McRaven advises audience to make difference in lifeby COLLETTE ORQUIZ

The North East Independent School Districts fledgling Wall of Heroes is open to more recipients, but competition is tough the 2015 honoree, the first, helped coordinate the attack that took out terrorist Osama bin Laden.

The district recently honored Roosevelt High School 1973 graduate and retired Navy Adm. William Bill McRaven with a plaque and his story on the Wall of Heroes at Heroes Stadium. McRaven is chancellor of the University of Texas System.

Ive been fortunate to be recognized by presidents and kings and prime ministers; frankly, nothing means more to me than being recognized by my friends from high school and by the North East Independent School District, McRaven said in his acceptance speech.

Last spring, NEISD selected McRaven from eight eligible candidates. Nominations are only accepted during odd-numbered years.

Admiral McRaven was chosen because of his stellar military career, his long

Challenges in 2016

The Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization will be soliciting public input for methods to update its short-term regional transportation plan. It will hold hearings on dozens of projects for state and federal funding, as well as act on non-tolled expansion options for U.S. 281 and Interstate 10.

Area residents got a reprieve from annexation by San Antonio, when the city suspended action on adding unincorporated areas until officials sift through reviews of the plan which will also hinge on contentious contract talks with police and firefighters. The goal to expand city boundaries might not see movement for several months.

Local candidates met Dec. 14 deadlines for spots in the March 1 primaries, which will ask Texas voters to also select party preferences for president and other federal and state offices.

Public school districts will consider potential effects of revisions to federal education policy. Education officials also are bracing for the University Interscholastic Leagues biennial redistricting and reclassification process, to be announced in February.

Area military could be affected by changes involving federal budget sequestration and increased involvement against worldwide terrorism threats.

Our community will face these and other challenges in the new year one I hope will result in prosperity and peace for all.

heres a lot ahead for area

residents, who will be asked to consider a variety of state and local

issues and slates of political candidates in the coming months.

LOCAL COMMENTARY

Peace and mutual respect for Muslims by SUSAN YERKES

This holiday season, I gave a lot of thought to peace. As a Christian, I celebrated Christmas a

joyful recognition of the birth of a man known as the Prince of Peace. I was fortunate enough also to be invited to observe the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah with dear friends.

The last couple of years, I have also had the happy opportunity to share Muslim Ramadan celebrations and prayers with friends.

While the folks I refer to might customarily worship in different ways

and on different days than I do, they respect my beliefs, and they share my view the United States is the greatest place in the world to live.

Like me, they treasure the extraordinary freedoms we have in this country including freedom of speech and freedom of religion. As do most of the people I know.

So, I find it disturbing when any group is repeatedly singled out in hateful speech, and more disturbingly, hateful actions. People of every nation, including ours, have persecuted others on the basis of religion throughout history. Many pilgrims came to America to freely practice a faith, and the Founding Fathers passed on such ideals to us.

True, at different times Catholics, Jews and others have borne harsh burdens of discrimination, but religious freedom still remains part of the American fabric.

In the wake of terrorism in Paris and California, there has been a big spike nationally in the intimidation, threats and violence targeting American Muslims and their institutions. In San Antonio, an armed man appeared at a mosque in November shouting obscenities after the attacks in France.

Yet all of the Muslims I know, both individually and in organizations, have clearly condemned terroristic acts committed in the name of Islam, which they choose to practice peacefully just as most Christians have condemned acts of violence by gunmen like the accused Planned Parenthood shooter, the Oklahoma City bomber and others whose inspiration came from twisted, angry minds.

Its a shame when politicians play on fear by targeting an entire religion, rather than focusing on specific extremist groups we have reason to dread. Those groups do not represent the vast majority of American Muslims.

Several thousand San Antonians are Muslim. They are our neighbors, operating small businesses, teaching in universities, raising funds for common causes such as Habitat for Humanity and the San Antonio Food Bank. Their mosques and community organizations welcome friends of different faiths. At the Raindrop Turkish House, Turkish Muslims share their culture through cooking, art and language classes. Their Muslim members practice the tenets of peace, charity and harmony.

San Antonios chapter of the Dialogue Institute of the Southwest hosts regular

lectures and events celebrating diverse religions and promoting understanding and peace. This fall they sponsored interfaith dialogues with Congregation Agudas Achim and The Woodlands First Baptist Church. This month the Dialogue Institute and the Community Relations Council of the Jewish Federation of San Antonio are partnering to bring a special exhibit to town from the Jewish Museum of Turkey. On Feb. 1, the institute will partner with the University of the Incarnate Word to bring a prominent scholar to speak on the place of Jesus in Islam.

Many members of San Antonios peaceful Muslim community are reaching out to encourage understanding and respect. Its up to us to accept their offered friendship. Ive found it enriches my life and expands my horizons.

Im all for protecting our borders, thoroughly vetting folks who come here to earn Americas blessed freedoms, and taking strong action against those who would harm us or weaken our treasured American values.

The Muslim Americans I have met in San Antonio want those same things.

OUR TURNViews and opinions about your community

Therefore, the San Antonio City Councils decision to support Safe Exchange Zones at the six San Antonio Police Department substations makes perfect sense.

The idea, championed by District 10 Councilman Mike Gallagher, received unanimous approval from fellow elected leaders just a few weeks ago. Under this system, individuals who arrange to buy and sell merchandise over the Web, but decide to finalize the process in person, can meet in a secure area at a substation.

The Safe Exchange Zones are designated sites in the parking lots to transfer and pay for products listed on online marketplaces including Craigslist and Facebook. The spots are under camera surveillance, but if the parties involved desire additional security, they can go inside to the substation lobby.

The citys substations which started around the time of Chief Charles Rodriguez in the 1980s, and continued under the progressive administration of Chief William Gibson are always staffed by sworn personnel, conveniently located and well-lit.

An appointment to use these new rendezvous destinations is not needed, but calling ahead to the police substation is always appreciated.

Anyone can use the service.While in-person exchanges based

on Internet sales usually take place without incident, there still have been enough episodes nationwide involving fraud, assault and even worse to warrant the local Safe Exchange Zones.

One of the obligations of government is to protect its citizens, and the council working with the Police Department is fulfilling this duty by creating these safe havens.

Safe Exchange Zones help reduce risk of e-commerce sales

In this age of do-it-yourself Internet shopping using classified websites and other exchanges, some transactions when buyer and seller meet can be problematic or hazardous.

IN OTHER NEWSTHE UNIVERSITY INTERSCHOLASTIC LEAGUE, the states governing body for extracurricular public school activities, releases its biennial list of competitive football and basketball districts for the 2016-17 and 2017-18 school years on Feb. 1. Most Class 6A area high schools should remain stationary, though district placements could hinge on other regional reassignments. In November, UIL announced plans to raise 6A student enrollments by 50 from 2,100 to 2,150 and above. North East Independent School Districts seven high schools Churchill, Johnson, Lee, MacArthur, Madison, Reagan and Roosevelt currently alone in District 26-6A, could stand pat or be joined by others. The same in District 25-6A, which last fall saw four of its seven

football teams reach the state quarterfinals, a first since 2007. Steele, Clemens, Canyon, Smithson Valley, Judson, Wagner and New Braunfels might continue competing against each other, join the NEISD contingent or possibly enter an Austin-area 6A district. The announcement will be televised live in a morning broadcast on Fox Sports Southwest.

Q and A withSoccerZone Live Oak

President Darren Brown

QWhen should a child firstbe introduced to soccer?AAt 18 months, kids canstart to develop theirmotor skills and begin to takedirection from someone otherthan a parent. My daughtertook her first parent-assistedSoccer cubs class at twoyears old. She loved all thegames she got to play, theclimate-controlled environ-ment of SoccerZone, andgetting to interact with otherkids.

QWhy is soccer so popu-lar, with more than 265million players world-wide?

AIt is inexpensive, easy tolearn, has a fluid game-play, and doesnt require aphysically imposing individualin order for a player to excel.I dont enioy running and Imnot good at it, but put meon a soccer field and Ill runforever. The excitement andadrenaline rush are addic-tive, in a good way.

QWhat is so appealingabout indoor soccer?AIndoor soccer is fasterpaced (more confinedarea with walls to use as ateammate), higher scoring(and more shooting), givesplayers more touches onthe ball (because it is 6-on-6), and requires a shortertime commitment (45 minutegames).

TOTAL HOME SALES IN THE SAN ANTONIO-NEW BRAUNFELS metropolitan statistical area remained steady, as 3.1 percent more residences were sold in November than during the same period in 2014, according to San Antonio Board of Realtors data. November saw a low 3.8 months of inventory and houses spent on average 59 days on the market. Of 1,757 homes purchased, the average price of $220,596 represented a 2.7 percent decrease, while median prices remained flat at $185,000. Cibolos 41 home sales represented a 17.1 percent year-over-year increase. The average sales price increased 5.2 percent to $222,186 and the median price grew 13.3 percent to $229,200. Schertz home sales remained flat when compared to 2014, as 40 homes sold in November. The citys average sales price decreased 5.7 percent to $201,811, with homes selling in only 44 days 96.3 percent bought at listed prices.In Bexar County, a total of 1,309 houses sold, a 0.9 percent year-over-year increase, with median prices advancing 0.6 percent, to $176,000. San Antonio home sales totaling 813 units increased 3.8 percent compared to 2014. The median sales price rose 4.5 percent to $162,000, with 695 sales still pending.

BEXAR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS COURT ON DEC. 15 unanimously approved an interlocal agreement with eight suburban cities in creating a cooperative purchasing program to give them greater acquisition power for commodities and services. Under the agreements, Schertz, Selma, Elmendorf, Grey Forest, Hollywood Park, Kirby, Leon Valley and Sandy Oaks can ride Bexar County contracts with vendors at no extra cost to the county. The co-op allows the cities to reduce expenses when obtaining goods and services, and increase participation of potential sellers in the bid-solicitation process. Adding more municipalities to the cooperative is probable. Participating cities will pay a 1 percent administration fee for each purchase made through the co-op, but the county has the ability to increase or decrease amounts in maintaining cost-neutral responsibilities for Bexar County.

SMITHSON VALLEY HIGH SCHOOLS BRITTNEY LANEHART was recently named Texas Girls Coaches Associations Cross-Country Coach of the Year. Lanehart led Smithson Valleys boys and girls teams to regional titles and berths at the University Interscholastic Leagues Class 6A state championships in November. Since becoming a Ranger in 2013, Lanehart piloted the girls to three regional titles and state appearances, and in 2014, coached

Devin Clark to an individual state cross-country title. Coach Lanehart represents Smithson Valley and Comal ISD so well she is very deserving of this award, said Matt Monzingo, Comal Independent School District athletic director.

SPURS SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT RECENTLY ANNOUNCED AN AGREEMENT with Bexar County and San Antonio to operate a new soccer franchise at Toyota Field in 2016. The deal, announced Dec. 22, may be a forerunner to local Major League Soccer. The city and county purchased the 8,500-seat stadium for $18 million. SS&E agreed to a 20-year lease to run all operations, pursue an MLS club, and donate $3 million to Morgans Wonderland, a special-needs theme park adjacent to Toyota Field at the corner of Wurzbach Parkway and Thousand Oaks Drive. In a release, SS&E stated it will operate a United Soccer League team this year. USL is the largest professional soccer organization in North America, comprised of independent and MLS-owned and operated squads. The accord eliminates the San Antonio Scorpions, a North American Soccer League team based at Toyota Field since 2013. We are very excited to continue the growth of soccer in San Antonio, and we plan to operate a USL franchise as part of a proven path to Major League Soccer, said Rick Pych, SS&E president of business operations.

Following months of debate and a sometimes-raucous Dec. 9 meeting, by a 4-3 vote the JISD board reaffirmed the Mackey selection for the campus, expected to open in August on Evans Road near Nacogdoches Road.

Red, white and blue are the schools colors, with Patriots as the mascot.

More than two hours of public discourse often split along racial lines preceded

the ultimate outcome; Mackey is African-American. In addition, some were upset board President Steve Salyer did not place the issue on the Nov. 19 agenda.

Ken Lucas, an ex-JISD trustee, accused Salyer of delaying and denying residents input after the trustees initial 5-2 vote Sept. 16 naming the districts third high school for Mackey, who served from 2007 until 2014.

petition and you still want to sit here and continue this process? I ask you to stand up and be a leader, he said.

Cyndi Green Lucas supported her husband.

Everyone needs to stand together for Judson pride, she said. Its not about (naming the school) for one individual, because thats not what its all about. Its about following the (districts) policies and procedures.

Salyer was absent from the Nov. 19 session, though he did attend Dec. 9.

An arduous process led to the board reconfirming its September decision. In the wake of the first result, a coalition of JISD parents, former students and residents protested through social media and online appeals for nearly three months.

Previously, the district had solicited public input on potential names and received more than 400 suggestions.

In addition to Mackey, other nominees included Clarence B. Alberts, a former Judson High School principal; Robert Evans, a landowner during the 19th century whose property is now home to JISD facilities and is the namesake for Evans Road; and Marine

Lance Cpl. Christopher Baltazar Jr., who died serving in Afghanistan in 2009.

Also proposed were Thomas E. Eddie Parsley, who worked for JISD 30 years, including as a principal at Kirby and Kitty Hawk middle schools and Judson High; and Helen Rook, a longtime educator responsible for launching JISDs gifted and talented program.

Other nominees included late Wagner High School student Leslie Avalos, President Barack Obama and Julian Castro, former San Antonio mayor and current Housing and Urban Development secretary.

Many spoke in favor of titling the facility after Parsley, including past Judson High football coach and JISD Athletic Director Frank Arnold, and Parsleys daughter, Dawn Parsley Johnson.

Eddie Parsley was such an obvious choice for this school that it seems unfathomable that he not be chosen, she said. As time (since the original decision) progressed, it became evident that some members of this board had other intentions. Thats when you began to see people speak up and engage.

She added, People are paying attention and the name on this school does matter. To me, its not about Dr. Mackey. Its about honoring a man who spent 30 years of his life (for this district).

However, Mackey had plenty of fans at the December meeting, including many African-Americans.

Wagner High JROTC instructor Wayne Harper recited the educators accomplishments.

He was enthusiastic, inspiring and influential, Harper said. Judson ISD became a recognized (school) district under his leadership.

Added Keith Marshall, another supporter, Dr. Mackeys credentials speak for themselves, he said. I ask you, whats the problem? Ill tell you its the 800-pound gorilla thats still in the room.

The comment, eliciting boos from those feeling Marshall was playing the race card, was reinforced by former JISD trustee Johnny Harris, who disputed opposition speakers insistence their positions werent racially motivated.

Any time someone leads with saying that its not about race, its about

race, Harris said, adding there was practically no dissent during other recent designations of JISD schools for Anglos.

Not a single person showed up to protest those names, Harris said, but then, none of those people were African-American or Hispanic.

In the end, Salyer and board members Gilbert Flores, Rene Paschall and Richard LaFoille voted to uphold the original decision, with trustees Jose Macias, Arnoldo Salinas and his daughter, Melinda Salinas, voting against.

Mackey High is the second JISD school named after an African-American.

Opponents are still miffed Mackey will receive $218,000 as part of his settlement with the district, remaining on the payroll until June. In mid-December, Texas Education Commissioner Michael Williams appointed Mackey as one of seven managers to guide the final months at La Marque ISD, merging with Texas City ISD in June.

Meanwhile, construction at Mackey High is more than 84 percent complete, said JISD spokesman Steve Linscomb. With the controversy concluded, branding the Mackey name (on the school) has not begun, but should commence (in January), he added.

THE BEST KEPT SECRET

ELECTIONS continues from pg. 01

Its the first salvo leading to the March 1 Super Tuesday primaries, which feature candidates who met the Dec. 14 filing deadline in hopes of obtaining party nominations and spots in the Nov. 8 general election.

Perhaps the biggest upset chance is the U.S. House District 21 post, for years occupied by Republican Lamar Smith of San Antonio. He faces GOP challengers Matt McCall, Todd Phelps and John Murphy. The winner squares off against Tom Wakely or

Tejas Vakil, both seeking the Democratic nod.While the district likely might

remain in GOP control, the same cant be said in many other local races.

A traditional Democratic stronghold, District 118 covers parts of Universal City, Cibolo, Schertz, Converse, Selma and Live Oak extending from east Bexar County and wrapping clockwise to southwest portions of the county, as well as parts of San Antonio and most of Elmendorf, Somerset, St. Hedwig and Von Ormy.

Members of two families Uresti or Farias have represented this district during the past 18 years. Democrat Tomas Uresti will face Republican John Lujan to fill the remaining months of the term vacated by Joe Farias, who announced his resignation in August.

Heres where it gets tricky. Harlandale school board trustee Uresti is the older brother of District 19 state Sen. Carlos Uresti, who represented District 118 for years before successfully leaping to the Senate in 2006. Joe Farias succeeded Carlos Uresti, serving until his resignation last August.

Farias son, Gabe, Tomas Uresti and others sought to succeed the elder Farias in a Nov. 3 special election, but newcomer

20 JAN. 18 - FEB. 15, 2016

Lujan threatened the two-family dynasty by placing second to Tomas Uresti, with Gabe Farias finishing third.

Because no candidate in the special election received a majority of votes, the Texas Election Code requires that a special runoff election be held not earlier than the 70th or later than the 77th day after final canvass of the balloting, which makes it Jan. 26.

The Jan. 26 runoff winner either Tomas Uresti or Lujan will fill the unexpired two-year term of the elder Farias, which ends this year. Early voting is Jan. 18-22.

March 1, however, the fight for the districts two-year position begins anew, when both party primaries reprise previous election contests. Tomas Uresti and Gabe Farias will again vie for the Democratic position. Lujan will face Robert Casias, a Somerset rancher who also chased the post last November, for the Republican berth.

Nominations for national seats including president and U.S. House; Texas offices such as railroad commissioner, Supreme Court, Court of Criminal Appeals justices and board of education members; and other local posts will be at the forefront on March 1.

Though there are plenty of unopposed

races, a few local contests will pique interests. The District 26 state Senate race will be a

reprise of the February 2015 special election, when then-District 124 state Rep. Jos Menndez defeated District 116 state Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer to succeed state Sen. Leticia Van de Putte. Both will again battle March 1 for the Democratic nomination to hold the seat for a four-year term.

Two neighboring House districts are also being contested. In District 119, which includes parts of Live Oak, Universal City, Converse and Schertz, Democratic incumbent Roland Gutierrez is unopposed for his partys primary nod and wont face a Republican challenger in November.

In District 120, which includes part of Converse and most of Windcrest, Democrats Lou Miller, LaTronda Darnell, Barbara Gervin-Hawkins, Art Hall, Mario Salas and Byron Miller are vying to succeed retiring Democratic Rep. Ruth Jones McClendon.

Bexar County Precinct 3 Commissioner Kevin Wolff will face two other Republican challengers, Mike Koerner and Pamela Lill, with the winner vying against Democrat Brandon Johnson in November.

Guadalupe County has a host of challengers for several positions. Notable races feature Daryl John against Elizabeth

Guerrero for the Republican nod to succeed longtime Tax Assessor-Collector Tavie Murphy, while George Antuna goes against incumbent Jim Wolverton for the GOP nomination as Precinct 3 commissioner.

GOP candidates for Precinct 1 commissioner are incumbent Greg Seidenberger and challenger Wayne Lehman. Unopposed in nomination bids for District 44 state representative are Republican incumbent John Kuempel and Democrat Robert Bohmfalk.

Theres a long list of candidates running to succeed longstanding Comal County Sheriff Bob Holder. Brent Paullus, James Walker, Josh Dean and Mark Reynolds are competing for the Republican nomination. The winner will face Democrat Fred Riter and 20-year-old write-in independent candidate D.J. Seeger in Novembers general election.

Incumbent Donna Eccleston shall contest challenger Garrison Maurer for the GOP nod as Comal Countys Precinct 1 commissioner. Incumbent District 73 state Rep.

HEROES continues from pg. 01

list of honors and accomplishments, his dedication to his family and country, the example he sets for others, his work ethic and the fact that he is a Roosevelt High School graduate, said NEISD spokeswoman Aubrey Chancellor.

According to the school district, President Barack Obama credits McRaven for helping plan and direct the Navy SEAL raid contributing to the May 2011 death of the al-Qaida founder and one of the masterminds behind 9/11.

Its been 40 years since McRaven set foot in his alma mater, but he said his trip was like a homecoming. During a 10-minute address Oct. 16, he gave thanks and advice to the Rough Rider JROTC Battalion in the crowd.

Battalion commander cadet Lt. Col. Samantha Bakaysa, a senior, and freshman Aries McLachlan took photos with McRaven and his wife Georgeann Brady McRaven.

Its not everyday that you get to be chosen to stand next to a war hero and his wife, and get to shake his hand. Thats not like a daily basis thing, its a once-in-a-lifetime chance, Aries said.

Future nominations, available by contacting NEISD or emailing [email protected], include a form and a written essay, which touches on the following criteria:n Demonstrated courage, service and self-sacrifice in ones lifes work, which brought honor to family or communityn Made a positive impact in the lives of current and future generations through unselfish commitment to community/military servicen Excelled academically and/or achieved a high level of postgraduate successn Is deserving of enshrinement on the Wall of Heroes

NEISD officials said the new program recognizes and celebrates achievements of people who embody heroic values while making a positive impact in their community. The school board approves final selections.

The wall is situated on the home side of the field at Heroes Stadium, 4799 Thousand Oaks Drive. The building grew out of the 2007 bond program. The districts other events complex is Blossom Athletic Center.

McRaven joined the military as a SEAL, and recently ended a 37-year career. He graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 1977 with a bachelors degree in journalism, followed by a masters degree from the Naval Postgraduate School in 1991. His last assignment was leading U.S. Special Operations Command, where he conducted counterterrorism campaigns worldwide.

McRaven has received numerous accolades, including a Distinguished

Alumnus Award from the University of Texas, the Ordre National de la Lgion dhonneur from France, 2011 Texan of the Year, and the USOs 2013 Military Distinguished Service Award.

Bakaysa is proud of McRavens Roosevelt roots.

Hes not this high-exalted person, hes down-to-earth, hes like us, the cadet said.

Speaking at Roosevelt, McRaven said one act of courage, one act of kindness, or one act of compassion could make a huge difference.

Never, ever pass up a chance to help someone. Never, ever pass up the chance to be kind. The students you help can go on to change the world and you can be a part of it, said the military man who actually never joined Roosevelts JROTC.

He attributes his success to friends and family, but also his high school teachers and coaches.

Col. Robert Foutz, one of three Army instructors for Roosevelts JROTC, said the admirals words inspired the students.

It was a sea of gray uniforms ... As he talked, there wasnt a phone out, there wasnt a sleepy eye, every cadet was glued to Adm. McRavens comments, Foutz said. I just felt that energy, that sense of inspiration, that desire to say Im a part of this great organization.

McRaven also spoke to the Rough Rider football players and admitted being more of a benchwarmer than a player when he was on the Roosevelt team.

For all of us that spent time in high school, they are formative years and they make a difference and they really do kind of start your trajectory towards the future. If it was a good experience, which mine was great, then you go off and do good things, McRaven said.

What separates us from others is that we dont require you to buy a membership or come into our gym to accomplish your fitness goals, said Roland Aguilar, co-owner of the studio at 8020 Pat Booker Road. However, hands-on training will get you the best results.

The workout venue is in the same structure as SoccerZone.

Both opened last fall.Once we meet and determine what

you want to accomplish, we will design a 30- to 90-day plan that will get you there, and you can even work out at home or at a location of your choice, if that is best for you, he added.

The first appointment is free; contact [email protected].

Aguilar and business partner Atlai Quistian are both certified personal trainers.

We want people to call us to discuss what exactly they want to do to get into shape, Aguilar said. Its important that people understand that there are no barriers that will prevent us from creating a plan that will enable them to do so.

Staffers can train seniors, people with health concerns or chronic conditions,

and even expectant mothers.Our expertise and knowledge

give us insight into designing health plans that encompass fitness, nutrition, online coaching and 24/7 support to our customers, Aguilar said, and if there are small groups of like-minded individuals, we will create a plan that will be both efficient and fun.

According to Aguilar, major components of any workout program include weight training, cardiovascular

The doughnut shop is at 11104 Toepperwein Road, next to Papa Johns Pizza.

Tun, a 10-year veteran of the baking industry, recently opened the store to provide hot-from-the-oven goodies people crave for breakfast or as a pleasant snack during the day, she said.

I think we have the best recipes and we work hard to make the best doughnuts and pastries for our customers, she added. We buy fresh and good-tasting

ingredients from the best suppliers. Donut Kolache Palace offers a

full range of yeast and cake donuts, including fruit- and cream-filled, as well as chocolate and glazed versions.

There are also specialty delights, such as bear claws, tiger tails, clairs and fritters.

Everything we do is made fresh each morning, Tun said. We wake up early every morning to do what we do. People really like what we do so far.

As the name suggests, Tuns eatery also serves kolaches a Czech baked good, which has become a South Texas favorite.

These doughy buns come in either the sweet or savory variety, and can be filled with sugary jams, cheeses or stick-to-your-ribs breakfast staples such as sausage, eggs and bacon.
