Following Jesus' arrest, Peter stands in the courtyard during the illegal nighttime trial. [...] as Jesus had predicted, a rooster crows and Peter makes eye contact with Jesus across the courtyard. On the third day, Mary Magdalene came to the disciples saying the tomb is empty. Can you imagine what is going through Peter's mind? Is it true? Peter, true to his character, pushes past John, who is peering in, and plunges right in. At the very least it means the body isn't missing because of grave robbers. Did you notice what the angel's message was to the women? “Go tell the disciples and Peter.”

Lady Rangers just two games away from state tournament Since the Class 5A softball playoffs began, Smithson Valley has been on a roll with three convincing victories. Sporting a younger team following last year's Class 4A championship season, the Rangers went through a few growing pains and bouts of inconsistency, which ended up costing them a District 25-5A title. Smithson Valley (22-7) struggled at the plate early with five strikeouts, but eventually the Rangers got the upper hand, breaking a 1-1 tie in the third with a two-run double from Celena Massey, who also had an RBI single in the first. Massey had another run-scoring double and more Holmes errors enabled Smithson Valley to build its lead, but the Rangers needed to come up with sharp pitching from Regan Mergele and clutch defensive plays to put a wrap on the victory. Joseph Barsalou reached on a throwing error to lead off the inning, before Cole McKay delivered a two-out RBI double.

Coupled with a gutsy pitching effort (2-3, 2.44 ERA) he has helped St. Mary's to a third straight Heartland Conference championship and a trip to the South Central Regional. St. Mary's lost a 2-1 decision to St. Edwards in the finals, but Moczygemba delivered a solid showing while allowing seven hits and scattering five strikeouts in seven innings. Head coach Charlie Migl has watched the Smithson Valley product produce solid results wherever he plays. “We've won the regular season conference championship and gone to the playoffs all three years,” he said. Last year we got to go to North Carolina (Cary) for the national tournament. The Rattlers, who received an at-large bid to regionals, has a tough challenge, but a strong pitching staff, quality fielding and steady hitters are present, along with the experience of being there before.

Today, high-speed broadband services offered by these national carriers cost more than $500 a year and even more when customers are forced to bundle Internet access with cable or phone packages. [...] this arrangement lets operators record obscene profit margins. Craig Moffett, an industry analyst for Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., noted that the margin for Comcast's broadband service is around 80 percent. Towns and cities across the country have smart ideas about how to deliver affordable and locally owned Internet access to their residents, including creating their own networks. Community Internet creates market competition for communications services, improves schools, enhances public safety and social services, and encourages entrepreneurs to keep their businesses local. The industry's latest fight to stop community Internet took place in Georgia last month, where phone and cable lobbyists lined up to support a bill that would have prohibited towns and cities from creating local networks. Timothy Karr is the senior strategy director for Free Press, a national, nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated to reforming the media.

Not only has the commission convened their regularly scheduled meetings, they also have been meeting twice and sometimes more times a month to review the city's Sunrise 2025 comprehensive long-range plan. What impresses me about the planning commission is how they look in depth at the possible negative results that could come from a seemingly good intention. Thoroughfare and drainage planning are two areas we feel the need to be shored up in more detail because what is currently included in the Sunrise plan now is very basic. With a good comprehensive plan and the guidelines it will provide, the savings to taxpayers will be worth it.

In other business, council voted to develop a committee to look into road safety and enhancements for “multi-modal transportation.” The idea for the committee came from a row that developed after Krawietz wrote in his weekly Bulverde News' column April 25 about an incident he experienced while passing cyclists touring through the Bulverde area. The committee will initially have nine members which may include Bulverde Police Chief Gary Haecker, Comal County Commissioner Scott Haag, Jon Hazel, chairman of the planning and zoning commission, councilman-elect Gene Hartman and David Forsberg, manager of a new bicycle shop in Bulverde called Gotta Ride Bikes. The group will likely explore preferred bicycle routes through the area and developing maps for cyclists, as well as pinpoint public safety issues. Current ordinance only allows for a 32-square-foot sign per leased commercial space in a strip mall. John Cole, a resident of Bulverde who develops industrial sound suppressors for firearms was also unanimously granted a special use permit to operate a home office. The city ordinance does not allow for manufacturing for commercial purposes out of one's home, but the applicant said he only creates prototypes to sell to commercial manufacturers.

Zach Oliva's No. 1 goal this season was to break Smithson Valley's school record (175 feet) in the discus, while also making it to the Class 5A State Track Meet in Austin. After qualifying for state with a school-record toss of 187 feet, 3 inches en route to the Region IV title, the University of Houston signee went to main event as the No. 1 seed. In addition to being Smithson Valley's discus record holder, he's also believed to be the Rangers' first male athlete to win a state title. After scratching on his second attempt, Oliva saw older brother Matt, who has been studying in China, in attendance. The same day, Marisa Ellis became Canyon Lake's first athlete to win a gold medal at the Class 3A State Meet with a victory in the high jump. Ellis, who went to the 3A Meet a year ago in the triple jump, cleared 5 feet, 6 inches on her first attempt, which turned out to be the key to victory.

Not even miserable weather conditions can prevent Smithson Valley's baseball and softball teams from succeeding in the playoff rounds. Smithson Valley faces Holmes in the softball regional quarterfinals Friday at Mary Villarreal Sports Complex, while the Rangers began a best-of-three area playoff series with Corpus Christi King. The Rangers (21-7), who began the softball playoffs with a 12-0 whipping of MacArthur, warmed up to the cold weather with another hot offensive performance. Kahlie Barrett, who drove in five runs, and Kellen Robles belted three-run triples in the frame. The victory in the miserable weather also gave a warm boost the Rangers' baseball team. MacArthur struck for a run in the first inning, but Smithson Valley (20-11) came back with three in the second on George Schwanenburg's two-run single and Alex McElroy's RBI double. After Allen retired MacArthur in order in the seventh, he helped the Rangers deliver the needed magic to seal the victory with two outs in the bottom of the frame.

Clark got her first state meet as a freshman a year ago and made it an impressive debut with third-place finishes in the 3,200 and 1,600 at the 4A meet. [...] Clark is a different runner as well. Because of her maturity as a runner and success in cross country and track this season, it appears she is ready for whatever comes her way. A few minutes after getting the gold, Clark was on the track again, helping her teammates in the 1,600 relay. Cameron Jones earned his state berth with silver medals in the long jump (22-9.5) and triple jump (45-8). Smithson Valley's softball team crossed its first hurdle toward another state tournament appearance as Regan Mergele's six-inning no-hitter led the Rangers to a 12-0 whipping of MacArthur in bi-district play. Mergele hit a batter and three errors also put runners on base, but the Rangers were never in any serious trouble. Smithson Valley started with two runs in the first on Massey's two-run double and three more in the second on a bases-loaded walk to the Rangers' catcher and Taylor Darilek's two-run single. District 25-5A champion Smithson Valley begins its baseball playoff trek in a best-of-three series against MacArthur.

Spring training gives Rangers chance to fill spots [...] the Rangers accomplished plenty during offseason drills. Matt Espurvoa and Tyler Zigmond have experience on the offensive line, but the plan during spring training is seeing how the two fare on the defensive side. The senior, currently playing with the baseball team in the playoffs, made an impressive varsity debut a year ago as a double threat while passing for 1,317 yards and 10 touchdowns and running for 718 yards and seven touchdowns. [...] the Rangers plan to take advantage of his pass-catching skills. Depth is also at quarterback where Austin Franco and Kyle Kershner, the starting QB on the JV last year, are capable of handling the duties. The spring drills also give players who spent most of last year on special teams or in backup roles an opportunity to shine.
