Is it selfish to stock up on sales items 

I received lots of feedback 

from readers concerned 

about advice I passed on: to 

maximize savings by purchasing 

as many sale items 

as possible with your coupons. 

Here’s one letter: 

In reading your column, 

I’m concerned that you 

may be encouraging people 

to take more than their 

share. Countless times, I’ve 

gone to buy a product with 

a coupon and had to get 

a rain check. Meanwhile, 

I have witnessed people 

buying cases upon cases of 

the same product. I know 

people may feel they are 

just out for themselves 

and their families, but how 

greedy can you get 

It’s true that when we 

buy on a price-based basis 

versus a needs-based basis, 

the items that are on the 

best sales at the store deplete 

quickly. So what’s a shopper 

to do 

This reader is definitely 

on the right track by getting a 

rain check. While it may be a 

minor inconvenience to have 

to get a rain check when the 

store is out of a particular sale 

item, it can also work to our 

advantage as shoppers. Most 

rain checks are good for 30 

days. That’s a nice, long time 

to check back at the store, at 

your convenience, and pick 

up sale items when they’re 

back in stock. 

You can even use rain 

checks to “extend the sale” 

for yourself! During a great 

sale on dog food, our store 

was having trouble keeping 

bags in stock. I bought the 

last three bags that were on 

the shelf — and of course, I 

used my coupons on them. 

Then, I asked for a rain check 

for six more bags. 

Over the next few days, 

I got in touch with friends 

and family who also save 

their coupons, but don’t own 

dogs. I asked them if I could 

have their dog food coupons. 

Native 

Plant 

Society

The San Antonio chapter of 

the Native Plant Society of 

Texas will meet Tuesday, 

March 23, at 7 p.m. in the 

Lions Field Adult & Senior 

Center, 2809 Broadway. 

Guest speaker Tom Castano 

will present a program using 

native plants to make fiber for 

ropes, fabric, and other items. 

Visitors are welcome to this 

free event. A social and seed/ 

plant exchange starts at 6:30 

p.m.

210-999-7292 for more details. 

Emmy’s 

A week later, I went back to 

the store and picked up more 

with the coupons I’d just acquired. 

The shelves were full 

again, and I was still able to 

enjoy the sale price because 

of the rain check. 

With regard to this reader’s 

comment that he’s seen 

Tips from the 

COUPON 

QUEEN 

By Jill Cataldo 

CTW Features 

people buying up every 

single item in stock during 

a sale, I do sympathize. I’ve 

never been a “shelf-clearer,” 

nor do I advocate being one. 

I’m certainly aware that at 

times, if something’s a fantastic 

deal, it’s tempting to 

buy every one of them in 

sight! 

And I know there are two 

schools of thought when it 

comes to great sales. Either 

you feel you’re “first come, 

first served” and are entitled 

to buy whatever you want, or 

you will buy in moderation 

and leave some behind for 

others.

I’ve found that a third option 

works well, too: special 

orders. Most major grocery 

stores (drugstores too) order 

and receive stock every 

single day. If there’s something 

I want to buy in a larger 

quantity that might affect 

how many of a certain item 

is on the shelves for everyone 

else, I’ll go to the store’s 

service counter and order it. 

This has two benefits. I’m 

not clearing the shelf of a 

product and potentially leaving 

others frustrated. And I 

also know that the next day, 

I will get a phone call letting 

me know that my items are 

in. I can go to the counter, 

pick up exactly what I need, 

and I won’t have to make extra, 

unnecessary trips to the 

store to see if my products 

may finally be back in stock. 

Remember, stores want 

our business. It’s usually not 

a problem at all to specialorder 

products. Most stores 

are very happy to accommodate 

their customers. During 

a recent sale on bottled water 

at a local grocery store, 

so many people in our town 

were special-ordering water 

that the service counter at the 

store had pyramids of water 

cases sitting behind it, each

Floresville 

Musical Club 

meeting held 

March 9. 


The Floresville Musical Club 

met March 9 in the Floresville 

Lutheran Church. 

Each of the ladies was 

greeted at the door by the 

hostesses: LaJuana Newnam- 

Leus, Nancy Traeger, Mary 

Ann Johnston, Lenora 

Dickens, Linda Pipes, 

Peggy Tope, Sarah Gella, 

Elaine Kolodziej, Lilli De 

Los Santos, and Mary Jane 

Moczygemba. 

The tables were decorated 

using some of the dolls from 

Moczygemba’s collection. 

Every doll had a painted 

ceramic face and each was 

dressed in bridal fashions, 

sailor outfits, or Sunday finery 

Ṡarah Gella, president, 

called the meeting to order 

and introduced the hostesses. 

She introduced the program, 

which consisted of Bob 

Green’s piano and guitar students. 

Two young men played 

two guitar duets for the members. 

Two of Green’s students 

played the piano, and one 

student entertained the ladies 

with a song. Green told the 

members that he did not have 

recitals, so this was an opportunity 

to perform 

in front of an audience. 

All of the 

students were 

very good. 

The refreshments 

served were chicken 

salad sandwiches and pimento 

cheese sandwiches, candied 

pecans, and a choice of 

lemon cake or Boston cream 

pie cake. Two kinds of hot tea 

were also offered.

Sidetracked to achieve His purpose 

I’ve collected many stories 

over the years via e-mail, 

snail mail, and published 

materials. Most everything 

I use has no author attached 

to it, but I do save all my 

sources for future reference. 

Some of them sit around for 

some time before I use them. 

Then suddenly they seem to 

fit the thought of my column 

perfectly. 

I received a story the 

other day that made another 

story stand out, and I 

thought it appropriate to use 

them together. They are love 

stories, one for the body and 

one for the soul. They are 

rather lengthy, so we’ll share 

one this week and the other 

next week. 

A nurse took the tired, 

anxious serviceman to the 

bedside. “Your son is here,” 

she said to the old man. She 

repeated her statement several 

times before the patient’s 

eyes opened. Heavily sedated 

because of the pain of his 

heart attack, he dimly saw 

the young uniformed Marine 

standing outside the oxygen 

tent. Reaching out his hand, 

the Marine wrapped his 

toughened fingers around 

the old man’s limp ones, 

squeezing a message of love 

and encouragement. 

The nurse brought a chair 

so the Marine could sit beside 

the bed. All through the 

night, the Marine sat there 

in the dimly lit ward, holding 

the old man’s hand and 

On The 

Road To 

Forever 

By Thomas W. 

Bonham 

offering words of love and 

strength. Occasionally, the 

nurse suggested the Marine 

move away and rest awhile, 

but he refused. 

Whenever the nurses 

would come and go, the 

Marine was oblivious to 

their presence. The noises of 

the hospital — the clanking 

of oxygen tanks, the laughter 

of the night staff as they 

greeted one another, the cries 

and moans of other nearby 

patients — did not move 

him. Now and then, the nurse 

heard him say a few gentle 

words; the dying man said 

nothing, only held tightly to 

his son all through the night. 

Towards dawn, the old 

man died. The Marine released 

the now lifeless hand 

he had been holding and 

went to tell the nurse. While 

she did what she had to do, 

he waited. 

When she returned, she 

started to offer words of 

sympathy, but the Marine interrupted 

her. “Who was that 

man” he asked. Startled, the 

nurse said, “I thought he was 

your father!” 

“No, he wasn’t,” the 

Marine replied. “I’ve never 

seen him before in my life.” 

“Why didn’t you say something 

when I took you to 

him” inquired the nurse. 

“I knew right away there 

had been a mistake, but I also 

knew he needed his son, but 

his son wasn’t here. When I 

realized he was too sick to 

tell whether I was his son or 

not, and knowing how much 

he needed me, I stayed. I 

came here last night looking 

for a Mr. William Gray. His 

son has been killed in Iraq, 

and I have been sent to inform 

him.” 

The eyes of the nurse 

filled with tears as she replied, 

“The man whose hand 

you held and comforted all 

night is Mr. William Gray.” 

(Acts 17:22-28) Paul was 

speaking to a group of Greek 

philosophers about their concept 

of “the Unknown God.” 

He told them that all things 

came from God and that 

God is not served by human 

hands or in need of anything, 

“ ... because he himself gives 

all men life and breath and 

everything else.” “... and he 

determined the times set for 

them and the exact places 

where they should live.” 

As an earthly father determines 

what is best for his 

family and moves to locations 

that will most benefit 

the family, so God directs us 

to places where we will seek 

and serve Him to the benefit 

of others, in His name. 

Like the Marine, we all 

have physical responsibilities. 

I have learned to let God 

sidetrack me, because when 

He directs my footsteps, I receive 

a physical and spiritual 

reward. Plus, the task at hand 

gets completed in a better 

way than my way.

Lions' PET 


Lions Club members Sam Pantusa (left) and 

Sid Martin show off a PET — Personal Energy 

Transportation — to members of the Floresville 

Lions Club during their March 11 meeting at Jack's 

Café. A PET is a three-wheeled, off-road wheelchair 

operated by hand power, with wide rubber tires that 

will travel over rough, unimproved terrain. PETs are 

delivered at no cost to people in developing countries 

who have lost the use of their legs — many by stepping 

on land mines, some because of polio or birth 

defects. Raising funds to produce and distribute 

PETs is a project of Lions International.

How to 

get Social 

Security 

disability 

Dear Savvy Senior, 

What do I need to do to get 

Social Security disability I’m 58 

years old and have back problems 

that are keeping me from doing my 

job, but I’ve heard it’s very difficult 

to actually get disability benefits. 

What tips can you offer 

Disabled Dave 

Dear Dave, 

The process of getting Social 

Security disability benefits can be 

tricky and time-consuming, but you 

can help yourself by doing some 

homework and getting prepared. 

Here’s what you should know. 

Last year, around 3 million 

people applied for Social Security 

disability benefits, but two-thirds 

of them were denied. Why the 

By Jim Miller 

high denial rate Because most applicants 

fail to provide sufficient 

medical evidence that prove they’re 

disabled and can’t work. While 

there are no magic tips to getting 

Social Security disability, there are 

several steps you can take to give 

yourself a better chance for a favorable 

decision. 

Your first step is to know if your 

disability meets Uncle Sam’s criteria. 

Social Security strictly requires 

that you must be physically or mentally 

unable to perform “any” substantial 

work and have a medical 

condition that’s lasted or is expected 

to last at least a year or result in 

death. You must also have worked 

five out of the last 10 years and be 

under full retirement age. For more 

details, see http://ssa.gov/dibplan/ 

dqualify4.htm and go through the 

five questions Social Security uses 

to decide if you’re disabled. 

If you think you qualify, your 

next step is to learn all you can 

about how the program works. 

Your best resource is http:// 

SocialSecurity.gov — click on 

“Disability.” Or, if you don’t have 

Internet access, Social Security offers 

lots of free publications that 

you can have mailed to you, including 

“Disability Benefits” (publication 

No. 05-10029), which provides 

a good comprehensive overview. 

Call 1-800-772-1213 to order publications. 

After you bone up, your next 

step is to gather up your personal, 

financial, and medical information 

so you can be prepared and organized 

for the application process. 

You’ll need your Social Security 

number; birth certificate; names, 

addresses, and phone numbers of 

the doctors, hospitals, and clinics 

that took care of you and dates of 

your visits; names and dosage of 

all the medicine you take; medical 

records from your doctors, therapists, 

hospitals, and clinics; lab 

and test results; documents stating 

your physician’s objective view of 

your condition, restrictions, and 

limitations; a summary of where 

you worked and the kind of work 

you did; and a copy of your most 

recent W-2 form or, if you are selfemployed, 

your federal tax return 

for the past year. 

After you get your information 

together, you can apply either online 

at http://ssa.gov/applyfordisability, 

or call 1-800-772-1213 to 

make an appointment to apply at 

your local Social Security office 

or to set up an appointment for 

someone to take your claim over 

the phone. The whole process lasts 

about an hour. 

If you schedule an appointment, 

a “Disability Starter Kit” that will 

help you get ready for your interview 

will be mailed to you. If you 

apply online, the kit is available at 

http://ssa.gov/disability. 

It takes three to five months 

from the initial application to receive 

either an award or initial denial 

of disability benefits. The only 

exception is if you have a chronic 

illness that qualifies you for a 

“compassionate allowance” (see 

http://ssa.gov/compassionateallowances), 

which fast-tracks cases 

within 10 days. 

If Social Security denies your 

application for disability, you can 

request a hearing to appeal the decision, 

and you’ll be happy to know 

that roughly 55 percent of cases 

that go through a round or two of 

appeals end with benefits being 

awarded. But the bad news is, with 

a backlog of over 700,000 people 

currently waiting for a hearing, it 

will take a year or two for you to 

get one. 

If you are having trouble getting 

your applications in order or need 

help with your appeal, consider getting 

an attorney or a Social Security 

disability claims services company 

to represent you. A representative 

can only charge you if they’re successful 

in getting you benefits. If 

they do succeed, typical fees are 

25 percent of past-due benefits or 

$6,000, whichever is less.

REMINISCING 

In those days, I was armed and dangerous 

During my 26 years of working 

with the Head Start program 

here in Floresville, I 

had many memorable moments, 

some of which I want 

to share with you. 

After working as an assistant 

cook for 10 years, I 

was blessed with the position 

of teacher/director of El 

Mesias Head Start Center. I 

had some big shoes to fill. 

Mrs. Josephine Garza, who 

was also a good friend, had 

very competently held that 

position for about 17 years. 

Head Start was going 

through some major 

changes. All teachers were 

now required to obtain a 

child development associate’s 

credential or degree. 

So I started attending San 

Antonio College at the age 

of 50! There were several of

For most of the two years 

that I went to school two 

nights a week, I had others 

to carpool with. But then, 

toward the end, there was a 

semester when I had to drive 

by myself. I made the mistake 

of mentioning to Henry 

that it was kind of spooky

walking through the parking 

lot at 9:45 p.m. The local students 

would get there earlier 

and get the parking spaces 

closer to the building. While 

I was still walking to the car, 

most of the others were already 

driving off. 

Well, Henry and Louie, 

our oldest son, decided that I 

needed protection. I thought 

one of them was going to 

volunteer to go with me. Fat 

chance! They suggested that 

I carry a gun for protection. 

Having hated guns all 

the years since I got married 

(there were never any 

guns in my parents’ house), I 

strongly objected. They kept 

on insisting — harassing, really 

— until I finally gave 

in. 

They gave me a small 

22-caliber handgun and 

showed me how to use it. I 

really wanted to leave it in 

the glove compartment, but 

they asked what good that 

would do if someone jumped 

me while I was walking to 

the car. So it went in my 

backpack, along with the 

books. I was always so nervous, 

because I was sure it 

would fall out at some point. 

Thank God I never had to 

use it. No one, either at the 

college or at the Head Start 

center, ever found out what I 

was doing, but it was the longest 

semester ever for me. 

To me, the best protection 

has always come from 

the Lord and my guardian 

angel. 

Julia Castro, a retired 

Head Start teacher and mother 

of 10, lives in Floresville

History of the La Vernia Garden Club 

The La Vernia Garden Club 

was organized March 2, 

1964, under the leadership 

of Gail Shriber, historian 

and member of the original 

Wilson County Historical 

Survey Committee. 

Mrs. Shriber invited a 

group of ladies into her 

home on Jan. 27, 1964, to 

discuss the possibility of 

organizing a garden and 

civic club in La Vernia. A 

second meeting followed 

on Feb. 6, 1964, in the La 

Vernia Methodist Church 

Educational Building, at 

which time a temporary slate 

of officers was appointed. 

Another meeting followed 

Feb. 24 with 13 present. 

The name La Vernia 

Garden Club was unanimously 

selected. The rose 

was selected as the club 

flower and the live oak as the 

club tree. Club colors were 

green and white. Meetings 

were to be held every third 

Wednesday of the month, 

September through May 

(excluding January) at two 

o’clock in the afternoon. 

Annual dues were $2 per 

member, payable at the first 

meeting of the year. 

The constitution and 

by-laws were read and approved 

by the charter members. 

A special meeting was 

held on March 10, 1964, to 

install the following elected 

officers for the year 1964- 

65: president, Mrs. John 

Cockrell; first vice president, 

Mrs. W.E. Walker; second 

vice president, Mrs. Joe 

Shriber; third vice president, 

Mrs. Ralph Huebinger; recording 

secretary, Mrs. Carl 

Richter; corresponding secretary, 

Mrs. Maple Hughes; 

treasurer, Mrs. Samuel 

Toney; and chaplain, Mrs. 

Alvin Vorpahl. 

Mrs. Fred Pierdolla Sr. 

was appointed as the representative 

to the San Antonio 

Garden Center, and Mrs. 

Ruth McGuire of the Sylvan 

Garden Club, San Antonio, 

served as installing officer. 

The following ladies 

were charter members of 

the La Vernia Garden Club: 


Past presidents of the La Vernia Garden Club and a charter member are honored at the 

club’s March 4 meeting. From left, Shirley Grammer, president from 1998-2002; Cherry 

Pierdolla, 1991-93; Marguerite Gay, 1993-95; Anona Vorpahl, charter member; Willie 

Mae Gates, 1995-98; Lois Keeland, 1970-71; and Rosalie 

Cochran, 2002-04. 

Angeline Boldt, Lucille 

Cockrell, Ida Holder,

Hughes, Jewel Koepp, 

Esther Linne, Amelia Lenz, 

Edna Markgraf, Pauline 

Mattke, Geraline Neese, 

Janie Nicholson, Ruby 

Pierdolla, Ottilie Reams, 

Alice Scull, Pearl Shriber, 

Lydia Tewes, Gertrude 

Toney, Anona Vorpahl, and 

Leona Vorpahl. 

Due to the fact that a 

number of ladies in this 

group were employed, the 

possibility of forming a 

second club to meet in the 

evening was discussed and 

approved. The new evening 

club was named “Town and 

Country” Garden Club. 

The following statement 

appeared in the local newspaper 

in May 1964: “Garden 

Club work is such worthwhile 

work, even though it 

takes a lot of planning to get 

it done. La Vernia will one 

day be grateful to these two 

clubs for the effort, time, 

and labor they must put out 

for the cause.” 

There have been many 

worthwhile projects sponsored 

by the garden club in 

the past 46 years. Many of 

the live oak trees and crape 

myrtles around La Vernia 

were planted by garden club 

members in 1960, 1970, and 

1980. 

Note cards depicting 

historical sites in La Vernia 

were compiled and sold 

in 1996. The garden club 

helped to defray the cost 

of the Thomas Applewhite 

Homestead marker at the 

Finch Funeral Home in 

1996. A donation was made 

to the La Vernia Elementary 

School Library in 1997 for 

books. 

A 40th-anniversary cookbook 

was published and sold 

in 2004, and $3,500 from 

the sale of the books was 

given to the Chamber of 

Commerce to help offset the 

cost of the “Welcome to La 

Vernia” signs. A beautiful 

quilt made by an appointed 

committee of the garden 

club in 2008 was sold to 

raise funds for community 

beautification. Joyce Beck, 

a professional quilter, was 

chairperson of that committee. 

In lieu of Christmas 

gifts, each member contributes 

$10 each year toward 

a monetary gift for the La 

Vernia Food Pantry. The 

club also planted trees in 

2009 at the new La Vernia 

Intermediate School valued 

at $2,900.

garden club’s March 4 

meeting, see separate article

don’t hear anyone whistling, 

singing, or humming 

a memorable tune of what 

is being produced. 

The latest song hits once 

were published in booklets, 

and the top 10 hits 

were featured in radio and 

TV programs. “Manhattan 

Merry-Go-Round” and 

“Hit Parade” are some of 

the programs I remember. 

I have a library of approximately 

300 movie 

videos. While some of 

them are living history 

tapes, most of them are of 

some of the best movie musicals 

ever made. Some of 

the best music is by such 

great composers as Jerome 

Kern, George Gershwin, 

Rodgers and Hart, Rodgers 

and Hammerstein, Sigmund 

Romberg, Bert Kalmar, 

Harry Ruby, and my favorite 

composers, Irving 

Berlin and Mexican composer 

Agustin Lara.
