The University of Texas Golf Club has had $25,000 worth of golf balls stolen over the past two years, and is now hoping the public can help solve the case through recently obtained photos of the crimes in action.
“There have been seven different occasions (where golf balls have been stolen) in the past two years” said Steve Termeer, general manager and chief operating officer at UT Golf Club.
Santa was not the only noteworthy Christmas figure to make an appearance at Austin Baptist Church’s “Christmas at Four Points”. The Grinch, Frosty the Snowman and Mrs. Claus were part of celebration Dec. 8 and 9. The event also included the ABC sanctuary choir and orchestra, dancing toy soldiers from Christian Youth Theater, and “The Little Drummer Boy” performed by the Vandegrift drumline. The Christmas story of Jesus with Mary, Joseph, angels, shepherds and wise men was the grand finale of the event.
The Grinch even got a role at the Austin Baptist Church “Christmas at Four Points” event while Matt Gillum, minister to students and their families, and his wife Adrian were part of a skit. LINDA SHEPPARD

Maria Krychniak — 2015 Vandegrift graduate and future 2019 University of Texas graduate from Steiner Ranch — plans to bike more than 4,000 miles from Austin to Anchorage, Ala. this coming summer as part of Texas 4000 for Cancer.
“This might seem like something crazy to do, but this cause is incredibly important to me,” Krychniak said.
“I have witnessed myself feel helpless and hopeless when it comes to comforting some of my best friends and family members left in cancer’s destructive wake,” she said.
