Thief takes
cash collected
for ballparks
KERRV1LLE (AP) — A thief has
nabbed more than $20,000 in Little
League funds raised by the sale of
candy bars and raffle tickets, forcing
a halt in construction on two new
ballparks, police said.
Officials say the money was raised
by some 400 youngsters who sold
candy bars ana raffle tickets during
the past three years to build better
parks.
"We’re going to be doing good to
just get through the year," Kerrville
Little League President Yvonne Hel-
wig said. ‘‘It has been a real shocking
situation. Honesty is what we base
our organization on."
The Kerr County District Attor
ney’s office and Kerrville police are
investigating and say there is a sus
pect in the theft that apparently oc
curred over a three-year period, De
tective Joseph Lanning said.
“We do have a suspect in the
case,” Lanning told the San Antonio
Express-News, “but we don’t have an
accurate amount of money taken.
The auditor is not finished.”
Little League officials first became
aware of the missing building ac
count funds in February when presi
dent-elect Helwig asked for an audit.
“It’s in the president’s manual,”
Helwig said. “There is supposed to
be an annual audit done and it’s sup
posed to be sent to (state league
headquarters in) Waco.”
Helwig said it is unknown when
the last audit was done. After Helwig
asked for the audit, league board
members checked accounts and
were shocked by the findings.
“They had nothing in there even
close to what they thought they
had,” Lanning said, “and only a little
more than what is needed to cover
operating expenses for this year.”
In addition to the sale of candy
bars and raffle tickets by youngsters,
adult members sponsored a barbe
cue dinner and dance last year to
raise donations. Concession profits
also were supposed to have been de
posited in the building fund.
Last year, Kerr County leased the
group a tract of land on Texas 27 in
Kerrville to build the proposed ball
fields. Helwig said plans for the two
fields include an underground
sprinkler system, fences, lights and
parking lots.
Construction on one of the fields
began last month, but has since been
placed on hold by the league board.
“The board is considering floating
a loan to continue, but right now ev
erything is on hold,” Helwig said. “It
has stopped. We had to.”
