South African singer joins with Burnet gang in Old West train heist, shootout

BY DANIEL CLIFTON Picayune Editor

BURNET — When Tex Copsetta and his crew of Burnet Gunfighters organize a train robbery, they don’t mind dragging a major South African recording artist into the heist. “We just want to have a good time, and she wants to be a part of it,” said Copsetta, who plays the sheriff for the local nonprofit shoot-’em-up crew. “She” is Juanita Du Plessis. The multiplatinum-selling recording artist is touring the United States and making a trip from Nashville to Austin. See NONPROFIT / Page 3

Nonprofit Gunfighters raising funds for Crime Stoppers FROM PAGE 1 As part of her Austin visit, Juanita (as she goes by) will join the Austin Steam Association on its Hill Country Flyer run March 16 from Cedar Park to Burnet. This is the same route a crew of “train robbers” plans to hit. The entire event, including a gunfight between 1:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. at the Old Town in Burnet, is part of a fundraiser for the Burnet County Triad and the Hill Country Area Crime Stoppers. “The Burnet Gunfighters are holding the fundraiser for the two groups,” Copsetta said. “As a nonprofit ourselves, the organization holds these events throughout the year. We’ll help any group that asks, pretty much.” The March 16 event is at Old Town, located southeast of the intersection of East Jackson and South Boundary streets in Burnet, starting at 11 a.m. when Burnet County Precinct 2 Justice of the Peace Lisa Whitehead and her husband, Eddie, will serve up some of their renowned Frito chili pie. The Hill Country Flyer will arrive in Burnet about 11:30 a.m. The gunfighters will hop on the train in Cedar Park with the outlaws strong-arming passengers for money. During the trip, Copsetta and his deputies will confront the bad guys over the loot. “We’ll continue the gun fight at Old Town that afternoon,” Copsetta said. “Of course, there will be a shootout.” The loot, once recovered by the good guys, will go to Burnet County Triad and the Hill Country Area Crime Stoppers. The Triad organization provides medical-alert pendants for the area’s elderly, so if they have an emergency, they only need to press a button to trigger a call to the local 911 dispatch. Juanita’s role in the adventure includes being one of the saloon girls. “I don’t know if she really knows what to expect,” Copsetta said. “But, what we really want is people to turn out at the depot (on Jackson Street between South Boundary and South Silver streets) and give her a big, Texas welcome.”

Along with the events surrounding the train and gunfight, the Burnet FFA & 4-H Livestock Show Buying Committee is holding a petting zoo adjacent to Old Town. The funds raised from that will go toward purchasing animal projects during the 2014 Burnet County 4-H and FFA Livestock Show. While the Burnet Gunfighters perform shows at 1:30 p.m. Saturdays from January through May and September through November at Old Town, the organization works with other nonprofits and charity groups to hold fundraisers when asked.

“We have not turned anybody away who needed help,” Copsetta said. “We’re all about community service. We’re even authorized to issue community service hours for school and court-ordered community service programs.” The group also is open to new members, both men and women. There’s no cost to join, but gunfighters must provide their own firearms (single-action revolvers) and costumes. Copsetta said they don’t care if it’s a modern six-shooter or an antique. “We’re not that strict when it comes to costumes or the gun,” he said. “It just has to look Old West.” The key isn’t the costume though, he said, it’s a person’s attitude. “We just want you to have fun,” Copsetta said. “Whether you’re coming to a show or joining, it’s just a great time.” For more information, go to www. burnetgunfighters.org. daniel@thepicayune.com

TxDOT lays out March 17 implosion timeline BY JARED FIELDS Picayune Staff

MARBLE FALLS — Since the old U.S. 281 bridge’s closing Feb. 12, demolition crews have worked to remove everything from it except the steel truss, or frame, and the piers in the lake holding it up. Now the hours, minutes and seconds are winding down for the structure. The remaining time until the March 17 implosion leading up to the 8 a.m. detonation — weather permitting — has been planned in detail by the Texas Department of Transportation, Archer Western Contractors, Omega Demolition and Engineered Explosives Services.

The time of the implosion was set so officials could see during daylight hours but also so traffic would be at a minimum. To help ensure emergency services aren’t interrupted that morning, the city will stage one or two ambulances and fire trucks south of the bridge. While the use of explosives to demolish the bridge has raised concerns from citizens, officials have made assurances that the method is safe. TxDOT has received authorization from the Lower Colorado River Authority, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the City of Marble Falls for the demolition. Howard Lyons, a TxDOT engineer,

told citizens and the Marble Falls City Council on March 5 the new 10,000-ton bridge will not feel any effects from the implosion. “The forces we calculated are such that it’s very, very remote that a charge done properly is going to have any effect that the (new) bridge is going to feel at all,” Lyons said. “But we feel like the possibility (of damage) is so remote that if it was even in the probability of a lightning strike, we wouldn’t even be looking at this.” Officials also said buildings near the bridge on each side of the lake should not suffer any damage. Seismic monitors will be placed to survey the effects of the blast on nearby structures. The goal of the implosion is to use

explosives to make cuts in the steel to separate the frame into pieces that fall straight down into the lake. The frame then will be cut into smaller pieces that can be picked from the lake by large cranes and taken to a local recycling plant. TxDOT officials have said the process saves 60-90 construction days. The implosion countdown really picks up during the early morning hours of March 17. Once the explosives arrive at the structure a day or two before the implosion, they will be put in place and a guard will be at the structure on 24-hour surveillance. Boats will not be allowed within 1,000 feet of the bridge for four hours before the explosion. Traffic will be stopped and officials will ensure the site is safe before the blast. After detonation, inspectors will

inspect the pier by foot and by boat for any signs of structural damage. Officials said that should only take 10 minutes until traffic is again opened. “If we do find something, we won’t jeopardize anything to save 10 to 15 minutes,” TxDOT spokesperson Kelli Reyna said. “We would rather stop traffic for 30 minutes or an hour to check and make sure everything is OK. We will not take shortcuts.” Once the all-clear is given and traffic resumes on the new structure, officials said the metal should be removed from the lake within six days. Another blast to finish demolition of the two piers in the lake will be scheduled before April 8. In early April, construction of the southbound bridge is scheduled to begin. The entire project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2014.

T-shirts will be sold at the event to raise money for The Helping Center FROM PAGE 1 “We’re going to be below the pavilion on the grass giving people a front-row seat to the event,” said Cindi Ashford, a sales representative with KBEY 103.9 FM Radio Picayune. “This is truly a once-in-alifetime event, and we want people to come out and celebrate with us.” KBEY on-air hosts Ed Chandler and Kay Baker will be broadcasting live from the park. Te x a s D e p a r t m e n t o f Transportation officials said the implosion is tentatively scheduled for 8 a.m. Crews with Omega Demolition plan to drop the bridge into Lake Marble Falls. Construction workers already have removed the concrete deck from the bridge, leaving only the steel skeleton. Once the implosion is complete, crews will use cranes to retrieve the steel from the lake. Omega Demolition, general contractor Archer Western, the City of Marble Falls and the Marble Falls/ Lake LBJ Chamber of Commerce are title sponsors for the Big Bang Bridge Party. Ashford said the event commemorates not only the old bridge but the new structure and the people who have made it possible. “The workers have been doing a great job on the bridge project,” she

said. “We’re glad that they are a part of our community for the time that they are here.” TxDOT began plans on replacing the 77-year-old bridge several years ago. The new bridge will include two separate structures with one holding southbound traffic and the other handling northbound traffic. Traffic already has been rerouted to one of the new structures. Once the old bridge is destroyed, crews will begin building the second structure. Officials said they hope to have the new bridge completed in 2014. “We’re going to have lots of cool giveaways during the event,” Ashford said. People also can buy “Big Bang Bridge Party” T-shirts for $10. The proceeds will go to The Helping Center of Marble Falls. “The bridge has been a backdrop to our lives, and, for some, this is a bittersweet event,” Weems said. “For almost eight decades, the old bridge has welcomed us home, and this is our chance to say goodbye. It’s a new chapter in Marble Falls’ history, in the entire Highland Lakes’ history. We hope people will come out and be a part of it.” For the latest information on the implosion, tune in to KBEY 103.9 FM Radio Picayune or go to DailyTrib. com. daniel@thepicayune.com

Event includes experts, children’s activities, food booths and more FROM PAGE 1 give people lots of ideas.” The show is March 23 at the Burnet Community Center, 401 E. Jackson St. It’s open 9 a.m.-4 p.m. with free admission, though donations are appreciated. In the March 20 edition of The Picayune, readers will be able to find pages dedicated to the Hill Country Lawn and Garden Show. As Jenson pointed out, vendors and organizations set up booths throughout the community center. People will be able to browse retail businesses that cater to the greenthumb types. There also will be lots of opportunities to purchase plants

and garden-related items. The Master Gardeners will even provide a holding area where, if you purchase several items, you can place them there and return to the show for more shopping or information gathering. That way you don’t have to wander among the booths loaded down with plants and gadgets or leave before you have a chance to explore every booth. The service is free. The show features two speakers: Richard Ashton will discuss “Growing Fruit in the South,” while George Cates of the Native American Seed Co. in Junction will present “Creating Diverse, Drought Tolerant Native Outdoor Living Spaces.”

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS THE PICAYUNE?

“At the Master Gardeners booth, they will be giving demonstrations and discussions about rainwater collection, compost tea and sustainable gardening in the Texas heat,” Jenson said. “And, there will be Master Gardeners on hand to answer questions.” The Highland Lakes Master Gardeners also will have a children’s booth where young green thumbs can explore the world of gardening and plants. “We’ll have some hands-on activities for the children so they can plant seeds and other things,” Jenson said. “What we’re hoping with the children’s booth is we can tie it to the Burnet County Fair later this summer, so the kids will grow

some plants and then show them in the fair. We really want to encourage kids to get involved in gardening and plants.” Other local organizations setting up booths to help people with gardening and plant questions include the Highland Lakes Master Naturalists and the Highland Lakes Native Plant Society. L a s t y e a r, m o r e t h a n 2 5 exhibitors set up booths at the event. But as word spreads about the event, Jenson said it continues to attract more businesses and attendees. “It just keeps growing and growing,” she said. “People can come in the morning, hear one of the speakers, visit the booths, grab something

to eat at lunch, listen to the other speaker and keep looking around. They can make it an all-day affair or just pop in as they like.” And with food vendors on site, you don’t have to leave the event for a bite to eat. “The show is just a great way to come out and learn about gardening and just about anything related to gardening, lawns or producing your own food,” Jenson said. “And all the donations go back into community projects the (Highland Lakes) Master Gardeners are involved in.” For more information, go to www.yantislakesidegardens.com. daniel@thepicayune.com

Lawn and garden show gets top billing in Llano FROM STAFF REPORTS LLANO — If you’re looking for a place to exercise your green thumb, or develop it a little more, you need to check out the Llano Master Gardener’s 2013 Lawn and Garden Show on March 16. This year’s theme is “Grow Green … Water Wisely.” People will discover several sessions reflecting water conservation, including talks on native plants, drought management and xeriscape gardening.

“It has been profoundly rewarding to be able to offer diagnostic testing and specialized care for individuals in rural areas without them having to leave their community.”

Picayune Staff

MARBLE FALLS — Officials are making final preparations for the 2013 Student Angler Federation Texas High School Fishing State Championship on March 16. This is the first year the state tournament will be conducted on Lake LBJ; the state tournament returns next year, which was part of the agreement between the Marble Falls steering committee and the SAF. Bryan and Lorna Ellis, sponsors of the high school fishing club in Marble Falls, said the tournament will draw more than 50 boats. “Generally, each angler will have

with them three family members or friends that accompany them,” Bryan Ellis said. “So for every boat, you’re talking eight to nine people associated with that boat.” The event will be conducted at Lake LBJ and launched from the LBJ Yacht Club and Marina, 200 Wirtz Dam Road in Horseshoe Bay. Takeoff is at first light. The state champion advances to the FLW/TBF High School Fishing Conference Championship, and those winners move on to the 2013 High School Fishing World Finals. As a reward for the adult boat captains, the local club will hold a Captains Challenge on March 17 at Lake LBJ. jfierro@thepicayune.com

Smithwick sculptor creating towering archangel for Catholic school, church BY DANIEL CLIFTON

Smithwick artisan Dan Pogue works on a commission sculpture of the archangel St. Michael. The piece, which towers about 16 feet above the ground, will be placed in front of St. Michael’s Catholic Church and School in Houston this August. Pogue is renowned for his work with sculptures placed across Texas and the United States. He and his wife, Marti, own a gallery and foundry at 7670 RR 1431 East in Smithwick.

Picayune Editor

SMITHWICK — Dan Pogue is going big for his latest sculpture. So big it barely fits in his shop just east of Marble Falls. “Yeah, we had to cut the tips of his wings off so he would fit,” Pogue said as he craned his neck back to look up at the sculpture. “It’s one of the biggest I’ve done.” Last fall, St. Michael’s Catholic Church and School gave Pogue approval on a commissioned piece that will go in front of the Houston campus. The sculpture is of St. Michael, the namesake of the church and school. The archangel towers about 16 feet above the ground as he holds his shield in his left hand across his chest while grasping a sword about his head in his right hand. Though St. Michael was a known as a defender who fought against Satan to protect God’s people from evil, Pogue’s interpretation of the archangel combines his strength with compassion. Creating the 16-foot sculpture has consumed much of Pogue’s time since the church gave him approval last fall. He actually started the endeavor months before the approval when the church and school contacted him about doing a commissioned piece to go in front of the facility’s new educational campus. Inside his gallery, Pogue showed a smaller version of the St. Michael piece. At 18 inches, the model barely comes up to the larger sculpture’s ankle. But the model, Pogue explained, is how it all starts. “I make the model and then get the church’s approval,” the artist said. Once he received approval, Pogue began fashioning the full-size St. Michael out of styrofoam. That’s right, styrofoam. The lightweight material is easy to work with and forgiving.

COURTESY PHOTO

After completing the styrofoam St. Michael, Pogue covered it in a light cement coating. This isn’t the finished product, though. “No,” Pogue said with a grin. “There’s a lot of steps that go into the process before I have a finished piece.” He uses the styrofoam-cement St. Michael to create a rubber mold of the full-size model. Because of the size of this sculpture, he’ll probably do it in several pieces. The rubber mold will be used to make a wax replica of St. Michael’s pieces. Pogue will cover the wax molds in a ceramic coating. From there, he’ll melt the wax, leaving a hollow shell of St. Michael. Then Pogue’s son, Doug Pogue, who owns a foundry next to the gallery, will pour bronze into the ceramic shell. Once the material cools, the two

men will remove the ceramic shell to reveal the bronze St. Michael. “It’s quite a process,” Dan Pogue said. “But even after the casting, we still have a lot of work to do.” Pogue will smooth the texture, removing any burrs left in the casting process. Then, he will weld together the pieces, creating a complete bronze St. Michael. Once completed, Pogue will deliver the sculpture to St. Michael’s Church and School, where he will install it this summer. He has to have it done and installed by an August date because a Roman Catholic cardinal is coming to dedicate the new school and sculpture. “So, I think this is going to be a big deal,” Pogue said. “Thank goodness for the Catholic church, they love art. The religious art, it’s a blessing and a joy for me.”

The Picayune readers vote for ‘Locals Love Us' BY DANIEL CLIFTON Picayune Editor

MARBLE FALLS — The next several pages are dedicated to you, The Picayune readers. You took time out of your schedule to vote on your favorites around the community, from plumbers to school teachers. With those votes, The Picayune crew tallied up the winners of the 2013 “Locals Love Us” readers’ choice awards. Throughout these pages you will find advertisements, photos and stories celebrating the award winners. We see this as a true celebration of the community. When we visited with many of the winners, most said how important this honor was because it came from people

who chose them. While businesses and business people made up the bulk of the categories, we also highlighted nonprofit organizations, volunteers and community servants such as firefighters and police officers. When you chose the winners, you boosted their days. Highland Lakes Elementary School first-grade teacher Jessica Struchen admitted that when she found out about her honor as Marble Falls area Best Teacher, it made her day. “It surprised me because there

are so many great educators at Highland Lakes and in the Marble Falls (Independent School) District,” Struchen said. When we stopped by the Marble Falls/Lake LBJ Chamber of Commerce to present Jean Eades with her “Locals Love Us” Marble Falls-area “Best Volunteer,” she cried. Time and time again, winners told us how grateful they were to the readers for selecting them. We also broke categories down into areas. So readers in the Llano area could select from businesses and people they were familiar with as could Burnet and Marble Falls-area readers. After all, this is a big community, and we wanted to make sure everybody shared the spotlight.

‘It’s so exciting and surprising’ BY JENNIFER FIERRO Picayune Staff

Tune in to KBEY 103.9 FM Radio Picayune

BURNET — When Burnet Post Office worker Lupe Gutierrez was presented her “Locals Love Us” award, a giant smile spread over her face. And, even though this is the second year she earned the honor, Gutierrez said she doesn’t take it for granted. “It’s so exciting and surprising,” she said. “I never thought that they really entered the ballots.” To her, what makes Burnet citizens love her comes down to how she treats the people she serves. “I talk to everybody,” she said. “If they’re outside, I stop and say, ‘Hello, how are you?’” Gutierrez attends many of the citizens’ functions and always tries to keep a smile on her face. “She’s really personable,” said Burnet Acting Officer in Charge Janis Spears. “She takes care of her customers. She knows all of them. She holds their mail when they’re on vacation and delivers it when they come back.” And, because Gutierrez travels to the rural areas, if a customer isn’t home, she doesn’t leave a parcel. She leaves a message letting them know they have a parcel, Spears said. Gutierrez just celebrated 13 years as a member of the post office crew. And the most important task she performs for the crew? “Lupe comes in every morning and makes our coffee for us,” Spears said. jfierro@thepicayune.com

Marble Falls carrier loves delivering joy, meeting people BY JENNIFER FIERRO Picayune Staff

MARBLE FALLS — What makes a mail carrier a “Locals Love Us” winner for two consecutive years? “I’m somebody who’s proud of what they do,” Marble Falls postal worker Sal Castro said. “You get to see people smile, you get to meet new people.

Marble Falls Post Office carrier Sal Castro was chosen as The Picayune’s ‘Locals Love Us’ favorite Mail/Postal Service winner for the second straight year. STAFF PHOTO BY JENNIFER FIERRO because of the crew he works with, he said. “Anybody in this office could have won it,” Castro said. “It’s just my lucky day.” He has the same route, which is in south Marble Falls. That has helped him develop friendships with the people he serves. “Sometimes, we bring people joy,” the carrier said. “And, some-

times, we bring people sadness.” Castro has been working for the post office for 23 years. And, he doesn’t tire of the work. “They’re going to have to drag me out kicking and screaming,” he said with grin. “I’m just honored people took time out of their busy day to sign (the ballots) and send it in.” jfierro@thepicayune.com

Inks Lake State Park attracts campers from all over BY CONNIE SWINNEY Picayune Staff

BURNET — Whether it’s the views, the lake or the pink granite boulders that beckon hikers to climb, Inks Lake State Park continues to be a favorite place to camp among local residents as well as thousands of visitors from across the country. “Families have been coming here for four or five generations,” Park Ranger Chris Hall said. “Some of the programs we offer are canoe and kayaking tours,” he said. “We have an annual first-grader program, Junior Ranger programs, Fishing with the Ranger —

something for everybody, the entire family.” Burnet and Llano County residents voted the park the Best Campground in The Picayune’s “Locals Love Us” readers’ choice awards. Hundreds of camping sites at various levels are available, from water-access tent sites, recreational vehicle sites with water and electric hook-ups, cabins by the water and even primitive sites amidst miles of trails. The park also features shower facilities, a park store and hot food vendors. Park rangers said local residents don’t hesitate to take advantage of camping amenities in their own backyard.

“The various geological rock features draw people,” Hall said, “(as do) the friendly staff, the ease of checking in, the views, the lake and all of the various water activities.” Office manager Pam Major said the staff plays a part in setting the serene camping scene. “It’s more family-oriented. Everyone comes out with the kids. They want to go hiking, biking. We want to get them out into the park, enjoying the park,” Major said. “From the time the customer comes in, we try to make them feel welcome. We try to get them in and out, so everyone can enjoy their camping experience.” connie@thepicayune.com

BY DANIEL CLIFTON Picayune Editor

KINGSLAND — Describing business owner and volunteer Charlotte Dilworth as “energetic” would be like saying the universe is “big.” The word just fails at describing Dilworth, her accomplishments and community activism. But the readers of The Picayune definitely have noticed Dilworth’s energy and drive by honoring her with three direct “Locals Love Us” awards and one indirect honor. “I’m just so honored that people would vote for me,” Dilworth said. “I do what I do because I love the people and the community. It’s just an amazing place to live and work.” The Picayune readers chose Dilworth as “Locals Love Us” Volunteer for the Kingsland community for her work with the Kingsland Chamber of Commerce. As a chamber volunteer, one of Dilworth’s biggest tasks for 2012 was helping head up the annual Aquaboom. The event is Kingsland’s Fourth of July celebration that draws thousands of folks to the community. In fact, The Picayune readers named Aquaboom their “Locals Love Us” winner for Community Events. Chamber officials directed the award to Dilworth, saying she really was a major driving force behind Aquaboom’s success last year. Dilworth almost blushed when presented the honor for Aquaboom. “Oh, this is a true community event,” she said. “There are so many people who work so hard to make it a success. This honor goes to the entire community and chamber of commerce.” Readers also bestowed “Locals Love Us” honors to Dilworth for her work as a personal trainer and her business, Kingsland Health and Fitness. “Wow, is all I can say,” Dilworth said. “And, thank you, Kingsland. This is amazing.” daniel@thepicayune.com

MARBLE FALLS — Being the “Locals Love Us” winner for Marble Falls-area School Administration struck Mark Earwood as a surprise. “You can’t hear something like that without being thankful for someone to take the time to write your name,” said Earwood, who is the Faith Academy administrator. To anyone associated with the private Christian school east of Marble Falls, however, Earwood’s name coming up in such a discussion is far from a surprise. That’s because one can’t think of Faith Academy without Earwood. He’s been the administrator after serving as a football coach and starting as a government teacher when the private school was founded. “All those experiences were preparing me for where I am now,” he said. “The relational aspect of being a teacher, the motivational part of being a coach and then the total picture of how (the school) operates have all been beneficial.” Underneath those experiences that have helped develop Earwood for his role with the school is a man who values relationships. And that’s why Earwood feels he is the right fit for the people of Faith Academy. “When it’s all boiled down, what you remember are the relationships,” he said. “When I look back on and reflect on high school, I don’t remember the individual lessons; I remember the teachers and I remember the impact that the individuals had.” He hopes those life lessons, along with the lessons out of the textbooks, are what students take with them from the school. “I remember the conversations, and I remember the little nuggets of life lessons that came out of respect for that person,” Earwood said. “That’s what I hope the kids carry out of here.” jared@thepicayune.com

LAW ENFORCEMENT (Burnet)

Patrol captain extends long arm of the law to community

BY CONNIE SWINNEY Picayune Staff

BURNET — Coming from a small town, Burnet Police Department Patrol Capt. Jason Davis said he believes in strong partnerships among families, community and local law enforcement. “We’re trying to extend our arm to the community, let them know if they need us, they can call us for anything, and we’ll come out and help them out,” he said. The Burnet community recognized Davis’ work by selecting him for the “Locals Love Us” Burnet Law Enforcement honor. Davis, 30, is the supervisor of the patrol division. He oversees the officers and handles administrative duties. Originally from Blanco, his law-enforcement career in Burnet started with the Burnet County Jail. Nine years ago, he joined BPD as an officer. His wife, Kristen, works at the Burnet County Sheriff’s Office. They have a 2-year-old son. “(Burnet’s) a little bit bigger than Blanco. It’s a tight-knit community,” he said. “It’s a good place to raise a family, a great place to work.” He said programs such as National Night Out, during which families get to know local peace officers, plays an important role in binding the community together. “As the community has grown, we’re trying to grow with it. We’re trying to be more proactive and reach out more to the community, try to do more programs and activities,” he said. “It’s great to see the families come out. It gives them a chance to see the officers on a more personal level. It opens up the kids’ eyes that we can be good people.” Davis’ past recognitions include the Wallace Riddell Law Enforcement Officer of the Year Award by the Hill Country 100 Club and the Officer of the Year Award by the Burnet Chamber of Commerce. He credits the BPD staff as well as his philosophy about dealing with the public for his successes. “I try to be fair and consistent. Those are the two most important things,” Davis said. “We have a lot of great officers and great people who work here. So it makes it a fun place to come to work every day.” connie@thepicayune.com

‘I’d help wherever I was needed’ BY DANIEL CLIFTON Picayune Editor

LLANO — Llano Elementary Principal Annette Moresco is just filling in as the school district searches for a permanent administrator for the campus. But she brought the same passion and love to the position she showed for the many years she led Packsaddle Elementary in Kingsland. And, The Picayune readers noticed because they selected her as the favorite Llano Independent School District administrator. “That’s so wonderful,” Morseco said. “I feel humbled because I’m blessed to work with such great staff and students.” Moresco is no stranger to the district after spending many years as the principal at Packsaddle Elementary. After retiring from Packsaddle and education, Moresco looked forward to helping her husband in his art business. But when LISD Superintendent Dennis Hill called her last year about serving as interim principal for the Llano campus, she agreed. Moresco didn’t treat it as a temporary job but approached it with the same professionalism she would if it were a long-term position. When she “retires” at the end of this academic year, is Moresco finally done with education? She smiled at the thought before saying she would pick up the phone if Hill called again. “I’d help wherever I was needed,” she said. “I still love education. And, I still love the students and teachers.” daniel@thepicayune.com

Ex-MFISD student makes impact at Highland Lakes Elementary BY DANIEL CLIFTON Picayune Editor

GRANITE SHOALS — Highland Lakes Elementary School teacher Jessica Struchen knows Marble Falls Independent School District. After all, she grew up in it before graduating from high school and heading off to college. Four years ago, she returned to teach kindergarten and, then, first grade on the Highland Lakes Elementary School. Students and parents have already noticed her impact, so much so, they named her the “Locals Love Us” Marble Fallsarea Best School Teacher. “It really made my day when I found out,” Struchen said. “It surprised me because there are so many great educators at Highland Lakes and in the Marble Falls (Independent School) District. I’m just so grateful to the parents and people who voted for me.” Struchen started her education career four years ago at HLES as a kindergarten teacher. She taught kindergarten for three years before moving into the first-grade wing. As a teacher, especially one in the earlier grades, Struchen gets bombarded with questions. But

it’s something she finds endearing about the profession and the children. “I asked a lot of questions when I was a student, so I totally understand where the kids are coming from,” Struchen said. “I love hearing their questions.” daniel@thepicayune.com

It turned out to be the right decision. “I don’t know why I hadn’t done it sooner,” Crain said. “I love teaching.” For the past five years as a teacher, Crain said one of the best things is developing those relationships with her students and their parents. “I treat them all like they’re my family,” she said. daniel@thepicayune.com

CLUB/ ORGANIZATION

Marble Falls Noon Lions keep service at forefront BY DANIEL CLIFTON Picayune Editor

MARBLE FALLS — The Marble Falls Noon Lions Club prides itself on doing more than simply holding weekly meetings. The members love getting out and serving the local community. “That’s one of the reasons I am a member,” club officer Bud Lowry said. “During one of the first meetings I went to several years back, I remember the club president saying he needed something done and immediately 10 hands went up. I said then, ‘This is something I want to be a part of.’” The Marble Falls Noon Lions Club holds numerous events throughout the year such as a car show and Scout-A-Rama that generate funds. The club takes any funds it makes and puts it right back into the community. The Picayune readers noticed. They voted the Marble Falls Noon Lions Club as the “Locals Love Us” Best Club/Organization. Lowry said it was great to hear people loved what the Lions are doing. “Helping people and the community is something we love to do,” Lowry said. The club is part of Lions Club International, which allows members to have both a local, national and global impact. Following Hurricane Sandy, which ravaged much of the Northeast United States last fall, Lowry pointed out Lions Club International responded with volunteers, donations and funding. On a local level, the Marble Falls club lends a hand in several ways. Each fall, the group sponsors a coat drive to collect winter jackets for area children and adults who might otherwise not have one. Lowry said they coordinate a big part of the drive with Marble Falls High School. The club also collects eye glasses that the organization distributes to low-income residents and children who need them. Members also sponsor several special-needs children each year who attend a Lions Club summer camp. The underlying theme of the Lions Club, whether local or global, is simply helping. “Our whole club is here to help,” Lowry said. “Anytime there’s a problem, we’re going to be there to help solve it.” The Marble Falls Noon Lions Club meets every Tuesday at noon at Doc’s Fish Camp & Grill, 900 RR 1431 in Marble Falls. daniel@thepicayune.com

For Jean Eades, volunteering keeps community vibrant BY DANIEL CLIFTON Picayune Editor

VOLUNTEER (Marble Falls area)

MARBLE FALLS — Jean Eades works the phone every day at the Marble Falls/Lake LBJ Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center, trying to get groups, people and businesses to come to the Highland Lakes. As she thumbs through her calendar and yearly planner, she points out the events and groups coming to Marble Falls from triathlons to

Singles in Agriculture. Most of which are coming because of Eades and staff members’ work. While she’s a chamber employee, Eades often continues working for the many events Marble Falls hosts well past her job description. Take for instance the Texas Challenge bicycle ride associated with the Race Across America that came to town March 9. Sure, Eades helped coordinate hotel rooms and meals for the 100 or so cyclists while on the clock,

but she was up at 4 a.m. the day of the ride volunteering to ensure all went well. Before the ride even started, Eades met with emergency service crews, ride organizers and other volunteers — on her own time — to coordinate the event during which some cyclists headed out on 400mile jaunts. “Marble Falls is important to me,” Eades said when asked why she volunteers and goes above and

beyond her visitors center coordinator duties. “Marble Falls is part of my legacy. And I want it to remain vibrant and strong.” Her dedication to the community along with the countless extra hours she puts into Marble Falls caught the attention of The Picayune readers who named her “Locals Love Us” Best Volunteer for the Marble Falls area. “I started crying when I heard about it,” Eades said. “Volunteering is extremely important to me because it allows me to share my love for Marble Falls with others, especially with visitors. A lot of the people who come in for these events, it may be the first time they’ve ever been to Marble Falls. I want them to have a wonderful experience so they’ll not only come back, but maybe they’ll tell somebody else.” Those contacts often become leads for new people or organizations looking for a place to hold an event. So Eades gets back to working the phones. And you can bet when an event such as the upcoming HITS Triathlon (April 27) or Classic Buggy Blast (May 24-27) arrives in Marble Falls, Eades will be greeting visitors and volunteering to make sure they have a great time and the event is a success. Eades shrugged off the thought of the extra work her volunteering adds to her plate. “It’s just what I do,” she said. “I do want to thank everybody who voted for me. I was totally shocked.” daniel@thepicayune.com

BUCHANAN DAM — While Burnet artist Daniel Adams has his own gallery, the painter understands the importance and value of the Buchanan Arts and Crafts Gallery. “This is a place people can come and learn and demonstrate as well as exhibit their own work,” Adams said. Jill McAfee, who works with the gallery, agreed. “What’s so special and important about the gallery and the Buchanan Arts and Crafts Guild is it’s artists supporting other artists,” she said. “We even have a wonderful summer program for kids. It’s a place for artists of all levels and backgrounds.” The news that The Picayune readers selected the Buchanan Dam gallery as “Best Art Gallery” came as good news to McAfee and Adams. “I think it’s more important of an award because it’s something people voted on,” Adams said. “Plus, since it’s from the community, it shows they accept us and they think we’re doing outstanding work.” Buchanan Arts and Crafts is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The organization began in 1963 when Alma Howerts and several friends began painting in their homes. The group grew to the point that the artists took over a part of the Burnet County Courthouse. Eventually, in 1967, the group bought the building at its current location, 17534 Texas 29 East. It’s the oldest cooperative gallery in the United States. The gallery and guild continue to grow and foster local artists through regular workshops and programs. McAfee said having a gallery where local artists can show their work reminds the community about the value and importance of the arts. A big part of the gallery’s role is helping younger artists grow and develop. Adams said the gallery provides an annual scholarship to a local high school student who is going to study arts in college. The “Locals Love Us” award shows how important the gallery and organization is to the community, McAfee said. The gallery is open WednesdaySaturday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and Sunday, 1-5 p.m. For more information, go to www.buchananartsand crafts.org. daniel@thepicayune.com

MARBLE FALLS — It features more than 2 million lights and draws 40,000 people to Lakeside Park on Lake Marble Falls, so it’s no wonder The Picayune readers voted Walkway of Lights their Best Community Event for “Locals Love Us.” “It’s a 20-plus year tradition,” said Marble Falls/Lake LBJ Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Bill Rives. “That not only means it has endeared itself to our local community as part of what we’re about, but the neat thing is to go and see the people who have travelled from other parts of Texas who say this is what we do for every holiday season.” For 22 years, Walkway of Lights has brought visitors from across Texas, the United States and even the world to Marble Falls to see the display of lights at Lakeside Park. Children who were brought to the park have grown up and now bring their children as their holiday tradition, Rives said. “Something like that has such a resonance, not only in our community, but throughout the state,” he said. Hundreds of volunteers help each year with the holiday undertaking. Last year’s Walkway of Lights expanded to cover more of Lakeside Park and featured a concession trailer that benefited local nonprofit groups. Rives said a dozen groups were able to raise a total of $16,000 from Walkway of Lights. “It’s not only a great draw for the community and continues the tradition, but it’s one more thing Marble Falls can be proud of,” Rives said. jared@thepicayune.com

MARBLE FALLS — The “Locals Love Us” award for Best Art Gallery is a giant honor for the Highland Arts Gallery, according to board members of the Highland Arts Guild. “It’s the first time we’ve gotten this honor,” President Jan Hulen said. “That’s why we were surprised and thrilled. I do believe it’s because we are such a small gallery and, as inexpensive as our paintings are, is why we were selected.” The pieces in the gallery, which is run by the Highland Arts Guild, are made by local artists, and they include works on canvas, glass and even pieces of granite. “We have some beautiful art here,” the president said. “We have really come along in the last several years.” The guild was founded in 1971 and opened a gallery in 1990. The gallery moved to its current location of 318 Main St. in 1991. While the guild would exist without a gallery, having a place to display artwork goes beyond what artists sell their pieces for, Hulen said. “It’s an affirmation more than

and buying art at affordable prices,” she said. “And it’s good art.” Second Vice President Rhoni Harris said the organization gives lessons, demonstrations, children’s classes and workshops. “We want to promote the arts in the community,” she said. jfierro@thepicayune.com

BURNET — Despite 29 years of Bluebonnet Festival activities, the Burnet Chamber of Commerce staff and cadre of volunteers doesn’t rest on their floral laurels when it comes to the annual spring event. “We’re always looking to make it bigger and better but still keep that small-town charm, which makes it so special,” said Burnet Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Kim Winkler. “Everybody in the community gets involved in the Bluebonnet Festival, which is a big reason it stays so vibrant.” The 2013 event marks the 30th anniversary of the Bluebonnet Festival. It runs April 12-14 this year with a schedule packed with fun events. “It does have something for everybody,” Winkler said. Which might be one of the reasons The Picayune readers selected the Bluebonnet Festival as the “Locals Love Us” Best Community Event for Burnet. “That’s exciting when it’s the people who are the ones who chose the Bluebonnet Festival,” Winkler said. “It means a lot to us that people took the time to vote for the festival.” The Bluebonnet Festival stretches out over several days and across much of Burnet. While the Historic Downtown Square serves as the epicenter for the event, people can find things to do from the Burnet municipal airport to First Lutheran Church. The festival attracts thousands of people, both local and visitors, to Burnet. Many have been coming back year after year, while for some, this 30th annual one might be their

first. Whichever the case, organizers and volunteers want to make the Bluebonnet Festival something people remember and talk about for the other 51 weeks of the year. Part of keeping the Bluebonnet Festival exciting for returnees and newcomers comes down to adding new events and tweaking others. “We do look for things to add, but, at the same time, we don’t want to change the essence of what makes the Bluebonnet Festival so special,” Winkler said. “One of the things we’ve been able to do over the years is expand the entertainment and musical lineups. And we probably have one of the best pet parades around.” It’s also a good bet the Bluebonnet

Festival Grand Parade, 11 a.m. April 13, is one of the largest parades in Central Texas, if not the entire state. People arrive early to secure a spot on the parade route. Plus, name one other event in Texas where you can enjoy a pet parade, a bicycling-decorating contest, vintage World War II airplanes, a train, gunfighters, a carnival, a destruction derby and a dog-house race in three days? Yeah, probably none. The Burnet Bluebonnet Festival packs in all of that and much more in three days.
