Lakefest always a favorite with fans and racers BY DANIEL CLIFTON Picayune Editor

Burnet teacher, ex-coach lining his life back up after bad injury BY JENNIFER FIERRO Picayune Staff

BURNET — To Nate Turner, an ideal life is like a Rubik’s Cube with all sides perfectly lined up. The Burnet Middle School teacher and former football and baseball coach was living that life until Aug. 26, 2012.

Andy Doerfler, who owns Bella Vista Bed and Breakfast, located east of Marble Falls, volunteers to harvest grapes Aug. 1 at Flat Creek Estate Vineyard and Winery. Doerfler says he often recommends area wineries for his guests to visit and took the time to get a first-hand perspective on the harvest. STAFF PHOTO BY JARED FIELDS

It’s harvest time for vineyards across the Highland Lakes as the wine industry continues to pour money into local economies BY JARED FIELDS TURNER At a family gathering at his home, Turner was performing a backflip into Lake LBJ from a platform using a cable tied onto a tree branch.

MARBLE FALLS — The sweet smell of ripe Muscat blanc grapes on the vine fills the air as the sun rises at Flat Creek Estate Vineyard and Winery. It’s harvest season at the winery, located about 25 miles east of Marble Falls, and other vineyards in the area.

See TURNER / Page 4

About 30 volunteers and paid help spent the morning of Aug. 1 picking 4½ tons of the grape. The grapes go from the field to the wine-maker, who de-stems, presses, chills and ferments them until wine is ready to be bottled early next year. “That slow fermentation preserves all the pretty aromatics in the grapes that we’ve See LOCAL / Page 6

Buchanan Dam artist still uses personal touch for his creations BY CONNIE SWINNEY Picayune Staff

BUCHANAN DAM — For 61-year-old Daniel Adams, the painstaking process of capturing the detail, color or contrast in etchings, oil paintings, watercolors, sculptures or metalsmithing results in images that inspire “healing and compassion.” “When you hold an original work, there is a different feeling you get from something that was digitally reproduced or done by the numbers,” he said. “You know the difference.” Adams recently moved his gal-

lery, Daniel Adams Fine Art, from Burnet to Buchanan Dam to make room for his business and collection that features nature themes, portraits and other art ventures. The gallery is located at 17617 Texas 29 East. “It’s a much bigger space, more open,” he said. “It’s much more creative out here, so I can do more things.” The gallery can hardly contain his work, which showcases pieces he describes as a culmination of his talent, experience, education, training and dedication to a “lost art.” See ARTIST / Page 7

Lakefest racer dedicates season to slain Navy SEAL and family BY DANIEL CLIFTON Picayune Editor

MARBLE FALLS — Even though six-time World Champion drag-boat racer Marty Logan never met former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, he knew he had to do something for the man’s family. So Logan named his 2013 season as the Chris Kyle Tribute Tour and will dedicate all the winnings and proceeds to the slain Navy SEAL’s family. The next stop on the tour is the 2013 Marble Falls Lakefest on Aug. 9-11. Kyle’s wife, Taya, also will make an appearance and sign books at Lakefest on Aug. 11 at about 1 p.m. Kyle, a Navy SEAL with the most confirmed sniper kills in U.S. history, was killed earlier this year along with another man as they attempted to help a former Marine struggling with adjustments to life outside the military. Kyle, 38, and Logan shared the same hometown of Midlothian. Logan recalled going to pay tribute to Kyle as his body was transported from Midlothian to the Texas State Cemetery in Austin after the SEAL’s funeral service. As he stood there and watched the outpouring of support from the community, the state and the nation, Logan felt overwhelmed. “I went home and told my wife, ‘We need to do something for this man’s family,’” he said. So Logan came up with the tour and set a goal of raising $100,000 by the end of the year to give to Kyle’s

family, which includes Taya and two children. Logan said he’s raised about $40,000 so far but feels a little behind after two recent races were cancelled because of weather. Fans can stop by Logan’s pit during Lakefest to purchase items, including hats, T-shirts and Kyle’s two books, “American Sniper” and “American Gun.” The second book is a look at 10 guns that made some of the most significant impacts in American history. But Kyle had only written about eight of them when he died. Logan said Kyle’s wife completed the book. “And she’ll be (at Lakefest) on (Aug. 11) about 1 p.m.,” he said. “She’s going to be signing books over at the Lucas VIP tent. She’s an amazingly strong woman with all she’s been through.” As the tour rolls along, Logan said

he’s always looking for more sponsors. “If there are businesses or people in Marble Falls who want to help out, they can sponsor us, and we’ll put their decal on the boat,” he said. “And every dollar they spend goes to Chris’ family.” People can contact Logan by emailing him at WorldChampUO@ yahoo.com or either calling or texting him at (214) 213-3718. Those not able to attend Lakefest still can purchase items to support Kyle’s family through Logan’s website at www.martylogan.com by clicking on the link at the top of the page, “Official online 2013 Chris Kyle Tribute Tour Site.” “This is just the right thing to do,” Logan said. daniel@thepicayune.com

Lakefest starts with Test and Tune FROM PAGE 1 7.99 seconds, you may be the faster of the two boats, but you lose if the other boat stayed in the bracket.” Speed is essential, but getting as close to the minimum time in a racer’s bracket means drag-boat racing requires quite a bit of skill. “I’d say most races are won or lost at the start,” Dulin said. “If you get a good start, that really sets how the race goes.” Dulin will be one of the more than 130-plus anticipated racers competing in the 22nd annual event Aug. 9-11 on Lake Marble Falls. The race draws competitors from across Texas and other parts of the country. “We’ve had a few races cancelled this year due to weather, so that could mean Marble Falls gets even more racers,” he said. While Lakefest gives competitors a place to race, win and earn points, it’s also a great venue for the fans. “For the spectators, Marble Falls is a great place to watch a race,” Dulin said. “Lakeside Park (on Buena Vista Drive) has the sloping hill that gives everybody a great view of the course.” Another unique attraction at Marble Falls is the open pit area. Dulin said, in most races across the country, entry to the pits is limited or requires an admission fee. The Lakefest boats pit in Johnson Park, 230 Ave. J South, open to the public at no cost. Marble Falls/Lake LBJ Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Bill Rives said the open pit area gives fans a great chance to get a look at the boats and meet the crews. “I was blown away last year when

I walked through there,” Rives said. “The crews and racers are just so incredibly welcoming. They are just some great folks and really appreciate the fans.” Lakefest starts Aug. 9 with the Test and Tune. This is when racers adjust their boats for lake and racing conditions. Gates open at 7 a.m. Tickets for Test and Tune are $5 for all ages. At 7 p.m. Aug. 9 in Johnson Park, racers and fans can enjoy a free concert by Texas KGB. It’s also the start of one of the race’s most popular events: Show and Shine. During Show and Shine, crews get the boats cleaned up and on display. Around dusk, some of the crews fire up their boats to provide quite a show. Check in with Ed Chandler of KBEY 103.9 FM Radio Picayune in the pit area 5-7 p.m. Aug. 9. Qualifying races are Aug. 10. The gates open at 7 a.m. with racing starting at 8 a.m. Tickets for the qualifying races are $20 for ages 13 and older and $5 for ages 6-12. Stop by the KBEY 103.9 FM Radio Picayune tent from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. On-air personalities Kay Baker and Ben Shields will be visiting with spectators. There is another free concert at 8 p.m. in Johnson Park after the qualifying races that features Allen Ray and the Southern Comfort Band. The finals are Aug. 11 with gates opening at 7 a.m. and racing beginning at noon. Tickets are $20 for ages 13 and older and $5 for ages 6-12. Three-day passes are available for $40 for ages 13 and older and $15 for ages 6-12. Go to www.marblefallslakefest. com for more information or tickets. daniel@thepicayune.com

“I never even knew the cable had come undone,” he added. “I never even knew I was falling until I hit the ground.” Turner was told he would spend about two months in hospitals. He stayed for five weeks. He was told he would be able to walk with a cane in six months. He did it in five weeks. “I’m considered a miracle,” he said. “I’m a Christian. I have lots of faith. That has everything to do with it.”

Burnet Middle School teacher and former coach Nate Turner (sitting, left), his wife, Emily, and their son, Trevor.

A DREAM CHANGES

Turner comes from a long line of family members in the field of teaching. After graduating from Brazoswood High School in 1993, his mother, Deb, signed him up for several education classes, believing he would continue in the family “business.” Instead, Turner decided to major in law enforcement with the goal of working for the Secret Service. He was a patrol officer for the Lake Jackson Police Department from January 1998 to June 2001. In September 2001, he became a counterintelligence special agent for the U.S. Army and spent nine-and-a-half months in Iraq. But he was accidentally shot in the hand during a training exercise in El Paso. That injury ended his dream of a career in law enforcement. Once he was discharged from the Army, Turner, his wife, Emily, and son, Trevor, moved to the Highland Lakes to be closer to Turner’s parents. The couple found a house on Lake LBJ in Kingsland. Buying a lakehouse was Turner’s dream because he loved fishing and boating. He and his wife used the home as a vacation rental during the summer. But last summer, there was a late cancellation for the weekend before school began. So Turner invited extended family over for one final summer outing and to celebrate the birthdays of his wife and mother. Trevor and a buddy were on the lake on the family’s personal watercraft but had returned to the shore. One of Turner’s sisters and her family were there. And all eyes, except his wife’s, were on Turner, who was standing on the platform and pulling back the cable for his flip. Trevor said he had one thought as he realized what was happening to his dad. “Oh, my God. When he was on the ground in pain, we tried to move him. He couldn’t do it.”

KEEPING THE FAITH

Turner spent two weeks at University Medical Center Brackenridge-Seton, where he had two surgeries. The first was to clean up the bone from the L-1

vertebrae that was shattered and to relieve pressure off his spine. He was given steroids for swelling. Doctors told Turner’s family he might never walk again. He remembers waking up and feeling his mother touch his left foot, and that it hurt. The next day, he moved his legs a little. The second surgery was to get bone from his hip to replace the L-1 vertebrae and add bars and screws. He was given a vest instead of a body cast and was told to sit in a chair for 30-60 minutes. Turner said he was in excruciating pain the entire time. He was transported to St. David’s Medical Center, where he spent three weeks. The first Monday he was there, he went to a physical therapy session. He talked to his therapists for awhile, and, then, they asked him if he was ready to stand up. He grabbed onto the back of a chair and stood for 10 seconds. The St. David’s staff was blown away. Patients weren’t supposed to be able to stand two weeks after having the injury Turner had. But Turner didn’t see it as an accomplishment. “At that moment, reality sunk in,” he said. “It took all the energy and effort I had. Would I be a paraplegic? I’m an athlete who’s no longer an athlete.” And he fell into a depression. “I cried like a baby for maybe two minutes,” he said. “I lost it. My wife held me.” When the couple reached his room, Emily Turner counted their blessings and told her husband she could see God’s hand in what was happening. At that point, he said he readjusted his attitude. When he returned for the afternoon session, Turner stood four more times and increased the length of time he kept standing.

“I was going to push myself like every other athlete does who wants to be successful,” he said. “I had no idea nobody thought I’d be able to stand up. Ten seconds was so upsetting to me. The fact I was on my feet was a victory for everybody else.” Turner did his physical therapy at Seton-Highland Lakes. And through it all, he kept his faith and re-read Philippians 2:1-11 and clung to Verse 5: “Make your own attitude that of Christ Jesus.” Turner returned to Burnet Middle School and spoke during a pep rally last year. He wheeled himself into the gym and stood up saying, “I bet you didn’t expect that.” The students gave him a standing ovation. The following week, he was the speaker for a Burnet High School pep rally. He walked into the gym and pulled out a Rubik’s Cube, a prop he uses in his classroom, that had all the same colors on each side. “This is what we want our lives to look like,” he said. Then, he gave a former student, Rebecca Patterson, a Rubik’s Cube that was not complete. By the time he finished talking, Patterson had matched up all sides with the same colors.

STILL RECOVERING

Eleven months later, Turner can do a lot of everyday activities. He can walk and play golf, carry boxes, clean the house and dress himself. But he can’t stand on his tip-toes, can’t walk for a long period of time, and can’t run. That’s one of the reasons why he’s not coaching during the 2013-2014 school year. “I’ve got a slight limp still,” he said. “My feet are one of my main obstacles.” His body’s challenge has more to do with nerves than muscle. He still doesn’t have feeling in some of his toes. He has a therapy dog, Nala, that he plays fetch with and that forces him to walk. He swims at GallowayHammond Recreation Center and gets on his toes and does leg exercises. His wife checks his feet every day and applies lotion when needed. His son said he’s taken on more responsibility around the house. The two built a backyard pen for Nala. “He’s a lot stronger and a lot tougher,” Trevor said. “He never stops anything. He doesn’t stop because of the pain. He was always an athlete. I thought he’d recover fast but not this fast.” “Why did this happen to me?” Turner asked. “I’m strong enough in my faith to be able to handle it. (God has) been preparing me for this situation. Everything I’ve done my entire life is about not quitting. It’s been God’s plan for me. He’s not done.” jfierro@thepicayune.com

Local wineries are popular with tourists FROM PAGE 1 worked so hard to get in there,” wine-maker Tim Drake said. This year’s harvest is later than most years because of a late freeze early in the growing season. “In a typical year, we get bud break in mid-March and harvest mid-July to August,” said Amanda Koraska, director of business operations at Flat Creek Estate. “We had a frost, lost some fruit, and it slowed down growth of the rest of the fruit.” Despite the later harvest, Koraska said the winery still expects to produce about 8,000 cases of wine from grapes harvested on site and purchased from other growers. From Tow to Cypress Mill and Spicewood to Burnet, the Highland Lakes are busy July and August harvesting a variety of grapes. Tourists come to the area to visit the wineries year-round, but volunteering for a morning of labor doesn’t deter them, either. “The second most frequently askedfor wine region in the U.S. was the Texas Hill Country,” said Bill Rives, executive director of the Marble Falls/ Lake LBJ Chamber of Commerce. “That translates into some tourism.” According to the Texas Wine & Grape Growers Association, the Texas wine and grape industry pumped $1.8 billion into the economy in 2011. “The wineries clustered around Marble Falls are some of the best in the state, if not the Southwest,” Rives said. “Just about every one of them has won some kind of national recognition.” Harvests and grape stomps continue in August at area wineries.

Artist once managed art department at Disney World FROM PAGE 1 “Technology — working from a computer — is separating the artist from the work. It’s like a copy of a copy,” he said. “In artwork created by hand, the energy of the artist is transposed.” Adams, a former student of Disney University in Florida, managed the art department of hundreds of artists at Disney World and worked at the Orlando theme park for 17 years before retiring to the Highland Lakes. During his time at Disney, he earned the title “Fastest Draw in the East” for his work with caricatures,

including personal sittings with former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, world-renowned violinist Guy Lombardo and guitar virtuoso Jose Feliciano. His work at Disney included life-size sculptures of wild animals and even an animatronic dinosaur at Epcot Center. Adams also designed the art for license plates in Florida to commemorate the space shuttle Challenger disaster on Jan. 28, 1986. His design raised $50 million for a nonprofit group to fund the Kennedy Space Center Challenger Memorial at Cape Canaveral. He and his wife, Carol, a retired

Inks Lake State Park ranger and naturalist, manage the gallery together. The Adams have nurtured a following among area residents and within art circles, inspiring him to launch the latest project of so-called “Land Art” for commercial and residential clients. “Nobody is doing this in this area. We feel like we’re making a grand introduction to this whole concept of having beautiful art outdoors,” Carol Adams said. “(The pieces are) colorful, bright, cheerful.” Land Art displays are for gardens, patios and other outdoor-room spaces. “Everything is weather-resistant, fade-resistant, stainless-steel tacks,

PVC,” she said. “The back side is double-sided vinyl.” Each piece is either an original design or inspired by existing oil or watercolor works, Daniel Adams said. Whether indoors or outdoors, Adams is bound by an innate desire to use his talent to create and share beauty. “When other kids had lemonade

stands, I had an art stand. I remember drawing this man’s wife. He just reached into his pocket and pulled out a lot of change and gave it to me,” he said. “I wanted to be an artist so long ago. I can’t remember ever being without inspiration.” Go to www.1adams.com or email adamsfineart@yahoo.com for more about Daniel Adams Fine Art. connie@thepicayune.com

Benefit golf tournament to help MFHS graduate battling rare form of cancer BY DANIEL CLIFTON Picayune Editor

MARBLE FALLS — Fourteen years ago, Mike Ripple underwent the first treatments for a rare form of cancer that statistically only gave him five more years of life. “He’s been beating it,” said friend and former classmate Coy Guenter. Ripple graduated from Marble Falls High School in 1987. Doctors diagnosed Ripple with hemangiopericytoma, a rare form of cancer that Ripple said effects maybe one in six million people. The cancer forms small nodules on the brain stem that can grow together and travel down the spinal column. Ripple has been undergoing treatment for several years. “He just had some more surgery last year,” Guenter said. “But because of the surgery and cancer, he hasn’t been able to work since September.” Several of Ripple’s friends and classmate, including Guenter, Steve Rogers and Mike Thelen, began

thinking about ways to help their classmate. Guenter said one logical idea was to do something in conjunction with the Marble Falls High School mega-reunion scheduled for Aug. 17. “We thought, ‘Hey, let’s hold a golf tournament,’” Guenter said. “It just made sense.” The Mike Ripple Benefit Golf Tournament is set for 10 a.m. Aug. 17 at the Hidden Falls Golf Club, 220 Meadowlakes Drive in Meadowlakes. The four-person scramble is $50 per person. People can sign up as a team or as individuals and be assigned a team. Guenter said, along with golfers, organizers also are seeking hole sponsors. The sponsorships are $100. “We just want to raise some money so we can provide (Ripple’s) family with enough to take care of themselves,” Guenter said. For more information on the tournament or to sponsor a hole, call Thelen at (830) 693-3394. Players or sponsors also can mail

Maryland about 300 years ago. Along they way, she met distant relatives such as Daniel Boone and Benjamin Franklin. “It was amazing because we always thought my father’s family came to this country in the 1800s, but they actually settled here from almost the beginning (of the country),” she said. “Genealogy research is so exciting because it opens so many doors.” But getting started or knowing where to go for information and what to do with it can be a bit overwhelming. The Kingsland Genealogical Society holds monthly meetings 2 p.m. the second Tuesday of the month at the Kingsland Branch Library, 125 W. Polk St. in Kingsland. It’s a great place to start, but sometimes it’s more helpful to get a boost from an internationally recognized expert in genealogy. On Aug. 24, at the Marble Falls Church of Christ, 711 Broadway, the Kingsland Genealogical Society is doing just that when it brings in Lloyd de Witt Bockstruck for a genealogical seminar from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. “He has just about every designation you can get in genealogy,” Shaw said. Bockstruck, a senior ranking faculty member at the Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research at Samford University in Alabama, retired in 2010 from the Dallas Public Library, where he served as manager of the genealogy section. “He retired from the library,” Shaw said, “but he didn’t retire from genealogy.” Bockstruck will bring years of experience and knowledge to the seminar. While there are many great resources on the Internet nowadays, Shaw said those only take you so far and real research comes down to looking at the actual records in the states or the communities where your family lived. Those records, however, can be hard to understand. That’s where experts such as Bockstruck can help. “He’s going to talk about the early American migration routes and many other topics,” Shaw said. “He’ll discuss where to find information, how to find it and what to do with it.” His knowledge of the early American migrations, settlements and behaviors and traditions during

those times can really help family researches connect the dots. The journey through one’s family history can be difficult, as people move, names change and information seems to disappear. But as the mystery deepens, so do the rewards. Shaw said tracing family roots based on names can get confusing. “For instance, if a family started in New York and ended up in Texas, that name may be totally different simply because of the different dialects or how people pronounced it,” she said. “It’s like when you were in school and you played the game where the teacher whispered something in one child’s ear and then it went from one to the other. “By the time it went through 20 people, the message wasn’t anything like when it started,” Shaw said. Even if you find information at a courthouse or somewhere else, it might not be as it appears because of laws, community mores and traditions at the time. So a bit of guidance or knowledge about the era helps, Shaw said. “Then, you just keep digging and digging, and one thing leads to another,” she said. “And what makes it so interesting is it’s your relatives.” The cost of the seminar is $30 per person and includes a light lunch. Officials recommend registering in advance because of limited seating. People can pick up registration forms at the Marble Falls Visitors Center, 100 Ave. G, or from a Kingsland Genealogical Society member.

Camp of the Hills gives dramatic retelling of Jesus’ last hours BY DANIEL CLIFTON Picayune Editor

SMITHWICK — When most youth camps begin to wind down, the kids and counselors take a celebratory approach with songs, fun and food. While youth and counselors at Camp of the Hills enjoy the same, they also take a journey through a part of one of the world’s most venerable stories. Each Thursday evening during camp, the youth see how Jesus lived his final days on Earth. “It really helps drive the message home about what this entire week is about,” said Michael Thames, the camp’s development director. Camp of the Hills, 1552 CR 344, started about 22 years ago to allow at-risk kids or those from low-income families experience summer camp. The camp relies on donations and volunteers to provide the services and unique experiences for campers ages 8-18. The youth, many who come from inner cities, enjoy all the typical camping experiences such as swimming, canoeing, skits, singing and sports. But each Thursday evening after dinner, the staff takes them on a walk that’s far from fun and frivolity. “You guys are going to witness a story, not a full story, but a very important part,” counselor Vince Green told the youth gathered on the floor in front of him in the dining facility Aug. 1. “It’s the last few hours of Jesus’ life. And the best way you can get prepared (for the story) is by preparing our own hearts.” Green held one hand up in a fist and the other palm open. Then, he explained how the fist is hard and unchangeable, while the open palm is soft and can bend and change. “If your heart is like (a fist) and this sweet, awesome, tender story is like (an open hand), then the story isn’t going to do anything to your heart,” Green continued. “But if you open your hand, they mesh together. So you have to have a soft heart to listen to this story.” The crowd walked down a path to a rock structure where several

counselors portrayed Jesus and his disciples during the Last Supper. Then, the story unfolded. At various stations along the camp property, the counselors acted out Jesus’ last hours. Not always easy to watch, the Roman guards (played by counselors) at one point lashed out at Jesus (portrayed by counselor Luke Dotson), knocking him to the ground. “We want the kids to see just how much Jesus loves them and what he went through for them,” Thames said after the re-enactment. The group followed along as the priests and guards took Jesus before Pontius Pilate. During the drama, Pontius Pilate told the spectators he could find no fault in Jesus but gave them the choice between freeing Jesus or the criminal Barrabas. The crowd chanted, “Barrabas, Barrabas, free Barrabas.” With that, the guards pushed Jesus on. The re-enactors and spectators moved to a dirt road between the camp’s pond and swimming hole. The youth watched as the guards taunted and mocked Jesus as he carried his cross, falling several times along they way. The drama ended as the campers gathered in seats below a steep hill. On top of the hill, two men hung from a cross. Then, the cries of Jesus rang out as the guards “nailed” him to his cross and hoisted it up. After Jesus’ death, two men carried his body, placed it in a tomb located halfway down the hill and rolled a rock in front of it. The drama ended there as the campers and counselors dispersed back to their cabins. Thames assured the visitors the lesson, however, wouldn’t. “They’ll go back to their cabins and talk about Jesus and what they’ve seen tonight,” he said. “Then, they’ll get up in the morning to a resurrection program. Tonight was an opportunity to show them a part of Jesus’ story and what he did for all of us.” Go to www.campofthehills.org for more information about Camp of the Hills. daniel@thepicayune.com

Camp of the Hills counselors tell the story of Jesus’ last hours during a dramatic program each Thursday while camp is in session. The Aug. 1 program was the last of the summer. The counselors who re-enacted the last hours of Jesus included Luke Dotson (left) as Jesus, Josh Marsh, Micah Davis as Pontius Pilat, Cody Brumley, Eric Schneider as Barrabas and Vince Green.

Prevention key to men’s health BY KEVIN ATKINS “There is a silent health crisis in America. ... On average, American men live sicker and die younger than American women,” according to Dr. David Gremillion of the Men’s Health Network. Men die at higher rates than women from the top 10 causes of death. While the life-expectancy gap between men and women has decreased, it’s no secret men still need to pay more attention to their bodies. Men don’t seek medical help as often as women. And some men define themselves by their work, which can add to stress levels. Improving men’s health starts at home with individuals and families taking steps to live safer and healthier lives. The biggest threats to men’s health often can be prevented: n Don’t smoke n Eat a healthy diet

PHARMACY NEWS n Manage high cholesterol and high blood pressure n Keep blood sugar under control n Include physical activity in your daily routine n Get enough sleep n Maintain a healthy weight n Limit alcohol n Manage stress Your pharmacist can help. Ask about adrenal support and a weightloss program that is most appropriate for your needs. Atkins received a pharmacy degree from the University of Texas at Austin in 1984. Since 1994 he has owned and operated Atkins Pharmacy Services, 701 Third St. in Marble Falls. A second pharmacy is at 2607 U.S. 281 North.

Fundraiser benefitting Bertram-area Meals on Wheels service Picayune Staff

BURNET — Budget cuts have put the future of the Bertram-area Meals on Wheels service in question. But those concerns don’t worry a group of people fighting to continue helping those who need the service. “I go and I see the families; they aren’t people who can live without us,” said Teresa Wall, who delivers two Meals on Wheels routes a week in Burnet County. “Sometimes, it’s the only meal they get in a day. The need is there, and I want to help the Bertram community.”

WHAT: Barbecue fundraiser for Bertram-area Meals on Wheels WHEN: 7-9 p.m. Aug. 9 WHERE: Oaks Nursing Center, 507 W. Jackson St. in Burnet COST: $5 per plate, $1 desserts; dine in or carry out MENU: Brisket, potato salad, baked beans, tea

Wall, the admissions coordinator for Oaks Nursing Center in Burnet, drives a route in Burnet and in Kingsland each week. And to assist the people of Bertram who rely on the meals, Wall is helping

raise money for the service at Oaks Nursing Center, 507 W.

Barbecue filling backpacks, bellies of Llano students BY DANIEL CLIFTON Picayune Editor

LLANO — When the Llano High School student council began looking for a community project, members wanted something they knew would make a difference. Only, they never realized how big a difference packing food in backpacks and handing them out to other students would make on themselves, the recipients and the community. “It’s been incredible,” said Llano High School student council president Bailey Johnson. “We’ve heard from the counselors and teachers that the kids who get these backpacks, well, it’s just made a big impact. These are kids who might not get much to eat on the weekends if not for the backpacks.” The student council started the Jackets Backpack Buddies program about a year-and-a-half ago after members heard about the project from another school’s student council. The idea is simple: Purchase food items, stuff them in backpacks and dispense them to students who face hunger or lack of food at home. “About 60 percent of the students in this district are in the free or reducedlunch program,” Johnson said. “We saw such a need for people to have food. And this seemed like a way to help.” The student council is hosting a Jackets Backpack Buddies Backto-School Barbecue on Aug. 10 at Schorlemmer Hall, located behind St. James Lutheran Church at 1401 Ford St. The benefit, which features full barbecue plates, all the trimmings and desserts, is 6-8:30 p.m. The student council asks for an $8.50 donation per plate. The proceeds will go to help the program. “Last year, the student council fed more than 200 kids in the district,” said Lisa Petty, the Llano High School student council advisor. “We serve the 10 percent that are at the most risk. But it’s become a $20,000-a-year project.” Donations keep the program thriving. The barbecue Aug. 10 is the first time the student council has tried such

a benefit, but Johnson hopes it will not only raise money but also awareness of the issue of hunger in the community and the schools. Petty said many of the Llano Independent School District students who face hunger issues at home often only get two hot meals a day at their respective campuses. When the students go home, they face what is sometimes described as “food insecurity.” According to Feeding America, this occurs when a child or person doesn’t know when or where he or she will get his or her next meal. Programs such as the Jackets Backpack Buddies help alleviate some of that concern by providing nutritional, easy-to-fix meals for the weekend.

The student council is committed to providing the backpacks each weekend for 32 weeks during the school year. The students or volunteers transport the backpacks to the various campuses, where counselors or teachers hand them out to the children in the program. “It’s done anonymously so the other students don’t know,” Johnson said. The cost breaks down to about $120 per student a school year. When Petty first crunched the numbers, she was astonished by the total amount the council would need. At first, this gave her pause, but when she took the amount to the students, they didn’t balk. “Our kids just said, ‘Yes, we can,’” Petty said. “And the community has really jumped in to help out.” In April, the Texas Association of Student Councils selected the Jackets Backpack Buddies program as one of its Top Ten Projects. “We do this because we just want to help the kids in our district,” Johnson said. “Even though it’s anonymous, you can tell it’s making a difference because the kids keep coming back.” daniel@thepicayune.com

the daily meal in Bertram costs about $420 a week. Since the city learned the service would be discontinued in June, individual donations have come in that will fund the service through the end of September. What happens after that is unknown. “The good thing that came out of it was that people responded and really came out and helped out the people that needed help,” Allen said.
