He began his career in the Texas club scene, moved to Nashville, got sick and then resumed his career when he was healthy again. Dodd is the latest artist of the Summer Music Series sponsored by KBEY 103.9 FM Radio Picayune, The Picayune, Double Eagle Entertainment and the city of Burnet. The show is 8 p.m. at the Haley Nelson Park amphitheater, located off Texas 29 West. Gates open at 6 p.m. Walt Wilkins & The Mystiqueros will open the show. The cost is $12 at the gate and $10 in advance. “(Dodd) hasn’t played in this area for several years,” said Double Eagle Entertainment producer Damon Beierle. “He’s definitely a highlighter for the year, for sure.” After Dodd moved to Nashville in 1991, he found work as a background vocalist for Martina McBride and Radney Foster and as a songwriter. In 1996, Dodd signed a recording contract with Columbia Records Nashville but, a

He was bedridden for six months and spent another 18 months in rehabilitation, where he had to re-learn how to play the guitar. Once he was healthy again in 2000, he began touring with country superstars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill on their Soul2Soul tour. Two singles, “A Bitter End” and “That’s How I Got to Memphis,” peaked on the U.S. charts at Nos. 26 and 36, respectively. A newer single, “Somethin’ Ain’t Always Better Than Nothin’,” hit No. 1 on the Texas Regional Radio Report in late May. It’s off his “Random As I Am” album. “He’s definitely a showman,” Beierle said.

Al knows so much, and he’s always willing to help.” There is no verification Gerow is the oldest working tour or nature guide in Texas. But, when he turns 82 on Sept. 16, he definitely will be one of the profession’s elder statesmen. Despite 15 years of leading people underground at the park, Gerow looks forward to each new day and every new tour. “Every time is different,” he said. “I do this because I love it.” Gerow grew up a rockhound. As a youth in California, he and his parents would go camping in the Sierra Nevada mountains. “I drove my parents mad,” Gerow said. “I would come home with boxes full of rocks.” An attentive high school counselor picked up on Gerow’s rock enthusiasm and pointed him in the direction of geology studies. After high school, it was off to the Colorado School of Mines, which he followed up with a 30-year career with Amoco, an energy company. Part of his career at Amoco included solving issues with drilling for oil. The last 17 years with the company found Gerow working in the geophysics department. When British Petroleum bought out Amoco and offered early retirement packages, Gerow took one. But he wasn’t done working. While living in Houston, he spent two more years doing contract work in the petroleum industry. As that work wound down, retirement loomed. Gerow, however, couldn’t imagine himself putting on slippers, kicking back in the recliner and grabbing the remote control. “I’m pretty lousy at retirement,” he said. His wife, who was working and living in Burnet at the time, saw an advertisement that Longhorn Caverns State Park was looking for somebody with a geology background to lead tours and help with other programs. “I told her, ‘They won’t hire an old geezer like me,’” he said. Still, Gerow called the manager and landed the job over the phone. While all the guides follow a basic program, each adds a bit of their own flavor and personality to the tour. With Gerow, that means a little more

emphasis on geology. Along with the regular cavern tours, Gerow also guides geology tours across the Highland Lakes a few weekends each month. As Gerow led the group through the cavern, he explained that while slow-moving water created the caverns around San Marcos and in Carlsbad, N.M., thousands of years ago, regular, torrential flooding shaped what would become Longhorn Cavern. The system stretches from Longhorn Cavern State Park to Burnet. Most of it remains unexplored. Along with sharing his insight about cavern geology, Gerow told tales of how the Comanche Indians used the caverns for holding councils and for hiding out. He shared how Confederate soldiers would gather bat guano and make gunpowder from it and store it in the caverns. “It’s all gone,” he assured the group, much to the dismay of several middle school-aged boys. After the Civil War, Texas outlaw Sam Bass used the caverns as a hideout. And during Prohibition, folks from Burnet County and the surrounding area enjoyed some illicit liquor thanks to the speak easy housed in the caverns. Even as he unfolded each tale, Gerow wrapped some geology in it. While geology fascinates him, people invigorate him. “I love all the people,” Gerow said. “The people who I work with are great. I think the question I get the most is ‘Don’t I get tired of the all the kids?’ No way. I love the kids. The kids are the best part.” As the tour ended, Gerow thanked everybody in his latest group. Even as most of the people meandered off toward the park headquarters for shopping, lunch or to escape the Texas sun, Gerow lingered and answered every question. “How long am I going to do this?” he asked rhetorically. “I don’t know. I guess until I can’t make it through the cavern anymore.” Longhorn Cavern State Park is located at 6211 Park Road 4 South between Burnet and Marble Falls.

Pilots to put on aerobatic show at festival in Llano BY DANIEL CLIFTON Picayune Editor

Fine wine, dinner and music for a cause In April, the STAR Republican Women’s fundraiser,‘Ten Men About Town,’ auctioned off 10 events by members’ husbands. Ron Hewitt, husband of STAR president Charlotte Hewitt, offered eight couples a ‘Deep in the Wine Cellar’ wine tasting at a private wine cellar Aug. 17 when the successful bid winners gathered for an evening of five wine selections, dinner and music. The money raised in the auction will be used by STAR Republican Women to support conservative candidates in the general elections. Enjoying the wine choices are Charlotte Hewitt (sitting, left), Kathleen Salem, Nancy Wagner, Helene Bugg, Cynthia Jackson, Susan Herr and Donna Shafer; John Bugg (standing, left), Doug Jackson, Steve Wagner and Glenn Salem; and Ron Hewitt (kneeling).

Hefty harvest You can tell by the size of his gourds that Roy Settlemyre’s green thumb paid off this gardening season. The Burnet County resident recently harvested two mammoth-sized squash — a 34-inch Italian cushaw squash (left) and a 23-inch zucchini cross. The typical large squash is a maximum of 18-20 inches, he says. He obtained the seeds at Sweetberry Farm, 1801 FM 1980. STAFF PHOTO BY CONNIE SWINNEY

LLANO — Oh, those magnificent men (and women) and their flying machines take to the air above Llano on Aug. 31-Sept. 1 for the annual Hill Country Hammerfest. “It’s an (International Aerobatic Club) competition,” said pilot and Austin IAC Chapter 107 member Jack Stovall. “The planes that you’ll see there are purpose-built for aerobatics.” Hammerfest draws competitive aerobatic pilots from across Texas and the country. It is one of the last competitions before the national event in September and gives pilots a chance to get in some flying and practice. Stovall said the Austin club, which sponsors the event, expects between 20 and 25 planes at the Llano Municipal Airport for Hammerfest. The airport is located two miles north of Llano off Texas 16 at 100 Evelyn Gould Drive. While it’s not an air show, the competition is open to the public. Organizers will have an area designated for spectators who want to see these daring pilots and their aircraft go through a series of stunts and aerobatic maneuvers. Stovall said the spectator area gives people a great view of the competition. While pilots take to the air both Aug. 31 and Sept. 1, Stovall said spectators should expect to see some of the most air-show like flying in the early afternoon Sept. 1. That’s when the pilots flying in the unlimited class compete in the four-minute freestyle. “That’s basically an air show,” Stovall said. IAC competition features five levels of competition: primary, sporting, intermediate, advanced and unlimited. “Primary is a very basic class where pilots will do a spin, loop and

a roll, things like that,” Stovall said. “It progresses up from there to the unlimited, which is the top class.” The pilots will each compete in three flights for their division. The first flight is a known competition during which the pilots are given a routine ahead of time and must execute it. Each pilot flies the same routine. Next is the free program. Though it conforms to a set of rules and specifications, each competitor develops his or her own free program. Those two flights occur Aug. 31. Following the Aug. 31 competition, the judges pass out the unknown program to each competitor. It’s a program that none of the pilots have seen, so they will not have an opportunity to practice it. “It’s an aerobatic sequence they have to memorize the night before,” Stovall said. The pilots will execute the sequence Sept. 1. Judges score each program and pilot on a set of criteria. The aircraft used in these aerobatic competitions aren’t the typical Cessna or Piper. Instead, these planes are specifically built for the tasks at hand. Stovall said some of the planes people can anticipate seeing include the Pitts (a biplane), the Super Decathlon, the Great Lakes, the Christian Eagle, the Edge 540 and several others. Hammerfest has been stopping at Llano for several years. Stovall said the community and local businesses have made the event a great endeavor for the organization and the pilots. “We have a lot of support from Llano,” he said. “We just have a great time there. We really enjoy coming to Llano.” Go to www.iac107.org for more information on Hammerfest or aerobatic flying. daniel@thepicayune.com

BERTRAM — Entering its 36th year, the Oatmeal Festival hasn’t lost the zaniness that put the town back on the map. “People come back year after year to claim bragging rights to the Cow Chip Kick-off, the Goat Pill Pop, the Toilet Seat Tortilla Toss, Oatmeal Box Stacking Contest and the very serious egg toss,” said Marcie Masterson, who’s been involved with the festival for a dozen years. From the games to the parade and the barbecue dinner, organizers are prepared for a successful festival Aug. 30-31. “The festival is shaping up great,” Masterson said. However, what’s new for the festival isn’t something patrons will notice as oats rain down from above. “It’s going to look the same and feel the same as it always has,” said Evan Milliorn, Bertram city secretary and one of the festival’s directors. “Behind the scenes, there are a lot of new, younger people involved now.” The youth movement is similar to adding sugar to your morning oats. “What is new this year is that the younger generation has stepped up to the plate, so to speak, and their energy is overwhelming,” Masterson said. The festival gets under way at 5:03 p.m. Aug. 30 at the Oatmeal Community Center with a barbecue dinner, arts and crafts and children’s games. Events start at three minutes or 33 minutes after the hour as a nod to sponsor Ralston Brand 3 Minute Oats. The Miss Oatmeal Pageant and a cake auction begin at 6:33 p.m. with a dance featuring Eddie Shell and the Not Guilties following. The next morning begins with a trail ride from Oatmeal to Bertram and the “Run for your Oats” 3.3mile race at 8:03 a.m. Events on Aug. 31 are at the Bertram pavilion and Bertram youth riding arena on FM 243 East,

IF YOU GO WHAT: 36th annual Oatmeal Festival WHEN/WHERE: Kicks off 5:03 p.m. Aug. 30 with barbecue at Oatmeal Community Center; events Aug. 31 are at the Bertram pavilion and Bertram youth riding arena on FM 243 east BIG EVENTS: Miss Oatmeal pageant and cake auction are 6:33 p.m. Aug. 30; Oatmeal Cook-off is 9:03 a.m. Aug. 31; pet parade is 10:03 a.m. in downtown Bertram; grand parade is 10:33 a.m. ALSO: Live music with Eddie Shell and the Not Guilties; arts and crafts; children’s games

about three-quarters of a mile east of Texas 29. The Oatmeal Cook-off begins at 9:03 a.m. at the Lewis Building on Vaughan Street. The Pet Parade in downtown Bertram is 10:03 a.m. before the grand parade at 10:33 a.m. “It actually rains oats,” Masterson said. “We have a new pilot this year, Jason Hinds. He will make several passes over the parade route, drizzling all of us with oats.” The afternoon is filled with the games, music, and arts and crafts. The festival concludes with another performance by Eddie Shell and the Not Guilties at 8:03 p.m. at the pavilion. Along with keeping Oatmeal on the map, the festival’s goal is to raise scholarship money for graduating students. Masterson said the festival awarded more than $2,500 in scholarships last year, down from $3,000 the two previous years. This year’s goal is $4,000. “The scholarships go to kids that have helped the festival through the years,” Masterson said. “Each year, the kids accrue points by helping, and the scholarships go to the kids that have helped the most.” Go to www.oatmealfestival. com for a full schedule of events and more information. jared@thepicayune.com

FALL SPORTS PREVIEW 2013 MARBLE FALLS VOLLEYBALL HEAD COACH: Julie Downs DISTRICT: 25-4A

2012 RESULT: 14-18-1 overall and 0-12 in district RETURNERS: Haley Coulter, Taylor Brackenridge, Lacie Long, Maddie Johnson, Hanna Wall

NEWCOMERS: Shelby Wyatt, Shelcee Clark, Makenzie Carpenter, Jackie Winn, Kelly Copeland, Amber Clark, Natalie Chapa OUTLOOK: The Lady Mustangs began the 2012 season with a winning record, but the reputation of District 25-4A as being one of the top volleyball divisions in the state haunted Marble Falls. In the end, district runner-up Cedar Park advanced to the state tournament, where they lost to eventual state champion Lucas Lovejoy in four sets. Marble Falls head coach Downs doesn’t expect the district competition to get any easier in 2013. There are minimal changes at

Cedar Park, she said, but Dripping Springs enters the season as the No. 5-ranked Class 4A team by the Texas Girls Coaches Association. “They’re tough, tough, tough,” she said. That means Marble Falls must find a way to beat the remaining district opponents if the Lady Mustangs want to advance to the postseason for the first time since 2009. So it’s up to the returners and some upperclassmen to lead the program into the playoffs, she said. “We have to do well in our tournament season to build our confidence,” Downs said. “We have to learn to win, that’s the major goal. They’re sick of losing. We don’t want to lose anymore. We feel like we have everything we need. We have put everybody in place, and they have to believe they can make it happen.” jfierro@thepicayune.com

STAFF PHOTO BY JENNIFER FIERRO

OUTLOOK: To pump up the 2013 Lady Dawgs, newly hired head coach Coles scheduled the first practice of the season at midnight Aug. 5. And it worked, she said. “We’re just oozing with talent,” she said. “The kids are the most coachable group of young ladies. They take the idea and go with it. I feel blessed.” Burnet missed the playoffs for the first time in four years in 2012. Entering this season, the Lady Dawgs are learning a new system for the third time in three years.

Coles, who comes from San Angelo Lakeview and is entering her 28th year of coaching, was hired during the spring and came to Burnet once a week to work with the players for 45 minutes before school ended. “They got dressed quickly and came out on the floor,” she said. “It was more of ‘Let’s evaluate this skill’ on this day.” To improve their individual skills, Rosow and Hall spent their offseason playing league volleyball with players from Marble Falls High School. Burnet will attempt to nab one of the four playoff spots this season, but standing in the way are Liberty Hill, Gatesville, Brownwood, Llano and Lampasas. “I’m excited about it,” Coles said. “I think we’re going to turn heads. I truly believe we’re going to be the team that everyone is talking about.” jfierro@thepicayune.com

FALL SPORTS PREVIEW 2013 FAITH ACADEMY VOLLEYBALL HEAD COACH: Mandi Mullen

DISTRICT: 4-2A of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools

2012 RESULT: 3-13 overall and 3-7 in district for fourth place; lost in bi-district championship to Rockwall Heritage RETURNERS: Joanna Piatek, Kristen Cherry

NEWCOMERS: Taylor Denton, Ashton Heide, Hailey Shipley, Sophie McCannon

OUTLOOK: In their first-ever season in 2012, the Lady Flames advanced to the playoffs but lost to Rockwall Heritage. So the team’s goal this year is to win in the playoffs, new head coach Mullen said. Mullen served as the squad’s assistant coach last year. She taught the players much of the skills, technique, footwork and plays. The Lady Flames also had a

couple of built-in advantages last season. They had some tennis players who understood the value of winning points off serves. Mullen was pleased to see her players remembered much of what they learned a year ago. In addition, some attended camps and took lessons to improve, she said. “We’re not going backward at all,” Mullen said. Austin Hill Country is the defending district champion, and Mullen said she believes it will be strong again. Waco Vanguard also should be in the mix, she added. But the Faith coach doesn’t discount her own squad. “I expect a lot because we have a lot of potential,” she said. “If they set their minds to it. We’re at a point now where we’re learning to win.” jfierro@thepicayune.com

OUTLOOK: The Lady Jackets captured their second bi-district championship in program history in 2012. The team returns a large group of veterans but lost two key members, Jessica Wunderlich and Cierra Jordan, to graduation. New head coach Black, who is entering his 15th season as a head coach, takes the reins after stints at Crane, Boling and Salado high schools. “(The players) have a lot of good volleyball knowledge,” he

said. “You can tell a lot of them have played a lot of volleyball.” Black said he believes a key to success is a coach’s ability to develop rapport with players beyond court time because athletes will give more than what they think they can. “That’s a big part,” he said. “You want the girls to bond with you.” Last season, Liberty Hill won the district championship and Gatesville was the runnerup with Llano finishing third. And just like Llano, Burnet and Brownwood welcome new head coaches. “It’s a tough district,” Black said. “You expect to win, it’s one of those things in a program that you have going every year. You expect to go to the playoffs every year. You know what it takes to get there. I expect them to be there, and they expect to be there.” jfierro@thepicayune.com

Watson, Cody Seelig, Keith Jerome, Steven Petrosky NEWCOMERS: Ty Coffey, Davin Manning, Brennen Wooten, Drake Harkins, Alejandro Osornio, Sam Kohutek, Dylon Jackson, Jason Lenoir OUTLOOK: A 62-55 win against Boerne Champion in Week 4 last season reaffirmed why Marble Falls hired Dodge to be the head coach. Former quarterback Mike Richardson threw for 724 yards to break the state’s single-game passing record, which also ranks second nationally. The night showed off the Mustangs’ abilities and talent and let members of District 25-4A know not to take Marble Falls lightly. The Mustangs’ only district win was a 38-35 decision against Dripping Springs. Marble Falls averaged 21 points a game while giving up an average of 42 points.

coordinator Tony Salazar from Leander. Sophomore quarterback Wooten was named the starter in the spring, and he’ll have a slew of weapons around him led by all-state receiver Gray, who committed to the University of Texas in June, and running back Keith Jerome, who has been contacted by several colleges. The starting offensive line also will be new. And those players have a new coach, Brandon Murdock. They have been meeting together to review film, talk after each practice and build rapport.

winner, and Leander Rouse lost to the Georgetown in the semifinals of the Division I playoffs. So Dodge doesn’t see a reason why the district won’t

have teams playing into December. “I think (district competition is) as tough as it was going into last year,” he said. “I don’t think there’s any

contest. With that victory, Burnet started a three-game winning streak and finished third in the division — impressively, with only nine seniors on the roster. So the core of the Bulldogs returns including starting quarterback Kiser, starting running back Hafley, one of the team’s top receivers in Parisher and at least five offensive linemen who logged significant playing time in 2012. “We felt like we finished the last half of the year fairly strong last year,” Jones said. “And we just got to build off of that. And, if we’ll do that, then everything else will fall into place and take care of itself.” During the summer, Burnet qualified for the 7-on-7 state tournament but was eliminated in the second round of the championship bracket. Jones said there will be at least 36 players on the varsity roster with the majority being upperclassmen. Several members of last year’s 6-3 junior varsity team should help the varsity squad this year, Jones said. One advantage the Bulldogs have this season that they didn’t have last year is the defensive scheme remains the same. A year ago, defensive coordinator Kevin Hall was installing the new scheme. And Hall will continue to coach the defensive backs this year. “I think we’re going to be stronger overall as a team,” he said. “The team strength should be much improved. I also think just in confidence. And that comes with kids coming back that have been one- or two-year starters for us.” jfierro@thepicayune.com

FALL SPORTS PREVIEW 2013 FAITH ACADEMY FOOTBALL HEAD COACH: Russ Roberts DISTRICT: Division III District 4 of Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools 2012 RESULT: 11-1 overall and district and bi-district champions RETURNERS: Austin Ellis, Royale Brown, Matt Manley, Mitch Earwood, Cole Madigan, Zach Haydon NEWCOMERS: Hanner Shipley, Magnum Burcham, Jonathan Reyes, Daniel Penner, Nathan Peacock, Dalton Mayberry, Jack Miller, Nathan Klick, Tyler Rutherford, Connor White OUTLOOK: Faith Academy has traditionally put a very good football team on the field, but very few people could have predicted what the Flames accomplished in their first year of 11-man competition in 2012. Faith began the season winning and didn’t stop until a 38-12 second-round playoff loss to Halletsville Sacred Heart. Faith finished the season 11-1. And the Flames did it with 27 players on the roster. But even with eight athletes lost to graduation, the team will have 37 players for the 2013 season. And that has head coach Roberts excited. Brown moves from receiver to running back, while Ellis is still the quarterback/spinner. But Shipley will line up in various spots on the field including offensive lineman, tight end and defensive lineman. His natural strength should open holes for Reyes and other runners. Upperclassmen who didn’t play last season and new transfers give Roberts more options. He noted competition for starting positions was

very good during fall training camp. Defense has been the emphasis this fall since the Flames used spring football to work on their offense. Overall team speed should be better this season, allowing Roberts to add more to the playbook. “Their attitude has been good. They’re enthusiastic,” he said. Faith averaged 41 points a game in 2012 and only gave up an average of 16 points a contest. The district includes Texas School for the Deaf, Temple Central Texas Christian and Temple Holy Trinity. All three schools had changes in the offseason, from coaches taking other jobs to players leaving their teams, Roberts said. jfierro@thepicayune.com

Tatsch, Matt Center, Isaac Hutto, Gilberto Arredondo, Caleb Penny, Mason Ladd, Eli Tiffin NEWCOMERS: Lance Reven, Jalen Bauman, Cody Harp, Chance Ware, Aaron Moss, Clancy Durham OUTLOOK: When Craig Slaughter took over at Llano in 2012, the team was in the midst of a nine-game losing streak that started the previous year. But fans quickly took notice when the Yellowjackets came within a point of beating powerhouse Wimberley in the first game of the season. Then, Llano defeated Bangs in Week 2 and followed that with a victory against Bandera in the third game. A win against Lampasas in the second District 8-3A contest ended Llano’s six-game losing skid in division play. As Slaughter begins his second year with the Yellowjackets, the team has some definite advantages, including the return of starting quarterback Rabb. His experience and dedication will allow him to change the play if needed after breaking the huddle. “We’re giving him a lot more at the line of scrimmage and letting him get us into a better play,” Slaughter said. Other players expected to contribute offensively are running back Tatsch and receiver Hutto. Each has the potential to account for 1,000

yards individually. On the defensive side, Slaughter said the No. 1 goal is making key stops and quickly getting off the field. “When you get a chance to make a play, you better,” he said. “We’re trying to get more speed and tacklers on the field.” The coach believes District 8-3A will be as competitive as the year before. But the big difference this season is each Class 3A district will have four playoff spots up for grabs. “Our goal is to be in the playoffs,” he said. “We expect to be very competitive.” jfierro@thepicayune.com

RETURNERS: Jordan Wright, Colton Hagood, D’Anthony Wall, Cody Skipper, Tate Johnson, Ishmael Montoya, Daniel Mata; Sarah Stripling, Haley Stephens, Tess Johnson, Darby Hibbs, Nydia Castro NEWCOMERS: Christian Marroqin, Kameron Wright, Rafael Villareal; Brittney Deering, Chase Martin, Emma Sharp, Tincia Ware, Sydney Gibson, Siobhan Patterson, Maddie Conrad, Joy Plunk, Serenity Wall, Nadia Castro OUTLOOK: The 2013 crosscountry team has the most runners in at least the past decade, according to Torns, but that’s only part of the story. “I don’t care about the numbers as long as we have quality athletes,” he said. “Kids are willing to come out here and work hard.” And work, they did.

Mustangs have been running as a squad since June. By the time fall training camp began Aug. 5, the runners were in good condition. The Lady Mustangs are led by senior Stripling. “I believe our girls have as good a chance as anybody because of our depth,” he said. “They’re the best girls team I’ve had.” The boys are led by senior Wright,

who is looking for a return to the state meet. How much each runner wants to improve individually will decide what kind of season the Mustangs have, Torns said. “A willingness to work,” he said. “You can get a lot better and run your way to being a good distance runner.” jfierro@thepicayune.com

BURNET CROSS COUNTRY HEAD COACH: Stuart Dixon DISTRICT: 8-3A 2012 RESULT: Boys finished 6th at district meet, girls were 4th RETURNERS: Joe Parker, Nick Menchaca, Cody Cowan, Cole Lastly, Shaylah Hullum, Autumn Freasier NEWCOMERS: Abby Bullock, Jordan Boyles, Hailey Letterman, Drew Kiser, Trevor Turner OUTLOOK: State-qualifer Parker enters 2013 as the Bulldogs’ top runner. But he didn’t rest on his past accomplishments. Instead, he ran on his own throughout the summer, Dixon said. But that’s not to say he’s Burnet’s only runner. Burnet will have many athletes vying for varsity spots, which should make the team even better, Dixon said. Cowan, Lastly and Menchaca return for their second year, and Dixon hopes experience pays off this season. “I think we have a competitive team,” he said. “Once again, it comes back to those sophomores’ maturity and a couple of freshmen. They’re learning how to race on a 5K (3.1

miles) level.” The Lady Dawgs will rely heavily on Hullum, who made the all-district track team in the 800 meters, and Freasier, who was running close to 12 minutes and almost made the all-district team, Dixon said. In addition, a strong group of freshmen should put Burnet

in position to contend for a playoff berth, he said. “I’m excited about this crew because Shaylah and Autumn finished the year strong,” he said. “It’s been a while since I felt like we could put five to seven girls where we could be competitive.” jfierro@thepicayune.com

HEAD COACH: Steve McCannon 2012 RESULT: 4th at the Class 2A state meet RETURNERS: Sierra Brinkley, Rachel Ormsby NEWCOMERS: Jessica Beckner, Caitlyn Hughes, Shelby Fairleigh, Hailey Shipley, Sophie McCannon OUTLOOK: To coach McCannon, no sport makes participants better athletes than cross country.

Take Shipley, for example, who is a 300-meter hurdler. Cross country will improve her endurance and speed, trimming her hurdle time, he said. Cross country is a different sort of team sport, he added, because only one person can win the race. But if the Lady Flames can get four girls to finish in the top 10 and a fifth runner in the top 20, the team can contend

for a championship. So to him, correlation between being a top cross-country runner and a top-pier athlete go hand-in-hand with running the fastest times and being in great shape for other sports. “My job is to get them to run their very best time,” he said. “You get the best of both worlds.

HEAD COACH: Aidan Callahan DISTRICT: 8-3A 2012 RESULT: Boys finished 4th at the district meet; girls were 6th RETURNERS: Ericka Tisdale, Heather Shafer, Grayson Freeman, David Forrister NEWCOMERS: Jason Gann, Josh Petty OUTLOOK: The Yellowjackets aim to be a cross-country contender in 2013. And they’ll have help from Freeman, who represented Llano at the Class 3A Region I meet last year

after finishing sixth overall at the District 8-3A meet in 18 minutes and 5 seconds. The runners have had grueling practices this summer, working on their speed by running up hills. “I think it’s going great so far,” Petty said. Gann said having confidence in each other is important. “We work hard and believe in each other,” he said. “We’ll get out there and compete.” Forrister, the younger brother

of 2010 graduate Erik Forrister, who is a runner at Abilene Christian University, plans to split time between the cross-country course and the football gridiron this season. While the Lady Jackets only have two runners, Shafer has been training throughout the summer with the aim of qualifying for the regional and the state meets. jfierro@thepicayune.com

IF YOU GO

MARBLE FALLS — Karen Vincent knows what it’s like to recover from addiction. “This disease lies and lies to you until it kills you,” she said. Vincent, who is a recovering alcoholic, is one of the committed community volunteers at Open Door Recovery House in Marble Falls. The faith-based sober house for women offers a temporary place to live, a roadmap to self-sufficiency, legal resources and drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. “(The women) start putting their lives back together, and I feel hopeful,” Vincent said. “You do develop a relationship, a bond with them. Every time they take a positive step, you want to cheer with them.” She not only offers support and guidance to the program’s temporary residents but assists executive director Paula Mays with fundraising events such as the upcoming third annual Open Door Recovery House Golf Tournament on Sept. 22. Another role Vincent fills involves securing simple necessities for clients including towels, pillows, hygiene and household products and gift cards. “It can be very emotional for those of us who volunteer there. We see ladies come in with just the clothes on their back, with all kinds of legal issues,” she said. “The children may be in (Child Protective Services) custody. It’s a way to clean up their life and take a step forward.”

WHAT: Third annual Open Door Recovery House Golf Tournament WHEN: Sept. 22 with a 1 p.m. shotgun start for two-person teams WHERE: Slick Rock Golf Course at Horseshoe Bay Resort, 200 Hi Circle North in Horseshoe Bay COST: $75 per person before Sept. 1; $85 per person after Sept. 1 FOR MORE: www.opendoorrecovery. net, myopendr@gmail.com or (830) 693-9292

The program utilizes a 12-step program, conducts regular Bible studies and encourages church attendance. Volunteers, board members, local business leaders and church officials recently combined efforts to move the program into a larger, permanent home with more amenities and accommodations for six residents and a live-in residential staff member. “Now, we’re at a comfortable level,” Vincent said. “There were a lot of tears when they looked and saw where they were going to be able to live during their recovery.” The nonprofit organization offers all services for free and relies on community support for goods and services for clients during their temporary stay. “We expect them, as they start to get a base of sobriety under them, to be able and go out and get a job, to start saving money, so they can have a residence and a place to get their children back,” Vincent said. “We see the ladies come in. I feel their hope as I start to see them rebuild.” Go to www.opendoorrecovery.

Pursuant to the Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 102, notice is hereby given that the City of Highland Haven Board of Aldermen will conduct a public hearing on September 17, 2013 at 7 PM at the Highland Haven Community Center to receive public comment on the proposed budget for the fiscal year of October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014 and adopting a proposed tax rate of 0.1125 per $100 of value. The proposed tax rate would increase total taxes in the City of Highland Haven, Texas by 21%.

Following the public hearing, the Board of Aldermen may vote on the adoption of the budget for fiscal year 2013 – 2014 and the proposed tax rate. This budget will raise more total property taxes than last year’s budget by $22,021.62 (21%), and of that amount, $693.15 is the tax revenue to be raised from new property added to the tax roll this year.

Llano youth’s memory lives on through skeet shoot, scholarship BY JARED FIELDS Picayune Staff

LLANO — Dove hunters looking for some practice before the season starts can sharpen their skills and help Llano High School students attend college. The Kyle Hohmann Memorial Scholarship Annual Shoot is Aug. 31 at Llano County Clay Busters, north of the city on Texas16. “It’s our fourth year to put on the shoot for the scholarship fund,” said Debbie Coats, Hohmann’s aunt and one of the shoot’s organizers. “The way it fell this year, dove season is the next day. We’re hoping it will still be good.” Coats said the shoot has raised enough money the past two years to give three $1,000 scholarships

to graduating Llano High School seniors. She said students who received the scholarship this year can apply for a matching one when beginning their third semester of college. “We want to continue to do that each year,” she said. The shoot, open to all ages, is $50 per person and includes a T-shirt, a barbecue lunch and a goodie bag. Registration is open until the day of the shoot. A shotgun will be awarded to the highest overall score, and additional prizes will go to the firstplace finishers in other classes. After graduating from Llano High School, Hohmann was killed in 2006 in a drunken-driving accident. His family established the scholarship fund in his memory and put on the shoot to continue raising money for Llano students.

“I think a lot of kids in school still know Kyle,” Coats said. “We’d like to continue as long as we can and hope to continue giving what we’re giving now in hopes of raising enough to a certain level that eventually it will fund itself.” For more information, contact Coats at (325) 247-1049. jared@thepicayune.com

In third year, Llano Christian Academy still growing BY DANIEL CLIFTON Picayune Editor

LLANO — As the Llano Christian Academy gets ready to welcome back students Sept. 3, the nondenominational private school also is preparing to open its second campus. “We’re very excited to have the student growth we’ve experienced,” headmaster Alice Smith said. The school opened three years ago in a portion of First Baptist Church, 904 Berry St., but will start this year by adding a second campus at Pittsburg Avenue Baptist Church, 709 Pittsburg Ave. The new location will hold two classes for secondary students. The academy offers educational

opportunities for children from 2½ years old through ninth grade this year. Smith said the school has been adding grades as the students advance. When the academy opened its doors three years ago, 43 students helped kick off the new school. Last year, the number jumped to 72, and, this year, the school will welcome 88 children. “God is truly growing us,” Smith said. The idea for the academy started when residents Brett and Shandon Whitson began exploring the concept of establishing a private, Christian school in Llano. Soon, the idea grew into a rock-solid project as Smith joined as headmaster. “We’re not better, and we’re not worse than public schools; we’re

simply different,” Smith said. “I always say we teach the heart, body and soul of a child.” The academy maintains a 10-to1 student-to-teacher ratio. Smith said the small class size allows a lot more personal instruction between student and teacher. The private setting also allows a great deal of flexibility for students who might be working a level ahead in a particular subject or might be struggling. Smith pointed out if a fourth-grader is reading at a fifthgrade level, then the teacher can move the student to the fifth-grade class for reading. “We are a school without walls,” Smith said. “We have the freedom of movement within our academic programs to place children where they need to be for a particular subject.” All academy teachers are certified. Most are retired teachers who still have a passion for education and children. Along with academics (which is geared toward preparing all students for college or post-secondary education), the academy offers regular chapel services and some extracurricular activities, including a robotics club. Smith said the students enjoy all the same features youth at public schools enjoy with the exception of team sports. “We just don’t have the numbers yet for team sports,” she said. “But our students are active in the area youth leagues.” The school receives no state or federal funding. Tuition and fundraisers cover its budget. “The tuition only covers about half the cost it takes to educate a child, so we depend on community support and fundraising for the rest,” Smith said. “And the community has really taken us in and helped us.” The academy welcomes new students through an application process. Smith said students can enroll and will be placed if there is room. If a class is already at the 10-student limit, the applicant will be placed on a waiting list. But the waiting for the 2013-2014 school year is almost over for academy staff and students.
