Out of necessity, ‘dumbest farm boy’ and World War II veteran goes from young tinkerer to world-class inventor — and he’ll tell you all about it BY DANIEL CLIFTON Picayune Editor
MARBLE FALLS — John D. Bennett stared at the breech of the howitzer. The crew attempted to load a round, but, because of damage sustained during the transit, the 105-mm shell wouldn’t go all the way in. In training, this wouldn’t have been too much of an issue, but Bennett and his crew presented the only defense between an advancing German assault and the rest of the second wave of a landing Sept. 9, 1943, in Salerno, Italy, during World War II. “I had 12 guns lined up ready to go,” Bennett recalled. “But the shells wouldn’t go in.” Bennett yelled at the rest of the crew to get out and ordered someone to get him an ax.

MARBLE FALLS — As a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter pilot, Elizabeth McCormick faced her own mortality more than once. After two near-death experiences, she realized she wasn’t the one piloting her life and decided to take the co-pilot seat. “I discovered God may need me as a co-pilot and surrendered my life to God’s will,” she said. On Nov. 9, McCormick will share her See MCCORMICK / Page 5

From Oklahoma to North Pole: Veteran recounts life, family history BY DANIEL CLIFTON Picayune Editor
LLANO — Just inside the front door of the home of retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Albert Kelln and his wife, Cecily, hangs his family’s coat of arms: a knight overlooking a shield bearing a bundle of wheat on the left side and a trident on the right. In many ways, that coat of arms, which has been traced to 1259, not only reflects his family’s history but his personal story. He, after all, grew up on a Depression-era Oklahoma wheat farm, went on to be the first man to fly over, sail under and stand upon the North Pole and, eventually, oversaw the U.S. Navy Trident submarine program. “It’s very interesting, isn’t it?” Kelln asked, referring to the coat of arms. “Interesting” also would be a good

way of describing Kelln’s life and Navy career. On Nov. 12, Kelln will delve into his family history and personal narrative during a special Kingsland Genealogical Society of the Highland Lakes meeting celebrating Veterans Day at the Granite Shoals Fire Department meeting room at 2 p.m. The fire hall is located 410 RR 1431 in Granite Shoals. Kelln, a first-generation American of German immigrants, has traced his family’s history back several generations. His family members were among those who settled in Russia before eventually immigrating to the United States, where they mostly found homes in the wheat-growing Central Plains. His parents grew wheat in the Shattluck, Okla., area. During his youth, Kelln learned the

importance of not only hard work but serving others. His father also imparted the importance of civic duty — including voting — on the future naval officer. Though his father couldn’t vote because of his citizenship status, he refused to sit at home on Election Day. Instead, the farmer drove around the area’s German settlements, loaded up people in his yellow truck and took them to polling places so they could take part in the American process. As a teen, Kelln used that same truck to help put up election signs for candidates. One of the those candidates, who went on to become a U.S. congressman, remembered Kelln’s efforts and helped him get a nomination to the U.S. Naval Academy. From there, Kelln’s path took him on adventures above and below the ocean, In the late 1950s, Kelln was a young officer on the USS Skate (SSN578), one of the first nuclear-powered, fast-attack submarines. One of the sub’s early missions was to study the Arctic Ocean and other area underwater features in hopes of locating oil reserves. It was one of the early “races” between the United States and the former Soviet Union. “Before we went out, the captain said he needed photos of the surface,” Kelln said. As a junior officer, the job fell to Kelln, who loaded up an airplane with camera gear and flew over the possible tracks the USS Skate would take. The flight passed right over the North Pole. Once back aboard the Skate, Kelln and the crew sailed beneath the Arctic ice — directly under the North Pole. On a return trip in August 1958, the Skate surfaced at the North Pole. This made Kelln the first person to fly over, sail below and stand on the North Pole. But his captain gave him a choice: Be a hero or a submariner. “I chose to be a submariner,” Kelln
said. And so Kelln went on to build a Naval career that spanned 28 years and included many missions and commands. After his stint on the Skate and two other subs, Kelln commanded the USS Ray (SSN-653). At one point, he was overseeing a submarine project with a crew of about 40 men when he was named the chief engineer of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN-65), the Navy’s largest nuclear-powered ship. He landed back in the submarine service, including commanding attack and ballistic-missile groups and fleets. In 1972, at the age of 42 and with only 20 years in the Navy, Kelln earned the rank of admiral. “I was probably one of the youngest to become an admiral,” he said. It would be another five years before other members of his 1952 Naval Academy graduating class began attaining the rank of admiral. Despite retiring in 1980, Kelln hasn’t stopped leading. One of his passions is getting young people excited about their futures. During one submarine trip, the king and queen of Greece were aboard. At one point, he looked over and saw a young sailer explaining to the queen how to operate the sub. It was a young man many in society had previously given up on because of his drug use and violent background. But Kelln pointed out what the sailor needed, what he craved, was discipline, direction and responsibility. “There’s basically an instinct to do good,” Kelln said. “It’s basically the frustration of life that leads you astray.” He stressed the importance of giving young people good educations coupled with good leadership, whether it’s from parents, educators or even military officials. “You just can’t give up on them,” he added. daniel@thepicayune.com

Burnet, Bertram schools to host Veterans Day Tribute BY CONNIE SWINNEY Picayune Staff
IF YOU GO
BURNET — Ronald Harrod says youth who realize and honor the contributions of military service men and women can strengthen and unite a community. “We need more unity in everything we do. Veterans are somebody’s family,” said Harrod, junior vice commander of Burnet VFW Post 6974 and Vietnam veteran. “The family ought to be for the whole community.” To celebrate Veterans Day on Nov. 11, Harrod and at least 100 other veterans are expected to attend the Veterans Day Tribute hosted by R.J. Richey
WHAT: Veterans Day Tribute WHEN: Nov. 11 WHERE: Bulldog Field, 1000 The Green Mile in Burnet; and Bertram Elementary School, 315 Main St. in Bertram
Elementary School at Bulldog Field, 1000 The Green Mile in Burnet, and Bertram Elementary School, 315 Main St. in Bertram. “We’re community oriented,” Harrod said. “There are great veterans, and we need to support them.” The Veterans Day Tribute at the stadium begins at 10 a.m. and includes
a fly-over, a flag ceremony, speakers, patriotic songs and a Veterans Walk of Honor featuring veterans and led by educators, students and community leaders. “They’re very emotional about it. You can see it in the veterans’ eyes. You can hear it in their voices,” said Principal Jill Wittekind of R.J. Richey Elementary School, comprised of thirdthrough fifth-grade students. “There’s a connection, and the kids become very emotional. The kids really begin to understand what happened.” Participating groups include the Burnet VFW, the Highland Lakes Honor Guard and the Commemorative Air Force. “We’re seeing more people inter-
ested in it and, especially, kids who didn’t know what went on back in those days,” Harrod said. “We’re the ones who can pass it along because we’re the ones who lived it.” At 11 a.m., volunteers will serve a complimentary lunch to veterans in the R.J. Richey Elementary School cafeteria. Visiting adults pay $3.25, and a child’s meal is $2. The simultaneous event on the campus under a pavilion in Bertam will start at 9 a.m. with speakers, a ceremony, patriotic music and a lunch at 11 a.m. Coordinators of the tribute say, through the years, elder veterans have passed away, and organizers have experienced an increase in participation from
younger veterans in more recent wars. “We also want to educate our kids on what our veterans do and what they’ve sacrificed for us. It’s also about patriotism in our country,” Wittekind said. “It’s important to pull us all together and realize the freedoms we have and why we have them.” Harrod, who has periodically attended the tribute since 1995, said he and other veterans appreciate the support from the community. “I’m proud to be there. I was proud to stand up for what I did,” Harrod said. “This keeps us together. If we don’t stay together, we’re going to fall.” connie@thepicayune.com

Bennett rebuilt Ford Model Ts as a hobby early in life FROM PAGE 1 “That’s one of the things about being the man in charge, you have to do the tough things,” he said. Bennett grabbed the ax, turned the flat side toward the breech and swung. Bam. The shell slipped into the breech. And down the line the artillery captain went, hitting each shell with the ax and forcing it into the gun. Once fired, the shells expanded in the breech, smoothing any dents, and ejected with ease. While taking an ax to the bottom of a howitzer shell might seem suicidal, Bennett knew exactly what he was doing. “I knew that firing pin was recessed just enough, so if I hit it just right, I wouldn’t hit the pin,” he said with a

grin. Still, the idea of striking the bottom of a 105-mm shell isn’t exactly the best way to find out. Bennett, 95, remembers many stories from his war service, as the “dumbest farm boy” in Frio County and as a world-class inventor, which landed him 65 patents. “You were always telling stories,” said his son, Wayne Bennett. “You had so many stories, it just made sense that you write them all down.” Wayne Bennett’s wife, Allison, agreed. “You two would get together and start telling stories,” she said. “It was just one after the other.” So John Bennett decided to put them in print for all to read. With his son helping, the war veteran wrote and published his autobiography, “Oh No! Not That! The Life of John D. Bennett, Inventor and Artillery Captain.” It’s

available at Amazon.com. “There never was a person who lived who had so much fun growing up and doing the things I’ve done,” Bennett said. “I just have so many stories. And I think I got them all down in that book there, at least the important ones.” The book doesn’t just focus on his World War II service. The heart of it is Bennett himself. He grew up on a farm in Derby, just north of Dilley. While farming was his family’s livelihood, he was bent on not making it his. “I was one of those kids who absolutely didn’t give a hoot about farming,” Bennett said. But as a boy growing up on “the farm,” his father expected him to help. Bennett, however, would rather have spent his time fixing and building things. So one day, while he was running the tractor along one of his dad’s cotton fields, he “accidentally” plowed up a few rows of cotton plants. “My dad said, ‘You must be the dumbest farm boy ever,’” Bennett said and laughed. “But it got me off the tractor.” Instead, he found himself under the tutelage of a local fix-it man, Concho Valdez. The man shared his knowledge with the young boy, who already had a penchant for fixing, building and creating. “He could do anything with a pair of pliers, hammer and a chisel,” Bennett said. “He taught me how to do so many things.” But Valdez was only feeding a desire and an ability that was already there in the future inventor. One of Bennett’s early hobbies was rebuilding Ford Model Ts. He would scavenge the nearby Dilley dump for old Model Ts. Then, there at the dump, he would take pieces from one, put them on another and keep working until he came cruising onto the farm in his own Model T. The first time he did this, Bennett was about 10. “I had 17 of these at my daddy’s farm when the war started. My daddy was the patriot, so he ended up turning them into scrap metal for the war effort. Was I ever mad,” he said. “But that’s what I did in my spare time, I piddled.” One day, when he was a bit older, his father remarked he really needed a peanut thrasher. He also needed another tractor but couldn’t afford both. Bennett told his dad about a 1916 Cadillac truck at his grandma’s house and an old Buick his aunt had but didn’t use. If he could get his hands — and wrench — on those two things, Bennett was sure he and Valdez could build a peanut thrasher.
The two did just that, building a peanut thrasher from scraps and pieces from the two vehicles. They also created what is probably the first power-take off, which allowed the peanut thrasher to operate without someone constantly needing to stop, unhook one piece and hook up another in order to keep the machine working. As word spread about this, tractor companies sent people to study the device. “I really believe that’s where they got the idea for the power-take off,” Bennett said. “Had I patented that, it would have been worth more than all my other patents combined. But what does a farm boy know about patents?” All those early experiences and lessons led Bennett out of farming and into mechanical engineering. After the war, he began working in the oil industry, where he would look at problems and come up with solutions, often that included getting patents. At one point, Sun Oil Co. assigned a patent lawyer to Bennett. The attorney, Lee Murrah, set up his office right next to Bennett’s so whenever the engineer/inventor came up with an idea, he began the patent process. In 1948, Bennett invented what went on to become the shorty block. The device is used on oil rigs to help safely raise the tubing from the well. The idea, he said, came from studying a 75-mm French artillery piece at Texas A&M University. The breech used a mechanism to load and unload it. Bennett took the concept and applied it to the oil rig. “And, to this day, that block is probably the standard on every rig in Texas and in the world,” he said. The book also shows a personal side of Bennett, especially when it comes to his wife, Wynona. He tells of how they met and their life together. No matter where he went or what he did, Wynona was there supporting him. The couple had two children, Wayne and Barry. Both, Bennett said, inherited a bit of the inventing gene. Wynona passed away May 23, 2006. The two were living in Marble Falls since Bennett “retired.” They had been married 64 years. He continues to study things of interest. Books line part of his room, while he pointed out he can do a lot of research on the computer. And when he’s not researching or studying, he’s probably sharing a story or two with people who stop by. “Yeah, I got a few of them,” he said with a laugh. daniel@thepicayune.com

Kingsland troubadour is on the road again Because Experience Matters
BY DANIEL CLIFTON Picayune Editor
MARBLE FALLS — When Bill and Connie Evans’ van engine seized up on them while returning from a cross-country trip entertaining veterans, the couple wasn’t sure they would get back on the road before winter set in. “We certainly hoped we would,” Connie Evans said. “Now, we can.” Marble Falls VFW Post 10376 members voted to help the Evanses by providing them funds to purchase a used van to replace their broken one. And the couple didn’t waste any time getting back to making music for veterans. “We already went to Bertram (on Oct. 24) to play for some in the rehab center there,” Bill Evans said outside the Marble Falls post. “After this, we’re heading to (a veterans hospital in) Kerrville.” Post Commander Bill Hansen said helping the couple just made sense. “He’s a former Marine and Korean War veteran, plus he’s a member here,” Hansen said. “He’s played here, so we already had that rapport. But the fact that he goes out performing for veterans in the VA hospitals, this was just something we felt was the right thing to do.” Earlier this year, the husband-andwife team were returning from a trip that had them playing at veterans hospitals and other facilities from Kerrville to Illinois when their van’s engine seized up just outside Lampasas. The only option for the van was to replace the

Bill Evans (right) and his wife, Connie, (front) stop by the Marble Falls VFW Post 10376 to say thank you to ‘the crew that go them back on the road.’ The couple plays music at veterans hospitals and facilities across Texas and, recently, as far north as Illinois but had to give up the road for a few months after the motor in their previous van seized.The Marble Falls post helped them purchase a replacement van.

Evans began entertaining folks years ago when he lived in Alaska. During his musical career, Evans played alongside, backed up or shared the stage with country music perform-

ers such as Ernest Tubb, David Frizell, Shelly West, Ray Price and even Willie Nelson. When he retired to Kingsland several years back, he and his wife decided to continue pursuing music but with a different crowd in mind. Some of the most overlooked members of society are disabled veterans who are staying in VA and other rehab facilities, Bill Evans pointed out. “We just wanted to show them they’re not forgotten,” he said. Hansen and the rest of the Marble Falls VFW Post members agreed. “They’re doing a great thing, and we just wanted to help them out,” he said. daniel@thepicayune.com

M A R B L E FA L L S — T h e Marble Falls High School football team’s season comes down to four words: Win or stay home. The Mustangs (4-5, 2-3 in District 25-4A) helped their playoff chances with a 56-38 victory against Dripping Springs on Nov. 1. But the victory means nothing if they don’t beat Leander (4-5, 2-3) at Mustang Stadium, 2101 Mustang Drive, on Nov. 8. Both squads need this win to earn the final playoff spot in the district. Senior cornerback Aidin Parnell said the Mustangs have played in elimination games before such as in 2008 against Burnet and in 2010 against Leander Vandegrift. But both times, those contests had been road games. So is Mustang Stadium an advantage for this year’s team? “ Ye s i t i s , ” P a r n e l l s a i d . “Especially since the last two games, we’ve had really good turnouts. And we have a really good chance to make the playoffs.” Senior running back Keith Jerome said he and his teammates have focused on one opponent at a time for the past several weeks. Starting Nov. 2, they put their full attention on the Lions. Leander ’s offense features junior q u a r t e r b a c k B r a n d o n Hopp, who has completed 140 passes for 1,916 yards with 16 touchdowns and five interceptions and rushed 45 times for 241 yards and

four touchdowns. “Their junior quarterback is a good passer,” Parnell said. “They’re putting it all together.” Junior running back Darion McClatcher has 145 rushes for 638 yards and six touchdowns, while senior receiver Chris Levy has caught 37 passes for 640 yards and seven touchdowns for Leander. “From watching film of them against other teams, they seem to be pretty balanced,” Marble Falls senior safety Steven Petrosky said. “We’re just going to have to prepare even more this week.” Marble Falls will enter this game with confidence, especially after they way the Mustangs defeated Dripping Springs. All three seniors acknowledged the defense struggled during the first half against the Tigers. Dripping Springs led by as many as 14 points after returning an interception for a touchdown and recovering a fumble on a punt it turned into a touchdown. The Tigers led 38-35 at the half. The Marble Falls seniors credited defensive coordinator Tony
Salazar for his honesty and his encouragement, which led to the defense shutting down Dripping Springs in the second half. After the Mustangs recovered an onside kick on the first play of the third quarter, Jerome finished off the drive by scoring a 26-yard touchdown run for a 42-38 advantage. Then, Petrosky intercepted a pass to give the ball back to the Marble Falls offense. The Tigers didn’t threaten again. The safety said Salazar emphasized the importance of getting a turnover. “‘All it takes is all of you to come together and get it done,’” Petrosky recalled Salazar saying. “‘When the ball comes your way, you need to make a big play.’ I guess I did.” Jerome ended the ensuing driving with a 34-yard touchdown run. By the end of the contest, he rushed 27 times for 297 yards and six touchdowns and caught four passes for 67 yards and a touchdown. He credited his teammates for his best night in a Mustangs uniform. “The offensive line just blocked well and opened up some holes,” he said, “and (senior receiver) Garrett (Gray) was a decoy every time they triple teamed him or double teamed him. The receivers stuck with the plays and kept working until they heard the whistle. We know what’s at stake. It’s our senior year. We’re laying it all out on the line.” jfierro@thepicayune.com

Burnet up against hard-fighting Lampasas in district finale BY JENNIFER FIERRO Picayune Staff
BURNET — The Burnet High School football team is bracing to face Lampasas’ very best during the regular-season finale Nov. 8. The Badgers (3-6, 1-3) have to beat Burnet in its home stadium, 207 E. Ave. B in Lampasas, to claim a playoff spot. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. “It’ll be their Super Bowl,” Burnet head coach Kurt Jones said. “I think it’ll be their only hope at all. I told our players we’re playing somebody that has their backs against the wall and fighting for their lives.” Lampasas is led by senior quarterback Logan Irvin, senior running back Steven Jazdyk and junior athlete Cale Walker. The Badgers are coached by Brian Emerson, who guided Blanco to a Class 2A state title a decade ago. Emerson has brought in some Wing-T offensive formations, which emphasize the run, but the Badgers also have gone to shotgun formations and have a variety of plays from that set, Jones said. “In my experience in playing Lampasas, they play us hard no matter where we are,” he said. “They were totally out of (the playoff race) last year, and they came over here and played us extremely hard. Their kids have a lot of fight in them. We expect nothing less than that.” Burnet seized control in the first quarter of its 35-14 win against Llano on Nov. 1. The win also means the Bulldogs hold the first tiebreaker — head-to-head outcome — if Burnet, Llano and Lampasas have the same

district record in deciding which teams advance to the playoffs. Sophomore running back Brock Foster opened the scoring on a twoyard run, the first of his two rushing touchdowns. He finished with 18 rushes for 149 yards and caught a pass for 25 yards. The Bulldogs outscored the Yellow Jackets in every quarter. “Running the ball against them was a big part of our plan,” Jones said. “Brock is a good, young player for us. He has great speed. We ran him a lot more than what we have been. He’s explosive from different downs. He had a good night.” Senior quarterback Derek Kiser completed 13 of 23 passes for 191 yards and two touchdowns, while senior receiver Blayne Parisher caught eight passes for 137 yards and two touchdowns. “I give Llano credit,” Jones said. “I don’t think we were under any illusions that, in the first quarter, it would be a

Flames use open week to work on mental game BY JENNIFER FIERRO Picayune Staff
MARBLE FALLS — The Faith Academy football team capped another undefeated regular season with a 50-19 victory against Temple Central Texas Christian on Nov. 1. But the Flames’ (10-0, 3-0 in Division III District 3) winning streak is actually at 21, dating to their final regular season contest as a six-man team in 2011. Faith is enjoying an open week before the postseason begins in the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools, so head coach Russ Roberts decided this was a good time to work on something a little unusual. “We’re lightening the load on the physical and working more on the mental preparation,” he said. “It’s film study. We have good effort from our kids. Those mistakes were not understanding what we want or missing focus. We’ll look at film and show them. This is how you improve it a little bit.” He acknowledged the open date came at a good time, noting the roster is down to 30 players. And he believes every athlete would tell him they need a break. “By week 10, I’ve found there are a lot of kids who can’t take the grind,” he said. “There are at least two or three more weeks of games and with our
Faith Academy senior defensive end Matt Manley (right) lunges toward Temple Central Texas quarterback Benjamin Norman during the Flames’ 50-19 win Nov. 1. PHOTO BY PALOMA ORTIZ scrimmages at the beginning of the season, we’ve been working for 14 weeks or three months. High school kids can’t take the constant grind for that period, especially if you’re the type of team that works hard. And we do.” Roberts said the score against CTC is deceiving. The Lions are a much better team than a 31-point victory indicates, he said. CTC actually tied the game at 8-8 in the first quarter. “They alarmed us a little bit, and we realized they could score quickly,” Roberts said. “I said, ‘Guys, we’re in a battle. They came looking for something to make them feel like they could win. They’re not going to stop. And we can’t let them back in.’ I think the kids responded.”
Indeed. The Flames scored the next 42 points and finished the game with 483 yards on the ground. Faith sophomore Jacob Metcalf led with eight rushes for 143 yards, while junior Royale Brown added 12 carries for 118 yards. The senior class has won 19 consecutive games that have been played (two wins are from forfeits), while the sophomore class has a 30-game winning streak dating to its days in the eighth grade, Roberts said. “Our kids are having a good experience,” he said. “People say we’re a small private school, and I can’t argue with that. But I don’t think we have many kids wishing they were somewhere else.” jfierro@thepicayune.com

Llano and Brownwood in district battle for postseason spot BY JENNIFER FIERRO Picayune Staff
LLANO — One playoff berth has been secured in District 8-3A, which means the Llano High School football team still has a chance at the postseason when the Yellow Jackets welcome Brownwood on Nov. 8. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. at Llano Stadium, 400 Texas 71 East. But that also means the Lions (4-5, 2-2) are looking for a win to move on to the playoffs, said Yellow Jackets head coach Craig Slaughter. And he’s “very glad” his squad doesn’t have to travel to play. “Home game in week 10,” he said. “Fighting for your spot. Looking forward to it.” The Lions are led by quarterback Chris Keesee, who has completed 197 of 279 passes for 2,371 yards and 19 touchdowns and two interceptions. Running back Braxton Kilgo has 129 rushes for 700 yards and 14 touchdowns. Receiver Conner Howard has caught 64 pass-
es for 848 yards and eight touchdowns. And though Brownwood is known for its passing attack with the spread offense, Slaughter said it’s the Lions’ run game that has his attention. That’s because of what happened during the Yellow Jackets’ 35-14 loss to Burnet on Nov. 1. The Bulldogs rushed 40 times for 257 yards. “I’d feel better if we’d stopped the run better,” he said. “Scares me to death right now.” Burnet took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. Senior running back Carter Tatsch tied the game on a three-yard run in the second quarter. But the Bulldogs scored two touchdowns before halftime for a 21-7 lead. Llano (4-5, 2-2) scored its last touchdown of the game on a 44-yard pass to senior receiver Isaac Hutto from junior receiver Jalen Bauman. Bauman took the pitch from senior quarterback Layton Rabb before he threw the football. Burnet scored the final two touchdowns. “Burnet played how they always

play,” Slaughter said. “They were very patient offensively. They ran the ball much more than expected. They won the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. We would have had to play really well and get a break or two. We had too many three-and-outs.” Rabb completed 20 of 32 passes for 252 yards. Hutto caught seven passes for 118 yards, while Tatsch
had 15 rushes for 35 yards. If the Jackets defeat Brownwood and Burnet beats Lampasas, then Llano will face defending Class 3A Division I champion Stephenville in the first round of the playoffs. “So it means a ton to Burnet,” Slaughter said.

Horseshoe Bay fishing guide nets new boat and possible career with tournament win BY DANIEL CLIFTON Picayune Editor

HORSESHOE BAY — As the first-day totals rolled in Oct. 3 during the EverStart Series-Texas tournament on Sam Rayburn Reservoir outside Lufkin, Horseshoe Bay fishing guide and angler Brandon Bray knew he had his work cut out for him the next day. “I wasn’t in a good position,” he said. Bray landed two fish for a threepound, 14-ounce total, putting him in 39th place. He had to turn things around if he wanted to earn a spot in the third
day of the competition. “You have to finish in the top 10 after the first two days in order to fish the third,” Bray said. And the third day determines who goes home with the big prizes. On the second day, Bray nailed it. He landed five largemouth bass for a total of 11 pounds and two ounces for a two-day total of 15 pounds. It secured him a spot in day No. 3, when he again landed five fish, this time for 11 pounds and six ounces. The third-day mark earned him first place in the co-angler division of the tournament and a new Ranger Z117

boat with a 90-horsepower motor valued at more than $27,000. “It felt incredible,” he said. “I finished in the top eight for the year in my division, so next year, I got invited for the next FLW series.” That invitation could earn Bray a career as a tournament angler as the FLW series is one of the top professional bass angling tours in the country. Bray, who hails from the Highland Lakes, grew up fishing on Lake LBJ but fell away from angling for a period of his life. A few years ago, Bray again felt the pull of the sport and began focusing on it as a career in more ways than one. His father, Joe Bray, has been a fishing guide on the Highland Lakes, particularly Lake LBJ, for more than three decades. He started Bray’s Fishing Guide Service, which serves Horseshoe Bay. Brandon Bray began guiding alongside his father about five or six years ago but took over the operation this past year. A competitive person by nature, he quickly found his way into the tournament circuit. The Sam Rayburn event was his fourth in the EverStart Series-Texas Division this year. While this year’s circuit kept him in Texas, Bray will add some miles on his vehicle when he moves up to fish the co-angler spot on the FLW Tour. The tour includes stops across the southeastern United States. “Next year, I figured it up, and it looks like just driving to and from all the events is about 10,000 miles,” Bray said. On top of all the guiding and tournaments, Bray and his father even landed a gig on a promotional video for a new lure company: Livingston Lures of San Antonio. The company makes a lure that uses electronics to emit a sound that mimics injured baitfish. It’s a busy lifestyle, between the guiding, competing and just fishing, but Bray looks forward to each day. “I love it,” he said. “The last five or six years I’ve been hitting it hard, and I’ve learned so much. Hopefully, if things go right, I’ll be able to make a career as a professional (bass angler).” Call (512) 796-9917 to book a trip with Bray’s Fishing Guide Service.

2013 HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL PREVIEWS MARBLE FALLS LADY MUSTANGS HEAD COACH: Chris Jost DISTRICT: 25-4A 2012-13 RECORD: 19-14 overall and 5-7 in district for fifth place RETURNERS: Sarah Stripling, Blanca Fonseca, Haley Stephens, Teagan Hall, Emily Klingsporn, Hanna Wall and Reann Hall HOME OPENER: Kerrville Tivy at 7 p.m. Nov. 15 at Max Copeland Gym, 2010 Mustang Drive in Marble Falls 2013 OUTLOOK: The Lady Mustangs needed one more win to qualify for the playoffs in 2012 with three games left. But they didn’t get it. Jost, who is entering his second season at Marble Falls, said he believes the team’s final loss last season has driven his returners to spend time in the weight room, attend basketball camps and play in spring and summer leagues. And he beefed up the pre-district schedule to “hopefully, get us battle-tested for district play.” “With our seven returnees, we return nearly 80 percent of our offense from last year,” he said. Jost said one key ingredient to the Lady Mustangs’ success in 2013 will be the play of their posts, adding the position must contribute more points, rebounds and improved defense. Guard play, thanks to Stripling, Fonseca and Stephens, should be a strength for the squad. Stephens returned after a knee injury that forced her to miss most of December and the entire district campaign in 2012. “She plays so well with Sarah and Blanca,” Jost said. “It adds to the entire team chemistry. She’s a natural fastbreak warrior. We’re looking for her to get down the floor.” Cedar Park Vista Ridge, the defending district champion, is currently ranked No. 4 by the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches, while Leander is No. 8. After those squads, Jost said he believes there’s more parity within the division, which means a fight for the final two playoff spots. “In order to find our way to the postseason, we need to decide that we can play with anyone in our district and then go out and play like it each game.” jfierro@thepicayune.com

This season, he begins his ninth season at the helm and his 40th overall. Faith will lean heavily on junior point guard Denton, who is known for her long-range shooting, and seniors Fisher, Piatek and Cherry. All three are versatile enough to play at the forward, high post and low post positions, depending on personnel on the court. And that will be important as Faith looks for a new shooting guard after Bailey Brinkley graduated last year. Brinkley was known for her drives to the basket from the perimeter and her speed in finishing fast breaks. Just as impressive as Faith’s postseason history is its district winning streak of 77 consecutive victories. That ties English’s longest district winning streak of his career. It began when he was the head coach at Sweeny several decades ago. jfierro@thepicayune.com
since volleyball season ended Oct. 30, he was able to conduct his first practice with the entire team at 6 a.m. the next day. The team is led by seniors Caffey, Hasty, Reasoner and Tisdale. Junior post Williams and Redden also will be big contributors. And if the sophomores improve, the coach said they “will really solidify the guard position.” Downey said the district favorites are Liberty Hill and Burnet. “Our district should be extremely competitive,” he said. “If we continue to work hard and gel, we will be very competitive. We are excited to begin our season.” jfierro@thepicayune.com

When former coach Mike Cavender resigned to take a job at Cedar Park High School, Messer was the choice because of his familiarity with the athletes and the fans. Burnet will be led by junior point guard Scott, who has devoted her offseason to improving her game by playing on select teams. “We have a great nucleus of returners with varsity experience,” Messer said. “We are looking to continue to build upon these returners.” Players expected to contribute include Poe, Lindley, Hullum, Richter, Beckwith and Solis. As a group, the Lady Dawgs have played in a fall league at Marble Falls and other summer leagues. Liberty Hill is the defending district champion, and Brownwood and Burnet qualified for the playoffs in 2012. Four playoff spots are up for grabs this season. “I feel like our district will be much stronger this season,” Messer said. “I believe we will be right in that mix.” jfierro@thepicayune.com

A.J. Vallejo is opening AJ’s in downtown Marble Falls on Nov. 9. The venue will feature the band Vallejo, of which he is a member. The venue also was called AJ’s under a previous owner, but Vallejo says it’s an entire new live music venue under his ownership that will include top Texas and regional touring acts such as Jason Boland on Dec. 4.

MARBLE FALLS — A.J. Vallejo admitted he considered changing the name of his new downtown Marble Falls live music venue, but the thought bounced out of his head almost as quickly as it entered. “It’s my name,” he said about the AJ’s, 909 Third St. Vallejo recently announced the Nov. 9 opening of the bar bearing his name. Doors open at 6 p.m. with live music at 8 p.m. from the band Vallejo, of which he and his brothers are members. The venue also was called AJ’s by the previous owner, but Vallejo has set the club on a new path. One of the first things he wants everyone to know is he’s the owner, and he has no ties with the previous one. Once the wheels began rolling, Vallejo started creating a music venue both musicians and patrons would enjoy. As a musician himself, he had a good idea about what he wanted in his venue. “I want to bring top Texas music here,” Vallejo said. With more than 20 years in the music industry, he’s created a network of contacts that he can tap for acts and support. Already, he’s landed musicians such as Roxy Roca (Nov. 29), Jason

Boland accoustic (Dec. 4) and Dale Watson (Dec. 13). In February, John Corbett takes the stage. Yes, it’s the same John Corbett who played Aidan in “Sex in the City.” The actor also is a singer and a musician. Along the way, patrons can find musicians who performed on top TV programs such as “The Voice” and “American Idol.” “I’ve got Nakia from ‘The Voice’ coming (Nov. 22),” Vallejo said. “He had a big following on the show.” While live music serves as the backbone for the new AJ’s, patrons will find good food and a full bar. What they won’t find is a seedy little joint where the police spend as much time as the customers. “It’s not going to be one of those places where there’s trouble,” Vallejo said. “I’m not going to tolerate people causing problems. This is a place you can bring a date to and have a good time.” And he’s set a “moderate” dress

While he expects the grand opening to draw a crowd, Vallejo said the trick is to create an atmosphere and venue that continues to attract people, something he believes he has done at AJ’s. “I want this place to be an addition to what’s so cool about Marble Falls. We’ll be bringing in some top regional, Texas and even national touring groups, so people can really experience some great live music,” he said. “This is a new business, a new venue, and, this time there’s a real AJ who owns it.

MARBLE FALLS — Maybe the third time is the charm for Robert Linder. On Oct. 22, the Marble Falls conductor and music producer learned he had been nominated for a Grammy award for his work on the jazz CD “Every Day Ain’t Friday” by Gary Weldon. “I’ve only produced three jazz CDs, and each one of them has been nominated,” Linder said. “This is pretty exciting.” Linder was nominated for producer of the year on a jazz album. He helped put together Weldon’s CD, which was released earlier this year by Tierra Studios of Houston. Linder, who is nationally known for his symphony band conducting, had the opportunity several years ago to put together some jazz albums through Tierra Studios. “Every Day Ain’t Friday” was the third behind Larry Slezak’s “No Worries” and Thomas Hulten’s “Slide Side.” Along with Linder’s nomination, “Every Day Ain’t Friday” earned nominations for best instrumental jazz album, best improvisational jazz solo and best engineered non-classical album. While a nomination is one thing,

Marble Falls resident and music producer Robert Linder (right) works with Tierra Studios’ sound engineer Glenn Wheeler on the music for Gary Weldon’s CD ‘Every Day Ain’t Friday.’ Linder recently earned a Grammy nomination for producer of the year for his work on the jazz CD. COURTESY PHOTO winning is an entirely different feat. “Winning is definitely the hard part,” Linder said. But Linder isn’t sitting around and waiting for any awards. The semi-retired conductor hit the road to Milwaukee, where he’ll conduct 33 performances of “Les Miserable” at the Skylight Music Theatre. It’s a return to his symphony and Broadway show work. Linder found himself conducting the show’s symphony after the theater director realized he had overbooked shows and needed an additional conductor. He knew of Linder from past
experiences and reached out to the Marble Falls resident. “He asked if I could help him out, and I agreed,” Linder said. “I’ve conducted in many places but never Milwaukee.” The musical will be performed in the Cabot Theatre, which is part of the Skylight Music Theatre. “It’s a very intimate theater,” Linder said. “There’s not a bad seat in the place.” The 56th annual Grammy Awards is Jan. 26, 2014, in Los Angeles. daniel@thepicayune.com

the Bertram Library, which operates the store. “It has kept the library open even when funding has lessened from the city and (Burnet) County.” The store carries an assortment of men’s, women’s and children’s clothing, shoes and accessories in addition to housewares, glassware, fine crystal, jewelry, books and linens. Also available are unique home-decor items, antiques and collectibles, holiday decorations and bestselling books, including a large selection of cookbooks. “Our volunteers have dedicated many hours and hard work into making the store a success,” Almquist said. “Over the years, volunteers have renovated two buildings, converted library furniture into display cases, salvaged used clothes racks and created and maintained an attractive place for people to shop with the upmost of courtesy.” Along with Almquist, the staff of volunteers, many of whom have been long-standing supporters, include Gayle Atkins, Doris Pearson, Pat Easley, Carol Allen, Laura Orr, Ellon Gustafson and Lillie Faye Hopkins. Also volunteering are Suzanne Strackbein, Rosie Hiers, Deanie Smith, Alta Bird, Guileen Odiorne, Elsa and Junior Lara, Pam Schlumpberger, Sharon Burgomy and Margaret Ibarra. This year marks the thrift store’s 30th anniversary.
Volunteers at the Bertram Library Thrift Store include Friends of the Bertram Library president Jane Almquist (front), Pat Easly, Suzanne Strackbein, Doris Pearson (back, left) and Carol Allen (back, right).The store helps fund the Joann Cole Mitte Memorial Library, 170 N. Gabriel St. in Bertam. COURTESY PHOTO The Bertram Library Thrift Shop was founded Aug. 1, 1983, by Cora Ellen and Leo Coffman to provide much-needed support for the town’s library. The store was first housed in a small back room of a historic brick building in downtown Bertram. It was damp, dark and crowded and got by with minimal supplies and equipment. Cora Ellen even mended and washed clothes donated to the store at her home. The store was relocated in 1991 to a slightly larger, more prominent space in an adjacent building and facing the town’s main street. There, Ellon and Lamar Gustafson renovated the space. In 2011, when the library moved into a new building at 170 N. Gabriel
St., the thrift store relocated to its current spot, a larger space next door to the library in the same historic building. This time, Don and Gayle Atkins handled the task of refurbishing and remodeling the new location. The current site once housed a leather and saddle shop, a grocery store and a beauty shop, according to Ann Brock, the library’s director for the past 25 years. Donations in gently used condition may be dropped off during the store’s hours, which are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Wednesday-Friday and 10 a.m.1 p.m. Saturday. For more information, call the thrift store at (512) 355-2609.

‘Coming Home’ highlights need for foster and adoption families in Highland Lakes BY DANIEL CLIFTON Picayune Editor
BURNET — As the Burnet County attorney, Eddie Arredondo sees firsthand the importance of a strong, local foster-care system. But as the number of youths needing foster care outpaces the number of local foster families, he watches as many children leave the immediate area for that necessary and important care. “If we can keep the kids here in our own community, while the adults and courts work out what’s going to happen in their future, it would be so much better for the kids and everybody involved,” Arredondo said. “We know that kids who are removed from their homes and placed in foster care do much better when they can stay in their own area, hopefully, even in their own school.” The key is finding more foster families. The Marble Falls Daybreak Rotary Club is hosting an Adoption Awareness Day — which also highlights the need for foster families — 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Nov. 9 at the Burnet County Courthouse Annex, 1701 E. Polk St. (Texas 29). Last spring, the Rotarians began a push for more awareness within the Highland Lakes about the need for foster families and adoption. Arredondo explained under Texas law, when Child Protective Services removes a child from his or her home because of abuse or neglect, the courts and state have about one year to find a permanent solution to the youth’s care. “This can mean reunification with the parents or, even, adoption,” he said. The year between those two dates can be tumultuous for the child as the courts and the adults try to sort it out. During the process, a judge might assign the child a Court Appointed Special Advocate, who basically represents that youth and acts as the court’s eyes and ears regarding the child during all the proceedings. Stability is what these children need, Arredondo said. Ed Cole, a Daybreak Rotary member, said the purpose of the Adoption Awareness Day is to help the community understand the need for fos-

ter families and adoptive parents and explain how people can get involved. “There’s a tremendous need for foster parents and people interested in adoption right here in our community,” Cole said. The event’s theme is “Coming Home.” Arredondo said the plan is to create a homecoming feel to highlight the importance of a stable home for these children. There will be fun activities scattered throughout the day. Houston Texans cheerleader Kelli Harral will attend, and people can have their photos taken with her. At 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., officials will hold informational meetings for people interested in foster care or adoption. And Judge Guildford Jones will actually formalize several adoptions. “We have about 11 children who will be adopted by six different families,” Arredondo said. “It’s a good opportunity for people to see the excitement and joy in these children’s and their families’ lives.” Along with getting the public out, the Rotarians hope Highland Lakes community leaders attend. Cole explained one of the goals of the club is to continue emphasizing the importance of foster care and adoption, even after the event is over. One way to do that is to get community leaders interested so they’ll go back to their groups, organizations and churches and spread the message. “We’re really sincere about this,” Cole said. “It’s something we plan to continue to work on.” Arredondo agreed. “Our club is committed long term to this,” he said. “And it’s not just the awareness campaign. We’ll support (the families, foster organizations and CPS) any way we can. They need to know the community is here to support them.” Along with the awareness day, the Daybreak Rotary Club is creating a speaker pool for other organizations that want to learn more about foster care and adoption. Those groups can contact the Rotarians to schedule a speaker. Call Arredondo at (512) 756-5476 for more information on Coming Home or foster care. daniel@thepicayune.com

are families here in the Highland Lakes who don’t have the resources to have a “traditional” holiday. So on Nov. 20 at the KBEY 103.9 FM studio in Burnet on the Courthouse Square, people can help out by donating non-perishable food items or financial donations during The Picayune/ KBEY 103.9 FM Radio Picayune Food Drive benefitting LACare of Burnet and The Helping Center of Marble Falls. “This isn’t just about KBEY and The Picayune helping out, this is a chance for the entire community to lend a hand,” said Amber Weems, president of Victory Publishing Co. Ltd., the parent company of The Picayune and KBEY. People will be able to drive by the studio and drop off items and even meet on-air personalities such as Ed Chandler and Kay Baker of “The Wake Up Call.” So get ready for Texas Best Country’s big food drive. Pick up future editions of The Picayune or tune in to KBEY 103.9 FM to find out more. editor@thepicayune.com
MEADOWLAKES — While the second annual Highland Lakes Christmas Caddy Golf Tournament is still a month away, organizers hope to rekindle and stir up interest in the event, which benefits area families in need. “This tournament is an endeavor of the entire community,” organizer Stephen Galan said. “It’s not just one church, we have nine that are helping out. And we have many, many area businesses and people committed to the project.” Last year, the event raised more than $10,000 that helped 61 area children and their families with food, clothing and even toys for Christmas. This year’s tournament is Dec. 7 at Hidden Falls Golf Club, 220 Meadowlakes Drive. The four-person scramble starts at noon. The entry fee is $50 per person and includes green fees, a cart rental, range balls and a dinner. All of the proceeds, however, go to the cause and none for administrative costs. “We use the tournament as a vehicle,” Galan said. “The golf tournament is great, but it’s what we can accomplish through the tournament. What’s beautiful about this event is the entire community — golfers, business people, the school district and churches — have an opportunity to come together for this one cause.” After the tournament, organizers will use the funds to purchase food, clothing and some Christmas toys as well as pay utilities for several local struggling families. Along with golfers, people can lend support through hole sponsorships and other ways such as helping assemble the gifts for the families. And while golfers can enjoy a round of 18 on Dec. 7, Galan said they’ll know when they step off the course that it was never about the golf. “It won’t be, ‘I just played golf,’ that day,” he said. “You’ll feel you were a part of something big, something special — you know, something that made a difference in people’s lives.” Contact Galan at stephen@lakeshoreschurch.com or Jeff Wilson at Hidden Falls Golf Club at (830) 693-3300 or jwilson@hiddenfallsgolfclub.com for more information or to register.
