The Lower Colorado River Authority’s board of directors Tuesday improved the possibility that more water will be kept in the Highland Lakes if, as many expect, a record-setting drought carries over into 2014.

The directors, in a contentious 8-7 vote, approved a request by the authority’s staff to ask the regulatory Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for an emergency drought order that would

allow water for downstream rice farmers to be curtailed next year for a third straight year.

The rice farmers, except for those in one of the four irrigation districts in the three coastal counties of Matagorda, Wharton and Colorado, will be curtailed if the reservoirs are below 1.1 million acre feet on that date.

The 1.1 million trigger point is lower than the 1.4 million figure that most

Highland Lakes stakeholders wanted and far below the 1.8 million figure that Burnet County Commissioners asked for in a resolution they sent to the LCRA directors.

But it was significantly higher than the 850,000acre feet trigger that was in the emergency orders that resulted in curtailment of stored water from the lakes for the rice farmers in 2012 and this year.

The 850,000 figure barely

kept enough water in the reservoirs this year to avoid the region slipping to the 600,000 acre feet level that would have necessitated LCRA declaring a drought worse than the drought of record and imposing pro-rata cuts in water usage by all of its firm water customers including the cities of Burnet, Marble Falls, Austin, Cedar Park, Leander and others.

The combined storage in the reservoirs reached

By Lance Reaves Highland Lakes Newspapers The Llano Independent School District’s Board of Trustees Monday heard a presentation on possible facility improvements across the district.

Dean Sharp addressed the board representing the new Facility Planning Committee. The focus group is comprised of approximately 23 members of the community who met regularly the past 7 weeks to review the LISD facilities and identify possible improvements.

The total cost for the proposed upgrades was $41.2 million, including a new football stadium at Llano High School.

“These numbers are fairly conservative, but I think we have enough in there,” he said.

“We have make sure to control costs in the design process and not let that overburden our budget.”

The Facility Planning Committee suggested the board consider a May 2014 bond election, Sharp said.

After the committee’s review, Sharp identified Llano Elementary as the campus with highest need for renovation. In particular, he noted the safety and security of the students as well as the campus’ age. He described two options—demolishing and replacing the “main” building and fifth grade wing or replacing LES in its entirety—to help accomplish this.

The Highland Lakes are the principal water supply for more than a million people in Central Texas and, one Austin official said earlier Tuesday, a key to a local $100 billion economy.

Rice farmer allies on the board, who fought hard for another 850,000 acre feet trigger point, were bitterly disappointed and several LCRA ... see Page 7A

Hundreds gathered at Llano High School Nov. 13 for the celebratory bonfire. The evening helped honor the Yellow Jacket football team that had punched a playoff ticket the previous Friday and was preparing for its eventual loss to Glen Rose. For the complete game recap, see page 1B.

The Llano Economic Development Corporation Tuesday reported positive progress on the show barn and discussed in closed session the possibility of hiring new personnel.

Following approximately 15 minutes in executive session, board member Roger Pinckney made the first motion on possibly hiring an executive director of the economic development corporation.

“Due to the restraints of our budget, I’ll make a motion that we take no action on the item at this time,” he said. “I just don’t think we have the money right now.”

President Fred Smith said Mayor Mikel Virdell had requested the corporation hire an executive director.

He later clarified the purpose of the closed session was to discuss the potential need for the position as well as the job’s description. He said the board had no candidates in mind at the time.

Treasurer Stan Venable explained the position’s responsibilities would have included oversight of the event’s center. Due to the center’s rapid success, he said someone working fulltime could benefit the volunteers operating it now.

The event is among the most documented in American history. President John F. Kennedy’s tragic visit to Dallas in 1963 has spawned countless books, movies and television shows.

Nov. 22 marks 50 years since the assassination of the nation’s 35th president.

As the decades have passed, the theories have multiplied and the culture has changed, but for many, including numerous in Llano, the incident remains as vivid as the day it occurred.

Mayor Mikel Virdell recalled sitting in his seventh grade class in Llano when his teacher told her students “something really bad had happened.”

“They moved all of us into the library, which was upstairs in the O’Henry building, and that’s when the principal told us the president had been killed,” he said.

Llano resident Cheryl

Crabtree remembered working in her high school shorthand class in Dayton, Texas, when she said the intercom unexpectedly flipped on.

“All of the sudden a voice came on and said that the president had been shot, and then our principal came on and said the news out of Dallas was the president and Gov. (John) Connally have been shot,” she said.

Former District Attorney Sam Oatman, then a college student at Texas A&M, was traveling home to Llano for Thanksgiving when word reached his ears.

“I turned off the highway coming out of Taylor, I took a left, and right there at that curve is when I heard about it on the radio,” he said.

Myrna Mund, another Llano resident, said she was home ironing when the news flashed across the television.

Despite hearing the report at different times and places, each of these Llano citizens Kennedy ... see Page 7A

A local business is still recuperating from a Nov. 5 robbery during which ownership said approximately $22,000 worth of retail was stolen.

Frank Rowell, owner of Enchanted Rocks & Jewelry on the Courthouse Square, said he walked into his store Nov. 6 to find the back window smashed and the bars across it pried open.

“It had to have been

someone real small,” he said.

“They bent the bar back and then crawled through. How, I can’t begin to imagine.”

According to Rowell, six trays of 60 silver rings— valued at $25 to $35 per ring—as well as three other ring trays—valued at approximately $30 each—were stolen.

“It was about $22,000 retail,” he said.

Rowell filed a report with the Llano Police Department.

Police Chief Kevin Ratliff

said on Tuesday they have two suspects in custody, with evidence linking them to this crime, for their believed involvement in other burglaries in the county. However, he added the investigation is still ongoing and no charges have been filed.

If unable to reacquire the stolen rings, Rowell said they are irreplaceable.

“A lot of that stuff is just no longer available. We’re Rocks ... see Page 7A Lance Reaves/Staff

Happy to help

Pregnancy center receives state grant

By Lance Reaves Highland Lakes Newspapers A pregnancy resource center in Kingsland recently received a $1,750 grant from the state of Texas in an effort to help promote adoption.

The Highland Lakes Pregnancy Resource Center was one of 13 nonprofit organizations to receive the inaugural round of grants. The funds were raised by sales of the “Choose Life” specialty license plates that were authorized by the Texas Legislature under a 2011 law.

“We are very happy and excited,” said the center’s Executive Director Dolores

Bacon-Whatley. “Even a small grant from the state of Texas is a privilege, and it’s exciting to know they are so encouraging of what we do.”

The license plates debuted in November 2011. Of the $30 Texas drivers pay for the plate, $22 is deposited in the “Choose Life” account.

At the end of the 2013 fiscal year, Texas drivers had purchased almost 2,300 “Choose Life” license plates, and the account’s balance was $52,481.61.

Bacon-Whatley said the resource center applied for the grant and were required to meet several guidelines and qualifications. She said

they plan to use the funds for advertising as well as other expenses to help provide services for women considering adoption, including transportation for pregnant mothers to adoption centers in Austin.

“It’s the mother’s decision, we just present her with the information,” Bacon-Whitely said. “Adoption can be a very rewarding and loving experience, and we try to convey that.”

The Highland Lakes Pregnancy Resource Center was established in 2010. Bacon-Whitely said they have helped over 400 women during that time.

Community Local contestants on Family Feud Special Olympians shine at tournament

By Lance Reaves Highland Lakes Newspapers Two recent Llano residents will appear on the popular game show Family Feud this week to compete for a chance to win $20,000.

Kendrah and Robert McDonald lived in Llano when they were selected for the show in August. They recently relocated to Mason.

The couple will participate alongside Robert’s ex-wife, Dottie, and daughters Michelle and Melissa.

The Steve Harvey hosted game show will air Friday, Nov. 22.

“I’ve watched Family Feud for a long time and said something to Robert about going on there,” explained Kendrah McDonald.

“I looked on the website for Family Feud and saw they were having a casting call in Austin.”

After discussions with her family, Kendrah said everyone was onboard.

“We figured the whole wife and ex-wife thing would be a hook they (the show’s producers) would be interested in,” she said.

The producers evidently enjoyed what they saw from the McDonalds, Kendrah noted, because she soon received an email asking when the family would be available to film. After that, the McDonalds flew to the show’s location in Atlanta, Georgia.

Robert and Kendrah McDonald, far right, were Llano residents when selected to compete in Family Feud. They will compete with (from l-r) Dottie McDonald, Michelle Michalek and Melissa McDonald.

However, the hard part was far from over.

“Once you get there, you still aren’t necessarily going to be on the show. You go through an audition, and you have to do well for a chance to be on the show,” McDonald explained.

After the audition, Kendrah said they finally discovered their selected when the producers told her family to hurry backstage, put on a nametag and change their shoes.

“We were very excited,” she said. “You don’t have a whole lot of time to be nervous because they film a show and then they pick the next person.”

Kendrah said watching the show in person compared to on television was

“surreal.” She also described the unforeseen difficulties they encountered.

“When you’re sitting at home it’s really easy, but when you’re there and you’ve been sitting in the audience for two hours, you’ve got the rules to follow and you have to remember to be excited,” she said. “There’s just a whole lot that goes into it than just having an answer.”

Despite the occasional rollercoaster of emotions, Kendrah said the McDonalds had a blast participating on the show.

“It’s a lot of fun, we really enjoyed ourselves and really appreciated being able to hang out with the Family Feud crew and listen to Steve Harvey,” she said.

Care packages for our military The Llano Military News Group is getting ready to send out our care packages to our soldiers again for “Christmas From the Home Front”.

These wonderful people are someone’s son or daughter, mom or dad, husband or wife, brother or sister or grandson or granddaughter. Whether you agree with where they are or the job they are assigned to do, these are the people we depend on every day to keep us safe. These people are willing to stand in harms way for each and every one of us!

So, we at The Llano Military News Group need your help to show these brave men and women that we care about and appreciate them by sending Christmas presents.

We now include anyone

serving in the military that live in Llano or graduated from Llano High School. If you know of anyone please let us know so that we may honor them as well. Please contact us at P.O Box 62, Llano, Texas 78643 or visit our Facebook page.

We have an account at Llano National Bank for monetary dona-

tions. Home cooked cookies and things are always good but please keep in mind they must be packaged to mail already. We have a hard time keeping these items in one piece. So wrap them tight maybe put them in individual boxes or containers so that they do not come apart.

Eagle Scout project receives green light

By Lance Reaves Highland Lakes Newspapers Robinson Park Lake will receive a new fishing pier after City Council Monday approved the project proposed by a local Eagle Scout candidate.

Jase Hinton is member of the Boy Scouts of America, Troop 301, in Llano. As part of his Eagle Scout service project, he told council members he plans to coordinate and construct this

fishing pier. He said the pier would be accessible to children as well as those physically challenged.

The local Boy Scout described his earliest memories fishing with his then 82-year-old uncle, including one circumstance where his uncle fell as he walked down a rocky bank to the water.

“Remembering this scene helped me realize that I want to do something to help those with limited mo-

bility enjoy access to the water in a safer condition,” he said while reading his letter addressed to the council.

Hinton is responsible for raising the funds. He said he hopes to have the project completed next fall.

In other discussion, City Finance Director Lynda Kuder said Llano’s financial report for October was “on track as normal.” She also said the utility office and court will soon have credit card machines.

Former Mayor Bob Lambert was honored both during the Horseshoe Bay council meeting Tuesday and in a special ceremony that followed.

Newly sworn-in Mayor Steve Jordan thanked Lambert for his service to city and community.

“I don’t need to say a lot about Bob — you already known everything I could tell you,” he said to the

crowd. “The council really does appreciate you, Bob. Thank you for your leadership and all your sleepless nights.”

Councilmember Craig Haydon was voted by council to take the position as Mayor Pro-Tem, and Michele Shackelford was made Chief Information Officer. In a move of unification, former councilmember Tom Schmersahl, who lost the race for mayor, was nominated to rejoin the council.

“It is my desire to re-

move all notions of divisiveness,” Jordan said.

“Our community deserves a united council.”

Schmersahl accepted the nomination, but was not prepared to be sworn-in during the meeting.

Following the meeting, Lambert was honored by Horseshoe Bay Resort Vice Chairman and President Ron Mitchell with the presentation of a plaque bearing the phrase, “The key strength of our city is in its people.”

Obituaries Dennis W. Martin

Dec. 23, 1949 ~ Oct. 15, 2013 Dennis W. Martin, 63, entered this world in Dallas on Dec. 23, 1949 and went home to heaven on Oct. 15, 2013.

He is survived by his loving wife, Jane Kelley Martin; mother Helen Ray; sisters Caylen Ray, Judith Martin, Robyn Stroud, Melissa Caudle, and numerous beloved cousins, nieces, nephews, and relations, as well as many dear friends.

He was preceded in death by his father and beloved step-mom, Al and Sue Martin, and by his stepfather, Bill Ray, sister Livia Lynn Martin, brother Wayne Martin, and a multitude of cherished relatives, Martin friends and comrades-in-arms.

Dennis served with pride and distinction in the United States Marine Corps from 1967 until 1977, when he was medically retired due to injuries sustained in combat. A highly decorated Marine, Dennis was awarded the Purple Heart with two gold stars, the Combat Action ribbon, and the Republic of Vietnam Meritorious Unit Commendation (Gallantry Cross Medal Color with Palm), among numerous awards and commendations. Following discharge from the Corps, he graduated magna cum laude from East Texas State University, eventually earning Masters’ degrees in Sociology, Communication and Theatre.

Upon moving to Burnet County, Dennis became an active and respected member of the community. He proudly served with the Highland Lakes Honor Guard, was unforgettable in his long-time role as “Black Jack Kelley” with the Burnet Gunfighters, and entertained audiences in numerous productions at Hill Country Community Theatre.

In his time, Dennis wore many hats. He was a lover and a fighter, a teacher, a preacher, a leader of men, a servant of God, a slayer of dragons and a rescuer of distressed damsels. He was a genuine American hero in every sense of the word, and the world is a better place for having had him in it.

The Highland Lakes Honor Guard is hosting a memorial for Dennis at Clements-Wilcox in Marble Falls on Thursday, Nov. 21, 2013 at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family would welcome donations for building materials and other expenses.

Dewey Mack Baker July 22, 1926 ~ Nov.16, 2013

Dewey Mack Baker passed away peacefully on Nov.16, surrounded by his loving family. He was 87 years old.

Born on July 22, 1926, in Abilene, Dewey was the eldest son of the late Ruby and Joe Baker. He attended Southwestern University in Georgetown on a football scholarship where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education and was a member of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity. He later continued his education earning a Master’s degree in Administrative Education at Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas.

Part of the Greatest Generation, at the age of 17, he proudly enlisted Baker to serve his country in the United States Marine Corps 1st Platoon B Company 26th Regiment 5th Division. He landed at Iwo Jima on Feb. 20, 1945.

Dewey enjoyed a long and rewarding career as a coach and educator. He held many positions in cities across Texas, the most notable being Superintendent of the Johnson City, Texas School District. Two of his greatest joys were serving for 30 years as a Texas Relays Official and as an official for the track and field events of the Atlanta 1996 Summer Olympics.

Among his many interests and hobbies were sports, hunting, fishing and ranching. He had a larger than life personality, a lively storytelling ability and was affectionately known by his grandchildren and great grandchildren as “Big Daddy”.

He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Sallye Baker of Llano; two children, Frances Kurio of Austin, and Boyd Baker and wife Karla of Spicewood; five grandchildren, Jacquelyn Pienciak and husband Brian of Dallas, Texas; Caroline Kurio of Austin; Rebecca McKenna and husband Lee of Colorado Springs, Colo.; Kara Baker of Austin; Bailey Baker of Austin; two great grandchildren, Katelyn and Lane of Colorado Springs, Colo.; sisters Gayle Ragland of Austin, and Joline Wiley of Kenedy; brother-in-law Andy Smith and wife Betty of Llano; sister-inlaw Gladys Meeks of Port Lavaca; and many nieces, nephews,

Doris Roebuck Hansen, formerly of Sunrise Beach, died Oct.26, 2013 in Fredericksburg at the age of 94 1/2. She was the first-born child of Dr. Fred G. Roebuck and Blanche Stokes Roebuck, who predeceased her.

Doris was born in Bearden, Ark. on Jan. 27, 1919. She lived her early years in Little Rock, Prescott and Pine Bluff, Arkansas. In 1936 she attended Hendrix College where she graduated from in May 1940 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in music. In 1944, Doris moved to Ft. Smith, Arkansas where her family was living and her father was beginning his 21 year ministry at the First Methodist Church. While Hansen living in Ft. Smith, Doris met her sweetheart at the USO at Ft. Chaffee. Byron and Doris were married December 22 of that year and enjoyed 58 years of marriage until his death Dec. 18, 2003.

Those who knew Doris might describe her as feisty, independent and stubborn. She had a zest for life and was always up for a good adventure, but most of all, she loved her family and loved the Lord. One could often find her cooking in the kitchen while singing her favorite hymns, spreading her joy to those around her.

Survivors include her children, Craig Hansen (Rahni) of Colleyville, Paige Hansen of Palmer, Ark., and Laurie Witt (Mark) of Mason. She is also survived by her brothers Lewis Roebuck (Patsy) of Scottsdale, Ariz., Dan Roebuck (Missy) of Ft. Smith, Ark., her sister Virginia Guthrie of Camden, Ark., 15 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.

In addition to her parents and husband, Doris was preceded in death by a daughter, Dori Seitz, son-in-law Mark White, brother Fred Roebuck Jr. and brother in law Dr. James Guthrie.

A celebration of Doris’ life will be held on Nov. 30, 2013, 3 p.m. at the Hilda Methodist Church in Mason.

Tim Mudd, Auctioneer, Texas License No. 16527

Glenna Diane Kloke April 24, 1938 – Nov. 8, 2013

Born to Bob and Eleanor Welden, Glenna grew up in Iowa Falls, Iowa.

In college, she met and then married her life’s love, Frank, on June 14, 1959. She graduated with an education degree with a biology major from the University of Missouri. She supported her family by teaching a number of years while Frank completed graduate work and military service. She then focused on raising her family.

Following Frank’s career path, she moved her family 20 times in her lifetime. As a third generation P.E.O., she always found her next Kloke chapter soon after arriving. She adopted the motto, “Bloom Where You Are Planted.” She treasured her friendships made in each location and many lasted for the rest of her life. She especially enjoyed the several years she spent with her family in Tomabochi, Japan blending into their culture. Her lifelong dream of an African Safari following the migrations through Kenya and Tanzania was fulfilled 20 years ago. She traveled widely and Alaska was her favorite getaway.

One of the stops along her path was San Antonio, where she fell in love with the Texas Hill Country. So when retirement arrived in Charlotte, N.C., she immediately headed to Horseshoe Bay where she spent the last 16 years among the bluebonnets and wonderful friends.

Glenna was a voracious reader and cherished the touch and feel of a real book, no Kindle for her. She had a passion for rescuing Golden Retrievers and always had two of them at her side. She will always be remembered for her quick wit, striking intellect and indomitable will. She was a member of The Church at Horseshoe Bay, Chi Omega Sorority, and 56 years in P.E.O. She is survived by her husband of 54 years, Frank Kloke of Horseshoe Bay; daughter, Katherine Vitale, her husband Richard and grandsons Jacob, Matthew and Benjamin of Parker, Colo.; son Daniel Kloke and his wife Jennifer, and grandsons Thomas and Gregory of Mountain View, Calif.; brother Bradley Welden and his wife Nancy of Iowa Falls, IA; sister-in-law Ellen Scalzo of La Quinta, Calif.; beloved Golden Retrievers Tucker and Maggie, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Celebration of Life services will be held at The Church at Horseshoe Bay, 600 Hi Ridge Road, Horseshoe Bay on Nov. 22, 2013 at 11 a.m. with Reverend Johnny White officiating. Private inurnment will be held at the Horseshoe Bay Mausoleum on Nov. 23, 2013. An online guest register may be signed at www.PutnamCares.com.

Memorials, if desired, may be made to The Church at Horseshoe Bay Endowment Fund.

Harold ‘Tex’ T. Wilder Nov. 15, 1940 ~ Nov. 8, 2013

In 1967, he worked for Texas Forest Service before starting a distinguished 34 year career at Houston Lighting and Power. He served terms as president of two professional organizations, the International Society of Arbiculture, Texas Wilder Chapter and the Utility Arborists.

He retired in Marble Falls in 2001. He is survived by his wife Ann, a daughter, Suzzette Wilder of Seattle, WA and grandson Zachary Perry. A sister Sharon Pierce, two brothers George and Steve Wilder, seven nieces and nephews and their children, numerous cousins, and a huge and wide spread family of friends.

This is the third of four articles providing additional information regarding the City Council discussion and possible actions on the remote read metering system. As I have stated previously, this topic has been being discussed by Mayors and City Councils for over eight years, and the current Council has been diligent in researching all aspects including the positive and negative of such a system.

In the City Council meetings, the discussion has revolved around cost of the system, the length of time to recoup the cost, and reduction in day-today operation cost. Of course, all of the aforementioned is important; however there is one major component that has not been brought to the forefront as much, which is water and electricity conservation. As everyone is aware, water is a necessity, and as the demand for water goes up, and then we must take steps to account for

Brenton Lewis Llano City Manager each and every gallon. The City currently has incentives in place to promote conservation, such as landscape conversion, irrigation redesign, rainwater harvesting, and replacement of water efficient plumbing fixtures.

The next step is to address the water unaccounted for, being the difference between water placed into the system for distribution and water that is consumed. To determine the amount of water loss, the City takes a

designated time period to compare treatment records, leak records, and consumption records.

The City Water Department, in a one-year time period, placed into the distribution system a little more than 209,535,000 gallons of potable water, while water consumption and use records, including leaks, accounted for 176,500,000 gallons of water.

These figures indicate there is unaccounted for over 33 million gallons of water in a year, or about 16 percent. With a radio read system in place, the City can accurately compare daily the amount treated to the amount consumed, enabling the City crews to identify the cause of the difference. The City also needs to address the line loss in the electrical distribution system, which the proposed new system will assist in addressing. In the last three years, the line loss has been changing the electrical meters, can also decrease line loss by ensuring consumption

is being properly recorded. The line loss on the electrical side averages about 11 percent, or about 5,000,000 kWh. With the assistance of the new meters, the City will be able to determine if all the electricity being consumed is being purchased, and it will be able to notify the staff if a meter has been removed from the system, which will allow the City to determine the cause of the removal.

The City of Llano has scheduled a “Public Forum” to provide another avenue for the public to present information to the Council regarding the possible transition to a remote read system.

The “Public Forum” will be at the LanTex at 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 25.

Please make plans to attend the forum.

As always please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns as we all work together to continue to have a quality of life we all want in Llano.

Prop 6 vote shows bold thinking Reindeer Fun Run to be held Dec. 7 On Nov. 5, Texans created a legacy. With overwhelming approval, voters passed Proposition 6, ensuring that our state’s water needs will be met for years to come. In stark contrast to the dysfunction in Washington, D.C., Texas shows that when partisan politics can be put aside, extraordinary things can be accomplished.

Texans are known for their tenacity, bold thinking and relentless spirit. The decision by the Texas Legislature to pass this landmark legislation reflects those virtues. When Texans are confronted by a challenge, they rise to conquer it; they don’t run from it. That’s why members from both parties, from every corner of this great state, came together to

Proposition 6 will be the key to financing water infrastructure projects for the next 50 years. The funds allocated will provide our state with a reliable source of potable water and will ensure business and industry has a reliable water source to keep the Texas economy humming.

Investing in water infra-

structure is an economic engine in itself, generating a remarkable return on investment. The Texas Water Development Board has estimated that every $1 million invested in water projects creates $1.75 million in sales revenues in the construction, engineering, materials and supporting sectors, $889,000 in gross state domestic product and $44,000 in state and local tax receipts.

I’m extremely proud to have been a part of Proposition 6. Texans came together to ensure that our children, grandchildren and generations of Texans would be given the opportunity to prosper because of the important decision made on Election Day.

Kennedy From Page 1A described a similar reaction to the news.

“I was really shocked,” Oatman said. “I didn’t have to pull over, but I slowed down. I just couldn’t believe it.”

Mund also felt shocked, and said she spent the day “glued” to her television like most Americans.

“We never thought anything like that could possibly happen here,” she said.

Crabtree said the students at her school were dismissed and sent home after legendary broadcaster Walter Cronkite announced the president’s death.

“It was horrible, the sadness and the crying—practi-

LCRA From Page 1A times came close to throwing outright temper tantrums as they lost a series of votes on amendments and amendments to amendments, most of them by an 8-7 count.

“I haven’t heard one scintilla about an imminent threat to public health and safety,” Matagorda County Director John Dickerson said at one point.

“This is grossly unfair. Everyone has to give up something,” said San Saba director Michael McHenry, who continued his by-now-not-surprising pattern of voting with the rice farmer directors and against Highland Lakes interests.

Travis County director Scott Spears presented the LCRA staff’s recommendation for

cally wailing—that was going on was horrible. The reaction from the teachers and the students was just terrible,” she said.

Virdell remembered the students in Llano discussing the incident for months afterwards.

“It was sort of imbedded in our memory and didn’t go away,” he said. “It was such a devastating event.”

Each said the time lapse, now half a century, doesn’t seem as far away as it sounds.

“It just seems like yesterday, almost,” Crabtree said.

“It’s such a vivid memory and I don’t think I’ll ever forget where I was that day.”

“After seeing all the pictures and write ups in the paper, it brings back fresh memories like it wasn’t that long ago,”

Mund added.

Oatman specifically remembers feeling a unique sense of patriotism in the days following, but at the same time, he said he still can’t forget the effect the president’s death had on America’s youth regardless of their political affiliations.

“The impact doesn’t normally hit the youth like it does older people,” he said. “But that hit every young person I knew. I don’t think there was a soul that didn’t think that was anything but sad. Everybody talked about it.”

Crabtree said the day still sticks in her mind as well.

“I have been to Dealey Plaza, I have stood where the motorcade drove, I have been in front of the Texas School Depository, and after all these years, it still seems surreal,” she said.

a 1.1 million acre feet trigger point as a motion, but Dickerson quickly moved to postpone the vote.

That was defeated, 8-7, with Burnet County director John Franklin, Llano County directors Buddy Schrader and Ray Gill, LCRA board chairman Tim Timmerman of Travis County, Spears, Blanco County director Tom Martine, Mills County director Jett Johnson and Blanco County director Bobby Lewis, voting against it.

That coalition held together on several other votes with Lewis, who joined the board last summer, the key vote because most observers were unsure of his leanings.

The next key vote came when Dickerson moved to amend Spears’ motion by changing the trigger point to 850,000 acre feet.

That, too, failed on an 8-7 vote and set off a near tantrum

by Wharton County director Scott Arbuckle.

“This motion was initiated by political pressure on the staff,” Arbuckle said. “This says that if you live in the lower basin you are expendable and non-essential to the state of Texas. This is horrible.”

Arbuckle, visibly angry, then introduced an amendment he said was designed to make sure all stakeholders in the river basin shared in the pain and sacrifice.

“All domestic use contracts with firm customers should be suspended as long as water to the farmers is curtailed,” Arbuckle said. “All municipal customers should be required to eliminate all non-essential use and all of the pass-through lakes — Inks Lake, Lake LBJ and Lake Marble Falls — should be lowered by two feet to keep more water in Lake Buchanan.”

That amendment failed on a 9-6 vote with McHenry joining the no voters.

With several other amendments finally dispensed with, the directors finally got around to voting on Spears’ motion with the rice farmer allies on the board in a thoroughly foul mood.

“You’re going to kill them (the rice farmers),” Fayette County director Lori Berger said.

Colorado County director Steve Balas, who earlier interrupted Schrader of Horseshoe Bay, saying, “That’s terrible, Buddy. That’s just awful.” He griped that the rice farmers were shouldering all of the burden caused by the drought and the dwindling water supply in the river basin.

“They (lakes stakeholders) don’t want to share in the pain at all and I don’t appreciate it,” Balas said.

“It’s embarrassing,” Berger said.

Before the final vote on the Spears motion, Schrader offered one final amendment, substituting 1.4 million for the 1.1 million acre feet trigger point.

The board had no appetite to take the trigger point any higher, however, and the amendment failed 13-2.

“I’m floored,” Dickerson said of Schrader’s amendment. “It’s obviously punitive.”

Spears said the directors did not take the vote lightly.

“This is agonizing,” he said. “I just don’t think we can gamble with more than a million people’s lives and a hundred billion dollar economy in Central Texas. I can’t take that risk.”

From Page 1A Sharp also noted numerous potential improvements at the district’s other campuses.

These included a secure entry to the building at Packsaddle, creating adequate science labs and building a new competition gym at Llano Junior High, and several maintenance upgrades at Llano High School.

District-wide improvements included relocating the baseball, softball and football fields to LHS. Estimated costs for each campus were $11.2 million for LES, $900,000 for Packsaddle, $8.4 million for LJH and $605,000 at LHS. The proposed cost for relocating the football stadium was $11.2 million.

Smith added the individual would also be responsible for developing Llano.

City Manager Brenton Lewis later said the only role city staff played on the issue was assisting the EDC in the possible drafting of a job description and advertising for the position. He said he was unaware who the candidates for the position were.

Numerous citizens were in attendance Tuesday night. After the taking no action on the item, Smith said the board only had the town’s best interests at heart, and assured them another executive session would not occur on his watch.

“As long as I’m sitting in this seat, there will never be another closed session again,” he said.

Should the funds become available, Smith said the executive director position would be advertised.

In other discussion, Smith reported two figures—20,000 square feet and 25,000 square

“highly recommended,” Sharp said they consider all safety, academic, technology and support improvements as the main priority.

The board applauded the presentation and upgrade suggestions. Board Member Lyn Jenkins said she thought “the bulk of what you said is fantastic.”

Llano ISD Superintendent Casey Callahan said the board, if they move forward with these plans, would likely consider two propositions: one including the new stadium and one excluding.

He added the committee would work closely with the bond council to receive solid numbers and improve their strategy.

Board President Ronnie Rudd suggested organizing a workshop at some point.

“We need to be exactly sure what goes on the ballot because come May, if something is on there we have to be able to ex-

plain why that money is being spent,” he said.

In other business, LISD Assistant Superintendent David Waters presented the board with a draft of the entrance requirements for Llano High School students seeking entry in Advanced Placement classes, as proposed by the Advanced Academic Learners Committee.

Based on the draft, entry into the particular programs will require students to accumulate points—one a 0-to-3 scale— based on teacher recommendation, standardized test scores, essay for entry, summer project and grades in subject area.

The changes are intended for the 2014-15 school year. Waters said the plan is to “stair-step” the adjustments in, beginning with next year’s freshmen class.

Superintendent Callahan said the next step is communicating the changes to parents in the community.

feet—as possible footage for the show barn. The planned climate-controlled structure is to be built next to the arena.

“We’re waiting on some refigures, but we have received positive feedback,” Smith said.

The show barn is part of “Phase 2” following the arena, Venable explained. The funds are currently being raised independently.

Jerry Don Moss said the facility would serve numerous purposes.

“As the town grows, in 20 years we can still use this show barn instead of going outside the county,” Moss explained.

In further discussion, board members took no ac-

tion in recommending to the city council to increase the EDC from seven members to eight, thus allowing Jerry Don Moss to become a voting member.

“I would love Jerry Don to be a voting member, but I think we have to keep the board at an odd number,” Smith said.

Increasing the board to nine members was mentioned, but Vice-President Diana Firestone said she believed this number was too high.

In other business, City Finance Director Lynda Kuder reported the event’s center took in $309,186 during the fiscal year, with a final balance of $38,509.

News Nutcracker brings in marquee pair Rinsing

By Emily Zendt Highland Lake Newspapers

The annual cameo appearances by local dignitaries in Harmony School of Creative Art’s 12th annual production of the Fantasy Nutcracker will be complemented by two classically trained professional ballet dancers this year.

Ballet Austin’s Ian Bethany and Grace Morton have joined Harmony’s cast to fill the lead roles of the Cavalier and the Sugar Plum Fairy.

Bethany taught at the Harmony school last year and sang their praises to girlfriend Morton who happily accepted the offer as guest performer and the performance carries a particular sentimental value for the marquee couple.

“I’ve never done a guest (appearance) like this for a school. It’s a good, special and humble feeling to see them all look at you with these wide eyes — I used to be one of those little children,” said Bethany, a Long Island, N.Y. native.

“This Nutcracker is particularly special to me because I am doing Cavalier, (the lead male role). It’s not a role I have ever done before…this is a chance for me to do something different and a little

bigger.”

For Morton, dancing at Harmony is a cathartic experience reminiscent of her childhood.

“When I was growing up we would have guests come during our Christmas show and watch them and admire them and that is what’s really pushed me to try harder and push to become a professional. I feel like its kind of my turn to give that gift to them,” she said.

Former Mayor Honnored

Having grown up in going to a small studio in Seattle, she feels connected to Harmony’s students.

“In big schools that have a company attached to them you can go watch rehearsals of professional dancers and be inspired by them. I didn’t have that, and so now it’s nice to show the dancers here that they can do it also,” she said.

The dancers will put on three performances at the Marble Falls High School Auditorium.

The first, at 2 p.m. Saturday, supports the local “Christmas Is for Kids” outreach program with free child admission with a donation of a new toy or gift and one paid adult ticket.

There will also be a later performance that same day at 7:30 p.m. and a matinee at 2 p.m. Sunday.

General Admission tickets for children (3-12 years) will be $5 in advance and $8 at the door and adults, (13 years and up) $12 in advance and $15 at the door.

Tickets can be reserved for $20 in advance and $22 at the door and are available in advance at H-E-B (General Admission, cash or check) and Harmony School, both in Marble Falls.

As a professional who sits inches away from peoples’ noses each and every day, I am acutely aware of my own breath. I brush and floss and rinse so many times in a day that I’m sure I could be classified as having OCOHD…Obsessive Compulsive Oral Hygiene Disorder.

It is my opinion that dentists should have fresh breath, healthy gums, and pretty white teeth. Anything else makes one wonder.

Though sometimes; coffee and red wine build up on my own teeth and darken them a bit.

Which reminds me of a saying from one of my old coaches, “Never go to a barber who has a bad haircut.”

I digress.

Minty fresh breath starts with great oral hygiene.

Nothing can replace a little elbow grease cleaning your own teeth (brushing AND flossing) twice a day. Professional cleanings help to remove the plaque and tarter that you cannot, but daily maintenance must be done

away bad breath

Chip Parrish, DDS at home.

Recently, I have become obsessed with finding the best mouthwash. So much so that I have purchased and tried most every brand and type available.

You name it…all-natural, anticavity, whitening, organic, anti-plaque, alcohol-free, anti-gingivitis, prescription strength, de-sensitizing… and I probably own a bottle of it. I’ve rinsed, brushed, water-flossed, and sloshed most every type I can find.

And the results?

Some taste better than others. Some make your mouth feel clean.

Some smell good and some not so

good. Some burn. Some are gritty and some are slimy.

Each and every rinse seems to be a little different. After trying a bunch of types and brands, I certainly prefer a few. Unfortunately, there seems to be no “best” in the bunch and I’d guess a dozen people would all pick a different favorite. To each their own.

Diving into “the research” reveals not too different results. Rinses with fluoride have been shown to help prevent cavities. Some antibacterial, anti-plaque, and anti-gingivitis rinses have been shown to reduce inflammation and bleeding of the gums. Overall, there is no consensus of “the best.”

The only recurring theme of the research is that a rinse cannot replace daily flossing and brushing.

There’s no substitute to taking care of yourself.

Until next week, keep smiling.

Former HSB officer announces for JP

By Alexandria Randolph Highland Lakes Newspapers Former Horseshoe Bay Police Officer Tim McCray has announced his intent to run for Llano Justice of the Peace Precinct 2.

McCray describes himself as a conservative Republican, and will be challenging incumbent Justice of the Peace Linda Ballard for coverage of the Precinct 2 area, which includes Buchanan Dam and Tow. McCray, 49, lives in Buchanan Dam with his three children and owns Tim’s Lawn and Landscape. Prior to owning his own business, he worked for the Horseshoe Bay Police Department for five

years until 2006.

“I spent over 20 years in law enforcement in child abuse investigations and sexual assault investigations,” he said.

During his 20 year career, McCray taught at The Panhandle Region Police Academy and the Capital Area Regional Police Academy and has taught, serviced or supervised in child abuse investigations, use of force, ethics, special investigations, death investigations and crime scene investigations.

“I already had my lawn and landscape business that I started in 2003, and I had been awarded a large contract for service just at the right time,” he said.

McCray said that he misses being involved in law enforcement, and believes his experience gives him insights into a position as judge.

McCray also taught the DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) in Llano schools from 1993 to 1996.

“One of the constables is one of my DARE kids,” he said.

“I’ve had a lot of interaction with kids on a positive level. I miss the public interaction.”

McCray said that if elected, he hopes to implement changes to public service in the office.

“Number one, a smooth transition,” he said. “I’d like to see some changes; additional time for the court to be open.”

Glen Rose holds off Llano, 35-26 Senior class closes season at beautiful Belton stadium

By Jim Goodson HLN Correspondent Llano’s 35-26 playoff loss to Glen Rose was truly a heartbreaker.

“It was a winnable game,” coach Craig Slaughter said. “That’s the toughest part about it. Not to take anything away from Glen Rose, but this was a winnable game for us.

“I would have loved to see this group – these seniors – celebrating at that stadium. But it wasn’t to be.”

Llano’s 21 seniors should always be proud of turning a once-hapless football program – losers of 10 straight games – into a playoff squad.

There were several regrettable moments at Crusader Stadium, a beautiful, new structure built

by University of Mary Hardin Baylor alum Drayton McLane, owner of the Houston Astros. But three stand out: On the last play of the first half, Llano receiver Jalen Bauman caught a pass from his quarterback Layton Rabb, angled toward the right sideline and outraced everyone to the end zone, where he leaped and then fell across the pylon. Touchdown, right? Aren’t any and all square inches of the pylon inbounds?

Not apparently to one referee trailing the play, who waved his arms frantically, then placed his foot just inside the one-yard line, ruling Bauman’s knee hit the ground before the ball touched the pylon.

Crusader Stadium’s mammoth video board clearly showed Bauman had scored and its operator wasn’t shy about showing the replay over and over.

But knowing UIL rules, coach Slaughter sprinted toward the locker room, his team trailing behind him, without protesting.

“It wouldn’t have done any good and we had work to get done at halftime,” Slaughter said.

Trailing 35-20 with 7:51 to play, Llano quarterback Rabb threw a bullet to slanting wide receiver Isaac Hutto from the Glen Rose six-yard-line.

A Tiger receiver stuck his hand in at the last moment, causing the ball to fly skyward, then into the hands of a teammate for an interception.

History repeated itself five plays later after Llano got the ball back when seniors Ryan Mansell and Eli Tiffin both pounced on a fumble by Tiger quarterback Colten Lane at the Glen Rose 15 yard line.

The fumble was caused by a jarring hit on Lane by blitzing Llano linebacker Aaron Moss.

Rabb ran for seven yards to bring the Yellow Jackets to the Glen Rose six yard line again. He then passed

to Hutto, circling toward the goal line. This ball was batted up and around by three different players until it settled into the hands of another Tiger defender with 5:47 left to play.

These turnovers were Llano’s first in 15 consecutive quarters of football.

One thing the 2013 Llano team has is resiliency.

The Yellow Jackets overcame the unlucky interceptions to score a touchdown on a four-yard-run

by Rabb with 1:52 left. But the necessary two-point conversion almost worked, but didn’t, despite senior Mason Ladd’s valiant attempt to stay in-bounds after catching Rabb’s pass.

It was 35-26 and when Llano’s onside kick didn’t work, all the Tigers needed to do was run out the clock.

The game started nicely for the Yellow Jackets when senior Chance Ware broke wide open in the middle of the field on Llano’s first possession. Ware easily hauled in Rabb’s pass and ran straight down the field to give the Yellow Jackets an early 7-0 lead.

Ware would go on to catch six passes for 131 yards in his best game of his career.

He benefited from the artificial turf grass at Crusader Stadium, which rewards superior speed. But the turf doesn’t play favorites and Glen Rose has speed, too.

That became apparent in the second quarter when the Tigers outscored Llano 21-7. Glen Rose receivers started running away from Llano defenders.

Rabb and Glen Rose quarterback Lane both heated up during the chilly evening’s second quarter.

Lane’s five-yard run tied things at 7-7 after he completed five passes during a 96-yard drive.

Undaunted, Rabb came back to connect with Hutto, Bauman and Ware for a 72-yard scoring drive that ended with Rabb’s nineyard run that gave Llano a 14-7 lead with 8:16 left before intermission.

Llano’s lead lasted three plays.

Joseph’s Pantry hosts Event packs new Feast of Thanksgiving

By Glynis Crawford Smith HLN Correspondent The entire Highland Lakes community is invited to share Joseph’s Pantry’s Feast of Thanksgiving Saturday.

The event will be held 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Highland Lakes Elementary School, located on H.A. Barnett Drive at 8410 RM 1431.

“We will have praise and worship music, fellowship and a hot plate of turkey and sides for everyone,” said Roy Guerrero, pantry founder. “You are also invited to come out and help

with serving plates, entertaining kiddos and distribution of food items.”

He explained that the feast day is the day volunteers of Joseph’s Pantry distribute boxes containing everything for a home holiday meal to those who applied for assistance through Granite Shoals Christmas Outreach.

Local churches and HEB are among Saturday’s sponsors.

For more information, contact Mary Lou Guerrero at 830.220.2344 or visit the Pantry website: www. josephsfoodpantry.com.

That was followed by Baumanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catch-and-stolen TD and a soul-searching halftime.

Each team scored twice in the second half. Llano pulled to within 21-20 after runner Carter Tatsch got untracked with runs of 14, seven and six yards. The score came on an 11-yard pass from Rabb to Hutto.

Glen Rose extended its lead to 28-20 when Lane passed 11 yards to receiver Colton Bumpas.

Llano then drove 63 yards in 10 plays but Rabb was stopped after a gain of three yards on fourth-and-four.

As the fourth quarter began, Glen Rose drove 76

yards in 10 plays to take what appeared to be a commanding 35-20 lead with 9:38 left to play. Holder did the damage from three yards out.

But anyone who has seen Llano play this year knew they would bounce back. And they did, only to be undone by some tragic and, truth be told, unlucky tips that led to interceptions.

Rabb was magnificent in his final game for the Yellow Jackets. Llanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alltime passer completed 18 of 34 passes for 302 yards and ran for two touchdowns. He ends his career with 4,438 passing yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He passed for more

yardage in seven games this year than all of last year,â&#x20AC;? coach Slaughter said.

Slaughter had special praise for the 21 seniors on this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rabb, Hutto, Tatsch, Mansell  â&#x20AC;Ś you name it â&#x20AC;Ś they truly donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care who gets the credit,â&#x20AC;? the head coach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is truly a team in every sense of the word.â&#x20AC;?

Colton Bumpas hauls in a long pass for Glen Rose against the Yellow Jackets. Glen Rose won and advanced to the area round against the unbeaten Graham Steers.

Jackets: Senior class closes season at Belton back Hayden Holder for 41 yards.

The designated home team took its 21-14 halftime lead when Lane hit wide receiver Colton Bumpas for 39 yards then raced into the end zone with 2:58 left before intermission.

When Glen Rose got the ball back after a Llano three-and-out, the Tigers appeared capable of really putting the game out of reach. But a great defensive play by Llanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eliazar Villegas, a senior defensive back, stopped Holder on fourth-and-inches near midfield â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the Llano bench erupted.

Singling out a local favorite

By Miles Smith Highland Lakes Newspapers

Garrison Brothers Distillery is into being first.

The Hye-based whiskey maker, which opened in 2005, holds the claim of being Texas’ first whiskey distillery.

And as November dawned, the distillery accomplished another first: producing the first single barrel straight bourbon whiskey in the Lone Star State.

The 750 mL bottles are for sale for $109.99 and will initially be available only at Garrison Brothers Distillery.

The release comes on the heels of the passage of Texas Senate Bill 905, which makes it possible for craft distilleries to sell what they make.

“For years, bourbon drinkers and collectors have been asking us to release a single barrel, and it’s high time we did,” said proprietor and distiller Dan Garrison. “Senate Bill 905 was a great motivator. Now we have something new to offer both old friends and first-time distillery visitors alike.

“We’re extremely proud of our

bourbon, we love showing off what we do, and we’re excited to add Garrison Brothers Single Barrel to our stable of fine bourbons. We’re so confident in its quality, taste and character, we’ll put ours up against any Kentucky and Tennessee bourbon in a blind taste test.”

The state allows Garrison to sell two bottles per customer per 30-day period. But eventually the new spirit will likely be available alongside Garrison’s original product at major liquor retailers.

If early returns are any indicator, it should be on the shelves in your community in the next couple of years.

The owner says it’s already a hot seller at the distillery.

“We use distillery sales as a test market for what might work at liquor stores,” Garrison explained. “So far, we are selling much more single barrel than we ever anticipated. It

might be released across Texas in 2015 or 2016.”

Garrison said his product shouldn’t be confused with runof-the mill grain whiskey, saying specific guidelines must be met for the spirit to carry bourbon’s designation.

“Bourbon is the distilled spirit of the United States and it must follow a strict set of production guidelines called the standards of identity,” Garrison explains.

“Anyone can make whiskey. Making good bourbon is expensive and time consuming. Making bourbon is an art and God smiles on those of us who do.”

Garrison said it was important for

WINE & SPIRITS whiskey connoisseurs not to confuse single barrel with small batch. While there are other Texas distilleries that produce tasty small batch whiskey, the process is entirely different.

“A small batch is a marriage of barrels,” he notes. “A single barrel means that bourbon literally came from one barrel that was hand selected by our master distiller.”

And each bottle of the single barrel variety will be unique. Each week, master distiller Donnis Todd will select a new barrel, and will offer visitors his tasting notes for that specific barrel and fill a few special bottles that will be emblazoned with a silver Texas star.

Visitors can dip the bottle they choose into silver wax and personalize it.

As for how it should be served, Garrison recommends you don’t overcomplicate things.

“Straight up — neat — is how I would drink this bourbon,” Garrison says. “Use the commercially produced bourbons for cocktails.”

Contributed Marked by a single silver star, Garrison Brothers Distillery’s new single barrel bourbon is available only at its distillery in Hye, Texas.

The holiday season has one staple that it can’t do without – lights. The surreal glow of Christmas lights sets the tone of the season for Hill Country residents, and several area events celebrate the season’s cheery beams.

There are several local communities participating in the 2013 Texas Hill Country Regional Christmas Lighting Trail, including Marble Falls, Burnet, Johnson City and Fredericksburg.

The old ways still work

By Alexandria Randolph Highland Lakes Newspapers

One of the most effective irrigation systems is a tried and true method that has existed for thousands of years.

Ollas, pronounced “Oy-ah,” are large clay jars that are used to spread water to surrounding plants through absorption. The use of buried jars for plant irrigation is an ancient technique and has a long history of use in the southwest region of the United States. It was also first recorded in the Fan Sheng-chih Shu, the first agricultural science textbook, in first century B.C. Backbone Valley Nursery recently added Olla pots to its inventory.

“They are one size; 18 inches tall and a foot wide,” said co-owner Jessica Robertson.

“It’s a very old concept. The way the principle works is that the pots are very porous. They very slowly leach water, but only as slow as the soil dries out. It’s a ‘Goldilocks’ principle.

Not too wet or too dry.”

The jars are buried just below the surface of the ground with their necks extending above the surface. Water is poured into the basin of the jar, where it slowly seeps through the porous clay and into the earth.

“You want to leave the necks exposed and inch or two above the surface,” Robertson

Sam’s

said. “It depends on the time of year as for how often you fill it. During 100 degree weather it might be every day, (every) three to five days in the summer, and it might be up to a week in the winter.”

Robertson said the pots need to be equally spaced among the plants, and make a better irrigation system for smaller plots or gardens.

“The trick is to plant it in the middle of all your plants. It’s wise to space them evenly,” she said.

Robertson said that the pots do very well in herb and vegetable gardens, which need a lot of water.

“Most plants thrive on consistent moisture,” she said.

In case of mineral deposits, Robertson said “you can unbury them every few years and put vinegar in them to take care of limestone deposits.”

The pots, which last for years, virtually eliminate water loss through evaporation and run-off, and make the best use of limited water resources by

GARDENING

providing water directly to the roots, where plants need it most. Plants sometimes develop a fibrous mat of roots around the pots.

Q. A.

What are pacemakers and under what circumstances are they necessary?

Permanent pacemakers (PPM) are medical devices surgically inserted to assist with the heart’s native conduction system. Pacemakers become medically necessary when the conduction system of the heart is not functioning adequately. Various causes include heart attack, coronary artery disease, advanced age, congenital heart blocks, connective tissue disease, neuromuscular disease, infectious disease, or a requirement following a cardiac procedure or surgery can result in the need for a pacemaker.

Where are they implanted and what powers these devices?

Pacemakers are typically surgically implanted in the upper chest wall just below the clavicle and have leads attached to the generator that extend directly to the chambers of the heart to assist with pacemaker generated conduction. Depending on the needs of the patient, one upper, one lower, or both lower chambers of the heart can be paced effectively. The internal battery life of a pacemaker varies according to the individuals pacing requirements. Pacemakers have the ability to be programmed to engage upon needs and demands of the heart, thus sparing battery life. Programming of the pacemaker at the time of insertion determines the response of the device.

Patients who meet criteria for risk of sudden cardiac death due to a potentially lethal heart rhythm are often implanted with a device known as an automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (AICD) that has the capability to pace the heart as needed and deliver electrical shocks in attempt to terminate a life threatening heart rhythm.

STAY WELL Dr. Joseph Hill is chief of cardiology at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.

Q. A.

Does a heart attack mean the end of one’s sex life?

Heart attack survivors often consider the event as a wake-up call to eat healthier, exercise more, and not sweat the small stuff.

But anxiety can accumulate around a taboo topic: resuming a fulfilling sex life. It’s a subject that a lot of patients have trouble asking their physicians about due to the nature of the topic.

Sometimes, physicians need to be the ones Dr. Joseph Hill to bring it up, to put patients at ease.

To address this fear, the American Heart Association recently released guidelines to help health care providers comfortably advise patients on resuming a safe sex life following a cardiovascular event, such as heart attack, stroke, or transplant.

Sex isn’t as risky as some survivors may fear. It is unlikely that being sexually active after a heart attack will trigger another attack in most people. If you don’t experience symptoms in your daily life, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness during exercise, you’re not likely to experience them in bed either.

Patients and physicians alike should recognize that a healthy sex life contributes to overall quality of life; therefore, while the topic may be perceived as taboo, it is a worthwhile discussion to have.

It’s important for doctors and patients to put their potential embarrassment aside and recognize the importance of sexual counseling, because it can go a long way to help survivors on the road to recovery.

A vision in aubergine

By Miles Smith Highland Lakes Newspapers

The car’s rear end is emblazoned with its owner’s name.

The black dashboard and chrome accents contrast nicely.

Miles Smith/Staff

A purple Ford Mustang?

Actually, it’s called ‘aubergine,’ its owner says.

W W W . L A K E C O U N T R Y L I F E . C O M

Mark Kidd says his wife, Cyndy, is quick to correct anyone who’d dare call her 1966 Ford Mustang “purple.”

“The color is ‘aubergine,’” laughs the Burnet County resident, who lives just outside Highland Haven. “She’s quick to let you know that.”

Their car originally came from Colorado, but was purchased in the Austin area. The exterior color, which is reminiscent of a Japanese eggplant’s outer flesh, was present when they bought it.

The Kidds have no shortage of classic vehicles in their stable, which includes a 1965 Ford Falcon, a 1927 Ford Rat Rod pickup, and an electric blue 1972 De Tomaso Pantera (made famous by Elvis Presley, who notably shot his car in a fit of rage one morning).

But the 1966 pony car belongs to Cyndy, who wanted a similar car since her high school years.

“Her dad had promised her a Mustang at graduation,” says Mark, a California native who built his Highland Haven home area in 2000. “That fell through, so I got her one. It’s the best of both worlds, really. She’s got her car she wanted, and I get to work on it and play chauffeur.”

The car has the famous “289” emblem denoting Ford’s well-known small block V8 engine. However, the car actually boasts a 302 cubic-inch displacement that packs a little more power and torque.

“I left the emblem there because I like to keep the exterior as stock as possible,” Mark noted.

The interior, however, blends modern updates with a classic appearance. The erstwhile vinyl seats have been recovered in a durable cloth fabric, and aftermarket air conditioning was installed.

However, the dash still includes period-appropriate gauges and plenty of chrome against a stark black background.

The Kidds’ car does get to hit the road from time to time — it’s not a garage ornament.

It also makes a few appearances to an adoring public.

“We drive it to a lot of car shows, and (the Lake Area Rods and Classics Club) does a lot of charity work,” he notes. “We do a lot with Kingsland’s Aqua Boom and the Burnet County Fair.”
