When the call came in about a boat accident on Lake Buchanan in May 2002, Jim Lindeman suspected he knew the victims.

“I knew immediately it was Justin and Jim,” said Lindeman, a Lampasas-based Texas Parks and Wildlife Depart-ment game warden, of the hit-and-run accident that changed one family’s life and directed the next eight and half years of his professional career.

The accident killed Justin Wayne Roberts, a popular Lampasas teenager, and injured his friends Jim Daniels and Kelly Corbin.

Lindeman saw the two boys—Justin and Jim—outside of Storm’s Drive-in Restaurant in Lampasas before they had headed out on the lake that night.

“Everybody knew Justin,” Lindeman said. “He was just one of those kids you want your kids to grow up with.”

After the accident, the case was cold for many years.

“It was something that haunted me,” Lindeman said of the search for the driv-er, a case without a solid suspect until the arrest this month of Travis Aaron Marburger, a 36-year-old Bertram man and the discovery of a boat buried on his property that authorities believe match-es paint chips recovered at the crime scene.

Lindeman called Justin’s father Da-vid Roberts the morning that Marburger was arrested—the two men have been close for years.

“We never hounded him (about the

investigation),” Roberts said, “because we knew how hard he took it.”

Justin and the case “were never far from my mind,” Lindeman said. “Not a week went by where somebody didn’t come up and say, ‘Hey, did you ever find that boat…?’”

“No, but I’m still working on it,” he would tell them.

The chances of solving the case were unlikely, however.

Part of the problem is you cannot analyze paint chips on a boat the way you can on an automobile, Lindeman explains. There are only a handful of

automobile manufacturers but literally hundreds of boat manufacturers.

But Lindeman followed every conceiv-able lead – even the unlikely tips.

He said a psychic once called and told him, “I see a boat on the bottom of the lake.”

Once a woman called about her hus-band. “He owns a boat. He’s drunk all the time, and he didn’t pick up his kids that weekend. He probably did it,” Linde-man said.

He recalls other people offering about

special to tHe Bulletin

Numerous year end re-ports and the results of a fi-nancial audit presented at Bertram’s regular city coun-cil meeting Dec. 14 painted a bright picture for the city’s future in 2011.

Bertram had its share of struggle, controversy and turnover in government af-fairs earlier in the year, but with the opening of the new Joann Cole Mitte Memorial Library, a 16-unit assisted living facility on the horizon and a list of other planned improvements, residents and city leaders are hopeful this will lead to further growth.

Charity Taber, an accoun-tant with Michael Warner & Associates in Burnet, gave the council an overview of an au-dit report conducted recently.

“The city’s net assets showed slightly more than $4.5 million, the liabilities were $1.9 million and that left $2.6 million in net assets

over and above the city’s li-abilities,” Taber said. “It is our clean opinion we didn’t find anything materially misrep-resented, and we conclude it was pretty much a break-even year for the City of Bertram.”

In an Economic Develop-ment Committee (EDC) re-port given by Reta Whitley, the council was informed of completed improvement projects along Main St. and several locations in town re-sulting from five EDC façade grants of $2,000 each to im-prove the city’s appearance. Whitley said one of their most important projects is the up-coming Senior Activity Center that will take over the build-ing previously occupied by the Bertram Library Thrift Shop.

“We are very excited about having a Senior Activity Cen-ter here and recently signed the paperwork to get that go-ing,” Whitley said. “The EDC would also like to pursue bringing a Super S grocery store to Bertram.”

After an update from May-or Winnette Morris, the coun-cil unanimously approved the annexation of city-owned

Earskine Kelly and his wife Betty were killed in an automobile accident last week even as they took a safety pre-caution to avoid just such a collision.

The elderly Inks Lake couple, who for many years owned and operated one of the most acclaimed restaurants in the Hill Country, were pro-nounced dead at the scene of the accident on SH 29 about three-tenths of a mile west of PR 4 after their vehicle was struck by a tractor-trailer on Dec. 14.

Earskine Kelley, 91, drove his 1997 Dodge Caravan into the path of the east-bound tractor-trailer as he attempted to enter the west-bound lane of SH 29 from the parking lot of the Thrift Store business establishment shortly after 2 p.m. according to a Depart-ment of Public Safety report on the accident.

Betty Kelley, 84, was a passenger in the vehicle her husband was driving.

The driver of the semi, which was towing a 1999 model Lufkin trailer, Horace Barton of Marble Falls, was uninjured.

The Kellys had long been concerned about the danger

Burnet elementary students had their usual wildly endear-ing and entertaining requests for Christmas presents in their letters to Santa Claus this year, but they also showed heart-felt concern for the well-being of Santa and his reindeers and expressed a desire that their family and friends not be forgotten.

“We will leave some food and wa-ter for the reindeer,” assured Kaden Stubblefield, a third grader in Mrs. Linda Dyke’s class at Shady Grove Elementary.

Jolie, a third-grader in Mrs. Shawna Bell’s class at Shady Grove,

did not want her dad to be forgot-ten, but had no idea what Santa should bring him.

“My daddy, well I’m not sure what he wants for Christmas be-cause there is no telling,” Jolie wrote.

That’s just two of the funny, heart-tugging comments from Bur-net’s elementary students. See pag-es 7 through 9A for many more.

Some members of Burnet County’s Commissioners Court once again Tuesday took issue with the Lower Colorado River Authority’s philosophy of com-municating with members of its

constituency.The commissioners and Coun-

ty Judge Donna Klaeger have been dissatisfied recently with LCRA’s announcement Nov. 17 of its intention to sell 32 rural and suburban water utilities, includ-ing several in Burnet and Llano counties, and what they describe

as its inadequate communication on the matter.

“Somebody needs to tell them (LCRA) the meaning of the word transparency,” Pct. 1 Commission-er Bill Neve said during a discus-sion at Tuesday’s Burnet County Commissioners Court meeting.

Representatives of several of

the affected water utilities in Bur-net and Llano counties told the commissioners at a Dec. 7 meeting in Burnet they were confused and concerned about LCRA’s decision and said they had not received no-tification of the planned sale.

County: LCRA fails to communicate

I moved to the Marble Falls area six months ago and I still have the 2010 Lake Country Community and Real Estate Guide that I picked up at the Chamber of Commerce on my first visit to town. The community guide helped me a lot during my move since I knew nothing about the area when I came here from East Texas. My husband and I hope to purchase a home in the area within the next couple of years and I will pick up another guide then and use the great real estate information that it includes. The Lake Country Community and Real Estate Guide would be a valuable resource for anyone moving to or visiting the Highland Lakes area.

HIGHLAND LAKES NEWSPAPERS

Burnet County Commis-sioners Tuesday left in place its burn ban for unincor-porated areas of the county and reminded citizens about conditions for cooking out-side during the holidays.

“We’re still where we were,” Herb Darling, the county’s environmental ser-vices coordinator, told the commissioners. “It’s dry and getting drier.”

Commissioners insti-tuted the current burn ban Dec. 7.

In response to a query from Pct. 2 Commissioner Russell Graeter, Darling confi rmed that citizens can cook outdoors if it is done on a grill or similar contained

implement, but not with a campfi re or in a fi re ring.

The commissioners also allotted time at Tuesday’s meeting for a public hear-ing on a proposed overhaul of the county’s subdivision rules, but no one showed up to offer comments.

The new rules were the subject of a lengthy discus-sion at the commissioners’ Dec. 14 meeting with sev-eral people connected to the housing development com-munity participating.

County Judge Donna Kl-aeger said Tuesday the new subdivision rules will be on the agenda for the commis-sioners’ next meeting Jan, 11, 2011 at which time they will be voted on for adoption.

Also Tuesday, the commissioners:

Approved a new mainte-nance agreement with South-west Corrections, the private company that has contracted with the county to run its jail facilities.

The agreement is for the Polk St. facility, or “old jail”, with Southwest Corrections being responsible for routine maintenance and the coun-ty responsible for the lock-ing system control board, the HVAC system wich is still under factory, cameras and monitors, door control wiring and the emergency generator.

Voted to accept a $24,000 indigent defense fund grant offer from the state.

Approved a county self-in-surance policy for damage or loss to certain county-owned vehicles and equipment.

Some outdoor cooking allowed

That prompted Klaeger to contact LCRA Board Presi-dent Rebecca Klein and Gen-eral Manager Tom Mason and request that the issue be placed on the agenda for LCRA’s Dec. 15 board of di-rectors meeting in Austin.

Klein and Mason declined, and she never got a straight answer why, Klaeger said.

“I kept asking why it couldn’t be on the agenda and they kept saying it would be on the January agenda,” she said.

Next, Klaeger attended the Dec. 15 LCRA board meeting, hoping to get an opportunity to speak on the water utilities issue.

She had no luck, but Klein acknowledged her presence and said, “We look forward to hearing from you next month.”

The Burnet Bulletin con-tacted a LCRA company spokeswoman after the Dec. 14 Burnet County Com-missioners Court meeting, but before the next day’s board of directors meeting and received the following e-mail statement attributed to

Mason:“We spoke with Judge

Klaeger and other elected of-fi cials within 24 hours of the LCRA Board decision on Nov. 17 and we look forward to ongoing communication with her. While members of the public are always invited to speak to the Board on public agenda items, the water and wastewater divestiture is not on this month’s public agen-da. The matter will be includ-ed in the January agenda.”

LCRA offi cials are missing the point, Neve said after the LCRA board meeting

“The issue is not their communication with Judge Klaeger,” Neve said. “The is-sue is their lack of commu-nication with the people of Burnet and Llano County who use those water sys-tems. The issue is their lack of communication with their own constituents.”

When Klaeger gave the commissioners a briefi ng Tuesday on what had trans-pired since their previous meeting, they didn’t take it well.

“I really don’t think LCRA understands what we are saying when we talk about

lack of communication from them,” Neve fumed. “After the fact is not communication.”

Commissioner Ronnie Hibler, whose Pct. 3 is home to some of the affected utili-ties including the Whitewater Springs Water System, said “LCRA needs to have bet-ter communication with the citizens of Burnet County. Whitewater Springs has a contract with them that con-tains a right of fi rst refusal clause and nobody from LCRA has told them yet that they are planning to sell.”

Whitewater Springs Water System offi cials spoke of the right of fi rst refusal stipula-tion at the Dec. 7 Commis-sioners Court meeting, but Hibler acknowledged he has not seen the contract.

Asked for comment after Tuesday’s meeting, Robert Cullick, LCRA’s Manager of Communications Strategy re-sponded with an e-mail state-ment: “LCRA staff communi-cated with scores of public offi cials, elected offi cials, con-stituents and wholesale cus-tomers within 48 hours of the Nov. 17 decision by the Board of Directors to seek a buyer for the water utility system,”

Cullick said. “We also com-municated to retail custom-ers through the media and direct contact with customer service representatives. So we think we did an adequate and complete job of telling those who might be affected what was happening.

“As far as Whitewater Springs, LCRA acquired that system Aug. 29, 2003 from Whitewater Springs, an or-ganization created by a bank that had foreclosed on a de-velopment loan and acquired the system, Merchants Mort-gage and Trust Corporation of Colorado. The acquisition agreement has no right of fi rst refusal and LCRA has no contract with the local prop-erty owners association.”

Dear Editor:

Extending President Bush-era tax cuts will contribute by far the largest dollar amount to the next decade’s deficits; ahead of the recession’s drain on tax revenues, Iraq and Afghanistan war spend-ing, TARP and Obama’s stimulus.

The Nov. 2 exit polls showed that deficit reduction was the voters’ top priority issue, but our nation’s most wealthy refused to help lower the deficit by not taking a tax cut. Instead, they insisted on cutting social services such as Social Security benefits, First Responder Health Benefits, and unemployment compensation. The most recent Social Security Reform recommendation is to raise the retirement age from the current 65 years old to 69 years old. This move will harm the working class more because they pay a larger percentage of their wages into the system and their life expectancy is lower than the wealthy, due to the type of labor they perform and the less quality health care they receive.

Since President Clinton deregu-lated the financial industry, finance accounted for more than a third of total U.S. profits. With the finance industry siphoning one third of

America’s profits upward for the wealthy, the “after tax” income of the top one percent has more than tripled since 1979, while the bottom dwellers has barely moved an inch. This is why we are seeing the biggest disconnect between financial capitalism and the real economy since modern economies began in the 19th century.

When the real estate bubble burst, Bush instituted the so-called “bailout”, or TARP. The Fed enabled banks to borrow cheaply, and the banks re-lend that cheap money back to the federal govern-ment by buying Treasury securities and earn a nice spread between their cost of funds and Treasury yields. It’s called the “Fed” and the “Treasury”, but it’s actually all taxpayer money.

It’s like a storm that rains upward. Our money is pouring up to the wealthy who are being sup-ported in the elections by wealthy corporations. This is Oligarchy. The United States of America is rapidly becoming the Banana Republic of America.

Dear Editor:

I really must respond to Nick Soika’s letter to the editor. I must admit, I feel a little bit silly giving a government/history lesson to a complete stranger. However, Nick is a fellow Texan so I feel compelled to help him to understand.

Nick, I fear you are a bit con-fused about the democrat thing. The word democrat, and democratic process, refer to elements of the American political system. Trans-lated from Aristotle, it roughly means “popular government.” For Americans, and Texans too Nick, Democracy is a government of, by, and for the people. Perhaps you will remember that phrase from junior high, its actually in the constitu-tion of our country. The German government of the 1920’s and 30’s may have had a social democracy as well; it simply means popular government.

The politicians you mention in your letter were democratically

elected. I find your tone a little mean-spirited, considering it ap-pears that you have engaged in the type of misinformation that you ac-cuse our popularly elected govern-ment of using.

It is also rather disturbing to find that a Texan would be so impolitic to suggest that taxes are somehow wrong, un-American. Not to pay your due is what is unpatri-otic. Here we are fighting wars, try-ing to help our own unfortunates here at home, and what I hear you saying is that taxes are wrong, not only wrong but a form of theft.

Almost in the same breath those of your ilk decry the massive public debt. How do you propose that we retire the debt, through some magic? If you believe in America and its purpose in the world, then man up and pay your due. I can tell you Nick, it has always been thus.

Takes reader to taskon ‘democrat’ thing

Dear Editor:

Joe Straus “cannot” be reelected as speaker of the Texas House. Fed up voters elected a conservative majority to pursue a conservative agenda. Joe Straus is a liberal who opposes the conservative agenda.

Gun Owners of America oppose Straus because he has been an op-ponent of gun rights in Texas.

He appoints liberal Democrats to committee chairmanships that block the conservative agenda and has personally blocked conservative legislation.

He opposes voter ID for voting. He has a 100 percent approval

rating from liberal pro-abortion activists.

He has threatened any legisla-tor who opposes him-with. adverse redistricting. That is despicable and for that reason alone he should be defeated, and is unfit to hold any elective office.

We voted for a conservative legis-lature. Therefore I agree with grass roots activists to advocate a primary challenge to any Republican legisla-tor who votes for Joe Straus.

I will not support Joe Straus supporters in the primary or the general election. You didn’t get your office by appointment from Joe Straus. You got it from the elector-ate. Don’t forget that.

Don Baker Lampasas

How is the beard coming? Are you ready for Christmas? I will be happy to see you this year. I hope I get the things I put on my list.

I think I deserve this present: a call of duty black ops game. I hope you have a safe trip. I am your biggest fan. We will leave some food and water for the reindeer.

Your friend, Kaden Stubblefi eldP.S. My teacher doesn’t like toy guns so I didn’t write my 2nd wish.

It was a air soft gun.

Do you have a brother named Fred? I saw a movie called Fred Claus. I wondered! My life is going good. How is yours. How are your elves? Do you have a elf named Willie? My best friend is you. My grandma has an eight week old cheweenie. I am nine years old. Do you rember kaden and braden? Well they’re in my class again.

What I want for Christmas is a DSI XL. You know about that huge Nutcraker. I think I deserve the nutcracker and DSI IX because I’ve been a good boy. I’ve tried relly hard, harder than my brothers.

Sincerely, Sam Grant

How is your family? Your elves and reindeer are nice. I have been a good girl. My family is also doing good. I have lots of things that I want.

I want a piano I deserve it because I’m good. I want a ginger bread house to build with my family. I want my family to have the best Christmas. I want new moves for my family. I would like new books so I can read them. Merry Christmas,

Santa, Your friend, Autumn Snow

My family is going well how are you going I have been a pretty good boy I don’t know about my sister she is the one hwo makes me late all the times

Santa what I want is a game called mindfl ex I think I should de-serve it because I have been a good boy all year I don’t know about my sisiter hasen’t she has been good she has been throwing fi ts!

You know whare my house is and what kind of presents to get me and I hope

they’re cool. Love,

Marcus Merdell

Do you have a broth-er named Fred Claus?

How’s the reindeer? How’s the beard? What’s happening in the North

Pole? I have one sister and one brother. I can play King Wencesalas on the piano. I’ve memorized it. My

brother is sixteen and my sister is fourteen. I hope Jeremey learns more stuff about school and being responsable.

Santa, I need a new piano stand and a Christmas present for Mrs. Dyke. Can I have a elf-made ornament? I also need more elf-made books. Also I need a elf-made blanket. I could use a nice elf-made watch.

Sincerely, Kendal ConnollyP.S. I love Rudolph. He’s cute.

Do you have a brother? How you doing? How is Ruldoph doing? What’s happening at the North pole? I’m doing great. Make sure you see my pet guinea pig in the living room. It is white and it has red eyes. My brother Lucas had heart surguey, his heart valve got messed up, but he’s better now.

You can get me what you think I deserve. I couldn’t think of any-thing to write down. But I’ll tell you one thing that I need: I need a good book.

Friends forever, Will Brandenburg

How are you doing and the elves, too? I’ve been a good kid. How is Mrs. Clause? I’m in 3rd grade and my teacher is fantastic! Her name is Mrs. Dyke. We are learning to Divide and Multiply. It’s easy and fun.

For Christmas I would like a Nintendo DSI and a remote control car and a remote control air plane. I like Nintendos because you can take pictures with my friends. I like remote control stuff because I can tie a mouse to the end and my cat chase it. It’s funny! I will leave sugar cookies and milk for you!!!

Love, Brandy Konopka

How are you doing? What is happening with the elves? I want call of duty black ops and toy airplanes how are the reindeers? Did you know that my mom and dad had a break-up but it’s getting better and better. When your reindeers fl y and land on the roof how do they do not slip? I hope your reindeer and elves are ok.

I hope you are going to fl y to the right place. How fast do they go? It is a good thing you have a book about people who are good or bad. You remember a lot of stuff. You don’t give kids the wrong presents.

Sincerelley, Braden Konopka

Have you had a great year? How are your reindeer at the North Pole? Is your wife ok? Have all of the other reindeer noses turned red this year? I wish I could have a lear jet, or maybe a real dragon! Can I have a hamster for Christmas this year? I want a parrot to.

Your friend, Ethan BattlesP.S. I like all of the toys that you give me. You have good taste!

How are you and Mrs. Claus doing? Oh, and how is Rudolph, does he still have a red nose? Are you ready for Christmas? Its going to be so much fun! Its going to be my second Christmas at my new house!

You know, I have a few things I want for Christmas . . . I want some black furry boots because I been a good girl. I have a present for you too when you come to my house. You know, Santa, I’d like to have some art stuff because I love art! I’d also like have some clothes because I’ve been good. I have more to tell you but just wait! I want to get my brother Sean the best gift ever! Can you help me? Well anyway back to the list now. Were going to Colorado on Spring Break. So can you give me some gloves? Well see ya Santa!

Hi my name is Andrue Gonzalez and I am in 3rd grade. If you have a bad elf you could send him to me. Does frosty the Snowman live with you? Could you change me into a elf so I could help you?

Can you give me a Playstation 3 and a red Wii because our old one blow out so we can’t play it anymore. If you come to my house you will see your favorite cookie on the table for you. I think I deserve my toys because I take the trash out every day and I fold my t-shirt and pants.

Your friend, Andrue Gonzalez

people they knew, “I don’t know if he owns a boat but he’s that type of person.”

But a tip is what ul-timately would solve the case, he believed.

Investigators had two main leads right away—a group of kids at a house party had apparently “hit a log” while cruising the lake, according to one source, and in another tip, an ex-con had bragged to cellmates that he commit-ted the crime.

Neither panned out, however. Both leads dried

up fi ve years ago. Then came the Nov. 22

tip that led to the arrest in Bertram.

“When everything fell into place...I still said, ‘OK, don’t get too excited,’” he recalled telling himself be-fore Marburger’s arrest.

But the excitement was clearly shared among his men and all the depart-ments working on the case.

“You’ve never seen (men) working so diligently with a shovel,” he said of the ex-cavation on the Bertram property.

Potentially fi nding the

boat was a moment he had waited for more than a third of his career.

“When that bucket scratched the edge of the boat,” he said, “it was just overwhelming.”

Some people wonder why the tipster didn’t speak up sooner, but he said it was irrelevant.

“I’ll defend them to the end. They made that call. That’s all that matters. They’re the heroes in this,” he said. “I’m indebted to them forever.”

The discovery was not just the department’s vic-tory. “So many people had

land, approximately 222.95 acres, to further an assisted-living facility project.

“Apparently, our existing city limits don’t go all the way to the end of the tract of land where the investors would like to build,” Morris said. “They don’t want to begin the proj-ect without everything being within the city limits.”

Also during Tuesday night’s meeting, Morris pre-sented a plaque on behalf of the City of Bertram to post-humously honor the work of Regina Hibler Glimp. Glimp passed away two months ago, and her daughters Mary Kin-nibrugh and Jan Belz were presented with a plaque and certifi cates while Morris high-lighted the many accomplish-ments and hours of dedicated service Glimp gave to the Ber-tram community.

Judge Peggy Simon re-quested the council consider forgoing payment to individu-

als who report for jury service in municipal court hearings.

“We have a contract with Burnet County to call juries on behalf of the City of Ber-tram which comes at a cost of about $109 per call,” Simon said. “The cost paid to the ju-rors is about $6 per person and can easily double the cost of holding a trial. With this affecting city residents only, they don’t have far to go to appear, and I have never had anyone complain about forgo-ing the $6.”

The council unanimously approved her request.

Other actions approved by the council included a recommendation to allow the Historical Preservation Com-mittee to move forward with plans to replace the roof in the Bertram Volunteer Fire Department building at 163 West Vaughan, and Morris was authorized to sign a con-tract for the lease/purchase of two additional police vehicles to add to the city’s fl eet.

of attempting to make a left turn heading west onto SH 29 from the driveway to their home a short distance away from the accident site, a fam-ily friend who asked not to be identifi ed said.

Because the accident site sits in the middle of a series of S curves on SH 29, a short distance to the east of the top of a hill where the Kellys’ driveway intersects the high-way, they had for years made it a practice to turn right from their driveway and drive the short distance to the Thrift Store parking lot before turn-

ing left onto SH 29 because doing so gave them a longer view of traffi c coming over the hill to the west, the friend said.

That apparently is what Earskine Kelley did Tues-day before he pulled into the path of the truck driven by Barton.

Earskine and Betty Kelley for years owned and operated the German-American Res-taurant at Buchanan Dam before selling it in 1978 when they retired.

Former President Lyndon Johnson and his wife Lady Bird were frequent patrons of the restaurant, the family

friend said.Earskine Kelley retired as

a U.S. Army Master Sergeant in 1958 after being stationed in Germany after World War II, where he met Betty, a German-born aspiring op-era singer who worked at the army base in Bad Nauheim.

They had one child, son Alex, who was born Bad Nauheim, before coming to the United States, where Ear-skine Kelley served as a drill sergeant at Fort Hood and Betty opened the German-American Restaurant in Bu-chanan Dam.

A memorial service for the Kelleys was held Friday at the Clements-Wilcox Funeral Home in Burnet.

a hand in (the investiga-tion),” especially Burnet County law enforcement, he said.

Everyone offered their services—even at the exca-vation site.

“I had people call and say ‘I’ll dig with my hands,” he said.

But the case should not have taken eight years to crack, Lindeman explained.

“When you look back...it should have been like any accident we worked,” he said, pulling into Townsen Cemetery, the home of Justin Roberts’ manicured grave where he’s remem-bered by family and friends with mementos like fi sh-ing poles, small animal statues, and a jar that holds letters, necklaces, and more, including an honor-ary TPWD Game Warden pendant from Lindeman.

There’s no time to cel-ebrate a potential conclu-sion to the case, however.

He planned to celebrate, but received a call later that afternoon, he said.

“Are you the game war-den?” the caller asked, Lin-deman said. “Because my neighbor has a feeder that’s too close to my fence…and I want you to do something about it.”

Duty calls. “I’ll be right there,” he responded.

“Now, maybe I can have you all hunting season,” his supervisor told him later.

It’s hard to believe that in just a few short days it will be Christmas. It’s even harder to believe that the year has fl own by so fast, and it’s almost un-imaginable to believe the ex-tremes of weather we’ve had in the last couple of months! Take this week, for example: we’re going to see a range from the 20s to the 80s, and we’ve seen that over and over lately. Big trouble is coming your way if you happen to be aller-gic to ash juniper (aka cedar) pollen! Most all of our cedars have had a freeze, and the warm temperatures are going to spark pollination, and you know what that means!

It’s probably time to lay in a stock of your favorite al-lergy medicines, and it’s time to start drinking cedar tea, if that works for you. Our recent drought has caused many ce-dars to drop their berries ear-ly, so it might even be hard to fi nd a stock of those for your tea. Not to fear! On a recent trip to Whole Foods I saw some ash juniper berries in the bulk food area for a mere $29.99 a pound! Is that unbe-lievable, or what? But, those were probably “certifi ed or-ganic,” so they might be bet-ter than those growing in our fi elds. What do you think?

Library NewsIf you missed last week’s

column, then please be aware that the new Joann Cole Mitte Memorial Library will not open on its target date of Dec. 20. Library Director Ann Brock wants to let you all know that the new opening date will be sometime in early January. If you have books which are due on Dec. 20, do not de-

spair. Just turn them in when the library opens and Judy and Ann will fi x it so you don’t have a fi ne.

Once the old library is to-tally empty the Library Thrift Store will move into that space. It’s hard to say exactly when this will happen, but a guesstimate is by mid-Febru-ary. Stay tuned for updates.

The site of the current Li-brary Thrift Store has been bought by Bertram’s Econom-ic Development Corporation, and in a couple of months or so it will become a Senior Cit-izen’s Center. You may have noticed that the wood work around the windows has been repainted as have the bench-es along side of the building. Spread the word that this new venue is coming to Bertram. It should be a wonderful meet-ing place for our seniors and will provide them an oppor-tunity to get out and enjoy games and companionship.

Church News

Everyone is invited to at-tend the following events: First United Methodist Church’s Candlelight Service will be Dec. 24 at 7 p.m.; Joppa Church will have a Candlelight service on Dec. 24 at 6 p.m.; Cum-

berland Presbyterian Church will hold their Candlelight ser-vice and Communion on Dec. 24 at 6 p.m.; and First Baptist Church will hold their candle-light service on Dec. 24 at 6 p.m. Call other churches for special services.

Odds ‘n EndsThings are going well at the

Bertram Recycle Center (BRC), and Recycle Coordinator Ken Odiorne wishes to thank all of you that recycle responsibly. He recently reported a small problem - seems that some-one has taken the BRC water hose, which is a most impor-tant piece of equipment to our volunteers. Can you imagine sorting and packing all those recyclables and not having any way to clean up? Odiorne has a special message for the person or persons responsible for the theft: “This is a special enchanted hose. Right now it might seem to be a normal wa-ter hose, but come the spring thaw, the hose will turn into a nest of vipers. Enjoy!”

Many of you have called or emailed and asked why PEC doesn’t have the tree lit in front of their Bertram offi ce. It’s a simple matter of eco-nomics; they’re trying to save money, and that tree costs a lot to decorate and undeco-rate, not to mention the elec-tricity it burns. From what I understand, the only PEC of-fi ce to have a lit tree is the one in Johnson City.

Yesterday, according to NASA, was the fi rst time in 372 years that a lunar eclipse oc-curred on the winter solstice, also known as the shortest day (and longest night) of the year. Starting at about 1 a.m.

on Dec. 21, the Earth passed between the moon and the sun, casting a reddish-am-ber shadow over the moon. If you’re a night owl, you can tell

the rest of us all about it!That’s all the local news for

this week. If you have items of interest to the community you’d like to see in this col-

umn, email me at marciem@pgrb.com. Your deadline is Saturday. I wish all of you a wonderful Christmas, and I hope you get some rain!

HIGHLAND LAKES NEWSPAPERS

The Burnet city council has begun the process of rezoning a 184-acre parcel of land owned by the late city councilman and philanthropist Frank Fickett.

The property is located along E. Polk Street from just east of the Airy Mount Bed and Breakfast to the railroad tracks and southwest to Coke Street and Westfall Street.

At its regular meeting Dec. 14 the council conducted a public hearing on proposed rezoning of the property, then later approved the fi rst reading of two or-dinances amending the zoning status of the property.

The property is being divided into two parcels for the purpose of the rezoning, city building offi cial Roy Fyffe told the council members.

If the ordinances pass at a second read-ing at a future council meeting, part of the

property will be rezoned from agricultural to heavy commercial and part from single family residential to light industrial.

In other action, the council:•Approved $1.5 million in tax notes

to pay for capital improvements, includ-ing water and sewer lines, fi re trucks and other large utility equipment.

•Passed a resolution to receive a grant of $10,000 from the Texas Department of Transportation to pay for improvements to the Burnet Municipal Airport.

•Authorized city staff to negotiate a contract with Sledge Engineering for con-struction of the proposed public safety fa-cility near the airport.

•Awarded a contract of $24,000 to Cer-tifi ed Inspection Services for the inspec-tion of repairs to city water tanks on Post Mountain Road.

•Renewed an interlocal agreement with Emergency Services District No. 7 to reim-burse the city $50,0000 for fi re protection in the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction.

HIGHLAND LAKES NEWSPAPERS

State District Judge Gil Jones has ordered Lynda Mescher, convicted of man-slaughter in August in the death of an 11-year-old girl, to refrain from work-ing with children while she remains free on appeal, but declined a request by prosecutors to revoke or increase her appeal bond.

Mescher was sentenced to eight years in prison in the death of Brianna Plehn, who was riding in the back of Mescher’s pickup and was killed when the truck fl ipped as Mescher was do-ing “doughnuts” at Grelle Recreation Area near Spice-wood on Jan. 19, 2009.

Five other children who were riding in the pickup were injured and in ad-dition to the manslaugh-ter charge, Mescher was convicted and sentenced to four years in prison on

a serious bodily injury charge and two years each for four counts of injury to a child.

At the conclusion of the trial, Mescher’s lawyer, Ed-die Schell of Marble Falls, said his client would ap-peal and Jones, who was the presiding judge, al-lowed her to remain free on $20,000 bond.

Jones’ Friday decision was unpopular with Plehn’s family, some relatives of the injured children and others in the Spicewood community.

Prosecutors fi led a mo-tion in Jones’ 33rd Judi-cial Court on Wednesday asking to have Mescher’s appeal bond revoked or modifi ed.

Revocation of the bond would have meant Mescher would be held in jail until her appeal was heard.

Prosecutors said in their motion that Mescher, who operated a Spicewood horse-riding ranch with a clientele consisting largely of children, had continued working with children while waiting for her appeal to be heard.

“The bond conditions do require that if the defen-dant is around children, she must have an adult present,” prosecutors said in the motion. “Because of the jury’s punishment de-cision, the state is request-ing that she no longer be allowed to continue any activities with children.

“The state hereby charges that the defen-dant’s terms of the present bond are insuffi cient and that the defendant poses a danger to the safety of the community.

“In light of the nature of the charges of which she was convicted, the state believes that defendant’s bond is inadequate to pro-tect the safety of the com-munity, and . . . the state respectfully requests the court to incorporate addi-tional conditions as part of defendant’s bond or to re-voke said appeal bond.”

In ruling on the motion, Jones ordered conditions of Mescher’s appeal bond altered to forbid her from continuing any activities with children while her ap-peal continues.

From the Dawg House

MerryChristmas!

It was a weekend full of fun for our family and it’s not even Christmas yet.

Our family reunion sized gift exchange gave the kiddos and adults the feeling that comes with giving and receiving.

There were lots of laughs, especially when a kitty-cat outfit was revealed.

We jumped in our cars to see the Hill Country light displays on Sunday evening and there are some good ones out there.

I recommend anyone who hasn’t visited the Llano walkway-of-lights on the river to go.

Eugene Long, owner of Lighted Arts in Llano, plays a huge role in putting together the dazzling display of lights and gave our family a guided tour through a long display of animated motion arts.

Rewinding to Friday night I watched Coach Kiser’s varsity Basket-ball boys fall behind a little in the early going versus San Saba but they came back and stormed past the Dillos with a relentless press that worked to near perfection.

Coach Cavender’s Lady Dawgs took down Mason’s Cowgirls with a 57-50 win.

There were no stats for the boys versus San Saba but it was know that the JV boys throttled San Saba in a big way to the point of, stats can’t be released until the next of kin had been notified.

The Dallas Cowboys almost blew it but col-lected another W.

With the Christmas break comes lots of good bowl games including the TCU versus Wiscon-sin Rose Bowl game that will have former Burnet Bulldog Ross Evans playing in it.

The Rose Bowl is scheduled for Jan. 1 at 4 p.m. Good luck to Ross and the Horned Frogs who are currently ranked at No. 3.

Last but not least I also took part in a fun benefit flag football tournament in Copperas Cove over the weekend.

Our Burnet squad made it to the semifi-nals, how I found time, I’m not sure but it was a fun trip with the guys.

That reminds me, a big congratulations to a Saturday teammate, Cody Warner, on the birth of his new baby boy, Jaxon who was born a couple of week’s back.

Congrats to Jaxon’s mother Whitney as well, he’s a beautiful baby.

Christmas is this Saturday so I hope all you parents are ready for the big day. I know our shopping has been finished one, two, three, maybe four times.

That’s all for this week, thanks for read-ing the Burnet Bulletin.

Things coming together for Lady Dawgs

Burnet’s varsity Lady Bulldogs played two games last week and picked-up two more wins for their efforts.

Coach Mike Cavender said he is pleased at where the girls are right now in the season. “Things may be starting to come togeth-er for us. In the last couple of games our defensive in-tensity has really been sol-id and it has made a huge difference, especially last week against Boerne.”

“Everything else we do just feeds off it,” added the girls coach.

“Against Boerne we finished like you are sup-posed to finish a game, we got the lead, kept our focus, and put them away which is something we have been learning how to do at this level. The men-tal side of the game has to be there from start to fin-ish,” said Cavender.

After defeating Boerne last Monday night, 58-26 the Lady Dawgs improved their overall record to 7-8, and with their victory over Mason on Friday team green evened things up go-ing into the break at 8-8.

On Monday the Lady Dawgs came out ready to play and knocked down 16 points to Boerne’s four in the first period alone.

Each team scored eight in the second but Cav’s girls held on to a 24-12 advantage at the break.

In the third Burnet put up 15 more while hold-ing Boerne to just 10, and finished the fourth even stronger with a 19-4 mark which earned them the 58-26 win.

As a team the Lady Dawgs did a great job when tested at the free-throw line making 70 percent of their shots. They also did a great job under the bas-ket doubling Boerne’s re-bounds with 42 total, 18 offensive.

They also posted 14 as-sists, 19 steals, and three blocked shots.

Kati Maldonado was the team leading scorer with

18 points. She also added up four rebounds, five as-sists, and four steals.

Leah Cotton led in the steals department with five. Cotton scored 14, pulled in three rebounds, and dished out three.

Shannon Dyer scored seven, had seven re-bounds, two assists, and four steals.

Ashten Huddleston scored four points, had five rebounds, one assist, two blocked shots, and two steals.

Jessica Robinson add-ed four points, four re-bounds, one block, and one steal.

Casey Jo Stevens scored four points, had four re-bounds, and one assist.

Peyton Revelle got on the board with three points, one rebound, one assist, and one steal.

Bryanika Grady scored two points, while contrib-uting six rebounds, and two steals.

Kaylee Adams added two points, Shelby Lastly had one rebound, and Ni-cole Wilfong turned in six rebounds.

On Friday the Lady Dawgs hosted Mason’s Cowgirls and this turned out to be a much closer game.

Again Burnet came out fired-up and ready to play in the first quarter scor-ing 21 points to Mason’s five, but the tables were quickly turned in the sec-ond period.

The Cowgirls came up with a good game plan that allowed them to hold Burnet to just eight points, while they tallied 20, but the Lady Dawgs were still leading at he break, 29-25.

Burnet pulled away a little more in the third with a 19-14 advantage, and while Mason tried to make a come back in the fourth, 11-9, Burnet’s ear-lier lead stood strong giv-ing them the 57-50 win.

As a team the Lady Dawgs shot better from the field but was a little off from the charity stripe.

They had another nice rebounding performance

with 33-12 offensively. Defensively they produced 16 steals and four blocked shots.

Maldonado and Cotton both scored double-dig-its with Maldonado post-ing 23 points, followed by Cotton with 22.

Maldonado also turned in one rebound, two as-sists, and eight steals.

Cotton had nine re-bounds, one assist, and three steals.

Stevens scored seven

points and one rebound.Dyer added three

points, five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal.

Adams posted two points, three rebounds, and one steal.

MaKenzie came-up with a block, while Rob-inson pulled in three rebounds.

Huddleston had three rebounds, three assists, and one block.

Grady led with eight

rebounds, and also pro-duced a block and two steals, while Lastly fin-ished with one steal.

The Lady Dawgs will be back in action on Dec. 27-29 at the Gatesville tournament.

On Friday Dec. 31 they will host Giddings at 11:30 a.m. followed by a Tuesday, Jan. 4 game at Brownwood. District is set to begin on Friday, Jan. 7 with a home game against Liberty Hill.

Split week for Bulldogs

Despite being fouled Varsity Bulldog Grant Cole makes the bucket and then swishes his free-throw shot for a three point play during Friday night’s win over San Saba.

Coach Roy Kiser and the varsity Burnet Bulldog basketball team played two games last week for their final contests before the Christmas break.

The first was a road game at Wimberley, the second was a home con-test against San Saba.

On Tuesday night the Dawgs took their talents to the home of the Texans which is always a tough place to play.

Johnny Mosley hit a three-point bucket for Burnet early in the first, and after that Burnet’s shots all pretty much came from the line.

Nick Melvin was tested and cashed in on four of six attempts. Grant Cole also stepped up to the line and made two of three, as well as a bucket from the field giving Burnet 11 in the quarter. Wimber-ley matched that perfor-mance so things were tied going into the second.

Melvin, Cole, and Mos-ley added more in the sec-ond and Grant Guenther got on the board with one bucket, but the Dawgs only managed nine to Wimberley’s 14 and were trailing 25-20 at the break,

Caden Connolly popped a three in the third but the offense just wasn’t there for the Daw-

gs who only added eight in the period.

Wimberley continued pushing the pace adding 12 more increasing their lead to 37-28.

Offensively things were better for Burnet in the final period.

Chad May got in on the action with six points in the period.

Jacob Pollard hit two buckets and was fouled on one. He also cashed in the free-throw for five in the period.

Cole hit one free-throw, and Connolly added one bucket for two giving Burnet 14 in the period.

Wimberley did a good job at the free-throw line in the final period and was able to add up 15 for the 52-42 win.

Cole led the scoring attack for Burnet with nine points.

May was next on the list with eight, Melvin fin-ished with seven, Pollard posted five, as did Con-nolly, Mosley added up four, Sean Berg scored two, and Guenther con-tributed two.

While final stats were not available for the San Saba game on Friday it was known that the Bull-dogs picked-up a win.

Burnet will play in the Gatesville tournament Dec. 27-28. They will host Copperas Cove on Friday, Dec. 31.

Fourth-quarter heartbreak for JV

Burnet’s JV Bulldogs made the trip to Wimberley last Tuesday night and played a near perfect game. The team did a great job hitting buckets from the fi eld and from the line only missing three foul shots the entire game.

In the fi rst period Jordan Bar-nard led the way with eight points, and with the help of Colby Walker who scored six, and Damaien Bel-marez who scored four the Dawgs posted 18.

Wimberley only scored nine giv-ing Burnet a nice early lead.

Burnet’s scoring slowed a bit in the second with fi ve points from Jai Patel, two from Barnard, and

two from Walker which left the door open for the Texans.

Wimberley took advantage add-ing up 16 in the period but were still trailing 27-25 at the break.

In the third period Jimmy Caufman was a perfect two of two from the line. Walker hit all four of his free-throw attempts plus one bucket for six in the period. Bar-nard added two more, and Belmarez one giving Burnet 11 in the third. Wimberley scored eight so the Daw-gs were still in the drivers seat with a 38-33 lead going into the fi nal period.

Six different Dawgs knocked down points in the fi nal period in-cluding Patel, Barnard, Walker, Weston Ramos, Caufman, and Hunter Allen for 14 total.

Wimberley, who entered the pe-riod trailing by fi ve outscored Bur-net by six for the heartbreaking win, 53-52.

Walker was the gym leader with 18 points in the contest. He was a perfect four of four from the line.

Barnard was next with 14 points, Patel fi nished with seven, Belmarez added fi ve, Caufman scored four, Allen got on the board with two, as did Ramos.

The JV boys will return to action on Friday, Dec 31 with a home game against Copperas Cove at 11:30 a.m.

Following that they will play on Friday, Jan. 7 at New Braunfels at 6:30 p.m. District games for the boys will not begin until Friday, Jan. 14 at Lampasas.
