TOURof DUTY

BY DANIEL CLIFTONPicayune Editor

KINGSLAND — At 77, Bill Evans is no stranger to the road. As a young buck of 16, he and a buddy slipped away from home and enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. After a stint with the Marines, including a trip to Korea during that war, Evans landed in New Mexico, where he served as a deputy sher-iff. But it was in Alaska, where his brother lived, that Evans eventually settled for many years. Though “settled” might be a misnomer because even in Alaska, Evans spent a great deal of time

on the road, whether it was check-ing remote facilities for the Coast Guard or the government or touring with his band, the Timber Tramps. Evans, however, enjoyed some of his warmest receptions during his most recent trip. While it didn’t include climbing a 1,300-foot tower in subzero temperatures, fishing with John Wayne or opening for David Frizell and Shelly West (each of which he has done), the recent five-state journey reminded him and his wife and traveling companion, Connie Evans, about the importance of remembering those who many

Connie and Bill Evans recently returned from

a five-state tour during which

they entertained veterans and

disabled veter-ans. The couple

was returning home and

was between Lampasas and

Burnet when the engine in their

van seized. They hope to find a

replacement engine so they

can return to the road to visit other veterans’

homes. STAFF PHOTO BY

BURNET — Scott Gillaspia grew up visiting Longhorn Cavern State Park, dreaming of “rescuing the damsel in distress and finding treasure.” Today, he might not have found that treasure, but Gillaspia does res-cue people from the cave as com-

mander of STORM (Strange Terrain Organized Rescue Members). “We get down there and, if they fall in more extreme parts of the cave, rescue them and backboard them,” Gillaspia said. “A lot of us are paramedics, firefighters and some law enforcement, so we’ve got the basics on how to treat patients and people.” STORM volunteer members

train at Longhorn Caverns and have rescued a number of people from the caverns and other hard-to-reach places in the surrounding area since the team’s creation in 1999. Michelle Devaney, who manages the park with husband Shawn, has worked closely with STORM since 2000. As a show of appreciation and

people have forgotten. “We have all these veterans who are in these homes and hospitals that nobody really thinks about,” Bill Evans said. “They’re just wanting somebody to come by and visit with them.” In Evans’ case, he broke out his gui-tar and instruments and entertained the veterans, many of them disabled. “It was wonderful to see their responses,” his wife said. “They really appreciated what we were there doing.” The two loaded up their Chevy van and, along with their three dogs, hit the road in June. The journey started at Kerrville Veterans Hospital. Evans wasn’t sure what to expect. The staff dropped a CD that Evans recorded in 1985 in Nashville into the player and turned it up as he entered the hospital. At first, only a few veterans gathered in the chairs before him. But with almost 70 years of entertaining under his belt, Evans knew how to draw a crowd and then keep them. Within a few minutes, staff members were bringing in veterans in wheelchairs and even in beds. For the next three hours, Evans entertained. He even challenged himself by asking for requests. Evans, who has probably 138,000 songs in his comput-er, never missed one. He even nailed Hoagy Carmichael’s “Buttermilk Skies” when somebody called for it. From Kerrville, the Evans group headed north. They stopped at veterans’ homes and facilities in Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas and Illinois. With only their Social Security checks supporting them, the couple would play in VFW and American Legion halls (and an occasional bar) to raise traveling money. “We’d play two or three halls or bars for gas money and then go on to the next place,” Evans said. Evans began performing as a tod-dler when his father, a musician him-self, just basically sat him in a spot one day and told him, “Sing.” When he moved to Alaska in 1957 (before it was even a state) and was working as one of the territory’s first sworn correction’s officers, Evans still found time to perform. Which wasn’t always easy, since as a correction’s offi-cer, the frontiersman often found him-self heading out in the bush searching for wanted men. While in Alaska, he owned sever-al businesses, lived in Dutch Harbor before it was the thriving seaport it is now and even helped get water and wastewater facilities for the numerous Native American villages in the state. Amid all that, he routinely toured with the Timber Tramps and rubbed elbows with some of the biggest names in country music, including Ernest

Tubb, Willie Nelson and Ray Price. “It was just a life few men get to experience,” Evans said. All those experiences, lessons and stories Evans folded up into his enter-tainer’s heart and offered to the veterans and their families he and his wife met on their recent tour. “I think having me come in and entertain them meant a lot to those vet-erans,” Evans said. “I know it meant a lot to me.” The trip took them as far north as Grafton, Ill., before they headed back to Texas. As they rambled south of Lampasas, the Evans’ van broke down. The engine seized up. A truck towed it to Mitchell’s Automotive in Kingsland. The mechan-ics told the couple they needed a new engine for the van.

“They offered to replace it if I can find another one,” Evans said. “So, I’m looking for anybody who has a 350 (engine) they want to help me out with.” Though the couple stopped at numerous veterans’ homes during the recent outing, both said the journey is far from over. “We get calls all the time from vet-erans’ homes that want us to come,” Connie Evans said. Bill Evans nodded. “I’d really like to get to most of them before winter,” he said. “At 77 and still able to do something for them, what better way than entertaining vet-erans. I don’t know how much longer I’ll be upright, but after seeing all those vets and seeing how appreciative they are, I’ll keep doing it as long as I can.” [email protected]

thanks, Devaney presented team mem-bers with specialized equipment at the park Aug. 9. “If anything happens, these guys are trained and they know my facili-ty,” Devaney said. “They have assist-ed in a number of rescues that went off very, very well because of that training.” The bags, pulleys and rope might seem simple but cost a lot on a vol-unteer budget. “I want to make sure they have the things they need. When I call them up in a panic and I’ve got an issue here, they’ve got everything they need,” Devaney said. “That’s just my way of saying ‘thank you.’” Members said they appreciated the gift and Devaney’s continued support. “(Devaney) lets us come out here and do our thing, and we’ve helped with trail maintenance,” STORM treasurer Janet Goble said. STORM has responded to cave

and missing person rescues in Burnet, Llano, Lampasas and San Saba coun-ties since forming. The team currently has about 10 active members and is open to potential volunteers. Some of their newest members have more hair than most. Valor, an 11-month-old Australian shepherd, is training to be one of a few rescue dogs in the group. The dogs can be a comfort to peo-ple in a rescue situation. “If we’re not immediately able to get to a person, we can put water in a backpack, a walkie-talkie, and (the dog) could be a comfort until we are organized enough to get our equip-ment together and make a rescue,” team member Travis Warren said. The team trains at Longhorn Caverns about once a month. Anyone interested in learning more about the group can email Gillaspia at [email protected] or search for “S.T.O.R.M.” on Facebook.

MARBLE FALLS — Shooters can hone their skills and help Highland Lakes causes at the same time. The Marble Falls Daybreak Rotary Club’s 10th annual Skeet Shoot is Aug. 17 at Copperhead Creek Shooting Club. The fundraiser also includes a tac-

tical pistol shoot in addition to the skeet shoot. It will be the second year the club has offered the tactical shoot. Daybreak Rotarians also are sell-ing tickets for a chance to win a Sig Sauer P938 and a three-night stay for two at Canyon of the Eagles. Tickets are $10 each or six for $50. Jeffrey Bartz, president-elect of the club, said the skeet shoot is the primary fundraiser for more than a dozen groups benefitted by the event. However, one new project has the club aiming high. Bartz said the Adoption Awareness project is a new program the club wants to help get going. “We need to get to (a total of) $15,000, if we can. That’s our target,” Bartz said. Shooting begins at 9 a.m., and a barbecue lunch is included. The skeet shoot is $65 per person and includes shells. The tactical shoot is $35 per person, but participants

must provide their own ammo. Volunteer Mark McDonald is helping coordinate the tactical shoot and setting up the course. The tactical course includes tar-gets for participants to shoot as they move through a series of positions. “You’re put in situations that will be more realistic to what could hap-pen if you have to confront them,” McDonald said. “It’s just a little more aggressive and a step up from what most people are used to.” McDonald said he and other vol-unteers will show shooters through the course and explain how each shoot should work. Scores are deter-mined by a combination of accuracy on the target and the time to complete the course. Registration is due Aug. 14 for skeet or tactical shooters. Call Bartz at (830) 265-0850 for more information. [email protected]

FINANCIAL FOCUS: Avoid "Cramming" for College Savings

If you have children, you’re

keenly aware that it’s getting

close to back-to-school time. But

someday, “back to school” will

mean “off to college.” Will you be

financially prepared for that day?

College is expensive. But you

can help yourself by saving early

and often.

For example, if you started

saving when your child was 3,

and you contributed $200

monthly for 15 years earning 7

percent a year, you’d accumulate

about $64,000.

But if you waited until your child

was 13, and you saved the same

$200 per month earning the

same 7 percent a year, you’d

have accumulated about $15,000

by the time your child was ready

for college. Of course, these

examples are hypothetical and

don’t reflect the performance of

an actual investment or strategy.

Whichever college savings

method you choose, you’ll find

that saving early and often can

make a big difference when

paying for the high costs of

higher education.

SHIRLEY HALL POPE Shirley Hall Pope, age 78, passed away August 4, 2013, in San Antonio, Texas. She was born July 3, 1935, in Annona, Texas, to Sidney Owie and Edith Embree Hall. The youngest of thirteen chil-dren, Shirley was a basketball star at Annona High School. As soon as she graduated, Shirley left for Dallas but always stayed close to her family. In Dallas, she worked for the phone company and Sun Oil. She met and married Robert “Bob” Pope and, due to his job responsibilities, traveled the Midwest. Shirley had a great eye for décor and was able to make each house into a home where she liked to play her piano, paint or just read a good, juicy biography. She sold antiques, painted and sold real estate, all while shuttling the children between sports, music and newspaper routes. She was devoted to her family, which included several generations. Shirley and her husband retired in San Antonio. Her stories and those about her will be told for many years to come. She was preceded in death by her parents, six sisters, three broth-ers, and her husband, Bob. She is survived by her children, Tina and Ken, Kelly and Richard, Leanne and David; four granddaughters, Lauren, Katlyn, Hannah and Madison; sisters, Dorothy Nash, Evelyn McCulloch and her husband, Gaines; brother, John Hall; and an unlimited number of nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. A memorial service was held Saturday, August 10, 2013, at the Porter Loring North Chapel in San Antonio, Texas. You are invited to sign the guest-book at www.porterloring.com.

in utilizing technology as well. “We’re going to try to involve more technology in our teaching as far as sharing information across the district. We would like for teachers to share information they are success-ful with,” he said. “We’re trying to make it more open to everybody. We can share and use technology to do that. Maybe even with other districts; share best practices.” Of Callahan’s 13 years as an edu-cator, he spent 10 of those years as a teacher, an assistant principal and a principal. Before coming to Llano, the 36-year-old Mason native worked for three years at Thorndale ISD. He joined the district last year as assistant superintendent. His work with the previous super-intendent prepared him for the chal-lenges of leading a 3A district with 1,830 students. “That has probably been a huge blessing for me before I took over as superintendent,” he said. “I had a fantastic individual who I followed, which is Mr. (Dennis) Hill, so I learned the district and was able to see a lot of the things that were going on.”

Hill was with the district for 31 years before accepting a position as Llano ISD special projects consultant from June through July 2014. At the end of his tenure, he was instrumental in outlining the need for a $5.8-million bond package. Projects include roof mainte-nance for the junior high, heating and air-conditioning upgrades, comput-ers and programs, repairs to school buses, new band uniforms and resur-facing the track and tennis courts. “We’ve had quite a bit of change in the last two years. I’ve been very excited about all of that change,” Callahan said. “The school board and staff are fantastic. They really do have the best interest of the kids at heart, and that’s all you can ask for.” [email protected]

BERTRAM — Burnet County schools are giving a revision to the old stand-by of reading, writing and arthithmetic thanks to a federal grant to provide enrichment programs and opportunities for students. “It’s not even outside the box, it’s throwing the box away,” said Jason Zoll, Bertram Elementary’s after-school coordinator. The program, called the Burnet County Consortium ACE Program, doesn’t replace the regular classroom studies and activities; it offers students a range of enrichment studies — both academic and non-academic — before

or after classes. “It’s something beyond your nor-mal academics,” Zoll said. “It’s about rounding out the whole person.” The program could include guitar lessons, sports activities, art classes or even small-engine repair. The offerings all depend on two things: student inter-ests and instructors. Zoll is reaching out to community members interested in teaching a class. “Maybe there’s somebody who has a hobby and wants to share it,” he said. “It really is totally open to what people want to teach as long as it’s appropriate for the students.” Earlier this year, Burnet and Marble Falls school districts joined efforts in applying for a 21st Century Community Learning Centers Grant as the Burnet

County Consortium. Out of 340 appli-cations, 19 earned the funding. The beauty of the grant, Zoll said, is it really does leave the implementation and program to the imagination of the folks closest to the students. In the Burnet school district, the program includes Bertram Elementary, Burnet Elementary, R.J. Richey Elementary and Burnet Middle School. In the Marble Falls district, Highland Lakes Elementary, Marble Falls Middle School and Marble Falls High School are initially instituting the program. And with each campus, the classes and enrichment opportunities probably will look a bit different. “Each campus can develop classes and programs that are best for that cam-pus,” Zoll said. “But at the same time,

we have so many campuses that we can also share resources.” The program is free and open to all students. “We also see this as a way to get

kids excited about school,” he added.Anybody interested in instructing a class or helping out, may call Zoll at (512) 715-5192 or (512) 355-2111. [email protected]

CAMP PERRY, Ohio — Four na t iona l championsh ips and record-breaking finishes during the month of July propelled shooter Katie Bridges to another honor. The 18-year-old is the first junior in American history to qualify and com-pete in all the international matches in one season.

“I was expecting to shoot and have fun and, hopefully, do well,” said the 2012 Marble Falls High School grad-uate. “I wasn’t expecting all those other things.” She set six records for juniors while competing at the Firecracker 4800 that are being processed at the National Rifle Association, associa-tion member Lones Wigger said. I n t h e A n y S i g h t s Te a m Championship, she had difficulty

with the scope and wasn’t able to hit a paper target. Coaches and teammates moved the scope for her and used a dirt clod to check the accuracy. The result was capturing the NRA Metric Prone National Championship by one point over Michelle Bohren. Bridges and 84-year-old Joe Farmer paired for team matches. Calling themselves The Young and The Very Old, the two won the Iron Sights team national championship and the National Metric Prone Team Championship. Bridges was a member of the USA Perishing Team. The Americans beat the British by 12 points. The American and British women faced each other in the Goodwill Randle International Team Match, which the U.S. team won by two points. She also was a member of the Randle International Women’s Team Match, the Drew Cup Junior Team and the Dewar International Team Match. The U.S. team faces international squads, but those teams compete in their countries at a different time and then turn in their scores.

Burnet vet honored as Man of the Year in Texas Agriculture HORSESHOE BAY — Highland Lakes veterinarian Dan McBride has been named Man of the Year in Texas Agriculture by the Texas County Agricultural Agents Association.

The award was presented July 30 during a banquet as part of the asso-ciation’s annual meeting, which was held in Horseshoe Bay this year. McBride owns Burnet Veterinary Clinic, 2500 U.S. 281 in Burnet. “Each year, the TCAAA gathers together a small group of individuals who have made a difference in the

lives of Texans,” said Wade Hibler, Texas A&M AgriLIFE Extension Service agent in Burnet County and the association’s new president. Hibler said McBride was rec-ognized not only for his veterinary service to clientele in Burnet and the region but also for his efforts and pas-sion for wildlife preservation. According to Hibler, McBride not only assists the extension service with its educational efforts but also helps the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Texas Wildlife Association, the Texas Deer Association, the Boone and Crockett Club, the Buckskin Brigade Camps and several other organizations. McBride is a member of the Texas Veterinary Medical Association, director and regional chairman of the Texas Wildlife Association’s Desert Big Game committee, president of the Texas Taxidermy Association and a member of the Boone and Crockett Club.

BURNET — Ronald Harrod, the junior vice commander of Highland Lakes VFW Post 6974, knows what he wants for the local post. “My objective is to make this a model post for posts all across the country,” he said. “We’ve had our struggles, but we’re working hard to make things good.” The first step is the Highland Lakes VFW Post 6974 fish fry fundraiser Aug. 17 at the facility, 1402 Buchanan Drive, starting at 3 p.m. The event includes live music and a large selec-tion of door prizes. Tickets for the event are $20 for adults and $16 for children. Harrod admitted the costs might appear a bit high, but he pointed out it includes some wonderful entertainment and chances for door prizes. But on top of that is the cause. “We do a tremendous amount for the community,” he said. “We give scholarships for the local high school students. There’s just a lot we do for the community that would be lost if we weren’t here.” And the main goal of the fundrais-er is just that: Keeping this particular VFW’s doors open. Already, the businesses and indi-viduals from Burnet and Marble Falls have rallied to support the Burnet post. “Everywhere I go, people say they’ll help,” Harrod said. “We have several restaurants and businesses helping out with the food and door prizes. It’s been great to see how peo-ple support the post and the veterans.” People have even volunteered to help out while Harrod and another post

officer were sitting and chatting at a Burnet restaurant. As the two talked, a couple stepped inside, noticed the two veterans’ VFW hats and struck up a conversation with them. As Harrod shared the VFW’s story and details about the upcoming fund-raiser, the couple didn’t just buy a tick-et, they offered to perform. “They said, ‘We’re musicians, and can we come out and play?’” Harrod said. “The support has been great.” The couple will entertain during the fish fry along with the Lake Bottom Jazz Combo. Harrod said folks can expect about three hours of music. “Oh, they’ll probably take a few breaks,” Harrod added with a laugh. While VFW posts seem rather ubiquitous, many people don’t really understand their role or what they do. And their main objective isn’t to host bingo games. VFWs can trace their roots to 1899 when veterans of the Spanish-American War and Philippine Insurrection organized to help secure rights and benefits for themselves. While they had served their country valiantly, many returned with injuries and little or no medical care. Since its inception, the VFW has been a leading voice for veterans issues and needs. “It’s an important organization, and this a good post,” Harrod said. “We’re dedicated to making this post the best.” For more information on the event or to help, call Harrod at (830) 613-7328.

BY KEVIN ATKINS

A recent study shows vitamins B6 and B12 combined with folic acid slowed deterioration of brain areas affected by Alzheimer’s disease. This inexpensive regimen is seen by scientists as a potential way to delay the onset of Alzheimer’s dis-ease and dementia, a goal that pre-scription drugs have failed to achieve. Currently approved prescription drugs only ease symptoms. “It’s the first and only dis-ease-modifying treatment that’s worked,” said A. David Smith, pro-fessor emeritus at Oxford University in England, suggesting the therapy should be targeted to people older than 70 with high homocysteine lev-els and memory problems. As people live longer, the num-ber afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease

and dementia is growing. “If you have somebody who has outright Alzheimer’s disease, this isn’t really going to help them much,” said Joshua Miller, a professor in the department of nutritional sciences at Rutgers University in New Jersey.

Atkins received a pharmacy degree from the University of Texas at Austin in 1984. Since 1994 he has owned and operated Atkins Pharmacy Services, 701 Third St. in Marble Falls. A sec-ond pharmacy is at 2607 U.S. 281 North. Call (830) 693-2972 or visit www.atkinspharmacy.com to reach him.

BURNET — Even as members of the Burnet High School band began preparing for the 2013 marching and football season, they reveled in the fact that, earlier this summer, the Association of Texas Small School Bands named their concert performance from this past school year the best in the state. “Last year, we won the bronze in the state marching competition, and now, this state championship (for concert) kind of solidifies Burnet as one of the elite programs in the state,” band direc-tor Kevin Heckaman said. In July, the association named its 2013 Outstanding Performance Series Winners in the concert band category. Bands in Class A through Class 3A submit recordings of their University Interscholastic League concert perfor-mances on CD for consideration. Judges listen and review all the entries before ranking them. This year, the Burnet High School band earned No. 1 in Class 3A for its performance of “Glaciers” by Scott Director. “Now, that performance will be included on a CD along with the other top performances,” said Heckaman, who directed the band during the award-win-ning performance. “This (CD) is for the whole world to hear. It’s quite an honor.” The band also earned a seventh-place state finish with its performance of “Symphonic Dance No. 3 — Fiesta” by Clifton Williams. This success isn’t new for the band. In 2011, members earned second in the Outstanding Performance Series for their concert performance of “Themes from Green Bushes” by Percy Grainger

and Larry Daehn with Heckaman direct-ing. All that success carries over. “Because of this and previous suc-cess, there’s more of an expectation to continue along that same path,” Heckaman said. “Even though those seniors who were part of (the OPS con-cert performance) have graduated, we still have a lot of kids who were a part of it here. And even those who weren’t, they understand what this band has accomplished. “That history of success is there, and they know it,” he added. The high school band wasn’t the only one earning association accolades. The Burnet Middle School band under the direction of Dusty Rhea earned a third-place finish in the Outstanding Performance Series in the Class CC con-cert competition for its recording of “La Madre de los Gatos” by Brian Beck. The middle school group also earned eighth place in the same series for its recording of “Joy” by Frank Ticheli. The middle school band’s per-formance of “Von Grrrhart’s 613th Regimental March” also earned the group fourth in the association’s Class CC marching competition. “We’re pretty strong top to bottom,” Heckaman said. “We, as a staff, are extremely pleased with how well the students are producing and how hard they are working right now.” But as the band members and staff celebrate the recent accolades, they aren’t resting on them. With the first high school football game about two weeks way, the high school band is focused on its marching, knowing that come half-time Aug. 30, all eyes will be on them. [email protected]

Taya Kyle (right) writes a message in her and her late husband’s book, “American

Gun,” to drag-boat racer Steve Prewit at the 22nd annual Marble Falls LakeFest

on Aug. 11. Her husband, slain Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, had started the book

about guns that have made a significant impact on American history when he was killed earlier this year along with another man as they attempted to help a former

Marine struggling with adjustments to life outside the military. Taya Kyle completed the book. She was invited to LakeFest by

drag-boat racer Marty Logan, who has dedicated this season to Chris Kyle and is raising money for Kyle’s family. Prewit

says he races for more than the thrill of competition. “All my boat races are

dedicated to wounded warriors,” he said. STAFF PHOTO BY JENNIFER FIERRO
