Secret to a long life: Get moving ... slowly

BY DANIEL CLIFTONPicayune Editor

BUCHANAN DAM — Harvey Klee just doesn’t live up to his 80 years. He laughs when a person reacts to his age claim. “At 80,” Klee starts, but before he can say anything else, the person interjects, “You’re 80?” It’s a combination of surprise and a ques-tion. Klee just smiles. “Yeah, I get that a lot,” said the silver-haired man with an easy grin. Klee, it seems, harbors a secret. An ancient Chinese secret. Well, the ancient Chinese part might be correct, but when it comes to secreting away a key to his youthfulness, Klee doesn’t keep it to himself. In fact, every Thursday at 9 a.m., Klee gives away his secret to anybody who

BURNET — The final free concert of the Summer Music Series features Steve Raby and True Grit on Aug. 3. The concert is part of a series sponsored by KBEY 103.9 FM Radio Picayune, The Picayune, Double Eagle Entertainment and the city of Burnet. It takes place at 8 p.m. at the Haley Nelson Park amphitheater, located off Texas 29 West. Steve Raby and True Grit is a Granger-based band that plays traditional country clas-sics and songs from the 1960s and 1970s. But while people might not be familiar with the band, most would probably recognize a band Raby was a member of for several years: Johnny Dee and the Rocket 88’s. Double Eagle Entertainment producer Damon Beierle said

Burnet County elections official gets seat at Albanian procedures


MARBLE FALLS — While Albania’s democratic elections have some problems, Burnet County Elections Administrator Barbara Agnew witnessed something during

the June process she wished she saw more of in America. “The young people are so passionate and engaged in the elections,” Agnew said. “They attend political rallies. They work in voting cen-ters. They are very involved in the process. I

BRIDGEWORK of art

St. John the Evangelist pastor crafts sculpture from old U.S. 281 bridge and glass as a reflection of Marble Falls

BY JARED FIELDSPicayune Staff

MARBLE FALLS — The Rev. Jairo Lopez knows how to make large, beautiful things out of a collection of smaller individual pieces. As pastor of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Marble Falls, Lopez works every day to turn the 800 families in his church

into a community. As an artist, Lopez loves working with small pieces of glass to form stained-glass mosaics. That’s why his vision for a sculpture to repre-sent the past, the present and the future of Marble Falls will be seen for generations to come.

The Rev. Jairo Lopez stands next to his sculpture on display in front of the Marble Falls Visitors Center, 100 Ave. G and U.S. 281 in Marble Falls, on July 26. Lopez was selected to create a sculpture that used pieces of the old U.S. 281 bridge in Marble Falls to represent the past, the present and the future of the city. A dedication will be held at the center at 4:30 p.m. Aug. 4 for Lopez’s sculpture and 100 pavers to be installed there in honor of community members. STAFF PHOTO BY JARED FIELDS

“When I work, I always think about a community, because when you put those little pieces together, you create a piece of art,” said Lopez, whose sculp-ture incorporates steel pieces from the old U.S. 281 bridge in Marble Falls and sits in front of the city’s visitor center, 100 Ave. G and U.S. 281. “But every piece is different. Different sizes, differ-ent colors. When they come together, they create a beautiful piece of art so it represents a community.” When the bridge was demolished in March, the city searched for an artist to create a sculpture for the visitors center that incorporated the bridge and was a reflection of the city. “Purely on merit, it was Father Lopez who was selected,” said Bill Rives, executive director of the Marble Falls/Lake LBJ Chamber of Commerce. “I’m just excited that we’ve got such a wonderful first impression for people as they come across the bridge.” The sculpture can be seen on the corner of Avenue G and U.S. 281, and the public is welcome to attend a dedication for the work of art and 100 pavers to be installed at the center at 4:30 p.m. Aug. 4. The sculpture is a 12-foot tall obe-lisk that represents fertility and pros-perity. “The concept of the obelisk is the meaning that Marble Falls is growing,” Lopez said. “As we experience that, we have to let a few things go and new things come.” Such as the demolition of the nearly 80-year-old steel bridge and the con-struction of two new structures. “That’s part of the process of grow-ing. Things will change,” Lopez said. The sculpture’s base is blue with mosaics on each of the four sides depicting water with fish and real piec-es of the old bridge sticking out. Above that is a section of the truss from the bridge. And above that are mosaics of bluebonnets and the Hill Country with bottoms from wine glass bottles reflect-ing different colors. “The glass, I’m fascinated with that, especially recycled glass,” Lopez said. “Being able to see the light come in through the glass like jewels is a very interesting thing.” Lopez said the glass came from local vineyards and from what the church uses in its services. And to top it off, the sculpture is finished with a granite point. Lopez worked for about a month with help from his brother, Jaime, to complete the sculpture. “When he put the first piece in, the base and lattice, people were bragging on it,” Rives said. “I said, ‘Hey, the best is yet to come.’” Lopez studied mosaics in Italy and has lived in Marble Falls for 13 years, he said. Other works of art Lopez has made can be seen at his church and also at St. Paul the Apostle Chapel in Horseshoe Bay and Russo’s restaurant on Steve Hawkins Parkway. Along with his life’s work as a Catholic priest, Lopez humbly accepts praise for the sculpture that also will be part of his legacy. “I’m really happy to leave a legacy to Marble Falls. That little piece will mark something that represents our community, so I’m very proud and happy that I was selected to do that, to leave that as a legacy.” [email protected]

BURNET — With the new school year fast approaching, parents are loading up with school supplies. But some kids might not have a new backpack, pens or other items to start off the year through no fault of their own. The Hill County Children’s Advocacy Center needs assistance gathering back-to-school supplies for its therapy children. “We probably won’t have more than 50 children,” said Doris Graeter of the center. “But the need is definitely there.” The advocacy center offers counseling and other services to youth who have been victimized during some time in their lives. The facility serves children in eight counties. It typically helps children who have been victims of sexual abuse, physical abuse or neglect or have witnessed a violent crime. The center does not charge the child or his or her family for the services. Graeter said the center hopes

to get the supplies to the children before classes start so the youth can begin the new year ready to go. “We’re accepting monetary donations or back-to-school items,” she said. A $50 donation will spon-sor one child. Some of the specific items need-ed are backpacks (boys, girls, uni-sex), facial tissue, 24-count boxes of crayons, Elmer’s glue, quart- or gallon-size sealable plastic bags, pencils, pens and folders. The center is trying to collect the donations by Aug. 12. Monetary donations can be mailed to: Hill Country Children’s Advocacy Center, P.O. Box 27, Burnet, TX 78611. People also can call the advo-cacy center at (512) 756-2607 to arrange for pick-up of donated sup-plies. “We would rather people give us a call so we can come and pick the items up because of the confi-dentiality of what we do here at the center,” Graeter said.

FROM STAFF REPORTS

COLLEGE STATION — The Llano County 4-H meats judging team landed the grand prize during the 2013 Texas 4-H Roundup at Texas A&M University on June 10-14. The team, consisting of James Smarr, Cole Perkins, Eli Tiffin and Shelby Martin, earned a trip to the American Royal in Kansas City, Mo., in October to compete at the nation-al level. Joe Dan Tarter coached the squad on its way to the grand prize. Overall, the Llano County teams brought home the 2013 Livestock Sweepstakes Award. The meats judging team was one of several that represented Llano County 4-H at the state roundup. The event draws youth from across the state who

placed in a qualifying district-lev-el roundup or who signed up for an invitational event. The Texas 4-H Roundup includes about 50 different contests and work-shops that test 4-H members on life skills such as decision making, pub-lic speaking, organization and work-ing with others. The contest includes competitions in fashion, food, judging and educational presentations. Three Llano County judging teams, one quiz bowl team and a scholarship recipient attended the state roundup. Jacey Smathers earned a Texas Extension Education Assocation scholarship. The Llano County 4-H Beef Quiz Bowl team of Perkins, Smarr and Smathers earned second in the com-

petition. The squad has the opportunity to compete at the national level next spring during the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Tommy Perkins coached the squad. While the meats judging team earned a grand prize as a whole, on the individual level, team members also did well. All four finished in the top 10 in individual competition with Smarr at No. 1, Cole Perkins at No. 2, Tiffin at No. 4 and Martin at No. 10. Another meats judging team rep-resenting Llano County consisted of Julianna Ball, Kathryn Cunningham, David Meier and David Forrister. The Llano County 4-H livestock judging team coached by Jamie Osbourn included Logan Bauer, Aaron Moss and Kyle Tarter.

would like to see that more here (in the United States).” Agnew recently returned from a trip to Albania, where she served as an international observer through Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. The June 26 elections drew 243 internation-al observers, including 20 from the United States. Agnew’s role was to observe, take notes and report back to OSCE offi-cials. She wasn’t there to advise or interject. “We went there to be the eyes of the mission, not the mouth,” she said. When the U.S. contingency arrived in Tirana, the capital of Albania, OSCE officials assigned them to one of the 15 teams scat-tered across the country to observe the elections, polling locations and ballot counting. Agnew was teamed up with a Greek observer, Christos, in the city of Shkodra. The trip, while interesting and exciting, was work. The day started at 6:30 a.m. with Agnew and Christos checking 10 polling locations. Though Albania gained inde-pendence from the Ottoman Empire

in 1912, it fell under the oppres-sive weight of more totalitarian regimes, first in 1939 after Italy conquered it and then in 1944 when the Communists took over the nation after World War II. The country held its first demo-cratic elections in 1991. Albanians headed to the polls in June to elect a new parliament, which, in turn, choses the president. While the United States and Albania are thousands of miles apart and one is just finding its own as a democracy, the election procedures are very similar. “They have a voters’ registration list, and the clerks check for the name as people come up to vote,” she said. The Albanians, like Americans, step into a booth and fill out a ballot. One of the things Agnew said she hopes Albania will utilize more in the future is electronic balloting. With 67 political parties on the ballot, making a selection and count-ing votes can be overwhelming. An interpreter and a driver accom-panied Agnew and her Greek part-ner. During the down times, Agnew learned a great deal about the country and Albanians through conversations with the two. While Albania elections are gener-

ally safe, at one point during the day, the driver informed Agnew a shooting had occurred at a city about 30 miles from the capital that left one person dead and a candidate wounded. After an argument, gunfire broke out near a polling station that killed a 49-year-old woman and wounded a 49-year-old candidate, according to reports. The cause of the argument and the shooting wasn’t known at the time or if it was even politically related, but it did cause Agnew some concern, especially after the polls closed and she accompanied a ballot box to a counting location. As she, the poll supervisor and others stood in line to turn in the box, the process seemed to come to a halt. The line quit moving. Agnew looked around and noted she was one of only a few women in the building. But as her nerves became a bit jangled, the driver’s son, Samuel, sidled up to her with a bottle of water from home. Her smile returned, and she stepped out of line to visit with Samuel and several other people. The election night passed without incident. The next day, Agnew returned to observe ballot counting. Ballot counting is conducted at tables. A team of people reviews each

ballot and tabulates the count. Each ballot is placed under a camera that broadcasts it to a nearby TV, so peo-ple, typically members of the political parties, also can keep count. “The ballot counting really draws a crowd,” Agnew said. When Agnew left Albania three days after the elections, the results hadn’t been determined. Eventually, the ruling party for the previous eight years found itself replaced by another party. With the trip behind her and the Texas elections on the horizon, Agnew said the experience was well worth it. “The Albanian people were so welcoming to us,” she said. “The country has a lot of problems, such as high unemployment, but I think they’re moving forward. In the capi-tal city, you could see a lot of cranes on the skyline. So, they are working and improving their infrastructure.” As for another trip as an inter-national election observer, Agnew hasn’t ruled it out, for herself or her staff. “I would love to go back to Albania in 10 or 12 years to see how much progress they’ve made,” Agnew said.

MARBLE FALLS — They say football is a religion in Texas. That’s why Faith Academy of Marble Falls head football coach Russ Roberts sounds like he’s talking about church. “Come with your questions, and we’re going to try to take an irreverent look at a sacred game,” Roberts said. For the second year in a row, Roberts is conducting a Mom’s Football Clinic to explain all the secrets of high school football for women (and perhaps a few men) who want to better understand the sport. “Anybody that wants to figure out

the secrets to high school football, we’re gonna share them all,” Roberts said. From the men in striped shirts mak-ing funny arm motions to the guy in pads and a helmet running around with the football, taped ankles, Xs and Os and man coverage, Roberts said he’ll explain it all. The clinic, 7 p.m. Aug. 6 on the Faith Academy campus, is Roberts’ attempt to answer the moms’ questions about football their husbands or sons might not explain. Roberts said the goal of the clinic is to have other members of the coaching staff and perhaps a referee and a doctor or a trainer talk about everything that

goes into playing football. “Moms feel left out. They don’t feel like their husbands and sons explain to them everything there is,” Roberts said. “It gives them a chance to ask questions and not do it in front of their husbands.” Roberts has given similar clinics at other schools where he has coached and said the idea came from his wife, Tricia. “The person that keeps remind-ing me to keep doing it is my wife,” Roberts said. “We had a great time last year and had a lot of fun. I think everybody enjoyed looking at the game through different eyes.” After a successful 2012 season

playing the school’s first year of 11-man football, Roberts said the Flames football team has grown. “I never thought we’d be up to 33 (players) this fast,” he said. The number of players will allow the team to field a handful of junior varsity games as well, which will pro-vide more players with more time on the field. Anyone interested in the camp can show up to the school’s activity center on the campus, 3151 RR 1431 East, for coffee and dessert, or call Roberts ahead of time at (830) 798-1333. The clinic is $15 to attend and goes toward food, officials and the trainer. [email protected]

Faith coach holding Mom’s Football Clinic

shows up to Highland Lakes United Methodist Church, 8303 RR 1431. For 90 minutes, Klee leads people through the simplistic-looking move-ment-and-breathing exercises he cred-its for a big part of his youthfulness. It’s tai chi. Or in Klee’s case, more precisely, Taijiquan, a form of the “soft” martial art. “Tai chi is what we call an internal martial art,” he explained. During a recent class, Francine Morris and Valarie Wilson joined Klee. Typically, the class attracts sev-eral more, but with summer vacations and visiting grandchildren, the numbers dwindled a bit. Klee, who showed up with a cane, didn’t mind. “As long as somebody is here and wants to learn, I’ll be here,” he said as he led the two women in warm-up exer-cises. The cane sits on a nearby table, never to be picked up again during or after the next 90 minutes. While Klee moves easily for a man his age, a bit of plantar fascia in his foot sneaks up on him now and then, causing a hobble. Five minutes into the Taijiquan class, all hints of any issues with his feet vanish. He looks as if he could break out into a tap dance at any moment (if he knows how to tap dance). Today, Taijiquan features a series of slow, planned-out movements. It start-ed in China several hundred years ago as a combative form. Klee explained that with the Chinese invention of gun powder and the advent of weapons, martial arts such as Taijiquan didn’t play such an important role anymore. “But practitioners noticed some-thing,” Klee said. “People who prac-ticed the form lived longer. They lived healthier lives. They had less pain and less stress.” Klee became enamored with

Taijiquan many years ago upon hearing about its benefits. After several years of studying it, he had the opportunity to become a certified instructor when a group from Bejing were in New York to offer certification. Then, he put the word out for any-one interested in learning. Highland Lakes Methodist Church offered a place to hold the classes, and people began attending. As he led the recent class with Morris and Wilson, they practiced moves such as “play the lute,” “repulse the monkey” and “eagle claw.” Klee broke down the routine, going over each particular move for the two attendees. Then, he stepped back and watched them, offering corrections when necessary. Finally, the three worked their way through a series of movements. “It’s like a moving meditation,” Klee said after class. Even watching it, one felt a sense of calm, peace and well-being. There’s no music, no speaking. The only sound is the whirring of the six ceiling fans. Klee, Morris and Wilson slipped from one posture to the next. The movements were slow and deliberate. He later explained that moving slowly helps practitioners focus on balance, proper alignment and breathing. With a list of benefits that include helping curb arthritis, promoting better balance and lung capacity as well as strengthening mental acuity, the moti-vation to practice Taijiquan every day between classes seems overwhelming. Or maybe the best motivation comes by just watching Klee move and laugh. He appears to know the secret to a long and healthy life. You don’t even need to ask what the secret is, just show up every Thursday at 9 a.m., and he’ll teach it to you. [email protected]

he wanted to book this band because of the diversity of the music it plays. “Everyone in a family is going to enjoy this concert as a whole,” he said. Raby has written several songs, Beierle said. But he and True Grit also perform a lot of cover tunes. “He started his solo career about six months ago,” Beierle said. “They tried to keep Johnny Dee and the Rocket 88’s together, but when you lose your lead singer, it’s tough.” That singer was Keith Landers,

who died in October 2011 after a treatment at an Austin dialysis center. Raby and True Grit perform at The Cotton Club in Granger quite a bit, Beierle said. “He packs the place up,” he said. “We’re looking forward to them play-ing here.” A concession stand will be on site, and concert-goers can bring their own coolers, blankets and lawn chairs. The last two shows of the Summer Concert Series will charge admis-sion. Performances are Deryl Dodd on Aug. 31 for $12 and Jake Hooker and the Outsiders on Sept. 7 for $10. [email protected]


MARBLE FALLS — There really hasn’t been a time in Joelton Mayfield’s young life when he hasn’t either been performing or playing an instrument. The Faith Academy junior still recalls the moment his musical journey started about 13 years ago. Mayfield, the son of Karen and Buddy Mayfield, was 3 years old and standing at the front of the First Assembly of God Marble Falls con-gregation during a special presenta-tion for the youth organization the Royal Rangers. As the presentation ended and the rest of the Rangers dispersed to go back to their seats, Mayfield stood stock still. His father, Buddy, a bassist with the church praise band, headed for his place with the rest of the musicians. The young Mayfield looked back to where his father was going and couldn’t bring himself to go back to his seat in the congregation. As the band start playing, the praise-band leader, sensing the youth’s dilemma, handed him a pair of drumsticks and motioned for him to go for it. “I’ve been up there ever since,” the high school junior said with a shy grin. And he hopes to follow his musical passion throughout his life wherever it, and God, might lead him. Now, the teen plays guitar and har-monica, but he isn’t hesitant to try his hand at just about anything that emits music. As a youth, he took piano les-sons, but, five years and four teachers later, Mayfield decided he just wasn’t clicking with the instrument. Nonetheless, the piano experi-ence helped lay the foundation for his musical growth. “The piano gave me a really good base to work from,” he said. At 10, Mayfield picked up the guitar and knew he found his true musical outlet. With a combination of lessons (he currently studies with David Horner), self-teaching and picking things up from other musicians, Mayfield has begun laying down his own musical path. The guitar allows him to quick-ly pick up other instruments, such as bass and even six-string banjo. He recently added the harmonica to his repertoire. The youth comes from a family with a musical background. His father plays bass, but his grandmother was known to play just about any instru-ment she tried, including piano, harp, steel guitar and several others. Most of the instruments, he said, she played

without taking a lesson. Mayfield continues to play with the church praise band and joined the Faith Academy praise band last year. He’s always on the lookout for a chance to perform in public and, on July 20, took the stage at Houston’s Depot at Old Oak Square in Marble Falls. While he has an affinity for praise music, Mayfield said the blues is his favorite right now. “There’s a difference between lis-tening to music and feeling it. With the blues, you can feel it,” he said. “It feels like the instruments are crying.” The music gives Mayfield a way to express himself. “Some people have a diary, and they pour everything into that. Some people keep everything bottled inside until they explode,” he said. “I find my release in music, not just writing but playing.” While he’s penned some of his own songs, Mayfield admitted a cer-tain reluctance to performing those in public. “I’m still a little insecure about performing my own songs in public,” he said. “I will sing them with friends and have performed some (when I) was at Houston’s Depot, but I’m still a little nervous about it.” Time and age might change that, but, for now, he’s just happy to be playing, whether it’s for a group of folks or just a few friends. His hope is to continue to pursue music throughout his life. While the challenges in the music industry are great, Mayfield said he isn’t worried about it.

His mom, Karen, said it’s all in God’s hands anyways. “If it’s (Joelton’s) heart’s desire, God will make a way,” she said. Joelton nodded. “I want to go to college to pursue music,” he said. “When you pursue something you’re passionate about, even if you fall short (of your dream), you’re still doing something you love.” [email protected]

KINGSLAND — Smoking for Jesus Ministry invites the community to come on over for its Super Fun Day. The fundraiser is Aug. 2 at the church site, 1804 FM 2342 in Burnet.

A garage sale starts the day at 7 a.m. Those wanting to sell items can buy a table space for $25 and will be able to keep any money made through the garage sale, said Demaries Glaspie, supervisor of the Smoking for Jesus Ministry School Learning Center in Kingsland.

The Super Fun Day is noon-6 p.m. and includes games for 25 cents each, a food court, puppets, a splash area, movies and prizes. Meal cards are $5. In addition, a Christian talent show is 3 p.m. There’s a $5 entry fee. The event benefits the general school fund. “We’re very excited to see how it turns outs,” Glaspie said. “We’re hoping kids and the community will come out and have fun.” “They can come out and enjoy themselves in a safe environment,” said Julie Tumblin, the minister of education who works with the school. “We want to be able to pro-vide something parents can come out and enjoy themselves.” Money raised will go to a variety of needs for the school, Glaspie said, including books and computer labs and to help offset tuition costs. “Everything that it takes to run a school,” she said. The school includes a nursery for children 6 months to eighth grade. It’s been recognized as a quality data school by meeting the standards of Accelerated Christian Education, Tumblin said. Smoking for Jesus began the school in 2004 when the ministry was located in New Orleans. But Hurricane Katrina forced members to leave Louisiana and relocate in Kingsland. Members started the school back up in 2007. Tumblin said the school has a waiting list and the building is older. “We’re in the process of trying to build a new building,” she said. “We’ve had a lot of requests from parents to put their children in Christian education. We’re filled to capacity.” The school’s priority mirrors the ministry’s, Glaspie said. “We want to continue to instill in kids the principles we so strongly believe in and live by,” she said. Preregister for the talent show by calling Tumblin at (504) 251-4744 or Glaspie at (830) 220-0141. Businesses wanting to partici-pate in the Super Fun Day can call Rachael Frazier at (830) 265-7042.

LLANO — Paint covered Lilly Cooper’s smock as much as it did her canvas. Dots, letters and flowers decorat-ed the 6-year-old’s oversized T-shirt after a day of painting at the Llano Fine Arts Guild’s art camp July 24. Each Wednesday in July, 24 students have learned new art tech-niques at the gallery. Cooper’s can-vas reflected the day’s lesson on painting flowers. “I painted one flower with a toma-to, and I wrote ‘I Love Tomatoes,’ but I actually don’t,” Cooper said. Then why the statement? “Because I just wanted to,” she said. Fair enough. Cooper wasn’t the only young artist expressing herself through brushes and oil paints. Lyndsey Kuehne, 10, has painted so many dragons she has a book of her works. Today’s painting is of a Loch Ness-looking creature. “I chose a dragon because I like dragons, and I’ve done many of that kind,” Kuehne said. Kuehne said painting was her favorite part of the month-long camp.

“But the clay was pretty cool, too,” she said. Of course, she made a dragon with the clay. Teaching the painting class, Jean Bass walks table to table, student to student, evaluating and encouraging the young painters. “It’s a tall order to try to meet all their needs,” said Bass, a longtime teacher who moved to Llano in May. With no shortage of fellow guild members, the class had an impres-sive display of paintings and a large canvas of flowers by the end of the day. “You want to know the truth? I liked having all the help,” Bass said laughing. “I’m not used to that. I’m used to doing it all by myself.” The camp is put on by members of the Llano Fine Arts Guild and provides a forum for young artists to develop their skills and learn new ones. “I’ve learned how to weave,” Kuehne said. “I never did that.” Visit www.llanofineartsguild.com or call (325) 247-4839 to learn more about the Llano Fine Arts Guild and Gallery. [email protected]

First responder realizes saving lives includes hersBY DANIEL CLIFTON

Picayune Editor

BURNET — Lacy Huffstuttler smiled at the thought of buying new clothes. She wasn’t just thinking about the latest fashions but a wardrobe in a new size. “None of my clothes fit,” she said. “So I guess I have to go shopping.” And it’s a good “not fitting.” As many people add years, they also add pounds. Huffstuttler was no different for several years, but in January, after years of ineffective off-and-on dieting, the Burnet firefighter/paramedic started going against the grain. She began losing weight. A signifi-cant amount. “I’ve lost about 56 pounds since January,” she said earlier this summer. But she estimated in another week or two, she would cross the 60-pound mark. “It’s changed my life,” Huffstuttler said. The change didn’t come easy. Huffstuttler, 27, struggled with weight issues for most of her life. Having a baby only added to the challenge. She admitted trying diets and other atempts at weight loss, but most ended in failure or she would drop some weight only to gain it back. Huffstuttler didn’t want to give up. As the mother of a toddler, she wanted to be able to keep up with her child. Then, there was her career as a fire-fighter/paramedic. She realized how much depended on her physical fitness and health. “I figured if I was going to help save other people’s lives, I had to save mine first,” Huffstuttler said. In January, she heard about a weight-loss competition sponsored by Mad Dawg Fitness in Burnet. She decided to give it a try. The contestants were broken up into three teams. The team members reg-ularly attended workouts led by Mad Dawg trainers. The teams weighed in once a week. Now, Huffstuttler wasn’t just trying to lose weight for herself, her team was

The U.S. Senate will soon vote on legislation (Senate Bill 959) that would unduly restrict access to cus-tom compounded medications, which are often the best treatment option, particularly when the patient has not responded to commercially available medications. Compounded medications solve numerous problems for patients who have special needs such as children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, peo-ple suffering from cancer or chronic pain, men and women suffering from hormone imbalances or infertility, and those who are sensitive to addi-tives such as dyes, gluten, alcohol and sugar in manufactured medications. The bill is in reaction to the trag-edy involving the New England Compounding Center that illegally produced contaminated injectable medication and shipped it across the country, resulting in patient deaths from fungal meningitis. Safety is of the utmost importance, and we support actions to improve it and protect our patients. However, SB 959 has unintended consequenc-es that will deny patient access to important medications prepared by reputable professional compound-ing pharmacies. You might not be

depending on her as well. “And if you gained weight, you had to put money into the pot,” she said, which added to the motivation. Mad Dawg Fitness trainer Sonny Wilson crafted a diet for Huffstuttler that had her eating 1,500 calories a day. While it sounds restrictive, Huffstuttler said, in many ways, it was freeing because it took the guesswork out of her diet. However, the workouts weren’t easy. The trainers dreamed up ways of challenging the contestants, wheth-er it was a long run interspersed with burpees, mountain climbers and jump-ing jacks or flipping large tractor tires. “My first month, I dreaded coming each day,” Huffstuttler said. When the competition wrapped up, Huffstuttler had dropped 50 pounds and won first prize. “I really began feeling I could keep up with my toddler and do my job bet-ter,” she said. Her journey didn’t end there.

Enjoying the most success she had ever experienced in losing weight and improving her fitness, Huffstuttler decided to keep working out at Mad Dawg Fitness. Though the weight-loss competition is over, the trainers haven’t let up on her. Huffstuttler attends regular boot camp-style workouts at the gym. If she misses a day, she gets a text. If she misses a couple of days, she gets a phone call. While she’s lost about 60 pounds, Huffstuttler still has her eyes set on the 100-pound goal. As somebody who has struggled with her weight for many years and never been able to drop pounds and keep them off until recent-ly, Huffstuttler urged others in similar situations not to give up. “Don’t let your brain tell you some-thing your heart will allow you to do,” she said. Plus, you’ll have a perfectly good reason to go clothes shopping. [email protected]

Burnet Fire Department member Lacy Huffstuttler (right) and Mad Dawg Fitness trainer Sonny Wilson enjoy a ‘tire change.’ Huffstuttler has dropped about 60 pounds since January when she started a weight-loss competition at the Burnet gym. But the firefighter/paramedic has kept working out and eating right in hopes of losing a total of 100 pounds. STAFF PHOTO BY DANIEL CLIFTON

FINANCIAL FOCUS: How Can Younger Investors Cope with Tough Times?

If you’re in your twenties or thirties, you know these aren’t the easiest of times, financially speaking. The bursting of the housing bubble, student loan debt, wage stagnation — all these factors make it tough for young people to save and invest for the future. Nonetheless, you can take some steps to help yourself make progress

toward long-term goals, such as a comfortable retirement.For starters, pay yourself first. Have money automatically moved from a bank account to an investment vehicle, such as an IRA. Even if it’s only a small amount at first, it can eventually add up.Next, every time your salary goes up, try to increase the amount you put into your 401(k) or other employer - sponsored retirement

plan.Also, don’t be “over-cautious” with your investments. To achieve your long-term goals, such as a comfortable retirement, you will unquestionably need some growth elements in your portfolio.With diligence, perseverance and a measure of sacrifice, you can gain some control over your financial fortunes — so look for your opportunities.

FROM STAFF REPORTS

KINGSLAND — A new execu-tive director has joined the Highland Lakes Pregnancy Center. The center named Dolores Bacon to the position. “One of the greatest blessings I could ever have is to wake up in the morning excited about going to work and seeing what miracle the Lord will show me today,” Bacon said about her role as executive director. The center provides assistance to expectant mothers as well as numer-ous other services. It also offers free pregnancy testing, free — but lim-ited — non-medical ultrasounds, community referrals, assistance with WIC and Medicaid applications, Bible studies and post-abortion sup-port groups, as well as maternity and baby items. The staff also provides private sessions for residents who would like to discuss issues relat-ed to parenting, pregnancy, sexual health and other topics. The center provides services at no charge to men, women, couples and singles.

CONGRATULATIONS

Page-Reeves engagementMr. and Mrs. James Reeves of Llano are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter, Jennifer Reeves, to Cody Page, the son of Debbie and Dale Page of Bangs. Reeves and Page are graduates of Tarleton State University in Stephenville. An October 2013 wedding is planned with the ceremony being held in Cherry Springs at Christ Lutheran Church.

According to its website, “The Highland Lakes Pregnancy Resource Center exists to honor the sanctity of life by sharing the unconditional love of Jesus Christ in guiding per-sonal choices involving sexuality, relationships and pregnancy.” Bacon, who moved to the Highland Lakes in 2012 after living in Ypsilanti, Mich., brings a wealth of experience both in the nonprofit sector and pregnancy centers. She is a past executive director of the Compassion Pregnancy Center in Clinton Township, Mich., as well as the assistant development director at POBLO International Ministries in Dearborn, Mich. Six people started the center in 2010 (when it was incorporat-ed as a nonprofit) to help those in the community “struggling with pregnancy-related issues.” The center is affiliated with Heartbeat International. Go to www.hlpregnancycenter.org for more information on its ser-vices or call (325) 388-0354. [email protected]
