MARBLE FALLS — While often considered a tool for grooming the yard, a group of hardy souls are set to push their lawn mowers at high

speeds around an oval track at Sweet Berry Farm. Some of these modified beasts hit top speeds of 70 mph. The second annual Mike Cupps Memorial Lawn Mower Race is

PEEK-A-BLUEAND RED AND YELLOW ...Spring is here, and bluebonnets and

other wildflowers are popping up in patches all across the Highland Lakes

BY SUZANNE FREEMANPicayune Staff

Wildflower season began earlier than usual this year, just as predicted by expert Damion Waitt of the University of Texas’ Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. “(The wildflowers) won’t be as abundant as last year, though,” Waitt said, blaming the dry winter weather. “You need sustain-ing rains throughout the winter to cause the flowers to really bolt.” Bolting refers to when the green rosettes growing close to the ground change from a vegetative state to sending up flowering stalks, the botanist explained.

Old U.S. 281 bridge is no more; blast knocks out communication services

BY JARED FIELDSPicayune Staff

MARBLE FALLS — Cell phone and Internet service and radio/TV con-nections went out as the old U.S. 281 bridge went down early March 17. Shrapnel from the bridge cut the Verizon fiber-optic cable and nicked the sewer line. Crews worked into the evening repairing the holes in the sewer line and restoring phone and Internet service. Thousands watching f rom Lakeside Park in Marble Falls

cheered, not knowing they soon would be unable to Facebook, tweet or call their friends to spread the news the 77-year-old bridge was no more. KBEY 103.9 FM Radio Picayune, which was broadcasting live from the scene, lost connection on location, instantly reverting to recorded music. TV stations covering the event live went black. City and phone service officials confirmed a phone line was cut, lim-iting cell-phone and Internet services.

Smoke and frag-ments fly from the explosive charges detonated March 17 during the implosion of the old U.S. 281 bridge in Marble Falls. Shrapnel from the blast cut a phone line that disrupted phone, radio and Internet services for much of the day. Sections of the steel frame fell into the water below and will be removed from the lake. PHOTO COURTESY OF AL WILLIAMS

T h e B l u e b o n n e t C a p i t a l of the World, which is r ight h e r e i n B u r n e t , b e c o m e s the center of spring festivities as the Highland Lakes area bursts forth in bloom from about mid-March to the end of April. Wildflower season in Central Texas rivals the fall colors of New England in awe-inspiring beauty and ability to draw tourists. While this year’s crop might not match the brilliance and abundance of the 2012 season, it still will be well worth watching, Waitt promised. “They’ll probably be a little smaller this year because of the lack of rain, but they will still be beautiful.” Texas boasts five varieties of bluebonnet. All are considered the official state flower. The most well-known variety is the lupinus texensis, endemic to Central Texas. “Lots of plants have limited dis-tribution, and this is one of those,” Waitt said. The Texas Depar tment of Transportation works to spread the beloved bluebonnet beyond the bor-ders of Central Texas by regularly seeding highways across the state. More than 5,000 species of wildflow-ers are sown over 800,000 acres of right-of-way that TxDOT then nur-tures with carefully planned mowing. Former first lady Claudia Johnson — known lovingly as Lady Bird — championed the cause of highway beautification in Texas and across the nation. Thanks to her efforts, the Highway Beautification Act became law in 1965. The act established rules and regulations for outdoor advertis-

ing and junkyards, landmark preser-vation including parks and wilderness areas and safe waste disposal among other things. Although the issue of seeding flowers has been a priority since the act became law, TxDOT has been maintaining wildflowers along the roadways since 1932. Texas is the first state to establish a wildflower seeding policy and buys about 30,000 pounds of wildflower seed every year. Despite popular belief, it is not illegal to pick bluebonnets or any wildflower, Waitt said, it’s just not a good idea. Many don’t retain their water after being plucked from the mother plant and quickly wilt. It’s best to leave them in the ground and preserve the image with a photo. The Wildflower Center nurtures several picture-perfect patches for photographers, so there’s no need to pull onto the side of the road, which can be hazardous. Many flowers are damaged each year by photo seekers tramping down the blooms. Waitt has some advice on how to prevent harming the blooms too much. “Step in someone else’s footprint if you’re not the first one there,” he said. “Take your photo in an area already sat in by others. Don’t forge your own path. It’s best for the wildflowers.” Carefully preserving this year’s crop could mean an even better crop next year, he said. And that’s big busi-ness here in the Highland Lakes. [email protected]

STONEWALL — Bicyclists of all ages and skills are converging on the historic Lyndon B. Johnson Ranch for the sixth annual LBJ 100 Bicycle Tour on March 23-24. The tour features routes from 10 miles to 85 miles in length beginning at the ranch’s airstrip and winding along county roads across the Hill Country. Old bicycles also will be taking part in this year’s tour. The Wheelmen, a group of riders who promote pre-1918 bicycles, will be on hand atop 52-inch front tires. Not only can participants see beautiful scenery along the different routes, but the afternoon also will fea-ture a history lesson about the ranch from Johnson’s daughter, Luci Baines Johnson. Nolan Kuehn, chairman of the LBJ 100, said the event has made a “mete-oric” rise since its first tour in 2008. The first year saw 423 riders, and last year’s event had almost 1,400. Kuehn said the event has raised $120,000 for the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park, located 15 miles past Johnson City off U.S. 290. “The emphasis is to get the families out to the park. It’s a national treasure right in our own backyard,” Kuehn said. For the first year, competitive riders can compete March 24 in an individual time trial. The 17-mile route follows the banks of the Pedernales River and is open to riders as young as 10. Riders can register online at www.lbj100bicycletour.org before the event or beginning at 7 a.m. at the ranch the day of the tour. [email protected]

Officials re-routed 9-1-1 emergency calls to Burnet dispatchers after the outage. No emergency calls came in during that time, said Marble Falls Fire Rescue Chief Johnny Caraway. “We realized immediately that we don’t have phones, so we don’t have 9-1-1,” Caraway said. “It automatically gets rerouted to Burnet County, so we don’t lose calls during that time.” Wastewater runs through double lines, so no spillage hap-pened, Caraway assured. Sewage was rerouted until the pipes were repaired about 8 p.m. March 17, according to City Manager Ralph Hendricks. A temporary phone line restored phone and Internet services about 7 p.m. March 17, and a permanent line was placed the morning of March 18, Hendricks said. Crews closed traffic to the bridge at 7:50 a.m. March 17 in prepara-tion of the explosive detonation. The implosion occurred eight minutes past the scheduled 8 a.m. detonation. After the blast, officers halt-ed traffic for another hour as one charge did not detonate, accord-ing to Texas Department of Transportation officials. The charge was safely removed from the struc-ture, and traffic resumed on just two lanes at 9:08 a.m. TxDOT officials used special-ized trucks to examine aesthetic damage to the west side and under-carriage of the new bridge. Some explosive charges did not detonate during the blast. “That was part of the reason

for closures being longer than we wanted,” TxDOT engineer Howard Lyons said. “The explosive expert did retrieve those, and it did go into the water safely. Everybody in the surrounding areas were safe; there were no injuries and no problems we know of with the adjoining structures.” One large portion of the truss remained resting against the north concrete pier after the blast. Hendricks said the structure posed no threats to the new bridge or peo-ple near the bridge. “They have it secured to the pil-lar that is there, and it is scheduled to be removed,” he said. “There are no hazards, so they are in no hurry. They are making all the piec-es smaller and cutting it as they remove it from the lake.” By the evening of March 17, a channel was cleared for boat traffic to pass under the bridge. Officials from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department reported moving about 300 fish from 17 different species from under the bridge before the implosion. Crews in boats shocked the water near the bridge to stun the fish. When the stunned fish floated to the surface, TPWD crews used nets to scoop the fish out of the lake and into tanks in the boats. The fish were then taken about a mile downstream. [email protected]

SCOTT KENNEDY H i s l e g a c y w a s l a u g h -ter. Comedian Scott Kennedy went to be with his Lord on Thursday, March 14, 2013. He left behind myriads of people who loved him and loved his comedy. Born on July 7, 1965, Scott was the son of Barbara and Jack Kennedy, who raised him in Hobbs and Albuquerque, N.M. He attend-ed New Mexico Military Institute and then graduated from Lubbock Monterey High. Scott attended The College of Santa Fe before selling cars for his dad. Even as a child he was funny. He took the mic at an Open Mic Night at Froggy Bottoms Comedy Club in Lubbock, and his love of stand-up was cemented forever. Doing stand-up at the Improv in L.A., at Froggy Bottoms in Lubbock, and at clubs in Houston, his career took off and he soon was performing all over the U.S. Hired by the USO, Scott began traveling to military bases over-seas. He knew at once that enter-taining the troops (he called them the Heroes) was his passion. Scott made many trips to Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan through the years with Armed Forces Entertainment, taking his dad, Jack, with him on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Iraq in 2008. Scott would say at the end of each set: “Everyone in America sends their thanks to you, but only one came tonight to personally thank you — my 75 year-old father, Jack Kennedy.” Jack would then stand up and thank them. Through the years, Scott made many friends, both in the military and in the entertainment world. Hundreds of these friends have posted their con-dolences and memories on Facebook this week. Scott was preceded in death by his mother, Barbara Kennedy and by his life partner, Kevin Maye. Jack and Carolyn Kennedy of Marble Falls; Scott’s sister, Debbie Hilburn of LakeWay; his nephew Wes, wife Rebecca, their two sons Caden and Maxx of Austin; his nephew Matt, wife Heather, their two daughters Ellie and Lila of Borger, join other family members and friends in mourning the loss of Scott. A memorial service will be held Saturday, March 30, at the First United Methodist Church in Marble Falls at 1 p.m., and everyone is welcome. A tribute to Scott will be held later in L.A. at the Improv Comedy Club.

BY DANIEL CLIFTONPicayune Editor

MARBLE FALLS — Since 1977, the humble Old Train Depot visitors center on U.S. 281 served as the place guests and newcomers to the Marble Falls area could learn about local sites and activities or just sit and chat. “This is a pretty unique building,” said Jean Eades, Marble Falls/Lake LBJ Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center coordinator, about the old building. “It is bittersweet moving to the new center.” Eades and her crew of volunteers have packed up materials and are ready for the move to the new 4,400-square-foot Visitors Center located at Second Street and U.S. 281. The chamber and city of Marble Falls are holding a public grand opening and open house 2-5 p.m. March 24. The new structure is probably the most significant piece of architecture added to the Marble Falls skyline. “Can you imagine the impression the new Visitors Center, along with the new bridge when it’s completed, will have on somebody as they crest the hill coming from the south?” chamber Executive Director Bill Rives asked. The budget for the new building was

$1.4 million. The funds came from the Hotel Occupancy Tax that Marble Falls hotels, motels and bed-and-breakfast inns pass on to guests. Those monies are used for promoting tourism. Marble Falls Mayor George Russell said the new structure will serve as a bea-con for the community. “The current facility just doesn’t meet the community’s needs. Most people get by it before they realize it’s there,” he said. “The new one definitely stands out. It forms the gateway to the community,” he said. The grand opening and ribbon cut-ting will give community members a chance to explore the new facility. There will be some light refreshments. Several local dignitaries will be on hand includ-ing U.S. Rep. Roger Williams. Rives said the new Visitors Center symbolizes the great things happening in Marble Falls and the surrounding area. “When people roll into town and see the Visitors Center, they’re going to say, ‘There’s something going on here,’ and, hopefully, it will entice them to slow down, pull over and stop,” he said. “I really do believe that of 10 people who stop, eight or nine are going to say this community is something they want to be a part of.”

11 a.m. March 23 at the local straw-berry patch, 1801 FM 1980 between Marble Falls and Granite Shoals. There will be several races during the day. Lawn-mower racer and organizer Dennis Drake said he expects at least 26 drivers and their mowers, noting some participants will compete in

multiple races. The annual event honors a man who loved the sport and perished far too early, according to Drake. The race recognizes the efforts of Mike Cupps, a man who advocated for the sport before losing his battle to colon cancer in 2009. “Mike Cupps was a member of our group,” Drake said. “He fought the

Antioxidants might relieve asthma symptoms

Consuming antioxidants might reduce asthma symptoms. Asthmatic adults who received a high-antioxidant diet (five servings of

vegetables and two s e r v i n g s o f f r u i t daily) for 14 weeks were free of asthma exacerba-tions for a longer

period of time compared to those on a low-antioxidant diet who were 2.26 times as likely to have a flare-up. The researchers concluded that compared to lycopene supplemen-tation, increasing antioxidant intake through fruits and vegetables showed a stronger effect on reducing asthma symptoms. Antioxidants are available as sup-plements and are proposed to play a role in preventing many common health disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease and some types of cancers.

battle but finally lost it.” Cupps served as vice president of the Lone Star Mower Racing Association for two terms. The Mike Cupps Memorial Lawn Mower Race is the first spring event for LSMRA. The association has five other races planned, with two in April, two in May and one in June. Cupps demonstrated his love of the sport by making two significant contributions to lawn-mower racing, Drake said. First, he created and owned Acme Mower Sports, a one-stop shop that carried just about anything needed for a lawn-mower racer, Drake said. “He got all those parts central-ized,” Drake said, “and you could order from him.” Cupps also designed and built

front axles that could go as fast as the driver wanted, Drake said. Prior to his design, an axle was rated for about 8 mph. “On city streets and straightaways, they run about 70 mph,” Drake said about Cupps’ axle design and impact on lawn mowers. “They’re used all over.” And how fast did Cupps’ axles allow drivers to go? “As fast as we dared,” Drake said with a grin. Drake has wanted to bring a lawn-mower race to the Highland Lakes for some time, but the toughest part was finding a venue. After visiting Sweet Berry Farm, Drake said he found the ideal location and formed a partnership with owners Dan and Gretchen Copeland.

Last year’s event raised more than $2,000 for the American Cancer Society, which was a good start, he said. But this year’s race was sched-uled the same day as the annual Bluebonnet Festival in Burnet, so organizers moved it to the fourth weekend of March, hoping to entice more spectators. Those spectators will have their own area that includes double fencing as a safety measure, Drake said. And a concession stand will be staffed by members of the local Relay for Life teams, which raise funds to fight cancer. “This is a special race for me and for the LSMRA,” Drake said. “Not everybody here knew Mike, but they knew of him.” [email protected]

Lakeside Beach community center named in couple’s honorLakeside Beach subdivision residents Harold (left) and Nell Myers enjoy a bit of the spotlight March 9 when the Spicewood-area community celebrated the couple’s longstanding support of the area. The Lakeside Beach residents surprised the Myers by naming the community center in their honor. The Myers have been active members of the community since 1985 when Nell first served on the Lakeside Beach board. Harold spent 20 years as the board’s president before stepping down last summer.

Tee off against crime at golf fundraiser on March 22


BURNET — Duffers can hit the greens and fairways March 22 in an effort to stomp out crime when the Susan B. Cranford Tournament re turns to Delaware Spr ings Municipal Golf Course. “This is the 17th year for the tournament, which benefits the Hill Country Area Crime Stoppers,” HCACS coordinator Janie Prew said. “We get a big turnout from our local law enforcement officers and agen-cies, but we also see lots of folks who just want to help out.” The event tees off 1 p.m. at the course, 600 Delaware Springs Blvd. The entry fee is $60. The local arm of the Texas Game Wardens Association is once again cooking up steaks for the participants.The tournament’s name comes from a longtime supporter of the organiza-tion and the woman who suggested the event, Prew said. The HCACS provides tips for area law enforcement agencies. People with information can call the Crime Stoppers line at 1-866-756-TIPS (8477) and provide anonymous tips about crimes. They also can go to www.hcacrimestoppers.com with their tips. The HCACS passes those tips to the proper agency. Burnet County Sheriff W.T. Smith said the organization plays a vital role in law enforcement and fighting crime. “We get a lot of tips from Crime Stoppers, a lot dealing with drug activity,” Smith said. “We look at all those tips that come in and verify them. But they provide us with a tre-mendous resource and information.” Smith said the beauty of the sys-tem is callers remain anonymous, even if they qualify for a cash reward through HCACS. “No one will know who you are. You won’t have to make any court appearances,” he said. “There’s no caller ID, and nobody traces the phone calls. It’s a big help for us and other law enforcement agencies.” Prew said because of Crime Stoppers tips, law enforcement agencies have made progress in several high-profile crimes, includ-ing the Kingsland bank robbery, the

Kingsland arsons and the 2002 Lake Buchanan boating fatality that even-tually ended with a man pleading guilty in 2012. To register for the tournament, call the golf course at (512) 756-8471. People also can donate money to HCACS by going to its website listed above. [email protected]

ADMISSION: Free

BY SHARON JENSONSpecial to The Picayune

It’s springtime in the Hill Country, and the bluebonnets are blooming. Blossoms, birds and butterflies fill the yard, and we’re all waiting for that last frost so we can plant our spring garden. It’s the perfect time to join the Highland Lakes Master Gardeners at the 15th annual Hill Country Lawn & Garden Show on March 23. The event is 9 a.m.-4 p.m. at the Burnet Community Center, 401 E. Jackson St. in Burnet. Admission is free. The Master Gardeners booth will have information about sustainable

gardening. Learn about rainwater har-vesting, making your own compost tea and the best gardening practices for this area. Members will be available to answer questions. The event will feature more than 20 vendors focusing on native and exotic plants, herbs, vegetables, succulents, houseplants, yard decor and more. A service booth will hold purchases for attendees while they shop and visit the exhibits. A children’s booth will have hands-on projects. Two guest speakers will inspire you to go home and plant fruit trees as well as drought-tolerant plants and grasses. Richard Ashton will speak on

“Growing Fruit in the South” at 10 a.m., and George Cates of Native American Seed in Junction will speak about “Creating Diverse, Drought Tolerant Native Outdoor Living Spaces” at 2 p.m. The lawn and garden show is sup-ported by the Highland Lakes chapter of the Texas Master Gardeners in part-nership with the Texas A&M AgriLIFE Extension Service. So, whether you are a veteran gar-dener, fairly new to Hill Country gar-dening or just starting, come to the lawn and garden show to learn from local presenters, volunteers and vendors.

Welcome, gardeners

BY SHERYL AND ROBERT YANTISSpecial to The Picayune

The weather the past few years has challenged Highland Lakes gardeners to change and adapt their practices to the drier and hotter conditions. To be successful gardeners, we need to be flexible and adapt to our surroundings

like native plants have been doing for hundreds of years. The Texas Hill Country is a unique gardening environment. Choosing the right plants is very important to ensure a successful garden. If you select native or adapted plants that are more suited to our climate and soil, you will have more time to enjoy your garden and become more connected to the land of Central

Texas. Native plants belong here. Some adapted plants and hybrid plants have native Texas parentage and are equally suited to this area. Spring seems to have started earli-er the past few years, and we need to start working in our gardens earlier. We might need to prune and prepare our garden a little earlier so we can be ready to plant when the soil temperature starts to rise. We still need to consider the pos-sibility of a last spring freeze and have a way to protect some of our tender new plants and vegetables. Choosing heirloom and heat-tolerant varieties of vegetables might extend the length of production of your vegetable garden. If we continue to have mild winters and early springs, early blooming varieties and low-chill hour fruit trees might be worth consideration for our home gar-dens. The less water, fertilizer and pes-ticides we use, the more we help to preserve wildlife and the water quality and conserve water. One of the most important things you can do for your garden is to add compost to the top layers of soil. The use of compost in addition to at least three inches of mulch will not only improve your soil and help keep your flowers, vegetables and trees healthy but will help conserve and utilize all the available water, especially during our hot, dry summers. We all hope our rainfall will increase, but we need to help our soil retain as much moisture as possible.

Five steps to ‘greener’

gardensBY BETH MORTENSON

Special to The Picayune

Going “green” in the garden is not difficult to do. Every action done in the garden for the environment has a powerful payoff in the function and beauty of the landscape. Tips include:

1 Recycle yard wastes. An obvi-ous benefit derived from recy-cling yard wastes is the reduc-

tion of bulk that makes its way into the landfill, but an often overlooked advantage to this practice is the enormous benefit to the garden. Leave grass clippings on the lawn so they can return nutrients to the soil. The clippings also will provide a light layer of mulch that will help moderate the soil’s temperature and moisture.

2 Compost. The leaves and branches that have been shred-ded and chipped make a terrif-

ic start to an outdoor compost bin. You create a nutrient-rich organic fertilizer by adding most kitchen wastes. Composting can be as sim-ple as throwing the waste material on a pile in the backyard or in a bin made of chicken wire or as fancy as using a store-bought one.

3 Capture and use rainwater. Rainwater collection is a simple process and offers

numerous benefits. Plants perform much better when managed with rainwater. Unlike city-processed water, rainwater is chemical free. Capture rainwater in barrels from downspouts or directly divert it into a garden.

4 Wisely use water in the garden. One way to reduce dependence on water in the

garden is to choose native plants and those successfully adapted to local weather conditions. A ter-rific source for these plants is the Texas SmartScape website at www.txsmartscape.com. Mulching helps lessen the effects of evaporation.

5 Reduce the use of chemicals in the yard. If some of the above suggestions are put into

practice, a reduction in the need for chemicals will naturally occur. Add to that an increase in the use of organics, and it might be surprising how little chemicals are needed at all. If fertilizers are deemed neces-sary, opt for the organic, slow-re-lease type. Using Texas native plants reduces the need for chem-ical pest and disease-management materials.

Free plant-check service planned

for shoppers

There will be free plant-check and carry services at the Hill Country Lawn & Garden Show on March 23. Organizers are providing the service to hold purchased plants while attendees continue shopping. And, volunteers will be on hand to help carry plants to cars.

BY ROBERT AND SHERYL YANTISSpecial to The Picayune

Butterflies are the jewels of the garden, and, with the right entice-ments, you can easily attract these colorful creatures. All you need are plants the caterpillars can feed upon and flowers from which the emerged butterflies can sip nectar. This will help butterflies flourish and provide you with many hours of enjoyment. Butterflies have long fascinated and delighted us with their varied and beautiful colors. Nothing is more enjoyable than watching butterflies flit from flower to flower. You can help conserve butterflies by the actions you take in your yard. Butterflies need color and fra-grant flowers, ponds, trees and even mud. Choose plants that bloom at different times of the year. Blend

nectar and host plants. Butterflies prefer purple and yellow flowers, followed by white and blue, then red. Group together nectar plants, and they will be more attractive to butterflies. When choosing among flowers, butterflies will usually select the most abundant blooms. Butterflies also like areas of mud. Located in a sunny location, mud with no standing water can attract butterflies. The mud pro-vides minerals and nutrients the butterflies require. They absorb the minerals through their feet. You also should avoid using pesticides. These chemicals will kill butterflies. If you avoid killing the butterfly during the egg, larva and pupa stages and grow host plants for caterpillars, more adult butter-flies will frequent your garden. By providing safe habitats for all stages

BURNET — Producing the annu-al “The Nutcracker” ballet comes at a price considering the hours, even days, the performers sacrifice to get it right. But it’s worth it when the audi-ence responds, not only following a performance in December, but sev-eral months later in The Picayune’s “Locals Love Us” honors. “It’s kind of huge when you think this came from the readers,” said Studio 29 Dance Centre owner and instructor Jenn Moore. “A whole lot of work goes into that production.” Studio 29 Dance Centre, 1002 N. Water St., celebrated its seventh year of producing “The Nutcracker” on Dec. 8-9, 2012. But work on the production begins months ahead of the two performances. Moore said students begin auditioning and rehearsing in September. A key to success also is the students dedication, she told The Picayune last December. Even during the summer, before auditions, many of her students showed up at the studio to practice and take lessons — often with their eyes on landing bigger roles in “The Nutcracker.” “Our kids, and their families, put so much into this,” Moore said after learning of the award. “They give up their evenings, their Saturdays, other events, even birthday parties, which for kids is a big deal, to rehearse for ‘The Nutcracker.’” The studio offers numerous class-es and programs throughout the year. But the production of this traditional Christmas ballet is one of its biggest events. Getting the community’s appre-ciation makes it even more special “For the readers to come out, to enjoy it and to go so far as write our name on the ballot and mail it in, well, that means absolutely everything,” Moore said.
