BURNET — Kristi Yarter, owner of Kristi’s Kountry Kuts, hopes with a bit more time in the gym and a few more tweaks to her diet she’ll earn her professional card in the world of bodybuilding and fitness. “My plan is to get my pro card in August at the North American Championships in Pittsburgh,” she said while taking a break between appointments at her salon. “I just need to win it.” Yarter, 41, took a big step toward realizing her dream earlier this month when she placed sixth out of 60 com-petitors in the women’s body fit-ness (figure) division of the Arnold (Schwarzenegger) Amateur IFBB International Bodybuilding and Fitness Championships in Columbus, Ohio. “It’s an extremely important show,” Yarter said. “There were competitors from all over the world. I would try talking to one of the other women and she’d say something, but it was in a completely different language.” The Burnet business owner isn’t a female bodybuilder but competes

Several Highland Lakes churches holding Easter programs

BY CONNIE SWINNEYPicayune Staff

CYPRESS MILL — A local church is offering prayer, med-itation and a simple “Way” to remember the origins of Easter as well as reinforce the Christian faith. St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 263 Spur 962 in Cypress Mill, is hosting Holy Week and inviting members and visitors to partic-ipate in a self-guided tour, The Way of the Cross, which features 14 stations on the church grounds. “It comes from the old tra-ditions, which started with the pilgrims who went to Jerusalem to follow The Way of the Cross, Jesus’ passion, which began with his trial and the various events that happened along the way to Calvary where he was cruci-fied,” the Rev. Tommy Bye said. “The Stations of the Cross are done in various ways in various places.


MARBLE FALLS — One of the hardest parts of creating a special Easter program is orches-trating one that tells the entire story of Jesus’ path to the cross — from his painful death to his resurrection — in a manner that helps people understand what he endured for them, yet leaves them fulfilled. “It’s a very complex and inter-

esting story,” said Joni Bedard, music director of First United Methodist Church of Marble Falls. “But it’s one we need to tell. One worth telling.” FUMC of Marble Falls is pre-senting the Easter story March 30 at 7 p.m. in the production “There Stands A Cross.” The church is located at 1101 Bluebonnet Drive. Admission is free. The production brings together

SCHOOL COACH(Marble Falls area)

The Picayune readers voted Marble Falls High School head football coach and athletic director Todd Dodge as the 2013 “Locals Love Us” Best School Coach for the Marble Falls area. ‘I was very honored,’ he said with a smile about the award. ‘I was pleased to receive the honor. There are a lot of outstanding coaches in The Picayune’s area.’ Dodge has been on the job since Feb. 1, 2012. Since then, he has brought in Performance Course, a summer weight-and-conditioning program; updated the weight room with new equipment and a heating-and-cooling system; and installed his famed “Air Raid” offense. In addition, the Todd Dodge Quarterback and Receiver Camp will spend its second summer at Mustang Stadium on June 17-20. The camp draws players from across the state to work with Dodge and his staff. At least three of his former pupils are quarterbacks in the NFL. FILE PHOTO

“It’s somewhat of a meditation. It is the reminder of what brought Easter about,” Bye added. “What we’ve come to in this particular season is making present again the things that God delivered to us through his son Jesus Christ.” Events described at each one of the stations, along a 1,000-foot path-way, include Jesus falling several times; his cross being given over to Simon of Cyrene; Jesus meeting the women of Jerusalum; his crucifixion and death; and Jesus’ body being placed in a tomb. The pathway takes participants to individual stations, where a soli-tary cross is displayed with a labeled marker to identify an excerpt of Jesus’ experience. During Lent, Bye conducts a Liturgy for church members; howev-er, the congregation and visitors may tour the permanent stations through-

out the year. Participants use information from a booklet with narrative and prayers to guide them from station to station. “(The stations) have a certain amount of mystery attached to them. At first, you find that you might be a little detached, but as you progress and go along, you get in a little deep-er,” Bye said. “It’s an extended kind of prayer, which draws you nearer to God as you go along The Way of Cross.” Congregation member Don Gray said the tour not only reaffirms his faith but enhances reflection on the story of Easter. “There’s nothing other than God’s beauty of the Hill Country. There are very few vehicles (driving by.) The church is sitting up here on this hill,” Gray said. “It’s a quiet place to come out and do great contemplative prayer.” [email protected]

songs, an orchestra, narration, danc-ers and a procession to unwrap Jesus’ journey to the cross, the tomb and his eventual resurrection. Bedard wanted a program that showed Jesus’ sacrifice and pain wasn’t just for those who attend church. She envisioned something that touched people who might have never stepped into a traditional wor-ship service or even a church. And one of the best ways to do that is with music. “Music touches us in a way noth-ing else can,” Bedard said. “We’re bringing in an orchestra from Austin along with some local musicians, dancers from Harmony (School of Creative Arts), our choir and the group Testify. They are a group of sixth-grade girls who sing together, and they are incredible.” The program incorporates tradi-tional Gospel music to upbeat tunes. Bedard knew she needed to select

music that reflected the entire Easter story, not just Jesus’ crucifixion or his resurrection. She wanted the music to carry people through the story, reflecting the tragedy and joy of Jesus’ path. “There will be a few dark piec-es,” Bedard said. “But there has to be when you think about what he did. What he did for us.” And that’s the message Bedard wants everybody who attends the performance to hear. “He didn’t die on the cross for just a few, he did it for everybody, even for those who don’t believe,” she said. “He did it for all of us.” Bedard hopes people of all faiths and beliefs will feel the power in Jesus’ story. “We want everybody to attend,” she said. “Everybody’s welcome, and bring a neighbor.” [email protected]


KINGSLAND — Twenty-five years ago, artists and craft folks held a weekend show as part of a “trail” through the Highland Lakes. More than two decades and 49 shows have passed along with many changes, including the “trail” slipping away, but one thing has remained constant: The Kingsland House of Arts and Crafts Spring Show. “In years past, it’s been much bigger with more than 80 vendors and lots of other things,” said Patti Williams, arti-san and show organizer. “We feel it’s an important tradition to continue and work on returning to what it once was.” The 2013 spring show is April 6-7 at the Kingsland House of Arts and Crafts, 112 Chamberlain St. at the intersection of RR 1431. The venue includes the building itself, but also a large covered area on the property. The show is 10 a.m.-5 p.m. April 6 and 11 a.m.-4 p.m. April 7. Kingsland is offering a double whammy of sorts as the third annu-al Wildflower Festival is April 6 at the Kingsland Community Park, 710 William St. The event is 9 a.m.-5 p.m. “The festival is a way to raise funds to support the park,” said Carol Smith of the Kingsland/Lake LBJ Chamber of Commerce. For many years, the local Lions Club maintained the park, but now the chamber has assumed responsibility for the property. Smith said the festival not only helps raise money but also aware-ness of the facility. “There are still a lot people in the area who don’t know the park is even there or that we need help caring for it,” Smith said. The Wildflower Festival features junior and senior pageants. The junior one is for children infant to 5 years old, while the senior is for contestants 75 years and older. Lake Area Rods and Classics will hold a car show at the park during the festival. Back over at the Kingsland House of Arts and Crafts Show, people can look for just the right home decor, craft or art piece. The show also includes a dash of music with Llano singer/song-writer Woody Eastman performing throughout the day. And several music students also will entertain the crowds. “Between the Wildflower Festival and the arts-and-crafts show, it’s a great way to come out and support Kingsland and the community,” Smith said.

in a class that exemplifies wom-en’s figures and fitness. Her path to Columbus probably started about a year ago when Yarter pushed her physical training up several notches. “I’ve been going to the gym all my life,” she said. “I have always been in good shape. But getting ready for this, well, it’s been an entirely higher level.” Last year, she dove into the world of competitive figure and fit-ness training under the International Federation of Bodybuilding. Three days a week, she drives to Austin’s Metroflex Gym to work out with her trainer, David Schachterle, a bodybuilder himself. Despite her years in the gym, the transition from working out to train-ing for competition included major shifts in Yarter’s lifestyle. Schachterle designed a diet for Yarter based on precise food mea-surements. Six times a day, Yarter dines on a meal of six ounces of pro-tein, a quarter cup of carbohydrates and a quarter cup of vegetables. A month out from the Arnold Amateur, Schachterle yanked Yarter’s carbohy-drate ration. “The diet is definitely the tough-est part,” Yarter said. “I haven’t had sugar in a year.” Though her husband, Clancy Yarter, and two daughters, Darra and Danylle Morris, support her endeav-or, the family hasn’t gone as far as giving up their ice cream and normal foods. As for Yarter’s workout, it starts every morning at 5:30 a.m. with 30 minutes of cardio at Kingsland Health and Fitness. Then at midday, she hits a local gym or Metroflex for two hours of weights followed by another 30 minutes of cardio in the afternoon. Getting out of bed and going to the gym before most people and

even the sun are up doesn’t come without struggles. There are times when Yarter would rather roll over and go back to sleep or at least skip the morning workout. But she doesn’t. “There’s just something inside of me that gets me up and going,” Yarter said. “It’s just that competitiveness, I guess.” Once a week, Yarter hits the stairs at Mustang Stadium in Marble Falls. Up and down she runs for 40 minutes. Getting to the Arnold competi-tion wasn’t a matter of registering online, paying a fee and showing up. She earned an invitation with top five finishes in the 2012 Branch Warren Classic (fifth place) and the 2012 Adela Garcia Classic (fourth place). At 41, Yarter often shares the stage and preparation areas with women much younger than herself. When she mentions her daughter, one of whom is as old as some of the com-petitors, it draws questions from the other women. “They’ll say, ‘You have a daugh-ter?’ And I’ll tell them I have two,” Yarter said with a grin. Wi th the Nor th Amer ican Championships six months away, Yarter isn’t taking any time to relax or revel in her Arnold Amateur success (yes, she did see Arnold). Instead, she pushes herself hard with an eye on earning her professional card. The coveted pro card opens Yarter up to prize money at the competi-tions. A top contestant can earn six figures at the major shows. Plus, the card gets the attention of major sponsors, something Yarter would definitely welcome. But the big return doesn’t come with a check. “I just love the way I look,” Yarter said with a smile. [email protected]

A fritatta is a flat omelette. You can use any filling you wish. I like combos such as fresh spinach, tomato, bacon and a favorite cheese. Or try sauteed red onion, green pepper, mushroom and cheese with sausage or ham.

For three to four servings:n 6 eggsn 1½ cups of your favorite fillingn ½ cup of one of these: Colby jack, Monterrey jack, pepper jack, provolone, American or your favorite cheese

Put a well-seasoned cast-iron

skillet or a nonstick 10-inch skillet on medium heat. Make sure the skillet has an oven-safe handle. Add 1½ tablespoons olive oil or butter. Whisk the eggs with a fork in a small bowl for a few seconds. Add the filling and mix. Add the egg mixture to the skillet and cook until the top is creamy and set.

Place the pan in 350-degree oven. The fritatta will be done in less than a minute. You don’t want to brown the top.

Placing some fresh avocado on top or serving with a smokey salsa is an added bonus.

HCCT’s comedy ‘Charlie Cox’ is a ‘touching’ production COTTONWOOD SHORES — The cast is set for the Hill Country Community Theatre’s upcoming com-edy “Charlie Cox Runs with Scissors.” The play by Michael McKeever runs April 25-May 5 at the theater, 4003 FM 2147 West. Performances are 7:30 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays and 2:15 p.m. Sundays. According to a theater news release, “Charlie Cox Runs with Scissors” is about a middle-aged guy named Charlie who has never been in love and never taken a risk. When faced with one big, unexpected problem, he hits the road, hoping to find some meaning to his life. At a broken-down motel in the middle of nowhere, he accidentally stumbles upon the one great love of his life. “This play is truly unique and so well-written that it’s practically impos-sible for it not to be entertaining,” director Todd Essary said. “From Day One, we’ve found ourselves laughing our way through rehearsals. We’re also repeatedly being struck by the thought-ful, touching moments of truth the play offers. The depth, richness and broad scope of this play makes it accessible to any audience. I think it’s inevitable that everyone who sees ‘Charlie Cox’ will be compelled to reflect on it and talk about it.” Admission is $15 for adults and $7 for students 16 and younger. Group rates are available. For reservations, call the box office at (830) 798-8944. For more, visit www.thehcct.org.

THEATER PRODUCTION(Llano area)

BY JENNIFER FIERROPicayune Staff

MARBLE FALLS — Just maybe being chosen for a “Locals Love Us” award will be enough to entice Jon Clark to direct another play. Clark directed The Hill Country Community Theatre’s “Unnecessary Farce,” which earned the honor of Best Theater Production for the Llano area from The Picayune readers. The production ran last fall at the theater in Cottonwood Shores. “It’s definitely nice to know we did something right,” he said. “You don’t do what you love primarily for awards. When those come around, I’m grateful and humbled by it.” Before this play, however, Clark didn’t want to direct a production. But that changed when Clark, the Marble Falls Middle School theater arts teacher, was handed the script from his former high school teacher, Mary Ann Fletcher. “I was laughing out loud when I read it to myself,” he said with a

smile. It also helped that most of the rehearsals were during the summer, when he isn’t teaching, Clark said. Once he decided to direct, Clark recruited Adam Goodman to serve as the technical director. “He liked doing the technical thing and learned more about it,” he said. “That’s the straw that broke the camel’s back as far as me doing the production. Without him, I’m not sure I’d do the play.” The moment the cast gathered together for the first reading confirmed to Clark what he already thought. “The timing was right and the play was right,” he said. “And the casting was perfect. I just knew it was going to be great. A lot of hard work went into it. I’m proud to be a small part of it.” So will he direct another? “If the right one comes around,” he said with a grin. “And if Hill Country Community Theatre wants me again.” [email protected]

Readers cherish

tradition of ‘Fantasy Nutcracker’

BY JARED FIELDSPicayune Staff

MARBLE FALLS — For 11 years, the Harmony School for Creative Arts production of “Fantasy Nutcracker” has been a holiday tradition. “There are ones who come year after year, and you watch these kids and watch them grow,” said Barbara Bend, executive direc-tor of the Harmony School of Creative Arts. That is why the center’s annu-al tradition earned The Picayune’s 2013 “Locals Love Us” Best Theater Production for the Marble Falls area. Bend said the months of ded-ication and hard work pay off for her and the students once the pro-duction begins. “They get on stage and just shine,” she said. “To see those smiles, happy parents and see them succeed.” Last year’s production ran for three shows and offered patrons during the third performance the opportunity to bring a toy dona-tion as admission.

The BEST in the Highland Lakes

Horseshoe Bay Police night-shift com-mander John “Chip” Leake accepts his ‘Locals Love Us Award’ from The Picayune’s advertising sales represen-tative Douglas Rudd. Readers voted Leake the best Llano County Law Enforcement Officer for 2013. COURTESY PHOTO


HORSESHOE BAY — John “Chip” Leake said there are two characteristics that guide him as a peace officer. “In a professional sense, you have to treat people with dignity and respect to get that back,” said Leake, who works for the Horseshoe Bay Police Department. The Picayune readers chose Leake, 56, as the best Llano County Law Enforcement Officer in the 2013 “Locals Love Us” awards. His law-enforcement career spans 34 years. He served 27 years with the Texas Department of Public Safety — 15 years with the highway patrol and 12 years with commercial vehi-cle enforcement — before going to work for Horseshoe Bay Police Department. Leake, who is the night-shift commander, has been with the agen-cy for about five years.

LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER(Llano area)

Public dignity and respect are tenets of an effective Horseshoe Bay peace officer

“Most of the officers I work with have been retired from other areas and bring a lot of knowledge and experience to the department,” he said. His parents were among his role models, instilling in him wisdom and ambition. “My mom was one of these ladies that always told you to treat other people like you would want to be treated yourself. My dad was retired U.S. Navy for 23 years — (serving) in World War II and Korea,” Leake said. “He always wanted to provide a service to his country. He inspired me to take it a step further, go to college.” After obtaining a degree in crim-inal justice from Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Leake graduated from police academies in the Austin and Houston areas. He has lived in Burnet County since 1997. He has one adult son. He and his wife, Joan, have been married for 12 years.

Leake said he believes he has found the ideal location to protect and serve. “Horseshoe Bay is more commu-nity oriented. It’s a beautiful area to work, “ he said. “The citizens appre-ciate what you’re doing, and we pro-vide the best service we can.” [email protected]

CITY EMPLOYEE(Burnet area)

Fixture at Burnet City Hall wears many hats as she serves town

BY JARED FIELDSPicayune Staff

BURNET — Being voted Best City Employee in the The Picayune’s 2013 “Locals Love Us” awards came as a surprise to Joyce Laudenschlager. The assistant city manager is in her 27th year of working for Burnet, but she often works behind the scenes. “A lot of people are more visible,” Laudenschlager said. Maybe to the public, but within City Hall, she is a well-known fixture who wears many hats. Originally hired as the city’s director of finance — a position she still holds — Laudenschlager also is certified as a city secretary,

a court clerk and a court administra-tor and has been the interim director of Galloway-Hammond Recreation Center for almost a year. With the Williamson County YMCA expected to take over manage-ment of Galloway-Hammond by the fall and the city looking to hire a new director of finance, Laudenschlager might be handing a few hats to new people. But that won’t matter to those in the city she sees every day. “They said that whoever gets my place, they don’t want a new boss, they want me,” Laudenschlager said. “For the most part, I get along with most everybody. I’ve only (been) mad a couple times in 27 years, so that’s not bad.” [email protected]

MARBLE FALLS — Some of the old U.S. 281 bridge that once spanned Lake Marble Falls will have a chance to live on thanks to the efforts of local art enthusiasts. “I just thought, ‘What a great oppor-tunity to use a piece of the past to create something for the future,’” local artisan Janey Rives said. “And what more per-fect place to put it than in front of the new Visitors Center.” Rives and local sculptor Dan Pogue recently announced the “Bridging the Past to the Future” call for sculpture concepts. The program asks sculptors to submit drawings and proposals for a piece created from materials from the old bridge that will go in front of the new Marble Falls/Lake LBJ Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center, located at Second Street and U.S. 281, just north of the lake. “This way, we get to keep a piece of the past,” Pogue said. “And what an exciting way to do it.” At least 50 percent of the sculpture must utilize materials from the old bridge that was demolished March 17 after connecting the north and south sides of Lake Marble Falls for 77 years. Hill Country Recycling in Marble Falls, which won the bid to collect and recy-cle the old bridge pieces, has agreed to provide the materials to the winning sculptor. “We’ve already had a lot of interest from sculptors,” Rives said. “I think it will be intriguing to see what the sculp-tors submit.” Pogue said organizers hope to pick a winning design April 1 from submitted drawings and models. Then the work begins. “The idea is to finalize it by the third week in October and do the unveiling the same week of Sculpture on Main,” he said. Sculpture on Main is a year-long celebration of arts during which artists display sculptures in downtown Marble Falls. The pieces are changed each year, typically in October. Rives said the Marble Falls Community Arts Program will donate the winning sculpture to the city of Marble Falls. “In my mind, I can’t think of a better way to use some of the pieces of the old bridge to give us a gift for the future,” Rives said. “It’s going to be an impres-sive piece that will be no less than 15

feet high. And think about the impact it will have on people as they come across that new bridge into Marble Falls. What a wonderful way to welcome people to our city and community.”

For more information about Sculpture on Main or the bridge project, go to www.marblefalls.org or www.sculptureonmain.org. [email protected]

MARBLE FALLS — A site at the entryway of the city of Marble Falls now bears a historical marker that chronicles how the old textile mill prop-erty evolved as an economic driver for the Highland Lakes. “That location right there caught (Gen. Adam R.) Johnson’s eye. He’s

the one that put together the group that founded the town,” said Fran McSpadden of Falls on the Colorado Museum. “The falls were there, and that was what would create power to support the industry.” Marble Falls was founded in 1887 by Gen. Johnson. He and a group of entrepreneurs launched Marble Falls Cotton and Woolen Co., which made textile products in the mill built on the north bank of the Colorado River at the

south entrance of the city. In the 1970s, officials installed a his-torical marker adjacent to the property. The Burnet County Historical Commission moved the sign to the original site in February. “It always has been an important landmark. It was just in the wrong place,” said Caryl Calsyn, chairwom-an of the Burnet County Historical Commission. “People couldn’t get to it to read it. Now it’s in a place that’s

accessible.” After decades of development, the property has become the site of Riverbend Conference Center, Hampton Inn, Chili’s and River City Grille. Paul Brady, owner of River City Grille, said he welcomed the request to place the marker near the entrance of his restaurant’s front door. “(The marker is) back home again. This is the actual location of the build-

ing, and we’re pleased that it’s here,” he said. “It’s a big deal. We’ve already had a lot of comments from people.” The re-location reminds visitors and residents of the industrial roots of the city, said Jane Knapick, past pres-ident of the Burnet County Historical Society. “I like to think we will build on what our ancestors have left for us,” Knapick said.
