BERTRAM — Shir ley Wright watched as a small army of orange-clad workers nailed, sawed, pounded and did just about everything else needed to turn her new house into a home. “I’m just overwhelmed by the blessings the Lord has pro-vided,” Wright said. “This will change our lives.”

Wright, a disabled Army veteran who served 18 years of active duty and one year in the reserves, couldn’t believe what she was witnessing on her patch of land off CR 274 just north of Bertram. For the past several years, she and her two granddaughters, whom she adopted, lived in a 288-square-foot house — better described as a cabin. Then, one of her daughters, Renee, moved back in, cramming four people into

the small structure. On or before Veterans Day, Wright and her family will move into a new, 1,472-square-foot home thanks to the Home Depot Foundation, Team Depot, Liberty Buildings and Star-Tec Builders. The project, funded by the Home Depot Foundation, has groups of volunteers descending upon Wright’s property to trans-form the shell of her house into

HORSESHOE BAY — When doc-tors began treating Horseshoe Bay firefighter Jeff Walker after an August car accident, they told his friends and family the father of three faced great odds in recovering. “They said he had a one-in-10,000

chance of surviving,” said Austin Fletcher, a friend of Walker’s since elementary school. “He’s sur-passed those odds.” In fact, Walker has already defied most p rognoses , f rom

Despite the distance he’s covered since the Aug. 17 accident, the road ahead for a full recovery is long and steep. “He still has quite a ways to go,” Fletcher said. “His medical bills

already are astronomical, and he’s going to need a lot of help.” So Fletcher and several of Walker’s friends decided to throw a fundraiser. On Nov. 3, they are invit-ing everybody to the It’s All For Jeff! Ultimate Fundraiser, which features a golf tournament on Ram Rock at Horseshoe Bay, a barbecue dinner at Quail Point Lodge, a chance to win $5,000, a silent auction and a treasure hunt. “We came up with a lot of differ-ent things because we know a lot of folks may not play golf,” Fletcher said before continuing, “but how many people do you know get to play on Ram Rock for $100?” The cost of the four-person scram-ble is $100 and includes a barbecue dinner. For information or to register, contact [email protected] or (830) 613-0367. Organizers also are selling 300 chances to win $5,000. The tickets are $100 each. This is a last-ticket-drawn contest, so there will be lots of consolation prizes along the way. The drawing is 6:30 p.m. Nov. 3 at Quail Point Lodge, 107 Twilight. People can purchase tickets by contacting Susie Keiser at [email protected] or (830) 693-3505. There also will be a silent auction and a barbecue dinner in conjunction with the event at the lodge. The silent auction starts at 5 p.m., while the din-ner starts about 6 p.m. Tickets for the dinner are $20 for adults and $10 for children ages 4-10.

Another twist to the event is a trea-sure hunt. For $25 per person, people can go on a treasure hunt around Horseshoe Bay before returning to Quail Point Lodge at the end. Contact Sam Martin at [email protected] for more information. The fundraising efforts and other support hasn’t gone unnoticed by Walker’s family. “We are humbled about the love and support of Marble Falls and Horseshoe Bay communities,” said his mother, Trish Walker. “Jeff is cognitive enough now to appreciate all the efforts as well.” Jeff Walker is currently at the Texas NeuroRehab Center in Austin undergoing treatment. “He says he knew he had lots of friends, but he had no idea how much he meant to so many of them,” Trish Walker said. “He is amazed at all the love and support.” As family and friends settle in for Walker’s road to recovery, they know he has plenty of support to guide him along the way. “It’s really a miracle how much he’s accomplished considering what doctors expected,” Fletcher said. “I know there has been a lot of people praying for him, and we just ask that everybody keep those prayers com-ing.” Trish Walker agreed. “We give God all the glory for Jeff’s recovery,” she said. Contact Fletcher at (830) 220-3107 or [email protected] for more information or to get involved.

COTTONWOOD SHORES — The haunted house once was an annual tradition for the Cottonwood Shores Volunteer Fire Department. Perhaps, more important, it also was an annual fundraiser. So theVFD decided to bring it back for four nights beginning Oct. 30 at the department, 610 Birch Lane. “It’s our first year, and, hopefully, it’s a good one,” said Heather Hyslop, the Cottonwood Shores VFD training officer. Hyslop said the haunted house will be constructed outside the firehouse. “It’s not an actual structure,” she said. “We’re decorating it with lights and scary stuff and sounds.” Admission to the haunted house is $3 and open to all ages. On the first night, the haunted house will be open 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The following three nights — Oct. 31-Nov. 2 — it will be open from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Money raised from the haunted house will benefit the volunteer fire department. Fire Chief Deavon DeLancey said the small department needs the funds to help offset rising costs for training and equipment. “If it turns out to be a big deal, (it helps with) the equipment, training and various items we haven’t been able to afford before,” DeLancey said. The haunted house also gives the department a chance to interact with the community. “I’m really looking forward to the community’s involvement and for more people to be aware of the depart-ment,” Hyslop said. Call (830) 693-5191 for more.

MARBLE FALLS — Minutes after the Marble Falls High School football team’s dramatic 45-41 victory against Cedar Park Vista Ridge on Oct. 25, head coach Todd Dodge instituted the 24-hour rule. “This is so big for our team,” he said. “There (was) a lot of hard work to get this victory. We can enjoy it for 24 hours. They deserve to enjoy it for awhile. Then, we got to get back to work.” And that means by Oct. 26, the Mustangs (3-5, 1-3 in District 25-4A) focused on the Dripping Springs Tigers. Dripping Springs (2-8, 0-4) enters this contest on a four-game losing streak, falling to Leander High 44-7 on Oct. 25.

The Tigers use two different quar-terbacks. Sophomore Shep Shepard has completed 44 of 74 passes for 388 yards with two touchdowns and four interceptions and 32 carries for 43 yards and two rushing touchdowns. Senior quarterback T.J. Coble has 52 rushes for 69 yards and four touchdowns. Sophomore running back Bobby Credeur leads the Tigers’ rushing attack with 94 carries for 495 yards and five touchdowns. Senior receiver Zack Zamora has caught 24 passes for 515 yards and four touchdowns, and senior receiver Eli Shelton has caught 24 passes for 213 yards for Dripping Springs. Marble Falls and Dripping Springs have played some memorable games during the past three years. In 2010, the Mustangs had to go on the road to earn a crucial 47-10 victory that helped them

reach the playoffs. In 2011, the Tigers took advantage of an injury-plagued Marble Falls team en route to a 17-0 victory. In 2012, former Marble Falls kicker Jacob Wyatt nailed a 29-yard field goal with 13 seconds remaining to give the Mustangs a 38-35 win, their only one in district win. “Nice high school rivalry teams,” Dodge said. “They’ve been playing each other a long time.” Marble Falls gave itself a chance at the postseason thanks to senior receiv-er Garrett Gray’s performance against Vista Ridge. He caught 10 passes for 185 yards and three touchdowns, ran in a 94-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and took a direct snap for a two-yard dash to pay dirt. His kickoff return was especially dramatic. Vista Ridge had forced a turnover on downs and connected on a 64-yard touchdown pass to build a 28-19 lead. Gray caught the kickoff and looked for a seam based on what the Mustangs designed. “I was watching for it,” he said. “I was watching for the left side, I was watching for the hole.” That’s when he used his speed and outran the closest Ranger by three strides. And even though Vista Ridge answered with a kickoff return for a touchdown of their own on the follow-ing play, Gray’s score gave his team-mates renewed energy. The motivation? “Playoffs — just one word,” Gray said. “This is the playoffs pretty much. It’s the mentality we have going in.”

MARBLE FALLS — The Faith Academy football team has to win one more game to complete an undefeated regular season. And it couldn’t be any bigger as the Flames (9-0, 2-0 in Division III District 3 of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools) wel-come Temple Central Texas Christian on Nov. 1. Faith and CTC (4-4, 2-0) are both undefeated in district play and have secured playoff berths. The winner of this contest will be the district champion and will host a first-round playoff game. “It’s what we live for,” Flames head coach Russ Roberts said. “The most disappointing thing about high school

football is not to finish the year this way. The percentages say most high school teams will not finish in a game that counts.” After the Flames shut out San Antonio Hawkins 31-0 on Oct. 24, Roberts said Faith Administrator Mark Earwood met the team for a post-game meal. Earwood said he believes CTC can be viewed as a rivalry dating back to when the two squads faced each other on the 6-man field. “If we have a rivalry, it’s probably CTC,” Roberts said. “It’s why you work out in the 100-degree heat in August and you do all the extra things, like 7-on-7 and lift weights. This is what it’s all about.” CTC went through a transition at the beginning of the season when some of its players didn’t return to the program, Roberts said. That might explain why the Lions

started the season by losing four of their first five contests, he said. But now, they are on a three-game winning streak. And Roberts isn’t surprised by the turnaround, he said, because of the deep respect he has for CTC head coach Joe Oliver. The two have been in education about the same number of years. “He’s extremely knowledgeable,” he said. “He makes me nervous. I can’t fool him. He’s very experienced. He’s seen it all, I know that.” Roberts gave his players the day off Oct. 25, a day after their ninth con-secutive victory. He realized he broke up the routine but noted it had already been broken with a rare Thursday night game. “I’m going to be interested to see if all the kids come back stronger,” he said.

DEFENSIVELINE


BURNET — The Burnet Bulldogs and the Llano Yellow Jackets football teams will clash Nov. 1 at Bulldog Stadium with both squads still very much in the thick of the playoff hunt. One team will enter with a two-game winning streak, while the other one is trying to avoid a losing streak. The Yellow Jackets (4-4, 2-1 in District 8-3A) are second in the divi-sion, while the Bulldogs (5-3, 1-2), after a 14-7 loss to first-place Liberty Hill on Oct. 25, have the same district record as Lampasas, Gatesville and Brownwood. Burnet head coach Kurt Jones said the district records illustrate the strength of the teams and there’s still much to be determined with two weeks remaining in the regular season. “I think it’s a strong district,” he said. “Everybody knew that going in. You look at what everybody has done, so everybody is stinking good.

Burnet knows Llano will be tough district matchup

Everybody has beaten up on teams in other districts. Nobody can go into any game and feel like it’s a gimme. It’s a strong district.” The Yellow Jackets are led by senior quarterback Layton Rabb, who has completed 63 of 115 passes for 974 yards with seven touchdowns and six interceptions and has 31 carries for 197 yards and five touchdowns in only half the games this year. Senior receiver Isaac Hutto has 31 receptions for 436 yards and four touchdowns, while junior receiver Jalen Bauman has 31 catches for 419 yards and three touchdowns for Llano. Senior running back Carter Tatsch has 137 rushes for 755 yards and six touch-downs. “They’re a strong offense,” Jones said. “Rabb does a great job for them. They’ve got several big receivers who are good playmakers. They probably have the fastest running back in the

district.” The Bulldogs coach noted the Llano defense has stepped up in the biggest games for them. “They’re well coached on defense as well, and they have them doing all the right things,” he said. “They’re a very well-coached team and play with confidence, and we know it’ll be a chal-lenge.” During Burnet’s loss to Liberty Hill, Bulldogs quarterback Derek Kiser completed 17 of 36 passes for 202 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Though he’s had only three intercep-tions this season, this one came at the most inopportune time. With the Bulldogs trailing with less than a minute remaining, Panther Jason Reeves intercepted a tipped pass to allow Liberty Hill to preserve the 14-7 win.

LLANO — Twelve hours after his Llano High School football team earned a convincing 37-25 road win against Gatesville on Oct. 25, Yellow Jackets head coach Craig Slaughter couldn’t contain his enthusiasm. He agreed it was the biggest win he’s had as Llano’s head coach. “No doubt,” he said. “I’m beyond fired up. It was a huge win that we needed to get.” The Yellow Jackets (4-4, 2-1 in District 8-3A) will look to extend their winning streak to three when they pay a visit to Bulldog Field to take on Burnet on Nov. 1. The Bulldogs (5-3, 1-2) will try to avoid their first losing streak of the season and aim to put a 14-7 loss to Liberty Hill on Oct. 25 behind them. Both squads are very familiar with each other. Llano competes in the Burnet 7-on-7 League each May, so both teams know the other’s skill-position players very well. The Bulldogs are led by senior quarterback Derek Kiser, who has completed 157 of 252 passes for 2,196 yards with 23 touchdowns and three interceptions so far this year. Senior running back Trenton Hafley has 136 rushes for 716 yards and 11 touchdowns, and senior receiver Blayne Parisher has caught 32 pass-es for 570 yards and 10 touchdowns. Defensively, the Bulldogs are led by junior linebacker Kody Hall. “Burnet will always be tough,” Slaughter said. “Good kids. Good coaching staff. You better be pre-pared every time you play those guys. We will be as prepared as we can be.” Currently, the Yellow Jackets are second in the district stand-ings behind Liberty Hill (7-1, 3-0). Burnet, Lampasas, Brownwood and Gatesville are each 1-2 in the divi-

sion. “I like where we are at,” the Yellow Jackets coach said. “But we’re much more concerned with where we finish.” Part of the reason why Slaughter was thrilled with the victory at Gatesville is because of how it came about. The Yellow Jackets scored 25 unanswered points in the first half for a 25-7 lead before the Hornets closed to 25-13 by the half. When Gatesville trimmed the deficit to 25-19 in the second half, Llano senior quarterback Layton Rabb hit senior receiver Chance Ware for a 42-yard touchdown. Junior receiver Jalen Bauman added the last Yellow Jackets touchdown with less than six minutes remaining in the game. Slaughter called it the most com-plete game his athletes have played with him as the head coach. “Momentum is an amazing thing,” he said. “Things run smooth-er. Kids play sharper and faster. The defense was solid. We made them work. We didn’t give up big plays. I’m very pleased. Proud of them.”

MARBLE FALLS — The Central Texas Rhythm semiprofessional bas-ketball team was already holding its practices in Marble Falls. So after the team held two suc-cessful fundraisers in town, adminis-trators decided to make Marble Falls the squad’s home for games. “What made the decision for me was the benefit we did for Johnny Mosley’s family,” head coach Dennis O. Porter said. Mosley, a graduate of Burnet High School, drowned at Inks Lake State Park in May. Several of the members of the Rhythm, including the coach, were friends of Mosley. And the team wanted to raise money to honor him and help his family, Porter said. The Rhythm, which is a member of the United Basketball League, held a fundraiser in January and one on Oct. 25 in Marble Falls to benefit the Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas.

The one in January raised $500. The Rhythm were playing their home games at the Clay Madsen Recreation Center in Round Rock. But Porter said it made more financial sense to play in the Marble Falls Middle School gymnasiums. The team was able to raise $1,000 for Mosley’s family, which demon-strated the interest of local fans, the coach said. “The turnout was so big,” he said. “It was very personal for us.” The season tips off in January. Porter said he created the team with the aim of helping his players reach the next level of professional basket-ball. Many of them played college basketball or on other professional teams. Porter said he will hold tryouts 6 p.m. Nov. 2 at First United Methodist Church, 1101 Bluebonnet Drive. The coach said he hopes the team draws in many more fans. “We want everybody to come out and be part of the Rhythm nation,” he said.

Central Texas Rhythm makes home in MFalls


that made Robertson such a legend, it was his entire life. Born Julian Robertson in 1909, he earned an international reputation as a swimmer with trips to the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles and by winning championships as a mem-ber of the University of Michigan swim team. Throughout his life, Robertson didn’t let anything stop him from pur-suing his dream. Lucksinger said if there’s anything people can learn from the book and Robertson’s life, it’s how sometimes it just takes putting one’s head down and forging ahead to get things done. “I think the thing people can take away from this book is the amazing amount of things a person can do and create by the sheer force of will,” Lucksinger said. He pointed out his grandfather wasn’t hired as the University of Texas swim coach, even though he was recruiting swimmers for the school. In fact, at the time, UT didn’t even have a swim team. But that didn’t stop Robertson, Lucksinger said. “UT didn’t know anything about Tex until they started getting commit-ment letters from these swimmers he had recruited,” Lucksinger said with a

laugh. “One day, he shows up at UT to collect his mail and says, ‘I’m your swim coach.’ They were like, ‘We don’t have a swim coach. We don’t have a swim team.’ He didn’t ask, he just start-ed.” Robertson’s life had many facets. During World War II, Robertson helped train Navy underwater demolition tech-nicians. These were the men who went out before a major beach landing and cleared paths through mines and other obstacles so soldiers on the landing craft had a better chance of making it to shore. As Lucksinger began linking up with people who knew his grandfather and uncovering more stories about the man’s life, the writer soon realized a book about Robertson wouldn’t neatly fit into a straight timeline. So he broke it up into sections based on different focuses of Robertson’s life. “I describe (the biography) as five books in one,” Lucksinger said. “It’s mostly split up by topics, so there are five different story arcs. Some of them overlap, but I think it’s easier for the reader this way.” When it comes to his own mem-ories of his grandfather, Lucksinger recalls Robertson’s humor and quick wit, something the former UT coach demonstrated throughout his life. “Up to his death (in 2007), when he was 98, Tex still had that sharp wit,” Lucksinger said. “And the other thing is his whole life was just about going out and doing it, never asking for per-mission.” Go to www.rosslucksinger.com or Amazon.com to purchase a copy of Robertson’s biography.

IF YOU GOWHAT: Program with Ross Lucksinger, the author of “Tex: The Father of Texas Swimming”WHEN: 3 p.m. Nov. 3WHERE: BCISD Parent Resource Center, 202 E. Brier St. in Burnet


BURNET — Growing up at Camp Longhorn, Ross Lucksinger always knew there was something special about his grandfather, the late Tex Robertson. “There were so many stories around him,” Lucksinger said. “He was such an amazing man.” Two years ago, Lucksinger began delving into his grandfather’s past. The journey led him to an Olympic swim-mer and countless other people who shared stories about how Robertson shaped their lives. After a year of research and then a year of writing, Lucksinger recently released his book, “Tex: The Father of Texas Swimming.” The Burne t Conso l ida t ed Independent School District’s Parent Resource Center is hosting a meet-the-author event Nov. 3 at 3 p.m. for people to come out, meet Lucksinger and hear him talk about his grandfather. The resource center is located at 202 E. Brier St. Part of the impetus behind the book was to determine how many of the sto-ries Lucksinger heard about his grand-father were accurate and not stretches. “The tales got so tall and the legend so big, part of it was just trying to find out what was the truth,” Lucksinger said. “It turns out, most of it was actu-ally true.” Robertson is a Burnet County icon. He and his wife established Camp Longhorn on Inks Lakes in 1939 before adding Camp Longhorn Indian Springs, also in Burnet County, in 1975. But it wasn’t just his work at the camp

GRANITE SHOALS — Pat Heinecke still remembers the lessons she learned when she first began wait-ing tables years ago. “It was always about service,” she said. “That’s what people appreciated, and still do. It’s not about giving some-thing to somebody for free. No, they want good service.” Throughout her life, Heinecke has worked hard at practicing that con-cept, whether she was waiting tables at somebody else’s restaurant, helping open Marriott hotels or operating her own businesses, which include the Farm House Restaurant in Granite Shoals and the El Rio Food & Fuel in Kingsland. This summer, however, she noticed a big drop-off at the Farm House, and it raised some big concerns. “I don’t know what happened,” Heinecke said. She admitted for the past several years she has been focused on El Rio and other Kingsland prop-erties, but she has now returned her attention to the restaurant that got her started in the Highland Lakes. “I want people to know I’m back at the Farm House, and I’m going to work hard to make it right,” she said. The Farm House, located at the corner of Phillips Ranch Road and RR 1431, has offered diners a place to eat for almost 50 years. The barn-red build-ing stands out.

Farm House owner continues to stress the value of service

While it’s been open for about five decades, Heinecke took it over 18 years ago after she and her husband, John, moved to the area from Houston. “I’d always wanted to own my own restaurant,” she said. “I told my hus-band, when we were at the Farm House one time, that I’d like to own it if I ever got the chance.” “Wanting” and “doing” are, how-ever, two very different things. But Heinecke wasn’t somebody who feared putting a hard day’s work in. Through her years at waiting tables and then helping open Marriott restau-rants across the country, Heinecke not only had a good idea about the amount of work it took to run a restaurant but also ideas about how to make one suc-cessful. The couple knew the previous own-ers of the Farm House, and, eventually, she purchased the iconic dining facility. “When I first bought this, I was the one who opened it in the morning and was the one who vacuumed the floor at night,” she said. Between those two points, she tackled just about every part of restaurant work. The Farm House grew stronger. The restaurant gained a reputation for its great catfish, Mexican food, ham-burgers and homemade sauces. Heinecke expanded her business

portfolio, eventually adding El Rio Food & Fuel, El Rio Cottages and several rental properties. Her attention shifted to the Kingsland area, where she began spending more and more of her time. A severe storm in February 2010 ripped the roof off El Rio Food & Fuel, leaving some to speculate whether she would rebuild. But Heinecke, if any-thing, is a fighter. She not only rebuilt it, she made it better. However, the other businesses and reconstruction kept her attention from the Farm House. Last Christmas, she closed the restaurant for its regular hiatus. This time, she kept the restaurant closed until March to do renovations and other upgrades. Though she’s not exactly sure what the future holds for the Farm House, Heinecke isn’t giving up on it. “This restaurant made me who I am today,” she said. “It’s very special to me.”

LLANO — The gourds came out this month, but a select few in Llano won’t be used as Halloween deco-rations. Instead, Sherry Simpson is turning them into birdhouses to serve another purpose. “My personal desire is to use my craft to help my community,” said Simpson, whose decorative gourds help support the nonprofit Llano Parks Project. The gourds — on sale at the new Phunky Phoenix and Roots at 102 Legion Drive — are one way Llano Parks Project organizers hope to bring even more beauty to the city’s land-scape. Vivian Koerner, vice president of the organization, said the group came to life after she and others went to the city to see how they could best improve some of the parks. Some pos-itive responses from a Facebook page led to the formation of the nonprofit. “What we would like to do, and we have to wait for the city manager’s approval, is have a bench at Moore Field,” Koerner said. “There’s a play-scape but no place to sit.” From a bench to even larger plans, Koerner said the group has grand ideas, including playscapes and an indoor swimming pool. “We would love to put $100,000 into our parks,” she said. Koerner said she would like to see things such as a splash pad at one of the city’s parks and a sandy beach-front along the river. “We would love to have another voice in the community,” Koerner said. “We constantly want to contin-ue growing, and we can’t if we’re not open to new ideas.” Board meetings are open to any-one interested and held on the first Tuesday of the month. Visit www.llanoparksproject.org for more infor-mation. [email protected]

a four-bedroom, two-bath home. “I might get lost in this one,” Wright said about the new house. “But I know where my bedroom is. I’ll be waking up every day with the morning sun coming in.” The house, which arrived Oct. 23 from Star-Tec Builders in Temple, opens a new world for the family, especially the two granddaughters, Marissa Wright, 12, and Cailyn Wright, 7. “This goes beyond just the house,” said Don Bebee, owner of Liberty Buildings of Liberty Hill. “This is a life-changer for the two girls. And not just because of the house. Seeing all these people come out and help them is going to leave an impression on them for the rest of their lives. So, they’ll pass that idea of generosity and helping others on. It’s just going to keep going.” In the immediate future, both girls, as well as Wright and her daughter, will get their own rooms. It’s something Wright believes will make a major difference in her granddaughters’ lives. “They are at the age now where they need their own space,” she said. “They need a room they each can call their own. For girls, that’s so import-ant. I think it’s going to make a big difference for them. And for all of us.” While Bebee didn’t know he would be helping change the lives of Wright and her family when the 64-year-old veteran walked into his business doors about two years ago, he has done just that. The two met when Wright came to him looking to purchase a shed to put on her prop-erty. As the two were talking, Marissa sat drawing a picture. When the Wright’s left, Bebee saw the pic-ture, picked it up and pinned it to his office wall. “I just kept thinking about them,” he said. At one point, Bebee went to Wright’s property when he was helping place one of the sheds and saw the family’s home. At the time, he didn’t know if he could help them, but he decided if the chance came, he would. By chance, Mike Reichert, a Team Depot captain, asked an acquaintance of Bebee if he knew of any veteran in the Liberty Hill or Bertram areas who needed some assistance with their home. The man

put him in touch with Bebee. And Bebee told Reichert about Wright. The wheels began rolling. Team Home Depot is a volunteer mechanism of Home Depot, Reichert explained. “Everybody out here volunteers their time to do this,” he said on Oct. 24 at Wright’s home. “This is something we all believe in. One of the things I’m loving about this is, for the past 17 years, I’ve been able to give back and do things like this because of Home Depot and the Home Depot Foundation. And who better to help out than a veteran who helped us all out by serving.” The foundation provides funding for a major part of the project. While Wright might be disabled, Bebee said this isn’t a handout. While the foundation is paying for the supplies and materials that go into the house such as drywall, wood and other items, Wright is paying for the home itself. Star-Tec worked through Bebee to secure her good financing, but, in the end, she’ll pay off the modular home.

“Shirley is an extremely respon-sible person,” Bebee said. Wright moved to the Bertram area about 15 years ago but lived in a nearby house. Bebee said when she decided to adopt her two grand-daughters, Wright sold her previous house and land to pay off the mort-gage and buy her current property so she would have no debt. “She wanted to go before the judge completely solvent, so it would help her in adopting her granddaughters,” Bebee said. “She gave up everything to gain every-thing.” While it meant living in a tiny structure, it also meant bringing her family together. And even as she added a new shed, Wright paid it off before pur-chasing a second one. Wright always knew her current house wasn’t big enough for her and her granddaughters, and definitely not when her daughter moved in. So she went to Bebee with the idea of purchasing two smaller cabins and putting them together. “The thing about Shirley you need to know is, instead of com-

MARBLE FALLS — As win-ter approaches, so does the time to collect coats, scarves and hats for families in need. And everyone in the community is combining their efforts. “It’s a combination of the stores, the churches, the schools, all helping us collect coats and, of course, the Masonic Lodge for a good place to distribute the coats and Canyon Cleaners for cleaning the coats,” said Monte Kruse, organizer of the 21st annual Marble Falls Noon Lions Club Warm Coat Drive. “It’s not a long season like Minnesota, but it really is bad if a little kid doesn’t have a coat when we get into cold weather.” The Marble Falls Noon Lions Club will collect items through Nov. 21 by placing containers at various locations around Marble Falls, Meadowlakes and Horseshoe Bay, Kruse said. Distribution is 3-6 p.m. Nov. 21-23 at the Masonic Lodge, 319 Ave. G in Marble Falls. “I’ve been helping for six years. I couldn’t keep up, when (Kruse) brings (the containers) in,” said Patty Rogers of Canyon Cleaners, who cleans gently used donated coats at no cost. “We like to help out with the community, and it’s a very good cause for children and adults who need a coat.” The biggest need involves coats, hats and gloves for small children (infants to 10 years). “Some families come in with five to six kids. They’ll each get a coat for each kid,” Kruse said. “It would really be a financial burden to buy six coats for a winter season.” The club also accepts cash dona-tions. “Some of these kids get a new coat, and they’re happy as can be,” Kruse said. The club typically distributes from 300 to 600 coats each year. Donations of gently used coats, caps and gloves can be left in con-tainer locations around the com-munity.

The Home Depot volunteers, called Team Depot, began arriving the week of Oct. 21 to help prep the land for a new modular home that arrived Oct. 23.

plaining about her situation, she comes up with a plan and pursues it,” he said. “I respect that.” When Bebee shared Wright’s story with Reichert and the Home Depot Foundation, they all agreed it would be a worthy project. Each year between Sept. 11 and Veterans Day, Home Depot conducts its Celebration of Service campaign. Funded by the foundation, Team Depot volunteers across the country conduct projects for veterans, though most aren’t as comprehensive as the one for Wright. “In that two months, we’ll com-plete about 400 volunteer projects,” said Kendall McCarty, director of programs for the Home Depot Foundation. “We’ll have Team Depot and community volunteers out here to complete the house so Shirley and her family can move in on or by Veterans Day. Our goal (at the foundation) is to make sure every veteran has a roof over their heads, whether it’s helping a homeless vet who just needs a bed or, in Shirley’s case, helping her get a new home.” Each day, Team Depot volunteers from various Home Depot stores will rotate through Wright’s new home. The Star-Tec house arrived as basically a shell, leaving the vol-unteers to frame it in with walls, lay plumbing and wire it. Several of the volunteers were more familiar with boardrooms and finance than pound-ing T-posts into the ground, but they quickly learned. “We’re getting faster,” said Kristin Doherty, vice president of finance from Atlanta, with a grin. The biggest grin, however, came from Wright as she walked around the new house and among the volu-teers. “These are all angels,” she said. “And one of the biggest is Don. None of this would have happened had it not been for Don.” Bebee, however, shared the praise. “This is one of those old-fash-ioned barn raisings people used to do in early America, where the commu-nity comes together to build a barn,” he said. “I could not have accom-plished this. This is much bigger than me. It’s much bigger than one person. It shows what people can do when they get together for the right reason. And Shirley and her family, well, they’re the right reason.”

FINANCIAL FOCUS: Don't Get "Frightened" by These Scary Investment Ideas

Halloween is upon us. You probably

find the trick-or-treaters at your

doorstep to be more amusing than

alarming. But as you go through life,

you’ll want to avoid some things that

really are scary — such as

frightening investment moves.

One such move is chasing after “hot”

investments. By the time you hear

about a supposedly hot investment

vehicle, it may already be cooling

off.

Also, try not to invest either too

aggressively or too conservatively.

Find the appropriate balance for

your situation.

Here’s another scary move: Taking a

“timeout” from investing. The best

investors just keep on investing right

through market downturns — and,

quite often, their persistence is

rewarded.

Following the crowd can also be a

frightful investment move —

because “the crowd” can collectively

make poor decisions. Make your

choices based on your individual

objectives, risk tolerance and time

horizon.

By staying away from “scary”

investment moves, you may well find

that investing can be a positive

experience. And that’s not a

frightening thought at all.

SAN ANTONIO — About a year ago, Joel Mayor and his wife, Beth, were on the Riverwalk in San Antonio one night when he noticed the Alamo. Well, it wasn’t so much the Alamo, itself, but the lighting illuminating Texas’ historic icon. “It was terrible,” Mayor said. “It didn’t look like something a state shrine should have on it.” Mayor, who owns Texas Outdoor Lighting, which specializes in creating lighting packages that present homes in the best possible illumination, decided he was going to do something about the Alamo’s lighting. Soon after he got home, Mayor began contacting the people in charge of the mission. Their reply was, “Send us something, and we’ll look at it.” So Mayor created a plan using mod-ern, energy-saving LED lights and sent it off. Mayor, a 2000 Llano High School graduate, served in the Navy as an aviation electronic’s mate before his honorable discharge. After learning the ropes of exterior lighting, he and his wife started Texas Outdoor Lighting in 2007. A couple of months after submitting his idea, the Alamo officials contacted Mayor in March. Mayor submitted a mock-up of the lighting scheme and how it would look on the Alamo’s exterior. The officials liked what they saw. Knowing the LED lighting was top of the line and expensive, Mayor and the light company he works with decid-ed to do it all on the house. “This is, after all, one of the most sacred pieces of Texas history,” Mayor said. After much review, officials gave Mayor’s plan the thumbs-up. The project only included lighting for the exterior portion of the Alamo, not the interior or outside grounds. The caveat for completing the proj-ect was all the work had to be done at night and everything had to be set in such a way the Alamo could be open during regular hours. Mayor under-stood the constraints (he often works at night on projects). The crew went to work in early October. Despite the design approval, Mayor’s nerves rattled a bit the first time he and workers started cutting into the ground to set in lights and wiring. “I actually felt like vomiting, I was

so nervous,” he said. But everything went as planned. Each night for three nights, the crew wrapped up work so daily visitors still could go in and out of the Alamo. The new system not only adds a much better light to the Alamo, it also will save the state a tremendous amount on energy costs. For Mayor and his wife, this just wasn’t another project. “I don’t think it’s sunk in yet,” he said. “It’s a special place; it’s the Alamo. I feel really blessed to be the one who got to do this.” Go to www.texasoutdoorlighting.com for more information on Mayor’s company and work.
