Elderly woman found dead Friday in burned residenceBy AlexAndriA rAndolph

Burnet Bulletin

An elderly woman was found dead after emergency responders were finally able to douse the fire that consumed

her home in Hoover’s Valley on Friday, July 10, Burnet County authorities said.

The remains of Hazel Et-ter, 96, were discovered in the back of the home after her brick house was consumed by

flames Friday morning. At about 11 a.m., Burnet

County Sheriff’s Office re-ceived a report of a structure fire in the 700 block of Clen Oak Parkway. The fire was called in by an alarm company,

which reported an individual had activated their emergency pendant and was requesting help for a fire, according to a statement by the Burnet Coun-ty Sheriff’s Office.

“Moments later a nearby

resident reported a house on fire on the same street,” offi-cials reported.

The home was “fully en-gulfed in flames” when depu-ties, as well as fire and EMS personnel responded to the

scene.Burnet County Chief Dep-

uty Joey Canady said while firefighting units were “fairly quick” to arrive, the home was already burning so intensely that firemen could not enter and had to fight the blaze from outside.

Burnet Fire and EMS, Granite Shoals Fire Rescue, Hoover Valley Volunteer Fire Department and East Lake Buchanan Fire Department all responded to the scene.

Justice of the Peace Pct. 2 Calvin Boyd pronounced Et-ter dead at the scene.

Burnet Fire Department personnel advised county in-

There’s a new reporter‘on the beat’ in townfor Burnet Bulletin

Highland Lakes Newspapers has announced that a new, but familiar face has joined the Burnet Bulletin as its full-time reporter/photographer.

Alexandria Randolph may already be familiar to many in the community as she has worked with Highland Lakes Newspapers covering Burnet County as a journalist based out of The Highlander for just over the past three years.

“We’re very pleased Alex is taking on this post and fully expect her to do a great job for the Bulletin,” said Mark Henry, publisher/editor. “She has demonstrated the qualities and skill sets we believe lend themselves to covering and publishing local news that our readers have told us they want to see in their hometown newspaper.”

Under the guidance of Henry and managing editor Lisa Treiber-Walter, her responsibilities will include covering such beats as the Burnet County Commissioners’ Court, the Burnet City Council, the Burnet Consolidated Independent School District, law enforcement incidents and other happenings of importance to the community.

Aside from those duties, Randolph will also continue as the content manager for the weekly supplement “Lake Country Life,” which is inserted into all three newspapers in Burnet, Marble Falls and Llano.

Randolph graduated from Texas A&M University in 2011 with a bachelor’s degree in English and a minor in

Journalism, and received the South Texas Press Association Third Place Journalist of the Year Award in 2014.

Aside from her work at the Burnet Bulletin, Randolph volunteers locally with the Hill Country Community Theatre and enjoys many hobbies including hiking, fishing and knitting. She currently resides in Smithwick.

“Burnet is a really friendly community that has maintained a strong sense of fellowship and a respect for history. I’m looking forward to developing good relationships with people here, and I’m determined to give Burnet a paper and news coverage that community members can be proud of,” Randolph said. “This town is buzzing with activity and I’m ready to dive in!”

BCISD seeking headof maintenance dept.ahead of bond work

By AlexAndriA rAndolph

Burnet Bulletin

Burnet Consolidated In-dependent School District (BCISD) officials are search-ing for a new director of its maintenance and facilities to serve during their bond-fund-ed construction projects this year after director Jerry Bliz-zard announced his resigna-tion last week.

Blizzard, who was named head of the department with Burnet CISD in August 2012, said he will be leaving the dis-trict to work for anther school district and he notified BCISD leaders about two weeks ago.

“I have taken a new posi-tion with Weatherford ISD as the executive director of facili-ties and will be leaving Burnet CISD at the end of July,” Bliz-zard said in an email Thursday morning, July 9. “This is a good opportunity for me and the move will put us closer to our family.”

BCISD Superintendent Keith McBurnett said the dis-trict had already posted the position and will soon begin the interviewing process of candidates.

“We will be selecting the very best candidate for the po-sition with BCISD,” he said. “We’d love to have someone

by the beginning of the school year, but our commitment is to make sure we have the best person in place.”

McBurnett said a quality replacement would need the skill sets and knowledge of facilities, operations, mainte-nance and custodial duties.

“With the passage of the bond in November 2014, we will need someone who under-stands construction,” he added, explaining that bond-funded construction to take place this year are involving renovations to the football stadium and re-placement of organic turf with synthetic turf, a project that would increase the size of the Burnet High School art room, and many other maintenance projects.

Tarla tabbed new ag agent

By AlexAndriA rAndolph

Burnet Bulletin

New county extension agent Kelly Tar-la has a passion for ag education.

A Tarleton graduate, Tarla knew she wanted to be involved with agriculture since her formative years.

“I grew up in an agricultural back-ground. My family was involved in agri-culture,” she said.

Now she sits at the desk previously oc-cupied by Wade Hibler, who retired in Au-gust 2014 after being a staple of the Burnet

County agricultural community and 33-year veteran of the extension service.

As the new Burnet County Texas AgriLife Extension agent, Tarla said there is little she would change about the direc-tion of the Burnet County extension office or its programs, which she described as diverse.

“Wade has a lot of traditional programs in place that need to be continued,” she said. “I’m going to continue to educate and work in that area.”

She added that the office will soon part-ner with the Lampasas County Extension Office to offer more programs.

Tarla pursued her ideal career by at-taining a bachelor degree in agricultural services and development, and went on to pursue a master’s degree in agricultural ed-

“Throughout the month of March, our senior nutrition sites in Georgetown, Round Rock, Leander, Taylor, Bur-net and Marble Falls hosted 13 separate events, shining a

spotlight on our congregate lunch and home-delivery ser-vices,” said officials with the Meals On Wheels organiza-tion. “More than 60 communi-ty leaders joined our dedicated team of volunteer drivers on their daily rounds, deliver-ing hot and nutritious lunch-es to our homebound senior clients.”

These 60 local leaders, or Meals On Wheels “Champi-

Commentary

This Week in Texas History Utopia failed to take root on frontier

BarteeHaile

Texas historian

After three wave-tossed months at sea, a shipload of thirsty Germans streamed ashore at Galveston on July 17, 1847 and went in search of the nearest tavern.

The previous year, Prince Carl Solms-Braunfels had made the rounds of the universities in his fa-therland to talk restless students into taking the Texas challenge. As a re-cruiter for the Adelsverein, an associ-ation of German aristocrats advocat-ing Lone Star colonization as a way to relieve revolutionary pressures, his mission was to fire the imagination of the younger generation with glowing accounts of the New World paradise.

According to a first-hand ac-count, the prince did a great job. He began by telling the students what they already knew -- there was no place for them in crowded Germany. In Texas, however, opportunity was limited only by the talent and effort of the individual.

Solms-Braunfels found an es-pecially receptive audience among so-called “freethinkers,” upper-class radicals who shunned the church and the Bible in an independent quest for God. Besides their nonconformist religious notions, they also sympa-thized with the political doctrine of a fellow German named Karl Marx.

Forty freethinkers decided to put communism to the test on the Tex-as frontier. Out in the wilderness, free from the pernicious influence of self-centered society, they would create a Marxist utopia called the Bettina Colony in honor of a popular

left-wing writer.Although the next leg of the jour-

ney was a short hop down the Gulf Coast to Indianola, the travelers were stranded for weeks in Galves-ton as their ship underwent repairs. To make a bad situation worse, the moment the vessel was ready, it was seized by the U.S. Navy for the war with Mexico.

Anxious to be on their way, the Germans hitched a ride with an in-toxicated captain, who barely cleared the harbor before running his schoo-ner aground. Oblivious to the wel-fare of his passengers, he attempted to go over the side.

Holding the drunken seadog at gunpoint, angry Germans demanded that he resume the voyage or observe naval tradition by going down with the ship. Just then another member of the Bettina party, who happened to be an amateur sailor, seized the helm and steered the schooner to port.

At Indianola the Adelsverein kept its end of the bargain struck months earlier in Europe. As promised, the colonists were paid $10,000 in gold and given a year’s provisions. Sens-

ing the inexperienced pioneers did not grasp what they were going up against, the Adelsverein representa-tive warned them not to expect fur-ther assistance after the money and supplies ran out.

Heading overland for New Braunfels, the Bettina expedition looked more like a college fraternity on a road-trip than a band of intrep-id pilgrims. As one colonist frankly admitted, “We camped on the prairie and sang, drank and enjoyed our-selves as only the German student knows how to do.”

The scheduled layover of a few days at New Braunfels turned into a five-week delay, as the wayfarers waited for two comrades to recover from a bout with typhoid. Finally, in late August 1847, it was off to Fred-ericksburg, the westernmost German settlement.

Bidding civilization farewell in September, the carefree contingent continued the trek toward their desig-nated tract on the banks of the Llano River. Upon reaching the site, they celebrated the end of their long jour-ney with a boisterous party that last-ed until three o’clock in the morning.

The Bettina Colony got off to an encouraging start with the energetic construction of two large, communal shelters. Since the all-male group did not have to worry about separating the sexes, they bedded down togeth-er in a 40-foot by 22-foot wooden building and a spacious adobe house.

Living comfortably off their pro-visions, the happy-go-lucky new-

comers postponed the nasty necessity of getting down to work. Everyone preferred instead to devote his days to intellectual debates about how to put communist theory into real-world practice.

Procrastination and an aversion to manual labor were inevitable giv-en the composition of the colony. With seven lawyers, five foresters, two doctors, two architects, an en-gineer, botanist, theologian and ar-tillery lieutenant, there were far too many chiefs and too few Indians.

By the summer of 1848, the idle immigrants were running low on food and faced the unpleasant prospect of somehow supporting themselves. Under the sobering cir-cumstances, the visionaries had no trouble choosing between the sacri-fices demanded by their communist experiment and the painless alterna-tive of joining already established German communities.

Abandoning Bettina, the German radicals left in one’s and two’s for New Braunfels, Fredericksburg and other thriving settlements. A class-less utopia looked great on paper, but even 167 years ago someone had to get his hands dirty and put food on the table.

Comptroller says state will not borrow to meet budgetTexas Comptroller Glenn He-

gar on July 7 announced his deci-sion not to go the usual route to in-sure that Texas meets its budgetary obligations.

The state’s chief financial officer explained that every year for the past three decades the state has issued a Tax Revenue Anticipation Note to deal with “periodic mismatches” between revenues and expenditures during the fiscal year and “anticipat-ed mismatches” that result from the state’s providing nearly 50 percent of its payments to local school districts in the first three months of the fiscal year.

According to the Office of the Comptroller, the state will not issue a Tax Revenue Anticipation Note for fiscal 2016 “as a result of strong fund balances, sound fiscal management and conservative budgeting.”

And, Texas will fully repay its current Tax Revenue Anticipation Note ($5.4 billion borrowed last year to bridge budget gaps) on Aug. 31, the last day of the current fiscal year.

State settleswith Farmers

Texas Attorney General Ken Pax-ton on July 6 announced the approval of a settlement with Farmers Insur-ance Group that he said would return $84.4 million to policyholders.

The settlement stems from a 2002 case filed by the Texas Attorney Gen-eral’s Office and the Texas Depart-ment of Insurance.

Paxton said that according to state investigators Farmers deceived consumers and engaged in discrimi-natory practices for a period of five years that in some cases had con-sumers paying excessive amounts for

premiums while having their cover-age reduced without their knowledge.

“People in Texas and across the country need to have confidence in the companies they depend on to in-sure their homes, health and proper-ty,” Paxton said. “Any company that overcharges and deceives its custom-ers out of their hard-earned money must be held accountable and I’m pleased that Texas consumers will fi-nally have closure in this case.”

Under the court order, a settle-ment administrator has been assigned to handle restitution to consumers. Notices about the settlement will be mailed within 60 days to people who may be eligible for a refund, ac-cording to the Office of the Attorney General.

Sales tax revenue decreases

Comptroller Hegar on July 8 said his office would send cities, coun-ties, transit systems and special pur-pose taxing districts their July local sales tax allocations totaling $609.8 million, an amount representing an increase of 1.2 percent compared to July 2014.

Hegar also said state sales tax rev-enue in June was $2.2 billion, down 1.4 percent compared to June 2014.

“This slight decline was expect-ed due to the slowdown in the oil and gas mining sector, and is in line with the biennial revenue estimate presented in January,” Hegar said. “Receipts from the construction, in-formation, restaurant and services sectors continued to grow, however, which is a testament to Texas’ diverse and dynamic economy.”

This marks the first decline in state sales tax revenue following 62 consecutive months of growth.

RRC offerstoll-free number

Texas Railroad Commission on July 6 publicized (844) 773-0305, its new toll-free telephone number for citizens to report emergencies to the oil and gas industry-regulating agency. In announcing the toll-free number, the agency also stressed the importance of calling 911 first in any emergency situation.

Commission staff are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week to answer emergency calls related to oil

and gas exploration and production, intrastate pipelines and alternative fuels, including propane, said David Porter, chair of the commission.

“The new toll-free emergency line at the Commission is intended to provide additional support and make contact with our staff more stream-lined and efficient, both during an event, and as part of any subsequent investigation,” Porter said.

Court rules on flag plate

The U.S. Supreme Court last month ruled 5-4 in favor of the Tex-as Department of Motor Vehicles in a case brought by the Texas Division of Sons of Confederate Veterans.

Plaintiffs sued over the agency’s decision not to adopt a license plate bearing an image of the Confederate battle flag.

Justice Breyer, in writing the majority opinion of the court, said, “Just as Texas cannot require Sons of Confederate Veterans to convey the State’s ideological message . . . Sons of Confederate Veterans cannot force Texas to include a Confederate battle flag on its specialty license plates.”

By Wayne nehring

Burnet, texas

I would like to add my two cents worth concerning the comments made by Matagorda County Judge Nate McDonald and Wharton County Judge Philip Spenrath. Both were men-tioned in the Burnet Bulletin on July 8, 2015.

Wharton County Judge Philip Spenrath re-ferred to the people concerned with running out of water as being selfish unruly spoiled chil-dren who always get their way and will never

be happy or get enough. I would like to point out that the selfish

unruly spoiled children from the rice farming area have historically received water for irri-gation every single year up until the time of the first emergency order. Now those unruly, spoiled children are crying and screaming be-cause the give away is being taken away from them. Water was sold to them at a loss with no consideration given to businesses dependant on the lakes for survival. Now times are different. Millions of people are depending on the water in the lakes for survival and have finally figured out that if they don’t stand up for themselves, no one will. It is an added bonus that protection of the water supply also protects Central Texas businesses—and not just the ones directly de-pendant on the lake levels.

The bleeding may have stopped due to the emergency orders, but the lakes have not ful-ly recovered. One year of releasing massive amounts of water for rice farming could put the lakes right back into the condition they were in during the last few years. The lakes should NEVER be allowed to fall to a level that would jeopardize the water supply when the next mul-

tiple year drought strikes—not for the sake of rice farming.

There is no sure fire way to predict when this drought will end or when the next one will start. That’s right; the drought may not be over. We may be in a wet year of a drought that will last another 15 or 20 years or more. If the lakes do recover fully, rice farmers must be required to pay a rate for water more in line with the times and all distribution costs including the ca-nal repairs Mr Gertson spoke of. Water should be made available for irrigation only when nec-essary to provide room for flood control. It is that important to protect the water supply of Central Texas. I pray that the people in high places who can do something about this are lis-tening. Where is common sense?

Protection of our water supply was called an over reaction by Matagorda County Judge Nate McDonald. I would like to see what his reac-tion would be if the residential water supply of Matagorda County was at risk. Not a problem for them because they have plenty of ground water, so he just doesn’t understand. When it comes to protection of our water supply, there is no such thing as over reaction.

Editor’s Note: The following is a response to an article that ran both in the July 7 edi-tion of The Highlander and the July 8 edition of the Burnet Bulletin, regarding the relief of local Highland Lakes water activists following a Texas Commission on Environmental Qual-ity (TCEQ) decision to extend an emergency order keeping water in the lakes through a re-cord-breaking drought.

Even though lower-basin rice farmers, who have relied on the release of lake waters for their survival in the past admitted they didnt’ need the water at this time and, in fact, some of the canal systems used to divert water to needed areas weren’t even ready to receive such a release, others in the lower-basin were not pleased to hear about the emergency order extension.

Matagorda County Judge Nate McDonald was reported to have said: ‘I just see it as an-other overreaction by our friends living on the shores of the reservoirs,” while Wharton Coun-ty Judge Phhilip Spenrath was quoted as say-ing that no emergency exists now that the lakes have gained water “and yet we still have people

crying emergency.”Spenrath continued:“The current water sit-

uation is much like dealing with a selfish unruly child who always gets their way and will never be happy or get enough. The reservoirs are at or above normal capacity and the child is still crying wolf and yelling for more. At some point the child needs to be spanked and told ‘No!’”

Priscilla Mae Allen Holt March 21, 1933~June 27, 2015

Mrs. Priscilla Holt went to be with the Lord on Saturday, June 27, 2015, from the con-sequences of a fall.

Born in New Bedford, Massachusetts, Priscilla grew up in and always loved New England.

She worked as a telephone operator, then paid her own way through Aurora College in Aurora Illinois by working in a pharmacy, including working as a soda jerk.

After graduation with a degree in elementary educa-tion, she taught elementary school for seven years in Illinois prior to her marriage.

She met the tall, dark, handsome man of her dreams when both were camp counselors at a summer camp.

They had both attended Aurora College, where they had seen each other, but had not really met.

When they moved to Clear Lake City, Texas, Priscilla joined Women’s Aglow and was very active in women’s Bible studies and at church.

She also gave generously to support many charities. After inheriting her mother’s collection of dolls from

around the world, she began to collect dolls and had nearly 800 of them.

Priscilla was fond of arts and crafts and took painting classes.

She moved from larger paintings to miniatures as it became more physically difficult for her to paint.

She opened her own business selling unique, handmade greeting cards.

The business was called “His Touch in Mine”, inspired by her faith in Jesus Christ.

Many people were amazed that she could do these crafts despite the rheumatoid arthritis that had crippled her hands.

She was diagnosed with arthritis at the age of 30 that gradually made all physical activity painful. She bravely faced multiple surgeries and the pain that made daily tasks difficult, while making a loving home for her husband and daughter.

After her husband’s retirement, the couple moved to Burnet where they built a beautiful lake-side home which was designed with special accessibility features to help her get around, including an elevator.

She always enjoyed music and sang in the choir at First Christian Church in Burnet for several years.

She was always smiling, even to the last. Priscilla is survived by her husband of 52 years, Henry;

their daughter, Pamela, and a sister, Grace. Condolences may be offered to www.clementswilcox-

Jesse De Zavala Higginbotham Sr. March 4, 1912~July 5, 2015

Jesse De Zavala Higginbotham, Sr., 103, of Burnet was born to Penelope Gertrude and Caleb Joshua Higginbotham in Harris County, Texas, on March 4, 1912.

He passed away at the Oaks Nursing Center in Burnet on Sunday, July 5, 2015.

A funeral service was held on Tuesday, July 7, at the Edgar and Jenkins Family Funeral Home. Internment followed at the Mahomet Cemetery in Mahomet.

Jess grew up in the La Porte area and was first employed by Humble Oil, Co.

He also worked as a car salesperson at the Higginbotham Motor Company in Baytown, Texas where he raised his sons.

After retirement, Jess moved with his wife Maurine to Burnet, where they lived in a house on Lake Buchanan.

They enjoyed playing golf and traveling across the United States in a series of ever-larger recreational vehicles, but what they loved best was to sit on their yellow porch swing and look out at the lake.

Jess was a very special man. He was intelligent, loyal, curious, and funny. He will be missed by all who loved him. He was preceded in death by his wife, Maurine

Higginbotham, and by his sons, Jesse Higginbotham, Jr. and Patrick Louis Higginbotham.

Jess is survived by five granddaughters; 11 great-grand-children; four great-great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

Wheels leaders said. The grant was made possi-

ble by Subaru of America, Inc. and its 7th annual Share the Love event. During the sales event, Subaru donated $250 to the buyer’s choice of participat-ing charities for every new vehi-cle purchased or leased.

In total, $370,250 will be granted to 258 local Meals on Wheels programs and two Meals on Wheels America-affiliated State Associations based on their March for Meals efforts. Within Williamson and Burnet Counties, the grant money will go toward “meeting the ongoing needs of local sen-iors as well as to promoting awareness for the services Meals on Wheels on Williamson and Burnet County offer.”

“The March for Meals grant program is our way of recogniz-ing local programs for bolster-ing the dynamic and effective partnership between Meals on Wheels and the businesses, organizations, governments and volunteers who provide critical support within their communi-ties,” said Meals on Wheels America President and CEO Ellie Hollander. “In 2014, Meals on Wheels of Williamson and Burnet County served more than 144,000 meals through its home deliveries and neighbor-hood centers throughout Williamson and Burnet Counties. Meals on Wheels of Williamson and Burnet County serves hot, freshly-prepared, nutritious meals that are made

by chefs in local kitchens in the communities that they serve, to ensure that seniors receive the quality food that they deserve.

Meals on Wheels of Williamson and Burnet County provides meals that are delivered by caring, community volunteers who are more than just drivers; they often help with other needs that seniors may have.

Meals on Wheels of Williamson and Burnet County does not just provide the United States Recommended Daily Allowance (USRDA) through nutrition, but it also provides social and community connec-tions. The mission of Meals on Wheels of Williamson and Burnet County is to empower seniors through community connections to maintain quality independent living and healthy nutrition.

Meals on Wheels America is the oldest and largest national organization supporting the more than 5,000 community-based programs across the coun-try that are dedicated to address-ing senior isolation and hunger.

This network exists in virtu-ally every community in America and, along with more than two million staff and vol-unteers, delivers the nutritious meals, friendly visits and safety checks that enable America’s seniors to live nourished lives with independence and dignity.

By providing funding, leader-ship, education, research and advocacy support, Meals on Wheels America empowers its local member programs to strengthen their communities, one senior at a time. For more infor-mation, or to find a Meals on Wheels provider near you, visit www.mealsonwheelsamerica.org.

She has served in other edu-cational capacities, including teaching agriculture at Little River Academy in Bell County and a fifth grade class at Florence Elementary.

“We are very happy to make this announcement naming Kelly to this key position,” said District 7 Director Marty Gibbs.

“She has a rich background in youth educational activities relating to agriculture. This skill set, along with her adult pro-gramming skills, should pave

Tarla completed a modified version of AgriLife Extension’s First Step orientation program in Lampasas, Llano and Bell counties before assuming her permanent duties on Wednesday, July 15.

Tarla said she feels very comfortable in her new role with the extension service.

“I like the roots behind it,” she said. “Everybody has been so welcoming. They’ve all been will-ing to help however they can.”

McBurnett said the district would miss Blizzard.

What Happens to My IRA After I’m

Gone?

Grayson V Jaynes SrFinancial Advisor

113 East Jackson St.• Burnet512-756-7997

Contributing to an IRA can help you build some of the resources you will need to enjoy a comfortable retire-ment. But what happens to your IRA if you don’t use it up in your lifetime?

You can still put the IRA’s assets to good use — as long as you’ve made the right moves and commu-nicated your wishes clearly to your family.

When you opened your IRA, you should have named a beneficiary — someone who will receive the IRA assets when you pass away. You could also name a contingent beneficiary if the first beneficiary dies before you. These beneficiary designations are important because they can supersede the instructions left in your will.

If you name your spouse as ben-eficiary of your IRA, he or she has options unavailable to other ben-eficiaries. Here are two possibilities:

• Roll over assets into a new or an existing IRA — Your surviving spouse can roll over your IRA’s as-sets into his or her IRA or use the money to create a new IRA. And, as long as your spouse is eligible, he or she can then add new contributions to the IRA. This could be a good choice if your spouse won’t need the money right away and would like to keep it in a tax-advantaged account for as long as possible. Upon reaching age 70½, though, your spouse will likely need to start taking withdrawals (“required mini-mum distributions”), unless the in-herited IRA was a Roth IRA.• Convert the assets to a Roth IRA — If you are leaving a traditional IRA to your spouse, he or she could roll over the assets into a new or an existing IRA and then convert the assets into a Roth IRA. This move gives your spouse at least two po-tential advantages. First, if certain requirements are met, no taxes are due on the withdrawals. Second, as

mentioned above, no withdrawals are even required — your spouse can leave the money intact for as long as desired. However, taxes will be due on the amount converted to a Roth, so this conversion may only make sense if your spouse has enough assets available in a nonre-tirement account to pay the tax bill. Thus far, we’ve just talked about your spouse as the beneficiary. But what might happen if you’ve named someone else — perhaps a child or grandchild — as the primary ben-eficiary of your IRA? In this case, the beneficiary won’t have the option of rolling over the IRA. Instead, he or she can either take the money as a lump sum or take distributions over time. If you pass away before age 70½, and you hadn’t started taking the required minimum dis-tributions, your beneficiary must start taking withdrawals by Dec. 31 in the year following the year in which you pass away. These with-drawals can be stretched out over your beneficiary’s lifetime, though, spreading out the tax obligations. As an alternative, your beneficiary can delay taking distributions, but he or she would need to withdraw all the money within five years of your death.

When dealing with any aspect of your estate plans, including nam-ing beneficiaries for your IRA, you’ll want to consult with your tax and legal professionals. You put a lot of time and effort into building the assets in your IRA — so you’ll also want to take care in how you pass these assets along.

TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

NOTICE OF AN APPLICATION TOAMEND THE LCRA WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN

AND PUBLIC MEETING

APPLICATION NO. 5838A

SUMMARY. Lower Colorado River Authority has applied for an amendment to its Water Management Plan. More information on the application and how to participate in the permitting process is given below.

PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) will hold a public meeting to receive written and oral comments on the application to amend the Water Management Plan filed by the Lower Colorado River Authority. The public meeting will consist of two parts, an Informal Discussion Period and a Formal Comment Period. During the Informal Discussion Period, the public is encouraged to ask questions of the Applicant and TCEQ staff concerning the application, but comments made during the informal period will not be considered by the Commissioners before reaching a decision on the application and no formal response will be made. During the Formal Comment Period, members of the public may state their comments into the official record. The Executive Director will summarize the formal comments and prepare a written response. The written response will be considered by the Commissioners in their decision-making process and upon request will be available to the public.

Public Meeting for Informal Discussion andFormal Comment is to be held:

Monday, July 20, 2015 at 7:00pm

TCEQ12100 Park 35 Circle

Building E, Room 201SAustin, Texas 78753

Members of the public who attend the public meeting are encouraged to submit written comments anytime during the meeting or by mail before the meeting. These comments may be sent to the Office of the Chief Clerk, TCEQ, MC 105, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas, 78711-3087. If you need more information, please call the TCEQ Public Education Program, Toll Free at 1-800-687-4040.

APPLICATION. Lower Colorado River Authority (Applicant or LCRA), P.O. Box 220, R325, Austin, Texas, 78767, seeks an amendment to its Water Management Plan pursuant to Texas Water Code § 11.122 and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Rules 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) § 295.1, et seq. Mailed and published notice of the application is being given to the water right holders of record in the Colorado River Basin pursuant to Title 30 TAC § 295.158.

The Water Management Plan (WMP) for the Lower Colorado Basin defines LCRA’s water management programs and policies in accordance with the Final Order of Adjudication of the water rights for the Lower Colorado River Authority; the Enabling Act of the Lower Colorado River Authority; General Law of the State of Texas, particularly the Texas Water Code; LCRA’s Certificates of Adjudication Nos. 14-5478 and 14-5482, as amended; the Commission’s Orders concerning the WMP; and the water policies of the Lower Colorado River Authority’s Board of Directors.

LCRA’s Application No. 5838A to amend the WMP was received by the Commission on March 12, 2012, and was declared administratively complete on April 19, 2012. Technical review was completed in November 2012 and the application was sent to notice and the comment period ended on May 28, 2013. On June 3, 2013, based on public comment and the ongoing drought conditions, the Executive Director determined that further evaluation of LCRA’s application was necessary. In May 2014, after review of more recent severe drought data, the Executive Director’s staff issued a draft report with recommendations related to the curtailment of interruptible stored water. On October 31, 2014, LCRA submitted a revised and supplemental application to amend its WMP that was intended to replace the 2012 WMP application.

Revisions to the WMP were last approved by the Commission on January 27, 2010. This order approving the previous amendment to the WMP required LCRA to file another amendment to address the following:

a. Interruptible curtailment procedures to ensure LCRA can satisfy projected firm customer demands during intense drought

conditions such as those experienced over the past several decades;b. Evaluation of the criteria for determining a drought worse than the

Drought of Record;c. Evaluation of the minimum combined storage in Lake Travis and

Buchanan that would be necessary or appropriate to protect firm water customers either during a repeat of the Drought of Record or under worse conditions;

d. Incorporation of changes to address LCRA’s agreements with STP Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC);

e. LCRA’s 2007 agreement with the City of Austin regarding return flows in the lower Colorado River; andf) Revisions to LCRA’s procedures for providing water for environmental flows using the best scientific data available including provisions to accommodate changing conditions within a year, limiting harmful intra-daily fluctuations in streamflows, and, to the maximum extent reasonable, specification of an overall instream flow regime.

LCRA engaged in an extensive stakeholder process to develop proposed amendments to the WMP. LCRA’s proposed substantive revisions to the WMP under this amendment fall within three areas: 1) Interruptible Stored Water Availability; 2) a new determination of the combined firm yield; and 3) new environmental flow criteria based on the most recent scientific studies and implementation of those criteria.

LCRA proposes to revise the annual interruptible water supply curtailment policy described in Chapter 4 of the WMP. The curtailment policy includes the following:

Interruptible Water Users:

a. LCRA will determine availability of Interruptible Stored Water for its Gulf Coast, Lakeside operations and Pierce Ranch separately for the first and second (ratoon) crops and apply volumetric limits on the availability of Interruptible Stored Water for each crop season. (WMP Section 4.3.2.)

b. The amounts of Interruptible Stored Water for LCRA’s Gulf Coast and Lakeside agricultural operations, and Pierce Ranch will be determined taking into consideration what Water Supply Condition is in effect: “Normal”, “Less Severe Drought”, or “Extraordinary Drought”. (WMP Section 4.3.2.)

c. The Water Supply Condition will be evaluated on March 1 and July 1 (Evaluation Dates), taking into account inflows and the combined storage of Lakes Buchanan and Travis. (WMP Section 4.2.)

d. The Normal condition will be in effect if:

i. Neither the Less Severe Drought condition nor the Extraordinary Drought condition were in effect for the period prior to the Evaluation Date, and on the Evaluation Date neither the criteria for entering Less Severe Drought or Extraordinary Drought are met; or

ii. The Less Severe Drought or Extraordinary Drought condition was in effect for the period prior to the Evaluation Date and the criteria for lifting Less Severe Drought is met on the Evaluation Date. (WMP Section 4.2.2.)

e. The Less Severe Drought conditions will be in effect if:

i. Combined storage in Lakes Buchanan and Travis is below 1,600,000 acre-feet and cumulative inflows into the lakes for the three months preceding the Evaluation Date are less than 50,000 acre-feet; or

ii. Combined storage in Lakes Buchanan and Travis is below 1,400,000 acre-feet and cumulative inflows into the lakes for the three months preceding the Evaluation Date are less than the 33rd percentile of inflows to the lakes for that three month period. The 33rd percentile will be based on United States Geological Survey streamflow data. (WMP Section 4.2.3.1.)

f. The Less Severe Drought condition is also entered upon exiting the Extraordinary Drought condition, unless, the criteria for exiting Less Severe Drought condition is also met on the Evaluation Date. (WMP Section 4.2.3.1.)

g. The Less Severe Drought condition will no longer be in effect if:

i. Combined storage in Lakes Buchanan and Travis has been above 1,600,000 acre-feet for one or more days during the period preceding the Evaluation Date and neither of the criteria for entering a Less Severe Drought condition is met on the Evaluation Date; or

ii. Combined storage in Lakes Buchanan and Travis has been above 1,400,000 acre-feet for one or more days during the period preceding the Evaluation Date, cumulative inflows to the lakes for the preceding three months are at or above the 50th percentile of inflows for that three month period, and neither of the criteria for entering Less Severe Drought are met on the Evaluation Date. The 50th percentile will be based on United States Geological Survey streamflow data. (WMP Section 4.2.3.2.)

h. Extraordinary Drought will be in effect if:

i. Combined storage in Lakes Buchanan and Travis is below 1,300,000 acre-feet on the Evaluation Date; and

ii. Drought duration is at least 24 months; andiii. The inflow intensity test for a declaration of a Drought Worse

than the Drought of Record is met. (WMP Section 4.2.4.1.)

i. Extraordinary Drought remains in effect until:

i. Combined storage in Lakes Buchanan and Travis has been above

PUBLIC NOTICES PUBLIC NOTICES PUBLIC NOTICES PUBLIC NOTICES PUBLIC NOTICES PUBLIC NOTICES PUBLIC NOTICES PUBLIC NOTICES

1,300,000 acre-feet for one or more days during the period preceding the Evaluation Date; and

ii. The criteria for entering Extraordinary Drought are not met on the Evaluation Date. (WMP Section 4.2.4.2.)

j. Under Normal conditions, the total amount of interruptible stored water to be made available for diversion at the Gulf Coast, Lakeside and Pierce Ranch irrigation operations is as follows:

feet – a sliding scale from 202,000 acre-feet at 1,299,999 acre-feet of combined storage to 121,500 acre-feet at 1,000,000 acre-feet of combined storage; and

Below 1,000,000 acre-feet, no water except for Garwood irrigation operation consistent with prior contracts between Garwood and LCRA.

2. Second Cropa. For combined storage of 1,550,000 or more – 76,500 acre-feet;b. For combined storage between 1,549,999 acre-feet and

1,000,000 acre-feet – a sliding scale from 59,500 acre-feet at 1,549,999 acre-feet of combined storage to 46,000 acre-feet at 1,000,000 acre-feet of combined storage; and

c. Below 1,000,000 acre-feet no water except for Garwood irrigation operation consistent with prior contracts between Garwood and LCRA. (WMP Section 4.3.2.1.)

k. During Normal conditions, if the combined storage in Lakes Buchanan and Travis falls below 900,000 acre-feet at any time during either the first or second crop season, all releases of Interruptible Stored Water to Gulf Coast, Lakeside and Pierce Ranch will be cut off for the remainder of the crop season. (WMP Section 4.2.3.1.)

l. Under Less Severe conditions, the total amount of interruptible stored water to be made available for diversion at the Gulf Coast, Lakeside and Pierce Ranch irrigation operations is as follows:

i. First Cropa. For combined storage of 1,500,000 to 1,599,999 acre-feet–

155,000 acre-feet;b. For combined storage between 1,400,000 and 1,499,999 acre-

feet – 145,000 acre-feet; c. For combined storage between 1,300,000 and 1,399,999 acre-

feet – 130,000 acre-feet; d. For combined storage between 1,200,000 and 1,299,999 acre-

feet – 115,000 acre-feet; e. For combined storage between 1,100,000 and 1,199,999 acre-

feet – 100,000 acre-feet; andf. Below 1,100,000 acre-feet, no water except for Garwood

irrigation operation consistent with prior contracts between Garwood and LCRA.

ii. Second Cropa. For combined storage of 1,400,000 to 1,599,999 acre-feet –

55,000 acre-feet;b. For combined storage between 1,100,000 acre-feet and

1,399,999 acre-feet – 46,000; andc. Below 1,100,000 acre-feet no water except for Garwood

irrigation operation consistent with prior contracts between Garwood and LCRA. (WMP Section 4.3.2.2.)

m. During Less Severe Drought conditions, if the combined storage in Lakes Buchanan and Travis falls below 950,000 acre-feet at any time during either the first or second crop season, all releases of Interruptible Stored Water to Gulf Coast, Lakeside and Pierce Ranch will be cut off for the remainder of the crop season. (WMP Section 4.3.2.2.)

n. If releases of Interruptible Stored Water to Gulf Coast, Lakeside and Pierce Ranch are cut off in the middle of a crop season, LCRA will not provide any pass-through run-of-river water that originates upstream of Lake Travis under LCRA’s water rights that were historically associated with the Gulf Coast, Lakeside, and Pierce Ranch operations unless and until the combined storage in Lakes Buchanan and Travis is above 1,300,000 acre-feet. If combined storage remains above 1,300,000 acre-feet during the remainder of the crop season, LCRA will make these Pass-Through run-of-river supplies available limited to the amount needed to finish the crop. (WMP Sections 4.3.2.1 and 4.3.2.2.)

o. If releases of Interruptible Stored Water to Gulf Coast, Lakeside and Pierce Ranch for the first crop are cut off for the entire season, releases of interruptible stored water are also cut off for the second crop season. (WMP Sections 4.3.2.1 and 4.3.2.2.)

p. If all available Interruptible Stored Water for Gulf Coast, Lakeside and Pierce Ranch has been diverted for the first crop season, but Interruptible Stored Water for these operations is available for the second crop season, all or part of the Interruptible Stored Water available for the second crop season can be used to finish the first crop season. (WMP Sections 4.3.2.1 and 4.3.2.2.)

q. If Extraordinary Drought conditions are in effect, no Interruptible Stored Water or Pass-Through run-of-river water under LCRA’s water rights historically associated with the Gulf Coast, Lakeside and Pierce Ranch operations will be made available for diversion within those operations. (WMP Section 4.3.2.3.)

r. Interruptible stored water may be available in the Garwood irrigation operation for storage levels lower than indicated in the curtailment curves based on prior contracts between Garwood and LCRA. (WMP Sections 4.3.2.1, 4.3.2.2 and 4.3.2.3.)

s. The amount of water available for Gulf Coast, Lakeside and Pierce Ranch will be based on the water supply condition combined with a Look-Ahead test. If the LCRA Board determines, under the Look Ahead test, that the release of Interruptible Stored Water under either the Normal condition or Less Severe Drought condition (whichever is in effect) in the upcoming crop season would result in the combined storage in Lakes Buchanan and Travis falling below 600,000 acre-feet in the next twelve months or below 900,000 acre-feet in the upcoming crop season then no Interruptible Stored Water or Pass-Through run-of-river water will be released for Gulf Coast, Lakeside and Pierce Ranch for the upcoming crop season. (WMP Section 4.3.2.4.)

This WMP amendment reduces the amount of interruptible stored water available for customers outside of the four downstream irrigation operations, and eliminates provision of water to such customers after 2018. (WMP Section 4.5.)Firm Yield:

Based on updated modeling using a modified version of the TCEQ’s water availability model (WAM) for the Colorado River Basin, the combined firm yield of Lakes Travis and Buchanan is reduced from 535,812 acre-feet (which includes 90,546 acre-feet of water associated with O.H. Ivie Reservoir) to 434,154 acre-feet (which does not include an amount for O.H. Ivie Reservoir). The combined firm yield was determined based on the average annual amount of water supplied during the critical period. The new combined firm yield is a net reduction of 11,112 acre-feet from the previously calculated combined firm yield. The combined firm yield is subject to change in future WMP revisions. (WMP Section 3.2.)

Instream Flow Needs:

LCRA’s amendment to the WMP includes a change in the procedure for supplying water to help meet instream flow needs at certain locations downstream of Lady Bird Lake and incorporates specific instream flow values based on the most recent scientific studies, and summarized as follows (and is included in WMP Section 4.4.2.):

a. Three levels of instream flows: 1)subsistence; 2)base-dry; and 3)base-average.

b. The amount of water provided for instream flows, i.e. whether subsistence, base-dry, or base-average flow levels would apply, will be determined based on combined storage on March 1st and July 1st.

c. The specific trigger levels for determining which instream flow levels apply on each Evaluation Date are:

i. When the combined storage in Lakes Travis and Buchanan is above 1,960,000 acre-feet, base-average conditions apply;

ii. When the combined storage in Lakes Travis and Buchanan is between 1,900,000 and 1,960,000 acre-feet, base-dry conditions apply; and

iii. When the combined storage in Lakes Travis and Buchanan is less than 1,900,000 acre-feet, subsistence conditions apply.

d. LCRA will make releases from Lakes Buchanan and Travis limited to the daily storable inflows to help meet base-average and base-dry instream flows. In addition to storable inflows, previously stored water will be released as necessary to maintain Subsistence flows at the four streamflow gauging locations identified in Table 4-3 of the WMP.

e. In the event of a pro rata curtailment of firm supplies, the applicable instream flow criteria will be subject to the same percentage curtailment as imposed on LCRA’s firm water customers.

f. For purposes of this amendment to the WMP, the subsistence and base flow criteria for gauges other than the Austin gauge, are daily (or daily average) flow values. The subsistence criteria at Austin represent minimum (or instantaneous) flow requirements.

g. LCRA’s ability to meet the instream flow requirements set forth in the WMP may, in rare instances, be impaired by certain unavoidable constraints such as the capacity of its hydro-generation units and hydro-generation scheduling mandates as well as unforeseen diversions, unforeseen changes in flow conditions downstream, unforeseen or unscheduled operations at Longhorn Dam, and adjustments to the ratings of the applicable gages.

h. For the Bastrop gauge, the following minimum flow requirements apply:

i. During those times when base-average criteria are in effect, the minimum (or instantaneous) flow requirements, subject toavailability of storable inflows, shall be 70 percent of the base-average criteria for the given month.

ii. During those times when base-dry criteria are in effect, the minimum (or instantaneous) flow requirements, subject to availability of storable inflows, shall be 70 percent of the base-dry criteria for the given month.

iii. During those times that subsistence criteria are in effect, releases shall be scheduled such that the minimum flow does not drop

below:

1. 90 percent of the subsistence criteria when the combined storage in Lakes Travis and Buchanan is equal to or greater than 1,400,000 acre-feet; or

2. 80 percent of the subsistence criteria when the combined storage in Lakes Travis and Buchanan is less than 1,400,000 acre-feet.

LCRA is not required to manage water in the lower Colorado River to specifically provide for pulse flows under this amendment to the WMP. However, LCRA will monitor pulse flows during the time period that this amendment to the WMP is in effect to assess whether pulse flows are occurring at the frequency recommended in the 2008 instream flow study of the lower Colorado River. (WMP Section 4.4.2.)

Freshwater Inflow Needs:

LCRA’s amendment to the WMP includes a change in the procedures for supplying water to help meet freshwater inflow needs and the freshwater inflow criteria are based on the most recent scientific studies. (WMP Section 4.4.3.)

a. The freshwater inflow criteria are based upon recent studies as described in Section 2.4.2 of the WMP.

b. The WMP freshwater inflow criteria include five levels of inflow to help meet freshwater inflow needs and are defined using two-month operational criteria, as described in Table 4-6 of the WMP. c. At the end of each month, to the extent storable inflows are available, LCRA will provide storable inflows, if available, as necessary to meet the two-month operational criteria.

d. In May and June, LCRA will determine if the three month spring freshet requirement as described in Table 4-5 of the WMP has been met within the spring period, and, if so, the two-month operational criteria will be reduced to the corresponding amount for the intervening period.

e. In September and October, LCRA will determine if the three month fall freshet requirement as described in Table 4-5 of the WMP has been met within the fall period, and, if so, the two-month operational criteria will be reduced to the corresponding amount for the intervening period.

f. In all months, LCRA will release storable inflows to help meet the Threshold level of 15,000 acre-feet per month, to the extent of storable inflows.

g. The combined storage trigger at which specific freshwater inflow levels apply can be found in Table 4-7 of the WMP.

h. In the event of a pro rata curtailment of firm supplies, the applicable freshwater inflow criteria will be subject to the same percentage curtailment as imposed on LCRA’s firm water customers.

i. Any time releases of Interruptible Stored Water for Gulf Coast, Lakeside and Pierce Ranch are cut off, only the Threshold requirement will be in effect.

j. If releases for Gulf Coast, Lakeside and Pierce Ranch are cut off for the second crop but combined storage in Lakes Buchanan and Travis are above 1,300,000 acre-feet on July 1st, the two-month operational criteria shall be in effect; however, LCRA’s releases of storable inflows to meet the operational criteria will be limited to no more than 50% of the storable inflows remaining after the release of storable inflows for instream flows or Threshold inflow levels, with a maximum release in a single month of 82,000 acre-feet.

k. If combined storage in Lakes Buchanan and Travis falls below 1,000,000 acre-feet at any time, the only criteria in effect from that month through the next Evaluation Date is Threshold.

l. If combined storage in Lakes Buchanan and Travis is below 1,300,000 acre-feet at the end of a month, the maximum release of storable inflows to help meet freshwater inflow criteria is 25,000 acre-feet.

m. When Less Severe Drought conditions are in effect, releases of storable inflows to meet the operational criteria are limited to no more than 50% of the storable inflows remaining after the release of storable inflows for instream flows or Threshold inflow levels, with a maximum release in a single month of 82,000 acre-feet if storage is above 1,300,000 acre-feet at the end of the month and a maximum release for all freshwater inflow criteria of 25,000 acre-feet if storage is below 1,300,000 acre-feet.

n. In certain instances, up to 5,000 acre-feet of storable inflows that are not released in a given month will be carried forward to help meet the Threshold criteria in the immediately following month.

The amount of water available to help meet environmental flow needs is subject to limits to ensure that the actual amounts made available do not exceed the amounts simulated in the development of the 2014 WMP revision for periods when combined storage in Lakes Buchanan and Travis was below 1,300,000 acre-feet on the Evaluation Date. The WMP includes annual and multi-year caps on water for environmental flows in Section 4.4.4 of the WMP.

A Drought Worse than Drought of Record is a drought condition identified by the LCRA Board of Directors pursuant to criteria in the Water Management Plan where an ongoing drought has a real likelihood of becoming a new Drought of Record. A DWDR declaration would trigger action to cut off Interruptible Stored Water and implement mandatory pro rata curtailment of Firm Water demands. The Drought of Record is defined as the worst hydrologic drought for which streamflow records are available and is considered to be the period of time during recorded history with natural hydrologic conditions provided the least amount of water supply. For the Water Management Plan, the Drought of Record is the drought of the 1940s and 50s. (WMP Sections ES-G and 4.7.)

LCRA’s amendment to the WMP includes changes to the criteria and procedures for the declaration and cancellation of a Drought Worse than the Drought of Record as specified in Section 4.7 of the WMP.

LCRA committed 33,440 acre-feet of firm water to environmental needs under the 2010 WMP. That amount is not changed in this amendment.

LCRA’s DCP:

LCRA’s DCP, as required by Commission rules (30 Texas Administrative Code §§ 288.20 et seq.), was approved by the LCRA Board of Directors and submitted to the Commission in June 2010. In December of 2011, the Commission approved LCRA’s Water Curtailment Plan for its firm customers. Under current Commission rules, the DCP must be reviewed and updated as necessary every five years. Consistent with the requirements of Chapter 288, in February, 2012 and May, 2015, the LCRA Board approved modifications to the DCP including changes in drought response measures for firm water customers and changes in the allocation procedures for interruptible water customers. Changes to the LCRA Firm Customer DCP adopted by the Board in May 2015 will become effective upon adoption of this WMP. Further revisions to the Interruptible DCP will be needed to ensure consistency with the amended WMP and prior to LCRA supplying interruptible stored water under the amended WMP. LCRA intends to publish its Interruptible DCP as a stand-alone document, once revised.

The TCEQ Executive Director (ED) has completed the technical review of the application. The ED’s technical analysis of the Water Management Plan evaluated the impacts of this amendment on existing water rights and the environment. The ED’s analysis also considered LCRA’s proposed Look-Ahead Test and time lines for LCRA to file amendments to update its Water Management Plan. The Executive Director has prepared a draft Order Approving Amendments to LCRA’s Water Management Plan. LCRA’s amended Water Management Plan, if granted, will be subject to all findings, conclusions, and conditions contained in the Commission’s Order that is adopted. The application and Executive Director’s draft Order Approving Amendments to LCRA’s Water Management Plan are available for viewing and copying at the Office of the Chief Clerk, 12100 Park 35 Circle, Building F., Austin, TX 78753.

Bulldogs advance to top eight in 7-on-7Burnet’s 7-on-7 foot-

ball team advanced to the final eight of the Division II bracket of the state tournament before losing to even-tual champion Navasota over the weekend in College Station. Sixty-four teams competed in the Division II bracket.

“We played pretty good,’’ said Burnet

receiver Brock Foster. “There were some good plays, but you can’t win them all. We competed hard.’’

The Bulldogs were making their 10th appearance in the last 13 years in the 7-on-7 state tournament.

Burnet went 2-1 in pool play with wins over Hawley, 35-21; and Diboll, 32-19. The lone pool loss was against Argyle, 39-20.

In bracket play, Burnet played solid football led by quarterback Austin Moore and the receiver tandem of Joel Johnson and Foster.

In bracket play in the Division II bracket, the Bulldogs opened with a 39-20 win over Eastland and then dispatched Houston Worthing, 38-22. The Bulldogs fell to Navasota, 55-27.

Some of the standouts for the Bulldogs were receivers Kel Winn, Sterling Galban, Joel Holland and running back Preston Reeves. On defense, linebacker Trent Rockafellow paced the team.

“Rockafellow did a real good job of helping coach up the guys,’’ said coach Earl Foster. “Darius Johnson was held out for an injury, but he did a great job help coach the guys, too. Those two guys really led the team by example.’’

In the finals, Navasota defeated China Spring, 40-39.

China Spring is one of the teams the Bulldogs will have to battle in District 13-4A Division I this season.

In the Division I bracket, Austin Westlake won the title with a 42-34 win over Manvel. The Chaparrals earned their way to the finals with wins over Houston Lamar (20-19), Rowlett (50-20), College Station (42-27) and Lake Travis (33-32).

Members of the Bulldogs team were Austin Moore, Michael Lindley, Preston Reeves, Nathaniel Looney, Brock Foster, Kyle Cavendar, Sterling Galban, Keedrick Hill, Joel Johnson, Peyton Utsey, Kel Winn, Colin McBurnet, Koby Edwards, Hart Krause, Tyler Ford, Drake Hall, Joel Holland, Coleman Posey, Mason Campbell and Trent Rockafellow.

Navasota 40, China Spring 39. The classic game was missing the

nation’s recordholder for touchdown catches, Navasota WR Tren’Davian Dickson. He played only one game in the tournament and spent the final moments of his last 7-on-7 season watching.

Dickson stood on the sidelines due to a slight pain in his hamstring.

“It’s good to see them out there win-ning,” he said of his team.

Dickson said he was especially proud of WR Sammy Blair, a speedster and

Arkansas baseball commit. He kind of went under the radar last

year,” he said, “but since we’ve been lit-tle he’s been great. He’s fast, quick, and he can catch; he’s a really great receiver.”

The 7-on-7 game leaves interpretation of an MVP up to the fans. After his mul-tiple touchdown campaign in the champi-onship game, a gathered consensus would’ve named Blair most valuable.

His efforts put the Rattlers up by two touchdowns with less than 10 minutes to go.

“I was just trying to work my routes and get separation between defenders, but I didn’t know it was going to be that big of a game,” Blair said.

China Spring wide receivers were undeniably big, though, and their height over shorter statured Rattler defenders provided them success deep down the middle. That’s an area of the field Burnet’s 6-3, 180-pound wide out Joel Johnson thrived against Navasota a few games earlier.

“We weren’t too sure what they were going to show us,” Johnson said. “When we saw what we saw, we were like ‘let’s go.’”

Navasota took control late in that game, but “we’re a strong team,” Johnson said of how the Bulldogs fared against the state’s best.

“It really helped us see what Navasota was going to look like because I bet we’re going to see them in the playoffs,” he said about the regular season.

Navasota 7-on-7 coach Travis Pierce said their team has only lost one 7-on-7 game this summer.

Sports briefsCarroll shoots 83

Burnet High School senior Taylor Carroll placed second at the Hyatt Hill Country Resort in San Antonio with a impressive round of 83 last week.

Carroll is currently ranked second in the San Antonio region of STPGA championship tour that encompasses more than 250 golfers in seven regions of the state.

Carroll has four more tournament coming up in the next two weeks and can advance to the STPGA championship tournament later in August.

The championship is Aug. 12-13 at the Woodlands.’

Carroll has finished second in six of the eight tournaments she has competed in this summer.

Carroll was a member of the Burnet High School team that advanced to state in May.

Rodeo this week

The third stop for area rodeos is this week in Marble Falls.

The 59th annual event starts Wednesday with a youth rodeo at the Charley Taylor Arena off US Highway 281 south of Marble Falls.

The open pro event is Friday at Saturday. Gates open 6:30 p.m. both nights and will include stock from the Cadillac Rodeo Company from Mexia.

Events for the rodeos include calf scram-ble, bareback riding, steer wrestling, saddle bronc, calf roping, ladies breakaway, team roping, ladies barrel racing and bull riding.

Other popular events include mutton bustin’ and gentlemen’s steer saddling.

The annual rodeo dance follows the Saturday night competition and will feature entertainer Adam Fears. The admission to the rodeo covers the dance.

Admission for Friday night is $10 per adult and children ages 6-12 get in for $5 on both nights. Saturday’s adult admission is $15.

The Llano and Burnet rodeos were held in June.

When an ant finds a large piece of food, it returns to the nest and enlists other worker ants to help carry the food. On the way back to the nest, the ant leaves a trail of odors as landmarks, so that it can find its way back to the food.

The annual Back to School Breakfast of the Burnet Consol-idated Independent School Dis-trict is inviting local businesses and organizations to sign up by Friday, July 24, to help set the stage.

“Vendor tables will be set up throughout the gymnasium foy-er and cafeteria area so that you can provide handout materials or ‘give-aways’ to share with em-ployees,” said Sharon Schwartz, administrative assistant to the district superintendent. “It will be a great time to meet our staff, talk about your services, and show off your business.

“The Back to School Break-fast has become a true commu-nity-wide event with over 90 vendors participating last year.

Many vendors also provide a door prize to be given away after the event.”

The event for the 2015-2016 school year will be held Friday, Aug. 14, from 7-8:50 a.m. and some 450 district employees, vendors and guests are expected to attend the continental-style breakfast.

“This year’s breakfast is go-ing to be an extra special time for our employees,” said Schwartz. “As you may know, BCISD has been selected as the 2015 H-E-B Excellence in Education Small School District Award Winner. We are going to celebrate the award during the vendor break-fast with fun activities and a ca-tered continental style breakfast.

“We would like to invite you

to join us in greeting our employ-ees for the new school year. We hope each of you will consider making a donation to offset the cost of the breakfast or a dona-tion toward our BCISD Employ-ee Scholarship Fund. Contribu-tors will be recognized.”

CONTRIBUTED/LAKE BUCHANAN

CONSERVATION CORPORATION

In light of a proposed new lake on the upper Colorado River, the Lake Buchanan Conservation Corporation (LBCC) and the Central Texas Water Coalition (CTWC) will host an informational public meeting on July 21 at 7 p.m. at the Hill Country Hall in Bu-chanan Dam.

The Texas Commission on Environ-mental Quality (TCEQ) has received an ap-plication from P.O. and Nancy Leonard to construct and maintain a channel dam and reservoir, with a normal maximum capacity of 1,000-acre-feet (325 million gallons) of water on the Colorado River in Mills and San Saba counties.

That volume of water, say the LBCC and CTWC, would meet the needs of about 4,000 average households.

The proposed dam would be locat-ed about 9.5 miles southwest of the city of Goldthwaite, would rise 20 feet from the riverbed and span about 170 feet. The city of Goldthwaite is supporting the application and could end up operating the actual dam.

Speakers representing the CTWC will provide specifi cs of the application and the possible affects this area may expect to see on area lakes, if the proposal is accepted by the TCEQ. Speakers have also been invited from LCRA and San Saba for a full, informa-tive meeting.

For more information, call Annette Gard-ner at 325-423-9339.
