OFFICIAL G�ND OPENING AUGUST 1ST

SOFT OPENING ON JULY 13TH, 20TH,& 27TH

BY JENNIFER FIERROPicayune Staff

MARBLE FALLS — While some might see junk that needs to be moved and lots that need to be cleared, Greg Mills sees a house. It just needs to be built. Greg Mills, who is the president of the Highland Lakes Habitat for Humanity, already has four lots cho-sen on Avenue M in Marble Falls as the site for three homes. The organization is finalizing the paperwork, but because of the sum-mer heat, building won’t start until the fall, he said. “Once we get the Ts crossed and the Is dotted, we’ll get (the lots) cleaned up,” he said. “There are old structures that are having to be removed. We have plenty of time.” The Highland Lakes group has built 17 homes across the area since 1995. The last home they finished is in Cottonwood Shores and was com-

pleted in February. Two factors determine where the organization will build a home: where there is an available lot and where a partner family wants to live. And it is a partnership, Mills said, that requires families to participate in building homes and making monthly interest-free payments for 20 years. The first home that was built in 1995 is already paid off. “I like it because it’s not a give-away project,” he said. “It meets people’s needs. I can give you charts and graphs and stats that chil-dren who have a home do better in school and life. We’re not just giv-ing people a house. There’s sweat equity. Payments are paid directly to Habitat. That money goes into a revolving fund. It’s a hand up, not a handout.” Typically, building a home requires two to three crews that include three to five people in each with a crew leader and a house leader who oversees all the crews.

Each crew might be assigned an expert who’s responsible for a certain part of the house such as plumbing or electric. And then there are other volun-teers who help families learn the intri-cacies of owning a home, Mills said, such as realizing if there’s something that needs to be fixed then the home-owner has to address it. Many of the families have been renters and might not be used to that kind of responsi-bility, he said. Mills said he is blessed to have many people, including members of the congregation he attends, volun-teer. “It’s pretty amazing and pretty awesome,” he said. It takes between three to four

Habitat for Humanity lays foundation for home ownership, new lifemonths from the time Habitat starts building a home until a family moves in, Mills said. But very few feelings compare to the emotion he gets when a home is finished. “It’s really, really cool when you

hand somebody the keys to a home, when you’ve worked side by side with them, when you have a wife or a girl hug your neck and tell you thank you,” he said with a soft smile. “It melts you down.” [email protected]

SPECIAL TO THE PICAYUNE

LLANO — A hunter education course geared toward novice and young hunters is Aug. 7-8. The two-day course is $15 and offers in-depth coverage of Texas hunting regulations, modern and primitive firearms, safety, ethics and responsible hunting, conservation and wildlife management, wildlife identification, and survival and out-door skills. All materials will be pro-vided. The class is 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Aug. 7 and 8 a.m.-noon Aug 8 at the Llano County Extension Office, 1447 Texas 71 East, Unit E. Students should pro-vide their own lunches; snacks will be available. The Llano 4-H Youth Board is sponsoring the course. All in-state and out-of-state hunt-ers born on or after Sept. 2, 1971, must successfully complete the course for hunter education certification. Students must bring their Social Security cards. Those younger than 18 must have a parent or guardian fill out paperwork at the extension office at 8 a.m. Aug. 7. The minimum age of certification is 9 years old. A temporary hunter education certification card will be issued after successful completion of the course by attending the entire two-day class

and getting at least 70 percent cor-rect on the exam. The instructor will send in the exams for processing, and a permanent card will be mailed to students. You may legally hunt with a valid Texas hunting license and a temporary certification card. Texas law requires hunters: n younger than 9 be accompa-nied by a person at least 17 years old who is licensed to hunt in Texas, has passed a hunter education course or is exempt, is within normal voice range and has proof of certification with him or her while hunting; n ages 9-16 successfully com-plete a hunter education course or be accompanied by a person at least 17 years old who is licensed to hunt in Texas, has passed a hunter education course or is exempt, is within normal voice range and has proof of certifi-cation with him or her while hunting; n ages 17 and older successfully complete a hunter education course. He or she instead may purchase a “Hunter Education Deferral” but must be accompanied by a person at least 17 years old who is licensed to hunt in Texas, has passed a hunt-er education course or is exempt, is within normal voice range and has proof of certification with him or her while hunting. Call the extension office at (325) 247-5159 or email [email protected] by Aug. 2 to attend the course.

So long San Saba River,It’s Been Good Knowing You

The American Rivers headquartered in Washington, D.C. has just designated the historic San Saba River, which rises in the

northwest Hill Country of Texas and feeds the Highland Lakes, as the third most endangered

river in the United States. American Rivers found that totally unregulated and unmetered irrigation, principally in Menard County, has

all but dried up more than 50 miles of the river for months at a time.

With a water crisis in Texas affecting the Highland Lakes and city water supplies, it is unconscionable that authorities are allowing a few commercial irrigators to pump as much

water as they wish, to the point that rivers such as the San Saba no longer flow.

If you believe, as we do, that the TCEQ should act promptly to halt the wasteful draining of our rivers, we ask that you email or call the

TCEQ at [email protected] or (512) 239-2588 and your local State

Representative and Senator and demand that a watermaster system be implemented on the San Saba. More information on the American

Rivers selection can be found atAmericanRivers.org/SanSabaRiver.

KINGSLAND — A nonprofit organization wants to expand a group of volunteers who provide a voice for local children looking to reunite with families or potentially find new homes. Volunteers with Court Appointed Special Advocates for the Highland Lakes Area fulfill that role for more than 200 children in five area coun-ties. “The end result is it would be great for children to go back home, but that doesn’t happen all the time,” said Cindy Turner, a retired teacher, who has been a CASA volunteer since August 2012. “When I retired, I realized that this is a whole avenue that I really never understood — the judicial side of it and how parents get help from the judicial side to try to get their children back into their house.” CASA volunteers are trained and certified to be a liaison between children who are in foster care and the court system as well as various government agencies, healthcare and social resources. “Some of the issues are health issues. I have one baby that has involved working with Dell’s Children Hospital quite a bit,” said Turner, who monitors and reports for four children 3 and younger. “You have to pay attention to the medical needs, the language, how many ser-vices they’re receiving — just keep up with the services.” Parents typically have a year to win back custody or they might opt to relinquish parental rights, Turner said. “There is the issue with drugs,” she said. “That’s a lot of time why the parents have lost the child.” Advocates draw from their own experience and knowledge of families to assist children. “Working with these toddlers, it’s easier for me because I’m a grand-mother,” she said. “I can associate with where they should be in what stages.” CASA needs more volunteers like Turner, according to executive direc-tor Sue Thornton. “We could not do this work with-out these incredible volunteers, who give of their heart and their time and their money. (Advocates) speak to the judge directly about what is in (a child’s) best interest.” The first step is a training ses-sion starting Aug. 6 that involves 30 hours of instruction specializing in legal-system procedures, family-re-sources information and childhood psychology and three hours of court-room time for nearly three weeks. “It’s been rewarding to see the children from the time they were taken (out of a household), to see them lovingly being supported,” Turner said. “With all of that I have learned we do need more advocates for the children.” For more information about applying for the training session, email [email protected] or call (325) 388-3440.

And with the second pregnancy, more weight came. “I probably gained 80 to 90 pounds since college,” Matula said. Her weight climbed to an all-time high of 259 pounds. She knew it wasn’t what she wanted for her life, but Matula struggled. Matula tried to lose weight and get back into shape. After her son’s birth, Matula tried a couch-to-5-kilometer-run program. It’s designed to ease a person into running who, well, has spent a lot more time on the couch than in his or her running shoes. Matula set the goal and accomplished it. Unfortunately, her return to fitness faltered after the 5K event. “I didn’t have any goal beyond it,” Matula said. “There was nothing to keep me going.” While she gained weight, nobody criticized her. Her husband and par-ents just loved her. There were not comments and even subtle hints about losing weight. Well, except from her daughter. “The honesty of a child,” Matula said with a grin. In school, the girl was learning about fitness and healthy eating. At home, Kamyrn questioned her mom’s weight. “She’d say things like, ‘When are you going to be fit again?’” Matula recalled. Finally, after her 34th birthday,

Matula decided enough was enough. “I just didn’t want to be heavy anymore,” she said. She set a goal: to lose 100 pounds by her 35th birthday. That big goal served up big moti-vation. But reaching the 100-pound mark would require small steps. At first, Matula focused on her diet. It wasn’t easy, though. A self-described sugar addict, Matula battled every day with her diet. But as she adjusted her food, both in quality and quantity, the weight started coming off. By January, despite the tempta-tions of the holiday season, Matula was on the road back to her former fit self. However, she realized diet alone wasn’t going to get her to the 100-pound mark or return her to her more fit persona. Somebody told her about a weight-loss competition at Mad Dawg Fitness in Burnet. At the time, Matula wasn’t a gym member anywhere or really working out. On Jan. 29, Matula walked into Mad Dawg Fitness and started what could be considered the second phase of her comeback. Matula’s competitive nature pushed her through the grueling daily workouts. The style of work-outs incorporated by trainers Sonny Wilson and Greg Lopez mixed things up just about every day. At the end of the competition, Matula had dropped a significant amount of weight, good enough for second place.

Probably just as important, and maybe even more so, Matula estab-lished another lifestyle change. Where she had already adapted to a new diet, now she created a habit of working out. After the weight-loss competition, Matula stayed with Mad Dawg Fitness and continued under the tutelage of Wilson and Lopez. In May, Matula ran the Beach to Bay run in Corpus Christi. She com-pleted it. But one of her happiest moments came after the race when somebody snapped a photo of her and her daughter together. As of mid-June, Matula still hadn’t reached the 100-pound mark. But she had lost 80 pounds. “It’s definitely changed my life,” she said. Matula understands the struggles of being heavy and trying to lose weight. “For me, having a goal is import-ant,” she said. “It gives me something to work toward. I think some of the best advice I’d give is never give up. If you do fall off the track, don’t think it’s going to be the end. We’re human.” She also recommended if a person wants to lose weight or get into shape, he or she should do it for the right reasons. And that doesn’t necessarily mean pleasing somebody else. “You have to want to do if for yourself,” Matula said. Go to DailyTrib.com for more on Matula’s transformation. [email protected]

show to the 2013 Marble Falls Rodeo on July 19-20 at the Charley Taylor Arena, located south of Marble Falls at 3053 U.S. 281. The gates open at 6

p.m. each day with the rodeo cranking up at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and younger. Duke’s show, a specialty act scheduled between some of the rodeo events, will feature her putting herself in precarious positions on one of her horses while galloping around the arena. One of the most challenging stunts during the six-minute show is called the full-shoulder stand. “It’s typically only done by men because it requires so much upper-body strength,” Duke said. “But, right now, I’m the only one, male or female, out there doing it.” During the stunt, Duke basically does a full handstand on the neck of her horse. “The only part of my body touch-ing the horse is my shoulder,” she explained. “I’ll stay in that position all the way around the arena.” The Marble Falls Rodeo includes a full slate of rodeo competitions, including bull riding and barrel rac-ing. Stock contractor Cadillac Rodeo Co. rolls into Marble Falls on a leg of their “The Party’s Not Over Tour.” Legendary barrel man and bull-fighter Leon Coffee will again enter-tain the crowd. “This is the second year Leon’s been here, and he just does an incred-ible job in the arena,” said Mike Dyer, a member of the Marble Falls Rodeo Association. “People who follow rodeo know who Leon is, and he’s worth coming out to see.” The first Marble Falls Rodeo was held in 1957. At the time, the arena was located in town on Avenue N near the railroad-track crossing. It stayed there until 1974, when the then-landowner dropped the rodeo association’s lease, forcing the group to relocate the facility to its current location. But this year marks the rodeo’s return to “in” the city. Though the arena is still located south of the main part of town on U.S. 281, city officials annexed the property on which the arena sits. “This is the first time in about 40

years we’ll be in the city limits,” Dyer said. But it doesn’t change the top-qual-ity rodeo organizers are planning. Along with the rodeo events, fans can get in on the competition. Youth can participate in mutton bustin’ and the calf scramble. Adults looking to get in the arena might want to sign up for gentlemen’s steer saddling. During this wild and wacky event, a team of three people try to saddle an unridden steer. Once they saddle the beast, one of the team members climbs aboard while the other two try to lead the steer across a finish line several yards away. It doesn’t always go as well as contestants plan. “It’s pretty basic. Three people, one in the saddle and two pulling,” Dyer said. “But, sometimes, they’re chasing (the steer), and sometimes, they’re riding below it.” If you want to see a great connec-tion between rider and horse, check out Duke’s performance. She’ll be bringing three of her horses and a sec-ond rider. One of the horses, Dollar, is a rescued wild mustang. “I’m blessed to have some great trick horses,” Duke said. “I take care of them, and they take care of me.” With more than a thousand perfor-mances behind her, Duke knows how to wow the crowd and keep them on the edge of their seats. “I’m looking forward to getting to Marble Falls and entertaining the fans,” Duke said. “I love performing, and I love getting the crowd into the show.” The Marble Falls Youth Rodeo, open to youth from Burnet County and surrounding counties, is July 17 at the Charley Taylor Arena. The event starts at 7 p.m. Admission is free. Go to www.marblefallsrodeo.org for more information. [email protected]

FROM STAFF REPORTS

MARBLE FALLS — The Marble Falls Noon Lions Club has a new “Boss Lion” leading the organization. During a recent installation ban-quet, new president Estela Selby accepted the “Mexican Hat” from outgoing president Art Strickland. The hat became a club tradition in the 1990s. A member brought the hat to a meeting and asked the club president to wear it. Since then, the outgoing president has passed the hat to the incoming president every year. This year marks the 29th year for the Marble Falls club. In that time, the organization has donated more than $700,000 to the community for local projects and nonprofit organi-zations. Sebly told club members she plans to continue fulfilling the Lions’ motto: “We serve.” Along with Selby, the new offi-cers include vice president Euclid Phipps, secretary Dale Pickens, trea-surer Margie Phipps, tail twister Bill Lehr, membership chairman Bob Goodwin and directors Bud Lowry and Strickland.

COTTONWOOD SHORES — Have you ever dreamed of standing in the spotlight while people applauded your acting performance? Or maybe you used to do a little acting (after all, you played Linus in “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown’ in middle school), and you’ve been looking for a way back into it? Or maybe you just want to break up your routine and try something new. Well, the Hill Country Community Theatre wants you to come by July 22-23 to audition for its upcoming production, “The Dixie Swim Club,” which hits the stage Sept. 19-29. The auditions are 6:30 p.m. each night at the theater, 4003 RR 1431 West. “If you enjoyed ‘Southern Hospitality’, this is like that,” said Steve Reily, the theater’s managing director.

The same team that came up with “Southern Hospitality” and “Christmas Belles” came up with “The Dixie Swim Club.” The play tells the tale of five Southern women who met years before on a college swim team. Over the course of their lives, the friends set aside a week-end each August to gather at the same beach cottage on North Carolina’s Outer Banks. So just imagine pouring five long-time friends into the same cottage for several days, letting them talk about whatever they want (husbands, their kids, their hopes and dreams and, of course, each other) and sitting back and seeing what happens. The play doesn’t focus on just one weekend getaway but several of them spread out over many decades. While auditioning can seem intim-idating, Reily said everybody is invit-ed to take a chance on acting. But, he pointed out, each play has different needs as far as casting.

Still, the chance of stepping into the spotlight might be worth it. “We work hard, but it’s a lot of fun,” he said. Typically, rehearsals last for about 10 weeks before the performances. But the theater isn’t reserved for just actors or those who enjoy the spotlight. A lot of work goes on behind the scenes to ensure each per-formance is top notch. “We only have two paid employ-ees — one full time and one part time,” Reily said. “So we rely tre-mendously on volunteers.” Volunteering at the theater can include helping build scenes, running the lights, taking tickets and selling concessions. “There are a lot of things people can help with,” Reily said. “We couldn’t survive without our volunteers.” For information on auditioning or volunteering, call (830) 693-2474 or (830) 798-8944.

MARBLE FALLS — All great things come in threes. At least that’s what triathletes might think when it comes to their sport. Triathlons feature swimming, bik-ing and running all mashed together into one competition. And hundreds of competitors will descend upon Marble Falls on July 21 for one of the best ven-ues in the state for triathlons. “In all the feedback we get back, the athletes keep telling us they love this venue,” said Marble Falls Triathlon founder and race director Mario Gonzales. “It’s not an easy course by any means with the hills out on (Texas) 71. But the competitors just love it.” The Marble Falls Triathlon marks its 13th anniversary this year. Gonzales, a city of Austin firefighter and longtime athlete, first thought of hosting a triath-lon when he and his family moved to Marble Falls more than a decade ago. As he drove north on U.S. 281, came over the hill south of town and started across the Lake Marble Falls bridge, Gonzales saw great place to stage a triathlon. For the first 11 years, Gonzales stuck with one triathlon distance, called an intermediate: a one-kilometer swim in Lake Marble Falls followed by a 23-mile bike ride and capped off with a 4.4-mile run. The distance, though challenging, drew hundreds of compet-itors each year. But with the rise of the “sprint” triathlon in the sport, Gonzales added one to the Marble Falls event last year. This race features a 500-meter swim, a 12-mile bike ride and a two-mile run. The competitors start at 7 a.m. with the intermediate distance with the sprint athletes hitting the water at 7:30 a.m. The sprint distance fits within the inter-mediate race. “It’s like having a race within a race,” Gonzales said. The sprint distance has opened up triathlons to people who might other-wise steer clear of the three-discipline sport. Gonzales said training for longer races requires quite a bit of time. But shorter-distance training fits in better

with the average person’s schedule. “We’ve seen an explosion in the number of people competing in triath-lons, and I think it’s because they’re realizing they have the time to train for some of these sprint events,” Gonzales said. “They still have to train, but it doesn’t require the time commitment longer events do.” Gonzales fielded requests for sev-eral years about shortening the Marble Falls Triathlon distance, but he stuck with the intermediate distance. “We set out to be one that challenges people, but not to overchallenge them,” he said. “But it is a tough course. It’s probably not something you’d want to do for your first race, though we do get some first-time triathletes.” The sprint distance inclusion allows for athletes new to triathlons to test their meddle without overdoing it but keeps the course challenging for more expe-rienced competitors. Gonzales said he expects between 350 and 400 competitors for the 2013 event. The triathlon starts at Lakeside Park on Buena Vista Drive. Athletes complete the swim before heading out on their bicycles. The bike ride takes competitors south on U.S. 281 before going on Texas 71. They return to Lakeside Park to complete the run. During the run, competitors head through Johnson Park and the Pecan Valley neighborhood before finishing in Lakeside Park. The triathlon usual-ly wraps up before noon. The course doesn’t require any traffic shutdowns, but organizers do ask that motorists be aware of bike traffic on 281 and 71 as well as runners in the Pecan Valley neighborhood. Despite the summer heat, Gonzales said popularity for the Marble Falls Triathlon remains strong. “It’s probably one of the longest running triathlons in Texas,” he said. Spectators are always welcome. One place to watch the triathlon is in Lakeside Park near the transition area. Go to www.marblefallstri.com for more information. Email Gonzales at [email protected] to volunteer. [email protected]

Problems with thick, ugly toe-nails? It is probably fungal nail, clinically known as onychomy-cosis. Traditionally, the problem has been treated with costly oral anti-fungal medications that require fre-quent laboratory monitoring due to potential liver toxicity because it is difficult to penetrate the thick nail with topical antifungals. Good news! Studies have shown when urea, which softens the nail, or penetrant enhancers are added, topical antifungal nail preparations have produced excel-lent results. Topical preparations typical-ly produce higher drug levels at the application site but lower levels in the blood, and therefore fewer side effects compared to oral medications. A randomized, double-blind study showed topi-cal treatment of fungal nail using a combination of the antifungal medication fluconazole (1 per-cent) and urea (40 percent) was more effective (82.8 percent) than fluconazole alone (62.8 percent). Fluconazole was well tolerated and side effects were negligible.

MARBLE FALLS — Marble Falls Public Library youth coordinator Eileen Smith gave children a reason to come back to the library in a decade after tossing out the question, “Where do you see yourself in 10 years?” To entice them to return, Smith had the kids bring items to the library to put in a time capsule. Some of the items included the children’s written responses to Smith’s question. But then, she paused for a moment or two and thought, “Why not open

this to local businesses and residents?” So Smith did. People and busi-nesses interested in placing an item in the time capsule should drop it off at the library, 101 Main St., on or before July 19. Once all the items are placed in the capsule, Smith and library officials will stash it away for 10 years to be opened again in June 2023. “I do hope some of the kids come back in 10 years,” she said. “I think it would be exciting for them to see what they wrote now and what their lives have become (over the decade).” Often, when organizations or peo-ple put together a time capsule, it’s buried or tucked away for 25, 50 or more years. Smith thought about a lon-ger timeframe but realized the longer the time capsule is stashed away, the more people forget about it. Smith’s

hope is the youth who placed their responses in the time capsule will come back for the re-opening. “Fifty years, that just sounded too long,” she said. “Who’s going to come back for that. But 10 years, I think some kids will come back.” The time capsule falls in line with the Marble Falls Public Library’s youth reading theme this summer, “Dream Big Read!” While the time capsule is open (for now) to businesses and residents, Smith asked that people keep in mind the container is fairly compact (about three feet long and 24 inches in cir-cumference). “You can’t put too big of an item in it,” Smith said.

MFalls library thinks ahead with time capsule

BY AMANDA ROSE

The Marble Falls Public Library is getting a facelift. The library will close July 20 for renovations, and the target re-open date is Aug. 26. Picture this: new paint, carpet, lighting and electrical work! Oh, my! The project is funded by the Friends of the Marble Falls Library. If you shop at or donate to the Library Thrift Store, you are contributing to the renovations. We thank you for your support. Library staff will be working — we just won’t be open to check out materials. However, don’t for-get the online library services. You have 24/7 access to eBooks through Axis 360 and eAudiobooks with OneClick Digital. Check out the website at www.marblefallslibrary.

org for more details. If you haven’t made an appointment and would like help learning how to download digital materials to your devices, call (830) 693-3023 to schedule a time before July 20. Appointments are necessary. At this time, we cannot help drop-ins because of our busy summer sched-ule. Due to the remodeling project, items in the Marble Falls physical collection cannot be placed on hold until we reopen. When placing an item on hold from another library, choose either the Herman Brown Free Library in Burnet or the Bertram Free Library as your pick-up location. The Burnet library is located at 100 E. Washington St. Call (512) 715-5228. The Bertram branch is located at 140 N. Gabriel St. Call (512) 355-2113. Both will be open as usual. While the Marble Falls library is closed, there will be an extended check-out period for all Marble Falls items. Your last day to stock up is July 19. Check the website for the latest information. We sincerely appreciate the Friends of the Library board for mak-ing this possible, and we appreciate all our patrons’ patience as we trans-form the look of our library. Rose is the assistant director of the Marble Falls Public Library.
