There will be at least two new
faces on the Llano ISD board as five
candidates seek three seats. Assured
of serving his first term on the board
will be Llano County Agent John
Kuykendall, who is unopposed for
place 5. Kuykendall will be replacing
Joe Horlen, who resigned several
months ago.
Incumbent and president of the
board is George Wentsch of Horse-
shoe Bay, who will be seeking his
second three-year term. Wentsch is
being challenged by Mike McPher-
son of Llano for the Place 1 seat.
The Place 6 seat is being sought by
Rodney Hardin, who works as a
trooper for the Department of Public
Safety in Llano County and Ken
Sanders, who is employed at First
Llano Bank.
One of the two will be replacing
former board president Dr. David
Hoerster, who resigned and Wayne
Brascom, who was appointed to take
Hoerster’s place, and who also later
resigned.
All voting will be Saturday, May 7

financing the law enforcement in the
resort community from the Property
Owners Association to the MUD.
The change would be gradual, one
percent increase per year with the
POA maintenance fees reducing an
equal amount to the increase of ad
valorem taxes. The primary reason
given was to establish a more
equitable way of financing the police
department.

demand in the short and long-term.
The checkoff is a producer-run
program that seeks to win back beef
eaters through consumer education,
research, promotion and advertising.
The way the checkoff works is
simple: every producer, even impor-
ters. invests 31 per head of cattle
sold. The funds are used for more
than 100 programs whose sole
purpose is to promote more beef
consumption.
A common misunderstanding is
the assumption that the beef check-
off is primarily a program of
advertising. In fact, only about half
of all checkoff dollars are used for
national, regional and institutional
advertising.
No one questions the fact that the
advertising has the most immediate
effect on consumers. In one recent
study, 14 million self-described
"light” beef users purchased beef
more often after seeing checkoff-
funded ads.
More than 84 million will be spent
this year on research — research
that is designed to respond to
questions raised by critics. One
recent study helped demonstrate
how beef is important as a source of
iron. Other scientific studies are
looking for the true facts relating to
cholesterol, cutability, and safety of
beef products.
Checkoff dollars fund a wide array
of marketing and promotional pro-
ast.
