Board Meeting
Following the tour, it was business
as usual. Trustees approved a policy
update from the Texas Association of
School Boards. They also approved a
decision to make their own applica-
tion for Title II (federal funds) for use
at Llano ISD. Prior to this, Llano was
part of a cooperative with several
other schools and the Austin Service
Center known as ESC-Repion XIII
Free Ultrasound
An extremely popular item last
year which will be repeated this year
is free ultrasound pictures, for
pregnant women, of baby-to-be.
Interested ladies should note that a
full bladder is required before a
proper picture can be taken. A full
bladder helps to lift the uterus so
that the little one can be seen by
ultrasound. It should also be noted
that the ultrasonic results will not be

and Joann Gibbs.
Manager Louis Loth regretfully
announced they were 41 members
short of having enough present to
conduct business.
The cooperative had two choices.
First, to adjourn the meeting and call
another meeting at another date or,
second, to hold all business in
abeyance until the next regular
meeting date in 1989 keeping the
present directors as holdovers until
next year’s election. Management
opted for the second choice and there
were not any complaints from the
Trustees of the Llano Independent
School District got plenty of exercise
along with their regular school board
work as they opened their meeting
with a tour of the new and remodeled
facilities that are scheduled to be in
use for the new school term, starting
September 1.
Architect Gary Donaldson had the
honor of directing the tour. If all goes
according to schedule, the band hall
at the high school will be turned over
to the school today. August 18.
Completion date for the other
facilities are scheduled for August
21.
As of Monday, the band hall carpet

that medical equipment in hospitals
has to be periodically tested for
function and accuracy. It’s not a
publicized feature of hospitals, and
yet lives depend on it. For those who

Schumann will demonstrate the

Breast Cancer Workshop
For the ladies of our community,
we have a very special feature this
year: a breast cancer workshop.
Most women are understandably
fearful of breast cancer, and this
workshop will address those con-
cerns and others. Dr. Griffith
Thomas will expound on surgical
treatment of breast cancer. Dr.
Thomas is a general and peripheral
vascular surgeon who is well versed
and experienced concerning the

Although there were 13,131 meet-

present to constitute a quorum.

Joan Krause, owner of the Enchan-
ted Thyme Nursery on SH 29,
reported her place of business was
broken into sometime between Sa-
turday noon and 9:30 a.m. Monday.
Entrance was gained by a person or
persons climbing a fence in the rear
of the building, cutting greenhouse
plastic from a rear window. Only
about $3 in coins were missing and a
green or yellow parakeet valued at
$10.
As of Monday afternoon. Chief
Charlie Jenkins said no arrests had
been made. The investigation is
continuing.

Llano officers were busy investi-
gating and gathering evidence Mon-
day as a result of three break-ins
over the weekend on Llano’s north
side.
Hardest hit was NAPA Auto Parts
at 1205 Bessemer where a person, or
persons masked their method of
entry by carefully replacing a
window pane and screen as they left.
Lonnie Hunter reported that
sometime between 5 p.m. Sunday
and 7:45 a.m. Monday, an estimated
$200 was taken from a cash box as
well as tools, auto parts and a tire
wrench.
From there, the person or persons
went next door to Alfalfa Products,
1209 Bessemer, and apparently used
the tire wrench to smash a glass in a
window on the south side.

Employers will be selected at
random and will be given at least a
three-day written notice prior to the
inspection. During these inspec-
tions, officers will review all 1-9
forms as well as discuss the
requirements of the law.
Employers who are not in compli-
ance are subject to a written warning
or possibly the issuance of a notice of
intent to fine. The penalty for
knowingly hiring an unauthorized
alien ranges from $250 to $10,000
per individual. Violations of the
paperwork requirment (1-9) could
result in fines from $100 to $1,000
per individual.
Employers with questions about
this law should contact the immigra-
tion office in Llano, where a branch
office is now located at the comer of

Streets.
members.
The election of William R. Whit-
worth from District 1; Fred Kettner
of District 2; Dayton Leifeste of Llano
for District 4 and Joan Lennon for
District five was thus set aside until
next year.
Whitworth, president of the board
of directors, was chairman for the
program. Director Charles Randolph
of San Saba County and secretary of
the board affirmed the correct
procedures for notifying all members
of the meeting. By unanimous vote,
the roll call and the reading of the
minutes of the previous meeting
were dispensed with.
President Whitworth had high
praise for the operation of the
cooperative and detailed the many
efforts in power-saving programs,
such as rebates, installation of more
than 1200 switches to conserve
power during peak periods and
construction of Good Cents homes.
In the CTEC trade area, he noted
that eight builders had constructed
16 new Good Cents homes.
“There is great benefit in these
load-reducing programs,” Whit-
worth said. "We are going to uphold
our commitment to provide adequate
and reliable service to the members
of the cooperative.”
Loth then detailed the dispute with
the city of Fredericksburg, which
wanted the co-op to give up 63 acres
in the vicinity of the new WalMart
building, along with other land
around the city.
“Your directors felt that it was in
the best interest of the cooperative
that they keep this area,” Loth said.
“To agree to such a deal would have
weakened the cooperative, affecting
its growth and stability.”
