Another major quarry restriction bill is up for hearing Thursday, April 24, at the Texas Capitol, and a group of Burnet County residents are chartering a bus to make sure their voices are heard.
House Bill 5151, authored by state Rep. Terry Wilson of District 20, would ban aggregate production operations, including quarries and rock-crushing plants, within 4 miles of certain lakes and state parks and within 2 miles of youth camps licensed by the state. A similar bill authored by Burnet County’s representative, Ellen Troxclair, is currently being revised after its hearing.
Local nonprofit Save Burnet is offering free transportation from Burnet to Austin for supporters willing to speak in favor of the bill during the public hearing.
“We’ve still got about 16 spots open,” Save Burnet Chairman Randy Printz told DailyTrib.com. “We’d love for people to come with us and speak up. It doesn’t have to be long, just heartfelt. A few words can make a big difference.”
Printz, a local rancher, lives directly across Hoover Valley Road (FM 3509) from the proposed quarry site, which is just southwest of the Burnet city limits. He said the project is both personal and regional.
“You’d be putting a rock quarry next to two state parks and a kids’ camp,” he said. “This bill is a step toward protecting the Hill Country and the people who live here.”
Bus seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis for those willing to testify. To reserve a spot, visit Save Burnet’s contact page and fill out the contact form, commenting that you want a seat. Those taking the bus should arrive at the AgriLife Extension building, 607 N. Vanderveer in Burnet, at around 7 a.m. Thursday for a 7:30 a.m. departure. The bus will return after the hearing concludes, sometime between noon and 4 p.m.
“We rented a small bus because of the short time period. We didn’t elect to get a big one out of respect for the committee members and the legislators,” Printz said. “We didn’t wanna take 50 or 100 people down there, so we thought, you know, 15 or 20 people is respectful of the committee’s time.”
While HB 3482 calls for increased regulation and data collection near sensitive areas, Rep. Wilson’s HB 5151 takes a firmer stance, directly prohibiting new aggregate mining operations near specified parks and camps.
“This isn’t about stopping all development,” Printz said. “It’s about putting boundaries where they make sense. And this is one of those places.”

Over 900 high school students representing 112 teams from across Texas will gather at Quarry Park in Granite Shoals on Saturday, April 26, to duke it out in the 2025 High School BBQ State Championship. The young pitmasters, including a team from Llano High School, will be competing for a total of $68,750 in scholarships and brisket-fueled bragging rights.
Festivities begin Friday, with teams gathering at the park, 2221 N. Phillips Ranch Road, for an evening meal and rules meeting. Things heat up dark and early at 4:30 a.m. Saturday as the teen cooks fire up their rigs and whip up a series of five dishes—dessert, beans, chicken, ribs, and brisket–that will be judged throughout the day.
Everyone is welcome to attend the competition, and a limited number of judging spots are still available. Sign up online.
High School BBQ, the nonprofit behind the championship, received national recognition when its 2024 state competition was televised on the Magnolia Network series “BBQ High.” The show followed several students as they cooked their way through the highs and lows of the grueling competition.
This is the first time that Granite Shoals will host the championship following years of negotiations between High School BBQ leadership and Police Chief John Ortis and Fire Chief Tim Campbell.
“It’s a great opportunity to showcase what the city has to offer,” Campbell told DailyTrib.com. “It’s not very often that there are residents of (over 100) different cities coming to our town. It means a lot to us to show the rest of Texas what we have to offer.”
Campbell is a formidable pitmaster in his own right, having grown up in the Texas competition scene and, as an adult, winning a Lone Star Barbecue Society state title with his brothers in 2016. He and Chief Ortis have raised thousands of dollars for charity through their barbecue and served as mentors to local youth interested in the ancient art of smoking meat.
Each member of the High School BBQ grand champion team will receive $7,000 in scholarships. The reserve champions get $4,000 each, and third place team members win $2,750.
“This is what we’re passionate about, giving these kids an opportunity,” Ortis said.
Granite Shoals and the surrounding area should see a financial boost from the competition. Arriving with the 900 students will be coaches and families. Ortis said hotels, motels, and bed-and-breakfast inns all the way to Lampasas are completely booked for the event.
Llano High School is the only local team competing on Saturday. Burnet High School does have a team, but it’s participating in the event.
Marble Falls High School, which includes Granite Shoals students, does not have a team, something the Granite Shoals chiefs want to change.
“Ortis and I are willing to help. We would love to get a Marble Falls team together,” Campbell said. “It’s exciting to see the next generation come up and start doing the cooking.”

Huber Carbonates LLC wants to crush more rocks, run longer hours, and emit more dust from one of its facilities in Marble Falls, according to its recent Texas Commission on Environmental Quality application. Nearby residents have until May 18 to comment on the application or request a hearing with the state agency.
Huber Carbonates, a branch of Huber Engineered Materials, operates a limestone mine and rock-crushing facility at 849 U.S. 281 South. The aggregate company applied for an air-quality permit renewal and amendment with the TCEQ, which went public on April 18, triggering a 30-day countdown for comments and requests for contested hearings.

The main requests in Huber’s application are to increase operating hours, boost annual production based on those new hours, and add three aggregate material stockpiles.
According to Huber’s application, the boost in production at the limestone mine would increase large particle emissions—dust and debris from rock crushing—from 2.45 tons a year to 10.54 tons a year, a 330.2 percent rise. However, the company also expects to reduce its fine particle emissions, which are generally considered to be a greater health risk, from 0.95 tons a year to 0.94 tons per year, a 1.05 percent decrease.
To file a comment or request a contested case hearing, visit the TCEQ comment portal and enter the permit No. 8252.

A familiar antiques shop in Burnet has gotten a second life. Flee’s Antique Market, formerly Designer’s Market and Antiques, reopened under new owner Lee F. Reissig. The store at 500 Buchanan Drive held a ribbon-cutting April 17.
Flee’s features a refreshed exterior and a few new vendors. Inside, shoppers can find everything from 100-year-old furniture to Hot Wheels toy cars from the ’90s.
“It’s about 7,500 square-feet of antiques, vintage, and retro collectibles,” Reissig said. “You’ll see furniture, old toys, comic books, vinyl, pocket knives, children’s books—it’s really a collector’s haven.”
Upon entering the market, shoppers are greeted by front displays showcasing Reissig’s personal collection: vintage children’s books, antique lighters, country and western vinyl records, and a growing assortment of license plates.
“I’m more of a collector than a seller,” Reissig said. “I’ve always loved Mid-Century furniture and anything nostalgic from the ’60s and ’70s—old toys, comics, that kind of thing. It just sticks with me.”
The shop’s name comes from Reissig’s childhood nickname: “Flee Monster.”
“It just kind of stuck,” he said. “And it evokes like a flea market, too, you know, so I thought it fit nicely.”
Reissig purchased Designer’s Market and Antiques in December 2024 from family friend Natalie Bruns, who ran the shop for nearly 15 years. It originally operated out of a building attached to Crazy Gals Café before moving to its current location around 2021.
Reissig officially took over on Feb. 1.

“Honestly, it was kind of a no-brainer,” Reissig said about the purchase. “Natalie was ready to step away, and I’ve always dreamed of owning a shop. Never imagined something this big, but it’s a dream come true.”
Reissig, a Burnet native, returned to the area after working for years in Colorado’s hospitality industry. He holds a degree in archaeology and previously managed hotels for Marriott before shifting careers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Though Flee’s Antique Market is a sole proprietorship, Reissig emphasized the role his family plays in supporting the store.
“I run this place alone, but this is really a family-run business,” he said. “I couldn’t do any of this without my parents.”
Flee’s Antique Market is now open to the public, inviting shoppers to add to their collections and step into a time capsule of memories and mementos.
“There’s nothing better than when someone walks in and says, ‘Oh, wow, I had that exact same duck when I was a kid,’” Reissig said. “That kind of nostalgia, it’s magic.”
Flee’s Antique Market is open seven days a week from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Visit its Facebook page for more information.

The Hill Country Villas apartment complex in Marble Falls was evacuated early Friday morning after a vehicle crashed into an exposed gas meter, causing a major leak. Dozens of residents, mostly elderly, were displaced.
The accident happened around 4:30 a.m. April 18, according to Marble Falls Fire Rescue Incident Commander Jordan Thomas. Soon after, Atmos Energy workers, first responders, and Ark of Highland Lakes volunteers converged on the complex, 200 RR 1431, to make repairs, secure the scene, and comfort the residents, estimated at around 100.
“We responded with two engine companies, and the meter was sheared off from the gas line below the shut-off valve,” Thomas told DailyTrib.com on Friday. “Ultimately, we made the decision to evacuate within a 100-yard radius of the source of the gas leak.”
As of noon Friday, Atmos estimated the fix could take up to eight hours, depending on if crews have to shut down a main gas line or can instead find a smaller service line that can be crimped.
Gas could be smelled in a wide radius around the Hill Country Villas, even across RR 1431 from the complex. Part of the highway was shut down and through traffic closed off on Via Viejo.
According to a statement from the Marble Falls Police Department, the driver of the vehicle that struck the gas meter likely fell asleep at the wheel. They were reportedly cited and released earlier in the day.
EVACUATION

The Hill Country Villas apartment complex and surrounding homes were evacuated following the gas leak. Residents were brought to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 200 Via Viejo, just down the street.
Ark of Highland Lakes, formerly known as the Highland Lakes Crisis Network, had set up a base of operations at the church by 6:30 a.m., bringing food, water, and coffee for the displaced residents.

“We’re just visiting with them and trying to keep them encouraged,” Ark President Jackie English told DailyTrib.com. “I think the message is that this is just another example of loving God and loving people, which is sort of our slogan.”
About 10 Ark volunteers were on the scene, delivering supplies and helping the residents remain comfortable during the ordeal. According to English, the organization is prepared to provide aid as long as it is needed.
“They’ve been really really good to us,” said Mary Burcham, a Hill Country Villas resident.
Lou Cascialano, a wheelchair-bound resident, commended Marble Falls first responders for helping get him to the church. He did note that he wished the music at the church was better, recommending Bob Seger.
Residents had to leave their cars behind, forcing many of the older evacuees to make a difficult trip uphill to the church from the apartment complex.
“We had to do the best we could because some of these people aren’t mobile, they can’t walk, so it was hard,” resident Theresa Crawford said. “Some of us couldn’t bring anything, so thank God they had water and everything.”

Not all residents are elderly or retired. Nicole Hendricks had to miss work because of the incident and is still waiting it out with her cat, niece, mother, and mother’s dog.
“Our cars are kind of trapped in the complex,” she said. “I’m supposed to be at work at 10 (a.m.), but I talked to my manager and she knows. But now we’re just waiting.”

Easter weekend arrives with closures, community events, and church services April 18-20.
CLOSURES
Many government offices will be closed on Good Friday, including the cities of Burnet, Cottonwood Shores, Granite Shoals, Highland Haven, Horseshoe Bay, and Marble Falls as well as Burnet and Llano counties.

HOLIDAY ORIGINS
Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ, an event central to the Christian faith that represents sacrifice, suffering, and salvation. The term “Good” originates from Old English, signifying “Holy.”
Easter Sunday celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which occurred three days after his crucifixion and symbolizes renewal and hope.
“Easter” is believed to be derived from the pre-Christian Anglo-Saxon goddess Eostre, who is associated with springtime, new life, and rebirth.

Marble Falls will host a Formula 1 Powerboat Championship series event this summer at Lakeside Park. The Battle on the Colorado will pit high-powered watercraft and their world-class drivers against one another on Lake Marble Falls. This might sound familiar, but it is not LakeFest 2.0.
The F1 boat races take place Aug. 1-3. Details are taking shape, but general admission will be free for spectators on Aug. 1. The races on Aug. 2-3 will be ticketed.
“We are thrilled to bring the Formula 1 Powerboat Championship to Marble Falls for the first time,” said Tim Seebold, the organization’s managing director, in an April 11 media release announcing the Battle on the Colorado. “This event represents everything we love about the sport—fast boats, passionate fans, and a vibrant local community ready to embrace the thrill of racing. Marble Falls is the perfect new destination on our national tour. We are looking forward to making waves on the Colorado River.”
The Formula 1 Powerboat Championship has seven major races scheduled in 2025, including the Marble Falls competition.
“This is not just a race. It’s a spectacle,” said Marble Falls/Highland Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Jarrod Metzgar in the media release. “We’re excited to bring the Formula One Powerboat Championship to Marble Falls and elevate the Battle on the Colorado into a nationally recognized event. It’s a win for our community, our local businesses, and the thousands of fans who will line the banks to witness the action.”
Marble Falls has a strong history with fast boats and good times. LakeFest, the popular drag boat races traditionally held on Lake Marble Falls over the summer, drew massive crowds for more than 30 years. The 2025 event was canceled after its promoter, the Southern Drag Boat Racing Association, changed hands in January. The new owners said they did not have the time or logistics to put on LakeFest this year.
“I think the tradition of LakeFest is up in the air, and we just don’t have a lot of answers on those questions,” Metzgar told DailyTrib.com on Thursday, April 17. “But we are extremely excited to have Formula 1 powerboat racing coming to Marble Falls.”
The Battle on the Colorado will differ significantly from LakeFest. F1 boats are smaller and lighter, hitting speeds over 120 mph. Drag boats typically reach around 200 mph. The key difference is the maneuverability of F1 boats, which allows for hairpin turns and actual racing circuits. Drag boats, while faster, only go in a straight line for a short distance.
The Formula 1 Powerboat Championship series events will be streamed and covered by Live Race Media online via Facebook and YouTube.
