GRANITE SHOALS — As Jennifer Hart sifted through the remains of her Granite Shoals home Jan. 30, a few days after a fire ravaged it, she picked up a charred toy. It was a top.
“Hey, look. I found Mom’s top,” she said, holding it up for several friends and her brother to see. Then, she pressed down on the spindle coming out of the top of the toy. It spun. “And it works.

BURNET — One of the growing concerns among business and industry leaders is how the United States is falling behind when it comes to producing graduates with science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) degrees. Now, Burnet Consolidated Independent School District is positioning itself to help curtail that assessment.
“Getting kids interested in (STEM) programs has really become a national priority,” said Jim Connor, the BCISD director of secondary curriculum. Recently, the district announced the creation of a pre-engineering magnet program for the next academic year that will give students a chance to pursue STEM studies.

Wintery weather glazed roadways with ice overnight in Burnet and Llano counties Jan. 24, causing a few issues for motorists on their morning commute. The pickup truck on Texas 29 across from the Burnet County Sheriff’s Office slid off the roadway about 9:30 a.m. into a bar ditch and avoided colliding with other vehicles. Burnet Consolidated Independent School District and Faith Academy of Marble Falls canceled classes for the day, while Marble Falls and Llano ISD announced two-hour delays to the start of school to keep school buses, educators and students off slick roadways. Road conditions are expected to improve about noon as temperatures rise and chances decrease for rain mixed with sleet. Staff photo by Marie Ebeling
