The set was a simple one, a table, two chairs, a pitcher of water, two glasses and two actors, but the impact of the play was anything but that. The Llano Community Theatre, now in its second year, opened the 2016/2017 season with “Love Letters,” a play by A. R. Gurney, on Friday night.
The Western Trappings exhibition for this year is now over, and the drawing for the winner of this one of a kind bracelet was held at 5 p.m. Saturday. Norma VanArman of Llano was the winner of the gorgeous silver and turquoise bracelet crafted by Charles Wendt of Llano. Western Trappings appreciates all the artists, the museum and committee members for another amazing display of western art and trappings and appreciates the support of patrons and visitors.
The Llano City Council heard a presentation on its electrical master plan and discussed whether or not to open a portion of East Houston Street at its meeting on Monday night. Representatives from M&S Engineering gave a presentation on the city’s master electrical plan, which was evaluated in September. The system evaluated is the electrical distribution system for the city. Brian Meuth of M&S Engineering said the system is in “very good shape.” He said the system withstood its pe ...

Llano County’s turnout on the first day of early voting for the 2016 general election was the highest in the state by percentage of registered voters. With no way to measure county by county turnout across the state, Scurry County challenged the other counties in the state to get people out to early vote.

An Arizona man turned himself in early Saturday morning after allegedly shooting a friend. Justin Lamb, 27, of Yuma, Ariz., entered the Stripes convenience store at the corner of Hwy. 29 and Hwy. 16 in Llano during the early morning hours Saturday and asked to use a phone to call 911, according to a Llano County Sheriff’s Office press release.
An almost month-long saga is over after a Brownwood company pulled its air quality application to build a concrete batch plant at the edge of Llano’s city limits. Ingram Concrete, LLC, withdrew an air quality registration submitted to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, meaning the Brownwood company is no longer seeking to build a concrete batch plant just off Hwy.
SAN SABA — Llano High has its first 500-win coach — or one of its very few. I’m sort of guessing on that, so if you know of another one, please send me a post. The Jackets got in a bit late on this one, but we’ll take it. Girls’ head basketball coach, Jerry McSherry, preceded his two victories in San Saba (November 17-18) with 498 wins in a quarter century in various communities in the state. “All about the kids leading up to this,” McSherry told me,  ...
“On fire!” Coach Jerry McSherry said. I guess. A career night for senior Angela Palmares: seven three-pointers and 27 points — personal bests for sure, and the most by any jacket in a long time, as Llano rallied to belt Brady, 50-43, November 21. No one would have foreseen such numbers at halftime. It was 20-12, Bulldogs, but the Jackets chalked up 18 in the third and 20 in the fourth.
MARBLE FALLS — After more than 1,500 games, and, at 90 points every 32 minutes — his team and the opponent — Coach Jerry English has witnessed somewhere in the unscientific neighborhood of 131,000 points. He needed to make sure his Faith Academy Lady Flames stayed close enough to Lipan and Hamilton, November 17, so that two of those points—.00002 percent - provided him with wins 1199 and 1200.
EARLY — Appropriate location. The early days of the Llano High career of head coach Aaron Nuckles opened here near Brownwood, November 15, as the basketball Jackets were competitive but lost, 49-44, to the Longhorns. “There are good things to start with,” said Nuckles, but, “a lot to improve on.” Michael Lockhart doesn’t have much to improve on in the rebounding category: he grabbed 16 boards, a remarkable number in a 32-minute contest.

Dear Editor, I like Llano just as it is. In the Llano News of 10-26-2016, Paul Paxton had written about his concern over the proposed cement plant. I object to the idea that the plant would be better away from the city and in the county somewhere. The cement dust will still blow onto someone’s property and when it rains, the water will still run downhill to the Llano River, and into the someone’s water source.
