payout based on their years
of service to the LISD, said
Superintendent
Dr.
Randy
Hoyer.
He projected savings annually
after the initial year could be
between $100,000 and $300,000
if replacement staff are hired at a
lower cost.
Any district employee was

of service, but he said the vast

A one-vehicle rollover sent a Lampasas man to Rollins Brook Community Hospital after the man
swerved his pickup truck to avoid hitting a deer.
Local man injured in truck rollover
A Lampasas man was injured in a one-vehicle rollover
Tuesday mornning a few miles east of Rumley.
Michael Simons, driver of a 2008 Dodge 2500 pickup,
was headed west on FM 580 when the accident occurred
about 10 a.m., according to a report by Texas Department
of Public Safety Trooper I Chad Freeman.
As Simons rounded a curve, a deer entered the road
from the driver’s left. Simons swerved right to avoid the
deer, Freeman said, causing the pickup to drive off the
side of the road.
Simons then overcorrected to the left, the trooper said,
and lost control of the vehicle, which rolled several
times.
Simons was wearing a seat belt when the accident
occurred, and he sustained what Freeman described as
“non-incapacitating injuries.” The driver was conscious
after the rollover and did not appear to have broken
bones, the trooper said.
Capital EMS transported Simons to Rollins Brook
Community Hospital.
The pickup was towed from the site of the
rollover.

The Agriculture
of Lampasas
Since the first permanent Anglo settlers arrived in Lampasas
County in the 1850s, agriculture has been an influential part of the
county’s landscape and economy.
Cattle ranching has been – and remains – one of the main ranching
endeavors, although some agricultural producers over the years
have focused on sheep and goats.
Lampasas County developed as an important wool warehousing
and marketing center in the early 20th century, according to the book
“Lampasas County Texas: Its History and Its People.”
Despite population movement away from farms and the
fragmentation of rural land as large ranches are subdivided,
agricultural activities remain a viable source of economic activity in
Lampasas County.
Cow-calf operations, goat ranching and the raising of livestock bred
especially for shows generate income for county landowners.
Several wineries also have opened in recent years, giving a
Mediterranean look to parts of the Hill Country.
In addition, many property owners are purchasing and managing
land for recreational purposes, from horseback riding to nature
viewing to hunting.
Hunting leases – particularly for white-tailed deer – can generate
thousands of dollars per year for some landowners and allow many
people from across the state to enjoy sporting opportunities in
Lampasas County.
Development continues to draw more urban amenities to Lampasas
and surrounding communities, but ample open spaces remain, and
Lampasas stays firmly connected to its rural roots.
