LIFT EVERY VOICE: Members of the Youth Choir perform a skit titled “Look Where He’s 

Brought Me From,” written by Tiffany Williams, during the Black Awareness Youth Program 

on Saturday night at Estacado Junior High School. The Youth Choir performed several 

songs and skits to celebrate Black History Month. 

Coach: Prepare for 

ultimate road trip 

By KEVIN LEWIS 

Herald Editor 

Leave it to a former athlete and 

coach to equate getting ready to 

go to the state basketball tournament 

to preparing to take the 

ultimate road trip — going to 

heaven. 

Jimmy Moore, the fi rst black 

athletic director at Lubbock Christian 

University who also coached 

at numerous area schools includ- 

ing Lubbock Estacado and Coronado, 

told the audience at Sunday 

afternoon’s Black Awareness and 

Martin Luther King Community 

Celebration that Plainview basketball 

fans no doubt are making 

plans to take a trip to Austin. 

Fans in his hometown of Morton 

did the same thing when he was 

playing basketball there in the 

mid-1980s. 

“We knew we were going to 

state,” he said. “You have to get 

that room ready.” 

The current principal at Lubbock 

Dunbar Middle School related 

that preparation to getting 

things in order for our “heavenly 

call.” 

“It’s so easy for us to do that 

with earthly things,” Moore said, 

adding that even more time must 

be devoted to preparing a heavenly 

home.

Blog focuses on local ‘Idol’ 

By NICKI BRUCE LOGAN 

Herald Lifestyles Editor 

A pair of area educators 

will be helping Plain viewans 

keep up with their favorite 

“American Idol” contestant 

with a first-hand blog. 

Former Plainview schoolteacher 

Pat Carthel and her 

daughter, Tania Halbleib, a 

teacher at La Mesa Elementary, 

have started a blog on 

My.Plainview.com to follow 

Plainview native Todrick 

Hall’s journey as a contestant 

on the national television 

program “American Idol.” 

The blog is named “Todrick 

— Hop of Hope.” 

Carthel, who now lives in 

Silverton, was Hall’s gifted 

and talented teacher at La 

Mesa starting when he was 5 

years old, as she relates in the 

blog. In several past stories in 

the Herald, Hall has credited 

Carthel with supporting his 

interest in the arts, particu- 

Pat Carthel, Tania Halbleib 

larly dance. 

At the time Hall was in 

elementary school, Halbleib 

owned a dance studio, Tip 

Tap Toes, in Plainview where 

she taught Hall. 

Halbleib wrote on her first 

posting on the blog, “When 

Todrick first graced the 

doors of Tip Tap Toes, he 

immediately looked as if he 

had been there forever. He 

took to the floor with passion 

and never, ever held back. 

Never afraid to try anything, 

he leapt, turned, and tapped 

every moment he could. If 



my doors were open, he was 

there. I could show him a 

difficult combination and 

BOOM! perfect the first 

try. He has a knack for that, 

perfection and always striving 

to become the best he 

can be. Todrick was a dance 

teacher’s dream . . . pushing 

himself, and his dancemates 

with a fearless attitude. The 

stage was Todrick’s ultimate 

goal and he soon realized that 

this was the place for him — 

under the lights.” 

Carthel and Halbleib plan 

to travel to California to see 

Todrick on “American Idol” 

at a future date. 

Keep up with them at Todrick’s 

Hop of Hope on My- 

Plainview.com and watch 

Hall’s next performance at 

7 p.m. Wednesday on Fox 

Television, Suddenlink channel 

10.

TUESDAY, FEB. 23, 2010 

Situations that have a direct effect 

on your material affairs are likely to 

show a marked improvement in the 

year ahead. However, this doesn’t 

mean you can coast. Only ambition 

and hard work will bring in the big 

bucks. 

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — 

While some situations require taking 

a risk, others will need a more 

conservative approach. You need 

to have excellent judgment about 

when to do what. 

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Be 

careful what you promise, because 

if you fail to make good on it, a close 

friend’s feelings could easily be hurt. 

You had better have a good reason 

for going back on your word. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — 

You might start out upbeat and positive, 

but as time ticks on, you could 

easily lose your momentum and let 

self-doubts begin to creep in, conjuring 

a negative frame of mind. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — The 

probabilities for acquisition look good 

in some instances, but your possibilities 

for loss are also strong in other 

cases. The trick is to be careful and 

understand the differences. 

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — It 

isn’t that you don’t have excellent 

leadership qualities — you do. It’s 

more likely that you’ll use them only 

as a last resort instead of in a timely 

fashion. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — It’s 

important to be a good listener. If 

you hear only what you want to hear 

and little else, instead of avoiding 

trouble, your deafness could put you 

in a bind. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — 

Treat everyone with your usual 

considerate manner, but don’t go 

overboard and allow someone to 

take advantage of your generous 

nature. Know when to stand up for 

your rights. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — All 

will go well when it comes to pursuing 

your objectives, but in order to 

reach a successful conclusion, you 

must remain focused right until the 

end. Don’t let down too early. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) 

— Even though your judgment is 

likely to be sounder than that of your 

colleagues, when push comes to 

shove, unfortunately, you could easily 

yield to theirs. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 

21) — You’re likely to do everything 

well at this time, yet this might not 

be enough. If you allow yourself to 

work in fits and starts, you will severely 

minimize productivity and effectiveness. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) 

— Be careful how you treat associates 

because if you show any partiality 

— and you could if you think 

something is in it for you — you 

might lose a valuable cohort. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) 

— Because you’re likely to do quite 

well at everything, you might not 

know when to call it quits. Once you 

tire, your productivity could easily 

collapse and begin to disrupt what 

you’ve already accomplished.

Receive us; we have

Corinthians 7:2 

by fi re early last year. 

Entertainment was provided 

by Lubbock magician 

Monte Montgomery, who 

brought several audience 

members to the stage as active 

participants in various 

tricks of illusion. 

Introducing Lockney’s 

Citizens of the Year, Maria 

Arellano explained that the 

Gaticas have been residents 

of Lockney for the past 57 

years and have been married 

for 44 years. Charter 

members of San Jose Catholic 

Church, which began in 

1962, the Gaticas have two 

sons and a grandson. 

Estefana Gatica has been a 

lab technician at W.J. Mangold 

Clinic for 47 years. She 

also has served in a number 

of ministries at San Jose 

Catholic Church, including 

Christian Catholic Education 

teacher for about 15 

years, secretary of the Parish 

Pastoral Council, Eucharistic 

minister and a member of 

the Guadalupanas Women 

Society. Gatica also helps 

with church funeral meals. 

For the past 10 years she 

has delivered Salvation 

Army food bags during the 

holiday season. 

Felipe Gatica is retired 

after working 34 years as a 

road machinery operator for 

Floyd County. He has served 

in various roles at San Jose 

Catholic Church, including 

Parish Pastoral Council 

president and vice president. 

Currently, he chairs the social 

action committee and is 

a Eucharistic minister. 

Gatica has been president, 

vice president and treasurer 

of the Parish Men’s Society, 

helps maintain the church 

grounds and participates in 

all church fundraising efforts. 

He also delivers Salvation 

Army food bags during 

holidays. 

For more than 20 years 

Gatica was committee chairman 

of Boy Scout Troop 206 

in Lockney and participated 

in many of its camping trips 

and camporees as well as 

helping one Scout achieve 

the rank of Eagle.

“You have to get your 

house in order,” he said. 

“This whole thing is bigger 

than going to Austin, Texas.” 

Moore, the youngest of 10 

kids, spoke about not using 

adverse things in your background 

as excuses. He grew 

up without a father after he 

was killed in a domestic 

dispute by Moore’s mother. 

Moore was only 3 years old 

at the time. 

“Don’t be a product of 

your circumstances. We 

must overcome the callous 

points in life,” said Moore, 

who worked as a deputy 

sheriff in Lubbock and a recreation 

therapist at the Children’s 

Home of Lubbock 

before getting into coaching, 

teaching and later school administration. 

Growing up, Moore said 

kids made fun of the shape 

of his skull, calling him 

“football head.” 

But Moore said that was 

OK. 

“Sometimes being different 

is not bad at all. It just 

depends on your perspective,” 

he said. “Every soul is 

precious.” 

Moore said God has reasons 

why he sends you 

“down the road less traveled.” 

For Moore, it was so 

he could teach others. 

He said he didn’t always 

strive to be his best, intentionally 

making low grades 

so as not to call attention to 

himself and be different. 

“But God has not called 

us to be in the low group,” 

he said. “Our eyes are fi xed 

upon the heavens. We must 

listen to the voice of God. 

He has a plan for us.” 

Moore’s speech concluded 

a 2-1/2 hour program at 

Happy Union Baptist Church 

with the theme “Keeping 

the Dream Alive by Turn- 

A strong supporter of the 

Lockney school sports programs, 

he has helped run 

the chains, time clock and 

manned the gate at football 

games plus assists at basketball 

and softball games and 

other events. 

He has served as president 

of the Migrant Parental 

Involvement Program for 

Lockney Public Schools. 

“This couple has always 

been there for families in 

need in our community of 

Lockney, assisting them in 

any way possible,” explained 

Arellano. “I can assure you 

that they have been and continue 

to be great role models 

to many, being a light to others, 

walking the talk as servants 

to all in need.” 

As Citizens of the Year, 

the Gaticas will be entrusted 

with the traveling Lockney 

Citizen of the Year loving 

cup for a year before giving 

it up at next year’s banquet. 

At Saturday’s banquet, last 

year’s recipients, Lockney 

Boy Scout leaders Jim 

Huggins and Bill Hunter, 

received their own 2008 Citizen 

of the Year plaques before 

the traveling trophy was 

passed on to the Gaticas. 

In introducing Hooten as 

Fireman of the Year, fellow 

volunteer Rodney Hunt 

called him “a mentor, a hero 

and a fi ne man.” Explaining 

that he served as a point man 

for the department, Hunt noted 

that Hooten took an attack 

line onto the second fl oor of 

Lockney High School when 

it burned Jan. 11, 2009, “going 

on the offensive and putting 

forth the best effort he 

could.” 

Lockney Chamber members 

were encouraged to attend 

at meeting a Main Street 

Pizza at 6 p.m. March 11 

when several retiring board 

members will be replaced 

and plans for the upcoming 

year will be discussed. The 

three major activities the 

Lockney Chamber organizes 

each year are Lockney’s 

Old-Fashioned Saturday, the 

Downtown Christmas activities 

and the annual Chamber 

banquet.

ing Obstacles Into Stepping 

Stones.” 

Plainview High School 

junior Shaniqua Whitaker 

recited part of Martin Luther 

King’s famous “I Have a 

Dream” speech. 

Also, 27 ushers at Plainview’s 

black churches were 

presented plaques in appreciation 

for “making comfortable 

those who enter the 

door you keep,” said Marilyn 

Jennings. 

Sandra Givens Franklin 

offered the Occasion, saying, 

“This is a day to give 

recognition to everyone who 

has given of themselves to 

this community. We are a 

beautiful bouquet of God’s 

fl owers.” 

Alpha Jennings, a former 

Miss Wayland, spoke on 

challenging obstacles, offering 

fi ve suggestions to be 

successful: dream, walk with 

purpose, have a positive affect 

on your environment, 

allow God to be the author 

and fi nisher, and wake up 

and live. 

Jimmy Collins offered a 

devotion, Roy Parr, a prayer, 

and Curtis Thompson gave 

the welcome. Doris Washington 

served as mistress of 

ceremonies. 

“We have a black president 

but that doesn’t mean 

we can stop moving forward,” 

Washington said. 

In conclusion, Rubye Henderson, 

who again this year 

coordinated many of the 

events for the Black Awareness 

celebration, reminded 

the audience, “You’re black 

all year long . . . Go do 

good.”

the same people who 

are on Facebook right 

now posting pictures 

of themselves playing 

beer pong nude. Why 

is it that some people 

seem to care very 

much about privacy 

and others don’t seem 

to care at all? 

If you care a lot about 

privacy and you’ve got a 

driver’s license, the big, bad 

government already knows 

your name and address, 

your birthday, your height, 

your eye color, whether you 

should wear glasses and if 

you’d like to donate your 

organs. Your privacy genie 

is already out of the bottle. 

And the census doesn’t care 

about your eye color. As a 

matter of fact, it only asks ten 

questions. My grocery store 

asks for way more information 

to apply for a Shopper’s 

Discount Card. They wanted 

my phone number, a recent 

tax return and a thumbprint 

before I could save 15 cents 

on a can of peas. At my local 

convenience store, the 

clerk always wants to see 

my driver’s license to prove 

that I’m 40 years older than 

the age required to buy a sixpack 

of beer. Compared to 

what everyone else wants to 

know about you, the census 

is a cupcake. 

Bought a car? Paid income 

taxes? Have a Social Security 

number? Got a Frequent Flyer 

Card? A passport? A credit 

card? A bank account? A 

401(k)? On Medicare? Been 

in a hospital, gone to a doctor? 

Filled out a selective service 

form, served in the military, 

had a government job, 

member of a union, attended 

grade school, high school or 

college? Got a phone? Get 

an electric bill? Registered 

with a political party? Have 

a library card? Filled out a 

job application? Registered 

to vote? Get cable TV? Got a 

mortgage? Got a divorce? 

Your privacy jumped out a 

While it is good to let boys 

be rough and tumble warriors 

with other guys, they should 

not be excused from doing 

jobs in the house. When my 

son was 8, he and his sister 

stayed with a sitter while I 

took a college class. 

Arriving home one night 

at 11 p.m., I found a pile of 

dirty jeans on my bed with 

a note that said, “Mom, I 

need clean jeans for school 

tomorrow. Thanks.” I started 

window and went splat a long, 

long time before the census 

ever came around. And 

all the king’s horses and 

all the king’s men can’t 

put it back together 

again. What privacy are 

you trying to save? The 

Census Bureau is mailing 

you the form. They 

already know where you 

live. All they want to 

know is how many peo- 

ple live in your house. 

Is that the big secret 

you’re keeping from the 

Census Bureau? You’re 

afraid that they’ll fi nd out 

how many college-age kids 

you have living at home so 

mom can keep doing their 

laundry and cooking their 

meals and dad can keep buying 

their gas? It’s nothing to 

be embarrassed about. We’ve 

all been there. Besides, anyone 

with bad intentions and 

a fast computer can fi nd out 

all about you quickly, easily 

and illegally, right now. 

They don’t need the Census 

Bureau. 

Privacy is one of those 

things that sound good. Who 

doesn’t want more privacy? 

But it’s something no one 

had to begin with. Let me 

ask all the people complaining 

about a lack of privacy: 

When did you have all this 

privacy that the census is 

taking away from you? Oh 

yeah, never. The census is 

not some new thing the government 

just came up with to 

“get” you. 

As a matter of fact, isn’t 

that why Mary and Joseph 

went to Bethlehem in the fi rst 

place? To be counted in a 

census? About the only thing 

someone with bad intentions 

and a fast computer can’t fi nd 

out about you quickly, easily 

and illegally right now is 

how many people live in your 

house this very day. 

Maybe, instead of taking 

a census, the government 

should just get itself a Facebook 

page and start friending 

people.

a wash load before I went to 

bed and dried them early the 

next morning. 

Then I decided that he 

needed to learn to wash his

Saddened by church’s decreased attendance 

Preface: Some may fi nd 

today’s column offensive, 

but sadly I fi nd today’s column 

necessary. For those 

who fi nd it offensive, at the 

end there will be instructions 

to follow proper complaint 

procedures. 

Recently, the necessity 

arose to leave church during 

its regular a.m. Sunday 

activities. 

I passed several churches 

also in progress and noticed 

a decrease in Sunday a.m. 

travel activity. 

I also noticed that the 

amount of attendance in autos 

parked has also signifi - 

cantly decreased. 

Since then I have had opportunity 

to speak to members 

of other churches and 

found that my fi ndings are 

true. 

Attendance on Sunday 

a.m. has decreased and continues 

to do so. This caused 

curiosity and thus led to an 

investigation on my behalf 

concerning the why and 

wherefores of such occurrences. 

The investigation turned 

up the following cause for 

the consistent downing in 

attendance. The cause has 

been around for ages and 

continues to be highly contagious. 

Working in the 

medical community, I now 

know that the disease can be 

referred to as “Sundayitis” 

(in Spanish “Domingitis”) 

since this is the main hour of 

occurrence. 

This virus has almost taken 

over our world, due to lack 

of interest in self inspection. 

The onset of the virus begins 

on Friday and/or Saturday, 

and is fully manifested and 

highly noticeable early Sunday 

mornings. 

The Friday and Saturday 

All this news in regard to 

the condition of our nation 

and all this stuff about health 

insurance fi nally gets a little 

depressing. So I decided to 

do the History 

Channel for a 

couple of days 

and maybe get 

break from all 

this gloomand-doom 

stuff. 

It just hap- 

pened to be reporting 

some 

new fi ndings 

on King Tut. 

What was surprising to 

me is old King Tut was not 

old at all. In fact, they claim 

he became king when he 

was nine years old! Now 

naturally we assume with all 

excuse bank is siphoned 

as follows: 

•I am too busy 

•My family/home 

responsibilities prevent 

attendance 

•I live too far from 

church 

•Church people are 

hypocritical 

•They will judge 

me 

•My job situation 

prevents my church attendance 

•Church is a clique 

•Going to church does not 

help me develop spiritually 

•I stopped believing in organized 

religion 

•I don’t like to go alone 

•Diffi culty in waking up 

•It is the only day I have 

to rest 

“Sundayitis” peaks on 

early Sunday, with some 

symptoms as follows: 

•Diffi culty in keeping eyes 

open, appeared to be glued 

together 

•Extreme fatigue (of 

course not at all related to 

staying up into the wee hours 

of the morning watching TV, 

playing video games, etc.) 

•Overall weakness, aching 

and pain of bones, muscles 

and joints 

•Feet extremely sensitive 

to movement, preventing 

weight bearing activity 

•Bed sheets and blankets 

begin sticking to the body 

•High sensitivity to water 

therefore showers and/or 

bathes cannot be taken 

•No appetite 

•Sleepiness overtakes the 

affected victim and utterances 

are formed, “It’s too late 

to go now.” “It’s a bad hair 

day.” “I can’t risk catching a 

cold, or such.” “ 

It seems that now when 

one in the household gets 

the wealth and power kings 

had in those days that Tut 

was one cool dude and had 

it made. They now say Tut 

had a club foot and walked 

with a crutch. He had a cleft 

palate and numerous health 

problems, including malaria 

most of his life. He supposedly 

died at the age of 19. 

The scientists claim evidence 

exists that he was likely 

the offspring of a brother 

and sister, which also created 

genetic problems and 

likely was the cause of most 

of his health problems. Statues 

of Tut show him to have 

an elongated head and feminized 

features (whatever that 

means.) Tut and all this stuff 

was happening around 1323 

B.C., which is a while back, 

and I would imagine some 

“a cold” everybody 

stays home to blow 

her/his nose. 

The illness progresses 

until a little prior to 

lunch time when a ferocious 

appetite ensues. 

Following a fast and 

furious meal, it is then 

siesta time. 

Following a large 

meal, the need for a little 

activity arises. This 

need can be fulfi lled in any 

of the following and many 

other actions, depending on 

seasons; watching sports, 

washing a vehicle, gardening, 

mowing a lawn, snowball 

fi ghts or making snow 

angel. 

In my childhood and youth 

years I never recall either 

parent asking, “Do you want 

to go to church?” or hearing, 

“Oh, Honey, it’s OK to stay 

up late Saturday, anyway 

you can sleep all day tomorrow.” 

Miraculously by Monday 

a.m. the individual is healed 

from head to toe, and come 

hail or high water . . . come 

snow or ice . . . to work they 

will go. 

The companionship with 

other people is how we can 

become what God truly 

wants us to be. 

It is a potential that needs 

to be exercised to grow. He/ 

she who chooses to not interact 

with others, maybe without 

realizing it, cuts himself/ 

herself off from an essential 

and central spiritual development. 

It seems the word sacrifi 

ce is used so loosely 

— especially noted in this 

season prior to the celebration 

of Resurrection Day. I 

am amazed and saddened to 

hear how many dare compare 

anything we might do 

of this information might 

have some discrepancies. 

Something else that always 

piqued my imagination 

was that many of the fi gures 

drawn back in those days of 

local citizenry had the face 

and head of a jackal. Well, 

needless to say a couple of 

days of King Tut was just 

about my quota. I don’t understand 

how they obtained 

some of this information 

from more than 3,000 years 

back, and we can’t seem to 

get all the facts on our current 

leader. Well, that’s another 

issue. 

We are supposed to learn 

from the past and each generation 

is supposed to be 

more intelligent. This, I suppose, 

is true for the most 

part, but it seems some of 

to the greatest sacrifi ce of 

all. 

Without the help and gentle 

guidance of and interaction 

with others, we might 

easily become unbalanced 

and then self-centered. 

Nothing can compare to 

the sacrifi ce of all sacrifi ces. 

The ultimate sacrifi ce took 

our place on the cross. The 

sacrifi cial lamb that lay his 

own self down to be crucifi 

ed on a cruel rugged cross, 

to be lifted and hung in ridicule 

and shame, having been 

beaten, whipped and spat 

upon in taking our blame to 

the grave was a true sacrifi 

ce. 

We can not sacrifi ce a 

meal, an action or such in 

comparison to the miraculous 

happening when Jesus 

rose back from the dead and 

back to life on the morning 

of the third day — victor 

over death. 

May the event of the Resurrection 

lead back to fi lled 

churches as we comprehend 

and accept that we need the 

sacrifi ced Lamb of God, Jesus, 

the risen Savior, in our 

lives, and for sure we need 

each other! 

[Anyone offended will 

have to take their complaint 

to the creator of the tree 

that became the cross, that 

sent his only son to earth 

to die on the cross then to 

conquer death and awaits us 

who believe such. If I am 

wrong then He will correct 

me, but until then I will 

continue attending church 

regularly, not just around 

Resurrection Day. And I 

will continue fi ghting to rid 

“Sundayitis”.]

New stuff about old King Tutankhamun 

nances. 

In our culture, there 

has been a transition 

time as women went 

to work outside their 

homes. For a while, 

many men were not 

prepared to share the 

household chores. It 

was diffi cult to teach 

little boys that they 

needed to learn all 

those tasks if Dad 

was less than enthusiastic 

about participating. 

Times have changed. 

Mom working outside 

the home is the norm, 

and most men share the 

load. 

However, boys may 

still see some of those 

chores as “girl stuff.” 

Do not allow that excuse 

for skipping out on 

these necessary lessons. 

If you need more 

reasons to see the necessity 

of teaching all household 

chores to your sons, consider 

these: Your daughter-in-law 

will love you for having 

taught your son to participate 

in the care of a home. Your 

son will be able to survive 

college apartment life without 

being shut down by the 

health department. Once you 

get through the task of teaching 

your son how to do the 

chores, it will relieve you of 

some work. 

the problems still keep cropping 

up. I never realized the 

gold burial mask of King 

Tut favored Michael Jackson 

so much. 

You don’t suppose? 

Nah! 

At least we are getting another 

break from some of the 

gloom and doom this week. 

The Winter Olympics are 

going full blast. I love hearing 

and watching so many 

young people and their victories 

and defeats as they 

compete. It has been most 

uplifting and inspiring, and 

it is a shame we can’t solve 

some of our other problems 

in a similar fashion.

Remembering the importance and power of prayer 

The importance of prayer 

is at, or very near, the center 

of all things Christian. Most 

of us could recite the “God 

is great” mealtime prayer, 

as well as the “Now I lay me 

down to sleep” beddy-bye 

petition, before we could 

count to 10 or say the “A-B- 

Cs.” We’ve pondered the “pray 

without ceasing” admonition 

and Jesus’ teaching his followers 

to spend much time 

in prayerful communion. 

The Lord’s Prayer, a model 

for Christians, has been repeated 

by millions across the 

centuries. 

Many prayers surpass, or 

at least equal, the world’s 

Jim 

Mullen 

Village Idiot 

Mallard Fillmore 

most beautiful literature. 

Hebrews 11:1 is a classic example: 

“Now faith is the substance 

of things hoped for, 

the evidence of things not 

seen.” Decorated wordsmith 

Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote 

of prayer with wondrous 

lines, among them: “Battering 

the gates of heaven with 

storms of prayer . . . her eyes 

are homes of silent prayer . 

. . more things are wrought 

by prayer than this world 

dreams of.” 

It is noted, however, that 

words from mortal mouths 

do not always come out neatly 

packaged. Recalled are 

preachers, and others with 

microphones in hand, who 

VARIETY 

John 

Perry 

Carole 

Bell 

become tongue entangled or 

fail to engage brain before 

speaking. We can but trust 

that God has a sense of humor, 

easily gleaning the intent 

from the content. 

“Goofs” from church bulletins 

feed on preachers’ 

prayerful pratfalls, and fl eeting 

thoughts suggest that 

“there but by the Grace of 

God go I.” 

Two legends are Texas 

A&M’s R.C. Slocum, head 

coach of the Aggies for 14 

seasons, and Baylor’s Grant 

Teaff, who held the head position 

for 21 years. They still 

chuckle at recollections of 

pre-game invocations voiced 

a few years apart at Baylor 

Yolanda 

Rodriguez 

Stadium. 

Teaff remembers the 

1975 season opener 

that followed Baylor’s 

1974 Southwest Conference 

championship 

season, the Bears’ 

second in a half-century 

of trying. That 

miracle-on-the-Brazos 

season was still much 

on the minds of the 

Green and Gold when 

the next season rolled 

around. 

A well-known Texas pastor, 

groaning for years when 

the Bears’ won only the coin 

toss, enthusiastically prayed 

for the Almighty to “make us 

humble.” 

Humble? Baylor? During 

57 5 years of Baylor football 

prior p to Teaff’s arrival, maintaining 

ta humility was seldom 

considered. c For the record, 

in 32 of those seasons, BU 

fi nished in the half of the 

conference that made the top 

half possible. 

Teaff wasn’t sure that he 

heard the words correctly, 

but he was sure that the Bears 

turned the ball over via fumbles 

six times that day. 

At the post-game interview, 

Teaff lightened the 

Don 

Newbury 

Idle American 

moment with reference 

to the prayer. “God’s 

getting’ on up there in 

years and maybe not 

hearing quite as well,” 

Teaff teased. “He obviously 

thought the 

preacher said, “Make 

us fumble.” 

The prayer Slocum 

most remembers was 

during the Aggies’ 

visit to Waco a few 

years later. 

Slocum, himself a churchman, 

found himself nodding 

in affi rmation of the preacher’s 

petitions. 

He wilted a bit, though, 

when it occurred to him that 

the man praying was HIS 

pastor from Bryan! 

The men were model 

coaching gentlemen, passionate 

mentors who were 

committed fi rst to building 

lives, then football teams. 

Teaff brought respectability 

to Baylor football, and 

Slocum remains the winningest 

coach in school history. 

Both have received highest 

professional awards and 

have come great distances 

from their places of birth, 

Teaff in Hermleigh, Texas, 

Monday, February 22, 2010 

Page 4A 

and Slocum in Oakdale, La. 

They are “as good as it 

gets,” and they “keep on 

keeping on.” Teaff is now 

executive director of the 

American Football Coaches 

Association, and Slocum is 

special advisor to the A&M 

president and works with the 

A&M Foundation. 

He also is the current president 

of the AFCA Foundation. 

In the words of the old 

cowboy trail riders, “they’ll 

do to ride the river with.” 

Recalled is a story about a 

fellow who said to another, 

“I’m praying for you.” 

“Good,” the other answered, 

“ ’cause I need the 

prayer, and you need the 

practice.” 

Sometimes, prayer lists 

are shortened. Uncle Mort, 

noting that Kenneth Starr 

has been named president at 

the world’s largest Baptist 

university, says Bill Clinton 

can put to rest any prayers he 

may have had for an honorary 

doctorate from Baylor.

Flexitarian can’t expect hosts to provide a special meal 

Dear Annie: I am 49 years 

old and have been a “fl exitarian” 

for 10 years, with fi sh 

being my primary protein 

source. My question is this: 

When I go to other people’s 

homes for dinner engagements, 

should they provide 

a fi sh entree (for me), should 

I be satisfi ed going vegetarian 

for the meal, or should I 

bring my own? 

My friends usually provide 

for me, as do my inlaws. 

But my parents and siblings 

do not. Even at holiday 

gatherings, I bring my own 

entree while the others are 

eating prime beef. 

When I entertain, I pay 

special attention to all of my 

guests’ diets from vegetarian 

to meat lovers, and I expect 

to get the same respect in return. 

Am I wrong? — M.F. 

Dear M.F.: Most fl exitarians 

are willing to try meat on 

occasion. We would consider 

you a pescetarian — one 

who eats fi sh but not meat. 

Those who know about your 

food choices should make 

some adjustment when they 

invite you. However, you 

cannot demand it. Your 

family members seem particularlyunaccommodating, 

but they are entitled to 

serve what they wish. Most 

vegetarians and pescetarians 

can fi nd plenty to eat in the 

side dishes. 

It is fi ne, however, to bring 

your own entree if your hosts 

do not object. 

Dear Annie: How do I 

deal with chain smokers in 

the workplace? My offi ce 

has a no-smoking policy, 

and our state recently passed 

laws to that effect, but 

we still must endure 

people smoking one 

cigarette right after 

the other. 

My fellow workers 

and I have made 

comments about the 

secondhand smoke 

and have posted various 

brochures and articles 

on the subject 

on the bulletin board. 

We have put up “NO 

SMOKING” signs, 

to no avail. Anything we 

do just seems to make these 

people puff more. 

You can always tell where 

smokers have been by the 

ash, smoke and cigarette 

smell. Heaven help the poor 

person who has to ride with 

a smoker in one of our company 

trucks to a job site 

when it’s below zero and 

you have to hang 

your head out the 

window to gasp for 

air. Past efforts to 

get smokers to control 

their habit have 

only gotten smoke 

blown in our faces, 

literally. 

The problem is 

further compounded 

by the fact that 

our company manager 

and other top 

company offi cials 

are also heavy smokers. We 

are hesitant to ask management 

directly to do anything 

about the smoking because 

of possible job repercussions. 

What can we do before 

we all die of lung cancer?

Kathy Mitchell 

& Marcy Sugar 

Dear Smoke: Unless you 

are willing to report your 

boss (and the other smokers) 

to the police for violating 

state law, there isn’t 

much you can do. If your 

workplace has a human 

resources department, try 

lodging a complaint there. 

Otherwise, you might get 

better results by talking to 

your boss, calmly and without 

judgment, explaining 

that the secondhand smoke 

is making it diffi cult for the 

rest of you to breathe and 

you’d be most appreciative 

if he would set a good example. 

Dear Annie: May I add 

one more response to “Going 

Gray”? I am 55 years 

old and lost my lovely red 

hair due to chemotherapy. It 

grew back a dull brown, so I 

started to color it. 

I later began dating Andy, 

who is 12 years younger and 

was already dyeing his hair 

and beard when we met. I 

never gave it a thought until 

he was admitted to the CCU 

with heart issues and the 

nurse said to him, “Gosh, 

it’s nice that your mother 

came with you.” 

I knew I had a keeper 

when Andy let his hair go 

back to its natural and lovely 

gray. We married the following 

October. (I still color 

my hair.) — Julia

Cortisone injections are appropriate therapy for arthritis 

DEAR DR. GOTT: I am a 

54-year-old female with osteoarthritis 

in both hips. My general 

practitioner sent me to an out-ofstate 

specialist who recommended 

cortisone injections. When I tried 

to have cortisone injections done 

by a local specialist, I was told that 

they would not help me because I 

don’t have bursitis. 

I am most uncomfortable when 

I stand still, sit or lie down for any 

length of time. Using a heating 

pad several times during the night 

helps alleviate the muscle cramping, 

though. I have more pain in 

my lower back/sacral area, knees 

and thigh muscles than in the hips 

themselves. Who is right? Would 

the cortisone injections really 

help? 

DEAR READER: I must 

side with the out-of-state 

specialist. Cortisone injections 

are often benefi cial 

as one of the initial steps 

toward relieving the pain 

of arthritis. A randomized 

placebo-controlled trial of 

glucocorticoid injections 

for osteoarthritis of the hip 

demonstrated benefi ts lasting 

up to three months. 

Over-the-counter medications such 

as acetaminophen, ibuprofen or 

naproxen, topical capsaicin or menthol 

ointments (especially those 

made with castor oil), and ice packs 

or heat may also provide relief. If 

Peter 

Gott, M.D. 

these options fail to provide 

satisfactory results, consider 

physical therapy, lowimpact 

exercise programs or 

enter a chronic-pain class to

DEAR DR. GOTT: Thank you 

for all your interesting questions 

and answers. I have questions 

about a condition I have never 

heard of — “spongiotic dermatitis 

eosinophils consistent with allergic 

contact dermatitis.” What is it? 

And what can be done for it? 

DEAR READER: Spongiotic 

dermatitis (SD) is primarily an allergic 

reaction that causes swelling 

rather than a rash. It can sometimes 

be associated with the formation 

of microvesicles, which are small 

fl uid-fi lled sacs. Eosinophils are 

a component of the blood, often 

found in elevated numbers when 

an allergic reaction is present, and 

can generally be used to determine 

how severe the reaction is. 

There are two types of SD. The 

fi rst is acute SD, which implies that 

the allergic reaction is occurring at 

that point in time. The second is 

chronic SD, which is present for 

an extended period. This type can 

also lead to permanent thickening 

of the outermost layer of the epidermis. 

The condition is an allergic reaction 

most likely due to a skin irritant. 

Plants, animals, chemicals 

and much more can cause allergic 

contact dermatitis. An individual 

with this diagnosis would probably 

benefi t from the care of a dermatologist 

or allergist.

The Plainview Christian Lady Eagles 

have already made it to the promised land, 

and now the Plainview Lady Bulldogs and 

Bulldogs are trying to join them there. 

The Lady Eagles qualifi ed for the state 

tournament by beating Wichita Falls Notre 

Dame on Saturday, 63-49. Plainview Christian 

plays in the TAPPS 1A state semifi nals 

at 5 p.m. Friday at Mansfi eld High School 

against Edinburg Harvest Christian. 

The winner advances to the state fi nals 

set for 1 p.m. Saturday at Mansfi eld Legacy 

High School. 

By RYAN BLAKE THURMAN 

Herald Sports Editor 

Not that the fi rst two rounds of the 

playoffs weren’t important games for 

the Plainview Lady Bulldogs, but this 

is when things get really serious. 

This is the regional quarterfi nals. 

The Lady Dogs are set to take on 

the Palo Duro Lady Dons in a Region 

1-4A quarterfi nal game at 6 p.m. Tuesday 

at Hereford High School, and Plainview 

coach Danny Wrenn knows this 

is when his team needs to step up and 

perform at the highest caliber. 

“It’s going to take our best game of 

the season,” he said. 

The No. 25 Lady Dogs (23-10) have 

played stellar defense through the fi rst 

two rounds, but they will have their 

work cut out for them Tuesday. 

Leading the way for Palo Duro (19- 

13) are a pair of guards Wrenn referred 

to as “two of the best in the Panhandle” 

— seniors Jasmine Patterson and Brianna 

Taylor. 

Patterson, a University of New Mexico 

signee, has been the Lady Dons’ 

go-to scorer all season, and in Friday’s 

53-29 win over El Paso Burgess she 

put up 16 points, just one shy of her 

season average. Also in the game, junior 

Moneeka Carter scored 15 points 

and Taylor added eight. 

Plainview counters with some fi ne 

guards as well, and Wrenn sees them 

being key factors. 

A send-off will be held at 11:20 a.m. 

Thursday at the school. 

Meanwhile, the PHS Lady Dogs and Bulldogs 

both face Palo Duro in a doubleheader 

Tuesday at Hereford High School starting at 

6 p.m. (See separate stories.) Fans are encouraged 

to wear red. 

Teams from Petersburg, Kress, Olton, 

and Floydada also are involved in the 

playoffs. (See schedule at the end of this 

story.) 

Winter weather could play a factor in this 

week’s events, although as of this morning 

only one activity — today’s PHS softball 

games against Seminole — have been 

changed. Those will be played March 18. 

“Our guards will have to do a good 

job of containing them,” Wrenn said. 

“You know you can’t shut them out 

completely. We’ll just try to give them 

different looks and confuse them. They 

are all kind of different players. Taylor 

is a driver and slasher. She can break 

you down off the dribble. One coach . . 

. said she just has another gear. Patterson 

is a scorer. She can shoot the 3 or she 

can just go by you with her foot speed. 

“We also need to limit their runs and 

slow them down. We don’t want to run 

with them all the time.” 

While Wrenn is concerned with the 

Lady Dons’ star players, he knows 

PD’s role players might be what makes 

the biggest difference. 

“We can’t let the supporting cast 

members get 10, 12 points,” he said. 

Defense, however, is where Plainview 

has stood out this post-season. 

Where Plainview most needs to improve 

is on offense. 

“We’ve defi nitely got to execute 

better in the half-court,” Wrenn said. 

“They create a lot of problems. They 

like to run a lot of zone. With them not 

being as big, we’ve got to try and get 

some extra shots. We need to shoot the 

ball well, get to the free throw line. 

“From here on out we have to play 

as well as we have all year long if we 

want to move on.” 

In the area round, Plainview only put 

up 35 points in a fi ve-point win over El 

Paso Chapin and made only one fi eld 

SPORTS 

goal in the fourth quarter. The Lady 

Dogs also didn’t have a scorer in double 

digits. 

However, the Lady Dogs were hit by 

bad breaks with injuries and illness. 

Senior guard Kyndra Jackson sustained 

a shoulder injury in practice 

Thursday, and Sandra De La Garza 

— among other Lady Dogs — was ill. 

However, Wrenn is hopeful his team 

was able to rest over the weekend and 

get back to full speed. 

Most of the season the Lady Dogs 

have had to contend with being outsized. 

However, Wrenn said PD is 

much smaller than the Lady Dons have 

been in the past, and the Lady Dogs 

will try to take advantage of the unusual 

advantage they possess Tuesday. 

“We really need to try to hurt them 

around the basket,” he said. “We might 

have a little size . . . our posts really 

need to whip their posts.” 

Senior post Dylan Chavez was the 

welcome surprise of Friday’s game as 

she led the Lady Dogs with eight points 

and six rebounds, and though she was 

ill enough to be out of the starting lineup, 

De La Garza came off the bench to 

score seven points. 

Wrenn said the Lady Dogs understand 

the challenges in front of them 

and know that it’s time to step up or 

they will be fi nished. 

“From here on out everyone we see

Time to get serious 

Dogs happy to be in 

playoffs . . . now what? 

By RYAN BLAKE THURMAN 

THURMAN 

Herald Sports Editor 

They may have arrived 

by a slightly different path, 

but the end location was the 

same. 

After falling to Frenship in 

a seeding game last Friday, 

the Plainview Bulldogs took 

the No. 4 seed from District 

4-4A, pitting them against 

the District 3-4A champion 

and 19th-ranked Palo Duro 

Dons for the bi-district round 

of the state playoffs. 

The game, the second half 

of a Plainview-Palo Duro 

doubleheader with the Lady 

Dogs, will tip off at 7:30 

p.m. Tuesday at Hereford 

High School. 

“First of all, you’re glad 

to be in the playoffs because 

there are a lot teams who 

would love to be there and 

aren’t,” Plainview coach 

Leon Hagerman said. “You 

have to play good teams 

somewhere along the line. 

We just happen to get PD 

right off. It will defi nitely be 

a great challenge for us.” 

The specifi cs of the bidistrict 

battle are the same 

as the hand Plainview was 

dealt a season ago, but the 

Bulldogs hope this sequel 

has an alternate ending than 

the original. 

In last year’s game, Palo 

Duro narrowly escaped being 

upset by the Bulldogs. 

Plainview had a sevenpoint 

lead with three minutes 

to play, but PD sank a couple 

of 3-pointers and then outshot 

the Bulldogs at the free 

throw line to earn a 64-60 

victory. 

The Dons went on to advance 

to the regional fi nals 

for the fi fth time in six years, 

losing in overtime for the 

second year in a row. 

Two starters returned from 

that team for the Dons (20-6), 

including 6-foot-8 post Michael 

Cobbins. Hagerman 

knows it will be key for the 

Dogs to keep the Oklahoma 

State commitment under 

control. 

“He’s a lot of what makes 

their team go,” Hagerman 

said. “He’s involved in the 

offense a lot, obviously, but 

he’s strong defensively and 

he controls boards on both 

ends of the fl oor. He’s also 

very athletic. He’ll play inside 

a lot, but he’ll step out-

side and shoot some, too.” 

Cobbins averages a double-double 

with around 15 

points and 10 rebounds per 

game. 

Hagerman also said the 

Dons have a good selection 

of guards that will keep the 

Bulldogs on their toes defensively. 

Trestin Clay leads 

PD on the perimeter and averages 

around 12 points. 

Offensively for Plainview 

(16-12), Hagerman said a 

lot of pressure will be put 

on their guards to take care 

of the ball because of how 

much pressure PD uses. 

“They are going to press 

hard for four quarters,” he 

said. “We’ll have to work 

hard to get the ball up the 

fl oor. It will be key to get 

across half-court, get into 

our offense and be effective 

running our offense.” 

Running that offense for 

the second consecutive game 

will be sophomores Jaylon 

Jackson and Josh Smiley, 

who have taken over for seniors 

Marquis Jackson and 

Bubba Wiggins who are no 

longer on the roster due to 

disciplinary reasons. 

Marquis Jackson was one 

of the team’s top scorers in 

the second round of district, 

so Jaylon Jackson along with 

Smiley will have to step up 

and put points on the board. 

Smiley led the Dogs with 

17 points Friday in the loss 

to Frenship and was joined 

in double fi gures by Jaylon 

Jackson with 10. 

Helping out Jaylon Jackson 

and Smiley will be 

Thomas Curry. The junior

Why is Bill Coleman running for Hale County Judge? 

After retiring from a long and rewarding career I wish to 

continue my service to the community. I have the energy and 

the experience to faithfully serve the citizens of Hale County 

in the capacity of Hale County Judge. 

What are Bill Coleman’s qualifications? 

I have 37 years of experience in the county and district court 

systems, over 31 of them in an administrative position. I have 

worked directly with elected officials and citizen groups at 

the city, county, and state level. I have demonstrated and 

developed my leadership skills both within my profession and 

in the community. 

What are the major issues facing the Hale County 

Judge’s office and how will Bill Coleman address them? 

The major issue is currently the lack of cooperation between 

the Hale County Judge’s office and the Commissioner’s Court. 

If elected my primary goal will be to restore unity and respect 

to the Commissioner’s Court. The role of the County Judge 

should be about leadership and teamwork. As an effective 

leader I will open issues for discussion, listen respectfully 

to differing opinions and guide the formation of a plan that 

benefits all the players.

Lady Dogs win Silver championship 

LUBBOCK — The Plainview Lady Bulldog 

softball team won the Silver Bracket last 

weekend at the Prairie Dog Classic here. 

After beating Palo Duro, 11-0, and losing 

to Monterey, 4-1, and Alpine, 6-3, on Thursday, 

Plainview came back to win three of its 

next four games. 

On Friday the Lady Dogs lost to Estacado, 

8-5, and beat PD again, 11-2. Then on Saturday 

Plainview came from behind twice in 

victories over Dumas, 12-5 in extra innings, 

and Amarillo High, 6-5.

U.S. repeats Miracle on Ice 

VANCOUVER, British Columbia 

(AP) — The United States pulled 

off the biggest Olympic hockey upset 

since the Miracle on Ice, stunning 

Canada 5-3 to advance to the 

quarterfinals. The Americans quieted 

a raucous, pro-Canada crowd that 

came to cheer its dream team, only 

to see it upstaged by a bunch of unproven 

kids. One day short of the 30th 

anniversary of the country’s greatest 

hockey victory — the unfathomable 

win over the Soviet Union in Lake 

Placid — these underrated Americans 

were faster, more disciplined and 

more determined than Canada’s collection 

of all-stars. 

The United States enters the quarterfinals 

as the top-seeded team. Sweden 

is second, followed by Russia and 

Finland. 

Meanwhile, Bode Miller, four years 

after bombing out at the Turin Games, 

finally won his elusive gold medal, using 

a blistering slalom run to complete 

one of the most unlikely Olympic comebacks.

Sunday: Orlando 101, Cleveland 

Dogs 

isn’t always a big threat to 

put up points, but his rebounding 

and defense is 

where Hagerman said Curry 

must fi ll a void. 

In addition to executing 

well offensively, Hagerman 

said controlling the fl ow of 

the game will be key. 

“Controlling the tempo 

will be really important for 

us,” he said. “We will need to 

keep them in a slower-paced 

game. We can’t let them run 

up and down the fl oor. That’s 

what they thrive on, that’s 

their style. We kind of like 

to play that way, but with 

things that have gone on, we 

have to take care of the ball 

more, slow things down and 

focus on defense.” 

The Dogs and Dons 

haven’t played this season, 

but they do have a common 

opponent in Lubbock Trinity 

Christian. 

PD beat Trinity in Amarillo 

but fell to the Lions 

coach Stan Countryman said. “We were 

down 4-1 to Dumas and 5-0 to Amarillo.” 

Andi Hinojos hit a three-run, extra-inning 

home run to spark Plainview against Dumas. 

Tina Romero was the winning pitcher. 

Cassandra Chavez picked up the win 

against Amarillo. 

The Lady Dogs (5-3) were scheduled to 

host Seminole today, but that game has been 

rescheduled for March 18 due to the threat 

of bad weather. The Lady Dogs compete in a 

tournament in El Paso with their fi rst outing 

at 11 a.m. Thursday.

in Lubbock. Plainview and 

Trinity also split games as 

Trinity beat the Dogs a couple 

of times away from the 

DogHouse, but when the Lions 

ventured onto the Dogs’ 

homecourt Plainview came 

away with a victory. 

But, as last year’s game 

proved, history means little 

in the playoffs, and the game 

can change in as little as 

three minutes. 

The winner will get either 

El Paso Chapin (18-13) or El 

Paso Parkland (18-1), who 

play at 8 tonight in El Paso.

“My opponent has promised to bring back the associate judge 

which will cost the taxpayers thousands of extra dollars.” (Ed 

Self, Plainview Daily Herald, Sunday, February 14, 2010) 

At no time did I ever promise to bring back associate judges. On my web site in 

January, I said the following: “I would look at transferring this docket (CPS cases) 

back to the respective associate judges.” The truth is that reinstating associate 

judges would not necessarily cost voters a dime and my opponent certainly 

knows this. But in an apparent attempt to scare voters through the quote above 

and in private correspondence, he has mischaracterized my statement that I 

would ‘look at’ this change as a ‘pledge’ or a ‘promise’. He also claims in his 

various ads that he knows and strictly follows the Code of Judicial Conduct.” 

The Code of Judicial Conduct says, “A judge shall not knowingly or recklessly 

misrepresent the present position or other fact concerning the candidate or an 

opponent.” 

Judge for yourselves – When Judge Self tells voters that I “promised” or 

“pledged” to reinstate the associate judges, is he strictly following the Code of 

Judicial Conduct, or is he knowingly or recklessly misrepresenting the present 

position of his opponent?

Oswald’s now offers janitorial supplies 

You’ve relied on Oswald’s for quality printing, 

offi ce supplies and offi ce furniture for the past 50 

years. 

Now you can count on them for janitorial supplies, 

too! 

If it has to do with cleaning, Oswald’s offers it. Everything 

from cleaners to mops and brooms to paper 

towels — you name it — Oswald’s can bring it right 

to your door. And, chances are, they can save 

you money over your current janitorial supplies. 

Art McIntee (you might recognize 

him from serving 

in local law enforcement) 

is Oswald’s 

janitorial supply sales 

person, and he wants to 

discuss your janitorial 

supply needs. 

Just call 293-4233 and 

ask to speak to Art. 

He’ll tell you how 

he can make buying 

janitorial supplies 

easier — and less ex-

pensive — than ever 

before. 

Art is especially excited 

about a product 

called PortionPac. Oswald’s 

is one of only 

three places in Texas 

you can buy it. 

PortionPac is pre-measured solutions 

that will help you save on storage 

space, improve performance and, most 

importantly, it’s guaranteed to save you 

money!

Art McIntee can tell you 

how Oswald’s will make 

buying janitorial supplies 

easier and less expensive 

than ever before. 

“It’s an awesome product,” Art says. “It’s highly-concentrated 

so it cleans like crazy. Plus it will 

put money back in your pocket.” 

PortionPac, founded in 1964, was the fi rst company 

to market maximum concentrated cleaning 

formulations. Instead of ready-to-use detergents 

or traditional 20-to-1 dilution ratios, PortionPac 

formulations were 256-to-1 — more than 10 times 

more concentrated. That means better performance 

and savings! 

PortionPac’s premeasured, colorcoded, 

“stupid-proof” system helps 

custodians accurately dilute detergents, 

ensuring that only the proper 

amounts are used. 

Only two or three PortionPac 

products are needed for 85 percent 

of most daily cleaning programs. 

Over-bought and over-used chemicals 

hurt your cleaning program 

and negatively impact the environment. 

Art said PortionPac is much 

safer than other harsh products. 

“It’s perfect for day care facili- 

ties,” he said, pointing out the 

many germs the products kill and 

diseases they help prevent. 

He’s already selling Portion- 

Pac to banks, churches and jails, 

and he’d like to tell you how Oswald’s 

can improve your janitorial 

supply system. It’s event great for household 

use! 

If you’re interested in improving your 

cleaning effectiveness, helping the environment 

and saving money, give Art at Oswald’s a call at 

293-4233. He can’t wait to tell you about PortionPac! 

Jack Oswald’s fi rst day in 

business at Oswald Printing 

was Feb. 1, 1960. 

Lots of things have 

changed over the past 50 

years, including the fact 

Doug Barnes now owns the 

business. 

But one thing that hasn’t 

changed is Oswald Printing 

and Offi ce Supply’s commitment 

to provide quality 

products and fast, friendly 

service. 

They are upgrading their 

printing plant with newer, 

state-of-the-art equipment. 

“We appreciate your loyalty 

the past 50 years and 

hope we can keep it for 50 

more,” Barnes said. Oswald Printing owner Doug Barnes (left) with founder Jack Oswald.

How it works: 

How it works: Sudoku puzzles 

are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken 

down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a 

sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must 

fi ll each row, column and box. Each 

number can appear only once in each 

column and box. You can fi gure out 

the order in which the numbers appear 

by using the numeric clues already 

provided in the boxes. The more numbers 

you name, the easier it gets to 

solve the puzzle.

Cop killer won’t get new trial 

WASHINGTON (AP) 

— The Supreme Court has 

reversed a lower court decision 

that gave a new trial to 

a man convicted of killing a 

police offi cer in Texas. 

The high court today ordered 

the 5th U.S. Circuit 

Court of Appeals to reconsider 

its decision that Anthony 

Cardell Haynes should 

get a new trial or be released 

from death row. 

The New Orleans-based 

federal appeals court had 

ordered Haynes retried or released 

because a prospective 

juror was improperly excluded 

from his trial because 

of race. 

Hayes was convicted for 

the 1998 fatal shooting of 

police Sgt. Kent Kincaid. 

The high court said the 

5th Circuit misinterpreted 

a Supreme Court ruling in 

its decision to order a new 

trial.

Teens hit by train ignored warnings 

MELBOURNE, Fla. (AP) 

— A “no trespassing” sign 

warned four teenagers in 

Florida not to walk onto the 

railroad trestle where they 

were joking around and taking 

pictures. A fi sherman 

along the banks of the creek 

also told them to be careful. 

The fi nal warning was the 

howling whistle of an oncoming 

train. They tried to 

heed the piercing alarm, but 

loss without plugging-up the ear canal. It 

lets natural sounds just pass through the ear 

canal unamplified and gives a hi-fidelity 

boost only to soft speech sounds. Another of 

the industry’s most advanced hearing aids 

offers clarity, convenience, style and superior 

performance on every level. It offers a 

more natural hearing than ever before. It’s 

guaranteed not to whistle or squeal and gives 

you the ability to hear on the telephone like 

never before. 

Call Livingston Hearing Aid Center to see 

if you qualify to participate in this study.
