4A WISE COUNTY MESSENGER, Decatur, Texas, Thursday, December 2, 2010OPINIONOTHER VIEWScademies focus on project-based learningy ROY EATONThe Northwest school districtas formed in 1949 becausearents and community leadersanted more for their childrenhan the tiny schools in Rhome,oanoke, Justin and Haslet couldrovide.Those pioneers in educationould be surprised and thrilledo see what the school district hasecome over the past half-century.he school district’s enrollmentas now soared to more than5,000 students, making Northestthe second-fastest growingchool district in Texas.The district now operates 23eparate campuses includingrairie View and Seven Hillslementary schools and Chisholmrail Middle School. All are locatdbetween Rhome and Newark.For the past decade, Northwestas successfully centered its focusn raising academic standards.any schools in the district havearned exemplary and recognizedtatus from the Texas EducationAgency.While I applaud the greatacademic success, my concern wasthat vocational education and thestudents served by thoseprograms not be relegatedto “second-class”status in a district sofocused on college preparation.It turns out that myconcerns were not necessary.Tour turns the tideDennis McCreary,the district’s assistantsuperintendent for facilitiesand construction, and I areserving on a committee to designa new outdoor learning centernear Justin.Dennis, a Wise County resident,invited me to tour the four new“academies” at Northwest andByron Nelson High Schools and Iquickly accepted. SuperintendentDr. Karen Rue asked to join usbecause, as she said, her “greatestjoy” as superintendent is tobe on campus with teachers andstudents.Those four academies, Dr. Rueexplained, are designed around“project-based” learning. In otherwords, the English and mathclasses in each academyhave a curriculumdesigned to “fit-in” withthe main subjects beingtaught in the academies.STEMThe Science, Technology,Engineering and MathAcademy is in a specialfacility at NorthwestEATONHigh School. It is headedby Josh Withers, a WiseCounty native and NorthwestISD graduate. Withers, oftenhonored as one of the district’s“teachers of the year,” is the son ofthe Rev. Jimmy Withers, the longtimepastor of the Aurora BaptistChurch and his wife, Brenda.STEM is designed for studentsinterested in engineering. Theprogram offers a four-year sequenceof courses which, whencombined with college-preparatorymath and science courses, introducesstudents to the disciplineof engineering. Students have theopportunity to learn about manyphases of mechanical, civil, electricaland aeronautical engineeringas well as other fields.Walk into the classroom of instructorPhil MacKenna and youare faced with an array of Maccomputers loaded with the latestengineering and architecturaldesign programs.Students are busy designing a“nose cone” for a rocket project.MacKenna was recruited by thedistrict in 2000 to teach architecturaland engineering graphics.AMATWhile it is hard for me to “picka favorite” of the four academies,my love for the news drew me instantlyinto AMAT – the Academyof Media Arts and Technology.Northwest High School PrincipalRose Brenner introduced us toJeremy Rawe, AMAT facilitator.Having been around a fewtelevision studios over the years,I was blown away by what Raweshowed us. They have a full-sizestudio with three cameras and atleast three separate “sets” to delivera daily web-based newscast,a “green screen” to help studentsforecast the weather and a setwith two lounge chairs where Dr.Rue delivers a monthly “state-ofthe-district”report.The studio is supported bya control room with the latestequipment, a smaller broadcaststudio equipped with digitalrecording capabilities and otherlaboratories concentrating ondigital media.Rawe explained there are “threetracks” for students in AMAT— the media technology track,digital graphics and animationtrack and information technologytrack.There is no doubt in my mindthat students coming out ofAMAT will have a real “leg-up” ontheir peers when they graduateand enter college — or when theygo to work in the industry.AMPThe two academies that seemdesigned most for “ready to work”after graduation are at ByronNelson High School in TrophyClub.

And thatmeans that every time I fly, whichis often, a Transportation SafetyAdministration (TSA) employeepasses a wand over my body to besure I’m not concealing an explosivedevice on my person. I’m usedto it, and I don’t complain. It’s theprice we pay for airline safety.I happened to fly on the daythat the new, more invasiveprocedures took effect. As I wentthrough the new pre-boardingprocess, the TSA inspector congratulatedme for not “going commando,”as he put his hand intothe waistband of my underwear.That’s about as intimate an actionas anyone can commit withoutgetting a violent reaction fromme, but I managed to restrainmyself.As bad and embarrassing asthis experience was forme, I wondered whatgovernment would evenconsider ordering a maleor female employee to puthis or her hands insidethe pants of an airlinepassenger before theyboard a plane.Wow, I thought. Theghost of Sept. 11 terroristour liberties once again. He mustbe happy over the results of hisact of murderous terrorism as hebakes in the fires of hell.After all, he inventedtoday’s TSA.The sad truth is thathe appears to have won— we are still not safefrom the crazies, and itis the crazies who are atwar with us.In 1981 when myfather, President Reagan,Mohammed Atta is probablylaughing out loudREAGANwas shot I askedthe Secret Service agentover what he accomplished whenhe and his fellow murderers droveairliners into the World TradeCenter towers. They not onlykilled 3,000 innocent people, butby their cowardly actions, theyalso provided a foreshadowing ofthe federal government curtailingin charge of my protection detailthat with their number of agentsand their training, how waswould-be assassin John Hinckleyable to get off as many shots as hedid and almost kill my father?His answer was simply thatthere is no training that can protectyou from all the crazies whoare willing to die in attempts tokill their targets, and they are ourdedicated foes. Abraham Lincolnknew this when he said that anyonewho was willing to die in anattempt to kill a president couldsucceed, as John Wilkes Boothproved in that hideous night atFord’s Theater.Political correctness killed innocentpeople at Ft. Hood when Maj.Nidal Malik Hasan gunned down13 people and wounded manyothers, despite the fact that hisfellow officers were aware of hisattachment to radical Islamismand all that it implied. It is thesame political correctness thatis stopping us today from doingwhat we truly need to be doing atairports and other public places:profiling all passengers.I unconsciously profile strangersI encounter and so do you. Itis well past time that PresidentObama and his TSA do it as well,and it’s just too darned bad ifanyone is offended.Mr. President, Israel’s El Al Airlinesinspectors routinely profilepassengers and keep their handsto themselves, and they haven’tallowed a single terrorist to boardtheir planes.

He missedmost weekend social events this pastfall, including the homecoming dance.He tried to balance playing freshmanfootball with racing this past fall. Hehad to miss an early season scrimmage.“I had to do so many bear crawlsfor that,” Andy said. “But you have tosacrifice if you want to make it.”His and the family’s time was justthe start of the sacrifice. Racing is nota cheap sport although sponsors dohelp pay part of the bill. During Hogan’sfirst year, as he learned the carand how to run it, he went throughseveral motors.Some runs are more expensive thanothers, especially if there’s a wreck,and he’s had a few. In one of the morememorable wrecks, he flipped eighttimes and broke the axle on his car.To his mother’s surprise, that wreckdidn’t end his night.“Thirty to 45 minutes later, he wasback out there racing,” Danko said.The bad wrecks don’t test the youngdriver’s nerves.“You can’t let a bad crash affectyou,” Andy said.Fortunately, this past year Hogankept the car on four wheels and inthe winner’s circle most of the season.In his third full season in the minisprintdivision in Kennedale, he wonnine times and captured the seasontitle by 111 points.He is equally as good at the othertracks he raced at.“This year, it all came together,”Tony said. “This year, we could go toany track and have a chance to win.He’s learned how to trust the car.”Making his title run more impressivethis year was the fact he did itcompeting against 2009 Devils BowlWinter Nationals champion KevinRamey and several other veterandrivers.“He’s good and has a lot of naturaltalent,” said Rawdon, who runs thetrack in Kennedale and has spent 30years racing across the nation. “Heshould be a big star soon. He can runwith the big guys. He’s already beenoutrunning them.”This past week, Hogan got a sprintcar.

He is now preparing to make thejump to driving a sprint car next year.Fast track to successDecatur teen drives to championshipBy RICHARD GREENEThe first time Andy Hogan got behindthe steering wheel on a race track, hewas not sure he would have met the requiredheight for a roller coaster at anamusement park.“I could probably get on a little LooneyTunes ride,” he recalls. “I was reallytiny. Everyone was like, ‘who is that littlekid walking around the go-carts?’”His first race did little to quell thequizzical looks.“I did awful,” Hogan said. “I hit everythingbut the light stand.”But six weeks later, he started winningand has never stopped. The Decatur14-year-old, who graduated fromgo-carts after winning three varioustitles, just captured the 2010 CowtownSpeedway championship in the minisprintclass.The boy racing among men now islooking to make another jump in classin January as he hopes to one day blazehimself on the fast track to a racing career.“I want to make a life out of it,” Hogansaid. “People make good money off of it,and I want to.”Since he was little, Hogan had a needfor speed. He first wanted to race fourwheelers,but it was not something hisfather, Tony, was too keen on.“He didn’t think that was safe,” the14-year-old said. “This is a lot saferthan motocross, and we go faster.”Seven years before he was eligible toapply for a driver’s license, Hogan beganturning laps at 50 mph around tracksin his go-cart. He wasn’t just driving; hewas winning.In his first season, Hogan won 40 featuresand three championships. At theend of the 2006 season, he won Rookieof the Year and the other drivers atKam Kartway in Rhome tabbed him asBest Overall Junior Driver.“Everything just clicked so fast,” Hogansaid. “It was hard to believe. Mostof the kids racing carts were my agenow, and I was 9.”After a couple of years of dominatingthe local cart ranks, it came timeto move up in class. It came with someurging from Bo Rawdon, operator ofCowtown Speedway in Kennedale.“Bo told us we ran off all his go-cartcustomers,” said Tony Hogan.So at 11, Andy stepped into driving amini-sprint car. The bigger, faster carsunder the right conditions can reach 90mph.“The first time in this car was kindof radical,” he said standing outside hiscar before turning practice laps aroundthe Tarrant County speedway.Andy had to learn how to drive thenew car against older racers. His father,who works on his car, had to learn to setit up for the track.“It’s all my doing with the way I setup the car,” Tony Hogan jokes about hisson’s success.Tony’s work behind the scenes is justpart of a family effort behind Andy as heheads to the track to race Fridays andSaturdays from March to October.

She knewinstantly that she had done more damageto herself than just the average fall; shehad actually fractured her right hip. Shirleycrawled back into the house and waitedthere for 4 hours until her family returnedhome. After undergoing surgery and somephysical therapy at the hospital, Shirley said,“I knew that I had to have additional therapybefore I could go home.” Shirley had heardabout Senior Care Health & RehabilitationCenter, a new facility, that had just openedand set out to investigate from her hospitalbed. After completing her homeworkregarding her next step to recovery, shewas ready to be admitted to Senior Care.“I knew that the emphasis would be placedon care,” explains Shirley; to her reliefshe was correct. After spending 20 daysat Senior Care, Shirley was ready to return home and back to herjob. If you think you have seen her before, you probably have; Shirley is the smilingface that greets you here at our Decatur Wal-Mart.

Redness and bleedingmay also occur as a result of scratching. As the disease progresses,there is also the danger that vulvar tissues will scar and shrink. Nomatter how mild the symptoms, the condition should be treated toprevent progression. The American College of Obstetricians andGynecologists recommends applying a potent steroid for severalweeks, followed by gently tapering off the medication.Today’s women are more aware of their body’s needs and the optionsavailable for continued well-being and healthcare. Our practice isdevoted to the care of women and finding the best solution to yourneeds. To schedule an appointment, call WISE OBSTETRICS &GYNECOLOGY P.A. at 940-626-8008. Our office is convenientlylocated at 1713 South Fm 51, Ste. 201, Decatur. New patients arewelcome.P.S. While the exact cause of lichen sclerosus is not known, thecondition may be related to a lack of sex hormones in the affectedskin or to an overactive immune system.
