HPU students honored at festival BY CANDACE COOKSEY FULTON BROWNWOOD BULLETIN
Two Howard Payne University theater students were recognized for their “outstanding achievement in acting” earlier this month at the Christian University Theatre Festival, held at Wayland Baptist University, Plainview. In addition to the “outstanding achievement” recognition going to actors Rivers Shotwell,
who played Hal and Hannah Jansen who played Madge in HPU’s festival play, “Picnic,” the company also received an outstanding achievement in makeup award. Plus, the outstanding achievement as festival performer award went to HPU theatre director, Dr. Nancy Jo Humfeld. “I was so proud of our students and delighted that they were recognized as outstand-
ing,” Humfeld said. “The award I received was just a reflection of their fine work. This is a great group of young people who worked together so well as an ensemble. They were a joy to be with and were a credit to our university. We had a wonderfully productive trip which was both educational SEE HPU, 2A

The state is owed $17,500 from the bond forfeiture of medical marijuana user Chris Diaz, who was a no-show at his Jan. 18, 2011, trial, District Judge Steve Ellis has ruled. District Attorney Micheal Murray’s office sought the entire amount of the bond — $35,000 — from A-Action Bail Bonds, but Ellis reduced the amount by half. Ellis’ ruling also means that Diaz’s grandparents, Stephen and Geraldine Martin of Amarillo, will likely have to pay the money. Stephen Martin testified in a March 15 bond hearing that he and his wife had co-signed the bond to get their grandson out of the Brown County Jail in September 2010. Martin said he had done so against his better judgment. He had resisted signing it but gave in to the pleas of his wife of 50 years, Martin said. Ellis ruled that A-Action Bail Bonds “is entitled to recover and granted a judgment against indemnitors and guarantors Stephen and Geraldine Martin.” Diaz, 22, is back in custody. But according to state law, the state can collect the entire bond amount from the bonding company — A-Action, owned by Glynn Franklin — if a defendant jumps bail and is not back in custody within 270 days.

Coers has a lot to love about homeschooling MEET YOUR NEIGHBOR
BY CANDACE COOKSEY FULTON BROWNWOOD BULLETIN
For Amanda Coers, there’s a lot to love about homeschooling your children. There’s also a lot of responsibility and at least an occasional twinge of pressure. Coers has been teaching her three children at home since the oldest, Rowena, was in fifth grade. Now she’s an eighth-grader. Brother Daniel is in seventh grade and Vivian, 11, is a sixth-grader. Baby sister Abigail, 10 months, may cruise around the Coers’ classroom between naps, but her formal education hasn’t begun. She’ll likely be in school with her twin siblings, a brother and sister due in July. Coers said without qualification, her favorite part of homeschooling is the fact there is enough time and a flexible schedule in learning experiences. Well, plus the mother-child bonding homeschooling provides her, she said. “My favorite part of the process,” Coers said “is that we set our own schedule and explore our own interests. If the kids have a particular interest or talent we can take time to explore that which is enjoyable as well as rewarding for them and me.” Coers said there are sev-

according to state law, the court can, on its own discretion, grant a “remittitur” or reduction in part or in the entire amount. The state wanted the entire amount, Assistant District Attorney Tommy Adams told Ellis at the March 15 bond hearing. Adams said A-Action hadn’t done enough to try to find Diaz after Diaz skipped his trial date. Franklin’s attorney, Dana Smith, asked Ellis to grant a remittitur for the entire amount. Smith argued that no one has been financially injured “other than Franklin and maybe the integrity of the system when someone doesn’t show up.” And Martin’s attorney, Roger Moore of Austin, said it was Martin who’d be liable for the money. “Mr. Diaz, who ran, won’t have to pay that,” Moore told Ellis. “We’d ask that the court, frankly, show mercy.” The Martins indemnified A-Action “from any loss suffered by (A-Action) because of entering into and making bond for Chris Diaz,” court documents state. Martin said at the bond hearing that he knew he‘d be liable for whatever amount the judge ruled. “I signed the bond and I feel responsible,” Martin said. “It definitely was a mistake, I feel like.” The money collected will go into the general fund of the county.

The Texas Legislature does not reconvene until January, and Republican majorities control both houses. But Democrats, nonetheless, have promised to make increasing state spending on education a priority. “We love Texas so much, but we don’t love what’s been done to it,” said U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, an Austin Democrat who steered federal stimulus money to Texas schools in the past, but won’t be able to do so anymore since all stimulus funds have been spent. When crafting its two-year budget last summer, the state Legislature voted to pump an additional $1.5 billion into the account used to fund public schools, but made slightly more than that in cuts elsewhere.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — More than 1,000 teachers, students and administrators from schools across Texas rallied Saturday at the state Capitol to decry $5.4 billion in cuts to public education and demand that lawmakers restore some of that funding — or at least not impose another round of cuts next year. The demonstrators, who also included parents and a number of Democratic lawmakers, marched through downtown, than gathered under the Capitol’s pink dome for nearly three hours. They chanted “Save Texas Schools!” and held up signs that read: “Cuts hurt kids,” ‘’You get what you vote for,” and “If you can’t read this, thank your congressman.” Another sign read “Perry F-” and implied that Republican Gov. Rick Perry would receive a failing grade for his role in the cuts. A student band from McNeil High School in Round Rock, just

Few U.S. cities prepared for aging baby boomers COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Few communities have started to think long term about how to plan and redesign services for aging baby boomers as they move out of the workforce and into retirement. Even more troubling, dwindling budgets in a tight economy have pushed communities to cut spending on delivering meals to the homebound and shuttling folks who can no longer drive to grocery stores and doctor’s offices. These cuts, advocates for older Americans say, are coming when the services are needed more than ever. And those needs will grow tremendously over the next two decades. The nation’s population of those 65 and older will double between 2000 and 2030, according to the federal Administration on Aging. That adds up to one out of every five Americans — 72.1 million people. Just eight years from now, researchers say, a quarter of all Ohio’s residents in half of the state’s counties will be 60 or older. Arizona and Pennsylvania project that one in four of its residents will be over the age of 60 by 2020. “The bottom line is, the baby boomers are hitting,” Chuck Gehring of LifeCare Alliance, an agency serving seniors in central Ohio, told The Columbus Dispatch. “Are communities prepared for this? No.”
Six years ago, the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging said less than half of cities it surveyed at the time were preparing to deal with the needs of older folks. It said the results “should serve as a wake-up call for communities to begin planning now.” Five years later, the Washington, D.C.-based group revisited the survey and found little had changed. There was still a great need for transportation and housing for aging boomers, it said. “There are a lot of communities that recognize they need to do something but haven’t done it yet,” Sandy Markwood, the group’s chief executive officer, told The Associated Press. Some of the changes cities can make include offering training to help older people drive more safely, installing road signs that are easier to read or creating ride-share programs, said Jo Reed, who oversaw the latest survey. The biggest reason why cities have made little progress is the economy. Nearly 21,000 times last year, drivers for the Licking County Aging Program in Ohio took elderly residents in communities east of Columbus to medical appointments. The gasoline bill has more than doubled in the past four years, topping $7,000 a month.
“With federal funding for these programs very flat, the burden is on local communities,” Dave Bibler, the agency’s executive director, told The Dispatch. Transportation usually tops the list of unmet needs in local aging-agency surveys, advocates say. Public transit routes and stops sometimes aren’t flexible enough; volunteer transportation networks are popping up in a few places but remain rare. “How do we keep people involved in the community once they stop driving?” said Cindy Farson, executive director of the Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging. “It’s one of those bottomless pits of need and demand. It’s going to take a lot of creative thinking.” Home and apartments will need boomer makeovers too. Two Ohio lawmakers have proposed a tax credit to install bar handles, light switches and ramps to improve accessibility in homes. Supporters say it will save money because fall-related hospitalizations in Ohio cost $298 million a year in medical costs. Communities can do some preparations on the cheap, said Henry Cisneros, the former mayor of San Antonio and the secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in the Clinton administration.

Why do island territories play key role in the GOP race? On March 14, the Romney campaign’s political director, Rich Beeson, sent out a message touting Mitt Romney’s recent delegate pickups. Yes, Rick Santorum had won Alabama, Mississippi and Kansas, Beeson said, but “Governor Romney’s wins over the same period in Wyoming, the Northern Marianas, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Hawaii and American Samoa have helped expand his delegate lead, pushing him closer to the nomination.” Indeed, in early March it was Romney’s wins in the island territories — Marianas, Guam, Samoa, Virgin Islands — that gave Romney the edge in delegates. And then, on March 18, Romney won the primary in Puerto Rico. It’s possible that if Romney finally reaches the 1,144 delegates needed to clinch the Republican nomination, his delegate margin of victory will have come from the islands. Which leads to the question: Why are places that are not states, whose residents cannot vote for president, and that have no electoral votes allowed to play a potentially critical role in selecting the party’s nominee? “I have no idea at all,” says a former Republican National Committee official. “I don’t know,” says a current RNC official. It’s not just a Republican thing; the Democratic Party also awards delegates
to the islands. And usually a presidential candidate wins by such a large delegate margin that the islands don’t make any difference. But maybe not this time. It’s not that the islands, or at least most of them, Byron York are so big that their voices simply must be heard. From an Associated Press account of the March 13 caucuses in American Samoa: “About 70 Republicans in the U.S. territory located 2,300 miles south of Hawaii met in caucus Tuesday. The six delegates selected at the meeting and three superdelegates to the Republican National Convention all said they would support Romney.” Just by themselves, those nine delegates, selected by a grand total of 70 participating Republicans, accounted for Romney’s entire delegate lead over Santorum in the March 13 contests. In the Virgin Islands, it appears Ron Paul actually edged Romney, 112 votes to 101 votes, but because of complex rules of delegate allocation, Romney walked away with seven delegates to Paul’s one. In Guam, Romney picked up nine delegates when he won unanimously, with a total of 215 votes.
The big prize, at least in the number of votes, was the Northern Marianas, where Romney won another nine delegates on the strength of 740 votes. “The Northern Mariana Islands may be far away from the mainland, but one of the great things about our democracy is that every voice has a chance to be heard in selecting a presidential candidate,” Romney said in a victory statement. If those results trouble any Republicans, they shouldn’t blame Romney. He’s just playing by the party rules. And playing smart, sending Romney’s son Matt to campaign in the Northern Marianas and in Guam just before the caucuses. The 18-0 delegate pickup in those two places alone eclipsed Romney’s delegate margin of victory in Michigan and Ohio combined, where more than 2 million votes were cast. Should the non-voting islands have such power? “There really is no purpose to it,” says David Norcross, former general counsel and chairman of the RNC rules committee. “There is no, in my mind, particularly compelling argument for it.” With the exception of American Samoa, people born in the islands are U.S. citizens. But the Constitution gives none of these non-states the right to choose a president. Their situation is comparable to that of the District of Colum-
bia, whose residents could not vote for president before 1964. It took the 23rd Amendment to change that; no such amendments are in the offing for the island territories. Delegates in the GOP presidential race, however, are controlled by the Republican National Committee. “The residents of the islands are U.S. citizens who are active and engaged members of the RNC,” a committee spokesman says, “and part of the primary process that will produce the next president of the United States.” The RNC’s statement doesn’t explain why the policy is what it is, but of course there are political reasons. For example, there’s no doubt the Puerto Rico primary was closely watched by Puerto Ricans in the United States — in places like the I-4 corridor in the critical swing state of Florida, which Republicans need to win in November. Island delegates have also played key roles in electing RNC leadership; recent chairman Michael Steele owed his victory to island support. But the presidency? It could be that by the end of this primary season, places like the Marianas and Samoa will be key factors in choosing the next resident of the White House.

Real change that is taking America left
Events that can change lives Check your 2011 calendars, and you’ll see that one year ago this weekend, Brownwood residents poured into the Dorothy McIntosh Fine Arts Center at Brownwood High School for almost a day-long series of presentations in front of state officials in support of the Ron Jackson State Juvenile Correctional Complex, Units I and II. Fast-forward to this weekend, and much has changed. The decisions on which units of the Texas Youth Commission to close were made last summer, and they included Ron Jackson Unit II. Layoffs and staff transfers are behind us. And the TYC has been merged with the juvenile probation commission to become the new Texas Juvenile Justice Department. It was not good news for the Brownwood area, and especially bad news for the more than 100 TYC employees whose positions went away. But the facilities abandoned by the state will apparently find a usefulness. They are being considered as the new home for Brown County’s juvenile probation department. Such a move would free the current county facility on Houston Street for what a group of local residents believe can become a facility to help the area’s homeless. Planning meetings continue, in small and large groups, with the most recent being held Thursday morning. Possible grants to assist with funding have been identified, and the interest and eagerness to make this project a success are strong, based on the attendance at these meetings. No one involved in this discussion thinks such a project is a simple undertaking. It will prove to be a consuming endeavor requiring considerable resources of both dollars and human involvement. But it’s an issue that the community has pondered for years, wondering what it is we could do about it. Those who understood that the problem exists wished they had a way to respond. So perhaps soon, there will beThe prospect leaves some residents looking forward with enthusiasm, thinking how much the situation could change one year from this weekend. Brownwood Bulletin

Are you smarter than me, or I? Can you say someone is taller or smarter or wealthier “than me”? Or must you put it “than I”? In the last few weeks I’ve gotten a lot of emails from readers about a sentence in my column that said a friend of mine is better educated “than me.” Their responses ranged from simple curiosity to absolute certainty I was wrong. “You erred,’” one reader told me. “You should have written, technically, than ‘I.’” Was I wrong? To find the answer, you have to know several other things first, most notably the difference between conjunctions and prepositions. Conjunctions comprise a very large word class with some interesting dynamics. But for our purposes, conjunctions’ most important feature is that they can introduce whole clauses. “If you visit ...” “Because Bob is sleeping ...” “When the sun rises ...” In each of these examples, the conjunction is followed by a whole clause — a noun or pronoun plus a verb. Prepositions don’t work that way. Instead, a preposition partners with an object — usually a noun or pronoun: “with cheese,” “from Montana,” “until noon,” “to him,” “at her.” Now, remember that most pronouns have a different form when they’re working as an object than they have when they’re working as a subject. So after a preposition you’d always use an object like me, us, him, her or them instead of their corresponding subject forms I, we, he, she, or they. In other words, you’d say “with me” and never “with I.” You’d say “at us” and never “at we.” And so on. Now, let’s think about how “than” works in a sentence like “She is better educated than I.” Is “than” introducing a clause? At first glance, it’s tempting to say no because there’s no verb there. But, in fact, there is a verb — it’s left implied. “She is better educated than I am.” So in this sentence, “than” is working as a conjunction. That’s where a lot of people stop: If a word is introducing a clause it’s a conjunction and therefore can’t be a preposition. Thus, such a word can
never take an object like “me” and must always take either a whole clause like “I am” or, if you’re going to leave the verb implied, just “I.” Elegant as that logic sounds, it’s based on a faulty premise: the A Word idea that a word can be only one part of Please speech. Grammarians have been wrangling for June over the Casagrande centuries question of whether “than” can be a preposition as well as a conjunction. But strangely, the argument didn’t start until around the 18th century, 200 years after its use as a preposition was established in English. In 1600, Shakespeare himself used “than” as a preposition in the Julius Caesar line: “a man no mightier than thyself or me.” Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage” cites many such examples to reach this conclusion: “‘Than’ is both a preposition and a conjunction. Despite much opinion to the contrary, the preposition has never been wrong.” Many dictionaries list “than” as both a conjunction and a preposition. So you can pair it with an object like “me,” as it appeared in my column. But — a funny thing about that — I didn’t write “than me.” Though in casual usage, I prefer “than me,” it didn’t feel right in that particular piece. So I wrote “than I,” which is how it appeared in most versions of my column. But a proofreader or editor must have changed the version that went to print in at least one paper. Because my “than I” ran as “than me” — and I ended up getting a lot of e-mails about a mistake of mine that was neither a mistake nor mine.

When President Obama won the presidency in 2008, he vowed to bring real change in America. He has kept his word to carry out “Change you can believe in.” That change, however, is not what most Americans perceived. The actual direction of change has not been to rid Washington of corruption, as promised, but rather to change America from a free enterprise-based economy to a partner of the international socialist community to “spread the wealth around.” The evidence is in statements by men and women appointed by President Obama to carry out “Change.” Consider the following: Department of Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta recently admitted to Congress that the decision whether to send US troops into Syria will be made by NATO or the U.N., rather than the U.S. Congress (as stipulated by the U.S. Constitution); Department of Energy Secretary Dr. Stephen Chu stated that American taxpayers should be required to pay fuel prices equal with European motorists in order to be “fair” to the international community; Department of Education Secretary Arne Duncan is pushing USA schools to adopt the international core curriculum that emphasizes values and content common in European, Asian, and Middle East nations so that U.S. students ostensibly can compete in the world economy (even though many international academic standards are adversarial to traditional American values and beliefs); Department of State Secretary Hillary R. Clinton is of the opinion that U.S. foreign policy should be determined by consensus from the international community, rather than by Congressional leaders and U.S. Constitutional stipulations.

HP Provost Mark Tew publishes book on Luke UNIVERSITY NEWS SERVICE W. Mark Tew, Howard Payne University provost and chief academic officer, recently published his first book, titled Luke: Gospel to the Nameless and Faceless. “I was doing personal reading in Luke and decided to dig deeper,” Tew said regarding his research choice. “I had studied Luke before and knew the big picture. But the more I examined the Gospel, the greater my depth of appreciation became of Luke’s literary masterpiece.” The book combines a detailed examination of the Greek text as well as a fresh translation of the Gospel. Tew decided it was important to present the result of his Dr. Mark Tew critical study in a readable format. “In higher education, we are too often accused of being scholars writing to scholars,” Tew said. “My challenge was to communicate the results of a scholarly work in a way anyone could understand the timeless meaning of Luke’s Gospel. “The simple truth of all Scripture – the simple message of God’s love – requires no education, yet the study of Scripture’s beauty and depth can never be exhausted. It is a remarkable gift from God.” Tew’s book was published by Wipf & Stock, an imprint of Wipf and Stock Publishers. Order via phone (541) 344-1528, fax (541) 344-1506 or e-mail orders to orders@wipfandstock.com. The book is also available in HPU’s campus bookstore and at Hastings in Brownwood. A reception for Tew was held Thursday on campus.

say thanks for the publicity and a boost in sales. It all started when Mitt Romney strategist Eric Fehrnstrom was asked Wednesday about the candidate’s politics now versus next fall, and he likened the campaign to an Etch A Sketch: “You can kind of shake it up and we start all over again.” Democrats and Republicans alike seized on the remark as evidence that

Romney is a flip-flopper willing to alter his positions for political gain. GOP rival Newt Gingrich told voters in Louisiana that “having an Etch A Sketch as your campaign model raises every doubt about where we’re going.” Rick Santorum brandished an Etch A Sketch and told voters he is a candidate who stands “firmly on the rocks of freedom, not on the sands of an Etch A Sketch toy.” Santorum’s staff also handed out miniature Etch A Sketches to reporters. While Romney’s opponents are hoping the remark will erase his momentum and reframe the debate, the biggest winner might be Ohio Art. Its stock, which trades over the counter, nearly tripled on Thursday, closing at $9.65, and major stores reported a jump in sales, said chairman Bill
Killgallon. “We’re proud that one of our products is shaking up the debate,” he said. Ohio Art has sold more than 100 million Etch A Sketches worldwide since its introduction in 1960. The toy, with its familiar gray screen and bright-red frame, allows youngsters to draw things by twisting two white knobs. A quick shake erases the image and lets you start over. Etch A Sketches were made in Ohio until 2000, when the company moved production to China because of increasing costs. Over the years, Ohio Art and Etch A Sketch have benefited from millions of dollars in free advertising from movies and television. The company saw a big jump in sales after Etch A Sketch landed a role in “Toy Story” and “Toy Story 2.”

Duffer drives away with number eight See video at www. brownwoodtx.com
BY AMANDA LEIJA BROWNWOOD BULLETIN
With the help from her team of 100 Mary Kay consultants — also known as the Duffer Dynamite Unit — Mary Kay Independent Sales Director Bobbie Duffer received the keys to her eighth car at Bruner Auto Group on Thursday. “If it wasn’t for my team, I would not be getting my eighth car,� Duffer said. “This isn’t just my car, it’s our team’s car.� Friends and fellow Mary Kay consultants joined Duffer for a reception at Bruner Auto Group celebrating her new Mary Kay career car. Before getting the 2012 Chevy
Equinox, Duffer was driving a 2011 Chevy Malibu she had earned last year. Duffer started her career selling Mary Kay in 1987, and became a sales director in 1996. Since then, Duffer has been building up her team, which includes more than 70 consultants from across Texas. While most of her team resides in Texas, Duffer also has consultants in Ohio, North Carolina, Arizona, California and Oklahoma. “I do this because it’s fun,� Duffer said. “The freedom and flexibility is wonderful. It’s more than just make-up — it’s family.�

Newspaper finds suspicious test scores nationwide ATLANTA (AP) — Hundreds of school systems nationwide exhibit suspicious test scores that point to the possibility of cheating, according to an investigation by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The newspaper examined test results for 70,000 public schools and found high concentrations of scores in school systems from coast to coast. The analysis doesn’t prove cheating. It reveals that scores in hundreds of cities followed a pattern that, in Atlanta, indicated cheating in multiple schools. The AJC reported in 2008 and 2009 about statistically improbable jumps in test scores within the 109-school Atlanta Public Schools system. Those reports led to an investigation by Georgia officials, which found that at least 180 principals, teachers and other staff took part in widespread testtampering in the 50,000-student district. In Sunday’s editions, the AJC reports that 196 of the nation’s 3,125 largest school districts had enough suspect test results that the odds of the results occurring naturally were less than one in 1,000.
,W 3D\V WR 2ZQ 2UDQJH
For 33 districts nationwide, the odds of their test scores occurring naturally were worse than one in a million. Standardized test scores have been at the forefront of national and local efforts to improve schools. Test performance was the centerpiece of the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, which demanded higher classroom accountability. Tougher teacher evaluations that many states are rolling out place more weight than ever on the tests. But AJC report found that the sweeping policy shifts rely on test results that may be unreliable. While the federal government requires states to use standardized testing, it does not require educators to screen scores for anomalies or investigate those that turn up. “If we are going to make important decisions based on test results — and we ought to be doing that — we have to make important decisions about how we are going to ensure their trustworthiness,� said Daria Hall, director of K-12 policy with the nonprofit Education Trust.

‘Coggin Joggin’ deemed success SPECIAL TO THE BULLETIN Runners of all ages lined up on Saturday, Feb. 25, at Coggin Elementary to compete in the first Coggin Joggin 5K and 1.5 mile Walk/Fun Run. With the help of Coggin Elementary staff and students, event coordinators Brenda Hernandez and Amanda Neal put a lot of work into making the PTO fund-raiser a success. “Amanda and I, being runners, kind of had an idea of what needed to be done to make this happen,” Hernandez said. “Finding the route was a decision we had to be 100 percent sure about and making sure it was a safe route since we knew we would have a lot of kids running.” With more than 200 registered and 106 runners, Coggin Joggin provided several ways for the students to get involved. “We wanted the kids to have as much participation as they

“We hope to make Coggin Joggin an annual event,” Hernandez said, excited to see the number of families that participated. “My biggest highlight was seeing everybody run down the streets at 9 a.m. in the morning. I have to say I shed some tears,” Hernandez added. “It was great to see the community come together. We couldn’t make this happen if it wasn’t for them and our local sponsors.” Around 20 local businesses sponsored Coggin Joggin, and the proceeds will go toward beautifying Coggin Elementary.

Pope’s arrival in Mexico sparks emotion LEON, Mexico (AP) — It had become tradition in Mexico. Before daybreak, youths would creep as close as security permitted and serenade their beloved Pope John Paul II with a song of greeting and celebration. Now a new, less familiar pope had come, seeking to strengthen his own ties with the largest Spanishspeaking Catholic nation. So well before dawn Saturday, two dozen youths from a Guadalajara church group gathered near the school where the Pope Benedict XVI was staying. “We sang with all our heart and all our force,” said Maria Fernanda de Luna, a member of the group. “It gave us goose-
Coin tour opens here this week SPECIAL TO THE BULLETIN Brownwood is the next stop on the list for the International Coin Collectors Association’s world tour. During this event at the Hampton Inn, the ICCA will be purchasing coins, paper currency, gold and silver on behalf of their global network of collectors, dealers and refineries. This event is free and open to the public. Representatives will be at Hampton Inn, 1103 Riverside Drive, Brownwood, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. “We hope to spend at least $200,000 while we are in town by purchasing people’s old coin collections, vintage bank notes and scrap gold, silver and diamonds,” ICCA spokesperson Dennis Couts said. “We buy a lot of class rings, mismatched earrings and broken necklaces. Just a small handful of gold can add up to hundreds of dollars very quickly. I encourage everyone to clean out their drawers, lock boxes and jewelry boxes, and bring their items to our show for a free evaluation and perhaps walk out a little richer!” Traveling from small towns to large cities, the ICCA hosts hundreds of events each year where local residents bring in their precious metals, diamonds and paper currency to earn extra cash. While meeting one-on-one with each guest, the ICCA specialists review, research and evaluate the items and will make an offer to purchase all gold coins, silver coins made before 1970 and paper currency printed prior to 1934. The amount of the offer depends on the silver or gold content, the collectability, the rarity and the condition of the items. If the price is right for you, ICCA will pay you on the spot with no hidden fees. Keep an open mind when going through your attic and closets because something invaluable to you could turn out to be a sure novelty piece, Couts said. Whether you have an old pocket watch, a can of coins or a class ring from high school, ICCA will assess it and test it for free. “Junk” could turn into a fortune.

bumps to sing ‘Las Mananitas’ for him.” Songs, joyful throngs, church bells and confetti welcomed Benedict as he began his first trip to Mexico, a celebration that seemed to erupt spontaneously out of what had been a thin, sun-dazed crowd. As Pope Benedict XVI’s plane appeared in the shimmering heat of Friday afternoon, people poured from their homes. They packed sidewalks five and six deep, screaming ecstatically as the pope passed, waving slowly. Some burst into tears. Many had said moments earlier that they could never love a pope as strongly as Benedict’s predecessor, John Paul II. But the presence of a pope on Mexican soil touched a chord of overwhelming respect and adoration for the papacy itself, the personification for many of the Catholic
Church, and God. Thousands found themselves taken aback by their own emotions. As a girl, Celia del Rosario Escobar, 42, saw John Paul II on one of his five trips to Mexico, which brought him near-universal adoration. “I was 12 and it’s an experience that still makes a deep impression on me,” she said. “I thought this would be different, but, no, the experience is the same.” “I can’t speak,” she murmured, pressing her hands to her chest and starting to cry. Belief in the goodness and power of the pope runs deep in Guanajuato, the most observantly Catholic state in Mexico, a place of deep social conservatism and the wellspring of an armed uprising against harsh anti-clerical laws in the 1920s. Some in the crowd came for literal healing, a blessing from the

pope’s passage that would cure illness, or bring them more work. Others sought inspiration, rejuvenation of their faith, energy to be a better parent. Many said the pope’s message of peace and unity would help heal their country, traumatized by the deaths of more than 47,000 people in a drug war that has escalated during a government offensive against cartels that began more than five years ago. In a speech on the airport tarmac shortly after arriving, Benedict said he was praying for all in need, “particularly those who suffer because of old and new rivalries, resentments and all forms of violence.”

“The downer is we don’t get to meet many new people,” said Daniel. Added Rowena, “That I don’t get to eat lunch with my friends is the only part I don’t like.” Coers is well aware there are social and cultural areas in the children’s education that are important, and she looks for outlets. Daniel took Kung Fu lessons, but now is taking drum lessons. On Mondays he interns at the Community Gardens. “The girls and I look for areas where we can volunteer, too,” said Coers, “through church and other organizations.” Since she began homeschooling her children, Coers has been part of an organization, but last July Coers and other fellow Christian home schoolers organized a group to help
provide fellowship and support to home school families. Called Christians Offering Fellowship to Family Educators, or COFFE, the coalition offers opportunities for larger “group” events and activities and valuable communication between not just the students, but the parents. Coers said COFFE’s first major event is a homeschool student art fair, scheduled for the Saturday before Easter at the Art Center, 215 Fisk Ave. The fair is open to all homeschool students in the Brown County area, Coers said.

Dustin Cole (left) slides home with the Yellow Jackets’ second run during Saturday’s first game of an ASC West doubleheader between Howard Payne and Schreiner at Don Shepard Park. Howard Payne lost the first game, 8-5, but rebounded with a 14-7 victory. BY DERRICK STUCKLY BROWNWOOD BULLETIN
With their second consecutive series victory, the Howard Payne Yellow Jackets climbed into a three-way tie for fourth place in the American Southwest Conference West Division baseball race. The Yellow Jackets claimed a 14-7 victory in the second game of a doubleheader with the Schreiner Mountaineers Saturday at Don Shepard Park, after capturing the
first game of the series Friday by a 5-2. Schreiner avoided the weekend sweep by rallying for an 8-5 victory in Saturday’s first game of the doubleheader. Following the weekend results, the Yellow Jackets (11-14, 4-5) are knotted with Mary Hardin-Baylor (13-12, 4-5) and Hardin-Simmons (10-10, 4-5) in the ASC West standings. The top four teams from the West advance to the two-week, eight-team tournament, which begins April 27.
In Saturday’s 14-7 HPU victory, the Yellow Jackets scored all of their runs in the first two innings. Howard Payne opened a 4-0 edge after the first inning, but once Schreiner (5-21, 2-7) closed to within 4-3 in the top of the second, the Yellow Jackets fired back with a 10spot in the bottom of the inning. Howard Payne finished with 17 base hits, led by three each from Sam Dollahite, Jordan Hammontree, Ryan Abbott and Dustin Cole, followed by two from Tyrone Ahin
and one each from Colton Buzzard, Chase Holmes and Ben Butler. Hammontree collected four RBIs, Ahin added three RBIs, Dollahite and Butler drove in two apiece and Holmes and Abbott each tallied an RBI. Hammontree also scored a team-high three runs, while Butler, Abbott and Cole crossed the plate twice each. On the mound, Jonathan Morris picked up the win as he worked SEE YELLOW JACKETS, 2B

ROUND ROCK — The Howard Payne Lady Jackets earned their first series victory in American Southwest Conference West Division softball action, and moved into a tie for fourth place in the process, with Saturday’s 3-0, 2-1 doubleheader sweep of Concordia. Howard Payne (10-14, 5-7) and Texas Lutheran
(10-12, 5-7) are knotted in a fourth-place tie, one game behind third-place Schreiner (10-14, 6-6). The top three teams from the West advance to the ASC championship tournament April 26-28. After dropping Friday’s series opener, the Lady Jackets answered with a 3-1 victory, which gives Howard Payne a three-game win streak — its longest of the season. In Saturday’s 3-0 victory, Kayla Castillo tossed a one-hit shutout with one strikeout and one
walk. Kassey Shaw broke up Castillo’s bid for a no-hitter with one out in the sixth, when she managed the only Concordia (7-11, 1-7) hit. Offensively, the Lady Jackets picked up one run in the top of the first inning and added two more in the top of the third. Howard Payne chalked up five hits, led by two from Carissa Zarate, who also recorded an RBI. Katie Poerner, Jessica Morales and Evangelina SEE LADY JACKETS, 2B

Hatfield leaving Howard Payne women’s basketball program BY DERRICK STUCKLY BROWNWOOD BULLETIN
The last remaining piece of the 2008 national champion Howard Payne Lady Jackets basketball squad is leaving the program. Women’s basketball associate head coach Lindy Hatfield officially announced Friday she will leave Howard Payne to pursue a career opportunity with her family outside the basketball realm. “I have been given an opportunity to continue my working career with my family,” Hatfield said. “This op-
portunity has made my resignation a very difficult decision as my time at Howard Payne has been so rewarding and extremely influential in my overall growth as a young woman. I have enjoyed working for this university and being part of a very successful program. I feel so blessed to have had this opportunity and am forever grateful to Howard Payne and the administration.” During Hatfield’s time as an assistant with the Lady Jacket basketball program, Howard Payne compiled a 147-28 record. Hatfield joined the Lady Jacket program prior to the 2006-
07 campaign and helped lead HPU to four American Southwest Conference championships (2007-09, 2011), four NCAA Division III tournament appearances (2007-09, 2011) and one national championship (2008), with another trip to the Sweet 16 (2007). “We certainly hate to see Coach Hatfield leave, but do understand,” said HPU Director of Athletics Mike Jones. “Lindy has been a tremendous part of our women’s basketball program and the Howard Payne University family for the past six years and will be greatly missed. We wish her all the best in her new venture.”
During Lindy Hatfield’s six years as an assistant at Howard Payne, the Lady Jackets posted a 147-28 record with four ASC championships and one national championship. DERRICK STUCKLY | BROWNWOOD BULLETIN FILE

YELLOW JACKETS: Howard Payne rides 10-run inning to 14-7 victory CONTINUED FROM 1B
Kayla Castillo tossed a onehit shutout in HPU’s 3-0 victory over Concordia Saturday. The Lady Jackets won the final three games of the series for their first ASC West series victory in three attempts. DERRICK STUCKLY | BROWNWOOD BULLETIN
LADY JACKETS: HPU moves into tie for fourth after three-game win streak CONTINUED FROM 1B Tellez also collected hits, while Tellez and Haleigh Caraway chipped in RBIs. The Lady Jackets’ first inning saw Poerner lead off with a walk and eventually score when Caraway reached on an RBI fielder’s choice. During the third inning, Shandi Winstead reached on a two-out error and scored on Zarate’s RBI double to left field. Tellez then singled home Zarate for the final HPU run. Kat Moreno took the loss in the circle for Concordia. Howard Payne’s 2-1 victory saw the Lady Jackets tally a single run in each of the first two innings, while allowing just one run in the bottom of the fourth. Baillie Trumble went the distance in the nightcap and surrendered five hits with two strikeouts to notch the victory.
At the plate, Howard Payne generated six hits with two coming from Caraway and one apiece by Morales, Zarate, Tellez and Kimble Luna. The top of the first inning saw Poerner reach on an error to start the game, then later score when Morales also reached on an error. HPU’s second inning run was the product of a Zarate lead off triple, followed by a Tellez RBI single. Shaw singled home Lauren Vansickle in the fourth for the lone Concordia run. Teylor Schiefelbein was tagged with the loss in the circle. The Lady Jackets will visit Austin College at 2 p.m. Thursday in non-conference doubleheader action, then resume ASC West action the weekend of April 5-6 when Texas Lutheran visits. HPU’s West Division bye falls next weekend.
seven innings and allowed five runs on 10 hits with two strikeouts and three walks. Derrick Berlanga pitched the final two innings and gave up two runs on three hits with one walk and one strikeout. The Yellow Jackets’ four-run first inning featured RBI singles by Holmes, Abbott and Ahin, while Abbott later scored on an error. During the 10-run second inning, Hammontree launched a three-run home run and drove in a fourth run with a single. Butler, Ahin and Dollahite also contributed two-RBI singles up the middle. For Schreiner, Daniel Brewer took the loss as he surrendered six runs on six hits in one inning before being lifted. Offensively, Brad Thomas finished with three hits and three RBIs for the Mountaineers, while Justin Martinez, Chris Whitehead, Michael Kelton and Pete Trevino added two hits each. Curt Jaegar chipped in two RBIs with a base hit. In Saturday’s opener, the Yellow Jackets rallied from a three-run deficit and opened a two-run advantage in the bottom of the sixth, only to witness Schreiner score five runs in its final at-bat in the top of the seventh to snatch the victory. In the fourth inning, Holmes led off with a double to left center field and scored when Carlton Brown followed with a double down the left field line. In the fifth, Dustin Cole led off with a walk and eventually scored on an RBI sacrifice fly by Buzzard. Howard Payne’s three-run sixth featured a Butler one-out double to start the rally, followed by an Abbott bunt single. Cole followed with a bunt single and an errant throw allowed Kris Kloc, running for Butler, to score the tying run. Dollahite followed with an RBI infield single that plated Abbott with the fourth run, while Buzzard’s second RBI sac fly of the contest drove in Cole with the final HPU run. In the top of the seventh, however, a walk and an error set the stage for Thomas’ game-tying two-RBI single. After Eric Bukowski was hit by a pitch, Reagan Reed followed with a two-RBI single to push Schreiner back in front, 7-5. Kelton then closed the scoring with an RBI single to left field. The Yellow Jackets finished with nine
hits, led by two each from Dollahite, Abbott and Brown and one apiece from Holmes, Butler and Cole. Buzzard’s two RBIs were a team-high while Dollahite, Brown and Cole added one RBI each. Howard Payne will visit McMurry in a three-game ASC West series next weekend. Game 1 is slated for 7 p.m. Friday with a 1 p.m. doubleheader to follow Saturday.

RAINS STIMULATE WEED GROWTH Recent rains have greened up the countryside, and upon close inspection of the green plant material, many of those plants are what most folks in the cattle business would classify as weeds. If you are strictly in the cattle business, your first priority should be to grow grass to maximize pounds of beef produced per acre. Coming out of a severe drought, which we all hope we’re doing now, weeds tend to be a very common problem in our pastures. So if
your main goal is to grow grass, here are some tips to consider for effective weed control: - Identify the problem weed - Use a calibrated sprayer - Spray at the right time, at the right rate, with the right herbicide - Recognize that drought-stressed or mature weeds will be more difficult to control - Follow label directions for mixing, application and proper use. Now let’s take a closer look at some very important points regarding pasture weed control. Before you crank up the sprayer to apply herbicide, identify the weeds you are targeting. Not all weeds are created equal. If you need help with ID, there are multiple sources including some excellent web sites like rangeplants. org. Have you calibrated your sprayer? This should be done every season. Calculating the volume you spray is critical to know how much product to put into the tank. Ideally, you should be putting out 20 to 30 gallons of mix per acre. When you calibrate, also inspect nozzles, screens, lines, pump, etc., to make sure everything is working properly. Is now the right time to spray for weed control? Most weeds are best controlled when they are young and actively growing, while others such as perennials like Silverleaf Nightshade, are best
treated when they are in full bloom or have fruit on them. Spraying them too early results in a top kill, but regrowth usually occurs. Read the label carefully to determine timings for specific weeds. Which herbicide should I use? This is always a good question and one that takes some serious thought as it depends on the weeds being treated, and your surroundings (i.e. next to cotton field, etc.). For more specific information regarding herbicides labeled for specific weeds, visit the web site called PESTMAN. Not only does this website provide herbicide recommendations and estimated costs, but it also provides images of the selected plants. So you are a pro that sprays weeds every year, and think there is no need to read all of that fine print on the label? WRONG. Failure to follow labeled directions can lead not only to poor weed control, but also is a violation of federal law. Formulations and concentrations are always being updated, which could result in new application rates. If you are in the business of growing grass, you should know that research has shown that in native pastures, for every pound of weed controlled, you should replace those weeds with one pound of grass, while in improved pastures that can increase to one pound of weed controlled resulting in 4 to 5 pounds of grass produced.

Finishing fifth for the Lady Horns were McDaniel in the 400 meters (1:08.76), while Childs placed sixth in the long jump (15-4.25). Early’s JV girls finished second in the final team standings with 120 points, which trailed only Eastland (189).

Placing fifth were Cooney in the 1600 meters (7:02) and Sessler in the 200 meters (30.81), while King was sixth in the 200 meters (30.84). Early is scheduled to compete in the Goldthwaite Relays on Thursday.
Morgan Birrell won two gold medals for the Early Lady Horns in the 100 meters and long jump at the Eastland Relays this past Thursday. DERRICK STUCKLY | BROWNWOOD BULLETIN

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Brittney Griner capped a sensational performance with a two-handed dunk and Baylor stormed into the NCAA regional finals for the third straight year with an 83-68 rout of Georgia Tech on Saturday. Griner, who finished with 35 points, 10 rebounds and six blocks, got behind the defense and threw down her slam with 6:29 left in yet another rout for the Lady Bears — swinging briefly on the rim for good measure. It was the second straight game in which the 6-foot-8 All-American dunked and the seventh slam of her college career. She’s now tied with former Tennessee star Candace Parker, whose two dunks in NCAA tournament play had been the most. Destiny Williams added 18 points on 9-for-10 shooting for the top-seeded Lady Bears (37-0), who’ll play second-seeded Tennessee in the regional final on Monday night, the winner advancing to the Final Four. Baylor, the 2005 national champion, will be seeking its third Final Four appearance and second in three years. Tennessee, which has won eight titles, will try to get to the national semifinals for the 19th time. The Lady Bears took control with a 20-0 first-half run and never gave fourth-seeded Tech (26-9) a chance to answer back. Sharp-shooting freshman Sydney Wallace led Georgia Tech with 32 points.

‘Facing’ the problem of homelessness
His name was Charlie. He lived under a bridge in San Angelo. And that’s where, one cold February night in 1997, he died. A lady, who every morning bought Charlie coffee at the nearby McDonald’s, called me — I was a reporter at the San Angelo Standard-Times — and asked if I would help her write an obituary. The coffee buyer had a picture of Charlie, and when she showed it to me, I recognized him as one of the several who were usually at the underpass with cardboard signs offering to work for food. Several times, when stopped at the red light, I’d rolled down my own car window and handed him a dollar or two. The day of Charlie’s funeral, I met his mother at the McDonald’s and vivid in my memory still is her in her jewel-colored dress, walking across the byway to meet Charlie’s friends. When one of the men brought her Charlie’s sign, that petite, beautifully groomed lady asked The way i the friend, “Would he work?” see it “Sure would,” the friend Candace told her. “If people would give him a job, he’d Cooksey work.” I remember just as Fulton vividly, how later, sitting in a McDonald’s booth, the mother told me their sad and predictable story, and how after years in and out of rehab centers, she had finally accepted life under a bridge where friends are true and expectations are low had been Charlie’s choice. Clasping her work-worn hands around a disposable cup of coffee, she said, “It’s never been easy to know this was his life.” Thursday sitting with the several dozen assembled for the Brown County Home Solutions Coalition’s informational meeting, I thought of Charlie and his mom again. I realized a fresh understanding as each of the people representing the six agencies making up the core of the BCHSC spoke of the involved dedication for assisting the homeless with not simply a hand-out, but a help up. There is no one-reason-fits-all for the homeless, and of course, there is no-onefix-solves-everything answer. There are those, certainly, whose addictions have cost them health and shelter. There are those who suffer from chronic mental illness. There are those who were living from paycheck to paycheck already who were laid off from their minimum wage job, who Donna Harris, executive director for the local Salvation Army, said make up the majority of the local homeless, and there are those who have been injured or are chronically ill who have lost it all. In the fragile habitat of the poor and underprivileged, it is a practice that one family of four will become homeless, move into a government-assisted housing complex with another family, qualified to have four in the dwelling, and, when they’re found out, all eight are evicted. I learned Thursday those who would fall under the description of being homeless are living in cars, storage buildings, have been “put up” temporarily in a hotel by a church or relative. As of Thursday’s count, there are 36 schoolchildren in the Brownwood ISD who are considered homeless. No one in the room on Thursday thinks it can all be fixed. We realize if there were solutions to be had quickly, we’d already have them. Having the six core agencies — Central Texas Opportunities, Center for Life Resources, The Ark, Family Services Center, Salvation Army and Good Samaritan Ministries — united in a common goal for a solution, however, will reduce some of the major cracks in the systems and increase the expertise and focus on the problems and their complexities. Step one is always admitting there is a problem. Step two is accepting it as our own and step three is having willingness and desire to change the situation. So here we are. Maybe it isn’t realistic to think everyone can be helped and every situation ratified this side of heaven, but it is important to believe that there are solutions and people — living, breathing, heart and soul individuals — who can and should be helped. It’s even more important to try. Harris said, “People want to help, but they don’t know where to begin.” Let this be the beginning, and, pray, as Doak Givan suggested, “We should not grow weary in doing good.” Candace Cooksey Fulton’s column is published on this page in the Brownwood Bulletin each Sunday.

A walk through
Egypt Brownwood students bring the pyramids to life BY STEVE NASH
BROWNWOOD BULLETIN
What was really going on Friday morning in one of the long, wide hallways and in several classrooms at Brownwood Intermediate School? The curse of the mummy, tomb robbers, a Pharaoh’s tomb, an archeological dig. Small replicas of pyramids and sphinxes lined the hallway. And the strange attire of some of the students and teachers — was this a new movie about Indiana Jones in ancient Egypt? No Indiana Jones, just the sixth-grade Solid Gold Stars academic team’s massive project to create ancient Egypt. Weeks of research and putting together props including models of pyramids and sphinxes, wall art and replicas of tombs and mummification rooms culminated in a morning of well-coordinated, informative tours of ancient Egypt for students, teachers and parents Friday. “We tried to create something memorable,” Solid Gold Stars reading and language arts teacher Christine Moore said. “Kids came through 150 percent.” It would seem they succeeded. A declaration heard from many of the visitors as they toured the land: “This is amazing,” “I don’t know how they managed to pull it off, to be honest with you. You saw all the work that went into it,” one visitor said. All of the 80-plus students on the Solid Gold Stars team were involved in some way — some were tour guides who escorted small groups through the ancient land, and some portrayed pharaohs, princes, princesses and other characters of ancient Egypt. And while Ancient Egypt was a student project, it included the work of Solid Gold Stars teachers Christine Moore, Lori Deeds (math), Jan Green (social studies and language arts), Laura Scantling (science), Yvonneke Beelby (special ed) and Tim Swan (support). At the entrance to the Ancient Egypt hallway, Taylor Shearer greeted visitors, passed out flyers and directed them to enter a classroom where their tour would begin. The flyers explained that the Solid Gold Stars Time Travel Agency was presenting “Ancient Egyptian Tours.” You were about to “visit daily life to experience how the ancient Egyptians lived,” the flyer explained. “Brave the curse of the mummy, robbers and a pharaoh’s tomb. Discover the mummification process and why they used it. Trek through an archeological dig as scientists work to uncover our past.” A time machine, tour guides explained, would transport visitors to the ancient land. Several classrooms were decorated to

The couple spent their honeymoon in Costa Rica and now reside in Houston, Texas.
Mom wants grandpa to get a little closer DEAR ABBY: My daughter just celebrated her first birthday, and I’m trying to come to terms with the fact that my father isn’t a “baby person.” He has tried holding “Krissy” only twice. He and his wife showed up to her party an hour and a half late and left early. The gift they brought was for a much younger, smaller baby, and the price tag — from a budget store — was still on it. The gift cost less than $10. Dad and his wife are not poor; in fact, they are wealthy. Dad isn’t in good health, so I hate being mad at him. I don’t know how many more years he’ll be around. Should I talk to him about this, or just let him sit it out and do practically nothing to be a part of his only grandchild’s life? My in-laws are happily involved with Krissy. What do I tell her when she’s old enough to wonder why Grandpa never sees her? — MELANCHOLIC MOM IN MICHIGAN DEAR MELANCHOLIC MOM: If it will make you feel better to talk to your father about this, by all means do so. But keep in mind that he comes from a generation of men who didn’t necessarily relate to babies. Also, if he’s in poor health, it may be a reason why he’s not eager to hold her. It’s possible he may relate better to his grandchild when she’s old enough to talk and interact with him. Tackle the question about how to respond to your daughter when she’s old enough to question his absence if the issue arises. It’s possible he may no longer be around by then. And if that’s the case, hope
he’s more generous in his estate planning than he was on her first birthday. ——— DEAR ABBY: My mom is divorced. She lives alone in an isolated area and has DEAR ABBY been diagnosed with severe depression. About a year ago, Abigail Van while she was staying with my sister “SuBuren sie,” my sister looked through Mom’s online accounts and discovered that Mom’s fiance is a prisoner. She also saw that Mom has been using a service to send large amounts of money to his prison account. Susie has continued to log onto Mom’s account. She tracks the amount of money she’s sending this prisoner and reads the letters he sends to her. The content of some of them is scary. He insists Mom keep their relationship a secret, that she meet him upon his release from prison and marry him immediately. It’s apparent that I have two problems — one, that Susie is tracking Mom’s private dealings. The other, that my mother is sending money she can’t afford to a prisoner with a history of fraud and domestic abuse. What should I do? — DESPERATE FOR ANSWERS DEAR DESPERATE: Contact the warden of the prison, explain what has been going on and express

He was controlling, uptight and never let me out of his sight. When we divorced, I was happy, and I thought that would be the end of it. However, I find myself going back to him every time he calls, in spite of knowing who he is and what he did to me. Why can’t I get over him and move on? — BACK AT SQUARE ONE IN OKLAHOMA DEAR BACK AT SQUARE ONE: Possibly because you are co-dependent, have low self-esteem and are afraid he’s the only man you can get.

My idea of a good holiday involves live bait, a widebrim straw hat, and a comfortable canvass folding chair. If a crappie tugs at my line while I recline on a gently swaying fishing dock — well, it can’t be helped. Several years ago, however, my wife and youngest son talked me into investing valuable vacation time on an ocean cruise. It seemed a shame to spend five days on a boat without seeing a brightly colored lure bristling with treble hooks trolling behind, but keeping a stiff upper lip, I signed on. After all I was told they served 10 meals a day on those floating hotels, and that the nightly entertainment was said to be worthy of at least a look-see. In any case I eventually found myself being piped aboard a ship that must have been a city block long and at least half as tall as the Atlanta Peachtree Towers. You could put a jigsaw puzzle together in the time it took to ride one of the elevators from the lowest deck to a point where a breath of fresh sea air could be inhaled. Being a good sport and a modestly good sailor, however, I took it all in stride. I made it through the drill which showed me where to find my assigned life boat and how to install Back B-4 myself in their complicated life vest. I even paid attention to the rigmarole about all the fun things available to Paul Butler passengers. Let’s see, there were rumba lessons on deck 5, mahjong lessons on deck 9, and on the Lido some guy was carving a thousand-pound block of ice into something that remotely resembled a spouting whale. Oh yeah, you could also go to the ship-board library and check out a book. I suggested they inquire about one describing how to actually have fun. The good news is they finally blew the bugle for chow and we were told where to go for the evening meal. The bad news, I had to strap on a suit and tie to get through the dining room door. “Fine dining may only be fully enjoyed when one is properly dressed,” we were told by a guy mouthing a phony French accent and wearing black shoes and brown socks. “Theeze way pleeeze!” There were two evening shows to choose from and I suggested we go to the one claiming 60 beautiful dancing girls. Turns out most of the girls were at least 60. My wife thought it was funny. I felt betrayed. Next day we strolled the upper decks and eventually discovered the swimming pool. I was astonished at the dimensions — my guppies have more room to frolic. Even so hundreds of bronzed bikini-clad bodies came from every quarter to stake-out their square yard of deck space. Suddenly I see why the pool is small. No one bothers to get wet. Later I discover that bathing wear is apparently the costume de jure. No wonder young women can pack everything they need for a cruise in a make-up bag — 26 pounds of cosmetics and a two ounce bikini. Young folks seemed to show up everywhere in swimsuits including the dining room. Apparently coats and ties were only for old guys. Of course not every one who chanced to tan beside the pool was young or even shapely. There were scores of matronly women sporting two-piece bathing togs and strutting their stuff. One in particular, whom I would have classified as stout, brandished a particularly skimpy costume which left her constantly stuffing body parts behind straining strands or rayon. I nudged my wife, “Isn’t she supposed to be modeling up on the Lido?” My ribs were still tender a week later. Cozumel was smaller than expected. A rented jeep took us around the entire island in two hours. The result was a $250 sunburn and enough sand in my shorts to start an ant farm. On the way back another thousand pound chunk of ice had been secured and the swimming pool topped off with fresh water. Deja vous all over again! This year our kids suggested a white water rafting trip down some place called Hell’s Canyon. I said go for it — finally a trip where I can relax and do a little leisurely fishing.

Museum features Gen. Lee’s sword BY STEVE SZKOTAK ASSOCIATED PRESS
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The sword Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee had at his side when he surrendered to Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant is returning to Appomattox as the centerpiece of a new museum examining the post-Civil War struggle to heal the nation. The uniform Lee wore that day in 1865 will also be on display March 31 when the Museum of the Confederacy opens an 11,700-squarefoot museum within a mile of where the war effectively ended. The Appomattox museum is the first in a regional system planned by the Museum of the Confederacy to make its vast collection of Confederate artifacts and manuscripts more accessible. Only about 10 percent of its holdings are on display at any one time at the Richmond museum, located next to the former Confederate White House. The other museums are planned for the Fredericksburg area and Hampton Roads, perhaps Fort Monroe. All told, 454 uniforms, muskets, swords, documents, flags and other artifacts will be displayed at the Museum of the Confederacy-Appomattox. The town of Appomattox kicked in $350,000 for the $10 million project. Waite Rawls, CEO and president of the Museum of the Confederacy, said the museum’s message will reflect its location. “Appomattox is one of those words you can say anywhere in the world and people know what you’re talking about, like Waterloo,” Rawls said. “Appomattox is the very metaphor for the end of the Civil War and the reunification of the nation.” The museum about 90 miles west of Richmond will
chart the start of the war, its end and its impact on everyone from women to freed slaves. In returning to Appomattox, Lee’s French-made ceremonial sword is leaving its display in the Richmond museum after nearly a century. The sword is seen at Lee’s side in many paintings of the momentous meeting with Grant at Appomattox to sign the document of surrender on April 9, 1865. The Army of Northern Virginia’s formal surrender followed three days later, effectively ending the war that left about 630,000 dead. It is an enduring myth, however, that Lee offered his sword to Grant, and that his Union counterpart refused the traditional gesture of surrender. The sword has been freshly conserved after years of polishing had erased much of the golden luster from the brass. The nearly 3 ½-foot sword now sparkles, from the lion head on its pommel to the gilded
relief on its steel blade. It has an ivory grip. The sword was intended for ceremonial use. There is no evidence Lee used it in battle. The sword and scabbard, along with Lee’s uniform, were given to the museum by the Confederate leader’s descendants. The Appomattox museum will complement the attractions at Appomattox Court House National Historical Park, said the park’s historian, Patrick A. Schroeder. The 1,695-acre park includes the McLean House, where Lee and Grant met April 9. “We’re pretty excited about it,” Schroeder said. “It really gives people a reason to stay here.” Rawls is casting the museum as a stop for heritage tourists who can visit the national park as well as Poplar Forest, Thomas Jefferson’s retreat, Sailor’s Creek state park, and even more contemporary attractions such as the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford County
and the Robert Russa Moton Museum honoring the black scholar in Farmville. The latter chronicles the battle to integrate Virginia’s public schools. The sesquicentennial of the Civil War has increased visits to battlefields, including Appomattox and the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond. While it has seen a 30 percent increase in attendance, the museum is difficult to find amid downtown high-rises.

EGYPT: Sixth graders didn’t stop at merely studying the country

depict various aspects of Egyptian culture including daily life, beliefs and the mummification process. Students portraying the various characters told visitors about themselves and the roles they played in ancient Egypt. Toward the end of the tour, another time machine transported visitors to the site of a replica of a modern-day archeological dig, where young archeologists discovered and cleaned Egyptian artifacts. Moore said students started doing research a couple of weeks before Spring Break using iPods, laptops and books. She
said what the students learned and accomplished tied in disciplines including science, archeology, taking measurements, note-taking and report writing. About half-way through the morning, a busy Moore found a few moments to give an assessment of the tours. “It is going fantastic,” Moore said. “Everything is going well. We’ve had lots of support from the schools and from the community. It’s fantastic everybody’s working really hard and it‘s just clicking right along.” “We‘re having a great time. Everybody seems to be enjoying it.” Students had worked at home
to build the pyramids, sphinxes and other replicas of ancient Egypt with materials using “everything from sugar cubes, wood, cardboard, wafer crackers, just all kinds of materials,” Moore said. “They have learned so many different things. In addition to learning about ancient Egypt, they been learning about how to find information, how to use the information when they get it. We’ve been talking about citing resources. “They’ve been learning about science … how archeologists discovered what we know. They’ve been learning about measurements because what we do
requires (students) to measure and divide and do fractions. “They’ve been learning to work together and solve problems. When they come to us and say ‘how do you do this,’ our response has been ‘what do you think?’ They’re figuring it out. They’re learning how to cope and how to work with others and how to solve problems.” Around noon, the tours began winding down. As students in the “Daily Life” classroom waited for the last groups of visitors, teacher Lori Deeds encouraged them. “I know you guys are tired. You’ve done an awesome job and I’m proud of you.”

IF YOU DO, TOO, TELL THEM SO ON DOCTORS’ DAY, MARCH 30. Throughout the year, physicians impact the lives of so many of our friends and families, it seems like a single day of thanks isn’t enough to do their work justice. But then again, what could repay them for the lives they’ve improved, the fears they’ve alleviated, the pain they’ve eased and the care they’ve offered? For all they have done and all they will do, thank a physician on Doctors’ Day, March 30. We will, too.

YOU MAY HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF ITEMS GATHERING DUST
Almost everyone has something of value they no longer need or want: Inherited items, jewelry that doesn’t fit your style, watches that are old or even broken, silver pieces. Several items that might be useless to YOU... may be considered treasures by the collectors from our vast international network.
During the past few years, low interest rates, war and uncertain stock market performance combined to push prices of gold and silver to their highest levels in 25 years. We have studied the investment and retail markets for decades, and in the past during times of economic uncertainty (which is deepening now), there have been dramatic price declines in many areas of the jewlery, gold and retail markets.Which is why this may be the best time in decades for you to sell for some of the highest prices ever.

YOUR NEIGHBORHOODâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BEEN REZONED OR HADNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T YOU HEARD? When local governments make decisions they are required to publish a newspaper notice to let you know. But that could change. Local governmental entities across the state want to bury their public notices on little seen, rarely visited government websites. What you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know will affect you personally! If it is not in the newspaper, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about it.

‘Hunger Games’ draws record $68 million box office during first day
ANNIVERSARY
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The feast is on: “The Hunger Games” has taken in $68.25 million domestically in its first day, a record for a non-sequel. The Friday total for Lionsgate’s “The Hunger Games” was the fifth-best opening day ever and puts the movie on track for the best debut weekend ever in March. That record is held by “Alice in Wonderland” with $116.1 million. The big start should translate into an opening weekend of as much as $140 million domestically, according to Paul Dergarabedian, analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com. First-day revenues for “The Hunger Games” were well behind the record $91.1 million for last summer’s “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.” But “The Hunger Games” came within a few million dollars of each of the last three “Twilight” movies, whose opening days ranged from $68.5 million to $72.7 million. “The Hunger Games” stars Jennifer Lawrence as a teen forced to compete in a televised death match against other youths in a future North American society where a privileged capital city oppresses the people of 12 outlying worker districts. The film is based on the first book in a best-selling trilogy by author Suzanne Collins.

Vaughans celebrate 60 years Lee and Avis June (Barnett) Vaughan will be celebrating 60 years of marriage at a party hosted by their five children, Lex Vaughan, Loy (Tim) Akens, Lance (Kathy) Vaughan, Ladd Vaughan and LeAnna (Kenny) Lange and their nine grandchildren and eight (one on the way) great-grandchildren on
Saturday, March 31, 2011, at Lake Brownwood, Texas. Lee and Avis were married on March 29, 1951, in Coleman, Texas. Lee was in the oil business and during their marriage they lived in many countries around the world, finally making their home at Lake Brownwood, Texas.

a way to teach women the skills needed to enjoy outdoor activities. In Florida, three workshops are held in different parts of the state throughout the year. Organizers say the sessions are so popular they usually fill up just days after they are announced. Faulk’s 18-year-old-son laughed at her when she told him she was planning a weekend of camping in the woods. “He said, ‘You are paying money to do this, go outside? You don’t want to go to a Ritz Carlton?’” Faulk said. Faulk, who is from the Tampa area, took classes in archery, boating and firearms. Robinson’s schedule included a class in outdoor cooking. Robinson, who lives in the Atlanta area, had not been camping since she was child. But the two cousins, both in their 50s and in the pharmaceutical sales business, said they had a blast sleeping in bunk beds in a cabin shared with other women, hiking in the woods and experiencing the great outdoors. The program began in 1991 in Wisconsin after researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point studied why women were less likely than men to participate in some outdoor activities, said Lynne Hawk, an education specialist with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and director of the Florida program.
