By Brian Whitt, Eagle Staff Writer
This is a tale of two squirrels, a few elk, a moose, and a high-altitude traffic jam. Let me explain. With the last trip to Colorado winding down, I went moose hunting along Trail Ridge Road. No guns were involved, but there was plenty of memory card space for photos of the elusive creature. To date, I've been to Rocky Mountain National Park more times than any other park anywhere, other than Goldthwaite's City Park. Every time I've gone there, I've been on the lookout for moose, the last of the large land mammals (bear, bison and elk having already made appearances) found in our national parks. Time and again, I've come away without seeing one. Some folks seem to find moose without any difficul-
ty. My sister has seen them in various places including quiet neighborhoods around Granby. A lady I talked to at the park's visitor center had seen a herd of them. For me, however, they have been little more than a fable. The first day I searched for moose in August, I solicited hints from people at the visitor center. One of the attendants showed me a couple of places to find "maybe moose," highlighting them in pink on my map, and the previously mentioned herd-finder made it seem like a cakewalk. Armed with this information, I set out filled with
Brian Whitt confidence. The first mark on the map was mooseless, and the second turned out to require a longer hike than anticipated. Driving into the park from the west entrance, I kept my eyes open, watching both sides of the road and trying to spot excited groups of tourists snapping pictures. At one stop, I found people looking toward a tree-lined river bend where they said a moose had been spotted. I never saw it. Eventually, when driving proved an ineffective means of moose location, I stopped and hiked a short distance into the woods where I had seen other people go. After trudging down a slope to find nothing resembling a moose, I headed back to the car. Along the way, I spotted two squirrels playing, so I paused and stood still long enough to get photos of them, thinking they might be the only wildlife I found. Leaving the park that day, I saw another collection of folks gathered. This time, there was something unusual to see, a small group of elk, and so more pictures were taken. Once again, however, the hope of finding a moose had to be reined in. Entering the park on the nextto-last day of the trip, the plan was to drive the length of Trail Ridge Road from Grand Lake to Estes Park, something I'd never done before. Incredibly, upon nearing one of the spots I had passed again and again, I found another group of people watch-
ing something, and this time it was a moose. The cow grazed placidly beside a narrow waterway, and we had all the time we wanted to observe and take photos. Unfortunately, the impressive bull that shows up on many of the park's promotional items never made an appearance, but that was okay. A moose had been found. That goal accomplished, it was time to finish crossing the park. At the Walmart-sized gift shop about halfway across, I stopped and picked up a few unusual jellies not available at Walmart, including Marionberry and Chokecherry. After climbing many steps to the observation point nearby and snapping a few more photos, I set off again. It wasn't long until the last adventure of the trip began. No one told me you can get stuck in road construction on Trail Ridge Road, but you can. I have no idea how long we spent inching
along a couple of miles of one of this country's highest roads, but it is without doubt the highest elevation traffic stoppage I've seen. Things were moving so slowly we had ample time to get out of our cars and snap pictures from arguably the premier undesignated scenic view in the park. There was even time to take short hikes in the chilly mountain air. Except for the wait, it was the best traffic jam I've ever experienced. That last day in RMNP, as one bumper sticker named it, was definitely worth waiting for. Chances are slim I'll return there anytime soon, so I'm grateful for the experiences it provided. Of all the places in Colorado to visit, that one tops most lists, and you shouldn't miss a chance to see it for yourself. If you're lucky, you may find a moose there.

Eagle Columnist In the end, the De Leon Bearcats had their way in a 48-7 win over the Goldthwaite Eagles last Friday at Eagle Field. De Leon (3-6 overall, 2-2 in District 7-2A Division I) amassed 518 total yards and never had to punt while all but officially securing a berth in the upcoming Class 2A DI playoffs. The Eagles, who fell to 2-7 and 1-3, now face extremely long odds at making the playoffs. The game got away from Goldthwaite during a crucial stretch of the second quarter when the Eagles trailed 13-0. Nick Jones broke a 43-yard run to the De Leon 3-yard line. But the Eagles lost a fumble at the 1, the Bearcats recovered and took possession at their 4, and De Leon drove 96 yards to score and extend their lead to 20-0. During De Leon’s pivotal 96-yard drive that lasted 11 plays, running back Angel Perez broke runs of 21 and 15 yards, plus quarterback Trey Lopez completed a 13-yard pass to Emery Amick. Jorge Gonzales scored the touchdown on a 10-yard run to give the Bearcats their 20-0 lead. Shortly after the ensuing kickoff, Goldthwaite fumbled again at the De Leon 46. On the following play, Lopez threw a 54-yard touchdown pass to Amick as the Bearcats increased their lead to 28-0
after a two-point conversion pass. “There were definitely some self-inflicted wounds there,” Goldthwaite coach Keith Virdell said of the key second-quarter sequence. “I’m not saying we would have won the game if we had scored there. I’m not sure it would have changed our mentality. But it would have changed De Leon’s mentality and gotten them out of their game plan.” De Leon’s 27-point second quarter left Goldthwaite in a 34-0 hole at halftime. The Eagles scored on a long drive in the third quarter after slotback Weldon Krause broke runs of 22 and 26 yards, and halfback Isaac Chavez added a 38-yard run. Jones scored on a 3-yard run to make it 34-7, but that’s as close as Goldthwaite got. Lopez threw scoring passes of 18 yards to Skyler Harvey and 52 yards to Victor Amaya to make it 48-7 and complete De Leon’s night of offensive domination. The Bearcats finished with 518 total yards, including 151 yards and three touchdowns passing by Lopez, who completed all five of his throwing attempts. Perez added 149 yards and two touchdowns rushing, including a 49-yard score. Gonzales finished with 84 yards and a TD rushing as the Bearcats put up 367 yards on
De Leon topples Eagles 48-7 the ground. Amick had 138 combined yards rushing and receiving, including touchdowns on a 58-yard run and a 49-yard pass. He also returned a kickoff 43 yards. “They have some monsters up front,” Virdell said of the Bearcats’ offensive line. “It seemed like they completely crushed our defensive line when they wanted to. We couldn’t stop them. “They had been having three or four turnovers a game, and they didn’t have any against us. On some of their big pass plays, I think we were trying too hard. We got out of position in the secondary.” Goldthwaite rushed for 179 yards -- including 64
yards by Chavez, 57 yards by Krause and 50 yards by Jones. But the Eagles’ passing game produced just 12 yards, and the two fumbles also limited offensive production. Jaxon Wootton had 43 yards on kickoff returns. Defensively, the Eagles were led by linebacker Mitchel Hopper and safety Jackson Patrick, who made eight tackles each. Chavez made six tackles from his outside linebacker spot. “A bright spot was that the kids were still fighting and battling to the end,” Virdell said. “The scoreboard didn’t reflect it, but we have gotten more physical with our blocking and tackling the last couple of weeks.”

This Week’s Games All at 7:30 p.m. Goldthwaite at Valley Mills, Hico at Crawford, San Saba at De Leon. END OF REGULAR SEASON. District 7-2A Notes: San Saba secured its second consecutive District 7-2A Division I championship with last week’s 48-28 win over Crawford. Crawford will be the No. 2 playoff seed from the district. Valley Mills will likely be the No. 3 playoff seed. De Leon will likely be the No. 4 playoff seed. Goldthwaite is not mathematically eliminated, but would have to beat Valley Mills by 18 points and win a coin flip to make the playoffs. San Saba trailed for the first time this season during the first half against Crawford -- once at 7-0 and again at 14-7. The Armadillos’ defense, which had allowed nine points in eight games, allowed 28 points to Crawford. But the Armadillos won, and their defense scored a touchdown on safety Logan Glover’s pick-six interception return. San Saba QB Sean O’Keefe rushed for 369 yards and four TDs against Crawford. Running back Eli Salinas added 110 yards as the Armadillos rushed for 537 yards. San Saba linebacker Risien Shahan made 20 tackles, including four for losses, against Crawford. Crawford will make the playoffs for the 16th time in 17 years, and the Pirates have secured their 29th winning record in the last 31 seasons. De Leon amassed 367 yards rushing, 151 yards passing and 518 total yards last week against Goldthwaite. Bearcats’ QB Trey Lopez was 5-of-5 passing, including three TDs. By beating Crawford, San Saba won its 18th consecutive regular-season game and ninth consecutive district game.

Lee Roy Schwartz Lee Roy Walter Schwartz was born on the family farm near Priddy Texas, to Fritz and Minnie (Kunkel) Schwartz on December 24, 1937. He went to be with the Lord at the same farmhouse on November 3, 2019, at the age of 81. German was the first language at the Schwartz home. Lee Roy learned English as a student at Priddy ISD. He talked fondly of his time in Boy Scouts of America, and passed on the knot tying and other skills he learned to his children and grandchildren. He played on the Priddy High varsity basketball and football teams, and exhibited livestock at both county and major shows. Lee Roy was a skilled basketball player, but his passion was farming and ranching. This became obvious when, upon graduation from high school, he turned down a scholarship to play collegiate basketball and chose instead to focus immediately on a career in agriculture. Lee Roy was a lifetime member of Zion Lutheran Church in Priddy. He was baptized and confirmed at Zion Lutheran, and served as church council chair three times, and as a council member for many more years. During one term as chair of the council, the congregation experienced an extended pastoral vacancy. Lee Roy took the lead in arranging visiting pastors for the congregation for a continuous three-year
Lee Roy Schwartz period, until a new pastor was called. Whether on the council or not, Lee Roy was always ready to do what was needed to keep the church focused on it’s mission and the building and grounds in good condition. Lee Roy was a well-respected community servant from an early age. Soon after graduating high school, he was elected to serve as a trustee on the Priddy school board. He was re-elected repeatedly until voluntarily withdrawing to run for Mills County Precinct 4 Commissioner. During three terms as Precinct 4 Commissioner, Lee Roy sought to keep roads and bridges in his precinct well maintained. He used county funds frugally, shopping for bargains on heavy equipment, and used his considerable skills as a mechanic to refurbish each piece into good working condition. Lee Roy worked with the county judge
and other commissioners to establish a 9-1-1 system in Mills county, and maintain ambulance service. Lee Roy served on the Brown-Mills Soil and Water Conservation District for many years. He earned recognition as an expert marksman during 13 years of service in the National Guard, and was a member of the Priddy American Legion. Lee Roy was deeply, lovingly devoted to Caroline, his wife of 63 years. He loved his family dearly, and gave unselfishly of his time and energy. His many grandchildren and great-grandchildren cherished spending time with him on the family farm. He had a servant’s heart, never turning away a friend, neighbor, or stranger in need, many times at the expense of his own business. Lee Roy is survived by his wife, Caroline (Niemann) Schwartz, daughter Sharon Schwartz Riewe of Goldthwaite, son Andy Schwartz and wife Kathy of Austin, son Donald Schwartz and fiance’ Tjwanah Conklin of Proctor, daughter Amy and husband Eddie Huddleston of Sidney, ten grandchildren, eleven great grandchildren, and a growing number of adopted grandchildren and great grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents, Fritz and Minnie Schwartz, and brothers Layart, Paul, Melvin, and Charlie Schwartz.

Regional Cross Country Update
NAPA Customer Appreciation Day
By Coach Ashley Spradley The Lady Eagles & Eagles both competed in the Region II - AA Cross Country Championships this past Monday in Dallas and both teams finished in 6th place. The meet was held at Jesse Owens Athletic Complex in ideal weather conditions and both teams took advantage with personal bests across the board. It was a date that couldn't get here fast enough for the Lady Eagles as injuries kept reoccurring for the already small team of seven. Junior, Ellie Petersen who had been finishing as the Lady Eagles 6th - 7th runner all season broke her ankle days before the district meet. Freshman, Jenna Fincher stepped up into that final varsity spot for district and regional competition. Junior, Emma Grebe who had been finishing as our #4 or 5 runner all season, suffered a bad sprained ankle in basketball practice on Thursday which also kept her out of regional competition. It was disheartening to say the least, but we understand that life has a way of throwing wrenches into our plans and each of the other girls stepped up and rose to the occasion. Senior, Macy Seward who missed all of last season due to a knee injury has been a major factor in our success this season. Macy is the kind of kid that will impact anything she is involved in in a positive way. She is a natural leader who demonstrates that leadership best by her actions. Her work ethic and dedication to her team are second to none. When Ellie went out at district, Macy stepped up and ran a personal best time - that was until the regional meet. Macy went from consistently finishing in our 7th spot to our 5th best time at district and our 4th best time at the regional competition. Freshman, Avery Graves ran her personal best time as did junior, Jasmine Balencia as they finished their consistent 2 and 3 spots for the Lady Eagles and Kelly Ables rounded
Kylee Medina things out in our 5th spot for team totals. And then you have Kylee Medina-- the workhorse, the poster child of Lady Eagle Cross Country. Kylee is always consistent, always competitive, and always advancing to state. She commented before the race as to how nervous she was because of how slow she feels like she has become, but she followed that comment up with a 4th place finish and season best time of 12:41.91. Kylee’s personal best time in cross country came her sophomore year at the Regional Meet when she ran a 12:06, which was good enough for a 6th place finish. This marks Kylee’s 4th consecutive year at the state competition and I have to admit it will be a bittersweet ending for me as her coach, but probably more sweet for Kylee as the competitor. It’s no secret that Kylee has had much success in cross country and track, but basketball is by far her favorite sport and should she shed any tears on Saturday, I’m willing to bet they will be tears of joy. I know that Kylee will leave everything out on the course for her final time to run at Old Settlers Park, I also know that she will be thrilled when it’s over because she can focus solely on the sport she loves with her teammates. It should be a special time Saturday morning for Kylee, her family, and the Lady Eagles. I am looking forward to watching her compete at that level one more time. The senior leadership that we have had from Macy & Kylee is more than any coach could ask for. They are the type of young women that you want your kids to grow up and model after. They work hard in our program and in the classroom. They have servant hearts and can always be found lending a hand or picking up a fellow teammate no matter how young or old. The JH kids that we have in our program absolutely love them and want to grow up to be like them, and what a blessing that is as a coach to have that kind of leadership
Connor Bartek from the upperclassmen in your program. Our boy’s program has been building year after year and with the leadership of 3 junior guys that joined up with fellow junior, Jonathan Bartek their freshman year, we have grown now to 8 high school runners and 5 junior high runners. Not only are we getting our numbers up, but we are also much more talented. Eagle Cross Country has claimed the district championship for the last 3 years, but would usually find ourselves near the bottom of the team standings at the regional meet. Enter freshmen, Connor Bartek, Javier Vanegas, and Ridge Stegemoller. Connor has been a force in cross country throughout middle school whereas the latter two had never competed in a meet until this year. These three young men made an immediate impact on our team standings. Connor jumped out ahead of the rest of the Eagles as our top runner. Javier finished as our second place runner in all competitions up until the regional meet when junior, Jonathan Bartek took over, and Ridge made consistent progress all season long flip flopping between #4 and 5 with junior, Brecken Reyes. Miguel Martinez, who is another freshman that ran some with Connor in middle school, made up the team of 8 which also included juniors, Clayton Schulze and Wyatt Adams. Once you get to district competition you can only carry 7 on a team so the guys constantly had to compete for a spot. I believe without a doubt that competition within a program makes that program better and this team is a true testament to that. Connor got out and ran like Connor always does and had a very impressive finish at the regional competition. Several coaches from other high schools and college coaches that were in attendance at the meet kept coming up and asking if he was just a freshman and commented on how impressed they were of him. Obviously, I was equally as impressed, but it was noth-

Jonathan Bartek ing new for me. I was just witnessing what I witness from Connor in any practice or competition on any given day – he finds a way to win and refuses to get let anyone beat him. He probably has to take twice as many steps as his competitors with the difference in their strides, but he never lets that hold him back and, if anything, it pushes him more. While opposing coaches were locked in on watching Connor’s performance, I found myself most impressed by his big brother, Jonathan. Our race started out much like it always does with Connor in our first spot and Javier following closely behind in the second. Javier has been tremendous in assisting Jonathan to become a better runner because Javi was a more realistic “target” for Jonathan than Connor might have been. Jonathan started out in our third spot, but slowly overtook Javier and then gradually started to overtake the competition in front of him easing more and more toward the front of the pack, his little brother included. The top 4 teams advance to state and the top ten individuals not already a part of the qualifying teams also qualify for state so if you can finish top twenty you usually still have a chance. Jonathan finished in the 22nd spot and claimed the last individual qualifying time. I am so proud that Connor advanced as a freshman and that all of his hard work is paying off, but I am also very proud that Jonathan found a way to run a personal best and advance to the biggest stage at this level. The fact that he will get to compete with his brother is just the icing on top. One thing is for sure – it’s going to be a special day on Saturday when these three compete. Kylee will start things off at 9:40 followed by Connor and Jonathan at 10:10. Awards will be presented approximately 30 minutes after the boy’s race and I’d be willing to bet Goldthwaite is represented on the awards stand. If you don’t have anything going on Saturday or you’re just interested in watching some small town kids with big time work ethic compete, I would suggest you make the trip to Old Settlers Park in Round Rock this Saturday. Go Eagles!

Eagles to finish regular season at Valley Mills By Mike Lee Eagle Contributor In today’s world of expanded high school playoffs, the Goldthwaite Eagles still aren’t mathematically out of the postseason -- although it would take a considerable upset and some good fortune for a postseason berth to become reality. Goldthwaite, 2-7 overall and 1-3 in District 7-2A Division I, would have to beat Valley Mills (5-4, 2-2) by 18 points. Then the Eagles would have to win a threeway coin flip with Valley Mills and De Leon to make the postseason. It should be noted that Goldthwaite just lost to De Leon 48-7 and Valley Mills beat De Leon 21-0 in district play. But stranger things have happened, and Valley Mills is dealing with injuries to its top running back and its quarterback. “We’ve mentioned it to the players,” Goldthwaite coach Keith Virdell said of the playoff situation. “They understand the playoffs are still a possibility. “Valley Mills has some injuries so we’re not sure who will be playing what positions for them. I’m sure they’re not going to change their scheme. But we’ll probably see some different plays with different personnel. They’re a solid team, even with those guys out. We expect them to play well.” Valley Mills can earn the No. 3 playoff seed from District 7-2A DI if it beats Goldthwaite. It will be the final regular-season game for Goldthwaite’s nine remaining seniors -- Nick Jones, Weldon Krause, Jaxon Wootton, Jordan Simon, Jaden Biehl, Shane Castle, Jose Valdez, Daylin Wiedebusch and Noe Sanchez. As for his team’s goals against Valley Mills, Virdell said, “No turnovers. Eliminate mistakes. Play more consistently.” De Leon converted two Goldthwaite fumbles into two second-quarter touch-
downs that turned a 13-0 Bearcats’ lead into a 27-0 lead last week. Even with its injuries, Valley Mills can rely on a defense that is allowing only 15.2 points per game this season. Goldthwaite has won eight of its 10 all-time meetings between the two teams. The two Valley Mills wins came in 1972 and 2018. San Saba survives first test San Saba (9-0 overall, 4-0 in District 7-2A DI) hadn’t won an outright district championship since 1991 entering last season. But if the heavily favored Armadillos win Friday at De Leon, San Saba will win its second consecutive outright district title. The Armadillos also can finish 10-0 for the second consecutive season. The Armadillos already have clinched the No. 1 playoff seed from District 7-2A DI with last week’s 48-28 win over Crawford (6-3, 3-1), which settled for the No. 2 playoff seed. De Leon will likely get the fourth and final playoff spot from the district. San Saba finally was tested during its 48-28 win over Crawford. San Saba quarterback Sean O’Keefe took over the game, rushing for 369 yards and four touchdowns as the Armadillos won for the 19th consecutive time in the regular season and the ninth straight time in district. San Saba had outscored its first eight opponents 461-9, but the Armadillos were tied with Crawford 14-14 at halftime, and the Pirates pulled within 34-28 on Garrett Pearson’s 1-yard touchdown run with 6:43 left in the game. The Armadillos, whose starters had barely played in the fourth quarter all season, rose to the occasion. Running back Eli Salinas broke a 48yard touchdown run to extend San Saba’s lead to 41-28 with 6:02 left. And 6-foot-5 safety Logan Glover’s sixth interception this season went for a touchdown with 1:29 to play.
“It was an eye-opener. We had a wakeup call in the second half,” said Glover, whose team trailed for the first time this season at 7-0 and 14-7 during the first half. “A game like this will prepare us for the playoffs and make us a better team. Crawford got after us.” O’Keefe’s touchdowns came on runs of 47, 18, 80 and 28 yards. Three of his touchdowns came during a 20-point third quarter when the Armadillos turned a 1414 tie into a 34-21 lead. “They came out in the second half and hitched their wagon to No. 17 and rode him to the finish line,” veteran Crawford coach Delbert Kelm said of O’Keefe. “He’s hard to get a solid hit on, and that’s something you can’t coach. Guys like that are hard to tackle.” San Saba finished with 537 yards rushing. Salinas added 110 yards on 14 carries, and backup quarterback Risien Shahan had 59 yards, including a 30-yard touchdown. “I knew we would be tested,” San Saba coach Andreas Aguirre said. “It was a tough battle for four quarters, and we needed that. I think the second half came down to our conditioning, our up-tempo pace and our practice habits. It’s good to beat a program with the pedigree and culture that Crawford has.” Crawford led 7-0 after converting Ty Torbert’s blocked punt into Trey Lacina’s 8-yard touchdown run that came after the Pirates converted a fake field goal into a first down. The Pirates also led 14-7 in the second quarter on a 61-yard waggle pass from Tanner Merenda to Tate Abel, who led Crawford in receiving with 74 yards and in rushing with 51 yards. “We thought if we could get it to the fourth quarter, we’d have a chance because they hadn’t had to play four quarters much at all,” Kelm said of San Saba. “But they’re obviously good enough to overcome that.”
GHS Happenings We had a great “Senior night” last Friday. Thanks to Coach Virdell, Mrs. Reynolds, Ms. Biddle, and all who were involved in making that night special.

Star Fish Fry AG ROUNDUP Fundraiser set by Mills County Extension Agent Tom Guthrie for Saturday
Mills County Senior Citizens Center Chair Bingo
By Brian Whitt Goldthwaite Eagle Star VFD will hold its annual Fish Fry fundraiser this Saturday, November 9 beginning at 5:30 p.m. at the Star Fire Station. The yearly fish fry has proven extremely popular with locals and visitors alike. Volunteer firefighter Sam Campbell shared information about the event with The Eagle Monday morning. "Our annual Fish Fry is our main event for getting donations so that we can exist for another year," Campbell said. "We've had very much success by trying to offer the very best fish at a donation price only." In addition to fish, the meal includes all the fixings, desserts, drinks, and more. The firefighters, their wives, and other ladies in the community share the work of preparing the feast. "There are homemade desserts, fish, hush puppies, beans, coleslaw, potato salad," Campbell continued. "We'll start serving at 5:30 on Saturday, and serve until the fish is gone or we don't have anybody else to serve." Because the event is held during deer season, hunters are a common sight at the Fish Fry.
"We like the hunters to come," Campbell said. Volunteer firefighter Kirby Moore provides transportation via ATV for those who park far enough away to make walking to the fire station difficult. The Star VFD makes every effort to provide an enjoyable (and delicious) experience for all. "Best fish in Mills County, some say," Campbell said. "We actually try to buy the best fish that we have found to be available." Donations help the Star VFD in a number of ways. Campbell said the money helps pay for vehicle insurance, building insurance, property insurance, truck maintenance, tires, and equipment. "And we put in a new well this year," he said. "Been borrowing water from the neighbor, and we felt like we need to be self-sufficient with our own water." The Fish Fry plays an important role in the life of our community, providing an opportunity to get together, enjoy a great meal, and support our volunteer firefighters. Campbell offered this invitation as he concluded his comments. "Everybody [is] welcome."
The Mills County Senior Center is collaborating with the Mills County AgriLife Extension Office and the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Services Better Living for Texas Agent, Wendy Hamilton out of Brown County to provide a physical activity called Chair Bingo to senior citizens. The activity will be held each Thursday from 10:00 am to 11:00 am at the Mills County Senior Center. The dates will run from October 24th – December 19th, excluding November 28.

By Susan Reynolds GCISD Band Director November 1 was a night to remember. We honored both our middle school band students and our seniors. It was sort of a look back and a glimpse of the future all on the same day. The 7th and 8th grade bands and the middle school twirlers and flags joined the Golden Eagle Band in the stands for the first half of the game, then on the field during halftime. When there are over 100 teens on the field working together to entertain their parents and friends, that’s something. They played “Splish Splash” to a very appreciative audience. It was such a lot of fun for everyone! We also took the opportunity to acknowledge the accomplishments and contributions of our seniors. It will be sad to see them go, but they have even more to contribute in the wide open world. This bunch is going to do something.

To me it is about the most precious thing in this world that all of my children are alive and well. It must be the saddest event in the life of a mother or a father to lose a child. I ask God to take extra special care of them.

Lt. Col. August Pfluger is a 20-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force and a decorated combat pilot with over 300 hours of direct action against radical jihadists in the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Until launching his campaign for TX-11 in September, August served as a member of President Donald Trump’s National Security Council staff, where he was entrusted with our nation’s highest security clearance and charged with advising President Trump on a host of foreign and domestic threats to our nation’s security. As a seventh-generation Texan, August learned the value of a hard day’s work on his family’s ranches in Kimble and Concho counties. August describes himself as a conservative Republican, a proud husband and father, and a devoted follower of Jesus Christ. He met his wife, Camille, in October 2000. They have three young daughters, Vivian, Caroline, and Juliana. In his free time, August enjoys coaching his daughters’ youth soccer teams and leading Bible study groups for military service members – something he’s done at every base he’s been stationed.

I had Flint yesterday after school and got to take him to his flag football practice which was at the Goldthwaite City field. When Flint and I got there some of the players were there and had their drink containers of various sorts in the dugout spaced far enough apart so everyone would have space to sit. I watched as Wade Clifton had them line up in a row. He told them that when he said “Hut” they were to run to the fence at the other end of the field. He explained it quite clearly and as the boys got into their stance he said, “Ready! Set!” and one of the boys jumped. Walt grinned and the boys did five push ups for his error. Then he proceeded to explain to the boys the same scenario of when he says “Hut” they are to run to the fence and come back. So Walt said, “Ready, Set” and another of the guys jumped and quickly got down and did five pushups. It was so much fun to watch them laugh and have a good time. Ryan Wright was also helping with the coaching and plays. I want to thank all of these coaches, their helpers, parents, grandparents, or whoever that give of their time and work with young people. In my opinion you are more important than you know. Some may say that you do it because you have a child in the mix but I know that you do it for your kids and for the
many others also and so I say “pat yourself on the back” or come by to see me and I will “pat you on your back.” When Frank and I went to Flower Mound to help celebrate Bethany’s and Blake’s birthdays it just so happened that Steven was also traveling to Kansas to look at a hunting dog that he might want. So Steven arranged his schedule so he could have dinner with us. It is not often when I get all my “little chicks” in the same place at the same time and it was a wonderful time. We had quite a crowd at some Italian restaurant (I don’t remember the name of the place right now). Also attending were Frank’s brother and his wife, Kenny and Jackie of Richardson; Amy (Stuart’s wife) and two of Amy’s girls, Blakely who is in medical assistant studies and Savannah who is a senior in high school; Robert (Bethany’s husband) and their two, Sarah, an eleventh grader at Flower Mound High School and Carson, who is an eight grader at Forestwood Middle School; Blake, who was 26 that night and his wife Jordan who live in Dallas. We enjoyed a wonderful meal together. It was expensive but just a great memory. Maybe some day soon we will all be together in one place at the same time. We all had a wonderful time.

New local businesswoman, Sassy Central Spa owner and esthetician Marla Wimp, does a sugaring hair removal treatment on a client at Impressions last week.
Some sugar could spice up your appearance By Tammarrah Pledger Goldthwaite Eagle With the holidays right around the corner, locals may want to know there is a great new way to treat the woman in your life to something extra — or treat yourself anytime! Marla Wimp, the owner of Sassy Central Spa at Impressions, recently moved to Goldthwaite and opened a new business that offers services like facials, eyelash extensions, sugaring hair removal and more. Longtime friend and colleague of Kim Brown, owner of Knots Out Massage Therapy in Goldthwaite, Marla said she was visiting Kim not long ago, and when other cosmetology-related business owners found out what she did, they encouraged her to move here to live and work.
“I was looking to move, but wasn’t really thinking about moving here,” Marla said. “Kim was introducing me to people and I met Cindy (Head), and she told me, ‘I want you here!’” Marla is originally from Corpus Christi, but moved here about a month ago from Sanger. “Everyone was just so sweet and so nice, and they convinced me to move here, and I just love it,” Marla said. “There is definitely that small town feel here, and the people I’ve met are so wonderful,” she said. “I love meeting all the new people and getting to know this new place. I love it!” Marla has been an esthetician — a person who specializes in the beautification of the skin with cosmetic skin treatments, such as facials,
superficial chemical peels, body treatments, and waxing, for example — for about 15 years, she said. When The Eagle visited Marla at Impressions last week, she was giving a client a sugaring treatment. The hair-removal technique is all natural, Marla said, and her brochure indicates it can be used all over the body. “I also do microdermabrasion, facials, lashes ... lots of things,” she explained. Marla is at Impressions from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and on Saturday by appointment. She also works out of Brownwood on Mondays and occasionally on Tuesdays. For more information on what services she provides or to make an appointment, call Marla at (361)-3319987. You can also reach her via email at sassycentralspa@yahoo.com.

Voters to decide on proposed amendments Darrell Head of Star is pictured here on his 93rd birthday on Saturday, Nov. 2.
Head: Hardly slowing down, even at 93! By Tammarrah Pledger Goldthwaite Eagle Darrell Head of Star — owner of Head’s Hardware, which has operated at the same location in Center City for more than 70 years — celebrated his 93rd birthday this past Saturday. A native of Mills County who has lived here all his life, Head said he started school at the North Bennett School and attended there until it closed. He then went to school at the Center City School until it closed, went to Goldthwaite schools for a couple years, and then graduated from Star High School. After graduation, he worked at Hudson Drug Store for two years before he bought the store in Center City in 1946. Head recalled that when he worked at the drug store, which was in downtown Goldthwaite, people didn’t come to town much during the week. Saturday nights, however, were a different story. “On Saturdays, everyone came to Goldthwaite,” he said. “You couldn’t get up and down the streets ... just solid cars up and down both sides of the street.” Most days his shift at the drug store started at 8 a.m. and he was done pretty early in the evening, he said, but on Saturday nights, he didn’t leave the drug store until about 10 p.m., and there were still people running around town even then. In the 1940s, the business at Center City he would eventually buy was run by a couple of men who had a business killing mesquite trees, he said. The pair approached him to see if he wanted to buy the building and property. “I told them I didn’t have enough money to make change let alone buy this place,” he said, but they let him take over the property and
buy it out over the years. At first, Head tried to operate a grocery store, but it didn’t do well, he said, so he decided to turn it into a hardware store, and that did much better. “There’s been lots of changes since I opened the store,” Head said. “When I first opened, I might see 12 cars on the road all day long, and now there’s gotta be 1,200 that drive by every day.” In addition to the normal hardware they keep in stock, they also do oil changes and fix flats, he noted. Head said he and his late wife Edna, who passed away in 2010, had a son and two daughters, Darrell Wayne Head of Star, Diane Sanders of Goldthwaite, and Sandra Compton of Burleson. He now has 11 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren, he said. He said he enjoys helping his son and grandson with their cattle, and when he isn’t at the store or helping them with their cattle, he still enjoys hunting and fishing. In fact, he just got a deer over opening weekend, the same weekend as his birthday. “When I was younger we did a lot of calling ... calling foxes and that ... but I’m getting too old for that I guess,” he said. When asked what advice he would offer to people after 93 years of living, Head said he advises getting “a good job, work 20 or 30 years, and then retire and forget about it.” Ironically, he still shows up to work at the store every day at 7 a.m. and stays until about 8 p.m., he said. “What would I do?” he chuckled at the thought of his own retirement. “I like to work!” “A lot of these folks have been coming here a long time. I like waiting on them,” he said with a smile.
The state’s 10-day early voting period ran from Oct. 21 to Nov. 1 with Election Day on Nov. 5. On the ballot are 10 proposed constitutional amendments, special elections and local political subdivision elections, including those for mayor, city council, school board, municipal utility districts and other local entities. Secretary of State Ruth Hughs, the state’s chief election officer, encouraged all eligible voters to fulfill their civic duty by voting. During the early voting period, Hughs said, “It is critical that all eligible Texans have the opportunity to help shape the direction of the Lone Star State.” For more information on voting in Texas and a list of the proposed constitutional amendments, visit www.votetexas.gov. Feds set hemp rules Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller on Oct. 29 announced the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s release of interim final rules for the U.S. Domestic Hemp Program. The rules, part of the 2018 Farm Bill, serve as a framework for states like Texas that are planning to build an industrial hemp growing program. With federal guidelines in place, the Texas Department of Agriculture can now submit a state hemp plan to USDA for approval, Miller said. The rules can be found online at usda.gov. “This is the big leap forward we’ve all been waiting for,” said Miller. “I want to make it clear – it is still not yet legal to grow industrial hemp in Texas.
But we are one step closer to allowing farmers to get this exciting new crop in the ground.” Miller said he expects to submit the Texas plan for an industrial hemp program in 30 days or less. Harvey disaster continues Gov. Greg Abbott on Oct. 28 extended the disaster proclamation he originally issued on Aug. 23, 2017, for counties affected by Hurricane Harvey that brought loss of life and damages estimated at more than $125 billion. In the proclamation, the governor authorized the use of all available resources of state government and of political subdivisions that are reasonably necessary to cope with the disaster. Original counties named in the proclamation were: Aransas, Austin, Bee, Brazoria, Calhoun, Chambers, Colorado, DeWitt, Fayette, Fort Bend, Galveston, Goliad, Gonzales, Harris, Jackson, Jefferson, Jim Wells, Karnes, Kleberg, Lavaca, Liberty, Live Oak, Matagorda, Nueces, Refugio, San Patricio, Victoria, Waller, Wharton and Wilson. Abbott later expanded the list to include the counties of: Angelina, Atascosa, Bastrop, Bexar, Brazos, Burleson, Caldwell, Cameron, Comal, Grimes, Guadalupe, Hardin, Jasper, Kerr, Lee, Leon, Madison, Milam, Montgomery, Newton, Orange, Polk, Sabine, San Augustine, San Jacinto, Trinity, Tyler, Walker, Washington and Willacy. Update: ‘Vaping’ cases The Texas Department of State Health Services on Oct.
29 reported that 165 Texas cases of severe lung disease have been identified so far in people who report “vaping” before developing symptoms. One case was reported to have resulted in death. State health officials are gathering more information on about 13 other possible cases to determine whether they are consistent with the symptoms and substance use seen in cases in Texas and 48 other states. Patients range in age from 13 to 75 years old, with a median age of 22 years. About one-quarter of the people affected in Texas are minors. Three-quarters are male, and nine in 10 report vaping THC or marijuana, possibly in conjunction with other substances. Almost all were hospitalized, with many requiring intensive care. TEA reports test results The Texas Education Agency on Oct. 30 reported that Texas fourth graders taking the 2019 National Assessment of Educational Progress in mathematics improved from two years ago, outpacing the national average. However, for eighth-grade students, mathematics scores declined slightly, dropping below the national average for the first time since 2003. Furthermore, eighth-grade reading scores showed the largest decline, mirroring a large decline across the nation. NAEP is a random sample test of reading and mathematics in fourth and eighth grades, overseen by the U.S. Department of Education and conducted every two years in every state.
Pumpkin search will continue at Gardens By Susan Lindsey Executive Director The Great Pumpkin Search will continue in the Gardens.

Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next.

GES School Zone
By Leigh Anne Jernigan GES Principal Thank-you to Mrs. Virdell for a great Red Ribbon Week. Last week Mrs. Virdell spent time with each grade level discussing healthy choices and discussed how to be a friend and not a bully! Mrs. Kendra Wright gave her 5th grade students a character trait assignment. The students were to choose a word to define and then had to decorate a pumpkin to illustrate the word. The students presented their word, its definition, and their pumpkin to all of the student body during assembly last Friday. This week we had Delta Kappa Gamma speak with our 2nd, 3rd, and
4th grade students about anti-bullying. Delta Kappa Gamma presented a book to each of the students. The book is titled Say Something. The Delta Kappa Gamma ladies read and discussed the book with our students. There are resources at the end of the book that will help parents and children talk about teasing and bullying. Thank-you Delta Kappa Gamma for sharing with our students! This Thursday, November 7th, is picture retakes. Picture forms are available in the GES office. This Friday, the pep rally is at 2:40 and we will have an early release following the pep rally at 3:10. Pre-K will be dismissed from GES at 3:10 this Friday. If your child will not be
attending the pep rally, please call the GES office ahead of time. Thank-you. Please join us for our Veterans Day Celebration! The Goldthwaite Elementary School presents: We Honor You Monday, November 11th at 9:00 a.m. At Goldthwaite Elementary School Cafetorium To all our veterans, our students would love to thank you for your service. Please make plans to attend. Everyone join our students as they honor all those who served our country!

Priddy boys, Partin qualify for state meet By Caitlin Bouyer Priddy Yearbook Staff Priddy extended its streak to 29 out of 30 years for qualifying an individual or team in girls or boys for the UIL state cross country meet. This year the Priddy boys finished third as a team at the recent Region III-1A meet at Dallas, with sophomore Jarek Stout as their top runner in 12th place with a time of 17:25 and Joey Hall right behind in 15th place. On the girls’ side, freshman Sydney Partin finished eighth, individually, with a time of 13:00 and qualified for the state meet. The Priddy girls’ team finished seventh, but only the top four go to state. The state meet is Nov. 9 in Round Rock..
Varsity Boys In the 5,000 meter race, Stout placed 12th with a time of 17:25. Junior Joseph Hall was 15th with a 17:35, freshman Zackery Ward 21st with 18:03, junior Chance Hodges 30th 18:26, freshman Javier Del Bosque 35th 18:58, senior Isaac Goehmann 40th 19:09, and sophomore Hunter Gutierrez was 85th with 20:52. “The only teams that beat us at regionals are the top two ranked teams in the state (Cumby Miller Grove and Saltillo)," Coach Curtis Hurst said. Varsity Girls In the two mile race, Partin placed 8th with a time of
13:00. Senior Linda Evans was 54th with a 14:41, sophomore Danielle Goehmann 79th with 15:18, freshman Mackenzie Morgan 88th 15:33, sophomore Alyssa Hurst 95th 15:41, and sophomore Rianne Hurst was 98th with 15:46. "We are excited that Sydney is going to state,” Priddy girls' coach Jimmie Cain said. “She has struggled most of the year, but came through at regional. All the girls ran their best at regional and did great to finish 7th as a team. Every team member worked through adversity this season, and Coach (Shannon) Buffe and I are very proud of them and looking to better things in the coming years.” Pictured above are Lindsay Grelle & Karissa Seider.
Terminating the competition By Alyssa Hurst Priddy ISD The savior of the world rushes outside and frantically hops on a motorcycle. The Terminator throws open the door, running towards him as he speeds away. His arms Chance Hodges, Joey Hall, Hunter Gutierrez, Isaac Goehmann, Javier Sydney Partin swing by his side like a penDel Bosque, Coach Curtis Hurst, Zack Ward, Jarek Stout dulum. His legs propel him forward. He keeps on coming. Nothing can stop him. Eighth grader Lindsey Grelle has been given the nickname “The Terminator” by Coach Jimmie Cain. “She’s constantly the same pace and just relentless,” Cain said. “She never slows down and never speeds up. It’s just the same exact stride, the same exact form and it reminds me of the Terminator in The Terminator movies.” Grelle placed first and 7th grader Karissa Seider placed second in the last 4 cross country meets this season: Priddy, Goldthwaite, Stephenville, and the District meet. They ran 2-mile races, in the 8th grade girls division. “They both work hard,” Coach Shannon Buffe, Sydney Partin, Mackenzie Morgan, Alyssa Hurst, Rianne Hurst, Danielle Goehmann, Cain said. “They are highly Linda Evans, Coach Jimmie Cain motivated.” The Junior High have prac-
ticed almost every morning at 6:15 with the High School girls cross country team to prepare for the cross country meets. “At meets it’s fun,” Sieder said, “but at practice sometimes it’s fun, sometimes it’s not. But it is worth it.” At Stephenville, Grelle and Seider ran against schools bigger than Priddy including Class 5A Cleburne, and 4A Brownwood. This did not intimidate Grelle though. “It’s just another school that has a lot more people than us,” Grelle said. After the gun went off, one runner was ahead of Grelle but then slowed down, she said. “At the stairs, I could hear people yelling other names behind me so I knew I had to go a little bit faster,” Grelle said. “I just kept going faster and so I kept my pace.” Grelle was first with a time of 13:11 and Seider was second with a time of 13:23. The third place runner had the time of 13:26. “What surprised me is how far ahead Lindsey was,” Cain said. “I really wasn’t expect-
ing that against those large schools. I figured they would have somebody that would be with her or ahead of her.” Earlier this year, on Sep. 11, at the 1.5 mile race in Hico, Sieder finished in 8th place with a time of 10:03. She was ahead of Grelle who finished 11th place with a time of 10:24. “We were both sick,” Grelle said. “And I didn’t feel very good.” Grelle said she didn’t like Seider beating her but they are friends so it was OK. “We’re like sisters,” Seider said. “We’ve known each other since we were really tiny.” Next year, Seider said she is hoping to take Grelle’s place in Junior High. Grelle will be a freshman and on the high school team. “I think she will help our team a lot,” Cross Country team member, Sophomore Rianne Hurst said, “but it’s not just her, Makyna (Harvey), Emily (Andrade) and Zoey (Ward) will also make us a faster team.”
Remember Keeler’s Korner this Christmas
Evelyn Lloyd is pictured at Keeler’s Korner in Zephyr.
By Madison Lewis Goldthwaite Eagle Keeler’s Korner in Zephyr — a boutique and vendor store — has a rich history. Evelyn Lloyd tells The Eagle about Keeler’s Korner’s past and future. “Five years ago, my husband and I bought it just to clean the corner up,” Lloyd said. “The back part was a filling station years and years ago. My daughter and I started a gift shop in the filling station part and it progressed to now we’ve got 30 vendors. It’s been a five year progress.” Lloyd and her husband said they bought the place for the sake of the community. “Whenever the school has reunions, sometimes people come over here and reminisce about when this used to be a little restaurant — a little hamburger place — and they would come in there. It was just something we didn’t want to disturb,” Lloyd said. Lloyd decided to name the shop Keeler’s Korner after finding a stone with the name ‘Keeler’ on it. “The gentlemen that built the filling station, (his) last name was Keeler,” Lloyd told The Eagle. “My husband now used to be married to Ann Keeler and she was the niece of Mr. Keeler who owned it to begin with. We decided not to take the stone part out and name the store Keeler’s Korner after him.” About two years ago, Lloyd
expanded the shop to include outside vendors. “I love having something the community can look forward to,” Lloyd said. “When you live out here, and people come to see you, what do you do? Where do you go? So the community’s been real excited when they have company to come show them the store.” Lloyd said she meets peo-
ple from all over passing by on the highway. “You meet a lot of people,” she said. “We’ve got a book here that everybody signs and we've got names and places from all over the world. You never know who's going to come in the door. Just today, we had two women from Anchorage, Alaska.” Lloyd gives the following advice to those who want to
open their own boutique, but are too afraid to start. “If you want to do it, do it. You don’t get anywhere sitting down and not doing what you want to do.” Lloyd said. Lloyd said she loves her store and sees a long future ahead for it. “I plan on keeping it open for as long as I can,” Lloyd said. “I don’t see it closing any time in the near future.”

L&B still cookin’ City Council to meet a year later
By Madison Lewis Goldthwaite Eagle Lori and Brian Hall have owned and operated L&B Roadhouse for a little over a year now and couldn’t be happier. “We had been in the Houston area for twenty plus years and our youngest were moving out so we wanted to do something different,” Lori said, explaining why they went into the business. L&B Roadhouse, formerly Ritter’s BBQ, celebrated their first year of business in September. “Any new business, you have ups and downs,” Lori said. “In the restaurant business especially, there’s no even-kill, but we’ve made great friends and had a lot of learning experiences.” The Halls have customers from all over the country who come to try their barbecue. “Our customers are awesome. We have people from Nevada that just happened to stop in. There was a church group that stops by on their way to conference every New Year's Eve and they said they want to come every year,” Lori said. Brian said they have certain customers who drive long distances just for their food. “We have people drive up from Austin or take detours from their deer lease just to drive up here and get stuff,” he said. However, being in a small town isn’t easy for the Halls. “Being out here in Lometa, it’s hard to get the word out about us,” Lori told The Eagle. “It’s taken a year for our name to get out and people to try us. We're pretty much 18 miles from anything in any direction, so if we can get people to come here that means something because it's worth their while to them to drive 18 miles out of their way to come get some food.” The Halls have a variety of BBQ products and dessert, including twenty flavors of pie. “Everybody has different tastes in pie, just like in barbeque,” Brian said. “Ev-

eryone has a different way of doing things. We had a customer today who said about one ingredient in our chili, ‘You don’t put that in chili’ and after they tried it said, ‘It’s a good thing you put that in the chili!’ It takes time for us to learn about people and about the barbecue of Central Texas.” Lori says the best part of owning the joint is the people she meets. “We can relate with (other restaurant owners) about the struggle of consistency and broken machinery, but it’s the people and the fun we have with the customers that keeps it fun. This is why
we’re here,” Lori said. Lori and Brian plan to continue “cooking good food for good people” for years to come. “We love feedback, good or bad,” Lori said. “If there's something wrong, let us know. If it’s good, share the word with others.” Lori encouraged anyone unfamiliar with the Roadhouse to come out and give them a try.

By Ronny Wright GCISD Superintendent Hey we have a back wall on the Administration building! How about that. This portion of the project should be completed relatively soon. We are still working on the landscaping portion at this time and are working up an outside punch list for the construction company to complete. This list includes but not limited to the flagpole, marquee sign, counter tops, signage, gates and fencing, soffits and any other outside adjustments, repairs or improvements we may find necessary. We are so close to having this entire project complete and what a blessing that will be. We have a big game with Valley Mills this week, so if you happen to see any of the players or coaches out in the community please encourage as much as possible. Go, Eagles! Ladies basketball has begun with as full schedule of scrimmages and games starting soon. Please back these young ladies and their coaches as much as is physically possible. Thank you in advance. GMS and GES will be hosting Thanksgiving meals for families of our students in the
near future, so please listen for announcements on alert now and check backpacks for invitations to these events. GES will be hosting a Veterans day celebration on the 11th for all veterans. If you happen to be a veteran, please come to this event if you possibly can as we truly need our young students to have the opportunity to see, appreciate and acknowledge the sacrifices that our special military friends have made for each of us in this country. Thank you Veterans. Please be our honored guests. GMS will be performing their One-Act play for the community at 3:00pm on the 10th of November. This will give them an opportunity to hone their skills in front of a live audience before attending the District MS OAP competition in Hamilton on Tuesday. Plan on attending this event in order to help these young thespians perfect their craft before participating in their competition. “If there is any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not deter or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.” - William Penn
It’s time to plant your wildflowers By Laura Muntean AgriLife Today Texas wildflower lovers should know that now is the time to plant their favorite varieties for blooms in spring, said Joseph Johnson, program manager for The Gardens at Texas A&M University. Planting in the fall — before the start of the rainy season — will give your wildflowers time to germinate and gain a good root system before going dormant during the winter. “It is good to use a wildflower mix with several different species to ensure yearround interests and not just blooms for the spring,” he said. “This will give you an array of colors, but also an opportunity to see what does especially well in your wild-

Saylor Windmill Dedication held Saturday, Nov. 2
Star Museum closing, contents up for sale to fund scholarship Billie Gail Soules Day had a dream. Her dream was to establish a Museum in her hometown of Star. The Museum was to be a place where people could go and learn about a community that had once been a thriving town with a school, post office, bank, barbershop, dry goods store and saloon. In February, 2000, that dream became a reality when the Star Volunteer Fire Department deeded a building to the newly formed Star Historical Museum, Inc. The building which was given had also previously housed the Star Masonic Lodge and Eastern Star, and was a two-story native rock structure. Original Board members included Annette Keeney, Billie Day, Shirley Duncan, Gene Moore and Roger Hashem. During the early years, the Museum became a home to many items loaned by local community members which had belonged to their parents and grandparents. Shelby Hawkins brought by a kerosene stove which had been in his house growing up. Bettie Sheldon Black loaned her Star School Mascot’s dress and letter jacket. Althea Cline had a collection of gifts which she received upon her graduation from nursing school some fifty years before. Billie Day had a collection of turn-of-the century clothing from her grandmother, Nettie Hamilton, and Billie’s own extensive colle ction of pink depression glassware. Avery House came in one day with a large collection of items
commonly found on ranches in the early 20th century, as well as a collection of Star School memorabilia. Billie’s cousin, Freda Soules Decker, came from Odessa regularly with car loads of Soules family memorabilia. Little by little the collection grew until it finally became desirable to utilize the second story of the Museum to house the clothing collection, Aidele Tubbs’ 1940’s era beauty shop and the extensive collection of printed resource material which the Museum was accumulating. Funds raised by Billie and a grant from the Lower Colorado River Authority made it possible to obtain a lift so that the second floor was handicap accessible. The task of maintaining the Museum records and exhibits was daunting, but Billie had able help in her friend, Judy McKinney, who visited Billie every week to work on Museum business. Dario Martinez, now the Administrator of Bangs Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, volunteered his time every Sunday to staff the Museum. Billie’s granddaughter, Jennifer Villarreal, also volunteered her time to work at the Museum. Local resident Kathy Jurek Flaten recalls that one of the highlights of the school year at Star was the field trip to the Museum. Kathy recalls that Mrs. Day always had refreshments and gave the students a tour of the Museum. Now, almost twenty years later, the Museum will be closing. Time, weather and
bee infestation have not been good to the old building. Approximately 4 years ago there was extensive flooding inside the building which unfortunately damaged some of the exhibits and weakened the structure. The Volunteer Fire Department has other plans for the property which necessitate the Museum removing the contents. The Museum was unable to obtain another location in Star. The Board tasked Melanie Reichenau and other volunteers with returning as many items as possible to family and heirs. The remaining items will be offered to the Mills County Historical Museum for their collections. The unclaimed items which are not accepted by Mills County Historical Museum will be offered for donation on November 9, starting at 9:00 am at the Museum. Items will not be priced. Individuals are encouraged to donate what they feel the item is worth to the Museum’s scholarship fund. The Museum Board hopes to begin awarding the scholarship to a graduating Goldthwaite Senior this Spring. Many of the families of the original owners of the items have generously donated their items to be offered at this event in the hopes that the almost 20 year history of the Museum will have a happy ending in the form of the scholarship. Items which have been donated for sale include antique linens, flatware, tools, jewelry and other items.
