Veterans Day is considered a yearly American holiday venerating military veterans. And both a state holiday and a federal holiday in all states, Veterans Day is generally celebrated on 11th November. On the other hand, if Veterans Day happens on Sunday then the next Monday is selected for the holiday leave, if Veterans Day happens Saturday then either Friday or Saturday may be so chosen. It is commemorated as Remembrance Day or Armistice Day in other part of the world. Veterans Day is celebrated on 11th November, the anniversary of signing of Armistice that finished World War I. The main hostilities of World War I were properly finished at 11th hour of 11th Day

of 11th Month of 1918 with German signing of the Armistice. And the holiday is generally printed as Veterans’ Day or Veteran’s Day in advertisements and calendars. Veterans Day History The U.S. President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed an Armistice Day for 12th November, 1919. And The United States Congress conceded a parallel resolution after 7 years on 4th June, 1926, applying for a President issue another declaration to survey 11th November with proper ceremonies. An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U. S. Code, Sec. 87a) permitted 13th May , 1938, made 11th of November in every year an authorized holiday; “a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace

and to be thereafter celebrated and known as ‘Armistice Day’.” In the year of 1953, an Emporia, Kansas, shoe store holder named Al King had a plan to increase Armistice Day to commemorate all veterans, not presently those who provided in World War I. King had been keenly occupied with an American War Dads throughout World War II. Then he started a crusade to turn the Armistice Day into “All” Veterans Day. And The Emporia Chamber of Commerce assumed the reason after resolving that 90% of the Emporia merchants with the Board of Education supported finishing their doors on 11th November, 1953, to tribute veterans. And with the help of then-U.S. Rep.

Ed Rees, from Emporia, a bill for holiday was pushed through Congress. The President Dwight Eisenhower marked it into law on 26th May, 1954. Congress modified this act on 8th November, 1954, replacing “Armistice” with Veterans. It has been recognized as Veterans Day since. Even though originally planned for commemoration on 11th November of each year, opening in 1971 compliant with the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, Veterans Day was shifted to fourth Monday of October. And In the year of 1978 it was retreated to its original commemoration on 11th November.

When she asked him why, he replied,

And that's when the fight started...

'Yes, she sighed,' He's my old boyfriend... I understand he took todrinking right after we split up those many years ago, and Ihear he hasn't been sober since .'

"Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"

My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I wasflipping the channels..

'My God!'I said,'Who would think a person could go on celebrating thatlong?'

She asked, What's on TV?'

And then the fight started...

I asked my wife, 'Where do you want to go for our anniversary? '

I said, Dust.'

It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweetappreciation.

My wife was hinting about what she wanted for ourupcoming anniversary.

I rear-ended a car this morning... So, there wewere alongside the road and slowly the other driver got outof his car.

The next year, he didn't buy her a gift.

And that's how the fightstarted...

'Somewhere I haven't been in a longtime! she said. So I suggested, How about the kitchen?' And that’s when the fight started... I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first.

'Nah, she can order forherself.'

And then the fight started...

She said, I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 200 inabout 3 seconds.' I suggested a bathroom scale. And then the fight started... My wife and I were sitting at a table at her highschool reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken manswigging his drink as he sat alone at a

He stormed over to my car, looked up at me, and shouted,'I AM NOT HAPPY!' So, I looked down at him and said, Well, then which one are you?' And then the fight started...

When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care offirst, the truck, the car, playing golf.always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tallgrass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewingscissors. I watched silently for a short time and then wentinto the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I cameout again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, 'When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway.' the doctors say I will walk again, but I wil always have a limp.


The Manners Matter program outline is unique; it revolves around today’s society. Children like adults also experience and live with ever changing influences that affects our human behavior such as technology. While technological advancements improve daily, we seem to have lost something meaningful in our relationships with one another, “socialization”. The Manners Matter program is for children 2nd thru 6th grade and includes materials, activities involving visual, oral and tactile senses. Teaching, practicing and enhancing new habits reflecting simple acts of kindness and respect. Horizon Montessori is participating in the program.

What Parents Can Do At Home to Promote Literacy Lately, our office has had inquiries in regards to what parents can do to help their children be college ready. From the time that children begin school parents must focus on increasing their children’s skills in reading, writing, communication, and problemsolving. Here are some ideas that can help parents be more aware of the many opportunities to help their children succeed in school, and thus, be college ready. 1. Build your child’s spoken language by allowing them to talk and teaching them how to listen. 2.Help your child learn about print and books – the cover, the beginning and end of a book, etc. 3.Help your child learn about the sounds of spoken language called phonological awareness. 4.Learn about the letters of the alphabet. You can make your own alphabet book by using a regular sheet of paper, printing the letter in upper case and lower case and then pasting a picture that starts with the letter. 5.Read to your children and allow them to read on their own. 6.Learn to recognize sight words like STOP, GO, NO, YES, DOG, CAT, DOOR, etc. 7.Help your child spell and write. Make sure to always have paper, pencil, crayons, markers, glue, and scissors on hand so that children and students have the supplies they need to spell and write. 8.Help develop their ability to read quickly and naturally called FLUENCY. 9.Help them learn a new word every week and also the meaning of the word and the use of the word in a sentence. 10.Help them learn comprehension; which is being able to understand what they read. This is a critical skill that they will use all through school and in to college. Parents are their children’s first teachers. Do your part to help your child be ready for school and ultimately ready for college. Reference: A Child Becomes A Reader, National Institute for Literacy, Third Edition.

Desde el año que los niños empiezan la escuela los padres deben de enfocarse en aumentar las capacidades de sus hijos en la lectura, la escritura, la comunicación, y la resolucion de problemas.

Thirteen-year-old Jasmin

is an 8th grader and straight A student at IDEA Academy in San Juan. She seemed quiet and humble when I interviewed her. Jasmin is an accordionist and has released her very own CD (Jasmin Y Su Acordeon). One of her compositions, El Pajaro Nalgon, is featured in her CD. Other songs/musical arrangements featured are Rinconcito en el Cielo, Maricela, Pavido Navido and El Columpio. Jasmin began playing the accordion when she was 7 years old. When asked why she picked this instrument, she said her sister, Yesenia played the accordion--so she decided to play it, too. Her other interests include sports, writing songs, drawing, singing and drama. During the year, she collects toys for underprivileged children in Mexico, but because of the situation there, she has begun to distribute toys to children here in the Valley. Her plans are to become a veterinarian and continue her musical career. One of the highlights of her young life was singing with Ramon Ayala at the Christmas Posada in Hidalgo, Texas. Her advice to other teens is to work hard for what they want in life. Congratulations, Jasmin! Her parents, Alfredo and Alma Benavides can be contacted at (956) 451-1283.

You will need a t shirt (preferably cotton). Sharp Scissors, Needle and thread, fabric glue or safety pins 1. Cut the bottom part of the t-shirt, just under the underarms.

It is always a great idea to recycle and t-shirts are no exception. These collars will not only keep you warm; they are easy to make. Christmas is almost here, and this may just be a great present for those on your list! Dress them up with a nice brooch, buttons, jewelry or ????--that’s up to your imagination! Betty Ramirez

2. Cut about 1 inch strips (see the blue one) or 2 inches (see the white one) until you get to the bottom.

half to make a short collar. 6. Tie the loop that you set aside on one end (I chose to hide the seams on the loops).

4. Lay them all together and pull together, once more. Set one loop aside.

7. I used a polo-type shirt and used the button to hold the collar together (this is where you will need the needle and thread, fabric glue or safety pins). The matching “bracelet” was made from the sleeves, using the same technique. On the white one, I just tied one loop and made a knot on each end.

5. You can leave them long, or fold them in

8. Decorate and wear!

3. Take the long loops and stretch them with your hands. This will curl each strip.

Don't want to make one, order yours today. Call me at 956.240.3255 to place an order!

Snow White is her name and she is a “burra” or female donkey. She was raised with goats, but now lives with a couple of cows and very protective of her “territory.” She does not like our Great Pyranese dogs, who protect the cattle, to be around her; but she, herself protects cattle or goats from predators. Snow White has pulled a small cart for many a trail ride and loves to be stroked, but don’t touch her ears! Donkeys bred with donkeys produce....DONKEYS! Other names for the Donkey, are Jackstock, Burro, Ass, Jackass, Jennet, Mammoth, Miniature Donkey or Mexican Burro. Although, Snow White is not a working animal, donkeys are very important in other countries, such as Mexico and India. The website, www.awbi.org, or the Animal Welfare Board of India, writes about the incessent work of these hardy animals and how they are used for transportation, moving goods and are a “major asset to human lives.” Their concern is the care of these animals, which are often mistreated. That website offers extensive care Donkeys and burros (as) were introduced in the 1500’s by the Spaniards. There are many different types, but they all belong to the same species, Equus Asinus. A male horse can be crossed with a female donkey to produce a jenny or hinny, whether male or female. Most prominent are the donkeys’ ears. The rump is also differently shaped than a horse’s. Their mane is stiff and usually clipped short. Now this is confusing. Then, what is a mule? A burro, donkey, also known as a jack, is crossed with a female horse to produce a mule. A mule can be male or female. All mules are sterile because the burro has 2 less chromosomes than the horse, which is a mismatch. Mules come in every color, even appaloosa, the website, ultimatehorsesite.com informs us. Further, they mention “famous” mules. Ruth, Festus’ mule in the show Gunsmoke; Blue in The Waltons and Gus from the Disney movie “Gus.” Mules are smart, contrary to the theory that they are stubborn. They can and are used for everything you can use a horse for, with the exception of breeding.
