In further business, the court approved in a 4-1
vote an amended motion to select NewLine for video
streaming services for the Waller County Commissioners Court at a yearly cost of $45,000, including equipment. The other bid, from Swagget Streaming, was
more than double the cost of New Line at $109,000.
Making commissioners court meetings available
online was part of Judge Duhon’s campaign promise of
creating transparency and open government in Waller
County.
Commissioners also voted to unanimously approve
the second quarterly payment to Waller County Economic Development for $17,500.
for each of its 57 counties.
This comprehensive study, conducted
in 2014, was released in March of 2015.
According to the research, children living
in Waller County fall below the state average in 13 of 20 key indicators affecting
the health and development of children
across the state.
Some Information included which
is below the state averages are: the coun-
ty’s infant mortality rate (8.4), 3rd grade
STAAR reading test scores (35% passing), food insecure children (25.3%),
and children living in poverty (26.9%).
25.9% of Waller County residents are uninsured and adult obesity, an integral factor in health evaluations, is 32%
Rankings are compiled based on a
child’s economic situation, educational
opportunities, health outcomes, and fam-
ily and community support. Texas children rank 42nd out of 50 states according
to the index.

On March 27, the Waller FFA Chapter held the 65th annual
Waller FFA Project Show at the Waller County Fairgrounds. The
chapter had an outstanding amount of participation with 71 exhibitors competing in the livestock show.
The species shown were breeding heifers, market broilers, market lambs, goats, steers, and hogs. The sale took place on Saturday,
March 28 and thanks to our very generous supporters and buyers,
the FFA set a new sale record of $146,000.
Fortunately, the sale total seems to continue to grow with
a $30,000 increase over the past five years. The chapter took the
initiative to auction off a scholarship pig which added $10,000 to
the Olen Gilbert Scholarship Fund. This will greatly benefit Waller
High School seniors who will begin their collegiate journey this
fall.
Students learn responsibility, leadership, work ethic, and
sportsmanship by being involved in such a cause. Waller High
School FFA Sponsor Craig Melton said, “We would like to thank
everyone who made this show and sale possible. Your assistance and
continued support does not go unnoticed and we are very grateful.
We look forward to another impactful and successful project show
in March of 2016.”

Amsler also reminded citizens of a Pct. 1 Town

concerns.
Commissioners voted unanimously to approve a
contract with Bickerstaff, Heath, Delgado, Acosta, LLP
for the provision of election precinct boundary assessments and waived requirements for bids for said services due to the limited time available to redraw lines

Waller Wonders - Here comes Peter Cottontail …
By Nancy Arnold
disclaimer before I tell you
about our Easter
gathering: we
do understand
the solemnity – and joy – of the
Easter season. We do understand
that it isn’t about chocolate eggs
and eating too much ham (if there
is such a thing as too much ham!).
A
Our faith is very important to our
family.
Family is the operative word
… we would all be less without
our family. That’s why our Easter
gathering was so important to us.
It gave us a chance to slow down,
visit, and just enjoy being together
for the day.
And boy, were we together –
lots of us! Last count I managed
was 36 adults in attendance and
nine little ones. Missing was our
entire Dallas contingent (seven
adults and two little ones), ‘cause
half of them were sick, and our
Wichita, Kansas folks (two adults
and one little one), one from Austin, and Roy Kruft, who was ailing
(but we sent him a plate). So, had
all of “our people” been here, that
would have been 46 adults and 13
little ones.
Don and Betty Kay Hart were
our brave – and gracious – hosts,
and let’s just say it’s a good thing
they are situated on one city block,
because we used every bit of the
space!
The highlight of any Easter
gathering with children is the Easter egg hunt. We laughed so hard
we nearly fell off the back porch
watching the frenetic activity.
Here’s one scene: two little ones,
under two years of age, who had
no idea why they were out in the
yard dragging around over-sized
baskets decorated with bunnies.
Sure, they could see the colorful
eggs scattered around, but for all
they knew, they were just big rocks
and small balls.
Finally the little girl got the
hang of it and started picking up
eggs and putting them in her basket. The boy paused his digging in
the dirt long enough to note what
she was doing and started taking
the eggs out of her basket and put-
ting them on the ground.
We could see his reasoning:
these objects were on the ground,
so obviously they belonged on the
ground, and they didn’t belong in
the basket. Ergo, he was going
to remove them from the basket
and put them back on the ground
where they belonged.
Thus began a routine worthy
of any vaudeville act: she picked
up an egg and put it in the basket.
He took it out and put it on the
ground. She picked it up and put
it in the basket. He took it out and
… well, you get the picture. This
went on for several minutes before
they abandoned that exercise to do
something else they observed the
big kids doing.
Turns out there must be something yummy inside those eggs.
So now, those two started trying
to pry the eggs open to get at the
goodies. When they finally suc-
ceeded, they started munching on
their treasure … foil and all! Just
thinking about biting into that foil
makes me shudder. And the looks
on their faces indicated that they
thought it was pretty awful too …
but the big kids were doing it, so it
must be good.
All of this, of course, was
captured on camera, so in a few
years – maybe 10 or 12? – we
should have a great time sharing
these antics with as many people
as we can.
This year we added dozens of
cascarones confetti eggs – to the
event, most of them handmade.
Now THAT was a big hit! Even
some of the younger ones got the
concept and they went around
smashing eggs on anyone they
could get close to, mostly adults.
Let’s just put it this way: a lot
of people, small and large, went
home with confetti in their unmen-
tionables. And when Don mows
the grass next week, there should
be a very colorful display.
Birthday greetings next week

Never Forget Our Government is Based on Consent of the Governed
Recently, citizens of Waller
County have been through a virtual wringer and all due to a lack
of county government transparency by the previous commissioner’s court. After a four-year,
hard fought battle, the City of
Hempstead and Citizens Against
the Landfill Hempstead (CALH)
finally won a victory for transparency when a jury of Waller County
citizens, in an 11-1 verdict, found
commissioners on the prior court
in violation of the Texas Open
Meetings Act and the Public Information Act. The win was well
worth the fight.
Key to the win is the fact that
the citizens protesting the con-
duct of the prior court knew their
rights and fought for them tooth
and nail, by hiring an expert legal
team, who worked tirelessly for
and won the citizen’s right to open
government.
Sadly, however, such a battle
should never be necessary. After all, isn’t that why Americans
fought a revolution and set up a
democratic republic 238 years
ago?
In a democracy, the principle
of accountability holds that government officials--whether elected or appointed by those who have
been elected--are responsible to
the citizens for their decisions and
actions. Transparency requires
that decisions and actions of those
in government are open to public
scrutiny and that all citizens have
a right to access such information.
Both concepts are central to the
idea of democratic governance.
Without accountability and transparency, democracy is impossible
and the notion of the will of the
people has no meaning.
Elections are the primary
means for citizens to hold their
country’s officials accountable
for their actions, and in Waller
County, the people did just that-by removing from office the of-
ficials they deemed had violated
their right to know.
But for elections, and the
people’s will to be meaningful,
basic rights must be protected
and affirmed, such as those found
in the Bill of Rights. However, if
citizens are to conduct their own
affairs, they must be informed on
how to determine their affairs and
how best to represent and execute
them.
A free press is also an essential guarantee of the public’s
access to information and it is essential that the people have a right
to gain access to information, regardless of one’s political views.
Throughout our nation’s history, the battle for transparency
has not always been easy. In fact,
it was not until 1966 that President Lyndon Johnson signed into
law the Freedom of Information
Act, which states, “...a democracy
works best when the people have
all government information that
the security of the nation permits.
No one should be able to pull the
curtains of secrecy around decisions which can be revealed without injury to the public interest.”
Without these three--elections, a free press, and a knowledgeable citizenry--government
is likely to succumb to corruption.
This has occurred throughout history when no controls have been
placed on government powers and
leaders have sought instead to
pursue their own interests in order
to retain power.
Luckily, the citizens of Waller
County had the knowledge to
know their rights and to fight government secrecy. Kudos to them.
James Madison once said,
“A popular government without
popular information or the means
of acquiring it, is but a prologue
to a farce or a tragedy or perhaps
both. Knowledge will forever
govern ignorance, and a people
who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with
the power knowledge gives.”
Never forget a basic principle
of our democratic republic stated
in the Declaration of Independence, “We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed
by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these
are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness. That to secure these
rights, governments are instituted
among men, deriving their Just
Powers from the Consent of the
Governed..”
“Consent of the Governed” is
key. The United States of America
was the first modern state formed
around consent of the governed.
The term implies that the people
are sovereign and consent through
elected representatives to the establishment of their own government.
But, that government is obligated to be transparent, not conducting government business in
secret. A current example of such
secrecy was carried out by former
Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, who is slated to be the Democratic nominee for the presidency.
Clinton sent all of her emails,
including those involving government business, through her own
private server, located in her home
in New York. In addition, she and
her staff chose, without oversight,
which emails to hand over to the
government, and which to destroy,
which is an obvious violation of
the people’s right to know.
Is this the kind of leader you
want as the next President of the
United States?
Americans must remember
that we are the government, and
as such, we must be knowledgeable of the law, for how otherwise
do we know when our rights have
been violated?
In Waller County, our new
Commissioners Court has – so far
-- brought in the sunshine, letting
the light of transparency shine on
all court proceedings. It has been
a welcome breath of fresh air,
and you can thank the citizens of
Waller County who participated
actively in county politics for
bringing about this change.
Let’s continue the battle for
transparency--on the local, state,
and national level--to ensure that
our nation’s leaders only continue
to do the work of government
with our consent--the consent of
We the People.

34th Annual Waller School Reunion Set
Letter to the Editor
This letter is for the young
people who decided, on the night
of March 25, 2015, to take the
only form of transportation a
disable man and his wife had.
You know who you are. It wasn’t
much of a vehicle -- an older
model white Chevy Blazer that
had no front bumper.
The couple it belongs to lives
in Prairie View at the retirement
center on a fixed income. In fact,
there are several disabled people
living in that retirement center.
They may be next, did anyone
think about that?
I guess you figured that they
don’t deserve to have any transportation. After all, they may
need to get to a doctor, or they
may need to buy food -- what
happens if they need to go to the
emergency room?
I’ll just bet your parents are
so very proud of you. A group of
fine, upstanding young people,
stealing from the disabled. I hope
your mama and daddy gave you
a great big hug for being two-bit,
no account thieves.
I hope you go to Church and
proudly tell your pastor how you
came to steal a Chevy Blazer with
no front bumper. After all, don’t
the Ten Commandments, given
by God to Moses, contain the rule
of thou shalt not steal?
Remember, anything you do
to other people, harm them, and
TIMES
THE WALLER
steal from them, take their lives
from them, will be given back to
you seven-fold. Your entire family
must be so very proud. I just wonder, if you are low enough to steal
from an old folks home, are you
going to rob your grandmother
and grandfather next?
Maybe your mother needs to
keep her pocket book hidden from
now on? Or your baby sister -- she
might have something worth stealing. After all, you are going to be
fine, upstanding thieves. Waller
and Prairie View are a close-knit
community, you will meet justice.

Adrienne Bottoms, John Menke
Bottoms-Menke Wedding
Miss Adrienne Rose Bottoms and Mr. John Mills Menke
were united in marriage on Saturday, December 13, 2014 at four
o’clock in the evening at Traditions Club in Bryan-College

by Laurie Bettis, a friend of the
groom. The arbor, decorated with
magnolia leaves, yellow roses,
white roses, and sprigs of eucalyptus and hollyhocks, was designed and built by the bride and
her father.

TxDOT Kicks Off Campaign Against Distraction
With more people dying
senselessly on Texas roads due to
distracted driving, the Texas Department of Transportation kicks
off its annual “Talk, Text, Crash”
campaign to urge drivers to give
their full attention to the road.
TxDOT’s campaign coincides
with National Distracted Driving
Awareness Month in April.
“Nearly 1 in 5 traffic crashes
in Texas is caused by a distracted
driver,” said TxDOT Deputy Executive Director John Barton.
“Last year, 468 people were killed
because someone took their attention off the road. How important
is a fleeting distraction when it
could end in the death of someone, perhaps even one of your
loved ones?”
Distracted
driving-related
crashes in Texas are highest
among 16- to 24-year-olds. In
2014, there were 100,825 crashes
in Texas involving distracted driving — up 6 percent from the previous year.
HEALTH Continued from page 1A
on Hwy. 1488 in Hempstead and
is available to everybody, regardless of insurance status. HealthPoint accepts most insurances as
well as Medicaid and CHIP patients.
HealthPoint offers discounts
for self-paying individuals and
healthcare on a sliding scale, based
on income. The facility provides
for well-visits, preventive care,
vaccinations, lab, x-ray, and health
screenings. Call 979-826-8200 for
more information.
The Episcopal Health Foundation notes that Texas counties have
significant work to do to honor the
promises of opportunity, equality,
health, happiness, and prosperity
we make to our children.
Dr.Patricia Gail Bray, Vice
President for Research at the Foundation stated, “We hope people in
each county will see this information and start conversations where
they live. We hope they turn data
into action.”
According to the Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety, drivers using a mobile phone are four
times more likely to cause serious
injury in a crash. Text messaging
is particularly dangerous. New
research conducted last year by
the Texas A&M Transportation
Institute showed it takes a driver
double the amount of time to react
when they are distracted by text
messaging. Additionally, sending
or receiving a text takes a driver’s
eyes away from the road for an av-
erage of 4.6 seconds. At 55 mph,
that’s the equivalent of driving the
length of a football field while
blindfolded.
While mobile phone use is
the most recognizable driving distraction, any type of behavior that
draws a motorist’s attention away
from driving is dangerous. TxDOT urges drivers to refrain from
texting, checking email, eating
and drinking, grooming, reading,
programming a navigation system, and adjusting music or other
audio device.
If a distraction absolutely
requires immediate attention, TxDOT reminds drivers to pull over
to a safe location and come to a
complete stop before diverting
Waller County residents can
their attention.

HISD Names Dr. Gutsch as Lone Finalist for Superintendent
Editor’s Note: The Waller
Times published a similar article from Hempstead ISD in the
Wednesday, March 11, 2015 edition of The Waller Times stating that
HISD had chosen Rick DeMasters
as their new Superintendent. We
have asked for clarification from
HISD on Demasters but did not get
a response as of press time.
On Monday night, March 30,
the Hempstead Board of Trustees
named Dr. Angela Gutsch as the
lone finalist for the vacant Superintendent position. Dr. Gutsch is
currently the Superintendent of
Queen City in northeast Texas,
with a student population of approximately 1150 students. Dr.
Dr. Angela Gutsch
Gutsch received her Bachelor’s
degree from Emporia State University and her Masters and Doctorate Degree from Texas A&M
Commerce.
In addition to being Superintendent at Queen City, Dr. Gutsch
served as the Director of Student
Services and Data Quality in
Greenville ISD, the Director of
Curriculum and Federal Programs at Pottsboro ISD, the Assistant Superintendent and Interim Superintendent at Uvalde ISD
as well as a classroom teacher in
Arlington. Dr. Gutsch has been
married for 25 years to husband
Jason, a Bio Medical Engineer.
They have two children, J.R. and
Halley. J.R. and Erica Gutsch live
in Tyler, and he is a sophomore at
UT Tyler majoring in Bio Medical
Engineering like his father. Halley is married to Nathan Palmer
and they live in Atlanta, Texas
and have two children, Henry and
Presley.
Dr. Gutsch stated “I am extremely grateful to the Board of
Trustees for the privilege and
opportunity to join HISD and
the Hempstead community. I am
very excited to get to Hempstead,
meet everyone, and begin working with all aspects of the school
and community to ensure that all
of our students have the future
they dream of.”
As per Board policy and state
law, the Board must wait the state
mandated 21 days before voting
to hire Dr. Gutsch as the Superintendent of Schools.
ALL the Blue Bell products.
Blue Bell has had an almostspotless record for 108 years. They
are taking the appropriate steps to
address this problem. They closed
the Oklahoma plant for a thorough
cleaning, and they had already
closed the ONE section of the
Brenham plant before all this hubbub.
Do we really need all this Big
Brother/Nanny State activity? Are
we no longer responsible for ourselves?
I sent emails to these retailers
today expressing my displeasure
with their actions and promising
to take my business elsewhere until they regained their senses. My
nephew tells me that Arlan’s has
Blue Bell on the shelves. So, now
you know. Let’s all go to Arlan’s
and buy ice cream!
Don’t forget the annual Waller
School Reunion on Saturday at
Schultz Junior High School cafeteria. Social time starts at 3:00,
followed by the program and dinner at 5:00. You really needed to
have your reservations in already,
but call Judy Bonner Hataway at
936-856-4225 to let her know you
are coming, and you can pay at the
door. This year’s speaker is former
Senator and now Comptroller of
Public Accounts, Glenn Hegar.
Until next week …

and Alison Christian, Kevin and
Lisa Carter, Alan and Beverly
Gunderson, Rip and Sue Evans,
and Bob and Cynthia Powers.
As is our usual pattern and not
doing anything calmly, our family
has a clutch of celebrations for the
coming week, including birthdays
for Ashlynn Smith (my granddaughter), Rebecca Hart (youngest of Don and Betty Kay), Kitty
McCaig (my sister-in-law and
Buddy’s sweet bride), and an anniversary for Wally and Linda McCaig Engel (my sister and brotherin-law). Now, for an important
question: will there be cake?
It may be without ice cream,
however, unless we make our own.
While that’s not a bad idea, the
fact that major retailers are pulling
their RETAIL Blue Bell products
off the shelves is just stupid. The
government AND Blue Bell have
already determined that the possible contamination of ice cream
products was within the INSTITUTIONAL products – those
little cups of ice cream sent to hospitals, cafeterias, and such. It has
NOTHING to do with the halfgallon tubs of Homemade Vanilla
or Rocky Road that you and I buy
when they are on sale.
Instead of posting an advisory
sign on the front of the Blue Bell
display and letting adult buyers
make their own buying decisions,
retailers (Kroger, H-E-B, and
Sam’s as of press time) just pulled

Bulldogs Advance to Regional Powerlifting Meet
Four Waller High School
powerlifters advanced to Region
IV Division I THSPA Powerlifting Championships held at Katy
Taylor High School on Saturday,
March 21. Ryan Anthis, Ivan Perez, Jacob Cadieux, and Josh VanSant all qualified for the meet by
finishing the season ranked in the
top ten in their respective weight
classes, and represented Waller
High School with outstanding
performances at the Regional
Meet.
Jacob Cadieux finished
fourth in the 148 lb. weight class
with a total of 1170 lbs. Cadieux
had the best day of his career bettering all of his lifts. He barely
missed his last dead lift of 480
lbs. that would have sent him
to the state meet. Cadieux displayed unbelievable effort on the
attempt, and all of his hard work
over the school year paid off.
Ivan Perez qualified for regionals in the 114 lb. day for the
first time and worked extremely
hard to get there; it was a great
learning day for Ivan as he fought
back from some early misfortune
and still continued to compete,
eventually putting him on the
awards stand in 5th place.
Freshman Ryan Anthis qualified for Regionals in the 123 lb.
weight class, and improved on every lift and increased his overall
total to a personal best. This outstanding performance catapulted
him onto the medal podium. Josh
VanSant qualified in the 181 lb.
weight class, which is pound for
pound one of the toughest in the
Region. VanSant fought hard and
finished just outside the medals
in 6th place.
Overall, the boys powerlifting team had a successful year.
The team had lifters competing
in three different invitational
meets, several new lifters, and
each team member gave their all
at every competition.

One of the highlights that
visitors to Washington on the
Brazos State Historic Site enjoy
is the bountiful wildflowers in
the spring. Bluebonnets, gaillardia, coneflower and pink evening primrose cover sections of
the park, creating spectacular
opportunities for budding photographers.
“Washington on the Brazos
is a beautiful setting any day
of the year with its 293-acres
of rolling grassland and pecan
trees, but it is especially incredible during the wildflower season,” says Jim Kolkhorst, President, Washington on the Brazos
Park Association.

Austin’s Lady Bird Wildflower
Center said that the wildflower
season might be delayed by
cooler than usual weather in
parts of the state, but many areas should have good blooms
thanks to ample fall and winter
precipitation.
“A bright spot is that last
year’s bumper crop of wildflowers meant more seeds were produced that could come up a year
or two down the road with good
fall rains. And added rain this
spring would boost the growth
of bluebonnets already growing in Brenham and elsewhere.
That rain would also provide a
shot at a great show of mid- to
late-summer bloomers such as
Mexican hat, blackfoot daisy
and golden tickseed in Central
Texas”, Kolkhorst stated.
At WOB, the bluebonnets
alone are a favorite of many
and typically are in bloom from
March through April. Being
somewhat ephemeral, the location and timing of large masses
of flowers is hard to predict,
but a joy when discovered. Areas around the Visitor Center
and down the walking trail to
the Wildflower Loop often offer visitors a view of the sweet
scented state flower as well as
an array of other Texas flowering beauties.
The Wildflower Loop is a
primitive trail approximately
one mile in length. The 45-minute walk provides opportunities
for birding, photography, wild-

flower and wildlife viewing. The
first portion of the trail takes
visitors through lush woods
consisting of a variety of oaks
as well as other trees. Among
the trees, the visitor can see
many birds such as cardinals,
blue jays, and woodpeckers.
The second portion of the trail
leads visitors past a wildflower
meadow.
There are picnic tables beside the pond at the entrance
of the trail and one picnic table
located towards the back of the
trail.
With blooming flowers, a
variety of butterflies and songbirds, Washington on the Brazos has much to offer the nature
lover, artist, photographer and
those looking for beauty and
peace.
Washington on the Brazos
State Historic Site is open 8 a.m.
to sundown and is located on
the Brazos River at the original
townsite of Washington, Texas,
a major political and commercial center in early Texas.

mitment to our customers in
North America,” Ebisu said.
Operations that will be relocated to the new business campus
include engineering, logistics,
procurement, manufacturing and
marketing. This consolidation
directly reflects Daikin’s global
commitment to local, in-country
manufacturing.
The new campus is projected
to be operational mid-2016. When
complete, it is where Daikin will
manufacture the full range of energy-efficient ducted residential
and light commercial products,
as well as commercial VRV (variable refrigerant volume) products
currently imported from other
inter-company business units located outside North America.
Ducted systems are typical
of conventional North American
construction, with VRV and ductless systems being more prevalent
elsewhere in the world. However,
VRV and ductless systems have
gained rapid acceptance in the
North American marketplace and
represent one of the fastest growing HVAC market segments.
Daikin Industries, Ltd.,
headquartered in Osaka, Japan,
is the world’s largest manufacturer of heating, cooling and refrigerant products in the world.
As a Global Fortune 1000 company with over 50,000 employees
worldwide, the company engages
in the development, manufacture, sales and aftermarket support of heating, ventilation, air
conditioning and refrigeration
equipment, refrigerants and other
chemicals. The company recently
celebrated its 90th anniversary.
The company also has manufacturing operations in 18 countries
and a sales presence in more than
90 countries.
Daikin North America LLC
(DNA) is a subsidiary of Daikin
Industries, Ltd. DNA and its affiliates manufacture heating and
cooling systems for residential,
commercial and industrial use
and are sold via a select group of
independent HVAC contractors.
A member of the Daikin
group, Houston-based Goodman
Global Group, Inc. is a leading
manufacturer of heating, ventilation and air conditioning products
for residential and light commercial use. Goodman’s products
are predominantly sold through
company-operated and independent distribution networks, with
more than 1000 total distribution
points throughout North America. Goodman factories are ISO
14001:2004 accredited, an international certification that recognizes manufacturing processes
and policies that are sustainable.
Established in 1934, Amana
has a history of designing innovative cooking, dish, laundry
and refrigeration household appliances. With its introduction
of the original countertop micro-
wave in 1967, Amana was put
on the map as a brand dedicated
to bringing convenience to consumers’ lives.
Amana brand is part of
Whirlpool Corporation, the
world’s leading manufacturer and
marketer of major home appliances, with annual sales of approximately $18 billion in 2012,
68,000 employees, and 65 manufacturing and technology research
centers around the world.

Grand Ceremony Held for Blue Ribbon Achievement
Fields Store Elementary
School invited the community
to celebrate the National Blue
Ribbon School flag raising ceremony on Friday, March 20. A
sea of blue t-shirts displaying
the national honor of academic
excellence filled the school
parking lot. Supportive parents,
community members, business
supporters, and cheering young
students were thrilled to be in
attendance.
Principal Melissa Crosby
opened up the program by
introducing Fields Store Elementary student Austin Hyatt,
who read aloud the history of
the school. Waller ISD Superintendent Danny Twardowski
welcomed the crowd and introduced the Waller ISD School
Board members in attendance,
Gary Buchanan, Kim Parmer,
David Kaminski, Bryan Lowe,
and Ronald Campbell, as well
as former Superintendent Richard McReavy and former Fields
Store Elementary Principal
Claudia Mordecai.
Christian Collins, representing U.S. Congressman Michael McCaul’s Office, awarded
the school a special certificate
from Washington, D.C. on behalf of the Congressman. After
Collins, Fields Store Elementary student Grace Hayslip
introduced the other student
speakers to address the crowd.

their writings aloud describing
the schools’ achievements and
what makes the school a great
place to learn.
Fifth-grade Student Blake
Green introduced his former
kindergarten teacher, Campus
Teacher of the Year Celeste

moving speech that credited
each student, teacher, adminis-
trator, parent, and community
member for making the award
possible. Crawford stated that
she was proud to be a part of
the Fields Store Elementary
School Team and is excited for
the school’s future.
Principal Crosby followed
Crawford’s speech by introducing students Tyler Smith
and Brendan Ware, who assisted Fields Store Elementary’s
Billy Breneman in raising the
National Blue Ribbon School
flag on the school’s front entrance flag pole. As the flag
was raised, students across the
parking lot sang I Can Learn, a
song that they learned for the
ceremony.
Fifth-grade Teacher Jean
Marki closed the ceremony,
and Twardowski thanked everyone in attendance for helping the school achieve this distinguished honor. Twardowski
stated that he has no doubt
that Fields Store Elementary
School will win the award
again, and he looks forward to
celebrating all of the wonderful things that the students of
Waller ISD will achieve in the
years to come.
WISD Students Give to Help Find a Cure
Students at I.T. Holleman
Elementary spent the month of
February in a coin war against
other grade levels.
The students collected spare
coins from their own piggy
banks, and solicited their friends
and families to help raise monies to assist the American Can-
cer’s Society’s Relay for Life.
The students raised a whopping total of $909 in the brief
time that the fundraiser was
held, and continued to collect
coins after the conclusion of the
fundraiser. The students are selling paper feet during the month
of March to stomp out cancer
for Relay for Life.
The Relay for Life event
will be held at the Waller ISD
Auxiliary Stadium on May 1.
Pictured are four Holleman students showing off the third grade
team’s money jar that was raised
for the event.

On Friday, March 27 the
Holleman Honor Choir participated in the Blinn College
Choral Festival where school
choirs ranging from elementary
to high school from all around
southeast Texas perform.
Holleman’s choir sang three
songs: Sing Together! Psallite!,
This Shall Be for Music, and
Yo Vivo Cantando! The program required the choir members to sing in three languages
including English, Spanish, and
Latin.
After performing in front of
family, friends, and other school
choirs, three judges awarded the
Honor Choir a first division rating, the highest award possible.
The judges offered high praise
on the comment sheets such as Fire rainbows or circumhorizontal arcs are a rare phenomenon in which an ice halo is formed by
