Wheeeee…What a week!!!
The Friends of the Library’s
annual Parade, Bake Sale, and
Auction is OVER for another
year. This was my first experience to see the “behind the
scenes” activities that it takes
to put on this extravaganza of
a fund raiser. This group is like
a fine oiled machine, planning, organizing, wrapping,
labeling, and seeing to all of
the little details to make this
event COLOSSUS!!!
The parade was a BLAST!!!
Junction Elementary had the
little ones positioned at the
Milky Way to wave at us. The
costumes were awesome this
year. Of course it helped to
have the Bake Sale and
Auction on Halloween.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the
parade of characters that
passed in review all up and
down Main Street.
The Bake Sale really began
on Thursday with all of the
baked items converging on the
library. My eyes could not
believe such beautiful, actually works of art, baked goods.
Friday morning, after the
parade, the Friends of the
Library were off with their
magnificent pecan pies, gorgeous chocolate cakes, various cookies, spice tea, salsa,
you name it, they had it for
sale. The Bake Sale didn’t last
that long because you folks
were ready, and you knew
what delicious items these
ladies and men had to offer. So
all the baked goods were purchased at an alarmingly fast
pace.
While the bake sale was taking place, Herman and Lily
Munster and all of their cast
were back at Kimble County
Library conducting the auction to beat all auctions. All of
the hilarity that goes on
between Charles Hagood and
Don Baugh as auctioneers,
and the bidders, makes for a
fun-filled day. WHAT A TIME
WE HAD!!!
Each year seems to be better
than the last. It is due to you
guys out there who live in this
great county. You are so supportive, not just of the Kimble
County Library but all of the
wonderful fund raisers that the
community has. If you had a
part in any way in this year’s
Friends of the Library’s
Parade, Bake Sale and
Auction…from the bottom of
our hearts…THANK YOU!!!
See you next year!
The Kimble County Library staff brought Alice in
Wonderland to life on Halloween as they dressed up as characters from the childhood favorite story for the Friends of
the Library Parade. Christina Porter was dressed as Alice,
Sylvia Lawler, as the Mad Hatter and Dian Side, as the Ace
of Spades.
JV Eagles fall to the Punchers
by Coach Rob McAdams &
Coach Landon Alls
The Junction Eagle JV football team traveled to Mason
last Thursday night and ran
into a very good Puncher
team. The final score was
Mason 42 to the Eagles 6. The
offense had a hard time moving the football most of the
night, but it was not without
hard effort. Danny Campbell
was our leading rusher, and
Brad Sandlin had his best
passing performance of the
year. Brad connected with
Alec Menchaca two times and
with Brad Wilcox three times.
The Eagles only score came
on a Sandlin to Wilcox pass.
Our defense played hard until
the end, but struggled to control the Mason offense. Dustin
Schoppe
and
Aaron
Hernandez were the leading
tacklers of the game. Jacob
Chapman added another solid
game at defensive end. The JV
football team is currently
scheduled to finish up the season at home this Thursday
against Sonora. We hope you
can come out and cheer our
Eagles to victory.

Texas Tales
by Mike Cox
Except for the occasional
thunder-like sound of a jet
taking off or landing at
Austin’s Bergstrom International Airport, the small
cemetery could be out in the
middle of nowhere.
But while the familyowned
burial
ground
appears isolated – the only
way in is a narrow, one-lane
road bordered with barbed
wire fences – the Hornsby
Bend Cemetery is entrapped by the modern
urban sprawl of Travis
County. It’s still out in the
country in comparison with
other parts of metropolitan
Austin, but less and less so
every year.
The oldest cemetery in the
county, laid out so long ago
its size is recorded in land
records by the antiquated
Mexican measurement of
varas (200 by 300), the
graveyard is the final resting place for many members
of one Texas’ pioneer families, the Hornsbys. Among
the graves are those of 15
former Texas Rangers. The
cemetery also has monuments honoring four other
rangers who, while not
buried there, are part of the
Hornsby clan.
In a way, all the graves
trace to Reuben Hornsby Sr.
and his wife Sarah Morrison
Hornsby, who on Oct. 16,
1832 received the first
Mexican
land
grant
approved for Travis County.
(Texas did not have counties back then, but eventually the area became part of
Bastrop County, and later
Travis.)
Originally from Mississippi, the couple came to
Texas in 1830. They lived
briefly at Matagorda and
then in Bastrop, with
Hornsby helping empresario Stephen F. Austin survey the land in the upper
portion of his colony. That’s
when Hornsby first saw a
piece of land along the
Colorado River he reckoned
would suit him “just fine.”
In July 1832, the Hornsby
family settled in a bend of
the river nine miles downstream from future Austin.
Three months later they
received a grant of a league
and a labor of land, totaling
Letters to the Editor
The Junction Eagle, Wednesday, November 5, 2008
4,604.1 acres. While the
area became known as
Hornsby’s Bend, the wellfortified Hornsby cabin was
called Hornsby Station.
The elder Hornsby not
only served as a ranger and
later as a volunteer soldier
in the Texas Revolution, he
planted the first corn ever
sown in Travis County, sat
on the county’s first jury,
helped lay out the county’s
earliest roads, assisted in
the surveying of Austin
when it became capital of
the Texas republic in 1839
and fathered the first Anglo
child born in the county.
Ranger graves in the
cemetery include:
• The family patriarch,
Reuben Hornsby Sr.
• Malcolm McLaurin
Hornsby
• William Watts Hornsby
• Reuben Hornsby, Jr.
• Josephus Hornsby
• Emory Hornsby
• Malcolm Morrison
Hornsby
• Daniel Hornsby
• Tom Platt
• Jacob “Jake” Platt
• Samuel Malcolm Platt
• Walter Mikle Robertson
Three rangers not a part of
the Hornsby family also are
buried there:
• Howell Hargett
• John Williams
• William Atkinson
The Hornsby rangers not
buried in the cemetery, but
with commemorative markers in the cemetery, include:
• John William Hornsby
(Oakwood
Cemetery,
Austin)
• Moses Smith Hornsby
(killed
in
action
in
Williamson County and
buried at the scene)
• Radcliff Platt, Jr.
(Oakwood
Cemetery,
Austin)
• John Radcliff Platt
(Gila, Arizona)
In ceremonies on October
25, the Former Texas
Ranger Association placed
sturdy metal Ranger markers (crosses bearing a symbolic Ranger badge) on the
19 graves or monuments.
“When you put on the
Ranger badge, you remember those who came before
you,” FTRA President Joe
Davis said at the dedication.
“And when somebody dies,
after the last song is sung
and prayer is said, the only
thing left you can do for
them is keep their memory
alive.”
With its 15 rangers, the
Hornsby Bend Cemetery
has the third most ranger
burials of any cemetery in
Texas. The largest number
of ranger graves is in the
Center Point Cemetery in
Kerr County. Thirty-two
men who served as rangers
lie in that cemetery.
Coming in second is the
Texas State Cemetery in
Austin, which has 19 ranger
graves.
So far, the FTRA has
placed ranger crosses on
more than 400 graves. Most
of the markers are on
graves in Texas, but some
have been put up in other
states.
How many men have been
rangers? No one has ever
done a precise count, but in
1982, genealogist Frances
Ingmire compiled the names
of more than 10,000 men
who served from the 1820s
to 1900. Another 1,500 to
2,000 men (and now
women) have worn Ranger
badges in the 20th and 21st

Web
site
www.hornsbybend.com features an excerpt from a
1921 Dallas Morning News
article about the Hornsby
Bend written by Edward
Dealey, son of the newspaper’s founder:
"There is a peculiar fitness that here in a lonely
spot among the mesquite
trees, within calling distance of the spot where once
stood the first house in
Travis county, are buried
together all the dead members of the Hornsby family.
In their lives, amid these
very scenes, they did much
to make Texas history and
pave the way for those who
followed in the more secure
paths of civilization. It is
meant that they should lie
here in perpetuity, the little
forest of their headstone
serving as a lasting memorial, not only to their own
bones, but to the vivid
scenes and stirring times in
which they took so large a
part."
Hard to come up with a
better joint epitaph for a
cemetery than that.

On October 4, 2008, President George W. Bush made a trip to Midland, and the Young
Republicans at UTPB were asked by Congressman Mike Conaway and Texas House
Representative Speaker Tom Craddick to assist with the Presidential visit.
Part of our group worked in the Conaway residence as ticket takers and food servers, and
the other part of the group was asked to drive in the President's motorcade. Amazingly, with
my somewhat bad driving record, the Secret Service asked me to be a member of the motorcade, and I gladly accepted. I drove the White House Press from the Midland International
Airport to the Conway home in Midland, then to President Bush’s childhood home, also in
Midland and back to the airport.
It was a really amazing experience. I didn’t get to meet President Bush or the First Lady,
but I did see them as they deboarded and boarded Air Force One.

Band Beats
What a fun half-time show
Friday night! The students
were all dressed up in their
Halloween costumes to perform their show for us. No
tricks… just a great treat! The
show included the 6th and 7th
grade band students and the
Golden Eagle High School
Band; this made them about 85
strong! Wow… they covered
the infield. Just imagine, in a
couple of years, this is going to
be the normal size of the band.
Great job to all and to Mr.
Wynn for another fun show to
entertain the home crowd.
This week’s “point of
view” is written by Abby
Jackson.
“I’m Abby Jackson, and this
is my second article.
The band had to be in their
seats, ready to play at 6:20
p.m. I was excited about playing our Halloween show for
halftime with the eight-five
students, including the sixth
and seventh graders. I was
dressed as the singer “Marilyn
Manson” for the show. We
practiced the Star Spangled
Banner and then practiced the
show out on the grass next to
the elementary building.
The band lined up by the
band hall to march to the
bleachers. I looked behind me;
the band was extremely long!
Editorial Opinion
Banner; then the game began.
We played a few songs and
before we knew it, it got close
to half-time, so we started
walking out to the corner of the
track. We circled up and
prayed and walked to the other
side and sat down to watch the
Mason band perform. When
they finished their performance and marched off the field,
we got in our lines.
“Band ten hut!” screamed
Lynsey and Addie (who was
dressed as a leprechaun).
“One band, one sound!” yelled
the band. “Band ten hut!”
screamed Lynsey and Addie
again. “Pride!” yelled the
band. “Forward harch!”
yelled Lynsey. We began
marching onto the field as
the percussion played their
cadence.
When we stopped in the
middle of the field, Mr. Wynn
came on the intercom and
spoke as “Dracula”. We began
playing the “Ghost Busters”.
That was a fun performance.
Then we played the “Hey
Song” and “Go Big Black”.
We sang the Addam’s Family
theme song, and then started
screaming and running and
froze into a J-shaped form and
played the fight song, then
marched off the field. It was a
fun performance, and I hope
everyone loved it.
We had third quarter off to
eat, then we played a few more
songs for fourth quarter.
I can’t wait to go to Menard
Friday. I hope a lot of people
go to the game! “Junction

Earlier this year, in response
to repeated requests for me to
find out “What the heck’s
going on with the bridge?” and
“What’s taking them so long?”,
I requested a meeting with, and
straight answers from, the
TxDOT personnel tasked with
the oversight of the South
Llano River Bridge repainting
project. In the July 16, 2008,
edition of The Junction Eagle, I

time, was “It will probably be

Their
explanations for the slow
progress mostly had to do with
frequent changes in, and the
lack of skill of, Blastco’s personnel, but they assured me
that things were going much
better.
Crenwelge said,
“They’re making a good
effort.”
I asked several times, “How

ished, and you’re telling me that
the ten spans will be finished in
just three months?” They insisted that this was possible.
Because I have limited
knowledge about paint
removal and bridge painting
techniques and to assure the
accuracy of my article, before it
was published, I provided a
copy of what I had written for
the July 16, 2008, edition of
The Junction Eagle to the afore
mentioned TxDOT personnel. I
asked them to check the article
for accuracy, which they did.
They made a few suggestions,
and I made their recommended
changes.
I should say that I had misgivings about the upbeat
nature of the report I was
given. The rumor “on the

progress. It was apparent
from casual observation that
very little had been completed
in more than ten months.
TxDOT’s contention that the
majority of the work would be
finished pretty close to the
mid-October/November projected completion date
seemed overly optimistic, if
not impossible, and it was
clear to me that the local citizenry
wasn't
buying
TxDOT's rosy story.
As with last year’s fiasco
over the same project on this
same bridge, I had the uncomfortable feeling that I was not
getting honest answers to my
questions. However, I published photos and explanations
given to me by these three
TxDOT employees whose
salaries, benefits, insurance and
retirement pay are funded from
my (and your) tax dollars. I
mention this only because it
seems to me that for that reason
alone, I (we) deserve honesty
from them.
Now, three months later, little has changed at the bridge.
The merchants near the bridge
say traffic and business are
down. They say they are suffering financially. The tunnel
is closed frequently, and the
directional light system that
was supposed to help these
businesses is tedious, at best.
At the October 13 City
Council meeting, several representatives of these businesses
were present to ask the Mayor
and City Aldermen if there was
anything the Council could do
to get the job moving. They
pointed out that, regardless of
what Crenwelge had been
telling the City Council at its
monthly meetings, the work on
the bridge is obviously far
behind. The business owners
asked for help getting accurate
information from TxDOT and
some indication of when this
mess (and the resulting damage
to their businesses) is going to
be over.
Junction Mayor James
Murr explained that the City
has no authority with TxDOT
but volunteered to facilitate a
meeting with TxDOT personnel to try to get some answers.
That meeting took place on
Tuesday, October 21.
Crenwelge, Ruffin and Lewis
Nowlin attended from the local
TxDOT office. Karl Bednarz
represented the district office.
Schwerdt was there, as was
Brian Merrill, from TxDOT in
Austin. (See the article in the
October 29 edition of The
Junction Eagle for more on that
meeting.)
They announced that they
had underestimated how long
the project would take.....by
about a year, and that they
couldn’t say for sure, but were
currently predicting a new completion date of December,
2009, or perhaps later. So, as of
now, two companies have spent
two years, and no one knows
how many tax dollars, working
on the South Llano River
Bridge, and they are basically
starting the clock over...... again.
In an effort to find out
what's the trouble with the
bridge project, I have interviewed current and former
Blastco and TxDOT
employees, supervisors and
inspectors. Understandably,
everyone who spoke to me
about the situation on the
bridge restoration project did
so under conditions of
anonymity. I have seen photographs and videos that back up
what they have told me. I
have also cross-checked the
information I've been given.
The anecdotal information
is too lengthy to publish here.
Primarily, I have discovered
that there is a significant difference between what TxDOT
personnel (Crenwelge, Ruffin
and Schwerdt) and Blastco
and several qualified, certified
and experienced inspectors
believe is acceptable quality
workmanship in both blasting
removal of the lead paint, and
the repainting.
Blastco employees say that
these three men, who are
inspecting the blasting and
painting work, lack expertise
and have no experience (other
than last year’s fiasco with
Texas Bridge Partners where
Crenwelge and Ruffin were in
charge of that project also).
Crenwelge and Ruffin are not
certified in the blasting
removal of the lead paint nor
the painting of steel bridges.
Schwerdt has passed the NACE
test (i.e. book learning), but has
never blasted or painted a
bridge (practical how-to). Yet
they frequently close down the
job, even over-riding the recommendations of their own
inspectors that TxDOT hired to
judge the quality of Blastco’s
work. These inspectors’ pay is
substantial, and several that I
spoke with have 20 to 25 years
of bridge-refurbishing practical
experience, in addition to the
required NACE certification.
I’m aware that Blastco’s
quality control/inspectors’
opinions could be suspect
since Blastco is paying their
salaries. However, the opinions and recommendations of
the inspectors hired by and paid
by TxDOT are also being disregarded. This makes no sense
to me.
TxDOT had hired MacTech
(both last year and this year) to
provide consultants to inspect
Blastco’s work. Many have
come and gone....I’m told there
have been 13 inspectors who
have either been removed by
Crenwelge, or have left in frustration. MacTech withdrew
from its very lucrative contract
with TxDOT. The company is
working on other TxDOT jobs,
but its inspectors aren’t willing
to work with the Junction
TxDOT office, based on the
experiences they’ve had here.
According to the men I interviewed, the bridge-refurbishing
community is small. Junction,
Texas, has “a reputation” and
inspectors and supervisors
are not willing to come here.
Another issue is TxDOT’s
willingness to extend the date
at which “liquidated damages”
go into effect. The contract
(between Blastco and TxDOT)
includes provisions for a penalty of $1,100 to be paid by
Blastco for each day the job
goes past the contract completion date. Its inclusion was to
encourage Blastco to finish at
an agreed upon date. Since
TxDOT has now agreed to
move the completion date to
December, 2009, that liquidated damages penalty won’t go
into effect until that date.
According to Nowlin,
TxDOT has hired yet another
company to send its inspectors
here to oversee the quality of
work being done on the bridge
by Blastco. Hopefully, this
time, they will be allowed to
provide the services for which
they have been hired.
According to Nowlin, the new
inspectors are certified, experienced and qualified. My
suggestion is that they be
allowed to do that job, and
those who are not certified,
experienced and qualified be
assigned something about
which they are more knowledgeable and experienced.
At the end of the October 21
meeting between the business
owners and TxDOT personnel,
Mayor Murr asked that there be
quarterly meetings. TxDOT
personnel agreed to attend and
to provide information on the
project’s progress.
This commentary is my
opinion, based on my lengthy
investigation of the bridge situation. Like my grandmother
used to tell me, “Talk’s cheap.
The proof of the pudding is in
the tasting.” I guess we will
see.

The Junction Eagle, Wednesday, November 5, 2008
The Kimble County Friends
of the Library wants to express
its sincere gratitude and appreciation to everyone who contributed to the overwhelming
success of the 2008 Library
Bake Sale and Auction. You
gave from the heart, raising
more than $20,000.00! That is
an astonishing feat, and isn’t it
wonderful to be a part of a
community that truly understands the integral importance
of, and promotes the values of,
our local library!
An accomplishment of this
magnitude could not happen
without an entire village of
households baking delectable
pies, cakes, cookies, and
preparing canned-goods from
their gardens to be sold at the
most beautiful bake sale on the
planet. Many graciously gave
cash contributions and donated items for the auction, and
we all had fun participating in
friendly, competitive bidding anxiously waiting to have
them delivered to our homes
and businesses by the infamous celebrities, Herman and
Lily Munster (aka Deputy
Steve Brown and Patty
Menchaca). Thank you, Steve
and Patty, for your amusing
cooperation, and for making
everyone’s day!
There are so many to thank,

“the man with the last word”,
Charles Loeffler, maintained
sense and sensibility and from
sheer mayhem. (Charles prefers order; however he did
adjust to a few surprises.)
Charles, we could not do this
without you. Elaine Councill
stayed grounded assisting
Charles with accurate records,
making certain the correct
items were awarded to the
rightful winners.
B. Lee Spiller and Amy
Goodman Gibson did a superb
job posting the bids; while
Judy Gardner, Ann Lemon and
Nancy Snow kept busy supplying the announcers with
current items up for bid.
Thanks to the celebrity drivers, Lee Hall (the Junction Fire
Department) and Carla Ivins,
for providing Herman and
Lily Munster transportation
and delivery to the winning
bidders. Taking pictures and
assisting our celebrities were

The Junction Eagle, Wednesday, November 5, 2008
Eagles
Continued from Page 1
The Eagles called on their
own honcho, senior running
back Dustin Stapp, and he
delivered. On the first play
from scrimmage, Stapp broke
loose for an 83-yard run, hauling it into the Mason end zone,
which would have gotten the
Junction Boys and Eagles fans
into the game. A personal
foul/chop block penalty nullified the TD and brought all
celebration to a halt.
The Eagles offense pressed
on, with Stapp and Kyle
Wimberley making some
headway. On a second and
two, from the Mason 45, a
Puncher blocked a Jason
McKinnerney pass and a
Mason defender picked it off.
Then, a really fired-up, and
increasingly confident, Puncher
offense made 31 quick yards
and were thinking “dead
birds”, but senior outside linebacker Sam Herring pressured
the Puncher quarterback into
throwing an ill-advised pass,
and Stapp grabbed it.
The Eagles backs, Stapp
and Wimberley, took turns
moving the ball 30 yards in
three plays, but then Junction
offense stalled at midfield,
turning the ball over on
downs.
After that, the teams traded
the pigskin a couple more
times, but went into halftime
break at 13-0.
Both schools’ halftime
shows were presented with
band members dressed in
Halloween costumes. Eight
of Mason’s football players
also played in the Puncher
band, but whatever they
missed hearing from their
coaches didn’t effect their second half performance.
Starting the third quarter,
the Eagles offense still didn’t
show any fire in their bellies
and went three and out.
When the Punchers offense
took over, Stapp caused their
ball carrier to cough up the
ball and Herring piled on it.
This time, the Eagles offense
put together a 68-yard drive
down the field. Stapp ran it in
from the one yard line.
Ashton Thomas’ kick was
good. The Eagles cut the
Punchers’ lead, 7 to 13. With
four and a half minutes left in
the third quarter, the Eagles
could have made it a game.
But.....the Punchers had
come to Eagle Stadium to
win. They took Eagles sophomore kicker Rafael Fuentes’
kickoff for a good run, finally
stopped by the combined
efforts of Cody Hale, Sandlin
and Wimberley. With the help
of another Eagles personal
foul penalty, the Punchers
took nine plays to cover 62
yards of Kimble County real
estate, where Hudson notched
another TD for Mason.
Now trailing 20 to 7 and
with time draining out of the
fourth quarter, the Eagles and
Punchers traded possessions
several times, with limited
success.
With only five minutes left
in this annual rivalry, and the
ground game sluggish, the
Eagles took to the air. Taking
possession with less than three
minutes remaining, on first
and ten on their own 29, a
McKinnerney pass was
picked off.
Back on the field after only
one play, the Eagle defense
sent the Punchers offense
back to the sidelines with
minus three yards after four
attempts. Eagles defenders
Jordan Keeton, William
Whitworth, Hale, Victor Parga
and Stapp took care of business, and Herring shot
through the line and took a
ball carrier down for a six
yard loss.
With three-quarters of the
field to cover, their ground
game shut down and time running out, the Eagles tried three
pass plays, but were unsuccessful.
On the fourth
attempt, McKinnerney was hit
as he released the ball. A
Mason defender pounced on it
on the Junction seven yard
line. Rather than trying to
score, Mason let the clock run
out and began the celebration.
Stand-outs on the Eagles
defense were Stapp, with 20
tackles, one interception, and
one forced fumble; Sandlin,
13 tackles; Parga, 10 tackles;
Wimberley, 9 tackles.
The Punchers came to
Junction with the will to win.
They aren’t a more talented
team, but on Halloween night
in 2008, they were the more
determined team.
The Eagles will either find
their will and determination in
time to play the very tough
Menard Yellowjackets in their
own nest next Friday night, or
it will be a very long drive
home.
Let’s all demonstrate our
support for our young athletes. Show up in Menard en
masse and be loud and proud
and confident that the
Junction Boys can take the
District 29A championship!
Maggie Molesworth, 19-year-old daughter of Lynn and Debi
Molesworth, killed this 8-point buck with her pink compound bow on the Molesworth Ranch. Interesting fact, the
bow was bought with her first paycheck, and the buck was
her first killed with the bow.
Nancy Timms showed up at the West Bear Creek party on
Friday dressed as a pumpkin. Timms works for Meals on
Wheels and fell right in to help serve the crowd.
“Back off, Buddy!” Just after halftime, the Junction Eagles’ tough running back, Dustin Stapp (33), holds a would-be
Puncher tackler at bay as he sweeps right. Also visible in the action are teammates Kyle Wimberley (8), Ed Adams (54)
and William Whitworth (70).
Janet Adams ended up serving time serving chili at the
West Bear Creek annual hunters party.
Recently, actor Matthew McConaughey, a native Texan,
stayed with his family at the Best Western Dos Rios. Here,
he takes a moment to pose with the motel manager, Linda
Townsend. He was on a fishing trip, traveling in his
AirStream trailer, visible in the background.

This very handsome young basset hound was found last
week in the middle of nowhere in West Texas with cactus
thorns in his skin and fleas all over him. He was taken to
Animal Trustees of Austin where he was checked out, deflead, de-wormed, vaccinated, and neutered. If you know of

Junction
ISD
meets
Adequate Yearly Progress
Junction ISD has met the
“Adequate Yearly Progress”
standards established by the
federal government under the
No Child Left Behind Act.
Statewide, 75 percent of the
schools met the accountability
standard.
Our students continue to
exceed the standards established by the state and federal
governments. The dedication
of our students and teachers
continues to pay off.
The schools’ AYP ratings
are based on various indicators-performance on state
assessments in reading/language arts and math at grades
3-8 and 10, participation rate
on those two state assessments, and either the high
school graduation rate or the
attendance rate at the middle
and elementary school levels.
At least 95 percent of the
students have to be tested on
each test, and at least 60 percent of the students have to
pass the reading/language arts
test. In math, the percentage
Senior
having to pass is 50 percent.
Junction ISD had 100 percent participation rates on both
tests. Junction ISD students,
as a group in grades 3-8 and
10, exceeded the required
passing standards with 94 percent of all of students mastering the TAKS test in
reading/language arts and 83
percent mastering the TAKS
math tests.
The graduation rate in
Junction ISD was 91.7 percent
in 2007, up from 88 percent.
The required federal standard
is 70 percent. The required
federal attendance at the middle and elementary school
level is 90 percent at each
campus. Both the middle and
elementary schools exceeded
the standard.
The AYP system imposes
sanctions on schools and districts that miss AYP for the
same reason two or more
years in a row. No Junction
ISD schools fall into this category.
To review all of the AYP
reports for Junction ISD and
its schools, visit www.tea.

The Junction Eagle, Wednesday, November 5, 2008
Many activities held in Kimble County over the weekend
Jamey Newbury buys cookies from Joyce Brown, a “saleslady” for the annual Friends of the Library auction and
bake sale. Brown’s goodies were sold at West Bear Creek.
Herman and Lily were caught delivering a “slow-smoked
brisket” purchased by The Junction Eagle. The notorious
characters were chauffeured by the Junction VFD.
Batman (Clair Schultis) and Robin were seen during the Friends of
the Library parade held last Friday morning. Robin, in the passenger seat, decided to give Batman the wheel so that he could view all
the surrounding activities and unusual dressed people.
David Dobbins watches over Ira Kirkpatrick to make sure
he makes the pancakes “just the right size”. Both cooks are
now old hands at flippin’ flapjacks. Maybe their wives,
Marc’ and Regina, will take the next couple of Sundays off
and let the men have kitchen duties.
Making sure everything runs smoothly on the serving lines at the annual West Bear Creek hunters
party is Kimble County Meals on Wheels’ Su Carlile.
Collecting money and tickets at the door of the annual
Rotary Club Pancake Supper was this “friendly” Rotarian
pirate (aka Derrick Ard).
Always smiling and giving generously, the Johnstons, Donna, Tom, Linda and Ford, greet party-goers at the gate
along with employee Duker Ragsdale. West Bear Creek has been opening its arms for the annual hunters’ party
since 1982 when it was started by former owners, Bill and Hazel Mansfield.
Brightening spirits in the halls and in the patients at
Junction Medical Clinic are, from left, Dr. Thao Truong,
Lanette Murr, Christina Perez and Becky Kott.
Frederica Wyatt is always energetic and ready
to volunteer. Caught with her hand in the butter,
she is filling “to go” boxes at the annual Rotary
Club Pancake Supper.
Boooootiful ladies at Buster’s Laundry wear their best disguises on the job during Halloween. They are, from left,
Carolyn Mahanay, Jeanna Risinger, Raquel Salinas and
Trina Ellingwood.
These four party goers went to Legendary London Hall last Friday night in
order to enjoy fellowship, dancing and Gary P. Nunn’s music. Wonder if the
two on the left danced with their masks on?
