Town by Grice King My goodness, where has this year gone so far? Hard for me to accept that its Easter time again! A few years ago we started a new Easter egg tradition around our house. It’s fairly labor intensive, but the kids really enjoy it. We go out on Saturday evening and “plant” jelly beans that the Easter bunny then turns the jelly bean “seeds” in to suckers, tootsie pops, and just any kind of larger wrapped suckers we can find. It sure seemed to add some extra excitement to the mad dash and competition that siblings end up making of the day. From our family to yours, we hope you have an excellent Easter and that everyone gets their fill of eggs and sugary goodness! Happy Easter! Here is some more of what’s happening around town this week: ++++++++ Whaley United Methodist Church is having its BUNNYPALOOZA on Saturday, March 26 from 1:00 to 3:00 pm in the church yard. Whaley is located at 701 Rosedale Drive in Gainesville. This event is free to all children of egg hunting ages! ++++++++ The Gainesville Car Club will have their monthly meeting Tuesday, March 29 at 6:30pm at the Smokehouse in Lindsay. The car club is open to anyone that has an old or classic car, or just loves old cars. ++++++++ Members of First Presbyterian Church invite everyone to come celebrate Holy Week with them! On Thursday there will be a traditional Maundy Thursday service at 7:00 pm which includes the celebration of the Lord’s Supper and Tenebrae service. On Good Friday Jesus’ last hours, crucifixion and burial will be commemorated with a series of self-guided “Pray Stations” which will be available at the church from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm.

Pecan • Gainesville, TX Office: 940.665.2320 The Weekly News March 23, 2016 Muenster Hospital Now Offers MRI Services MUENSTER - Muenster Memorial Hospital now provides state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to area residents via a mobile unit available weekly at the hospital. In partnership with Advanced Imaging Management, LLC, of League City, Texas, MMH is now accepting outpatient appointments in addition to providing diagnostic scanning for patients in the hospital. The MRI delivers both remarkable image quality and high productivity in a patient-friendly setting. With patient comfort in mind, the large 60 cm bore and 350 pound weight limit provides a comfortable care environment. The 1.5 Tesla field strength and advanced gradient system provide fast exam times and excellent high resolution images. MRI diagnostic scanning uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make digital images of organs and structures inside the body. In many cases, MRI gives more detailed information about structures in the body than can be seen with an X-ray, ultrasound, or computed to- mography (CT) scan. Doctors may order MRI scans to help diagnose multiple sclerosis, brain tumors, torn ligaments, tendonitis, cancer and strokes, for example. Brian Roland, Chief Executive Officer for Muenster Memorial said, “The addition of MRI services is part of the commitment we continue to make in serving our residents. If we can provide a quality product and keep people close to home or work, we feel good about that.” MRI services are provided in a uniquely-built mobile unit. This allows multiple hospitals to share MRI services without creating the large capital expenditure of purchasing an onsite unit. The 400 square foot unit contains the MRI system, a control room, a computer room, and a dressing area. The MRI does not use any radiation and is completely safe for patients that do not have metal or electrical devices in their bodies. Patients may listen to music while in the MRI, which keeps the environment relaxed. MRI exams must be ordered by a physician. Patients can ask their physicians to schedule their procedure by calling 940759-6121 or faxing 940759-5080.

Pecan • Gainesville, TX Office: 940.665.2320 The Weekly News March 23, 2016 Opinions Patrick J. Buchanan Suicide of the GOP -- or Rebirth? By Patrick J. Buchanan “If his poll numbers hold, Trump will be there six months from now when the Sweet 16 is cut to the Final Four, and he will likely be in the finals.” My prediction, in July of 2015, looks pretty good right now. Herewith, a second prediction. Republican wailing over his prospective nomination aside, Donald Trump could beat Hillary Clinton like a drum in November. Indeed, only the fear that Trump can win explains the hysteria in this city. Here is The Washington Post of March 18: “As a moral question it is straightforward. The mission of any responsible Republican should be to block a Trump nomination and election.” The Orwellian headline over that editorial: “To defend our democracy, the GOP must aim for a brokered convention.” Beautiful. Defending democracy requires Republicans to cancel the democratic decision of the largest voter turnout of any primaries in American history. And this is now a moral imperative for Republicans. Like the Third World leaders it lectures, the Post celebrates democracy -- so long as the voters get it right. Whatever one may think of the Donald, he has exposed not only how far out of touch our political elites are, but how insular is the audience that listens to our media elite. Understandably, Trump’s rivals were hesitant to take him on, seeing the number he did on “little Marco,” “low energy” Jeb and “Lyin’ Ted.” But the Big Media -- the Post, Wall Street Journal, New York Times -- have been relentless and ruthless. Yet Trump’s strength with voters seemed to grow, pari passu, with the savagery of their attacks. As for National Review, The Weekly Standard and the accredited conservative columnists of the big op-ed pages, their hostility to Trump seems to rise, commensurate with Trump’s rising polls. As the Wizard of Oz was exposed as a little man behind a curtain with a big megaphone, our media establishment is unlikely ever again to be seen as formidable as it once was. And the GOP? Those Republicans who assert that a Trump nomination would be a moral stain, a scarlet letter, the death of the party, they are most likely describing what a Trump nomination would mean to their own ideologies and interests. Barry Goldwater lost 44 states in 1964, and the GOP fell to less than a third of Congress. “The Republican Party is dead,” wailed the Rockefeller wing. Actually, it wasn’t. Only the Rockefeller wing was dead. After the great Yellowstone fire in the summer of ‘88, the spring of ‘89 produced astonishing green growth everywhere. 1964 was the Yellowstone fire of the GOP, burning up a million acres of dead wood, preparing the path for party renewal. Renewal often follows rebellion. Republican strength today, on Capitol Hill and in state offices, is at levels unseen since Calvin Coolidge. Turnout in the GOP primaries has been running at levels unseen in American history, while turnout in the Democratic primaries is below what it was in the ObamaClinton race of 2008. This opportunity for Republicans should be a cause for rejoicing, not all this weeping and gnashing of teeth. If the party in Cleveland can bring together the Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich forces, the White House, Supreme Court and Congress are all within reach. Consider. Clinton was beaten by Bernie Sanders in Michigan, and pressed in Ohio and Illinois, on her support for NAFTA and the trade deals of the ClintonBush-Obama era that eviscerated American manufacturing and led to the loss of millions of factory jobs and the stagnation of wages. Sanders’ issues are Trump’s issues. A Trump campaign across the industrial Midwest, Pennsylvania and New Jersey featuring attacks on Hillary Clinton’s support for NAF- TA, the WTO, MFN for China -- and her backing of amnesty and citizenship for illegal immigrants, and for the Iraq and Libyan debacles -- is a winning hand. Lately, 116 architects and subcontractors of the Bush I and II foreign policy took their own version of the Oxford Oath. They will not vote for, nor serve in a Trump administration. Talking heads are bobbing up on cable TV to declare that if Trump is nominee, they will not vote for him and may vote for Clinton. This is not unwelcome news. Let them go. Their departure testifies that Trump is offering something new and different from the foreign policy failures this crowd did so much to produce. The worst mistake Trump could make would be to tailor his winning positions on trade, immigration and intervention -- to court such losers. While Trump should reach out to the defeated establishment of the party, he cannot compromise the issues that brought him where he is, or embrace the failed policies that establishment produced. This would be throwing away his aces. The Trump campaign is not a hostile takeover of the Republican Party. It is a rebellion of shareholders who are voting to throw out the corporate officers and board of directors that ran the company into the ground. Only the company here is our country. Copyright 2016 Creators. Com Mark Shields Missing: Any Challenge for the Common Good By Mark Shields For the presidential campaign of 2016, the best estimate is that the candidates, their political action committees, the political parties and so-called “independent” committees will raise and spend $5 billion -- which would be twice as much as was spent in the 2012 presidential campaign. With the singular exception of Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who has fueled his campaign with more than 4 million individual contributions -- averaging, as he is quick to tell us, just $27 each -- presidential candidates, to be competitive, must and do spend a lot of time in the company of and courting rich people who are capable of making six-figure donations to their campaigns. It’s a pretty good bet that individuals who are capable of writing a six-figure check do not live in public housing or depend upon public transportation or public recreation, and they probably do not educate their children in public schools. The Republican front-runner, New York developer Donald Trump, has avoided the fundraising frenzy. But his own personal fortune keeps him comfortably distanced from the pressures faced by the parents of the nearly 90 percent of American children who go to and rely upon public schools. America’s political language is impoverished. Where is the American appeal to the common good? Let’s be clear: It is less hazardous politically for any candidate to coddle voters -us -- rather than to challenge us. As University of Massachusetts wise man Ralph Whitehead has noted, the cherished tradition of sacrifice in this nation has long been in decline. Our culture has devalued individual sacrifice for the common good and has been reluctant to recognize, let alone to remind us of, the mutual obligations we, as citizens, owe. There has been an unspoken collaboration between America’s conservatives, who want to privatize and deregulate the economy, and America’s liberals, who want to privatize and deregulate the culture. Privatization of the economy leads to the depreciation of the public sector and, inevitably, to a country where those of affluence and influence (but not families of ordinary means) are able to safely insulate themselves from any deterioration in public services. What Whitehead sees is an almost implicit libertarian bargain that has emerged from liberals and conservatives: “I won’t meddle with your lifestyle if you won’t meddle with my free markets.” The highest value becomes a nonjudgmental tolerance. The escape clause for Catholic Democrats who believe abortion is wrong becomes “I do not wish to impose my views on others.” The fatal flaw in this logic is simply to substitute in place of abor- Letter to the Editor...

The (...) denotes areas that have been edited. To the Editor, An outrageous event occurred at the Cooke County Courthouse last week that should be shared with The Weekly News and the citizens of Cooke County. The Cooke County Clerk’s office provides several area newspapers on their counter for the use of the general public and for customers who are in the courthouse conducting business. I had heard that last week’s edition of The Weekly News contained an article that reported Derrell Comer, a candidate for District Attorney in the March primary, was endorsing and supporting John Warren for District Attorney in the May run- off primary. As a supporter of Mr. Comer, I was interested to read his thoughts. Unfortunately, I was told by several persons who witnessed the event, The Weekly News had been removed from the County Clerk’s publication display by the wife of Keith Orsburn. The Weekly News also deposits several of their papers on the second floor of the courthouse for the public’s use, and I was told all of these papers had also been removed and dis- carded by the same person who removed The Weekly News from the County Clerk’s office. These actions go against the very fabric of what America stands for. We are not a Third World Banana Republic whose elected officials stay in power by censoring public information and hiding the truth from its citizens. Both Cooke County, Texas and America deserve better than this! Jim Austin Gainesville tion child prostitution, slavery or homophobia. Politics brims with examples of one side’s efforts to impose its ethical values on the other. That is exactly what the continuing debate over the Affordable Care Act is. If your opponent is unpopular enough, you can win a presidential election by simply being the other guy. But to successfully lead the nation, a president needs an affirmative vote endorsing what that president seeks to do in office. So the presidential candidates in 2016 need now to tell us what sacrifices for the nation’s well-being and for the common good they would ask of all of us over the next four years. But they must not blow smoke; we are grown-ups who know that the future will not be painless. America is about “We the People,” not all about “Me the Person.” We know, as the only American who ever won the White House four times taught us, that “the test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.” Copyright 2016 Mark Shields Distributed By Creators.

The Weekly News March 23, 2016 Home Hospice Caregiver Workshop Set for April GAINESVILLE - Being a caregiver can be a scary proposition to someone who has never cared for someone before. There are lots of questions and uncertainties. Caregivers often feel as if they have more things than they can handle and no time for themselves.

In our Caregiver Workshop, you will be better prepared to have conversations with medical providers when you talk about care, needs, finances, and legal options. You will also learn how to safely care for someone as they require more attention from you. A key part of the training is helping you be better prepared to take care of yourself. “The caregiver class provides information about the mechanics of caring for your loved one, as well as tools for self-care while providing care to your loved one. Caring for self is not selfish. Caring for self is imperative,” stated Vicky Lindsey, LCSW. Those attending the workshop sessions will hear from professionals including physicians, nurses, social workers, and chaplains. They will have the chance to learn about a wide range of topics, including physical care, care of the caregiver, emotional concerns, and questions to ask their physician. “The thing that caregivers are most frightened of is the unknown,” said Dr. Ronald Van Buskirk, Medical Director of Home Hospice. “They long to be prepared for what is going to happen; the more information, guidance, and support we can give them, the less anxiety and stress they will be bur- dened with in their role as a caregiver.” The Caregiver Workshop will be offered on four consecutive Tuesdays, April 5, 12, 19, and 26 from 5:30 pm until 7:00 pm in the Community Room at Muenster State Bank in Gainesville, located at 1601 Hwy 82 W. Light refreshments will be served. There is no charge to attend the workshop and it is open to anyone in the community who is caring for a loved one. Register by April 1, call Paula Britain at (940) 6659891 or by email at paula. [email protected]. You can find more information for caregivers at http:// www.homehospice.org.

Pecan • Gainesville, TX Office: 940.665.2320 The Weekly News March 23, 2016 Callisburg’s Croninger Named UIL Young Filmmaker State Champion CALLISBURG - Callisburg High School senior Cari Croninger won backto-back state titles in UIL Division I animated film on March 2 in Austin, Texas at the Young Filmmakers Competition. “I have a great appreciation for all of the other contestants and acknowledge how hard they worked. I truly appreciate seeing that work ethic and passion in other students as they compete,” Croninger said. Drop the Mic, Croninger’s 3-minute animation depicts a world of technology human-hybrids. The “microphone” is unhappy with his situation and wishes he could change his fate. After a sequence of events he realizes he can make changes by voicing his own opinions instead of having others voice their opinions through him. “My intent with this film was to inspire students to find what they are truly good at,” Croninger said. Croninger returned to state competition this year wondering if she could again repeat the success she enjoyed last year. “Seeing the competition this year allowed me to see how much I’ve improved and makes me want to keep doing animated film,” Croninger said. Callisburg High School offers a solid core of subjects which also includes many AP classes and dual credit college hours, while still delivering a curriculum rich in electives to provide students many opportunities to find their strengths and excel in various areas. Mrs. Angie Smith’s animation class is one that steers students like Cari to try something new in an effort to have students explore new career paths and tap into their strengths. “As a high school senior I can say that I achieved many things that many high school students would not get the opportunity to do,” Croninger said, “and I appreciate Callisburg ISD and the many opportunities it has provided me--I’m excited about my future.” Rock Hill Armorer, LLC James Whitt Gunsmith Sales & Repair Cell: 940-736-5049 • Shop: 940-735-9310 2548 CR 310 • Muenster, TX 76252 Email: [email protected] The Insurance Texans Trust.
