Around
Town
by Grice King
Time to hit the polls again and
voice your support for a candidate that will represent you in
government. Early voting starts
this week and I for one have no
idea where I am placing my vote,
but there are some great local
candidates this year in four contested primary races. It was a
pleasure getting to talk to them
all through our candidate forums
that we published in the past few
weeks’ editions, and I think no
matter how it turns out I think
we will be in good hands. I would
personally like to thank all the
candidates for caring enough
about the county to campaign for
an elected position. And everyone, please remember to get out
and vote. Every vote makes a difference. Good luck candidates!
Here is some more of what’s
happening around town this
week:

utilizing a community’s historic
assets for economic benefit and
to increase quality of life. During 2015, more than $216 million was reinvested into Texas’
90 Main Street districts. Additionally, 327small businesses
and 1,710 jobs were created.
Main Street programs in Texas
are staffed, but rely on community volunteers to carry out the
program. In 2015, Main Street
volunteers reported more than
115,000 hours of work donated
in support of the program.
“For 35 years, the Texas Main
Street effort has provided substantial return on investment
to local communities across the
state,” said Mark Wolfe, THC
Executive Director. “Recognizing
these individual local programs
through an annual accreditation
process proves that Main Street’s
ambitious annual goals are being
achieved.”
The THC’s Texas Main Street
Program (TMSP) made the announcement February 10 at
the winter gathering of Texas
Main Street managers in New
Braunfels, which is celebrating its
25th anniversary as a Texas Main
Street city.
“The combination of effort by
Main Street volunteers, staff and
other local partners reaps great
dividends. The state recognition
and national accreditation recognizes these efforts,” said Debra
Drescher, TMSP state coordinator.
Accredited programs show
above average performance in
10 categories on an annual report. Selection criteria focus on
planning, partnerships, staffing,
volunteer effort, preservation
ethic, training, and program assessment through reporting. The
state office also works with programs throughout the year by
providing various services based
upon local needs.

Society Girl to Activist
By Shana Powell
Contributing Historian
The Weekly News
In 1869 William Hudson, a former Confederate
General turned cattleman
and landowner, and his
wife Mary were blessed
with the birth of a daughter they named Leonora.
Born into a life of gentility, in time, Leonora
Hudson came to enjoy
attending fancy dress parties with her sisters, May
and Olive; traveling in
first class train compartments across the country; and being courted by
eligible suitors. She was a
true society woman.
As she grew up, Leonora or Nora as she was
more commonly referred
to as, played the role of
society belle well but, as
the years passed, Nora
moved far beyond the
constraints of her teens
and early twenties to become much more than
the society debutante of
her youth.
From time to time,
Nora’s name appeared in
the newspaper providing a glimpse into her
activities. For example,
the Gainesville Daily Hesperian in August 1888 announced that “Miss Nora
Hudson left yesterday for
San Diego where she will
spend the summer with
her sister, Mrs. Hughes.”
Nora showed up in the
newspaper again a few
months later when it reported on November 17
“that the I.C.E. (Ice cream
eaters) club has been organized and five o’clock
teas and entertainments
will be inaugurated in a
short while.” One of the
members present that day
was Nora Hudson.
Interestingly, at a time
when many men were still
working for $1 or $2 dollars a day, that same news
account announced that
the club had agreed “that
in the future a fine of 25
cents should be imposed
on all absentees from
meetings.”
Though everything appeared well on the surface,
Nora did experience some
sadness and possibly even
controversy when her
parents divorced, a rarity
then. Even more rare, she
and her sisters remained
with their father and not
their mother who moved
away.
In 1891, Nora Hudson
a live-in servant to assist with the household
chores and the children.
During that era, Nora
joined the XLI Club, the
first women’s organization
in Gainesville. It started
as a study group, with the
members picking a topicart history, the works of
Shakespeare,
etc.-and
spending months studying it. Members would
take turns conducting
the meetings, they would
have to lead discussion
lished in Gainesville.
In the 1920s, Nora
joined the First Presbyterian Church and over
the next several years,
she spoke out and wrote
letters for improving the
educational opportunities for African American
children in Gainesville
as well as the living conditions of the African
American community in
town.
Nora Rose, society girl
and activist, died in 1952.

married Robert Rose who
built a two-story Queen
Anne home for her on
Dixon Street. The couple
remained in that home
throughout their married
life and the house still
stands today, a testament
to his love for her.
By 1910 Nora had given birth to seven children,
though only five were still
living.
Economically,
things were going well
for the family. Rose was
a successful cotton buyer
and in the early years of
their marriage Nora had
groups on the topic, and
write up papers as well.
Their interest in study
led them to promote the
idea of establishing a library in town which they
accomplished. The XLI
Club and Nora, along
with them, would become involved in many
other projects as well in
the community.

Leave the Scalia Chair Vacant
By Patrick J. Buchanan
It is a measure of the stature and the significance of
Justice Antonin Scalia that,
upon the news of his death
at a hunting lodge in Texas,
Washington was instantly
caught up in an unseemly
quarrel over who would succeed him.
But no one can replace
Justice Scalia.
He was a giant among
jurists. For a third of a century, he led the conservative
wing of the high court, creating a new school of judicial thought called “originalism.”
But originalism is not
conservatism, which, in the
judicial era that preceded
Scalia, often meant court
decisions that “conserved”
the radical social revolution
Earl Warren’s court had imposed upon us.
Scalia believed in going
back to the founding documents of the republic and
discerning from them the
original meaning and intent
of the framers.
He would look at the
purpose of the authors of
the Constitution, the Bill of
Rights and post-Civil War
amendments, and conclude
that it was an absurdity to
discover there, or read into
them, a constitutional right
to have an abortion or to
marry someone of the same
sex.
The words Scalia used to
ridicule such nonsense did
as much to discredit majority opinions as did his dissenting votes.
I remember being called
into the office of White
House Chief of Staff Don
Regan, 30 years ago, to be
informed that the judge
whom Ronald Reagan
would name to replace William Rehnquist, who had
been named Chief Justice,
would be U.S. Appellate
Court Judge Antonin Scalia.
Regan was grinning at
me as he made the announcement, and I let out
of a whoop of victory. Since
Nixon days, some of us had
argued for naming an Italian
Catholic to the high court.
Yet, all six of Nixon’s nominees, and the only nominee
of Gerald Ford, were WASPs.
Scalia’s death removes the
court’s most brilliant mind
and most colorful member.
Personable, witty, acerbic, a
fine writer, he used his opinions, mostly dissents, not
only to make his case but to
skewer the majority opinion.
And while Sen. Mitch
McConnell may be faulted
for not waiting a decent in-
terval after Scalia’s death to
declare that the Senate will
not confirm any Obama
nominee to succeed Scalia,
the majority leader’s position is exactly the right one
for the party.
Some of us in the Nixon
campaign of 1968 still recall
how Chief Justice Earl Warren, fearing his old antagonist Richard Nixon might
be elected, offered his resignation to LBJ in June of
1968, but contingent on
Senate confirmation of a
successor. The fix was in.
Johnson nominated Justice Abe Fortas, a crony, to
succeed Warren and Judge
Homer Thornberry of Texas, another crony, to fill the
Fortas seat. Nixon, urged
by his old friend William
Rogers, Ike’s attorney general, stayed out of the battle.
Some of us did not.
Senate Republicans, led
by Bob Griffin of Michigan
and including John Tower,
Howard Baker and Strom
Thurmond, held up the vote
on Fortas, until they had
enough support to sustain
a filibuster and run out the
clock. In October, Fortas
threw in the towel.
The following spring,
President Nixon named
U.S. Appellate Court Judge
Warren Burger to succeed
Earl Warren as chief justice.
The GOP Senate majority
should follow the example
of that gutsy Senate Republican minority of half a century ago. The window for
any Supreme Court nominees should be slammed
shut -- until 2017.
Republicans should tell
our “transformative” president that his days of transforming America are over,
that he will not be remaking
the court into a bastion of
the left after his departure,
and that, while he has the
right to nominate whom he
wishes, the U.S. Senate will
exercise its right to reject any
nominee he sends up. If the
court will then face many
4-4 decisions for the next
year, so be it.
Given the divisions on
the court and balance of
power, and the disposition
of liberal justices to impose
upon the nation an ideol-
ogy that would never be embraced democratically, the
Republican Party is almost
duty-bound to oppose any
Obama nominee.
What kind of Supreme
Court do the American
people wish to have? That is
a question to be decided in
2016 -- not by a lame-duck
president, but by the American electorate in November.
Does the nation want an
activist judiciary to remake
America into a more liberal
society, as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor would like to
see it remade?
Or do the American
people want a more consti-
tutional court that returns
power to the people and
their elected representatives?
Let’s have it out.
Republicans should tell
the American people that
when they vote in November they will be deciding not
only the next president, not
only which party shall control Congress, they will be
deciding what kind of Supreme Court their country
should have. Which is as it
should be.
If the GOP can’t win this
argument, they have lost the
country.

Make America Great Again - at Torture!
By Mark Shields
The undisputed front-runner
for the 2016 Republican
presidential nomination who,
like every other remaining
2016 contender, never volunteered to serve in the nation’s
military, has nevertheless repeatedly promised to make
America great again -- in the
use of torture.
In the last Republican debate before his smashing New
Hampshire primary victory,
on the subject of interrogating prisoners, Donald Trump,
with all the fury and bluster of the noncombatant he
chose to be, had this to say:
“I would bring back waterboarding and I would bring
back a hell of a lot worse.”
This was consistent. Trump
had previously argued that
whether they were effective or
not, waterboarding and torture should be used, because
“even if it doesn’t work, they
deserve it.”
In that debate, Texas Sen.
Ted Cruz was characteristically slippery on the torture
subject, denying that waterboarding is torture. Florida
Sen. Marco Rubio ducked the
question. To former Florida
Gov. Jeb Bush’s credit, of all
the Republican candidates on
the stage, he alone stated that
he would honor the existing
ban on waterboarding. (And
his own brother presided over
an administration conducting
some of the worst and most
damaging torture of prisoners
in Iraq, Guantanamo and Afghanistan.)
Let us now make clear that
the United States of America
has in fact officially prohibited cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment of prisoners. Where? In the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights
and the binding Convention
Against Torture, which was
ratified by the U.S. Senate at
the urging of a revered Republican president, to “demonstrate unequivocally our
desire to bring an end to the
abhorrent practice of torture.”
That president, whose
grand coalition Republicans
have been trying, and failing,
to reassemble ever since, was
Ronald Reagan.
The United States has been
long and strong in recognizing
the illegality of waterboarding
prisoners. After World War II,
in the Tokyo War Crimes Trials, several Japanese soldiers
were charged and convicted
as war criminals for waterboarding American prisoners
of war. In 1968, an American
soldier was court-martialed
for having been involved in
the waterboarding of a North
Vietnamese prisoner.

To the Editor,
I am writing to encourage
the citizens of Cooke County to vote for Keith “K.O.”
Orsburn for Cooke County
District Attorney. I have
known Keith since 1974
and have followed his career
and know that he possesses
the skills, knowledge, and
experience to serve as our
next district attorney. Specifically, he has experience as
a judge and is now serving as
a prosecutor. Furthermore,
his being Board Certified
in Criminal Law will be an
asset to his carrying out the
duties of the office.
Keith’s conservative values will guide his leadership
as he serves the citizens of
Cooke County. Join me and
my wife in voting for Keith
“K.O.” Orsburn for Cooke
County District Attorney.

his chicken-hawk friends fail
to understand is that torture
is not just illegal and morally
repugnant; it is also a terribly
ineffective way to force information. Simulated drowning
and mock executions are so
cruelly terrifying that those
subjected will do anything,
say anything that their tormentors want to hear, in order to stop the pain and terror.
It may, sadly, come as a surprise to some of these wouldbe presidents that America
does not stand for torturing
military prisoners. The strongest opponents to torture are
found among those Americans who have personally
known combat. Former Air
Force pilot and U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam Pete Peterson and former Navy pilots
Cmdr. Frederick Baldock and
Cmdr. Phillip Butler publicly
opposed the United States’
use of torture. Collectively,
these three patriots endured
and survived 21 years and 78
days as POWs in Vietnam.
Sen. John McCain, who
knows hourly the pain of
combat and of torture, has put
it well: “The enemy we fight
has no respect for human life
or human rights. They don’t
deserve our sympathy. But
this isn’t about who they are;
it’s about who we are. These
are the values that distinguish
us from our enemies, and we
can never, never allow our
enemies to take those values
away.” Thank you, John McCain.
