3 injured in 3-vehicle wreck
By BRANDON EVANS
Three people were injured in
a three-vehicle wreck Monday
afternoon in Decatur.
The accident occurred at approximately 2:45 p.m. on Farm
Road 51, just north of South
Murvil Street, as school traffic
started to build.
A southbound van, driven by
Angel Carillo, 69, of Decatur,
was traveling too fast when
he came upon stopped traffic,
said Decatur Police Chief Rex
Hoskins.
He veered into the northbound
lane and struck a passenger car
driven by Ima Reaves, 72, of
Azle.
Reaves swerved all the way
onto the shoulder to try toavoid
the collision, Hoskins added,
but her car was still struck
hard on the driver’s side. Rescue workers had to employ the
“jaws of life” to free her from the
vehicle.
Reaves, her 82-year-old passenger Moreline Riley of Boyd,
and Carillo were all taken to
Wise Regional Health System
in Decatur for minor injuries.
A third car driven by Christine
Onofre, 23, of Decatur also was
involved, but she was uninjured.
Traffic was rerouted as the section of FM 51 was completely
closed for about an hour.

Woman accused of stealing
more than $100,000
By BRANDON EVANS
Wise County Sheriff ’s deputies arrested a Paradise woman last week for allegedly stealing more
than $100,000 from her former employer.
Angela M. Smith, 33, was arrested
last Thursday for credit card or debit
card abuse. The charge was subsequently elevated to theft between
$100,000 and $200,000, a second-degree felony.
According to an arrest affidavit,
Smith was the office manager for sevSMITH eral years at Cobb Rental and Equipment. The company, located just
south of Decatur on Farm Road 51, rents tractors
and other types of heavy duty equipment.
After Smith left the company in June, “an audit
of company bank accounts and charge accounts was
conducted, and it was determined that numerous
charges from the company bank account and charge
account were made (by Smith) without” the owners’

Rhome curbs commercial parking
By BRANDON EVANS
Rhome City Council unanimously
passed a pair of amended ordinances
last Thursday aimed at curbing the
parking of tractor-trailers and other
large vehicles in front of houses in
residential zones.
The new traffic amendment prevents the parking of a “commercial
vehicle, boat trailer, or recreational
vehicle, including travel trailers,
campers or motor homes,” on any
street or public right-of-way adjacent
to a home.
At a meeting held last month, several residents complained about the
proposed amendment.
“I moved here six years ago and
made this my house and home,”
said Zach Hunter, who lives on Stirling Road. “Now I’ve been told that
my tractor-trailer doesn’t look good
parked out there.”
“I also live on Stirling Road,” said
Brad Benson. “I have a boat, and I
keep it in the driveway. I don’t have
any other place to park it. I don’t
know what the problem is.
“I moved here five years ago. What
attracted me here is that there was
no homeowner’s association.
“Now this is threatening (Hunter’s)
way to make a living.”
However, the amended ordinance
does allow said vehicles to be parked
in front of a property for up to 96
hours at a time, for the purpose of
loading or unloading.
The new ordinance also prohibits
the parking of listed vehicles in front
or on the side of a property unless it is
on an “all-weather surface, including
gravel, asphalt or concrete surface or
on a paved parking space.”
The amended ordinance also affects
parking tractor-trailers and similar
vehicles in non-residential zones.
Such vehicles can be parked only on
“concrete, asphalt or other approved,
hard, all-weather surface.”
Any person found violating the ordinance can be charged with a misdemeanor and fined.
A second amendment prohibits
parking within the public right-ofway on the west side of Old Mill Road
between Russell and Logan streets,
from 320 Old Mill Road to 190 East
Russell Street.
Nor can vehicles be parked within
the public right-of-way of any U.S.
highway or state highway, including
frontage roads.
A third proposed ordinance amendment regarding the removal of junked
vehicles was put on hold by the council per city attorney Walt Leonard.
Leonard said he was waiting on
the results of a Supreme Court case
concerning a municipality’s ability to
remove someone else’s property.

LOAD LOST — A truck driver lost his load after his trailer snapped in Rhome Tuesday morning and spilled a massive segment of a wind turbine. The metal
cylinder weighed 131,000 pounds. It came to a rest in the ditch near the railroad tracks. The Business 287 exit headed north into Rhome was closed from
mid-morning until early evening as firefighters waited for a crane to come in and reload the equipment onto a new trailer. The driver, Hans Hitzeman, 52, of
Winnsboro, was uninjured but shaken up by the incident. The force of his trailer twisting behind him caused the windows to pop out of his cab and ripped
several tires off the trailer. “I gave it everything I had to keep it upright,” he said.

Animal shelter suffers break-in
By BRANDON EVANS
A trusty from the Wise County
Jail noticed something amiss at the
animal shelter Sunday morning.
Inmates help with the upkeep of
animals. They walk and feed the
dogs and clean the kennels. But as
soon as they arrived with the deputy late in the morning, one noticed a
window broken at the shelter.
“(The suspect) broke out a small
window and reached in and opened
the door,” said Ashleigh Portales,
crime scene investigator with the
Sheriff ’s Office. “They went inside
and took one little dog from its
cage.”

SHELTER BREAK — An unknown
suspect broke into the Wise County
Animal Shelter over the weekend. They
passed over every animal inside except
a small black and tan Chihuahua mix.
The dog nabbed was a black and
tan female Chihuahua mix. No other animals or items were taken.
A citizen had found the dog and
brought it to the shelter as a stray
on Nov. 8. The shelter charges a $20
impoundment fee for dogs and an
additional $6 per day.
But the shelter will work with
people who are trying to get their
dogs back, said animal shelter clerk
Linda Bryan.
“We want to reunite people with
their dogs,” she added.
As a result of the break-in, the
county plans to beef up its security.
Wise County Sheriff David Walker asked commissioners court Monday for permission to expand the
alarm system. The current alarm
system just covers the office area of
the shelter, not the animal housing
unit.
He said it shouldn’t cost the county any more to monitor, but it will
require the purchase of some equipment.
The shelter is located on Private
Road 4195, just off Farm Road 51
between the dump site and impound
yard, in Decatur. It’s open Tuesday
through Saturday. Pet adoption is
$25. The shelter has a Facebook page
that shows dogs currently available.
For more information contact the
shelter at (940) 627-7577.

tion. Counties with a population greater than 100,000 or
counties that neighbor these
metropolitan areas can be
members.
“The body is incredibly
politically powerful,” Burns
said. “When senators and
representatives come to the
meetings, they don’t say ‘this
is what we’re going to do.’
They ask, ‘what do you guys
think about this?’ And that’s
nice.”
He explained that the group
is like a sounding board for
legislators, and it determines
whether proposed legislation
will positively or adversely
affect counties, informing legislators accordingly.
Fellow commissioners approved Burns’ nomination at
their regular meeting Monday.
In other business, Sheriff
David Walker requested expanding the current alarm
system at the county animal
shelter.
A
weekend
break-in
prompted the request. One
dog was stolen. (See story
above.)
“I never thought we’d need
an alarm on the dog pound,
but we do have things in the
shelter that don’t need to be
stolen,” he said.
Walker told commissioners
he didn’t think the expansion
would increase the monthly
monitoring cost, but some additional equipment will need
to be purchased.
Commissioners approved
his request.
The group also decided
to approve an order to tax
goods-in-transit that would
otherwise be exempt according to Senate Bill 1.
Commissioners also:
Q tabled a second time the
final plat of the Wells Addition in Precinct 2;
Q approved Burns adding a
chip spreader, Case backhoe,
Case backhoe parts, a flat
bed and two backhoe buckets
to the auction list for Ritchey

Q decided to vote on the
Wise County Appraisal District board of directors at

Teachers put a twist on annual event
By DAVE ROGERS
They put a new spin
on “Meet Your Teacher”
night at Bridgeport Middle
School, and school district
trustees were impressed.
A presentation on the
two-hour Parent-Student
Scavenger Hunt for sixth
graders was the highlight
of Monday night’s monthly
school board meeting.
“It was something our
sixth-grade team (of teachers) created theirselves. I’d
never seen it done anywhere
else,” Travis Whisenant,
Bridgeport Middle School
principal, said of the Oct.
20 event.
“Part of our campus program this year is to be very
proactive in getting parents
to campus, and this worked
great.”
Nearly 50 percent of the
students’ parents attended.
“We had an exceptional
turnout. More than 75 fami-

lies were there,” Whisenant
said, “which was good. That
was the first time we’ve
done it, and we got great
feedback from parents.”
BMS employees have
been charged this year with
turning around a downward
trend in student achievement on state assessment
tests that resulted in the
school being rated “academically unacceptable” by the
Texas Education Agency
last summer.
So they jettisoned the
standard approach to parent-teacher night in which
parents visit their children’s
classrooms and listen to a
presentation from each of
their children’s teachers.
“We wanted something
that would be engaging for
our parents,” the school’s
new principal said. “They
went through what was
kind of a representation of
what a normal school day
is.

more manageable when you
don’t have a packed group.
We tried to keep the group
smaller, so we could have
more interaction.
“Ultimately, we want our
parents to be partners with
us in their kids’ learning.
Having something like this
gives a much better idea
what their child’s day looks
like. When you have that
understanding, it makes it
a lot easier to be working on
the same page with the parent,” Whisenant said.
Not only were the BMS
staffers and those who attended sold on the program,
but so were the board members who listened to Monday night’s report.
“The board members
loved it,” said Superintendent Eddie Bland.
“The turnout was great,
nearly 50 percent. I wish
we could get turnout like
that for elections.”
Whisenant said BMS in-
tends to use the Scavenger
Hunt as a springboard to
more creative activities.
“This was something we
tried, and it went really
well,” he said. “We were
very happy with it, not just
the turnout, but the level of
involvement we had with
the families. It’s definitely
going to change our involvement with parents, and it’s
kind of changed the way
we’re planning to do our
parent involvement activities.”
Already, the BMS administrators are seeing positive
changes in their results
with students, too.
“We’ve had two curriculum-based assessments of
the students, and they’re
getting better each time,”
Whisenant said. “In terms
of their overall level of understanding of what is a
much more rigorous assessment we’re trying to align
with STAAR (the new state-
mandated
assessments),
our kids are understanding
and progressing. We’re very
happy with that.”
Also Monday, board members:
■ received the district’s
annual audit report, one
Bland termed “real good”
in appraising the district’s
handling of public monies.
■ OK’d an amended contract with Enviromatics
that will add $46,000 to the
cost for new heating and
air-conditioning equipment
at the middle and intermediate school campuses.
■ cast all of its 582 votes
for the re-election of Ray
Cook Jr. to the Wise County
Appraisal District.
■ set its next meeting
for Dec. 12, moving it up to
avoid the district’s holiday

Romney is not a true
Conservative
Mitt Romney is a fraud, a Democrat in

The media loves him because he is the
closest thing to a liberal on the right-hand

Minimum wage responsibility in tipping situations
By WILLIS WEBB
Having never worked in a job
that relied on tipping to make
decent pay or to reach the minimum wage requirement, it’s
hard to identify with someone
complaining about a shortfall in
that situation.
A recent story outlined some
problems for airport workers
responsible for assisting disabled
travelers. Apparently, Houston’s
Bush Intercontinental Airport
hires people to perform that
service for an hourly wage that
necessitates tips in order for the
worker to reach minimum wage.
Actually, the whole scenario of
employers being able to dodge
that responsibility of paying
minimum wage by requiring employees to seek tips to make up

toasters to prepare bread for the
infrequent BLTs or club sandwiches.
The cafe was near the college’s
departments of music, agriculture, women’s physical education
and journalism, a real eclectic
mix. The juke box had an even
distribution of cool jazz, country
(which in those days was more
screeching hillbilly) and rock and
roll.
But, just about everyone who
came to the cafe ate hamburgers.
Almost.
One evening, I had two dozen
burgers on the grill, two Mexican dinners in the oven and the
deep fry had four baskets of fries
going. All of these orders were
placed individually and verbally
by the waitresses.
One waitress came meekly
into the kitchen and said softly,
“I need a cheese omelet with bell
peppers.”
Well, that would take up a
large portion of the grill.
My reaction was to walk
through the door that separated
the kitchen and the dining area,
my usual right arm extension
in place, and ask loudly, “Who
ordered the cheese omelet with
bell peppers?!”
One of the music majors, dark
glasses in place after sundown,
meekly raised his hand and said,
“I did, but take your time.”
The cafe owner followed me
back into the kitchen and calmly
said, “You think maybe you overreacted?”
“Yessir. Sorry.”
And, I learned about keeping
your cool. But, the music guys
ordered burgers after that day.

Council casts votes for WCAD board
By PHIL MAJOR
The Decatur City Council
gave the city’s 140 votes in
the Wise County Appraisal
District board election to
Jimmy Kirk on Monday. The
county’s taxing entities will
be casting 5,000 votes to
seat five board members.
Candidates for the five
positions include Greg Ar-
rington, Ray Cook Jr., Mike
Hurd, Joey Luttrull, Chana
Massey, Randy Moss, Jimmy Parker, Mark Starnes
and Kirk.
Votes are based on the
entities’ property tax levies. Deadline to cast votes
is Thursday, Dec. 15. Chief
Appraiser Mickey Hand will
count the votes and submit
the results before Dec. 31.
The five nominees with the
most votes will serve a twoyear term beginning Jan. 1,
2012.
The council also approved
the updated flood plain maps
from the Federal Emergency
Management Agency. The
maps determine properties
needing flood insurance.
Permit rates for mechanical, electrical and plumbing
projects were considered for
revision. Under a simplified
plan, permit fees would be
based on one percent of the
project cost, with a $75 minimum.
The rates will be up for final adoption at the Nov. 28
meeting.

The alleged thefts began
in 2008, said Ashleigh Portales, crime scene investigator and public information
officer with the Sheriff ’s
Office. Smith allegedly used
company credit cards and
bank accounts to pay her
own bills, including personal credit cards.
As office manager, Smith
was in charge of issuing
fuel cards and debit/credit
cards to employees, as well
as managing company accounts.
This is the second case of
an office manager in Decatur allegedly stealing more
than $100,000 from an employer in the same manner
this year.
In August, Maria VarelaMartinez, a former office
manager for a doctor’s office, was arrested for the
same charges.
“You’d like to be able to
trust the people you put in
charge of your accounts,”
Portales said. “It’s what you
expect. But employers still
need to keep a close eye on
it.”
Smith was given a $10,000
bond. She posted bail and
was released the same day
she was arrested.

FOOTBALL
Living by Scout’s code...
said Boyd coach J.G. Cartwright. “He initially was
a linebacker, and we moved him to a defensive end.
Then we needed someone inside, so we moved him
to defensive tackle.
“(On offense) he came up through the program as
a “Y” receiver. But this year, he agreed to move to
the line. He’s unselfish, and he’s been willing to do
whatever to help the team. He’s a good leader.”
Some of those leadership qualities he credits to
scouting, which he started in elementary school.
“The Scouts are a big program in the Mormon
Church,” Gillespie said. “Once I started, my mom
pressed me to keep going.
“It’s taught me perseverance, which is big in football when you run 200 plays and have to keep hitting the guy in front of you and not quit.”
The recently turned 18-year-old earned the 21
merit badges to gain the prestigious Eagle Scout
Award. He said the toughest badge to earn was the
environmental science one.
“My mom taught that one,” he said. “It’s not easy
having your mom grade you.”
His local review for the top badge was recently
approved and forwarded to the national review
board.
For his Eagle Scout project in May, Gillespie designed a landscaping feature on the old Boyd High
School campus near the cafeteria. He displayed his
leadership, organizing 30 volunteers to knock out
the large project in three hours.
Along with learning new positions on the field,
Gillespie has had to battle through an elbow injury
he suffered against Callisburg. He wears a thick
brace on the elbow, but it will need to be surgically
repaired after the season if he plans to continue
his playing career after high school.
“For now, I just have to play through it,” he said.
“It’s playoffs now. It’s do or die.”
The Scout is willing to do whatever to make sure
his team’s playoff dreams live on.
WILLING AND ABLE — Throughout the season, Boyd senior Gabe Gillespie has been content to sacrifice body and personal aspirations to
help the Yellowjackets. He and the Yellowjackets will try to continue their march through the Class 2A playoffs Friday at Royse City.
’Jackets try to
slow Redwater
Boyd returns to area round
By RICHARD GREENE
The Boyd Yellowjackets
will be where they’ve not
been in four seasons Friday — the area round of the
playoffs.
The Yellowjackets got over
the bi-district barrier for the
first time since 2007 last Friday, holding off Dallas Life
Oak Cliff.
“It was big for us to get
past the first round of the
playoffs and get over that
curse,” said Boyd quarterback Jared Cate.
The Yellowjackets (9-2)
now will play Redwater (73) in the area round of the
Class 2A Division I Region II
playoffs Friday at 7:30 p.m.
at Royse City ISD Stadium.
Boyd coach J.G. Cartwright is grateful to see his
program reach this level
after a pair of losses in the
first round to Pilot Point in
2008 and ’09, and last year
to Maypearl.
“We couldn’t get past Pilot
Point for two years, when
we had a good team,” Cartwright said. “We just happened to catch them one
year they won a state championship and went pretty far
the other. Last year against
Maypearl, we just made too
many mistakes. Prior to that
we went four rounds deep.”
To make another deep run,
the Yellowjackets will have
to get past Redwater, which
earned the top seed out of
District 8-2A, a league that
featured the preseason No.
1 team, New Boston, and
back-to-back state champion, Daingerfield.
“That says all you need
to know about those guys,”
Cartwright said. “These
guys can play. It’ll be a good
challenge for us.”
Redwater was part of a
three-way tie for first in
its district after beating
Daingerfield 43-26 and falling to New Boston 28-21.
Redwater will feature
a strong running attack
based out of an unbalanced
I formation, along with some
wishbone.
“We’ve not seen a team with
as much of an unbalanced
formation,” Cartwright said.
“They have a quarterback
that is a good operator and a
big fullback that is 230 and
can run well. They also have
a big front line.”
The Yellowjackets will
need a better defensive game
after allowing Life Oak Cliff
to put up 544 yards last
week, including 303 rushing
by Michael Williams.
“Life Oak Cliff had a lot
more speed than any team
we’ve played,” Cate said.
“Redwater runs the ball a
lot. Facing a running team
like Life should help us this
week.”
The Yellowjackets had one
of their better games running the ball last week. Fino
Cardona ran for 191 yards
on 24 carries. Cameron McIntire added 61.
“That was one of the better games for our offensive
line,” Cartwright said. “They
were in a lot of seven-man
fronts, and we were still able
to make a lot of yards. I don’t
want to take anything away
from the backs. Fino and
Cameron also ran the ball
well.”

Three Lady Bulldogs
sign letters of intent
By RICHARD GREENE
Three Alvord Lady Bulldogs affirmed their commitments Monday, signing with
schools.
Jordan Ward signed with
the University of Central
Oklahoma for basketball.
Chelsey Steele inked with
Wayland Baptist for track.
Harley Hooks made her official pledge to Midwestern
for softball.
Ward, a three-sport athlete, faced several difficult
decisions about her future.
The defending Class 2A 100
and 300 hurdles champion
picked playing basketball
over running track in college. She received multiple
offers in both sports.
“It’s a huge weight off my
shoulders,” said Ward about
the signing. “It was a very
hard decision. I picked basketball because I just loved
the game. There were people
and reasons that made track
enjoyable in high school that
I don’t think would be there
in college. Basketball, the
game is the same, and I love
being a part of a team.”
Ward, an all-state point
guard last year who averaged 17.4 points and 4.5
assists, picked UCO over
Tarleton and Lipscomb University in Nashville.
“I really liked the coach,
and distance from home I
liked better,” Ward said. “All
of it put together made it
the right place.
“Wherever, I’m going to
have to earn my spot, and
I’m willing to.”
Steele, who finished seventh in Class 2A in the 800
last spring and was also on
the sixth-place 4x400, picked
Wayland over Abilene Christian and UCO.
“After state, I had a lot of
people looking at me,” Steele
said. “I liked the college and
the coach [at Wayland].”
Steele is hoping to return
to state in the spring and
take a shot at a medal.
“I’m focused on getting on
the podium,” she said.
Hooks made her pledge
to Midwestern before last
softball season. She pitched
Alvord to the playoffs as a
freshman and sophomore.
She posted an 11-11 record,
striking out 136 batters and
walked 77. She hit .396 with
20 RBIs on 36 hits.
“I’ve been waiting for this
since I was little,” Hooks
said. “Midwestern felt like
home. I liked the coaching,
and it was very comforting
there.”
Hooks also considered
South Dakota State, Louisiana-Lafayette and UT-Tyler.

move up
ranks in 3A

OUT OF THE GATES — Slidell runners take off at the start of the Class A race Saturday in Round Rock. Dylan Carnes was
the Greyhounds’ top finisher in 72nd place.
Hounds finish 12th in Class A
By RICHARD GREENE
The Slidell Greyhounds
were unable to move up the
ranks in Class A Saturday in
a return trip to Round Rock.
The Greyhounds finished
12th in the Class A race at
the University Interscholastic League cross country
championships. Slidell was
10th in 2010.
Despite being unable to
record a better finish, Slidell
senior Dylan Carnes praised
his teammates and their efforts.
“I felt like we ran way better than last year,” Carnes
said. “The whole team did
good.”
Slidell finished with 301
points. Boys Ranch won the
state title with 72.
Dylan Carnes led the
Greyhounds, finishing 72nd
in 19:38 on the 5K course at
Old Settlers Park. Carnes
and his teammates settled in
toward the back half of the
pack early in the race.
“With it being the state
level, we were antsy, and we
tried to keep in our heads
to keep the pace slow at the
beginning,” Carnes said. “At
the mile, we tried to open it
up and see what we can do.”
Khristian Talamantes was
81st in 19:57. Cord Hankins
ran 20:08 for 85th. Jarrett
Tinsman took 90th in 20:41.
Jessie Bowen finished 93rd
as the fifth Greyhound in
20:48.
Luis Castillo was 97th in
20:55, and Daniel McCasland
101st in 21:19.
As a group of freshmen
and sophomores, the Decatur Eagles left Round
Rock with a ninth-place
finals in 2010.
A year older and experienced, the Eagles moved
up four spots, taking home
a fifth-place showing in
the Class 3A race at the
University Interscholastic League’s cross country championships at Old
Settlers Park.
“We went down four
spots, and that’s a great
improvement,” said Decatur sophomore Taylor
Clayton. “We were tight
and ran how we should
have within about 30 seconds of each other.”
Decatur finished with
151
points. Kaufman
won the state title with
61. Sanger took second
with 80, and Liberty Hill
nabbed third with 97 to
reach the podium.
Running just a little
before 2 p.m., the Eagles
battled wind gusts up to
30 mph, temperatures approaching 80 degrees and
blowing dust from a tornup course.
Venus’ Jeff Weisheit
won the individual 3A
title, running 15:54 on
the 5K course. He was the
lone runner to crack 16
minutes, winning by 16
seconds over Port Isabel’s
Armando Fierro.
Clayton turned in the
Eagles’ top time, running
a 17:25 to finish 42nd. The
time was off 12 seconds
from his time the previous year on the course.
“Coach [David Park]
didn’t want me to go out
too fast,” Clayton said. “I
had that playing with my
mind.
“I haven’t been running
normal or felt good since
the Reunion Run.”
Daniel Smyers passed
his brother Michael at the
finish line to take 49th in
17:34. Michael was 50th
in 17:35. Daniel started
making a move up after
coming off the levee with
800 meters left.
“I didn’t want to beat
him,” Daniel said about
his brother. “I was hoping
he was farther up there.”
Remington May took
62nd in 17:47. Travis Kyle
was the fifth Eagle, finishing 65th in 17:50.
Tyler Wilson was 80th
in 18:18, and Brandon Rivera 85th in 18:32.
All seven Decatur runners will return next
year.
Bronze finish...
dium. The three were also
part of two state championship teams and the squad
that finished second in
2010.
“Take a poll and try to
find someone else that’s
been on the podium all
four years,” said Decatur
coach David Park. “This is
a tremendous group. They
battled all the way.”
The Lady Eagles finished
third with 131 points. Lucas Lovejoy claimed a second straight state title with
38. La Vernia took second
with 67.
Liberty
Hill’s
Susan
Kemper won the Class 3A
race, running 11:42 on the
3,200-meter course. She finished 10 seconds in front of
defending state champion
Katie Ruhala of Lovejoy.
Decatur’s seven runners got a clean start, but
through the pushing and
shoving through the first
800 meters fell back to
the middle of the pack. Nicole Neighbors was 17th
through the first 800 meters, and her sister, Natalie, 24th.
“We got moved around a
bit and separated,” Park
said. “One minute we were

really tight, and then we
got beat up a bit. They
kept fighting and running.
I wouldn’t have expected
less.”
By
the
2,400-meters
mark, Decatur’s two freshmen, Nicole Neighbors and
Nancy Torres, were running stride for stride in the
top 30.
Neighbors fought her
way to a 27th-place finish
in 12:47. Torres took 30th
in 12:48.
“I wanted to be first for
Decatur,” Neighbors said.
“I’m happy we at least got
a medal. I wanted to get
something at state.”
In her final race, Morrison crossed the finish line
in 13:10 for 46th.
“I used to love (running
here),” Morrison said. “It
was a lot warmer than all
the other years, and the
dust made me go blind. I
felt slow.”
But Morrison made a
strong charge in the final
800 meters to move into
the top 50.
“I saw her on the levee
and knew she was about to
charge like she has in the
other years,” Park said.
Morgan Haney ran 13:14
for 53rd. Natalie Neighbors
was the fifth Lady Eagle,
running 13:18 for 60th.
Bobbi Clemmer took 81st
in 13:42, and Palomo 83rd

Alvord takes home fourth
By RICHARD GREENE
In their first trip to state
in two seasons, the Alvord
Lady Bulldogs picked up a
fourth-place finish in the
Class 2A race Saturday.
The Lady Bulldogs finished with 125 points
at the University Interscholastic League’s cross
country championships in
Round Rock.
Spearman claimed the
state title with 88. Melissa
took second with 97. East
Bernard was third with
111.
“It was a fun journey,”
said Alvord senior Jordan
Ward. “We didn’t win, but
it was worth it after six
years.
“We all had high expec-
tations. Everyone ran the
best they could. It’s hard
(not to win), but we all
tried.”
Alvord coach Curtis Enis
praised his team’s bid to
get back on the podium
that fell 14 points short.
“I can’t fault the effort,”
Enis said. “They came in
wanting to win, ran hungry and took their best
shot. They finished gassed
with nothing left in the
tank. We hoped to get on
the stage, but came up
short.
“Melissa, Spearman and
East Bernard ran extremely well. We didn’t run poorly. Sometimes you’ve got to
pay your dues. We’ve got
kids that will be hungry
next year.”
Luling’s Carley Glass
won the race, running
11:50 on the 3,200-meter course at Old Settlers
Park. Glass passed Melissa’s Rebecca Ulrich with
just more than 900 meters
left and held on to win by
five seconds.
Alvord freshman Lacey
Watkins posted a 16thplace
finish,
running
12:49. She stayed within a
spot or two of her finishing
slot the entire race.
“We penciled her in the
15 to 20 range, and that
would be a good spot to get
in,” Enis said. “She was in
that range.”
Watkins said it was a
good debut at state.
“I think I will get better
over the years,” Watkins
said.
Ward took 32nd in
13:05. Freshman Clara
Breashears ran 13:13 for
41st. The 4-10 freshman
said it was a battle in the
wind.
“It was extremely windy,”
Breashears said. “The hills
and the dirt in my eyes
made it tough.
“I feel I accomplished a
lot this year.”
Ariel Rogers was 49th
in 13:20. Chelsey Steele
crossed the finish line as
the fifth Lady Bulldog in
13:35 in 56th.
Rebecca Evans ran 13:50
for 70th, and Madi Lynch
15:51 for 109th.
“Becky really had a great
day,” Enis said. “I thought
she ran hard.”

Lady Texans
post top-20
finishes
BY RICHARD GREENE
For much of the season, Northwest’s Kellee
McCann and Katherine
Chavez stayed within a
few steps of each other on
the cross country course.
Little changed Saturday at the University
Interscholastic League
championship in Round
Rock. The Northwest
sophomore and freshman from Wise County
finished 16th and 17th in
the Class 5A race.
McCann nudged out
her younger teammate,
running 11:46.53 on
the 3,200-meter course.
Chavez crossed the finish line in 11:47.38.
“It’s a great thing to
have your teammate
right there with you,”
McCann said. “She helps
me, and I help her.”
It was McCann’s second
trip to the state meet.
She took 54th in 11:56 as
a freshman.
“I feel that I redeemed
myself from last year,”
she said. “I achieved my
goal of being in the top
20.
“I was down on myself
at the end of last year. I
feel this is a good starting point for track.”

Chavez admittedly was
a bit nervous to make her
state debut. She said she
just tried to stay with
McCann.
“It helped so much
having her here,” Chavez
said. “I couldn’t have
done so well without her.
“This doesn’t feel real.
It can only get better
from here.”
McCann and Chavez
were impressed with
their times on a difficult
day with 30 mph gusts,
kicking up dirt and dust
along the course.
“It was very difficult
weather,” McCann said.
“It was a slower second
mile. The wind was really bad on that part.”
Through the first 800
meters, the two Lady
Texans were in 20th and
22nd, 11 and 13 seconds
behind the leader. They
made it up to their finishing spots with 800
meter left, 31 seconds
behind the leader Karis
Jochen of A&M Consolidated. She won the race
in 11:12.44.
Northwest’s District 75A rival Southlake Carroll won the 5A team title
with 34 points. Humble
Kingwood was second
with 48.
Taylor takes 18th in
Class 5A event
By RICHARD GREENE
Northwest senior Troy Taylor
fought the fierce wind and competition Saturday in the Class 5A race
at the University Interscholastic
League cross country championships.
Taylor brought home an 18th-place
finish, running a 16:17 on the 5K
course at Round Rock’s Old Settlers
Park.
“It was a good time in the 30 mph
wind,” Taylor said. “The wind definitely played some mind games and
messed with me a lot.”
The Rhome resident’s time was 42
seconds off the 15:35 he turned on
the course the previous year to finish
ninth.
Through 800 meters, Taylor looked
to have a chance to get a medal in
eighth place, just seconds behind the
leaders. In the second mile, Taylor
fell back to 20th, 30 seconds back of
first place.
In the final 800 meters, Taylor
moved up two spots to finish 1:01
behind the winner, Craig Nowak of
Houston Cypress Woods.
The race wasn’t Taylor’s final high
school race. He will run Saturday in
the Nike South Regionals event at
The Woodlands.

Living by Scout’s code
Gillespie makes sacrifices to help Yellowjackets
By RICHARD GREENE
Serving others and personal sacrifice have been principles that Gabe Gillespie has
lived by since joining Boy
Scouts at an early age.
So when asked to move
from tight end to left tackle
this season, it was not a surprise that the Boyd senior
put aside his aspirations for
the benefit of the team.
“I was the biggest, fastest
and strongest guy we had, so
they moved me to left tackle,” Gillespie said. “I wasn’t
particularly happy about it,
but I understood the need.
It’s a big responsibility that
I have now, protecting the
quarterback. Jared [Cate] is
a good quarterback and can
throw, but he needs time to

The Decatur Lady Eagles’
bid for a third state title in
four years fluttered away
in the Central Texas wind
Saturday afternoon.
But the Lady Eagles still
found their way to the podium at the end of the day
at the University Interscholastic League’s cross
country championships, receiving the Class 3A thirdplace trophy in Round
Rock.
“In the big scheme of
things, it’s a big accomplishment,” said Decatur
senior Bianca Morrison. “I
know we did well, and I’m
proud of all of us.”
For Morrison and two of
the team’s other four seniors — Zuleima Palomo
and Natalie Neighbors — it

With Gillespie protecting his blind side, Cate has
thrown for 2,700 yards and
28 touchdowns and the Yellowjackets are in the second
round of the Class 2A playoffs for the first time since
2006. Boyd (9-2) will take
on Redwater (7-3) Friday at
7:30 p.m. at Royse City ISD
Stadium in a Class 2A Divi-
sion I Region II area clash.
Along with moving spots
on offense, Gillespie also
switched positions on defense moving from defensive end to defensive tackle,
where he’s made three sacks
and been in on 75 tackles.
“He’s athletic and we’ve
used him to shore up areas,”

For 30 years
The Swain Home
1002 S. Hatcher
Newly moved into their
early 20th century American foursquare home, Gary
and Karen Swain decided
on traditional decorations to
celebrate the holiday season.
Gary Swain’s grandmother,
Francis Brehm, handcrafted
the decorations that adorn
the egg tree in the dining
room, one of the highlights of
the decor.
Marguarette Roberts and
Vicki Richey of Decatur, along
with Dee Anne Williford of
Pandamonium Home Decor
in Grapevine, assisted the
family in decorating.
The home has been around
for a century and was purchased by the Hoyle family
in 1908 from the Sears and
Robuck catalog. It was completed around 1912 at the beginning of the arts and crafts
movement.
The Craftman architecture
showcases simpler lines compared to the Victorian era.
The 3,400-square foot home
includes three bedrooms, four
bathrooms and three living
areas spread across three
floors.
The Swain family purchased the home in June
2011, and moved in with their
daughter, Bianca Morrison, in
August 2011, after completing restoration projects.

THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has
announced that, beginning Aug. 1, 2012, U.S. women will be able to
have their birth control covered (free of co-pays). This shift to make
contraception free to women is part of an effort to provide women with
greater access to preventive services under the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act. The initiative also mandates free coverage for
well-woman visits; screening for gestational diabetes; testing for human
papillomavirus (HPV) as part of cervical cancer screening for women
age 30 and older; counseling about sexually transmitted infections;
counseling and screening for HIV; counseling on breast-feeding,
including breast-feeding equipment; and counseling on interpersonal
and domestic violence. Prevention should lead to improved well-being
for women.
WISE OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY P.A. is pleased to
bring you the latest information about taking care of your body. We
understand the unique needs of women at every stage of life and provide
personalized care for women of all ages. Should you have questions
about today’s column or would like to schedule an appointment, call
940-626-8008. The office is conveniently located at 1713 South FM 51,
Suite 201, Decatur. New patients are welcome.

Patience suggested for bermuda’s return
By NEIL SPERRY
Dear Neil: Our backyard’s
bermuda did not survive the
summer at all well. Some of
our neighbors are adding soil.
Is this the best plan, or should
I just wait until spring and
possibly reseed? Or, do you
think it will come back?
There is a very good chance
that you will have enough
bermuda that greens back up
again that you won’t have to
do any of this.
Many people have the mistaken idea that they can just
sow bermuda seed into old
lawns and expect it to grow
and flourish. The seeds are
far too tiny for that to work.
If you’re going to reseed,
you have to get rid of all the
old grass and weeds, then
rototill, then sow your seed
and nurture it along. That’s a
huge amount of work.
The worst case might be
that you have to dig sod from
areas that did survive and replant your own bermuda into
those areas that didn’t.
I’d have to know more about
why your neighbors are adding topsoil. That alone won’t
do much good, and it can really introduce some obnoxious weeds.
Dear Neil: I have two large
hanging baskets of bougainvilleas. They have bloomed
very well this year, and I’m
sure they’re quite rootbound.
Can I prune them way back
and bring them in for the
winter? When should I repot
them?
Prune them as much as you
must, but as little as you can
get by with. Hopefully you’ll
have a bright, sunny spot to
put them in.
Bougainvilleas survive the
winter best in a greenhouselike setting at 65 or 70 degrees. They survive winters
worst in dark, cold garages
and poorly lighted rooms in
our houses.
Get them back outside as
soon as weather permits in
the spring. That would be the
best time to repot them as
well.

OR HADN’T YOU HEARD?
When local governments want to increase tax revenues, they
are required to publish notices in the newspaper so that you will
know. But that right to know could disappear.
Local governmental entities across the state want to hide their
public notices on little seen, rarely visited government websites.
What you don’t know will affect you personally!

If not
it’s not
