Remembering JFK

By ROB DURHAM editor@breckenridgeamerican.com Today’s world is full of ways to hear news when it happens.

With streaming media, social networking and online updating, a person can get up-to-the-second reports instantly.

But, let’s turn back the clock to that infamous day in United States history when the news of JFK shackled the world in shock and disbelief. News spread throughout the world via teletype,TV and radio, far from the breaking news we have today.

Breckenridge resident Juana Ash was in high school when she heard the news of the event.

“I was sitting in English class at BHS and Mr. (Jim) Wilkerson made the announcement over the loudspeaker,” “We then listened to the radio reports announcing his death. Everyone was in complete shock and disbelief at the news.”

Jump forward to January 1986 when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded while being viewed live on television by many.

Many schools across the United States watched the event with their classes because of crew member Christa McAuliffe, the first member of the Teacher in Space Project, who would have been the first teacher in space. McAuliffe and six more crew See JFK, Page 12 President John F. Kennedy introduces the Breckenridge Boys Choir and the Greater Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra.

Local citizens give their take on the loss of JFK

By BRANT THURMOND sports@breckenridgeamerican.com Ray Black was a 20-year-old sophomore at Amarillo Junior College when he heard the news of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.

“I went to a friend’s house and sat and watched everything unfold with my college friends,” said Black.

“I thought he was a good president and was sadden by the news.”

Black, who owns Ray Black’s II car dealership in Breckenridge, said that he was shocked that something of that magnitude could happen RAY BLACK in Dallas.

“My friends and I couldn’t imagine how something like this could happen

“The days and ensuing weeks following the assassination were pretty solemn and sad on the campus,” said Black.

“I remember watching the funeral on television and it was sad seeDORIS KIRKLAND ing those kids (Carolyn and John Kennedy) having to deal with that. This was a very bad deal and there is no telling how much President Kennedy changed the country in his short time as president.”

BHS Class of 1964 reflects on impact of JFK assassination

By JEAN HAYWORTH life@breckenridgeamerican.com (Life Editor’s note: Responses are from members of the Breckenridge High School Class of 1964, who were at the early part of their senior year in November, 1963, when John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas.)

On the BHS faculty were Ola and Otie Frasier, Bobby Rogers, Phil Dye, Carolyn Tolle and David Sullivan.

The principal was Jim Wilkerson and the superintendent was John Culwell.

Some members of the Breckenridge ISD school board included Dr. J.T. Lawrence, William C. Arnot, James Rominger and O.H. Reaugh.

• John (Tim) Ball: “It was a cold but sunny Friday when I got up to head to school that morning. Today was our last football game and we would be going to Burkburnett mid-afternoon. When it was time to go to the Field House and get our football gear ready for the bus, I Àrst went out to my car which was parked in the parking lot in front of the high school.

“And then the news person repeated the news Áash — President Kennedy had been shot in Dallas and was being taken to Parkland Hospital.

“I immediately turned off my car and ran back into the high school, up the stairs to the third Áoor and into Ms. Ola Frasier’s English class to tell her what I had just heard. I don’t know why I ran to her Àrst but I remember she was stunned at the news — as we all were.

“I then returned to the Field House and a decision had been made that we would still play our football game that night in Burkburnett. I don’t know who made the decision but most high school games scheduled for that evening had been cancelled.

“We rode the bus in near silence to Burkburnett with some small chatter about the President being shot in Dallas. That night it was very cold in Burkburnett but the Buckaroos won the game — the Ànal game of our Senior year. It was said that the See BHS, Page 3

House passes bill regarding regulation of oil and gas industry

By ALEX MILLS The U.S. House of Representatives passed Nov. 20 H.R. 2728, the Protecting States’ Rights to Promote American Energy Security Act, which would protect the rights of state regulatory agencies to regulate the oil and natural gas industry within their state and on federal lands.

The bill is authored by Rep. Bill Flores (R-TX) and co-authored by Henry Cuellar (D-Tx). Flores represents a district that stretches from Austin to Waco to College Station, and Cuellar’s district goes from the southern border of Texas to San Antonio.

The bipartisan bill – which passed 235 to 187 - prohibits the Interior Department from enforc-

ing federal hydraulic fracturing regulation in any state that already has regulations, and it recognizes states’ authority to regulate this type of activity.

The bill does not prevent the federal government from implementing baseline standards in states where none exist.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Houston) offered

an amendment that passed requiring Interior Secretary to review all state hydraulic fracturing activity and issue a report to Congress.

Another amendment that passed will require each state to submit to the BLM its regulations regarding hydraulic fracturing and the disclosure of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing.

Representatives Cuellar and Lee were the only Democrats from Texas to vote for the bill. Texas Democrats who voted against H.R. 2728 were Joaquin Castro of San Antonio, Lloyd Doggett of Austin, Pete Gallego of San Antonio, Al Green of Houston, Gene Green of Houston, Ruben Honojosa of Edinburg, Eddie Bernice Johnson of Dal-

las, Beto O’Rourke of El Paso, Mark Veasey of Dallas and Flemon Vela of Brownsville.

All Texas Republicans voted for the bill.

President Obama said he will veto the bill if it passes the Senate.

Beth Beggs Some words can trap a weak-willed person into a mess There are certain words that should run chills up and down your spine.

These words are common words, but used in business, politics and religion, these words have deeper hidden agendas which can take over your life, warp your sense of self-worth and generally cause one to weep.

One of these words is “QUICK.” Another is “NEW.” The worst is “REQUIRED.” I’ve been using a computer bookkeeping program for my personal and business accounts for years. I’ve found that this software is a great way to write checks, balance my bank accounts and sort my information so that I can do end-of-year reports. It was not expensive.

It was not difÀcult to use. It had many more bells and whistles than I needed, but those parts of the program did not “ding” or “toot” when I didn’t need them. I just wrote checks, entered the expenses and income details and generally rocked along using the simple stuff.

A few years ago, I was prompted to upgrade. I didn’t. I liked what I had and was completely satisÀed to work with the 2007 program. Then, this year, I found out that the 2007 program has become so outdated that my bank will no longer coordinate with it.

Although I do like keeping it simple, I had tried

one of the fancy parts of the program which would connect with the bank and zap my information into my computer.

One time, I zapped it on top of the information I had already entered by hand and had a really big mess … but I learned my lesson. It took me only four QUICK hours to check each entry for duplication.

For some reason, their “duplicates” weren’t quite like my “duplicates, but I Ànally got it straight.

Let’s put this into perspective. I’ve had a rough summer: … broken leg … hand surgery … relatives straightening out my closets. I was weak. My willpower was down. I got online the other night and agreed to move to the NEW … 2014 edition of my QUICK software.

It was REQUIRED if I was going to continue communicating with the bank.

I hadn’t communicated with the bank since the big duplication mess, but it sounded so good.

Somewhere down at the bottom of the screen, I saw that I could also use that NEW, QUICK, REQUIRED software on my “SMART” phone. Like I said I was weak. I pressed the DOWNLOAD button.

First it gave me $5,000 dollars in my savings account. That was great. I keep about a $100 in there for emergencies, so the extra money looked good … especially if someone was

snooping over my shoulder when I was using my phone at the grocery store.

I tried to correct it and ended up with a savings balance of zero.

Secondly, it downloaded my debit card transactions and sent a WARNING alert to my phone. It is embarrassing to be standing in the line for coffee and have the phone announce, “You are spending too much on dining-out this week.” The skinny woman in front of me suggested I use low-fat whipped topping.

I tried to go back to the online program and straighten it up. With the click of a button, I completely erased 13 years of bookkeeping. Luckily, I had saved the information somewhere else. In a QUICK … three hour session, I had reloaded the information, changed my password so many times that I wore out the “secret cheat-sheet” I keep under my keyboard and called the bank so many times that they rerouted me to the custodian’s ofÀce.

I don’t know why I want to automatically connect to the bank. It’s not necessary. I keep up with my spending and deposits. I don’t have many deposits, so the spending is fairly limited.

I just like to be up-todate on NEW things. I want to be considered QUICK-witted.

It isn’t REQUIRED … but I want it.

Breaking News: No End in Sight Biblical instruction is clear: We are NOT to grow weary in well-doing.

Across generations, it’s easier said than done.

On life’s landscape today, “bad-doing” holds the upper hand.

As to weariness, Americans are bone-tired of “breaking news” barrages.

Such openings are common to virtually all electronic newscasts….

“Rocket surgery”—a term coined by a befuddled news guy—isn’t necessary to predict that “breaking news” prepares us for an imposing list of “broken down” topics. Broken are dreams, spirits, hearts, contracts and promises, to name a few. Further, our national debt grimly reminds us that we are “broke” Ànancially.

Oh, I left out at least one important topic—broken pocketbooks. They are inevitable results of indebtedness so easily incurred these days at all levels. We’ve learned to say “charge it” far too casually.

I am reminded of the man in a bank, his right arm extended, with index and little Àngers stiffened upward. “I didn’t know you went to UT,” a friend said. “I didn’t—this is simply a good way to declare Chapter XI.”…

Lord Byron, a British poet, stoutly supported the importance of truth. He’s remembered for writing, “Without or with offense to friends or foes, I sketch your world exactly as it goes.”

Today, some news folks place highest priority on “getting it Àrst.” Most of us settle for news “approximately as it goes.”

Yearning, a frequent pastime in retirement, often centers on memories of yesteryear radio —when

The Idle American

By Don Newbury we listened on purpose. We dared not miss radio programs that would be topics of conversation the next morning on the school bus.

Sometimes the volume was purposely kept low, hopeful to avoid parental warnings about “running the battry down.” Yep, for the adults we knew, it was a two-syllabled word….

Before Neilsen Ratings, Arbitrons and other tools measuring media impact, two broadcast news personalities stood out.

They spanned some 75 years with daily commentaries that were balanced, accurate, hopeful and carefully prioritized.

One was Lowell Thomas—arguably the most versatile media personality in the history of communications. The other who I feel was greatly inÁuenced

by Thomas—was the inimitable Paul Harvey. Both were gentle giants, humble by all measures. They had hope in their hearts that spilled out in their words.

Rarely did they have “breaking news.” Instead, they began—and ended— newscasts with gentle encouragement. Thomas began newscasts with, “Good evening, everybody,” ending with, “So long, until tomorrow.” With Harvey, it was “Hello, Americans” and “Good day!”…

Their humility was obvious and their impact great as their followers quoted them across the US—Thomas largely from the 1930s through the 1970s, Harvey from the 1950s into the 2000s. Both were network regulars, and listeners felt cheated if they happened to miss a broadcast.

The humility thing-and their commitment to a healthy work ethic--began early for both men. Thomas washed dishes in a Col-

orado gold-mining town; Harvey swept the Áoors of a Tulsa radio station.

Both were multi-faceted, worthy of Googling. I revisit their web sites from time to time, if only to recapture details of Thomas’ on-the-air “bloopers.”

When he made ‘em, he led the laughter….

I heard Thomas in the mid-1970s at a dinner in Fort Worth. He was the featured speaker. Even at age 85, his personality sparkled, and he was humble beyond belief.

I managed to scrunch into his crowded elevator at evening’s end. Someone mentioned how gratiÀed he must have been to be the world’s foremost radio newsman for many years.

“I never placed too much stock in that,” Thomas responded. “My newscast came on immediately before “Amos N’ Andy,” and NOBODY was going to be late tuning in for them!”…

During part of his career, he was employed by Sunoco; the company purchased network airtime for his broadcast. Later, Thomas himself was a network owner.

Harvey was “joined at the hip” with sponsors, too, joking about being happy to “put their money where his mouth is.”

Thomas lived to be almost 90, dying in 1981; Harvey was 91 upon his death in 2009.

Would that someone pick up their batons and win Americans’ hearts the way they did. Archie Bunker said it well: “Those were the days!”....

(Continued from Page 1) the game ball would be sent to Mrs. Kennedy in honor of the President, since we had played that night, but never really knew if it was sent or not.

“Friday, Nov 22, 1963, was only about 18 months after I had sung with the Breckenridge Boys Choir on the White House lawn and we had been introduced to President Kennedy.”

• William Wimberley: “The football team was loading onto a Greyhound bus to travel to Burkburnett to play the last game of the season. This was shortly afternoon as I recall. Of course, we didn’t believe it was for real.

“The bus would stop at every town along the route to get an update and it was conÀrmed before we arrived at Burkburnett that the President had been assassinated.”

Judy Herring Wolfe was in shorthand class with Mrs. Mobley: Lyn Arnot Clark, Cherry Mitchell Panez, Trudy Thomas and Kathy Jones Valchar.

“Everything stopped when it was announced on the PA system. We kept trying to listen to the radio reports until we went home,” she said. “There was a certain amount of fear present and lots of tears that afternoon.”

Lyn Arnot Clark remembered that later, BHS had TVs brought into the old auditorium and put up on the stage so the students could watch the funeral of JFK, if they wished.

Ramona Choate Martinez and Merlene Montgomery Dials remember sitting on a school bus waiting to leave with the band to go to Burkburnett.

“Everyone was scared and feared what would happen without a President,” Dials said.

• Joe G. Wesley: “I was in Mr. Ed Rogers’

shop class. I doubt most of us fully understood the tragedy of that day.

It was a horriÀc day for America and the world.”

• Larry Ditto: “It was a Friday and the last game of the football season was scheduled...

Bucks at Burkburnett. It was decided to go on with the game and we left on the charter Greyhound bus that afternoon. It was the coldest game any of us could remember; we won on a wet, icy Àeld. As Joe Wesley said, most of us didn’t understand the impact that day would have on our nation.”

• Randy Howell: “As Larry Ditto said, we played a football game that night in Burkburnett. The whole day seemed surreal, like we were just going through the motions. After we won the game, Steve Wood suggested that we send the game ball to Mrs. Kennedy. Seemed like a small thing that we could do.”

(No one is sure that the ball was actually sent) • Jan Hart: “I was in Texas history class when the news director of KSTB Radio came on the PA system and announced that President Kennedy had been shot during the motorcade through downtown Dallas.

“We went to lunch, and then in Àfth period, Mr. Phil Dye’s class, we heard the announcement that the President had died.

Mr. Dye had tears in his eyes.

“It was just unbelievable that this had happened. What a tragedy!

Even after all this time, it’s still upsetting to watch the programs and the news coverage of those events.”

Carol Brooks Reagan was in Civics class. “I can still remember exactly how that room looked.

There was complete silence after the announcement,” she said. “Even after 50 years, it all seems

(Continued from Page 1) television to see all the details from start to Ànish,” said Kirkland. “It was just ordinary waiting to see all of the news b e c o m e available.” “ O u r family was one of the few families in our neighborhood that had television so several people came to our house and watched it,” said Kirkland.

JOHNNY “For a while, that was all that was on television after it happened.”

David Sullivan was a math teacher at Breckenridge High School the day President Kennedy was assassinated.

“I was in the middle of class and an announcement came over the PA system to tell the school the news,” said Sullivan.

“Everyone was so silent in the entire school system

that you could hear a pin drop. There wasn’t a lot of aftershock once it was over.”

Later, Sullivan traveled to Washington D.C with a friend that was in the U.S Secret Service at the time and saw the armored vehicles that were involved with the assassination.

Johnny Stoker was STOKER a nine-year old third grader at Gruver Elementary in Gruver the day President Kennedy was assassinated.

“When you’re nineyears old and in the third grade, you don’t really have a concept of the magnitude of the event,” said Stoker. “However, it is one the events of my youth that stands out.”

“I remember I was in a classroom and they an-

not so long ago.”

Susan Cooper Hare was in Mr.Phil Dye’s class and she also remembered him with tears in his eyes.

“Everyone was so sad and upset,” she said.

Bobby Rogers was a teacher at BHS. “Before Mr. Wilkerson made an announcement, a custodian came into my room and told me he heard about the assassination on his radio. I went to the chalkboard and wrote that the President had been assassinated in Dallas. I had never had such a quiet room.

We were all stunned. It was a sad day.”

• Bob Shapiro: “I was in Texas History or Civics class when I heard that the president had been shot.”

Wayne White contributes his unique experience when Kennedy was shot.

He said he was working the next day, Saturday, at his after school job Saturday at C.R. Anthony’s cleaning the windows when Roger Carter was stopped at the red light and beeped his horn at Wayne.

He wanted to know if Wayne wanted to go with him to Dallas. The boys drove directly to Dealy Plaza and the Book Depository.

They roamed around outside on the Plaza, with many others doing the same thing, looking for bullet holes and found a door open on the east side of the Book Depository.

They entered the building but didn’t get very far.

The guard who was supposed to be there had left his post temporarily but soon stopped them and gave them the ‘riot act’ about going into the building. He allowed them leave after a warning that they could have ended up in jail.

White also was in the Breckenridge Boys

Choir that had sung on the White House lawn with the Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra 18 months before.

He said he got to shake Jackie Kennedy’s hand and they were served lunch in the White House dining room.

Among those in the choir with Ball and Wayne were Ward Veale, Richard Wood and Steve Leonard.

Julie Fore was out of school by then but was working at the KSTB radio station.

“The DJ/news director on deck was Richard Fletcher, who always did the national, state and local news at noon.

Our manager Bob Sewell was gone to Lions Club, which always met at noon at the YMCA. Richard came into my ofÀce and said, ‘Julie, read this. This just came in over the AP wire! I don’t know if it is true or not or whether I should put it out!’

“Of course it said that shots had rung out in Dallas and that the President was hit,” Fore said.

“I said ‘Let me call Bob and see!’ I had to look up the number for the YMCA and get them to go upstairs to get him. He said he would be right there.

“He must have run those few blocks and right up the stairs. By then, Richard had received more on the wire and Bob said it must be true, put it out, so that is how most of Breckenridge got the news that day.”

As a foot note for Fore, the day after the assassination would be her Àrst wedding anniversary.

“Carter was out of town working (as usual) so we will never forget our Àrst anniversary nor the horriÀc time it was,” she said.

(Life Editor’s note: Special thanks to Judy Wolfe, who helped gather some of the BHS Class of 1964’s comments.)

So... What is church?

Some refer to a building as the church, but it’s not.

Someone may ask, “Where is your church?” Again, they are mistaken. The church is not a building... It’s not a place... It’s people. It’s Gods’ special people, called out from the world. A people chosen to declare His praise (1Peter 2:9).

According to the Bible, the church is the body of believers and Christ is its’ head (Ephesians 5:23). The church is the assembly of Christians, the congregation of saints that come together to praise God and encourage each other. (Acts 14:27 & 15:30, 1Corinthians 11:18 & 14:23) In 1Timothy 3:15, the apostle Paul speaks of the church as being the household of God. The church is a spiritual family, God being the Father and us as His children, are brothers and sisters. If you’re tired of trying to make it alone, come check out the family (church) that meets here at Elliott Street.

FOHB to host movie, ‘Planes’ for Sunday matinee – 2 p.m.

The Friends of Historic Breckenridge have sponsored and hosted the Second Saturday Movie as a program for families but when numbers fell to 10 in September, members of the FOHB Board had to come up with a new approach.

In October, the movie was shown on Sunday afternoon, as a matinee at 2 p.m. and close to 100 people attended, with many grandparents bringing their young charges.

It also is an improved

opportunity to get a better quality of children/family oriented movies.

With that in mind, the FOHB was able to get the movie for Nov. 24, “Planes” and will show it at 2 p.m., as a Sunday afternoon matinee.

The cost of admission for adults is $4 and children are $2, with a concession stand available for popcorn, candy and drinks.

Forum women hear program – The Open Door mission

By JEAN HAYWORTH life@breckenridgeamerican.com

The Breckenridge Woman’s Forum met this past week and had an informative presentation from The Open Door, with the Executive Director, Nikita McBride, who overseas the Cisco facility and the Breckenridge satellite facility, located at 1701 W. Walker.

Ray’s Grocery and Market provided the meal which was served by the hostess committee with hostess chair Mary GrifÀn and cochair Sabina Knight along with the committee that included Mary Berton, Diana Fambro, Billie O’Neal, Jacille Smith, Diane Latham and Mary Alvarez.

The door prize was provided by Jeannine Herrington and won by Jean Edwards. The high score for the two tables of Bridge players was won by Helen Kuhn and the low score for the seven tables of Liverpool Rummy was won by Teeny Pearce.

The Woman’s Forum Vice President, Mandy Toombs, introduced the featured speaker Nikita McBride. Rachelle Walters also was present and she is the Satellite Director at the Breckenridge facility of The Open Door.

McBride gave Forum members an overview of the Open Door Mission, which is a faith-based, life afÀrming pregnancy and family center that provides resources, mentoring and education for life skills at their respective facilities.

“We try to educate families on how to be great parents, and in doing so, hope to stop the chain of poverty, neglect and abuse that is so prevalent in our society today,” said McBride.

The idea for The Open Door materialized from a local prayer group and centered on the founding purpose of being able to reach out to help young mothers and their unborn child.

The initial facility opened in Cisco in August of 2008 and continued to expand there through 2010.

Meanwhile, some women from Breckenridge were volunteering at the facility in Cisco and were prayerfully directing their energies toward opening a satellite facility in Breckenridge, which was opened Jan. 22, of 2013.

At the Breckenridge facility, there have been 36 pregnancy tests administered between January through September. During that same time, there have been 836 residents visit the facility and of those, 230 persons have been helped directly and/or directed to other agencies for assistance.

Participants have included 42.4 percent who were married and 20 percent of all participants have been males who were mostly enrolled in the parenting classes.

Volunteers are an important ingredient at the facility and 925 hours were logged by residents in the Breckenridge community, who were available to help the mostly younger clients.

All volunteers are trained to treat visitors with compassion and respect, in a non-judgemental environment, with loving care.

able aspects of The Open Door program is the ‘Earn While You Learn Program.’

When participants attend any type of class, such as a parenting classes or Dave Ramsey’s Financial Planning Course or some other class, the participants earn points.

Participants also can earn points for completing homework assignments associated with a class.

Participants can use their earned points at the Baby Boutique to purchase diapers, baby clothes or other needed items for their child.

This reinforces the “Hand Up not Hand Out” aspect of The Open Door program.

Self-worth is a very important factor that is part of the training for all volunteers. All residents who visit the facility for some type of assistance are treated with dignity, respect and as a worthy individual.

McBride explained that funding is provided by private donations, In-Kind Gifts or material donations.

Churches, businesses or individuals all can donate to The Open Door facility on a regular monthly, quarterly or annual basis or make speciÀc donations periodically to the facility or for a speciÀc program. 15 percent of the operation budget is provided by Texas Pregnancy Care Network.

Also, there are fundraising projects such as the annual Baby Bottle Boomerang that took place in January of this year for the Breckenridge facility, right after it opened. More than $8,000 was netted from that initial fundraiser event.

Another event was the annual Life Banquet that was held recently. Everyone who attended that event made a monetary donation to the facility through their ticket purchase.

For additional information or to volunteer or to donate to the facility, call 254-559-4045 or go by The Open Door facility, located at 1701 W. Walker.

In November 1929, the Thompson Bros. (Eugene and Claude), purchased two, two-story buildings from Fred W. Frost for the price of $35,000. One of the buildings was the Thompson Hardware Store, located at 124 W. Walker, that they had occupied since the Oil Boom years and the other building was the building to the east of them, which they planned to remodel and then lease the Àrst Áoor out to Juanita Morris Style Shop, due to open Jan. 1, 1930. The upper Áoor would be turned into ofÀce spaces. The Thompson Bros. said that they believed in the prosperity and growth of Breckenridge and it was time to make an investment in the town.

OfÀcials at the airport conÀrmed that Earl Akin may have set a world record when he and his glider were towed 30 miles over to Ranger by airplane for the Ranger Airport celebration a few weeks previously. After arriving at the Ranger Airport, Akin was cut loose from the tow-line and entertained the crowd with aerial acrobatics from more than 2,000 feet and then glided to a smooth landing. More checking was necessary to qualify his record.

In 1929, the new hats were made to be worn off the forehead – not pulled down over the brow, like the Áapper fashions of the 1920s. Fashion guidelines dictated that this should be avoided by the more conservative women.

All the milliners, both in the United States and abroad, were making hats of the bonnet style that showed the forehead and all the new hats were made to be worn slightly off the forehead. Instructions for the new headware warned not to wear the new hats down on the eyebrows, it would throw the whole line of the hat out of adjustment. The new hats could be adjusted to show-off the oval and round lines of the face.

The new sports attire consisted of a jacket and skirt of brown jersey, which was worn to the knees, with a tuckin blouse of jersey with a simple hat of soft, brown felt or a brown jersey beret.

Tickets sales for the ‘Buckaroo Special,” round-trip to San Angelo were progressing but not as briskly as expected. A meeting was held at the Chamber of Commerce to determine how they could boost sales. The C.& N.E. Railroad said they required a minimum of 200 tickets to be sold to guarantee the low price of the tickets. The railroad had hoped for 400 to sign up for the trip. With 160 tickets already sold, they only had to sell another 40 tickets Thursday afternoon, Nov. 14, to cover the railroads’ minimum requirement of 200 tickets. Residents were encouraged to purchase their tickets by 4 p.m. Friday, if possible, so that the railroad could have enough coaches on hand to handle everyone comfortably for the trip Saturday morning at 6:30 a.m.

By mid-afternoon Friday, 325 tickets were sold and more would be sold the next morning. It was announced that tickets would be available for sale onboard the ‘Buckaroo Special’ train, which would further boost sales for those who decided at the last minute to travel by train. Another contingent of cars traveled to the game as well. Accounts indicate that there were about 2,000 fans who cheered on the Bucks that afternoon at San Angelo.

Other details were released about the Saturday trip on the train. Breckenridge head bands would be distributed to all passengers once the train left the station. The train would travel by way of Cisco and pick up more fans there and then on to Abilene and Ballinger and was slated to arrive by noon at San Angelo. There was a huge banner draped along the outside of the ‘Buckaroo Special’ that could be seen by people along the route.

Upon arrival, there would be a huge Breckenridge parade with the BHS Band and Pep Squad leading the way.

The parade was directed through the business district and then disbanded in time to eat and get to the stadium for the 2:30 p.m. game. This was the Àrst football special operated out of Breckenridge in several years with more anticipated as the Buckaroos moved on further in the playoffs.

Even though Breckenridge still had to play the San Angelo Bobcats and the Ranger Bulldogs to complete the Oil District schedule, Breckenridge had won the district.

The Eagles were in second place but the Buckaroos had beaten them. As a result, the Bi-District game was projected to be with Amarillo on Dec. 7. If the Bucks got past that obstacle, the Buckaroos would most likely play against Waco on Dec. 14, in a semi-Ànals match-up and then the speculation went on to encompass the state Ànals that was set for Waco on Dec. 21, with an undetermined opponent, which turned out to be Port Arthur.

On the National scene, two more deaths were attributed to the Stock Market crash in late October, Black Friday. In Chicago, Herman T. Flegenhauer, age 54, was a commodity broker in Áour and his losses in the stock market were in grain market speculation. He turned the gas on in his home, which led to an explosion that blew out part of a wall and set Àre to his house. Arthur Niles shot himself after he lost his life savings in the Stock Market crash, according to his son-in-law.

Referee Ziggy Sears indicated that he hoped to referee more Buckaroo games. “Never in my experience in college or high school, have I seen a more perfect interference machine work than the one put out by Coach P.E. Shotwell this year,” said Sears. He had worked several Oil Belt games, including the Cisco/Buckaroo game.

E N T E R TA I N M E N T Salome’s Stars ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Decisions involving your finances might seem to be foolproof. But they could have underlying risks you should know about. Don’t act on anything until all the facts are in.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’re attracted to a situation that appeals to your Bovine intellect. And that’s good. But don’t neglect your passionate side when romance comes calling later in the week.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A recent development enhances that special relationship.

Spending more time together also helps make the bonding process stronger. Expect news about a possible career change.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A suspicious situation should be dealt with before it leads to serious problems. Get all the facts needed to resolve it. Then refocus your energies on those tasks that need your attention.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Try to be more open-minded in working toward a resolution of that standoff between yourself and a colleague or family member. A little flexibility now could work to your advantage later.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might feel a bit threatened by a proposed workplace change. The best way to deal with it is to ask questions. You’ll find that those involved will be happy to provide you with the facts.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Feeling alone in a crowd during the early part of the week is an unsettling emotion. But your spirits soon perk up, putting you into the right mood to start making holiday plans.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A pesky problem should be dealt with immediately so you can put your time and effort into something more important. Someone from your past could have significant news for you.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) High-energy aspects dominate, both on the job and at home. Use this time to put some long-range plans into operation. Things level off later in the week.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Even the usually gregarious Goat might feel overwhelmed by a flurry of activities. Be patient. Things soon return to your normal social routine.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Career choices that seem too confusing to deal with at this point probably are. More information would help uncomplicate them. On the personal side, a friend might need your advice.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your Piscean imagination is stimulated by possibilities you see in a new opportunity. But keep those ideas to yourself until you feel ready to translate them into a workable format.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have an ingratiating way of helping people deal with their fears.

Have you considered a career in social work or with the clergy?

Legends, Icons & Rebels Robbie Robertson salutes musical movers & shakers. By Robbie Robertson, Jim Guerinot, Jared Levine & Sebastian Robertson. Hardcover, 128 pages ($35, Tundra Books)

Robertson, one of the founders of the seminal music group The Band, collaborated with his adult son, Sebastian, and fellow music-biz veterans (and fathers) Guerinot and Levine, on this collection of tributes honoring 27 singers, songwriters and other performers across the spectrum of popular music “who changed with world” with their talent---and their tenacity. Featuring designs from numerous illustrators and including a CD with handpicked songs from each of the artists (including Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Patsy Cline, Ella Fitzgerald, Bob Marley and Carole King), it’s clearly geared for younger readers. But it’s a true multimedia treat for eyes and ears of any age.

WWII Three-Film Collection Watching World War II unfold from every angle. Blu-ray $29.99, DVD $24.98 (Lionsgate/A&E Consumer Products)

Here’s one DVD set that will keep armchair history buffs glued to their seats for hours---11 of them, to be exact!

This five-disc collection of three History channel specials (“WWII in HD,” “WWII in HD: The Air War” and “WWII from Space”) offers expert examinations of the world’s most destructive conflict from three different perspectives, using combinations of first-person accounts, gripping narration, rare restored color film footage and stunning computer-graphic simulations that show what battles, troop movements and other key events would have looked like if they could have been tracked with modern-day satellite technology.

Thor: The Dark World Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman & Tim Hiddleston.

Directed by Alan Taylor, PG-13, 112 min.

Chris Hemsworth returns to the starring role and strides confidently into the story, which builds on elements from the first “Thor” (2011) as well as the “The Avengers” (2012), in which Thor joined with his fellow Marvel do-gooders Iron Man, Captain America and The Hulk.

The characters are the same as before. There’s the blonde-haired astro-Nordic beefcake himself; Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), the beautiful, brainy Earth scientist who loves him; his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins), the king of the cosmic kingdom of Asgard; Thor’s resentful step-brother, the treacherous trickster Loki (Tim Hiddleston); and an assortment of returning supporting players, including Idris Elba, Stellan Skarsgård, Rene Russo, and Kat Dennings from TV’s “2 Broke Girls.”

The story’s…well, if not the same, more of the same: Something catastrophic will happen if Thor doesn’t stop it. In this case, it’s an evil force called the Aether in the hands of Dark Elves who want to use it to seriously gunk up the universe.

As the ensuing battle rages across the vastness of space, and the story ping-pongs between Asgard and England; Middle Earth-ern bows, arrows, swords and shields mix with Star Wars-ish laser blasters, teleportation devices and anti-gravity beams. But Hemsworth owns his role, and so does Hiddleston as the villainous Loki, who has certainly become one of the franchise’s strongest second-tier characters. But it’s Stellan Skarsgård’s nutty professor Selvig, however, that really intrigues me. He prances naked around Stonehenge, uses a pair of shoes to explain a complicated theory of planetary alignment, knows how to take the oomph out of Armageddon, and works without pants because he says his brain functions better that way. Now, when is that guy getting HIS own spin-off?

Buckaroo Basketball Preview: Veteran team to lead Bucks in 2013-2014

By BRANT THURMOND sports@breckenridgeamerican.com

follow @bamericansports on Twitter

If recent history and success is any indication of what is expected in the 2013-2014 Buckaroo basketball season, then this season should be a fun one to watch and follow.

Head coach Rob Ogle is in his fourth year at the helm of the Buckaroos and 21st year overall in his coaching career.

Ogle coached the Buckaroos to a 26-5 overall record including 13-1 in district and a District 7-2A Championship last year, before falling to Jim Ned in the Area round of the Class 2A playoffs.

The Bucks return six players from last sea-

son’s team.

Returnees include: Seniors Caleb Spoon, Clay Boaz and Rigo Gallegos, Juniors: Anthony Ramirez and Alain Franco and Sophomore Mateo Ramirez.

“Caleb brings great leadership to the team and is a dual threat to drive as well as shoot from the outside,” said Ogle. “Clay is a good outside shooter and an overall smart player.”

“Anthony is extremely quick, aggressive and a very good defensive player. He’s the quarterback of the team,” said Ogle.

“Rigo is an excellent outside shooter and has a strong physical inside presence.”

Ogle said the senior

leadership and team chemistry has been a strong point so far this season.

“The leadership has been very good,” said Ogle. “These guys have been playing ball together for the past five years, so they know each other well.”

The Bucks will look to their team strengths of quickness, experience and depth to help them win and help achieve one of their team goals- a district championship.

“We want to win a district championship, make a deep playoff run and win 20 or more games this year,” said Ogle. “I think we have a strong group of kids to help achieve our goals.”

Buckaroo Head Basketball Coach Rob Ogle is starting his fourth year as head coach and 21st overall.

“We struggled early, but Ànally got into our game as we got closer to halftime,”said coach Jeana Yarbrough. “For most of the second half, we led by two or three points and then they would tie us up and then we go up. With about 32 seconds left in the game, they hit a three-pointer and went up by one point.”

“I was really proud of how the girls kept their heads, did not panic and came down and scored to get the lead back,” said Yarbrough. “The girls played tough defense to keep the lead and win.”

They trailed by a point at the end of the Àrst quarter at 17-16, but came back to score three points in the second quarter, while holding the Lady Tigers scoreless to lead 19-17 at halftime.

(Continued from Page 1) members all perished in the explosion. One study reported that 85 percent of Americans surveyed had heard the news within an hour of the accident.

Ash was a teacher at South Elementary when that news occurred.

“Personally, I did not see it because it was during my off period. But, I was going to my class and I just remember Jana Minyard running out into the hall and she was yelling ‘They’re gone! They’re gone!’”

Ash said. “We immediately got a TV and took it to the teacher’s lounge and watched the news. It was just the strangest feeling. My class was in P.E. at the time but our focus immediately was how this was going to impact the kids.”

Ash said the impact of JFK was something that gripped the whole country. “When it comes to the JFK Assassination, everyone knew where they were the day that happened,” she said. “It just shows the impact that had on our country.”
