The morning of Feb. 1, 2003 had been off to a beautiful start. It was a clear, cool Saturday, and it was about 8 a.m. when then-reporter Emily Taravella felt her house shake. TV newscasts began reporting that Space Shuttle Columbia had disintegrated in the bright blue skies over East Texas, killing all seven astronauts on board. Her husband, Nacogdoches police officer Dan Taravella, turned on his police radio and the couple headed off to work: Emily to the newsroom at The Daily Sentinel; Dan and their daughter, Erin, to the police station.

Twenty years ago at the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida, Dr. Jonathan Clark was listening carefully for sonic booms — the first signs that the space shuttle carrying his wife was arriving. Laurel Clark was one of the seven members aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia that was due to touch down at Cape Canaveral on Feb. 1, 2003. As the shuttle re-entered the earth’s atmosphere, a wing damaged by a foam strike on take-off broke apart, causing the crew capsule to separate. The 12 children of Columbia crew members had been playing under the bleachers at the space center as families waited for the shuttle to land.

Regents for Stephen F. Austin State University voted to remove the “interim” status from Dr. Steven Westbrook’s title for the remainder of his time with the university. Westbrook, who is now the 10th president of SFA, said the title doesn’t change his intention to retire for the third time once his replacement takes over. Board chairwoman Karen Gantt said the decision was made to Westbrook honor Westbrook’s long service to SFA. “I don’t have to tell anybody how much I love the university,” Westbrook said. “This is a great honor and I really appreciate it. It was an unexpected honor. We were talking Thursday and she mentioned this was going to be considered. I was concerned there would be this confusion. But I’ve been very honored and humbled by this.” Westbrook has stepped in to fill vacancies in the president’s office that occurred at critical times for the university. He took on the role of acting president Oct. 30, 2018, due to the illness of then-president Dr. Baker Pattillo, and was appointed interim president after Pattillo’s death on Dec. 29, 2018. He held the position until Sept. 15, 2019.

ing, Sparks wrote. Matthews took the wallet, entered the vehicle and took the woman’s cellphone and a backpack containing property valued at $330, according to the affid vit. A witness told police she heard the robbery while visiting friends and recognized Matthews, according to police records. She approached and began bartering with him in an attempt to get the property returned. Matthews kept $20 but returned the wallet, police said. It was unclear if the witness was successful in getting Matthews to give

back the other property. The witness told investigators she had known Matthews for about two years and that he lives or hangs out at the housing complex. Matthews is listed as homeless in jail records. He is also charged with misdemeanor theft of property valued between $100 and $750. Conviction of a robbery, a first-d gree felony in Texas, carries a sentence of five to 99 years in prison as well as a fine o up to $10,000.

How their neighbors feel about it is anyone’s guess, but if she’s built like Jennifer Lopez or one of the Kardashians, they may be enjoying the view.

Owning companion animals helps with cognition Dear Doctors: I have shared my home with pets my whole life. I am now a 76-year-old widow, and my menagerie is down to two small dogs. I just saw on the news that pets keep you mentally sharp. Is that true? I’d like to be able to reassure my sons that my furry companions are a boon and not a burden. Dear Reader: We’re happy to report that a wealth of research continues to find th t living with a companion animal is associated with a wide range of benefit . These include enhancing the pet owner’s physical, emotional and mental health, and generally improving their quality of life. We suspect that the news report you saw was tied to a recent study that focused on pet ownership among older adults. The results, which were published last summer in the Journal of Aging and Health, suggest that growing older while living with a companion animal can play a role in preserving cognitive function. In their study, the researchers used data gathered by the Health and Retirement Study, an ongoing investigative project that involves about 20,000 adults in the United States, all of them

a companion animal was even more pronounced in people whose pets had been with them five or more years. Interestingly, this protective effect was 50 years of age or older. The researchers regularly seen only in study participants who were 65 years of conduct in-depth interage or older. That’s the age views with the particiat which it becomes more pants and use tests and likely for the symptoms other diagnostic tools to of either cognitive decline amass data about aging.

He was appointed to the post again after Dr. Scott Gordon left SFA on April 10. Between his stints as interim president, regents named Westbrook as vice president for Student Affairs Emeritus on April 20, 2021. A search for his successor by the University of Texas System continues. “This does not usurp that process,” Gantt said. “This is to honor a great man.” Gantt added that she spent a lot of time with Westbrook and wanted to recognize his service following Pattillo’s illness and death as well as the

system affili tion process. At the front of the Bible in the president’s offic , there are nine names listed. Although Westbrook has done the work of the president twice, he’s never signed the Bible. “We want your signature on the Bible and your picture on the wall,” Gantt said, directing her comments to Westbrook. Westbrook also praised his wife Dana for being his partner through both his stints as president. “In this last round when we were making a decision about whether or not to do this, she gave me the side-eye

DTJ Project Manager Keith Walzak opens a meeting to discuss housing needs with city council, staff and planning and zoning Wednesday at the C.L. Simon Recreation Center.

Hou sing » From 1A infrastructure topped a list of housing challenges cited during a December focus group. “That message continues to surface to the top,” Walzak said. The need for senior housing is continuing to grow in Nacogdoches, and that is true for every community the fi m has worked with, he said. Residents in attendance reminded the consultants that in Nacogdoches where commutes aren’t limited by rush-hour gridlock, housing choices aren’t limited to inside the city limits. “Any plan for housing really has to take into consideration the whole county and even neighboring counties,” Karen Allen said during public comment, “because if something’s not available or affordable in Nacogdoches, people make an option to move out which affects our taxes.”

Connectivity is another issue raised in both the feedback sessions and Wednesday’s meeting. “Walkability seems to be an issue we have across the city,” said Councilman Chad Huckaby, who asked consultants for recommendations. Consultants noted a lack of connectivity throughout the city. “There were a lot of disconnected sidewalks. In some places just crossing streets or walking from the neighborhood to commercial nodes was very challenging and unsafe,” said DTJ sub-consultant Jason Claunch. Continuing to pursue grants such as the state’s Safe Routes to School, conducting neighborhood level assessments with walking tours and looking at the city’s development codes are a good starting point, Walzak said. Another rec-

ommendation is requiring sidewalks for new developments. “It’s a heavy lift to rewrite a development code and we aren’t suggesting you do that,” he said. “You might think about a firs step which is a code audit to see what works, what’s not working and identify gaps.” Councilwoman Kathleen Belanger asked the fi m to include guidance regarding the number of formerly owner-occupied homes that have morphed into rentals for college students. “I know this happens in a lot of university towns,” she said. “All the neighborhoods have raised concerns about it.” More information on the planning process and online surveys are available online at NacTogether.com.

Your pErSoNAL pHYSIcIAN

God is One and His Essence is Love

here is but one God, and that God is self-sufficient and the creator of everything. All that lives and breathes owes its existence to God. We are infinitesimal specks in the infinite flow of time and space. What came before us is infinite and what comes after us is infinite as well. God does not sleep nor slumber and all is within the power of God. Therefore, things are surely unfolding as God directs, and thus we have no need to worry. When we worry, we demonstrate a lack of trust in God and we thereby show that we fail to recognize that everything depends on God, and ultimately, that everything belongs to God. When we give to others, we should think of this as simply being a deliverer of God’s gifts, and His love. God loves not as we love, but as an emerald is green, that is, God is essentially love. Another way to think of God’s love is that God cannot hate His creation, or any of its creatures, any more than a mother can hate the child in her womb, or the child that she has borne. – Christopher Simon

HIGHER EDUCATION

SFA launches centennial celebration FROM STAFF REPORTS

From being administered through a small shack on Washington Square to educating nearly 12,000 students a year on its 421-acre main campus, Stephen F. Austin State University has come a long way in 100 years. Students, faculty, staff, alumni and the Nacogdoches community have big plans to mark the university’s first century throughout 2023.

“SFA’s history is filled with incredible people and events,” said Dr. Steve Westbrook, SFA’s interim president. “Our campus and community have been looking forward to celebrating them.” The university’s centennial celebration launched over the weekend with a gala, and the remainder of the year features concerts and commemorations to remember those who have kept the Lumberjack

Saf et y » From 1A Jonathan Clark heard radio messages about tire failure. Minutes later, NASA lost contact with the crew. It was then that he knew they were all dead. Employed at NASA’s Johnson Space Center from 1997 to 2005, Jonathan Clark was crew surgeon on six shuttle missions and chief of the Medical Operations Branch. He’d taken a Saturday night shift monitoring the crew to allow two other physicians to rest. He first learned about the foam strike that night reading through NASA reports. “The first analysis said it wasn’t a big deal,” he said. But the foam strike led to one of the worst tragedies in the history of space exploration and spawned years of investigations. Clark was firs assigned to the investigation by NASA. He brought in a specialized set of skills learned from high-altitude parachuting, escape system evaluations and on-board shuttle rescue crews. Both he and Laurel Clark were Navy doctors. She served as an undersea medical of-

fice , dove with Navy Seals and became a flight surgeon. Jonathan Clark is board-certified in neurology and aerospace medicine. They met at dive school and married while serving in Scotland. As part of a NASA investigation, Jonathan Clark worked to help find the cause of the spacecraft failure. He later joined a group NASA formed in 2004 to continue the work. “I got pulled into that. It was NASA’s decision, not mine,” he said. Clark said a board member who had investigated shuttle tragedies wanted him to participate. NASA psychiatrists determined he was well qualified and psychologically able to participate in the investigation of his wife’s death. Being part of the investigation allowed him to eliminate a lot of “what-ifs” about the tragedy, he said. The group’s work has since become the bible of space mishap investigation. “NASA didn’t want much to come out about the crew,” he added. “But if we don’t learn from this, we do the crew a dis-

spirit alive through challenges and successes over the past 100 years. Events will culminate in a weekend of festivities leading up to Sept. 18, a century after SFA opened its doors on the 53rd birthday of its first p esident, Alton W. Birdwell. “This year, Sept. 18 falls on a Monday, so the centennial committee is busy planning a full weekend of events and activities including concerts, a luncheon, dedications

service. We belittle their sacrific . Astronauts said we need to do this.” Clark said he is exceptionally proud to be part of that extended investigation. “It made a huge difference in the safety culture and improvements. NASA still has a group that gives talks to commercial space companies about the lessons learned,” he said. Clark also emphasizes that the probe was focused on fin ing the cause, not assigning fault. Before that study, Clark said, NASA had a lack of situational awareness and emotional intelligence — even after the 1986 Challenger disaster. Lessons from mishaps dating back to Apollo 1 fi e that killed astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee enabled many advances, he said. “If the Apollo 1 mishap hadn’t happened, we probably wouldn’t have landed on the moon,” he said. “I wish I could tell Betty Grissom that things have gotten a lot better. It’s still constantly being

and a big birthday party,” said John Branch, chair of SFA’s centennial committee. “There will be more details as we get closer to the date.” The university also has exciting changes in store this year as legislation enabling the university to become a member of The University of Texas System is considered. In addition, the search for SFA’s next president is underway.

“SFA has more than 115,000 alumni who contribute to the economic and cultural vitality of Texas and beyond,” Westbrook said. “That number will continue to grow as we offer students a strong return on their higher education investment.” For more information on SFA’s history as well as centennial events and memorabilia, visit sfasu.edu/ centennial.

One member of the Columbia crew didn’t have a will, Clark said. “Laurel’s was outdated,” he added. “It was done when she was in the Marines — before

Iain was born.” Now every astronaut is required to an updated will, along with other important documents, before a mission launches. Clark is now an adjunct associate professor at the Baylor

College of Medicine in Houston, and continues to consult on safety in extreme environments. Valerie Reddell’s email is valerie.reddell@dailysentinel. com.

Shut t le » From 1A

“They told everyone to (stay) in place,” Barton said. “They didn’t want anyone injured by the debris falling.” Almost miraculously, no one on the ground was injured that Saturday morning. Larger pieces of the shuttle created impact craters. Recovering them required heavy equipment. Barton’s team found a hydraulic cylinder buried nine feet into the ground near Douglass. At least 20 pieces of the shuttle were found spread across the Douglass ISD campus. Officers’ initial instructions were to take photos using disposable cameras. Then they circled each item with orange spray paint and logged its location. Search volunteers soon brought GPS into the field, but many of the devices were mounted in vehicles or carried in backpacks. An astronaut was assigned to each team to help searchers distinguish pieces of Columbia. The team of astronauts included now-Sen. Mark Kelly and Gregory Johnson.

NASA also provided illustrations showing searchers what explosive hatch bolts looked like before and after detonation. Texas Rangers or FBI agents also were assigned to each team. Ham radio operators ensured teams had communications with a command base set up at the Nacogdoches County Exposition & Civic Center. Special crews with an astronaut, chaplain and mortician were dispatched whenever potential remains were found. Fred Raney, pastor of First Baptist Church in Hemphill and a captain of the Hemphill Fire Department, was a chaplain on the recovery teams. He incorporated Joshua 1:9 into each ceremony. That verse was recited by Rick Husband, the commander of Columbia, during launch. Raney was setting up a command center at the Hemphill Fire Department when Kelly, the astronaut who is now a U.S. Senator, requested a chaplain to pray over remains in the middle of a road. Raney prayed, then backed away

as the fallen astronaut was recovered. “That became the protocol,” he said. By the second impromptu memorial, Haney had incorporated words to honor the Hindu and Jewish crew members. “We have to respect each other, and we have to be true to our faith. We need to understand that and not be hostile,” he said. Raney also ministered to volunteers who came from across the nation to participate in the search, conducting daily devotionals and Sunday night services. Searching though the woods for debris and remains had been dangerous. About two weeks in, a National Guard helicopter crashed and killed two forest service workers, Charles Krenek and Jules “Buzz” Mier Jr. Nearly all the volunteer searchers endured minor scrapes as they fought their way through the deep brush that covers the impact zone. “A lot of the area is just choked

with shrubs and briars that latch onto you,” said Dr. Paul Risk, a wildlife biologist and professor emeritus at Stephen F. Austin State University. In countless areas of the forest, the understory is impassable. Volunteers flo ked to Nacogdoches to aid in the search. Barton said he met two brothers from New York. One was a nuclear physicist who quit his job to help. His brother worked in public safety and was part of the Ground Zero recovery following the 9/11 terror attacks. The brothers were well trained at recovery, but had no experience with heavily wooded areas, Barton said. Emily Taravella hung up her reporter’s hat after 11 years and now works as a counselor at Nacogdoches High School. She remains proud of how local officials rose to the occasion during recovery efforts. “They were calm, collected, and professional at all times,” she said. “They worked well with outside agencies and news organizations. They were transparent and accessible with information, providing

updates several times a day. They were respectful and reverent in the way they approached what had happened.” Officials and national media worked well together — and didn’t sideline local journalists in favor of their more famous counterparts, she said. The Taravellas were joined by family members who helped care for their infant daughter whose firs teeth had just appeared the morning of the disaster. She remembers taking lunch to her brother-in-law and Dr. John Pack, who were searching a remote area. “It was just a small gesture on my part. Dr. Pack and my brother-in-law were the ones doing the hard, sad work — but no small gestures went unnoticed at that time,” Taravella said. “Everyone pulled together, and everyone wanted to do what they could to help. People seemed a little kinder and a little more patient with one another during that time.” Valerie Reddell’s email is valerie. reddell@dailysentinel.com.

Duo helps ’Jacks win with double-double BY NATHAN HAGUE Staff Writer

Two Lumberjacks recorded a double-double in Saturday’s 79-65 win over Seattle U as Sadaidriene Hall scored 15 points and pulled down 10 rebounds while Nigel Hawkins had 10 points and 12 rebounds. “I’m happy that we won,” Lumberjacks head basketball coach Kyle Keller said. “I thought that we took some good shots. The guys surprised me because I said there’s no way if we turn it over 15 times that we’re going to win the game. I really commend our players for guarding the three-point line really, really well from a team that averages nine threes a game.” The win was SFA’s 10th at home as the team currently holds an overall record of 15-7 and a Western Athletic Conference record of 7-2. The Redhawks are now 16-6 overall and 7-2 in conference play. Latrell Jossell scored the first points of the game but a three from Brandton Chatfiel gave Seattle U its first lead of the night. Jossell put SFA back on top with a three and AJ Cajuste added to it with a layup. Jaylin Jackson-Posey drained a three. That was followed by four straight points for the Redhawks to make it a three-point game, 10-7. Cameron Tyson drained a shot from beyond the arc to tie the game

Nathan Hague/The Daily Sentinel

Sadaidriene Hall goes up for two points in Saturday’s game against Seattle U. up at 10. Hawkins scored back-toback buckets before Alex Schumacher’s two-pointer cut SFA’s lead to two points. Hall made back-to-back fiel goals before Matthew Levis drained a three. Seattle added a free throw and a field goal to make it a two-point game. The two teams exchanged threes as Roti Ware and Levis each knocked down a shot from beyond the arc. Levis and Riley Grigsby each put the ball in the net to tie the game up at 23 apiece. A pair of free throws from Paris Dawson put the Red-

hawks back on top. Nana Antwi-Boasiako went 2-for-2 from the foul line to tie the game. A turnaround jumper from Derrick Tezano gave the lead back to the Lumberjacks, 27-25. The Lumberjacks gave themselves some distance. Hawkins drained a three and moments later, tossed in a long two from the top of the key. AJ Cajuste’s bucket extended SFA’s lead to 38-29. Schumacher was fouled on a three-point attempt and sent to the line where he made all three free throws. That put the Redhawks within six points. SFA called timeout with two

seconds to play in the firs half. Cajuste took a shot at the buzzer but was unable to make it fall as the Lumberjacks took their 38-32 lead into halftime. Grigsby scored the firs points of the second half but a free throw from Jalil Beaubrun and a jumper from Ware gave the Lumberjacks a 41-34 lead. Tyson and Emeka Udenyi combined for the next four points to make it a one-possession game. Ware’s Jumper gave the Lumberjacks a little breathing room, making the score 43-38. After a timeout, Ware drained a three from the corner. SFA’s defense came up

with a steal that led to Jossell finding are for the assist. Moments later, Jossell added a free throw before Hall added two buckets. That gave the Lumberjacks a 13-point lead. Jossell drained a three from downtown in front of his team’s bench to spread the lead to 62-48. With just over seven minutes to play, Seyi Reiley threw down a dunk on an alley-oop. That cut SFA’s lead to 10 points. A free throw from Hawkins and a layup from Antwi-Boasiako were followed by a three from Jossell that had the crowd roaring and gave the Lumberjacks a 68-52 lead. Cajuste came up with a steal and layup to make it an 18-point game. Seattle scored the next six points but Jossell put an end to the run with a three. Tyson scored before Hall came away with an and-one. It was smooth sailing from there as the Lumberjacks sealed up the 79-65 win. SFA shot 53.4 percent from the field and 53.3 percent from three-point range. Jossell also finished the night with 15 points. Ware scored 12 points. Cajuste scored eight points and had six rebounds. Antwi-Boasiako finished the night with six points. Tezeno recorded five points. Beaubrun and Jackson-Posey each had three points. Kyle Hayman scored

Levis and Grigsby scored eight points each while Grigsby added six rebounds. Reily tossed in six points. “I did not think we guarded well the first three minutes, which caused me to call that timeout and it was about a five-point game at that point and I think our guys kind of reconnected,” Keller said. “I thought we went through about a four-minute stretch where we didn’t play very well and we didn’t have very much fight to us. I think our guys kind of woke up. “I think they realized, ‘If we guard this three-point line pretty well, they’re going to have a hard time scoring,’” Keller said, “because 46 percent of their shots come from the three-point line. If we take away their threes, they’re going to have a hard time scoring against us and if we stop turning the ball over, we’re going to score about 60 percent of the time against them.” The Lumberjacks will travel to take on New Mexico State Wednesday. Seattle U will return home to play host to Abilene Christian University. Nathan Hague’s email address is sports@dailysentinel. com.

Lancers snap Ladyjacks’ five- ame winning streak BY NATHAN HAGUE Staff Writer

Despite Kurstyn Harden putting up a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds, SFA’s women’s basketball team had its fivegame-winning streak snapped Saturday afternoon when it fell short to California Baptist University. “We’re obviously disappointed,” Ladyjacks head basketball coach Mark Kellogg said. “It was not our best effort. Credit Cal Baptist though first. That first half-shooting performance was impressive. The disappointing part is defensively, I don’t think we were where we needed to be. That’s a good shooting team who came in with all sorts of confidenc , who’s gotten healthy as the year has gone on. So they’ve been playing pretty well and we knew that.” The loss sets the Ladyjacks’ record to 17-4 overall and 7-2 against Western Athletic Conference opponents. CBU advances to 11-9 overall and 7-2 in WAC play. Filipa Barros scored the first points of the game before Jordan Harrison went 1-for-2 from the line to put the Ladyjacks on the scoreboard.

and even if they don’t become professional athletes, their athletic journey will allow them to learn things they would never have learned otherwise, and to meet people they never would have met. For example, if someone wants to coach or teach, playing sports and being around coaches is a great start. I’ve talked to athletic trainers who wanted to continue to be around sports so helping athletes stay healthy or get back on the field as not only a great way to do just that but it taught them life lessons they wouldn’t have learned if they took a different path. Perhaps someone wants to go pro in a career that has nothing to do with sports at all but we can’t doubt the impact that playing high school and college sports can

have. Not to mention, they’re not going to have success in sports without having success outside of sports. College coaches want to know they’re getting someone of integrity and a hard work ethic. Admittedly, I often get the “I knew that band before it was famous” mentality when it comes to athletes when I see them succeed at the college and pro levels. Even if I don’t know those I cover on a personal basis, I get proud of them for doing something that so few actually accomplish. I can’t imagine how much more proud it makes the families, friends and coaches. I’m just honored to be able to at least attempt to tell some of their stories.

WEDNESDAY PUZZLES

By Phillip Alder In today’s deal, for example, if South overcalls a natural two spades, what does West do? He might make a negative double. Then, over four spades by North, East might contest to five hearts However, if West passes, North’s jump to four spades will probably end the auction. Instead, if South has to start with two clubs, Cappelletti, West can bid two diamonds, a transfer to hearts. Now North wishes to compete, but is two spades sending that message? Regardless, East will rebid three hearts, and their fit wil have been found. How do four spades and fiv hearts fare? Suppose the defenders start with two rounds of trumps against four spades. Declarer wins and must duck a club. West shifts to diamonds. South ruffs the second round, plays a club to the ace, ruffs a club, ruffs a heart and discards his

last heart loser on the established club queen. Five hearts goes down if South gets a diamond ruff.

By Phillip Alder An opponent opens one notrump, and you, the next player, double. What does that mean? Most players treat it as a penalty double. However, does it tell partner that you have the contract defeated in your own hand and he is to pass regardless? Or could it be made with a big balanced hand, when you want partner to run if he is weak and has a long suit? That is a matter for partnership agreement. Sometimes you won’t mind one way or the other. Look at today’s South hand. If your admittedly debatable double is passed out, you have a great lead in the spade king. If partner runs to two of a minor, you can continue with two spades. (Yes, in this deal, West will run to two clubs, but you had no way to know that. This also leaves North awkwardly placed. Is double just value-showing? Is pass forcing? You see all of the homework you need to do!) Nowadays, because a penalty double has such a low frequency, many experts treat it as part of their

competitive methods. Here are four choices: a four-card major and a five-card or longer minor ( oolsey), a minor one-suiter or a major twosuiter (Meckwell), any one-suiter (DONT), two suits of the same color (CRASH). In today’s deal, if West sits for one no-trump doubled, he pays out 800. If he runs to two clubs, South will probably end in four spades. With only 16 points missing, declarer knows the heart finesse wil work. He loses only one spade, one diamond and one club, scoring 620.

The lizards also are liberally covered with spines or “horns,” especially on their heads. They make a painful and dangerous mouthful.

Public education should be a top priority for 88th Texas Legislature Every two years, Texas Legislators meet in Austin to pass legislation and set the biennial state budget. The 88th Legislative Session began on January 10th and ends on May 29th. The session is sure to be historic since the state has an unprecedented $32.7 billion surplus. The Dr. Brandon governor has Enos already verbally stated he wants $12.5 billion of the surplus funds used to lower property taxes across the state. Several educational issues should be championed by legislators during this legislative session. Educational Funding Currently, each child attending a public school district in Texas is funded $10,000 per student per year on average; however, the base allotment per child, which is provided by the state, is a mere $6,160. Comparatively, Texas ranks 38th nationally in average funding per child per year. As a state, it is difficult to be an industr leader in education if resources are not allocated to meet the growing needs of students. An increase in the basic allotment is necessary during this legislative session. Funding is provided to schools based on the average attendance of each child. If the attendance rate falls to 95% for a school, then 5% of the overall funding remains with the state under the current system. The school faces the uphill challenge of reteaching repetitively absent students with fewer dollars under this unfair system. Instead of funding schools partially, the legislators should pass legislation that makes funding more equitable to lower-socioeconomic schools. Funding for schools should be based on enrollment in the school and not tied to student attendance. School safety Safety must always be reevaluated, and if necessary, it must be adjusted to meet the current needs of our schools. Unfortunately, all the preparations and individualized plans do not help when they are ignored by emergency responders. This was the case in Uvalde last year. The administrators failed to adequately address issues like broken door latches and classroom doors that could not lock. Meanwhile, the local

police failed to follow their active-shooter training and protocols. The legislators will, undoubtedly, increase school safety mandates during this legislative session. Any new safety mandates must be accompanied by funding to implement the measures fully. Additionally, school funding allocated for facility improvements should not be universally mandated. Each school campus has safety improvement needs that are unique to its buildings. Any blanket, one size fits all pproach must be avoided. Immediately after the tragedy in Uvalde, the state purchased $50 million worth of bulletproof shields. When discussing the shields at a local all-hazards meeting in Nacogdoches, law enforcement said breaching tools would have been a better investment for their department. Legislators need to provide local discretion for any safety initiatives to ensure the measures meet local needs. Teacher Shortage In 2022, I was nominated to serve as a member of the Texas Teacher Vacancy Taskforce. Ultimately, the task force determined changes need to be made in four distinct areas: compensation, educator preparation, talent pipelines, and teacher experience. Each of the recommendations the task force will present to legislators is based on feedback received from teachers across the state. Some of the simple, common-sense changes include an updated minimum pay scale, a structured mentorship program, paid clinical teaching experiences, and a reduction in non-teaching tasks being assigned to teachers. Accountability The A-F accountability system is based almost entirely on a standardized test. Schools should be measured on a more holistic rating scheme which includes extracurricular activities that are important to the community and not just on creating good test-takers. An alternative to the current accountability system would be a community-created system where test scores can remain a component. Legislators need to pass legislation that allows for local community input into their schools’ accountability measures. Vouchers During the current legis-

lative session, there will be committee debate and bills introduced that support vouchers for public K-12 education. According to a 2018 study by American Progress, students using vouchers performed significant y worse than their peers who remained at the public school, especially in mathematics. Schools are already severely underfunded; so, redirecting any of the funds to private schools or charters only undermines the entire educational system. If private schools and charter schools followed the stringent Texas academic and accountability laws, then it would be a debatable issue; however, these private institutions operate outside of the public mandates and thus should not receive the public funding. What can you do? Elected officials nee to hear from their constituents. If an issue is important to the voters, it becomes important to the legislator. When contacting state legislators, let them know that you support public education in East Texas. Furthermore, as a supporter of public education in Texas, you should tell them you want them to accomplish the following during this legislative session. ■ correct the educational funding system by raising the basic allotment and by funding schools based on total enrollment instead of on average daily attendance ■ include local control and associated funding with any safety mandates ■ support the recommendations of the Texas Teacher Vacancy Task Force ■ allow community input into the accountability measures of each district ■ reject any type of voucher that would divert funds from an already underfunded K-12 public education system Contact Information for your state legislators ■ State Senator- Robert Nichols, robert.nichols@ senate.state.tx.us, 936-5644252 ■ State Rep.

In its infinite wi dom, Congress let the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA) die a silent death after having had it on the front burners for the past couple of Ken Cooke years. I hope our industry is not doing the same. In our country’s founding beginnings, our imperfect founders wrote close to a perfect document. In that document was an unfettered freedom of the press, added as another check on power that is still needed today. But that document said nothing about reporters, editors and publishers having to work for free. Let me explain. Much of what is left about this bill is solely about compensation. Other channels share the work of news gatherers, those same reporters, editors and publishers. But where mediums such as radio and television found a way to compensate composers, writers and producers, when their work is shared or rebroadcast, today’s social media and tech giants say it’s just too complicated. (Really?) When a composer writes a hit song, radio stations play it, bring in listeners and they sell advertising to those listeners. In the days before royalty agreements, those representing the songwriter and performer said that wasn’t fair, so they came up with a way to charge that radio station fees when they played the song that was the creation of someone else. When television reruns air, TV stations sell advertising to their viewers of that program and the powers that be came up with a fee to broadcast those popular reruns and compensate the writers, actors and actresses and so on. So why not for the written word? Google and Facebook take between 60 to 80 percent of the digital advertising revenue in any market across the country. (It’s higher in rural markets.) Our content is shared to their channels, but they say they can’t work out a system to compensate the content creators, even though they do so for popular Youtube video artists. So, we have seen a steady decline in ad revenue for newspapers, which in any market is the news source closest to the people (and many times the only news source doing original reporting and producing of news). I liken it to chocolate bars. If I took a bunch

of Hershey Bars from H-E-B without compensation, then put a new wrapper on them and sold them as my own, I’d be hearing from the police for stealing and from Mr. Hershey’s lawyer’s for product theft. Well, the news is our product. And we have invested a substantial amount in its production. Why should we not be compensated when it is shared and viewed on other channels, the same way a hit song continues to support the writer and singer well after it is originally aired? I try not to be a Debbie downer, but our industry has suffered. More than a few rural counties now have no newspaper, so the “news” is whatever garbage is shared on the free-forall that is Facebook. Now there’s a scary thought. And it has had a negative effect on democracy. There are now just a handful of reporters covering the goings on at our State Capitol due to cuts to newsrooms forced by the drop in advertising revenue. If we had no one covering school board, county and city government, our knowledge of the goings on would be only what our representatives told us it was. Sorry, but we need a filte . We also tell wonderful stories about people overcoming challenges, starting new businesses, and other uplifting stories. Those who “cancel” us because of an article they didn’t like are missing out on a lot of unique local content. The JCPA would allow news organizations to negotiate with the big tech companies for fair compensation. For now, it’s on the backburner, but I hope lawmakers will see its importance in time. I’m going to write U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, and Senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz and ask them to consider what’s happening to the legitimate news ecosystem. It may get ignored, or they may say “you deserve it,” but hopefully it will raise awareness of the hometown outlets that cover their constituents and state and local governments. We’re not all just Fox News or The New York Times fussing consistently over national issues. We worked it out for radio and television. It’s hard to believe the tech giants who built these behemoth entities Facebook and Google can’t figu e out a way to compensate producers of the work we publish.

BY NOOR ADATIA The Dallas Morning News (TNS) DALLAS — For many of us, the start to the new year offers a clean slate from our grueling end-of-year holiday schedules, providing us with an opportunity to reset and create resolutions. But striving to achieve such lofty goals can go against our natural instincts as humans, said Brianda Diaz de Leon, a licensed social worker with Dallas-based mental health company Thriveworks. The winter season — which brings with it colder weather and less daylight — takes a toll on many. The pressure to accomplish more in January, coupled with the fallout from the holiday season, causes people to struggle with their mental well-being, she said. “We’re still kind of animals, and in a sense, (winter) is a hibernation time for us, so we experience more fatigue and tiredness,” Diaz de Leon said. Here’s what else makes this time of year challenging for people and ways to cope with mounting anxiety.

What makes January depressing?

While January presents a new set of challenges, mental health begins

to fall off toward the end of the year, Diaz de Leon said. In 2022, more people were stressed during the holiday season than last, in part due to rising infl tion, according to a survey from the American Psychiatric Association. “Sometimes our capitalist society, and the demands of our capitalist holiday season, don’t truly align with just being human,” Diaz de Leon said. A recent poll compiled by the APA revealed that recession, gun violence and the Russia-Ukraine war also contributed to Americans’ anxiety in 2022. During the holiday season, people also have uncomfortable conversations with family members they haven’t seen in a while, she said. Those who suffer from anxiety are more likely to feel residual shame from these exchanges, which can continue into January. “We’re kind of at a place where there’s a shift of consciousness and maybe even political identity so that definite y came to head during the holidays,” she said. This year, Diaz de Leon said she has noticed higher rates of work-related and pandemic-related burnout among her patients. News of the XBB variant in December 2022

really hard time,” she said. “We are remaining hopeful, but it’s harder for them to bounce back than before.”

What about the new year?

Many workers also use their paid time-off to celebrate the end of year. But returning to the offic comes with the “PTO blues” and readjusting to the stressors of regular life, Diaz de Leon said. “Once January comes around, the holiday season is over,” she said. “A lot of us now are having to face the consequences of the fina cial decisions we’ve made.” Unrealistic new year’s resolutions may also contribute to feelings of failure and depression, and can peak around mid January. “Halfway through the month, we’re realizing that our new year’s resolution is probably not attainable, and a lot of us are kind of falling off the wagon,” she said. “So there’s also a lot of guilt and shame that’s being added to the stress we were already feeling.” Seasonal affective disorder, a recurring, seasonal depression that typically peaks in the fall and winter, can also play a role in declining mental health levels in January.

Ten weight training tips for beginners

BY JOEL STREED Mayo Clinic News Network (TNS)

Years ago, weightlifting was thought to be reserved solely for bodybuilders and athletes. However, there has been significant research on the medical benefits of lifting weights. Everyone benefits from stronger bones and muscles. Plan to incorporate weight training into your routine, regardless of your age, ability or fitness l vel. Weight training is a type of strength training that uses weights for resistance. This could be weight machines or free weights, like dumbbells or barbells, at home or a gym. It stresses and strengthens your muscles over time. Who can benefit from weight training? It doesn’t matter if you are 19 or 90, run marathons, or struggle to climb stairs; weight training can benefi everyone. It helps build muscle, strengthens bones, improves balance and prevents inju-

ries. Often, it is helpful for people with many chronic health conditions. Overall, it helps people feel better physically and mentally. Weight training also has been shown to help improve: ■ Blood pressure ■ Blood sugar (diabetes) ■ Brain health ■ Bone density ■ Cholesterol ■ Chronic pain ■ Heart disease ■ Depression ■ Metabolism ■ Self-confidenc ■ Thinking and learning skills ■ Weight management

Tips for getting started

Here are 10 key points to remember when considering beginning a new weight training routine: 1. Choose your equipment. Many options are available, such as free weights, hand weights, weight machines and bands. Some exercises only use your body weight and don’t require any

equipment. The right choice depends on your budget and preference. They all work if used properly. 2. Warm up. Cold muscles are more prone to injury, so consider warming up with a brisk walk for five to 10 minutes and dynamic stretching to start each training session. 3. Start light. Start with light to moderate weights in the first few sessions. Starting light can prevent muscle soreness and lessen the chance of injury. 4. Increase weight slowly. Gradually increasing the weight amount over a period of two to four weeks. Ten to 15 reps should become difficult as muscles tire and fatigue. 5. Pay attention to pain. Proper weight training should reduce pain, not cause it. If you have sharp or shooting pain, stop doing that exercise. If done correctly, it also should help your bones, tendons, ligaments and muscles become stronger.

your form. Most people can get the results by doing one set of 10 to 15 reps of each exercise. Previously, researchers recommended at least two to three sets. However, recent research states that one set, done properly, can be just as effective as multiple sets. Multi-sets are OK if you have extra free time and enjoy spending time in the gym.

10. Breathe. Remember always to maintain your breathing while you lift. Breathe out through the hardest part of the exercise. If you’re new to weight training, talk with a personal trainer or another member of your health care team about the best weight training exercises for you and learn about proper form and technique to avoid injury.

6. Lift slowly. When lifting weights, do not use momentum. Most weight training injuries occur from swinging the weights, improper technique or lifting too heavy an amount of weight. Take about two seconds to lift the weight and four or more seconds to lower the weight. Training slower activates more muscle fibers in the targeted muscle, which will increase the benefits of strength training in the end. 7. Build in rest. Work your muscles to fatigue on each exercise and then rest them for at least 48 hours. Lift weights two to three days a week for each muscle group. 8. Seek variety. A good weight training program should include at least eight to 12 different exercises. These should target the major muscles of the legs, back, chest, abdomen, arms and shoulders. 9. Focus on one set. Do at least one set on each exercise, paying attention to
