Star School Holds Final Graduation
By MIKE LEE Eagle Contributor Alumni and employees current and past gathered Friday for Star High School’s final commencement and to reminisce about their time at the school. “Remember that summer we tore out the old gym floor so they could put down the new one?” former teacher Bobby O’Neill asked school Facilities Engineer Paul Carl Ising. “I remember there was no air conditioning in here back then. We opened all three doors to the outside, but there wasn’t any breeze coming through,” Ising answered. “After we got the floor up, we pulled up 90 percent of the nails. It was you and me and a couple of kids helping us,” Ising said. “Did we ever get paid anything for doing that?” O’Neill asked.
“Naw,” Ising said. “It was kind of like when you took the money at the gate or ran the scoreboard at the ballgames. You just did it.” “I know,” O’Neill said. “We didn’t do it for the money. Doing things like that put you closer to the kids, closer to their families.” Star schools, which have operated in some form since 1888, served rural students in eastern Mills County for decades because of the volunteerism and community spirit that Ising and O’Neill discussed. Whether it was Willie Guill plowing the arena for the next rodeo, members of the Fire Department keeping up the rodeo arena or Ising replacing most of the water lines, the community always made sure projects around the school were done. But Friday, the school graduated its final senior class. Rumored to be closing since the 1960s, Star schools finally will consolidate with the Goldthwaite school district effective July 1.

Battenfield is a ‘Miracle’ with Horses By Tammarrah Pledger Eagle Asst. Editor Last week, The Eagle received a story from a woman from the Austin area who detailed her accounts of working with a local horse trainer. Catherine Pellizzari said her experience with Michael Battenfield was nothing short of a miracle. Pellizzari’s Story “I lost my oldest mare last year and felt my world had ended,” Pellizzari wrote. She said though she didn’t really feel she was ready for a new horse, her husband insisted they at least go look. She said they found two black horses, half-sisters about 10 to 11 months old, that were so poorly taken care of that their halters had cut into their skin. “I knew the work ahead of me. I managed to get the halters off, get them healed, and left them alone for a bit. It did not take long to realize one was scared of her own shadow and the other one would run you over,” she went on to say. When it came time to break the horses to be ridden, they sent the first one off to a trainer, but that turned out badly, Pellizzari said. “We sent the first one off and soon realized we needed to immediately go get our horse. Very bad experience, mainly for her. I would never forgive myself for not getting her sooner, he was no horse trainer. What to do now?” she said. The second trainer was better, she said, but didn’t want to continue the training for a prolonged time. He was riding both horses by the time Pellizzari brought them home. “I thought everything would be fine (for the most part),” Pellizzari wrote. “She runs me into the round pen, almost broke my hand, and before I can get a good hold, bucks me off. She was used to him, not me.” “In the past I would have just gotten right back on,” she said, but this was different. “I was hurt. Now I am nervous and (have) lost my confidence. How does that happen? Rode most my life. Not now. Almost gave up.” In a telephone interview, Pellizzari told The Eagle, “Until my accident, there wasn’t a horse I wouldn’t get on, but I had lost my confidence.” This horse had actually run her into steel panels, which tore up her right hand, and then before she could gather the reins, bucked her off and tore up her left leg, both of which will require surgery, she said. That’s why Pellizzari said she was about to give up when she first saw Battenfield in action. Pellizzari Meets Battenfield Last October at the Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society EXPO annual fund-raiser in Austin, she was manning a booth when she saw Battenfield giving one of his colt-starting demonstrations. When they announced that Battenfield, who had taken first place in the training competition the year prior, would be giving a demo, she was curious. “I was in awe,” she said. “There stood a young man, tall and slender, with a horse no one had been able to work with. I stood in disbelief as he began communicating with this horse, who wanted absolutely nothing to do with him! In less than 30 to 45 minutes he was on his back, and the horse was calm. Talk about a true
horse whisperer. I had to meet him.” “I waited for him to walk out and followed him back to sales.” Pellizzari writes. “I stopped him politely, and he allowed me to introduce myself and talk to him about what I had just witnessed. He continued to listen patiently as I explained what had happened to me and my horse. He offered some advice and told me he did offer classes, and that I should come to one.” “After I left that weekend, I kept imagining being able to even go watch this individual, not to mention have access to take classes and learn from this young man,” she said. A few weeks ago, that’s just what she did. Pellizzari Comes to Mills County “It was the most incredible week I have ever had,” Pellizzari said. “I learned more in a week then I have known all my life ... there are really no words. He does not just have talent, he has a gift — a gift that he is generously willing to share. He is very eager to teach and loves what he does. I have physical handicaps, and it made no difference. He was very patient and understanding.” Pellizzari said she had been involved in a five-car accident, in which she was struck from behind, causing her head to go through her windshield, resulting in a severe head injury. “There was never any bullying or mistreatment of any kind on his part. It was all about communication between him and the horse,” she said of Battenfield’s training methods. She said her horse came home very different. The horse, which Pellizzari said is probably one of the most dominant she has ever owned, is calmer and more responsive. “She does not try to run me over,” she said. “She settled down and with a lot more respect, is doing everything I have asked.” The horse, however, was not the only one changed by the experience with Battenfield, Pellizzari said. She said she had been through three trainers before Battenfield, and “he was (her) last hope.” “Here was a girl who had been around horses her whole life, but after my accident, my confidence was taken away. He gave it back. I felt like I had lost hope, and he restored it through the grace of God. I will always be eternally grateful. He is truly one of God’s miracles.” (For more on Battenfield’s training programs, visit www.battenfieldhorsemanship.com.)

The Goldthwaite Eagle
Pictured above is the cast of ‘New York Dreams,’ the first annual mystery dinner theater fund-raiser put on by the Goldthwaite High School fine arts department on May 22 in the First United Methodist Church Family Life Center. Also pictured are winners of the ‘Super Sleuth’ (Ginger Green), and ‘Clueless’ (Janea Medina) awards.
GHS Mystery Dinner Theater enjoyed by all
By Tammarrah Pledger Eagle Asst. Editor The Goldthwaite High School fine arts department’s first ever Mystery Dinner Theater — “New York Dreams,” put on the evening of Thursday, May 22, in the First United Methodist Church Family Life Center — was a tremendous success, and organizers are already planning for next year. Theater teacher Shelley Williams said every August, the fine arts department meets and discusses the possibility of combining band, art, and theatre in a production. Last year at Christmas time, they put on “A Charlie Brown Christmas” in conjunction with the Christmas band concert, and it was a big success. In considering this year’s production, they initially talked about another Christmas program because it worked so well, Williams said, but they decided to try an end-of-theyear program instead.
“Our main goal was to find a program that would highlight the talents of the students,” she said. “We wanted something fun, too. We decided to work on a mystery dinner theatre.” Williams went on to say Ginger Spies came up with the script they would use. “It was perfect. It was simple and easy to follow. That was exactly what I was looking for.” “Now that we have produced the mystery dinner theatre, we would like it to evolve into a more complex dinner theatre where several of the audience members actually participate,” she said. “We may even look at it being a two day event so we can have a smaller crowd so volume and sound is not as a significant issue,” Williams said. “We want the audience to hear and see everything we do. That helps make the experience memorable.” Williams said she was so excited by all the different as-
pects of the production — the crowd, the band, the dinner — that she forgot to ask for donations, but that the dessert auction did end up earning some money for the fine arts department, which was great. “Even though this was not a mega bucks fund-raiser, there are things money can not buy,” she said. “This night was one of those nights. It was a priceless night for me. I witnessed students stand before an audience and perform a show, mingle among the tables and visit, and laugh with the audience. However, the most important thing I witnessed was the concept of family. There was so much love and support in the Family Life Center that my heart was full. Life lessons were learned and shared all because school and community came together as one. I am so honored to be a part of Goldthwaite.” Art teacher Kathy Gist said her students worked hard on the set, putting in lots of man hours to get it just right, but that she, too, felt the event was a success. “Our part was really hard because we had to construct (the set) here,” Gist said. It took every art student in each grade to complete the set, she said. She had one of her seniors measure the stage at the Family Life Center before they started constructing the set at the high school. They researched New York City restaurants in the 1970s, when the play is set, before Ryan Miles is center stage, above, during the performance of ‘New starting construction. “We found one we really York Dreams.’

loved,” Gist said, and then they set about designing, gathering supplies, painting, cutting, arranging lights, etc. “It went really well,” she said, adding one class helped her set it up in the Family Life Center, and some even stayed to help with the final touches. Art student parents also helped with desserts, she said. Gist especially thanked Ginger Spies for driving to Austin to get (and donate) the two large photos of New York City that were part of the backdrop. “That was so greatly appreciated,” she said. “It turned out great,” Gist said, adding she wanted to thank everyone for their help, hard work, donations of supplies, and support. “It took everyone helping to get it put together,” she said. The GHS jazz band was also part of the performance at the dinner theater, and Band Director Susan Reynolds said
she and her students really enjoyed the dinner theater. The jazz band consists of members of the Golden Eagle Band, but doesn’t have a regular class period, so they meet when they can during homeroom. It can be a stretch to get everyone there, because that’s when tutorials, makeup work, class meetings, club meetings, special assignments and other practices happen. “And the jazz kids are involved in everything,” Reynolds explained. “It was so much fun providing the ambiance for the Mystery Dinner!” Reynolds went on to say. The music the jazz band played was big band swing, mostly from the 1940s, but there were a couple of more recent selections in the set. Aside from “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B,” the competition piece for the UIL Ensemble Contest last February, the rest
of the music from the dinner theater was learned in a few irregularly attended practices during the couple of weeks leading up to it. “Those kids are just plain smart and talented!” she said. “I knew it was being received well when I was asked more than once where the dance floor was. We’ll have to add that next year!” Reynolds went on to say the rest of the band was not left out. They served as waiters and waitresses, dessert models, bussed tables and helped in the kitchen. Several of them brought desserts, too. “The Mystery Dinner was so much fun, and we got such great feedback that we plan to do it again, next year with a few minor changes,” Reynolds said. “I can’t thank this community enough for their enthusiastic support of the Fine Arts Department at GHS!”

Lieutenant governor’s challenger wins runoff
Republican voters picked Dan Patrick to face Democrat Leticia Van de Putte in the race for lieutenant governor in November. Patrick received 65 percent of the vote to incumbent Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst’s 35 percent in the May 27 runoff. Sen. Patrick, R-Houston, and Sen. Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, have seven years and 15 years of experience, respectively, as members of the 31-member Senate. Van de Putte ran unopposed in the March Democratic Party Primary. Dewhurst has presided over the Senate since 2003. His term of office will expire on Dec. 31. A businessman in private life, Dewhurst has been credited for his leadership in balancing five two-year state budgets and in building a multi-billion dollar “rainy day” fund to be tapped in fiscal emergencies. In other party primary runoff results, incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. John Cornyn will face Dallas businessman Dr. David M. Alameel, a Democrat, in the November general election. Alameel won the primary runoff with 72 percent of the vote to Kesha Rogers of Houston’s 28 percent. Jim Hogan of Cleburne won the Democratic runoff for agriculture commissioner over Richard S. “Kinky” Friedman. Hogan’s opponent in November will be former state Rep. Sid Miller of Stephenville, who beat former state Rep. Tommy Merritt of Longview in the GOP runoff. State Sen. Ken Paxton of McKinney, with 63.6 percent of the vote, won the GOP runoff for attorney general against state Rep. Dan Branch of Dallas, who received 36.4 percent. Pasadena oil, gas and petrochemical consultant Ryan Sitton won the GOP runoff for a seat on the three-member Texas Railroad Commission in a contest with former state Rep. Wayne Christian of Center. Greenville physician Dr. Bob Deuell, a long-serving member of the Texas Senate, was defeated by 300 votes in a runoff against Bob Hall of Edgewood. And, incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Ralph Hall of Rockwall, with 47.2 percent of the vote, lost in his runoff bid against John Ratcliffe, who received 52.8 percent. The outcome of this runoff was reported in the national news. Hall, 91, is a World War II veteran and the oldest member of the U.S. House of Representatives. He was a Democrat when he first entered the House in 1981 and in 2004 switched to the Republican Party. Ratcliffe, who served under then-Pres-
ident George W. Bush as a U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Texas, also served eight terms as mayor of Heath, Texas, a municipality just south of Hall’s home in Rockwall, 30 minutes east of Dallas. Coming up this month are state party conventions during which nominations will be made official. The Republican State Convention will be held at the Fort Worth Convention Center from June 5-7 and the Democratic State Convention will be held June 26-28 at the Dallas Convention Center.
Hearing focuses on impeachment
Steps toward impeachment of University of Texas System regent Wallace Hall of Dallas continued May 21 when the House Select Committee on Transparency in State Agency Operations met. Earlier in May the panel voted to move forward in processes leading toward having Hall removed from office. The panel and the state’s Public Integrity Unit have been investigating Hall for nearly a year to determine if the regent misused his office in an attempt to have UT President William Powers Jr. fired. Invited to testify was Jeff Archer, Texas Legislative Council assistant executive counsel who explained the framework for developing articles of impeachment. Any member or group of members of the Legislature may confidentially submit a proposed article of impeachment, and submitted material would be parceled out to a trio of drafting attorneys, he said, adding that articles of impeachment drawn up by the House would be subject to review by Senate. Texas House Parliamentarian Chris Griesel testified, saying the House could be called back into session by either by proclamation of the governor or by a majority of members of the House. If the committee were to adopt articles of impeachment to present for consideration in the House, steps would have to be taken such as publication of notice in newspapers giving the particulars of a special convening of the Legislature, Griesel said. There is a record of how the Legislature has handled such matters, Griesel said, in the 1917 impeachment of Gov. James A. Ferguson and in the 1975-76 impeachment of state District Judge O.P. Carrillo. But there is no record of an impeachment of an appointed state official. Hall was appointed a six-year term as a UT regent by Gov. Rick Perry in 2011.

Senior AJ Guerrero poses with GHS teacher Juel Ann Holtzclaw, holding the pencil sketch of her husband, Doug Holtzclaw, that she commissioned AJ to draw.
Art student creates sketch for teacher
By Tammarrah Pledger Eagle Asst. Editor One Goldthwaite High School senior who plans to go on to study art has already done his first commissioned art work. GHS government and economics teacher Juel Ann Holtzclaw said she had noticed AJ Guerrero’s pieces depicting football players or related themes in years past, and those pieces caught her eye as football has always been a big part of her life. A former Howard Payne University cheerleader, Mrs. Holtzclaw would go on to marry a football player, and have two sons play football for the Goldthwaite Eagles. “I noticed a piece AJ did of a football player a couple of years ago, and bought magnets of AJ’s football helmets for my boys,” she said. The magnets were AJ’s art work that were sold as part of a fund-raiser for the art department. “Last year I asked him, ‘If I gave you a picture, would you do a sketch for me?’” Mrs. Holtzclaw recalled. But at that time, AJ’s grandfather had just passed away, and he opted to do his art piece that year of his grandfather. “So I tried again this year. I asked him to just think about it. I said, ‘I’ll even pay you!” She said he thought about it awhile and then finally agreed. She gave AJ a picture cut out from one of her husband, Doug Holtzclaw’s, old football programs. Doug Holtzclaw, who was the pastor at the First Baptist Church for more than 30 years before retiring recently, played two seasons with the Fort Worth Braves in 1968 and 1969, after finishing at Howard Payne University, where he also played. The program picture was from his time with the Braves, during which time he was also going to seminary. Mrs. Holtzclaw said she was hoping to surprise her husband with the sketch in time for his birthday in April, but AJ was not in art class this year, and was doing the sketch in his free time — something he didn’t have a lot of — so it wasn’t done until a little later. Mrs. Holtzclaw said she was “tickled,” however, when

AJ did finish the piece. “I loved it!” she said. “I thought it was just perfect ... just like the picture.” Mr. Holtzclaw was also impressed with the sketch, though his initial response, his wife said, was, “I look so mean!” “He’s such a talented young man,” Mrs. Holtzclaw said of AJ. “He has a real God-given talent. He’s very blessed.” For his part, AJ said he enjoyed doing the sketch. “It was a fun picture to draw,” he said. “I liked doing all the wrinkles in the pants.” He said it was also interesting to see how the sports photographs were different in the late 1960s compared to now. “I liked the picture a lot,” he added, “and from what I’ve heard he was a good player.” AJ said it took him between two and three months to finish the pencil sketch. In addition to his studies, AJ also played football and was involved in track this year. When asked if he was nervous about presenting his first commissioned piece, AJ said he was sure Mrs. Holtzclaw would like the finished sketch because he liked it so much. Mrs. Holtzclaw teased AJ, saying someday his name “will be in lights,” and that he better dedicate his first award to his high school teacher behind his first commissioned piece. “Ok,” he laughed. AJ was a Junior VASE (Visual Arts Scholastic Event) Regional and State Silver Medallion recipient in 2010; a VASE Regional, Area and State medalist in 2011; a VASE Regional medalist in 2012; Overall Reserve Champion Artwork winner at the Mills County Youth Fair, and VASE Regional Area and State medalist, with State Gold Seal (top 150) in 2013; and a VASE Regional and Area medalist and State Qualifier with a perfect Regional score, with artwork selected by Region 12 for the Art Gala gallery display in 2014. AJ, a son of Alfredo and Martha Guerrero of Goldthwaite, plans to attend Texas State Technical College in Waco to study paint or design.

The Goldthwaite Eagle
Final Graduation continued from 1A
Stories, memories flow during Star’s final commencement Goldthwaite agreed to keep Star’s main school building and its gym open and maintained by Ising for a minimum of three years. Goldthwaite school functions – most likely its Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP) and credits recovery program – will be moved to Star. The gym will remain open to host Star community events. Ray Baird, who moved from Brownwood as a junior in 1982 and graduated from Star a year later, watched Friday as his stepson, Jacob Wylie, was one of eight graduates in the final commencement. “I’m happy for him, but sad for Star. It has been a good ol’ school for a long time,” said Baird, distinguishable by his 6-foot-9 frame. “It’s the only school building I know of where you can see from one end to the other and recognize people’s faces. “At Brownwood, we’d have 35 students in a classroom with one teacher. It took the teacher two months to learn your name. At Star, I had oneon-one contact with my teachers.
“I guess this is a sign of the times. If we could have gotten more people living out here, it would continue to be a great school,” Baird said. Gerry Robinson lives 80 miles away in Kopperl, but as a former Star teacher and coach, he drove down to see some of his former students graduate. “It’s sad because, when a community loses its school, it loses its identity,” said Robinson, who coached the Tigers’ football team to a 11-1 record and its last regional championship in 2008. “You think about all those trophies and those kids that played football and basketball and all the hours of work they put in at practice and the games. That’s no more. “I taught for 27 years, and these kids at Star were some of the best I was ever around. It was because they were country kids. In a small community, your neighbors are like kinfolks. You don’t have the problems they have in bigger schools – like gangs. We didn’t offer that here,” Robinson said. The Star Tiger appearing to come out of the Gym wall is one of the iconic images of the Star Independent What Star schools meant to School District that will stay with graduates for years to come.

and David Marchbanks, are Star’s superintendent and principal, respectively. “I already had my senior ring from Star, and I had a letter jacket for playing basketball,” Matthew Marchbanks said. In order to graduate, he took some classes, including physics and English III and IV, online in his spare time from his traditional classes. “It wasn’t exactly easy, but I was determined to do it so I could graduate from here this year,” he said. Barbara Marchbanks said Matthew suffers from dyslexia, a reading and learning disorder that can affect students with above average intelligence. “That made it even more difficult. He had to read things three or four times to fully understand it, but he was so determined to do it,” Barbara

Marchbanks said of her son, who was Star’s 2014 valedictorian. Barbara, David and Matthew Marchbanks live in Cleburne, and for the last seven years, they left home at 4:30 a.m. each Monday to make the 100-mile drive to Star. For the last four-plus years, the three lived in a 30-foot travel trailer parked behind the Star school on Monday-Thursday and returned to Cleburne after school on Fridays for weekends. “It sometimes got a little tight, especially with a 17-year-old,” Barbara Marchbanks said of their living quarters. The superintendent helped keep the school open about six years longer than expected by writing grants for everything from air conditioning units to Internet connectivity to help in paying teacher salaries. “I can’t say enough about Ms. Marchbanks and the job she did to keep the school open,” said Darrell Hunt, a 1965 Star graduate and science teacher for the last three years. “There were so many times they told her it would be the last year. You have to satisfy a lot of people with a lot of paperwork to get those grants. “When the TEA (Texas Education Agency) audited us – and they always try to find something that’s out of line – they couldn’t find anything wrong here.” But with only 46 students from pre-kindergarten through the 12th grade this year, the TEA determined it could no longer fund a school at Star. “It’s a shame because it’s still a beautiful school. That mural of the Tiger coming through the wall (of the gym) is absolutely beautiful,” Star historian J.D. Hunt said of the school’s main structures, both built in the 1930s. Hunt, 89 and a Star school board member for 36 years, attended Friday’s final commencement and stayed afterward for cake and punch. He looked around, paused and said: “I thought maybe I’d die before this day came.”

Appraisal District News
Submitted by Dori Blesh
Protest Deadline Drawing Near Notices of Appraised Value were mailed in early May. Since that time, the appraisal district has been conducting informal hearings with property owners regarding their 2014 property value. At the same time, the district has been scheduling formal protest hearings with the Appraisal Review Board for those who were unable to reach an agreement in an informal setting. The protest deadline is Tuesday, June 10. Property owners must file a written protest and have it post marked by June 10 or their right to protest is forfeited. The protest can be made using the form that was included with the notice of appraised value or the property owner can simply send in a letter indicating they wish to protest. The letter must include the owner’s name, address and phone number, and the property ID. Likewise, the letter should state the reason the owner is protesting (i. e. value too high, exemption removed, special valuation removed, etc.). This year property owners have the opportunity to file a protest online at the appraisal district’s website, www.isouthwestdata.com. Online protests are only available for value protests for a property with a homestead exemption. The district encourages property owners with questions about their notice of appraised value to contact the office. The staff is available from 8:00 a.m. to noon and 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. daily to answer questions. We can be reached at 325-648-2253 or in person at 901 6th Street in Goldthwaite.

TEXAS BEEF CHECKOFF REFERENDUM SET FOR JUNE 2-6   Texas beef producers can soon vote in the upcoming Texas Beef Checkoff Referendum June 2-6.   Voting will occur at all Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service offices during regular business hours the week of June 2-6. The statewide election is being conducted by the Texas Department of Agriculture in accordance with provisions of the Texas Agriculture Code.   If passed, the producer managed program would be financed through a refundable $1 per head assessment at each point of sale.   The money would be used for promotion, marketing, research and educational efforts of beef and beef products in Texas, the U.S. and/or internationally. Funding decisions would be made by the Beef Promotion and Research Council of Texas whose members would be appointed by the Texas Commissioner of Agriculture from nominees submitted by the Texas Beef Council.  Eligible producers can vote at any AgriLife Extension office regardless of where they live or where their cattle are located. Producers may vote as individuals or as a legal business entity. Youth younger than 16 years old must have a parent or guardian co-sign their ballot. Any producer, regardless of age, who has owned cattle in Texas any time between June 6, 2013 – June 6, 2014 is eligible to vote in the referendum. A non-producer (i.e. dealer, order buyer etc.) is not eligible to vote in the referendum.   If passed:   • Assessment collection would begin Oct. 1.   • A producer who has paid an assessment to the Texas Beef Checkoff may obtain a refund of the amount paid by filing an application for refund with the Beef Promotion and Research Council of Texas within 60 days after the date of payment.   • The Texas Beef Checkoff program differs from the current U.S. Beef Checkoff in two ways, though the Texas program may complement and extend the U.S. Beef Checkoff efforts. First, the U.S. program requires half the revenue be paid to the Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion and Research Board, but all the Texas Beef Checkoff assessment would be managed by the Beef Promotion and Research Council of Texas. The second difference is the Texas Beef Checkoff assessment is refundable. â€ƒâ€˘ Individuals are considered “non-producersâ€? and are exempt from the proposed assessment if they own cattle for less than 10 days or serve as a dealer or order buyer in the sales transaction. Non-producers are also ineligible to vote in the referendum.   For additional information, contact Lance Williams, Texas Department of Agriculture, P.O. Box 12847, Austin, Texas, 78711 or call 512-463-3285.

TUESDAY, May 27:   We had a short run today because of the rain in our area! The
rain averaged in the 3�4� range across most of Hamilton County. Our market was steady with last weeks market. This rain could slow the number of cows coming to town and it could increase the price of replacements. If you have cattle to sell, give us a call! Thank you Lord for the rain

Bridging the Gap... by Georgie Bridges
Demolition begins at GES Demolition of Goldthwaite Elementary School started Monday, June 2.The school, which was built in the 1950s, is being demolished as part of the ongoing construction of the new elementary school, seen in the background above. GES Principal Dee Dee Wright said Tuesday asbestos abatement is ongoing as part of the demolition. She also thanked the teachers and other staff and their families for helping with the moving and packing at the old school. She said materials, furniture and other parts of the old school are being recycled as opportunities arise, with items going to several churches, the Green House, the House of Hope, and the Rodeo Association. Out of date textbooks that no long align with state-mandated TEKS were taken to a recycling plant in Waco, Wright said, to be recycled into other paper products. Georgie poses with her little visitor, 3-year old Avery Bowman of Austin, over the weekend in Goldthwaite.

70 Years Together!
Floyd and Jo (Kelley) Spradley of Goldthwaite celebrated 70 years of marriage on Monday. They were married on June 2, 1944. They met when Floyd was working with Jo’s father at Fort Hood, and married when Floyd, originally from Lubbock, was 17-years old, and Jo, originally from Turnersville, was 16-years old. Their first home together was on 14th Street in Lubbock, and they settled in Goldthwaite in the 1950s. They operated an upholstery shop together for most of their lives, and have always been very involved in their church. They were part of the founding congregation of the Fellowship Baptist Church in Goldthwaite, and Floyd led the singing for many years at the First Baptist Church in Goldthwaite. They have three children — Marge, Danny and Tim — eight grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren.

Papa and I drove to the Fort Worth Convention Center last Thursday evening to attend grandson Cody’s graduation from Granbury High School. There were 355 candidates. How the professors got them all to walk in by twos in the correct order was pretty amazing. The beat of the Graduation March, or whatever it is called, is still going through my mind ... dun, dun-to-dun, dun dunnnn, dun, dun-to-dun, dun dunnnn. We got to visit with Cody afterwards in the hallway before he was off to his all night lock-in celebration at the Granbury High School. Blake and Anna came from Nacogdoches to watch the graduation and then spent a day afterward with his mother. Anna and Blake seem to be doing well together. I said, “Anna, how is it that you seem to keep Blake on the straight and narrow?” She looked at me and said, “On, no, MiMi, Blake is the one that keeps me straight.” Anna is a sweet little girl, and Papa and I love her. Blake will stay at Nacogdoches this summer to take some summer classes and he has a job at the clerk’s office in the courthouse there. I hope he can keep up with both school and the job and with Anna too. I told Blake that Papa and I might pull our travel trailer and spend a day or two with him and Anna. Sarah and Carson still have two more days of school in California. I Face-timed them last night and they are both ready to come to Texas. I talked to both of them and asked if they would like to go to basketball camp while they are in Goldthwaite. I told them that they could make some new friends here and in the meantime learn some basketball skills. I will talk to Angie Hermesmeyer today to get them on the list. They also want to go to the Methodist Bible School where Debra will be one of the leaders. Maybe with all these activities I just might survive my own grandkids for four weeks this summer. Honestly I will love having them under my feet along with Amber and Flint and whoever shows up to play, swim, or whatever. Papa’s eyes might pop out of his head when he sees the grocery bills. I hope he says something about that because I have the perfect comeback. Here is what I plan to do. I will kiss him and smile at him and remind him that the grocery bills don’t even compare to the cost of one golfing tournament ... or maybe two or three of them. We will have fun about that. Pat and Dennis came by to see me Saturday morning. They had one of their granddaughters with them who lives in Austin. Avery is her name and she is the daughter of Audrey (Gustafson) and Matt Bowman. A beautiful little three year old. I was talking to her and asking questions that I already knew the answers to but wanted her to feel at home here. Pat had brought her some food and she was at the kitchen bar slowly eating. I asked, “Avery, what do you call ... ?” and I pointed to Pat. She said, “That’s Pattycakes.” I pointed to Dennis and asked her what she called him. She said, “He is Grandpa.” Then I said, “I know your mother.” She looked at me with the most beautiful brown eyes you have ever seen. I said, “What does your mother do.” She looked at me like I was rather dense and said, “She doesn’t do anything. She’s my Mommy.”

Letter to the Editor A Spiritual Release 1885 or 1888, depending on the sources you read, is the year Star ISD was born. During this period in our history, things were very different. In each small community there was usually a small church and a small school. Many times they shared the same building. It was the focal point of all social events. For the most part, this was the case in all of Texas. Roads were no more than wagon trails, churches had traveling preachers who came in horse and buggy, maybe once a month. On those days the meetings lasted all day. There were weddings, people being baptized and remembering those who had passed on. During the school week students either walked to school or rode mules or horses. In many cases shoes were optional. Teachers and preachers were revered. In Central Texas there were many such schools. In these schools attended the children and grandchildren of our Civil War Veterans, who had fought and in many cases died for a belief. Graduates from these schools were often the first to answer a nations call in time of need. The people who served in the Spanish American War, the first World War, the war to end all wars. Then there were those of the Greatest Generation who served in World War II. Then there came the Korean War, which
was termed a police action. Let us not forget Vietnam, which was the most unpopular war as depicted by the media. We must include those of today in Iraq and Afghanistan, which are fighting war against terrorism. As I walk the halls, I envision the spirits of those veterans who have departed. As they walk the hallways looking at the old trophies and class pictures. I hear them discussing the pranks they pulled, their graduation, and the life lessons they had learned. Finally they discussed their lives after graduation and the battles they had fought in. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention those people who have since passed, who had a profound effect on my professional and personal life since coming to Star ISD. Gail Owens, Big Sammy Harper, Annette Kenney, Russell Boyd, David Ozmun, James Clary and most recently Cleta Hunt. It is through these people that I finalized my learning of honesty and integrity. I learned these two principles have been the backbone of rural education and learning at Star since 1885. Principles that were displayed by the veterans of the past and those of today, the attacks on these principles have been continuously ongoing since the beginning of recorded history. More so today than ever
before, these attacks come from the lowest of elected officials all the way to our national government. But that in itself is another story for another time. I feel it is the responsibility of all school districts, particularly the rural districts, to continue to teach these principles to all students. Principles that will guide them through life and serve them well. To all students in all districts in this state, I urge you to live by these principles. They will not fail you, only you can fail them. As the last echoes of laughing happy children fade from the playground, classrooms and hallways, I hear the voices of the Spirits as they depart for the last time. I hear them question “was it worth it; did we do good?” As the last Spirit leaves and turns, I see the face of James Clary, his cap kicked back high on his head and his shirt pocket full of stuff, reply “Only time will tell Bob, only time will tell.” Bobby O’Neill Retired teacher DAV USRA
