His Behavior Is Out Of Control
By Dr. Robert Wallace
DR. WALLACE: I’m 18 and Mario is 20 and we have been dating for about four months. We met at a friend’s birthday party and were mutually attracted to one another. The first two months together were wonderful and we had great times together. Then Mario seemed to change. If I wasn’t home when he called, he demanded to know where I was and who I was with. Pretty soon he got upset if I talked to another guy. Then he started following me in his car when I walked home from work. He doesn’t know I’m aware of this, but I have seen him following me in his car about a block behind me. As soon as I get home, he calls me and pretends to be somewhere else. On our last date, he took me home early when I talked for a few minutes to a guy from my church when we were at the mall. On the way home, he told me he did not want me ever to talk to another guy when I was out with him. Now my parents are upset with him because of this and they told me that I should just stop seeing him immediately. I’m not really sure if I want to do that. I kind of like that he is jealous and it makes me feel special and wanted. What do you think I should do? — Nameless, Del Rio, Tex. NAMELESS: Mario’s possessive behavior is out of control and will only get worse. While his jealousy may make you feel “special and wanted” now (though it’s obviously unnerving as well) soon will begin to make you feel like a bird in a cage. He has crossed way over the line and may need professional help to get a handle on his deep-seated insecurities and inability to trust. I urge you to listen to Mom and Dad and give this guy his walking papers. You deserve to be treated with love and respect, which will truly make you feel special and wanted.

Lobo Band Members Named 'Texas All-State'
T
hree members of the Big Green Marching Machine have been selected to the prestigious Texas All-State Band. Joshua Babino, son of Jonathan and Rochelle Babino, Levi Grant, son of Doice and Beth Grant, and Myles Meader, son of Matthew and Francis Meader, will perform with the Texas All-State Band in San Antonio, Saturday, Feb. 11 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center as part of the 2017 Texas Music Educators Association Convention. They were chosen for this honor through a competitive process held this year across the state at District, Region and Area levels. LHS Director of Bands Louis Robinett said students selected to perform in the All-State concerts have competed through several levels of auditions beginning in the fall of 2016 to arrive at the state level. "All-State is the highest honor a Texas music student can receive," he said. "Over 1,500 students are selected through a process that began with over 60,000 students from around the state vying for this honor to perform in one of 14 ensembles bands." Joshua, Levi, and Myles are students of Robinett, as well as Tommy Moore,
Tim Drayton, Arri Moore, Jessica Philippus, and David Applegate — all members of the Texas Music Educators Association, an 11,000+ member organization headquartered in Austin. Texas Music Educators Association sponsors the Texas All-State competition. This competitive process begins throughout the state in auditions hosted by 28 TMEA Regions. Individual musicians perform selected music for a panel of judges who rank each instrument or voice part. From this ranking, a select group of musicians advances from their Region to compete against musicians from other areas in seven TMEA Area competitions. The highest-ranking musicians judged at the TMEA Area competitions qualify to perform in a TMEA All-State music group. All-State students will participate in three days of rehearsals directed by nationally-recognized conductors during the TMEA Clinic/Convention. Their performances for thousands of attendees bring this extraordinary event to a close. For the All-State concert schedule and conductor information, go to tmea.org/convention.
Texas Shakespeare Festival Awarded The Texas Shakespeare Festival at Kilgore College has been awarded a $10,000 Art Works grant from the National Endowment for the Arts for the TSF’s Roadshow Educational Tour. With the NEA Art Works grant, the TSF can bring free abridged productions of Shakespeare and workshops into East Texas schools and in communities throughout the state this spring. The Art Works category focuses on the creation of art that meets the highest standards of excellence, public engagement with diverse and excellent art, lifelong learning in the arts and the strengthening of communities through the arts. “We are very proud at TSF to be producing arts education and outreach that’s receiving this sort of national acknowledgment,” said TSF Roadshow director Matthew Simpson. “This grant allows us to make a deeper impact, to reach more students in our area and to spread the word of the incredible resources available at TSF and Kilgore College.”
More than $30 million in grants were awarded by the NEA in its first major funding announcement of fiscal year 2017. “The arts are for all of us, and by supporting organizations such as the Texas Shakespeare Festival, the National Endowment for the Arts is providing more opportunities for the public to engage with the arts,” said NEA chairman Jane Chu. “Whether in a theater, a town square, a museum, or a hospital, the arts are everywhere and make our lives richer.” “We want to make sure that all students are able to experience the magic that TSF has created for 32 years,” Simpson said. “If they are unable to come to us, we will find a way to bring it to them.” For more information on the Texas Shakespeare Festival, visit www. texasshakespeare.com.
