Body found near school By Greg Ford

news@sachsenews.com SACHSE — The Sachse Police Department is currently investigating the death of a 24-year-old Wylie resident, whose body was found early Sunday morning along a roadway. Manley Thomas Gosselin was found in the 4000 block of Mitchell Court after a driver reported seeing a male lying in the roadway, said Sachse police spokesperson Lt. Steve Norris. Gosselin was declared dead at the scene by a medical examiner, Norris said. An autopsy was performed Monday, which should provide some clarity, Norris noted. There was trauma to the body, he said, but an autopsy is needed to determine whether or not that had anything to do with Gosselin’s death. “I think as soon as we receive the autopsy report, it will lead to the cause of death and what direction we want to go (with the investigation),” Norris said. Mitchell Court is right behind Sachse High School near the intersection of Hudson and Miles Road.

Veterans honored at annual celebration Artifacts displayed include 75-year-old bugle from Pearl Harbor

Larry Quave plays taps on a 75-year-old bugle during the annual SHS Veterans Day program Saturday, Nov. 5. The antique bugle was used by a Marine Corps musician at Pearl Harbor in 1941.

About 70 people attended the annual Sachse Historical Society Veterans Day program Saturday, Nov. 5 on museum grounds. The event kicked off with the “chiming in” ceremony conducted by SHS board member Jim Mathis, officially signaling the 11 a.m. start time. Sachse resident Zach Gray led the group in the pledge of allegiance. Mayor pro tem Charlie Ross read a procla-

mation, and Councilman Paul Watkins led the invocation. The “Star Spangled Banner” was sung by Bailey Iverson. There were presentations by Bob Soule, Tricia Lindsey and SHS President Bobby Tillman. Tillman explained the meaning of Veterans Day, citing that at 11 a.m. each Nov. 11, a color guard made up of members from each of the military branches, renders honors to America’s war dead during a ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery.

TI pilot program teaches students after school By Greg Ford Staff Writer

news@sachsenews.com It’s the age-old question many students ask: “How does this apply to me?” It’s one often posed when sitting through various science and math classes at the high school level. Now some Sachse High School students are engaging in just that. They are part of an after-school pilot program being done in conjunction with Texas Instruments, in which they’re using TI technology to come up with a solution to a problem. In their case, it’s droughtrelated problems, such as the one currently being experienced in Zimbabwe. Its unofficial name is the “Smart Water Project,” in which students build a program to determine what’s the best time to turn on pumps to water land and vegetation. In it, students are taking into account such factors as humidity and soil conditions, said David Santucci, a TI director of product line strategy and education technology. “They are taking the science principles that they would have learned in their

class,” he said, “and then they’re learning about (using sensors) and things like that where you can get data about (such things as) is it bright out, is it light out, what is the humidity level, how dry is the soil, what is the soil moisture level, all those kind of things. They are taking those readings in and are writing a program to decide when is the best time (to turn on) the pump.” They’re also among the first to use the TI-Innovator Hub, which was designed to assist students by introducing them to coding and engineering details they’ll be dealing with, should they pursue a career in related field. The product can be used with graphing calculators currently employed by many middle and high school students. That’s what being done during these after-school sessions, which are expected to last a few more weeks, as participants are using the calculators, the hub along with some batteries, to simulate the pumping of water; they are transferring the liquid from one bottle to another. Students work in pairs, and are assisted by computer science graduate students from the University of Texas–

Sachse senior Nelson Flores works on the battery setup for his water pumping project during the after-school session at the high school. Dallas. “They each are going to write their own software, but they are sharing an innovator and the pumps,” Santucci said. “They are each going to build their own solution.” This pilot program not only applies to what students learn in science and math, but in other courses as well, including some art, history and geography. “Our goal was to help students understand that somebody can be a math person, but they also need to work

closely with other subject areas in order to create something more meaningful,” said Dr. Jasna Aliefendic, a technology applications coordinator with the GISD. Besides applying their classroom learning, participating students also must create a plan for what they’re doing, she said, and track their work in a journal. “They really need to keep a good track of previous assignments and planning,” Aliefendic said.

When will the Garland ISD natatorium be built? At this moment, it now appears that the multi-million dollar structure, which is part of the 2014 bond package, will have a new starting date. Garland ISD board members voted 4-3 during an Oct. 31 special session to push construction — it was originally scheduled to be a Phase 1 project but had been relegated to Phase 4 (final) — into the end of Phase 3. At the same time, they also approved moving up projects from Phases 3 and 4. Their decision means the current project bid expired — that took place Tuesday — and that new bids must go out, said Mida Milligan, the GISD’s executive director for communications and public relations. The facility is scheduled to be erected across the George Bush Turnpike from Naaman Forest High School and the new Career See OFFICIALS page 8A

Pirates, mermaids, zombies and more will dance across the stage this weekend when the Wylie Acting Group for Children present their fall musical “The Adventures of the Fearsome Pirate Frank”. Directed by Del Thatcher, the show tells the story of Frank, an Elizabethan actor with a good work ethic, a big heart and a horrible memory. “This comedic musical follows Pirate Frank as he and his castmates are kidnapped by a real pirate - Cap’n Frank,” Thatcher said. “Out on the open sea he makes new friends and discovers he has a calling after all and it’s not acting. In the midst of their adventures, real Cap’n Frank has her own challenges, and makes a discovery of life changing proportions too.” Performances are held at the Wag for Children theatre located at 205 Industrial Court in Wylie. Performance dates are Friday, Nov. 11 and 18 at 7 p.m. and Nov. 12 and 19 at 2 and 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at wagforchildren.org or at the door. “Pirates, zombies, superheroes, mermaids, singing and dancing...what else could you want in a night of entertainment,” Thatcher said. “It’s just such a fun story. Every patron is guaran-

teed to laugh and enjoy themselves.” The cast of “The Fearsome Pirate Frank” include Piper Sturgeon, Narrator 1; Ava McDaniel, Narrator 2; Rebekah Thornburg, Treasure Chest Pirate 1/ Zombie; Evie Bannis, Treasure Chest Pirate 2/ Zombie; Mag- The pirates of ‘The Fearsome Pirate gie Whitney Treasure Frank’ include Savannah Harrod, Chest Pirate 3/ Zom- left, who has a little jostle with Cap’n bie; Colton Smith, Pi- Frank, played by Jayci James. rate Actor/ Zombie; Sammy Flanagan, Pirate Actor/ Zombie; Samuel Snell, Pirate Actor/ Shipp, Old Tilly Tar; Brigham Zombie; Alexandra Rios, Fan- Miller, Cap’n Ben Davies; Caleb girl/Little Nell; Jojo Roberts, Hargrove, Vita Lu Pirate/ ExecuFangirl/ Hillary Hook; Elise tioner; Silas Hotopp, Nightmare Hotopp, Fangirl/ Villager; Lelia Sailor/ Zombie; Chris Whitney, Rose Bagdasarian, Fangirl/ Vil- Hangman; Tyler Harbison, Grim lager; Victoria Holman, Fangirl/ Reaper; Ainsley James, Water Villager; Evelynn Irwin, Fangirl/ Dancer/ Wonder Woman; Aubrey Zombie; Jacob Sanders, Pirate Delaney, Water Dancer; Ella BarFrank; Tabitha Allen, Director/ ton, Water Dancer; Elliya Bannis, Zombie/ Nightmare Sailor; Sybil Water Dancer; Brianna Kincaid, Slechta, Esmerelda; Matthew Siren 1; Madyson Coleman, SiCox, Mr. Smee/ Vita Lu Pirate; ren 2; Avery Barnes, Siren 3 and Justin Coleman, Villager/ Night- Maggie Smith, Albatross. mare Sailor; Zoe Summons, VilThe crew includes Ainsley lager/ Zombie; Noah Hotopp, James, Aubrey Delaney, CharSpiderman/ Vita Lu Pirate; Riley lie Bagdasarian, Chloe Barnes, Irvin, Nascar Driver/ Vita Lu Pi- Chris Whitney, Claire McDanrate; Jayci James, Cap’n Frank; iel and Tyler Harbison.

Wylie High School choir takes tips from top From Staff Reports

education@csmediatexas.com Choir students at Wylie High School got the opportunity to get some top-notch training courtesy of world-renowned British vocal ensemble Voces8. The ensemble held music education workshops with the choirs at four area middle and high schools in Carrollton, Plano, Wylie, and Rowlett, and also with the Dallas Street Choir at The Stewpot. In the workshops, Voces8 warms up the choirs using the “Voces8 Method” – a blend of movements and vocalizing and

improvisation that is designed to be highly engaging. Each member spreads out in the room, taking a group of singers with them, and they will sing, move and improvise in a both an autonomous and teambuilding manner. Each choir then sings for Voces8, and the octet works with them on their musicality and phrasing. Voces8 also sings for the groups and takes questions at the end. St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Plano conducted the music education outreach on behalf of the church. The church invited the public to hear the group at special church services last weekend.

Wylie East NHS taps new members By Emily Koonce

WEHS Senior, NHS member and Yearbook Editor in Chief

Nearly 100 juniors and seniors walk through the halls of Wylie East with bronze medallions, slowly spinning on a horizontal axis, around their necks. These medals come from the school’s chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS), which recently tapped 78 new members during second period classes Oct. 28. That morning the organization’s officers—seniors TJ Partridge, Priya Varghese, Andrea Espino a, Jordan Chancellor and Hunter Nardiello—visited the classrooms of those who qualified, giving them an informational packet and spinning “Wylie East NHS” medal. “When the officers entered my class I was anxious,” junior Reilly Clark said. “I just wanted to hear my name. When I heard my name, all of my nerves washed away because I knew my hard work had paid off.” Selcted on the basis of scholarship, leadership, service and character, members had to complete a detailed application, which included a catalog of their service and extracurricular activities.

“The application process was really eye-opening, because I didn’t realize how many things I was involved in,” junior Kate Sheets said. With 78 students tapped for NHS, the total membership of the organization is 123 members, breaking the 100-member mark for the first time in the chapter’s history. “Seeing the organization grow and become more successful is really exciting, especially from the point of view of an officer,” treasurer Jordan Chancellor said. “This new group of inductees is very enthusiastic, and I’m pumped to see the atmosphere they’ll bring to the chapter.” The formal induction ceremony for new members will be in the auditorium, where students will invite a significant adult from age 5 until now as a special guest at 7 p.m. Nov. 7. “I’m looking forward to participating in more activities to help our school and community that NHS will be a part of,” senior Jocelyne Delgado said. NHS is an honor society across the country open to all juniors and seniors with a GPA of 4.5 or higher on the 6-point scale. Mrs. Amy May and Ms. Jessica Taylor sponsor the WEHS chapter of NHS.

Garland ISD celebrated Executive Director of Athletics Homer B. Johnson’s incredible 68-year career Oct. 28 with a celebration at the Curtis Culwell Center arena. The event featured memorabilia, selfie and polaroid stations, a tribute video, lifesi e cutouts of Johnson, and a themed food bar—complete with a cake replica of HBJ’s namesake. Senator Bob Hall, Garland, Rowlett and Sachse mayors and officials, as well as former players and coaches will be present. Attendees got to meet the legend and hear words

from former Dallas ISD Superintendent and Commissioner of Education Mike Moses, former Garland ISD Superintendent Curtis Culwell and Superintendent Bob Morrison. Johnson, a 1945 Garland High School graduate, became the youngest coach in Texas when he began his career at his alma mater. He served the Owls for 14 years, leading district, bi-district, regional and even state championship baseball and football teams. Under his watch, GISD built two athletic stadiums, including one renamed in his honor in 1978.

later by steam engine fueled by wood and coal. Wagons transported cotton to the gin where the wagon was weighed and cotton extracted from the wagon through a tube and then brought to a burr machine. Next, it was sent to separators that removed the seeds from the fiber. The seeds were either used for pressing oil or for planting. Cotton fibers were sent to be pressed into 500-pound bales. Empty wagons were again weighed to calculate the exact amount of ginned cotton. The gin owner charged the farmer for every 100 pound weight of cotton for his service. Cotton bales were moved to the train depot and transported to markets. After World War II, farmers began to move to cities to work and cotton production declined. The gin in Parker fell silent. Today all that remains of the Parker Gin is part of the original foundation.

Portraits added to Fallen Warrior Project

From Staff Reports

news@csmediatexas.com Seven new portraits of fallen soldiers were added Monday morning, Nov. 7, to a permanent display in the Collin County Courthouse in McKinney. The ceremony for the Collin County Fallen Warrior Project was held by county commissioners. Objective of the project is to honor the 365 veterans included on the Wall of Honor at the Collin County Veterans Memorial Park by permanently displaying their portraits inside the courthouse. The portraits and biographies of each of the men have been provided by Colin Kimball, a McKinney artist, United States Air Force veteran and founder of the Hall of Heroes project. Added to the display are portraits of Lt. JG Weldon “Stokes” Stallcup of Celina, T/ Sgt. Herman Tyner of Farmersville, Pvt. Robert “Pete” Cuff-

man of Plano, T/Sgt. Joe Holley of McKinney, S/Sgt. Bobby G. Harris, Senior Airman Matthew Courtois of Lucas and Sgt. Michael Luke Boatright of Frisco. Robert Cuffman served in a Tank Destroyer Battalion: unique units that were created in WWII that were attached to Infantry Regiments. Records are lacking on revealing which specific Battalion he was assigned to, however, we do know that when he was killed in action during the opening phase of the Battle of The Bulge, he was attached to the 104th Infantry Regiment of the 26th Infantry Division (known as the Yankee Division). The 104th Infantry Regiment is one of the oldest in the Army and traces its lineage to the 1600s from its initial formation in the French and Indian Wars. Robert was killed in Luxembourg on December 26, 1944 and is buried in Allen Cemetery. Matthew Courtois was an

Eagle Scout. No small task to accomplish by any stretch of the imagination. He served with the 366th Security Forces Squadron, based at Mountain Home AFB in Idaho and served a tour of duty in Iraq. He married in June 2009 and shortly thereafter, he deployed to Kuwait. A week shy of his three month wedding anniversary, he died as a result of a non-combat incident in September 2009. Herman Tyner served with B Battery of the 453rd AnitiAircraft Battalion that was attached to the 83rd Infantry Division. He landed on Utah Beach in Normandy a week after the invasion and marched across France and Germany. His battalion was credited with downing 94 enemy aircraft during their service in WWII. Herman was killed in action on April 8, 1945 in Germany and is buried in the American War Cemetery in Margraten, Netherlands.

There will be a historical marker dedication for the Old Parker Gin at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15 at Parker City Hall. The Collin County Historical Society, in conjunction with the Murphy Historical Society, will present the marker. William C. Parker, namesake of the community, was farmer and successful businessman who owned a gristmill and a cotton gin. The growth of Parker increased from 1840-1860, and although citizens were mostly farmers, the majority of farms were small and there was little incentive for farmers to plant cotton due to a lack of transportation to take the crop to market. The railroad in the late 1880s changed all that. Cotton gins were the major industry tied to the farming community in the county. The cotton gin was first operated by mule power and

Other companies utilize sponsored volunteer activities. For instance, PCL Construction organi es Habitat for Humanity homebuilding events where workers apply their trade skills to serve their communities. Such projects give employees time to bond with co-workers. These programs boost morale -- and attract and retain talented employees. The Stanford Graduate School of Business found that 97 percent of business school graduates are willing to make less to work for a more socially and ethically responsible company. Other firms improve culture through recognition programs that showcase their value. That’s crucial, because employees who don’t feel appreciated are twice as likely to quit within a year, according to Gallup. Namely, an HR software company, convenes monthly staff meetings to praise high performers. This is a savvy

strategy. Polling shows that one in four workers’ most memorable recognition comes from high-level executives. Employers can also create a great culture by showing employees they have careers -- not just jobs. One way to do that is to clarify avenues for advancement. At I Furniture, which I head up, we partner with Northeast Wisconsin Technical College to sponsor a Management Training program for employees with high potential. Investing in their professional development shows them we care about their long-term success and helps us mold workers into the company’s future leaders. Businesses can employ many strategies to create a great company culture -- but no shortcuts. If executives don’t “get the memo,” they’ll continue to miss opportunities to create a culture that propels productivity and generates loyalty.

More travelers seeking terrorism coverage By Lynne Peters Cancel for any reason coverage explained: The most reliable way to be covered for terrorism is to purchase your plan as early as possible and invest in a plan that includes Cancel for Any Reason coverage. This coverage has several eligibility requirements, including a time-sensitive purchase window after you have made your initial trip payment. It should be noted that Cancel for Any Reason benefits typically allow you to cancel your trip up to two days prior to the scheduled departure date, and in most cases, reimburse up to 75 of your pre-paid, non-refundable trip cost. Cancel for Any Reason coverage could be vital if traveling to an area of the world that is prone to civil disorder or terrorism. Due to the commonality of incidents, any event would most likely be seen as a “known peril”, thus voiding coverage for standard trip cancellation. Also, Cancel for Any Reason coverage would allow you to cancel a trip due to terrorism if you purchased your plan after a terrorism travel alert or warning has been issued by the U.S. government. Any plan purchased after a travel alert or warning is issued would not cover terrorism as a reason for trip cancellation. How terrorism coverage works under most comprehensive travel insurance plans: Most comprehensive travel insurance plans include, in their coverage for trip cancellation and interruption, some mention of coverage for terrorist acts. With this coverage, you would theoretically be able to cancel or interrupt your travel plans if an act of terrorism occurred in your destination city within a certain number of days of your scheduled arrival. This time frame varies by plan and provider, but in general, can be anywhere from 7 to 30 days. Ho terrorism is defined

While the definition may vary depending on which plan and provider you’ve chosen, there are two basic ways that travel insurance companies define “terrorist acts.” In any case, travelers should understand that even if there is some kind of violent, frightening civil discord occurring in a country to which they are scheduled to travel, it may not be covered under their travel insurance plan’s definition of “terrorism.” The United States government must declare the situation in question to have been an act of terrorism. A clear distinction must be made between terrorism and “civil disorder or riot”, and usually stipulates that the incident must not have been an act of war, whether declared or undeclared. Terrorism coverage restrictions: In order to be eligible for coverage against terrorist acts, you will likely have to meet some expectations on the part of the travel insurance company as far as dates and geography are concerned. For example, your travel insurance policy will likely state that coverage only extends to terrorist acts that have occurred within a certain number of days of your scheduled departure, so make sure to read your plan details carefully. Also, if a terrorist act has occurred in your destination city prior to your purchase of a travel insurance policy, it will likely be considered a “known peril” – which would mean that you would not be eligible for coverage if you chose to cancel your trip as a result of that terrorist incident (unless you are eligible for Cancel for Any Reason coverage). Lastly, depending upon the plan you’ve purchased, you’ll need to be familiar with whether the coverage applies only to a city that is specifically on your itinerary, or whether it also extends to outlying regions or to the country as a whole.

John Cornyn and state sales tax revenue totaled Ted Cruz, both R-Texas, and $2.29 billion in October, 0.2

percent more than the amount reported in October 2015. “Opposing trends in consumer and business spending resulted in slight overall growth in state sales tax revenue,” Hegar said. He added that continued declines in collections from the mining, manufacturing and wholesale trade sectors, reflecting the subdued level of drilling for oil and natural gas production, were offset by significant gains from retail trade and restaurants. Total sales tax revenue for the three months ending in October 2016 was down by 2.1 percent compared to the same period a year ago, Hegar said. Sales tax revenue is the largest source of state funding for the state budget, accounting for 58 percent of all tax collections. Motor vehicle sales and rental taxes, motor fuel taxes and oil and natural gas production taxes also are large revenue sources for the state, according to the comptroller’s office.

Straus lauds TEA decision Texas House Speaker Joe Straus on Nov. 2 welcomed the Texas Education Agency’s announcement last week that it is halting the use of one indicator in a special education monitoring system. Concerns had been raised that the 12-year-old indicator, which was designed to ensure that schools did not put students into special education when it

wasn’t warranted, had actually been used by some school districts to keep students out of special education, according to the speaker’s office. In late October, Straus urged Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath to suspend use of the indicator so that the education agency and legislators could work together in the 2017 legislative session to make sure students get the services they need. “This is good news for Texas families,” Straus said in a news release. “TEA’s decision will give the agency time to work with legislators and others to make sure students get the services they need.” Performance data posted Texas Education Commissioner Morath on Nov. 3 announced the availability of preliminary 2015–2016 Texas Academic Performance Reports on tea.texas.gov, the Texas Education Agency website. The reports, Morath said, provide a wide range of performance information for every public school and district in the state. The campus-level, district-level, regional and statewide reports combine details of academic performance with information about staff, programs and demographics. The final version, following the resolution of district appeals of preliminary ratings, is scheduled for release by Dec. 2.

Technical Education Facility (CTE), which is already under construction. Prior to approving the natatorium’s move to Phase 3, board members voted down a motion 4-3 that would have initiated construction in Phase 1 of the bond program, most of which will be completed next year. Phase 3 projects begin in 2018, with some ending in 2019. Had the natatorium remained in Phase 4, construction likely would not have started until 2019. Councilmember Larry Glick proposed the approved motion after expressing concern that the current construction ($27.5 million) and total costs (around $32.3 million) to do a Phase 1 construction were more than what had been projected in the original bond package. “There are no other proj-

ects in this bond that are 61.5 percent over budget,” Glick said. Also, when the bond was approved, the two biggest priorities were safety and the condition of current buildings, he said, with the natatorium not having a high urgency. Fellow board member Rick Lambert said the $27.5 million in construction cost was not a “substantial overage” above the original estimate of about $20 million, adding that it “made no sense” not to move forward. “We need to move forward and not waste money and time,” Lambert said. Dr. Bob Morrison, the school district’s superintendent, echoed those concerns. “By delaying it you would be 100 percent over budget if you went with the current design,” he said. Also, the superintendent added that another reason for

the natatorium was to provide a place where GISD students could learn how to swim, and that delaying the project defeated such a purpose. Prior to the vote, board members heard from project director Herschel Acosta, who noted that a scaled-down version of the natatorium also has been drawn up. In addition, he noted, officials looked at other areas to build the natatorium, including next to Homer B. Johnson Stadium, which already provides parking. Talks with Garland city officials must take place to discuss other costs, Acosta noted. That also would be necessary if the GISD went with a smaller natatorium, which has a total cost of about $23.7 million, $20.1 million would be for construction in Phase 1. Acosta said the total cost would be around $32 million if the smaller facility was delayed until Phase 4.

history of loyal dedicated service and sacrifice that has been provided by the men and woman of the United States military. “The collection is maintained as a 501c3 Texas nonprofit museum collection. It is open to the general public and hosts a growing number of veteran, school, youth, civic and other groups, “ he said. The curator said the collection is presented in a way that does justice to the artifacts. “Long term preservation of the collection is important to us as custodians of the artifacts and we have active ongoing preservation and restoration plans for everything from uniforms to armored vehicles,” Witham reported. The museum stages a number of unique events during the year, and as part of an outreach program, they provide military vehicles and artifacts for display at events all over the North Texas area. “There are so many touching

and poignant stories that we can share,” he said. “We have many, many letters from the military that were sent out to notify next of kin of the death or capture of a loved one. Oftentimes those letters never made it to their destination in a timely fashion or at all. The families had to read it in a newspaper which was like trying to find a pork chop in a Synagogue.” Closing ceremonies included a 21-gun salute executed by members of the 36th Infantry of the 9th Texas Infantry divisions. Taps was played on a 75-year-old bugle on loan from the military collection. Witham explained the significance of the instrument. “A number of years ago, the North Texas Military Heritage Collection received this bugle with a loose attribution,” he said. “During the restoration process, information came to light that allowed the museum to confirm the story and assign a formal attribution.” He said the bugle was at Pearl Harbor and used by Marine Corps

Musician, A. S. Miske, who at the time was assigned to the Battleship Division. The attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 will remain a pivotal defining point in American history. Many artifacts exist from the attack; however that bugle seems to have a special significance because it was sounded during the attack. “The owner’s initials were scratched into the bugle surface in an inconspicuous location and only found during the cleaning process,” he said. “A large numeral 7 was also found during this process.” Larry Quave of Bugles Across America played taps using the antique bugle. He said the instrument was in “mint condition.” After the formal ceremony, Mathis reported to the audience that Sachse Historical Society’s application for The Traveling Memorial Wall was approved. While they are still in the process of finali ing plans, it is slated to be on display at the municipal complex during Memorial Day weekend 2017.

Defense key to successful season for Mustangs By Greg Ford Sports Editor

gford@csmediatexas.com SACHSE — Head coach Dwight Williams’ view of “district’ competition never wavers. “Our district is always tough,” the Sachse leader said. “All the teams are basically the same. We all have athletic guys. None of the team have much height, so defense is going to win our

league again.” That “league” is District 10-6A, which consists of the seven Garland ISD schools, and which, at least for Sachse, does not begin until Dec. 20 at Garland. Prior to that, the Mustangs have scheduled a slew of non-district games and tournaments, with things tipping off this Friday at North Mesquite. They’ll host Plano on Monday, Nov. 14. “(Non-district) will be to see how

deep we can go (on the roster),” Williams said. “Right now, we look to be about seven (players) deep, and that’s a good number. However, if you get somebody hurt, we’re going to need more numbers.” Junior Miles Macadory returns for the Mustangs, as do seniors Zamarco Haynes, Derrick Reed and Kam’ron Matthewson. Defensively, Williams doesn’t anticipate his team having the athleticism

to go man-to-man for an entire game, which means Sachse will employ a zone defense. “We’ll have to slow it down, pack it in and make teams beat us from the outside,” the coach said. Offensively, Williams believes Sachse can “do a lot,” especially when Macadory has the ball. “He is the guy who we can run our offense through, and he can make plays for other guys,” the coach said.

Youthful Sachse team did well, offers more promise By Greg Ford Sports Editor

gford@csmediatexas.com SACHSE — The Lady Mustangs’ season came to an abrupt end with a tough 22-25, 22-25, 11-25 loss to Rockwall last Friday in area-round action at Rowlett. However, even that defeat couldn’t put much of a damper on what turned out to be another solid season for Sachse. “It really has been a good year, and these kids are so young,” head coach Rikki Jones said. “We still had some seniors in important positions, but (overall) it is young team. We’ve progressed, and I think we met our goals.” The Lady Mustangs shared the District 10-6A crown with Rowlett, with each team splitting their series and finish 11-1 in divisional play. Sachse got the No. 1 seed via a coin flip, and then proceeded to sweep J.J, Pearce in a Nov. 1 bi-district match at Wylie. The squad that took the floor that evening consisted of five seniors, with the remaining 11 being juniors or below: four varsity players were freshmen. “They have done a really good job,” Jones said of her team. “They’ve been enjoyable and they’ve worked really hard. I think they did what was asked of them.” The Rockwall loss was hard to “deal with,” the coach noted, because the teams did not play as well as it had in previous matches. That included three

Nic Ale ander ies a a rom a ould- e tac ler during the ustangs 57-0 in last rida over South Garland at Homer B. Johnson Stadium. The win clinched the District 10-6A crown for the Mustangs, and sets up a bi-district date 7 p.m. this Friday against Skyline at Williams Stadium.

Sachse goes 10-0, wins district, hosts Skyline in playoff opener By Greg Ford Sports Editor

gford@csmediatexas.com The Mustangs met two goals this season; win their non-district schedule and then capture the District 10-6A title. They accomplished both, and in the process, the blue and white staked itself to a 10-0 record. Now, the next goal, according to head coach Mark Behrens, is to reach the Class 6A, Div. I championship game.

The road to that begins 7 p.m. Friday versus Skyline in a Region II bi-district contest at Williams Stadium, with the winner facing The WoodlandsMesquite Horn victor in arearound competition. Sachse got the chance to host a first-round game by throttling South Garland 57-0 in the Nov. 4 regular-season finale at Homer B. Johnson Stadium. That win also gave Sachse the outright District 10-6A crown. In Skyline, the Mustangs

face a team that finished 5-5 overall, third in District 9-6A and one that closed out the regular season by dumping J.J. Pearce 38-20. “They’re going to be an athletic club,” Behrens said. “They are going to spread you out. They are similar to Lakeview (Centennial) in that respect. We feel like we have faced teams like that before, so we feel like that is we do everything right, we should be OK.” Sachse has done “everything

right,” or at least have been close, during the entire 10-6A campaign, one in which they finished 6-0. Not only did the Mustangs put points on board, they also did a tremendous job of keeping the opposition off it; 106A foes combined for just 31 points in those six games. Against South Garland, the blue and white pounded out 343 yards rushing, with seven See COLE page 4B

different Mustangs touching the ball. Christian Cole led the way with eight carries for 88 yards and two touchdowns. Trent Dean also had two attempts for 50 yards and one touchdown, with Kelon Wilson, wide receiver Nate Shelton, as well as quarterbacks Jalen Mayden and Alex Williams each crossing the goal line once. Mayden also was 10-for-15 passing for 106 yards, while Williams was 5-for-5 for 28 yards. Defensively, secondary member Nicholas Alexander had two solo tackles and a pass break up, while lineman Tyler Lacey recorded two tackles for losses, one for a safety. Colby DeLoach, a defensive back, had six solo tackles, while fellow cover man Chris Washington had one tackle and an interception. A primary reason for Sachse defensive success has been depth along the front line, where Behrens and his staff have been able to rotate players, keeping them fresh and wearing down opposing lines at the same time. That strategy will be needed

Friday, when the Mustangs go toe-to-toe with a big Raider offensive line. “We feel pretty comfortable going into this thing,” Behrens said. “I know that it’s going to be a battle. We’re not looking ahead, I can promise you that.”

I’m really proud of the progress and how they performed and competed this year.” The Rockwall loss, the coach added, can be a learning experience, especially what is needed physically and mentally to win in the postseason.

Sailor captured Russians, picked up space capsules Wylie man recalls experiences aboard the USS Kearsarge

By Joe Reavis Staff Writer

news@csmediatexas.com Serving during some of the tensest years of the Cold War, Wylie resident Cecil Forrester logged some unique experiences as a sonar operator aboard the USS Kearsarge from 1959-65. During his time aboard the Kearsarge, the crew captured four Russian sailors and picked

up two United States space capsules that splashed down in the South China Sea. “We just took care of what came up,” Forrester said. A native of Pennsylvania, the former sailor was inducted into the U.S. Navy on July 4, 1959, as a group of 200 from the area that was nicknamed the Distelfink Battalion after a Dutch folk art design of a styli ed goldfinch used as a good

luck sign. The 200 made up two companies and went through boot camp together before splitting up for specialized training. Forrester was assigned to HS6, a helicopter squadron based near San Diego, Calif., and the Kearsarge as a sonar operator. The Kearsarge was commissioned in 1946 as an aircraft carrier and in 1958 was fitted out as an antisubmarine warfare support carrier, sailing with

Since 1919, military veterans have been honored for their service with Veterans Day, a holiday that has remained true to its roots over almost a century. The observance recognizes living veterans who served their

the Seventh Fleet in Southeast Asian waters. During a deployment in 1960, the ship happened upon a powerless Russian ship adrift in the South China Sea. Four sailors aboard the Russian vessel were taken captive and transported to California. Once on land, the Russian sailors were taken on a tour of the West Coast, including a visit to Disneyland, as a show of good will before being sent home. The incident was written up in a national magazine and in a naval magazine. Some time after the Russian sailors were returned home, Forrester says a package arrived that contained several cameras and a note from the Russians thanking the Americans for their hospitality and requesting any pictures of U.S. military installations. Forrester said a U.S. chief petty officer that spoke Russian read the note and told the sailors, “You guys can have the cameras, but you ain’t sending no pictures anywhere.” The former sailor also recalled that they once chased a Russian submarine from California to Sitka, Alas., ending the chase when the submarine turned west toward home. On the Kearsarge’s return to California, the ship ran into a storm that lasted three days and was so severe that crew members were ordered to strap themselves into their bunks. In 1962, the Kearsarge plucked the space capsule of U.S. Astronaut Wally Schirra

Four Russian soldiers adrift in a small boat for 49 days were rescued at 11 P.M. (EST) Sunday night 3 March 6, 1960, by the Navy aircraft carrier USS Kearsarge about 1,000 miles west-northwest of Midway Island. All four were exhausted and emaciated but reportedly in good spirits and coherent when they were brought aboard the Kearsarge by helicopter from their stormtossed 50-foot landing craft, a Soviet version of the Navy’s LCM (Landing Craft Mechanized). The soldiers had been at the mercy of the seas since the night of January 17 when their boat became crippled in a severe storm off Etorofuto Island in the Kuriles, just north of the Japanese island of Hokkaido. It is estimated they had drifted about 1,020 miles. The Russians gave their names as: Master Sergeant Victor Zygonschi, 21; Private Anthony Kruchowske, 22; Private Philip Poplavski, 20; and Private Fredor Ivan, 20. They had only three cans of jerky beef and one loaf of bread throughout their 49day ordeal. The only water they had was gathered from rainfall. Each man had lost from 35 to 40 pounds and were described as “emaciated and malnourished” by the medical officer aboard the Kearsarge. Captain Robert L. Townsend, USN, the carrier’s Commanding Officer, reported by message to Pa-

from the ocean after it splashed down. Schirra was one of the original seven Mercury astronauts and is the only astronaut to fly in the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs. “That bugger came down about 1,000 feet in front of us,” Forrester recalls. “We thought we were going to run over it.” A year later, the ship recovered the capsule of U.S. Astronaut Gordon Cooper after he piloted the longest and fi-

cific Fleet headquarters at Pear] Harbor that the drifting boat was sighted by a lookout in fading twilight. As the carrier approached the boat the four occupants, wearing green uniforms with red stars on their caps, were huddled on the raised after deck. The well deck was flooded with from two to three feet of water. The soldiers were picked up by rescue gear of the helicopter and brought to the Kearsarge. They were immediately taken to the Ship’s sick bay for treatment. None of the soldiers spoke English. Using broken Russian, members of the ship’s crew learned their identity and a brief account of their fight against the sea. They learned that three times the soldiers had sighted ships in the distance but their small craft apparently had not been seen in the deep troughs of the waves and all the ships passed over the horizon. The Russians had no means of communication. At the time of their rescue the soldiers had no food or water left. Although weak and exhausted, their spirits were apparently revived by the rescue. All were able to walk when they were brought to the Kearsarge and all tried willingly to make themselves understood in their native language. After emergency treatment, the men were soon asleep in their sick bay bunks. They will be kept under medical care until the Kearsarge docks at San Francisco about March 15. The aircraft carrier was proceeding direct to the west coast, having left Yokosuka, Japan, on March 3. The State Department notified the Russian Embassy in Washington, D.C., of the rescue Monday evening, March 7.

He is the father of three sons; Chris and Michael live in Pennsylvania and Stephen lives in Burkburnett. Stephen is an air force veteran who served with the 555th Fighter Squadron and was deployed to Bosnia.

and became a national holiday in 1938. In 1954, the name was changed to Veterans Day to also recognize veterans of World War II and the Korean War. The holiday was moved to the fourth Monday in October

Did you know?

Etiquette regarding gratuities varies across the globe, and tipping may not be required in certain parts of the world. In fact, according to the travel resource ShermansTravel, tipping actually may be deemed offensive in some areas of the world. In various countries, travelers may not be required to tip. Countries

in which gratuities are unnecessary include Australia, Belgium, China, France, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, and Vietnam. Travelers who want to avoid offending local workers can refer to travel guides before visiting foreign countries to determine whether tipping is de rigueur or unexpected.

Pet of the Week Trixie Trixie was surrendered to the local shelter when her family could no longer care for her. After some time there, poor Trixie became so depressed that she stayed in the back of her dog run and would no longer engage with the staff. A wonderful LHS foster heard her story and took Trixie into the foster program where she has been patiently waiting for her new home for over a year. Trixie is about 7-8 yrs old and weighs 12 lbs. She is also crate trained and house trained but is such a little lady she is allowed to roam free in the house while her foster family is away. She does great with the resident doggies and would likely do well with cats. Given her small size, she would do best in a home with older, considerate kids. She is spayed,

HW negative, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. Trixie is such a special girl and has been in our program for A YEAR without a single application. How can that be?!
