Lopes learning on the road

By Scott Luce Abernathy went down in

the first round last year to the same team they defeated in the Lopes' first round this year. AHS (25-6) beat Wichita Falls City View (21-8), 55-49, last Friday in Abilene.

Four days later in Little­field, the Lopes weathered Floydada's attack in a Region I quarterfinal 68-54 win. The Whirlwinds (23-7) arrived with a lot of confidence after defeating the defending state champion Shallowater Mus­tangs, 50-49.

"They're a good, qua lity team," AHS coach Wayne Ri­ley said about Floydada. "We had a good start. In the second half they got within six. That was a loud, tough atmo­sphere."

His coaching record im­proved to 185-75.

Abernathy led wire-to-wire and built a 16-point lead, 36-20, on T.J. Paden's bucket with :28 left in the first half. Craig Cooper's trey at 7:18 in the first started scoring and Paden's 3 with :10 left in the first frame ended scoring.

Floydada picked it up in the second while the Lopes cruised along.

The Winds were able to close the gap in the third frame thanks in part to Abernathy's 4'point total from 0-5 shoot­ing at the line and a five­minute scoring drought.

"When they got close, our guys did the things they had to do to allow them to win the game. They didn't panic and kept their poise," Riley said. "In the second half, Floydada executed better on offense. Our bench came in and did a good job "

The situation becam~ tenu­ous in the fourth. Abernathy's big men, Reese Myatt at 5:54 and Stanton Royal at 2:54, both fouled out.

On the other side, Luke Miller heated up and brought the Winds to within 7 twice (48-41 and 59-52) and 6 (50-44). His supporting cast also began fouling out and he fin­ished with a game-high 25.

Tate Riley led AHS 'with 16 points. Royalscol'ed 15; Paden, 12; Cooper, 10; Myatt 9; and

Teachers await trustee decisions on salaries Teachers'localincreunent cuts never reinstated

The Abernathy school board moved their regular meeting to Monday and teach­ers will be wondering what trustees will do this year.

It is time for the board to review teacher contracts.

For the 2003-2004 school yeaI', the board cut the local increment, extra money the district adds to teacher sala­ries, to cover state-mandated teacher salary increases. As an example, if a teacher was receiving the maximum $4,000 local increment and the state mandated an $800 in­crease based on experience, trustees cut the increment $800 to $3,200.

Last year, the board voted not to cut the local increment but instead of reinstating the $4,000 increment, trustees left the local increment, as used in the example, at $3,200.

Six of seven trustees voted last month for increases and contract extensions to admin­istrators.

Curriculum director Robin Youngblood's 10-month con­tract was extended and her $44,300 salary was increased by $2,000. Athletic director TonyTruelove's 11-monthcon­tract was extended and his $54,164 salary also was upped by $2,000.

All th~ee principals 're­ceived $2,500 increases. High school principal Gary Pugh a nd elementary p.rincipal

Shawn Bearden had 12-month contracts. Pugh's increase was added to $61,697 and Bearden's was tacked onto $53,500. Middle school princi­pal Harold Bufe has an 11-month contract and his salary was $57,680.

Trustee Larry Bryant voted against the motion. Superin­tendent Herb Youngblood said Bryant was for contract ex­tensions but against salary increases. (A telephone call to Bryant was not returned by presstime Wednesday night.)

be on their way to another whipping of Abernathy early in the first quarter. Capitaliz­ingon a Lope turnover, WFCV jumped to a 9-2 lead at 6:00 when coach Riley called timeout.

Cooper made it 26-24 at 7:09 in the third but the Mus­tangs answered 30 seconds later. Royal scored the next four baskets, giving the Lopes the biggest lead, 34-26, by ei­ther team. Cooper put back a rebound at 3:27 for a 9-point 37-28 advantage that evapo­rated as quickly as it appeared. City View finished the period on a 7-2 run.

The Mustangs stayed close and only trailed by 2, 41-39, at 4: 15. Royal and Paden scored consecutive buckets which were answered by Mustang point guard Junior McGee at 1:55.

From there, Abernathy shot nothing but free throws. The Lopes hit 10 of 15 in the last 1:13 and 12 of 24 overall.

High blood pressure and the benefits of exercise

By Debra Pugh Just because a person has

been diagnosed with high blood pressure does not mean that they can not lead an ac­tive lifestyle. In fact, most physicians today encourage their patients with moder­ately high blood pressure to exercise because of the many physical and psychological benefits. Many studies have shown that exercise can lower a person's blood pressure.

for heart disease. They also explain that having high blood pressure increases the risk of a heart attack or stroke, espe­cially in combinations with "ther risk factors for heart disease, including smoking, hlgh cholesterol and lack of exercise.

Ea:ercisin, with hi,h blood pre •• ure

Studies show that if a per­son has hypertension, then exercise will actually lower the blood pressure. The American Council on Exercise explains, "Exercise improves blood pres­sure primarily by enhancing cardiovascular efficiency, low­ering body-fat weight, and re­ducing both the physical and emotional manifestations of stress." Examples of different types of exercise can include walking, riding a bicycle, swimming, climbing stairs, aerobics, light weight train­ing or most stationary exer­cise equipment. It is impor­tant for a person with high blood pressure to be seen by a doctor before they begin an

What is high blood pressure?

When the pressure of the blood on the walls of arteries is too high, a person will be diagnosed with hypertension or otherwise known as high blood pressure. Normal blood pressure is usually 120/80. The number on the bottom is called the diastolic and the number on the top is called the systolic. The American College of Sports Medicine identifies people with a sys­tolic blood pressure over 140 and a diastolic pressure over 90 as having increased risk

Working 'late' can boost SS retirement income

By Mary Jane Shanes .Social Security Manager

Plainview Are you nearing retirement

and wishing that you had saved a little more or that your Social Security check could be just a little bit larger?

I often talk with folks who have spent that last couple of decades focused on making mortgage and car payments, paying off orthodontist bills, putting the kids through col­lege and trying to squeeze in on occasional vacation. I also know other folks who have had to deal with unexpected job setbacks or medical bills.

For whatever reason, many people can find themselves just a few years from retire­ment age withouthavingdone a lot of retirement planning or saving. One option folks in this situation can consider is de­laying retirement for a couple of years.

Financial advisors would point out that the effect of delaying retirement on your finances could be substantial. And I would add that the same is true with Social Security. Waiting to retire for a year or two can increase your Social Security benefit in two ways.

First, your extra income usually will increase your av­erage earnings, and the higher your average earnings, the higher your Social Security benefit will be.

Second, people who delay retirement receive a special "delayed retirement credit".

This is a percentage increase that is added to your Social Security benefit. The percent­age varies depending on your date of birth. For example, if you were born after 1943, you would earn an eight percent credit for each year that you delay retiring beyond your normal retirement age.

Whatdoes this mean?Well, let's look at an example of an imaginary worker whom I'll call Jake. He was born in 1944 and is 61 years old this year. Jake's full retirement age is 66, but he could retire any­time after reaching age 62.

But, if Jake retired at 62, he would only get 75 percent of the full retirement benefit that he would be due at age 66. Ifhe worked until age 68, he would get 116 percent of his full benefit payment. In dollars and cents, this means that if Jake were due a $1,000 a month retirement check if he worked until age 66, he would get $750 at age 62, but $1,160 at age 68.

It's something to think about, especially with folks living longer lives. But here's an important point to remem­ber: If you decide to delay your retirement, be sure to sign up for Medicare at age 65. In some circumstances, medical insur­ance costs more if you delay applying for it.

You can find out more about delayed retirement credits by visiting Social Security's website:

Do you love dahlias? Learn how to grow your own

big-blossomed beauties with some inside tips from The O'd Farmer'sAlmanac Gardener s Companion All-Seasons Gar­den Guide.

Dirt on Dahlias Remember these tips as you

make your plans: • Dahlias prefer at least

half a day of sun, fertile soil with good drainage, and a bit of protection from the wind.

• Don't be in a hurry to plant; dahlias will struggle in cold soil. Plant them just after the tomatoes are put in. Ta­hiti Sunrise dahlia

* Avoid buying dahlia tubers that appear wrinkled or rotten. A little bit of green growth is a good sign.

* Don't break or cut indi­vidual dahlia tubers as you would potatoes. Plant them whole, with the growing points, or "eyes," facing up, about six to eight inches deep.

• There's no need to wa­ter the soil until the dahlia plants appear; overwatering

can cause tubers to rot. • For extra support, po­

, sition a sturdy stake in the planting hole when planting tall varieties . Large-flower dahlias may need extra atten­tion before or after rain, when open blooms tend to fill up with water or take a beating from the wind.

• Feed dahlias with a low nitrogen fertilizer, such as bonemeal or any 5-10-10 or 10-20-20, a month after they sprout. Too much nitrogen (represented by the first num­ber in the fonnula) results in big leaves and stalks, but not optimum flowering. Withhold fertilizer about a month be­fore the first fall frost to help the tubers keep better over the winter.

exercise program. Ea:erclle with caution

Pancake power

A person with high blood pressure might need more time to allow their body to acljust to the physical stress of an exercise program, so a longer warm-up period would be needed. Itis important that they exercise at a low to mod­erate intensity unless their doctor tells them otherwise. Weight training can also be done as long as it is lighter resistance and more repeti­tions per set. It is time to slow down and stop if they are more fatigued than normal, if they feel light-headed, confusion, nauseated, feel chest pain or turn pale 'in color. It is also important for the person to do a gradual cool-down after they exercise to reduce the stress on the body.

Members of the Abernathy Beautification Association held a pancake supper February 24 at the Abernathy EMS Building. Over $800 was macle with all the proceeds to go toward the Veterans Memorial Plaza. Helping at the supper, left to right, were Heilda Cannon, Victor Cavazos, Ruedell Hill, Jerry Don and Sandi Cheshire, Elizabeth Jenkins, Dorothy Adams, Teenie and Bob Burnett.

High blood pressure can be caused by several reasons and some might be complicated. We do not have control of OUl'

genetics, but we do have con­trol of our lifestyle. If you have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, try adding an exercise program to improve the quality of your life. We all need to be thankful for our health and not take it for granted. Colossians 3 : 1 7 states, "Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Fa­ther through Him,"

By Randall Iglehart ATPE State President Each district can choose any

week during the month (most choose a week that coincides with Texas Independence Day) to celebrate the successes of public education in Texas. This year our recognition of public education comes at a time when the Legislature is deep in debate about how to fund education and provide teachers with adequate re­sources. On a deeper level, they are also considering the focus and purpose of public education and its value.

Ifwe were talking business here, a company with 4.3 mil­lion employees garnering an approval rating of 98.7 per­cent, well let's just say the stock wouldn't be cheap.

Still, the Association of Texas Professional Educators, the largest educators' group in the state, would love to see 100 percent of all campuses at the academically acceptable level or higher. And we con­tinue to pursue that lofty goal by pushing an education plat­form that benefits every stu­dent in every classroom as well as educators.

Looking at the 2003 TAKS results, Texas public school students surpassed the re­quirements in all categories, the average student scoring 85 percent. The lowest av.er­age passing rate was that of the low income category - still, those students passed read­ing at a 78 percent clip.

To consider the task before the Legislature and to recog­nize the significant accom­plishments ofthe state's pub­lic school educators thus far, let's look at the numbers.

There are 4.3 million stu­dents in Texas. To really ab­sorb this, let's think about it this way: If students in Texas' public schools were their own country, that country's popu­lation would be greater than 114 of the 235 recognized coun­tries in the world. Its popula­tion would outsize the popula­tions of Ireland, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Costa Rica and many more.

The overwhelming size and scope of the system is impor­tant when you consider what is being accomplished in our public schools . According to the Texas Education Agency, approximately 98. 7 percent of all rated Texas school cam­puses were deemed academi-

During this month, we are reflecting on what has been accomplished and what lies ahead. And it seems we have even more accountability reo suits to examine. The Texas Education Agency has ,re­leased a final report on the Adequate Yearly Progress fed­eral benchmark.

This benchmarking system was created as part of the No Child Left Behind Act. It cal­culates school ratings based substantially on how specific populations of students per­form on the TAKS test.

For example, in order to meet the federal NCLB stan­dard, close to 50 percent of students in six categories must pass the reading portion of the exam. Those six catego· ries are African American, Hispanic, white, low income, special education and limited-

And finally, elementary schools must have an atten­dance rate of 90 percent to meet the federal standards. Again, Texas was well ahead of that requirement with a 95.6 percent elementary atten·

. dance rate. At a time when the value of

public education is being called into question at the Legisla­ture, let's take a step back and congratulate our schools and teachers for a job well done. We have outstanding teach· ers who are committed to their students and their profession. Our hope is that the members of the Legislature keep our past successes in mind as they make momentous decisions that will determine the future of public education in Texas.

After all, by national stan­dards, Texas schools are funded at a very average level, and still there is great suc­cess. Imagine what we could accomplish in Texas if the funding were above average.

THANK GOD fOR WHAT YOU HAVE BeFORE YOU ASK fOR

MOM There are many ways of saying our prayers, according to our faith and our personal style of doing things, and most of them are acceptable; as long as we are sincere and don't tum the prayer Into a "shopping list" of unnecessary material things. We should begin by thanking God for all the blessIngs He has already granted us, Including every day of our lives. Then we should pray fOIl the health and well-being of our loved ones and friends, for the sick and the bereaved, for the cure of disease, for world peace and harmony, and for freedom and friendly cooperation among all nations_ Beyond that, let us remember that Qod win grant only the requests that are

. rls:lht for us, because in His Infinite wfsdom He knows what is best, far better than we do.
