As always, with the exception of maybe a few incidents, when a high school team wins a district championship and goes beyond, in this case way beyond, that team usually corrals all the post­season honors. If this wouldn't of been the case for the 1986 . Marfa Lady Shorthorns volleyball splkers who with, wins at the regional tournament reached the state playoffs, some injustice would have definitely being written about in print.

Thus when the first team 5-2A all-district team was released it really wasn't much of a surprise that three girls of the record breaking Lady 'Horns were honored, plus one second team.

Named to the first team were seniors Anna Carrasco and in­stant offensive machines Krista Webb and Marsha Everett. Second team honors went to An­drea Campbell who was as con­sistent as they come.

Coach Jim Everett's troops not only reached their goal in 1986, but in doing so broke seven team records. In the record books.up at Marfa High are three Lady 'Horns who hid plenty to do with their state .reaching success. Junior Krista "Webb broke the most points in a season mark by 10 points, scoring 190 points to eclipse the previous record of 180. Webb also shines for the most points in a single contest,

scoring 21 points in a district game to break the old record of 18 by three points.

Senior Marsha Everett's brilliant play1 at the net all year also shows up strong in the new scales for excellence. Everett am­bushed the kills for a season mark by quite a bit , 28 to be more precise with a 176 total to

the previous register of 148 kills. The college potential Everett also laps the old mark of 43 blocks for a season shoveling 53 opponent shots back in their face.

All-around performer Anna Carrasco had her name placed most in the new rules, being en­shrined three times for her 1986 accomplishments. Carrasco had

dreary Tuesday evening, a journalist friend called me on the phone and asked if rd care to take in a high school bas­ketball game. Since neither he nor I were in the habit of attendaglttgh school events of any kind, his suggestion came as a bit of a surprise.

But he hinted mat this would not be Just any high school basketball game, and he was right

Playing guard for the Wilmer Hut-chins squad* WilmerHutchins is a sub­urb of Dallas) was a 5-foot, 4-inch phenomenon named Anthony "Spud" Webb. Webb, whose parents apparent­ly dropped him off.at this game by mistake, thinking it was an elementary school scrimmage, looked like he couldn't reach a shower stall faucet, much less a basketball rim.

But the Wilmer Hutchins fans knew better. During pro-game warm-ups, they began to chant" Spud... Spud..." when they spotted him. Suddenly, Spud had the ball, raced toward the basket, and... dunked it through the hoop.

Last month, of course, the Spud gain­ed fame by winning the slam-dunk con­test at the NBA All-Star weekend in Dallas. There were many of his friends and relatives in the audience, and they seemed confident he would capture the contest crown. Back when Spud was still in high school, my friend and I thought his dunking and/or leaping a-bility was amazing, but never for a mo-.

grown tremendously, up to the gargan­tuan proportions of 5-foot, 7-inches tall, and 130 pounds. He plays for the At­lanta Hawks, and, considering the ob­stacles he's overcome to make it in the NBA, it wouldn't be surprising if his next trip to the all-star game is as an all-star. SPORnMQ GOODS:

Carrasco also was very in­strumental in the 'Horns success, setting a. new mark in the digs mark with 65.

Started Berger, "Before I in­troduce our 1986 Marfa Shor­thorn football team I'd like to express my thanks to several people. First I'd like to thank our coaching staff (Richard Hibbitts, Scotty Lewis, Sebastian Cervan­tes and Frank Martinez) for their hard work and long hours spent. The people who took care of our filming, Jay Foster and Jim Everett. I'd also like to thank our school administrator, Supt. Carl Robinson, principals, Harold Steele and W.R. Plumbley, our school faculty along with our band, band director Terry David-' son, and our cheerleaders for their help. Also our Booster Gub and their president, Augustine Rojas, for all of their continued support throughout the year, and the many fans that followed us everywhere we played.

"And most of all I'd like to thank our football players and managers for all of their hard work and dedication towards a successful season.

"As everyone knows we didn't make the playoffs this year for the first time in 5 years. However, don't count them out for very long •— weMl be back —, iWgl^t^that l lV : - . "•J• nf!%

Families urged to use Christmas lights safely • _ * J S * f » B _ — • _ _ • _ _ _ _ • _ • • . * J » « _ _ • • _ . -MM. • _ A _ • • _ • * _ . In many families, using the

same Christmas tree decorations year after year is a tradition. When it comes to Christmas tree lights, however, this could be an unsafe practice, says home safety expert Dr. Peggy Owens.

"When you unpack stored tree lights take the time to check each set," she advises. "Inspect the bulbs to make sure they operate and jhen remove the plug from the socket and inspect the wires."

The Texas A&M University Agricultural Extension Service housing specialist suggests checking the string of lights from one end to the other, looking for cracked insulation or bare and broken wires, especially where the.wire enters a light socket.

"If you find cracked insulation

bare wires or cracked sockets, discard the lights, no matter how much you like them," Owens cautions. "They could be a fire hazard."

Also check the plug to make sure the connections are good. She says one way to tell without getting a shock is to plug the set into the add-on connector,, or a second set of lights and plug that set into the connector of the first set.

The housing specialist explains that all strings of lights are not the same. Lights may be wired in a series or in parallel circuits. If a bulb goes out on a series circuit, all the lights go off. In a two-wire parallel set, the remaining lights continue to burn when one bums out.

Border Patrol bits

If you have miniature Christ­mas tree lights on a parallel cir­cuit, replace any burned out lam­ps with a bulb of the proper voltage size. Although the other lamps will continue to work if you don't replace burned out bulb's, Owens says they will be subjected to increased electrical power, shortened life and could become a fire hazard in your home.

When you decorate your tree, don't connect more than 200 miniature lights, or more than 50 large lamps together through one string or cord, advises the specialist.

Large lamp sets should not be connected through miniature lamp sets and indoor lights shouldn't be used outdoors.

Use extension cords that are capable of transmitting the current to the lights without overloading the cord, triggering circuit breakers or blowing protective fuses.

Dreaming of 'lite Christmas' If you're dreaming of a "lite"

Christmas that won't require a New Year's resolution to lose

-unwanted pounds, nutritionists "with the Texas A&M University

Agricultural Extension Service have the following suggestions:

•Substitute ingredients to reduce fat and calories. Use low-fat dairy products and cut back

.on the sugar and fat in holiday cooking. Many recipes can be ad­justed without a noticeable dif­ference in taste.

•Change cooking methods to reduce fat. Start by staying away from fried foods. Steam, bake, boil or broil instead of frying. Use low-calorie, no-stick aerosols or no-stick pans that require no fat for cooking. If you're making gravy for a holiday feast, skim off the fat.

•Eat more fiber. Fiber will satisfy your appetite without ad­ding a lot of calories. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and cereals so you won't want to fill up on rich desserts and other high calorie dishes.

•Eat slowly and reduce the size of your portions. Since it takes about 20 minutes before your stomach will feel satisfied, take at least that much time to eat your first helping. Then, perhaps you

won't feel the need for seconds or thirds.

•Do some "calorie banking". If you anticipate a big splurge at one meal or party, save up some extra calories by eating nutritious, low-calorie meals for several days in advance. Then treat yourself to the special oc­casion without worrying about the extra calories.

The Extension nutritionists add that these practices are ap­propriate year-round and when

. coupled with regular exercise, can help you stay within a healthful weight range.

A circuit breaker or fuse which blows when you connect the lights is signaling something is electrically wrong, Owens em­phasizes. Don't use that string of lights until you know the extent of the problem and can correct it. If you're in doubt, throw the set away.

If you're buying new miniature Christmas tree lights, she suggests looking for certification on the package, such as an Un­derwriter's Laboratory or "UL" « label, that shows the set meets the J' performance specifications of an * independent testing laboratory. 2 These sets win have passed a series > of performance tests designed to*. < eliminate hazards. $

than a year of brain-"storming y d planning by local dtiaen groups throughout the

* stale ha* gone into laying the groun* t.dwork for educational programs • of the Texas Agricultural Exten-<sion Service during the next four years.

• That grassroots, through ad-tvisory groups called Extension •Program Councils in each of the state's 234 counties, has resulted

via identifying critical issues and 'mapping out a plan of action.

"More than 12,000 Texans •were involved in local citizen teams across the state to identify priority issues to be addressed during the remainder of the

c decade and into the *90s," points :out Dr. Zerk L. Carpenter, Ex­tension Service director. "Now that these issues'have been iden­tified, they will serve as the

gargets of our educational programs over the next four years and win enable us to use our resources as efficiently as

•possible." . r Twelve priority issues have been identified on a state basis •and are common to many of .those identified on a county or regional level, notes Carpenter.

0 These priority issues are the rifoUowing: agricultural diver­sification; marketing of

agricultural and natural resource products; agricultural profitability and competitiveness; rural-urban relationships; water quality and conservation; revitaiization of rural Texas; leadership development; economic development; strengthening Texas families; im­proving nutrition, diet and health; financial planning and management; and youth development.

"These state issues will provide the framework for developing educational programs," Carpen­ter points out. "However, our main thrusts will be to deal with issues identified on an individual county basis — issues which will be dealt with by our county Ex­tension agents in concert with their Extension Program Coun­cils. Our administrative and specialist staff will provide the resources and support necessary to carry out these educational ef­forts."

The Texas Agricultural Exten­sion Service provides informal educational programs in agriculture, natural resources, home economics, community development, and 4-H and youth development. These programs are made possible by cooperative funding from the U.S Depar­tment of Agriculture, the State of Texas and County Com­missioners Cdhrts.

have to do because of ills death? ANSWER: Yes. ^Vou should

notify a Social Security office of your husband's death. Any checks sent for him after the month of his death or any of his checks not cashed or deposited before death must be returned to Social Security. The amount of your own SSI check.will be ad­justed. QUESTION: Is there a real sup­plemental Medicare Insurance policy that will "fill all the gaps" thai Medicare does not pay?

ANSWER: Some policy ads data that Medicare would' not pay frightening sums such as $18,942 for a certain fictitious patient hospitalized for ISO days. These policy ads say they will pay $123 per day for every hospital day — from days 61 to 90 (that Medicare doesn't pay). They fail to mention that the average hospital stay under Medicare in 1983 was 7.5 days! Very few people will need this sort of long-term hospital protection this policy offers. The type of catastrophic coverage most elderly people really want and need is long term custodial care and few, if any Medigap policies offer this.

"For hospitalization lasting 91 to ISO days, the policy will pay $246 each day. The shocking truth is that the odds of a person 62 or older staying in the hospital 90 days or longer is 1 In 5,000, according to government statistics. The odds of a person in that age group staying 120 days or longer, is 1 in 500,000. And yet, the ad looks like it represents total health care salvation. In truth an older person could wind up paying about $35 per montrh premiums for this policy and collect very little, in benefits," says consumer advocate David Horowitz.

If you already have a good supplemental . policy, you probably do not need another one. Don't waste your money buying more than you need and will ever use.

VISITORS TO MARFA by Harry Ftrstbrook

A good herd of eager deer hun­ters plus a fine group of Marfa Lights viewers and a very nice party of Visitors to Marfa made an all night night of it last Friday night;

Some of the hunters went to bed. All had breakfast around'5 a.m. then took off for the ran­ches. At that time the outside temperature was a cool 24 degrees. Reports from the hun­ters the next few days indicated some nice kills were made. But just like fishermen the big one got away. '

Friday night the Marfa Lights viewers were well rewarded for braving the below freezing tem­perature, 27 degrees at 1:30 a.m. The lights did a good show about midnight.

And the Visitors sat around, stood around, making new frien­ds and telling tales, some pretty tall. They went to bed at a reasonable hour.

A Pennsylvania Dutchman and his wife stopped overnight. They were back in the United States af­ter a vacation in Siberia, and were enroute to Guadalajara. •

A nice couple traveling in a fine mobile home took a room for a few hours to take a nice hot bath. They left Marfa enroute to Kingston Hot Springs.

A professor at a large univer­sity, traveling in a jeep, spent the night here enroute to El Paso via Ojinaga and Juarez.

The pilot of a charter plane brought some hunters from Houston. While they hunted the pilot rented a car and made a round trip to Big Bend National Park over El Camino del Rio. And really enjoyed it.

Just casually mentioned to a lady that it was a nice day. She replied that she was from California where it was always a nice day.

And there were other visitors from near and far, Washington

- State, Arizona; New Mexico, Old Mexico, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Oklahoma and last but not least, Texas. And the truck drivers, both male and female, from, everywhere, going everywhere.

To meet and visit with these fine people is a treat. To hear of their, travels is great. But here 1 am tied down in this old swivel chair that squeaks, never git to go nowheres.

Pease is an adult cardiologist, who graduated from Duke University Medical School and completed residency at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. He is Board Cer­tified in Cardiology and Internal Medicine. Pease has medical staff privleges at all the major El Paso hospitals.

Patients, who would benefit by the services of the BMH Car­diology Clinic are the large num­ber of local patients who see him regularly in El Paso for follow up care, as well as new patients who decide they need the services of a cardiologist, or who are referred by local physicians.

•Pease sees patients with diagnosed cardiac problems such a) angina or congestive heart failure; those with high blood pressure; and those, who have noticed an irregular heart beat such as fluttering or skipping and fed this is of concern.

Persons who think they may have undiagnosed angina or congestive heart failure would have symptoms such as chest pain

/Nmh exercise, that goes away when resting, or swelling of the ankles and shortness of breath not related to respiratory problems. A check up could rule out or help identify early cardiac problems if any of these sym­ptoms are noted.

Pease also sees patients with circulatory problems such as those caused by arteriosclerosis, or damaged blood vessels due to smoking or disease. These con­ditions might result in pain in the calfoTthe leg, thigh, or buttocks after walking, which goes away with rest... Another, type .of problem Hue to poor circulation causes continuous burning pain in the toes, which worsens when the foot is up on a bed or stool and is relieved if the foot is kept low or on the floor. Early diagnosis and treatment of these, problems can prevent com-

Elicaflons and major medical bills iter on.

, Karl stated that offering this clinic was one of the best ways the hospital could serve the community while making the most use of BMH facilities' and personnel.

L§tfrtoth§Editor Dear Pat,

Even though the Thanksgiving Turkey fs now a sandwich or soup, I still hold Thanksgiving in' my heart because St. Paul's Parish reaches out to those who are alone and brightens the holiday with a family dinner, as it did this past Thanksgiving Day. Whether in a large city, small town, or in the country, being alone is a devastating experience, especially when all the surroun­ding families are.spinnlng off in their own little orbits. So to you, as a representative of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Marfa, 1 want to say "thank you" to your parish which generates love and food and a festive feeling to those who are in great need of a' "family"!

Sincerelyr /s/Margaret Anderson

Time does not permit us to organize and rehearse a community chorus, but for those who fed a sense of. excitement with this music, here is your opportunity to re-live the experience. It also allows us at Sul Ross to provide anothercultural activity for the many; supporters of our school and simply say 'thanks'." •: Davis said there would be copies of the music available or individuals could bring their own.

benefit from Zeeck's services are those with backache problems, bone and joint injuries, and ar­thritis problems that haven't responded to medical management. Also Zeeck.will see sports injuries such as muscle, ligament, and knee problems. "A large number of orthopedic in­juries are not emergencies, and can wait over the weekend," says Zeeck. "That is why Monday is a good day for the clinic." Those fractures that, must be set in emergency situations can be followed up for best results by the orthopedic specialist as well. .. Zeeck says he will be doing some surgical procedures in the BMH operating room, such as removal of ganglion cysts, ten­don repairs, fractured hip repairs, and follow up of surgery cases from Odessa when these are needed.

Farmers who use sewage sludge for fertilizer need to know their soil fertility status as detenmed by--aanual soil testing,r state regitlarions; the source of sludge and its chemicaLanalysis, and the compliance status of the sludge generator (wastewater treatment plant) and the sludge contractor. Farmers must have a sensitivity for neighbors who may raise questions about tbe environmen­tal safety of sludge application, Sweeten points otsK" , All this means that farmers who live on the urban fringe can reap economic benefits from fer­tilizing their land with the by­products, of modern society, but they must also be knowledgeable and alert to protect their kowrTto-terests, adds Sweeten.
