TEXAS A&M WILL HOST THE

2012 NCAA DIVISION I WOMAN’S

BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

1ST & 2ND ROUNDS MARCH 17 & 19.

WHEN FANS CONVERGE ON REED

ARENA, IT WILL BE A WHOLE NEW

EXPERIENCE FOR AGGIELAND.

March Madness HITS

Bryan/College Station


TEXAS A&M WOMEN’S BASKETBALL did

host an NCAA tournament fi rst round game back in

1994 at the G. Rollie White Coliseum, but “the games

have changed a lot since then,” says Steve Miller, di-

rector of events at Texas A&M University. This is the

fi rst year for Texas A&M to host a tournament at this

level. In fact, Texas A&M was rejected after bidding to

host the 2011 NCAA tournament so the fi rst victory

came when the athletic department submitted a bid to

host the 2012 games and was selected for the fi rst and

second rounds.

“The top teams usually host the games, so this

is very important for our program,” says Miller. “We

NCAA Rules!1st & 2nd Rounds, March 17 & 19Reed Arena, Texas A&M University

Game one of the fi rst round will begin Saturday, March 17, at 3 p.m. (CT), followed by game two at 5:30 p.m. (CT).

Second round play will begin Monday, March 19, at 8 p.m. (CT).

Pairings will be announced Monday, March 12, at 6 p.m. (CT) on ESPN. All tournament games will be televised on ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPNU. For more information on the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament, visit aggieathletics.com or ncaa.com.

are also waiting to hear if we will be selected to host

a 2013 tournament round as well.” If the Lady Aggies

qualify for the playoffs, one advantage of hosting the

fi rst and second rounds of the NCAA tournament is

giving the team a home court advantage.

“Playing at home gives our girls a tremendous

advantage,” says Vic Schaefer, associate head coach for

the Texas A&M Women’s Basketball Team. “If the girls

make it to the playoffs I know they would be excited

for their friends, family and Texas A&M to have the

opportunity to watch the games.” It will mean a lot

to the girls to simply “sleep in their own bed at night

rather then a hotel room,” says Schaefer. Of the 64

teams hosting NCAA tournament rounds this year,

Texas A&M is ranked third in attendance and tickets

sold for games. The Texas A&M Women’s Basketball

team alone sold 435,000 in ticket sales just last year.

“We have a great crowd; it gives our student

athletes such a positive experience,” Miller says. “Our

season ticket holders have done a great job this year,”

adds Schaefer. Besides an adrenaline rush and hoop

thrills, hosting these tournament rounds will pro-

vide an economic rush to both the university and the

community. Bill Byrne, director of athletics at Texas

A&M, put the impact in terms of dollars and good

sense during a presentation at the recent Economic

Outlook Conference sponsored by the B/CS Chamber

of Commerce.

Just one statistic highlighted during Bryne’s

power-point presentation notes that “championship

events utilize 1,500-2,000 room nights per year for of-

fi cial travel party alone.” It all adds up to a huge eco-

nomic boon for the two cities. With the decision to

move Texas A&M into the Southeastern Conference,

the university has opened doors that many predict

will improve both the university’s brand and market

strength. By increasing Texas A&M’s visibility and sta-

bility in the college sports arena, school offi cials are

hopeful the fi nancial future of Aggie athletics – along

with the community that supports the Aggies – will

keep setting new records along with its teams. i

Whether you’re in town for the NCAA basketball playoffs or you’re just looking to avoid your kitchen for the

night, choose from one of the many excellent lo-cally owned restaurants and you’ll be rewarded with both a distinctive dining experience and points that can be cashed in for free meals in the future.

Thanks to the Taste of B/CS, you can eat local and be rewarded for it in so many ways. Wade Beckman, owner of Shipwreck Grill in Bryan, with the help from Dave Fox, owner of Blue Baker, and a few other local restaurant owners, launched Taste of B/CS not only to pro-mote independently owned restaurants but also to reward the customers who choose to eat local. Wade had previously been involved in a national restaurant group with similar goals. From that experience, Beckman knew he wanted to start a similar organization in Bryan/ College Station.

“It makes a lot of sense [to create this or-ganization]. We are up against the chain res-taurants; if we band together we can help and

protect each other,” says Beckman. Currently, Taste of B/CS has more than 6,000 members who have signed up for a free card that tracks purchases at all 25 par-ticipating restaurants. “Our goal is to triple that number by next year,” says Beckman.

Members accumulate points by spending money in participating locally owned restau-rants. Every time members reach 150 points, they receive a $10 gift certifi cate to use at any Taste of B/CS restaurant.

Until recently, to sign up for a free Taste of B/CS rewards card you had to visit a participat-ing restaurant. Now you can sign up using your smart phone. By texting “JOIN” to the partici-pating restaurant of your choice, you will receive a text message reply with a link to a website where you may register for your free rewards card. You also can register also through Facebook.

bands all of the local restaurants together with cutting-edge technol-ogy,” Beckman says. Eating locally also is impor-tant to the community: you are supporting local farmers by consuming the fresh ingredients they supply to local restaurants.

Whether it’s cooking up a one-of-a-kind dish or creating a distinctive ambiance, local restaurant owners create unique experiences for customers.

The next time someone asks, “Where should we eat?” choose local and Taste of B/CS will reward you. i

After eight years of restoration, the Calvert Women’s Club will host a grand open-ing celebration for the 1909 American

Woman’s League chapter house. Visitors will be able to enjoy a full day of early 20th century history while touring League member’s turn-of-the-century homes, enjoying a free ice cream social, and even buying goods at an old-fashion bake sale located in the Karen Wiese Pavilion in historic Virginia Field Park.

This wonderfully rare chapter house building is one of the fi rst built in the United States and is the only one left in Texas. The house symbolizes women’s changing role in rural America. His-tory of the chapter house dates back to May 19, 1890, when Ella Hamman do-nated a Calvert city lot to the American Woman’s League. The league, in return, provided materials and plans to build a chapter house.

Today, the building is still fi lled with many of the original arts and craft style chairs, tables, settees, ceiling lights and carpets. Accord-ing to historical information posted on the Cal-vert Women’s Club website, “Perhaps the most impressive interior object is the embedded relief sculpture in the brick over the fi replace. Lewis commissioned George J. Zolnay, a famed Roma-

nian sculptor, to create a sculpture that would capture the ‘Woman’s Mission.’”

Formed in 1939, the Calvert Women’s Club was established for the purpose of meeting so-cially for charitable, educational and commu-nity needs.

“One of our main goals as Calvert Women’s

Club members is to sponsor community proj-ects; the Heritage Center has been our biggest yet,” says Cindy Delulio, Heritage Center chair.

Today, the Calvert Women’s Club members also play the role of caretaker for one of the most unique historic buildings in Texas, the Women’s Heritage Center.

Joined by Robertson County Historical Commis-sion, Calvert Chamber of Commerce, and City of Calvert, the Calvert Women’s Club formed a community partnership dedicated to the preser-vation and restoration of their local heritage and to emphasize this building as an important piece of history and tourist destination.

“With the building’s transformation to a Women’s Heritage Center, a diverse group of visitors will experience the story of rural women bursting into the 20th century during a time of suffrage, urbanization, and growing self-reli-ance,” according to the Calvert Women’s Club website. i

WHATGrand Opening Celebration of the newly restored 1909 American Woman’s League chapter house.

WHEN Saturday, March 24, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Enjoy tours of historic homes, sing along with the barbershop quartet, soak up the ambiance of the Model T show, and top off your day with a free Blue Bell ice cream social.

COMINGATTRACTION by Cheyanne Baker

March 21-25, Cirque du Soleil will present Dralion for the fi rst time in College Station. A fusion between

the 3,000-year-old tradition of Chinese acro-batic arts and the multidisciplinary approach of Cirque du Soleil, Dralion made its premier in 1999 in Montreal, Canada.

Since then, it has entertained more then seven million people worldwide. The name Dralion is derived from its two symbolic crea-tures: the dragon, representing the East; and the lion, representing the West. Drawing its in-spiration from the Eastern philosophy, Dralion strives to express its never-ending quest for har-mony between humans and nature.

“It is a very high quality show with lots of energy, edginess and passion,” according to Julie Desmarais, Dralion publicist. “The whole visual experience is an aesthetic feast for the eyes! The show marks the fusion of ancient Chinese ac-robatics and the avant-garde style of Cirque du Soleil. You will see on stage some of the most unique acrobatics ever presented. One of the things that make Cirque different is that no two Cirque shows are alike. We reinvent ourselves for every new creation.”

Dralion embodies each element of air, fi re, water and earth by representing the elements

with their own evocative color. Air is blue, water is green, fi re is red, and earth is ochre. Each of the four elements is brought to life to express how man and nature are one and balance is achieved. Dralion features 50 in-ternational acrobats, gymnasts, musicians and singers.

“All our performers are real people performing unreal things,” says Desma-rais. “We scout our artists from all over the world and all of them trained their whole lives to become world-class performers. In Dralion, you will see a combination of tra-ditional acrobatics to out-of-the-box acro-batics.

“Cirque is very conscious of develop-ing new markets throughout North Amer-ica and the world, and College Station is a market we believe has potential. We hope to continue presenting shows there in the future. i

WHATCirque du Soleil presents Dralion, a fusion between the 3,000-year-old tradition of Chinese acrobatic arts and the multidisciplinary approach of Cirque du Soleil.

WHENThere will be seven performances March 21-25. Wednesday through Friday performances begin at 7:30 p.m. Performances on Saturday begin at 3:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. and 5 p.m.
