The "Fair Share Plan" guarantees every school district in Texas a better than average return on its tax rate. To ensure that kind of equity, the plan asks a little over II percent of the state's wealthiest districts, conlain- ing only 6 112 pcrcelll of Texas school- children, to share some of their good fortune with the stale. Spccilically, these ultra -wcaltl1y districts arc asked to help fund the stale's Teacher Reliremclll System: thai 's only fair si nce richer districts arc a greater coslto the Teacher Re- •i remt ·nl System with their salaries and lower student -teacher ratio . In rclum, the "f-air Share Plan'' allows wealthy districts, willing to raise taxes or cut bureaucracy, to maintain their currelll programs. In addition to providing equal ac- cess to funds, the plan also abolishes the unpopular County Education Dis· trict. provides state assistance in the construction of facilities, restores budget certainty and stability by end- ing the annual shortfalls in state aid known as proration, promotes per- formance by establishing clear goals and rewarding schools that make progress towards them and focuses funds on students by limiting the amounl llf money lhlll can be spent on sc hool bureaucracy and requiring districts to spend 60 percent of their budget on instructional costs, largely teachers' salaries. Final ly, the "Fair Share Plan", unlike previous attempts tu refonn school finance, does not require new state taxes. Quite simply, it does not make promises it cannot keep. In a democracy, no government policy is going to be unanimously embraced; there wiD always be some wbo will oppose whatever is pre- sented. Those who pick fault with this plan must st ep forward with an alternative that is drawn within the same constraints of equily and affordability .. We are convinced the "Fair Share Plan" will make significant strides toward educational excellence and ensure that no Texas scbool district will ever again be called "poor". What's more, it will let all those "typical" parents and taxpayers out there know that we are doing what's right for our children.

The Pennanent Scbool Fund was started in 1854 to encourage public education. In 1876, cerlain lands and mineral rights were designed for the PSF. Our founding fathers made it quite clear the PSF was to remain intact. They required that all interest and dividends be placed in the Avail- able School Fund and be dislributed to the students in Texas on a pro rata basis. The first raid on the PSF came in 1861 when funds were used to pur- chase railroad bonds to support the war effort. It nearly broke the fund. Then, in 1991, Comptroller John Sharp organized another raid by at- tempting to take all the capital gains from the fund to solve the school fmance problems. This attack was repelled by a State Board of Educa- tion compromise. The governor had a plan in the summer of 1992 which included tak- . ing the ASF and redistributing it ac- cording to those with "good" schools. Today, this fund is dislributedequally to all school districts on a per student basis. Frankly, we would rather see the ASF untouched because our sec- tion of the state's experience with redislribution has not been good. If any of these raids bad worked, it would have been another method of moving the cost of public educa- tion to the local taxpayer. The PSF must be protected. If it is lost, the following table indicates a sampling of how local taxes would be increased in some selected towns: Abernathy Amarillo Lubbock Big Spring Plainview Odessa Hale Center +12.5 cents +23.5 cents +22.9cents +26.8cents +35 .0cents +21.1 cents +44.0cents So, the message is that we must do all we can to protect the PSF, or if we do not, local taxes will increase sub- stantially. The other message is that with a 33 percent increase in state spending in the last biennium, the obvious way to pay for scbool fi. nance needs is through decreased spending in other areas.

School fund needs protection By Monte Hasle

State Board of Education It would be inappropriate for me

to begin this article without ftrst ac­knowledging the group of outstand· ing Legislators representing West Texas and the Panhandle areas. To­day, our hope of protection from big city factions is the strong positions beld by State Board of Education Dislrict 15 state senators and repre­sentatives looking out for us in Aus­tin.

With that in mind, let's look at wbat has happened to the overall state budget recently:

Year State State Population Budget

1972-73 12.019,000 $7,900,000,000 1990·91 17.400,000 46,900,000,000 1992·93 17.810,000 62,000,000,000' •AIIaw iDifll' lllfl .. llllt .. t jXl!Uiaio. l'uwth ihr-'*tlur:JFfarl992

According to Forbes Magazine, Texas leads the nation in new state­level jobs, a total of 14,000 in the last 12 months.

What we can see from the above table is the Texas state budget for the last biennium increased nearly one third. The increase for the last bien­nium was nearly twice the value of the total state budget in 1972-73 .

Abernathy Inn owners CUnt and Frelda Johnson welcome previous proprietors of the Abernathy Hotel at the Aber­nathy Inn's open house Sunday. VisJdng were Bess Carey of Breckenridge and Mae Johnston of Abernathy.

These figures do not include "man· dates without funding" laws which have required school districts, cities and counties to implement and fund with local tax dollars. Apparently, spending is out of control at the state level. Our hope is that our Legisla­tors will protect us from undesirable proposals.

Having said that and realizing the culprit in slate fmance cenainly is not public school finance. What hap­pens now?

To help you better understand the situation, you need to know what the Permanent School Fund (PSF) and the Available Scbool Fund (AS F) are and how they affect you.

The Pennanent Scbool Fund was started in 1854 to encourage public education. In 1876, cerlain lands and mineral rights were designed for the PSF. Our founding fathers made it quite clear the PSF was to remain intact. They required that all interest and dividends be placed in the Avail­able School Fund and be dislributed to the students in Texas on a pro rata basis.

The first raid on the PSF came in 1861 when funds were used to pur­chase railroad bonds to support the war effort. It nearly broke the fund.

Then, in 1991, Comptroller John Sharp organized another raid by at­tempting to take all the capital gains from the fund to solve the school fmance problems. This attack was

repelled by a State Board of Educa­tion compromise.

The governor had a plan in the summer of 1992 which included tak-

. ing the ASF and redistributing it ac­cording to those with "good" schools. Today, this fund is dislributedequally to all school districts on a per student basis. Frankly, we would rather see the ASF untouched because our sec­tion of the state's experience with redislribution has not been good.

If any of these raids bad worked, it would have been another method of moving the cost of public educa­tion to the local taxpayer. The PSF must be protected. If it is lost, the following table indicates a sampling of how local taxes would be increased in some selected towns:

Abernathy Amarillo Lubbock Big Spring Plainview Odessa Hale Center

+12.5 cents +23.5 cents +22.9cents +26.8cents +35.0cents +21.1 cents +44.0cents

So, the message is that we must do all we can to protect the PSF, or if we do not, local taxes will increase sub­stantially. The other message is that with a 33 percent increase in state spending in the last biennium, the obvious way to pay for scbool fi. nance needs is through decreased spending in other areas.

Virgie Rhodes continues quest for master's degree

By Tro,ce Cale-VIrgie Rbocles, a long time rest·

dellt of West Texas. Is proving to young people lhal you are never~ old to adlievc.

At 96. she Is still enrolled and attendlngcollege.Sbebascompleted 30 college hours since she was 90.

Mn. Rhodes is a joy and an lnspi­l'lllion to her family, tbe students and tbc professors. She desires to be one of three In lhe Rhodes generation to receive a mas~· s degree atlhe same dme.

Virgie and her husband Clyde moved to West Texas. rllne miles northwest of Abemalhy, In 1926. They were made of lhe "stuff' that made this area great. They raised a family of eleven children during tbe depression. Alllhey knew was work. worit, work.

Each evening and in lhe early mQming, lheir home was fiUed wilh music. The cbildren went to bed wilh music and arose to lhe beaullful strains ofLlebestJaumand Rhapsody Two. Clyde had a love for music and Virgie a love for reading. Love and laugh~ were not uncommon com­panions in tbe family.

Clyde returned to Texas Tech University at tbe age or 60 to con­tinue his educallon. He memorized every piece of music lhat was as­signed to him and played it from memory each week in class. He per. formed a music recital at Texas Tech when be was 68. Just a few weeks ~ lhat accomplisbmen~ be died while playing the piano at a Lions Club banquet in Abernatby.

Virgie moved to Betbany, Okla .• a few years ago and was living close to Soutbem Nazarene University.

She taugbt speecb earlier in ber life at Hamlin College, Hamlin. Since her love for acbieving had not died and since ber one remaining goal was to get her masrer' s degree. she en· rolled.

She was honored this past spring

wbal lhe musk: department or tbe unlvenlfy did tbelr spring recital In her bouor. They gave her a buac bouquet of flowera wblcb included twelve reel roec:a. AI tbe CXliiCiuli011 of lhe rccltll. they lmiiOUIIOCCllhal they ~ 118DlinJ 1be Bell Cboir Room in her boaor.

The daugb~awote during tbe night sev­eral months ago and noticed lhat her molher'sligbtwasstillon.Sbecalled to sec If she was all rigbL Virgie's response was, "'b, yes, honey, I'm rme. You know bow it is when I get started reading, I don't have a lick of sense."

I visited my molher recendy and discovered lhat sbe had read until 4:30a.m. one night and I :30 a.m. lhe next.Inspiteoftbelatehours, Virgie was on time for class lhat morning.

Virgie'sloveforbooksandpeople are an amazement and joy to her family and friends.

Her philosophy of life is quite similar to Will Rogers. She says, "I have never met a person I dido 't like." Criticizing words are not in her vocabulary.

Even though her body is bent and worn, she has a well-spring of joy in her heart and voice. When ber chit· dren call or visit and say, "Molher, bow are you?" She always gives tbe same reply, "Oh, honey, I'm on cloud nine!.,

Her son-in-Jaw says to lhat n:­mark, "Nanie," as her children call her, "what are you doing up there?" 'to which she replies, "It's great up berc and tbe view is gn:at!"

In our world today, "Nanie" is a breath of fresh air for everyone.

Local postmaster describes :new age of mail automation

Kitty McDowell, Abernathy post­master, presenled the Abernathy Li­ons Club weekly program Tuesday.

McDowell offered some stagger- · lng statistics about how automation bas affected mail handling.

Mail dropped into the outside boxes at the Abernathy post office or in the lobby of the post office is called raw mail because it is un­sorled. lbe bags of raw mail are taken to Lubbock arid sorted by ma­chine at the rate of 30,000 pieces per hour.

Mail tbalcan not be electronically read is sorted out and worked by band. McDowell said thatone person can sort that mail at 1,000 pieces per hour.

Processing mall bas taken another step toward automation with barcod­lng similar to products in a grocery store. The machine that reads barcodes is capable of processing 34,000 pieces of mail per hour.

The United Stales Postal Service processes 1.5 million pieces of mail daily.

Mail sent out of state travels by air. Delays in delivery occur when

Drivers need safety first

"As we approach Thanksgiving Day weekend, all of us are making plans for observance of this tmdi­tional season of the year," stated Major V J. Cawthon, Commander of the Texas Department of Public Safety Region 5. Many Department of Public Safety Officers will be malting plans of a different kind, they will be on duty to stimulate safety consciousness throughout this fes­tive holiday.

"The DeparnnentofPublicSafety wants you 10 have a safe and pleasant holiday," Major Cawthon also said. "lfyouareplanningatripoutoftown cbeclc your car, the road condi lions, the weather conditions and yo\)r driv­ing habits." Remember, lba1 the early darkness and heavy traffic calls for more caution and less speed. If we think safety first and drive defen· sively, then a safe and pleasant Thanksgiviog is almost certain. The Major urges Texas motorists to use safety belts on all occasions when opendng a motor vehicle.

Remember, nomauer bpw good a !river we may be, we can not coottol tbe driver that we are meedng. We have no guaranlee lba1 that driver is not tanked up on booze or hopped up on pills. Let's drive as if each driver will always do the unexpected and In this manner we can enjoy IIIOiher bollday.

The operator then reads the address and enters the information into a com­puler for proper sorting procedures. lbose 17 operators can process be­tween 36,000 and 43,200 pieces of mail per hour.

McDowell said that the Abernathy office has two new employees. To help the new employees, McDowell is making a list of incorrect addresses local businesses use for mailing to their customers. This is not a USPS directive but one that McDowell said will help businesses reach their cus­tomers quicker.

In discussing the zip-plus-four(zip codes with individual four-digitnmn­bers for addresses), McDowell said zip-plus-four should be in place by 1995.

THE BIBLE IS OUR SET OF 'BY-LAWS' FOR

A GOOD LIFE ~very organization, be it political. social or whatever, has its officers; but It Is mainly governed by a set of rules called the by-laws. which tell the members what they can or cannot do. The Bible contains a set of by-laws for the organization known as the human race. They include The Ten Commandments. Throughout the sacred Scriptures are instructions for living a good life for ourselves and causing no harm to anyone else. The by-laws of other organizations are subject to occasional revision, as the circumstances warrant, but there has never been nor will there ever be any reason to revise theJnstrucUons.contained in the Bible, for their

· validity Is as eternal as human nature Itself. You will learn about these Biblical by-laws by attending your House of Worship. .
