Well, global warming has struck again … and caused a blast from the North Pole that has fro-zen more pipes, cracked more asphalt, and caused enough wrecks to set the insurance companies in “emergency rate examina-tion” mode. We’ll be get-ting those letters right af-ter the first of the year.

We got a good warning this time. Even the people out in this part of the state who get their satellite tele-vision weather from some-where in Arkansas got the word.

It was going to get cold. It was going to get really cold by the middle of the week, and we might have a blizzard on the weekend. I might be exaggerating a little. It’s the weather. It’s Texas; we exaggerate.

When we were young, we waited until the first frozen rain started to fall before venturing outside to wrap pipes. With towels and duct tape, we’d wrap the faucet by the kitchen and get the last of the plants in. It was always a rush to get it done.

On one of those “young and stupid: times, we were more interested in getting warm than weatherizing the house.

We forgot a few pipes and the crawl space on the west side of the house. We woke the next morning to faucets that wouldn’t drip,

toilets that flushed only once, and showers whose noisy pipes tried to scare the sleep from our eyes.

I remember being home on maternity leave with our younger daughter on one of those mornings. On the third day, things be-gan to thaw out. Of course I blamed my husband for frozen pipes.

He got to go to work where their water flowed freely. At my insisting, he called a plumber to make sure we didn’t have leaks under the house.

I could hear the plumb-er bumping around under the floor in the kitchen. I was on the phone to my mother.

I commented to her about his low riding pants and said something about his “fault-line freezing.”

From just below the li-noleum flooring, I heard, “Now, now, Mrs. Beggs.” I froze. It didn’t occur to me that if I could hear him, he could hear me.

If I remember right, I found something I needed to do… like buying grocer-ies, getting the oil changed, or picking up litter along the highway. I had to get out of that house before he finished. I’m not sure when I came home. I’m pretty sure it was before spring set in.

I’m older and wiser now. Yesterday, I got out in the heat and wrapped the

pipes for the two faucets outside. I covered the vent holes with bubble wrap. I used to use old campaign posters, but “Beggs for Justice of the Peace” al-ways brings up a lot of sad memories, so I decided to use the bubble wrap this year.

My daughter called on her way home from work. I bragged about getting the winterizing done ahead of time.

“You shouldn’t be crawl-ing under that deck to cover that opening to the crawl space.”

Now, I’ve been sick, and I’m sure she was worried about me getting stuck under the deck… alone… covered in ice… without my cell phon … and she and her sister having to pay for the excavation.

Well, I had not covered the crawl space opening. I forgot. It was dark. I de-cided not to worry about it. Plumbers come and plumbers go, and surely I could find one I hadn’t of-fended.

This morning I went out to the deck and was thrilled. I had forgotten to uncover it last summer. Its piece of Styrofoam was in place.

I did a little happy dance, wrapped my coat around me and fought my way through the cold wind back into the house. Hal-lelujah.

Now the story can be told. If necessity is the mother of invention, sure-ly resourcefulness is a first cousin. Sometimes it cuts off anxiety—and other “downers”—at the pass.

A mom well down life’s highway decided to “come clean” on how she’s avoid-ed both “wash day blues” and “ironing day blues.”

A system she imple-mented long ago—well be-fore housewives were res-cued by “wash and wear” clothing--saved her count-less hours in the laundry room.

She had no aching back, and she got her hubby’s white shirts washed and ironed for nothing—ac-tually at a small profit—when the IRS tax savings were rolled in….

This woman--in mari-tal harness longer than most horses--has seen the snows of many winters and has dealt with a ton of household chores that seem to multiply—all this since Hector was but a wee pup.

Drat it all, she winces, life might have been dif-ferent if her hubby hadn’t been a professional—the kind calling for fresh white shirts each day.

Until she discovered “the system,” she wilted, surrendering to debilitat-ing smothering spells at the prospect of draconian washday chores, followed by grueling hours at the ironing board.

Readers may assume I’m writing about my Un-cle Mort’s long-suffering wife Maude.

But wait. Mort, now 102, has never been an execu-tive, and he wears white shirts only to funerals of next of kin.

You’d be right, though, in guessing the ingenious woman was made from the

same mold, the one said to have been broken BE-FORE Mort was born….

Okay, so you want to know “the system.” She studied the “ins and outs” of Goodwill in considerable detail.

Let’s call her “Mrs. Skip-work,” whose creative juic-es flowed like water rush-ing down mountains when spring sunshine claimed rivers from deep drifts of snow.

Each Friday morning, she dropped off five soiled white shirts at Goodwill, aware they’d be washed by midday, ironed before clos-ing time and on the sales rack the first thing Mon-day morning.

She got a $2.50 tax credit for each shirt “do-nated,” then showed up early on Mondays to buy back the shirts for 50 cents each.

“It worked for decades,” Mrs. Skipwork said, claim-ing the system freed her up for other more interest-ing ventures….

The “ventures” refer-ence pretty much nails down her being blood kin of my Uncle Mort. His ventures, though, morph quickly into escapades.

He called the other day, eager to tell me about his “double-feature dream.”

“There were two distinc-tively different dreams,” he claimed….

Thanksgiving thoughts may have caused the first one.

“I dreamed the White House ended the tradition of sparing a turkey,” he related. “They decided—maybe in hopes of salvag-ing turkey votes—to spare all turkeys this year.”

If my eyes had been turned loose in a pinball machine, they could not have rolled more.

He then detailed the

“second feature”—the one he thinks perhaps was a vision—concerning hand-shakes….

With flu season at hand and Ebola scares still dominating many con-versations, Mort recalled dreamland signs on every post promoting fist bumps over handshakes.

“I’m against bumping,” he fumed. “Next thing we know, the younger set will add grinding.”

He contended that one can tell quite a bit about a man by his handshake—a custom usually in tandem with lookin’ the other guy straight in the eye.

He said handshakes used to be as good as contracts, and that “fist-bumping may have its place in the next century, but not in this one.”

He dreamed that he took it upon himself to hop on his golf cart, replacing all the fist-bumping pro-motions in his part of the thicket.

His signs, splashed in bold, black letters on dis-carded shingles, read: “Shake Hands Anyway.”…

Mort said that life goes on, with most folks already bogged down with worries.

Awash in rants, he de-fended “good germs,” mut-tering, “They’ve got to get around, too.” He moaned about the world being en-gulfed by far too much in-formation.

If you see Uncle Mort at the general store, he’ll be glad to share dreams with you. And if a point of agreement comes up, why not shake on it?” It’s the American way….

Voters in the city of Denton clearly don’t want drilling for oil and gas to continue in their fair city.

The vote wasn’t close. Fifty-nine percent voted to ban hydraulic fractur-ing (HF) inside the city limits of Denton.

A lot has been made of the distortions of facts regarding the environ-mental and financial im-pact by EarthWorks, the environmental group that put some $40,000 into the campaign.

Some of the allegations tossed around included that hydraulic fracturing contaminates water in the city of Denton.

Railroad Commission Chairman Christi Cradd-ick pointed out in a state-ment issued on Nov. 12 that there has never been a case where hydraulic fracturing has polluted groundwater.

“Since hydraulic frac-turing became a widely used practice in Texas, it has been plagued by a cloud of misinformation, mainly due to groups more interested in scar-ing people than actu-

ally understanding the complex science of min-erals extraction,” Crad-dick stated. “Setting the hyperbole aside reveals a simple truth: Hydrau-lic fracturing has never contributed to a single instance of groundwater contamination in Texas – never.”

A key reason for the great record is the dili-gence in oversight of the RRC that ensures the safety of oil and natural gas production statewide through a rigorous pro-cess of permitting, moni-toring and inspecting op-erations, she said.

“Without exception, we hold companies account-able whenever water qual-ity or production-related pollution is in question. Texas is our home, too. Our interests are your in-terests,” Craddick said.

She notes that the com-mission’s role centers on issuing drilling permits, overseeing them and reg-ulating operators.

Conversely, companies doing business here must comply with city ordi-nances and be good neigh-bors in the communities where they operate.

“The people of Denton need to know that the Railroad Commission of Texas is your ally – an informed partner in your efforts to preserve your public safety, while tap-ping the vast economic benefits that come with localized energy produc-tion, Craddick said. “In a world where misinforma-tion and sensationalism too often drive the public discourse, let’s embrace the truth, adopt reason-able approaches to the challenges we face, and share the prosperity that follows.”

As a result of last week’s vote, it’s less like-ly a reasonable model of peaceful cooperation will be available to the people of Denton.

In the meantime, Den-ton County will lose jobs, tax revenues, business de-velopment, and the other economic benefits that come with oil and gas pro-duction, our state’s most iconic and lucrative in-dustry.

Do you love the Lord? If someone were to ask you if you love the lord, what would your response be? Would your answer be based on the life you’re living or would it be based on a feeling you have? Don’t get me wrong, I think you should feel something inside when you love Him. But. . . Jesus Himself, was quite clear about what loving Him would look like, not feel like. He said it was seen by whether or not you and I were doing what He asked of us.

Questions:

Are we reading the Bible regularly? (Acts 17:11)If we really loved Him, we would be reading His word every day to know what it is that He is asking of us. We would want to hear from Him every day as well.

Are we meeting with His body? (Heb.11:25)If we really loved Him, we would want to come together each week with other believers, to worship Him openly.

Are we sharing His message? (Matt.10:32)If we really love Him, we will want to share His love with as many as we can. We would want them to see what Jesus has done in our lives and what He can do for them as well..

AUSTIN — Winners in the Nov. 4 general elec-tion on the whole proved that incumbency and/or running as a Republican continue to be assets when Texas voters hit the polls.

Democrats Wendy Davis and Leticia Van de Putte lost by wide margins to Re-publicans Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick for the offices of governor and lieuten-ant governor, respectively. In the Abbott-Davis race, the spread was 20 points: 59 to 39 percent. Similarly, the spread in the Patrick-Van de Putte race was 19 points: 58 to 39 percent.

Incumbent U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, rebuffed Democratic chal-lenger David Alameel, a Dallas businessman, by a 27 percent margin or 2.85 million votes to Alameel’s 1.59 million.

Incumbents, regardless of party, exacted a near sweep in races for congres-sional seats.

The exception was in-cumbent freshman U.S. Rep. Pete P. Gallego, D-Alpine, who lost massive Congressional District 23 stretching from El Paso to San Antonio by two percentage points (about 2,500 votes) to Republican Will Hurd of San Antonio.

Republicans tohead agencies

In the races to head state agencies, Republican state Sen. Ken Paxton of McKinney was elected at-torney general, to replace Greg Abbott as the state’s

chief law enforcement of-ficer. Paxton, of McKinney, received nearly 59 percent of the vote to Democratic challenger Sam Houston of Houston, who received 38 percent. Farmer and Republican state Sen. Glenn Hegar of Katy in the race to succeed Texas Comptroller Susan Combs, beat Houston-area accoun-tant and Democrat Mike Collier by a margin of 20 points: 58 percent to 38 percent. Republican Fort Worth attorney George P. Bush in the race to suc-ceed Jerry Patterson as land commissioner beat Democratic opponent John Cook by a 25-point margin, 60 percent to 35 percent.

Former state Rep. Sid Miller, R-Stephenville, won the race to succeed Agriculture Commis-sioner Todd Staples, over Cleburne farmer and Democrat Jim Hogan by 20 points, 58 percent to 38 percent. Petroleum engineer Ryan Sitton, a Friendswood Republican, won a seat on the oil and gas regulating Texas Rail-road Commission, beat-ing Democratic opponent Steve Brown, a Houston businessman, 58 percent to 36 percent.

Most otherposts go GOP

Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Nathan Hecht, a Republican, over-came Democratic challeng-er, El Paso State District Court 34 Judge William Moody, garnering 59 per-

cent of the vote to Moody’s 37 percent.

Incumbent members of the State Board of Educa-tion retained their seats but in a race between non-incumbents for SBOE Dist. 13, Democrat Erika Beltran won, getting 90 percent of the vote to Lib-ertarian Junart Sodoy’s 10 percent.

Republican Konni Bur-ton of Fort Worth won the race to succeed Wendy Davis in the state Senate Dist. 10 race, getting about 53 percent of the vote to Democratic opponent Lib-by Willis’s nearly 45 per-cent.

Sen. Leticia Van de Putte of San Antonio did not resign to run for higher office. She will continue to hold the Sen. Dist. 26 seat.

Dan Patrick’s successor in northwest Houston’s Sen. Dist. 7 is Republican Paul Bettencourt, who got nearly 72 percent of the vote to Democrat Jim Da-vis’s 26 percent.

Incumbents in the 150 state House of Represen-tatives races, regardless of party, dominated their challengers. One excep-tion was incumbent San Antonio Dist. 117 Rep. Philip Cortez, who with 47 percent of the vote lost to Republican challenger Rick Galindo’s 52 per-cent. Another incumbent Democrat, Rep. Mary Ann Perez of Dist. 144, which includes parts of Houston, Pasadena, Deer Park and Baytown, lost to Repub-lican challenger Gilbert

Pena by 1.31 percent of the vote. Notably, Republican House Speaker Joe Straus, in his race to retain the San Antonio House Dist. 121 seat, won against Lib-ertarian Jeff Carruthers, 82 percent to 18 percent. Straus must receive the support of at least 76 of the next Texas Legislature’s 150 members to retain the speakership in the coming regular session convening in January.

Proposition 1wins approval

Finally, Proposition 1 on the statewide bal-lot — “The constitutional amendment providing for the use and dedication of certain money transferred to the state highway fund to assist in the completion of transportation construc-tion, maintenance, and rehabilitation projects, not to include toll roads” — passed with 80 percent of the vote in favor and 20 percent against.

Voter turnoutfigures normal

Secretary of State Nan-dita Berry, the state’s chief elections officer, on Oct. 16 reported more Texans than ever had registered to vote: 14,025,441. About 4.7 million voters followed through and cast ballots in early voting or on election day last week.

That’s a 33.57 percent turnout, a little lower than the previous comparable election, in November 2010.

Morehart Mortuary, located at 1101 W. Walk-er, will host a Holiday Remembrance Program at 5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 7, for all those who have lost a loved one this year.

The holidays can be a particularly difficult time to cope with the loss of a loved one.

It is Morehart Mor-tuary’s hope that its Holiday Remembrance Program will provide a comforting forum in which families can come together to express their grief and to find peace during this challenging season.

The Program will in-clude special music, me-morial readings and a lighting of candles in re-membrance of those who have passed on.

Families in attendance

at the Holiday Remem-brance Program will also be presented with a com-plimentary glass angel ornament personalized with the name and life dates of their loved ones.

The ornament can be hung on a Christmas tree or displayed elsewhere in the home in commem-oration of the loved one for years to come.

The Program is open to all members of the community who have lost loved ones this year; not just those who have been served by Morehart Mortuary.

For more information or to RSVP and reserve a personalized ornament, please contact Micah or Jaclyn Morehart at 254-559-5421 or by email at morehartmortuary@sbc-global.net.

HistoricallySpeaking

Historic Crystal Falls Church influenced community activities

One of the oldest churches in Stephens County that is still standing with an active congregation is the church at Crystal Falls, near the Clear Fork of the Brazos River, north of Breckenridge.

The church was built about 1880 and the life of the small community of Crystal Falls was centered around the church. Originally, it was built as a two-story frame building with a high spire that held the church bell. In about 1960, the second floor was re-moved and the church was rocked and furnished with new pews.

During the intervening years, the church was abandoned and fell into disrepair but by 1976, Tru-man Robertson, who had attended that church all his life, said he had plans to restore the structure. When restored in 1976, the church was used by all denomi-nations and as a community center. The church now has been used for several years and has an active con-gregation with Danny Lee as the pastor in the pulpit most Sundays.

Mrs. W. H. Green, matriarch of several prominent families in Albany, wrote about her memories of the small church of Crystal Falls where she was born in 1884 and attended regularly. Mrs. Green especially remembered the ringing of the church bell after a fu-neral as the casket was loaded into a hack and the family, minister and townspeople followed the hack up the hill to the Crystal Falls Cemetery that over-looks the Clear Fork River and the valley below. She said, “the bell would ring steadily during the whole procession up the hill to the cemetery.”

Mrs. Green also wrote about the most happy times at Christmas when family came from miles away to see the Christmas Tree at the church. It was the most beautiful tree she had ever seen as a small child. “In all my life there had been few greater thrills as a young child,” said Mrs. Green. “The sight of her first Christmas tree in that little church at Crystal Falls.”

“To me, it was spectacular with its string of pop-corn, apples and oranges and then the collection of toys under the tree,” said Mrs. Green. “I was overcome with joy when my name was called and a doll with a China head and painted blond hair was brought to me. I also got a drinking mug and a book about a pig that wouldn’t go over the stile.”

According to records, both Baptists and Method-ists met in the church and Mrs. Green distinctly re-membered the ‘fire and brimstone’ preaching directed to all the sinners by the Baptist preacher. That type preaching scared her so badly that she would go home and hide under the covers that night and try to think of ways of avoiding Satan.

As was the costume in those days, men sat on the left and women on the right but when a young couple started dating the boy would sit with his girl on the woman’s side of the church.

The Baptists were strongly against dancing and Mrs. Green wrote about a trial the church held when some of the members were ‘turned out’ because they attended square dances over the Christmas holidays. “The evidence was the worn soles on their Sunday shoes,” according to Mrs. Green.

The second floor of the church was used for local Lodge meetings and was off limits to the girls. Mrs. Green wrote, “that she thought they kept Billy Goats upstairs and that intruders would be butted by the goats, if their curiosity tempted them too much and they went up the stairs.”

Crystal Falls also had a school and had more than 100 students attending there and employed a superin-tendant and five or six teachers. The school was shut down in the early 1940s and now all that remains is the front steps and part of the rock foundation. Close by is an unmarked grave that no one seems to know who is buried there.

At one time there was a Pumpstation on the bank of the Clear Fork. The station was once the home of a family by the name of Cleveland. The station pumped water through a 12-inch line to Breckenridge and was the major source of water for Breckenridge, at that time. The dam that was built just below the bridge and the old Powers Dam was built to keep a constant supply of water available to the pump station.

Crystal Falls was well-known as a God-fearing community. On the other hand, Jim Kern, just a mile southeast of Crystal Falls was known as a place for parties, ladies and dancing. Perhaps the worst sin a boy could commit in those early historic days was to be caught visiting Jim Kern. That also was where the ranchers shipped their cattle and merchants loaded or unloaded their freight.

In the early days there were two trains that kept Crystal Falls thriving. One was the mail train which ran from Breckenridge to Crystal Falls and Throck-morton. The other was a cargo train which ran from Wichita Falls to Graham, Jim Kern, Breckenridge and then southward, which was prior to the Oil Boom era of the early 1920s.

By 1900, more than 20 families lived in or about Crystal Falls and the population grew to more than 1,200 when the Oil Boom hit Stephens County in the early 1920s.

BHS Drama/Band present Veteran’s Day saluteThe Breckenridge High

School Drama Depart-ment under the leader-ship of Clarissa McDaniel presented a Veteran’s Day program for area veterans which was very well done.

A segment of the BHS Band also volunteered and they did a great job with appropriate patriotic songs, which they had to spend extra time to learn.

The songs included “The Star Spangled Banner,” “America The Beautiful,” “This is My Country,” “Bat-tle Hymn of the Republic,”

“My Country ‘Tis of Thee,” “Hymn to the Fallen” and “God Bless America.” C.J. Hart played “Taps” on his trumpet to end the pro-gram.

The 18 volunteers from the BHS band led by Band Director Dane Richardson included Caitlyn Norman, Charlotte Weaver, Ryan Wallace, Dreww Boggs, Chastity Lambert, Jake Wallace, William Cooksey, Austin Kelley, Braxton Post, Miranda Mathias, Randa Sims, Tayler Stef-fen, Cali Toliver, Taylor

Caraway, Joseph Satter-white, Jacob Glick and Hart.

A presentation was made to one of their own as Richardson presented vet-eran Dustin Moses, Assis-tant BHS Band Director, a gift from the participating band students for his ser-vice.

The Drama Dept. stu-dent speakers did an out-standing job with their presentations that ranged from poetry to other patri-otic readings to honor at-tending veterans.

The students who par-ticipated in that part of the program included Haden Miller, C.J. Hart, Elyssa Glick, Taylor Watson, J. Glick, Ryan Miller and Brigston Robertson.

All the students in-volved should be com-mended for going through the extra effort to prepare the program for the hand-ful of veterans that were in attendance. Unfortunately, about 40 veterans were at-tending their own program at the local VFW Post 7767, at that same time.

Once again, Security Title of Breckenridge will sponsor the ‘Ornaments For Seniors,’ which will be available for pick-up be-ginning Monday, Nov. 17, at Security Title, located at 211 W. Walker.

There will be an orna-ment for each resident of the two local facilities, Cedar Crest Care center

and Villa Haven Health and Rehabilitation Center. Each ornament is accom-panied by a “wish list” for three or four items.

“Every year we are over-whelmed with the help from our community on this project,” said chairper-son Brandi Baugh. “This is a great opportunity for businesses, civic organi-

zations, Sunday School classes, youth groups and individuals who want to spread a little Christmas cheer for the elderly of the Stephens County commu-nity.”

Participants are encour-aged to come by and pick up their ornament, be-ginning Monday, Nov. 17, purchase the items on the

‘wish list’ for that individ-ual, wrap the gifts and re-turn them to Security Title by Thursday, Dec. 4.

The gifts will be deliv-ered in time for the respec-tive resident Christmas Party at the appropriate facility.

For additional informa-tion, contact Baugh at 254-559-2000.

Breck Library/BFAC to sponsor new puppet show The Breckenridge Li-

brary and the Brecken-ridge Fine Arts Center are working together to bring a new puppet show to children and their parents at 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 4, at the BFAC.

The show stars Jingle the Elf (Brett Roberts) and Jolly the Snowman (a costume character).

Throughout the show Jingle tells the audience about his responsibili-ties in Santa’s workshop and during the grand finale, Jolly the Snow-man comes out to help everyone sing a Christ-mas Carol.

Children will not only get to see the wonderful magical creations from the Santa’s workshop, but they will be the ones that make the magic happen.

The children will get to help build a snow-man, decorate a tree and test all the zany inventions from Santa’s workshop. Variety is a key element in this pro-duction.

Roberts is the top children’s magician in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. He also studied puppetry at the Mas-sachusetts Institute of Technology under Jim Henson Productions. He is a member of the Pup-peteers of America.

Be sure that you ar-rive a few minutes ear-ly at the Breckenridge Fine Arts Center, for the show because Roberts draws a large crowd so, be there early!

For additional in-formation, contact the Breckenridge Library at 254-559-5505.

If I Stay (PG-13) Mia (Chloe Grace-

Moretz) is a teenage girl with a talent for cello, nice parents, a rock ‘n’ roll boyfriend and a good chance of getting into Juilliard. While in the car with her loving family, they get into a horrible accident, and Mia’s body is rushed into surgery while her spirit looks on. Stuck between life and death, Mia has a decision to make. It sounds like it should be obvious, but she manages to stretch out the decision for the full run time. Do you sense what kind of melodrama we’re dealing with? To nobody’s surprise, the fi lm is based on a bestselling novel for the young-adult market.

22 Jump Street (R)

This is a sequel that truly builds on the success of its predecessor without recycling every single joke! In the last movie, “21 Jump Street,” Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill were two cops tasked with infi ltrat-ing a local high school to bust up a drug ring. Putting two overgrown adolescents into an environment full of real adolescents turned out to be a great move, plus Tatum and Hill have an easy, funny and admirable take on adult male friendships (called “bromances” in the contemporary vernacular). This sequel sends the duo after a college-based crime ring, stepping up the humor and the action.

The Wind Rises (PG-13)Japanese

animator Hayao Miyazaki has an illustrious career that includes some of the

world’s most-praised animated features. This movie has been called his farewell picture,

and it’s a fi tting image. The animated feature takes you into the mind of Jiro Hirokoshi, an airplane engineer with a sincere love of fl ight and the intangible beauty of mathematics. Unfortunately, Jiro’s masterwork designs were used by the Imperial Japanese military during World War II. Don’t let the cooked-up controversy keep you from seeing this gor-geous, heartfelt fi lm.

Before I Go To Sleep (R)Nicole Kidman, Colin Firth and Mark Strong. Directed by Rowan Joff è

“Who are you?” asks Nicole Kidman’s character, Christine, in the opening scene to the man she’s just woken up next to in the bed. In Christine’s case, she really, truly has no idea: She has a form of amnesia that makes her wake up every day totally blank about everything that hap-pened the day before—and every day before that. We learn her memory loss was due to head trauma from an automobile accident 10 years ago. But was it?

Why does she have fl ashbacks of an airport hotel room, a violent assault by a man with a scar, and a woman named Claire? Why does her psychologist, Dr. Nasch (Mark Strong), insist on seeing her without her husband’s knowledge? Each morning, she retrieves a digital camera from its hiding place in her closet. She watches the recording(s) she’s made on it previously, as her memories begin to rebuild again bit by bit. Suspicions mount, and things turn out to be diff erent from what they seem—and from what Christine has been led to believe. Fans of contemporary mystery-suspense thrillers will get a kick out of following the twists and turns, and of cheering on Christine as she struggles to piece together her life from the scattered, shattered shards of her past. — Neil Pond

Mobile Food Pantry set for

Nov. 18The Mobile Food Pantry

will deliver food to the First United Methodist Church Tuesday, Nov. 18, on the regular third Tuesday of the month delivery.

Volunteers are needed to help unload the food be-tween 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. and others are needed to help patrons with small chil-dren or elderly seniors with walkers. The doors open at 10 a.m. and are open until 12:30 p.m.

Volunteers are always needed so if your looking for a place to serve, Tuesday morning is it. Help also will be required to re-load the truck after the patrons are finished at 12:30 p.m.

In October, a total of 544 people were served which represented a slight in-crease. Within that total, there were 200 children, 263 adults and 81 senior citizens that were served.

The total cost of the food and transportation was $577, which represented an increase of more than $100 that is paid from the estab-lished account at First Na-tional Bank.

Many churches, busi-nesses and individuals have donated money to that ac-count continually since Jan-uary to pay for this valuable ministry in our community.

Gunsight Baptist Church coordinates the Mobile Food Pantry, with Jan Griffith as the contact person at 254-559-8808.

Beginning in January, 2015, transportation costs will increase when the Mo-bile Food Pantry Grant ends.

Abilene Civic Center to feature Super Bowl star Ben Utecht, Abilene High School Choir, Philharmonic

The joy of the holidays will be celebrated with vocalist and former tight end from the Super Bowl Champion Indianapolis Colts Ben Utecht Satur-day, Dec. 6.

Also featured will be the Abilene High School’s Pure Gold show choir and the Abilene Philharmonic Orchestra.

Utecht will sing songs from his Dove Award win-ning album, “Christmas Hope.”

There will be two shows which will include a mati-nee at 3 p.m. that is priced for families to attend. Gen-

eral admission tickets cost $5 for children, $10 for college students, military personnel and senior citi-zens and $15 for adults.

The evening concert is at 7:30 p.m. and reserved seating seats cost from $18 to $42 .

Santa Claus will be available prior to both the matinee and evening per-formances.

Utecht played his col-lege football at the Uni-versity of Minnesota and played in four bowl games and often sang the Nation-al Anthem for Minnesota sporting events. He also

had the privilege of sing-ing at the White House for President George W. Bush in 2002.

Utecht joined the In-dianapolis Colts in 2004 and they beat the Chicago Bears in the 2006 Super Bowl XLI. “To find your-self in the Super Bowl, the clock counts down to zero and you just stand there and your life flashes before you,” Utecht said. “You think of all those memo-ries playing football in the fourth grade and here you are with a championship ring on and ask yourself, Did this really happen?”

With holiday supplies already covering the store shelves, individuals, fami-lies, churches and groups in and around Brecken-ridge are working to make Christmas a reality for kids in need around the world by filling shoeboxes with toys, school supplies, hygiene items and notes of encouragement.

Especially during No-vember, Operation Christ-mas Child is moving into high gear while Breck-enridge-area volunteers prepare to collect 12,000 gift-filled shoeboxes dur-ing National Collection Week, Nov.17–24.

The Breckenridge Col-lection site will be the Church of Breckenridge at 405 Sunset. Pickup times are: 3-6 p.m. Mon-day through Friday, Nov. 17-21; 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Sat-urday, Nov. 22; 3-6 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 23; and 10 a.m.-noon Monday, Nov. 24.

At the Church of Breck-

enridge, for example, any-one can drop off a gift-filled shoebox to send to a child overseas.

On arrival, using what-ever means necessary—trucks, trains, boats, bikes and even elephants—the shoebox gifts will then be hand-delivered to chil-dren worldwide.

For many children, this shoebox gift will be the first gift they have ever received. A full list of col-lection locations can be found online.

Though the shoebox gifts will often travel thousands of miles, us-ing special tracking tech-nology, participants can follow their boxes online and discover the country to which their gifts will be delivered to children in need.

To register a shoebox gift, use the online dona-tion form at samaritans-purse.org.

Operation Christmas Child has collected and

delivered more than 113 million shoebox gifts to suffering children in more than 150 countries since 1993, and hopes to collect another 9.9 million gift-filled shoeboxes in 2014. Operation Christmas Child is a project of Sa-maritan’s Purse, an inter-national Christian relief and evangelism organiza-tion headed by Franklin Graham.

For more information about how to participate in Operation Christmas Child, call 800-353-5949 or visit samaritanspurse.org. National Collection Week for gift-filled shoe-boxes is Nov. 17-24; how-ever, shoebox gifts are collected all year at the Samaritan’s Purse head-quarters in Boone, N.C.

Participants can also build a shoebox through an online tool offering a personalized and conve-nient way to send a gift to a child in one of the hard-est-to-reach countries.

History in the MakingLady Bucks make first regional appearance since 1992

By BRANT THURMONDsports@breckenridgeamerican.com

The Breckenridge Lady Buckaroos volleyball team continued to write their names in the BHS record books Tuesday evening with a four set win over the Dublin Lady Lions, 25-20, 25-18, 21-25, 25-14.

The win advanced the Lady Bucks to the Class 3A Region I Tournament in Abilene.

If one were to think back to the last time the Breckenridge Lady Bucka-roo volleyball team made a trip to the R e g i o n a l tournament, they would be thinking for a while.

To put into p e r s p e c t i v e how long it has been, the senior players on this year’s team were not born yet.

The last time the Lady Bucks made it to the Re-gional Tournament was in 1992.

Jeana Yarbrough, who is in her first year as head coach after serving as an assistant coach under Victoria Dudgeon in 2013, was ecstatic following Tuesday’s win.

“It it beyond my wild-est dreams to be able to coach the girls to the re-gional tournament,” said Yarbrough. “We felt like last year that we kind of got robbed from that (Vic-toria Dudgeon and I). We left unfinished business last year and that has been our motto all year long. We took care of it tonight and got that mon-key off our back.”

Yarbrough credited the offenses ability to move the ball around against a solid Dublin team for the win.

“I thought we moved the ball around well and hit holes that we knew

we would find in their (Dublin) defense,” said Yarbrough. “That is hard to do, especially against Dublin. But we did find holes from time to time.”

After falling in the third set, Yarbrough said the team really picked it up in the fourth set.

“I told the girls in the huddle before the fourth set that ‘we gave them mo-mentum and we have to take it back and leave no doubt,’” said Yarbrough. “We did just that and had good service aces at

cruc ia l t i m e s in the f o u r t h set and j u s t n e v -er let t h e m r e g a i n the mo-m e n -tum.”

S e -nior Carri Yarbrough said that the way the season ended in 2013 and the moto of ‘unfinished busi-ness’ gave the Lady Bucks extra motivation.

“Last year, we really felt like we could have played better in that last game,” said Carri Yar-brough. “This year, we really wanted to push through and take care of that against Dublin. When we did, it was just so gratifying because we knew we had worked so hard for that.”

Carri said Lady Bucks were familiar with Dublin after playing them earlier in the season.

“After we played them (Dublin) early on in the season, we knew they would be hard opponents because they had the big blocks and good hitters, but they also were good defensively.”

“We were prepared for them and knew we had to come out and play our best and eliminate the er-rors we had in the earlier match. When we did that,

“It is beyond my wild-est dreams. We took care of business to-night and got that monkey off our back.” — Jeana Yarbrough,

on RegionalTournamentappearance

we really finished them off.”

The Lady Bucks trailed just once in the first set at 8-6 before tying the score at 10-10.

The score was tied again at 12-12 and from there the Lady Bucks scored four straight points backed by kills from Carri Yarbrough, Cayli Yar-brough and Shelby Lipps.

Dublin came to within three points (20-17) but the Lady Bucks pulled away to win the set 25-20.

Midway through the second set, the Lady Bucks led 13-9, but Dub-lin gained the lead with a 7-1 run, backed by a kill and a block.

The Lady Bucks came back to tie the score at 18-18.

Breckenridge finished the second set with a 7-0 run with the help of two errors by Dublin and a kill by Cayli Yarbrough and a kill by Emma Davis.

The Lady Bucks trailed 14-11 in the third set be-fore a kill by Carri Yar-

brough sparked a 4-0 run to tie the score at 15-15.

The Lady Bucks were unable to gain the lead as Dublin led 22-19.

Breckenridge came to within one point of taking the lead, but it was Dub-lin who was able to come away with the set three win 25-21.

The Lady Bucks start-ed the fourth set on fire and sent a message to the Lady Lions.

With a one point ad-vantage (4-3), Cayli Yar-brough recorded a kill to spark a 6-0 run backed by three errors by Dublin and an extended volley that resulted in a kill by

Kenzie Donaldson. The Lady Bucks never

lost momentum in set four and had a 5-0 run that saw them have their largest lead of the match at 17-7.

The run was led by Kaitlyn Ellis who had two blocks.

The Federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, leasing and financ-

ing of housing. The law also prohibits discriminatory advertising on the basis of race, sex, color, religion, national origin, mental or physical handicap or marital status.

The law covers any potential or actual sale, lease, rental, eviction, price terms, privileges or any service in relation to the sale of or use of housing. The law not only prohibits advertisements which restrict access to housing based on the protected categories, but also prohibits advertise-ments which indicate a preference for or against a person based on a protected category. In some circumstances, the use of local terminology, symbols or directions to real estate for sale or rent may indicate a discriminatory preference.

It is the intent and goal of The Breck-enridge American for each advertiser who wishes to place an advertisement in The Breckenridge American to comply with the Federal Fair Housing Act. Any advertisement which is perceived to contain language contrary to the act will be rejected or changed to remove the offending reference(s).

There may be situations where it is not clear whether particular language is objectionable. Such advertisements should be referred to the publisher for consideration and determination. Under certain circumstances, advertisers may claim that because of the nature of the housing being advertised, they are not subject to Fair Housing laws. Such claims are irrelevant for the purpose of considering advertisements for publica-tion in The Breckenridge American Every housing advertisement published in The Breckenridge American is subject to all provisions of the Federal Fair Housing Act.

(Continued from Page 1)-al items online on Walmart.com and pick them up at the new Breck-enridge Walmart store for free, often as quickly as the same day.

The new store employs approximately 150 full- and part-time associates.

Store manager Pat-rick Jenkins began his Walmart career in 2000 as a tire and lube technician.

“We’re excited to be add-ing a full line of groceries so that we can get you ev-erything you need, includ-ing gas,” said store manag-er Patrick Jenkins. “We’ll be prepared and ready to help you with all of your holiday needs.”

Community GivingThe grand-opening

celebration includes pre-sentations of $6,000 in grants from Walmart to local community groups. Breckenridge High School will receive $1,000, Breck-enridge Fire Department will receive $1,000, Meals on Wheels will receive $1,000, Stephens County Humane Society will re-ceive $500, Our Town will receive $500, Toys for Tots will receive $1,500 and Hubbard Creek Volunteer Fire Department will re-ceive $500.

In addition to the grants given as part of the grand opening, the new store will further Walmart’s pledge to fight hunger in America.

As part of Walmart’s and the Walmart Foundation’s $2 billion commitment to fight hunger through 2015, Walmart stores in Texas donated approximately 59 million pounds of food, in fiscal year 2014, or the equivalent of 49.2 million meals.

Additionally, Walmart and the Walmart Founda-tion gave more than $110.8 million in fiscal year 2014 in Texas alone.

Breckenridge customers will find holiday meal and entertaining essentials, fresh produce and a full line of groceries from lead-ing brand names, includ-ing organic selections.

By working with grow-ers, Walmart is able to pro-vide farm-grown quality produce at added conve-nience and low prices.

In addition to groceries, the store features quality, value-priced general mer-chandise, including elec-tronics, furniture, home decor, automotive, sport-ing goods, home improve-ment and more.

The pharmacy offers a full range of products and services. Pharmacy team members are ready to as-sist customers with prod-uct and prescription ques-tions.

Breckenridge residents can easily transfer pre-scriptions and order refills on the go with the Walmart mobile app for iPhone and Android.

“This is going to have a very dramatic, positive impact on Breckenridge,” said Virgil Moore of the Breckenridge Economic Development Corporation. “First, not only the 60 new jobs that will be a boon to our employment numbers, but the larger store will in-crease the sales taxes and be a tremendous help to Breckenridge. Lastly, the new building will go on the property tax roll for the county which will benefit our county, city, schools and hospital.”

Savings Catcher, the retailer’s new receipt com-parison tool, looks at other top retailers’ local ads and gives customers an eGift card for the difference if a competitor’s offering is lower than the price they paid at Walmart.

The tool gives custom-ers confidence in their purchases and helps elimi-nate the need to shop at multiple stores to find great prices.

Customers can access Savings Catcher through the Walmart mobile app or online at walmart.com/savingscatcher.

From top toys chosen by kids to Walmart’s top 100 gifts and entertain-ing essentials and gifts for the entire family, custom-ers can find more ways to share Christmas joy at the new Breckenridge Walmart and shop an ex-panded assortment on Walmart.com.

Customers can stretch their holiday dollars even further with Walmart’s no opening fee layaway pro-gram.

Layaway eligible items can be secured now through with Dec. 15 to provide another conve-nient and cost-effective way to make the most of the holiday season.*

Walmart is committed to investing $250 billion in products that support American manufacturing over the next 10 years. In Texas, Walmart buys products from Oak Farms Dairy, a Wichita Falls-based manufacturer that produces milk.
