THE ABERNATHY WEEKLY REVIEW VOLUME 84, NUMBER 12 ' @2005 All AISD teacher contracts renewed By Judy Luce After Monday night's Ab- ernathy school board meeting, all employees are scheduled to be back for the 2005-06 school year. All contracts were approved by unanimous deci- sions, 7-0. Teacher contracts were re- newed, as well as those em- ployees with special incre- ments. Those include coaches, band directors and ag teach- ers. Business manager Linda Buf e was also rehired and her salary was increased to $47,000. Other employee salaries will not be set until budget work is done at a meeting in the summer. The purchase of $47,900 worth of band instruments was appro ved. Band director Matt Knight presented a re- port to t he board about the need for two sousaphones, two concert tubas and seven French horns. Last year halfofthe instru- ments needp.d were bought, said superintendent Herb Youngblood. This year's pur- chase will complete the plan. "I think we have to buy them," said Youngblood. Once the numbers participating in band are up, the instruments have to be bought. Bill Du- Bose made the motion to ap- prove the purchase and Don Stone seconded it. The May 7 school board election was officially canceled with a motion by DuBose and . a second by Todd Pope. The positions currentl y held by Stone and Billy Mc- Clenney were up for election. McClenney filed for re-elec- tion . Stone did not . Greg Mendenhall will fill the va- cated position. He was the only other person to file for elec- tion. Not having an election could save the school district approximately $950. That is what was spent on last year's election. The co nstitution for the cheerleading program was ap- proved. Only a few changes were made to the previous handbook. The new one provides for both junior varsity and var- sity squads in the high school. The varsity squad will be made up of six to 14 juniors and seniors. The JV will be four to 12 freshmen and sophomores. The girls previously on the varsity will be "grandfathered", said Young- blood . If they are a freshman this year and currently on the squad, they will be on the var- sity squad for the 2005-06 school year. "I don't think they need that many," said Larry Bryant, re- ferringto the number ofcheer- leaders on a squad. "I think the numbers are good, if the girls qualify," said DuBose. In order to be a cheerleader the candidates must tryout before a group of judges, re- ceive high scores from teacher evaluations and receive votes from the student body. Results from a recent read- ing TAKS test taken at the elementary were announced at the meeting. The third grad- ers had 95 percent passing, compared to 89 percent in the state. Fifth grade had 85 per- cent pass locally and 75 per- cent passed statewide. In a report about the work being done on the middle school, Youngblood said the sandblasting had been com- pleted on the brick inside the building. There is still a little black on the bricks, but the smoke smell is gone. The library is expected to be ready for the 2005-06 school year and the downstairs por- tion of the school will be ready for use in November or De- cember. Two student transfers were approved at the meeting. Stu- dents entering the district are in the first and seventh grades. The enrollment report showed 759 students currently enrolled in Abernathy ISD. There are 389 in the elemen- tary; 166 in the middle school and 204 in the high school. The lunchroom report showed an average of110 stu- dents eating breakfast in 19 days and 417 students eating lunch. (See AISD Budget, page 4) Church events First Church of the Nazarene 4 p.m., Sat.

All AISD teacher contracts renewed

By Judy Luce After Monday night's Ab­

ernathy school board meeting, all employees are scheduled to be back for the 2005-06 school year. All contracts were approved by unanimous deci­sions, 7-0.

Teacher contracts were re­newed, as well as those em­ployees with special incre­ments. Those include coaches, band directors and ag teach­ers.

Business manager Linda Bufe was also rehired and her salary was increased to $47,000.

Other employee salaries will not be set until budget work is done at a meeting in the summer.

The purchase of $47,900 worth of band instruments was approved. Band director Matt Knight presented a re­port to the board about the need for two sousaphones, two concert tubas and seven French horns.

Last year halfofthe instru­ments needp.d were bought, said superintendent Herb Youngblood. This year's pur­chase will complete the plan.

"I think we have to buy them," said Youngblood. Once the numbers participating in band are up, the instruments have to be bought. Bill Du­Bose made the motion to ap­prove the purchase and Don Stone seconded it.

The May 7 school board election was officially canceled with a motion by DuBose and

. a second by Todd Pope. The positions currently

held by Stone and Billy Mc­Clenney were up for election. McClenney filed for re-elec­tion . Stone did not. Greg Mendenhall will fill the va­cated position. He was the only other person to file for elec­tion.

Not having an election could save the school district approximately $950. That is what was spent on last year's election.

The constitution for the cheerleading program was ap­proved. Only a few changes were made to the previous handbook.

The new one provides for

both junior varsity and var­sity squads in the high school. The varsity squad will be made up of six to 14 juniors and seniors. The JV will be four to 12 freshmen and sophomores.

The girls previously on the varsity will be "grandfathered", said Young­blood. If they are a freshman this year and currently on the squad, they will be on the var­sity squad for the 2005-06 school year.

"I don't think they need that many," said Larry Bryant, re­ferringto the number of cheer­leaders on a squad.

Women and Social Security By Mary Jane Shanes

Social Security Manage r in P la inview

(March is Women's History Month. The following column examines how the nation 's Social Security program af­fects American women.)

March is Women's History

New Arrival

MacKenna Breanne

Aaron a~~ger Noland of Abernathy announce the ar­rival of their daughter, MacKenna Breanne Noland. She was born Mar. 20 at 12:44 p.m. at Covenant Hospital in L ubbock and weighed 5 pounds and 12 ounces.

Maternal grandparents are Bill and Vicki Teakell of Aber­nathy and Darrell and J ana Christian of Dallas.

Paternal grandparents are Larry and Gail' Noland of Gainsvi lle.

Maternal great-grandpar­ents are Mac and the late Bar­bara Teakell of Abernathy and Marian and the late John Stone of Midland.

Maternal great-grandpar­ents are Ronnie and Linda Ch ristian of Stanton and J ack Ch ristian of Lubbock.

Month - a time to focus not just on the past, but on the challenges women continue to face in the 21st century.

Social Security plays a vi­tal role in the lives of women. With longer life expectancies than men, elderly women tend to live more years in retire­men t and have a greater chance of exhausting other sources of income. Today, women represent 58 per cent of all Social Security benefi­ciaries age 62 an d older and approximately 70 percent of beneficiaries age 85 and older.

In terms of benefits, Social Security treats individuals with identical earnings histo­ries the same, regardless of th eir gender. But the unique challenges faced by career women include time away from the office to raise a fam­ily and, although we've made significant strides in recent years, the proverbial glass ceil­ing. For example, the median earnings of full -time women workers in 2002 were $30,203, compared to $39,429 for men.

As a result, experts gener­ally agree that if women want to ensure that t heir retirement years are comfortable, they need to plan early and wisely.

What you c an do

The best place to begin is by knowing what you can ex­pect to receive from Social Security ... and how much more you are likely to need.

Each year, every worker age 25 and older is mailed a Social Security Statement . Read it carefully because it contains information vital to your personal financial future. It shows how much you and your family can expect to re­ceive from Social Security when you retire, or if you be­come disabled or die.

You should also visit Social Security's financial planning webs ite at www.socialsecurity.gov/plan­ners. You can use the calcula­tors there to test different re­tirement ages or differentsce­narios for future earnings amounts. It also provides de­tailed information about how marriage, widowhood, divorce, self-employment, government service and other life or career events can affect your Social Security. And it includes a link to a non-Social Security work­sheet that will help you decide how much you need to save and invest on your own to en­sure a comfortable retirement.

Jfyou want more informa­tion about the role of Social Security in women's lives to ­day, Social Security also has a booklet that you may find use­fu l. It is called Social Security: What Every Woman Should Know. You can find it online at www.socialsecurity.gov/ pubsllO 127 .html.

Retirement and quality of life By Debra Pugh

You have worked for years and years; sometimes at ajob you did not enjoy, just to be able to reach a certain age to draw a retirement paycheck andlor a social security check. Sometimes the only thing that kept you sane and gave you the ability to crawl out of bed each morning to go to work was being able to day dream about what you would do when you retired. But what if when you finally reached that magi­cal retirement age,Your health declined and you could not physically do all of the things you had dreamed about for the past several decades? Many chronic problems such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, dia­betes, c\epression, fatigue, water retention, obesity, or just minor aches and pains can be alleviated or lessened with a few lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, healthy eating and drinking the right amount of water.

Exercise There are many studies

done all over the world that show that stretching, lifting weights and cardiovascular training can prove to be ben­eficial to our health. The mini­mum amount of cardiovascu­lar exercise should be 30 min­utes 3 times a week. Cardia exercises can be anything that" keeps the heart rate in your itraining zone or target heart rate, which is based on your age and maximum heart rate. (Please speak to a personal trainer to calculate this rate for it is different for each per­son). Of course if weight loss is your goal , then the cardio session needs to be 5-6 days a week. Always consult your physician before you start an exercise program.

Nutrition The US Department of Ag­

riculture suggests that we need to ea t 2-3 servings of fruits, 3-4 servings of veg­etables, and 2-3 servings of protein each day to help us to have a healthy body. It would be very beneficial to eat as many servings of raw foods as possible, which are packed

with very valuable and neces­sary enzymes. Studies show that the lack of enzymes can cause many symptoms and syndromes such as chronic allergies, chronic fatigue, si­nus infections, fibromyalgia , weakness, arthritis, hypogly­cemia, PMS, hot flashes, in­somnia , and many, many more. Check with a certified nutritionist for advice on ex­tra vitamins, minerals, and enzymes if needed, or added supplements to get rid of the many toxic chemicals in your body.

Water The very minimum amount

of water our bodies need is 64 ounces each day. Manypeople require more than this, espe­cially with certain health con­ditions. Water is needed to help digest and metabolize food.Onceitisdigested,more water is needed to deliver the vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, and enzymes to the cells in the body.

Debra Pugh is a certified nutritionist and certified per­sonal trainer in Abernathy.
