Park Forest, IL–(ENEWSPF)–Editor's Note: We continue our reporting on news from police reports. Besides covering the many stories from around Park Forest that otherwise might go unnoticed, we want to bring more complete coverage of police reports than is reported by other local media.
An arrest does not mean that a person is guilty. All those arrested are presumed innocent until proven guilty. It is the policy of eNews Park Forest to not remove items in the public record from publication. If your name is listed in the police reports, we will only add information relevant to the final disposition of the case at hand, e.g. "Mr. Smith was subsequently acquitted," "Mr. Smith entered a guilty plea," or "All charges against Mr. Smith were subsequently dropped." We will do so upon receiving and verifying proof of such disposition.
Persons wishing to leave anonymous information on any criminal matters including narcotics or gang activity are encouraged to call 708-748-1309 and leave a message on Detective Beilke's voice mail.

At age 73, George Clinton continues his life's mission to save this dying world from its funkless hell. He and the dozen or so members of Parliament Funkadelic who sprawled across the stage Wednesday night at the Ardmore Music Hall did more than their fair share to fight this good fight during a robust show that stretched on for more than 2 1/2 hours.
A packed house that at 10 p.m. was eagerly chanting along with the battle cry of "Give up the funk" was left exhausted a little past midnight, much of the crowd having had their fill of the funk long before the septuagenarian bandleader was through giving it up.

We've told you about Ride 2 Recovery before, but this week's ride is really special. They began their ride on Memorial Day at Fort Myer's Whipple Field, these wounded warriors. And along the 350-mile trek they're being joined by special guest riders, including Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. Gary Roughead, Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. George Casey Jr., and the USO's own Sloan Gibson.
"I stepped on a land mine in Vietnam," said Jim Penseyres to News Channel 8. Jim Penseyres returned from Vietnam without a leg. He transformed himself into an elite ultramarathon cyclist, who for the next several days will steer for Commander Scotty Smiley. "Oh, this is great. This is what I've waited 42 years to do," shared Penseyres. "It's a continual recovery process. I think every day we take one foot and step it in front of the other, that we are continuing in that recovery," said Smiley.
<!–PARA13!–>Over the course of six days, the riders will travel through Mt. Vernon, Manassas, Richmond, and end their journey in Virginia Beach on Saturday. You can follow along at home, and even download GPS maps of their routes, by following Ride 2 Recovery's Facebook page. Ride safe and strong, everyone!

Schools - Rock Port R-Ii- Cafeteria - Ravenwood, MO - Phone: (660) 744-5710
A cafeteria in Ravenwood is a type of food service site, where there is little or no waiting staff table service. It might be in a restaurant or within an organization such as a large office building or school. Cafeterias in Ravenwood are generally different from the popular coffeehouses. In cafeterias, instead of table service, there are food-serving counters/booths and also one will find a queue or arbitrary walking paths for customers to line up and order for food and beverages. Customers take the food they require, place it on a tray and walk along to a place to sit. As these cafeterias require few employees, they are often established within a larger organization, catering to the customers of that organization.

Lancaster's F3 Nation workout group for men has expanded its Saturday daybreak workouts to Wednesdays on Main Street, and a women's group might be coming soon.
Wednesday morning's turnout was 18, including five new to F3. They met in the Lancaster County Administrative Building parking lot at 5:15 a.m. for an hour-long workout.
Jamie Jones, from F3 Rock Hill, led the workouts up and down Main Street. Jones, known as Apache to his F3 brothers, said the turnout exceeded his expectations.

The gasoline shortage that hit Lancaster County hard over the weekend and has lingered since should start easing in the next few days, according to the S.C. Emergency Management Division.
On Tuesday, Colonial Pipeline in Alabama, whose leaking pipeline cut gas supplies across the Southeast, announced that it had finished bypassing the damaged section and gas should start flowing through the pipeline again today.
A three-vehicle wreck on S.C. 9 in eastern Lancaster County killed a Pageland woman, injured a Kershaw woman and closed the highway for at least four hours Wednesday.
Norma Jean Plyler Moree, 69, of Pageland died in the accident, which occurred near Earnhardt Lane about 4 miles east of Buford Crossroads, according to S.C. Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Gary Miller.
Miller said Moree was following a tractor trailer west on S.C. 9 at 10:24 a.m. in a 2011 Toyota Camry when Heather Marie Rollings, 23, of Kershaw crossed the center line in a 2002 GMC pickup traveling east.
In reference to Dianne T. Evans' column that took exception to my saying, "Where did that garbage come from… psychology 101?" about a Phil Noble article, I reply with this.
It is an understood saying that means the person doesn't know what he's talking about and is trying to use psychology, even though he's either a novice or has no experience in the field at all. It meant Mr. Noble was trying to sound intelligent in the art of psychology, but had little knowledge of it.
As a little girl, Teresa Jennette Faulk stripped her dolls down to their bare plastic skin and sat on the floor with her mom, armed with a sharp pair of scissors, a vivid imagination and pile of old clothes.
Teresa could see the new clothes in her mind. Together, she and her mom cut scraps from their discarded wardrobe to make new, fashionable outfits for the dolls.
"I cared more about the clothes than the dolls," Faulk recalls.
KERSHAW – Kershaw Town Council unanimously named Mitch Lucas town administrator this week, six months after he stepped into the job on an interim basis when the previous administrator left in a rush.
This continues Lucas' long-running service to Kershaw. He was a town council member from 1987-97 and mayor from April 1999 to June 2000. He retired in 2008 as the human resources director for the Lancaster County School District.
A crowd of more than 200 gathered Friday night to salute the J. Marion Sims Foundation's 20 years of grant-making to agencies serving the residents of Lancaster County, Fort Lawn and Great Falls.
Those grants have totaled more than $50 million to 108 nonprofit and government agencies over the two decades, and the charitable foundation's $70 million in current assets make it the eighth largest in South Carolina.
An Indian Land apartment development twice rejected by the Lancaster County Planning Commission will take its case directly to county council members Monday night, asking them to overrule the planning board.
The council will hear an appeal from Two Capital, which wants to build 313 apartments at the intersection of S.C. 160 and Calvin Hall Road.
The planning commission denied Two Capital's plan because of traffic and architectural design issues, both in violation of the Unified Development Ordinance, according to Jerry Holt, the commission's vice chair.
Lancaster County Council has shifted the usually slow gears of government into high, trying to take advantage of a deal on the new 800 MHz radios that the county needs to join the new statewide Palmetto 800 system.
Council has called a special meeting for Thursday morning to consider a resolution allowing the county to sign a purchase order by Friday to seal a deal on the radios that would save $1.1 million. The cost would be $3.5 million, down from an expected $4.6 million.
Lancaster County's United Methodist Churches have joined together to place the daily devotional book "Strength for Service" in the hands of every first responder in the county.
This edition of the book, a collection of inspirational passages that Methodists first started sending out during World War II, includes the story of a Lancaster sheriff's deputy wounded in 2011.

Holiday Pall: Joblessness Crisis Intensifies
Carl Bloice: The average period of unemployment now exceeds 26 weeks, well above the previous peak in July 1983 of just 21.2 weeks. This is critical because the longer that people of any age are out of work, the less likely they are to find another job.

Robert Reich: So the best of all worlds is to have a big jobs plan now, and also commit to automatic cuts triggered when unemployment falls to 5 percent.

Republican Double-Dip: What Must Be Done

Robert Reich: It's no accident that President Obama appears to be following the Clinton script. After all, it worked.

Where are the screenings held?
All screenings will be held at The Shwayder Center at the MACC. 350 South Dahlia Street, Denver, CO 80246. (Map, Get Directions)
What makes a film Jewish?
There is not simple answer to this simple question. Like many things Jewish, this is a topic that has been hotly debated. The Denver Jewish Film Festival presents films that illuminate the human experience from a Jewish perspective, or present a topic of interest to the Jewish community. Primarily focused on contemporary film, the festival presents a variety of genres probing Jewish identity, history, culture and experience. The selection of films simultaneously reveals the great diversity and complexity of the Jewish people and the universality of the themes that unite all people.
How are films selected for the festival?
This is a complex process that takes staff and volunteers many months. There are two main tracks by which a film can come to our attention.
1.) Looking to other festivals across the globe, working with our connections with film distributors, conducting extensive research, and accepting recommendations from the community, our festival director requests films for previewing.
2.) We also have an open call for submissions, by which any filmmaker can submit a film. Our selection committee prescreens and evaluates the films and meets throughout the summer and early fall to discuss and evaluate them.
Submission forms, guidelines, and deadline information is available on our on our Submission page.
I was not able to see a film. Can you show it again, can I purchase a DVD or can I see it somewhere else?
We do not own the films that we are showing. Like movie theatres, we rent them and pay for a specific number of screenings…generally one or two. The next day, we pack up the film, and send it off to its next destination. We have to set our schedule in October. So, we can not just add a screening at the last minute. Generally, we do not screen films that are publicly available on DVD, but they may become available in the future. Some of the films that we screen may open commercially. If a film is very popular at our festival, sometimes we can often work with the Denver Film Society to arrange an encore screening at a later date.
Why don't you have multiple screenings of more films?
Our schedule limits us to screening about 18 to 20 films. So, every time we screen a film twice, it means that there is another wonderful film that we are not able to include in the festival at all.
Why does the festival include films that show Jews and Israel in a negative light?
The festival previews many films and tries to select films on a variety of topics on relevant themes including contemporary issues. With the goal of cultivating tolerance and awareness through education, dialog, and celebration we believe it is important to include films that encourage us to confront perspectives that we may not share, or that may make us uncomfortable if these issues are of relevance to the global Jewish community. In the spirit of tikkun olam, we have a responsibility to provide an environment for individuals to participate in thoughtful conversation on complex issues.
I don't see ratings on these films. How do I know if a film is suitable for children?
The films that we show are typically not rated by the Motion Picture Association for a variety of reasons. Our films are often international or independent releases, and we generally screen films prior to commercial release. Our film descriptions should provide information to help you decide the appropriateness of any given film. And, while we can not rate a film, festival staff members are always happy to discuss any film with you. In the end, however, only you can decide what is appropriate for your own family.
Why do you show the films at MACC instead of at a commercial theatre?
There are several reasons that we screen films here at MACC. First and foremost is that unlike many Jewish film festivals, we are lucky enough to have our own theatre equipped with a professional 35mm projector, and capable of screening a wide range of other professional formats. This enables us to keep our expenses down, therefore making it possible for us to bring more films to the public. Also, with such a large public event, we are pleased to be able to host it at MACC and introduce new people to our facilities and wide range of programs that are offered here.
Why don't you run the festival over several weekends instead of through the week? I have trouble making it weekday screenings.
By presenting the films over the course of 10 days we create the emotional intensity and thrill of a film festival. Presenting a number of films over the course of several weekends would be more like a film series rather than a festival, which could be nice, but would be something quite different. The festival format is proving to work quite well, with people anticipating the annual event which begins the Thursday after the Super Bowl. Our weekday screenings are often as well attended as our weekend screenings. So, mark your calendars in advance!
Why do some films have programs after them and others don't?
Working within the parameters of our given time frame and budget, our staff and core of volunteers try to anticipate which films are best presented with some supporting programming such as a talk back with the director. Time and budget simply do not allow for us to do this with every film, and it might become a bit tedious if we did.
What is your seating policy?
When the doors open, our sponsors are seated first. All seats are general admission and available on a first come, first served basis. However, between screenings we must ask everyone to leave the theatre as our technical crew needs to conduct the sound check in quiet theatre. We do allow people to leave their coats on their seats, but ask people not to save seats for others who are not present. You can help our festival to run on time by leaving the theatre quickly at the end of each screening. When people do not leave the theatre, we can not begin the sound check, and the next program is delayed.
I love the festival and want to help it continue. How can I become a sponsor?
It takes a great many sponsors to make this festival happen and to present the fine quality films that the DJFF has become known for. We welcome your support. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor or would like more information about sponsorship opportunities, please call our festival director at (303) 316-6319.
I love the festival and want to help it continue. How do I become a volunteer?
A tremendous volunteer effort is behind each DJFF. Our brilliant volunteer team share their time and expertise to assist with almost everything. Volunteers play key roles with fundraising, ticket selling, marketing, event planning, ushering, tallying ballots, meeting and greeting, hosting special events, and shuttling our guest speakers. To inquire about volunteer opportunities, please contact our festival director at (303) 316-6319.

Why Writing About Science Seems Like Little More Than PR
"Think about it. For every article singing the praises of new science, how often do you see one that is critical? Not often. Unless you're talking about eugenics or fission bombs, a new scientific result or technology is almost always treated as an unequivocally good thing."

What Machine Learning Is Teaching Us About How We Learn
"By bringing the tools of computation and machine intuition to the table, AI researchers are giving us a more complete picture of how we learn. They are also broadening the study of education to include quantitative, numerical models of the learning process itself. "The thing that AI brings to the table is that it forces us to get into the details of how everything works," says John Laird, a computer scientist at the University of Michigan. If there was any doubt that good teachers are important, machine learning is helping put it to rest."

The Currency Of Feelings – What's It Worth To You?
"The primacy of feelings in our economy has given rise to a new field of scholarly inquiry. 'Affect studies' refers to humanistic and social-scientific investigations of the ways that feelings are generated, experienced, and interpreted. An affect is a particular kind of feeling, one distinct from an emotion. For academics in the field, affects are feelings that reside not in individual people but in social groups, institutions, or physical spaces."

The Next Big Intellectual Revolution Is Coming
All of the past "justice revolutions" have stemmed from improved communications. Oppression thrives on distance, on not actually meeting or seeing the oppressed. The next revolution will not abolish the consequences of place of birth, but the privileges of nationhood will be tempered. While the rise in anti-immigrant sentiment around the world today seems to point in the opposite direction, the sense of injustice will be amplified as communications continue to grow. Ultimately, recognition of wrong will wreak big changes.

Jacques d'Amboise – Still Dancing At 82
"I danced for a long time before I asked myself the question," he says. The question being, "What is dance?" He now thinks it's "an invention by human beings to express space and time…to express wonder and emotion by losing control in how we move in time." Needless to say, that's something everyone should have in life, in some form, at some time or another. It's so obvious to D'Amboise he never even says that.

Where Are The Women Artists? Not Here (And Maybe They Shouldn't Be?)
The first major survey of abstract expressionism since 1959, which has just opened at the Royal Academy, has been accused of displaying too much testosterone. Commentary developed on social media from early visitors asking: "Where were the women?" But what exactly were they expecting? The telling word from the critic is "few". There were not many women in the movement to be included in the first place.

"A writer has the right to inhabit any character she pleases — she's always had it and will continue to have it.

Leverage Marketing Automation + CRM to provide sales and marketers real-time engagement & lead visibility.
Professional Services & Development
Focus Area: CRM, Marketing Cloud & Sales Driven Organizations
Streamline communications that drive
commerce & affect the Revenue Cycle.
Businesses have invested in CRM, email and social media marketing, and more recently Marketing Automation suites with little visibility into the entire process from campaign to lead through conversion activity. We leverage existing investments in other technology platforms by providing centralized lead and customer profiles that measure interactions across multi-communication channels. Our solutions provide real-time analytics to multiple constituents involved in the top of the marketing and sales funnel.
Communicating with large lead and customer data sets often leaves voids in key areas and data points associated across sales, marketing, operations and client facing employees. These voids result in an incomplete picture of engagement across different internal company departments. This causes missed opportunities in the acquisition, cross-sell and retention phases of customer lifecycle engagement, and deteriorates customer lifetime value. Our solutions provide real-time activity streams that orchestrate marketing and sales communications to provide a single view for better engagement, regardless of when and where prospective customer and existing customers interact with your brand.
You have worked hard to gain, acquire and grow new customers. One of the most over looked areas in organizations today is Customer Lifecycle Management. Leading organizations invest 50% or more of marketing budgets to retain and sell more to existing customers. However, the majority fall short due to lack of focus on existing customers. It requires new investments in technology and human capital to maximize Customer Lifetime Value. Our business was designed from the ground up to address the needs of Customer Lifecycle Management through our own methodology called CARE — Consumption, Adoption, Retention, Revenue Growth and Engagement. Our solutions help manage the entire lifecycle to ensure your customer relationship investments are creating the results you need. We help you sustain an equal balance of new customers and existing customers, and create the financial results needed to thrive in today's highly competitive market.
A business cannot survive without an effective marketing strategy. Regardless of how breakthrough the service is or how innovative the product may be, if it doesn't target the right consumer, the business will never succeed.

Jacques-antoine-hippolyte, Comte De Guibert: Father of the Grande Armée
Date: August 2014
Creator: Abel, Jonathan
Description: Jacques-Antoine-Hippolyte, comte de Guibert (1743-1790) dedicated his life and career to creating a new doctrine for the French army. Little about this doctrine was revolutionary. Indeed, Guibert openly decried the anarchy of popular participation in government and looked askance at the early days of the Revolution. Rather, Guibert's doctrine marked the culmination of an evolutionary process that commenced decades before his time and reached fruition in the Réglement of 1791, which remained in force until the 1830s. Not content with military reform, Guibert demanded a political and social constitution to match. His reforms required these changes, demanding a disciplined, service-oriented society and a functional, rational government to assist his reformed military. He delved deeply, like no other contemporary writer, into the linkages between society, politics, and the military throughout his career and his writings. Guibert exerted an overwhelming influence on military thought across Europe for the next fifty years. His military theories provided the foundation for military reform during the twilight of the Old Regime. The Revolution, which adopted most of Guibert's doctrine in 1791, continued his work. A new army and way of war based on Guibert's reforms emerged to defeat France's major enemies. In Napoleon's hands, Guibert's army ...

Capital Ships, Commerce, and Coalition: British Strategy in the Mediterranean Theater, 1793
Date: August 2014
Creator: Baker, William C.
Description: In 1793, Great Britain embarked on a war against Revolutionary France to reestablish a balance of power in Europe. Traditional assessments among historians consider British war planning at the ministerial level during the First Coalition to be incompetent and haphazard. This work reassesses decision making of the leading strategists in the British Cabinet in the development of a theater in the Mediterranean by examining political, diplomatic, and military influences. William Pitt the Younger and his controlling ministers pursued a conservative strategy in the Mediterranean, reliant on Allies in the region to contain French armies and ideas inside the Alps and the Pyrenees. Dependent on British naval power, the Cabinet sought to weaken the French war effort by targeting trade in the region. Throughout the first half of 1793, the British government remained fixed on this conservative, traditional approach to France. However, with the fall of Toulon in August of 1793, decisions made by Admiral Samuel Hood in command of forces in the Mediterranean radicalized British policy towards the Revolution while undermining the construct of the Coalition. The inconsistencies in strategic thought political decisions created stagnation, wasting the opportunities gained by the Counter-revolutionary movements in southern France. As a result, reinvigorated ...

A Century of Overproduction in American Agriculture
Date: August 2014
Creator: Ruffing, Jason L.
Description: American agriculture in the twentieth century underwent immense transformations. The triumphs in agriculture are emblematic of post-war American progress and expansion but do not accurately depict the evolution of American agriculture throughout an entire century of agricultural depression and economic failure. Some characteristics of this evolution are unprecedented efficiency in terms of output per capita, rapid industrialization and mechanization, the gradual slip of agriculture's portion of GNP, and an exodus of millions of farmers from agriculture leading to fewer and larger farms. The purpose of this thesis is to provide an environmental history and political ecology of overproduction, which has lead to constant surpluses, federal price and subsidy intervention, and environmental concerns about sustainability and food safety. This project explores the political economy of output maximization during these years, roughly from WWI through the present, studying various environmental, economic, and social effects of overproduction and output maximization. The complex eco system of modern agriculture is heavily impacted by the political and economic systems in which it is intrinsically embedded, obfuscating hopes of food and agricultural reforms on many different levels. Overproduction and surplus are central to modern agriculture and to the food that has fueled American bodies for decades. Studying ...

Joaquín De Arredondo in Texas and Northeastern New Spain, 1811-1821
Date: August 2014
Creator: Folsom, Bradley
Description: Joaquín de Arredondo was the most powerful and influential person in northeastern New Spain from 1811 to 1821. His rise to prominence began in 1811 when the Spanish military officer and a small royalist army suppressed Miguel Hidalgo's revolution in the province of Nuevo Santander. This prompted the Spanish government to promote Arredondo to Commandant General of the Eastern Internal Provinces, making him the foremost civil and military authority in northeastern New Spain. Arredondo's tenure as commandant general proved difficult, as he had to deal with insurgents, invaders from the United States, hostile Indians, pirates, and smugglers. Because warfare in Europe siphoned much needed military and financial support, and disagreements with New Spain's leadership resulted in reductions of the commandant general's authority, Arredondo confronted these threats with little assistance from the Spanish government. In spite of these obstacles, he maintained royalist control of New Spain from 1811 to 1821, and, in doing so, changed the course of Texas, Mexican, and United States history. In 1813, he defeated insurgents and American invaders at the Battle of Medina, and from 1817 to 1820, his forces stopped Xavier Mina's attempt to bring independence to New Spain, prevented French exiles from establishing a colony ...

Weeding Out the Undesirables: the Red Scare in Texas Higher Education, 1936-1958
Date: August 2014
Creator: Bynum, Katherine E.
Description: When the national Democratic Party began to transform to progressive era politics because of the New Deal, conservative reactionaries turned against the social welfare programs and used red scare tactics to discredit liberal and progressive New Deal Democrat professors in higher education. This process continued during the Second World War, when the conservatives in Texas lumped fascism and communism in order to anchor support and fire and threaten professors and administrators for advocating or teaching "subversive doctrine." In 1948 Texas joined other southern states and followed the Dixiecrat movement designed to return the Democratic Party to its original pro-business and segregationist philosophy. Conservatives who wanted to bolster their Cold Warrior status in Texas also played upon the fears of spreading communism during the Cold War, and passed several repressive laws intended to silence unruly students and entrap professors by claiming they advocated communist doctrine. The fight culminated during the Civil Rights movement, when conservatives in the state attributed subversive or communist behavior to civil rights organizations, and targeted higher education to protect segregated universities. In order to return the national Democratic Party to the pro-business, segregationist philosophy established at the early twentieth century, conservatives used redbaiting tactics to thwart the ...

A Pre-professional Institution: Napoleon's Marshalate and the Defeat of 1813
Date: August 2014
Creator: Smith, Eric C.
Description: Napoleon's defeat in 1813 generates a number of explanations from historians regarding why he lost this epic campaign which ultimately resulted in France losing control over the German states. Scholars discussing the French marshalate of the Napoleonic era frequently assert that these generals could not win battles without the emperor present. Accustomed to assuming a subordinate role under Bonaparte's direct supervision, these commanders faltered when deprived of the strong hand of the master. This thesis contributes to this historiographical argument by positing that the pre-professional nature of Napoleon's marshalate precluded them from adapting to the evolving nature of warfare during the First French Empire. Emerging from non-military backgrounds and deriving their capabilities solely from practical experience, the marshals failed to succeed at endeavors outside of their capacity. An examination of the military administration of the Old Regime, the effects of the French Revolution on the French generalate, and the circumstances under which Bonaparte labored when creating the imperial marshalate demonstrates that issues systemic to the French high command contributed to French defeat in 1813. This thesis also provides evidence that Napoleon understood this problem and attempted to better prepare his marshals for independent command by instructing them in his way ...

George S Patton Jr and the Lost Cause Legacy
Date: August 2014
Creator: Rodriguez, Ismael
Description: Historians have done their duty in commemorating an individual who was, as Sidney Hook's Hero in History would describe, an "event making-man." A myriad of works focused on understanding the martial effort behind George S. Patton Jr. from his ancestral lineage rooted in military tradition to his triumph during the Second World War. What is yet to be understood about Patton, however, is the role that the Civil War played in his transformation into one of America's iconic generals. For Patton, the Lost Cause legacy, one that idealized the image of the Confederate soldier in terms of personal honor, courage, and duty, became the seed for his preoccupation for glory.

Reckoning in the Redlands: the Texas Rangers' Clean-up of San Augustine in 1935
Date: December 2014
Creator: Ginn, Jody Edward
Description: The subject of this manuscript is the Texas Rangers "clean-up" of San Augustine, which was undertaken between late January 1935 until approximately July 1936 at the direction of then newly-elected Governor James V. Allred, in response to the local "troubles" that arose from an near decade long "crime wave." Allred had been elected on a platform advocating dramatic reform of state law enforcement, and the success of the "clean-up" was heralded as validation of those reforms, which included the creation of – and the Rangers' integration into – the Texas Department of Public Safety that same year. Despite such historic significance for the community of San Augustine, the state, and the Texas Rangers, no detailed account has ever been published. The few existing published accounts are terse, vague, and inadequate to address the relevant issues. They are often also overly reliant on limited oral accounts and substantially factually flawed, thereby rendering their interpretive analysis moot in regard to certain issues. Additionally, it is a period of San Augustine's history that haunts that community to this day, particularly as a result of the wide-ranging myths that have taken hold in the absence of a thoroughly researched and documented published account.

Colonization of the East Texas Timber Region Before 1848
Date: August 1939
Creator: Baker, Willie Gene
Description: For many years adventurers from Spain and France had explored Texas. For about fifty years Spain had tried to civilize and Christianize the Indians in East Texas. Finally the Spanish government had abolished the missions and presidios. During the following fifty years, very little had been done toward colonization in Texas. In 1821, Texas was an almost uninhabited country, with the exception of savage Indians. The Anglo-Americans came and changed it into a great state. The East Texas Timber Region has been the gateway through which most of the settlers came to Texas. The settlers who stopped there did their part in establishing the present state of Texas. The East Texans did their part in helping to win freedom from Mexico so they could lay a foundation for American civilization there.

The History of Hardeman County, Texas
Date: August 1949
Creator: Jones, J. Paul
Description: This thesis discusses the creation and history of Hardeman County in the state of Texas. The period of the Texas Republic was one of uncertain and unstable government, and the Red River Municipality thus created in 1835 remained as such for only two years. It was realized by the government that such large political subdivisions would not be easily administered, and by 1837 these municipalities were further divided into counties. The vast territory encompassed by the original boundaries of the Red River Municipality yielded thirty-five counties between 1837 and 1891, including Hardeman. The population of the newly created county was made up entirely of transient pioneers and roving bands of cowboys and cattlemen. The official census did not list a record of any population until 1880, when fifty people were shown as residents.

The Role of the Negro Office Holders in the Reconstruction of the Southwest
Date: August 1954
Creator: Rankin, Dan F.
Description: "Perhaps no phase of American history has been more written about than the Reconstruction period, but few historians seriously consider the role of the Negroes during this period. It is the purpose of this thesis to show the part played by the Negroes during the Reconstruction of the states of Arkansas, Texas, and Louisiana and the factors which led to their ascendancy to political leadership. Most historians give a one-sided view of this period of Reconstruction, playing down the role of the Negroes with the assumption that they were members of an inferior race and incapable of contributing anything constructive to American history. An examination of the facts, however, discloses that the Negroes did contribute a great deal to American history during their brief role in politics. Many of the Negro office holders, usually considered ignorant and illiterate, were well trained and well educated and displayed considerable ability in their particular offices. Contributions of these Negro leaders have merely been obscured by bitterness in partisan politics, and more objective study of Reconstruction will inevitably alter the traditional picture of the Negro political leaders." -- leaf iv.

Although primary significance is placed upon changes in the social order, it is necessary to consider certain political and economic trends that were interwoven into the fabric of social life during Reconstruction --- factors influencing, determining, or evolving from, social changes. In the first chapter is sketched briefly the ante-bellum society of the South, and in following chapters is shown the evolution of social culture during the first twelve years following the Civil War.

Creator: Webb, John W., Jr.
Description: When a new government is established, sovereign and national in its character, all of the land within its jurisdiction belongs to the people, not as individuals, but as a whole, except that which may have been theretofore acquired by individuals under such rights as may be respected by the new government. The land which has not been acquired by individuals is known as the public domain, and is subject to such disposition as the new government might determine. This thesis will review the public lands of Texas and how those lands have been used with a strong focus on the endowment of these lands to the public education system.

Oklahoma!, a Rodgers and Hammerstein classic, set the tone for American musical theater in the 1940s. First appearing at the St. James Theater in New York on March 31, 1943, the musical Oklahoma! ran on Broadway for over five years and toured around the country for many more. All ages have been delighted by this show, and tickets have been sold at over 2,000 performances.
With music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, Oklahoma! was the first of many highly successful musicals by this famous duo. Based on the play Green Grow the Lilacs by Lynn Riggs, Oklahoma! tells the tale of pioneer men and women in the Oklahoma territory at the turn of the century. The center of the plot is the romance of Curly McLain, an honest cowboy, and Laurey Williams. Curly's rival, Jud Fry, is a sinister hired farmhand. A clash ensues over who is to take Laurey to the upcoming box social. Oklahoma! tells the tale of romance in the American West and high-spirited conflict between farmers and cowboys.
Oklahoma! contains an abundance of famous and acclaimed musical numbers. The show starts with the song 'Oh, What a Beautiful Morning' and contains plenty of magnificent songs including 'The Surry with The Fringe on Top', 'People Will Say We're in Love', 'Many a New Day', 'I Can't Say No', and the final rousing number 'Oklahoma' for which the play was named.
Besides being acclaimed as one of the first musicals to advance the plot with song, Oklahoma! has set records in box offices around the globe. In 1943, Oklahoma! broke all box office records for ticket sales when it opened on Broadway. This show held the record for longest running musical for 15 years until My Fair Lady hit Broadway. It has also sold out tickets at the Royal National Theatre's Olivier Theatre in London, England.
Oklahoma! has been acclaimed by critics around the world. It received an International Emmy Award in 1999. In 1944, Oklahoma! won the Pulitzer Prize for Best Drama. It has also won 2 Academy Awards, a Special Tony Award in 1993, 4 Olivier Awards including Best Musical Production in 1999, and the London Evening Standard Award for Best Musical in 1998. The New York Drama League awarded it Best Musical of the Century, and on its 50th anniversary year, Oklahoma! became the first Broadway musical to have its own commemorative postage stamp.
Not only does Oklahoma! have an excellent score, but it has starred celebrities such as Hugh Jackman and was choreographed by Agnes de Mille. The original cast included Betty Garde, Alfred Drake, Joan Roberts, Joseph Buloff, Celeste Holm, Howard Da Silva, Lee Dixon, Joan McCracken, Bambi Linn, George S. Irving, George Church, Ralph Riggs, Marc Platt, and Katharine Sergava. The film version starred Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones.
Oklahoma! is a delightful show enjoyed across the generations. It has become a classic in the American musical genre and renowned throughout the world. Not only did Oklahoma! launch the most successful duo in Broadway's history, it defined musical theater as it is known today.

What: Borger Invitational.
Host School: Borger.
When: 9 a.m. (junior high girls), 9:30 a.m. (junior high boys), 10 (JV girls), 10:30 a.m. (JV boys), 11 a.m. (varsity girls), 11:30 a.m. (varsity boys).
Where: Courses begin and end at Bulldog Stadium.
Teams: Borger, Canyon, Gruver, Palo Duro, Panhandle, Perryton, Randall, San Jacinto girls, Sanford-Fritch, Stratford, Tascosa, West Texas High.
Defending Champions: Canyon (boys and girls).
Meet Notes: For years, this was the first area cross country meet. Borger girls coach Leslie Young has been employed by the school district for 18 years "and we've had it every year, probably 20-plus years." The meet almost is a preview to the 5-3A meet, with only Dalhart missing. Canyon's Lady Eagles are the defending 3A state champs while the Eagles finished third at the state meet. Both are ranked No. 1 in the state, while the Perryton boys are No. 7 in 3A and Panhandle boys No. 7 in 2A. Young said that without scrimmages played by football and volleyball teams, this meet provides many cross country coaches "a great chance to measure where we are." The course is moderately hilly and runners cover a variety of surfaces, finishing on the football stadium track.

Larry Watkins: I'd like to hear it accelerate thru the gears, approaching thru first and second, and going away third-fifth. That would be a test of sound. Revving it without a load is not a true test. JMO

Aurora "Roe" Teagarden's fortunes change when a deceased acquaintance names her as heir to a rather substantial estate, including money, jewelry, and a house complete with a skull hidden in a window seat. Roe concludes that the elderly women has purposely left her a murder to solve. So she must identify the victim and figure out which one of her new, ordinary-seeming neighbors is a murderer-without putting herself in deadly danger.

In the second Real Murders club novel starring diminutive, busty librarian Aurora "Roe" Teagarden, our heroine is smarting from a breakup and resentful at having to attend her ex's sudden wedding (along with that of her long-divorced mother) when she learns some astounding news: elderly solitary spinster Jane Engle has left Roe her house in their sleepy Southern town of Lawrenton and a cool $553K. Roe, who hardly knew Jane, though both were members of the amateur sleuthing Real Murders Club, wonders why, until she finds a human skull hidden in her new house's window seat and a cryptic note declaring: "I didn't do it." The eligible Episcopal minister Aubrey Scott comes calling for a date, and neighbors drop in at Roe's new digs with strange tales of break-ins and diggings in Jane's backyard. Harris's latest is chockfull of colorful local names and background chatter, and fans of this intrepid young private eye will be curious to learn how her new independence unfolds. (Feb.)

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. - In the first three innings Friday night, Roy Oswalt allowed a triple, two doubles, and three singles and walked a batter. He was exactly a week removed from a mediocre outing against these same Florida Marlins, and the red flags that hinted at back trouble earlier in the season remained.
"It felt like I was trying to throw the ball from second base," Oswalt said. "After the third inning, it felt like I was standing on top of the hitter."
When a team is 42 games over .500 on Sept. 3, territory never before reached in 129 seasons of Phillies baseball, the problems are few. A 5-3 victory over the Marlins at Sun Life Stadium hardly represents a watershed moment. But regaining confidence in a pitcher the Phils will need in October is significant.
