Update on Ethan
I received an update on Ethan Tuesday and he is now up and walking on his own, and doing much better, but still has a way to go. His doctors are planning to release him in mid October to return home to Santa Anna where he will continue to recover from his illness.
I saw an article in the Coleman paper about Ethan's class and some posters around town about a benefit for Ethan this weekend but I don't have the details.
Ethan Mendoza, age 8 and a student at Santa Anna Elementary is currently hospitalized at Cook Children's Medical Center in Ft. Worth due to a diagnosis of Encephalitis. He has been there since early June and remains there for physical therapy and rehabilitation.
Ethan is the son of Sandi Watson of Santa Anna. Send well wishes to Cook Children's Hospital Center, Ethan Mendoza, Rm 6406, 801 7th Ave., Ft. Worth, TX 76104
Please remember Ethan and his family as he recovers.
Rattlesnakes!
I have heard several reports of rattlesnakes on the move. From the East side of town one school employee was bitten near the school bus barns this past week. On the West end Bobby Morgan told me of a couple around Morgan Time Machines. From the school there have been several around the South end of the football field and track all Summer so all you track walkers keep your eyes open and avoid walking after dark!
Ray Jones killed one in a fierce battle in front of First Baptist a couple of Sundays ago.
The latest comes from the Northside Baptist Church where one was spotted near the front steps after church Wednesday night after Prayer Meeting.
Better watch out for those serpents around the church!
ATTORNEY GENERAL GREG ABBOTT ANNOUNCES RECORD SETTING $2 BILLION IN CHILD SUPPORT COLLECTIONS
|
|
| AUSTIN – Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott today announced child support collections by his office topped $2 billion for the state fiscal year that ended Aug. 31. The $2 billion collected surpassed the previous year's all-time record by $226 million. “Protecting Texas children is my top priority. I am committed to collecting child support that provides our kids with the resources they need to grow healthy and strong,” said Attorney General Abbott. “Thanks to the efforts of our dedicated child support team, collections continue to grow, giving children across the state hope of a promising future.” Texas is recognized as one of the top child support enforcement agencies in the nation. The state's collection growth of 18 percent between federal fiscal year 2004 and 2005 is the largest in the nation. Texas is second in the amount of child support collected. Families who receive child support attribute the successful outcome of their enforcement cases to the efforts of child support employees. As one El Paso mother wrote, "The payments have greatly improved the quality of my children's lives and relieved the enormous financial stress I endured all those years when there were no child support payments." She commended the support she received from Assistant Attorney General Judy Speer-Gamino, who works in an El Paso field office. Another mother from Georgetown commended staff in an Austin field office for work they did to collect a $15,000 past due payment on behalf of her 18-year-old daughter. That mother wrote, "My daughter has worked very hard and received several scholarships (athletic and academic) so that she may continue on with her college education and the child support money will be used to cover additional college expenses so that she can fulfill her dreams." In July 2005, Attorney General Abbott was named State Leader of the Year by the National Child Support Enforcement Association for his contributions to child support. Since Attorney General Abbott took office in December 2002, more than $6.7 billion has been collected. The Attorney General’s child support program helps families conduct their lives with dignity. The $2 billion collected last year helped more than 265,000 parents who once received Temporary Assistance for Needy Families maintain self-sufficiency without public assistance. “By collecting record levels of child support, we are not only serving children who depend on us for much-need support, but we are also serving taxpayers,” said Attorney General Abbott. “We are ensuring that parents take responsibility for their children, so they are less dependent on taxpayer-funded programs for assistance.” Other important ways the Child Support Division helped children and families last year include: • The Child Support Division obtained court orders obligating 51,000 parents to pay child support. A court order is required to make a parent legally responsible to pay child support. • Seventy-four percent of the money collected in 2006 was made possible by withholding income from a parent's paycheck. Other enforcement measures include interception of federal income tax refunds; suspension of driver, professional and recreational licenses; and seizure of assets held in financial institutions. • When all else fails, the Attorney General's Office seeks jail time for delinquent parents who ignore a court's order to pay child support. In the last fiscal year, more than 3,800 parents were incarcerated for failing to pay child support. • The agency's 24-hour toll-free automated voice response system (800-252-8014) handled more than 25 million calls during the last fiscal year. With one phone call, parents who pay child support and parents who receive child support can obtain information about recent child support payments; dates and locations of pending court hearings; dates of service on current legal actions; availability of genetic test results; and amounts due for current and past-due child support. • The Child Support Division helped more than 100,000 couples voluntarily acknowledge paternity at the hospital when their children were born. More than half of the 1.1 million children served by the Attorney General's Child Support Division were born to unmarried parents. Under Texas law, a child born to a man and woman who are not married has no legal father. The Attorney General's Office works with hospitals to help unmarried mothers and fathers voluntarily acknowledge paternity, so the father's name can appear on the birth certificate and the children can be eligible for child support, Social Security, veteran's survivor benefits and health insurance. • Child Support Interactive, located on the main Attorney General Web site at www.oag.state.tx.us, received more than 13.7 million visits in the last fiscal year. The site provides general information about the child support program and applying for services. Those with child support cases can obtain specific case information from a secure section of the site. The Office of Family Initiatives, which works alongside the Child Support Division to build strong families, provided federal access and visitation funding to 11 organizations across Texas to help parents without custody stay involved in their children's lives. The federal dollars, which must be used to increase contact between noncustodial parents and their children, also funded an online directory of programs across Texas designed to facilitate shared parenting after separation or divorce. The Attorney General's Office recognizes that many parents required to pay child support face obstacles to finding and keeping steady employment. Over the past 10 years, child support employees have referred thousands of needy parents to local workforce development boards for employment services. Last year, the Office of Family Initiatives partnered with the Texas Workforce Commission and local workforce development boards to provide intensive job training to unemployed parents from El Paso, Hidalgo, Brazoria, Galveston, Tarrant and Bexar counties who are in contempt of court for disobeying orders requiring the payment of child support. |
Ramble and a little "You Might be from Santa Anna if.."
I thought I would hide my ramble down here around all the Attorney General's bad guys!
With all the City turmoil and resulting after shocks in our family along with the Homecoming Week I have been pretty busy, not to mention the roof!
Well why not? IT'S FINISHED!
Last Saturday I got all the ridge row nailed down and Sunday afternoon I cut the valleys. When I first started on it the first of July one of my goals was to be finished with it by Homecoming. I meant the house, the garage, and the storage building too though! I will just have to settle for the house for now. The cooler temperatures that blew in with the first day of Fall last weekend sure made it pleasant for roofing if there is such a thing. I am sure that the cooler temperatures, not counting the near 100 degrees on Wednesday of course, will make it pleasant for the upcoming garage and storage building roofing. I may even get the dog house a new roof before Winter...
I have a final roofing rule for all of you that are keeping up:
Roofing Rule #99 - There should be no visible nails on your roof.
A couple have tried to hire me to do their roofing. My answers have varied and all have been some form of NO! Don't look real close at mine either... it is not a professional job by any means. Might I reccommend an old classmate of mine, Danny Thompson, of Coleman, for all your roofing needs...? He still does it the old fashioned way with a real hammer. Oh and by the way, Yes, I have two nails showing that I can find... not too bad for a 30 square roof and an amatuer roofer!
Several of you have checked with me regularly on my progress and been concerned with my naked roof during times of rain and for that I want to say thanks. I especially want to thank my Son-in Law Patrick for lending me his strong and young body. If it weren't for him I would still be up there!
And then there is my wife Cindy... always willing but never wanting to climb the ladder. I am not really sure I should thank her because it is her roof too after all... hmmm.. maybe she should be thanking me! Besides I am still mad at her for wearing those two holes in the seat of my Mountain Dew shorts...
I guess I should fess up a little too. Just before we started roofing one of Cindy's co-workers bought a place that had a Morgan Spa and he did not want it. Sounded like a deal so we loaded up a few Morgan's in the truck and went after it. The spa was in pretty bad shape. It was almost 15 years old and had gone a while without a top. The weather and Sun had taken their toll and we probably should have passed on it. A few skinned knuckles, a lot of elbow grease, and few aching backs later we had it moved, cleaned, and set it up but it wouldn't heat the water. With the help of the friendly Morgan Spa folks in Abilene we bought a few parts to make the water hot and a cover to keep those grandsons out of it. A few sparks later the water still wouldn't heat up so we decided to try and make it through the Summer until we could afford to replace the heater. Removing the cover to allow the Sun to heat the water proved to work pretty good. On some of the hotter days we got the water temperature up to 107 degrees. There would have been no way I could have made it through the roofing without the Morgan Spa.
Jessica decided somewhere along the way that I needed a new swimsuit and some flip flops. I told Cindy I would probably wear some sandals of some sort if I had to and to let Jessica pick out the trunks if she didn't like the ones I had. So Jessica bought me a pair of Speedo's... not the kind that Rob and Lane wear but the kind that are more like britches. Patrick saw them before I did and he was mad that they weren't his.. and they could have been! There is no feeling like getting in the spa with your pants on unless it would be the feeling like getting out of the spa with your pants on...
Cindy picked out the footwear. My only requirement was that they weren't flip flops and there couldn't be anything between my toes. She found some matching Speedo brand flips. I call them flips because every time I try to walk in them they flip off my feet about five away! Just give me my cowboy boots and leave me alone... that story will have to wait until later...
Hmm.. "You might be from Santa Anna if you never wore any flip flops in the first half of your life" or better still.. "You might be from Santa Anna if you would rather wear cowboy boots with your swim suit!
Oh and I almost forgot... I have been working on another little project for the Santa Anna Ex Students' Association since I haven't been roofing for a couple of days. I have started a website for former Santa Anna High School students.. check it out... it is still under construction: SantaAnnaMountaineers.org
ATTORNEY GENERAL ABBOTT REACHES AGREEMENT WITH ONLINE PAYMENT GIANT PAYPAL THAT PROTECTS CONSUMERS
|
|||
| AUSTIN – Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott today hailed an agreement he reached with online payment service PayPal as a landmark victory for millions of consumers and businesses using the online service to send and receive payment for goods and services worldwide. An Assurance of Voluntary Compliance filed by Texas and 27 other states sets forth strict disclosure and customer service standards the company must follow. Failure to comply with the new requirements would allow states to take further legal action against PayPal.
“In an age when online commerce is an integral part of our economy, those providing the tools that move billions of dollars in daily Internet transactions must do so by dealing fairly with the public,” said Attorney General Abbott. “We hope this agreement with an industry leader will set standard best practices for Internet businesses across the country to follow. Consumers across the State of Texas will benefit from PayPal’s promise to conduct itself with transparency and integrity .” The agreement addresses numerous business practices, including PayPal’s failure to provide customers with adequate disclosures regarding key components of its service, including dispute resolution and chargeback practices, selection of funding sources, buyer and seller protection programs, and the freezing of vendor accounts. According to the company, PayPal, which is owned by the online auction site eBay, has grown to a membership of over 100 million accounts worldwide since being founded in the late 1990s. Among users’ chief grievances addressed by the attorneys general is PayPal’s failure to clearly disclose the consumer’s funding source for a given transaction. Consumers complained that the company did not clearly disclose the funding source for each purchase, and thereby withdrew money from a consumer’s bank account, even if users submitted their credit card information when signing up. As a result, many consumers learned that money had been withdrawn from their bank accounts only when they received their monthly bank statements, even though their intention had been to use a credit card. Other consumers complained that during pending disputes with PayPal, the company would freeze funds held in the user’s PayPal account. Consumers’ complaints also reflected confusion about the difference between PayPal’s in-house dispute resolution programs and chargeback rights granted by federal law to consumers using electronic banking, debit and credit cards to make purchases. Under the agreement, PayPal must present consumers with a clear choice regarding the form of payment, and, prior to finalizing the consumer’s payment, must clearly and conspicuously disclose whether the payment is being funded from the consumer’s bank account or their credit card. Additionally, any Webpage that promotes a PayPal buyer protection program where a user can make a payment must provide clear and conspicuous disclosures about the limitations or conditions that apply to that program. The agreement also spells out new requirements for freezing customer accounts, including limiting access to funds only in such amounts as are deemed reasonably necessary to protect against risk. Prior to this agreement, PayPal would simply freeze the entire account.
Finally, the agreement provides relief to consumers who complained about their ability to reach PayPal by telephone in order to resolve problems with their transactions. Under the terms of the agreement, PayPal will establish a conspicuous “Contact Us” link on all of its Webpages, provide a toll free customer support number which is operational at least 18 hours each day during the week (14 on weekend days) and answer calls promptly. Consumers in Texas who face ongoing problems with the company or who wish to complain about other online payment services can contact the Office of the Attorney General online at www.oag.state.tx.us or by calling toll free at 1-800-252-8011. |

The only remaining city employees are long time employee Tommy Davis who is nearing retirement, Chief of Police Torres and one part time officer, the part time Assistant City Secretary, and the part time Municipal Court Judge both hired in the last month.
In other agenda items the Council voted to pay the resigning employees for their accrued vacation time and also voted to replace Mayor Findley with Councilman Bell upon Councilman and Mayor Pro Tem Feller's refusal to accept the position. After some discussion the Council voted to table the filling of the vacated city employee positions until a called emergency meeting on Wednesday at 5:00 PM which is the last day of those resigning.

ATTORNEY GENERAL ABBOTT’S PROSECUTORS PURSUE CHILD PORNOGRAPHERS: OBTAIN INDICTMENTS ON TWO, 12-YEAR PRISON TERM FOR THIRD
|
|
| GALVESTON – Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott’s Cyber Crimes Unit continued its prosecution of child sex offenders, obtaining indictments against two men and securing a 12-year prison sentence against a third man on child pornography charges. Weldon Kovacevich, 44, was indicted Sept. 21 by a Galveston County grand jury on 13 counts of possession and one count of promotion of child pornography. The former Galveston County peace officer was allegedly caught with more than 1,000 images of children, toddlers and infants engaged in sexual conduct. A federal grand jury in Austin indicted Paul Anthony Lawrence, 63, of Neiderwald, on Sept. 19 on two counts of possession of child pornography. The Attorney General’s office is prosecuting the case in cooperation with U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton. William W. Davis, 58, of Coldspring, pled guilty to two counts of possession of child pornography on Monday. The former petroleum industry worker was sentenced by 258th District Judge Elizabeth Cooker to six years in prison on each count. The Attorney General’s Office worked with San Jacinto County District Attorney Mark Price to secure the sentence. “Child pornography is not a big city problem or a rural problem, but one that communities across Texas face,” said Attorney General Abbott. “Images of child pornography reflect the sexual victimization of a child, and those who store and share such despicable photos must be held accountable. I am grateful to the local law enforcement in Hays, San Jacinto and Galveston counties who have provided assistance to our Cyber Crimes Unit in the investigation and prosecution of these cases.” Cyber Crimes Unit investigators conducted a search of Kovacevich's Bayou Vista home on Jan. 12, 2006. In addition to the images of child pornography in his possession, investigators found evidence he had been transmitting the images to others. He was arrested on Jan. 25, 2006. Kovacevich served as a peace officer in Galveston County for over 11 years, for the Galveston County Sheriff's Office from 1991 to 1995 and for the Bayou Vista Police Department from 1995 to 2003. At the time of his arrest, Kovacevich was no longer certified as a peace officer. Investigative work by the Hays County Sheriff's Department led to a search of Lawrence's Niederwald residence, where a computer and external media were confiscated. A forensic analysis performed by the Cyber Crimes Unit revealed images of child pornography. Davis was brought to the attention of law enforcement by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which received a tip from an Internet service provider that Davis was posting child pornography online. Cyber Crimes investigators conducted a search of Davis’s Coldspring residence and confiscated his home computer and external media. Forensic analysis revealed dozens of images of children engaged in sexual conduct. He was arrested on Feb. 23, 2006. Possession of child pornography is a third-degree felony punishable by two to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Promotion is a second-degree felony that carries a possible punishment of two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. Attorney General Abbott has made pursuing sexual predators a top priority of his administration. The Cyber Crimes Unit, which targets online predators, and the Fugitive Unit, which locates convicted child sex offenders who have violated the terms of their parole and could be stalking children, have combined for over 500 arrests of such offenders since Abbott took office in December 2002. His office also has obtained convictions against 50 men on child pornography charges. To find out more about Attorney General Abbott’s efforts to crack down on sexual predators, visit the Attorney General’s Web site at www.oag.state.tx.us or call (800) 252-8011. |

Mountaineer Football |  |
The Mountaineers traveled to Zephyr for a non-district game last Friday and the game was called with 4:44 left on the clock in the the third quarter and a score of 52-6 in the Mountaineers' favor. I believe that the score was actually 44-14 when the game was stopped. I didn't realize it until I was going through the photographs of the game but from my photographs, and what I thought, the Bulldogs scored two touchdowns and made one extra point kick which would have given them 14 points. But due to a scorekeeping error by the Zephyr scorekeeper and game officials, Zephyr's touchdown was put on the Guest side of the scoreboard. It probably would not have mattered much as far as the end result.
See the Sports Page for more photos of the game.
The Mountaineers will face the Brookesmith Mustangs in Santa Anna this Friday for Homecoming.

Cooking Well with Diabetes
Classes offered to help people with diabetes plan healthful meals
For people with diabetes, maintaining healthy blood glucose levels is a matter of life and death. One way for people to better control their glucose levels is to eat healthful meals and snacks at regular times each day. To help local residents learn how to plan and prepare meals that can be enjoyed by people with and without diabetes, Texas Cooperative Extension is planning a four-part series of cooking classes called Cooking Well with Diabetes. The classes will be held at 5:30, September 25, October 3, 10, and 17, at the Senior Center, 916 S. Concho St. in Coleman.
The series will include cooking demonstrations as well as discussions of research findings on diabetes. For instance, recent research has shown that people with diabetes can enjoy a wide range of foods - including sugars - in moderation.
Years ago, the term "sugar diabetes" was in common usage because it was thought that eating too much sugar caused diabetes. In those days, people with diabetes were advised to avoid sugar all together.
Those days are gone, said Mary K. Bielamowicz, an Extension nutrition specialist. Research has shown that moderate consumption of sugars and fats can still be part of a healthful diet for people with diabetes, as long as they keep their blood glucose at healthy levels. Carbohydrates are found in grains, pasta, cereals, dairy products and vegetables, particularly starchy vegetables such as beans, corn, peas, potatoes and winter squash.
Protein foods such as meat, fish and poultry do not contain carbohydrates, unless other ingredients such as breading are added to those dishes. Many carbohydrate foods also contain fiber, which can help reduce blood cholesterol and blood glucose levels. Carbohydrate foods that contain high levels of dietary fiber include whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Because the body quickly absorbs the glucose from sugary and high-starch foods, eating large amounts of them can cause blood sugar levels to skyrocket. People with diabetes should consume some starchy or sugary foods including breads, potatoes, desserts and fruit juices only in moderation, experts say. Instead of abstaining from sugars and starches altogether, they should consume a balance of different kinds of carbohydrates, such as more whole grains, nonstarchy vegetables and whole fruits, and less starchy and sugary foods.
One way to keep a check on the amount of sugars in the foods you buy and eat is to read the nutrition labels on food packages carefully. Sugar is sometimes listed as sucrose, glucose, fructose, high fructose corn syrup, honey, lactose, maltose, dextrose and sugar alcohols such as sorbitol or mannitol.
Another way to reduce your sugar intake is to modify your recipes, Bielamowicz said. For example:
* When baking, reduce the amount of sugar by one-quarter to one-third.
* In cookies, bars or cakes, replace one-quarter of the sugar with nonfat dry milk. This cuts calories while increasing the calcium and protein in the finished product.
* Add extra flavorings or spices.
* Use unsweetened frozen fruit juice or fruit canned in its own juice instead of fruit canned in syrup.
* Replace some of the sugar in a recipe with fruit juices or purees.
Bielamowicz added that because diabetes is a problem of carbohydrate metabolism (how the body uses carbohydrates), eating about the same amount of carbohydrates at each meal will help maintain blood glucose levels throughout the day.
There will be a one-time Registration Fee of $15.00 for the series of classes, or $25.00 for a couple from the same household. This fee will be used for notebooks and hand-outs, and food to be prepared and served at each class. For more information on cooking with diabetes or on the Cooking Well with Diabetes series, contact Extension Agent Debbie Hailey, at 325-625-4519.
