Begin With by Eugene Bonds

When Tom Turner asked me to interview Betty Hardin for the series about Abernathy people sponsored by First State Bank, we discussed how important educators are to a commullity. Fortunately Ab­ernathy is blessed with an abundance ofindividuals in or classrooms that have chosen to impart a portion of their knowledge to the next genera­tion. With this in mind I asked the question, what is a teacher?

A teacher is many things. She is knowledge with a smile on her face . Democracy with a book in her hand. Wisdom with a flick of white chalkdust on his left eyelid. .

They come in all sizes and temperament. Some are short, tall , skinny or plump. They may be laughing, serious, happy or sad. She is the future of the nation in a simple dress. They are love with a college ed ucation.

In their everyday work week, they are expected to be: a diplomat, philosopher, fight referee, pediatrician, police­man, practical nurse and a quiz program conductor. They have little children in their eyes and they dream young dreams.

They are a psychiatrist without a couch, a politician without a promise, and a baby sitter without the right to raid the icebox.

They make more money normally than a dishwasher, a ditchdigger or a garbage col­lector. But they make less money that a professional wrestler, plumbers, electri­cians, blackjack dealers or CPA's.

In addition to knowing all here is to know about reading, writing and arithmetic, not to mention science, biology, his­tory and music a teacher has to be equally adept at : blow­ing small noses, teaching frac­tions , putting on galoshes, finding lost mittens and mak­ing parents feel good at par­ent-teacher meetings.

While grateful parents spend their evenings watch­ing television, attending par­ties, complaining about the high cost of property taxes; teachers spend the ir evenings correcting exam papers, oper­ating concession stands at ball games, smiling at people at parent-teacher meetings and wishing they had become le­gal secretaries.

Teachers can be found af­ter school: taking aspirin, pick­ing up spitba lls, cleaning blackboards, rehearsing plays, making cos1t umes for the Christmas pageant or sitting at their des~ waiting for the strength to g~t up and go home.

Teachers are expected to: go to church, keep out of debt, have creative minds but not disawee with the school board. They must stay away from cigarettes, beer and bingo games and give willingly to every organization in the school that is raising money.

From their classrooms will come the doctors of tomorrow, great artist and journalists, merchants and far mers, maybe industrial tycoons and all the leaders the world will need to survive in a puzzled world.

Underpaid, unappreciated at times, harried and over­worked, they gain their pay in secret satisfaction .. . they will admit,"I have the greatest job ofal1 ... "

They hold the hist.ory of the world in the palm of their hands, the next generation. To this we simply say thank­you.

"We should do all that we can for all that you can" Former Abernathy High

School math teacher, Bettie Hardin, is this weeks First State Banks person you should know. Little did former AISD Superintendent Fred Miller realize the long term effect hiring Mrs. Hardin in 1953 would have on Aber­nathy. Not only did she teach three generations oflocal stu­dents, but she has given end­less hours of service back into this community.

Bettie was born in Stam­ford and grew up in Lubbock. She graduated from Texas Tech University with a BA and MS in Math. She taught in the Abernathy public schools for 52 years.

Mrs. Havdin said her goal as a school teacher was to, " .. help her students in what ever way she could . There was more to teachingtharijust the subjectofmath. I felta need to help my students develope life­long skiIls." She went on to

BETTIE HARDIN

say that she tried to encour­age her students to develope values and respect others.

Many people in AbeJ'-

nathy praise Mrs. Hardin for her many contributi ons. AISD Superintendent, Herb Youngblood said , "Bettie Hardin is a great woman, it has been an honor to have had the opportunity to work with her. " As a fonner co­worker for twenty-five years, Sharon Kester -Fail' said , Betty was an exemplary teacher and the most perse­vering person I have ever known."

When the rebuildingofthe Middle School was completed after a recent fire, Mrs. Har­din was recognized by the local school board when they named the new auditorium in the facility the Bettie Har­din Auditorium.

Volunteering has been a lifelong passion for Bettie. She has been the pianjst at Abe1'llathy First United Methodist Church for nearly fifty years. In addition she played piano at the Lubbock

State Scl1001 for twenty-five years. She has been recog­nized for her efforts by the RunningWaterDraw Retired & Senior Volunteer Program. She began sending cards to individuals that were shut­ins, those dealing with iII­ness or loss, or anyone need­ing a lift 01' encouragement. She personally mails some­times more than 250 cards each week.

Obviously, Bettie Hardin puts her whole heart into anything she does. For many years she rode her bicycle 25 miles each wee kday. She enjoys doing things and stay­ing busy. W11en asked about spending time with others she replied, " If it helps some­body, that's what we're here for. " She also enjoys her two poodles Molly and Lulu .

rAGE 2, FRlDA Y, NOVEMBER 10, 2006, ABERNATHY WEEKLY REVIEW

Texas House Headed for Leadership Change? by Dave McKneely

Democrat Chris Bell fa iled to keep Republican Gov.Rick Perry /i'om qua lifyi ng to be Texas' longest.serving governor ever. But Democra ts ga ined enough seats in the 150·member Texas House of Representa tives - an increase of five, and poss ibly six, over the 63 they had in 2005 - that they may be able to remove Republican House Speaker Tom Craddick.

To do so, the Democra ts would have to cut a dea l with enough Republicans turned offby Craddick's autocratic lead­ership style to pick a replacement. For that to work, the Democrats would have to have a near·solid front, and then let Repu bl icans disco ntented with Craddickchoose among them­selves the Republican to be speaker.

Cradd ick "eleased a list of 109 members and members· elect on Wednesday. But as Quorum Report editor Harvey Kronberg pOinted out, former Democratic Speaker Pete Laney had more pledges than that when Craddick beat him four years ago.

The Democrats' gains came by holding all their contested seats, including the Republican·leaning West Texas seat being vaca ted by Laney, D-Hale Center, plus:

-Knocking off four GOP incumbents - Toby Goodman of Arlington (HD 93), Bill KetTer of Dallas (HD 107), Martha Wong of Houston (flO 134), and Gene Seaman of Corpus Christi (HE 32). Their respective replacements will be Demo­crats Paula Hightower.Pierson of Arlington, Allen Vaught of DaUas, Ellen Cohen of Houston, and Juan M. Garcia of Corpus Christi.

.. Winning, with Democrat Valinda Bolton, the open Austin District 47 Republican Terrry Keel has represented for a decade.

··Holding House District 48 that Democrat Donna Howardwon after Republican Todd Baxter quit. Dunnam said

. at a Wednesday press conference that he thinks a bipartisan coalition will be assembled in the House, but refused to specu­lato on whether Craddick might be unseated as speaker. "Ifthis is going to happen, it's going to happen among the (House) members, and not in the newspapers," Dunnam said. Even if the Democrats don't achieve a leadership change, their. in­creased strength, coupled with the loss in the primaries of some key Republican Craddick supporters, Dunnam said the balance of power has changed, particularly on education. Craddick was forced to vote to break ties several times in the past session, and a few more votes makes a huge ditTerence.

More outcomes of Tuesday's election: TEXAS SENATE No surprises, with districts so gerrymandered that most are

decided in party primaries. But EI Paso Democrat Eliot Shapleigh withstood a spirited challenge from Donald R. "Dee" Margo with almost 59 percent of the vote.

Two newcomers in particular will be watched with interest. One, anti-tax Republican talk radio owner Dan Patrick of Houston, has been critical of the state's Republican leadership. Another, former Austin Mayor Kirk Watson, is considered a skilled solution·oriented negotiator, who may help forge some consensus in the body.

TRIBUTE TO OUR ARM.ED FORCES

TOP DEMOCRAT STATEWIDE VOTE·GETTER Far down the ballot, William E. "Bill" MoodyofEl Paso, the

lone Democrat who ran for a Texas Supreme Court seat, against incumbent Don Willett, got close to 100,000 more votes than the next·neat'est Democrat. Still , it was not quite 45 percent, and Moody, who underlined his candidacy by walking across Texas, will return to West Texas.

GOVERNOR Democrat Bell was correct that if entertainer Kinky Fried·

man had dropped his independent candidacy, and if all his backers had swung to Bell - a questionable scenario - Bell would have beaten Perry by more than 40,000 votes.

For what it's worth, Perry won with just over 39 percent of the vote - slightly less than the almost 40 percent Democrat Tony Sanchez got in his 10SR to Perry in 2002. Sanchez got 1,819,709 votes then - more than 100,000 votes more than Perry got this year.

Doesn't matter. In mid·2008, Perry will eclipse the longest consecutive tenure as governor, of Allan Shivers, who served seven and a half years a half century ago. And in early 2009, he'll pass the total time as governor -eight years, in two non· consecutive terms - of former Republican Gov. Bill Clements.

In case you're curious , President George W. Bush served just under six years as Texas governor before going to the ' White House in the middle of his second term, allowing Perry to move up from lieutenant governor.

TCEQ ENCOURAGES TEXANS TO REDUCE,

REUSE,RECYCLE AND REBUY

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and Keep Texas Beautiful are celebrating Texas Recycles Day on November 15, by asking Texans to make recycling part of their daily household routine. This year's theme, 4R Future: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Rebuy, calls attention to how most commonly discarded household items can be reclaimed and regenerated into usable products.

''You can't discard the fact that Texans dispose of more than 29 million tons of trash, or just over seven pounds of waste, per person, per day," said TCEQ Chairman Kathleen Hartnett White. "Almost all of this trash can be recycled into useful products, keeping it out of our landfills."

"Recycling and conservation are important issues in Texas today," said TCEQ Commissioner Larry R. Soward. "By manufacturing more products from recycled materials in­stead of raw materials, we can conserve energy, conserve natural resources and reduce wastes in the process."

Texas was horne to the first organized statewide recycles day in 1993, and became the model for the first nationally observed America Recycles Day in 1997. Last year, more than 4,000 volunteers at Texas Recycles Day events collected over 580,000 lbs. of recycled materials.

"Texas was at the forefront of this etTort and we will continue be a leader through our education and awareness efTorts ," said TCEQCommissioner Martin A. Hubert. "Through regular, daily activities, such as recycling, we can conserve our natural resources and keep Texas beautiful."

Letter to the editor ('m sure you have received a lot of compliments from the

I was especially entertained with the notion that you can use the words stripper and gin in the same sentence and not raise an eyebrow. I shared that with my pastor yesterday, who is from Littlefield, and he laughed a lot . Might even show up in a sermon someday.

: What the market knew, .... , but cotton analysts didn't

By Elton Robinson, Delta Farm Press Staff

WhJre did many market analysts go wrong when ear­lier this yea r, they beJieved that the ri sk was to the up­side in the cotton market? A lotofithastodowith the 800-pound gorill a that 's bcen wreaking havoc in th e mar­ket for much orthe new mil­lennium - China.

Mike Stevens, with Swiss Financial Services, speaking at the Ag Ma rket Network's October market update, notes

· that early this summcr, "it : was widely antic ipated that : China would issue supple­: me ntal import licenses to : their mills, wruch should have · provided a ra lly as merchants : lifted t heir hedges. · "The market consolidated : nicely between 52 cents and . 53 cents last month, await­, ing an announcement from , the Chinese, but it became · in creasingly ne r vous as !China 's cotton association, · Cotlook, then the Interna­tiona l Cotton Advisory Coun­cil started making major a d­justments to estimates of both the Chinese crop and their demand.

"As the market started de­teriorating technically, per­ception of the supply dem and fundam entals began to shift as well. The weekly crop con­dition indi ces re fl ecte d marked improvement in the U.s. crop, leading most to fi­nally acknowledge th at not only was the Crunese crop getting bigger but the U.S. crop was getting bigger too.

"The October report reso­nated with two themes, larger supply a nd lower demand compared with September in both in t he United States a nd in China."

The result of this shift was that the cotton market basis the December futures lost 486 points between the Septem­ber and October USDA crop production reports, while many analysts had been con ­vinced the market was going to eventually breakoutabove 54 cents.

Stevens noted tha t today, the pace of U.S. exports "has finally began to pick up and should continue to do so as

./long as the market stays be­low 52 cents. For the past two weeks (early October), U.s. cotton has remained competi­tive. When you look at the A­Index, the Memphis

Eastern style cottons are not only in the Index, but they bouncing between No.4 and No. 5 position . "But we still can't lose sightofthe fact that for now, we'I'e going to

be relegated to the role of re­sidual supplier of the world's textile industries. Most mills here a nd a broad are going to continue to buy on a n as­needed basis beca use they can't afford these carrying charge pre mium s on th e boa rd ."

Stevens says any attempt for the market to move back above 52 cents, "looking at the fu ndamentals as we know them, would proba bly be tech­nical and would not have any staying power from a funda­menta l standpoint. "With the AWP fu tures spread at his­torically close levels, expedi­tious use of the loan is obvi­ous. The options market con­tinues to give the right, but not the obligation to protect you from an unexpected move . It wou ld at least appeal' from this point that the downside is limited."

Carl Anderson, pl'ofessor emeritus, Texas A&M Uni­versity says he was overlyop­timistic a bout cotton prices in luid-summer, tl beca use the numbers we were looki ng at that time were a lot tighter in supply and stronger in de­ma nd than the n umbers we're dealing with now. One thing I' ve learned over time is that the market is usually right."

After it became clear that the market wasn 't doing any­thing s ignificant on either 'side, analysts began wonder­ing what the market knew th a t they didn 't . "Sure enough, when we got these October numbers from USDA, we find out that the funda­mentals of world supply-de­ma nd are now in line with the price we have."

USDA'sOctoberworld sup­ply and demand esti mates are forecasting tha t world end­ing stocks this season will in­crease by 5.5 million bales. "That is substantial," Ander­son said. "The numbers were substantially changed in China - they had more stocks at the beginning of the year, they have a larger crop and they are not using as much cotton in their textile m ills as earlier thought."

The world stocks in stocks­to-use is now at 43 percent, compared to 38 percent last month. "If the opposite were true, we'd be seeing a market 5 cents higher . As it is, those are adequate stocks to meet demand a nd 50 cen ts a pound is about where cotton should be trading."

Another weight on the market is plenty of supply in major-exporting countries.

"We are one of the leaders in exports, but so is Uzbekistan, Pakistan, India, Brazil , Ar­gentina and Australia , who all have to export to get rid of the cotton they prod uce each year. We have lots of compe­tition in the world market and foreign countries can under-price us. And we have a lot of shipping and han­dling costs."

Anderson says that with the elimination of the Step 2 competitiveness provision, producers should expect fu­tures prices to be 8cents to 10 cents below the A-Index and the farm price, depending on quality , to be 4 cen ts to 6 cents below the nearby New York futures . "For example a 58-cent A-Index with a 12-cent difference is 46 cents to the farmer ." Anderson noted that certificated stocks are at a very high level - 750,000 ba les. "That's a very large number that can threaten this market. Speculators a re holding the equiva lent of 16 million bales, and a re hold­ing on their bearish attitude."

Anderson projects cotton prices for December 2006 to trade at between 48-52 cents. "I hope itwiU goa little higher, but with the supply of cotton in the world , I don't think we're going to get the A-In­dex up over 60 cents. So we have to have the A-Index go­ing up before our nearby fu­tures go up a nd before our fa rm prices can go up." But prices are expected to head up next spring, ba rring any negative surprises from the Far East. "There is going to be a lot of talk about putting in more corn for eth an ol, biodiesel and we have a lot of enthusiasm in the grain mar­kets," Anderson said . "I'm trunkingwe'll see cotton acres in the United States and the world back off a little bit and the market is going to have to respond and get us some more acres sometime around the beginning of next year.

"Low prices increase de­mand , and decrease acres planted . Tha t's why I'm opt­ing to put cotton in the loan and hold out for next year, and see if Ma rch is going to have to buy some acres. It would h ave to rally up above 55 cents, December 2007. "Just remember, the rules were changed a little bit this year and from what I gather, it's going to cost a little more to put cotton in the loan. So check to make sure you know how it's going to work ."

Alan Pettit would like to say thanks to the many people that supported his

candidacy for

County Commissioner Precinct 2.

The telephone calls to friends, hours of campaigning and the votes cast on his

behalf were greatly appreciated.

We worked in conjunction with the Methodist Chill'ch to provide supper and a concert to the teenagers of Abernathy, and the guys at the fire house were more than happy to give u a place to host it.

Dexter U. Duephus Writes Again at the Weekly Review Well hello dear readers, I

was able to make one submis­'sion into your paper and have had much difficulty getting back in. That Office Manager at the Weekly Review is a real stickler for punctuality.

Each week I showed up a little late a nd she will not Lis-

ten to my excuse. Week before last I was reporting on a real good news item north of town and thought I had plenty of time. At least the clock on the side of the elevator on FM 37 showed I had ten minutes to get to the news office. I tried to tell her they forgot to change

the batteries or something in that elevator clock because it never changes and as you drive away it will just disap­pear. I do not understa nd.

Someone asked me the other day the silliest ques­tion. They wa nted to know if

I knew what E.T .. s tood for .? Well I thillk everyone knows the a ns wer t o th a t. E.T. stands because he does not have a cha ir.

Maybe I will ma ke it on time next week , ti l then good­bye. D.D.D.
