The Camp County Jail usually remains full but Camp County Sheriff Alan McCandless said no one who would pose a threat to the commu-nity has been or will be turned away
The jail has a capaci-ty of 34 however that does not mean there are 34 available beds There are four six-person cells one four-person cell one two-person cell and four single cells
ldquoAll jails in the state of Texas are regulated by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards which means there are classi-fications and require-ments on every inmaterdquo Sheriff McCandless said ldquoEven though we have 34 capacity we might sometimes be in a situa-
Agencies work together to prevent jail overcrowdingtion where several cells have very violent offend-ers Sometimes three four or even five beds are available but we canrsquot mix these inmates who were arrested on violent charges with those who are arrested on charges like burglary or theft and especially Class C misde-meanors
ldquoWe try to keep one single-person cell open to help with discipline purposes or for violent inmates There is no tele-vision in that cell nor any amenities nothing an inmate can destroy
ldquoI go the extra mile not to turn down any Class A or B misdemeanor warrants or any on-site arrestsrdquo he said ldquoWe have never been in a situation where we had to refuse anyone who would be a threat to the communityrdquo
Law enforcement offi-
cers encourage those wanted on Class C misde-meanors to see City Judge Steven Simmons or Justice of the Peace Bobby Carpenter direct-ly
ldquoThe only inmates we may not be able to accept are those with Class C misdemeanor warrantsrdquo Sheriff McCandless said ldquoThose type warrants generally consist of traf-fic violations unpaid fines and things of that nature We encour-age them to get the case resolved before they get arrestedrdquo
Sheriff McCandless said County Attorney Angela Hammonds and District Attorney Chuck Bailey go the extra mile to expe-dite cases
ldquoIrsquom fortunate that both the county attorney and the district attorney work with me on expe-
diting cases where the inmate canrsquot make bondrdquo he said ldquoThe court date might be three months away or more but they make every effort to expedite the cases so the jail doesnrsquot remain over-crowdedrdquo
Mr Bailey said he works to expedite jail cases by completing the discov-ery process as soon as possible making an offer appropriate for the crime committed and the crim-inal background of the defendant and setting the case for trial as soon as possible
ldquoSome cases are more easily disposed of than others while some cases require a trialrdquo he said ldquoA proper disposition is the goal regardless of whether the defendant is incarcerated or notrdquo
County court is only held once a month but County
Judge Thomas Cravey and Mrs Hammonds are willing to set up special court sessions to help clear beds in the jail
ldquoThey are very coop-
erative in setting special sessions to avoid having those who are being held on Class A or B misde-

Q If the Texas Department of Transportation is short of money why are they spending all the man hours fuel etc moving a pile of iron ore gravel down the road Highway 271 South about 800 feet then repiling it
A The property owner Ken Pilgrim plans to develop the property and asked TxDOT to remove the stockpile in front of the property Roger Ledbetter area engi-neer with TxDOT in Mount Pleasant said TxDOT agreed to move the stockpile as work permits over the next year The material will be used to repair roadways when possible and the remainder of the material will be relocated to the near-est stockpile site Mr Ledbetter said TxDOT will move the stockpiled material to another stockpile site on days when weather conditions are unsuitable to perform roadway work
Mr Pilgrim said there was a misunderstanding between him and Mr Ledbetter on the urgency of moving the stockpile Mr Pilgrim said he agrees with the author of this question that TxDOT funds could be better spent He further stated he thinks TxDOT should consider purchasing property to stockpile their materials

One Manrsquos Opinionby Roy Knox
I`m usually not such a pessimistic person but the actions taken by Obama`s administration toward the energy producers in this country are quite frank-ly convincing me that few if any middle class workers will ever really get to retire
In his second inaugural speech Obama blames crippling droughts and power-ful storms on carbon emissions (which in turn cause global warming) and he plans to greatly curtail them His prima-ry target is coal-fired power plants the largest provider of electrical power in the country The plan is to have the EPA regulate these plants out of existence or at least to cause a huge jump in prices where they would fall in line with what it costs to produce power from solar or wind-driven generators It doesn`t seem to matter that we do not have these solar or wind-driven generators in place those are just details
My friends that`s four to six times what it is costing us now Natural gas is an option but the price is always volatile (huge price per Million British Thermal Units - MBTU) when in demand plus it is a fossil fuel and doesn`t fit in to Obamarsquos environmental legacy Of course we are not the only country to use coal as a fuel to create electricity China India Russia and Brazil also use coal to produce elec-tricity with little if any pollution controls Pollution controls cost a tremendous
amount of money to install and main-tain and use a lot of power to make them work Obama asked these other countries to agree to carbon emission restrictions but they declined What a surprise Well at least Obama and Al Gore will be able to sit around in their air conditioned houses 10 years from now and wonder (but not care) what the poor people are doing
bullldquoPETArdquo has assured people there is no truth to the rumor there would be elephants at Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie`s wedding No wildlife at all Well if you don`t count the six children The way I see it it`s none of ldquoPETArsquosrdquo busi-ness what they do Expect Jolie to buy
another couple of children before they wed in May She might have not realized it at the time but Jennifer Aniston was so lucky she avoided this train wreck meaning Brad Pitt
bullEric Holder claims the government has the right to kill Americans on their native soil without due process Best I can remember that is exactly what happened in Waco about 20 years ago Gee Holder was involved there too
bullState Senator Audrey Gibson D-Jack-sonville has filed a bill to require taking an ldquoanger management courserdquo before an individual can purchase a certain amount of ammunition The certifica-tion would have to be renewed every 10
years Are you kidding What a waste of time And you still wonder why gun owners are paranoid
bullI know we can`t require testing a person for ldquominimal skillsrdquo before allow-ing them to vote That would eliminate too many Democratic core voters but shouldn`t we have something in place for the people running for office Maxine Waters D-California wrongly declared if the sequester is allowed to happen we would lose 170 million jobs in this coun-try The problem is there are only 134 million jobs in this country Who am I kidding If we actually tested for job placement Joe Biden would be an assis-tant ditch digger
bullAt dinner over the weekend the ladies ordered a drink that was prepared at the table The first ingredient was ldquodry icerdquo I`m not sure what else was put in the concoction but what it reminded me of was a toss-up It was either an intro to ldquoSmoke on the Waterrdquo by Deep Purple or a witchrsquos caldron bubbling and turn-ing The women claimed the drinks were wonderful I stuck with ice water being the safe and responsible person I am
bullWith all of this talk and actual fights of drones patrolling different parts of this country it`s amazing how quiet the ACLU is It`s funny how the ACLU and NOW have nothing to say when there is a liberal in office
When electricity is unaffordable

Dear EditorI observed a problem on
a county road last week and had to call the Camp County Sheriffrsquos Office Deputy Jimmy Coleman responded quickly and thankfully he was able to handle the situation He was outstanding he went above and beyond the call of duty
I think we are very fortu-nate to have officers like Deputy Coleman serving us in Camp County

Deputy Coleman to the rescue
meanors and who canrsquot make bond be held in jail for another 30 days until the next docket callrdquo Sheriff McCandless said
Normal misdemeanor criminal court is on the fourth Tuesday of each month This is commonly referred to as docket call because all pending cases that are ready for prose-cution are called
ldquoThis usually takes all dayrdquo County Judge Thomas Cravey said ldquoWe schedule cases in the morning session for defendants represent-ed by attorneys and the afternoon session for defendants who have chosen to appear without an attorney and repre-sent themselves The number of morning and afternoon cases will be roughly 5050rdquo
Judge Cravey said most cases in county court are resolved by plea bargain
ldquoWe occasionally will have a bench trial on docket day or one may be scheduled on a different dayrdquo he said
Court for jail cases is
held on an as-needed basis varying from once or twice a month to some-times once a week
ldquoWe are usually in court one to four additional days throughout the month and we may have one jail case on that docket or 10rdquo Mrs Hammonds said ldquoIt really varies based upon the need of the sheriffrsquos department and who is in the jail with just misde-meanor casesrdquo
Judge Cravey said these consist of defendants not eligible for bond unable to financially make bond or waiting for transfer to state prisons or other counties
ldquoNot all defendants who appear at these hear-ing will be releasedrdquo he said ldquoFrequently defen-dants receive a county jail sentence for a violation of their probations Expe-diting the hearings still permits the jail to calcu-late sentences and release datesrdquo
Mrs Hammonds said they have special settings whenever the need arises from the jail
ldquoThe jail is limited by the total number of inmates it can hold at one timerdquo she said ldquoIt is further limited by the number of female inmates it can have If there are inmates that cannot make bond on a misdemeanor case or inmates who are incar-cerated on a motion to revoke and there is no bond set we will often have a hearing to take care of those cases first rather than waiting for our set monthly docketrdquo
Mrs Hammonds said that the time inmates who canrsquot bond out of jail are held until they go to court varies widely depending on the individual
ldquoGenerally if some-one canrsquot make bond on a misdemeanor they go to court within a monthrdquo she said ldquosometimes it is even within a few days depending on the popu-lation of the jail Howev-er if the inmate has both misdemeanor and felony cases they are not gener-ally brought over for a special session because they typically cannot
or will not resolve their misdemeanor case until the felony case is resolvedrdquo
Judge Cravey said there are special provisions for handling defendants with hot check charges
ldquoWe hold court as often as needed to facilitate collection of restitution and reduce jail crowdingrdquo he said ldquoMost hot check defendants are eligible for a payment plan A common procedure is to book them into jail on outstanding warrants bring them immediately or on the next business day to appear before me and release them with a monitored payment plan They are required to appear in court on docket call day to monitor their compliancerdquo
Sheriff McCandless said another difficult situa-tion as far as clearing beds in the jail is when an inmate is sentenced to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice
ldquoThere is a paperwork process that sometimes takes up to 30 days from
start to finish to get them in TDCJrdquo Sher-iff McCandless said ldquoYou might have seven or eight that plead to TDCJ but you still have to wait until the paper-work goes through We usually always have some inmates in custody await-ing trialrdquo
Sheriff McCandless said there is no doubt that Camp County is going to need a larger jail in the near future
ldquoI think it is something the county is going to have to look at in the next five years or sordquo he said
There is the option of housing inmates in an out-of-county jail howev-er that is costly
ldquoIt costs $40 per day per inmate to house them somewhere elserdquo Sheriff McCandless
ldquoThat equates to $1200 a month for just one inmate Thatrsquos why coop-eration from the county attorney the district attorney and the judges to keep the inmates rotat-ing out is so importantrdquo

Instead of curling up in
a ball of hurt hate and resentment John-Mi-chael Keyes and his wife Ellen have gone forward since the death of their child in a school shooting to bring many messages to others Mr Keyes spoke at Region VIII Service Center to a room full of educators law enforce-ment and first respond-ers to tell the journey of his life since Sept 27 2006 when his daughter was killed by a gunman who had invaded Platte Canyon High School
Emily had just turned 16 prior to the shoot-ing and was in her high school English class when the gunman burst in He released all the boys and some of the girls keeping seven girls in the room one of them Emily Later when SWAT went in the building he used Emily as a human shield and shot her in the back of the head just before he was taken down
From this tragedy the ldquoI Love You Guysrdquo founda-tion was formed With the
Emily Keyes lost her life Sept 27 2006 at Platte Canyon High School in Bailey Colo when a gunman held her and others hostages in an English classroom
Father of slain student brings powerful message to educators law enforcement at Region VIII seminar
desire to turn their loss into urging school safety for other children the Keyes travel and speak of studies they have made on school safety
ldquoPeace ndash it means to be in a place of trouble and still have calm in your heartrdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoMy objec-tive is when I am done with my story your story begins We talk to our kids about fire and give them multiple strategies in case of fire How many kids have we lost to a fire in a school in 50 years None How many have we lost to active violence in the last few years Hundreds It is time we talk to our kids We can stop violence and continue to stop itrdquo
Mr Keyes talked about Safe 2 Tell which is an intervention tool so students can learn about violence before it happens
ldquoIn 81 percent of the cases someone knew in advancerdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoThere is violence in bullying weapons in schools suicide interven-tions and interventions where they found planned school attacks that start-ed out small and were caughtrdquo
Mr Keyes recalled Sept 27 2006
ldquoThat day it was Emilyrsquos turn to driverdquo he said ldquoShe has a twin broth-er Casey It was off to school like any other day The resource officer left the school and a stranger was in the parking lot and walked into the school He fired a round into a
wall and asked the male students and some female students to leave the room including the teach-er A 52-year-old stranger held seven girls hostagerdquo
Mr Keyes did not know how to text in 2006 and since he knew Emily had a cell phone with that capa-bility he yelled if anyone outside the school in his
vicinity was under 30 and could text A reporter helped and texted Emily asking how she was She texted back ldquoI Love You Guysrdquo They texted her asking her where she was but they never received a reply
After the Keyes lost their daughter they were amazed at the outpour-ing of love from the local people
ldquoWe started the lsquoI Love You Guysrsquo foundationrdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoOur mission statement is lsquoto restore and protect the joy of youth through educa-tional programs and posi-tive actions in collab-oration with families schools communities organizations and govern-ment entitiesrsquordquo
Emilyrsquos Parade was founded a year after her death and is held yearly to raise money for the foun-dationrsquos work There is also a 5K run for emergen-cy responders and anyone else who wants to run
ldquoWe went to conferences after Emily died and tried to figure out who was doing whatrdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoTeachers and staff are the first ones to own the threat and the ones
who are left to cope with the after effect In study-ing school plans we found out there was no common language that the schools used Schools in the same area used different codes We looked at federal and state levels to see if there was a common level We found it closer to home in Broomfield Colo That school has put together a school safety plan From that the foundation has developed the Standard Response Protocol for schools and law enforce-ment to follow There is a demand for clearer infor-mation We need to tell our kids what is going on when it is going on Direct and honest communica-tion is importantrdquo
Mr Keyes talked about lockouts lockdowns evacuations and shelter
ldquoCreate a time barrier so law enforcement can get thererdquo he said
Mr Keyes said there is a lot of information schools can download at no charge from the foun-dation web site at httpsIluvyouguysorg

Department to increase patrols over Spring Break
The Texas Depart-ment of Public Safety (DPS) will increase DWI patrols from March 8 ndash March 17 one of the most active Spring Break periods in Texas DPS troopers will focus DWI patrols in high-risk locations at times when alcohol-related crashes are most frequent The enhanced patrols that target intoxicated driv-ers are funded through a grant from the Texas Department of Trans-portation
ldquoToo frequently people choose to drink and drive during Spring Break which is an extremely danger-ous decision that often leads to senseless trag-edyrdquo said DPS Direc-tor Steven McCraw ldquoGetting impaired driv-ers off the roads during Spring Break is a major
priority for the depart-ment and we also urge the public to make responsible decisions such as designating a non-drinking driver or finding alternative transportation if they are impairedrdquo
During last yearrsquos Spring Break enforce-ment period DPS troop-ers made more than 1000 DWI arrests and approximately 300 were the direct result of the increased patrols funded by the grant DPS enforcement also resulted in more than 9400 speeding citations 1500 seat beltchild safety seat tickets and 12500 other citations
In addition troop-ers made 545 fugitive arrests and 402 felony arrests during routine patrol operations during that same time period
The drinking age in Texas is 21 and any driver under that age with any detectable amount of alcohol in their system can be charged with break-ing the law Addition-al troopers will also be patrolling in areas with high concentrations of Spring Break activity
DPS offers the follow-ing tips for safe travel during the Spring Break holiday

bullEliminate distrac-tions while driving including the usage of mobile devices
bullBuckle up everyone in the vehicle ndash itrsquos the law

While colon cancer is the third-leading cancer killer in the United States it is also a preventable and treatable diseasemdashif diag-nosed in its early stages
If you are turning 50 donrsquot put off colon cancer screening While March is officially National Colorectal Cancer Aware-ness Month any time is a good time to learn the facts about colon cancer preventionSilent Killer
Colon cancer also known as colorectal cancer takes the lives of more than 50000 Amer-icans each year Itrsquos a silent killer because often there are no symptoms until it is too late to treat Age is the single largest risk factor for the disease Most colon cancers arise from precancer-ous growths in the colon called polyps which can be found during a screen-ing exam and removed before they turn into cancerScreening Saves Lives
The American Soci-ety for Gastrointesti-nal Endoscopy (ASGE) representing the experts in colon cancer screening recommends screening
begin at age 50 A person at average risk with normal screening results wonrsquot need another exam for 10 years If polyps or cancer is found screen-ing intervals should be more frequent Colon cancer runs in families so screening should begin sooner if there is a family history of polyps or colon cancer or if other risk factors are present Some experts suggest Afri-can-Americans should begin screening at age 45
Screening methods include colonoscopy sigmoidoscopy stool blood tests such as fecal occult blood test (FOBT) or fecal immunochemi-cal test (FIT) stool DNA CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) and barium enemaColonoscopy
Colonoscopy is consid-ered the preferred screen-ing method because it is a preventive exam It is the only test that both finds and removes precancerous polyps during the same exam With other methods if a polyp or other abnor-mality is found the test must often be followed by a colonoscopy Colonosco-
py is a safe effective and well-tolerated exam
ldquoASGE encourages patients to get screened at intervals recommend-ed by their doctor to find a qualified endoscopist for their colonoscopy who has had specialized train-ing in the procedure and to carefully follow prepa-ration instructions to ensure that the colon is thoroughly cleaned so that no polyps or cancers are missed during the procedurerdquo said ASGE President Thomas M Deas Jr MD MMM FASGE ldquoA quality colo-noscopy and appropri-ate follow-up exams save livesrdquoColon Cancer Facts

came about as the result of a conversation with Bo Pilgrim last yearrdquo said Rev Gage whose father is an evangelist as well ldquoHe expressed a desire to
see another crusade come to the PittsburgMount Pleasant areardquo
Rev Gage said they talk-ed about the previous cru-sade when the Rev Billy Graham came to Mount Pleasant in 2000
ldquoHe felt it was time for another onerdquo Rev Gage said
Rev Gage said his min-istry focuses on more ru-ral areas as opposed to big cities with a special emphasis on reaching the youth
ldquoBobby Bowden a great college football coach at Florida State said lsquoAmer-icarsquos youth may not be 100 percent of the population but it is 100 percent of our futurersquordquo Mr Gage said ldquoWe want to do all we can to reach the kidsrdquo
The actual crusade to be held on May 12-15 will include a special youth night on May 15
Rev Gage is a native of Dallas who now lives in the Atlanta Ga area
Orignially he said foot-ball was his life and after graduating from Camer-on University in Oklaho-ma he became a football coach at Texas Tech Uni-versity
Then one Sunday he said he felt compelled to go to church to hear an evangelist friend of his fa-therrsquos
ldquoIt was while I was liv-ing in Lubbock striving to become the next Tom Landry when God got a hold of my liferdquo he said
After coming to Christ Rev Gage quit his job at Tech and went to coach football at Liberty Univer-sity in Virginia the uni-versity started by Jerry Falwell He worked there for two years before he said Christ called him in a
different direction ldquoI had lost the ambi-
tionrdquo he said ldquoI had lost the firerdquo
Rev Gage quit coaching and surrendered to the ministry enrolling in the graduate program at Lib-erty University to become a full-time evangelist like his father
After graduating he said his ldquoheart was to reach rural Americardquo
ldquoPeople in small towns need Jesus just as much as big townsrdquo Rev Gage said
While in the area Rev
Gage will also address all the junior highs and high schools in the area as a motivational speaker speaking to 6000 students in Northeast Texas
ldquoWersquoll be reinforcing what the school systems are trying to accomplish to combat drugs and al-coholrdquo he said ldquoWe want to remind these teenag-ers you were born to be a winner in the game of liferdquo
The kick-off banquet will be held on March 18 at the Mount Pleasant Civic Center
Take it easy save moneyLetrsquos face it Your gas dol-
lars arenrsquot going nearly as far as they used to
However there are a number of things you can do to help improve your carrsquos fuel efficiency Con-sider these six tips from the car-care experts to maximize your carrsquos per-formance
1 Check your tire pres-sure Improperly inflated
tires can greatly reduce your fuel economy so make sure your tires are inflated to the manufac-turerrsquos recommended pressure level
2 Maintain your vehicle Replacing a dirty clogged air filter will go a long way to improving your carrsquos fuel efficiency According to the federal government your carrsquos gas mileage could improve by as much as 10 percent with a clean air filter In addition to the fuel savings the new filter will help protect your en-gine as well
3 Clean your fuel sys-tem Carbon and resin buildup in your carrsquos fuel system stifles your en-ginersquos ability to breathe and reduces fuel efficien-cy Flush out your fuel system including the fuel injector intake valve and combustion chamber with a specialized tank addi-
tive Better yet have your fuel system professionally
4 Take it easy and slow down Driving your car at high speeds ldquojack-rab-bit startsrdquo and aggres-sive driving in traffic can greatly reduce fuel effi-ciency The US Depart-ment of Energy says ldquoAs a rule of thumb you can assume that each 5 miles per hour you drive over 60 miles per hour is like pay-ing an additional 20 cents per gallon for gasrdquo
5 Remove excessive weight Remove any un-necessary objects in your vehicle especially heavy items An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle reduces fuel efficiency by as much as 2 percent Lighten up and mileage will go up
6 Use your air condi-tioning sparingly
These tips will help you improve your car and save money

New ag complex hosts second livestock show
By Kim CoxkcoxcampcountynowcomOn March 22-23 Pitts-
burg Independent School District will host another youth project livestock show the second held in the new showbarn on Broach Street
Willie Morgan with the school districtrsquos ag sci-ence program said hav-ing a show in the spring at this time is risky
ldquoYou donrsquot want to spread students too thinrdquo he said with other schools hosting their own shows this time of year ldquoYoursquore taking a chance when you do Therersquos so few dates to do sordquo
However Mr Morgan said last semesterrsquos show had a phenomenal atten-dance
ldquoIt was such a great turnout and if we can get anything close we will have a successful showrdquo he said
This semester the show will be a two-day event with the county show on March 22 and the open show the next day There is no pre-registration for the events Mr Morgan said
ldquoItrsquos whatrsquos called blow and showrdquo he said ldquoPeo-ple show up pay the entry fees and leave after show-ing It moves people out
pretty quicklyrdquoThe livestock show will
also include a petting zoo for younger Pittsburg stu-dents
ldquoOne of our primary goals with the spring show is to motivate lower grades into the ag scienc-esrdquo Mr Morgan said ldquoA lot of kids just donrsquot know we existrdquo
Judging for the coun-ty show competition will be Dennis Guidry from Ashdown Ark a judge Pittsburg has never used before
ldquoHe came highly rec-ommendedrdquo Mr Morgan said ldquoWe hope we have a good showrdquo
On March 14 at 530 pm the Northeast Tex-as Writersrsquo Organization (NETWO) will hold its monthly meeting at the Mount Pleasant Public Library Plans for the up-coming spring writersrsquo conference will be dis-cussed In addition the agenda usually includes

March 1 through May 31 ndash marks the most danger-ous season on Texas road-ways for alcohol-related traffic crashes Thatrsquos why the Texas Department of Transportation is remind-ing motorists to line up a PASS ndash a Person Ap-pointed to Stay Sober ndash be-cause even ldquobuzzedrdquo driv-ing is drunk driving
In 2011 spring account-ed for 26 percent of all alcohol-related traffic crashes in Texas accord-ing to TxDOT more than any other season At the same time weekends con-tinue to claim too many lives ndash more than half (58 percent) of all alcohol-re-lated crashes occurred on a weekend in 2011 With spring break and holiday weekends approaching TxDOT wants motorists to know that consuming just a few drinks can still impair a personrsquos ability to drive and it has launched a public safety campaign to let them know of the ef-
fect alcohol has on driving State law makes it il-
legal for someone with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 008 percent or higher to drive a vehi-cle However drivers can be arrested with a BAC below 08 when a law en-forcement officer has probable cause based on the driverrsquos behavior
ldquoPeople often donrsquot rec-ognize the impact that one or two drinks can have on their ability to operate a vehiclerdquo said John Barton TxDOTrsquos deputy executive director ldquoAlcohol slows your reaction time reduc-es your ability to properly gauge speed or distance from other objects and makes it difficult for you to focus on the road It takes less alcohol than you think so donrsquot take a chancerdquo
People tend to underes-timate their BAC when drinking alcohol accord-ing to a study by the Na-tional Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism As
a result they may think they are still OK to drive because they have only consumed a couple of drinks when in fact they may be impaired
TxDOT will be traveling in March to entertainment districts and college cam-puses throughout the state to remind motorists that ldquobuzzed driving is drunk drivingrdquo and to always line up a PASS ndash every week-end every season Events in the entertainment dis-tricts will conduct hands-on demonstrations that illustrate how consuming alcohol can impair onersquos ability to drive while at college campuses stu-dents will see what itrsquos like behind bars through an interactive backdrop dis-play Students will be able to share their photos and encourage friends to plan ahead for a PASS For more information contact TxDOT Media Relations at MediaRelationstxdotgov or call 512-463-8700

Good news for the esti-mated one in five allergy sufferers who have pets There are ways you and your pet can live together The experts at the Amer-ican College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology suggest you
bull Keep your pet out of the bedroom You spend as much as a third of your time there Letting a dog or cat in increases your exposure to dander and the likelihood of allergic reaction
bull Bathe your pet frequent-ly Itrsquos not the hair shed by the dog or cat that causes you to suffer itrsquos the loose flakes of skin he deposits around the house Bathe your pet at least once a week and dry him as best you can to limit the ani-malrsquos shaking and stirring up more dander
bull Replace air filters reg-
ularly With a pet in the house you should replace the filter in your forced-air heating and cooling sys-tem at least once a month A high-quality pleated filter offers more surface area to capture more dan-der than a flat-surface fil-ter
bull Clean your house fre-quently Doctors recom-mend frequent vacuum-ing of both hard-surface and carpeted floors heav-ily upholstered furniture and draperies
bull Consider a central vac-
uum system These offer the most cleaning power available to remove 100 percent of captured dan-der from the living area without stirring up dust
Reducing exposure through environmental controls however may not be sufficient for some allergic patients You may need an over-the-counter or prescription medica-tion to live comfortably with your pet Ask your physician about the ap-propriate treatment for you

Hectic schedules and increasing demands con-tinue to impact todayrsquos American families but perhaps one of the stron-gest barometers of fam-ilies is family mealtime Welchrsquos Kitchen Table Report shows families are stronger than evermdashmak-ing time to eat together frequently and enjoying sharing quality time as a family
gether as often as or more today than their families did when they were chil-dren
bull 75 percent eat most meals and snacks in the kitchen as a family
bull 75 percent say that in an average week they eat together four or more nights
bull 84 percent say that one of their favorite parts of the day is when their fam-ily eats together
bull Nearly 60 percent would rather spend time with their family or spouse than receive a $5000 pay
raise lose 10 pounds go on a Caribbean cruise or get more sleep
ldquoIt might feel like family dinner is part of a bygone erardquo said Welchrsquos Health and Nutrition Advisory Panel member and RD Sarah-Jane Bedwell ldquoBut parents are making meal-times a priority in order to share a moment with their children Thatrsquos good news because research has shown an association between regular family meals and improved fam-ily nutrition and overall well-beingrdquo
Despite the positive trend many families still
face mealtime challenges Four-in-10 survey respon-dents cite the lack of time to cook meals especially healthy meals as a top barrier to family meal-times
ldquoThere are solutions to combat common meal-time obstaclesrdquo said Ms Bedwell ldquoTo help fam-ilies enjoy more happy and healthy mealtime mo-ments we created an on-line toolkit that includes family-friendly meal makeovers heart-healthy recipes and morerdquo

Q If the Texas Department of Transportation is short of money why are they spending all the man hours fuel etc moving a pile of iron ore gravel down the road Highway 271 South about 800 feet then repiling it
A The property owner Ken Pilgrim plans to develop the property and asked TxDOT to remove the stockpile in front of the property Roger Ledbetter area engi-neer with TxDOT in Mount Pleasant said TxDOT agreed to move the stockpile as work permits over the next year The material will be used to repair roadways when possible and the remainder of the material will be relocated to the near-est stockpile site Mr Ledbetter said TxDOT will move the stockpiled material to another stockpile site on days when weather conditions are unsuitable to perform roadway work
Mr Pilgrim said there was a misunderstanding between him and Mr Ledbetter on the urgency of moving the stockpile Mr Pilgrim said he agrees with the author of this question that TxDOT funds could be better spent He further stated he thinks TxDOT should consider purchasing property to stockpile their materials

One Manrsquos Opinionby Roy Knox
I`m usually not such a pessimistic person but the actions taken by Obama`s administration toward the energy producers in this country are quite frank-ly convincing me that few if any middle class workers will ever really get to retire
In his second inaugural speech Obama blames crippling droughts and power-ful storms on carbon emissions (which in turn cause global warming) and he plans to greatly curtail them His prima-ry target is coal-fired power plants the largest provider of electrical power in the country The plan is to have the EPA regulate these plants out of existence or at least to cause a huge jump in prices where they would fall in line with what it costs to produce power from solar or wind-driven generators It doesn`t seem to matter that we do not have these solar or wind-driven generators in place those are just details
My friends that`s four to six times what it is costing us now Natural gas is an option but the price is always volatile (huge price per Million British Thermal Units - MBTU) when in demand plus it is a fossil fuel and doesn`t fit in to Obamarsquos environmental legacy Of course we are not the only country to use coal as a fuel to create electricity China India Russia and Brazil also use coal to produce elec-tricity with little if any pollution controls Pollution controls cost a tremendous
amount of money to install and main-tain and use a lot of power to make them work Obama asked these other countries to agree to carbon emission restrictions but they declined What a surprise Well at least Obama and Al Gore will be able to sit around in their air conditioned houses 10 years from now and wonder (but not care) what the poor people are doing
bullldquoPETArdquo has assured people there is no truth to the rumor there would be elephants at Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie`s wedding No wildlife at all Well if you don`t count the six children The way I see it it`s none of ldquoPETArsquosrdquo busi-ness what they do Expect Jolie to buy
another couple of children before they wed in May She might have not realized it at the time but Jennifer Aniston was so lucky she avoided this train wreck meaning Brad Pitt

Dear EditorI observed a problem on
a county road last week and had to call the Camp County Sheriffrsquos Office Deputy Jimmy Coleman responded quickly and thankfully he was able to handle the situation He was outstanding he went above and beyond the call of duty
I think we are very fortu-nate to have officers like Deputy Coleman serving us in Camp County
Clinton Evetts
Deputy Coleman to the rescue
meanors and who canrsquot make bond be held in jail for another 30 days until the next docket callrdquo Sheriff McCandless said
Normal misdemeanor criminal court is on the fourth Tuesday of each month This is commonly referred to as docket call because all pending cases that are ready for prose-cution are called
ldquoThis usually takes all dayrdquo County Judge Thomas Cravey said ldquoWe schedule cases in the morning session for defendants represent-ed by attorneys and the afternoon session for defendants who have chosen to appear without an attorney and repre-sent themselves The number of morning and afternoon cases will be roughly 5050rdquo
Judge Cravey said most cases in county court are resolved by plea bargain
ldquoWe occasionally will have a bench trial on docket day or one may be scheduled on a different dayrdquo he said
Court for jail cases is
held on an as-needed basis varying from once or twice a month to some-times once a week
ldquoWe are usually in court one to four additional days throughout the month and we may have one jail case on that docket or 10rdquo Mrs Hammonds said ldquoIt really varies based upon the need of the sheriffrsquos department and who is in the jail with just misde-meanor casesrdquo
Judge Cravey said these consist of defendants not eligible for bond unable to financially make bond or waiting for transfer to state prisons or other counties
ldquoNot all defendants who appear at these hear-ing will be releasedrdquo he said ldquoFrequently defen-dants receive a county jail sentence for a violation of their probations Expe-diting the hearings still permits the jail to calcu-late sentences and release datesrdquo
Mrs Hammonds said they have special settings whenever the need arises from the jail
ldquoThe jail is limited by the total number of inmates it can hold at one timerdquo she said ldquoIt is further limited by the number of female inmates it can have If there are inmates that cannot make bond on a misdemeanor case or inmates who are incar-cerated on a motion to revoke and there is no bond set we will often have a hearing to take care of those cases first rather than waiting for our set monthly docketrdquo
Mrs Hammonds said that the time inmates who canrsquot bond out of jail are held until they go to court varies widely depending on the individual
ldquoGenerally if some-one canrsquot make bond on a misdemeanor they go to court within a monthrdquo she said ldquosometimes it is even within a few days depending on the popu-lation of the jail Howev-er if the inmate has both misdemeanor and felony cases they are not gener-ally brought over for a special session because they typically cannot
or will not resolve their misdemeanor case until the felony case is resolvedrdquo
Judge Cravey said there are special provisions for handling defendants with hot check charges
ldquoWe hold court as often as needed to facilitate collection of restitution and reduce jail crowdingrdquo he said ldquoMost hot check defendants are eligible for a payment plan A common procedure is to book them into jail on outstanding warrants bring them immediately or on the next business day to appear before me and release them with a monitored payment plan They are required to appear in court on docket call day to monitor their compliancerdquo
Sheriff McCandless said another difficult situa-tion as far as clearing beds in the jail is when an inmate is sentenced to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice
ldquoThere is a paperwork process that sometimes takes up to 30 days from
start to finish to get them in TDCJrdquo Sher-iff McCandless said ldquoYou might have seven or eight that plead to TDCJ but you still have to wait until the paper-work goes through We usually always have some inmates in custody await-ing trialrdquo
Sheriff McCandless said there is no doubt that Camp County is going to need a larger jail in the near future
ldquoI think it is something the county is going to have to look at in the next five years or sordquo he said
There is the option of housing inmates in an out-of-county jail howev-er that is costly
ldquoIt costs $40 per day per inmate to house them somewhere elserdquo Sheriff McCandless
ldquoThat equates to $1200 a month for just one inmate Thatrsquos why coop-eration from the county attorney the district attorney and the judges to keep the inmates rotat-ing out is so importantrdquo

Instead of curling up in
a ball of hurt hate and resentment John-Mi-chael Keyes and his wife Ellen have gone forward since the death of their child in a school shooting to bring many messages to others Mr Keyes spoke at Region VIII Service Center to a room full of educators law enforce-ment and first respond-ers to tell the journey of his life since Sept 27 2006 when his daughter was killed by a gunman who had invaded Platte Canyon High School
Emily had just turned 16 prior to the shoot-ing and was in her high school English class when the gunman burst in He released all the boys and some of the girls keeping seven girls in the room one of them Emily Later when SWAT went in the building he used Emily as a human shield and shot her in the back of the head just before he was taken down
From this tragedy the ldquoI Love You Guysrdquo founda-tion was formed With the
Emily Keyes lost her life Sept 27 2006 at Platte Canyon High School in Bailey Colo when a gunman held her and others hostages in an English classroom
Father of slain student brings powerful message to educators law enforcement at Region VIII seminar
desire to turn their loss into urging school safety for other children the Keyes travel and speak of studies they have made on school safety
ldquoPeace ndash it means to be in a place of trouble and still have calm in your heartrdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoMy objec-tive is when I am done with my story your story begins We talk to our kids about fire and give them multiple strategies in case of fire How many kids have we lost to a fire in a school in 50 years None How many have we lost to active violence in the last few years Hundreds It is time we talk to our kids We can stop violence and continue to stop itrdquo
Mr Keyes talked about Safe 2 Tell which is an intervention tool so students can learn about violence before it happens
ldquoIn 81 percent of the cases someone knew in advancerdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoThere is violence in bullying weapons in schools suicide interven-tions and interventions where they found planned school attacks that start-ed out small and were caughtrdquo
Mr Keyes recalled Sept 27 2006
ldquoThat day it was Emilyrsquos turn to driverdquo he said ldquoShe has a twin broth-er Casey It was off to school like any other day The resource officer left the school and a stranger was in the parking lot and walked into the school He fired a round into a
wall and asked the male students and some female students to leave the room including the teach-er A 52-year-old stranger held seven girls hostagerdquo
Mr Keyes did not know how to text in 2006 and since he knew Emily had a cell phone with that capa-bility he yelled if anyone outside the school in his
vicinity was under 30 and could text A reporter helped and texted Emily asking how she was She texted back ldquoI Love You Guysrdquo They texted her asking her where she was but they never received a reply
After the Keyes lost their daughter they were amazed at the outpour-ing of love from the local people
ldquoWe started the lsquoI Love You Guysrsquo foundationrdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoOur mission statement is lsquoto restore and protect the joy of youth through educa-tional programs and posi-tive actions in collab-oration with families schools communities organizations and govern-ment entitiesrsquordquo
Emilyrsquos Parade was founded a year after her death and is held yearly to raise money for the foun-dationrsquos work There is also a 5K run for emergen-cy responders and anyone else who wants to run
ldquoWe went to conferences after Emily died and tried to figure out who was doing whatrdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoTeachers and staff are the first ones to own the threat and the ones
who are left to cope with the after effect In study-ing school plans we found out there was no common language that the schools used Schools in the same area used different codes We looked at federal and state levels to see if there was a common level We found it closer to home in Broomfield Colo That school has put together a school safety plan From that the foundation has developed the Standard Response Protocol for schools and law enforce-ment to follow There is a demand for clearer infor-mation We need to tell our kids what is going on when it is going on Direct and honest communica-tion is importantrdquo
Mr Keyes talked about lockouts lockdowns evacuations and shelter
ldquoCreate a time barrier so law enforcement can get thererdquo he said
Mr Keyes said there is a lot of information schools can download at no charge from the foun-dation web site at httpsIluvyouguysorg
ldquoOur information outlines how you can do this at your schoolrdquo he said

Department to increase patrols over Spring Break
The Texas Depart-ment of Public Safety (DPS) will increase DWI patrols from March 8 ndash March 17 one of the most active Spring Break periods in Texas DPS troopers will focus DWI patrols in high-risk locations at times when alcohol-related crashes are most frequent The enhanced patrols that target intoxicated driv-ers are funded through a grant from the Texas Department of Trans-portation
ldquoToo frequently people choose to drink and drive during Spring Break which is an extremely danger-ous decision that often leads to senseless trag-edyrdquo said DPS Direc-tor Steven McCraw ldquoGetting impaired driv-ers off the roads during Spring Break is a major
priority for the depart-ment and we also urge the public to make responsible decisions such as designating a non-drinking driver or finding alternative transportation if they are impairedrdquo
During last yearrsquos Spring Break enforce-ment period DPS troop-ers made more than 1000 DWI arrests and approximately 300 were the direct result of the increased patrols funded by the grant DPS enforcement also resulted in more than 9400 speeding citations 1500 seat beltchild safety seat tickets and 12500 other citations
In addition troop-ers made 545 fugitive arrests and 402 felony arrests during routine patrol operations during that same time period
The drinking age in Texas is 21 and any driver under that age with any detectable amount of alcohol in their system can be charged with break-ing the law Addition-al troopers will also be patrolling in areas with high concentrations of Spring Break activity
DPS offers the follow-ing tips for safe travel during the Spring Break holiday

bullEliminate distrac-tions while driving including the usage of mobile devices
bullBuckle up everyone in the vehicle ndash itrsquos the law

While colon cancer is the third-leading cancer killer in the United States it is also a preventable and treatable diseasemdashif diag-nosed in its early stages
If you are turning 50 donrsquot put off colon cancer screening While March is officially National Colorectal Cancer Aware-ness Month any time is a good time to learn the facts about colon cancer preventionSilent Killer
Colon cancer also known as colorectal cancer takes the lives of more than 50000 Amer-icans each year Itrsquos a silent killer because often there are no symptoms until it is too late to treat Age is the single largest risk factor for the disease Most colon cancers arise from precancer-ous growths in the colon called polyps which can be found during a screen-ing exam and removed before they turn into cancerScreening Saves Lives
The American Soci-ety for Gastrointesti-nal Endoscopy (ASGE) representing the experts in colon cancer screening recommends screening
begin at age 50 A person at average risk with normal screening results wonrsquot need another exam for 10 years If polyps or cancer is found screen-ing intervals should be more frequent Colon cancer runs in families so screening should begin sooner if there is a family history of polyps or colon cancer or if other risk factors are present Some experts suggest Afri-can-Americans should begin screening at age 45
Screening methods include colonoscopy sigmoidoscopy stool blood tests such as fecal occult blood test (FOBT) or fecal immunochemi-cal test (FIT) stool DNA CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) and barium enemaColonoscopy
Colonoscopy is consid-ered the preferred screen-ing method because it is a preventive exam It is the only test that both finds and removes precancerous polyps during the same exam With other methods if a polyp or other abnor-mality is found the test must often be followed by a colonoscopy Colonosco-
py is a safe effective and well-tolerated exam

Go Tell Crusade to host kick-off banquet March 18By Kim Cox
kcoxcampcountynowcom
Evangelist Rick Gage will host a Go Tell cru-sade this May but first he will be here on March 18 for a kick-off banquet
held in Mount PleasantldquoThe vision for a crusade
came about as the result of a conversation with Bo Pilgrim last yearrdquo said Rev Gage whose father is an evangelist as well ldquoHe expressed a desire to
see another crusade come to the PittsburgMount Pleasant areardquo
Rev Gage said they talk-ed about the previous cru-sade when the Rev Billy Graham came to Mount Pleasant in 2000
ldquoHe felt it was time for another onerdquo Rev Gage said
Rev Gage said his min-istry focuses on more ru-ral areas as opposed to big cities with a special emphasis on reaching the youth
ldquoBobby Bowden a great college football coach at Florida State said lsquoAmer-icarsquos youth may not be 100 percent of the population but it is 100 percent of our futurersquordquo Mr Gage said ldquoWe want to do all we can to reach the kidsrdquo
The actual crusade to be held on May 12-15 will include a special youth night on May 15
Rev Gage is a native of Dallas who now lives in the Atlanta Ga area
Orignially he said foot-ball was his life and after graduating from Camer-on University in Oklaho-ma he became a football coach at Texas Tech Uni-versity
Then one Sunday he said he felt compelled to go to church to hear an evangelist friend of his fa-therrsquos
ldquoIt was while I was liv-ing in Lubbock striving to become the next Tom Landry when God got a hold of my liferdquo he said
After coming to Christ Rev Gage quit his job at Tech and went to coach football at Liberty Univer-sity in Virginia the uni-versity started by Jerry Falwell He worked there for two years before he said Christ called him in a
different direction ldquoI had lost the ambi-
tionrdquo he said ldquoI had lost the firerdquo
Rev Gage quit coaching and surrendered to the ministry enrolling in the graduate program at Lib-erty University to become a full-time evangelist like his father
After graduating he said his ldquoheart was to reach rural Americardquo
ldquoPeople in small towns need Jesus just as much as big townsrdquo Rev Gage said
While in the area Rev
Gage will also address all the junior highs and high schools in the area as a motivational speaker speaking to 6000 students in Northeast Texas
ldquoWersquoll be reinforcing what the school systems are trying to accomplish to combat drugs and al-coholrdquo he said ldquoWe want to remind these teenag-ers you were born to be a winner in the game of liferdquo
The kick-off banquet will be held on March 18 at the Mount Pleasant Civic Center
Take it easy save moneyLetrsquos face it Your gas dol-
lars arenrsquot going nearly as far as they used to
However there are a number of things you can do to help improve your carrsquos fuel efficiency Con-sider these six tips from the car-care experts to maximize your carrsquos per-formance
1 Check your tire pres-sure Improperly inflated
tires can greatly reduce your fuel economy so make sure your tires are inflated to the manufac-turerrsquos recommended pressure level
2 Maintain your vehicle Replacing a dirty clogged air filter will go a long way to improving your carrsquos fuel efficiency According to the federal government your carrsquos gas mileage could improve by as much as 10 percent with a clean air filter In addition to the fuel savings the new filter will help protect your en-gine as well
3 Clean your fuel sys-tem Carbon and resin buildup in your carrsquos fuel system stifles your en-ginersquos ability to breathe and reduces fuel efficien-cy Flush out your fuel system including the fuel injector intake valve and combustion chamber with a specialized tank addi-
tive Better yet have your fuel system professionally
4 Take it easy and slow down Driving your car at high speeds ldquojack-rab-bit startsrdquo and aggres-sive driving in traffic can greatly reduce fuel effi-ciency The US Depart-ment of Energy says ldquoAs a rule of thumb you can assume that each 5 miles per hour you drive over 60 miles per hour is like pay-ing an additional 20 cents per gallon for gasrdquo
5 Remove excessive weight Remove any un-necessary objects in your vehicle especially heavy items An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle reduces fuel efficiency by as much as 2 percent Lighten up and mileage will go up
6 Use your air condi-tioning sparingly
These tips will help you improve your car and save money

New ag complex hosts second livestock show
By Kim CoxkcoxcampcountynowcomOn March 22-23 Pitts-
burg Independent School District will host another youth project livestock show the second held in the new showbarn on Broach Street
Willie Morgan with the school districtrsquos ag sci-ence program said hav-ing a show in the spring at this time is risky
ldquoYou donrsquot want to spread students too thinrdquo he said with other schools hosting their own shows this time of year ldquoYoursquore taking a chance when you do Therersquos so few dates to do sordquo
However Mr Morgan said last semesterrsquos show had a phenomenal atten-dance
ldquoIt was such a great turnout and if we can get anything close we will have a successful showrdquo he said
This semester the show will be a two-day event with the county show on March 22 and the open show the next day There is no pre-registration for the events Mr Morgan said
ldquoItrsquos whatrsquos called blow and showrdquo he said ldquoPeo-ple show up pay the entry fees and leave after show-ing It moves people out
pretty quicklyrdquoThe livestock show will
also include a petting zoo for younger Pittsburg stu-dents
ldquoOne of our primary goals with the spring show is to motivate lower grades into the ag scienc-esrdquo Mr Morgan said ldquoA lot of kids just donrsquot know we existrdquo
Judging for the coun-ty show competition will be Dennis Guidry from Ashdown Ark a judge Pittsburg has never used before
ldquoHe came highly rec-ommendedrdquo Mr Morgan said ldquoWe hope we have a good showrdquo
On March 14 at 530 pm the Northeast Tex-as Writersrsquo Organization (NETWO) will hold its monthly meeting at the Mount Pleasant Public Library Plans for the up-coming spring writersrsquo conference will be dis-cussed In addition the agenda usually includes
a brief business meeting and afterward members share works in progress Guests are also welcome to share
Additionally many NETWO members meet informally at noon on Saturdays at the Pizza Inn in Pittsburg
NETWO meeting are
free and open to aspiring writers and their friends For more information about meeting and other activities sponsored by NETWO visit the web-site wwwnetwoorg
Writersrsquo group to meet on Thursday evening
March 1 through May 31 ndash marks the most danger-ous season on Texas road-ways for alcohol-related traffic crashes Thatrsquos why the Texas Department of Transportation is remind-ing motorists to line up a PASS ndash a Person Ap-pointed to Stay Sober ndash be-cause even ldquobuzzedrdquo driv-ing is drunk driving
In 2011 spring account-ed for 26 percent of all alcohol-related traffic crashes in Texas accord-ing to TxDOT more than any other season At the same time weekends con-tinue to claim too many lives ndash more than half (58 percent) of all alcohol-re-lated crashes occurred on a weekend in 2011 With spring break and holiday weekends approaching TxDOT wants motorists to know that consuming just a few drinks can still impair a personrsquos ability to drive and it has launched a public safety campaign to let them know of the ef-
fect alcohol has on driving State law makes it il-
legal for someone with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 008 percent or higher to drive a vehi-cle However drivers can be arrested with a BAC below 08 when a law en-forcement officer has probable cause based on the driverrsquos behavior
ldquoPeople often donrsquot rec-ognize the impact that one or two drinks can have on their ability to operate a vehiclerdquo said John Barton TxDOTrsquos deputy executive director ldquoAlcohol slows your reaction time reduc-es your ability to properly gauge speed or distance from other objects and makes it difficult for you to focus on the road It takes less alcohol than you think so donrsquot take a chancerdquo
People tend to underes-timate their BAC when drinking alcohol accord-ing to a study by the Na-tional Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism As
a result they may think they are still OK to drive because they have only consumed a couple of drinks when in fact they may be impaired
TxDOT will be traveling in March to entertainment districts and college cam-puses throughout the state to remind motorists that ldquobuzzed driving is drunk drivingrdquo and to always line up a PASS ndash every week-end every season Events in the entertainment dis-tricts will conduct hands-on demonstrations that illustrate how consuming alcohol can impair onersquos ability to drive while at college campuses stu-dents will see what itrsquos like behind bars through an interactive backdrop dis-play Students will be able to share their photos and encourage friends to plan ahead for a PASS For more information contact TxDOT Media Relations at MediaRelationstxdotgov or call 512-463-8700

Good news for the esti-mated one in five allergy sufferers who have pets There are ways you and your pet can live together The experts at the Amer-ican College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology suggest you
bull Keep your pet out of the bedroom You spend as much as a third of your time there Letting a dog or cat in increases your exposure to dander and the likelihood of allergic reaction
bull Bathe your pet frequent-ly Itrsquos not the hair shed by the dog or cat that causes you to suffer itrsquos the loose flakes of skin he deposits around the house Bathe your pet at least once a week and dry him as best you can to limit the ani-malrsquos shaking and stirring up more dander
bull Replace air filters reg-
ularly With a pet in the house you should replace the filter in your forced-air heating and cooling sys-tem at least once a month A high-quality pleated filter offers more surface area to capture more dan-der than a flat-surface fil-ter
bull Clean your house fre-quently Doctors recom-mend frequent vacuum-ing of both hard-surface and carpeted floors heav-ily upholstered furniture and draperies
bull Consider a central vac-
uum system These offer the most cleaning power available to remove 100 percent of captured dan-der from the living area without stirring up dust
Reducing exposure through environmental controls however may not be sufficient for some allergic patients You may need an over-the-counter or prescription medica-tion to live comfortably with your pet Ask your physician about the ap-propriate treatment for you

bull 75 percent eat most meals and snacks in the kitchen as a family
bull 75 percent say that in an average week they eat together four or more nights
bull 84 percent say that one of their favorite parts of the day is when their fam-ily eats together
bull Nearly 60 percent would rather spend time with their family or spouse than receive a $5000 pay

ldquoIt might feel like family dinner is part of a bygone erardquo said Welchrsquos Health and Nutrition Advisory Panel member and RD Sarah-Jane Bedwell ldquoBut parents are making meal-times a priority in order to share a moment with their children Thatrsquos good news because research has shown an association between regular family meals and improved fam-ily nutrition and overall well-beingrdquo
Despite the positive trend many families still
face mealtime challenges Four-in-10 survey respon-dents cite the lack of time to cook meals especially healthy meals as a top barrier to family meal-times
ldquoThere are solutions to combat common meal-time obstaclesrdquo said Ms Bedwell ldquoTo help fam-ilies enjoy more happy and healthy mealtime mo-ments we created an on-line toolkit that includes family-friendly meal makeovers heart-healthy recipes and morerdquo

One Manrsquos Opinionby Roy Knox
I`m usually not such a pessimistic person but the actions taken by Obama`s administration toward the energy producers in this country are quite frank-ly convincing me that few if any middle class workers will ever really get to retire
In his second inaugural speech Obama blames crippling droughts and power-ful storms on carbon emissions (which in turn cause global warming) and he plans to greatly curtail them His prima-ry target is coal-fired power plants the largest provider of electrical power in the country The plan is to have the EPA regulate these plants out of existence or at least to cause a huge jump in prices where they would fall in line with what it costs to produce power from solar or wind-driven generators It doesn`t seem to matter that we do not have these solar or wind-driven generators in place those are just details
My friends that`s four to six times what it is costing us now Natural gas is an option but the price is always volatile (huge price per Million British Thermal Units - MBTU) when in demand plus it is a fossil fuel and doesn`t fit in to Obamarsquos environmental legacy Of course we are not the only country to use coal as a fuel to create electricity China India Russia and Brazil also use coal to produce elec-tricity with little if any pollution controls Pollution controls cost a tremendous
amount of money to install and main-tain and use a lot of power to make them work Obama asked these other countries to agree to carbon emission restrictions but they declined What a surprise Well at least Obama and Al Gore will be able to sit around in their air conditioned houses 10 years from now and wonder (but not care) what the poor people are doing

Dear EditorI observed a problem on
a county road last week and had to call the Camp County Sheriffrsquos Office Deputy Jimmy Coleman responded quickly and thankfully he was able to handle the situation He was outstanding he went above and beyond the call of duty
I think we are very fortu-nate to have officers like Deputy Coleman serving us in Camp County
Clinton Evetts
Deputy Coleman to the rescue
meanors and who canrsquot make bond be held in jail for another 30 days until the next docket callrdquo Sheriff McCandless said
Normal misdemeanor criminal court is on the fourth Tuesday of each month This is commonly referred to as docket call because all pending cases that are ready for prose-cution are called
ldquoThis usually takes all dayrdquo County Judge Thomas Cravey said ldquoWe schedule cases in the morning session for defendants represent-ed by attorneys and the afternoon session for defendants who have chosen to appear without an attorney and repre-sent themselves The number of morning and afternoon cases will be roughly 5050rdquo
Judge Cravey said most cases in county court are resolved by plea bargain
ldquoWe occasionally will have a bench trial on docket day or one may be scheduled on a different dayrdquo he said
Court for jail cases is
held on an as-needed basis varying from once or twice a month to some-times once a week
ldquoWe are usually in court one to four additional days throughout the month and we may have one jail case on that docket or 10rdquo Mrs Hammonds said ldquoIt really varies based upon the need of the sheriffrsquos department and who is in the jail with just misde-meanor casesrdquo
Judge Cravey said these consist of defendants not eligible for bond unable to financially make bond or waiting for transfer to state prisons or other counties
ldquoNot all defendants who appear at these hear-ing will be releasedrdquo he said ldquoFrequently defen-dants receive a county jail sentence for a violation of their probations Expe-diting the hearings still permits the jail to calcu-late sentences and release datesrdquo
Mrs Hammonds said they have special settings whenever the need arises from the jail
ldquoThe jail is limited by the total number of inmates it can hold at one timerdquo she said ldquoIt is further limited by the number of female inmates it can have If there are inmates that cannot make bond on a misdemeanor case or inmates who are incar-cerated on a motion to revoke and there is no bond set we will often have a hearing to take care of those cases first rather than waiting for our set monthly docketrdquo
Mrs Hammonds said that the time inmates who canrsquot bond out of jail are held until they go to court varies widely depending on the individual
ldquoGenerally if some-one canrsquot make bond on a misdemeanor they go to court within a monthrdquo she said ldquosometimes it is even within a few days depending on the popu-lation of the jail Howev-er if the inmate has both misdemeanor and felony cases they are not gener-ally brought over for a special session because they typically cannot
or will not resolve their misdemeanor case until the felony case is resolvedrdquo
Judge Cravey said there are special provisions for handling defendants with hot check charges
ldquoWe hold court as often as needed to facilitate collection of restitution and reduce jail crowdingrdquo he said ldquoMost hot check defendants are eligible for a payment plan A common procedure is to book them into jail on outstanding warrants bring them immediately or on the next business day to appear before me and release them with a monitored payment plan They are required to appear in court on docket call day to monitor their compliancerdquo
Sheriff McCandless said another difficult situa-tion as far as clearing beds in the jail is when an inmate is sentenced to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice
ldquoThere is a paperwork process that sometimes takes up to 30 days from
start to finish to get them in TDCJrdquo Sher-iff McCandless said ldquoYou might have seven or eight that plead to TDCJ but you still have to wait until the paper-work goes through We usually always have some inmates in custody await-ing trialrdquo
Sheriff McCandless said there is no doubt that Camp County is going to need a larger jail in the near future
ldquoI think it is something the county is going to have to look at in the next five years or sordquo he said
There is the option of housing inmates in an out-of-county jail howev-er that is costly
ldquoIt costs $40 per day per inmate to house them somewhere elserdquo Sheriff McCandless
ldquoThat equates to $1200 a month for just one inmate Thatrsquos why coop-eration from the county attorney the district attorney and the judges to keep the inmates rotat-ing out is so importantrdquo

Instead of curling up in
a ball of hurt hate and resentment John-Mi-chael Keyes and his wife Ellen have gone forward since the death of their child in a school shooting to bring many messages to others Mr Keyes spoke at Region VIII Service Center to a room full of educators law enforce-ment and first respond-ers to tell the journey of his life since Sept 27 2006 when his daughter was killed by a gunman who had invaded Platte Canyon High School
Emily had just turned 16 prior to the shoot-ing and was in her high school English class when the gunman burst in He released all the boys and some of the girls keeping seven girls in the room one of them Emily Later when SWAT went in the building he used Emily as a human shield and shot her in the back of the head just before he was taken down
From this tragedy the ldquoI Love You Guysrdquo founda-tion was formed With the
Emily Keyes lost her life Sept 27 2006 at Platte Canyon High School in Bailey Colo when a gunman held her and others hostages in an English classroom
Father of slain student brings powerful message to educators law enforcement at Region VIII seminar
desire to turn their loss into urging school safety for other children the Keyes travel and speak of studies they have made on school safety
ldquoPeace ndash it means to be in a place of trouble and still have calm in your heartrdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoMy objec-tive is when I am done with my story your story begins We talk to our kids about fire and give them multiple strategies in case of fire How many kids have we lost to a fire in a school in 50 years None How many have we lost to active violence in the last few years Hundreds It is time we talk to our kids We can stop violence and continue to stop itrdquo
Mr Keyes talked about Safe 2 Tell which is an intervention tool so students can learn about violence before it happens
ldquoIn 81 percent of the cases someone knew in advancerdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoThere is violence in bullying weapons in schools suicide interven-tions and interventions where they found planned school attacks that start-ed out small and were caughtrdquo
Mr Keyes recalled Sept 27 2006
ldquoThat day it was Emilyrsquos turn to driverdquo he said ldquoShe has a twin broth-er Casey It was off to school like any other day The resource officer left the school and a stranger was in the parking lot and walked into the school He fired a round into a
wall and asked the male students and some female students to leave the room including the teach-er A 52-year-old stranger held seven girls hostagerdquo
Mr Keyes did not know how to text in 2006 and since he knew Emily had a cell phone with that capa-bility he yelled if anyone outside the school in his
vicinity was under 30 and could text A reporter helped and texted Emily asking how she was She texted back ldquoI Love You Guysrdquo They texted her asking her where she was but they never received a reply
After the Keyes lost their daughter they were amazed at the outpour-ing of love from the local people
ldquoWe started the lsquoI Love You Guysrsquo foundationrdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoOur mission statement is lsquoto restore and protect the joy of youth through educa-tional programs and posi-tive actions in collab-oration with families schools communities organizations and govern-ment entitiesrsquordquo
Emilyrsquos Parade was founded a year after her death and is held yearly to raise money for the foun-dationrsquos work There is also a 5K run for emergen-cy responders and anyone else who wants to run
ldquoWe went to conferences after Emily died and tried to figure out who was doing whatrdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoTeachers and staff are the first ones to own the threat and the ones
who are left to cope with the after effect In study-ing school plans we found out there was no common language that the schools used Schools in the same area used different codes We looked at federal and state levels to see if there was a common level We found it closer to home in Broomfield Colo That school has put together a school safety plan From that the foundation has developed the Standard Response Protocol for schools and law enforce-ment to follow There is a demand for clearer infor-mation We need to tell our kids what is going on when it is going on Direct and honest communica-tion is importantrdquo
Mr Keyes talked about lockouts lockdowns evacuations and shelter
ldquoCreate a time barrier so law enforcement can get thererdquo he said
Mr Keyes said there is a lot of information schools can download at no charge from the foun-dation web site at httpsIluvyouguysorg
ldquoOur information outlines how you can do this at your schoolrdquo he said

Department to increase patrols over Spring Break
The Texas Depart-ment of Public Safety (DPS) will increase DWI patrols from March 8 ndash March 17 one of the most active Spring Break periods in Texas DPS troopers will focus DWI patrols in high-risk locations at times when alcohol-related crashes are most frequent The enhanced patrols that target intoxicated driv-ers are funded through a grant from the Texas Department of Trans-portation
ldquoToo frequently people choose to drink and drive during Spring Break which is an extremely danger-ous decision that often leads to senseless trag-edyrdquo said DPS Direc-tor Steven McCraw ldquoGetting impaired driv-ers off the roads during Spring Break is a major
priority for the depart-ment and we also urge the public to make responsible decisions such as designating a non-drinking driver or finding alternative transportation if they are impairedrdquo
During last yearrsquos Spring Break enforce-ment period DPS troop-ers made more than 1000 DWI arrests and approximately 300 were the direct result of the increased patrols funded by the grant DPS enforcement also resulted in more than 9400 speeding citations 1500 seat beltchild safety seat tickets and 12500 other citations
In addition troop-ers made 545 fugitive arrests and 402 felony arrests during routine patrol operations during that same time period
The drinking age in Texas is 21 and any driver under that age with any detectable amount of alcohol in their system can be charged with break-ing the law Addition-al troopers will also be patrolling in areas with high concentrations of Spring Break activity
DPS offers the follow-ing tips for safe travel during the Spring Break holiday
bullSlow down ndash espe-cially in bad weath-er construction areas heavy traffic and unfa-miliar areas
bullEliminate distrac-tions while driving including the usage of mobile devices
bullBuckle up everyone in the vehicle ndash itrsquos the law
bullDonrsquot drive fatigued and allow plenty of time to reach your destina-tion
bullDrive defensively as holiday travel may pres-ent additional challeng-es
bullMake sure your vehi-cle is properly main-tained before your trip begins
bullSlow down or move over for tow trucks and police fire and EMS vehicles stopped on the side of the road with emergency lights acti-vated ndash itrsquos the law
bullAvoid travel to Mexico (US citi-zens who do travel to Mexico should always check the US Depart-ment of State website for the latest informa-tion regarding securi-ty issues in Mexico and they should register with the Smart Travel-er Enrollment Program by visiting httptravelstategovtravelcis_pa_twciscis_970html)

While colon cancer is the third-leading cancer killer in the United States it is also a preventable and treatable diseasemdashif diag-nosed in its early stages
If you are turning 50 donrsquot put off colon cancer screening While March is officially National Colorectal Cancer Aware-ness Month any time is a good time to learn the facts about colon cancer preventionSilent Killer
Colon cancer also known as colorectal cancer takes the lives of more than 50000 Amer-icans each year Itrsquos a silent killer because often there are no symptoms until it is too late to treat Age is the single largest risk factor for the disease Most colon cancers arise from precancer-ous growths in the colon called polyps which can be found during a screen-ing exam and removed before they turn into cancerScreening Saves Lives
The American Soci-ety for Gastrointesti-nal Endoscopy (ASGE) representing the experts in colon cancer screening recommends screening
begin at age 50 A person at average risk with normal screening results wonrsquot need another exam for 10 years If polyps or cancer is found screen-ing intervals should be more frequent Colon cancer runs in families so screening should begin sooner if there is a family history of polyps or colon cancer or if other risk factors are present Some experts suggest Afri-can-Americans should begin screening at age 45
Screening methods include colonoscopy sigmoidoscopy stool blood tests such as fecal occult blood test (FOBT) or fecal immunochemi-cal test (FIT) stool DNA CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) and barium enemaColonoscopy
Colonoscopy is consid-ered the preferred screen-ing method because it is a preventive exam It is the only test that both finds and removes precancerous polyps during the same exam With other methods if a polyp or other abnor-mality is found the test must often be followed by a colonoscopy Colonosco-
py is a safe effective and well-tolerated exam
ldquoASGE encourages patients to get screened at intervals recommend-ed by their doctor to find a qualified endoscopist for their colonoscopy who has had specialized train-ing in the procedure and to carefully follow prepa-ration instructions to ensure that the colon is thoroughly cleaned so that no polyps or cancers are missed during the procedurerdquo said ASGE President Thomas M Deas Jr MD MMM FASGE ldquoA quality colo-noscopy and appropri-ate follow-up exams save livesrdquoColon Cancer Facts

Go Tell Crusade to host kick-off banquet March 18By Kim Cox
kcoxcampcountynowcom
Evangelist Rick Gage will host a Go Tell cru-sade this May but first he will be here on March 18 for a kick-off banquet
held in Mount PleasantldquoThe vision for a crusade
came about as the result of a conversation with Bo Pilgrim last yearrdquo said Rev Gage whose father is an evangelist as well ldquoHe expressed a desire to
see another crusade come to the PittsburgMount Pleasant areardquo
Rev Gage said they talk-ed about the previous cru-sade when the Rev Billy Graham came to Mount Pleasant in 2000
ldquoHe felt it was time for another onerdquo Rev Gage said
Rev Gage said his min-istry focuses on more ru-ral areas as opposed to big cities with a special emphasis on reaching the youth
ldquoBobby Bowden a great college football coach at Florida State said lsquoAmer-icarsquos youth may not be 100 percent of the population but it is 100 percent of our futurersquordquo Mr Gage said ldquoWe want to do all we can to reach the kidsrdquo
The actual crusade to be held on May 12-15 will include a special youth night on May 15
Rev Gage is a native of Dallas who now lives in the Atlanta Ga area
Orignially he said foot-ball was his life and after graduating from Camer-on University in Oklaho-ma he became a football coach at Texas Tech Uni-versity
Then one Sunday he said he felt compelled to go to church to hear an evangelist friend of his fa-therrsquos
ldquoIt was while I was liv-ing in Lubbock striving to become the next Tom Landry when God got a hold of my liferdquo he said
After coming to Christ Rev Gage quit his job at Tech and went to coach football at Liberty Univer-sity in Virginia the uni-versity started by Jerry Falwell He worked there for two years before he said Christ called him in a
different direction ldquoI had lost the ambi-
tionrdquo he said ldquoI had lost the firerdquo
Rev Gage quit coaching and surrendered to the ministry enrolling in the graduate program at Lib-erty University to become a full-time evangelist like his father
After graduating he said his ldquoheart was to reach rural Americardquo
ldquoPeople in small towns need Jesus just as much as big townsrdquo Rev Gage said
While in the area Rev
Gage will also address all the junior highs and high schools in the area as a motivational speaker speaking to 6000 students in Northeast Texas
ldquoWersquoll be reinforcing what the school systems are trying to accomplish to combat drugs and al-coholrdquo he said ldquoWe want to remind these teenag-ers you were born to be a winner in the game of liferdquo
The kick-off banquet will be held on March 18 at the Mount Pleasant Civic Center
Take it easy save moneyLetrsquos face it Your gas dol-
lars arenrsquot going nearly as far as they used to
However there are a number of things you can do to help improve your carrsquos fuel efficiency Con-sider these six tips from the car-care experts to maximize your carrsquos per-formance
1 Check your tire pres-sure Improperly inflated
tires can greatly reduce your fuel economy so make sure your tires are inflated to the manufac-turerrsquos recommended pressure level
2 Maintain your vehicle Replacing a dirty clogged air filter will go a long way to improving your carrsquos fuel efficiency According to the federal government your carrsquos gas mileage could improve by as much as 10 percent with a clean air filter In addition to the fuel savings the new filter will help protect your en-gine as well
3 Clean your fuel sys-tem Carbon and resin buildup in your carrsquos fuel system stifles your en-ginersquos ability to breathe and reduces fuel efficien-cy Flush out your fuel system including the fuel injector intake valve and combustion chamber with a specialized tank addi-
tive Better yet have your fuel system professionally
4 Take it easy and slow down Driving your car at high speeds ldquojack-rab-bit startsrdquo and aggres-sive driving in traffic can greatly reduce fuel effi-ciency The US Depart-ment of Energy says ldquoAs a rule of thumb you can assume that each 5 miles per hour you drive over 60 miles per hour is like pay-ing an additional 20 cents per gallon for gasrdquo
5 Remove excessive weight Remove any un-necessary objects in your vehicle especially heavy items An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle reduces fuel efficiency by as much as 2 percent Lighten up and mileage will go up
6 Use your air condi-tioning sparingly
These tips will help you improve your car and save money

New ag complex hosts second livestock show
By Kim CoxkcoxcampcountynowcomOn March 22-23 Pitts-
burg Independent School District will host another youth project livestock show the second held in the new showbarn on Broach Street
Willie Morgan with the school districtrsquos ag sci-ence program said hav-ing a show in the spring at this time is risky
ldquoYou donrsquot want to spread students too thinrdquo he said with other schools hosting their own shows this time of year ldquoYoursquore taking a chance when you do Therersquos so few dates to do sordquo
However Mr Morgan said last semesterrsquos show had a phenomenal atten-dance
ldquoIt was such a great turnout and if we can get anything close we will have a successful showrdquo he said
This semester the show will be a two-day event with the county show on March 22 and the open show the next day There is no pre-registration for the events Mr Morgan said
ldquoItrsquos whatrsquos called blow and showrdquo he said ldquoPeo-ple show up pay the entry fees and leave after show-ing It moves people out
pretty quicklyrdquoThe livestock show will
also include a petting zoo for younger Pittsburg stu-dents
ldquoOne of our primary goals with the spring show is to motivate lower grades into the ag scienc-esrdquo Mr Morgan said ldquoA lot of kids just donrsquot know we existrdquo
Judging for the coun-ty show competition will be Dennis Guidry from Ashdown Ark a judge Pittsburg has never used before
ldquoHe came highly rec-ommendedrdquo Mr Morgan said ldquoWe hope we have a good showrdquo
On March 14 at 530 pm the Northeast Tex-as Writersrsquo Organization (NETWO) will hold its monthly meeting at the Mount Pleasant Public Library Plans for the up-coming spring writersrsquo conference will be dis-cussed In addition the agenda usually includes
a brief business meeting and afterward members share works in progress Guests are also welcome to share
Additionally many NETWO members meet informally at noon on Saturdays at the Pizza Inn in Pittsburg
NETWO meeting are
free and open to aspiring writers and their friends For more information about meeting and other activities sponsored by NETWO visit the web-site wwwnetwoorg

March 1 through May 31 ndash marks the most danger-ous season on Texas road-ways for alcohol-related traffic crashes Thatrsquos why the Texas Department of Transportation is remind-ing motorists to line up a PASS ndash a Person Ap-pointed to Stay Sober ndash be-cause even ldquobuzzedrdquo driv-ing is drunk driving
In 2011 spring account-ed for 26 percent of all alcohol-related traffic crashes in Texas accord-ing to TxDOT more than any other season At the same time weekends con-tinue to claim too many lives ndash more than half (58 percent) of all alcohol-re-lated crashes occurred on a weekend in 2011 With spring break and holiday weekends approaching TxDOT wants motorists to know that consuming just a few drinks can still impair a personrsquos ability to drive and it has launched a public safety campaign to let them know of the ef-
fect alcohol has on driving State law makes it il-
legal for someone with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 008 percent or higher to drive a vehi-cle However drivers can be arrested with a BAC below 08 when a law en-forcement officer has probable cause based on the driverrsquos behavior
ldquoPeople often donrsquot rec-ognize the impact that one or two drinks can have on their ability to operate a vehiclerdquo said John Barton TxDOTrsquos deputy executive director ldquoAlcohol slows your reaction time reduc-es your ability to properly gauge speed or distance from other objects and makes it difficult for you to focus on the road It takes less alcohol than you think so donrsquot take a chancerdquo
People tend to underes-timate their BAC when drinking alcohol accord-ing to a study by the Na-tional Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism As
a result they may think they are still OK to drive because they have only consumed a couple of drinks when in fact they may be impaired
TxDOT will be traveling in March to entertainment districts and college cam-puses throughout the state to remind motorists that ldquobuzzed driving is drunk drivingrdquo and to always line up a PASS ndash every week-end every season Events in the entertainment dis-tricts will conduct hands-on demonstrations that illustrate how consuming alcohol can impair onersquos ability to drive while at college campuses stu-dents will see what itrsquos like behind bars through an interactive backdrop dis-play Students will be able to share their photos and encourage friends to plan ahead for a PASS For more information contact TxDOT Media Relations at MediaRelationstxdotgov or call 512-463-8700

Good news for the esti-mated one in five allergy sufferers who have pets There are ways you and your pet can live together The experts at the Amer-ican College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology suggest you
bull Keep your pet out of the bedroom You spend as much as a third of your time there Letting a dog or cat in increases your exposure to dander and the likelihood of allergic reaction
bull Bathe your pet frequent-ly Itrsquos not the hair shed by the dog or cat that causes you to suffer itrsquos the loose flakes of skin he deposits around the house Bathe your pet at least once a week and dry him as best you can to limit the ani-malrsquos shaking and stirring up more dander
bull Replace air filters reg-
ularly With a pet in the house you should replace the filter in your forced-air heating and cooling sys-tem at least once a month A high-quality pleated filter offers more surface area to capture more dan-der than a flat-surface fil-ter
bull Clean your house fre-quently Doctors recom-mend frequent vacuum-ing of both hard-surface and carpeted floors heav-ily upholstered furniture and draperies
bull Consider a central vac-
uum system These offer the most cleaning power available to remove 100 percent of captured dan-der from the living area without stirring up dust
Reducing exposure through environmental controls however may not be sufficient for some allergic patients You may need an over-the-counter or prescription medica-tion to live comfortably with your pet Ask your physician about the ap-propriate treatment for you

Hectic schedules and increasing demands con-tinue to impact todayrsquos American families but perhaps one of the stron-gest barometers of fam-ilies is family mealtime Welchrsquos Kitchen Table Report shows families are stronger than evermdashmak-ing time to eat together frequently and enjoying sharing quality time as a family
gether as often as or more today than their families did when they were chil-dren
bull 75 percent eat most meals and snacks in the kitchen as a family
bull 75 percent say that in an average week they eat together four or more nights
bull 84 percent say that one of their favorite parts of the day is when their fam-ily eats together
bull Nearly 60 percent would rather spend time with their family or spouse than receive a $5000 pay
raise lose 10 pounds go on a Caribbean cruise or get more sleep
ldquoIt might feel like family dinner is part of a bygone erardquo said Welchrsquos Health and Nutrition Advisory Panel member and RD Sarah-Jane Bedwell ldquoBut parents are making meal-times a priority in order to share a moment with their children Thatrsquos good news because research has shown an association between regular family meals and improved fam-ily nutrition and overall well-beingrdquo
Despite the positive trend many families still
face mealtime challenges Four-in-10 survey respon-dents cite the lack of time to cook meals especially healthy meals as a top barrier to family meal-times
ldquoThere are solutions to combat common meal-time obstaclesrdquo said Ms Bedwell ldquoTo help fam-ilies enjoy more happy and healthy mealtime mo-ments we created an on-line toolkit that includes family-friendly meal makeovers heart-healthy recipes and morerdquo

Viewpoints OPINIONS COLUMNS
One Manrsquos Opinionby Roy Knox
I`m usually not such a pessimistic person but the actions taken by Obama`s administration toward the energy producers in this country are quite frank-ly convincing me that few if any middle class workers will ever really get to retire
In his second inaugural speech Obama blames crippling droughts and power-ful storms on carbon emissions (which in turn cause global warming) and he plans to greatly curtail them His prima-ry target is coal-fired power plants the largest provider of electrical power in the country The plan is to have the EPA regulate these plants out of existence or at least to cause a huge jump in prices where they would fall in line with what it costs to produce power from solar or wind-driven generators It doesn`t seem to matter that we do not have these solar or wind-driven generators in place those are just details
My friends that`s four to six times what it is costing us now Natural gas is an option but the price is always volatile (huge price per Million British Thermal Units - MBTU) when in demand plus it is a fossil fuel and doesn`t fit in to Obamarsquos environmental legacy Of course we are not the only country to use coal as a fuel to create electricity China India Russia and Brazil also use coal to produce elec-tricity with little if any pollution controls Pollution controls cost a tremendous
amount of money to install and main-tain and use a lot of power to make them work Obama asked these other countries to agree to carbon emission restrictions but they declined What a surprise Well at least Obama and Al Gore will be able to sit around in their air conditioned houses 10 years from now and wonder (but not care) what the poor people are doing
bullldquoPETArdquo has assured people there is no truth to the rumor there would be elephants at Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie`s wedding No wildlife at all Well if you don`t count the six children The way I see it it`s none of ldquoPETArsquosrdquo busi-ness what they do Expect Jolie to buy
another couple of children before they wed in May She might have not realized it at the time but Jennifer Aniston was so lucky she avoided this train wreck meaning Brad Pitt
bullEric Holder claims the government has the right to kill Americans on their native soil without due process Best I can remember that is exactly what happened in Waco about 20 years ago Gee Holder was involved there too
bullState Senator Audrey Gibson D-Jack-sonville has filed a bill to require taking an ldquoanger management courserdquo before an individual can purchase a certain amount of ammunition The certifica-tion would have to be renewed every 10
years Are you kidding What a waste of time And you still wonder why gun owners are paranoid
bullI know we can`t require testing a person for ldquominimal skillsrdquo before allow-ing them to vote That would eliminate too many Democratic core voters but shouldn`t we have something in place for the people running for office Maxine Waters D-California wrongly declared if the sequester is allowed to happen we would lose 170 million jobs in this coun-try The problem is there are only 134 million jobs in this country Who am I kidding If we actually tested for job placement Joe Biden would be an assis-tant ditch digger
bullAt dinner over the weekend the ladies ordered a drink that was prepared at the table The first ingredient was ldquodry icerdquo I`m not sure what else was put in the concoction but what it reminded me of was a toss-up It was either an intro to ldquoSmoke on the Waterrdquo by Deep Purple or a witchrsquos caldron bubbling and turn-ing The women claimed the drinks were wonderful I stuck with ice water being the safe and responsible person I am
bullWith all of this talk and actual fights of drones patrolling different parts of this country it`s amazing how quiet the ACLU is It`s funny how the ACLU and NOW have nothing to say when there is a liberal in office
When electricity is unaffordable

Dear EditorI observed a problem on
a county road last week and had to call the Camp County Sheriffrsquos Office Deputy Jimmy Coleman responded quickly and thankfully he was able to handle the situation He was outstanding he went above and beyond the call of duty
I think we are very fortu-nate to have officers like Deputy Coleman serving us in Camp County

meanors and who canrsquot make bond be held in jail for another 30 days until the next docket callrdquo Sheriff McCandless said
Normal misdemeanor criminal court is on the fourth Tuesday of each month This is commonly referred to as docket call because all pending cases that are ready for prose-cution are called
ldquoThis usually takes all dayrdquo County Judge Thomas Cravey said ldquoWe schedule cases in the morning session for defendants represent-ed by attorneys and the afternoon session for defendants who have chosen to appear without an attorney and repre-sent themselves The number of morning and afternoon cases will be roughly 5050rdquo
Judge Cravey said most cases in county court are resolved by plea bargain
ldquoWe occasionally will have a bench trial on docket day or one may be scheduled on a different dayrdquo he said
Court for jail cases is
held on an as-needed basis varying from once or twice a month to some-times once a week
ldquoWe are usually in court one to four additional days throughout the month and we may have one jail case on that docket or 10rdquo Mrs Hammonds said ldquoIt really varies based upon the need of the sheriffrsquos department and who is in the jail with just misde-meanor casesrdquo
Judge Cravey said these consist of defendants not eligible for bond unable to financially make bond or waiting for transfer to state prisons or other counties
ldquoNot all defendants who appear at these hear-ing will be releasedrdquo he said ldquoFrequently defen-dants receive a county jail sentence for a violation of their probations Expe-diting the hearings still permits the jail to calcu-late sentences and release datesrdquo
Mrs Hammonds said they have special settings whenever the need arises from the jail
ldquoThe jail is limited by the total number of inmates it can hold at one timerdquo she said ldquoIt is further limited by the number of female inmates it can have If there are inmates that cannot make bond on a misdemeanor case or inmates who are incar-cerated on a motion to revoke and there is no bond set we will often have a hearing to take care of those cases first rather than waiting for our set monthly docketrdquo
Mrs Hammonds said that the time inmates who canrsquot bond out of jail are held until they go to court varies widely depending on the individual
ldquoGenerally if some-one canrsquot make bond on a misdemeanor they go to court within a monthrdquo she said ldquosometimes it is even within a few days depending on the popu-lation of the jail Howev-er if the inmate has both misdemeanor and felony cases they are not gener-ally brought over for a special session because they typically cannot
or will not resolve their misdemeanor case until the felony case is resolvedrdquo
Judge Cravey said there are special provisions for handling defendants with hot check charges
ldquoWe hold court as often as needed to facilitate collection of restitution and reduce jail crowdingrdquo he said ldquoMost hot check defendants are eligible for a payment plan A common procedure is to book them into jail on outstanding warrants bring them immediately or on the next business day to appear before me and release them with a monitored payment plan They are required to appear in court on docket call day to monitor their compliancerdquo
Sheriff McCandless said another difficult situa-tion as far as clearing beds in the jail is when an inmate is sentenced to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice
ldquoThere is a paperwork process that sometimes takes up to 30 days from
start to finish to get them in TDCJrdquo Sher-iff McCandless said ldquoYou might have seven or eight that plead to TDCJ but you still have to wait until the paper-work goes through We usually always have some inmates in custody await-ing trialrdquo
Sheriff McCandless said there is no doubt that Camp County is going to need a larger jail in the near future
ldquoI think it is something the county is going to have to look at in the next five years or sordquo he said
There is the option of housing inmates in an out-of-county jail howev-er that is costly
ldquoIt costs $40 per day per inmate to house them somewhere elserdquo Sheriff McCandless
ldquoThat equates to $1200 a month for just one inmate Thatrsquos why coop-eration from the county attorney the district attorney and the judges to keep the inmates rotat-ing out is so importantrdquo

Instead of curling up in
a ball of hurt hate and resentment John-Mi-chael Keyes and his wife Ellen have gone forward since the death of their child in a school shooting to bring many messages to others Mr Keyes spoke at Region VIII Service Center to a room full of educators law enforce-ment and first respond-ers to tell the journey of his life since Sept 27 2006 when his daughter was killed by a gunman who had invaded Platte Canyon High School
Emily had just turned 16 prior to the shoot-ing and was in her high school English class when the gunman burst in He released all the boys and some of the girls keeping seven girls in the room one of them Emily Later when SWAT went in the building he used Emily as a human shield and shot her in the back of the head just before he was taken down
From this tragedy the ldquoI Love You Guysrdquo founda-tion was formed With the
Emily Keyes lost her life Sept 27 2006 at Platte Canyon High School in Bailey Colo when a gunman held her and others hostages in an English classroom
Father of slain student brings powerful message to educators law enforcement at Region VIII seminar
desire to turn their loss into urging school safety for other children the Keyes travel and speak of studies they have made on school safety
ldquoPeace ndash it means to be in a place of trouble and still have calm in your heartrdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoMy objec-tive is when I am done with my story your story begins We talk to our kids about fire and give them multiple strategies in case of fire How many kids have we lost to a fire in a school in 50 years None How many have we lost to active violence in the last few years Hundreds It is time we talk to our kids We can stop violence and continue to stop itrdquo
Mr Keyes talked about Safe 2 Tell which is an intervention tool so students can learn about violence before it happens
ldquoIn 81 percent of the cases someone knew in advancerdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoThere is violence in bullying weapons in schools suicide interven-tions and interventions where they found planned school attacks that start-ed out small and were caughtrdquo
Mr Keyes recalled Sept 27 2006
ldquoThat day it was Emilyrsquos turn to driverdquo he said ldquoShe has a twin broth-er Casey It was off to school like any other day The resource officer left the school and a stranger was in the parking lot and walked into the school He fired a round into a
wall and asked the male students and some female students to leave the room including the teach-er A 52-year-old stranger held seven girls hostagerdquo
Mr Keyes did not know how to text in 2006 and since he knew Emily had a cell phone with that capa-bility he yelled if anyone outside the school in his
vicinity was under 30 and could text A reporter helped and texted Emily asking how she was She texted back ldquoI Love You Guysrdquo They texted her asking her where she was but they never received a reply
After the Keyes lost their daughter they were amazed at the outpour-ing of love from the local people
ldquoWe started the lsquoI Love You Guysrsquo foundationrdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoOur mission statement is lsquoto restore and protect the joy of youth through educa-tional programs and posi-tive actions in collab-oration with families schools communities organizations and govern-ment entitiesrsquordquo
Emilyrsquos Parade was founded a year after her death and is held yearly to raise money for the foun-dationrsquos work There is also a 5K run for emergen-cy responders and anyone else who wants to run
ldquoWe went to conferences after Emily died and tried to figure out who was doing whatrdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoTeachers and staff are the first ones to own the threat and the ones
who are left to cope with the after effect In study-ing school plans we found out there was no common language that the schools used Schools in the same area used different codes We looked at federal and state levels to see if there was a common level We found it closer to home in Broomfield Colo That school has put together a school safety plan From that the foundation has developed the Standard Response Protocol for schools and law enforce-ment to follow There is a demand for clearer infor-mation We need to tell our kids what is going on when it is going on Direct and honest communica-tion is importantrdquo
Mr Keyes talked about lockouts lockdowns evacuations and shelter
ldquoCreate a time barrier so law enforcement can get thererdquo he said
Mr Keyes said there is a lot of information schools can download at no charge from the foun-dation web site at httpsIluvyouguysorg

Department to increase patrols over Spring Break
The Texas Depart-ment of Public Safety (DPS) will increase DWI patrols from March 8 ndash March 17 one of the most active Spring Break periods in Texas DPS troopers will focus DWI patrols in high-risk locations at times when alcohol-related crashes are most frequent The enhanced patrols that target intoxicated driv-ers are funded through a grant from the Texas Department of Trans-portation
ldquoToo frequently people choose to drink and drive during Spring Break which is an extremely danger-ous decision that often leads to senseless trag-edyrdquo said DPS Direc-tor Steven McCraw ldquoGetting impaired driv-ers off the roads during Spring Break is a major
priority for the depart-ment and we also urge the public to make responsible decisions such as designating a non-drinking driver or finding alternative transportation if they are impairedrdquo
During last yearrsquos Spring Break enforce-ment period DPS troop-ers made more than 1000 DWI arrests and approximately 300 were the direct result of the increased patrols funded by the grant DPS enforcement also resulted in more than 9400 speeding citations 1500 seat beltchild safety seat tickets and 12500 other citations
In addition troop-ers made 545 fugitive arrests and 402 felony arrests during routine patrol operations during that same time period
The drinking age in Texas is 21 and any driver under that age with any detectable amount of alcohol in their system can be charged with break-ing the law Addition-al troopers will also be patrolling in areas with high concentrations of Spring Break activity
DPS offers the follow-ing tips for safe travel during the Spring Break holiday

bullEliminate distrac-tions while driving including the usage of mobile devices

While colon cancer is the third-leading cancer killer in the United States it is also a preventable and treatable diseasemdashif diag-nosed in its early stages
If you are turning 50 donrsquot put off colon cancer screening While March is officially National Colorectal Cancer Aware-ness Month any time is a good time to learn the facts about colon cancer preventionSilent Killer
Colon cancer also known as colorectal cancer takes the lives of more than 50000 Amer-icans each year Itrsquos a silent killer because often there are no symptoms until it is too late to treat Age is the single largest risk factor for the disease Most colon cancers arise from precancer-ous growths in the colon called polyps which can be found during a screen-ing exam and removed before they turn into cancerScreening Saves Lives
The American Soci-ety for Gastrointesti-nal Endoscopy (ASGE) representing the experts in colon cancer screening recommends screening
begin at age 50 A person at average risk with normal screening results wonrsquot need another exam for 10 years If polyps or cancer is found screen-ing intervals should be more frequent Colon cancer runs in families so screening should begin sooner if there is a family history of polyps or colon cancer or if other risk factors are present Some experts suggest Afri-can-Americans should begin screening at age 45
Screening methods include colonoscopy sigmoidoscopy stool blood tests such as fecal occult blood test (FOBT) or fecal immunochemi-cal test (FIT) stool DNA CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) and barium enemaColonoscopy
Colonoscopy is consid-ered the preferred screen-ing method because it is a preventive exam It is the only test that both finds and removes precancerous polyps during the same exam With other methods if a polyp or other abnor-mality is found the test must often be followed by a colonoscopy Colonosco-
py is a safe effective and well-tolerated exam
ldquoASGE encourages patients to get screened at intervals recommend-ed by their doctor to find a qualified endoscopist for their colonoscopy who has had specialized train-ing in the procedure and to carefully follow prepa-ration instructions to ensure that the colon is thoroughly cleaned so that no polyps or cancers are missed during the procedurerdquo said ASGE President Thomas M Deas Jr MD MMM FASGE ldquoA quality colo-noscopy and appropri-ate follow-up exams save livesrdquoColon Cancer Facts

Rick Gage
Go Tell Crusade to host kick-off banquet March 18By Kim Cox
kcoxcampcountynowcom
Evangelist Rick Gage will host a Go Tell cru-sade this May but first he will be here on March 18 for a kick-off banquet
held in Mount PleasantldquoThe vision for a crusade
came about as the result of a conversation with Bo Pilgrim last yearrdquo said Rev Gage whose father is an evangelist as well ldquoHe expressed a desire to
see another crusade come to the PittsburgMount Pleasant areardquo
Rev Gage said they talk-ed about the previous cru-sade when the Rev Billy Graham came to Mount Pleasant in 2000
ldquoHe felt it was time for another onerdquo Rev Gage said
Rev Gage said his min-istry focuses on more ru-ral areas as opposed to big cities with a special emphasis on reaching the youth
ldquoBobby Bowden a great college football coach at Florida State said lsquoAmer-icarsquos youth may not be 100 percent of the population but it is 100 percent of our futurersquordquo Mr Gage said ldquoWe want to do all we can to reach the kidsrdquo
The actual crusade to be held on May 12-15 will include a special youth night on May 15
Rev Gage is a native of Dallas who now lives in the Atlanta Ga area
Orignially he said foot-ball was his life and after graduating from Camer-on University in Oklaho-ma he became a football coach at Texas Tech Uni-versity
Then one Sunday he said he felt compelled to go to church to hear an evangelist friend of his fa-therrsquos
ldquoIt was while I was liv-ing in Lubbock striving to become the next Tom Landry when God got a hold of my liferdquo he said
After coming to Christ Rev Gage quit his job at Tech and went to coach football at Liberty Univer-sity in Virginia the uni-versity started by Jerry Falwell He worked there for two years before he said Christ called him in a
different direction ldquoI had lost the ambi-
tionrdquo he said ldquoI had lost the firerdquo
Rev Gage quit coaching and surrendered to the ministry enrolling in the graduate program at Lib-erty University to become a full-time evangelist like his father
After graduating he said his ldquoheart was to reach rural Americardquo
ldquoPeople in small towns need Jesus just as much as big townsrdquo Rev Gage said
While in the area Rev
Gage will also address all the junior highs and high schools in the area as a motivational speaker speaking to 6000 students in Northeast Texas
ldquoWersquoll be reinforcing what the school systems are trying to accomplish to combat drugs and al-coholrdquo he said ldquoWe want to remind these teenag-ers you were born to be a winner in the game of liferdquo
The kick-off banquet will be held on March 18 at the Mount Pleasant Civic Center
Take it easy save moneyLetrsquos face it Your gas dol-
lars arenrsquot going nearly as far as they used to
However there are a number of things you can do to help improve your carrsquos fuel efficiency Con-sider these six tips from the car-care experts to maximize your carrsquos per-formance
1 Check your tire pres-sure Improperly inflated
tires can greatly reduce your fuel economy so make sure your tires are inflated to the manufac-turerrsquos recommended pressure level
2 Maintain your vehicle Replacing a dirty clogged air filter will go a long way to improving your carrsquos fuel efficiency According to the federal government your carrsquos gas mileage could improve by as much as 10 percent with a clean air filter In addition to the fuel savings the new filter will help protect your en-gine as well
3 Clean your fuel sys-tem Carbon and resin buildup in your carrsquos fuel system stifles your en-ginersquos ability to breathe and reduces fuel efficien-cy Flush out your fuel system including the fuel injector intake valve and combustion chamber with a specialized tank addi-
tive Better yet have your fuel system professionally
4 Take it easy and slow down Driving your car at high speeds ldquojack-rab-bit startsrdquo and aggres-sive driving in traffic can greatly reduce fuel effi-ciency The US Depart-ment of Energy says ldquoAs a rule of thumb you can assume that each 5 miles per hour you drive over 60 miles per hour is like pay-ing an additional 20 cents per gallon for gasrdquo
5 Remove excessive weight Remove any un-necessary objects in your vehicle especially heavy items An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle reduces fuel efficiency by as much as 2 percent Lighten up and mileage will go up
6 Use your air condi-tioning sparingly
These tips will help you improve your car and save money

New ag complex hosts second livestock show
By Kim CoxkcoxcampcountynowcomOn March 22-23 Pitts-
burg Independent School District will host another youth project livestock show the second held in the new showbarn on Broach Street
Willie Morgan with the school districtrsquos ag sci-ence program said hav-ing a show in the spring at this time is risky
ldquoYou donrsquot want to spread students too thinrdquo he said with other schools hosting their own shows this time of year ldquoYoursquore taking a chance when you do Therersquos so few dates to do sordquo
However Mr Morgan said last semesterrsquos show had a phenomenal atten-dance
ldquoIt was such a great turnout and if we can get anything close we will have a successful showrdquo he said
This semester the show will be a two-day event with the county show on March 22 and the open show the next day There is no pre-registration for the events Mr Morgan said
ldquoItrsquos whatrsquos called blow and showrdquo he said ldquoPeo-ple show up pay the entry fees and leave after show-ing It moves people out
pretty quicklyrdquoThe livestock show will
also include a petting zoo for younger Pittsburg stu-dents
ldquoOne of our primary goals with the spring show is to motivate lower grades into the ag scienc-esrdquo Mr Morgan said ldquoA lot of kids just donrsquot know we existrdquo
Judging for the coun-ty show competition will be Dennis Guidry from Ashdown Ark a judge Pittsburg has never used before
ldquoHe came highly rec-ommendedrdquo Mr Morgan said ldquoWe hope we have a good showrdquo
On March 14 at 530 pm the Northeast Tex-as Writersrsquo Organization (NETWO) will hold its monthly meeting at the Mount Pleasant Public Library Plans for the up-coming spring writersrsquo conference will be dis-cussed In addition the agenda usually includes

March 1 through May 31 ndash marks the most danger-ous season on Texas road-ways for alcohol-related traffic crashes Thatrsquos why the Texas Department of Transportation is remind-ing motorists to line up a PASS ndash a Person Ap-pointed to Stay Sober ndash be-cause even ldquobuzzedrdquo driv-ing is drunk driving
In 2011 spring account-ed for 26 percent of all alcohol-related traffic crashes in Texas accord-ing to TxDOT more than any other season At the same time weekends con-tinue to claim too many lives ndash more than half (58 percent) of all alcohol-re-lated crashes occurred on a weekend in 2011 With spring break and holiday weekends approaching TxDOT wants motorists to know that consuming just a few drinks can still impair a personrsquos ability to drive and it has launched a public safety campaign to let them know of the ef-
fect alcohol has on driving State law makes it il-
legal for someone with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 008 percent or higher to drive a vehi-cle However drivers can be arrested with a BAC below 08 when a law en-forcement officer has probable cause based on the driverrsquos behavior
ldquoPeople often donrsquot rec-ognize the impact that one or two drinks can have on their ability to operate a vehiclerdquo said John Barton TxDOTrsquos deputy executive director ldquoAlcohol slows your reaction time reduc-es your ability to properly gauge speed or distance from other objects and makes it difficult for you to focus on the road It takes less alcohol than you think so donrsquot take a chancerdquo
People tend to underes-timate their BAC when drinking alcohol accord-ing to a study by the Na-tional Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism As
a result they may think they are still OK to drive because they have only consumed a couple of drinks when in fact they may be impaired
TxDOT will be traveling in March to entertainment districts and college cam-puses throughout the state to remind motorists that ldquobuzzed driving is drunk drivingrdquo and to always line up a PASS ndash every week-end every season Events in the entertainment dis-tricts will conduct hands-on demonstrations that illustrate how consuming alcohol can impair onersquos ability to drive while at college campuses stu-dents will see what itrsquos like behind bars through an interactive backdrop dis-play Students will be able to share their photos and encourage friends to plan ahead for a PASS For more information contact TxDOT Media Relations at MediaRelationstxdotgov or call 512-463-8700

Good news for the esti-mated one in five allergy sufferers who have pets There are ways you and your pet can live together The experts at the Amer-ican College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology suggest you
bull Keep your pet out of the bedroom You spend as much as a third of your time there Letting a dog or cat in increases your exposure to dander and the likelihood of allergic reaction
bull Bathe your pet frequent-ly Itrsquos not the hair shed by the dog or cat that causes you to suffer itrsquos the loose flakes of skin he deposits around the house Bathe your pet at least once a week and dry him as best you can to limit the ani-malrsquos shaking and stirring up more dander
bull Replace air filters reg-
ularly With a pet in the house you should replace the filter in your forced-air heating and cooling sys-tem at least once a month A high-quality pleated filter offers more surface area to capture more dan-der than a flat-surface fil-ter
bull Clean your house fre-quently Doctors recom-mend frequent vacuum-ing of both hard-surface and carpeted floors heav-ily upholstered furniture and draperies
bull Consider a central vac-
uum system These offer the most cleaning power available to remove 100 percent of captured dan-der from the living area without stirring up dust
Reducing exposure through environmental controls however may not be sufficient for some allergic patients You may need an over-the-counter or prescription medica-tion to live comfortably with your pet Ask your physician about the ap-propriate treatment for you

Hectic schedules and increasing demands con-tinue to impact todayrsquos American families but perhaps one of the stron-gest barometers of fam-ilies is family mealtime Welchrsquos Kitchen Table Report shows families are stronger than evermdashmak-ing time to eat together frequently and enjoying sharing quality time as a family
gether as often as or more today than their families did when they were chil-dren
bull 75 percent eat most meals and snacks in the kitchen as a family
bull 75 percent say that in an average week they eat together four or more nights
bull 84 percent say that one of their favorite parts of the day is when their fam-ily eats together
bull Nearly 60 percent would rather spend time with their family or spouse than receive a $5000 pay
raise lose 10 pounds go on a Caribbean cruise or get more sleep
ldquoIt might feel like family dinner is part of a bygone erardquo said Welchrsquos Health and Nutrition Advisory Panel member and RD Sarah-Jane Bedwell ldquoBut parents are making meal-times a priority in order to share a moment with their children Thatrsquos good news because research has shown an association between regular family meals and improved fam-ily nutrition and overall well-beingrdquo
Despite the positive trend many families still
face mealtime challenges Four-in-10 survey respon-dents cite the lack of time to cook meals especially healthy meals as a top barrier to family meal-times
ldquoThere are solutions to combat common meal-time obstaclesrdquo said Ms Bedwell ldquoTo help fam-ilies enjoy more happy and healthy mealtime mo-ments we created an on-line toolkit that includes family-friendly meal makeovers heart-healthy recipes and morerdquo

Instead of curling up in
a ball of hurt hate and resentment John-Mi-chael Keyes and his wife Ellen have gone forward since the death of their child in a school shooting to bring many messages to others Mr Keyes spoke at Region VIII Service Center to a room full of educators law enforce-ment and first respond-ers to tell the journey of his life since Sept 27 2006 when his daughter was killed by a gunman who had invaded Platte Canyon High School
Emily had just turned 16 prior to the shoot-ing and was in her high school English class when the gunman burst in He released all the boys and some of the girls keeping seven girls in the room one of them Emily Later when SWAT went in the building he used Emily as a human shield and shot her in the back of the head just before he was taken down
From this tragedy the ldquoI Love You Guysrdquo founda-tion was formed With the
Emily Keyes lost her life Sept 27 2006 at Platte Canyon High School in Bailey Colo when a gunman held her and others hostages in an English classroom
Father of slain student brings powerful message to educators law enforcement at Region VIII seminar
desire to turn their loss into urging school safety for other children the Keyes travel and speak of studies they have made on school safety
ldquoPeace ndash it means to be in a place of trouble and still have calm in your heartrdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoMy objec-tive is when I am done with my story your story begins We talk to our kids about fire and give them multiple strategies in case of fire How many kids have we lost to a fire in a school in 50 years None How many have we lost to active violence in the last few years Hundreds It is time we talk to our kids We can stop violence and continue to stop itrdquo
Mr Keyes talked about Safe 2 Tell which is an intervention tool so students can learn about violence before it happens
ldquoIn 81 percent of the cases someone knew in advancerdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoThere is violence in bullying weapons in schools suicide interven-tions and interventions where they found planned school attacks that start-ed out small and were caughtrdquo
Mr Keyes recalled Sept 27 2006
ldquoThat day it was Emilyrsquos turn to driverdquo he said ldquoShe has a twin broth-er Casey It was off to school like any other day The resource officer left the school and a stranger was in the parking lot and walked into the school He fired a round into a
wall and asked the male students and some female students to leave the room including the teach-er A 52-year-old stranger held seven girls hostagerdquo
Mr Keyes did not know how to text in 2006 and since he knew Emily had a cell phone with that capa-bility he yelled if anyone outside the school in his
vicinity was under 30 and could text A reporter helped and texted Emily asking how she was She texted back ldquoI Love You Guysrdquo They texted her asking her where she was but they never received a reply
After the Keyes lost their daughter they were amazed at the outpour-ing of love from the local people
ldquoWe started the lsquoI Love You Guysrsquo foundationrdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoOur mission statement is lsquoto restore and protect the joy of youth through educa-tional programs and posi-tive actions in collab-oration with families schools communities organizations and govern-ment entitiesrsquordquo
Emilyrsquos Parade was founded a year after her death and is held yearly to raise money for the foun-dationrsquos work There is also a 5K run for emergen-cy responders and anyone else who wants to run
ldquoWe went to conferences after Emily died and tried to figure out who was doing whatrdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoTeachers and staff are the first ones to own the threat and the ones
who are left to cope with the after effect In study-ing school plans we found out there was no common language that the schools used Schools in the same area used different codes We looked at federal and state levels to see if there was a common level We found it closer to home in Broomfield Colo That school has put together a school safety plan From that the foundation has developed the Standard Response Protocol for schools and law enforce-ment to follow There is a demand for clearer infor-mation We need to tell our kids what is going on when it is going on Direct and honest communica-tion is importantrdquo
Mr Keyes talked about lockouts lockdowns evacuations and shelter
ldquoCreate a time barrier so law enforcement can get thererdquo he said
Mr Keyes said there is a lot of information schools can download at no charge from the foun-dation web site at httpsIluvyouguysorg

Department to increase patrols over Spring Break
The Texas Depart-ment of Public Safety (DPS) will increase DWI patrols from March 8 ndash March 17 one of the most active Spring Break periods in Texas DPS troopers will focus DWI patrols in high-risk locations at times when alcohol-related crashes are most frequent The enhanced patrols that target intoxicated driv-ers are funded through a grant from the Texas Department of Trans-portation
ldquoToo frequently people choose to drink and drive during Spring Break which is an extremely danger-ous decision that often leads to senseless trag-edyrdquo said DPS Direc-tor Steven McCraw ldquoGetting impaired driv-ers off the roads during Spring Break is a major
priority for the depart-ment and we also urge the public to make responsible decisions such as designating a non-drinking driver or finding alternative transportation if they are impairedrdquo
During last yearrsquos Spring Break enforce-ment period DPS troop-ers made more than 1000 DWI arrests and approximately 300 were the direct result of the increased patrols funded by the grant DPS enforcement also resulted in more than 9400 speeding citations 1500 seat beltchild safety seat tickets and 12500 other citations
In addition troop-ers made 545 fugitive arrests and 402 felony arrests during routine patrol operations during that same time period
The drinking age in Texas is 21 and any driver under that age with any detectable amount of alcohol in their system can be charged with break-ing the law Addition-al troopers will also be patrolling in areas with high concentrations of Spring Break activity
DPS offers the follow-ing tips for safe travel during the Spring Break holiday
bullSlow down ndash espe-cially in bad weath-er construction areas heavy traffic and unfa-miliar areas
bullEliminate distrac-tions while driving including the usage of mobile devices
bullBuckle up everyone in the vehicle ndash itrsquos the law

While colon cancer is the third-leading cancer killer in the United States it is also a preventable and treatable diseasemdashif diag-nosed in its early stages
If you are turning 50 donrsquot put off colon cancer screening While March is officially National Colorectal Cancer Aware-ness Month any time is a good time to learn the facts about colon cancer preventionSilent Killer
Colon cancer also known as colorectal cancer takes the lives of more than 50000 Amer-icans each year Itrsquos a silent killer because often there are no symptoms until it is too late to treat Age is the single largest risk factor for the disease Most colon cancers arise from precancer-ous growths in the colon called polyps which can be found during a screen-ing exam and removed before they turn into cancerScreening Saves Lives
The American Soci-ety for Gastrointesti-nal Endoscopy (ASGE) representing the experts in colon cancer screening recommends screening
begin at age 50 A person at average risk with normal screening results wonrsquot need another exam for 10 years If polyps or cancer is found screen-ing intervals should be more frequent Colon cancer runs in families so screening should begin sooner if there is a family history of polyps or colon cancer or if other risk factors are present Some experts suggest Afri-can-Americans should begin screening at age 45
Screening methods include colonoscopy sigmoidoscopy stool blood tests such as fecal occult blood test (FOBT) or fecal immunochemi-cal test (FIT) stool DNA CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) and barium enemaColonoscopy
Colonoscopy is consid-ered the preferred screen-ing method because it is a preventive exam It is the only test that both finds and removes precancerous polyps during the same exam With other methods if a polyp or other abnor-mality is found the test must often be followed by a colonoscopy Colonosco-
py is a safe effective and well-tolerated exam
ldquoASGE encourages patients to get screened at intervals recommend-ed by their doctor to find a qualified endoscopist for their colonoscopy who has had specialized train-ing in the procedure and to carefully follow prepa-ration instructions to ensure that the colon is thoroughly cleaned so that no polyps or cancers are missed during the procedurerdquo said ASGE President Thomas M Deas Jr MD MMM FASGE ldquoA quality colo-noscopy and appropri-ate follow-up exams save livesrdquoColon Cancer Facts

Go Tell Crusade to host kick-off banquet March 18By Kim Cox
kcoxcampcountynowcom
Evangelist Rick Gage will host a Go Tell cru-sade this May but first he will be here on March 18 for a kick-off banquet
held in Mount PleasantldquoThe vision for a crusade
came about as the result of a conversation with Bo Pilgrim last yearrdquo said Rev Gage whose father is an evangelist as well ldquoHe expressed a desire to
see another crusade come to the PittsburgMount Pleasant areardquo
Rev Gage said they talk-ed about the previous cru-sade when the Rev Billy Graham came to Mount Pleasant in 2000
ldquoHe felt it was time for another onerdquo Rev Gage said
Rev Gage said his min-istry focuses on more ru-ral areas as opposed to big cities with a special emphasis on reaching the youth
ldquoBobby Bowden a great college football coach at Florida State said lsquoAmer-icarsquos youth may not be 100 percent of the population but it is 100 percent of our futurersquordquo Mr Gage said ldquoWe want to do all we can to reach the kidsrdquo
The actual crusade to be held on May 12-15 will include a special youth night on May 15
Rev Gage is a native of Dallas who now lives in the Atlanta Ga area
Orignially he said foot-ball was his life and after graduating from Camer-on University in Oklaho-ma he became a football coach at Texas Tech Uni-versity
Then one Sunday he said he felt compelled to go to church to hear an evangelist friend of his fa-therrsquos
ldquoIt was while I was liv-ing in Lubbock striving to become the next Tom Landry when God got a hold of my liferdquo he said
After coming to Christ Rev Gage quit his job at Tech and went to coach football at Liberty Univer-sity in Virginia the uni-versity started by Jerry Falwell He worked there for two years before he said Christ called him in a
different direction ldquoI had lost the ambi-
tionrdquo he said ldquoI had lost the firerdquo
Rev Gage quit coaching and surrendered to the ministry enrolling in the graduate program at Lib-erty University to become a full-time evangelist like his father
After graduating he said his ldquoheart was to reach rural Americardquo
ldquoPeople in small towns need Jesus just as much as big townsrdquo Rev Gage said
While in the area Rev
Gage will also address all the junior highs and high schools in the area as a motivational speaker speaking to 6000 students in Northeast Texas
ldquoWersquoll be reinforcing what the school systems are trying to accomplish to combat drugs and al-coholrdquo he said ldquoWe want to remind these teenag-ers you were born to be a winner in the game of liferdquo
The kick-off banquet will be held on March 18 at the Mount Pleasant Civic Center
Take it easy save moneyLetrsquos face it Your gas dol-
lars arenrsquot going nearly as far as they used to
However there are a number of things you can do to help improve your carrsquos fuel efficiency Con-sider these six tips from the car-care experts to maximize your carrsquos per-formance
1 Check your tire pres-sure Improperly inflated
tires can greatly reduce your fuel economy so make sure your tires are inflated to the manufac-turerrsquos recommended pressure level
2 Maintain your vehicle Replacing a dirty clogged air filter will go a long way to improving your carrsquos fuel efficiency According to the federal government your carrsquos gas mileage could improve by as much as 10 percent with a clean air filter In addition to the fuel savings the new filter will help protect your en-gine as well
3 Clean your fuel sys-tem Carbon and resin buildup in your carrsquos fuel system stifles your en-ginersquos ability to breathe and reduces fuel efficien-cy Flush out your fuel system including the fuel injector intake valve and combustion chamber with a specialized tank addi-
tive Better yet have your fuel system professionally
4 Take it easy and slow down Driving your car at high speeds ldquojack-rab-bit startsrdquo and aggres-sive driving in traffic can greatly reduce fuel effi-ciency The US Depart-ment of Energy says ldquoAs a rule of thumb you can assume that each 5 miles per hour you drive over 60 miles per hour is like pay-ing an additional 20 cents per gallon for gasrdquo
5 Remove excessive weight Remove any un-necessary objects in your vehicle especially heavy items An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle reduces fuel efficiency by as much as 2 percent Lighten up and mileage will go up
6 Use your air condi-tioning sparingly
These tips will help you improve your car and save money

New ag complex hosts second livestock show
By Kim CoxkcoxcampcountynowcomOn March 22-23 Pitts-
burg Independent School District will host another youth project livestock show the second held in the new showbarn on Broach Street
Willie Morgan with the school districtrsquos ag sci-ence program said hav-ing a show in the spring at this time is risky
ldquoYou donrsquot want to spread students too thinrdquo he said with other schools hosting their own shows this time of year ldquoYoursquore taking a chance when you do Therersquos so few dates to do sordquo
However Mr Morgan said last semesterrsquos show had a phenomenal atten-dance
ldquoIt was such a great turnout and if we can get anything close we will have a successful showrdquo he said
This semester the show will be a two-day event with the county show on March 22 and the open show the next day There is no pre-registration for the events Mr Morgan said
ldquoItrsquos whatrsquos called blow and showrdquo he said ldquoPeo-ple show up pay the entry fees and leave after show-ing It moves people out
pretty quicklyrdquoThe livestock show will
also include a petting zoo for younger Pittsburg stu-dents
ldquoOne of our primary goals with the spring show is to motivate lower grades into the ag scienc-esrdquo Mr Morgan said ldquoA lot of kids just donrsquot know we existrdquo
Judging for the coun-ty show competition will be Dennis Guidry from Ashdown Ark a judge Pittsburg has never used before
ldquoHe came highly rec-ommendedrdquo Mr Morgan said ldquoWe hope we have a good showrdquo
On March 14 at 530 pm the Northeast Tex-as Writersrsquo Organization (NETWO) will hold its monthly meeting at the Mount Pleasant Public Library Plans for the up-coming spring writersrsquo conference will be dis-cussed In addition the agenda usually includes
a brief business meeting and afterward members share works in progress Guests are also welcome to share

March 1 through May 31 ndash marks the most danger-ous season on Texas road-ways for alcohol-related traffic crashes Thatrsquos why the Texas Department of Transportation is remind-ing motorists to line up a PASS ndash a Person Ap-pointed to Stay Sober ndash be-cause even ldquobuzzedrdquo driv-ing is drunk driving
In 2011 spring account-ed for 26 percent of all alcohol-related traffic crashes in Texas accord-ing to TxDOT more than any other season At the same time weekends con-tinue to claim too many lives ndash more than half (58 percent) of all alcohol-re-lated crashes occurred on a weekend in 2011 With spring break and holiday weekends approaching TxDOT wants motorists to know that consuming just a few drinks can still impair a personrsquos ability to drive and it has launched a public safety campaign to let them know of the ef-
fect alcohol has on driving State law makes it il-
legal for someone with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 008 percent or higher to drive a vehi-cle However drivers can be arrested with a BAC below 08 when a law en-forcement officer has probable cause based on the driverrsquos behavior
ldquoPeople often donrsquot rec-ognize the impact that one or two drinks can have on their ability to operate a vehiclerdquo said John Barton TxDOTrsquos deputy executive director ldquoAlcohol slows your reaction time reduc-es your ability to properly gauge speed or distance from other objects and makes it difficult for you to focus on the road It takes less alcohol than you think so donrsquot take a chancerdquo
People tend to underes-timate their BAC when drinking alcohol accord-ing to a study by the Na-tional Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism As
a result they may think they are still OK to drive because they have only consumed a couple of drinks when in fact they may be impaired
TxDOT will be traveling in March to entertainment districts and college cam-puses throughout the state to remind motorists that ldquobuzzed driving is drunk drivingrdquo and to always line up a PASS ndash every week-end every season Events in the entertainment dis-tricts will conduct hands-on demonstrations that illustrate how consuming alcohol can impair onersquos ability to drive while at college campuses stu-dents will see what itrsquos like behind bars through an interactive backdrop dis-play Students will be able to share their photos and encourage friends to plan ahead for a PASS For more information contact TxDOT Media Relations at MediaRelationstxdotgov or call 512-463-8700

Good news for the esti-mated one in five allergy sufferers who have pets There are ways you and your pet can live together The experts at the Amer-ican College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology suggest you
bull Keep your pet out of the bedroom You spend as much as a third of your time there Letting a dog or cat in increases your exposure to dander and the likelihood of allergic reaction
bull Bathe your pet frequent-ly Itrsquos not the hair shed by the dog or cat that causes you to suffer itrsquos the loose flakes of skin he deposits around the house Bathe your pet at least once a week and dry him as best you can to limit the ani-malrsquos shaking and stirring up more dander
bull Replace air filters reg-
ularly With a pet in the house you should replace the filter in your forced-air heating and cooling sys-tem at least once a month A high-quality pleated filter offers more surface area to capture more dan-der than a flat-surface fil-ter
bull Clean your house fre-quently Doctors recom-mend frequent vacuum-ing of both hard-surface and carpeted floors heav-ily upholstered furniture and draperies
bull Consider a central vac-
uum system These offer the most cleaning power available to remove 100 percent of captured dan-der from the living area without stirring up dust
Reducing exposure through environmental controls however may not be sufficient for some allergic patients You may need an over-the-counter or prescription medica-tion to live comfortably with your pet Ask your physician about the ap-propriate treatment for you

Hectic schedules and increasing demands con-tinue to impact todayrsquos American families but perhaps one of the stron-gest barometers of fam-ilies is family mealtime Welchrsquos Kitchen Table Report shows families are stronger than evermdashmak-ing time to eat together frequently and enjoying sharing quality time as a family
gether as often as or more today than their families did when they were chil-dren
bull 75 percent eat most meals and snacks in the kitchen as a family
bull 75 percent say that in an average week they eat together four or more nights
bull 84 percent say that one of their favorite parts of the day is when their fam-ily eats together
bull Nearly 60 percent would rather spend time with their family or spouse than receive a $5000 pay

Instead of curling up in
a ball of hurt hate and resentment John-Mi-chael Keyes and his wife Ellen have gone forward since the death of their child in a school shooting to bring many messages to others Mr Keyes spoke at Region VIII Service Center to a room full of educators law enforce-ment and first respond-ers to tell the journey of his life since Sept 27 2006 when his daughter was killed by a gunman who had invaded Platte Canyon High School
Emily had just turned 16 prior to the shoot-ing and was in her high school English class when the gunman burst in He released all the boys and some of the girls keeping seven girls in the room one of them Emily Later when SWAT went in the building he used Emily as a human shield and shot her in the back of the head just before he was taken down
From this tragedy the ldquoI Love You Guysrdquo founda-tion was formed With the
Emily Keyes lost her life Sept 27 2006 at Platte Canyon High School in Bailey Colo when a gunman held her and others hostages in an English classroom
Father of slain student brings powerful message to educators law enforcement at Region VIII seminar
desire to turn their loss into urging school safety for other children the Keyes travel and speak of studies they have made on school safety
ldquoPeace ndash it means to be in a place of trouble and still have calm in your heartrdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoMy objec-tive is when I am done with my story your story begins We talk to our kids about fire and give them multiple strategies in case of fire How many kids have we lost to a fire in a school in 50 years None How many have we lost to active violence in the last few years Hundreds It is time we talk to our kids We can stop violence and continue to stop itrdquo
Mr Keyes talked about Safe 2 Tell which is an intervention tool so students can learn about violence before it happens
ldquoIn 81 percent of the cases someone knew in advancerdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoThere is violence in bullying weapons in schools suicide interven-tions and interventions where they found planned school attacks that start-ed out small and were caughtrdquo
Mr Keyes recalled Sept 27 2006
ldquoThat day it was Emilyrsquos turn to driverdquo he said ldquoShe has a twin broth-er Casey It was off to school like any other day The resource officer left the school and a stranger was in the parking lot and walked into the school He fired a round into a
wall and asked the male students and some female students to leave the room including the teach-er A 52-year-old stranger held seven girls hostagerdquo
Mr Keyes did not know how to text in 2006 and since he knew Emily had a cell phone with that capa-bility he yelled if anyone outside the school in his
vicinity was under 30 and could text A reporter helped and texted Emily asking how she was She texted back ldquoI Love You Guysrdquo They texted her asking her where she was but they never received a reply
After the Keyes lost their daughter they were amazed at the outpour-ing of love from the local people
ldquoWe started the lsquoI Love You Guysrsquo foundationrdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoOur mission statement is lsquoto restore and protect the joy of youth through educa-tional programs and posi-tive actions in collab-oration with families schools communities organizations and govern-ment entitiesrsquordquo
Emilyrsquos Parade was founded a year after her death and is held yearly to raise money for the foun-dationrsquos work There is also a 5K run for emergen-cy responders and anyone else who wants to run
ldquoWe went to conferences after Emily died and tried to figure out who was doing whatrdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoTeachers and staff are the first ones to own the threat and the ones
who are left to cope with the after effect In study-ing school plans we found out there was no common language that the schools used Schools in the same area used different codes We looked at federal and state levels to see if there was a common level We found it closer to home in Broomfield Colo That school has put together a school safety plan From that the foundation has developed the Standard Response Protocol for schools and law enforce-ment to follow There is a demand for clearer infor-mation We need to tell our kids what is going on when it is going on Direct and honest communica-tion is importantrdquo
Mr Keyes talked about lockouts lockdowns evacuations and shelter
ldquoCreate a time barrier so law enforcement can get thererdquo he said
Mr Keyes said there is a lot of information schools can download at no charge from the foun-dation web site at httpsIluvyouguysorg
ldquoOur information outlines how you can do this at your schoolrdquo he said

Department to increase patrols over Spring Break
The Texas Depart-ment of Public Safety (DPS) will increase DWI patrols from March 8 ndash March 17 one of the most active Spring Break periods in Texas DPS troopers will focus DWI patrols in high-risk locations at times when alcohol-related crashes are most frequent The enhanced patrols that target intoxicated driv-ers are funded through a grant from the Texas Department of Trans-portation
ldquoToo frequently people choose to drink and drive during Spring Break which is an extremely danger-ous decision that often leads to senseless trag-edyrdquo said DPS Direc-tor Steven McCraw ldquoGetting impaired driv-ers off the roads during Spring Break is a major
priority for the depart-ment and we also urge the public to make responsible decisions such as designating a non-drinking driver or finding alternative transportation if they are impairedrdquo
During last yearrsquos Spring Break enforce-ment period DPS troop-ers made more than 1000 DWI arrests and approximately 300 were the direct result of the increased patrols funded by the grant DPS enforcement also resulted in more than 9400 speeding citations 1500 seat beltchild safety seat tickets and 12500 other citations
In addition troop-ers made 545 fugitive arrests and 402 felony arrests during routine patrol operations during that same time period
The drinking age in Texas is 21 and any driver under that age with any detectable amount of alcohol in their system can be charged with break-ing the law Addition-al troopers will also be patrolling in areas with high concentrations of Spring Break activity
DPS offers the follow-ing tips for safe travel during the Spring Break holiday
bullSlow down ndash espe-cially in bad weath-er construction areas heavy traffic and unfa-miliar areas
bullEliminate distrac-tions while driving including the usage of mobile devices
bullBuckle up everyone in the vehicle ndash itrsquos the law
bullDonrsquot drive fatigued and allow plenty of time to reach your destina-tion
bullDrive defensively as holiday travel may pres-ent additional challeng-es

While colon cancer is the third-leading cancer killer in the United States it is also a preventable and treatable diseasemdashif diag-nosed in its early stages
If you are turning 50 donrsquot put off colon cancer screening While March is officially National Colorectal Cancer Aware-ness Month any time is a good time to learn the facts about colon cancer preventionSilent Killer
Colon cancer also known as colorectal cancer takes the lives of more than 50000 Amer-icans each year Itrsquos a silent killer because often there are no symptoms until it is too late to treat Age is the single largest risk factor for the disease Most colon cancers arise from precancer-ous growths in the colon called polyps which can be found during a screen-ing exam and removed before they turn into cancerScreening Saves Lives
The American Soci-ety for Gastrointesti-nal Endoscopy (ASGE) representing the experts in colon cancer screening recommends screening
begin at age 50 A person at average risk with normal screening results wonrsquot need another exam for 10 years If polyps or cancer is found screen-ing intervals should be more frequent Colon cancer runs in families so screening should begin sooner if there is a family history of polyps or colon cancer or if other risk factors are present Some experts suggest Afri-can-Americans should begin screening at age 45
Screening methods include colonoscopy sigmoidoscopy stool blood tests such as fecal occult blood test (FOBT) or fecal immunochemi-cal test (FIT) stool DNA CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) and barium enemaColonoscopy
Colonoscopy is consid-ered the preferred screen-ing method because it is a preventive exam It is the only test that both finds and removes precancerous polyps during the same exam With other methods if a polyp or other abnor-mality is found the test must often be followed by a colonoscopy Colonosco-
py is a safe effective and well-tolerated exam
ldquoASGE encourages patients to get screened at intervals recommend-ed by their doctor to find a qualified endoscopist for their colonoscopy who has had specialized train-ing in the procedure and to carefully follow prepa-ration instructions to ensure that the colon is thoroughly cleaned so that no polyps or cancers are missed during the procedurerdquo said ASGE President Thomas M Deas Jr MD MMM FASGE ldquoA quality colo-noscopy and appropri-ate follow-up exams save livesrdquoColon Cancer Facts

ldquoBobby Bowden a great college football coach at Florida State said lsquoAmer-icarsquos youth may not be 100 percent of the population but it is 100 percent of our futurersquordquo Mr Gage said ldquoWe want to do all we can to reach the kidsrdquo
The actual crusade to be held on May 12-15 will include a special youth night on May 15
Rev Gage is a native of Dallas who now lives in the Atlanta Ga area
Orignially he said foot-ball was his life and after graduating from Camer-on University in Oklaho-ma he became a football coach at Texas Tech Uni-versity
Then one Sunday he said he felt compelled to go to church to hear an evangelist friend of his fa-therrsquos
ldquoIt was while I was liv-ing in Lubbock striving to become the next Tom Landry when God got a hold of my liferdquo he said
After coming to Christ Rev Gage quit his job at Tech and went to coach football at Liberty Univer-sity in Virginia the uni-versity started by Jerry Falwell He worked there for two years before he said Christ called him in a
different direction ldquoI had lost the ambi-
tionrdquo he said ldquoI had lost the firerdquo
Rev Gage quit coaching and surrendered to the ministry enrolling in the graduate program at Lib-erty University to become a full-time evangelist like his father
After graduating he said his ldquoheart was to reach rural Americardquo
ldquoPeople in small towns need Jesus just as much as big townsrdquo Rev Gage said
While in the area Rev
Gage will also address all the junior highs and high schools in the area as a motivational speaker speaking to 6000 students in Northeast Texas
ldquoWersquoll be reinforcing what the school systems are trying to accomplish to combat drugs and al-coholrdquo he said ldquoWe want to remind these teenag-ers you were born to be a winner in the game of liferdquo
The kick-off banquet will be held on March 18 at the Mount Pleasant Civic Center
Take it easy save moneyLetrsquos face it Your gas dol-
lars arenrsquot going nearly as far as they used to
However there are a number of things you can do to help improve your carrsquos fuel efficiency Con-sider these six tips from the car-care experts to maximize your carrsquos per-formance
1 Check your tire pres-sure Improperly inflated
tires can greatly reduce your fuel economy so make sure your tires are inflated to the manufac-turerrsquos recommended pressure level
2 Maintain your vehicle Replacing a dirty clogged air filter will go a long way to improving your carrsquos fuel efficiency According to the federal government your carrsquos gas mileage could improve by as much as 10 percent with a clean air filter In addition to the fuel savings the new filter will help protect your en-gine as well
3 Clean your fuel sys-tem Carbon and resin buildup in your carrsquos fuel system stifles your en-ginersquos ability to breathe and reduces fuel efficien-cy Flush out your fuel system including the fuel injector intake valve and combustion chamber with a specialized tank addi-
tive Better yet have your fuel system professionally
4 Take it easy and slow down Driving your car at high speeds ldquojack-rab-bit startsrdquo and aggres-sive driving in traffic can greatly reduce fuel effi-ciency The US Depart-ment of Energy says ldquoAs a rule of thumb you can assume that each 5 miles per hour you drive over 60 miles per hour is like pay-ing an additional 20 cents per gallon for gasrdquo
5 Remove excessive weight Remove any un-necessary objects in your vehicle especially heavy items An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle reduces fuel efficiency by as much as 2 percent Lighten up and mileage will go up
6 Use your air condi-tioning sparingly
These tips will help you improve your car and save money

New ag complex hosts second livestock show
By Kim CoxkcoxcampcountynowcomOn March 22-23 Pitts-
burg Independent School District will host another youth project livestock show the second held in the new showbarn on Broach Street
Willie Morgan with the school districtrsquos ag sci-ence program said hav-ing a show in the spring at this time is risky
ldquoYou donrsquot want to spread students too thinrdquo he said with other schools hosting their own shows this time of year ldquoYoursquore taking a chance when you do Therersquos so few dates to do sordquo
However Mr Morgan said last semesterrsquos show had a phenomenal atten-dance
ldquoIt was such a great turnout and if we can get anything close we will have a successful showrdquo he said
This semester the show will be a two-day event with the county show on March 22 and the open show the next day There is no pre-registration for the events Mr Morgan said
ldquoItrsquos whatrsquos called blow and showrdquo he said ldquoPeo-ple show up pay the entry fees and leave after show-ing It moves people out
pretty quicklyrdquoThe livestock show will
also include a petting zoo for younger Pittsburg stu-dents
ldquoOne of our primary goals with the spring show is to motivate lower grades into the ag scienc-esrdquo Mr Morgan said ldquoA lot of kids just donrsquot know we existrdquo
Judging for the coun-ty show competition will be Dennis Guidry from Ashdown Ark a judge Pittsburg has never used before
ldquoHe came highly rec-ommendedrdquo Mr Morgan said ldquoWe hope we have a good showrdquo

March 1 through May 31 ndash marks the most danger-ous season on Texas road-ways for alcohol-related traffic crashes Thatrsquos why the Texas Department of Transportation is remind-ing motorists to line up a PASS ndash a Person Ap-pointed to Stay Sober ndash be-cause even ldquobuzzedrdquo driv-ing is drunk driving
In 2011 spring account-ed for 26 percent of all alcohol-related traffic crashes in Texas accord-ing to TxDOT more than any other season At the same time weekends con-tinue to claim too many lives ndash more than half (58 percent) of all alcohol-re-lated crashes occurred on a weekend in 2011 With spring break and holiday weekends approaching TxDOT wants motorists to know that consuming just a few drinks can still impair a personrsquos ability to drive and it has launched a public safety campaign to let them know of the ef-
fect alcohol has on driving State law makes it il-
legal for someone with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 008 percent or higher to drive a vehi-cle However drivers can be arrested with a BAC below 08 when a law en-forcement officer has probable cause based on the driverrsquos behavior
ldquoPeople often donrsquot rec-ognize the impact that one or two drinks can have on their ability to operate a vehiclerdquo said John Barton TxDOTrsquos deputy executive director ldquoAlcohol slows your reaction time reduc-es your ability to properly gauge speed or distance from other objects and makes it difficult for you to focus on the road It takes less alcohol than you think so donrsquot take a chancerdquo
People tend to underes-timate their BAC when drinking alcohol accord-ing to a study by the Na-tional Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism As
a result they may think they are still OK to drive because they have only consumed a couple of drinks when in fact they may be impaired
TxDOT will be traveling in March to entertainment districts and college cam-puses throughout the state to remind motorists that ldquobuzzed driving is drunk drivingrdquo and to always line up a PASS ndash every week-end every season Events in the entertainment dis-tricts will conduct hands-on demonstrations that illustrate how consuming alcohol can impair onersquos ability to drive while at college campuses stu-dents will see what itrsquos like behind bars through an interactive backdrop dis-play Students will be able to share their photos and encourage friends to plan ahead for a PASS For more information contact TxDOT Media Relations at MediaRelationstxdotgov or call 512-463-8700

Good news for the esti-mated one in five allergy sufferers who have pets There are ways you and your pet can live together The experts at the Amer-ican College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology suggest you
bull Keep your pet out of the bedroom You spend as much as a third of your time there Letting a dog or cat in increases your exposure to dander and the likelihood of allergic reaction
bull Bathe your pet frequent-ly Itrsquos not the hair shed by the dog or cat that causes you to suffer itrsquos the loose flakes of skin he deposits around the house Bathe your pet at least once a week and dry him as best you can to limit the ani-malrsquos shaking and stirring up more dander
bull Replace air filters reg-
ularly With a pet in the house you should replace the filter in your forced-air heating and cooling sys-tem at least once a month A high-quality pleated filter offers more surface area to capture more dan-der than a flat-surface fil-ter
bull Clean your house fre-quently Doctors recom-mend frequent vacuum-ing of both hard-surface and carpeted floors heav-ily upholstered furniture and draperies
bull Consider a central vac-
uum system These offer the most cleaning power available to remove 100 percent of captured dan-der from the living area without stirring up dust
Reducing exposure through environmental controls however may not be sufficient for some allergic patients You may need an over-the-counter or prescription medica-tion to live comfortably with your pet Ask your physician about the ap-propriate treatment for you

Instead of curling up in
a ball of hurt hate and resentment John-Mi-chael Keyes and his wife Ellen have gone forward since the death of their child in a school shooting to bring many messages to others Mr Keyes spoke at Region VIII Service Center to a room full of educators law enforce-ment and first respond-ers to tell the journey of his life since Sept 27 2006 when his daughter was killed by a gunman who had invaded Platte Canyon High School
Emily had just turned 16 prior to the shoot-ing and was in her high school English class when the gunman burst in He released all the boys and some of the girls keeping seven girls in the room one of them Emily Later when SWAT went in the building he used Emily as a human shield and shot her in the back of the head just before he was taken down
From this tragedy the ldquoI Love You Guysrdquo founda-tion was formed With the
Emily Keyes lost her life Sept 27 2006 at Platte Canyon High School in Bailey Colo when a gunman held her and others hostages in an English classroom
Father of slain student brings powerful message to educators law enforcement at Region VIII seminar
desire to turn their loss into urging school safety for other children the Keyes travel and speak of studies they have made on school safety
ldquoPeace ndash it means to be in a place of trouble and still have calm in your heartrdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoMy objec-tive is when I am done with my story your story begins We talk to our kids about fire and give them multiple strategies in case of fire How many kids have we lost to a fire in a school in 50 years None How many have we lost to active violence in the last few years Hundreds It is time we talk to our kids We can stop violence and continue to stop itrdquo
Mr Keyes talked about Safe 2 Tell which is an intervention tool so students can learn about violence before it happens
ldquoIn 81 percent of the cases someone knew in advancerdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoThere is violence in bullying weapons in schools suicide interven-tions and interventions where they found planned school attacks that start-ed out small and were caughtrdquo
Mr Keyes recalled Sept 27 2006
ldquoThat day it was Emilyrsquos turn to driverdquo he said ldquoShe has a twin broth-er Casey It was off to school like any other day The resource officer left the school and a stranger was in the parking lot and walked into the school He fired a round into a
wall and asked the male students and some female students to leave the room including the teach-er A 52-year-old stranger held seven girls hostagerdquo
Mr Keyes did not know how to text in 2006 and since he knew Emily had a cell phone with that capa-bility he yelled if anyone outside the school in his
vicinity was under 30 and could text A reporter helped and texted Emily asking how she was She texted back ldquoI Love You Guysrdquo They texted her asking her where she was but they never received a reply
After the Keyes lost their daughter they were amazed at the outpour-ing of love from the local people
ldquoWe started the lsquoI Love You Guysrsquo foundationrdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoOur mission statement is lsquoto restore and protect the joy of youth through educa-tional programs and posi-tive actions in collab-oration with families schools communities organizations and govern-ment entitiesrsquordquo
Emilyrsquos Parade was founded a year after her death and is held yearly to raise money for the foun-dationrsquos work There is also a 5K run for emergen-cy responders and anyone else who wants to run
ldquoWe went to conferences after Emily died and tried to figure out who was doing whatrdquo Mr Keyes said ldquoTeachers and staff are the first ones to own the threat and the ones
who are left to cope with the after effect In study-ing school plans we found out there was no common language that the schools used Schools in the same area used different codes We looked at federal and state levels to see if there was a common level We found it closer to home in Broomfield Colo That school has put together a school safety plan From that the foundation has developed the Standard Response Protocol for schools and law enforce-ment to follow There is a demand for clearer infor-mation We need to tell our kids what is going on when it is going on Direct and honest communica-tion is importantrdquo
Mr Keyes talked about lockouts lockdowns evacuations and shelter
ldquoCreate a time barrier so law enforcement can get thererdquo he said
Mr Keyes said there is a lot of information schools can download at no charge from the foun-dation web site at httpsIluvyouguysorg
ldquoOur information outlines how you can do this at your schoolrdquo he said

Department to increase patrols over Spring Break
The Texas Depart-ment of Public Safety (DPS) will increase DWI patrols from March 8 ndash March 17 one of the most active Spring Break periods in Texas DPS troopers will focus DWI patrols in high-risk locations at times when alcohol-related crashes are most frequent The enhanced patrols that target intoxicated driv-ers are funded through a grant from the Texas Department of Trans-portation
ldquoToo frequently people choose to drink and drive during Spring Break which is an extremely danger-ous decision that often leads to senseless trag-edyrdquo said DPS Direc-tor Steven McCraw ldquoGetting impaired driv-ers off the roads during Spring Break is a major
priority for the depart-ment and we also urge the public to make responsible decisions such as designating a non-drinking driver or finding alternative transportation if they are impairedrdquo
During last yearrsquos Spring Break enforce-ment period DPS troop-ers made more than 1000 DWI arrests and approximately 300 were the direct result of the increased patrols funded by the grant DPS enforcement also resulted in more than 9400 speeding citations 1500 seat beltchild safety seat tickets and 12500 other citations
In addition troop-ers made 545 fugitive arrests and 402 felony arrests during routine patrol operations during that same time period
The drinking age in Texas is 21 and any driver under that age with any detectable amount of alcohol in their system can be charged with break-ing the law Addition-al troopers will also be patrolling in areas with high concentrations of Spring Break activity
DPS offers the follow-ing tips for safe travel during the Spring Break holiday
bullSlow down ndash espe-cially in bad weath-er construction areas heavy traffic and unfa-miliar areas
bullEliminate distrac-tions while driving including the usage of mobile devices
bullBuckle up everyone in the vehicle ndash itrsquos the law
bullDonrsquot drive fatigued and allow plenty of time to reach your destina-tion
bullDrive defensively as holiday travel may pres-ent additional challeng-es
bullMake sure your vehi-cle is properly main-tained before your trip begins
bullSlow down or move over for tow trucks and police fire and EMS vehicles stopped on the side of the road with emergency lights acti-vated ndash itrsquos the law

While colon cancer is the third-leading cancer killer in the United States it is also a preventable and treatable diseasemdashif diag-nosed in its early stages
If you are turning 50 donrsquot put off colon cancer screening While March is officially National Colorectal Cancer Aware-ness Month any time is a good time to learn the facts about colon cancer preventionSilent Killer
Colon cancer also known as colorectal cancer takes the lives of more than 50000 Amer-icans each year Itrsquos a silent killer because often there are no symptoms until it is too late to treat Age is the single largest risk factor for the disease Most colon cancers arise from precancer-ous growths in the colon called polyps which can be found during a screen-ing exam and removed before they turn into cancerScreening Saves Lives
The American Soci-ety for Gastrointesti-nal Endoscopy (ASGE) representing the experts in colon cancer screening recommends screening
begin at age 50 A person at average risk with normal screening results wonrsquot need another exam for 10 years If polyps or cancer is found screen-ing intervals should be more frequent Colon cancer runs in families so screening should begin sooner if there is a family history of polyps or colon cancer or if other risk factors are present Some experts suggest Afri-can-Americans should begin screening at age 45
Screening methods include colonoscopy sigmoidoscopy stool blood tests such as fecal occult blood test (FOBT) or fecal immunochemi-cal test (FIT) stool DNA CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) and barium enemaColonoscopy
Colonoscopy is consid-ered the preferred screen-ing method because it is a preventive exam It is the only test that both finds and removes precancerous polyps during the same exam With other methods if a polyp or other abnor-mality is found the test must often be followed by a colonoscopy Colonosco-
py is a safe effective and well-tolerated exam
ldquoASGE encourages patients to get screened at intervals recommend-ed by their doctor to find a qualified endoscopist for their colonoscopy who has had specialized train-ing in the procedure and to carefully follow prepa-ration instructions to ensure that the colon is thoroughly cleaned so that no polyps or cancers are missed during the procedurerdquo said ASGE President Thomas M Deas Jr MD MMM FASGE ldquoA quality colo-noscopy and appropri-ate follow-up exams save livesrdquoColon Cancer Facts
Begin screening at age 50 family historyother risk factorsmdashscreen before age 50 colonos-copy finds and removes polyps before they turn into cancer highly treat-able if caught early bleeding or unexplained abdominal pain Talk to your doctor immediatelyLearn More

Rick Gage
Go Tell Crusade to host kick-off banquet March 18By Kim Cox
kcoxcampcountynowcom
Evangelist Rick Gage will host a Go Tell cru-sade this May but first he will be here on March 18 for a kick-off banquet
held in Mount PleasantldquoThe vision for a crusade
came about as the result of a conversation with Bo Pilgrim last yearrdquo said Rev Gage whose father is an evangelist as well ldquoHe expressed a desire to
see another crusade come to the PittsburgMount Pleasant areardquo
Rev Gage said they talk-ed about the previous cru-sade when the Rev Billy Graham came to Mount Pleasant in 2000
ldquoHe felt it was time for another onerdquo Rev Gage said
Rev Gage said his min-istry focuses on more ru-ral areas as opposed to big cities with a special emphasis on reaching the youth
ldquoBobby Bowden a great college football coach at Florida State said lsquoAmer-icarsquos youth may not be 100 percent of the population but it is 100 percent of our futurersquordquo Mr Gage said ldquoWe want to do all we can to reach the kidsrdquo
The actual crusade to be held on May 12-15 will include a special youth night on May 15
Rev Gage is a native of Dallas who now lives in the Atlanta Ga area
Orignially he said foot-ball was his life and after graduating from Camer-on University in Oklaho-ma he became a football coach at Texas Tech Uni-versity
Then one Sunday he said he felt compelled to go to church to hear an evangelist friend of his fa-therrsquos
ldquoIt was while I was liv-ing in Lubbock striving to become the next Tom Landry when God got a hold of my liferdquo he said
After coming to Christ Rev Gage quit his job at Tech and went to coach football at Liberty Univer-sity in Virginia the uni-versity started by Jerry Falwell He worked there for two years before he said Christ called him in a
different direction ldquoI had lost the ambi-
tionrdquo he said ldquoI had lost the firerdquo
Rev Gage quit coaching and surrendered to the ministry enrolling in the graduate program at Lib-erty University to become a full-time evangelist like his father
After graduating he said his ldquoheart was to reach rural Americardquo
ldquoPeople in small towns need Jesus just as much as big townsrdquo Rev Gage said
While in the area Rev
Gage will also address all the junior highs and high schools in the area as a motivational speaker speaking to 6000 students in Northeast Texas
ldquoWersquoll be reinforcing what the school systems are trying to accomplish to combat drugs and al-coholrdquo he said ldquoWe want to remind these teenag-ers you were born to be a winner in the game of liferdquo
The kick-off banquet will be held on March 18 at the Mount Pleasant Civic Center
Take it easy save moneyLetrsquos face it Your gas dol-
lars arenrsquot going nearly as far as they used to
However there are a number of things you can do to help improve your carrsquos fuel efficiency Con-sider these six tips from the car-care experts to maximize your carrsquos per-formance
1 Check your tire pres-sure Improperly inflated
tires can greatly reduce your fuel economy so make sure your tires are inflated to the manufac-turerrsquos recommended pressure level
2 Maintain your vehicle Replacing a dirty clogged air filter will go a long way to improving your carrsquos fuel efficiency According to the federal government your carrsquos gas mileage could improve by as much as 10 percent with a clean air filter In addition to the fuel savings the new filter will help protect your en-gine as well
3 Clean your fuel sys-tem Carbon and resin buildup in your carrsquos fuel system stifles your en-ginersquos ability to breathe and reduces fuel efficien-cy Flush out your fuel system including the fuel injector intake valve and combustion chamber with a specialized tank addi-
tive Better yet have your fuel system professionally
4 Take it easy and slow down Driving your car at high speeds ldquojack-rab-bit startsrdquo and aggres-sive driving in traffic can greatly reduce fuel effi-ciency The US Depart-ment of Energy says ldquoAs a rule of thumb you can assume that each 5 miles per hour you drive over 60 miles per hour is like pay-ing an additional 20 cents per gallon for gasrdquo
5 Remove excessive weight Remove any un-necessary objects in your vehicle especially heavy items An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle reduces fuel efficiency by as much as 2 percent Lighten up and mileage will go up
6 Use your air condi-tioning sparingly
These tips will help you improve your car and save money

New ag complex hosts second livestock show
By Kim CoxkcoxcampcountynowcomOn March 22-23 Pitts-
burg Independent School District will host another youth project livestock show the second held in the new showbarn on Broach Street
Willie Morgan with the school districtrsquos ag sci-ence program said hav-ing a show in the spring at this time is risky
ldquoYou donrsquot want to spread students too thinrdquo he said with other schools hosting their own shows this time of year ldquoYoursquore taking a chance when you do Therersquos so few dates to do sordquo
However Mr Morgan said last semesterrsquos show had a phenomenal atten-dance
ldquoIt was such a great turnout and if we can get anything close we will have a successful showrdquo he said
This semester the show will be a two-day event with the county show on March 22 and the open show the next day There is no pre-registration for the events Mr Morgan said
ldquoItrsquos whatrsquos called blow and showrdquo he said ldquoPeo-ple show up pay the entry fees and leave after show-ing It moves people out
pretty quicklyrdquoThe livestock show will
also include a petting zoo for younger Pittsburg stu-dents
ldquoOne of our primary goals with the spring show is to motivate lower grades into the ag scienc-esrdquo Mr Morgan said ldquoA lot of kids just donrsquot know we existrdquo
Judging for the coun-ty show competition will be Dennis Guidry from Ashdown Ark a judge Pittsburg has never used before
ldquoHe came highly rec-ommendedrdquo Mr Morgan said ldquoWe hope we have a good showrdquo
On March 14 at 530 pm the Northeast Tex-as Writersrsquo Organization (NETWO) will hold its monthly meeting at the Mount Pleasant Public Library Plans for the up-coming spring writersrsquo conference will be dis-cussed In addition the agenda usually includes

March 1 through May 31 ndash marks the most danger-ous season on Texas road-ways for alcohol-related traffic crashes Thatrsquos why the Texas Department of Transportation is remind-ing motorists to line up a PASS ndash a Person Ap-pointed to Stay Sober ndash be-cause even ldquobuzzedrdquo driv-ing is drunk driving
In 2011 spring account-ed for 26 percent of all alcohol-related traffic crashes in Texas accord-ing to TxDOT more than any other season At the same time weekends con-tinue to claim too many lives ndash more than half (58 percent) of all alcohol-re-lated crashes occurred on a weekend in 2011 With spring break and holiday weekends approaching TxDOT wants motorists to know that consuming just a few drinks can still impair a personrsquos ability to drive and it has launched a public safety campaign to let them know of the ef-
fect alcohol has on driving State law makes it il-
legal for someone with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 008 percent or higher to drive a vehi-cle However drivers can be arrested with a BAC below 08 when a law en-forcement officer has probable cause based on the driverrsquos behavior
ldquoPeople often donrsquot rec-ognize the impact that one or two drinks can have on their ability to operate a vehiclerdquo said John Barton TxDOTrsquos deputy executive director ldquoAlcohol slows your reaction time reduc-es your ability to properly gauge speed or distance from other objects and makes it difficult for you to focus on the road It takes less alcohol than you think so donrsquot take a chancerdquo
People tend to underes-timate their BAC when drinking alcohol accord-ing to a study by the Na-tional Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism As
a result they may think they are still OK to drive because they have only consumed a couple of drinks when in fact they may be impaired
TxDOT will be traveling in March to entertainment districts and college cam-puses throughout the state to remind motorists that ldquobuzzed driving is drunk drivingrdquo and to always line up a PASS ndash every week-end every season Events in the entertainment dis-tricts will conduct hands-on demonstrations that illustrate how consuming alcohol can impair onersquos ability to drive while at college campuses stu-dents will see what itrsquos like behind bars through an interactive backdrop dis-play Students will be able to share their photos and encourage friends to plan ahead for a PASS For more information contact TxDOT Media Relations at MediaRelationstxdotgov or call 512-463-8700

Good news for the esti-mated one in five allergy sufferers who have pets There are ways you and your pet can live together The experts at the Amer-ican College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology suggest you
bull Keep your pet out of the bedroom You spend as much as a third of your time there Letting a dog or cat in increases your exposure to dander and the likelihood of allergic reaction
bull Bathe your pet frequent-ly Itrsquos not the hair shed by the dog or cat that causes you to suffer itrsquos the loose flakes of skin he deposits around the house Bathe your pet at least once a week and dry him as best you can to limit the ani-malrsquos shaking and stirring up more dander
bull Replace air filters reg-
ularly With a pet in the house you should replace the filter in your forced-air heating and cooling sys-tem at least once a month A high-quality pleated filter offers more surface area to capture more dan-der than a flat-surface fil-ter
bull Clean your house fre-quently Doctors recom-mend frequent vacuum-ing of both hard-surface and carpeted floors heav-ily upholstered furniture and draperies
bull Consider a central vac-
uum system These offer the most cleaning power available to remove 100 percent of captured dan-der from the living area without stirring up dust
Reducing exposure through environmental controls however may not be sufficient for some allergic patients You may need an over-the-counter or prescription medica-tion to live comfortably with your pet Ask your physician about the ap-propriate treatment for you

bull 75 percent eat most meals and snacks in the kitchen as a family
bull 75 percent say that in an average week they eat together four or more nights
bull 84 percent say that one of their favorite parts of the day is when their fam-ily eats together
bull Nearly 60 percent would rather spend time with their family or spouse than receive a $5000 pay
raise lose 10 pounds go on a Caribbean cruise or get more sleep
ldquoIt might feel like family dinner is part of a bygone erardquo said Welchrsquos Health and Nutrition Advisory Panel member and RD Sarah-Jane Bedwell ldquoBut parents are making meal-times a priority in order to share a moment with their children Thatrsquos good news because research has shown an association between regular family meals and improved fam-ily nutrition and overall well-beingrdquo
Despite the positive trend many families still
face mealtime challenges Four-in-10 survey respon-dents cite the lack of time to cook meals especially healthy meals as a top barrier to family meal-times

While colon cancer is the third-leading cancer killer in the United States it is also a preventable and treatable diseasemdashif diag-nosed in its early stages
If you are turning 50 donrsquot put off colon cancer screening While March is officially National Colorectal Cancer Aware-ness Month any time is a good time to learn the facts about colon cancer preventionSilent Killer
Colon cancer also known as colorectal cancer takes the lives of more than 50000 Amer-icans each year Itrsquos a silent killer because often there are no symptoms until it is too late to treat Age is the single largest risk factor for the disease Most colon cancers arise from precancer-ous growths in the colon called polyps which can be found during a screen-ing exam and removed before they turn into cancerScreening Saves Lives
The American Soci-ety for Gastrointesti-nal Endoscopy (ASGE) representing the experts in colon cancer screening recommends screening
begin at age 50 A person at average risk with normal screening results wonrsquot need another exam for 10 years If polyps or cancer is found screen-ing intervals should be more frequent Colon cancer runs in families so screening should begin sooner if there is a family history of polyps or colon cancer or if other risk factors are present Some experts suggest Afri-can-Americans should begin screening at age 45
Screening methods include colonoscopy sigmoidoscopy stool blood tests such as fecal occult blood test (FOBT) or fecal immunochemi-cal test (FIT) stool DNA CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) and barium enemaColonoscopy
Colonoscopy is consid-ered the preferred screen-ing method because it is a preventive exam It is the only test that both finds and removes precancerous polyps during the same exam With other methods if a polyp or other abnor-mality is found the test must often be followed by a colonoscopy Colonosco-
py is a safe effective and well-tolerated exam
ldquoASGE encourages patients to get screened at intervals recommend-ed by their doctor to find a qualified endoscopist for their colonoscopy who has had specialized train-ing in the procedure and to carefully follow prepa-ration instructions to ensure that the colon is thoroughly cleaned so that no polyps or cancers are missed during the procedurerdquo said ASGE President Thomas M Deas Jr MD MMM FASGE ldquoA quality colo-noscopy and appropri-ate follow-up exams save livesrdquoColon Cancer Facts
Begin screening at age 50 family historyother risk factorsmdashscreen before age 50 colonos-copy finds and removes polyps before they turn into cancer highly treat-able if caught early bleeding or unexplained abdominal pain Talk to your doctor immediatelyLearn More

Go Tell Crusade to host kick-off banquet March 18By Kim Cox
kcoxcampcountynowcom
Evangelist Rick Gage will host a Go Tell cru-sade this May but first he will be here on March 18 for a kick-off banquet
held in Mount PleasantldquoThe vision for a crusade
came about as the result of a conversation with Bo Pilgrim last yearrdquo said Rev Gage whose father is an evangelist as well ldquoHe expressed a desire to
see another crusade come to the PittsburgMount Pleasant areardquo
Rev Gage said they talk-ed about the previous cru-sade when the Rev Billy Graham came to Mount Pleasant in 2000
ldquoHe felt it was time for another onerdquo Rev Gage said
Rev Gage said his min-istry focuses on more ru-ral areas as opposed to big cities with a special emphasis on reaching the youth
ldquoBobby Bowden a great college football coach at Florida State said lsquoAmer-icarsquos youth may not be 100 percent of the population but it is 100 percent of our futurersquordquo Mr Gage said ldquoWe want to do all we can to reach the kidsrdquo
The actual crusade to be held on May 12-15 will include a special youth night on May 15
Rev Gage is a native of Dallas who now lives in the Atlanta Ga area
Orignially he said foot-ball was his life and after graduating from Camer-on University in Oklaho-ma he became a football coach at Texas Tech Uni-versity
Then one Sunday he said he felt compelled to go to church to hear an evangelist friend of his fa-therrsquos
ldquoIt was while I was liv-ing in Lubbock striving to become the next Tom Landry when God got a hold of my liferdquo he said
After coming to Christ Rev Gage quit his job at Tech and went to coach football at Liberty Univer-sity in Virginia the uni-versity started by Jerry Falwell He worked there for two years before he said Christ called him in a
different direction ldquoI had lost the ambi-
tionrdquo he said ldquoI had lost the firerdquo
Rev Gage quit coaching and surrendered to the ministry enrolling in the graduate program at Lib-erty University to become a full-time evangelist like his father
After graduating he said his ldquoheart was to reach rural Americardquo
ldquoPeople in small towns need Jesus just as much as big townsrdquo Rev Gage said
While in the area Rev
Gage will also address all the junior highs and high schools in the area as a motivational speaker speaking to 6000 students in Northeast Texas
ldquoWersquoll be reinforcing what the school systems are trying to accomplish to combat drugs and al-coholrdquo he said ldquoWe want to remind these teenag-ers you were born to be a winner in the game of liferdquo
The kick-off banquet will be held on March 18 at the Mount Pleasant Civic Center

2 Maintain your vehicle Replacing a dirty clogged air filter will go a long way to improving your carrsquos fuel efficiency According to the federal government your carrsquos gas mileage could improve by as much as 10 percent with a clean air filter In addition to the fuel savings the new filter will help protect your en-gine as well
3 Clean your fuel sys-tem Carbon and resin buildup in your carrsquos fuel system stifles your en-ginersquos ability to breathe and reduces fuel efficien-cy Flush out your fuel system including the fuel injector intake valve and combustion chamber with a specialized tank addi-
tive Better yet have your fuel system professionally
4 Take it easy and slow down Driving your car at high speeds ldquojack-rab-bit startsrdquo and aggres-sive driving in traffic can greatly reduce fuel effi-ciency The US Depart-ment of Energy says ldquoAs a rule of thumb you can assume that each 5 miles per hour you drive over 60 miles per hour is like pay-ing an additional 20 cents per gallon for gasrdquo
5 Remove excessive weight Remove any un-necessary objects in your vehicle especially heavy items An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle reduces fuel efficiency by as much as 2 percent Lighten up and mileage will go up
6 Use your air condi-tioning sparingly
These tips will help you improve your car and save money

New ag complex hosts second livestock show
By Kim CoxkcoxcampcountynowcomOn March 22-23 Pitts-
burg Independent School District will host another youth project livestock show the second held in the new showbarn on Broach Street
Willie Morgan with the school districtrsquos ag sci-ence program said hav-ing a show in the spring at this time is risky
ldquoYou donrsquot want to spread students too thinrdquo he said with other schools hosting their own shows this time of year ldquoYoursquore taking a chance when you do Therersquos so few dates to do sordquo
However Mr Morgan said last semesterrsquos show had a phenomenal atten-dance
ldquoIt was such a great turnout and if we can get anything close we will have a successful showrdquo he said
This semester the show will be a two-day event with the county show on March 22 and the open show the next day There is no pre-registration for the events Mr Morgan said
ldquoItrsquos whatrsquos called blow and showrdquo he said ldquoPeo-ple show up pay the entry fees and leave after show-ing It moves people out
pretty quicklyrdquoThe livestock show will
also include a petting zoo for younger Pittsburg stu-dents
ldquoOne of our primary goals with the spring show is to motivate lower grades into the ag scienc-esrdquo Mr Morgan said ldquoA lot of kids just donrsquot know we existrdquo
Judging for the coun-ty show competition will be Dennis Guidry from Ashdown Ark a judge Pittsburg has never used before
ldquoHe came highly rec-ommendedrdquo Mr Morgan said ldquoWe hope we have a good showrdquo

March 1 through May 31 ndash marks the most danger-ous season on Texas road-ways for alcohol-related traffic crashes Thatrsquos why the Texas Department of Transportation is remind-ing motorists to line up a PASS ndash a Person Ap-pointed to Stay Sober ndash be-cause even ldquobuzzedrdquo driv-ing is drunk driving
In 2011 spring account-ed for 26 percent of all alcohol-related traffic crashes in Texas accord-ing to TxDOT more than any other season At the same time weekends con-tinue to claim too many lives ndash more than half (58 percent) of all alcohol-re-lated crashes occurred on a weekend in 2011 With spring break and holiday weekends approaching TxDOT wants motorists to know that consuming just a few drinks can still impair a personrsquos ability to drive and it has launched a public safety campaign to let them know of the ef-
fect alcohol has on driving State law makes it il-
legal for someone with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 008 percent or higher to drive a vehi-cle However drivers can be arrested with a BAC below 08 when a law en-forcement officer has probable cause based on the driverrsquos behavior
ldquoPeople often donrsquot rec-ognize the impact that one or two drinks can have on their ability to operate a vehiclerdquo said John Barton TxDOTrsquos deputy executive director ldquoAlcohol slows your reaction time reduc-es your ability to properly gauge speed or distance from other objects and makes it difficult for you to focus on the road It takes less alcohol than you think so donrsquot take a chancerdquo
People tend to underes-timate their BAC when drinking alcohol accord-ing to a study by the Na-tional Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism As
a result they may think they are still OK to drive because they have only consumed a couple of drinks when in fact they may be impaired
TxDOT will be traveling in March to entertainment districts and college cam-puses throughout the state to remind motorists that ldquobuzzed driving is drunk drivingrdquo and to always line up a PASS ndash every week-end every season Events in the entertainment dis-tricts will conduct hands-on demonstrations that illustrate how consuming alcohol can impair onersquos ability to drive while at college campuses stu-dents will see what itrsquos like behind bars through an interactive backdrop dis-play Students will be able to share their photos and encourage friends to plan ahead for a PASS For more information contact TxDOT Media Relations at MediaRelationstxdotgov or call 512-463-8700

Good news for the esti-mated one in five allergy sufferers who have pets There are ways you and your pet can live together The experts at the Amer-ican College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology suggest you
bull Keep your pet out of the bedroom You spend as much as a third of your time there Letting a dog or cat in increases your exposure to dander and the likelihood of allergic reaction
bull Bathe your pet frequent-ly Itrsquos not the hair shed by the dog or cat that causes you to suffer itrsquos the loose flakes of skin he deposits around the house Bathe your pet at least once a week and dry him as best you can to limit the ani-malrsquos shaking and stirring up more dander
bull Replace air filters reg-
ularly With a pet in the house you should replace the filter in your forced-air heating and cooling sys-tem at least once a month A high-quality pleated filter offers more surface area to capture more dan-der than a flat-surface fil-ter
bull Clean your house fre-quently Doctors recom-mend frequent vacuum-ing of both hard-surface and carpeted floors heav-ily upholstered furniture and draperies
bull Consider a central vac-
uum system These offer the most cleaning power available to remove 100 percent of captured dan-der from the living area without stirring up dust
Reducing exposure through environmental controls however may not be sufficient for some allergic patients You may need an over-the-counter or prescription medica-tion to live comfortably with your pet Ask your physician about the ap-propriate treatment for you

bull 75 percent say that in an average week they eat together four or more nights
bull 84 percent say that one of their favorite parts of the day is when their fam-ily eats together
bull Nearly 60 percent would rather spend time with their family or spouse than receive a $5000 pay

ldquoIt might feel like family dinner is part of a bygone erardquo said Welchrsquos Health and Nutrition Advisory Panel member and RD Sarah-Jane Bedwell ldquoBut parents are making meal-times a priority in order to share a moment with their children Thatrsquos good news because research has shown an association between regular family meals and improved fam-ily nutrition and overall well-beingrdquo

Rick Gage
Go Tell Crusade to host kick-off banquet March 18By Kim Cox
kcoxcampcountynowcom
Evangelist Rick Gage will host a Go Tell cru-sade this May but first he will be here on March 18 for a kick-off banquet
held in Mount PleasantldquoThe vision for a crusade
came about as the result of a conversation with Bo Pilgrim last yearrdquo said Rev Gage whose father is an evangelist as well ldquoHe expressed a desire to
see another crusade come to the PittsburgMount Pleasant areardquo
Rev Gage said they talk-ed about the previous cru-sade when the Rev Billy Graham came to Mount Pleasant in 2000
ldquoHe felt it was time for another onerdquo Rev Gage said
Rev Gage said his min-istry focuses on more ru-ral areas as opposed to big cities with a special emphasis on reaching the youth
ldquoBobby Bowden a great college football coach at Florida State said lsquoAmer-icarsquos youth may not be 100 percent of the population but it is 100 percent of our futurersquordquo Mr Gage said ldquoWe want to do all we can to reach the kidsrdquo
The actual crusade to be held on May 12-15 will include a special youth night on May 15
Rev Gage is a native of Dallas who now lives in the Atlanta Ga area
Orignially he said foot-ball was his life and after graduating from Camer-on University in Oklaho-ma he became a football coach at Texas Tech Uni-versity
Then one Sunday he said he felt compelled to go to church to hear an evangelist friend of his fa-therrsquos
ldquoIt was while I was liv-ing in Lubbock striving to become the next Tom Landry when God got a hold of my liferdquo he said
After coming to Christ Rev Gage quit his job at Tech and went to coach football at Liberty Univer-sity in Virginia the uni-versity started by Jerry Falwell He worked there for two years before he said Christ called him in a
different direction ldquoI had lost the ambi-
tionrdquo he said ldquoI had lost the firerdquo
Rev Gage quit coaching and surrendered to the ministry enrolling in the graduate program at Lib-erty University to become a full-time evangelist like his father
After graduating he said his ldquoheart was to reach rural Americardquo
ldquoPeople in small towns need Jesus just as much as big townsrdquo Rev Gage said
While in the area Rev
Gage will also address all the junior highs and high schools in the area as a motivational speaker speaking to 6000 students in Northeast Texas
ldquoWersquoll be reinforcing what the school systems are trying to accomplish to combat drugs and al-coholrdquo he said ldquoWe want to remind these teenag-ers you were born to be a winner in the game of liferdquo
The kick-off banquet will be held on March 18 at the Mount Pleasant Civic Center
Take it easy save moneyLetrsquos face it Your gas dol-
lars arenrsquot going nearly as far as they used to
However there are a number of things you can do to help improve your carrsquos fuel efficiency Con-sider these six tips from the car-care experts to maximize your carrsquos per-formance
1 Check your tire pres-sure Improperly inflated
tires can greatly reduce your fuel economy so make sure your tires are inflated to the manufac-turerrsquos recommended pressure level
2 Maintain your vehicle Replacing a dirty clogged air filter will go a long way to improving your carrsquos fuel efficiency According to the federal government your carrsquos gas mileage could improve by as much as 10 percent with a clean air filter In addition to the fuel savings the new filter will help protect your en-gine as well
3 Clean your fuel sys-tem Carbon and resin buildup in your carrsquos fuel system stifles your en-ginersquos ability to breathe and reduces fuel efficien-cy Flush out your fuel system including the fuel injector intake valve and combustion chamber with a specialized tank addi-
tive Better yet have your fuel system professionally
4 Take it easy and slow down Driving your car at high speeds ldquojack-rab-bit startsrdquo and aggres-sive driving in traffic can greatly reduce fuel effi-ciency The US Depart-ment of Energy says ldquoAs a rule of thumb you can assume that each 5 miles per hour you drive over 60 miles per hour is like pay-ing an additional 20 cents per gallon for gasrdquo
5 Remove excessive weight Remove any un-necessary objects in your vehicle especially heavy items An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle reduces fuel efficiency by as much as 2 percent Lighten up and mileage will go up
6 Use your air condi-tioning sparingly
These tips will help you improve your car and save money

New ag complex hosts second livestock show
By Kim CoxkcoxcampcountynowcomOn March 22-23 Pitts-
burg Independent School District will host another youth project livestock show the second held in the new showbarn on Broach Street
Willie Morgan with the school districtrsquos ag sci-ence program said hav-ing a show in the spring at this time is risky
ldquoYou donrsquot want to spread students too thinrdquo he said with other schools hosting their own shows this time of year ldquoYoursquore taking a chance when you do Therersquos so few dates to do sordquo
However Mr Morgan said last semesterrsquos show had a phenomenal atten-dance
ldquoIt was such a great turnout and if we can get anything close we will have a successful showrdquo he said
This semester the show will be a two-day event with the county show on March 22 and the open show the next day There is no pre-registration for the events Mr Morgan said
ldquoItrsquos whatrsquos called blow and showrdquo he said ldquoPeo-ple show up pay the entry fees and leave after show-ing It moves people out
pretty quicklyrdquoThe livestock show will
also include a petting zoo for younger Pittsburg stu-dents
ldquoOne of our primary goals with the spring show is to motivate lower grades into the ag scienc-esrdquo Mr Morgan said ldquoA lot of kids just donrsquot know we existrdquo
Judging for the coun-ty show competition will be Dennis Guidry from Ashdown Ark a judge Pittsburg has never used before
ldquoHe came highly rec-ommendedrdquo Mr Morgan said ldquoWe hope we have a good showrdquo
On March 14 at 530 pm the Northeast Tex-as Writersrsquo Organization (NETWO) will hold its monthly meeting at the Mount Pleasant Public Library Plans for the up-coming spring writersrsquo conference will be dis-cussed In addition the agenda usually includes
a brief business meeting and afterward members share works in progress Guests are also welcome to share
Additionally many NETWO members meet informally at noon on Saturdays at the Pizza Inn in Pittsburg
NETWO meeting are
free and open to aspiring writers and their friends For more information about meeting and other activities sponsored by NETWO visit the web-site wwwnetwoorg

March 1 through May 31 ndash marks the most danger-ous season on Texas road-ways for alcohol-related traffic crashes Thatrsquos why the Texas Department of Transportation is remind-ing motorists to line up a PASS ndash a Person Ap-pointed to Stay Sober ndash be-cause even ldquobuzzedrdquo driv-ing is drunk driving
In 2011 spring account-ed for 26 percent of all alcohol-related traffic crashes in Texas accord-ing to TxDOT more than any other season At the same time weekends con-tinue to claim too many lives ndash more than half (58 percent) of all alcohol-re-lated crashes occurred on a weekend in 2011 With spring break and holiday weekends approaching TxDOT wants motorists to know that consuming just a few drinks can still impair a personrsquos ability to drive and it has launched a public safety campaign to let them know of the ef-
fect alcohol has on driving State law makes it il-
legal for someone with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 008 percent or higher to drive a vehi-cle However drivers can be arrested with a BAC below 08 when a law en-forcement officer has probable cause based on the driverrsquos behavior
ldquoPeople often donrsquot rec-ognize the impact that one or two drinks can have on their ability to operate a vehiclerdquo said John Barton TxDOTrsquos deputy executive director ldquoAlcohol slows your reaction time reduc-es your ability to properly gauge speed or distance from other objects and makes it difficult for you to focus on the road It takes less alcohol than you think so donrsquot take a chancerdquo
People tend to underes-timate their BAC when drinking alcohol accord-ing to a study by the Na-tional Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism As
a result they may think they are still OK to drive because they have only consumed a couple of drinks when in fact they may be impaired
TxDOT will be traveling in March to entertainment districts and college cam-puses throughout the state to remind motorists that ldquobuzzed driving is drunk drivingrdquo and to always line up a PASS ndash every week-end every season Events in the entertainment dis-tricts will conduct hands-on demonstrations that illustrate how consuming alcohol can impair onersquos ability to drive while at college campuses stu-dents will see what itrsquos like behind bars through an interactive backdrop dis-play Students will be able to share their photos and encourage friends to plan ahead for a PASS For more information contact TxDOT Media Relations at MediaRelationstxdotgov or call 512-463-8700

Good news for the esti-mated one in five allergy sufferers who have pets There are ways you and your pet can live together The experts at the Amer-ican College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology suggest you
bull Keep your pet out of the bedroom You spend as much as a third of your time there Letting a dog or cat in increases your exposure to dander and the likelihood of allergic reaction
bull Bathe your pet frequent-ly Itrsquos not the hair shed by the dog or cat that causes you to suffer itrsquos the loose flakes of skin he deposits around the house Bathe your pet at least once a week and dry him as best you can to limit the ani-malrsquos shaking and stirring up more dander
bull Replace air filters reg-
ularly With a pet in the house you should replace the filter in your forced-air heating and cooling sys-tem at least once a month A high-quality pleated filter offers more surface area to capture more dan-der than a flat-surface fil-ter
bull Clean your house fre-quently Doctors recom-mend frequent vacuum-ing of both hard-surface and carpeted floors heav-ily upholstered furniture and draperies
bull Consider a central vac-
uum system These offer the most cleaning power available to remove 100 percent of captured dan-der from the living area without stirring up dust
Reducing exposure through environmental controls however may not be sufficient for some allergic patients You may need an over-the-counter or prescription medica-tion to live comfortably with your pet Ask your physician about the ap-propriate treatment for you

Hectic schedules and increasing demands con-tinue to impact todayrsquos American families but perhaps one of the stron-gest barometers of fam-ilies is family mealtime Welchrsquos Kitchen Table Report shows families are stronger than evermdashmak-ing time to eat together frequently and enjoying sharing quality time as a family
gether as often as or more today than their families did when they were chil-dren
bull 75 percent eat most meals and snacks in the kitchen as a family
bull 75 percent say that in an average week they eat together four or more nights
bull 84 percent say that one of their favorite parts of the day is when their fam-ily eats together
bull Nearly 60 percent would rather spend time with their family or spouse than receive a $5000 pay
raise lose 10 pounds go on a Caribbean cruise or get more sleep
ldquoIt might feel like family dinner is part of a bygone erardquo said Welchrsquos Health and Nutrition Advisory Panel member and RD Sarah-Jane Bedwell ldquoBut parents are making meal-times a priority in order to share a moment with their children Thatrsquos good news because research has shown an association between regular family meals and improved fam-ily nutrition and overall well-beingrdquo
Despite the positive trend many families still
face mealtime challenges Four-in-10 survey respon-dents cite the lack of time to cook meals especially healthy meals as a top barrier to family meal-times
ldquoThere are solutions to combat common meal-time obstaclesrdquo said Ms Bedwell ldquoTo help fam-ilies enjoy more happy and healthy mealtime mo-ments we created an on-line toolkit that includes family-friendly meal makeovers heart-healthy recipes and morerdquo

New ag complex hosts second livestock show
By Kim CoxkcoxcampcountynowcomOn March 22-23 Pitts-
burg Independent School District will host another youth project livestock show the second held in the new showbarn on Broach Street
Willie Morgan with the school districtrsquos ag sci-ence program said hav-ing a show in the spring at this time is risky
ldquoYou donrsquot want to spread students too thinrdquo he said with other schools hosting their own shows this time of year ldquoYoursquore taking a chance when you do Therersquos so few dates to do sordquo
However Mr Morgan said last semesterrsquos show had a phenomenal atten-dance
ldquoIt was such a great turnout and if we can get anything close we will have a successful showrdquo he said
This semester the show will be a two-day event with the county show on March 22 and the open show the next day There is no pre-registration for the events Mr Morgan said
ldquoItrsquos whatrsquos called blow and showrdquo he said ldquoPeo-ple show up pay the entry fees and leave after show-ing It moves people out
pretty quicklyrdquoThe livestock show will
also include a petting zoo for younger Pittsburg stu-dents

March 1 through May 31 ndash marks the most danger-ous season on Texas road-ways for alcohol-related traffic crashes Thatrsquos why the Texas Department of Transportation is remind-ing motorists to line up a PASS ndash a Person Ap-pointed to Stay Sober ndash be-cause even ldquobuzzedrdquo driv-ing is drunk driving
In 2011 spring account-ed for 26 percent of all alcohol-related traffic crashes in Texas accord-ing to TxDOT more than any other season At the same time weekends con-tinue to claim too many lives ndash more than half (58 percent) of all alcohol-re-lated crashes occurred on a weekend in 2011 With spring break and holiday weekends approaching TxDOT wants motorists to know that consuming just a few drinks can still impair a personrsquos ability to drive and it has launched a public safety campaign to let them know of the ef-
fect alcohol has on driving State law makes it il-
legal for someone with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 008 percent or higher to drive a vehi-cle However drivers can be arrested with a BAC below 08 when a law en-forcement officer has probable cause based on the driverrsquos behavior
ldquoPeople often donrsquot rec-ognize the impact that one or two drinks can have on their ability to operate a vehiclerdquo said John Barton TxDOTrsquos deputy executive director ldquoAlcohol slows your reaction time reduc-es your ability to properly gauge speed or distance from other objects and makes it difficult for you to focus on the road It takes less alcohol than you think so donrsquot take a chancerdquo
People tend to underes-timate their BAC when drinking alcohol accord-ing to a study by the Na-tional Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism As
a result they may think they are still OK to drive because they have only consumed a couple of drinks when in fact they may be impaired
TxDOT will be traveling in March to entertainment districts and college cam-puses throughout the state to remind motorists that ldquobuzzed driving is drunk drivingrdquo and to always line up a PASS ndash every week-end every season Events in the entertainment dis-tricts will conduct hands-on demonstrations that illustrate how consuming alcohol can impair onersquos ability to drive while at college campuses stu-dents will see what itrsquos like behind bars through an interactive backdrop dis-play Students will be able to share their photos and encourage friends to plan ahead for a PASS For more information contact TxDOT Media Relations at MediaRelationstxdotgov or call 512-463-8700

Good news for the esti-mated one in five allergy sufferers who have pets There are ways you and your pet can live together The experts at the Amer-ican College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology suggest you
bull Keep your pet out of the bedroom You spend as much as a third of your time there Letting a dog or cat in increases your exposure to dander and the likelihood of allergic reaction
bull Bathe your pet frequent-ly Itrsquos not the hair shed by the dog or cat that causes you to suffer itrsquos the loose flakes of skin he deposits around the house Bathe your pet at least once a week and dry him as best you can to limit the ani-malrsquos shaking and stirring up more dander
bull Replace air filters reg-
ularly With a pet in the house you should replace the filter in your forced-air heating and cooling sys-tem at least once a month A high-quality pleated filter offers more surface area to capture more dan-der than a flat-surface fil-ter
bull Clean your house fre-quently Doctors recom-mend frequent vacuum-ing of both hard-surface and carpeted floors heav-ily upholstered furniture and draperies
bull Consider a central vac-
uum system These offer the most cleaning power available to remove 100 percent of captured dan-der from the living area without stirring up dust
Reducing exposure through environmental controls however may not be sufficient for some allergic patients You may need an over-the-counter or prescription medica-tion to live comfortably with your pet Ask your physician about the ap-propriate treatment for you

Hectic schedules and increasing demands con-tinue to impact todayrsquos American families but perhaps one of the stron-gest barometers of fam-ilies is family mealtime Welchrsquos Kitchen Table Report shows families are stronger than evermdashmak-ing time to eat together frequently and enjoying sharing quality time as a family
gether as often as or more today than their families did when they were chil-dren
bull 75 percent eat most meals and snacks in the kitchen as a family
bull 75 percent say that in an average week they eat together four or more nights
bull 84 percent say that one of their favorite parts of the day is when their fam-ily eats together
bull Nearly 60 percent would rather spend time with their family or spouse than receive a $5000 pay
raise lose 10 pounds go on a Caribbean cruise or get more sleep
ldquoIt might feel like family dinner is part of a bygone erardquo said Welchrsquos Health and Nutrition Advisory Panel member and RD Sarah-Jane Bedwell ldquoBut parents are making meal-times a priority in order to share a moment with their children Thatrsquos good news because research has shown an association between regular family meals and improved fam-ily nutrition and overall well-beingrdquo
Despite the positive trend many families still
face mealtime challenges Four-in-10 survey respon-dents cite the lack of time to cook meals especially healthy meals as a top barrier to family meal-times
ldquoThere are solutions to combat common meal-time obstaclesrdquo said Ms Bedwell ldquoTo help fam-ilies enjoy more happy and healthy mealtime mo-ments we created an on-line toolkit that includes family-friendly meal makeovers heart-healthy recipes and morerdquo

New ag complex hosts second livestock show
By Kim CoxkcoxcampcountynowcomOn March 22-23 Pitts-
burg Independent School District will host another youth project livestock show the second held in the new showbarn on Broach Street
Willie Morgan with the school districtrsquos ag sci-ence program said hav-ing a show in the spring at this time is risky
ldquoYou donrsquot want to spread students too thinrdquo he said with other schools hosting their own shows this time of year ldquoYoursquore taking a chance when you do Therersquos so few dates to do sordquo
However Mr Morgan said last semesterrsquos show had a phenomenal atten-dance
ldquoIt was such a great turnout and if we can get anything close we will have a successful showrdquo he said
This semester the show will be a two-day event with the county show on March 22 and the open show the next day There is no pre-registration for the events Mr Morgan said
ldquoItrsquos whatrsquos called blow and showrdquo he said ldquoPeo-ple show up pay the entry fees and leave after show-ing It moves people out
pretty quicklyrdquoThe livestock show will
also include a petting zoo for younger Pittsburg stu-dents
ldquoOne of our primary goals with the spring show is to motivate lower grades into the ag scienc-esrdquo Mr Morgan said ldquoA lot of kids just donrsquot know we existrdquo
Judging for the coun-ty show competition will be Dennis Guidry from Ashdown Ark a judge Pittsburg has never used before
ldquoHe came highly rec-ommendedrdquo Mr Morgan said ldquoWe hope we have a good showrdquo
On March 14 at 530 pm the Northeast Tex-as Writersrsquo Organization (NETWO) will hold its monthly meeting at the Mount Pleasant Public Library Plans for the up-coming spring writersrsquo conference will be dis-cussed In addition the agenda usually includes
a brief business meeting and afterward members share works in progress Guests are also welcome to share
Additionally many NETWO members meet informally at noon on Saturdays at the Pizza Inn in Pittsburg
NETWO meeting are
free and open to aspiring writers and their friends For more information about meeting and other activities sponsored by NETWO visit the web-site wwwnetwoorg

March 1 through May 31 ndash marks the most danger-ous season on Texas road-ways for alcohol-related traffic crashes Thatrsquos why the Texas Department of Transportation is remind-ing motorists to line up a PASS ndash a Person Ap-pointed to Stay Sober ndash be-cause even ldquobuzzedrdquo driv-ing is drunk driving
In 2011 spring account-ed for 26 percent of all alcohol-related traffic crashes in Texas accord-ing to TxDOT more than any other season At the same time weekends con-tinue to claim too many lives ndash more than half (58 percent) of all alcohol-re-lated crashes occurred on a weekend in 2011 With spring break and holiday weekends approaching TxDOT wants motorists to know that consuming just a few drinks can still impair a personrsquos ability to drive and it has launched a public safety campaign to let them know of the ef-
fect alcohol has on driving State law makes it il-
legal for someone with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 008 percent or higher to drive a vehi-cle However drivers can be arrested with a BAC below 08 when a law en-forcement officer has probable cause based on the driverrsquos behavior
ldquoPeople often donrsquot rec-ognize the impact that one or two drinks can have on their ability to operate a vehiclerdquo said John Barton TxDOTrsquos deputy executive director ldquoAlcohol slows your reaction time reduc-es your ability to properly gauge speed or distance from other objects and makes it difficult for you to focus on the road It takes less alcohol than you think so donrsquot take a chancerdquo
People tend to underes-timate their BAC when drinking alcohol accord-ing to a study by the Na-tional Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism As
a result they may think they are still OK to drive because they have only consumed a couple of drinks when in fact they may be impaired
TxDOT will be traveling in March to entertainment districts and college cam-puses throughout the state to remind motorists that ldquobuzzed driving is drunk drivingrdquo and to always line up a PASS ndash every week-end every season Events in the entertainment dis-tricts will conduct hands-on demonstrations that illustrate how consuming alcohol can impair onersquos ability to drive while at college campuses stu-dents will see what itrsquos like behind bars through an interactive backdrop dis-play Students will be able to share their photos and encourage friends to plan ahead for a PASS For more information contact TxDOT Media Relations at MediaRelationstxdotgov or call 512-463-8700

Good news for the esti-mated one in five allergy sufferers who have pets There are ways you and your pet can live together The experts at the Amer-ican College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology suggest you
bull Keep your pet out of the bedroom You spend as much as a third of your time there Letting a dog or cat in increases your exposure to dander and the likelihood of allergic reaction
bull Bathe your pet frequent-ly Itrsquos not the hair shed by the dog or cat that causes you to suffer itrsquos the loose flakes of skin he deposits around the house Bathe your pet at least once a week and dry him as best you can to limit the ani-malrsquos shaking and stirring up more dander
bull Replace air filters reg-
ularly With a pet in the house you should replace the filter in your forced-air heating and cooling sys-tem at least once a month A high-quality pleated filter offers more surface area to capture more dan-der than a flat-surface fil-ter
bull Clean your house fre-quently Doctors recom-mend frequent vacuum-ing of both hard-surface and carpeted floors heav-ily upholstered furniture and draperies
bull Consider a central vac-
uum system These offer the most cleaning power available to remove 100 percent of captured dan-der from the living area without stirring up dust
Reducing exposure through environmental controls however may not be sufficient for some allergic patients You may need an over-the-counter or prescription medica-tion to live comfortably with your pet Ask your physician about the ap-propriate treatment for you

Hectic schedules and increasing demands con-tinue to impact todayrsquos American families but perhaps one of the stron-gest barometers of fam-ilies is family mealtime Welchrsquos Kitchen Table Report shows families are stronger than evermdashmak-ing time to eat together frequently and enjoying sharing quality time as a family
gether as often as or more today than their families did when they were chil-dren
bull 75 percent eat most meals and snacks in the kitchen as a family
bull 75 percent say that in an average week they eat together four or more nights
bull 84 percent say that one of their favorite parts of the day is when their fam-ily eats together
bull Nearly 60 percent would rather spend time with their family or spouse than receive a $5000 pay
raise lose 10 pounds go on a Caribbean cruise or get more sleep
ldquoIt might feel like family dinner is part of a bygone erardquo said Welchrsquos Health and Nutrition Advisory Panel member and RD Sarah-Jane Bedwell ldquoBut parents are making meal-times a priority in order to share a moment with their children Thatrsquos good news because research has shown an association between regular family meals and improved fam-ily nutrition and overall well-beingrdquo
Despite the positive trend many families still
face mealtime challenges Four-in-10 survey respon-dents cite the lack of time to cook meals especially healthy meals as a top barrier to family meal-times
ldquoThere are solutions to combat common meal-time obstaclesrdquo said Ms Bedwell ldquoTo help fam-ilies enjoy more happy and healthy mealtime mo-ments we created an on-line toolkit that includes family-friendly meal makeovers heart-healthy recipes and morerdquo

March 1 through May 31 ndash marks the most danger-ous season on Texas road-ways for alcohol-related traffic crashes Thatrsquos why the Texas Department of Transportation is remind-ing motorists to line up a PASS ndash a Person Ap-pointed to Stay Sober ndash be-cause even ldquobuzzedrdquo driv-ing is drunk driving
In 2011 spring account-ed for 26 percent of all alcohol-related traffic crashes in Texas accord-ing to TxDOT more than any other season At the same time weekends con-tinue to claim too many lives ndash more than half (58 percent) of all alcohol-re-lated crashes occurred on a weekend in 2011 With spring break and holiday weekends approaching TxDOT wants motorists to know that consuming just a few drinks can still impair a personrsquos ability to drive and it has launched a public safety campaign to let them know of the ef-
fect alcohol has on driving State law makes it il-
legal for someone with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 008 percent or higher to drive a vehi-cle However drivers can be arrested with a BAC below 08 when a law en-forcement officer has probable cause based on the driverrsquos behavior
ldquoPeople often donrsquot rec-ognize the impact that one or two drinks can have on their ability to operate a vehiclerdquo said John Barton TxDOTrsquos deputy executive director ldquoAlcohol slows your reaction time reduc-es your ability to properly gauge speed or distance from other objects and makes it difficult for you to focus on the road It takes less alcohol than you think so donrsquot take a chancerdquo
People tend to underes-timate their BAC when drinking alcohol accord-ing to a study by the Na-tional Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism As
a result they may think they are still OK to drive because they have only consumed a couple of drinks when in fact they may be impaired
TxDOT will be traveling in March to entertainment districts and college cam-puses throughout the state to remind motorists that ldquobuzzed driving is drunk drivingrdquo and to always line up a PASS ndash every week-end every season Events in the entertainment dis-tricts will conduct hands-on demonstrations that illustrate how consuming alcohol can impair onersquos ability to drive while at college campuses stu-dents will see what itrsquos like behind bars through an interactive backdrop dis-play Students will be able to share their photos and encourage friends to plan ahead for a PASS For more information contact TxDOT Media Relations at MediaRelationstxdotgov or call 512-463-8700

Good news for the esti-mated one in five allergy sufferers who have pets There are ways you and your pet can live together The experts at the Amer-ican College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology suggest you
bull Keep your pet out of the bedroom You spend as much as a third of your time there Letting a dog or cat in increases your exposure to dander and the likelihood of allergic reaction
bull Bathe your pet frequent-ly Itrsquos not the hair shed by the dog or cat that causes you to suffer itrsquos the loose flakes of skin he deposits around the house Bathe your pet at least once a week and dry him as best you can to limit the ani-malrsquos shaking and stirring up more dander
bull Replace air filters reg-
ularly With a pet in the house you should replace the filter in your forced-air heating and cooling sys-tem at least once a month A high-quality pleated filter offers more surface area to capture more dan-der than a flat-surface fil-ter
bull Clean your house fre-quently Doctors recom-mend frequent vacuum-ing of both hard-surface and carpeted floors heav-ily upholstered furniture and draperies
bull Consider a central vac-
uum system These offer the most cleaning power available to remove 100 percent of captured dan-der from the living area without stirring up dust
Reducing exposure through environmental controls however may not be sufficient for some allergic patients You may need an over-the-counter or prescription medica-tion to live comfortably with your pet Ask your physician about the ap-propriate treatment for you

Hectic schedules and increasing demands con-tinue to impact todayrsquos American families but perhaps one of the stron-gest barometers of fam-ilies is family mealtime Welchrsquos Kitchen Table Report shows families are stronger than evermdashmak-ing time to eat together frequently and enjoying sharing quality time as a family
gether as often as or more today than their families did when they were chil-dren
bull 75 percent eat most meals and snacks in the kitchen as a family
bull 75 percent say that in an average week they eat together four or more nights
bull 84 percent say that one of their favorite parts of the day is when their fam-ily eats together
bull Nearly 60 percent would rather spend time with their family or spouse than receive a $5000 pay
raise lose 10 pounds go on a Caribbean cruise or get more sleep
ldquoIt might feel like family dinner is part of a bygone erardquo said Welchrsquos Health and Nutrition Advisory Panel member and RD Sarah-Jane Bedwell ldquoBut parents are making meal-times a priority in order to share a moment with their children Thatrsquos good news because research has shown an association between regular family meals and improved fam-ily nutrition and overall well-beingrdquo
Despite the positive trend many families still
face mealtime challenges Four-in-10 survey respon-dents cite the lack of time to cook meals especially healthy meals as a top barrier to family meal-times
ldquoThere are solutions to combat common meal-time obstaclesrdquo said Ms Bedwell ldquoTo help fam-ilies enjoy more happy and healthy mealtime mo-ments we created an on-line toolkit that includes family-friendly meal makeovers heart-healthy recipes and morerdquo

In 2011 spring account-ed for 26 percent of all alcohol-related traffic crashes in Texas accord-ing to TxDOT more than any other season At the same time weekends con-tinue to claim too many lives ndash more than half (58 percent) of all alcohol-re-lated crashes occurred on a weekend in 2011 With spring break and holiday weekends approaching TxDOT wants motorists to know that consuming just a few drinks can still impair a personrsquos ability to drive and it has launched a public safety campaign to let them know of the ef-
fect alcohol has on driving State law makes it il-
legal for someone with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 008 percent or higher to drive a vehi-cle However drivers can be arrested with a BAC below 08 when a law en-forcement officer has probable cause based on the driverrsquos behavior
ldquoPeople often donrsquot rec-ognize the impact that one or two drinks can have on their ability to operate a vehiclerdquo said John Barton TxDOTrsquos deputy executive director ldquoAlcohol slows your reaction time reduc-es your ability to properly gauge speed or distance from other objects and makes it difficult for you to focus on the road It takes less alcohol than you think so donrsquot take a chancerdquo
People tend to underes-timate their BAC when drinking alcohol accord-ing to a study by the Na-tional Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism As
a result they may think they are still OK to drive because they have only consumed a couple of drinks when in fact they may be impaired
TxDOT will be traveling in March to entertainment districts and college cam-puses throughout the state to remind motorists that ldquobuzzed driving is drunk drivingrdquo and to always line up a PASS ndash every week-end every season Events in the entertainment dis-tricts will conduct hands-on demonstrations that illustrate how consuming alcohol can impair onersquos ability to drive while at college campuses stu-dents will see what itrsquos like behind bars through an interactive backdrop dis-play Students will be able to share their photos and encourage friends to plan ahead for a PASS For more information contact TxDOT Media Relations at MediaRelationstxdotgov or call 512-463-8700

Good news for the esti-mated one in five allergy sufferers who have pets There are ways you and your pet can live together The experts at the Amer-ican College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology suggest you
bull Keep your pet out of the bedroom You spend as much as a third of your time there Letting a dog or cat in increases your exposure to dander and the likelihood of allergic reaction
bull Bathe your pet frequent-ly Itrsquos not the hair shed by the dog or cat that causes you to suffer itrsquos the loose flakes of skin he deposits around the house Bathe your pet at least once a week and dry him as best you can to limit the ani-malrsquos shaking and stirring up more dander
bull Replace air filters reg-
ularly With a pet in the house you should replace the filter in your forced-air heating and cooling sys-tem at least once a month A high-quality pleated filter offers more surface area to capture more dan-der than a flat-surface fil-ter
bull Clean your house fre-quently Doctors recom-mend frequent vacuum-ing of both hard-surface and carpeted floors heav-ily upholstered furniture and draperies
bull Consider a central vac-
uum system These offer the most cleaning power available to remove 100 percent of captured dan-der from the living area without stirring up dust
Reducing exposure through environmental controls however may not be sufficient for some allergic patients You may need an over-the-counter or prescription medica-tion to live comfortably with your pet Ask your physician about the ap-propriate treatment for you
