PAGE SIXTEEN-THE CHEROKEEAN OF RUSK. TEXAS, THURSDAY, APRIL 23,1M1
B
Rusk Has 4
'Gifted'Kids
s
There are at least four
"gifted" children In Rusk.
How do we know that?
Well, four young Rusk
residents came by our of-
fice last week after atten-
ding "Fabulous Friday,"
an enrichment program for
gifted children, in
Nacogdoches.
The program, sponsored
by Stephen F. ' ustin State
University, brought fourth
and fifth grade students
from all over East Texas to
the SFA Campus. Of the 107
total students participating
in the program, four were
from Rusk. They were fifth
graders Brent Byers and
Stephanie Adams and sixth
graders Sally Boyette and
Don Littlejohn.
There were seven
sessions focusing on dif-
ferent academic areas.
Brent and Sally attended
one entitled "What Would
You Do With a Million
Dollars?" Dr. Chester
Allen, associate professor
of economics and finance,
coordinated the session
which was a simulated
business environment com-
plete with bankers, stock-
brokers, employees and
customers.
Stephanie participated in
"What's Cooking? From
Neanderthal to Buck
Rogers." Dr. Sue Jones,
professor of home
economics, presented the
session. Foods of the past
and future were discussed
and the children visited the
animal nutrition
laboratory.
Don attended a course on
"Personal Computing"
taught by Dr. Jasper
Adams, professor of
mathematics and
statistics. The student
examined the applications
of micro-electronics and
computers and tested their
personal skills against the
computer with various
computer games.
Maydelle ISD
Rated 'Sound'!
Maydelle's schools got a
rating of "sound" from the
Texas Education Agency
recently following an ac-
creditation visit April 2.
Team members Carl
Defibaugh, chairperson,
and Dale Carmichael said,
in a written report, that "a
sound instructional
program was evident by
the achievement test TABS
results for the 9th grade."
The report was submitted
to the Texas Education
Agency the state
organization responsible
for accreditation of
schools.
Maydelle was commen-
ded for subscribing to the
Texas Association of
School Boards policy ser-
vices; for presenting in-
formation in the teacher's
and student's handbooks
clearly and completely; for
developing the scope and
sequence program and the
objectives in the reading
program; and for its lear-
ning resource (library)
program.
Weaknesses found by the
team in monitoring
Maydelle included not
noting the specific class
course name on the
student's record; and cer-
tain facilities, including the
gym and kindergarten,
which need renovation or
expansion.

to do about it.
Every dcry. people in Texas ask us to deliver

To change that, we've been requesting intra'

Can't people use other carriers lor their Texas

For thousands ot Texans. not being able to

The Texas Legislature is now discussing a
bill which would clarify the authonty ot the
Texas Railroad Commission (the agency that
regulates transportation matters) to consider
requests such as ours to provide service to and

We think this bill would be a step torward.

be sold in the downtown area. Antique
sellers will be allowed to set up
displays and tables in front of the
various Rusk businesses.
Many of the local merchants will
feature sidewalk sales in addition to
the antique sales. Prices of sale Items
will bear the numbers 134. Some will
sell items for $1.34 others $13.40 and
still others for $134.
The month has already witnessed
many events of tribute to the founding
of Rusk. Service and civic clubs have
focused on programs of a heritage
theme; the Rusk Garden Club
distributed small plants around the
square with members dressed in
period clothing of the 1800's; a
**COUNCIL...from p. 1
Clayton, who has formerly served
as chairman of the Chamber of Com-
merce housing committee said
"housing was a problem when he
came to Rusk 28 years ago and
housing is still a problem." He
referred to working with the Sabine
Valley Authority in bringing an apar-
tment complex to Rusk. The complex
has been enlarged from its beginning
and has always stayed full, Clayton
said.
Williams, who is personnel director
for Rusk State Hospital, discussed
lack of housing for hospital em-
ployees. "One of the big drawbacks in
getting people to come to work at the
hospital is lack of housing," he said.
Many of the hospital professional
people live outside of Rusk because
adequate housing is not available.
They take their salaries and live in
Jacksonville, Nacogdoches, etc. They
don't feel a part of Rusk, when they
live somewhere else, he said.
The hospital can't provide housing
for all its doctors. Then there are
other profesional people who need
housing. Around 170 persons at the
hospital voiced an opinion that they
would be candidates for the luxury
apartments if built, according to
Williams.
While in joint session, members of
the Planning and Zoning Commission
voted to recommend that the city
council begin action to get the area re-
zoned as residential one-family.
After the Planning and Zoning
Commission adjourned, Councilman
Danny Berry made a motion that the
council authorize the signing of the
resolution to allow the Urban
Developers, Inc. to seek the rent sub-
sidized funding for the complex.
Councilman Jim Thompson said he
thought the council should not vote on
the matter unless they had a full
council. Councilman Ernest Singleton
had been called out of the meeting
earlier and did not return.
Mayor James Fisher deemed the
motion dead for lack of a second.
Councilman Ken Peloquin asked
that the matter be acted upon at a
time no later than Tuesday, April 28
and that Mrs. Lankford be notified
that the matter was to come up.
In other action to come before the
council, members approved a 300 per-
cent increase in parking meter fines.
Overparking violators will be fined $1
rather than the former 25 cents The
$1 will be increased to $2 after 24
hours. Excessive overparking will be
increased from $1 to $3. Double
parking fine will be $7.50; parking in a
Writer's Club has been organized and
a Golf Tournament was held.
The Chamber merchants division
plans the event to be a regular April
affair. Celebrations have been going
on through the month and next year
promises to be even bigger and better,
Fred Gaines, chairman of the mer-
chants division says.
problem zone, $7.50 and by a fire
hydrant $10. The new fines go into ef-
fect immediately, according to City
Manager Cindy Evans.
In another matter, the council em-
poyed Bill Carroll, timber consultant
from Center. Carroll will work with
the city in marking timber, controlled
burning and assistance in asking for
bids for the sale of the timber on a 294-
acre tract owned by the city. Carroll's
fee will be 10 percent of the gross sale
of the timber, which has been
estimated at some $350,000.
In another matter, the council ap-
proved a bid from Moore and Sons of
Garrison in the amount of $6,450 for
rehabilitation of a dwelling and
another bid for $13,495 from Holcomb
Construction Co. of Rusk for construc-
tion of an 800-square foot dwelling.
Both projects are located in the target
area for a city Community Develop-
ment Block Grant.
In another matter, the council
passed on hearing information con-
cerning the city's participation in a
Mud Creek Water project through the
Angelina-Neches River Authority.
Mayor Fisher said figures for cost to
the city in securing water rights for
the project were not available for the
meeting. The council is to meet later
to discuss the project.
♦R'ABOUT from p.l
her memories of a
beautiful dinner of ap-
preciation hosted by her
children. Many of us have
our own, and other, reasons
for putting this special time
down as something to
remember.
During the week ahead
you will obviously make
more memories! May they
all be happy! Until next
week?
