An update at Lion Stadium is shown in this artist’s rendering and is part of plans being considered by Henderson
Independent School District trustees. Renovations at Henderson High School and Northside Intermediate could
start as soon as this summer. Drawings shown Wednesday are considered preliminary.
PostSCRIPT
I get why President Obama
doesn’t issue a blanket state-
ment proclaiming all of
Islam radical. It’s not a good
idea, and it’s not true any-
way. The arithmetic, though,
is tough to overcome. There
are approximately 1.6 billion
Muslims in the world. If just
one half of one percent want
to wage war against us, that’s
an 8 million-man army.

WASHINGTON - President
Barack Obama’s top econo-
mists say that even as the U.S.
has managed to kick start a
lasting and growing recovery,
modest wage gains are far from
making up for decades of pay-
check stagnation for middle-
class workers.
The White House, in its
annual report to Congress, also
warns that despite the U.S. rel-
ative economic strength, slow-
downs abroad still pose dan-
gers at home.
The 400-page “Economic
Report of the President” is a
largely bullish portrayal of the
