Why I Am Proud of America
By Shea Sellers
(Editor's Note: This is the third place winning entry in the local Voice of
Democracy Contest.)
Freedom. A word that states why every American should be proud of
America. Of the hundreds of countries across the world, I do not know of one
that offers as much as America.
How is America blessed with so much freedom? Freedom is not actually
free. It has to be earned and re-earned. Millions of our country's young men
have risked their lives, even sacrificed their lives, so Americans can have the
freedoms they enjoy today. If not for the sacrifices of our brave men in uniform,
we could not be the democratic, idealistic country that we are today.
Our country originated from a ragged, impoverished, freedom-loving group
of settlers. Eventually they overcame many obstacles to create a unique
document for our country. Eventually the Declaration of Independence speci-
fied that man was endowed with "certain inalienable rights" including "life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Upon the eve of this historic document,
the white male was the only person who truly had personal and economic
freedom. Since that time, America has changed to show the rest of the world
what freedom really is. We abolished slavery. We then began to recognize
women, giving them voting rights, and accepting them into schools of higher
learning. Slowly blacks freed themselves from the doctrine of "separate but
equal", and along with other minorities, they have fought for and won the right
to an equal chance in life. Our acceptance of women and minorities into high-
ranking positions in our government was only other truly democratic commod-
ity we could offer.
Besides having a unique history, my country gives me numerous other
reasons to be proud. America has made many technological discoveries. In the
1800's we invented new methods of building bridges and skyscrapers. Our
cities soon towered at unbelievable heights above others. Inventors like
Thomas Edison brought numerous items that are useful and entertaining, such
as telephones, record players, and light bulbs, into every American household.
On through the twentieth century we achieved impressive advances in
science and medicine. Moreover, our aerospace industry has produced spec-
tacular results: we were the first country to send men to the moon and we are
currently probing the outer planets. I am proud to live in a country that gives
its citizens enough intellectual freedom to achieve these amazing feats.
Another reason I am proud of America is the availability of goods. A large
percentage of the world's population is, at best, suffering from an insufficient
diet; many are starving to death. Starvation is very rare in America, thanks to
the generosity of individuals and to government programs. In numerous
countries, if a person were to walk into a store, he would find many of the
shelves empty. He might not be able to find things Americans can buy at any
convenience store anywhere any time of the year. We do not have to worry
about whether there will be food in the local stores every time we buy groceries;
we do not have to stand in line an hour to buy a bar of soap. We often take for
granted our common household items, such as radios, televisions, and VCRs-
-luxury items for the very rich in numerous other countries. We do not have to
wait five years to buy a refrigerator as many communist-bloc citizens must.
America has a very well-designed, democratic form of government. With
our system of government we can elect the officials that we desire. We are
entitled to many rights, such as freedom of speech and of press. We can protest
any issue that we wish. In many countries protesting against the government is
a crime punishable by death, as evidenced by the recent murders of hundreds
of freedom-loving Chinese students at Tianenman Square in Beijing.
There are many reasons 1 am proud of America, but to me, freedom is most
important of all. Let us not forget the sacrifices hundreds of thousands have
made. Let us not take our rights for granted. Let us keep our flag, our symbol
of freedom, our symbol of America, waving high.

West area students
make Tarleton
honor roll list
attending for the nice gifts.
STEPHENVILLE - Several West
area students were named to the A and
B Honor Roll and distinguished Stu-
dent list for the Fall 1989 semester at
Tarleton State University. Dr. Robert
C. Fain, Vice President of Academic
Affairs at the University, released the
names of students honored during
winter term. Included on the list were
20S students makeing the A Honor
Roll and 823 making the B Honor
Roll. There were 812 Distinguished
Students named.
Those from West making the lists
were: Catherine M. Mynarcik B, D;
Teresa A. Mynarcik B, D; Glen W.
Vigus B, D; and Lee A. Boom B.
From Aquilla were Jimmie Sue
Whalen B, D and Earnest Trotter, B.
Students listed on the A Honor
Roll must have a 4.0 grade point ra-
tion (GPF.) on the 4.0 system and be
taking a minimum of 12 hours. Stu-
dents on the B Honor Roll must have
a grade point ratio between 3.00 and
3.99 with no grade lower than B and
taking a minimum of 12 hours.

with no grade lower than C, and junior
and seniors who have a minimum
GPR of 3.50 with no grade lower than

The generous rains of February brought some run off and muddy waters to
Lakes Aquilla and Whitney. The rivers and creeks were hit the hardest and the
waters range from off color to muddy. The "main" lake areas remain fairly clear
and fishable. The water levels on both lakes rose but not to flood proportions.
Whitney is nearing its normal elevation of533' MSL and Aquillais a few inches
above its norm. Both lakes are clearing rapidly and if we miss the flood rains
this week, both should be in good shape by the weekend.
Striper fishing on Whitney remains the most productive of all species and
limits are common and some days, easy to come by. Real early in the morning
and that last hour of daylight before sundown are by far the most productive
times. Where these fish take off to during the middle of the day is beyond me
and several of our guides have been unable to find them during this time. Half
ounce jigs with a worm trailer are catching more fish than live baits right now
and it is a fun way to fish for the battlers. That area of the lake from the island
at Walling Bend, Big Rocky and Little Rocky and the rocks around Soldiers
Bluff and the dam is really congregating the fish, late in the afternoon. Most of
these fish can be reached from the banks as well as by boat. There are a few fish
in that area that will not make the 18” minimum length limit, but they are
holding together pretty well and the "keeper" fish out number them 10-1. The
daily bag limit for Stripers and Hybrid Striped bass is 5 in the aggregate. That
is not more than five fish total. When the fish school up like they are now, we
always have a few "meat hogs" that want to get as many as they can carry out
Some reports have come in about fishermen taking a five fish limit and then
carrying them to ice boxes on the shore and returning for another limit. Not only
is this illegal and can be very costly, it is unethical and unsportsman like. The
daily bag limits are set so that there will be fish for everyone to enjoy and
conserve the resource. That jerk that wants to get em all, before the greedy
devils find them, is stealing from everyone that enjoys the sport.
Black Bass and Smallmouth Bass fishing was unexpectedly good after the
rains. The offcolor water didn't stop the West Sports Anglers Club nor the Lake
Whitney Bass Club from pursuing their favorite fish, and with surprising
success. Fishing for the West Sports Anglers, Dennis Urbanovsky took three
Bass that totaled seven pounds and 15 ounces. Roy Hutyra had the biggest fish;
a five pound five ounce Black. Doug Cannon came in with a fine four pound
eight ounce Smallmouth. Fishing for the Lake Whitney Bass Club, Kwen Karr
came in with three fish that totaled eight pounds and ten ounces and had a fine
Black that went five pounds eight ounces. Bob Parkins had three fish that
totaled seven pounds twelve ounces and Ed Brooks had two fish for five pounds
nine ounces. David Everett Sr. had a good four pound seven ounce Black. These
fish were taken on a variety of lures and from different areas of the lake. Grubs
and worms fished real slow around where the muddy water met the clear water
accounted for most of the fish. The fish were released back into the waters of
Lake Whitney. Pete Tindcll of Lorena and Darrell Ncwmann just went "Bassin"
Sunday and Pete came in with a six pound four ounce Smallmouth that should
put him in the top ten of big Smallmouths taken in Texas. Darrell had a four
pound eight ounce "Brownie". Both fish were taken on crawfish colored crank
baits and the only area that they would disclose was that "it came from south
of Bee Bluff'. After having the big fish weighed on certified scales at Bonanza,
they were both released back into Lake Whitney.
Crappie fishing got hit the hardest by the rising waters. Good fish were still
common, but the action slowed from previous weeks. Cedar Creek got real
muddy and the fishing slowed down around Juniper Cove but some of our
"regulars" managed to take a few quality fish. Those little "toots" that won't
quite make the 10" minimum length limit showed up again and the fishermen
were having to release almost half of their catches. Limits of 25 fish were
unheard of, though several came close down in the Big Rocky and Little Rocky
areas. The River and Creeks are "settling out” and the action should pick up by
the weekend.
Sand Bass fishing remains the mystery on Whitney. Still there is no
indication of any substantial run up the Brazos or the Nolan. A few good sandies
were taken by the striper fishermen down in Little Rocky and Big Rocky, but
overall the action has been poor.
With all the Stripers that are being taken, let me pass on a recipe that Don
Bohne gave me for Stripers. Filet the fish and take all the red meat off the fish.
In a baking dish (I used a 10" x 16" metal pan), place "pats" of butter on the
bottom. Place the filets over the butter, add seasoning with a little soy sauce for
about 30 minutes prior to baking. I substituted Terriyaki sauce. Just before
baking, sprinkle with lemon pepper to taste. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place the dish in the oven for 15 minutes and then take them out and put them
under the broiler for ten more minutes. Striper ala Bohne. It's great. Kid has
been accusing me of trying to turn him into a fish by serving them every night,
so we began to experiment with variations. One of the best is to follow the above
recipe and after removing from the broiler, sprinkle grated cheese over the
entire concoction and put them back in the oven for just a couple of minutes or
until thecheese melts good. Don’tputthecheese on during the "broiler" process
or you will get a blackened looking fish that the bird dogs won't even touch.
Until next week,
Good fishing and safe boating
