Nutrition Site News
By Evelyn Bolton,
Site Manager
Continuing Education. That’s
what Life is, right? One never
goes through life without affect-
ing others; likewise, others af-
fect each of us. In our
“roundtable discussions” at the
Nutrition Site, we learn, and we
teach. There’s something about
eating together that promotes
feelings of belonging, well-be-
ing, self worth and above all, re-
spect for one another. Evelyn
Cave, one of my friends who
joins us almost daily at the nu-
trition site, should be dubbed
Heloise #3; she is chock full of
information. She dishes out
useable tips; for instance, to
make saran wrap easier to use,
put it in the refrigerator for five
minutes. Eat potatoes to help
combat high blood pressure -
and, I believe she could give you
a hundred uses for vinegar. My
trouble is, I never remember
what I hear. I believe it’s called
“old-timers.” I told John Latin I
would not add salt to my food;
it always bothered him that I
shake salt so freely, when I have
high blood pressure. It was very
hard to eat tomatoes without
salt, so instead, I sprinkled a little
sweetener on them. Oh yes, I
did not use extra salt when I ate
at home. One thing that really
frustrates me -1 always get
food on my blouse nowa-
days. My arm and my hand
carry food in the same way
to my mouth, as they have
done for lots of years, but for
some reason, there must be
a short somewhere! One
thing about it, I don’t need to
feel uncomfortable at the
Nutrition Site - nearly every-
one does the same thing.
C.R. Nunley was back with
us Thursday; the church
group had to leave Mexico
earlier than planned, due to
the severe weather. Remem-
ber, he will be presenting a
puppet show, a ventroliquist
act, on Thursday, July 31 at
10:30. Come and join us for
this performance. We’re at
Timpson Housing Office, in
the Community Room. I
asked today who was the
best dominoes - 42 - player,
and I was informed that Dell
Franklin and Juanita Bush
won every game but one.
That should tell you some-
thing! I played checkers for
the first time in years last
week. I was really green,
didn’t even remember about
kings. We all enjoyed the
delicious chocolate cake last
Thursday. Thanks, Evelyn C.
By special request, she is mak-
ing a big peach cobbler for to-
morrow. Someone else is
bringing Bluebell ice cream.
The cooks in Center make the
best cornbread! Really great.
Today, we were served
cornbread with stew, green
salad, and applesauce. A very
good meal. We also enjoyed
sliced tomatoes and cucumber
salad. Thanks for everyone
who worked so hard to make
Frontier Days a success. My
granddaughters and their boys
walked around some with
Beulah and me, but it was so
very hot! I did ride the merry-
go-round. Wouldn’t let me get
on the horses, had to sit on a
bench. Don’t know if it was
my age, my size, or my
crippled foot that caused this
refusal. Fun,any way. Saturday
morning, there was a cookout
and water party celebrating
my great grandson, Jacob
Beasley’s first birthday. Par-
ents Bryan and Elizabeth
Beasley, with grandparents
Grady and Margaret Beasley,
hosted this special occasion.
Great grandmother Janie B.
and I share the same handi-
cap - neither of us can pick
2003-2004 Dress Code for Timpson ISD
Timpson ISD has set the
dress code for 2003-2004. Dur-
ing a prior school board meet-
ing, High School Principal
Calvin Smith had indicated that
after reviewing by the commit-
tee members, some changes
had been included in the policy.
DRESS AND GROOM-
ING:
The District's dress code is
established to teach proper
grooming and hygiene, teach re-
sponsibility, prevent disruption,
avoid safety hazards and to pro-
mote pride in one's personal ap-
pearance. Students shall be
dressed and groomed in a man-
ner that is clean and neat and
that will not be a health hazard
to themselves or others. The
District prohibits any clothing or
grooming that may reasonable
be expected to cause di srupti on
or interference with normal
school operations. The follow-
ing are guidelines that students
are expected to follow. The
guidelines are not all-inclusive
and may be adjusted as needed.
Teachers and faculty will re-
port dress code violations as
a discipline referral during
the first period class, although
dress code violations may be
reported at any time of the
school day. Any question re-
garding attire may be re-
viewed by a dress code com-
mittee consisting of teachers
and the campus principal.
The decision as to the appro-
priateness rests with the cam-
pus principal and is final. The
dress code applies to all
grade levels.
If the principal determines
that a student's dress or groom-
ing violates the dress code, the
student shall be provided with
clothing from the nurse's office
to correct the problem. If the
problem continues, parents will
be called.
•All students are expected to
be neat, clean, and well
groomed.
•Clothing imprinted with ob-
scene, vulgar or offensive slo-
gans is not permitted. Messages
depicting drug, alcohol, or to-
bacco products are prohibited.
•Earrings are not appropri-
ate at any grade level for boys.
Nose, eye, body rings, etc.
are inappropriate at any time.
Hoop earrings are inappropri-
ate for elementary students.
•Hats, caps, do rags, ban-
danas, other headwear, or
sunglasses are not to be worn
at school at any time.
•Some items considered
to be inappropriate for school
wear are tank or tube tops
(worn with or without an
overshirt), muscle shirts,
middriff or backless shirts,
see-through garments, sag
trousers and spaghetti-
strapped shirts, blouses, or
dresses.
•These items are inappro-
priate: Boxer shorts, athletic
shorts (wind shorts, biker
shorts) and tight leggings
(Lycra Spandex).
•House shoes are inap-
propriate. Shoes should be
worn at all times. Students
should not walk anywhere in
the building without shoes on
their feet.
•Sleeveless shirts, dresses
or blouses that expose under-
garments or are overly re-
vealing may not be worn.
Sleeveless sweater vests
must be worn only over a full
shirt. Low cut shirts,
dresses, or blouses that are
overly revealing may not be
worn.
•Shirts or tops that are not
worn tucked in should over-
lap the top of the pants so that
no skin is visible either from
the front or from the back,
both in a standing position
and a sitting position in a desk
or chair. The students should
not have to constantly have
to pull top down, in front or
in back, to cover skin. Par-
ents should have the student
model the outfit standing and
sitting to ensure compliance.
•Low riding pants that dip
down in the back when the
student is seated, exposing
underwear or any part of the
buttocks is inappropriate. Pay
close attention to any pants
that gap or don't fit well as
these may also expose un-
derwear or skin. Pants
should be worn with a belt if
one is needed to keep the
pants on the waistline. No sag-
ging is permitted.
•Clothing worn to school
should meet the dress code at
all times. Therefore wearing
a jacket, sweater, or overshirt
over illegal clothing is unac-
ceptable. Students will be
asked to remove jackets,
sweaters, or overshirts to de-
termine whether the top worn
underneath is within dress
code guidelines.
•No sleep wear of any kind
may be worn to school or at
any related school activity. If
it looks like sleep wear, it will
be considered sleep wear, no
matter what part of the store
it was located. Sleep wear
is considered inappropriate
attire for school.
•Starting with Pre-Kinder-
garten, shorts and skirts are
to be no more than 6 inches
above the bend of the knee.
Skirts for high school students
are to be no more than 3
inches above the bend of the
knee. High school girls are
encouraged to wear Capri
length pants rather than
shorts, since it is so difficult
for them to find shorts that
meet the dress code.
•Proper undergarments
are to be worn at all times.

Heaviness
In Your Chest?
Feel like you have bricks on your chest? You may be
experiencing the effects of coronary artery disease -
the most common heart ailment. But thanks to exciting
advances in diagnosis and treatment, controlling and
preventing the potentially serious consequences of this
disease are excellent. In fact, diagnostic imaging
systems allow cardiologists like Dr. Stephen Young to
see into the heart and blood vessels to determine the
source of a problem. If you feel like you have bricks on
your chest, call The Heart Doctor Imaging Center at
936/564-2828. Young... at heart.
