Power deregulation is coming to Texas on January 1st. 2002
Containers have seen the mixed results of deregulation in other
states and some are understandably worried.
But member* of electric co-ops don’t have to worry. The law w as
written with the special circumstances of co-ops in mind. Co-ops
were founded to deliver power to people and communities, ru>t to
deliver profits to Wall Street investors.
The new law grants co-ops the freedom to continue d<*ing what's
best for their member/customers. Theyll still deliver top service at
competitive rates, and they'll be on the lookout h>r new opportuni-
ties to improve both
And when co-op members have a problem, rhey don't have to call
some distant corpivation. G»-ops are staffed and serviced bv people
who live in the communirics they serve.
All in all. it’s a gtxxl time to be a co-op member. For more intor-
mation go to www.texas-ec.org, or call viwr hx;al co-op.

OUTDOORS
Christmas Gifts For The Sportsman
Finding the perfect Christmas gift
for the outdoorsmen can be difficult,
especially for the person that seems
to have everything. As one _
of those guys that have lots
of “outdoor toys" it is diffi-
cult for me to come up with
something that I would re-
ally like But each year my
wife and kids ask, “What do
you want for Christmas?”
I would like to answer
the question with simple
answer such as, “a trip to
Africa would be nice, or how about
a week long fishing trip to Alaska?”
“No, I would really like to go to South
America for a wing shooting vaca
tion...” But like all outdoorsmen I
keep those thoughts to myself and
respond with the usual “anything
you get me will be great."
I am lucky that my family knows that
a necktie would be a waste with me. Only
if I were going to see a banker or lawyer
would you catch me with the noose
around my neck Besides, what serious
outdoorsmen would want a tie?
For the last several weeks I have
received numerous calls from
friends wives asking me to suggest
Christmas gifts for their husbands.
It seems like each of these women
have no idea what to buy.
After thinking over this age old
problem, I have come up with a few
“must have" suggestions. Much to
my surprise, each person I have
mentioned them to agreed. One per-
fect fit could be a membership in a
conservation organization. There
are numerous conservation groups
that need membership. Some that I
belong to are the Coastal Conserva-
tion Association, National Wild T\irkey
Federation, Ducks Unlimited, and

Lady Cubs Take 2nd In Frost Tourney
FROST — The Lady Cub varsity
went 2-1 last weekend to take sec-
ond-place honors in the Frost
Lady Bears Tournament. Seniors
Rosilyn Hall and Nicole
Meinkowsky were named to the
All-Tournament Team.
Clifton opened play by taking
apart Itasca, 81-20.
“The Lady Cubs shot out of a
cannon and played their best ball
game of the year,” said Lady Cub
Head Coach Andy Bell. “The Lady
Cubs were led by senior Hall, the
sharpshooting of senior
Meinkowsky, and wonderful open
floor lay by sophomore Amber
Hoffman.”

The Rocky Mountain Elk foundation.
As a member of these organiza-
tions you help support wildlife and
or fishery management.
Furthermore, it is abso-
lutely critical to the future of
the outdoors to help properly
manage our resources in or-
der for future generations to
enjoy what we do. Another
idea is a lifetime hunting and
fishing license that can be
purchased from Texas Parks
& Wildlife.
The other “must have” gift is a
membership to the National Rifle
Association. It is the perfect gift for
anyone (regardless of age or sex)
that enjoys shooting firearms and
hunting. It is surprising to learn how
many folks there are that are gun
owners and are not members of the
NRA.
Giving a membership to any of the
above organizations is money well
spent. Included with most member-
ships are subscriptions to maga
zines that inform exactly what is
being done for its members. If you
would like to give such a member-
ship you can log on to our website
to find out who to contact.
Memberships are inexpensive and
easy to give. It is a gilt that your loved
one will enjoy all year long. More impor
tantly, it will serai a message that you
care about their love of the outdoors and
that you support their involvement.

Monday evening at the high school
gym. Sophomore Ashley Horst-
man led all scorers for Clifton with
13 points.
“The Lady Cubs finally got
home, and it was great to be
there,” said Lady Cubs Head
Coach Andy Bell. ‘The Lady Cubs
led from wire to wire.” Horstman
had a good night, adding seven
rebounds to her 13 points.
“Kali Honea continues to do all
the little things right — steals, re-
bounds — and seems to always be
in the right spot at the right time.
The group of Hona Outlaw, Sarah
Musselman, Ashley Amundson,
Honea, and Hali Henderson
brought much energy to the floor,”
said the coach.
In addition to Horstman’s 13,

Several Junior Golf Holiday
Camps Planned In Dallas Area
DALLAS — Boys and girls ages
seven to 17 are invited to participate
in an exciting series of Nike Junior
Holiday Golf Camps at seven Dallas
Area Nike Golf Learning Centers.
The half-day and two -day camps will
be held at a variety of locations.
The Holiday Camps are open to
juniors of all skill levels at a cost of
$149 per student, and include two
days of instruction in golf funda-
mentals such as full swing, putting
and chipping - as well as golf rules
and etiquette, scoring, how to re-
serve a tee time, and other impor-
tant “transition to play” elements.
Also included for each student are
lunch each day; a Nike Golf cap; a
Nike Junior Golf Camp workbook;
and on-course instruction. Half-day
oamps are Monday through Friday
with three hours of instruction per
day and are offered as low as $195.
The camps are said to offer a fresh
new approach to conventional instate
tion by combining traditional golf fun
damentals with instruction in such
practical areas as golf jargon and ter
minology, proper etiquette, pace of play,
how to operate a golf cart, how to re-
serve a tee time, and how to transition
from the practice range environment to
actually playing the course.
For more information on the
camps, call toll-free 1-877-312-4653 or

Game two was a 76-47 win over
district rival Italy.
“We put together another strong
offensive performance behind the
play of Hall, who had an unbeliev-
ably sound ball game,” said the
coach. Hall was 10-of-18 from the
field. 8-of-15 from the foul line, and
collected 10 rebounds, eight steals,
and 28 points.
Hoffman led all scorers with 12
points and again turned in a “very
solid ball game," Bell said. “Hah
Henderson. Hall, and Meinkowsky
all played well.” Meinkowsky had
to sit out most of the third and
fourth quarters with foul trouble

Kristen Moore was high scorer
with 10 points. Others scoring in
eluded Meredith Strickland (9),
Niecey folton (6), Alex Janss (7),
Megan Morris (4), Julie Miller (2),
and Beatrice Hernandez (2).
At the Marlin Tournament last
weekend, the Lady Cub JV opened
with a 50-33 win over University,
then lost to Cameron, 44-28. They
came back to defeat Marlin, 42-29,
then lost to Crockett in the 4th-
place game, 41-40.
“In the University and Marlin
games, we had balanced scoring
from everyone. Cameron was a
much taller and bigger team that
just wore us down. Against
Crockett, we made some defen-
sive errors that put us down late,
but the girls rallied back, but
came up short,” said Coach
Brigham.
In Clifton Monday, the girls re-
bounded for a 29-19 win over the
Frost junior varsity. Strickland was
high scorer with nine, followed by
six from Cari Evans and folton,
three by Moore, and two from

“We have had to combine our JV
and freshmen teams due to inju-
ries, and this was their first game
together. I thought for the most
part the girls played well. We
needed to add a little zip to our
game—we just weren’t crisp,” the
coach concluded.
