area to be near her chil-

Always happy, Andrea

growing roses or just being
outdoors. She enjoyed
going out to eat, working
her crosswords or working
a search-a-word puzzle.
Andrea was devoted in
her faith. Her family would
enjoy special trips to San
Juan, Texas where she
would visit and attend serv-
ices at the Shrine of La Vir-
gen De San Juan Del Valle.
Her survivors include
her children, Cleto J. Gar-
cia Jr. and his spouse Car-
men, Andrea Paredes and
her spouse Chris; 9 grand-

1927 - 2012
itation with the family was
held Monday, December
10, from 5-7 p.m., at No-
bles Funeral Chapel with a
reciting of the Rosary at 7
p.m. A funeral mass was
celebrated Tuesday, at 10
a.m., at Christ Our Light
Catholic Church with the
Rev. Rodolpho “Jo-Jo” L.
Cal-Ortiz and the Rev. Al-

Rite of committal followed
in Oakland Cemetery.
Arrangements were under
the direction of Nobles Fu-
neral Chapel.
Mary was born in
Stoneham, TX, on Decem-
ber 8,1927, the daughter of
Henry & Alice (Yorek)
Wisnoski. She and her hus-
band John owned and oper-
ated a motel. Mary was
liked by everyone she
knew. She did so much in
many special ways; in lov-
ing words of comfort; in
taking time to talk awhile;
in sharing other people’s
joys; and in helping when
she could. Her unique way
of giving love in every-
thing she did made her very
special.
Mrs. Orlando was pre-
ceded in death by her par-
ents and husband John
Orlando; brothers, Louis
“Buddy” Wisnoski and
John Wisnoski; and sisters,
Theresa Wisnoski and
Viola Kowis.
She is survived by her
sister Ann Wetuski of
Houston, several nieces
and nephews, and many
friends, especially close
friends, Max and Nancy
Parast.
Serving as pallbearers
were Roy Wisnoski, Robert
Wisnoski, Johnny Wis-
noski, Marvin Kowis,
Tommy Orlando, and Max
Parast. Honorary pallbear-
ers are Josh Wisnoski and
Danny Kowis.

4H,
continued from 4a
pleasure to meet Dr. Jill
Biden, the second Lady of
the United States of Amer-
ica; Mr. Tom Vilsack,
President of USDA; and
Congressman Bill Flores’
Legislative Aide. I was
also selected to be the
spokesperson at the Penta-
gon to present our “Veter-
ans and Military Families”
Round Table Presentation
in front of the Board of Di-
rectors.”
The two got to tour the
Martin Luther King Jr.
Monument; WWII Memo-
rials; President Lincoln
Monument; Korean War
Memorials; Holocaust
Museum; the White
House; and received a tour
the Capitol.
Woods said, “It was a
life-changing event. I met
so many people and en-
joyed touring Washington,
D.C.”
To continue the adven-
ture, Brooks was selected
to participate in the Texas
4-H Congress in Austin,
Texas the week of July 15-
18, where he served as the
Press Corps Staff for the
Texas 4-H Congress.
He said his responsibil-
ities “were to report the ac-
tions of the different areas
of the Texas 4-H Legisla-
tive in the daily newspa-
per. In addition to
preparing the daily news-
paper, I worked jointly
with the Technology Team
in getting information,
photographs, and updates
posted to the Texas 4-H
Congress website. I had
the pleasure of meeting
Governor Rick Perry and I
also wrote and submitted a
Legislative Bill to the
Congress.”
Lastly, the two teamed
up as 4-H delegates to rep-
resent Texas at the 2012
National 4-H Congress the
week of November 23-27,
in Atlanta, Ga. National 4-
H Congress is the flagship
event of the National 4-H
program. Each year a Na-
tional Design Team of Ex-
tension educators, 4-H
youth, and 4-H adult vol-
unteers analyze current
youth issues and determine
the most effective ways to
address them. The pro-
gram combines a variety
of fun and exciting educa-
tional, recreational and
networking opportunities.
The program combines
plenary sessions, seminars,
discussion groups, and a
service learning experi-
ence. The nation’s most
outstanding community
leaders, speakers, and edu-
cators present the most
current and timely infor-
mation available.
The objective of this
event is to improve the
ability of teen 4-H youth to
express themselves in
written and verbal forms
of communication that are
necessary and important
“life skills” for today and
in the future. It also strives
to increase the awareness
of the importance of Lead-
ership, Citizenship, and
Community Service in 4-
H Youth Development.
As part of their partici-
pation, Brooks and Woods
were assigned several
Community Service As-
signments. Brooks said
“one of my assignments
was at the Early Children’s
Center where I read story-
books to the toddlers.”
Woods had the opportunity
to do community service at
the Ivy Prep Academy
where he was assigned to a
little boy in the first grade.
He said he was “touched
by the little boy who
couldn’t talk well nor
color well. I helped him to
finish some of his work.”
Woods continued to say “I
was also the Texas flag
bearer. This trip has been
the highlight of my senior
year; I learned about dif-
ferent cultures and tasted
different foods. Attending
these National trips has re-
ally helped me in my daily
live.” The two attended
several workshops and
participated in team lead-
ership assignments.
While in Georgia,
Brooks and Woods also
took tours of the Turner
Baseball Stadium; Carter
Presidential Center; Head-

Dear Editor,
The following quote I
read in a Taylor Caldwell
book, “The Sound of
Thunder”. I have shared it
many times over the past
years and think because
the times we are living in
makes it a good time to
share it again.
A quote from Abraham
Lincoln, “You cannot
bring about prosperity by
discouraging thrift. You
cannot strengthen the
weak by weakening the
strong. You cannot help
the wage earner by pulling
down the wage payer. You
cannot further the brother-
hood of Man by encourag-
ing class hatred. You
cannot help the poor by
destroying the rich. You
cannot establish sound se-
curity on borrowed money.
You cannot keep out of
trouble by spending more
than you earn. You cannot
build character and
courage by taking away
man’s initiative and inde-
pendence. You cannot help
men permanently by doing
for them, what they could
and should do them-
selves.”

Black Friday fix
I went to a Black Friday
sale at Wal-Mart and got a
laptop computer. It took
from 10 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.
to get checked out and I
spent a day-and-a-half
reading the instructions.
Then I started to use the
computer. Well, folks, that
just didn’t work. That
Windows 8 is a nightmare
to work with and they say
that it takes a whole new
way of thinking. I don’t
care to think that way, so I
took it back and got a re-
fund.
Now later on I may
need a laptop, but I found
two ways that you can
solve the problem. If you
go to a place that has a lot
of laptops, they may have
one that is Windows 7
home premium. But if they
don’t, and you still need a
laptop, you can buy Win-
dows 7 home premium
and have them take out
Windows 8 and put Win-
dows 7 in.
It runs about $260, but
if you need a laptop that
you can use and leave 8 to
file thirteen, that’s at least
one way to do it, but try to
find one that has it already.
You may not save money
because the ones that are
likely to have it are in the
higher price range because
most people want to save
money.

Something To
Think About
GRANT E. HOLT
^ DIRECTOR'
PALLBEARERS
Mourning is a highly
personal matter, however,
some aspects of the
process are communal.
One way that friends and
family can participate in
the funeral ceremony - if
the casket is present is to
serve as pallbearers. You
can indicate the
individuals that you would
like to perform this honor.
You normally need to
select six pallbearers. The
funeral director will
explain to the pallbearers
what they need to do and
when. In addition to those
who actually carry the
casket, it is possible to
have honorary pallbearers
who accompany it.
If you do not use
friends or acquaintances
as pallbearers, it may be
necessary to hire
professional ones. The
funeral director can
arrange this service and
tell you what the charges
will be. In a few areas,
unions require the use of
paid pallbearers. In this
case, your only alternative
will be to designate
honorary pallbearers.
