Wrestlemania
‘The showstopper! The icon! The main event!’
Matt Dunn
I
By Matt Dunn
n my last bucket list, I traveled to Mount
Pleasant to watch extreme midget
wrestling. I explained how wrestling was
a big part of my childhood. One of my earliest memories is watching Wrestlemania for
the first time. It was the first of what we
now call pay per views. The main event was
Hulk Hogan v.s. Andre The Giant for The
World Wrestling Federation Championship.
I was so young that I do not remember much.
However, I do remember when Hulk Hogan
picked up the 8ft tall Andre The Giant and
body slammed him to the mat. The ring
shook like a 5.0 earthquake and Hulk Hogan
pinned Andre The Giant to win the championship. From that moment on I was hooked,
and I watched every wrestlemania thereafter
for the last 27 years. Wrestlemania is the
super bowl of professional wrestling and it
happens only once a year. Which makes it
that much more magical.
So when I found out that Wrestlemania
would be in Dallas, TX this year at AT&T
stadium, I was the over the moon. I purchased my ticket, reserved a hotel room and I
even bought a new wrestling t-shirt just for
the event. Wrestlemania weekend brought
over 100,000 wrestling fans to Dallas
including numerous events. I went to a live
podcast, a wrestling bar crawl, two small live
wrestlings events and WWE's Axxess which
is like comic con for WWE. Even when I sat
down to eat dinner every night, I was surround by wrestling fans excited to be in the
city, it was an experience! After a long weekend of every wrestling experience that you
could possibly have. It was time to head to
Arlington for the main event , WRESTLEMANIA!
It is truly hard to put into words what I
experienced at AT&T stadium on Sunday
April 3rd, but I will try. From the moment I
got close to the stadium I was surrounded
by wrestling fans. Fans who traveled from
all over the world to experience Wrestlemania. I talked to some, who travel every year
to Wrestlemania no matter the location. I
even met a father and son who had been to
the last thirteen wrestlemanias together. Fans
were chanting wrestling chants at the top
their lungs. Covered head to toe in wrestling
merchandise from their favorite professional
wrestler and there was not a sad face to be
seen.
I made my way to my seat and was blown
away by the magnitude of the event.
Wrestlemania was more than I ever expected
it to be. I made new friends, got see some
amazing stuff and I was part of something
that will never happen again, Wrestlemania
in Dallas, TX. This was something I had
wanted to experience since I was a child.
And I am happy to say, that I got to cross off
my bucket list.

Author Gene Shelton
rescheduled for Writers Guild
S
ilver
Leos
Writers
Guild
has
announcedthat author and member Gene
Shelton will present this month's program
at the May meeting on Wednesday, May 11.
Shelton was on the docket for the April meeting
but had to reschedule. Creatively embellishing
details to fit historical fiction will headline Shelton's discussion of “Details, Details.”
Shelton, a prolific author with 27 books and
countless articles to his credit, specializes in
Western historical fiction. His latest work is
titled, “Houston Madam” which recounts the
events in the life of Texas pioneer, Pamelia
Mann. And, yes, take the word “madam” to
mean exactly what you think it means! Shelton
has built a fictional story around Mann which is
peppered with historically accurate details, the
stuff that brings characters to life.
Set in the 1830s, the tale recounts the story of
the infamous Mann who was a pistol-packing
mama and was the only woman to successfully
confront Sam Houston in verbal combat and
win. Mann was the ultimate good “bad” girl
who ran a brothel, but when disease broke out
in Houston, threatening the nubile community,
she turned her bordello into a hospital, of
course! The story covers six of the most colorful years and characters in Texas history with all
the flourish and flavor of the time.
Shelton will share his inside scoop on where
to find those ever-so-important details to get
the story right and put it in its proper historical
context. He stipulates that it doesn't matter what
genre you're writing: romance, historical fiction, nonfiction, essays, science fiction, et al,
details matter. Accurate ones. Shelton feels very
strongly about the power of research to correctly flesh out a story. He says it's what brings a
story to life and gives it relevance. It's those
“minor details that show the writer's intent to
inform the reader what the times were like,” he
states. Shelton further tells us, “the broad brush
of research provides the framework of the story;
accuracy in details shape the characters who
tell their stories. By the time we've finished a
story, we should know more than we'll ever use
on the page.” If you don't get the historical
details right, you'll crash and burn by committing the writers' sin of anachronism.
An award-winning writer, Shelton retired in
2005 from his career as a newspaper journalist.
He grew up in the Texas Panhandle where, as a
young man, he worked as a ranch hand and a
horse trainer. His college degree from West
Texas State University (sister school to the former East Texas State University in Commerce,
now Texas A&M-Commerce) was in biology
and psychology. And what does any biologist/psychologist with a background in ranching
and horse training do for a living? Become a
journalist and write for newspapers across
Texas, of course! From Amarillo, to Dallas, to
Plano, to Sulphur Springs, to Tyler and
Longview, Shelton has both copy-edited and
written as a journalist spanning a 35-year history of his own.
Come hear Gene Shelton share his secrets for
successful authorship and getting the facts
straight when writing any genre.
Silver Leos Writers Guild meets on the second Wednesday of each month from 1 p.m. to 4
p.m. in the Alumni Center on the campus of
Texas A&M University-Commerce. Refreshments are served from 12:30 p.m. to 1 p.m. The
guild is a charter member of the Alumni Association at TAMU-C, but it is not necessary for
members to have attended the university. From
the novice to the experienced published author,
any writer 21 and up is welcome. The purpose
of the guild is to foster a sense of community
and encouragement among writers. Members
may submit original stories and pieces for
small-group assessment. Peer-editing and critiquing are vital aspects of the guild in order to
help writers hone and improve their craft in a
friendly, supportive atmosphere. Annual dues
are $20.

Geneological Society hears program from Carol Taylor
he Hopkins County Genealogical Society
met Thursday April 21, 2016 in the library at
611 North Davis St. President Ronny Glossup called the meeting to order at 7 p.m. President
Glossup welcomed members and guests to the
meeting. President Glossup asked everyone to read
over the minutes and the financial report. The
motion was made and seconded to approve the
minutes and financial report. The motion carried.
President Glossup made these announcements: 1.
DNA seminar on April 23 in Tyler; 2. Our society
has a Facebook page: Hopkins County Genealogy
Society Facebook page; 3. Thursday, April 28,
Paula Altenbaumer will be at the Heritage Park
portraying Mrs. Houston; 4. A moving sale in the
old library building on May 4-6; and 5. there is a
waiting list for reprint of the 1895 Book of Hopkins County History book.
John Sellers, programs vice president, introduced
our guest speaker Carol Taylor. Carol Taylor is
the former director of the Northeast Texas Genealogy Center located in Greenville. She is a chairman of the Hunt County Historical Commission
and has researched and written numerous historical
applications for Hunt County.
Carol fuses a love for history and genealogy into
her specialty: Merging Family History with Local
History. In her presentations, she combines “How
To” and interesting information about the times to
help beginning and intermediate family genealogists know where and how to look for unique
records for their research. Her primary topics
include WWI, the Civil War (both war and Reconstruction records), and the Republic of Texas. She
feels that understanding the context of the times
helps researchers have a better picture of who their
ancestors were.
Carol is co-author of “The Devil's Triangle: Ben
Bickerstaff, Northeast Texas, and the War of
Reconstruction.” She wrote Greenville for the
Images of America series published by Arcadia
Publishing. Her weekly column in the Greenville
Herald Banner, as well as a regular blog combines
local history with genealogy. She is a member of
APG, National Genealogical Society, Dallas
Genealogical Society, and Hopkins County
Genealogical Society. She has spoken to genealogical societies throughout North Texas and at the
Angelina College Genealogy Conference in
Lufkin.
Carol talked about how some of our ancestors
may have been involved in the New Deal under
President Roosevelt. President Roosevelt was elected in 1932. The CCC, Civilian Conservation Corp
was one of the most successful New Deal programs
of the Great Depression. Young men were between
the ages 18-25 were sent far away from home …
out of state maybe. The work of the CCC included
building the first state parks and there were other
interesting things such as tackling soil erosion. The
workers were paid minimal wages with a big portion going home to their families.
Also, Carol talked about the Public Works
Administration, part of the New Deal of 1933, was
a large-scale public works agency in the United
States headed by Secretary of the Interior Harold
Ickes. It built large-scale public works such as
dams, bridges, hospitals, and schools and even the
large auditorium in Greenville.
Of all of Roosevelt's New Deal programs, the
Works Progress Administration (WPA) is the most
famous, because it affected so many people's lives.
Roosevelt's vision of a work-relief program
employed more than 8.5 million people. For an
average salary of $41.57, WPA employees built
bridges, roads, public schools, public parks and
airports. They did plays and inventoried court
records. The WPA supported tens of thousands of
artists and their art work that decorated many
buildings. Many of these records of these work
programs are found in courthouses in the different
counties. Carol talked about other work programs
that our East Texas families might have been
involved with during this Era. Everyone enjoyed
Carol's speech very much.
There was a reminder that our next meeting will
be on Thursday, May 19, at 7 p.m. at 611 North
Davis St. Our speaker will be Mary Brooke Casad,
who is the author of the “Bluebonnet Armadillo
Adventure Series.” She will give an overview of
the series, the writing process and the Texas history that is incorporated into the stories. Additionally, there will be a book signing with 20 percent of
the proceeds from the books sold going to benefit
the Genealogical Research Library. These are
wonderful books and make excellent gifts.

BVD-PI calves -- Maintenance of Aerobic Units
MARIO A.
VILLARINO
Hopkins County
Extension Agent
Agriculture
and Natural Resources
Today, our communication system provide us
information even we do not necessarily make a
direct effort to get it.
As I was talking about the impact of this to the
staff at the Hopkins County extension office, we
came to the conclusion that this trend not only
will continue but will become the norm in how
we interpret our world and how we become
aware of the different happenings in it.
I personally do not have a problem learning of
important events in the world that I live on but I
certainly become “information overloaded”
quickly and finding the information that is not
necessarily “billboard” quality becomes complicated.
As I was reviewing my resources of information I found this piece published recently about a
cattle disease that has got some attention in the
beef industry and more important to me has
made significant progress in testing technologies and reduced implementation cost. The
source is the Texas Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory website and original post author and
source is indicated.
Prevent the creation of BVD-PI calves (April
28, 2016 by kbradley Posted from High Plains
Journal: Lubbock). Contrary to popular opinion,
BVD does not stand for bad veterinarian disease. It stands for bovine viral diarrhea, and it
can be very costly for cow-calf producers and
feedlot operators.
Speaking at the BVD Forum in Kansas City,
Missouri, April 7, Dan Grooms, a professor in
the College of Veterinary Science at Michigan
State University, said BVD can cost producers
$14 to $25 in decreased return per beef cow, and
feedlot owners can lose $41 to $93 per animal
exposed to BVD.
The morbidity rate for feedlot calves exposed
to persistently infected animals is almost double
the rate for non-PI exposed calves.
Derrell Peel, a professor at Oklahoma State
University Department of Agricultural Economics, said the economic impact of BVD is $20 to
$30 per beef cow, $45 to $55 per dairy cow and
$20 to $45 per stocker/feedlot animal.
The impact for the industry as whole is $1.54
to $2.59 billion. BVD is a viral infection of cattle that can mutate and change rapidly and have
adverse consequences.
Clinical outcomes related to BVD include
abortions, early embryonic death and congenital
defects. The disease can lead to persistently
infected animals, although many of these die at a
young age due to secondary infections.
Approximately 93 percent of calves that test
positive for BVD do not have a PI dam but a PI
cow will always give birth to a PI calf. “PIs are
lifetime shedders of BVD,” Grooms said. A PI
animal can look normal but is generally a poor
performer.
Peel said a lot of the loss may not even be
noticed by producers because PI calves that survive past weaning become someone else’s problem.
The challenges for effective BVD control
include failure to recognize the disease, failure to
recognize the costs associated with the disease,
little incentive to identify and remove PI animals from the herd, the cost of testing for the
disease, the nature of the disease and the impact
of BVD on other diseases. “You can’t see what
you are not looking for,” Peel said.
Dr. Dan Givens, a veterinarian at Kansas State
University’s College of Veterinary Science, said
most BVD-PI animals occur in the cow-calf seg-
ment of the industry.
There is no good way to test a calf for BVD
until it is on the ground. At this point the producer is only six months away from the selling
the animal and then it is halfway through the
production process.
Givens wondered if it reasonable to expect
one segment of the industry to shoulder all of the
costs for testing and control of this disease.
“BVD is one of the few diseases that is
easy to blame on someone else,” Givens said.
“It is estimated that 10 percent of herds in this
country will have a PI-infected animal. However,
a recent survey of producers with over 200 cows
said that while they had knowledge of the disease, they were not testing for it.”
Givens said the absence of evidence is not the
evidence of absence. There are over 150 different BVD vaccine combinations including modified live and killed vaccines but vaccines are a
tool and not a silver bullet. A producer can vaccinate a PI animal all he wants but it will still be
a PI, according to Givens.
Givens said producers should undertake prebreeding tests before bulls are turned in with the
cows. They should test calves on the ground,
bulls and all cattle without calves.
Pl-positive cows and calves should be
removed from the herd and be sold for slaughter.
“All of the tests can be done reliably if done
correctly,” Givens said.
Richard Kerr,
laboratory manager at Daisy Farms in Texas,
said his associates do intensive testing of all animals on the dairy. They found three BVD positive animals in 2014 but none since.
Brian Keith, a stocker and cow-calf operator
from Allen, Kansas, said he tests every calf that
comes off the truck.
Within 12 to 24 hours of arrival he knows
which calves are “hot.” Keith manages 10,000
acres of summer grass and all cows and bulls
are PI tested.
Darrell Busby, manager of the Tri-County
Steer Carcass Futurity in Iowa, collects ear
notches for samples. He said his associates
found three positives from three different animals and all three calves died.
Busby said they have had only one positive
animal they know of that made it to 1,000
pounds.
The key to controlling BVD is to prevent the
creation of PI calves, according to Bob Larson,
chair of Food Animal Production Medicine at
K-State’s College of Veterinary Medicine.
This means improving head immunity,
improving immunity of dams and keeping pregnant cows away from at risk cattle. As little as
one hour with a PI animal will transmit the virus
to susceptible cattle.
Homeowners Maintenance of Aerobic
Treatment Units scheduled for
May 16, 2016
In a collaborative effort with the Hopkins
County Environmental Office, a basic training

Children are better-behaved if they have some control
By Tina Briley Pease
CTA, writer
Have you ever stopped to consider that the opposite of being
in control is being out of control? Maybe a child who is often
described as being out of control
behaves that way because he
never learned how to be in control of his own life. He may feel
that he has no choices and that
life is just something that happens to him. He may not even
realize he has the power to influence and even change the direction of things. And whose fault is
that? Whose responsibility is it
to teach children the fine art of
self-control?
At home
Definitely as the first point of
contact, it should begin in the
home. Parents need to allow
even their toddlers to make
choices: “Do you want to wear
this or that?” “Do you want an
apple or a banana?” They are
defined choices. Limited choices. But the child is learning how
to make a decision for himself.
At the same time, don’t present an option that is not truly an
option. In other words, don’t ask
your child if he is ready for bed
if “no” is not an acceptable
response. If your child says he’s
not ready for bed and you make
him go anyway, you have taught
him that his response is irrelevant and he really has no control
over what happens to him. Perhaps a better question might be,
“It’s time for bed. Do you want
to wear your Spiderman or your
Superman pajamas?”
Of course, as your child grows
and matures, the degree of his
choices will naturally change.
After all, our goal is to raise
responsible adults who are capable of making rational choices.
However, they don’t just wake
up one morning fully equipped
to discern for themselves and
make right judgments. It is a
preparation process that takes
their entire childhood. We, as
adults, have the responsibility to
train our children by gradually
giving them more options and
ultimately relinquishing control
of their lives to them.
As a parent, it makes me
proud to look at my adult children today and know they can
stand on their own feet, support
themselves financially, and make
good, solid choices that govern
the direction of their lives.
At school
I have often heard teachers say
things like, “Kids need to take
more responsibility for their education.” If we, as educators, truly
want kids to take responsibility
and ownership of their education, we have to relinquish some
of our control and empower the
kids with choices.
For example, if you want the
students to read a book that has
the theme of justice, what rule
says they have to all read the
same book? You can find several
books from multiple genres that
have justice as the main theme.
Lay them out for the kids and let
them choose which one they
want to read. Can you imagine
how rich the classroom discussions, the literary circles, the
book talks will be when your
students are discussing what they
chose to read?
Sometimes you can give the
power of choice to the class as a
whole. “We have to do these
three things today. I’m going to
let you vote and determine the
order in which we do them.” You
are still in control of the objective, but the students now have a
voice in the process. I realize
that won’t work in every situation, but from time to time, it can
be a great tool.
For years, educators have
looked at data and used that
information to drive instruction. I
am so thrilled that more teachers are now putting the data in
the hands of the students. They
are empowering the kids and
giving them the responsibility of
plotting their own progress
throughout the year. Kids are
actively monitoring their personal academic strengths and weaknesses as well as their growth
and success over time. The
teachers then involve the kids in
structuring their interventions
and enrichments based on their
individual needs. For those kids,
education is not something that
is happening to them, it is something in which they are intimately involved.
One year I had a third-generation gang member in my class.
The first day he walked in he
said to me, “I just have one rule.”
Now that might make some
teachers angry. It made me curious. I asked what his rule was.
He said, “I have to sit with my
back by the wall.” Knowing his
background, that made perfect
sense. I told him that not only
could he sit with his back to the
wall, but I would also let him sit
where he could always see the
door. After all, someone was
going to have to sit in that place,
why not let it be the student it
mattered most to? By allowing
that young man control over
where he sat, I never had a
moment’s trouble with him the
entire year. And, we were able
to establish a relationship and an
environment that facilitated his
learning.
The truth is, regardless of our
age, we all want some measure
of control over what happens to
us. We did not become parents
or teachers so that we could
exercise dictatorial control over
other people, and yet, too often,
that’s exactly what we do. And
what is the result? Kids who live
and behave out of control
because they’ve never learned
differently. So, if as parents and
teachers you want better-behaved
children who take responsibility
and even initiative at home and
in the classroom, today is the
day to begin preparing them and
empowering them to make those
age-appropriate choices. A child
who feels in control is less likely
to behave out of control.
Janesville car group chases a cruising revival
JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) —
Decades ago, Janesville's downtown attracted hundreds of
young people who cruised the
streets in hot rods, muscle cars
and whatever their parents would
let them drive.
Twenty-three years after that
tradition became outlawed, a
recently formed group of baby
boomers -- with their gray hair,
fading blue tattoos, yet everflashy rides -- want to go for
another ride and resurrect a piece
of Janesville's past. And they've
made friends out of the kind of
folks who ended it all those
years ago, The Janesville Gazette
reported.
"I grew up on the circuit," said
Tom Nimmo, an organizer for
the Janesville Cruisers Car Club,
referring to the notorious rectangular network of streets that
teens and 20-somethings converged on for decades. "A Friday, a Saturday night down
there, there would be hundreds
of people."
Beginning in the 1950s, Mil-
waukee, Court, High and Wisconsin streets became the epicenter of youth culture in
Janesville. People checked out
and showed off cars. Races ran
up Courthouse Hill. Pizza parlors and long-gone movie theaters were there to fuel the energy.
Those who remember those
days say Janesville had the
biggest circuit west of Milwaukee in southern Wisconsin and
attracted dozens of out-of-towners every week.
Eventually, that cruising culture earned too much notoriety,
and in 1993 the city choked it
out of existence with a new ordinance. Any lingering cruisers
moved on to Milton Avenue,
where they continue to this day.
More than 20 years later, in an
era where the same downtown
streets are largely empty and
tranquil on weekend nights, a
crew of 60-some-year-olds wants
to bring cruising back for at least
one night_to hold a quasi-car
show that's on the move.
"This is more of a nostalgic
thing," Nimmo said. "It'll bring
the old days to Janesville."
Despite a large local following on social media, the
Janesville Cruisers Car Club's
got fewer than a dozen paying
members. A little more than half
are men, and of them, most are
in their 60s and either worked
for General Motors or have
earned a living working with
cars some other way.
The group formed with the
help of Nimmo and three other
longtime Janesville residents
after a public discussion on
Facebook had some reminiscing
about the circuit.
The Janesville circuit was born
in 1956, right as the post-World
War II car culture was raging,
when the booming city had to
convert Milwaukee and Court
streets into one-way roads to
handle traffic, according to "A
Century of Stories," a local history book by Mike DuPre. The
lengthy three-lane stretches were
ideal for driving around among
friends with no particular place
to go.
Most of the car club members
came of cruising age in the
1970s, when the GM plant operated at its peak and interest in
cars was still hot in people's bellies.
"It was a rite of passage,"
Nimmo said. "Everybody was
down there."
The way Nimmo and others
describe it, cruising was nearunavoidable in those days.
Nobody had cellphones. The best
way to buddy-up was to head
downtown.
In its early days at least, it
wasn't a tough guy scene, either.
"It was pretty innocent," said
city council member Douglas
Marklein, who could be found
on the circuit in the early 1970s.
"We were just checking people's
cars out and trying to meet girls.
A lot of people found friendships. Some people married."
