Nine city of Breckenridge em-ployees with a combined service of more than 100 years were given their service pins at the regular Breckenridge City Com-missioners meeting Monday.

Breckenridge city manager Andy McCuistion recognized nine employees who have had at least ve years of service to the city of Breckenridge.

Employees included: Gin-ger Wimberley, 35 years; Di-ane Latham, 25 years; Malcolm Bufkin, 20 years’ Stacy Harri-son, 20 years; Larry Mahan Jr., 15 years; Scott Bills, ve years; Wesley Duggan, ve years; Sha-non Herring, ve years; and Christi Tidrow, ve years.

Also, Breckenridge city sec-retary Heather Robertson was recognized for earning her Level II certi cation in the Texas Mu-nicipal Court Clerk Certi cation program.

Commissioners approved the purchase of a new 2013 CAT 416F backhoe loader for $74,000. The backhoe will carry a ve year/5,000 hour warranty.

The purchase was needed af-ter the city’s 2001 CAT backhoe broke in several places. Warren CAT of Abilene assessed the damage and estimated the cost for repair at $25,000.

The city got prices for equip-ment and a 2012 backhoe was offered at $65,500 with a three

The recommendation was to purchase the 2012 model. How-ever, upon discussion from city commissioners, it was deter-mined that the 2013 backhoe was a rental unit with 506 hours

of the equipment. There could be plugs in the tires, and, be-cause they’re plugged from the inside, we’d never know,” said commissioner David Wimber-ley. “I’m recommending that we

get the new equipment for just about $8,000 more so we know that we are getting a brand new piece of equipment that’s never been used. With the new war-ranty and new equipment, we won’t have to worry about any

The canned goods donated in the food drive will all be donated to the Stephens County Food Bank, which is operated through the Stephens County Commis-

sioners and Stephens County Judge.

The IdleAmerican

I saw on the news the other morning that the cost of the gifts for the “Twelve Days of Christ-mas” had gone up. It would cost over $100,000 to buy all those gifts this year. It was no surprise. With the cost of gold these days, the ve gold rings would have sky-rocketed.

The union wages for la-dies dancing and lords-a-leaping have really gone up, and with the new health insurance laws af-ter the rst of the year, it’s could really be a problem.

Let me say this up-front for all those Episcopa-lians and Catholics in the bunch. I know that the twelve days came after Christmas and were the days that the wise men took to travel to Beth-lehem. But most of us serial-Presbyterians and Bible-beating Baptists en-vision it being the twelve days before Christmas. We get the wise men and the shepherds there on the same night the baby was born.

Here’s Mary right out of Recovery, Joseph hand-ing out “It’s a Messiah” ci-gars, and the whole place crowded with cows and sheep and such. There’s an angel on top and a par-tridge in a pear tree right outside the door.

Although some of us have it a little mixed up … with Santa kneeling

and his Harley Davidson parked just outside the Motel, we still celebrate the season with great joy. Whether we think the twelve days are before or after Christmas doesn’t really matter. Gift-giving is a big deal.

Back to the girl who was getting all those rings. The cost is not limited to the value of the gifts when given.

Just consider the num-ber of trucks needed to haul them in and haul the poop out. Maids don’t come without each hav-ing her own cow. Birds will need cages, the goose eggs will pile up and seven swans will take up a pret-ty good sized back-yard pool.

That takes care of the smell, but what about the noise? Have you ever heard a frightened goose? Put him in the room with lords leaping after dancing ladies, drummers practic-ing, and a bunch of young girls ghting over rings. I taught junior high school for thirty years, and sev-enth period could get a little loud … but nothing compares to this.

It’s a good thing that the musicians don’t get there until last: day eleven, the pipers arrive followed closely by those infernal drummers. Who-ever put a drummer boy in the room with a sleeping

baby was playing for the wrong team.

There’s no mention of the 13th day. That’s the day that all heck broke loose. The poor girl was kicked out of her home by the neighbors, the ASPCA arrived to rescue the ani-mals, the Easter bunny arrived to take care of the “egg problem,” and the pawn shop arrived to re-po the rings.

Late that afternoon, the police arrived on a domes-tic violence call. It seems the girl was sitting in the middle of the living room, covered in feathers.

Her “ ancé” lay dead in the corner. Although the coroner would have to make a formal ruling, it seems he was impaled by a pear tree branch, hit on the head with a milk pail, and in possession of a ute which had been stuck in a most uncomfortable place. She was humming a non-sense little ditty … very repetitious. They took her away.

The moral to this story is to do your research. Just because it’s in the catalogue, doesn’t mean that it will make the per-fect gift. Timing is not important … twelve days before or twelve days af-ter. One small, nice gift is good. One hundred thousand dollars spent on three tons of feathers and poop is bad … whenever.

In his play, As You Like It, debuted some 410 years ago, Will Shakespeare said “all the world’s a stage.”

We can only guess whether theatre audiences nodded in agreement or shook their heads vigor-ously to object. Most of them likely were ambiva-lent, much like “players” on the world’s stage today, when we face more is-sues than anyone cares to count.

So let us consider an ad-dendum to his quote: “and cameras as well as micro-phones.”…

We, the populace, may whimper, protest, mut-ter, lament or whatever. We are now at that place where sights and sounds are part of public records. Such has been stuffed into our collective pipes, ours to smoke, whether or not we inhale.

Nations spy on nations, corporations on competi-tors, political parties on each other, and, of course, traf c cameras on motor-ists.

We may “cry uncle” or not, but it is clear that “uncle’s” intrusions have taken over like kudzu, ten-tacles fully engaged....

More info whizzes about in cyberspace than mere mortals can imagine. The US mail, though, provides sobering reminders.

One came in a forebod-ing envelope from the City of Fort Worth the other day. It was addressed to me, and I opened it hast-ily, not dreaming that con-tents would apply to my wife, not to me.

Lo--and throw in “be-hold,” too--the document, somewhat harshly word-ed, alleged that a motor-ist driving a vehicle regis-tered in my name “did then and there commit the fol-lowing violation…failure

to stop at a red light.” Sup-porting evidence included photos shot from three angles, as well as a video. The “knock-out” blow was unmistakable—a picture “front and center” of my car’s license plate….

I did what any spouse with a lick of sense would do. Racing to my calen-dar, I prayed that it would provide proof of my being other-where on the fateful day.

Hallelujah! I was in Dallas--driving our “good” car. I was “committing” a speech in the morning and visiting with a friend’s family gathered in a hospi-tal surgery waiting room in the afternoon.

After establishing in-nocence, it was mine to inform my wife that she had committed a grievous traf c infraction and to contact the county tax of- ce. After all, it seems best

to get both our vehicles in her name. That way, she can open future such noti- cations herself….

She doesn’t believe she had done anything wrong, of course. After all, she’s been driving for a full half-century, NEVER having received a citation.

Stopped just once for driving a “teensy-weensy” bit over the speed limit, she cried real tears that rolled down reddened cheeks. The of cer put away his citation pad, apologizing for causing for causing any inconvenience.

Alas, while tears worked on the of cer, they do no good for an emotionless camera. The $75 check for the ne has been mailed, so of cially, the matter is closed. The saga continues verbally, however….

Views of such matters depend on whose foot the shoe pinches. Ours is ma-jor surgery; yours is mi-

nor, probably even “out-patient.” I could probably stand your minor illness on my eyeball.

Brenda “sort of” re-members the errant turn, vowing that the light was primarily amber, maybe with the slightest “pink-ish” hue.

My guess is that it was at the epicenter of red—the brightest hue sold at the paint store….

The recent holidays were joyous with conver-gence of kids and grand-kids. At mid-morning, though, “technologi-cal overkill” tempered Thanksgiving joy. Daugh-ter Jana and her hubby re-ceived frantic phone calls from Tyler. Police, they learned, had converged on their home, responding to a “911” call. Relax, it was a false alarm. After all, no one was home.

Some phone line fault triggered the “911” call. (Emergency responders explained that such calls are often the result of such breaches.)

Jana was chagrined. Kinfolks and neighbors in-spected every room, mak-ing sure the home was free of intruders. With disarray associated with both the holidays and “getting out of town,” Jana had post-poned housecleaning un-til right AFTER Thanks-giving. She winced at the thought of others seeing the, uh, mess.

Ah, this stage on which we mortals strut may be far better illuminated than we like….

Twelve Day Disaster Detected ... Doner found Dead

By ALEX MILLS

The oil and gas industry set another activity record last month – the fourth in a row – as the Texas Petro Index reached an historic high of 293.7.

Even though natural gas production declined slightly this year (2 per-cent), crude oil increased an incredible 20.8 percent and employment is up almost 60,000 jobs over the previous record set in 2008.

“Crude oil-related activ-ity has driven expansion of the upstream oil and gas economy in Texas for nearly three years,” said Karr Ingham, the econo-mist who created the TPI and updates it monthly. “But higher wellhead pric-es for natural gas have boosted the value of Tex-as-produced gas this year through October by 36.5 percent, so the contribu-tion of the gas sector is be-ginning to show up in the TPI.”

Gas completions are up 48.1 percent to 4,594, and oil completions have increased 88.5 percent to reach 16,276.

A composite index based upon a comprehen-

sive group of upstream economic indicators, the Texas Petro Index in Oc-tober 2013 increased to a record 293.7, up 6.2 per-cent compared to the same month in 2012. Before the current economic expan-sion, the TPI’s previous all-time high of 287.6 oc-curred in September and October 2008, after which the TPI declined to 188.5 in December 2009 before embarking upon the cur-rent growth cycle.

Among TPI indicators during September:

• Crude oil production in Texas totaled an esti-mated 76.6 million barrels, about 13.2 million barrels (20.8 percent) more than in October 2012. Crude oil wellhead prices averaged $97.19/bbl, about 13.0 per-cent more than in October 2012. Production gains and higher wellhead pric-es combined to boost the value of Texas-produced crude oil by about 36.4 percent, to about $7.45 bil-lion.

• Estimated Texas natural gas output was more than 669.0 billion cubic feet, a year-over-year monthly decline of 2.0 percent. Natural gas prices averaged $3.52 per

thousand cubic feet, about 22.2 percent more than in October 2012. Higher wellhead prices more than offset the production de-cline to boost the value of Texas-produced gas to more than $2.3 billion, 17.0 percent more than in October 2012.

• The Baker Hughes count of active drilling rigs in Texas averaged 820, about 5.4 percent fewer than in October 2012, when 867 rigs on average were operating. Drilling activity in Texas peaked in September 2008 at a monthly average of 946 rigs before falling to a trough of 329 in June 2009.

• The number of Texans estimated to be on oil and gas industry payrolls to-taled 281,900, according to statistical methods based upon Texas Workforce Commission estimates revised in March. Indus-try employment in Texas reached a record 282,700 in August 2013, increas-ing from a low of 179,200 in October 2009. During the previous growth cy-cle, industry employment peaked at 223,200 in No-vember 2008.

The annual Salva-tion Army Christmas Canned Food Drive is underway according to Unit Chairman Andy Channer.

“We have collection boxes in Dollar Gener-al, Family Dollar, and Ray’s Grocery. And we have already collected some cans from them,” he said.

“This canned food drive annually aids many families in our city, but it takes a lot of cans! Please look for our collection boxes at the front of Dollar General,

Family Dollar and Ray’s Grocery. If everyone will drop in some cans, we will have enough to make this drive a suc-cess,” said Channer. “It is a wonderful way for folks to provide some-thing to eat for someone less fortunate, and isn’t that one of the things God has called us to do?”

The drive is being co-ordinated through the County Judge’s Office in the Courthouse, and people in need are asked to sign up there if they want to receive food.

The County Commis-

sioners are providing invaluable help in dis-pensing the food to the folks who need it the most.

“We desperately need your help if we are go-ing to make a difference in many families’ lives this Christmas,” Chan-ner said. “Christmas is about giving to others in the name of Christ. If you are looking for a meaningful way to give a gift that counts to people who really need it, please consider sup-porting our annual food drive for needy people.”

Winter storm blows through Breckenridge

A winter storm blew through Breckenridge Thursday afternoon and all day Friday, leaving the city in a blanket of sleet, freezing rain and snow.

The storm cell was large enough to postpone Thursday night’s Brecken-ridge Chamber of Commerce Christ-mas Parade and halted classes for

Friday at all Breckenridge ISD cam-puses as well as Texas State Techni-cal College-Breckenridge.

The local sports scene felt the cold crunch as well as Thursday night basketball games at Breckenridge Junior High were cancelled.

The varsity boys and girls were able to t in games in the Albany Tournament but were called off Fri-day. Play was going to attempt to re-sume Saturday afternoon.

Buckaroos claims title for Oil Belt District II

Breckenridge was still stunned by the close call given by the San Angelo Bobcats against the Breckenridge Bucka-roos the previous Saturday, Nov. 16, 1929, in a 15-6 win posted by the Bucks, which solidi ed their perfect winning season, so far, of 9-0.

The Buckaroos also could cinch the Oil Belt District II crown when or if they beat the Ranger Bulldogs on Thanks-giving Day. Unless Abilene is beat by San Angelo this Sat-urday, Nov. 23, which was not expected but could hand the District II title to the Breckenridge Buckaroos, who are idle this week while preparing for their Thanksgiving Day tilt with Ranger at Buckaroo Stadium.

It is concluded that the Ranger Bulldogs could hand the Bucks their rst defeat of the season and besmirch their perfect season and throw them into a tie with the Abilene Eagles, who had only lost one game so far that season, to the Buckaroos. However, that could all be changed if San Angelo knocks off the contenders, the Abilene Eagles, this Saturday, prior to Thanksgiving.

This season Coach Eck Curtis, (who became the BHS coach from 1935 to 1944), would bring his toughest crew up against the Buckaroos in the their annual Turkey Day clash. In 1928, the Buckaroos beat the Bulldogs 13-6 in a mudfest in Ranger, which could have been a 25-6 score, according to Buckaroo fans. Apparently, two touchdowns were called back, especially one in a very controversial call late in the fourth quarter.

After the muddy and wet conditions for the Abilene Ea-gles game (26-0) and the rainy, soggy eld conditions for the Cisco game (21-0), it was determined that the Bucks are mud horses who play very well in wet, rainy weather, with poor eld conditions.

Ranger had been beaten by two teams, so far that sea-son, Brownwood (12-7) and Abilene (6-0), and were out of the running for the Oil Belt District II Championship but would just as well enjoy ruining the continued perfect re-cord of the Bucks to complete their season. Like the Bob-cats, the Bulldogs directed all their energy that week to-ward defeating the Buckaroos in the Thanksgiving Day Classic. The Bulldogs would like to avenge the 13-6 loss handed to them last year at the hands of the Bucks.

As everyone is aware, the Bucks had only been scored on three times during the 1929 season; Brownwood (59-6), Sweetwater (14-6) and San Angelo (15-6). However, there had only been six rst downs made against the Shotwell defensive front line of the Bucks. Three rst downs were made by the Abilene Eagles, one by the Mineral Wells Rams, one by the Cisco Loboes and one by the Eastland Mavericks. There had been more than the six rst downs made against the Bucks but only six through the front de-fensive wall. Others were made through defensive plays or in an aerial attack by their opponents.

If Breckenridge lost to the Bulldogs and the Eagles won their last two games against San Angelo and Cisco, there could be an extra play-off game played to determine the winner of the Oil Belt District II, since both teams would then have a 9-1 record.

Meanwhile, an epidemic of diphtheria had become wide-spread across the state of Texas, according to the State Health Of cer, Dr. J.C. Anderson. He encouraged all par-ents to have their children, between one and 12 years of age, immunized. The previous week, there were 164 cases of diphtheria reported across the state of Texas and possi-bly other cases that hadn’t been reported in a timely man-ner.

In Breckenridge, the Martha Washington Candy Store opened at 815 E. Walker by H. I. Trout. Fresh candy was made daily on the premises by Miss Floy Bevins. The store opened in the new Trout building and the adjacent building that was the home of the Cinderella Beauty Parlor, oper-ated by Mrs. Mrytle Davis, and the home to ‘The Hat & Gown,’ a ladies ready-to-wear store, which was managed by Mrs. Carrie Linn Sandefer and Jewel Pruitt.

The Breckenridge American editor, Wes Hodges, was able to track down Earl Akin, noted glider designer, in-ventor and pilot, who may hold the world record for being towed the longest distance by an airplane in Texas. The event occurred Nov. 10, 1929, when Ranger Transport Co. airplane pilot Boggs towed Earl Akin in his latest glider for 30 miles from the Breckenridge Airport to the celebra-tion at the Ranger Airport. His latest glider design was of all-steel construction and most of the construction was pat-ented by Akin himself. Boggs cut Akin loose at 3,500 feet above the gathered Ranger crowd, who watched as Akin ew his glider through various loops and aerial acrobatics

before gliding to a smooth landing at the airport. Akin said he had never been up that high in a glider before, his record at that point was 2,000 feet, and said he had an opportunity to workout some aerial maneuvers that had not been dem-onstrated before because he had more sky to work with.

When he left Ranger, trailing the airplane own by Boggs, the tow rope broke at 200 feet but it was over a part of Ranger that had railroad tracks, pipe yards, supply warehouses and high-line wires between his glider and the ground. Akin nosed his small glider into a rising air cur-rent and looked for a more suitable landing place to put the glider down. He spotted a slush pit that was about 30 feet in diameter and landed it there, unhurt. “You would not have had time to land a heavy plane like that,” said Akin. That further supported his argument for the use of gliders in pilot training – no crack-ups and minor injuries.

Well, one holiday down and two more on the way. The holiday season can be a lot of fun. There’s special music we play only at the holidays. There are decorations and colorful light displays all over the place. There are TV specials and department store sales, all designed around this time of year. Man... I sure love the holidays!!! I also love the foods we only eat at this time of year. You know what I mean, there’s turkey and dressing or maybe stuf ng depending on where you’re from. There’s pumpkin pies and cranberries. There’s eggnog and candy canes, none of which can be eaten at any other time of year... It’s an unwritten but understood law. Think about it, who ever heard of eggnog, candy canes or cranberries, say on the 4th of July? I’ve said all this to remind you not to get so caught up in the festivities, that you forget the one who gives it all to us. At the same time, let’s not only remember our benevolent creator only during this time of year. Jesus is not the reason for the season, He is the reason for every season.

“…witho ut him nothing was made that has been made” (John 1:3)

Don’t forget...

The Picketville Chap-ter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas met recently and were enter-tained by a Founder’s Day skit presented by Maretta Wulfjen and Elner Pettiet, who portrayed Miss Betty Ballinger ad Miss Hally Bryan respectively.

According to the story, during the summer of 1891 in Galveston, Miss Betty Ballinger was in her fa-ther’s law library with her cousin Miss Hally Bryan.

Mr. Ballinger’s law li-brary is historically re-ferred to as the “Cradle.”

The two women con-ceived of the idea of forev-er perpetuating the mem-ory of the Texas pioneer families and soldiers of the Republic of Texas by form-ing an association of their descendants.

Henceforth, the two cousins traveled to Hous-ton, where they presented their joint idea to 14 other women at a meeting at the home of Mrs. Andrew Briscoe on the afternoon of Nov. 6, 1891. The orga-nization that was estab-lished that day is what we have come to know as “The

Daughters of the Republic of Texas.

The Charter for “The Daughters of the Republic of Texas” was led at the Department of State on March 9, 1895.

Today, the DRT is an association with 106 chap-ters which are divided into 10 districts. Each Chapter is an integral part of the overall organization and is required to operate within the framework of Bylaws established by that origi-nal group in 1895.

Locally, the Picketville Chapter has 44 members and is located in District II.

The next meeting of the Picketville Chapter is set for Monday, Dec. 9. Mem-bers will meet at the TSTC parking lot at 1 p.m. and depart for a Christmas program at the Fort Davis Ranch.

If any women are in-terested in nding out more about their possible eligibility, contact Judy Wolfe, who is president of the Picketville Chapter, at 254-559-3030 or contact any of the other members of the local chapter.

BFAC to host ‘Christmas with Elvis’ Dec. 14

The Breckenridge Fine Arts Center will host “El-vis Presley Live,” with Kraig Parker portraying the ‘King of Rock and Roll’ at 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 14.

This is a Las Vegas style ‘Dinner and Dance Show’ with two performances, one at 7 p.m. and the sec-ond show at 8:15 p.m. and a Live Auction/Raf e to end the evening.

The BFAC invites ev-eryone to a night of fun with a Las Vegas Style background for the dinner and shows.

For additional infor-mation, call the Director, Victoria MacFarlane, at 254-559-6602 or go by for a visit in person at 207 N. Breckenridge.

BFAC continues exhibit ‘Master and Students’ Works’

The Breckenridge Fine Arts Center (BFAC) contin-ues the exhibit in the Main Gallery titled “Master and Students’ Works,” which will be exhibited through Dec. 31.

Additionally, there is a new exhibit in the East Gal-lery with Pam Bunch and Linda Rust, both of Del Rio, who display their extraordi-nary oils and watercolors.

D.K. “Deb” Richardson is a well-known Master Artist who lives in Austin and is a proli c artist whose work has been seen at the BFAC on many occasions. She also has taught oil and pastel painting workshops here on several occasions.

This exhibit is a little dif-ferent. Richardson has in-vited her private students, workshop students and class students in Austin and Breckenridge to show their work with her. Richardson’s students include a number of young artists in the 14 to 18 year-old range.

“Artists are always learn-ing from each other and the world around them,” said Richardson. “It is what keeps our work fresh and exciting.”

The highlight of the show is the Verdaccio technique exhibition. Verdaccio is an Italian name for a soft

greenish brown mixture of pigments used to create an under-painting. The early Renaissance painters creat-ed the technique to quickly establish the tonal values in fresco painting. When the under-painting is dry, thin layers of color are laid over the under-paintig. This technique is renowned for creating effective esh tones and was used effectively by Leonardo da Vinci who used the technique in his master-piece of the famous Mona Lisa.

In addition to the Verdac-cio study, each artist will display creative, original works in the Main Gallery.

Richardson thinks the Verdaccio exhibit will be a wonderful experience for the gallery visitor. “It was a bit of an experiment, to use the same reference ma-terial for all of my classes and workshops,” said Rich-ardson. “However, now that the paintings are complete, it has created a rare oppor-tunity to see paintings by a dozen or more artists, of the same subject, the same technique, the same medi-um, the same linen canvas and the same frame.”

For additional informa-tion about either exhibit, call the BFAC at 254-559-6602.

The Beatles On Air—Live At The BBC Vol. 2 New release reveals more early Beatles BBC treasures. CD $19.88 (Capitol/Universal Music Group)

An all-new companion to the Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum-selling 1994 “Live At The BBC,” this treasure trove features 63 live tracks recorded by the Fab Four for a variety of radio programs on the BBC in the early to mid 1960s. The eclectic mix includes 37 previously unreleased musical performances and more than 20 snippets of never released studio banter, revealing the band’s youthful high spirits and also the great breadth of their early musical infl uences, with covers of Chuck Berry’s “I’m Talking About You,” Little Richard’s “Lucille,” Ray Charles’ “I’ve Got a Woman,” and Chan Romero’s “The Hippy Hippy Shake.” And, of course, there are spunky run-throughs of 30 now-familiar Beatles classics, including “I Saw Her Standing There,” “Twist And Shout,” “Please Mister Postman” and “Money,” plus a 48-page booklet.

Skyscrapers By Judith DupréBig book of world’s tallest buildings is shaped to suit its subject. Hardcover, 176 pages ($26.95, Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers)

A skyscraper of a book itself, this super-tall 9”x18” volume mirrors its subjects: the world’s tallest buildings.

With oversize, full-color photos, specs and a history of awe-inspiring vertical masterpieces all around the globe---including such iconic American land-marks as the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and the Willis (formerly Sear) Tower, plus an array of newer creations in Europe, China, the Middle East and India---it’s an inspiring, eye-

popping, soaring architectural tour, one that might just leave you feeling a little bit light-headed.

Delivery Man Vince Vaughn, Chris Pratt and Cobie Smulders. Directed by Ken Scott, PG-13, 105 min.

When Brooklyn meat delivery-truck driver David Wozniak (Vince Vaughn) discovers that anonymous sperm donations he made to a fertility clinic some decades ago have resulted in more than 500 now-adult children, he decides to check them out. Not all of them---just the 142 New Yorkers who are suing to fi nd out the true identity of their dad. So he goes off to see how they’ve sprouted---without letting any of them know who he really is. The fi lm follows Wozniak as he interacts with his off spring. He encourages the street musician, cheers for the historical resenactor, gets a manicure from the salon worker, and subs for the barista at a coff ee shop so the aspiring actor can skip work and go to an audition. He even saves the heroin addict from an overdose.

Vaughn, whose acting career has generally been defi ned by playing slouchy, raunchy man-child slackers, takes a decided turn toward the warm and fuzzy here, but still retains enough of his trademark comedic brand to not totally surprise anyone expecting to see a “Vince Vaughn movie.” It’s Chris Pratt, however, a supporting player on TV’s “Parks and Recreation,” who snatches most of the laughs right out from under him as his best friend and lawyer buddy.

Ultimately, this tall tale of a fantastically fertile lug and his epic leap into the nether-reaches of father-hood has a message about family, connectivity and belonging that wraps around its comic center like one giant group hug. But “Delivery Man” makes you slog down a long road of soppy, artifi cially sweet goop to get to it.

For anyone who enjoys Western Swing music, Dec. 12, is a date to mark for being at the Majestic Theatre in Eastland.

Texas legend and Amer-ican treasure, Asleep at the Wheel will be perform-ing their Santa Loves to Boogie Concert. As a ben-e t for the West Texas Re-habilitation Center, the performance will be one to remember.

Sponsor support for the event includes: First Fi-nancial Bank, Eastland; Kinnaird Rossander and Perry Insurance Agency; EBAA Iron, E. T. and Anna Bradley; Jeff and Vicki Bradley; Rep. Jim

and Leslie Keffer; Ken-nedy Financial Services; Rodger Terrell; Eastland County Newspapers; Victor Cornelius/Alpha Graphics; KATX 97.7, The Connellee Hotel/East-land Community Founda-tion and Greer’s Western Store.

The Wheel has recorded two albums of Texas-cen-tric holiday music through the years, but recently the group launched a western swing holiday concert.

Santa Loves to Boo-gie includes a repertoire that combines Asleep at the Wheel’s most popular songs with holiday favor-ites and originals such as

“Christmas in Jail,” “Mer-ry Texas Christmas Y’all,” “Mele Kalikimaka,” and “Swingin’ Silent Night.”

For over 40 years, Asleep at the Wheel has seen miles and miles of Texas.

It all started when Ray Benson, Floyd Dom-ino, Lucky Oceans, Leroy Preston, Chris O’Connell and Gene Dobkin joined forces. They began with a simple goal: to play and help revive American roots music.

The musicianship of Asleep at the Wheel has become the stuff of leg-ends.

Known as one of the

best live acts in the busi-ness, the band has con-stantly toured at a na-tional level throughout its history.

Ray Benson fell in love with Western Swing be-cause of its unique com-bination of elements with American blues, swing and traditional ddling, but also for its demanding musical chops.

Western Swing is what Benson calls “jazz with a cowboy hat” and is a thrill to hear live. Thanks largely to the Wheel’s years of promotion, West-ern Swing is a living and creative genre of music today.

Over their history, Asleep at The Wheel has garnered nine Grammy Awards and released more than 25 studio and live al-bums and there is no sign of slowing down any time soon.

The Majestic Theatre which is located at 108 North Lamar in Eastland, Texas is a great venue for the Dec. 12 concert. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. with the show beginning at 7:30 p.m.

General Admission tickets are $25 and can be purchased at the West Texas Rehabilitation Cen-ter – 4601 Hartford in Abilene, Texas or call 254-

629-2332 for ticket sales sites in the Eastland area.

For more information call 325-660-8338 or visit the Rehab’s website West-TexasRehab.org.

West Texas Rehabilita-tion Center is a nation-ally respected outpatient physical rehabilitation fa-cility.

Funds raised through events such as the Asleep at the Wheel concert help to support services so pa-tients may receive thera-py, regardless of their -nancial circumstance.

The Center provides more than 500 children and adult outpatient vis-its each day.

The Breckenridge Buckaroos improved their season record to 4-0 Tues-day night by defeating the Mineral Wells Rams 83-64 in their second meeting in just two weeks.

“We played extremely well in the rst half,” said Buckaroos head coach Rob Ogle. “I think that is probably about as good as we can play at this time in the year.”

The Bucks used a 22-point rst quarter and

great defense to claim a 22-14 lead at the end of the rst quarter.

Senior Caleb Spoon ac-counted for 14 of the 22 points scored including four three-pointers.

Rigo Gallegos scored four points, and Cam Toombs sank two free-throws for the Bucks.

The Bucks scored 22 points in the second quar-ter while holding the Rams to ve points.

Alain Franco scored seven points and Spoon had four points.

Aaron Brooks, Mateo Ramirez, and Gallegos

each scored three points and Anthony Ramirez added two points in the second quarter.

The Bucks saw their lead diminish some what in the third quarter as the Rams outscored the Bucks 20-15.

“We relaxed in the third quarter and lost the momentum for about three or four minutes in that quarter,” said Ogle. “Sometimes when you get up like that, it is hard to maintain that same level of intensity, but that is something that we are going to have to learn to

do. There may be games later down the road where that happens. I give them (Mineral Wells) credit be-cause they can shoot the ball really well.”

Gallegos led the third quarter scoring with six points, while Spoon scored three points, and DeMar-cus Johnson, Clay Boaz and Toombs each scored two points.

In the fourth quar-ter, the Bucks scored 24 points, while the Rams scored 25 points, making the nal score 83-64.

Gallegos scored eight points, while Spoon added

ve points in the quarter. M. Ramirez and A.

Ramirez each scored four points, while Franco add-ed two points and Boaz chipped in one point.

Spoon nished with a team-high 28 points, 16 rebounds, two assists and two steals. Gallegos scored 21 points and had ve rebounds, three as-

sists and two steals. Franco tossed in nine

points, eight rebounds and two steals, while M. Ramirez added seven points, three assists, one rebound and one steal and A. Ramirez nished

with six points, nine as-sists, six steals and four rebounds.

Toombs scored four points, while Brooks chipped in with three points and one rebound. Boaz scored three points as well and had three rebounds, three assists and two steals. Johnson scored two points and had one assist and one steal.

The Buckaroos, who are ranked No. 9 in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches poll, will play at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 10, in Tuscola against Jim Ned.

Lady Bucks stung by the HoneybeesBy BRANT THURMONDsports@breckenridgeamerican.comfollow @bamericansports on Twitter

The Breckenridge Lady Buckaroos got all they could handle from the No. 14 state-ranked Stephenville Honeybees Tuesday night as they fell 67-37.

Stephenville’s consis-tent defensive pressure during the early stages of the game proved to be the difference.

“We had not seen pressure like Stephen-ville gives until Tues-day night,” said Lady Buckaroo head coach Ky Graham. “We didn’t re-spond very well at first to the pressure, but as the game moved along we did get better at handling the pressure.”

“It wasn’t the result that we wanted, but it did remind us that we still have a lot of work to do,” said Graham.

The Lady Buckaroos trailed 14-8 at the end of the first period and scored eight points in the second quarter as the Honeybees scored 18 points to make the score 32-16 at halftime.

Stephenville scored 12

points in the third quar-ter, while Breckenridge scored nine and trailed 44-25 heading into the fi-nal quarter.

The Lady Bucks scored 12 points in the fourth quarter, however the Honeybees scored 23 points.

The Lady Bucks were led by Carri Yarbrough who had 14 points, 10 re-bounds, and one assist.

Hanna Singleton fin-ished with eight points, four steals and one re-bound, while Megan Herrington scored seven points and had five re-bounds, two steals and one assist and Cayli Yar-brough scored four points and had three assists and two steals.

Heide O’Dell tossed in two points and had two rebounds and one steal, while Maci Patterson chipped in two points. Alexa Medina had one rebound and one steal.

“It was good that we saw that kind of pres-sure before district, said Graham. “I believe it will help us in the long run.”

The Lady Bucks will open district play at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 10 by hosting Cisco.

The Buckaroo JV Green fell to the Mineral Wells Rams 57-51 Tues-dsay at the BISD Athlet-ic and Fine Arts Facility.

“I thought we played pretty well,” said JV Green coach Rod Thomp-son. “There was two guys that hurt us the last time we played Min-eral Wells that scored in double digits and we held them to single dig-its this time.”

“I thought we played better than we did when we played them last time,” said Thompson. “We had some break downs here and there that kind of let the game get away from us but we are getting better.”

The Bucks trailed by one point (15-16) at the end of the first quarter went into halftime with a four point deficit at 27-23.

Breckenridge rallied back to score 18 points in the third quarter to lead 41-40, but a 17-point fourth quarter by the Rams helped Mineral Wells win 57-51.

Mykal Abila led the team with 21 points, while Tyrin West scored 14 points.

Cade Cornett and Brady Tennison each scored four points, while Max Palacios, Alfre-do Arellano and Blake Martinez each had four points.

The Buckaroo JV White fell to the Mineral Wells Rams 53-37 Tuesday eve-ning at the BISD Athletic and Fine Arts Facility.

“I thought we played pretty well and the kids did a good job of feeding Brandon (Hunter) on the post which allowed him to have a good game,” said JV White Coach Pat Yarbrough. “We had some breakdowns offensively and defensively, but we are de nitely improving. We are really looking bet-ter offensively and are continuing to get better

defensively.”The Bucks trailed 8-11

at the end of the rst quarter and 18-23 at half-time.

The Rams stretched their lead to 37-26 at the end of the third period and were able to use a 16-point fourth quarter to help claim the win.

Hunter led the team with 23 points, while Christian Duron scored eight points.

Balee Smith tossed in four points and Jordan Singleton chipped in two points.
