IRVING ISD HONOR ROLLS LIST TOP STUDENTS — PAGE 3 Irving Rambler the www.irvingrambler.com THIS WEEK Breeders’ champion crowned It seems reasonable, if not logical that a horse named Ghostzapper running in a field of 13 horses would win any race the day before Halloween. However, Ghostzapper and his jockey, Javier Castellano, had a lot more than silly superstition and chance on their side. The four-year old son of Awesome Again, winner of the 1998 Breeders’ Cup Classic; This is the Ghostzapper first time a is a very fast Breeders’ Cup horse who Classic winhas perfect 4 ner has sired for 4 record another Breedthis year. In ers’ Cup ClasS a t u r d a y ’s sic winner. I am feeling very finale, the blessed. Breeders’ Cup Classic hosted – Frank by Lone Star Stronach Park, Ghostzapper took an early lead and held it all the way to the finish line. Horse and jockey set a Breeders’ Cup Classic record, finishing the mile and a quarter run in 1:59:02. Three lengths behind, Roses in May came in second. Pleasantly Perfect, the 2003 Breeder’s Cup winner, followed in third place. Frank Stronach, Ghostzapper’s owner and breeder, spoke about the race during the Press Breakfast at the track Sunday morning. “Of course, I am very pleased and very proud of Ghostzapper and his sire,” Stronach said. “This is the first time a Breeders’ Cup Classic winner has sired another Breeders’ Cup Classic winner. I am feeling very blessed.” “The Newspaper That Irving Reads” Local youth a big winner at annual ‘Casino’ charity event Jamie Foxx plays legendary singer Ray Charles in new movie ‘Ray’ Fallen soldier Vandertulip remembered by family, friends for valor in battle and for being an: ‘All-around great guy’ Soldier’s memorial Josiah Vandertulip’s brothers in arms remove the American flag from his coffin. The Irving High graduate is the first local casualty from the war in Iraq. “ “ See CUP, Page 6 NOVEMBER 4, 2004 Scholarship will help soldier’s memory to live on On Oct 14, 2004, Josiah Vandertulip, an Irving High School graduate and a specialist in the U.S. Army became the first Irving resident to give his life in Iraq. Irving High School, the Greater Irving/Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce and the Irving Schools Foundation will honor Spec. Josiah Vandertulip’s courage and sacrifice with an endowed scholarship in his name. The scholarship will be dedicated 1:30 p.m. at Irving High School on Veteran’s Day, Nov 11. During the Veteran’s Day ceremony, a proclamation from the city of Irving will be presented. The Irving ROTC will present a special flag ceremony. Congressman Pete Sessions and State Representative Linda Harper Brown have indicated they will attend; several other public officials have also been invited. Josiah’s family agreed that an endowed scholarship benefiting another Ir- ving student would be a fitting tribute to Josiah. Every year, Josiah’s parents will be invited to attend the Irving Schools Foundation “Breakfast With The Stars” where the scholarship will be awarded. Mr. and Mrs. Vandertulip will sit with the student receiving the scholarship in their son’s name. An endowed scholarship requires support from the entire community. Carolyn Dowler, principal at Irving High, has taken the lead in cooperation with the Greater Irving Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce and the Irving Schools Foundation to seek donations from businesses, service organizations, and Irving residents. “He was an all around awesome guy – Everyone loved him,” Jennifer Pickerell, friend of Josiah’s who has raised $300 for a scholarship in Josiah’s name, said. Individuals can make a contribution to the Josiah Vandertulip Scholarship Fund by calling the Irving Schools Foundation at 972.215.5006. Mr. and Mrs. Vandertulip will be informed of all contributors for their son’s scholarship. Irving voters select representatives in large election turnout Irving voters did their part in one of the largest voter turnouts for a presidential election in decades. Irving voters also had the opportunity to elect a number of county, state and government officials. As the exacting task of counting votes continued early Wednesday morning here are how some of the races were shaping up: Democrat John Kerry conceded the race for President of the United States to George W. Bush. Republican Kenny Marchant leads Democrat Gary R. Page for Congressional District number 24. Democrat Martin Frost conceded the race for Congressional District number 32 of Texas to Republican Pete Sessions. Republican Linda Harper-Brown leads Democrat Mike Moore for Texas House District 105. Republican Ray Allen leads Democrat Katy Hubener for Texas House District 106.

Page 2 November 4, 2004 www.irvingrambler.com Mervyn’s to host ‘Go Places. Read’ Opinion Choose to be a part of the solution President John F. Kennedy declared: “If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.” In an increasingly contentious environment, it is both inspirational and practical to realize there are many among us who prefer to be part of the solution. President Kennedy’s statement is meaningful in a society of seemingly endless problems. Although some view diversity as threatening and uncomfortable, others see it as a natural component of an ever-changing community. Although some dismiss health and financial problems by blaming them on poor choices, and those who simply fail to realize there are problems; others provide constructive responses. Although some believe our school systems are falling apart, and our city is becoming uninhabitable; others daily make profound efforts to ensure neither occurs. Indeed, in Irving those who are working together produce lasting effects on the lives of Irving’s people. Rather than criticism, they offer creativity; rather than condemnation, compassion; and rather than sink into despair and negativity, they encourage us by their examples. Sergio Mantassa leads Mission Min- istries at Oakview Baptist Church. From off-site services for the un-churched, to ESL classes, to meals for the needy and lonely at Thanksgiving, this group of volunteers makes such difference in the lives of people. A recent Saturday event involving these ministries saw over 2000 people fill a City park for an afternoon of diversion, creating a circle of community support and friendship. The Islamic Center of Irving is often viewed with curiosity and even suspicion. Knowing this, the Islamic Center nevertheless involved its people in Irving’s recent election. In part because of religious teaching, but more so out of a belief they were protecting large segments of their City’s neighborhoods. These men and women volunteered their time, gave money to their cause, and brought friends and family out to vote-worthy activities on behalf of one’s position regardless of the issue. Local realtor and former Irving city councilman Jack Spurlock has so focused his attention on a once obscure project of Ambucs that this project has received national acclaim. Increased visibility has increased opportunities for disabled and ill children to receive a specially-made vehicle that allows them The Irving Rambler mobility, exercise and increases the optimism that aids in recovery. In August of this year, the Irving Women’s Network provided over $2,000 in school supplies to children whose families could not. Elvia Wallace-Martinez and Debes Creer En Ti, a program to aid recent immigrants with assimilation into US culture, continue to address potential problems with real solutions. All over Irving there are those who labor without fanfare to lift up instead of tear down. As we look at our community and assess problems, we can learn valuable lessons from these whose positivity is always challenged by reality; yet they don’t give up. One lesson is this: Identifying the problem is less important than identifying the goal in addressing the problem. The choice is always ours to make. We can allow ourselves to be diminished by the problems we see around us; or we can do as many of our neighbors have done, the Elvia’s and Jack’s and Sergio’s of our city. We can look at each other in the bright light of our common humanity and see the solutions, and be a part of them. Sharon Barbosa-Crain The Irving Public Library is conducting a mini-reading club, “Go Places. Read!”, in November through the financial support of Mervyn’s and Verizon.

But on Sept. 13th Texas Ranger relief pitcher Frank Francisco made national headlines for another kind of errant throw. He hurled a folding chair that broke the nose of 41 year old housewife and Oakland A’s fan, Jennie Bueno. Apparently, Ms. Bueno was part of a group of fans sitting behind the bullpen who had been mercilessly heckling the Ranger relievers. Francisco faces criminal charges of aggravated assault and a 16 game suspension from Major League Baseball. Unfortunately for Francisco (who was the American League rookie of the month for August ) – the most remembered pitch of his career may be the result of an angry split-second decision to throw a chair. Revenge, while it feels right in the moment, always bears bitter consequences. Even if the act is not captured on na- Winners make‘Casino Nite!’ a special event to remember More than 170 members of the local business community attended the Greater Irving – Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce, hosted “It’s Vegas Baby, Casino Nite!” at the Embassy Suites on Oct 23. The annual Casino Nite! fundraiser helps the Chamber provide free and low cost advertising and marketing services to Irving’s small businesses. Casino Nite! featured a fully equipped casino complete with craps, roulette, blackjack, slots and Vegas style showgirls. A poker tournament allowed the high rollers to test their skills. By the end of the evening, Art Tedeschi took home the poker tournament’s first place, which included a trip to Las Vegas. Those not interested in cards could try their luck in the slot tournament. Mila Clayton’s luck brought her the slot tournament trophy and a Visa gift card. The Big Spender Raffle’s grand prize, a Visa gift card, went to Paul Oldham. Tournaments, raffles and prizes aside, the evening’s biggest winner by far was Jackson Sample. Seven-year old Jackson volunteered to take care of Bogar, a white Sheppard/Yellow lab mix puppy, being auctioned at the end of the night. Jackson walked Bogar, played with him and introduced him to potential bidders before tearfully giving Bogar to the auctioneer. STUDENT OF THE MONTH Casino Nite’s big winners Jackson Sample and Bogar are reunited – together forever. When the “puppy package” bid opened at $450, young Jackson’s hand shot into the air and stayed there. No one challenged Jackson’s bid. After the auctioneer closed the bid, Jackson rushed toward the stage to retrieve Bogar.

Where The Student Comes First! Jonathan Flores “ So the next time you are on the receiving end of slander, unfair criticism or gossip, stay seated in your chair. Chairs are for sitting and vengeance is God’s job. “ By JIM GERLACH Oak View Baptist Church tional TV, God forbids all retribution. Paul writes “Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.” Rom. 12:9 Mortals, especially Christians, get into all kinds of trouble performing jobs reserved for God. Those who deal in vengeance most often verify the Boomerang Principle. What one attempts to throw at others often comes back around to leave a knot on one’s own head. When we seek vengeance, the person we hurt most is us. So the next time you are on the receiving end of slander, unfair criticism or gossip, stay seated in your chair. Chairs are for sitting and vengeance is God’s job. Margaret’s Corner City blessed to have great group of elected officials Hi Irving! My Goodness, what an election. My candidates? Yes, most of them won. Our hearts are humbled along with our great president. Yeah, I know what the news is saying – provisional votes!?! Well, why do they think they are “provisional”? I guess I need to tell them, folks they were not registered, their may be some, very few, might count, that’s a big might. I got to bed by 2:30 a.m. when I went to sleep I slept so well, knowing that President George Bush won. Pete Sessions won among many others, Kenny Marchant. I couldn’t fight back tears as I hugged and congratulated them last night at our huge Victory party at the Raddison. I’ve known these guys for so many years, so the joy and excitement is overwhelming. On Monday night, I stood on the front roll and listened to president Bush. As I stood there praying, at times out loud for him, some people around me would comment, “We are praying for him too!” There are so many people, pastors, etc. that get really involved with prayer and support and voted! We truly made a difference. I always say, “Good always wins over bad.” I am so very thankful. Many more of our candidates won, our State Representative in Dist. 105 won. Wow is Irving blessed, there isn’t anyone more qualified and honest than our very own Linda Harper-Brown. Irving and Texas is in better shape because of this great lady. Unfortunately, we did lose some excellent judges in our county. I’m not happy about that. Although I did want our republican candidate to win Sheriff for Dallas County, I’m not surprised about that race. Next Saturday evening Carol Van Luik is having her kick off party at the Four Seasons; I promised to be there. Carol is going to be my candidate for mayor of Irving – can’t wait. And the beat goes on. Who ever thinks the political process ends, is sadly mistaken. We need to stay involved, informed and in prayer all year round, now more than ever. We had over 20,000 early voters at city hall. Irving is on a roll, keep up the involvement and responsibility. It’s so important. Every person’s vote is important.

Main Street Festival celebrates 27th year Cup: Ghostzapper wins Classic at Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie Continued from Page 1 His remarkable year and Breeders’ Cup Classic victory makes Ghostzapper a contender for U.S. Horse of the Year. His main competition for the title will be Smarty Jones, who won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. More than 53,000 people attended the 21st Breeders’ Cup Classic, the largest race ever hosted by Lone Star Park. The Classic is the final race of the Breeders’ Cup that includes a day of eight thoroughbred races totaling $14 million in purses.

November 4, 2004 214-675-6493 A two-way, dual-language pilot program at Brandenburg Elementary School reported its successes and findings to the Board of Trustees. The program, in which students alternate between Spanish-only and English-only instruction every other day, is unique in the district. Classes are composed of half Spanish-speaking and half Englishspeaking students. Lessons are not repeated, so students are forced to learn material the first time it is presented, whether in English or Spanish. After one year of implementation in two kindergarten classes, Brandenburg fac- ulty had results to report from no less than eight assessment tools. In most cases, students exited their dual-language kindergarten class fluent in their native language, and four students reached fluency in both languages. Parent surveys revealed that 92 percent of parents of students in the program were extremely satisfied with their child’s learning and 100 percent reported that their child achieved or exceeded their expectations. Lee Recycling Program Lee Elementary School students have invited parents and neighbors to their campus to recycle. From 7:15 to 7:45 a.m. every Monday, students on Lee’s Green Team help visitors unload carloads of cardboard and newspaper into the school’s recycling dumpster. The service is free and open to the public. Irving High Student Honored Dell Computer Now $14999 COMPLETE SYSTEM - 1 YR WARRANTY self/Debes Creer En Ti last month at the Irving Arts Center.

Hayden Panettiere - This is the first! MM -You are out on the east coast right now? HP - We are. We are in Miami. MM -Are you doing a lot of traveling for The Dust Factory? HP - We are. I am filming a movie up in Calgary. A Lifetime Film, so I had to fly down from Calgary to Miami, from Miami to Dallas, from Dallas to LA. Then back to Calgary. MM - Does it ever get boring or old hat for you to do all this traveling? Is there ever a time when you just want to crash at home and stay there for a while? HP - Yeah, there are those times when you just wanna be home. But honestly I would never give up traveling. It is awesome. Especially Miami is beautiful. Mm - I’m looking at your credentials and all the things you have done and it reads like someone who should be like 30 or 40. You have Grammy nominations, over 50 Mini biography Hayden Leslie Panettiere was born on 21st August 1989 in Palisades, New York. She has starred in numerous TV shows and commercials; and she was the voice of Dot in Bugs Life. Hayden is best known for her role as Sheryl Yoast in Remember the Titans. Her new movie The Dust Factory is now in theaters. commercials, Soap Opera magazine Star of the week, a string of movies. Where do you go from here? What is on the horizon? HP - (laughs) I would love to do some serious drama, some action films. There are always new things coming out. I think the biggest thing is that I’ve sort of felt like stuck a little because of the age I am at. I usually wind up playing 17, 18 years old so its sort of hard to get really good material for my age range. But I would really love to do some, just real cool films. Like Tomb Raider type stuff. (laughs) maybe some horror movie, there’s always new things and new characters to play. MM - So you would like to go in and do this whole kick butt, action girl, saving the world type thing? HP - Yeah! That would be one of them but there is room for everything else. MM - Good for you. Some people get stagnant in one type of character. HP-Yeah. MM - Now is that something you think happens because of what you’re reading or Hollywood itself kind of puts people in these boxes? HP- Its Hollywood, they always…I call it they... they always judge you by the last film you’ve done. So if you do one where you are playing the popular blonde cheerleader type, then you will wind up getting scripts that are geared toward playing that same role. Most if the time you have to nix a lot of them because whether you like the script or not you can’t play that role again because you get stuck in that category. It’s hard. You have to go back and forth… MM - Using that as a comparison, how does the role of Melanie in The Dust Factory compare to stuff you have done in the past and was that something that led you to this because it was a different style character? HP - Um, it was a totally different style not like any other film I had seen before. So imaginative, creative and I think it had a really great message to it and it was a real blast to film. MM - When you choose something like this do you have 100% control or do you go to people that you trust like family members to help you decide which roles to take? HP - My mom always helps me decide what roles. She usually reads the script first and if it’s a good read, and worth my time and stuff then I will read it. We will discuss it, discuss the possibility of doing it, and go from there. But she usually reads it and tells me whether she likes it or not. MM - Mom sort of knows what she is doing too. She has had you in front of the camera since you where what, 11 months old? HP - Yeah, at 8 months old I started doing some prints and then at 11 months old I did commercials then I did a soap opera for a while. MM - See dude I am such a slacker. I didn’t get my first job until I was like 19. Man, I’m a loser. HP - (Laughs) .... To be continued... Movie Review Jamie Foxx’s performance makes ‘Ray’ a must-see movie First and foremost, Ray is an intriguing illustration of Ray Charles’ life. Ray was raised in poverty by his hardworking, single mother (Sharon Warren). She had the wisdom to empower Ray to live a complete and independent life despite his losing his sight as a boy. After his mother’s death, Ray crossed the country ending up in Seattle and began making a name for himself. As the movie depicts Ray’s life, it pulls no punches. From early trauma, to drug abuse, to adulterous affairs and illegitimate children, the story does not seek to idealize Ray or sanctify him. Behind the strong, distinctive voice of Ray Charles lies a story that would be impossible to make up. Secondly, the quality of the acting makes Ray a must see movie. Jamie Foxx portrays an adult Ray with a sym- pathy and understanding that creates a completely believable illusion that Ray Charles is on the screen. Sharon Warren, Ray’s mother, plays her part with a perfect portrayal of tough no-nonsense love. Kerry Washington as Ray’s wife Della and Regina King as Ray’s mistress are both convincing as strong women in love with a cheating man. The movie’s weakness is its length, two and a half hours. At times, the movie seems to repeat itself, and near the middle the pace slows noticeably. In the end, this is the story of a completely blind young, black man raised in object poverty who battled drug abuse and became one the music industries most successful and daring artists. When leaving the theater, audience members are compelled to asked themselves, ‘What have I done lately?’. MI PUEBLO SERVICES, INC. Home - Commercial - Automobile Insurance 927 E.

Cyclamen require a bright location, yet no direct sun and prefer cooler temps, but not drafty. The cyclamen is a corm – a type of bulb – which will hold some water so be careful not to keep the soil soggy. A definite 5 green thumbs in my book for enjoyment and easy growth. We cannot dismiss the heritage and soft beauty of African violets. Even though history shows that the violets are ‘purple’, there are many new varieties of colors to grace your table. I’ve often heard ‘they are so heard to grow’. Yet in speaking and finding out more information from the customers, the problem lies in the culture, usually watering habits. Violets love a bright location. If grown in a dark area, supplement the lighting with a ‘cool’ fluorescent light source. And water the plant from the top – not the bottom this will minimize a build up of salts in the soil. African violets ‘hate’ to get any water on their leaves or at the center – so be careful when watering. Water on the edges only. Optimum temp for violets is 70 degrees. Violets are a definite three green thumbs. Bromeliad, a very sturdy and versatile plant that is overlooked for its blooming capability and attractiveness. One of the most common bromeliads is the silver vase with its pink flower that can last up to six months. The culture of the silver vase is water when dry but keep the vase filled with rain water, or ROwater. The ‘mother’ plant will die after blooming, but the pups can be sepaerated for new plants. A five green thumbs. Happy growing! Grow onwards and Upwards!
