Smith appointed Aldermen Mar
tha Chaney and James Corpier to
the task force, upon their volun-
teering to serve. Also volunteering
was Clifton Police Chief Rex Chil-
dress
"It will take some real dedica
tion from the community to make
this happen,” said Smith, “but I
can visualize a positive outcome,
if people will not simply depend on
someone else to do it for them.”
The mayor indicated that a
stronger push for spaying and
neutering pets will be important,
as will a more concerted effort in
publicizing the availability of ani-
mals for adoption to good homes.
"Domestic pets depend on
people for survival,” Smith said.
“They do not have the same in-
stincts as wild animals that can
usually fend for themselves. They
are in two completely different
categories.”
“Everyone can help somehow,”
he added. “Some can do more,
some less, but even giving a home-
less animal some love and atten-
tion can help.”

The downtown area will be
blocked off for safety, and mem
bers of the Clifton Volunteer Fire
Department will be manning
many of the downtown crosswalks
to help children across the streets.
A “pumpkin patch” will feature
photos of the children with “The
Great Pumpkin” at a nominal
price.
Main Streef is reserving the use
of Heritage' Plaza and several
other sites downtown for resi-
dents who want to set up and give
away candy and other treats.
There will be no charge to partici-
pate, but Wilson asks that those
planning to participate in this
manner contact her with any
questions.
“Over the years, as this event
has continued to grow, many resi-
dents have noted that Trick-Or-
Treating in their neighborhood
has all but ceased,” said event
chairman Kathy Wilson. "Some of
those residents say they miss the
contact with the youngsters and
wished they could participate in
some way. We think we’ve found
that way,” Wilson said.
Businesses, organizations, or
individuals who wish to partici-
pate but have not been contacted
by Main Street can call Wilson at

BAND
do just that With only one Div. I
ratine out of almost a dozen
schools competing, he said the
judging might have been a little
tougher for a non-state year than
some expected, but he also said he
fob the judging was accurate.
As for the band's strength, the
way the student-musicians car-
ried themselves was tops on the
band director’s list.
“You could tell when we walked
onto the field we were a First-Di-
vision band. It was going to take s
lot of mistakes for us not to get it,
just because of our appearance,”
Zuehlke commented.
“The judges commented on the
pride that we had, the way the kids
carried themselves. They com-
mented on how nice our uniforms
were, our horn carriage When we
were called to attention, one of the
judges commented in particular
how much he liked that,” he con-
tinued.
Another strength that Zuehlke
noted, and the trio of judges also
took note of, was the performance
of the flag corps. Under the direc-
tion of Angie Zuehlke, the per-
formers had an entertaining and
challenging set of routine! that
was a key component of the band’s
on-field presence.
As always, the band had some
weaknesses that the judges
pointed out, and most were things
that Zuehlke and Bronstad were
already aware of.
“We’re a little top-heavy at
times, and a little short on tubas,
the bottom sound, but that’ll be
changed by next year. Being a
young band, the marching, al-
though it was good, wasn’t as crisp
and clean as we’d like to see it.
There were some small funda-
mental marching mistakes, and if
we were going to progress this
year, we’d have to realty concen-
trate on that,” he reported.
As a first-year head director,
Zuehlke made a few changes in
the band program as anyone new
to the post would do, even though
he’s been employed at the district
for several years.
“My main concerns coming in
were to keep our tradition of be-
ing successfol going, while trying
to make the band a Uttle more en-
tertaining as far as what we do on
Friday night, and also more enter-
taining to the students themselves
so that they want to continue to
stay in band,” Zuehlke said.
“Fbr my first year as the high
school band director, I wanted to
put my signature and style on the
band — picking the show, writing
the drill—and I made mistakes a
first-year person is going to make,
but the rids adjusted to those
when I had to make a change.
They worked with me even better
than I had expected and never
complained,” Zuehlke remarked.
Zuehlke said the rids are al-
ready looking forward to compet-
ing again next year, when the
school will be eligible to continue
to the state level if its’ perfor-
mances warrant Last year’s ap-
pearance at the state contest has
just whetted their appetites even
more, he said.
“It had been a long time since a
Clifton band had made it to the

state marching contest,” Zuehlke
said. “Even though they came in
16th out of 16 bands, they’re not
embarrassed. They’re hungry to
try to do better.”
And though some may look at it
as coming in last in the state con-
test, in reality, finishing where Clif-
ton did meant they were better
than some 200-plus AA schools.
“They can tell themselves they
were the 16th-best band in AA, but
when you have a rich reputation
of going to the state contest in the
1980s and early 1990s like we did
(the last time Clifton went was in
1995, placing second)... the rids
know that, and they want to go
back next year and do even better
Hopefully well get there, but it’s
one step at a time.
With the marching season rap-
idly drawing to a close, the band
will soon focus on other areas.
Plans are for the band to march
the award-winning program one
last time at this Friday’s varsity
football game, but those plans
could change .depending upon the
weather conditions. And while
there is much work to be done the
remainder of the school year, Zue
hike reflected on the past few
months.
“It’s been a fun year. The kids
adapted to me and the changes
I’ve made, and to Mr. Bronstad and
what he’s brought in. They’re
happy, having a good time, and
things are really progressing
foster than what I’d thought. I’ve
asked the rids to change some
things, and haven’t had argument
one, he said.
“They’ve worked hard when it
was time to work hard, and I’m just
realty proud of them,” Zuehlke
concluded.
rate, the State funding level, and
the taxable value trend. He then
ashed, "As a Board, which do you
have control over*” and explained
that the only area the board can
control is that of taxing.
“There is a perfect storm brew-
ing,” said Dr. Pierce, explaining
that nearty every district in Ifexas
is nearing the $1J6 MAO tax cap
due to higher expectations within
the school distnets, such as:
Higher accountability stan-
dards.
Higher community demands.
Higher university and indus-
try demands
More state mandates.
He then added that along with
the higher expectations, none of
ihe expectations are funded.
"There is also the expected loss
of the TIF grants to consider,” said
Dr. Pierce "At this time, there is
onty one more partial year avail-
able if fending is not extended.”
"If you can’t control revenues,
you must control spending,” said
Dr. Pierce. “Each school must be
effective in the most efficient
wav. Each program must be
looked balancing the benefit to
the cost.”
He said that school districts
must become leaner and advised
the trustees to use the situation
as an opportunity to look at what
the district needs, and what it
can cut back on.
In becoming leaner, Dr. Pierce
said a district needs to start “as
far away from the children as
possible.” In other words, don’t
take what the children need to
learn from.
“Don’t neglect the infrastruc-
ture of the school as it can cost
more in the long run,” said Dr.
Pierce. “You don’t ignore a roof
that can be patched, until it gets
to the point that you need a new
roof.”
He added that each district
needs to look at its personnel be-
cause that is 70 to 80-percent of
each district’s budget.
Dr. Pierce added that there
are pitfalls when talking about
personnel, but that tough deci-
sions are having to be made
and it is necessary for there to
be cooperation between the
board and administration, and
the staff.
“All of Texas is making some
really tough decisions,” said Dr.
Pierce. “I love teachers, but

we’re here for the children.”
During the consent agenda, a
question arose on the payment of
bills, and a figure that was on
consistent with other figures.
The trustees approved tabling
the bills until the figures could be
corrected.
A personnel issue was moved
to executive session, and the only
item on the consent agenda that
was approved was the minutes to
the last meeting.
Coach Andy Bell addressed the
Board for approval for the soft-
ball team to attend a tournament
in Marshall on Feb. 27-29. He ex-
plained that the tournament was
an invitational tournament for
the top competitors in the state
and that, at the local level, the
only tournaments were for JV
teams.
He said that the team would
travel by school bus to the tour-
nament, and that it would only
cost a total of $2,165 for rooms
and food. He said that could be
raised by the team without any
problems. Following his informa
tion, the board approved the trip
with a 5-1 vote. Tne only oppos-
ing vote was made by Trustee
Don McCrary.
During her report, Supt.
Marlene Zipperlen noted that
Coach Scott Barnett will be
honoring Bosque County Judge
Bobby Joe Conrad on Nov. 8,
during the Cubs game against
Hico. Conrad is being honored
as an outstanding athlete at
Clifton and in pro hail. He is to
be inducted into the Texas Hall
of Fame in the near future, and
Barnett would like to honor
Conrad by having him serve as
honorary team captain on Nov.
8.
During the meeting, it was re-
ported that 15 teacher aides in
the paraprofessional class at Hill
College were attending the meet-
ing.
