Conference
AUSTIN — Bosque County
District Clerk Sandra L.
Woosley attended a legal edu-
cation conference on May 2-4,
in Austin. The University of
Texas School of Law, in coop-
eration with the County and
District Clerk’s Association of
Texas, sponsored the confer-
ence.
This continuing education
seminar that provides county
and district clerks with updated
legal information. This up-to-
date training enables an expe-
rienced clerk to more
effectively and efficiently man-
age the clerk’s office.
It also enables elected offi-
cials to complete their state-
mandated * continuing
education requirements. This
particular conference is benefi-
cial to clerks because it is in-
structed by law professors and
legal specialists.
As such, clerks who attend
regularly gather insight and in-
formation on the legal aspects
j that are involved in the admin-
istrative duties that county and
district clerks are required to
perform on a daily basis.

survivors of all ages will walk
around the track at Clifton High
School’s Cub Stadium in a lap
of hope and friends will honor
lives lost to cancer in an
evening candle vigil at the
American Cancer Society’s Re-
lay Fbr Life.
The overnight celebration
designed to raise awareness
and support cancer research,
education, advocacy, and pa-
tient services in the community
will be held at Cub Stadium and
will run from 7 p.m. on Friday,
June 1, to 7 a m. on Saturday,
June 2.
The American Cancer
Society’s Relay For Life is a
team event vital to the Ameri-
can Cancer Society’s fight
against cancer. The Relay For
Life is a community-based cel-.
ebration of life and survivor-
ship. Teams of people,
including local businesses,
friends, families, hospitals,
churches, and clubs, gather at
community sites and take turns
walking, jogging or ruhning
laps. The focal points of each
Relay For Life event are the
survivors’ lap and the
luminaria ceremony.
Relay For Life opens as can-
cer survivors walk, run, or
wheelchair the first lap. This is
an emotional time and sets the
stage for the importance of
each participant’s contribution.
A festive atmosphere always de-
velops around the track area at
these events. As participants make
new friends and spend time with
old ones, the Relay heats up and
the camp-out begins.
Highlighting the evening is
the luminaria service held after
dark to honor cancer survivors
and to remember those who
have lost the battle with cancer.
The luminaria are left burning
throughout the night to remind
participants of the incredible
importance of their contribu-
tions.
“Relay For Life is as much an
awareness raiser about the
progress against cancer as it is
a fund raiser,” said Kay Kidd,
Bosque County Relay For Life
Event Chair. “Many of the par-
ticipants are cancer survivors.
Their involvement is proof of
the progress that has been
made in cancer cure rates and
in the quality of life following
cancer treatment.”

Postal Rate Increase In Place
CLIFTON — It now costs
more to send first-class mail, as
a postal increase began on
Monday.
The increase in postage rates
and fees affects all classes of
mail except periodicals, which
will remain at the same rate
until July 15. •
The most notable increase is
the two-cent hike for a first-
class mail stamp, which is used
to mail most letters under an
ounce. Postcards increased
from 24 to 26-cents and one-
pound priority mail increased
to $4.60 from $4.05.
To help combat the rising cost
of stamps, the U.S. Postal Service
has begun issuing a Forever
Stamp, which are now available
in booklets of 20 for $8.20. The
Forever Stamp costs the same as
a regular first-class stamp, but
can be used forever, even if post-
age increases in the future.
The Forever Stamp will not
be available in coils of 100, how-
ever there is no limit on the
number of the stamps that can
be purchased.
The increase will also affect
the Postal Service’s Breast
Cancer Research stamp, which
will now be sold for 55-cents, up
from 45-cents. The net differ-
ence between the research
stamp and a normal first-class
stamp is donated to the Na-
tional Institutes of Health and
the Department of Defense.
Both organizations conduct
breast cancer research.
Since the program was en-
acted in 1998, the research
stamp program has raised
more than $53 million for breast
cancer research.
The last postage rate in-
crease took place in January.

updated rates and fees, go online to

interest and principal
