LOOKING BACKWARDS
From The Files of The Odem-Edroy Times
TEN YEARS AGO -1982
A “norther” blasted in dropping
temperatures with the mercury
plummeting to the mid-teens in por-
tions of the county. This was the
lowest temperature reading record-
ed since the 1973 snowstorms hit
South Texas.
The San Pat Sheriff’s Dept, took
five rabbits into custody Saturday
night. The quintet were found about
11:30 p.m. on FM Road 630 six miles
west of Sinton by John Bremer. They
are tame, domesticated breeding
rabbits and will be returned to their
owner after proper identification is
made.
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hanshaw of
Corpus Christi visited Sunday with
his mother, Jessie Hanshaw and
treated her to dinner at the
Albatross Restaurant near
Robstown.
Mrs. J.B. Whatley visited last
week in the home of her daughter,
Mr. and Mrs. J.B. Pressly of San An-
tonio and grandchildren Sarah and

In collaboration with Del Mar Col-
lege, Taft, Odem-Edroy, and Sinton
Independent School Districts will of-
fer elementary and junior high
school students an opportunity to ex-
perience summer education as a
“college kid.”
In past summers, the Del Mar Col-
lege tuition for this special program,
College for Kids, has been $55. It was
felt that this fee would prevent many
of the children from participating.
Therefore, Del Mar sought cor-
porate support so that all the
children could be offered this ex-
perience.
The “College for Kids” program is
designed to provide area students
with an enjoyable educational op-
portunity that is different from the
.. normal school experience. Students
will have the opportunity to explore
new academic areas, upgrade basic
skill concepts, create special in-
terests, meet new friends, and par-
ticipate in a structured, informative,
non-pressured educational environ-
ment. With approximately 50
courses to choose from, there is
something for everyone.
All three school districts recently
surveyed parents of students from
first through eighth grades to find
out how many would participate and
what topics would be taken. No tests,
no grades, no pressure, just an op-
portunity to explore subjects
students might enjoy.
Classes will meet four afternoons
per week for three weeks at East
Elementary School in Taft. No Fri-
day classes will be offered. Students
must register for three classes if
they commute on school buses from
Odem ISD and Sinton ISD. Odem
ISD will pick up only Odem students
at a centralized location. Sinton ISD
will pick up only Sinton students at a
centralized location.
The first course will be held from
12:30 to 1:25 p.m. Second course 1:30
to 2:25 p.m. and third course from
2:30 to 3:30 p.m. Buses will pick up
students in Odem and Sinton by noon
and will return to that same cen-
tralized location no later than 4 p.m.
Costs per session will be announced
later but will be at a reasonable rate.
A College for Kids T-shirt will be in-
cluded in the cost.
Courses would include Beginning
Keyboarding, Computer Program-
ming, Writing and Grammar Im-
provement, Calligraphy, Aerobic
Dancing, Exploring Algebra, etc.
depending on the student survey and
what is available. The districts will

......aside from the fact that the
college bowls have already
overflowed (except maybe some
senior bowls), we still have the
super bowl, And there’s always pro-
fessional basketball, professional
bowling, golf, tennis, even
volleyball. It’s no wonder some guys
show up for work on Monday looking
like they have really had some rough
times. “Recession news, stock
market news, keep you awake?”
Sure and they’ll be using skis in
hades, too.

......one smart guy, commenting
on the antics in many of the televised
games, the dances, and especially
the “we’re number 1” signs, says
that the reason you never see anyone
holding up two fingers is because so
many of those high priced gladiators
can’t count past “1”. Ouch!
-gfr-
......how about this one: A radio
advertisement was once heard to of-
fer “Ladies and gentlemen, now you
can have a bikini for a ridiculous
figure.”
-gfr-
......just a thought: Our objection
is not to free speech, but to having to
listen to so much of it.

......we read recently that election
year is when this nation really
becomes the promised land.

......from our mailbag: Politicians
have always kissed babies, as pic-
tures have shown, but nowadays,
some politicians seem to wait till the
babies have grown.

......and then there’s the guy who
says, “What with the threat of
nuclear war, acid rain, the
greenhouse effect, crime in the
streets, AIDS, etc. it sometimes
seems as if it really doesn’t pay to

accept the blame for the outcome,
’nuff said!
