CROW FLAT
Dorothy Lewis
Here we are at the threshold of a new millennium. The TV coverage
of the worldwide celebrations were spectacular. The media was able
to bring the world together and convey a sense of unity throughout
the world as we saw each country bring in the new year in their own
unique way. As I watched each different time zone count down the
seconds to the new year, the faces in the massive crowds were all
the same. There seemed to be hope and celebration in these faces.
The idea that the whole world could take one day off from hatred and
unrest to bring in the new year with such grand celebration and
happiness should be some kind of a sign for the future.
The weather for New Year’s weekend was beautiful but Sunday
brought the wind and cold temperatures back, reminding us that
winter is still here. Many Crow Flat folks began their new year at
various celebrations. Being with friends and family is a great way to
start a new year.

Next Saturday, January 8, is the Annual Dell City Livestock Show.
Crow Flat will be represented with 4-H and FFA participants. The
stockmen will show their animals and receive advice and tips from the
judge on what to do to better prepare their animals for the county
show in Sierra Blanca at the end of the month. These young
stockmen work hard with their animals and their dedication is
rewarded at these stockshows.

The Schafer Gang held their annual New Year’s Day get-together.
Many friends and family gathered to bring in the new year. The day
was spent eating, making music, and visiting with friends. Jane and
Jonna Lou Schafer and Dale Leith have enjoyed having their family
home for most of the week. Ken and Sheri McCain were here from
Beaumont, Texas and Earl, Rhonda, and Jason Mitchell were here
from Lovington, NM. Jane reports that Cordelia Lewis went to Arizona
to spend a few days with her cousin, Lewis Bowman. When the clock
struck midnight on New Year’s Eve, Cordelia could boast that she has
now lived in three centuries. Cordelia was born February 27,1899.

Andy and Nora Lea Lewis had their family home for New Year’s
weekend. Janet Lewis and her daughter, Ande Lea Miller, will be
staying awhile on Crow Flat. Friday, Kearney and Sara Lewis and their
children, Wilson and Leslie, came down from Pinon, NM. Saturday,
Gary and Kay Scarbrough came from Sierra Blanca and Dorothy,
Scott, and Travis Lewis came over from their house on Crow Flat. The
family enjoyed a big turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Sunday
morning, Gary and Kay had a phone call about their daughter, Vayle
Scarbrough. Vayle was in labor and ready to deliver her baby. Gary
and Kay headed to Fredericksburg, Texas to be with her. They were
as far as Fort Stockton when they got a call on their cell phone that
Vayle had given birth to a 7 lb. 15 oz. baby boy. She named her son
Conner James and reports that he has blond hair and big “Lewis"
hands and feet. Mama and baby were doing fine and looking forward
to Gary and Kay getting to Fredericksburg.

Quentin and Dana Dean and their children, Shyra and Clint, went
to Sierra Blanca to a New Year’s Eve party at the home of Dennis and
Becky Walker. A gathering of family and friends brought in the New
Year. New Year’s Day, Clifton and Millie Dean went to Dennis and
Becky’s and joined the family for a big dinner and a lot of good
visiting.
Monday, December 27, Travis
Lewis and Bruce Davis traveled
with Pete and Gabe Walden and
their children, Hailey, G.R., and
Billy to Sheffield, Texas to gather
their cattle on a ranch near Shef-
field. Matt Carraco, from Van
Horn, also went with them to help
with the cattle work. They gath-
ered the cattle on Tuesday and
Wednesday. Thursday, they took
some of the cattle to Van Horn for
pasture and then brought some
on upto Crow Flat. It was a busy
week but the boys report that
they had a great time in the beau-
tiful Sheffield country.

WHAT A HOOT!
A woman was telling her neighbor
about her husband Neil’s nightly owl
watching, and described how he got
the birds to hoot back. "That’s funny,
that’s just what Fred’s been doing,"
said the neighbor of her husband. It
seems that Fred and Neil, birdlovers
both, had spent every night of the
year hooting to each other from their
respective gardens, each thinking the
other was a real owl.

Healthy Living For The New Millennium
(NAPS)—Here’s some food for
thought: while many people make
resolutions to live healthier
lifestyles, their resolve can dis-
solve if they’re not sure how to go
about it. Here are a few hints that
may help.
1. Digest these facts about food.
To promote health and reduce fat,
many people may want to restrict
their intake of saturated fat by
cutting back on meat and dairy
products. Don’t eliminate all fats,
however. Explains Vitamins.com’s
Nutrition Director Dana Reed,
“There is a myth that all dietary
fats are bad. In reality, having the
right amount of the right fatty
acids in your diet is important for
cellular health, hormone balance,
healthy skin, hair and nails.”
To help keep weight down, sub-
stitute whole grains such as oat
groats and brown rice, plus le-
gumes, for high carbohydrate
foods such as pasta and potatoes.
You still need to make sure you’re
getting enough vitamins and min-
erals. Adds Reed, “Even when you
eat right, you may not be getting
all the vitamins and minerals
your body needs.”
She also says, “People who sup-
plement their diets with vitamins
can optimize health, lower the
risk of degenerative disease, delay
the process of aging and boost the
immune system against stress.” A
good supplement regimen should
include:
• A multi-vitamin/mineral com-
plex to provide a foundation of
antioxidants, B vitamins and
essential minerals.
• Consider extra nutrients to
support your bones, such as cal-
cium with magnesium, vitamin D
Many Americans who try to
eat right to protect their health
may be surprised by a few facts.
and other trace minerals and vita-
mins that aid in the absorption of
calcium.
• Extra vitamin C for a healthy
heart, eyes and immune system.
• Extra vitamin E to scavenge
free radicals, support the heart
and balance hormone levels.
• An essential fatty acid to sup-
port the immune system, healthy
cholesterol levels, blood pressure,
skin and hair.
2. Drink lots of water—at least
eight eight-ounce glasses a day
3. Exercise. Aerobic exercise
helps your heart and bones. Exer-
cise with weights helps build mus-
cle and fight fat.
You can learn more from the Vit-
amins.com web site, a health prod-
ucts company that has long been
“dedicated to the belief that the
best vitamins and herbs, along
with good nutrition, exercise and a
good night’s sleep, is a path to well-
being everyone should take in the
new millennium,” as Vitamins,
com’s President, Robert Haft, puts
it. For more information visit

RATS CAN BE CHEAP ELECTRICIANS

Georae and Barbara Rauch have had a good holiday with their
family. Their grandson, Ryan Brewer, came out to the ranch on
December 19. On December 23, they all went to Carlsbad to see
granddaughter, Amber Brewer, and to go out to eat and see a movie.
On Christmas Eve, George and Barbara. Amber and Ryan drove to
Wellman, Texas to spend Christmas with Perry and Dawn Brewer.
They had a good family Christmas and then came home to Crow Flat
on Monday, December 27. Amber and her friend, Rob Bass from
Plainview, Texas came to Crow Flat on New Year’s Eve and saw the
new year in with George and Barbara at the ranch.
Tuesday, December 28, was Michelle Jones’ 21st birthday. Her
parents, Bobby and Pat Jones went to Las Cruces to take Michelle
out for a birthday lunch. Later that evening, they had supper with their
good friends, Joe and Dianne Delk, before coming home to Crow Flat.
Sunday, January 2, was Bobby Jones’ birthday. We won’t say how
OLD Bobby is, but we do wish him a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
The price of strength
I am not too sure that the American
public likes the spouse to be too
front and center ... Hillary
Rodham Clinton is certainly very
much a part of her husband's
decision-making process. She
seems much the stronger of the
two. Does it make him seem
weaker? I am afraid that when
problems or controversy occur, and
they will, the finger will be pointed
at Hillary.
