FORT WORTH (AP) —
Some researchers in Texas
are trying an unusual
approach to combat fire
ants — parasitic flies that
turn the pesky insects into
zombies whose heads fall
off.
“It’s a tool. They’re not
going to completely wipe
out the fire ant, but it’s a
way to control their popu-
lation,” said Scott Ludwig,
an integrated pest manage-
ment specialist with Texas
A&M’s AgriLife Extension
Service in Overton, in East
Texas.

Barbers Hill High School
Skills USA Automotive
Technology Instructor Wade
Brown, has served the past six
years on the State TIVA Board
of Directors as well as secre-
tary-treasurer and this past year
as President-Elect of the
Association of Career and
Technology Educators of Texas
TIVA. Mr. Brown currently sits
on the Career and Technology
Council Board of Directors for
Texas Educators.
The activities and purposes of
TIVA are to assist teachers and
students involved in skills train-
ing in high school. This not
only includes ensuring their
preparation to enter the work-
force with a skill set that will
allow them to develop a profes-
sional career in the field of
their interest, but alsa4s insure
their preparation for pursuing
post secondary education
options.
“I was extremely thrilled
when Mr. Brown won the elec-
tion last summer at our annual
membership meeting and con-
ference and look forward to
having him lead TIVA,” said
Linda Holcombe, TIVA’s
Executive Director. “He is an
impressive individual who has
consistently displayed the talent
of boiling down complex issues
to its bare essentials.
“He has a great ability to
sense when most of the relevant
facts and opinions have been
aired and chooses that moment
to speak. When he does, his
perspective is obviously well
thought out and usually cuts to
the heart of the matter.”
Since TIVA is involved in
discussing education issues
with legislators, it is not
uncommon for Mrs. Holcombe
to take interested TIVA mem-
bers to the Capitol to visit their
legislators. When Mrs.
Holcombe went with Mr.
Brown to visit his Texas senator
and representative, she was
left a lasting impression”, said
Holcombe. “In addition to
Wade’s interest in improving
the career and technology edu-
cation programs by working
with the legislature, it is obvi-
ous that his primary focus
remains on his students.”
Brown has 20 years of teach-
ing experience four of which
have been at Barbers Hill.
While at Barbers Hill, seven
students have been recognized
on the State level and six stu-
dents have won 1 st in Division
in State Leadership and Project
Design.
“Organizations like SKILLS
USA offer an avenue for suc-
cess, and I am glad to offer this
to our students at Barbers Hill,”
said Brown.
“Keeping on top of legisla-
tion and being involved in the
pleasantly surprised to find out workings of your professional
that they knew him by sight the organization is key to running a
minute they stepped into their
offices.
“It was obvious that Wade
had talked with these gentle-
men previously. And I would
guess that he had met them sev- over 3000 cat^er and technolo-
eral times previously; or if only gy teachers and 30,000 Skills
a few times, then he obviously USA high school students.
Eminem treating
auto workers
DETROIT (AP) —
Eminem says he and
Jimmy Kimmel will fly
about 200 laid-off
autoworkers to Los
Angeles for Friday’s taping
of his appearance on
Kimmel’s show.
The Michigan rapper
says he and Kimmel want
to remind everyone that
real people are being
affected by what’s going on
in Detroit.
He tells the Detroit Free
Press, through his publicist,
that news reports ignore
people who have lost their
jobs without getting big
payouts after dedicating
themselves to the auto
industry.
