Eggs signify Easter in many ways. They are intricately painted and
displayed around the house, and are the featured players in holiday tossing
games and treasure hunts. The tradition of decorating eggs in the springtime
goes back centuries. Considered a symbol of the renewal of life, the egg was
often painted and celebrated in early spring festivals.
Egg handling at Easter or at any time during the year provides ample
opportunity for eggs to become contaminated with bacteria. Here are some
tips on how to safely handle eggs at Easter - and all through the year.
Keep fresh eggs refrigerated until it's time to cook them. Eggs are a
potentially hazardous food, in the same category as meat, poultry, fish, and
milk. In other words, they are capable of supporting the rapid and progressive
growth of disease-causing bacteria like Salmonella. To hard cook eggs,
simmer them in 185 degrees to 190 degree water. Cool them in cold water
or by air. Even though air-cooled hard boiled eggs are considered to be no
longer potentially hazardous food, the American Egg Board recommends
you refrigerate all hard cooked eggs.
Whatever the style of preparation, eggs should always be cooked well.
The Food and Drug Administration recommends cooking eggs until both the
yolk and the white are firm, not runny. In this way, any Salmonella or other
harmful bacteria that may be in the eggs will be destroyed.
Do not handle eggs excessively, and wash your hands thoroughly when
you do handle them, whether in cooking, cooling, dyeing or hiding. The shell
of an egg is very porous and will permit bacteria to penetrate.
The AEB recommends extreme care in choosing hiding places for Easter
eggs. Make sure to avoid areas where the eggs might come into contact with
pets, wild animals, birds, reptiles, insects or lawn chemicals.
If you won’t be coloring your eggs right after cooking them, store them
in their cartons in the refrigerator. Refrigerate them again after they've been
hidden and found.
Don't eat cracked eggs or eggs that have been out of refrigerator for more
than two hours.
If you plan to use hard-cooked eggs as a centerpiece or other decoration,
cook extra eggs for eating and discard the eggs that have been left out for
many hours or days as a decoration.
This Easter, why not gather the kids around, pass out the eggs and see
how creative everyone can be. Let the kids decide which is the most original
or the most colorful, etc. Have fun and create your Easter Masterpieces
today.

erations stack up against others in
regard to production, management,
and financial practices when the Beef
Cattle Standardized Performance
Analysis Workshop comes to the

"The purpose of the workshop is to

cial and production strengths and
weaknesses of their operations," said

sion Service at the Texas A&M Re-
search and Extension Center in Ama-
rillo.

SI50. For operations repeating the
course, there is a discounted fee of
$100, which includes the cost of all
software, educational materials, and
meals.
Each ranch will be set up with a
personal SPA technician to identify
problems and opportunities in order
to improve production and reduce
costs. The data needed for the analy-
sis will include details on the 1998
calf crop.
All information will be kept confi-
dential. Information outlined in a SPA
workshop will enableranches tocom-
pare their performance to thatin other
years, and to other producers, re-
gions, or. production systems. The
SPA.program, is intended to be, a
yearly analysis tool and was devel-
oped by the National Cattlemen's
Beef Association.

A Panhandle native has returned to
Amarillo and recently become pas-
tor of the Buchanan Street Chapel.
Larry Mills, a native of Tulia and
a 1964 graduate of Amarillo High
School is back in Amarillo after be-
ing gone from the Panhandle almost
30 years. After finishing at West
Texas State University, Canyon, in
1970, he and his wife, Dr. LaVelle
Mills left the Panhandle and moved
to Ft. Worth where he was an em-
ployee of Texas Farm Bureau Insur-
ance Companies as an insurance
claim's representative and later as a
sales representative.
Mills left the insurance company
in August, 1979, to enter Southwest-
ern Baptist Theological Seminary in
Fort Worth, where he graduated with
a masters of religious education de-
gree in 1983. While in seminary the
Mills family moved to Stephenville,
where they lived until a recent move
back to Amarillo.
While in Erath County, Mills
served as thepastorof four churches,
was associate.pastor and education
minister of one church and was edu-
cation and youth ministerin another.
Most of theplaces he has served have
been small country churches. Mills
was very active in the Baptist Asso-
ciation there having held many places
of service over the 19 years. He
served as moderator two years,
chairman of the Missions Commit-
tee for seven years, youth camp di-
rector for seven years and several
other positions. Mills has also al-
ways been a bivocational minister
meaning he has worked at secular
jobs to help support his family and
his preaching habit.
Mills said, "Missions and mission
support has always been by passion.
Now I have the opportunity to serve
a mission church. I look forward to
the challenge."
Mills has received several honors
over the years. In 1979 he was nomi-
nated to Outstanding Young Men of
America and in 1986 was nominated
as an Outstanding Southern Baptist
Leader.
Other things he has been involved
in are as a member of the Long
Range Water-Waste Water Planning
Committee for the city of
Stephenville. At one time he had
political ambitions and ran for City
j|e Jfc + 3jC SfC + S|C
Council but was defeated three years
in a row by less than fifty votes.
Mills said, "The third time was a
charm. It ended my political ambi-
tions. God had other things for me to
do."
Dr. LaVelle Mills,Larry Mills wife
of more than 30 years, was with
Tarleton State University while in
Stephenville where she served as the
associate dean of College of Busi-
ness and director of the masters of
business degree program for many
years. The last few years she served
as the Director of Distant Learning
program at T.S.U.
She helped set up the distant learn-
ing classrooms atTarleton and on the
military base at Fort Hood. She is a
native of Wellington having gradu-
ated from high school there in 1965.
Larry Mills said that their family is
somewhat different because "it was
her (LaVelle's) job at T.S.U. that took
us to Stephenville and it was her job
that brought us back to Amarillo."
She assumed the position of Execu-
tive Director of the Panhandle Infor-
mation Network here in Amarillo in
February, 1998, and she is also a
business professor at WTAMU.
"We came to Amarillo not know-
ing what I would do. We simply put
our trust in God to take care of me
finding work," Mills says. "Through
a series of events that only God could
work out, I found a job driving a
school bus for Canyon ISD and in
October, 1998 became pastor of
Buchanan Street Chapel, a Mission
of First Baptist Church Amarillo. I
have resigned my bus driving posi-
tion so I can devote full time to the
Mission."
"I am excited about this opportu-
nity. I have served mostly small coun-
try churches over the last 19 years.
Generally speaking our attendance
was 30 or less. I have already had the
privilege of preaching to twice as
many people on Sundays as I have
ever had, and I see prospects every-
where. Out in the country you have a
very limited opportunity to grow
although we were blessed with
growth in every church I have
served." Mills relates that they have
begun to grow having added several
new'members to the church since the
first of the year.
According to Mills, it is amazing
how God works things out in our
lives. While in college at West Texas
State, he drove a bus to help pay for
school. Now almost thirty years later
he has done that again.
"I remain on Canyon's substitute
driver list. They can call me in an
emergency and 1 will try to help them
out."
"When I graduated in 1970 from
W.T., I never intended on going back
to school but in 1979 1 enrolled at
Southwestern Seminary. I never in-
tended on driving a bus again, but I
drove for Stephenville ISD for about
six years and then came back to
Canyon with our move. These last
few months have been very busy for
the Mills family.
"My wife moved here in February,
1998, and lived in our 22 foot camper
until our house was finished. We
finally moved into our home the last
of August, 1998, then we had a De-
cember wedding in Stephenville for
our daughter and I started a new
ministry in October at Buchanan. It
has been a fast paced and busy time
but we are finally settling into our
new lives back in Amarillo. It is good
to be back home after so long."
"We look forward to becoming a
part of the Community and working
with the people here."
The Mills have two children. Re-
becca Lynn is a junior at Tarleton
State University in Stephenville and
recently married in December. Timo-
thy Alan is a junior at Canyon High
School and lives at home.
