■Saunders takes programs and shapes them into champions
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
under his leadership as athletic direc-
tor.
Speaking of Madison High, he
said, "Our girls and boys soccer teams
have been in the playoffs the last two
years. Also, our boys and girls bas-
ketball teams, both swim teams, our
girls cross country team, the wres-
tling team, and the volleyball team
have also been in post-season play.
At Grapevine during his first
year, 11 of 15 boys and girls teams
reached the playoffs.
His overall football record as a
head coach is 5941-4.
"1 have been successful in taking
numerous programs which were
down and bringing them back to
championship form," he said. "I love
to sec young people accomplish
things, things which maybeeven they
thought impossible. My goal is to
reach young people and instill in them
a sense of pride and confidence in
themselves."
He doesn't bring a specific of-
fense or defense to Burleson, choos-
ing rather "to take the material at
hand and develop an attack which
most compliments it.”
He said that each player should
be treated as an individual and guided
to his greatest potential. "The players
should be worked hard, treated fairly,
and they should possess a genuine
feeling of importance to the overall
program, no matter how large or small
their part may be."
He believes a high level of moti-
vation must be reached by coaches
and players alike..
He said that it wa£ impossible to
plan how to turn a program around
without being fully aware of what's
gone before in the program. "Not
having any knowledge of the previ-
ous program or personnel, I could not
come up with a specifically detailed
program to suit your needs," he told
trustees.
However, he said there are cer-
tain steps for establishing a competi-
tive program. These are:
—A competent staff with a posi-
tive attitude.
—A thorough knowledge, right
down to the last detail, by every per-
son on that staff of just what consti-
tutes his responsibility.
—A strong off season program
which includes every athlete who
wishes to participate the next season.
—A team concept, creating a
bond or team spirit among the ath-
letes.
—Goals must be established,
both long range and short range.
Perhaps his most important
coaching philosophy is one he lists
for himself and all assistants: "You
are here for the kids; they are not here
for you. Anything you can do for
them is whit should be done."

that attracted over 2,000 riders.
Education is another subject that
interests her greatly. Among the
educational programs she's been
involved with as a chamber execu-
tive are
—Honor Card: a program that
honors good students and offers them
discounts and other rewards from
chamber members.
—New teacher luncheon.
—Mentor program: a new pro-
gram, just begun in January, that's
already proving a success. It pairs at-
risk children and successful mem-
bers of the business community for
an hour each week. "Sometimes a
child can communicate things better
to another sympathetic adult than to
his parents," she said of the student/
businessperson arrangement.
—Celebration of Education: A
dinner meeting where the students
serve dinner to the adults and then
there are discussions, concerns, and
brief talks given by both adult leaders
and students.
Cook has been instrumental in a
retail revitalization plan in a city that
she says has many more empty store
fronts than Burleson.
"This is a program that is run by
, land for the retail community," she
said, "with the chamber serving as
the catalyst."
She got started in the chamber as
a volunteer on the convention and
visitors bureau mainly because she
worked in basically that same capac-
tiy for a motel/hotel chain.
"I learned a lot about the cham-
ber as a volunteer and when the EVP
position became open, 1 applied for
it," she said.
''I've enjoyed Grand Priarie,"
Cook said. "It's a progressive com-
munity that’s really beginning tocome
out. But I'm looking forward to Burle-
son and a new challenge there."
She was bom in Tyler, but moved
to Ohio when she was two and didn't
return to Texas until 11 years ago.
Sheand herhusband Gary, who works
for Bell Helicopter’s Bedford office,
will celebrate their first wedding an-
niversary five days before she begins
as the Burleson EVP.
She has two daughters: Tana
Yaw, a student at the University of
Oklahoma, and Carey Yaw, a senior
at Arlington Martin.
The family lives in Arlington
and has yet to make a decision on
whether to relocate here.
She said they had driven opt to
Burleson to look around several times
and like what they see. Gary, who
grew up in Crane (35 miles south of
Odessa in west Texas) likes the coun-
try, laid-back atmosphere as com-
pared to the mid-cities area.
Debbie was impressed with the
people she's talked to here and the
knowledge that retailers had about
their chamber.
"I'm real excited about coming
to Burleson," she said. "I've talked to
people I know about the job and
they've all been real positive about
Burleson and its potential.
"I want to make a difference in
Burleson. I'm a team player arid I'll
measure my own success (as EVP)
by how much benefit I’ve been to
Burleson.
”1 think the most important thing
is for chamber members to be able to
see that they’re getting something for
their money. We've got to give
members more than a plaque. We've
got to represent them, help them,
work with them. After all, the busi-
ness of the chamber is, primarily,
business.
"I plan to be visible in the com-
munity. I won't just be sitting behind
a desk in the chamber office."

One 17-year-old Burleson High
School student was arrested and a 14-
year-old juvenile was referred to ju-
venile authorities after property from
a burglary of Bennett's Grocery was
found in their possession.
Donnie Haefs, 17, of 405 Joni
Court, was arrested Thursday, Feb.
21, after a consent to search form was
signed to check the residence for
property that included cigarettes, ci-
garette lighters, snuff, gum, and can-
dy. Half of the property was found in
a suitcase at the Joni Court residence
and the other half was found in a con-
sent to search check of the Houston
Road residence. The items on Hous-
ton Road were found under the juve-
.nile’s bed.
The burglary case was solved
quickly partly due to a Crimestopper
tip and a second anonymous tip re-
ceived on Feb. 20. Both suspects made
statements concerning the burglary.
Bennett's Grocery, located at
1465 E. Renfro off CR 600, was bur-
glarized between 12:30a.m. and4:52
a.m. on Monday, Feb. 18. The glass
on the frontdoor of the store had been
broken out
The burglary wasreportedat4:52
a.m. of the same day when Officer
Howard Baker responded to a bur-
glary investigation call. Sgt Wade
Pearcy and Cpl. Paul Lancaster as-
sisted in searching the business but
no suspects were found.
The original police report listed
over $400 in property taken that in-
cluded 13 cartons of cigarettes, 100
cigarette lighters,and20cansof snuff.
King and Aaron recovered approxi-
mately 85 packs of cigarettes, three
packs of gum, 19 candy items, and 19
lighters.
A bond had not been set for
Haefs as of press time.
