Dr Pepper official supports
research into alternatives

A former Dublin police officer
asked the Dublin City Council
to call in Texas Ranger Joe
Hudson for an investigation of a
local officer and all cases
involving domestic violence.
Darrell Cogburn. who also oper-
ates a local wrecker service, also
asked for a complete back-
ground investigation of Police
Chief Lannie Lee.
Cogburn made the comments
during the 3-minute citizen's
input part of the meeting
Monday night during which the
council is not allowed to com-
ment.
Cogburn noted that some of the
police are trying to do right
while others, are using the badge
to get "favors." Victims of
domestic violence have been
known to get roses and the peo-
ple they should trust are the ones
they come to fear the most.
Several have been propositioned
and romanced by officers. He
noted he has a 6-page complaint
from one woman while four
Tarleton State College co-eds
and their parents have sworn out
complaints recently on the
police before Judge Latrclle
Cain. Cogburn also noted that a
number of police cars have been
wrecked.
He said there was no back-
ground check on Lee when he
was hired about three years ago
and that he was asked to resign
in Snyder but negotiated his way
out of a problem.
He said he was in Snyder a week
ago and was told that a marked

The soft drink industry is- on
the firing line as the war on
childhood obesity escalates.
Across the nation, school
officials are making difficult
choices to put locks or timers on
soft drink vending machines, or
remove all carbonated bever-
ages, or have the machines
taken away entirely.
The goal is to remove temp-
tation from a generation of kids
who opt for a soft drink instead
of milk, fruit juice or water.
The drink restrictions have
found strong support from
health advocates, some of them,"
ironically, in the very industry
that has been targeted.
An outspoken advocate of
soft drink restrictions is Mark
Kloster, general manager of the
Dublin Dr Pepper Bottling
Plant, which is already feeling
the effects of faltering sales on
school campuses.
Kloster says his company's
philosophy ’’isn't just the bottom
line." The restrictions are the
right thing to dr), he says, but
they should be considered only
a first step in what will be a
lengthy and controversial
process.
"There's much more
involved in this situation than a
debate about carbonated-versus-
non-carbonatcd drinks. In many
cases, replacing the carbonated
drinks with a non-carbonated
drink has done absolutely noth-
ing to address the nutrition
question. If our concern is the
Trverall health and fitness of our
children, we are doing too little.
"I applaud the schools who
have made the tough choices on
the restrictions of carbonated
beverages," Kloster said. "We
salute the Dublin schools for
going above and beyond what
the law requires. But schools
need help from the soft drink
industry. They need us to devote
our time and research capabili-
ties to finding healthier drinks
for our children. We need to do
more than provide a so-called
fruit drink that has as much
sugar as a soft drink. We need
alternatives which can make
legitimate claims as nutritional
drinks, and still be appealing to
the young consumers.
"But in the meantime, kids
shouldn't be allowed to have
soft drinks as a staple in their
diets," Kloster said. "When I
was a kid. a soft drink was a
treat, not a substitute for milk or
water. My wife and I restrict
how many sodas our kids can
have. But if parents aren't able
to restrict soft drink intake, then
the schools have to.
"There's much more to be
done," he said. "Many factors
have played a role in this obesi-
ty epidemic and they must all be
dealt with.

The board also appointed
Brenda Faulkner, principal at
Erath Excel Academy, to the
board for the remaining six
months of the term of Dr. Paul
Stonum who resigned and
moved to Missouri.
Also nominated for that position
was Marvin Curry, owner of
M&M Service Station. Travis
Barnes, who nominated
Faulkner, said he believed
Faulkner as a woman and with
her background in education
would give diversity to the
board. The vote was four for
Faulkner with Barnes, Bill
Norris. Garron House and Don
Keith voting for her with Mike
Jurney and Don Willingham
voting for Curry.
House had suggested the school
purchase 74 acres next to the
high school for $120,000 which
is the asking price. He said the
school could always sell it later

“iRJEAST CANCER yW¥/\RENESS
MONTH
JOY TRAWEEk
By SARA TALBERT
Staff Writer
(Editor’s Note: In honor of
National Breast Cancer
Awareness Month, we continue
our awareness campaign.)
Ever meet someone who left
you with a a good feeling?
They’re the type of person
other’s ehjoy being around.
They find the positive in life and
are always in a good mood.
They leave others feeling like
they can do anything and
accomplish the world. 1 was for-
tunate enough to meet such a
person and I know that this par-
ticular person will slick with me
in my future endeavors.
For those of you who do not
now her, let me introduce you to
Joy Traweek, breast cancer sur-
vivor and long-time Dublin res-
ident. Traweek was open with
her fight against breast cancer
and hopes that she can help oth-
ers dealing with the deadly dis-
ease.
"It took me by complete sur-
prise. 1 was suddenly diagnosed
with a life-threatening illness
and never knew I was sick."
In November of 1989,
Traweek found out, during a
regular mammogram check-up,
that she had breast cancer.
Breast cancer, which runs on
her father's side of the family,
was the last thing on Traweek’s
mind.
"Growing up, receiving a
breast cancer diagnosis was like
receiving a death sentence. It’s
e.-sier to fight the disease now
and I did! First though, I had to
place myself in a fine mental
health. 1 also had to pray for
acceptance and strength.”
At the end of November of
1989, just after her diagnosis,
Traweek underwent a full mas-
tectomy.
“Since my first sugery, I
have had 27 other ones,”
Traweeks said.
Later, Traweek dealt with a
life-threatening illness and was
in the hospital for several
weeks.
“In August of 1990, I under-
went another full mastectomy.
My blood counts still weren't
good at the time," Traweek said.
A year later, in August of
1991, doctors had to remove a
large tumor and rib.
“I got sick again and was
placed in the hospital," Traweek
said. “I guess you just have to
deal with what life gives you."
Traweek, who maintains an
extremely positive demeanor,
says that her faith in the Lord
has helped her get through
tough times.
"1 just don't know how any-
body can go through something
like this and not have the Lord
in their life," Traweek said.
Traweek also attributes her
recovery to her husband and her
doctors.
"My husband. Bill, and I feel
blessed everyday. He has been
my biggest cheerleader. We
play golf and when I got sick I
couldn't play anymore. He still
made me go out there and spec-
tate. It was the best thing for me.
I've worked my way up to play-
ing a full round now," Traweek
said.
Traweek’s oncologist, which
she has now been seeing for 14
years, has also made an impact
on her recovery.
"When 1 was in the hospital,
he would come visit me on
Sundays. Sometimes he would
bring his kids or we would just
sit and watch the Cowboy game
on TV." Traweek said. "He did-
n’t have to do that. He did it
