*110151 in the Lord, and do good;
so you will dwell in the land, and
enjoy security." Psalms 37:3.
Opal Maxwell drove to Bryan on
Saturday, October 2, to watch her
.cranddaughtcr, Susie Maxwell,
play ball. She enjoyed the after-
noon visiting with her son and his
ife, Roy and Lois Maxwell of
( lute (Richmond). Roy is still
„;oing, even though he has his leg
in a cast and he is not allowed to
put any weight on it. Opal saw two
of the five games. Susie’s team
won all five games in the tourna-
ment. Opal left early in the after-
noon so as to be home before dark.
She says she finally got rested up a
few days later.
On Sunday, October 10, Kevin
Booth visited his grandmother,
Opal Maxwell. He brought his
friend, Sheri, of Rosenberg.
Late notice but I’m passing it on
anyway. Today is the last day of
the International Gem A Jewelry
Show, at the Astroarena in Houston.
To see all of the gorgeous gems on
display is like stepping into the
foyer of Heaven. If I didn’t have a
Halloween outfit to fabricate this
weekend. I'd be there myself...
Some notes on laughter, the best
medicine: "When we laugh, ;the
right side of the brain, the side most
concerned with creativity and emo-
tion, is more active. Laughter im-
proves blood flow and lowers
blood pressure because the arteries
become more relaxed. During a real
‘belly laugh,’ virtually every organ
of the body gets a good workout! Is
it any wonder that laughter has
been called ‘the best medicine’?
But laughter affects us on an
even deeper level - a soul level.
Laughter imparts a message of
hope and confidence to ourselves
and others. After all, if we can
laugh at a situation, how bad can it
be? This problem can’t be that
serious if Pin laughing at it, is the
subtle message sent to our subcon-
scious. The problem is seen in a
different light, a more positive.
When our actions become more
positive, we get more positive
results. Laughter hasn’t changed
the situation. Laughter has changed
us, and we have changed the situa-
tion.
Thanks for coming along as we
share our news. Call and tell us
what’s happening in your piece of
the Big Thicket.

"Why do they call them writers
‘Cause they’re right, right?!" line
from a Betty Midler movie. Where
the Boys Are.
Peggy Caldwell called with an
interesting story this week. It seems
she is "homebound" for awhile,
with a room full of baby fish to
tend to. Bill says he’s not about to
let her leave him with all of that
responsibly!
Peggy took her fish to Houston
to a fish show recently. Fish are
shown in pairs and each participant
brings a little tank and water and
sets the whole thing up at the show.
Judging is by type of fish. There
are standards for each particular
breed. After the show there was an
tank. She says she has all kinds of
baby fish now, including some that
hide in their mother’s mouth when
they are threatened or frightened.
There is a lot to be learned about
taking care of fish. The pH of the
water has to be just so, and the
hardness has to be controlled. What
is most important is a quality called
the nitrogen cycle. Chlorine has a
deleterious effect on fish: it makes
them blind and damages their skin.
Peggy is interested in sharing her
new-found knowledge with area
youngsters like Brownies and Girl
Scouts. She feels it is a good way
to learn how things interact in na-
ture. And, since kids don’t leam
well when they think you are teach-
ing them something, you have to
sneak in on them!
Paul and Oleta Puyear had
visitors on Monday, October 11.
mj * Jimmy and Sarah Ann Rogers, and
their daugahtcr and her husband,
Becky and Keith Hollis, and their
uoneer.
Peggy says her kids got her into
fish. They first convinced Peggy’s
mother, Margaret Guttman, to get a
tank, and as the responsibility for
caring for Margaret’s fish fell to
Peggy, she discovered that she real-
ly liked it, so she got a tank of her
own. At the time she didn’t know
that some of her fish were egg-
layers. Returning home from a
short visit away, she was surprised
to find hundreds of baby fish in the
month-old son, Jack ClynlOn, all of
Henderson, came to show off the
new and let him meet his
grandparents. And to let the proud
grandparents meet him.
On Thursday, October 14, as part
of the SOS (Save Our School) cam-
paign, Goodrich School hosted
Parents/Grandparents night. The
evening’s entertainment began with
Square Dancing presented by the
elementary P.E. classes in the gym,*
followed by a one-act play put on
by the drama department. At 7 p.m.
a "by reservation only” spaghetti
super was served. Tickets were on-
ly $1 each and could be bought
from any faculty member.
On Saturday, October 23, the
Goodrich CTO (Com-
munity/Teacher Organization) is
sponsoring the annual Fall Carnival
from 1 to 6 p.m. on the school
grounds. There will be games,
food, a bazaar, cake walk, fish
pond, and dunking booth. Proceeds
will benefit Goodrich Elementary
School.
Daniel Waneck is the new Ag
teacher at Goodrich School. This is
his first teaching asssignment after
graduating from Texas A&m. He
has had his Ag classes teach the
kindergarten, first and third grade
classes how to plant seeds in peat
pots and transplant the seedlings in-
to a big planter that the Ag depart-
ment built. Now each room has a
living garden, with beans, pumkins,
marigolds, and watermelons and
flourishing. The project started in
mid-September. Every two weeks
the Ag class comes to check on the
plants. Participating teachers are
Debbie Klcinman, kindergarten;
Mary Montgomery, first; Lisa
Glccson and Claire Palmer, third.
"But as for the seed that fell on
rich soil, they are the ones who,
when they halve heard the word,
embrace it with a generous and
good heart, and bear fruit through
perseverance.” Luke 8:15.
