In Krum, those members are educators, entrepreneurs, air traffic controllers, IT professionals, businessmen, and marketing gurus. These men and women are the school board members of Texas. January is School Board Recognition Month—a time when our district and other districts across Texas will take the opportunity to thank these local leaders for devoting time to support public education and serve our local schools. School board members are local volunteers elected by their constituents. They receive no compensation for their work as public servants, and yet work tirelessly for the children of our community. “It’s more important than ever before that the public shows support for public education. Board members face critical challenges in their roles as advocates, and they will continue to stand strong and guard against anything that takes away from our children,” said Mike Davis, Krum ISD superintendent. “Even though we honor our board members in January, we realize their commitment goes beyond that recognition,” Davis said. “The Krum school board is one of the best in Texas, working together year-round to make the best decisions for our students.” The board members currently serving Krum ISD are President Philip Enis, Vice President Donna Hooper, Secretary Doug Willis, and members Eric Borchardt, Mark Cofer, Terry Knight, and Ted Wiley. Serving as a crucial link between the community and classroom, this board is responsible for an annual budget of $ 16 million, 1900 students, 250 employees, and five campuses. Under the leadership of the current board, Krum ISD has continued to improve the education offered to our students. Krum students showed their PRESORTED STANDARD US POSTAGE PAID Lemons Publications, Inc. ******ECRWSS****** POSTAL CUSTOMER appreciation for the board at this month’s board meeting with presentations from each campus. Krum ISD will also recognize the board this month by providing a meal as a small token of appreciation. Krum ISD School Board Members: Krum ISD school board members gave outgoing Superintendent Mike Davis (seated, left), a round of handshakes at Davis’ last board meeting in his five years as the district’s chief executive. Joining in the salute to Davis are board President Philip Enis, seated right, and, standing, from left, Trustees Doug Willis, Terry Knight, Donna Hooper, Mark Cofer, Eric Borchardt and Ted Wiley. Davis’ final day at the helm will be Jan. 28. The board, at its Jan. 16 meeting, appointed Assistant Superintendent Cody Carroll to serve as interim superintendent during the search for Davis’ successor. The board also voted on a contract under which Davis will serve as a consultant to advise Carroll and the board on district matters during the interim, about four months, before the new superintendent is chosen. Davis will move to a small farm near Edmond, Okla., where he will be surrounded by family. Philip Enis President Total number of years served on the KISD board: This is my thirteenth year on the board and the first year of my fifth term. KISD achievement you are most proud of: It would be hard to narrow it to one thing I'm proud of, so I won't. I'm proud of the financial stability the district enjoys and all of the capital improvements we have completed without the need for a bond election. This is due to conservative budgeting practices and sound financial management by our superintendent and the extraordinary ladies in our business department. I'm proud of our world class fine arts facility and the impressive band and choir programs that use it. I'm proud of the incredibly successful implementation of the football, volleyball, marching band, and color guard programs. I'm proud of the staff that we have in place and the great job that they do. I'm proud of the students we have in Krum. I consistently hear compliments from people in our town and from people in places our students visit about how polite, well-mannered and respectful our students are. I'm proud of my fellow board members for their efforts and commitment. We have a board with diverse interests and backgrounds, yet we are unified with the common goal of making Krum ISD stronger. I'm proud to be from Krum. District goals for 2013: I look forward to the completion of the new tennis courts and the realignment of Bobcat Boulevard. When we near the end of the budget cycle, we will evaluate our financial situation and determine if we can (Continued on pg. 5) School Board hears projections for future enrollment growth By John Callarman Following up on an Enrollment Forecast Report presented at the December meeting of the Krum Independent School District Board of Trustees by Bob Templeton of Templeton Demographics, architect Steve Hafer of VLK Inc. reported to the school board on preliminary steps his firm was taking to translate the demographic report into how much classroom space would be needed to house projected growth over the next decade. Hafer, who has worked with Superintendents Troy Hamm and Mike Davis during the past decade on extensive construction projects within the school district, suggested preliminary figures indicate the Krum High School building has the capacity to serve between 750 and 800-plus students. Davis earlier in the Jan. 16 meeting reported that attendance at Krum High School, at the last count, was 508 students, down 12 from the beginning of the school year, but up about 50 from the year before. Templeton’s forecast last month predicted an annual student population increase of between 4 and 6 percent over the next 10 years. Davis said similar spaceto-growth projections would be studied by VLK Inc. for each of the other campuses in the school district. Hafer added that, with the possibility of the need to expand facilities within the next decade, the his firm and the district would be working with a bond consultant to determine how to accelerate payments on current outstanding bonds to free up the district’s borrowing capacity when the need for expansion is identified. At the December meeting, it was mentioned that at least 20 new homes were to be developed in the long-dormant Aspen Park Subdivision on Hopkins Road. This month, Trustee Eric Borchardt said he understood another 100 lots had been purchased for development. Planning for future growth of the district will be part of the challenge facing a new superintendent, following the Davis’ retirement, effective Jan. 28. On Jan. 29, Assistant Superintendent Cody Carroll will assume the duties of interim superintendent, with the assistance of Davis through a consultant contract. Both Carroll’s assignment and Davis’ consultancy were authorized unanimously by the board following an executive session. The board also received presentations from staff and students in honor of School Board Appreciation Month, heard a report from Krum Middle School band director Jack Forbis on a fund drive to cover expenses of the KMS Honor Band’s trip to San Antonio next month to perform for the Texas Music Educators Association, and heard reports on the district’s investments, preschool less restrictive environment, and measurable achievement objectives.

Ed Gatlin, Pastor, First Baptist Church of Krum ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE On Friday morning, December 14, Adam Lanza shot his mother before driving to Sandy Hook Elementary School. She would be his first victim. Once inside the school he began to methodically slaughter his innocent victims. The entire massacre claimed the lives of 20 children and six adults. Lanza committed suicide as first responders closed in. As the tragic news quickly spread, for the first time in years the entire nation seemed to be in mourning. Not since 9/11 had so many people in our country been so moved and so disturbed. In the press, Adam Lanza has been vilified as twisted, evil, the devil and a psychopath who went over to the dark side. Since the killer is dead, the outrage has not subsided. It has been redirected toward guns, gun owners, gun proponents, the NRA and the Second v email: krum@lemonspublications.com A PASTOR’S THOUGHTS Amendment. I would like to offer another perspective on the outrage. First of all, the terror that those children and adults faced that day and the pain that their families are still experiencing can never be over stated. Our hearts go out to them. My concern is that our outrage seems to be selective. You did not even hear about the 4,000 innocent people who were killed on that same day, and the next day and every other day. Every day over 4,000 babies lose their lives as a result of abortion. We can’t call the taking of those lives murder. We call it a woman’s choice. The providers of this service are not vilified. They are praised for taking care of the woman’s health. They usually have Dr. in front of their name. After performing these dastardly deeds they do not commit suicide. Instead, they take their share of the multi-billion dollar industry and live the good life. Those of us who don’t support this activity still support it. Planned Parenthood receives over half a billion dollars a year of tax payer money. Will we ever as a nation stand up to the powerful, vocal minority and obey the Biblical mandate given in Proverbs 31:8 “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; insure justice for those who are perishing”? or said about him in order to feed and support his nearly super-human athletic and health mystique.

END OF FEBUARY The real issue for ArmIt all starts with twiststrong 20% is that to control OFF had ALL DENTAL PROCEDURES AND PRODUCTS all words that were written ing the truth. The fear of exposure has always been a central motivation for lying. Fear that if others could peer into our own souls and see the real truths there, they would immediately reject us. So, we restructure our stories, our own narratives, with partial-truths, and sometimes outright lies and deceptions. We also do all possible to deflect light from shining on our inner lives by pointing to the darkness in others. I call this the, “But Mom, he started it” syndrome. Then, and this part is absolutely necessary as well, we paint ourselves as wonderfully sympathetic so no one will carefully examine the story. If keeping our own story intact depends on others also supporting it, then we must do what Armstrong did: find a way to make sure others will not in some way expose the truth. That’s what leads to emotional blackmail or worse and unending pleas for sympathy that become more and more urgent as the narrative, the story that has been holding this together, begins to unravel. I invite us to think this week about the ways each of us seeks to control our narratives. Where have we so compromised our basic truths that we need to deflect attention elsewhere? Where do we need to control or intimidate or even threaten, however subtly, others in order to keep our own stories intact and free from examination? Let’s spend a little less time condemning Armstrong and see what we can learn about ourselves from his public humiliation.

Three things stand out in my always-searching-forcommon-ground mind. New York’s Democratic Senator Charles Schumer, acknowledging what many Americans may be feeling in the one-thing-leads-to-another department — anxiety, fear and despair — sought to mix a bit of hope into the day, reminding us that “America always rises to the occasion; America always prevails; America always prospers.” One so hopes. Thing two was a quote from Tennessee Republican Senator Lamar Alexander, who paraphrased Henry J. Kaiser’s “Find-a-need-andfill-it” mantra with these words: “Find the good and praise it.” That, given what our political posturing has been for almost the entire 21st century, will be difficult to envision the politicians we have elected to office doing. I doubt there’s a congressman who has any familiarity with the word “praise” when it comes to what members of the rival The Krum News is published weekly, each Friday, by Lemons Publications Inc.

The third element that caught the Krumudgeon’s attention was NBC’s Al Roker, the “Today Show” weatherman, pretending to be a celebrity stalker, hollering to garner the attention of both President Obama and Vice President Biden as they marched by Roker’s position on the parade route. Roker got a wave, a smile and an OK sign from the president, prompting Brian Williams to congratulate him for the first presidential interview after the inauguration, even though it was mostly in sign language. Biden couldn’t resist the temptation to prance over to the barrier, shake Roker’s hand and engage in a bit of banter with him, prompting Roker to go into what looked like an end-zone touchdown celebration. To be honest, faithful readers, the “Today Show” conflicts with the Krumudgeon’s breakfast and exercise schedule, so I don’t know Roker’s persona well enough to understand if that’s part of his shtick … a bit of silly exuberance. I wish I could believe the guarded optimism expressed for the cameras by Schumer and Alexander, but the political rhetoric over the past dozen years has been far too mean-spirited for me to find much real hope. That these politicians may actually believe the negative things they’ve been saying about each other keeps me from erasing some of the anxiety that has crept into my usually optimistic outlook. Mild fear, but not despair. So, what about basketball? — The Krum Lady Cats’ loss to Frisco Lone Star, by three points in a game that could have gone either way, was a part of a significant shake-up in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches’ weekly rankings of teams in Class 3A (schools with approximate enrollment of 440 to 1,000). The Lady Cats dropped two notches, from No. 3 to No. 5, while the Lady Rangers rose from No. 10 to No. 4. Lone Star had been ranked No. 8 in the preseason rankings, but dropped out of the Top 25 when they got off to a 3-3 start. Two weeks ago, Lone Star was ranked No. 19, but wins over then No. 7 Argyle and then No. 5 Celina moved them up to No.10. Krum started out No. 3 in the preseason rankings and has see-sawed between No. 3 and No. 6. Preseason, TABC had picked Kennedale to win the state championship, and the Lady Kats had been ranked No. 1 or No. 2 through Dec. 17. Then came three losses in a row, to Arlington Seguin (now 4A No. 19, by 2 points), to Krum by 11, and to Stephenville by 21. Kennedale did fairly well in the Sarah Meadows tournament between Christmas and New Year’s, defeating 5A No. 19, The Woodlands, 65-57, and 4A No. 3, Vista Ridge, 53-44. Losses, though, in that tour- nament to 5A No. 3 League City Clear Springs, 68-54, and 5A No. 1, Duncanville, 74-32, were taken into consideration in the Jan. 7 rankings, when they dropped to No. 10. Kennedale is now involved in district competition and should win the remainder of their regular season games, and they have moved back up to No. 3 this week. Stephenville, largely on the merit of its win over Kennedale, is now ranked No. 2, behind Fairfield. It had been Navasota that was ranked No. 1 for a while, but they’ve suffered a couple of losses and have dropped to No. 8. Lubbock Cooper, which had risen as high as No. 2, now has dropped to No. 6. Lone Star and Krum are the top two 3A teams in Region II, according to the TABC rankings. Both ran through the first round in district play unbeaten, and should repeat in the next four district games. Assuming Krum wins District 9-3A and Lone Star wins 10-3A, the Lady Cats will be in the lower bracket when playoff time comes and the Lady Rangers in the upper bracket. They could meet again on Feb. 23 at Commerce, in the round of eight, with a trip to Austin at stake. Other ranked Region II 3A teams, though, are No. 13 Celina (22-4 before Tuesday night), No. 15 Pittsburg (234), No. 16 Argyle (23-5), No. 17 Liberty Eylau (19-4), No. 23 Mineola (24-3) and No. 25 Bullard (20-8). Each could have a say in the playoffs, not to mention a dark horse or two among the field of 24. Kennedale and Stephenville are Region I teams who, in addition to Lubbock Cooper (24-3), also would face competition from No. 10 Shallowater (22-3) No. 12 Lubbock Estacado (19-7) and No.18 defending state champ Abilene Wylie (19-7). Fairfield, No. 1 with a 26-2 record, Hardin-Jefferson No. 7 (20-7), Navasota No. 8 (30-2) and Mexia No. 9 at 26-2 seem to be the class of Region III. Madisonville No. 11 (22-5) and Splendora No. 19 (19-5) are the other ranked teams from Region III. If the TABC rankings are accurate, Region IV seems to be the least respected part of the state. West Oso, No. 14 (21-7), is the highest-rated team in that region, followed by No. 20 Smithville (20-7), No. 21 Sealy (24-7), No. 22 Rio Hondo (22-3) and No. 24 Giddings (18-9). With several teams the Lady Cats have played or will be playing ranked by TABC in other classes, the Krumudgeon did a bit more research to see how tough the Krum girls’ schedule really is. In addition to Kennedale and Lone Star, Plano has moved back into the 5A rankings at No. 20 with a 20-6 record. Krum beat Plano by 11. Wichita Falls Rider, whom Krum beat by 12 and by 1, both on Rider’s home court, is No. 6 at the 4A level, with a 24-3 record. 4A No. 9 Amarillo Palo Duro, who topped the Lady Cats by the widest margin, 9 points, is 19-6. 5A Irving MacArthur, who beat the Lady Cats by 1 point, is 23-6, but unranked DEF RECYCLING LLC Steel, Cast Iron, Tin, Aluminum, Brass, Copper, Stainless Batteries, Cars, Electric Motors, Farm Implements, Industrial Accounts/Rolloff Containers Steel Sales * Feed Sales * Truck Accessories * Special Orders Buying All Metals * “Recycle Today For a Better Tomorrow” Open Monday-Friday 7:30am-5:00pm * Saturday 7:30am-12:00pm We Deliver – Any Size Load • Rock • Topsoil • Mulch • Blended Soils • Compost • Sand • Etc. • Flex Base Specializing in: ENROLL NOW FOR OUR Private PRE-K! “Fast Dependable Service” Experienced Staff • Professionally Designed Curriculum • Christian, Structured Environment • Delivery of All Materials • Driveway & Parking Area Installation & Repair • Roads & Culverts Since 1980 10531 FM 2450 Sanger TX 76266 / Steve & Paula Shackleford - Owners ­ Flu Shots are $25 and will be given on the following schedule: Monday – Krum & Decatur Tuesday – Sanger & Decatur Wednesday – Decatur & Argyle Thursday – Decatur Friday – Sanger & Decatur ❥ Prescriptions ❥ Compounding ❥ Vitamins ❥ Cards & Gifts ❥ Sterling Silver Jewelry ❥ Photo Printing Kiosk SANGER 801 E.

Learning Academy Ages 6 weeks through 12 years dered if the USA Today website had a similar ranking for Texas. Sure enough, it did, ranking teams from No. 1 to No. 1,567, all classes ranked altogether. So how do Krum’s opponents rank, based upon the information that had been fed into the USA Today computer? Here’s how: No. 17, Wichita Falls Rider; No.25, Plano; No.33 Kennedale; No. 38, Irving MacArthur; No. 51, Amarillo Palo Duro; No. 55, Frisco Lone Star; No. 61, Brock; No. 101, Denton Ryan; No. 106 Argyle Liberty Christian; No. 109, McKinney; No. 110, Alvord; No. 122, Lucas Lovejoy; No. 144, Gainesville; No. 161, Gunter; No. 198, Garland Naaman Forest; No. 255, Sanger; No. 264, Decatur; No. 367, Prosper; No. 383, Ponder; and No. 796, Bridgeport. So where does Krum rank, in Texas, under the current computer rankings available on the USA Today website on Monday? The Krumudgeon can’t resist the temptation to keep readers in suspense a couple of paragraphs longer, so I’ll list USA Today’s top dozen teams in the state: No. 1, Duncanville; No. 2, Pflugerville; No. 3, Plano West, No. 4, League City Clear Springs; No. 5, San Antonio Reagan; No. 6, Mansfield Timberview; No. 7, Lubbock Coronado; No. 8, Manvel; No. 9 Flower Mound Marcus; No. 10, DeSoto; No. 11, Cedar Hill; and No. 12, Temple. All 12 are 5A schools, and all but Marcus and Cedar Hill are in TABC’s Top 25 … in fact, in TABC’s top 13. Cedar Hill started out the season in TABC’s top 25, but Marcus hasn’t yet cracked the TABC ranking despite its 23-6 record. Cedar Hill is 22-6. Pretty heady company and surprisingly close to the TABC poll rankings, based upon the judgment of those coaches who participate in the poll. Repeating the question: So where does Krum rank, in Texas, under the current computer rankings available on the USA Today website on Monday? No. 13! With a record of 10 wins, 2 losses. If you don’t believe me, here’s the link, as of Jan. 16: h t t p : / / w w w. u s a t o dayhss.com/rankings/ super-25-girls-basketball2013?state=TX If the USA Today computer revises the rankings each Wednesday, well, it happened after the above was written. www.SandJPharmacy.com 940-665-2800 * 700 E. Scott St. * Gainesville, Texas 76240 by TABC; 5A McKinney, who beat both Krum at the buzzer and Lone Star in overtime at the Prosper tournament, is unranked at 15-13. Garland Naaman Forest, another 5A team and two-time loser to Krum, is unranked at 13-14, and 5A Denton Ryan is 11-16. At the 4A level, in addition to Palo Duro and Rider, Krum has defeated unranked Lucas Lovejoy, now 13-14, and unranked Prosper, now 9-18. Krum scheduled games with three Class 2A schools. All three are in the 2A Top 25 … Alvord No. 12 at 20-9, Gunter No. 24 at 18-8, and Brock, whom the Lady Cats face Feb. 5 on the road, No. 2 at 23-5. Krum also beat Ponder, having a down year, easily at the Prosper Tournament. The Lady Cats also have two wins over Argyle Liberty Christian, ranked No. 14 at the private school 5A level. Liberty’s enrollment would place the Lady Warriors in the higher range of the 3A level in UIL rankings. All the three schools the Lady Cats played at the Bixby, Oklahoma tournament, were 5A schools, two in Oklahoma and one in Missouri, but their enrollment figures would have placed them at the 4A level in Texas. Shawnee, defending Oklahoma 5A state champs to whom Krum lost by 7, was, prior to Tuesday night, 13-1 and ranked No. 1 in the state at 5A, with one higher level, 6A. Claremore, another Oklahoma team, was 7-5 for the year and 6-1 in their northeast Oklahoma conference. The Glendale High School team from Springfield, Missouri, was the last team on which I tried to find information. They were very strong last year, but very young and weak this season, and Krum defeated Glendale, 62-27 at Bixby. The Springfield, Missouri, newspaper’s website showed that Glendale continued to lose by similar scores, winning just one game against 12 losses, as of Monday. I noticed, though, on the newspaper website a link to a USA Today website that ranked high school teams. I did not expect to find Glendale anywhere in the USA Today rankings, but discovered, lo and behold, that USA Today had built a computer algorithm that ranked all 579 high school teams in the state of Missouri, not on a class-byclass basis but with all schools lumped together. Glendale was ranked No. 339, way down from a team that was in the top 10 last season.

I also hope to see the development of an excellent and well-designed 10-year plan for the future development and growth of the district based on good research and community demographics. (Continued from pg. 1) complete a few more projects on our priorities list. MARK COFER MEMBER DOUG WILLIS SECRETARY DONNA HOOPER VICE President Total number of years served on the KISD board: I am completing my second full term this year.

District goals for 2013: My top priority is to continue to adjust the facilities and staff to a growing school district. Along with that, it is my goal to make sure that we are always increasing the academic rigor to prepare our students for college and the work force. As long as we keep focused on what is the most positive outcome for students, we will be successful! Total number of years served on the KISD board: I am completing my second full term this year. Donna Hooper and I joined at the same time. KISD achievement you are most proud of: As a board, I believe we have made several important contributions: the hiring of Mr. Davis, a firm and positive financial foundation for the District, the continuous achievement of state-level academic certifications on all levels, a state-of-the art performance arts center, expansion of the athletic program, and new campuses. One of my initial goals was the formation of a Krum ISD Education Foundation to garner financial support for our students and faculty from business, industry and community groups. Hopefully this will be realized within the next year. ERIC BORCHARDT MEMBER Total number of years served on the KISD board: I am currently in my third term on the school board and have served for over six years. KISD achievement you are most proud of: I think what makes me most proud is seeing our schools continue to grow and flourish despite all the economic hardships placed on the Texas public school system through funding cuts. I am also proud that we now have football, volleyball, color guard, and marching band; it just brings so many more kids into extra-curricular programs that previously weren’t involved. District goals for 2013: I hope to see our schools continue to improve on our college readiness so that we can send our kids off with the best chance of success in this ever-changing world. Total number of years served on the KISD board: 5 years KISD achievement you are most proud of: I am proud of the overall improved academic performance and facility improvements.

ACTIVE INFORMATIO White, Flores, Morgan make 3A All-State Football Team The 2012 Texas Associated Press Sports Editors Class 3A all-state high school football team was released recently. Voting was based on regular-season performance. Senior Krum Bobcat team member Travis White made the All-State First-Team list, acknowledging his performance this season as one of the best in high school football. Travis’s outstanding year included 96 tackles, 8 INTs, 2 forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, and 2 TDs. The Bobcats also had two honorable mentions from Reed Flores and Billy Morgan. most proud of: The achievement that I am most proud of thus far is all the construction we have been able to accomplish. Adding additional classrooms for the middle school, the addition to the agriculture science program, and the addition for the band program has really improved our facilities and has added additional opportunities for our students. Being able to accomplish these construction projects during these uncertain financial times while still maintaining a strong fund balance has been a challenge. District goals for 2013: One of the goals I have for the 2013 school year is to continue to manage our finances prudently so that we will be able to provide modest salary increases for all our faculty and staff.

The Bobcats started strong, jumping out to a 6-0 lead, stretching it to 14-4 at the end of the first quarter, and continuing to lead until midway through the fourth quarter. With 4:30 left in the game, the Bulls' point guard, Derrick Stanford, hit a 3-pointer from up top to give Bridgeport a 41-39 lead. After Alex Samples scored a free throw and Blake Arrington scored from the right baseline to make it 44-39 with 4:10 left, Bridgeport began a ball control game. Reed Flores stole the ball and broke away for a lay-up with 1:33 to go, but 6-2 Bull senior Reese Read scored one of two from the line with 1:22 left. Seventeen seconds later, Zack Hughes scored a jumper in the lane to close it to 45-43. The Bobcats tried to get the ball back by sending Bridge- port to the free throw line, but Read made both shots with 52 seconds left. Krum's Tyler Starnes' shot from the left wing made it 47-45 with 40 seconds to go, but it was Stanford's turn at the line to pot two free throws with 32 seconds to go. It took Krum 10 seconds for Hughes to score a lay-up and less than a second to send Stanford back to the line for two more free throws, making it 5147. Tanner Rankin popped a trey for Krum with 9 seconds left, and the Bobcats had a slim chance left when Arrington made just one free throw with 6 seconds to go. There was time for the Bobcats to get down the floor but Flores' 3-point attempt missed the mark. Stanford and Read each scored 15 to lead Bridgeport, 10 points each in the second half. Samples scored 9, Stephen Howdeshell 6, Arrington 5 and Dalton Hudson 2 for Bridgeport. Read had trouble scoring in the first half but his dominance on the boards on both ends of the floor kept Bridgeport v email: krum@lemonspublications.com in the game early on. Krum held a 12-point lead, 28-16, as late as 35 seconds left in the half, but consecutive 3-pointers by Samples gave the Bulls momentum going ino the dressing room. Krum still lead, 37-33, with eight to go, but once again, the Bobcats faltered in the fourth quarter. They had lost to Sanger, 61-59, and Gainesville, 47-44, in their first two District 9-3A Reed Flores on defense for the Bobcats. PROUD SUPPORTERS OF THE KRUM BOBCATS AND LADY CATS!

In a match-up between Krum, the District 9-3A leader, and Frisco Lone Star, the District 103A leader, the home team won by 3 points on Friday night. The following Tuesday, at Bridgeport, the Lady Cats leaped out to a 19-3 lead against the Sissies, but outscored the home team just 30-27 the rest of the way. Lone Star’s win moved the Frisco team up to No. 4 from No. 10 in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches’ 3-A rankings and dropped Krum from No. 3 to No. 5. Kennedale, whom the Lady Cats defeated by 11 in December, moved up to No.3, behind Fairfield and Stephenville. Lone Star 55, Krum 52 — When junior point guard Zoie Miller drove to the basket for a Lone Star score to make it 53-48 with 1:30 to go in the tightly-fought, evenly-matched game, it looked like it was in the bag for the home team. But the Lady Cats fought back against the Lady Rangers. Rachel Wallace scored on a rebound with 1:11 left, but Lone Star’s B’ria Wagner answered with a pair of free throws with 52.4 seconds to go. Both teams had chances to score, but both missed free throws. Diamond Martinez scored on a jumper to the left of the lane to make it 55-52 with 10.5 seconds left. Krum got the ball back on a traveling violation, missed a shot, and the ball went out of bounds to Lone Star with 1.2 seconds showing. The Lady Cats got a hand on the in-bound pass, and it went out of bounds off a Lady Ranger’s leg. Krum had 0.9 seconds left. Wallace curled deep into the right corner, got a shot off before the backboard lights went on, but it was inches long and Lone Star had its 24th win against 5 defeats, adding a 25th win Tuesday night against Carrollton Ranchview. Krum’s record is now 21-5 after the win over Bridgeport, and both are 4-0 in district play, Krum in 9-3A, Lone Star in 10-3A. The game was tied seven times and the lead changed hands 20 times. It was 10-10 at the end of the first quarter, 27-26 Lone Star at halftime, and 44-41 Krum going into the final quarter. Krum took a 5-point lead, 17-12, with 6:43 left in the half when junior Caylee Thomas scored a 3-pointer from up top. Momentum? Miller answered with a trey, Julia Schmaltz scored two free throws to make it 1915, but Wagner scored on a drive into the lane, Miller took a steal all the way for a layup, then scored a couple of free throws to make it 21-19, Lone Star. Deja Snell broke a 23-23 tie with a score down low at 1:10. Wallace accounted for lead change number 12 with a trey from the left wing with 57 seconds to go in the half, but back came Snell with another drive into the lane. The Lady Cats had a chance to take the lead at half-time but a lay-up try by Wallace rimmed out and so did a putback attempt by Schmaltz in the last second of the half. Krum rolled to its widest margin of the game at the start of the third quarter. Schmaltz scored on a putback, Wallace scored underneath on an inbound play, Schmaltz scored again underneath and Allison Beck swished a 2-pointer just inside the arc up top to make it 34-27. Wagner scored on a bank shot, Krum’s Callie Craddock answered with two free throws to make it 36-29, but Lone Star responded with a 10-2 run. Whitney Apari started the run with a pair of free throws, Wagner scored from the post, Apari again sank two free throws, and Wagner’s bucket from down low was lead change No. 15, 37-36. Schmaltz scored two more from the line, Wagner hit from the left wing, for lead changes Nos. 16 and 17, Schmaltz tied it at 39 with a free throw, Snell hit a turn-around from the baseline for a 41-39 Lone Star lead, but Schmaltz scored a putback and a free throw, then Beck hit from underneath and the Lady Cats led again, 44-41. It was Lone Star’s turn to start a quarter hot. Apari scored on a drive, Wagner’s goal and two free throws and two from the line by Snell capped an 8-0 run that made it 49-44, Lone Star. Beck made a free throw with 5:05 left, both teams made defensive stops for the next two minutes, 19 seconds, before Wagner’s basket gave Lone Star it’s longest lead, 51-45. Schmaltz led all scorers with 23 points, including 13 of 16 from the free throw line. Wallace was held to 10 points on a pair of treys and a couple of jumpers, but her drives to the basket somehow drew no fouls, which was a good thing for Lone Star because she had been 21 for 24 from the stripe in the previous three games. Martinez, Beck and Thomas scored 5 apiece for Krum, and Craddock and Caitlyn Arnold added two each. Wagner led Lone Star’s strong, lane penetrating game with 20 points. Snell and Miller scored 11 each and Apari rounded out the home team’s scoring with 10. Krum hit 19 of 24 from the free throw line, Lone Star made 13 of 19. Krum 49, Bridgeport 30 — Krum broke away to a 19-3 first quarter lead at Bridgeport, then more-orless coasted the rest of the way after a tough, physical game Friday night at Frisco Lone Star. The Sissies played the Lady Cats almost even the rest of the way, Krum scoring 12 to Bridgeport’s 10 in the second quarter, 9-9 in the third and 9-8 in the fourth. Four of Bridgeport’s eight field goals came from behind the arc, two each by 5-4 sophomore Bailey Thompson and 5-3 freshman Elaina Peyton. Thompson scored 13 points all told, Peyton 6, 5-8 senior Sabrina Garza 8 on a field goal and 6 of 8 from the free throw line, drawing fouls on drives to the basket. 5-8 senior Tylar Chapa, replacing injured 5-10 sophomore Landrie Walsh in the starting line-up, scored 3 points for Bridgeport. Schmaltz led all scorers with 15 points, 10 in the first half, and Wallace added 13 for the Lady Cats, 9 in the first quarter. Seven of Beck’s 9 points came in the second half. Freshman Kylee Myers scored 5, Martinez 3, Craddock and Thomas 2 each. Starter Arnold, still playing with a cast on her right thumb, was scoreless. Krum, now 21-5 for the season and 5-0 in District 9-3A, plays host to Decatur Friday night. Allison Beck (3) puts up a shot for Krum. Lady Cats Diamond Martinez (5), Caylee Thomas, Rachel Wallace (11) and Julia Schmaltz (20) with their stifling defense. Caitlyn Arnold on offense for the Lady Cats. Diamond Martinez looks for an open teammate. Callie Craddock (25) and Julia Schmaltz get a defensive hand on the ball against a Bridgeport shot. Good Luck Bobcats And Lady Cats.

WE ACCEPT ALL MAJOR CREDIT CARDS Help Wanted v email: krum@lemonspublications.com 10 essential apps for your new tablet By Kim Komando In the blink of St. Nick’s eye, tablets went from nice-to-have to must-have gadgets this year. They’re the way everyone from kids to seniors wants to watch TV shows, check email, play games and browse the Internet. As you’ve no doubt already discovered, shopping for apps is a daunting experience. Although the Google Play store has improved a lot — and keeps getting better — it can still be an adventure to search for and find the best apps. The iTunes App Store is much better organized, but the sheer number of apps is overwhelming — more than 275,000 optimized for the full-size iPad and iPad mini. That’s why I compiled this list of my favorite iOS and Android tablet apps. They’ll get you and your gadget off to a roaring start in 2013. 1. Netflix (Free; iOS, Android): Netflix is a great service if you love movies. You just pay a monthly subscription fee, and you can watch all the movies you want. It also includes the ability to stream movies over the Web. This app lets you watch Netflix movies anywhere. It also allows you to manage your Netflix Instant queue. 2. HeyTell (Free; iOS, Android): This fun app is a throwback to the days when you used walkie-talkies as a kid. Instead of placing a traditional call, HeyTell allows you to record a quick voice message. It is sent over Wi-Fi or cellular data so you don’t even need a tablet with a voice plan. 3. Evernote (Free; iOS Android): When you need to step it up from your tablet’s basic built-in note-taking app, look no further than Evernote. What sets Evernote apart from similar apps is that it synchronizes your notes to your password-protected Evernote account. So, you can access the notes from any Web browser. You can take photo notes and voice notes in addition to basic text notes. You can even type long notes on your computer and access them from your tablet. 4. Skype (Free; iOS, Android): You probably know that Skype is a great way to save money on voice calling. You can call PC to PC for free and even video chat. Skype isn’t just for computers, though. You can also use it on your gadgets. Make voice and video calls over Wi-Fi or cellular. Again, it’s free to call other Skype users. 5. Google Earth (Free; iOS, Android): Google Earth is one of my favorite programs. It lets you explore the world through satellite and ground-level photos. You can see historic landmarks or plan trips. Now you can get the same amazing experience on your mobile gadget with the Google Earth app. It lets you access the same satellite photos and landmarks. On some gadgets, you can even get 3-D buildings for cities. 6. Weather Channel App ($4 iOS; Free Android): The weather affects nearly everything you do. Don’t let it take you by surprise. Now you can get detailed forecasts at a glance with this app. You’ll also get video clips and severe weather and pollen alerts. All the weather information you need will be literally at your fingertips. 7. Kindle App (Free; iOS, Android): The Kindle app turns whatever tablet you own into an Amazon e-reader. Among the handy features: You’ll never lose your place, even when switching among devices. It even transfers annotations and highlighting. You can also take advantage of free book samples. 8. Lookout Mobile Security (Free; iOS, Android): Hackers don’t just write viruses for computers anymore. Now, they write them for tablets. You need strong security to keep your information safe. This app provides antivirus and anti-phishing. You can upgrade to a premium version that includes remote locating, wiping, app scanning and more! 9. Instant Heart Rate ($1 iOS; $3 Android): When you’re exercising, getting an accurate heart rate is important. You don’t want to do too little work and waste your time. On the other hand, overdoing it can cause health problems. Forget checking your pulse manually. Just pull out your mobile gadget with the Instant Heart Rate app. Press your finger to the camera lens and you’ll have your heart rate in just a moment. It can also track recovery time, trend lines and more. 10. Epicurious (Free; iOS, Android): It’s always good to make a list before going grocery shopping. But you don’t always get around to it, and you find yourself in the store unsure of what you need. The Epicurious Recipe app can help. It gives you access to more than 28,000 recipes so you can find exactly the meals you want to make. Then, it details all the ingredients and translates that into shopping list for you. You’ll never again get home only to find you’re short an essential ingredient. Kim Komando hosts the nation’s largest talk radio show about consumer electronics, computers and the Internet.
