First Lady Kerens Mayor
January 20th, 2001
|
|
As a student of History, faithful watcher of the History Channel, and a compulsive reader of History books, I was just tickled to pieces this week to hear that history was made in Kerens. The first female Mayor in the long and storied history of Kerens has stepped forward and taken the reins of this Texas town. This is not an insignificant event when you look at the harder work and tougher jobs women have to perform in order to finally crack the fabled glass ceiling that exists in everything from politics to corporations to any leadership position where both women and men are competing on equal grounds. (or is it equal?)

Chamber of Commerce Banquet
January 14th, 2001
|
|
It was a good weekend in Kerens and you should have been here. (maybe you were and I just didn’t see you) The KESA Board of Directors held a meeting in the Alumni Center and had some serious discussions about 2001. The details of what it would take to complete all the loose ends for this facility were outlined and documented. The final paperwork that makes us a completely non-profit corporation is now in the hands of the IRS courtesy of Richard Baxter and we are on our way into another new year of activities. Ready, set, go. Raise the flags and pull out the nails and hammers. Time to go to work on Main Street and what possible better place to work could you find than on the red bricks of Kerens, Texas. Relentless, Relentless, Relentless.

KESA Planning
January 7th, 2001
|
|
For those of you who might have a little time to spare this Saturday, January 13th, we are expecting to initiate the year 2001 with a KESA meeting at the Alumni Center. It will start at 10:00 a.m. sharp on Saturday morning and we are expecting to have a solid round of discussion reviewing what we did in 2000 and what we are going to do in 2001. Anybody and everybody is invited to attend where you will have the opportunity to listen to ideas for improving the downtown area, ideas for fund raising, and if you have an idea of your own, a golden chance to put it on the table. We would be tickled pink to see some new faces around the table this weekend. (Or is it tickled blue?)

Year 2000 Awards
January 1st, 2001
|
|
We did it! All the way through the year 2000 and now beginning a brand new one. No telling at all what we might see emerge from the mists of time this year and that is what will make it interesting when the sun rises each morning.
To start things off we will see all of the awards handed out for achievements and accomplishment to reward those who went that extra mile when they could have been home reading a book. Ooops, bad example. I think I read a few.

2001 is Coming
December 17th, 2000
|
|
With the end of the year fast approaching it might be interesting to speculate upon the inevitable changes we will be seeing in the year of Arthur C. Clarke, the year 2001. I don’t think we will be making it to Mars in the coming year although I do so hope that during my lifetime we might see the planning begin for this mission. This is off the topic, but I have wondering during this first year of the 21st century if NASA might have put some funding into the multiple movies we have seen recently related to sending someone to the Red Planet or asteroids wiping out Earth. Sort of tweaking the mainstream public interest in such a venture. Successful funding for such a project begins with the population at large being behind our politicians and the enormous amount of money this will cost. Wouldn’t it be much more interesting to see a checkbox on our IRS forms for contributing a dollar to the space program instead of to political election campaign funds? Lets take a vote.

Saturday Night at the Alumnni Center
December 10th, 2000
|
|
Do you think that women take more pride in being a showcase cook, or do men strut more when they have served up a meal that leaves everybody belching and having a good time? Anybody ever participated in this argument before? If you wait until T-Bone is not looking, do you ever catch him wearing a small smile of satisfaction with the job he has done while working over a fish fryer? I saw him having a good time on Saturday night at the Kerens Alumni Center and if he could strut he might have done so. Problem is, I don’t think he knows how. T-Bone is just T-Bone as he quietly goes about his job. And when all of his work is done, you look around and the Stovall family is right there cleaning up and washing the tools of his trade. This family is a role model for community volunteers, no doubt about it.

Garden Club Home Tour
December 3rd, 2000
|
|
For those of you who were unable to make it to downtown Kerens this weekend, what an experience you missed. Come to think of it though, not many people missed it considering the crowd you had to ease through at each of the beautifully decorated homes on the Garden Club Christmas Home Tour. There were people everywhere!
Aside from the tour homes, there was one thing I noticed and learned from the Garden Club this weekend that can help any project in laying down a plan for a successful endeavor. One other person whom I respect quite a bit for project planning and accomplishment made the same comment while we were wandering around Kerens on Sunday. The comment was “These people are better organized than we are.” Of course I won’t mention the name (Buddy Hughes from K.E.S.A.)

Web Site Changes
November 26th, 2000
|
|
Several questions have come in during the past couple of weeks concerning the changes at the Kerens web site so I thought I would spend a few words explaining where Kerens.Com is heading for the future.
A few weeks ago the entire site moved to a new web hosting service that is listed in the top ten in their respective field worldwide. They have somewhere around a million sites hosted and provide services that cannot be found with smaller corporations or your typical ISP programs. This corporation is focused on web service and that is all they do which probably is the root cause of the respect they have earned in this industry.

Christmas Is Coming
November 19th, 2000
|
|
Thanksgiving is over. The commotion has died down and you probably think you
can kick back, let the dogs loose, and relax for a little while. Maybe catch
up on that monster book you have been meaning to read. But wait, what is
that distant muted roar that you can just hear when you step outside? If
Kerens was close to a beach somewhere, you might believe it was the tide
coming in and the white-capped waves were slapping against a battered
seawall. Reflecting on the landscape here though, dotted with mesquite
trees, I don't think that is the case. Maybe it could be a herd of wild hogs
running from all those highly camouflaged deer hunters that recently hit the
forests in their quest for more sausage.

The Lord's Acre
November 12th, 2000
|
|
Almost by accident this past weekend, I wandered into a community gathering in the United Methodist Church and what fun the crowd there was having. What kind of event was this? Well, the most famous and most visited auction house on earth today is on the Internet at www.eBay.com where millions attend on a regular basis bidding on everything from socks to kidneys. (The kidney item was withdrawn after a protest quickly became apparent.) Ebay is so successful they have their own magazine that advertises upcoming events and guides to successful auction techniques.

Internet Banking
November 5th, 2000
|
|
Have you noticed the increasing number of advertisements for Internet banking and wondered why anyone would move their money into cyberspace? Maybe noticed the signs around some banks in this area advertising free Internet Checking accounts and other cyber financial services? The relentless growth of the Internet in bringing products to you via your Web browser is not being confined to tangible merchandise, but is steadily expanding into many other services traditionally brought to you by brick and mortar institutions.

Planning For New Year's
October 29th, 2000
|
|
Plans are beginning to fall into place for a jolly good time at the Kerens Alumni Center during this coming New Years holiday weekend. New Year’s Eve falls on a Sunday night in 2000 so we are going to tinker with the Gregorian Calendar just a little bit and move the celebration up twenty-four hours to Saturday night instead. Will that work? December 30th in the year 2000. Mark your calendars right now because it will be another fun event in downtown Kerens, right on Main Street.

Dracula

Into the night, into the gloom, there just ain’t no way I’m a leaving this room.
Now who said that?
Well, it wasn’t the Mummy; he’s all wrapped up. It wasn’t Dracula, I think he’s outside. Hmmmm, between us three then, I guess that only leaves me.

Alumni Center Additions
October 16th, 2000
|
|
If you have time this weekend, better stop by the Kerens Alumni Center and peek in the glass doors. Just last week, KESA closed a deal to fully furnish the building with brand new tables and chairs. Brand spanking new, smells just like a new car, and just as appreciated. In fact, it is like buying a new white shirt and tie to go under your already great looking coat. Feels good and looks good.

Aspen, Colorado and Kerens
October 8th, 2000
|
|
Actually, there are some similarities between Aspen, Colorado and Kerens, Texas. For example, if you were to make Kerens singular instead of plural, the number of letters in each city name would be exactly the same. No doubt about it, twin cities.
It is nice for us Texans to have such a great State National Park up there above the Red River in the Rocky Mountains. What in the world would happen to the Colorado economy without us folks from the Lone Star State? During the five days I was visiting during the Rural Telecom 2000 Conference, I only had to call the Chamber of Commerce and complain one time. That was on Monday after discovering on Sunday the Dallas Cowboy football game was not televised in Aspen. It was fairly easy to make the point that us Texans would not be using the Colorado Parks as often if they continued to take the attitude that any other team in America should be televised other than America’s Team itself. How could they be so naïve?
