Sign-up underway for 2nd annual Pedal Express2ND ANNUAL OPERATION PEDAL EXPRESS

WHAT’S INSIDE

Riders take off on last year’s Operation Pedal Express ride from EastPark. TIMES FILE PHOTO

The return home for HalNeukirch, Jr. has been postponedindefinitely and possibly cancelledafter he took a turn for the worseover the weekend.

Late last week, Hal’s right lung,which had the clot, collapsed due toa large amount of fluid and air in hislungs. This made it almost impos-sible for him to breath on his own.

The doctors put a chest tube in totry to drain the air and fluid, a pro-cedure that had a 50/50 chance ofbeing successful.

On Saturday Hal was doing finewith the chest tube, although it willtake two to three days to see if thetube will completely drain the airand fluid from his lung, then thatwill tell if his lung will be able to ex-pand. Right now Hal remains 100percent dependent on the ventila-tor.

Artist Showcase to offer different view of Flint Hills

When Ans Zoutenbier and herhusband Ton Haak were fea-tured during the Coutts Museumof Art’s Brown Bag program lastNovember, Teresa Bachman, ex-ecutive director of the ButlerCounty History Center andKansas Oil Museum, was in at-tendance.

The presentation given byZoutenbier and Haak, who own

and operate the Pioneer BluffsGallery in Matfield Green, gaveBachman an idea.

Her idea has come to fruitionthis week as the Flint Hills ArtistShowcase has come to the His-tory Center.

Bachman asked Zoutenbierand Haak to curate a show hon-oring the Flint Hills.

“It was inspired by the FlintHills and the prairie,” saidZoutenbier. “It presents a non-traditional way of looking at the

prairie.”The art, sculptures and pho-

tographs take a more modernisticlook at the prairie.

“In this show you won’t see tra-ditional landscape,” said Haak.“We work with artists that look atthe prairie in a different way.”

The participating artists in-clude Elaine Shea Jones, DaveLeiker, Julie Wagner, Lisa Gross-man, Steve Seymour and Bill

Area cyclists will once againhave the opportunity to ride forthe benefit of soldiers.

The 2nd Annual OperationPedal Express will raise money tohelp fund the packages theAmerican Legion Auxiliary sendsto troops in combat zones.

This year’s race is scheduled forApril 21, a week later than lastyear’s in hopes of having warmerweather. Last year it was 34 de-grees when they set out on theride.

Even with the cold tempera-tures, 41 riders participated lastyear, a number they hope to in-crease this year.

“With our other contacts weexpect that number to be bigger,”said Gary Smith, ride organizer.

Smith also is the commanderof the Sons of the American Le-

gion Post in El Dorado. In the past two years, the Le-

gion Auxiliary has sent morethan 650 packages at a cost of$40 per package.

“It raises the morale of theguys who receive the packages,”Smith said. “This is just an on-going deal.”

Smith said they learned fromlast year’s event and have madeimprovements for this year, uti-lizing the resources of the Amer-ican Legion Post, Petrol Ped-alers from HollyFrontier andButler County CERT.

In addition to being held laterin the month, they also will beginthe ride at 10 a.m. instead of 8a.m., with check-in beginningat 9 a.m. The ride will begin atEast Park, with three routesavailable.

The first route is for young

A2 TUESDAY, February 21, 2012 ■ The El Dorado Times ■ www.eldoradotimes.com

Do you hate to losefriends? I mean perma-nently. As we slowly age,more and more friends“disappear.”

There is no stopping thistrend – unless you decideto become the disappeareeyourself. Class reunions areignored, close Army com-panions no longer exist,business acquaintances aregone and coffee drinkersfail to show up some morn-ing.

I had not written to Lil-lian for several years andlooked for her mailing ad-dress. A couple of phonecalls gave me the news “Lil-lian died five years ago.”

Too late to say goodbye toan unusual friend.

Lillian Zau was born inPeiping (Beijing) China,grew up in Shanghai, andas a teenager ran across theChinese border with a sin-gle suitcase into Hong Kongand freedom. Thousandsof Chinese made the sameor similar escape.

I do not have any knowl-edge of her early life, but itdid surely include studyingEnglish. She was small,skinny and looked like atypical Chinese person.

At that time, Hong Kongwas British and many for-eign companies had officesin freedom-loving HongKong. She was already flu-ent in English.

The National Cash Reg-ister Company needed abilingual assistant in HongKong. Lillian and one hun-dred other hopefuls ap-plied.

Yes, Lillian was hired.She received several pro-motions and one day wasoffered a job to NCR head-quarters back in Dayton,Ohio!

She was soon Western-ized, became an assistant tothe president of the com-pany. She also joined the lo-cal Presbyterian church.Now we can start our story!

Her church pastor sug-gested some of its membersmight like to take a tour ofChina. The number onesign up was Lillian! WithLillian on board, the tourfilled up quickly!

She ended up being thehead nurse, interpreter, fi-nancial adviser and handholder. She knew all theChinese dialects andsmoothed the everydayproblems for her dozencompanions.

One tourist finally blurt-ed out “Lillian, how manyother foreign languages doyou know? Lillian answeredwith a smile, ‘To me, Eng-lish is a foreign language!’”

Hints fromHeloisePICK A DIFFERENT NUMBER

Dear Heloise: This is regarding the fellow fromCalifornia who found SOCIAL SECURITY NUM-BERS etched on some used camera equipment thathe purchased through an online auction.

Many years ago, before identity theft was amajor topic, we were advised by the local police touse driver's license numbers instead of Social Se-curity numbers to identify valuable objects.

The state driver licensing system can easily andquickly be used by law enforcement to trace stolenitems, whereas the Social Security database is notas readily obtainable. Further, driver's license in-formation is not as conducive to identify theft as isSocial Security. - Bob from San Angelo, Texas

Bob, thanks for the reminder. The police de-partment in San Antonio recommends writingdown the serial numbers of all high-dollar itemsand keeping this record in a safe place. If you wantto etch the items, etch your initials or the last fournumbers of your Social Security number on them. -- Heloise

EASY MAKEDear Heloise: Hello from another one of the

gals who started reading your mom's column inHawaii all those years ago. Here is one of my fa-vorite hints: Reach over and straighten the coverson the bed each morning as far as you can reachfrom one side to the next before you get out of bed.

Keep up the good work. I never met your mom,but I felt as if I knew her. The folks who wrote thecolumn for the competing paper couldn't hold acandle to her. – Helen in Madison, Ala.

Helen, nice to hear from one of my mother'sreaders from Hawaii. Aloha to everyone in Hawaii!– Heloise

DE-STICKYDear Heloise: One of my favorite hints is how to

remove the sticky part of an adhesive label fromplastic or glass items. Peel as much of the paper offas you can, and then use a wet dryer sheet (withfabric softener in it) to rub away the adhesive.Wash with dish soap. This is perfect for thoseitems that you don't want scratched up. – M.Whitaker, via email

EYEGLASSES CASEDear Heloise: To make an easy quilted eyeglasses

case, just fold a square potholder in half and stitchup the long side and one end. This is a greatfundraiser for youth groups! – Susan M., Bismarck,Ark.

DOGGIE ACCOUNTDear Heloise: I have a separate bank account for

my dog. This money can be used for anything myDusty needs. The nice thing about having a separateaccount is being able to use the money how I see fit.– Pat Z., Warren, Ohio

Although the requestswere in excess of thisamount, the commissiononly allocated money theyknew they had, not whatthey expected to receivethis year.

Among the requests was$4,000 from SCARF,$14,000 from Family LifeCenter, $1,000 from FirstUnited Methodist and$2,811.81 from the ElksLodge.

The decrease this yearwas because they had esti-mated $10,000 that wouldcome in during 2011 inliquor tax, which put thecity in the hole about$7,000. The city is expect-ed to be back up to$10,000 in liquor tax togive out next year.

The state also is contin-uing to talk about not giv-ing the liquor tax to citiesany longer.

The liquor tax and courtfee allocations were ap-proved 5-0.

“I want to personallythank all of these entitiesfor what they do in ourcommunity,” said MayorTom McKibban. “You arean integral part of the com-munity. I wish we hadmore to give you.”

In other business, thecommission:

• held a public hearingfor a project extending thesanitary sewer from Mainto 501 S. Haverhill. Afterno one addressed the com-mission, they approved anordinance levying specialassessments for the project.

• Commissioner NickBadwey asked if the com-missioners had any interestin looking at Sunday liquorsales, since surroundingcommunities have it.

The commission askedCity Manager HerbLlewellyn to bring themsome information on thetopic for a future agendaitem.

Llewellyn also told themthe state of Kansas is con-sidering changing sales toallow convenience storesand grocery stores to sellwine, liquor and 6 percentbeer.

“There’s a lot of peoplethat would like it to passand I think there’s proba-bly a lot of people whodon’t want it to pass,” hesaid.

Mayor Tom McKibban

also asked about a con-cern he had heard thatbars can’t be open on Sun-days but restaurants cansell liquor by the drink onSundays.

Llewellyn said he wouldhave to look at what li-cense they had and how itwas regulated.

• received an updateabout selling water to Wi-chita.

“We did go over and vis-it with Wichita staff aboutselling water,” Llewellynsaid. “He (the Wichita citymanager) expressed an in-terest and said it wouldultimately be about thecost. Kind of what we an-ticipated.”

He said the question tothe commission was if thatwas enough informationto go ahead with the sec-ond part of the study or ifthey wanted Black andVeatch to come back andgive another presentation.

Badwey said he felt mov-ing ahead was the nextstep.

“I kind of disagree a lit-tle bit,” McKibban said.“Until we know who we’reselling to we don’t knowthe cost of pipeline or any-thing. This is a large ex-pense to the taxpayers of ElDorado. I just want tomake sure we have a goodprospect for sure. If they’rereally interested, that’sfine.”

Llewellyn said hethought they were inter-ested. He said the citymanager’s comments were“we need water.”

Badwey said he believedthey were interested aswell.

“If we can get them to bea water customer, I thinkthe reward outweighs therisk,” he said.

McKibban felt theyshould help share the risk,and possibly REAP as well.

Commissioner BillYoung didn’t know if hewanted other people tohave all of the informa-tion that would be in thatreport, which they wouldhave access to if theyhelped pay for it.

“I think they will spendmoney in concert with usdoing a study,” Llewellynsaid, explaining they wouldhave to know where theywanted the water. “I thinkthe take away from thatmeeting was that they needwork done, too.”

Commissioner DavidChapin said he didn’t want

to move ahead for thosereasons.

“What I want is moremeetings and more com-munication,” he said.

Commissioner ShaneKrause asked if they couldtell Black and Veatch tostop the study at any timeif they decided to moveahead.

Llewellyn said if thecommission was willing tomove forward, they coulddo so deliberately and tellthem to look at deliveringthe water somewhere,which could change.

Krause said there wereother potential customersin western Butler County.

He believed they neededto proceed with the study.

McKibban pointed outthe Wichita City Commis-sion has not said they wantto buy water from El Do-rado and thought that waswhat they needed to hearbefore moving forward.

Llewellyn said theywould start talking to Wi-chita about what and howmuch and in what venue.

“You don’t need to knowthe cost to deliver water toWichita today if they thinkthey will need water in2030,” he said.

He said there was noneed to work up the cost tobuild a specific plant ifthey don’t know how big itneeds to be.

McKibban said he wascomfortable if the contractwith Black and Veatch wasbroken down into differentparts.

It is broken down intoseveral tasks, with who isdoing it and how muchthey get paid.

Krause, Young, McKib-ban and Badwey gave theirconsent to move forwarddeliberately on a proratedbasis.

Chapin did say he wasstill concerned they didn’thave a customer asking tobuy it. He wanted moretalks with the customerbefore going to Black andVeatch.

Llewellyn said Black andVeatch would be part ofthose discussions to un-derstand what it is the cityof Wichita wants to buyand how El Dorado deliv-ers that.

“It sounds like you havepermission to make a de-liberate advance, under-standing we don’t want tospend a lot of money that’snot going to have a pay-back to us,” McKibban said.

CHILDREN’S DENTAL HEALTH MONTH

Making Oral CareFun for Kids

CHILDREN'S ORAL CARE IS SOMETHING MANYPARENTS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT YEAR-ROUND.

Effective Ways to Banish Bad BreathOne of the first things many people notice aboutother people is their smile. A beautiful smile canmake a strong first impression and boost an individ-ual's confidence as well.

But as strong an impression as a beautiful smile canmake, the breath behind that smile is equally impor-tant. Bad breath, for example, can quickly negate agood smile, no matter how beautiful it is. While whatyou eat plays a role in whether or not you have badbreath, other factors influence how your breathsmells as well.

Lifestyle HabitsCertain lifestyle habits strongly influence an indi-vidual's breath. People who do not brush or flossdaily, for instance, are far more likely to have badbreath. That's because food particles remain inthe teeth after eating, promoting the growth ofbacteria between teeth, on the tongue andaround the gums. That bacterial growth resultsin bad breath.

Another factor that contributes to bad breath issmoking or chewing tobacco. Tobacco-basedproducts are very detrimental to a person's oralhygiene, causing bad breath but potentially con-tributing to gum irritation, stained teeth and a re-duced ability to taste foods as well.

Individual Health.

Bad breath isn't always a reflection of a person'sdiet or lifestyle choices. Sometimes bad breathmight be indicative of a larger issue such as gumdisease. As plaque builds up on the teeth, the re-sulting bacteria cause toxins to form in themouth. Those toxins irritate the gums. Whilegum irritation is often painful enough, allowing itto go untreated can result in worse problems, in-cluding damage to the jawbone.

Other ailments can contribute to bad breath aswell. In addition to diabetes, liver or kidney prob-lems can contribute to bad breath, as canchronic respiratory problems such as bronchitisor pneumonia. Acid reflux can also contribute tobad breath.

To learn more about oral hygiene, visit the Ameri-can Dental Association Web site at www.ada.org.

To make oral care more fun for children, Dr. Salzer offerssome of her best tips:

❯ Parents should brush their teeth withtheir child to set a good example. It

also helps children to learn by watchingand imitating their parent.

❯ Sing your child's favorite song, like"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," or play a

song from their favorite singer for thetwo minutes while they are brushing theirteeth.

❯ Give your child a toothbrush that isdesigned to appeal to a toddler who

is learning to brush and whose babyteeth are growing in, like Oral-B Stages 2,which is designed to effectively reach allteeth, with its narrow head, simple bristlepattern and Power Tip.

- For younger children, when their firstteeth begin to appear, parents shouldbrush teeth using a child-sized, soft-bris-tled toothbrush with a cushioned head tohelp protect babies' tender gums, likeOral-B Stage 1 toothbrush.

❯ It's important that children two andolder use fluoridated toothpaste to

help prevent decay as their teeth contin-ue to develop. One such toothpaste, Oral-B Stages, provides effective cavity pro-tection in a kid-tested, mild formula gelthat comes in fun flavors that kids love,like "Fruit Burst" or "Princess Bub-blegum."For additional information about chil-dren's oral care and to get more of Dr.Salzer's expert oral health tips, visitwww.oralb.com/smilestages.

There are several times during the yearwhen oral care is especially important.For example, Halloween, the winter

holidays, Valentine's Day and Easter are alllarge candy-eating times in the year, makingit essential to take the time now to teach chil-dren the importance of maintaining goodoral health.

"Tooth decay is the most common chronicchildhood disease, so it's important to teachchildren effective tooth brushing habits, es-

pecially around the holidays, when childrenare typically consuming more sweets thanusual," says dentist and mom Dr. JenniferSalzer.Oral care isn't usually a top priority for chil-dren and teeth cleaning may even be consid-ered a chore to kids, which is why it is so im-portant for parents to get involved and teachchildren the importance of proper oral careearly on in their children's lives.

More than 3,850 ButlerCounty taxpayers re-ceived more than $8.1million in Earned IncomeTax Credits (EITC) lastyear, an average of$2,102.

“The EITC can put anextra $464 to $5,751 intothe pockets of low in-come working individualsand families,” said IRSspokesman MichaelDevine. “If they qualifyand claim the credit, theycould pay less federal taxor even receive a refundbeyond the amount oftax withheld.”

The EITC was createdin 1975 in part to offsetthe burden of Social Se-

curity taxes and to serveas a work incentive.

In Kansas, more than211,000 low- to moder-ate-income workers re-ceived more than $450million in EITC, an aver-age of $2,110 per return.

The IRS estimates fourout of five eligible tax-payers claim this taxcredit, but some do notbecause they are unawareof the EITC or they don’tknow how to claim it.

Those eligible to claimEITC but don’t includenon-English speakers, in-dividuals who are self-employed or have servicejobs in private house-holds, childless taxpay-ers, rural residents andrecipients of other typesof public assistance such

as food stamps. New parents, grand-

parents raising grand-children and foster par-ents may not realize theyqualify.

Some families, suchas those in the militaryand those raising chil-dren with disabilities,may not realize there arespecial rules that mayhelp them qualify.

To make it easier to de-termine eligibility for thiscredit, the IRS has a self-help tool, the EITC As-sistant at the irs.gov Website.

The program answersquestions about eligibil-ity, filing status, qualify-ing children and creditamount. It is also is avail-able in Spanish.

This 1991 tour took us ona wonderful trip by air toseveral interior cities, eachwith a history includingKweilin where GeneralChennault and his “FlyingTigers” met and gave theJapanese their first defeatsin World War II.

Sadly, I knew more aboutthis event in history thanthe locals. Our guide hadnever heard about the Fly-ing Tigers. English isstressed in the schools –but American culture isnot!

Next came a leisurelyvoyage down the Yangtzeriver. One incident standsout. We visited a small river-side village.

The weather was darkand raining. Our ship was

in sight, but down 90 steep,stone steps to water level, nohand rails.

A young Chinese boycame up to my wife to helpher down those treacheroussteps. We thought that wasvery kind act. Lillianthought otherwise. Shechewed out that poor littleboy in every Chinese cussword she knew. Lillian thenexplained. “That was noboy scout. He is a pick-pocket looking for a gullibletourist.”

We traveled down theYangtze river in a large shipfilled with perhaps a thou-sand passengers. Lilliandisappeared, but showedup at the next meal. She ateat the Captain’s table! Nomatter where we went ourgroup always seemed to befirst in line! All our mealswere excellent while wewere in China. If some-

thing seemed a bit peculiar,there were plenty of choic-es. We gained weight onthe trip!

Our final lap was a rail-road trip from Canton toHong Kong. Thirteen railcars long and every seatsold out! In Hong Kong,Lillian stood by the passportline till each of our mem-bers was safely on Britishsoil. “I guess I’ll get the lug-gage,” she announced anddisappeared.

How does one scrawnylittle woman handle theluggage for a dozen people!Abruptly, a big overheaddoor opens and Lillianmarches in, followed by abig tractor pulling a cart fullof suitcases. Every singlepiece we owned was on thecart – and no extras.

We learned the truth,“Never leave home with-out a Lillian.”

Lakepoint Nursing Center of Augus-ta received an Exemplary Award fromthe Kansas Department on Aging inJanuary.

A licensure and certification resurveycompleted in January 2012 found thatLakepoint Nursing Center had imple-mented quality care programs that re-sulted in exemplary positive residentcare and quality of life outcomes. As aresult of the admirable findings of thesurvey, the state surveyors then rec-ommended to the Kansas Secretary onAging that Lakepoint receive an Ex-emplary Award.

Specifically, Lakepoint was found tohave developed and implemented cre-ative and innovative activity programswhich meet the needs of residents withvarying abilities, interests and levels offunctioning and to have developed cre-ative methods for meeting the nutri-tional needs and personal food prefer-ences of residents.

Secretary on Aging Shawn Sullivansaid, in a letter to Lakepoint, that “thisperformance and your facility’s recordof quality of care and cooperation withthe regulatory process justify personalrecognition by this Department. I com-mend you and your staff on enhancingthe lives of your residents.”

Few skilled nursing centers receive anExemplary Award, with only one homereceiving an Award during calendaryear 2011.

“I am very proud of and would like tothank Lakepoint Nursing Center ofAugusta for providing such ideal care totheir residents. I know that it requiresthe concerted effort of each and everystaff member to achieve such a no-table award,” said Cindy Luxem, presi-dent and CEO of the Kansas HealthCare Association. “An exemplary awardis very impressive because it meansthat those responsible for surveyingand regulating the nursing center havefound the care to be so deserving thatit merits award. The members of theKansas Health Care Association are

devoted to providing the absolute bestcare possible despite financial restric-tions handed to us from state and fed-

eral budgets, and we will certainly beutilizing Lakepoint Nursing Center’s ob-vious expertise in this area.”

I recently spoke at an El DoradoChamber of Commerce event where Iwas able to talk about all of the greatsuccess El Dorado Main Street teamsand volunteers have accomplished inthe last year. I found a quote I havelatched onto because it relates somuch towhat our vol-unteers dofor the com-munity everytime theyhelp us.

Steve Jobssaid, “Every-one here hasthe sensethat rightnow is one ofthose mo-ments whenwe are influ-encing thefuture.”

I realize that when Steve Jobs saidthis, he was probably unveiling somefantastic new technology. I like tothink whenever we are doing work fordowntown El Dorado, this is true aswell. Every time we help open a newbusiness, bring people downtown toshop, or help save a historic building,we are influencing the future. Ourdowntown has held strong for over100 years and the only way to keep ithere another 100 years is to take careof it. While downtown El Dorado hashad years where it was stronger thanothers, it is still here and a very im-portant part of our community.

Recently, we researched the totalnumber of buildings in the down-town district. Did you know thereare 120 of them? I was very surprisedby this number. While counting thebuildings, we also made note whichwere occupied and which were not. Iam very happy to report that down-town El Dorado is 87 percent occu-pied. Of the 13 percent vacant, manyof those are currently under con-struction or have plans of being re-used and re-purposed. In this econ-omy an 87 percent occupied rate is ex-tremely good when compared to oth-er downtowns across Kansas and theUnited States.

In the past year more than 8,500people have attended events that wereheld by El Dorado Main Street. Wepromoted downtown El Dorado inmore than 20 media outlets last yearthat spanned the entire state. Morethan $600,000 was re-invested indowntown buildings in 2011 throughrenovations and maintenance bybuilding owners. Eight buildings weresold in the downtown district whichresulted in $2,500,000 in propertysales. El Dorado Main Street is cur-rently assisting in a $1,200,000 proj-ect to bring two downtown buildings“back to life.” Everything we do is in-fluencing the future. I thank all of ourpartners, investors and volunteers forhelping accomplish all of this. Wecan only continue this progress withyour help.

I am stopped very regularly in thegrocery store or while I am out-and-about. I am told how much they sup-port the work El Dorado Main Streetis doing and say such nice compli-ments. If you are willing to help by be-ing a volunteer or by financially con-tributing to this organization, wegreatly appreciate it. You can call 321-3088 or mail your donation to El Do-rado Main Street, P.O. Box 1281, ElDorado, KS 67042.

We are a non-profit organizationand we struggle financially to be ableto do as much for the downtown dis-trict as we possibly can. An investmentin El Dorado Main Street is an in-vestment in the future of our com-munity.

Wildcats send four to state, Edson’s move on for Circle

The Wildcats boys dropped their third con-secutive game with a loss this past Friday atRose Hill 49-47.

“We played well enough defensively, giv-ing up 49 points, but that point total could'vebeen lower if we had competed better on thedefensive boards. Offensively, we were 91%shot efficient which is very good, but hadtrouble getting our shots to scorepoints,” said head coach GaryMelcher.

El Dorado held an early leadin the game at 5-3 after onequarter, but Rose Hill had itsbest scoring quarter of the game with19 points in the second to the Wildcats 15points to take a one bucket lead at half at 22-20.

The Wildcats regained their one point leadafter the third quarter at 34-33.

Rose Hill outscored the Cats in the final pe-riod by three points at 16-13 and held on towin.

“We've shown improvement the last 3games in areas that were deficient earlier inthe season. We are getting closer and closerto where we want to be in terms of our play.I hope there's enough season left for us toreach the consistency necessary to play a sol-id 32 minutes,” said Melcher.

Leading the Wildcats offensively wasTravis House with 13 points including twothree-pointers and going 7-12 from the line.Alex Brown also had 13 points including onethree-pointer. Michael Riedl had 6 points ontwo three-point conversions. Aaron Riffelscored 5 points and Sam Haines dropped in4 points.

The Lady Wildcats were beaten in theirgame with Rose Hill 58-34.

“The team played hard for 32 minutes, wejust didn’t shoot the ball well again. Rose Hillis a deep and talented team, and on Fridaythey shot it very well, especially in the secondhalf,” said head coach Kevin Wishart.

The Rockets soared out to an early lead onthe Lady Wildcats after one at 13-5 and con-tinue to pressure El Dorado.

Rose Hill limited the Wildcats tojust 13 points in the first half

meanwhile scoring 25 pointsand maintaining their lead therest of the ball game.

“We were able to scrap ourway back within three possessions

a couple of times in the second halfwhich was encouraging; it shows we still havesome fight in us despite our struggles toscore,” said Wishart.

The Rockets out scored the Lady Wildcats33-21 in the second half to pace El Doradofor the double figure win.

Leading the Wildcats’ offense was AndreaValadez with a game high 21 points includ-ing three three-point makes and going 2-6from the charity stripe. Hannah Helferichscored 9 points for El Dorado and was 3-6from the line. Erin Hildreth and KristenWalker each had two points a piece to roundout the scoring effort for the Wildcats.

“Andrea and Hannah both had solid nightson both ends of the floor,” said Wishart.

With a history dating back 75 years,Taco Tico is one of the older restau-rants in El Dorado.

Throughout those years they haveseen changes and updates, with themost recent remodeling completed lastyear, when they completely redid theinside of the building.

They repainted the inside and re-decorated, as well as replaced thebooths with tables, creating a moreopen dining area.

Misty Stevens, manager, said theyhave received a lot of comments on theremodel.

“Everybody was so amazed at howit had changed,” she said. “They real-ly love it.”

For those craving some Mexicanfood, they offer everything from tacosand burritos to taco burgers andmore.

“A lot of people order our loadedtostada,” Stevens said, “which is one ofour best selling items, as well as our en-chilada dinners.”

They also offer a $4.50 special everyday.

“They are the old specials that we

brought back,” she said. “We havethose Monday through Sunday.”

Then on Tuesdays and Sundaysthey also have 75 cent crispy corntacos or soft flour tacos.

Stevens came to the El Dora-do Taco Tico right after the re-model last year.

“I’m a people person,” she said.“I always make sure our customersare very well taken care of. It is allabout the business and running it.

“I expect my employees to be apeople person.”

Some of the practices she hasimplemented include taking

the trays out to customers,as well as checking on

their customers.“We appreciate

their business verymuch,” she said.

She also has plans to continue im-proving the inside of the restaurant.

“A lot of things are changing around

h e r e , ”Stevens said.

She is going to start putting sportsjerseys from the different schools in ElDorado up on the walls.

“We want to get involved with theschools,” she said.

She has already got a team jerseyfrom Prairie Bowl, which will be hungon one of the walls.

“I am going to have one side with thehistory of El Dorado and on the oth-er side put up the jerseys,” she said. “Iwant to show we are supportive of thesurrounding area.”

BRIDGETIPPING PARTNER TO YOUR WISHBY PHILLIP ALDER

Our favorite orator, A.N. Other, said,"The tipping custom originated in Eng-land when small sums were droppedinto a box marked T.I.P.S. -- To InsurePrompt Service."

We have bridge bids that tip our handto partner -- as in today's deal. Look atNorth's hand. He opens one club, Eastovercalls one diamond, South respondsone spade, and West passes. Whatshould North do now?

South ends in three no-trump. Westleads the diamond nine. How shouldSouth plan the play?

In the bidding, North was planning tojump-rebid two no-trump to show hisstrong balanced hand. Now, though, hecannot bid no-trump without a diamondstopper. How can he show his high-cardpower?

North should cue-bid East's suit, re-bidding two diamonds. This announcesa maximum opening and forces togame. Typically, opener will not have astopper in the overcaller's suit. Respon-der is asked to do something descrip-tive, with the top of the list being bid-ding no-trump with something re-spectable in diamonds.

Here, South rebids two no-trump, andNorth raises to game.

South has only four top tricks: two

spades and two diamonds (given thelead). He can get four winners fromclubs, so also needs one heart trick.When you have two stoppers in the suitthey've led and two high cards to driveout, the normal rule is to duck the firsttrick.

South wins the second diamond andplays on clubs. When West takes his ace,he does not have a diamond to lead.
