    On the Record

    Milam County TRIAD
    A born again Christian
    from the land down-
    under needs help disparately,
    so she contacts a lady living
    in Cameron, Texas.
    The fi rst question that pops
    into mind is: Why not fi nd
    help closer to the prob-
    lem? Without knowing the
    particulars of this plea, You
    still wonder about the logic
    in seeking help from some
    living in a foreign country.
    Distance has problems built
    into a situation, doesn’t it?
    There is a lot of saltwater
    between Australia and the
    United States of America.
    Maybe Deborah Calvert
    Herman, a 50 year old widow
    born in Australia and living in
    Malaysia, forgot her geog-
    raphy that should have been
    learned in elementary school.
    Mankind is shrinking the
    world with satellites, tele-
    phones, cell phones, comput-
    ers and other inventions that
    bring people closer together,
    but really, would you thing
    of sending a plea for help to
    people you have never met
    and probably will never see?
    Most of us would think of
    a relative or close friend to
    contact when trouble arrives.
    All Milam County TRIAD
    knows, about this case, is
    what is written in the email
    sent to Roselee Mandrick.
    The greeting “Attn: Beloved,
    Good Morning; It does not
    mention anyone by name.
    Why not?
    Well most likely they have
    the email address but not the
    name that goes with it. This is
    important to know. It seems
    to suggest that everything that
    travels through our comput-
    ers is from an acquaintance
    of ours. Scam senders are
    phishing for information and
    are very skilled in getting bits
    and pieces and put collected
    data together in a meaningful
    manner.
    Piece by piece your identity
    begins to take form. Bit by
    bit your identity is known
    and soon after you become a
    prime time victim.
    The information in the email
    is very informative. It starts
    with: “Greetings with all
    humanity.” The email reader
    learns in the fi rst paragraph
    that Mrs. Deborah Calvert
    Herman is very ill with lung
    cancer in an advanced stage.
    Her doctors give her a year
    to live.
    In the second paragraph
    Herman became a wealthy
    widow fi ve years ago when
    she inherited the family busi-
    ness along with her husband’s
    wealth. She cannot take the
    money with her so she has
    decided to develop churches
    in Africa, The United States
    of America, Asia, and Eu-
    rope. The total amount is not
    told but it does state that $25
    million U.S. dollars will go
    to the less fortunate. Roselee
    received the notice so she
    was chosen to develop the
    church in our country. That
    is logical, isn’t it? It is also
    logical to think Mrs. Herman
    has $100 million dollars to
    give away in the following
    year.
    The email further explains
    that these funds are with her
    in Malaysia in a security
    company. The information
    requested will release the
    funds as soon after it arrives
    in the hands of Herman. In
    other words, the quicker
    the response the faster the
    money will be sent to the
    Mandrick’s bank account.
    Please send the following:
    your name in full; your ad-
    dress; your company and its
    address; Your Marital Status;
    Religion; Sex; Fax Number
    and your telephone number
    to Deborah Calvert Herman.
    Mrs. Herman will forward
    the information to her past
    husband’s attorney. Then
    her husband’s attorney will
    forward it to the church
    attorney friend of his. The
    church attorney is a Christian
    so she is confi dent he will
    perform his duties in an hon-
    est and professional manner.
    Then she writes “I await your
    urgent reply” and gives her
    email address.
    Mr. Herman signs the email
    as “Your Sister” Mr. Deborah
    Calvert Herman.

    Third person
    indicted in child’s
    drowning death
    Another family member has
    been indicted in connection
    with the July drowning death
    of a child.
    According to District At-
    torney Bill Torrey, John Ethan
    Furnace, 21, was indicted for
    second-degree manslaughter
    by the Milam County grand
    jury last week.
    The younger Furnace and
    his father, John Earl Furnace,
    Jr., 48, were caring for three
    children of Victoria Furnace,
    when 11 month-old Benjamin
    Castro drowned in a bathtub at
    their Rockdale home on July
    19.
    The older Furnace, grand-
    father of the children, was
    indicted Sept. 17 on charges of
    second-degree manslaughter
    and state jail felony abandon/
    endanger a child. The mother,
    Victoria Katelyn Furnace,
    24, was indicted on state jail
    felony abandon/endanger a
    child.
    Investigators said the
    grandfather was left in charge
    of the children when Victoria
    Furnace and her husband
    Raul Castro, both residents of
    Galveston, left them with him
    at a residence on CR 322 after
    a visit.

    BISD teacher charged
    with offi cial oppression
    A vocational agriculture
    teacher at Buckholts ISD was
    arrested Monday on a Class
    A misdemeanor charge of
    offi cial oppression.
    After his arrest by Buck-
    holts Police Offi cer Carlos
    Paniagua Monday, Steve Alan
    Gaylord, 62, was booked into
    the Milam County Jail. He
    was released a few hours later
    on $2,500 bond.
    Offi cial oppression is a
    charge under the Texas Penal
    Code, Chapter 39, Abuse of
    Offi ce. According to the code,
    a public servant “acting under
    color of his offi ce or employ-
    ment commits an offense if
    he or she “subjects another
    to mistreatment or to arrest,
    detention, search, seizure,
    dispossession, assessment, or
    lien that he knows is unlaw-
    ful; denies or impedes another
    in the exercise or enjoyment
    of any right, privilege, power,
    or immunity, knowing his
    conduct is unlawful; or
    intentionally subjects another
    to sexual harassment.”
    “The district cannot com-
    ment on ongoing investiga-
    tions except to say that Mr.
    Gaylord was placed on ad-
    ministrative leave shortly after
    certain claims were brought to
    our attention,” BISD Super-
    intendent Dr. Dirk Dykstra
    said in a statement released
    Tuesday.
    BISD trustees met Monday
    night “and voted to propose
    termination of Mr. Gaylord’s
    contract with the district,”
    Dykstra said. “Any action
    concerning Mr. Gaylord’s
    contract will not be fi nal until
    all District policies and pro-
    cedures are completed, but he
    will remain on leave during
    this process,” he added.
    “Buckholts ISD takes any
    allegations concerning the
    safety and well-being of our
    students very seriously,” Dyk-
    stra said, “In addition to im-
    mediately conducting its own
    investigation, Buckholts ISD
    has been cooperating with law
    enforcement and other state
    authorities in this matter.”

    NOTES FROM THE EDITOR
    Plano, pesky potholes and periodontics
    By David Mullen
    [email protected]
    I am in no means a finan-
    cial wizard. I have never figured
    out what drives the stock market.
    Case in point: A couple of weeks
    ago Oprah Winfrey bought a 10
    percent stake in Weight Watchers,
    and the stock market surged. Days
    later, McDonalds an-
    nounced that earnings
    surpassed analysts’
    predictions for the
    quarter, and the stock
    market surged. Wait a
    minute! Losing weight
    and gaining weight are
    trigger factors for Wall
    Street. Does that mean
    you can’t have your
    cake and eat it too, but
    you can have your Big Mac and
    fries? … Oh those endless potholes.
    Katy Trail Weekly publisher Rex
    Cumming reports that “I hit a pot
    hole last Tuesday that crippled my
    car. And I was joined by four oth-
    ers that had both their tires and
    rims smashed and cracked by a
    pothole on Walnut Hill Lane be-
    tween Preston Road and Hillcrest
    Road. It looked like a scene from
    ‘Mad Max!’ In my 30 minutes
    there, all five of us pulled together
    and contacted the company that
    caused it. They have accepted our
    claims and are processing paying
    us.” The shock is not the continu-
    ing Dallas pothole nightmare, but
    that a company actually admitted
    to causing the damage. This is a
    classic example of progress causing
    regress. As long as Dallas is going
    to continue building at an alarm-
    ing rate — with streets full of semi
    trucks and cement mixers — we
    are going to deal with gaping road
    holes, as well as those other holes
    on the road … In related news,
    Cafe Express on McKinney Avenue
    in Uptown is closed, yielding the
    property to a high-rise devel-
    oper … I love DirecTV, and I hate
    DirecTV. When the weather goes
    south like it did on Friday night,
    my World Series cov-
    erage was interrupted.
    So, I did something
    that I encourage young
    people to consider. I
    went and found my
    radio and listened to
    the game. It was great.
    I felt like I was right in
    the action and didn’t
    have to watch the
    constant promotional
    announcements on FOX or have to
    listen to Joe Buck … November is
    “sit in the dentist chair” month for
    me. Looks like I will be enjoying
    my Thanksgiving turkey puréed …
    Livability.com reports that the age
    65-and-older population is project-
    ed to double to 85 million by 2050.
    With that in mind, they named the
    “Top 10 Best Places to Retire.” They
    maintain that these cities “offer ac-
    cess to affordable and quality health
    care, a practical cost of living, retir-
    ee-friendly businesses and services,
    as well as several amenities to help
    keep residents active.” The num-
    ber one place on the list is Santa
    Barbara, Calif. Really? I didn’t
    know that the study was “Top 10
    Best Places to Retire if You Are
    Filthy Rich.” The only community
    in Texas listed was Plano at third.
    Behind Santa Barbara and Sarasota,
    Fla., Plano was chosen above the
    underrated towns of Lincoln, Neb.
    and Rapid City, S.D. It was even
    picked above Scottsdale, Ariz. At
    least in Rapid City, seniors can
    visit the nearby Mt. Rushmore and
    remember the good old days. As
    for Plano, I guess seniors can re-
    tire enjoying flat terrain, stifling
    traffic, radar cops and chain res-
    taurants. And a lot fewer potholes
    than Dallas … A true Dallas char-
    acter was lost when Tammy Spears
    passed away a couple of weeks ago.
    Tammy had owned a number of
    bars in Dallas; the last one being
    Next Door Good Times at 6644
    Maple Ave. near Love Field. A wake
    in her honor was held at noon on
    Saturday at the bar. By 11:30 a.m.
    the bar was packed. People brought
    food and hoisted a glass in her
    honor after a slideshow chronicled
    her life. Few knew of her commit-
    ment to helping abused women.
    The bar will live on, but Tammy’s
    strong opinions have been silenced
    forever. Too bad, because you
    never knew what would come out
    of Tammy … I was walking out
    of the Polo Lounge at the Beverly
    Hills Hotel (well, excuse me!) with
    my brother. As I approached the
    exit, I saw that I was walking out
    with Burt Reynolds. He looked
    good and had that unmistakable
    star quality. I introduced myself
    (two martinis bring on unrelent-
    ing courage), shook his hand and
    said, “I always loved Sally Field.”
    He stopped, gave me a stare worthy
    of the original “Longest Yard” and
    said, “So do I.” He broke into that
    unmistakable Burt Reynolds laugh
    as I wiped the vodka sweat off of
    my forehead. Sally Field turns 69
    years old on Friday.

    CRIME WATCH
    HOUSE CALL
    Early detection critical in Lymphoma
    By Dr. Kimberly Washington
    [email protected]
    Lymphoma is a
    type of cancer of the
    lymphoid cells, cells
    that help protect your
    body against infec-
    tion. There are two
    major categories of
    lymphoma, Hodgkin’s
    Lymphoma (named
    after Dr. Thomas
    Hodgkin who discov-
    ered the disease) and non-Hodgkin’s
    Lymphoma. The two major categories
    of lymphoma are distinguished at the
    time of biopsy. The pathologist is able
    to examine the cells looking for specif-
    ic abnormalities that are characteristic
    of the Hodgkin’s type of lymphoma.
    Both types of lymphoma origi-
    nate in the lymphocytes, a type of
    white blood cell whose role is to fight
    infection by identifying and attack-
    ing cells that are not “self.” Each of us
    has special markers on our cells that
    are particular to our body only. The
    lymphocytes check cells, rather ef-
    ficiently, to ensure that all cells have
    these markers. However, if a cell that is
    presented to a lymphocyte lacks your
    personal markers, it classifies the cell
    as foreign and initiates a response to
    destroy it. This is the reason why there
    is much research now on using the im-
    mune system to fight certain cancers.
    In lymphoma, however, lymphocytes
    grow out of control.
    Like any other type of malignancy,
    early detection is key to improved sur-
    vival and potential cure. With lym-
    phoma, however, these cells could eas-
    ily grow without any symptoms for a
    while. The most common symptoms are
    fatigue, weight loss, night sweats and
    enlarged lymph nodes. The enlarged
    lymph nodes are the most common
    way that this disease is brought to the
    attention of the patient. Usually, there
    are large lymph nodes in the groins or
    in the neck which are noticeable. Once
    identified by the patient, it usually leads
    him/her to seek medical attention.
    The workup for lymphoma is
    relatively extensive and di-
    agnosis may take upwards of
    a few weeks. The main rea-
    son for this is that a biopsy
    of the lymph node must be
    performed. It is encouraged
    by the pathologist that the
    entire node be removed as
    this provides the pathologists
    with the best architectural
    detail to make the diagnosis.
    Also it allows enough tissue
    to do the appropriate tests needed for
    diagnosis. If there is only one very
    large lymph node that is difficult to
    completely excise, the appropriate
    tests can be done with multiple nee-
    dle biopsies of the enlarged node.
    Once diagnosis is confirmed, ad-
    ditional staging images are performed. It
    is fortunate now that we have such tests
    as CT scans which allow us to look inside
    the abdomen without actually having to
    open the abdomen. In the past, explora-
    tion was the only option to stage. Now,
    CT scan allows us to accurately stage the
    disease without operative intervention.
    Once staged, chemotherapy will be initi-
    ated. This is usually done through a port
    which is surgically placed as the chemo-
    therapy cannot be given in small periph-
    eral veins. Chemotherapy continues for
    a few months and the patient repeats CT
    scans to determine size of lymph nodes
    after therapy is finished. If there is no ad-
    ditional evidence of disease, the port can
    be removed and the party can begin!
    The thing to remember is that we
    now have very good chemotherapy
    for lymphoma. This means that once
    diagnosed and treatment begins,
    there are usually good results. So,
    fear not! If you have developed en-
    larged lymph nodes, please see your
    doctor so these can be monitored
    and biopsied if needed.

    Dr. Washington
    With the busy holiday season upon us, our to-do
    lists get longer as our free time gets shorter. You may
    be tempted to skip your workout or swing through
    the drive thru instead of preparing a healthy meal.
    Unfortunately, those short-cuts probably aren’t in
    your best interests. Regular physical activity and a
    healthy diet are important stress busters, so it’s par-
    ticularly critical to keep up with a version of your
    healthy routine this time of year. Yes, I said a version. You may not be able to
    squeeze your regular two hour gym workout in between work, parental du-
    ties and holiday parties. However, that doesn’t mean you should blow off your
