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.

KATY TRAIL WEEKLY'S
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. Kimberly Washington, a gen-
eral surgeon at Highlander Surgical
Associates in Arlington, maintains
an interest in health education and
advocacy.
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
LIFE ON THE TRAIL
