Project Underway
RIO GRANDE HKRAI.D RIO GRANDE CITY, TEXAS THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 19, 1987 PAGE 8
EDINBURG-More than 80 Valley
public schools teachers are spend-
ing their Saturdays on the Pan
American University campus this
year learning how to become
better, more creative teachers.
"The Essential Elements: Basic
Strategies and Creative Applica-
tions in English, History, and
Mathematics," is funded by a
$200,000 grant from the Meadows
Foundation. ,
Dr. Bill Fleming, associate pro-
fessor of history, directs the
Meadows Program for Teaching
Excellence. He invites interested
secondary hia'iry, English and
math teachers to attend.
"This program integrates aca-
demic training, pedagogical in-
struction, outreach activites, and
support services for the enrichment
of the classroom teacher," said
Fleming.
The teachers accumulate
advanced academic training credit,
recognized by the Texas Education
Agency, and contribute to the
curriculum development in their
schools, he said.
But the teachers have other
reasons for participating.
"These workshops are an intel-
lectual shot in the arm," said
Diane E Shaffer, a history teacher
at Rio Grande City High School
"It's a pick-me-up after the usual
routine of teaching I get fired-up
after I leave these sessions," she
said.
Another teacher finds the project
"refreshing and interesting. We
have a chance to enhance our
classroom curriculm," said J.D.
Villarreal, a Rio Grande City High
School history teacher.
The Model Teaches Project is
divided into two phases- Phase I
includes the 1987-88 academic year,
including Summer 1988. Phase II
includes the 1988-89 academic year,
beginning Fall 1988.
Phase I is open to all English,
history and math teachers, grades
6-12, in all school districts
throughout Region One Education
Service Center. This Phase consists
of five seminar/workshops and a
teaching conference.
Phase II will concentrate on
advanced training of lead teachers,
said Fleming. Unlike Phase I
which is open to all teachers,
Phase II will include only teachers
drawn from Phase I.
The second year of the project
will include advanced training
seminars, model unit development,
discipline-based research for the
model units, and teacher-led
workshops on classroom applica-
tions and strategies.
All activites are designed to
enrich and update the content
knowledge of classroom teachers,
said Fleming.
"We want to provide teachers
with the practical classroom appli-
cations as an immediate outcome
of each activity," he said.
Three seminar/workshops and a
teaching conference remain on the
Project schedule this year. They
are: seminar/workshop 3, Dec. 5,
8:30 a.m.-4 p.m.; teaching confer-
ence, Feb.13, 1388, 8:30 a.m.-4
p.m.; seminar/workshops 4, March
19,1988, 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m.; and
seminar workshops 5, April 23,
1988,8:30 a.m.-4 p.m.
The sessions are held in various
classrooms in the Communications
Arts and Sciences (CAS) Building.

Can You Top This?
Chocolate lovers beware: here's
a tasty idea to tempt you—top off
your favorite desserts with a butter-
scotch, chocolate fudge or peanut
butter fudge topping.
Toppings make a delicious addi-
tion to your favorite ice cream
flavor. Add whipped cream, nuts
and a cherry and you have a sundae
treat But why stop there? Why not
try your favorite fruit with the
added flavor of toppings?. Try an
apple with butterscotch topping.
Make brownies even fudgier with
a chocolate fudge topping or go nuts
with peanut butter fudge topping.
One topping you may want to try-
is Mrs Richardson's" Butterscotch
Topping. It has a smooth, easy-
flowing consistency that stays
creamy whether served hot or cold.
It tastes rich and buttery like real
butterscotch candy because it con-
tains real, fresh creamery butter.
anticipated him having a good
year. He has the qualities of being
a good running back. Bobby's
ability to find daylight, and the
ability to change direction and to
make would-be head-on tackles
become arm tackles."
Villegas added, "He has good
escapability; he has good periph-
eral vision, and is able to see
where the openings are. He has
good breakaway speed, and is
strong so that he can run over
people and absorb hard hits
without injury."
Garcia himself noted that "I've
been interested in athletics since I
was small. I played Pee-Wee
football in the third and fourth
grades." He recalled that "I played
tailback in the seventh and eighth
grades, and played basketball and
track in junior high."
He recalled that he Was a
fulltime starter at halfback as a
freshman in 1984, and played both
halfback and quarterback for the
1985 junior varsity team. Garcia
said that his junior varsity season
"was good, not great."
Garcia saw a lot of playing
action for the varsity in 1986, at
both halfback and quarterback in
the Rattlers' explosive veer of-
fense. He said his greatest moment
of 1986 was breaking 63 yards for a
touchdown against the Donna Red-
skins at Rattler Stadium on the
first play of the season.
Garcia commented, "I'd say last
year was fair. I got a lot of
experience." He recalled that he
played quarterback against
Brownsville Hanna, Brownsville
Pace, Laredo Nixon, Laredo Unit-
ed, and Laredo Martin.
Against Brownsville Hanna,
Garcia, substituting at
quarterback, took the Rattlers on a
late 73-yard touchdown drive that
cut the final margin to 13-11 in

favor of Hanna.
In 1986, Garcia carried 99 times
for 438 yards, and showed his
breakaway speed by breaking off
runs of 63, 59, and 40 yards. He also
punted 26 times for a 35.1 average
Garcia noted that in August of
this year, "I had a hamstring
problem the first two weeks of fall
workouts. My goal was to get 100
yards against Donna (in the
opener.)" When game one against
Donna rolled around, Garcia car-
ried 20 times for 81 yards.
In game two, Garcia carried 23
times for 135 yards, with much of
the yardage coming on the
touchdown drive that gave the
Rattlers an 8-7 win over
Brownsville Hanna. The halfback
commented, "After that I put my
mind to it, and went for it."
In the final non-district game,
against Brownsville Pace, Garcia
exploded for 186 yards, with more
than 150 yards coming in the first
half. His biggest display of lighting
was an 80-yard scoring bolt.
Garcia really began to roll in
game five against McAllen Memo-
rial, when he carried 21 times for
209 yards and broke off runs of 47
and 68 yards, with the latter going
the distance.
In the next three weeks, Garcia
carried 32 times for 223 yards
against Laredo Nixon, 28 times for
196 yards against Laredo United
and 30 times for 240 yards agsinst
Laredo United Garcia commented,
"The Nixon game was when things
started really good."
About opposing defenses, Garcia
indicated that "Edinburg was
tough. Memorial was the toughest
team; they were hitting me hard."
He said that he suffered an inner
bruise to his collarbone in that
game.
The running standout indicated
that in most games, "I would

always start slow, but get in gear,"
as the game went along. He added,
"When I scored that 40-yard
touchdown against Martin, that
started everything in that game."
About the big game against
Mission, Garcia noted that the
Eagles were keying on him,
tackling him each play whether he
carried the ball or not. Mission s ,
pointing their defenses toward J
Garcia enabled fullback Juan
Benitez and halfback Tommy
Martinez to find lots of running
room.
In that game, Garcia, who
entered the contest as the state 5-A
rushing leader by more than 90
yards, was contained to 45 yards on
13 carries, although he broke for a
34-yard run late in the game.
Garcia noted about past Rattler %
standouts, "I always admired the
Gutierrez brothers (Homero and
Omar). I would always love to
watch Juan Cantu. Javier Pena (an
All-District halfback in 1986) would
always tell me, 'Wait for next
vear.'"
Garcia has competed for the Rio
track team, and went to regional
this past year, after finishing
second in the long jump with a
performance of 21 feet, 4 1/4 inches ^
at the district meet.
About this coming track season,
Garcia said, "i would like to go to
regional again. I'm going to work
for it."
Garcia noted that "DusPhal! is
my other sport." He pitched and
played centerfield for the Rattlers
in both his sophomore and junior
seasons.
Garcia said that his professional
football hero is Dallas Cowboys f
running back Tony Dorsett, com-
menting that "when he iDorsett)
cuts and accelerates, he's very
elusive."
Garcia said that he also admires
Herschel Walker, Walter Payton,
Eric Dickerson, and Roger Craig,
adding that "I love to watch them
play."
Garcia said that he wants to play
college football, adding that "if a .
major school would give me the
opportunity, why not?"
Garcia expressed confidence that
the Rattler football progmm will
continue to progress in the coming
year, and added his opinion that
Rio has a good chance to vault into
the top echelons of 31-5A
About other District 31-5A
players. Garcia gave his stroi ,est
praise to Mission quarterback Lupe
Rodriguez, and also commended
the capabilities of the Mission
receivers.
Garcia clearly had a dream year
in 1987; one that should be an
inspiration to Rattler players,
especially running backs, for years
to come.

The meeting, scheduled to begin
at 7:30 p.m<., did not begin until
approximately 8:15 p.m because a
quorum had been lacking.
Board vice-president DeWitt
Jones, Jr., arrived at approximate-
ly 8:40 p.m., and was sharply
criticized by a woman in the
audience, who contended that
Jones had shown a "lack of
courtesy" in being late.
Jones took exception to that*
evaluation, and after a brief
argument with the woman that
grew more rancorous, he walked
