LOL.... as long as I get my tickets
I just bought Coachella Week #2 with car camping. Needless to say, the Front Gate process was MUCH better than last year's SC2012. Don't know if there was a waiting room cuz it felt like Ticketmaster's system where you get updates every minute (e.g., "there's many people ahead of you", "you're almost there", etc.). Too bad it wasn't exactly like TM, where you get an estimated wait time, but at least it was an improvement!
I used the desktop at work. Logged in at 11:05 am (completely forgot about the 10 am sale). Tried to get Week #1, and while I was in standby a red banner message came on my screen that said something to the effect of "You are currently waiting in line for Week #1 tickets, but tickets are selling fast and odds are you may not get any. Would you like to try for Week #2?" On the bottom was a list of available sections and camping options and it would refresh every minute. After 15 minutes I saw that some camping options were sold out, so I tried Week #2 around 11:20. Another red banner showed up that said "You're waiting for Week #2. It looks like you have a good chance of getting tickets. Do not log off." 30 minutes later I got the tickets I wanted. Like I said, the FrontGate experience was WAAAAY better than SC2012.
I waited less than an hour DESPITE logging in over hour late... AND I still got what I wanted (albeit week #2, not #1).
I have a good feeling it was 1st-come, first-served. Like I said, I can't really say for sure. The red banner updates were helpful. Not as good as Ticketmaster's "Your estimated wait time is ___ minutes", but good enough.
Hopefully our SC2013 ticket experience (whenever that happens) is better than last years
I hope SC is back to 2 day's
Can't wait until Stagecoach2013
I was saying this before... For SC2012 I signed on to Front gate about 30 mins AFTER tickets started going on sale (after seeing people complain on FB about how long it was taking) I was on and off in under 10 minutes and got my tickets without a problem (no camping though) It is NOT first come, first served. I think its just luck of the draw.
SC 2010, 2011 & 2012! "Old enough to know better, but still too drunk to care"
in a way it is a good thing, otherwise all the scalpers would be on with their programs blocking thousands of tickets from the fans.
I don't mind waiting as long as I get my stuff. The wait for the actual event is a lot more painful.
I want to rock and roll all night...and part of everyday
My Bumper sticker reads ~ Drink 'til he's cute ~ That's what I'm gonna do ~ Ain't got no serious thing ~ Don't wear a diamond ring ~ I'm just a summer girl!!!
Is it April yet???
Yes Yes Yes it is April now!!!!
Are they doing pre sale for SC? I want p1 tickets and can never get them! If they do do a pre sale will we be notified in advance? I have to get p1 this year...
SC 2010, 2011 & 2012! "Old enough to know better, but still too drunk to care"
I posted under booze restrictions when I should have said HI in this thread. So HI EVERYBODY!! I loved getting there on Thur and staying until Mon because I danced, partied and had fun with my new friends for 4 days. I danced so much that my feet were killing me and I was so tired on Mon but, I can't wait to do it all again next year! My philosopy is the more days to party the better!!

By mom of 3

I ordered this shirt for my 9 year old daughter who LOVES Storm Chasers (and Reed) and I ordered her an Adult Small size and it was really, really small! Even too small for a 9 year old! I returned it and am not taking a chance with the medium. I'll make her one instead!

While pump prices have increased since the start of 2013, both the national average and state averages in the Southeast are less than they were this time last year. Annually, retail gas prices are forecast to be less than they were in 2012. The annual average for a gallon of regular gas in 2012 was $3.60. This year, the annual average is forecast to be $3.44, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA).
"Gas prices are expected to average less this year because of lower demand and increased domestic oil production," said Jessica Brady, AAA spokeswoman, The Auto Club Group. "While gas is forecast to cost less this year, motorists will see prices inch up in the short term, before they stabilize and/or retreat."
A barrel of oil closed Friday at $93.56 on the New York Mercantile Exchange—47 cents more than the week prior.
The national average price of regular unleaded gasoline is $3.31, 1 cent more than last week. Florida's average of $3.44 increased 5 cents from last week, Georgia's average of $3.33 rose 1 cent, and Tennessee's average of $3.20 increased 2 cents from last week, respectively. Visit AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report to find national, state, and local metro market retail gasoline prices.
Current and past gas price averages: National:
Last week-$3.299
Last month-$3.286

A dizzying number of smartphones is now available in the United States. Picking one is a big commitment, especially when you're signing up for a two-year wireless contract.
There are multiple factors to consider when picking a new phone, such as the carrier, your budget, hardware and the operating system.
Apple, Google and Microsoft each has its own mobile operating systems and ecosystems -- iOS, Android and Windows Phone, respectively -- and they've all been updated in the last year. The three rivals will be going head to head on shiny new handsets this holiday season.
We spent a week or so playing with new phones running these systems to see how they stack up. (For now, we're skipping other struggling smartphone platforms, BlackBerry and Symbian, even though they are more popular globally than Windows Phone. Both are quickly losing market share, although BlackBerry could bounce back when it releases its new smartphone OS, Blackberry 10, in 2013.)
Here are our impressions:
The Android operating system was released by Google in 2008 and has become the No. 1 smartphone OS in the world. It was running on three out of every four smartphone handsets sold in the third quarter of 2012, according to IDC. (The following descriptions are based on the latest version, Android 4.2, aka Jelly Bean.)
Android has the most detailed interface of the available operating systems, with many options and a lot of flexibility for setting it up to meet your needs. The home screen has a Google search bar at the top, and a bar at the bottom can hold four app icons or folders. The middle button brings up the complete list of apps installed on the phone.
You can place icons for your favorite apps anywhere on one of the multiple home screens, then tap an icon to launch that app. You also can decorate the pages with widgets. Widgets are like interactive mini-apps, and they show live information such as the latest from your Twitter feed, titles in your media library or little photo albums that you can flip through from the home screen. You can add widgets on the lock screen as well.

A banquet last week honored the members of the Scotland Health Care System Volunteer Auxiliary.
During Thursday night's banquet Greg Wood, Scotland Health Care System's president and Chief Executive Officer, received from Joyce Smith, Volunteer Auxiliary President, a check representing the dollar value of the volunteers' time. It was in the amount of $612,767.86.
Wood said that as he looked around the room he saw a group of people who embodied community ownership.
"We have a tremendous group volunteers who year in and year out give thousands of hours to this health care system," he said. "You give back because you want to, not because you have to and not because you get a paycheck for it. The 28,688 hours you gave to Scotland Health Care System this past year is equivalent to four or five people that we would have had to hire to perform the work you do. You do it all with a smile each and every day and you do make a difference in the lives of our patients and our staff. You take pride in what happens here at Scotland Health Care System. Whether it's at the front desk, on a nursing unit, at the Morgan Center, or one of our other facilities, you show you care. Tonight we recognize some very special people who have reached some important milestones in their volunteer service. On behalf of myself and all of the board I say thank you for all that you do."
Craig Ellis, chairman of the Scotland Health Care System Board of Trustees, also addressed the volunteers.
"I have come to appreciate the good people of this community. It's people like you who make this health care system the jewel that it is," he said. "On behalf of the trustees I thank you."

WEB EXCLUSIVE: The Hog Whisperer: Cleon Carraway appears to have perfected hog calls
BY Luke Clayton, Special to Star Local News
There is a great deal of information available on most aspects of wild hog hunting, but the art of using calls to attract porkers within shooting range is one that is often skirted around, probably because of lack of factual information.
Through the years, I've had very limited success using calls to attract hogs.
The lion's share of my failures I attribute to lack of skill on my part and possibly the fault of the calls I used to perfectly duplicate the sounds made by wild hogs.
I've watched sows and boars use their snouts to whack nearby hogs out of the way when the porkers are feeding on corn under one of my feeders or acorns under a heavily laden oak tree during the fall. That stout punch from a hog's snout almost always causes the recipient to emit a loud squeal and, on occasion, will cause a scuffle to occur when a couple larger hogs are involved.
I've heard the contented grunt of boars and sows while feeding. I've even heard the distress squeals made by little pigs when being attacked by coyotes.
Southeast Texas call maker Cleon P. Carraway, owner of Carraway Calls (wildgamecalls.com or: 281-573-1989), not only knows how to make calls that consistently attracts wild hogs, he knows how and when to use them.
Back in high school, Carraway was an accomplished lead guitarist in a rock band, playing at the Astro Hall in Houston for the teen fair in the late-1960s, so this call maker knows sound and possesses a keen ear for deciphering minute changes in pitch and tone.
"For much of my life, I have been a member of a big hunting club that borders the Trinity River in Liberty County," Carraway said. "The lease has nine lakes and several good size creeks that traverse the property. I've spent untold hours in the cane breaks and areas of heavy cover learning all the sounds that a sounder of wild hogs make. I've developed calls that perfectly imitate everything from the high-pitched squeals made by pigs to the guttural grunt of mature boars.
"This big piece of wild real estate has served as a testing and proving grounds where I've perfected my skills as a call maker."
Carraway noted that in order to call hogs, one first has to locate them.
"I look for tracks, rubs and wallows that are freshly made," he said. "Many hunters get tricked up with sign that was made days or weeks earlier. Hogs often move a lot in their search for food and it's important to concentrate hunting efforts where the hogs are, rather than where they were a week earlier."
Areas with the heaviest cover are where Carraway concentrates his efforts.
"I've had some very successful hunts from mid morning throughout the middle of the day by keying on heavy cover close to water," he said. "These are areas where hogs bed but they don't simply head to cover, sleep all day and then come out in late afternoon to feed. In heavy cover, they often mill around during the day, feeding or creating wallows. They feel protected from man and other predators in this thick stuff."
Carraway likes to hunt with a partner and tries to get into the thick of the cover.
"It's important to move slowly and shuffle along the ground to mimic the natural movement of undisturbed wild hogs," he said. "Keeping the wind in your face is most important. A little movement, such as brush moving and scuffling of leaves, sounds natural to hogs, but one scent of human and they're out of there."
Once into the thick cover, Carraway begins making occasional, guttural soft grunts with his call, which puts the hogs at ease.
"This lets nearby hogs know another hog is up and feeding," he said. "It often causes bedded hogs to get up and begin rooting for food. It's very common to hear them coming your way."
When Carraway hears hogs moving in his direction, he continues with grunts and occasionally throws in a squeal, which he is positive nearby hogs decipher as a feeding hog whacking a smaller animal that is infringing on his area. He's masterfully creating the illusion of contented, feeding hogs and, more often than not, this results in pork on the game pole.
While still hunting is a very exciting method of covering lots of ground, stand hunting can also be highly effective.
"I use my calls when hunting over corn to entice hogs out of heavy cover during daylight hours," Carraway said. "It's pretty common for mature boars to hang up in the brush near feeders and make their appearance after dark. A little calling will often bring the hogs into bow or rifle range while there is still light."
Carraway was once hunting a climbing stand about 25 feet up in a white oak when he spotted a sow about 120 yards through the woods in an area with limited visibility.
"The sow heading somewhere other than to my position," he said. "I stopped her with a short squeal. She made a few tentative steps in my direction and seemed to lose interest. About the time she turned to resume her previous travel route, I'd hit the call again. This scenario continued until the sow came right in to my stand location. She stopped five or six times, but curiosity got the best of her."
When asked the percentage of time Carraway has had wild hogs respond to his calls, his reply was "near 100 percent of the time when the hogs can hear me."
"There is always a good bit of skepticism among folks that have never learned that hogs are very receptive to the right call made at the right time," he added. "I'll never forget a humorous event that occurred at a hunting show in Houston a few years ago. A guy came by and stated bluntly that hog calls don't work. I told him I didn't remember selling a call to him. He said he used another brand but alluded to the fact calling hogs simply doesn't work. Later that day, another exhibitor came by with a small tame feral pig on a leash. I began a short series of calls and the pig actually broke away from his owner and ran about 30 feet to my booth and stopped right at my feet.
"I sold everyone present at least one hog call thanks to the little pig."

By Philip Schmidt, Networx
Cordless technology certainly has been a boon to the drill market, but it's arguable that two other advancements have made a bigger change in how a drill is used. The keyless chuck and the easy-reverse feature transformed what used to be little more than a hole-maker into a handy drill/driver. Using the reverse button and keyless chuck together reduces bit changes to about 3 to 4 seconds (if that seems exaggerated, you'll see below how this is possible), and gone are the days of fumbling for the chuck key. Of course, a standard 3/8-inch drill is still a very simple and straightforward tool, and you might not think there's much to know in terms of technique, but like a scalpel in the hands of a gifted surgeon, it's the operator's touch that makes all the difference (the right bit never hurts, either).
Lickety-Split Bit Changes
You need three things to get started making the most of a standard 3/8-inch power drill: a set of good twist bits (or brad-points; your choice), a magnetic screw tip holder and tips (for driving screws; I prefer the longer, 3-inch holder) and a combination piloting-countersink bit (for countersinking screws in wood). Unless you own more than one drill, you'll be swapping among these three pieces a LOT. Here's how to do it quickly: wrap the thumb and forefinger of one hand around the chuck and hold on tight; use the other hand to flip the drill into reverse, then pulse the trigger to spin the motor backwards, opening the jaws of the chuck. Insert the bit and hold it centered with the thumb and forefinger of the first hand, grasping the chuck with your middle and third fingers this time. Flip the drill into forward and pulse the trigger to tighten the chuck onto the bit. Done.
Watch Your Speed
Standard drill bits are designed for wood, metal and plastic (you need specialty bits for things like masonry, glass and ceramic, as tile contractors in Baltimore know). But it's important to adjust your drill speed—and how much pressure you apply—based on the material you're working with. For rough holes in wood, high speed and pressure are fine, but pushing hard increases the chance of tear out (see below). To minimize splintering when starting a hole in wood, it helps to go a bit slower and to keep the bit as straight as possible. When drilling metal, use a slow speed and relatively light pressure. Too much of either overheats and dulls the bit very quickly. Sometimes it helps to vary the pressure, pushing harder briefly to help the bit bite into the metal, then easing up and letting the bit do the work. You can also add a drop or two of household oil to the hole as you drill to reduce heat buildup. Plastics tend to be the same as metal: If you go too fast, the plastic melts; if you press too hard, brittle plastic can crack.
Preventing Tear out
Drilling through any wood material involves the risk of splintering caused by the bit exiting the wood on the backside of the hole—that's called tear out. There are two basic methods for preventing, or at least minimizing, tear out. The first works only with hole saws and bits that have guide points, such as spade bits. The trick of carpenters is to drill through the wood from one side, stopping as soon as the guide point (or the center bit on a hole saw) penetrates the backside of the material. Then, you flip the work over and complete the hole from the backside; the hole made by the guide point centers the bit for the second half of the hole. The other way to prevent tear out works with all bits. Simply clamp a sacrificial backer board—any flat piece of scrap lumber will do—to the backside of the work piece. Drill all the way through the work from one side, going into the backer board a bit before retracting the bit. The backer board supports the wood fibers on the back face of the work to prevent splintering.
Good Driving Habits
Driving screws properly with a drill takes experience and focus. Expert operators seldom strip screws, while rookies do it all the time. Why? Experts follow three basic rules: 1. keep the drill straight, 2. apply a lot of pressure, and 3. know when to let off the trigger. The first two rules are self-explanatory; the third comes with experience. But if you follow the first two rules, often the screw (and the material) will let you know it's time to stop driving. If you're still stripping or breaking screws, you're stopping too late and/or you need pilot holes (or bigger pilot holes).

5 out of 6 people found this review useful. 1 person found this inaccurate. 1 of 18
Categories Comments Great for these types of students Students who love God, who don't, and who want to love God. Also, this campus is great for students who live in Kentucky and want to experience a small, yet dynamic campus. Students who live and breathe for interactions with foreign students will find a variety of International students ranging from Japan to Brazil and back!
Tips for prospective students Be sure to visit campus prior to attending the University. Ask your admissions counselor questions that you prepare before meeting with them. Also, if you are seeking a minor or major in Music, understand the requirements for your first two semesters if you are a Performance Grant recipient.
Bang for the buck Though Campbellsville University is more expensive than most institutions, the tuition and other expenses are worth the Christ-centered, educational environment a student experiences. I found that the higher tuition goes towards resources that students at other colleges have to fund entirely themselves.
Am enjoying being here The campus is one that strives to create activities for the students to be involved it. This requires the student to be able to search for some gold nugget events that are constantly occurring on campus.
Academic Rigor The professors at this institution are well educated. The class size ratio is small enough to create an environment of excellent learning. The professors work hard to make sure that every student succeeds to become masters of each subject.

Tips for prospective students -If you plan on skipping class for no reason, the attendance policy will make your life miserable. -Academics is rated very high for this school. So plan on working hard in the majority of your classes.
Bang for the buck Campbellsville, has recently become quite expensive. So if you haven't applied for any scholarships, do so. The Internet has many options available to you.
Am enjoying being here I enjoy going to my education major classes. Some of the professors, and students tend to be snobby and put off.
Am learning a lot When a person is taking courses in their intended major, they will definitely learn lots. However, in the gen ed courses, it will all depend on the professor if the student will gain the knowledge intended.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students If you enjoy a small community and are not seeking a massive change, then it's the perfect place to be. In my opinion this University is almost easier than high school.
Tips for prospective students Get involved. There are several groups and organizations and they are all extremely fun. It's best to make the most of the experience because you will miss it.
Bang for the buck Though it is very expensive, it is definitely worth it. The university offers a wide variety of scholarships, especially for athletes, which cuts tuition down to an extremely affordable rate.
Am enjoying being here The campus is beautiful and the learning environment is exquisite. It's not a huge campus so it makes it easier to find your classes and make friends.
Am learning a lot The professor student ratio is perfect. The classes are not overwhelmingly large which creates more opportunities for students and attention.

Food and Dining the food is pretty good at campbellsville university. i ate at chick-fil-a and it was clean and the food was served to you fast.
Academic Rigor in my opinion, this university keeps me on my toes. it challenges me each week with new assignments, due dates, observations i have to get done, artifacts and lesson plans for my portfolio.
Tips for prospective students some tips i would give prospective students if they are going into the same major as i am iece at cu then you will need to get prepared for reading textbooks, studying, typing everything, writing reflections on almost everything you do, and going to schools for observations. to even start doing observations you need your tb skin test, background check, and etc to be able to go into the classrooms.
In three sentences campbellsville university has terrific iece professors that work with you and try their best to get you prepared for teaching. i also learn so much in their iece courses; which, i'm working and studying very hard to achieve this. this college i would rate at a 9 out of 10 because i'm a junior there and i feel like i'm receiving a higher education that i can use for my future.

Dorm Life I absolutely LOVE the girls who live on my dorm hall. We're like a big family, and we always have a good time together! It can be annoying having to share space with a roommate, but for the most part it's awesome.
Academic Rigor The classes I have taken at Campbellsville so far have been challenging at times but easy at others. There has only been one class so far that has been more challenging than the others, but it's not more than I can handle.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you reach all the deadlines on time for scholarships, enrollment, and housing information, etc. And don't be discouraged if you don't get a certain scholarship-there are TONS of scholarships to apply for at CU-they even give you a scholarship just for being a good student!

Great for these types of students Christians, especially hardcore Christians. Conservatives, people who want to be sheltered or stay inside their bubble. It's also good for people who grow up in small towns. I'm from the city and I hated living in a place so rural and small, with nothing to do.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The swings were my favorite place.
Bang for the buck The total cost was lower than several comparable schools in the state. But... you also get what you pay for...
What to do for fun There is a Walmart and a lake... you have to make up your own fun. And this gets very old after only a short time... The town offers very little to do and the university itself is very dead (on the weekends especially). If you like to go out/stay busy, this town and college doesn't offer anything for you in that respect.
Food and Dining The food was not terrible.... Lunch was usually better than dinner. Choices were sparse on the weekends. There was an entree buffet, a salad bar, a grill, a stir-fry station, pizza station, sandwich station, and cereal and fruit. The dessert bar was always stocked. One of my favorite things about CU was the Blue Bell ice cream. It was awesome! Overall the food was okay--not nasty, but not exactly delicious either.
Dorm Life Visitation hours for men in womens' dorms was 3-11pm. There are two options for women: the Village and Stapp Hall. I lived in the Village Phase 2. The building was new so it was in good shape, but the noise levels were high. You could hear everything in the house. Also, my room was always really hot because the sun shined in all afternoon and I was in the back (which was technically the front) of the house. My roommate and I shared our own bathroom, but the kitchen only had a fridge, sink, and microwave. I do not know anything about how Stapp or the mens' dorms are.
Academic Rigor Every class that I had during freshman year was very easy. I did not have to do homework or study very much, and came out with all As. The pace dragged on slowly. I do not feel that I was academically challenged and I wish I had been. I suppose I needed to go to a different school for that....
Tips for prospective students Choose CAREFULLY!!!! If you have any doubts or complaints about this or any college before you go, make sure you can ignore them or fix them because you will spend the next few years there. But, also don't forget that you can transfer.
In three sentences Campbellsville University is small, remote, boring, biased, judgmental, not challenging in any way (for me), and not diverse. The classes were easy, but most of the professors were down to earth and kind. When I was there, I could not wait to transfer.

Categories Comments Academic Rigor The class sizes at CU are much smaller than your average school so come prepared to attend class (there is an attendance policy). Teachers take time to get to know students--they are not just a number!
In three sentences CU is a great atmosphere for all students. We have a wide range of majors and minors. We also have a lot to keep a person busy (and out of trouble).

What to do for fun Their are College Nights at the local Bowling Alley (Wednesday Nights bowl for $1 a game and $1 shoe rentals) and Movie Theatre (Tuesday Nights $3 a ticket). You can also go to Green River Lake that is 10 minutes from the Campus. Students can also go 2 blocks from campus to the downtown Shops and Boutiques.

Dorm Life Living in the Village, I was spoiled with only sharing a bathroom with one other girl and a house with five other girls. The Residence Directors and Residence Assistants do a great job of keeping the dorms in great condition and helping the residence.
Academic Rigor Classes are tough but the professors are so nice and caring if you go talk to them if you are having issues they will help you anyway they can.
Tips for prospective students GO TO CLASS. Some professors are known to drop finals, drop low scores, give extra credit points if you attend so many/all classes, or will count attendance as a grade in the class!
In three sentences Campbellsville is a great place to learn from professors who actually care about you and your future. You never meet a stranger walking on campus and you feel 100% safe at all hours. This past year at CU has been the best year of my life and I look forward to returning in the fall.

One of the most common problems ailing churches face is a debilitating mindset to preserve the Institution vs. genuinely caring for people.
Author, consultant, and Leadership Network speaker Reggie McNeal is an icon in the congregational development world. He's written extensively, in The Present Future, Missional Renaissance and Missional Communities, about the Church's need to get out of itself and get with God's mission. So where do plateaued churches begin? Reggie took an hour to explain it to me in this incredibly informative, and often entertaining interview.

Reggie McNeal is one of God's gifts to the renewal of the North American church. He sees the Church's noble mission to bless the world as an extension of God's mission. We have a bashful church in an altruistic age that we need to get more interested in. Here are my notes from the interview:
The Three Shifts
Reggie says there are three significant shifts declining churches need to address if they are going to turn things around; moving from an institution-centered to a people-centered paradigm, turning from being a program-driven to a people-development framework, and shifting leaders from a church-centric to a kingdom-centric mindset.
Don't Use the Word 'Planning'
Reggie says it's outdated and inaccurate. A better way to approach planning is with the notion of preparation – how do we, as a church, spiritually prepare for what God is doing?
Get Excited About Our Calling
Every day 80,000 people become Christians. We live in a day and time of unparalleled growth, potential and opportunity. It's an incredible time to be sent – what's keeping us from going?
About Reggie McNeal
Dr. Reggie McNeal enjoys helping people, leaders, and Christian organizations pursue more intentional lives. He currently serves as the Missional Leadership Specialist for Leadership Network of Dallas, TX. Reggie's past experience involves over a decade as a denominational executive and leadership development coach. Reggie has lectured or taught as adjunct faculty for multiple seminaries, including Fuller Theological (Pasadena, CA), Southwestern Baptist (Ft. Worth, TX), Golden Gate Baptist (San Francisco, CA), Trinity Divinity School (Deerfield, IL), Columbia International (Columbia, SC), and Seminary of the Southwest (Austin TX), Reggie has contributed to numerous publications and church leadership journals.

Mayor tells CWC: Coppell is financially healthy
Coppell Mayor Karen Hunt told the Coppell Women's Club (CWC) Wednesday that the city council was able to vote to reduce the tax rate because city staff members used resources well.
She praised them for being financially responsible in such a way that Coppell residents will be paying a lower tax rate than last year.
Hunt, a longtime member of the CWC, spoke on the topic, �Out and About in Coppell,� at the fall luncheon which was held at the Hackberry Creek Country Club.
�The city is very healthy,� she said. �We spend less than we take in,� which explains why the city council voted to reduce the tax rate by two cents in 2013.
The mayor also praised the job of Coppell city staff members, describing how they used resources well, and explained the city�s close relationship with the Coppell Chamber of Commerce and Coppell ISD.
�We are the envy of many,� she said, as she described how closely the city works with CISD, both helping each other. She cited youth sports as an example, with CISD wanting to turf an additional playing field and the city needing a field for Saturday football games. �By working together on this issue, citizens win.�
A question-and-answer session followed the mayor�s speech, with members receiving information about such issues as Kid Country 2012, the city�s healthy initiative, the status of red light cameras and the boardwalk to be rebuilt at Andy Brown Park.
The next regular meeting of the Coppell Women�s Club will be Nov. 7. The topic will be �You, Your Home: Center Stage,� with home staging and decor expert Belinda Hernandez.
For information about joining CWC, contact Annette Morton at: email@example.com.
