Meet the Buckeyes scheduled for Saturday night, August 8

By JOE DODD

The public is invited to come and Meet the Buckeyes Saturday night at Buckeye Stadium. The 2009 Gilmer football, volleyball and cross-country teams will be introduced, along with the band, cheerleaders, drill team and majorettes.

Activities get underway at 7 p.m. and are scheduled to conclude around 8:15 p.m.

“I think it’s just neat that all the groups are out here,” said head football coach and athletic director Jeff Traylor. “It’s like a pep rally to start the year off, and I think the kids enjoy it.”

Meet the Buckeyes will cap off a very busy day for the Gilmer students. The football and volleyball teams will have their pictures taken for media day, and the football players will begin selling the discount Buckeye Cards. All students will then be treated to a free meal by the Gilmer Athletic Booster Club before the event.

Following the event, parents’ meetings will be held for football and volleyball parents.

The Gilmer Athletic Booster Club will have a table to sign up members for the 2009-2010 school year. General memberships cost $25 and include two membership cards, two car decals, and admittance to the weekly lunch with Coach Traylor.

Preferred memberships are $250 and include a select parking pass to home football games, a coaches’ shirt and the benefits of the general membership.

Business memberships are $125 and include a decal for the business and a poster for both the fall and spring sports.

How Gilmer came to be known as the Buckeyes

By JOE BLOUNT Long before the birth of Christ the buckeye was known to have medicinal value. The nutlike seed, found abundantly on shrubs here in East Texas, first got its notoriety as a curative agent from the Greco-Roman culture. Their god of medicine was Aesculapian. Even today botanical scientists place the buckeye within the genus Aesculus, recognize it as a member of the horse-chestnut family and are still highly puzzled by its many and varied phytochemicals. “Phyto,” as you may recall from biology, simply means “from plants.” There are a great number of antioxidants and maintenance chemicals found in the buckeye’s pulp. There are also many toxic compounds and several of the substances are downright poisonous. Early Greek docs would skin the buckeye and boil the endosperm, producing a brew that was taken internally. Most often, just as the case may still be today, the cure inevitably turned out to be worse than the disease. So now, we see that the buckeye is poisonous. We also b...
