Texas DPS says that criminal charges are currently pending against Jame’ Michelle Whitmire, age 17, of Spurger, after being involved in an auto accident that killed a 94-year-old Silsbee man.

Trooper Stephanie Davis said Heubert Browning was a passenger in a car that was hit from behind on May 3 in Fred on Highway 92 by Whitmire. Davis says Whitmire received minor injuries and was treated at the scene, while Heubert Browning, age 94, of Silsbee, was sent to Christus Hospital St. Elizabeth in Beaumont, where he died the next day.

Lydia Browning, age 84, of Silsbee, and the driver of the Buick, and another passenger, Jeffery McGallion, age 55, were sent to a hospital for minor injuries.

Four Ivanhoe residents were arrested on drug charges this month after an investigation by the Tyler County Sheriff ’s De-partment revealed that there was possibly a large amount of drugs and drug paraphernalia in their

by Emily Waldrep

According to Tyler County Assistant District Attorney Dan Hunt, Cameron Westfall, who is accused of taking part in the killing of Nathan and Krystal Maddox outside of a church, led Tyler County authorities to weapons used in the double murder.

Hunt said that the weapons were recovered from a pond near the Westfalls’ home by a dive team.

Cameron’s father and mother, Paul and Letha Westfall, as well as his sister, Kristen Westfall, are charged with Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity – Capital Murder after the shooting of Nathan and Krystal Maddox at Mount Caramel Bap-tist Church in Colmesneil on January 18.

Nathan and Krystal Maddox were at the church at the time complying with supervised visitation with Nathan Mad-dox’s child. There was a pending child custody case between the deceased Nathan Maddox and his ex-wife, Kristen Westfall Maddox.

The child in question has since been living in a foster care situation, and her biological grandfather, Jim Maddox, has been vying for custody of the child since the murders.

In addition to the weapons being re-covered, Paul Westfall was deemed incompetent to stand trial following a psychological evaluation by a disinterested expert, Hunt said.

“A doctor submitted a report to the court, and the court found him incompetent to stand trial,” Hunt said. “That doesn’t mean the charges are dropped, or that they go away, but he will be admitted to a state hospital where he will be treated and, hopefully, regain his competency.”

Paul Westfall, Letha Westfall, Cameron Westfall and Kristen West-fall were arrested and charged with engaging in Organized Criminal Activity - Capital Murder and are being held in the Tyler Count Jail, each under a one million dollar bond.

According to Phil Ryan of the Tyler County Sheriff ’s Depart-ment, on May 4, 2014, Tyler County Sheriff ’s deputies wrote a search warrant for a residence on Galahad Loop in Ivanhoe af-ter a five-month investigation, composed of tips and officer in-

formation. After a judge signed the warrant and deputies arrived at the residence, they located four adults inside the main house and one adult inside a guest apart-ment on the property.

The four adults inside the resi-dence were identified as James Andrew Moran, age 43, of Ivan-hoe; Robert Carroll Taylor, age 72, of Ivanhoe; Rachel Wagoner Cassie, age 28, of Ivanhoe; and, Cassandra Jean Dobbins, age 30, also of Ivanhoe.

They were all taken out of the home and searched. The residence was also searched and photographed by deputies. A large amount of drugs, drug par-aphernalia, and cash was found inside the residence, including a meth pipe, powder residue, emp-ty baggies, prescription pills with torn or scratched off labels, a case with a large amount of metham-phetamine, several meth straws, marijuana pipe, digital scale, .32

caliber revolver, syringes and marijuana.

Moran was charged with Manufacture or Delivery of Sub-stance Penalty Group One - 1st degree felony and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia - Class C Misdemeanor.

Taylor was charged with Manufacture or Delivery of Substance Penalty Group One - 1st degree felony and Pos-session of Drug Paraphernalia - Class C Misdemeanor.

Cassie was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance Penalty Group One - 1st degree felony, Failure to Identify - class B misdemean-or, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia – class C mis-demeanor.

Criminal charges pending against Spurger 17 year old

Tyler County Judge Jacques Blanchette was among fourteen com-missioners and county judges to visit Washington, D.C. as part of the Commissioners Court Leadership Academy sponsored by Texas A&M and AgriLife Extension. Participants met with Senator Cornyn to discuss issues affecting Texas counties while other pre-senters addressed foreign policies, as well as domestic matters that affect counties. The group spent a day with local county officials in Cecil, Maryland, sharing solutions they have used to successfully boost their local economies, in addition to solving infrastructure challenges. Dr. Shelton Williams, a Midland native and tenured professor at Austin College, who heads the Osgood Center for International Studies, led the delegation on a visit to the Hong Kong Embassy.

Washington, D.C. is the home for over one hundred seventy embassies that participate in international relations because of the influence the U.S. has on world affairs. The group concluded their week-long visit with a tour to various historic landmarks, including the Arlington National Cemetery, where they witnessed the chang-ing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier; the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials; and the WWII Memorial.

Summer vacation is right around the corner. I’m not a big believer in pre-planning every single detail – sometimes

Keep a Lid on Summertime Vacation Coststhe best vacation moments are spontaneous. But unless your rich uncle is paying for the trip, you’ll need to do a cer-tain amount of preparation, or your budget will fly out the window.

You do have a vacation bud-get, right? If not, here are a few suggestions for creating one and some cost-saving ideas to help keep expenses down:

First, be realistic about what you can afford. If your vaca-tion will take more than a month or two to pay off, you may want to scale back on this year’s trip and start setting aside money now for next year.

When building a trip budget, try to anticipate all potential expenses. Consider things like: • Airfare-related expenses. In-clude taxes and fees for items like changing flights, extra leg

room, priority boarding, Wi-Fi access, meals, and checked, oversized or overweight bag-gage. • Kayak.com, Airfarewatch-dog.com and Travelnerd.com provide handy charts that compare various fees for popu-lar airlines; however, always double-check the airline’s own posted rules before booking your flight.• Transportation to and from the airport – at home and all travel locations.• Car rentals. Factor in taxes, gas, fi l l-up penalties and insurance (check your auto

insurance and credit card poli-cies to ensure you don’t pay for duplicate coverage).• Hotel/lodging. Don’t forget taxes and other local fees, charges for phone/Internet, room service, early check-in or departure, gratuities, etc. • Hotel room rates often are based on double occupancy. Although kids usually can stay for free, many hotels charge extra for additional adults. • Ente r ta inment . Inc lude meals and snacks, event ad-mission and ticket-ordering charges, transit passes or taxis, sporting equipment rental, babysitters and special cloth-ing or accessory requirements (sunscreen, hiking boots, etc.) • Throw in an extra 10 or 15 percent for unanticipated expenses – lost luggage, flat tire, etc.Search for deals on flights, hotels and rental cars at comparison sites like Orbitz.com, Kayak.com, Priceline.com, Hotwire.com, Hotels.com and Travelzoo.com. But beware: Before clicking “con-firm,” make sure the final price matches the initial quote. I’ve seen fares jump $50 or more in just minutes or had the seat I was booking suddenly become unavailable.

AUSTIN — Governmental bodies’ right to begin meetings with a prayer — so long as the prayer does not favor a par-

ticular religious denomination — was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision rendered May 5.

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott reacted to the decision in Town of Greece, New York v. Gal-loway et al. “I am

pleased that the U.S. Supreme Court has once again upheld the longstanding and constitutionally protected right of govern-mental bodies to begin their meetings with prayer,” Abbott said.

Texas was one of 23 states that joined in a brief arguing against a circuit court of appeals decision declaring unconstitutional a New York local governmental body’s tradition of opening its public meetings with a prayer.

Sales tax revenue increases

Comptroller Susan Combs on May 7 said state sales tax revenue in April was $2.27 billion, up 5.6 percent compared to April 2013.Combs, who said this marks 49

S.C. decision upholds prayer in public meetingsconsecutive months of growth in sales tax collections, will send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts their May local sales tax allocations totaling $716 million, up 7.1 percent compared to May 2013.

In other news, Combs announced on April 29 the launch of an online database detailing public school construction costs since 2007.

The Texas Public Schools Construc-tion database, found through the www.texastransparency.org, “will help Texans prepare to vote in the upcoming local bond elections, which feature a total of $6.7 bil-lion of proposed bond debt on the ballot, 92 percent of which is proposed by local school boards,” Combs’ office said.

Drought disaster continues

Gov. Rick Perry on May 9 renewed for 30 days the Emergency Disaster Proclama-tion he originally issued on July 5, 2011, certifying that exceptional drought condi-tions posed a threat of imminent disaster in specified counties in Texas.

The renewal, which means “all rules and regulations that may inhibit or prevent prompt response to this threat are sus-pended for the duration of the state of disaster,” applies to 173 of the state’s 254 counties.

Horse patrol unit starts

Texas Department of Public Safety on April 29 announced the official start of a mounted horse patrol unit.

Cynthia Leon, chair of the Texas Public Safety Commission which oversees the DPS, said “Texas’ majestic Capitol Com-plex draws more than one million guests each year, in addition to the thousands of state and civilian workers who report there for work on any given day. This new law enforcement capability throughout the Capitol Complex will prove to be a valu-able resource in keeping the public safe.”

TEA submits plan to feds

Texas Education Agency on April 28 announced it submitted specific details of a new teacher evaluation and support system to the U.S. Department of Education.

Part of Texas’ waiver from specific provisions of the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 depends on the state’s submitting an alternative plan for a teacher evaluation and support system. Texas’ plan will be piloted in as many as 72 school districts and charters in the 2014-2015 school year.

Education Commissioner Michael Williams said, “The Teacher Evaluation and Support System is designed to be a more effective evaluative tool to support the most important adult in Texas educa-tion — the teacher at the front of every

day by three deacons from his home church. They’d come, they told him, to “church” him, which meant to read him out of membership in the church.

R.B. stood there, arms folded as he did when someone was addressing him in a manner he did not like, and lis-tened to one deacon state their mission. When the man finished, R.B. began with his usual preface, “Well, I’ll tell you one damn thing. If it wasn’t for that back door that I built especially for your Baptist brethren, I couldn’t keep this S.O.B. open. Now, get out.”

He served on the city council after I’d moved on to Conroe, not too far away. He pulled some cantankerous move in a council meeting, and I wrote a column in the Conroe Cou-rier about how wrong-headed it was. Shortly afterward, I was in Cleveland and made a stop at the newspaper. I was standing in the lobby in full view of the door as R.B., who was known to have a hot temper, passed by. He stopped and came in with this look I recognized as “mock mad.” He walked over to me (the Cleveland publisher backed up as if to flee), stuck out his hand with a big grin and said, “How in hell are you?” I said, “I’m fine. You mad at me?” His reply, with a side look at the Cleveland publisher: “Hell no. I always know where you stand. You’ve got backbone. Good to see you.”

Texas’ conglomeration called “liquor laws” has prompted a lot of battles over the years with “wet” versus

“dry.” It has also produced a lot of good humor and introduced some pretty humor-ous characters as well.

Proponents of alcohol sales have made jokes about the Lone Star State’s Sunday sales hours of 1

p.m. to 6 p.m. They said those hours were a compromise between wets and drys in order to give the church deacons “an even start with everyone else” on Sundays.

Perhaps the most contentious series of events I’ve ever witnessed oc-curred in the Liberty County town of Cleveland in the late 1960s and early 1970s. With apologies to opponents, especially church folks, proponents, and advocating neither side, here are a few humorous recollections.

In the three and one-half years I was there, Cleveland was faced with three wet-dry elections. All three failed to allow liquor sales.

Just prior to the first election, I was picking up an ad in a local store one day and the owner summoned me to his office. The older man, a front-row occupant at the town’s largest church, said to me, “Uh, Boy, how you stand on this wet-dry issue?”

I told him: “Right on top of the fence.”

He replied: “I’m damn glad to hear that.” Then, he reached in a deep drawer of his desk, whipped out a fifth of Old Crow bourbon whiskey and said, “Let’s drink to that.”

Local restaurateur R.B. Boyett made no bones about his support of selling liquor by the drink in his restaurant if the measure was approved. Two things I admired about R.B. were his forthrightness and his sense of humor.

Since it failed three times, R.B. threw his support behind a similar measure for package stores in neighboring San Jacinto County (sometime known as The Free State of San Jacinto). When the measure passed, someone asked R.B. what he was going to do. His reply: “I’ll tell you one damn thing (his favorite preface to almost any remark he made), I’m gonna throw me up a whiskey store over there.” And, he did, just across the county line less than five minutes from downtown Cleveland.

R.B., his wife and their two young-est children were members of the First Baptist Church in Cleveland. R.B. didn’t attend, but the rest of his family did, and it was well known that the restaurateur sent a big check each week.

His close, carousing friends teased him and said his initials stood for “Round Boy.” Good sport R.B. always laughed but gave as good as he got.

According to local legend, not long after his San Jacinto County “whiskey store” opened, R.B. was paid a visit one

child’s classroom.”“We have heard from Texas teachers that

the current evaluation system (in place since 1997) used by 86 percent of our school districts is outdated and provides little value in regard to meaningful professional feedback and growth,” Williams said.

Identity thieves reportedly have posed as employees of the Texas Attorney General’s Office to steal the identities of targeted individuals — particularly individuals who have applied for a short-term loan.

Pickett House, her favorite place to dine. We thought we were getting there plenty early but were we ever wrong! The line was out on the porch by 11:30, and the inside was full. It gave me time to chat with the people in the line around me. Friends from Beaumont had driven up to have lunch with family. One large group of at least 30 gathered to celebrate with their mother. Even though people had a wait time, they didn’t seem to mind and stayed in a jolly mood while waiting.

The food was great, as usual, and the cooks and serving staff just kept smiling and dishing out the fried chicken, greens, potatoes and gravy, green beans, chicken and dumplings, biscuits/cornbread and cobbler. Bags with presents were evident at many tables. We didn’t go out this year. Next year will be a good time to go back to the Pickett House and celebrate the life of all mothers who aren’t here any more. I don’t know about the line this year; I am guessing that it was long again and everyone stayed in a good mood.

It could be because I’m older than I used to be (duh!), but I don’t remember it being this hot so early. All I have wanted to do is stay in and do things around the house. We also really need

I heard this week that Mother’s Day was the single busiest day for restaurants out of all

the other holidays. I believe it’s true. For you Mothers out there, I hope your special day was very special, with flowers, candy, a special something that you have “al-ways” wanted, a lunch that you did not cook yourself or all of the above and

even more. If your children live away from home, I hope they came to visit or that they called to let you know they love you.

This is the first year that I was not able to visit with my mother, take her to lunch, send her flowers or call her. She died July 6th last year. I miss her every day. Let your mother know you love her today and every day, before it is too late.

‘Click It’ campaign is set

Texas Department of Transportation’s 13th annual “Click It or Ticket” campaign will run May 19 to June 1.

In 2013, there were 943 fatalities and 5,383 serious injuries in Texas resulting from crashes in which drivers or passen-gers were not wearing seat belts, TxDOT reported.

rain in our area. Pulling water hoses from one part of the yard to another has been the extent of my outside work. Fortunately for Heritage Village there are plenty of people who do get out in the heat and they are coming to tour the Village, shop in the Gift Shop and eat at the Pickett House.

We are almost fully booked with tours until the end of the month. Schools and senior groups are both so much fun to take through the Vil-lage. The senior groups recognize most of the artifacts as something they used growing up, and the school children are fascinated with the “old things” and wonder how they could possibly be any good for the job they were supposed to do.

Graduating seniors from each of our five county high schools have been invited to apply for a scholarship presented by the Tyler County Heritage Society at awards day or graduation to a deserving student. In this day of high costs for college, every scholarship helps to defray expenses. If you know a senior from one of our schools be sure that they know about the scholarship and encourage them to apply. If you are a senior you may get information from your school counselor about how to apply. We hope to have lots of applicants from which to choose.

Condolences to our director, Ofeira Gazzaway, in the loss of her aunt, who lived in Seattle. You and the family are in our prayers.

Part 2 Next Week

Wanders With Joyby Huntley Kenesson

To Lake TejasDuring the last several columns, Joy and I have wandered through several

school districts in Tyler County. We have strolled school campuses and met prominent Tyler County educators; and I have nostalgically described beautiful school buildings now gone. Since this column is being written on May Day, my thoughts immediately centered on Lake Tejas, just east of Colmesneil. When I was growing up, my parents would not allow my sister and me to go swimming until May 1, so that day was very memorable and special. Lake Tejas was then, as it remains today, our favorite swimming hole.

Lake Tejas is unique in so many ways. It is a very beautiful, scenic part of East Texas; its spring-fed water is so cool and refreshing on a hot summer day; and, moreover, it is the only swimming hole I know that was developed, owned and managed by a public school district. It is still owned by the Colmesneil Inde-pendent School District. My canine partner, Joy, indicated that she could not wait for another excursion on such a beautiful spring day; so off to Lake Tejas we went for our next wander.

We took the long way to Colmesneil in order to stop and visit with Aunt Adelaide, thus we entered the lake grounds through the east gate opposite the swimming area. As a child I never paid much attention to this side of the lake. Occasionally my family would leave the swimming hole, cross the rickety one-way wooden low water bridge which frightened me as a child (now replaced by a well maintained road), and exit the east gate.

As Joy and I entered this park area, I marveled at the natural beauty surround-ing us. Tall, pristine pines whispered and waved in the breeze. The expansive, grassy grounds were clean and well manicured. We paused for several minutes to admire the sparkling water and the diving tower and white sandy beaches across the lake. I wished for some of the fried chicken, baked beans and trim-mings my parents spread on the picnic tables following an invigorating swim.

Driving around the lake, I observed more piers than I remembered. The road was well maintained and smoother than it seemed in the past. On the other side I observed that the old bath house and diving tower had been replaced with newer versions. The swimming hole was still as inviting and just the right size—enough room to swim, dive, and have a good time, yet small enough for life guards and parents to protect the swimmers. Joy seemed eager to jump into the water. Fortunately, the swimming area had not opened for the season. Consequently, I didn’t have to explain to her that canine swimmers were probably not allowed.

Joy and I enjoyed our Lake Tejas adventure so much that I was inspired to learn its history. I immediately turned to my friend-- educator, businesswoman, and former Colmesneil Mayor Jackie Brown-- who immediately provided the historical data.

A man driving a limousine was arrested in Spurger after being involved in a hit-and-run accident at Citizens State Bank, says Chief Deputy Phil Ryan of the Tyler County Sheriff ’s Department.

On May 9, deputies were dispatched to an accident in Spurger after the actor left the scene. The caller advised that the actor was at Pony Express Mart in Spurger.

Deputies met up with the dr iver, identi fied as Coy Boykins, who said that he came to the store to get some cigarettes. He said he pulled into the bank’s parking lot and exited the limousine to withdraw money to purchase cigarettes. Boykins said he was unaware he hit a vehicle while backing up and that he did not have a valid driver’s license.

He was placed under arrest for reckless damage, driving without a license and no proof of financial responsibility.

The limousine was released

Court proclaims May Elder Abuse Prevention Month in Tyler County—Shown with the Tyler County Judge and Commissioners are APS In-Home Caseworker members. The APS caseworkers have completed 66 investigations of which 52 cases of abuse, neglect and/or exploitation were confirmed against elderly Texans or those with disabilities in 2013.

Understanding the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act

“Our remedy cures arthritis and cancer in seven days!”

“Resolve your outstanding debts! With our product, you’ll only have to pay your creditors 30 percent of what you owe!”

When a vendor or salesman uses false statements, duress, exaggera-tions or misleading advertisements to win a Texan’s business, he or she violates the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA).

Vendors may violate the DTPA by claiming their product does something it does not or cannot do. Companies also violate the DTPA when they take advantage of a customer’s lack of knowledge or language comprehension.

The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) protects Texans by filing civil enforcement ac-tions under the DTPA and other consumer-protection statutes. Businesses must comply with the law when they interact with customers.

Complaints filed with the OAG may form the basis for a state

investigation into a company’s business practices. In some cases, significant numbers of complaints about a business may give rise to legal action to enforce state law and protect the public interest. The decision to investigate or take legal action is based on a number of factors.

Enforcement actions are filed on behalf of the State of Texas and the public good. The OAG cannot rep-resent individual Texans, but some

legal actions do produce restitution for the defendant’s customers.

The DTPA covers the sale, lease and distribution of nearly all goods and services, with the exception of professional advice. Providers of pro-fessional advice would not be cited under the DTPA if opinions they give clients turn out to be “wrong.” For example, an attorney could not be sued for deceptive trade practices for advising a client to file a lawsuit that ultimately failed.

Woodville Lady Eagles comeback to advance

gave the Lady Eagles a boost with a bases empty homerun in the seventh inning. It wasn’t enough as the Lady Bulldogs dropped Woodville 3-1 in the opening game Friday. Shelby Mixon pitched a complete game giving up zero earned runs, six hits, two

walks, and struck out four in the loss. The loss dropped the Lady Eagles to 0-1, needing to win two games Saturday to advance. Both the Lady Eagles and the Lady Bulldogs returned to Lufkin on Friday at 4:00 p.m. for game two. Garrison wasted no time

taking the 1-0 lead in the first inning. The lead was short lived as Woodville scored two runs in the second inning and three runs in the third inning. Garrison started attacking Woodville in the third inning reducing the lead to 5-2 and took the lead in the fourth inning 7-5. Coach Mixon put Morgan Poncho in the rest of the way. Woodville went on to score eleven runs in the next two innings to secure the 16-8 victory. Both teams lit up the scoreboard scor-ing twenty four runs and twenty three hits. Poncho pitched 3 1/3 innings giving up one run for the win. Katelyn Watts, Avery Tolar and White combined for eight hits and five RBIs. The win tied the series at 1-2 with the final

game being played at 7:15 p.m. The Lady Eagles and Garrison both had scoring chances on Sat-urday, but it was Woodville that was able to capitalize on them as they pulled out the 9-4 victory. The Lady Bulldogs outhit Wood-ville 12-10, but stranded nine base runners. White led the Lady Eagles offensively reaching base three times, scoring three runs, and had a RBI. Mixon pitched a complete game allowing four runs, walking four and striking out three. Garrison jumped out early for the third straight game taking the 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning. White’s RBI double in the third inning and Kenzie Magallion’s two run single gave

Woodville the 3-1 lead. The Eagles added two runs in the fifth and four in the sixth to ice the game. Woodville is now 29-4 on the season. Woodville will face Salado in the semi-final round of the play-offs. JuLisa Williams ended her se-nior season with her fourth trip to Austin in the state championship. Williams finished second in the shot put and sixth in the discus. This was Williams fourth year to throw the shot put and fist year to throw the discus at the state meet. Williams will take her throwing talents to Sam Houston State University next year.

This spring the Colmesneil Bulldogs have had three of their seniors sign college letter of intents to continue their athletic careers at the collegiate level. After stellar high school careers that saw them be integral parts of one of the most successful four year runs in Colmesneil history, Cody Walsh, Matt Bailey and Dylan Falcon will get the opportunity to bring their talents and contribute to collegiate programs for the next four years. Cody Walsh, the workhorse running back/linebacker for the Bulldogs, will now be focusing on stopping running backs at the next level as he takes his talents to Wayland Baptist. While at Colmesneil he lettered in football, baseball, track, and powerlifting. He was an All-District performer in football and baseball. He was also a regional qualifier in track and powerlifting. Wayland Baptist has recruited Cody to play linebacker. Matt Bailey, the starting quarterback for the Bulldogs the last two years will be taking his talents to Abilene to play at McMurry University.

On May 8, the Spurger faculty and staff held their annual athletic banquet where they acknowledged the different team’s and individual player’s accomplishments. Along with those recognitions, the ath-letes of the year were announced for the 2013-2014 athletics. The 2013 cross country team, of Dave Pilgreen, Jayvan Fontenot, Cory Hyden, Jentry Jordan, Caleb Winkle, Robby Clark, and Coltyn Simon, advanced to the regional meet. Of the competitors listed, Pilgreen was the district champion. This year’s basketball program was successful from the junior high to the varsity level. The junior high boy’s A team finished with a record

Cody Walsh, Matt Bailey, Dylan Falcon sign to play college ballball, and baseball. Bailey also was a regional qualifier in track. McMurry has recruited Bailey to be a quarterback. Dylan Falcon, starting first baseman for the Bulldogs the last four years will be headed to Galveston to play at Galveston College. While at Colmesneil he lettered in football, basketball, and baseball. He was an All-District performer in football and baseball. Galveston has recruited Falcon to play first base. The opportunity to play at the next level for these student-athletes is a testament to their dedication in the classroom and on the field. This is the culmina-tion of years of hard work and dedication. Each of these young men has made Colmesneil proud and will continue to represent the Bulldog nation in their future endeavors with pride. Bulldogs Baseball The Colmesneil Bulldogs took on the Grapeland Sandies this past week in the area round of the play-offs. The games origi-nally scheduled to be played at Shepherd High School were moved in anticipation of rain to Pollock Central High School. The Bulldogs fought hard dur-ing the series, but fell just short of advancing to the next round. They dropped game one 6-3 and fought until the final out of an exciting game two, but came up short 13-12.

Even though the season did not end the way they had hoped it would, it was still a highly successful season that many programs only dream of having. The Bulldogs were co-district champions and they were bi-

district champions as well as area finalists. They have won 20 or more games in back to back seasons and had numerous players receive individual accolades. Colmesneil graduates a number of seniors this year, but there is still

great talent returning next season and a lot of young talent coming up as well. Although districts have been realigned for next season, the Bulldogs should still be right in the mix of things again competing for another district championship

and they will be working hard to get to Austin and the chance to play for another state champion-ship for the program too.

The team claimed the Regional XIV Title to give them a bid in the NJCAA World Series in St. George, Utah May 14-17. Proud family members are her parents, Bryan and Nancy Morvant and sister Brittany.

Local students honored for work with ‘Do the Write Thing’“Violence may affect you at

school, on the bus, or even at home, but don’t let it define you. In our world, we could all use this advice….. Make today count. Be the one that stands up against violence. I believe that one person can change the world with just a few kind words.” wrote Reagan Alston, National Ambassador for Southeast Texas.

Superintendents, principals, teachers and families joined Dr. Brenda Nichols and Hon-orable Judge Randy Shelton of Jefferson County at Lamar University to create a commu-nity to support and celebrate 17 Southeast Texas Ambassadors. These ambassadors were hon-ored for their written entries to Southeast Texas Annual Do the Write Thing Texas Challenge (DtWT). Jim Baxter, Region 5 ESC Specialist was the Master of Ceremonies and expressed his sentiment as well as amaze-

ment of the articulate words of each student. He told the audi-ence, “We can learn from each Ambassador and their positive outlooks on life.”

Southeast Texas Ambassadors: Jared Abbott, Little Cypress Junior High School, Meagan Clarke, Chester Junior High School, Mia Escareno, Sabine Pass School, Ngoc Huynh, Thomas Jefferson Middle School, Micah Johnson, Vidor Middle School, Olivia Keltz, Little Cypress Junior High School, Amaya Kendall, Little Cypress Junior High School, John “JT” Martin, Chester Junior High School, Jorge Me-dina, Thomas Jefferson Middle School, Rane´Prak, Woodville Middle School, Lauryn Thom-as, Abraham Lincoln Middle School, Dawson Wells, Orange-field Junior High School, Derek Moore, Sabine Pass School *, Gerson Quintero, Abraham Lincoln Middle School*, Madi-

son Taylor, Orangefield Junior High School*, Reagan Alston, Vidor Middle School*, Antho-ny “Marcos” Broom, Woodville Middle School*

A drum roll kicked off the eve-ning as the 2014 Ambassadors walked the red carpet in the Setzer Center Ballroom with Lamar Football players, Logan Moss and Kade Herrington. The national event sponsors 6th, 7th and 8th grade students to write how violence has affected their lives and what can be done to prevent violence in their com-munity as part of National Campaign to Stop Violence.

A special candle lighting ceremony was held during the recognition ceremony. The 2013 Ambassadors, Westley Pollock of Beaumont ISD and Emily Lafley of Vidor ISD, held a ceremony to pass their light forward to the new 2014 Ambassadors. “May you light your path and write the way,”

were the encouraging words of Judge Shelton as he helped light candles and awarded an anti-violence medal to every ambassador.

Michelle Reynolds, Regional DtWT Coordinator stated that the State and National Ambas-sadors will attend an array of activities working with Honor-able Judge Shelton and Lamar University College of Arts and Sciences during the 2014-2015 school year. The State Ambas-sadors are Derek Moore, Sabine Pass School; Gerson Quintero, Abraham Lincoln Middle School; Madison Taylor, Or-angefield Junior High School. Joni Murphy, DtWT State Co-ordinator called the program, “the best model in the state of Texas.” She was impressed with program, especially the students and their teachers. Dr. Bonner from Port Arthur ISD called the event, “professionally inti-mate and beautifully decorated.” The Junior League of Beaumont decorated the event for the heartfelt affair.

The National Ambassadors, Reagan Alston, Vidor Middle School and Anthony “Marcos” Broom of Woodville Middle School will join other National Ambassadors from across the United States to make a dif-ference in Washington, D.C. These students will be honored in additional banquets and their papers will be published in the Library of Congress.

State and National Ambas-sadors will assist in special ceremonies for the 2015 Re-gional Ambassadors. There were many sponsors and community organizations that reached out to make the evening extraordi-nary. To learn more information about the program to volunteer, contact Honorable Judge Randy Shelton of Jefferson County or the Regional Coordinator, Mi-chelle Reynolds.

Journey Into

Fullnessby

Gloria RussellDoers of the Word

“But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves....” James 1:22

A doer, according to Webster, is a person who gets things done. You could say, taking care of business – this business being the good works that follow those who truly believe in Jesus Christ.

It is possible to be the wrong kind of hearer. Churches across America and around the world are filled with “hearers only.” These well-meaning individuals have given intellec-tual assent to certain creeds and are deceived into thinking they are saved.

Faith is active. It is practical, getting right down into real everyday life. Faith produces in you right living, right mo-tives, right thinking and right relationships. Faith is expressed by good works. The things you do confirm whether or not your faith is genuine. Salvation is a free gift received by faith and confirmed by serving God’s people.

Deception is already running rampant in our world today. The Bible warns that in these last days even believers are in danger of being deceived. One of the greatest deceptions is what it means to be saved in the first place. You may hear that being a member of a certain church will make you a Christian. Or, you may think that by agreeing to a set of rules you are guaranteed eternal life. Don’t be deceived.

Here’s what the Word of God says concerning how you can be saved: “For God so loved the world that He have His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.”

Let the Word of God stand. We must not be deceived. All who actively believe in God should be careful to maintain good works.

See you next week, Gloria

The Preacher

Let me tell you about a man who was out of control. He was very rich. In fact he was considered the richest man on earth at the time. He had it all. Wine, women and song were his to have. No one could refuse him. He had been the king’s favorite son, and now he was the king. People came from far away to see his great accomplishments and his wealth. They lavished him with praise. No doubt many idolized him.

He literally discovered the proverbial genie out of the bottle. In 1 Kings 3 God told him because he did not ask for riches, he would be rich. But there was a condition on this man’s fame and fortune. He had to be like his dad. His dad was called a man after God’s own heart. So, if this man followed God like his dad did he would be blessed beyond his wildest dreams.

However a very sad commentary of his life is in 1 Kings 11:1-4. “Now King Solomon loved many foreign women. Besides Pharaoh’s daughter, he married women from Moab, Ammon, Edom, Sidon, and from among the Hittites. The LORD had clearly instructed the people of Israel, ‘ You must not marry them, because they will turn your heart to their gods.’ Yet Solomon insisted on loving them anyway. He had 700 wives of royal birth and 300 concubines. And in fact, they did turn his heart away from the LORD. In Solomon’s old age, they turned his heart to worship other gods instead of be-ing completely faithful to the LORD his God, as his father, David, had been.”

Are you out of control? What do you do when you are? Where do you go when you are out of control?

Solomon learned the hard way! What about you? Next week I will share the rest of the story.

Waiting Patiently for the Lord

by Pastor Ken DeRouen

Send Us Your Church News: religion@tylercountybooster.com

James 5:2-11 - Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered innocent men, who were not opposing you.

A remarkable transformation now rings at the closing of the letter

of James. His tone changes from the thunderous words of righteous indignation which attended his earlier views of sin, and takes on the quietness of loving pastoral encouragement. He exhorts the Lord’s people to live faithfully for Christ as those who live in the Light and in expectation of His return at the end of the age. He calls for patience as they await the Lord’s coming again. Be careful; patience does not hang in mid-air as of abstract virtue as being the right thing to do.

We are promised a prize at the end of our road. Moses was de-termined - his eyes were fixed on the prize - for faithfulness. It is this future that is the goal of godly patience - the future coming of the Lord calls to the life of ongoing faithfulness. James gives us three examples of patience.

First, the farmer waits on the rain. Second, the prophets are to rejoice and be kind when they face insults and persecutions. Third, the patriarch Job was put to the test. Through it all James tells us to remember the Lord is compassionate and merciful.

Blessed of God In The New TestamentCompiled by Gayle Powers from The Holy Bible (NIV)

Matthew 51 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside

and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them. He said: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Matthew 112 When John, who was in prison, heard about the deeds of the Mes-

siah, he sent his disciples 3 to ask him, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?” 4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: 5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. 6 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”

Matthew 1310 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people

in parables?” 11 He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables: “Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand. 14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of

Isaiah: “‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. 15 For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them. 16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. 17 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.

Matthew 218 A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut

branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!” 10When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?” 11The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

Matthew 2534 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are

blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

Mark 1013 People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his

hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” 16 And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.

A 158 year homecoming celebration is planned for Fairview Baptist Church on Sunday, May 18, beginning at 10 a.m. Past and present members are invited to attend services and help us celebrate this very special occasion. Some of our past members and song directors will be joining us and singing in the morning. “Dinner on the Grounds” will be held in the Fellowship Hall following the morning service. Fairview Baptist Church is located at 3025 F.M. 92 in Town Bluff.

Fairview Baptist Church began in 1856 with a small group of people meeting in the school room in Town Bluff, Texas. The church began with approximately 40 members that day long ago and has endured by the grace of God for 158 years.

The original building that was used for church services was also used as a school for the children in the Town Bluff area. All grades met in one building, and the students were taught by one teacher.

In the 1860s the church roll carried family names we are familiar with today – Hicks, Crumpler, Ogden, Pedigo, Walker, Tucker and Hamm, to name a few. Descendants of these early members still reside in the community, and some remain faithful members of the church today.

Groundbreaking for the present building for Fairview Baptist was held in 1968. Two additions have been made to the new building since then. An addition for a fellowship hall and an addition for Sunday school classrooms have completed the present Fairview Baptist Church building.

God has blessed Fairview through many years of growth and change. We pray that He will continue to bless for many years to come.
