It’s Graduation Time
Again In
Tyler County
Tyler County is blessed with five outstanding school systems, and each year The Tyler
County Booster recognizes on our front page those students who have reached the
pinnacle of academic achievement during the year.
These students are clearly intelligent and hard working to have become Valedictorians
and Salutatorians, but have not achieved these honors alone. The parents that motivated
them and the many fine teachers in Tyler County that educated them need also to be
recognized for their many years of hard work.
See all this year’s grads beginning on Pg. 1C of this issue of the Booster!

Tyler County Sheriff ’s Deputy Kasey
Whitworth was dispatched to County
Road 4875 May 22 in reference to
someone stealing some pieces of equipment from an oilfield site in the area.
According to Tyler County Sheriff
Bryan Weatherford, deputies arrived
on scene and saw fresh tire tracks along
with two distinct sets of footprints at
the oil field location. All of the prints
were made after a large rainstorm that
came through in the early morning
hours of May 22.
The complainant said that he saw two
white males driving a red Jeep wrangler
towing a trailer covered with a tarp near
the intersection of C.R. 4875 and Hwy.
1943 E. The tire tracks at the scene
matched those of a jeep towing a trailer.
Deputies left the scene and began
searching for the vehicle, and a short
time later the complainant called and

crashes in Texas in which
unrestrained occupants
sustained fatal or serious
injuries. Preliminary data
show that 2013 traffic fatalities across the state are
up by 11 percent over 2012,
with more than half of the
state’s fatalities occurring
in rural areas. Wearing your
seat belt increases the odds
of surviving a serious crash
by 45 percent.
Since 2009, Texas law requires all vehicle occupants
to buckle up 100 percent of
the time. All occupants of a
vehicle, no matter their age,
must be secured by a seat
belt, no matter where they
are seated in the vehicle.
Unbuckled drivers and
occupants could face fines
up to $200. All unbuckled
passengers will be cited individually. Kids are covered,
too. Children younger than
8 years old must be in a child
safety seat or booster seat
unless they are taller than
4 feet 9 inches. Fines are
up to $250 plus court costs.
Texas passed our first state
law mandating seat belt

End comes to State Legislative regular session
AUSTIN — Texas lawmakers finally passed Senate Bill 1, a state
budget for fiscal biennium 20142015, on May
26, the 139th
day of the
140-day regular session of
the 83rd Texas
Legislature.
Next stop will

Pe r r y ’s d e s k

Ed
billion budget
Sterling
– which came
in at about $7
billion more
than the estimated budget for the
current fiscal biennium. Perry had
asked lawmakers to make about $2
billion in tax reductions, but the
budget he will be looking at brings in
cuts totaling an estimated $1 billion.
Various other legislation also on the
way to Perry, for example, changes
student testing requirements, benefits char ter schools, increases
Medicaid funding, allows issuance
of campus “carry” permits and much
more. Among bills Perry already
has vetoed was one that would have
identified individual citizens who
donate to so-called “dark money”
organizations. The veto period will
end June 16.
In passing the budget on the Senate side, Senate Finance Committee
Chairman Tommy Williams, R-The
Woodlands, credited his committee
and each member of the Senate for
producing a “fair and reasonable”
document. House Appropriations
Chairman Jim Pitts, R-Waxahachie,
who along with Williams was the
main architect of the budget on the
House side, credited his committee
for its work.
One piece of legislation that passed
in the final week of the session that
does not require any action by the
governor is Senate Joint Resolution
1, a proposed amendment to the
state constitution that will appear
on the Nov. 5 statewide election
ballot. Voters will decide if they
want to finance water infrastructure improvements by amending
the constitution to create a state
water implementation fund in the
state treasury, outside of the general
revenue fund. The money, $2 billion
initially, would be withdrawn from
the state’s so-called Rainy Day Fund,
a savings account built up primarily
from natural gas tax and oil production tax revenue, that may be used
to respond to emergencies such as
those caused by wildfires, hurricanes
and drought. The transfer of funds
out of the Rainy Day Fund requires
enabling legislation, in this case, HB
1025.
and identify the different types of
vegetation. We also need someone –
could be the same ones who mark the
plants – to take a trail map, which we
already have, and mark the three trails
on the property. This also might be
a good project for a scout looking for
a merit badge in this area. We have
made some headway in this area but
help would always be appreciated.
We need someone to make the actual
permanent markers for the Nature
Trail. We are hoping for some kind
of metal sign that won’t rust but can
be printed upon. Any ideas?
We are in need of some help in clearing an area so that we can expand our
current parking lot by the Gift Shop
and Pickett House. A chain saw, ax,
or bush hog would be helpful, along
with someone to use them. We would
like to get this finished before summer
ends so that we will be able to have
the enlarged parking area finished by
Harvest Festival.
If you have just a little time and
would like to help with the copying
and mailing of our monthly newsletter, we have a job for you. Carol
Shields, our genealogy librarian has
been working with cataloging new
materials and working with the lateral files. If you have some knowledge
in this area, Carol would welcome
your help. She probably also has
some other jobs that you will be able
to help with.
The various jobs that I have mentioned are not gender specific. We
welcome anyone with some time and
the desire to be helpful. We will
take as little or as much time as you
have. Just call Heritage Village at
283-2272 to volunteer your time. We
are lucky because we definitely need
people to help us with our mission
to preserve history for present and
future generations. We are blessed
because you answer our call each time
it goes out. Thank you.

The proclamation directs that all

On May 20, Perry renewed the
emergency disaster proclamation
he originally issued on July 5,
2011, certifying that exceptional
drought conditions posed a threat
of imminent disaster in specified
counties in Texas. The number of

Supplemental bill passes
House Bill 1025, the supplemental
appropriations bill, covers various
funding shortages in the current
state budget until Aug. 31, the last
day of the fiscal year. The bill, heavily
amended in the Senate, is undergoing scrutiny in the House.
Authored primarily by Chairman
Pitts and Chairman Williams, HB
1025 includes $450 million to repair, maintain and improve state
roadways in areas impacted by energy exploration and development, such as the Barnett Shale in North
Texas and the Eagle Ford Shale in
South Texas. Money to repair county roads, however, is not included in
the legislation.

lage very lucky
people because
we always need
someone to do something - or two!
I looked back at columns as far back
as 1990 and the need for people to
help has been a recurring theme.
Now that most of the large tours have
finished until fall, we are in a window
of opportunity to finish up on some
projects and get started on some new
ones. We need someone – perhaps
a family – that likes to walk nature
trails and who knows something about
our native trees, shrubs, and plants.
We need them to identity the trees
and plants along the trails and place
markers on them so all who walk the
trail will be able to read the signs
HB 1025 also would put $200
million in new money into public
education. Combined with the
education funding increases already
in the budget bill, that works out
to between $80 and $400 more per
student in nearly every district in
the state.
Lawmakers also passed HB 500 by
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Harvey Hilderbran,
R-Kerrville. The bill revises exemptions and deductions under
the business franchise tax and expands the kinds of businesses that
qualify for a reduced-tax rate for
retail trade. HB 500 also excludes
a number of expenses from being
counted as revenue and revises “cost
of goods sold” deductions.
Lum and Abner
If you’re an older East Texan, the chances are good that you remember Lum and
Abner, the lovable proprietors of the Jot ‘Em Down Store in Pine Ridge, Arkansas.
In the 1930s and 1940s, the Lum and Abner radio show was one of America’s
most popular radio shows, often outranking Amos and Andy and Jack Benny.
On the first weekend each June in Mena, Arkansas--where Chet Lauck (Lum)
and Norris Goff (Abner) grew up and started their careers--the Lum and Abner
Festival pays tribute to the duo with musical performances, reenactments of their
radio shows, the showing of some of their seven movies, music of all types, and
special events like baby-crawling contests and antique tractor shows.
You will always find at the festival an ample crowd of East Texans who have driven
up Highway 41 between New Boston, Texas, and Mena, a distance of about 90
miles.
Lum and Abner started their careers with an imitation of Amos and Andy and in
1931, they were scheduled to appear in Hot Springs. But on their way they passed
through the small town of Waters, stopped at a local store, and decided at the last
minute to appear as two old-time Arkansas storekeepers. They invented the names
of “Pine Ridge” and “the Jot ‘Em Down Store.”
Their popularity took off and just three months later they made their national
radio debut on NBC Radio from Chicago with Quaker Oats as their first sponsor.
For the next 25 years they delighted American audiences. Their radio show was
lengthened from 15 to 30 minutes.
By 1953, television was the rage in America and Lauck and Goff developed a
television plot, but Goff ’s health problems were too much for him. So Lum and
Abner retired.
Lauck moved to Houston, worked as a public relations man for Conoco Oil
Company and continued to speak throughout the U.S.
One night in the 1960s, while I was working for the Houston Chronicle, Doris
and I drove from Lufkin to Crockett to report on a chamber of commerce banquet
where Lauck was speaking.
When the event ended, the chamber’s manager asked us to drive Lauck back to
the Lufkin airport in our car.
So, for the next hour, Chet Lauck joined us in our Volkswagen, his six-foot frame
folded in the front seat, and talked about Lum and Abner.
Lauck had the ability to do all of the voices on the old radio show: Cedric Weehunt,
Grandpappy Spears, Squire Skimp--and even his partner Abner Peabody.
It was a marvelous, one-man radio show that Doris and I will remember the rest
of our lives.

Webb family worked WITH ‘The Help’ at our house
My family’s experience with The Help
predates the movie’s time setting by 15-20
years.
If you grew up in the South and had
African-American ‘help’ in your home,
then you probably saw and understood the
movie. Many of us who were born in the
late 1930s, ‘40s and early ‘50s, and whose
parents had help in our homes can identify
with the pride, passion and pain of this
extremely well done story. The movie was
based on a 2009 book of the same name
written by Kathryn Stockett.
The Help debuted in 2011 and was
nominated for four Academy Awards: Best
Picture,Best Actress and two cast members
were each nominated for Best Supporting
Actress. Octavia Spencer won the Oscar.
This film won the Screen Actors Guild
Award for Outstanding Performance by
a Cast in a Motion Picture.
People born and raised outside the South
who saw the movie, I’m sure felt at least
that racism in the South was soft-pedaled
in The Help. My experiences and recollections tell a different story.
Basically, the maids in this movie, set in
the early 1960s, are convinced by a young
woman, the daughter of a well-to-do family, to tell of experiencing racism in their
jobs. She has essentially been raised by her
family’s maid and feels very strongly about
the maid’s happiness and wellbeing.
The young white woman writes a book,
using a fictional town and fictional names
for the large group of maids that bare their
souls to her. Some people figure out the
book is about them. They are irate and
vengeful. Some maids lose their jobs and
are abused.
It is painful to watch and a sad commentary on race relations and the treatment of
blacks in the South.Despite my journalism
training, I was so wrapped up in The Help
that I felt tears rolling down my cheeks
more than once. There were moments of
joy and good fun as well.
Though I never knew my own family to
mistreat any individual because of race,
we didn’t speak out against the practices
of separatism and the inferred inequality
of African-Americans.
As a young boy, my family lived on a
farm-ranch in an unpainted frame house.
Dad and Mom bought and leased enough
property to raise cattle and to grow crops
for the principal purpose of feeding the
cattle. Any feed overages were sold and the
black families shared in that according to
their time spent with each crop. Housing
was part of their sharing as well.
On the Freestone County farm-ranch,
three black families — Fred and Maylou
Pruitt, Columbus and Beulah Henderson,
and Good and Zell Durham — had similar
but smaller houses.
My next oldest brother,Kerry,and I played
with the Pruitt and Henderson children
every day (the Durhams had none). We
were miles from other families and, being
pre-schoolers, saw little of anyone else.
Maylou assisted Mother in our house.
They worked together cooking, cleaning,
washing,ironing and seeing after the chickens. The other two pitched in as needed.
Each home had their own garden in which
they grew much of the food they ate. Each
raised hogs and chickens as well.
CMYK
Fred Pruitt was a versatile worker and
the only one who
could handle a
horse well, so he
helped Dad tend
the cattle.
Ultimately, we
moved to Teague
and saw little of
By
the three families
except Maylou,
Willis
who continued to
Webb
help Mother with
her chores with our
growing family,now numbering three sons.
Mother often referred to Maylou as her
friend.
The family grew to four sons and as we
all grew up and went off to school, there
were long periods where we didn’t see the
three tenant families.As we each left home,
the load on Mother lessened and she was
able to do without Maylou’s help much of
the time. Finally, one brother, Clydell, was
drafted into the Army and assigned to duty
in Vietnam.
Upon completing basic training, he got
a leave before shipping out. We were all
visiting, and looked out the window as a
car drives up and out steps Maylou. We all
ran outside to greet her, coming our way,
arms spread out and tears streaming down
her cheeks: “I came to see my boys.”
Dry eyes were at a premium. Just like The
Help.

The Preacher
Says...
Journey
Into
Fullness
by
Keith Bellamy

VICTORY
Gloria Russell
“Victory at all cost. Victory in spite of all terror. Victory no
matter how long and how hard the road may be; for without
victory there is no survival.” Winston Churchill, May 13, 1940
This was the creed Americans grew up under in the war years
of the 40s. I can remember learning my first cheer when I was
about five years old:
V-I-C-T-O-R-Y, Victory! Victory! Apple Springs High!
Victory implies the winning of a contest or struggle of any
kind. The alternative is defeat. There’s an interesting word that
describes far too many in this century—defeatist. Webster says
this is a person who too readily accepts or expects defeat.
Spiritually speaking, this is a person walking in unbelief,
being tossed around like a yo-yo, living as though there is no
God, as a victim of circumstances, the economy, job market,
culture, etc. These people go to every other source for relief
rather than to trust on God’s strength for victory.
One of the glaring examples can be found in Exodus 16. Immediately following a spectacular deliverance from Pharaoh’s
army with a miraculous crossing of the Red Sea, the children
of Israel began to grumble and complain.
“Oh, that we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of
Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat and when we ate bread
to the full! For you have brought us out unto this wilderness
to kill this whole assembly with hunger.”
Unbelief and faith are as different as defeat and victory.
Followers of Jesus do not live a defeated life. I John 5:4 seals
this truth for us: “For whatever is born of God overcomes the
world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our
faith.”
The victorious Christian life is only possible through Jesus
Christ. He paid the price with His blood and came to life
again so you can walk in faith and victory. I Corinthians 15:57
reminds us of this powerful truth: “But thanks be to God, who
gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
See you next week, Gloria

I was recently sitting in McDonald’s visiting
with friends and someone said, “Look at the
rainbow.” Indeed, it was beautiful!
Judy Garland made the title of our article a
very popular song many years ago. I recently
reviewed the lyrics of this song and saw what
she was singing in print. Sometimes we hear a
song and maybe we don’t pay attention to the
words.
As I read the words of the song I wondered if
little Judy ever saw the rainbow. She was very
popular and yet she struggled with drugs and
alcohol abuse, which eventually led to her death
at the young age of 47.
So many people come to me wanting help,
and yet, when I tell them what they need to
do, they reject my advice and persist in going
down that path that Judy Garland traveled.
I am reminded of Naaman in 2 Kings 5. Naaman was a successful military commander. The
problem was that Naaman had leprosy. He was
told of a cure for his incurable disease and instead
of going to the one who had the cure, he went
to the king. When Elisha gave instructions how
to be cured Naaman got mad. Finally, he did
what he was told to do.
As I read this story over and over again, I
thought of the many that I see who want a cure
for what ails them but they don’t really want to
put forth the effort.
Somewhere over the rainbow there is a cure.
His name is Jesus. His Way is the only Way
( John 14:6).
Why don’t you try His Way, which is the only
Way? You will be glad you did!

Common Cents...by Don Jackson
It is an awesome thing to go through life with great confidence that you
are in good hands. I believe Allstate insurance has this as the theme for their
company. Their customers are given a message of assurance that no matter
what happens their insurance company will be there to help pay the cost. It
is encouraging in one’s life to have someone to go to in time of need that will
have compassion upon them. Well, from the encyclopedia of Don; success
in life is all about having the right relationships. One must have relationships
that can lead,guide,guard and protect them.I firmly believe in the quote that
no man is an island. At some time or another we are going to need some
help in order to make it. Life simply is not possible if we have a delusion of
seclusion.
So what kind of relationships should we seek to embrace? I have a few tips
that I would like for you to consider. You will need someone who you can
talk to. One who is willing to listen to the things that are important to you
without you having to listen to them. It’s no good if you want to be the talker,
but always end up having to listen instead. You will need someone who you
can trust, because you don’t want to hear your words from someone who you
were not speaking with.You will need a relationship from someone who you
can look up to, knowing that they understand your plight and understand
your fight. You will need a relationship from someone who will support you
in your battles or go to battle for you. Then finally you will need someone
who you can depend upon.When no one else is available, you know you can
depend on them.
You may be thinking,“Now where in the world am I going to find someone
like this?” I hate to disappoint you, but there is no one in the world who can
bring this type of relationship. I had to look to heaven and find Jesus. My life
turned from complex to simple, simply because I found a friend in Jesus. My
friends, what a friend we have in Jesus!
Briefly,let me share some of the benefits of this personal relationship that we
can have with Jesus. If we will be his sheep, he will be our shepherd. He will
make us to lie down in green pastures.We are assured of the proper provisions
that we need and we will live comfortably.Our devotion,location,occupation
and preoccupations will enable us to green pastures of good fortune. We will
not be stuck on some dead grass. Secondly, he will lead us beside still waters.
Yes, the right relationship with Jesus will teach us not to get into anything
that may take us too fast. We are able to plainly see that we need to distance
ourselves from fast talkers and fast walkers. Thirdly, a personal relationship
with Jesus will restore you and not let you run on empty. It is so good to
have someone to fill us back up after someone or something has completely
drained us. Finally, my friends, I want to tell you that you need this personal
relationship because it will lead you down the right path.Jesus will make sure
that your happiness is secure because it will be due to your holiness. I must
inform you that any happiness without holiness will have a hole in it and it
will run out very soon. Again if your happiness is based around something
that is unholy, everything you are building yourself up on will soon be gone.
In closing, it is my hope that you have or will investigate having your own
personal relationship with the Lord; because The Lord is our shepherd…We
shall not want. He makes us to lie down in green pastures. He leads us beside
still waters.He restores our soul.He leads us in the path of righteousness….It
is so good to know that we are in good hands because we are in God’s hands.

and utility player Kyle Hathaway.
Coach Joe Wofford was also
honored in being named Coach
of the Year. With the end of this
season the Warriors will be losing
their ten seniors: Dylan Watts,
Kyle Adams, Chase Foxworth,
Hunter Holloway, Chase Gray,
Kolton Perfect, Bryce Glosson,
Austin Phillips, Gage Gresham,
and Dylan Brocato.These seniors
made up a large portion of the
team so we should expect to see
a lot of new faces next season.
Girls Softball
The Lady Warriors also pulled
together a solid season finishing third in the district. The
Lady Warriors made it to the
playoffs, but were not able to
keep the momentum flowing as
they were eliminated in the first
round. Despite that setback the
Lady Warriors also came away
with many All-District honors.
Kacy Priddy received Offensive
Player of the Year and Josie
Walters was named Catcher of
the Year.The first team picks were
Kaylon Morvant and Aleisha
McNulty, and the second team
picks were Haleigh Broucher
and Karli Welch. Bergandie
Conner, Brandi Hamilton, and
Bethany Derouen all received
Honorable Mention. The Lady
Warriors will lose seven seniors
with the end of this season:
Katie Fortenberr y, Brandi
Hamilton, Aleisha McNulty,
Kaylon Morvant, Kacy Priddy,
Josie Walters, and Karli Welch.
With the loss of these seniors
the Lady Warriors too will have
many new faces. Along with
these newcomers, the Lady
Warriors also look to be under a
new coaching staff. With these
changes next season looks to be
an exciting one.

games, along with lunch. At the
end of the day, Coach Mitchell
awarded Aaron Ford and Kelsey
Sheffield with male and female
athletes of the year. “They are
very hard working individuals
who I am going to miss very
much”, is just a portion of the
nice things he had to say about
the two athletes. All coaches

By: Jason Drake
The Woodville Lady Eagles
earned top spots in district. The
Lady Eagles went undefeated
in district and were area finalist
this past season. Pitcher Cayla
White was named the Most
Valuable Player. Cayla is a senior
pitcher and will be taking her
talents to Trinity Valley Community College next year. Senior
Sarah Reese was announced as
Utility Player of the Year. The
future looks bright for Lady
Eagles softball, as sophomore
shortstop Ashton Weatherford
earned Defensive Player of the
Year. Ronnie Brown was Coach
of the Year.
Woodville had five other players earn first team all-district
honors, including three in the
infield. Junior Mallory Watts
was chosen at first base. Tamara
White is a junior and was selected as catcher, while sophomore
Makenzie McGallion earned
a spot at third base. The other
two spots on the first team were
Kati Crenshaw and Katie Watts.
Crenshaw is a sophomore that
played centerfield and Watts is a
junior leftfielder. Senior second
baseman, Morgan Hammons
earned second team honors.
Junior Amy Havard, was also
announced as an honorable
mention designated hitter.
The Lady Eagles look like a
team to reckon with next year.
Woodville will return the Defensive Player of the Year, along
with five first teamers, and an
honorable mention. The seniors
will be hard to replace, but it
appears as the Lady Eagles are
prepared to reload.

Seales smelled marijuana coming from the vehicle and stopped to
question the female, who was identified as Shynisky Marie Glenn, age
18, of Lufkin. Permission was given to search the vehicle, and Seales
observed an unmarked prescription pill bottle with some white pills
and dark colored bag rolled up in the seat that Glenn was sitting in.
“Glenn stated that the pills were her pain medication,” Weatherford
said.
Deputies also located a purse nearby, which Glenn admitted belonged
to her. After searching the purse, deputies uncovered a clear bag of
marijuana. The dark colored bag and the pill bottle in the vehicle also
contained marijuana. The pills were identified as four bars of Xanax.
The marijuana field-tested positive, and weighed approximately 5.4
grams.
Glenn was placed under arrest for Possession of a Controlled Substance
Penalty Group 3 in a Drug Free Zone, Possession of Marijuana in a
Drug Free Zone and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
“Since Lake Tejas is school property, it is a drug free zone,” Weatherford said.

Meads stated that she was heading to her house, but when she
provided her driver’s license to Deputy Seales it stated that she had
a Lumberton address.
Seales asked Meads where she lived, and she stated she lived in
Lumberton. Meads admitted to drinking a couple of alcoholic beverages earlier. When deputies asked Meads if she knew where she
was, she stated she was on Highway 69 heading into Lumberton.
Deputy Seales conducted several field sobriety tests, which Meads
failed.
Meads was placed under arrest and taken into the Tyler County
Jail where she provided a sample of her breath, which revealed her
Blood Alcohol Level was at .38.

The Booster will be covering each of the five School Districts in Tyler County,
through the eyes of their superintendent during the coming weeks. Enjoy!
Colmesneil ISD 2012-2013 School Report
By: Jessi Sanders
Colmesneil ISD Superintendent Stacy Ackley discussed the
many advances the District has
made this 2012-2013 school year,
including the commendable academic and athletic performance
of the District, technological
developments, and facility improvements.
Academically, Mr. Ackley
stated that the District has a
lot going on for their students
and is offering classes which
teach horticulture, landscaping,
journalism, broadcasting, welding, and building trades. The
two new Agriculture teachers,
John Holland and Katie Mouton are particularly focusing
on horticulture / landscaping
skills, and encouraging students
to acquire their welding certification. Band director Charlie
Horton retired, although he
will still be a part of the band
program as he mentors the new
director Catherine Gramlich.
High School Principal Walter
McAlpin reported that the pass
rate for exit level tests was 90%,
and that the English Language
Arts exit test scores achieved a
100% pass rate. Additionally,
100% of seniors are ready for
graduation.The District is also in
the process of getting all teachers AP certified, and paying for
students who wish to take the
Advanced Placement test after
completing the course work.
The Colmesneil athletic program enjoyed much success this
year, making it to the playoffs
with their football, volleyball,
and girls’ basketball teams. The
volleyball team achieved their
best record in several years, and
this year was the first time in nine
years that the girls’ basketball
team went to playoffs. The girls’
and boys’ Junior High and High
School track teams won District
for the first time ever, and the
High School sent 17 students
to the Regional track meet. Both
baseball and softball teams were
undefeated in District.
Colmesneil ISD has implemented many new technological
advances in the 2012-2013 school
year, and has plans for improvements for the 2013-2014 school
year. Technology director Mark
Simmons says that the District’s
focus on technology is caused
by a desire to “move kids closer
and closer to a digital education
environment that will create
individualized learning. Each
student learns differently… and
we can use digital technology to
customize their learning.” One
such technological implementation is the TriCaster which
teacher Kathy Gobert is using
to teach students all about
broadcasting. Her classroom
possesses the same technology
as real broadcasting stations
such as Channel Six, including
cameras and Teleprompters.
The students are learning skills
such as graphic design, directing,
producing, acting, behind the
scenes work such as running the
necessary cables, sound effects,
and creating computer generated
backgrounds. Since August, the
class has been developing daily
morning announcements, and
will be broadcasting them into
every classroom beginning next
year. Freshman student Dalton
Davis said that although he has
not completely decided what
his future career and educational goals are, he feels that
this class is preparing him for
future possibilities. Beginning
next school year, Colmesneil
will be engaging in 1:1 implementation of Chromebooks in
grades 7 through 12, becoming
the first school in Tyler County
to do so. While remaining in
strict compliance with the Child
Internet Protection Act, each
classroom in the District sports
a PolyVision board, each teacher
has a laptop, each classroom has
a WiFi access point and three
laptops for student use, and
the entire infrastructure has
been redone with new pieces
and is purposefully oversized to
support future growth. In the Elementary School, every teacher
has an iPad, and each classroom
has a PolyVision board and
Apple TV, in addition to access
to mobile iPad carts, mobile
Chromebook carts, and computer labs. One innovative device
which Colmesneil just received
last week is the Stratassyst Mojo
3D printer. The printer creates
functioning objects by using two
cartridges which produce ABS
plastic (the plastic that Legos are
made of ) and an Eco-friendly
water soluble base plastic. This
allows the printer to replicate
both positive and negative space,
creating objects with moving
parts. This technology will be
implemented into the classroom
by allowing students to apply
their classroom learning such as
measuring objects in math, the
shapes of geological landforms,
simple shapes in elementary
classes and bone structures in
high school science to create
their own objects using the
AutoCAD program Sketch Up
Pro. In July, the District will have
the Voice Over IP phone system
installed, which will drastically
cut phone costs and allow for
discreet emergency notifications.
Out in the Ag shop, the students
are working with state of the
art equipment such as a CAD
machine which the students use
to cut designs and parts from
metal, and the newly purchased
Scotchman Iron Worker which
shears angle iron and sheet metal,
Colmesneil students Broderick Jenkins, Mckenzie Rogers, Andrew Harmon, Connor Ackley and Kameron Lindsey.
and punches holes.
The District embarked upon
several facility projects this year,
some of which have already been
completed, and some which are
currently underway or planned
to occur over the summer. New
scoreboards have been installed
on the baseball and softball fields,
and will be installed on the football field over the summer. The
football field has been tilled and
planted with new grass, and the
stadium bleachers and press box
construction will be completed
in three weeks. In July, the old
gymnasium will be painted red
and white on the outside, and
will be refurbished on the inside.
The new digital school marquee
should arrive very soon, and is
scheduled to be installed before
graduation. At Lake Tejas, two
water inflatables have been added
to the extended swimming area,
in addition to covered tables. In
the future, a playground for the
smaller children will be added.
In general notes on the District, Stacy Ackley specifically
remarked on the excellent job
of all of the staff members of
Colmesneil ISD. He stated that
the teaching staff cares so much
about the students and work
hard to do whatever it takes to
make their educational experience positive. Additionally, Mr.
Ackley commended the cafeteria
ladies who “do a phenomenal
job” of helping make the CISD
cafeteria “one of the best cafeterias you can have in a school.”
Overall, Mr. Ackley expressed
pride in the Colmesneil School
District, and enthused about the
great advancements made during
the 2012-2013 school year.
Four local high school seniors awarded
scholarships from Sam Houston Electric
Sam Houston Electric Coop- ment, activities, future plans, “We see our scholarship program funded from unclaimed capital
erative is proud to recognize four
area graduating seniors, Kaleb
Bendy, Sara Grimes, Matthew
Moore and Shelby Pate.
Bendy, Grimes and Pate, of
Chester; and Moore, of Good
Samaritan Fellowship, are among
the 31 Sam Houston EC 2013
scholarship recipients. The winners were selected from a pool
of nearly 120 applicants representing schools throughout the
Co-op’s service territory.
After careful consideration of
each student’s academic achieve-
financial need and personal
recommendations, Sam Houston
EC awarded a total of $84,000
in scholarships to 31 graduating
seniors. Scholarship winners may
apply the funds toward tuition
and fees at the Texas college or
university of their choice.
The Sam Houston EC scholarship program is one of many
ways the Co-op gives back to the
communities it serves. “Today’s
youth are tomorrow’s leaders,”
says Sam Houston Electric Cooperative CEO Kyle J. Kuntz.
not only as an investment in our
youth, but also in our community
as well. We’re proud to support
these outstanding young men
and women as they pursue their
dreams through higher education.”
Since its inception in 1992,
the scholarship program has
benefited more than 530 local
students to the tune of $814,000.
The program is reserved solely
for students whose parents or
legal guardians are Sam Houston
EC members. Scholarships are
credit payments returned to the
Cooperative by the State of Texas.
Sam Houston EC received its
charter May 16, 1939, and has
been providing electricity to East
Texas ever since. The Cooperative was founded by a handful of
farmers and rural residents who
dreamed of bringing “power to
the people.” In the early 1940s,
there were just over 600 Co-op
members. Today, Sam Houston
EC serves 52,000 members and
69,000 meters across parts of 10
counties.
TWILIGHT CAMP provides an evening out at camp for boys and girls who will be entering grades K - 5th in the Fall. The dates are
June 11 (Tuesday) and June 13 (Thursday) and campers may attend either, or both. Activities are scheduled from 6 - 8 p.m. and will
include a snack, a short hike, a craft, and the fun of learning new games and some lively camp songs. This is a great opportunity for
your camper to meet some of the summer staff for this season. Parents may drop off their children at Twilight Camp, or they may stay
for a Parent’s Orientation about Niwana, while the children are busy having fun at their activities. Registration is limited and advance
registration is required. The cost is only $5 per child per evening, so it’s an affordable way to introduce your child to the idea of going
to camp. The registration deadline is June 8, and the registration form is available on the website at CampNiwana.org, in the section
for Forms (Registration Form - Twilight Camp). Please print and complete the form, and then mail it with payment before the June
8 deadline. Or, contact Barr Houston, Camp Director, for more information at 409-283-3224.

Hails“Doc”Taylor – Anzio Combat Veteran Christian
Jasper Hails “Doc” Taylor, 91
this year, said, “I never thought a
time would come when one just
could not go where one wanted
to go.”
Doc’s sorrowful sentiment
weaves itself gently between an
infinity of sublime memories of
ranging through the woods and
“creek bottom” that he has loved
dearly for over seven decades, his
portion of Hickory Creek.
Born in Port Arthur, Texas,
he said, “Life started when we
moved up here to Warren. I was
12 years old. A paradise wilderness, open range everywhere – I
loved it!” Doc said, vigorously
articulating. “Never wanted to
leave it! Still don’t!”
No electricity. “Liked to killed
momma.” Doc smiled. “I was in
hog heaven. Fishing, hunting,
shinning fish, gigging frogs.”
Shinning fish? Doc nodded.
“You bundle a bunch of strips
of lighter pine and light the top.
Fine torch! Hold it over the creek
as you walk the shallows. Hit the
fish with your knife. Or shoot the
.22 into the water, which would
stun the fish. We hunted all over
this place.”
Doc married Peggy on June
9, 1958, and built a house across
from his parents on the east side
of Hwy. 69. They still live there,
and their son Hails built a house
a little deeper into the woods on
the same place. Before finding his
love, though, he had to go to war.
“I was intensely interested
in electronics,” Doc said, “and I
taught myself from encyclopedias and anything I could find. I
learned enough to get my Second
Class Radio License. Got my
draft notice in late 1942, and that
radio license guided me straight
into the Signal Corps.”
After field artillery training at
Fort Sill, Okla., they headed for
Oran, North Africa, then over
several months they went to
Algiers, Tunisia, and to Naples
in late 1943.
Doc reflected, “The Apostle
Paul landed in a little place
close to Naples. I did not know
anything about Scriptures then.”
Part of Operation Shingle, they
were sent to Anzio, a resort town
about 30 miles south of Rome,
allegedly where Nero fiddled
while Rome burned. But no fiddling in 1944. Over two dozen
books have come out on Anzio,
some with teasing sub-titles such
as the Edge of Disaster, Epic of
Bravery, Death Trap, and Agony
at Anzio.
A scare deep in Doc’s soul has
haunted him these last 70 years.
Anzio – the Allies pushed
up the Italian boot through
two German defensive lines
and were halted midway at the
Gustav Line. Churchill hoped a
landing at Anzio, north of the
Gustav Line, could outflank the
Germans. But Gen. Patton told
Gen. Lucas that he could not
get out of that alive and to “read
his Bible!”
When the armada of 374 vessels arrived, Gen. Lucas reported
in code at 0300 on January 22
that the landings were underway,
surprisingly with little resistance.
By midnight on the 23rd, 36,000
men and 3,200 vehicles had
secured a defensive line four
miles inland.
Also at 0300, news reached the
head of the German military in
Italy, Field Marshal Kesselring.
Hitler was informed at 0600 at
his Wolf ’s Lair.
Anzio – the Allies held about
10 miles of coastline north and
south of Anzio, radiating out
for a 30-mile inland battle line,
about the size of a single Tyler
County precinct with 100,000
men and thousands of vehicles
and artillery. The Germans had
marshaled 140,000 to surround
Anzio.The major battlefield from
Anzio to Rome was smaller than
Tyler County. In the end, of the
240,000 on both sides, 56,700
(one-in-four) became causalities,

twice the population of Tyler
County.
Infuriated, Hitler personally
ordered the “abscess” south of
Rome eliminated.
“Artillery was king,” historians
have said, and indeed it was, a
king of hell. The Germans sent
about 1,500 rounds a day. By
February 16 they were sending 20,000 rounds a day. The
Germans reported 75% of their
casualties from Allied artillery.
So much killing.
VI Corps radio artillery man
Doc Taylor said, “Hell! Four
months of it! It took us that
long to break out of there. About
three times, the Germans almost
pushed us out. It is hard to describe the daily artillery and aerial
bombings. Every single day! We
set up our camp in a wine cellar.
It was perfect safety … when you
got down into it. I’d go to sleep
to it like music. Slept like a log.
Just a routine.”
Was there wine in the cellar?
“Was when we got there. None
when we left,” chuckled Doc.
“Several got court-martialed
because they got so drunk they
could not work. I just did not
like it.”
Doc was part of a four-man
radio crew. “The command post
would send a message on fire
direction, map coordinates, how
many rounds per gun, and time
on target. I’d acknowledge and
then relay the message to the artillery. Hundreds and thousands
of rounds. I blew up everything
they told me to blow up.”
Doc’s firing routine was not
without humor. “It hurts if you
are too close to one of those 155mm Long Toms. Everybody that
went to Anzio was in the thick
of it. Even the hospital got hit.
It got so routine.” Doc chuckled.
“While we were raining shells on
them, the Germans were flying in
from Rome, bombing and strafing the beachhead. Screaming in
at high speed, they would drop
anti-personnel or bigger bombs,
then fly out as fast as they could.
If they fooled around, they got
shot.”
The devastation Doc directed,
even these years later, still strikes
him with awe over all of the fire
power and carnage. What a day’s
work! A German or American
soldier would disappear from a
direct hit, blown to bits. Whoosh,
kaboom, and gone! Missing in
action.
“One could feel the explosions. The radio broke one day,”
said Doc. “When I checked it, a
piece of shrapnel had gone clean
through it. When I opened the
radio, the piece of shrapnel had
busted the tops off of the tubes. I
replaced the tubes, and the radio
worked fine. The shrapnel could
have gone through me!”
Doc paused. Reflected. “The
sights and sounds cannot be
duplicated on TV. I had many
frightening moments and near
misses…. Artillery day and night
coming in around the clock! By
the grace of God, I survived. I
know what real war is!”
A surgeon, nurse, cook, mechanic – everyone in Anzio was
subject to disappearing or getting
a Purple Heart.
The Anzio hospital was called
“Hell’s Half Acre.”AnzioBeachheadVeterans.com recorded 22
Medals of Honor given, the most
for any WWII battle.
Some went mad. Others steeled
their hearts.
One day, Doc was scurrying
about town and got too close to
one round from Anzio Annie, a
CMYK
huge 231-ton 11-in. railroad gun.
The shock wave knocked him
down. Deaf and disorientated,
he could not walk or think for a
few minutes. He recovered, but
has not forgotten.
Doc’s wife Peggy chimed in,
“God saved him for me!”
On May 15, 1944, the Allies
broke the Gustav Line and raced
north to Anzio. On May 23, at
0545, the combined Allied forces
of 150,000 let loose Operation
Buffalo and a thousand-plus
cannon, mortars, and tank guns
lit the sky. Forty-five minutes
later the Allies emerged to cut
Hwy. 7 through to Cisterna. After
two fierce days, they broke out of
Anzio on May 25.
“The front at Anzio just fell
apart,” Sgt. Doc Taylor said,
“and we just spilled into them.
It took all of one day, and most
of the next day before the whole
7th Army rolled into Rome. We
were welcomed like heroes.”They
captured the Eternal City on
June 4, 1944.
The greatest praise came after
the war when Field Marshall
Kesselring said, “If you had not
pitted your strength against us at
Anzio-Nettuno you would never
have landed in Northern France.”
Doc was involved in five official battles. The Naples-Foggia
Campaign landed in Italy and
took Naples. The Rome-Arno
Campaign included Anzio, the
taking of Rome, and a push north.
The Southern France Campaign
moved up the Rhone Valley to
northern France. The ill-fated
Rhineland Campaign could not
break the Siegfried Line. The
Central Europe Campaign raced
across Germany and to its surrender on May 7, 1945.
“As we advanced up Southern
France, we would go through
these little villages, and the
people were enraged at what
the Germans had done,” Doc
emphasized. “One little old
woman would approach a weapons carrier with a bottle of wine.
She’d hold out the bottle with a
glass and ask,‘Kill Germans? Kill
Germans?’ If yes, she’d give them
a drink of wine.”
“Bruyeres – the one I like to
tell,” he continued, “it began to
snow. We had to find places to
spend the night. We found a
farm house. One of us went to
the house. A lady came to the
door and was scared to death.
She did not know us. She let us
move into the wine cellar. Each
day we would drive down to
chow, and we would bring some
food back for her, her father and
brother. After a few days of that,
she began to see we were not like
the Germans. She moved us into
her warm kitchen. That wood
stove was going strong and felt
good. Her name was Anna. I’ll
never forget her.
“After about three weeks, we got
orders to advance. As we walked
out of her home, Anna followed
us. Crying. She went to each one
of us and kissed us. She gave me
a photo of her family. I still have
it to this day.” Doc showed an old
photo that Anna had given him.
“Her brother Henry had been a
circus clown. They had a little
field where they raised potatoes.
We would go out and help them
harvest the potatoes.”
Holding the photo, he said,
“Anna is seated on the left next
to her father, and her brother
Henry stands on the far left. I
think that was all that was left
of her family.”
Anna wanted them to rememcont. 5B

ber her, as she would remember
them.
Doc’s outfit headed for the
German Siegfried Line.
“One of us was chosen,” Doc
said, “to take a 2-1/2 ton truck
to the rear of the line, to get food

J. Sabinera, Italian, full blood.
Soft heart.” Doc’s voice rose with
pride. “He unloaded half of that
truck at Anna’s house. As good
as he was, he was an avowed and
vocal atheist. How remarkable
is that?” Doc grinned. “I was
not much of anything then. We
talked a bit. But, what an irony
that was, that such kindness came
from an avowed atheist.
“For us, the war ended on May
8, 1945, on the edge of Garmisch,
the German city where they had
the winter Olympics in 1936
[first to feature alpine skiing].”
Doc headed back to the states.
“When I got out of the Army.
I was the most miserable human being,” Doc said. “My
attention was drawn to the Rev.
Harry Hodge of the United
Gospel Tabernacles. He would
preach every morning at 0745
on KFDM, Monday through
Friday. It was just what I needed.
I just got attached to the thrill
of gospel,” he said, rolling his
voice to emphasize. “My ears
immediately picked when he
preached. The Word came pen-
etratingly into my heart.This was
the gospel.”
Doc worked for KFDM, Beaumont, for 23 years as an engineer,
taking care of their transmitter.
Then he went to Lufkin for three
years to work for KTRE-TV and
helped them install their station.”
One day in Lufkin changed
his life. A school teacher named
Peggy brought her students to
the station for a visit.
“I saw her for the first time,”
Doc said decisively.
Love at first sight?
“Love at first sight! There was
never another girl. And never
another man. Both of us.”
Of their three boys, Hails,Todd,
and little Kyle, they lost Kyle to
cancer just before he turned 10
years old.
“He was a special fellow,” Doc
mourned.To this day, if he reflects
more than a minute or two, a few
tears come to his eyes. “Kyle …
the cute way he would respond
to questions.... ‘What are you
doing, Kyle?’ And he would say,
‘Being here’.” Doc looked down.
Another tear.
Melissa Carson remembers
attending first grade with Kyle
at Warren Elementary. “A really
sweet boy…. One of our class
projects was to make wild animals
out of wooden sewing spools – so
much fun. When we were done,
our whole ‘zoo’ was presented
Anna is seated on the left, and her brother Henry stands on the far left.
to Kyle. His quiet calmness and
sweet demeanor will always stay
in my heart.”
Doc and Peggy’s youngest son
Todd is a programmer for Battelle and lives in West Richland,
Wash. Their oldest son Hails
taught at Woodville ISD, then
developed his own computer
programming company and
today he consults for Nautical
Control Solutions while pastoring Chester Baptist Church.
From 1992, for about 14 years
Doc volunteered at the Gib
Lewis Prison. When his lifelong
friend Dr. Bob Larson had to quit
teaching at the prison, Doc took
over his Bible study class. Even
these 80 years later, Doc and Bob
still communicate regularly.
For a long time, Peggy raised
Protecting your landscape from wildlife damage
by Melinda Myers
They’re cute, they’re furry and
they love to eat – your landscape
that is. If you are battling with
rabbits, deer, groundhogs or other
wildlife, don’t give up. And if you
are lucky enough to be wildlifefree at the moment, be vigilant
and prepared to prevent damage
before these beautiful creatures
move into your landscape to dine.
Anyone who has battled wildlife
knows the frustration and difficulty involved in controlling
them. Your best defense is a
fence. A four foot high fence
anchored tightly to the ground
will keep out rabbits. Five foot
high fences around small garden
areas will usually keep out deer.
They seem to avoid these small
confined spaces. The larger the
area the more likely deer will
enter. Woodchucks are more
difficult. They will dig under
or climb over the fence. You
must place the fence at least 12”
below the soil surface with 4 to
5 feet above the ground. Make
sure gates are also secured from
animals.
Some communities allow electric fences that provide a slight
shock to help keep deer out of
the landscape. Another option
is the wireless deer fence. The
system uses plastic posts with
wire tips charged by AA batteries. The plastic tip is filled with
a deer attractant. When the deer
nuzzles the tip it gets a light
shock, encouraging it to move
on to other feeding grounds.
Scare tactics have been used for
many years. Motion sensitive
sprinklers, blow up owls, clanging
pans and rubber snakes strategically placed around a garden
may help scare away unwanted
critters. Unfortunately urban
animals are used to noise and
may not be alarmed. Move and
alternate the various scare tactics
for more effective control. The
animals won’t be afraid of an owl
that hasn’t moved in two weeks.
Homemade and commercial
repellents can also be used.
Make sure they are safe to use
on food crops if treating fruits
and vegetables. You’ll have the
best results if applied before the
animals start feeding. It is easier
to prevent damage than break
old feeding patterns. Look for
natural products like those found
in Messina Wildlife’s Animal
Melinda Myers photo
Stopper line. They are made of
herbs and smell good, so they
repel animals without repelling
you and your guests.
Live trapping can be inhumane
and should be a last option.
Babies can be separated from
their parents, animals can be
released in unfamiliar territory,
and trapped animals can suffer
from heat and a lack of food and
water. Plus, once you catch the
animal, you need to find a place
to release it. The nearby parks,
farms and forests already have too
many of their own animals and
therefore they don’t want yours.
The key to success is variety, persistence, and adaptability. Watch
for animal tracks, droppings and
other signs that indicate wildlife
have moved into your area. Apply
repellents and install scare tactics
and fencing before the animals
begin feeding.Try a combination
of tactics, continually monitor
for damage and make changes
as needed. And when you feel
discouraged, remember that gardeners have been battling animals
in the garden long before us.

Woodville resident receives Engineer Ring
from McNeese University during ceremony
Nineteen engineering students
and faculty were inducted into
the Order of the Engineer
Ring Ceremony conducted by
the College of Engineering
and Engineering Technology
at McNeese State University.
Darth Battise of Woodville was
inducted in electrical engineering.
The Order of the Engineer was
initiated in the United States to
foster a spirit of pride and responsibility in the engineering
profession, to bridge the gap between training and experience
and to present to the public a
visible symbol identifying the
engineer.
The Order is the roster of
engineers in the United States
who have participated in an
Engineer’s Ring Ceremony and
who have publicly accepted the
“Obligation of an Engineer.”
The Ring Ceremony is the
public induction of candidates
into the Order of the Engineer,
during which the engineer
candidates formally accept the
obligation and receive a stainless steel ring to be worn as a
symbol on the fifth finger of
the working hand.
Spurger students participated in a Food Show, held in their
cafeteria, presented by Region 5. Students were invited to taste
test food that could be available for next school year. The students
were then allowed to vote for their favorites.
