Editor's Letter
Southeast Texas Stayca Saves Sanity
I
n the wee hours of the morning prior to leaving for the Houston airport for our flight to Maui, Hawaii, my husband, Carl, woke up with a
stomach bug. He was sick, limp and green. It was pitiful, really. But, we
had tickets to fly to Hawaii, so, I gave him a cold wash cloth and told
him, ever so compassionately, to suck it up. I then loaded him like a
piece of luggage in the back of the car and told my then 8-year-old
son, Joshua, not to talk to, look at, or especially, touch Dad. And we
were off- Highway 90 to IAH.
Our departure flight in Houston was delayed, which meant we
were late getting our connection in Dallas where we were meeting my parents
and flying together to pineapple paradise. As we landed at DFW airport with
10 minutes to cross three terminals and make our flight, I told Carl, who had
been sick the entire flight and had gathered extra motion sickness bags from
airplane seat pockets for his walk through the airport, that I would run ahead
and catch the flight. We instructed Joshua to hang with Dad.
Sprinting at DFW was impossible. The airport was packed with spring
breakers. I walked as quickly as I could and had connected with my parents
via cell phone learning the flight to Maui was still on the ground. We had
time. Occasionally on straight-aways, I looked back to
see Carl staggering from trash can to trash can
but moving forward, and Joshua, dressed in a
bright green GAP sweat suit, was easy to see
a few steps in front of him.
With our gate in sight, I made a final glance back and saw my two companions still steadily moving forward so I made a hard right to the gate agent and,
a closed door. The flight was gone. I started the negotiation process for the
next flight and had just been told we could be booked on a flight six hours
later when Carl strolled up. But where was Joshua? We had a brief exchange
of I-thought-he-was-with-you, and then I ran into the hoards of people and
screamed like Kevin’s mom in Home Alone, “JOSHUA.”
The next thing I remember I was in a white room (Did it have padded walls?)
with a security guard. She was questioning me about Joshua- clothing, height,
hair and eye color, carry-on bag description– while the “what-ifs” churned in
my mind. I was a wreck, pacing and crying while listening intently to her walkie-talkie that sputtered details of the missing child, my child, Joshua. She tried
calming me, explaining that the airport was on lock-down, and no one would
come or go until we found Joshua, and I could hear loud announcements in
the terminals about a missing child.
Carl, although miserably ill, was identified as the saner of the two of us and
whisked off with security to walk the path Joshua had likely taken, straight past
our gate to the end of the airport. And that’s where Joshua was found at the
very last terminal where he apparently decided he was lost and walked up to
a pilot and said, “Have you seen my mom? She has weird hair. They don’t even
have her hair on the Wii.”
The pilot connected with security and asked Joshua if he could take him
to his mom and dad, walking him back toward Carl and the other airport
personnel. Once Carl identified Joshua, we got the message, in the padded
room, that the child was found, which just made me cry harder, tears of utter
joy and relief.
With Carl miraculously better, as if adrenaline had overpowered whatever ailed him, and our family reunited, we caught the next flight to Maui.
Little did we know our pre-vacation challenges were a foreshadowing
of vacay adventures to come. We ran out of gas at the summit (10,000
ft.) of the Haleakala volcano crater and coasted all the way down to
a gas station and were sequestered to our hotel rooms one entire day
because of an earthquake in Chile that set off a tsunami watch.
Hawaii is gorgeous, heaven on earth, and I’d recommend it as a vacay
destination to anyone, but I love being home and recommend a stayca
in Southeast Texas for spring break 2014. If you’re stayca-ing, you’re gonna
love what’s happening this March– Cirque Du Soleil’s Varekai, an Elton John
Concert, The Gusher Marathon, Lamar University’s Le Grand Bal, the Beaumont Heritage Society’s Masquerade Ball and Texas Energy Museum's Blowout. We’ve got all you need to know to go to these events plus we detail some
very exciting April events, too, including the party of the year, Champagne
and Ribs, this year Kickin’ It Cajun Style, and the Southeast Texas Economic Development Center’s Business Week featuring Face Reader
Mac Fulfer. AND we touch on spring in Southeast Texas- the
keeper of the flowers around town, birding, the fair and food
fare, namely Deli Days and St. Joseph’s Day.
Stayca or vacay, plan to plug into some of the great things
Southeast Texas has to offer.

benefiting prostate cancer
oudreaux is bringing Charmaine and Thibodeaux is picking up Marie for the biggest street party this side of the bayou. You and your cher are invited to meet in
the swamp and help us stomp out prostate cancer.
It’s the Julie Rogers’ “Gift of Life” Champagne & Ribs, Kickin’ It Cajun Style. The
Fais Do-Do for the Cause is April 10 at 6:30 p.m. at Cowboy Harley-Davidson Dealership, 1150 Interstate 10 in Beaumont. Individual tickets are $125 with sponsorships from $500 and above.
Laissez les bon temps rouler with Grammy Award-winning entertainer Wayne
Toups, who will take center stage at this eighth annual “party of the year,” honoring Cajun Queen Charline Dauphin and Zydeco Kings Judge Gerald Eddins and
Dr. John Henderson.
Dauphin, who resides in Silsbee, generously supports the Sidney “Chief”
Dauphin Educational Outreach Program in honor of her late husband
Sidney “Chief” Dauphin. In 2013 the program directly reached more
than 8,000 individuals, both youth and adult, in high schools,
churches and community groups teaching healthy decisions, activities and habits that can greatly reduce cancer. Charline and
Chief Dauphin started Texas Home Health, which allowed them
to help families care for their loved ones at home. When Dauphin
sold the business, she had more than 12,000 employees and more than 30
offices across Texas. Dauphin and her daughter, Robin, have generously supported Lamar University and many charities to help those touched by cancer,
including the Charline and Sidney “Chief” Dauphin Cancer Screening
and Prevention Center in Beaumont. Dauphin also served
on the Board of Visitors for M.D. Anderson
Cancer Center in Houston.

“Charline Dauphin is a compassionate civic figure whose
benevolence strengthens the
healthcare, educational and cultural foundation of Southeast
Texas through her support of a
myriad of local causes,” said Norma
Sampson, executive director of the
Gift of Life. “Charline's annual support of the Gift of Life also includes
sponsorship of the mobile mammography van in her hometown of Silsbee,
making available clinical breast exams
and mammograms for medically underserved women each year.”
Gerald Eddins, a Port Arthur native, is
the judge for the Jefferson County Court
at Law No. 1, who formerly practiced law
at the Eddins & Bennett Law Firm LLP in
Beaumont for 34 years. Eddins has been
married to Carol for 36 years, and they have
five children. He is a Charter Life Member
of the 100 Club of Southeast Texas, a Life
Time Member of the East Texas Peace Officers Association, a member of the DPS Officers Association and a member of the Texas
Game Warden Association. Eddins has served
as a member of The Rotary Club of Port Arthur,
Board of Directors of the First National Bank of
Mid-County, South Jefferson County Chapter
of American Red Cross and member of Groves
Chamber of Commerce.
“Judge Gerald Eddins is a respected community
leader who believes the Gift of Life is saving lives in
Southeast Texas and embraces the opportunity to
reduce health disparities for medically undeserved
individuals in our region,” said Sampson.
Dr. John A. Henderson IV is a Beaumont native
and board certified Urologist affiliated with the
Southeast Texas urological Associates. Dr. Henderson graduated from Baylor University and the
University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.
He interned and completed his residency at the
University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.
He and his wife have four children.
“As a longtime medical partner of the Gift of
Life, Dr. John Henderson has shared his medical
expertise at countless prostate cancer screening
sites,” said Sampson. “He has seen firsthand the difference early cancer detection and education have
made in saving lives of Southeast Texans.”
Joining the Cajun Queen and her Zydeco Kings
are Les Honorary Co-Chairs Tracy Byrd, Joe Domino,
Judge Mickey Shuffield, Dr. Leldon Sweet and Les
Co-Chairs Blair and Charlie Foxworth and Shelly
and Carl Vitanza, all ready to stomp prostate cancer.
The Gift of Life’s Prostate Cancer Program is in its
14th year and has provided nearly 7,500 free prostate screenings and 63 men have been diagnosed
with prostate cancer. In the last few years services
have been expanded to include additional health-
care screenings with the dissemination of vital education
information to thousands of
medically underserved men.
“Among American men, prostate
cancer is the second most commonly
diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths. With the region's
unemployment rates, and existing healthcare
gap, many citizens remain medically "at risk" and
confront numerous challenges that present barriers to care,” said Dr. Rufus Marks, radiology oncologist and a prostate cancer survivor, whose PSA was
performed during one of the “Gift of Life” screenings. “Our annual screenings are
hosted in three strategically
selected cities to address the disparities associated with a vulnerable population by providing
free and easily assessable healthcare collaboratively
conducted with physicians and other healthcare
providers who offer consultations to men and
their families. Additionally at each screening, educational materials, presentations and other critical information pertaining to a healthier lifestyle
encourages participants to embrace behavioral
changes for their overall well-being.”
Fuh Shore, Boudreaux and Thibodeaux wouldn’t
leave the swamp unless there were good Cajun
eats, and Champagne & Ribs is offering up Creole

Plus sample specialty and craft beers you may
never have heard of before this one-of-a-kind
street dance under the big Texas stars. There’ll be
so much good food dat you’ll be saying “Coo-Wee”
around the dance floor.

Learn the Importance of Face Reading to Improve Communication
at Southeast Texas Business Week
T
By Shelly Vitanza
he night before my telephone interview with Face Reader Mac Fulfer, he
emailed and asked me for a personal
photo of my face so he could read it
prior to my questioning. I complied
and sent him a happy photo of my husband and me, assuming Fulfer would
say, “Oh, you two are so happy and in
love, and your laugh lines and crow’s
feet indicate you’re middle aged.”
My assumption was as far off as from here
to El Paso. Fulfer spent the first
15 minutes of our
A Few
Face Reading
Facts
Nose Tip Angles Up: People who have this feature enjoy a good time and have a curious mind.
They generally believe in others and are often
willing to suspend their disbelief to hear another
person out. Even if someone claims to have been
abducted by aliens, the person with the nose tip
angled up would often be willing to listen to the
story before walking away.
Nose Tip Angles Down: People with their nose
tip angled down do not extend trust quickly or
easily. They give acceptance only after someone
has proof positive. They are like the people from
the Show Me State, "Yeah, I'll believe you but you
have to show me first."
phone conversation describing my personality
traits and characteristics and even detailing some
of my life’s hurts, challenges and disappointments,
subjects I’ve shared with only a few close friends.
He then read my husband’s face and completely
pinpointed him, too.
“It’s a riot to nail people, especially in an audience,” said Fulfer. “I can give a better profile of
someone than their best friends can.”
Fulfer will “nail” some Southeast Texans April
8, during the first day of the Southeast Texas
Economic Development Foundation’s Business
Week as the featured luncheon speaker at noon
at the Holiday Inn Beaumont Plaza. Not only will
Fulfer read faces, but he’ll explain what face reading or physiognomy, an ancient art known
throughout the world, is and
teach the audi-
ence the basics of reading faces.
“Reading faces is about making connections with
people,” said Fulfer, a trial attorney by profession,
who now travels worldwide teaching people, mainly in the business world, how to determine an individual’s personal history, mental attitudes, character
traits, intimacy requirements, work ethic, personal
preferences and much more simply by the structures and lines in the face. “In any face-to-face interaction that you have with any other human, if you
can instantly know how they feel, think, process and
what their hot buttons are– you’ve got a leg up.”
But face reading is not just about having an advantage or being able to judge people; it’s a teachable life skill that allows better and more immediate
connections as well as more meaningful interaction.
“It’s a daily practice beneficial to all life interactions oftentimes allowing healing because people
can be seen, heard, validated and accepted for who
they are,” said Fulfer.
Tangled Eyebrows: People who have eyebrows
that are long enough for the hairs to cross over or
tangle are very good at playing devil's advocate.
Since they see all sides of an issue, they can argue opposing view even when it is not their own. They will
test every angle of your story to make sure that you
know what you are talking about, so be prepared.
Protruding Cheeks: Protruding cheeks, (also
called "movie star" cheeks) can be found just below
the eyes. Cheeks are our natural signposts that announce our presence, and they are often the first
thing that we notice when we look at someone's
face. A person with protruding or "movie star"
cheeks that reflect the light as they walk into the
room are often seen as being "striking." There is a natural tendency to notice and pay attention to them,
and sometimes, even put them on a pedestal. Isn't
this the kind of attention movie stars often receive?

When you can read every
person like a book it
changes your life.
Mac Fulfer
“We live in such a technology world, now we relate through mechanic devices and are losing the
capacity to get life energy, feedback and acknowledgement from people.”
As an example of the daily practice of face reading and its healing capacity, Fulfer tells of a recent
lunch with a friend where he was completely captivated by the face of their waitress. He noticed
she was an attractive woman in her late 20s with
facial features indicating adversity. He tried to talk
to the waitress beyond ordering lunch, but she was
“closed.” As the lunch continued, the waitress re-
mained non-communicative, and Fulfer became
more and more sympathetic towards her ultimately deciding to tell her what he saw in her face.
“You’re a young age but have incredible depth.
Your courage lines are off the chart, and you’ve got
disappointment lines. Your disappointments have
been intense personal and professional, and you’ve
suffered unbelievable loss, grief and heartache.
Your survivor lines show you’ve faced some things
that would have killed some people. You have real
depth and character.”
Fulfer said the waitress immediately dropped
her guard and shared that she had made poor
decisions early in her life, had been released from
prison two months prior and had five daughters
she hadn’t seen.
In his book, “Amazing Face Reading," Fulfer teaches that the face is a visual metaphor of a person’s
life: “From a face reading perspective, eyes indicate
wariness, noses are about support, and ears reveal
independence. Every feature and every line on a
face is a physical embodiment of the mental, emotional and spiritual patterns and habits of its owner.”
The idea that we physically change as a result
of our life experiences seems to fly in the face of
genetics; pun intended! Aren’t our physical characteristics attributed to DNA coding? Isn’t that what
fifth grade science taught us? We have our mother’s ears and our father’s brown eyes, right?
According to Fulfer our genetic coding gets altered over time through life experiences.
“You have the genes you were born with; you
don’t get new genes, but your genes change
through epigenetics,” said Fulfer. “Genes are dialed
up or down from life experiences, and 60 percent
of how we look is our life experiences.” (Epigenetics
is changes in our DNA coding based on our environment, life choices and experiences.)
In order to read a face, you’ll need to learn more
than 100 facial features, all detailed in Fulfer’s book
and available for easy memorization on flashcards.
More than 2000 organizations, the FBI included,
have hired Fulfer to teach their executives this
nonverbal form of communication to enhance
human interaction and make hiring, business and
financial decisions.
“The bottom line is this... there are 150 things
you need to nail, like multiplication tables, and it
will change your life,” said Fulfer. “When you can
read every person like a book, it changes your life.”

Welcome the Twitchers & Join Them... Be a Birder This Spring!
In January, we committed to feature something NEW to do in Southeast Texas in every issue of the EventsBook. This month we
suggest you welcome the ‘twitchers’ by joining them. Twitchers are birdwatchers who travel from all over the world to known
bird sanctuaries to see specific species. Southeast Texas is a world-renowned birding haven with more than 350 species identified. Considering the whole State of Texas has only identified 639 species and seven of the 10 Southeast Texas birding hotspots are
considered globally important bird areas, why go anywhere else to see rare feathered fliers? As visitors flock, well, like birds, to these
parts beginning in March, we suggest you act like a tourist twitcher- flog a bit and get the jizz because if you dip out you might miss a megatick.
(That’s twitcher talk for: “Beat around in the undergrowth to flush out a bird and observe its behavior, not leaving too soon and missing a most rare bird sighting.”)
Southeast Texas Global Birding Significance
Seven of the 10 birding areas in Southeast Texas are American Bird Conservancy Globally Important Bird
Areas making them among the top 500 birding locations in the country.

sweet Suggestions for the First Time
By Gerald Patrizi
Wine Manager at Debb’s Liquor
I occasionally get asked by people who don’t drink, "What is a good wine for me try?" My usual recommendation is something that is semi-sweet in either red or white. But what makes one wine sweet and
another dry? Rocket science!
Grapes are loaded with sugar when harvested. Through fermentation, these sugars are turned into alcohol by the yeasts that are added to begin the wine-making process. When the yeasts have finished their
job, and the winemakers have properly done theirs, no more fermentable sugar should remain. The result
is what we call a dry wine. It does not mean there’s no sugar left; it’s just that it can no longer be turned
into alcohol, and the fermentation process has stopped.
Conversely, if that process is ended prematurely, then we are left with a wine that
contains varying amounts of residual sugar and is still fermentable. To stabilize the wine
and keep the fermentation process from beginning again, it must be rid of active yeasts.
This is usually done by filtering them out. Depending on how much sugar the original
grapes contained and when the wine-making process was stopped,
the resulting wines will range from semi-sweet to dessert sweet and
be lower in alcohol than their dry counterparts. See, rocket science!
So, back to my suggestions for my first-time wine drinkers. For red,
I really like a semi-sweet wine from Italy called Stella Rosa. This wine is
low alcohol (5.5%), loaded with flavors of red berries and best served
cold. Stella Rosa also produces a white "Moscato D'Asti," and with
its flavors of pears and apples it makes another great beginner
wine. "Moscato D'Asti" has become very popular in the last few
years, and there are many to choose from that all make for delightful drinking. The "Monchhof" Riesling by Robert Eymael is
another excellent semi-sweet white wine from Germany. It has a
honeyed sweetness balanced
by nice acidity with flavors of
peaches and honeysuckle.
The Texas winery Llano Estacado makes a wine called
"Sweet Red" that is very good
and also very inexpensive. It
smells of cherries and blackberries and entices the palate
with its smooth fruit flavors.
Hopefully, this has helped
my first-time wine drinkers
Gerald Patrizi
with a few suggestions. Enjoy!

Drink Seasonally: Brews for Lent & Crawfish
By Brandon East
Mardi Gras has passed and for
Catholics like myself, it’s now the
Lenten season. Don’t worry, there’s a
beer for Lent, too!
Dopplebock is a style of beer historically brewed for fasting during
the spring and Easter season. For centuries, this hefty, malt-forward lager
(deemed as "liquid bread") nourished
Brandon East
many German monks during their
40-day fast.
For students of German beer, the
brands Paulaner Salvator, Ayinger Celebrator and Spaten Optimator serve
as classic yet prevalent examples of
the rich, viscous style. In most cases,
dopplebock brewers name their
beers using the suffix "-ator." My favorite of these three is the 6.7% ABV
Ayinger Celebrator, which showcases
aromas and flavors of heavy toasted
malts, freshly baked bread, sweet caramel, sugared raisins and blackstrap
molasses. Pair with a meat.
Notable is Andygator, from the
regionally well-known Abita Brewing Company of Abita Springs, La.
This variation on the traditional
dopplebock is lighter in color but
packs slightly more alcohol (8.0%
ABV) than the previously mentioned
German dopplebocks. Andygator is
referred to as a Helles Dopplebock
because of its pale malts.
Although Andygator is available yearround, it is recommended to drink seasonally when bidding farewell to winter and ushering in spring. Spring also
means crawfish season for us Southeast
Texans! Pair this honey sweet, crisp
and refreshing beer with just about
any rich crawfish dish, like étouffée, pasta or pie. If
you like crawfish
extra spicy, then
Andygator is for
you. Alcohol and
some hops tend
to accentuate spicy
heat. If you prefer your
crawfish more tame, then
pair them with Abita's Golden.
Cheers!

Mother Nature and thisTeam Make Beaumont Blossom
In winter, beautiful yellow pansies line the beds
at the Julie Rogers Theatre in downtown Beaumont and in summer the gigantic pots in the
medians on Calder bloom brightly with vinca and
marigolds, even on the driest, hottest days. As if
Mother Nature herself nurtures these spaces surrounded by concrete, they remain bright and
beautiful despite the weather conditions. So we
asked to meet Mother Nature and HE gave us a
call! Micah Meyer, Parks Administrator for the City
of Beaumont’s Parks and Property Services and his
small crew is Beaumont’s beautifier, preparing this
time of year to plant more than 900 flats of flowers
for the spring and summer months.
Q: How do you choose the flowers to use in
our crazy 30-70 degree winter weather and
then in our stifling summer heat?
A: Well, I have a degree in horticulture, which
helps, and then we just talk with some of
our employees who have worked with the
city for a long time; we find out what works
and then what didn’t work and try to select
plants that can make it through our winter– pansies and snapdragons, for example.
In summer we select plants that can take the
heat– zinnias, periwinkle, vinca, sweet potato
vine has been a great one; it grows so fast and covers
and is tough as nails; a few little moss rose or portulaca and this year marigolds.
Q: There are beautiful places everywhere.
What are you responsible for?
A: The parks and some other areas like Crow Road,
Babe Zaharias Museum, Sterling Pruitt area, MLK
Park and the Athletic Complex on Langham at the
entrance side, Brown Plaza on Calder, downtown
Beaumont– the Event Centre, the Julie Rogers
Theatre, for example– and the beds and pots on
Phelan and Calder for the most part.
Q: And what does your job entail?
A: Planting, weeding, watering, trimming, pruning, trash pickup, hedge maintenance, spot spray
roundup, some mowing and treating for ants. We
have two color changes each year. In late March
or early April for spring and summer we plant 900
flats of flowers, about 600 in downtown Beaumont
and the remaining 300 around the other locations
we maintain. Then in early fall, October and November, we plant for winter.
Q: That’s a huge undertaking. How big is your
team?
A: The downtown team is five people who take
care of the majority of the downtown area and
then we have others who help when needed and
assist in the other locations.
Q: What are the biggest challenges?
A: Moisture management and weed control, year
around but especially in the summer.
Q: So how do those big pots in the middle of
concrete on Calder get water?
A: We have an irrigation system to those pots, and
we have a water truck. They are usually checked at
least once a week to make sure that the water is on
and sprays where it needs to. We have what we call
an underground bubbler in places like Brown Plaza
where Calder and Phelan split.

The Curtain Goes Up on Quality
Community and Professional Productions
By Ramona Young
Three dramas and a classic musical
take center stage in March in Southeast Texas with a production of “A
Streetcar Named Desire” and “A Soldier’s Play” at Beaumont Community
Players and “The Miracle Worker” and
“Hello, Dolly!” at the Lutcher Theater.
Performing on BCP’s main stage is
the murder mystery “A Soldier’s Play”
by Charles Fuller. The action takes
place in 1944 on a racially-segregated
Army base in Louisiana. Through
the solving of the crime, it explores
themes of racism and the adoption
of racist attitudes by the victims of
racism. Jo Ethel Larsons, a seasoned
director and educator, helms the
production. The play is rated PG13 for strong language and mature
themes. “A Soldier’s Play” runs from
Feb. 21 through March 8.
Playing in the black box at BCP
is Tennessee Williams' classic “A
Streetcar Named Desire.” “Streetcar”
is considered by aficionados to be
the best of the plays written by the
legendary Williams. This production
boasts many talented actors including Jade Oliver, Heather Rushing,
Michael Mason, Michael Saar, Pepper Thompson, Scott Eslinger, Ben
Blanchard, Jodi Reho, Camille Briggs,
Kendall Cockrell and Catalina Castillon. Directing the play is veteran
Gina Hinson of KFDM, whose years
of experience bring the play to life.
The show opens March 28 and runs
weekends through April 12. Tickets
for Beaumont Community Players
shows can be purchased online at
beaumontcommunityplayers.com
or at the box office during regular
business hours at 4155 Laurel Drive.
Over in Orange, the Lutcher Theater will host the touring production
of “The Miracle Worker” at 7:30 p.m.,
on March 7. The play tells the story
of deaf and blind Helen Keller, who,
with the help of her tutor, Anne Sullivan, learns to enter a world of knowl-
A
r’s
Soldie
Play
edge and understanding. The play
takes the audience on an emotional
journey as Helen triumphs over her
anger and frustration at her physical
limitations. The show is a Montana
Repertory Theatre production. The
company has previously visited Orange with their well-received productions of “Biloxi Blues,” “Bus Stop,”
“To Kill a Mockingbird” and “Cat on a
Hot Tin Roof.” “The Miracle Worker”
is sure to add to the Lutcher’s catalog
of quality productions.
On March 26 and 27, the Lutcher
will host the musical “Hello, Dolly!”
featuring Sally Struthers. A winner of
10 Tony Awards including Best Musical, “Hello, Dolly!” is a Broadway classic. Emmy-award winning Struthers
(All In the Family, Gilmore Girls) stars
as Dolly Levi as she travels to Yonkers,
NY, to find a match for “well-known
unmarried half-a-millionaire” Horace Vandergelder. Based on Thornton Wilder’s “The Matchmaker,” the
show features a host of classic Jerry
Herman songs, including “Put on
Your Sunday Clothes,” “It Only Takes
a Moment,” and the show-stopping
“Before the Parade Passes By,” as well
as the title song. This wonderful
musical charmed audiences when
it bowed on Broadway in 1964, and
50 years later it has lost none of
its charm. Tickets for “The Miracle
Worker” and “Hello, Dolly!” are available at www.lutcher.org.

Enjoy a luxurious evening and expand your art collection
By Melissa Tilley
Le Grand Bal– the name evokes visions of elegance and luxury. It is an event that is just as magnificent, if not more, than it sounds. Lamar University’s
Friends of the Arts has been hosting the black-tie
affair as the major annual fundraiser for the College
of Fine Arts and Communication since 1975.
Le Grand Bal is not only a fabulous party. The
event also includes a silent art auction where pa-
trons have the opportunity to purchase an original
piece of art created by a professional artist or one
of Lamar’s own young, talented artists, with proceeds benefitting arts programs.
Le Grand Bal: “An Evening of Art” will be held
on Saturday, March 22. The event will honor Mary
Jane Garth for her contributions to Lamar University, the community and the arts and is chaired by
Sandy and Joseph Fertitta. Garth’s entrepreneurial

spirit and passion for the arts have contributed to
the cultivation of the talents of many students and
culturally enriched the community. She truly has a
passion for music and visual arts, reflected in her
involvement in the Symphony of Southeast Texas
and the Art Museum of Southeast Texas, among
other organizations.
Each year for the Bal, an exhibition is organized
featuring artwork by Lamar students, faculty, alumni and supporters. The Le Grand Bal Art Exhibition
will be on view at the Dishman Art Museum beginning March 3 and culminating with the event
on March 22. Artwork on view runs the gamut of
styles from large to small paintings, sculptures, ceramics and more. It is always a unique exhibition
with diverse themes and the underlying unity of
supporting Lamar’s artistic development.
Le Grand Bal: “An Evening of Art” includes a reception and silent art auction from 7-9 p.m. at the Dishman Art Museum followed by a gourmet buffet,
dancing and entertainment by Beaumont’s Night &

Mid-County Gets Festive: Nederland Heritage Festival
Nederland is a small town with big fun, especially in March when
the Dutch-settled 5.7 square mile community throws one of the family
friendliest festivals in Southeast Texas. The Nederland Heritage Festival is
March 11-16 and includes a carnival, parades, car show, petting zoo, live
entertainment, food, vendors and tournaments of all kinds.
Strategically scheduled the week of Spring Break, one of the most
popular attractions is the carnival offering levels of rides– kiddie, intermediate and thrill– for a variety of ages and speed-seekers.
Competitive types can enter the washer or golf tourney or fun run, or
quest for culinary fame in the chili cook-off.
Show off your ride at the car show and your artistic talent at the art and photography show. Or, just
indulge! The festival features the Cuisine Walk, a sidewalk stroll of great eats for sampling and savoring.
All of the proceeds from the festival are donated
to Nederland Township for betterment of the community. For more information, contact the Nederland Heritage Festival Manager Wanda Hollier at
409-724-2269 and visit the website at www.nederlandhf.org for the complete schedule of events.

Second
Annual
Unmasking the Past:
Moonlight Masquerade Ball
By Beth Gallaspy
Step back in time for a night of
elegance under the stars on the
grounds of a stately, century-old
home on Beaumont’s historic Calder
Avenue. The Beaumont Heritage
Society’s Second Annual Moonlight
Masquerade Ball offers an invitation
to don the decadent fashions of the
1920s or the glamorous garb of the
1930s for an unforgettable evening.
“Everyone who came last year had a
really good time. We’re hoping to have
twice as many people this year,” said
Darlene Chodzinski, executive director of the Beaumont Heritage Society.
Last year’s Moonlight Masquerade
Ball led the way back to the Roaring
20s, embracing a now popular theme
that fits perfectly with the organization’s mission. The Chambers House
focuses on interpreting the historical
period of 1920 to 1945.
At this year’s event, vintage attire
from not just the 1920s but into
the 1930s is encouraged. For inspiration, recall the figure-flattering looks
made famous by Hollywood legends
like Greta Garbo and Bette Davis. Or
check out the gorgeous photos on
the Beaumont Heritage Society’s Pin-
terest, accessible from the website.
One ticket covers all costs for the
evening, from valet parking to the
open bar, Chodzinski said.
The evening will begin with a cocktail
hour featuring elegant hors d’oeuvres
and signature libations of the Prohibition era, including the gin-based Bronx,
the rum-based Planter’s Punch and the
classic Whiskey Old-Fashioned. Masks
proved a popular accessory during
cocktail hour last year, Chodzinski said,
and are recommended.
After cocktails, revelers will enjoy
a seated dinner catered by Bando’s
in a spacious tent on the museum
grounds. Brandy and port will cap off
the gourmet meal, followed by dancing under the stars to the timeline
sounds of the Night & Day Orchestra.
Attending the Moonlight Masquerade Ball will give Southeast Texans the chance to step into another
era for one night while supporting
the Beaumont Heritage Society’s mission of preserving the region’s past.
The society oversaw the restoration
of the 1906 Chambers House beginning in 2004 and has offered tours
since 2007. A significant preservation organization since the 1960s, the
Masquerade
Beaumont Heritage Society also restored the city’s oldest home, the 1845
John Jay French House, and operates
it as a museum. While a foundation
supports the Chambers House, the
Moonlight Masquerade Ball provides
funding for the French House and
other preservation projects.
Ball
When: March 29, 6:30-11:30 p.m.
Where: Chambers House Museum,
2240 Calder Ave., Beaumont
Dress: Vintage 1920s-1930s or
black tie. Don’t forget your mask!
Why: Benefitting the
Beaumont Heritage Society
and John Jay French Museum
How Much: $100 for Beaumont
Heritage Society members,
$125 for non-members
(includes one-year membership)

By Courtney Mleczewski
YOU could win $10,000 in GOLD! Get ready to support a wonderful organization in Southeast Texas and enter to make yourself a mint in GOLD! The
Art Museum of Southeast Texas' annual Go For the Gold event will be Thursday, March 6 at 6:30 p.m. at the museum, 500 Main Street, Beaumont. This
popular and entertaining fundraising event boasts the most exciting raffle in
town! The ticket costs $100 and includes admission, dinner and cocktails for
two plus one entry into the raffle. The excitement builds through the evening
during the reverse drawing where the winner is the last ticket drawn. The last
three lucky ticket-holders to be drawn will win prizes in gold, turning $100 into
$10,000 for the first place winner. The second place winner receives $1,500 in
gold and third place winner receives $1,000 in gold. New this year, keep your
eye out for popular celebrity game show host look-alikes joining in the fun
throughout the evening!
The event's chairperson Christina Delagadillo sums up the evening as "a
good time for a good cause! All the money raised will go back to the educational programs at the museum." Included in the programs benefitting from
Go for the Gold are Art-To-Go, AMSET's mobile outreach program that travels
to various housing complexes, community and retirement centers, and meetings of youth organizations within 90 miles of AMSET as well as Family Art
Days, a free event that encourages exploration of the museum and activities
that correspond to current exhibits. Art After School is a popular program
that brings fourth Graders to the museum touring exhibits and participating
in hands on activities. To purchase your tickets

Temple Emanuel Sisterhood's Deli Days
Temple Emanuel Sisterhood's 27th Annual Deli Day will be Wednesday,
March 5 from 10:30a.m.-1 p.m. (for delivery and pickup) and Thursday, March
6 from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. (for dine-in and pickup). This widely anticipated fundraiser features a New York-style deli meal that includes your choice of turkey or corned beef, homemade cole slaw, a kosher pickle and chips for $12.
Homemade cheesecakes can also be purchased through the event at $30 for
a whole or $15 for a half. Dine-in patrons will be entertained by music from
Lamar University students and faculty.
Each year, the Sisterhood spends countless hours preparing these lunches
to raise money to support multiple charitable organizations in Southeast Texas. During last year's event, the Sisterhood served more than 2,000 lunches
over two days. The highlight of last year's event was the sponsorship of the
Gift of Life Mammogram Van. Through this support, free mammograms were
provided for those served by the Julie Rogers Gift of Life. Sisterhood volunteers welcomed clients of the Gift of Life into the Swerdlow-Roosth Social
Hall of the Temple Emanuel for hospitality and comfort as they waited for
free mammograms. Last year's proceeds also provided food for the hungry
by sending funds to The Giving Field and to Nutrition & Services for Seniors
as well as provided Back to School backpacks for children served by
Some Other Place. This year's event will sponsor many
of the same charities as last year.
Be sure to support the women of
Temple Emanuel and share the Jewish tradition of food and fellowship
through this event. Eat at the Temple,
1120 Broadway, Beaumont or call
the Temple Emanuel Office at
409.832.6131 to place your
lunch order.

Sports Bras- Friend or Foe?
By Amie James
Race Director, Gusher Marathon
[email protected], www.
sportssocietyforamericanhealth.org
One woman’s comfort is another
woman’s torture, in more ways than
one, but let’s just delve into one area
of possible agony- the sports bra.
Finding the perfect apparatus for
your perky pair is no easy task. Not
only is searching for a supportive
and comfortable bra that you can
run, kick, jump, twist, dance and Namaste in time consuming, but it can
also be expensive.
Worse case scenario, you purchase
a bra that feels a-ok while in the
dressing room only to discover during your six-mile run or in the middle
of your Zumba marathon binding,
chafing or the most unbearable of alllocal motion- the sisters are moving.
I’m fairly certain many Southeast
Texas women suffer from bra-buyer
remorse– theory proven a few years
ago when I started a drive called
Supporting Girls In Motion. I asked
women to donate gently used sports
bras to schoolgirls in need. The response was overwhelming. You were
ALL too eager to rid yourselves of
bras that didn’t sustain and maintain.
And that’s the purpose of this
printing. Apparently your sisters are
squeezed, your puppies are pushed,
basically the ta-tas are tired of being
twisted, turned and too tightly or
too loosely bound during exercise,
and you need some help identifying
the right sports bra. We’ve made a
flowchart guiding you to your perfect sport’s unders, plus we gathered
advice from sojourners about their
successes and failures all on behalf of
their breasts.
I took the lead with my preferences
and posed the question about what
makes a great sports bra. The women
of Southeast Texas answered:
Amie James: I like a bra that forms
around and gives 360 support.
Champion at Target was my true
love until they changed the bra to be
convertible and added metal fasteners. I cannot stand anything metal on
a bra. It somehow always finds a way
to spend 8-12 hours gouging into
my skin. And another thing, I have
to wear racerback to be comfortable. Regular straps slide right off my
shoulders so I end up reaching inside
my shirt in public to fix them. Even
on sports bras. VERY annoying. So I
asked... what’s a good sports bra?
Melanie Airey: Enell. With a liberal
amount of body glide.
Callie Summerlin: My advice is to save
your best sports bra for running and
other forms of cardio. If you're just
lifting or doing yoga, you don't have
to have so much support. My favorite is Nike Pro. Quality over quantity.
Great support and totally hot, too.
Rhonda Guidroz Chatagnier: I love my
Under Armour Heat Gear. Offers
great support. The girls stay put
when I run or do any rigorous workout. They are expensive but so worth
the money.
Valerie Breaux: The sports bras I've
been getting from Lane Bryant have
really been great. They bind them
down sufficiently but still give me
shape. I can change the straps from
normal to crossed in the back.
Dawn Guidry Burris: Started out with
Moving Comfort sport bras and
have never changed. They fit well,
some have adjustable straps to ensure a perfect fit. Never have chafing
or any other problems, and they are
very flattering... worth every penny,
especially when they are on sale– run
about $50.
Michelle Lombard: Oh, oh I have an
opinion. The Victoria’s Secret Heavy
Duty bra is amazing.
Elise Becker: I use the Victoria's Secret
Incredible. I love it. Great support
and still looks and feels like a bra. Bras
and shoes are the most personal decisions for runners, and what works
for one won't work for someone else.
Amie Trahan Young: Victoria's Secret
Maximum Support works best for
me. Best I've found so far for real support. About $50 a pair.
Lori Allen Palmer: I usually find one
I love, but then it's discontinued. I
agree with the body glide suggestion
because chafing is a big problem.
Erin Kennedy: Moving Comfort is my
favorite... comfortable with a great
amount of support.
Sonya Achord-Reedy: Victoria's Secret
VSX is my favorite because of support and shape; the only con is the
bra closure in back but the pros outweigh cons.
Colleen Sherren: I found that Under

A Wheelie Good Time in Southeast Texas
Grab your bicycle and ride. The Southeast Texas Hike and Bike
Coalition, the region’s oldest organization promoting safe cycling as
a fun family fitness event, is once again hosting the Texas Big Thicket
Bike Tour, Saturday, March 15, 2014.
The 2014 ride features six routes that are 14, 36, 46, 66, 77 and
100 miles long– options to suit every level of fitness and challenge!
The ride starts and ends at the Big Thicket Visitor’s Center, seven
miles north of the city of Kountze, in Hardin County, at
the intersection of Hwy. 69 and FM 420. Registration
begins at 7 a.m.; the official start time is 8 a.m.
Riders under 18 years old MUST be accompanied by a parent, and everyone, regardless of age
or skill level, MUST wear a helmet.
The rider entry fee is $35 per person or $80 for
a family until the day of the ride; $45 per person
and $90 for a family on ride day, March 15. Register
online at active.com. For more information visit www.funtrails.org.
Armor High Impact gives me max support and their material is breathable.
Lisa Browning Smith: Glamourise. Because it is BIG, supportive, adjustable.
These babies aren't moving anywhere.
Well worth financial investment.
Patricia Curtis: For today Athleta has
one that works for me. Glory bra.
None of the others works for me. I
like an underwire. But others don't.
I think the Fiona is flimsy yet someone else above loves it. Very individual. Get in the dressing room. Run in

finding your ideal sports bra
i
yes
b
i
s
s
mpo
Larger breasts? Vertical Movement? (Running, Zumba, biking, etc.)
A bigger chest and/or quick movement needs more support.
NO
Flat not where it’s at?
compress those breasts!
Encapsulate those coconuts!
Not as top heavy? Doing yoga or pilates
instead? Go to the more tank-top looking
sports bra aisle, but beware of the uni-boob.
Compression bras offer more of a one-round
mound effect, flattening the chest and minimizing movement but with less support for
each breast.
Clutch some compression choices and proceed to the fitting room, making sure to check
out the cute spring shorts on your way.
Encapsulated bras offer greater support by covering each breast individually (think Madonna without the
points and tassels or coconut shells.) That makes them
better suited for a larger chest or more rigorous activities.
So, nab some encapsulating choices and head to the
fitting room. Grab a swimsuit for the heck of it; you’ll be
half naked anyway, might as well try one on.
NO
Size Matters... and so does activity
yes
yes
not up with the cup?
Are the bras you brought with you
just not working? Get back to the
rack and find some different ones.
Or, if you feel an actual cup is more
than you need, go back, pick some
compression bras and proceed.
See also don't stress, just redress.
If you feel a compression style
bra is not going to offer you the
support you need or if you just
aren’t impressed by your current
options, go back and gather a selection of encapsulating choices
or more compression ones.
See also don't stress, just redress.
NO
Fit, the primary factor
Spillage from either side, over or under? Possibility of any
chafing? Or just simply feels too snug or tight?
NO
yes
Shake, rattle and roll
That’s right. Get down. Hear the music in your head
and get down right there in the dressing room. Yeah,
it’s a small space but you can jump, twist, jog in place,
shake your rumba. Do the sisters move with you and
not against you or in opposite directions? Do you feel
any pinching, prodding or poking from metal fasteners
or straps? What about that back strap, is it riding up
your back?
yes
NO
don't stress, just redress
You’ll be miserable. Stop what you’re doing and
head back for a bigger or smaller size, a different
brand. Remember different brands fit differently
and bra sizes vary from brand to brand. A 34 D
in one brand may not fit but will in another. Look
for varying fabrics, fasteners, straps and cuts. Grab
as many as the store will allow you to take in to a
dressing room at one time and have a few in waiting to switch out.
Don't panic, don't give up- consider this a learning experience. The new level of comfort your ideal
bra will offer is going to be well worth this effort,
and once you get this figured out, the next time you
need a sports bra, you will know what you need,
making the process a piece of cake!
the way you make me feel
Yep, touch the bra. Is it smooth? Does it feel good to the touch? Is the fabric comfortable specifically on the straps and the binding area underneath your ladies? Note
the feeling under your arm when you swing your arms. Is there a potential for chafing
with repetitive motion? What’s slightly noticeable now will be unbearable during exercise. Remember your lingerie drawer doesn’t need another bra. This one needs to be
in the sports drawer for regular exercise use.
NO
not quite yet... but it will happen
If you’ve had to go to redress more than
three times, then you do not pass the check out
collecting a lip gloss but proceed to the nearest
exit to find a new store and start over.
!
!
!
s
ye
yippeeee!
Proceed to check out and get
yourself a lip gloss. You deserve
to shine for your success!

FBI Director
to Speak
The Texas Energy Museum Blowout will feature Robert S. Mueller, III,
Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation from 2001-2013, at its annual Blowout, March 27 at 6:30 p.m
at the Beaumont Civic Center. The
dinner benefit is $100 a ticket with
sponsor levels beginning at $1000.
Proceeds go to the museum’s exhibitions and public education programs
focusing on the history and science
of Texas oil.
George W. Bush nominated Mueller as the sixth director of the FBI and
he was sworn in one week before
9/11. His 10-year term was extended
by two years at the request of President Barack Obama.
“We are extremely pleased to be
presenting Robert Mueller as this
year’s Blowout speaker,” said Robert
Johnston, Blowout chairman and
plant manager of the ExxonMobil
Beaumont Chemical Plant. “Director
Mueller is an energetic and respected
speaker who continues the Texas Energy Museum’s tradition of providing
nationally prominent speakers for
our Southeast Texas community.”
