Drunk driver leads Deputies on extended high speed chase
On June 22, at approximately
3 a.m., Deputy Chuck Marshall
and Deputy Kasey Whitworth
were dispatched to a suspicious
vehicle on County Road 4850
in the Warren area. The complainant said that they had seen
someone slumped over in the
driver’s side of a small car on the
county road.
According to Tyler County
Sheriff Bryan Weatherford,
Deputy Marshall arrived first
and observed a pickup driven
by the complainant sitting in
the roadway, and shortly after
he observed the small car pull
up behind the truck and rammed
the truck in the rear.
Deputy Marshall told the driver
to exit the vehicle. At that time,
the car backed down the road
and turned around to head south
on County Road 4850. Deputies
Marshall and Whitworth both
activated their emergency lights
and attempted to stop the vehicle,
but the driver refused to pull over.
Deputy Jerry Laurent joined
the chase at that time, and
they began to pursue the car
at speeds of 45mph to 55mph
south into Hardin County on
County Road 4850, also known
as Pineville Road. The suspect
vehicle turned right on Gore
Store Road, increasing speed to
65mph to 85mph. The suspect
vehicle then turned right onto
Highway 69 traveling at speeds
of 120mph plus back north into
Tyler County.
Deputies pursued the vehicle
until it turned right onto County
Road 4750 to F.M. 1943 East.
Deputy Jerry Laurent took the
lead in the pursuit when the vehicle turned on 1943 East, until
it turned on County Road 4470,
which turns into County Road
4472. The suspect vehicle continued on to Allison Cemetery,
where it crashed into a light pole.
The suspect vehicle left the light
pole, turned around and continued to travel south on County
Road 4472 and onto County
Road 4470 at speeds of 60mph
to 80mph.
The vehicle then returned to
Highway 69 south traveling
toward Warren when the driver
lost control of the vehicle in the
southbound lane and left the
roadway on the right side of the
road. The driver regained control
of the vehicle and went back on
the roadway, but the vehicle lost
its left front tire in the accident.
The driver continued south on
Highway 69 and turned left on
F.M. 1943 East, also known as
Warren-Fred Highway.
Deputies pursued the vehicle
until it left the roadway and
came to a stop near County Road
4455. Patrol cars immediately
surrounded the vehicle, and the
driver attempted to back up and
struck the front of a patrol car,
damaging the left front bumper
and headlight. Deputy Whitworth was also parked behind the
suspect’s vehicle and the vehicle
backed up and hit the front of
that patrol car as well, causing
damage to the bumper.
The suspect in the car refused to
comply with deputy’s commands.
Once it was observed that the
driver had no weapons in his
hands, the driver was removed
through the driver’s side window.
The driver, identified as David
Chaz Conner, age 22, of Warren
was arrested and charged with
Evading Arrest or Detention
with a Vehicle, two counts of
Aggravated Assault of a Public
Servant, Driving While Intoxi-
cated 3rd or More and Driving
With License Invalid and Previous Conviction, among other
pending charges.
“Police are always asked when
they should disengage when a
pursuit like this begins,” Weatherford said.“In this case,when the
driver made the aggressive moves
of ramming into another vehicle
right when the deputies were
watching, it was obvious that
this person was intoxicated and
there was something wrong and
they needed to be stopped, so the
decision was made to continue
the pursuit, due to that and the
fact that it was 3 a.m and there
was very minimal traffic on the
highways and county roads.”

Editor’s Note: The Tyler County Booster is pleased to introduce
a recurring column that will run regularly on Page 3A of the

Not as many, I suspect, know the inspiration for the title of
the column, Huntley’s sidekick, Joy!

by Huntley Kennison
Since my retirement from the
family mercantile business in
Tyler County, I have labeled
myself a wanderer. Folks on
the street frequently ask me,
“What have you been doing
since you retired?” My honest
response frequently is,“Oh, just
wandering.” I have wandered
quite a bit through the woods
of East Texas, south to the
beaches of Galveston, west to
the Hill Country, north to the
Azalea Trails in Tyler, and northeast all the way to the
craggy shorelines of New England and Nova Scotia. In all
these wanderings I have been awed by the majestic beauty
of nature in each of these settings and the friendly acts of
kindness offered by local residents to a total stranger wandering in their midst. Servers in restaurants, innkeepers,
and regular folks
encountered on
the streets have
all seemed intent
to help make
my visits to their
neighborhoods
a beautiful and
wonderful experience. And
indeed they have
succeeded, for I
am still wandering, sometimes
back to the same places—wanders with joy.
Now the next question from some inquirers is a natural
one, “Do you travel alone?” My frequent response is, “No,
there are three of us.” Then later, after quizzical looks,“Me,

Booster Wins Two
First Place Awards
The Tyler County Booster is the recipient of two firstplace awards in the Better Newspaper Contest, sponsored
by the Texas Press Association (TPA). Awards were announced on June 22 at the Hyatt Regency in Houston.
This year 148 newspapers submitted 1,505 entries, which
were placed into 10 divisions, in which newspapers competed against those of similar circulation size, according
to TPA. The Booster took first place in Special Sections
and in Web Site.
In the Special Sections category, the Booster submitted
the 2012 Discover Tyler County Magazine for a first place
win. Judges wrote, “Talented staff gave professional look
to this Special. Well-deserved first place in a competitive
category”.
In the Web Site category, the Booster submitted www.
tylercountybooster.com for the win. Judges said, “I love
this site. The layout is clean and aesthetically pleasing. I
like the splash and top stories on the home page. There’s
great use of space throughout the site, and it’s easy to
navigate. My only critiques are if there’s a photo gallery
section, I couldn’t find it. Also, the story font is a tad small.
Otherwise, great site!
The 2013 contest was judged by the Arkansas Press Association as part of the annual Better Newspaper Contest
swap.

and at that time made contact with Melanie Shepherd,
age 44, of Woodville.
When deputies asked
Shepherd if there were any
weapons in the home, she
said no.
Deputies began the search
and observed a gun cabinet,
but Shepherd stated that
there were only two muzzleloader rifles inside. Deputy
Laurent then observed a
small black and pink pipe
with burnt marijuana inside,
as well as a dish containing
what appeared to be marijuana seeds. After searching
the bedroom area, deputies
found a container. After
asking Shepherd about the
container, he stated that
there might be marijuana
inside. The container did
contain a large amount of
marijuana, as well as rolling
papers. Deputies also found
a large set of scales, multiple
plastic baggies and several
cut straws.
Deputy Laurent searched
under the bed and observed
a green Ghillie suit. When
he removed it, he saw approximately 16 shotguns
and rifles under the bed.
He also recovered a small
green ammunition can in
the closet containing marijuana as well as additional
firearms.

Woodville High School FCCLA (Family Career and Community Leaders of America, formerly known as
FHA) and HOSA (Health Occupations Student Association) chapter members traveled Thursday, May 16,
to Galveston to present a $500 donation to the Shriners’ Hospital. The donation was the result of a successful Easter basket sales fundraiser, which the two student associations co-sponsored. Special thanks
are due to the Express Mart in Warren, to Woodville High School administrators and to the community
for supporting and encouraging this worthwhile project, which is expected to become an annual event.
The Galveston field trip included a tour of Shriners’ Hospital and an opportunity to visit with patients, as
well as - of course - a stop at the beach. Kathy McDonough (FCCLA) and Angela Hollingsworth (HOSA)
sponsor the two student associations.

On May 7, a 91-yearold resident of Woodville
Health and Rehab reported
that a personal credit card
had been stolen and used
without permission.
Officers met with supervisors and the Rehab center
and after interviewing some
of the staff determined that
one of the staff members
was suspected in being
involved in the theft.
Officer Dees of the Woodville Police Department
determined that there were
several charges made on
the credit card at the local
Brookshire Brothers as well
as cash advances.There were
numerous charges spanning
from the April through the
first of May. Officers were
able to obtain store video
surveillance that corresponded with the times that
the card was used and were
able to identify a suspect
that was later determined
to be an employee of the
Woodville Health and
Rehabilitation Center.
According to Captain
Mike McCulley of the
Woodville Police Department, the administration
of the Woodville Health
and Rehab Center was
contacted and was able to
verify the identity of the
staff member using the
stolen card in the video.
The staff member was
positively identified as
Linda Fay Lee, age 55, of
Hillister.
Once Lee was identified,
Officers were able to set
up an interview with her,
and she admitted to taking
the 91-year old resident’s
card and using it without
permission.
A warrant was issued for
Lee’s arrest, and she was
brought in and charged
with Credit/Debit Card
Abuse. Due to the victim
in the case being over 65
years of age, the charges
were increased to a third
degree felony.
The victim will not have to
pay the fraudulent charges
on her card.

House vote clears way for new abortion regulations
AUSTIN — Legislation to revise redistricting maps, regulate abortion and
change punishment guidelines regarding
youths convicted of a capital
felony occupied
state lawmakers
in special session
last week.
C a l l e d
by Gov. Rick
Capitol Highlights Perry on May
27, the 30-day
By
session ends on
Ed
June 25. DrawSterling
ing the House
floor spotlight
through Sunday
night and early Monday morning was
Senate Bill 5, relating to the regulation
of abortion procedures and providers.
Citizens for and against crowded Capitol
corridors and the House gallery. SB 5,
tentatively approved on a 97-33 vote at
3:24 a.m., faces a final vote before moving
back to the Senate.
The legislation proposes to amend the
Health and Safety Code and the Occupations Code regarding regulation
of abortion procedures, providers and
facilities, prohibiting abortions at or after
20 weeks post-fertilization and adding a
violation related to abortions performed
after the same time window to the list of
prohibited practices by physicians or license applicants. Included is an exception
that allows an abortion in the physician’s
reasonable medical judgment that so
complicates the medical condition of
the woman, to avert the woman’s death
or substantial and irreversible physical
impairment of a major bodily function,
other than a psychological condition.
The legislation also directs the Texas
Medical Board to assess penalties on
physicians for improperly distributing
or prescribing abortion-inducing drugs.
And, the legislation would create a new
minimum standard for abortion facilities
licensed by the Department of State
Health Services. Such a facility would
be required to meet the new standards
by Sept. 1, 2014.
Republican members, leveraging a 40seat majority of over Democrats, moved
bills forward to comply with the wishes of
Gov. Perry, but Democrats brought their
arguments to the fore through proposed
amendments, although all failed on votes
to table them.
Two among many arguments were the
adverse and disproportionate effects of
the great distances women from rural
and remote areas would have to travel to
get to one of five facilities that currently
could be qualified to perform abortions
under the bill and that 26 percent of
Texas women do not have health insurance.
The House on June 24 preliminarily
passed SB 23, relating to the punishment for a capital felony committed by
an individual younger than 18 years of
age.The bill proposes to allow a 17-yearold offender serving a life sentence the
eligibility to apply for parole after serving
40 years.
The House also tentatively approved
SJR 2, a proposed constitutional amendment to change how dollars are moved
from the state’s general revenue fund to
the so-called rainy day fund on transfers
based on oil and natural gas production
taxes.
Votes on the preponderance of special
session legislation have been along party
lines, with Democrats voting in opposition. Some lawmakers who challenged
bills said that ultimately the abortionregulating legislation would not stand
up to scrutiny by the courts, nor would
bills revising certain redistricting maps
and limiting a jury’s ability to mitigate
Heritage Village Unique With
‘Hands On’ Exhibits
The mission of Tyler County Heritage Society is
to preserve the
past for future
generations. We
strive to achieve
that mission
by maintaining Heritage

artifacts from
approximately
1840-1920.
Our brochure provides some information about each of our buildings,
and labels on some of the items help
to identify the purpose and age of the
item.
Heritage Village is unique because our
artifacts, for the most part, are available
for touching. We find that children
of school age can relate to these items
because our docents describe them as
items that their great-grandparents
and ancestors before would have used
or known about. For our seniors who
visit, the Village is a trip down “memory
lane” for most of them: they remember
the different articles in the buildings.
It might be that their parents or grandparents had similar items.
One of our special buildings is the
Cherokee Church. It was taken apart
and moved from the Cherokee Community to Heritage Village where it
has become important as a place for
concerts and church services. It is also
growing in popularity as the place to
have small weddings. We have had
several scheduled each year that I can
remember since I’ve been involved with
the Village. In addition to the church
we can provide a garden setting in the
Village, and the Pickett House for
the reception. We can also cater the
reception and provide the cake. What
more could you need? We cannot supply the groom or bride but everything
else can be arranged. Give us a call at
(409) 283-2272 to ask questions or to
put your wedding on the calendar.
This is the time of year when families
visit as they move from area to area on
vacation. Some come in automobiles,
in motorhomes, or on motorcycles.
Some even fly in and land at the county
airport!
Did you know that Heritage Village is
listed by the Pilot’s Association? Pilots
fly into the airport, call the Village, and
we pick them up to eat at the Pickett
House and tour the Village. That is
just another way we have of getting
more people from around the country
to visit. We regularly have one or more
planes come in and most have found
out about us through word of mouth or
through the pilot’s group. Talk about
good advertising!
And speaking of advertising, as you
and your family travel this summer
please be “Tyler County proud” and
talk about all the great places that
tourists can visit. We have found
that “word of mouth” is the best and
cheapest form of advertising. A good
recommendation from someone who
has been to an attraction is the very best
endorsement. We find that many of
our visitors from different states come
because someone told them Heritage
Village was well worth their time. Help
us spread the word this summer!

composition of Texas House districts.
Tentatively approved by the Senate
earlier in the week, the bill came back
to the Senate with several amendments
passed to allow certain Democratic
members in abutting House districts
to tweak boundary lines in small and

final passage, the Senate accepted the
changes adopted by the House.

Wanders With Joy
by Huntley Kennison
Continued From Page 1A
“Me, myself, and I.” The truth of the matter is that a travel partner who often
tags along with me is named Joy. Joy is a happy trooper. She enjoys riding
on her pillow on the front seat as close to me as she can get, and is content so
long as she can see out a window and is not left by herself for too long a time.
She likes to listen to the radio, she listens intently to what I say, does not talk
back, and she snores shamelessly.
Now since Joy is the frequent partner in my wanders and since her name
is part of this column’s title, you, the reader, are entitled to know more about
her. Her full name is Judy’s Bundle of Joy, and she is twelve years old. She
has the dubious distinction of being born on 9-11 of 2000. She is a registered
Shih Tzu, but if you asked her she might respond that her self-designated
registration is head of the household and queen of the neighborhood. Joy is
an inheritance from my wife, who acquired her without my knowledge while
I was dutifully attending church over twelve years ago. After our children
grew up and moved out of the house, my wife and I agreed to have no more
pets. But that’s another story. . . Needless to say, Joy and I have become best
of friends.
Other than Joy, other inspirations for this column are two of my favorite authors, John Steinbech, who wrote Travels with Charley and Leon Hale, whose
columns I first read in the Houston Post and later in the Houston Chronicle.
Steinbech’s adventures with his dog named Charley I read years ago; it is on
my list of re-reads. I always enjoyed Leon Hale’s writings about his adventures
with the “Old Codgers” and his journeys to South Texas to find springtime.
His writings about “regular” people “with a story” also appeal to me. Two of
the “customers” he interviewed and wrote about were good friends of mine,
Wood Fain, who became a successful movie theater entrepreneur and a wellknown East Texas folk humorist speaker, and Dr. J. R. Jackson, a leader in the
Texas junior college movement.
Both Hale and Steinbech are unknowing influences to this column, as it shall
chronicle some of my ventures with Joy, as Steinbech reported with Charley;
and, like Leon Hale, I hope to write about conversations with interesting people
who have made our part of the world a happier and better place. Another
intent is to provide a focus on local and Texas history.
Let me close this first “wander” with a few disclaimers. First, in no way do
I consider myself a writer. Even though I have mentioned the influences of
Leon Hale and John Steinbech, my pen could never remotely compare to
theirs. Second, in writing historical sketches, undoubtedly some events and
people will be omitted. I apologize in advance. Third, mistakes will be made.
I expect the reader to report errors to me so they can be verified and corrected.
Since this new venture has been introduced and disclaimers made, let’s have
fun and WANDER WITH JOY.
Uncle-in-law C.T. ‘Red’ Bollinger was an absolute joy
The last of the “Bollinger Boys” was
buried May 23 in Dallas. C.T. (Corpal
True) “Red” Bollinger, 97, was the next
oldest of the five boys and the middle
child of seven. He was a delight and
brought joy to even the darkest day
with his eternal optimism and happygo-lucky approach to life.
Telephone visits with Red were a talka-thon, and he was the host from his
quarters in the Temecula, Calif. home
of his daughter, Lanelle.
His non-stop stories were peppered
with his hardy, infectious laugh. Red
could tell one story after another, laughing every phrase of the way.
Many of his tales were of his siblings,
among them my late father-in-law, Joel
Clifford ( Jay) Bollinger, and his identical twin, Horace Paschal (H), along with
the other sons Charles Lavern (Cotton)
and Conal Monroe, the oldest. There
were two sisters, Kimmie, who held the
title of oldest child and Ola Mae.
All of these siblings grew up in the
northeast Texas, Red River town of
Powderly in Lamar County, where
that area’s version of a Lone Star State
accent was machine-gun-rapid. Their
speech was so fast that for years when
Jay would talk about his sister Ola Mae,
I thought he was saying “Old Maid” as
in the old-fashioned term for unmarried
woman.
All of the Bollinger boys were athletes,
mostly baseball although Jay was also a
basketball player and made his mark in
life as a coach in that sport at Baytown
Lee High School.
Red was a hard-throwing southpaw
(lefthander to the uninitiated) pitcher
and played amateur, semi-pro and professional minor league baseball well into
the 1930s when, as he put it, “I finally
‘threw my arm away’.”
He also served in the Army Air Corps
in World War II. After that mighty
conflict, Red settled into family life
and work at what became the Chance
Vought Corporation, an airplane
manufacturer in the Dallas-Fort Worth
metroplex area.
After Red lost his wife, Jackie, Lanelle
moved him to Temecula in Southern
California and set him up in selfsustaining quarters in her family home.
Red maintained some independence
until he lost much of his eyesight just
a few years ago.
That didn’t deter Red’s optimism, however. When you were talking (listening)
to Red, his infectious good humor kept
things light and funny through what
could lead to a phone-receiver-dulled
ear in his normal two-hour visit with
someone willing to spend the time. I
did so delightfully many times. His
stories almost always involved sports,
particularly baseball. Red was not a
football fan and he followed basketball
up to a point, but baseball was his true
sports passion.
He could tell some baseball tales and
wasn’t bashful in talking about the
supposedly-outlawed spitball, which
Red said was the ‘go-to’ pitch for most
pitchers. “I can show you a bunch of
ways to throw the spitter,”Red would say
CMYK
proudly (that meant how to hide the illegal ‘doctoring’ of
the baseball). For
non-fans, that
doesn’t mean Red
was an ‘outlaw’
pitcher. It means
that pitchers have
always (and still
By
do) found ways
to throw the spitWillis
ball. It will make a
Webb
baseball do crazy
things and is next
to impossible to hit.
Red also loved football, especially the
Dallas Cowboys. He would spend an
entire day watching old games on the
NFL Network. Although he played
basketball as a youngster, he did not
watch that sport, instead opting for his
favorites baseball and football.
For the last few months, Red was in
an assisted living facility and didn’t
have unlimited access to a phone as he
did while living with his understanding
daughter, Lanelle. So, I didn’t get to
have his two-hour sports and life talk
‘show’ visit every week before he went
to that big ballpark in the sky where,
I’m sure, his first start as a pitcher there
was a perfect game. No hits, no runs, no
errors — just a funny, laughing, staccato
description of every pitch.

newspaper editor-publisher of more
than 50 years experience. He can be

Questions
Gloria Russell
In this “information age”, why do we so often hear the words, “I
don’t know”? Faye, one of my older friends, suggests the answer is
that no one asks questions. She believes people aren’t even interested
in knowing.
Sometimes it’s a cultural thing. In some places it’s impolite to ask
questions. I’ve heard that in the deaf community questions are the
norm. It sure makes sense to ask questions if you want to know
something.
All children ask questions: why this and why that? Who, what,
where and when? Perhaps adults have discouraged this healthy
characteristic of childhood by insisting they stop asking so many
questions. I’m sure we’ve all said, “Please stop asking so many
questions!”
One thing I do know is that the most interesting people are those
who continue to question and to learn. This special group seems
to know something about everything. They are truly interested in
acquiring knowledge and sharing information.
Recently I heard of a student who wasn’t interested in grade point
average, etc. He went to class because he was interested in acquiring
knowledge. He wanted to know and understand what the professor
was teaching. I thought what a rare and precious gift this young
man has received. Can you imagine how his teachers responded?
Perhaps we should not go there!
In the area of spiritual knowledge we are in danger of showing
the same disinterest that we have shown in other areas of our lives.
The greatest truth that a person can possess with the mind or learn
through experience is truth about God. However, you must want to
know Him. When you have acquired a desire to personally know
Jesus Christ you will find He is easy to get to know.
John 20:31 tells us, “But these (things written in the Bible) are
written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of
God, and that believing you may have life in His name.”
See you next week, Gloria

The Preacher
Says...
Gone Insane
I read where the Food Network dropped Paula
Deen due to her using a certain racial slur many
years ago. I remember how Supreme Court Justice
Clarence Thomas was drilled and criticized when
he was going through the process of being selected
for his current position. And then recently a man
came to help in the rescue of three young women
held hostage in Ohio for years. Right off the bat
the news media wanted to know the man’s background. But folks, in my book, he was a hero.
There are many things said in our past and done
in our past that don’t need to be brought up again.
But because we live in an age of political correctness we are not correct according to those buying
into this philosophy.
So it matters not if sin is called sin but don’t call
my sin, sin. It matters not a lie is a lie as long as
someone else is doing the lying.
Even in many churches political correctness is the
norm. God forbid someone would point out my
failings and address them because it isn’t politically
correct to do so.
Well, the Bible isn’t politically correct, according
to some. We were told once that we were not
culturally in tune because we opposed a night club
going in next to our church building. Thankfully,
truth won out for a change.
1 Corinthians 1:23 So when we preach that Christ
was crucified,the Jews are offended and the Gentiles
say it’s all nonsense.

As the July 4 holiday weekend
approaches, officials with the
U.S. Forest Service are reminding the public that fireworks
are prohibited in the National
Forests and Grasslands in Texas.
Even though recent rains have
lessened drought conditions,
fireworks can create a potentially
dangerous fire situation, and
Forest Supervisor Mark Van
Every says law enforcement
personnel will be watchful again
this year.
“It only takes a few days of
summer heat and lack of rainfall
to put our forests and grasslands
at a high fire risk,” Van Every
said. “For the safety of the public
and our forests and grasslands,
we urge people to attend public
fireworks displays and to keep
in mind that fireworks are not
allowed in the Angelina, Sam
Houston, Davy Crockett and
Sabine National Forests, and the
Caddo and Lyndon B. Johnson
National Grasslands.”
The four forests and two
grasslands in Texas cover nearly
700,000 acres of public land and
have many popular recreation
areas for camping, boating,
picnicking, hiking and a variety
of outdoor activities.
“Those possessing or discharging fireworks or other
pyrotechnic devices in the national forests or grasslands can
be ticketed and fined. We don’t
want to spoil anyone’s holiday,
but at the same time, we want
the holiday to be enjoyable and
safe for all forest and grassland
visitors,” Van Every said.

Chester ISD Board approves ‘Update 97’ during June 17 meeting
By Michael G. Maness
The Chester ISD Board met Monday, June 17, opened with a prayer and
pledges to the U.S. and Texas flags.
They approved a request by the Bernice P. Mark Scholarship Committee
to use their cafeteria on July 20 for a fund raiser.
They affirmed regular business items,including a renewal of their two-year
contract with Texas State Bank of Chester. Superintendent Wayne Ivey had
requested a grant from the Texas Association of School Board and received
$4,000 that will be applied to the $5,400 cost of a new security system with
8 cameras, 15 days of storage, and expansion capabilities. Ivey also said they
could ask for the grant every year, which was welcomed and appreciated.
The board considered and approved “Update 97” which addressed several
amendments to the Texas Administrative Code regarding instructional
materials, the Texas Virtual School Network, state assessments, communicable diseases, incorporating a few federal laws, and new Family and
Medical Leave Act rules. Many of these included mundane items from
coding instructional materials and their value as “assets” to refinements in
end-of-course assessments. The Secretary of Agriculture, representatives
from the Food and Nutrition Service, and child welfare caseworkers were
added to the list of people that the district could give information to without
parental consent.
Other Update 97 clarifications included offenses that would disqualify a
person from employment requiring a criminal history. The role of arrest and
conviction records could be challenging, “if state law … requires automatic
exclusion from employment for a particular offense, a district may not refuse
to hire a person who has been convicted of an offense listed in state law or
local policy unless the district has determined that its decision is job-related.”
Termination of an employee’s probationary contract must be hand delivered
now. There is a new option qualifying “exigency leave” for parental care if
necessitated by a military member’s active duty. And a statutory provision
has been added that would let the board choose to cover board members and
paid election workers as employees for purposes of workers’ compensation.
More good news – Texas House Bill 5 passed and was signed by Governor
Perry requiring high school students to pass only five STAAR end-of-course
exams to meet the new graduation requirements, namely Algebra I, English
I and II, biology, and U.S. History. Some of the skills that were formerly
tested separately will be consolidated, as reading and writing will be assessed
within the English I and II tests. Superintendent Ivey was thrilled with the
developments, and the board felt sure the students would be, too.
Superintendent Ivey gave an overview of attendance, boasting on good
percentages, and then outlined many other academic and maintenance
activities that would be transpiring throughout the summer. Chester ISD
was in good shape and proud of its students and teachers.
City of Woodville asks for
help to keep city beautiful
The City of Woodville would like to ask residents and business
owners to assist us in keeping our city beautiful by continuing to
control litter. We would also ask property owners and residents to
show pride in our community and respect your neighbors by keeping
your property mowed and maintained, removing unwanted clutter
and debris from your property and removing trash carts from the
curb after weekly pickup. These measures will help reduce pests such
as mosquitoes, rodents and snakes and help to ensure that everyone
has a safe and wonderful summer.

supporters of the 2013 Scholarship Tournament

By: Jason Drake
By: Chance Bailey
The Woodville Eagles are hoping to return to the playoffs again
in 2013. Last year, Woodville
finished 4-6 on the season and
3-4 in district for fifth place. The
10-2ADI poll has the Eagles
on the outside looking in. The
Eagles are predicted to finish fifth
this year. The UIL announced
this season that four teams will
make the playoffs this year. This
means that the Eagles will have
to pass one of the teams predicted
ahead of them to get in. The poll
indicates the Newton Eagles
are favored to win the district
championship with the Buccaneers of East Chambers as the
runner-up. Newton is predicted
as the number one team in the
state this year. Kirbyville and

and NBA stars such as Tracy
McGrady, Amar’e Stoudemire,
Brandon Rush, and many others.
Cowart hopes to join that list
one day. Although Colmesneil’s
basketball team did not have a
successful season, Cowart was
one of the lone bright spots, earning the Defensive Most Valuable
Player award in the district and
being selected to the SETX allstar team.
third and fourth for the final
two playoff spots. The Anahuac
Panthers were selected sixth
behind Woodville, with Hardin

skill players in 2013. The Eagles
are returning five offensive and
five defensive starters from 2012.

Fourth in series...
The Booster is covering each of the five School Districts in Tyler County,
through the eyes of their superintendent during the coming weeks. Enjoy!
Woodville ISD 2012-2013 School Report
By: Jessi Sanders
Mr. Conner, Superintendent
of Woodville ISD reported
on the 2012-2013 school year,
discussing topics such as transformational goals, technology
applications, athletic and other
extra-curricular successes, and
the challenges the District met
this year.
Mr. Conner discussed the five
transformation goals approved
by the school board this year,
which were to create a new
digital learning environment,
provide learning standards that
match the needs of the individual
learner, create continuous and
informative assessment guidelines, maintain accountability
for learning, and support staff
and students to be productive
members of the 21st Century.
One of the key points Mr. Conner highlighted in detail is that
the District feels students have
been trained to be “a group of
responders, not a group of thinkers,” and it is now the District’s
responsibility to make kids think
in the classroom by engaging
them with a variety of strategies.
Mr. Conner stated that although
state testing standards are important, the District wants to satisfy
the standards of the community
by keeping the focus of learning
not on the test students take once
a year, but on the daily learning
by checking for understanding
and covering topics in a different
way.
In regards to technology in the
classroom, Mr. Conner pointed
out that “students today have the
ability to have an answer quicker
than they ever have before,” going on to say that “we have been
in the 21st Century for thirteen
years now, and we need to embrace that.” As a result of this
thinking, the District loosened
their electronic device policy in
grades 6-12. Because of its size,
the District has difficulty putting a device in every student’s
hands via 1:1 implementation,
so this is one way to let students
use the technology they already
have. Students sign acceptable
use policies which are up to
date with the Child Internet
Protection Act (CIPA), and the
internet is filtered through the
District’s network. In the second
semester, the Board approved an
iPad initiative which gave every
teacher in the District a three step
device training program and an
iPad. The goal of this initiative is
to get teachers comfortable with
technology so that they can help
their students use it effectively in
the classroom, and to “design lessons around technology instead
of just applying technology to
existing lessons.”
In terms of extra-curricular
activities, the District had a very
successful year. Many students
advanced through Regionals in
academic U.I.L. competitions,
the Choir qualified for Regionals, two students were selected
for State Middle School Choir,
the One-Act Play advanced to
Regionals, and an art student
received Best of Show in the
‘...it is now the
District’s
responsibility to
make kids think in
the classroom by
engaging them
with a variety
of strategies.’

Houston Livestock Show and
Rodeo. The volleyball, basketball, baseball, and softball teams
advanced to playoffs, several
students qualified for State in
track, and a number of students
received All-District awards.
The District met several challenges at the beginning of the
school year, including the replacement of eleven people who
retired at the end of the 20112012 school year.The school year
began with new principals on
every campus. Mr. Conner said
that the shift was drastic, but
that the new administrators did
a good job, and that the staff on
each campus got behind them
and supported them. Mr. Conner
also stated that the parent support has increased this year, with
a good parent group supporting
teachers and students, and discussing their expectations of the
District. He expressed that the
District wants the community
to know that they are trying to
make their children thinkers, not
responders, by equipping them
for success in the classroom and
after they leave, be it going to a
four year University, a technical
school, or straight out into the
workforce.
