Serving The People Of Tyler County For 85 Years TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION BETTER NEWSPAPER CONTEST AWARD WINNER 2012 WWW.TYLERCOUNTYBOOSTER.COM Thursday, July 5, 2012—Vol. 85, No. 27 Woodville ISD Board votes to buy new bus Have A Safe July Fourth Holiday! In the regular scheduled meeting of the Woodville ISD School Board, held Monday, June 18, a public hearing was held to review and take comments on the Woodville ISD Acceptable Use and Internet Safety Policy for Technology. According to Superintendent, Glenn Conner, the Board must hold the hearing to comply with state funding regulations. Board President, Trey Allison asked for public comment and having no members of the general public present there was no comment. The Board then voted to approve the policy for the upcoming year. Conner told the board members the policy would affect the students, teachers and the at- will employees in the district having access to the internet. This adopted policy will be sent home with students when they return for the new school year for their signature as well as their parent or guardian. Also on the agenda for action from the Board was the purchase of a new 77 passenger bus. Conner informed the board members of an accident involving one of the districts fleet buses at the end of this past school year. This accident resulted in the bus being a total loss. According to Cody Jarrott, from the business office, the school will be paid $10,500 from the insurance company. The cost of a new bus is over $90,000. Conner told the board the need for the replacement was necessary. “As we get further into the school year, being without this bus will cause us issues; especially on a Friday evenings when we have buses out on routes and we need four buses to get to a ballgame,” he explained. After some discussion among the board, it was voted to purchase the new bus. The money for the purchase will come from the funds balance. “This is why you have a funds balance – for emergencies,” said Conner. During the meeting, Assistant Superintendent Sherry Kenner gave a report to the board on the Annual Evaluation of English as a Second Language. “This report shows we are doing a good job on our campuses teaching these students English as a second language,” she said. When asked by Allison if she was pleased with the results of the report, Kenner answered, “I am. This report follows the progress of these students for two years. I am pleased.” Board member Jimmy Tucker asked Kenner if the district was prepared if there was an influx of students who might need to utilize this program in light of the prospect of new businesses coming to Tyler County. Kenner assured the board members the district was prepared. While addressing the board, Kenner also gave a Character Counts Report. She explained to the board members Woodville ISD has adopted six pillars of Character Counts as the framework for character education. The six pillars are: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. She explained these character traits are reflected in all aspects of the school districts activities including classroom instruction, discipline, guidance, and extra-curricular activities. They are also reflected in activities of administration, food service, maintenance and transportation. She reported that each campus sponsored This July 4th display on is just one of many around Woodville to celebrate the holiday. Colmesneil City Council approves drug testing contract Cont.

Entergy Servicemen on the scene reported that a green tree fell through the line, and the hot wire laying on the ground started the fire. This is the second fire this summer that began as a result of fallen power lines. Mayor Don Baird called the Colmesneil City Council to order, Tuesday, June 12 at 7 p.m. Council members in attendance making up the necessary quorum were Councilwoman Rhonda Harris, Councilman Duane Crews and Councilman Bubba Sheffield. The Mayor presented a proposal for action to the Councilmembers for a contract with the Tyler County Hospital for alcohol and drug testing services for City employees. According to Baird, the City currently does not have alcohol or drug testing. Councilman Sheffield asked what type of policy the city has in place. City Secretary, Carrie Edwards, advised Council that the city employee policy manual mandates a drug free workplace. After the discussion, Council voted unanimously to accept the contract for the alcohol and drug testing. The new testing would test the city employees at least once a year. Baird then brought before Council issues of repairs to the Colmesneil Fire Department Buildings. “A couple years ago, one of the VFD’s backed a fire truck into one of the fire department structures. The City presented the fire department with a bill for the repairs; however, they have never submitted payment. Since then, the City has had the repairs made to the building. Now, we have no choice but to bill the fire district for the charges incurred for the repairs. I don’t want to see the district have to pay for these charges; I want the VFD to pay for the damage they caused,” said Baird. Still on the topic of the Colmesneil VFD, Baird showed Council photos of the inside condition of the fire station. The photos indicated housekeeping issues. “I have talked Cont.

Gov. Rick Perry said the majority opinion penned by Capitol Highlights Chief Justice John Roberts wo u l d b e “a By stomach punch Ed to the American Sterling economy.” Attorney General Greg Abbott said the case, in which Texas was one of 26 states that petitioned to have the law declared unconstitutional, said it was not about health care, “it was about the rule of law and a fight against a federal government that continues to expand.” State Comptroller Susan Combs said the law “will place an enormous burden on Texas taxpayers and place a huge constraint on our budget.” Sen. Jane Nelson, R-Grapevine, chair of the state Senate Health and Human Services Committee, said, “The health care system is nowhere near ready for the massive influx of patients who will be forced to buy coverage, especially given our existing health care workforce shortages.” However, Gilberto Hinojosa of Brownsville, newly elected chairman of the Texas Democratic Party, said, “Today’s decision on The Affordable Health Care Act by the Supreme Court is a vindication of President Barack Obama and a slam in the faces of Republicans who offer no alternative to this country’s broken health care system. A choice between bankruptcy or death is no choice at all.” Hinojosa said that since its passage, the health care law “has improved the lives of Texans of all ages and walks of life” and gave as examples young adults gaining coverage through their parents’ plan, coverage for preexisting conditions, savings on prescription drugs and preventive services with no co-pays. Republican leaders in Congress said they would call votes this month to repeal the act in its entirety. Initial reactions aside, how states and individuals adjust to the court decision will come to light as more parts of the act are scheduled to take effect periodically over the next eight years. To wit, the federal government is to pay 100 percent of the costs for those who are newly eligible for Medicaid for 2014 through 2016. And, in 2017, the federal government’s share of Medicaid payments to states will begin to decrease but will not fall to less than 90 percent. Briefly, here is what the court ruled: 1. The act’s “individual mandate” requiring most Americans to purchase health insurance exceeds Congress’s authority to regulate commerce and thus is unconstitutional. 2. The act’s “shared responsibility payment” or penalty on individuals who do not purchase health insurance is a tax that does not violate the Constitution. The penalty is to be assessed and collected by the Internal Revenue Service. 3. The federal government may not withdraw existing Medicaid funding from states for failure to comply with the requirements set out in the act’s Medicaid expansion. Medicaid is the program for pregnant women, children, needy families, the blind, the elderly and the disabled, in obtaining medical care. DPS to increase patrols The Texas Department of Public Safety last week announced DWI patrols for a nine-day period from June 30 to July 8 would be increased. “The goal of our enforcement effort is to save lives and make travelling in Still Some Buildings In Need Of ‘Adoption’ At The Village I’ll have to give you a report on the Fourth of July picnic next week.

Until next week’s report on the picnic, I want to be sure to thank those of you who volunteered to adopt one of the buildings at Heritage Village to clean and decorate it for the Christmas holidays. The Pawn Shop has been adopted by the Willis family ( Jim, Annabeth and June); our Seamstress Shop by Gloria Newsome; Beth Black has adopted the Doctor’s Office; the Turkey Creek Inn has been claimed by Dewayne and Mary Ling; the Vidette has been adopted by Amie Hendershot; Elizabeth Toliver and Rebecca Duckworth have claimed the Collier Store; the Barber Shop has been adopted by Russ and Glenda Nalley. The Stewart School House will continue under the adoption of the Stewart family and the Cherokee Church has been claimed by members of the Order of the Confederate Rose and the Sons of the Confederate Veterans. Charles and Wanda Smith have adopted the Tolar Cabin and the Buggy Barn has been claimed by Durwood and Estelle Ling. You might think that we have “adopted out” all the buildings but visitors to Heritage Village will know that we have a few others that are in need of adoption. This project might be a good school service project or an activity that an entire family could enjoy and at the same time be helping others. Look over the following list and find one that appeals to you and then give us a call at 283-2272 to speak for your choice. Still remaining for adoption are the stable, the jail, the Post Office, the Justice of the Peace’s office, the Tool Room and the railroad depot. We also have a factory section that includes lots of equipment to make and repair chairs and many engines of different types. I am sure that some of you will find a building just for you! Give us a call. And thank you in advance for offering to help. Last week Francine Frasier was out at the Village teaching a genealogy lesson to help African-American residents of the Dies Community, close to Doucette, research their roots. The morning included three guest speakers: Sandi Hargrove, Carol Shields (genealogy librarian for the Whitmeyer Genealogy Library at the Village) and Rev. Steven Barlow. Participants were taught ways to find their ancestors when there might be few recorded records. Following lunch at the Pickett House, the group visited the Tyler County Courthouse and other area courthouses looking for old deed records that would aid them in their search. On Saturday, Ms. Frasier taught young people about the importance of researching their family tree. They attended the dedication of a historical plaque honoring the Pine Grove Church and School. The school was for African-American students through the 9th grade.

Dog Trot Houses A young man called , asking if I knew what a “dog trot house” was. He had heard the phrase from one of his grandparents and had conjured up visions of dogs trotting through a house day and night. He wasn’t far from the mark. Dog trot houses were built and occupied by East Texas’ earliest settlers. Many of them migrated here in the early l800s from the Old South and brought southern customs, including the way buildings were constructed.with them. A dog trot house (also called a dog run house) was simple in construction. Made either of logs or rough-sawn lumber, it consisted of two separate living areas under one roof, but separated by a wide gallery that divided the two family areas. One of the living areas consisted of sleeping accommodations; the other was where the family cooked, ate and entertained visitors. There were no bathrooms or toilets in the building. Outhouses, well separated from the house, met the family’s hygiene needs. Large washtubs, filled with water from wells or springs, were used for baths. The family’s dogs slept on the gallery and instead of running around the house, they trotted from front to back by using the gallery. The dot trot also served as a porch of sorts, but most houses had a separate porch on the front of the house. Few of the old-time dog trot homes are left in East Texas. Ben Anderson of Angelina County called our attention to a well-preserved dog trot house near Ratcliff in Houston County. It was a beauty to behold, framed by crepe myrtles and cedar trees. It was built by a pioneer family in the Mount Vernon community, where Henry Warren Payne and W.M. Conner gave land for a church and a cemetery. In 1871 a church house used as a school was erected. The custom of fencing cemetery plots began in 1872 with the burial in the first marked grave of the son of James E. and Ann Payne Ashby. After a fire, Payne rode door-to-door raising money for a new church house built in 1884. The Mt. Vernon Baptist Church was officially organized in 1888. Land from the Louisiana and Texas Lumber Co. enlarged the cemetery and in 1960 the church’s present building was erected. In our family, my great-great grandfather, Joel Harrison Bowman, built a dog trot house near Sardis in Cherokee County, but the building rotted away after he died in 1936. Doris’ grandparents, the Robert L. Davis family, also lived in a dog trot house on Virgil Street in Lufkin, but it, too, vanished as progress overtook Lufkin. Other dog trot houses, fortunately, still stand elsewhere throughout East Texas, A two-story log structure, was built by ferry owner James Gaines on the west bank of the Sabine River in the 1830s. When Toledo Bend Reservoir was built, the old house was moved, and remains an important landmark in Sabine County. Another dog trot, built before 1842, is known as the Trammel Trace Cabin and is a recorded Texas historic landmark at Marshall, where it was moved in 1938 by the Hobart Key family. Dog trot houses are a unique part of our East Texas heritage, and hopefully other buildings of the same style are alive and well in the pineywoods. (Bob Bowman of Lufkin is the author of more than 50 books about East Texas history and folklore.

Growing up in a small Texas town in the 1940s and 1950s, almost anything you did was dictated by a couple of church groups. Dancing was near the top of the “don’t do” list. As a junior high student,dancing wasn’t on my or almost any other boy’s program. We might think about getting close to some girl we thought was pretty or cute but actually holding one close, particularly as long as a three-minute dance,was just,well,icky.“Real men” didn’t do that. Did they? Then came high school.The cool years.Boys learned to say“she’s purty,”“swell”and“sweet.” An enterprising music teacher in town decided that if we were going to be socially functional at a junior-senior prom, then ol’ hairy-legged boys needed to learn how to dance to something more sophisticated than Ernest Tubb. So, Music Teacher began off-campus classes for juniors and seniors. Our “cool” junior group huddled and decided this was really “hip” and we wanted to learn something beside that awkward hillbilly “step-two-three.” Some preachers decided dancing was an abomination. The preachers told teen members of their churches that it was evil and young folks shouldn’t be allowed to give in to Satan’s temptations that would surely be roused by “dancing.” I went to my preacher at our little missionary Baptist church and asked, “What’s wrong with dancin’, Preacher?” “If you’re just enjoying the music and dancing and your mind is clear of sinful things,” he wisely proclaimed,“then nothing is wrong with dancing.” Music Teacher was smart. She knew most teens wanted to dance and “be close to one another.”But,she also knew we needed other reasons to want to dance, so she made it a full course with several dance steps in the shuffling curriculum. We learned the obligatory two-step (“reglar dancin’”) and the waltz.Then,MusicTeacher threw in what she called The Frisco. It was jitterbugging, complete with twirls, twists and even some acrobatic moves that looked like a gym class in action. After a couple of sessions of jitterbugging, I was hooked. Two high school classmates, Judi and Martha Lou, were good dancers and had tried to teach me with only a modicum of success. Martha Lou even took the dance classes with us, so she’d be sure we were all on the same-step page. We finished the classes just in time for the junior-senior prom.As junior prom hosts to the seniors,we got really fancy and adopted a prom theme of “Moulin Rouge — A Night in Paris,” which set off a couple of churches, convinced it was going to be the biggest MEMBER 2012 TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION CMYK night of sin in town history. It was a wonderful evening and Music Teacher was proud of her students,who led the way to jitterbugging to this new music craze, rock-n-roll. Of course, what do you do with all that dancing knowledge after the junior-senior prom.There were no places to dance in my hometown, or at least not for crowds of teens. So, some enterprising youngsters found that we were welcome in the beer joints/night clubs of a neighboring “wet” county as long as we didn’t try to imbibe. That was okay with Judi, Martha Lou and me because we just wanted a place to dance. For several years, extending well into college, anytime Judi, Martha Lou and I were home, I got to take whoever didn’t have a serious date jitterbugging. We became proficient dancers and had a blast, so much so that the older folks at the clubs gave way to us and pitched coins on the dance floor while we jitterbugged. We often went home with more money than we took. Dancing/jitterbugging was more fun than anything. I have recently tested my hip replacement and know I can maneuver well enough to jitterbug, albeit a little slower than in the olden days. While, Judi is, sadly, no longer with us, I think I’ll see if Martha Lou is game for a little jitterbugging at the next class reunion.

By Willis Webb Page 4A TYLER COUNTY BOOSTER July 5, 2012 Religion Journey Into Fullness by Gloria Russell God Bless America! There’s nothing like a quick trip to Africa to remind you of the tremendous blessing of living in the USA. “God bless America!” should be our constant prayer. Hebrews tells us we must believe that God is! Precious believer, Almighty God is everything He says He is in His Word, the Holy Bible. He is our great creator. Yes, He has set nations in place with their times and purposes to be played out according to His will. He can even deal with interference from men. You can trust Him today! The next part of the Hebrews verse says we must believe that He compensates those who carefully and steadily look for Him. This includes individuals as well as nations. Today you are being rewarded according to the degree of your seeking the things of God. America is being rewarded according to the degree our nation recognizes God and His sovereign rule over our affairs. Africa and all other nations are being rewarded accordingly. Now for some surprising news. The last page has not been written. God’s line-up of sheep and goat nations has not been chosen yet. His Word tells us that on that last great day there will be those in the Kingdom from every tongue, tribe and nation. He is on a quest for a people who will love Him and no other god. At this very moment our Heavenly Father is shaking things up. His ambassadors are literally covering the earth with the good news, “Jesus saves!” On every flight from Houston,Texas to London, England to Johannesburg, Africa to Bulawayo, Zimbabwe our team of missionaries met other teams traveling to various nations with their assignment for the Kingdom of God. While we were in our assigned location we met college students from Tennessee, Boston and Galveston; adults from Wales, Ireland and England and a couple from Britain moving from Zimbabwe after twenty-five years to a new assignment in Arkansas. One of the pastors in Bulawayo is from California. What does this have to do with you? Most of us have been placed in East Texas for this time in God’s Kingdom purposes. What exactly is your assignment? One is to join with the body of Christ from all denominations and organizations to seek our Heavenly Father now on behalf of our beloved America. “God bless the U.S.A.” See you next week, Gloria Visit us online at www.tylercountybooster.com 127 Year Old Harmony Baptist Church to Hold Annual Homecoming Harmony Baptist Church, established in 1885, will hold their annual Homecoming Sunday, July 8, at 11 a.m. Come early and catch up with old friends.

It won’t be workbooks and story time. It’s all about kid participation. We will have an Explore the Bible session, a time to learn verses to carry in their hearts forever, looking into missions work that people sometimes commit their lives to, while others do missions right where they are, and the possibilities that one can find ways to invent new missions activities.

Church Events This Week Summer Backpack Program Runs Every Thursday Hollywood Versus Reality I am always amazed when someone quotes some famous actor as an authority on a particular subject. I’ve heard General George Patton quoted from the movie that was made about him many years ago. And then there was the famous Alamo movie that John Wayne produced and people made references to things in that movie as if they were fact. Recently, the Hatfields and McCoys movie with Kevin Costner was viewed by millions of people. Kevin Costner may be a great actor and he claims they did a lot of research on the history of the famous feud. Since I am from West Virginia and since we ministered there for six years (not far from the area where those families fought), I was curious as to the truthfulness of the movie series. There was a scene that was depicted in the movie that the Hatfields and McCoys were supposedly attending the same church of which I am a member. However, with the best research that I have available, I cannot find any documentation of that being true. My point is: just because Hollywood says so, doesn’t make it so. Just because you watch a movie doesn’t mean that movie is accurate. Hollywood is interested in making money from your money. That’s always been the case. So, why would you believe a movie as fact? Sometimes someone will quote a newsmedia person as an authority on a given subject. The national news media puts a spin on everything, so why would you believe their research? ABC television produced a documentary on Jesus’ resurrection many years ago. Never once was a believer interviewed. Only skeptics were quoted. Is that fair and balanced reporting? In reality Hollywood is make-believe. It’s an entertainment business. So, what are we to believe? I choose to believe God and His Word. How about you? All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16, 17). Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Meets Sundays FBC Doucette 95th Anniv. July 15 In 1917, in the Old Union Church in Doucette, the First Baptist Church of Doucette was formed.

Both reports, the English as a Second Language and the Character Counts are required of the school district as part of the No Child Left Behind Program. The Superintendent reported to the Board the results of the recent state tests. According to Conner the results are in but the jury is still out. Texas Education Agency Officials released STAAR or State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness results, but because no standards have been created for what is a passing or failing grade, school districts don’t know whether to sigh with relief or frustration. The STAAR replaces the TAKS tests. When fully implemented in 2016, students in the third and fifth grade who do not pass their STAAR tests will be unable to go to the next grade. For the next school year, teachers will hopefully know a little more about how to prepare students. The state promised that the STAAR would be a more rigorous test that the TAKS and all the district can do is to focus on the classroom and make sure students are learning what is required. Conner also gave an update on the facilities repairs and construction. He informed the board that the batting cage should have the slab poured sometime in the upcoming week; construction had been delayed due to the rain. He also gave a report on the importance of student attendance; showing board members the final numbers for the 2011-12 school year. “We are working on some ways to get those students in the classrooms. When those students aren’t at school, they are losing valuable instruction time,” said Conner. The Woodville School Board meets regularly on the third Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the administration building.

What do you think about the Wild and Scenic River Proposal? Mike Carbaugh a graduate of Woodville High school, says, “today will go down in the History Books as one of the lowest points for our Government and Judicial system ever!!!! I cannot believe that so many people have their heads in the sand. If we continue at the rate we’re going, we would be better off living in a Russia third world country!!! This is the worst piece of legislation ever in the History of our Great Nation!!! “I believe that every single person deserves some sort of health care, even if it’s just a little. And, I am thankful that children and adults with pre-existing conditions can no longer be denied health insurance. This system works for other countries, and I think it will work for us,” says Dana Klein of Fred, Texas. Matthew Hooks of Spurger says, “you people should seriously consider how and what you are voting for in November!” CMYK Linda Mack, of Colmesneil is neither strongly for or against the Act, but says we “should read 2 Chronicles 7:14 in God’s Holy Bible. That just about sums up the whole situation.” Page 6A TYLER COUNTY BOOSTER July 5, 2012 Official Records Jail Bookings From June 18 through June 25, 2012 •Clarence James Crawford, 19, Kountze, theft property more than $50 less than $500; criminal mischief more than $50 less than $500; failure to appear •Dana Lynn Lavergne Digby, 39, Colmesneil, public intoxication; disorderly conduct •Vicki Fernandez, 51, Spurger, warrant •Ruben Fonseca, 18, Garland, traffic offense Class C •Tory Donelle Foster, 30, Woodville, assault bodily injury family/house member 2+ with intent, 12 months •Damon Michael Jordan, 24, Spurger, driving with invalid license; open container; no insurance •Camille Anthony Kenney, Jr., 42, Woodville, possession controlled substance more than 1G less than 4G, motion to revoke probation •Trabyan Dwayne Mack, 28, Woodville, possession marijuana less than 2 oz. motion to revoke probation •Robert Lee McNeal, Sr., 47, Woodville, public intoxication •Broderic Reshawd Mitchell, 24, Woodville, possession marijuana more than 4 oz. less than 5 lbs., failure to appear; abandon endanger child criminal negligence •Charles Edward Nix, 50, Woodville, driving while intoxicated 2nd •Amy Lynn Nugent, 28, Orange, driving while intoxicated 2nd; possession dangerous drug; possession drug paraphernalia; driving while license suspended •Daniel Leland Pate, 27, Silsbee, warrants; warrants •Richard Alan Perry II, 34, Woodville, warrants; warrants •Paul Frederick Price, Jr., 22, Woodville, aggravated assault causes serious bodily injury •Voneric Cornelius Thompson, 43, Woodville, assault causes bodily injury family violence; driving with license invalid •Rebecca Williams, 29, Spurger, aggravated assault causes bodily injury GRAND OPENING At Visit us online at www.tylercountybooster.com D&D Hardware In Warren Wednesday, July 4 8am-6pm Everyone is Welcome From June 25 through July 2, 2012 •Kristen Balismo, 24, Port Auther, possession drug paraphernalia. •Amy Lynn Anderson, 29, Colmesneil, no proof of liability insurance, expired vehicle registration, failure to appear, expired inspection sticker, written promise to appear, possession drug paraphernalia. •Carollynn Bowen, 25, Colmesneil, possession drug paraphernalia, theft of property less than $50. •Jerry Lee Buckleiter, 41, Woodville, driving while intoxicated. •Cassandra Byerly, 18, Woodville, manufactured delivery of a controlled substance. •David Brandon Collins, 26, Woodville, expired tags. •Seth Thomas Crawford, 25, Colmesneil, assault causes bodily injury. •Jessica Leigh Deglandon, 23, Colmesneil, no operators license, expired inspection sticker. •Josey Wells Divins, 23, Woodville, unlawful use of criminal instrument. •Sheila Anetter Evans, 28, Colmesneil, injury to child/elderly/disabled with intent of bodily injury. •Keith Wesley Fowler, 21, Woodville, theft grater than $20, less than $500. •Elie John Fruge III, 43, Colmesneil, disorderly conduct. •Elie John Fruge Jr., 64, Colmesneil, disorderly conduct. •Arthur Gernon, 18, Colmesneil, no drivers license, possession drug paraphernalia. •Loretta Kirk, 53, Woodville, manufactured delivery of a controlled substance. •Cody Moucheron, 21, Woodville, possession drug paraphernalia. •Devon Ray Moucheron, 19, Spurger, possession drug paraphernalia. •Travis Wayne Riddick, 28, Fred, no drivers license. •Dagan Rutz, 34, Groves, assault causes bodily injury family violence. •Floyd M.

CMYK Page 3B Sports TYLER COUNTY BOOSTER Chester • Colmesneil • Spurger • Warren • Woodville July 5, 2012 Visit us online at www.tylercountybooster.com Bulldogs position series: Offensive line By: Chance Bailey The offensive line is easily the most overlooked and unappreciated group in football.These guys get very little spotlight, when in reality, they’re probably the hardest working guys on an entire football team with the tough assignments they are asked to do in the trenches. Last season for the Bulldogs, these guys had a great season even with the many quarterback changes that they faced. The starting lineup for the Bulldogs isn’t expected to change much, with junior left tackle Garrett Wheat returning off of his first season, which resulted in him earning First Team All-District honors. Senior Colton Ackley will also be back, making this his third straight season as the Bulldogs starting center. The Bulldogs will also have two more senior offensive linemen returning in Haiden Hughes and D.J. W hitley. Something new that head coach Fancy Johnson has been stressing this offseason is firing off the ball. Coach Johnson believes that being quicker off of the ball will give his team an advantage in getting that extra second for the quarterback to throw the football or giving his backs that split second to find an open hole. Even though the offensive line isn’t a flashy group of players, they are without a doubt the key to the Bulldogs success in the 2012 season. Email: [email protected] Ben Zumwalt photo Colmesneil Bulldogs 2011-2012 offensive line. Former Chester football star turning heads in Eagles OTA’s By: Chance Bailey Last April, tight end Chase Ford was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent. He was thought to be brought in as just a camp body, but according to reports from the Eagles, he’s impressing the coaches in OTA’s (Organized Team Activities) and has a real shot to make the roster as the team’s third tight end. He’s got phenomenal size for a tight end at 6’6, 260 pounds, and runs good routes and has great hands for a tight end. Eagles coaches and scouts say he reminds them of New Orleans Saints tight end, and former Miami Hurricane Jimmy Graham with his ability to go up and get the ball over defenders. If Ford does make the roster, expect him to be mainly a player used in the red zone and on special teams. Spurger summer league By: Emily Waldrep The Spurger Lady Pirates are already gearing up and getting ready for the fall basketball season by participating in summer league, a basketball program that schedules games and scrimmage throughout the summer so that the off-season players can stay practicing and stay in shape. Six girls participate in the summer league program and are enjoying the benefits that they are receiving from it. The girls claimed a great victory last week when they played in a summer league tournament in Woodville. “We only had six girls to rotate in and out, and the other team had about twenty, but we still beat them. It’s a great way to make us feel great and start the official season on a good note,” said Loni McLeod, a summer league player. She also says that Spurger will be a team to watch next year and hope that they will make it into the playoffs. “We have a good defense, and everyone is doing really great” says McLeod. Fans and coaches also notice the girls’ success, and the new head athletic director at Spurger has high hopes for the girls. “We won’t make it just a few rounds into playoffs, we will go all the way, especially with the athletes we have this year,” says Coach Mitchell. Summer league games and open gym practices will continue throughout the summer so that all of the Spurger athletic teams will be ready for whatever next season brings.
