KISD uses homestead
funds while state leaves
legal question in limbo
By CHELSEA KATZ
[email protected]
When it comes to homestead exemptions
in Kilgore ISD, the situation – as the state
sees it – has not changed.
The KISD Board of Trustees voted on
June 29, 2015, to rescind the optional
homestead exemption (which was set at 20
percent) ahead of a deadline that threatened
to lock school districts into their rate for at
least five years, eliminating local control.
After a lengthy discussion during the special meeting last year, the board voted 5-2
to rescind the exemption. The trustees described it as a way of maintaining local control over the optional exemption granted for
years. The exemption was in addition to the
mandatory $15,000 homestead exemption
the state granted residents.
A positive side effect of the vote was an increase in funding to the district to the tune
of $660,000.
“The discussion when they made that
decision at first was thinking that they
would come back and that they would get

KHS band begins new year weeks before school
By CHELSEA KATZ
[email protected]
Freshmen make up a little
more than 30 percent of this
year’s Kilgore High School
marching band, but that’s not
a point of concern to Cliffton
Walker.
The band director actually
finds it exciting that this year’s
band has one of the largest
freshmen classes he has seen –
48 students – because it means
the program is growing.
“That means increasing
numbers and a lot of young,
fresh faces, which means our
coming years are looking really, really strong,” he said.
The first weeks of practice
are fast paced with more aspects being added with each
one from footwork to memorization. He did not consider
the learning curve for the 48
freshmen a huge challenge.
“This group of freshmen
are very, very sharp, let’s just
say that. They have caught
on very, very quickly,” Walker
said. “It’s a very bright group,
a really talented group of
freshmen, and honestly the
gap is not that large between
them and the upper classmen.
They’ve been working really
well together.”
Drum major Rachael Lindsey agreed and commended
the freshmen for their work
during practice.
“It’s kind of crazy trying to
get order of things,” she said,
noting the band’s size, “but
these are some pretty smart
freshmen. They’re getting it
down pretty good. There’s only a couple that need extra help
but other than that they’re really good. I’m so proud of the
freshmen this year… I was so
scared because I thought it
would be difficult, but it’s not
that hard because I still have
the section leaders to help me
out. I’m not in this alone, and
the section leaders are doing
what they’re supposed to and

stepping up.”
Although school does not
start until Aug. 22, the members of the KHS band have
been out in the East Texas
heat for weeks now practicing both their music and their
precision marching – the first
week is dedicated to teaching
marching fundamentals. The
band’s routines draw heavily on the military band style
Texans might most associate
with the Texas A&M band.
This year, though, the heat
and humidity have been more
of a factor than previous years
meaning they have adjusted to
shorter practices outside and
more water breaks, Walker
said.
One of the most difficult
things to get used to when
Lindsey went through training to be a drum major was

spending the entire day –
four hours in the morning
and then another two in the
afternoon – in the sun, but
she got used to it and learned
how to take care of her body
in the summer heat. Now she
is making sure the KHS band
members do the same by staying hydrated.
In addition to the directors,
the section leaders and Lindsey serve in their leadership
positions to make sure everyone stays on track for the day’s
practice.
As the only drum major
this year, Lindsey is by herself,
instead of last year when two
seniors shared the role. Although she has become more
comfortable with the position
through practice and a Stephen F. Austin State University drum major camp, she said,
it is stressful because she is the
only one out in front of the
band. It helps, she said, when
she reminds herself that any
mistake would be noticeable,
no matter if she is holding a
baton or her French horn.
She enjoys the responsibility, though, which puts her in
the second-in-command spot
behind the directors. Band
members go to their section
leaders for help. Those sections leaders then go to Lindsey and then on to the direc-
tors if Lindsey cannot help in
the situation.
After beginning practices in
late July, Walker said, this week
presents a new challenge with
other extracurricular activities
beginning their practices.
“They’ve been working really, really hard, and it’s just one
of those things that all those
extracurricular groups have to
work through. We want our
kids to be able to participate
in what they want to, and
that’s what ultimately is helping them and helping them
grow and mature as people…

All SISD board seats draw interest
By JAMES DRAPER
[email protected]
A fifth person joined Sabine ISD’s
school board race Monday – all four
trustee seats up this election cycle now
have at least one office-seeker.
According to his candidate application, filed Aug. 8 and accepted by
SISD’s administrative personnel the
same day, Danny King is seeking Place
1 on the dais.
With the election set Nov. 8, the fouryear terms in rotation this season include
seats 1, 2, 6 and 7. The posts are currently
held, respectively, by incumbents John
Kenna, Martha Wright, Tony Raymond
and Andrea Bates.
King, who lists his occupation as pipeline compliance for Eastman Chemical
Company, is the first to sign-up for the
Place 1 seat. The filing deadline for a spot
on the ballot is 5 p.m. Monday, Aug. 22.
Elsewhere on the ticket, two of the four
incumbents – Raymond (the board’s vice
president) and Bates (board secretary) –
have filed for re-election to their respective seats. Two individuals are seeking the
Place 2 post: local dentist and longtime
Liberty City Chamber of Commerce advocate Dr. Arthur C. Morchat currently

It’s a good problem to have.
It’s a mixed blessing because it
means our kids are participating, our kids are active.”
As a reminder of what the
band needs to accomplish,
though, the directors repeat
the date Aug. 26: the first
Kilgore Bulldog football game.
Throughout the practices,
though, Walker’s favorite
thing to watch is the growth
in the students’ camaraderie,
he said, noting they enjoy being around each other.
“If you don’t have that, you
just don’t have a successful or-
ganization,” he said. “It does
make our end a lot easier if
the kids are happy to work
together and they’re friendly
with each other.”
If any drama comes up
throughout the year, Lindsey said, she knows how to
deal with that thanks to the
training she received at the
weeklong camp at SFA. Theoretically, this will allow section
leaders to focus on helping
students in their section and
will take some of the burden
off the directors.
As marching season – and
football season – approaches,
Walker said, he is most looking forward to Bulldog fans
hearing the band’s closing fanfare, which he explained is different from what most other
East Texas bands perform.
For Lindsey, though, her
favorite piece to direct of the
upcoming marching season’s
selections are “Queen City”
because it was one of the first
marches the senior learned
when she first joined the KHS
band. Even now, she said, she
sometimes ends up with it
stuck in her head.
Lindsey called band one of
her passions, along with theater, as she enters her senior
year before pursuing a career
as a veterinarian after high
school.
“I want to make sure that
I go as far as I can to do everything I can to make sure
everybody gets where they
need to, whether that’s staying after or doing jumping
jacks,” Lindsey said. “I don’t
care what I have to do. I’m
going to do it to make this
band better because I care
about this band.”

'Because we chose to rise up and make a difference'
By CHELSEA KATZ
[email protected]
In the last BizConnect
luncheon of the Kilgore
Chamber of Commerce’s
fiscal year, Kilgore ISD Superintendent Cara Cooke recapped the district’s history
Tuesday before discussing
the future of the school.
What began with the Alexander Institute in 1873 officially turned into the Kilgore
Independent School District
on Aug. 27, 1906 – 110 years
ago – when 53 residents voted unanimously to form the
public school district.
With all the changes the
district has undergone in its
history, Cooke asked what
those 53 voting residents
would think of what the district has become.
“A healthy and successful
school district benefits everyone… As we look ahead it is
important to remember that
none of us will get where we
want to go by ourselves,” she
said. “It is through a collective vision and partnership
and sometimes sacrifice we
are able to blaze a trail where
we can leave a legacy for future generations where those
that come after us look back
at the history we are making
today and they see all that
was made possible because
we chose to rise up and make
a difference.”
Cooke complimented the
students and teachers who
have led the way in creating
innovative, cross-curricular
classes, especially at Kilgore
High School, after seeing the
documentary “Most Likely
to Succeed” in November.
With a growing number of
these classes, she said, KHS
faculty and staff members
plan to have an open house
at the end of the year to allow the students to display
their work and lessons from
the class.
Cooke also used the luncheon to announce the district’s Idea Exchanges will
begin again in September
after the school year gets underway Aug. 22.
She explained three components enable a school district to serve and improve its
community: quality teachers,
quality facilities and successful programs.
In the area of faculty members, Cooke said, KISD added 60 new faculty members
for the upcoming school year
to replace teachers who either
retired or otherwise chose to
leave their KISD classrooms.
“Teachers are the very
backbone of everything that
we do in our society, and
that’s what makes our society
so great,” Cooke said.
The task was more difficult
than previous years, though,
because the pool of teachers
became smaller and some
teachers chose to go to other
neighboring districts that offered a more competitive salary, she said.
With the facilities, she
said, the board members will
be working with a districtwide facility study to determine what needs in the
district must be addressed
to make sure they meet students’ needs.
The programs have expanded since the introduction
of House Bill 5 in 2013 with
an increase in dual credit, career and technical education
be faced with more rigorous
standards, she said.
State tests have become
more rigorous over the years
and continue to change as
districts chase after the new
standards after each change.
Cooke proudly announced all five KISD campuses received “met standard” ratings for the 20152016 school year.
(CTE) classes and innovative,
cross-curricular classes. Cooke
said she was proud of the employees and board members
in the district for providing
students with the opportunities they have, including the
multiple fine arts classes and
dual credit classes in multiple
areas, such as welding.

Placement (AP) classes will

the local control and they would come back and
they could reinstate all or a portion or whatever.
That was their intent – local control,” KISD Superintendent Cara Cooke said Tuesday. “It just
didn’t play out that way.”
Proposition 1, which Texans approved by an 86
percent in-favor vote in November 2015, changed
the song, though, as the new law seemingly reversed the action KISD and 22 other school districts took before the July 1 deadline for them to
change local homestead exemptions.
In addition to increasing the state-mandated
homestead exemption by $10,000 – bumping it
up to $25,000 from $15,000 – Texas Attorney
General Ken Paxton supported the view the law
worked retroactively to require KISD and those
22 other district to revert back to their 2014 optional homestead exemption levels.
The summary of Paxton’s March 17 opinion
stated, “Subsection l 1.13(n-1) of the Tax Code
prohibits a school district, municipality, or county from repealing or reducing the local option
homestead exemption from the amount that was
adopted for the 2014 tax year through the 2019
tax year.”
The opinion was simply that, though: an opinion with no directive accompanying it. Paxton’s
view of the law conflicted with that of KISD’s attorney, who held the board was within its right to
take the action it did.
After a year spent sitting on the money collected
through the rescinded exemption and with no directive from the state, Cooke said, the district has
begun using the money generated from the homestead exemption.
Cooke called the money brought in by the
board’s action as the district’s “saving grace” in a
year of reduced tax revenue and said the district
had to move forward for the sake of the 4,000-plus
students and nearly 600 employees.
“We are moving forward with using those funds
because we feel like we owe it to the taxpayers to be
able to show them the great things that are going
to be done. I think they will feel better knowing
that we used it wisely and productively than just to
sit there in limbo, so we’re not doing that,” Cooke
explained. “We’re going to move forward and even
though the intent of the decision a year ago was
for the local control in case we ever needed… to
rescind that again or whatever we have that choice.
“No one knew that less than a year later this
would happen," needing the funds just to maintain, with some movement forward: "We’re not
talking big movement here as far as facilities and
all that, we’re just talking about looking at our priorities list from that facilities study and starting to
slowly work on safety first and access to students.”
Cooke could not say what projects will get top
billing to benefit from the funds, though, because that will ultimately be a decision the board
will make.
“We’re not going to be frivolous. We are going
to be very, very careful that anything done or spent
is done because it needs to be,” Cooke continued.
“We’re on a needs basis; we’re not working off of
the wants. This is needs.”
Employees were asked to present their budgets
in a similar fashion to differentiate between the
wants and the needs.
“You can give us what you want over here, but
know that we just hope we can meet your needs…
I don’t want anything, including lack of resources,
to prevent us from moving forward,” Cooke said.
“When you think about innovative classes and all
these offerings, it takes funds to purchase the items
that are needed for those classes… We just have
such a big vision of where we want to be, but we
realize it’s going to take time to get there and we
just have to be good stewards.”
District officials are also actively looking for
grants to use to provide technology and supplies
in the classrooms.
When the question arose of what to do with the
$660,000 collected off the rescinded homestead
exemption – and going for a second year now also
– the state left a question mark on the decision,
Cooke said, and a decision had to be made.
“So we give it back and then I lay off people
and I have very large classrooms and we don’t fix
things that need to be fixed and we do that to our
students – when you look at it, that’s the decision that would have been made,” she explained
matter-of-factly. “We reinstate [the 20 percent exemption] and then we would be in the millions
of dollars in revenue lost that we would not have
any way to recoup… We would have had large
classrooms, things that would not be fixed, we
wouldn’t be renovating anything; teachers would
be talking about innovation, but I wouldn’t be
able to provide anything for them to be innovative
with students. We would have had to have a rift,
bottom line. That would affect the families affect
the students. The pebble in that pond would have
been, I think, detrimental to this community, in
my opinion. That’s just the black and white of it.”
Cooke called the choice a “step of faith” by the
board members and the district officials.
“We are in a place where in order to keep doing
what we see needs to be done for this district, for
this community we’re just taking a step of faith
that it’s all going to work out. That our taxpayers in the end are going to rally around us,” she
said. “I just believe in the spirit of this community, and I just believe in that. I have no data to
back that up. I have no directive from the state.
There’s sometimes in life when you’ve just got to
go from something that you feel from within and
being four years in this community, I just believe
in this community and I believe in the end they
will rally around us when they realize how important this is and that it’s the right thing to do
for these students."
The district is not completely out of luck if the
state orders the 23 districts, including KISD, to
pay back the money it collected and revert back to
the 2014 levels.
“Anything could happen; we realize that, but
right now we feel like what we’ve got to do is take
care of what needs to be done now with the information we have now and work off of what’s
fact and not opinion, and we work with that.
Then if that occurs then we will deal with it,” she
said. “And we will not put the district in a place
where we could not take care of any situation that
arose. We try to keep our fund balance at a level
for maintaining operation costs, so we still are going to be good stewards there, but we’re not in
the business of being a savings account. We’re in
the business of educating students, so we’ve got
to balance that and ensure that we have the fund
balance available for those operating costs for at
least three months out and for anything that could
potentially fallout from this.”
Cooke encouraged anyone interested in discussing or voicing their concerns about the budget or
homestead exemption situation to contact her office at 903-988-3900.

BY their numbers, four in 10 U.S. adults now identify as ‘political independents’ (42 percent) compared

their plans around the construction and moved the
event down the hallway into
the KHS library, rather than
substantially change the
process or send registration
back to the individual campuses.
Part of the transition was
figuring out how to give
people enough space and resources to efficiently register their children for the upcoming school year, which
begins Aug. 22.
“We were worried about
the space, and we knew that
was going to be an issue,
but we were trying to make
the best of what we had,”
Lane said. He described
the day as going “overwhelmingly well” with the
30 KISD employees doing
their best to make each line
move smoothly throughout
the day.
For some, One-Stop
Registration meant simply
showing a proof of residency to complete the process
they began online at home.
Others completed the entire
registration at the school
using computers available
throughout the library and
teachers lounge.
“I like that they actually
offer computers to people
who don’t have access at
home,” Megan Biggs said.
Although she has access
to a computer at home,
Syrena Witt took advantage of the school’s computers and better Internet
connection to register her
four children, noting she
completed the registration
in about 15 minutes. She
was pleased with the process and said it was about
the same as last year.
“It was easy. So far we’ve
loved it,” she said, as she
and her son Sam headed
down to the other end of
the hallway to pick up his
KHS ID card and schedule.
Juanita McLemore completed the online registration at home and used the
first day of One-Stop Registration to bring her proof of
residence and complete the
process.
“I like doing it online…
It’s quick, simple – for me
it’s simple. I think each parent should do it online,” she
said, adding she plans to do
the same thing next year.
As Brooke Gill registered
her children at one of the
computer stations at KHS,

Parents and students collect registration information and learn about transportation and meal plans available for their students at tables set up in the Kilgore High School library and the hallway just outside during the first day of the school district’s
One-Stop Registration, which continues through Thursday in the library to accommodate construction in the KHS cafeteria.
she said, the process was
not too bad but she began
thinking she should have
done the bulk of the online
registration at home.
While returning students
were sent down to the library, parents registering
new students were directed
into the teachers’ lounge to
meet with representatives
from campuses to register
their children.
In addition to an overall
increase in people completing the registration process
Monday, Lane said, there

fundraiser set Thursday
The Overton Rotary Club’s annual Ice
Cream Supper and Auction will be held
this Thursday, August 11, 2016 at the
Overton Community Building beginning
at 6:30 PM. Tickets are available from
Rotarians and can be bought at the
door. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3
for children aged 12 and under.
Proceeds from tickets and the auction
benefit the community through scholarships, dictionaries to students, RYLA
camp, student of the quarter awards,
support for the Rusk County Student
Project Show, and other area projects.
“We have a good impression of the school,” he said.
“It’s a different life. We’re
excited.”
In order to get the school
ready for four days – and
two evenings – of registration, KHS Principal Greg
Brown said, a lot of preplanning took place to get
the tables, computers and
locations set up.
Adjustments are being
made throughout the day to
help alleviate traffic snags,
Lane said. “It’s not perfect,
but we’re trying to keep
people from crowding in on
each other.”
One-Stop Registration will
continue through Thursday
with regular hours from 8
a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday

hours Thursday evening

“We don’t see, at this point,
any evidence of a crime but
we do believe it could be heatrelated due to the temperatures
we’re experiencing right now.”
According to the National

peaked at 100 degrees Sunday
afternoon.
An individual living in a

site because Kilgore Primary
School did not host a preKindergarten Round-Up
event this year for some of
the youngest KISD students
to get registered early.
“Because of that we had
more of those little bodies,
which greatly shrinks the

rambunctious; they’re full
of energy.”
Just as when it is set up in
the cafeteria, parents could
speak with representatives
from the district’s food services and transportation departments after registering

A district nurse and parent volunteer representative

might have.

Pharmacologist expects Zika will reach East Texas
By JAMES DRAPER
[email protected]
NEWS HERALD photo by JAMES DRAPER
UTTyler Health Science Center Pharmacologist Dr. Joe Sartor visits with
Ana-Lab's Dr. Weldon McFarland (left) and other Kilgore Rotarians following his presentation Aug. 3.
At first blush, the Zika virus’ symptoms
aren’t jarring, Dr. Joe Sartor says.
According to the University of Texas
Health Science Center pharmacologist,
“The symptoms are so light, people may
have cases and they’re not reporting it. One
of the problems we’ve had with developing
the vaccine is finding people that had Zika.”
The effects, though, can be tragic – on
Tuesday a baby with a Zika-linked defect
died shortly after birth in Harris County,
the first death related to the virus in Texas.
In his second annual visit to the Kilgore
Rotary Club Aug. 3, Sartor addressed Zika
as an immediate concern.
“It’s not something that we’re not going
to see in East Texas,” he cautioned.
According to reports, the Harris County
baby’s mother traveled to South America
during her pregnancy; contracting the disease from the mother, the infant was born
with microcephaly, which causes abnormal
head and brain development.
The Centers for Disease Control & Pre-
vention reports 15 infants born in the United States have exhibited birth defects related to the Zika virus in addition to seven
lost pregnancies caused by the virus – Texas’
first case of microcephaly linked to Zika
was reported last month.
In addition to the two cases of Zika-related microcephaly, Texas has seen 95 cases
of Zika virus infection, all related to travel
abroad. Reportedly, no cases in the state
have been linked transmission by mosquitoes here.
It’s primarily a mosquito-borne virus, Sartor confirmed, but Zika can also be sexually-transmitted in addition to being passed
from a mother to an unborn child.
Right now, he said, “We don’t have
enough cases to put numbers on it.”
In addition to the Zika virus and a short
Q&A with the local Rotarians, Sartor also
touched on the Rio 2016 Olympics and the
rampant reports of unsanitary conditions at
the site of the games.
With so many public health there, “It’s a
treating physician’s nightmare,” Sartor said.
For the athletes, “Dysentery may be their
least concern from the water down there.”

HOROSCOPE JACQUELINE BIGAR
FORECAST FOR WEDNESDAY, AUG. 10
ARIES (March 21-April 19)  Deal with
others directly. You might have a lot to share.
Someone you deal with on a daily basis could
make a difference once you listen to the rationale
behind his or her thinking. Finally, you seem to
agree! Tonight: Enjoy a leisurely dinner for two.
You will be smiling a lot.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)  Defer to
others. Listen to what is being offered; your opinions could transform as a result. One-on-one
relating with those who are close to you and/or
are involved with you financially will make all the
difference. Tend to this area of your life. Tonight:
Opt for closeness.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)  Pace yourself. Your sunny personality will make all the difference in how you handle a personal matter. Be
aware of what is happening with a dear friend.
Compliment a partner on his or her ability to understand both sides of an issue. Tonight: Have a
long-overdue chat.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)  You could
be unusually resourceful and resilient when handling a problem. You might feel much better
than you previously had thought possible. Go
within yourself to resolve a conflict between your
intellectual side and your emotional side. Tonight: Full of fun and laughter.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)  Stay centered,
and know that many different ideas could float in
from many different people. Just because someone’s concepts sound far-fetched does not mean
that they don’t have value. Listen to what this
person has to say. Tonight: Head home and order some takeout.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)  Understand
what a key person is sharing. Ask questions, especially if you feel as if this person’s words could
have an effect on you. You might be up for trying a different approach to a recurring problem.
Welcome feedback. Tonight: Speak your mind,
but be diplomatic.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)  You could
be over-the-top about what you are doing financially. Get some advice from someone who understands far more about money than you do.
Weigh your options carefully before you decide
on a plan of action. Tonight: Be open to another
person’s ideas.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)  You could
be exhausted by everything you have to do. Know
that you are one of the few people who is capable of handling so much, especially as you tend
to deal with diverse interests. Understand what
is going on around you. Tonight: Try to speak to
someone in a polite manner.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)  You
sense a lot of activity going on around you that
you might not be in the loop about. Consider that
knowing less ultimately will be to your benefit.
You will know what is happening soon enough.
You can be just as spontaneous as anyone else.
Tonight: Do your own thing.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)  Zero
in on your priorities, and stay on top of a personal matter. You could be in a position to take
action on behalf of someone else. Use your fine
sense of judgment. Check in with several people
who might have some strong thoughts about
what to do. Tonight: Go for it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could
be in a position where you will want to change
your direction. What you find out in a discussion
is likely to make a big difference in your choices.
If you are unsure, wait to make a decision until
you feel more confident. Tonight: In the whirlwind of living.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)  Reach out
to an expert. You might be looking to broaden
your horizons and perhaps even become more
educated in a certain discipline. There is no such
thing as having too much knowledge. A friend
will be very supportive. Tonight: Relax and bingewatch a favorite series.
ADVICE
TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
DR. KEITH ROACH
Vena cava filter stops
dots from reaching lungs
DEAR DR. ROACH: In November 1997, while
traveling, I had a pulmonary embolism. I was treated
with urokinase to the lungs and a vena cava filter was
placed. In November 2006, I had a CT scan of my abdomen. The report says there is an IVC filter in place.
A posterior limb appears to have extended beyond the
caval wall consistent with perforation. I am now seeing ads on TV that people with an IVC filter should
be concerned and that the Food and Drug Administration considers them dangerous. I am 62 years old
and never had any problem. Should I be concerned?
Are there any studies being done on the long-term effects of these filters? -- H.L.
ANSWER: The inferior vena cava is the large vein
that receives blood from the legs, pelvis and abdominal organs and returns it to the heart. A blood clot
in the legs or pelvis must pass through the vena cava
if it is going to the lungs, a potentially life-threatening complication called pulmonary embolism (an
embolus is any foreign material, such as cholesterol,
blood clot or air that moves from one part of the body
to another). The IVC filter was designed to capture
the clot, preventing it from going to the lung. Over
time, the body dissolves the clot on its own.
The vena cava filter is an alternative to anticoagulation, such as warfarin (Coumadin) or a newer agent
like rivaroxaban (Xarelto). The vena cava filter often is
used in people who will need anticoagulation forever;
this can be due to recurrent clots, an unmodifiable
risk factor or sometimes a life-threatening clot (what
it sounds like yours was). Compared with not getting
treatment, both anticoagulation and IVC filters are
effective, reducing the risk of pulmonary embolism to
about 2 percent per year.
There are complications of IVC filters, including
penetration of the IVC wall by the filter legs, which is
what your CT scan shows. In most people, this doesn’t
cause problems, although it can rarely cause bleeding
or injury to the bowel wall. Other complications include the filter moving into the chest, fracture and infection, all of which happen less than 1 percent of the
time. The filter itself can cause a blood clot, at a rate
of 1 to 2 percent per year. Because any IVC filter does
affect blood flow, there is a small increase in the rate
of blood clots below the filter (in the legs or pelvis),
but these are still protected from going into the heart.
The complication rate needs to be compared against
the alternatives, including doing nothing and using
anticoagulation. For most people with a long-term
need for treatment to prevent blood clots, IVC filters
are a reasonable choice.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I take omeprazole 40 mg.
My new gastroenterologist just changed the dose
to 20 mg. Unfortunately, just before this, I had ordered a 90-day supply of the 40-mg capsules. I pulled
apart one of the capsules and found that it contains
granules, not powder. Can I just divide the granules?
I would hate to throw away all the 40-mg pills. -H.B.S.
ANSWER: Without a coating, omeprazole is destroyed in the stomach, so manufacturers use a coating to delay absorption until the medicine reaches
the intestine. Prilosec OTC tablets cannot be broken.
If the capsules you have contain granules, it’s likely
that the granules themselves are coated, so you could
divide the contents into two. However, you should
speak to your pharmacist to be sure.

FOOTBALL PREVIEW AUG. 24!
Local previews featuring Kilgore, KC, Sabine, West Rusk,
Overton and Leverett's Chapel, all a part of the News
Herald's annual football preview in Wednesday, Aug. 24.
HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL
Playoff return, possible district title among KHS goals
By MITCH LUCAS
[email protected]
Practices, play days and then performance
– that’s what second-year Kilgore High
School volleyball coach Lacy Coldiron is
seeking in the next two weeks.
Coldiron – formerly Lacy Osborne but
married since her first year at the helm of
the Lady Bulldogs last year – plans to get
Kilgore’s volleyball program back to where
it once was in the 1990s: a regular postseason team.
The Lady Bulldogs got to the UIL Class
4A playoffs in Coldiron’s first season, and
that was an accomplishment; Kilgore has
only made the playoffs twice since the early
1990s. They won two of their final three
regular season games to get in, but unfortunately, they ran into a buzzsaw in the first
round: 35-game-winner North Lamar, who
beat the Lady ‘Dogs in three games.
She won’t have a great deal of experience
in 2016, but Coldiron says she’s happy with
what she’s seen so far, in the span of just
a couple of days since practice began last
Monday.
“I believe (2016) is going to be great for
us,” she said. “We don’t (have a lot returning with experience), but we’ve got a lot of

ON-THE-JOB TRAINING -- Kilgore High School junior Patrick "Buddy" Jackson (right) listens to KHS offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Rafe
Mata during a practice last week. The Bulldogs will visit Gilmer Friday night for a preseason scrimmage, host Hallsville next Friday for another one, and
then get at it for real on Aug. 26, at Nacogdoches. Most area high school programs have scrimmages this week, including Sabine, West Rusk and Overton.
HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
Preseason prep in high gear for area gridiron programs
By MITCH LUCAS
[email protected]
Before the fun on the gridiron
can begin, there’s a lot of work to
be done, and that’s what’s going
on this week for area high school
football programs.
Kilgore, winners of its district
title a year ago and a second-round
playoff team, will play a preseason
scrimmage at Gilmer this Friday
night. That’s starting at 6 p.m.,
with freshmen and junior varsity,
and then varsity to follow.
Coach Mike Wood’s Bulldogs
will be on hand Thursday night –
tomorrow night – at 6 p.m. at the
Mitchell Field House on campus,
for the annual watermelon feast.
Fans are invited to join the players,
coaches, the KHS band, cheerleaders, Hi-Steppers and the booster
club for all the watermelon they’d
like.
Season ticket packages for those
who had them last year can still
be picked up today and tomorrow at the athletic department office, a cost of $28 each (a ticket to
each of the Bulldogs’ four home
games).
Next Friday, Aug. 19, Kilgore
hosts Hallsville for a final scrimmage, and then the games begin
to count on Aug. 26, the season
opener at Nacogdoches.
The Bulldogs' first home game is
the following week (Sept. 2 against
Gladewater) and they round out
the non-district schedule with trips
to Pine Tree (Sept. 9) and Texas
High in Texarkana (Sept. 16).
District play begins Sept. 23 at
home against Palestine, which is
also homecoming.
Kilgore's booster club is already
meeting. They do so at the field
house every Tuesday at 7 p.m.
Coach John Frazier’s West Rusk
High School Raiders are out to
collect another program-best season after going 12-2 and a fourthround playoff berth last year. The
Raiders will host Winona this Friday night, starting with JV at 6
p.m., with varsity to follow around
7. The following week, West Rusk
hosts Ore City for another scrimmage on Thursday, Aug. 18, beginning with JV at 5, varsity at 6.
The Raiders open the season at
home against Winnsboro on Aug.
26.
The Sabine High School Cardinals are seeking to make the playoffs for the third straight year when
their 2016 season opens Aug. 26 at
home against Paul Pewitt.
They’ve got scrimmages scheduled on the road against Troup
and San Augustine (this Friday at
5 p.m. at Troup) and then at home
against Grace (next Thursday at 5
p.m.).
Sabine went 4-7 last year, falling
to Daingerfield by just a touchdown in the first round of the UIL
Class 3A Division I playoffs.
It’s new beginnings of sorts at
both Overton and Leverett’s Chapel.
The Mustangs, under new head
coach Richard Strickland, hope to
keep that lucky horseshoe they’ve
used the last few years – Overton
has been in the playoffs for four
years running. Strickland replaces
Josh Barton as the Mustangs’ head
coach and athletic director.
The Mustangs head to Alto
this Friday for a 5 p.m. preseason
scrimmage, and then will be at the
middle school gymnasium Monday
night at 7 to meet and greet the
fans. A second and final preseason
scrimmage for the Mustangs will
be at Beckville next Thursday at
6:30 p.m.
Overton opens the season at
home Aug. 26 against Union
Grove.
Coach Andy Bates will officially
take over the Leverett’s Chapel
football program, a normal playoff
contender, this year after serving
as the interim head coach a year
ago. Matt Everett, the program’s
coach for many years since it’s return to the school over a decade
ago, is now in administration; last
year’s head coach, Wes McWhorter
(Everett’s former assistant coach)
was diagnosed with cancer.
The Lions missed the postseason last year, a rare miss, but hope
for a return to the UIL’s six-man
playoffs. They’ll open the season
at home against Exel, a team from
Canyon, on Aug. 26.

NHRA RACING / TOP FUEL DIVISION
Torrence's fate in Seattle TBD
NHRA rules showdown with Brown to finish in Minn.
By DAVE DENSMORE
Special to the News Herald
SEATTLE, Wash. – Steve Torrence raced
into the final round of the 29th annual ProtecttheHarvest.com Nationals Sunday before rain suspended competition at Pacific
Raceways and postponed his showdown
with two-time and reigning series champion
Antron Brown to another site on another
date.
Turns out that date will be next weekend.
All of the final rounds in the season’s 16th
event last weekend in Washington will be
completed in conjunction with later events.
The three pro finals, including that between
Torrence and Brown, will be contested in
conjunction with the 35th annual Lucas Oil
Nationals at Brainerd, Minn., August 19-21.
Torrence, from Kilgore, beat Scott Palmer
in Sunday’s first round, avenged last week’s
loss to Richie Crampton in round two and
dispatched J.R. Todd in the semifinals to
reach the money round for the fifth time
this season. He is 2-2 in previous finals with
wins at Pomona, Calif., and Englishtown,
N.J.
“It’s pretty disappointing not to get this
thing run today,” Torrence said Sunday, “but
no matter when or where we finally run
it, we’ve got a team and a hot rod that can
win it.” Torrence will pick his lane against
Brown in Brainerd.
Brown and Torrence are 1-3 in the
NHRA’s top fuel standings. Brown, from Indiana, leads with 1,301 (or 1,321, according
to the NHRA) and Torrence has 1,177 (or
1,197, it says). Doug Kalitta is at two, and
Brittany Force is at four.
Torrence has had quite a season: he's had
medical difficulties, including a heart attack,
that have forced him to miss time, but in
spite of that, he's done well the entire campaign.
VOLLEYBALL
young girls and they all want
to work hard..”
One returnee for the Lady ‘Dogs is multi-talented,
multi-sport athlete Katy Raby, who will be a senior this
season. Raby, a cheerleader
and also a state-qualifier in
track and a member of the
Kilgore girls soccer team,
had 161 kills a year ago. Mya
Collins, another senior, is
also on board.
Also back are juniors Tianna Holland and Janine
Dunn. “(Holland) had quite
a few blocks last year, and
Janine didn’t see a lot of
time, but she’s coming back
and we expect her to play a
good role.”
Sophomores Jamaria
Thomas and Nicki Rawls are
in the mix as well, Coldiron
noted.
Kilgore’s first home game
is Aug. 23 against Sabine.
The Lady ‘Dogs will play
in District 15-4A, alongside
Bullard, Gilmer, Gladewater, Spring Hill and Chapel
Hill. The top four teams, of
course, get into the postseason. (Kilgore’s complete
schedule is online at kisd.
org, under the athletics section of the high school campus)
Spring Hill has been the
giant for the last few years,
but has had some changes:
longtime coach Karen Brundrett has moved on and the
Lady Panthers are now led
by Dawn Stewart. In seven
seasons, Spring Hill won
almost 250 games under
Brundrett.
Spring Hill isn’t the only program with changes,
Coldiron said.
“It should still be a good
district,” she said, “but we
did have a lot of coaching changes, and you never
know what that will bring.”
Spring Hill won the district a year ago and made it
one round shy of the state
championship, falling to Argyle. Argyle also defeated
another team from this district, Gilmer, in the fourth
round. Kilgore lost to North
Lamar, as mentioned, and
the other playoff team was
Bullard, who also lost in the
first round.
Last weekend, the Lady
Bulldogs were involved in a
pair of preseason play-days,
which won’t count as a part
of their 2016 record, but did
serve as good warm-ups and
allow the coaches to see how
far along the team is.
Kilgore competed in a
play-day at Tatum on Friday,
then at Henderson Saturday.
Kilgore is slated to play in
tournaments at Gary (this
weekend, starting Thursday),
and ETBU in Marshall next
weekend (Aug. 18-20), with
a dual matchup against John
Tyler and Sulphur Springs at
JT on Aug. 16.
That home opener against
Sabine is next, on Aug. 23,
and then Arp here on Aug.
30. District play opens Sept.
20 at Gladewater.
Back as coaches alongside
Coldiron are Kathy Mehringer and Cheyenne Kirkpatrick.
“When as a family we realized we could not adequately care for an
older loved one 24/7, we were so very fortunate to have found this
place that creates a bright, loving “home atmosphere” with a Christian
environment, with loving, patient and kind caregivers that not only
replicate the kind of care we would give our loved one but is able to
provide it around the clock when otherwise our family member would
be alone. We are grateful to have found them!”
