Emergency Preparedness training exercise March 1 by Dale Freeman, Tyler County EOC On Saturday, March 1, 2014, there will be a training exercise for emergency preparedness occurring in or around Woodville. The Tyler County Emergency Management Department and the American Red Cross will co-host the event with the participation of the Tyler County Sheriff ’s Department, the Woodville Police Department, the Woodville Fire Department, the Tyler County Search and Rescue Organization, The Tyler County Hospital, and Dogwood EMS. The situation or scenario that we will train or respond to will be a simulated weather related disaster affecting a single neighborhood. Unlike in a natural or man-made disaster, we will have the luxury of slowly, even methodically, walking through the steps of the event and even redoing the steps until we get it right. At this time, we are not releasing the details of the scenario or the location where it is going to occur to keep to the mission of the training and the integrity of the lessons learned. We will, at the same time, be activating the Emergency Operations Center to respond as if this were an actual event. We will notify the homeowners in our target neighborhood so that they do not become alarmed with the activities occurring on the street in front of their homes. Our training and our activities will be limited only to the street. We will not be coming onto your property as would likely occur in an actual emergency. The homeowners seeing us on the streets are invited if they like to walk out to the streets and interact with responders as would occur in a natural event. The Tyler County Emergen- cy Management Office would like to thank the residents of the target neighborhood in advance for the use of their neighborhood for this exercise. We believe that exercises and training such as this will allow us to find the right people to fill our positions, making them better capable of responding to any event that might occur. We hope the efforts of our career personnel, as well as our volunteers, in this situation give comfort to the citizens of Tyler County that we are always there and we are prepared and capable of handling whatever situation might occur. Search for truant student leads to two arrests by Emily Waldrep Several deputies, along with Woodville School Resource Officer Bubba Sheffield, were checking on the welfare of a 14-year-old truant child in Ivanhoe Tuesday, February 11, when they found the child living in deplorable living conditions with her mother and another male. “At the time of the investigation the temperature was extremely cold,” said Chief Deputy Phil Ryan. “There was no running water, no electricity, no heat and almost all of the windows were busted out of the mobile home.” Child Protective Services (CPS) was notified of the con- dition of the home, but decided that since the child was 14 years old, they felt like the child was in no danger. “We were not happy with CPS’s decision to take no action on behalf of child,” Ryan said. The white male that was living in the residence was not related to the child and was reported to be the boyfriend of the child’s Fred mother arrested for child endangerment after missing child call by Emily Waldrep A Fred mother was arrested February 20 in Fred after her two children, ages 2 and 4, left her home and wandered across a major highway alone.

Continuance granted in Maddox child custody hearing A Tyler County Court has granted a continuance until April 9 in the child custody hearing of Madison Maddox, the five-yearold daughter of Nathan Maddox, who, with his wife Krystal, was murdered outside Mount Carmel Baptist Church in Colmenseil January 19. Madison, who was living with her paternal grandparents, Paul and Letha Westfall, and her mother, Kristen Westfall, will remain in foster care until the judge makes a custody decision. Madison was removed from the Westfall’s home shortly after the incident. Coy Lee Collins, a special investigator with Child Protective Services (CPS), testified at the first hearing that Madison was removed from the Westfall’s care and placed into foster care because methamphetamine residue, a syringe and a loaded .22 revolver were found in the Westfall’s home, and could be accessible to the five year old. Collins also said there were sanitation concerns because of raw sewage on the property. Madison’s paternal grandfather, Jim Maddox, said that he was just interested in the child’s safety. “At this point the main thing is Madison’s safety, and it is not a matter of what I want or my wife wants or what the Westfalls want,” Maddox said. “It is all about Madison’s safety.” There are several agencies working on the murder case. All leads are being taken seriously and thoroughly investigated. “We have some excellent agencies from the Tyler County Sheriff ’s Department, Texas Rangers, and even the FBI who have come in,” Maddox said. “They have been available as far as resources and council with law enforcement.” Anyone with information about the murder should phone Tyler County Sheriff ’s Department at (409) 283-2172. mother. He said his name was Jordan Terrell. Officers felt he was lying transported him to the jail where his fingerprints were run through the system. His fingerprints identified him as Jeremy Hopkins, age 21. Hopkins was wanted for Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child, along with Failure to Register as a Sex Offender, and was arrested on both of those charges, as well as a new charge from Tyler County, Failing to Identify as a Fugitive From Justice. The mother of the child, who was not identified, was also arrested for an outstanding warrant.

Fred mother arrested for child endangerment...from pg. 1A down the road. The mother said it was not the first time the children had left the house in a similar fashion. “The kids would have had to walk down two county roads and then cross Highway 92 to get to where they were,” said Chief Deputy Phil Ryan. Highway 92 is a dangerous, major highway for anyone to be crossing and is much more dangerous and even deadly for young children to be crossing unattended. McCoy was placed under arrest for Endangering a Child and the children were turned over to the custody of their grandmother. CPS was also notified, and there will be a follow-up investigation. Law enforcement officials say “thanks” to a witness of the event, who stopped the children from crossing Highway 92 a second time and was able to pick them up and take them to Fred Grocery, avoiding a possible disaster.

House Bill 259, which took effect when Gov. Rick Perry signed it Capitol Highlights into law on June 14, 2013, allows By political speech Ed outsideofthe100Sterling foot zone at public buildings where election polls are located. The new law trumps local practices that previously may have prevented citizens from engaging in political speech outside of the 100-foot zone. “This change in law protects First Amendment rights by assuring that people are able to express their political views without fear of prosecution or persecution,” said state Rep.Ron Simmons,R-Carrollton, primary author of HB 259, in a Feb. 18 statement. “Language was specifically included in the bill to authorize reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions on electioneering conducted outside of the 100-foot marker,so long as electioneering is not prohibited altogether,” Simmons added.“HB 259 protects some of our nation’s most fundamental rights: the freedom of speech and the right to vote.” DPS offers election ID and other health clinics — serve about 170,000 low income women per year with services including family planning and health screenings. The agency estimated more than 60 percent of the women served will receive family planning services and that to be eligible for the program women must be 18 years of age or older and at or below 200 percent of Federal Poverty Level guidelines. According to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, 3.3 million Texas women are at or below the Federal Poverty Level.

In its case, Texas is petitioning the high court to stop the EPA and the Obama administration from broadening greenhouse gas enforcement standards to include more sources of carbon dioxide emissions. Out & About in Spurger With Ms. Billie There are millions of folks across our nation who volunteer in various capacities in order to improve the lives of their neighbors. These volunteers would cost millions of dollars to the communities they serve if they were paid for their services. I want to dedicate my column this month to the volunteer fire departments who serve the citizens of Tyler County and particularly the Spurger Volunteer Fire Department. According to the National Fire Protection Association,of the 1,129,250 firefighters in the U.S. in 2012, 783,300 (69%) were volunteer firefighters. There are an estimated 30,100 fire departments in the U.S., 20,050 of which are fully volunteer. We have 10 volunteer fire departments located in Tyler County and they are: Spurger, Fred, Dam B, IvanhoeHillister, Woodville, Warren, Chester, Colmesneil, Shady Grove and White Tail Ridge. Communities served by volunteer firefighters depend on them to be their first line of defenseformanytypesofemergencies.Theseemergenciesincludefires,medicalincidents, terrorist events,natural disasters,hazardous materials incidents,water rescue emergencies and general public service calls. These volunteers invest a large amount of time serving theircommunitiesandareoncall24/7.Timecommitmentsincludeoperationalresponses, training, fundraising, maintenance and administrative duties. Volunteering in the fire service is one of the most demanding and time consuming volunteer activities today. I decided to visit Spurger Fire Chief Ellis Jones in an effort to learn more about our volunteer fire department. All of the volunteer fire departments in Tyler County, except for Woodville and Chester, serve in emergency service districts and receive tax dollars based on three cents per $100 based on appraised value of property in their district. Woodville and Chester are funded through their cities. As members of emergency service districts, these fire departments are eligible to apply for grants through the Texas Forest Service and to apply for federal grants. Each fire department has an emergency service district board from their district that must approve the spending of any tax money.They are required to prepare an annual budget that has to be approved by Commissioner’s Court and are subject to audits.There is a Tyler County Firefighter Association that meets monthly inWoodville and is attended by the fire chiefs. Money raised from fundraisers is used for equipment and maintaining the fire station. The cost for one fireman to suit up in bunker gear is $2,000, and a self-contained breathing apparatus costs an additional $5,000. Chief Jones states that they fight structure,forest and pipeline fires,provide lift assistance for medical transports, set up landing zones for medical helicopters when required for traffic accidents and use “jaws of life” for vehicle accidents. It should be noted that only three volunteer fire departments in the county, including Spurger, have this equipment. Spurger Volunteer Fire Department has an agreement with other volunteer fire departments to provide assistance when necessary. Spurger has 18 firefighters and their families who serve our community. Chief Jones says, “each firefighter is a member of the team, and it requires all members to work together for [the] team to function.” If you think this isn’t enough information that you didn’t know abut your fire department, there’s more! Spurger Volunteer Fire Department has recently built two brush trucks and is currently rebuilding a rehab unit. What is a rehab unit? It is a vehicle that provides storage for drinking water, snacks for energy, contains an ambulance pack and is air-conditioned in order to cool down a firefighter. Spurger Volunteer Fire Department received its first new 2010 pumper truck from a federal grant and has received two brush trucks through grants from the Texas Forest Service. The next time you see a volunteer firefighter in your community, tell them thank you for their service and how much you appreciate their work.

All Content © 2014 - Tyler County Booster Reproduction In Any Form Without Permission Is Prohibited When I “went off ” to college in the mid-1950s, I was used to teachers in our 210-student high school that knew me and called me by my first name. (When they got mad at me they screeched: “ W illis Newman WEBB!!!”) Yeeesh. By Attending Sam Willis Houston State Webb University, nee State Teachers College in those days, was like attending a big Houston high school. There were 1900 students, 900 of them freshmen. Teachers-lecturers-professors were known as Mr., Miss or Doctor. The only place I got “familiar” with a T-L-P was in journalism where the head of the department, Dr. Ferol Robinson became known to me as “Dr. R.” Of course, he knew his “J”students by their first names. In most other classes, the T-L-Ps addressed us as Mr. Webb or Miss Hill. However, I had a woman instructor who used the formal Mr. or Miss in front of your name and added the term “honey” after your name. Her name was Martha Ann Turner and she was middle aged and unmarried. Ms. Turner was in the English department and taught a course in “creative writing,” which could be credited as either English or journalism. I chose it as a journalism course. In those somewhat puritanical mid- 1950s, one did not hear profanity or suggestive stories in a classroom, i.e., unless you took Ms. Turner’s creative writing course.While Ms.Turner did not use profanity, she did allow what were then considered “liberties” in writing creatively. The teaching and the writing were nowhere near the definition of lewd or “dirty” in today’s society. Word around campus was that if you wrote about alcohol, partying and the like and hinted at sex, you’d receive an “A” on the paper and perhaps in the course. The implication was that Ms. Turner loved implied sex and/or “dirty” stories and that you’d get a good grade for such inferences whether it was well written or grammatically correct. One thing is certain, however, and that is that Martha Ann Turner was colorful to the point of being entertaining. And, she was a very good teacher in the art of creative writing. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and, since I’d never known anyone like Ms. Turner, I was enamored of this intriguing instructor. She was a free spirit and developed in me a bent for writing creatively. My strict Baptist upbringing, to that point, prevented me from succumbing to suggestive description on writing assignments. Slowly, however, I did begin to write more “creatively.” In the second semester in school, I fell into the fraternity-sorority way of life of partying and having a good time, often to the detriment of grades. It also added some “understanding” to the lifestyles implied in the desired writing in Ms. CMYK Turner’s class. When Ms.Turner called on you in class, it was usually issued in this terminology: “Mr. Webb, Honey, would you please read your paper.” So, we clever devil students thought it was funny to refer to her among ourselves, as “Martha Ann Turner Honey.” Loving to dance — and already introduced to the favorite step of the day, the jitterbug — I leapt into the social swirl. The places to socialize and dance were those clubs that served beer and had a jukebox and, often, a band. The club of choice for underage imbibers was The Paper Moon in neighboring Trinity County, which was “wet” compared to then-dry Huntsville and Walker County. We soon learned that Martha Ann Turner Honey and another English instructor, Charles Adams, were frequenters of “The Moon.” It was said that if you’d buy Martha Ann Turner Honey a beer, you were ensured an A in the creative writing course. I couldn’t bring myself to buy a beer for a teacher, particularly in order to improve my grade in the class. However, I did always ask Martha Ann Honey to dance. We cut a pretty mean rug. My grade? An A, of course. I had dance lessons while attending high school. Willis Webb is a retired community newspaper editor-publisher of more than 50 years experience.

We have had new members join our painting group and we are so grateful. As we look at them we remember how it was when we first starting painting; we do speak a different language and I am sure they will do just fine. We are excited about the Dogwood Festival and Western Weekend coming up in March. We will be setting up beautiful art work in the Emporium for everyone to view so please come in for a visit and maybe you will find something that you want to take home. We will be there 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. Saturday the 22nd and Saturday the 29th. We are very excited about having this beautiful space to display our art and we invite everyone to come and see the variety of freshly finished work. Thought you might like to know that most all of our group is not originally from Woodville. As the saying goes we got here just as fast as we could. Some are originally from Beaumont, Alexandria, Vidor, Jasper and many other places. We are connected by art and you can feel the true heartwarming care and compassion we have for one another. A big “thank you” to Lynette Brice who instructed us in February. She drives from Call to assist us with our art; not only does she have patience, but a really big heart. Jean Humphrey will assist students with the whole range of artwork in March, which includes drawing, watercolor, oils and pastel. Who could ask for more? With spring on the way it is camping time again, and painting out of doors is what fuels us as artists. We might forget food items, or pots and pans, but we have all the art supplies that are required for outdoor painting.

You don’t see young people being trained in the things of God. Less than one-third even attend church occasionally. What we do see are parents with a great commitment and determination, making great sacrifices of both time and money for their children to participate in extra-curricular activities, especially sports. And the results of this misplaced effort have been devastating to the church and, ultimately, to our nation.

(Proverbs 22:6) The promise of God is right here. “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” To “train up” means to seriously invest the love, nurturing, and discipline needed for your child to become fully committed to God, our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. It also means to train your child to avoid whatever natural tendencies he might have that would prevent total commitment to God. Go for the gold!

We know there are many in our community who cannot go to church because they may be lonely or sick. That is why we have started a “Home Bound Ministry” - to go where they are and to minister to them, bringing hope for the hopeless and the good news that they are not alone. If you know anyone who would like a visit by a “Home Bound Ministry” team, we have three teams to serve you. You don’t have to be Assembly of God, and we will never ask you to join our church. We are here to serve you and to make Christ known to you in word and in deed. For ministry by one of the teams, call one of these team leaders: Charles and Faye Riley, 409-837-2008; Frances Lewis, 409-377-0386; or Elaine Cowart, 409-837-2017.

Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? 7 Are they not the ones who are blaspheming the noble name of him to whom you belong? James makes it clear whom he is addressing: brothers and sisters believers - who are to live a standard of the Christian life that has a definite pattern of behavior. James is addressing their conscience to check themselves; so should we. We are to recognize our brotherhood, or else feel his disqualification from that identification. Real Christians are real brothers and sisters and for the reason that they are really saved by the real free grace of God in Jesus Christ. James tells us those who will not love all God’s children cannot be truly loving their savior. We are not to show favoritism among the believers. God does not make judgement on the basis of criteria that are external and superficial. Those criteria are unfair and consistently misleading. Just because someone has power or money does not mean they will give more or do more for the Kingdom than anyone else. Only by faith in Him have we any real riches. James tells us that God chooses the poor. I believe that most would agree that in our churches that the bulk would be considered poor in the eyes of the world. The average church today only consists of just seventy-six men, women and children. So, to despise them would be to despise God’s love for them.

Some of them suffer from some substance abuse and some do not. Many of them have a problem with self-centeredness. A lot of them even attend some church. The late Ralph Waite said, “A self-centered, selfish life is not worth living.” In case you don’t know, Mr. Waite played John Walton in the Waltons television series. I thought it significant that a statement like Mr. Waite’s would come from someone who was so successful in Hollywood. What he said was truth. And you know what? There are a lot of self centered, selfish people in our world! In every walk of life there are those who don’t care what the Bible says. They don’t care what God thinks, and the idea of church is just plain old fashioned! And sadly, there are people who claim to know God’s word who don’t tell the truth, either. Consider Matthew 16:24 says: Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you want to be my follower, you must turn ‘Experience The Kingdom Ministries’ invites the public to from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me.” attend a “Miracle and Healing Service” which will be held on Consider Phil. 2:3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress othFriday, February 28, at 7 p.m. at Kingdom Seekers Church of ers.

U O r U. D fo DOUG CENTILLI for U. S. C o n g r e S S A life-long Republican who has been making a difference for the people of Congressional District 36. DOUG CENTILLI. TEXAS ROOTS. wAShINGTON SAvvy. w ashington, DC can be a terrible place. It’s no place for amateurs. And we’ve sure found out it’s no place to learn on the job. That’s why it’s so important that East Texas send Doug Centilli to Congress. Doug’s a Texas boy, Aggie football player, son a Texas high School teacher and football coach, grandson of a member of the Texas Border Patrol. his roots run deep, his Texas values run deeper. Centilli believes fiercely in the second amendment, the right to life, and traditional marriage. And he believes fiercely that Obamacare needs to be stopped dead, that our Government needs to be brought under control, our taxes lowered and jobs brought back to East Texas. he believes these things passionately, more importantly, he knows how to do something about them…and has already been working hard for the hard working people of District 36! As Chief of Staff for Representative Kevin Brady, even though District 36 wasn’t his district, Doug Centilli… • worked tirelessly on recovery efforts from hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Ike, fighting red tape and the federal bureaucracy to help deliver millions of dollars in aid to people in District 36. • Is a driving force and architect in the effort to move U.S. Army Command Africa to Ellington Field, bringing 5,000 jobs and millions of dollars to the District 36 economy. • has worked behind the scenes to help float the Battleship USS Texas, a important symbol of Texas patriotism and a key tourism attraction for District 36. Doug Centilli has already done good work for East Texas. Now let’s put him to work full time! DOUG CENTILLI wANTS TO GET ThE U.S BACK ON TRACK. East Texas needs someone in Congress who knows how to get things done. Doug Centilli knows the ropes, he has the contacts, and the respect of people in washington, to be a doer, not a talker. he’s already written key legislation to help take control of the value of our money from the elites in washington and put it in the hands of the people. his Sound Dollar Act “…could be one of the greatest pieces o legislation in history” according to Larry Kudlow of The Kudlow Report. he led the way with the chart that showed Congress just what was wrong with Obamacare. And his MAP Economic Plan has won praise for how it would reduce Federal spending and save America from fiscal crisis. It’s not his first rodeo… washington may be broken, but Doug Centilli knows how to make it work for the people of District 36. Early voting is February 18–28.

CMYK Page 2C TYLER COUNTY BOOSTER February 27, 2014 Warren Babin – Country Cajun Poet On the tailgate of Warren Babin’s old pickup, in all caps about an inch tall, one reads “CAJUN POET.” And so he is - a bit cautious at first - but once the introductions are over he and Mary, his wife of 38 years, welcome you a like longlost relative. Relishing their roots, Mary teases you in her Cajun French. Past two dogs and some, entering the door of their humble abode in Colmesneil, we find our way to a small bedroom museum of sorts where Warren’s treasure of several hundred LPs resides on shelves and in boxes in no particular order. Among the stacks of full-size LPs are rows of a few hundred 45s, 78s and some 8-track tapes. They love music, especially Cajun music. Warren has been collecting since high school, almost 50 years now. Today, Warren is 65 and looks and sounds a bit like Willie Nelson, a raspy voice, with shoulder-length graying hair. Cajun country to the bone. Only his smile is wider, and dare we say, more genuine than Nelson’s. Warren is an easy throwback to the ‘60s and ‘70s, the photo of him taken almost 20 years ago.

A great source of pride is the musical score he wrote years ago titled “In the Back of My Mind.” He has dabbled in art. In 1974, Warren completed a large painting, “The Burning Bush,” with stamp-pad ink prints and wire. It was hung in the Holy Order of Mans chapel in Sacramento, Ca., established in 1968 and disbanded in 1985 (HolyOrderOfMans.org). Amidst their home tour, Warren and Mary interject snippets of their life and love, a journey not easy or forgotten. Their love for their family and friends has never flagged. They have a son and daughter, Bronson and Marie, and two step-daughters, Penny and Tammy. Mary told how much her son loved her gumbo, how he would leave work to come home for lunch just for her gumbo. Clear as sunlight – the famously homespun love of the Cajun family circle and the uniquely spiced food lit this home. Both Warren and Mary delight in sharing his record collection. The impressive eclectic variety includes Marty Robbins’ “Gunfighter Ballads,” Bobby Darin’s “Sermon of Samson,” Elvis Presley’s “Devil in Disguise,” Fats Domino’s “Blueberry Hill,” an RCA 45 of “Gunsmoke,” Johnny Cash’s “Luther Played the Boogie,” a Time-Life collection of Bach, a Readers Digest collection “Take Me Home Country Road,” the U.S. Army band’s LP “Stand Up for America,” a 1966 Rolling Stones’ “Big Hits,” a memorial LP of JFK’s speeches, Elvis Presley’s “Christmas Album,” the Everly Brothers featuring their hit “Wake Up Little Suzie,” the Best of Merle Haggard, Johnny Mathis’ “Merry Christmas,” and the Mahler Symphony #5. Oh, look there! Warren has the original LP of Hank Williams’ classic “Jambalaya,” and – catch this – a Victor recording of “Jambalaya” in Japanese. Can you imagine that song sung in Japanese? Anyway, Hank Williams and his Drifting Cowboys published “Jambalaya (On The Bayou)” in 1952, just one year before the young Williams died at 29. You might remember a few of the lyrics of Jambalaya, “Goodbye Joe, me gotta go … My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh … Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.” The song is not unlike these two Cajuns. Among their fond stories was how Warren played the scrub board with spoons in Houma, La., at the Jolly Inn … a long time ago. Yet, he can still scrub a tune. Some cherished LPs are from the genuine Cajun musicians. Mary chimed in with her accented Cajun-English, “I told’em he need to get all my Thursday, February 27 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Come in and find out how to join the “Friends of the Library”, a wonderful group that supports the Allan Shivers Library.

A lot of them Cajun music, I don’t get rid of, no.” They seem to convey feeling in every word. Mary’s favorite is “Story of My Life: A Real Cajun at Heart,” by her brother-in-law, Richard Naquin (pronounced “nah-keen”). “I love my Cajun music,” Mary said. Jimmy C. Newman’s “Cajun and Country” is a favorite, for Jimmy and Warren are friends. Sammy Naquin and Waylon Thibodeaux’s “Jong A Moi or Spicy Cajun Music” (1978) is extra special, being that Sammy is Mary’s nephew who played the accordion, an instrument that helped to define a lot of Cajun music after the fiddle. This particular album is very rare, being self-produced, according to Wikipedia. L ong fellow published “Evangeline, A Tale of Acadie” in 1847, an epic poem of fiction often compared to Homer’s Iliad. It tells the story of a lady’s love for a Blacksmith’s son and the expulsion her people from Acadia by the French, mostly from the Provence of Quebec. The French conquest in 1710 dispersed the Acadians for the next 40 years until the Treaty of Paris in 1763. Joseph Broussard led the first group of 200 Acadians to Louisiana in 1765, and thus began the rich distinctive culture of the Cajuns. Some credit Longfellow’s poem for helping make the history famous, “Evangeline” becoming the poet’s most famous work. Yet the Cajuns’ resilient spirit in the Louisiana “bayou” helped forge a unique ethnic culture now recognized worldwide. Most fitting here, part of the Cajun legend and lore has to do with loss and love, in song and poetry, and that is true for Warren and Mary, too. Warren wrote “Crayons on the Wall,” a short poem about lost love and his confidence that he will be okay, if “I don’t break down today.” It was published in the World Poetry Anthology by John Campbell in 1987. In 1999, he wrote “Friends,” a rather somber ode to the acceptance of loss with the hope that “we can still be friends.” Warren and Mary are survivors. In 2006, he wrote “Little Crawfish,” a tragedy about a crawfish’s last day before becoming Cajun gumbo. Furthermore, inspired by a wire crawfish in Amy Bythewood’s legal office, he crafted a wire crawfish for his living room wall. Warren showed us his Bible and lamented mildly that not everyone believes, saying in his accented Cajun, “I don’t know if they understand … whatever it says, that’s what it is.” Good point, and from someone who knows about struggle and survival – real clarity from Colmesneil’s own Country Cajun Poet.
