Inside Story
Education Commissioner Criticises Federal Standards Initiative
AUSTIN—Texas Education Commissioner Robert
Scott, in an Austin American-Statesman interview
Dec. 2, suggested the White House is moving toward a federal takeover of public
schools. Scott said the Obama
administration’s “Race to the
Top” initiative to develop common math and English standards
for the nation’s public schools
is evidence of a takeover effort. He expressed fear that
some day federal education
funding for Texas could rely
on the state’s participation in

Education Commissioner criticises
federal standards initiative
By Ed Sterling
White joins race for governor

AUSTIN—Texas Education Commissioner Robert

a federal takeover of public Capitol Highlights

tion’s “Race to

the Top” initiative to develop
common math and English standards for
the nation’s public schools is evidence
of a takeover effort. He expressed fear
that some day federal education funding for Texas could rely on the state’s
participation in common standards. The
Race to the Top program, authorized
under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, is a competitive
grant program to encourage and reward
states that implement education reforms
in four areas: Enhancing standards and assessments; Improving the collection and use of
data; Increasing teacher effectiveness and
achieving equity in teacher distribution; and Turning around struggling schools. The
U.S. Department of Education will
award $4.35 billion in Race to the Top
funding in two phases, with Phase 1
funding awarded in spring 2010 and
Phase 2 funding awarded by Sept. 30,
2010. Texas’ share could be as much
as $700 million.
Houston Mayor Bill White, a Democrat, announced his candidacy for
governor on Dec. 4. White’s last day
as mayor will be Jan. 2. He has served
six years at the post and cannot run for
a third term because of term limits. The
San Antonio native is a graduate of
Harvard University and the University
of Texas School of Law. President Bill
Clinton appointed White Deputy Secretary of Energy in 1993 and he served in
that capacity until 1995. Upon White’s
announcement, rancher Hank Gilbert of

and instead will run for agriculture commissioner on the Democratic ticket.

Financial openness is recognized
The Texas Comptroller’s office has
launched a new “Leadership Circle”
program to spotlight local governmental bodies that have opened their
financial records to the public. The
state agency set gold, silver and
bronze achievement standards to rate
governmental bodies on their level of
transparency. A score sheet checks for
financial transparency features including budgets posted online for the current
fiscal year; details within the check
register; ease of access to the documents; creative use of charts or visual
images to make data more understandable; instructions on how to submit a
public information request; and the
availability of contact information for
current locally elected officials. And,

violation fees for unpaid tolls. TxDOT
offered to waive 90 percent of administrative and collection fees accrued in
return for payment of all outstanding
tolls. Late-payers also were required
to open a “TxTag” account and keep
it in good standing to receive the fee
reduction. About $3 million in late tolls
remain owed by roughly 140,000 toll
road users, TxDOT said.
Abbott defends Texas pledge words
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott
on Dec. 1 filed a brief with the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
defending the constitutionality of the
Texas Pledge of Allegiance. A pending
case claims the use of the words “under
God” in the pledge violate the separation clause in the First Amendment.
Lottery discourages tickets for
kids
The Texas Lottery on Dec. 3 announced it has joined with the National
Council on Problem Gambling and
McGill University in discouraging
adults from purchasing lottery tickets
for children.
“Holiday tickets with festive artwork
and winter themes are always popular
as stocking stuffers, but the games are
designed with adults in mind. You must
be at least 18 years old to purchase a

Director Gary Grief.

PROfessions:
Autumn Leaves
It’s about over for the year, but for a
couple of months we’ve been treated
to God’s annual display of extravagant
color in the woods. It seems to me that
2009 has been one of those special
years that come along once in a while.
The hickories, sumacs, sweetgums,
maples, and tulip trees have really
put on a show. Don’t say you haven’t
noticed; where were you looking?
Even with all the beauty, I have to
recall that East Texas is not in the
picture with the northeast. We lived in
western Connecticut for eight years,
right in the heart of the fabulous
foliage. What makes the difference?
That’s easy – it’s the sugar maples.
They don’t grow well in the south, but
dominate the deciduous forests of the
northeast. And their exuberant display
of fall foliage simple defies description (but I’m gonna try it anyway!).
The colors range from brightest gold
down through all shades of red, even
with a few mauves and fuchsias. I
well remember driving down the main
street of Ridgefield, lined with maples
in brilliant yellow-gold coloring. The
sun was out, and the whole interior
of the car was suffused with golden
light.
One reason that the northeastern
autumns are more spectacular than
ours is that all the trees come into
their brilliant plumage at about the
same time. The sharp demarcation of
seasons seems to cause this sudden
transition. Our forests don’t experience that abruptness. Their colorizing
time is always spread over two months
or more, first the sumacs, tallows, and
dogwoods, then the maples, black
gums, and tulip trees, and finally the
hickories and sweetgums.
Perhaps it’s just as well. The northeast
leaf season is spectacular but brief. A
sizeable tourist industry is built around
the fall foliage tours. But sometimes
the weather does not cooperate. Foliage time may come early or late,
or sometimes with disappointing
intensity. When such things happen,
the tourism-based businesses take a
beating, with nobody to blame but
God!
Why do the leaves change color?
I’ve heard brain-trusters maundering
about what happens to the sugars
and starches and such, but I’ve never
known of anyone who could explain
how these chemical changes create
such variegated flamboyance. The
big-bang evolutionists are even more
inclined to change the subject; there’s
just no way that red and yellow maple
leaves could contribute to survival
of the fittest. But all this controversy
doesn’t bother God a bit. He did it on
purpose, because beauty and variety
are part of his grand plan. And I need
no further explanation.
Different parts of the world are variously favored by fall colors, but I have
to believe that
the northeastern U.S.A. and
adjacent Canadian forests
hold the championship. The
U.S.A. seems
to be excepProfessions
tionally rich in
the variety of

The sugar maRust
ples grow well
as far west as
Michigan, and as far south as Tennessee and Kentucky. They can grow even
further south. My grandmother pulled
up a sugar maple sprout from Andrew
Jackson’s estate in Tennessee, the
Hermitage. She kept it moist until they
got home, and replanted it in the front
yard of their new home in northeast
Louisiana, in 1936. It flourished, and
in time turned out to be one of the truly
awe-inspiring trees. In fall it changes to
a solid blaze of scarlet, so eye-catching
that cars stop on the road so people can
admire it.
In this part of the world, my favorites
are the sweetgums and the tulip trees.
Sweetgums are almost as variegated
in their coloring as the maples, though
they don’t attain the brilliant reds and
yellows. Tulip trees (not the Japanese
magnolias that are sometimes called
by that name!) have the peculiar and
appealing trait of changing color in
patches. At their peak, their green
backgrounds will be polka-dotted with
brilliant yellows, very attractive. These
native American trees are beautiful the
year round, but not very common.
Folks in the Rockies have to make do
with aspens, which take on a beautiful
golden yellow, but all pretty much the
same. Further west, there is even less
variety. Most of the forests are evergreen, and don’t change color at all.
Many an attempt has been made by
artists and photographers to capture the
beauty of fall foliage, but they just can’t
put that three-dimensional surrounding
splendor on a flat surface. And it’s just
as well. We would soon get bored if we
had it with us all the time, on demand.

DSHS: H1N1 Vaccine Providers to
target Priority Groups...from Pg. 1A
of age.
The priority groups are:
Pregnant women
People 6 months through 24
years of age
People 25 through 64 years
of age with high-risk health
conditions
Health care workers who provide direct patient care
Close contacts of infants 6
months or younger
These groups were established
to help protect those most at
risk. Providers continue to have
the responsibility to determine
WATT’S IT TO YOU?
who should be vaccinated and
whether priority groups have
been adequately served in their
practices and communities.
People in the priority groups
should check with their usual
health care provider about vaccine availability or use the flu
vaccine locator service now
available on TexasFlu.org to
find vaccine. The flu locator listing will be updated and
expanded to include pharmacies and other providers as more
vaccine becomes available.
Due to an initial limited national supply of the vaccine,
DSHS has been using a targeted
approach to vaccine distribution. In early October, Texas
received its first shipments of
the H1N1 vaccine and provided
those initial doses to doctors
serving 2- and 3-year-olds
and pregnant women. Since
then, DSHS has periodically
expanded the target groups
as vaccine supplies increased
nationally.

Taking steps to save energy can
save you as much as 30 percent
on your annual electric costs. But
conserving is more than money in
your pocket. It’s money in everyone’s
pocket and could mean lower costs
overall down the line.
In fact, if every U.S. household
re p l a c e d j u s t o n e i n c a n d e s c e n t
b u l b w i t h a c o m p a c t f l u o re s c e n t
light bulb (CFL), it’s estimated that
enough energy would be saved to
light seven million homes and save
$600 million in utility bills. Decreased
demand will lead to reduced energy
rates and lessen the need to build
power plants. Good news for today
and generations to come.

Tough Love
...by Bethany Williams
Who exactly did Jesus mean when He
said we were to love our neighbors as
ourselves? As we maneuver crowded
holiday schedules with high expectations and tight pocket books, it’s hard
enough to love our family well. This
whole loving our neighbor thing in
addition is pretty tough! Yet, some of
us do an especially good job of loving
our neighbor this season. We donate
to the local food bank, give an extra
offering to the church, adopt an Angel,
and donate clothes for the needy. These
are wonderful ways to honor the Christ
Child as He comes. Could we also grow
in new ways of love this season?
Finding the information too difficult,
I’ve often put down the articles, turned
off the news, and refused to listen to
hard topics: war, conflict, oppression,
injustice. After all, in ages past, people
had only to deal with the concerns of
the region in which they lived, not
the troubles of the whole world. This
excuse has worked for me for a long
time. And these organic tree hugging
people! Waste, chemicals, pesticides,
VOCs, off-gassing. They just keep
coming up with more things for us
to worry about. Then there’s the fair
trade issue! If one coffee is labeled
fair trade, does this mean most coffee
reaches our stores after manufacturers
did not pay coffee growers a fair living
wage or did not treat them decently?
If we have such a thing now as slavefree chocolate, does this mean that
other chocolate has come to the store
tainted by the use of slaves? It’s just
too much to bear!
Ignorance is truly bliss. I honestly
did like it better when I didn’t know. I
don’t want to have to worry about
any of these things. But here lies the
rub. Jesus told me to love my neighbors
as myself. As much as I do not want
the burden, I do live in a world where
my purchases, my votes, my activities
truly do affect many, many unseen
neighbors the world over. And Jesus
loves them, and therefore, so should
I. He does not only call me to love
them with emotions and well-wishes,
a sad face when I hear a story and then
go on about my business. This would
be, as my pastor pointed out recently, a
misunderstanding of what my business
is. Jesus calls me to love them with
my mind, my research, my actions,
my purchases, my votes, my letters
to my representatives, my awareness
of current issues. And He calls me to
love them as I pray for God’s kingdom
on earth as it is in heaven. A christian
author recently wrote that we have so
many unbelieving activists and inactive believers. Ouch! May we not be
inactive believers!
I’ve just read a fantastic new book,
Everyday Justice by Julie Clawson,
that helps me understand how I can
make some everyday lifestyle choices
that can actually work toward justice
in our world. Clawson gives wonderful tips without leaving her readers
overwhelmed.
So this year, I’m working to show
a little more love. Even though I’ve
recently said I could not afford fair
trade coffee, I now believe that I cannot
afford to not buy fair trade coffee. I now picture my neighbors behind the
coffee, and realize that with my dollars,
I can fight for justice for them. Coffee
is obviously not it. But my purchases of
fair trade coffee help me work toward a
more just lifestyle. Would you believe,
my daughter may even be getting a fair
trade soccer ball for Christmas! Let’s take it one step further as we
truly seek “peace on earth and goodwill
toward men”! It’s tough to love, but Jesus never said
it would be easy.
The Greek word attributed to Baptizer could
also be the Dipper. Evidently, John’s baptism
was of total immersion. Remember, in the
Gospel account it says “when Jesus came up out
of the water….”, so it is evident that immersion
was John’s method.
Of course, John’s baptism was not the same as
what we practice as Christian baptism. It was
a baptism of repentance that had overtones of
ritual purity in the Hebrew tradition.
One thing about the Gospel accounts of John
that has always intrigued me is how he was able
to be so charismatic and attract huge throngs of
people to come for the baptism of repentance
while he was this wild man who wore animal
skins and probably didn’t comb his hair. And,
then, on top of his appearance, his message
was ferocious and not at all gentle. He called
the Pharisees a brood of vipers. He probably
wouldn’t make the list of candidates for a present day church issuing a call for a new pastor.
He must have been a compelling speaker to attract so many despite his appearance and nearly
hostile message.
He was the last in the long line of Hebrew
prophets. Our Muslim friends classify Jesus
as merely a prophet—but we know better than
that. John’s whole ministry and short life was
all about pointing to Jesus and preparing people
for the promised Messiah. I believe that my
favorite John the Baptist quote as attributed to
the evangelist John is where he pointed to Jesus
and said, “behold, the lamb of God.”
This attribution would have been understood
immediately by a Jewish audience. The perfect
lamb was considered the ideal sacrifice to God
in the temple. The idea of the scapegoat, where
a goat or lamb took on the sins of all the people
is ingrained in our culture still as a residual of
our Jewish heritage through the early church.
It was understood, but probably was confusing
to those hearing John the Baptist call Jesus the
lamb of God. They would have thought, “wait
if he is the Messiah, how can it be that he will
bear the sins of the people and die for them?”
Jesus’ life and death and resurrection became a
stumbling block to the Jews. We can sympathize
with their confusion. They had been expecting
a military/political Messiah, and not a gentle
teacher who spoke of God’s kingdom coming
to the earth through love and mercy.
We need to be thankful for John and all the
prophets who preceded him for calling God’s
children back to repentance and new life in
Christ Jesus.

Take McClure Rd,
(CR 2200) off Hwy. 69 just
North of Warren and travel
one and one half miles to CR
1240 and take a left. Just a
little ways down, turn right on
CR 1245 and you will dead end
at the welcoming windmill and
Tyler County’s newest Bed and
Breakfast. This brand new, one
room cabin is the first in a series of three cabins to be built
on the property of owners Greg
and Thelma Kirkpatrick of
Warren. This first cabin was
built by Kay Thornton Contractors of Woodville.
For $95 per night you
can sleep up to four people
comfortably in this cozy one
room cabin. The price includes
a Jacuzzi bath, fireplace, Dish
Network television and dvd
player, a fully stocked pond
with fishing poles and tackle,
and swimming in the pond or
underground pool located on
the property. Another outdoor
feature is picnic tables and a
fire pit. The Kirkpatricks encourage guests to feed the fish
and are planning to provide
fish food machines around the
pond.
Breakfast fixings of
juice, milk, coffee, cereal, pancake mix, butter, syrup and
fruit are included in the cabin’s
kitchen and a fully prepared
homestyle breakfast can be
added at an additional fee if requested.
“We are very proud of
the inside of this first cabin,”
said Thelma. “The vaulted
ceilings, wood floors and corrugated tin siding add a wonderful country charm.” According
to Kirkpatrick, the other two
cabins will be decorated with
different themes to make each
one unique.
Greg and Thelma were
married eleven years ago and it
has always been their dream to
build the cabins. “God worked
it out for us to get it started this
year and we are so excited,” she
said. “We also plan to build a
covered pavillion to be used for
outdoor parties and reunions.”
What sets Windmill
Farm B&B apart from the
other locations in the county,
is the fact that they are located
in the same neighborhood with
Phil McClure’s exotic animal
hunting lease. “We are working with Phil on package deals
so hunters can come spend the
weekend or a week on an exotic animal hunting trip right
here in Tyler County and stay
close by at Windmill,” Kirkpatrick said.
Not only is this arrangement good for Phil McClure and the Kirkpatricks, but
it is also an excellent addition
to tourism in Tyler County.
To book a cabin at The
Windmill Farm Bed and Breakfast or a hunting package, call
(409) 547-3433 or (409) 3770126.

Basketball Tournament Action
Splendora Tournament
Spurger vs Willis Varsity 2:30PM
A hunter’s first gun is one of the
most important things he will
ever receive in his life. A first gun
teaches a new hunter the first rule
of hunting; responsibility. With
this new-found responsibility
comes the desire to learn how
to shoot effectively, which will
produce memories that he will
carry with him for the rest of his
life. So this Christmas season,
think about a child, a teenager
or even an adult who is stepping
into the world of hunting and
consider giving him or her the gift
of their first “real” gun. Although
a gun is a great gift to give any
hunter, the world of firearms can
be confusing and complex. What
if you buy a rifle for your son but
he decides he enjoys shooting
skeet or birds more than deer?
What if you buy a shotgun and he
decides he is more of a squirrel or
rabbit hunter and want’s a center
fire rifle? There are so many possibilities for young hunters and
sometimes it’s hard to find one
single gun to accommodate every
style of hunting since a first time
hunter will more than likely want
to try his hand in many different
types of hunting. It’s expensive
and impractical to buy two or
three different guns for a novice
hunter, especially if you are not
sure he will even enjoy shooting
or begin to hunt regularly. So
this Christmas season, try looking into purchasing the Rossi
Trifecta for the young hunter in
your life. The special thing about
the Trifecta is that it is not just
one gun, it’s three guns in one.
The Rossi Trifecta has three interchangeable barrels that change
the gun from a .243 deer rifle to
a 20 gauge clay target or bird
gun and back again to a center
fire .22 for squirrels, rabbits or
just plain target shooting. Better
yet, Rossi is the world’s leading
manufacturer in youth sized long
rifles and you can be sure that the
Trifecta will be with your little
hunter for years to come. The gun
features a black synthetic stock
with a removable cheek piece.
Removing the cheek piece with
the 20 gauge barrel allows you
to use the Trifecta’s traditional
front-bead sighting component.
With the cheek piece in place,
the gun is perfect for using the
.22’s barrel fiber optic sight or
the .243 barrel with a scope. The
.243 barrel comes with a scope
mounted base just so that the
hunter can shoot deer from far
distances, without using the open
sights. This gun is small enough
and light enough that it can easily be carried by small hands. It
also comes in a handy case that
has room for all three barrels and
tools to change them out. When
you buy a young hunter this gun,
you can’t go wrong. Young kids
can start out shooting the quiet
.22, move up to the low recoil
.243 and then enjoy the fun of
shooting a 20 gauge without
ever having to switch guns. The
length, weight and feel of the gun
will be familiar and will make
shooting a “big gun” for the first
time less frightening and more
comfortable. The Rossi Trifecta
is also secure, and includes a
special key to lock the firearm
when it is not in use as well as
additional safety features made
with youth in mind. In 2007, the
Rossi Trifecta was named the
“Best Value” rifle by Field and
Stream’s “Best of the Best” gear
testing team. The team stated
that the little gun was “rugged,
simple and a great value.” This
Christmas season, give the new
hunter in your life the Rossi
Trifecta. With a Rossi Trifecta,
you will be giving him or her not
just the opportunity to own their
own gun, but a lifetime of fun and
memories in the field and that’s
Waldrep’s Word on it!”

Spurger Defeats Warren
44-23
Have you ever been to a game
where the score was not totally
indicative of the game? The
game between the Warren Warriors and the Spurger Pirates was
one of those games. Yes, the core
would indicate that the Pirates
won rather handily and it wasn’t
much of a contest but that would
not speak to the grittiness of the
Warrior players and their tenacity to not just give up and hand a
victory to the Pirates. The Pirates
undoubtedly did not play their
best game and this served as
a wakeup call to their tournament
action(see Pirates 3B).
Despite an early three-point
basket by the Pirate’s Shain
Rawls just thirty seconds into
the contest, it was Warren’s
Jacob Blackshear and Aaron
Harrington who set the tone early.
Harrington’s three-pointer tied
the game with a minute gone and
after two Blackshear free throws,
Harrington’s offensive rebound
and put back gave the Warriors
an 8-3 edge. Warren would
ultimately extend the lead to
12-5 before Jonathon Hutto’s
three got the Pirates to within
four. Tyler Greeson added to
Warren’s lead with just 1:15 to
play in the opening quarter. After
a Spurger miss, Warren got the
rebound and played for the last
shot. Just as the Warriors got
the matchup they wanted down
low, a three second violation was
whistled and the buzzer sounded
to end the first quarter with Warren ahead 14-8.
Spurger came out firing in the
second eight minutes of play.
George Whittaker hit a baseline
jumper for the Pirates with just
seventeen seconds gone in the
quarter. After a Warren miss,
Whittaker got another basket
down low to pull Spurger to
within two at 14-12. Then it was
Chase McGallion with a pretty
dish to Jarom Odom who tied the
game with a jumper at the top of
the key. Whittaker would add
a fastbreak lay-up and another
baseline jumper to the Spurger
repertoire before Daniel
Blankenship netted his first
points of the night. Jacob Blackshear stopped the bleeding with a
three-pointer pulling the Warriors
to within three at 20-17. Time
expired in the half as George
Whittaker’s three-quarter’s court
shot bounced off the back of the
iron leaving the score at 20-17.
The third quarter started off with
both teams failing to do much of
anything in the opening minutes
but then Blankenship got hot and
the Pirate defense turned up the
pressure. While the Pirates were

Autumn Murray leads the Warrior attack late in Saturday’s tournament action against Buna.
Warriors (cont)
Hamshire-Fannett 47
Warren
43 OT
The Lady Warriors came out
Thursday looking to make a
good showing and begin to build
some momentum for the district
play that begins on Friday. The
Lady Warriors despite losing in
overtime did not disappoint their
fans. Their effort was strong and
courageous. Here are some of
the highlights and lowlights of
Thursday’s loss. The Lady Warriors were nursing a 7 point lead
with 1:58 to play but five missed
free throws in the final two minutes gave Hamshire-Fannett the
opening they needed to get back
in the game. With :19 seconds
to play, the Lady Warriors had a
one point lead and following a
1-2 free throws the lead was two.
Hamshire-Fannett tied the game
with three seconds to play sending the game into overime. Foul
trouble cost the Warriors in overtime as Haley Unruh, Meagan
Foster, and Brandi Burnes each
fouled out and the rest as they
say is history. Cara Wisecup led
the Warriros with a strong effort
recording 14 points, 12 rebounds
and 5 blocks. Krystal Banks
chipped in 8 points in the losing
effort.
On Saturday, the Lady Warriors missed their first shot of the
game and it appeared it might be
downhill from there as the Buna
Lady Cougars jumped out to an
early 7-2 lead. Coach Sherri
Brocks squad appeared to rally
once Meagan Foster’s two free
throws got the Warriors on the
board. Foster also produced Warren’s next bucket when Brandi
Burnes drove the lane from the
right side and then just as everyone thought she was going
to lay it in, she made a beautiful
dish to Foster on the low post
and the score was suddenly 7-4.
The Warriors weren’t finsihed
though as Burnes connected on
1-2 free throws to close the gap
to 7-5. Autumn Murray got into
the action when she hit a short
jumper from the right wing and
Brandi Burnes basket brought
the Lady Warriors all the way
back as time expired in the first
quarter knotting the score at 9-9.
It was a quarter in which the Lady
Warriors showed great patience
and poise.
The second quarter action Meagan Foster grabbed an offensive
board off the miss by Murray and
put it back in giving the Warriors
their first lead of the day. Buna
would come
right back, first tying the game
and then taking the lead at 13-11.
Brandi Burnes would hit another
basket tying the game at 13 all
before the Warriors shooting
woes began. For the next 5:18,
the Lady Warriors would watch
their shots clang off the iron, roll
in and out and in general just
not fall. Meanwhile, the Lady
Cougars were steadily building
an eleven point cushion going
into halftime and it looked bleak
for the Warriors.
We may never know what words
Coach Broocks or maybe senior
guard Brandi Burnes had to say at
halftime but whatever it was the
Lady Warriors came out ready to
play. Foster started the second
half scoring when she stole the
ball and laid it in to cut the lead
to nine. Moments later, Burnes
missed a three from the corner
but there was Foster to gather in
the rebound and put it in making
the deficit only seven. With 2:36
showing on the third quarter
game clock, Murray hit a three
and Foster had another basket
down low and suddenly it was a
4 point game at 26-22. After a
Burnes free throw made it 26-23,
Buna hit two free throws of their
own to push the lead back to five.
A Burnes free throw and another
by Unruh made it 28-25 with 1:11
to play in the third. Krystal
Picture Of Perfection
High Flying Eagles Defeat Groveton, Liberty, Leggett,
& Big Sandy Enroute to a Perfect 9-0
Ranked number three in the latest state ranking, the Woodville
Lady Eagles put their perfect
season on the line four times this
past week and all four times came
away victorious. The victories
against Groveton, Liberty, Leggett and Big Sandy pushed the
Lady Eagles to a perfect 9-0.
The Groveton Lady Indians
were the first opponent to fall
by the wayside in basketball
competition that took place on
December 1st. In this game, the
Lady Eagles put together one of
their better performances of the
young season. Led by Meisha
Mcneal’s 20 point performance,
better free throw shooting and a
stingy defense, the Lady Eagles
did not have much trouble dispatching of Groveton 53-36.
Brooke Taylor netted 14 points
and Kayla Humphrey poured in
10 points to round a balanced
scoring attack. The Lady Eagles
also hit 9 of 12 free throws, a
much improved marker from
their earlier games.
On Thursday, the Lady Eagles
traveled west to Big Sandy to
showcase their talent in the Big
Sandy Basketball Tournament.
First up were the Liberty Lady
Panthers. By the time, the final
buzzer had sounded, the Eagles
were celebrating a 55-24 victory.
Once again it was consistent
scoring by McNeal, Taylor and
Quadena Moye and a stingy defense that sifled the Panthers to
single digits in all four quarters of
basketball. Leggett was the next
to fall 63-57. Balanced scoring
from McNeal (20), Samantha
Gilder (16), and Taylor with (13)
set the tone. The championship
game was no contest as the Eagles
took out host school, Big Sandy
58-28. Mcneal and Taylor again
led the Eagles scoring attack.
Banks was in the right place at
the right time when Buna missed
the front end of a one and one.
Her rebound and outlet to Burnes
resulted in another Buna foul
sending Burnes to the charity
stripe with :35 seconds to play.
Burnes calmly sank the free
throws and Warren was within
a point entering the final eight
minutes of play.
Buna would miss the first shot of
the fourth quarter but not Brandi
Burnes as her two pointer at 6:49
of the fourth gave the Lady Warriors a lead they would never give
back at 29-28. Twenty five seconds later, Banks was once again
in the right place at the right time
pulling in aFoster miss and laying
back in for a 31-28 Warren lead.
Things got testy at the 5:11 mark
when Buna’s coach was called for
a technical after arguing a foul.
Burnes sank 3-4 free throws and
then a lay-up at 4:48 giving the
Warriors a 36-30 lead. Now it
was time to play defense. Buna
could get nothing going against
the likes of Kelley and Banks
pressure defense. With :20 to play
Ciara Wisecup blocked a Buna
shot from close in and her outlet
pass led to a Brandi Burnes coast
to coast lay-up. The game ended
fittingly enough as it began with
the ball in the hands of Meagan
Foster and a 39-33 win.

Bulldogs Ambushed By
The Rebels 98-46
The Colmesneil Bulldogs were coming off a dramatic finish Tuesday night against Apple Springs and looking to make some noise
in the Evadale Basketball Classic. The Rebels had other thoughts.
Evadale scored the first bucket just twenty five seconds into the
game. Two minutes later it was 8-1 Evadale. Joseph Sheffield
would hit two free throws and combined with a Josh Glenn jumper
the Bulldogs were within three at 8-5. Evadale then stepped up
their pressure defense and no matter what the Bulldgs did, it didn’t
work out quite right. Whatever could go wrong for the “Dawgs”
did as Evadale ended the quarter on an 18-0 run to lead 26-5.The
Bulldogs behind Matt Greenwood, Joseph Sheffield, and Cullen
Barker refused to quit. A questionable flagrant foul on Sheffield
at 3:51 of the second quarter sealed the deal on the Colmesneil
squad for the first half. Too many turnovers and easy baskets led
the Rebels to a 48-26 halftime lead.
The third quarter started and ended much like the first half. Greenwood, Barker, Glenn and Rowdy Brown would net points in the
third butit wasn’t enough offense to keep up with Evadale as they
pushed their lead to 73-39.
Josh Glenn got the Bulldogs on the board to start the fourth quarter
on a good note, but then Brandon Cowart was called for Colmesneil’s
second flagrant foul of the game slowing any energy the Bulldogs
had going. Wayne Byley chipped in a basket midway through the
quarter making the score 81-43 but Evadale came right back as
they had all night scoring one unanswered bucket after another.
For nearly three minutes the Bulldog offense went scoreless while
Evadale rolled in 12 points. Greenwood came alive at 1:48 3 of 4
free throws to close out the Colmesneil scoring. Evadale tried to
crack the century mark but was unable to as time expired leaving
the final score 98-46.
Pirates Drown the “Dawgs”
89-66
Snow cancelled Friday’s games for the Evadale Basketball Classic
leaving the Colmesneil Bulldogs to play the Deweyville Pirates in a
revamped schedule on Saturday morning. The Bulldog fans were
hoping for better things then they had witnessed here on Thursday
evening as their beloved Bulldogs fell to host Evadale.
First quarter woes for the Bulldogs continued against
Deweyville. Once again it was poor shooting and pressure defense
that put Colmesneil into a hole from which they could not dig out.
The Bulldogs opened by falling victim to a 19-0 run before Joseph
Sheffield’s jumper in the lane got Colmesneil on the board with 2:47
left in the first quarter. Rowdy Brown’s lay-in at the buzzer pulled
the Bulldogs to within eleven a 23-12.
In the second quarter the Bulldogs played much more consistently.
Sheffield, Brown and Barker tried to keep the Bulldogs close. Barker
had 8 points in the quarter and his half court three as time expired
bounced on the rim would have pulled Colmesneil a tad closer. As it
was the Bulldogs trailed 44-30 going into the break.
The third quarter, Deweyville was able to get a lot of baskets inside
and draw the foul. Less than three minutes into the quarter, the Pirates
fund themselves in the bonus early and often converting , building a
59-34 lead before Barker stopped the bleeding. One of the highlights of
the quarter came with :38 to play when Sheffield blocked a Deweyville
shot, corralled the ball and drove the length of the floor before being
fouled. The quarter ended with the Bulldogs down 65-47.
As the final eight minutes began, the Bulldogs drew first blood when
Cowart grabbed the offensive board and laid it back in.Once again this
would be for the Bulldogs a long quarter but it was also one in which

in the third quarter, the Warriors
could only net a basket and trailed
31-19 with only eight minutes Pirates (cont)
to play.

Are you tired of how consumerism has
stolen the soul of Christmas?
This year, take a stand! Join the groundswell of Christ-followers who are choosing
to make Christmas what it should be - a joyous celebration of Jesus’ birth that enriches
our hearts and the world around us, not a retail circus that depletes our pocketbooks
and defeats our spirits. Advent Conspiracy (www.adventconspiracy.org) shows
you how to subsitute consumption with compassion by practicing four simple
but powerful countercultural concepts:
Worship Fully • Spend Less • Give More • Love All

the request must designate the
group’s representative for receiving future correspondence;
identify an individual member
of the group who would be
adversely affected by the proposed facility or activity; provide the information discussed
above regarding the affected
member’s location and distance
from the facility or activity; explain how and why the member
would be affected; and explain
how the interests the group
seeks to protect are relevant to
the group’s purpose.
Following the close of all applicable comment and request
periods, the Executive Director will forward the application
and any requests for reconsideration or for a contested case
hearing to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration
at a scheduled Commission
meeting.
The Commission will only
grant a contested case hearing
on disputed issues of fact that
are relevant and material to the
Commission’s decision on the
application. Further, the Commission will only grant a hearing on issues that were raised in
timely filed comments that were
not subsequently withdrawn.
MAILING LIST. If you submit public comments, a request
for a contested case hearing or a
reconsideration of the Executive
Director’s decision, you will be
added to the mailing list for this
