Inside Story
Serving The People Of Tyler County For 82 Years Thursday, May 28, 2009—Vol. 83, No. 21 Inside Story Senate Bill Would Put Brakes On TxDOT’s Toll Road Promoting AUSTIN—The Texas House tentatively approved HB 2142, legislation to prevent the Texas Department of Transportation from promoting toll roads. Now the bill, by Rep. Ruth Jones McClendon, D-San Antonio, moves to the Senate for consideration. An identical bill, SB 384 by Sen. John Carona, R-Dallas, gained Senate approval and has moved to the House for consideration. Either bill, if passed, would put a clamp on TxDOT’s Ed Sterling practice of using various means to influence public opinion in favor of toll road construction. Under the legislation, TxDOT no longer would be authorized to engage in marketing, advertising, or other activities for the purpose of influencing public opinion about the use of toll roads or the use of tolls as a financial mechanism. “TxDOT needs to be committed to the goals of the public, not just promoting its own goals,” McClendon said. TxDOT would continue to have the authority to conduct marketing and advertising activities to inform the public in regard to the status of pending and ongoing toll projects. WWW.EASTTEXASNEWS.COM Scout Project benefits Woodville Cemetery Local Boy Scout Nick Whigham was looking for a project toward his Eagle Scout badge and the Tyler County Historical Commission’s Sandra Hargrove had just the project. Magnolia Cemetery in Woodville had been hit hard by recent storms, so Nick organized a team to take care of the cleanup. According to Hargrove though, the guys went way beyond just a cleanup. They repaired things that were broken, righted headstones that had fallen over, cleaned headstones and cleared out overgrown areas in the oldest part of the Cemetery. The cemetery holds a lot of Tyler County History. Thanks for the hard work and community spirit!

This night they would face the Lions of Lovelady in the beginning of a best of 3 series. The winner is one step closer to a state title and the loser goes home till next season. For the baseball purist the weekend’s games would prove to be a nightmare. However, for those who enjoy a game filled with lots of scoring then Hudson, Texas was the place to be.

New Mail Scam targeting Senior Citizens by Sgt. Mike McCulley Woodville Police Department Recently I was compelled to talk to the readers about the latest Mail Scam that is circulating in our area. Most of you have had the constant problems of the getting all of the (Junk) mail from these Sweepstakes Entries. You know the drill, (“Congratulations you have won 2 Million Dollars”) All you have to do is send in a few hundred dollars to take care of the taxes and processing. Unfortunately this scam has come close to home for a lot of our readers. These Sweepstakes Scams have been doing this for years. Some will even send you a check in the mail to pay for all those taxes and processing. Then they will tell you to deposit that check in your checking or saving account, then send them a Cashiers Check or Money Order for that requested amount. Of course, what happens when your bank contacts you days later and tells you that the check you deposited into your account was a Counterfeit or Fake. There goes your money forever! Well, now these people are changing their tactics a little, probably because of the economy, who knows! But they are constantly after your hard earned money. They mail you these notices and they use several different names. Unclaimed Prizes Unlimited, Award Prizes, Clearing House Publishers, you know, you have seen them for years. Now they are just asking you for a little money, amounts such as, $21.99, $24.99, $20.00 etc. Their scheme now is to mail you several different Prize Notifications from several different states and or addresses, advising you that you have won lots of money. Then asking you to pay the small processing fee and then your rich! This is where it happens; You send them a CHECK for the 20 or so dollars, and they got you! They have just obtained your banking information and look out!

According to manager Tracy Powell, someone noticed what looked like a shirt floating on the water, which turned out the child. Two year old Colton Blake fell into the water on the lake opposite the swimming area (swimming is not allowed on that side of the lake). When they realized it was a child, things got hectic as several people headed for the spot. Fifteen year old Glenna Prather was first to the scene and went into the water after the child. And then handed him out to Powell, who started CPR and her husband, who had already called 911. An unidentified EMT and a nurse who happened to be there assisted until the Emergency Medical Technicians who had been called arrived at the scene and took over. Colton was life flighted to Herman Hospital in Houston who said the quick response and CPR saved the child’s life. Powell said she was thankful the incident had a happy ending. “It was the combined efforts of a number of people that day that prevented this from becoming a tragedy,” Powell said. Lake Tejas is a popular summer destination for Tyler County residents. House Pig—If you’ve noticed a very small pig on a leash around town lately, it’s not hallucinations from too much coffee!

No, I’m not from Missouri, nor do I think of myself as a skeptic. However, I guess I do have a smidgen of the Doubting Thomas attitude about me. Any time you want to tell me something new and different, I’d rather see a demonstration. If I can’t see one, I’m likely to try it myself! Take shingle splitting for example. When we moved here in 1994, splitting shingles was an established part of the Heritage Village demonstration tour. Ewel Wood was doing it, but a couple years after we arrived, he died. Somebody asked me if I would consider filling in for him. And even though I had never split a shingle, nor even seen it done, I agreed to give it a shot. The closest I had come to this disappearing art was a Little Orphan Annie comic strip, from somewhere along the ‘30’s. Annie had occasion to split shingles for her patron, Daddy Warbucks, and she introduced me to the froe, the special tool used for the job. Figuring that if the little redhead could do it, it couldn’t be that impossible, I tried it. As it turned out, it wasn’t. The hard part, I discovered, was to fill up a fifteen-minute demonstration slot! Splitting a shingle takes all of fifteen seconds, and when you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all. Over the years I was able to fill in the gaps with chatter about different kinds of wood, what we mean by the “grain” of wood, how the shingles are finished and put together on a roof, and why hand-split shingle roofs are actually better in some ways. I built a shingle-horse to hold the work in place while I smoothed it down with a drawknife. I even made a model to show how shingles go together to make a roof. Of late I’ve tried to keep the focus of my spiel on a unique feature of Village demonstrations: going from raw material to finished product right before their eyes. It occurred to me that very few kids of today ever get to see such a thing. They don’t even seem to wonder where things come from; or just take it for granted that the artifacts they use will magically appear in WalMart or wherever. They have some notion that fruit and vegetables are products from the soil, and that animals have to be slaughtered for meat. But very few of the pre-highschoolers seem to connect sheep, cotton plants, and/or petroleum with the clothing they wear, or iron ore with implements, - - or trees with shingles. It is little wonder that they are amazed at such revelations. I confess to a renewed astonishment myself, any time I see the ladies spinning thread, or the weavers making cloth. Candle-making is a bit easier to grasp, but blacksmithing and rope making have to be seen to be believed. Professions I sometimes do simple By blacksmithDavid ing demos, Rust but I have to confess that I know just enough of the art to stand in awe at those who have mastered it. When I think of the old-time smiths who made fine rifles and swords by hand, I have to marvel. We don’t do rope-making or potthrowing demos any more. But they are not as simple as they seem. Jim Boone’s rope-making show used to be a prime feature of the school tours. He had a gift for drawing the kids into the action, and always gave each group a sample of the rope they had helped to make. But few of the kids ever grasped that twisting rope together so that it stays twisted is not a self-evident process. You have to twist each strand as you go, then let them “unwind” as they are twisted together in the opposite direction. We have sometimes had bodger demos at the various festivals. These specialists showed us how cylindrical wooden articles were made using pole lathes. In these, a lathe frame holds the workpiece between two pivots. A cord is wrapped around the workpiece. One end of the cord is attached to a spring pole above the lathe, the other end to a foot pedal. The cuts can only be made on the down stroke, but very fine work can be done. I once made a pole lathe, and tried it out a few times. But I’m not ready to go into production! It is a comforting thought to me that the pioneers were not able or required to master every one of the various arts we demonstrate. Neighbors depended on one another back then. One may have been a skilled blacksmith, another a weaver, leather worker, or well driller. They were able to give or receive help as needed. And what’s the matter with that?

At a lot of home games, my son can be found sitting in the front row as close to the on deck circle as he can get. Occasionally, Riley peers around the corner into the dugout to catch a glimpse of number eleven. The first step in this process was to have two Braeden Riley replica jersey’s made for my son. This was followed by Riley throwing out the first pitch to number eleven, meeting Braeden’s parents, winning Braeden’s undershirt in a drawing, driving to A&M to watch his favorite player and finally meeting Braeden. The ordinary fan would not know that Braeden pitched in High School, once wore number thirteen and is currently number one in the nation in hits. Riley’s favorite web site is now NCAA.com because it allows him to keep track of his favorite player. Thank you Braeden Riley for being an athlete and a person my son can look up to. Mr. and Mrs. Riley, I say job well done. I hope my son grows up as well rounded as yours. Oh, and the best part, Riley has two more years to watch his hero!

Colmesneil First Baptist Virginia Baker is Sunday School Teacher of the Month “This has been the greatest blessing in my life along with my husband and my church” said Virginia Baker, of her “Gleaners” Sunday School Class at First Baptist Church in Colmesneil. Nominated as “Teacher of the Month” by one of her students, Jewel Taylor, Virginia says she was called by God into this ministry. “I wouldn’t be teaching if God hadn’t called,” she says. In fact, her student Jewel, “Has talked Virginia’s into” giving her the actual notes she dutifully prepares before for each class. Jewel wanted them to review for her own weekly study. Virginia says, “Sunday School is the core of the church.” Regarding her Gleaner’s Class which is made up of about 1520 senior ladies in the church, “They have taught me love. It Virginia Baker is a close knit group, they take care of each other. It is a loving caring class. “I don’t want them to ever think it’s just me...they have taught me Bishop Curtis J.

She’s been involved ever since... all my life changing to adult teaching when she was asked by FBC Comesneil’s Pastor David Miller in 2001, who asked her “to pray about” the change from children’s to adult teaching. She said “Yes” to God’s call for her. The Gleaner’s Class gets it’s name from the Bible in Deuteronomy 24:19 --“When you reap your harvest in your field and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it; it shall be left for the migrant, the orphan and the widow, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all your undertakings.” In ancient, biblical times, gleaning meant to look for some left-over or missed produce. Landowners were mandated by law to ensure that sufficient un-harvested food was left, to enable the poor, the migrant and the orphaned to survive. According to Pastor Terry Stockman when asked what Virginia’s “value” to the Church was “in-a-word”, he said without hesitating “invaluable.” Virginia is also the FBC Colmesneil Church secretary. for some 17 years. She is married to Harry Baker, “the love of her life” and met him singing in the choir together at North End Baptist Church in Port Arthur. The couple moved to Colmesneil in 1984 after Harry retired from Texaco. The couple was lovingly referred to as “Roy and Dale Evans” for their singing together in the choir. “Harry is gifted as an “ intercessory prayer man” and works in prison ministry and closely with the heart of First Baptist Church in Colmesneil. The couple is carrying out the purpose of FBC Colmesneil in “Loving God, Loving others and Serving the world.” VBS at Bethel Baptist will be a ‘Croc Rock’ It’s almost time for Vacation Bible School and at Bethel Baptist Church in Warren, things will be rocking at “Crocodile Dock”! The excitement begins at 6 p.m. each Monday through Friday, June 15-19. But like all fun things, it has to end… and it will at 8:45 each of those nights. There will be amazing Bible adventures, cool crafts, great games, awesome music and snacks you can sink your teeth into! Kids will experience new thrills as Chadder Chipmonk leads them to the Kokeybad-kokey Swamp in search of story on the legend of the Monster Croc for his school paper. But it is really just a legend? Or is there a real, live Monster Croc? They’ll find out as they journey with Chadder and his buddy Fraider through the lazy, hazy waters off Crocodile Dock. During the nightly Bible story time, they’ll experience “God Sightings” that will bring the stories to life and they’ll get Bible Memory Buddies to help keep the story alive. VBS is only three weeks away, so we wanted all children from the 3 year olds to kids up to grade six to start getting ready for unique adventure with Jacques le Crock and Chadder Chipmonk… June 15 through the 19th at Bethel Baptist Church in Warren. Jesus tells us in John 15 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” In Barnabas Lindar’s commentary on John, he writes “John has certainly grasped the point that the internal life of the church and its mission to the world are inseparable.” What that means is that if we cannot even demonstrate unqualified love for our friends and neighbors, who can we be effective in taking the Gospel out into the larger world? This failure to love one another has been going on in the church since the very beginning. If you study scripture, you can find evidence in Paul’s letters, in the Acts of the Apostles, and in the letters of John, James and Peter. Furthermore, if you read church history, the pages are full of people disappointing the Lord Jesus and not really loving one another—thus making a poor witness of Christ’s love for the world. In our day, I think about the televangelist scandals where it comes to light that some TV pastor has enriched himself at the expense of the poor who support him by mailed in checks—a fleecing of the flock, so to speak. I believe this inability to love one another, and thus accede to the Lord’s commandment to us, can be traced to that part of human nature that makes it hard for us to submit to anyone else. If you think about it, the only way to fully live the Christian life is to unreservedly and completely submit to the Lord Jesus—for him to become the actual center of our life. Where that becomes dicey for most of us, is that we really would like to keep just a little piece of ourselves on the throne. If we push Jesus off the throne and put ourselves in the middle, he will accept that as our free choice, but it will grieve him, nonetheless. How we love one another is a The Rev. Stephen Secaur, direct reflection of how obedient we are to Almighty God. In the reading from 1 John for last Sunday (1 John 5:1-6), we get this:”for the love of God is this:that we obey his commandments.” He doesn’t say it is an option or a suggestion that we truly have love for one another, it is a commandment. This means even for someone we don’t like or who does something we don’t like. It would be foolish to believe we are ever going to agree on everything, but I do believe that trying harder to love one another meets the Grace of God to empower us, that we will be more effective Christians in this world which is so desperate for some Good News.

Christ the royal Master, leads against the foe; forward into battle, see his banners go. At the sign of triumph Satan’s words doeth flee; on then, Christian soldiers, on to victory.

Tyler County 10’s take third in 38 The Tyler County Tantrum, a 10 & Under All-Star team, traveled to Nacogdoches this past weekend and finished third in a 12-team bracket at the 2009 Texas ASA District 38 Championship Tournament. Their finish marked the fourth straight year a Tyler County team has finished in the top three places in the annual event. The Tantrum roster was composed of girls selected from the local league’s six 10 & Under teams and making the trip were Karlea Belsey, Haleigh Belt, Haley Briers, Emily Cloud, Sabryn Costellow, Hannah Graham, Krista Harris, Shelby Mixon, Victoria Scoggins, Bailey Stewart, Keyara Williams, and Shawnacey Williams. Coaches for the team were Chris Hammons, Lyle Rainey and Tyson Cloud. The Tantrum won a pool or practice game late Saturday morning before taking on the Nacogdoches Vibe in their first bracket contest. The team won the opener and cruised through their next games with wins over the Hudson Lady Outlaws and the Brookeland Burnt Orange on Sunday. The win over Brookeland put the team up against the experienced Huntington Heartbreakers and the Heartbreakers prevailed, sending the Tantrum to the loser’s bracket for the first time in the double elimination format. With only one loss, the Tantrum faced the Nacogdoches Fury another one-loss team that had gone down to the Heartbreakers as well. Down early, the Tantrum rallied late but ran out of time and the Fury advanced to the championship game. “Overall, I’m proud of the girls, they played hard and really did a great job against some very strong teams,” said coach Chris Hammons. “This was a new experience for almost our entire team and they handled it well. Finishing with back to back losses hurts some but they all have lots of reasons to hold their heads high, finishing third in district is pretty special.” Playing in their first ever post-season competition, the Xtreme (Tyler County’s 8 & Under All-Stars) were impressive, winning two games in the double elimination event before falling to the eventual champion of the 2009 Texas ASA District 38 championship softball tournament in Nacogdoches last weekend. “I’m sure the girls would have liked to advance further but they played well against some strong competition,” said Xtreme coach Brett Smith. “We were one of fifteen teams and there were quite a few that had tournament experience. Taking everything into consideration, we did well and I’m proud of the girls for representing our communities the way they did.” The Xtreme roster was comprised of Desiree Hallo, Kayla Merchant, Kaitlyn Odom, Sidney Smith, Lainey Spradlin, Riley Vaughn, Abby Villa, Leah White, Shannon Whitehead, Eveona Williams, and Shayla Williams. Assisting Smith were coaches Trevor Odom and Andrew Hallo. The Xtreme lost their tournament opener on Saturday to the Lufkin Crush, who would later face the Hudson Stingers in the championship game on Sunday. Forced to play late on Saturday in their next game, the Xtreme rallied to stay alive with a win over the Short Hops. Advancing to Sunday action, the Xtreme came out swinging and defeated Zavalla with a 15-0 run-rule win after 3 innings. In their next game, they faced the Stingers and the Hudson team proved to be strong and experienced as they handed the Xtreme their second loss. “This was a good experience for all our girls,” added Smith. “We played well enough to get to Sunday when a lot of teams didn’t and I hope that they are as proud of what they did as I am.” Basketball camp set for June 22-25 The annual Little Eagles Basketball Camp will be held this year from June 22-25 at the Woodville Summit.

This night they would face the Lions of Lovelady in the beginning of a best of 3 series. The winner is one step closer to a state title and the loser goes home till next season. For the baseball purist the weekend’s games would prove to be a nightmare. However, for those who enjoy a game filled with lots of scoring then Hudson, Texas was the place to be. “Pitching”, as assistant coach Josh Meeker described it as, “what kept us in the game. We committed too many errors but fortunately our bats came through for us tonight.” Paced by a 16 hit attack, the Yellowjackets prevailed with a 9-8 victory and a 1-0 lead in the series. Friday May 22, 2009 The slugfest continued on Friday night only this time Lady Luck wasn’t on Chester’s side. They had no answer for the ferocious pounding of Lovelady. The Lions pounced early and often and so did the hot bats of Chester, both teams dealing in double digit runs, but this time it was Lovelady evening the series at one game apiece with a 15 -10 victory. In the rubber match of the series, Lovelady simply continued to hit Chester pitching until it dealt their season a knockout blow with a 22-8 victory. It was a season of fantastic baseball for the Yellowjackets considering the work and effort that has taken a team who could barely win a game two seasons ago to a team of district champions and regional semifinalists. Although the team will lose a number of seniors, it has a solid group of returning diamond stars, and the future looks bright for another run next season. Dream ends in Central Tuesday May 19, 2009 On the road again is not only a popular Willie Nelson tune but the saga of the Warren Ladies softball team. Dubbed the “Road Warriors”, they traveled first to Willis High School this past week and dispatched Centerville High School from the state softball tournament. Led by strong pitching, steady fielding and two RBI each from Brandi Burns and Chelsea Walters, Warren moved on to the regional semifinal series with a 4-2 victory while Elysian Fields, their next opponent, was sending Kildare home by a count of 6-0. Friday May 22, 2009 Great weather, a gentle breeze and a packed stadium welcomed the first pitch at 6:27PM between the Elysian FieldsYellow Jackets and the “Road Warriors” of Warren. Elysian Fields (30-9) came into the game averaging 6.6 runs per game in their last 19 appearances while allowing only 1 run per game. Warren fell behind early thanks in large part to poor fielding however they kept their heads up and in the fourth Brandi Burns singled and two batters later Hayley Unruh delivered a 2 out RBI single to put Warren on the board.They added another in the seventh when Madalyn Fry reached on a fielding error and senior Kat Sisk doubled her home but it was too little too late. Warren fell 5-2 in game one. Saturday May 23, 2009 This game became the game everyone from Warren was expecting on Friday night. In fact were it not for the miscues on Friday, Warren very well could have been up one game to none instead of down. The Warriors rebounded from Friday’s loss and showed the heart and soul of a champion taking Elysian Fields into extra innings before losing 3-2. Without a home field to either practice on or call their own this group of young ladies behind the strength of their seniors Chelsea Walters and “Kat” Sisk rose to heights that no one dreamed possible. Coach Kehtel and Coach Brown, though they refuse the credit were the glue that kept the team together. Another fine season in a long tradition of success, District 23-AAchampions and 2009 regional semifinalists. Just three short seasons ago, Braeden Riley played baseball for the Woodville Eagles. A 3 time All-District and All State selection, Braeden parlayed a stellar high school career into an invitation to become part of a baseball winning tradition at Sam Houston State University. Since his arrival in Huntsville, Braeden has become a consistent asset to the BearKats team. As a true freshman, he hit just .244 in 34 games however whenever you talk about a top flight athlete, the subject of their work ethic is sure to come up and Braeden Riley is no exception. Head Coach Mark Johnson says that one of the biggest differences in Braeden’s improvement this season was his willingness to get in the weight room and work hard in the off season. The 25 extra pounds of muscle Braeden now displays has been part of the reason for his improved consistency both in the field and at the plate. On the field Riley has become a top notch pivot man on the double play and his fielding percentage of .979 leaves little room for error. As a switch hitter, Braeden gives the BearKats some much needed flexibility at the top of the lineup. He has started all 58 games this season posting a .390 batting average, good for second best on the team. He, also, ranks second in total bases with 133, multi-hit games with 36 and third with a slugging percentage of .480. He boasts a team best 16 game hit streak as well. In conference play, his numbers get even better. A batting average of .404, an on base percentage of .428 and a slugging percentage of .457 put him solidly among the team leaders. His passion for the game according to his coaches is contagious among his teammates and as Sam Houston State moves into the meat of their conference schedule, the slick fielding, dependable hitting of Braeden Riley will be instrumental in their success. With head coach Mark Johnson, the 17th winningest coach in NCAA Div 1 history (989 victories and counting)at the helm and Braeden Riley manning the second base bag, Sam Houston State’s reign as defending Southland Conference Tournament Champions may continue for a very long time. In fact, since Coach Johnson arrived on campus three seasons ago, the BearKats have won the Southland Conference tournament for three consecutive seasons causing some to joke that it should be renamed the “Coach Mark Johnson Post-season Invitational. This week Braeden Riley who led the nation in hits for the majority of 2009 enroute to setting a new Sam Houston State record and becoming the all time single season hit king with 108 for the SouthLand Conference was named a 1st Team All-Southland Conference member. Who knows in the not too distant future we may be seeing Braeden Riley following in the paths of former Sam Houston State standouts Glenn Wilson(Houston Astros), Fred Beene (New York Yankees) and Ken Boswell(New York Mets)as a major league ballplayer. How cool would that be? Want to see Braeden Riley in action, the Sam Houston bearcats will face the Rice Owls (whom they lost to 3-2 in last seasons NCAA opener). Tickets for the 6 p.m. tilt on Friday May 29, 2009 are on sale now at RiceOwls.com or by calling (713)522-OWLS.
