We’re still working to
confirm more contestants,”
Waites said.
This year ’s bee is
focused on fun and
fundraising – and that means
Rotarians hope to raise lots of
dough through their silent and
live auctions.
A few of the items are
quite unique, including a T-
shirt signed by New Orleans
Saints receiver Reggie Bush.
Waites obtained the shirt
during a business conference
in Washington, D.C., in
February where Reggie Bush
was signing autographs.
Rotarian Jim Horne’s
daughter Debbie Mayfield
framed the shirt and it will be
among dozens of items
available on the auction
tables.
Another sports great

featured. Drew Stubbs, who
began his baseball career at
Atlanta High School, continued
at the University of Texas and

the Cincinnati Reds, signed a
poster print of his first home run.
There is also a baseball

In addition to the
numerous auction items,
each Rotarian will donate a
homemade cake or dessert
to be auctioned to the

With the exception of one

Charles Robison, the incumbent,
for the Precinct 4 justice of the
peace seat in November as both
were uncontested in their
respective primaries.
The Journal will post
additional vote tallies as they are
received on Wednesday from the
county clerk’s office.
Rick Perry has won the
Republican nomination for
governor with 51 percent of the
vote. Kay Bailey Hutchison and
Debra Medina split the difference,
with the former receiving
approximately 31 percent of the
votes cast. Hutchison conceded
the race Tuesday evening.
Democratic gubernatorial
candidate Bill White, former
mayor of Houston, won by a
landslide, with 75 percent of the
vote. Houston businessman
Farouk Shami’s had a 13 percent
showing. White and Perry will
now face each other in
