KURTH MEMORIAL LIBRARY

KML seeking public input on strategic plan for next 5 years

By STEVE KNIGHT
The Lufkin News
Kurth Memorial Library in
Lufkin continued its effort of pre-
paring a strategic plan designed
to guide its work for the next five
years by inviting the public to
share more ideas during a work-
shop Wednesday.
Participants were asked to
contribute their knowledge and
explore ideas for new or expand-
ed projects in the following stra-
tegic goal areas:
■ Leadership, staffing and pro-
fessional development — How
the library recruits and develops
staff and other talent in order
to adapt to changing patterns of
service demand and delivery.
■ Marketing, promotion and
advocacy — How the library
makes citizens, community
groups and others in the com-
munity aware of the value of its
service offerings, both offered di-
rectly and with partners.
■ Technology, systems and
future infrastructure needs —
How the library makes use of
the physical infrastructure, in-
cluding buildings and technolo-
gies as well as the supporting
systems, methods, processes
and systems necessary to en-
able the library to function and
deliver the services at current
and future locations.
■ Programming and events
— How well the events and pro-
gramming is aligned with com-
munity needs and interests.
■ Services innovation and
collection building — How the
library develops and maintains
collections, and what new collec-
tions it develops in order to de-
liver an evolving mix of services.
■ Governance, policies, coor-
dination and resource sharing —
How the library makes decisions,
who is responsible, the relevance
and usefulness of policies, and
how to make better use of talent,
physical and financial resources.
■ Expanding the role of the li-
brary and partnering — How the
library collaborates with stake-
holders and service providers to
deliver services more efficiently
or effectively than either can
alone, especially services that are
vital to the success of the city and
its citizens or deal with unmet
needs.
■ Funding, financial health,
capital investments, budgeting
— How the library is funded,
the new capital investments that
need to be made, reallocation of
funds from services no longer re-
quired to new services.
Consultant Abby Straus, from
the Ashfield, Massachusetts-
based economic development
and project management firm
Maverick & Boutique, led morn-
ing and afternoon sessions on
Wednesday.
“The goal of today’s session is
to look at all the project ideas that
the library community has come
up with during the course of the
project,” Straus said. “The par-
ticipants have been arranged into
groups by strategic goal areas to
figure out which projects there
seems to be the most energy for
and the most feasible and devel-
op the details of those projects so
that we can take them to the next
step.”
Straus said she hoped partici-
pants would come up with great
potential project ideas and “cre-
ate action for the library.”
“I hope to have some really
cool project ideas with details,
like who is going to run it, who is
responsible for it, how much will make these a reality,” she said.

necessary, how to get the commu- is no good without action.”

Gwen Fenley, Hudson theater

said.
She said they also wanted to il-

driving to the students.
“In our pre-video, the girl driv-

come together,” Briggs said. “We
are hoping that message will be
heard through our efforts in the
garden.”
Butler said the pastors set
aside their cultural differences
to come together to better the
community.
“With the economy changing,
more and more people with less
work, with this we can extend
a hand and provide maybe a
fresh garden salad — tomatoes,
cucumbers,” he said.
The idea for the garden began
about 20 years ago with Abun-
dant Life members George Har-
ris and Billy Daniels.
“I got to thinking that many
folks were in need of fresh pro-
duce,” Harris said. “So I started
by planting a row of tomatoes
and okra on the side of the
Abundant Life church.”
From there, Daniels bought
several acres in Cedar Grove for
a garden. It moved to various
spots around the community,
and people such as Judge Bob In-
selmann and Bruce Love, owner
of DP Solutions, offered help,
materials or volunteers.
Butler said Abundant Life
once had a youth auxiliary with
about 40 kids who learned how
to grow vegetables.
“This garden is a great way to
get people involved, to teach our
young people how to grow their
own food, feed off the land, be
self-sufficient,” he said. “While
they are here, we as a church can
be there for those in need, what-
ever their need is — to listen, to
pray with them.”
He said in the past it was
difficult to maintain a garden
because of a lack of volunteers,
but he has great hope thanks
to the combined efforts of the
churches.
“If we were to really keep this
going, we have another 15 acres
on Kurth Drive we could use,” he
said. “We just need the volun-
teers to help. This could be the
start of something great. I think
it’s going to be wonderful.”
632-Pool • 4102 S. HWY 69
The churches need volunteers
to help keep the garden culti-
vated and pick vegetables during
harvest time.
The ground has been broken
and tilled. They plan to plant,
weed, water and grow produce
that will be picked and bagged
by volunteers; people in need
can then pick up the produce
at former Lufkin City Council
member Victor Travis’ driveway,
which is right next to the garden.
To volunteer, contact Travis at
632-4741.

Cheyenne Garcia, daughter
of Leah and Ross Garcia, told
me about her study abroad
trip to Europe. She is a junior
human resource development
major with a business admin-
istration minor at Texas A&M
University. She heard about the
trip opportunity last semester
when signing up for classes and
knew right away that it would
be a once-in-a-lifetime oppor-
tunity. This study abroad type
of trip was different, because
a typical study abroad is for a
semester in a different country
taking the classes there. Her

trip was different because she
took the class at A&M and the
trip was over spring break. It
was actually a really cool way to
get credit for a class and explore
Europe at the same time. Their
trip started in Milan, Italy,
driving to Verona, then Venice,
where they stayed two nights on
a small island called Lido. Ven-
ice was beautiful and so breath-
taking. From the different
colors of each townhouse to the
canal going through the streets,
it was a one-of-a-kind place.
While in Venice, they toured the
Murano Glass company with
handmade glass. In Venice, she
rode a gondola. When riding
the gondola, they saw a dif-
ferent view of the city, which
was something they could not
have seen anywhere else. Next
they went to Salzburg, Austria.
This was somewhere she was
most excited to visit, because
it is the home of “The Sound
of Music” filming. Austria has
a special place in her heart,
because the movie “The Sound
of Music” was her grand-
mother Anna Teresa Garcia’s
favorite movie, and Cheyenne
grew up watching it multiple
times a week. After she passed,
visiting Salzburg was top on
Cheyenne’s bucket list. She
will never forget sitting on the
steps and running around the
fountain reinterpreting Julie
Andrew’s “Do-Re-Mi.” Next
they traveled to Garmisch-
Partenkirchen, Germany.
Garmisch was the location of
the Winter Olympics in 1936.
They spent the night there, then
traveled to the town of Hohen-
schwangau, Germany, the home
of the Neuschwanstein Castle.
This is the castle that Disney
used for the castle in “Sleeping
Beauty” and the castle featured
in “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.”
Next, they traveled to Lucerne,
Switzerland, and stayed two
nights in Lucerne. From there
they traveled to Mount Pilatus
and experienced the breathtak-
ing views of the snow-covered
mountains. They also just spent
time walking around the town
and shopping in the stores. The
last night, they stayed in Lake
Maggiore on the Stresa island.
One of the coolest things she
could say about the small island
of Stresa was that the hotel
where they stayed opened the
day they arrived, so she can say
she was one of the first guests
to stay there. The next day they
traveled back to the starting
point to leave from the Milan
airport. This trip was probably
the best experience Cheyenne
had ever had in her entire life.
She never truly knew how the
different cultures of the world
could possibly impact her, but
she is forever changed and will
definitely be filling up her pass-
port for the rest of her life.
A group of choir and theater
students from Lufkin High
School and Lufkin Middle
School took a trip to New York
City during spring break. They
visited Chinatown and Little
Italy, toured Madison Square
Garden and took a vocal
workshop with Jesse Swimm,
one of the cast members from
Broadway’s “School of Rock.”
They saw the Broadway show
“Wicked” as well as “Hello
Dolly,” a new production star-
ring Bette Midler, David Hyde
Pierce and Gavin Creel. Other
stops included the Empire
State Building, Times Square
and the 9/11 Museum. Junior
Tours planned the trip and
teacher sponsors were Laura
Hoelewyn from LHS and
Teresa Ragland from LMS.
Garion Taylor from LHS also
helped chaperone.

Family Crisis
Continued from Page 1B
April 5 at Louis Bronaugh Park
across from Lufkin City Hall.
The event is presented by the
center as well as the Angelina
County Sexual Assault Violence
Education Coalition. There will
be a free lunch, guest speakers,
entertainment and a mannequin
challenge. In a mannequin chal-
lenge, people remain frozen as if
they’re mannequins while a mov-
ing camera films them, usually
with the song “Black Beatles”
by Rae Sremmurd playing in the
background.
Next on the agenda is the cen-
ter’s “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes,”
a men’s march against violence,
at 10:55 a.m. April 11 starting at
the Student Center Courtyard at
Angelina College. Men from An-
gelina College can come to walk,
literally, in women’s shoes. The
center will provide shoes to walk
in, or participants can bring their
own pair of women’s shoes.
A screening of the award-win-
ning documentary “The Hunting
Ground” will be held in Hudgins
Hall at Angelina College at 6:30
p.m. on April 26. The documenta-
ry tells the story of sexual assault
survivors on college campuses.
The last event is one everyone
can easily participate in — “Na-
tional Denim Day.”
The campaign was triggered
by the Italian Supreme Court’s
ruling to overturn a rape convic-
tion in 1999. The justices felt that
since the 18-year-old rape vic-
tim was wearing tight jeans, she
must have helped her 45-year-old
attacker remove her jeans, there-
by implying consent instead of
rape. Since then, wearing jeans
on Denim Day has become a visu-
al symbol of protest against the
misconceptions that surround
sexual assault.
“We hope you will wear jeans
and explain to people the story
behind the jeans,” said Greta
Rich, community development
director of the Crisis Center. “We
hope you will participate wher-
ever you are and work to prevent
sexual assault and raise aware-
ness.”
The center is also offering a
new, free prevention course to
anyone who is interested in pre-
venting sexual assault in the
community. The course will be
eight in-person hours broken
down to four sessions.
The course will prepare indi-
viduals for situations regarding
sexual assault and certify partici-
pants as official Sexual Violence

NATIONAL ATHLETIC TRAINING MONTH
1C

Athletic trainers work to

take care of LHS athletes
By BRANDON OGDEN from a young age that she wanted to get involved
The Lufkin News with something related to medicine.
As a volleyball player in middle school and high

W
hen you’re at a sporting event, some-
times a player gets hurt and needs some
attention.
For those situations, there’s usually an athletic
trainer on hand.
At Lufkin High School, the athletic training
staff consists of head athletic trainer Shannon
Marek, assistant athletic trainer Mitchell Batts
and 15 student athletic trainers.
March is National Athletic Training Month,
which gives an opportunity to “spread awareness
about the important work of athletic trainers,”
according to the National Athletic Trainers’ As-
sociation website.
The NATA’s slogan for 2017 is “Your protection
is our priority.”
Marek, the daughter of a nurse, said she knew
school in Temple, Marek was searching for some-
thing to do when her volleyball career came to an
end.
“I actually got hurt a whole bunch, so I was in
the athletic training room a lot, so I decided to
switch over and give it a try just to still be involved
in something in the high school, and I just fell in
love with it,” she said.
Marek went on to Baylor University, where she
became a certified athletic trainer. She then went
to Oklahoma State University for graduate school
for two years and also worked with their athletic
teams. Marek then accepted the job at Lufkin to
become the head athletic trainer.

regional final game Saturday in San Jose, Calif.

Gonzaga beats Xavier 83-59 Oregon stuns Kansas 74-60

to reach its first Final Four to earn spot in Final Four
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — The
criticism dogged Gonzaga wher-
ever it went, no matter how much
it won.
The Zags run up their record
by beating up on teams in a weak
conference, then always seemed
to come up short as the calen-
dar went deep into March. Few
outside of Spokane believed the
program Mark Few helped build
from scratch belonged in the na-
tional powerhouse conversation.
Overrated no more, Gonzaga is
finally headed to the Final Four.
The Zags took the pressure of
history head on with a perfor-
mance worthy of their No. 1 seed,
rolling to a dominating 83-59 win
over Xavier in the West Region
final on Saturday that should si-
lence those critics.
“Just an incredible feeling of
elation and satisfaction,” Few
said. “It’s been a long, hard jour-
ney to get this program here.”
Few and the Zags have won
the West Coast Conference Tour-
nament 16 times, been regulars
in the NCAA Tournament since
1999, reached the Sweet 16 eight
times.
The Final Four was the only
missing piece to their resume.
The Zags (36-1) claimed their
spot in Arizona and history with a
superb all-around game, showing
off their usual offensive efficiency
while flexing the smothering type
of defense that had previously
been the chink in their armor.
Gonzaga made 12 of 24 shots
from 3-point range after strug-
gling the first three NCAA Tour-
nament games. The Zags were No.
1 in defensive efficiency during
the regular season and shut down
the underdog and 11th-seeded
Musketeers (24-14) to become the
first WCC team to reach the Final
Four in 60 years.
Nigel Williams-Goss scored
23 points while orchestrating
Gonzaga’s efficient offense after
struggling against West Virginia.
Johnathan Williams added 19
points and center Przemek Kar-
nowski, who was still recovering
from back surgery a year ago, cre-
ated open perimeter looks with
his deft passing out of the post.
Now the Zags are headed to the
desert, where they’ll play the win-
ner between South Carolina and
Florida in next week’s Final Four.
“The Final Four doesn’t vali-
date or discredit a season. It’s not
an end-all, be-all,” Williams said.
“Gonzaga has been a great pro-
gram and we’re just happy to keep
carrying the torch.”
The Musketeers brought their
turn-the-page jar of ashes to the
NCAA Tournament, where they
burned through a string of upsets
to reach their third Elite Eight
and first since 2008.
Their bid for the program’s first
Final Four ran into a buzz saw.
Xavier played well offensively
early to hang with the Zags, giving
super fan Bill Murray and the rest
of their supporters a glimmer of
hope. Once Gonzaga got rolling,
the Musketeers had no answer.
“They’re really good. Some-
times you just lose to a better
team,” Xavier coach Chris Mack
said. “They’ve proven it all year
long.”
The Zags struggled to find an
offensive rhythm against West
Virginia in the regional semifi-
nals— who doesn’t? — but had it
flowing against Xavier.
After hitting 29 percent of its
3-point shots its first three NCAA
games, Gonzaga found the range
against Xavier, hitting 8 of 13 from
the arc in the first half, mostly
against the Musketeers’ zone or
on kick-outs from Karnowski.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) —
Tyler Dorsey poured in 27 points,
Dillon Brooks added 17 and
plucky Oregon ended Kansas’
romp through the NCAA Tour-
nament with a 74-60 victory Sat-
urday night that gave the Ducks
their first Final Four trip in near-
ly 80 years.
Dylan Ennis added 12 points
for the Ducks (33-5), who took the
lead with 16 minutes left in the
first half and never trailed again,
giving coach Dana Altman his
first trip to the national semifi-
nals.
They’ll face the winner of Sun-
day’s game between North Caro-
lina and Kentucky in Glendale,
Arizona.
Player of the year front-runner
Frank Mason III had 21 points in
his final game for the Jayhawks
(31-5), who had rolled to the Elite
Eight by an average margin of 30
points. But their dream season
ended with a thud just 40 minutes
from campus on a night where
very little went right.
Star freshman Josh Jackson
was mired in early foul trouble.
Sharpshooting guard Devonte
Graham never got on track.
And the swagger that the Big 12
champs showed in humiliating
Purdue in the Sweet 16 quickly
became a distant memory on a
night that belonged to the Pac-12
champions.
Altman had never been to the
Final Four in 13 appearances in
the NCAA Tournament. And the
last time the Ducks were on the
big stage, it was 1939 and the Tall
Firs took home the title.
Jordan Bell added 11 points,
13 rebounds and eight blocks for
Oregon, while Jackson was held
to 10 points for the Jayhawks in
what was almost certainly his fi-
nal college game.
The bus carrying the Ducks to
Sprint Center on Saturday passed
right by the Power and Light Dis-
trict in downtown Kansas City,
where thousands of Jayhawk
fans were rallying hours before
the tipoff.
In other words, they knew they
were facing a de facto road game.
But the torrid shooting of
Brooks, Ennis and Dorsey quick-
ly riled up the small section of Or-
egon fans while deflating the rest
of sold-out Sprint Center. And
foul trouble that sent Jackson to
the bench for much of the first
half helped allow the Ducks carve
out a comfortable lead.
Dorsey finished the half with
back-to-back 3s, including a deep
bank shot at the buzzer, as the
Ducks pranced to their locker
room relishing in a 44-33 advan-
tage. They kept right on dancing
in the second half, beating the
Jayhawks at their own game: get-
ting into transition, passing up
good shots for better ones and
knocking down 3-pointers.
The Ducks’ lead swelled to 55-37
when Brooks drilled another shot
from the perimeter, creating the
kind of hole Kansas has rarely
faced. And the frustration was
on the Jayhawks bench was only
compounded every time Jackson
or Graham tossed up a shot that
clanked hollowly off the iron,
their sense of desperation grow-
ing with every squandered oppor-
tunity.
Jackson didn’t score until mid-
way through the second half. Gra-
ham was 0 for 6 beyond the arc.
The Jayhawks eventually be-
gan to whittle into the deficit, do-
ing most of the work at the free-
throw line, where they were in
the bonus with 11 minutes to go.
But the Ducks remained poised
down the stretch, answering just
enough times to keep the crowd
from giving Kansas any extra
juice.

Central’s Bell signs with Kilgore

By brandon ogden
The Lufkin News
POLLOK — Makenna Bell
has been a dynamic athlete on
the basketball court and softball
field during her career at Central
High School.
But in college, Bell will focus
just on softball as she will take
her talents to Kilgore College.
“I’ve just always had a love for
softball,” Bell said. “Practice has
never been hard for me. I never
dreaded practice. I just always
wanted to be out there on the
field, so I knew I wanted to con-
tinue that.
“It’s awesome to sign and have
all of the support from my family
and friends, and just being here
and knowing that I’m going to
be in college, playing the sport I
love.”
Bell said she looked at a few
other junior colleges, and she
had also been emailing the Uni-
versity of Dallas, but the proxim-
ity — along with coaching — of
Kilgore helped make that her fi-
nal choice.
“The coaching staff was defi-
nitely a big factor in it,” Bell said.
“They were so nice, I could really
tell they cared about everyone
and have a big love for their pro-
gram.”
Central softball coaches Shane
Tobias and Kurtis Acosta raved
about what Kilgore is gaining
with the signing of Bell.
“They’re getting an all-around
athlete,” Tobias said. “She’s a
dual-sport kid who is tough both
on and off the field. She’s played
through some injuries. They’re
getting a solid softball player who
can impact the game on defense
and at the plate.”
“They’re getting a leader from
day one,” said Acosta, who is also
Bell’s uncle. “They’re getting brandon ogden/The Lufkin News

COLLEGE BASEBALL
Roadrunners sweep Northeast Texas
Elvir drives in
four in wild
nightcap win
By GARY STALLARD
AC Athletics
The Angelina College Road-
runner baseball team on Satur-
day won a game in conventional
style, then pulled out all the stops
to win a wild nightcap to sweep
Northeast Texas Community
College 5-3 and 14-10 at Roadrun-
ner Field in Lufkin.
In the late game, AC rallied
from a 6-0 deficit after the Eagles
posted a six-run first inning. Josh
Elvir, who drove in four runs in
the win, doubled into the right
field corner in the bottom of the
seventh to score Jacob Finke to
tie the game at 7-7. Then, with
the bases loaded, Tony Lima took
a pitch off the top of his helmet
to send home the go-ahead run,
and Tucker Redden followed
with a bases-loaded walk for a 9-7
AC lead.
NTCC came right back to
score two in the Eagles’ half of
the eighth, but the Roadrunners
erupted for five runs in the bot-
tom of the frame to take their
final lead. Two balks with the
bases loaded accounted for two
AC runs, and singles from Aaron
Bowley, Lima and Redden led to
three more.
AC’s Bailey Holstein pitched
another game in long relief, tak-
ing the ball with the ’Runners
trailing 6-0 in the first inning.
Holstein proceeded to throw the
next 62⁄3 innings, striking out
seven while allowing a single
earned run while the ’Runners
chipped their way back into the
game. Jesse Cravy earned the
win, pitching two innings of re-
lief.

Dempsey hat trick lifts
US over Honduras 6-0
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Just
before they walked onto the field
for a critical World Cup quali-
fier, American players received a
message from Bruce Arena.
“I have this copyrighted, but
it was something to the effect of:
first shot, first tackle, first goal,”
the returning coach said. “I have
T-shirt rights to that.”
Their response was emphatic,
elders and youth alike.
Clint Dempsey came back from
an irregular heartbeat at age 34
to score his second international
hat trick, 18-year-old phenom
Christian Pulisic had one goal
and set up three others, and the
U.S. routed Honduras 6-0 Friday
night to get back in contention
for an eighth straight World Cup
berth.
“Three massive points,” cap-
tain Michael Bradley said. “No
two ways about that.”
Surprise starter Sebastian

goal in the fifth minute after Pu-
lisic’s shot deflected off the goal-
keeper, Michael Bradley doubled
the lead in the 27th and Dempsey
scored off Pulisic’s perfectly
weighted chip in the 32nd.
Finding room to maneuver in
a central midfield role, Pulisic
made it 4-0 just 12 seconds into
the second half with his fourth
international goal. Dempsey
rounded the keeper to score fol-

Angelina College shortstop Nathan Miranda (7) leaps over teammate Tony Lima for a wind-blown
catch during Saturday’s game against Northeast Texas Community College. The Roadrunners rallied
in both games to win 5-3 and 14-10 at Roadrunner Field in Lufkin.
Elvir’s game included two
doubles and a homer. Redden,
Bowley and Lima each finished
with two RBI.
In the opener, the Roadrunners
trailed 3-1 in the bottom of the
fourth when Bowley launched a
two-run blast over the right-field
wall to tie the score. In the sixth,
Nathan Miranda’s sacrifice fly
scored Elvir to break the tie, and

on a 23-yard free kick in the
54th. With 55 international goals,
Dempsey moved within two of
Landon Donovan’s American re-
cord.
“I’m a fighter,” Dempsey said,
“look for the opportunity to get
out there and show that I should
be around still.”
In its first competitive match
since Arena replaced Jurgen
Klinsmann, the U.S. moved from
last to fourth in the final round
of the North and Central Ameri-
can and Caribbean region, tied at
three points with Honduras and
with Trinidad and Tobago but
ahead on goal difference, Mexico
leads with seven points, followed
by Costa Rica with six and Pana-
ma with four.
The top three nations qualify
for next year’s tournament in
Russia, and the fourth-place na-
tion advances to a playoff. With
a victory at Panama on Tuesday,
the Americans could move into
the top three.
“If we get a result in Panama,
things change fast,” midfielder
Alejandro Bedoya said.
The U.S. had never before won
a hexagonal game by more than
three goals.
“This team is really strong
mentally,” Pulisic said. “It shows
good heart.”
The American Outlaws and
the rest of the lively crowd of
17,729 loved every second of this
long-awaited showing.

somebody on site and ready in case an
emergency or anything would happen.”
Athletic trainers treat several types
of injuries, minor or major. One no-
table incident during the 2016-17 school
year was during a football game on
Oct. 14 at Abe Martin Stadium between
Lufkin and Beaumont West Brook,
when Lufkin sophomore receiver Brey-
lon Garcia went down with an injury
and was carted out of the stadium on a
stretcher.
“Breylon’s was probably the biggest
emergency we’ve had this year,” Marek
said. “We had a couple of more we sent
by ambulance during two-a-days for full
body cramps, because once a kid gets
to that point of dehydration, there’s no
amount of Powerade or water we can
push in them — they need to go to the
hospital. But Breylon’s situation with
getting hit in the head and having some
neck pain, that was probably the biggest.
“The biggest thing for us is if there’s
any kind of loss of consciousness or
confusion or anything like that, it’s an
immediate sign for us just to get them
and go. He also had some neck pain, and
that’s another sign that ... it could pos-
sibly be broken, and you don’t want to
move them. We decided that after we
looked at him a little bit longer, he was
real sleepy too, and that’s another big

concussion thing, so we decided to get
him and go.”
While the athletic trainers travel with
the varsity teams to events, Marek said
for sub-varsity events, the best decision
is to stay at the home site.
“If every high school athletic trainer
in Texas stays at their home facility,
then everything will be covered,” she
said.
When multiple home events are hap-
pening at the same time, especially in
the spring, Marek said they have to
make decisions on where to be based on
the number of athletes participating and
the likelihood of injury in that particu-
lar sport. Marek said most of the time,
she will be at one event and Batts will be
at another, and if there are more going
on, they have student athletic trainers
who are assigned to different sports.
Two of the student athletic trainers
are seniors Trae Shepherd and Elena
Cruz, who both joined the athletic train-
ing program during their junior year.
“I’ve got a natural urge to help people,
and meeting new people is what I like to
do a lot,” Shepherd said. “We do more
than just give them water. We come out
here, we make sure they’re healthy, and
we make sure they don’t pass out from
anything. If they get hit, we’re here to
help them.”

OUTDOORS
Spring fling
By MATT WILLIAMS
For The Lufkin News
There is one thing you can count on
when it comes to springtime crappie fish-
ing: The fish will only be where you find
them.
Harum-scarum by nature, paper-
mouths can be tough to pattern this time
of year because they are rambling the
shallows here and there and looking for
a place to spawn.
The ritual is carried out similar to the
bass spawn. Nests are built or fanned in
shallow water, usually in close proximity
to some form of cover, such as bushes,
fallen trees, lily pad stems or stumps
when available. Often times they’ll fan
out nests amongst the thickest junk they
can find before carrying out the court-
ship that creates the next generation of
crappie.
Curtain time can fall as early as Feb-
ruary on lakes across eastern Texas, but
it usually goes down sometime in mid-
March through early April.
Judging from reports I’m hearing from
fishing guides and recreational anglers,
crappie are in all phases of the spawn in
lakes across the region right now. The
spawn is going full bore on some lakes,
winding down or just beginning to get
cranked up on others.
Either way, the fishing has been out-
standing for those anglers willing to
spend the time necessary to sniff out the
fish in skinny water. Lake Fork guide
Gary Paris says he and his wife, Lisa,
have been eating plenty of crappie fillets
around their house lately.
“It’s been great for about three weeks,”
says Paris. “We’ve been smacking them
pretty good. They’re big, too. We’ve
caught a lot of fish in the 1¼-pound range
and several up to 2 pounds.”
One of Paris’ best trips this month pro-
duced 67 keepers for three guide clients.
That’s just eight fish shy of a three-man
limit of 75 fish.
“We went out another day and started
out fishing for channel cat,” Paris said.
“We caught several, then we went look-
ing for crappie. There was shad spawning
going on and we found the crappie run-
ning the shad completely onto the banks.
We caught 40 big ones in about two hours.
I’m pretty sure a lot of those fish were
post-spawn, because they didn’t have any
eggs. But they are still hanging around
shallow because there’s plenty of cover
and plenty to eat.”
The technique Paris is using to find
and catch crappie is one that will work in
just about any lake with a reputable crap-
pie population. It’s called dabbling, which
involves the use of a 13-foot telescoping
Black Widow crappie pole, a slip cork and
a 1⁄8-ounce crappie jig tipped with a live
shiner.
The trick, says Paris, is to move slowly
along the shoreline over a shallow flat
and carefully place the shiner tight to
Alan Henry kicks out 13.34 ShareLunker
By MATT WILLIAMS
For The Lufkin News
Like a friendly ghost from the past, little
Alan Henry Reservoir in far West Texas
burst back onto the Texas big bass scene
on March 21 when John Vineyard of Lub-
bock caught a 13.34-pounder while fishing
with a 10-inch watermelon worm in about
6 feet of water.
I call Alan Henry a little lake with a big-
fish past because that’s exactly what it is.
The 2,800-acre impoundment built on the
Double Mountain of Brazos River was
on fire with heavyweight bass during the
early 2000s.
The lake was the state’s leading produc-
er of Toyota ShareLunker entries in 2005
and 2006. It was the first lake in the history
of the program to produce more entries in
a single season than Lake Fork, and it did
it twice in back-to-back years with nine en-
tries.
Things have been relatively quiet on
Alan Henry over the last decade. After pro-
ducing two Toyota ShareLunker entries
in 2007, it wasn’t heard from again until
last April, when Bruce Butler of Canyon
caught a 13.13-pounder. Vineyard’s latest
OUTDOORS BRIEFS: Lake Fork kicks out Mega Bass
By MATT WILLIAMS
For The Lufkin News
John Newkirk of Benbrook topped a
record field of more than 1,800 anglers
to win the top prize overall in the ninth
annual Bass Champs Mega Bass event
hosted March 19 on Lake Fork.
Newkirk landed a massive
12.35-pounder using a Chatterbait in 6-8
feet of water. The fish earned him $15,000
as the biggest bass of hour, plus a fully
rigged Skeeter bass boat. The No. 2 big
bass was a 12.22-pounder reeled in by
ET anglers enjoying banner
crappie fishing region-wide
Catching crappie in the spring means covering lots of shallow water until you find them. Spawning crappie love to hang tight to
any available cover, such as brush, weed bed, brush, docks and laydown logs, usually in skinny water ranging 1-3 feet deep.
available cover like brush, bushes, logs
or pockets in the grass. When a fish takes
the bait, the cork starts moving slowly to
one side or disappears altogether. All of
the bites are coming shallow, 1-4 feet.
“The main thing is to stay on the
move,” Paris said. “The fish aren’t every-
where, but when you find them, they’ll
munch.”
Lake Livingston fishing guide Dave
Cox says he and his clients have been en-
joying some outstanding crappie fishing
lately, as well.
“It’s been good just about every day for
a while now,” Cox said. “We’re not catch-
ing limits — about 20-22 fish is a good day
for two people. We’re catching some nice
ones, though. I’ve had several in the 16- to
17-inch range — real slabs.”
Like Paris, Cox is covering lots of wa-
ter to find fish and relying on long poles,
slip corks and shiners to help his clients
exploit them. He says the best areas have
been towards the backs of major and sec-
ondary creeks in water ranging 2-4 feet
deep.
“White Rock, Harmon and Caney have
all been good,” Cox said. “I’m finding
them around cut banks with laydowns or
any other kind of wood around them. It
seems like the bigger wood is holding the
bigger fish.”
The shallow bite has been equally good
at the upper reaches of Toledo Bend. Ac-
cording to Charlie Shivley at Bill’s Land-
ing, there are plenty of fish on the banks
in the backs of old sloughs and shallow
flats adjacent to Tenaha Creek. Shivley
entry is 27th from Alan Henry since 2000
and the heaviest bass reported there since
2006. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department
fisheries biologist Charlie Munger of Can-
yon has been riding shotgun over Alan
Henry for years and says that word of the
recent Toyota ShareLunker didn’t come as
much of a shock at all.
“Alan Henry has always produced some
good fish,” Munger said. “It had some big
years early, but then it sort of faded away.
We’ve continued to hear quite a few reports
about guys catching 10- to 11-pounders out
there, so we know the lake still has plenty
of potential to produce fish in this class.”
With water temperatures still in the 50s,
Munger says Alan Henry bass are still in
a pre-spawn mode and beginning to stage
for the spawn at mid-range depths. The
spawn typically runs about 30-45 days be-
hind East Texas lakes, so April is usually
the bewitching month for whopper bass.
Of the lake’s 27 ShareLunker entries, 15
have been caught in April.
“About now is when we start seeing
the guys out there with their elevated
platforms, sight fishing for bedding fish,” John Vineyard with the 13.34-pound Toyota ShareLunker he reeled in March
Munger said. “You can see bottom down to 21 at Lake Alan Henry near Justiceburg. The fish is Alan Henry’s 27th entry to
about 6 feet when the conditions are right.” the state program.
Sam McCollum of Corsicana.
While Newkirk won the tournament’s
top prize, he wasn’t the only angler
to strike bass gold. Six other anglers
grabbed $15,000 big bass of the hour pay-
checks that were passed out at the end of
the day. One of them was a lady angler,
Letita Sprayberry of Kemp. Sprayberry
caught a 10.97-pounder to win the 11
o’clock hour.
Bass Champs paid out more than
$200,000 in cash and prizes in what was
billed as the richest one-day big bass
hourly event ever held.

Elizabeth Browning and her husband,

says the fish are relating primarily to old
cypress trees and brush in water ranging
1-3 feet deep.
“Some of them are out away from
the bank in the middle of the sloughs,
too,” Shivley said. “You just got to move
around to find them. You might catch
three to four out of a spot, then you have
to move.”

the bite has been more sporadic at the
lake’s southern reaches and the fish are
considerably harder to find.

Johnston said. “The ones we are catching
are coming on tube jigs and Roadrunners
along creek channels in 4-8 feet of water,
but they are really scattered. Some days
it’s better to stroll than to cast. We haven’t
been able to catch much at all on a jig un-
der a cork. That bite should be on fire
right now, but it’s not.”
There isn’t a ton of shallow spawn-
ing cover on Cedar Creek Reservoir, but
fishing guide Jason Barber of Gun Bar-
rel City says there are plenty fish to be
caught around boat docks right now. The
best ones are in water ranging 1-3 feet and
4-10 feet, he said.
“I think there are a couple of things go-
ing on right now,” Barber said. “We’ve got
fish spawning around shallower docks
on secondary points towards the backs
of spawning pockets and there are pre-
spawn fish still staging around the deeper
docks. Any type of emergent vegetation
or cypress trees you can find in the edge
of water also holds some potential.”
Barber says the most effective way to
fish around Cedar Creek’s boat docks
doesn’t involve a long pole and a shiner.
Instead, it’s all about skipping or shoot-
ing a jig.
“These fish are taking advantage of
the shade, so you need to work at learn-
ing how to get the jig as far up under the
docks as you can get it,” he said. “It’s a
challenging way to fish for them, but it
also can be a lot of fun once you get the
hang of it.”

real about her feelings in this
situation. If, after that, he still
wants to just borrow more
money and not work outside of
school, then she might have a
difficult decision ahead.
However, if he realizes how
damaging additional debt
could be to their relationship,
and he’s willing to work while

think their future together
looks much brighter. — Dave
Dear Dave: My husband
and I heard about your plan,
but we’re not sure what to do
next. We have between $400,000
and $500,000 in a 401(k) for
retirement, but we don’t have
any other savings. We’re both
in our forties, and the only
debt we have is our house, so
what should we do about Baby
Steps 4 and 6? — Mary
Dear Mary: Overall, you
two have done a great job with
your money. Let’s go over the
Baby Steps you mentioned.
Baby Step 4 is putting 15 per-
cent of your income into Roth
IRAs and pre-tax retirement
plans. Baby Step 6 is paying off
your home early.
The thing that worries me
is you’ve completely skipped
Baby Step 3, which is hav-

expenses in an emergency
fund. This is money set aside

Jobless rates remain steady in city, county
By STEVE KNIGHT
The Lufkin News
Unemployment rates re-
mained relatively steady in
Lufkin and Angelina County in
February compared to the previ-
ous month, according to figures
released on Friday by the Texas
Workforce Commission.
Lufkin’s unemployment rate
dropped one-tenth of a percent-
age point to 5.5 percent in Janu-
ary compared to the previous
month. The jobless rate was 5.6
percent a year ago.
The data also showed that the
number of employed rose slight-
ly when compared to the prior
month, while the number of un-
employed declined slightly.

Hard times for Sears
as retailer notes
doubt about future
By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO
and HANNAH WEIKEL
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Sears, a back-
to-school shopping destination
for generations of kids, has said
that after years of losing money,
there is “substantial doubt” it
will be able to keep its doors
open. But it also insisted that its
actions to turn around its busi-
ness should help reduce that risk.
It was still a dramatic acknowl-
edgment from the chain that
owns Sears and Kmart stores,
which has long held fast to its
stance that a turnaround is pos-
sible, even as many of its shop-
pers have moved on to Wal-Mart,
Target or Amazon.
Sears has survived of late
steady compared to the previous
month while the number of em-
ployed rose.
Angelina County’s unemploy-
ment rate rose one-tenth of a
percentage point to 6.5 percent
in February. The county’s jobless
rate a year ago was 5.7 percent.
The county’s labor force in-
creased compared to the previ-
ous month, while the number of
employed fell.
The Texas economy added
6,700 seasonally adjusted non-
farm jobs in February. Texas’
seasonally adjusted unemploy-
ment rate increased to 4.9 percent
in February, up slightly from 4.8
percent in January.
“Texas employers added
222,400 jobs over the year in the
diverse Texas economy,” Texas

man Andres Alcantar said in a

funneled through the hedge fund

Holdings Corp. said late Tuesday
it lost more than $2 billion last
year, and its historical operating
results indicated doubt about the
future of the company that start-
ed in the 1880s as a mail-order
catalog business.
At a largely empty Sears store
in St. Paul, Minnesota, where the

According to the data, the edu-
cation and health services indus-
try recorded the largest private-
industry employment gain over
the month with 11,700 jobs added.
Leisure and hospitality employ-
ment grew by 4,400 jobs in Feb-
ruary, and manufacturing added

Private-sector employment

Sears Holdings, which operates Sears and Kmart stores, says there is "substantial doubt"
about its future. Earlier this year it said it planned to close 108 more Kmart and 42 more
Sears locations. It joins retailers including Macy's and J.C. Penney in announcing large store
closings since the 2016 holiday shopping season.

Your opinion
Texting
Troubles
East Texans have differing
opinions on possibility of
banning texting while driving
H
ere are your responses to our
Facebook question of the week,
“What are your thoughts on a
statewide ban on texting while
driving? The proposed measure has
passed the Texas House of Representa-
tives but would still need to be approved
by the state Senate and Gov. Greg Abbott.”
Because we received a large number of
responses, we split it into three parts. The
first two were published Thursday and
Friday; here’s the final one:
Willie Cox — Just what is needed: more
government! As has been stated already,
there’s laws on the books now covering
distracted driving. Enforce what’s already
on the books before adding more.
Tarra Glaze — I think distracted driver
already covers it, but if it gets people’s at-
tention, so be it.
Bridget Jones Skelly — Great idea!
David Jordan — I say we just ban cars
all together, LOL.
Claudlene Duirden — It’s a dangerous
distraction.
Cari Barker Levesque — GOOD.
Khalesha Anderson — Are the police
going to follow the rules, being that they
are always on their phones while patrol-
ling? It should be banned, though.
Kevan Mericle — People should not be
messing with their phone at all if they are
behind the wheel.
Trena Lazette — Let your kids be the
secretary and respond. I say no texting
and driving. I hired my daughter for that.
Worked out great.
Jennifer Sulak — So many text and
drive. It’s unsafe and should be banned all
together. I’ve had too many close encoun-
ters involving individuals who text and
drive. It’s scary.
Ashley Musick — Absolutely! 100
percent banned!
Josh Bean — I just want to point out
that among the other things mentioned,
I’ve actually witnessed a woman crochet-
ing while driving. Not sure what she was
steering with. But, yeah, as someone men-
tioned earlier, stupid people will do stupid
things. Overregulating just seems to open
the doors for a lot of unnecessary things.
Some laws have to be revisited and revised
later to work out the kinks, all costing
taxpayers. If it would prevent the act, it’s
worth it. If it causes people to move the
phone down further in an attempt to con-
ceal the illegal act (further distracting the
driver), then the law itself could indirectly
cause accidents. You just can’t spend all
your time trying to fix stupid when there
are already laws in place to address the
issue. Having said all that, I think I would
have to say I’m firmly undecided.
TJ Stracener — All right ... I’ll play
devil’s advocate. As a libertarian, I’m not
in favor of new money making laws for the
government. There’s already a law against
distracted driving. Eating, drinking, put-
ting on makeup, singing and dancing to
the radio, chatting with your buddies ...
All these things can distract you, and are
already covered under the laws. I watched
a John Stossel special a few years ago
where he suggested that making texting
and driving illegal will actually make the
problem worse, because people will have
their phones down low so cops can’t see,
which takes their eyes further away from
the road than if they had the phone at
steering wheel level.
Joseph Zambo — Wait, it’s hard to read
this while driving.
Jazmin Moyeda — Texting and driving
is bad ... Causes a lot of wrecks because
somebody wants to text and drive. It’s not
safe. I don’t know how else to say it, but I’d
rather be safe than sorry. Some day they
will learn the hard way. I don’t hope, but
some of y’all don’t care about texting and
driving. Don’t text and drive. Save a life
and stay alive.

he front-page story in Tuesday’s Lufkin

There wasn’t any! We dis-

throngs of college basketball fans watching
the playoffs, I was recently reminded that we have
our own version of March
Madness happening right
here in Austin. With hun-
dreds of bills being heard in
committees and voted upon
daily on the House floor,
there is plenty of excite-
ment and suspense at your
Texas Capitol. With that as a
backdrop, here’s your latest
update from Austin …
trent ashby
First Responders Day.
The State Firefighters and
Fire Marshals Association of Texas recently
hosted their 2017 First Responders Legislative
Day. A memorial service honoring firefighters
who died in the line of duty was held on the South
steps of the Capitol. The service was particularly
touching for me, as we celebrated the life and
service of one of my constituents, John Kendall
Reynolds of the Buffalo VFD, whose family was
in attendance and whose name was added to the
Capitol monument honoring fallen firefighters.
House Natural Resources. A number of
my colleagues on the House Natural Resources
Committee and I had a spirited discussion about
legislation that would allow for an exemption
to the existing junior water provision on trans-
ferring water from one river basin to another,
often referred to as an interbasin transfer. While
plenty of interbasin transfers have occurred, and
have all gone through the appropriate regula-
tory process, I vehemently oppose any legislative
attempt to circumvent this process by allowing
certain entities to take priority over other permit
holders in the river basin. Protecting existing
permit holders in river basins from having too
much water siphoned out, as well as updating the
water availability models that dictate whether
any surplus water exists, seems like a prudent
and responsible approach to me.
Legislation. We have had a few recent legisla-
tive developments that I want to bring everyone
up to speed on. I recently had a hearing in the
House Committee on Public Education where
I was able to lay out one of my bills, HB 1776,
which would replace the end of course exam for
United States history with the civics test that is

curtains and window treatments

“I bought my tools from Sears
and I’ve still got them,” Jack
Walsh said.
The company known for Die-
Hard batteries and Kenmore ap-
pliances has been selling assets,
most recently its Craftsman tool
brand. But it says pension agree-
ments may prevent the sale of
more businesses, potentially
leading to a shortfall in funding.
“It’s a sad story. This is the
place that created the first direct-
to-consumer retail, the first mod-
ern department store. It stood
like the Colossus over the Ameri-
can retail landscape,” said Craig
Johnson, president of Customer
Growth Partners, a retail con-
sulting firm. “But it’s been un-
derinvested and bled dry.”
Company shares, which hit an
all-time low last month, tumbled
more than 13 percent Wednesday.
Sears tried to soothe investors’
fears, saying in a post on its site
that it remains focused on “exe-
cuting our transformation plan”
and that news reports miss the
full disclosure that it’s highlight-
ing actions to reduce risks. It also
said that the comments made in
the filing were in line with “regu-
latory standards.”
Lampert combined Sears and
Kmart in 2005, about two years af-
ter he helped bring Kmart out of
bankruptcy. He pledged to return
Sears to greatness, leveraging its
best-known brands and its vast
holdings of land, and more re-
cently planned to entice custom-
ers with its loyalty program. The
company, which employs 140,000
people, announced in January it
would close 108 additional Kmart
and 42 more Sears locations, and
unveiled yet another restructur-
ing plan in February aimed at
cutting costs and reconfiguring
debts to give itself more breath-
ing room.
But it has to get more people
through the doors or shopping
online for what it’s selling. Sears,
like many department stores, has
been thwarted by a new consum-
er that has ripped up the decades-
old playbook that the industry
has relied upon. A plethora of
new online players have also rev-
olutionized the market.
Sears has upped its presence
online, but is having a hard time
disguising its age. Its stores are in
need of a major refresh as rivals
like Wal-Mart and Target invest
heavily to revitalize stores. Sales

strictly for emergencies. The
problem right now is if you have
a real emergency, you may have
to cash out your 401(k). If you do
that, you’re going to be penalized
10 percent, plus your tax rate.
That’s a real kick in the teeth
just because you didn’t do things
in the right order.
My advice is to temporarily
at established Sears and Kmart
locations dropped 10.3 percent in
the final quarter of 2016.
Industry analysts have placed
the staggering sums of money
that Sears is losing beside the
limited number of assets it has
left to sell, and believe the storied
retailer may have reached the
point of no return.
The company has lost $10.4 bil-
lion since 2011, the last year that
it made a profit. Excluding charg-
es that can be listed as one-time
events, the loss is $4.57 billion,
says Ken Perkins, who heads the
research firm Retail Metrics LLC,
but how the losses are stacked no
longer seems to matter.
“They’re past the tipping
point,” Perkins said. “This is a
symbolic acknowledgement of
the end of Sears of what we know
it to be.”
For Sears to survive, Perkins
believes it would need to do so as
a company running maybe 200
stores. It now operates 1,430, a fig-
ure that has been vastly reduced
in recent years. As for Kmart,
Perkins does not see much of a
future.
For decades, Sears was king
of the American shopping land-
scape. Sears, Roebuck and Co.’s
storied catalog featured items
from bicycles to sewing machines
to houses, and could generate ex-
citement throughout a household
when it arrived. The company
began opening retail locations
in 1925 and expanded swiftly in
suburban malls from the 1950s to
1970s.

There is a difference between envy and
jealousy. Enviousness is wishing you had
what others have and being motivated by it.
You’re happy for them and maybe ask how
they achieved it, so you can also.
Jealously is altogether different. It means
if you can’t have it, you don’t want anyone
else to either. Jealousy is altogether negative.
It’s hateful and sad, making the one carrying
it around looking foolish, pitiful and down-

DEAR ABBY: I am responding to the
letter from “Unsure in the West” (Oct.
9). You advised that you “see nothing
wrong with what she did” in opening
a box in a grocery store and eating
some of the contents before paying at
the checkout. You should know that
legally, eating or using the contents of
an unpaid item in the aisle is considered
“shoplifting.” The perpetrator can be
prosecuted to the fullest extent of the
law.
I am a certified protection profes-
sional. While the intent may not be to
“steal,” retailers — whose industry loses
billions of dollars to theft each year —
require that items in their stores be paid
for before they can be used or eaten.
An employee of mine was assigned to
work in a major grocery chain. He took
a bottle of eye drops and used them
while he was in the aisle. He had taken
the exact change from his pocket and
was holding it in his hand as he walked
to the checkout. Before he could get
there, he was arrested by store security.
As a courtesy to me, the chain agreed to
reinstate him if he passed a lie-detector
test determining his “intent to steal.”
(He passed the test.) I strongly recom-
mend that the practice of using or eat-
ing items before paying for them never
be condoned. — ALLAN IN YONKERS
DEAR ALLAN: I apologize for say-
ing otherwise and thank you for your
letter. Other readers also responded
to that column citing firsthand experi-
ences working in the retail field.
Several of them mentioned that it is
impossible to correctly charge for food
that is sold by weight if someone has
eaten some, such as fruit. Others said
that customers sometimes get to the
register to pay and realize they have left
their wallet at home, or their credit card
is rejected.
A reader also suggested that if some-
one wants to pay for food after consum-
ing it, that’s what restaurants are for. In
restaurants, if the customer can’t pay,
there are dishes to be washed.

overreacting. Let your intuition guide you
and your experience and knowledge help
you overcome adversity.

We do have more sad news to
report. Chris Fitzgerald passed
from this life to a better place
this week.
Chris was a volunteer at the

was a delight to be around. Even

Alzheimer’s, he kept everything
(and everybody) in order. A table
or chair might need just a little
nudge to be on the line, but Chris
was sure it was going to be in the
right place.
He was a happy, smiling
person and a gentleman in every
respect. He was always there to
help some little old lady from the
door to her seat. Everyone loved
him and missed him when he
had to stop coming to the center.

Controlling
weeds starts
with seeds
By DEAN FOSDICK
The Associated Press

Weed seeds are among the most pa-

tient organisms in nature. Many weeds
can produce thousands of seeds per
plant per year, and those seeds might lie
dormant for decades, just waiting for the

breakfast area. A 550-gallon fish tank separates the two-story entry from the living room. If you want to control weeds, then
find where these seeds accumulate — in
“seed banks.”
“Gardeners should care because
that’s where all their seeds are coming
from,” said Ed Peachey, a weed science
specialist with Oregon State University
Extension. “If you don’t prevent weeds
from producing seeds, then you’ll wind
up with large seed banks, and always
fighting with the weeds that emerge
from those seed banks.”
Weeds are unwanted because they are
considered unattractive in manicured
yards, they spread quickly, and they
muscle aside desirable plants from life-
giving sunlight, nutrients and moisture.
“Understand what you have in your
garden and then decide what to get rid

The two-story entry can be custom-

incredibly well adapted to gardens and
they compete.”
Weed seeds or banks accumulate in
neglected lawns, near downspouts and
shaded areas, around pathways and
driveways, in newly cultivated ground
— even under decks, despite the scarcity
of sunlight.
Weeds have a number of things in
common, said Sandra Mason, an exten-
sion horticulturist with University of
Illinois Extension.
“They go through their life cycle
rapidly, flower quickly, produce vast
quantities of seeds, and have some seed
adaptations for travel by wind, water or
animals,” Mason said in a fact sheet.
Soil movement and changes in
water content invigorate annual seeds,
Peachey said. “Most weed seeds don’t
live particularly long, a few years
perhaps. But there always are a few that
can linger.”
A dandelion may produce 15,000 seeds
per year, purslane more than 52,000,
while pigweed can leave behind over
117,000, according to Colorado State
University Extension horticulturists.
Purslane and pigweed seeds can persist
in the soil for 20 and 40 years respec-
tively, they said.
One Arctic plant was successfully
germinated after its seeds lay frozen for
32,000 years in the Siberian tundra, said
Russian scientists who used radiocar-
bon dating to validate their claim.
Weed management options are many
and varied.
“Hand-weed in small spaces,”
Peachey said. “Use organic mulches to
keep weeds from emerging and produc-
ing seeds later. Create stale seed banks
by disturbing the soil, using a flaming
tool to burn off whatever weeds sprout
up, and then do your planting.”
Peachey doesn’t recommend using
chemicals in vegetable gardens unless
you’re working with more than a tenth
of an acre. “Very few (chemicals) labeled
for garden use are practical,” he said.
Be observant. When weeds make
seeds, they make them fast.
“It’s important to watch weeds
through the entire summer season,”
Peachey said. “If some get by, and if you
can’t dig them out, then at least cut off
their seed heads. It’s cheaper to get rid
of the seeds than it is to fight the weeds.”

College basketball’s
season winding down
The college basketball season is start-
ing to wind down quickly.
Today, the last two tickets will be
punched for the Final
Four. Either Butler,
North Carolina, Ken-
tucky or UCLA will
grab one spot, and ei-
ther South Carolina,
Baylor, Wisconsin or
Florida will get the
other spot.
Fast forward to
Saturday, and you brandon ogden
will have both Final
Four games. By the end of the week, we
will know which two teams will be in
competition for the national title.
The first round lacked the upsets we of-
ten desire, but there were some incredible
games in the first two rounds.
Hopefully the four games this week will
also be fun to watch.
Here are some other sporting events to
watch this week.
On TV
■ Pro basketball: Oklahoma City
at Houston, 2:30 p.m. Sunday, ABC —
This will be a matchup of the two leading
MVP candidates — Oklahoma City’s Rus-
sell Westbrook against Houston’s James
Harden. I expect both players to post a
triple-double in this one.
■ Pro basketball: Cleveland at San
Antonio, 7 p.m. Monday, TNT — Both
coaches have a tendency to randomly rest
players. Let’s hope that isn’t the case in
this one, because LeBron James against
Kawhi Leonard is a matchup to watch,
and this could also be an NBA Finals
preview.
■ Pro basketball: Golden State at
Houston, 7 p.m. Tuesday, NBATV/
Root Sports — The Rockets get two fun
games in a row. This game will feature
the two highest scoring teams in the NBA,
both averaging more than 115 points.
These teams also play in Oakland at 9:30

which game to watch ... or watch both.
■ Pro basketball: Golden State at
San Antonio, ESPN, 8:30 p.m. — These
teams just played in San Antonio two
weeks ago and rested all of the stars.
Maybe they will all play this time, but you
never know.
■ College basketball: NIT Tourna-
ment, Tuesday and Thursday, ESPN —
With the NCAA Tournament reserved for
the weekend this week, the NIT will take
center stage on Tuesday and Thursday
at Madison Square Garden. The semifi-
nals will be at 6 and 8 p.m. Tuesday, and
the championship game will be at 8 p.m.
Thursday. At the time of writing this, two
Texas teams — TCU and UT Arlington —
remained in the field.
■ High school basketball: Dick’s
Nationals, Thursday through Satur-
day, ESPNU/ESPN2/ESPN — This is
probably one of the best events each year
that a lot of people don’t know about out-
side of the high school basketball diehard
fans. But if you want to watch some of the
premier future college and NBA players,
this is your chance. Some of the players
to watch are Montverde’s R.J. Barrett;
IMG Academy’s Trevon Duval and Silvio
de Sousa; Findlay Prep’s P.J. Washington;
Oak Hill’s Billy Preston, Ty-Shon Alexan-
der, Lindell Wigginton and Matt Coleman

BY GEORGE DICKIE

‘Imaginary Mary’ posed a real acting

challenge for Jenna Elfman in
ABC sitcom
W.C. Fields once warned performers to “never work with
animals or children,” lest they be upstaged by their cute
castmates. Were he alive today, the famously irascible
vaudeville comic and actor would likely take a dim view of
CGI-animated characters, too.
And that’s not to say that Jenna Elfman is upstaged by
the animated character she plays opposite in her new ABC
comedy series “Imaginary Mary.” Quite the contrary. It
merely underscores the skill it takes to act and react to an
entity that viewers can see but the actor can’t.
In the half-hour series, which premieres Wednesday,
March 29, Elfman (“Dharma & Greg,” “Friends With
Benefits”) stars as Alice, a PR guru enjoying the fruits of
success and the freedom that singlehood affords. But when
Ben (Stephen Schneider, “You’re the Worst,” “Broad City”),
a divorced father of three, crosses her path seeking help with
his social media page, she falls hard. And that sets off alarm
bells in the commitment-phobic Alice and summons forth
her imaginary friend from childhood, Mary.
Mary, who resembles something of a cross between
the Pillsbury Dough Boy and a mogwai from the movie
“Gremlins,” would surface in times of crisis to talk Alice
through whatever predicament she happened to be in. And
now that the possibility of a long-term relationship has
entered the picture, Alice needs Mary more than ever.
“She’s my inner voice and my mentor,” explains Elfman in
a quiet corner of a Pasadena, California, hotel. “Mary kind
Jenna Elfman of mirrors what’s going on with my character. So when Alice
is a little tipsy, Mary is tipsy. And when Alice is enjoying
her melted mint chocolate chip ice cream, Mary is enjoying
the mint chocolate chip ice cream. So she’s mirroring her
and challenging her at the same time, much like our own
thought process.”
Playing opposite the CGI Mary turned out to be quite
the exercise in acting for Elfman. In addition to having to
be funny and believable as Alice, the actress also had to
focus her eyes on a point in space where Mary was supposed
to be while reacting to Mary’s lines being thrown at her by
a comedic actress off camera (on the show, she’s voiced by
Rachel Dratch of “Saturday Night Live” fame). And then
of course, when the character moved, Elfman’s gaze had to
adjust as well.
“We would sometimes tape marks on the walls,” Elfman
notes, “but obviously if she’s in this space and right here
– like sometimes she’ll be right here on the table with me so
then it’s a dimension point so there’s nowhere to put tape.
So sometimes there will be like eight to eleven eye (lines)
in a scene that I’d have to remember while also focusing on
performance (and) comedic timing.”
In the end, it was 15-hour days and a lot of mental
calisthenics, but Elfman welcomed the challenge and says
the experience made her better.
“It was great because I was ready for that next level of
challenge ... which really excited me,” she says. “It wasn’t
just the same-old. It was like definitely the next level of
game for me, which I loved.”

difference to your kids!). There are vari-
ous buxom beauties fawning over Gaston,
but the revealing clothing is quite mild.
Belle and the Beast share a kiss or two,
but no more sexual content than that.
The violence can be intense at times for
younger viewers (the Beast fighting the
wolves and later Gaston, in particular),
but nothing graphic or bloody. There is
some drinking in the tavern, but it is not
focused on much.
This movie stirred up quite a bit of
controversy before its release, thanks to
some comments the director made about
the budding romance between two men
in the movie. A lot of parents were up
in arms over what their children would
be exposed to, should they choose to see
this movie. The aforementioned content
is, in reality, very mild. It comes in the
form of some slight innuendo and quiet
comments that children will most likely
miss, much milder than viewers were
originally led to believe it would be.
Many strong lessons are communi-
cated through this film, such as looking
beyond the surface, humility and learn-
ing to love others for who they are. The
strong female lead is brave, independent
and resourceful, able to take care of
herself.
The beautiful world of princesses and
magic will leave your kids glued to the
screen, and most likely singing “Be Our
Guest” for weeks to come. This movie was
very well done and very kid-friendly. You
will enjoy it as much as your kids do!

“FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE
TO FIND THEM”
It may not be “Harry Potter” territory
exactly, but author J.K. Rowling maintains
a sense of magic as the screenwriter of
this fanciful fantasy. Eddie Redmayne
makes a fine hero as Newt Scamander,
a “magizoolgist” who loses several of his
fantastic beasts in mid-1920s New York. A
former investigator (Katherine Waterston)
who wants her job back gets in on the hunt
to retrieve them, for a variety of reasons.
Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller,
Samantha Morton, Jon Voight, Carmen
Katherine Waterston
Ejogo and Colin Farrell also are among
the picture’s stars ... as are, expectedly,
the special-effects wizards who bring the
creatures to life. DVD extras: “making-of”
documentaries; deleted scenes. ››› (PG-
13: V) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand)
“20TH CENTURY WOMEN”
Annette Bening leads an excellent cast in
writer-director Mike Mills’ (“Beginners”)
drama, which recently was Oscar-nominated
for its screenplay. The actress plays one of
several Californians in the late 1970s – with
the others portrayed by Greta Gerwig and
Elle Fanning – who all take a major role in
raising the Bening character’s son (Lucas
Jade Zumann), as the women’s respective
experiences come into focus as the story
moves back and forth in time. ››› (R: AS,
N, P) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand)
“SILENCE”
Celebrated director Martin Scorsese tackles
historical drama again, casting Adam
Driver (“Star Wars: The Force Awakens”)
and Andrew Garfield (“Hacksaw Ridge”)
as 17th-century clergymen and missionaries
who seek their mentor (Liam Neeson) in
Japan, a risky undertaking when Christianity

is viewed in some parts as a crime. The
would-be rescuers are eventually captured
and challenged to survive, prompting them
to rely very heavily on their faith. Scorsese
and his co-screenwriter, former film critic
Jay Cocks, adapted Shusaku Endo’s novel.
Ciaran Hinds appears in the largely
Japanese supporting cast. ››› (R: AS, V)
(Also on Blu-ray and On Demand)
“PATRIOTS DAY”
Though recent documentaries on the
subject have had arguably bigger impacts,
the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing is
dramatized reasonably effectively by
director Peter Berg. He reunites with star and
producer Mark Wahlberg (also of Berg’s
“Deepwater Horizon”), who plays a police
sergeant trying to help those injured by the
blasts while he seeks evidence against the
perpetrators. ››› (R: AS, P, V) (Also on

Damonfeuer
Aswang This grey,
ghoulish Filipino monster,
a cross between a
werewolf and a vampire,
had a forked tongue that
could suck the amniotic
fluid out of a pregnant
woman’s belly, as it did
in the Season 3 episode
“Mommie Dearest.”
Damonfeuer This
horned, scaly, dragon-like
beast from the first season
dwelled in caves, hoarded
treasure and breathed fire,
a combustion of the fat
from the humans it ate.
Gedachtnis Esser With
a head shaped like an
octopus, this monster from
Season 4 was a thief and
a spy that could use its
tentacles to burrow into
Gedachtnis its victim’s head and steal
Esser their memories, leaving
them dead or with severe
amnesia.
Gelumcaedus One of
the scariest of wesen, this
alligator-like beast had
razor-sharp teeth, thick,
green bumpy skin and
strength so great that it
could rip a man limb from
limb or even shake them
apart. Like gators, they
went through periods of
hibernation and could be
found in dark subterranean
roosts like sewers.
Hexenbiest With white
hair and decayed skin,
these female witch-like
creatures were adept at
casting spells and whipping
up alchemical potions that
could manipulate people’s
thoughts, perceptions and
emotions.

about it, and I wasn’t disap-
pointed. This is some of the best
catfish I’ve had anywhere.
I was worried that as late as
we had arrived, the buffet might
have been out of some stuff, or at
least running low, but the staff
was constantly replenishing
everything on that hot bar. And
I wish I could have tried it all —
and plan to on subsequent visits
— but there’s such an abundance
of meats and sides to choose
from that I feared I wouldn’t
have room for dessert if I went
back for another round.
It was hard to choose from the
many tantalizing options on the
dessert bar, but I ultimately went
with a slice of Jell-O No Bake
Strawberry Cheesecake and a
piece of German chocolate cake.
“This is how you wished the
desserts tasted at Golden Cor-
ral,” I said to my friend, refer-
encing those beautiful-looking
desserts that somehow never
taste all that great.
These desserts, by contrast,
are every bit as delicious as they
look.
If I had one complaint about
this restaurant, it would have to
be the pop music being played
in the dining room. Or maybe
that was pop music being played

Wendy’s Misfits cares for unwanted animals
Nonprofit
group rescues,
provides medical
care and helps
with adoptions
By STEPHANIE STEVENS
The Lufkin News
Wendy Fulghum never
thought she would be the founder
of a nonprofit organization that
helps unwanted animals through
rescue, medical care and adop-
tion, but “things just happen,”
she said.
“It started out that I would find
a dog here and there and ask for
donations to take them to the
vet,” Fulghum said. “Everybody
told me I needed to start a Face-
book page, and it snowballed
from there. I never thought in a
million years it would be where
it is now.”
The organization was started
in April 2016 and has helped
save more than 100 animals. It
provides food, vetting, kennels —
anything animals need.
Wendy’s Misfits rescues the
worst of the worst, according to
Fulghum.
“It started out that I would find a
dog here and there and ask for
donations to take them to the vet.
Everybody told me I needed to start
a Facebook page, and it snowballed
from there. I never thought in a
million years it would be where it
is now. The animals that normally
would be euthanized at a typical
shelter because they need so much
care and take a lot of time for
recovery are the ones we rescue.
Everyone deserves a chance.”
lufkindailynews.com
“The animals that normally
would be euthanized at a typi-
cal shelter because they need
so much care and take a lot of
time for recovery are the ones we
rescue,” she said. “Everyone de-
serves a chance.”
The group once rescued a
puppy with two broken legs and
raised money for his surgery.
They also found a puppy with an
eyeball bulging out, caused by
blunt force trauma; his eye had
to be removed and he’s deaf, but
“now he is doing great and is in a
loving home,” Fulghum said.
“I have a heart for animals,”
she said. “If I see one that is hurt,
I want to do everything I can to
try and help it.”
The organization has also
sponsored several spays for dog
owners, and Fulghum said the
group hopes to offer a free spay-
and-neuter event in Lufkin.
Fulghum doesn’t limit her
kindness to animals. She said
God led her to help a young CONTRIBUTED

store, putting gloves on her year-
and-a-half-old son’s hands,”
Fulghum said. “So I knew she
was getting ready to walk some-
where.”
Fulghum offered her a ride
and discovered she lived in a tiny
shack. A few days later, she saw
the lady walking down the road.
“I thought, this is twice in a
week — something’s got to give,”
she said. “So I turned around,
and we started talking. She lit-
erally had nothing except for a
twin-size bed she and her son
were sleeping on. It was heart-
breaking. There was no heat, no
air. I posted this need on Wendy’s
Misfits’ Facebook page. Just see-
ing what my supporters do for
animals, I knew they would be
willing to help a human.”
After word got around, the
young woman had everything
she needed, including cash, a car,
food, clothing, a bed and heaters.
She used the cash to pay for day
care and get caught up on bills.
The woman even donated
items to a family who had lost ev-
erything in a house fire.
“So she has paid it forward and
is doing great,” Fulghum said.
Deborah Winston, another lo-
cal volunteer dedicated to help-
ing animals, said Fulghum has
the ability to bring a community
of strangers together to help a
complete stranger and her child.
Winston said Fulghum even
made sure the child had a Christ-
mas tree with gifts, and she made
it happen within 10 days.
“I think she’s an asset to our
community, going above and be-
yond, not only helping the aban-
doned dogs in our community

LHS junior helps students ‘Count on Success’

Program designed need extra help in math, and we

this would give me great experi-
ence in explaining,” she said.

second-graders at
Dunbar Primary
By STEPHANIE STEVENS
The Lufkin News
Lufkin High School junior
Aman Khan started the “Count
on Success” program to instill
an excitement about math in sec-
ond-graders at Dunbar Primary.
Khan and other Lufkin High
School volunteers from the Na-
tional Honor Society and Student
Teacher Cadets work with two
or three kids each every Tues-
day and Thursday after school.
He started the program at Dun-
bar because it was the primary
school he attended.
The session starts with a math-
centered book that has interac-
tive questions. Afterward, stu-
dents play a board or card game
together where they do simple
addition or place value to earn
points and win.
“The idea is to instill excite-
ment for math,” Khan said. “I
used to play these games when I
was younger, and they changed
the way I thought about math and
made me like it. We are working
books with a donation from The
Children’s Clinic of Lufkin.
Every day, high school stu-
dents tutor about 20 second-grad-
ers.
National Honor Society mem-
ber Travis Spore sat in the cafete-
ria, challenging students to draw
a robot using two rectangular
prisms, two cylinders and a cube.
“When I was a kid, I always
looked up to the high schoolers,”
Spore said. “I really believe in
education and that it fosters the
future, so I thought I could be of
benefit for these guys and devel-
op their skills and create a men-
torship.”
Khan agreed that he didn’t
think he would connect with the
younger students as much as he
has.
“I expected it to be fun, but I
feel as if this is more of a mentor-
ship or role model relationship
developing,” he said. “It’s really
paid off because I can see a differ-
ence in some of them in just how
fast they are able to do the math
and visualize it in their heads.”
Lufkin High School senior Au-
drye Hammonds, who is in the
Teacher Cadet program, said
Count on Success has made her
“want to be a teacher even more.”
The five-week program started
in February, and only a couple
weeks in, Hammonds reported
a positive difference in the stu-
dents.
“They know more each time I
come,” she said. “So the knowl-
edge is sticking. They are becom-
ing faster in their responses, and
they actually tell me what and
how they are doing it now. We’ve
only been doing it for a couple
weeks, and to see this much im-
provement already, it shows this
program is helping kids.”
Dunbar Primary Principal
Dorinda Wade said second-grad-
ers have greatly benefited from
the program.
“They are excited about math,”
she said. “They want to come to
math club. Even kids who aren’t
in it are asking to come. We are
seeing a lot of excitement, and
kids are talking about math,
which is great.” ANDY ADAMS/The Lufkin News

Good Samaritans help flooded neighbor

By VICKY CAMARILLO
The Lufkin News
Several good Samaritans band-
ed together on a holy night to
part the seas in Lufkin resident
William Mount’s house.
Mount’s house flooded after a
water heater malfunction while
he and his girlfriend, Pat Guinn,
were at a Christmas Eve party at
his niece Gail Jones’ house.
Around 7 p.m., the couple’s
neighbor Virginia Brown called
Guinn, saying the two had better
get home quick and “bring a lot
Mount and Guinn’s next-door
neighbor, Kalvin Buckley, had
noticed water leaking from the
house.
Mount said it was “pretty rot-
ten” — not least because of the
holiday — to find ankle-high wa-
ter in several rooms in his house.
“There were about 4 or 5 inch-
es of water on the floor of my
bedroom, closet, spare room and
living room,” Mount said.
But some of Mount’s neigh-
bors lent a helping hand.
His nephew, Scott, turned off
the water and called Mount’s
from the home with Shop-Vacs
before Servpro workers arrived
an hour or two later. Brown
helped Guinn clean the house for
10 days.
Servpro worked on Mount’s
house for five days, taking out
water and pouring it on the front
lawn, setting up fans and humidi-
fiers to dry out the house, and
drilling holes in the home’s base-
boards. For the next two weeks,
Mount and Guinn stayed at Gail
and Cecil Jones’ home; Keith
Jones even offered one of his
houses for the couple to stay in.
“He didn’t have to say a thing
in the beginning, and he did,”
Mount said. “If it hadn’t been for
him, I would’ve lost my whole
house.”
Mount, who moved to Lufkin
from Arizona in 2007, said the
support that he and Guinn re-
ceived from their neighbors was
“something that I’ve never expe-
rienced in my life.”
“Never in my whole life had
I ever figured people would do
that,” he said. “We can’t thank
them enough. I don’t think this

Volunteer always willing to lend a helping hand
Lumbley can
reflect on personal
experiences
when it comes to
helping others
By VICKY CAMARILLO
The Lufkin News
Kara Lumbley is drawn to giv-
ing to low-income families and
abused or neglected children for
a simple reason.
“I’ve been in their situation,”
she said. “Even as poor as I’ve
been — because, trust me, I’ve
been really poor — we always
made sure that we did something
for somebody else, because I
know what it’s like to be on that
really bad end.”
Lumbley has contributed to
Harold’s House-East Texas Alli-
ance for Children, Lufkin Com-
munity Partners, other local
charities, homeless people and
multiple individuals.
Lumbley is a CPA for FTR
Equipment, a published author,
a wife and a mother of two. But
when she was single and preg-
nant with her first child, she had
to choose which month to have
water on and which month to
have electricity; she couldn’t af-
ford to keep the heat on, so she
slept under every item of cloth-
ing she owned. She put herself
through college and earned a
bachelor’s degree in accounting
with honors.
Lumbley said she was always
a big reader, and publishing nov-
els was one of her “bucket list”
items. She checked off that ac-
complishment in 2016, with two
mystery novels under her belt
and more to come.
And she puts her book royal-
ties to good use.
She has bought bunk beds and
bedding for kids in foster care, as
well as school supplies for a col-
lege student; she bought decora-
tions for a teacher at Bonner El-
ementary in Hudson who wanted
her classroom to be more inviting
to her students; and she and her
kids give local homeless people
bags with thick socks, military
blankets, hygiene products, non-
perishable food, water bottles
and Bible verses.
She also adopts a child through
Lufkin Community Partners —
an organization that assists Child
Protective Services in providing
necessary items for foster fami-
lies — to buy them Christmas
gifts every year, and she recently
donated superhero capes and
masks to abused children under-
going examinations at Harold’s
House to brighten their day after
a scary process. One girl didn’t
take off her cape for four days,
Lumbley said.
“Even though she still has hard times
as her family has grown, instead of
selling the things she could, she
always gives it away. As long as her
family’s main things are paid and
they have food, the rest she willingly
gives away. She is constantly giving
to charities without giving her
name. ... When she sees someone
in need, she helps.”

“I have my own job and I am
doing better now, so whenever I
do get checks in from my books,
I always give that toward those
(causes),” Lumbley said. “It’s ex-
tra money, which we could use
in savings, of course, but other
people could use it more.”
According to Lumbley’s friend
Amanda Smith, these efforts are

Community health worker coordinates services
Angelina County
Connects helps
people find the
assistance they need
By STEVE KNIGHT
The Lufkin News
She’s part of the team that con-
nects people with the assistance
they need.
Donna Grimes is a community
health worker at the Angelina
County and Cities Health District
who oversees a new program
called Angelina County Con-
nects.
“I coordinate services,” Grimes
said. “It could be all kinds of ser-
vices — whatever someone who
comes into the Health District
needs. A lot of (my clients) come
from our primary health care de-
partment as far as coordinating
outside care, because the Health
District can only carry their
health care so far. Then, we have
to refer out to different facilities
in order for them to get surgery,
cancer treatment or whatever the
situation may be. That’s where I
come in.”
Angelina County Connects is a
program that helps families find
and apply for community social
services, such as health care,
food and housing.
The program assists residents
in signing up for health insur-
ance under the Affordable Care
Act, as well as Medicaid and
Children’s Health Insurance Pro-
gram. The program also provides
hands-on assistance with appli-
cations, eligibility screening and
documentation needs.
The program has been estab-
lished for about a year, Grimes
said.
“It was created by the Health
District and the Temple Foun-
dation with this concept — An-
gelina County Connects is con-
necting our clients to the services
that they need,” she said. “We do

Pollok businessman
to help veterans
and to join the fight
against breast cancer
By VICKY CAMARILLO
The Lufkin News
When asked what drew him to
host events benefiting cancer pa-
tients and veterans, Ronnie Kelly
said, “That’s how I was raised.”
Kelly, a Pollok resident, owns
Kelly’s Truck Parts in Nacogdo-
ches. He said he’s had customers,
close friends and family mem-
bers who have battled breast can-
cer, and that inspired him to help
organize golf tournaments for
the past two years at Woodland
Hills Golf Club in Nacogdoches.
In those two years, the tourna-
ments have raised about $6,000
for cancer patients in Nacogdo-
ches County, Kelly said.
Through HDA Truck Pride,
a vehicle parts supply chain of
which Kelly’s Truck Parts is a
member, Kelly learned about
the Wyakin Warrior Foundation,
which offers mentoring, student
financial aid and job opportuni-
ties to wounded and injured post-
9/11 veterans.
Kelly’s involvement with the
foundation began with a simple
donation, but that contribution
has grown. Two years ago, Kelly

District itself, but now we can do
Medicaid, food stamps, (Tempo-
rary Assistance for Needy Fami-
lies), all in one spot. Our clients
don’t have to go to different agen-
cies in town. We do that all here.”
Once they get those services,
staff educators Paula Botsford
and Ann Watson provide clients
with instructions on how to use
those services, she said.
“We don’t just give a client a
piece of paper and make them
figure out what to do with it,”
Grimes said.
“If they need a primary health
care physician, that’s when I
come in. I visit with them about
what their health issues are. I try
to figure out, knowing some of
the physicians in town and their
personalities, (the best match) to
connect those people — if they’re
Spanish speakers, I try to con-
nect them with someone who
speaks Spanish.
“Whatever their situation is, I
try to connect them to the right
physician. That’s where the ‘con-
nects’ comes into this depart-
ment — connecting people to
those services and teaching them
how to use them.”
Grimes already had an exten-
sive medical background, includ-
ing 25 years of medical practice
management in Lufkin. Then,
she saw a public service an-
nouncement that would take her
on a different path.
“One morning I was getting
ready for work and I heard a pub-
lic service announcement for a
community health worker,” she
said. “I wrote the number down
and put it in my purse. It resur-
faced a couple of times and I final-
ly called the number. It happened
to be a lady at (Stephen F. Austin)
that I had worked with many,
many years placing (physician
assistant) students from (the Uni-
versity of Texas Medical Branch)
in Galveston for rotations here.
She wondered what I had been
doing and what I was doing now
because one of the doctors I used
to work for retired and I moved
began partnering with East Tex-
as Truck Center in Nacogdoches
to present truck and diesel drag
shows at Pine Valley Raceway;
the truck shows have raised
about $17,000, Kelly said.
He said he attributes that suc-
cess to his customers who have
shown their support. Another
golf tournament is lined up for
August and a truck show is set
for October or November, with
exact dates to be determined.
“I’ve had relatives and a lot of
good friends that are vets, and we
love our country and we love to
support the people that protect
it, so we do anything we possi-
bly can to support them,” Kelly
said. “Anything we can do to help
those who have helped us, I’m
always willing to help with. I’ve
had a lot of friends (battling) not
just breast cancer, but cancer as a
whole, who have fought and won,
and that’s got a big spot in my
heart, as well.”
Pollok has also directed his ef-
forts to local education.
A Central High School and Ste-
phen F. Austin graduate, Kelly
has served on the Central school
board since 2007 and is currently
the board president.
He has also coached and spon-
sored local baseball and basket-
ball teams.
In a 2013 Lufkin News ques-
tionnaire for school board candi-
dates, Kelly wrote that he’d been
a Pollok resident for almost 40
years and was a father to three
boys in the Central school dis-
trict, adding that he and his fam-
ily were “100 percent Central.”

on to something else. I decided to
investigate it and see.”
She was hesitant to commit
to the class at first. The class
was 160 hours, she said, and it
had been a long time since her
last stint in school. She said her
friend from SFA convinced her it
was the right thing for her.
After her certification, she said
she approached Health District
Administrator Sharon Shaw for
a position.
Thanks to an Expanded Pri-
mary Health Care Program grant
from the Texas Department of
State Health Services, the Health
District established a preventive
health care center in 2014, which
offers comprehensive women’s
health care, including gynecolog-
ic and family planning services.
The expanded services —
which include breast and cervi-
cal cancer screenings, cervical
dysplasia treatment, family plan-
ning, health education, preven-
tive health screenings for diabe-
tes and hypertension, acute and
chronic illness diagnoses and
treatment, laboratory and phar-
maceutical services, and case
management by a certified com-
munity health worker — are of-
fered in a clinic on Shands Drive
in Lufkin. The building was pro-
vided by the T.L.L. Temple Foun-
dation.
The grant required a commu-
nity health worker on the staff.
Grimes was hired.

I started the first year, I was in
the women’s health care center,
overseeing that program. We
diagnosed many women in that
department. We added things to
the program. We had some equip-
ment donated by local OB/GYNs
so we could do further testing.
“Then, Ms. Shaw approached
me about coming to this depart-
ment and working in Angelina
County Connects. It truly has
been a blessing for me.”
Grimes expressed how she felt
on that first day of working in the
Health District.
“When I walked through the
doors of the Health District that
first day, it was like God spoke to
me and said, ‘Here’s your mis-
sion. You do what you see fit with
it.’ It comes very easy to work
with people, because I was a vic-
tim of sitting on the other side of

not aware that she was being test-
ed until after she received the ini-
tial results, which revealed there
was a 95 percent chance she was
a match.
“So I told Becky, and she asked
if she could tell Bruce,” Rose
said. “According to her, he just
broke down in tears when she
told him. He was very thankful
and appreciative.”
She said her testing and cross
matching was complete around
mid-2016, but Bruce Lanham was
not healthy enough for surgery
at the time. She said his health
was sufficient in December, so
they decided to set the date. They
went into surgery on Feb. 2 at the
Memorial Hermann Transplant
Center, and as of mid-February,
they were both doing well, she
said.
“His energy is up, his color is
better, his counts are really good,
and the kidney is functioning
perfectly, filtering toxins as it
should,” she said.
Rose said she would like the
public to know a donor does not
necessarily have to be related to a
person to be a match for an organ
donation.
“When I asked for a packet, I
thought there was a 10-million-to-
one chance I would be a match,”
she said. “We had no relation and
were friends for only five years.
Even male to female does not
matter. If it is in your heart, try
it and see.”
She said she is satisfied with
the decision she made.
“I am very happy for him be-
cause it changed his life in a posi-
tive way: no more chemo, or the
pain related to that. I will func-
tion fine with one kidney, and
so will he,” she said. “I am most
happy that it is a stress reliever
for Becky, so she is not worried
about losing her husband years
before she should.”
In another act of kindness,
Rose funded the construction of
a home for her parents on their
property in the Bugscuffle com-
munity near Cushing.
Rose’s mother, Joyce Hooper,
said her husband, Fred, worked
and she stayed home to raise their
five daughters. Rose described
her family as “close-knit.”
She said she was raised in an
old home that her parents moved
onto the property, and she de-
cided to have the new house built
because of a promise she made to
mother.
“I have been blessed my entire
life. I have been through some
things I would not wish on my
worst enemies, but they did not
make me bitter — they made me
better,” Rose said. “So I have al-

Therapy dogs bring ‘smiles to people,’ handlers say

Good Shepherd
Pet Therapy visits
people in nursing
homes, hospitals
and special
education classes
By STEPHANIE STEVENS
The Lufkin News

The purpose of Good Shep-

herd Pet Therapy, Patsy Dunks
said, is “all about bringing smiles
to people.”
The group consists of regis-
tered therapy dogs and their han-
dlers who visit people in nurs-
ing homes, hospitals and special
education classes. All of the dogs
are registered with the Alliance
of Therapy Dogs to ensure they
have the disposition to interact
safely with people in those envi-
ronments.
Dunks started the group about
20 years ago after her husband,
Wally, was in an accident. They
met a woman who sold German
Shepherds and introduced them
to a pet therapy group.

“I tell people it’s the most rewarding
but also the most depressing thing
you will ever do. When you go to the
nursing home and visit someone
who is not communicative and you
see an empty room without pictures,
you know that person has been
neglected or doesn’t have family.
You’re bringing a bright spot to their
day with the dogs, but it’s hard to
see people in those conditions.”
want to talk to anybody will talk
to us because of the dogs,” Ar-
nold said. “They will tell us about
dogs they had when they were
kids. Every so often a patient
will miss their dogs more than
they miss their people, and it’s so
funny.”
One day at Woodland Heights
Medical Center, Arnold walked
past a closed door and a man
came tearing out at her, asking
if she would visit his daughter in
the room who’d had a stroke.
Arnold brought her Boston
terrior, Boo, to the room, “and
the young woman was just
thrashing and blabbering in her
bed, totally incoherent,” Arnold
said. “I picked Boo up, put him
on the bed and took her hand to
pet him. I let go of her hand and,
amazingly, she continued to pet
the dog.”
When the young woman fell
asleep, Arnold left the room.
“The father was standing out
in the hallway with big tears roll-
ing down his face,” she said. “He
said, ‘Do you know she’s been
here almost two weeks and this is
the first time her stats have gone
level?’ The dogs communicate
and offer comfort to people in a
way humans can’t.”
Member Donna Work said
research has shown that inter-
acting with pets helps to lower
stress levels and blood pressure
and lengthen life.

are unresponsive, they respond
to the dogs,” she said. “The peo-
ple don’t seem to feel pressured.
The dogs are just here to be loved
and give love.”
The group visits the Salvation
Army Adult Day Center every
month.
“We know when they are going
to come, and we can’t wait,” cli-
ent Katy Freeman said. “We like
the dogs. They are friendly and
fun and even do tricks for us. It
brightens my day real good.”
Her friend Linda Davis agreed.
“We love the dogs,” Davis said.
“They make us happy.” She bent
down to pet Boo and laughed
when he licked her hand.
Salvation Army worker Emily
Terrill said the dogs are great for
the patients.
“It’s the communication that
has gone on for years where the
pet is a human’s best friend,”
Terrill said. “They give them a
lot of unconditional love. I see the
patients perk up as soon as they
walk through the doors.”
She thanked the group for
visiting and “making our day
brighter.”
Prospective therapy dogs go
through a testing and observa-
tion process before being regis-
tered. Those interested in getting
their dog registered and joining
the group can go to therapydogs.

‘We have a heart for outreach’

By VICKY CAMARILLO
The Lufkin News Stephanie Olford mentors kids, could bring to them.”
Olford also revived a food pan-

A love for serving people in
need led Stephanie Olford and
her husband 1,500 miles away
from their home in Trenton, New
Jersey, about four years ago.
Since taking the reins at J.D.’s
Center of Hope in Lufkin, Olford
has worked to build solidarity in
the community and mentor kids
from low-income families.
Olford and her husband, Clif-
ford, who headed a church in
Trenton for 20 years, moved to
Lufkin in 2012 to assume leader-
ship of New Zion Baptist Church
and J.D.’s Center of Hope, which
was then called H.O.P.E. Center
of North Lufkin, after the pastor
of the church passed away.
The Olfords’ connection to
the area, and to the church, be-
gan several years earlier, when
Clifford learned he had an older
brother he’d never met, J.D. Ol-
ford, living in Lufkin. The couple
then began traveling regularly to
East Texas.
When they received the offer
in Lufkin, Olford had just gotten
a promotion at work and remod-
eled her home; plus, there was
the prospect of her husband leav-
ing his job of 15 years, as well as
the martial arts school he ran.
The decision to move to Lufkin
was a difficult one, not least be-
cause of the distance from their
works to build community and
solidarity at J.D.’s Center of Hope
at the church and the center, she
said. Community outreach was
nothing new to the couple, who
used to travel around Trenton
to give hot meals and clothing to
homeless people.
“We have a heart for outreach,”
Olford said. “We’re just excited
for what we do and reaching out
to all types of people. There’s no
specific color, because God never
looks at one color. Everybody
means something to somebody,
“She is a very intelligent woman,
and as you listen to her speak, it is
all about the love for the kids. Our
Lufkin Rotary Club made a donation
to the Blue Santa program, and I
was able to spend time with the
kids under her care and witnessed
firsthand how she interacts with
each child and how much they love
her. She has one of the biggest
and if we don’t come together to
help get them on the right path,
we’re going to lose a lot of chil-
dren,” Olford said.
Among the child-oriented pro-
grams Olford has implemented
are an after-school tutoring pro-
gram that currently serves 50
kids, the Tots on the Move Child
Education Center and a summer
camp that had 86 kids last year.
“We got a chance to take the
kids to SeaWorld last year —
try at the center, which gives
away groceries from 10 a.m.-1

fourth Thursday of every month,
and started “matinee” events.
The center tries to host a matinee
once a month, offering hot meals,
movies and games.
In the past several months,
Olford has created events such
as October Fest, an afternoon of
games, entertainment and food;
a Community Formal Ball to give
local adults an affordable and
elegant night out; and, most re-
cently, a community brunch with
family entertainment.
Valena Spradley, an official
with Austin Bank and past presi-
dent of the Lufkin Rotary Club,
said she’s been impressed by
Olford’s success in the few years
she’s been in Lufkin.
Spradley said she first met Ol-
ford while serving on the United
Way budget board, and the two
were both part of Blue Santa, a
program by the Lufkin Police De-
partment to give Christmas gifts
to families in need.
“She is a very intelligent
woman, and as you listen to her
speak, it is all about the love for
the kids,” Spradley said. “Our

tion to the Blue Santa program,

family.
“We prayed about it for six
months, to the point where it hit
me that I still wasn’t giving my
husband an answer,” Olford said.
“Dec. 25, we had to make a deci-
sion, because the 27th we had to
be on the road to drive to Lufkin,
and I had not packed at all. It was
the 26th when my daughter said,
‘Ma, you’re not packing?’ And
that’s when it really clicked, the
reality that we were transition-
ing coming to Lufkin.”
The Olfords have since done
“a lot of plowing and changing”

and it’s important in our eyes —
not just with the center here; we
also do a fellowship out there,
bringing the churches together,
every denomination together.”
She said she aims to spread a
message of unity to children.
“Our children are our future,

come to find out that a lot of
parents have never been out of
Lufkin, and we thought they were
just kidding, but they were for
real,” Olford said. “So we stayed
for about two days for them to en-
joy something different and have
an opportunity to see what life
witnessed firsthand how she in-
teracts with each child and how
much they love her. She has one
of the biggest and kindest hearts
I’ve ever been around, and she
wants every child under her care
to thrive.
“Her group works hard to
teach each of the children that
they can do more and be more.
She won’t settle for average. She
wants them to be the best.”

He said those interested in vol-

tact him at 240-5246.
“We start with nothing,” Craw-

get out to find donations, but we
also donate a lot of this out of our
own pockets. There are a lot of
people, though, who donate their
time and money to us.”

“We usually do 600-800 pounds

somewhere around 300 pounds

“Once you go see a wish be

A Hudson-area woman spends

people.
Glenda Davis and her hus-
band, Tom, own a 20-acre tract of
land off Highway 103 west, where
they have not only placed sev-
eral rental homes to help the less
fortunate, but also established a
“mini animal shelter.”
Davis, now 65, has been taking
in stray and abandoned animals
for much of her adult life and is
currently the caregiver for 12
small dogs and 10 cats.
She said she has dedicated her
life to showing kindness in as
many ways as she can because
of the support she had after her
parents passed away in a car ac-
cident when she was young.
“I was orphaned at 12 years
old, and it just really changed
my life,” Davis said. “People re-
ally came out and helped us big
time with lots of food and stuff
like that. I had never seen that
kind of outpouring of kindness.
From that point on, it changed
me and I just wanted to give back
to people, and I have always loved
animals.”
She said she routinely helps
her tenants, whom she views as
neighbors rather than renters.
“I could walk up and down this
road and point out the houses
of all the people I have helped
or tried to help,” she said. “(The
wife of one of my neighbors)
passed away and he could not
depend on his family, so he put
me in control of his checking ac-
count and I paid his bills for him.
For him to trust me that much, I
thought was nice.”
She said some other neighbors
were previously without a vehi-
cle, and she helped them find one
for cheap.
“They came to me crying be-
cause they did not have a vehicle,

and she pays me every month.
I don’t even keep up with it be-
cause I told her to do it, and she
pays me regularly. I would trust
her with anything I have.”
She said the same neighbor
recently came to her with an in-
jured cat, and Davis helped her
with the veterinarian costs.
“Her cat’s leg was broken in
three places and had to have a
cast, then it got infected,” she
said. “It was either pay up front
to have all this fixed, put the cat
down or have the leg amputated.
So I paid it because I cannot look
into the eyes of a little animal and
say, ‘You are not worth X amount
of dollars.’ I just cannot do that.”
In another act of compassion,
Davis said an elderly friend had a
sick cat, Zelda, that was going to
be euthanized, but Davis stepped
up to help.
“That cat was her life,” she
said. “I went to the vet with her
and said, ‘We are not going to
put the cat down.’ Her bill was
like $500, which I paid and pretty
much forgot about. She told me
she was going to pay me back af-
ter she sold her house, and sure
enough, about three years later
she paid me back.”
She said that she rents her
homes to those who need help.
“I have rental property and
am able to help those who need
it with lower rent,” she said. “I CASEY SIZEMORE/The Lufkin News

Zavalla, delivers more than 400
flower vases every month to plac-
es in Zavalla, Huntington and
Lufkin.
The process starts in the
spring, when she preorders zin-
nia seeds from a seed catalog.
After they have bloomed, she
picks some and transports them
in small vases to businesses, re-
tirement communities and more.
Her routine begins every Mon-
day, when she takes flowers to
grocery stores, gas stations, post
offices and school secretaries.
She continues on Tuesdays, stop-
ping by beauty shops and other
places that weren’t open the pre-
vious day.
When the zinnias stop bloom-
ing in the summer, Johnson buys
violas and pansies. In between
the two seasons, she picks wild-
flowers that grow along the roads
or lilies and daffodils from her
yard.
“I have a flower ministry all
year long,” Johnson said. “The
reason I do it is not to get people
to like me; I want people to look
at these flowers and know God
made them and appreciate God’s
love through the flowers. And I
think it works.”
At the PineCrest Retirement
Community, she brings 31 vases
of flowers to people in the health
care unit. After Johnson delivers
the tiny vases with fresh flowers
and water, the nursing staff dis-
tributes them.
A resident and former pastor,
Bob Lewis, said Johnson “never
fails to bring flowers every Mon-
day — that’s dedication.” STEPHANIE STEVENS/The Lufkin News

an unbelievable lady. She’s been

In addition to the flower minis-
try, Johnson has set up four Little
Free Libraries in Zavalla that al-

and leave one in its place.

By CASEY SIZEMORE
The Lufkin News
As Celebrate Recovery enters
its 10th year in Lufkin, the hus-
band-and-wife founders of the
addiction recovery group also
volunteer their time to help the
community in other ways.
Celebrate Recovery ministry
leaders Carol and Jim Riggs es-
tablished the program after Jim
Riggs noticed the need in the
community for an anonymous
support group.
their addictions.
“One of the things Judge
White told us is they needed sup-
port groups in the community
for people who are in drug court
and other people who are dealing
with addiction,” Jim Riggs said.
“We found Celebrate Recov-
ery and it seemed appealing, so I
went to a training session in Dal-
las, and we got the people here at
First Christian Church interest-
ed in the program, so we started
offering it.”
Jim Riggs said Celebrate Re-
covery is now a global, faith-
based recovery program in its
25th year of operation, with more
than 30,000 churches around the
world hosting it.
He said the program began in
California when recovering alco-
holic John Baker, whose drink-
ing led to his wife leaving him,
spoke to his pastor about the
stigma surrounding addiction —
even within the church.
“Later on, (Baker’s) family got
back together and they were at-
tending church,” Jim Riggs said.
“One day he was talking to his
pastor and said when he spoke of
his addiction, folks wanted to talk
about football or anything but his
problems. He told his pastor that
when he spoke of Jesus Christ in
AA meetings, they were not in-
terested at all, so there ought to
be program in a church setting
for people with addictions.”
The pastor, Rick Warren, then
encouraged Baker to start the
program; thus, Celebrate Recov-
ery was established, Jim Riggs
said.
Baker used the 12-step pro-
gram commonly used in addic-
tion support groups, but added
relevant biblical verses to each
step, according to Jim Riggs.
For example, the first step to
recovery is admitting one’s pow-
erlessness over addiction and in-
ability to manage his or her life,
and Celebrate Recovery’s corre-
sponding Bible verse is Romans
7:18, which states, “For I know
that good itself does not dwell in
me, that is, in my sinful nature.
For I have the desire to do what
is good, but I cannot carry it out.”
Jim Riggs said the program
helps give people support with
their “hurts, habits or hang-ups.”
“It’s not just for people with
chemical or alcohol addiction,”
Jim Riggs said. “That might be
anger, compulsive spending or
sex addictions.”
Carol Riggs said she has ob-
served people seeking support
for food addiction, as well.
“There are several women
coming who are struggling with
food addiction, so the program is
really for anybody with any ad-
diction,” she said.
Jim Riggs said the group
meets each Friday at 6:30 p.m. in
“It may be 12 people one night
and as many as 25 on other
nights,” he said.
Carol and Jim Riggs not only
minister for Celebrate Recovery,
but they also volunteer for other
local programs for the better-
ment of the community.
For more than 23 years, Jim
Riggs has volunteered two days
a week as a male role model for
Lufkin ISD, and Carol Riggs
teaches a “Boundaries” class at
The Mosaic Center in Lufkin.
“Setting boundaries is helping
people recognize what in their
lives they are responsible for and
what they are not responsible
for,” Carol Riggs said. “It’s all
about setting boundaries and re-
lationships.”
She also volunteers her time
for the Kiwanis Club of Lufkin,
of which she is a member.
Both Carol and Jim Riggs
thanked First Christian Church
for providing the location and
supporting the Celebrate Recov-
ery program. They are active
members of the church.

Agency strives to build, enhance well-being of people

By STEVE KNIGHT
The Lufkin News
Innovative Homes of Deep East Texas offers special assistance to people with intellectual, developmental disabilities
“Helping people is what we do
best.”
That’s the motto of Innova-
tive Homes of Deep East Texas
Inc., which was founded in 1993
by pastor Andro Branch, James
Branch and Desmond Charlton.
The agency doesn’t construct
homes, like the name might sug-
gest, but the goal is to build and
enhance the well-being of people
with intellectual and develop-
mental disabilities in home-like
settings.
“We are a health care pro-
vider,” said James Branch, who
serves as human resources di-
rector. “We provide services to
special needs individuals — ev-
erything from vocation learning
to medical services. We provide
the group homes that they live
in. We provide specialized school-
ing for those with special needs.
Whatever their needs are is what
we provide.
“We have a school on North
Raguet Street where we teach in-
dividuals with special needs life
skills — how to balance a check-
book, how to set a table, how to do
things that will help them exist
independently.”
The agency’s home- and STEVE KNIGHT/The Lufkin News

community-based services offer
special assistance to people with
intellectual and developmental
disabilities who are at risk of
placement in state supported liv-
ing centers. The programs assist
individuals and their families by
providing residential support
services, program advocacy,
nursing, day habilitation, trans-
portation, respite and other sup-
port services to help the client
remain in the community.
Other support services, ac-
cording to the agency’s website,
include: adaptive aids, support
consultation, physical therapy,
social work, occupational ther-
apy, dietary and behavioral sup-
port, dental treatment, minor
home modifications, residential
support services, speech/lan-
guage pathology, audiology, sup-
ported employment, supported
home living, supervised living
and monthly financial manage-
ment services.
The agency employs about 100
people.
“We provide the very same
services as facilities such as the
Burke center and the Lufkin
State Supported Living Center,”
said Andro Branch, who serves
as chief executive officer. “We’ve
been in business for 23 or 24
years. Over the years we’ve seen
a lot of growth.”
When an individual enters the
HCS program, employees deter-
mine the level of need and iden-
tify an individual plan of care.
The level of need is determined
by completing an Inventory for
Client and Agency Planning, a
scoring instrument used to iden-
tify strengths and weaknesses.
The instrument also provides
the program with important in-
formation about the level of care
the individual will receive while
attending the HCS program.
The Individual Plan of Care is
established by a programming
team of professionals, which
consists of the individual, nurse,
legally authorized representa-
tive and other professionals who
may be important in developing
the plan. Services are established
based on recommendations from
the team.
The individual’s needs and de-
sires also play a role in develop-
ing a plan. The team then over-
sees the plan.
Pictured from left, Desmond Charlton, James Branch and pastor Andro Branch, founders of Innovative Homes of Deep East Texas Inc.
“The program started very
small,” James Branch said. “It’s
grown into a business that’s able
to provide employment to a lot of
people in our local community.
We provide not only the employ-
ment but also the training they
need to work in this industry.”
Employees are routinely in-
serviced on all medical issues, be-
havior management and all other
areas for caring for individuals
with special needs.
“What’s so good about that is
they are able to take that train-
ing and work for health care pro-
viders such as the Lufkin State
Supported Living Center,” James
Branch said. “They are able to
provide a living for their families.
That’s something that we’re very
proud of — to be a creator of jobs
and open doors for individuals.”
In 1993, serving individuals
with intellectual and develop-
mental disabilities in home-like
environments was a new idea.
James Branch said he came
up with the idea for Innovative
Homes while brainstorming with
a friend.
“I was studying social services
with an emphasis in health care
administration,” James Branch
said. “I saw there was a need for
a place to help folks. They were
downsizing the state schools.
People were being taken out of
the institutional setting and were
placed in residential home-like
settings, and that’s what we pro-
vide.”
Andro Branch said they were
raised with an entrepreneurial
spirit.
“We were venturing into start-
ing our own business,” he said.
“Our father, who worked for a
company now gone called Texas
Foundries, raised us there. He
worked 47 years there. On the
side, he always did something
else as well. We would raise our
own crops — fields of peas, fields
of corn. In the summertime, we
would harvest it and my dad
would bring it to work and sell it.
That’s how we bought our school
clothes. That spirit was put into
us a long time ago as boys.”
James Branch also credits his
parents and family members
for their success. Those family
members include the Rev. Jessie
Branch, Willie Mae Branch, Do- If people have a loved one quality of life. tainly want to be an avenue for

“We’ve seen individuals who have been in this program who have gradually
been able to move out of the program. Some have graduated high school
and go on to have families. They’re doing very well on their own, and we’re
very proud about that. The whole idea of the program is to provide a least-
restrictive environment for an individual. They have their own bedroom,
their own television, their own everything. Whatever their needs are, those
same services follow them to the community. They don’t lose anything.
They just gain more independent living. Whatever their medical needs are,

he said. “Our parents, from the
inception of this, even to this
current time, are with us 100 per-
cent.”
There are also plenty of client
success stories.

have gradually been able to move

Branch said. “Some have gradu-

The HCS is based upon family

said.
“They have their own bed-

said. “Whatever their needs are,

Taking care of foster kids a ‘lifetime appointment,’ lawyer says
Wayne Haglund
has served on the
Angelina County
Child Welfare Board
for about 35 years
By STEVE KNIGHT
The Lufkin News
When attorney Wayne Ha-
glund arrived in Lufkin, he was
interested in becoming active in
the Texas Exes, the alumni as-
sociation for the University of
Texas at Austin.
“I met Cathy Todd at the self-
service postal kiosk at what
was the First Bank and Trust
building,” Haglund said. “So I
got involved in Texas Exes, and
through that I met a marvelous
lady named Virginia Allen. She
was a secretary and a public rela-
tions person at Lufkin Industries
for years and years. She chaired
the child welfare board for a
number of years and she was

ready to let it go as she got close
to retirement. She got me on the
board and then finagled me to be-
come chair.”
He said Allen then informed
him that the position was “a life-
time appointment,” similar to an
appointment as a U.S. district or
Supreme Court justice.
In a roundabout way, that’s
how Haglund got involved in the
Angelina County Child Welfare
Board. That was about 35 years
ago. He continues to serve the
children of the county as presi-
dent of that board today.
“It’s been a blessing to me be-
cause these kids don’t have much
of anything going for them when
they’re in foster care,” he said.
According to the Texas Coun-
cil of Child Welfare Boards, there
are 220 child welfare boards in
the state of Texas serving 40,000
children each year.
Counties establish and main-
tain child welfare boards, which
work closely with local Depart-
ment of Family and Protective
Service staff to serve the needs of
children in substitute care.
Board members step in and
help whenever there’s a need that
state agencies don’t pay for.
In Angelina County, a 15-mem-
ber board serves for revolving
three-year terms. Members are
appointed by the commissioners
court.
“In my time, we’ve done six or
seven funerals for kids who died
while they were in foster care —
there’s no money for that,” Ha-
glund said. “We’ve paid for sur-
geries. We’ve paid for ambulance
and helicopter trips. We’ve paid
for oxygen bottles. We’ve paid
for the record on appeal to make
sure that the person who abused
the kid goes to the pen and stays
there. Every year we throw
graduation parties for those who

graduation invitations. We rent
the dress or tuxedo for prom and
the cap and gown — there are
so many needs, from the most
critical to us just wanting them

Haglund said the board spends
about $20,000 to $30,000 annu-
ally. Most of those funds come
from organizations such as the

Humane Society
By STEPHANIE STEVENS
The Lufkin News
To the Winnie Berry Humane
Society of Angelina County,
10-year-old Sydnie Havard is a
gift that keeps on giving.
Last year, Havard decided that
she would rather her friends and
family give her items to donate to
the dogs and cats at the Humane
Society in place of birthday pres-
ents.
She first delivered donations
on her birthday in 2016 and decid-
ed to make this an annual birth-
day adventure. Loaded down
with bags upon bags of cat food,
dog food, treats and toys, Havard
presented her carload of goodies
to the shelter on Feb. 6.
“We were so surprised to see
her again this year because we
didn’t know this was going to
be an annual thing,” Executive
Director Mike Stephens said. “I
guess I should have known it just
because of how sweet and giving
she is.”
He said that by giving up her
birthday presents for the benefit
of the animals, she is learning
valuable lessons that will stay
with her through her life.
“The generosity that she has
and that her parents have in-
stilled in her is amazing,” Ste-
phens said. “It’s appreciated and
desperately needed.”
When asked if she regrets not
getting birthday presents, Ha-
vard replied, “No, I don’t want
birthday presents. I already have
enough at Christmas.”
She said she wants to do it sim-
ply because “I like dogs and cats,
and I know they need it.”
“They don’t have homes like
me,” she said.

known it just because of how sweet
and giving she is. The generosity
that she has and that her parents
have instilled in her is amazing.
It’s appreciated and desperately
needed.”
Her parents, Krystanna and
Mitch, said they are proud of
their daughter’s gracious heart.
“We’ve always been big-time
animal lovers,” Krystanna said.
“I grew up with dogs in my fam-
ily all my life. I teach my chil-
dren the same things my parents
taught me as far as animals are
concerned. It’s exciting to share
that love of animals with her.”
Havard originally got the idea
from her friend Lilly Rook, who
took up donations for the society
at her birthday party about three
years ago.
“Sydnie thought that was the
best idea ever,” Krystanna said.
“So next year at Sydnie’s party,
she decided she wanted to do that
instead of presents. It went over
so well, she said she wanted to do
it again and make it an annual
thing.
“This is something she enjoys
doing. She is a great kid, very
caring. She consistently thinks
about others before herself.”
Havard said she loves animals
“so much.”
“Whenever we watched TV, I
would see those dog commercials
and I wanted to take all the dogs
home,” she said.

Krystanna said. “It costs a lot of
money to keep everything going
out there.”

Stephens said gift cards to pet
stores are always encouraged, be-
cause food expires and the staff
can use gift cards to purchase
exactly what they are low on. Gift
cards also take up little room,
which is a plus because space at
the shelter is limited.
Havard challenged others to
donate to their local Humane So-
ciety, raise funds or volunteer at
their local shelter.
“Remember, the animals
need help because they don’t
have their own mommies and
daddies,” she said.

Program director has been with ministry since the beginning
Mosaic Center
dedicated to
strengthening women
and their families
By STEPHANIE STEVENS
The Lufkin News
Carol Ramsey has been with
The Mosaic Center Inc. of Lufkin,
a nonprofit ministry that offers
education, guidance and hope
for women in Angelina County,
since its opening.
“What a blessing that has
been,” said Ramsey, the center’s
program director. “To think I’ve
met every woman who has come
through here. It’s been amazing.”
By partnering with local
churches, businesses, agencies
and individuals, The Mosaic Cen-

ter is dedicated to strengthen-
ing women and their families by
bridging the gap from dependen-
cy to economic self-sufficiency in
a Christian environment.
As program director, Ramsey
meets with potential clients,
creates class schedules and pro-
grams, works with volunteers
and the mentor team, and more.
But Ramsey began her jour-
ney as a “silent supporter.”
Before the center opened in
2005, Ramsey heard talk in the
community about a place for
women to learn life and job skills
and saw an occasional article in
the paper about the progress of
the first education building along
with a list of the center’s volun-
teer needs.
“I felt drawn to be a part of
this ministry and drove past the
location many times a week,”
Ramsey said. “I would often pull
into the parking lot across from
the house and watch the renova-
tions in progress, but never spoke
to anyone about getting involved.
I didn’t feel qualified enough.”
The week classes were to start,
a friend asked Ramsey if she had
considered volunteering for the
center.
“She said, ‘They need one more
mentor. Can I give your name
and number to the director, Kitty
Bounds?’ I said yes and began as
a mentor with the very first class
in the fall of 2005.”
Since then, Ramsey has men-
tored numerous women to help
them gain life and job skills.
Bounds, now the former direc-
tor, said Ramsey has a big heart
for people and is very accepting
of people as they are.
“That gift she has puts women
at ease,” Bounds said. “Some of she and Ramsey were at the cen-

Lufkin native turns trash into treasured homes
Matthew Paneitz
is the executive
director of Long
Way Home, a
nonprofit that
recycles trash into
green buildings
By STEPHANIE STEVENS
The Lufkin News
One person’s trash is another
person’s treasure — or even their
school or home.
Lufkin native Matthew Paneitz
has been living in the Western
Highlands of Guatemala for 15
years, serving as the executive
director of Long Way Home, a
nonprofit that recycles trash into
green buildings.
But the road hasn’t been easy.
Paneitz started his journey as
a Peace Corps volunteer in Co-
malapa, Guatemala, in 2002-03.
Guatemala is the second most
dangerous country in the world,
according to independent.co.uk.
It’s plagued by drug trafficking
and had a reported average of 91
murders every week in 2015.
UNICEF estimates that there
are more than 370,000 orphans in
Guatemala. Many of these chil-
dren come from families facing
tremendous poverty; 70 percent
of people in Guatemala live be-
low the poverty level, according
to orphanoutreach.co.
In 2005, Paneitz visited an or-
phanage next to a city dump in
Guatemala.
“It’s a horrendous place,” he
said. “People live in the dump.”
Just past a room full of scream-
ing kids, EMTs were attempting
to rescue a little girl on a table.
The girl was a sex slave who had
been thrown into the dump by
her captors and had suffered sex-
ual assault-related injuries.
The sight of that girl is one of
the reasons Paneitz is still dedi-
cated to LWH.
“Because there was not enough
space in the orphanage, they sent
that 9-year-old little girl on her
way, back out into the streets,” he
said. “At that point I pretty much
decided that that is unacceptable
and I would not rest, could not
rest, until a change was made.”

He raffled his 1973 Chevrolet
Caprice Classic convertible in
the U.S. to raise funds for LWH
and build a park, Parque Chi-
miya, where children can bring
recycled plastic bottles packed
with inorganic trash in lieu of an
entrance fee.
LWH uses those bottles as con-
struction materials.
Since its inception, the or-
ganization has built the mixed
academic and vocational school
in Comalapa; a school in Cape
Town, South Africa; an orphan-
age in Bloemfontein, South Af-
rica; a school building in Venezu-
ela; multiple homes in Colombia
and Guatemala; retaining walls
for a school and health clinic in
Guatemala; and much more.
Paneitz’s mother, Janet, re-
cently flew to Guatemala for the
grand opening of the school in
Comalapa.
“The grand opening was phe-
nomenal,” Janet said. “There
were about 700 people who were
gathered to enjoy food, music.
Matt’s done a really good job.
He’s given many people jobs.”
699-4535 • 207 N John Redditt Drive • 699-4530
She explained that the un-
employment rate in that area is
around 87 percent.
“He’s worked so hard,” she
said. “He’s lived without running
water, electricity. It’s not been a
cake walk.”
To build out of trash, LWH
workers dig a trench for founda-
tion and pack rows of tires with
dirt using a sledgehammer. Row
after row of tires are stacked on
top of one another and then cov-
ered with a rebar cage and chick-
en wire. Glass bottles are tied into
the cage to act as skylights, and
concrete is poured over it. The in-
terior tire walls are finished with
a lime-based stucco.
Paneitz said that, this way,
the tires are recycled; otherwise,
they would have been burned or
thrown in a ravine, further con-
taminating the land.
LWH used 18,000 tires to build
17 rooms in the school in Coma-
lapa. The nonprofit has used a
total of 42,000 tires for all projects
since 2008.
“It’s very creative,” Janet said.
“After building, they cover them

designs and decorate them. The
rooms are beautiful.”

In a video posted on YouTube,
some of the younger students at
the Comalapa school said they
liked it because “it’s peaceful”
and “no one can bother us here.”
Paneitz strives to fill a need
anywhere he finds one. He has
brought water to four villages by
connecting them to Engineers
Without Borders. He even drove
gear to San Juan Comalapa to
provide a rescue squad, which
ended up saving his own life.
In 2009, he and a few friends
drove a cargo van full of fire/
EMS gear to San Juan Comalapa.
Before they arrived in town with
that gear, there was not much of
a rescue squad.
About two months later, Pan-
eitz was taking public transpor-
tation in the town, and the bus hit
a truck head-on. A large box flew
off the luggage rack and hit him
square in the back of the head.

This week, Paneitz will move
back to the States not just to re-

raise funds and better his organi-

initiative at home.
“It’s hard to fundraise, being

Personal trainer inspires others to change their health habits
By VICKY CAMARILLO
The Lufkin News
When it comes to helping
people achieve and maintain a
healthy lifestyle, “I’ll do what-
ever it takes,” said local personal
trainer Beth Wilbanks.
Wilbanks retired from a career
in education to become a trainer
after a major life event — becom-
ing a grandmother — motivated
her to change her health habits.
Now she inspires others, from
preteens to seniors, to do the
same.
Wilbanks was a teacher in
Chester, served as a campus
principal in Diboll for nine years
and director of curriculum and
instruction at the district for six
years, and returned to teaching
at Hudson because she missed
the classroom setting.
She was 85 pounds heavier
when her granddaughter was
born about 12 years ago, and Wil-
banks decided she wanted to live
to see her granddaughter grow
up.
“I just determined to lose the
weight and keep it off,” she said.
“So when I lost the weight and I
learned about working out at the
gym, I learned about the causes
of overeating so that I didn’t put

so I had to learn other ways. And
then I just felt like God said, ‘Re-

“I’ve had a passion since I lost

Teaching is just kind of natural
to me — teaching and training.”

when I lost the weight and I learned about working out

94-year-old dedicates his time to volunteering

Retired USFS
supervisor says he
has spent more time
volunteering than
he did following his
chosen career
By CASEY SIZEMORE
The Lufkin News
After serving in World War II,
working 35 years as a forester
and raising a family, a 94-year-
old man who claims Lufkin as his
home continues to dedicate his
time to volunteering.
John Courtenay said he re-
tired from the U.S. Forest Service
in 1980 as a forest supervisor in
Lufkin.
“I have been retired 37 years.
Yeah, I have been retired longer
than I worked,” Courtenay said
with a laugh. “I retired here in
Lufkin, but I worked in dozens of
different places over the years. I
started in Tennessee, then Mis-
sissippi, Florida, Alabama, and
ended up here for the last 13
years before retiring.”
He moved to Lufkin in 1966,
and his son was in Cub Scouts.
Courtenay said the Scouts tapped
him as the Webelos in April 1967,
and when his son graduated to
the Boy Scouts in September that
year, Courtenay became assis-
tant Scoutmaster in Troop 140.
A few years later, Courtenay
became Scoutmaster and went
on to hold the position for 20
years.
“Then I got too old to go in
the woods, camp and lay on the
ground,” he said with a smile.
“But I continued to go down to
the Scout meeting every Monday
night, and I did the paperwork,
kept up with the advancements
the kids make, kept the records
and ordered supplies. I am more
or less secretary-treasurer of the
troops.”
He said he does this voluntari-
ly because he enjoys watching
children succeed.
“It’s just a lot of fun to see the
kids grow up and see them make
advancements,” he said. “It’s just
fun to be around them — it keeps
me feeling young.”
Courtenay has also been a
longtime volunteer for the Tex-
as Forestry Museum. About 20
years ago he worked on the hik-
ing trails behind the museum
with help from the Boy Scouts,
and he currently hosts group dis-
cussions on topics such as the old
sawmills in Angelina County.
“Over the years I have done a
lot of things for the museum,” he
said. “I have taken tour groups
around to the old sawmill sites
and through the museum. On
Jan. 31, I had a group that came
in that evening and I talked to
them about the old Aldridge Saw-
mill.”
He said that given his age, he
no longer volunteers as a tour
guide, but he can still do the dis-
cussions sitting down.
Courtenay also provides the
popcorn for CHI St. Luke’s Health
Memorial every Wednesday.
“They have a bunch of the la-
dies there who volunteer to make
and sell popcorn,” he said.
“They cornered me one day
and got me to get involved. I buy
the supplies, the popcorn, the
salt, the paper towels and such,
and keep the shelves full. They
reimburse me for what it costs.”
CHI spokeswoman Yana Ogle-
tree said the proceeds from the
popcorn sales are applied to aca-
demic scholarships for graduat-
ing high school seniors seeking a
degree in health care.
“They usually give out seven to
12 $1,000 scholarships each year,”
Ogletree said. “Who would have
thought they make that much
money selling popcorn? But they
do.”
When asked why he continues
to volunteer, Courtenay said,
“It’s something to do that keeps
me occupied and helpful to the
community at the same time.”
Courtenay said he grew up in
Long Island, New York, and left
to attend Syracuse University.
“It took me eight years to get
through college because I had
a four-year recess in the middle
called World War II,” he said. “I
started and got in two years be-
fore the war broke out.”
He said he served in the U.S.
Navy as an aviation machinist’s
mate for four years, stationed in
Pensacola, Florida, and Santa
Rosa, California, before return-
ing to college in 1946. He gradu-
ated in 1948 with a bachelor’s de-
gree in forestry.
He said that during the process
of returning to school, he mar-
ried his wife, Jeanette, and they
enjoyed 66 years of marriage be-
fore she passed away in 2012. To-
gether they raised three children,
John L. Courtenay, Barbara Olds
and Mary Smith, and Courtenay
now has seven grandchildren
and 11 great-grandchildren.
Having lived in Lufkin for 51
years, Courtenay said he consid-
ers the East Texas town his home.
“Lufkin is a great place to live,”
he said. “I have lived in many
towns while working with the
Forest Service, and when I moved
here, it was just like I was coming
home. I have enjoyed living here;
it was home to my kids, and it is
home to me.”

Disabled veteran determined to give back to community

Lufkin City Council
member Robert
Shankle is excited
about how Impact
Lufkin can help the
community
By STEVE KNIGHT
The Lufkin News

After a 14-year stint in the Unit-

ed States Army, National Guard
and Army Reserve, including
duty in Operation Desert Storm,
Robert Shankle said although he
was a disabled veteran, he didn’t
want to be one of those people
who just lived off society.
“In my family, we were always
taught to serve the community
and give back,” Shankle said. “It
was a way for me to give back.
Although I’m disabled, I can use
my mind to help improve the
community for other people. I
always wanted to give back. I al-
ways wanted to be productive.
There are different ways you can
be productive, but mine is giving
back and helping change people’s
lives.”
Shankle was elected to the
Lufkin City Council represent-
ing Ward 2 in 2009. He received
his education in the Lufkin pub-
lic schools and graduated from
Lufkin High School in 1985.
He has assisted in founding
several committees in the com-
munity, including the Lufkin Pro

teach English as a
Second Language
at Adult Education
and Literacy Career
Pathways program
By STEPHANIE STEVENS
The Lufkin News
Each one, teach one.
This is the mantra that Fran
Brown has lived by as she has
taught adults and non-English
speakers on a professional and
voluntary basis since 1962.
“If you know something, you
need to teach someone that very
thing,” Brown said. “You really
do. If you have that skill, you
reach back and pull somebody
up with you. I don’t see volun-
teering as giving back, but my
responsibility. To me, this is just
what people do, and it really is so
fulfilling.”
Brown graduated from the
University of Texas with a bache-
lor’s degree in English. Through-
out her years of teaching in pub-
to East Texas, and she decided to
volunteer to teach literacy and
English as a Second Language
classes through the Adult Edu-
cation and Literacy Career Path-
ways program at Angelina Col-
lege. That’s where she has been,
happily, for the past five years.
Adult Education coordinator
Jesse Medina said Brown teaches
twice a week for four hours.
“These are students who have
trouble reading and/or speaking
English,” he said. “Everything
is taught in English, and she’s
helped a lot of students.”
Grant support specialist Ran-
dy Roberts said Brown teaches
with much enthusiasm.
“She really wants to help the
students,” he said. “I’ve hardly
ever seen anybody with that
much passion for teaching. It’s
really inspiring to see.”
Many of her adult students
have never been to school due to
living in poverty-stricken areas.
Artemio Diosdado, who has
been taking Brown’s classes for
a year, grew up in Mexico and
then moved to the United States
in his teenage years. He never
went to school, as he had to work

on a farm to bring home food for
his family. He has been working
ever since, but he said he decided
to attend classes because “it is
difficult to get a job if you don’t
know how to speak or write in
English.”
“(Brown) is a good teacher be-
cause she is patient and will ex-
plain it over and over until you
understand,” Diosdado said. “My
English is much better.”
After a long shift at work, he
goes to class with his wife, Alma,
who only attended five years of
schooling.
Alma said the main thing the
class has given her is more self-
confidence and pride. Things that
were hard, such as filling out job
applications, are now much easi-
er for her to do. Soon she hopes to
be able to read and speak in Eng-
lish fluently.
fran brown
Brown said boosting students’
confidence is one of the most
important things one can do as a
teacher.
“If you couldn’t read or write,
how would you feel?” she asked.
“My students are smart and
worthy, and want the chance to
learn to better their lives. So you
elevate their self-image to a level
where they can be successful.”
She said another mantra she
uses in her class is “si se puede,”
a phrase associated with Cesar
I’ve inspired at least one person
to believe, ‘yes, I can.’”
Roberts said volunteers like
Brown are vital for the Adult
Education and Literacy Career
Pathways program.
“Fran and the other volunteers
serve as role models,” he said.
“Students can see and get advice
from people who have succeeded
in their career in many places. I
think it’s interesting for them to
see a different point of view.”
Medina thanked John Wood-
side, a 100-year-old man who just
wrapped up 15 years of volun-
teering as a math teacher.
“Some of the students who
come here have already been
through a conventional high
school system that didn’t work
out for them,” he said.
“Then they come up here, and
He encouraged them to accom-
plish more.”
The program served 565 stu-
dents in the last July-June year
cycle and has helped 373 students
this year.
“The main focus is to help
people improve in certain subject
areas, gain their GED or help in
remedial programs like English
and math,” Roberts said. “But we
need the help of volunteers to do
this. Any help is appreciated.”
Brown encouraged others who
are qualified to volunteer.

Volunteer firefighters always willing to answer emergency calls

By CASEY SIZEMORE
The Lufkin News

Volunteer firefighters are a

staple in any community.
They respond to many types of
emergency calls and often visit
schools to teach kids life-saving
fire safety and fire prevention
tips.
Emergency calls come in 24
hours a day, and many volunteer
firefighters have full-time jobs,
but that does not stop them from
getting up out of bed when the
late-night call for help comes in.
They have families and friends
but make every effort, even at
their own peril, to help others,
and save lives in doing so.
In Angelina County there are
nine recognized volunteer fire
departments, which often assist
each other on emergency calls. ANDY ADAMS/The Lufkin News

Fire Department
The Lufkin News received
several written statements from
the Rivercrest/Redland VFD
firefighters, and each said they
volunteer to help put smiles on
people’s faces and to give back to
the community.
“Volunteers are needed so
much, not just where we live,
but all over the world,” train-
ing officer Lt. William Sessum
said. “There is an unexplainable
feeling you get when you help

simply put a smile on someone’s
face, it is a very rewarding job. …
I enjoy giving back and putting
smiles on faces when it’s a hard

came a firefighter.”
Other members include Chief
Patrick McKelvey, President E.R.
Brooks, Assistant Chief Marshal
Ray Blackburn Jr. and Capt. Fred
“Lingo” Sanford, along with fire-

City of Huntington Fire
Department
Capt. Amy Dempsey-Cheney
said the department’s 2017 call
volume, as of early March, was
58.
She said all volunteer firefight-
ers choose to risk their lives to
help others.
“Volunteering is a choice that
each of us has made,” Cheney
said. “We are not paid for the
job, and we do not have the new-
est fire trucks, equipment or fire
gear. We have a desire to help our
fellow man, our teachers, our
community leaders, our neigh-
bors, our families, young and old,
male and female. … We choose to
be there; we choose to leave our
families to come help yours in
times of need.”
She said pay for a volunteer
firefighter can be as simple as a
smile, a handshake or a “thank
you.”
Members include Fire Admin-
istrator/Treasurer/Chief Bobby
Epperly, Lt. Virgil Glawson, Lt.
Melanie Garner, secretary and
public relations specialist Re-
becca Burton, and maintenance
officers John Cheney and Curt
Fredregill. Firefighters include
Doug Sheffield, Summer Thomp-
son, Jerry Forest, Erik Knupp
and William Calhoun, along
with Brenda Epperly, BreAnna
Dempsey and Tara Wiggins, who
work in rehabilitation.
Moffett Volunteer Fire
Department
Chief Eddie Sweet said he has
been a volunteer firefighter in
Angelina County for more than
30 years. He said that a few years
back he was diagnosed with mul-
tiple sclerosis, so the county’s vol-
unteer fire departments held fun-
draisers to help with his medical
expenses.

your fellow mankind,” Sweet
said. “A lot of people do not know
this, but there are more volunteer
fire departments than there are
paid fire departments. So if we
did not do it, who would?”
He said that as he fought to
cope with his ailment, his fam-
ily joined the department to help
him continue to serve the com-
munity.
“When I got MS, my family
decided to come help me because
being a firefighter and helping
people was so much in my blood,”
he said. “They said they wanted
to help me help the community.
It really is a family operation —
I have four or five people in the
department that are my family
members.”
He said that when his family
started, they came to understand

why he is a firefighter.
“It is the gratitude,” he said.
“When you lay down at night,
you can say, ‘I helped someone to-
day.’ A lot of people may do it for
different reasons. I’ll be the first
to say when I first got into this,
it was all about the lights and si-
rens. Now it’s all about getting to
the call, being safe and helping
people.”
Members include Assistant
Chief and President Joey Rocka,
training officer and Capt. Thom-
as Ellis, 1st Lt. Adam Klock and
2nd Lt. Marie Sweet, along with
firefighters Dakota Ellis, Vice
President Victor Rosales, public
relations specialist and secretary
Holly Klock and the department’s
newest recruit, Tyler Reynolds.
