Consequences are hefty for misdemeanor marijuana possession
&Crime “
By PAUL BRYANT pbryant@dailysentinel.com
M
ore than 97 percent of misdemeanor cases involving marijuana possession in Nacogdoches County account for the lowest possible offense under state law. But for those defendants, that still means up to six months in jail and a $2,000 fine. “Our office has placed a premium on holding accountable people attending court,” said Nacogdoches County Attorney John Fleming. “In the event they miss court, that is something our office takes very seriously. When an individual is given a summons to appear, there’s not a bond requiring them to come to court. There is a penalty if they don’t come to court, but there’s not a bond we can forfeit. From our office’s perspective, we prefer there be an arrest on Class B and Class A misdemeanors.” And that is the policy generally enforced by Nacogdoches police Chief Jim Sevey. “When we establish
It is an injustice in our court system when victims of real crime are not getting the kinds of attention prosecutors should be paying them. We are taking non-violent people and putting them around violent people in jail. Heather Razio Texas political director, Marijuana Policy Project
“
Marijuana is known for being the gateway for illegal substances for our youth. In the 20 years of working narcotics and interviews with suspects or addicts, the story has been always the same. They started by smoking marijuana.”

my team is making every effort to contact voters within Precinct 2 and ... asking for their support,” McCorvey said in an email Thursday. “My first opportunity will be to build an effective working relationship with the other county commissioners and county judge. “A good working relationship is necessary, and will allow us as a team to focus on ways of improving the quality of living for all Nacogdoches citizens. I know within my heart that serving and helping others is the key for a better community and I am willing to do my part.” Stone, too, said he has spent time in the weeks approaching the election reaching out to his would-be constituents. “I have spent a lot of time placing signs and meeting people in Precinct 2, which included working the Republican booth at the (Pineywoods Fair),” Stone said in an email. “I have an honest desire to serve the people of Nacogdoches County as I love this county.” McCorvey added that he believes his education, background and work experience all provide him with necessary skills to be an effective county commissioner. “I’m a graduate of Mississippi State University, with a bachelor’s degree in Wood Science and Technology,” he noted. “In 1986, I relocated to Nacogdoches and began my career with International Paper at the Nacogdoches’ OSB Mill as a production supervisor. During my tenure with International Paper, I worked in many capacities with increasing leadership responsibility.” McCorvey went on to say he was promoted in 2005 “to mill manager of the Sampit Lumber Mill located in Georgetown, S.C. In 2009, my family and I relocated from Georgetown, South Carolina back to Nacogdoches. I’m a local businessman willing to work hard for the needs of our community. When elected, I will be

a strong effective leader.” If elected, Stone said he plans “to work with the commissioner’s court to operate on the revenue that the county receives. I do not like the idea of raising taxes and will investigate ways in which to cut taxes.” Stone said he chose to run for the commissioners position “because a wise man told me that if you were concerned or unhappy about your local government, then run for office and try to make positive changes. I ask all the voters in Precinct 2 to consider voting for me in the election.” Early voting will be at the Nacogdoches County Courthouse Annex at various time Oct. 20-31. Early voting will not be held Saturday, Oct. 25.

Library to celebrate 40th, honor founders By Adam Peasley apeasley@dailysentinel.com From 1958 to 1974, the library of Nacogdoches was located in what is now the Sterne-Hoya House where it held a modest collection of books, many dedicated to the history of East Texas. Though a helpful resource, Hoya’s shelf space was meager, and didn’t possess the variety of books available at public libraries. In 1971, a small but dedicated group of Nacogdoches residents went into action, orchestrating a massive fundraiser that grew to gain the support of more than 500 businesses, residents and one U.S. senator. The project ended in the establishment of a new city department and the Nacogdoches Public Library, which stored more than 25,000 volumes. The group, now called the Friends of the Nacogdoches Pub-
lic Library, will host a reception on Monday to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the library and to honor the people responsible for its founding. “We’re going to do a brief little ceremony and a public reception for them in a way that says, ‘Thanks for what you did,’” said Carol Nelson Shaw, president of the Friends of the Nacogdoches Public Library. The effort was organized by a board of six members, led by president Alvin E. Cage, according to two bronze plaques at the library, engraved with the names of the organizers and contributors. Without the funds to raise a new building, the board searched for property that could be repurposed to fit the need. The library would find a home at 200 East Main Street, in the building that currently houses the Nacogdoches Convention and Visitors Bu-
reau’s visitors center. “Through the efforts of U.S. Sen. John Tower, the building was declared surplus property by the U.S. Department of Health Education, and Welfare and ownership formally transferred to the city in ceremonies on Aug. 10, 1973,” reads an article on the founding of the library printed in The Daily Sentinel on Oct. 20, 1974. On Friday, May 17, 1974, the community reached its goal of $200,000 (what would equal more than $1 million today, accounting for inflation) for the purchase of new books, with the help of

Marijuana » From 1A policies and procedures regarding issuing a summons or an arrest, we look at three areas,” Sevey said. “We coordinate with the prosecutor — in this case, the county attorney — and we also talk to our own folks and try to pay attention to what the officers think, and we listen to the community. We have done community surveys on this issue, and drugs are an important element. That includes marijuana.” So far this year, Fleming’s office has received 709 cases involving possession of marijuana of two ounces or less — a Class B misdemeanor. Nine cases have been submitted involving marijuana possession of two to four ounces. That is a Class A misdemeanor, along with possessing marijuana in a drug-free zone. Texas law provides that a conviction for Class A misdemeanors includes up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine. “Typically, a Class B misdemeanor is a $1,500 bond,” Fleming said. “On Class A, it’s $2,500. So what I don’t typically see are people in jail for long periods of time by any means on Class B or Class A.”
Request for summonses
Sevey said NPD will not issue summonses for Class B marijuana possession unless Sheriff Jason Bridges requests it. “We can arrest everybody,” he said. “But we work together — the police department and sheriff’s office — to try to provide the best service for the community, and the best service is to keep room in the jail for violent offenders and felons. Then we go back to business as usual, and that is this: the citizens in our community say drugs are one of their top priorities as far as crime in their community goes, and that includes marijuana and

Opposing viewpoints In September, the organization began raising money for a campaign to legalize recreational marijuana use in California in 2016 through a ballot initiative, the Associated Press reported. The measure would be similar to legislation passed in 2012 by voters in Colorado and Washington, the first U.S. states to legalize commercial sales of marijuana to adults over 21. “People are finally able to talk about this issue,” Razio said. “And it’s not the same people you might expect talking about it. Republicans against prohibition on marijuana have come aboard. This is a common-sense approach to marijuana policies.” But Sheriff Jason Bridges insists that marijuana use, especially for young people, often leads to abuse of other drugs. “Marijuana is known for being the gateway for illegal substances for our youth,” he said. “In the 20 years of working narcotics and interviews with suspects or addicts, the story has been always the same. They started by smoking marijuana. People don’t begin a history of narcotics use by sampling with cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin. It starts with marijuana.” According to a 2013 report by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 43 percent of children 12 and older have used marijuana. More than 16 percent of those ages 12 to 17 have used the drug.

For now, pot is illegal Sevey said people should remember that, at least in Texas, marijuana use and possession is illegal. “I think when we call it recreational that we forget that marijuana is an addictive drug,” he said. “As more and more people start to think of marijuana as a cultural and socially acceptable drug, we are seeing more DUIs. I wish people would be happy without having to take intoxicants into their bodies and just be happy with what God gave them.” Marijuana, or Cannibis sativa, contains the mind-altering chemical delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, and related compounds. The National Institute on Drug Abuse calls it “the most illicit drug used” in the U.S.

Ebola patient contacts emerge from monitoring DALLAS (AP) — The top administrator for Dallas County said Saturday it’s a “critical weekend” in the Ebola containment effort as the first people who had contact with Thomas Eric Duncan after he became ill begin emerging from a 21-day monitoring period. Ebola’s maximum incubation time frame is 21 days, meaning the people exposed to Duncan after his arrival in Texas from Liberia in late September are now reaching the point where they don’t have to worry about catching the virus. His family and friends who were near him can come out of quarantine after Sunday, at midnight. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Saturday that 14 people have completed the “active surveillance” period. Health officials have broken down Duncan’s contacts in two main groups: The 48 people who had contact with him before his hospitalization and about 70 med-
ical workers who were involved in his care. Many of the 48 people will be out of the 21-day period after Sunday, also at midnight. The estimated 70 workers were asked this week to sign a legal form agreeing not to travel on airplanes, to consult with public health officials before taking mass transit and to avoid public places. Judge Clay Jenkins, the county administrator, said Saturday that all but about 10 people had signed the agreement and that everyone was adhering to the pledge. He estimated that about 25 of the isolated health care workers are staying at the hospital, an offer made by the employer for people who didn’t want to risk staying at home with their families. Jenkins said the county is still bolstering plans in the event more people get sick. That includes forming a “go team” of about 50 medical specialists from

Parkland Memorial Hospital, the county hospital, to respond if there’s another case. Meanwhile, pastors are returning to the pulpit Sunday with Ebola on the mind of many parishioners. Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said he did a conference call with 80 pastors Friday in which they discussed the need to welcome anyone who had been cleared from the monitoring lists. He said he had similar calls with business and apartment building owners. Ebola scares continue to crop up in Dallas and elsewhere. On
Saturday, a woman fell ill at a train station and said she once stayed at the same apartment complex where the 41-year-old Duncan lived. It was later determined that she had no contact with Duncan and was not at risk of having Ebola. Jenkins said officials are getting several calls an hour from people who think they have Ebola or might have been exposed to the virus. “Actually, the operation is absorbing those pretty well and going through those pretty quickly,” he said.
Early detection is the best protection.

Remains may be those Voter ID Court balks at last-minute voting changes of missing UVa. student WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has allowed Texas to use its strict voter ID law in the November election even after a federal judge said the law was the equivalent of a poll tax and threatened to deprive many blacks and Latinos of the right to vote this year. Like earlier orders in North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin, the justices’ action before dawn on Saturday, two days before the start of early voting in Texas, appears to be based on their view that changing the rules so close to an election would be confusing. Of the four states, only Wisconsin’s new rules were blocked, and in that case, absentee ballots already had been mailed without
any notice about the need for identification. Texas has conducted several low-turnout elections under the new rules — seven forms of approved photo ID, including concealed handgun licenses, but not college student IDs. The law has not previously been used in congressional elections or a highprofile race for governor. The Supreme Court’s brief unsigned order, like those in the other three states, offers no explanation for its action. In this case, the Justice Department and civil rights groups were asking that the state be prevented from requiring the photo ID in the Nov. 4 election, where roughly 600,000 voters, disproportionately
black and Latino, lack acceptable forms of ID. The challengers said that the last time the Supreme Court allowed a voting law to be used in a subsequent election after it had been found to be unconstitutional was in 1982. That case from Georgia involved an at-large election system that had been in existence since 1911. Republican lawmakers in Texas and elsewhere say voter ID laws are needed to reduce voter fraud. Democrats contend that such cases are extremely rare and that voter ID measures are thinly veiled attempts to keep eligible voters, many of them minorities supportive of Democrats, away from the polls.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Searchers found human remains on Saturday that could be those of a University of Virginia sophomore who has been missing since Sept. 13, police said. Further forensic tests are needed to confirm whether the remains are those of Hannah Graham, but Graham’s parents were notified of the preliminary findings, Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo told a news conference.
The Albemarle County Police Department also said a volunteer search for Graham that had been planned for Sunday has been canceled so law enforcement can turn their attention to the new evidence. Longo said a search team from the Chesterfield County Sheriff’s Office found the remains on an abandoned property in southern Albemarle County — the same region where police found the body of 20-year-old
Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington three months after she vanished in 2009. After arresting the suspect in Graham’s disappearance, police said they found a “forensic link” between the two cases. Thousands of volunteers had searched for the 18-year-old Graham in the weeks since her disappearance. Jesse Leroy Matthew Jr., 32, has been charged with abduction with intent to defile Graham.

S
tanding in the line at a local supermarket recently provided me the opportunity to look over the magazines near the checkout line. In my opinion, this is a marketing strategy to have you see the magazine Jeri Mills and realize you must buy it or realize you can read parts of it while you are waiting your turn in line. For me I choose the latter and read over the magazine then place it back on the rack until it is my turn. Come on folks, you know there are many of you who do the same thing. On this given day when I looked at the shelf, many of the magazine covers featured fall activities, including Halloween, which brought back my own personal memories of Halloween. As a young mother I got into having my husband carve a real pumpkin with a ghoulish face. We would put a candle in the carved pumpkin at night so that it would give off a light to frighten off unwelcomed energy known to visit on Halloween night. OK, I know there are those who believe this is a pagan holiday that goes against Christianity. My response to this is the same for those who do not believe in celebrating Christmas. As Christians we should be committed to the teachings of the Bible and live by the words that God put before us — which basically means do not break the Ten Commandments and keep the Lord first in all we do. We must believe in Jesus as the son of God, in his death and resurrection, and that we can have a right relationship with God when forgiveness was made once and for all through the death of Jesus Christ. I choose to keep God first and look at Halloween as a fun holiday — without attaching any pro or con religious beliefs. Further, I believe we can push our so-called religious beliefs and actions to a point of down-right sin when we allow the devil to get into our “Christian behavior.” For example, when we come to church to worship for the wrong reason and we allow the devil to wear our clothes, then we are sinning. Remember, “keep God first in all we do” and “keep the devil out of our thoughts and behavior.” I have to personally tell the devil at times to “stay away” and ask God to help me keep him away. Did I preach a mini sermon? Let’s summarize a few Halloween symbols to look at this day as a fun day that everyone can enjoy if we choose to do so. Halloween bats are associated with magic and a time of passing from one phase of life to another. Halloween black cats are often thought of as mysterious communicators of good energy in the blackest of nights. Jack-O-Lanterns keep bad energy away and bring in good energy.

Sales representative Kenneth Page recently joined the staff of The Daily Sentinel in Nacogdoches.
Andrew D. Brosig/The Daily Sentinel
Introducing Kenneth Page, ad representative By ADAM PEASLEY apeasley@dailysentinel.com
A
veteran salesman has become part the team in The Daily Sentinel’s advertising department. Kenneth “PJ” Page Jr. is among the three representatives responsible for selling the ads that appear on the pages of the paper. “(This position) has been a change of pace, but I love it,” Page said. The advertising representative began his career in sales in 2003, working as a certified advertising consultant for the Yellow Pages. “(It was) kind of like what I am doing now. I sold and created the ads for the Yellow Pages. I had a current account list and I had to go after new business as well.” Since then, Page has worked for two companies, spending the last 11 years
in sales. He last worked as an assistant manager at the Nacogdoches branch of the service provider Cellular One. “With my other jobs, I worked long, really long hours, and I felt like I was missing my kids grow up. With this job, like any other, there are some hurdles that I have to overcome, but that’s where the fun is — in the chase,” Page said. Page said he likes the freedom sales positions afford, and getting to speak to a variety of people. “It is one of the few jobs in the world where you can pretty much write your own paycheck,” he said. “(It’s fun to) meet and talk to different people from different races, religions, countries — just all different walks of life. You never know what you might learn from somebody else that is different from you if you are willing to listen.”
Page spends his off hours with his children: a 7-year-old son, Kenneth Page III (“but we call him Trae,” Page said) and a 3-year-old daughter, Kensley. Page is engaged to Ashley Thompson, who he met in Nacogdoches through friends. The couple have been together for 10 years. “I also try and help out with my sister’s kids whenever I can,” he said. When Page isn’t chasing kids or selling ad space in the Sentinel, he coaches little league teams in town. “I also love fishing and camping with my friends and family,” he said. Page has been in Nacogdoches since he was 10, save for leaving to attend Bethune Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Fla. after graduating from Nacogdoches High School. Page left school early to help out with family, but plans to return in the fall to study kinesiology at SFA.

Nacogdoches’ Oldest & Largest Optical & Optometry Practice
The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) today announced the launch of the Veteran and Industry Partnership (VIP), an initiative to create jobs for veterans and supply a skilled and ready workforce for some of the state’s most high-demand industries. TWC has designated $4.3 million from the state’s Skills Development Fund to establish the initiative, which brings together industry associations, local Workforce Solutions partners and community colleges to develop training in key industry occupations for veterans. “VIP recognizes the exceptional skills that veterans bring to the workforce and strives to connect them with jobs in expanding industries,” said Andres Alcantar, TWC chairman. “We are proud to partner with these community colleges and Texas employers to train and place our heroes in highdemand occupations.” Local workforce development boards have partnered with industry leaders and 17 colleges throughout Texas to identify high-demand workforce needs in local areas and develop expedited training programs for veterans as part of the VIP initiative. Short-term certificate attainment and industryrecognized credentials will be included in all three industry training initiatives. “The training developed by VIP will give veterans credit for their years of training and experience in the military, and emphasize the need for immediate job placement after completion,” said Ronny Congleton, TWC commissioner representing labor. “Texas veterans and service members have answered the call to serve our nation in large numbers and providing a fast path to employment is one way we can thank them for that service.” Among the benefits of hiring veterans, the Work Opportunity Tax Credit allows employers to receive up to a $9,600 tax credit on federal business income or payroll tax benefits when they hire a qualifying veteran. “The availability of veterans who have the discipline, work ethic and capacity to learn new skills quickly presents a favorable environment to respond to industry needs while enhancing the professional skills of veterans and providing further job opportunities in high-demand, high-wage industries,” said Hope Andrade, TWC commissioner representing employers. All eligible U.S. veterans will have the opportunity to participate in VIP. Funds have been allocated to eligible colleges on a regional basis based on veteran population and available industry jobs. “The Texas Chemical Council is proud to collaborate with TWC and our workforce and education partners to help develop curricula to meet the workforce needs of Texas’ petrochemical employers and help our returning veterans transitioning into civilian life,” said Hector Rivero, president and CEO of Texas Chemical Council.

Analog East Texas [ By Andrew D. Brosig ]
Introducing Volume One
Analog East Texas sig [ By Andrew D. Bro ]
Analog East Texas is an ongoing photographic project by Andrew D. Brosig, photo editor for The Daily Sentinel. Analog East Texas will highlight antique film cameras from Brosig’s personal collection. The idea behind the project is to explore the technology and technique that inspired both amateur and professional photographers in the pre-digital age. Analog East Texas also gives the photographer a chance to return to his roots in nondigital, filmbased photography.

ne of the joys that comes with aging is recalling the good people of my boyhood and talking to their descendants. All of those hardworking, reputable people have gone on to their eternal rewards, but memories of Calvin Bowden them — and the homes they lived in — are still fresh in my mind. The most recent flashback to those early days was triggered by my sending an email to the charming Anita Forbis Garner, husband of Herschel Garner — the first to receive a Ph.D. in biology from Texas Tech — and mother of veterinarian, Stephen Garner, who operates Southside Animal Clinic in Nacogdoches. Anita Garner is the daughter of the late Alton and Ruby Patrin Forbis, and the niece of my late cousin, Meadril Muller, brick mason and business owner, who was married to Ora Forbis, sister of Anita Garner’s dad. I emailed Anita Garner because I had lost the address of our mutual cousin, Janet Muller Allen, and thought she might have it. Janet Allen is the daughter of Meadril and Ora Muller. In addition to obtaining the address I needed, I found myself engulfed in old memories because Anita Garner grew up on what my dad called the “Mosby Place,” which is located some three and one-half miles north of Nacogdoches on the Old Tyler Road — on which stood an old home where things happened and people lived that are still fresh in my memory. Anita Garner’s parents purchased the place in 1943, then farmed and ran a dairy on it before retiring and moving to Locke Street in 1978. Anita Garner still owns it. My acquaintance with Anita Garner’s family tree, however, precedes the time when her parents purchased the place, even prior to the days before her parents mar-
ried. Her dad’s grandparents, Joel (Jodie) and Eula Forbis, purchased one of the first cars owned in the area so I had seen them pass our house out on the Old Tyler Road many times, even in cold, rainy weather when the dirt road was boggy and go-in-theditch slippy. There weren’t many cars in the early ‘30s, so I learned the sound of each one — particularly the one belonging to my cousin, Meadril Muller, on his way to visit his wife-to-be, Ora Forbis, every Thursday night in his open, T-model Ford hoopy. The Forbis family Chevy sedan equipped with snapon, celluloid curtains for bad weather, had its own distinctive sound as it passed on the way to church on Sunday morning with all, or part, of the Forbis family — the parents, Lena, Ora, Fannie Mae, Euell and Alton. I became better acquainted with Mr. Forbis around that time when I chopped cotton on his place for 50 cents per day. A silver half dollar was a fortune to a boy who seldom had any money of his own. I still see that field we drive south on the West Loop that runs through the Forbis place. Their house can also be seen across and open field to one’s right. I remember the Mosby house where Anita Garner grew up because I walked past it every school day for two years on my way to Union Cross school located past the next wooden bridge and up the next hill. My parents must have lived there briefly before I came along because my oldest sister, Lorie, told me one time how our older brother, Charlie, had killed a mad dog under the next house down the hill near the bridge after the colored lady living there requested help. That house has vanished, like so man other things of The Great Depression era, but it remained there for many years. It was white, with blue window and door facings.
The first neighbors I recall living in the Mosby house was the Oscar Griffin family, with pretty daughters, Marie and Inez. I remember the country musical held there in l930 when some still traveled in wagons or by horseback. The only new car I recall being there was driven by my distant cousin, Byron Singleton, grandson of my greataunt, Betty Partin, who lived on the Old Tyler Road past present-day FM 343. The next person to live in the Mosby home, still owned by Anita Garner, was Adus Woddham and his son. Mr. Wododham was a tall, friendly railroad retiree who gave our first grad class an interesting speech about the big mountain jack steam locomotives he worked on in the mountainous northeastern U.S. He was a friendly, outgoing gentleman with a smiling face. It was from him and his son that Anita Garner’s parents purchased the place in 1943. Mr. Woodham and son moved into two new frame houses they built in an open field — at the time — that joined the Union Cross school grounds. When I retired from Federal Probation, Anita Garner’s house was still standing, but almost hidden by tall, thick shrubs. I considered finding the owner to determine if he or she would sell it to me so I could restore it for my retirement home, but other things kept getting in the way. I miss the old folks and wish I had talked to them more. Do you ever find yourself wishing the same thing? Time waits for no man and when it’s gone, it’s gone forever. ——— For eight years Calvin wrote the weekly column FRONT Porch for the Sentinel, and now contributes a monthly column about a variety of subjects.

Mills » From 1B incoming cooler weather as it brings in the oncoming winter season while simultaneously lighting the night with good energy. Halloween owls are also associated with the transition of weather because our earlier ancestors often questioned whether or not they would survive the cold winter months. The old owl, known for his wisdom, took the mystery of this question and made sure we survived the cold winter months. Halloween skeletons offer an opportunity for us to honor the memories of those no longer with us. For ancient cultures, the skull was viewed as a good luck symbol that has carried over to today’s celebration of Halloween. The Halloween witch is devoted to utilizing, interpreting and magnifying unseen magical energies. When we look at the magical view of the witch wearing a tall hat and riding a broom, we must think of her as using her talents for the good and helping us with everyday good common sense. The witch could have been our earlier Farmer’s Almanac! Halloween spiders — like the bat, cat and owl — are considered magical and mystical because of their ability to weave webs, which has been a symbol of time, fate and progress. The spider has eight legs which, according to legend, represents the spider’s presence during this time of the year and is symbolic of transition between summer to winter. Time, fate and progress are also important to the functions of mankind. I hope the Halloween symbols and their meanings will help us to have a positive view and enjoy Halloween with a lot of family fun. Happy Halloween!

“REED ALL ABOUT IT” “Our Precious Savior” – “Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; . . .” 1 Peter 2:7a, NKJV For the one who truly believes in Him, Jesus is precious indeed. The word “precious” means highly valued or esteemed. Not only is Jesus precious to the Heavenly Father (2:4), He is also precious to those who follow Him. The reasons why Jesus is precious are as numerous as the stars in the heavens, but for our purpose, I focus on only two that shine as any star might. Jesus is precious because of who He is. He is the God-Man. Jesus is one hundred percent God, and at the same time He is one hundred percent man. He is co-equal and co-eternal with God the Father as well as with God the Holy Spirit. We reverence Him as being divine; yet, at the same time, He is bone of our bone, flesh of our flesh without sin. He is the unique, one-ofa-kind Son of God. He is precious, if you think of Him as He is, as God and man, two natures combined in one. Jesus is precious, not only because of who He is, but because of what He accomplished through His death on the cross. Christ took all of our sins upon Himself, becoming sin for us, that we might be cleansed of all our sins. Second Corinthians chapter five, verse twenty-one reads: “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” Such an act of sacrificial love is truly amazing. Another key idea in Second Corinthians chapter five is the concept of “imputation” as found in verse nineteen. This is a word borrowed from banking; it simply means “to put to one’s account.” When you deposit money in the bank, the computer (or the clerk) puts that amount to your account, or to your credit. When Jesus died on the cross, all of our sins were imputed to Him–put to His account. Jesus was treated by God as though He had actually committed those sins. What was the result? All of those sins have been paid for, and God no longer holds them against us. Jesus was not forced to die on the cross in our place. He volunteered. Such love is beyond our comprehension. Certainly beyond anything we deserve. Surely, such an act of sacrificial love is precious to all of us who have been redeemed by His shed blood. He is indeed precious. Jesus is so precious that He cannot be matched. There is none like Him. The fairest of the fair are uncomely and deformed when compared to Him. We could search through the entire universe and for all eternity and never find anyone more precious than our blessed Lord Jesus Christ. He truly shines as “the Bright and Morning Star” (Revelation 22:16). When I contemplate the love that Christ has for me as demonstrated on the cross–the God-Man dying in my place–I find the closing words of Isaac Watts’ song, “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross” expresses my exact sentiments: “Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.” Have you found Jesus to be precious? Have you accepted Him as your Lord and Savior? If you haven’t, will you receive Him now? He knocks at the door of your heart. He wants to come in and cleanse you of all your sins. If you will let Him, He will become precious to you. A LITTLE HUMOR: One night a preacher’s wife woke her husband up, crying her heart out. When he asked her what the trouble was, she explained that she had been dreaming she was at a husband auction. Some of the husbands were selling for a hundred dollars, some a thousand, and some even more. He rebuked her right sharply and told her to go back to sleep; it was ridiculous to think about any husband auction. The wife did go back to sleep, but the husband didn’t. Presently he woke her up and asked, “In that husband auction what did you dream I was bringing?” She answered, “That’s exactly why I was crying. Your kind were being bunched up like onions and sold two bunches for a nickel.”

HOUSTON — Stephen F. Austin used its advantages in experience, size and speed on its way to as 31-13 halftime lead over Houston Baptist at Husky Stadium in Houston Saturday night. Braxton Beardon’s 97-yard return of the opening kickoff set up the Lumberjacks’ first score of the game, a 2-yard run by tailback Gus Johnson just 20 seconds into the game. On Houston Baptist’s first possession, a power outage occurred following the Huskies’ first play from scrimmage, leading to a delay of an hour and 52 minutes. Once play resumed, the Lumberjacks showed their edges against the Huskies, a team in its first season of playing a full football season. SFA built a 24-6 by the end of the first quarter, tacking on scores on a 36-yard touchdown reception by wide receiver Aaron Thomas from Zach Conque, an eight-yard run by Conque and a 33-yard field goal by veteran kicker Jordan Wiggs. Houston Baptist’s first-quarter score came on Craig Bell’s 34-yard run that pulled the Huskies to within 14-6. Johnson had 98 yards on 10 carries at halftime. He moved past former Lumberjack Andy Hopkins’ 3,080 rushing yards and into second place in career yards. He trails only Leonard Harris, who rushed for 3,771 yards during his tenure in the 1990s. Conque’s first-quarter rushing touchdown was his ninth of the season. His touchdown pass to Thomas was his sixth touchdown pass of the season. Each team scored in the second quarter — Johnson on a 15-yard run with 9:25 left in the quarter and Bell on a 1-yard run with 2:09 left before halftime. Conque was 5-of-9 passing for 87 yards with the one touchdown pass in the half. Backup Joe Minden was 2-of-2 for 52 yards, including a 43-yard throw to D.J. Ward to the Houston Baptist 15yard line. Johnson then scored on the next play. Houston Baptist, which entered the

victory over Tennessee on Saturday night. Ole Miss (7-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) fell behind 3-0 early in the second quarter, but scored the next 34 points. With a relatively easy win, the Rebels continued their best start since 1962. Wallace completed 13 of 28 passes for 199 yards, throwing touchdown passes to Vince Sanders and Evan Engram. Sanders had 108 yards receiving. Ole Miss came into the game giving up just 11.8 points per game, which ranked first in the SEC and second in the country.
The Rebels lived up to those numbers, stuffing Tennessee’s running game and harassing quarterback Justin Worley nearly every time he tried to throw. Worley threw three interceptions and the Volunteers (3-4, 0-3) also lost a fumble. No. 9 Oregon 45, Washington 20: Freshman Royce Freeman ran for 169 yards and four touchdowns and No. 9 Oregon extended its winning streak over Washington to 11 straight games with a 45-20 victory on Saturday night. Marcus Mariota threw for 336 yards and two touchdowns for the
Ducks (6-1, 3-1 Pac-12), who won their second straight game as they distance themselves from a loss at home to Arizona on Oct. 2. Freeman’s four touchdowns were the most rushing touchdowns in a single game for a Duck since Kenjon Barner had five against USC in 2012. Cameron Van Winkle hit a pair of field goals for Washington (5-2, 1-2), which hasn’t defeated Oregon since the 2003 season. Sophomore Cyler Miles struggled to find a rhythm, throwing for 147 yards and a touchdown with an interception and a fumble.

Missed field goals sink Oklahoma against Kansas St. MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Clint Trickett threw three touchdown passes and West Virginia surprised sloppy No. 4 Baylor 41-27 Saturday. The Mountaineers (5-2, 3-1 Big 12) earned their first win over a top five opponent since beating No. 3 Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl after the 2007 season. West Virginia sacked Baylor’s Bryce Petty four times and limited the Bears to one touchdown after halftime. Baylor was penalized 18 times for a Big 12-record 215 yards. The old mark of 183 yards was set by Texas Tech against Rice in 2007. Trickett went 23 of 35 for 322 yards, his eighth straight 300-yard game going back to last season. Baylor (6-1, 3-1) couldn’t overcome a double-digit deficit as it did in a 61-58 win against TCU last week. Now the Bears will fall into a group of one-loss teams clawing for position the rest of the season for the College Football Playoff. This was hardly the point-aminute, yard-busting matchup of the past two years, when the winning team each time reached 70 points. Baylor entered the game as the nation’s most prolific offense but was held to 318 yards, 305 below its average and the lowest total of the season. Petty finished 16 of 36 for
223 yards and two scores. West Virginia’s Kevin White, the nation’s leading receiver, had eight catches for 132 yards and two scores. He broke the 1,000yard mark for the season and extended his streak of 100-yard receiving games to six. Covering White was frustrating for cornerback Xavien Howard, who was called for four of Baylor’s seven pass interference penalties. Shock Linwood scored Baylor’s only touchdown of the second half on a 1-yard run with time winding down in the third quarter that tied the score at 27. But it took Baylor three tries from inside the 2 to get into the end zone. Linwood, the Big 12’s rushing leader, was limited to 69 yards on 21 carries. White had a 36-yard TD catch in the first quarter and a 12-yarder early in the fourth for a 34-27 lead. Mario Alford capped the scoring with 7:35 left, lining up in the slot and turning a short pass from Trickett across the middle into a 39-yard TD. Down two touchdowns, Baylor then drove to the West Virginia 10, but Jay Lee caught a pass from Petty out of bounds in the end zone and the Mountaineers took over on downs. West Virginia lost both of its starting cornerbacks to injuries in the first half.
Daryl Worley injured his ribs after fumbling a second-quarter punt. Terrell Chestnut took a hard block from Coleman that sprang Antway Goodley for a 67-yard touchdown reception. Coleman initially was penalized and ejected. After a review, the call was reversed, the touchdown stood and Baylor led 20-14 midway through the second quarter. Neither Chestnut nor Worley returned. West Virginia also lost leading rusher Rushel Shell, who came up limping in the first quarter and remained out for the rest of the game. Dreamius Smith, the Mountaineers’ fourth-leading rusher, took charge late in the second quarter. He gained 39 yards on a drive that he capped with a 9-yard scoring run, and Josh Lambert kicked a 54-yard field goal as time expired in the half to put West Virginia ahead 24-20. Other games No. 14 Kansas State 31, No. 11 Oklahoma 30: Michael Hunnicutt missed a 19-yard field goal late as No. 14 Kansas State held off No. 11 Oklahoma 31-30 on Saturday afternoon. Oklahoma, trailing by a point in the fourth quarter, drove to the Kansas State 1-yard line, but couldn’t punch the ball in. Hunnicutt then missed the short field goal that would have put the
Sooners ahead with 3:53 remaining. Kansas State (5-1, 3-0 Big 12) took possession and ran out the clock. Hunnicutt, touted as an AllAmerica candidate before the season, missed a total of two short field goals and had an extra point blocked. Jake Waters passed for 225 yards and two touchdowns for the Wildcats, who defeated the Sooners 24-19 two years ago on their previous trip to Norman. Oklahoma’s Sterling Shepard tied a school record with 15 catches for 197 yards and Trevor Knight passed for 318 yards and three touchdowns for Oklahoma (5-2, 2-2). No. 8 Michigan State 56, Indiana 17: Connor Cook threw three touchdown passes, Jeremy Langford ran for three more scores and No. 8 Michigan State scored the final 35 points Saturday in a 56-17 rout at Indiana. Cook finished with 332 yards, Langford and Nick Hill each topped 100 yards on the ground and Tony Lippett had 123 yards receiving as coach Mark Dantonio moved into a tie for second on the school’s all-time victory list with No. 70. The Spartans (6-1, 3-0 Big Ten) have won five straight overall, 13 consecutive games over conference foes and tied the school record with an eighth straight road win in league play.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Blake Sims passed for 268 yards and three touchdowns and scored on a 43-yard run while leading No. 7 Alabama to 35 second-quarter points and a 59-0 pummeling of No. 21 Texas A&M on Saturday. The Crimson Tide (6-1, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) shut down the nation’s No. 4 offense and dominated a game that had produced two straight thrillers. Led by Sims, T.J. Yeldon and Amari Cooper, Alabama outgained the Aggies 602-172. Texas A&M (5-3, 2-3) has lost its past three games, all to teams now ranked in the top 10. Alabama set a school record for most points in a quarter and matched the second-most scored in a half while racing to a 45-0 halftime lead. Yeldon had 114 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries, all in the first half. Cooper gained 140 yards on eight catches with a pair of touchdowns. Other game No. 12 TCU 42, No. 15 Oklahoma State 9: Trevone Boykin threw for a career-high 410 yards with three touchdowns, two on long plays to Josh Doctson in the first quarter, and No. 12 TCU emphatically bounced back with a 42-9 AP photo victory over No. 15 Oklahoma State on Alabama’s Amari Cooper (9) runs the ball as Texas A&M’s Saturday. Doctson had seven catches for 225 Victor Davis (28) attempts a tackle during the first half of yards, a yard short of TCU’s school rea game on Saturday in Tuscaloosa, Ala. cord even with the scores of 77 and 84
yards. B.J. Catalon ran for 102 yards and two scores for the Horned Frogs (5-1, 2-1 Big 12). Oklahoma State (5-2, 3-1), which had won five in a row, was outgained 676 to 258 and held without a touchdown for the first time since a 27-0 loss to Oklahoma in the 2009 regular season finale. TCU quickly erased any notion of a hangover effect from its wild 61-58 loss at Baylor a week earlier, jumping ahead 21-3 on Doctson’s early touchdowns. No. 10 Georgia 45, Arkansas 32: Nick Chubb ran for 202 yards and two touchdowns and No. 10 Georgia dominated on the road for the second straight week, beating Arkansas 45-32 on Saturday. The Bulldogs (6-1, 4-1 Southeastern Conference), playing their second straight game without suspended running back Toddy Gurley, led 38-6 at halftime. They were sparked by a defense that followed up its shutout of Missouri by forcing three first-half turnovers. Chubb had a pair of first-half touchdowns, including a 43-yard sprint, and Hunter Mason added 179 yards on 10of-17 passing. Georgia has won five straight following a loss at South Carolina on Sept. 13. Jonathan Williams had 108 yards rushing to lead the Razorbacks, (3-4, 0-4). They have lost 16 straight SEC games.

Romo, Murray ready for Giants New York enters contest stuck at 3-3, Cowboys are in first six-game win streak since 2007 DALLAS (AP) — Tony Romo was in his first full season as a starter when the Dallas Cowboys last strung together enough wins to have one of the NFL’s best records. The franchise didn’t exist the only other time a running back started a season the way DeMarco Murray has. Speaking of history, that’s how the New York Giants categorize last week’s dud in Philadelphia. The Cowboys (5-1) play their first NFC East opponent Sunday after winning at Super Bowl champion Seattle. That triggered questions whether they can live with the sudden — and some would say unexpected — success. After three straight 8-8 seasons and a four-year playoff drought, there’s a pretty simple answer. “Anybody who’s been around here for an extended period of time, you know that humility’s right around the corner,” executive vice president Stephen Jones said. “This team’s been, this organization’s been mediocre the last three-plus years. So no one’s taking anything for granted.” The Giants (3-3) are the team stuck in the .500 rut right now after dropping their first two, bouncing back with a three-game winning streak, then losing 27-0 at Philadelphia, co-leader with Dallas in the division. New York also lost receiver Victor Cruz to a season-ending patellar tendon tear in his right knee against the Eagles, and will be without leading rusher Rashad Jennings for the second straight game. “I think we’ve responded well

Shields trade spurs Royals turnaround
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The moment Alex Gordon knew the Kansas City Royals were serious about winning can be traced to a cold December day when his wife heard they had traded for James Shields. The franchise had long suffered through a forgettable cast of starting pitchers, from Jay Witasick to Darrell May to Runelvys Hernandez. Hot prospects flamed out. Free agents fizzled. And every year, the Royals languished near the AL Central cellar. But things changed in December 2012. General manager Dayton Moore thought enough pieces had been assembled and all that was missing was the right starting pitcher — someone who could not only be the staff ace, but who could change a clubhouse culture accustomed to losing. Moore called up the Rays and made the deal. “That’s when I knew,” Gordon said, “that we were going for it.” Two years later, a trade that was panned by many has helped the Royals reach the World Series. Shields, the presumptive Game 1 starter Tuesday night against San Francisco, has been everything Moore had hoped he would be. “Those opportunities to acquire a top rotation starter and an impact pitcher like Wade Davis, they’re not presented year-in and year-out,” Moore said. “We were fortunate the timing of it was such that it was staring us in the face and put us in a position to compete in 2014.” It was a gamble. The Royals sent baseball’s top minor league talent, Wil Myers, and a bevy of other promising prospects to the Rays. They were mortgaging their future to win in the present. The trade paid immediate dividends. Shields went 13-9 with a 3.15 ERA last year, helping the Royals to their best record in more than 20 years. And over the course of the season, Davis established himself as one of the most dominant late-inning relievers in the game. This year, Shields has gone 14-8 with a 3.21 ERA, helping the Royals not only return to the postseason for the first time in 29 years but advance all the way to the Fall Classic. He started their wild-card win over Oakland. He allowed two runs over six innings in earning the win in a divisional game against the Angels. And he was good enough to help the Royals knock off Baltimore in the ALCS, running their postseason winning streak to 11 games.

Clowney returns to practice the surgery. “Right now it’s up to me what I can do,” he said. “I’m out there really testing my leg out, just seeing what I can really do and what I can’t do. So if I can do it, I’ll do it. If I can’t I’ll just let the coaches know: ‘that’s bothering me,’ and they’ll just take me out of that drill.” O’Brien said he’ll consult with Clowney and the team trainer before making a final decision. If he does play, he’ll likely be used sparingly to ease him back into things. “At the end of the day, that’s the most important thing. What’s the best thing for the player,” O’Brien said. “He’s worked hard to get back to this point. Good to see him out there (Friday). I’m sure he’ll go out there and work (Sunday) ... and
Monday he’ll tell us what he’s going to do.” The Texans could certainly use him to help beef up a pass rush that has managed just 10 sacks this season, which is tied for 19th in the league. “I’m very anxious to be out there with my teammates playing in an NFL game since I haven’t played since the first game,” Clowney said. “I’m looking forward to playing again and I’m just taking it one day at a time getting healthy.” The outside linebacker was injured in the season-opener on Sept. 7 and had surgery the next day. It was the third injury for Clowney since he was drafted in May. He had sports hernia surgery in the offseason and suffered a concussion during training camp.

Lamar rolls over Nicholls State, 63-21 THIBODAUX, La. (AP) — Kade Harrington ran for 123 yards and four touchdowns to lead Lamar to a 63-21 rout of Nicholls State on Saturday. Harrington had scoring runs of 19, 8 and 4-yards in the first half as Lamar built a 42-7 lead at the break. Harrington added a 3-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter. Caleb Berry threw a 59-yard touchdown pass to Mark Roberts, and hit Reggie Begelton for a 4-yard score. Berry was 27 of 32 for 330 yards, and his performance broke John Evans’
The Stephen F. Austin volleyball team completed its seventh sweep of the last eight games — this time over New Orleans (25-12; 25-15; and 25-11) on Saturday — to remain undefeated in Southland play at 8-0. “I felt like we came in and did exactly what we needed to do,” Ladyjack head coach Debbie Humphreys said. “We executed at a high level throughout.” The Ladyjacks came on strong on the attack. Justice Walker led the team with 12 kills, but a total of seven different Ladyjacks registered kills. Contributors included Jill Ivy, nine; Abby McIntyre, six; Jacque Allen, five; Tori Bates, five; Paige Holland, four; and Kelsi Bartlett, two. “Certainly that helps,” Humphreys said. “Everyone understands that they have to be able to go out and perform. Even those on the bench want to go out and do well. But, they take it well. They want the team to be successful.” McIntyre, a freshman, hit at a stellar 6-for-6 rate in two sets. “Abby, coming into the program, we felt was going to have a huge role,” Humphreys said. “There was a bit of an adjustment process, but the last few weeks she has really looked good in practice. So, we’ve been
looking to get her in. (This win) was big for her. She went in and was successful.” From the first set, the Ladyjacks took control and never relinquished it. In the first set, the Ladyjacks shot out to a 4-0 lead before the Privateers scored. By the end of the set, the Ladyjacks took a comfortable 25-12 win. The Privateers came out stronger in the second set, establishing an early 3-0 lead. But it wasn’t to last. The Ladyjacks responded with three-straight points to even the score and then established a 6-4 lead before taking the set 25-15. In the third set, the Ladyjacks took a 5-0 lead to kick off the set and never gave the Privateers any sort of opportunity. The Ladyjacks won the set and completed the sweep with a 25-11 victory. With the win, the Ladyjacks improve to 15-7 (8-0 SLC). “We’ve been impressive in the first half of the conference schedule,” Humphreys said. “We’ve had some success. But we’ve got to remember that there are still four weeks and eight games left to play.” The game against New Orleans was the second in a six-game home stand for the Ladyjacks. Next, they will host Northwestern State at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

HOUSTON (AP) — No. 1 overall draft pick Jadeveon Clowney returned to practice on Friday and hopes to play on Monday night when Houston visits Pittsburgh. Clowney practiced Friday in a limited capacity for the first time since the defensive standout at South Carolina had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. “I’ve always been looking forward to making plays for my team and helping us win,” Clowney said. “I hope I can play, but we’ll see.” Coach Bill O’Brien said they’ll decide before the game on Monday if he can play, and while hopeful that he can go, Clowney said he wouldn’t be surprised if he can’t.

That was the first full season with Romo, and they lost in the playoffs to the Giants. New York went on to beat undefeated New England in the Super Bowl.

LUBBOCK (AP) — Davis Webb threw for 288 yards and three touchdowns to lead Texas Tech to a 34-21 win over Kansas on Saturday, snapping the Red Raiders’ eight-game Big 12 skid that dated to last season. The loss for the Jayhawks was their fourth straight conference defeat this year and keeps interim coach Clint Bowen still in
search of his first win. Webb threw TD passes of 13, 8 and 6 yards. He also threw his 12th interception of the year, one of two errors the Jayhawks capitalized on with touchdowns. But it wasn’t enough for Kansas, which has won just one conference game in its last 34 outings.

Dragon senior quarterback Hunter McClellan, center, pushes through the Indian’s defense with a push from senior guard Jacob Cook (52) for the touchdown in the opening seconds of the second quarter of District 16-5A play Friday in Jacksonville.
Penalties, dropped passes doom late comeback bid by the Dragons By Matt DeGrood mdegrood@dailysentinel.com As the football season has gone on, the Nacogdoches Dragons have always found a way to win. Whether it be a last-second field goal, or a critical interception, the Dragons had the magic to make it happen. In a five-overtime 85-79 loss to Jacksonville on Friday, the Dragons just couldn’t quite make the plays they needed. “I thought we just played shabby,” Dragon head coach Bobby Reyes said. “First, you can’t have that many penalties. All those personal fouls killed us. It took us out of position to score a touchdown and a two-point conversion. We’ve got to be more disciplined. They were all retaliation penalties, pretty much. We’ve just got to forget what people are saying on the field.” For the Dragons, it all came down to their final drive in the fifth overtime. On the first play, Hunter McClellan threw a pass to Alex Gregory who caught it, but the catch was ruled out of bounds. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty followed, which set the Dragons back to second and 25. The Dragons were unable to recover and ended up turning it over on downs and giving the Indians the win. But that’s not to say they weren’t in position. The Dragons started the
game with two straight interceptions by Kyle Krenek (returned 25-yards for a touchdown) and Jaylon Lane. Near the end of the first half, the Dragons had a 21-7 lead but allowed Jacksonville to score to bring it to 21-14 going into halftime. While the second half mostly went the Indians’ direction, the Dragons mounted an impressive comeback down twotouchdowns with 2:21 left in the game. “We knew we could tie the game,” Reyes said. “We knew we had an opportunity to win. We stayed the course and scored a touchdown. Then, we recovered an onside kick and scored again.” McClellan both of the Dragons’ final two touchdowns of regulation, the first on a 57yard pass to Alex Gregory and the second on a keeper. “There were too many drops on our part,” Reyes said. “I think we had seven or eight drops. That’s very, very uncharacteristic. But I thought Hunter played extremely well. He had a terrific game. Bryce Matthews played really well. Tae Thomas played well. Tim Meyers on the offensive line played really well. Rodney Hill played well. Some of our kids on offense played well. But, at the same time, we had some busts. You can’t drop passes. It’s going to happen sometimes, but it can’t happen like it did (Friday).”
McClellan finished the game with 378 yards and three touchdowns through the air while rushing for 85 yards and four more touchdowns. The Indians dominated possession in the first half. However, despite the significant difference, the Dragons took a 21-14 point lead into halftime. When the Indians mounted their strong second-half start, the Dragons helped them along with several key plays. “There was a snap over our punter’s head,” Reyes said. “They returned a fumble for a touchdown. Then, we had a seven point lead, it was second and one and we picked up the first down only to fumble again. Those two fumbles and the snap over the punter’s head were 21 points we gave up. You can’t give away 21 points.” Interestingly, Friday’s loss was not the only multi-overtime affair these two squads have faced in recent history. In 2010, the Dragons and Indians went 12 overtimes and five hours in a game the Indians claimed 84-81. The loss drops the Dragons to 5-2 (2-2 District 16-5A), with three games remaining. Next, the Dragons host Lindale on Friday. “Things look fine,” Reyes said. If we win the next two, we are pretty much guaranteed a playoff spot. We have to beat Lindale and then get after Whitehouse. We’ve just got to win the next two.”

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets announced Saturday they have acquired wide receiver Percy Harvin from the Seattle Seahawks for a conditional draft pick. Making official a trade that was reported Friday, the Jets get a star of last season’s Super Bowl but a player who is injury prone. Harvin brings versatility and game-breaking skills to the Jets, who have lost their last six games to fall to 1-6. New York released receiver David Nelson to make room for Harvin. General manager John Idzik called Harvin a “dynamic player who has been productive on offense and special teams.”

On the move:
Breeding study says whitetail rut should be in full swing opening day
by Matt Williams Outdoors Writer
Opening day of deer season is a hallowed event in Texas, one that hinders the sleep of many and lures thousands of folks of all ages and from all walks of life into the pre-dawn darkness to hunt what many consider to be the ultimate big game animal in all of North America. It’s the opening act for an economic cash cow that pumps big bucks into the Texas economy and carries some rural communities from one year to the next. One of the neat things about deer hunting is it is a non-discriminatory sport. I say that because it can be enjoyed by everyone from high school cheerleaders and housewives to bankers and blue collar workers, so long as they have a key to a private gate or inexpensive permit in their pocket that allows access to more than 1 million acres of public land across this sprawling state. Some public tracts can even be utilized for free, provided you have a hunting license and abide by other hunting regulations. All total, roughly 700,400 hunters (most of them Texas residents) spent an accumulative 5.5 million hunter days chasing Texas whitetails last season. More than half of those hunters (58 percent) found their target at least once, resulting in a total harvest of nearly 626,000 animals, including 300,535 bucks and about 295,000 does. One of the main reasons deer hunting is so big in Texas is because we have such an enormous deer herd. Texas’ whitetail population numbers about 4 million animals, way more than any other state. Factor in the millions of acres where they can be hunted, the liberal number of tags on our licenses and the wide variety ways the tasty meat can be prepared for the table and it is easy to understand why so many Texans swap their urban sprawl for a few days in whitetail nirvana every year. If deer hunting fever isn’t running especially high around your hunting camp this year, it should be. That’s because the calendar timing of opening day couldn’t be scripted any better. Unless, of course, a welcomed cold front somehow gets thrown into the forecast. As always, opening day rolls around on the first Saturday in November. This year the revered day falls on Nov. 1. That will allow hunters in many parts of the state to maximize their time spent in the field during the prerut and rutting cycles. The rut is the period when whitetail deer and other big game animals breed. It’s a period when bucks high on testosterone tend to throw caution to the wind in search of receptive does. In other words, it’s a time when bucks are prone to make silly mistakes they normally would not make. So, when does the meat of the rut take place in Texas? According to data collected during an intensive breeding chronology study conducted by Texas Parks and Wildlife biologists in the early 1990s, the peak of the rut varies with the region of the state. The study was based on data

These three graphs depict peak peak breeding cycles for whitetails in the Pineywoods, Post Oak and Gulf Prairies and Oaks regions, according to a TPWD breeding chronology study. (Source: TPWD) gathered by examining more than 2,400 does collected in 16 different study areas across the state over a three-year period. It’s the most deer ever utilized by a study of this kind in Texas. Biologists were able to determine the approximate dates the individual does were bred by examining fetus lengths. Their findings shed some valuable light on when peak rutting activity occurs from one region to the next. Following is a synopsis of the “The Rut in White-Tailed Deer” study by geographic region, according to the TPWD website. A quick review indicates opening week should be prime time to be in the woods, especially in the eastern portion of the state:
Pineywoods Most breeding activity happened from Oct. 21 to Jan. 5. Peak breeding dates were Nov. 22 in the northern portion and Nov. 12 in the southern part of the Pineywoods. Does showed a 96 percent pregnancy rate and averaged 1.7 fawns each. The majority (90 percent) of the fawns are born by June 29 in the northern area and by June 19 in the southern area. Interestingly, a subsequent TPWD breeding chronology study currently under way on the Davy Crockett National Forest indicates that there may be a slight shift in the timing of rut taking place in that area of the Pineywoods, along with a higher percentage of does being bred during the peak of the cycle. Scientists believe the change may be linked to improvements in the herd age structure that have come as the result of antler restrictions
Opening day of the 2014-15 deer season falls on November 1 this year, which should put East Texas hunters the woods during the heart of the rut, or real close to it. Big bucks like this one are prone to make serious mistakes when the breeding cycle puts them on the move in search of receptive does.
implemented in the mid-2000s. The second study, which began with doe collections in 2006 in order to establish a pre-antler restriction baseline, is being carried out in five-year intervals. The study will conclude in 2016, according to TPWD wildlife biologist Micah Poteet of Lufkin.
Prairies and marshes The 1990s study showed the earliest whitetail breeding in the state in this geographic region. Breeding occurred in the period spanning Aug. 24 to Nov. 25. There were two study areas: the northern study area had a peak date of September 30, while the southern area was a month later with an Oct. 31 peak breeding date. Does showed a 92 percent breeding success and 1.6 fetuses were found on the average for each doe sampled. The majority (90 percent) of the fawns are born by May 10 in the northern area and by June 6 in the southern area.
Post Oak Savannah The conception dates for does in this region ranged from September 30 to January 16 during the study period. Two study areas were used. The peak breeding dates for the central and southern portions were almost identical. The peak dates were Nov. 10 and 11, respectively. Does showed a 92 percent breeding success and 1.7 fetuses were found on the average for each doe sampled. The study shows the majority (90 percent) of the fawns are born by June 17 in the central area and by June 26 in the southern area.
Rolling plains
Most does were bred from Oct. 8 to Dec. 30 in the three years studied. Study areas showed a peak date of December 3 in the north and November 20 in the south. The Rolling Plains had the highest incidence of pregnancy, with 97 percent. Biologists found an average of 1.7 fawns for each doe examined. The majority (90 percent) of the fawns are born by July 2 in the northern area and by June 26 in the southern area.
Edwards plateau Conception dates for this region ranged from as early as Oct. 9 to a late date of Jan. 30. The Edwards Plateau, Texas’ highest deer production region, was divided into three areas for the study. The eastern part had a peak breeding date of Nov. 7. Peak breeding for the central portion was November 24, and the western area had a peak date of Dec. 5. An average of 90 percent of the does were bred and the average number of fetuses found was 1.3 per doe. The majority (90 percent) of the fawns are born by June 14 in the eastern area, June 26 in the central area, and by July 13 in the western area.
Cross timbers Conception dates in the Cross Timbers and Prairies were as early as October 13 and extended to December 17. In the northern portion of the region the average breeding date was November 15. The average breeding date in the southern part was November 17. Biologists recorded an average of 1.7 fetuses
per doe and 95 percent of the females had been successfully bred. The majority (90 percent) of the fawns are born by June 15 in the northern area and by June 20 in the southern area.
Trans-Pecos Conception dates in the Trans-Pecos ranged from as early as November 4 to as late as January 4 during the 3-year study. The peak date of the breeding season was December 8. This ecological region experienced drought conditions during the last two years of the study. The resulting poor nutrition was reflected in the observed reproductive rates. Only 81 percent of the does were pregnant and the average number of fetuses was a low 1.0 fetuses per doe. The majority (90 percent) of the fawns are born by July 16.
South Texas plains South Texas had the latest rut in the state. Breeding dates ranged from November 9 to February 1 during the three years. In the eastern part of the area the peak breeding date was December 16, while in the west it was December 24. The pregnancy rate was 95 percent and there were 1.5 fetuses for each sampled doe. The majority (90 percent) of the fawns are born by July 19 in the eastern area and by July 25 in the western area. Matt Williams is a freelance writer based in Nacogdoches.

Alabama angler convicted of tampering with sporting event by Matt Williams Outdoors Writer An Alabama fisherman was recently convicted of tampering with a sporting event after being charged with cheating during bass tournament held last summer on Lake Logan Martin. According to reports on aon.com, Steven Ray Macon of Pell City, AL., was fined $250 plus court costs and ordered to pay $500 in restitution to the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for its investigation. Macon also received a one year suspended jail sentence and 24 months probation. His probation terms ban him from competing in tournaments until his sentence is satisfied. According to aon.com reports, Alabama game warden “Jason Bassett said he received a tip from a fisherman in June that he had witnessed a boat run up into a slough and quickly leave and head directly to a tournament weigh-in. The man said he was suspicious and checked the area the following day and found a basket hanging under a
pier. Bassett said he investigated and found the basket. It had two bass inside. Bassett said he positioned himself where he could look down on the area during the next tournament, and he witnessed Macon remove the biggest fish from the basket and put it in his livewell and head to the weigh-in. Bassett contacted Marine Police officer Coty Brown, who was waiting at the tournament weigh-in. Brown witnessed Macon weigh in the fish. Macon was arrested on the spot.”
BASS sets record Alabama-based BASS recently completed its 2014 Elite Series regular season, which included eight stops to venues as far south as the Sabine River in eastern Texas to as far north as Bays de Noc in Michigan. In the process, the organization saw a record 128,600 fishing fans in attendance at the daily weigh-ins and outdoor expos that are held in unison with every Elite Series tournament. Interestingly, the tournament that generated
the most fanfare of 2014 was held at a location better better known for its hoagies and cheesesteak sandwiches than its bass fishing -- Philadelphia. That tournament, held on the Delaware River, was the first-ever Elite Series event held in a truly metropolitan area. BASS’ Eric Lopez said the Philadelphia tournament also ranks as the third highest attended event in Elite Series history. Elite Series angler Mike Iaconelli, who was born in Philadelphia, was clearly the fan favorite at the daily weigh-ins that were attended by a flamboyant crowd.
Platinum announces dates The Platinum Team Trail recently announced its 2014-15 schedule, and there are some East Texas lakes on list of destinations. The first stop for the popular circuit is Dec. 6-7 on Sam Rayburn, followed by a Jan. 10-11 event on Falcon Lake in deep South Texas. The final regular season tournaments will be summertime events, June 6-7 on Lake Ray Roberts and July 2526 on Toledo Bend. A Top 70 Championship is will
be held on Lake LBJ on an undisclosed date. Registration is currently under way by phone with a limit of 100 teams. Entry fee for each event is $1,000 and $500 for the optional side pot. To register, call 214-864-3625 or check out platinumteamtrail.com for more details.
Rambo, Clark are champs A pair of East Texas bass pros teamed up to win the 2014 Bass Champs Championship held Oct. 1112 on the Red River out of Shreveport, LA. Rusty Clark of Sam Rayburn and Cory Rambo of Orange brought in a six-fish limit (3 per day) totaling 20.45 pounds to top the 222 team field. They won a fully rigged Skeeter FX 20 and bonuses from Minn Kota and Sure Life. The anglers reported catching their fish in Pool 5 using River2Sea frogs. Adam Miranda of Brownwood fished solo to take second with 18.34. Rounding out the Top 5 were Shonn Blassingame and Cody Burdine, 17.85; Russ Carter and Scott Bailey, 17.79; and Brett Bellard and Nick Simon, 17.48.

Advice
DEAR ABBY: I am a retired widow, crippled with rheumatoid arthritis. Every October, I start dreading Halloween, which I consider to be a legal form of extortion. Living on Social Security, I really don’t want to waste money for candy. Also, it is difficult for me to get up and down every five minutes to hand out candy. Too many of the “children” are 16- to 19-year-old males. I have tried keeping the lights off and “hiding” in my bedroom, but I wake the next morning to find toilet paper in my trees and shrubbery. Once, my front door had been sprayed “Stingy Old Witch.” The police said they couldn’t act because I didn’t see who did it. Of course, even if I had seen them, they probably would have been in a costume. Do you have any suggestions? — GROUCHY GRANDMA IN AUSTIN, TEXAS DEAR GRANDMA: Yes. Because what you’ve done hasn’t worked, buy a large bag of inexpensive candy — they are often for sale at this time of year — and when the “extortionists” knock on your
Best Bets
IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY — This will be a year of activity, not reflection. Everything you do will affect your future success, so keep the momentum going. Stay up to date with the latest trends in your field so that you are fully prepared for any challenges that lie ahead. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Opt for a change of scenery. A residential move may not be practical, but a short getaway to a national park or scenic destination can revive and rejuvenate you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Practicality comes first. If you put your personal and financial matters in order and catch up on some overdue household chores, you’ll keep your day free of stress. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Don’t let the advice of a critic or a disparaging remark cause you to give up on your dreams. The pleasure you receive from undertaking enjoyable projects is worth all the slings and arrows. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You will crave new ideas and stimulation. Look into activities that will take you outside of your comfort zone. If you resolve to try something new, you won’t be sorry. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Legal documents should be your focus. Taking care of small but tedious tasks will set your mind at ease. Once you have everything in order, you will feel free to move on. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You will feel better about a troubled relationship once you
get your feelings out in the open. Don’t make accusations or ultimatums. Remain calm and reasonable, and deal with matters maturely. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — It’s a good time to complete unfinished projects and flesh out ideas that you’ve been contemplating. Get all your materials in order ahead of time to avoid scrambling and becoming discouraged. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You may feel like you are in a rut, but if you make personal changes that perk you up, it will give you enough incentive to get moving in a positive direction. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You will be dismayed by what’s going on in your community. If you keep your plans in place, everything will turn in your favor, regardless of what develops. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Let the company of friends and pleasant surroundings help to elevate your mood. You need a break from the problems you’ve been faced with lately. Recreational, lighthearted activities will do you good. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Reconnect with someone from your past. It’s possible that you have more in common now than you did before. A stroll down memory lane is likely to bring fond recollections. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You may be confused about a current personal situation. Try not to dwell on negative happenings. Be patient and let things develop naturally. A new hobby will distract you.

Daughter’s colored contacts frustrate mother
DEAR HARRIETTE: My 18-yearold daughter just came home with colored contact lenses. To me, she looks like an alien. She has dark brown eyes that she was born with, only now she put blue lenses on top of them. I’m sorry, but she looks crazy. I know she is trying to make her own way in her life, but this is just not a good idea. As her mother, I believe I am supposed to tell her, and so I did. As you might imagine, she was offended. Then she dug in her heels and said she likes them, so leave her alone. I don’t want to put my foot down too hard on this

Buy the dream car!
Dear Dave: I’m in college, but I’m not the typical college student. I’ve gone back to law school after working for several years. My wife and I have followed your plan, and we’re completely debt-free. I’m Dave Ramsey cash flowing school, and we’ve been fortunate enough to build up about $2 million in investments. The other day I saw what I consider to be a collectible car I’d love to have — a 1988 Pontiac Fiero that’s in excellent condition for $10,000. Should we wait until I finish school, or is it okay to buy it now? — Rick Dear Rick: Wow, I’m impressed. You guys are in great shape. You’re totally debt-free, cash flowing law school and you have $2 million sitting there. My advice? As long as you’ve got the cash on hand, and it won’t hinder your college plans, your lifestyle or come out of your investments, buy the car! You’ve worked your butts off to the point that $10,000 is nothing in your world. It’s like most people buying a biscuit for breakfast. I mean, a purchase like this doesn’t even move the financial meter. Remember, there are three things you can do with money — save, spend and give. You’re in an incredible position here, so there’s no reason not to have a little fun. You’ve earned it. Now, you might have to open your own practice when you’re through. I remember the Fiero, and owning something like that might make you unemployable. I’m kidding, of course. But you guys have done a fantastic job. You’ve been smart with your money, and now there’s nothing wrong with having some fun and buying a little toy. Congratulations, Rick! — Dave Dear Dave: I loaned some money to a good friend recently. He’s going to help me with a job I’m working on, so do you think I should pay him for the work or just forgive the debt instead? — Charlie Dear Charlie: The big question is whether or not you’ve already agreed to pay him for the work. Another is how he views the situation. In his mind, he may just be helping a friend and looking at it as he still owes you the money. If you don’t already have an agreement, my advice would be to ask him what his expectations are. Just talk to him, find out what he’s thinking and figure out what seems fair to you both. The big thing at this point is that you’re on the same page. If you have already agreed on a certain

Bowers Overhead Doors
It was 1982 when Bowers purchased the building that East Texas Blind and Screen Shop had resided in for some time “before the economy had gotten so bad” and they had to close down, he said. The services Bowers has offered has remained consistent since opening 35 years ago. “We sell and install overhead garage doors and operators, and we make custom screens and sell custom blinds,” Bowers said. “We really are a subcontractor is what it amounts to, but we also sell directly. Everyone gets the same price. I don’t give discounts to a contractor or anything like that.”

10 ways to manage your money SFA is continuously monitoring the wellbeing of its students. From a financial standpoint, the university recognizes that students are on a limited budget and that the cost of obtaining colBanker Phares lege degrees has steadily increased in recent years. The university has implemented programs to assist students with their finances. One such course available to all students is “personal finance.” The course provides students with information that will assist them in managing their finances while they are in school and in the years to come. One excellent textbook used in the course is “Personal Finance — Turning Money into Wealth” authored by Arthur Keown. The book lists the 10 principles of personal finance. As an introduction, Dr. Keown states, “Although it is not necessary to understand personal finance in order to understand the principles, it is necessary to understand the principles in order to understand personal finance.” He then lists the 10 principles. Principle 1: The best protection is knowledge. This will allow a person to differentiate between the good and the bad advice. It allows a person to make intelligent investment decisions. Principle 2: Nothing happens without a plan. Dr. Keown states that people spend more time planning their vacations than they do planning their financial future, and that money cannot be saved without thinking about it. Principle 3: Know the time value of money. This is the most important concept in personal finance. To create wealth, savings must be invested and allowed to grow over time. Principle 4: Taxes affect personal finance decisions. No investment should be made without first knowing the effect of taxes on the return from the investment. Principle 5: Bad things happen, or the importance of liquidity. Liquid funds should be kept on hand to meet an unexpected need such as job loss or injury. Principle 6: Waste not, want not. A person should spend money wisely, otherwise known as “smart spending.” According to studies, 17 million Americans are “shopaholics” — meaning they cannot control their urge to spend. That’s one-twentieth of the population. Principle 7: Protect against major catastrophes. Think back a few years to the ricanes had on the Gulf Coast

ne of the most precious aspects of voting is just how hard people before us have fought to protect it. Think back to the early American patriots who stood up for the right to vote and literally gave their lives for that freedom. Those times may seem like they are in the distant past, but there are still many countries in the world where voting is a point of cultural oppression. You owe it to those who went before you to carry out your civic duty. The founding fathers believed that an informed electorate was necessary to maintain an effective society.

Many states have leveraged the exercise of voting as an opportunity to honor our veterans. North Carolina, for example, successfully launched its program in time for the 2008 general election, and successfully honored more than 2,000 veterans. Voters can honor a veteran on any Election Day by requesting a PIN or by sharing a story that may be posted on the North Carolina State Board of Elections website. Many other states honor veterans on election day in that way. Texas doesn’t have that program at this time, but we should vote to honor those sacrifices throughout our history, the sacrifices that are the very reason we have the freedom to choose the candidates who lead this state and this country.

t appears organizations that advocate the legalization of marijuana will ask Texas lawmakers next session to reform laws they say too severely punish non-violent offenders for misdemeanor possession. Specifically, the Marijuana Policy Project wants to replace Class B possession offenses (two ounces or less) with civil penalties — eliminating, of course, the possibility of jail time and criminal records. We agree that prosecutors could better spend their time on more serious offenses, and that law-enforcement officers could focus their best efforts elsewhere. Not to mention, an 18-year-old kid shouldn’t be labeled a drug offender for the rest of his life because an officer found 0.3 ounces of marijuana in his back pocket during a traffic stop. He shouldn’t be sharing a jail cell with a 45-year-old man who assaulted his wife three times in the last 10 months. To be sure, every county prosecutor in Texas has different priorities. Some are more important than others. Here, our law-enforcement agencies have made it a priority to arrest suspects for misdemeanor marijuana possession instead of issuing summonses, and our county attorney encourages and supports the policy. Nothing is wrong with that. But with Class B cases making up 97 percent of misdemeanor possession in the county so far this year, we wonder if lawmakers should reform these laws to free up precious resources and time — at the county attorney’s office and at our law-enforcement agencies.
YOUR TURN
Are leaders turning to God? Every day we see stories in the news of this city or that state or the federal government infringing upon our individual rights. We look at one another and often say, “What should we do? Should we fight or should we surrender?” God calls us to obey our highest authority. We render to Caesar what is Caesar’s, but to God what is God’s (Matthew 22:21). We obey civil authorities (Romans 13:1-7) unless they order us to disobey our supreme authority. In that case, we choose to obey God at any cost. When the Sanhedrin — the supreme legal authority of the nation — ordered the apostles to cease preaching, they replied, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.” Acts 4:19-20 We must serve our highest authority and we must seek his wisdom in knowing how best to serve him. Toward the end of his reign, King David faced three years of famine. The economy was devastated; the nation’s future in doubt. So, “David sought the face of the Lord.” 2 Samuel 21:1 God showed him that sins committed by the previous king needed to be rectified. David did what was necessary to redeem the situation and God was able again to bless the land. The problem was something the king would probably not have identified apart from divine revelation. But he was wise enough to turn first to God, then to follow God’s leading. Are our leaders turning to God for wisdom? Are you? Mike Mills, Martinsville

The Associated Press — Today is Sunday, Oct. 19, the 292nd day of 2014. There are 73 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 19, 1814, the first documented public performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner” took place at the Holliday Street Theater in Baltimore, where it was performed by an actor now known only as “Mr. Hardinge.” On this date: In 1781, British troops under Gen. Lord Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia, as the American Revolution neared its end. In 1914, the U.S. Post Office began delivering mail with government-owned cars, as opposed to using contracted vehicles. The First Battle of Ypres began during World War I. In 1944, the U.S. Navy began accepting black women into WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service). The play “I Remember Mama,” by John Van Druten, opened at the Music Box Theater on Broadway. In 1951, President Harry S. Truman signed an act formally ending the state of war with Germany. In 1960, the United States began a limited embargo against Cuba covering all commodities except medical supplies and certain food products. In 1984, Rev. Jerzy Popieluszko (YAYR’-zee pah-peeWOOSH’-goh), a Polish Catholic priest with ties to the Solidarity labor movement, was abducted and murdered by communist secret police. In 1987, the stock market crashed as the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 508 points, or 22.6 percent in value, to close at 1,738.74.

amount, and the value of the work is pretty close to the amount you loaned him, you might talk to him about the possibility of knocking out the debt that way. He could work off the debt while helping you on this project. There’s really no right or wrong answer to this question, Charlie. However, I would recommend not loaning money to friends or family in the future. Sometimes things work out and everyone’s happy. But in most cases it changes the dynamics of the relationship. The Bible says that the borrower is a slave to the lender, and there’s a lot of truth to that statement financially and
emotionally. I’ve seen situations like this go bad and even ruin friendships. It sounds like you two are good buddies and have a great bond, but if someone close to you really needs help, and you’re not enabling bad financial behavior in the process, just make the money a gift. Sooner or later this kind of thing will mess up a relationship. — Dave ——— The Dave Ramsey Show is heard by more than 8 million listeners each week on more than 500 radio stations.

Felon, now clean, wants to hunt Dear Jeff: I got a felony charge in 1982 for possession of a controlled substance. I was guilty and served 90 days in a Texas correctional facility. I have been clean ever since and would Jeff Bates like to be able to take my grandsons hunting. Is there anything that can be done? Thanks, “Looking for Quality Time” Dear “Quality Time”: Unfortunately, there is very little that I can do to help. As you probably know, a felony conviction cannot be expunged unless you received deferred adjudication for your offense. Under the Texas Penal Code, you are allowed to own a gun in your home, but that does not allow for hunting. Your only real option, and it may not be an option in your situation, is to apply
for restoration of your civil rights. The application can be submitted directly to the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, or directly to the sheriff in the county in which you live. Dear Jeff: We are at the end of our rope. We sold an automobile to a person who agreed to make monthly payments and pay for insurance. The vehicle’s title is still in our name, and we are still making payments on it as well. Now, the buyer has stopped paying, although he still has the vehicle! We have tried having him served with lawsuit papers, but are unable to get it done. We would like the car back. What do we do? Everyone just seems to tell us to wait, but we are making payments and now carrying the insurance also. Signed, “Dude, Have You Seen My Car?” Dear “Have You Seen”: I would recommend that you call a repo service to
see if they can help you get the vehicle back. After you have the vehicle, you can try to collect the money that is owed. I should warn you that it is probably a violation of your note with your lender for you to resell the vehicle to someone else.

Bowers » From 1D Prior to starting his own business, Bowers worked for nearly two decades in the Texas Department of Transportation. Even at 75 years old “and knocking on 76,” he said he still gets his hands dirty hanging doors when he is needed.
“I subcontract to an individual that does a good job,” Bowers said. “I still hang doors, but I couldn’t be two places at one time. I can make more money sitting here on the telephone than sitting out there installing.” Bowers said he was born

Fear-gauge flashes wild week on Wall Street
NEW YORK (AP) — Europe’s economy sputters, oil prices plunge and stocks start swinging wildly. Wall Street’s long dormant “fear index” now predicts more turbulence ahead. The Chicago Board Options Exchange’s volatility index, known as the VIX, doubled over the past month: from 12 to 26. Although that’s nowhere near the 80 reached in the financial crisis, the recent spike means traders are bracing for more big jumps and steep drops.
Slowing growth in Europe and the developing world has stirred up lingering doubts among investors just as the Federal Reserve plans to wind down a bond-buying program that many considered a driving force behind the stock market’s five-year run. Traders have knocked the Standard & Poor’s 500 index down 4 percent this month and retreated into their old hiding spots, U.S. and German government bonds.

Obama’s under-used credit card declined in NY WASHINGTON (AP) — The Secret Service is charged with watching the president’s back, but who’s watching his wallet? When his credit card was declined last month while dining in New York, President Barack Obama wondered if he had become a victim of identity theft. “It turned out, I guess I don’t
use it enough,” Obama said Friday at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. “They thought there was some fraud going on,” he said, chatting while announcing a government plan to tighten security for debit cards that transfer federal benefits like Social Security to millions of Americans. “I was trying to explain to the
waitress ‘No, I really think that I’ve been paying my bills.’” Fortunately first lady Michelle Obama was able to whip out a credit card they could use. Identity theft is a growing problem and an estimated 100 million people have been affected by security breaches in the past year at retailers like Target and Home Depot.

‘The next day is going to be better’
Photos by Andrew D. Brosig/The Daily Sentinel
Above: Sarah Richardson wears a pink head bandana bearing a sequenced pink ribbon design during an interview Oct. 9 at Memorial Hospital in Nacogdoches. The ribbon signifies the ongoing battle against breast cancer while the bandana covers her hair, which is just growing back following the aggressive chemotherapy she took in preparation for surgery to remove her breasts following a diagnosis in August 2013. Left: Richardson walks past the chapel on the third floor Oct. 9 at Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital on Mound Street, where she volunteers. Richardson was diagnosed following a biopsy in August 2013 and underwent chemotherapy and a double mastectomy, surviving in part with the aide and help of her husband, Jesse.
Sarah Richardson stayed positive, overcame cancer Editor’s Note: This article is part of a series featuring breast cancer survivors.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
By CHRISTINE BROUSSARD cbroussard@dailysentinel.com ark, short curls wound around the edges of the pink bandana bedazzled with a breast cancer survivor ribbon. The cloth that now kept the black locks in place just months before had hidden the smooth scalp of a cancer patient fighting to keep her own life. A Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital auxiliary member for many years, Sarah Richardson sat in her pink auxiliary vest and matching head cover, recounting the many moments of terror — and relief — in her battle with breast cancer. “There were rough days, but the one thing I said to myself was ‘the next day is going to be better,’” Richardson said, seated next to her husband
D
and fellow Memorial Hospital auxiliary member, Jesse, in the waiting room of the facility’s third-floor intensive care unit where she works. “I still say that to this day — the next day is going to be better.” Last August was the fateful month Richardson received her breast cancer diagnosis. Having suffered for years from fibrocystic breast disease, regular and continual checks were nothing new to Richardson. “I have fibrocystic disease in my breasts, so it was important that I go every year, then it got to the point I was getting one every six months,” she said. “Two years ago, I had a biopsy and it was negative, then the biopsy this past year was positive.” Though cancer was only found in one breast, it was Richardson’s decision to undergo a double mastectomy. “It was just in one breast, but I decided I wasn’t going to worry about the right breast,” she said. “They tried to talk me into just doing the left breast and I said, ‘no, I don’t want to worry the rest of my life about the other breast.’ My first thought was complete mastectomy. (Jesse) said he didn’t marry me for my breasts, so that was good.” The support of her husband is something Richardson credited as a staple in her battle
and recovery. “The husband has to give you support,” she said. “He is the main support. That is my opinion. He does your meals, he sees that you get to the doctor, he goes with me to every doctors visit. Everything.” Jesse Richardson said “of course” the experience was tough, but never thought twice about being his wife’s support. “It’s a sickness and we have to do what we can — what more is there?” he said. “It’s her body, so whatever she wants to do I’m for it. I don’t see a whole lot of difference between that and the support that she gave me some years ago when I had to have a colon resection. It’s an illness and we are going to get through it.” Regular mammographies and sustaining a healthy weight and eating habits are two of Richardson’s predominant pieces of advice. “Your white cells are so depleted,” she explained. “I ended up in the hospital twice because my white cells went down to practically zero. I had no immunity. You have to keep your weight down, exercise and eat well.” Starting in September of last year, Richardson underwent eight treatments of chemotherapy over a sixmonth period. In February, she was told that she was cancer free.
“
It was just in one breast, but I decided I wasn’t going to worry about the right breast. They tried to talk me into just doing the left breast and I said, ‘no, I don’t want to worry the rest of my life about the other breast.’”

We will keep this account on-going as long as it takes to raise the money to re-wire this house. Many folks have asked who this fundraiser is for and the location of the home.

Living in the dark for more than two years can have a tremendous negative effect on anyone. Again, we are thankful for the community servants who have contributed toward this situation. Another situation is the “GED” mother who is still trying to land a good job. She is on the waiting list at the Adult Learning Center to begin the classes to complete her GED. She is cleaning houses for a couple of people. Her daughter is doing well at her job and her son is still having great success at school.

Wind Symphony, Symphonic Band to perform music of Walczyk The SFA Wind Symphony and Symphonic Band will feature the music of composerin-residence Kevin Walczyk when the ensembles perform at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in W.M. Turner Auditorium on the SFA campus. Walczyk, who is professor of music at Western Oregon University, will be on campus prior to the concert to work with SFA music students, according to David Campo, associate director of bands at SFA and conductor of the Wind Symphony. The Symphonic Band, under the direction of Tamey Anglley, assistant director of
bands at SFA, will open the concert performing “Flourish for Wind Band” by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Originally written as an overture to a pageant in the Royal Albert Hall in 1939, the piece Walczyk has also been adapted for brass band and symphony orchestra, according to Anglley. The Symphonic Band will next feature Walczyk’s “Children’s Folksong Suite” written in 2007.
The Symphonic Band will also perform “Shadow Rituals” by Michael Markowski, which won first prize in The Frank Ticheli Composition Contest in 2006. The Symphonic Band will close its portion of the concert with “Trafalgar March” by Wilhelm Zehle. The Wind Symphony will perform two of Walczyk’s works. “From Glory to Glory” was commissioned by the Midwest International Band and Orchestra Conference to honor and celebrate the life of Heather Reu, daughter of Molly and Ray Cramer. Cramer is a past president of the
Midwest Clinic and former director of bands at Indiana University. “Heather’s life was lived with energy, commitment, passion and an incredible love for her adopted children,” Campo said. “Walczyk dedicated this work to all those who were blessed by Heather’s life.” “Visionplace of Souls” was composed as a memoriam to those who sacrificed their lives during the rescue efforts surrounding the events of Sept. 11, 2001. Tickets are $8 for adults, $6 for seniors and $3 for students and youth.

CROSSWORD
Mr. Know it all
Things historical
These answers are the opposite of Murphy’s Law
A tragic figure of the Texas Republic: Juan Seguin
Q: I don’t suppose there is anyone who is not familiar with Murphy’s Law — anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Is there an opposite to this law? — F.R., Globe, Arizona A: There is! It’s Yhprum’s Law, which simply states, “Everything Gary Clothier that can work, will work.” By the way, “Yhprum” is “Murphy” spelled backward. Q: Who is the voice of the GEICO Gecko? — V.J.L., Utica, New York A: The GEICO Gecko is voiced by Jake Dylan Wood, an English actor best known for playing Max Branning in the sitcom “EastEnders.” The gecko first appeared in 1999 and was voiced by Kelsey Grammer, with what has been described as a stiff English accent. Later, Dave Kelly became the voice of the anthropomorphic day gecko. Jake Wood took over in 2010. DID YOU KNOW? Shelley Winters and Marilyn Monroe were roommates in the late 1940s in Hollywood. Q: At a dinner party, the host had an album of recent travel pictures. One picture intrigued me; it was a tower of humans, six people tall, as I recall. When and where did this tradition begin? What is the name of this human tower? — F.L., San Diego A: I suppose you could say these towers are truly manmade. They are called castells (a Catalonian word that means “castles”), and they originated in the southern part of Catalonia at the end of the 18th century. Catalonia is located in western Spain, with Barcelona as its major city. Each castell is made up of a team, called colles, of individuals, called castellers. Traditionally, castellers wear white trousers, a black sash, a bandana and a colored team shirt. At the very top of the castell are the canallas (youngsters), who make up the crown of the castle because they are more agile and light-footed and weigh less. Castells can be up to 10 stories tall, and, yes, they often do collapse and injuries do occur. According to UNESCO, the castell is a “Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.” Q: I’m going through my father’s collection of stuff. I came across his pay stubs from the 1960s, when he worked for Motorola. I’m curious, when did Motorola go into operation, and what does the name mean? — Y.K., Aurora, Illinois A: In 1928, Paul Galvin created what would be known as Motorola in Chicago, though the company was known as Galvin Manufacturing Corp. at the time. The company manufactured a battery eliminator, which made it possible to use an electrical source other than a battery, and eventually the car radio. The name Motorola was introduced in 1930, and it comes from “motor” and the popular audio suffix “-ola.”

inners write the history” is a frequently repeated cliché. Like many of those “old sayings” it contains a hint of truth since our history is often colored by who gets to tell it. The Texas Revolution, for example, is quite often portrayed as Scott an almost purely Sosebee is Anglo-Mexican conexecutive flict — one in which director of the the two sides locked East Texas in a rigidly ethnic Historical battle of who would Association. control Texas. The He can be reality is far from reached at sosebeem@ that simple and that sfasu.edu. doctrinaire. Many Tejanos — residents of the province of Texas who were of Mexican descent — supported the Texian cause. One of the most fervent and courageous of those Tejano rebels was Juan N. Seguin, a man who fought with Sam Houston at San Jacinto, but who would eventually break with his Anglo compatriots and fight on the opposing side during the U.S./ Mexican War. Born into a prominent San Antonio family in 1806, his father, Juan Erasmo Seguin, served San Antonio as both a postmaster and alcalde. The younger Seguin further augmented his prominence in Texas society when he married Maria Gertudis Flores de Abrego, whose family was one of the most prominent ranching families in all of Texas — part of her family’s ranching land grant would eventually become the genesis of the famed King Ranch. Like his father, Juan Sequin also entered San Antonio politics, serving as an alderman in the late 1820s and as alcalde in 1833. Conflict, division and tension roiled through Mexican politics in the years following independence, primarily centered on a fight to determine if the new nation would follow a federal system based on the United States model, or a governmental structure that gave power to a central government. The Seguin’s — like many middle-class Tejanos — were committed federalists, and when Santa Anna came out for the centralist cause in the mid-1830s, the family opposed his actions and supported all efforts to topple the Mexican dictator. Juan N. Seguin cast his lot with the Texian rebels in 1835. He fought at the Battle of San Antonio in December 1835, but escaped the fateful Battle of the Alamo when William Travis sent him out of the mission fortress as a courier. Sam Houston tapped him to be his vital rear guard as he retreated from Santa Anna in the spring of 1836, and he led the only fully Tejano unit to fight at the decisive Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836. Juan N. Seguin returned to his native San Antonio following the end of the Texas Revolution — one of his first actions was to supervise the burial of the Alamo dead. He also resumed his political
career, this time as a citizen of the Republic of Texas. He would serve in the second, third and fourth Texas Congress and, in 1840, he became the mayor of San Antonio. The new position would become a source of bitter irritation for the former Texian patriot. Under the Republic, San Antonio suffered from what might be called a conflict of identity. It had always been the primary Tejano city in Texas but with the end of Mexican rule, new Anglo immigrants began to challenge the traditional elite. Juan N. Seguin became directly involved in the bitter struggle. Anglo settlers accused him of continuing his loyalty to Mexico while at the same time a number of Tejanos, due to his business connections and land speculation, thought him to be an ally of their new rivals. When Mexico staged an invasion of San Antonio in 1842, Juan N. Seguin’s opponents accused him of actually supporting the Mexican troops at the worst, and at best of not doing enough to stop the action. Disillusioned and fearing for his safety, he resigned his position in April 1842 and he escaped to northern Mexico. Juan N. Seguin spent six mostly unprofitable and tension-filled years across the Rio Grande. He actually participated in another Mexican invasion of Texas in September 1842. (Juan N. Seguin maintained that he was forced to help guide the Mexican troops to San Antonio — some chroniclers doubt his contentions.) After annexation and the beginning of the U.S./Mexican War, he led a Mexican detachment against U.S. troops. When the war ended with an American victory and Mexican chaos, Juan N. Seguin decided it was time to return to Texas. His father owned land neared Floresville, south of San Antonio, and there Juan N. Seguin settled his family. He did once again become involved in Bexar County politics with minor offices, but he had no hope of re-establishing his former prominence. Eventually, Juan N. Seguin, a hero of the Texas Revolution, moved to Nuevo Laredo where he died in 1890. Juan N. Seguin had become a forgotten figure, an important historical figure that had become subsumed by the pages of history written and told by those who had other agendas. However, the winds of commemoration do sometimes change — and in the mid-20th century — historians and Texans once again discovered the valuable contributions of Juan N. Seguin. Many decided that it was time he came home, so in a moving ceremony on July 4, 1976, his remains, previously interred in Mexico, were placed in Seguin, Texas — the city that honors him with their name.

enealogical Publishing Company has issued a new “Genealogy at a glance” dealing with Maryland research. It deals with the first charter and early settlement of the area. Maryland was the seventh state to ratify the Constitution in 1788. Many of us have ancestors who lived in the area for a time, even though they originally migrated to another area. A discussion of the background of the early settlement gives you clues for further research. Record sources are discussed — such as vital records, court records before 1776, criminal records, land records, probate records, divorce records and military records. Addresses are given for the Maryland State Archives, Baltimore City Archives, Maryland Historical Society, Maryland State Law Library, etc. Online resources are discussed and the addresses given. If you have ancestors who once lived in Maryland, I know you will want to order a copy of No. 4665 “Maryland Genealogical Research” for only $8.96, plus $4.50 shipping and handling.

Grandma Chandler, as she was familiarly known in the Mount Moriah, Swift, Martinsville and Black Jack neighborhoods, was a noted woman and her death removed from early a link that connected the present day with the almost forgotten past. She was born in Tennessee 99 years ago, where she grew to womanhood and was married. With her husband, Elias Chandler, she moved from Tennessee to Mississippi Territory and thence to Texas previous to the battle of San Jacinto while all was uproar and confusion. She was the mother of 14 children, Frank, George, Louis, Andrew, Mrs. Emeline Stoker, Mrs. Callie Judd, Mrs. Christopher Koonce, Mrs. Phil Koonce, and Mrs. William Koonce. Louis, Mrs. Judd and four other children are dead. Mrs. Chandler in her early years united with the Missionary Baptist church and all her children, without a single exception, became devout and useful members of the same church. She had the satisfaction of seeing four of her sons ordained to the ministry and heard them preach. The four were Frank, Louis, Andrew, and William. One of her sons-in-law, William Koonce, was also a Baptist preacher of great promise and usefulness. He was accidently killed by a falling limb in the Attoyac bottom a few years ago. Up to a short time before her death, Grandma Chandler was hale and hearty and bid fair to live 100 years. She was able to walk several miles and has walked from Swift to Black Jack quite a number of times since passing her 75th year. She was a great hand to knit with the old fashioned needles and would take her knitting to church on Saturdays, knitting all the way to church and all the way back. Grandma Chandler will be missed. She was a good and faithful mother in Israel and her reward has been waiting long years. She has gone to receive the crown of righteousness. (Probably Nancy A.

Oklahoma’s
Main Streets KRISTI EATON Associated Press

CLEARVIEW ■■ Clearview’s Main Street
BOISE CITY, Okla. (AP) —
M
is lined with abandoned buildings, but its history is fascinating. Its original inhabitants were former slaves owned by Native American tribes. Clearview is one of 13 such all-black communities remaining in Oklahoma; others have disappeared. But efforts are underway to renew interest in the towns. Regular tours of Clearview, its empty Main Street and other communities founded by freed slaves take place each year. Clearview is located in Oklahoma’s Okfuskee County in the east-central part of the state.
ain Street is as American as baseball and apple pie. Classic Main Streets are a snapshot of traditional values, and they’ve kept communities across the United States alive, housing small businesses and institutions like schools, police stations, city halls, parks and newspaper offices. But as the population of the United States continues to move from rural to urban settings, Main Streets in many small towns are dwindling. And in some places, the people and businesses that call Main Street home are struggling to survive. Nowhere is the allure of Main Street and its history coupled with its quest to remain relevant more prevalent than in Oklahoma, right in the heart of middle America. I’m an Oklahoma native, and I’ve been chronicling the state’s Main Streets for a blog and a book. Here are some of the unique stories told by Oklahoma’s Main Streets, from a World War II bombing to an annual Sucker Day.

to movie buffs or extreme weather fans: It was depicted in the 1996 movie “Twister” about a team of tornado researchers. In the fictional movie starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton, a tornado decimates the town. Nearly 20 years later, the town still draws fans of the movie to the Twister Museum on Main Street, located in the film’s former location office. The museum includes photos, original home video of the movie’s filming, autographs, a pinball machine donated by Paxton and the movie prop for Dorothy I, which was a tornado research device.
in the westernmost county in the Oklahoma Panhandle. Like several of the county seats in the western part of the state, Boise City’s Main Street features a courthouse square. A roundabout helps drivers maneuver around the Cimarron County courthouse since the city — and entire county — has no stoplight. At one edge of the roundabout sits a plaque and replica bomb representing one of the oddest events in the city’s history: During World War II the city was bombed by accident in the middle of the night by a U.S. AP photo crew. No one was killed in the July 5, 1943, incident, but the community still notes the This Dec. 2013 photo shows a plaque and replica bomb at the event.

TULSA ■■ Unlike some Main Streets in smaller places, Tulsa’s Main Street is vi-
brant and home to a number of restaurants, bars and entertainment venues, including The Tavern, The Soundpony and The Hunt Club, along with one of the city’s most significant landmarks, Cain’s Ballroom. Located in a building that dates to 1924, Cain’s has featured everyone from Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys to Hank Williams and Dwight Yoakam.
This March 2014 photo shows the exterior of Cain’s Ballroom along Main Street in Tulsa, Okla. Built in 1924 by Tulsa entrepreneur Tate Brady, The Cain’s Ballroom has been a garage, a dime-a-dance joint and a dancing academy. Today it is a top performance venue. AP photo

Finally, he delivers the news That opening scene sets the that their father is dead, having tone for Hannah Pittard’s wry, walked into the back porch of emotionally insightful second
novel, “Reunion.” Like her debut, “The Fates Will Find Their Way” in 2011, this one’s success resides in her gifts for narration. While her earlier novel, with a “we” narration, leaned slightly toward nostalgia, “Reunion” succeeds because Kate is so sharp, and perceptive about everyone — except, of course, herself. A failed screenwriter who blew through the income from her previous success, Kate is now mired in debt, sustained only by the generosity of her husband, who is leaving her. Now her father dies, leaving behind not only Kate and her
brother and sister, but also five ex-wives and a bunch of half-siblings who all converge in Atlanta to put the charming Lothario to rest. Kate wishes she could pull back and watch from a safe distance, but the whole weekend promises to be a series of still lifes, starring her and her siblings. The book is narrated in short chapters — like scenes in a film, with titles like “Things come to a head in the kitchen,” “The exwives explained” or “A partial list of the secrets I keep track of while I lie awake in bed most nights.” Kate’s voice resonates
and elevates the book beyond a family drama. Kate is gimlet-eyed in her observations. Her adolescent niece is a knockout, and Kate worries “both that she’ll figure it out too soon and that she won’t figure it out soon enough.” Her best insights, though, key into the lower and middle school years, the anxieties of a “child who carried a Strawberry Shortcake lunch box and whose biggest concern was whether there would be Goldfish or a Fruit Roll-Up packed inside, even while she didn’t know which she really wanted, only that whichever one there
was wouldn’t be the right one.” Ultimately, Kate focuses her truth-telling gifts inward and begins to realize that the lies she has told herself might have been the most dangerous of all. “I wish I’d known it was all right to admit to wanting friends, to wanting many friends. But I was always so ashamed,” she thinks. “Selfreliance seemed to be what was valued in our family. Popularity was for the common man. We were individuals. We needed one another and our minds and a few solid birthday parties at Benihana.”
