POTHOLE OF THE WEEK

Commissioner Boyd not seeking re-election

‘Pothole of the Week’ is back. The Mirror has held off featuring the city’s many road problems due to all the severe weather in past months and city crews being overly burdened by big water leaks almost every week. But the rain has stopped and the potholes and uneven brick streets have not been addressed. This week’s featured problem is on Quitman Street. A waterline rests under these sunken bricks and every time large trucks pound these bricks, the waterline has to be taking a beating. No asphalt is needed to fix this - just some dirt and time. Its not going to fix itself.

By Jim Bardwell Gregg County Commissioner Gary Boyd told the Gladewater Mirror last week he will not be seeking another term on the commissioners’ court. Boyd will retire from public office after serving 10 years at commissioner of Precinct 3. He said he believes he has accomplished a lot during his time on the commissioners’ court, helping the county to be financially responsible and always putting the needs of the people first. Boyd’s mission statement has always been – “As your commissioner, my mission is to provide quality services that are responsive, respectful, and effective in a fair and equitable manner that will enhance the quality of life for the residents of precinct three and for all Gregg County.” He said he feels he will be “leaving Precinct 3 in better shape than I found it 10 years ago. And I hope whoever takes over after me will make it even better.” Boyd said he has always made sure he was “accountable and responsive to all Gregg County residents,” and “supervise county employees with fairness, dignity, diversity, and always promoting health, safety, and general welfare.”

GISD trustees hear GPS traffic concerns

By Suzanne Bardwell Gladewater Primary student pick up woes were discussed by parent Jimmy Allen during the public forum portion of the Aug. 19 GISD board meeting. After school pickup traffic has experienced long lines and crowded side streets during the first week of school. School board president Jon Keller has told the Gladewater Mirror that Supt. Sedric Clark and Gladewater Chief of Police Gordon Freeman are working together to smooth the process. Clark has even personally been on hand helping get children into their parents’ vehicles to expedite the process. Trustees heard reports and took action on the Jack V. Murphy football stadium restroom repairs on both the home and visitor sides with the unanimous approval of an infusion of $23,000 by budget amendment in unallocated state monies. The new stadium turf was previewed to the community at last Thursday’s Meet the Bears. The goal posts were rehabbed and renovated by Bear football coaches who also ensured that the goal posts were powder coated. The posts were re-installed last week.

Supt. Clark reports that the environmental tests at the Broadway administrative campus were completed last week and that renovations are moving forward with Hugman Architectural renderings of the new central office concerning color, carpet etc. under consideration. Asst. Supt. Dr. Cliff Lightfoot reported that Gladewater Middle School received Marks of Distinction for Closing the Gap and Academic Growth. Gladewater High School received Marks of Distinction for Academic Achievement in Math and Closing the Gap. The board also approved GISD emergency operations plans to address a variety of unexpected scenarios so that administration and staff are as prepared as possible to handle situations that might unexpectedly arise. Trustees accepted the resignation of Weldon Elementary Special Education teacher Paula Sovia and extended contracts to second grade teacher Kathleen Chittenden and fourth grade teacher Kelsi Jahr. In other business the board approved the audit firm contract of Wilf and Henderson, CPA of Texarkana.

OPINION/EDITORIAL Life Skills 101… where did they go?

Our ‘kids’ from tweens to 30-somethings are having a harder time than previous generations coping with stress, demands of responsibility, dealing with the daily slings and arrows of being a human, much less the grand catastrophes that are a part of being alive. I am afraid that as a career high school teacher I may have contributed to the problem as a part of the culture of the last 30 years that has given out blue ribbons, stars and kudos for kids doing what they are supposed to be doing. Then there are those sports trophies for being part of team instead of awards earned through performance. Do we not know how to lose anymore? Do we not know how to deal with the stress of life? Do we not know how to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and go again? In the environment of celebrity culture and 24/7 social media platforms, our kids and young adult ‘kids’ are spending their time with their cell phones in their hands either ‘following’ others’ activities instead of doing them or posting the minutiae of their

lives ad nauseam. And who the heck cares how you look with an animal face or what you will look like when you are 80? Other than face recognition scam artists who want access to your media use devices that is. Americans are wasting so much time on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook etc. ENOUGH! Read a dad gum book or newspaper and quit digital navel gazing and self absorption. People, there is a world out there for YOU. And it is going to be YOURS before you know it. So how do we fix what is broken? Jim Bardwell has said, “you can’t be a winner unless you have lost.” We have got to quit cushioning the losses during the growing up years so our kids can handle the more serious ones of their adult years. Most of the wisdom I have, which I must admit is a great deal, was hard won. Wisdom that came from mistakes, occasionally embarrassing and even humiliating experiences, sometimes wringed from heartbreaking events.

THE ECONOMIST New Rules

America’s largest corporations have long been focused almost exclusively on increasing shareholder value. That goal was rooted in traditional notions of market theory that purportedly held that pursuing self-interest would ultimately secure optimal outcomes. Even the architects of this doctrine, including Adam Smith, recognized many occasions where this approach needed to PERRYMAN be broadened, and the realities of contemporary life make that point abundantly clear. A recent statement from the Business Roundtable expands the scope to all stakeholders—customers, employees, suppliers, and communities, as well as shareholders. The Business Roundtable is an organization of CEOs of US companies which, as a group, have more than 15 million employees and generate over $7 trillion in annual revenues. These firms are major employers in every state and foster the innovation and research to promote prosperity and solve pressing problems. The Business Roundtable’s most recent Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation was signed by 181 CEOs who commit to lead for the benefit of all stakeholders. It’s a notable departure from the policies of the past four decades, which promoted the idea that corporations exist principally to serve shareholders. The new statement reflects recognition that the

That is just life. You gain wisdom, perseverance, the ability to endure, toughness, empathy and compassion from overcoming. That is what makes one a winner in life. Living it day-to-day well. Better or bitter is a choice. I grew up hearing certain phrases over and over and over from my 5’ little Mom who overcame a world of hurt and trouble with a severely handicapped son among a host of other problems, and my heroic rancher Daddy who could handle absolutely anything life threw his way. Their voices are in my head every single day telling me to ”roll with the punches”, “pull yourself up by your bootstraps”, “put one foot in front of the other and keep going”, “we do NOT quit, EVER” and “learn from your mistakes”. My parents also insisted on manners and taught me how to communicate with all kinds of people on all kinds of levels. I was expected to acknowledge every person who entered a

optimal path to long-term success requires thinking beyond stock prices. For example, short-term earnings typically move stock prices, and firms often push to maximize them. While making profits is crucial, becoming exclusively driven by quarterly results often leads to myopic decisions, such as foregoing research and initiatives that could provide returns over decades, cutting costs excessively, ignoring employee morale (and, hence, productivity), or failing to adequately address social and environmental issues that could undermine sustainability. Many of the most profitable firms already treat employees very well (to attract and retain the best and brightest) and invest in their communities (thus building a cooperative relationship). Putting these ideas on a signed paper, however, takes them to another level. As the Statement says, “[e]ach of our stakeholders is essential. We commit to deliver value to all of them, for the future success of our companies, our communities and our country.” These are powerful words. Shareholders remain a primary focus (appropriately, as they provide the necessary capital for corporate activity), but decisions should be based on more than the next earnings announcement. A longer-term vision and wider view of success will, over time, improve outcomes for all, including shareholders. My firm and others have demonstrated this phenomenon in numerous contexts. In many ways, it is merely an extension of the time frame over which value is maximized. While a statement isn’t action and this one will no doubt face pushback from some activist investors and potentially even regulators, it can nonetheless be a catalyst for real and productive change..

So you think there’s nothing to do in Gladewater ...think again

room or I met on the street. I was taught that every human being has value. They might not be living up to it but they have value and I was to be respectful. And that approach has smoothed my journey many, many times. They also told me when bullied or intimidated, “stand up for yourself, if you don’t do it no one will”. And that was a perfect lesson. They never ran to school and intervened. There were those times when I really wished they had because I thought I was in over my head. But they didn’t. And I wasn’t. And yes, I got in trouble for everything from talking (2nd grade through graduation—no kidding) all the way to skipping school to go to a neighboring town that had been hit by a tornado. Only two of us out of seven who skipped got in trouble. The other ‘in trouble’ girl’s parents threw a fit. Mine said, “we don’t care what everyone else did. Did you skip? Yes. Then you have to pay the consequences”. In other words kids, friends and neighbors here’s one of the MOST important life lessons of all…LIFE IS NOT FAIR! Get over it. It never will be. In a world where kids pick up guns or social media to destroy lives we are going to have to start teaching them the lessons that the Greatest Generation taught their kids. Get over yourself. You are not the center of the universe even if it feels like you are. Do the best you can and move on. Fix what you mess up. Apologize when you can’t. Hold your head up and grow up so you can take over this crazy, wonderful, frightening, amazing, messy world we live in. The time is coming when it will be our kids’ and grandkids’ world. Help them wrap their minds around the fact that a person can’t be successful without failing. That anyone can get over almost anything. And the people who truly love you really are the most important people in your lives. Not your job, not your honors, not your wealth. Not your status. Not the number of followers you have on social media. Parents, please teach your kids to stand on their own two feet, to roll with the punches and to remember, “it doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down…what matters is how many times you get up.” So, maybe we need to start changing the culture back to ribbons and trophies going to extraordinary not ordinary effort. Parents shut down the screen time, please! The healthiest kids physically AND emotionally know what sunshine and grass look like. Sometimes tough love is the love that’s needed. If you don’t know how to do that find some folks in their 80s and 90s while they are still with us and ask them. They have lived through the worst of times to build the best of times that we don’t even have the sense to recognize.

Often someone is heard saying “there is nothing to do in Gladewater” and that is absolutely untrue. This summer the nationally recognized Gladewater Round Up Rodeo ran for a walloping four days of world class rodeo action and entertainment with cowboys and cowgirls, many of whom will earn their way to the national championship rodeo in Las Vegas in December. We aren’t talking a country play day here. Our mid-size rodeo is at the top of the rodeo heap. And we have the competitors and stock to prove it. On July 5 there was a fireworks spectacular hosted by our hardworking Chamber of Commerce at Lake Gladewater. The lake is one of our greatest assets and it doesn’t cost a dime for a family to picnic or swim. Coming up on Sept. 28 the annual Handicapable Adaptive Sports event will be held at Lake Gladewater for children and adults with disabilities. There will be a full slate of activities on and off the water. And let me remind you that during the Round Up Rodeo a handicapable rodeo was held for area kids and adults with directors, cowboys and cowgirls all pitching in to make memories. There is a large group of givers in this town who work hard to create a better community and lifestyle for others. For a small town we have a very active tradition of extending a hand up to our neighbors. We also have a great deal of fun around town. The annual Art & Wine Stroll may have been held on one of the hottest Saturdays of the summer, Aug. 10, but a great deal of the art was fabulous and there were more wineries represented than ever before. On Sept. 21-22 we will have the grounds of the GISD Administrative campus, Broadway, full of artisan vendors from across the Ark-La-Tex with a wide array of goods to tantalize even the pickiest of shoppers. Now let’s add the richness of our civic organizations, including Rotary which meets every Thursday in the Chamber of Commerce meeting room, as does the Lion’s Club on Wednesdays. Both have great programs of interest and do an enormous amount of service in our community and in the greater world. Just this last Saturday, Rotary under Leon Word’s leadership built another handicap ramp for a Gladewater family. Then there is GALA, the Gladewater Garden Club, our area church youth, ladies’ and men’s groups; and our Friends of Lee Library who hold Meet the Author events. In fact, be sure to attend the FOL Oct. 24 special presentation on the grandaddy of playwrights…William Shakespeare at 6:30 p.m. at Lee Library. For many the cherry on top of all Gladewater has to offer is live music. We have the Gladewater Opry’s Saturday lineup with a cover charge. But they often offer a Friday Night Special that is open admission. Central Station and Stockyard Steakhouse BOTH have live music by professional musicians WEEKLY, plus entertaining karaoke available at both. And, if you want to find out about the richness of our music history and Gladewater history from its timber and Oil Boom days to famous sons and daughters, it’s all to be found at the jewel box of a hometown museum across from the post office. We have a variety of restaurants with excellent food, a charming bakery downtown, coffeeshops, to die for ice cream at the Screen Door, good fast food choices and, of course world class barbecue (Texas Monthly says so!). Our antique stores are a revelation for collectors, buyers and gift shoppers who want something unique. Our Pacific Street Traders Mall is full of fun finds. Don’t stop there, we have specialty shops that have everything from Christmas collectibles, knives, bows, handmade soaps, essential oils, custom t-shirts, caps and more. And then there is Walker’s Pharmacy which is privately owned by two pharmacists who take pride in taking care of hometown folks. And, how about that downtown used bookstore? Readers could happily spend days searching for treasures in those stacks. Bookworms on a budget have access to Gladewater’s Lee Public Library and those in need can seek help through the Gladewater Ministerial Alliance, family food boxes at Manna House or clothing at the Clothes Closet. Gladewater givers are some of the best to be found anywhere. Let’s make sure we don’t just do our ‘giving’ at home, let’s make sure we do our shopping at home as well. Many of our stores and shops do most of their sales online to discerning buyers from across the nation. Sadly, many hometown folks have never visited our local shops and that’s truly a shame. One way to help Gladewater be successful is to keep our shopping dollars and our taxes right here at home. Yes, we have city infrastructure and budget issues, but our mayor and city council are chipping away at issues that were decades in the making. Our school district under the leadership of Supt. Sedric Clark’s team is making leaps in progress after years of stagnation. And that is just flat out exciting. So now it is up to each one of us to do our part. Pick up litter, join civic and church organizations that are working to improve the community. Volunteer at our schools to help our children and teachers. Eat at local restaurants and shop at home as much as possible. Finally, don’t discount telling others outside the community how great Gladewater is. We have a lot to offer and we should be celebrating all the good things that make this a great hometown… because it is.

GOOD INTENTIONS ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH

It’s long been said that “the road to hell is paved with good intentions!” How true! For example, many intending to be saved never are saved. They believe, and plan to repent someday. They know they must be baptized, and they really intend to be baptized, but they die without ever doing it. Their good intentions are no substitute for obeying God. Jesus “became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him” (Heb. 5: 9). It doesn’t say, “He became the author of eternal salva-tion to all who intend to obey Him someday.” Jesus said: “Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven” (Matt. 7: 21). Jesus didn’t promise salvation to those who merely have plans or good intentions to do God’s will someday, but, to those who actually do His will! If you know what God want you to do and deliberately ignore His will, promising to do it later, you are disobeying God. You are saying, “I’ll do what God says when I get good and ready, and until then, God can just wait!” Good intentions for the future are often excuses for disobedience right now! Another reason the road to hell is paved with good intentions is because many people don’t have as much time to change and obey as they thought they would have. No doubt, many intended to change and obey God before they died, but died before they intended to! Mr. “Meant to” has a comrade, and his name is “Didn’t do.” Have you ever chanced to meet them? Did they ever call on you? These two fellows live together in the house of “Never Winn” And I’m told that it is haunted by the ghost of “Might Have Been!” Think on these things. ..

Many changes coming to Texas laws Sept. 1 September 1 is fast approaching and that means there are a whole lot of new laws that will go into effect here in Texas. These are just some the laws you’ll need to know about.

September 1. HB 302 – Weapons in apartments House Bill 302 bans homeowners or landlords of rental property from prohibiting residents from lawfully possessing, carrying, transporting or storing a firearm or ammunition in the property.

HB 234 – Lemonade stands It seems strange that a child’s lemonade stand would be shut down for breaking the law, but it’s happened. That will soon be a thing of the past. Children under the age of 18 will be able to sell non-alcoholic beverages on private property without fear of prosecution. SB 21 – Minimum age for tobacco sales This one is pretty cut and dry — you’ll have to be at least 21 years old to purchase or consume or possess tobacco products. This includes cigarettes, e-cigarettes and all other tobacco products. HB 37 – Porch Pirates The crime is considered a first-degree felony if you steal from more than 50 people, a second-degree felony if you steal from 20-50 people and a state felony if you steal from less than 10 people. Under House Bill 37, if you’re caught and convicted, you could spend anywhere from six months to 10 years in prison. You could also have to deal with a hefty fine, ranging anywhere from $4,000 to $10,000 and the charges can be upgraded if the crime involves identity theft, the disabled or the elderly. HB 505 – Former Officeholders Turned Lobbyist HB 505 puts limits on the use of campaign funds by a former officeholder or candidate who became a registered lobbyist. It says lobbyists can’t knowingly make or authorize a political contribution to other candidates or officeholders from the political contributions they received when they were in office. That part of the law applies during a two-year period that starts with the end date of their last term. HB 2048 – Driver Responsibility Program Repealed This repeals the Driver Responsibility Program, which will allow hundreds of thousands of Texans who’ve had their licenses suspended to reinstate them, and increases state fines for traffic and intoxicated drivers violations. State traffic fines will increase from $30 to $50 and intoxicated driver fines will increase as well: $3,000 for the first conviction within 36 months; $4,500 for a subsequent conviction within 36 months; or $6,000 for a conviction if it was shown that the person’s alcohol concentration level was 0.16 or more SB 463 – TAKS Testing School districts won’t be allowed to administer a Texas Assess-

New Texas Safety Commission meets for first time AUSTIN — Gov. Greg Abbott on Aug. 22 hosted the first meeting of the Texas Safety Commission, pulling together a group of lawmakers, educators, advocates, community leaders and public safety experts. Created Aug. 19 by the governor, the commission is tasked with developing “an immediate action plan to provide community healing, combat the rise of extremist groups and hateful ideologies, keep guns out of the hands of deranged individuals, and combat domestic terrorism in Texas.” “It is imperative that Texas develop solutions that not only make our state a better place, but most importantly a safer place. Our starting point began today, with the process of exploring all avenues and reviewing all facts to determine how we can prevent another tragedy like the shooting in El Paso from occurring again,” Abbott said. “I am grateful for the insight and expertise of those who participated in the Texas Safety Commission meeting today, and I look forward to our continued work as we pursue ideas that will keep Texas safe,” he added. Present for the first meeting were: Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, House Speaker Dennis Bonnen; El Paso-area lawmakers Sen. Jose Rodriguez and Reps. Mary Gonzales, Cesar Blanco, Joe Moody and Art Fierro. Also, Senate State Affairs Committee Chair and Senate President Pro Tem Joan Huffman of Houston; Rep. Phil King of Weatherford; Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw, and many other key state employees and private citizens.

Cyber attack hits cities

The Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) on Aug. 20 announced that 22 local governmental entities across Texas were victims of an Aug. 16 “ransomware attack.” The department said evidence points to a “single threat actor.” A host of state and federal agencies are investigating the attack. State of Texas systems and networks were not impacted, according to the DIR. To enhance cybersecurity, the DIR is recommending that public and private organizations: —Keep software patches and antivirus tools up to date; —Create strong unique passwords that are changed regularly; —Enable multi-factor authentication, especially for remote logins; —Modernize legacy systems and ensure software is as current as possible; —Limit the granting of administrative access; and —Perform regular, automated backups and keep the backups segregated.

Hughs is secretary of state

Ruth Ruggero Hughs, chair of the Texas Workforce Commission for the past year, is Texas’s new secretary of state, Gov. Abbott announced Aug. 19. The appointment took effect immediately. The office became vacant when the Texas Senate did not confirm the appointment of David Whitley, who served as secretary of state from Dec. 17, 2018, to May 27, 2019. In her new post, Hughs serves as chief election officer for Texas, assisting county election officials and ensuring the uniform application and interpretation of election laws throughout Texas. The secretary of state’s office is the repository for certain business and commercial records and publishes government rules and regulations and commissions notaries public. The secretary also serves as keeper of the state seal and attestor to the governor’s signature on official documents. In her new role, Hughs also will serve as senior advisor and liaison to the Governor for Texas Border and Mexican Affairs and as chief international protocol officer for Texas.

HB 1177 – Handguns during a disaster House Bill 1177 prohibits residents from being charged with a crime for carrying a handgun while evacuating from a state or local disaster area.

ment of Knowledge and Skills, or TAKS, test. The exam was replaced with end of course (EOC) exams in 2007. Also set to expire “districts and charter schools establish individual graduation committees for students who failed to pass one or two required EOC exams.” HB 8 – Sexual assault kit testing This establishes timelines for processing and testing of sexual assault kits. Kits will be analyzed within 90 days of receiving the evidence. A felony prosecution where a rape kit was used will require the evidence to be preserved for at least 40 years or until the statute of limitations expires. SB 1232 – Alcohol delivery The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission will give permits to qualifying beer and wine retailers so that the retailers can make alcohol deliveries. “The bill would not authorize the holder of a brewpub license to deliver alcoholic beverages directly to ultimate consumers for off-premise consumption at a location other than the licensed premise,” according to a bill analysis. HB 1545 – Beer-To-Go This will allow craft breweries to sell beer to-go in Texas. They can only sell up to one case per person per day. HB 1992 – Anti-Spoofing Law This prohibits a telemarketer from causing misleading information to be transmitted to a recipient’s caller identification service or device or otherwise misrepresenting the origin of a telemarketing call and to except from this prohibition a telemarketer that substitutes the name and telephone number of the person on whose behalf the call is made for the telemarketer’s name and telephone number. HB 1387 – School marshals This increases the number of school marshals a campus can appoint. School’s can “appoint to one marshal per 100 students in average daily attendance, or for a private school, one marshal per 100 students enrolled,” according to a bill analysis. HB 1143 – Guns on Campus A school district cannot prohibit licensed gun owners, including school employees, from storing a firearm or ammunition in a locked vehicle on a school parking lot — provided they are not in plain view. HB 2363 – Guns in Foster Homes Allows some foster homes to store firearms and ammunition in a safe and secure place for personal protection. Proper storage must be followed, the bill says, including putting firearms and ammunition together in the same locked locations. It also goes into effect on

SB 535 – Firearms in places of worship This allows licensed handgun owners to legally carry their weapons in places of worship HB 2789 – Unlawful Electronic Transmission of Sexually Explicit Visual Material This makes the electronic transmission of sexually explicit material a Class C misdemeanor, with a maximum $500 fine, when the recipient hasn’t provided consent. HB 2174 – Opioid Prescribing limits This legislation places a 10-day limit with no refills on opioid prescriptions for acute pain. (Cancer and chronic pain management prescriptions are exempt). SB 38 – Hazing This redefines hazing to be more inclusive of certain actions. Namely, the consumption of alcohol. The law also gives immunity from civil and criminal liability to anyone who voluntarily reports a hazing incident in certain situations. HB 446 – Brass knuckles This makes it legal to carry brass knuckles, clubs and self-defense wild kat keychains, sometimes referred to as “kitty keychains.” HB 1518 – Over-The-Counter Sales of Dextromethorphan This prohibits the sale of dextromethorphan to customers under the age of 18. Dextromethorphan is commonly used in cough suppressants and can cause a “high” feeling if taken in large doses. HB 253 – Postpartum depression This law requires a five-year strategy be implemented for improving access to postpartum depression screenings, referrals, treatment and support services. Part of the strategy includes “raising public awareness of and reducing stigma related to postpartum depression,” according to a bill analysis. HB 547 – Hunting/fishing license If you forget your paper license at home you no longer have to worry. You can show proof of licensure on your phone via the Parks and Wildlife Department website or a photo of the license. Texas requires anyone 17 years of age or older to have licenses and permits in order to go freshwater or saltwater fishing in public waters. SB 1259 – Sexual assault This expands the parameters of the definition of sexual assault. If a health service provider uses “human reproductive material from a donor knowing that the other person had not expressly consented to the use of material from that donor,” it is considered sexual assault, according to the new law.

Buc-cee’s, Don’t mess with Texas team up against litter

AUSTIN – Don’t mess with Texas® and Buc-ee’s are teaming up to fight litter in Texas. Beginning in August, drivers in Texas will see billboards featuring two iconic Texas-born brands, TxDOT’s “Don’t mess with Texas” and Buc-ee’s, along major travel routes to remind drivers to keep trash inside their cars until their next stop at a Buc-ee’s location. Drivers also will see reminders of the campaign at Buc-ee’s stores across Texas, including the famous “Don’t mess with Texas” trash barrels, cross-branded merchandise and signage educating visitors to properly dispose of trash to keep Texas litter-free. “Buc-ee’s and ‘Don’t Mess with Texas’ represent two iconic brands that are each as big as Texas,” said Texas Transportation Commission Chairman J. Bruce Bugg, Jr. “We’re excited to work with Buc-ee’s to remind its millions of customers and everyone who sees its iconic billboards that ‘Don’t mess with Texas’ really means don’t litter.” The collaboration between “Don’t mess with Texas” and Buc-ee’s will also extend into the community. The two are teaming up on education initiatives shared in schools to teach younger generations the importance of keeping Texas clean and picturesque. Both brands also will work together to host trash clean-ups in Texas communities including the “Don’t mess with Texas” Trash-Off statewide cleanup day, which occurs annually in April. “We want Texas’ roads to be as clean as Buc-ee’s restrooms,” said Buc-ee’s founder/owner Arch “Beaver” Aplin. “Texans are proud of their state and we at Buc-ee’s are proud to be Texan. We look forward to sharing the litter-free message with travelers as they ride along our great Tex-

as highways.” Texas has been a leader in the battle against litter and the “Don’t mess with Texas” campaign has been vital to this success. However, litter remains a problem in the state. Approximately 362 million pieces of visible litter accumulate on Texas roadways each year. The most common forms

of litter are food or organic material, such as banana peels and apple cores, cigarette butts and small pieces of paper, such as receipts and gum wrappers. Those who litter can face a fine starting at $500 and up to $2,000. “Don’t mess with Texas” has been educating Texans about litter prevention since 1986. The campaign is the signature ini-

tiative for TxDOT’s litter prevention programs which include Adopt-a-Highway, a grassroots partnership with Keep Texas Beautiful and the community outreach and cleanup event — the “Don’t mess with Texas” Trash-Off. For additional information on “Don’t mess with Texas,” visit dontmesswithtexas.org.

CHRISTUS Good Shepherd Medical Center launches new OB Emergency Department Program for 24/7 Childbirth CHRISTUS Good Shepherd Medical Center - Longview is improving the availability of care for moms-to-be by introducing an obstetrics (OB) emergency department program. Hospitalists are specially trained physicians who only see patients in the hospital, ensuring there is highly skilled, specialized care on-site around the clock. Beginning in late August, the CHRISTUS Good Shepherd Medical Center - Longview will have a team of four full-time hospitalists – all board-certified OB-GYNs – to provide round-the-clock care for women. To support this initiative, the hospital is partnering with Ob Hospitalist Group (OBHG), the largest and only dedicated OB-GYN hospitalist provider in the country. As a result of this new partnership, CHRISTUS Good Shepherd Medical

Center - Longview will be opening a new 24 hour obstetric-designated emergency department. This will ensure highly skilled board-certified OB-GYN doctors are on-site 24/7, providing expedited emergency care to patients that are greater than 16 weeks along in their pregnancy. “Sometimes a woman’s regular OB-GYN is delivering a baby at another hospital, or is delayed en route due to traffic or weather,” said Mark Anderson, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, CHRISTUS Good Shepherd Health System. “That can be very stressful for a woman in labor and can even be dangerous if there are complications. In those situations, our OB hospitalists are there to provide care and assistance until the patient’s regular doctor arrives.”

Bears host Panthers in opener Former Bear QB, coach returns

The Bears struggled at times against Daingerfield in their scrimmage last Friday night. The Tigers were a fast and athletic team that exposed some weaknesses for the Bears, which the coaches were able to work on before this week’s season opener. The Bears were also without some key players due to disciplinary issues as well. Both of those things will be addressed in practice this week as the Bears for Spring Hill. Friday also will be Senior Night, so come on out and support the Bears. Photos by Jim Bardwell

By Ellis Hayden The Spring Hill Panthers are familiar foes of the Gladewater Bears. Thought they have met on the football field 30 times since 1984, it hasn’t developed into much of a rivalry game with Gladewater holding 21-9 advantage in their contests. Since 2000, the Panthers have managed only three victories (2006, 2010, 2012) and the Bears walloped Spring Hill, 61-30, last season. There are those who think that there is a rivalry in the makings, now that former Gladewater standout quarter-back and the Bears’ former offensive coordinator, Jonny Louvier is Spring Hill’s head football coach. Gladewater’s head coach, John Berry sees how the fans may expect that this could be a rivalry game between me and Jonny, but it won’t be. “Jonny and I are good friends. He has spent three years as a member of our staff. We have spent many hours working together, sharing meals together with our families and talking about life and football. There is nothing personal between us when it comes to playing against one another,” said Berry. With that said, Coach Berry knows that Spring Hill will be a better ball team than they faced last year. Spring Hill’s quarterback, Gage White is a four-year starter who passed for 1,500 yards and 11 touchdowns last year. They also have good re-ceivers who can make plays. They have 8 returning starters on offense and six on defense. “I expect that they will be more physical team this year because their coach believes in playing

KC partners with ETBU to offer education degree

With the widespread shortage of teachers in the East Texas region, Kilgore College and East Texas Baptist University are collaborating to produce top-quality graduates to supplement the demand in this important career field. ETBU is hosting university-level courses on KC’s campus in Kilgore, allowing KC students to take ETBU courses leading toward a bachelor’s degree in Education (early childhood through sixth grade). KC President Dr. Brenda Kays and ETBU President Dr. Blair Blackburn solidified the plan that provides ETBU an office in Kilgore for recruiting, student services and advising for KC students and graduates. The cohort classes – which began Aug. 19 with nine students – are taught by ETBU faculty who travel to the Kilgore campus. Classes are currently held in the Watson Library but will be moved to the new Baptist Student Center on the Kilgore campus upon its completion. Semesters are typically 15 weeks long. Once students have completed the associate degree (four semesters), they will complete their Bachelor of Science in Education with EC-6 certification while never having to leave the Kilgore campus. “Kilgore College has much to gain by working with the universities in our region for the benefit of our students,” Kays said. “This partnership with ETBU provides our students with additional options as they continue their educational journey to become an educator. We look forward to working with ETBU to further student success and provide East Texas with highly qualified teachers.” The partnership between KC and ETBU encourages the completion of associate and bachelor’s degrees, providing students with academic and administrative advisement and promotes continuous advancement in learning to ensure that all students receive the resources necessary to be successful. “This partnership enables us to bring a physical four-year university presence to Kilgore,” Kays said. “We are always looking for ways to expand educational opportunities for our students and this will be a win-win for students at both KC and ETBU.” ETBU’s Teacher Education Program has more than a 95 percent pass rate on the Texas Educator Certification Exams for the past five years. The partnership reinforces both institutions’ commitments to a seamless transition and to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board 60x30TX goal to establish a globally competitive workforce in Texas by 2030. For more information on these classes, contact Karen Morris, KC Program Leader and Instructor for Education and College Success, at kmorris@kilgore.edu or Dr. John Sargent, Dean of the ETBU School of Education, at jsargent@etbu.edu.

Locals among 14 arrested by county’s special task force By Phillip Williams The Special Investigations Unit of the Upshur County Sheriff’s Office arrested 14 persons on a variety of charges in July, said Sheriff Larry Webb. Details, based on a report from sheriff’s Lt. Gary Shirley, were as follows and all suspects were taken to the Upshur County Jail in Gilmer, the sheriff said: In a case detailed in this newspaper recently, two Gilmerites were arrested on multiple drug charges July 1 when the unit

after stopping the vehicle in which she was a passenger, and allegedly observing her throw methamphetamine out the window. She was charged with felony possession of the drug and felony tampering with physical evidence. The stop occurred at the intersection of U.S. 271 and Red Hen Road as the unit investigated suspicious activity at the nearby Super game room on 271 in the Union Grove area. The vehicle driver was not arrested. While investigating suspicious activity July 15 at the Dragon game room in the 400 block of Mesquite Road near Gladewater, the unit initiated a traffic stop at the intersection of U.S. 80 and Locust Road which resulted in arresting the driver, a 36-year-old Big Sandy man, on three outstanding Upshur County misdemeanor warrants. The same day, while investigating suspicious activity at the Super game room, the unit made a traffic stop and arrested the driver, Clayton Ryan Odom, 23, of Gladewater, when he was found to have an outstanding Gregg County warrant for felony possession of a controlled substance. The stop occurred at the Upshur-Gregg county line on 271 in Gladewater. While investigating suspicious activity at the Dragon July 17, the unit encounterd a suspicious vehicle in the parking lot, seized less than a gram of methamphetamine, and arrested Rondreal Rossum, 40, of White Oak, on multiple charges. He was charged with felony possession of methamphetamine

and also arrested on Upshur County misdemeanor warrants charging him with possession of drug paraphernalia and various drug offenses. Also on July 17, the unit was investigating suspicious activity at the Lucky 7 when it stopped a vehicle at the intersection of 271 and Pacal Road, found drug parphernalia in it, and arrested the driver, a 20-year-old Gladewater man, on a misdemeanor charge of possessing it. On July 18, the SIU arrested Christopher Ronnie Faulkner, 47, of Detroit, Texas, on multiple old and new charges, including a state warrant alleging parole violation, after receiving information on his whereabouts. Faulkner, found in the 6000 block of Camel Road in northwestern Upshur County, was wanted in Red River County on a charge of felony evading arrest/ detention. After locating him, the SIU seized two firearms and charged him in Upshur County with unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, which is itself a felony. The next three cases occurred as the unit investigated suspicious activity at the Super game room. John Marvis McGill, 44, of Gladewater, was arrested July 22 when the unit encountered a suspicious vehicle he occupied in the parking lot and found him in possession of 1-4 grams of methamphetamine. He was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance. Cedric Theobles Williams, 38, of Tyler, was arrrested July 23 on multiple, mostly drug-related

charges after the unit stopped the vehicle he occupied as a passenger. The unit discovered he possessed methamphetamine, Xanax and marijuana, resulting in these charges: felony possession of a controlled substance--at least four grams, but less than 200 grams of methamphetamine, felony possession of a controlled substance (less than 28 grams of Xanax), and misdemeanor possession of marijuana (under two ounces). Williams, arrested at the Upshur-Gregg County line on U.S. 271 in Gladewater, was also found to have an outstanding Smith County misdemeanor warrant charging him with driving while license suspended. Carl Wayne Timmons, 36, of Gladewater, was arrested July 24 on multiple charges after the unit attempted to have him stop his vehicle, and followed him about one mile when he initially did not halt. Timmons was jailed on charges of felony possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), which officers seized along with drug paraphernalia, and misdemeanor fleeing from a police officer. Timmons did not halt until reaching the intersection of FM 1844 and Bob-o-Link Road. In a case previously reported in this newspaper, Rebecca Chilton Reliford, 46, of Ore City, was arrested in that city July 25 and charged with manufacture/ delivery of controlled substance as the unit seized 7.7 grams of methamphetamine and numerous other items.

Bodies found at East Mountain RV park ID’d The Gregg County Sheriff’s Office has identified two people who were found dead last Monday in the East Mountain area. On Thursday, officials identified the victims as Joshua Lee Geiger, 37, and Sara Joy Travis, 31. Geiger and Travis were found in a home in the 300 block of Coulter Road, off of FM 1844. Gregg County Pct. 1 Justice of the Peace B.H. Jameson said at the time of the discovery that the deceased had been in the trailer for a number of days. Jameson reportedly said the two had recently moved into the area. The bodies have been sent to a medical examiner for autopsy. According to reports, the

Gregg County Sheriff’s Office received a call asking for a welfare check on a person at the Coulter Road address. A deputy reportedly found the deceased people and called in for super-

visors and investigators to come to the scene. The Gregg County district attorney and an assistant district attorney assisted before a justice of the peace arrived and ordered an autopsy.
