CRIMINAL JUSTICE

Man in custody following high-speed chase By STACY FAISON The Lufkin News

Video

A Nacogdoches man was taken into custody Friday night following a shoplifting incident at Walmart that sparked a 24-minute highspeed chase from Angelina to Nacogdoches County, according to a press release from Jessica Pebsworth, Lufkin Police Department media relations specialist. Lufkin Police were called to Walmart for a theft in progress around 6:30 p.m. Friday when Leslie Jackson, 45, of Nacogdoches, took a television out of the box and was walking toward the Garden Center, Pebsworth said. Loss prevention attempted to stop Jackson, but he continued walking out and was in the parking lot when an officer arrived. The officer attempted to speak to Jackson, but Jackson told him, “I already talked to them,” and continued to walk away, according to Pebsworth. Jackson then got into a maroon Chevy Cruze, where a female passenger was waiting, and took off out of the parking lot at a high rate of speed, ignoring the officer, Pebsworth said. Jackson drove through the Sam’s parking lot around Outback Steakhouse and turned right on Daniel McCall. He

The pursuit continued on U.S. Highway 59 north with speeds reaching 125-130 mph and Jackson weaving in and out of traffic, according to Pebsworth. As the pursuit entered Nacogdoches County, several Nacogdoches County Sheriff’s Office deputies attempted to spike the vehicle’s tires, but Jackson veered, crossed the median and drove north in the southbound lanes before reentering the northbound lanes, Pebsworth said. He continued on U.S. 59 and turned right

on County Road 522 before bailing out of the car and running behind 1048 County Road 522, where he was caught by another LPD JACKSON officer and taken into custody, according to Pebsworth. The passenger got out and waited in a driveway for officers. She was visibly shaken and told officers that she had been trying to get out of the car because she was frightened. A Department of Public Safety trooper told the officer that he noticed

the woman trying to get out of the vehicle when Jackson had slowed down and that she seemed to be in distress, Pebsworth said. The woman told officers that Jackson had picked her up and was supposed to take her home, but asked if she would go to Walmart with him first. Officers do not believe she was involved in the theft. Jackson was taken to the Nacogdoches County Jail on a warrant for criminal nonsupport. A charge of thirddegree-felony evading arrest with a previous conviction is pending.

Neighborhood STRONG receives $23,000 grant By JESS HUFF The Lufkin News Neighborhood STRONG, a nonprofit that repairs derelict homes for low-income families, received a $23,000 grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank in Dallas. The organization was born in 2016 when Kenneth Campbell met a man whose house had been damaged after a tree fell on it. Campbell and his friend, Dr. Wayne Lawrence, decided something needed to be done to help the man, and Lawrence took the issue to a minister at First United Methodist Church. The church allocated money to hire a contractor, and Lawrence and Campbell repaired the home, which led to another home being repaired. In order to receive funding to rebuild even more homes, Campbell and Lawrence filed for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status and formed Neighborhood STRONG. Lawrence serves as director of the board and manages the enterprise, and Campbell is the projects manager. The organization repaired 12 houses in 2017. It has finished 14 so far this year and anticipates completing 10 more by year’s end, Lawrence said. In addition to the Federal Home Loan Bank in Dallas, the organization has received funding from the T.L.L. Temple Foundation, the Kurth Foundation, Bernard Foundation and Pineywoods Foundation. Applicants submit several documents, such as Social Security and financial statements, to show income. The board picks houses based on financial need and opens them to bid for contractors in the area. Their goal is to make houses as livable and safe as possible, Lawrence said. Aside from contract work, STRONG partners with local churches and schools to produce volunteers. The volunteers clean and paint the houses to make them look as

CENTRAL CROSS COUNTRY

Participants enjoy fruit for their efforts at Melon Run By STEPHANIE STEVENS The Lufkin News POLLOK — The wind whistled past 8-year-old Barrett Hatton’s ears as he zoomed across the finish line in order to get the long-awaited treat — watermelon — during the inaugural Central ISD Cross Country Melon Run on Saturday at Central Elementary School. About 40 community members competed in 1-mile and 5K runs before devouring watermelon slices. Hatton earned first place in the boys division as well as second place overall. “I love running,” Hatton huffed and puffed at the end of the race. His face lit up when he saw the watermelon slices, and he took off again. His brother Bennett, 6, chased after him. “I just ran for the watermelon,” he yelled back with laugh. Coach Jason Myers said proceeds will benefit the Central ISD cross country program. “Our program has been building over the past couple years,” Myers said. “When I took over, there were five kids, and this year I think we are close to 50 kids in the program.” Myers said the event was success. “We had a lot of great sponsors and appreciate the community for coming up,” he said. “We hope to make it an annual thing and make it bigger and better for next year.” Varsity team member Zackary Randall thanked the community for coming out to support the team. “The end goal was to bring out as many people as we could and have fun,” Randall said. “It’s like a big family out here. It’s really exciting to see all the support.” The cross country team has gone to state for the past two years, and Randall’s goal this year is to make it back to state. “I believe we can do it again,” he

with Basham Construction donated labor and use of his tools all day Saturday. “If it weren’t for Seth, I don’t think we could do the outside in one day, let alone at all,” Lopez said. “We appreciate his support and everyone who helped.” Basham said he was happy to help replace rotted siding and renovate the exterior. “I enjoy helping kids,” he said. “I knew they wouldn’t be able to do the work needed and was happy to give a helping hand. The Scouts are a great organization.” Assistant Cub Master Daniel Nabors welcomed com-

AROUND THE WORLD From wire reports

Former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan dies ACCRA, Ghana — Kofi Annan, a charismatic global diplomat and the first black African to become United Nations secretarygeneral who led the world body through one of its most ANNAN turbulent periods, died early Saturday at age 80. Tributes flowed in from around the world after his foundation announced his death in the Swiss capital, Bern, after a short and unspecified illness. The statement remembered the Nobel Peace Prize winner as “radiating genuine kindness, warmth and brilliance in all he did.” He died “peacefully in his sleep,” the president of Ghana, where Annan was born, said after speaking to his wife.

WCVB-TV reports a 47-year-old man was arrested at the Southers Marsh Golf Club in Plymouth Friday after he apparently got into a fight with another golfer and bit off a part of his thumb. The station reports the victim’s thumb had been bitten off to his knuckle and he was transported to a local hospital for treatment. The incident happened around sunset. The attacker was arrested and charged with mayhem. A police dispatcher declined to comment Saturday and Chief Michael Botieri didn’t immediately return a call.

Houston school removes sign after criticism HOUSTON — A sign at a Houston elementary and middle school that sparked criticism on social media has been removed. The Houston Independent School District says the sign that read, “The more you act like a lady, the more he’ll act like a gentleman,” was removed Friday night. The wall was patched and repainted. The sign was above a row of lockers in a girls’ locker room at Gregory-Lincoln Education Center, a school covering kindergarten through eighth grade. The sign drew attention on social media after a Houston resident posted a picture of it on Twitter. For more world news, visit LufkinDailyNews.com.

CHURCH ANNIVERSARY

Beaumont’s oldest black church celebrating 150 years By PHOEBE SUY Beaumont Enterprise BEAUMONT — From its beginnings in the years after the Civil War, Beaumont’s oldest black church has witnessed the establishment of the area’s first black public school, weathered desegregation and this year will celebrate 150 years as a “beacon of light in the community.” “Born and raised” in St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church, Walter McCloney said he strives to keep his “commitment (to the church) palatable.” The Beaumont Enterprise reports the 79-year-old church trustee said St. Paul A.M.E Church is a part of the legacy and vision of the “spiritual builders” who founded the church in 1868. “We’re the beneficiaries of what they did,” said McCloney, pointing to the vaulted ceiling and colorful glass windows that adorn the Waverly Street sanctuary. McCloney, the third generation in his family to attend the church, said St. Paul was “very special” to him as one of the oldest black churches in Beaumont. St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church grew out of a Methodist church organized for blacks three years after the end of the Civil War, according to historical church documents. Members of the young church met on alternative Sundays in the basement of the Jefferson County Courthouse. A Beaumonter since “the close of the War between the States,” church founder and former slave Woodson Pipkin was known for his “quaint old timey ways and self-respecting habits,” according to church documents. Pipkin formally became the group’s first pastor in 1872 and moved the church to the second story of his residence once located in the 900 block of Market Street. The church soon outgrew the upper story of Pipkin’s home and moved to a larger location on Beaumont’s north side at the site of what is now Alice Keith Park. On Sundays, the church doubled as a school where many church members learned to read and write, according to an account by local historian Judith Linsley. Pipkin later donated a lot on Wall Street that was the “center of activities for blacks,” witnessing countless births, deaths, weddings and civic ceremonies. St. Paul remained at the downtown location until the early 1960s, when the old building began to give way to “age and decay,” according to church records. When the upper story of the church’s structure caved in, church members made do and held services in the basement. But when a fire destroyed the two-story building, the congregation raised funds to purchase the Waverly Street property. St. Paul “stands on their shoulders” of longtime church members who have “kept the faith,” McCloney said. In the 1940s and 1950s, St.

St. Paul’s started in 1868 and met at the home of the Rev. Woodson Pipkin, a former slave. It has been at its current location on Waverly Street since 1964, where it also served as a hub for local meetings and activities during the civil rights movement.

University in 1956, according to McCloney. While its membership has slowly dwindled, McCloney said he looks forward to reaching out to families and communities to become a part of the church’s legacy. “This is our family,” said Bobbie Williams, who joined the church in the 1980s after moving here from Louisiana. Williams said she joined St. Paul after feeling “so at ease” in the church. Years ago, women weren’t seen in church without hats or gloves, Williams recalled, adding that St. Paul’s “down-to-earth” and no-frills atmosphere made her feel welcome. Williams used to sit in the same pew as the late Fayetta Donovan, one of Pipkin’s descendants, who Williams said was “a lot of fun.” Whenever the preacher would “preach too long,” Donovan would begin to shake her keys to signal the end of the hour. “Ms. Donovan always said, if they preach too long, the people will lose their spirit,” Williams said. Church founders and organizers “kept the faith for so long,” McCloney said. He is proud to be a part of the tight-knit congregation and “a lifelong member of that legacy.”

OUR OPINION

Fierce 14s

Ride to national title might have felt a little different this time, but what a fun ride it’s been!

LUFKINDAILYNEWS.COM

THE FIRST AMENDMENT Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Public owes teachers a debt of gratitude A s some long-awaited rain poured into the rivers and lakes across our region, our students are once again pouring into the hallways and classrooms of schools across the state. With the new school year TRENT ASHBY upon us, I hope you’ll take a moment to thank the teachers, faculty and administrators who have been working diligently to prepare for our students’ return to school. These men and women play such a critical role in shaping our children’s future, and we owe them a debt of gratitude for their service. So, as our campuses come to life in the coming days and weeks, I want to wish all of our students the very best as they embark on another school year. With that said, here’s an update from your State Capitol. House interim charge: public education. In the spirit of “back to school,” the House Committee on Public Education will be the

topic of this week’s column. This 11-member committee has jurisdiction over all matters pertaining to the programming, financing and overall supervision of primary and secondary education in Texas. Furthermore, this committee has purview over a number of agencies, including the State Board of Education and the Texas Education Agency. The members of the Public Education Committee have been especially busy this interim, as they have been tasked with examining a number of issues relating to Hurricane Harvey before the start of the school year. More specifically, the committee has been asked to determine the scope of financial loss that resulted from Hurricane Harvey and make recommendations on possible state actions to provide assistance to affected school districts. Unrelated to Harvey, the Committee on Public Education has been hard at work examining how additional state funding might be used to enhance compensation in districts facing a shortage of experienced teachers. I am pleased that the committee has been tasked with this charge, as we must ensure

that the state of Texas is providing the necessary resources to not only attract more teachers, but also retain quality teachers. The committee has also been asked to examine alternative options for evaluating student achievement beyond standardized tests. While the Texas House voted last session to eliminate a number of over-burdensome standardized tests, these measures ultimately failed to make it to the governor’s desk. Moving forward, we must continue to seek solutions that assess students beyond a onesize-fits-all approach, and instead allow teachers to teach subject content and worry less about a single high-stakes, be-all, end-all test. Reminders: The mobile office has been busy this month and looks forward to seeing you from 9-11 a.m. Wednesday at the San Augustine County Courthouse in San Augustine. As always, please do not hesitate to contact our office if we can help you in any way. Trent Ashby is the state representative for District 57 that includes Angelina, Houston, Leon, Madison, San Augustine and Trinity counties. His email address is trent.ashby@house.state. tx.us. He and his staff are available during the week at (512) 463-0508 or 634-2762.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Red-light cameras

he ride was a little different this time around, but the destination was the same — and could be even better. On their way to the U.S. championship at the Little League World Series last season, the “Thundering 13” were a fixture on national TV. They were featured on “Top 10” highlights and even had Major League players in attendance for one of their wins. This time around, fans who were unable to make the trip to Michigan to watch the “Fierce 14s” cruise through the Junior League World Series en route to another national championship had to try a little bit harder to see their favorite boys of summer in action. Instead of games in high definition, fans had to sync up their phones or smart TVs to get a streaming feed or listen to the big game on the radio. But while the boys did their job on the field, fans at home joined along for the ride, as what seemed like a lukewarm reception before the World Series turned into another windfall of support for our all-stars. The talk around town all last week was of our boys in Michigan reminding the rest of the U.S. that they weren’t a team that could be slept on. What could have been a crushing defeat to Chicago in Lufkin’s first game of the tournament turned into a win for the ages when Hunter Ditsworth, who is no stranger to the big moment, roped a walkoff three-run double. On Monday, Lufkin showed it wasn’t only one of the most exciting teams in Taylor, Michigan, but was also one of the teams to beat. On Wednesday, going up against a Manhattan Beach, California, team that would eventually battle its way out of the loser’s bracket to face Lufkin for the U.S. championship, Mark Requena dialed up all the right numbers on his way to a complete game three-hit shutout. And on Saturday, Lufkin was able to win the U.S. title behind a dominating pitching performance from Ditsworth, who kept the California team off the scoreboard early before giving up a pair of fifth-inning runs, and an offensive output sparked by Sam Flores, who set the tone for the game just four batters in. These young men — from top to bottom of the lineup — can flat-out play. That talent mixed with a winning attitude makes this year’s squad a team that not only won the U.S. title but is sure to give the winner of the international bracket a run for its money in today’s world championship game. We’re certainly not counting them out. And judging by the talk around town, neither are any of you. And they even earned their way back onto your TV sets once again. So for those that haven’t jumped on board yet, you’re officially out of excuses. The world championship game against Chinese Taipei, which has won the last five Junior League World Series titles, is set for 11 a.m. today and can be seen on ESPN2. Members of the Fierce 14s are Chip Buchanan, Cameron Jackson, Hunter Ditsworth, Sam Flores, Bebo Hinojosa, Mark Requena, Aidan Wood, Christian Mumphery, Ricky Rodriguez, Charlie Deaton, Gavin Del Toro, Kolby Kovar and Kyle Johnson.

I taught there happily for 20 years. I then took on several leadership positions as the activities director, prom sponsor, Student Council sponsor, curriculum principal, and finally as the associate principal at the high school. I moved to administration in July of 2006 as the assistant superintendent, and in 2015, I became the deputy superintendent. My journey has taken me through a wide range of experiences throughout my career. Those memorable experiences, and lessons learned, will help shape how Lufkin ISD moves into the future. Some of my favorite memories include planning and facilitating student travel around the world. You know you can accomplish anything if you can take 140 people at a time to Italy and back! Lufkin High School has sponsored trips far and wide, from Moscow, Egypt, Turkey, Paris, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Greece, to London and beyond. All once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for our students to see the culture and art that they are learning about in school in an up-close and personal way. What I love most about Lufkin is that we offer students a variety of choices to ensure that they are successful. From our CTE courses to our fine arts classes, from our new Early College High School program to our advanced courses, students can choose which path is best for them. We also offer opportunities for our staff like professional development and our Leadership Academy. I know Lufkin ISD has given me opportunities for growth, and I dedicate my time and effort to make sure that we continue to grow and challenge our students. Lufkin ISD has always supported our students and staff. Throughout my years with the district, I have met amazing people along the way. I have enjoyed seeing the improvements the district has made, having a hand in those improvements, and, most of all, the joy on the faces of students who are learning. Lufkin ISD is a unique place to work and grow. We always talk about the LP Way and what that means to our staff and students, but this year LP will stand for our theme: Limitless Possibilities. That’s what Lufkin offers. Limitless Possibilities. We would love to share what those Limitless Possibilities could mean for your student. This is going to be a great year because at Lufkin ISD, there are “Limitless Possibilities”! Lynn Torres is the superintendent of Lufkin ISD. Her email address is ltorres@lufkinisd.org.

I went to Lufkin’s municipal court recently regarding a ticket I got for running a red light while turning off Timberland Drive onto Chestnut Drive. The judge and city marshal in charge of traffic cameras were there. I was shocked when I received the citation from Tempe, Arizona. I was to mail the $75 payment to Cincinnati, Ohio — for running a red light in Lufkin? I was confused so I called and spoke with the city marshal. I was told I could contest it. I received a court date and was advised of a $25 administrative fee for going to court. In court there were six people contesting their tickets. I was No. 5. The first man was rushing his father to the hospital. He was told that was no excuse, but they would waive the $25 administration fee. The next was a lady from out of town whose husband was in ICU. Her son ran the red light in her car. Her husband passed away the following morning. They told her that was no excuse but they would waive the $25 administrative fee. She would have to pay the $75 and try and get it back from her son. The next was a man who was driving in the rain, skidded twice and ran the light. He was told there were no indications he had hit his brakes, was running 53 in a 50 mph zone and had time to stop. He had an additional $25 charge for asking for a late hearing above the original $75, so they would waive the $25 administrative fee and he would only have to pay $100. The next was a man they both knew. He was caught on camera turning onto Chestnut Drive from Timberland Drive. He said the light only stays green for four seconds (they agreed) and he was the third vehicle in line to turn behind a van and another car. He said the van was blocking his view, so when van and second car turned he was right on their bumper and because of the obstructed view, ran the red light. They then discussed where his deer lease is in Corrigan. They dismissed his ticket because the first vehicle, the van, was obstructing his view — even though he was the third car? I was next. Same light. Same four seconds. I was going 15 mph and the light turned red on me. I was told to complain to TxDOT because they control the lights. Pay the $75 plus $25 administrative fee. I go to pay my ticket and they don’t take cash. For a debit card or check there is an additional $4 convenience fee. I told them I’ll mail it to Cincinnati and they can get it from them. This is a scam. I asked how much the city gets from the $75 ticket and the city gets $30. Unless, apparently, you’re one of the good ol’ boys, then they’ll dismiss your ticket completely.

production of Tamiflu. The world supply of shikimic acid is derived from the Chinese spice star anise, but in years of flu epidemics, supply could run short. “I told Sen. Hutchison it’s not an issue because the sweetgum tree supply in Nacogdoches was enough for the needs of the whole U.S.”

Claims to fame In 1994, Li joined SFA, working explicitly with plants from East Texas and other regions. During the past two decades, his team has screened more than 1,300 species of plants and isolated more than 2,000 compounds from 52 of those species. Of those 2,000 compounds, 186 had never been discovered. Currently, Li has two staff scientists working in the lab. Dr. Ping Wang has worked for SFA since 2005, and she is responsible for the isolation of 27 new compounds, including Salviniol and salvinisides. Dr. Zushang Su has worked with Li since 2011 and has isolated 43 new compounds. Thirteen patents have been filed, a few of which are still pending, for a number of compounds Li and his team have discovered that show promise in fighting cancer. The most recently granted patent was for the compound Salviniol, which Li’s team discovered in and extracted from giant salvinia. Lab trials verify Salviniol can slow and, in some cases, completely inhibit the growth of a wide range of cancer cells. “Dr. Li and his team of researchers at the National Center for Pharmaceutical Crops are engaged in cutting-edge, basic research that is raising the national profile on the quality of research conducted at SFA,” said Dr. Hans Williams, dean of the SFA Arthur Temple College of Forestry and Agriculture. “We have been aggressive in promoting Dr. Li’s results in various outlets because it is critical for us to continue to highlight his

During the past two decades, Dr. Shiyou Li’s team has screened more than 1,300 species of plants and isolated more than 2,000 compounds from 52 of those species. Of those 2,000 compounds, 186 had never been discovered. research. Raising awareness of his important discoveries will assist Dr. Li in his efforts to find financial support to continue his work.” Of course, while incredibly exciting, the discovery of Salviniol is the first step in a long and arduous process of clinical and other testing before the compound could be potentially used in the

creation of a cancer-fighting drug. “Right now, we are only in the early stages of discovery,” Li explained. “For this to become an available medicine you need human clinical trials, and you need FDA approval. All of that is the medical doctors’ job. We are just doing research. We don’t know how toxic this is to

human systems yet. We don’t know the long-term impact on humans.” In the meantime, endocides have vast possibilities in the realm of invasive species management.

Title Town, Texas Team effort leads to another US championship JUNIOR LEAGUE WORLD SERIES

By JOSH HAVARD The Lufkin News TAYLOR, Mich. — In an unprecedented two-year run, a group of boys that has garnered the attention of a city, state and nation has worn many labels. Lufkin All-Stars, Texas East and Southwest have been labels they’ve worn proudly across their chest. Perhaps the one that fits them best is simply “Champs.” On Saturday night, Lufkin walked onto the field with six American champions. By the time they jumped into each other’s arms more than two hours later, they stood united as Junior League U.S. champions. Hunter Ditsworth pitched a gem, Sam Flores delivered a two-run homer and a Lufkin team took home a U.S. championship for the second straight year by picking up a 5-2 win over Manhattan Beach, California. “We weren’t losing this one,” Kolby Kovar said. “This was our time and we weren’t letting it slip away. From the time we got out here, we knew this was our championship to win.” Going against a team it had beaten 2-0 three days earlier, Lufkin knew it didn’t have any room for error thanks to the modified double-elimination format that would have sent the “Fierce 14s” home with a single loss. Lufkin flashed the full team effort that has been on display throughout the summer but was never more evident against the best America had to offer. Sam Flores set the tone for the game with an early blast, Ditsworth was his typically dominating self and Lufkin held off a determined California team after it seemed to be against the ropes late in the

Six members of ‘Thundering 13’ go back-to-back

With the U.S. championship in tow, members of last year’s ‘’Thundering 13’’ were honored across the city and across the state of Texas for the better part of the last year. When it was time to get back to work, six of those same players showed what they do best. Winning back-to-back titles in two different age groups, they left all opponents thunderstruck on their way to showing they are unmatched across the nation when it comes to youth baseball. “Last year felt like a oncein-a-lifetime thing and we’d heard we couldn’t do it again,” Lufkin’s Kolby Kovar said. “To be back here in another city, another environment, doing it all again, feels really good.” Playing 400 miles west of South Williamsport, Pennsyl-

LUFKIN NEWS &

TAYLOR, Mich. — The talk of the town for the better part of the last month has been on Lufkin winning back-to-back titles. For seven of those players, they laid it all on the line just to win their first. And when the final out was in the books, they could finally bask in the glow of making some of their own history. Members of the first-ever U.S. Junior League championship team from Lufkin, they took a few well-deserved moments to soak it all in. “I think I blacked out there for a minute,” Lufkin’s Sam Flores, who delivered the biggest blow of the game, a two-run blast over the center field fence in the first inning, said. “This hasn’t sunk in yet, mainly because we still have one left. I just know it feels pretty good.” Aidan Wood, another firsttime champion, admits to a few hours of superstition with a lifelong dream seemingly within grasp for much of the afternoon.

JUNIOR LEAGUE WORLD SERIES

Chinese Taipei routs Mexico for international title By JOSH HAVARD The Lufkin News TAYLOR, Mich. — Tzu Yu Tseng pitched a complete game two-hit shutout as the five-time defending World Series champions from Chinese Taipei rolled to a 10-0 win over Mexico in the international title game on Saturday afternoon. Tseng walked only one batter while striking out four as the tournament favorites looked the part in a game that was called after five innings due to the 10-run mercy rule. Tseng also led Chinese Taipei at the plate with two hits and two RBIs while

Kuan Lun Huang ripped a solo homer. After stranding a pair of Mexico runners on the corners in the top of the first inning, Chinese Taipei didn’t miss out on its first chance of the game when Tseng delivered a two-out RBI single for an early 1-0 lead. Chinese Taipei put up two more runs in the second inning with Pao-Lo Huang delivering an RBI single before ChimHua Ye scored on a double steal. That lead grew to 4-0 in the third inning when Kuan Lun Huang ripped a solo shot over the left field fence. Chinese Taipei continued to add to its lead in the fifth inning as Kuan Lun Huang scored on a wild pitch before C.

Li delivered an RBI single up the middle that made it 6-0. Chim-Hua Ye and Pao-Lo Huang hit back-to-back RBI singles that upped the margin to 8-0. Kuan Lun Huang and Tseng drew back-to-back bases-loaded walks to put the 10-run mercy rule into effect. Erick Ortega took the loss for Mexico, allowing seven runs, six earned runs, on five hits and four walks. With the win, Chinese Taipei stayed unbeaten in the tournament with its fourth straight win, setting up today’s championship showdown with Lufkin. Josh Havard’s email address is jhavard@lufkindailynews.com.

Title Continued from Page 1B Since then, it has been clear sailing for Chinese Taipei, which defeated Australia 10-0 on Wednesday to advance to the championship game then took the international title game in convincing fashion with a 10-0 win over Mexico. In addition, Chinese Taipei has won the last five Junior League World Series titles. However, if any team were to be undaunted by those impressive credentials, it is a Lufkin team that has lost a total of three games over the last two summers on the way to two U.S. championships. “For these guys, it isn’t any bigger of a stage than we’ve been on,” Lufkin head coach Oralio Flores said. “It’s just another game for them. Win or lose, we’re going to give it all we’ve got.” Even though many teams could shy away from the spotlight of a five-time defending world champion, Lufkin is actually embracing it. In fact, winning the world championship would be the only way to add to its impressive resume. “We’re going to try to finish it off this time around,” Lufkin’s Hunter Ditsworth said. “This is what the goal has

right there, he was going to take care of it,” Ditsworth said. “I didn’t make a few pitches in the fifth inning, and that let them get a few runs, but I was able to get into the seventh. My offense had my back.” That offense was sparked by Sam Flores, who set the tone for the game just four batters in. After Chip Buchanan worked a leadoff walk and was sacrificed to second on a Cameron Jackson bunt, Flores stepped to the plate and came up with one of his biggest hits of the summer, a line shot that landed well beyond the center field fence for a tworun homer. It was Lufkin’s first homer of the World Series, and it came at the perfect time against Robert Love, who had shut down the Fierce 14s

for 31/3 innings on Wednesday night. “I knew how good his curve ball was, but he gave me a fast ball that was down, and I wasn’t going to let it get past me,” Flores said. “It felt good, and I thought it showed we’re not a team that’s just happy to play in a game like this. We’re here to win.” Lufkin threatened to put the game away in the second inning before the most bizarre play of the tournament left both teams speechless. With the bases loaded, Buchanan lined a shot toward the second baseman that was ruled to have hit the ground before the fielder caught it. Unaware of the ruling, the second baseman attempted to get the force out at home. However, at the conclusion of the play, the home plate umpire explained the original ruling was a catch, leaving California to throw both to first and second base in an attempt to double up the runners. After two lengthy discussions among each other and another with the tournament director, it was ruled the batter and runners at first and second base were both out. However, the runner was allowed to score from third without tagging up due to the team not making the play at third base. That gave Lufkin a 3-0 lead that could have been even greater. “I still don’t understand what happened,” Lufkin head coach Oralio Flores said. “I saw the ball skip into his glove so I knew it wasn’t a catch, but the umpire ruled he caught it. I’m not too worried about

He dominated early before giving up a pair of fifth-inning runs. He overcame those to finish 61/3 innings, while allowing two earned runs on four hits with three walks and three strikeouts before coming out of the game after reaching the 95-pitch limit in the seventh inning. Even that didn’t slow down the Fierce 14s, who handed the ball to Bebo Hinojosa. He recorded the final two outs on a groundout and a flyout. “I wanted to finish it off, but I knew that if I got it to Bebo

it now. I’m just glad the kids didn’t let it bother them.” Lufkin was able to add to its lead in the fourth inning when Hinojosa delivered an RBI single to center field that made it 4-0. On the same play, a California error ended up leading to a Lufkin out at the plate when it tried to put the fifth run on the board. Lufkin had another chance to break the game wide open in the fourth inning but left the bases loaded. That seemed to open the door for California, who used some two-out magic to finally push a pair of runs across the plate in the fifth inning. With one out, Love drew a walk before Connor Meidroth singled. Ben Gneiser then delivered a two-run single that cut Lufkin’s lead in half at 4-2. Although Lufkin was able to get out of the inning without any further damage, Ditsworth’s pitch count had skyrocketed to 88 through five innings. With the tournament’s pitch limit at 95, one of the keys in the game was his ability to get through the sixth inning with only six pitches. Lufkin got a vital insurance run in the seventh inning when Sam Flores was hit by a pitch and Wood eventually scored on an RBI groundout by Hinojosa, making it 5-2. Ditsworth got the leadoff man to fly out to center before Hinojosa came in to shut the door for the save. “I don’t even know how to explain it,” Lufkin’s Mark Requena said. “Knowing we’re the best team in the USA is a pretty good feeling.” Josh Havard’s email address is jhavard@lufkindailynews.com.

Repeat Continued from Page 1B Lufkin got plenty of contributions from the players who were back for a second run through the best competition America had to offer. Ditsworth got the win on the mound and a hit at the plate. Chip Buchanan got Lufkin’s offense started with a leadoff walk and an RBI and run. Christian Mumphery smoothly tracked down any ball within reach in the outfield while Charlie Deaton did his usual quiet work behind the plate in addition to getting a single. Mark Requena and Kovar

also were among the Lufkin players to reach base on a hit batter and a walk. “To win this two years in a row is unexplainable,” Requena said. “With everything we’ve been through before, we knew we were ready for the moment. I just love playing this sport, and to be able to share moments like these is something I’ll remember.” After back-to-back titles brought a city together for the second straight year, those six players won’t be the only ones with a lifetime of memories.

Those players left their marks all over Saturday’s championship game. In addition to Flores’ two-run shot, Hinojosa got the final two outs in recording the save. He’ll also get the ball in the world championship game today. Hinojosa also got a pair of hits and two RBIs and was on base in three of four plate appearances. Johnson came through with a key hit up the middle and Wood scored a pair of runs. “These guys are ballplayers,” Lufkin head coach Oralio Flores said. “They deserve this moment, and I hope they really enjoy it.” Josh Havard’s email address is jhavard@lufkindailynews.com.

Dancing with Doves

Sept. 1 opener kicks off another long line of Texas hunting seasons By MATT WILLIAMS For The Lufkin News We’re on the cusp of another Texas dove season. For many of the state’s 400,000plus dove hunters, the Sept. 1 opener in the North and Central zones won’t get here soon enough. South Zone hunters get the green light to load their scatterguns on Sept. 14, the earliest opening date since 1950.

2018-19 dove seasons ■ North Zone: Sept. 1-Nov. 4 and Dec. 21- Jan. 14 ■ Central Zone: Sept. 1-Nov. 4 and Dec. 21,- Jan. 14 ■ South Zone: Sept. 14-Oct. 30 and Dec. 14-Jan. 21 Additional days for Special White-winged Dove season: Sept. 1, 2, 8, 9 (special regulations apply) ■ Daily limits: 15 doves per day, no more than two white-tipped doves. No more than two mourning dove and two white-tipped doves during the South Zone special white-winged dove days. Opening day of dove season is to Texas hunters what that first flicker of Friday night lights is to high school football junkies. It’s a really big deal, but not just because it is the opening kickoff for a long line of hallowed hunting seasons that will lure thousands of Texans to the woods and water before winter gives way to another spring. Texas dove hunting is as rich in tradition as the tailgate parties and tasty baconwrapped breasts that are often served up in the wake of a successful afternoon in the field. Even though the season is a long one, spanning 90 days, opening day is one that most dove hunters would rather not miss. There are plenty of excuses not to miss out when the first shots ring in the 2018-19 season at 30 minutes before sunrise on Sept. 1. One of the best is the timing. Opening day this year falls on the Saturday at the start of the long Labor Day weekend. That means a potential threeday window of opportunity to get out and experience what is arguably the best, low-cost option available on Texas’ vast hunting menu.

Texas’ white-winged dove population is booming at around 10 million.

DOVE HUNTING TIPS

MATT WILLIAMS/For The Lufkin News

Dove hunting is great family sport that may be the best, low-cost option available to Texas hunters. Even in a bad year, Texas dove hunting is better than most states. The state has a resident mourning dove population of 35 million birds.

Annual Public Hunting Permit through the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The $48 permit is available wherever licenses are sold. It provides access to more than 1 million acres of public hunting land around the state, including 124 properties totaling nearly 46,000 acres that are currently under lease by TPWD for dove and/or small game hunting. Many are located near metro areas. You can download maps of the areas at tpwd.texas. gov/huntwild/hunt/public/ annual_public_hunting.

Therefore, access is only allowed during those dates and com. Another option is to buy an you must be in possession of

a valid APHP to access those properties.” Dreibelbis said public dove hunters should pick up all their trash and shot shell hulls before they leave. Also, birds should be cleaned in the field, not in the park areas, and all gates left as they were found. “Leases have been lost because one or two hunters failed to do these things or were discourteous to a landowner that stopped by to check on the field,” Dreibelbis said. “It is up to our hunters to ensure that they conduct themselves in a courteous and ethical manner at all times while hunting on our properties.”

doves are considered bonus birds because they do not count toward your daily limit.

The outlook

“It’s a great time to be a dove hunter in Texas,” said Owen Fitzsimmons, TPWD’s webless migratory game bird program leader. “Mourning dove numbers are up from previous years, and white-winged numbers have exploded, more than doubling over the past decade. Our white-winged population trend data indicates that they are continuing to increase in abundance and distribution, and are now found almost everywhere in the state.” The rise in dove numbers has resulted in a spike in harTexas: a dove vest.

It’s easy to become rusty during the off season or forget the basics when you haven’t visited a good dove field in a year or more. Here are a few tips to make your dove hunting trip safe and enjoyable: ■ Be mindful of self and others: Always be aware of where other hunters are positioned and don’t take questionable shots. Play some defense out there. Wear shooting glasses as protection from stray pellets. ■ Clothing: Doves have excellent eyesight. Wear drab or camo clothing to blend in with the natural surroundings. Shield your face to avoid being seen by approaching birds. ■ Take cover: Make use of your surroundings. Huddle up next to a bush or tree to break up your pattern and find shade from the searing September sun. ■ Use a decoy: Spinning decoys like the Mojo can be like magic in the dove field. The spinning wings will at times attract doves from a distance and hold their attention until they fly into shooting range. ■ Water hole savvy: Water will be at a premium this year, especially in areas hard hit by drought. Stock tanks could draw afternoon birds like a magnet. ■ The best shot: Among the best dove loads are numbers 71/2 and 8. Premium shot shells cost a little more than the blue light specials, but they will pattern much better. ■ Choked up: Improved, skeet or modified cylinder chokes are good for dove hunting. A full choke is not advised, because it patterns too tight and leaves little margin for shooting error. ■ Get comfortable: Take along a bucket or chair to sit during slow periods. It is a good idea to bring along an ice chest for cold drinks, snacks and keeping birds cool after cleaning.

■ Be mobile: Don’t be afraid to change locations if birds are consistently skirting you, unless it will infringe on other hunters. Sometimes moving 30 to 40 yards is all it takes to get within reach of sweet spots. ■ Rules of the road: Doves are migratory birds that are federally protected. Hunting violations pack stiff fines. Always abide by the limits and legal shooting hours and never hunt around a “baited area.” A “baited area” is any area where feed has been placed or within 10 days after all such feed has been completely removed. ■ Keep birds separate: Always keep your birds separate from birds killed by other hunters. Leave some plumage on Eurasian collared doves so they can be identified. ■ Be legal: Dove hunters should have a valid hunting license, migratory bird stamp endorsement and hunter education certification card (if required) with them while in the field. Hunters born on or after Sept. 2, 1971, must complete an approved hunter education course before hunting alone. Pump and autoloading shotguns must be plugged to hold no more than three shot shells. ■ Check for jewelry: If you kill a mourning dove or white-winged dove with a metal band on its leg, be sure to report it to TPWD using the contact info provided. Reporting banded birds provides useful data for managing the birds. Banded Eurasian collared doves could be worth some valuable prizes for hunters pre-registered in the Banded Bird Challenge run by the Texas Dove Hunters Association. TDHA’s Bob Thornton says the organization trapped and banded 300 of the exotic doves around the state as part of the contest, which runs Sept. 1-Jan. 31, 2019. The top prize is a Polaris UTV. It costs $20 to enter. For more info, call (210) 764-1189.

TEXAS DOVE HUNTING FACTS ■ Texas has more dove hunters than any other state, averaging around 410,000 the last five years. In 2016-17, 463,000 dove hunters spent an estimated 1,990,992 days in the field. ■ TPWD estimates Texas dove hunters have killed an average of nearly 10 million doves annually the last five years. ■ Dove hunting is a huge cash cow that contributes upwards of $300 million annually to the Texas economy, much of it in rural towns and communities that roll out the red carpet for dove hunters each September. ■ In Coleman County, one of the state’s top dove hunting counties, the

around, not to mention Hurricane Harvey, which obviously affected a large portion of the state,” he said. “I’m hopeful that this year the weather will be a little more consistent for our wingshooters.” In addition to booming dove populations, Fitzsimmons says hunters can look forward to plenty of hunting oppor-

economic impact of dove season is estimated at around $5 million to $8 million annually. ■ Coleman, Medina, Uvalde, Williamson, Bexar and Hidalgo consistently rank among the top counties for dove hunting. Taylor, Bell, Atascosa, Cameron, Matagorda and Guadalupe counties also yield big numbers. ■ Texas dove hunters spend about $12 million annually on shotgun shells. Using $5 as the average cost per box, that’s 60 million shot shells. ■ Most dove hunters are mediocre shots at best. Several studies have shown that dove hunters shoot as few as four and as many as 8.6 shot shells for every dove they bag.

BUSINESS DAVE RAMSEY SAYS

Approach could result in 2 spoiled little girls

ear Dave: My wife and I are not on the same page when it comes to money and our two teenage daughters. I think they should be learning the value of DAVE RAMSEY work and money, but she doesn’t want them to work. She regularly hands them spending money and buys them expensive gifts. I want our girls to have some nice things, but this is starting to cause problems in our relationship. Do you have any advice? — Stan Dear Stan: Kids should learn to work and make money at an early age. We’ve given nice gifts to our kids, but the difference is they also worked and made money for themselves. The gifts we gave them were for special occasions. Showering our kids with money and expensive toys all the time was not our way of life. In this situation, your wife is allowing them to be nothing but consumers. I know she loves them, but they’re not learning how to work, and they’re not learning how to save or give. This is setting them up for a lifetime of unrealistic expectations. If something doesn’t happen to change things, you’re going to end up with two spoiled little girls, who think they should be given everything their entire lives. Still, I think the biggest problem is you and your wife are experiencing a communication and marital breakdown. If the kids weren’t in the picture, I’ve got a feeling the same problems would exist. The difference is they would manifest themselves in other ways. Obviously, your wife needs to stop being so impulsive where the kids are concerned. Try sitting down with her, and gently explaining your feelings. Let your wife know you love her and how generous she is, but you’re worried this is having a negative impact on your children. Maybe you could try to establish some guidelines as to when really nice gifts are appropriate, too. There’s a middle ground you can reach, but it’s going to take some time and effort. Most of all, it means the two of you are going to have to communicate and work together for the good of your kids. — Dave Dear Dave: I just graduated from college recently. Is it a waste of time to apply for a job if you have a degree in the proper field, but no real work experience? — Daniel Dear Daniel: Absolutely not. The only sure-fire way to ensure you’ll miss out on a job is by not applying for the position. Send a copy of your resumé to every job opportunity for which you have a reasonable chance of being hired. Then, when you get an interview, go in there with your head held high. Be articulate, enthusiastic and carry yourself with purpose. Use your style, intelligence, education and confidence to sell yourself and your ability to jump in, learn quickly and get the job done. I’ve met lots of people who say they have 20 years of experience. But in a SEE DAVE SAYS, PAGE 7B

MOVIE THEATERS

Coming soon to a theater near you: Alcohol Lufkin’s 2 movie theaters adding adult beverages, new seating By JESS HUFF The Lufkin News Lufkin’s movie theaters, AMC Classic and Cinemark 12, are adding adult beverages to the concessions stand. The city approved both theaters’ applications for mixed beverage licenses. The applications currently sit at the Texas Alcohol and Beverage Commission to be approved by the state. Nationally, both theater companies have been implementing this feature for years; AMC’s MacGuffins Bar and Lounge is available at nearly 300 locations. However, this is the first time a movie theater in Lufkin has done it. If both theaters comply with state regulations, they could be serving beer, wine and mixed drinks within 45 days, TABC spokesman Chris Porter said. “They’re trying to get the mixed beverages and restaurant permit,” Porter said. “That means they can have a full bar as long as they have a full kitchen and entrees. This could be something similar to Alamo Drafthouse, which has a full-service restaurant and bar.” AMC announced in June

Cinemark announced that it will remodel its Cinemark Lufkin to all auditoriums. 12 Theatre and will be adding Luxury Lounger reclining seats that the Lufkin Mall theater would undergo a major remodel to implement recliner seats, reserved seating and a revamped food and beverage area. The company anticipates the remodel will be complete at the end of the fall.

According to building permits reported in The Lufkin News, Cinemark has also embarked on upgrades. The company filed for a $1,440,000 building remodel and a $100,000 bar remodel. A press release said the Cinemark 12 remodel will include

new plush, electronic seating but did not indicate other new features. “We are excited to begin this remodel soon so the community can experience their favorite films in the most comfortable, state-of-the-art environment available,” Cin-

spending and saving needs? Picking the job you’ll enjoy most is the top priority, but sometimes a higher salary can be the deciding factor. There are plenty of things more important than money, but when it comes to your day job, there’s no shame in letting earnings dictate which job you accept. As long as your bills are covered and your retirement is getting funded, I see nothing wrong with taking a job that pays less but meets other needs of yours. As long as you’re being realistic about how much money you need, go with the job that

will make you happiest. Best of luck in the new position, Kerry.

long-term goals before you pick your next employer. As much as you need to be happy with your position, you should think about what’s going to make you happiest in five to 10 years, and how that might influence your daily peace of mind. If you have a mortgage or student loan or credit card debt, does it make more sense to increase your earnings so you can become financially free more quickly? If the work you’ll be doing is relatively similar at either company, which one will provide stronger opportunity for upward mobility while meeting your

You should be aware, however, that title acquired by adverse possession will usually not be considered to be marketable title, especially since the title cannot be discovered through a search of the county’s title records. To perfect the adverse possession into record title, you will need to obtain releases and deeds from any adverse claimants, or obtain a judgment quieting title.

JANICE ANN’S JOURNAL

Impact Lufkin holds brunch, bingo at Webster Plaza at old Boles R

ita Seamans invited me to the Impact Lufkin brunch and bingo at the Webster Plaza. It is in the old Boles Food Store on Abney Avenue. About 80 people attended and City Councilman Robert Shankle was the emcee. They had door prizes that JANICE ANN ROWE Vernon Webster has furnished for the group for more than a year. He has purchased Tims Funeral Home and All Families Funeral Home and lets the senior citizens use his building as a venue for their meetings every other Wednesday from 10-11:30 a.m. There will be a community meeting the first Thursday for In Partnership, which will meet at 9 a.m. Sept. 6. Vernon Webster is in Houston but the group was wishing him a happy birthday on Aug. 10. Impact Lufkin has an office in the building on Abney Avenue. While I was on that side of town, I went to Willie G’s BBQ & Fish and got their smoked chicken plate and a smoked pork chop plate. He is in the building that was Rueben’s and Willie has soul food there at 821 N. Raguet St.

He asked me if I had ever eaten “oxtail” and I said no. He brought me a sample with his good gravy and it was good. I don’t know that I would order an oxtail plate. If you are hungry for soul food, his sweet potatoes and collards were wonderful. He said that his Tuesday and Thursday’s special was popular — four wings and a biscuit for $3. He also said that he had “Ames” rolls. I will have to go back and try them because he gave me cornbread with my collards. Willie G is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Wilma Jordan has moved to Argyle. We will miss her. Ernest and I celebrated our 49th wedding anniversary on Aug. 9 with a party catered by the Pilot Club ladies from a party that I bought last year at their Angels Among the Pines fundraiser. The main roast, carrots and green beans were prepared by Rita Seamans, potatoes by Ila Rankin, and three-layer chocolate cake by Sharon Adams. Luann Tatum was the “runner” with the food for Rita. I also had help from the girls at Alene’s Florist with my centerpieces. I went in with pictures and showed Shirley Kirk, who did the three centerpieces, with Carol Vines, Halie Gaw and owner Susie Carroway. I met Susie’s mother, Jo Allen,

from Hooks. Susie also had 7-weekold granddaughter Sophia, daughter of Trey and Briana (Sanches) Simmons, who were in town visiting. Also, in Alene’s was Mary Russell with her 10-month-old granddaughter Emory. Alannah came in later to see Sophia. Emory is a clone of her mother. I had to confess to Ernest that I had bought Cambridge Crystal Rose Point glasses, plates and pitcher at Mary Nell Taylor’s estate sale that David Hicks had. I had it hidden for about four months and brought it out for the party. I told Ernest that I had “sinned” again and bought more dishes. When the Fierce 14 baseball team played in Albuquerque, New Mexico, I tried to get the game on my laptop. Everyone that I could call was at the game. I called Deaton Law and the girls helped me twice to get the game. This time I never found it but was able to listen on the radio. Thanks to radio sponsors and 94.7 for the games. Nancy and Steve Hicks are the proud grandparents of Emerson Read Hicks, born to Will and Emily Hicks on Aug. 8, 2018, in Chicago. Other grandparents are Tom and Suzanne Auld from The Woodlands. Emerson makes No. 10 for Nancy and Steve and evens up numbers to five girls and five boys. Will works

internship with ISN in Dallas. Lynne and Terry Haney helped her move her things. She loved it and learned a lot. The highlight was probably going on a client visit to New York. She got to visit and tour the Estée Lauder headquarters. Rush starts next week at Texas A&M. It was good to see Mike Bantz with wife Missy at church. He’s on a crutch after his foot surgery. Becky Bowers called about the LHS 1968 class’ 50th reunion that will be Oct. 20 at The Silo. They are mailing out info in a week or so. I took Sharon Adams’ plate back to her at Grizzly’s and found that Ken McPherson has local honey for sale at Grizzly’s. Maybe it will help with my allergies. Had a letter from Borgfeld & White, P.C., attorneys that Walter and Lisa were retiring. Walter has practiced 53 years and Lisa is taking time off to be in her home in Houston with her husband and animals. I called to get our will and power of attorney copies from Bonnie Borgfeld, who answered the phone. Their last day will be Sept. 28. We will watch for you in the community now that you have time on your hands. How about the Fierce 14s? I am so proud of them. Go Southwest for Texas.

for Wells Fargo Bank. I overheard Jessica Torres Cantrell telling Kendall Gay at the Feast in the Forest fundraiser at the Texas Forestry Museum that she had a dessert that she could make next year for the dessert auction. It was fun seeing Jessica and Ryan with their daughter Collins at the party. Polly Goodier told me that she, her 93-year-old dad, her niece and her daughter were at Philmont Scout Ranch the same time that my Isabelle was there. They had four generations for a family week. Jan Polk married Robin Middleton on March 17, 2018, in the Glen Rose First Methodist Church. Their grandchildren were their attendants. They both love to travel and be with their grandchildren. Their address is Rainbow, Texas. Robin has a ranch house for sale. Jan’s oldest daughter Heather Winn, husband Steve and their daughter Justyn live across the street. Jill Gaston and husband Keith, with daughters Addyson and Audrey, live in Wells. Robin has a son, Matthew Middleton, and his wife Lauren, and daughter Molly, who live in Lake Highlands, and a daughter, Martha Preston, and her husband Mike, and two sons, Will and Ryan, who live in Garland. Kelly Haney is home from her

By STEPHANIE STEVENS The Lufkin News As a young artist, she is still experimenting with different media and discovering her style. But currently her work dances between the line of 2-D and 3-D and occurs in almost any medium — paint, paper, marker, string, ink, etc. “The whole act of creating is amazing,” Quinn said, eyes lighting up with passion. She talked about creating a crane and joy beamed through her smile as her hands gestured making the folds of an origami. “I like to be able to hold something in my hands and say I made this,” she said. Many times she will draw random shapes and put a faces on them. “I want to invoke a feeling from somebody, and almost make them feel uncomfortable or just make an impression,” she said. “My main goal is to invoke a feeling that makes them remember the piece.” She said for her, art is a “lifeline.” “It’s always been my go-to activity,” she said. “I may be struggling to figure out what I like, my hopes, my goals, who

I am, my hobbies, but I always come back to creating and drawing, really drawing anything with color.” She said she is constantly amazed at how altering color can create a mood, tone or convey a feeling. She thanked LHS art instructors Denise Davis and Jessica Massey for supporting her passion for art. Because of their encouragement, Quinn plans on becoming an art teacher. “Having an art teacher is amazing,” Quinn said. “They aim to be part of their student’s lives and are an inspiration to me. I spent most of my time in their rooms. I’d go there during lunch and in the mornings. That was like my second home kind of. That’s something I want to do. I want to be that second home for kids.” Davis said she was proud of Quinn. “Quinn is a thoughtful and introspective artist with a dedication to developing quality work, which can be seen via a focused work ethic,” Davis said. “Conceptual ideas often direct Quinn’s work leading to thought provoking pieces. No limit is placed on media; everything is an option.”

Bryant will again be in Davis’ AP Studio Art class during her senior year this fall. “I look forward to seeing the body of work that will be created by Quinn in the future,” Davis said. “Art is a synthesis subject. The more you know and the more experiences you have all contribute to more complexity of work. Some of Quinn’s works have a quiet feel and seem minimal but the depth of her ideas and quality of skill are allowed to shine in these quiet visual moments.” Bryant plans to continue to explore media and different ways to create. “I do have advice for other artists though, an encouragement of sorts,” Quinn said. “Don’t let bad art pieces or projects that didn’t turn out the way you wanted stop you from creating. Art block is a thing and everyone needs to take breaks, but don’t give up, as ‘hallmark card’ as that sounds. Learn from your mistakes, pursue change and just keep creating.” To view and purchase Bryant’s art pieces, visit The Bosslight Bookstore, located at 123 E. Main St. in downtown Nacogdoches.

CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS

Texas Inmate Families Association observes third anniversary In 2011, Melba Tiller began mentoring a young woman incarcerated in the Nacogdoches County Jail. Because she had never been inside a jail nor knew anyone incarcerated, she began to search the web for information and found tifa.org. According to a TIFA brochure: “The letters stand for Texas Inmate Families Association. It is a statewide organization founded in 1996 as a result of a conversation between two brothers ... one in the free world and the other in prison. Stuart and Sheldon DeLuca discussed the fact that there were support groups for every disease, addiction, and situation in life, but there was no organization to help family members left behind when a loved one is incarcerated. From this idea TIFA was formed. The director of TDCJ was approached about TIFA being a liaison between families and TDCJ and he supported it. Since then, TIFA has been instrumental in improving the communication between families and TDCJ.” Tiller started planning to begin a chapter in Nacogdoches. The state TIFA office offered support, especially Sharon Bass, the regional coordinator. Melba and her husband visited the chapter in Tyler and Pam Willis, the Tyler chapter chair, became her mentor. Only three members were required to start and those were in place. A meeting site was secured in the Christian Life Center, First Baptist Church, Nacogdoches. Meetings were to be held the third Saturday of each month, and the first meeting was set for Aug. 15, 2015. Four members and six visitors were present. Membership was increased to 16 by 2016. Today membership totals 35. The name was changed to Nacogdoches/Lufkin TIFA Chapter because so many members are from Lufkin. We also have members from San Augustine, Gary, Carthage, Zavalla, Wells and many other East Texas towns. Chi Eta Phi Leadership Summit 2018 The 2018 Chi Eta Phi Sorority Inc. Leadership Summit, “Transforming Leaders to Financial Visionaries,” was held recently at the Dallas Marriott City Center.

He discussed how to construct an action plan for personal leadership development and communicate the vision of the organization. He concluded his presentation with a call to action to recognize your individual strengths and values to capitalize your role as both a leader and a follower. Gamma Chi Chi Chapter, in partnership with others, in an effort to raise the level of breast cancer awareness, will present its first “Fifty Shades of Pink” Gala at 6 p.m. Oct. 6 at the Pitser Garrison Convention Center. Tickets are $30 each and can be purchased from any member of the organization. GriefShare seminars Two GriefShare seminars will be held in Lufkin every Tuesday beginning Tuesday through Nov. 20. The seminars will be from 1-3 p.m. and 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Timber Creek Church, 2021 S. John Redditt Drive, in the back parking lot annex. No pre-registration is required. GriefShare is an international program that utilizes a support group setting to assist those who are grieving the death of a loved one. Each session, guided by a facilitator and co-facilitators, includes a video seminar and the opportunity to interact with others who have experienced similar losses. Karen Norton has facilitated GriefShare in Lufkin since 2009. The group is nondenominational, but does feature biblical teachings about grief and the recovery process. People of all different faiths attend and benefit from the program. A $20 registration fee covers the cost of the workbook needed for the 13-week seminar. People may join a GriefShare seminar at any point as each session is “self-contained.” For more information visit griefshare.org or contact Norton at Karen@ lufkin.org.

HINTS FROM HELOISE A bunch of banana facts Dear Readers: What do you know about the banana? Available year-round, bananas can be a healthy addition to your diet. The common supermarket banana has about 100 calories and 12 HINTS FROM HELOISE grams of sugar. High in fiber and low in fat, bananas are a good source of potassium, which can help the heart. Bananas can be a smart choice for athletes to help rebuild expended energy, and for dieters, because bananas taste sweet and promote a feeling of fullness. Bananas, with a good amount of tryptophan, can help with sleep problems and depression. They also have a high vitamin A count, so your eyesight can benefit too! “Check out” bananas at the grocery store today! — Heloise ——— The buzz on hummingbirds Dear Heloise: I feed hummingbirds year-round.

It’s so important to help our flying friends, and according to the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, your recipe for homemade nectar is a good one. Making extra and storing it in the fridge should not be a problem. — Heloise P.S. The hummingbirds need extra “fuel” this time of year to help them migrate and to get strong for breeding season. ——— Paperback ploy Dear Heloise: I love to read paperback books. I can buy used paperbacks for about 50 cents at the library or at a thrift store. After reading, I donate them to the libraries or thrift stores so they can be sold again. It’s an inexpensive way to enjoy reading. — Elizabeth in Minnesota Wonderful summer pastime, and a Heloise high-five for passing it on! — Heloise Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O.

SUNDAY PUZZLER

Toxic family casts doubt on couple’s future plans DEAR ABBY: I am in my late 20s and dating a man in his mid-30s whom I am crazy about. We have been dating for a year and are starting to discuss DEAR ABBY marriage and children. He’s kind, hard-working, gives back to the community, and does everything he can to make me happy. My problem is his family. His mother curses and yells at him every few months, usually around the holidays when he tells her he’s splitting his time between his family and mine.

She breaks him down any way she can, such as finding fault with me or bringing up mistakes he made 10 or 15 years ago. His sister tells him often that she doesn’t like me because of things she claims I said or did. She has also attacked me on social media. The rest of the family gets involved in the drama and even blackmailed him (insinuating they would get him fired) when he tried to ignore them. A week or so after these outbursts occur, his family pretends nothing happened. He admits his family has “issues,” but he still wants a relationship with them. I try to limit my time with them, but I’m worried about our future. He would make an amazing

SUNDAY CROSSWORD ANSWERS

husband, but I am unsure how — or if — I can get past his toxic family. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated. — HAPPILY EVER AFTER? DEAR HAPPILY: I can see why you would question a future with a man from a family that guilts, manipulates and lies to the degree that his does. Whether you can overcome the baggage he will carry after you leave the altar is debatable. It might help if the two of you discuss this not only with each other, but also with a clergyperson who can give you unbiased premarital counseling. If you do get married, consider moving farther away from his family to secure your independence. He may also have to find another job if he’s

under their thumb financially. DEAR ABBY: My teenage son came to us because he feels lonely and like no one cares. He says he knows his family is there for him and loves him, but he’s looking for that special girl. I talked to him and tried to let him know that right now he needs to focus on himself and where he wants to go with his life, and eventually he will meet someone. He has now told me that he has had thoughts of hurting himself and wants to talk with a counselor. We have made an appointment for him. My question is, is it a good sign that he is seeking help now before he has done anything? He hasn’t harmed himself in any way, doesn’t

use drugs, doesn’t drink or engage in risky behavior. I want to believe that since he is asking early, all will be OK. — VERY CONCERNED MOM IN ARIZONA DEAR MOM: It’s appropriate to believe that. Kudos to your son. The people you have to worry about are the ones who hide their sadness and pretend everything is OK when it really isn’t. I assume that you made an appointment for your son with a licensed mental health professional. When your son goes, encourage him to be as open with his therapist about his feelings as he can, so he can get the help he is asking for. Write Dear Abby at DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, California, 90069.

ASTROGRAPH If today is your birthday— Aim to please, but don’t go overboard trying to impress someone. Making personal changes and redefining what it is you want to accomplish should be your priorities. Listen to your heart as well as to the people you trust for guidance. It’s OK to take baby steps. Change doesn’t happen overnight. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Children, loved ones, family and close friends will have an impact on you. Spend time nurturing important relationships and making personal changes that will enhance your life. Romance is featured. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Short trips will lead to interesting changes and plans. The people you meet along the way will offer insight into new possibilities. Be receptive to suggestions and offers of assistance. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Refuse to let anyone make demands of you. Get involved in organizations or events that contribute to society. Getting together with old friends or colleagues will be eye-opening.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Big ideas should be toned down. Start small and look for unique alternatives. Taking a different path may not be appreciated by others, but if it satisfies your needs, you should proceed. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Emotional deception is present. Whether it’s you or someone else being dishonest, a reality check will be required to get back on track. Let intelligence and facts guide you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Change begins within. A new start will help you see things differently. The effort you put in will bring results that will not disappoint you. Follow your instincts. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Partnerships will undergo change. You are best off listening and observing without offering too much input. Once you decipher what’s happening, you will know how to best respond. Anger won’t solve anything. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Emotional manipulation is apparent. Consider what’s being

offered and the strings attached in order to get what you want. Renegotiation should be strongly considered. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Don’t let anyone limit what you can do. Someone in a superior position may try to bring about unwanted change. The choice to decline is yours. Do what’s best for you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Embrace change and visit a place you’ve never been before. Make new friends and learn more about different cultural backgrounds. The wisdom and knowledge you gain will be powerful assets moving forward. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — An energetic approach to what you want to do will help you overcome any challenge you face. Personal improvements can be made, and problems can be solved. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If you change the way you deal with others, you’ll gain respect. Offer suggestions, but don’t give in and do the work that someone else is responsible for. Develop a creative idea.

Spectacular purple flowers of the common pawpaw, Asimia triloba, appear before the leaves in the spring.

For generations elderberry has been used for a wide variety of medicinal purposes. soil moist until established and in hot dry weather. The common pawpaw, Asimia triloba, is a small tree or large shrub that will grow 10 to 40 feet tall. The leaves are large, thick and bright green and turn yellow in the fall. Purple flowers with six petals appear before the leaves in the spring. Blossoms are spectacular. Fruit forms later and is shaped like a small banana and ripens in late summer. Some people like the fruit, while others find it too sweet and strongly flavored. Possums and raccoons will take care of any fruit humans don’t eat. Pawpaws are the only host plant for zebra swallowtail butterflies. Zebra swallowtails have black and white stripes

with touches of red and blue. We saw zebra swallowtails darting in the sunshine when we visited the Big Thicket and they are beautiful to watch. If there are no pawpaws growing there are no zebra swallowtail butterflies. Pawpaws should be planted in well-drained soil that is kept consistently moist. They prefer shade as pawpaws are an understory tree. Greg Grant wrote in the book ‘’Heirloom Gardening in the South:’’ “It’s important to preserve bottomland hardwood forests and riparian zones in the zebra swallowtail’s range. If you don’t have that luxury, at least plant one or more in your garden.” Mexican Plum, Prunus Mexicana, is a small tree that will grow 15 to 35 feet in

Health care advocacy and the Golden Rule We’ve all seen them. They’re the ones standing at the same stoplight day after day asking for money. Or the ones who rush to your car as you’re loading up groceries asking to clean your windows. You walk a little faster when you see them approaching; you may cringe as you MATT BAKER catch their aroma. They might be homeless or mentally ill or maybe they’re smarter than the lot of us put together. So the question is this: despite our political opinions, biases or positions on personal responsibility, do these people deserve to be treated any differently than you or me? When it comes to health care, I believe the answer is unequivocally no. This of course is not a one-size-fits-all philosophy — people are different and each case needs to be approached individually. So often, however, the disenfranchised are judged on the whole as not caring about their health care or as not serious about treating their condition. At the pharmacy I have witnessed indigent individuals seeking over-thecounter treatments for a hernia the size of basketball, herbal products to reduce extremely high blood pressure, topical medications to treat chronic fungal

infections, etc. Countless times I’ve been approached to help with treating boils, burns, injuries and lacerations because the individual could not afford proper medical care. Now in all but a few of these cases, I would suggest that these people, although poor or somewhat mentally handicapped, cared a great deal about their health and wanted to treat their condition. We know that services like Medicaid exist to help the uninsured receive health care. Angelina County even provides indigent care to those needing health care who meet certain criteria. I believe what’s missing is not another program or universal health care or any other political approach that I am not smart enough to address. What’s needed is advocacy for the marginalized on the part of you and me. Advocacy for those unable to advocate for themselves is necessary but admittedly tough. It’s time-consuming, dirty, sometimes-fruitless work than can frustrate even the most compassionate among us to the core. Advocacy in health care means stepping up to the plate for individuals who are having issues making a doctor’s appointment, understanding what’s being communicated at the appointment, arranging transportation to the doctor or pharmacy or sorting out their medica-

tions after surgery or a hospital stay. They might not be able to change simple dressings on wounds, take blood sugar readings with a blood glucose monitor or call their insurance provider to inquire about a coverage issue. These individuals may not be even be in poverty, but could be an elderly neighbor or family friend. Advocacy may mean physically driving someone to the doctor, letting them borrow your phone to make call to the pharmacy, encouraging them to seek treatment for a long-standing ailment. The truth is: you need absolutely no medical training to simply help someone in need. All that’s really necessary is a desire and willingness to help. That’s health care advocacy at its core. It’s tempting (and convenient) to outsource benevolence to those in the health care industry or those directly involved in the payment or delivery of health care goods and services, but truthfully, this is the responsibility of the community. In the end, advocacy comes down to the golden rule: help others the way you would want to be helped if you were in their shoes. If you’re looking for a way to get involved and make a difference in the community, dive in and advocate for someone. Matt Baker is a pharmacist with Brookshire Brothers Pharmacy in Lufkin.

SOCIAL SECURITY

Social Security when you are self-employed By VERLON CLIFTON For The Lufkin News Most people who pay into Social Security work for an employer. Their employer deducts Social Security taxes from their paycheck, matches that contribution, sends taxes to the Internal Revenue Service, and reports wages to Social Security. However, self-employed people must report their earnings and pay their Social Security taxes directly to the IRS. These taxes will help determine your eligibility for benefits later. You’re self-employed if you operate a

trade, business or profession, either by yourself or as a partner. You report your earnings for Social Security purposes when you file your federal income tax return. If your net earnings are $400 or more in a year, you must report your earnings on Schedule SE, in addition to the other tax forms you must file. Net earnings for Social Security are your gross earnings from your trade or business, minus your allowable business deductions and depreciation. Some income doesn’t count for Social Security and shouldn’t be included in figuring your net earnings. You can read more about self-employ-

ment, paying your Social Security taxes and figuring and reporting your net earnings at socialsecurity.gov/pubs/EN05-10022.pdf. Social Security has been a cornerstone of American security for over 80 years. As a self-employed person, your small business is another cornerstone in the foundation of our economy. Working together, we make this nation stronger. We’re here for you, securing today and tomorrow. Remember, the most convenient way to contact us anytime, anywhere is to visit socialsecurity.gov. Verlon Clifton is the operations supervisor for the Social Security Administration in Lufkin.

How to stay secure when all your devices rely on the Internet By CATHY CUNNINGHAM Pioneer Press

Everybody: Security and Survival Hackers took down Twitter,

Netflix, Reddit, CNN and many other websites around the world for almost an entire day, both Schneier and Green said. What was the innocuous conduit for accomplishing this majorly disruptive feat? Webcams, DVRs and home internet routers with weak passwords and poorly written software — much like the ones you and I have in our homes today. The problem, Schneier said, is that, “You have no way of knowing if your device is affected by this (or any other) botnet and you kind of don’t care. And there is no way to patch it. It will be a member of that botnet until you throw it away, which could be a decade from now.” He added, “Once computers start affecting the world in a direct and physical manner, there are real risks to life and property. And the market won’t resolve this.” Think disabled cars, purposely interrupted pacemakers and the shutdown of electrical grids. There are only two ways to fix the problem. Customers must demand it, which, Schneier asserts, won’t happen because customers don’t really know what’s going on. Govern-

ments also should pass laws ensuring that device manufacturers build and update their products to reduce software vulnerabilities, he said. So, why is it that everything seemingly is moving toward becoming a part of the Internet of Things? Because it’s cheaper to make appliances and other devices with smart technology than not, Schneier said. What can consumers do to protect against a hack? Green’s advice for consumers includes: ■ If you are buying something on Amazon from an overseas company you’ve never heard of, there’s a good chance there is some sort of security vulnerability you should be worried about. ■ If you connect a device to your Wi-Fi network, you should assume the device is a risk to the security of everything else on the network. ■ You should look into whether a device has a software update mechanism and if it does, you should look at whether the software updates automatically or manually. ■ If you don’t need Internet-ofThings functionality and there is another option, take it. Schneier’s guidance? “Demand that the government regulate this,” he said.

Lighting a room seems simple: Plug in a lamp or flip a switch. Not so fast. “Nothing enhances a space more than a thoughtful lighting plan,” says interior designer Michael Wood of New York City. Many buildings in the city don’t allow channeling into the ceiling to add lighting, so as a workaround, he often uses sconces. “The right sconce at the right location, inside or out, can act as much as a statement or art object as a light fixture,” he says. “There’s an opportunity to personalize and add richness to a space.” There are practical considerations, as well. “Sconces free up space on night tables, or reduce clutter in a room with too many floor lamps,” says Wood. “For smaller spaces in particular, the less on the floor the better.” Donna Garlough, style director for Joss & Main, has noticed growing interest in sconces in the past few years. “It’s not that they’re new, but spaces featuring sconces have become extra-popular on Pinterest and Instagram lately, where a lot of DIY decorators get their ideas,” she says. “Lighting manufacturers have responded with stylish options for every budget.” The right sconce can create a welcoming glow, and accentuate furniture and architecture, Garlough says. “Used to frame furnishings like beds and sofas, sconces can give your room a high-end, custom feel, and they make furniture look like it really belongs in the space,” she says. Popular locations for sconces include the master bedroom, where they create a hotel-chic vibe, next to bathroom mirrors, around kitchen cabinetry or in hallways. Outdoors, a sconce provides great mood lighting on a wall or fence. Wood likes sconces with an articulating arm. “It frees the light from a single illumination point, in a similar fashion to a task lamp,” he says. There are also versions that reach some distance from the wall, illuminating corners that other lighting can’t. “Brass and oiled bronze sconces are especially popular, as are midcentury-style globe sconces,” says Garlough. At Joss & Main, the Gulvason articulating sconce comes in several metallic finishes, including brass and polished nickel; it can be installed or plugged in, which is handy if you aren’t able to hardwire anything. The Sabinal perches a little black shade on a resin post shaped liked a tree branch, clad in gold metallic for a mix of rusticity and elegance. And, available in both a swing-arm and fixed arm version, the Bautista’s round opal glass shade casts a warm glow. Wood praises Los Angeles designer Brendan Ravenhill’s new ADA sconce, which debuted during design week this spring at the ICFF in New York. “I was impressed with the flexibility — it can mount vertically or horizontally — and the finish and size options,” he says. “It would work with contemporary, industrial or classic decor.” At Pottery Barn, the Adeline sconce brings sparkle to a space with a faceted crystalline glass shade. Translucent milk glass and a riveted bronze, nickel or brass frame give the PB Classic sconce retro charm. And for a sophisticated bathroom, consider the Sussex tube sconce, with a frosted glass shade mounted on a polished nickel base with Art Deco-era elan. Finally, from West Elm, there’s a lovely adjustable sconce that plugs in. It comes in both long- and shortarmed versions.

College football season kicks off in baffling fashion

It’s the day football fans have been waiting on since Alabama walked off the field with a thrilling national championship victory over conference rival Georgia in January. College football is back! Well. Sort of. With near triple-digit temperatures still hanging around in late August, it doesn’t necessarily feel like college football season. JOSH HAVARD And when fans get a look at Saturday’s limited slate of action, most of them won’t necessarily be getting warm and tingly feelings in their stomachs. I like college football more than the average fan, but it sure is a tough sale to the wife that I’m going to sit around the TV and wait for the twists and turns of the big game between Duquesne and UMass. I’ve been a part of the home Rice radio broadcast over the last few years, and even I have a tough time getting too worked up about their home opener against Prairie View A&M, which is on ESPN3 by the way. The nationally televised games aren’t just a whole lot better. Hawaii makes the long flight to Colorado State in a game that will be on CBS Sports at 6:30 p.m. Wyoming opens the post-Josh Allen era with a visit to New Mexico State in a game that will be televised on ESPN2 at 9 p.m. Still not sold? It could be worse. There is always preseason NFL football. On second thought, I’ll stick with Rice/Prairie View A&M. The first full slate of college football is set for the following week. Here is a look at what else is going on in the sports world as we get through the last bit of the dog days of summer. Junior League baseball: World championship game, 11 a.m. today, ESPN2:

Lufkin spent the week going after a Junior League title a year after bringing home the U.S. championship at the Little League World Series. The championship of the Junior League World Series from Taylor, Michigan, will be shown to a nationally televised audience this morning. Pro golf: Wyndham Championship, 2 p.m. today, CBS: It will be hard to live up to last week’s PGA championship in which Tiger Woods challenged to end his major drought before Brooks Koepka held on for the win, but this will be a good lead-in to next month’s Ryder Cup. Pro baseball: Toronto at New York, noon today, TBS: The Yankees aren’t quite out of the AL East race yet. They’ll look to continue to feast on the bottom of the division in today’s afternoon matchup. Pro football: Baltimore at Indianapolis, 7 p.m. Monday, ESPN: It’s a little bit of a stretch to say Monday Night Football is officially back, but this game will serve as somewhat of a teaser for the upcoming season. Indianapolis is still anxious to see if Andrew Luck is over last season’s shoulder injury, which forced him to miss the entire year. Pro baseball: St. Louis at Los L.A. Dodgers, 9 p.m. Tuesday, ESPN: Two teams fighting for their playoff lives square off in Los Angeles early this week. Following a hot stretch, the defending National League champions have come down to earth, while the Cardinals have used a flurry to put themselves back in the playoff conversation. Little League baseball: U.S. championship game, Saturday 2 p.m., ABC: It might not be quite as exciting to local fans without the Thundering 13 on display this time around, but there are sure to be plenty of highlights from the local squad’s U.S. title one year ago. Pro baseball: Atlanta at Florida, Saturday 6:10 p.m., FS1 — The youthful Braves simply refuse to go away in the National League East chase. They’ll look to continue
