By Linda GollerYou are invited to the 2nd

Annual Texas Treasures Herit-age Festival on Saturday, May 7 from 9-5. This year’s festival will prove to be chocked full of glimpses of San Augustine in earlier times.

If you have never seen a quilt that is 150 years old, you will at the Heritage Quilt Festival. Who ever heard of machine quilted quilts that long ago! Along with the very oldest is a display of quilts of old, loaned from citizens all around this area. What an adventure to have as you wander through and imagine your great-grandmother sitting in her rocker with that tiny thim-ble, needle, and thread for hours upon hours. Oh, the memories.

In addition, plan to come and be assisted to further your knowledge of your ancestry. On site you can research your ances-try. How about that? These two activities will be housed in the Mathews Building and in front of it. Do not miss this!

Another first for the festi-val is the San Augustine City Cemetery tour. Two tours are planned which will be walking tours from the Texas Bank and Trust to the cemetery which

The City of San Augustine Main Street Program will be hosting an “ART: Texas Herit-age Style” Exhibit housed in-side the Courthouse during the 2nd Annual “A Texas Treasure Heritage Festival”, Saturday, May 7, 2016, on the historic Courthouse Square, downtown San Augustine. The Exhibit’s overall theme includes Western, Native American, historical, focus on Texas and East Texas in particular and is open to mixed media works (painting, photography, sculpture, pottery, jewelry, etc.). These original works of the artists will “paint a picture” of Texas history and culture and may be available for purchase at the discretion of the

San Augustine native, Hunter Haley, was recently named the National Player of the Week by Collegiate Baseball News. Ha-ley is a senior left fielder for the University of Oklahoma.

Hunter is the son of Rich-ard and Kathie Haley of San Augustine; and the grandson of Dr. Curtis and Mary Jean Haley of San Augustine and Corine Chumley and the late Earl Chumley of San Augustine.

Hunter was named a Louis-ville Player National Player of the Week by Collegiate Baseball News for powering the Okla-homa Sooner lineup with a Big 12-leading three home runs in a 3-1 week at home.

Haley hit .429 (6-for-14) and slugged an impressive 1.071. To go with his three home runs, he added eight RBI and three walks for a .500 on-base percentage. Haley posted three multi-RBI games and two two-hit games. He drove in two on a two-out base hit in the first inning against

Dallas Baptist on Tuesday night. In the series opener against Baylor, Haley cracked a two-run home run. He followed with a 2-for-3 performance on Saturday before capping off the weekend with a 2-for-4, two-home run, four-RBI game on Sunday. It marked the second two-home run game of his career and the first for Oklahoma since Carpen-ter did so against Utah (2/22/15) ahead of his National Player of the Week nod.

On the season, Haley has gone yard four times with 19 RBI. In his career, he has 16 home runs and 94 RBI.

Oklahoma has had three play-ers named National Player of the Week by CBN during the last three seasons. Haley joins former teammates Kolbey Car-penter (2/23/15) and Mac James (3/10/14) in receiving this pres-tigious award. Haley’s honor marks the first weekly award for the Sooners in 2016.

or related matters. After the first executive session, which began at 5:21 p.m. and ended at 6:08 p.m., city officials said they had considered sev-eral different options to supply wholesale power for the City of San Augustine. These options were presented to the council in executive session because it fell under a “competitive mat-ters” heading which allows the City to keep negotiations with different suppliers confidential. As the council went back into open session, representatives from Integrated Power Systems arrived at the meeting. IPS rep-resentatives spoke to the council for about 30 minutes about their offer to provide the City of San Augustine with solar power that could provide some, but not all, of the City’s power needs. The council then decided to go back into executive session to discuss the matter with IPS further. Upon returning from executive session the second time, the council unanimously voted to authorize Mayor Leroy Hughes to sign a wholesale power agree-ment with the Deep East Texas Electric Co-Op.

In other business, the council approved a Task Order between the City of San Augustine and KSA engineering for a prelimi-nary engineering report for the City’s wastewater treatment plant. Under the agreement, KSA will recommend improve-ments, modifications and/or expansion of the existing waste-water treatment plant that will keep the plant in compliance with TCEQ regulations in the future.

The council also approved a Multiple Use Agreement be-tween the City of San Augustine and Texas Department of Trans-portation which was a necessary agreement to move forward with the Main Street Sidewalk Improvement project that is cur-rently in the design phase.

City Manager Randy White-man updated the council on the progress of the transfer of Mission Dolores to the Texas Historical Commission. White-man said the transfer of the Mission Dolores property was going slower than he anticipated because the City didn’t have a complete survey of the property which was needed to finalize the deal. He said the survey problem was being addressed.

The council approved a proc-lamation designating May as National Preservation Month. Mayor Leroy Hughes reminded everyone that historic preser-vation is an effective tool for managing growth and sustain-able development, revitalizing neighborhoods, fostering local pride and maintaining commu-nity character while enhancing livability. “It is important to celebrate the role of history in our lives and the contributions made by dedicated individuals in helping to preserve the tangible aspects of the heritage that has

Chamber of Commerce met for its monthly membership meeting at 12:00 noon on Tuesday, April 19, 2016. Chamber President Waldo Dalchau welcomed new members to the chamber which included B&S A/C Heating (Scott Smith), The Fat Cow (Magda Santyo), Farmer’s Cove and RV Park (Roger Martin), and Long Pines Baptist Church (Pastor Jason Perry).

The guest speaker for this month was Carlos Guzman speaking about his “Flight to Freedom”. Mr. Guzman owns four businesses in Zavalla, Tex-as, Blueberry Bogg, a car wash, a marketing business, and two cabins for rent on highway 147. During his childhood Carlos’s mother and father fled Cuba with him and his brother. Carlos’s father along with 2 other men

hijacked a boat to flee to safety, after being stranded for 26 hours on a sand bar to be rescued by a British Ocean Liner they finally made it to Beaumont, Texas. While in Cuba Mr. Guzman’s father worked at Coca-Cola In-dustries, once they arrived here jobs were limited with him not being able to speak English. He finally found a job in downtown Beaumont making burlap sacks for $1.25/hr, but with hard work and determination and help from Baptist Churches in the com-munity and the Red Cross, Car-los’s father put his five children through college. Carlos Guzman said his main message for people was for them to remember that anyone can be whatever they wish to be. His parents came to America with $5.00 in their pockets and became successful through hard work, determina-tion and the opportunity that they

did not have access to in Cuba.County Judge Samye Johnson

gave an update on the county. She stated that on April 20th FEMA and State representatives were coming to assess road and flood damage from the rains in March. She also stated that after this issue is addressed they will then address the new rain damage issues. Judge Johnson warned everyone about the Zika virus which is carried by mos-quitoes. She said there could be an increase of mosquitoes due to all the recent rain in San Au-gustine County and gave helpful tips from the Center for Disease Control about how to avoid being bitten; such as draining all stand-ing water, wear long sleeves and pants, and to apply bug spray.

Johnson also briefly went over the last Commissioners Court which included a balloon release that honored the 151 children killed by abuse and neglect last year in Texas.

Bub Johnson, San Augustine I.S.D. School Board Member, mentioned to everyone that the San Augustine High School Student Council will be having a chicken spaghetti supper fun-draiser on Thursday, April 21st. This is the main fundraiser for the Student Council; the funds raised on Thursday will help fund the Student Council’s trip to the State Convention.

Tracy Cox, Main Street Man-ager, gave updates from San Augustine Main Street. May 7th will be the 2nd Annual Texas Heritage Festival; festivities will begin at 9:00 a.m. and continue to 5:00 p.m., there will be food, fun, entertainment and every-thing in between. This year will be the first Historic Cemetery Tour organized by Mrs. Betty Oglessbee. The tour will begin at the bank and go to the City Cemetery. Stephen F. Austin students have volunteered to come dressed in period clothing for the tour. There will also be a quilt exhibit this year at J.P. Mathews Building, located on the north side of the square. Sale on the Trail is going to be on May 6-7, stretching from Crockett, Texas to Natchitoches, Louisiana.

It was also announced that the last Get Fit Meeting will be held on May 3rd, participants have been asked to weigh-in no later than May 2nd.

Rod Litton discussed new welcome signs that have been approved by TxDOT. There will be 5 historic signs placed around San Augustine on Highway 96 north and south, east and west on Highway 21 and on Highway 147 from Lufkin. The board hopes to use highway right-of-way instead of private land to place the signs, guidelines have been given by TxDOT. What wording/or inscription to put under the signs is still up for discussion. Projected time line until the signs are up is 4 to 6 weeks if not sooner.

San Augustine author, Valerie Kimes, has recently penned her newest book, “So You Want to live in the Country Do You?: My letters to Dallas.” This is the 5th book she has written since moving to San Augustine a few years ago. Her new book is published by Tate publishing and Enterprises and it is available through bookstores nationwide, from the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, or by visiting barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com.

it took a move to historic San Augustine, Texas, to awake the writer in author Kimes. Kimes, who is a widow from Southern California, married louis 16 years ago. Their blended fam-ily includes five daughters, a son, and 12 grandchildren. Six years ago, Kimes and louis moved to the piney woods of East Texas on an 88-acre ranch located northeast of San Augus-tine. That menagerie plus all the wild animals found on their ranch provided the inspiration for numerous stories she shared with grandchildren and young nieces and nephews, who all pushed her to publish. She also worked as a preschool teacher for several years; this allowed her to be able to perfect her craft of storytelling.

“So You Want to live in the Country Do You?” recounts Kimes’ transformation from a city girl to a country girl. Born in los Angeles, California, the author was exposed to all of the modern conveniences of living in the city — the malls, grocery stores, movie theaters shopping and people. Readers will follow Kimes, the country newbie, as she meanders through a maze of new adventures and challenges: from the weather, the food and the country people with that strange southern twang.

This book is also a book of letters to Dallas Blair, Kimes’ friend in California, who was born in Fort Worth, Texas, whom she met at a party just before Kimes left California. Writing to Blair seemed like a good thing for Kimes, as she didn’t know very many people in Texas and she needed to talk to someone.

Take a journey with the author as she discovers a whole new world yet still stays connected to an old friend in “So You Want to live in the Country Do You?”

Kimes previous four books were children’s books. in her first book, “Treelove,” Cornelia is trapped during a tornado with no place to hide. She runs to her confidant and best friend — a pine tree called Treelove. As the storm rages on, she holds tightly to the tree’s trunk and closes her eyes in fear. Treelove does his best to protect his friend from harm.

Local Author’s New Book Released Tells Poignant, Funny Story of City Girl’s Life in the Country

However, when he feels his roots being pulled from the ground, he makes a decision out of desperation. When he can no longer hold on to her, he screams out for help. A tree can’t walk or call out for help — or can it? Will Treelove survive? What will hap-pen if his roots are pulled out of the ground? Read the book and find out how love conquers all.

Her second book, “peevee plunket t the Magnif icent Mouse”, is a story about a magical mouse who amazes his friends with his extraordi-nary powers. in the book, he befriends two young boys and learns the value of true friend-ship and of keeping promises.

Her third book “The Case of the Missing Valentines”, is a captivating children’s mystery. in “The Case of the Missing Valentines,” George’s commit-tee was busy collecting things to decorate the valentine cards. They collected ribbons, pho-tographs, jewelry and natural things such as nuts, crushed acorns, leaves and flowers. The valentines turned out just lovely. The committee worked really hard on the town’s valentines, and they were absolutely beau-tiful! George carefully put all of the finished valentines in a beautiful Victorian box.

The next day, George, Min, John, Candy and Cornelia ran into the workshop. They were so excited to take a peek at their wonderful valentines. But alas, the Victorian box is empty! Who took the valentines? What will the townspeople do now? Join George and the rest of the gang in solving the mystery in “The Case of the Missing Valentines.”

Kimes fourth book brings children to a barnyard race of getting yummy cookies in her new children’s book, “Jonathan picklenose”. in “Jonathan pick-lenose,” Bessie, the cow, was grazing in the pasture. She heard a shout from Daisy, the duck, and raised her head to listen. “Oh my, Jonathan picklenose is baking his famous chocolate chip cookies!” Tera lee, the chicken, stopped eating her grain to see what all the fuss was about. She could see the farm animals running across the barnyard. it was then she smelled the cook-ies. picklenose was at it again, baking his famous chocolate chip cookies! Although he was a mole, who is known to be almost blind, picklenose has no prob-lem in baking delicious cookies.

lee had to get there as fast as she could. She gathered her young chicks and ran toward picklenose’s home as fast as her little legs would go, her children following behind her. Read this book and tag along on their journey of getting the best cookies ever.

Vintage Quilt Exhibit at The Heritage Festival

The City of San Augustine is gearing up for the Second An-nual “A Texas Treasure Heritage Festival”. It will be held on Saturday, May 7th from 9:00 a.m. – until 5:00 p.m. in the town’s designated Main Street District.

The restored J. P. Mathews building located at 108 W. Co-lumbia will be the site of the Quilt Exhibit featuring over 40 hand pieced, hand quilted quilts owned or quilted by San Augustine families. Many of these heirloom works of art are over 100 years old, and all of these timeless treasured quilts tell a story as many of the quilt’s pieces are recycled fabrics from another life. Many of the quilt owners will be at the exhibit to tell their quilt’s story.

Quilters will be demonstrat-ing and teaching the skills and techniques required constructing a quilt from scraps, to pieces, to blocks, to tops, to liner, to fin-ished quilt! Visitors are invited to test their own quilting skills.

Other pieces of intricate nee-dlework and hours of stitches of love will be displayed for visi-tors to appreciate the beauty of handwork that our ancestors cre-

ated. Vintage aprons, bonnets, children’s clothing and linens will be displayed show casing the art of tatting, embroidery and crochet.

The exciting part of this event is seeing what can be done with a little know-how and a lot of tedious work.

Please call Connie Owens 832.390-9705 or Janice Moore 936.675-1072 if you would like to participate in the exhibit.

The Montgomery Family will be hosting a family reunion on Saturday, May 28th from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. The re-

union will be held at the San Augustine County Chamber of Commerce or Log Cabin which is located at 611 West Columbia, San Augustine Texas 75972. Veronica McCoy Arrington is the President and can be reached at 214-731-6824 for more infor-mation.

Monday Last Day to Register To Vote for Run-Off Election

Main Street is excited to have an oral history kiosk. The kiosk is a mobile unit. It will be set up in the San Augustine County Courthouse, County Courtroom the day of the Heritage Festival, Saturday May 7.

We expect this project to have a major impact on the continued preservation of the rich history of the area. The mission of a Main Street city is to promote historic preservation, economic development, and revitalization of the downtown. The Oral History Kiosk project fits right

Oral History Kiosk Project Debut at Heritage Festival

into that criterion. While pre-serving a slice of history the oral history kiosk will invite people and their families to downtown San Augustine. These people will eat, shop, and visit while downtown! Our vision is to not only offer the kiosk service to the public on a daily basis but also at special events like the heritage festival. The purpose of the equipment is to provide the means for people to record stories and family histories. It will also give people the chance to scan historical pictures and documents. Once the material is scanned it can be transcribed

and made public by Stephen F. Austin State University in the Regional Heritage Research Division.

Very valuable to any program are the partnerships created through such a project. This project is made possible through the generosity of space and inter-net connections provided by San Augustine County.

We are honored to have SFASU as a partner in this project as well. Over the past months, Dr. Jerry Williams, Center for Regional Heritage Research Di-vision, Stephen F. Austin State University, has been working to program the computer and will be training staff on how to use it. The department has pro-vided free set-up, installation, transcription, SFASU web-site attention, and documentation. Dr. Williams will be on site to assist those that might like to try the equipment out for the first time. Dr. George Avery has also agreed to volunteer the day of the heritage festival.

With the acquisition of a grant

from Anice Read Fund Commu-nities Foundation of Texas and the Texas Downtown Association the oral history kiosk dream became reality.

Rev. Amos Horton, Sr. Pastor, and the congregation of Reed Chapel Baptist Church would like to invite everyone to their Usher Annual on Sunday, April 24, 2016 at 3:00 p.m. Rev. Anthony Jackson and Mt. Dena Baptist Church will be the spe-cial guest this year.

With the potential for severe weather approaching this spring, Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar reminds Texans they can pur-chase certain supplies tax-free during the Emergency Prepara-tion Supplies Sales Tax Holiday, April 23-25. “The severe weath-er, fire and flooding we had last year provided a stark reminder that Texans should be prepared for any emergency,” Hegar said. “This tax holiday allows people to save money while ensuring they have the supplies they need if disaster strikes.” There’s no limit on the number of qualifying items you can purchase.

These include: batteries, fuel containers, and flashlights priced at less than $75; hurricane shutters and emergency ladders priced at less than $300; and portable generators priced at less than $3,000. Purchases that do not qualify include: batteries for automobiles, boats and other motorized vehicles; camping stoves and camping supplies; and chainsaws. A list of emergency preparation supplies that may be purchased tax-free can be found on the Comptroller’s website.

The Comptroller’s office es-timates shoppers will save $1.4 million in state and local sales taxes during the tax holiday. The sales tax holiday was approved by lawmakers during the 2015 Texas Legislature.

There will be an official unveil-ing and grave marker dedication held at Saturday. April 23, 2016, 11 a.m., at Mount Olive Cemetery. Two Confederate soldiers will be honored- William Henry Warr and James Brewster Ezell. They were brothers-in-law. William and wife Martha Frances “Fannie” Ezell Warr (James’ sister) came to Texas from Alabama in 1884, purchasing 160 acres from Noah S. Fountain in the Ironosa com-munity. Among their children: Josiah Wilkerson “Zeke” Warr, James Henry “Jim” Warr, William T. “Babe” Warr, Martha Frances “Sis” Warr Fountain, Jefferson Warr, Missouri Jane Warr Mc-Swain, Robert E. Lee Warr and Washington Warr. Their many descendants populate Texas and other areas of the South today.

Ceremonies are to be led by the Phillip A. Work camp #1790, and others, of the Sons of Con-federate Veterans; members of the Sam A. Willson chapter #2660 of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Sophia Sut-

tenfield Porter chapter #22 of the Order of Confederate Rose. (and Black Roses) (All aforementioned groups are non-racial, history- and genealogy-loving individuals who do not wish their grandparents or their achievements to be forgot-ten.) There will be a black powder rifle salute and volleys from the cannon. Family members will relate war record and biographi-cal information on these sons of the south, and photographs will be displayed. There will also be a Last Canteen ceremony and the laying of roses on the graves. Mount Olive is a small, lovely site where once stood a Predestinarian (commonly known as “hardshell”) Baptist Church. Location is on CR 246, two miles off 711 at the Shelby/San Augustine county line, about 14 miles from San Augus-tine. Just follow the signs. All descendants and interested parties are welcome to help us honor our brave ancestors.

Written by Debbie Walker, great-great-granddaughter of Wil-liam Henry and Fanny Warr.

Visit to the Library By Harry P. Noble

continued...

Last week I discussed the “Restoration Prin-ciple stated” from Jeremiah 6:16. There the prophet said: “Thus says Jehovah, Stand you in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and you shall find rest for your souls; but they said, We will not walk therein” (Jer. 6:16). This week I want to elaborate on what I will call the “Restoration Principle explained.”

When we make the Restoration Plea based upon this great principle we are not requesting that people go back in time in order to return to ancient customs or human traditions. It is not a plea for people to return to a particular culture that would pertain to one’s dress or mode of travel. Nor does this plea involve the origin of a new religion or denomination. There are thou-sands of human originated denominations in the world today. We are not interested in starting up another one. Neither is the Restoration Plea a discovery of any new revelation from God. The Father has already revealed his completed will. We possess it now in embodied form written upon the pages of the Bible. Finally, the Resto-ration Plea is not concerned with incidentals as to what language was spoken in the past, what kind of food was eaten, or what one did for an occupation. These matters really have nothing to do with asking people to return to the “old paths” of New Testament Christianity.

Rather, when Jeremiah pled for the people of his day to ask for the “old paths” wherein they would find “rest” for their souls he had in mind a restoration that was spiritual in nature. The restoration has to do with people returning to God and His divine will that they had formerly forsaken. The prophet wanted God’s people once again to embrace “my words” and “my law” they had formerly rejected. It was a plea for people to come back to God and his word in order to live in harmony with God’s expressed law concerning their daily lives of worship and devotion. Their soul’s salvation was contingent upon their restoring the religious beliefs and practices that God obligated them to observe. It is no different today. We make the “Restora-tion Plea” based upon this great “Restoration Principle” to encourage people to go back to the Bible and practice the Christian religion in harmony with the law of Christ. Our salvation depends on whether or not we will do so.

Truman screwed up his face and slapped the top of the steer-ing wheel as he growled, “Aaii-yyee…French GIs number ten!”

“This car was made in France, wasn’t it?” Lum asked, teasing Truman.

“Aaiiyyee…Never hoppen GI! Nipponese! Nipponese!

They entered another boul-evard and right off Lum said, “We need to be over there,” pointing to the lane of traffic going the other direction.

“Hokay! Hokay!” Truman said, laughing. He crossed the median and began driving into the oncoming traffic.” Now we have tocson wreck. Lum funny GI…ha…ha.”

Horns began to blow and head-lights blinked. Since Sweeny had a ringside seat up front, he had an open view of how close some of the near misses came. Even though Truman performed with unbelievable skill, the odds were overwhelmingly against him--yet he never stopped laughing. “That Lum a funny GI.” he mumbled as he yanked the car sharply to the left.

Sweeny saw it was too danger-ous and said, “Let’s get back on the other side Truman.”

“Aaiiyyee…Sergeant par-tee-poop,” Truman said, as he crossed back over to the proper lane.

Abner said, “Let’s go to the hotel. Hey, Truman, will this thing do fifty?”

Although the speedometer ap-peared to be broken, in seconds they could see trees, buildings and lampposts whizzing by. The engine began making sev-eral extra noises and the frame protested with an assortment of rattles.

“Hey Truman,” Sergeant Sweeny said, “you’re going to tear your car up—you’re shaking it apart.”

Truman laughed. “Car number one…we go fifty…maybe sixty…ha…ha. We cut a chogee.”

In a matter of minutes they pulled up in front of the Me-iji and slid to a stop. Truman jumped out and raced around opening all three doors. “Hey GIs…aaiiyyee…taxi ride number one…you hokay!”

They all chipped in and paid him twice what he asked. As he was driving off he shouted, “American GIs number one. Truman see GIs in funny paper…ha…ha…ha…ha…ha…ha!

******As they drove home, Hazel

said, “I’m glad you went to the library with me and picked your choice of reading material. “

Henry rushed the words out before he lost his nerve. “”Yes, that was nice. It would have been even nicer if we had checked out my choices.”

“They are your choices; I just helped you decide,” Hazel insisted. “A man can’t be too careful in the selection of his reading material.”

“And who selects it.” Henry added. He listened to the silence as he mentally counted to ten. Not a sound. He couldn’t believe it; he was going to get the last word!

Hazel loved dogs and Henry had been around them all his life. When she saw an advertise-ment on Internet announcing a two-day dog show, she started making plans. Scheduled for Saturday and Sunday it was to be held in the Convention Center. Since they have a small Papillion named Trooper, Hazel made ar-rangements to board him with a local lady the night they would be gone.

They arrived at the Conven-tion Center at 11:00 a.m., paid their admission fee, walked through the entrance door into the giant convention area and entered a world of a thousand dogs. The transition to “Dog-land” sent Hazel straight to El

Dorado and sent Henry down a shocked road of disbelief. Inside “Dogland” 1,500 dog owners, trainers, groomers, professional and amateur handlers, judges and photographers had gathered. Henry appeared to be the only sightseer there.

After lunch, the two returned to the convention center and watched the judging of thirty-four Papillion’s. The Saturday events closed with the Papillion performance. Henry drove over to the hotel where they had res-ervations. He showed the desk clerk his confirmation number. VISA made its appearance; they registered and then checked the room. Everything appeared okay. Not a sign of impending trouble. But with each tick of the clock, had they known for what to listen, they would have heard it coming.

They went to the car to bring in a few things, although they couldn’t have swelled, felt or see for the night and noticed quite a few people unloading baggage. Suddenly, Henry became aware they were wearing purple shirts with white writing on the front and back. He whispered to Hazel, “What’s with the purple shirts?” She shook her head she didn’t know.

When they re-entered the building, the hall and elevator were teeming with purple shirts. As they went down the hall to get ice, they encountered more purple shirts.

Returning from supper a pur-ple shirt intercepted them. He said, “The elevator’s broken. Follow me and I’ll show you the stairs.” On the second floor they

thanked him and shut their room for the night.

There was a lot of hall noise so Henry pulled his head down under a pillow and finally dozed off. A loud noise woke him. It was 1:30 a.m. and Hazel had the telephone talking to the re-ceptionist downstairs. Reporting the noise for the third time, she hadn’t slept a wink.

When she hung up she had progressed several stages beyond exasperation. “Henry, they are having some kind of family reunion. The purple shirts have taken over the entire second and third floors. The desk clerk downstairs says there’s nothing he can do about it. You go on back to sleep and I’ll go get an-other room on a different floor and finish out the night there. I need some sleep.”

Henry nixed the idea. “I don’t want to stay in this bedlam and you in some nice quiet room.”

“Okay, put your clothes on and let’s pack. We are both go-ing to move to the first or third floor.” Dressed and packed, they stepped out in the hall. The noise hadn’t abated. They made their way down to the front desk.

“Hey,” Hazel said, “We need another room on a different floor. We can’t sleep in 226.”

The young man fumbled with the keyboard of his computer. Finally, he said, “We don’t have any rooms—they are all full.”

Henry said, “You’ve got a large 3-story building here. You must have at least one room vacant?”

“No we don’t.”“What’s with these purple

shirts?” Hazel asked. “What’s going on here?”

“It’s a family reunion and they have the entire hotel.”

Hazel bounced up and down. The desk clerk, a polite, well-

mannered young man, didn’t have any idea how to help or solve the problem. “Will you call your manager?” Henry said.

“I can’t—she’s home asleep,” he answered.

“Lucky her--we know the feeling.” Hazel commented.

The conversation went back and forth until finally Hazel said, “Get on the phone and find us a room in another hotel!”

Henry could see the relief in the desk clerk’s eyes at that sug-gestion. He made a call and hung up. “The La Quinta Inn doesn’t have any rooms.”

“Another one,” Hazel said, pointing to the telephone.

He placed another call. “That was the Goright Inn and Suites across the Interstate. They have a room.”

“Okay,” Henry said. “We’re going there for the rest of the night. We’ll be back in the morning to settle this problem with the manager. We are not paying for two different rooms. What time will he be here in the morning?”

“She will be here by 7:00 a.m.”

“We’ll be back between 7:00 and 8:00 to straighten this out.”

At 2:30 a.m. they loaded their baggage in the car and began the move to the Goright. The room turned out to be

nice and they got to bed about 3:00 a.m. Henry closed his eyes.

is one long block. Stephen F. Austin Theater students and faculty will meet you dressed in period dress at the cemetery gate. You will lose yourself in history as historical figures and past prominent residents are de-scribed in biography. This part of the day will be a huge highlight of the festival. Come on back to reality and enjoy the Main Stage entertainment, have some food, and enjoy the rest of the festival.

Storytelling is a great part of what Texans do. They tell stories about themselves, about their children, and grandchildren, but sometimes we East Texans might tend to tell “tall” tales with just some little stretching here and there. We are looking for just a few to come to the Main Stage at the appropriate time (about 3 pm) and tell us some story about your childhood in San Augustine or elsewhere in East Texas. Main Street promises not to take you seriously, unless you want to be taken seriously. Your story just might be true right down to the minute detail.

This festival will fill you with memories if you are getting up in years. This festival will be just fun if you are here with your young children. This festival will fill some void no matter what age you are! This festival will also fill you up! The food will be outstanding.

The SAPD responded to 75 calls for service, assisted other agencies on 8 occasions and filed 4 auto accident reports. During March, SAPD officers issued 114 citations and 95 writ-ten warnings.

Hughes also gave a report on behalf of the Municipal Court which said that $3,498.30 in fines and court costs had been collected during the month of March.

HONEY BEE REMOVAL-Deep East Texas Beekeepers Association from San Augustine is seen safely and happily removing bees for relocation. Submitted by: Jill Vaughn

The warm spring temperatures motivate more than just people to start house hunting. When honey bees outgrow their home or it otherwise becomes unin-habitable, the queen will pack up her workers and move to a new location. March through June is the usual part of the year for honey bees to leave their old digs. Often times, this move is done in two stages. First, the colony will gather together in one mass, called a swarm, usually on the outside of their current home. Sometimes the swarm will move onto a tree limb if their current home is no longer safe. They will swarm on any surface that allows them to band together, encircling the queen and hanging like a man’s beard from any overhangs, porch

ceilings, or eaves. The swarm might stay like this for two or three days waiting on the scout bees to find new quarters. Once a suitable nesting site is located, the whole swarm moves in. The workers start building new comb for honey production, pollen stores, and a place for the queen to lay her eggs.

Swarms worry those either allergic or just fearful of bee stings but since these bees are not currently defending a home they rarely pose immediate danger. On the contrary, they give hobbyist and professional beekeepers an opportunity to add a new colony to their hives. A strong, healthy hive may produce 50 to 100 pounds of honey each year available for collection. Rather than kill these swarms, let

them move on if they are not in the way but if they are too close to walkways, houses, people or pets, contact a local beekeeper or beekeeping organization. It is estimated that more than one-third of our crop produc-tion is dependent on pollination from bees. Honey bees are not native to the US so technically we have feral colonies, not wild colonies. They are an important resource first brought here by early colonists when they dis-covered their European crops were not successful during the early years and it is still in our best interest to protect them

As we left, I asked the cash-ier if he was the owner. “Oh, no,” she replied. “He’s just the cook…his name is Jaime Mitchell…he’s my boyfriend.” “He’s pretty good”, I remarked. “Yeah”, she replied. “He don’t know how good he is….…he’s the ‘humblest’ man in the world.”

The Daughters of the Republic of Texas (DRT) will join area leaders and organizations in commemorating the 180th an-niversary of the Battle of San Jacinto on Thursday, April 21, 2016. The ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. on the south side of the San Jacinto Monument at the San Jacinto Battleground (3523 Independence Pkwy., La Porte, TX 77571).

The event will include de-livery of the San Jacinto Battle Report by Nancy Burch, the great-great-granddaughter of General Sam Houston; remarks from former member of the

DRT Join Commermrating Service for The Republic of Texas

San Jacinto Historical Advisory Board Nina Hendee; perform-ances by the Deer Park High School Orchestra and JROTC Color Guard; presentation of the DRT scholarship winners; an appearance by The Texas Army, the State of Texas Official 1836 Ceremonial and Reenactment Group; and much more.

The famous battle occurred 46 days after the fall of the Alamo in the late afternoon of April 21, 1836. During the battle a Texas army of 910 soldiers led by Gen-eral Sam Houston overwhelmed the forces of Mexican President and General Santa Anna. When the fighting had ended, more than 600 Mexican soldiers were killed and more than 700 would be captured, while nine Texans would lose their lives. After escaping the battle, Santa Anna would be captured the next day, and three weeks later would be forced to sign the peace treaty granting Texas its independence as a nation.

“The Battle of San Jacinto was the turning point in Texas’ quest for independence and is remem-bered as one of the most deci-sive battles of the world,” said Betty Edwards, M.D., President General of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas.

Edwards continued, “The battle gave birth to the Republic of Texas, and its story truly captures the spirit and pride the Lone Star State is recognized for around the world. We are honored to carry on the memory of the brave heroes who were part of this crucial event in our state’s history.”

In 1902 members of the DRT joined a group of dignitaries including legislators and a San Jacinto battle survivor in visit-ing the site to place temporary improvised monuments in a dozen locations where veterans

identified important events had occurred. The locations included the camp where Gen. Houston lay wounded under a tree on the bayou, the same spot where Santa Anna was delivered to him as a captive.

After years of encouragement by the Sons and Daughters of the Republic of Texas, proponents succeeded in raising funds for

the construction of the San Jacinto Monument which was completed in 1939. At 567 feet, the monument remains the tallest masonry column in the world. By comparison, the Washington Monument is 555 feet tall.

Acting on behalf of the Texas Veterans Association, in 1940 the Daughters of the Republic of Texas led an effort to place a

large bronze sundial on the bat-tlefield in memory of the nine Texans that lost their lives: Ben-jamin Rice Bringham, Lemuel Stockton Blakey, John C. Hale, George A. Lamb, Dr. William Junius Mottley, Mathias Cooper, Thomas Patton Fowie, Ashley R. Stephens and Olwyn J. Trask.

The 1986 film version of Norman’s play starred Academy Award-winning actresses Sissy Spacek and Ann Bancroft. The Broadway version ran for 380 performances and earned four Tony Awards.

AC student/actors Retha Pow-ers (as Thelma Cates) and Kesley Grimes (as Jessie Cates) will present the story of Jessie, a young woman who has decided life is far too complicated and hard to endure. Jessie informs her mother Thelma she intends to end her life. The ensuing dialogue and interaction between the determined Jessie and her helplessly disbelieving mother leads to a story NY Magazine called “…honest, uncompromis-ing, lucid, penetrating, well-written, dramatic, and…unma-nipulatively moving…”

The AC Production team includes Kary Raine, Director; Eric Walker, Assistant Director and Set Design; Chance Chunn, Stage Manager; Eric Manus, Assistant Stage Manager; Andy Reed, Lighting Design; Kesley Grimes, Costume/Makeup De-sign; Nicholos Trusclair, Sound Design and Board Operator; Chris Reeves, Props Master; Adrian Torres, Program Art-ist; Brenda Vallejo, Program Editor; and Amy Young, House Manager.

Tickets prices are $5 for adults and $4 for seniors, stu-dents, and children. For ticket information, contact the Temple Theater Box Office at 936-633-5454.

Optimizing a system-wide approach to hospital operations, CHI St. Luke’s Health Memo-rial announces two new system directors for hospital specialties.

The new System Director of Lab will be Edna Almirol, of Livingston, and the new System Director of Respiratory Therapy and Sleep Lab will be Robert Davis, of Lufkin. Their responsibilities cover the Lufkin, Livingston and San Augustine hospitals.

Ms. Almirol will replace Larry Hinsley, who recently an-nounced his retirement.

Ms. Almirol joined Memorial in 1998 to lead to the Livingston lab in preparation of its initial accreditation with the Joint Com-mission. Since then she has led the lab in three Joint Commis-sion surveys, as well as seven CAP Accreditation Surveys. Ms. Almirol was named the Director of Laboratory Services in Livingston in May 2008. She has experience in all aspects of Laboratory Services includ-ing Hematology, Blood Bank,

Mr. Davis has been with the Memorial system for a combined total of 11 ½ years. He has more than 12 years of leadership expe-rience, with 22 years as a Regis-tered Respiratory Therapist. Mr. Davis was the first Registered Polysomnographic Technician in the deep East Texas area in 1998 and was instrumental in develop-ing the Sleep Lab Lufkin in 1995 and the Livingston Sleep Lab in 2009. His most recent position was the Livingston Director of Respiratory and Sleep Lab.

“Edna and Robert are valued members of this team and have vast amounts of experience in leading and motivating our em-ployees,” said Shawn Barnett, CHI St. Luke’s Health Memo-rial Chief Operating Officer and Lufkin President. “We look for-ward to utilizing their individual talent and specialized skills to help us fulfill our mission of creating healthier communities throughout East Texas.”

Donations are needed for the 2016 Project Graduation Cel-ebration. Committee volunteers for San Augustine High School are in the planning process for “Project Graduation.” The pro-gram began in San Augustine in 1992, patterned after “Project Celebration,” a state-wide en-deavor to prevent deaths and injuries associated with driving under the influence, as well as to establish a tradition of chemical-free celebrations.

Each year, Project Graduation Celebration tries to ensure that each child that stays the entire night receives $100, as a means to ensure that seniors stay the entire night, resulting in less drug and alcohol use.

This program depends on donations from the community and fundraising events to make this night possible for graduating seniors.

For more information or to donate, contact Holli at (936) 275-8825 or Brandon at (936) 275-6276 or mail a check pay-able to the San Augustine Project Graduation to 1002 Barrett St., San Augustine, Texas 75972.

It’s that time of year again, and Broaddus High School is gearing up for Operation Gradu-ation on June 3, 2016. The class of 2016 is looking forward to both graduation and “Operation Graduation.” This is a special all night drug and alcohol free party. The graduates play games to win cash and prizes though out the night. This activity depends on contributions from businesses and individuals. The Broaddus High School Class of 2016 would appreciate any contributions to Operation Graduation. You may contact our principal, Brad Hranicky or any of the Senior Class Sponsors: Leigh Stewart, Tonillia Byley or Wes Little at (936) 872-3610.

CHAMBER MEMBERSHIP MEETING-An update was given Tuesday, April 19 at the San Augustine Chamber of Commerce Monthly Membership Meeting by County Judge Samye Johnson on the last Commissioners Court and the efforts to address the damage from rains in March. Tribune Photo

GUEST SPEAKER- Carlos Guzman, pictured with Chamber President Waldo Dalchau, was the guest speaker at San Augustine Chambers Monthly Membership Meeting. His speech was titled “Flight to Freedom”. Tribune Photo

Waldo Dalchau gave a review of the Chamber of Commerce sponsored rodeo that was held here last weekend. Both nights had approximately 800 to 900 people in attendance. The stock producer for the rodeo, Mr. Bergeon, was very pleased with the outcome and he expects it to be an even bigger and better event next year. Waldo extended a big thank you to the Freshman Directors for all their hard work on the rodeo.

The business of the Month for April was Texas Star Retail Store. One of the new services offered by the local business is a dry cleaning service. Clothes dropped off at Texas Star Retail are taken to TLC Cleaner in Jasper on Tuesdays and are avail-able for pick up the following Tuesday at Texas Star Retail. If the service does well, then it may become a Tuesday drop-off and a Thursday pick-up. Another new service offered by Texas Star Retail is piano lessons, any-one wanting lessons only needs to come in or call the store to schedule an appointment.

The last of the announcements was to mention that on July 30th the San Augustine Chamber of Commerce will be putting on their annual Civic Auction.

Door prize winners at this month’s Chamber meeting were Marcus Hafford from Trin-ity Nursing and Rehibilitation, Bub Johnson San Augustine I.S.D. school board member, and Donna Moss from Affinity Hospice.

“BRASS MONKEY BUSINESS”

BY: NEAL MURPHYI suspect that we are all

familiar with the colloquial expression concerning brass monkeys. Most of the sayings have to do with weather – cold weather. When and how did this idiom arise, and what do brass monkeys have to do with the weather? Research on this reveals interesting information.

During the 19th and 20th centuries, small monkeys cast from the alloy brass were very common tourist souvenirs from China and Japan. They usually, but not always, came in a set of three representing the Three Wise Monkeys. You may recall that these sets which showed monkeys covering their eyes, ears, and mouths represented “see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil”. Old brass mon-keys of this type are now collec-tor items.

Somewhere along the line the phrase “it’s cold enough to freeze the tail off a brass mon-key” became popular. People began to change the phrase to add additional body parts, such as the nose, ears, or testicles as an image of something solid and inert that could only be affected by extreme low temperatures.

Experts disagree, but the most common explanation of this phrase comes from ship captains during the very early days of sailing ships by the British navy at the time of the Napoleonic wars. Every ship had to have cannons for protection. The cannons of that day required round iron projectiles, or can-non balls. The captain wanted

to store the cannonballs so that they could be of instant use if at-tacked, but not be rolling around on the gun deck.

The solution was to stack the balls up in a square-based pyramid next to the cannon. The top level of the stack had but one ball, the next level had four, the next had nine, the next had sixteen, and so on. Four levels would provide a stack of thirty cannon balls. The only real problem was how to keep the bottom level from sliding out from under the weight of the higher levels.

To prevent this, engineers devised a small brass plate, named a “brass monkey”, with one rounded indentation for each cannonball in the bottom layer. Brass was used because the cannonballs would not rust to the brass monkey as it would an iron one.

An unexpected problem arose with the use of the brass monkey. When the temperature falls, brass contracts in size faster than iron. As it got colder on the gun decks, the indentations in the brass monkey would get smaller than the iron cannon-balls they were holding. If the temperature got cold enough, the bottom layer would pop out of the indentation, thus spilling the entire pyramid of balls over the ship’s deck. Thus, it was, quite literally, cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.

Though no one knows for sure where this phrase originated, it is widely believed that the refer-ence is almost certainly 16th to 18th century humor, just like it is used today to emphasize how cold it is.

Manning Sawmill Reunion Set for May 1st The annual sawmills reunion for the Manning Sawmill that was off of FM 844 in Ange-lina County is slated to be held next Sunday. It was 1903 that W. T. Carter and G. A. Kelley became partners in the Carter-Kelley Lumber Company and built their new mill near the site of Dr. W. W. Manning’s original

site. The town grew at its zenith to 1,000 residents in 1925. The mill burned in December 1935, after which by 1939 the popula-tion dropped to 1939. For more information call Yvonne Buford at 936.422-4433.

Belated birthdays Laura Lil-lian Belle Patten celebrated her 5th birthday on April 23rd. She is the daughter of Aaron

and Sara (Dixon) Patten and the granddaughter of the late Jana (Treadwell) and Dickie Dixon and the late Sheryl (George) and David Patten. She is the great-granddaughter of the late Gladys Kathleen (Hinson) and Hershel Dixon and the late Argie Nell (McCarty) and Bob Treadwell.

For Posterity’s Eyes Adarene (Moore) Grimes will celebrate her birthday on April 29th.

Setting the Record Straight In the index to Louis Wiltz Kemp’s The Signers of the Texas Declaration of Independence it lists an article on Stephen Wil-liam Blount of San Augustine Municipality as beginning on page fifteen, but, in actuality, it begins on page eighteen.

Queries Received From Bette Pena (This is a lengthy query and will be continued in next week’s column to complete it.) Hi, Dickie. I got your email address from a fellow ancestor researcher. I am working on two Naco searches right now. I will send them separate “cover” as I think they are both interesting as stand-alones and are not related (other than my husband and I connect the two). One—this one—would be of interest to Latino readers. My ancestor search is an “Anglo” line.

My husband, Richard A. Pena, is descended from the “Father of Nacogdoches,” Gil Ybarbo. However, we have a brick wall at his paternal Pena line which ends at Luis (Chireno) Pena b.1820 most likely Tamaulipas, Mx who died Naco in 1833—buried unknown but most certainly Naco. This is the subject line family of this message to you.

I am going to skip up a few gens and pass over the NM born descendants of Luis to my hus-band’s grandfather, Marshal Lee Pena, Sheriff of Taos, NM who was born in Naco County, TX in 1895. Lee was murdered while on duty and has a memorial on the Officer Down web site here: http://www.odmp.org/officer/10507-village-marshal-lee-pena

Lee’s father was Juan Pedro (aka John Peter) (Chireno) Pena

b. 1854 who married Maggie Luna. Juan Pedro was the son of Luis Pena who was adopted in childhood by Jose Encarnacion Chireno/Chirino. For most of his life Luis was known as Luis Chireno (or Chirino). But later he reverted to his birth surname. Luis married Maria Gregoria Y’barbo (so that’s the Gil Y’barbo connect). He is the ‘brick wall’ Naco ancestor who most surely has cousin Pena families in Naco today.

Roberts Cemetery is currently holding their annual fund drive.

The dues of $50.00 per year per family are now being ac-cepted. It is not the responsibil-ity of Roberts Baptist Church and the few families who pay to cover the whole financial load, so Roberts Cemetery commit-tee members are asking that all families pay their dues.

For more information contact Dennis Barnes at 936-275-5420 or send payment to PO Box 833, San Augustine, TX 75972.
