“The savings infinance charges over the17-year life of this proj-ect will be more than$1.8 million,” Colemansaid.

And the main issuefor many voters remainsin the fact that the maxi-mum addi-tional cost tothe existing school taxrate will be $0.01 until2022.

Coleman said a taxescalculator has been setup on the district’s web-site so that taxpayerscan see how much theirtaxes will increase withthe passage of this bondproposal.

“We do not beginpayments on QSCBfunds until 2022,”Coleman said. “Theschool rate will actuallydrop by 0.07 and anadditional .001 in 2023.”

Coleman added thattaxpayers who are 65and older and havecompleted their home-stead exemption formswould not see anincrease in their schooltax rate.

Presently, the districtis looking to use the$6.205 million at JasperJunior High Schoolclassrooms, band hall,gym and drop off areas.If any additional fundsare left over, the districtwill look at coveredwalkways at FewPrimary, Jasper HighSchool kitchen expan-sion and an exhaust sys-tem at JHS’s CarlMorgan Career Center.

Three council seatswill need to be filled inthe Jasper City Councilelection.

Tommy Adams hasreached his term limit,leaving District 3obtainable. For District3, Doris David Hensonand Hazel Johnson willbe on the ballot.However, Henson willremain ineligible due toa previous felony con-

viction.Willie Lee Land was

recalled in November of2011 from the District 4seat.

Land will be seekingthe position, as well asRaymond Hopson.

Terrya Norsworthywas also recalled by vot-ers from the District 5seat.

Norsworthy andMitch Mcmillon will beon the ballot for District5.

District 3 has comeavailable after currentcouncilman TommyAdams has reached histerm limits.

Two names willappear on the ballot,Doris David Hensonand Hazel Johnson.Henson’s name appearson the ballot but sheremains ineligible toserve on councilbecause of a felony con-viction.

Johnson, 66, has livedin Jasper for 35 years.

“My heart has beenheavy for our city overthis lat year as I watchedand listened to a citycouncil that quickly dis-assembled an image Iheld so closely to heartand had crowned ourcity with the name ‘TheJewel of the Forest,’”Johnson said. “Insteadof being concerned citi-zens, we have steppedback and let others tryto solve the problemsand influence what wethink and feel about cer-tain issues our city hadto address.”

Voters will still havethe choice and ifHenson gains a highernumber of votes, thencouncil will be forced toappoint someone to thepost.

The race for District4, which was left vacantwhen former city coun-cilman Willie Lee Landwas recalled inNovember of last year,pits two contestants.

Raymond Hopsonand Land are seekingthe position. As stated,Land was the previousDistrict 4 council mem-ber but was recalled byvoters of his district inNovember by a vote of264-181.

Hopson is a retiredDPS trooper who isseeking his first term inoffice.

“I am a citizens andnot a politician and ifelected I will be thevoice we deserve andthe change we need,”Hopson said.

District 5 – at largehas also been vacantsince the Novemberrecall of TerryaNorsworthy by votersof the entire city.

Two candidates havefiled for the seat includ-ing Norsworthy andMitch McMillon.

Norsworthy had heldthe seat until she wasrecalled by Jasper votersin November by a coun-ty of 946-808.

Four propositionswill be listed on the bal-lot, the first being theattempted recall ofJasper Mayor MikeLout. Voting “yes” willremove Lout fromoffice. Voting “no” willkeep Lout in office.

The additional threepropositions come fromthe Jasper EconomicD e v e l o p m e n tCorporation. “Do youwant existing Type ASales tax money to spenton Tourism Efforts? Doyou want existing Type

MITCH MCMILLONCandidate for

Jasper City Council-at-Large

Very soon now, you’ll have another chance to participate in ourAmerican experiment. Our founding fathers realized that if ourrepublic were to survive, it would be dependent upon the citizenrymaking informed....moral choices at the polls.In few political races are the choices as different, as they are in

this city council election. You can vote to re-elect the council wehad previously, thereby voting to continue business as usual...Or with Your Vote you can Point Jasper in a new direction.With your support Jasper can look forward to a bright future,

help me to make that happen. I’m Mitch McMillon, candidate forJasper City Council, and I would appreciate your vote!

Business growth andjob opportunities....these are the enginesthat drive prosperity!

Early voting startsApril 30th at City Hall

My name is Mitch McMillon, Candidate for Jasper City Council-At-Large. I paid for and approved this ad.

During the Battle of Britain, in the summer of 1940, England faced its darkesthours. Under constant bombardment and the threat of annihilation from the Naziwar machine, one man rallied a nation. He did so by reminding them of what theyalready knew about themselves.He said “courage… is the �rst of human qualities, because it is the quality

which guarantees all others!” and “without courage all other virtues lose theirmeaning.” He went on to say..” the price of greatness… is responsibility!”. Whileour problems here in Jasper are insigni�cant to those of Great Britain during thattime, it’s worth noting what Winston Churchill had to say to inspire his people.As we near another election and another opportunity to voice our opinion,

remember that there are no problems too great to solve if we are truthful andcourageous. In this city election, there are two paths from which to choose. Onetakes us back to the politics of racial division and cronyism, and one leads Jasperin a new direction toward healing and responsible government. Please help melead Jasper in that new direction. With your vote, you can help to make Jasper agreat place to live, once again.

Exercise your responsibility… vote TODAY!I would be honored and privileged to serve as your at-large councilman, and

I would greatly appreciate your vote.

Lynch moved toNashville in 2003 topursue a career incountry music and tocomplete a universitydegree.

Lynch is a nativeof Tullahoma, Tenn.,whose musical influ-ences include AlanJackson, Garth Brooksand Clint Black. Lynchmoved to Nashville forcollege and to be closerto the country musicindustry.

He rented an apart-ment behind the city’sfamous club, TheBluebird Café, to learnabout the craft of song-

writing. “Shhh!” says the

note on the BluebirdCafé’s Facebook pagesays it all: customerswho visit the Nashvillesongwriters club –instrumental in thedevelopment of GarthBrooks, Faith Hill andKathy Mattea – areexpected to keep quiet

and listen to the wordsfrom some of MusicCity’s most influentialcomposers.

Listening has anadded benefit – it givesthe listener a chance tolearn.

The Jasper Lions Club Rodeohas always held on to the tradi-tion of a major country per-former for its Friday showcaseand this year will be no excep-tion.

Taking the stage on Friday,May 11 will be country singerand songwriter Lee Brice, who isright now on the top of thecharts with numerous songs andhis big hit “A Woman Like You.”

Brice walks a path betweentraditional honky tonk soundsand contemporary rock & roll;as Brice puts it, his music soundslike what would happen if HankWilliams, Jr. and John Mayerhad a love child.

Brice was born in smallSumter, S.C., where he wasraised on the gospel songs hisfamily would sing in church. Atthe age of seven, Brice beganlearning the piano, and at ten hestarted writing his own songs,soaking up the influences of hisfather’s country LPs byAlabama and the Oak RidgeBoys.

It wasn’t until Brice enrolledin high school (where he wonthe school talent contest threeyears in a row) that he wasexposed to rock & roll, and hebegan developing a taste for abroader variety of music; he alsofound a role model in chart-top-ping Nashville star GarthBrooks.

Brice had a talent for football,and he attended ClemsonUniversity on a gridiron scholar-ship, but when an arm injuryspoiled his ability to passthe ball, Brice decided thatmusic rather than civilengineering was where histrue passion lay, and hemoved to Nashville on theadvice of Doug Johnson,who would sign Brice to apublishing contract whenhe became an A&R man atCurb Records.

Some of Brice’s songswere recorded by JasonAldean, Cowboy Crushand Keith Gattis, and hereceived a major careerboost in 2007 when GarthBrooks recorded his song“More Than a Memory” asone of four new tunesappearing on UltimateHits, a career-spanningcompilation that featuredBrooks’ first new record-ings since 2001.

Signed to a Curb record-ing contract, Brice charted

a stringof singlesbeginningin 2007with “SheAin’t Right,” followed by“Happy Endings” and “UpperMiddle Class White Trash.”

As an artist, his breakthroughcame when “Love Like Crazy”was released in September 2009.With a slow but consistent buildat country radio, the single even-tually peaked at No. 3 onBillboard’s country songs chart.

Spending a total of 56 weekson the country songs chart, thetrack made history by breakingEddy Arnold’s 54-week stay onthe chart with “Bouquet ofRoses,” which debuted in May1948. Brice’s Curb debut album,Love Like Crazy, was released in2010. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Brice also had Billboard’s TopCountry Song of 2010 with“Love Like Crazy,” the title trackto his 2010 debut album; thesong spent 56 weeks on the

Hot Country Songs chart,peaking at #3 and setting arecord for the longest run in the

chart’s history.Brice was born June 10, 1979

in Sumter, South Carolina. As achild, he learned to play thepiano in addition to singing inchurch and writing his ownsongs. He entered and wonthree different talent contests inhigh school.

He attended ClemsonUniversity on a football scholar-ship. He played special teams asthe long snapper, but after anarm injury, he decided to focuson a country music career.

By 2007, Lee Brice had begunworking as a songwriter, withcuts by Jason Aldean, KeithGattis, and Cowboy Crush.Along with Billy Montana andKyle Jacobs, he co-wrote GarthBrooks’ 2007 single “More Thana Memory,” which became thefirst single in the history of theBillboard Hot Country Songschart to debut at #1.

the Bluebird. And heused it intensely. DonSchlitz (“The Gambler”),Tony Arata (“TheDance”), Paul Overstreet(“Forever And Ever,Amen”) – all are main-stays of the Bluebird leg-end, and it was at theirproverbial feet that hepicked up key insightsabout the writingprocess.

“I was soaking it in,trying to be a sponge,”Lynch says. “I was main-ly trying to hear thestory behind the song,how it came about, whatit’s really about. There’ssomething about under-standing the song-writer’s realm. You get alittle more grip on theway it was written andwhy it was written andhow they got to the fin-ished product.”

That education paidoff in a big way forLynch. He signed withBroken Bow Records –

the home of Jason Aldeanand sister label to StoneyCreek Records (home toThompson Square) – andis working with produc-er Brett Beavers (knownfor his work with DierksBentley) and engineerLuke Wooten (BradPaisley, Sunny Sweeney)on his debut album witha backlog of his ownsongs.


Records with a vibrantsound that honors countrymusic’s roots while cre-atively pushing the enve-lope with their seasonedmusicianship, dazzling har-monies and insightful song-writing.

With one listen to EdensEdge, it’s obvious the triohas forged a unique soundshaped by their individualinfluences and anchored intheir own distinctive gifts.Each grew up in ruralArkansas where farming,faith and family provided afirm foundation andoffered a springboard fortheir musical aspirations.

“I had grown up singingin church and school talentshows,” says lead vocalistHannah. “I’d alwaysknown that I wanted to be asinger. I didn’t know exact-ly how to go about makingthat happen, but my par-ents always knew that thatwas my true passion andthey wanted to nurture thatas much as possible.”

By the time she was inher teens, Hannah wassinging in a band with herfamily and Steve Smith, alocal financial planner witha penchant for writingsongs. It was Smith whorecruited Dean to join thegroup. “He taught me myfirst chords on guitar and hewas also my soccer coachwhen I was seven,” saysDean, who plays guitar,dobro and contributes har-mony vocals. “I grew up lis-tening to a pretty eclecticmix of music from JohnnyCash to Crystal Gayle. Mydad was a fan of Crystaland he had her tapes in thecar. I also listened to theBeatles and other greatsongwriters like Billy Joel,Paul Simon and The Eagles.Then I got into rock musicwhen I was a teenager andlistened to Led Zeppelinand Jimi Hendrix. I waslearning to play guitar, sothat was a big thing for mejust listening to great guitarplayers.”

USTIN — Threem o v e m e n t soccurred lastweek in a legalbattle over

whether the state of Texaswill allow health services tobe rendered by PlannedParenthood affiliate clinicsunder the federal and statefunded Women’s HealthProgram.

- On April 30, Austin U.S.District Judge Lee Yeakelgranted an injunctionrequested by the clinics toprevent the state from stop-ping them from servingenrollees — low-incomewomen who do not havehealth insurance.

- Later on April 30, U.S.Fifth Circuit Court of AppealsJudge Jerry Smith granted thestate’s request for a stay of thedistrict court’s injunction.

- And on May 4, a three-judge panel of the NewOrleans-based Fifth Circuitlifted Judge Smith’s stay ofthe injunction until a trial onmerits can be heard.

So, now, the stay of theinjunction is in effect, mean-ing the state Department ofHealth and Human Servicesmay not enforce its rule ban-ning affiliates of abortionproviders from the Women’s

Health Program.The Fifth Circuit

panel’s order requires alower court trial to be onthe next available regularoral argument docket.

Plaintiffs assert that thestate, in preventing themfrom rendering services toenrollees, violates the U.S.Constitution’s FirstAmendment (freedom ofspeech and association)and FourteenthAmendment (equal pro-tection under the laws).

What triggered thisrecent series of legal maneu-vers was a March 14 stateDepartment of Health andHuman Services administra-tive rule that set an April 30deadline for clinics offeringWomen’s Health Programservices to “certify compli-ance” – meaning, have noconnection with any facilitythat performs legal abortions.New licensing require-ments

New proof of residencyrequirements to obtain Texasdriver licenses or identifica-tion cards took effect on May7.

In announcement lastweek, the Texas Departmentof Public Safety said first-timeapplicants, in addition to

standard appli-cation require-ments, will berequired to pres-ent two accept-able documentscontaining theapplicant’s nameand address toestablish proof ofresidency in thestate of Texas.

To meet ther e s i d e n c yrequirement foran original iden-tification card or

driver license, an applicantmust:

- Reside in Texas for atleast 30 days prior to applica-tion; and

- Present two acceptabledocuments establishing proofof residency, one of whichmust demonstrate the appli-cant has lived in Texas at least30 days.Test ti screen for SCID

The Texas Department ofState Health Services on May3 announced it is addingsevere combined immunode-ficiency, SCID, to the list ofdiseases that all newborns inTexas are screened for atbirth.

The DSHS laboratory plansto begin screening for SCID in

September using the samenewborn screening speci-mens already collected to testfor 28 other rare disorders.

Blood to be tested is drawnby a heel stick within 48hours of birth and again atone to two weeks of age, theagency said.Combs to lead task force

Texas Comptroller SusanCombs will lead a new “ChildIdentity Protection TaskForce” managed by TheCenter for Identity at TheUniversity of Texas at Austin.

“Child identity theft andfraud result in a wide rangeof crimes against children,”the center’s director, SuzanneBarber, said April 30.

“The social harm of onlineimpostors bullying or prey-ing on our children is devas-tating, and the UT ChildIdentity Protection Task Forcewill work tirelessly to helpchildren and parents guardagainst these crimes,” Combssaid.

Viewing reality television is ratherlike watching Republicans trying todance to rock music, repulsive and yetsomehow fascinating.

A current entertainment is theflatscreening of shaky images of peo-ple arguing with each other aboutother folks’ junk.

Back in ye olden times televisionfilmmakers hired writers who thengenerated scripts featuring plot, char-acter, and setting. Producers thenhired actors, cameramen, set design-ers, electricians, carpenters, and otherprofessionals to put together often-beautiful works of art.

Perhaps the ultimate Hegeliandialectic of television art now wouldbe James Arness, Loretta Young, andPatrick McGoohan shrieking at eachother while bidding on a cowboy bootthat was once seen in Gilley’s Place,like babushkas squabbling over thelast bowl of lentil soup in Petrograd inthe winter of 1917.

What might the obsessionwith abandoned storage unitssymbolize?

“Look at this, dude – raremonaural recordings of DukeEllington’s early work!”

“Who’s Duke Ellington?”“I dunno; I guess we could

get something for these oldrecords from the recyclers. But,hey, look at this old book. Niceleather. Must be worth some-thing.”

That’s a Bible; someone will wantthat for a dashboard decoration, youknow, along with fuzzy dice.”

“Okay, we’ll keep that. Oh, hey,look at all this metal junk.”

“Oh, I know what those are – that’sa hammer, that’s a saw, that’s a foldingcarpenter’s rule, and those pointythings in that bucket are nails. I’veseen pictures of such things on mylaptop.”

“But what are they for?”

“Oh, back in the DarkAges, y’know, in the 1980s,people used them to, like, cutwood, and, like, build andrepair their own stuff.”

“Freakin’ primitive, dude!But how do you plug themin? Or do they have batter-ies?”

“No, the cavemen usedthese things by hand.”

“So did they get to suesomeone for that?”

“No, I think I remember being toldthat they felt fulfilled or something bywork and sweat and creativity – total-ly old school.”

“Wow, that’s like, you know, exis-tential and stuff. People were, like, sospiritual back in the day when theydid stuff with hammers and readbooks and stuff.”

“What does ‘Made in USA’ mean?”“Back during the Civil War in the

1930s people used to make their own

stuff in this country, polluting therivers and killing the striped owls orsomething.”

“That was dumb. Stuff comes fromthe mall, and doesn’t pollute.”

“Hey, what’s that covered bydust?”

“This? Oh, it’s the soul of a civiliza-tion.”

“What’s civilization?”“Oh, art, music, literature, faith –

you could look ‘em up onWonkiepedia.”

“Can we get any money out of it?”“No. Old stuff. Forget it.”“So the meaning of life is outbid-

ding other people for old golf clubsand record players in an abandonedstorage shed?”

“Gosh, dude, you make it sound soinadequate.”

GUEST COMMENTARY

Casablanca’s East Texas townBy BOB BOWMAN

When you talk to East Texasmovie buffs about their favoriteall-time films, the one everyoneplaces near the top isCasablanca, a seventy-year-oldlove story made in 1942 star-ring Humphrey Bogart andIngrid Bergman.

But few know that an EastTexan, Dooley Wilson, played asignificant role in the film--notnecessarily as a part of the plot,but as the piano player whosang “As Time Goes By,” theclassic theme which ranksamong filmdom’s top moviesongs.

An African-American, Wilsonwas born as Arthur Wilson onApril 3, 1886, in Tyler.

He reportedly played in blackclubs around Tyler before mov-ing to Chicago, where he earnedhis nickname in 1908, the resultof his signature Irish song, “Mr.Dooley” while playing at thePekin Theater. He performedthe role in whiteface.

Because of his role inCasablanca, history has foreverassociated Wilson with thepiano. But Dooley never playedone. He only sang and some-times used the drums.

Dooley performed onBroadway in the early fortiesand his breakthrough appear-ance came in the role of LittleJoe, a stereotypic lazy rascal inthe musical, “Cabin in the Sky.”He also played an escaped slavein “Bloomer Girl” and his per-

formance of the song, “TheEagle and Me,” was included ina Smithsonian compilation ofAmerican theater songs.

While Casablanca establishedDooley’s reputation on the sil-ver screen, it wasn’t his firstfilm. He had already played inmore than twenty motion pic-tures when the Casablanca filmcame along. For his role, he waspaid $350 a week. By compari-son, Sydney Greenstreet waspaid $3,750 a week.

If you remember the film,Sam was a singer and pianistemployed by Rick (HumphreyBogart). “As Time Goes By,”written by Herman Hupfield,appears as a continuing musicaland emotional motif through-out the film.

Dooley’s rendition of thesong is remembered for itself, aswell as for its cinematic associa-tions. About a year ago, a televi-sion show ranked the movies’top songs--and “As Time GoesBy” was among the top three,along with “Somewhere Overthe Rainbow” and “Singing inthe Rain.”

Since Dooley couldn’t playthe piano, his playing in thefilm was actually done byElliott Carpenter, who wasplaced on the set where Wilsoncould see him and imitate hishand movements. The onlyblack people on the Casablancaset, Wilson and Carpenterremained lifelong friends.

Dooley almost didn’t get theCasablanca role. Ella Fitzgerald,

a popular singer in the forties,was considered for the part andDooley’s Sam might have beenElla’s Molly.

Ironically, HumphreyBogart’s role as saloon ownerRick was originally supposed tobe a young Ronald Reagan.George Raft, another popularactor in the forties, was a secondchoice.

Dooley died on May 30, 1953,in Los Angeles. He was buriedin Rosedale Cemetery, a favoriteresting place for politicians,notably former mayors of LosAngeles.

Bob Bowman of Lufkin is theauthor of more than 50 booksabout East Texas history andfolklore. He can be reached atbob-bowman.com

John 13:34-35

“I give you anew command-ment, that you loveone another. Just asI have loved you,you also shouldlove one another.

By this everyonewill know that youare my disciples, if youhave love for one anoth-er.”

As I reflect on myyears of ministry, I con-clude that this is the mostdifficult and radical com-mandment in the bible.

I say that for severalreasons. Firstly, we haveno clue what love is.

Our subconsciousunderstanding of love hasbeen corrupted by themedia: television, movies,print media such as nov-els, and even the news.

We now confuse lovewith romantic utopia;warm, fuzzy feelings;passion; sex; or some hardto describe emotion.

However, scripturallove is not about emotion,it is about treating otherswith justice, compassion,and mercy. “In everythingdo to others as you wouldhave them do to you…”(Matthew 7:12).

At the end of thegospel of John when Jesusasked Peter three times ifhe loved Jesus, he toldPeter to “feed my sheep.”

There are countlessexpressions of love in theOld and the NewTestaments. ChristianDiscipleship is abouttreating others withrespect and caring… love!

That even includes ourenemies!

Another reason for our

confusion isthat when weread this scrip-ture we thinka b s t r a c t l yabout thosethat we do notcome into con-tact with.

We can saythat we “love”

those who suffered andare still suffering in Haitior Egypt or the Sudansimply because we do nothave to do anythingabout it.

Those folks that aredifferent from us in far-away places are conve-niently out of sight.

Closer to home, we caneven say some of my bestfriends are those kinds offolks, but do not ask me tolive with them.

When we come intopotential contact withthose different from our-selves we can cross thestreet, look down at thepavement, or act like wedo not see them.

The truth is that it issometimes difficult tolove those closest to us. Ihave seen families that arethe worst examples ofChristian love.

For example, a parentjust died and the siblingsare fighting over theinheritance before thedeceased is even in theground.

A wedding, whichshould be a joyous occa-sion, erupts in a big fight,and the family of thegroom walks out.

In the work place orthe government,Christian people com-pletely forget that we areall the children of God,and that we are com-

manded by Jesus Christto love.

“There is no longer Jewor Greek, there is nolonger slave or free, there

is no longer male andfemale; for all of you areone in Christ Jesus.”(Galatians 3:28) There isno longer Black or

White… for all of us areone in Christ Jesus. It’snot about being right, it isabout love!

Normally ValWeldon is busy in May.Normally, the long-timesoftball coach is prepar-ing for playoff contestsand scouting possibleplayoff match-upsahead.

Not this year.After Weldon’s

Jasper Lady Bulldogswere eliminated fromthe Class 3A playoffcontention by PollockCentral, Weldon has anempty feeling that shedoes not like it at all.

“This has never hap-pened to me so this isnot good at all,”Weldon said. “I’m kindof depressed. It doesnot feel good at all. Wewent 22-9 and anytimeyou win 22 games youhave to be doing some-thing right.”

That doesn’t meanthat Weldon is notkeeping track of what ishappening in the soft-ball playoffs though.

“I still know what isgoing on but I’m not toohappy with it obvious-ly,” Weldon said. “Itdoesn’t get any better asthe days go by.

“I’ve been reallyspoiled my coachinglife so I guess I neededto be taught a lessontoo,” Weldon said. “Ihate to lose more than Ilove to win and that’snot healthy.”

What makes thewhole situation harderfor Weldon is that she

knows if the LadyBulldogs would havejust taken care of busi-ness against Diboll tostart the second half ofthe district season.Jasper fell to Diboll andthat opened the doorfor Central to move intoplayoff contention.

“I think back to theone game that we blewagainst Diboll thatcame back and hauntedus,” Weldon said. “Wehad to win that game.When we lost to Centralin the first round andthen came back to beatHuntington, that put usin the driver’s seat tocontrol our own des-tiny.

“But then we went toDiboll and did what we

did and that was notgood,” Weldon said.

Weldon knew thatwhen the team’s playoffhopes were riding on aone-game playoff likethe situation withCentral, then anythingcould happen.

“Your mind startsmessing with you and itbecomes a totally differ-ent game,” Weldonsaid.

Another issue thatcropped up for theLady Bulldogs this yearwas their inability toplay as well on the roadas they did at home.

It was a rare day onSam Rayburn April 28thas Bass Champs EastRegion teams hit the laketo try to win a portion ofthe $45,000 pie. Therewere scads of skinny lim-its brought in as the bigbite was extremely elu-sive. Jonathan Garrie andKeith Morris found thatone big bite that anchoreda $21,400 payday.

At any given tourna-ment on Sam Rayburn itis common to see five fishsacks weighing over 20pounds. In many events,it takes at least 20 poundsto even be in the money.It took everyone by sur-prise when 17.96 lbs wona Bass Champs tourna-ment and 10.72 lbs caughta check in 22 places paid.

Strong winds hadbeen forecasted, so forsafety reasons the deci-sion was made to allowall contestants trailer toboat launches closer towhere they planned onfishing. Everyone wasallowed to fish until 3pm.As it got close to time tobegin weighing fish,spectators started to gath-er. As with every BassChamps tournament, thegrill was fired up andsoon the aroma of freshgrilled hot dogs foreveryone to enjoy filledthe air. Lots of “swim-mers” were seen as skin-ny limits were brought tothe scales. A weight of12.55 held the lead for agood portion of the initialweigh in. There wasalmost a celebrationwhen 13.46 was tallied.There were still manyteams with reputationsfor catching big sacks leftto come in.

Jonathan Garrie andKeith Morris entered thestage ready to tally theirkicker fish first. Itweighed 8.34 lbs, takingBig Bass honors. Addingtheir other four their limittotaled 17.96 lbs and heldfor 1st place of the tour-nament. It had been anextremely tough day forthem, reporting that at1:30 they had yet to put asingle keeper in theirlivewell. “We were using6th Sense crank baits atmain lake ledges. Wedidn’t get very manybites at all.” They keptmoving from spot to spottrying to find that elusivebite. “We could see them

on our graph, and itseemed when theywould move up to feed iswhen we started to catchthem.” Starting at 1:30,they finally began to puta limit together. Jonathanlanded their big bass thatwas almost half of theirtotal weight. “We onlymade one cull, at 2:55,and that was it for us.”Bass Champs presentedthem with a $20,000check for 1st place, anoth-er $1,000 check for BigBass and they also wonsponsor money fromCosta Del Mar and SureLife, ending up with a$21,400 payday. Theywould like to thank 6thSense Lures, CustomAngle Rods and HaleTackle for their support.

Texas rigged brushhogs was the lure ofchoice for 2nd place win-ners Kevin Chapman andShane Hale. They toohad a difficult time find-ing biting bass. “We tar-geted grass beds 12’-16’deep. We only caughtfive keepers all day, andthey all came in one 15minute stretch.” Whilethey didn’t have a wholelot to report about theirday, their 15.86 lb limitheld for a 2nd place finishand a $3,000 check. Theywould like to thank HaleTackle, “but most impor-tant we want to thank ourwives for their support.”

Kris Wilson and KeithCaka had the 3rd placewinning weight of 15.56lbs. “We caught a lot oflittle fish today.” Theirbest luck was with aCarolina rig to bushesand flooded willow trees.“We hit a few deep waterspots, but our main bitewas at the willows.”They enjoyed a $2,000check for their win.

Jasper was purelydominating at home thisyear dropping only twohome contests — one tostate-ranked Hudsonand one to 4A playoffteam LCM.

“There was a definitehome field advantage forus this year,” Weldonsaid. “We just didn’t playwell on the road thisyear.”

Coming into this sea-son, Weldon knewDistrict 18-3A was goingto be a battle to get out ofwith Hudson andHuntington pretty muchlocking up two of theplayoff berths. The emer-gence of a young Centralteam only clouded thepicture and left Jasperhaving to scramble togain a post-season berth.

“You have three toppitchers at Hudson andHuntington and now wehave a freshman atCentral that every collegeis after as well,” Weldonsaid. “We have to be ableto hit the ball better andplay better defense to getout of this district.

“When you lose a ball-game 2-1, you should beable to score more thanjust two runs in a game,”Weldon said of the play-off contest with Central.“We have to get betterwith our mind as well.We made a lot of mentalmistakes in the last four-five games of the seasonand it showed that thepressure got to them.”

She said the teamknew after the Centralplayoff loss that Dibollloss cost them dearly.

“They didn’t say aword on the way backfrom Hemphill and thenext day they were stillpretty upset about it,”Weldon said. “When youpass up an opportunitylike that, it’s kind oftough to deal with.”

Weldon knows herLady Bulldogs willbounce back next year

but she also knows herteam needs to build up astronger resolve to playbetter on the road aswell.

“When I first went toSplendora we were thesame way, the only dif-ference is that the kidshere are more athletic,”Weldon said. “They havethe same concept and wejust have to get strongerin our mind play.

“The kids know nowthat if you want any-thing, it requires a lot ofhard work,” Weldonsaid. “There are so manyathletes at this schoolthat don’t know how towork. They don’t havethe desire to do whatthey can really do andthat’s sad to me.”

She said she also hasto work on getting herplayers to start believingin their talents and howmuch more they canachieve with them.

“I know I have threekids for sure that can goon and play college balland I have a freshmanthat can play big-timeball if she gets her stufftogether,” Weldon said.“Those kids don’t believethat. I had to get othercoaches to tell them tokeep playing and that’ssad to me.

“That is what we aretrying to change aroundhere,” Weldon said.

And next year, the dis-trict is not going to getany easier for Jaspereither. Not only willHudson, Huntingtonand Central poised toreturn strong squads butthe district will add inCarthage while subtract-ing Kirbyville.

“We have a long waysto go but we have talkedto the kids about gettinginto a good summer pro-gram and what theyneed to do to get readyfor next year,” Weldonsaid. “If they wait untilwe start practicing to

pick up a softball andthink they are going tocompete with these otherteams, they are not.

“Those other kids areplaying year-round ballin Houston and playingthe best teams around,”Weldon said. “Thosepitchers in Huntingtonand Hudson are playing

all over the country play-ing the best of the bestduring the summer. Thisis definitely the toughestdistrict I have ever beenin.

“But there is potentialfor us here to get betterwe just have to get moreconsistent with what wedo,” Weldon said.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

By JIMMY CREELJISD InterimSuperintendent

In 2008, I had the priv-ilege of serving the Jaspercommunity as theInterim Superintendentof Schools. During mytenure as the InterimSuperintendent, I metsome of the finest peopleand most dedicated edu-cators. I found that thechallenges were great inthis small, friendly com-munity. However, theprofessional educatorsand those who support-ed education were equal-ly prolific in their com-mitment to help studentsgain a quality education.

Therefore, when theinvitation came in recentweeks to return to thiscommunity, I waspleased to have anotheropportunity to workwith the fine folks ofJasper. Again, the chal-lenges are significant.Again, there are multipleissues at the forefront ofthe battle. Some of theseissues are shrinkingresources, deterioratingfacilities, low test scores,poor attendance, andshrinking enrollment.Any of these issues alonecan represent a tremen-dous test for a school dis-trict. All of the issuescombined represent acolossal threat to the localeducation system as wehave known it.

Since I believe that aquality education is thekey for a viable democra-cy to prevail and since Ibelieve that the institu-tion of education plays acritical role in addressingmany, if not most of thesocial ills of our land, Iwelcome the opportunityto join hands with thededicated educators, par-ents, and citizens of thiscommunity to face these

challenges head on. Thefirst step in our battle tochip away at the barriersto a quality public educa-tion in Jasper is to make acommitment to vote inthe bond election sched-uled for next week. Iurge you to study theissues carefully andVOTE. As LyndonBaines Johnson was onceattributed in saying,“Vote early and voteoften.” Perhaps, I shouldnot encourage you to“vote often”, but I cer-tainly cannot overem-phasize the importanceof your vote. I trust thatyou will take the time tostudy the proposal care-fully and vote your con-viction.

In the meantime, ourstaff is busy administer-ing many of the stateassessments that willeventually determine ourrating in the state andfederal accountabilitysystem. Even while thetests are going on, otherstaff members are work-ing diligently with otherstudents in an effort toprepare them for futureassessments. As I men-tioned to our staff thisweek, the closing weeksof school provide numer-ous opportunities to cele-brate our students’ suc-cesses. However, thoseweeks are also criticallyimportant in preparingfor future assessments.

The closing ofthe school year initiates awhole new hustle andbustle in the school dis-trict. Summer school andsummer academic pro-grams are kicked offimmediately. Many ofthese programs are reme-dial in nature and morethan a few address theneeds of accelerated stu-dents. The budget plan-ning process is in fullswing and the district is

hiring new staff toreplace those who havedeparted. The mainte-nance department isscurrying to addressfacility issues whilebuildings are not at fullcapacity. Supplies andequipment for next yearare being ordered anddelivered. Teachers andstaff are engaged in train-ing and education.

As we prepare to facea hectic, frantic time ofthe year in the educationbusiness, I want to inviteeach of you to join us inworking to create a qual-ity educational systemfor the students of thiscommunity of which wecan all be proud. If youare a parent, I encourageyou to seek ways to sup-port your child and yourschool and I know thatthe teachers and staffwho work with yourchild would welcome apat on the back from timeto time. If you are a com-munity member, I trustthat you will recognizethe role of a quality pub-lic school system in thecreation and mainte-nance of high standardsin the community andthat you will support theschools with yourresources, money, time,and expertise. Thankyou for giving me theopportunity to join youagain in this greatendeavor we call publiceducation. Let’s all pulltogether in the comingdays to make a differencefor the children of thiscommunity and for thededicated men andwomen who work sodiligently to help thosechildren achieve success.We simply must prevailin our efforts to create avalue-added educationalsystem because failure—well, that is not anoption.

Recent changes meanthat boaters and anglerswho take steps designed toprevent the spread of inva-sive species such as zebramussels, silver carp andbighead carp won’t have toworry about being in viola-tion of state laws prohibit-ing the possession of cer-tain exotic species. Thesechanges take effect May 17.

“Boaters and anglers onLake Texoma, Lake Lavonand the Red River and itstributaries are being askedto take proactive stepstoward being good stew-ards of the state’s aquaticresources by draining allwater from their watercraftbefore leaving a boat rampand hitting the road,” saidBrian Van Zee, regionalinland fisheries director forTexas Parks and WildlifeDepartment (TPWD).

Zebra mussels havebecome well established inLake Texoma, and they canbe spread to other watersby boats. Boaters arealready prohibited fromtransporting exotic speciesthat are visible to the nakedeye, such as adult zebra

mussels.The new regulation is

intended to prevent thespread of zebra mussel lar-vae, or veligers, which areso tiny they cannot be seenwithout a microscope.Veligers can survive fordays in water trapped in aboat.

Boaters on Lakes Texomaand Lavon who drain allbait buckets, livewells,bilges and any other sys-tems or receptacles thatcould contain water prior totraveling on a public road-way will not be consideredto be in possession of zebramussels in violation of statelaw, with certain excep-tions.

“The regulation doesallow persons to travelfrom one boat ramp toanother on the same waterbody without drainingwater,” said KenKurzawski, regulations andinformation director forTexas Parks and WildlifeDepartment’s InlandFisheries Division.

“This will allow striperguides on Lake Texoma totrailer from one boat ramp

to another during the day. Itwill also allow bass tourna-ment anglers to take out atone ramp and go to anotherfor weigh-in.

Guides and anglers willalso be allowed to collectshad for bait in Texoma andthen go below the dam tofish without drainingwater.”

In short, all water willneed to be removed from aboat before leaving LakesTexoma or Lavon for anoth-er lake, the boater ’s homeor other destination.

The regulation applies tothe Red River from the I-44bridge in Wichita Countydownstream to theArkansas border, includingall Texas waters of LakeTexoma and Lake Lavon.

A second regulationdesigned to prevent thespread of silver and big-head carp also takes effectMay 17.

This regulation primarilyaffects anglers who collectlive bait; it prohibits thetransport of live non-gamefish from waters known tobe inhabited by the twospecies of carp.

Waters affected are theRed River below LakeTexoma downstream to theArkansas border, BigCypress Bayou downstreamof Ferrell’s Bridge Dam onLake O’ the Pines (includ-ing the Texas waters ofCaddo Lake) and theSulphur River downstreamof the Lake Wright PatmanDam.

“Collection and use ofnon-game fishes for bait onthose water bodies will stillbe legal,” said Kurzawski.“The regulation prohibitsthe moving of live bait fishfrom one water body toanother. Young silver andbighead carp can easily beconfused with native baitfish such as gizzard andthreadfin shad. Anglersneed to note that while itwill be legal to take shadfrom Lake Texoma to belowDenison Dam on the RedRiver, it will not be legal totake live bait from the RedRiver below the dam backto Lake Texoma or anyother water body.”

The new regulations areone part of the next phaseof a continuing effort to

protect the waters of Texasfrom invasive species.

In late May TPWD willlaunch a public informationcampaign aimed at gettingboaters to Clean, Drain andDry their boats in order tohelp stop the spread ofzebra mussels and otherinvasives.

The campaign will usebillboards, banners, signageat area businesses, buoys atboat ramps and radio pub-lic service announcementsto get the message across.

Zebra mussels have thepotential to hinder thewater supply of communi-ties throughout North Texasby damaging water treat-ment plants and cloggingwater supply pipelines.

Once they have becomeestablished in a reservoir,there is no known way toget rid of them. Zebra mus-sels were brought to LakeTexoma on boats traileredin from other states withinfected lakes.

Stopping their transportfrom one water body toanother by boats appears tobe the only way to preventtheir spread.
