ETcetera magazine shines new spotlight on Kilgore

T

he Kilgore News Herald expanded its coverage of the community today through a new product – readers will find a copy of ETcetera magazine tucked inside their Wednesday edition. Glossy pages are familiar territory for the newsroom with “Inspire Health,” “home/garden decorator” and similar products regularly offering added content for subscribers. It’s less common, though, for the News Herald to self-publish a magazine, such as 2011’s “50 Things We Love About East Texas.” KNH pulled the trigger on the new publication this fall, and the inaugural issue spotlights Everything That

Bling’s ‘Pin-Up Experience’ as well as the upcoming Reel East Texas Film Festival among a series of special features on everything from ‘Taco Wednesday’ at Las Tejanitas to local Medal of Honor winner James M. Logan and a schedule of upcoming holiday events. The magazine format gives the paper’s writers, photographers, contributors and advertisers more room to be creative, the ‘and other things’ of the ETcetera moniker. See MAGAZINE, Page 3

SEEING THE MUSIC Annual fest brings pipe organs to life By CHELSEA KATZ news2@kilgorenewsherald.com

Since hearing a recording of First Presbyterian Church’s Aeolian-Skinner, Opus 1173 pipe organ as a college student, Jim Hejduk has made the East Texas Pipe Organ Festival an annual trip. “My knowledge of the Kilgore organ goes back to the fall of 1962,” he said, laughing. This year marked the seventh year for the festival and Hejduk’s sixth time attending and getting to answer the question he asked himself about what kind of a community Kilgore had to support such an effort as the pipe organ festival. “It was absolutely stunSee PIPE ORGAN, Page 5

The festival continues through Thursday in Kilgore and Longview.

Gregg County Commissioners Monday stuck with their earlier decision to lift the ban on outside burning. The rain the county has received and is expected to receive has eliminated the immediate threat of wildfires in the county and allowed the commissioners to terminate the burn ban County Judge Bill Stoudt enacted Oct. 16 and the court extended it Oct. 30. According to the declaration, “Whereas, there has been sufficient rainfall in Gregg County; and whereas, drought conditions have abated in Gregg County; and whereas, the threat of disaster from wildfire no longer exists in Gregg County; it is therefore ordered that the Order banning open fires in the unincorporated areas of Gregg County, Texas, is hereby permanently terminated in Commissioners’ Court on this date.” As part of the decision to enact and terminate burn bans, Stoudt and Gregg County Fire Marshal Mark Moore look at the Keetch-Byram Drought Index, which measures the moisture in grass and vegetation.

KILGOROUND “The world is full of willing people; some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.” --Robert Frost • “THIS organ festival is one of the things that put Kilgore on the map.” THAT was the opinion offered by a guest at this week’s East Texas Pipe Organ Festival celebrating the Roy Perry-built organs here, in Longview and in Shreveport. THE brainchild of First Presbyterian’s organist, Lorenz Maycher, the festival in its seventh year brings organists and aficionados from across the country and Europe to Kilgore for five days. They fill the host hotel (Comfort Suites) and spill over to the Hampton Inn, they dine at our restaurants and – most importantly – go home and tell their friends about the hospitality they found here. THANKS, Lorenz and all the volunteers who put the festival together. • IF it weren’t for the fact that the reversion to Central Standard Time renders the sky completely black by 6:30, it would be hard to imagine that the holidays are upon us. AND yet they are. WHEN the switch is thrown and the stars atop the derricks are lighted next Thursday evening, the holiday season is officially underway in Kilgore and environs.

The first movie he saw was “Abbott and Costello” with his grandmother. “I made her sit through it three times,” he said.

In 1968, he was part of “Lady in Cement” with Frank Sinatra, and his name was put on the Crim Theater marquee alongside Sinatra’s when it premiered in Kilgore.

Religious panel weighs Reformation 500 years on By JAMES DRAPER news1@kilgorenewsherald.com

Scouts spread word about food drive Saturday Scouting for Food was launched by the Greater Saint Louis Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America in 1985 and continues annually, nationwide, as local troops go out into the community to collect donations for food pantries. In Kilgore, that’s Helping Hands, and Cub Scouts in Pack 251 and Boy Scouts in Troop 252 will be spreading throughout the community Saturday to distribute door hanger reminders to residents that now’s the time to fill the shelves of the Martin Street charity. Parents in tow, the scouts will be trekking through Kilgore neighborhoods Nov. 11 to distribute the hangers and notify homeowners they’ll be returning in a week’s time to pick-up bagged donations of nonperishable food items. Canned goods, boxes of macaroni, dry cake mixes – anything and everything fuels Helping Hands efforts in meeting the nutritional needs of people in and around Kilgore on a monthly basis. To participate in the Scouting for Food drive, residents should place their donations at their door the morning of Saturday, Nov. 18, no later than 9 a.m. The scouts and their adult chaperones will collect the contributions and haul them to Helping Hands the same day. It can mean an injection of more than two tons of groceries at the food pantry, Cubmaster Carolyn Holcombe says. Anyone who misses the 9 a.m. Nov. 18 deadline to put out their donation can still lend a hand in the following week by calling Holcombe for a lastchance pick-up. Reach the cubmaster at 903-984-3675. – By JAMES DRAPER

“The Reformation was about, first and foremost, the forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ. Who Christ is, what He has done and how we continue to receive the benefits of what He has done continues to be essential for us.” 500 years after the Reformation began with Martin Luther’s “Ninety-five Theses” posted on a door at the University of Wittenberg, his legacy persists, the Rev. Jayson Galler said Oct. 29, sharing a stage in Kilgore College’s Devall Student Center Ballroom with three other local ministers in a discussion of the past, present and future of their faith. “The Reformation came and those churches thrived and now, in our modern era, many of those great cathedrals stand empty,” the Pilgrim Luther Church minister said. “We know there are going to be divisions in different religions and yet we believe in one universal, catholic church. There will always be a remnant – as there has been in the past, as there is now, as there will be in the future.” The church in the west is shrinking, First Baptist Church’s Dr. Glenn Young allowed. That said, “The church throughout the world is growing,” thriving in Africa, Central America and Asia. “From a global standpoint, the Reformation has not run out of gas.” The church will continue growing, agreed the Rev. Phillip Hodson of Christ the King Orthodox Presbyterian Church in Longview. “In exalting the Christ of scripture there is unity and it draws us together,” Hodson said. “We can embrace the unity we have and build from there.” The ongoing debate about the church diminishing is an old one, according to the Rev. Ben Bagley of St. Luke’s United Methodist Church. “We have a huge capacity to make it seem like this is the first time this problem has existed before,”

he said, similar to so many divisive issues. “We talk about it as if it’s something we have started, something that’s new, without the reality that so much of this is how the Reformation came to be.” Luther and the Reformation made a very specific push of moving beyond the walls of the church, Bagley said, taking the message of Christ and salvation to the masses.

Likewise, the modern church shouldn’t be comfortable just in the pews. “It would be amazing to take some of the lessons” so well illustrated five centuries past, “and rebring them to the surface and use them in our daily lives today and in our churches.” With the anniversary of the Reformation days away on Oct. 31,

the panel took questions from their audience in Devall Student Center, offering perspectives on modern challenges for the church. What today can give people hope for the union of the global church? “I think the hope is in the promise,” Hodson said, outlined in the Holy Bible. “He has prayed that we would be one. God will provide us unity around faithfulness to Him … Wherever there is faith, the spirit of God is present.” Unity comes in practice, Young said, not necessarily in theology. “There is such a wide diversity in how you approach the word of God,” Galler said. In the end, “He’s ultimately responsible for what the church is and where the church goes and what the church does.” There are myriad differences between denominations, Bagley answered. “We do agree that we’re here to make you a disciple of Jesus Christ.” On church attendance, it’s a period of decline in the west, Hodson said, a decline in critical thinking, in a critical approach to scripture. “In Christendom, people don’t trust their Bible any longer, and they do trust their comfort and their wealth,” he lamented. “But God is faithful and continuing and there’s nothing new under the sun.” History shows the pendulum swings back and forth, Bagley said, periods when the church is ascendant and when it declines. “We’ll bounce back from this and we’ll go really far the other direction and bounce back from that,” he added. Through it all, “It’s time to still preach the Gospel.” There’s a “chronocentric” attitude, Young said. “We think that our time is the time. We’re also western-centric,” he noted. “The church is triumphant today, but maybe not here. God’s church is alive and powerful in other places in the world. “I don’t think He promises that the west will bounce back or that it won’t, but I think globally his church will be triumphant.”

State asking for community input on future of education By CHELSEA KATZ news2@kilgorenewsherald.com

Community members will get a chance to help shape the future of education in Texas when State Board of Education member Keven Ellis visits Kilgore next week. Parents, students, business leaders, educators and all community members are invited to attend a free Community Conversation event at Region VII Educational Service Center Nov. 14 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. to discuss the LongRange Plan for public education in the state.

The event is free, but people are asked to register at the event page https://tinyurl.com/ SBOEmeeting as either an individual or a group. The Kilgore event will be one of many taking place throughout the state as the State Board of Education looks ahead to its longrange plan, which has a tentative adoption date of fall 21018. The board will consider information and conversations from the public meetings across the state along with recommendations from an 18-member steering committee and results

of an online survey as they set goals for Texas public education through 2030. The Long-Range Plan for Public Education Steering Committee consists of members of the State Board of Education, stakeholder groups and state agencies, according to the event page. “The steering committee will recommend long-term goals for Texas schools and will identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges of the system,” the description states. Topics set to be discussed during the Nov.

14 community meeting are student engagement and empowerment, educator preparation, recruitment and retention, equity and access, and family engagement and empowerment. Documents presented by the steering committee earlier in the summer and fall and the long-range plans for public education and technology are included on the website as well. On the State Board of Education, Lufkinbased Ellis represents Region 9, which covers 31 counties including Gregg and Rusk. He could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

AMBUCS of East Texas will host a garage sale fundraiser at 109 S. Martin St. Saturday morning, putting the proceeds from the 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. event toward renovating the building as a local hub for Kilgore United Fund and other nonprofits. The Nov. 11 sale falls a little more than a year after the Rudman Foundation granted the building to United Fund. Since then, volunteers from the fundraising initiative – which is pursuing an $80,000 target in 2017 on behalf of 11 local nonprofits – have been slowly renovating the property. The 1,700 square-foot space has been used in a variety of ways since it was constructed in 1951. Once the new renovations are complete, Kilgore United Fund will use the former Kilgore Chamber of Commerce building, former commercial property as a meeting space for nonprofits, including UF and its benefiting charities as well as others in need of the room. None of United Fund’s general campaign contributions are being used in the renovations: the project is being funded by AMBUCS, the garage sale and earmarked donations. Meanwhile, United Fund’s volunteers continue to raise money for the year’s fundraising goal, augmenting

donations collected from the drive’s Pacesetters as well as the Oct. 28 Nightmare on Main Street wine-and-shopping fundraiser. Commitment cards are available from the group’s volunteers and from Kilgore United Fund Co-President Merlyn Holmes at the East Texas Oil Museum. Filling out one of the pledges, local donors – individuals, businesses and organizations – can contribute cash or check donations or agree to a monthly payroll donation through September 2018. Proceeds from United Fund’s 2017 drive will be allocated to 11 nonprofits active in Kilgore and selected by UF volunteers. The charity beneficiaries include Because I Care, Boys & Girls Club of Rusk County – Kilgore Unit, East Texas Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America, East Texas Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, East Texas Court Appointed Special Advocates, East Texas Literacy Council, East Texas Treatment Center, Habitat for Humanity, Helping Hands of Kilgore, Friends of Partners in Prevention and Parenting Resource Center. For more information about the 2017 campaign or the Nov. 11 garage sale, contact Holmes at 903-7364265. – By JAMES DRAPER

KC among schools commemorating Higher Ed. Act KC Press Release

Kilgore College will join higher education institutions around the nation today in honoring its students who are among the first members of their families to attend college. The Nov. 8 event is part of a national First-Generation College Celebration, held to commemorate the signing of the 1965 Higher Education Act (HEA), which has helped millions of poverty-stricken students to become first in their families to earn college degrees. The celebration at KC will include recognition of firstgeneration faculty and staff at KC, an information booth set up in the student center for students to visit and a special event for TRIO participants which will feature a motivational speaker and recognition of KC’s fall 2017 TRIO graduates. “This event is to recognize and emphasize the great potential that first-generation students bring to their communities through higher education,� said Bindy Tice, KC’s director of TRIO Student Support Services. The Council for Opportunity for Education (COE) spearheaded this effort in partnership with NASPA–Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education. Both organizations, which are headquartered in Washington, D.C., work with higher education professionals to assure students access and succeed in college. “Millions of low-income students who have benefitted from the programs created by the Higher Education Act have subsequently helped shape our country as astronauts, judges, scientists, politicians, scholars, writers, business leaders and more,� said Maureen Hoyler, COE president. “It’s especially important to celebrate these accomplishments because even in 2017, campuses and communities can overlook the academic capabilities that lie dormant within so many first-generation students.�

“It’s the people I work with, the instructors on our staff, that really make the police academy successful,� Joe Cassin tells Kilgore Rotarians Nov. 1. Founded in 1966 by the East Texas Police Chief’s Association, the director of Kilgore College’s East Texas Police Academy said now “We span 23 counties. We’re able to provide all forms of law enforcement training,� from basic licensing to highly-specialized courses, and “We have very close working relationships with all of the agencies in our region. It’s over 6,000 licensees, 2,000 peace officers served on a regular basis. We make it a point to go out into the field and be a truly regional academy as often as we can.�

was working all the time from the last 1960s to the 1980s and on.â€? In total, Jarrell has 25 acting credits, according to the Internet Movie Database, including appearances in “Casino,â€? “Dallasâ€? and “Catch-22.â€? When he comes back to Kilgore’s big screen, though, Jarrell will be appearing along with, in addition to the other actors, his grandson. Jarrell is excited for the festival to begin in Kilgore and bring a new industry to the East Texas oilfield. “It’s a real achievement for Kilgore and for East Texas‌ I think it’ll be a real good feather in Kilgore’s cap,â€? he said. For some, though, their visit to Kilgore will be their introduction to small-town Texas. Mike Vezza, who will be coming in for the festival from New Jersey, said he has never been anywhere near East Texas. In addition to being executive producer of the short film “Reality Disorder,â€? Vezza appears as an actor in the project. Although it is being marketed as a short film, he said, it is really a pitch pilot for a TV show. In addition to being the first screening in Texas, the Friday morning showing will be its first in the American South. While he is in Kilgore, Vezza said, he hopes to explore the city, network with other filmmakers visiting to promote their projects and maybe find filming locations in the area, calling it an “untapped marketâ€? for filmmakers. “We’re just happy to be there,â€? he said. “I’m excited to get a look at a new city‌ We’re excited to be part of their first year.â€? Also venturing to Kilgore is James

Christopher, who is bringing with him two projects to screen during the festival. Although Christopher is based in Austin and grew up in Houston, he said, “I have this love affair with smalltown Texas.� Christopher, who has been involved in the film industry for about 11 years, will bring two feature movies (“The Last Beautiful Girl� and “The Five Year�) to Kilgore for the film festival. “To have a festival driven by stories is super, super important just for the culture of film we’re creating,� he said, noting film festivals of all sizes throughout the country are important for this reason. As people continue to watch movies at home instead of in the theaters, Christopher said, they do not have the same shared experience they get when going into a theater and watching a movie together with others. Excited to explore Kilgore and meet other filmmakers and people associated with the festival, Christopher said, “There’s nothing about it I’m not excited about.� Jennifer Townsend will not be able to attend the festival, but her featurelength documentary “Catching Sight of Thelma and Louise� will play Thursday evening at 7:30 in the block following the annual Derrick Lighting celebration. The experience was all new for the 78-year-old who was new to the business as she began work on the project as a 75-year-old. She described the feeling as “terrifying.� “There’s so much to learn when you’re new to the business and all the

MAGAZINE

processes and all the elements that have to come together,� she said. “I’m learning every single day.� Her favorite part about attending the film festivals is interacting with the audience. Her goal with the documentary is to get people to start having conversation with each other and then take it a step further and act. “I want people to think about how they can make society a safer place for women,� Townsend said. Part of that is getting men to support and speak up for the women in their lives. “We need their help. We can’t do this on our own because we’re all in this world together and we’ve all got to join hands and make this a safer place.� Even though she cannot accompany her film to Kilgore, she said, she hopes people will take advantage of her contact information and reach out to her with any comments or questions they may have. Reel East Texas Film Festival will begin Thursday, Nov. 16 at 10 a.m. and will continue through Saturday evening with the awards ceremony scheduled for 8:30 p.m. The all-day screenings are broken up into two-hour blocks with half-price, one-hour lunch blocks on Thursday and Friday at noon. Tickets for each block are $10 each with lunch block tickets $5. All-day passes are $50 each and all-access passes are available for $120. Both the all-day and all-access passes include entry into the REEL Lounge, set up in the Old Post Office (a.k.a. the Kilgore History and Art Center) across from the Texan, featuring the Bill Phinnie Art Exhibition.

“We often felt constrained by the parameters of the newspaper,� says Bill Woodall, copublisher of the Kilgore News Herald. “We felt a need from time to time to be a little more personal in our writing, a little more conversational, a little more like neighbors than like reporters “A magazine gives us that opportunity.� Produced by the newspaper staff with added flexibility in coverage, ETcetera bolsters the News Herald’s ability to tell locals’ stories, relying on many of the same hometown sources while offering a chance to innovate in the magazine format.

In addition to being inserted in today’s newspaper, the new product is being mailed to select postal routes in Kilgore and will also be available from participating advertisers and in other locations. Crafted in Kilgore, local connections give the new magazine an advantage over outside publications, Woodall added. “The primary difference will be our roots in the community, allowing us to put story subjects in fuller context than most other outlets can,� he said. “Typically we know the background, we know the history, we have relationships with people involved directly

or just peripherally. We just think we have a better voice for those kinds of stories.� Over time, the new bi-monthly publication will allow KNH staffers to localize more East Texas stories to Kilgore – the ET of the magazine’s title, covering Kilgore and surrounding areas and pushing local features into a broader area. Published in an e-edition as well as in print, the community content will be available well-beyond the Kilgore City Limits. “I think the folks who handled the design and layout of the magazine are a little more non-traditional than I am,� Woodall

quipped. “The designers, the crew that laid out ETcetera are members of what I would call ‘the flatscreen generation.’ I’m much more a member of ‘the vacuum tube generation.’ “I think the style of the magazine, the look of the magazine, the feel of the magazine are distinctly different than other news products in this market.� Copies of the first issue of ETcetera are also available at the Kilgore News Herald at 610 E. Main St. To suggest a feature story or to reserve advertising space, call KNH at 903-984-2593.

Gregg County in the 500600 category, which is one level lower than when the burn ban was enacted. Outdoor burning is not permitted within the Kilgore city limits, except with a permit and under certain exceptions of “small fires used solely for recreation or ceremonial purposes such as the noncommercial preparation of food or the providing of warmth in cold weather, such as small campfires.� Rusk County remains under its burn ban, according to the county’s website, making it one of 62 counties in the state, according to the Texas A&M Forest Service, to be operating under a burn ban. This means outdoor burning is not permitted anywhere in Rusk County, including unincorporated areas not covered by city ordinances.

OBITUARIES MRS. OREBA EDWINA HAROLD SQUARE Funeral services for Oreba Square, 87, of Kilgore will be held 11 a.m. Saturday, November 11, at El Bethel Baptist Church with Rev. N. L. Square officiating. Burial will follow at Kilgore Memorial Gardens. Arrangements are under the direction of Brooks Sterling and Garrett Funeral Directors of Tyler with local arrangements by Victory Funeral Services of Kilgore. Oreba or Nana, as she was known since her only grandchild came along, was born in Kilgore to the parentage of Edward and Joicy Harold on August 15, 1930 and departed this life Saturday, November 4, 2017 at The Willows of Kilgore Rehab and Nursing Center. Early in life she united with El Bethel Baptist Church where she served faithfully until her health failed. She was a 1948 graduate of North Chapel High School and her education was extended at Texas College where she received her Bachelor of Science degree. She later did graduate work at Prairie View A&M University and Stephen F. Austin State University. After graduation she spent almost four decades educating the children of her community. Having taught on a Navajo Indian Reservation in Arizona and at C. B. Dansby High School she

closed her career at Kilgore High School. After retirement, her love of antiques thrust her into the world of entrepreneurship opening A & O Antiques. Gardening, decorating, and organizing garage sales were a few of her favorite pastimes. She was initiated into Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. in 1981 and was very instrumental in establishing the Kilgore Alumnae Chapter as a Charter Member in 1989. For many years as a Golden Life member she held the office of Treasurer or Financial Secretary and served as Committee Chairlady of the annual Delta Debutante Pageant. On January 4, 1954, she married Alvin Square and one daughter was born to this union. She was preceded in death by her parents. She remains in the hearts of her husband of 63 years, Alvin Square of Kilgore; her daughter, Regina Davis and husband Jim of Tyler; granddaughter, Avery Davis of Irving; sisters, Zephyr Lee of Kilgore and Alene Lucas and husband Calvin of Tyler; and a host of other relatives and friends.

Festival introduces KISD students to pipe organ By CHELSEA KATZ news2@kilgorenewsherald.com

Kilgore second and third graders listened – some through covered ears – as organist Charles Callahan played the range of pipe organ notes, from the booming low tones to the highest pitches. While the organist and presentation changes, the opportunity for Kilgore ISD elementary students to experience the pipe oragn has become an annual activity during the East Texas Pipe Organ Festival, now marking its seventh year. Irv Lawless, of Hagerstown, Maryland, introduced the sounds by blowing into a selection of sample pipes before Callahan played the notes on the Aeolian-Skinner, Opus 1175 in St. Luke’s United Methodist Church. The pair’s demonstration for the students was one that has been experienced by audiences of all ages at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. After hearing the notes, though, the children peeked inside the organ chamber with Chandler Elementary School music teacher Penni Mitchell and Lawless, an organ builder, pointing out how the thousands of pipes work to-

gether to produce the sounds they hear. Second and third graders looked up at the pipes with their mouths agape in awe at the size of the instrument. “They asked some intelligent questions,� Lawless said about the children. “I think, to a lot of them the whole idea of an organ is very foreign.� Many churches, he said, do not have organs anymore and instead turn to praise bands. Callahan, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, said he feels happy and satisfied to introduce children to the pipe organ and possibly inspire them to explore the instrument. “The children are so enthusiastic and their eyes are wide open and you can tell they’re really fascinated by the pipe organ,� he said. An organist and composer, Callahan has made six appearances at the festival, more than any other organist who has visited Kilgore for the event. He said it was the power, majesty and the different sounds he could make on the organ that first drew him to the instrument. “The [pipe organs] in Kilgore and Longview are some of the finest in the world,� he said. “My favorite organ in the whole world is Mormon Tabernacle, and these are right up there with them.�

ning. First of all you drive into Kilgore, you think, ‘What’s this doing here?’â€? the Lincoln, Nebraska, resident said. Steven Peters was drawn to Kilgore by the Opus 1173 also, Peters said, calling it “probably the best church organ ever built.â€? “Kilgore – and also Shreveport and Longview – have this incredible treasure in these organs that is unique on the planet,â€? Peters said. “I’ve been here six out of the seven years, and in fact I was drawn here by the organ over at [First Presbyterian Church] because it is probably the best church organ ever built and does things that just simply can’t be done.â€? John Mok, of Cleveland, Ohio, is making his first trip to Kilgore after multiple invitations from Peters. Although he has experienced pipe organs before, he said, it has been limited to those in cathedral churches in New York and Europe. “This is actually my first experience with smaller-scale venues if you will, and the sound is spectacular‌ I’m getting to appreciate how pipe organs can be extremely articulate and agile instruments, which I’ve not experienced before because in a big cathedral like Notre Dame or what have you, the sound is just reflected. It’s just a lot of fun,â€? Mok said. Each instrument is made to fit its particular room, using the same set of pipes in the way that works best with the church, Peters said, commending the communities and congregations for supporting and investing in the preservation of the instruments. Kilgore resident Nathan Abernethy, who has ties to First Presbyterian Church, attends

as many Kilgore and Longview recitals he can during the festival. “My mother was a church organist as I was growing up, course not on the level that you’re hearing now, but I grew up around organs‌ I never imagined that anything like this could be started here in little old Kilgore,â€? he said. “Lorenz (Maycher, festival founder and First Presbyterian Church choirmaster,) has really taken the bull by the horns and has really turned it into just a fantastic event.â€? Hejduk’s favorite thing, he said, is to hear big-name organists play the instruments in Kilgore, Longview and Shreveport over the course of the festival. “There’s one particularly amazing artist after another that normally you wouldn’t think you’d hear except in some huge venue in some much larger city,â€? he said. One of the best parts about the festival, he said, is hearing young musicians, such as 19-year-old Henry Webb, in the early years of their careers. “Hearing some of these folks who are just starting out who are just so amazing is one of the real pleasures,â€? Hejduk, a retired organist said. “The fact that Lorenz finds these folks and really gives their career a wonderful kickstart is just wonderful.â€? Peters, who visits from Georgetown, called the festival a gift to the city. “These organs are really, really special, and you could go to some of the largest cities in the country and not find instruments that were as fine as these are, so people in Kilgore should be encouraged to come and participate,â€? he said.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2017

HOROSCOPE JACQUELINE BIGAR

FORECAST FOR WEDNESDAY, NOV. 8 ARIES (March 21-April 19)  Let your instincts lead you down the right path. Pressure builds involving a matter around your personal life and your outside life. Someone might opt for a power play. You could feel pressure to mediate the situation, as does a close associate. Tonight: Happiest heading home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)  You are likely to respond to a friend’s inquiry. You might want to bypass a situation, and will if you can detach. You might be concerned about someone else’s response. You don’t need to worry so much -- you will do the right thing. Tonight: Catch up on others’ news, then decide. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)  Start a conversation with someone you admire but don’t always understand. You will gain insight into what motivates and drives this person. Disagreements occur over funds, investments and choices. Try to stay within your budget! Tonight: Run errands on the way home. CANCER (June 21-July 22)  You see various opportunities arise when you express empathy and understanding. Look at the big picture, and you will be able to identify several possibilities. Avoid someone who likes to have control and will do nearly anything to stay in charge. Tonight: Do whatever suits you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)  You will gain a better perspective than you thought possible. Allow yourself to say less than you usually do. Be open to change, but know that today is not the day to make a decision. Think twice before verbalizing or finalizing any choice you’re considering. Tonight: Out and about. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)  You could be in a situation where you want to change direction. Understand that your choices need to remain your own and no one else can decide for you. Be ready to focus on a friendship and its long-term direction. Tonight: Time for a midweek break with friends. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)   You might feel unusually tense, especially as others seem to be demanding a lot from you. Can you achieve what you want and still find time to relax? Perhaps you can use this stress to give you that extra push. Give yourself some extra personal time. Tonight: Could be a late night. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)  You could go overboard as you express a greater openness than you have in the past. You might want to avoid a power play. Getting involved points to very little success; try to steer clear of this situation. As a result, you will be a lot happier. Tonight: Opt for a new type of adventure. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)  Reach out to a close friend who might be wondering what he or she can do. A domestic issue could be confusing to both of you. Avoid a confrontation that pops up unexpectedly and involves your finances. Avoid a power play. Tonight: Try to disengage from a hassle. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)  Investigate a problem by keeping an open mind about what others consider to be a problem. You might feel as if you know what is right, but can’t get anyone to agree with you. Avoid a control game, as no one will come out a winner. Tonight: Let a loved one make the call. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)  Pace yourself and get as much done as possible. You could be overly tired and withdrawn, but once you get started, you’ll find it difficult to stop. You’ll get through a lot of work. Maintain your sense of humor, especially when dealing with someone difficult. Tonight: Take it easy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)  Your creativity emerges when dealing with a loved one. You recognize this person for what he or she is to you: a muse. A friend might mean well, but could become pushy. Let this person know that you will address the issue as soon as you can. Tonight: Be near good music.

KILGORE NEWS HERALD  PAGE 7

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH DR. KEITH ROACH

CROSSWORD EUGENE SHEFFER

A primer on the 2017 flu season vaccines DR. ROACH WRITES: It is nearly flu season, and I want to discuss the options for vaccines available this year in North America. I do not recommend the nasal vaccine, as expert groups have questioned its effectiveness. There are seven influenza vaccines available. For most people, any vaccine is acceptable. The usual flu shot offered at your doctor or pharmacy most likely is the standard-dose trivalent or quadrivalent vaccine. The trivalent protects against three strains of flu expected to be prevalent (two “A” strains and one “B” strain), whereas the quadrivalent adds a second “B” strain. If both are available, I’d recommend the quadrivalent, but don’t skip the trivalent if that’s the only one available. Adults over 65 may benefit more from the highdose trivalent vaccine (Fluzone High-Dose) or from Fluad, which contains an adjuvant (a substance added to the vaccine to make it work better). Adults age 18-64 with fear of needles might consider the intradermal low-dose quadrivalent vaccine (Fluzone intradermal). This uses a tiny (1.5-mm), ultra-thin needle. Another option for people with needle phobia is the standard trivalent vaccine (Afluria) using a jet injector device. (It is like the hypospray in “Star Trek.” I have yet to talk to anyone who has gotten this, so please write me with your experience if you get this.) People with severe egg allergies can get the Flucelvax, produced in cultured mammalian cells, not eggs, or Flublok, made with recombinant DNA technology, which comes in both trivalent and quadrivalent. That’s a lot of choices, but the bottom line is that any of the approved vaccines will give some protection against the flu, which is always an unpleasant experience but can be a life-threatening illness: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that there are 12,000 to 56,000 deaths from flu in the U.S. each year. Most of these are in people who are not vaccinated. DEAR DR. ROACH: Uterine fibroids in the right (wrong) place can cause bowel compression and constipation. I wasted a lot of time adding more and more fiber to an already fiber-adequate diet to the point where I developed diverticulosis from bowel pressure. A hysterectomy solved the problem completely. Wish I’d known sooner. -- J.Q. ANSWER: Thank you for writing. Fibroids are benign tumors of the uterus. They are very common: Up to 80 percent of women over 40 have them, although many don’t have any symptoms. The most common symptoms are bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure, or a pelvic mass noted by the woman. The vast majority of uterine masses are benign: There is a risk of a malignant tumor (sarcoma), but only about two cases per 1,000 women with symptomatic fibroids. It is not a common presentation, but you are completely right that a fibroid in the posterior part of the uterus can press directly on the rectum. This can cause mechanical pressure, requiring increased straining to void. Fibroids also can bleed, causing anemia, and the iron tablets many women take to counteract this also can cause constipation. Not all women with fibroids need surgery. They usually get smaller after menopause. However, very large or symptomatic fibroids can be treated surgically. The booklet on constipation explains this common disorder and its treatments. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Roach Book No. 504 628 Virginia Dr. Orlando, FL 32803 Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

JUNIOR COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Rangers win two in Tyler; off to 3-0 start; rare Sunday matinee KC ladies win opener in overtime in Okla; in Tyler this weekend By MITCH LUCAS sports@kilgorenewsherald.com

Photo by MICHAEL HAMPTON

WHAT THE HECK? -- KC men's basketball coach Brian Hoberecht (above) glares from the bench.

So far, so good, for the Kilgore College Rangers men’s basketball program. And the Lady Rangers? They’ve opened the 2017-18 season on a high note, too. The Rangers won twice over the weekend in the Chris Booker Classic, a = mini-tournament at Tyler Junior College, outlasting both Southwest Christian and Brookhaven. Coach Brian Hoberecht’s Rangers are now 3-0, and off until a home game Sunday afternoon. The Lady Rangers opened on the road in Seminole, Okla., on Saturday at Seminole State, and brought back an 88-86 overtime win to start the season off right. Coach Anna Nimz’s Lady Rangers were to play at home Tuesday night against Paul Quinn College, a game that ended after the print deadline for this

issue of the News Herald. Check out kilgorenewsherald.com now to see how that game turned out. The Lady Rangers make a trip to TJC themselves this weekend for the Holiday Inn Classic. They’ll play Friday at 3 p.m. against Hill College, then Saturday at 3 against Arkansas Baptist. The Lady Rangers will join the Rangers for a double-header at home on Sunday. KC’s ladies will host Crowder at noon, and the Rangers will follow against Lone Star-Cy Fair at 3. KC 86, SW Christian 53 (Friday): Darrian Grays led the way with 19 points and Demiere Brown scored 12 in this rout for the Rangers. Malachi Davidson and Davon Newton each had 11, and Daytone Jennings added 10. Jennings also had six rebounds and two blocked shots; Brown, James Conteh and Kur Awol all each had two blocks. KC shot 23-of-56 from the floor in

the game and only trailed once. KC 79, Brookhaven 74 (Saturday): The Rangers proved they could win a close one here, just getting past Brookhaven even though the Bears’ bench outscored KC’s. This time, there were 11 lead changes; KC led by just one, 42-41, at halftime. Chad Bowie led the Rangers with 17 points. Jennings had 16, and four blocked shots. Samory Gueye had 12 points, five blocks and 11 rebounds. Grays had 11 points. Bowie also had five assists. Brookhaven’s D’Andre Dudley led all scorers with 19 points. KC 88, Seminole State 86 (Saturday): The Lady Rangers went a long way for their season opener, but it was worth it, as Richelle Velez hit a three-pointer to win the game in overtime. She finished with 27 points, and teammate Jade Thurmon had 24. Alexus Moore added 11. Kaci Richardson had 33 for SSC.

JUNIOR COLLEGE SOFTBALL

KC softball signs eight as talent infusion continues By MITCH LUCAS sports@kilgorenewsherald.com

The fastest way to get better is to bring in the very best talent, and Kilgore College’s softball staff hopes that’s what they’ve done with the most recent class of signees. KC had eight new softball players on hand for a signing ceremony early Friday afternoon, and hope to get the proper pieces in place for a run at a Region XIV championship. Signing to start at KC next fall were Felicia Aguirre, a third baseman from Sealy; Andrea Decarreau, a middle infielder from North Forney; Brooke Goynes, an outfielder from Longview; Allie Houchens, a pitcher from Maud; Nicole King, a catcher from Graham; Ella Ortiz, an infielder from Gregory Portland; Bria Tovar, an outfielder from Richmond Foster; and Amanda White, a pitcher from Lockhart. The Rangers, coached by Leslie Messina since the program began five years ago, had a 33-23 season last year and made it to the RXIV Conference tournament for the first time ever. The Rangers just played a muchshorter fall season, and went 9-11-2. Last year was also the first for the Rangers in their new digs, the Ballpark at KC Commons, on Houston Street at the site of the former Kilgore Heights complex. Messina, the former coach at Texarkana College, has helmed KC's program from the very beginning back in 2012. In eight years at Texarkana, Messina's teams won five conference titles and a pair of regional titles. They also appeared in the NJCAA's national tournament twice. KC's 2017 spring season was the Rangers' best yet. They do have one former Kilgore High Lady Bulldog on the roster: sophomore Cailon Palmer.

MONUMENTAL WEEKEND! -- Kilgore High School's girls cross-country team (above) and Sabine High runner Armando Borrego (below) competed in the UIL state cross-country championship meet last weekend in Round Rock. Kilgore's Zoe Craven finished 11th.

HIGH SCHOOL CROSS-COUNTRY / UIL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP MEET

Kilgore, Borrego finish state meet By MITCH LUCAS sports@kilgorenewsherald.com

It was the biggest stage in the state, and cross-country athletes from the Kilgore area didn’t disappoint. Kilgore High School’s girls cross-country team and Sabine High solo runner Armando Borrego all competed last Saturday at the University Interscholastic League’s state cross-country meet, held once again at Old Settlers Park at Round Rock, near Dell Diamond Field. Zoe Craven, just a freshman

who finished first for Kilgore at regionals, took home 11th place overall in the Class 4A girls competition. Craven finished the twomile course in 11 minutes, 55.18 seconds. She was the highest East Texan to cross the finish line. Alvarado’s Emily Garcia took first place overall in 11:28.65. Craven’s teammate, Cristina Rosas was 45th overall, second for KHS, in a time of 12:41.68. Also for Kilgore, Emma Taylor finished in 13:26.11; Maria Whitaker finished in 14:18.66; Estrella Galvan finished in 14:25.43; and Jacqueline Estrella in 15:13.25.

As a team, Kilgore finished 15th overall, one spot ahead of district rival Gilmer. Kilgore’s girls are coached by Heidi Hagan. It was the first appearance for any KHS runners in the crosscountry state meet since Clayton Fletcher represented the school in the 2014 version. Borrego ran for Sabine in the Class 3A boys competition, and finished the 5,000 meter (5K) course in 17:36.98. Borrego is coached by Jason Heffner.

This winning and advancing in the playoffs is getting to be old hat for Leverett’s Chapel’s volleyball program. The Lady Lions, looking to possibly get back to the UIL state tournament that they competed in a year ago, took one step in that direction over the weekend, sweeping Yantis to advance in the Class 1A playoffs. Coach Rickey Hammontree’s Lady Lions advanced to the regional quarterfinals, and were to play Miller Grove on Tuesday in Hawkins, following the deadline for this print edition of the News

Herald. See the News Herald's website, kilgorenewsherald.com, for an update now, and see more coverage there and in the News Herald’s weekend edition. LC beat Yantis, 25-14, 25-19, 25-19.
