Rusk County Pay Attention East Texas is maintaining an aggressive mode during the holiday season, tak-ing every opportunity to deliver the message that texting and driving or driving impaired or driving at an excessive speed is dangerous and can lead to a tragedy.

Thursday, the group held its month-ly meeting in the Justice of the Peace Pct. 5 Courtroom, hours before the group put a float featuring a crushed car and a message about the dangers of texting and driving in the Hender-son Christmas Parade.

Friday, the Drive Sober Limousine was in Henderson to promote a holi-day program that will, if a person is intoxicated and needs a ride home, can call the number and be picked up for a ride home. It will not be in all Texas cities this holiday season, but a number of this will be able to have the service.

Another Henderson Christmas parade has come and gone, and organizers are thrilled with the way the event turned out.

Usually held one week after Thanksgiving, a late Thanks-giving and weather pushed the date back this year.

The annual parade is a joint project of the Henderson Area Chamber of Commerce and the Henderson Rotary Club.

“This is the first time in history it’s been postponed twice,” Chamber Executive Director Bonnie Geddie said. “So we just saved the best for last and got it done.”

Temperatures lingered at 44 degrees, with clear skies compared to the freezing tem-peratures and precipitation of last Thursday and Monday.

“We’re sorry we had to postpone because of the weather, but third time’s a charm,” Geddie said.

Downtown streets started to fill with vehicles and fold-ing chairs early in the morn-ing the day of the parade.

Spectators of all ages watched everything from tractors and classic cars, to floats of all kinds, dignitaries and city and county officials and sweethearts waving to the crowd, gymnasts and twirl-ers, to Shriners and horses.

The youngest spectators were most excited about the arrival of Santa Claus at the finale of the parade.

Jolly Ol’ Saint Nick made his entrance on a fire truck provided by Henderson Fire Department.

Geddie thanked entrants providing their own festive music, as the crowds waited for the distant sirens.

Judges for this year’s parade were from Carthage to offer an unbiased opinion, she said.

The judges assessed the originality and beauty of each float as well as how well each reflected the theme of the parade, “Reflections of the Past,” and carried out its own theme.

Parade winners will be pre-sented with prizes at 2 p.m. Dec. 19 during the Chamber’s annual holiday open house.

Winners in the nonprof-it division included: Cal-vary Baptist Church’s “Star of Bethlehem” float in first

Our first candle — Hope; Our second candle — Peace; and today we light the third candle for Joy and Thanksgiving.

To forgive is not a suggestion but a commandment. When we follow it, we can experience a more joyful life. When we for-give, we open the door to joy.

This is the secret of joy. We shall no longer strive for our own way; but commit ourselves, easily and simply to God’s way, acquiesce in his will and in so doing find our peace.

And the angel said unto them, “Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:10-11

Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus. Colossians 3:17 (NRSV)

Lord, help us to serve you and others with joy, in whatever role we fill.

“O God of Christmas joy, thank you for sending your Son to us to help us make our home with you.”

God’s message, “The Com-ing of the Lord” Isaiah 35:1-10; James 5:7-10; Matthew 11:2-11.

God of beginning and end, teach us to celebrate those moments that connect us to you and to others. We invite you to join us in our walk and fel-lowship with Christ during our Christmas Luncheon in the Fel-lowship Hall following the wor-ship service Dec. 15.

Please join us: Sunday School 9:45 a.m., Worship 11 a.m., Ladies Luncheon every third Tuesday, Wednesday Bible Study 6:30 p.m. Holy Commu-nion and Interchurch Ministry collection every first Sunday.

derson, Texas.Overton and Hill plan to

have lunch together Friday then meet with residents and staff of a senior living com-

munity in Austin.Overton and Hill are both

African-Americans who were drafted into a then-segregat-ed U.S. Army.

According to the event’s organizer, Emeritus Senior

Living, Overton is America’s oldest living veteran and Hill is the second-oldest. While that’s difficult to verify, no one disputes that both are among the oldest known vet-erans in the nation.

She is proud academically that she has maintained a 4.0 GPA in her dual credit classes and, because of her grade, she is a member of Phi Theta Kappa at Kilgore College.

Her favorite subject is Eng-lish because “writing is only limited by my imagination. If I can dream the idea, then I can write about it.”

Her most difficult subject would be math because she has great difficulty under-standing why someone would want to put letters and num-bers together and expect an answer.

Her second grade teacher, Mrs. Kathy Matthys, was her-favorite teacher because she always found creative ways to make lessons fun.

Her fondest memory in high school was when she performed her first strut on the home field as 1st lieuten-ant on the officer line.

Extracurricular/athlet-ic activities include being a member of the Lionettes and FFA. She was awarded Lio-nette of the Week two years in a row and most dedicated Lio-nette 2012-13. She also won Reserve Champion rooster in the Youth Project Show.

Mr. Chamberland, a HISD band director, is her favor-ite extracurricular sponsor because he always made band fun and truly cares about his

students and the program.She is a member of First

United Methodist Church where she worked in the nurs-ery, attends church camp, participates in UMARMY Week, and helped with the Newgate Mission this past summer.

After high school she wants to major in psychology and one day become a chil-dren’s counselor. She wants to attend UT Tyler and complete a master’s in counseling at LeTourneau University.

To her parents, she says the following: “Thank you for always making me under-stand that I am special and loved. I could not have asked for more caring parents. You both have always supported and encouraged my dreams in every way. No matter how big or small, y’all always pushed me towards my goals.”

Buckner is the son of Kent and Kim Buckner and has a grade point average of 95.830.

He is Vice President of the National Honor Society, in FFA and his favorite subject is biology because he enjoys learning how complex the human body is.

His most difficult subject is College English because of the amount and difficulty of the essays.

Pamela Clifton has been his favorite teacher because she always pushes him to be the best he can be, and she

teaches in a way that he can really comprehend.

His fondest high school memory is making the sale at the Ag show every year, and winning Reserve Grand Champion in the wildlife division two years in a row.

His favorite coach or extra-curricular sponsor has been Brady Hunicutt because he helps when Buckner doesn’t understand an Ag concept, and he pushes Buckner to be his absolute best.

He is a member of First Baptist Church where he par-ticipates as youth camp lead-er, volunteers with Christian Builders and serves as Recre-ation Leader at Vacation Bible School and works with mis-sions.

After high school, he plans to attend Dallas Baptist Uni-versity and Seminary to pur-sue a calling he feels from God into a ministerial posi-tion in a church.

His hobbies and interests include hunting and fishing.

To his parents, he said the following: “I appreciate all they do in my life. They raised me in a Christ-centered home that was always a joy to grow up in. I thank them for being my friend, but also showing discipline. They push me to my best in all I do, and they love and encourage me.”

Group members also were given coasters, pins and other goodies to hand out at their offices to promote safe driving during the holidays, a time, traditionally, when a lot of accidents and fatalities occur.

Kamila Brown with the group said she has 10 DWI trees in businesses around the community. Those trees are set up in businesses with information on how many people have been killed or hurt over the past year in Rusk County, and then the trees are decorated with green bulbs for those injured and red bulbs for those killed.

“These trees have really caught on in the community and, particularly this year, with so many traffic fatalities in our county we are seeing interest in promoting driving safety,” Brown said.

James Pike, president of the coalition, said all of the wristbands purchased earlier this year have been delivered to schools and, those who haven’t already handed them out, are planning education programs where students are informed about the dangers of texting and driving and then are given the bands.

“Administrators are excited about this and have been very happy to help us get the mes-sage out,” Pike said.

As far as moving forward, Mount Enterprise and Carl-isle, and possibly Laneville, will be participating in Shat-tered Dreams in the spring, a program to promote safe driv-ing around prom and gradua-tion time.

This program takes sev-eral months to put togeth-er because it involves law enforcement, EMS, schools, businesses, school children

and other facets of a com-munity, and the planning and coordination is a major effort.

Work on the program, which will be held in April or May in those Rusk County schools, will begin in January, and Pike said the coalition is also going to have to lend a hand to make sure these pro-grams are a success.

“If we do a good job this year, then we can move to other schools next year and make sure each campus, at least every three to four years, has the program to teach safe driving,” Pike said.

The next Rusk County Pay Attention East Texas meeting is set for 1:30 p.m. Jan. 9 in the Henderson Civic Center Parlor Room. All who want to help this organization are invited.

WASHINGTON — The Republican establishment’s much-anticipated pushback against the tea party wing is underway. House Speaker John Boehner made that clear Thursday, when he renewed his denunciation of groups that try to defeat GOP incumbents they consider too willing to compro-mise with Democrats.

Some Republican loyalists wonder what took so long. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce recently took steps to help mainstream Republicans in party primaries, but Boehner’s high-profile outburst will move the effort to the GOP’s front burners.

Cheering him on are main-stream Republicans who angri-ly watched for three years as hard-right groups exercised remarkable clout in the party, the Congress and elections. Tea party-backed nominees helped the GOP win control of the House in 2010, but they also lost several Senate races seen as winnable, keeping the Senate in Democratic hands.

This past summer, uncom-promising House Republicans forced a partial government shutdown that damaged the party’s image, just as Boehner warned it would.

Many Republicans also feel conservative activists pushed presidential nominee Mitt Romney so far to the right on immigration and other issues that it eased President Barack Obama’s path to re-election last year.

“The establishment has no choice at this point,” said for-mer Rep. Tom Davis, a Virginia Republican who has criticized the tea party’s growing influ-ence. “So they’re taking them on.”

“To follow these groups is a downward spiral,” Davis said.

Those groups will fight back hard, Davis warned, and it’s not clear which faction will prevail in next year’s midterm elections and beyond. “They’re dug in pretty hard,” he said.

For a second straight day, Boehner criticized groups such as Heritage Action, the Club for Growth and Americans for Prosperity. These Washington-based organizations vary on pri-orities and tactics. But all have sharply rebuked Republican leaders on key issues. And they have aided insurgent Republi-can challengers who vow never to compromise with Democrats, even if it means shutting down the government or defaulting on the federal debt.

Critics say the groups chiefly want to raise money by con-stantly inflaming political activists.

“They’re misleading their followers,” Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters at the Capitol. “I just think that they’ve lost all credibility.”

The issue at hand was a bipartisan budget plan that makes modest changes in spending levels. It is meant to avert another government shut-down and budget crisis in the near future.

But Boehner’s remarks appeared aimed more broadly

at tea partyers who say true conservatives never compro-mise, and at groups that try to oust established Republicans seeking re-election.

House actions under his speakership, Boehner said, “have not violated any con-servative principle, not once.” He then dismissed the activ-ist groups, saying, “I don’t care what they do.”

Some Republicans fear an all-out struggle between the establishment and the tea party wings, saying both factions’ money and energy are crucial to winning elections. But oth-ers say tea party excesses leave little choice.

Even after tea party-backed nominees fumbled away likely GOP Senate victories in Dela-ware, Indiana and elsewhere, the groups continue to target prominent Republican veter-ans. They include Senate Minor-ity Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who is seeking a sixth six-year term.

In an early swipe at anti-establishment forces, the Sen-ate’s Republican campaign committee called for an essen-tial boycott of a consulting firm working for McConnell’s chal-lenger.

“We can only take so much from these guys that are out there on the ledge,” Rep. Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, said. He faces a tea party-backed chal-lenger in his bid for a ninth House term. The Chamber of Commerce, which tradition-ally has done little in Republi-can primaries, is airing ads for Simpson.

AUSTIN — Gov. Rick Perry is asking President Barack Obama for a disaster declaration for three Central Texas counties hit-hard by Halloween floods.

Perry bashes Washington and excessive federal spending every chance he gets. But the governor

said in a statement Friday that flood damage “left a devastat-ing financial burden on our local communities.”

He said Texans need the president’s help to “continue their recovery and rebuild their homes.”

Last month, the Small Busi-ness Administration granted

Perry’s request for disaster assis-tance, allowing storm-damage victims in 11 Texas counties to apply for long-term, low-interest loans.

At least five people died in flooding following end-of-Octo-ber storms that damaged hun-dreds of homes, mainly in the Austin area.

DEAR ABBY: My 17-year-old daughter, “Erica,” is plan-ning to marry her 24-year-old boyfriend. I use the term “boy-friend” loosely because their relationship consists entirely of texting, talking on the phone and the Internet. There has been no dating or getting to know each other in person. Erica is intent on marrying this man even though he has lied to her several times in addi-tion to having lied to us. She is planning to attend a four-year college.

I’m not sure how to han-dle this. She hid the relation-ship from us for more than six months. I realize Erica needs to make her own mistakes, but I’m not sure how to make her understand my very real con-cern about this.

I have raised other children

who went through various phases of teenage rebellion, but we were able to reach a gen-eral compromise on all types of behavior. However, she is unwilling to discuss the pos-sibility of waiting. Any advice would be appreciated. — NEEDS HELP IN VIRGINIA

DEAR NEEDS HELP: If Erica were my daughter, I’d suggest that because this rela-tionship is so serious it’s time you both paid a visit to her intended. Assuming her father is in the picture, he should be there, too. The subject of who will be paying for college should be discussed, and whether Erica will be able to continue her education if she should become pregnant. It may give her a glimpse of exactly what she’s letting herself in for BEFORE the wedding.

Of course the three of you will want to meet as many of his family and friends as possible. Because Erica won’t listen to reason, perhaps SEEING will bring her back down to earth. This will also give you (all) a chance to find out what else her “boyfriend” may have been lying about, including his age.

* * *DEAR ABBY: What do I

do about my husband’s cruelty to our cat? My children love “Miss Kitty,” but their dad kicks her and terrorizes the poor lit-tle thing to the point where I don’t think I can protect her any longer, especially when I’m not home.

I have told the kids that Dad is wrong and not to be like him, but I’m afraid eventually they may think it’s OK to mistreat animals. What should I do? —

CALIFORNIA ANIMAL LOVERDEAR ANIMAL LOVER:

Find Miss Kitty a good home ASAP! Your husband appears to have sociopathic tendencies. Does he exhibit them in any other ways? A man who mis-treats animals might also abuse children if they should get in his way or he is in a bad mood.

Of course, your children will be upset when you give their beloved pet away. Explain that it had to be done because she wasn’t safe around their father.

* * *DEAR ABBY: My sister

informed me today that her children have registered at Toys R Us, and has instructed me to purchase only the toys on their registry for Christmas! Appar-

ently, this is the new way to shop.

Abby, I have never told any-one what to buy my kids, and I’m appalled by this new idea of a Christmas registry. I try very hard to buy great Christmas gifts that my loved ones will enjoy. Am I wrong to think this is rude? — APPALLED SHOP-PER

DEAR APPALLED: I agree your sister’s request is presumptuous. But I suppose a Christmas registry is a natural progression from wedding and baby registries. There wouldn’t be a Toys R Us registry if it wasn’t a successful sales tool for people who don’t like to shop. Because you are not one of them, and Christmas shopping brings you pleasure, I suggest you do as you wish.

P.S. Let’s see how Sissy

responds when you let her know you have adopted her idea and will register at Tiffany’s on your next birthday.

gail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was found-ed by her mother, Pauline Phil-lips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069. * * *

Students will show off what they have learned during a boxing exhibition at Hit-Time Boxing at Luke’s Mixed Martial Academy.

The competition begins at 10:30 a.m. Saturday. Admission is $5, and refreshments will be served.

The boxing exhibition will have “celebrity” judges on hand to determine winners, including Henderson Daily News Manag-ing Editor Matthew Prosser.

“We’re always glad to sup-port youth sports in Henderson and Rusk County,” he said. “I studied boxing in my youth, and I believe it’s an excellent pursuit to foster discipline and a strong work ethic in young people.”

In addition to the judges, representatives from the Hen-derson Fire Department, Hen-derson Police Department and other community places will be on hand watching the compe-ition.

Ronnie Gray, who runs Hit-Time Boxing, said some of the kids have been working as long as six months, and there are other gyms coming to take part.

“We want to let the com-munity come out and see what we’ve been doing with the kids,” he said. “It’s a good time to put the kids in the spotlight and see how they handle being in front of an audience.”

Gray’s classes teach the fun-damentals of boxing.

“Boxing helps curve their focus and retention, and it helps their stamina,” he said.

Gray said boxing is about more than just getting into a ring and swinging away at an opponent.

“They’ve got hand gear and head wraps,” he said. “There’s a

certain stance they have to keep along with a certain amount of balance. There’s all kinds of movement and knocking punches away involved.”

He said the class teaches stu-dents what to do should they be in a situation at school where someone wants to fight.

“We don’t want kids fighting, but we know it’s going to hap-pen in school, at home, whatev-er,” said Gray. “We advise them not to fight, but instead to go get an adult and kill the situation.

“However, if they have to fight, we want to be able to give them a confidence to protect

themselves,” he added.Gray said the classes also

teach things outside of boxing.“It affects their behavior

as well because we also teach scripture and things of that nature,” he said. “We’re here trying to mentor them in addi-tion to teaching them boxing.”

DENVER — Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers kept Peyton Manning on the sideline most of the game and handed the Denver Broncos and unexpected and harmful 27-20 loss Thursday night.

Rivers threw two touchdown passes to Keenan Allen and kept the Chargers’ offense on the field for nearly 39 minutes, keeping their playoff hopes alive.

It also turned Denver’s sup-posedly easy road to the AFC West title and top seeding in

the conference into something much different.

The Broncos gained 13 yards on the 13 plays they ran after taking a 10-3 lead late in the first quarter.

Rivers finished 12 for 20 for 166 yards and improved to 28-6 in December. Ryan Mat-

thews matched his season high with 127 yards on 29 carries.

After Denver’s long dry spell on offense, San Diego led 24-10, and though the Broncos (11-3) had overcome double-digit deficits four times this season to win, it wasn’t hap-pening this time.

NASA suspects bad valve for space station trouble

ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The astronauts aboard the Inter-national Space Station dimmed the lights, turned off unneces-sary equipment and put off sci-ence work Thursday as NASA scrambled to figure out what’s wrong with a key cooling unit.

One of two identical cool-ing loops shut down Wednes-day when the line got too cold because of a faulty valve. The system uses ammonia to dissi-pate heat from on-board equip-ment.

Mission Control ordered the six-man crew to turn off some science experiments and other non-critical equipment; the pow-erdown continued Thursday.

NASA officials stressed that the astronauts remained safe

and comfortable.The suspect valve is inside an

external pump that was replaced by spacewalking astronauts three years ago. Flight controllers are looking at ways to fix the valve. A software repair would be the easiest option, a spacewalk the most complicated. In fact, three spacewalks were needed back in 2010 for the pump replacement.

The valve can’t be reached so the entire pump would have to be replaced with one of the spares at the space station.

Kenny Todd, a space sta-tion manager, said the orbit-ing outpost is left “somewhat vulnerable” with only one good cooling line. There’s always the possibility of additional failures, he noted, which is why Mission Control wants the problem fixed soon.
