Terrell Chamber of Commerce Exceeds Civic Auction Goal

Christmas Parade set for Dec. 14

The Terrell Chamber of Commerce held its 38th Annual Civic Auction on Satur-

day, October 19 at Cowboy Collections Arena. The theme this year was Sunsets &

Spurs, so attendees put on their best western attire and showed up for a wonderful

evening.

The goal for this year’s event was to raise $175,000. We are happy to report that

we exceeded that goal tremendously. We raised $194,032.

“The 38th Annual Civic Auction would not be successful without the support of

our sponsors, volunteers and donors,” said Carlton Tidwell, President/CEO Terrell

Chamber of Commerce Convention Visitors Bureau. “We are so grateful for the

ongoing support we receive from businesses and individuals in the Terrell com-

munity.”

This year we also set a record for number of attendees with right around 800

people. The $1,000 door prize went to Andrew Simmons and the Grand Prize draw-

ing winners were David Mallard ($10,000 winner), Vicky Hogue ($1,000 winner)

and Virginia Smothers ($500 winner). Congrats to these individuals!

This year’s Stanley Ballard Senior Christmas Parade will be held on Saturday,

December 14, 2019 at 10 a.m. We would like to encourage schools, churches and

businesses to participate in this year’s parade. This year’s parade theme is “A Ter-

rell Texas Christmas” and the grand marshal will be Mr. David Landua of U-Rent-It

Sales & Service.

The Christmas parade is a very popular annual event in Terrell and we sincerely

hope you will accept our invitation to be included. The parade route begins on

Moore Ave./U.S. Hwy 80 at Ninth Street and continues down Moore until it ends

at Adelaide Street.

Parade entry forms can be found on the Terrell Chamber of Commerce website,

www.terrelltexas.com and must be completed and returned by Saturday, November

30. The rules and instructions for parade entries can be found on our website as

well.

Three trophies will be awarded in each of the four float classes: traditional, reli-gious, parade theme, and youth. A trophy is also given to the most original entry.

Call the Chamber at 972-524-5703 for additional information.

ANGIE WESTAccount Executive,

Angels Care Home Health

Volunteer roles at Cham-

ber?

Board Director 2018 &

2019

I have volunteered many

times in the past with the

Annual Heritage Jubilee,

Civic Auction, and down-

town events like the Wel-

come Fall Y’all event.

Tell us a little about

your job and what you

do.

I am an Account Ex-

ecutive for Angels Care

Home Health, Gun Bar-

rel City offi ce. As a Home

Health Agency, we active-

ly participate within the

community in providing

and continuously improv-

ing home health care.

We are results oriented,

results proven, and recog-

nized as the number one

home care company in our

markets. We are dynamic

and focused on profes-

sional patient care with

gentle nursing hands.

I spend my days educat-

ing the community about

home health services, dis-

ease management and spe-

cialty programs. I facilitate

community classrooms at

local senior living com-

munities, churches, senior

centers and food pantries.

I visit our patients in the

hospital, educate physi-

cians’ offi ces on the ser-

vices that we offer and

facilitate referrals from

various referral sources. I

am a caregiver support

group facilitator for the

Alzheimer’s Association

of Dallas.

I lead a monthly Al-

zheimer’s and Dementia

Caregiver Support Group

Meeting in Terrell. We

meet on the 3rd Tuesday

each month at the Ter-

rell Senior Center. I am a

member of the Kaufman

Presbyterian Women’s

Auxiliary that helps raise

money for programs at

the Kaufman Presbyterian

Hospital. I help co-lead

the Annual Fashion Show

Fundraiser that benefi ts

the Terrell Senior Cen-

ter. I look forward to see-

ing everyone on April 4,

2020 for our next fashion

show fundraiser.

I also volunteer on the

event leadership team for

Kaufman County Relay

for Life. This annual event

helps raise money for the

American Cancer Society.

The 2020 event will be

held at the ExCEL center

on April 3.

How has volunteering

at the Chamber helped

you professionally?

I have been a part of

the Terrell Chamber of

Commerce since 1999. I

have spent more than 20

years working with se-

nior citizens in and around

Kaufman & Dallas Coun-

ties. I am very passionate

about people and feel that

volunteering with Terrell

Chamber of Commerce

has impacted my profes-

sional and personal life in

such a way that the Cham-

ber members are a part of

my extended family. I feel

it’s so important to stay

active and involved in the

Terrell Chamber of Com-

merce to not only help

boost my professional ca-

reer, but to be able to help

with the growth of Terrell.

It has been my experience

that the Terrell Chamber

of Commerce does sup-

port businesses.

What are a few of your

favorite local business-

es?

I feel that supporting the

small business owners of

Terrell is of the most im-

portance. Even though I

have many favorite local

businesses, I do feel a spe-

cial connection with Fired

Up Nutrition, Hair Addic-

tion, Silhouettes, Books

& Crannies, The Heart

of Avon, Whisked Away

Bake House, Body Bal-

ance, and Hickory Roots

BBQ.

I am thankful to be a

part of the Terrell Cham-

ber Commerce and I am

proud of our community.

I do believe the volunteer

hours we spend working

collectively on the vari-

ous events throughout the

years has improved the

quality of life for all of

Terrell.

Small Business Saturday “Shop at Home” set for Nov. 30

Small Business Spotlight- Paula Wyble

Small Business Saturday is quickly

approaching and that means “Shop at

Home” weekend is around the corner.

Small Business Saturday is a national

campaign created by American Express

to encourage shoppers to shop small

to support local businesses in their

communities on the Saturday follow-

ing Thanksgiving. In Terrell, our small

business have made this an annual com-

munity event. This year’s Shop at Home

event will take place on Saturday, No-

vember 30 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in and

near downtown Terrell.

Participating Terrell businesses con-

tribute toward gift baskets valued at

over $500 that contain either items from

their inventory or gift certificates to be used at their stores. Shoppers can enter

the drawing for the gift baskets at each

participating store (one entry per shop-

per per store).

So, when making your Christmas

shopping list this year, remember Ter-

rell small businesses where you’re sure

to find unique gifts for your friends and family. Hope to see you on Saturday,

November 30!

In each quarterly Spotlight, we like to highlight one of our local small businesses. In this issue, we would like to introduce you to Paula Wyble. She

is the creative mastermind behind the new, beautiful interior design at the Chamber office. If you haven’t been by to see it, you should come by!

Business Spotlight

Q&A: Paula Wyble In-

teriors

What type of profes-

sional services does

Paula Wyble Interiors

provide?

I provide consultation

and design for new con-

struction and remodeling,

specializing in historic

renovations. I also offer

consulting on an hourly

basis. From there, they

can hire me to execute

the project or implement

the ideas on their own. I

typically work as liaison

with the homeowner and

the general contractor. A

lot of times a homeown-

er doesn’t know what

they’re getting into, so

that is where my exper-

tise comes into play.

What would you like

the community to know

about your business?

Often times, people

mistakenly assume that

interior design is simply

the interior – i.e. paint

colors, decoration, etc.

I actually specialize in

design for construction

and renovations, and the

designs carry through to

the interior design ele-

ments—the finishing touches.

Where do you serve

your clients?

I meet clients in their

current home, on a job

site, or at a design cen-

ter or studio if selecting

products.

When did Paula Wyble

Interiors start business

in Terrell?

Spring of 2017

How can people contact

your business?

You can find me online at www.pwybleinteriors.

com, via email at pwyble-

[email protected], or

phone 979-575-9290.

Anything else you’d like to include?

People frequently ask

what my signature style

is, but my style doesn’t

matter. In the end, a

completed design proj-

ect needs to look like my

client’s house. My hope

is that when the project

is finished, it reflects the personality of my client

and their ultimate vision.

So when people ask to

see pictures or a portfo-

lio, I remind them that

my design capabilities

are not limited to what

they see in my other cli-

ent’s homes or offices

Terrell JV tennis finishes third At KaufmanTennis

FRO M STA F F RE P O RT S

Members of the Terrell High School tennis

team competed in the annual Kaufman Fall ju-

nior varsity tennis tournament last Thursday.

The Tigers just missed the second place team

trophy by four points to Cedar Hill. Kaufman

was first in the field of eight that included Cran-

dall, Ferris, Forney, North Forney, Athens, and

Midlothian Heritage.

“We put all our players in doubles or mixed

doubles to help the first year players learn in

their first outing so we had no points in singles

play and were still close” Terrell High School ten-

nis coach Philip Dodd said.

Top finishers for Terrell were freshmen duo in

girls doubles Kacie Roach and Courtney Rosen-

berry who defeated Forney in the first round.

Then the duo defeated Kaufman in the quarter-

finals and another Kaufman team in the semifi-

nals before falling to another Kaufman team in

the finals. The Kaufman varsity team is coming

off a second place state finish in team tennis last

week.In boys doubles, Diego Almendariz and part-

ner DeAndre Barnet lost their first match to

eventual Champion Kaufman then won three

matches on the consolation side over Crandall,

North Forney and Forney to capture the first

place consolation medal.

In mixed doubles, freshmen Paige Clark

and Estevan Hippolito lost their first match to

Kaufman then defeated Crandall and North For-

ney before falling to Kaufman in the consolation

finals.“Everyone did very well and most of the team

was playing in their first ever tournament,” Dodd

said.The team now goes to off-season workouts

with their first spring tournament on Jan 17th.

BY TR AV I S DE T H E R AG E

After an abysmal start that had North

Lamar taking a 13-0 lead, Terrell scored 42

unanswered points to go on to win 42-13 and

be named bi-district champions for the third

year in a row.

The game was played Friday in Terrell

at Memorial Stadium after both schools

couldn’t agree on a neutral site game. Terrell

won a coin toss against North Lamar to de-

termine who would play the bi-district game

at home. By beating North Lamar, Terrell has

won 15 straight games played at Memorial

Stadium dating back to 2014.

Also with the win, Terrell advances to play

Kennedale in the area round which is a week

one rematch that had Kennedale winning

21-20. The game will be played 7:30 p.m. Fri-

day at Eagle Stadium in Desoto. Kennedale

beat Wilmer-Hutchins 63-0 in the bi-district

round last week.

The winner of Terrell and Kennedale will

advance to play the winner of Kaufman and

Midlothian Heritage in regionals.

Terrell being down 13-0 early in the first

quarter against North Lamar was the larg-

est deficit it has faced since being down 31-14

against Kaufman on Sept. 23.

North Lamar received the opening kick

and on its second play, Sam Cowling ran for

a 68-yard touchdown to put North Lamar up

7-0. Then on Terrell’s first play of the game,

the ball was snapped over the head of Ter-

rell’s senior quarterback Tiyea Zanders and

the ball was recovered in the end-zone by

North Lamar. With that, the Panthers took

a 13-0 lead after the point after attempt was

blocked.“I don’t know if I’ve seen a worst start,”

Terrell head coach Mike Shields said.

But the Tigers quickly rebounded offen-

sively and defensively to only limit North

Lamar to those two big scoring plays, for the

rest of the game.

“We stepped it up,” Shields said. “You come

off an emotional win over Van and I knew we

weren’t going to be [playing] at our top but I

didn’t expect to start out like that either.”

Why Terrell won: Ter-

rell scored 42 unanswered

points after a bad start to

the game. The Tigers scored

on five of their first seven

possessions and North La-

mar couldn’t stop the po-

tent Terrell ground attack

as the Tigers rushed for 320

yards while averaging 9.4

yards per carry.

What this means: Terrell

has won its third straight

bi-district championship

by beating North Lamar

42-13. The Tigers advance

to play in the area round

against Kennedale at 7:30

p.m. Friday at Eagle Sta-

dium in Desoto.

Players of the game: Ter-

rell senior running back

Elijah McQueen scored four

touchdowns and rushed for

131 yards on 13 carries. Ter-

rell senior quarterback Ti-

yea Zanders rushed for two

touchdowns and had 124

yards rushing on 12 carries.

Terrell senior linebacker

Jermaine Gardner had a

team leading 15 tackles.

Key stats: 42 unan-

swered points by Terrell

and Terrell rushing for 320

yards.Records: Terrell 9-2;

North Lamar 5-6.

Vrzalik

questions

purchasingBY P H I L M A J O R

KAUFMAN — Kaufman

County’s purchasing policy

once again was the target of

outgoing Precinct 1 County

Commissioner Jimmy Joe

Vrzalik on Monday.

Vrzalik questioned the

handling of the project to re-

place carpet in the Kaufman

County courthouse annex,

calling it a violation of the

county’s purchasing policy.

It marked the second time

in recent weeks he focused

on that policy, previously

questioning the purchase of

temporary storage buildings

at the county’s south campus.

Vrzalik wanted to know

whether the bid to replace

the carpet would be honored,

since that project has stalled

— pending asbestos abate-

ment for the old floor tiles

underneath the carpet.

He also asked what the

penalty is for violating the

policy.He shared documents with

fellow commissioners of esti-

mates and a purchase order,

which he said was issued on

Sept. 30, the day after a re-

vised estimate was received.

While the total estimate

was $27,807 — above the

threshold for expenses to be

brought before commission-

ers for approval — the pur-

chase order for $21,399 was

for the materials only.

To the question of what the

penalty is and who enforces

the policy, Rebecca Lundgren

with the district attorney’s of-

fice said she had not seen the

information prior to Monday

and had not had time to re-

view it.She and fellow attorney

Karen Badgley invited Vrzalik

to visit their office anytime

with his concerns.

District Attorney Erleigh

Norville Wiley said her office

would be glad to schedule a

meeting with Vrzalik.

Commissioners then ta-

bled the item to be reviewed

at a later meeting, once Vrza-

lik had a chance to meet with

the attorneys.

Purchasing agent Lisa

Callahan said the purchase

order was issued Sept. 30 —

the last day of the 2016 budget

— so that the carpet could be

bought in that budget cycle.

While it may have gotten off to a

slow start, Small Business Saturday

Shop at Home was a success for Ter-

rell’s downtown businesses on Sat-

urday — for the most part.

Morgan Miller of Farmers Insur-

ance saw a big increase in traffic

compared to the 2015 event.

“I am real pleased with the foot

traffic,” Morgan said on Saturday

morning as musicians played at a

couple of locations along Moore Av-

enue. “We have had a lot more peo-

ple that at ArtWalk.”

He estimated his office had seen

about 45 people as of 12:30 p.m.

Morgan was especially pleased

people were coming in groups of

two and three.

Two of the musicians performing

at one point in front of his insur-

ance office were Dave Washburn

and Kevin Curtis.

At one point they had a small

crowd encircling them.

Down the street from them were

Willie B. and Annie Benjamin.

The Terrell Police Depart-

ment patrol division is going

to launch a new community-

oriented program on Sept. 1.

It is called Citizen Appre-

ciation Program, and Buc-

ee’s, QT and Whataburger,

are joining the patrol divi-

sion to recognize good deeds

in the community.

“The GCAP program is a

simple program where police

officers, who recognize good

citizens during their daily

shifts, can contact the citi-

zen, recognize their contri-

bution to the community and

then give them a simple gift

of coupons for free drinks,

meals and even a “Beaver”

bracelet,” TPD Chief Jody L.

Lay said. “The purpose of the

program is to allow police a

positive contact with citizens

who exercise safe and de-

fensive driving mannerisms

while driving, do a good job

alerting police to suspicious

behavior observed in their

neighborhood or who other-

wise simply do a good deed

in the city, especially those

that make the police depart-

ment’s job easier.” Officers

will be handing out the gifts

to individual citizens while

supplies last, according to

Lay.The police department

will be contacting other

businesses in the area to al-

low others the opportunity

to participate, as they deem

appropriate.

ment, as well as the partici-

pating businesses, are very

Seventy-Five CentS

WEEKEND EDITION

Volunteers with the E!

Terrell Entertainment series

reminisced recently on the

program’s 14-year history

as they stuffed envelopes to

send to a list of potential sub-

scribers that has grown year

by year.The series now encom-

passes six shows throughout

the year plus reciprocal ar-

rangements with four other

communities for additional

concerts.

Subscribers can take in a

wide variety of performances

in Terrell and expand their

horizons further through the

reciprocity agreements.

The series has come a long

way since that first year of

about 400 subscribers and

four shows.

It was spawned from the

Terrell Alliance for Education

and the Arts, when the need

for a performance wing was

identified, according to Dana

Skelton.The community had a

perfect new facility with the

Performing Arts Center at

Terrell High School.

That first year, a commit-

tee of volunteers – many of

whom remain active – spread

out, borrowing from any

mailing lists they could get

their hands on and passing

the word to friends and as-

sociates.Suzy McCook noted that

the fact the group did now

know what it was doing was a

plus, because they were able

to try different things.

Several traveled to a con-

ference in Dallas for the bur-

geoning community concert

business, to learn the ropes.

After their investigation,

the group decided to try to

set up community concerts

in Terrell.

Carol Ohmann, with what

is now known as Oldcastle

Building Envelope, secured a

$100,000 grant from the But-

ler Foundation that included

$40,000 as seed money for E!

Terrell.The money was used for

the first four years, and by

then the program was self-

sufficient.

The program had grown

to 600 to 700 subscribers.

And just as important – if not

more so – community pa-

trons had stepped up.

As Skelton pointed out,

patrons’ contributions sup-

ply about half the annual

budget, a figure that is well

above what other communi-

ties with similar programs

report.The program’s reach also

spread outside Terrell.

Less than half the sub-

scription solicitations go to

Terrell addresses, said Sarah

Kegerreis, part of the original

group.She has been a driving

force in marketing the series.

Part of the draw is the val-

ue of an annual subscription.

For just $50, subscribers can

see six high quality perfor-

mances in Terrell, in addition

to the other opportunities in

other communities.

Some of the individual

shows would cost $50 each,

or more, at other venues.

And on top of that, the

children of Terrell benefit

through the education out-

reach the program provides.

The performers typically

have a daytime performance

for school children that is in-

teractive.

And the lighting and

sound at the PAC is provided

by Terrell High School stu-

dents, who gain valuable

experience. And the reviews

from the performers give the

students top marks.

The performers are well

cared for while they are in

Terrell, McCook said.

While one group of vol-

unteers handles the behind-

the-scenes duties such as

promotions and solicita-

tions, another group is active

on performance nights with

seating, programs, assisting

the artists and such.

The program has been so

successful that E! Terrell has

been used as a model for oth-

er communities. “People are

amazed with the community

support,” Skelton said.

He noted one key compo-

nent of E! Terrell’s continuing

success is that it has reached

out to a younger audience

with some of its shows.

But it all goes back to that

first group.

“The people who were in

it initially were hard work-

ing people whom you could

count on,” Skelton said.

Visit ETerrell.org for more

information and to subscribe

for the upcoming season.

There is a discount for

early renewal.

Members of the Kaufman

County Sheriff’s Department

will soon see a pay increase –

the first for several years.

The wage increase was

approved unanimously by

Kaufman County commis-

sioners Monday when they

approved a line item transfer

of $247,455 from the General

Fund Budget.

Kaufman County Sheriff

David Byrnes lobbied the

commissioners for the pay

increase, which was bud-

geted for last year.

“It’s hoped to have an

impact on people leaving,”

Byrnes said.

The sheriff told commis-

sioners that the turnover rate

in his office is largely due to

the fact that officers can earn

more in surrounding coun-

ties. The transfer will result in

an $850 annual base pay in-

crease for employees, or $70

a month.

trial returned a guilty verdict.

Brownlow found guilty of capital murder

BY GA RY E. L I N D S L E Y

Silvia Sanchez clasped her hands together and looked

above as if giving thanks when the jury in the Charles E.

Brownlow capital murder trial returned to the courtroom on

Thursday morning with a verdict of guilty of capital murder.

It only took about 20 minutes for the jury find Brownlow

guilty of slaying Sanchez’s fiancé, Luis Gerardo Leal-Carillo,

22, a clerk at Ali’s Market on the night of Oct. 28, 2013.

The jury was sent to deliberate at 9:25 a.m. and informed

the court shortly before 9:50 a.m. it had a verdict after a nearly

weeklong trial.

Court started an hour early at 8 a.m. and 422nd Judicial

District Court Judge B. Michael Chitty read a lengthy charge

to the jury, instructing the jurors that they had three choices

from which to choose after hearing the evidence in the trial.

Jurors could find Brownlow not guilty, guilty of capital

murder or not guilty by reason of insanity.

Brownlow was indicted in 2013 for the slaying of five people

during a nightlong murder spree on Oct. 28, 2013.

Brownlow, 36 at the time of his arrest, murdered his moth-

er, 61-year-old Mary Brownlow at her Stallings Street home

and set her body on fire; his 55-year-old aunt, Belinda Young

City

Council evaluating sales tax allocations


It is that time of year again when organi-

zations write lengthy letters of justification

about why they need a certain amount of

money.

The Terrell City Council, by the time you

read this on Saturday, will have reviewed the

proposed requests from 11 organizations and

allocations of the hotel/motel tax revenues.

The council is going to make decisions on

the allotments at a future meeting.

The requests by the organizations and sug-

gested allocations by the council are as fol-

lows: Lake Country Productions, $16,562 last

year while it is requesting $27,500 this year

and the suggested allocation is $22,916.07;

The Vagabond Players, $1,843 last year, re-

quest is $4,200 and the suggested allocation

is $3,559.18; E! Terrell Entertainment Series,

$22,000 last year, request is $25,000 and

the recommended allocation is $23,090.64;

NorthEast Texas Fine Art Alliance, $2,394 last

year, request is $3,525 and the recommenda-

tion is $3,152.95; Terrell ISD Performing Arts

Sales tax revenue, an indicator of retail

sales and overall economic health, continues

to climb in Kaufman County.

The September report released by the state

comptroller’s office shows sales in Kaufman

County were 5.54 percent better than they

were in September 2015, totaling $1,726,355

compared to $1,635,624 a year ago.

That brings the revenue for the first nine

months of the year to $15,980,630, a gain of

12.8 percent over last year when $14,166,140

was received.

The 12 cities that collect a local sales tax

are ahead of last year’s pace, ranging from

7.83 percent in Crandall to 76.2 percent in

Rosser.

Crandall, Combine and Scurry did report

less revenue for the month of September than

a year ago.

Kaufman’s September rebate for $224,758

is up 11 percent from September 2015

when $202,501 was generated. For the year

Kaufman has banked $2,025,181 compared

to $1,824,338 through September 2015. The

$200,000 gain is also at 11 percent.

The September report from the comptrol-

ler’s office represents primarily taxes on re-

tail sales collected by merchants in July and

reported to the state in August.

The state collects 6.25 percent on all sales,

and local cities collect an additional 1 to 2

percent.

Kaufman County cities that collect 2 per-

cent include Kaufman, Forney, Terrell, Ma-

bank and Crandall.

Kemp collects 1.75 percent. Post Oak Bend,

Combine and Talty collect 1.5 percent and

the rest collect 1 percent.

Terrell received $789,177 in September,

barely ahead of the $786,939 in September

2015. For the year, Terrell is up by 14.46 per-

cent to $7,446,785 compared to $6,505,682 a

year ago.

Sewer

contract

to riseBY PH I L MA J O R

The fee to renew an annual

maintenance contract for On

Site Sewer Facilities is going

up for Kaufman County resi-

dents.The fee, which was set at

$10, is being raised to $25.

And that still makes it a bar-

gain compared to area coun-

ties.Residents who have septic

systems that require annual

maintenance must register

their contracts with private

firms, which are maintained

in a county database.

The contracts are handled

by the county public works

department, which is also

responsible for inspecting

new systems when they are

installed.

Kaufman County commis-

sioners approved the increase

Monday, effective Jan. 1.

Commissioners held the

second of two public hear-

ings on the proposed county

property tax rate. The rate is

going up by 1.25 cents and

will be voted on Monday to

take effect Oct. 1.

The increase is to repay

transportation bonds ap-

proved by voters in 2013. The

new tax rate is 58.87 cents per

$100 valuation. No residents

spoke at the hearing.

Commissioners agreed to

seek a $275,000 grant through

the Texas Community Block

Grant program.

The longtime grant pro-

gram was only recently made

available to counties for road

and drainage repairs. Should

the county be successful, it

would be responsible for a 5

percent match ($13,750).

Museum lands another trainer


Vivienne Taylor listened for years to her

father’s stories about the flying school

in America where he trained to fly mis-

sions for England during World War II.

Her father, Joseph Whalley, was a member of Course 26

and trained on the AT-6 at the No. 1 British Flying Training School in Ter-

rell during the war.

Whalley was one of more than 2,000 Royal Air Force cadets who ven-

tured to America to learn how to fly and then return to England to fight

against the Germans.

Vivienne, who is from Kent, England, said her parents often went back

to the states for the course reunions after World War II.

So she and her husband, Michael, decided to come to the states. And

one of their stops was at the museum, which has an enormous amount

of history about the cadets, training, the AT-6, clothing, weapons, maps

and pictures.

“It makes me cry,” Vivienne said about seeing the history depicted

in the museum on Wednesday. “The [AT-6, nicknamed “Miss Pauline”]

brought back memories. It is what my father flew.”

But the couple, which met the museum board’s president, Rudy Bowl-

ing, while touring the museum, was astonished to see what had just ar-

rived.

Bowling took them to the museum’s other hangar where a Provost, a

British trainer, was being unloaded.

“It is fortunate,” Michael said. He had never seen the British trainer

before. “We weren’t expecting to see this.”

The Provost was donated to the museum by Darryl and Gene Cope-

land, according to No. 1 BFTS Museum board director Jim Evans.

The plane, XM461 T3A, has traveled a long way before arriving in the

states, and then Texas.

It was delivered to Shawbury, England, on May 24, 1960. Nearly three

years later, on Jan. 14, 1963, it was put into storage.

M. Legend Brown’s new movie

BY GA RY L I N D S L E Y

Silk edged his sporty

white Mercedes under the

State Highway 34 bridge, out

of sight from the traffic pass-

ing by on U.S. Highway 80.

Getting out of the car, his

nerves on edge, Silk lit a cigar

as his right-hand man, Omar,

got out of the passenger seat.

A gun was visible in

Omar’s waistband as he and

Silk waited — waited for their

drug deal to go down. Omar

anxiously puffed on his cigar.

They did not have to wait

for long. A motorcycle roared

into view and drove under

the overpass, followed by a

Chevrolet.

The motorcyclist was

joined by two men from the

Chevrolet, one decked out in

cowboy duds — Boss Hog.

Omar went to the pas-

senger side of the Mercedes

and leaned inside. When he

did not immediately reap-

pear, the trio got anxious and

brandished their guns. Silk

pulled his out as well and

told them to chill.

He then called to Omar

and asked what was taking

so long.Omar emerged moments

later with a duffle bag and

he went to the trio and ex-

changed the bag for a case.

The motorcyclist got back

on his chopper while Boss

Hogg and his partner got

back into the Chevrolet and

left.The drug deal was not

real, but it was a scene from

the newest M. Legend Brown

faith-based film, “A Hear

That Forgives.”

The film, written by Ken

Jenkins, is being directed

by Brown and produced b

It stars Malik Whitfie

insidetoday Terrell wins bi-district title with win over Celina


Terrell had outstanding

bench production in a 67-53

bi-district championship

win over Celina on Tues-

day night at J.J. Pearce High

School in Richardson.

The win advances Ter-

rell (17-13, 11-1) to the area

round of the class 4A boys

basketball playoffs where it

will face Argyle. Argyle (27-4,

9-1) defeated Dallas Wilmer-

Hutchins on Tuesday night to

advance.

Terrell’s five seniors,

Keyontae Brownlow, Ter-

rance Boyd, Omari Robin-

son, Alex Mata and Jarvis

Walker combined to score 50

points against Celina.

“It was a good game. It was

a good game for these kids

to come in here to get a win.

These kids are a part of the

change and hopefully we can

still build off of it once they

leave,” Mason said.

Terrell’s bench scored

17 points with sophomore

guard Khars Montgomery

scoring 10 of those points.

“Most of these boys have

been playing junior varsity

like Pipkins, Montgomery

and Burns and they came in

and did good stuff. It’s good

for Terrell in the future,”

Mason said. “We got in foul

trouble with Jarvis Walker

but Montgomery stepped up

real big for us. That’s what it’s

all about, having someone

step up.”Mata led the team in scor-

ing with 16 and Brownlow

had 14 points.

Terrell scored consistently

throughout the game but its

damage on Celina was done

in the second quarter as the

Tigers outscored Celina 18-8.

The first quarter was much

closer with five lead changes.

Terrell went on a 10-0 run

with the score tied at 12-12

to take a 22-12 lead midway

through the second quarter.

Terrell took a 34-20 lead

into halftime.

Celina put up a great fight

in the third quarter as they

outscored Terrell 21-16 be-

hind a great showing from

Celina freshman No. 5 Kar-

son Stastny.

“They played well. No. 5

is a freshman and he’s tough.

He did some good stuff,” Ma-

son said.
