The Calhoun County Inde-pendent School District board of trustees announced Thurs-day that Dr. James Cowley is the new superintendent of schools.

The board officially approved Cowley, who was the lone fi-nalist, during a special-called meeting.

“The board is proud to wel-come Dr. Cowley to Calhoun County ISD,” said board presi-dent Steve Marwitz in a district release. “Dr. Cowley’s profes-sional experiences and vision makes him the right choice to lead our schools.”

Cowley plans to relocate to the area and begin his work with the district on Jan. 1, 2015. His contract ends Dec. 31, 2017. His annual salary is $145,000.

“I am honored to be selected as superintendent for Calhoun County ISD and look forward to becoming a part of the com-munity,” Cowley said in the release. “I’m eager to begin working with teachers, staff members and administrators to provide the best education pos-sible for our students and meet the educational expectations of our community stakeholders.”

The process to fill the su-perintendent position began in September after the board hired an executive recruiting firm to conduct a comprehen-sive search. Staff and commu-nity members provided feed-back into the search in October and the board interviewed the five most-qualified applicants in November.

Cowley has served as super-intendent of Linden-Kildare Consolidated Independent School District since 2011. He has also served as assistant su-

Teams of three gathered food for the needy Monday evening during the Annual Christmas Food Rally at HEB sponsored by the Port Lavaca Noonday Lions Club.

Teams who represented busi-nesses, clubs and civic and church organizations came dressed as reindeer, elves and in their pajamas, while others dec-orated their shopping cart, all in an effort to benefit the Calhoun County Community Ministries food pantry.

The store closed at 10 p.m. for the event as teams began to ar-rive.

Each team was given the “shopping list” in an envelope, but they could not open it until instructed to by club president Mark Dieringer, who read the rules over the intercom.

“Some of you teams have been here before and you know the fun of this, but some are new teams,” Dieringer said. “You must have someone in charge of the basket at all times because you never know if something has been added or taken away.

“Hopefully, this will be the first year that we will go through the list without any changes. Don’t get mad or angry about a change,” he said.

The Darlin’ Does team made up of Candace Taylor, Tanya Boerm, and Kim Ross, all of Port Lavaca, who represented Marvelous Gardens, prepared Candace Taylor, left, and Tonya Boerm, both of Port Lavaca, compare their portion of the “shopping list” Monday evening as part of

The Port Lavaca Police De-partment is investigating an abandoning or endangering a child incident where a Port Lavaca minor was purportedly given synthetic marijuana by an adult Dec. 6 at the Sands Mo-tel.

PLPD Det. Javier Ramos, who does narcotics and gang affiliation investigations, said he has four persons of interest, all adults who either gave the 11-year-old male synthetic mar-ijuana, or who were present at the time.

“We can’t give out names because of the escape factor. They’ll leave town, but we are determined to establish the mo-tive,” Ramos said. “We believe a party was held at this residence where a female told a child to take a hit of synthetic marijua-

na. After that, he felt deranged. He tried to leave and the female tried to take him back in. That’s not good.”

“I have been conducting in-tensive investigations of at least four suspects. That arrest is coming,” Ramos said.

According to the PLPD inci-dent report, that Saturday, at 1:45 p.m. PLPD Patrol Officer Lance Orsak responded to a call in reference to a child request-ing help.

A local man reported the inci-dent after observing the child’s behavior.

According to Orsak’s report, the child was screaming and rolling back and forth on the ground, in a panic and request-ing EMS. Orsak noticed invol-untary eye movement began to intensify as the child spoke to him and he had increased dif-

No injuries were sustained after a vehicle was submerged in the bay Thursday morning.

At approximately 11:04 a.m. Thursday the Port Lavaca Po-lice Department was dispatched to the Bayfront Peninsula boat ramp for a vehicle submerged in the water, said police sergeant Eric Salles.

Upon arrival at the boat ramp officers saw the roof of a vehicle above the water line next to the dock. The Port Lavaca Fire De-partment arrived on scene and pulled the vehicle back onto the ramp. It was verified that no pas-sengers were inside, Salles said.

The vehicle was a black 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix registered to a Jeanetta Lewis, he said.

Lewis left the scene prior to police arrival but was located using a cell phone ping. An of-ficer was dispatched to the area and made contact with Lewis who verified driving the vehicle into the water, Salles said.

There were no injuries re-ported and no citations were is-sued. The investigation is now closed, Salles said.

What is your favorite part of Christmas?

Brandon Guevara“I get a lot of presents.”

Lupe Garcia“When it snows.”

Kolton Taylor“Sometimes I go to Houston and we go over there and play in the snow.”

Aidyn Shedd“Santa coming and getting Christmas presents.”

McKenlie Frankson“Santa bringing me presents.”

Gabriella Tims“My favorite part of Christmas is Santa coming and getting presents and opening the presents.”

Mason Rodriguez“When Santa comes and he gives us presents and we get to open the presents.”

Ava Manning“My elf named Buddy and the presents that Santa brings us, me and my sister.”

Izaiah Cabrales“Getting a lot of presents. I get to play with them all I want to.”

Wave reporter Kayla Meyer asked several first grade students at HJM Elementary School, “What is your favorite part of Christmas?” Here are their answers. This is the second installment of a question and answer series of local elemen-

tary school students leading up to Christmas.

for their first food rally by mak-ing their costumes, which con-sisted of brown sweat shirts with a fuzzy middle, fleece ant-lers and ears made of burlap, painted faces, tinsel boas and a cotton tail attached to the shirts with a red bow.

“I’m excited,” Taylor said. “We saw it mentioned on Face-book. We have seen pictures of it in the past. We decided to do it. Lately, our community has been stepping up and getting more involved in things. Doing any-thing to help people during the holidays is important. It’s for a good cause.“

“We have done fun runs and all of our kids are in sports. We are very competitive no matter what it is,” Ross said.

Antlers came off when the rally began. The three women tore the list into thirds like they were instructed, while Taylor stayed with the basket.

“I’m more aggressive so I’m in charge of the basket,” she said.

Once the teams were given the go ahead, they made a mad dash for the aisles, splitting up with a strip of the list in one hand, while grabbing items with the other in search of 31 specific items. Some members walked briskly while others broke out into a sprint. Team members found each other via whoops or hollers, while others could be heard saying, “Marco, Polo,” their destination—check-out lane No. 2. Their goal: Get through the line first with the correct brand and sized items.

At one point, two members of the Darlin’ Does were stalled in the condiments aisle behind another team, but they gently scooted around them.

“Candace!,” Boerm yelled re-peatedly, louder each time as she ran to find her teammate, with two items in hand, finally find-ing Taylor in the shampoo aisle.

Ross found them and said, “I need help. I can’t find the pan-cake syrup.”

First, second and third place trophies were awarded. The Darlin’ Does did not place, but the team received the Best-dressed Team trophy.

“It was a blast,” Boerm said.“I could not find a bag of

chicken,” Taylor said. “We didn’t communicate

enough,” Boerm said. “We should have said we needed help more. We will definitely bring scissors next time (to cut the list into thirds).”

All three agreed they would be back next year.

Donna Davis, secretary of the Port Lavaca Noonday Lions Club, of Port Lavaca, said 17 teams participated, each mak-ing a $100-donation ($80 grocer-ies) including the application fee.

“It was awesome,” Davis said.First place went to Diane’s

Divas patient financial services from Memorial Medical Center made up of Adrianna Galvan and Faren Campos, both of Port Lavaca, and Misty Passmore, of Seadrift.

“Our winning strategy was to beat the other hospital teams,” Galvan said. “We came prepared with a pair of scissors and high-lighters.”

It was the team’s second time to compete with the same mem-bers.

“The challenge was making sure we got the right sizes,” Passmore said.

All said they will compete next year.

“This food is going to families who need it,” Galvan said. “It’s always nice to help out those in need during this time of year.”

Second place went to First National Bank and third went to Heavenly Angels of First United Methodist Church.

Pantry volunteers began sort-ing and shelving the haul Tues-day morning and were done by noon calling in extra volunteers to help.

Ashleigh Gottschalt, of Port Lavaca, who is the CCCM ad-ministrator, was pleased with the truckloads of food the pan-try received Monday evening.

“It is extremely helpful,” Gott-schalt said. “Once the holidays come around we get frantic over here because our reserves get low.”

AUSTIN — Gov. Rick Perry on Dec. 3 ordered state agencies to check the employment eligibility of current and prospective employees by using E-Verify, an Internet-based system that allows employers to determine the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.

Perry also urged Congress to pass legislation “to provide the resources necessary to secure our southern border.” Perry’s announcements come in the wake of President Obama’s executive action on immigration on Nov. 20. At the time, in a national broadcast, Obama said he would take various actions because of the protracted unwillingness of Congress to pass an immigration reform bill that addresses the legal status of millions of undocumented workers employed in Texas and other states by American business owners. A White House news release lists three elements of the president’s executive actions:

1. Cracking down on illegal immigration at the border to increase the chances that anyone attempting to cross illegally will be caught and sent back; continuing the surge of resources that effectively reduced the number of unaccompanied children crossing the border illegally last summer; and centralizing border security command-and-control.

2. Deporting felons, not families to focus on the deportation of people who threaten national security and public safety; and directing immigration enforcement to place anyone suspected of terrorism, violent criminals, gang members and recent border crossers at the top of the deportation priority list.

3. Accountability through criminal background checks and taxes, to hold accountable those undocumented immigrants who have lived in the United States for more than five years and are parents of U.S. citizens or Lawful Permanent Residents.

Meanwhile, Perry said, “It’s clear now more than ever that Congress must finally pass a bill that dedicates the necessary resources to securing our border, once and for all. Without border security, immigration reform is a fruitless exercise.”

States challenge president

Texas was joined by 16 other states on Dec. 3 in filing a court challenge to President Obama’s executive actions on immigration that he announced last month.

Texas Attorney General and governor-elect Greg Abbott, who filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court Southern District of Texas, wrote that the U.S. Constitution’s Take Care Clause “limits the President’s power and ensures that he will faithfully execute Congress’s laws – not rewrite them under the guise of ‘prosecutorial discretion.’”

Also claimed is that the Department of Homeland Security’s directive was issued without following the Administrative Procedure Act’s rule-making guidelines and awards “legal benefits to

individuals whose conduct contradicts the priorities of Congress.”

States joining Texas in the lawsuit are Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

Task force issues reportGov. Perry on Dec. 4

announced the Texas Task Force on Infectious Disease Preparedness and Response has issued a 174-page report regarding the state’s capabilities to prepare for and respond to infectious diseases, such as the Ebola virus and other emerging pathogens.

Examples of the report’s findings and recommendations:

-Education of diverse health care professionals is essential for the initial identification, assessment, triage, care and isolation of patients with Ebola or other uncommon but high-consequence infectious diseases.

-Consideration should be given to the care, monitoring and disposition of domestic animals, especially pets.

-The state and external partners should develop a “mobile app” for real-time collection and monitoring of temperature and symptom data.

-Establishment of bio-containment treatment facilities and a pediatric unit specializing in the care of infants and children with Ebola and other high consequence infectious diseases.

Former Senate secretary dies

Betty King, who served as secretary of the Texas Senate from 1977 to 2001, died Dec. 1 in Austin. She was 89.

First hired as a House Appropriations Committee clerk in 1947, her patience, grace and unflappability were soon known and long appreciated, until her retirement in 2001.

Plans are for a private burial in the Texas State Cemetery.

Kolkorst wins Senate runoff

State Rep. Lois W. Kolkhorst, R-Brenham, last week won the runoff election for the Senate District 18 seat and will succeed Sen. Glenn Hegar, R-Katy, who was elected state comptroller in the November general election.

Kolkhorst, who chairs the House Public Health committee, has served as a member of the Texas House of Representatives since 2001.

Perry directs state agencies to screen employees

Two well-respected officials memorialized in Texas Senate

Two of the best-respected officials of the Texas Senate in the last half century, and perhaps ever, were recently memorialized in that chamber on successive days.

On Friday, Dec. 5, there was a well-attended ceremony honoring former state Sen. Ray Farabee. He died Nov. 20, two days before his 82nd birthday.

On Saturday, Dec. 6, the other Senate fixture, Betty King, was honored. She died Dec. 1 – four days after her 89th birthday – after a long illness.

Farabee, of Wichita Falls, was elected to the Senate in 1974. He quickly became the go-to fix-it guy, a Democrat who worked across the aisle with Republican colleagues. He was nicknamed “Fairabee” long before he retired from the Senate in 1988 to become Vice Chancellor and General Counsel of The University of Texas System.

Former Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby, the Senate’s presiding officer for Farabee’s entire time there, said “He never stopped caring about the poorest of his constituents.”

King, known as the “Gracious Lady of the Capitol,” wasn’t a senator. But after 30 years working in various state roles, the Senate elected her Secretary of the Senate in 1977. She served 24 years – the longest anyone ever did – before retiring in 2001.

During her time as secretary of the 31-member body, she served 97 senators,

under five different presiding officers.

Gov. Rick Perry, who in 1999 and 2000 presided over the Senate as lieutenant governor, said, “Of all the people I have been privileged to work with, Betty King stands out above almost all as a selfless servant.

“She displayed a sweetness of heart few possess and an uncanny ability to manage a chamber full of mighty egos and make each feel they were the most important in the midst.” Perry said. “(My wife) Anita and I were blessed to count her as friend and confidant.”

Perry respected her so much that the former Texas Aggie yell leader even joined in when King’s daughter asked the crowd to honor her mom – a hard-core Texas Longhorn fan – by singing the school’s song, “The Eyes of Texas.”

Perry even extended his index and little fingers to form the trademark “Hook ‘em Horns” sign.

King’s daughter, Kevin Ann Marcyes, who has no brothers or sisters, said it didn’t feel that way.

“Technically, I’m an only child,” she said. “But I feel like I’m surrounded by sisters and brothers.” Her mom, she said, adopted everyone.

“All Mom ever wanted to do was help others,” her daughter said. “She never left anyone behind. . . . She was the one we could all count on – no exceptions.”

The Senate in 2001 re-

named the meeting room adjacent to the Secretary of the Senate’s office the Betty King Committee Room.

“Mrs. King,” said Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston, who officially served for six days as the Senate’s presiding officer while the Senate chose a successor to Perry when he became governor, “we named that room after you because we believe in what you stand for.”

Farabee also had a room named for him, though it was in the building housing the public radio and TV stations at the University of Texas.

Farabee and his second wife, Mary Margaret, who he married in 1991 after his first wife Helen died of cancer in 1988, both were influential at the public media outlets. She was a development director at the television station KLRU. He was the founding chairman of the KUT-FM Advisory Board.

The Newsmaker Control Room at KUT is named in their honor, in recognition of making the KUT Public Media Studios a reality.

Farabee’s first wife Helen, the mother of his two sons Steve and David (who served six terms in the Texas House beginning in 1989, the year she died) was also a force in doing good for others.

She was instrumental in pushing the Mental Health and Mental Retardation Commission into a much more active operation in the 1980s. Some of the facilities in the

Wichita Falls area are named after her.

She was the first director of the Center for Public Policy Priorities, that advocates for the needy during legislative deliberations.

Ray Farabee served on the CPPP board after Helen’s death. Scott McCown, a former state district judge in Travis County who succeeded Helen Farabee as head of the CPPP, said Ray, in all his endeavors, “was not so much a do-gooder as a do-righter.”

Texas Monthly magazine named him to its Ten Best legislators list five times. In one write-up, it described him as “the complete senator, operates on a different level from anyone else, even the good ones; acts not as representative of a single district but as a trustee for an entire state.”

Ray Farabee and Betty King were rare folks.

The atmosphere was solemn.

Some shed quiet tears while others were sobbing and looking to each other for hard to reach comfort. Rows of generic white pillar candles lined the long tables on each side of the Bauer Community Center at the 13th annual Tree of Angels ceremony. The focal point of the huge, chilly center was a simple tree, a Christmas tree to remember those who fell victim to violent crime.

This was not my first time to photograph the Tree of Angels ceremony. I have been to numerous events since I began my career at The Port Lavaca Wave. However, this time, as I stood on the outskirts of the room and looked at so many different faces who all shared a common bond, I felt a wave of compassion for those in the room.

I felt it was impossible to know how anyone of these people felt unless one was seated right next to them. My eyes scrolled the room and I saw familiar faces and some brand-new ones. I could only assume that some held new grief, as it was apparent when tears fell from their swollen eyes. Others were already numb from time that, many say, heals all wounds but never completely does.

Rows of candles gently flickered along each side of the room. Though they all looked exactly the same, each tiny flame was burning to tell a

different story. Some adorned a photograph of the loved one it represented. Some of those photographs were old and yellowed with age. Some were brand new with colors still bright and vibrant. I could only hope that with time, the memories that flickered in those white candles would not become jagged as the edges of many of the photos.

I stood in the back of the community center as 181 names were slowly read aloud. These names belonged to people who left behind families that will never feel the touch of their hand or the warmth of their breath in this lifetime.

No, I have never been touched by a violent crime and I thank God for that. However, a certain sadness filled me this time like no other as I watched so many saddened faces in the room. It is the Christmas season and I looked around at all of the people in that room who would endure what is supposed to be a happy time of

year without a loved one. These faces made me

reflect on my own life and my own choices made recently. I thought back on the silly and insignificant things that seemed so dire a few days before. Suddenly, they became simply so trivial and I felt ashamed of myself. Why? Because I do not know how it feels to have someone stand at the edge of the room and photograph me as memories fall from my eyes. My Christmas tree embraces ornaments that represent happy times. I do not know what it is like to adorn an ordinary, artificial Christmas tree with an angel ornament in memory of a loved one with a room full of strangers that share a common bond. I do not know what it is like to have a single, white pillar candle placed in front of a mere photograph to perhaps represent only a tiny flicker of life taken away by another.

As I stood there, I wondered how I would feel if I was seated in that room

instead of taking photographs. I wondered what wouldn’t I do to go back in time to realize and teach others that some things are just not worth arguing over? What wouldn’t I do to just go back a few moments to remind someone that I loved them? What wouldn’t I do to realize that friends and family are suppose to be everything in life? What wouldn’t I do to realize all these things before it was too late?

Minister’sCorner

Some things are predictableBy MIKE GRESHAMFIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF PL

It is that time of year again. I know what you think I am talking about. It is the time of year for Christmas celebra-tions. That is right, but it is not what I am talking about. It is the time of the year for Christmas shopping and Christmas par-ties. That is right, but it is not what I am talking about. It is the time of the year for eat-ing too much and adding those extra holiday pounds. All that does is to help confirm that your New Year’s resolution will be to lose weight, but it is not what I am talking about.

What am I talking about? It is the time of the year when I hear my wife say, “I want to watch a good Christmas movie.” Sure enough, if you turn on several of the chan-nels on television you can see a fuzzy, feel-good Christmas movie. There are some really exceptional ones out there, but not most of them.

The fact is that most of the Christmas movies that I have paid any attention to are predictable. You can watch the movie for about ten to fifteen minutes and figure out how it is going to end. There is a little romance, there is a little ten-sion, but in the end everything works out, the boy gets the girl or the girl gets the boy, and everybody lives happily ever after. I guess there is nothing really wrong with the whole thing being predictable.

Speaking of predictable, so was the coming of Jesus the first Christmas. When the angel announced Jesus’ upcom-ing birth to Joseph, he quoted Isaiah 7:14. “22So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: 23‘Behold, the virgin shall be

with child, and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel.’”

When the Magi asked Herod where the Christ would be born, Herod consulted the religious leaders of Jerusalem. They knew without hav-ing to look it up that the Old Testament prophet, Micah, had predicted that he would be born in Bethlehem. As a matter of fact, Old Testament passage after passage is quoted in the New Testament to demonstrate that the coming of Jesus was indeed predictable. It was going to happen. God did not tell us when, but he did tell us with all certainty that he would send a savior into the world.

It was predictable, but exciting. God told us that he was going to do it, and then he did it. God told us that he would send a savior, and then did it. God told us that he would send one who would change the world, and then did it. God told us that he would give hope to the hopeless, and then did it. We could have known how the story would unfold, but it is exciting to watch as it did.

This Christmas season, thank God for his fulfilled promises. Thank him that he provided salvation and hope through Jesus Christ. Thank him that what he said that he was going to do, he did.

Let me encourage each of you to be faithful to a church in our community. There are many excellent places to wor-ship in this Christmas season and we encourage you to be a part of one of them.

EVELYN SALENA

ficulty speaking.EMS arrived and transported

the child to Memorial Medical Center, where he was placed in the trauma unit and held for ob-servation.

EMS notified the child’s mother Kristi Gonzales, of Port Lavaca, who lives on Bauer Street.

“He was going to pick up a phone charger from his cousin’s house. He was supposed to come back within the hour,” Gonza-les said. “I got a call from the ambulance at 2 p.m. saying my child was poisoned. I received a call from an officer that he had been smoking marijuana. That had never been a problem. I was confused by the whole thing.”

According to the report, as the child approached the Sands Motel, he was approached by an adult female whom he knew because she once resided in the same room as his cousin. The fe-male told him his cousin no lon-ger resided at the motel and told him to go with her to a different residence on Main Street where other adults and one other child were present.

In the report, the child stated that as he watched television, the adults began to smoke what he described as synthetic mari-juana.

Police showed the child a photograph of several different packages of synthetic marijua-na, and he remembered seeing a similar bag inside the apart-ment.

The child said he was tapped on the shoulder by the female who told him to “take a puff” of what she was smoking. He

took one hit and immediately “began to feel weird…numb as if he were in a video game.” He said the female advised him to get up so they could leave. The child stated he could not feel his hands and had trouble opening the door. He tried to walk down the stairs and fell. The female attempted to pick him up and take him back upstairs as he tried to get away.

He stated he began to feel vi-brations and began to run “as if something were after him.” He then saw the reporting party at a nearby shop who notified the police.

That Monday, the child was able to identify the female from photographs.

Gonzales wants justice for her son and a conviction for those who offered him the syn-thetic marijuana.

“I would like to press charges on all four of them. No one in the house called for help for him,” she said. “The ER doctor said he could have gone into cardiac arrest or suffered brain damage. That is why I am trying to press charges on every adult who was there because someone could have stopped him.”

Ramos is determined to get a conviction especially now that synthetic marijuana is pack-

aged to attract minors.“An 11-year-old is not capable

of making his own decisions. I told the chief (PLPD) I need to get involved in this. Synthetic marijuana has a chemical that gives people seizures,” he said.

Recently, Ramos was involved in a drug bust in Port Lavaca where approximately 137 bags of synthetic marijuana were found in the trunk of a vehicle during a routine traffic stop.

In a play on childhood charac-ters, some synthetic marijuana packaging has Tokemon instead of Pokemon. The packaging says, “Smoke them all” instead of “Catch them all.”

“I’ve seen packages with dwarfs from Snow White,” Ra-mos said. “I’ve worked in nar-cotics all this time and I have not seen packaging geared toward children like this until now.”

Ramos said he has received daily calls about this case from concerned citizens.

“A lot of people in the com-munity are very upset,” he said. “Rest assured we will get a law-ful arrest out of this. It’s ridicu-lous what adults will do to chil-dren today. Hopefully, we will get the DA to jump on this and get a conviction.”

County commissioners set 2015 salaries, allowances and holidaysBy JAY WORKMANPORT LAVAcA WAVe

Calhoun County Commissioners’ Court took care of some end-of-year housekeeping Thursday at a short regular meeting.

The commissioners set 2015 salaries, allowances and holidays in one measure.

Alex Hernandez, county court at law judge, is the highest paid official with a base salary of $159,893 plus another $4,957 for juvenile court. Mileage reimbursement is paid to constables, the nuisance officer and the county judge at

$285 every two weeks. Justices of the peace get $230. The four precinct commissioners, who are furnished county pickup trucks, get $67 every two weeks for cell phone allowance. County workers will have 11 days off for holidays.

Commissioners scheduled their regular meetings at the courthouse for the second and fourth Thursday of every month. Their last meeting this year, however, will be Dec. 22 because of the Christmas holiday.

An annual agreement with the Calhoun County Appraisal

District was approved for the assessment and collection of property taxes. Another annual contract was approved with the Harris County Institute of Forensic Science to provide backup autopsies if needed.

Measures to declare broken or unlocated inventory items in various departments as surplus or salvage were approved.

Commissioners also accepted a donation from the Johnson Foundation to the Port Alto/Olivia Volunteer Fire Department of a 2014 Dodge 3500 diesel brush truck valued at $42,000. A 1997 truck used by

the VFD was declared surplus.A lone bid to supply drugs

for the county indigent health program from the HEB pharmacy was accepted. The bid calls for 76 percent off on generic drugs and an 18.5 percent discount on name brand drugs, plus a $1.89 handling fee on each prescription.

The only bid for fuel for the next 30 days was accepted from Diebel Oil Co. at $2.73 for diesel and $2.27 for regular unleaded gasoline.

Precinct 3 Commissioner Neil Fritsch did not attend the meeting.

Changes on deck for Wave supplementsBy KAYLA MEYERPORT LAVAcA WAVe

Changes are headed to sever-al publications inserted in The Port Lavaca Wave.

Athlon Media Group re-cently announced that it has acquired Parade and Dash magazines from Advanced Publications. American Pro-file, which has been inserted once per week into The Port Lavaca Wave, will now move to a twice-monthly publication.

“American Profile is chang-ing its model,” said Tania French, editor and publisher

of The Port Lavaca Wave. “Ath-lon Media Group, which is the parent company, has acquired Parade Magazine and is chang-ing its market picture. In the course of that, American Pro-file, which has been a weekly supplement to The Port Lavaca Wave since 2003, will become a semi-monthly publication.”

The last issue of American Profile for 2014 is scheduled to run in the Dec. 13 edition of The Wave. American Profile will begin its new schedule Jan. 4, 2015.

In addition to changes with American Profile, The Wave

will no longer insert Relish into its newspaper.

The Wave will add two sup-plements in place of Relish, which are Spry Living and Ath-lon Sports. The additions will take place beginning in Janu-ary 2015, French said.

According to an AMG press release, Spry Living is a health and wellness publication while Athlon Sports will remain the company’s sports-focused mag-azine. Both will be monthly publications, French said.

“We are pleased that Athlon Media Group has selected our market for these two maga-

zines,” French added. The AMG press release also

stated that there will be higher quality photography will be added to all publications.

“These acquisitions have given us the unique opportuni-ty to strengthen our offerings to our newspaper partners, who remain the most trusted source of news in their com-munities,” said Chuck Allen, president and chief executive officer of AMG. “In this chal-lenging marketplace, we re-main committed to providing the quality content they expect from Athlon.”

Memorial Medical Center earns awardWAVE STAFF REPORT

Memorial Medical Center announced it has been recognized by iVantage Health Analytics for overall excellence in quality, reflecting top quartile performance among all acute care hospitals in the nation.

“We are honored to have achieved this recognition. Our continued achievements in the areas of quality confirms that the effort we put in to quality and patient safety are worth it, because we are seeing significant results in the positive outcomes of our patients.” said Erin Clevenger, CNO and director of quality at Memorial Medical Center. “Again, the way we see it is that our patients should have access to the same safe, evidence based treatment whether you are at MMC or at a larger cities

hospital. Being recognized as performing in the top 25 percent of hospitals in the nation shows that our patients can feel safe and confident in the treatment they receive here at Memorial Medical Center.”

The Hospital Strength INDEX™ is the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assessment of hospital performance in the United States – capturing more than 4,000 acute care hospitals including over 1,300 rural and critical access hospitals. Leveraging data from public data sources (e.g. Medicare cost reports, Medicare claims data, and hospital compare), INDEX aggregates data from 66 individual metrics into three major categories and 10 pillars, including population health, to derive a single strength overall rating for each facility.

“Despite the many challenges rural hospitals face in today’s healthcare environment, they remain a vital and integral component of the community,” said Michael Topchik, senior vice president of iVantage Health Analytics. “The top quartile performers should be viewed as true market leaders. Through their commitment to performance analysis and improvement, they have established a blueprint for sustainability which other rural hospitals can follow.”

“Proven standards of care can save lives,” said Clevenger. “We will continue to enhance our quality improvement efforts through our collaboration with partners to ensure that every person gets the right care at the right time, every time.”

perintendent and curriculum coordinator for Sunnyvale In-dependent School District. He was previously an elementary principal, high school principal and director of assessment and technology at Saltillo Indepen-dent School District.

Prior to Cowley’s administra-tive experience, he obtained 15 years of classroom teaching ex-perience in junior high science. Additionally, he was an adjunct professor at Texas A&M Uni-versity-Commerce from 2001-05 and an adjunct professor for Dallas Baptist University from 2012-14.

Cowley holds a Bachelor of Science in agriculture educa-tion and agri-business, a Mas-ter of Education with a minor in earth science and a doctorate in educational administration

with an emphasis in elemen-tary education. Cowley served as president of the Texas Rural Education Association in 2010-11 and was chosen as the TREA Superintendent of the Year for 2012.

His wife of 26 years, Carol, has been in education 30 years and is the lead counselor at Sulphur Springs High School. His daughter, Jessica, is a se-nior at Mississippi State Uni-versity majoring in animal and dairy science with an empha-sis in veterinary medicine. His son, Jarred, is a sophomore ac-counting major at Mississippi State.

Cowley’s parents were both educators in Texas public schools and his father, Harold Cowley, is a former superinten-dent.

Education was a priority in the Cowley home, he said.

“My dad has been my best mentor. I had mom as my ac-counting teacher. My parents were first generation college students,” he said. “Education has always been very impor-tant for us in our lives.”

Cowley did not start off wanting to be an educator. His first career choice was to be-come a veterinarian.

Becoming a superintendent may not have started off as a long-standing goal, but Cowley was prepared for the role.

“I didn’t necessarily follow in my father’s footsteps, but I knew what the life was like. I lived it before I got the pay-check,” he said.

WAVE STAFF REPORT

Seadrift 418th grade B 17

The Travis 8th grade B team fell to Seadrift 41-17 Monday night.

“The boys started out slow and were down 16-2 at the half,” said coach Matthew Searcy.

“The boys played with excellent effort, hustle, and determination but unfortunately were unable to come through and get the win.”

Logan Evans scored nine for the Fiddlers and Jose “Pepe” Perez dropped in eight points. The 8th grade B team

travels to Victoria Monday to take on the Patti Welder Panthers at 5:30 p.m.

“Our team put together a complete game tonight,” said Seadrift coach Robert Anderson.

“We played very well on defense and offensively executed our press and fast break with excellent teamwork.”

The Travis Fiddler 7th grade B team defeated Seadrift Monday night 18-6.

“The Fiddlers defeated Seadrift in an exciting game in which we overcame the Pirates in the third quarter. We got great efforts from Coewin Boerm, Eric Tijerina and Eron Lozano,” said coach Travis Tino Mendoza.

The 7th grade B team is now 2-0-1 on the season and faces Patti Welder Monday in Victoria.

“It was a very close game,” said Seadrift coach Adam Sternadel.

“There was a stretch in the third quarter where we began to turn the ball over and Travis scored about 10 points in two minutes. That was the difference in the game. The good thing is we are getting better every week and if they keep working hard good things will happen.”
