Skaters have been enjoying the new facilities at Flournoy Park for nearly a year now.

Thanks to work by the city and many of the orga-nizations around town, the park features a concrete skate area, garden with walking path, playscape for youngsters and bathrooms.

Flournoy Park is located just north of downtown between North St. Mary’s and North Washington streets, the two, busiest north-south thoroughfares in the city.

The skating area is in the shape of a B with ramps and rails for skaters. Beside it is a flower garden filled with numerous flowering plants. And not far from there is a play area for younger visitors.

Flournoy Park a skaters paradise

BAM modern classics exhibit open through Dec. 28HOUSTON –

The works of three contem-porary artists, all considered modern mas-ters of classical style, are now being exhibited at the Beeville Art Museum. An opening recep-tion was held Sept. 28, and the exhibit will con-tinue to be on dis-play through Dec. 28.

The three paint-ers selected for the exhibition are Christopher St. Leger, Ellen Tanner and Jean Carruthers Wetta.

The painters work in oil and watercol-or to produce new interpretations of classic subjects in landscape, still-life and portrait.

According to Tracy Saucier, director of the

Beeville Art Museum, “We try to bring a variety of art to the museum—every-thing from more tradi-

tional art forms to art cars and on-site installa-tions—but for our fall show,

we decided to get back to the basics, with a slight twist.”

Christopher St.

Leger, an artist living in Lockhart who creates “snapshots in paint,” pro-duces urban landscapes in soft, pastel watercol-ors. His works, both real-istic and surreal, feature skateboard street culture and people on the move.

Artist Ellen Tanner offers a different take on the traditional portrait, embellishing her histori-cal portrayals of famous women with colorful and unexpected details.

Artist Jean Carruthers Wetta presents a wide range of still life paint-ings, some with familiar objects, others not-so-familiar, with unexpect-

ed interpretations.The Beeville Art

Museum, created and operated by the Joe Barnhart Foundation, is first and foremost a teaching museum, pro-viding cultural and edu-cational opportunities for the citizens of Bee County and surrounding areas.

By Kay PastWhile I would have

to scratch my head to come up with my favorite author, movie, actor or musician, if you asked me what my favorite building is, I’d quickly answer, “The library.”

I love the Joe Barnhart Bee County Library in its historic building across from the courthouse. It is a spacious, comfortable structure, pleasing to the eye, housing a wealth of resources, both in print and on computers.

It is in constant use by Beevillians of all ages and categories. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the Barnhart Foundation for providing this won-derful state-of-the-art library.

I also have fond memo-ries of the public library when it was located in the United Clubs Building at 611 N. Adams St. (now a private home). That col-lection of books was on floor-to-ceiling shelves in a long, narrow room across the north end of the building.

I remember Mrs. Cora Burke, with her white hair pinned in a bun on the back of her head, the kind librarian who checked out exciting Nancy Drew books to me, probably beginning the summer after my second grade year. I chewed off many fingernails, worry-ing about how the smart young detective was going to get out of seem-ingly impossible, danger-ous situations.

My idea of happiness in those days was a room filled with books, a fan (before air conditioning), a comfortable chair and a glass of iced tea.

My sweet mother indulged my reading habit, for she, too, was an avid long-time book-worm—even though it meant I was frequently in the middle of a chapter when she wanted me to help her with the dishes!

She only questioned me once about a book I was in the middle of. She glanced at the cover picture of a woman with a very low-cut dress and

her eyes read the title as Immoral Wife.

“WHAT kind of book are you reading?” she asked.

Realizing her incorrect take on the title, I pointed out the “t” in “Immortal” and explained that the historic fiction novel was about Jessie Benton Frémont, wife of John C. Frémont, “Pathfinder to the West” and unsuc-cessful, anti-slavery Presidential candidate in 1856 who had run under the slogan, “Frémont and Jessie, too.”

But back to the pub-lic library, which by the early ’50s had become inadequate for the grow-ing community. The Rosetta Club began hold-ing a popular annual fies-ta fundraiser in Flournoy Park to raise money for new books. I remem-ber enjoying those fies-tas with my family—my favorite activity was rid-ing in the horse-drawn buggy!

With the new books purchased with fiesta funds, the old library

needed more space for the growing collection for eager library patrons like me.

According to Margaret Moser’s Biography of a Particular Place, Volume II, Rosetta member Mrs. James R. Dougherty gave $60,000 in 1957 for a new library building at 210 E. Corpus Christi Street, which was dedicated in her husband’s memory July 15, 1957. Many other businesses, organi-zations and individuals contributed money for furnishings and books.

As the collections from the old location were moved into the spa-cious new building, the books needed sorting, cataloguing and process-ing for check out. Inez Spielhagen’s friend, Sister Jane Marie, and her students at Our Lady of the Lake College in San Antonio donated their services to organize the new card catalogue.

About that time I had become a student library assistant one class peri-od a day at the Thomas Jefferson Junior High library and an active member of the Thomas Jefferson Library Club. We were encouraged to volunteer at the new public library, helping

to process the books and alphabetize huge stacks of catalogue cards. My friend, Nancy Jostes Adams, and I spent many a happy hour helping with those tasks.

Many years later, after my family had returned to live in Beeville, I served on the library board at a time when we struggled to pay librar-ian Bertha Gingerich and one assistant mea-ger salaries and barely had any money to pur-chase new books. When the late Jack Bace of the Joe Barnhart Foundation Board called to ask if they could help us develop a “state-of-the-art” library, we felt like Cinderella when her fairy godmoth-er appeared!

Thanks to the Barnhart Foundation’s generos-ity, we now have our amazing library, which is one of the busiest places in town. Not only does it provide books, movies, computers and many activities for local young people, it makes Internet services avail-able to people who have no computers at home and has free wi-fi for visi-tors. Librarian Cynthia Blatherwick says that each of their computers runs some 2,000 hours per year.

“Unfortunately, those computers are seven years old, which practi-cally makes them dino-saurs in the age of con-stant updates,” Cynthia says. “The city has increased their finan-cial support for us, but additional funds from the county are needed to replace the old computers and avoid disruption in services.”

She dreams of a book-mobile with a mobile computer lab to pro-vide services to people in isolated areas of the county. The Barnhart Foundation is very, very generous in funding for the library, but they also support many other important programs, both in Beeville and in Houston, and cannot pro-vide for all the library’s needs. Cynthia’s dreams will require many local contributions to become reality.

In the meantime, the library continues to be my favorite Beeville loca-tion, my home-away-from-home, my source for entertainment that requires no off/on switch or recharging. If only I could check out a few more hours of reading time…

Bark for Life

“ A r e you a dog lover? Do you hate cancer? Then Bark For Life is the perfect opportunity for you and your four-legged friend to join in the fight against cancer together,” say organizers for the 2013 Bark For Life Bee County event.

The event will be held Saturday, Oct. 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Coastal Bend College walking track, 3800 Charco Road. Registration has already begun for the event.

“We are excited and happy to be working with

t h e staff of Coastal Bend College again, to make this event a success,” said Bark For Life coordinator Adriana McKinnon.

“This year’s event is already gearing up to be bigger and better than last year’s.”

C o - c o o r d i n a t o r Normagrace Flores added, “We’ve come a long way since our first event three years ago. The first year, we had 18 registered partici-pants; last year, we had 25 registered partici-pants, and this year, we

already have eight reg-istered participants, and registration hasn’t even started yet. That is defi-nitely a good sign.”

“Though the event focuses on the dog par-ticipants, we want to have something for everybody,” said Flores. “We want to let everyone know this is not an event just for dog lovers. It is a community event; every-one is welcome.”

Bark For Life Bee County is a fund-raising event benefiting The American Cancer Society.

For Bee County, the event lasts four hours and is similar to the Relay For Life event. It will begin with an opening lap in honor or memory of those who have battled cancer. After the lap, the event “goes to the dogs” with contests including: Best Dressed, Best Trick, Best Halloween Costume, Doggie-Owner Look-A-Like Contest, Best Trick and Best in Bark.

“The contests are a lot of fun; we have seen some great costumes and outfits,” said McKinnon, “It really is a fun time.”

Flores explained the misconceptions they have heard concerning the event.

“The biggest miscon-ception is many people think they have to walk for four hours with their dog. That is not true. There is an opening and closing lap, and it is not required that the partici-pants walk it. The laps

are to pay tribute to those who have been affected by cancer,” she said.

Anyone interested in registering for Bark For Life can visit the registra-tion table at the Farmers Market. There is a $20 early registration fee per dog participant. T-shirts are also available for $15. Contact Monica Cruz at 361-857-0136 or log on

to RelayForLife.org/bark-beecountytx.

Information for upcom-ing registration dates and other important details can be found on the Bark For Life of Bee County Facebook page, or you can contact coordi-nator Adriana McKinnon at 361-542-3840 or Normagrace Flores at 361-318-0355.

The Texas Mile event will be held Oct. 25-27 at the Chase Field Industrial Complex, 2745 Byrd St. in Beeville.

The Texas Mile is a semi-annual event in March and October when drivers of vehicles of every make and model try to see how fast they can go in the span of one mile. The event’s motto is “Three days, one mile, no speed limit.”

A state-of-the-art, computerized timing system assures the most accurate speed information for the drivers, noting their speed at each of several points along the mile run.

The Beeville Main Street organization usually has a community event scheduled for the Saturday evening of the Texas Mile, in an effort to encourage those attending and participating in the competition to visit downtown Beeville.

Tickets are $20 per person for 3-day admission and can be purchased at the entrance gate. Children 12 and under are admitted free. Motorhomes and camp-ers are welcome for those who want to stay on the grounds overnight. Visit www.texasmile.net for more information.

Christmas in Beeville is a snowball throwing good time for children

The Beeville Main Street Program annu-ally holds a Holly Jolly Christmas event in December.

Last year’s events drew hundreds of chil-dren and even more adults.

The highlight was arti-ficial snow because even Beeville coordinators couldn’t seem to change the weather.

From water balls, inflatable slides, a snow-covered slide the chil-dren slid down on tubes

and moon bounces, there is plenty for kids of any age to do.

No date is available for this year, so be sure and check the Beeville Bee-Picayune come December for specifics.

Visitors won’t want to miss the parade either as it makes its way down Washington Street for more than four blocks. And, yes, as is tradition, it will likely be a lighted as this parade doesn’t start until after the sun goes down.

Children last year had a ball as they played in artificial snow in downtown Beeville. Check the Beeville Bee-Picayune for dates and details about this year’s event when December gets a little closer.

Presidio La Bahía is located one mile south of Goliad, on U.S. Highway 183 (77A). Presidio La Bahia was established in 1749, with Mission Espíritu Santo. It has been owned by the Catholic Church since 1853 and is currently operated by the Catholic Diocese of Victoria, Texas.

During the mid-1960s, the Kathryn Stoner O’Connor Foundation funded a restoration project under the direc-tion of architect Raiford Stripling and archeologist Roland Beard. The fort was rebuilt to its 1836 appear-ance, based on documents and arche-ological evidence dating from the Texas Revolution. Presidio La Bahía

was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1967.

One present significance of the Presidio is that it and the two mis-sions constitute the only surviving example of a Spanish Colonial mis-sion/presidio complex in Texas and one of very few in North America. The preservation of this relationship greatly enhances the visitors’ under-standing of the partnership between the Spanish Crown and the Catholic Church in colonizing the New World.

The Presidio chapel still serves as a community church. Visitors may tour the grounds and chapel and

visit the Presidio’s museum, which contains exhibits and cases of arti-facts. The most popular annual event at the site is the Goliad Massacre Living History Program, a two-day reenactment of the battle of Coleto Creek and the subsequent execution of Colonel James W. Fannin and his troops.

Our Lady of Loreto Chapel at Presidio La Bahia has served the spir-itual needs of Catholics—Spanish, Mexican, Texas, American, in turn—since 1779. Even today, mass services are held every Sunday at 5 p.m. at the Our Lady of Loreto Chapel.

Near the Presidio is the Fannin Memorial Monument. After the defeat of the Mexican army at the Battle of San Jacinto, as General Rusk and the Texas army was following the Mexican army out of Texas, when

they arrived at Goliad, they gathered up the remains of Fannin and his men and buried them at a site to the southeast of Presidio La Bahia.

It took more than 100 years for the State of Texas to erect a last-ing monument to Colonel Fannin and his men. Funds were appropri-ated as part of the Texas Centennial celebration in 1936. The monument was erected and dedicated in 1938, and placed directly over the grave of the Goliad garrison. The monument, which is in fact a gravestone, con-tains the known names of the Goliad men and those killed at the battle of Coleto Creek on March 19, 1836. The relief carving show the Goddess of Liberty lifting a fallen soldier in chains.
