			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">A historic mansion in the woods, a high-drama</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">murder with steamy characters, a Bogart-type</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">private investigator and a catered meal with </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">spirits coalesce for an evening of fun and entertainment</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">at the Kirby-Hill </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">House this fall.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> For its 18th season, the</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Kirby-Hill House players will</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">perform a Murder Mystery</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Dinner Theatre on Sept. 10, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">11, 18 and 19, as well as Oct.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">1, 2, 8 and 9. This year’s production,</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">“Murder At Café</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Noir,” has been performed </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">coast to coast as one of the</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">most popular whodunit, audience</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">participation dinner theaters</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> in the country since its</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">premiere in 1989. Typical of</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">the film noir of the 1930s</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">and ’40s, the thriller is complete with cynicism</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">and sexual motivations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> David Landau wrote the drama featuring 12</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">characters that revolve around Rick Archer, P.I.,</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">who comes to a forgotten island where the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">owner of Café Noir has washed up on the beach</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">dead as a seashell. Archer then must determine</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">whodunit among a group of likely suspects – a</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">femme fatale, a gunrunner, a voodoo priestess,</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">the club manager, a black marketeer, a French</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">madam or a British attorney.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">The audience gets to guess, too, but they also</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">get to eat. Mama Jack’s Restaurant caters a formal</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">dinner starting with soup and salad followed</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">by chicken Marsala, red potatoes, vegetables</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Normandy, Tuscan tomatoes, rolls</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">and apple crunch. The evening</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">starts with complimentary wine</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">followed with shrimp and caviar</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">hors d’oeuvres. Wine and punch,</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">coffee, tea and water are available</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">throughout the courses and the</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">drama.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> The Kirby-Hill House, built in</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">1902, is 20 miles north of Beaumont</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">at 210 W. Main Street in</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Kountze. Timber baron James L.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Kirby built the house that features</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">wrap-around porches, 48 columns,</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">four fireplaces, curved walls and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">oval grand staircase. The house</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">also serves as a bed and breakfast.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Tickets for the dinner theatre, as well as</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">information about staying the night, are available</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">by calling (409) 246-8000 or visit the Web</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">site at www.kirby-hillhouse.com and on Facebook.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Beaumont City  Council will issue a proclamation Tuesday (Sept. 7, 2010) urging  residents and businesses to participate in “Get Your Red On” to support  Lamar University football. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> A delegation of Lamar students, alumni and officials – including Coach  Ray Woodard and members of the Cardinals football team – will attend the  council’s weekly meeting at 1:30 p.m. in City Hall council chambers as  council acknowledges the impact the return of football will have on the  university and the region. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> Business leaders who are also Lamar alumni will join them, along with  University Ambassadors and members of the Cheer Squad.  LU  representatives also include Camille Mouton, vice president for  university advancement; Juan Zabala, executive director of alumni  affairs, who will accept the proclamation; and Linda LeBlanc, assistant  director of alumni affairs. Woodard will speak briefly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> City Council will urge residents and businesses to support Lamar  football by participating in “Get Your Red On” during the weekend of  each 2010 home football game by wearing Lamar University gear,  displaying LU merchandise on homes and vehicles and decorating  businesses with LU logos and signs. Home games will be Sept. 11, Oct. 2,  Oct. 9, Oct. 16, Nov. 13 and Nov. 20. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> Football, which will return to the Lamar campus Sept. 11 after a  21-year absence, is in part responsible for an enrollment increase at  the university, according to the proclamation, and attracts many new  students to Beaumont from outside the region. With increased enrollment  comes the creation of new jobs, generating the need for more faculty and  staff.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> And, said the proclamation, “Literally thousands of Lamar University  football fans will spend their time and money locally during home  football game weekends . . . (and) the return of college football to the  Beaumont area will have a significant economic impact on both Lamar  University and the entire region.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Contacts: 	Juan Zabala, Executive Director of Alumni Affairs, (409) 880-8921</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> Linda LeBlanc, Assistant Director of Alumni Affairs, (409) 880-8921 </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> Louise Wood, Media Specialist, (409) 880-8415</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Independence,  dignity and respect: those are values that Spindletop MHMR (Mental  Health, Mental Retardation) believe should apply to every person,  regardless of any mental health issues. It is well known that some  people with mental health diagnoses are at risk to become homeless at  some point during the illness.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> Therefore, Spindletop is starting a brand new venture: The Studios at Spindletop, which will open Oct. 1.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> The Studios is a 12-room, co-ed, independent-living facility for STMHMR  clients with mental illness who are also at risk for homelessness. It  will be located on the Spindletop campus on South 8th St. in Beaumont.  Each eligible tenant receives a private apartment, which he or she may  decorate to his her own taste. Spindletop supplies basic furnishings,  along with a refrigerator and microwave for each room.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">“This  project was funded through some recovery monies that sprang from  Hurricane Ike,” said STMHMR Director of Network Services Sally Walden.  “We had a building we thought we could put to good use, and The Studios  was born. It is just an incredible facility.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> In addition to the apartments, The Studios features a communal living  room, a kitchen and a laundry area. For recreation, there will be a  large television and a landscaped courtyard. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">That is what The Studios is. More important is what it is not.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> “This is not a treatment facility,” said Walden. “It is not a hospital  and it’s not a shelter and you can’t be housed there against your will.  It is not a halfway house. This is simply a nice place for people who  happen to have mental health diagnoses to live until they can secure  housing on their own.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> No one will “run” The Studios. A tenant designated as a Resident Leader will handle day-to-day issues.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Tenants  may come and go as they please, but the front doors will be locked at  10 p.m. However, if a tenant wanted to stay somewhere else for the night  or go away on vacation, that is perfectly fine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">“These tenants are adults, and we will treat them that way,” said Walden.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> “Thousands of people currently live in facilities just like this  one—they’re called dorms,” said Janna Fulbright, marketing and PR for  Spindletop MHMR. “Think about it: rooms, a communal living area, a place  to eat and do laundry and one person to make sure things go smoothly.  Sounds just like a college dormitory, doesn’t it?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> Each apartment at The Studios will be subsidized, in part, through a  Housing and Urban Development voucher. However, tenants will pay a  portion of the rent, with the amount based on tenants’ incomes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">The  Studios at Spindletop will open its doors at 10 a.m. on Oct. 1, with an  open house reception for dignitaries, community leaders, tenants and  the media.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> Who qualifies to live at The Studios? The facility can not accept any  applicant with a prior felony conviction or a sex offense. Potential  tenants must submit to verification of their income level and a criminal  background check. Each tenant will also have to apply for a HUD  voucher.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> For more information about Spindletop MHMR and its services, call (409)  839-1000. For 24-hour mental health crisis services, call the  Spindletop Crisis Hotline at 800-937-8097.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">More than fifty  breast cancer survivors provided their support and artistic flare during  the “Gift of Life’s” BRA-vo! Applause for the Cause recent Kickoff  highlighting breast cancer awareness.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">BRA-vo!  Applause for the Cause is a unique endeavor that uses bras as an  expressive palate to convey breast cancer survivors’ stories and further  emotional healing while sharing the importance of early detection. At  the kickoff, BRA-vo! Co-Chairs, Vicki Bauer, and breast cancer  survivors, Phyllis Loeb and Jane McBride, presented “Bra Starter Kits,”  generously donated by Dillard’s. </span></p>
<table style="height: 33px;" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" width="403">

</table>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Opportunity for  survivors to tell their personal stories while raising breast cancer  awareness and letting the community know about the ‘Gift of Life’s’  mission,” said McBride, an author and newspaper columnist. “Following  the gallery showings, we hope to have the bra creations displayed at  select Pink Shopping Card venues throughout the region.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">After  being designed and embellished, these one-of-a-kind works of art will  be displayed at local art museums during Putting on the Pink, the “Gift  of Life’s” month-long celebration of survivorship and hope in October,  National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. BRA-vo! participants are also  asked to share their own inspiring stories of courage in brief essays,  which will accompany their unique bra creations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">“This  is such an exciting project to create awareness,” Bauer said. “We hope  to engage survivors and allow them to relay their stories through  creativity. While I was constructing my bra, called ‘Back in the  Saddle,’ I thought of a close friend who is currently battling cancer. I  know my time working on this bra is nothing compared to what she is  going through with treatment.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Bras  unveiled during the kickoff were BBS Collection’s “BRAzilliantly  Bedazzled!,” Bauer’s “Back in the Saddle,” Ania Bender’s “Who Let the  Dogs Out?,” Peggy Bordelon’s “Steel Magnolias,” Roger Iker’s “Hooters”  (an owl-themed creation), Leigh Gibson’s “King Tuts,” Susan Mosier’s  “The Blessed Nest,” and Jana Nichol’s “Get Carried Away.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">The  BRA-vo! exhibit will debut at a Gallery Show &amp; Reception at Lamar  University’s Dishman Art Gallery on Friday, October 1, followed by a  showing from Tuesday, October 19 – Friday, October 29, at the Art Museum  of Southeast Texas. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Additional  Putting on the Pink activities include free mammograms for medically  underserved women; extensive educational outreach; the Pink Shopping  Card Project (Discount Shopping Days: Thursday, October 21 through  Monday, November 1); and on Monday, October 18, “An Evening with Marie,”  featuring dinner and dancing at the Beaumont Civic Center, the Breast  Cancer Survivors’ “Walk of Courage” and an exciting performance by  renowned entertainment icon, Marie Osmond, at the Julie Rogers Theatre.  (Tickets and sponsorships are currently available.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">For  more information about BRA-vo! Applause for the Cause, Putting on the  Pink or to find out if you qualify for a free mammogram, please call the  “Gift of Life” at (409) 833-3663 or visit giftoflifebmt.org.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Art and flower  lovers will have a few more days to see the Stark Museum of Art’s  special exhibition Blooms: Floral Art in the Stark Collections, before  it closes September 4, 2010. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Blooms  focuses on the flower as an inspiration for the visual arts in printed  rare books, decorative arts and twentieth-century still life paintings.  The exhibition includes an educational area for children and families  with interactive learning elements such as a matching game, reading area  and flower drawing station. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">“This  will be the last opportunity to see together the Stark Museum’s  important collection of Joseph Henry Sharp’s floral paintings.  Sharp’s  work has gained attention through a new publication, In Poetic Silence:  The Floral Paintings of Joseph Henry Sharp by Thomas Minckler, which  explores Sharp’s artistry and includes many reproductions from the Stark  collection,” said Sarah E. Boehme, Director.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">When  Blooms ends, the Museum will close its Gallery 5 for remodeling.  “We  are planning some upgrades to the Museum including new lighting.  Our  intention is to proceed by working in one gallery at a time, so that  four galleries remain open and our major masterworks are always on view.   In the near future, we will install some small exhibits, but Blooms  will be the last major special exhibition until the remodeling is  concluded,” explained Boehme.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Located  at 712 Green Avenue in Orange, Texas, the Stark Museum of Art is open  to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Admission  is free.  Group tours are available by appointment. For more information  call 409.886.ARTS (2787) or visit www.starkmuseum.org.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">The question that has been on Beaumont area billboards for the last two months</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">is about to be answered. Nutty Jerry’s: What is it?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> Nutty Jerry’s is a 60,000 square foot multi-purpose entertainment complex, currently under construction at the</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">corner of Englin Road and Highway 73 in Winnie Texas. Jerry Nelson is Nutty Jerry, and he has big plans for his</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> new club.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
“<em>For years I wanted to have a facility in this area, where we could rodeo, bull ride, have concerts,</em></span><em><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">And make it affordable to the General Public” said Nelson. “After years of playing with this</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">idea, I finally pulled the trigger…. Nutty Jerry’s will offer Southeast Texas more variety of music</span><br />
</em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"><em>and entertainment, as well as a dining environment, never before seen here.</em>”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> The original concept for Nutty Jerry’s started out as the Double J Rodeo Palace in 1993. Jerry hosted PRCA</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Rodeos and Professional Bull Rider events in the semi-enclosed arena. As the popularity of his rodeos grew,</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Nelson started to book major concert acts in conjunction with his rodeos. In the early and mid 90’s people came </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">from all over Texas to see acts as diverse as Paul Rogers and Bad Company, Johnny Winter and Ray Price. After </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">building a successful national touring rodeo and bull riding business, Nelson acquired the SETX Mavericks </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">professional basketball team in 2008. After two successful basketball seasons, including winning the 2010 ABA</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Championship, Jerry started to envision a new venue to showcase basketball…but why stop at basketball? What </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">about concerts? What about rodeo and bull riding? What about anything to show people a good time…</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Nutty Jerry’s is unlike any club in the Golden Triangle area! The fully air-conditioned Nutty Jerry’s will have 8 acres</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">of parking for easy access. The main distinction that will separate Nutty Jerry’s from other venues is the 60,000</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">square foot main floor which will provides ample space for any type of event. There is virtually not a bad seat in the</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">house! Customers will be able to take in shows from an upper level VIP seating section, bleacher seating and VIP</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">floor seating. Nutty Jerry’s will have the largest sound and light show of any club between Houston and New</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Orleans and customers will be able to watch the show via many large-screen video monitors.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> Nutty Jerry’s is also the new home of the ABA Champion Southeast Texas Mavericks. Nutty Jerry’s acquired the</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">original basketball floor form the Philadelphia Spectrum for the Mavericks’ home games. The legendary ABA star</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Julius Erving first played on the floor that will be installed at Nutty Jerry’s.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">In addition to top notch entertainment, Nutty Jerry’s will feature 3 full service bars serving beer wine and frozen </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">drinks. Nutty Jerry will also feature a full service restaurant serving a mix of Seafood, Steaks, Chicken and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Barbeque dishes. Weekly specials will be offered</span>.<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"> A full slate of concerts and sporting events is scheduled for Nutty Jerry’s with more events to be announced:</span><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">The Art Museum of  Southeast Texas (AMSET) requests the assistance of local art collectors  and artists in its search for artwork created by Southeast Texas artists  from 1925 to 1965 for an exhibition scheduled to open in January 2011  titled Southeast Texas Art: Cross-Currents and Influences. The deadline  for loaning artwork is Nov. 1, 2010.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">“There  was such an abundance of talented artists working in Southeast Texas  during this time period that this exhibition has great potential,” said  AMSET Curator of Exhibitions and Collections Sarah Hamilton. “We are  trying to bring that artwork together into a cohesive exhibition to  share with the community that represents its history.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Southeast  Texas Art: Cross-Currents and Influences will feature a wide array of  paintings, drawings and sculptures. The exhibition will examine and  address the strong artistic, stylistic, and geographic connections and  influences that prevailed between artists’ work produced in Southeast  Texas (particularly Beaumont and Port Arthur) and the important early  Texas artists working around the state during a span of 40 years from  1925 to 1965. Many of these highly influential Texas artists include,  among others, Otis Dozier and DeForrest Judd of Dallas and Robert  Preusser of Houston, who traveled to Beaumont during the middle of the  20th century to serve as jurors in various local fine art competitions.  Their impact was pivotal to the local art scene of Southeast Texas. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Some  of the significant Southeast Texas artists working during the mid-20th  century whose work will be featured in AMSET’s exhibition include:   Lorene David, Maudee Carron, Lillian Hayes, Katherine Green Baker, Lynn  Sweat, Dennis McCarthy, Jack Shofner, Clarice Holloway, Eva Hogeland,  Watson Neyland, Naiman Woodland, Merle Cox, Herman Hugg, Erin O’Brien,  Will-Amelia Sterns Price, Richard Stout, Jerry Newman, John Alexander,  David and Patricia Cargill, Robert Rogan, Robert Madden, George Hampton,  Waifie Hoffman and Vallie Fletcher, among others.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">Collectors  are asked to loan pieces fitting this description to the museum for the  exhibition, and they will be returned once the show closes in April.  Hamilton adds that pulling artwork from private collections throughout  the community adds to the intrigue of exhibitions like this one.</span></p>
