WRITTEN THREE YEARS AGO: MARSHALL, TEXAS -- BIRTHPLACE OF BOOGIE WOOGIE
By Jack Canson -- May 23, 2010
One of the most significant developments in American musical history is the invention and emergence of a style of piano playing that came to be known as "Boogie Woogie."
No one even casually acquainted with the history of American music discounts the importance of the Boogie Woogie style of playing on popular culture. The musical forms that have evolved from Boogie Woogie have spread across the world, influencing countless thousands of performers and many millions of fans. Most people are aware of the influence of Blues music on Rock and Roll. But perhaps most are unaware that the true father of rock is Boogie Woogie.
Think about Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ray Charles -- to name but a few. Listen to their earliest recordings and you realize how much of rock and roll comes from Boogie Woogie.
And Boogie Woogie comes from Marshall, Texas.

AWE THE BEAUTY OF THE FLIGHT!

“If nothing ever changed, there’d be no butterflies”_ Author Unknown
I have always felt that God added the butterfly like a sprinkle of “pixie dust,” to intrigue our sense of wonderment. No matter what your age watching a butterfly can’t help but capture your attention and make you smile. So this year why not plant a butterfly garden, it can even be a family project!
Butterflies usually make their appearance in the spring, once the temperature is above 60º F, and stay thru the fall. They fly best when their body temperature is between 85-100º F. If the temperature dips below 80º F you will see butterflies basking in the sun with their wings outstretched, absorbing heat. Placing a couple of flat stones or rocks in your butterfly garden will give them the perfect place to sun themselves. Butterflies love to sun themselves after a meal!
Pick the perfect place to entertain your butterfly guests. Butterflies require a sheltered location to rest and to seek protection from bad weather and wind. During the night they roost, often on the underside of a leaf. Shrubs and tall grasses are also useful as shelter and windbreaks.

A PLAY AND A PARTY
When artist Georgia O'Keeffe struggled to answer the question "Was it me or was
it Stieglitz?", she was wondering out loud about the events in her life - a life that
ended at the age of 91 years. Her husband, Alfred Stieglitz, world famous photo-
graher, played a major role in her life an career, but she wondered if she would
have achieved the same success without him.
Jefferson and area residents will have a chance to follow those thoughts when the
community theatre group, the Opera House Theatre Players, bring the one-woman
play, "O'Keeffe!" to the Playhouse stage on Saturday, May 25 at 7:30 pm and again
on Sunday, May 26 at 2 pm. With professional actress Carolyn Wickwire playing
the title role, the play promises to bring an uplifting example of "life in art" story
to people who would not otherwise have an opportunity to see this amazing per-
formance. As part of the story, the actress reveals the time that O'Keeffe spent
in Amarillo, Texas as a teacher of art. As she put it, she wanted to "fill a space
in a beautiful way".
Following Sunday's performance, the Players invite everyone to attend the "Meet
The Casts" party at Perry Park beginning 6 pm. The party is to give the public
a chance to meet Wickwire as well as the entire, large cast of the upcoming
musical "White Christmas" scheduled for July 3-6. There is no charge to
attend.

DROWNING AT CADDO LAKE -- WILDRICK JENKINS
Harrison County 911 operators received a call for assistance at approximately 12:30 PM on May 19, 2013 regarding a missing occupant of a canoe on Caddo Lake. Texas Parks and Wildlife Game Wardens were notified and Harrison County Deputies were dispatched to the general area of the accident. The Deputies and Game Wardens were advised that 2 men had rented a canoe at nearby Johnson’s Ranch, in Uncertain, Texas and were paddling down the river. The canoe apparently turned over, throwing the 2 occupants into the water. The surviving man attempted to find the other occupant and states he never saw him after the canoe capsized and that occupant then swam to the nearby shore. Game Wardens from Bowie County assisted the Harrison County Game Wardens with specialized side-scan sonar equipment and located the body of the missing boater in approximately 11 feet of water near where the canoe capsized. It appears that neither occupant of the canoe was wearing the life jackets that were in the canoe.
Harrison County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that the family has been notified of the drowning victim that occurred on May 19, 2013. The victim is:
Wildrick Lamon Jenkins
B/M 9/16/1991
Mr. Jenkins was a resident of Marshall, Texas.
