on him being in the Chambers

While the news has just
come out that Flores, the main
suspect in the murder of two

This weekend, Anahuac
residents will decide the
fate of Anahuac ISD’s
campuses and athletic fa-
cilities when they vote on
a $15 million bond elec-
tion.
The election will be held
from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sat-
urday at the Anahuac ISD
Administration Building,
804 Mikhael Ricks Drive.
Earlier this year, Ana-
huac ISD administrators
proposed a $15 million
bond to fund a new field
house, new football stadi-
um and new baseball and
softball complex.
In addition to new fa-
cilities, the bond will also
address general mainte-
nance needs for the ele-
mentary' school, improve-
ments to air conditioning
units at the middle school
and high school campus-
es. It will also help fund
new district-wide servers.
The $15 million bond
election is the first step in
a long-range building plan
developed by Claycomb
Associates that will look
to update other facilities
in the future.
If the election bond
is passed, Anahuac ISD
will replace its aging
field house with a new
19,734-square-foot field
house, which will feature
all new amenities such
as training rooms, weight
rooms, coaching offices

BY CHRISTOPHER JAMES
Christopherjamej@bayttwmsun.coni
Chamber County res-
idents and their families
will be out in force at the
Winnie-Stowell Park today
to celebrate those who have
battled cancer, remem-
ber loved ones lost and to
take action to end the fight
against cancer once and for
all.
As of Thursday, 13 teams
and 142 participants had
raised $40,655 for this
year’s Chambers County
Relay for Life, which starts
at 6 p.m. today at Win-
nie-Stowell Park, 307 E.
Leblanc Street.
Opening ceremonies will
be held at 6 p.m. at the Rice
Festival stage, which is the
central spot for the walking
track.
Following the opening
ceremonies will be the
survivors lap that features
anyone who is currently
battling cancer, or who has
survived a bout with can-
cer. Survivor check-in will
be located at the north end
of the stage any time after
4 p.m., where survivors can
pick up their official 2016
survivor T-shirts.
Following the initial sur-
vivors lap, caregivers will
then join the survivors for
one more lap around the
track, to recognize the peo-
ple who are in the home
daily, assisting the survivor
to cope with the disease.
These walkers will then
proceed to the community
building, where an appreci-
ation dinner will be provid-
ed to the survivors and their
caregivers.
Shortly after both survi-
vor laps are completed the
track will be open for team
laps.
Throughout the night
there will be specialty laps
that include a heroes lap,
