Brownwood Bulletin 3
Area students complete
Criminal Justice
Internships
through Howard Payne
UNIVERSITY NEWS SERVICE

Area students recently celebrated the successful comple-
tion of criminal justice internships through Howard Payne
University.
Students who completed their internships include: Amy
Martin of Brownwood, Ron Jackson Juvenile Correctional
Complex; and Justin Taylor of Early, Brown County Sheriff’s
Office.
Students are required to complete 150 hours of service
which reflects three credit hours toward their major in
criminal justice. Internships include working with “at risk”
students and adults at local, state and federal agencies as
well as positions with law firms, law enforcement agencies
and many other organizations that help students prepare
for a future in the field of criminal justice.
“One of the best paths to future employment is for a
student to intern at an agency or organization in his or her
field,” said Lynn Humeniuk, associate professor of sociology
and director of HPU’s criminal justice program. “Many HPU
criminal justice interns have reaped the benefits of intern-
ships by building strong resumes and learning valuable in-
sights from experts in the field. Our university is extremely
blessed to have professionals who are willing to supervise
our interns and, in the process, apply the valuable informa-
tion students learn in the classroom.”
Founded in 1889, Howard Payne University is a Christ-
centered academic community dedicated to excellence by
developing and equipping the whole person for intellectual
inquiry, personal and professional integrity, and service to
God and humanity.
Located in Brownwood, Texas, HPU offers a full array of
undergraduate programs and a limited number of graduate
programs in a traditional residential academic community.
The university also offers selected undergraduate and
graduate course work by electronic means and at extended
learning centers in El Paso, Texas, and New Braunfels, Texas.
HPU maintains a low student-to-faculty ratio, which contrib-
utes to the university’s reputation of being “a place where
everybody is somebody.”
Two Howard Payne University students were
named 2013 Young Maston Scholars by
Hardin-Simmons University. They are pictured

Two Howard Payne University students were recog-
nized recently as 2013 Young Maston Scholars during
the T.B. Maston Lectures in Christian Ethics, an annual
conference hosted by Hardin-Simmons University’s
Logsdon Seminary.
Trent Gainey, a junior biblical languages major from
Kermit, and Joshua Puckett, a senior Bible major from
Hobbs, N.M., were nominated for the honor by Dr.
Donnie Auvenshine, dean of HPU’s School of Christian
Studies, and other HPU faculty members.
“Trent and Joshua are outstanding examples of the
caliber of those studying through HPU’s School of
Christian Studies,” Dr. Auvenshine said. “They daily live
out their commitments to Christ in everything they do.
We could not be prouder of their accomplishments.”
The Young Maston Scholar designation is awarded by
Hardin-Simmons University in conjunction with nomi-
nations made by HPU and other Texas Baptist-partner-
ing universities in an effort to recognize outstanding
undergraduate students for their interest in, engage-
ment with and integration of Christian ethics.
Nominations are based upon a student’s demon-
strated faithfulness to the ethical example of Christ; a
commitment to Christian ethics lived out in theological
inquiry and academic excellence; an established reputa-
tion among peers for ethical Christian leadership; and
an articulated clarity in an occupational expression of
ministry, though it is not required to be in a congrega-
tional setting.
In addition to receiving formal recognition during this
year’s lectures, Gainey and Puckett participated in an
auxiliary ethics retreat sponsored by the T.B. Maston
Foundation, as well as an exclusive ethics roundtable
with this year’s Maston Lecturer, Dr. Molly Marshall,
president of Central Baptist Theological Seminary in
Shawnee, Kan.
Both the Young Maston Scholar designation and the
T.B. Maston Lectures in Christian Ethics seek to honor
the legacy of Dr. T.B. Maston, longtime professor of
Christian ethics and pioneering Baptist ethicist, known
for his writing and teaching in the areas of biblical
ethics, race relations, family life, the Christian life and
vocation, church and state, and character formation.

RISING STAR — During the April 29
evening banquet, Chamber President
Cindy Wood proclaimed Nancy Bostick
as Rising Star Citizen of the Year; and
the local EDC group as Rising Star

Wood introduced Bostick with a
short biography and told the audience

in various locations and did a stint
as mayor of this picturesque town in
2008-09.
Wood went on to say that Bostick
has always been interested in the bet-
terment of Rising Star; and as presi-
dent of the local EDC, has guided the
group in many projects, the latest of
which is the Downtown Open Air Mar-
ket, which began in November 2012;
and is growing larger each month.
Wood also honored the Economic
Development Corporation as a group
and presented several members with
the community service awards.

BLAKE
CONTINUED FROM 1
ity” to describe his success-
es in the restaurant busi-
ness, a word he first learned
during HPU chapel.
“I remember sitting
in Chapel when I was a
sophomore,” he said. “The
speaker said ‘serendipity’
and it stuck in my mind.”
Blake describes seren-
dipity as luck, a belief
that something is going to
happen. It is like being the
chosen one, but you have to
take it and work at it.
Blake’s BBQand Burg-
ers began 31 years ago on
March 15. After Blake left
HPU, he had worked as a
salesman in Houston. He
and friends would go out,
but they could never find a
good hamburger restaurant.
“I thought, there had to be
a market for burgers here,”
said Blake. “I figured I could
do it, but it was a chance.”
Blake built the restaurant
from the ground up and
found the lot it is now built
on by a “wrong turn that
was a right turn.” After
finding the lot, Blake didn’t
procrastinate.
“Procrastination is a thief
of time,” said Blake.
He hired on architects and
subcontractors and built
the now famous restaurant
which has been on televi-
sion numerous times and
is well known not only in
Houston, but around the
world. Several segments
have been filmed about
Blake’s restaurant from dif-
ferent countries including
Indonesia and Milaysia.
Blake credits much of his
success to his upbringing
in Brownwood and a desire
to be in business. His role
models growing up were
Bennie Houston, members
of his local church and
teachers that Blake said
pushed him.
“People saw something
in me that I couldn’t see
myself,” said Blake.
He also credits his mother
and her encouragement
that he was special to his
success.
“I tried to prove her right,”
said Blake, “I try to do the
right thing.”
Though Blake attributes
much of his success to those
around him, a large portion
of his success is the result of
hard work and a talent for
making delicious burgers.
“I had that desire to be an
entrepreneur,” said Blake, “it
was something deep inside
of me.”
Dr. Bill Ellis, president
of HPU said, “I would like
to invite you to join me in
watching as we celebrate the
successes of an HPU gradu-
ate and former resident
of Brownwood. Hopefully
we’ll also learn a few tips on
making burgers worth of a
Travel Channel special.”
