Hemphill Care Center has a new administrator, and a lot of the residents already know him. He is Steve Winfield and he comes to HCC from Stonecreek Nursing and Rehabilitation in San Augustine, but many of the residents remember him from his baseball playing days. He played high school baseball (pitcher) at San Augustine, then in college, and then onto playing for Montreal Expos (now known as the Washington Nationals) and St Louis Cardinals MLB. Steve still enjoys baseball, either through watching his grandkids play, or through his personal training of various baseball players.

A retirement luncheon for outgoing Sabine County Commissioner Pct. 2 Jimmy McDaniel was held in the third floor Courtroom last Wednesday and the place was packed with friends, family, and colleagues sharing the moment and wishing Jimmy well. Pictured above, Sabine County Judge Daryl Melton presents Jimmy a retirement plaque in honor of Jimmy’s 16 years of dedicated service to the county. Then James “Bubba” Lowe, County Commissioner Pct. 4 presented Jimmy with a yellow Tonka truck hauling Jimmy’s favorite beverage, a can of Dr. Pepper! Jimmy, your community thanks you for your many years of excellent service, and we wish you the happiest retirement ever!
