Published bi-weekly by Beeville Publishing Co.

Growing up in a small town and trying to be health conscious are two things that don’t go very well together. Especially if you’re always on the run during the holidays when it’s just easier to head to the nearest fast food or Mexican restau-rant and grab lunch or dinner.

But now there’s a new, healthier option in Beeville.

Located at 419 N. Washington St. in the same building as the local BTX Crossfit stu-dio, Meals N Thrills has everything you’d need to eat right on the run.

Jennifer Treadwell, who opened up Meals N Thrills in early December, said, “We bring in Paleo and clean eating meals that consist of pretty much anything natural, so you’re not putting in any preservatives into your body.”

And Treadwell setting up shop at the Crossfit

studio wasn’t just by acci-dent. Her boyfriend is JoJo Gonzales, who runs the fitness studio, and though they tried numer-ous other locations, it just made sense to open there.

Gonzales said, “I don’t think there’s anything else in town that offers cleaner, healthier nutri-tion.

“Aside from just cook-ing the meals, we try to tell them why it’s cleaner and why the meals are cooked this way and what products and ingredients are in them. People with health issues will obvi-ously benefit.”

Now, it’s not your usual restaurant. When you step into Meals N Thrills you’ll see a few tables, a microwave and a glass two-door fridge stocked with containers.

Treadwell cooks the meals, usually the night before, and brings them in, so every meal is pretty fresh.

Treadwell explained, “Pretty much what hap-pens is I open up at 6:30 a.m., and I go until 1:30 p.m. Then I have a little break to go and shop for whatever I need.

“Then I go from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. for people who are just getting off of work. Then after that is when I have to go home and cook the meals. So I spend all night cooking, and then I’m back here in the morning.”

There’s no set menu, and every day there’s something new and dif-ferent. But that’s part of Meals N Thrills unique appeal.

“I try to mix it up with different things daily just so people will have a big variety of items and not stuck to just chicken and rice,” Treadwell said laughing. “Because that’s what people think, eating healthy is just chicken and rice.”

Her meals include steak, chicken, turkey, sushi and much more. And for the price of a plate of enchiladas with rice and beans (well more than your recommended daily amount of calories) you can get a great tast-ing, fresh meal, correctly portioned out in either 5 oz. or 10 oz. servings that you can just pop into the microwave.

Gonzales said, “You can go to Chili’s and try to order healthy, but the chicken breast is going to have a ton of sodium. It’s just the way they get it.

“And, obviously, at the end of the day people have a choice of what to do. If they want to go through the drive through and get fries or go spend $40 on two meals, but here there’s convenience, and it’s quick.”

And if you ever want to know what they’re serv-ing that day, Treadwell updates the Meals N Thrills Facebook page, facebook.com/MealsnThrills, to let peo-ple know what’s on the menu that day.

“There’s usually an item that will be sold out, so I just change it up every day. I try to keep five dif-ferent items in there, plus the desserts, so some-times there’s a little bit more, so you’ll have to come earlier rather than later because most times it ends up selling out.

“We have some people that come in and get their whole meals for the week. I have weekly plans and, of course, we have the buy 10, get one free, and then if they want a monthly plan, we can do that too.”

So what made this Beeville native decide to start up such a healthy

eatery?Treadwell explained, “I

left for 10 years and then I moved back just a year ago, and I realized that there wasn’t really any healthy place to eat in Beeville.

“And the biggest thing is convenience. People can cook healthy, but it takes a long time, so why not me? I can cook for people, and it’s convenient for them to just come in here, pick up a meal and take it home, pop it in the micro-wave, and you’re done.

“So I decided this is what I was going to do, so I opened this place up.”

Gonzales added, “In places like Austin, people will buy into the grass-fed beef and farm-raised chickens.

“Beeville’s going to be a little tougher. There’s probably a minute hand-ful of people that under-stand that or will pay an extra 50 cents to $1 for it. But in the meantime, we can at least offer comfort foods and healthier Paleo-type foods in a little to-go meal in a proper portion

size.”So far, the eatery has

been doing pretty well, with people coming from Kenedy, George West and Goliad stopping in to grab a week’s worth of meals.

“Pretty much on a daily basis, I’ve sold out of items,” Treadwell said.

“I think the first day I had 120 meals in, and when I walked out the door I had 10. So it’s pret-ty good.

“I’m getting more ‘likes’ on the Facebook page, and people are asking more questions.

“It’s getting pretty big. I’m cooking lots,” she said with a laugh.

And having had a meal from their healthy eat-ing spot, it’s clear that this place will be around for a while. The food tastes great, and after-ward you’ll never guilty or bloated.

The worst thing about the eatery is trying to explain to your wife that you like another woman’s cooking more than hers.

Good luck with that.

P. 3

The other day, while visiting a local water-ing hole, I sat next to a fat, bearded gentleman dressed in a red jumpsuit with a red hat on the bar next to him.

At any other time it would’ve been a strange sight, but it being so close to Christmas I figured it had to be him. Santa. And upon further inves-tigation, it was clear that it could quite possibly be jolly St. Nick.

So I took to Facebook and immediately posted the question, “If you could ask Santa anything, what would it be?” Armed with a few online questions and my impeccable jour-nalistic abilities, I was

ready to confront the man in red.

Little did I know, he may have had a few too many.

STXscene: Hi, excuse me, are you Santa Claus?

Santa Claus: Sure, why not? (motions for the bartender to bring him another shot of what smelled like gasoline)

STX: So how’s your hol-iday been?

SC: My wife left me for an elf yesterday, and they took our only good rein-deer. How do you think it’s going? How’s your holiday going? Get any presents?!

STX: Well, it’s not Christmas, yet.

SC: Well, it doesn’t matter because I’m not giving you anything!

STX: How do you know who I am?

SC: I know everything. I’m Santa. (taps his fore-head, swaying)

STX: OK. So what do you love about Christmas?

SC: All the free pres-ents I get.

STX: Oh, do kids leave you gifts and stuff?

SC: No, they don’t! All I get is cookies at every house I go to and milk. Milk! It’s bad enough I’m diabetic now, but no one bothered to write down that I’m lactose intolerant in any of those books you buy your kids. Why not leave some rum and some quarters, so I can pay for parking every once in a while? You think I like landing on top of people’s house?

STX: I can see how that would be a little incon-venient; but you have to come down the chimney, don’t you?

SC: (grabs his gut) Do you think I can fit down a chimney?

STX: I see. Well, mov-ing on, how are the rein-deer doing? Besides the

one that was taken.SC: Look, man.

Reindeer stink. All they do is eat and s**t all year long. And what do they eat? Not snow, that’s for sure. And you feed them the generic stuff because they start gaining weight, and then they’re useless.

STX: What do kids get in their stocking if they’re bad these days? Coal seems a little passé.

SC: I told you I was lac-tose intolerant, right?

STX: Here’s a ques-tion from Facebook. Is President Obama on the naughty list this year?

SC: Ha! I made a whole new list just for him! Do you know how many employees I have? Do you think I can afford insur-ance on all them elves and their elf babies?

STX: Here’s another question from Facebook. How does it feel being the only person loved for breaking into people’s houses?

SC: That’s probably the only perk about the job. You see this? (shows me a Rolex watch) The father was worse than the kid, so I made sure he made time for his kid!

STX: That doesn’t real-ly make sense?

SC: (shrugs) Oh, well. I got a free watch. How many questions are you going to ask me?

STX: Just a few more. What do you do on your off time?

SC: Drink.STX: What’s your favor-

ite holiday drink?SC: Vodka.STX: What happens

when kids see you?SC: I have one of those

mind erasing tools from the Men in Black movies. I just zap’em.

STX: Really?SC: Naw. I just put

them in a headlock until they pass out; then I run. No one believes kids any-way. Are we done now?

STX: I have one more from a friend of mine. He asked why he got a Princess Barbie play set instead of a bike when he was a nine.

SC: You’re probably

talking about Josh. Well, if he wasn’t a such a sissy he might’ve gotten what he wanted. Ask him how often he played with it? And what happened to his sister’s princess dress that went missing a week later.

STX: I will. Thank you for your time, and good luck on Christmas.

SC: You’re not getting anything, remember that.

And as a friend drove me home that night, we couldn’t help but think that the whiskey bottles that were smashing down on the road around us from the sky were Santa’s way of saying thank you.

And not just him on the roof of the car trying to get a lift home.

DECEMBER 23, 2013-JANUARY 5, 2014P. 4

Every year, hun-dreds of thou-sands of mov-ies are released

all over the world. And thanks to Video on Demand services and rental kiosks like Redbox, they’re easier to find, but it’s harder than ever to find time to watch most of them.

Yet, over the course of the year, more than few gems have landed on my lap. There’s still a few films that won’t be released until the Christmas week that seem like candidates, but they’ll have to wait until next year.

Here’s a list of movies in any genre that felt the need to be mentioned as the top five best films of the year by yours truly.

5. “Man of Steel”Henry Cavill’s portray-

al of Superman was an unexpected, though even-

tually welcomed change, especially after what we got with Superman Returns.

Zack Snyder’s turn as director was also a pleas-ant surprise. Not that any of his movies are bad; it’s just that his style of film-making would’ve been a mismatch for this film if he hadn’t had switched to a more gritty, realistic feel.

Snyder is next tackling Superman vs. Batman, which is a task all unto itself and another set of tepid expectations. Only time will tell if he can succeed in bringing DC Comics other blockbuster superhero back to the big screen with the panache that Christopher Nolan did with his Batman tril-ogy.

4. “Only God Forgives”

This movie is probably the worst reviewed film of the year. Reading the critics reviews was actu-ally pretty entertaining though director Nicolas Winding Refn, best known in the states for his film “Drive,” has stat-ed that this film is not for everyone.

Ryan Gosling again teams with Refn in this fever dream of a movie filled with sex, extreme violence, gorgeous scen-ery and beautiful visuals.

It’s a tale of revenge that unspools under heavy neon lights and dark shadows and very little dialogue. It’s a slow-paced film that relies heavily on each shot to slowly unveil the story.

It’s not for everyone but definitely worth a watch, especially if you’re a Gosling fan.

But be warned, this isn’t “The Notebook.”

3. “Don Jon”Everyone loves Joseph

Gordon-Levitt. And to finally see the extremely talented actor blossom into a director is a satis-fying experience that few people could pull off with such grace.

The kid has style. The way the film’s edited to the angles he uses to the actors he pulled together for his directorial debut shows how much the star is adored in and outside the Hollywood communi-ty and what he’s learned after all these years in front of the camera.

And then there’s Tony Danza.

Danza pretty much stole the film for me as Gordon-Levitt’s Italian father. Getting to see Danza unleash his talent on the big screen was well worth the ticket price. When he’s in a scene with Gordon-Levitt, it’s almost magic.

2. “Gravity”The scariest movie I

may have ever seen.Sure there’s no mon-

sters, aliens or ghosts popping up from behind doors, but reality-based horror has always gotten me.

And it’s true that we may never become astro-nauts (my fingers are crossed), but if you fully immerse yourself in the environment and connect with the characters and their plight, it’s scarier than any horror movie.

Watching it in 3D was amazing and may be as close as many of us will get to floating amongst the stars.

Director Alfonso Cuarón once again push-es the envelope with his filming and visual style, creating angles and shots no one has ever done before. He uses 3D as a storytelling tool, not as a gimmick.

And plus he gives us Sandra Bullock in 3D. Probably as close to see-ing her in real life as most of us will ever get (fingers still crossed).1. “Spring Breakers”

Another film that divid-ed a lot of audiences and critics. This one pits for-mer Disney Channel stars Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez against a crazed gangster with dreads and a grill played by the always amazing James Franco.

The fact that the award season is gearing up and there’s no mention of his

name anywhere boggles the mind.

This movie is also extremely violent and can be used as a caution-ary tale for parents with daughters heading out to enjoy spring break.

There’s guns, scantily clad girls, drugs and vio-lence, but writer/director Harmony Korine blends them all together into some sort of strung out poet’s fantasy. It’s a beau-tifully shot film with an amazing score.

And if you ever want-ed to hear Franco sing some Britney Spears, this is the movie you’ve been waiting for.

Honorable mentions:

“Insidious: Chapter 2”

“This is the End”

“The East”

He was credited with chang-ing the sound of country not

once, but twice. First taking Honky Tonk music out of the rowdy dance halls to the top of the charts with “Crazy Arms” and then again taking the orchestral Nashville sound there again with “For the Good Times.”

Ray Price was born Noble Ray Price in Perryville, Texas, in 1926. In 1944, he joined the Marines and after his tour headed to Abilene to sing for KRBC.

In the early ’50s, he

relocated to Nashville, where he met and, for a brief period, lived with Hank Williams. Price was hand picked by Williams to be his caretaker on the road and would some-times have to step in for Williams when he was too drunk to perform.

Price recalled during an interview on NPR about a New Year’s gig. “I didn’t know what to do because they come running in and said you’re going to have to take Hank’s place. And I said ‘There’s no way I can do that.’

“Anyway, they put me out there with Hank’s band, and we made it all

right.”Price would later man-

age Williams’ band The Drifting Cowboys after his death.

Price formed his own band, The Cherokee Cowboys, during the ’50s and ’60s, with many leg-ends becoming members such as Roger Miller, Willie Nelson, Darrell McCall, Johnny Paycheck amongst others.

Price remembered Miller coming in to audi-tion on fiddle during an NPR interview. “His fid-dle playing was terrible,” he said with a laugh.

“And when he got through, he said, ‘How’d you like that?’ And I said ‘Well, can you sing and play guitar?’” Miller was later hired to sing and play guitar.

Miller also wrote and sang harmonies on one of Price’s earlier hits “Invitation to the Blues,” and Nelson composed the song “Night Life.”

While experimenting with the Nashville sound, Price scored his second number one hit on the country charts with “For the Good Times,” which was written by his good friend Kris Kristofferson.

Kristofferson has been quoted as saying that Price is “the link from Hank Williams and the country music of today.”

During a recent inter-view with the Associated Press, Haggard said, “He was probably the first outlaw. I think Willie (Nelson) will agree.

“He was out there fight-ing for what he believed and doing it his way and being criticized and all that. I remember when he laid the guitar down and started hiring violin players and all that, and everybody thought he was crazy. Crazy like a fox. He

knew what he was doing.”He continued to have

hits on the charts through the ’70s and ’80s, even recording some classic gospel songs along the way.

In 1996, Price was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

And as Price grew older, he never stopped touring or playing shows, even appearing twice on the Fox News show “Huckabee” with the Cherokee Cowboys and Willie Nelson.

Price’s latest album came in 2007 titled Last of the Breed, which he recorded with Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard. The trio toured from March 9 through March 25.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Haggard said, “I told Willie when it was over, ‘That old man gave us a g..d... singing lesson.’ He really did.

“He just sang so good. He sat there with the mic against his chest. And me and Willie are all over the microphone trying to find it, and he found it.”

On Nov. 6, 2012, Price

confirmed he was fight-ing pancreatic cancer. He could’ve had surgery which would’ve removed portions of his stomach and liver and caused the crooner to be bedridden for months.

“That’s not very much an option for me,” Price told the San Antonio Express-News.

“God knows I want to live as long as I can, but I don’t want to live like that.

“The doctor said that every man will get can-cer if he lives to be old enough. I don’t know why I got it—I ain’t old!”

Price continued to tour the country, playing numerous shows in South Texas, and always kept a positive outlook on his condition.

He had set up nearly a hundred shows to perform throughout 2013, but was hospitalized in May with severe dehydration.

He would never take the stage again.

He passed away at his home in Mount Pleasant, Texas, on Dec. 16, 2013, at the age of 87.

Thanks for the good times

Ray Price“Don’t look so sad, I know it’s over / But

life goes on and this old world will keep on turning / Let’s just be glad, we had some time to spend together.”

-Ray Price“For the Good Times”
