HEMPHILL, Texas (AP) — Under blue skies and birds chirping
from a telephone line, the 71-year-old retiree tells how he and his wife
moved to this small, sleepy town to find some quiet. It took a few
weeks, but they finally got it.
Finis Brewer and his wife Jeta, who had just bought some vacant
buildings to renovate near downtown, moved their last boxes of
belongings from Tyler to Hemphill the day before the space shuttle
Columbia broke apart over the area.
The couple awoke the next morning to tragedy, and, living in their
travel trailer parked next to the town’s volunteer fire department, they
became the next-door neighbors to the biggest search and recovery
operation in history.
With the search for human remains mostly complete in Sabine
County, NASA, FBI and officials from dozens of other agencies that
had been working out of the fire department in Hemphill have gone
home. Camouflaged military vehicles that once parked along street'
and rumbled along highways have disappeared. And a muddy slaboi
land across from Brewer’s buildings, once crawling with reporter
scurrying between satellite trucks, is empty.
In nearby San Augustine, where a swamp of federal and state vehi
cles had once surrounded the local civic center and oozed into the part;-
ing lots of nearby businesses, only a few yellow portable toilets anda
couple of tents where debris had been stored remained.
Traffic resumed on one of Hemphill’s main thorouglifares after offi
cials removed large .orange and white barricades that had blocked
access to Brewer’s newly purchased buildings.
Brewer finally saw fit Saturday morning to place “For Rent"signs
in the windows.
“We’re turning this back into a town,” said Bob Miller, a federal
spokesman who works for the National Parks Service in Tennessee.
Meanwhile, the Brewers are hoping the transition to nomialcyisa
speedy one. They're still waiting to get a phone line. Brewer said the
phone company told him that every phone line in town wastakenand
it could be weeks before one is available.

Fifteen questions. Twenty
different people. What did they
have to say? What would you
have to say?
All week MSC Film Society
will be bringing independent
films from all over the nation
and even other countries.
Each day at 5 PM will start
off with at least one
collection of themed Shorts
from Animation to Romantic
to Aggie-made. Then, one to
three Features will follow
usually with a Q&A session
with one of our director or
actor guests from the film.
Our festival is in its tenth
year and is the LARGEST
student-run festival in the
nation! Please don’t be
discouraged by the notion of
low-budget films. Some have
exploded into main-stream,
with their start at festivals
such as My Big Fat Greek
Wedding and The Blair
Witch Project. This year
alone has revealed two
Oscar nominations for films
that have been shown here
(Daughter From Danang,
Spellbound). So give us a try,
and come join us at Rudder
Theater this week for this
awesome opportunity.
A daily schedule will be printed in each
Battalion this week. A full schedlue and more
detailed descriptions of all our films can be
found at txfilmfest.tamu.edu.
