Calvin Walker, a former Beaumont ISD electrician, remains free pending appeal—Judge John Stevens ordered him to transfer three Jefferson County properties worth about $164,000 to the district and to pay $1,000 monthly restitution toward a $1,171,828 debt from theft, with his appeal bond at risk if he fails to make reasonable progress.

A cat named 15 was rescued from a van in the H-E-B lot on College Street and now lives at Beaumont Animal Care where she awaits a loving home—she is featured as the Enterprise's Pet of the Week.

On Friday night, the high school football regular season ended in Southeast Texas as teams battled in the final games to decide district championships—scores showed wins by Barbers Hill over West Brook and Beaumont United over Baytown Sterling among several close contests.

An LC-M assistant coach, Hunter Gonzales, was suspended for the season and given two-year probation after he pocketed a Bridge City communication watch during a game on October 24—UIL officials voted Friday to take action following the investigation.
