Cedar Creek teen to compete
in Miss een USA in Houston
Samantha Massie, a 15-year-old sophomore at Cedar
Creek High School, is competing in the Miss Teen USA
pageant in Houston next month, erin green / Austin community
NEWSPAPERS
Vicki Lyn James
All About Cedar Creek
Samantha (Sammi to
her friends and fami-
ly) Massie is a 15-year-
old sophomore at Ce-
dar Creek High School
who will be competing
in the Miss Teen USA in
Houston in November
and representing Cedar
Creek.
“I started her in pag-
eants when she was 7
months old in Austin and
she won it,” said Shirley
Monagas, Sammi’s moth-
er. “At U/2, she went to At-
lanta and competed in
the nationals.”
She is not one of your
pageant moms that you
see on TV. She said the
trip to Georgia was a re-
al eye opener for her.
One thing that stood out
was a mother taking pic-
tures of her little one all
dressed up by the pool,
when all the child want-
ed to do was swim with
the other little girls.
“Some of those moms
really are crazy,” she
said.
As Sammi got older,
started losing her baby
teeth and other chang-
es took place, she didn’t
want to do pageants any-
more and wanted to go
into modeling. So model-
ing she did and was even
looked at by a prestigious
agency, but it never ma-
terialized into anything.
Sammi has been very
active in her school, both
in softball and cheerlead-
ing. The Sammi you see
at CCHS usually has her
hair tied back in a pony-
tail: A typical teen.
I asked how she came
to be in this pageant if
she had quit.
“She came to me and
said she wanted to try
pageants again, so I told
her go for it,” Monagas
said. “Get your picture
and resume together and
send it in.”
She did, and not on-
ly was she accepted, but
asked to represent Cedar
Creek. Monagas will take
her to Houston, but will
not stay with her. They
are well chaperoned and
will be going through ma-
ny different aspects to get
ready for the pageant.
From the local level
to the international lev-
el, delegates are judged
in three areas. The in-
terview focuses on suc-
cesses, talents, goals and
ambitions. Attention is
focused on her poise,
charm, self-confidence
and ability to communi-
cate, as well as the sub-
stance of her answers.
The swimsuit competi-
tion focuses on beauty of
face, figure, physical fit-
ness and the confidence
with which each contes-
tant carries herself. Nu-
merical measurements
are not considered in the
judging.
The evening gown
competition focuses on
the contestant’s overall
appearance, self-confi-
dence, sense of style and
the beauty she brings to
the gown of her choice.
With this pageant,
there is no talent com-
petition and they don’t
have to have any experi-
ence.
So, Cedar Creekers,
keep Sammi in your
prayers and wish her
good luck as she goes to
represent us in this pag-
eant.

TRAFFIC ACCIDENT
Bastrop man
dies in crash
2010 BHSgrad
pronounced dead
at scene of accident.

One Bastrop High School
graduate is dead, another
is in the hospital with seri-
ous injuries and a third was
treated and released af-
ter a single-vehicle wreck
Oct. 24 in Austin.
According to the Aus-
tin Police Department,
21-year-old Phillip Seth
Parks of Bastrop, a 2010
graduate of Bastrop High
School, a back passenger
in the vehicle, was pro-
nounced dead at the scene
of a crash in the 1800
block of Texas 71 East at
about 9:15 p.m. Oct. 24.
Front passenger Tra-
vis Berdoll sustained se-
rious injuries in the crash
and was transported to
University Medical Center
Braclcenridge.
Driver CJ Chamblee, al-
so a 2010 graduate of BHS,
sustained non-life-threat-
ening injuries. He was
treated and released.
According to the APD,
Chamblee was driving a
2001 Toyota Tundra west-
bound in the left lane of
Texas 71 when the truck
left the roadway unin-
tentionally. Chamblee al-
legedly overcorrected,
sending the truck into a
slide. The truck rolled sev-
eral times, ejecting Parks.
The APD says alcohol is
not a factor in the crash,
which is still under investi-
gation. It is Austin’s 61st fa-
tal traffic crash of 2013.
Anyone with any infor-
mation regarding the ac-
cident is asked to call the
APD Vehicular Homicide
Unit at 512-974-5594.
