County OKs mental health deal, eyes savings Dave Rogers

For The Record

Orange County commissioners unanimously voted Tuesday to an agreement that could slash jail costs for the mentally ill. The contract with Spindletop Center for a Mental Health Liaison Deputy would cost the county zero as is funded 100 percent by the state. “The goal of the ASAP program (Assist, Stabilize and Prevent) is to work with law enforcement and a qualified mental health professional to go evaluate individuals who may be or are in crisis in the community and help get them the resources they need,” said Spindletop’s Amber Wood.

She appeared Tuesday along with Tommy Smith, a former Orange County deputy for 24 Merritt years. “We’ve taken community policing and put it into mental health,” said Smith, now a Jefferson County deputy assigned to Spindletop. “We get to know our people. We don’t just respond to a crisis after it happens. We get these people referrals before a crisis. “We try to keep them from going into in-patient treatment.” Wood and Smith cited statistics that showed probably 25 percent of people in jail

Orange City Council voted 4-2 against a resolution allowing city council members to travel out of state on the citizens’ dime. Council member Annette Pernell put forth the resolution to have such travel reimbursed by the city. Council member Terri Salter offered a second. Council member Brad Childs led the opposition and was joined by Patrick Pullen, Paul Burch and mayor Larry Spears, Jr., in voting against Pernell’s resolution at Tuesday evening’s bimonthly meeting. Pernell argued that council members needed to travel outside Texas to see how other like-sized cities were handling the type of issues Orange council deals with. She mentioned the National League of Cities meetings as an option. “I have logged over 80 hours of training with the Texas Municipal League,” Pernell said. “Texas is an amazing place … I’m asking

we broaden our horizons.” Childs didn’t agree. “We need to be good stewards of the taxpayers’ money,” he said. “All the training we need is here in Texas. We don’t need to be flying out of state.” In other action, council appointed Salter to the city’s Economic Development Corporation to fill an unexpired term ending Sept. 30 and OK’d a $175,000 EDC incentive for infrastructure improvements for First State Bank. It rezoned about a dozen lots near the intersection of S. 16th St. and Interstate 10 from commercial-special use to mixed use and it adopted an amended 2017-18 budget. The updated budget shows revenues up about $3.8 million and expenses up about $4.7 million over the numbers projected in October of last year. That’s an overall increase of $864,000 to the 1718 budget. The budget includes a $3.4 million increase in expenses that went to replace lift staORANGE COUNCIL Page 3A

DR. PAULINE HARGROVE:

Storm response makes final year ‘phenomenal’ Dave Rogers

For The Record

Fear is a powerful thing and Pauline Hargrove says it is making the world we live in far different from the one she grew up in during the 1960s. “We look at all the tragic things going on in the world and it creates fear,” she said. “And when people start reacting out of fear, it’s the knee-jerk reactions that causes them to do the things that they do that are harmful to mankind.” After 44 years as a teacher, principal and school superintendent, Hargrove is stepping away from the leadership role at the Little Cypress-Mauriceville school district. She was honored Monday with a retirement reception put on by the Board of Trustees, but says she isn’t going anywhere for a while. The board’s plan is to choose a new superintendent by July. But Hargrove plans to stay on to assist her replacement through the end of 2018. And, for sure, she’ll be around long after that – as a visitor and a volunteer. “I will still have three grandchildren at LCM High School,” she said. “I love the district. I want to

help the district by continuing to serve. I want to be an advocate for education and for kids.” Hargrove’s upbringing as the youngest of R.E. “Dick” and Billie Colburn’s three children, stressed the importance of family, faith and education. “I think we’ve got to get back to living by faith,” said the fourth-generation member of Orange’s histor-

ic First Presbyterian Church. “I think we’re in a fear versus faith situation here.” After graduating from Orange Stark High School, Hargrove followed older brothers Dickie and Jeep in obtaining an education degree, hers from Lamar. She stepped away from teaching for a few years to raise daughters April and Jeannie but was called back

to education. She spent 12 years in all teaching grades 3-8 at Mauriceville Elementary, Little Cypress Intermediate and Little Cypress Elementary, then 14 years as a principal at Mauriceville Elementary, LCE and LCM High School before 18 years as superintendent. “My mother and father HARGROVE Page 3A

Memorial Day honors country’s war dead Dave Rogers

Fly your flags on Memorial Day, Monday, May 28. The Bridge City-Orangefield Rotary Club will. Look for a line of Star Spangled Banners to pop up this weekend along West Roundbunch Road in Bridge City and along Highway 105 in Orangefield. “We used to put them out at businesses on Texas Avenue, but we had to stop doing that,” said Rotarian Jack Comer. “It got so busy it was dangerous.” Comer serves on the club’s flag committee along with Kirk Roccaforte, Jerry Jones and Steve Quibodeaux. Jason Engle helps in Orangefield. Memorial Day is just the first of six annual holidays the Rotary Clubbers fly the flags with Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Patriot Day and Veterans Day following on the calendar. Memorial Day is also called Decoration Day and it has been a national holiday since 1868. It is observed on the last Monday in May each year

During June, National Men’s Health Month, the Gift of Life, in partnership with local healthcare organizations, will provide medically underserved men with free prostate cancer screenings and primary care tests, along with educational outreach, to enhance the health and well-being of Southeast Texas. Serving as Men’s Health Month Honorary Chair is Jefferson County Fire Chief and prostate cancer survivor Earl White, who is a steadfast advocate of the organization’s initiatives to heighten awareness of men’s preventable diseases. “I am alive today because I was screened for prostate cancer,” Chief White said. “The Gift of Life is a lifeline for Southeast Texas men who cannot afford health insurance or their high deductibles and I encourage every man to get checked, it could save your life!” At the Port Arthur screening, Super Bowl Champion and Port Arthur native Joe Washington, Jr. will attend to warmly greet and welcome clients. Washington is a generous supporter of the Gift of Life and attended last year’s screening site in his hometown. “The Gift of Life is a great team,” Washington said. “You’re supposed to find your purpose in life, and maybe this is mine.

Parker Multipurpose Center; and June 30 in Orange at the West OrangeStark High School. Screening pre-registration is recommended, and walkins are accepted subject to eligibility. Gift of Life provides PSA screenings for men who are at least 45 years of age (40 if African American or younger if there is a family history of prostate cancer) and have not had prostate cancer, and who cannot afford health insurance or the high deductible. Early detection is the best protection, and statistics reflect that the five-year survival rate for men whose prostate cancer is diagnosed early is nearly 100 percent. At screening sites, clients receive comprehensive primary healthcare services— including on-site consultations with medical professionals to discuss the significance of test results and healthy lifestyle practices— educational information and navigation to necessary resources. The free panel of screenings include prostatespecific antigen (PSA), cholesterol and glucose, blood pressure, BMI, HIV, STI, and Hepatitis C tests. Gift of Life’s Men Against Cancer

Prostate Cancer Support Group members volunteer and offer assistance to clients and their families and ensure everyone receives breakfast and lunch, door prizes and other health-related materials. Gift of Life’s Prostate Cancer Support Group, Men Against Cancer, meets on the second Tuesday of each month at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church and allows men an opportunity to receive support, share experiences and gain information from featured speakers as they embark on their journey of recovery. Medical support at the screenings will be provided by Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas, University of Texas Medical Branch, Legacy Community Health, Gulf Coast Health Center, Triangle Area Network, Beaumont and Port Arthur Health Department, UTMB, UT Physicians group, and Lamar University faculty and students, all of whom are vital partners in the organization’s coordinated medical continuum of care and deliverance of regional services for medically underserved men. Since 2000, the Gift of Life has made available more than 9,300 free prostate cancer screenings and helped extend the lives of 74 men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

From The Creaux’s Nest BROKEN PROMISES President Donald Trump likes to say when he makes a promise, he keeps it. He also insist that his underlings, VP Pence, Kelly Ann, Rev. Huckabee’s little girl, press secretary Sanders and a host of others go to the airways and say, “When President Trump makes a promise he keeps it.” That’s hogwash. He’s broken most promises. Remember he promised to make Mexico pay for the wall and had his Bubba’s shouting, ‘Mexico will pay for the wall.” There are many other things he back-tracked on but none bigger than the big lie to the American people and mostly to the students of this country. Shortly after 17 people were killed at Marjory Stoneman Duglas High School, in Parkland, Fla., Trump took to the stump saying that other administrations hadn’t done anything to change gun laws and do away with assault weapons, but there’s no reason for citizens to have them. He said, “Just send me a bill, I’ll sign it.” A couple of days later, the NRA came calling. They must have put a horse head at the foot of his bed. The yellow stuff ran out of his neck and he never mentioned it again. Then here comes the Santa Fe High School shooting, killing 10 people and wounding 10 others. This marked the 22nd school shooting where someone was hurt or killed so far this year and we are just in May. Trump offers, “Prayers and condolences” and then comes discussions of sorrow, helplessness and outrage and another futile call for gun control with no meaning. There is a noticeable absence of action at the Federal level about gun violence. It’s Déjà-Vu all over again as we wait for the 23rd mass hooting. Meanwhile, Texas politicians are using the Santa Fe shooting for scoring political points. Lt. Gov. Patrick even compared it to abortion. Gov. Abbott said he will host a series of roundtable discussions to find solutions to improve school safety. Here’s what they are going to do, focus on mental health, arming school teachers etc. Texas has some of the most gun friendly laws in the U.S. Everyone knows what needs to happen but with the political climate in Texas it will be a lot of talking for awhile and then shelved until next time.*****Hope on board and come along. I promise it won’t do you no harm.

CONGRATULATIONS Our longtime friend Becky Rutledge, is the 2018 recipient of the Athena Leadership award. Having known her all these many years I know of no one who is more deserving. She was blessed with a great dad, Miles Hall, mom Ann and stepfather W.T. Oliver, who was my best friend. He loved Becky but would have made a joke out of her winning this special award. He probably would have said something like, “Bear, I knew if you hung around with David long enough, you would amount to something special.” I bet she agrees. We love you Bear.

LSU LEGEND BILLY CANNON DIES Football legend Billy Cannon, the 1959 Heisman Trophy winner, died early Sunday at age 80. Cannon died at his home in St. Francisville, La. “There may be no other figure in LSU sports who was more beloved and revered. Cannon let the Tigers to a national championship in 1958 and won the Heisman the following year, highlighted by his famous tackle breaking 89-yard punt return that beat Mississippi 7-3. I was listening to that game on radio on the banks of the Brazos River. He was a hero to all of us Cajun guys.

Turning back the hands of time 10 Years Ago-2008 After Lamar being out of the football for 19 years, I see where the university hired Roy Woodward as football coach. The first competitive season will be in 2010.

Their little sister, Allison, is also a star player for Bridge City. Big brother Kevin, a great high school and college pitcher, is a pro prospect in baseball. The youngster’s parents are Lee and Connie. Someone asked where all that talent comes from. Clint Landry said, “That’s those good Landry genes.” Connie is Clint’s sister. Clint was a good athlete; his son was a star college player and is head baseball coach at HamshireFanette. I’m not sure about the athletic ability but I know those four outstanding youngsters have fine parents and that’s where it starts.*****Special birthday wishes May 30th to Amber Dunn, our girl in medical school in El Paso.*****This Thursday, May 29, our longtime friend and Bridge City businessman, Pharmacist Douglas Roy Harrington will hang it up after 40 odd years. Doug and Harrington’s Drug Store have been fixtures in the community. Doug has sold the pharmacy. The neighborhood won’t be the same after all these years without Doug around. He’s seen the community

Two Beaumont educators, Dr. Dorothy Gray and Denise Wenzel lost their lives. Missy had extensive injuries and remains in Mexico City hospital in grave danger.*****In 1999, a barrel of oil in Odessa brought $10. When the U.S. invaded Iraq, oil was $23.70 a barrel. Last week it went for $135 a barrel. When Bush took office he was worth $16 million, Cheney was worth $37 million.

Gas prices shot up above $3.80 a gallon. That was under the administration of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. When they assumed office from Bill Clinton, gasoline at the pump was 97 cents a gallon. (Editor’s note: Now that John Bolton talked Trump into getting out of the Iran deal, the same thing will happen. Gas is headed to $3.50 a gallon.)*****Last Saturday, May 20, in Baltimore, the Kentucky Derby winner Justify won the Preakness for a bid for the Triple Crown in the Belmont race, just three weeks away.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK My Aunt Clotile her, is a hipoconriat. She runs to da doctor every little pain dat she imagines. Well, las week, she went to do doctor again. Dis time she claimed to have terrible pains all over. Da nurse took her to one of the lil rooms. In about 10 or 8 minutes, Dr. C.C. Hebert came in an axe, “Clotile, were you hurt hanh?” “Doc, me I hurt all over,” as the doctor watched, Clotile touched her wrist wit her finger.” “Ayaille,” she cried out. “Where else you hurt Clotile?” Doc axed. She touched the top of her head, “Ayaille,” she cried out again. “You hurt somewhere else?” Dr. Hebert axe. “Mais yea, watch,” She touched her knee and screamed out, “Oh, yea, yaille.” Doctor Hebert checked all those hurting spots den he looked at her finger. Clotile axe “I’m sick bad huh doc, I’m gunna die hanh?” “No, no Clotile, dats not true. Only ting dat’s wrong wit you is dat your finger it’s broke in two places.”

C’EST TOUT Chase Shugart, Michael Arnaud, Sports Stars With a three game sweep of TCU, Texas won the Big 12 Conference. The Longhorns will next head to the Big 12 Tournament, to be played at Brickyard Ball Park, in Oklahoma City. Chase Shugart, a former Bridge City baseball standout, has been the Longhorn’s number two starting pitcher. Shugart, a junior right hander, started and pitched five innings in game two against TCU leaving with a 3-3 tie. UT won on a two run homer by Kody Clemens, (Roger’s youngest son) in the bottom of the ninth. While in Bridge City, Chase was District MVP as a junior. That year he struck out 127 batters and posted a 10-1 record while also playing third base and hitting .350. He was coached by Chad Landry. Chase is expected to see a lot of action while in the Big 12 Tourney as the Longhorns chase the National Championship.*****Michael Arnaud, 37 year old West Orange-Stark graduate, in his 15th season as a professional golfer, shot 11 under 60 in Friday’s second round of a four-day tourney. He finished 27 under par to win the BMW Charity Pro-Am, in Greenville, S.C. His winners check was $126,000. This is Michael’s 15th season as a pro. He only got into this tournament as an alternate at the last minute when another player called in sick. He still plays a lot at Sunset Grove, in Orange, but says he is currently calling Covington, La. home.*****That about does it for me for another week. I still have my Armadillo problem and last weekend I was also invaded by horse flies. What is that about? Where did they come from? So, instead of being outdoors at 6 a.m. Saturday like I had planned, I went indoors and watched the Prince Harry and Megan, Duchess of Sussex, wedding. Millions throughout the world watched this beautiful ceremony. I admire the 1968 Jag they drove off in. I once bought a ’68 Jaguar, slept on it and called the New Orleans dealer the next morning and backed out of the deal. I have regretted doing that for years but it was a lot of money for me then.*****Please read us cover to cover. Shop our advertisers when you can. They make this publication possible.

Jasper ends BC baseball playoff run Bridge City’s 2018 baseball team ended its season with a 25-9 record. The end came last Friday, May 18, in Nederland, as Jasper took a 9-3 win to complete a best-of-three sweep of the Cardinals. Jasper had taken the opener 4-1, in Jasper, on Wednesday, May 16. In that game, Jasper pitcher Colton Womack limited BC batters to three hits and a single fourth-inning run in a complete game. Cace Skinner doubled home Jackson Tims, who had drawn a two-out walk, to put BC up 1-0 midway through the fourth. But the Bulldogs evened things in the bottom of the fourth when Leo Escalante slugged a solo homer off Card ace Peyton Havard.

Hamm opened the bottom of the first with a double, was advanced to third by Schuyler Thibodaux’s sacrifice and scored on an RBI grounder by Caleb DuBois. Jasper tied the game with a run in the second, took the lead with another solo marker in the third, then added two runs in the fourth and another in the fifth off pitchers Jacob Goodman, Justyn Romero and Hamm. After Yadon’s double and a single by Hamm, Thibodaux made it 5-2 in the bottom of the fifth with another RBI grounder. It was 8-2 by the next Cardinal at-bat, when Luc Hollier scored the final BC run by singling, taking second on an error, third on a grounder and scoring on a passed ball. Bridge City picked up seven hits in this game, but Jasper batters racked up a dozen hits. Hamm, Romero and Yadon had two hits each for the Cards in their season finale.

TPWD Reminds Texans to Stay Safe on the Water Staff Report For The Record

AUSTIN - As part of National Safe Boating Week May 19-25, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department boater education and law enforcement are reminding Texans to be safe this summer by following the law and taking basic safety precautions while on the water. In 2017, 45 boating fatalities occurred on Texas wa-

ters, an increase of more than 28 percent from 2016. On top of that, marine enforcement officers logged 172 boating accidents and 83 boating related injuries. While boating fatalities and accidents can be caused by a variety of circumstances, surviving an accident on the water boils down to one important precaution - wearing a life jacket or personal flotation device (PFD). “Wearing a life jacket is the

most important strategy boaters can take to stay safe on the water,” said Tim Spice, TPWD Boater Education Manager. “The overwhelm-

ing majority of boating fatalities are caused by drowning and most of those drowning victims are recovered without a life jacket.”

Next Week’s Issue State law requires that a life jacket must be available for each occupant of the boat and children under 13 years of age are mandated to wear one while the boat or paddle craft is underway or drifting. Despite these laws, in Texas

When healthy, J.J. Watt ranks among the most dominant defensive players in the game. However, injuries have derailed his career the past two years. He missed all but three games in 2016 with a back injury and suffered a left tibial fracture five games into last season.

Texans concerned about Watt, Watson as OTAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s begin

KAZâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S KORNER JOE KAZMAR

FOR THE RECORD î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e NBA playoďŹ&#x20AC;s have not yet been resolved but football is already popping into the pro sports picture as most National Football League teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;including the Houston Texansâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;began their annual organized team activities (OTAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) Monday at Houston Methodist Training Center. According to Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edition of the Houston Chronicle, the nine-week oďŹ&#x20AC;-season training program began April 21 and will conclude with three weeks of OTAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Head Coach Bill Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien and his staďŹ&#x20AC; will now get to coach the players in seven-on-seven, nine-on-seven and 11-on-11 drills. Players canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit, but this part of the oďŹ&#x20AC;-season program will give the coaches and personnel department a good idea of where they stand going into training camp at West Virginia in six weeks. Last year the Texans had 20 players put on injured reserve, including 13 starters. In an eďŹ&#x20AC;ort to reduce these serious injuries, the team hired Luke Richesson as the new senior director of sports performance and his staďŹ&#x20AC;. Richesson had the weight room and cafeteria remodeled and brought a new philosophy to the organization they hope will contribute to fewer injuries than the Texans suďŹ&#x20AC;ered last year, according to the Chronicle article. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four months after Richesson was hired, players have bought into his teaching methods and the way he is trying the culture when it comes to strength, conditioning, diet and rehabilitation, among other things,â&#x20AC;? the article points out. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e players spent four hours a day at the facility. Coaches could work with the players on the ďŹ eld without team drills. It was mostly about conditioning with Richesson and the mental part of the game, including fundamentals. During this stage of the program, players must spend six hours a day at the facility. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e 10 OTAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are spread over three weeks. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;is is when the coaches watch the players as they go through their drills and will get a better idea of where they are physically and mentally. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e ďŹ nal part of the program is the minicamp, the only mandatory portion of the oďŹ&#x20AC;-season

program. Players take physicals when they report and spend 10 hours a day at the facility. Two players not participating in the OTAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or minicamp are second-year quarterback Deshaun Watson and three-time MVP J.J. Watt, both who spent most of last season on injured reserve last season. Watson is expected to return to action by the regular-season opener in September. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ahead of schedule which gives the Texans optimism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have great conďŹ dence in Deshaun Watson and his work ethic,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien told the USA Today Sports Weekly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel lucky to have the opportunity to coach him. I love the kid.â&#x20AC;? When healthy, Watt ranks among the most dominant defensive players in the game. However, injuries have derailed his career the past two years. He missed all but three games in 2016 with a back injury and suffered a left tibial fracture ďŹ ve games into last season. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e Texans have been very patient with Wattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rehabilitation because he might not return to full strength until training camp. Unfortunately, Houstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense struggled without him the past two seasons and the hope is that Watt can regain his all-pro form. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e Texans picked up two veteran defensive additions through free agency this spring in cornerback Aaron Colvin and safety Tyrann (Honey Badger) Mathieu. However, they lost safety Marcus Gilchrist and quarterback Tom Savage to free agency. KWICKIESâ&#x20AC;ŚWhile rehabilitating, Houston Texansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; J.J. Watt was busy taking care of the Hurricane Harvey ďŹ&#x201A;ood victims in the Houston area, raising more than $37 million for their relief and this week is paying for the 10 funerals of the students and teachers who were gunned down last week at nearby Santa Fe High School. Watt is adding to his image as an All-American boy. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e Dallas Cowboys will have a tough time replacing their stellar pass-catching duo of tight end Jason Witten and wide receiver Dez Bryant. Witten got an oďŹ&#x20AC;er he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t refuse when ESPN asked him to work Monday Night Football while Bryant was waived for being unproductive the past two seasons. Like I said last week, I was looking for a horse that could

beat Justify in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. When word came that it had been raining there for the past three days, I was convinced no horse could beat him on a sloppy track. I really like runner-up Bravaso and think he could beat Justify on a fast track. I had him in my exacta, which made the trip to Vinton worthwhile. My grandson Logan Smith needed only ďŹ ve pitches Sunday to pick up a save as Army downed Navy 8-5 at Annapolis. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e West Point Black Knights were comfortably ahead 8-2 when Navy erupted for three runs in the ninth inning and had two runners on with the tying run coming to bat. Logan had his work cut out because the batter at the plate hit three homers when the two teams met at Fenway Park and then West Point two weeks ago. Logan was mobbed by his teammates after coaxing a lazy ďŹ&#x201A;y out to center ďŹ eld. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e victory clinched the Patriot Conference Championship for Army and earned them a berth in the upcoming NCAA Regional Tournament. After more than two years, former Texas Aggie Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel has ďŹ nally found a pro football team thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s willing to put up with his oďŹ&#x20AC;-ďŹ eld antics when he signed last weekend with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e quarterbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last game came at the end of the 2015 season. Former LSU and American Football League star Billy Cannon passed away last weekend at the age of 80.

Little Cypress-Mauriceville freshman Jack Burke recently concluded a fantastic season by ďŹ nishing 11th in the recent Class 4A State Golf Championships last week. Burke, who won seven high school tournaments this season, had rounds of 77 and 81 to lead all freshmen in the state.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too much longer when Michael decided to try pro golf, which turned out to be quite a grind. He qualiďŹ ed for 48 tournaments and earned around $138,000. While playing last weekend in the Web.com Tourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BMW Charity Pro Am in Greer, South Carolina, Arnaud ďŹ red a course record 60 and then won the event by ďŹ ve shots and broke the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record by two strokes.

OUTDOORS WEEKLY CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE FOR THE RECORD

School is out and summer ďŹ shing is in! For the majority of our area students school is almost over for the year, for some itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already over. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e much anticipated free days of summer are now upon us and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this time of the year that is tailor made for taking a youngster ďŹ shing. During the school year everyone is conďŹ ned to schedules that only allow free time on the weekends, which coincidentally is when everyone else is free. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e crowds are much larger on the weekends and who knows if the ďŹ sh have ďŹ gured out what Saturday and Sunday mean. It is awfully diďŹ&#x192;cult to get the ďŹ sh biting and your free time to happen at the same time. With a wide open calendar and a little bit of ďŹ&#x201A;exibility in

schedules, parents can treat their kids to a great day on the water during this time of the year. Weather patterns begin to stabilize as the long summer season here in east Texas takes command. Lighter winds mean more comfortable outings as well as plenty more options for places to ďŹ sh. During the spring most ďŹ sherman are conďŹ ned to areas that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t whitecapping so a large portion of our local waters tend to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;oďŹ&#x20AC; limitsâ&#x20AC;? unless you can stand some rough seas. Several seasonal programs come into play during this time of the year which can really produce some super fishing. One of the more popular ways to catch fish is to use live bait, either under a cork or fished on the bottom. Fishing live bait on Sabine Lake means mostly throwing shad or mullet because they are much easier to come by. Most local anglers who throw live bait have become handy with a cast net in order to catch their bait, this can be a great way to get a kid involved. I know I have spent several hours just explaining what different kinds

of fish or other critters we catch are to children on my boat during the last couple of years. Another summer program that may come back into play this year is chasing schooling ďŹ sh. Last year we had an unbelievable summer chasing ďŹ&#x201A;ocks of gulls that were feeding on brown shrimp which were driven to the surface by schools of hungry trout and redďŹ sh. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;is wide open action is just what the doctor ordered when it comes to getting kids interested in the sport of ďŹ shing, lots of ďŹ sh and very little down time. If you happen to get in on some of that crazy action you will understand what I am talking about. Whatever way you decide to chase ďŹ sh this summer please be sure and take a kid along, they will always remember the trip. Get some good information and ask questions so your time on the water can be as good as it possibly can. After all catching ďŹ sh is just a small part of the game when you think about it, being with your kids and spending some quality time together is what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about.

The Record â&#x20AC;˘ Week of Wednesday, May 23, 2018 â&#x20AC;˘

The smallest change makes biggest difference DICKIE COLBURN FISHING REPORT FOR THE RECORD

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We either have to ďŹ sh the ship channel or Keith Lake if we are going to catch any trout,â&#x20AC;? stated a frustrated David Lowe.â&#x20AC;&#x153; Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got no wind to speak of, the water clarity is better and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still not catching ďŹ sh. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run down south or go ďŹ sh my brush piles for crappie on Toledo Bend!â&#x20AC;? I opted for the second choice as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather eat crappie than any other ďŹ sh, but because we were already on Sabine Lake we ducked into the Intracoastal and headed south.Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long boring run, but it proved to be a good decision. With no speciďŹ c game plan in mind, as soon as we found a little clearer water I dropped the troll motor in the water and we started working the scattered rocks with a She Dog and a

C a t c h 2000.We had been ďŹ shing those same two lures all morning long while avoiding bank ďŹ sherman and caught and released only three small trout. I heard the trout slam Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s topwater and turned around just as his 18-inch ďŹ sh went airborne.Two casts later my snagged crankbait magically turned into a slot red and ďŹ shing was fun again.When I picked up the troll motor to try another stretch of rocks about thirty minutes later, we already had one more red, a ďŹ&#x201A;ounder and seven keeper trout in the box. Aside from catching ďŹ sh, the best part of it all was the fact that there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t another boat in sight.î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e farther south we

ran, the more ďŹ shermen we saw, so we had apparently picked an unpopular spot to start our search. As the incoming tide picked up its pace our bite slowed signiďŹ cantly.David switched to a four inch silver shiner Usual Suspect and simply bounced the bait oďŹ&#x20AC; the bottom in six to eight feet of water. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e change of tactics yielded three quick trout, but cost him four lures as well as the rocks were unforgiving. I switched to drop shotting a four inch Sea Shad to minimize hang-ups and caught two more trout before Dave made the same change.We only kept twelve trout, but could have easily kept two limits by the time the sun cooked the fun out of the catching.It was a learning experience, but I was a little miďŹ&#x20AC;ed that I had chosen to curse the wind and a dirty lake day after day rather than make

Hardin welcomed by DAR ANNE PAYNE For î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e Record Margaret Hardin of Groves finds it touching that she was asked to tell the history of her stoic mother at the end-of-year May 15 meeting for the Orange William Diamond chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). She entitles her presentation, "I Remember Mama; Home and Sheep." DAR has as its emphasis to honor strong and courageous women, but Hardin finds the subject of her mother a very emotional subject to address. With her tri-fold board in the background with treasured family photos and her mother's salt block container in her hands, Hardin breaks her mom's story into three parts, Chapter 1: 1901-1920 in Wyoming and Nebraska; Chapter 2: 1924-1949 in Nebraska, Texas, and Louisiana; and Chapter 3: 1950-1974 in New Mexico and Texas. Hardin's mom was born in 1906 in a sheep wagon, also known as a covered wagon, and lived in it for six years with her two sisters in Wyoming, while her mom's father became a sheephearder for others who

MARGARET HARDIN leased land to house herds of sheep. The family homesteaded land in the northeast corner of Wyoming near the borders of the Dakotas, building a home on the prairie. During the drought of 191112, Hardin's mama moved with a sister and her mother to College View, Wyoming, where her mama graduated high school and married her husband, Chaffe. She proceeded to have six children in eight years. Hardin added that the years of the Depression and the WPA were tough for her parents and her siblings. Hardin

was born in Lincoln, Nebraska. Hardin recalls her family eating government items such as lots of graprefruit, beets, and potatoes, as well as wearing dresses that had stamped inside, "Not to be sold," since dresses were from the U.S. government. Eventually, Hardin's dad traveled to Fort Worth, Texas, to obtain work in a Bomber factory since there was no work in Wyoming or Nebraska. Later, the family moved from Fort Worth to Reeves, Louisiana, where her dad attended a sheet metal school. Hardin herself later moved to Lake Charles and then married in 1949. Meanwhile, in 1950, Hardin's parents moved to Pawakee, New Mexico, where her dad worked at Los Alamos, but bought an old military barracks for which his family to live. Her dad then worked in Fort Bliss for work, and finally landed in El Paso, Texas, staying there for 25 years. Hardin's mother passed in 1975. Hardin added that her mama exemplified selfless love, and taught her to be content in her concerns.

Memorial Day: For Remembering make every day, as long as it is called today, a memorial day (Hebrews 3:13). Let us “take care lest [we] forget the Lord” (Deuteronomy 6:12).

Jon Bloom Staff writer desiringGod.org Memorial Day, as Americans have come to know it, began in the years immediately following the Civil War. But until World War II, most people knew it as “Decoration Day.” It was a day to decorate with flowers and flags the graves of fallen soldiers and remember those who had given, as Lincoln beautifully said, “the last full measure of devotion” to defend their nation. It was a day to remember what the honored dead had died to defend. A century and a half has passed since Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox, effectively ending a national nightmare that filled over 625,000 American graves with dead soldiers. Since then, other international nightmares have ravaged the world and put more than 650,000 additional Americans into war graves in Europe, North Africa, the Pacific Rim, Asia, and the Middle East. Remembering Is for the Future Memorial Day is an important national moment. It is a day to do more than barbeque. It is right and wise to remember the great price some have paid to preserve the historically unprecedented civil and religious freedoms we Americans have the luxury to take largely for granted. But the importance of Memorial Day is more for our future than it is for our past. It is crucial that we remember the nightmares and why they happened. We forget them at our own peril. The future of the United States depends in large amount on how well we collectively remember and cherish what liberty really is and the terror of tyranny. There is a high cost to forgetting. In the words of George Santayana’s famous aphorism, “Those who cannot remember the

past are condemned to repeat it.” A Memorial People Christians, of all people, understand the crucial importance of remembering. Christians are “memorial people” because the whole of our faith depends upon remembering. Those who persevere into the glorious future are those who remember the gracious past. That’s why God has surrounded us with memorials. The entire Bible itself is a memorial. We meditate on it daily to remember. The Sabbath was a memorial to Israel’s freedom from Egyptian slavery (Deuteronomy 5:15), and the church switched it to Sundays as a memorial to Christ’s resurrection and our freedom from sin. Israel’s great gathering feast days were memorials (Exodus 13:3). And now each time a local church gathers, each Lord’s Supper celebration (1 Corinthians 11:24–26), each baptism, each Christmas celebration, and each Easter celebration is a memorial. Remembering God’s past grace is necessary to fuel our faith in God’s future grace for us.† This makes the memory one of God’s most profound, mysterious, and merciful gifts granted to us. God

designed it to be a means of preserving (persevering) grace for his people. We neglect it at our own peril. The future of the church, globally and locally, and of each Christian depends largely on how well we remember the gospel of Jesus, all his precious and very great promises, and the successes and failures of church history. Scripture warns us that if we fail to remember, we will be condemned to submit again to sin’s and hell’s enslavement (Hebrews 6:4–8). Such warnings are graces to help us remember. So as we commemorate Memorial Day as Americans, let us do it with profound gratitude for the extraordinary common grace given to us when men and women laid their lives down for the sake of America’s survival. And let us remember the past evils that we may not repeat them in the future. And as Christians, let us

On May 15, 2018, Entergy Texas, Inc. (“ETI” or the “Company”) filed its STATEMENT OF INTENT AND APPLICATION FOR AUTHORITY TO CHANGE RATES (“Application”). ETI filed its Application with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (“Commission”) and with the municipal authorities in its service territory that have original jurisdiction over the Company’s electric rates. Statement of Intent to Change Rates In the Application, ETI proposes an increase in its base rates and rider rates designed to collect a total non-fuel retail amount for ETI of approximately $926.0 million per year, which is an increase of approximately $16.7 million, or 1.84%, compared to adjusted test year retail base rate and rider revenues, exclusive of fuel revenues. This proposal represents an increase in overall revenues, including fuel, of 1.16%. ETI’s proposed rates and revenues reflect the inclusion of a limited-term Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”) Rider that is designed to return approximately $201.7 million of unprotected excess accumulated deferred federal income taxes over a period of two years. Without regard for any other changes that may occur during that period,1 after the first two years the change in the non-fuel retail amount would be 12.92% or $117,517,624, or an 8.18% increase if fuel were included. The Application is based on a 12-month test year ending December 31, 2017. ETI requests inclusion in rate base of capital additions closed to plant in the period of April 1, 2013 through the end of the test year, as well as a post-test year adjustment to include capital additions placed in service by June 30, 2018. In addition to approval of ETI’s reasonable and necessary operating expenses, capital additions closed through June 2018, and the TCJA Rider, the Application also includes the following requests, among others: •

approval of a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”)-Established Revenue and Cost Rider, which would provide for a dollar-for-dollar pass-through, subject to reconciliation, of (1) capacity costs and credits associated with certain purchased power agreements; (2) incremental wholesale transmission costs and credits associated with Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc. (“MISO”) membership; and (3) other MISO revenue and costs.

•

amortization over three years of a regulatory asset of approximately $20.5 million for expenses incurred in response to Hurricane Harvey;

•

approval of a regulatory asset of approximately $21.3 million to collect unrecovered capital cost associated with the Spindletop Natural Gas Storage Facility;

•

approval of a request to place in base rates costs currently being recovered through ETI’s Distribution Cost Recovery Factor and Transmission Cost Recovery Factor;

•

approval of a Rate Case Expense (“RCE”) Rider designed to recover approximately $3.4 million per year for three years in rate case expenses the Company will incur in developing and pursuing this rate proceeding and did incur in the appeals of Docket Nos. 39896 and 40295 (including expenses related to these matters that were billed to ETI by certain municipalities in the Company’s service territory);

•

approval of other tariff changes, including, but not limited to, those related to Miscellaneous Electric Service and Lighting; and

•

approval of requested waivers to certain Commission rules.

To the extent a proposed new rider or schedule is not approved as a separate rider or schedule, ETI proposes to recover such costs through its base rates. Effect on Customer Classes The rate change proposed in the Application will affect all customers and classes of customers receiving retail electric service from ETI. The following table shows the effect of the proposed base rate and tariff changes on existing rate classes, including with and without the effects of the TCJA Rider: Rate Class
