Bassmaster Open set to splash Sabine Dave Rogers

For The Record

High-dollar pro bass fishing returns to the Sabine River Thursday, Friday and Saturday, meaning the area around the Orange Boat Ramp will be a beehive of activity. Tents and trailers and carnival rides were being set up Tuesday. Motel traffic was picking up along with wait times at area restaurants. The Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Southern Open will put almost 400 fishermen on the water in 192 boats from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday and Friday, with the field being cut to the top 12 pros and coanglers for Saturday’s finale, with the fishing schedule the same. The winning pro will take home about $50,000 in cash and prizes while the top coangler wins $25,000 in prizes. “We have about 395 anglers from out of town here this week practicing for the tournament,” County Commissioner John Gothia said Tuesday.

“More importantly, they’re staying in our hotels and eating in our restaurants – spending money. “And we Gothia have some great family events planned.” The Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce coordinates the event, along with the B.A.S.S. tournament organization and hotel occupancy tax monies from the city of Orange and Orange County. Attendance is free. Weigh-ins will be held each day at 3 p.m. and live music is scheduled for 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday. A kids’ carnival, shows by Gator Country, and a kids’ fishing tank will keep the young ones busy. Food vendors will be on site. The entertainment schedule has local bands Friday – Curse and the Cure at 6 p.m.; LN and The Crush at 7:303 p.m.; The Ruxpins at 9 p.m. Saturday, Britt Godwin &

the Kids’ Fish Tank open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday and Saturday. “There will be a lot of activities other than the fishing going on every day that you’ll

see at the weigh-in,” Gothia said. “Of course, it’s a fun, family-filled event. We want people to come and have a good time.” Orange hosted the

Texas conducts hurricane exercise Staff Report For The Record

AUSTIN –The Texas Department of Public Safety’s (DPS) Texas Division of Emergency Management hosted representatives from approximately 30 agencies at the Texas State Operations Center in Austin for a large-scale hurricane exercise, dubbed Hurricane Charlie. The Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM), along with the state agencies and partner or-

ganizations with the Texas Emergency Management Council, are conducting the week-long hurricane exercise with various local officials and federal partners to prepare for the upcoming hurricane season, which began June 1 and continues through November 30. DPS is also reminding Texans to make plans now to protect themselves and their families before a storm develops. “This week, our local, state and federal emergency management leaders are conducting a large-scale hurricane exercise to bolster our preparedness efforts for this year’s hurricane season,” said TDEM Chief Nim Kidd. “Early preparation is critical to saving lives when a hurricane or severe weather occurs, so we are asking the public to do just that – get ready now.” The Hurricane Charlie exercise enables local, state, federal and private sector emergency management partners to practice evacuation, sheltering and continuity of operations plans. The mock Category 3 hurricane will create a 20-foot storm surge and take aim at the Texas coast, ultimately making landfall just west of Galveston – and accordingly, numerous local agencies in the area are also participating in this exercise. All Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coastal areas are subject to hurricanes or tropical storms. It is possible for a storm to severely impact our state, even prior to or without making direct landfall in Texas.

The Kiwanis Club of Orange recently presented two $1,000 scholarships to students from local high schools. The QB Culpepper Leadership Award was given to Bailey Noah, a graduate of Little Cypress-Mauriceville High School. Bailey will study telecommunications at Texas A & M University. Jared Dupree, a West Orange-Stark graduate, received the Ben Culpepper Leadership Award. He will attend the University of Texas-Austin, where he plans to study health and society. The Leadership Awards are given in memory of QB and Ben Culpepper, father and son who have been involved in education, as well as the Kiwanis Club for years. QB was a founding member of the Orange Kiwanis and served as superintendent of the Mauriceville school district from 1931-1940. A local business owner for 40 years, Ben Culpepper served the Kiwanis Club of Orange in several capacities. He was a certified Leadership Trainer for Kiwanis and a two-time Texas/Oklahoma Foundation Trustee. Ben was also a proponent of education and a community leader, serving on the City Council for three terms. Andrew Culpepper, grandson and son of QB and Ben and also a member of Kiwanis, was on hand to present the scholarships to Jared and Bailey.

Lions salute service on 80th birthday Dave Rogers

For The Record

The motto of the Lions Club is “We Serve.” It was only fitting then that Monday members noted the 80th anniversary of the Orange Lions Club by celebrating the completion of a service project. “Cody’s Project” was the building of a wheelchair ramp and the construction of a large brick patio and walkway to assist Cody Dunaway of Orange, who has Angelman syndrome, a rare genetic and neurological disorder. Several workdays for about two dozen Lions members and other volunteers went into the

estimated 500 man-hours required to provide the level surface and ramp needed for Cody to get from his front door to the school bus each day. The Lions called on veterans from the Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce and Ambassadors for a Monday evening “ribbon cutting” for the project. “It’s good to have a community that actually gets together and helps people out,” said Tabitha Yust, Cody’s mom. She and Don Dunaway are Cody’s parents. While the Lions provided much elbow grease assistance LIONS CELEBRATE Page 3A

Adult Ballet class keeps women on toes Dave Rogers

For The Record

Thanks to Lamar State-Orange, some local women are learning a shocking truth this summer. Ballet is hard. “It looks easy,” Kimmy Mazzagate said, “but it’s hard.” Mazzagate is one of 18 women enrolled in Adult Ballet, a Leisure Learning class organized by LSCO. Pam Boehme Simon instructs the class for an hour two nights a week in June at the Ingram School of Dance, which she has operated for 31 years out of a second-floor studio at her house near downtown Orange. Simon isn’t looking for magic from her students, many of whom are mothers, some grandmothers, with no ballet experience. “I want them to get up and move,” the dance teacher said. “Most people, if nobody makes them [move], they don’t.” As mothers of teenagers, Rebecca Johns and Mazzagate are no strangers to moving -or the drop-off and pick-up lanes at their kids’ school. Their rounds have included bringing their daughters to Simon’s ballet classes and watching them perform

through the windows of the waiting room. “I’ve watched them stand up straighter. I could see the good things it teaches,” said Johns, whose daughter Elizabeth is 15. “I always wanted to take ballet but I never did,” said Mazzagate, who did take tap

dancing and twirling lessons at the Ingram School. Her daughter, Emily, 14, is a ballet student there. “When I saw this available,” Mazzagate said, “my husband said, ‘You need to take it.’” Beverly Robinson works as a teacher for the West OrangeCove school district and as an

adjunct teacher at LSCO. “This is my first time ever taking a dance class,” she said. “I’m just out here having fun.” Robinson’s granddaughter, 9-year-old Laniya Marks, had her end of year ballet recital last weekend, Robinson said. “She was helping me out with some moves,” Robinson

said. As the women warmed up at the barre with some musclestretching plies, then worked with Simon to learn the five basic positions and the five basic arm positions, it was clear they were all happy to be there. And eager to learn. “You have to be able to concentrate to get your footwork going and then hold your arms the right way,” Mazzagate said. Johns agreed. “It’s easier to stand outside the windows and watch,” she said. “I feel a lot more respect for the girls.” Simon studied at Ingram School of Dance when she was a child, learning from Mary Alice Callahan, who established the business in the community in 1933. After graduating with a college degree in dance, Simon purchased the studio. She and her two-person staff have 75 years of experi-

ence teaching dance and they offer classes in ballet and pointe, tap, jazz/hiphop and acro-gymnastics, among others. Most of her students are school-aged and take classes during the school year that keep her studio booked solid. Summer is a good time for adult classes. “I’ve taught adult ballet for 30 years, but we don’t always have adult ballet, because adults are busy,” Simon said. “This is perfect with Lamar State-Orange, eight classes, then we’re done and they just cost $40.” Simon says she’s thinking about next offering an adult tap or jazz class through the Leisure Learning department. “Or I may just do ballet again,” she said. She knows the ballet score. “Some people think ballet is boring,” she said. “Ballet is anything but boring. “The art is to make it look easy.”

The 2017 Cops N Kids picnic, organized by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office “was fantastic,” Sheriff Keith Merritt told members of the Lions Club Monday night. A total of 2,265 children attended the event at Claiborne West Park. “No way could we pulled off an event like this without the help of many volunteers and a lot of hard work,” the sheriff said.

Lions celebrate 80 years to this project first envisioned by Don Dunaway, a number of donors – including Sabine River Ford, which donated the 3,670 brick 6x6-inch pavers – contributed material and equipment to the effort. They were all recognized both at the ribbon cutting and at the Lions Club meeting that followed at the Brown Center. The focus of the meeting, of course, was recognizing the club for its 80 years of continuous service to Orange County. Rusty Honeycutt, this year’s president, noted that the local anniversary coincided with the 100th birthday of Lions International. He and vice president Chris Gunstream displayed the Orange Lions Club’s framed charter from 1927 and noted that it carries the signature of Melvin Jones, the founder of Lions Club International. Also on that 1927 document were the names of the charter members of the local club. In alphabetic order: Curtis Beaty, Dr. S. Bock, A.F. Burns, Dan Cable Jr., W.L. Cox, William Crouch, Eddie

Frenzel, A.E. Fuller, A.P. Fuller, Meade Graves, L.W. Hustmyre, J.D. Joyner. Also, Dave Journeay, Valton Landrum, F.C.B. Manley, D.W. McCollister, H.S. Peterson, J.B. Quigley, Raymond Sanders, T.D. Sells, Frank R. Smith, L.E. Taggart, R.C. Terry, S.C. Trimble, M.A. West. Howard Peterson was the club’s first president. John Martin, who joined the Orange Lions Club in 1966 – 51 years ago -- was the longest-serving member at Monday’s meeting. Among other topics at the meeting were a thank-you from Orange County Sheriff Keith Merritt, a member, to his fellow Lions for their help in last week’s Cops N Kids Picnic, and a reminder about the Aug. 5 Back To School Orange County event that provides school supplies, haircuts, medical and eye exams, and all sorts of help for children in advance of the start of school. Lion John Backer provided a recap of “Cody’s Project.” He said he first learned of the need when he approached the owners of Sabine River

From Page 1

Ford, Jim Surber and Ross Smith, to ask about the pile of bricks that had been pulled up from the dealership lot during a recent renovation. “I was begging for Ross and Jim to do something with the pavers or give them to me,” Backer said. “Jim said ‘We’ve got an employee who needs them for his son.’” The employee was Cody’s dad, Don Dunaway. “I met with Don and he kind of gave me the idea of what he wanted to do,” Backer recalled. “I asked the Lions if they wanted to take this on and they jumped on it.” An example of the teamwork brought to the job by the Lions Club: On a rainy Saturday in March, 28 people – 17 Lions and 11 others – needed only two hours to sort and stack nearly 4,000 paver bricks onto 14 pallets provided by Akrotex. “We had already given him [Dunaway] the pavers,” Surber recalled. “The Lions Club jumped in and got everything done faster that what he’d

have been able to do. “It was very much a blessing to his son. Now he can make it to the road to catch the special needs bus.” McCoy’s Lumber transported the palletized pavers to the worksite at Cody’s home and provided the film used to secure the pavers. Todd Duhon with Duhon Custom Homes and Kyle Stephens of Orange County Plumbing provided heavy equipment to excavate the site. Bobby Manshack with Manshack and Sons donated loads of gravel and sand to build a solid base for the pavers and Home Depot provided a compactor to firm up the ground. Metal Depot provided panels to cover the wheelchair ramp and Riken Metal Works provided a fire ring. The Lions Club also got a grant from Texasramps.org to help pay for the ramp’s construction. “Even with all the work by the Lions Club, without the people in this community donating their time, effort and resources, we couldn’t have done this,” Backer said.

Council run-off set for Saturday Dave Rogers

For The Record

Orange City Council will have a new District 3 representative by bedtime Saturday. The June 17 run-off between small business owners Terrie Salter and Michael Smith comes five weeks after the two political newcomers outpolled incumbent Essie Bellfield in a three-way race. Since neither Salter, 46, or Smith, 42, earned a majority (50 percent plus one) in the May 6 general election, a runoff is in order. Early voting ended Tuesday. The only polling spot open for Saturday’s election day will be at North Early Learning

Center, 801 Cordrey Ave., from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. A total of 406 ballots were cast in the District 3 race in May, with Salter earning 204 (44 percent) and Smith 134 (29 percent). In that May election, incumbent Larry Spears Jr. won a second term to the Place 6 atlarge council seat. And in late May, Brad Childs, owner of Childs Building Supplies and Ace Hardware, won the District 2 city council seat vacated by Wayne Guidry because of a family move. Childs won the seat as he was the only candidate to file by the deadline.

the second Bassmasters Elite event here. The Bassmasters Open series is a notch below the Elite Series with the top five non-Elite pros in end-of-the-year standings advancing to Bassmasters Elite. However, Elite fishermen are allowed to compete in Open series events and the top two point-getters in the Southern Open standings this year are Elite fishers -- Mike McClelland of Bella Vista, Arkansas, and Josh Bertrand of San Tan Valley, Arizona. Third in the point standings is Drew Sloan of Scurry, Texas, with Roy Hawk of Lake Havasu City, Arizona, and Pete Wenners of Galena, Missouri, next in line. All five are entered this week. Also entered in the pro division are six from Orange – John Dickerson, Jonathan Simon, Trey Smith, Corey Stanley, Carl Svebek and Bryan Trahan – and Vidor’s Branden Bearden and Mike Brown. Gothia said Bassmaster Opens pair pros (also called boaters) by B.A.S.S. with co-anglers (also called non-boaters) for the competition, a bit like a pro-am golf tournament. The non-boaters fish from the back of the boat and they are randomly paired with pros each day. The pros are allowed to weigh in five fish each day, the non-boaters have a limit of three. Each keeper must measure at least 12 inches. The boats are allowed to go no farther than a two-hour’s distance from the boat ramp. The winning pro will earn entry into the 2018 GEICO Bassmaster Classic as well as a Skeeter boat-Yamaha motor package and cash worth approximately $50,000. The top co-angler will win a Triton boat-Mercury motor package. Gates open at 1 p.m. Thursday and 11 a.m. Friday and Saturday. The riverfront closes at 10 p.m. “We started this several years ago,” Gothia said of hosting big fishing tourneys. “It’s grown to be a really good event for Orange County, for Southeast Texas as a whole. “A lot of people ask me, ‘Why do they come fish here?’ It’s a unique challenge to these anglers, and I think we put on a great show. “The biggest thing is it’s just fun to come out to. “In the morning, they do a scheduled blastoff and people come out and watch. It’s before sunup. They do the national anthem and then all these boats take off. We usually average 1,000 to 1,500 at the takeoff each morning. “And then the activities during the day to do before the weigh-ins start at 3 o’clock. Then you get to see what these anglers can do on our waterways. They run far away and they run close. It’s a very fun time for everybody.”

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Gostoe Thibodeaux walked into Tee-Boy’s Bar & Grill and took himself a seat at da bar next to a very attractive woman. He gave her a quick glance den he causally looked at his watch for a moment. Agnes, da pretty woman, axe, “Is your date running late?” “No,” Gostoe replied, “Me, I jus got dis state-of-da-art watch and I was jus testing it.” Agnes, her was intrigued and she say, “A state-of-daart watch?” “Wat’s so special about it, hanh?” Gostoe Thibodeaux explained, “Well, it’s like dis, it uses Alpha waves to talk to me telepatically.” Agnes axe, “Well, wats it telling you now?” “Well, Babe, it says you’re not wearing any panties.” Agnes, she giggled and wearing a big smile, replied, “Well, it must be broken because me, I’m wearing panties.” Thibodeaux smiled, taped his watch four or tree times and said, “Dis damn ting’s an hour fast.” C’EST TOUT A new public poll reflects that Trump’s approval rating has gone down another two percent since last week and is at 34 percent. That means only one third of the country approves of the job he is doing. They are his base, they have their heads in the sand and don’t realize that the Trump plan to cut Medicaid will affect those on disability the most. They have blinders on and refuse to see the real picture. Trump’s plan is to do a Robinhood in reverse, take from the poor and give to the rich. With huge tax breaks, they plan to rob the Affordable Health Care Act of one-trillion dollars and pass it on to the wealthy. All statists prove those who will be hurt the most are Trump’s core supporters, not those who simply voted for him, but those who would stand in front of an oncoming train because Donald Trump told them to. Speaker Paul Ryan says, about Trump talking to FBI Director James Comey behind closed door about putting the fix on to drop the Russia investigation, “Trump is new to this, he didn’t know not to do that.” That’s not true. I said before Trump took over that he didn’t have a clue about running the government. By his own admission he said, “I alone can fix it, because I’ve been on the other side, I always was able to get done what I wanted to do.” He knew what he was doing with Comey. Plenty is yet to come out, like Trump asking the Director if he likes his job, then adding, I hope we can work together. Are we now expected to believe an honorable man like Comey is lying and a guy who lies every single day is telling the truth. Trump’s demagoguery and defamations of good men and women is a darn good reason why Comey wrote about his encounters with Trump right afterwards. He knew Trump had a way of discarding the truth. His cabinet, all adults, go out of their way to praise him like he’s a ruler, not a president. His sick ego demands that he must be praised. Vicepresident Pense is required to praise the master every day. He comes off as a patsy. Why would all those successful adults let themselves be dragged down to such a low ebb. They know Trump will do anything, except two things, release his tax returns or go against Russia’s president Putin. Everything else is no hold barred. This chaos is a long way from being over. What Trump doesn’t get done by September won’t get done this year and mid-term elections start in January. My bet is that Trump doesn’t have any tapes. If he does they will never see the light of day.*****Thanks for your time, mine is up. Please read us cover to cover and patronize our family of advertisers. Take care and God Bless.

Exercise aids senior health

Certainly, by now, most senior citizens know their health and mental abilities are enhanced by exercise. Results of a new study, however, makes a more deﬁnitive prediction – older people who do little exercise may see a mental decline that puts them 10 years behind those who do at least a modest amount. e study reported in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, points out that exercise has been well established as a way to slow the rate of decline in thinking skills that occurs with aging. e study found, however, that seniors who reported light to no exercise experienced a decline equal to 10 more years of aging as compared to people who reported moderate to intense exercise. “e number of people over the age of 65 in the United States is on the rise, meaning the public health burden of thinking and memory problems will likely grow,” said study author Clinton B. Wright, MD, MS, of the University of Miami in Miami, Fla., and member of the American Academy of Neurology. “Our study showed that for older people, getting regular exercise may be protective, helping them keep their cognitive abilities longer.” For the study, researchers looked at data on 876 people enrolled in the Northern Manhattan Study who were asked how long and how often they exercised during the two weeks prior to that date. An average of seven years later, each person was given tests of memory and thinking skills and a brain MRI, and ﬁve years after that they took the memory and thinking tests again. Of the group, 90 percent reported light exercise or no exercise. Light exercise could include activities such as walking and yoga. ey were placed in the low activity group. e remaining 10 percent reported moderate to high intensity exercise, which could include activities such as running, aerobics, or calisthenics. ey were placed in the high activity group.

beekeepers and others interested in beekeeping. Hive ownership is not required.Meetings are the ﬁrst Tuesday of each month 6 pm at LA Cantina Restaurant 2907 MacArthur Drive Orange Texas. Guest speakers are generally scheduled each month with special guest speakers include Cameron Crane Texas Beekeepers Association Area 6 Director in June.

When looking at people who had no signs of memory and thinking problems at the start of the study, researchers found that those reporting low activity levels showed a greater decline over five years compared to those with high activity levels on tests of how fast they could perform simple tasks and how many words they could remember from a list. e difference was equal to that of 10 years of aging. e difference also remained after researchers adjusted for other factors that could affect brain health, such as smoking, alcohol use, high blood pressure and body mass index. “Physical activity is an attrac-

tive option to reduce the burden of cognitive impairment in public health because it is low cost and doesn’t interfere with medications,” said Wright. “Our results suggest that moderate to intense exercise may help older people delay aging of the brain, but more research from randomized clinical trials comparing exercise programs to more sedentary activity is needed to conﬁrm these results.” e study was a collaboration between the University of Miami and Columbia University and was supported by the National Institutes of Health and National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

How could we live without our smartphones, laptops, and other devices that allow us to go online? at’s how most of us keep in touch with friends and family, take pictures, do our homework, do research, find out the latest news, and even shop. But besides the millions of sites to visit and things to do, going online offers lots of ways to waste time — and even get into trouble. And just as in the non-cyber world, some people you encounter online might try to take advantage of you, steal your personal information, or harass or threaten you (called cyberbullying). You’ve probably heard stories about people who got into trouble for something they did online — whether it was sending an inappropriate photograph by text message, joining in on some online bullying on a website or message app, or getting ripped off by someone they met through a website. Because users can easily remain anonymous, some of the more popular websites and messaging apps might attract adults who pretend to be teens or kids. ey’ll sometimes ask visitors for pictures or information about themselves, their families, or where they live — information that shouldn’t be given away. Usually, the people who request personal information like home addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses use this information to fill mailboxes and answering machines with advertisements. In some cases, though, predators may use this information to begin illegal or indecent relationships or to harm a person or family.

before you start venting online. Second rule: when you’re on a website, try to remain as anonymous as possible. at means keeping all private information private. Here are some examples of private information that you should never allow the public to see: your full name any type of photograph (even of your pet!) your current location (some phones have automatic GPS apps built in that may need to be turned oﬀ ) home or school address or the address of any of your family or friends phone numbers Social Security number passwords names of family members credit card numbers Most trustworthy people and companies won’t ask for this type of information online. So if others do, it’s a red ﬂag that they may be up to no good. Always check with a parent if you are unsure, especially when shopping online or signing up for a website or app. ink carefully before you

create an email address or screen name. Web experts recommend that you use a combination of letters and numbers in both — and that you don’t identify whether you’re male or female. When using messaging or chat/video apps, use a nickname that’s different from your screen name. at way, if you ever find yourself in a conversation that makes you uncomfortable, you can exit without having to worry that someone knows your screen name and can track you down via email. Some people who hang out with their friends online set up private chat rooms where only they and the people they invite can enter to chat. Safety experts recommend that people keep online friendships in the virtual world. Meeting online friends face to face carries more risks than other types of friendships because it’s so easy for people to pretend to be something they’re not when you can’t see them or talk in person. It’s safer to Skype or video message with someone first, but

Happy 100th Birthday, DAD

Smart Surfing First rule? Check your mood! Are you feeling upset or angry? en this is not the time to be messaging or posting on a social media site. People don’t always make good decisions or think straight when they’re stressed out or upset. If you have to, call someone or go for a run instead

Online even that can carry some risks. Check with a parent that this is a safe thing for you to be doing. ey may want to meet some of your contacts or sit in on a conversation before they allow you to set up Skype by yourself. If you ever get involved in any messaging or online chats that make you feel uncomfortable or in danger for any reason, exit and tell a parent or other adult right away so they can report the incident. You also can report it to the website of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children — they have a form for reporting this type of

Cyberbullying It’s not just strangers who can make you feel uncomfortable. Cyberbullying refers to cruel or bullying messages sent to you online. ese might be from former friends or other people you know. ey can also be sent anonymously — in other words, on a website where everyone has a screen name, so teens being bullied might not even know who is bullying them.

If you get these bullying messages online, it’s often better to ignore them rather than answer them. Cyberbullies, just like other bullies, might be looking for attention or a reaction. Plus, you never want to provoke bullies. By ignoring them, you can take away their power. You also can try to delete or block bullies so you no longer see their messages or texts. Fortunately, most people never experience cyberbullying. But if you’re getting cyberbullied and ignoring it doesn’t make it stop, getting help from a parent, school counselor, or another

trusted adult might be a good idea. at’s especially true if the cyberbullying contains threats. Other ings to Consider Although email is relatively private, hackers can still access it — or add you to their spam lists. Spam, like ads or harassing or oﬀensive notes, is annoying. But spam blockers can keep your mailbox from getting clogged. Many service providers will help you block out or screen inappropriate emails if your parents agree to set up age-appropriate parental controls. If you don’t recognize the sender of a document or ﬁle that needs to be downloaded, delete it without opening it to avoid getting a virus on your device. Virus protection software is a must for every computer and should be updated regularly. You also can buy software that helps rid your computer of unwanted spyware programs that report what your computer is doing. Some service providers make software available to protect you from these and other online annoyances, such as blockers for those in-your-face pop-up ads.

Bassmaster generating excitement

COLBURN FISHING DICKIE COLBURN FOR THE RECORD

“is is kind of like having NASCAR in your own backyard,” said Kylie Burton while watching her two grandsons finish their third trip around the brightly wrapped truck and bass boat. “ere’s a boat everywhere we go and it is exciting!” Bassmaster pros from all over the country have not only been on the river every day, but towing their rigs between the City Boat Ramp and local hotels as well. Every stop at a restaurant, grocery store or gas station immediately draws a crowd. e Bassmaster Open kicks off ursday morning and the entire area is on high standby. My enthusiasm took a bit of a hit, however, when I exited a restaurant last Friday evening only to discover that a visiting pro had parked behind three vehicles including mine.” I bet I can guess who owns this rig,” I assured the folks waiting to leave. “I’ll go back inside and ask him to move his rig a little.” As it turned out, blocking other folks in wasn’t some inconsiderate act on the part of the pro.”I apologize,” said our visiting angler.” I called in an order thinking I could just run in and pick it up. It has taken them a lot longer than they said it would.” As it turned out, the restaurant should have paid for his meal. No sooner had he moved his truck than he found himself surrounded by well-wishers and autograph seekers. I think everyone in the parking lot had two cell phones. Nothing like a cold supper after a hard day on the water!” e massive field will consist of nearly four hundred pro anglers and coanglers split almost right down the middle. Aside from winning first place, the money will hardly pay expenses for the majority of the field, but that isn’t the number one reason they fish these Opens anyway. e pot at the end of the rainbow is earning an invitation to fish the Bassmaster Classic. Everything about the three day event is both exciting and entertaining. A big crowd gathers to watch the blast off each morning, the 3 p.m. weigh-ins attract massive crowds and there is live entertainment both Friday and Saturday night.

Head football coach Bob Stoops announced recently he was retiring from Oklahoma University.

Stoops leaves OU, Welker joins Texans KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

Head football coaches come and go in both the college ranks and in the National Football League without much fanfare. Most head coaches accept the job with the idea they will be ﬁred at some point in time. However, when they retire after a brilliant career or suddenly decide to leave the school or pro team, it does become big news. Last Wednesday, out of the blue, Bob Stoops announced that he was leaving the University of Oklahoma after 18 years and one national championship and 10 conference titles. He was the most tenured head football coach in college football, fashioning an impressive 190-48 record with the Sooners and an even more dazzling worksheet of 101-9 in home games. e media immediately suspected that he was either forced out by unhappy alumni or was the subject of a scandal or major controversy. But Stoops insisted there was nothing more to his story. “I guess people have a hard time

when someone just makes the decision to handle their life the way they want to—and step away in a proper fashion and hand some thing off that’s so good, but really is just the way it is,” Stoops said Friday on “e Dan Patrick Show”. Even more surprising was the fact his assistant coach-in-waiting, 33-year-old Lincoln Riley was named the new Sooner head coach also on Wednesday afternoon. Stoops left the Sooners in good shape. He was very successful, well-respected, well paid and not in danger of losing his job, according to a column that appeared in Sunday’s edition of e Houston Chronicle. One Division I coach called Stoops’ decision to step down now “brilliant,” the column added. “He’s walking away a legend,” commented the coach who spoke on condition of anonymity. “He’ll be remembered for all the good stuff, all the recruits, all the coaches who have great jobs that started with him. And he’s leaving while everything is getting even harder on the recruiting scene. You have to hand it to him.” Since Stoops first took the head coaching job at Oklahoma, things have changed quite a bit in college football. “ere weren’t 7-on7 tournaments all summer long. Recruits weren’t waiting until national signing day to jump on a

plane to announce their school of choice,” according to the Chronicle. “ere also was no Twitter or Facebook, no non-stop following of every player or potential for signs of problems that inevitably will show up all over the internet during the round-theclock news cycle. “As a head football coach contending for a national title every year, that life is constant scouting, traveling, game-planning, finding new coaches, sitting in recruits living rooms and always focusing the majority of attention on the team and on winning,” the article added. e 56-year-old Stoops stated that he simply wants to live his life away from all that constant turmoil. He’s a self-proclaimed family man with a wife and three children. I believe that Bob Stoops will one day soon show up in the National Football League. And while one coach’s career is ending another is just beginning as Wes Welker—perhaps the best slot receiver in NFL history—will begin his first coaching job as an offensive and special teams coach for the Houston Texans. He will be starting his coaching career working with many of his old friends and former teammates after closing out a brilliant career—

mostly with the New England Patriots—highlighted by three Super Bowls, five Pro Bowls, five seasons with at least 111 receptions and five with at least 1,165 yards according to Sunday’s Houston Chronicle. Head Coach Bill O’Brien and Welker both joined the Patriots in 2007 and grew up in this offense at the same time. Welker also worked under assistant head coach Roman Crennel at New England and played with current Texans’ defensive coordinator Mike Vrabel and special teams coordinator Larry Izzo. “Welker reached out to O’Brien who offered him an entry-level position with the Texans. Welker has been assisting with receivers, working with returners, breaking down tape and sometimes serving as an official during practice,” the article continued. “Welker spent last year out of football, being a husband and a father, running his foundation and enjoying his love for race horses, but he had an itch to enter the coaching profession,” the article concluded. One of his major projects this year is to work closely with second-year slot receiver Braxton Miller. Welker has learned patience being a receiver in the NFL. He knows what receivers are experiencing and is sympathetic to their growing pains. And Welker is learning the coaching profession every day the same way he did as an NFL receiver. “I’m still transitioning, but it’s

been good,” Welker told the Chronicle. “It’s almost like being a rookie all over again, just in a different aspect. “I’m trying to learn from all the other coaches who have been doing it for a long time and pick up a lot of that stuff. Oh, and at the same time, learn how to turn on a computer.” KWICKIES…Congrats are in store to the Port Neches-Groves Indians baseball team for winning the state championship in Class 5A last weekend. e Indians nipped Frisco Wakeland 3-2 in the semifinals at Round Rock and then knocked off defending state champion Grapevine 4-2 in Saturday’s championship game. is marks the fourth area team to capture a state championship— West Orange-Stark in baseball, Silsbee in boys basketball and Beaumont Legacy Christian in girls basketball. e East walloped the West 32-7 in the third annual Christus High School All-Star football game played at e Butch Saturday night in Beaumont. Winning coach Toby Foreman saw former West Orange-Stark Mustangs defensive tackle Te’Ron Brown scoop up a fumbled pitch and race 69 yards for a touchdown to help break the game wide open. And while on the subject of former Mustangs stars, one of the biggest to ever don a West Orange-Stark uniform, Earl omas, is getting things finalized for his annual Free Football Camp on June 23-24 from 8 a.m. until noon both days. Reg-

istered campers are asked to pick up their T-shirts on ursday June 22 at the West OrangeStark High school concessions and gym. e camp features Seattle Seahawks All-Pro omas and several other NFL players. Tapwrit put on a burst in the final quarter mile and beat the Belmont Stakes favorite Irish War Cry by two lengths on a fast track Saturday afternoon. Five of the last nine Belmont winners opted to skip the Preakness and come back fresh for the final leg of racing’s Triple Crown. Tapwrit paid $12.60 to win, $6.50 to place and $5.00 to show. e 2-7 exacta paid $47.30 on a $2 bet. A $5 bet across the board on the winner plus a $2 exacta wager would have given the lucky bettor more than $100 return on his $17 bet. Daniel Berger shot fourunder par 66 on both Saturday and Sunday to win the St. Jude Classic by a stroke over Wee Kim and Charl Schwartzel and collected a winner’s check of $1,152,000. He successfully defended his championship, winning for the second straight year. JUST BETWEEN US…e Houston Astros’ 11-game winning streak came to an abrupt end last week, losing four of the next six games going into Monday’s series against the surging Texas Rangers. But if the Astros can play .500 baseball for the rest of the season, they still would win 92 games which should be enough to win the AL West pennant. But they have a major problem with their pitching staff, with four of the five starters on the disabled list and a bullpen that’s dog-tired. Last weekend’s two losses to the LA Angels was the first series the Astros lost to a division foe this season.

Waders beat heat but still challenge nature OUTDOORS WEEKLY CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE FOR THE RECORD

e big center console finally drifts to a stop in the early morning darkness as the anchor rope comes tight. Solitary figures equipped with the latest gear that would make a NAVY Seal jealous slide over the gunnels into the warm still water and begin casting in all direct i o n s , probing the shallow flat for the fish of t h e i r dreams. ese anglers have a ch i e v e d their goal of being at that special place when the fish begin to feed, the scene is picture perfect and the plan has no flaws. One hefty fish after another crushes the offerings of these anglers, topwater plugs disappear in a foamy wash and that is followed by the sound of line stripping off a reel. A successful wade is a thing of beauty, especially when it’s shared with other anglers who understand what it takes to make it all happen. You don’t just get to a spot and hop out expecting to catch fish, there’s a little more to it than that. Summer wade fishing is an excellent way to not only catch

fish but to catch big fish. Pre dawn excursions are the norm when the temperatures climb high and thunderstorms pop up during the day at a moments notice. e lack of traffic on the water combined with the cooler temperatures makes wading early and late mighty productive. e well equipped wade fisherman can make this time on the water more enjoyable as long as they are prepared. Besides the obvious stuff like rod and reel, tackle, and pliers there are some other essentials that the wader should never be without. Proper footwear is a must, sting ray guards or ray proof boots should always be worn when wading during this time of the year. Having a barb from a ray get lodged in your leg is a very dangerous and painful experience so be sure to wear the guards or boots. Another couple of items you don’t want to be without is some sort of light and a whistle. Both of these items will help keep safe from other boat traffic in the dark as well as make it easier to signal for help if needed. Now probably the last thing any fisherman wants to find in the water swimming around with them is a shark, wade fishermen deal with this much more often than they realize because there are plenty of sharks. If you are going to wade you need to be aware of a couple of things when dealing with

Colburn It was a classic example of the old “at’s bad…no that’s good” description of an event. I know of no other angler in this area more actively involved and concerned with the CCA than Jim Meadows. erefore, it was only right that he was selected to head up the recent live release of five tagged redfish in Sabine Lake. I personally thought it was very fitting that a local television station decided to film and interview Meadows as he prepared to leave the launch. It was all going as planned until the reporter was not satisfied with simply showing the tagged fish in the live well. “Can you hold up one of those fish,” he asked Meadows. With that, he dipped one out with a small net only to have it flounce out and escape over the back deck. e live release was indeed successful, but not exactly as planned. e reporter immediately stated something to the effect of “I think I know a good place to fish.” A week or so later, Ryan Pyburn of Beaumont and his four year old son were fishing that area when he caught the fumbled fish. Pyburn was wise enough to not only fish that particular area but sign up for the S.

sharks. When keeping fish that you have caught be sure to put them on a longer stringer to get them farther away from your body. Dragging dead or bleeding fish around behind you is just an advertisement for sharks and believe me they will find your fish. Talk with anyone who wades and more than likely they have a story about shark stealing fish off of a stringer or taking the whole thing completely. ere are alternatives to stringers; the Do-Net is a Styrofoam float with a net in the middle designed for carrying fish while wading. Other anglers like those on the middle coast have resorted to making floating 5 gallon buckets using foam pool toys to keep the sharks away. Whatever approach you choose be sure to pay close attention and use common sense. Letting a shark take you stringer or a fish off a lure is much cheaper than trying to fight it. Well now that you are equipped to do battle you can head out on the water with a better understanding of what it takes to make a safe and successful wade. Use your time in the water to not only fish but to study the bottom in the areas you fish because that will pay dividends in the future. By walking these areas you can learn a great deal about the structure and what actually makes an area hold fish. Get in the water and get with the program.

R. tournament as well. at one fish will earn him a new boat, motor and pickup truck! “I fish off this bulkhead almost every afternoon after work,” said Paul Sanchez “I went and signed up for S. T. A. R. and I was never so excited about every cast until that fish was caught. It makes every trip a whole lot more fun when you think you really have a chance to win a great prize with every cast.” “Mr. Meadows turned loose four more somewhere in the lake, added Sanchez, “so I still

have a chance. My kids and I catch a lot of gafftop, flounder and sheepshead also and they could luck out and win a lot of college money.” As a rule, you have to be both lucky and on top of your game with artificials or live croaker to catch a winning trout, but a little bit of live bait and a whole lot of luck is all that is necessary to catch any one of the other designated species. I watched the entire happening on television and knowing Jim Meadows as well as I do, I am still not convinced that the fumble was an accident!

TPWD awards $600K to Ducks Unlimited During remarks at Ducks Unlimited’s 80th National Convention, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Executive Director Carter Smith announced the department’s decision to award Ducks Unlimited $600,000 for conservation projects on waterfowl breeding grounds in Prairie Canada. This commitment brings Texas’ cumulative contribution for habitat conservation on Canadian breeding grounds important to Texas’ waterfowl to more than $4 million. “Waterfowl are a shared resource. As a result, waterfowl habitat conservation has to take place not only here on Texas’ continentally significant wintering grounds, but also on

the breeding grounds that produce our waterfowl,” Smith said. “TPWD is proud to be a strong DU partner across North America. Ducks Unlimited’s match and leveraging ability give our contributions four times the impact we could have alone. That’s a return on investment we can all be proud of.” Recognizing the migratory nature of waterfowl, state wildlife agencies have been contributing to habitat conservation in Canada since 1965. More than 40 states participated this year, and funding comes primarily through hunting license sales. In Texas, all funding comes from the state Migratory Game Bird Stamp fund. This fund is solely sup-

ported by the sale of Migratory Game Bird Stamps, required of all migratory bird hunters in Texas. These funds may be used to support waterfowl habitat conservation in Canada, and Texas has been doing so since 1985. “The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is one of our greatest partners in conservation in Texas and across the continent. They continue making wise investments in waterfowl habitat important to the birds that wing their way to the Lone Star State each year,” said DU Southern Region Director Jerry Holden. “Banding data shows us a large portion of the ducks harvested in Texas come from Saskatchewan and Alberta, so

investing the state’s dollars in this region clearly provides the greatest return for Texas waterfowl hunters.” Breeding ground habitat work is critical for the health of continental populations of waterfowl, and Texas’ waterfowl hunters understand that. The nearly 50,000 Texas DU members are appreciative of TPWD’s continued contributions to the program. “The importance of state contributions to Canadian habitat conservation and restoration projects cannot be overstated,” said DU Canada’s Director of International Partnerships Pat Kehoe. “Individual state contributions are combined with other state contributions, matched dollar for dollar by DU Inc., used as match for North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA) grants and then leveraged further by DU Canada.” Ducks Unlimited’s programs in the U.S. and Canada are science-based and consistent with the North American Wa-

Ducks Unlimited National Convention.

Prairie conservation programs on both sides of the border are structured to protect native, highly productive habitat while also improving waterfowl production in working agricultural landscapes.

For first ‘World Day of the Poor’ Francis encourages personal encounter Hannah Brockhaus Catholic News Agency

Vatican City- In his message for the first World Day of the Poor, Pope Francis said that the suffering and broken bodies of the poor are where we encounter the body of Christ – and to know Christ we must know the poor. “If we truly wish to encounter Christ, we have to touch his body in the suffering bodies of the poor, as a response to the sacramental communion bestowed in the Eucharist,” he said in his message, released June 13. “The Body of Christ, broken in the sacred liturgy, can be seen, through charity and sharing, in the faces and persons of the most vulnerable of our brothers and sisters.” “We may think of the poor simply as the beneficiaries of our occasional volunteer work, or of impromptu acts of generosity that appease our conscience,” he continued. And these acts may be good for putting other’s needs more clearly before us, but what they should ultimately do is “lead to a true encounter with the poor and a sharing that becomes a way of life.” On our paths to becoming true disciples of Christ, we find confirmation of our evangelical authenticity in the charity and sharing stemming from a real encounter, he said. “This way of life gives rise to joy and peace of soul, because we touch with our own hands the flesh of Christ.” Pope Francis established the World Day of the Poor in his apostolic letter, “Misericordia et misera,” presented Nov. 20, 2016 at the end of the Church’s Jubilee Year of Mercy. The theme for the World Day of the Poor, which will be held Nov. 19, includes a special logo depicting an open door, and one person welcoming another inside, is “Let us love, not with words but with deeds.” Words alone aren’t enough, the Pope pointed out in his message, illustrating the

point with the words of St. James in his epistle. St. James writes, “If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and in lack of daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, be warmed and filled,’ without giving them the things needed for the body; what does it profit? So faith by itself, if it has not works, is dead.” Quoting St. John Chrysostom, as well, Francis continued, “If you want to honor the body of Christ, do not scorn it when it is naked; do not honor the Eucharistic Christ with silk vestments, and then, leaving the church, neglect the other Christ suffering from cold and nakedness.” “We are called, then, to draw near to the poor, to encounter them, to meet their gaze, to embrace them and to let them feel the warmth of love that breaks through their solitude.” The Pope said he wanted to add this day to the already established ‘world days,’ because it adds an “exquisitely evangelical fullness, that is, Jesus’ preferential love for the poor.” This day is meant to encourage all believers, regardless of religious affiliation, to react against a culture of discard and waste, and instead

embrace a culture of encounter, which shares with the poor through “concrete signs of solidarity and fraternity.” “God created the heavens and the earth for all; yet sadly some have erected barriers, walls and fences, betraying the original gift meant for all humanity, with none excluded,” he lamented. But though as Christians we have often failed in our duty to the poor, throughout history, the Holy Spirit has raised up holy men and women who have truly lived this out, setting an example for us all. St. Francis, for example, is an excellent witness of how to serve the poor authentically, he explained. It was because the saint kept his eyes fixed firmly on Christ first that he was able to see Christ also in the poor and vulnerable, he said. “If we want to help change history and promote real development, we need to hear the cry of the poor and commit ourselves to ending their marginalization,” he said. “At the same time, I ask the poor in our cities and our communities not to lose the sense of evangelical poverty that is part of their daily life.” The poor are not just a chance to serve Christ, how-

ever, he said. They also offer us an opportunity to step outside of our places of comfort and certainty and acknowledge the counter-cultural view that poverty has a value even in itself. “Let us never forget that, for Christ’s disciples, poverty is above all a call to follow Jesus in his own poverty.” Poverty means having a humble heart and accepting our limitations and sinfulness. More than anything, poverty, like the poverty of spirit Christ speaks of in the beatitudes, is an “interior attitude” that doesn’t get caught up in thinking happiness is found in material goods and worldly success. And prayer should be at the heart of all our concrete actions, he said. The Our Father is “the prayer of the poor,” because in it we ask God for our “daily bread,” expressing our entrustment to God for our most basic needs. “When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, he answered in the words with which the poor speak to our one Father, in whom all acknowledge themselves as brothers and sisters. The Our Father is a prayer said in the plural: the bread for which we ask is ‘ours,’ and that entails sharing, participation and joint responsibility,” Francis said. The Pope asked that bishops, priests, deacons, and consecrated persons, as well as associations, movements and volunteers around the world help to make this day of the poor “a tradition that concretely contributes to evangelization in today’s world.” “This new World Day, therefore, should become a powerful appeal to our consciences as believers, allowing us to grow in the conviction that sharing with the poor enables us to understand the deepest truth of the Gospel.” “The poor are not a problem,” he concluded, “they are a resource from which to draw as we strive to accept and practice in our lives the essence of the Gospel.”
