Pinehurst’s city council meeting turned into a lovefest Tuesday night as city workers and citizens hugged and celebrated their small community’s victory over Hurricane Harvey. The 20-member volunteer fire department, with plenty of help from the city’s other 26 employees and an outfit called the Cajun Navy, rescued an estimated 1,000 people from high water the night of Aug. 29-30. They used everything from kayaks to flat bottom boats to airboats to the city’s grapple truck to swoop people – many of them elderly --

City reacts to storm, OK’s budget Dave Rogers

For The Record

The City of Orange passed a proposed budget of $38 million for 2017-18 at its city council meeting Tuesday morning. But the focus of the first city meeting held after Tropical Storm Harvey’s record flooding was on reacting to the storm. City manager Shawn Oubre said he expects D&J Contractors to begin removing debris from city residences in “five to seven days after we give the OK.” Council voted that OK Tuesday. Councilman Bill Mello was the first to compliment city workers for their work during and since the storm passed Aug. 30 and left record flooding in its wake. “The city of Orange never did quit working throughout the storm,” Mello said. “We didn’t lose water or gas.” Ninety-five of the city’s

195 employees had water in their homes, councilman Brad Childs said. “But they still kept working, kept the city

running.” He also noted, “Our city water stayed at 100 percent, stayed drinkable, while the city of Beaumont [water] went down, which included closing the hospitals there.” Mayor Jimmy Sims counseled patience for the citizens. “It’s going to be a long process,” he said of the storm recovery. “We’ll work together as a city and get it fixed.” The final hurdle for the city regarding debris removal was approving a company to monitor D&J’s work, as required by FEMA. Council voted Tuesday to hire GP Strategies Corporation and Thompson Consulting Services to provide that monitoring. Only residential debris hauling will be reimbursed by FEMA, Oubre said. “This is not for businesses, non-profits, apartments,” he said. “We don’t get reimbursed for picking up things that are not in compliance, and we’re not going to do it.” The city manager said residents must sort and properly position debris for the contractor to pick up with a grappling claw operating from the curb. They are to be in four distinct piles, with no trash bags allowed unless they are see-through. The piles are for C&D Waste (construction and demolition materials); White Goods (refrigerators, stoves, washers, freezers, etc.); Green Waste (tree limbs, etc.); and Hazardous Waste. The vote on the budget was 6-0 to fund the city beginning Oct. 1, based on a proposed tax rate of 71.774 cents per $100 value. Council member Larry Spears, Jr., was absent Tuesday. The tax rate will be finalORANGE Page 7A

Household debris collection in Orange County could begin this week.

Hurricane Harvey debris removal trucks should be moving about Orange County Wednesday. Just don’t ask where. Buddy Lofton, project manager for Orange County’s FEMA-approved debris removal contractor AshBritt, told commissioners’ court Tuesday he’s spent the last few days surveying residential debris piles in unincorporated areas of the county, even doing aerial surveys. “We’re trying to attack the worst-hit places first,”

he said, while admitting he hadn’t completed his surveying. Tuesday, there were parts of the county where the roads were still under water. But Lofton said he had two trucks in the county Tuesday and at least eight more are on their way. Each truck can hold 125 cubic yards of trash. Hurricane Harvey, reduced to a tropical storm by the time it showered the county with more than 50 inches of rain, flooded 65 to 70 percent of the 30,000odd residences in Orange County, County Judge Ste-

phen Brint Carlton said Tuesday. That’s two to three times more homes than suffered water damage in Hurricane Ike, in 2007. AshBritt was the county’s debris removal contractor for Ike, too. Lofton admitted Tuesday he needed six months to complete the cleanup job after Ike. “We’re going to ramp up to full speed in the next couple of days,” he promised. Besides the size of the affected area this time around, a big difference between the debris removal from Ike to Harvey is where

FEMA says the county’s contractor can pick up. First, FEMA will not reimburse for debris removal at businesses, non-profits such as churches, and apartments. Secondly, FEMA initially told Carlton that incorporated cities in the county – Orange, West Orange, Pinehurst, Bridge City and Vidor – would not be allowed to “piggyback” on the county’s contract as in the past. That would cause the cities a big financial hit. After Hurricane Ike, the DEBRIS HAULER Page 7A

Little Cypress-Mauriceville’s school district announced Tuesday that Tropical Storm Harvey flooding damage will force students to double up this fall. Only LCM High School and Little Cypress Intermediate did not incur extensive damages, so students will begin their school year Wednesday, Sept. 20, attending school on half-day schedules at LCMHS, LCI and North Orange Baptist Church. LCM’s announcement comes on the heels of Monday’s announcement that Orangefield plans to have it students open school Monday, Sept. 25.

“I DONUT Need A Reason To Thank A Cop”

Bridge City Cardinal Classic Reunion planned for Oct. 21 In respect for all of our alumni members that have been directly and indirectly affected by Hurricane Harvey, the Classic Cardinal Reunion that was planned for Saturday, October 21st has been cancelled. Unfortunately, many people in our area have been displaced, are dealing with flooded homes, and are overwhelmed with hardships caused by the storm. Understandably, a reunion is not top priority to those facing months of rebuilding their lives, and we understand. Hopefully, we’ll be able to meet next year and celebrate the recovery! Homecoming 2017 is still scheduled for Friday, October 20th at 7:00 p.m. Our Cardinals will face Little CypressMauriceville. Please come enjoy the game if you are able to attend. Our Cardinal family extends heartfelt sympathy to the families of the following deceased alumni: C.R. Fleming (‘57), Don Stanton (‘64), Benjamin Davis (‘63), Gerald Breaux (‘63), Robert Theriot (‘63), and Mike Hebert (‘65). Thank you for your continued support. It is our responsibility to keep the history and traditions of BCHS alive Once a Cardinal...Always a Cardinal!

Tyler Carach, 9, has become a celebrity donating and delivering donuts to police officers in 17 states. On Friday the young founder of “I DONUT Need A Reason To Thank A Cop” arrived in Bridge City with supplies for disaster relief workers.

In August last year, Tyler, 9, and his mother, Sheena Carach, were getting donuts and he saw four police officers. He asked his mother if he could use his allowance to buy them donuts. His mother agreed and the boy then decided he wanted to say ‘thank you” to police officers and buy donuts for cops across the country.

boy’s desire to be grateful to police officers was “I DONUT Need A Reason To Thank A Cop.” In just one year they delivered 28,000 donuts to police officers in 17 states. Through this effort, his mother says Tyler hopes to inspire other young people and adults to do the same. “No one hardly hears about the good stories of law enforcement and they want to change that image,” Sheena said.

“When you see a grown man or woman cry because of a 9-year-old child, it’s the most moving thing ever.” In the past year Tyler has been on the Steve Harvey show, Live with Kelly, and other national news programs. Before Hurricane Harvey, Tyler started taking up collections throughout his community of Bratt, FL. They decided to deliver them to a smaller town in Texas that was impacted by the

Bridge City

Independent School District

#YOUMATTER@BCISD Cardinal Community: Welcome to the 2017-2018 School Year! The start of the school year is an exciting time for our students, families as well as staff. As we embark on yet another new school year, I would like to let you know that during my first year there were many challenges, as well as accomplishments. I will continue to work for the best interests of our students, your children, to ensure that our policies are followed appropriately, curriculum management and implementation are current and challenging, co-curricular offerings are protected, solid fiscal management is the first rule of the day, and outstanding learning and working conditions exist for our students and staff so that we can provide an awesome educational experience to all who attend our schools. We will continue to provide facility enhancements that positively impact learning for our students as well as providing a safe environment for our community to enjoy. This will be the first year for our Bridge City Intermediate students to enjoy the 10 classroom building expansion. This project included technology enhancements and state of the art furniture to promote learning. Our students will definitely benefit from the sound decision making by our board of trustees to provide this facility. The high school and middle school band students will enjoy their first complete year in the newly renovated band hall that includes a Virtual Acoustical Environmental (VAC) recording program. The design of this facility will support the successful path our band program has taken in the past few years. Bridge City High School is one of only 4 facilities in the entire nation that has this state of the art sound system! Go Big Red! Technology is a key focus of our school district. One of our technology goals is to improve student access for devices throughout the day in the classroom. Last year we added 417 chromebooks and 13 charging carts to the instructional setting within our school district. This year we plan on adding more technology to allow more access for the almost 3000 students enrolled in our schools. BCISD will continue to explore new courses at each campus. For the 2017-2018 school year we are pleased to expand the fine arts program at our intermediate school through adding additional art classes. At the middle school you will hear of programs such as drones, robotics, and articulated career technical courses at the introductory level. For the second year we were able to increase the career technical course offerings at our high school. Our school district will continue to focus on additional course offerings that will increase student achievement. As we enter into the upcoming school year together, please remember that a district’s schools are a wonderful testament to the commitment that a community makes on behalf of its young people. I know that I can count on you to work with the school committee and myself to continue that testament in the coming school year. We look forward to the new school year with great anticipation and excitement, and I extend best wishes to all for a wonderful school year full of challenge, opportunity, and growth!

Sincerely, Todd Lintzen, Superintendent

Board Goals 2017-2018 · Board Goal 1: Students BCISD will ensure college and career readiness by emphasizing rigorous classroom instruction for college-bound students and relevant career and technical education opportunities. Our students will be prepared for college, technical training, or immediate entry into the workforce, whichever they choose.

· Board Goal 2: Students BCISD students will be provided leadership opportunities to increase civic and community awareness and responsibilities.

· Board Goal 3: Leadership BCISD will maximize district efforts to recruit, re tain, develop, evaluate and compensate top quality candidates for all district positions.

· Board Goal 4: Operations BCISD will effectively manage all financial resources to ensure that budgets are student centered and reflect support for achievement of stated goals. The district will leverage district resources to continuously improve staff benefits.

· Board Goal 5: Facilities A message from Carrie Martin: Bridge City ISD has great plans for increasing student access to technology. Technology increases student engagement in a well-designed lesson. This is the goal of the Technology Focus Committee. This committee is comprised of teachers taking on a leadership role at their campus. These teachers are dedicated to increasing teacher training and use of technology in all classrooms. The focus is to train teachers to design lessons that include technology and increase higher level thinking skills. The group is currently developing training sessions that teachers will be required to attend before receiving a cart of Chromebooks or iPads. The district plans to add 164 iPads and over 800 Chromebooks for student use. The increase in devices also requires a robust network. The district bandwidth is now at 1 Gbps across the district to allow the students to work on the devices without delays. A wireless upgrade is planned for Bridge City Elementary. Each classroom will be outfitted with a new wireless access point to allow student iPads to connect for Internet service and online educational programs. Bridge City Intermediate teachers are excited about the beautiful new wing and the latest interactive whiteboard technology. The BoxLight interactive panel allows ten points of touch at the same time. The display is clear and sharp because it has an HDMI connection to the teacher computer. The third grade teachers participated in a three-hour training in which they discovered that the panel comes with built in software with an interactive gallery, an Android on board computer, and the ability to work with current Smart Notebook lessons that they have already created. The third grade students will be the first to experience the newest technology in whiteboards. BCISD Computer technicians built 73 teacher desktop computers in the spring and summer. The advantage to building the computers is that high-quality handpicked parts can be included for almost half the cost of a factory made computer. Teachers at Bridge City High School and Bridge City Intermediate School received computers with 8 GB of RAM along with a Samsung solid-state hard drive. The entire process of sorting parts, building, imaging, and copying a user’s settings and profile takes approximately three hours per machine. The project was well worth the effort as it saved the district $32,721.00.

BCISD will continue to address and improve the educational facilities throughout the district.

The goals adopted by our board guide our long range and annual planning. Last spring a committee was formed to develop the BCISD Academic Guidelines and Procedures (AGP). This committee of teachers and administrators worked over the summer to ensure campus policies, practices, and expectations were communicated to students, parents and staff. The AGP is intended to ensure vertical alignment and consistent implementation in Bridge City ISD schools. This document will be reviewed twice a year and revised as needed. On August 3rd and 4th BCISD welcomed several new teachers to our team. They worked hard and learned a great deal about the “Cardinal Way”. These new to BCISD teachers joined our returning staff in campus based professional development and meetings to better prepare them to serve the students who will fill their classrooms. The English and History teachers at both BCMS and BCHS spent a few hours learning about a new resource that will help them help students become better writers. Turnitin –Feedback Studio is an online resource that will allow teachers and students to use technology to improve writing through timely feedback. According to Prensky (2007), “One of the most powerful keys to unlocking student motivation and perseverance is feedback.” We are excited to announce that for the first time BCISD will offer teachers the opportunity to apply for Innovative Teaching Mini Grants. Many time teachers have wonderful ideas and just need the funds to bring them to life. The purpose of these grants is to encourage teachers to take education to the next level. These funds will be used to provide innovative learning environments, resources and opportunities for our students. BCISD once again has Met Standard as part of the 2016-2017 state accountability. This one measure does not tell us all we need to know about our students and their abilities. We know by watching our student’s problem solve and perform that they will do more than Meet Standards. They will excel! Welcome Back Cardinals- we are looking forward to a wonderful year!

The students participate in basketball, track, bowling, and bocce just to name a few of the events. Unified Champion Schools for Special Olympics Texas bring together athletes with and without disabilities to work, train, and compete as a team. Students involved not only participate in sporting activities but community service projects. All students working together regardless of their ability or disability builds relationships and acceptance for all students.

Debris haulers set

Pinehurst

city up-fronted all of the cost for debris removal and FEMA, eventually, reimbursed 75 percent of that. This year, the reimbursement from FEMA is set to be 90 percent, but if the county can’t pick up for the cities, then the cities must pay their 10 percent. Carlton estimated that the cost of debris removal for the entire county would be at least $15 million.

The City of Orange has signed a deal with its own contractor, who should begin picking up the city debris in a few days. But the city of West Orange delayed signing up a debris contractor of its own at Monday night’s meeting after hearing FEMA was reconsidering letting the cities “piggyback” with the county. Carlton and all area city’s mayors met with Texas Gov.

Orange budget ized Sept. 26. Much of the meeting focused on cleanup from Tropical Storm Harvey. Council voted to allow recreational vehicles and travel trailers on residential property for a year while damaged property is being repaired.

Greg Abbott Saturday in Beaumont and apprised him of the situation. Abbott arranged a Monday meeting for Carlton with FEMA management. “They’re still reviewing our overall contract to make sure that will allow that relationship between the county and the cities,” the judge said. He hoped to hear back any day as to whether he could

say,” Stringer said. A veteran of three hurricanes, Stringer said that members of the Pinehurst VFD and members of the Louisiana-based airboat rescue group called the Cajun Navy answered calls at 300 homes that first night. “We have a bunch of 90-something people in Pinehurst,” she said. “Probably 90 percent of the population in Pinehurst is elderly people. They need our help. “We got everybody out.” Branham said all other fire departments in the area shut down at midnight the night the water rose. “We kept going until 2:15 when the high winds went through,” he said. “All of our groups, we worked so good together in this tragedy. It’s an honor to be part of this community.” Pinehurst’s city council OK’d its 2017-18 budget of $3.4 million and adopted a tax rate of 69.676 cents per $100 value, a slight drop from last year. And it ended its night in a celebration. “I always said when things are bad out there, these people are the best,” Hood said. Mayor Pete Runnels, a Pinehurst resident for 40 years, choked up when it was his time to talk. “Honest to God, I am so proud to be a part of Pinehurst,” he said. “It’s so special. “I got three feet of water in my house and my children want me to sell it and move. I don’t want to.”

The city is asking that RV and trailer owners obtain voluntary permits to tie into the water and sewer system. Those permits are free during that year. Additionally, council voted to waive for 90 days the fees for building permits for rebuilding necessitated by the storm.

As a part of its 2017-18 budget, the council also approved motions accepting health, dental, vision and life insurance policies for its 195 employees. The only change from last year was for medical insurance, purchased from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas,

Schools regroup after storm were to open Aug. 28, before Harvey, when it was a Category 4 hurricane taking aim at Texas, posed a threat.

enlarge AshBritt’s theater of operation. Lofton admitted that having to get his trash haulers aware of city boundaries was going to make the job harder than during Ike, when he picked up for the entire county. And, as Orange city manager Shawn Oubre said at his city council meeting, the key will be getting residents to follow FEMA’s rules. Those include sorting their trash into four separate piles, according to type of debris, no farther than 10 feet from the street. Many people have pointed out that the piles of waterlogged carpet and sheetrock, ruined furniture and appliances at their homes wouldn’t fit in such a small pile. Oubre said the city had contracted for its hauler, D&J Contractors, to make two rounds of pickups. FEMA has again approved the county’s landfill to be its debris management site, or county collection spot. From the landfill near the Expo Center on FM 1442, trucks will ultimately take it to a disposal site in Newton County, Carlton said. The final step is a permit from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. “We’ve got the permit,” Carlton said, “and we’re ready to go.”

West Orange OKs budget, tax rate hike The City of West Orange OK’d a $3.6 million budget for 2017-18 and 2-1/2 cent tax rate increase to help pay for it at Monday’s City Council meeting. “It’s a slight increase that won’t bring us much more money,” Mayor Roy McDonald said. The previous tax rate was 42.5 cents per $100. The new tax rate, unanimously approved by council, is 45 cents per $100. “We hate to do that, but insurance went up so high,” McDonald said. “We hate to burden our employees more. It’s a balancing act.” West Orange has 3,400 citizens, according to the 2010 census, and about 27 employees, McDonald said.

Harvey puts fishing fun on hiatus COLBURN FISHING DICKIE COLBURN FOR THE RECORD

Texting is a frustrating exercise for me at best and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do Facebook at all, but I got an up close look at the power of both over the past week or so. We evacuated after partially winning the battle with the rapidly rising water and my daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family joined the exodus with the knowledge that ďŹ ve feet of water was already ďŹ&#x201A;owing through their house. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ey returned to sadly conďŹ rm that they had indeed lost everything but their cars. As soon as the water was shallow enough, we made that heartbreaking wade through a lifetime of memories washed away in a heartbeat. It seems like every soggy item is suddenly priceless and water logged baby pictures leave you short of breath. It was a devastating assessment of far more than wet sheetrock and water soaked insulation. We were ďŹ nally able to half-heartedly pick away at a few things through the tears before giving it up and returning home. It is diďŹ&#x192;cult to formulate a plan as to where to even start when the piano has ďŹ&#x201A;oated into another room and freezers are upside down and no longer in the kitchen. Terri, however, knew exactly where her recovery eďŹ&#x20AC;ort would start. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a lot of friends on Facebook,â&#x20AC;? she said with conviction, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I am going to let them know I have a little problem. If they can help I know they will be there!â&#x20AC;? By the time I could get to their house the following morning, cars were lined up on both sides of 1442 and a growing army of friends was already hard at work. I was truly amazed, but Terri was pleasantly surprised as well. Relatives, friends of the kids, co-workers, church members and folks that she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know were attacking even the worst of jobs. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e men handled the heavy work while the ladies pulled sheetrock and loaded wheelbarrows. It was incredible! I had no idea high school girls

The return of J.J. Watt to the Houston Texans after injury hobbled his efforts last season was one of the few highlights of the Texansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season-opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

NFL opening week not great for some KAZâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S KORNER JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

Now that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;realâ&#x20AC;? National Football League season is under way, I kind of felt sorry for the seasonticket holders who had to endure a month of pre-season exhibition games which was part of the deal. Many of the players they were forced to watch are back at the car wash or slinging hash somewhere after their bubble of becoming an NFL player burst. But the 2017 season started oďŹ&#x20AC; with a huge surprise as the world champion New England Patriots looked like butter under a hot knife as the Kansas City Chiefs beat them in every phase of the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;except the losing quarterback whining about some of the game oďŹ&#x192;cialsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; callsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;42-27 in a special î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ursday night lidlifter. I think I may have learned two things from that gameâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;either the Patriots are a mere skeleton of previous years OR that Kansas City is a bona ďŹ de Super Bowl team.

î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e ďŹ rst two games I watched Sunday were VERY disappointing as the Houston Texans versus the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars that was supposed to make Houstonians feel normal for three hours at NRG Stadium didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, ending with a humiliating 29-7 loss. In fact Sunday NRG must have meant Not Really Good because the Texans stunk up the stadium. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e oďŹ&#x20AC;ensive lineâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with their stalwart Duane Brown still holding out to have his contract re-negotiatedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;surrendered 10 sacks to the usually-mediocre Jaguarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e return of J.J. Watt to the Texans defense failed to show any signs of being the top-rated defense in the NFL last season. Watt suďŹ&#x20AC;ered a dislocated ďŹ nger which limited his performance to one tackle and one quarterback hit. In the meantime, when the game was still close, the defense failed to come up with stops when it had to. And Head Coach Bill Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst game of calling the oďŹ&#x20AC;ensive plays should be his last because his oďŹ&#x20AC;enseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;especially starting quarterback Tom Savageâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;was savagely inept. Houston gained a mere 24 yards total oďŹ&#x20AC;ense in the ďŹ rst half with Savage in command. When Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien ďŹ nally heeded the chants from most of the 71,710 fans wanting rookie Deshaun

Watson to replace Savage, the former Clemson All-American responded on his ďŹ rst series by gaining more than twice the ďŹ rst-half total and then marched the team downďŹ eld for a touchdownâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;sadly the only score of the game for the Texans while the Jags rolled up 27 points. Another team that showed a weak oďŹ&#x20AC;ense was the Seattle Seahawks, who were trying to beat the Green Bay Packers for the ďŹ rst time at Lambeau Field. Again it was quarterback Russell Wilson who got sacked and stripped from the ball in the shadow of his own goal which made a big diďŹ&#x20AC;erence in the Seahawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 17-9 loss to the Packers. Seattle was horrible in the red zone, managing only three ďŹ eld goals and zero touchdowns. But whenever a defense holds quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a mere 17 points, the team usually beats Green Bay. And Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense was led by Orangeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Earl î&#x20AC;&#x201C;omas who was all over the ďŹ eld making his usual hard tackles as if he never broke his leg last season. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e free safety led the team with 11 tackles, four of them solo. My only favorite team that was victorious was the Dallas Cowboys, who

Storm recovery impacts teal season along the Texas coast e 16-day early teal hunting season opens statewide Saturday with guarded optimism tempered by the reality that many waterfowlers along the Texas coast are focusing on storm recovery. Hunting along the Texas coast typically accounts for about half the teal bagged during the early September season and, unfortunately, conditions at many prime areas are inaccessible due to storm debris. Several wildlife management areas and state parks have canceled scheduled hunts, while others are delaying access until conditions improve. National wildlife refuges along the coast and in East Texas have also been impacted and are currently closed. “I really wish I knew the full impacts of the storm on the upcoming teal season,” said Kevin Kraai, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Water-

fowl Program Leader. “The coast, our most important teal hunting area, has been greatly impacted. Saltwater intrusion in the marsh and freshwater from flooding will likely cover and disperse a lot of the preferred foods and potentially make water depths too high for teal. The edge of the flooding will be where the teal will be. I just suspect most people along the coast will have their minds on other things this September and participation will be low.” e 16-day statewide early teal and Eastern Zone Canada goose season will run Saturday, Sept. 9 through Sunday, Sept. 23. e daily bag on teal remains six, with a possession limit of 18. Bag limit for Canada geese will be three and a possession limit of six in the Eastern Zone only. e good news for those able to go aﬁeld, blue-winged teal

population estimates this fall are up 18 percent over last year at 7.9 million birds. at’s a 57 percent increase above the long-term average. And, according to Kraai, the primary factors that trigger duck migration have aligned heading into the season. “Migration timing is looking very good,” he said. “Blue-wings more than any other duck are driven by day length and early September cool fronts on full moons really move them the best. is week we are experiencing a full moon and a stronger than normal cool front. is should really move teal down to Texas just prior to the opener.” For hunters along the interior of Texas, prospects for the early teal season are looking quite good habitat wise and good shooting is expected to occur on the upper ends of reservoirs, playas, and large stock ponds.

Fishing regulation changes set for new season

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission adopted a suite of changes for the 2017-2018 saltwater and freshwater fishing season this year. All new regulations take effect Friday, Sept. 1, and can be found in the Outdoor Annual. For saltwater fishing, Texas modified harvest regulations for certain offshore species to be in line with federal rules to reduce confusion among anglers. The changes to saltwater fishing regulations include: Increasing the minimum size limit to 99 inches for scalloped, smooth and great hammerhead sharks;

Establishing a 24-inch minimum size limit and a 4 fish per day bag limit for black grouper; Establishing a bag limit of catch and release only for Nassau grouper and; Increasing the minimum size limit to 24 inches for gag grouper. For freshwater fishing, changes include: Modifying largemouth and smallmouth bass regulations to catch-and-release only on the 38-mile stretch of the Devils River from Baker’s Crossing to Big Satan Creek along the downstream end of the Dan A. Hughes Unit of the Devils

River State Natural Area; Establishing a catch-and-release-only rule for largemouth bass and sunfish in Bedford Boys Ranch Lake (Tarrant County) and; Adding Alabama bass to the list of game fishes, and updating bass regulations for Alan Henry Reservoir in Garza County to reflect this change. Earlier this year in April, a rule was changed to require a $60 permit for the collection of gizzard and threadfin shad from public water for use as bait and the possession or sale of nongame fish if the container capacity used to hold the shad exceeds 82 quarts.

Kazmar showed a voracious defense for the first time in several years and completely shut down quarterback Eli Manning and the New York Giants offense, limiting it to a mere field goal and slaughtering them in time-of-possession. e Cowboys’ offense was led by quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott, who riddled the proud New York Giants defense. If the Pokes showed any weakness Sunday night it was in the red zone, but I’ll take a 19-3 win over the Giants any time. And as long as Elliott continues to appeal his six-game suspension, the Cowboys’ offense will be just fine. KWICKIES…e Houston Astros appear to be in their usual September swoon as the end of the 162-game season comes to a close. I think the expansion of the roster with the extra players from the minor leagues is the culprit and does not promote winning. Fortunately, the Astros should win the AL West Division

From Page 1B handily. But they won’t begin the playoffs with a winner’s mentality as manager A.J. Hinch finagles with the daily lineups. After all, nearly half of the players on the expanded roster won’t be eligible for the playoffs anyhow. As pathetic as the season’s opener was for the San Francisco 49ers’ offense Sunday with Brian Hoyer at quarterback, the 49ers’ front office should get down on their knees and beg Colin Kaepernick to return to their team—even if he wants to lay down on the bench naked during the National Anthem. Texas and Texas A&M should follow the example of the Missouri Tigers, who fired defensive coordinator DeMontie Cross a day after Mizzou got stomped by South Carolina 3113 and a week after surrendering 43 points to Football Championship Subdivision opponent Missouri State. Cross’ firing was effective immediately and no replacement was named according to the school’s announcement.

Colburn would work that long and that hard at such a disgustingly ﬁlthy job. ey stopped only long enough to text for more help. Even more impressive was the fact that they kept coming back day after day. e bottom line is that the entire home was gutted and drying out in less than four days. I could understand friends and co-workers pitching in because I saw the same thing day after day when helping friends in Bridge City after Ike, but when folks you don’t even know volunteer simply because they saw someone needed help on Facebook ... that’s powerful. I don’t know that I will go as far as ever posting anything on

JUST BETWEEN US…Many of you local golfers are wondering about the status of Orange County’s only course—Sunset Grove Country Club. First of all the restaurant and pro shop suffered NO water or wind damage from Harvey. However, the cart barn was not so lucky, with some three feet of water inundating the facility, virtually ruining the golf carts parked there. I talked to club manager/head pro Kerry Lamb Monday afternoon and he said the grill will be open, all the employees still have jobs and the status of the restaurant, dance ﬂoor and the bayou room will be determined later, contrary to an e-mail some of the members received last week from a former board of directors member and former Men’s Golf Association member of the executive committee. Lamb assured members that everything right now is temporary and hopefully things will be back to normal in the very near future.

From Page 1B Facebook, but I will certainly check it out more often.Someone just might need some help! After driving through the county it was hard in some cases to understand why one house is obscured by a mountain of ruined belongings and the next door neighbor doesn’t have a puddle of water in the yard. If you lived in the wrong place, however, you will never forget Harvey. We have never seen this much fresh water at one time and it will be a while before area fishermen can put fish catching patterns together again. Obviously the hardest hit will be the saltwater fishing.e rivers are still high and a lot of

water is still draining out of flooded woods. Trout don’t do well in fresh water! I would guess that at least fifty percent of area fishermen haven’t even given fishing a second thought over the past two weeks thanks to Harvey. If your boat lives in the driveway, be sure and check out every storage compartment for unwanted water. In the event that you forgot to pull the plug your boat is now a little heavier and harder on trailer tires as well. If you haven’t renewed your fishing license it is time to take care of that little matter before your next trip!

Chinook helicopters air drop hay to starving cattle Staﬀ Report For e Record Cowboy Church has become a main staging area for cattle rescue in Orange County. Chinook helicopters are being loaded with bales of hay to be air dropped to various locations where cattle is stranded and starving. e distressed animals are located in areas unaccessible to local ranchers, particularly in Vidor. e Chinook helicopters are part of the Harvey recovery effort provided by the Pennsylvania National Guard. Two helicopters are working in tandem to shuttle hay by air across ﬂooded terrain. e Cowboy Church of Orange County also has supplies available for those needing assistance. y are providing water, MREs, baby products as well as other items including feed, hay (square and round bales) and dog food. e church is located at 673 FM 1078 in Orange. And will be open daily 9 a.m.until dark.

Commish says rumor false

hoarding

Dave Rogers For e Record An Orange County leader reacted angrily Friday to social media reports that Hurricane Harvey relief supplies are being hoarded or misappropriated. “Man, it’s just been crazy,” County Commissioner Johnny Trahan said in front of a nearempty airplane hangar at the Orange County Airport. e hangar doubled as a warehouse full of water, snacks and baby supplies until military transports stopped coming in ursday morning. As fast as teams of Army National Guard reservists could take the disaster supplies oﬀ planes, others trucked them to one of 16 neighborhood distribution sites serving the public. “We got about two million tons of supplies coming into the airport,” Trahan said. “We pushed about 1.8 million tons out. “All we have an abundance of here is water because the pods have requested us to quit sending water.” Most residents have electricity and safe drinking water now. Trahan says the big need is for cleaning supplies, including bleach and peroxide to kill quick-growing mold. A major weeklong military airlift eﬀort that include huge Chinook helicopters and a C-130 cargo plane may have ended but private planes continued steadily landing at the airport ursday and Friday with private donations. Some of the planes’ cargo is earmarked for local religious organizations or businesses to distribute. Some of the deliveries are open-ended, left to be sent where most needed. e goods were getting delivered, not hoarded. “Facebook is good to distribute a lot of information,” Trahan said. “Unfortunately, people can distribute a lot of bad information, too.’

Red Cross Financial Help for Hurricane Harvey victims anks to our generous donors, the American Red Cross will be providing financial assistance to Texas households that were severely impacted by Harvey and need help taking care of emergency needs. Right now, we are in the initial few hours of this effort and are focusing on helping people in emergency shelters. We are experiencing an exceedingly high demand, and ask that people please be patient. We plan to share additional information soon, including how to register. Registration will be open for 30 days. In the meantime, please note that assistance will be available for those significantly affected by Hurricane Harvey which includes: · Primary residence was severely impacted by Harvey. · Household is in need of emergency assistance. · Household was displaced by the impact of Harvey. · Verifiable pre-disaster primary address in one of these 39

Hurricane related contractor, development permits For any construction in the unincorporated areas of Orange County and the cities of Pine Forest and Rose City: Orange County says contractors performing any construction for any hurricane related damages will need a CONTRACTOR’S PERMIT through Orange County Environmental Health and Code Compliance. To obtain a contractor’s permit, the contractor should contact Orange County EH&CC and provide their driver’s license, social security number and contractor’s bonding information. DEVELOPMENT PERMITS will be required on all construction performed due to Hurricane Harvey regardless of the ﬂood zone a residence is located in. A damage assessment must be completed prior to obtaining this permit. All Hurricane Harvey related permit fees will be waived. For more information on the permits, contact the Environmental Health & Code Compliance Oﬃce, at 409-745-1463.

(Photo by Dave Rogers) over the country will rush to Florida, just like they did to Rockport or Houston before encamping at Beaumont or Orange. e Cajun Gravy, a non-proﬁt group of volunteers from Louisiana left Orange Tuesday to resupply and head to Irma. While they were here, they cooked and served over 18,600 hot meals over the past week for all the ﬁrst responders. e Florida Wildlife Commission, which brought along about 50 boats, 17 high water vehicles and two mobile command cen-

ters, was credited with saving at least 500 Southeast Texans. en Florida Gov. Rick Scott ordered them to come home and take care of their own. Wednesday, the National Weather Service reported Irma is projected to be a threat to Florida later this weekend into early next week. e sharp turn to the north is due to an upper level trough of low pressure in the east central U.S. that will erode the Bermuda high pressure that is currently steering Irma to the west-northwest.

High water rescues continue in Orange Staﬀ Report For e Record High water rescues continue in the city of Orange in the wake of historic ﬂooding by Tropical Storm Harvey last week, Capt. Robert Enmon of the Orange Police Department said. First responders are still working the area in search of citizens. Flood water remains in much of Orange County, particularly near local rivers, bayous and drainage canals.

Bridge City students provide free meals in storm aftermath In an effort to help our families during their recovery from Hurricane Harvey, Bridge City ISD Food Service Department applied for and was granted a waiver from USDA & Texas Department of Agriculture to allow all students to receive free meals. e meals include one free breakfast and one free lunch daily for each student. e last day for this benefit is Friday, September 29. BCISD is continuing to accept / process 2017 – 2018 meal applications to determine the status of the household for when this waiver ends. On October 2, students will have to pay regular price, reduced price or will be free as determined by each household qualifications.

SEPTEMBER 6 Florida responders, vols go home to prepare for Irma By Dave Rogers For e Record You couldn’t hardly go anywhere in Orange County the past few days – when you could go anywhere in Orange County – without encountering a storm helper from Florida. More than 400 volunteers came from Florida to help with the aftermath of Tropical Storm Harvey, folks from organizations like the Salvation Army, Southern Baptist Convention, Red Cross and Feeding Florida. And that doesn’t count the 125 game wardens from the Florida Wildlife Commission, many of whom had been bunking near the county’s Emergency Operations Center on FM 1442. But starting Tuesday, they were heading their trucks and RVs home in a hurry. News that Hurricane Irma, a Major Category 5 storm, was bearing down on south Florida sent them racing home. “We’ve been here since Sunday and we were supposed to stay until Saturday. But we have to go home and take care of our loved ones,” said Al Magdalen of Fort Lauderdale. Magdalen was here with Alison ompson of Miami assisting with animal rescues. ey were planning to head home Wednesday morning, but not making one more rescue and plucking 30 cats from the waterlogged home of a local woman. “We will be fine,” County Commissioner Barry Burton said, speaking of the police, fire and rescue specialists and military units that coordinate efforts through the county. He noted it is standard during a disaster of Harvey’s magnitude to have first responders from distant cities cycle in and out to relieve overworked locals during a long-term event. “ey are leaving on a regular schedule,” he said. And it isn’t just Floridians that are hitting the road. Disaster specialists from all

As of noon Tuesday, Four storm-related deaths have occurred in the city of Orange. Enmon said two deaths were caused by electrocution, one death resulted from drowning and another was a hospice patient on dialysis. Names of the victims where not released. Two other deaths were suﬀered in the city but were deemed to be caused by medical conditions. At least 10 people have died in Orange County as a result of the storm as ﬁrst responders continue to search the area.

tive in her Sunday School class, î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e Marthaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and church, First Baptist of Mauriceville. She was a member of the Southeast Texas Ostomy Group serving as the President for over 20 years. She counseled and guided many people through the changes in life brought by their need for an ostomy. Shirley was a Godly woman who had a true servantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart. She enjoyed traveling, shopping with her â&#x20AC;&#x153;sistersâ&#x20AC;? and doting on her grandchildren. She was the happiest when she was serving others. One of the ways she expressed her love was through cooking. Sunday meals after church at NeeNaws were always an event. She often started cooking on Wednesday to make sure everything was perfect for the Sunday meal. Her Red Velvet cakes were a family favorite and the highlight of each birthday. She took this expression of love to the church where she helped prepare and serve countless meals. She was preceded in death by her parents and stepfather Wallace Walker and her brother Johnny Dale McDaniel. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ose left to cherish her memory are her husband î&#x20AC;&#x201C;omas Burton, her children Barry Burton and his wife Cindy, daughter Alicia Burton, son Keith Burton and ďŹ ancĂŠ Susan Peveto as well as her two grandchildren Megan and Collin Burton. Also surviving Shirley is half-sister Betty Vines of Louisiana and several cousins, nieces and nephews. Serving as pall bearers will be Collin Burton, George Shannon, Tim Shannon, Kevin Simmons, Dale Peddy and James Van Pelt. Honorary pall bearers are Owen Burton, Garth Simmons, Joe Shannon, Ed Hayes and Marshall Willey.

Sara Elizabeth Green Bertles, 77, Bridge City Sara Elizabeth Green Bertles, known to most as "Sallie," of Bridge City, Texas, passed away on August 24th, 2017 in Houston, Texas. A celebration and memorial service honoring her was held Saturday, September 9, 2017 at Winfree Baptist Church on Highway 62 in Orange, Texas. OďŹ&#x192;ciating will be Dr. Gary Hopkins, and Pastor Bill Collier. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e family received friends beginning at 10:00 am until the service begins. Born in Salem, New Jersey on May 17, 1940 Sallie was the daughter of George PlumSARA ELIZABETH mer Green and Mary Gardner Green. GREEN BERTLES Sallie was known for her servant's heart, always having a ready kitchen and an open pocketbook to celebrate birthdays, holidays & weddings or to help in times of need. Most people who met her became a friend she never forgot. She was still close friends with those from her high school class (Salem HS 1958), Beta Sigma Phi sorority and card club groups and remembered many of them annually with small Christmas gifts and cards. She worked as a secretary in several schools from grade school to university and was known for her soft "phone voice", candy bowl, ready smile and "can do anything" helpful attitude. She was a member of United Methodist Church in Salem, NJ for decades before joining Park Bible Baptist. After moving to Texas in 1979 the family joined Heritage Park Baptist Church in Webster where she made more lifelong friends and served the community. After moving to Orange, TX and working for Lamar College she became known as "î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e Angel Lady." Not only was she was an avid collector of angels, she also exhibited angelic qualities herself. "Miss Sallie" took special, personal care of every student who came through her oďŹ&#x192;ce. Over the last few years, Sallie joined and came to love her Sunday school class at Winfree Baptist Church. She could not wait for greeting time so she could give and get "Her hugs!" Sallie was known for her beautiful handwriting which had not changed even in her advanced age. She frequently received requests to address wedding invitations from friends, and friends of friends. All were thrilled with the results! It was her heart's joy to serve that way. Sallie was preceded in death by her parents, her sister, Katherine Elaine Green Cromer, and her loving husband of over 55 years, Bruce Wayne Bertles. She is survived by her sister Jane Louise Green Rodgers Maybray of Juno Beach, Florida; children, Susan Beth Bertles Moore and husband David of Little Elm, Texas, Steven Bruce Bertles and wife Jackie of Centerville Ohio, Stuart Blaine Bertles and wife Kristi of Orange, Texas; grandchildren Melissa Mitchell, Matthew Moore, Mitchell Moore, Merri Lynn Moore, Tyler Bertles and wife Rachel, Sara Bertles, Brett Bertles, and Brooke Bertles; great-grandchildren, Natalie, Logan, and Valerie Mitchell, Averi Moore, and Peter Bertles.

Preparing for the Storms of Life eignty? 3. Memorize Scripture. We need to learn and memorize verses that point to the truth about suffering and the trials of life. We can memorize passages on God’s promises toward us, the hope we have in Christ, and how God uses suffering in our lives for our transformation and his glory. There are several important verses in Romans 8, such as Romans 8:18, 28–30, 35–39.

Article by Christina Fox Guest Contributor desiringGod.org Where I live it is hurricane season. And like anyone familiar with the Atlantic or Caribbean knows, it’s important to be prepared for a hurricane. Every summer we stock up on supplies of batteries, water, canned goods, and other necessities. We make sure to keep our tree limbs trimmed. We map out where we will go in the case of an evacuation. For many who live near the coast though, we can get lax in our preparations. When it’s been a few years since the threat of a storm, we let our stock of supplies go. Though the meteorologist warns us every year to be prepared, too often we prefer to wait until there actually is a storm churning out on the horizon. That’s what happened the year I was nine months pregnant and two category-three storms hit our coastal town. The stores were crowded with people buying food and water. I scrambled to figure out where to go and what to take with me. The lines at the gas stations were long.

And after the storm, when everyone was without power for weeks, the realities of the need for storm readiness hit hard.

The Storms of Life It seems like common sense to prepare ahead of time for a hurricane, tornado, or blizzard. How about the storms of life? Should we prepare in advance for periods of trial and suffering? I believe that it is important to prepare our minds and hearts for the inevitable trials of life. Without a theological foundation in place for how to face such storms, we are at greater risk for being blown over by the fierce winds of suffering when they arrive. What does it mean to have a theological foundation? It means having a theology of suffering: knowing what we believe and why about God, his sovereignty, and the hardships we experience in this world. Developing a Theology of Suffering So how do we develop a

theology of suffering? What are some practical ways we can prepare for the storms of life? Here are four simple ways, like gathering hurricane supplies, that we can prepare for the storms of tomorrow. 1. Study the Word. We need to study what the Bible says about trials and suffering. Why do they exist? How should we respond? How does God use suffering in our lives? We also need to study what Scripture teaches about God, who he is, and his character. It makes a big difference whether we believe God is out to get us or whether we believe that he is holy, righteous, and good in all that he does. 2. Affirm God’s sovereignty. What we believe about God’s sovereignty plays a significant role in how we face suffering. Do we believe that he is in absolute control over everything that happens? Do we trust that he will use all things, even our suffering, for our good and his glory? How can we trust in and find hope in his sover-

4. Pray. We need to develop an active prayer life. During the calm seasons of life, we need to grow in prayer and learn to turn to God for all things. The more we trust and rely on God in prayer, the more we will utilize prayer during the trials of life. In a crisis, we tend to do things by instinct. Prayer should be instinctual, like breathing. It was ten years ago that I delivered my first child after a hurricane blew through our town. It was a frightening time that is hard to forget. Facing the storms of life unprepared is frightening as well. It’s in the times of peace and calm that we need to develop a theology of suffering by steeping ourselves in Scripture and praying through hard questions. And we need to pray for a faith that faces the devastation that storms of life leave behind, a faith that can say, “Blessed be the name of the Lord!” Christina Fox (@christinarfox) writes for a number of Christian ministries and publications including True Woman, ERLC, and The Gospel Coalition.
