Danger, Will Robinson. More than 50 years after “Lost In Space” introduced robots to many earthlings, Orange County is going into the robot business. On a day that saw the county government agree to terms on a short-term $8 million loan, and get good

news on delinquent tax accounts, county commissioners voted 5-0 at Tuesday’s weekly meeting to OK a purchase of a $19,000 tactical robot for use by the Sheriff’s Office SWAT team. The money to pay for it is not coming out of county coffers, but rather from the Sheriff’s Office Drug Forfeiture Fund. “Technology’s a wonderful

Cities try to put brakes on illegal dumping David Ball

For The Record

Dumped tires are not only an eyesore, but they’re also a health hazard that serve as breeding grounds for mosquitoes. The cities of Pinehurst and Orange, likewise, are trying to get a handle on people illegally dumping tires in their city limits. Harry Vine, code enforcement officer for Pinehurst, said tire dumping was a problem earlier this month until numbers started to lower. “A tire shop in town, Lone Star Tire, graciously picked up the tires and disposed of them properly and solved the problem,” Vine said. “Hope-

fully whoever is dumping we’ll catch them in the act and write the citation.” Though the code enforcement department isn’t exactly sure where the tires are coming from, Vine has his suspicions that either a used tire shop was getting rid of them or a shop going out of business was dumping them. “We have a pretty good idea which vehicle is doing the dumping,” he said. “With all the rain we’ve been having they collect water and mosquitoes breed in them. Tires are cut into quarters to properly dispose of them. Some shops have a hydraulic machine that chops them

Early voters flock to polling booths across Orange County Dave Rogers

How badly do Orange Countians want to vote in next month’s General Election for federal, state and county legislators and officials? Well, more than 2,200 mail-in ballots had arrived at the County Elections office by last Friday, compared to 850 for the last mid-term election, in 2014. A total of 2,400 people voted in person Monday, the first day of early voting, at one of the county’s four early voting locations. The number or registered voters in Orange County, Elections Administrator Tina Barrow said, was 53,381 for this election. In 2014, be-

Stagner tops campaign spending reports Dave Rogers

For The Record

Hershel Stagner Jr., might have gotten his job as a mid-term replacement but the Precinct 1 Justice of the Peace leaves little doubt he wants to keep it. Stagner reported $3,900 in campaign contributions, $5,968 in expenses and a surplus of $15,350 on his final pre-election financial report. In contrast, his opponent, Gail Barnett listed no contributions and $1,707 in expenses, all from her personal funds. In Orange County’s only other contested race, Theresa Beauchamp reported $1,100 in contributions and $853 in expenses. Her opponent, Democrat Deborah Mitchell, did not

file a three-month report due Oct. 9. Both Stagner and Beauchamp accepted $1,000 donations from the Executive Committee of the Orange County Republican Party. The Orange County Republican Party is also in arrears when it comes to filing reports, say two campaign reporting experts in the Texas Ethics Commission office in Austin. The Orange County GOP held a large fundraiser in March with more than 300 attending a $75 a plate dinner that featured Gov. Greg Abbott and Congressman Brian Babin. An accounting of that event should have been filed in July, the Ethics Commission employees

Illegal dumping into quarters.” Though it’s in the city limits of Orange, 40 to 50 old tires were found stacked in a vacant convenience store on 37th Street. Each tire in a yard, if improperly stored, can become a breeding ground for thousands of mosquitoes which can carry life-threatening diseases such as dengue fever, West Nile virus and various forms of encephalitis, according to the Environmental Protection Agency website. The design of tires provides an ideal nursery for mosquito larvae. Tires fill with water after a rainstorm and retain the water as some of the inside areas of the tires are shaded continuously, preventing evaporation of the trapped water. Tires are

Steven Reinberg HealthDay News With flu season imminent, U.S. health officials urge everyone 6 months and older to get a flu shot. Already, one unvaccinated child in Florida has died from flu, the officials warned. Not many cases have been reported so far, so it’s too soon to know if this year’s strains will be as severe as last season’s, said Lynnette Brammer, of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “The states that have reported to us have minimal influenza activity,” said Brammer, head of the CDC’s domestic influenza surveillance. “The viruses we are seeing are a mixed bag. We have H1N1 and H3N2 influenza A strains, and two influenza B strains have been detected.” Flu seasons aren’t predictable, which is why you shouldn’t skip your annual flu shot, added another infectious-disease expert, Dr. Lisa Maragakis.

Tuesday, they agreed to an interest rate of 3.4865 percent, plus an $8,000 fee to the Texas Attorney General and the bond counsel. But commissioners hope to use no more than $2 million of the “County Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes” and to pay it back by the end of January, assuming the usual payment of county taxes around the first of the year. Tax Assessor-Collector Karen Fisher said Orange County tax bills went out Tuesday morning. And, meanwhile, everyone is hoping a $2.5 million FEMA check “in the pipeline” becomes a reality sooner than later. The county has previously used “tax anticipation notes” in 2012, 2013 and 2014, Auditor Pennee Schmitt said. The hour and a half meeting began with a report by Steve Bird of Linebarger Law Firm, the county’s outside collector of delinquent taxes. Bird said the county was due a total of $3.5 million on delinquent taxes, of which

Early voters Republicans only. The two local races with a choice are Precinct 1 Justice of the Peace and Precinct 2 Commissioner. Republican Hershel Stagner, Jr., who stepped in for retiring Judge David Peck in 2017, is taking on Democrat Gail Barnett. Barnett, a local attorney who has previously served as JP in Mississippi, ran unsuccessfully against Peck in 2014. For the Commissioner’s race, Republican Theresa Beauchamp is taking on Democrat Deborah Mitchell after Beauchamp ousted incumbent Barry Burton in the primary. Also residents of the West Orange-Cove CISD will be voting on a $25.7 million

Barnett lost to Judge David Peck in the JP 1 race in 2014 and unsuccessfully sought the interim appointment that went to Stagner after a health emergency forced Peck to retire at the end of 2016. Most of her July through September expenses came in a $1165 payment to Beaumont’s Image 360 for advertising. Besides the local Republicans, Beauchamp received a $100 contribution from William Shaddock of Plano, the son of an Orange doctor and owner of Capital Title. Her expenses included $375 for advertising with the Record Newspapers and $185 with 4All Promotions of Connecticut for campaign swag.

County business one or keep one of the SWAT officers out of harm’s way.” The commissioners liked the idea of any idea that keeps county employees out of harm’s way. “I’d much rather make an insurance claim on a bullet hole in a robot than a person,” Commissioner Jody Crump said. Merritt he plans to share the robot with other neighboring law enforcement agencies, if requested. “It’s available to anybody,” he said. “Jefferson County is pretty well covered, but say Newton County or Jasper County: it’ll be available to them. “We’ll send the robot and operator, if they’re requested.” A shortage of timely reimbursements by the federal and state government for damage caused by Tropical Storm Harvey more than a year ago led County Judge Dean Crooks and commissioners to ask staff to check on short-term loans to get the county through the final three months of this year.

said. Besides the local GOP, Stagner reported a $1,000 donation from Brown and Linda Claybar of Orange. He also scored a $500 from the Republican Party of Texas and $300 each from James Goodman of Orange, and William and Judith Klein of Bridge City. Stagner’s report includes an outstanding $10,000 personal loan from the fall. His July through September expenses were all for advertising, the biggest a Sept. 7 payment of $2,150 to radio station KOGT, followed by a $1,324 billboard from Lamar Advertising. He spent $550 for advertising with the LCM Athletic Booster Club and $540 with the Record Newspapers.

82 percent, nearly $3 million, was on real property. The remaining 17 percent was split between trailer homes (9 percent), personal property (7 percent) and mineral accounts (1 percent.)

vides clues to what this year’s flu season might look like, explained Maragakis, senior director of infection prevention at Johns Hopkins Health System in Baltimore. “It’s cautiously good news that it might be a milder season than we saw last year -so fingers crossed,” said Maragakis. Still, even when activity overall is low, people still get influenza, Brammer said. “And influenza can have really tragic consequences. Even people that are healthy and young can get influenza and it can, in rare cases, lead to death,” she added. Last year, 80,000 people in the United States died from flu -- a record high, Brammer said. The deaths included 183 children, most of whom were unvaccinated. Because last year’s vaccine wasn’t a good match to the predominant H3N2 virus, the vaccine has been tweaked, Brammer said. This year’s four-strain vaccine includes H1N1 and H3N2 plus the two influenza B strains. The three-strain vaccine has just one B strain, Brammer said.

From The Creaux’s Nest DODGERS –RED SOXS 102 YEAR GAP--LONGEST IN HISTORY The most important thing for all of us to do is vote. Early voting is now in progress, which is the easy way to vote. In and out in five minutes or less. You can vote at any of the four locations. Promise yourself you will vote and keep your promise.*****Tuesday night at Fenway Park in Boston, the Dodgers and Red Sox opened game one of the 114thWorld Series. The teams have only met once in the World Series despite all of their success through the years, back to 1916, when the Red Sox beat the Brooklyn Robins in five games for the club’s fourth championship. The Robins were led by a young outfielder named Casey Stengel. In game two, Babe Ruth threw 14 innings, 13 scoreless. That started a record streak of 29 2/3 scoreless innings in the 1916 World Series for the Bambino. That record stood for 43 years, until 1961, when it was broken by Whitey Ford. The Red Sox didn’t play at Fennway in the World Series, both 1915 and 1916, because it seated only 35,000, they played at the Boston Braves field which held 40,000. Today, it’s America’s oldest park and still the smallest even after expansion. Sit back and enjoy the great series. It’s as American as apple pie. My guess is Boston in six games, but theDodgers have given me a lot of enjoyment over the years. *****Come along. I promise it won’t do you no harm.

WHAT WE SHOULD FEAR THE MOST What you would think we should fear the most is the United States going to war. Even though that is likely, for the simple reason that Trump can’t get re-elected without the country being at war. No president has ever been defeated during war time. We would likely lose some young military lives but that’s not my biggest fear at the moment, health care is. Many more lives would be lost and the poor and elderly would suffer. Health Care is due to be cut across the board. The reason is a $1.5 trillion tax cut which benefits 83.9 percent of the nation’s wealthiest, at the same time would give citizens $4,000 a year more on their pay checks. This is called trickle down economics. It doesn’t work and never will. The aftermath of the big money giveaway is that the country is now facing a deficit, the largest in years and next year the figures will go well over a trillion dollars. Now Republicans are screaming about having to make cuts on a deficit they created. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said entitlements will have to be cut, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, plus another attempt at repealing ObamaCare. Now President Trump has asked his cabinet to cut 5% of their budgets across the board to address the deficit. Also at issue is a Federal lawsuit filed in Texas by Republican attorney general, representing 20 states. It seeks to repeal Obama’s health care in its entirety. It would end all aspects, including pre-existing conditions that would lead to the death of many poor and elderly. It would also do away with insurers being prevented from charging older Americans far more than younger ones. They would go back to the policy of the older you are, the more you pay for insurance. Also, to please the insurance lobby, allowing adult children to stay on parents insurance until age 26 would end. If the lawsuit is successful, all of it goes not just parts. Many citizens protected today under the Affordable Care Act will be left to die. A few months ago we gave away over a trillion dollars to the wealthy and taking away health care is how they plan to pay for a small part of that deficit. They preach fear of gun confiscation, abortion, immigrants, etc. so they can keep robbing us. Meanwhile, we keep voting against our own self interest while the benefits go to the super wealthy. They get their huge tax cuts and the citizens get stiffed on our basic need, health care and Social Security, the life blood of so many elderly. Believe me, if they have their way, we will resemble a third world country. Health care and lack of security for our citizens is my biggest fear. You’d best take the blinders off before it is too late. What we need is better health care at a lower cost.

CONDOLENCES We were sorry to learn about the death of Louvonia Hryhorchuk, 85, who passed away October 21. She worked in the Orange County tax office for 40 years, the last 20 years as Tax Assessor Collector. She was a nice lady but she ran a tight ship and no doubt who was the boss. She ran in five county races. Roy served as her campaign manager in her first race against Juanita Jordan. He has some interesting stories about that first race against the Bob Montagne forces. Louvenia was a remarkable Christian lady. Please see obituary for her life’s story and time of service. May she rest in peace.

TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME 10 Years Ago-2008 Thank heaven for the many church groups, first responders and the volunteers, they are Good Samaritans. Without their help many cases would be a lost cause. One group we ran into Saturday was the Lamar University Student Faculty Staff and Alumni volunteers. On this one team was professor Dr. Jason Lamberst, team leader Brian Roberson,crew members Adriana Sanchez, a real cutie with a great personality helping clean out a home despite having been a victim of Ike herself in the Houston area. Other members were Joshua Pullin, Amanda Savage, Kevin

Zheng, Lasiandra Sullivan and Keisha Guiany. Other crews were spread out over the Triangle. Lamar University, we thank you.***** all over 50-year-old establishments, Crumpler Machine, Bridge City Cleaners and Hopper Lumber Co., were all or partly destroyed by Ike but these old Bridge City established businesses have confidence in the future of the business economy. The Crumplers, Ms. Ann Segura and Lee Angelle all have been mainstays and are moving forward despite the hardships. Other establishments are doing the same, betting on the people of Bridge City and Orangefield. *****A beautiful sight over the weekend wasFEMA trailers starting to roll in. It’s almost impossible to restore a home in reasonable time when one is displaced, make the drive to work on the home only when time permits. If you live on the grounds it’s easier to piddle, clean up, tear out and replace items. FEMA has been slow and in many cases indifferent. Many people who deserve help haven’t received a nickel; others have unjustly been denied help even though their situation is obvious. Red tape has bogged the recovery in Orange County down. Many phone calls, e-mails, faxes and visiting FEMA tents have been frustrating to the much in need citizens. Rep. Kevin Brady visited the area Saturday and got a personal eye full of damages and injustices. Time will tell if he’s been able to reach the right ears and if someone out there is listening or really cares. ***** Four years ago, when Geo. W. and Cheney were re-elected, we said in this column that before they left office they would drive the country to near depression. Over the last year alone, more than 1,400,000 workers have lost their jobs and are unemployed and now all the major corporations are having mass layoffs. The economy is the worst since the Great Depression, 401ks and retirement funds are in the sink and the elderly will suffer. The homeless and hopeless numbers have risen throughout the country. ***** Warren Buffet is one of Obama’s economic advisers on how to turn the economy around. You can’t do much better than that. Obama is smart enough to surround himself with experts. Good people to go along with foreign expert Joe Biden. ***** Texas barely skimmed by Oklahoma State. They face the biggest test of all Saturday against Texas Tech in Lubbock. They won’t have the record setting 98,000 crowd. Our Orange County boys, Dion Beasley and Earl Thomas, will be really busy for the Longhorn defense. The Texas secondary will be tested with one of the country’s best passing teams.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Sostan Thibeaux is back to his old drinking habits after being dry for a few months because of his health, and promising his wife Agnes dat he wouldn’t drink no more. He stopped off at Tee-Boy’s Bar and Grill and drank beer way into da night. Wen da bar closed, Sostan stood up to leave and fell flat on his face. He crawled outside for fresh air tinking dat maybe dat would help him up. He tried to stand and fell again so he crawled the tree blocks to his house and crawled up da stairs. Wen he reached his bed he stood up and fell face down on da bed. Sostan him, woke up wit his wife standing over him hollowing at him. “Wats wrong, Babe?” he axe. You lieing coonass you, Agnes say, you started drinking again and come home drunk as a skunk.” “How you no dat, hanh?” Sostan axe. “I know me,” Agnes said, “Tee-Boy called me and said you left you wheelchair dere.”

C’EST TOUT CONSERTATIVE CHRONICLE ENDORCES O’ROURKE

The Houston Chronicle, a Hearst newspaper, founded in 1901, is the most conservative newspaper in Texas. Over many decades 75% of their political endorsements have been for Republicans. Sunday, they endorsed Democratic U.S. senatorial candidate, Congressman Beto O’Rourke. The headline read that his bipartisan policy can serve as check on a president who is a danger to the republic. They went on to say, “The West Texas congressman’s command of issues that matter to this state, his unaffected eloquence and eagerness to reach out to all Texans make him one of the most impressive candidates this editorial board has encountered in years.” In the editorial pollster Nate Sliver quoted, “A Beto victory would be good for Texas, not only because of his skills, both personal and political, but also because of the manifest inadequacies of the man he would replace.” The Chronicle had endorsed Ted Cruz in 2014 said today he has exhibited little interest in addressing the need of his fellow Texans. He has kept his eyes on a higher prize. He has been running for president since he took office. In 2013 he was responsible for a government shutdown that accomplished nothing but cost taxpayers billions of dollars. Cruz’s first vote as a senator was a “Nay” authorizing $60 billion for relief agencies working Hurricane Sandy victims. His colleagues reminded him of that vote when he wanted help for Harvey. U.S. Sen. John Cornyn was effective, Cruz was not. His repellent personality hamstrings his ability to do his job.O’Rourke has partnered with Sen. Cornyn on a border crossing bill. Political scientist Jay Aiyor has compared Beto O’Rourke to Lloyd Bentsen, Ann Richards and Mark White, reformed minded Democrats. The election of O’Rourke would give Texans a senator from each party. He will be a U.S. senator who knows the issues, who takes firm positions but reaches out to those who disagree to make government work for Texas and the nation. The Chronicle reported Monday that the Cruz campaign plans to go on a two week blitz of negative, smear campaign commercials to stop the O’Rourke’s surge. Monday evening in Houston, Cruz was joined by President Trump for a political rally.Trump has often called Cruz “Lying Ted” and Cruz called Trump a pathological liar, utterly amoral, narcissist, bully and serial philanderer. Now Ted has called on him to help buoy his campaign. The Toyota Center on Monday heard the usual Trump rally speech, enough hot air and personal attack by him and Cruz to blow the roof off the arena.Seventy-six minutes of Trump talking about himself. We don’t have any tax cuts coming and there ain’t no Middle Easterners’ in the caravan that is 1,000 miles away. It would be refreshing to have another U.S. senator like Beto O’Rouke that Texas and his colleges respect and who will be effective.*****That’s all for me. I’ve voted. Trump said to pretend he was on the ballot. I took him at his word and that’s what I did. Take care and God bless.

Overcoming life’s bad nightmares Ike’s devastating path through SE Texas

10 years after Ike, loss still painful When I was a boy in Abbeville, back in 1940, a hurricane surge put a foot of salt water over the kitchen table. Grandma’s little house was on two-foot piers, on a piece of land with eight-foot elevation. If we wouldn’t have been rescued and evacuated in a handpaddled skiff to a large, high barn, we probably would have drowned because the water got up to the ceiling. We didn’t have many things in that old house, but it was all we had. We had no running water, just a hand pump, so with a soapy rag Mom and Grandma wiped everything down. The bedding, blankets, sheets, pillows and clothing were put out to dry and we used them even after the storm. We couldn’t afford to throw anything away and we had never heard of mold. We just poured a little lye and water on the mildew. It had been many years since I witnessed wind-driven salt water, not natural floodwater. An unnatural disaster is just that. A hurricane named Ike brought it. Most everyone who had homeowner insurance was covered for hurricanes but the insurance companies found a loophole. They covered the hurricane winds but not what it brought: debris, alligators, snakes, water, mud, etc. Everybody was screwed and the government looked the other way. A lot of people were hurt badly, some wiped out totally. Just a couple of years earlier we had been wiped out by Hurricane Rita, not with water but fallen trees. I never would have imagined that every structure we owned; home, rent houses, offices and commercial buildings would be destroyed in one clean sweep, plus all of

our vehicles, including antique cars. Only one car was covered totally. On Dec. 31, Phyl and I will be married 64 years. On that 1954 rented first apartment I paid the $50 a month rent and had $7 left. We started our family. Phyl washed clothes on a scrub board and hung them out to dry on the line. Mosquitoes were so bad when we moved into our own Bridge City home, she had to wear thick clothes in the heat of a humid summer to do her outdoor chores. The little furniture we had was mostly hand-me-downs. A small black and white television was our first luxury. We worked hard and struggled to make a better life for our family. Along the way we were fortunate and our efforts paid off. As our resources grew Phyl added better things to our home. Being a collector, I gathered unusual and some expensive, irreplaceable things. I put together many museum items to preserve for the future. Meanwhile, for years Jimmy Conn, without my blessing, helped Phyl get some nice furnishings. I paid him $100 a month for years. When one item was paid off he’d added another. He never let me get out of debt. After Rita’s crush, we had finally finished remodeling our home, improved the grounds and added a courtyard with many beautiful plants, which we both enjoyed caring for along with our small vegetable garden. We had made the decision that this home would take us to the end or until one of us had to go and the other would have to move on, prob-

Ike destroyed our home with wind and 32 inches of salt water and oily mud in 2008. ably under someone else’s care. We were totally satisfied. All this place needed was living. It wasn’t a mansion but we are not flashy: we simply wanted our things to be nice and comfortable, surroundings that were us, roomy and homey. Phyl was raised in a modest middle-class family, my early years were spent in a farm storage shack and I grew up with hard times. Along the road of our long life together we have seen ups and downs. I’ve gone busted before and Phyl learned what it was like to go from riches to rags. She has a high work ethic and I’ve always had confidence in my ability. We never worried much; we just tightened our belts and headed up again. There’s a huge difference in then and now. Back then we were looking ahead to a long road, not in our rearview mir-

ror to a road traveled. It probably wouldn’t have been very long before many of our possessions would have ended up on the curb anyway but it would have been nice to enjoy our things for the time we have left. Sixty-four years of marriage discarded on the side of the road is a heartwrenching experience. It was extremely saddening to watch Phyl stare at the pile of rubbish that had been our treasures hoping to maybe find one more picture of her mom or dad. We saved some valuables but even our jewelry, in the bank safety deposit box, was ruined. The “small print” said it wasn’t covered by insurance. They handed me the box with salt water still in it. A few years ago I would have said, “Oh well.” Thanks to some generous friends and caring family we were able to see some daylight and keep

the newspapers going. I knew I would work as long as I could, because I wanted to, not because I had to. A little coasting in old age, in a comfortable home ain’t bad. Those things however, are just material loses. Phyl and I have each other and that has sustained us all these many years and won’t let us down now. We have a great family: we’re enjoying watching the grandkids and now great-grandkids come into their own and our friends are most valuable. If our health holds we’ll be blessed and keep on moving Down Life’s Highway. Our load of treasures will be smaller and lighter. We took a hell of a lick. Ike wasn’t one of my bad deals or anything we bargained for 10 years ago. Life just dealt us snake eyes. We are not alone; many faced this situation. Ike wiped out an entire community that

we helped build. It’s so overwhelming. Then just over a year ago, a storm named Harvey hit our little community again. Many of our citizens received another blow. Phyl and I were spared, some in our family were not so fortunate. Thanks to resourceful and dedicated citizens and good city, school and community leaders, our little town continues to improve. Many of our elders made the choice to move away, saying they just couldn’t fight another recovery. As I approach my final years, I can certainly appreciate that but this is home. We have done too much living here to give up now. I believe I have one more recovery left in me. I pray that will never come. My thoughts 10 years after Ike.

SPORTS AND OUTDOORS

GAMES THIS WEEK JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

WOS Mustangs over Hardin Jefferson There’s a familiar name atop the District 10-4A-II standings—the West Orange-Stark Mustangs. But not as in previous years when the Mustangs were undefeated and among the Top 10 teams in the state, this team has struggled to reach the .500 mark in seven games, but is undefeated in league play. Hardin-Jefferson has a “new-old” coach in Dwayne Dubois, who came from Bridge City after leaving the Hawks’ program and then returning this year. But the Hawks stand at 2-6 and are searching for their first league win. They won’t find it this week.

LCM Bears Over Livingston The Battlin’ Bears stand at 1-1 in District 11-4A-I play and will get in the thick of the battle for a playoff berth with an expected win Friday night. But the fact the opponent is winless shouldn’t make the Bears let up because that could be disastrous.

For The Record

West Orange-Stark’s Mustangs look to pick up where they left off, before a week off from the gridiron. The ‘Stangs, just 3-4 for the season, scored a 24-21 win over Silsbee Oct. 12in their District 10-4A Division II opener. This Friday, they host HardinJefferson. The Hawks are 0-2 in district,

2-6 overall. So far, the Mustangs have outscored their opponents 23.6 points per game to 18.6 and have outgained them 311.4 yards per game to 247.4. Tyrone Wilson leads the Mustangs with 903 total yards and six total TDs, with 673 yards and three TDs via the pass. Jerren Terrell has 325 yards and four TDs passing. Kayvon Cooper has rushed for 397 yards and four scores and Justin Sibley has 272 yards and three

TDs on the ground. Jay’zn Robinson has a team-leading 18 catches for 234 yards and one score, while Brettlin Wiley is the leading deep threat, with 11 catches for 312 yards and three scores. Angel Ibarra has 32 kick points, going 7 of 8 on field goals and 11 of 13 on extra points. Ibarra kicked three field goals against Silsbee, including the game winner with 6 seconds left. Robinson has the team’s only

kickoff return touchdown and Javonn Ross has scored on an interception return.

Deweyville Pirates Over Groveton The Pirates definitely aren’t as bad as their 2-5 record and need to get an upset win to crank them up in district play. If the Pirates can win their final three games, they will have a legitimate shot at a playoff berth.

Wading yet another option

DICKIE COLBURN FISHING REPORT FOR THE RECORD

“I was conflicted after your report,” moaned Gerald North as he huffed and puffed while struggling to pull his wader boot over his left foot. “I love to wade, but every year my feet seem to get a little further from my hands. ” Due to the modest cold front it was the first time this year that I hadn’t wet-waded, but while the water is still warm enough to wade in shorts, it is miserably cold when you climb back into the boat. e only reason we had chosen to wade rather than drift the flats or work the shoreline was that Gerald is obsessed with trout. As a matter of fact, every time we fish he insists that I keep or release every red or flounder we catch! I have, on rare occasions, stumbled up on a few trout drift fishing over the past several months, but the few times I have waded were much more productive. Standing waist deep in the water launching wasted cast after cast is truly a grind, but when the trout decide to join the party it beats the heck out of drift fishing. My waders didn’t help ward off the cold much Tuesday morning due to the wind-blown rain sneaking in just beneath my chin. I was still doing little more than casting and changing lures when Gerald set the hook on the first of two slot redfish. In quick fashion, he cursed them, released them and headed my way. “Did you see those two big trout I just put back,” he teased. I was shivering and not in the mood to even respond. en, while pondering my next lure change, my topwater suddenly disappeared and I was attached to a fish through no fault of my own. When I finally brought the fish to hand we were both pleased to see our first seventeen inch trout. “at does it for me,” I yelled at Gerald. “I proved I can catch a trout, I win the contest and I am going back to the boat. ” Before I could take a half dozen steps he was fighting another trout while motioning me to come back at the same time. Over the next half hour we kept

seven solid trout before they moved on to less dangerous water. We quit as well shortly thereafter. We loaded up the boat, put on a dry shirt and drove over to Judice’s for a shrimp basket. I am yet to figure out why, but I have drifted the same areas that have produced a few trout while wading and not caught the first trout. We haven’t caught trout every time we waded, but we have still done better than we have fishing out of a boat. With all of the small bait and shrimp in the lake it is a little early to think “Corky” as your first choice of lures, but we have done pretty well with the Softdine XL. It catches better on a slow retrieve and that is easier to do when standing in one spot making multiple casts. We are now running into more small flocks of terns and gulls pecking away at bait driven to the surface by the fish, but for the most part we have caught only small specks, sand trout and reds under them. at action, not surprisingly, has been the best on an outgoing tide. While it continues to get very little attention, the flounder bite has been the most improved. We have caught some very nice flat fish on everything from Swim baits to 4-inch Assassins fishing both the shoreline and 6 to 8 foot breaks in the bayous. While most folks choose to fish live shad on a Carolina rig in deeper water, we have caught some very nice fish with the same set up in 2 to 4 feet of water. We only fish the Carolina rig in water that shallow when we see bait running the shoreline and can’t get the flounder to hit a lure. Having said that, I watched a couple catch three flounder in the two to three pound class fishing the DuPont Outfall while we were throwing a cast net. ose fish were 15 to 18 feet deep! If you haven’t fished Sabine Lake in a while don’t forget that the Game Reserve and the bayous leading into it are now officially closed through next March.

Astros exit way too soon WS goes on with defending champs KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR

FOR THE RECORD A great pitching match-up kicked oﬀ the 2018 World Series last night at Boston’s Fenway Park as the Red Sox ace Chris Sale started against Los Angeles Dodgers brilliant lefty Clayton Kershaw. But neither of these teams can boast about having the best starting pitching rotation in the major leagues. at honor goes to the defending world champion Houston Astros, who were picked to win the series by many prominent sports writers before the playoﬀs began earlier this month, despite the fact the Red Sox had the major’s league’s best record of 108-54. I do have to admit that the best team won the American League Championship Series last week, taking down Justin Verlander 4-1 in the elimination game as all of Boston’s four runs came on home runs. e Red Sox didn’t swing at many bad pitches like most Verlander opponents do as they kept the ball in play during most

of the series. Boston’s bull pen was better than Houston’s— at least for those five games. B o s t o n’s manager Alex Cora, who was the Astros’ bench coach for the last couple of seasons, seemed to make more correct decisions than his mentor, Astros’ skipper A.J. Hinch. So now the Astro’s hierarchy must start looking toward the 2019 season. e long-range plan by General Manager Jeff Luhnow was to rebuild the team that suffered through three seasons of more than 100 losses and to keep getting better each season. And that’s what has happened for the last three years as the number of victories has escalated during that time. But the basic plan got stymied this season after posting the most wins (103) in franchise history. e Astros were supposed to get to the World Series again, but it didn’t happen because the Boston Red Sox won more games than

Houston and won their way to the World Series. Improving over this season could present Luhnow with a major problem. It’s called free agency. ree of the five starting pitchers are big question marks for 2019. Dallas Keuchel, who endured those 100 loss seasons as the ace of the pitching staff, says he wants to test the free-agent waters. He was partially responsible for the turn-around by winning enough games to earn the Cy Young Award in 2015, finishing the regular season with 20-8 and a 2.48 earned run average. “I’ve given my heart and soul for seven full years, and I don’t know, this is the opportunity of a lifetime to be a free agent,” Keuchel was quoted in Sunday’s edition of the Houston Chronicle. “I would more than love to be back here (in Houston). I’ve made that known since day one.” Charlie Morton will also be a free agent after the final game of the World Series. He was on the mound when the Astros won the championship in 2017. e 34-year-old considered retirement after this season, but after

CMYK

Game 5 last week, he said he wanted to return in 2019. He would like to return to the Astros. One of the problems facing Houston is the money they would have to put up to keep both starting pitchers. Keuchel made $13.2 million while Morton made $7 million in the second of a two-year deal. Both pitchers would be due increases over those ﬁgures. e third pitcher with a question mark for 2019 is Lance McCullers, Jr. who suﬀered during most of the season with an unknown malady. ere are rumors he might need Tommy John surgery and might miss next season. McCullers insists the injury he was battling was said to come from swinging a bat, according to Sunday’s edition of the Chronicle. If Keuchel and Morton head to new teams and McCullers is out for the season, the Astros will have to revamp their starting rotation, which unquestionably was the best in the major leagues in 2018. But it shouldn’t be too shabby

Football 20 loss from last week. Orangefield led 14-3 and were up 14-9 at the half, thanks to a Chase Broussard score on a run and a Broussard pass to Cooper Lowe. Hardin led 22-14 late in the third quarter. A blocked punt set up Blake Bradley’s five-yard score. But a try for a tying two points failed. Late-season injuries have been key to Orangefield dropping to sixth in the league in total offense, averaging 269.4 yards per game. e Cats are fifth in total defense, giving up 226.9 yards per game. Bradley ranks ninth in the league in rushing, with 387 yards on 70 carries (a 5.5-yard average) and six scores. Clayson Choate leads 12-3A I in interceptions, with two and 85 yards of runbacks. Bradley’s score last week matched injured quarterback Mason Gonzales for the team scoring lead with 36 points.

LCM looks to rebound from late loss Adam Pope will be looking for another outstanding game for Little Cypress-Mauriceville this week at Livingston. A 310-yards, three-touchdowns passing game wasn’t enough for Pope to pull his teammates over the ﬁnish line last week against Splendora. LCM led 34-31 with 8:46 remaining but the Wildcats used a long pass of their own to come from behind, scoring the winning points with 36 seconds remaining.

James Williams scored on a 15-yard TD pass and Brendon Pollock tacked on a 14-point scoring catch-and-run. After Splendora took a quick third-quarter lead, Pope led LCM to another go-ahead tally in six plays and 87 yards. Running back Kristian Ickes made it 21-17 midway through the third. Ickes scored on his second seven-yard TD run for a 27-17 lead at the end of three. Splendora, 2-0, 6-1, scored twice, one after a fumbled kickoff by LCM, for a 31-27 lead. Pollock scored on a Pope pass for a 34-31 lead with 8:46 remaining. Pollock caught nine passes for 98 yards and two scores. Seth Carpenter snagged seven for 97, Darrien Williams six for 66 and James Williams five for 36. Ickes led LCM’s 78-yard rushing game with seven carries for 35 yards and the two scores.

Bridge City hosts league leading Lumberton Raiders e Bridge City Cardinals face a tough test Friday when they host District 11-4A Division I leader Lumberton. e Cards dropped to 0-2 in the district, 1-6 overall with last week’s 41-16 loss to Huffman Hargrave. Lumberton is 2-0 in district, 4-3 overall. Huffman scored on five plays of 20 yards or longer against BC. But the Cardinals tied the Falcons 7-7 early on a 40-yard touchdown pass from Cace Skinner.

Youth weekend big for many reasons

OUTDOORS WEEKLY CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE FOR THE RECORD

One of perhaps the most anticipated hunting days of the year is upon us; Saturday morning starts off the annual youth hunting weekend in Texas. Young hunters and adults alike look forward to this very special weekend for a variety of reasons. For many young hunters this is their opportunity to take center stage and reap the benefits of all the practice and preparation they have been through during the off season. The trips to the range, the work at the hunting lease, or perhaps all the scouting on public land will now hopefully pay big dividends once legal shooting time actually gets here. Texas has a great history of promoting the next generation’s hunters and fishermen through various programs so the Special Youth hunting seasons are always very important. Sharing the outdoor experience with any teenager or child is both a luxury and a duty that adult hunters should embrace.

By realizing that the youth of today will be the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts we are ensuring that the sport we love we will continue to thrive. If you are planning on participating in this weekends hunts there are a few things to remember in order to make sure that the time spent in the ﬁeld is a positive for everyone involved. Probably the most important thing to bring along on the hunt is plenty of patience. Don’t push a young hunter or add any pressure to the hunt, keep everything low key and all about them. Adults who get caught up in the moment can ruin the whole experience if they are not careful. Whatever the young hunter wants to do is fine, if they just want to watch the wildlife or learn more about the habitat then that’s okay. Keep the experience positive, it’s not just about killing an animal or a bird. Also be sure to take along some vital necessities such as plenty of snacks, drinks, and even something to waste a little time like an IPad to keep them from being bored. Remember their attention span is short and you are catering to them, this is a special day and it’s not about the adults. One other staple that should always be in the blind bag, especially with kids, is toilet

Korner in 2019 with Verlander and Gerrit Cole as the solid No. 1 and No. 2 starters, both of whom are tough to beat. KWICKIES…e huge Big Ten 40-20 upset by Purdue over Ohio State helped most Top 10 teams to move up in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 College Football Poll. Alabama remained at No. 1 and Central Florida stayed at No. 10 while Clemson (No. 2), Notre Dame (No. 3), LSU (No. 4), Michigan (No. 5), Texas (No. 6), Georgia (No. 7) and Oklahoma (No. 8) all moved up one place while No. 9 Florida jumped two places. Former No. 2 Ohio State dropped to No. 11. The Orangefield Bobcats, who rarely throw passes, tried one on a two-point conversion attempt at Friday night’s Homecoming game against Hardin Friday night in an attempt to tie the game in the waning seconds which bounced off the receiver’s hands, leaving the Bobcats with a heart-breaking 22-20 loss. Houston’s leading hitter for the last few years, Jose Altuve,

paper. Enough said, you will thank me later. Now when the business of actually pulling the trigger happens be prepared for a wide range of emotions. Some youngsters have very mixed reactions after they shoot. I remember the first deer my son Hunter killed, we hooped and hollered and celebrated immediately. After we calmed down I took that time to impress upon him about what happens when you pull the trigger on a gun, “this is not a game and there are no re-sets” I told him. “When you pull the trigger on a gun and kill something it never comes back, it’s final, so remember that and treat guns with the respect they deserve,” I added. Nothing makes a bigger impression in my book, especially when you tell them that could animal could be a human being. Hunter still talks about that today so I know I got my point across. One other bit of information to pass along is to be sure everyone involved in the hunt is properly licensed and has all the necessary tags, permits, and stamps required to participate. Check online or at the Texas Parks and Wildlife office in Beaumont for any and all questions concerning the subject. Nothing puts a damper on the hunt like a ticket.

He missed 21 games during the regular season with what the team termed “right knee discomfort.” The Houston Texans put their four-game winning streak on the line tomorrow against the Miami Dolphins on Fox’ Thursday Night Football. Quarterback Brock Osweiler returns to NRG Stadium as a starting quarterback in Houston, but this time in a Dolphins’ uniform. Kickoff is set for 7:20 p.m. Brooks Koepka won his third of 11starts at the CJ Cup at Nine Bridges in Jeju Island, South Korea moving up as the No.1 Golfer in the world. He has five PGA Tour victories, including the U.S. Open and the PGA Championship. e Tennessee Titans’ ﬁrstyear head coach Mike Vrabel is expected to get plenty of heat for deciding to go for a twopoint conversion as time expired against the Los Angeles Chargers and losing 20-19 Sunday in London. e win would

have put the Titans in a firstplace tie with the Houston Texans in the AFC South Division. JUST BETWEEN US…e two Texas National Football League franchises went the opposite way in Sunday’s action. e Houston Texans used a strong defense and took advantage of many Jacksonville mistakes to win on the road 20-7 for their fourth straight victory. As a result, Houston now leads the AFC South Division by a game. e Dallas Cowboys could be tied for first place in the NFC East Division with Washington if it wasn’t for the many miscues they made. Every time the Cowboys had a big play, it was nullified by an illegal procedure or holding. However, it was the seldom called illegalsnap on a field goal try that spelled doom for the Cowboys that moved them back five yards as Brett Maher’s 52-yard kick to tie the score in the final seconds “doinked” off the left goal post as Washington hung on for a 20-17 win. e hooking boot would have been good from 47-yards and would have sent the game into overtime.

Congrats to the Bridge City 8th Grade Red Team Lady Cardinals, undefeated district champs!!! Monday night was a great match between the Hardin-Jefferson Hawks and Bridge City Cardinals who were both 6-0 in district play before facing each other. The Lady Cardinals swept the Hawks 25-18 and 25-15 claiming the sole title of Undefeated District Champions!! Coach Wiegreffe could not have been more proud of the team work and fight the girls showed in their last game of season. Gracelon Freeman, Kristine Cervantes, Makenna Carey and Amaris Larkin were all outstanding with back row play. The Lady Cardinals had their best night of the season behind the service line. Gracleon Freeman led the team with a perfect night from the line with 15 serves with three aces. Daelyn Perry followed with nine serves and one ace and Amaris Larkin eight serves six aces! Taryn Doiron and Daelyn Perry both ran the offense beautifully with awesome assists. Doiron & Perry also led the way in hitting with six attacks each followed by Marlie Strong with four attacks. Kylie Bock, Carey & Larkin also added great plays at the net. The eighth grade Red Team finishes the season 13-2 and 7-0 in district play! Way to go Lady Cardinals!

Friends You Need Are Worth the Wait Liz Hoist Staff writer, desiringGod.org

It all started when my husband and I sensed God’s call to move away from where we were living, to a new city and a new church. The excitement, expectation, and allure of something new overshadowed the fear of the unknown. We eagerly looked forward to what God had in store for us as a family. When there were moments of doubt, we would rehearse Mark 10:29–30 to each other: “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life.” These words from Jesus helped to remind us of the promises of God to those who were faithful to his call. What About Friends? Then one day, in the midst of the excitement of selling our home, packing boxes, and looking for a new home, it hit me: I can’t pack my girlfriends into a box and move them with me. I would be lying if I said I didn’t have second thoughts at this point. These were women who watched my children, women who would sit at the park with me for hours as our children ran and played together, women who drank coffee and played Scrabble with me. These women were my friends! Did the promises found in Mark 10 apply to friends too? After all, I am a woman and I long for friendship. Did God care about the longing in my heart for close female companionship? I can honestly say that yes, God did and does care about my need for female companionship, but those friends didn’t come along right away. There was a long, lonely season after we moved. My husband traveled frequently, women at our new church

were busy, and I questioned whether I would ever have dear friends again. I remember asking God if there might be even one woman who would want to have a cup of coffee together once in a while. The answer seemed to be, “Not yet.” Oh the waiting was so hard — and yet, so worth it. When the Call Came It did feel like I waited forever. Thankfully, I had a dear friend from our previous home that, in spite of the distance, checked in with me. She was a lifeline, an ever present reminder that my friends did not have to be in the same place. To this day, we are still friends, upholding one another in prayer, rejoicing and weeping together, even drinking an occasional cup of coffee together plus getting that game of Scrabble played. That helped, but certainly didn’t feel like a longterm answer to my prayers. Then one day the call came. “Would you like to be a part of our birthday group? We don’t get together often, but we do celebrate birthdays and were just wondering if you would like to join us?” Would I like to join them? I remember holding the phone and feeling the tears drip down my cheek. Who knew that this would be the beginning of a group of women that, to this day, I drink coffee with twice a month? Such a sweet providence of God! In all of this, what have I learned about friendship? How has God encouraged me? Here are five gleanings from my season of waiting for friendship that I’ve found apply in less dramatic circumstances as well. 1. Take a Risk Many times I haven’t wanted to walk into that coffee shop, but as I walked out afterwards, I was so thankful that I did. God brings new people into our lives at just the right time. It may be a lifelong friend with whom you discover new depths, or it may just be a one-time coffee

date. Either way, God chooses to put women in our lives to enrich us, both to challenge and encourage us. Without taking that risk, we may miss some sweet fellowship. 2. Forget Age Limits Multigenerational friends are a great gift. I am thankful for all of the women in my life, whether they are my age or not. I need the insights shared with me from the younger generation as well as those more seasoned women in life. 3. Think Outside the Box We all are prone to developing set ideas about where we will find our friends. My challenge to you is this: keep your eyes and heart open. The library. School. Church. Homeschool coops. How about the grocery store or the neighborhood park? These are just a few examples of places where God has been gracious in my life to bring me dear friends. Where might he do the same for you? 4. Be a Friend Someone once said to me, “Having friends is such hard work!” That might be true, but it is so worth it. Of course, the age-old counsel is that in order to have a friend, you need to be a friend. Often we need to take the initiative to be friend-like to someone else before they are friend-like toward us; someone has to go first. And besides, the joy that comes from being a friend to someone is priceless. 5. Trust God Trusting that God has a good and perfect plan for you

in friendship is the bottom line. He has created us in such a way that we long for fellowship, so will we trust that he will provide that female companionship that we desire? I believe he will — even though it may not come when we want it or how we want it. That friend you long for may be praying for you right now, asking that God would bring a new friend into her life. Don’t despair. Trust that God will do a work in your life by supplying just the right person, or people, in his perfect timing.

Wrinkle placed 16th overall in 3A, his time of 18:04 about 50 seconds slower than winner Dalton Page of Eustace. Wrinkle was among the 10 top finishers not on medaling teams, so he qualified for state. The state meet will be held at Old Settler’s Park in Round Rock Nov. 2.

WHITE WINE CAKE Wine in a cake? Yes, it can be done! By the way, the alcohol content cooks out of the cake. It helps to make the cake moist. is is a recipe from my college days at Oklahoma State University (OSU), the Texas A&M school of Okie land. e other large university there is Oklahoma University (OU), which is the arch rival of OSU, and a lot like the University of Texas (UT) or TU as my Aggie husband calls Texas. e recipe is simple, likely for college kids who have limited cooking skills, pots and pans, money, and time.
