Minor zoning change tweaks prospects for growth David Ball
For The Record
Perhaps residents who live on Granger Street in Bridge City breathed a sigh of relief after they found out what a proposed zone change would mean. The Bridge City Planning and Zoning Commission held a public meeting Tuesday night. On the agenda was to hear public comments on a proposed zone change from R-1, single family residential, to R-3, multi family residential, on two pieces of property owned by Chad Landry. They are located at 158 Granger and 160 Granger to build duplexes on the property. City manager Jerry Jones
Jones
said 11 letters were sent from the city to residents on Granger. One responded favorably to the development and two were against the de-
velopment. Resident Danny Prosperie said he owns property at 140 Granger. He’s for the development provided that it’s not governmental assistance housing. He said government housing promotes failure. For instance, if a resident’s rent is $500 a month based on their current income, and if they get a job to improve themselves, their rent will go up.
Leak roof could delay courthouse fix Dave Rogers
For The Record
An Orange County Commissioner’s hope to complete repairs to the front of the historic Orange County Courthouse before his term expires got hit with a wet rag Tuesday. The best-case timetable for the repair and reinstallation of a marble facing delivered by architect John Dineen to Barry Burton and the other four members of Commissioners’ Court at the weekly meeting would be near the end of this year. But Dineen indicated that the problem of the marble peeling off the front of the granite building, first discovered in 2016, may be caused by a water leak that could require a big fix, with a price tag to match. Commissioners agreed early on to make a line-item transfer for $16,000 to pay HDR, Dineen’s company, for its work on the Courthouse Master Plan. That Courthouse Master Plan has already set aside $175,000 -- half of the expected marble repair cost of $350,000 in a grant with the county needing to put in a matching $175,000. That match is ready to go, Burton said. Dineen said the commissioners next had to schedule a “grant orientation” meeting with the Texas Historical Commission in the next month or so. The next step would be to remove the mar-
ble, followed by 3 to 6 weeks to design the fix and 3 to 6 months to complete construction Crooks work. But Dineen revealed that architects putting together the Master Plan believe leaking water has rusted the metal attaching the marble to the courthouse exterior. “Until we remove and inspect the entire façade, we won’t know why,” Dineen said. “So you won’t know where the water’s coming in until you take the marble off,” County Judge Dean Crooks repeated. Commissioner Johnny Trahan queried Kurt Guidry, County Maintenance Director, about the age of the courthouse roof. Guidry said it had last been replaced in 2005. Guidry also said that the county’s contractor, SpawGlass, had found $17,000 worth of repairs needed to the roof that covers the District Clerk Annex. A SpawGlass representative “guesstimated” that it could cost $180,000 to replace the entire courthouse roof. Guidry sought another line-item transfer for $11,600 from “contingency emergency/disaster” to “insurance

“The lesson is don’t get a job,” Prosperie said. “The last thing I want to see happen is our property values go down because of governmental housing.” Jones said these will be duplexes and not government
housing. Furthermore, some duplexes have already been constructed on Center Street and they’re “doing really well.” Commission chair Becky Rutledge added the duplexes aren’t government assisted.
The commission also approved changing all the lots from C-3, third commercial district, off of Texas Avenue, to the existing R-3. This would include 140-190 Granger St. Jones said the city included
that entire side of the street so others can sell lots for additional duplexes can be put in. He added that the lots are too small to build a large multi family dwelling such as BRIDGE CITY Page 3A
Eyes of Texas on Cardinal catcher David Ball
For The Record
A lifetime of playing baseball is paying big dividends for Schuyler Thibodaux, Bridge City High School’s exceptional catcher. He was named to play in the Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association All-Star Class 2A-3A4A Game at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 16 at Dell Diamond in Round Rock. He will play for the South Team. He was the Defensive Player of the year for the All-District 22-4A team. On the offensive side, he hit .326 with 24 runs batted in and led the team with 11 doubles. The Cardinals, by the way, were the District 22-4A champions. Thibodaux said he found out he made the all-star team after Bridge City lost in the playoffs. He added that’s it’s an honor to be named to the all-star team, but he rather continue in the playoffs with his Cardinals teammates. “It’s exciting to go,” he said. “The last person to go for Bridge City was Chase (Shuggart who played in the all-star game a few years ago and now pitches for the University of Texas at Austin). I caught for him when I was in my freshman year.” Thibodaux has been playing ball since he was 4 years old. He’s played select ball since age 8. “It’s all I do (play baseball). I was the football team manager, though,” he said. Though Thibodaux had a great senior year, he said his best season was as a junior when he batted .450 which is a school record and he had 151 hits and 39 RBIs.To generate such impressive numbers, he spends much time in the batting cages. He also adjusts and tweaks his hitting in the cages. For example, if he hits a high pop up he’ll make adjustments with his swing to hit

Unsung cowboys recognized at upcoming Stark Museum exhibit David Ball
For The Record
Sarah Boehme, curator for the Stark Museum of Art, in Orange, believes a portion of Western history has been ignored. “There’s very few African American art ,” she said. “Estimates are one-quarter of the cowboys were African American. They were exslaves coming West for jobs as cattle raisers. They worked with animals on the plantations and knew how to do it.” For instance, Boehme was
looking for some art in the museum of African American cowboys to also display. She discovered, however, she was hard pressed to find any. The one she did find was a chalk drawing of Bob Lemons — a Texas Mustanger who wrangled wild horses. Consequently, the museum will be hosting a special exhibit, two to be precise —
“Portraits from Cowboys of Color: Photographs by Don Russell” and “Cowboy Legends and Life.” The exhibits start June 16 and run through to Sept. 29. The Russell exhibit is based on a book he published. He spent two years taking photographs of cowboys and cowgirls at predominately African Ameri-

can organized rodeos. He also took pictures of other people of color. In addition, he interviewed his subjects and included captions with the photos. He was born in Kentucky, but he now calls Texas home. The book “Cowboys of Color” is available from standard book outlets. She said he went to rodeos and he was entranced by the visual images. “This is his only Western project,” Boehme said. “He’s COWBOYS OF COLOR Page 3A

Motiva won’t expand PA plant but plans other projects in area Staff Report For The Record
Motiva Enterprises, owned by Saudi Arabia’s national oil company, is no longer considering a massive expansion at its oil refinery in Port Arthur, looking instead to buy other refineries or build a new complex, the Houston Chronicle reports. But Motiva, headquartered in Houston, said it is considering building a large petrochemical project at the Port Arthur campus or elsewhere along the U.S. Gulf Coast. That decision won’t come until next year, Motiva spokeswoman Angela Goodwin, told the Chronicle. “Final investment decisions on these projects are not expected to be made until 2019 and are dependent on strong economics, competitive incentives and regulatory support,” she added. Saudi Aramco last year became the sole owner the Motiva refinery, the largest in the United States, after buying out its partner Royal Dutch Shell.

an outsider looking in at another culture. He photographs the subjects and he communicates important stories and text. The series has great depth. They feed off of each other.” A press release read: “I’m not black. I’m not a cowboy,” Russell wrote. “These photographs are of real people. They have real lives with real joys and sorrows. The intent of this portfolio is to make visible the modern black cowboy.” He further stated few realize there is a black cowboy culture and history.
“The formal portraits taken at the Cowboys of Color Rodeos give us a window into their lives and personalities while they are pursuing their passion of the cowboy and ranching lifestyle,” he wrote. Some of the photographs are in black and white. The exhibit will display 21 of the photographs in which Boehme called, “A good representation of the works.” The portraits are recent gifts to the Stark Museum. In addition to Lemons, some other famous cowboys are Nate Love and Bill Pickett who was well known for
bulldogging in rodeos. Another is Myrtis Dightman from Crockett. He was the first African American to reach the national finals in rodeo. As much of society was at the time, rodeos were segregated and black cowboys had no opportunities to ride in them. So, African Americans formed their own rodeos. Boehme said rodeos are almost like a family for the cowboys and cowgirls. “It will be a revelation for a lot of people. We’re excited to offer these opportunities to address Western history,” she said. “Cowboy Legends and Life” exhibit offers a traditional view of romanticized aspects of cowboy life, Boehme said. The exhibit presents the theme of the Cowboy as an icon for America, according to a press release. This exhibition explores the imagery of the cowboy and cowgirl in American Western art. It will present both the idealization and the working life of men and women of the West. Paintings, sculptures, drawings, rare books and photographs from the collections of the Stark Museum of Art give a survey from the late nineteenth century through the art of today.

Baseball Coaches Association started in 1972 when a group of coaches gathered in Waco to promoted and improve high school baseball in Texas,” according to their website. “Over the past 44 years the

Texas among top in high school baseball talent The state of Texas ranks with California, Florida and Georgia for the top high school baseball talent in the country. In the MLB amateur draft, teams show a pronounced affection for high school players from those states. From 2013-18, 251 high school players were selected among the first 100 choices in the draft. That included 149 players from California, Florida, Georgia and Texas. The pattern continued in this year’s draft, which opened Monday. Some of those players and future draft choices -- including Forney’s Mason Englert, who was selected in the fourth round by the Rangers on Tuesday -- will be on display in the UIL state tournament, which begins Wednesday. Weather and population are the common thread. All four states are in the Sun Belt, which features yearround good conditions for baseball. Better weather means scouts see players more often and have a better feel for them. Because of that, “we’re probably more comfortable drafting them higher than the average kid from colder weather,” a scout with a National League club said. California, Texas and Florida are the top three states by population. The larger the pool of players, the greater

THE DEATH OF ROBERT F. KENNEDY Fifty years ago, June 5, 1968, on my birthday, Lannie Claybar, who would celebrate his birthday the next day, offered me and my family the use of his camp, located on several acres of wooded land just outside of Deweyville, on Hwy. 87. The camp was new and outfitted with all the latest appliances and furnishings. I had been stressed out, with several irons in the fire, and Lannie said, “Why don’t you take your family and go relax and spend time with them for a few days.” Being a political buff, I watched the returns of the June 4, California primary. It was the last before the Democratic Convention. After beating Eugene McCarthy, Robert Kennedy told supporters, gathered at the Ambassador Hotel, “Now it’s on to Chicago.” He left the stage around 12:15 a.m. and exited via the kitchen. A Palestinian immigrant named Sirhan Sirhan fired eight shots from a revolver hitting Kennedy three times. I was watching Lannie’s TV when the bulletin came on that he had been shot. Kennedy’s life hung in the balance. He was breathing on his own after four surgeries but 26 hours later, shortly after 2 a.m., the hospital announced that Sen. Robert Francis Kennedy had died at 1:44 a.m., June 6, 1968. He was 42 years old. This killing, like the others, John F. Kennedy and Rev. Martin Luther King, produced memorable images and moments, Robert lying wounded on the floor, the huge trackside crowds as a train carried the body from New York to Washington and the eulogy delivered by his brother Ted. Sitting at that camp on Wednesday, we learned he had been shot and on Thursday we learned he had died. Just a few weeks later we went to Los Angeles with the Rotary Club and had the opportunity to visit the ballroom and stand behind the podium Kennedy had last spoken from. I picked a souvenir from the chandelier on the wall behind where he stood. I remember exactly where I was and who I was with on Nov. 22, 1963 when JFK was killed. Now the Kennedy family would have to endure the death of another son. Robert’s wife Ethel was pregnant with their 11th child. She lay on the bed next to Bobby, as if she were dying too, until he took his last breath. Little did I suspect that the following year, on Sept. 6, 1969, my friend Lannie would also be gone.

In the early 1940’s, he served in World War II. After the war he came home and went to work for his brother Ambrose at the funeral home and with the help of Lutcher Stark, he eventually ended up buying it. At age 57, in 1969, Lannie died on the operating table at a Houston hospital. Today the stint procedure is a common occurrence. His friend Edgar Brown, Jr. had gone through the surgery and convinced Lannie, who had artery blockage, to go for the surgery. The surgeon made a fatal mistake. The Claybar family had a good lawsuit but Ms. Margie and the boys chose not to sue. Today very few people remain who knew Lannie well. Jerry Priddy, who lived at the funeral home, has some great stories. Langston Fredrick is another, also his late brother Charles and the late Jerry Wimberly, who worked for Lannie. They told stories of his great piano playing and his entertainment when there wasn’t a body in the house. Most remember him fondly. I’m one of the friends that he helped go into business. Just wanted to remember him on his birthday.*****Roseanne is guilty of watching too much Hannity. Her mind got twisted in that direction.*****Texas Republicans have stuck with him through battles on Obamacare, Russia, immigration and taxes, but they are showing increasing unease over President Trump’s push to impose costly tariffs on imported cars, trucks and commodities like steel. The business community fears Trump’s policies could reverse the economic and stock market gains Americans have enjoyed since Obama reversed the
effects of the Great Recession of 2008. Sen. John Cornyn said it could offset the consumer benefits of the GOP tax cuts.*****We were glad to learn that our friend David Harmon is doing much better and is in high spirits. David has been battling the cancer bug that has attacked his body. He’s home now and is his usual jokester self. He is undergoing chemotherapy treatment from a cancer specialist in Port Arthur. Our prayers are for his complete recovery.*****Our friend H.D. Pate is doing much better but still having leg problems. He’s not driving yet but plans to get out more in the future.*****The Wednesday Lunch Bunch will celebrate its 26th anniversary at Robert’s this week. Everyone is welcome. Next week, the Bunch will dine at Novrosky’s. Y’all come.***** A record three-pointers were made by Steph Curry in the Warriors 122-103 victory Sunday in game two of playoffs. LeBron James scored a record 51 points in game one only to lose in overtime. Facing Golden State in the NBA finals has been James’ burden the past four seasons. He has one championship to show for it. It’s the third consecutive season the Cavaliers have lost the first two games of the finals to the Warriors. If the Cavaliers have any shot of getting back into the series in game three and four, to be played in Cleveland Wednesday and Friday, James and Love will need more help. Other players shot a combined 38.5 % from the field. The Warriors have the better team but they don’t have LeBron James. I never bet against him, even with the odds stacked against him. *****Donald Trump claims he can pardon himself. If so this nation is no longer a democracy. Tuesday morning he tweeted that his attorney general, Jeff Sessions, is responsible for a special council investigation of Russian interference. The guy gets goofier every day.

C’EST TOUT Justify runs for Triple Crown
Three years ago, a large crowd at the Belmont and people around the nation held their breath while American Pharoah pulled clear from the pack of horses as he chased history for the final quarter mile. It had been 37 years since a Triple Crown winner. The grandstands shook with noise as American Pharaoh ended the decades of waiting for a Triple Crown winner. The 90,000 fans at the park and millions around the world witnessed history’s 12th Triple Crown winner. Justify, winner of the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, heads to the Belmont in Elmont New York Saturday and will attempt to become the 13th Triple Crown winner. Bob Baffert, trained both American Pharaoh and Justify. Post position will be drawn Tuesday evening at the home of the New York Mets. Nine horses are expected to challenge Justify, including Preakness runner up Bravazo and third place finisher Ten-Fold. Baffert will throw out first pitch Tuesday night at the Orioles-Mets game. NBC will carry the race.*****Thanks for your time, mine is up. Please read us cover to cover and let our advertisers know we sent you. Take care. God bless America. -

TxDOT always urges the community to be prepared for hurricane season. One way to be prepared is to have your route planned in case an evacuation is called. The 2018 evacuation map is a great resource to have on hand and shows the official evacuation routes.
Staff Report For The Record
AUSTIN – The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) wants to remind all Texans that Hurricane Season officially starts today and runs through Nov. 30. Right now is the time to put emergency plans in place, so that residents are prepared in the event of a disaster.
“With Hurricane season officially upon us and the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey still very fresh in our minds, now is the time to take important steps to protect your family and your property,” said Texas Governor Greg Abbott. “Texas is doing everything possible to get ready for this hurricane season and we are urging families to do the same. As
we saw during Hurricane Harvey, lives can be saved when we all work together and have a plan.” All Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coastal areas are subject to hurricanes and tropical storms. It is possible for a storm to severely impact our state, even prior to or without making direct landfall in Texas. Hurricanes can cause widespread dam-
age, and winds can vary from 74 to 157 miles per hour (or higher). In addition, hurricanes and tropical storms can also spawn tornadoes, create dangerous coastal water conditions, including storm surges, and cause extensive flooding damage. Additionally, the rainfall associated with a tropical system can have an extremely wide reach, so monitoring changing weather conditions during hurricane season is critically important for all Texans. “Because tropical systems can be extremely powerful and unpredictable, early preparation can mean the difference between life and death,” said DPS Director Steven McCraw. “As the 2018 hurricane season starts, we encourage Texans to prepare now to help keep their families safe should a tropical storm or hurricane hit our state this year.” Here are several measures
Gerald Langham, noted area historian, keeps busy after his retirement from Dupont as an engineer by attending Civil War Reenactments across the United States. On Wed., May 30, he presented a program to Golden K Kiwanis at the Orange Salvation Army Building entitled, “Reenacting the 1864 Red River Campaign.” Langham came dressed in authentic clothing of that era: woolen slacks, woolen jacket, cotton long-sleeved shirt, original plank shoes made by prisoners, and a traditional hat of those times. Yes, one might say he was quite warm at the end of the session from the wool. Langham told his tales about personal experiences journeying on various reenactments, especially those in
Texas, adding, “Every day was a calamity.” He continued, “We traveled 70 miles at 10 miles per day with lots of gear while wearing woolen uniforms, so it was rugged.” Photos were even taken in black and white with period cameras. The reenactors, for the most part, were in wagon trains and tried to eat period foods. Langham is currently promoting The Gettysburg 155th Anniversary National Reenactment to be held July 5, 6, 7, and 8 in Gettysburg, PA.

All-Orange County Baseball Team H Most Valuable Player
Chad Dallas - WOS Mustangs
Capt. Dickie Colburn For The Record You don’t have to know the difference in a largemouth Bass and an anvil to know that the visiting Bassmasters are generating a heap of excitement in Orange County this week. Wrapped vehicles and boats fill hotel parking lots and local fans pack restaurants Dickie Colburn and local launches for an up close view of their favorite pro. This is the third time they have fished the Sabine River out of Orange, but it will be a different ball game for the best bass fishermen in the world. The pros that chose to fish only Texas waters in the last two events will find themselves sharing that water with the entire field this week. Due to the confusion surrounding navigating posted waters in Louisiana, the Association has declared Louisiana waters off limits. The pros can fish either side of the river channel, but can no longer fish in the cuts, bayous and marshes within the Louisiana state boundaries.Aside from the fact that it will eliminate a lot of aquatic real estate, it also eliminates many acres of productive marsh as well. Taylor’s Bayou, the Neches and bass hideouts even further west will absorb a great deal of the added fishing pressure, but it’s the Sabine that has enjoyed the phenomenal increase in big bass.While anglers can weigh in twelve-inch bass for the first time, numbers alone will not produce a winner this year. At the same time, the tournament will not be over for those anglers that don’t do well the first day.They can make up ground in a hurry with the kind of fish that have been making local weigh-ins all year long! Local anglers have consistently weighed in bass in excess of nine- pounds and five fish stringers ranging from sixteen to twenty pounds have been the norm.Things have changed for the better since the pros were last here! Most of the pros that I have visited with are resting their hopes on flipping tight structure or fishing frogs over surface vegetation.That same frog and the Whopper Flopper duped some incredible bass this spring, but the lion’s share of those fish were caught in the marsh. Regardless of where they elect to fish these guys will figure it out and make every weigh-in exciting.The heat will be a factor to consider for the daily crowds, but I will not be at all surprised if they don’t break the attendance record they set at the last event. This an important economic boost for the community and a welcome diversion for folks that still haven’t completely re-

which Thibodaux did extremely well. The 2018 campaign saw Thibodaux continue his stellar play behind the plate as the anchor of the BC defense.
Perhaps no other player locally was asked to shoulder as much of the load for his team as Chad Dallas was this year. The 4 year starter for WOS and Panola signee carried his weight and then some for the young Mustangs. Dallas excelled on both the pitchers mound and at the plate as he led the Mustangs through a rebuilding year. As a true switch hitter Dallas ran through district at .410 clip while allowing only 4 earned runs on the mound.
H Pitcher of the Year
Peyton Havard - BC Cardinals In a class of very talented local pitchers it would be easy to say that BC sophomore Peyton Havard sits head and shoulders above all. Havard was dominant for the Cardinals all year long as he recorded multiple shutouts and racked up strikeouts at an eye popping clip. Havard established himself as the ace of a deep and talented Cardinal staff and was a key factor in BC’s playoff run.
H Offensive Player of the Year Logan Hamm - BC Cardinals
One of the most dangerous hitters in the area resides in BC and that would be sophomore Logan Hamm. With a great combination of speed and power Hamm wreaked havoc on opposing pitchers, especially in district play when it counted most. Hamm’s batting average in district hovered around .500 while producing runs with both his bat and his speed.
H Defensive Player of the Year Schuyler Thibodaux BC Cardinals
Every good team is built on defense and for Bridge City that all starts behind plate with All State catcher Thibodaux. For 4 years BC has had the luxury of having one of the best catchers in the state handle their pitching staff and control the oppositions run game

H Newcomer of the Year
Anthony Bandiero - LCM Bears 2018 saw a new face show up and make some great contributions to the LCM baseball program. Freshman Anthony Bandiero in his first year as a varsity player made his presence felt both on defense and at the plate. Bandiero was a consistent performer for the Bears and has a bright future ahead.
H Coach of the Year
Chad Landry- BC Cardinals Consistency is the hallmark of a great program and Chad Landry has done exactly that since becoming the skipper at BC. Once again Landry captured a district title and made another good playoff run while balancing a team that seemed to be heavy on underclassmen. During the 2018 season Coach Landry eclipsed the 300 career win milestone and looks to improve on that mark next season.

Redfish are no longer “second class” citizens Capt. Chuck Uzzle For The Record

I have seen anredfish strikes, especially on glers leave birds working a top water plug because that over speckled trout to is chaos in action. chase redfish blowing holes
To give you an idea about how much popularity the redfish has gained all you need to do is take a look at the tournament circuits devoted to catching redfish, speckled trout never came close to gathering this much attention or for that matter this much money. The redfish is easily the best candidate for tournaments, the
in schools of shad, I can’t blame them either. To see a herd of center consoles leave a school of trout in hot pursuit of a bunch of surfacing redfish makes you wonder about all that love these anglers profess to have for speckled trout. Right now is one of the best times of the year to catch these copper colored bruisers, they can be
found almost anywhere in our bay system and way up the rivers in fresh water as well. Redfish can be targeted on the flats, in the marsh, in deep water near the channels, or out in the open water of the lake. Redfish make themselves available to all anglers because they are not picky about what they eat and that plays into every angler’s hands. A favorite method of local fishermen is to throw live shad around the drop offs in the river on a Carolina rig, this technique works good especially if the wind is up and the lake gets to be off limits. To catch redfish like this you need some tide flow and some sort of structure, a point or flat adjacent to the deeper water is textbook. Another way to catch these hard fighting fish is to sight cast to them as they hunt for food in the shallows. Areas like Keith Lake and Bessie Heights are excellent places to spot and stalk tailing redfish, the opportunity to see the fish before you catch it is a double shot of excitement that has to be one of the biggest thrills in fishing. Now as written earlier most anglers are waiting for the redfish to really start schooling in the open lake, when this happens all you basically need to do is be in the right place and be able to hit the water with your cast because the redfish will do the rest. Top water, soft plastic, or the Orange phone book, it does not matter what you throw when these fish are really eating because they will flat out destroy your offering. One word of advice, when you come upon this situation go to a lure that has a single hook because it’s much easier to unhook a fish and get back into the action. It’s also easier to unhook your fishing buddy if the chaos gets too great, and believe me the chaos will be great. From now until the winter you could possibly encounter a big school of redfish in the lake so be on the lookout, birds sitting on the water, big
slicks, or just really nervous water could be your key to some non stop action. Also remember that just because the fish aren’t on the surface they could still be around. Many times the fish will school on the surface for a while and then they will lose the bait, the shad or shrimp will bust up and the school breaks up as well. At this point many anglers will leave the area; this is a mistake because these fish will come back up on top if you just be patient. Hopefully the activity will get cranked up soon and turn into a daily pattern, I know plenty of speckled trout lovers who are anxiously awaiting the return of the redfish.

Will Minor League’s extra-innings work in Majors? Capt. Dickie Colburn For The Record When can a pitcher throw one pitch to start an extra inning professional baseball game and be the losing pitcher WITHOUT surrendering a home run? Sounds kind of confusing doesn’t it? First of all, the pro game must be in the minor Joe Kazmar leagues. Secondly, the score must be tied and the game be in extra innings with the home team at bat. And last but not least, the situation of the reliever losing the game by throwing only ONE pitch without giving up a home run falls under the brand-new rule being tested in the minor leagues this season. If a game is tied after nine innings, the player making the final out for the visiting team in the top of the ninth inning becomes a baserunner at second base BEFORE a pitch is thrown in the top of the tenth inning. At the MLB Winter Meeting the owners thought this might be a way of keeping the games as quick as possible and not having to use as many pitchers from the bullpen, but several both major and minor league managers balked at the idea, according to an article in the latest edition of the USA Today Sports Weekly. This new rule will probably will be described as funny, preposterous and even worthless—a further dumbing down of the game. But many owners see the new rule as exciting, beneficial and making progress. What began as light discussion at a meeting of major league general managers last fall and later included farm directors and player development executives became quasi law. “And you can bet with the increased reliance of bullpens in the majors, teams want to make sure there are fresh arms in the minors to call up, not arms worn out by 14-inning minor league games the night before,” the article points out because Major League Baseball oversees minor league baseball. The runner who starts at second base and scores is an unearned run. If there is no
more scoring in the game, that pitcher is charged with the loss and the opposing pitcher will get credited with the mound victory. “MLB has the wind at its back given the number of adjustments it has made the last several years to speed up the game and appease restless fans, which include ensuring batters are staying in the batter’s box, placing a timer between innings and on pitching changes and regulating mound visits,” the article continues. One of the big reasons Minor League Baseball went along with the extra-inning
and ended just as baseball executives didn’t want it to end—a position player on the mound for the Stripers because the bullpen was exhausted,” the article explains. “So far it hasn’t solved any issues,” Gwinnett manager Damon Berryhill said May 8. “We have been in four extra-inning games and we’ve gone 12 innings twice and 13 and 14. It hasn’t sped up our games at all. “I think the reason they wanted to do was save some pitching, but it’s worked the opposite for us and created more of a problem where we end up burning more of our bullpen,” the manager concluded. The article surmised that the extra-inning rule adds a level of intrigue to the game. The knowledgeable baseball fan can play along and second-guess the manager to his or her heart’s content. Will this rule ever be adopted by the major leagues? You be the judge!! KWICKIES…

procedural change likely had to do with money. Beer taps are shut off by the seventh inning in some ball parks and concession sales wane. But there still are hourly employees—ushers, scoreboard operators and security--that have to be paid. “Absolutely you can lose money if a game goes too long,” said North Johnson, the general manager of the Gwinnett Strippers, the Class AAA team of the Atlanta Braves. Another factor minor leagues accepted the new rule was that there are more children at minor league games than big-league games, so getting kids home early is important. Getting to the fireworks show on Friday or Saturday is especially important. A game dragging to the 14th inning creates restless 7-year-olds. The extra-inning rule does not necessarily cut the game short and save arms, according to the USA Today Magazine article. “In the Gwinnett Stripers’ home opener against Rochester, the game went 14 innings

This event is exciting enough to even keep local saltwater fishermen off the water for the weekend, but the catching has been slowly improving.The heat and afternoon winds can temper your enthusiasm, but the water has cleared up some and the bite has gotten a little more consistent. By far the best bite has been the product of fishing live or fresh bait both on the bottom and under a popping cork. We’ve caught just enough trout on tails and swim baits to assure us that they are still around, but its decent one day andterrible for two! At least for us, the ship channel has provided the most consistent bite for small keeper trout and a few slot reds.Our crank bait bite slowed a little this week, but four inch Assassins and Mirrolure Lil’ Johns bounced off the bottom in 8 to 12 feet of water on an outgoing tide wasn’t a bad Plan B.

I hope he’s not as despised by many fans like his grandfather was. The Jasper Bulldogs earned a trip to the Class 4A state baseball tournament by posting back-to-back wins over Salado Saturday. The ‘Dogs (34-7-1) play undefeated Argyle (35-0) 1 p.m. today at Disch-Falk Field in Austin where the temperature on the artificial-surfaced field will be well over 100 degrees. Jasper is the last Southeast Texas high school baseball team still eligible for the state title, which was won by Liberty’s softball team last weekend. Kirbyville was eliminated in the Class 3A regional finals by Clifton Saturday 2-0. Former SMU star golfer Bryson DeChambeau defeated Byeong Hun An on the second playoff hole Sunday to capture the prestigious PGA Tour Memorial Tournament hosted by Jack Nicklaus Sunday by rolling in a 12-foot birdie putt. The victory—DeChambeau’s second—earned the 24-year
old $1,602,000. And a bit closer to home, former West Orange-Stark star golfer Michael Arnaud earned $9,425 by finishing six shots behind winner Joey Garber at the Web.com Rex Hospital Open last weekend. If LeBron James is going to show his magic one more time he had better hurry starting tonight as the NBA Finals switch to Cleveland today and Friday. The Golden State Warriors blew out the Cavaliers in both games at Oakland last week. The Houston Astros end their run of playoff-bound teams when they host firstplace Seattle tonight at Minute Maid Park in Houston. The Astros just finished series with the first place (AL Central) Cleveland Indians, first-place (AL East) New York Yankees, second place by 1/2-game (AL East) Boston Red Sox and first place Seattle (AL West). Houston played .500 ball against those behemoths but it cost them first place in the AL West as the Mariners came to Houston yesterday after winning eight of 10 games. JUST BETWEEN US… Our grandson Logan Smith was confronted with a huge dilemma, two days before Army West Point was to play its firstround game in the NCAA Regional Tournament at Raleigh, N.C. His paternal grandfather Wayne Smith died suddenly and Logan had to decide whether to fly home to be with his family or stay for the tournament with his teammates—also his “family”. He decided his grandpa would have wanted him to play so he did. Fourth-seeded Army upset hosting and No. 1-seeded North Carolina State 5-1 Friday. Logan, who is the Black Knights’ closer warmed up in the ninth inning but was not needed. The rest of the tourney for Army went as expected— Army lost to Auburn 12-1 in the second round of the winner’s bracket and then N.C. State avenged their early loss by eliminating Army 11-1. There certainly wasn’t the need for a closer in either of those games, either. But Logan was part of something that most baseball players—even most college players—will never experience—playing in the NCAA Regional Tournament!!
Eagles go to practice after White House visit cancelled Staff Report For The Record
Their invitation to the White House rescinded, the Philadelphia Eagles have decided to return to the practice field Tuesday, USA Today reports. The reigning Super Bowl champions had planned to send a delegation to Washington to celebrate their first Lombardi Trophy until Pres-
ident Trump canceled the event Monday evening. Some Eagles players, namely safety Malcolm Jenkins and defensive end Chris Long, had long telegraphed their plans to skip the meeting with Trump and instead do charitable work around D.C. — activities that have also been removed from the schedule. “Our union is disappointed in the decision by the White House to disinvite
players from the Philadelphia Eagles from being recognized and celebrated by all Americans for their accomplishment,” the NFL Players Association, which is based in the nation’s capital, said in a statement. “This decision by the White House has led to the cancellation of several player-led community service events for young people in the Washington, DC area. “NFL players love their

The Eagles will conduct a mandatory minicamp June 12-14, the final time the team will convene until training camp in late July.

Ruth Annie Polley, 93 West Orange Ruth Annie Polley passed away peacefully at her home in West Orange on June 5, 2018. Funeral services will be 11:00 AM on Friday June 8, 2018 at First Baptist Church in Orange. Visitation will be at the same location beginning at 9:00. Officiating will be Reverend Barry Bradley of First Baptist. Burial will follow at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens near Bridge City. Ruth was born on December 28, 1924 near Kaplan, LA to Emanuel and Annie (Harper) Foreman. Following the death of Ruth’s mother in 1935, the family moved to Abbeville, where Ruth graduated from high school in 1942. In the same year, Ruth moved to Orange, TX. There, she worked at Prince’s grocery store, where she met Chester Delton Polley, whom she married on May 22, 1943. For the next twenty-four years, Ruth was a home maker and served in various capacities in the West Orange PTA, including multiple terms as president. After her daughter Verna Jewell graduated from college, Ruth enrolled in LVN training in 1967 at Orange Memorial (later Baptist Hospital - Orange) where she began her second career, eventually going back to school at Lamar University to become a registered nurse. She worked as an
intensive care nurse until her retirement from BHO in 1997 at age 72. Following the death of her beloved husband Chester in 1992, Ruth lived independently in her home until the last few months of her life. She was an active member of First Baptist Church in Orange and a regular volunteer there until her final illness. To know her was to be inspired by her strength, dignity, and self-sacrifice. She will be sorely missed. Ruth was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; and siblings Harold, Bill, Violet (Sis), Edna, Lena, Thelma, and Clifford (Toter). She is survived by daughters Verna Jewell Davidson (and Leon Hankins) and Pat Lund (and Rodney); grandchildren Matthew and Gregory Davidson, Randy Spurlock, Pam Wilson, and Ted Spurlock; as well as numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and cherished friends who may as well be family. The family wishes to express gratitude to the staff at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont, the Meadows Nursing Home, and Southeast Texas Hospice for the care given in Ruth’s final months.

Texans have many reasons to be proud of the Lone Star state, but for nine different regions around the state, air quality is not one of them. The Texas Department of Transportation’s Drive Clean Texas campaign wants to change that. The campaign wants motorists to take pride in keeping the air clean during the hottest time of year when slow wind speeds and hot, sunny days create conditions where harmful ground-level ozone can form — aided by vehicle tailpipe emissions. “As Texans, we take tremendous pride in our state — its history, unique cultures and wide open spaces,” said TxDOT Executive Director James Bass. “Some might say we live and breathe Texas. Drive Clean Texas is asking drivers to protect the air we value so much by doing their part to reduce the harmful vehicle emissions that are released into our beautiful Texas skies.” While ozone pollution decreased statewide by 29 percent from 2000 to 2014, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, summertime ozone levels remain a concern with vehicle emissions making up half of all air pollution in some areas of the state. Drive Clean Texas asks drivers to help protect the state’s air quality by following a few simple tips: • Keep vehicles well-maintained and inflate tires to recommended air pressure levels • Properly fuel vehicles by tightly sealing the gas cap
• Stop at the click when fueling your vehicle. Overfilling the tank releases harmful fumes into the air. • Avoid idling the vehicle for extended periods of time • Avoid aggressive driving with rapid starts and stops Under standards set in the Clean Air Act, three areas in Texas — Houston/Galveston, Dallas/Fort Worth and El Paso — do not meet federal clean air standards, and six additional areas — Austin, San Antonio, Victoria, Tyler/ Longview, Beaumont/Port Arthur and Corpus Christi — are at risk of exceeding healthy levels of air pollutants. Contaminated air does not just stay in these areas, however, it travels across the state, so it’s important for all motorists to take steps to reduce vehicle emissions, especially in the hot summer. The campaign’s statewide Live & Breath Texas Road Tour will make stops in Texas cities throughout the summer. The tour features the Drive Clean Texas Road Trip game, a fun, interactive way to learn about reducing harmful vehicle emissions. Each time a participant selects the wrong answer, a puff of smoke — representing vehicle emissions — is released into a giant, clear-sided container encasing a sports car. In partnership with iHeartMedia, participants who play the game will be eligible to win a $5,000 customized Texas road trip donated by iHeart. This could include stays in popular Texas destinations, including tours, meals and accommodations plus prepaid vehicle maintenance gift cards to
keep his or her vehicle in drive-clean condition. To learn more about “Drive Clean Texas,” visit drivecleantexas.org.

My Five Cents... O
n June 14th, we will commemorate the adoption of our country’s flag with 13 stars and stripes to represent our nation and our founding colonies. With 50 stars in our current flag, our pride for our country stays strong. Here are five things happening around your state this month: 1. Protecting Our Students After the tragic shooting at Santa Fe High School, Governor Greg Abbott held multiple roundtable discussions which included survivors from the Santa Fe and Sutherland Springs shootings, lawmakers, community leaders, law enforcement, educators, as well as gun rights and gun control activists. The purpose of these discussions was to determine the most effective ways the State can help prevent future mass shootings. From these meetings, Governor Abbott has released a 40 strategy plan for preventing future school shootings. These strategies include expanding the existing School Marshal Program, which allows school districts, private schools and junior colleges to appoint a school marshal for their schools. The school marshals must go through extensive training before serving. Other proposals include increasing mental health training, improving the infrastructure and design of Texas schools to reduce security threats, and raising the age at which parents are responsible when their children have access to loaded weapons. To read and learn more about this plan you can visit https://gov. texas.gov/. 2. Tax Amnesty Program Comptroller Glenn Hegar has announced the Texas Tax Amnesty Program which is operating until June 29, 2018. All state and local taxes and fees the Comptroller’s office administers are eligible. This does not include property taxes or sports and community venue taxes. The participants of this program are offered an opportunity to “wipe the slate clean” by filing past due reports, register for taxes that should have been reported or amend reports that may have underreported taxes, without paying penalties or interest. To find out more information about this program you can visit www.comptroller.texas. gov/tax-amnesty or call the Comptrollers office at 800-252-1390. 3. Sunset Hearing Recently, the Texas Sunset Commission held a hearing to discuss reports regarding the Texas Military Department, Department of Public Safety, Department of Motor Vehicles, various finance agencies including the Texas Department of Banking and Finance

Sen. Robert Nichols
Commission, as well as three of the river authorities in Texas. The Commission, which is the only legislative body which votes on items during the interim, also voted on recommendations for agencies including the state’s Behavioral Health Boards, Texas Veterans Commission and Texas Historical Commission. These recommendations will become bills and must pass during the upcoming legislative session to ensure these agencies are continued. 4. Nominations for Historical Awards Texas history is full of men and women who accomplished great things for our state. The Texas Historical Commission (THC) continues to honor those who strive to preserve the history and heritage of Texas for future generations through their 2018 THC Preservation Awards. They are currently accepting nominations for 11 different awards ranging in areas from leadership, volunteerism, museums, archeology, and preserving history. You can find out more information about these awards at www.thc.texas. gov/awards and submissions are due July 13, 2018. Winners will be presented with their awards at the THC’s Real Places Conference in January 2019. If you know of someone who has made a contribution to preserving Texas history, I encourage you to nominate them.
Not even Mother Nature could stop this Texas-sized party as Poison, featuring, from left to right, Bret Michaels, Rikki Rockett and Bobby Dall, rocked thousands of fans for 75-minutes on Sunday, June 3, 2018, in The Woodlands. Through wind gusts of 40 mph, rain and enough lightning to force those on the lawn hill to join their fellow rockers under the pavilion for a gathering of friends, Poison delivered hit after hit with tunes such as “I Want Action,” “Talk Dirty to Me,” and more, and still left the crowd wanting more. Here’s hoping the band hits the road in 2019 for another trek across the U.S. RECORD PHOTO: Tommy Mann Jr.
5. Where to Visit in Texas School is now out and many of you may be planning vacations for the summer. Texas is full of places to visit that can meet anyone’s interest including beaches, arts and culture, food and drink, history, outside adventures and much more. I wanted to give you some tips on what you can do in our state. To start, you can visit the Texas Travel Guide online at www.traveltex.com, which is a compilation of attractions, events and places to stay all across the state, including your Texas State Capitol. I encourage you to visit your Senate District 3 office. If I am not there to greet you, my staff would be happy to meet with you. If you are looking for more of an outdoor adventure, you can visit one of the four Texas state parks located in Senate District 3: Mission Tejas State Park (Houston County); Lake Livingston State Park (Polk County); Martin Dies, Jr. State Park (Jasper County); and Village Creek State Park (Hardin County). You can find more information about these and all state parks in the state by visiting https:// tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/.
Night Ranger, celebrating over 35 years as a band, and featuring members, from left to right, Keri Kelli, Brad Gillis and Jack Blades, delivered an extremely entertaining 85-minute set of music at the Golden Nugget Casino in Lake Charles this past Saturday, which featured hit songs such as “Sister Christian,” “You Can Still Rock in America,” “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me” and “Sentimental Street,” as well as some rare gems and even Damn Yankees tunes “Coming of Age” and “High Enough.” More rock is on tap at the casino this Friday with Queensryche and Skid Row.

You Are Who God Says You Are upon your feet. God isn’t so cheaply sentimental as to forget all your crimes, but he is so loving as to sacrifice himself for all of them.
I Am a Child of God
Article by Greg Morse Content strategist desiringGod.org While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. (Luke 15:20)
He sat alone with pigs. Not long ago, he dressed in fine clothing, drank the finest wine, and laughed with what he called his friends. He smiled at women who smiled back, before he learned that friends could be bought and love could be rented. When the money was gone, so were they. When he needed them, they gave him nothing (Luke 15:16). Now, he sat covered in mud. If you would have joked that he, a Jew, would be working as a pig-feeder, he would have said he preferred death first. But here he was, envious of what the unclean swine ate. He wondered how much longer he could take it. He missed home. He grimaced. How shamefully he had treated his father. He asked for his inheritance before his father died — slapping him in pursuit of his pleasures. As he saw his father’s house disappear upon the horizon, he had smiled. He thought he was heading into freedom, into joy, into pleasure. Now, he lived to feed pigs. He reasoned,
“How many of my father’s hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger!” (Luke 15:17).
A Son Appears on the Horizon There it was, just as he had left it. He rehearses his lines in his mind, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants” (Luke 15:18–19). But as doubts begin to cloud his mind, a figure appears from the house. There his father is, just as he had left him. But something happens that he doesn’t expect: his father begins to run to him. Had he ever seen his father run? He always composed himself with such dignity, but here he is, an elderly Jewish man, running to him. Is he coming to chase me away? The wayward son braces himself for a slap but receives an embrace. He expects banishment but is met with kisses. His mumbling apology and thoughts of unworthiness are swallowed up by the love of a Father who will not call his starving son a servant. A ring is placed on his finger; the best robe is placed upon his back. Sandals adorn his dirty feet. The fattened calf is slaughtered, and the cele-
bration begins. The son who was dead, has come alive again; he was lost, and is found (Luke 15:24). Life is where this Father is.
A Son Died on the Horizon You may wonder, given all your past and remaining sin, Who am I that the highest King would welcome me? You recite your unworthiness to yourself, you sit in the pigsty of an old sin, and not only wonder how you got there, but how your King can receive you. The answer is not found in your inherent worthwhileness, nor in God’s neediness for you. You are celebrated, crowned, kissed, and loved because your true elder brother, the one who does not moan when you are welcomed home, went into the city after you and paid off your debts with his own life. He suffered for our sin, and purchased our acceptance. The ring you wear is his. The best robe that now covers you is his. His sandals, which John the Baptist was unworthy to untie, now rest
If you have been reborn, if you are repenting of your sin and believing the gospel, you are a child of God. And this status comes with authority: “To all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave authority to become children of God, who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” (John 1:12–13). You may not feel particularly childlike, you may not be enjoying his word every morning, but do not let the Liar convince you that you are not a child of the King. The question can never be, “Who are you to go to God in prayer?” The question now is, “Who are you to stay away when the King has invited you?” You are chosen, not forsaken. You are free, not a slave. He is for you, not against you. You are his child, not an orphan. That is who you are. Because that is who he says you are. And that is who he died for you to become. He loves you. He embraces you. He crowns you. Never settle for living in the mud, feeding pigs. Greg Morse is a content strategist for desiringGod. org and graduate of Bethlehem College & Seminary. He and his wife, Abigail, live in St. Paul.

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