Ballfields battle budget for BC interest Dave Rogers

For The Record

Ballfields topped tax rates and budgets at Monday’s meeting of the Bridge City Independent School District Board of Trustees. It was a cheery superintendent Todd Lintzen announcing the district had cut a penny off its tax rate. But this came after the district provided a handout showing that even with the tax cut, taxes will still go up $117 for the average homeowner, because of a rise in taxable values and an expected 4.7 percent increase in expenditures in the proposed 2017-18 budget. In a break between a budget workshop and the start of the regular meeting, Lintzen decried the Texas Legislature’s lack of help funding public schools. In the meeting, he said a million-dollar-plus total rebuild of Bridge City’s baseball and softball complex by February is a must.

“What I don’t want to have happen is to have seniors this year who can’t play a home game Lintzen on their own high school field, because that’ll be how they remember their senior year,” he said. “We’re working real hard to make it happen. We’re still in the range of our timeline.” An agenda item for Monday’s meeting called for the board members to “authorize superintendent to plan, develop budget and timeline for the renovation of the baseball and softball complex.” Board members voted 6-0 to vote for the item, as they voted unanimously for all items on the short agenda. Trustee Rebecca Rutledge was absent Monday. But trustees never discussed aloud a time schedule for deciding when, or if, to go

ahead, or a budget. When asked after the meeting, Lintzen said the project would be paid for out of the district’s fund balance. As for a price or timeline, he

said, “That’s what they approved me to get.” Estimates provided by outsiders about the kind of work Lintzen described ranged between $1 million and $1.5

million. The Bridge City ballfields have had few, if any, improvements in the past 15 years and have poor drainage. In a long discussion about

the fields that preceded the 6-0 vote, Lintzen allowed, “We have to have demolition first, everything but the BCISD Page 3A

OC offers $135K for inmate abuse Dave Rogers

Orange County commissioners’ court voted to offer a $135,000 settlement to a lawsuit brought by a former jail inmate Tuesday. With County Judge Stephen Brint Carlton and Commissioner Barry Burton absent, the remaining three commissioners, Johnny Trahan, John Gothia and Jody Crump, voted unanimously to OK the offer in the Jerry Carthel vs. Orange County lawsuit.

County Judge Pro Tem Crump, who ran Tuesday’s meeting, said commissioners could not comment Lee until final disposition was made in court. Carthel alleges in the suit that in January 2015 former Orange County jailer Brian David Lee slammed him into the concrete floor of the jail, breaking ribs and teeth. Lee was fired by the county and found guilty of misdemeanor assault in February 2016. Carthel, who was in custody on suspicion of public intoxication, seeks payment for medical bills associated with the incident in his suit. The vote was preceded by a short closed meeting involving the commissioners, Sheriff Keith Merritt and Assistant County Attorney Doug Manning. It followed a short 25-minute open meeting full of 3-0 votes involving mostly lineitem budget transfers designed to help various county departments get through the month of September, the end of the 2016-17 fiscal year. The county paid just over $1 million worth of bills Tuesday, including a $815,000 payment to Way Services, the fifth of six installments for heating and air conditioning efficiency improvements. The $5 million Way Services deal, designed to save the county more than it costs through increased energy efficiencies, was done through bonds, which the county will pay over time.

For The Record

Matt Bryant admitted he didn’t really know Kelly Hart, president of Bridge City Youth Football, and he played for a different league growing up. But the NFL’s leading scorer in 2016 knows a good project when he hears one. And if it’s for kids, it gets Bryant’s attention. “Any time kids are involved, if I can, I try to step up,” said the former all-district linebacker for Bridge City High who is beginning

his 16th season as a kicker in the NFL. Hart contacted Bryant a few months ago when the league needed a new scoreboard for its field, which sits behind the Bridge City Little League diamonds off W. Roundbunch Road. Bryant, a father of seven who helped the Atlanta Falcons reach Super Bowl 51 last year, agreed to the donation. The league, in turn, named their home turf “Matt Bryant Field” and attached the sign below the

my hometown,” Bryant said. “And it’s always nice to look up to a nice scoreboard. “If the kids see my name up there -- even though it’s been a long time since I’ve been around there playing -- it will be a reminder that coming from a small town, that dreams can still be realized. “And, too, you don’t necessarily have to be a professional athlete. You can be whatever you want to be. MATT BRYANT Page 3A

Playful pups scamper across the indoor area filled with chew toys, balls, toddler beds.

City trustees also approved a 2017-18 budget of $22,690,623, which is up from $21 million last year. The tax rate held steady at $1.04 per $100 valuation for maintenance and operations, but decreased from 14 cents per $100 for interest and sinking fund to 13 cents per $100.

A day in the life At K9 Devine, the dogs are never left unsupervised and multiple activities are done to keep the dogs stimulated. Some favorite activities include sprinklers, fetch,

tug of war, bubbles. They also have free play and nap time. The climate-controlled indoor play area is neat and clean with not a puddle or pile to be seen.“We take the dogs outside for potty breaks every 30 minutes,so they really don’t have many accidents, And just as in any good daycare, time-outs are given for bad behavior. “Yes, we do give time-outs, and yes, they do work”. “The dogs have to sit or lie down and stay for at least a minute to calm down. If they can’t calm down, they go on a leash or in a crate for a few minutes.” The most important aspects of doggie day care, are socialization, exercise and discipline. “And of course,”she added, “I can’t leave out lots of love and affection!”

Matt Bryant Field It’s possible.” Bridge City Youth Football plays in the Southeast Texas Junior Football League, against teams from all area cities. There are six BC teams, in divisions for ages 5 through 11, with 100 football players. Nearly 50 girls are part of the league’s cheer program. When Bryant was young he played in a league that just had competition among Bridge City kids. He recalls that a baseball or softball field used to sit where the Matt Bryant Field is today. The BC youngsters open competition Saturday. Hart’s peewee team hosts Little Cypress-Mauriceville. They take off next weekend for Labor Day and then play seven more weeks of league action, with playoffs and a Super Bowl a possibility. Bryant got to last February’s Super Bowl by a circuitous route. He began at Trinity Valley College, then moved on to kick for Baylor. He needed four years after his 1998 graduation from Baylor to catch on in the NFL. The Falcons are the fifth team he has played for. But he is the most accurate field goal kicker in NFL history with more than 350 attempts. He is 42 years old, but made 34 of 37 field goals in 2016, earning his first Pro Bowl selection. And as another season begins, so too, come the inevitable questions about how much longer he’ll take on the NFL.

From Page 1

“That question comes up a bunch,” Bryant said. “It seems like the answer changes all the time, but as long as I can go out there and be competitive, I want to play. “As long as I can be successful. Right now, my con-

centration is on having another good year. After that, my contract’s up. I’ll be a free agent. “I’ll go from there.”

From The Creaux’s Nest LOCAL JUDGE VIEWS ‘COSMIC MAGIC’ Judge Hershel Stagner and his wife Debra, traveled to Hopkinsville, Kentucky on Aug. 21 to view the eclipse at the epicenter of totality. The eclipse lasted 2:41 minutes. It had been 99 years since America’s last Pacific to Atlantic total solar eclipse in 1919 and 38 years since the last such eclipse occurred in the continental United States. In 1979 this writer witnessed it but that was before almost half of Americans alive to see Monday’s eclipse were born. A nation separated by politics, threats of nuclear war from North Korea and racial violence in Charlottesville, VA. was unified by a natural event that started in the blue state of Oregon and ended about 90 minutes later, traveling at 2,000 miles per hour, in the red state of South Carolina. Judge Stagner said, “People came from all over to see day turn into night, darkness at noon.” The Judge has a cousin who lives in Hopkinsville, which was ground zero for full viewing. It was a celestial event that the Stagners had the opportunity to witness. The next total eclipse will be in 2024, ground zero for that event will be between Dallas and Waco. I may not be here with you to see it but I bet Judge Hershel and Ms. Debra will again get a front row seat when the sun again shuts down, this time in Texas, seven years from now. Some where in this issue we are running a great shot of the Total Eclipse that the Judge took. Judge Derry Dunn’s son, Dr. Mark Dunn, lives just out of Portland, Oregon where the eclipse started its journey though the U.S. Sean Gros, a Bridge City boy stationed in far northern California with the Coast Guard, was just a few miles away.*****I have a long way to go. Please hop on and come along. I promise it won’t do you no harm.

TRUMP FAMILY PUTS DRAIN ON SECRET SERVICE Secret Service Director “Tex” Alles said, “The Secret Service can no longer afford to pay hundreds of agents to protect Trumps large family and multiple residences up and down the east coast. Trump, in the past seven months has traveled almost every weekend. His adult children’s business trips and vacations have taken them across the country and overseas. Besides travel, the agency must maintain regular security at Mar-a-Lago, in Florida, Bedminister Golf Club in New Jersey and Trump Tower in Manhattan. When the President visits each place the extra coast is $3 million. Trumps adult children, Don Jr. and his family, Eric and his family and Ivanka and son-in-law Jaren Kushner and their family all have Secret Service protection. Example: Eric Trump’s business travel to Uruguay cost $100,000 just for Secret Service hotel rooms. Eric also traveled to the UK, Dominican Republic, Vancouver and Dubai. In March the agency accompanied Ivanka and family on a skiing vacation to Aspen Colorado. Tiffany Trump, youngest daughter, took vacations to Germany and Hungary with her boyfriend, which also required Secret Service protection. The agency has spent $60,000 on golf cart rental for the agents at Mar-a-Lago alone. Trump doesn’t give them a rental break on the carts. Officials had hoped that the agency’s workload would normalize after the inauguration but Trumps frequent weekend trips and his family’s business travel and higher number has made it impossible. So far, in seven months, Trump’s protection has coast as much as protecting the Obama’s for eight years. Overwork and constant travel has driven a recent exodus from the Secret Service ranks. More than 1000 agents have hit the federally mandated cap for salary and overtime allowances that was meant to last all year. Director Alles said, “We are not even able to pay agents for the work they have already done.” Secret Service demands will continue to be higher than ever throughout the Trump Administration. Talks are underway in the senate to ensure agents, who put their lives on the line everyday, will get paid fairly for their work. Many haven’t been paid for overtime. Without legislative relief at least 1,100 agents now would not be eligible for overtime. Next month, 150 foreign heads of state are expected in New York for the United Nations General Assembly. This will require a massive deployment of agents. Before Donald Trump became president he and his children all had hired security. Those folks are billionaires. It seems at least the adult children could furnish their own security. They won’t and the Secret Service gives protection to the corporate Trump business organization and Americans pay for it.

TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME 10 Years Ago-2007 Judge Carl Thibodeaux is a tough Cajun. He had back surgery last week and the doctors told him he would be out of commission for six weeks. That ain’t gonna happen, he’ll be back at the Court House next week if EMS has to bring him back and forth. *****In the last two

weeks, 53 troops have been killed. Iraqi refugees, now numbering two million, are leaving at a pace of 3,000 a day. It’s estimated that one million Iraq citizens, men, women and children, have been killed since the United States invaded. Experts predict that the invasion will end up costing U.S. taxpayers $1 trillion. The Bush surge of troops has not stopped the violence. Iraq citizens are dying at twice the rate of one year ago. Finally, Sen. John Warner, one of the most respected Republican senators, is speaking up and saying enough already. Even though he calls for a withdrawal of only 5,000 troops out of 163,000 by Christmas, it’s a start. Warner has followers that will join Democrats to force the Administration’s hand. Bush and Cheney have previously ignored all calls to bring our troops home. Just think of all the good the money and manpower could have done in our country if greed wouldn’t have gotten in some very dangerous people’s eyes. Iraq is the most failed action in our lifetime and is draining our economy and killing and wounding our young. Many come home to nothing, their families gone and everything lost. Veterans are committing suicide at an alarming rate. *****Garza, Bridge City Pioneer Dies: Gustavo ‘Gus’ Garza, 89 passed away Friday, August 24.

Her achievements reached around the globe. Editor’s note: Since then Buckshot has also passed away.)***** Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has resigned, affective Sept. 17, ending a months-long standoff with Republican and Democratic critics who called for his ouster over the Justice Department’s botched handling of FBI terror investigations and firing of eight U.S. attorneys. A longtime friend of Bush, who once considered him for appointment to the Supreme Court, Gonzales is the fourth high ranking administration official to leave since Nov. 2006. Donald Rumsfeld, an architect of the Iraq war, resigned as defense secretary one day after the Nov. elections. Paul Wolfowitz agreed in May to step down as president of the World Bank after an ethics inquiry.

Hope she’s coming this way soon, we’d like to visit with her. Also celebrating birthdays on this day are politician Sen. John McCain, 80, pop singer Paul McDonald, 32 and comedian Lenny Henry, 58.

A FEW HAPPENINGS Kree Harrison, American Idol singer, will be returning home to Bridge City. Kree will perform Sept. 2, at Texas Tavern, 2845 Texas Ave, Suite 500. The show starts at 9 p.m., no reserved seating. Kree lived in Bridge City as a child which was the home of her late mother Kathy Roberts, a Bridge City High grad.*****We en-

joyed a nice visit last week with Kate Wolfford, Buddy’s widow. She is Tommy Simar’s cousin. By the way, his lovely wife Sue brought us a couple of gallons of Muscadine grapes that I hope will turn into jelly soon.*****Trump flip flops on Afkanistan. In a televised broadcast Trump reading from a teleprompter declared that he was sending more troops to Afghanistan. That’s another sharp turn from campaign promises made at rallies and in interviews. Trump then described the war as a quagmire. He said, “We have wasted an enormous amount of blood and treasure, let’s get out now.” He said in his broadcast that he inherited a mess in Afghanistan. Not as big a mess as Obama did. Today we have 8,400 troops there. When George W. left, Obama inherited over 100,000 troops and body bags arriving daily with our young dead.***** The Wednesday Lunch Bunch dines at Robert’s this week and at Van Choate’s Tuffy’s next week where plans are being made to honor our local World II veterans. Everyone is always welcome. Great fellowship and food.*****By the first week in October former New York Yankee Derek Jeter and partner Bruce Sherman will be the new owners of the Marlins Major League baseball team. Jeter played 20 years for the Yankees and is a five time World Series champion. The Marlins need him more than ever. They are $400 million in debt and expected to lose $90 million this year. The Marlins have not produced a winning season since 2010. They have $300 million tied up in one player, Giancarlo Stanton. Other team owners are predicting Jeter will make the Miami franchise successful. He will be baseball version of Michael Jordan, owner of the Charlotte Hornets. In fact, Jordan will be a limited partner in Jeter’s group.*****We were sorry to learn of the death of Ralph Richardson, 94, who passed away Aug. 19. He was a colorful guy. Many will remember him and his brother, Tiny, as owners and musicians at B.O.’s Sparkle Club. Ralph was recognized as one of the best fiddler play ever. Service was held Sunday, Aug. 20. Please see obituary.*****Our condolences also to the family of Ruth Ellis, 94, who passed away Monday Aug. 21. She is the mother of Elaine Hearn and grandmother of D-Ray Hearn and Teressa George. No other information was available before my deadline. Arrangements are pending at Dorman Funeral Home. Please check our obituaries.*****Joe Arpaio, 85, doesn’t deserve a presidential pardon. The former Maricopa County sheriff faces up to six months in jail for willfully violating a federal court order. The sheriff, voted out of office, was famous for housing inmates in a sweltering tent city. Latinos taken into custody were abused. Hundreds of crimes, many against children, went unsolved.*****Two comedians who left their mark in totally different kinds of humor died over the weekend. Jerry Lewis, 91, died Sunday of natural causes in Los Angeles. He was a defining figure of American entertainment in the 20th century. Comedian and Civil Rights activist, Dick Gregory, 84, died Saturday. He used his humor to spread messages of social justice and nutritional health. He was the first Black standup comedian to find success with White audiences.*****Hype around the big fight between Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Conor McGregor is that lefty McGregor might land the shocker. The 29 years old faces Mayweather, 40, who is 49-0, 26 KO’s. McGregor is 21-3, 18 KO’s. The 12 round fight is on Showtime Pay for View for $89.95. My bet is Mayweather wins. Bet $400 to win $100 McGregor bet $100 to win $300. Fight time is 8 p.m. Saturday.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Sostan Breaux and Clovis Comeaux, 82 and 83, were sitting on a bench in Mary Magdalene Park, in Abbeville, jus passing da time of day under a large live oak tree, wen Comeaux said, “Me, I get da pharmacist, Bobby Guidry, to cut my Viagra pills in eight pieced him.” Sostan was puzzled, him. He axed, “Clovis, why you cut dem pills in eight pieces hanh?” Clovis answered, “Well, I jus want it to come up just enough so I won’t pee on my new patent leather shoes.”

C’EST TOUT Election time in Orange County brings nice pay raises. In the last couple of years money could not be found for raises. Today the Judge says we have plenty of money. How did we get all of that money? We didn’t find a money tree. The last three years appraisal values have gone up. That’s a good thing for all the entities, city, schools, etc. The county will tell you all those pay raises didn’t cost any tax increase but the truth is that it is costing every tax payer more, in some cases 20% more than two years ago. Since the county is flush with so much money, the right thing to have done is for once give the tax payer a break. At the rate of money the county is collecting, the right thing to do is cut the rate so tax payers would be paying the same as a couple of years ago. I’m glad for my friends who got nice raises, some $10,000 a year. Some officials are making over $100,000 a year. The tax values were up last year and this year up another $131 million. Over the past three years the county tax rate has been 54.4 cents per $100 valuation. Millions of dollars are in the bank. Working for county government has turned out to be one of the best jobs in the areas with 14 days paid holidays and up to four weeks paid vacation. When the Judge ran for office he criticized the previous administration for not having settled with the sheriff’s deputies. He said as soon as he got in office he would settle the dispute and negotiate a new contract. It has been three years now with no progress and the deputies are holding the trump card, an election coming up. Their attorney, Greg Cagle, is no dummy. He’ll wait until the election gets closer to play the card, hammering out a deal that is a big win. Carlton has to buy it if he is to keep his word to the citizens that he would settle a work agreement with the deputies. Meanwhile, tax payers could also use a break. Cut the rate back because it’s a sure bet the home owners tax bill will be higher again next year. Cut the tax rate now so the citizens don’t feel the hurt next year. It’s not enough to say “We didn’t raise your taxes,” while continuing to raise the bottom line.*****In the words of Baxter Black, “Call the dogs, put out the fire.” I’m all done here except to remind you if the storm in the Gulf comes ashore near Houston we would be on the right side and could get days of rain. Not good. I feel sorry for Pete at Coastal Landscaping, it’s been rain every day and now a storm.*****Please shop our advertisers. Tell them we sent you. Take care and God bless.

Sen. Nichols says special session success for Texas public schools

On Tuesday, the 85th Legislative, First Called Special Session came to a close after significant legislation to benefit public schools in Texas was passed. "e House and Senate came together to provide relief and necessary funding for our school districts and retired teachers," said Senator Robert Nichols. "Right before the Special, I met with superintendents, retired teachers and educators from across Senate District 3 to discuss what they wanted me to focus on during this session. e passing of House Bill 21, which I was proud to support, addresses many of their issues." After the Texas Legislature cut school property taxes by a third in 2005, the Additional State Aide for Tax Reduction (ASATR) was created to ensure school districts would not be harmed by the cuts. However, the Legislature later decided this program should end in September 2017. House Bill 21 provides a hardship grant to those schools whose budget will be most affected by the loss of ASATR for the 2018-2019 school year.

Currently, schools districts with 1,600 students or less, covering under 300 square miles, receive fewer state funds than districts with an equal number of students, spanning more than 300 square miles. This arbitrary size designation puts hundreds of school districts at a financial disadvantage. House Bill 21 begins a phase out of the penalty to ensure all small schools receive the same funding formula. Nichols has filed legislation for the past two session to do away with this punitive small schools formula. Approximately 65 of the 101 school districts within Senate District 3 will be positively affected by this formula change. "Creating an equal multiplier in the formula across the board will provide many small schools with additional funding, which will go a long way in helping to improve the education of our students," said Nichols. "Education is and always will be the most important issue the Legislature considers, and we must ensure we are helping students achieve their future goals." Funding for TRS-Care to help lower the deductibles by

Ralph Richardson, 94, Orange Ralph Richardson, 94, of Orange, passed away on August 17, 2017. Funeral services were held on Sunday at Claybar Funeral Home in Orange. Burial will follow at Cormier Cemetery in Vinton. Born in Orange, Texas, on August 12, 1923, he was the son of Steve P. Richardson and Marie RALPH (Benoit) Richardson. RICHARDSON Ralph honorably served in the United States Navy during World War II. He started out at American Bridge as a pipefitter by trade. Many people knew him as the owner of Miscellaneous Steel on Strickland in Orange. He was also a Fabrication Inspector for the State of Louisiana for 23 years. He taught himself how to play the fiddle at the age of 13 and was considered one of the best fiddlers in the country. Ralph was one of the original innovators of the western swing fiddle. To hear him play is to hear him give everything he has and to get a look into his musical genius. Music was a family affair and enjoyed by the whole Richardson clan. Bob Wills even asked him to play with the Texas Playboys, but he turned them down because of his family. You may have been lucky enough to hear him play locally, but he has actually played all over the world including Japan. Ralph was affectionately known as “TOAO” (the one and only) and was also known as the “Fiddlin’ Stud”. When he wasn’t playing music you could catch him on one of his beloved boats shrimping or working in his beautiful gardens. He was also an avid Dallas Cowboys fan. Everyone who knew and loved him will miss seeing him around in his cowboy boots and cowboy hat. He was preceded in death by his parents; his daughter, Alana LeLeux; his sister, Opal Simmons; and his brother, Tiny Richardson. He is survived by his wife, Rena Richardson of Orange; his children, Arlene Spurlock and husband, Donald of Orange, Randall Richardson and wife, Brenda of Katy, and Linda Richardson of Orange; his grandchildren, Lori, Kristie, Tracey, Alana, Tiffany, Rachel, Brittani, Cortney, William, and Alicia; his 13 great-grandchildren and his four great-great-grandchildren.

Fescos rule annual A&M Tournament COLBURN FISHING DICKIE COLBURN FOR THE RECORD

It seems that over the past two months, be it local, state or national, some group has hosted a tournament on Sabine Lake every weekend. If your favorite spot has any merit all, don’t count on getting on it on a Saturday morning. If, however, you are more into learning than catching, these are wonderful opportunities to observe and learn everything from how to best ďŹ sh productive structure to ďŹ shing dierent lures and techniques. If you keep your distance and rely on your troll motor to quietly move around rather than your big engine, you can learn a lot without having to endure that ugly glare! ere is no doubt that the reason so many circuits and organizations continue to ock to this lake is that they consistently catch ďŹ sh regardless of the weather. Mother Nature has not been overly hospitable on the majority of the past eleven Saturdays, but these guys do a great job of adjusting on the y and making their Plan B work. Easily the biggest game changer is too much wind blowing out of the wrong direction. Most of these events are “artiďŹ cial lures onlyâ€? which totally eliminates anchoring up on the ICW or in the mouth of a protected bayou and waiting out a usually dependable bite. Two weeks ago I watched a pair of pros that I know drift around in some pretty signiďŹ cant waves hoping the redďŹ sh they had been on all week would start schooling. ey had thrown a multitude of dierent lures and not caught the ďŹ rst ďŹ sh when I grew bored with their plight and checked out another area. When I returned they were still there or had left and returned as well, but either way they ďŹ nished the day with a single small slot red. “at wind had to be frustrating,â€? I remarked while helping them get their rig on the trailer. “I would have given up on that bite a lot quicker than you did.â€? In unison they announced with conviction, “ose ďŹ sh were there. We couldn’t leave. ose

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, left, and NFL Commissioner ROger Goodell have come under fire lately over a variety of hot-button topics, including violence against women and violence against game officials.

NFL, MLB commissioners face scrutiny KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

If anyone read Sunday’s edition of the Houston Chronicle’s sport section, they would have seen two articles involving NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and another story near the back of the section about MLBcommissioner Rob Manfred. Although both of these CEOs receive much more criticism than compliments, after reading both of these articles, I have to agree that several points supporting the gist of these stories have much merit. e piece about Goodell begins, “No one should hold that much untouchable, God-like power. Especially a sports league that still hasn’t ďŹ gured out how to properly protect the bodies and brains of its millionaire athletes.â€? Perhaps the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back was the six-game suspension of Dallas Cowboys’ star running back Ezekiel Elliott. Everyone has an opinion of whether the NFL was somewhat right or terribly wrong.

“e public statement issued on behalf of every NFL owner is a lie. e NFL Players Association categorically denies the accusations made in this statement. “We know the league oďŹƒce has a history of being exposed for its lack of credibility. is in another example of the NFL’s hypocrisy on display and an attempt to create a sideshow to distract from their own failings in dealing with such serious issues. ey should be ashamed for stooping to new lows.â€? e NFLPA issued that statement last Wednesday. e organization believes Goodell has been the judge, jury, appeals system and executioner for too long. e NFLPA suggests the NFL’s long-standing commissioner should be stripped of his “God-like crown.â€? When Elliott’s suspension is appealed Aug. 29, most of the facts are publicly unknown, yet much already has been decided in private, beyond closed doors, just like Deategate and Bountygate and so many other lives and careers that Goodell has impacted as his power and reach have increased, the Chronicle article pointed out. And now ESPN claims that the NFL owners are preparing to extend Goodell’s hefty contract through 2024.

On the other side of the coin, MLB umpires are wearing white wristbands during games protesting “abusive player behaviorâ€? after Detroit second baseman Ian Kinsler was ďŹ ned but not suspended for his recent tirade against umpire Angel Hernandez. e World Umpires Association said the union strongly objected to the response by the commissioner’s oďŹƒce. “e OďŹƒce of the Commissioner’s lenient treatment to abusive player behavior sends the wrong message to players and managers. It’s open season on umpires and that’s bad for the game,â€? the WUA said. “Enough is enough. Umpires will wear the wristbands until our concerns are taken seriously,â€? the union warned. MLB said it had no comment on the union’s statement. Kinsler replied, “I really don’t think too deeply into it. I hope they wear the wristbands for the rest of their careers. I don’t care. I said what I felt and what I thought. If they take offense to that, that’s their problem.â€? Last week at the owner’s meeting in Chicago, Commissioner Manfred drew a dis-

two yahoos in that walk through windshield that kept drifting around us limited and probably released a dozen more oversized fish. Now that’s what was frustrating!” It turned out that those two yahoos were drifting with live finger mullet and that is all the fish would hit. at is not all that uncommon this time of the year, but it doesn’t make it any easier to stomach when you are in a tournament and reduced to spectator status. e Beaumont A&M Club hosted their 20th silent auction and fund raising tournament to help provide scholarships last Saturday, but at the end of the day the title could have been changed to the Mike and Hunter Fesco Invitational. If you simply looked at the final stats you couldn’t really ap-

From Page 1B preciate just how good a day the Fescos enjoyed. You were only eligible to win money in one of the categories even if you had the heaviest fish in another. From a money standpoint, they still caught the right fish when they won the “12th man redfish with the most spots” category. Every year that there is no winner the pot goes up an additional $500 and no one had won it in the past five years. And, don’t think Mike’s nephew, Hunter, was just along for the ride. He won the Fesco team another $350 with his 5.23 pound flounder. ey couldn’t collect a check for every win, but take a look at their numbers. Aside from the two wins already mentioned, they addi-

tionally won first in the team flounder and team trout stringer divisions, third in the team redfish stringer division, first in the Team Texas Slam, and first and second in the individual heaviest trout category. ey didn’t just win those categories, but posted some excellent weights as well.ey were competing against 38 other teams as this year’s event attracted ten more teams than last year. Check the expiration date on your fishing license before your next trip. You can now buy them to expire twelve months from date of purchase, but not everyone does that.While looking for a tag for an oversized redfish one day last week we discovered that none of my clients had a valid license. Oops!

Kazmar tinction on remarks by players and umpires. “It is not unusual after a very competitive event for a player to say something that we don’t think is helpful over the long term. We have always dealt with those by player discipline and fines. at’s the ordinary course,” Manfred commented. “I see the umpire thing differently. Umpires have to be beyond reproach on the topic of impartiality. at’s why there are specific rules in the umpire basic agreement about public comment,” the commissioner concluded. e WUA disagrees and believes Kinsler should have been fined and suspended. ey want Manfred to have more power to make these decisions immediately. KWICKIES…It was one heck of a good weekend for the Lone Star State’s NFL teams. e Houston Texans played toe-to-toe with the world champion New England Patriots (with Tom Brady on the field) and eked out a 27-23 victory. And the Dallas Cowboys (without Ezekiel Elliott) outlasted the Indianapolis Colts 24-19. New Mexico State will have its own brand of beer to sell on campus, making them

From Page 1B only the fifth Division I school to have their own homemade brand. Several NMSU alumni are the brew masters. School officials claim the project will be a low-cost money-maker. e Katy ISD has the distinction of having the most expensive high school football stadium in the country—Legacy Stadium which seats 12.000 at a cost of $72 million. Other high-dollar facilities in Texas include McKinney ISD which is set to open in 2018 at a cost of $69.9, Allen ISD which opened its 18,000seat stadium in 2012 at a cost of $60 million, Prosper ISD recently announced plans to open a new stadium in 2019 at a cost of $48 million, Alvin ISD is planning to open a $41.5 million in 2018 and Clear Creek ISD’s 10,000-seat stadium which opened last year. e Houston Astros began a three-game series with the red-hot Washington Nationals yesterday (Tuesday) after beating the Oakland A’s two -of-three last weekend. e eight-game home stand concludes this weekend with two games against the LA Angels. e high-scoring Astros didn’t do that last weekend, winning 3-1, 3-0 and losing 3-2. Fortunately they still lead the AL West Division by a dozen

games. JUST BETWEEN US…Our local high school football teams fared well Friday night in their first scrimmages against real opponents. e Bridge City Cardinals turned their seasoned defense loose against Buna holding the Cougars to a single touchdown while scoring three TDs. e two-time defending state champion West OrangeStark Mustangs needed a late field goal by Chad Dallas to down a salty Port NechesGroves 16-14 at e Reservation. e Little Cypress-Mauriceville Battlin’ Bears turned their No. 1 offense loose against Coldspring and scored four early touchdowns and another for the victory. e Orangefield Bobcats engaged in a defensive struggle against the Shepherd Pirates, forcing several turnovers in a low-scoring, hard-hitting controlled scrimmage. All the final scrimmages take place tomorrow (ursday) with the Mustangs traveling to meet Vidor, LCM welcoming Newton, Orangefield will host Splendora and Bridge City will play Kirbyville at home. e regular season kicks off next weekend.

GAME WARDEN FIELD NOTES e following items are compiled from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement reports.

Pocketing the Evidence A Sabine County game warden was staking out an area known for illegal night hunting activity late one night when he got a call from a county sheriff's deputy about a possible road hunter he was detaining following a traffic stop. e deputy advised he observed a rifle and a spotlight inside the vehicle, but the driver denied being involved in any night hunting activity. e warden proceeded to the deputy's location a short distance away and upon questioning the driver, obtained a full confession of spotlighting for hogs from a public road. Once the warden found evidence of the illegal activities - an empty rifle cartridge casing in the subject's pocket -- he was able to make cases for hunting from a public road, hunting in closed season and discharging a firearm from a public road. e cases are pending.

The Jail is This Way In the early morning hours of July 16, a game warden was waiting at a red light in Fort Stockton when a vehicle in the cross traffic came to a stop in front of his patrol unit. As the subject got out of his vehicle

and began to approach, the warden ordered him to return to his car and get out of the roadway. e subject ignored the instructions and indicated he "just wanted directions." e warden noticed multiple signs of possible intoxication, administered field sobriety tests, which the individual failed, and subsequently made an arrest. Additional tests at the Pecos County Jail indicated the subject had a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit and was charged with DWI.

Caught and Released A game warden on patrol in Bexar County at Calaveras Lake was driving by the fish cleaning station on the lake and stopped to talk to a man cleaning a large red drum. e warden introduced himself and asked the angler what he had caught the large fish on, and he replied shrimp. After talking for a few minutes the warden asked for the man's fishing license. He said he didn't have it on him, so the warden then asked for his driver's license so he could look it up that way. After using the app on his phone and calling dispatch, the warden confirmed that the man's fishing license had expired and, therefore, he had caught the fish without a legal fishing license. e man received a citation for fishing without a valid fishing license and his fish was seized since it was caught illegally. e warden donated the 34-inch drum to a licensed fisherman at Calaveras. Citations and civil restitution are pending.

Signed, Sealed and Delivered A Van Zandt County game warden and a Smith County game warden wrapped up an investigation dating back to last hunting season regarding a group of trespassers and illegally taken deer. Acting on a tip, the game wardens made cases against five individuals who were caught trespassing and running hog dogs on a piece of property outside of Fruitvale in Van Zandt County. e primary suspect in the case gave a false name to the rancher and had put his own lock on the gate in order to gain illegal access to the property. After an extensive investigation, the wardens revealed that the primary suspect also had a feeder and hunting equipment on the adjacent property. e suspect had also illegally harvested multiple deer and was caught multiple times on camera trespassing with firearms. Multiple cases were filed for trespassing, untagged white-tailed deer, illegal means and methods, and other charges. e cases are pending.

Don't Mess With Texas A Hunt County game warden was patrolling Cedar Creek by kayak when he discovered four large trash bags of household garbage floating in the creek. He took on the unpleasant task of tearing into the bags in an attempt to collect any evidence as to who threw the garbage over a nearby bridge. With evidence in hand, the warden paid a visit to a home less than a mile away and was able to get a full confession from an 18 year old living there.

Wheeling, Dealing on the Lake As game wardens patrolling Lake Tawakoni and conducting water safety inspections approached a boat, they observed a female onboard hide something in her swim suit top. Upon questioning, she revealed a small pipe from her swim suit. Further questioning from the wardens produced a small container that was wedged between the seat and the side of the boat. e container contained three marijuana buds. At this point, the wardens boarded the suspect boat and conducted a search. ey located three bundles of cash in a compartment near the steering wheel totaling $5,453, and a soft sided cooler containing a large amount of marijuana. e owner and operator of the boat was arrested. e female passenger was issued a citation and released. Cases are pending.

Oh, Deer A Freestone County game warden received an Operation Game ief crime-stopper tip in July regarding a deer that was shot at night. He responded to the location and found one dead doe in the bed of a pick-up truck. Additionally, another quartered deer was found in a cooler under the suspect's porch. After interviewing the suspect, along with others, and consulting with the district attorney, three Class A misdemeanor warrants and a third degree felony warrant were obtained and executed. Charges include hunting deer at night, unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and waste of game. Civil restitution is pending.

They Call Him the Wanderer Game wardens in Harris County received a call about an elderly man stuck in the middle of Addicks Reservoir with night approaching. e man was located after an extensive search; he had no water and was having dizzy spells when he attempted to walk. e game wardens safely extracted him. e next morning game wardens received another call about the same individual, but now he was now lost in Barker Reservoir. e 72-year-old, who has a medical history, had spent about four hours walking around Barker Reservoir searching for his lost ATV. e game wardens were able to locate the individual again after following his tracks and hearing pistol shots. e game wardens had to cut their way through the brush to get the individual much-needed medical attention. e individual was later released by EMS, after which he received a heartfelt, but stern talking to from the game wardens about wandering off.

Falling Tide, Failing Kayakers As they entered the jetties at Matagorda, game wardens on their way back in from patrolling the Gulf of Mexico noticed an overturned kayak floating in the middle of the river channel being pulled out by the tide. Once closer, the wardens could see a woman struggling to hang on to the kayak, desperately trying to

Dove hunters preparing for opening of 2017 start OUTDOORS WEEKLY CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE FOR THE RECORD

e sleek silhouette coasted over the tree line with that familiar darting ight pattern, the volley of shots only conďŹ rmed the obvious and the dove continued on its way toward the stock tank to get a much needed drink. is scene is played out thousands of times in the state of Texas as hunters take to the ďŹ eld suering the eects of a long o season without much, if any, practice. Shooting these fast ying birds is enough of a challenge without any other interference, like most dove hunters already knows there are plenty of other things to get in the way. Now before we get the bacon, peppers, and grill ďŹ red up we need to look at a few of the obstacles and a few of the helpful hints that will make the upcoming season more productive. With less than a week to go before the north zone opener there isn’t much time to waste so let’s get going. Without a doubt the biggest challenge for local hunters when it comes to dove season is ďŹ nding real estate to hunt on. The state of Texas has plenty of public land to hunt and some of these areas hold good populations of doves if you know where to look. The only problem with public land is that you are competing with every other person who is in the same situation and those really aren’t good odds. The alternative to public land is leased property, both season and day. Now if you have spent any time in the field in this part of the world the thought of leasing land for dove hunting is about as appealing as driving down the road and emptying your wallet out the window. Quality dove leases in east Texas are about as common as unicorns so when hunters find a good one they tend to guard them fiercely. The day lease option is probably the best choice for local hunters; many reputable land owners will give a fair assessment of the dove population and make choosing a ďŹ eld a simpler task. Another one of the diďŹƒculties that face dove hunters is the heat; September is not a cool month in our neck of the woods. Both hunters and dogs need to go into the ďŹ eld prepared for some hot tempera-

Notes swim back to shore. Luckily, the kayaker was wearing a life jacket and the wardens assisted her back to the bank and later went back to recover the swamped kayak. About 20 minutes later the same circumstance took place, but this time with a tandem kayak with a man and woman who were also struggling to hang on to their overturned kayak, but were wearing their life jackets. Wardens assisted the two kayakers back to the river bank and brought their kayak back to them afterwards.

Without a doubt the biggest challenge for local hunters when it comes to dove season is finding real estate to hunt on. The state of Texas has plenty of public land to hunt and some of these areas hold good populations of doves if you know where to look. tures, and all the things that go with heat. Plenty of water is a necessity, especially for your dog because they can overheat quicker than you realize. Other nasty critters that thrive in the heat are insects such as ticks, mosquitoes and the ever popular snakes. Insect bites are one thing, snake bites are a whole dierent problem. If you plan on taking a dog in the ďŹ eld with you be prepared with a ďŹ rst aid kit, it could really be a lifesaver. Many south Texas hunters take the initiative to have their dogs “de-snakedâ€? by a professional trainer. e dogs are conditioned not to pick up snakes or get near them; the training is great insurance against a possible bad situation. Now with all the bad things that can happen and all the things that make this hunting season tough dove season is still an enjoyable experience. Dove season signiďŹ es the beginning of the new hunting season and multitudes of Texas hunters can’t wait for the opening day. e thought of heading to the ďŹ eld for an afternoon session of dove hunting with friends is one of the most enjoyable experiences hunters can have. e fellowship and conversation that takes place in a dove ďŹ eld is like nowhere else. Dove hunters don’t need to be overly quiet, super camoed, or even scent free because it really doesn’t matter. Hunters talk freely among each other and often

carry on good natured “trash talking� sessions about one another’s shooting skills. e environment is completely casual and sometimes the hunt takes a back seat to the camaraderie. Despite all the challenges that dove hunters face the sport still has a special place in many Texans hearts.

Live Oak County game wardens responded to a call about two stranded kayakers on Choke Canyon Lake. e call stated they had launched from the Calliham boat ramp just before dusk. Wardens put in at the boat ramp and began their search, but while they were searching, the stranded kayakers called in stating they had actually launched from the South Shore boat ramp but had drifted a long way. ey also stated their kayaks had sunk and they were currently in life jackets drifting in the lake. Wardens navigated to the South Shore boat ramp and, using night vision, continued their search in the direction the high winds would have likely blown the kayakers. About 800 yards from the boat ramp, one of the wardens noticed a faint glow in his night vision. Remembering the kayakers had an active cell phone with them, wardens maneuvered toward the glow and discovered the two kayakers. One of the kayakers was cramping, in extreme pain, and having a diďŹƒcult time keeping himself upright and over the waves. e

From Page 2B wardens pulled the kayakers onto the boat and safely delivered them to the ramp where EMS treated them for mild hypothermia and dehydration.

Paddlists Call for Help Aransas County game wardens responded to a call from the Aransas County Sheri 's OďŹƒce concerning a stranded person in a kayak on Copano Bay. The individual was located drifting toward an unoccupied side of the bay, having lost one of his paddles and broken the other. The illequipped paddler also did not have an adequate anchor for his inflatable kayak, but at least he had his cell phone, which enabled him to call for help. A couple days later, game wardens responded to a similar kayaker in distress call on St. Charles Bay. One individual returned to the launch location, but a second paddler could not make it back. The exhausted kayaker was located and returned to his truck ap-

proximately four miles away. Although he didn't have the strength to paddle into the winds, at least his cell phone worked.

Not All Snapper are the Same Game wardens boarded a sportďŹ shing boat near Matagorda where they found three ďŹ sherman in possession of 17 undersized juvenile red snapper. e subjects commented that they had a great day and caught tons of "mingo" snapper (mangrove) oshore. Game wardens educated the three men that the snapper in their cooler were in fact juvenile red snapper and not "mingo" snapper. Wardes clariďŹ ed the dierences of the several snapper species found in the Gulf of Mexico to the three men, showing them photos of lane, vermillion, and mangrove snapper. Cases for possession of undersized and over the daily bag limit of red snapper are pending.

2017 FOOTBALL SCHEDULES West Orange-Stark

JoAnn Sparacino and her Language Arts Class

St. Mary’s prepares for new school year Nestled in Orange, Texas, sits Saint Mary Catholic School. It is the “little school that could and did.” They figured out how they “could” make a terrific school and then they “did” it. They have a long history of producing amazing students that grow to be productive, high-caliber citizens and professionals. These are well documented facts. Not only are the graduates well educated, but they have been instilled with values and characteristics that make them honest, caring Christians. Further, Saint Mary School accepts children of all faiths and helps all children be all they can be. As the school year opened this August, Saint Mary Catholic School began its 93rd year of providing this quality education to the children in the Orange community. The school began in 1924 when a grammar school was established by Reverend Otto Bauer. It was staffed at the beginning by sisters belonging to the Dominican Order of the Sacred Heart Congregation of Houston. Later, in 1949, Reverend Joe Berberich, who was a great believer in Catholic education, expanded the school to include

Orange County Church Directory Joyce Meyers: The Secret To Defeating Fear

Let God Fight Your Battles

By Joyce Meyer Joyce Meyers Ministries JoyceMeyer.org You shall not need to fight in this battle; take your positions, stand still, and see the deliverance of the Lord [Who is] with you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Fear not nor be dismayed. Tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you. 2 Chronicles 20:17 All of us face various kinds of battles in our lives. No one escapes problems and challenges, which we often call “the storms of life.” The good news is that God already knows what He will do when we face difficulties. He has a plan to bring us victory. Second Chronicles 20 tells us that we do not need to fight our own battles because our battles belong to the Lord, not to us. All we need to do is take our positions and remain in them until our breakthroughs come. What is that position? I believe it is worshipping God. Unless we have a strong faith in God, anytime a storm comes into our lives, the first thing that happens is that we lose our peace and begin to feel fear. Our enemy, Satan, injects “what if ” thoughts into our heads, and we often

begin to think we will have the worst possible outcome. As soon as this happens, we should realize what’s going on: The enemy is trying to keep us from going forward in God’s will and experiencing His good plans for our lives. God wants us to be totally free from fear. He doesn’t want us to live in torment, and He doesn’t want fear to stop us from confidently doing what He leads us to do. When we have a deep understanding of God’s perfect, unconditional love for us, we realize He will always take care of everything that concerns us. That knowledge eventually delivers us from fear. As we gain experience with God and see that He always takes care of us and provides what we need, we begin to relax. There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection]. 1 John 4:18 God moves on our behalf when we focus on Him instead of our fears. Thoughts or feelings of fear are noth-

ing more than the enemy’s attempt to distract us from God and His will for our lives. We may feel fear at various times in our lives, but we can trust God. And if we need to do something, even though we feel afraid, we can do it. This “do it afraid” theory is something God began teaching me years ago. I saw that when He told Joshua to “fear not” (see Joshua 8:1), He was actually warning him that fear would try to stop him from moving ahead with God’s plan for his life; instead of letting fear control him, he needed to be strong and full of courage and to keep going forward. He needed to fight and win the battle against fear so he could experience the victory of fulfilling God’s plan and enjoy everything God had for him. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV When we feel fear or begin to have fearful thoughts, the first thing we should do is pray. I often say, “Pray about everything and fear nothing.” We should set ourselves to seek God until we know we have overcome our fears mentally and emotionally. As

we seek God, we are focusing on Him instead of our fears. We worship Him for Who He is and express our appreciation for the good He has done, is doing, and will continue to do. God has new opportunities and great things in store for us. To receive them, we will need to take extra steps of faith. That often means doing things we don’t feel like doing or may not even think will work. Our trust and reverence for God must be greater than what we think, want, or feel. The enemy brings all kinds of storms into our lives. He also tries to use fear in many different forms to keep us from experiencing everything God has for us. Even though we may feel fear, we need to focus our attention on God. He has a battle plan for us, and He will give us courage and faith to receive the peace, victories and blessings He has for us. If our lives are filled with plenty of praise for God’s mighty acts and worship for Who God is, we will see Him fight our battles for us and we will experience joyful victories.

Legal Notices NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF AMS DEPLOYMENT PLAN, AMS SURCHARGE, AND NON-STANDARD METERING SERVICE FEES FILED WITH THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION OF TEXAS On July 18, 2017, Entergy Texas, Inc. (“ETI�) filed an application with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (“PUC� or “Commission�) for Approval of an Advanced Metering System (“AMS�) Deployment, AMS Surcharge, and Non-Standard Metering Service Fees. The style of this application is Docket No. 47416, Application of Entergy Texas. Inc. for Approval of an Advanced Metering System (AMS) Deployment Plan, AMS Surcharge, and Non-Standard Metering Service Fees. ETI is seeking approval from the Commission for its AMS deployment plan consistent with Commission Rule 25.130. In its most recent regular session, the Texas Legislature approved Senate Bill 1145, which extended mechanisms that support deployment of AMS to ETI and directed that if ETI elects to deploy AMS, it shall deploy the network as rapidly as practicable to allow customers to better manage energy use and control costs. ETI is therefore submitting its application for Commission review and approval consistent with the support and direction of the Legislature as provided in Senate Bill 1145. ETI requests approval of an AMS Surcharge for recovery of the reasonable and necessary costs that ETI will incur under its proposed deployment plan. The proposed AMS Surcharge would be in place for twelve years. ETI’s proposed monthly AMS Surcharge rates for each rate class for the first five years of the surcharge period are as follows: Residential $3.18 Small General Service $4.79 General Service $4.74 Large General Service $4.96 Large Industrial (non-transmission only) $4.58 After the first five years of the surcharge period, and for the remainder of the surcharge period, the residential surcharge rate would be $1.73 per month and the other surcharge rates listed above would be $0.00 per month. ETI proposes that its AMS Surcharge will go into effect with the first billing cycle of January 2018. The AMS Surcharge will apply to electric service to residential customers and non-residential customers, other than those who are served at transmission voltage or take unmetered service. The costs recovered through the AMS Surcharge will be reviewed by the Commission in a reconciliation proceeding to be held in the future on a schedule to be determined by the Commission. Furthermore, ETI proposes to allow a customer to choose to receive electric service through a non-standard (non-advanced) meter and to assess fees consistent with Commission Rule 25.133 to recover the costs associated with providing the non-standard metering service from a customer who elects to have a non-standard meter. The following fees will only affect those customers that refuse installation of an advanced meter or any other retail customer who requests non-standard metering service: Non-refundable, one-time up-front fees Existing meter that meets applicable accuracy standards: $142.95 Digital, non-communicating meter requested before AMS installed: $157.05 Digital, non-communicating meter requested after AMS installed: $204.60 Recurring monthly fee: $29.71 per month Persons with questions or who want more information regarding the application may contact Entergy Texas, Inc., Attn: Customer Service – AMS Application, P.O. Box 2951, Beaumont, Texas 77704, or call 1-800-368-3749 (select option 1, then press 0, then press 4, then press 3) during normal business hours. A complete copy of the application is available for inspection at ETI’s Beaumont office located at 350 Pine Street, Beaumont, Texas 77701. Persons who wish to intervene in this proceeding or comment upon the action sought, should mail their requests to intervene or their comments (along with 10 copies of your letter) to: Public Utility Commission of Texas, Central Records, Attn: Filing Clerk, 1701 N. Congress Avenue, P.O. Box 13326, Austin, Texas 78711-3326. The proposed deadline for intervention in this proceeding is 45 days after the application was filed, and the Commission should receive a letter requesting intervention no later than that date. Further information may also be obtained by contacting the Public Utility Commission at (512) 936-7120 or (888) 782-8477.

Fun Ways to Get Kids to Enjoy Math (StatePoint) For some kids, one of the toughest parts of the back-to-school season is getting back into the swing of math class. You can help ease the transition this fall and beyond by making math a wholly integrated part of the day. Math plays a hidden role in so many aspects of daily life. By pointing out these connections in ways that are fun and engaging, you can help make math one of your child’s favorite subjects -- or at least less feared. • Bake your lesson plan: Learning fractions? Use pies and cookies to demonstrate the concept visually. It’s a tasty and fun way to learn how fractions and percentages work. • Calculator fun: Get out the calculator and help children explore patterns. First to third-graders can add or subtract the same number repeatedly. Children will observe patterns that emerge and get a better sense of arithmetic. Children can even make their own “pattern puzzles,” which are number sequences where some numbers are omitted. For example: 7,14, _, _, 35, _, 49. The activity can make addition and multiplication more comprehensible. Look for a model that will be useful for the next several years of math class, such as the fx300ES from Casio, which offers 2-line display and 240 functions. Free educational resources and activities to try on the calculator can be found at CasioEducation.com. • Money math: At home, use spare change to teach children simple addition and subtraction. Set a timer and see if they can make proper change in record time.

Ask kids to solve increasingly difficult problems, and when they answer correctly, give them the change as a reward. • Make it interdisciplinary: Leverage your children’s favorite school subjects and hobbies to pique their interest in math. If they love reading, help them select literature that celebrates math. If they find history fascinat ing, have them read about famous mathematicians and scientists who used math to make discoveries. For young athletes, there are always ways to turn that pick-up game in the park into a math lesson. Angles, distances, times and averages all figure into sports. Using these concepts in an applied way can make math more interesting. Help kids get off to a great start this back-to-school season by making math fun and engaging.
