County’s Drainage Hotline up and running If Orange County citizens know which agency is responsible for stormwater drainage on their property, they are asked to call that agency.

“This is for citizens who are unsure of which entity to call.”

So far, only the county and the Orange County Drainage District are coordinating the effort, but Crooks says he is hopeful cities in the county will sign on as well.

Problems reported to the Drainage Hotline will be passed on to the proper ju-

risdictions, Crooks said at an August press conference that also included Don Carona, general manager of the OC Drainage District, and Clark Slacum, county engineer.

Slacum and Lisa Reeves, county MIS director, worked together to get the perfect

voice-to-text software so voice mails left on the Drainage Hotline will generate an email at any time of any day.

The emails will be routed to the proper agency. The calls will also establish a database COUNTY Page 3A

The best news at Tuesday’s meeting of Orange County Commissioners was that all the attention to improving drainage the past few months seems to be working.

But if this week’s “rain event” of between 6 and 11 inches didn’t drain where you are, the county has a new response.

The Drainage Hotline went online Tuesday at 409745-9730.

It is intended to help property owners unsure of which of the various entities – cities, the county, or drainage districts – to call with their drainage problems.

“This isn’t intended to replace any existing system.

It’s just one more tool,” County Judge Dean Crooks said.

BC alumni, AD seek old grad info Larry Johnson For The Record

The Bridge City Alumni website wants to spotlight BCHS grads and generate interest in the school and its alumni members.

Frank Scales is heading up the project and Charlotte Chiasson will coordinate and write the articles featuring persons nominated.

Names and information should be sent to either memelovesall4@outlook.com (Charlotte) or fscales@frankscalescrestive. com (Frank).

The plan is to share one or two articles a month. Those nominated may be any BCHS alum, faculty or staff member from any class year.

Also, BC’s new athletic director, Allen DeShazo, is seeking photos of former Cardinal athletes who went on to play sports in high school or professionally.

DeShazo says many of the school’s athletic locker

rooms already include a “Wall of Fame” for their top alums but not football.

“We are trying to keep traditions rich with our current athletes by showing them the past success stories of athletes from their hometown,” the coach said. “We are by no means demeaning the past athletes who have played other sports at Bridge City.”

DeShazo is asking any past college athletes in any sport to send their names and photos to Bridge City High School Athletic Department, 2690 Texas Avenue, Bridge City, 77630.

The athletic director also revealed that Alexus Henry, a former state champion high jumper for Bridge City who won the NCAA women’s high jump last spring, will have her Cardinal uniform retired at the homecoming game, Oct. 12.

BC alums will meet Thursday, Sept. 6 at 5 p.m. at the BCHS counselors’ conference room.

FOOTBALL IS BACK!

The famed span across the Neches River that would become the Rainbow Bridge is shown during construction in this 1937 photograph. A marvel of it’s time, it remains an important and vital transportation link between Orange and Jefferson Counties.

When you look back, it’s amazing that the Rainbow Bridge was completed in under three years. It was naming the darn thing that took forever.

It began as a solution for clogged roads caused by Dryden Ferry traffic. Seventy years later, it still has the tallest vertical span in Texas (177 feet).

It cost $3 million, and the lives of many who worked on it.

The Rainbow Bridge did more than change the landscape, it united Orange County with Port Arthur.

It also served northbound and southbound traffic until 1991, when its neighbor the Veterans Memorial Bridge helped split the load.

Jefferson County Commissioners, along with the Port Arthur Jaycees and Rotary clubs wanted to call it “The Port Arthur Bridge.”

Some in Orange and Beaumont favored the original designation of “Neches River Bridge,” and Orange County Commissioners liked “The Port Arthur-Orange Bridge.”

In one heated meeting, Jefferson County Commissioner H.O. Mills threw off his glasses and said everyone was, “… acting like a bunch of kids.” Jefferson commissioners eventually decided on “Port ArthurOrange.” Then in 1957, the North Port Arthur Lions Club sponsored a contest to name the 19-year-old bridge.

tries listed “Rainbow Bridge,” however, the earliest postmarked was by 6-year-old Christy McClintock of Port Arthur.

Her grandfather helped her fill out the form. She won a $50 Savings Bond. Her reason, she told reporters at the time, was that the bridge was physically shaped like a rainbow.

At the time of construction in the mid ‘30s, its vertical span was designed with the tallest Naval ship in mind, the USS Patoka, which ironically never sailed the Neches. The ship was decommissioned and sold to a steel company for scrap in 1948. Although the span is dwarfed by San

Francisco’s Oakland Bridge (at 218 feet), the Rainbow is 40-feet higher than the Huey P. Long Bridge across the Mississippi, and outreaches the 155-foot clearance of the George Washington Bridge across the Hudson River. It was built to withstand 130-mile hurricane-force winds.

The bridge’s dedication in 1938 saw speeches, barbecue, dancing and fireworks, even a sailboat regatta on the Neches. And of course, a rodeo. According to Port Arthur News archives at the Bridge City Chamber of Commerce (compiled by former chamber vice president Charlotte Chiasson and Joyce Darling), the idea

began in the late ‘20s to fix a growing problem with the increasingly unreliable ferry. Residents in Orange and Port Arthur got to thinking, “If Beaumont can have a bridge, why can’t we?”

The proposal had its naysayers, mostly in Beaumont; and in fact, several bond issues which could have funded the bridge which passed in Port Arthur, still lost because of high negative numbers from Beaumont precincts. Proponents included officials in Orange, Galveston and Lake Charles. Finally in the early ‘30s, after much legal wrangling, Gov. “Ma” Ferguson signed a bill that allowed Jefferson County to contribute, along with state and federal funds, to what was being called “The Dryden Tunnel.”

In October, 1935, state engineer G.G. Wickline, a University of Texas graduate, was appointed to supervise the project. Working under him was fellow UT graduate P.V. Pennybacker.

Wickline named as consulting engineers Ashe, Howard, Needles and Tammen, at the time one of the four largest firms in the country and working on a $2 million span in Omaha and a $42 million span in Newark, N.J. In November, hourly wages were announced: $1.25 for mechanics, $1 for crane operators, hoisting engineers and carpenters; 50 cents for riggers, pumpmen and blacksmiths; and $4 to $4.50 for the infamous “Sand Hogs” who would RAINBOW BRIDGE Page 3A

SE Texas R.A.I.N. launched to alert residents of weather hazzards

Staff Report For The Record

Southeast Texas Regional Alerting & Information Network (SE TEXAS R.A.I.N.) is a consolidated list of river and reservoir gaging stations and hydrologic forecasts for the five-county Southeast Texas area.

The launch of www.setexasrain.org provides access to user-friendly information and data to help residents throughout Southeast Texas when making necessary and timely decisions during threatening weather conditions.

After the torrential floods brought on by Hurricane Harvey in 2017 our state legislators in the Senate and House committee hearings requested improved public access to critical information during adverse weather conditions. Judges within a local five-county region responded to the call for action by forming a coalition to identify the necessary components

that would best serve residents. County Judges from Hardin, Jasper, Jefferson, Newton and Orange Counties working together with other area organizations pri-

James White and State Representative Dade Phelan in attendance as well as officials and emergency management coordinators from all five participating coun-

“It’s extremely important in emergency situations for people to know what’s going on.

This website gives everyone direct access to what’s happening where they live, whether they are there or away from home.”

State Senator Robert Nichols oritized a list of required information that would assist residents and emergency management personnel.

The formal introduction of SE TEXAS R.A.I.N. was launched earlier this month with State Senator Robert Nichols, State Representative

ties. SE TEXAS R.A.I.N. displays rainfall, streamflow and water levels in major streams, bayous and reservoirs. All this information is compiled from original sources, including the US Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Weather

Service. SE TEXAS R.A.I.N. provides information collected by the gages in a userfriendly format directly to the public to assist the public in making self-informed decisions during threatening weather conditions. This information is also used by emergency management offices, county governments and local and regional governments to advise the public of rising water conditions in reservoirs, rivers and bayous.

“It’s extremely important in emergency situations for people to know what’s going on. This website gives everyone direct access to what’s happening where they live, whether they are there or away from home.” State Senator Robert Nichols SE TEXAS R.A.I.N. permits users to subscribe and receive alerts by text or email when stream and river gages reach high water levels. This mobile friendly website also provides an address look-up feature to check on available gage water levels and weather conditions closest to your home or business while you are away.

SE TEXAS R.A.I.N. was developed with the input and assistance of the five-county Judges and their respective emergency management coordinators, the Sabine River Authority of Texas, Lower Neches Valley Authority, USGS and National Weather Service. County emergency management contacts are provided in several locations on the website. Citizens are highly encouraged to coordinate directly with these offices whose primary purpose is to advise the public of rising water conditions and possible flooding situations that may require evacuation.

The website also provides citizens access to additional resources including the Texas Water Development Board’s TexasFlood.org website for what to do before, during and after a flood.

Road conditions monitored through the Texas Department of Transportation’s DriveTexas.org is also accessible.

“This regional system will greatly improve public access to critical information and is an important testament of regional coordination in the time of need.” State Representative James White “This website could not have come at a better time for the local communities. I encourage everyone to stay informed on SE TEXAS R.A.I.N.” State Representative Dade Phelan As a public service, information on SE TEXAS R.A.I.N. will expand as user needs grow. Please send any questions or comments about the website to info@ setexasrain.org or contact your local emergency man-

agement offices.

Rainbow Bridge turns 80 work in the water at depths of up to 110 feet and pressure up to 48 pounds. The $4.50 wage for the lowest depth was eventually raised to about $6.50. And in December, the Union Bridge and Construction Co. of Kansas City, Mo., submitted a low bid of $800,000 for substructure work.

In February, 1936, it was announced that work would begin March 3. E.M. Philpot, vice president of Union Bridge, said, “Our first job will be to build a road to the bridge site in order to move equipment, already shipped from Kansas City, and materials so that actual construction of the foundation can start shortly.” A series of heated talks then ensued between organized labor and county officials, with labor wanting every job the bridge had to offer. In April, a phone line was run to the bridge site, and state Sen. (and future Gov.) Allan Shivers mediated a written agreement between all parties concerning the labor issue. It was only spoken about in general terms, to the effect that “ … both sides had come to an understanding.” In May, some union men registered at the National Re-employment office for work on the bridge.

In June, 1936, the Sand Hogs, reported to be “fabled in story and song,” showed up. So dangerous was the work, they could only work two daily shifts of 45 minutes each. Their job: to sink the river piers (long hollow cylinders of concrete that looked like a stack of doughnuts) to depths of 100 feet.

Concrete was poured into hopper-bottomed buckets.

The buckets were raised by a crane and the contents dropped into a steel casing, then eventually lowered deeper and deeper into a “sand island.” Several Sand Hogs were injured or killed by “the Bends,” a pressurerelated malady caused by rising through the water too fast.

One such death was Ben Webb, 47, pronounced at St. Mary Hospital after arriving in a Grammier ambulance.

But you didn’t have to be in the water to die of the Bends.

Henry Womack, 32, was walking down Procter Street when he collapsed.

In May, about 100 Sand Hogs went on strike to demand higher pay. County commissioners approved a $1-per-hour raise for all pay levels. That same month, construction foreman Bruce Lytle, 30, was hit in the head by a steel wall and died at St. Mary. Knocked unconscious by the blow, he fell into the water and sank immediately.

In 1937, it was reported that painting the bridge was like “ … whitewashing Pike’s Peak.” In August, construction employee R. Holzapfel fell from a steel structure 20 feet to the ground. He was briefly in shock and fractured his left arm. He was luckier than Marcus Robinson, 39, who died after falling 170 feet into the water.

Around that time, the two sections of the bridge were joined. Famed odd fact collector Robert “Believe It Or Not” Ripley visited Port Arthur and mentioned his interest in the bridge to a local

reporter. Columnist Tommy Griffin, making the 45-minute trek from the foot of the bridge to its peak, said Texas A&M engineer Gibb Gilchrist called the structure “Mae West” because of it’s “come up and see me” attitude.

The bridge was dedicated on Sept. 8, 1938. Mary Elizabeth Mills, daughter of H.O. Mills, cut the ribbon. Crowds gathered at Yellow Jacket Stadium for talks by Texas Gov. James Allred and Orange Mayor William Lea. Businessman E.W. Brown Jr. was also in the Orange delegation. In Pinehurst, wellwishers were entertained by the 111th Engineers Band, the Beaumont Sons of the Legion Band, the Landry Memorial High Band of Lake Charles, the Stephen F. Austin High Band, the Red Hussairs, the Boy Scouts, the South Park Greenie Band, the Sons of the VFW Drum Corps, the Port Arthur High Band, “Popeye” Arnold and the American Legion Drum and Bugle Corps.

“I had occasion to be on this bridge last week,” Brown said, “and while standing there looking over the water and surrounding territory, I visualized the possibility of a great industrial center along the Sabine and Neches Rivers. In that mental picture I could see industries of all kinds, both large and small, each playing their part in making the Sabine-Neches district the leading industrial center of the south, with this great structure, the Port Arthur-Orange Bridge, playing a leading part.”

County business that can be used to monitor progress and problem-solving.

“Water doesn’t know if it’s in the city or the county system,” Slacum said.

“But it knows gravity,” Carona said.

“I cannot stress enough that this isn’t trying to take anything away from cities or TxDOT,” Crooks said. “If people know the number [for the correct entity], call it.

“But this is here to help when you don’t know.”

Commissioner John Gothia noted Tuesday that ditch-clearing operations by the county, the Drainage District and cities was paying off.

“I was out driving around Sunday and Monday and what we saw was much improved. Actually,” Gothia said, “the water went down a lot faster and did not get as high as before.”

One other flood-related tidbit noted at the meeting is that the new automated sandbag-filling machines bought for the county with donated grant money will not work with wet sand.

Commissioners directed Slacum to explore the possibility of building pole barns or other storage options at the precinct barns.

Another setback announced Tuesday came from Tina Barrow, county elections administrator.

She said that the new electronic voting machines that the county recently purchased would not be ready to go for November’s election.

Barrow said there was a mismatch with other election

software already in use that could not be solved in time.

Connie Cassidy, county purchasing director, gained approval to submit a 50-page list of county surplus items to Rene Bates Auctioneers for an online auction to run from Sept. 14-28.

Items fill 60 pallets and range from mitre saws to Gradall excavators, with more than 40 computers and more than 40 vehicles on the list.

A detailed list of items will be available with instructions for registration are available at www.renebates. com. Bidders must register to participate in the auction.

They can contact the county purchasing agents at 409882-7901, 7902, 7903 and 7904, or view the items at one of eight county offices, with the online list of items including a location for each pallet.

Michelle Tubbleville, county special projects coordinator, announced two new sources of help involving mobile homes.

She said USDA Rural Development would have a representative at the Expo Center from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 10 with low interest loans (1 percent to 3.75 percent interest, depending on household income) to purchase mobile homes, water wells or septic tanks.

She also said Samaritan’s Purse, a Christian relief organization based in North Carolina, has a program that might provide replacement mobile homes for Orange County mobile home dwell-

ers who lost those homes in the storm.

Call 409-745-9719 for more information, or email mtubbleville@ co.orange.tx.us for more information.

Tubbleville said Orange County Disaster Relief is selling T-shirts for $20, with proceeds going to help those Harvey victims with unmet needs. The shirts are gray with blue and orange print.

Church groups and other volunteers are still being sought to help with rebuilding homes after the year-ago tropical storm that dumped up to 60 inches of rain on Southeast Texas in less than a week.

Tubbleville reminded citizens with unmet needs to call 2-1-1 to connect with a case manager that can guide them in rebuilding their homes and lives.

The county paid $381,650 in bills Tuesday but continued to hold back a $61,200 check to Way Services.

Diane Gremillion, commissioners’ court legal counsel, said she had yet to track down someone to tell her if the Austin company had a required performance bond in effect.

Commissioners agreed to renew a $5,000 a month contract with Gordon and Parker, LLP to provide health and medical services to inmates at the County Jail. They OK’d five departmental lineitem transfers.

Tuesday’s meeting began with the commissioners proclaiming September National Suicide Prevention Month.

Concert and song release by StoweGood A concert and song release party has been planned for the National debut of a CASA song commissioned by Orange, TX CASA volunteer, Deana Laughlin, and written by Grammynominated/hit Nashville songwriters, StoweGood. In addition to their hit country songs, StoweGood has also written songs for The Lions, Hospice, The Compassionate Friends and cancer Survivors.

The duo will be at Wesley United Methodist Church, located at 401 North 37th Street in Orange this Sunday, Sept. 9 at 11 am. All are invited to attend, for more information call 409886-7276. They look forward to bringing healing tears and much laughter to South East Texas as they continue to recover from Harvey .

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN Obituaries 10 Years Ago-2008

From The Creaux’s Nest SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY OF 9-11 Most of us remember what we were doing on that terrible day when two planes destroyed the twin towers and another wrecked the Pentagon. A fourth plane controlled by the terrorists3 crashed and killed everyone aboard.

Dwayne Morse and I were visiting at the Creaux’s Nest, our office in Bridge City, before Ike came. We had a black and white TV on that we were not paying much attention to when I said, “Damn, those planes ran into those buildings.” The rest is history. Bin Laden claimed responsibility. Talking into a bullhorn three days later, President George W. Bush proclaimed Bin Laden was our first priority. He would hear from us. Seven years later he was still snubbing his nose at Bush and Cheney. Even though Iraq and Saddam had absolutely nothing to do with 9-11 it was used as an excuse to invade and occupy Iraq and kill Saddam. It just served as an excuse the Bush Administration needed. They knew from day one in office they would invade, they just didn’t know when the opportunity would come. Since that senseless invasion, many Americans have died in Iraq. Fifty thousand have been injured, many young soldiers committed suicide and many more lost families. The occupation of Iraq cost $10 to $12 billion a month, monies that put the American people in dire straits, money that could be used to prop Social Security and Medicare up. It’s the worst debacle in our country’s history. I said at the time anyone who supported this war of choice, pushed by Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, would never be president of the United States. It was an invasion based on lies whose goal was to disrupt the Mid-East oil market. The occupation was a total disaster from the day we stepped foot in that country. We were fed constant lies. When you boil it all down, the terrorist continued to win after 9-11 because of the drain on our country. Instead of getting them they laughed at the stupidity of invading a country that had nothing to do with their actions. Sen. John McCain was an early and strong supporter of the Iraq invasion and as a senate floor captain for the Bush Administration he convinced other senators to support it. Hillary was one he convinced and it cost her as well as him. Our reputation around the world was damaged. Obama, next president, inherited a country deeply in debt with a record deficit and a national debt that had doubled in eight years. President Obama and his intelligence department tracked down Bin Laden in Pakistan and killed him.*****Those are my thoughts about what started 17 years ago this week, 9-11-18. Gotta move on, come along it won’t do you no harm.

OUR CONDOLENCES We were sorry to hear about the death of “Sunny” Chesson, 79, born Lovera Mae Foster, in Lubbock, Texas, on March 5, 1939. She became the bride of Clyde Mitchell Chesson and together they raised their family. Sunny was a member of First Baptist Church in Bridge City. For many years she did Christian work throughout Orange County.

She had been an airplane pilot for 40 years and loved playing the piano. She was a beautiful and really amazing lady.

Her funeral service was held Tuesday, Sept. 4, at Claybar Funeral Home, in Bridge City, with Rev. Bob Boone officiating. Our condolence to her family and many friends.

TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME 10 Years Ago-2018 By late Wednesday we could be facing another mandatory evacuation because of Hurricane Ike. If it comes in anywhere between Cameron and Galveston we need to be out of Dodge. Right now the odds are we will be OK but like Rita, who was supposed to miss us, we can’t be sure.

Judge Carl Thibodeaux will have to make the call if we again evacuate. This is not easy for the judge. He’s well aware of the extreme hardship it places on citizens but his first interest must always be the safety of his people. The cooperation of communities taking our evacuees in has been excellent. Our Web site, therecordlive.com, will be your headquarters and contact for up to the minute developments before, during and after the storm. Ike is expected to make landfall Saturday.***** Marlene and Keith Merritt have a new granddaughter, Taylor Leigh Merritt, born Sept. 7. Taylor weighing in at 7 pounds, 15 ounces and was 20.5 inches high. She is the daughter of Craig and Tabitha Merritt.*****Willie Nelson, who has sold over 50 million albums and won countless awards, has now written a fiction book about the Wild West in a town called Luck, a name invented by Willie. “A Town Out of Luck” is getting good reviews.*****During the hurricane evacuation, Marlene and son Robert fed the Army National Guard four meals a day for 10 days. Before leaving town the Guard took grandson Easton to school in a Hummer.

They gave him a bunch of pins and let him march in formation with them. They made a lifetime of memories for that young man. *****Kenneth Smith and Danny Brack had nothing but praise for the Bridge City-Orangefield Volunteer Fire Department. Their quick and efficient response saved much of K-Dan’s Grocery and Meat Market that was struck by fire at 2 a.m. Monday.***** Orange native Wade Phillips and his Dallas Cowboys walked all over the Browns on a 28-10 win. The Orange native son of Bum, also a native, sure looks like he might be Super Bowl bound.

Dwayne Terrance LeBlanc, 41, of the McLewis Community, passed away Sunday, Aug. 31. Service was held Saturday, Sept. 6. He was a lifelong resident of Orange, graduated from Orangefield High School and worked as a winemaker for the Piney Woods Winery. He is survived by his parents, Derald David and Betty Dean LeBlanc, his brothers, David and Darren LeBlanc, sisters, Dana LeBlanc, Dena LeBlanc and Donna Darby and paternal grandmother, Helen Broussard.***** Elridge Leo Beard, 78, of Bridge City, died Sunday, Aug. 31. Services were Monday, Sept. 8. He is survived by his wife Martha Beard, sons David Wayne and Brian Keith, stepson, James Edward and stepdaughter Virginia Ann Myers, 18 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren.***** Fred Joseph Fusilier, 83, of Orangefield, died Saturday, August 30. Services were Friday, Sept. 5. He served in both the Navy and Air Force during World War II. He retired from DuPont and was a member of Pipefitters Local 195. He is survived by his sons and daughter, Kenneth Fusilier, Steven Fusilier, Sindy Roseatt and Jamie Fusilier, three grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

Wal-Mart locates only in communities with less than 15,000 population.***** Roy and Conley leave Bisbee on last leg toward El Paso, 40 years ago, 1978. “We stayed on Highway 80 toward Douglas that is on IH-10. Keeping with our plan of staying away from the interstate, before Douglas we turned on to Highway 9, a scenic, small road through the pyramid and cedar mountains, altitude 6,000 to 7,400 feet.

At Columbus we stopped and camped at Poncho Villa State Park. It was late afternoon on a clear, beautiful day matched by outstanding scenery. We had bought a couple of Porterhouse steaks in Bisbee so I started the coals and Conley grilled them. Conley mixed his drink. I took the one beer left in the cooler and sat back and enjoyed our surroundings and the juicy steak. Conley slept outdoors.

We chose to get a store-bought Mexican breakfast at a small restaurant in the little town before continuing down the narrow road that brought us into the backside of El Paso. The southwest can claim the oldest culture in American history. When the Spanish explorer Cabeza de Vaca passed by the territory now named El Paso, Shakespeare had not been born and Michelangelo was just beginning to paint the “Last Judgment.” El Paso was named in 1598, 20 years before the pilgrims arrived at Plymouth. Surrounded by mountains, the beauty of the city is at its best when the sun rises and sets behind the mountains. Conley and I got a hotel room and after a good bath ventured across the river to Mexico, had a sevencourse meal and enjoyed a great production at an outdoor theater. As we pulled out of El Paso, we visited about how impressed we were with the cleanliness of the towns of Arizona and New Mexico. Towns without even a cigarette butt on the ground. Back into Texas we reflected on our trip, from the massive mountains to the beautiful green valleys below, from the curious stare in an Indian child’s eyes, to the countryside, as primitive as it’s past, yet with distinctly modern towns free of pollution. The buildings all appear to be freshly painted. Before heading home we will make a trip through West Texas to Rising Star to visit the cemetery where my dad, Clay, grandparents, Laura and Allen, aunts and uncles are buried in the Dunn family plot.”

A FEW HAPPENINGS

Among things happening this week that are special to me are special occasions for people I think a lot of. First is recalling that on Sept. 8, the Rainbow Bridge will mark its 80th birthday. I was just a youngster when I first went over that massive bridge in 1940 with my father and his then wife Judy. The first time to cross that bridge was an experience and sight that sticks with you. I can’t believe today, when I whiz over that bridge, it seems so normal that I often don’t recall crossing it. That first time was really something.*****A few special friends celebrating birthdays this week. Sheriff Keith Merritt, a dedicated public servant, celebrates a birthday on Sept. 6. I appreciate his friendship. ***My buddy Millard “Neighbor” Cox will turn 94 on Sept. 8. Meeting and building a friendship with that WWII veteran is one of my life’s special joys. I feel very fortunate that I crossed paths with this good man several years ago. My respect and concern for him and Ms. Ginny is constant. Greater people I’ve never known.*****Last week we had good attendance at The Lunch Bunch at Tuffy’s. Among the room full were four World War II veterans, that’s pretty amazing when you think about how few are left. Cedric Stout and his wife Cherry are always nice to see. Cedric, 96, is the only Pearl Harbor survivor in the area. Earnest Goudeau, 94, Murphy Burch, 93 and Robert “Rock” Rothrock, age 93. It also was good to visit with former county commissioner, Owen Burton. He’s fun to be around. I was disappointed that his wife Nelda was on school duty and unable to attend. I really was looking forward to seeing her. Karen Fisher, our tax assessor, got to visit with Judge Rodney Price, who she saw daily for years at their Vidor jobs. She’s a nice, hard working lady. We have known her since she delivered Opportunity Valley News papers for us at age 17. Judge Derry Dunn hosted his office staff.

County Judge Dean Crooks is a good sport and likes to be around people. He recently moved his son to College Station where he’s an Aggie freshman. Teresa Beauchamp, nominee for county commissioner, really enjoys the fellowship. She says she is kicking off her campaign this week for the November election. She was really impressed with the old soldiers, as was everyone. Also kicking off his campaign for Pct. 1, Justice of the Peace, on Labor Day, was Judge Hershel Stagner. Port Commissioner Keith Wallace drove his son, Logan’s new van but Logan gave him instructions on how to drive. Commissioner Johnny Trahan came in late but didn’t waste time catching up on the food. By the way, everyone commented on how good the food was. Van was gone but Josette was her gracious, beautiful self. The Wednesday Lunch Bunch will dine at Novrozsky’s this week and at Robert’s next week.*****Roy, in his Down Life’s Hwy. column, recalls Don Jacobs, the times and the friends they shared. Harold Beeson is one of

the colorful people, he was once Municipal Judge at Rose City. Roy says he’s always been thankful to Harold for introducing him to a young, new, Vidor attorney named Buddie Hahn, who he has had a 40 year friendship with.*****Our friend, the prettiest jailer in Texas, Sharon Gearhart, celebrates her birthday Sept. 8. She looks much younger than her years.*****Also this week, Sept. 10, is the anniversary of Kelly and John Kimbrough.*****Judge James Stringer dropped by for a short visit last week. Neither of us have heard from the old lawman Wilson Roberts. We visited about all the good friends who have departed. “Stick” still maintains his high school weight.*****I spoke with Bearden and his knee surgery went well. Sharon claims he’s already walking 75 yards and will be climbing the courthouse steps by Sept. 27. Good luck.*****We had an attempted breakin last week. The West Orange policeman who investigated was former Bridge City football star, “Sambo” Carpenter, son of the late Lamar record setting halfback and super star Sammy Carpenter. Sambo says his son “Bo” is 15 years old and on the Bridge City baseball team.*****Speaking of football, 48 years ago this week, Sept. 3, 1970, the legendary coach Vince Lombardi died in Washington at the age of 57.*****Our prayers go out to everyone’s friend, Judge Joe Parkhurst, who was in ICU at Baptist Hospital as of Tuesday. He was taken to ER by ambulance. Joe will have to undergo another surgery to remove kidney stones. Hopefully, that will put him on track to full recovery. He’s a tuff old bird. “PapPaw” will come roaring back. Just a bump in the road for him.*****Don’t forget this Sunday, Sept. 9, is Grandparents Day. They love their grandchildren in a special way.

BIRTHDAYS A few of our friends who are celebrating birthdays in the coming week. Sept. 5: Cyndy Wedekind, Cindy Myers and Jason Toal celebrate today.

CAJUN S TORY OF THE WEEK The FBI office in Lafayette had an opening for an assassin. After background checks and testing was done the FBI chose three finalists. Two Cajun mens and a Cajun woman.

Da FBI agent took da first man, Ralph Desomeaux, to a large metal door and handed him a gun. Da agent said, “Desomeaux, we must know dat you will follow your instructions, no matter wat. Inside da room you will find your wife sitting in a chair, kill her.”

Ralph said, “You can’t be serious, I could never shoot my Agnes.”

Da agent answered, “Den you not da right man for da job you, take your wife and go home.”

Da second man, Batee Dugas, from Abbeville, was given da same instructions. Batee took da gun him, and went into da room. Everyting was quite for a few minutes. Batee came out wit tears in his eyes. “I tried but I can’t kill Clotile, da mudder of my children.

The FBI agent said, “You don’t got wat it takes you, go home.”

Finally it was da woman, Stormi Thibeaux’s turn. She was given da same instructions to kill her husband Bosco.

She took dat gun and went in da room. Shots were heard, one after an utter. Da agent heard screaming, crashing, banging on da walls then after a few minutes all was quite.

Da door opened slowly and dere stood Stormi, wiping da sweat from her brow. “Dis gun is loaded with blanks,” Stormi said, “I had to beat Basco to deat wit da chair.”

C’EST TOUT

I had almost forgot what being presidential looked like.

The week long salute to Sen. John McCain, by all the speakers who eulogized him, brought back memories of how the presidency is suppose to be. The week long services had one unified message, bi-partisanship. President Donald Trump never learns. He could have stayed low key, out of sight, and come out with a fresh message this week about the two parties working together. That would have served him better than twitting throughout the Saturday service, acting like 12 year old who just had to make noise for attention because he was being ignored. The craziest tweet to date is blaming Attorney General Jeff Sessions for indicting two Republican congressmen before they had a chance to get re-elected. It doesn’t matter to Trump that they broke the law. They were the first two congressmen to support him. If they are convicted, you can bet he will pardon them. Hearings started Tuesday on the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s, Trump’s Supreme Court nominee. In the end, Republicans are likely to win that one but not until sparks fly.*****Trump and Ted Cruz are planning the mother of all rallies in Texas in October. Several hundred buses have been rented to haul Bubba’s in from throughout the state. I will have more to say about that next week. It’s a big gamble on Ted’s part. He has no idea what might come out of Trump between now and Oct. Example: What if one of those tapes is about fixing an abortion for Trump. What will the Evangelicals do?

Cruz is depending on their vote. Trump’s longtime doorman says Trump was having an affair with the housekeeper and she got pregnant. That’s one of the stories that was bought and killed. What if that story arises from the dead before the big rally. The Bob Woodard book will knock the cover off the ball. Cruz must really be scared to roll those dice. More later.*****My time is up, thanks for yours. Read us cover to cover. Last week, we got a lot of response to Capt. Chuck’s story about his dog Sally. We even heard from far away places. There are plenty of dog lovers. Till next time, take care and God bless.

Morris named Region 5 Teacher of Year During a special Budget/Tax Rate Hearing of the Little Cypress-Mauriceville Board of Trustees, Region 5’s Marianne Kondo and Dr. Danny Lovett, presented the Region 5 Secondary Teacher of the Year Award to LCM High School’s Terry Morris.

Not only is Morris a computer science instructor, he coached teams to the state level in 2015, and 2016. In 2017 his computer science team won the state championship in the 4A division.

Besides his teaching and computer science team coaching, he also is an active speaker and proponent for both computer science education and UIL competition.

He has presented at the Region 5 Curriculum Conference; the 2018 STEM Conference in Galveston; co-presented the two-day Computer Science Workshop at UIL’s Capital Conference held at the University of Texas in 2017; and at the UIL Student Activities Conference held at the University of Houston in 2017.

Little Cypress Mauriceville High School’s Terry Morris was named the Region 5 Secondary Teacher of the Year. Pictured, from left, are Marianne Kondo, Terry Morris, and Dr. Danny Lovett.

Mr. Morris has been employed by LCMCISD since 2009. His principal for several years was Todd Loupe, now Executive Director for Secondary

Education. He says this about Terry. "No one is more dedicated than Terry. His computer science students put in extraordinary effort because they know

their teacher is putting in the same amount of effort for them.

Mr. Morris has created a culture where his students put high expectations on themselves."

The Library at St. Mary Catholic School looks wonderful. Renovations were completed during the summer break as well as to other areas of the school. It was great coming back to school to this beautiful facility.

Jacobs: One of a kind Roy Dunn For e Record Donald Wayne Jacobs, age 80, died Aug. 24, 2018. Don and I went back over 40 years.

He started off writing a column for our Opportunity Valley News and later became editor of our Beaumont weekly, e Consumer Beacon.

He continued to write for us at our Port Arthur/Mid-County publication, e Community Post. roughout the years Don kept up his newspaper writing with a Country Music column in the Beaumont Enterprise.

I gave him his first job as a column writer.

Don was a natural writer and was described as a prolific wordsmith. He was witty and always entertaining. Don had an old Martin acoustic guitar and could play the snot out of it. He wrote many songs that could have been hits. He had that Roger Miller mentality.

Once he quit everything, packed his old Martin and headed to Nashville hoping to break into country music big time. e columns we ran in our newspaper at the time were written by Don from Nashville.

After awhile, Don gave it up and came home saying it was impossible to get your foot in the door in Nashville without inside connections.

His friend Benny Barnes had landed a record deal. “A Bar With No Beer” was one of the songs that got him started.

Benny didn’t want to be a big star, he would rather fish and didn’t want to do the traveling that was required by his recording label. He did record 129 songs, some written by Don. As a birthday gift Don gave

Deaths and Memorials Carl Salsbury, 90, former Bridge City resident

Don Jacobs

me the entire log of Benny’s music plus all of his own songs.

He especially recorded the song, “Legend of Roy Dunn— Who Did” as a gift to me. One of the lines was, “He was a simple coon-ass who made a follower out of the Leader.”

When Phyl and I were younger, we often were lucky enough to play host to some of the most talented people, such as Don, Harold and his wife Shelia, Dan and Louise Green, Gordon Baxter, his wife Diane and a host of others who belonged to what Don called “Baxter Brigade.”

We spent many hours together at different homes and at Bax’s place on Village Creek.

When we visited Judge Beeson’s place we had to run the chickens off the couch and shut the door so the goats couldn’t come in.

When Harold Beeson died, Don, Bax and I spoke at his funeral. It was the most unusual going away I had ever attended, with some great stories.

Harold was an English teacher and great writer, he also served as Judge of Rose City.

Don read some of Harold’s letters and told about some of their shenanigans, and how

many places they had been run out of.

Don had lived a colorful life.

Born in Center, in East Texas, he started entertaining, picking and singing when he was 12 years old. His family moved to Nederland where he played football for Coach Bum Phillips.

Few people I know could tell a story like Jacobs. His songs were hilarious.

Beeson was also a published author, co-writing a children’s book called “Rags and Patches” with Bill Maddox. e book was considered to be made into a movie and can be found on Amazon.

In all the years that Don wrote, I only recall one story about his grandmother, who had killed some of her children and stayed many years in prison. I believe she finally got out before she died.

Many East Texans, like Millard Cox, probably remember that story that made national news.

Don died at age 80. He was one of a special group I was fortunate enough to hang with. ey are mostly all gone now.

Don was cremated and a private memorial service will be held later. You would have had to know him to appreciate what a great talent and intelligent person he was. Rest in peace my friend.

Carl Salsbury, 90, of Carthage, Texas, former resident of Bridge City, Texas, passed away on September 3, 2018 in Carthage.

In addition to spending time with his children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren, Carl loved to spend time in his woodshop creating whatever came to mind.

GAMES THIS WEEK JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

WOS Mustangs over LCM Bears It’s been a real long time since the Mustangs have lost two games in a row and get defeated at Dan Hooks Stadium, so they should be really fired up for Friday night’s cross-town rivalry at Bear Stadium. The ‘Stangs will take out their frustrations on the Bears, who still are looking for their first points of the young season.

Jasper Bulldogs Over BC Cardinals The Cards just couldn’t get anything going last week at Diboll and will on the road again against an even tougher team.

Let’s hope the Redbirds shake off the cobwebs and come up with a good effort Friday.

Orangefield Bobcats Over Livingston The Bobcats had better not expect to score 61 Friday night at Livingston, who surrendered more than that (68) last week. But it feels good entering the second week of the season undefeated.

Deweyville Pirates Over Colmesneil

The Orangefield Bobcats ushered in the 2018 football season with a 61-0 victory over KIPP Generations Collegiate of Houston. Above: The Bobcats rush on to the field behind the Stars and Stripes carried by Kent Michael at F. L. McClain Stadium.

“Coach [Randy] Crouch will have them ready to play. We’re going to get their best football game, as we have over the years.

“I hope some of our guys will wake up to reality that we just can’t just throw our hats out there and

expect to win.”

The Mustangs, coming off four straight trips to the state title game – with back-to-back wins in 201516 – had a 23-game regular season winning streak snapped, 19-18, by Nederland last Friday.

The last team to beat WOS in the regular season was Richmond Foster, 42-14, on Sept. 26, 2015.

It was the first home loss for

WOS in eight years, since Kirbyville escaped Orange with a 28-14 win on Oct. 10, 2010. The Mustangs had won 40 straight games overall before falling to Pleasant Grove in the 2017 championship game.

LCM’s Bears fell 40-8 in Woodville, avoiding a shutout with a 77yard kickoff return for a touchdown

A Labor Day to Remember

DICKIE COLBURN FISHING REPORT FOR THE RECORD

Labor Day weekend turned soggy Sunday evening and it looks as though we have more rain to come. Higher off colored water will slow a pretty good bite down initially, but some significant tide changes should help improve the bite in Sabine Lake.

While most hard core bass fishermen wrote off the weekend to way too much recreational pressure on Rayburn and Toledo Bend, eighteen year old Zack Smith made it one to remember.

“I fished at night for the first time last month and caught my largest bass ever, a four pounder, on a purple lizard,” said Zach. “When my Uncle invited our family back up to TBend last weekend I couldn’t wait.”

Zach and his team mates lost their game Friday night, but he loaded up his Mom and sister and drove up to the lake immediately after the game. “We fished a couple of hours, but I was so tired that we only fished a little while that night.”

After sleeping in late the following morning, helping his Uncle repair the dock and filling up on barbequed ribs, he sorted through tackle the remainder of the evening preparing for a night of bass fishing.

“My Uncle has been night fishing for thirty years and he told me not to worry about all of the boats running across one of the spots we wanted to fish all day long. He was right!”

It took the better part of two hours for the first bass to find Zack’s ten inch Power worm crawling across the bottom in eighteen feet of water. “I thought I was hung up when my rod started bending over before I could even set the hook,” said the youngster.

What seemed an eternity later, Uncle Clyde slid the net under Zack’s new “largest” bass…a thick seven pounder.

“We didn’t have a camera and I wanted to keep her, but I agreed to let her go,” said Zack. “My friends were never going to believe me.”

After putting two keepers in the live well, he found himself in a tug of war again. “at bass

weighed 8.4 pounds and I didn’t even look at Uncle Clyde because I knew he was going to say we should put

her back anyway.”

His Uncle forced him to quickly wolf down the rest of a leftover rib sandwich when he boated a bass in the five pound class. “I was so excited that I backlashed my next three casts and my Uncle told me, “Settle down…we’re not leaving any time soon.”

“I was still thinking about the two fish I put back when my lightest bite of the night turned into my hardest pull of the night .”Much to his surprise, this time Uncle Clyde would tell his nephew, “You can keep this one,” as soon as he netted her.

“You might never have another night trip like this one,” said Clyde. “Let’s go back, wake everyone up and take a picture.” “at’s when I knew she was really big”, said Zack.

It was what happened next that made this incredible night of fishing special for me as well. “e bass weighed 10.4 pounds and Aunt Carol put on a robe and walked down and took our picture,” said Zack. “She also said that Uncle Clyde had never caught a bass that big and she was going to pay to have it mounted.” ey put the big fish in the live well and were headed back up to the camp when they met Zack’s nine year old sister walking down to see the fish. “She is handicapped so she can’t fish, but she loves to sit and watch me catch bream in the pond at home.”

“When I picked the bass up we hugged and high-fived and I don’t know why, but I got all sad,” said Zack. “I told her to turn the fish loose, we named it Dottie after her and walked back to the camp to eat some pudding.”

“Aunt Carol started crying and said she was going to have a replica made and Uncle Clyde just shook his head and walked outside,” said the young bass fisherman quickly adding, “I can’t wait to go again.”

I’m betting there will always be a spot in Uncle Clyde’s boat for Zack!”

Rule changes rule openers 2018 NFL kickoff set for Thursday KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR

FOR THE RECORD I distinctly remember when I first cultivated an interest in the National Football League back in the middle 1950’s.

Living in upstate New York, there was only one NFL team to follow—the New York Giants. I recall their safety and punter named Tom Landry.

Y.A. Tittle was the quarterback.

Frank Gifford was the halfback.

Alex Webster was the fullback.

Allie Sherman was the coach.

The team was fun to watch because it was consistently good.

I have been an NFL fan even before I became a sportswriter in 1960 while attending McNeese State. I have endured many changes in the league and the rules.

There were no celebratory dances in the end zone. When someone made a good play there was no beating the chest or raising a fist. The players back then merely did what they were being paid to do—play football as their job.

There was no brand-management ad campaign until Mean Joe Green received that Coke from the little kid. And there weren’t any politicallydriven protests.

“So, let’s embrace all of the NFL, with its celebrations and commercials and uncomfortable social statements,” wrote ESPN the Magazine in this week’s editions and try to figure out what some of the new rules are all about like what really is a catch, tackling without leading with the helmet and the fair catch on kickoffs.

Most of the focus of the league has been on the catch rule realistically brought into the NFL spotlight on non-catches by Dallas Cowboy receiver Dez Bryant and Pittsburgh Steelers’ tight end Jesse James. Both of these fiascos resulted in the final outcome of an important playoff game.

Game officials will now abide by the rules established in the 1950’ and ‘60’s that said when the caught football crosses the goal line or the outof-bounds chalk, it’s a catch regardless if the player hits the bench on the sidelines and drops the football or if he crashes into a pile of players in the endzone and loses the football—it’s a catch.

More emphasis is being placed on the new helmet rule which has upset most of the players and confused the game officials.

According to an article by the Associated Press in Monday’s editions, “The league altered the regulations on using the helmet when making contact on both sides of the ball, making it a 15-yard penalty no matter where on the helmet strikes an opponent, “Even players on offense and linemen in the trenches are subject to being flagged with potential fines and ejections for particularly flagrant hits by lowering the helmet,” the article added.

Former Seattle Seahawks’ shut-down cornerback Richard

Sherman and compadre of holdout safety Earl Thomas believes the new helmet rule won’t ever be easy or fair. “It’s an idiotic rule. There’s no way you can tackle and play football,” Sherman concluded.

Tomorrow’s opening game features world champion Philadelphia clashing with the Atlanta Falcons. The Eagles boast a sturdy defense and a questionable offense.

Head Coach Doug Peterson refuses to tell the media whether he plans on starting Nick Foles or Carson Wentz at quarterback. Foles had a mediocre training camp while Wentz has yet to be cleared by team doctors for full contact.

Closer to home, the two Lone Star State franchises are confident that 2018 will be better than last season. The Houston Texans appear to be healthy and chomping at the bit to play the New England Patriots Sunday. In fact, I made this game my Upset Special of the Week.

The Dallas Cowboys just didn’t seem to get going on offense. Of course, one must understand that many of the starters didn’t see much action in the pre-season games. The Pokes open the season Sunday at Carolina. Both Texas teams are underdogs in their respective openers.

KWICKIES… The Sunset Grove Members Golf Association must have known the extended weather forecast last spring when it decided not to have the annual Labor Day tournament this year. The reason was because the weather hasn’t been conducive for a successful golf tournament during that particular weekend. And guess what?? All three days would have been played on a sloppy course at best or just canceled. The MGA saved a whole lot of money and clerical work with that decision.

The fact that Orange native Earl Thomas is continuing to hold out for a contract extension forced the Seattle Seahawks to cut veteran linebacker Maurice Alexander and acquire safety Shalom Luani. According to team spokesman Mookie Alexander, Earl’s fines have already exceeded $700,000 and that the team has the weakest cornerback roster since 2010. I believe that if the Seahawks fail to have a good performance from their defense, something should happen that will make Earl Thomas happy.

The LSU Tigers looked very impressive Sunday night at AT&T Stadium in Arlington as they beat the favored Miami Hurricanes in every phase of the game 33-17. And the game was not as close as the final score indicated.

On a personal note, I received a surprise visit from Johnny Kohler, who happens to be my nine-month-old greatgrandson from Anchorage.

He’s already built like a linebacker (over 25 pounds) and is strong as an ox.

The Houston Astros looked like the defending world champs that they are last weekend, rallying Saturday from a 32 deficit in the bottom of the eighth inning with five runs to win 7-3. Sunday night on national TV they played tough to edge the LA Angels 4-2 at Minute Maid Park in Houston.

JUST BETWEEN US… Those ardent football fans who follow both the West OrangeStark Mustangs and the Texas Longhorns are feeling double pains as both teams lost in similar fashion. Both teams had too many turnovers on sloppy fields and were intercepted while driving for the winning touchdown. e Longhorns, who were favored by a touchdown, lost at Maryland 34-29, while missed extra points cost the Mustangs as Nederland hung on for a 19-18 upset vic-

Woodville bullied the Bears, gaining 523 total yards while holding LCM to negative-11 yards. e Mustangs took a 12-0 first quarter lead on an 82-yard interception return by JaVonn Ross and a 32-yard fumble return by Teshaun Teel. ey also outgained Nederland 229-183 but turned the ball over four times and were flagged 10 times for 80 yards in penalties.

WOS was playing without its top running back, Kavyn Cooper, while Nederland’s top signal-caller, Blaysin Fernandez, also sat out injured.

To say ompson was not pleased with his team’s play would be putting it mildly.

“I don’t know how you can take a football team like Nederland for granted,” the WOS coach said. “But I don’t think we took it serious enough.

“I said before the year started, we had too many white hats [inexperienced varsity players] out there. And we lacked senior leadership.

“It was an all-around mess.”

Quarterback Tyrone Wilson led the Mustangs in rushing yards (15 for 61) and passing yards (63 yards on 6 of 16 accuracy with one pick.) Running back Justin Sibley had 31 yards on 10 carries. ompson pledged “there will be a bunch of new faces out there” against LCM, including a change at starting quarterback.

Jerren Terrell, who relieved Wilson late, will start against LCM, ompson said.

Landon Bearden led LCM’s offensive output against Woodville with five rushes for 14 yards. Quarterback Ethan McCollum completed 2 of 12 passes for 7 yards but netted minus-20 yards after his sack total were deducted.

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.

Without a doubt the biggest challenge for local hunters when it comes to dove season is ďŹ nding real estate to hunt on. e 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. e 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. e alternative to public land is leased property, both season and day. Now if you have spent any time in the ďŹ eld 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 ďŹ nd a good one they tend to guard them ďŹ ercely. e 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 temperatures, 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 in the North zone took advantage last weekend as they opened with fantastic results. South zone hunters hope to duplicate that stellar start in a few days as they get their turn to crank up the new season. 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 talkingâ€? 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.

Heaven Will Be Better Than Eden Nancy Guthrie Guest Contributor desiringGod.org When we read about the garden of Eden in Genesis 1 and 2, we can’t help but feel drawn to its beauty and abundance and innocence. It must have been wonderful to live in such a pristine environment, with every need met, to experience an intimate marriage full of delight in each other, and to have a satisfying sense of purpose in ruling over God’s creation together.

In fact, we often hear people talk about the future in terms of a return to, or restoration of, Eden. But to speak of the new creation in terms of a restoration of Eden is actually a reduction of what God has planned for his people and for his world. Eden was never intended to be the end. It was always headed somewhere — somewhere even more glorious: new heavens and a new earth (2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1– 2).

Rather than thinking of Eden in terms of perfection, we should think of it in terms of potential. Eden was unspoiled, but it was also unfinished; it was unsullied, but it was also incomplete.

As Adam and Eve were fruitful and multiplied, more offspring in the image of God would come to glorify God by enjoying him forever. As they worked and kept the garden, the boundaries of Eden would expand, and the glory of their royal rule would increase.

Just as Eden was not yet all that God intended the home he shared with his people to be, so Adam and Eve were not yet all that God intended his people to be. They were sinless, but they were vulnerable to temptation. They were alive, but they were vulnerable to death. They were made in God’s image, and crowned with a measure of his glory, but they weren’t yet as glorious as God intended them to be. If they obeyed God regarding the forbidden tree, they would be able to

eat of the tree of life and enter into the unending, glorious life promised by the tree of life. But, of course, that’s not what happened.

Garden Gone Wrong When Satan slithered into Eden in the form of a serpent, Adam did not crush his head then and there but listened to and obeyed him. So rather than extending the boundaries of Eden, Adam and Eve were expelled from Eden. Rather than more fully sharing the glory of the image of God, the image of God in them became marred.

Rather than entering into the endless Sabbath rest, they were plunged into the restlessness of the wilderness of this world.

But God’s plan for his people and the place he intends to share with them could not be hindered by human sin.

God’s plan for his creation was then, and remains now, to establish his kingdom in a new creation, ruled by his Son and his Son’s bride who will share his glory and enjoy his presence in an eternal Sabbath rest.

So why does this plan matter? Why does it matter that we understand that God’s original and still-in-place plan always has been headed toward an escalation of the excellencies of the original Eden?

Understanding Eden orients us toward a better home.

Sometimes we get sick of this world, and we find ourselves very homesick for the next. But what we long for is not merely a return to Eden.

Eden was beautiful, but it wasn’t secure. Evil made its way into Eden and brought ruin with it.

The new creation, where we will make our home forever, will be completely secure. “Nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false” (Revelation 21:27). It will be a vast garden city, filled with a “ransomed peo-

ple for God from every tribe and language and people and nation” (Revelation 5:9). As the bride of Christ, we will share this home with our perfect Bridegroom. We won’t just hear his sound in the garden (Genesis 3:10); we “will see his face” (Revelation 22:4).

Understanding Eden compels us to be joined to the true Adam.

The first Adam failed in the work God gave him to do.

Jesus, the second Adam, accomplished the work he was given to do, declaring from the cross, “It is finished!”

(John 19:30). The first Adam failed to obey regarding a tree. Jesus obeyed regarding the tree of Calvary. The first Adam failed to love and protect his bride. But Jesus loved his bride by giving himself up for her. Understanding the failure of Adam in Eden compels us to take hold of the true Adam, Jesus.

We all are born connected by our shared humanity to the first Adam, physically alive but spiritually dead.

Unless something supernatural happens, we remain spiritually dead. It is when our eyes are opened to the beauty of Christ, and we respond in repentance and faith, that something supernatural does happen. We become joined to Christ by faith so that we are made spiritually alive with his life.

Understanding Eden fills us with anticipation for future glory.

To be joined to the risen Christ is to have the newness and glory and life of the greater Eden breaking into

our lives in the here and now.

“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come” (2 Corinthians 5:17). We find that the glory of the future transforms our sense of shame now. A settled sense of the security of the future soothes our fear of death now. A growing sense of our identity as citizens of heaven changes how we see ourselves now. Truly taking in the love relationship we’re going to enjoy forever warms our hearts toward Christ now.

But the glory we experience now is nothing compared with the glory to come.

One day Christ is going to come and call us to rise from our graves. He’s going to give us resurrected, glorified bodies that are fit for living forever with him. We’ll experience all that God has planned, and been preparing, to share with his people from the very beginning.

We’re not merely looking forward to a restoration of what Eden once was. Instead, we’re looking forward to the consummation of all that Eden was intended to be. Jesus, the true Adam, our glorious Bridegroom, the Seed who crushed the serpent’s head (Genesis 3:15), will not fail to lead us into all that God is preparing for us — a home even better than Eden.
