BC tax rate approved, residents want to be disannexed David Ball

For The Record

It’s now official. The Bridge City City Council adopted and levied municipal ad valorem taxes for the 2018 tax year at their regular meeting on Tuesday night. The numbers are as follows: • $.20897 per $100 valuation for the Debt Service Rate (Interest and Sinking) • $.33803 per $100 valuation for Maintenance and Operations Rate • $.54700 per $100 valuation for Total Tax Rate which is a 3.93 percent increase James and Melissa Chatlosh requested their property at 6230 W. Roundbunch Rd. near Bessie Heights Road be

disannexed from the city of Bridge City. James said they have to get utility services from either the OrJones angefield Water Supply Corporation or services from Orange County and they get no services from Bridge City. He added that he wants to build a commercial metal building on his property, but he doesn’t want any conflicts between Bridge City and the county. Furthermore, James said when he calls the Bridge City Police Department to his property, “they look at you funny when they come out.” He explained Bridge City po-

lice officers will say his property is in the county. Orange County deputy sheriffs will say his property is in the BCPD’s jurisdiction. He said for insurance purposes, he needs to show the property is covered by police, fire and ambulance for insurance purposes.

Jerry Jones, Bridge City city manager, said OWSC has the utilities certification and Bridge City can’t go into there. On the other hand, building permits are issued from the city of Bridge City. City attorney Paul Fukuda said the OWSC is the exclusive provider.

“You’re in our own ETJ (extra territorial jurisdiction) regardless,” Jones said. Councilman Kirk Roccaforte said James could “open up a big can of worms” with disannexing properties. “It could create a whole lot more problems,” he said. Melissa asked in a worse

case scenario if they call the Bridge City Police they would come out to their property in which the city council said yes. They are also covered by fire and ambulance services. Jones said originally the road going out was annexed BRIDGE CITY Page 3A

Crooks’ pay cut for commissioners fails 4-1 Dave Rogers

For The Record

Orange County Judge Dean Crooks knew the job was dangerous when he took it but he went down swinging on the losing end of another 4-1 vote Tuesday. Crooks proposed cutting the salary of the five members of commissioners’ court – he and the four commissioners – to 5 percent above what the officials earned before a large increase in 2018. Outvoted 4-1 last week when he proposed to defund the Orange County Economic Development Corporation, noted Thursday that rank-and-file county employees got 5 percent raises in 2018. He said to cut the top offi-

cials’ pay would show the county’s 370 employees they were “leading from the front. “I would ask Crooks that the court consider reducing our pay and come up with a percentage that’s probably more in line with the [5 percent] raise that was made last year,” Crooks said. The commissioners, including two lame ducks that wouldn’t be affected by the changes, saw it differently. “Last year, we looked at that and reviewed it over several months,” Precinct 3 Commissioner John Gothia

Orangefield receives new Lifetouch books David Ball

For The Record

Teachers at Orangefield Elementary School lost everything to Hurricane and Tropical Storm Harvey last year, including some of the most basic but necessary learning tools — books. But help was on the way. Lifetouch, the leading provider of school and family photography, teams with the Texas Elementary Principal and Supervisors Association and Scholastic Book Fairs to

donator more than 800 new books to the school on Tuesday afternoon in the gym with the OES fourth-grade, teachers and administrators in attendance. The books will be used to hep rebuild the school’s classroom libraries, which were destroyed by Hurricane Harvey last year.

Friends remember David Cagle longtime Orange County LEO David Ball

For The Record

Constable David Cagle may had not been too boisterous, but his actions spoke louder than words to those who knew him. Cagle, 57, of Mauriceville, died on September 16, in Beaumont, according to his obituary. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m., Thursday, September 20, at North Orange Baptist Church in Orange with the Rev. Kevin

Brown officiating. Burial will follow the service at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens in Orange. Visitation will be from 5 to 8 p.m., Wednesday, September 19, at First Baptist Church in Mauriceville. Cagle served the community for many years including three years with the Bridge City Police Department, four years with the Port Arthur Police Department, 23 years with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC), six years with the

Orange County Sheriff’s Office, and serving six years as the constable for Orange County Precinct 2. He graduated from Lamar University with a bachelor’s degree in law enforcement, as well as being a firearms instructor, a Master Peace Officer, and he was voted Readers’ Choice Best Law Enforcement Officer of the Year for 2017 and 2018. Keith Merritt, Orange County sheriff, said he knew Cagle for 30 years and their paths would cross in law en-

forcement work. “He was a great asset for Orange County,” Merritt said. “He was very accessible to the people. He would go out day and night. He was a true public servant.” Lt. Joey Hargrave, with the OCSO, knew Cagle since they were both 8 years old, growing up in Bridge City. He said they played Little League baseball on different teams and competed in other sports and went to school together. Though both are in law enforcement, they served

in different agencies and never worked together. Cagle had left the BCPD when Hargrave started working there in 1984. “He was very personable, he was very intelligent,” Hargrave said. “He was laid back and he never met a stranger. He could make friends with everyone. He was funny too; he would keep you in stitches and he was a heck of a nice guy. I’m going to miss him.” Derry Dunn is Precinct 2 DAVID CAGLE Page 2A

OF church loving their faraway neighbors David Ball

Staff Report For The Record

For The Record

One thing for certain — Southeast Texans know what it’s like to go through a hurricane and to recover and rebuild from one. First Baptist Church of Orangefield, likewise, is extending that empathy and experience to residents of North Carolina and South Carolina who are suffering from Hurricane Florence. Pastor Cody Hogden said the church and the community started collecting supplies last week to bring to the Carolinas. “We had a distribution center here at the church for two weeks during (Hurricane and Tropical Storm) Harvey. Two guys from North Carolina and South Carolina helped us here. John Harwood brought in two 18-wheelers full of supplies and a guy I only knew as Jimbo, from Myrtle Beach, brought a crew to mud out homes. We know someone who is personally impacted and we started to gather supplies to bring.” Since the church started collecting last week, people have donated a semi truck and four 20-foot cargo trailers. In addition, six church-

es from Buna to Beaumont have brought supplies. Hogden said the church is sending cleaning supplies, tools to gut a home, baby stuff, paper goods and dog and cat food. He added that the church isn’t collecting clothing to send at the time because they couldn’t handle that with the other supplies and the clothes could possibly rot with the humidity as they did during Harvey when others sent

David Cagle justice of the peace for Orange County. He worked in the same building with Cagle for a little more than six years when he served as constable. “He was a good peopleperson,” he said. “David was good at mediating warring parities like dogs getting out or someone saying a street ran on their property line. He did a good job of taking care of his constable duties. “He stabilized the constable position. He was the fourth one I had to work with and I could count on him.” Dunn spoke with County Judge Dean Crooks who said

them and they had to be discarded. “It’s good to pay back,” he said. “God did the same thing for us. We wants us to be the tangible hands and feet of Christ,” he said. April Joyner was collecting and sorting out supplies for loading at the church. She said she’s motivated to help because Jesus loves others as He loves us. “They’re at a really low point at this time in their

lives as we’ve all been (from Harvey),” she said. Joyner said she and her family were blessed because their Orangefield home didn’t flood during Harvey and in turn, they could help others. The church will continue to collect donations and gift cards from 6 to 8 p.m. until Thursday at the church, 9788 FM 105 in Orangefield.

died of an apparent heart attack. He has been constable since 2012. He won re-election in 2016. Cagle is survived by his wife Kathy and five children. His brothers Tim and Steve are also in law enforcement. Steve works for the BCPD. Donna Scales met Cagle through the Lunch Bunch that meets on Wednesdays. She said he didn’t speak too much. Instead, he would listen to others and laugh. “He would get so tickled that he would get tears in his eyes. But you always knew he

was there,” Scales said. One particular humorous story Cagle enjoyed hearing over and over again was a confrontation Scales had on an airliner with a difficult fellow passenger. “He would say, ‘Tell me that story one more time. Is it really true?’” she said. “He even brought his wife and brother in law to hear the story. I told him he heard it so many times he could tell it himself. “He was quiet, but he walked with a big, old stick.”

he and the county commissioners court will speak to the deputy constables and “get some other names out” to appoint someone to fill Cagle’s position by the end of the year. “It’s a sad and tragic situation. I feel sorry for his wife and family,” he said. “Part of my job is to deal with deaths, but it’s tougher when it’s someone you know.” Cagle was working outside at his home in Mauriceville when he was found by a family member, according to reports. He was transported to a Beaumont hospital where he

A Texas prison guard has been charged in the aggravated assault of an inmate who has since died, according to the state prison department’s investigatory branch. Correctional officer D’Andre Glasper allegedly assaulted Gary Ryan, 58, at the Estelle Unit in Huntsville on Aug. 30, who suffered from brain injuries and died nearly two weeks later, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice’s Office of the Inspector General’s office said in a news release Tuesday afternoon. Glasper, 22, was arrested two days before Ryan’s death and was released from the Walker County Jail after posting $50,000 bail. The incident began after Ryan spit on Glasper’s torso in

the morning, according to the news release. Glasper reported the incident to his supervisor and returned to his shift, though with instructions to have no further contact with Ryan. Against his instructions, Glasper later went back to Ryan to take him to shower. Glasper said Ryan became aggressive and made “derogatory remarks,” the release said, and that Ryan’s injuries occurred as the guard tried to put Ryan “prone on the floor.” When medical staff arrived, Ryan was unresponsive and bleeding from his head. Ryan was airlifted to a Houston hospital and underwent surgery to relieve the pressure on his brain, according to the investigatory office. Glasper was arrested on the assault charge on Sept. 10, and Ryan died two days later.

from preschool to seniors in high school. She added that it was Lifetouch’s heart to give back after Harvey to help students and teachers. Lifetouch organized the Cover to Cover, Heart to Heart campaign to help replenish classroom libraries in three Hurricane harveyravaged Texas schools including OES and Little Cypress Elementary. From August 13 through September 5, Lifetouch employees purchased books for each school through an online Scholastic Book Fair. In addition, Scholastic Book Fairs matched 50 percent of LIfetouch employee purchases with a donation of Scholastic Dollars, which all three schools can redeem through the Scholastic Dollars Catalog online for even more books and educational resources. Haeg said the three organizations formed a joint partnership to give back to the three rural schools in south Texas. Larry Wissinger, director of business development for Scholastic, said they organized an online book fair prior to a usual book fair.

said. On the ground, we’ve treated 57 areas from September 4 through September 17 and we’ve covered 46,000 acres. Aerial, we’ve treated 27 areas and 70,100 acres.” Weather issues, however, have been hampering efforts and some treatments had to be canceled. Treatments are then pushed for the next day or the following day. Or crews will treat areas that aren’t raining for Plan B. “We adjust our schedules accordingly,” he said. “We can treat and there will be reinfestation the next day. There are very high numbers.” Beebe said it’s a little early in the season to see this kind of mosquito activity. It usually increases in October or the beginning of fall. That’s when the area has fronts roll in that push the water out. Wind will come out of the north then turn around and come from the south. Low lying areas will fill up with

They marketed with LIfetouch and each school had their own team captain. A wish list was made for OES to purchase books in which Lifetouch employees purchased from out of their own pockets. “These kids really deserve something positive after this,” Wissinger said. “The employees with Scholastic had a great time with this.” Haeg added this will be the gift that keeps on giving for years and years because the books can be passed down. Furthermore, the books acquired are based on what they read.

County business said. “The county employees’ raise was 5 percent. But those employees over a 10year time had gotten raises to accumulate more than 15 percent while elected officials had gotten no raises over that time.” Even Precinct 4 Commissioner Jody Crump, the only one to vote against last year’s elected officials’ pay raise that averaged about $11,000 for the 18 elected officials whose salary comes solely from the county. The agenda item called for “possible action regarding adopting the Elected Officials salaries” for the 2019 budget. The county had recently advertised the elected officials’ pay at the same rates as those approved last summer in what turned out to be a controversial vote held during the national emergency that was Tropical Storm Harvey. Last year’s raise was the first for elected officials in nine years, and it didn’t raise many eyebrows before the

Lately, if you’ve been outside you’ve noticed mosquitoes have been biting 24/7. Patrick Beebe, director of Orange County Mosquito Control, said there has been a spike in mosquito activity due to a combination of high tides and high rainfall since Labor Day. Also, there is standing water throughout the county and mosquitoes are hatching eggs in the excess water. Beebe said the surveys reveal the number of salt marsh and rice field mosquitoes have increased. Fortunately, this species does not carry West Nile Virus, St. Louis Encephalitis or Zika virus. Instead, these mosquitoes are a nuisance day and night. “They’re aggressive biters,” he said. “Most mosquitoes here are nocturnal. The grass is growing like crazy since the rain. People are out doing yard work and they’ll be in the grass. If you disturb the grass they will attack you. They also like the shade of a tree canopy.” The mosquito control district has been receiving “a good number of calls” about the mosquitoes. Beebe said they live here too and they’re aware of the problem. These mosquitoes were first discovered in the south county marshes, rivers and waterways. Now, they have broken out and they have become a countywide problem. “We’re treating them with everything we’ve got — aerial and ground treatment,” he

Mark Terry, with TEPSA, said he visited OES last year and he knew he wanted to help the school. Cynthia Vetsch, vice president for human resources with Lifetouch, said the fourth-graders at OES were “very well mannered and their teachers and parents would be proud of them.” “I watched Hurricane Harvey on TV and I cried,” she said. “I got a call from Mr. Terry and I said our company was all in.” She encouraged the students to “Never stop reading!”

storm. It followed a 5-percent pay raise for non-union county employees, the third or fourth pay raise for the unelected employees since 2010. The 2018 pay raise, by position, offered county commissioners a salary of $72,800, a 15.3 percent raise, and the county judge a 22.9 percent raise to $105,040. But their offices didn’t get the biggest raises. Tax assessor-collector Karen Fisher saw her base salary jump from $63,118 to $78,000, a 24.1 jump. County treasurer Christy Khoury’s salary jumped 24 percent and district clerk Brandy Robertson saw her base pay rise 23.7 percent. The judge’s salary was set so high so it would be more than the $104,000 earned by Sheriff Keith Merrritt whose salary was upped to be more than his chief deputy, whose pay is subject to the deputies’ collective bargaining agreement. Neither of the outgoing commissioners, Barry Bur-

ton and Crump, accepted the 2018 pay increase, and neither did then-County Judge Stephen Brint Carlton. They said they would only take the raises if they won reelection this year. All three lost in the March Republican primary. Crooks announced when he took over for Carlton in May that he, too, would not accept the raise. Commissioners John Gothia and Johnny Trahan, who were then finishing up their first year on commissioners’ court, took their raises from $63,118 to $72,800. Crooks said he had been accused of “grandstanding” for taking minority positions the last couple of weeks but said he was merely being faithful to those who elected him by doing what he could to make good on issues he raised during his campaign against Carlton. Commissioners took no action on approving a 2019 budget, pending answers to questions about restricted funds.

water. “This is not a good time to be outside. Don’t go outside if you don’t have to,” Beebe said. “Use repellents. You can use protective clothing, but it’s so hot now I would rather dress in shorts and short sleeved shirts and use repellents. “We will get things under control. We’re seeing some drops in the numbers. People need to dump out water that has accumulated. The water will develop those type of containers.” On a brighter note, he believes the recent drier, hotter weather can only help control numbers. He expects better numbers by the end of the week. It was reported an adult female had a case of WNV earlier this year. Furthermore, two mosquito collections tested positive for WNV, but there’s no further indications of WNV at this time, he said.

40 Years Aago-1978

From The Creaux’s Nest ON A SAD NOTE Services for Constable David Cagle to be Held Most of the community who knew David Cagle, age 57, was shocked to learn of his death Sunday, September 16. He was too young to leave us. The Constable was a real buddy. He was a quite, somewhat shy guy, good natured. He was easy to pick at and I often did just to see him blush. He had an easy laughter and often laughed at himself. His quietness fooled a lot of people about his intelligence. I learned through discussions how very smart David was. His smarts were overloaded with common sense. I don’t know if that was natural or through his many years of law enforcement. I often asked him for advice about a subject or person. I never heard David say anything bad about anyone. The further he would go was, “I’d take him with a grain of salt.” He might say, “To me it seems something is not right about that.” Never really putting anyone down, leaving it up to you to make your own judgment. He was a regular at the Lunch Bunch and seldom missed. He loved the fellowship but he also liked eating. He was once a football star. I’d kid him and ask, “How fast could you do the 40 today?” Ironically, a couple of weeks ago, we talked about heart doctors. I told him I used Dr. Morbia. Someone had told him about another doctor. He died of a heart attack. I don’t know if he ever made it to a doctor. Others will write about him, or read about him in his obituary, but I just couldn’t pass up remembering my friend. I’ll miss the times he came by the office and all the times we visited. I had a lot of respect for that great guy. He and his brothers were raised on the corner of Blueberry and E. Roundbunch, in Bridge City, which I often mentioned when in a crowd. I’d tell about the address where the famous David and the Cagle brothers were raised. That always made him blush. He was married to Kathy, the sweetest, nicest lady you would ever hope to meet. My heart goes out to her and her family and to his brothers and their families for their terrific loss. Service will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday at North Orange Baptist Church. Visitation will be in Mauriceville, at First Baptist Church, Wednesday, 5 to 8 p.m. Rest in peace my friend.

The Race by Pearl Burgess

A turtle plodding down the road so slow Had joined the race, knowing where to go, Many passed him racing extremely fast But he kept on going, knowing he could last. The ones running fast lost energy and fell They received no honor, nor story to tell, But the turtle kept on his slow, moving pace At the end of the day, he had won the race. Is your life frustrated with many things to do Running to and fro just trying to get through? With time flying by you think you can’t stop Getting everything done before you drop. Slow down, enjoy life while you still can There are just a few years God gives to man, Take one step at a time and enjoy the view Don’t worry if others speed right past you. Be thankful for each and every new day Balance your time with both work and play, Remember the turtle, his slow steady pace Then at the end, you will win life’s race.

C’EST TOUT It was no surprise to me when Donald Trump said last week that he doesn’t like southerners. He said this about attorney general Jeff Sessions, “He’s a stupid Southerner who talks like he has marbles in his mouth. I don’t like their accent.” He thinks that we are all dumb because we are not all wealthy. This includes even his Bubba’s, who suckered into his con game. Remember, he said he would drain the swamp and replace them with good people. “I know all the best people and they are all wealthy.” Well, 25 of them are gone and many are going to the “Joint,” a bunch of thieves. According to Trump they are better than Southerners or the brown and black skinned people in Porto Rico. The people are going to speak up come November because they know today’s congress won’t step up and challenge all this crazy chaos. Trump’s approval is between 32 and 36 percent and 60 percent of voters say he’s doing a bad job, even in the Fox News poll.***** Two Texas senators on the committee to nominate Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, senators Cornyn and Cruz, are from the same party and will vote exactly the same. Half of Texas will not have a voice. That’s why it is always better to have a senator from each party. States are better served regardless of which party controls the White House. One should be a Republican, the other a Democrat.*****My time is up and I thank you for yours. Take care and God bless.

Deaths and Memorials David Allen Cagle, 57, Mauriceville

THREE-BEAN TURKEY CHILI I am really starting to place priorities on cooking healthier for my husband and me. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;erefore, I am using lots of poultry and ďŹ sh, staying away from beef, fried foods, desserts, and high cholesterol foods as much as possible. I am a diabetic, overweight, suďŹ&#x20AC;er from hypothyroidism, have asthma, and tolerate acid reďŹ&#x201A;ux disease. As my late parents used to say, "It is tough getting old." I will be 66 on November 16. As one of my former teachers in Oklahoma would say, "Dear Gussie!" How does time pass so quickly sometimes, but travels so slowly at other periods? Anyway, we wanted some chili this weekend since we are both such football fans, so I looked at numerous chili recipes, taking a little from this, a little from that, composing my own version. I will say that I drew a lot from the Food Network's Valerie Bertinelli's recipe named, î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ree Bean Turkey Chile. Val used to be on the old show, "One Day at a Time," a sitcom. Like some celebrities, she has found her niche cooking on her own show on î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e Food Network, besides writing cookbooks. It is what it is, so try this recipe. I think you will like it.

Equipment needed: Large pan w/lid, like Dutch oven pan Large cooking spoon Measuring spoons Measuring cup

Ingredients: (Do not drain anything.) 2 lbs ground turkey 2-15.5 oz cans Goya kidney beans 2-15 oz cans Goya black bean soup 1-15 oz can Ranch Style beans, reg. 1-4 oz can mild diced green chilis 1-6 oz can tomato paste 1-14.5 oz can diced petite tomatoes 4 Tbsp. Chili Powder 2 tsps. Ground Black Pepper 3 tsps. Natural Sea Salt 2 tsps. Celery Salt 2 tsps. Onion Powder 2 tsps. Onion Salt 4 Tbsp. Chopped Onion Flakes

If desired: 1 c. shredded cheese (for topping) 1 c. Sour Cream (for topping) Tortilla chips (for topping) Jalapenos (for topping)

Directions: Brown ground turkey in Dutch oven over medium low heat, stirring often. You do not need to drain meat. Turn oďŹ&#x20AC; the heat. Now, add all the other ingredients (cans and spices) to the cooked ground turkey. Remember to NOT drain any of the cans. Just mix it all together well. Turn the heat back on medium low to low heat. Keep stirring very often so mixture does not burn. Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream, jalapenos, and tortilla chips, if desired as toppings.

The ‘Fisherman’ Remembered Radio Legends

BBRCGone But Not Forgotten

Roy Dunn For e Record Richard passed away Sunday evening, Sept. 22. I first met him around 1954, when we were both youngsters. He worked at KOLE Radio in Port Arthur with Gordon Baxter and Les Ledet. Les and Bax were negotiating to buy the station. At the time, Richard went by the name of “Dick” Corder. Best I recall he attended Port Arthur College. Bax and Les bounced around between KOLE and KPAC, a station owned by Dr. Sam Monroe’s parents, and where Ed Lovelace worked. In the mid-50s, Ed, along with some Jewish friends, bought KOGT in Orange. Ed brought “Dick” to Orange to work at the station and in sales. Ed, of course, was the best promoter of all. He took that little AM station and some good talent and put the station on the map. In 1957, Bax got fired at KPAC and Ed brought him to Orange. Bax did the morning show from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. He broadcasted live from the Holly Motor Co. showroom, a Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth dealership where I was sales manager and Ted Wilkinson was general manager. It was located where a car wash is now. Bax had a large following of

advertisers and listeners but residents in south Jefferson County couldn’t catch the station. This caused problems. Bax left and went to Beaumont. For years the radio station was at 407 Tenth Street, then moved to an upstairs building downtown. Ed then built a station and a home for his brother next door at the present location. After that, Lovelace moved Richard into the early morning slot. Richard sold his own show. It became so popular that Ed sold spots on it also. Their only problem was Ed didn’t pay commission on those extra spots. Over the years however, Ed took care of Richard and he became the morning voice in the greater Orange area. The engineer at KOGT was Ed’s right hand man, Rev. Bob Simmons, who even followed Ed to his Beeville radio stations. Around 1965 Richard pioneered the broadcasting of Orange County High School football games. He followed Bridge City in their championship run in 1965 and in 1966; he broadcast their state championship game from Waco. At first he worked games

For years Richard wrote a “Let’s Go Fishing” column each week for our newspaper, the Opportunity Valley News. He spoke about the Bass clubs and individual fishermen and his fishing buddies. Among some still around are Troy Woodall and Judge Carl Thibodeaux.

When Lovelace sold the radio station to former governor Allen Shivers and his group, they brought in a guy named Bill Forte to run the station. His first move was to change Richard from morning to drive time, and then fire him. I contacted my friend Dewey “Teddy Bear” Cox and other business leaders to see if we could help save Richard’s job which he had been on 45 years.

OHS debaters fare well at West Hardin

“Teddy Bear,” a tough union business agent and negotiator, had me call Forte to come down to our OVN office. Cox started off real smooth, and then Forte, a nice enough guy, said the wrong thing and Cox dropped the hammer on him. I though he would never let up. I got to feeling sorry for Bill but before he left he had made a deal. \Richard was back on the air the next day and soon on morning drive time. He was

still on mornings when Stelly bought the station. In 2006 Richard suffered a stroke. He tried to come back but it just didn’t work. He had been in poor health since. He was at home when he passed away. Richard and I traveled a long way together. Of all the folks I’ve known, he was one of a kind. I call them special people I’ve met Down Life’s Highway.

THE RECORD

SPORTS AND OUTDOORS

GAMES THIS WEEK JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

Crosby over WOS Mustangs The Mustangs were hoping for a breather after being soundly defeated by Newton Friday night. But that’s not going to happen because undefeated Crosby is rated as the second-best Class 5A team in the Houston area. Crosby has defeated powerful Manvel, which slaughtered Sharpstown 67-0 Friday and is the No. 4 Class 5A school around Houston. As far as playing tough teams to get ready for district play, the Mustangs appear to have gone overboard in this category.

Vidor Pirates Over LCM Bears Things don’t get any easier for the Battlin’ Bears, who host the undefeated Vidor Pirates Friday night. LCM has had trouble lighting the scoreboard and with Vidor’s staunch defense, the Bears may have to wait another week for that.

Silsbee Tigers Over BC Cardinals The Cards got off the “schneide” last week with their 13-6 victory over Anahuac, but things will be much tougher this week against Silsbee (03), which may be the best winless team in the state.

Bridge City’s Andy Lara did the heavy hauling, gaining 122 yards on 24 carries, including a six-yard TD on the first BC possession of the night. The Cardinals defeated Anahuac 13-6. On Friday the Cardinals host the Silsbee Tigers. RECORD PHOTO: Lisa Anderson

Improving Cardinals working toward district Dave Rogers

For The Record

The homefield was sweet for Bridge City last week and the Cardinals are looking for more dessert Friday when they host a winless Silsbee team. “We just want to get better each week, and we’ve done it,” Cardinals’ head coach Andy DeShazo said after the team’s first victory of the season, 13-6 over Anahuac last week. BC, 1-2 overall, suffered tough

road losses at Diboll and Jasper to open the season. “It really started in the second half against Jasper,” the coach said of the Cards’ improvement. “Our execution got a lot better. I don’t know if switches went off, but that’s when we got a lot better.” With only five returners on offense and four on defense from last year’s 1-7 squad, putting together the right chemistry was expected to be an ongoing process. Last week, the Redbird defense and wet ground combined to slow

down the visiting Panthers after Anahuac took a shocking 6-0 lead on its first play from scrimmage. A blocked extra point began what was a 47-minute shutout for the BC “D”. Operating out of their traditional Slot-T offense and split-six defense, the Cardinals proceeded to outgain the Panthers 295 yards to 185. Andy Lara did the heavy hauling, gaining 122 yards on 24 carries, including a six-yard TD on the first BC possession of the night.

Oscar Carranza’s extra point created the first Cardinal advantage of the season and the sophomore kicker added two field goals – of 25 and 32 yards – to make it 13-6 at the half. A 39-yard pass from Cace Skinner to Rylan Ply with 1 second left on the second-quarter clock set up Carranza’s second three-pointer. It was BC’s only pass of the game. Ply topped 100 yards in yards from scrimmage when by rushing FOOTBALL Page 3B

Dewyville Pirates Over Evadale This could be a high-scoring game with both teams playing well and scoring enough points to win. The Pirates (2-1) will have to stiffen up their defense if they want to stop the visiting Rebels (2-0).

Chester Over Community Christian The Lions need to look good this week and next to get ready for the tough four-game district schedule.

Lamar Cardinals Over Southeastern La.

Let’s hope the Cardinals don’t wait until they’re 28 points behind to start playing the brand of football they’re capable of. Northwestern State finally edged past Lamar 49-48 in a slugfest. But these Lions aren’t going to sit dormant and allow the Redbirds to score 28 straight points.

BYU Over McNeese Cowboys Although the Cowboys are undefeated in Southland Conference play after beating Nicholls State 20-10 Saturday night, BYU is No. 25 in the AP Poll this week after the Cougars just got through knocking off Wisconsin--the No. 5 team in the nation--and shouldn’t be too worried about the Cowboys coming to Provo, Utah on Saturday. This appears to be another “sacrificial lamb” game for McNeese to fatten the athletic department’s wallet.

Now, this is a tasty Plan B!

DICKIE COLBURN FISHING REPORT FOR THE RECORD

“A fly rod works great, but it’s a little too tight for a back cast,” said Kyle Easley as he lifted the tip of his 12-foot fiberglass crappie pole just high enough for the cork and eighteen inches of leader to clear the water. Attached to the business end was a one-eighth ounce chartreuse curly tail jig tipped with a tiny piece of a scented Magic Fish Bite slipped on the hook. “I cut them in half,” said Easley, “and a piece usually lasts about fifteen fish if a grinnel or bass doesn’t get it.” His small torpedo shaped cork landed beside the partially submerged cypress knee and instantly plunged beneath the surface as if the tiny lure was much too heavy. e fight was brief, but successful as he deftly swung another hand sized goggle-eye over the side of his aluminum boat. “Not a bad Plan B when you are worried about the weather and nothing else is biting,” said the retired pipe line welder. “Do you think it is more fun to catch them yourself or just wait for me to bring you another bag of fillets?” It was a question that he already knew the answer to prior to even asking. Between the two of us we would drop our jigs five more times in the small clump of cypress knees and boat four more fish before moving on. “I found this little aluminum boat after Ike, welded up a hole or two and it works just perfect for this kind of fishing.” It was obvious that he had missed a hole or two, thus the reason for the Folgers coffee can floating in the bottom of the boat. e boat was powered by a 1985 9.8 Mercury and our troll motor was a paddle with a cut off handle. We were well back into an isolated cut off the Sabine River that necessitated the smaller craft. A scorching sun wasn’t even a consideration under the canopy of stately cypress trees, but the trip would have been a short one had we forgotten the mosquito spray. Keeping an eye out for red wasp nests hidden beneath the overhanging palmettos was a good idea as well. While the accommodations may sound a little crude, the reward was well worth the minimal discomfort.When we slid the boat back in the bed of his

truck just before noon, his styrofoam cooler was half full of chunky big m o u t h bream. e best part of the trip took place that night as we shared stories and ate our way through fried fillets, onion rings and homemade hushpuppies. ey tasted even better knowing that I had four more bags of fillets in the freezer! Easley’s technique for capturing these delightful fish is simple, but effective. No fancy equipment, no casting and for his needs, no reel. “I know that I am going to need no more than six or seven feet of line, so I just tie the end of the mono below the fourth eye on the rod.” It doesn’t get much simpler or more effective than that. “Everyone is just crazy about how well our bass fishing has rebounded, but I was much happier to see these little critters show up again as well,” remarked Easley. “My granddaughter fishes with me every Sundayafter church if it isn’t raining and she just loves catching them.She’s not old enough for boyfriends yet, but they won’t last long if they don’t like to fish.” Outside of a funeral, I can’t think of any good reasons for a parent or guardian not to take a youngster fishing for half a day on October 13th. e S.A.L.T. Club is hosting their fourth annual Kids tournament for youngsters ages 3 to 16. ere will be three different age divisions and the first five places in each division will be rewarded. ere is no entry fee and you can fish anywhere you want as long as you are at the weigh-in before 11. While prizes are being handed out they will be serving hotdogs and cokes, so lunch is taken care of as well! e most coveted prize of all is a drawing for a Lifetime Fishing License provided by Dawn Jones at ReMax 1. Every youngster that enters a catch will be eligible to win. First place winners in each division will receive a $50 check and rod and reel courtesy of Shell. Ancelet’s Marina is providing the food. e weigh-in will take place at the S.A.L,T. Clubhouse on Pleasure Island.Fishing and winning with the kids doesn’t get much easier than this!

Experimental mule deer antler restriction regs take effect this season Hunters pursuing mule deer this fall in Briscoe, Childress, Cottle, Floyd, Hall, and Motley counties will be required to comply with a new antler restriction regulation that prohibits harvest of any mule deer buck with a main beam outside spread of less than 20 inches. e Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is implementing the new experimental regulation with the goal of improving buck age structure and sex ratios in these counties by reducing excessive hunting pressure on younger bucks. A similar antler restriction for whitetailed deer has been in place for a number of years in other parts of the state, and has successfully shifted the age class structure toward older bucks. Mule deer archery-only season in the antler restriction counties occurs Sept. 29 – Nov. 2, with the general ﬁrearm season occurring Nov. 17 – Dec. 2. Information about hunting licenses can be found online. To protect young bucks, TPWD has set the minimum legal outside spread of the main beams at 20 inches based upon many years of harvest data. In other words, any buck having main beams with an outside spread smaller than 20 inches is NOT legal to harvest. Additionally, any buck with at least one unbranched antler (e.g., spike) is NOT legal to harvest, unless the outside spread of the main beams is 20 inches or more in width. Based upon data collected by TPWD, the average ear-tip to ear-tip spread of 2 ½ to 8 ½+ year old mule deer bucks with ears in the alert position is about 21 inches. is information on ear-tip to ear-

tip measurement can be a useful guide to mule deer hunters attempting to field-judge mule deer bucks with at least a 20inch main beam outside spread. e experimental antler restriction will be conducted for four hunting seasons. TPWD wildlife officials will collect age and antler measurements at voluntary hunter-harvest check stations to assess the effects of the regulation on buck age structure. Annual aerial surveys will be used to document sex ratios.

Steel Curtain crumbling ... ... and Doomsday Defense returning? KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR

FOR THE RECORD After only two weeks, it’s difﬁcult to verify new trends that seem to be evident so far in the National Football League. However, I’ve seen quite a few games in the last two weeks and have closely followed many franchises and have come to the conclusions that many of the teams that usually wereas in the top echelon of their division have already taken it on the chin. I’m referring to the World Champion Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots just to name a few. Of course, at this time of the season most teams are at full strength and their starting 22 players are probably nearly as talented as the perennial winners. But these better teams earn their money with more talent in the lower parts of their depth charts. Franchises are quicker to replace their head coach and to trade away impact players like their starting quarterback, ﬁeld goal kicker or hot-shot pass catcher than in years gone by. A good example is the Kansas City Chiefs, who in my opinion, have a football genius in Andy Reid, who has been successful wherever he worked as the head coach. After not having as successful season as expected before last year, he dumped starting quarterback Alex Smith and put all his faith in 22-year-old Pat Mahomes of Texas Tech. And Mahomes didn’t disappoint as he started his career by connecting on 10 touchdown passes and leading Kansas City to two convincing victories, including a 42-37 win over the Steelers in Pittsburgh, throwing

six touchdowns which tied a team record. Pittsburgh, w h i c h o b o a s t e d about its Steel Curtain defense for so many years, has yet to win a game and has surrendered 63 points in two games. I believe that one of the reasons the Steelers have had so many points scored against them is the absence of holdout running back Le’Veon Bell. Without their All-Pro back, nobody respects the run and defends the pass on every play. Quarterback Ben Roethlis-

berger can’t lead a sustained drive that gives the defense a chance to rest and consequently the players are on the field 75 per cent of the time. And at this time of the year, they are bushed in the second half and give up big plays to the opposition. Several teams such as the Miami Dolphins, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals are off to flying starts, mainly because their defenses have improved immensely. Tampa Bay was forced to use 35-year-old veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick due to the four-game suspension of Jameis Winston and he responded by picking apart Philadelphia’s

vaunted defense for 402 passing yards, completing 27 of 32 aerials and winning 27-21. e 24-year-old Winston, who always seems to be in some kind of off-field trouble, may have a hard time getting his job back. He should just sit back and watch how a real pro quarterback conducts himself on and off the field. And closer to home, a muchimproved defensethis also is true with the Dallas Cowboys, who had a dominating performance at home Sunday night in A T &T Stadium in Arlington against their nemesis New York Giants. e Pokes won 20-13 in a

Additionally, the seldom-seen ground-oriented Slot-T is tough for opponents to prepare for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard for other teams to simulate in practice,â&#x20AC;? DeShazo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it very often.â&#x20AC;? As for Silsbee, the Card coach says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some explosive guys, but if we can do our job, we can make it a very, very competitive game.â&#x20AC;?

Last week, it was defending Class 3A state champion Newton winning 21-7 to leave WOS 1-2 overall. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e 3-0 Eagles outgained WOS by more than 100 yards, 323-221, and gained nearly twice as many yards per play, 5.9 to 3.7. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e winners set up their ďŹ rst score with a wild play, a 54-yard gainer, when Josh Fosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pass was fumbled by receiver Tamauzia Brown and teammate Kevin Watson advanced it 40 more yards. It gave Newton a 7-0 halftime lead. Foster threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Brown midway through the third quarter and upped its lead to 21-0 on a 95yard breakaway run by Darwin Barlow with 8:25 left to play. WOS got on the board on a 24-yard pass from Tyrone Wilson to Jayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;zn Robinson with 2:24 to go. Wilson completed 5 of 11 passes for 91 yards while teamLiberty 55, Livingston 0 Lumberton 54, Hou.

Teal hunters find out ‘rice is nice’

OUTDOORS WEEKLY CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE FOR THE RECORD

Saturday morning’s early teal season opener began with plenty of odds stacked against most hunters in our area but that fact did not dampen the enthusiasm associated with the opportunity to shoot ducks. Many local hunters actually began to camp out at some of the local public hunting areas on ursday in hopes of ensuring a prized location for Saturday morning. I must admit, even though I love to hunt teal that I am not mad enough at them to sleep on the road 2 days before a hunt. Regardless of how you got there Saturday morning it was nice to be back in the field with a shotgun in your hand and the opportunity to hunt ducks. Going into the opening weekend there were 2 very distinct groups of hunters, the ones who would be hunting rice fields and those who would not. e hunters fortunate enough to be overlooking a fresh cut tract of rice on Saturday morning could certainly smile through the dense populations of mosquitoes and hot temperatures because there were plenty of teal to take your mind off the buzzing and the sweat dripping from your forehead. If you happened to be hunting the marsh you had the same conditions to deal with minus the numbers of teal. Overall the hunters who took to the local marshes struggled while the folks in the rice fields burned it up. All along the coastal prairies the highest numbers of blue winged teal reported prior to the opener came from either freshwater locations or agricultural fields. e saltwater marshes from Winnie over to the east side of Lake Charles were nearly void of any teal leading up to the opener

on Saturday. e lack of huntable numbers of birds kept many hunters at home over the weekend while only the die hards braved the less than desirable conditions. e combinations of high temps, constant storms building up oﬀ of the coast, and a lack of wind did little to help out those hunters in the coastal marshes. Easily the best reports and results came from the prairies as many hunters took longer setting out decoys than shooting their limits. As expected the best reports were from hunters on the west side of Houston in areas like Wharton, Matagorda, and Eagle Lake. Also to the east in Louisiana in Welsh, Klondike, Lake Arthur and Gueydan reported quick limits and plenty of birds. To say the weekends opening results were a case of the “haves and have nots” would be an understatement. Looking ahead there is at least some hope on the horizon for all the hunters as the full moon in September will be here on the 24th and that should certainly help usher in a number of birds. The full moon contributes to the migration as a majority of the birds do most of their traveling at night and then rest or feed during the daylight hours. Teal fly great distances and early migrators are often very difficult to keep track of as they are truly “here today and gone tomorrow”. Early last week there were areas in both Texas and Louisiana that were packed full of birds on Monday and Tuesday. On Saturday those same birds were sipping margaritas in Mexico as they had left seemingly overnight for their wintering destinations leaving many hunters scratching their heads and scurrying for another plan. There is no doubt that the largest part of the teal migration has yet to happen so the hopes of all waterfowl hunters are still high. Hopefully the numbers of birds coming into our area will build as the week progresses and the success rates for all the hunters will increase by next weekend and throughout the rest of this early season.

Orange County Church Directory

God’s Surprising Plans for Your Good Ben Stuart Pastor, Washington, D.C. desiringGod.org Why does God allow trouble to plague his people? How can it be considered loving for him to permit trials to run wild in our lives? I gained fresh insight into these questions while watching a spellbinding four-minute video called “How Wolves Change Rivers.” A slightly too exuberant, yet delightfully British narrator recounts the changes that resulted from the entrance of a pack of wolves into the ecosystem of Yellowstone National Park. It turns out that deer overpopulation had left massive portions of the park barren. Constant grazing had turned valleys into wastelands. The lack of vegetation had caused soil erosion, which destabilized the banks of the river, slowing the flow of water. The lack of sufficient water and vegetation, in turn, forced wildlife to move on. In short, life was fading from the park. Then a pack of wolves moved in. Do you think it would be life-enhancing for a pack of predators to be released into a national park? I imagine your initial response would be, like mine, “No, that sounds terrible.” But it turns out that it was the best thing that could have happened.

Wolves and a World of Good The wolves predictably killed a few deer, thinning out the population. However, that was not the most significant change. The remaining deer were forced to move to higher terrain and abandon the grasslands of the valleys. These areas that had been mown down for so long then began to regrow at an accelerated rate. Aspen trees quintupled in size in less than six years. This growth brought back birds to nest in the branches and beavers to eat the wood. The return of

duce his best for us.

Count It All Joy

the beavers meant the return of beaver dams, which created pools that allowed for the repopulation of fish, otters, ducks, muskrats, reptiles, and amphibians. The wolves also cleared out some of the coyotes, which caused rabbits and mice to return. This change led to the return of hawks, weasels, foxes, and badgers. Yet the most amazing impact occurred in the river itself. Because grasses were allowed to regrow, the soil collapsed less, allowing for firmer riverbanks. Which gave the river flow greater direction, which reinforced the animal habitats. In short, the entrance of a few wolves created a whole world of good in Yellowstone National Park, transforming wastelands into lush valleys teeming with life. So, it turns out that the best thing to do to promote life was to release a few wolves into the valley.

Difficulty Brings Blessing Why mention all of these phenomena? Try for a moment to imagine a board meeting where, after hearing desperate pleas for help to save the aspen trees of Yellowstone, a park ranger responded by saying, “I’ll tell you what will ensure reforestation: a few more wolves around here!” Would anyone have taken him seriously?

Church of God in Christ 2800 Bob Hall Road • Orange • 886-4366 Pastor: Ernest B Lindsey

In the same way, I think we would accuse God of being insane if, in response to our cries for greater intimacy with our spouse, greater fruit in our ministries, or greater closeness to him, we heard him say, “You want more life? I’ll tell you what will give it: a medical emergency. Or losing your job. Or a car accident.” We would think he was out of his mind. But search your past and tell me if it isn’t true: Often the introduction of something difficult, and even dangerous, into our lives by the hand of God results in unanticipated, yet undeniable growth. Difficulty brings blessing. Hardship brings joy. Wolves change rivers. This reality does not mean we should court danger. What it does mean, however, is that we should pause before we accuse God of injustice or indifference when he allows hardship to enter our lives. It just might be the best thing for us. In fact, for those who love him, and are called according to his purposes, it will be his working to pro-

James certainly thought so. In James 1:2–4 he went so far as to say, “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” James was so certain that the introduction of difficulty into our lives carries the potential to bring blessing that he called us to rejoice, not only after the trial has ended, but even while we are still in it. Which does not mean we need to pretend that difficulties are pleasant. They are not. Nor does it mean we should not pray to be delivered from, or seek to remove, hardships from our lives. Both are permissible. However, we gain much hope from this realization: Often our loving God sees that bringing something unpleasant into our lives will lead to a thousand good consequences. Therefore, as a good caretaker of our souls, he will allow wolves to enter for a season. So, when hardships come, we can cease shaking our fist and yelling at God, and instead lean into him and listen. He is good. He does care. He works all things together for the good of his children — even the arrival of wolves. Ben Stuart (@Ben_Stuart_) is in the process of planting Passion City Church in Washington, D.C.

Public Service Curriculum

his month, Bridge City High School highlights its career and technical education (“CTE” ) programs. The mission of the Bridge City High School CTE program is to equip students with real world, career ready skills, and prepare them for success in their chosen career or post-secondary education. In 2013, the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 5, which radically overhauled graduation requirements for Texas high school students. More specifically, House Bill 5 created endorsements which are essentially the equivalent of college majors. High school students in Texas can now choose from one of the five following endorsements: 1. Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (“STEM”) 2. Public Service 3. Arts and Humanities 4. Business and Industry 5. Multidisciplinary studies. In an effort to implement the provisions of House Bill 5, and to better serve our students, Bridge City High School has greatly expanded its CTE class offerings. Bridge City High School currently offers CTE courses in every endorsement area. Students at BCHS can pursue career education in Health Science, Law and Public Service, Welding, Engineering, Cosmetology, Information Technology, Art, Dance, Music and BCTV.
