Waste water and garbage rates going up in Bridge City David Ball

For The Record

Waste service fees in Bridge City will be going up. The Bridge City City Council approved increasing the sewer rate by $1.50 on minimum usage and a 4 percent increase in the garbage rate at their regular meeting on Tuesday night. Councilman Carl Harbert asked if the increase was due to improvements made at the sewer plant. City Manager Jerry Jones said the work at the sewer plant was covered by a bond issue. “The budget last year was water. This year the budget is about sewer,” Jones said. He added that it’s been a few years since the city increased rates. Garbage rates

increased because collection companies charge a percentage for pickup. On the sewer side, the rate inJones creased because of the amount of testing occurring that made costs rise. Jones said this increase won’t even cover the costs of testing. The Council also approved an interlocal agreement between Bridge City and Orange County for the joint procurement of goods and services. Jones said this is for debris pickup from Hurricane/ Tropical Storm Harvey so the county can get their money back.

“FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) accepts a bid for the entire county,” he said. “We’re responsible for the part we picked up in Bridge CIty and we can piggyback on that. They will reimburse back to Bridge City and reimburse back to Orange County.”

Councilwoman Lucy Fields asked if the interlocal agreement was budgeted. Jones said things like this can’t be budgeted in advance of a storm. In other Council business, Jones said the sewer line project in the city has been delayed because of excessive

rainfall. The city has been receiving information about a Harvey home buyout program “in bits and pieces.” He will meet with the buyout administrator on Wednesday to gather more information and report back to the Council on how they would like to

put it together. Jones said he’s still waiting to hear back from Action Engineering of Port Arthur on a drainage study for the city. Harbert asked if there’s a list of streets to be repaired. Jones said the city will tie in BRIDGE CITY Page 3A

Jesus said in Matthew 25:35-36: “’for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’” The volunteers of the Bridge City-Orangefield Ministerial Alliance have taken those words to heart by ministering to the community for nearly 20 years. Nineteen years to be precise, according to Director Melissa Isaacs. “We have a food bank. We get food from the Southeast Texas Food Bank and we

also buy locally from Walmart, Market Basket and The Dollar Tree,” she said. “Our biggest ministry is the pantry. We give food out to all of Orange County once a month. We’re open on Monday and Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.” The Alliance also give financial assistance for emergency crisis situations, such as utilities or rent, for residents who live in the Bridge City-Orangefield area. For Thanksgiving, food baskets are given to the elderly. Certain rules apply in the baskets distribution. They can also help with clients’ medications.

County lifts off into airport business Dave Rogers

For The Record

There were few busier places last fall than the Orange County Airport. In response to Tropical Storm Harvey’s devastation of Southeast Texas, the onerunway, three-hangar airport was home to 200 National Guardsmen and handled 2.8 million pounds of water, snacks, baby supplies and other disaster supplies. Several C-130 cargo planes and a fleet of military Chinook helicopters shuttled through the airport home to bring the needed goods.

That doesn’t count the many private planes that flew in supplies from religious groups and other Good Samaritans. Orange County leaders wish to see the airport busy again, but for all the right reasons. “I don’t think a lot of people realize how significant a role this airport plays for disaster relief, business attraction and agricultural operations,” said Missy Pillsbury, the county’s airport administrator. Pillsbury has been at the ORANGE COUNTY Page 3A

Sheriff’s deputy Jones named Pct. 2 constable Dave Rogers

For The Record

Orange County Commissioners and a courtroom full of well-wishers were certain Tuesday that they had the right man for the job. Mark Jones, a Mauriceville native and longtime Orange County sheriff’s deputy, was appointed by a 5-0 vote to take over as Precinct 2 constable, effective next Monday. A 1983 graduate of Little Cypress-Mauriceville High School, Jones will fill the job left vacant by the recent death of David Cagle. “We hate that we’re here doing this,” Precinct 2 Commissioner Barry Burton began.

“We lost a great civil servant in David Cagle. But I think we’ve got someone in

Mark Jones that can step into that position and carry on that type of legacy.”

Jones has served with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office since 1990, all in the Patrol Division. The sergeant says he’s been in a supervisory position for about half of his service. “I’ve known David for many, many years,” Jones said of Cagle. “He’s going to be missed. “It’s just an honor for the Commissioners’ Court to select me for the position. I can’t think them enough.” All four Orange County constables next stand for election in 2020. Jones said it was too early to say if he expected to run for a full fouryear term then. “Let me see how I like this,” he said. “My original plan

was to retire from the Sheriff’s Office in 2020. But if I really like this, I might ask the people of Precinct 2 to re-elect me.’’ County Judge Dean Crooks said in a recent court meeting that he would ask the other three constables, David Philpott, Chris Humble and Lane Mooney, for their recommendations and thoughts on the process. Commissioner John Gothia allowed Tuesday that one or more of the suggested replacements were ineligible for the position because they did not reside within Precinct 2. Precinct 2 runs from the Newton county line to the southwestern side of Vidor

and encompasses the City of Pinehurst. Jones wrote a letter to Judge Crooks and the four commissioners expressing his interest in the job. “I was actually glad that we had someone come from our local law enforcement that was interested in that,” Commissioner John Gothia said. “I like to have people come from within, so it was good when he did that. “And once Jones’ name came up, all of them kind of fell in behind him with support. Everybody was positive about it, so it made me feel better.” Jones said he would be getCOUNTY BUSINESS Page 3A

Orange County Airport center of a massive change in the county’s participation in the airport. Sabine Aviation, which had for many years run the airport as the county’s hired Fixed Base Operator, chose not to renew its contract, and the county has been slowly taking charge. As of the beginning of the 2019 Fiscal Year, which began Monday, it’s all up to the county now. The 2019 budget adopted last week by county commissioners noted an actual county expenditure of $65,000 on the airport in 2018 and projected more than six times that, $398,000, for 2019. “We approved an additional person, buying a tractor, some additional equipment,” said Commissioner John Gothia, whose Precinct 3 offices are at the airport on Highway 87. “We bought some equipment which was a one-time deal. We bought some office furniture with last year’s budget, just things that needed to be upgraded.” Among the many things needed to take over the operation was a tractor and a couple of huge new fuel tanks. The county is leasing a fuel truck to shuttle between the fuel tanks and the airplanes. “It’s tough to make money in an airport, and our airport was in a position where we needed improvements made out there, by them [Sabine Aviation] or us,” Gothia said. “I don’t think they had any

For instance, every child in either the Bridge City or Orangefield school districts and are low income get toys, clothes and shoes for Christmas for their parents to pick up.

for replacing them with modern construction. Homeowners north of I-10 say the 40-year-old bridges were poorly designed and cause their homes to flood with waters backed up by the bridges. Tom Clary, organizer of the citizen movement, says State Rep. Dade Phelan told him many months ago that

the Texas Department of Transportation’s plans were to remove the bridges with the project widening I-10. Clary says TxDOT is telling no decision has been made. Tuesday’s action by commissioners would include the county’s letter of support to a package of reports and documentation Clary’s group is sending to Phelan, U.S. Rep. Brian Babin and Texas Gov.

happened after Hurricane Ike. “The Alliance flooded then (after Ike),” she said. “Thankfully we weren’t hurt this time.” Isaacs said a really neat thing in the aftermath of Harvey was Houston Texans player and NFL Man of the Year award winner, J.J. Watt, whose foundation donated two freezers, a desktop computer, two rolling shelves and a printer to the Alliance. The Alliance is supported by 19 churches in Bridge City and Orangefield. Pastors serve on the board of directors for the Alliance and they send people in need their way. Isaacs said they average around 40 volunteers, but they could always use more. “Men volunteers are a huge need, especially in our warehouse,” she said. The Alliance is currently collecting funds for a new building and they are taking donations, Isaacs said.

interest in moving in that direction. They weren’t making any money. “So I think it worked out in both our favor. We’re going to operate the airport. We’re going to bring in the money to improve it.” Pillsbury said the county bought the airport from the Edgar Brown Family in 1973 and built the current terminal in 2001. There was one hangar and four grass runways in 1973. There was a paved 3,800foot runway, too. Since then, the runway has been extended to 5,000 feet, which is big enough for planes of 49 to 78 feet in wingspan, weighing up to 27,000 pounds. “We have jets in here all the time,” said Pillsbury, listing some of the regulars. “TxDOT, Cecil Atkission, International Paper, First Financial Bank, they all fly in,” she said. A county employee since 2001, Pillsbury started as a tax office clerk, moved up to supervisor there. In 2014, she was named the county’s risk management coordinator and airport supervisor. From 2015 to 2017, she also served as emergency management coordinator. “It requires a lot of multitasking,” Pillsbury said of the multiple titles. “It can be a little overwhelming at times and you have to prioritize.” Among other things, the price of fuel at the airport has negatively affected business over the years, Pillsbury

and Gothia said. “Our airport used to do about 40,000 gallons of fuel [per year] and it’s down to doing 4,000,” Gothia said. “That tells us we didn’t have the airport traffic we used to.” Veteran pilots griped that they could get fuel for as much as a dollar per gallon cheaper at other nearby airports. “He [Sabine Aviation] had to charge extra trying to make his business profitable, but that also drove some business away,” Gothia said. “Some of our local pilots would fly from here to another airport to get fuel and then fly on to where their destination was. That was another thing for pilots who weren’t local. If they’re going to land at another field to get fuel, then they’re going to stay there. “We still have a number of people flying in to our plants but they’re flying in somewhere else and they’re driving over here. That means they’re spending money wherever they’re landing at, in those restaurants, in those hotels.” Pillsbury said airport traffic was up 30 percent since the changeover began. “The idea is the residual value that we’re going to get off of our airport being fully operational and upgraded a little bit is where we’re going to see the net profit,” Gothia said.

40 Years Ago-1978

From The Creaux’s Nest THOMAS IS TOO GOOD—HE’LL BE BACK What was a serious fear for ‘Home Boy’ Earl Thomas came to past on Sunday when the Seahawks safety broke his leg. Thomas had pushed for a contract extension. His contract was set to expire at the end of the season. He begged to be traded. After holding out in pre-season, he returned without financial security. As they carted him away, he raised a middle finger towards the sideline at the decision makers who had declined an extension or to trade him. Earl’s season is over and most likely parting of the ways with the franchise he helped reach ‘back to back’ Super Bowls and a Super Bowl title in 2013. He’ll recover and head to free agency. He was playing as well and hard as he had ever played. He appeared to be auditioning. If he recovers he will still be one of the top safeties but after back to back leg injuries, he might have lost a step. The situation he finds himself in will coast him millions. He would have been better off to have shot the bird to the organization at the start of the season, forgone his salary, sat the season out then sold himself on the free market. It has been reported that the Cowboys and the Chiefs had been talking to Seattle about dealing for Thomas but the Seahawks, as a bonus, wanted a second-round draft choice. That put the trade out of reach for both teams. My guess is that the former West Orange-Stark grad will be back on the field somewhere next season. He will have to prove himself and that will trim his pay check. Earl is a competitor, a winner and as good as they come at what he does. My bet is we will be singing his praises when he again shines over the next few years. I doubt it will be with Dallas or Kansas City.*****I have to move on or I’ll be looking for a job. Come along, it won’t do you no harm.

‘BARN BURNER’ KAVANAUGH SAGA CONTINUES This week the FBI is investigating allegations of sexual assault and misconduct charges against Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh. The FBI was given only one week to come up with a report. Majority leader McConnell vowed there would be a vote before week’s end on the confirmation. The inquiry has been shifting directives. The Senate says one thing, the White House another. Kavanaugh has portrayed himself as a young man dedicated to school work, basketball and church, who sometimes drank too many beers. Numerous Yale classmates recall him as a heavy drinker who would become belligerent. If he drank too much in high school or college is not the issue. If he misled senators under oath will become the issue on deciding if he’s fit to be on the Supreme Court or not. My take, after observing people for many years with drinking problems or recovering alcoholics, I have found that most have the same MO, they all require plenty of something to drink. They down lots of water, gallons of coffee and always have something to drink at their reach. Kavanaugh downed at least eight bottles of water in a few hours. Also noticeable is the complexion in people who drink heavily, for a longtime, is that they often are red faced. I don’t know if the Judge is a drunk but he sure looks it. What bothers me is his temperament and partisan attitude. He’s not on the court yet and he’s blaming Democrats as well as Hillary Clinton for his own problems. They had nothing to do with what he is accused of doing to young females. Another thing a Supreme Court justice is expected to be cool under pressure. He is not; even lashing out at a lady senator. Big boys don’t cry, another weakness I found in people with drinking problems. Kavanaugh could barely keep the tears away throughout the hearing. Regardless of what the FBI report finds, I am convinced this guy is not fit to sit in judgment of others on the highest court in the land. He would be making decisions that affect our grandchildren and great-grandchildren for a lifetime. The Supreme Court is one we all looked up to. It will be tainted if this guy is confirmed. People for years would be suspect of any decision he made. He has too many skeletons. He will never gain respect. We can do better. There are good, conservative judges without the baggage and the right sober temperament.

Ten years ago, Cimron Campbell was the only Republican to be elected to a county office. He served as JP, Pct. 2. Today, all elected officials in Orange County are Republican, forced to switch because of straight party voting. My bet is the majority are not Trumpers They rode the tide against Obama on straight party voting.*****From time to time Sen. Robert Nichols pops in unexpectedly.

I’ve got bumps and dings and scratches in my finish, my paint job is more dan a little dull. Dat’s not da worst of it no, my headlights dem are out of focus, my traction is not as graceful as it once was, I slip and slide and skid and bump into tings. My white-walls are cracked and spotted, my fluids need changing, my fuel filter needs a flush and we won’t even discuss my upholstery. Tee-Neg, here’s da worst, almost every time I sneeze, cough or laugh me, eiter my radiator leaks or my exhaust it backfires. Utterwise, I’m doing OK me. Signed Clovis.

C’EST TOUT

THE TED/BETO BATTLE FOR TEXAS VOTERS Texas Republicans are looking to re-elect Sen. Ted Cruz with the help of Straight Party voting. It’s a practice that’s going out of style. Texas is one of only eight states with Straight-Party voting and that will stop after this election. That practice has helped Republicans sweep statewide elections over the past two decades. That’s what Cruz is counting on in his hot race against Congressman Beto O’Rourke. Cruz is reaching for the party line, the Trump base, rather than relying on swing voters. He’s betting on straight party base voters. Last Saturday, on a wet, muddy night, thousands of fans screamed for O’Rourke. They had waited for hours standing in the mud and rain waiting to hear a U.S. senatorial candidate speak. O’Rourke delivered a stump speech brimming with his trademark optimism. Willie Nelson, along with soul singer Leon Bridges, Joe Ely, Carrie Rodriguez and Tameca Jones preformed at the free concert but the crowd had come to hear and see Beto. He briefly joined Willie to sing, “On the Road Again.” Beto has visited all 254 Texas counties. The Austin Statesman reported Beto was the most popular celebrity on the stage. Nelson has written a song for Beto inspired by the young candidate. “If you don’t like who’s in there” vote ‘em out, vote ‘em out, and when they’re gone we’ll sing and dance and shout. We’ll bring new ones in and we’ll start the show again, and if you don’t like who’s in there, vote them out.” O’Rourke has been compared to Sen. John McCain, with his straight talk and putting country before party. Experts agree, he’s an ideal choice to represent Texas in the senate, giving the state a senator from each party. He and Republican Senator John Cornyn are already sponsoring legislation together. Experts also say it’s an uphill climb for O’Rourke because of name ID. Does he have enough money and time to gain the recognition he needs. Beto is depending on moderate Republicans, Independents and Democrats. Will enough turn out to overcome Cruz’s Straight Party vote and the Trump endorsement? Cruz, as an incumbent, has the upper hand but young Beto O’Rourke is on his heels and he’s gathered many swing voters along the way, many are bipartisan.*****Thanks for your time. Take care and God bless all of you.

Teacher, said, “Adriana Francis may be quiet, but she is spectacular public speaker. As her Professional Communications instructor, I enjoyed listening to Adriana's presentations and speeches. She is a natural and I hope she pursues a career that involves communication!” Misty Bellard, Technology Teacher, said, “Adriana Francis is one of the sweetest, hardest working students at OHS. She is a joy to have in the classroom because she always has a smile on her face. She has high hopes and big plans for her future. I

know she will accomplish great things.” Simone Oregel, Math Teacher, said, “Adriana is a very sweet hard working student. I enjoyed having her last year and I look forward to seeing great mathematical achievement from her this year in AP Calculus.” Adriana plans on attending one of the service academies, preferably the United States Air Force Academy, where she will work towards a Bachelor of Science while serving in our Air Force.

Shannon King, Social Studies Teacher, said, “Madison Day is a wonderful student and I have enjoyed having her in my Social Studies classes over the last three years. Madison realizes that success can only be obtained through hard work and by approaching each task with a positive attitude. However what impresses me most about Madison is her awesome videography work. Madison is so creative and possesses the ability to enthrall audiences with the films she has created bragging on the community and the schools of Bridge City. Equally impressive to me is Madison’s willingness to step outside her comfort zone and appear “in front of the camera” as well as behind it. Madison wowed us all last spring in her Stark Oratory performance when she won first place. I

just know that Madison has found her calling and I fully expect to see great things from Madison in the future.” Cheryl Royal, Director of Student Activities, said, “Congratulations to our Madison Day! President of Bridge City High School’s Student Body – Madison Day is an incredibly talented young lady-she is intelligent, articulate, and creative, has great character and is above all else compassionate and kind. Madison is not a student that is one way in the hallways and another depending on her surroundings. She is the first one to show up, first one to volunteer, and first one to make sure that a job is done to her standard of excellence. Madison is very well deserving of this honor and the sky is the limit for this young lady who is beautiful inside and out.”

Duck hunters certainly deserve due respect.

Pay respect to duck hunters FOR THE RECORD

e bad news for Sabine Lake trout fishermen was that a 1. 22- pound trout earned the first place check in the S.A.L.T. club’s monthly tournament. e good news for Phillip Pauling was that he caught that trout! Monthly fishing tournaments for the members are one of the many benefits of belonging to the family oriented club. Each month they target a different fish which keeps everyone in the hunt. e key to winning this month’s event was simply catching a keeper trout. Unfortunately, that pretty much sums up the dismal trout fishing in Sabine lake over the past year. Not only are the numbers still way down, but the size as well. I have caught only one trout over five pounds this entire year. We were griping the year before when we were catching only one or two fish that size virtually every trip!e S. A. L. T. club will host a Kids Tournament Saturday morning that is tailored to fit even the busiest schedule. e event concludes with a weigh-in and hotdogs at 11:00 at the Clubhouse, there is no entry fee and the kids can fish anywhere they wish as long as they make the weigh-in with their catch. e winning kids in three age divisions will win money, a trophy and a rod and reel. Kids in the 3-7 and 8-12 division can win with the largest crab, piggy perch and red fish. e 13 to 16 year old kids can win with the largest red, trout or flounder. Every child that weighs in will be eligible to win the drawing for the Grand Prize which is a Lifetime Fishing license donated by Dawn Jones of ReMax1! It just refused to quit raining this past week making it a tad

difficult for even the most persistent fishermen. Aside from the crabbers we saw a total of three other boats on the two days that we endured the steady downfall. In spite of the additional freshwater making its way through the lake, we still saw porpoises in the mouth of East Pass. In fact, we saw more porpoises than keeper trout! e best news is that we caught a few very solid flounder each day on three-inch Usual Suspects and four inch Sea Shads tipped with shrimp. I prefer to add a liquid scent to my plastic tails, but a small piece of shrimp produced strikes when nothing else would in the dirtier water. Bone diamond was easily the most productive color for us on both the flounder and redfish. On two previous occasions this summer, redfish just under the slot invaded areas that had been consistently producing upper slot fish. at was very much the case for us once again this past week as only every fifth or sixth fish was a small keeper. Tipping with shrimp may well have been the reason in this instance, but we couldn’t consistently get strikes without it. I ran into Paul LeDoux, a dedicated bass fishermen, on the river around noon last Tuesday and he said that he had been able to find only small bass due to the extra water with more on the way. He added that he had been drop-shotting a finesse worm in deeper water and the sand trout and small croakers would not leave him alone. After hearing that, I checked a few spots before calling it a day and each of them were

Astros playoff run starts vs. Indians KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR

FOR THE RECORD If statistics could win athletic contests, the Cleveland Indians would be shaking in their spikes this week in anticipation of the opening game of the American League Division Series Friday against the Houston Astros in Minute Maid Park. First of all, the Astros had their best season in franchise history by winning 103 games, with 57 of them being road victories—a franchise best--and the second highest total of the expansion era (since 1961) trailing only the 59 by the 2001 Seattle Mariners. e Astros are flying high, coming into the playoffs after posting a major league-best 216 record in September. Pitching is said to be the main ingredient of baseball which also brings the Astros to the forefront by setting a major league baseball-record strikeout total of 1,687 for Houston’s pitching staff, breaking the mark of 1,614 set by theses same Cleveland Indians last season. Another franchise record for the ‘Stroes is that three starting pitchers attained 200 or more strikeouts in 2018—Justin Verlander (290), Gerrit Cole (276) and Charlie Morton (201). is is only the second such trio in franchise history to strikeout 200 or more batters in a season, joining the 1969 threesome of Don Wilson (235), Larry Dierker (232) and Tom Griffin (200), according to Monday’s edition of the Hous-

See COLBURN, Page 5B

ton Chronicle. Besides leading the American League in strikeouts, Ve r l a n d e r also led the league with a 0.90 WHIP. Other Astros individual accolades mostly involves third baseman Alex Bregman who made major league baseball history by being the only player with a 50-double, 30-homer season. e former LSU star smacked 51 doubles and 31 home runs. Bregman also has a current club-record streak of 56 road games in which he has reached base, the longest such streak in the major leagues since Derek Jeter’s 59-game skein over 200607. Bregman still is irked at the Arizona Diamondbacks for not making him the Number One overall pick in the 2015 major league baseball draft but is certainly happy to be a Houston Astro. Second baseman Jose Altuve led the team once again with a best team batting average of .315, which ranked third in the American League. He won the batting title the previous two years. Inﬁelder Yuli Gurriel ﬁnished third in the majors with a .403 batting average with runners in scoring position and back-up catcher Martin Maldonado threw out 45.4 percentage of base stealers which ranked second in the MLB. is is not to say that the Cleveland Indians are an infe-

rior division champion, because they finished with a 91-71 record, which was 13 games better than runner-up Minnesota. e Astros didn’t clinch the AL West Division until last week with only four games remaining in the season over the gritty Oakland A’s. However, the USA Today Sports Weekly’s power rankings has Cleveland as the No. 5 team while Houston is No. 2 just behind the Boston Red Sox. Indians manager Terry Francona told reporters after Sunday’s 2-1 victory over Kansas City that he will start ace righthander Corey Kluber in Game One on Friday and Carlos Carrasco on Saturday at Minute Maid Park. Astros skipper A.J. Hinch declined to reveal his plans but promised the baseball writers he would reveal this information Tuesday. But it’s no secret that Verlander will oppose Kluber Friday and Gerrit Cole will start on Saturday. Hinch will likely start lefty Dallas Keuchel Tuesday in Cleveland but Francona did not reveal his starter Sunday. Hinch also said he would wait until Friday morning to announce his 25-man playoff roster. But September call-ups Dean Deetz, Kyle Tucker and Reymin Guduan were scheduled to return home after Sunday’s regular-season finale at Baltimore. Pitchers Framber Valdez and Cionel Perez flew to the Astros’ spring training facility in West Palm Beach, Fla. to throw bullpens and remain active in case of an emergency. KWICKIES…After manag-

Orangefield looks for rebound in vs. Coogs Coach Josh Smalleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bobcats will seek to recapture their winning ways Friday when they host Kirbyville in District 123A-I action. Buna scored a 30-14 win over the previously unbeaten Bobcats on the Cougarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homeďŹ eld last week. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e OrangeďŹ eld defense created turnovers but the Buna defense prevented the Bobcats from capitalizing. Still, the game was tied 14-14 through three quarters, with quarterback Mason Gonzales scoring on a couple of sneaks. But Buna QB Alex Connell scored twice in rushing for 84 yards on 11 carries and running back Kamewron Richardson added a 40-yard TD among his 77 rush yards. Gonzales led the Bobcats with 76 yards. After Connellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2-yard run gave Buna a 22-14 in the ďŹ nal quarter, Gonzales was picked oďŹ&#x20AC; by a Buna player who returned the interception to the house, scoring from 32 yards out.

î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e Bobcats are fourth in 123A-I in total oďŹ&#x20AC;ense, averaging 309 yards per game, and second in total defense, allowing just 130 yards per game.

time expired to give the Cowboys a 26-24 win. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e ďŹ eld goal was set up on a 34-yard pass play from quarterback Dak Prescott to star running back Ezekiel Elliott in the ďŹ nal minute of the game and Dallas trailing 24-23. Houstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory was set up by a bizarre decision by Coltsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach Frank Reich who refused to punt on a fourth-and-four at their own 40 in the overtime and settling for a 34-34 tie. Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson completed a 24-yard pass to star receiver DeAndre Hopkins and Fairbairn kicked the 37-yard ďŹ eld goal as time expired in the overtime.

All along the Texas gulf coast the pattern is the same, cool fronts signal the much anticipated frenzy that is fall ďŹ shing. Anglers of every description ready themselves with the latest technology and gear in hopes of ďŹ nding ďŹ&#x201A;ocks of gulls working over schools of hungry speckled trout and redďŹ sh. Shiny ďŹ berglass cruisers masquerading as bay boats are stocked up with an array of tackle that would make most anglers drool with envy. It is the same scenario in each bay system any and every place you look, yes all those hot summer days with limited action will soon be past memories because the action is rather than the weather is heating up. It is incredibly easy to get caught up in the chaos that is fall ďŹ shing, running and gunning from one school of ďŹ sh to another as if they will suddenly disappear if you do not reach

them in time. I must admit that I am absolutely in love with this style of ďŹ sh i n g , probably due to the fact that I take a â&#x20AC;&#x153;ďŹ&#x201A;y by the seat of your pantsâ&#x20AC;? approach to most things so this is right up my alley. While it is true that I have had some wonderful times ďŹ shing like this, I have had even better times sharing it with kids. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;is time of the year is tailor made for taking a child ďŹ shing, weather and overall conditions could not be better for introducing a young angler to the world of ďŹ shing. Now some folks hear the stories about chasing the birds in the lake and that sounds great, except maybe they do not have a big boat that allows them to do this kind of ďŹ shing. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ere are very few places better to ďŹ sh right now than the Sabine and Neches

rivers along with the intracoastal canal. Various locations along the deep channels can provide hours worth of ďŹ sh catching opportunities for folks to take their kids and experience some tremendous ďŹ shing without having to worry about the wind and also not having to run too far. On most occasions during the fall months you can take a kid out and anchor up along the river channel or at the mouth of most bayous and have no problem getting bit. Small redďŹ sh are wandering all over the river banks and hungry trout will readily eat shad or shrimp ďŹ shed on the bottom. Try plenty of spots until you ďŹ nd a concentration of ďŹ sh, then anchor and enjoy. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;is style of ďŹ shing coupled with the numbers of ďŹ sh in our area during the fall months are just perfect for introducing a young angler to the sport of ďŹ shing, who knows you just may get a lifetime ďŹ shing buddy out of the deal.

Praying for a Breakthrough Jon Bloom Staff writer, desiringGod.org A breakthrough is a military concept. When one army is able to weaken its enemy’s forces to the point of collapse, a breakthrough occurs, allowing that army to invade and take its enemy’s territory. But in war a breakthrough only really matters if it occurs at a strategic location. And the evidence that a location is strategic is almost always revealed by the amount of enemy forces amassed to protect it. An enemy led by skilled generals plans to ferociously protect what it prizes highly. This means that an invading army can expect its attempt to achieve a breakthrough to be met by a barrier of fierce enemy opposition. Increasingly intense fighting always precedes strategic breakthroughs. Strategic ground is not yielded easily.

Our Breakthroughs Are Opposed by Powerful Forces This is as true for spiritual warfare as it is for terrestrial warfare. In the spiritual realm, as opposed to the terrestrial, the church is an invading force. Though we can easily slip into a defensive, circle-the-wagons mindset, Jesus clearly intends for us to be aggressors, not merely defenders. The Great Commission is to “go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). In a world that “lies in the power of the evil one” (1 John 5:19), that’s militant language. Our mission: to liberate those the devil has taken captive to do his will (2 Timothy 2:26). But we must keep in mind that strategic ground is not yielded easily. Whether we’re battling for breakthroughs against our own stubborn sin or the unbelief of a loved one or breakthroughs in the missional advance of our local church, reaching unreached peoples, rescuing persecuted

believers, orphans, sex slaves, or the unborn, we are up against “spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places” (Ephesians 6:12). We don’t know exactly what that means, except that these forces are very strong.

Daniel’s Example Daniel 10:12–14 gives us a brief glimpse of what’s happening. Daniel had been praying and partially fasting for 21 days to gain greater insight into the revelations he had received (Daniel 10:3) when an angelic being finally showed up with an answer to his prayers. This messenger said that he had been trying to get to Daniel for those 21 days, but had been detained by “the prince of the kingdom of Persia.” The chief angel Michael had to come and free him. This experience of Daniel is an example to us. It’s not a formula that can simply be boiled down to pray and fast for 21 days and Michael will come help you overcome cosmic forces. But it is an example of what is taking place outside of our sight. God does not want us to know more about the angelic realm than what he has revealed in Scripture, otherwise Scripture would have revealed more. But he clearly wants us to know that there is more going on than we see so that we will pray to him and fast until he gives us an answer.

When God Moves, Satan Responds The consistent pattern throughout the Bible is that

every significant move of God is preceded by a season of increasingly difficult, discouraging opposition. And if we take Ephesians 6, Daniel 10, and other warfare texts seriously, we can understand why: God is invading what Satan considers his territory. God’s kingdom is breaking through the lines of the domain of darkness (Colossians 1:13). If we are not encountering opposition, it’s likely we are not attacking a strategic location. But if we are, we are on to something. Where the enemy is fortifying his forces is where we must focus our assault. And where the enemy is fortified, there is going to be a fierce fight if we are going to achieve a breakthrough. We are going to receive volleys of flaming darts (Ephesians 6:16). We are going to be attacked on the rear. There will be spies in the camp. There will be jeering and intimidation and accusations. There will be efforts to destroy our morale and determination.

A Call for Breakthrough Determination So this is a call for holy determination. Keep praying and don’t lose heart (Luke 18:1). Just like in any largescale war, there are many battles. Some breakthroughs are achieved relatively quickly; others require long, persevering endurance. But either way, breakthroughs require a determination to keep up the assault. Usually breakthroughs are not achieved by prayer alone

— there are works to be done and courage to be exercised. But real spiritual breakthroughs are not achieved at all without prayer. Concentrated, specific, persistent, prevailing prayer, often engaged in by two or more (Matthew 18:19), is needed to weaken our spiritual opposition. And fasting is a wonderful help. “Fasting tests where the heart is. And when it reveals that the heart is with God and not the world, a mighty blow is struck against Satan” (A Hunger for God). So if you’re praying for a breakthrough and not seeing it, and in fact experiencing more temptations to discouragement, frustration, weariness, doubt, and cynicism than before, do not give up. Increasingly intense fighting always precedes strategic breakthroughs. Strategic ground is not yielded easily. You’re up against more than you know. But “he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4). He has overcome the world (John 16:33) and he will give you justice (Luke 18:8). Don’t lose heart. Grow determined. There’s a breakthrough ahead. Jon Bloom (@Bloom_Jon) serves as author, board chair, and co-founder of Desiring God.

Refresh Your Home Refresh home décor on a budget any time of the year. Explore your creative side as you pick out new curtains, throws, pillows, wall art and more.

A discount retailer such as Dollar General can serve as an affordable one-stop shop for finding all of these items and is also a good destination for those in need of gift items for birthday celebrations or other special occasions. Find gift cards, candles, toys and cards for recipients of all ages. Stock up on Seasonal Décor Make every holiday unforgettable and keep your spaces look bright and festive by updating your home and work station with fun and inexpensive décor every season.

From your favorite snacks to cleaning products and more, private brands are a great option when looking to save on quality products.
