Rains delay carnival, public works projects Dave Rogers

For The Record

Chalk up another rain delay for the Orange Lions Club Charity Carnival. Officials with the service club decided Monday night to postpone the event for the second time in as many months, moving it this time to Nov. 7-10 and Nov. 14-17. This after the 2017 Carnival was canceled by Tropical Storm Harvey. “It’s just rained so much, the grounds are saturated,” said Sandra Williams, club president. Since August, club members have not been able to set up the rides and carnival booths at Lions Den Park because of wet grounds. “We don’t want people

driving around on the wet grass [for set up], and have it rutted up for the carnival,” Williams said. “Getting the big rides is a big task, but we want to get this done for the community. I know the community’s ready for it.” How wet is it? Afternoon thunderstorms Tuesday made it nine September days out of nine that Southeast Texas has received a little or a lot of rain. And this after raining 27 of 31 days in September. In September, officials documented 13.14 inches of rain, more than twice the “normal” for that month, 5.97 inches. “There’s not any one explanation,” Rob Megnia of the National Weather Service in

Lake Charles said recently. “We had two frontal boundaries stalled and a small tropical wave.” Southeast Texans have a new tool to make necessary and timely decisions during threatening weather conditions, SE TEXAS R.A.I.N., short for the Southeast Texas

Regional Alerting and Information Network. The launch of www.setexasrain.org provides access to user-friendly information and data. It displays rainfall, streamflow and water levels in major streams, bayous and reservoirs for the counties of Orange, Hardin, Jasper, Jef-

ferson and Newton. “It’s extremely important in emergency situations for people to know what’s going on,” State Sen. Robert Nichols said. “This website gives everyone direct access to what’s happening where they live, whether they are there or

away from home.” Joel Ardoin, Orange County’s emergency management coordinator, advises citizens to also sign up for STAN, the Southeast Texas Alerting Network, to keep up with government emergency mesRAIN DELAYS Page 3A

BCHS Alumni to honor dignitaries at Homecoming Staff Report For The Record

The Bridge City High School Alumni Association is all set for Homecoming 2018 and our Classic Cardinal Reunion this Friday. Bridge City High School will recognize Patsy Dowden and Jerry Jaynes as Distinguished Alumni during pre-game ceremonies this Friday. Every year BCHS honors two alumni who have remained in the Golden Triangle Area and have been positive assets to students and the community. The organization says that thanks to these two

Cardinals that have remained in our area after graduation in 1967 and have been positive role models for BCHS students. Also, during pregame activities the Bridge City High School Alumni Association will award its first Outstanding Alumni Achievement Award to Larry Lawson. Lawson, a 1963 graduate of BCHS and Heartcor Solutions CEO and founder, was recently presented the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans Inc. in Washington, D.C. Lawson, whose determination and hard work

helped him overcome medical adversities, works diligently for educational and charitable organization throughout the nation. He has an outstanding story to tell and shares his life experiences throughout the world. Those attending Homecoming should purchase tickets prior to 6:30 p.m. Friday. Request “Will Call” tickets which will allow you to sit with fellow-alumni members. The Classic Cardinal Reunion is Saturday, October 13th. Social hour begins at 5:30 in the BCHS cafeteria.

The BCHS family has lost two members. Sincere thoughts and prayers are extended to the friends and family of Ann Cruse Slack (1963) and Mark Barnes (1980.) Tickets for the October 12th Homecoming Game may be obtained at the north ticket gate. A group of seats have been reserved for our alumni. Simply request “Will Call” tickets when purchasing them. Also, it is important that you purchase them before 6:30. Pre-game activities begin at 6:30 and the game begins at 7:00.

It will ‘catch up with you’ but it’s never too late to start living healthy Dave Rogers

For The Record

James Hufstetler, 72, of Orange, confessed he used to eat everything, but as he grew older that caught with him. “I wasn’t eating right. I started going downhill at 60. You can’t do that,” he said. “Six months ago I weighed 251 pounds. Now I weigh 218 and I’m working to get under 200 pounds. The secret to Hufstetler’s success is he changed the way he eats with help from Fresh Prep - Clean Meals To Go in Bridge City.

“I feel better than I did six months ago. I heard about Fresh Prep through The Penny Record,” he said. He retired from Kansas City Southern Railroad after 30 years. Hufstetler was on medication for diabetes. His general practitioner did some blood work and discovered a problem with his kidneys. The kidneys specialist was about to put him on dialysis. However, he said it was hard for

him to put together a diet plan because there’s so many foods he can’t eat. “That’s why I was lucky to find Fresh Prep,” he said. “Everything is done in portions and I’ve lost quite a bit of weight. I had to take shots for Type II diabetes once a week. Now, the doctor has taken me off all my shots. The kidneys doctor tells me to keep doing what I’m doing. I’m doing my blood work at the end of the month and I

may not have to go on dialysis. The way I’m eating I hope the blood work is in good order.” He’s also off insulin and his high blood pressure medication may have to be readjusted later this month because of his good results. Beth Hanks, manager of Fresh Prep, said Hufstetler eats their food five days a week on the deluxe program that is customized to his diet. He started on the six day plan but he soon discovered it was too much food for him to eat. FRESH PREPS Page 3A

“I don’t think we’re interested” Beto says of Obama endorsement JULIÁN AGUILAR The Texas Tribune

EL PASO — Former President Barack Obama has endorsed 11 Texas Democrats leading up to next month’s midterm elections. But none go by the popular four-letter moniker “Beto”. On Thursday, the threeterm Democratic congressman looking to unseat incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz, RTexas, had a simple response to being left off the list: We’re doing fine on our own. “I don’t think we’re interested [in an endorsement],” Beto O’Rourke said after a town hall at a local high school. “I am so grateful to him for his service, he’s go-

ing to go down as one of the greatest presidents. And yet, this [election] is on Texas.”

Obama’s endorsements include five candidates for the Texas House and six vying for the U.S Congress, including O’Rourke’s likely Democratic successor, former El Paso County Judge Veronica Escobar. O’Rourke said his campaign didn’t reach out to the Obama camp for an endorsement and added that he’s been down this road before. When he ran what was considered an underdog 2012 campaign to defeat former U.S. Rep. Silvestre Reyes, the incumbent received nods from Obama and former president Bill Clinton. It didn’t work then, O’Rourke said.

“Bill Clinton fills up the county coliseum and a screaming El Paso Times front page headline [said] ‘President urges El Paso to stick with Reyes’,” he said. “And we won. And what that drove home for me is that someone else’s popularity is not transferrable to a given candidate.” Meanwhile Cruz has accepted help from President Donald Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., who campaigned for Cruz in Wichita Falls on Wednesday. The president has also announced an event with Cruz sometime this month in what he said would be the “biggest stadium in Texas.”

Livestock Show cane/Tropical Storm Harvey), we’re more determined than ever to put on a good show. This is the only truly annual show we have to support 4H.” She said if it wasn’t for this show, Orange County students would only be able to show at big events such as in Beaumont or in Houston. Orange County serves as a stepping stone for the majors. Most of the public don’t know what the students have to do with the commitment in raising the animals, according to Gray. She said the kids and families buy the animals in June, raise them through October, feed and water the animal, take it to the veterinarian and maintain and groom it before selling it. “It’s a learning tool for parents and kids,” she said. “The students keep a workbook and it’s definitely an education for them.” The money the students receive from the sale of their animal can either go toward another animal or save it and use the money on something

particular their senior year of high school. Furthermore, Go Texas is a partner with the livestock show and they offer scholarships each year through the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. There is also an add-on fund in which a buyer can pay additional money to a student after the animal is sold. Most of the buyers are local and the students introduce themselves to the buyers, tell them about their animals and then lock on. Ordinarily, the event is held at the Heritage Grounds at the Mauriceville Crawfish Festival, but it was moved to T2 Arena due to damage to the Heritage Grounds from Harvey. Chad Havens, owner of T2, invited to held the livestock show there. “OCLSA is very thankful to Chad Havens of T2 Arena for inviting OCLSA to have the event at his arena. The facilities and barn in Mauriceville have not been repaired since Hurricane Harvey. The organization continues to re-build the facilities for future events there,” Gray said.

Additionally, this year’s livestock show is dedicated to longtime supporter, Constable David Cagle, who is recently departed. “We couldn’t do this without the support from the community and the buyers and sponsors,” she said. “The purpose of the Orange County Live Stock Show Association shall be to provide and encourage leadership in the youth of Orange County through FFA and 4H Clubs as well as other organizations. “The goal of the OCLSA is to build an old fashion county fair in conjunction with the livestock show. Simple contests such as baking, canning, best vegetable from garden, flower arranging and others are what we would like to bring to this fall festival. Even a sack race, pie eating contest would round out this event with a lot of fun. Come out and help us grow this fall festival and livestock show. We invite other clubs or groups to come out and see what we are about and may be you would like to participate next year.”

He admitted every once in a while he’ll cheat for a meal and eat a burger. “It’s hard to change eating habits at any age,” Hanks said. “Keep doing what you’re

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN 10 Years Ago-2018

From The Creaux’s Nest MONSTER STORM HITS FLORIDA An October monster, Hurricane Michael, is expected to hit the Florida panhandle late Wednesday. This could be one of the worst storms ever to strike that region. If Michael lands as a category three hurricane, it could produce three life-threatening hazards; storm surge, heavy rainfall and very high winds. A 12 foot storm surge is forecast for a large section of the Florida coast, after making landfall Michael will likely head to Georgia and into South Carolina, a state that is still recovering.*****I’m running late so I’d best get going.

KAVANAUGH CEREMONY PRIME TIME TRUMP RALLY Justice Brett Kavanaugh, 53, went straight to work Sunday after the senate’s 50-46 confirmation vote Saturday afternoon. It was the narrowest margin since 1881. One democrat voted for him to make the minimal vote needed. A swearing in ceremony was held Saturday. Trump wanted a larger show, one in prime time with him as the star. What should have been a somber dignified ceremony was used by Trump for a political rally. The event was unnecessary legally but useful politically as Trump saw it. The White House ceremony was highly unusual and a far departure from the norm at such an event. Trump said, “I want to apologize to Brett and the entire family on behalf of the nation for the terrible pain you have been forced to endure. It was a campaign of political and personal destruction based on lies and deception.” He said it was all a hoax. He then said the really big lie when he said that Kavanaugh had been “Proven Innocent.” Trump went further, dismissing the sexual misconduct allegations against Kavanaugh as the creation of political opponents, calling them fabricated. In other words, Dr. Ford has made up the story for Democrats to use to prevent Kavanaugh from being confirmed. There is no doubt in my mind and I’m sure many other Americans, that Christing Blasey, as a teenager, knew the boys that were involved in her attempted rape. She knew their names then, and has never forgotten them. She just didn’t, out of the blue, come up with a new set of boys. Remember she sent the letter several weeks before Brett was picked from a long list of candidates. She warned against picking him because of her sexual encounter with him and his extreme drinking problems. Trump wanted the TV special Monday to crow about his victory. His making it about himself will keep his opponents energized while he tries to energize his own base. At a rally Sunday, he mocked Dr. Ford for gaps in her memory. He laughed and said, “All she remembered was that she drank one beer. It was all made up, fabricated and it a disgrace.” Trump continued, “Kavanaugh was a man that did nothing wrong, a man that was caught up in a hoax. He accused Democrats at the hearing of being mean and ugly. I saw them as being courteous and professional. It was Brett who was combative. Now the Trumpers have gone to calling the women who demonstrated around the country an angry mob. All of Trumps talking heads have taken up the “Mob” battle cry. Women will make their voices heard at the ballot box. More women will vote than ever in our history. If you don’t know enough about what Trump thinks of women, all women, even his daughter, Google: Howard Stern Trump tapes.

TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME 10 Years Ago-2008 There are some real sad problems facing good hard-working citizens in our little part of Texas. I’ve searched and searched but nowhere have I found where the state and our delegation have done one thing to help. They took the photo-ops and claim they’re standing by us. We don’t need them to just stand around. They have the hammer on insurance companies through the Texas Board of Insurance Regulators, but we know the insurance companies donate big time. It’s time for the state to issue grants. This week everyone will be leaving the Bridge City-Orange area. FEMA will be gone by Sunday, (the nonlocal) Red Cross is packing up and insurance companies are closing their tents. The Churches of Christ, God bless them, have vowed to stay in Bridge City as long as needed. They are at the Community Center and are doing a great service. Maybe not all hope is lost. President George H.W. Bush and President Bill Clinton have joined together and formed a Gulf Coast Recovery fund that will be distributed probably like a grant that doesn’t have to be paid back. If they are as successful, as they have been in the past, property owners may get a break. Ike is the most expensive storm ever, $700 billion, yet insurance companies will bear only $100 million of the cost; FEMA $26 million and the property owners get screwed with the rest.*****G.M. and Chrysler to consider merger. Ford Motor Co. is evaluating where to sell some of its 33.4 percent stake in Japan’s Mazda because that directly raises cash. The Fed will buy short-term debt directly from companies. This is the first time since the Great Depression that the U.S. is taking over or becoming part owner of American banks. Many of the best-known funds and fund managers have been hit hard. Deregulation and lack of oversight by the Bush Administration has led to part of the problem.***** Finally, the presidential election is heading to the Nov. 4 out come.

If I could remember how long ago that was I’d know his age. I believe he is 73. He came to town, partnered with Doug Harrington and opened a pharmacy inside what is now Danny’s. You knew a Cajun had come to town when the ribbon cutting was a 10-foot link of boudin.*****I ran into our longtime friend Annie Hargrave and it was really great to see her. She spent many years at Bridge City Market Basket. When she was a teenager in Port Arthur, her dad operated the swing bridge to Pleasure Island. I have some stories about the island but Annie has some also about how her and friends snuck by the bridge tender.*****Don’t

forget the Orange County Live Stock Show, Oct. 12 and Oct. 13 at the T2, Chad Havens’ place on old Peveto Road. Chad is a great guy, always doing something for the youth.*****What in the world happened to Sen. Lindsey Graham? He was once Trump’s worse critic. After McCain got sick Trump targeted Lindsey and bought him off with free stays whenever he wants at one of Trump’s resorts. He and Trump played golf a few times. Now he says, “John didn’t like Trump because he didn’t know him.” McCain didn’t like Trump because he knew the guy that said he wasn’t a hero because he got captured. Today Lindsey is Trump’s chief water boy in the senate now that McCain ain’t around to keep him on a leash. My guess is Lindsey is after a cabinet job, probably attorney general, since he threw AG Jeff Sessions under the bus or maybe UN Ambassador now that Nikki Haley is leaving.

BIRTHDAYS Oct. 10: Celebrating birthdays this week are Barbara Fournier, Janell Matthews, Jessica Franklin and Missy Flowers. Joining them are former football star Brett Favre, 48, TV host Mario Lopez, 44, rock singer David Lee Roth, 63 and race car driver Dale Earnhardt, Jr., 43.*****Oct. 11: Charles “Bosco” Hebert, Anita Ryan, Laura Allen, Preston Pittman, Alan Johansson and Alana Clark.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Tee Nonk Comeaux him, passed by his favorite drinking hole, Tee-Boy’s Bar and Grill, an ordered himself a drink. “Tee-Boy, fix me one dem Jack and Daniel, da black label one, and put tree drops of water in it.” Den Tee Nonk downed dat drink and ordered an utter one. Dis time, wit just two drops of water. He downed dat drink too and said, “Tee-Boy, I want an utter one of dem Jack Daniel, but just put one drop of water in dat one.” Tee Boy answer, “I’ve owned dis bar a long time, me, I’m only tending da bar because my bartender Boudreaux is sick. In all my years I’ve never seen nutten like dat before.” “Why you want another one wit only one drop of dat water in you drink Tee-Nonk?” “Well Tee-Boy, it’s like dis, wen you get old like me, you got to learn how to hold you water.”

C’EST TOUT Monday night two of my grandsons and I enjoyed a couple of big bowls of MeMe’s seafood gumbo, potato salad, ect., the occasion was to watch the New Orleans Saints defeat the Redskins. More importantly was to watch quarterback Drew Brees become the NFL’s leading passer. The 39 year old Brees did it in style. He eclipsed Peyton Mannings record of 71,940 yards with a 62 yard TD pass. The game was stopped to celebrate the accomplishment. Brees’ wife, three sons and daughter were escorted to the sidelines to be part of the occasion. Drew handed the record-breaking football to officials from the Pro-Football Hall of Fame. While fans were in a standing ovation, Brees removed his helmet, hugged his wife Brittany and four children. He then returned to the playing field where he continued his onslaught of the previous record and ended up with over 300 yards in the 43 to 19 win. If he plays a couple more years he will set a passing record that will stand for a long time. Earlier this season Brees broke Brett Favre’s career record of 6,300 completions. He still needs 42 touchdown passes to surpass Manning’s record of 539. Brees could break that record next season. He is also chasing Tom Brady, who has 500 TD passes. Brady is the only active player with more than Brees in that category. The years these two great quarterbacks have left to play could determine the final outcome. “Billy Jack,” “Caddo” and I enjoyed the evening. “Caddo” is such a Saints fan he has traveled the country to watch them play and has attended several of their practice sessions. A true fan who wears the Saint’s logo on shirts, jackets, etc. “Billy Jack” is a Texan fan while I favor the Cowboys. Most important to me however is the fact that the grandsons still want to come over and watch the games with Poppa. We’ve done it all of their lives. Coming up is our annual watching of the World Series which hopefully the Astros will be in. That’s the team we all agree on. We believe it will happen if they can get by Boston, who they will meet for the American League title when the Red Sox dispense of the New York Yankees.*****My time is up but I sincerely thank you for yours.

I have been modifying this dish from my mom for years. It was a special treat when we had it since fresh shrimp was not, and still is not, easily bought there. ink about it. Oklahoma, where I was reared, is in the middle of the rolling plains. ere are just lakes and rivers there. ere are no coast line waters in which shrimp thrive. Shrimp is VERY expensive since it must be ﬂown or trucked to Oklahoma. Hey, let's start cooking! Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

SPORTS AND OUTDOORS

GAMES THIS WEEK JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

WOS Mustangs over Silsbee Tigers The Mustangs have gone a long time since they lost a district game, but they are in jeopardy of starting off 2018 in the loss column if they continue playing like they did in the first six non-district games. The Tigers are 3-3 to start district play and have also played some tough teams. Perhaps playing the game in Dan Hooks Stadium will make the difference Friday night.

LCM Bears Over BC Cardinals This is normally a classic shoot-out between the two Orange County rivals and I look for this to be no different. Both teams got off to slow starts and each enter this District 11-4A-II opener with identical 1-4 records. The team making the fewest mistakes should be the winner.

East Chambers Over Orangefield Bobcats Although the Bobcats and East Chambers have an identical 4-1 record and 1-1 in district play, the Buccaneers are tough to beat in Winnie. The Buccaneers thumped previously undefeated Hardin 57-7 last week and have had an extra day to get ready for the Bobcats. But don’t sell the ‘Cats short. This could be an upset in the making.

For The Record

Now it’s for keeps. Friday’s football schedule includes the first district games of the season for West Orange-Stark, Bridge City and Little CypressMauriceville. Orangefield, meanwhile, collected its first District 12-3A-I win last week, downing Kirbyville 31-20.

Bobcats look for second 12-3A-I victory Orangefield’s football team is looking to push its record in District 12-3A Division I games above .500 Friday when it travels to East Chambers. The Bobcats defeated Kirbyville 31-20 last week to improve to 4-1 on the season, 1-1 in district play. Blake Bradley topped the centu-

ry rushing mark against Kirbyville while teammate Kadeon Evans also had a big night. Gunner Jones stepped in for an injured Mason Gonzales at quarterback and ran for one score, passed for another. For the season, Orangefield is averaging 313 yards and 35 points per game while allowing 161 yards and 11 points per contest. Heston Puckett continues to lead

the Bobcats in rushing with 278 yards but Bradley is close with 253 yards and Gonzales, who is out for the season, had 215 yards. Bridge City hosts Bears in 11-4A-I opener Both the host Cardinals and visiting Little Cypress Mauriceville FOOTBALL Page 3B

Vidor Pirates Over Santa Fe The Pirates are coming off two heart-breaking losses to two playoff-bound teams and are ready to get into the victory column Friday at Pirate Stadium.

Dewyville Pirates Over Shellbyville The Pirates (2-3) have won one more pre-district game than this week’s opponent and are coming off a narrow 24-21 victory over Beaumont Kelly last week while Shelbyville (14) was idle.

Incarnate Word Over Lamar University The Cardinals have shown they can hang with most Southland Conference teams until late in the second half when they seem to run out of gas or talent. This opponent has shown it can defeat good teams, which may not be the case Saturday.

Astros sweep past Atlanta Awaiting Red Sox-Yankees winner KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR

FOR THE RECORD e Houston Astros did what most defending champions do—win both games at home during the best-of-five American League Divisional Series (ALDS) last weekend. But they also led the major leagues with the best road record in 2018 and it showed Monday as they went into the seventh inning trailing the Indians in Cleveland 2-1 and then mauled the bullpen, scoring nine runs in the next two innings and winning the ALDS 11-3 with a three-game sweep—the first in franchise playoff history. Now the Astros must wait and see whether they will play the mighty Boston Red Sox or the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series and the right to play in the 2018 World Series later this month. As I have always harped on, pitching is the name of the game, and in this three-game series, the Astros had it and the Indians didn’t. Houston won the first game Friday at Minute Maid Park 7-2 behind ace Justin Verlander and then came back

with a 3-1 squeaker Saturday behind the brilliant mound performance by Gerrit Cole. Houston’s No. 3 pitcher Dallas Keuchel, who used to be the ace of the staff until Verlander and Cole showed up, started Monday’s game and gave up just two runs, but exited the game trailing 2-1. Collin McHugh pitched two innings and was credited with the win. e key to the Astros’ sweep can be traced to the fact they kept the ball in play on offense and displayed solid defense during the three games. It looks to me that whomever the Astros play, they will be behind the eight-ball because Verlander and Cole will have normal rest between starting assignments with the ALCS not set to begin until Saturday. Houston had five days off after the end of the regular season and it certainly didn’t hurt them against the Indians. One announcer on TBS said that when a team keeps the ball in play, good things happen. Monday’s clincher for the Astros was a perfect example of that when the Cleveland pitchers committed three errors throwing the ball to a base. is opened the flood gates for Houston. Although the Red Sox had the best won-loss record in the major leagues this season, the Astros still are heavily favored to repeat as world champions, according to this week’s issue of USA Today Sports Weekly. Ted Berg likes Houston over Atlanta in five games. “Houston’s success was overshadowed somewhat by the Red Sox’ winning record. But the Astros went 21-6 in September and that’s when winning counts the most.” Sports staffer Gabe Lacques

picks the Astros to beat the Dodgers in six games. “No teams in their leagues come close to being so well-built for the post-season as the Astros and the Dodgers. e back end of the Astros’ rotation will lift them past the Red Sox. And the overwhelming depth of the Dodgers again won’t quite be good enough.” Two other writers were way out in left ﬁeld as one picked the Indians over the Brewers and another had the Astros over the Cubs. As far as I’m concerned, I merely want the Astros to keep pitching and playing defense like they did against Cleveland and good things will happen. KWICKIES…e Texas Longhorns gave their ardent fans a double surprise last weekend. Not only did they upset favored Oklahoma 48-45 in the Red River Classic, but they also made the biggest jump in this week’s Associated Press’ College Football Top 25 Poll, leaping 10 positions from No. 19 to No. 9. e top four spots remained intact with Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State and Clemson, but No. 5 LSU tumbled from ﬁfth place to No. 13. West Virginia moved from ninth to No. 6, Washington also jumped three slots to No. 7, as did Penn State from No. 11 to No. 8 and Central Florida moved up two places to No. 10. e Oklahoma Sooners nose-dived from No. 7 to No. 11. Four newcomers at the bottom of the poll include Texas A&M, South Florida, Mississippi State and Cincinnati. A total of six games were won in the last second of the fourth period Sunday in the National Football League with Graham Gano booting a personal best 63-yarder as time expired giving the Carolina Panthers a 33-31 victory over the undisciplined New York Giants. The Giants’ secondary got called for pass interference, a defensive back bumped the

referee and then said something that cost another personal foul, moving the ball more than 50 yards downfield on one play, setting up an easy field goal that made a difference on the final score. It took three extra holes but Kevin Tway won his first PGA Tour victory Sunday in the Safeway Open played in Napa, Calif. Tway, a former Oklahoma State player and son of Bob Tway of the Senior Tour, rolled in a 10-foot birdie putt to defeat Ryan Moore. Brandt Snedeker, who led for most of the four-day event, spiraled to 74 in the final round and made the playoff, but was eliminated on the first extra hole. Drew Brees became the NFL’s all-time passing leader as the New Orleans Saints drubbed the Washington Redskins 43-19 on ESPN’s Monday Night Football. Brees surpassed Peyton Manning’s record of 71,940 yards and needs only one more touchdown pass to reach the 500milestone. Texas pro football fans were treated to a great game between the Houston Texans and the Dallas Cowboys on NBC’s Sunday Night Football. There was some crisp tackling, great defense and exciting offense. The game ended in a 16-16 tie after regulation, but thanks to a 49-yard catch and run by DeAndre Hopkins, the Texans were set up for the game-winning 36-yard field goal by Ja’imi Fairbairn as the overtime period ended. JUST BETWEEN US…It’s hard to argue that Texas is the nation’s hot-bed for football. And that doesn’t pertain to only today. There were 11 players from Texas selected as the No.1 overall pick in the NFL draft, 30 players from Texas inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio and 309 selected to the Pro Bowl. Texas leads in all three categories and 8.5 per cent of all active NFL players hail from the Lone Star State--the third highest behind Florida and California.

Both carry 1-4 non-district records into the game. e Bears’ lone win came Sept. 28, a 30-18 decision over Hardin-Jefferson after opening the season with losses to Woodville, WOS, Jasper and Vidor. Bridge City defeated Anahuac 13-6 on Sept. 14 to give new head coach Allen DeShazo his first win. Diboll, Jasper, Silsbee and WOS defeated the Cards. Quarterback Adam Pope heads LCM’s offense with some big help from Darien Williams and James Williams. e two are not related but both are nicknamed “D.J.” which has caused a bit of confusion so far. A week ago, they were interchanged on the stat sheet prepared by the coaching staff. Bridge City’s quarterback is Cace Skinner who joins running backs Andy Lara and Gavin Villanueva on an offense that seldom passes. Mustangs look for restart in 10-4A-II After playing their usual play-

off-caliber non-district games, West Orange-Stark’s footballers get down to District 10-4A Division II basics, opening league play at home against Silsbee Friday. Jasper dropped the Mustangs 34-24 last week at the Dawghouse in Jasper, despite a big night for the WOS offense. Quarterback Tyrone Wilson completed 10 of 20 passes for 251 yards, setting up three TDs for running back Kayvn Cooper, who rushed 18 times for 86 yards. Jay’zn Robinson caught three passes for 70 yards. Brettlin Wiley combined with Wilson for an 82-yard hookup. On the season, the Mustangs are averaging 162 yards rushing and 157 yards passing, 319 total yards and 23.5 points per game. ey are allowing 242 yards and 18.2 points per game. Wilson leads the team in total offense with 749 yards (566 passing, 183 rushing) while Cooper has 305 yards rushing and Justin Sibley 254.

Gear up for game wardens DICKIE COLBURN FISHING REPORT FOR THE RECORD

While Mother Nature was less than hospitable Saturday morning, she failed to dampen the enthusiasm and participation in the 7th annual Chenier Wounded Warrior Tournament. A total of 82 entrants including 25 Wounded Warriors took their chances with the iffy weather and pulled off yet another very successful event. The Wounded Warriors that fished the tournament did more than just compete as six of them cashed checks by placing in the twenty-one paid out places. Several others cashed $50 checks for finishing the highest of any Warrior not finishing in the top three in each category. Not surprisingly, only three trout were weighed in, but that didn’t slow down the show. Steve Simmons reported that a large number of area anglers were on hand to provide boats and fishing gear for every Wounded Warrior that wanted to fish. As a matter of fact, seven of the nine entries in the Kayak division were Wounded Warriors! Once again the redfish division proved the toughest to win with Mike Garner nudging out 13 year old Anthony Trahan by . 04 ounces to win first place. Trahan, however, took both second and third place honors. Corey Badon won both the trout and sheepshead divisions, Ernest Ramirez won the flounder division, Andrew Steel took home the check for heaviest croaker and Josh Tischaefer won the Kayak division. Simmons was very pleased with the turnout and added that once again they raised a lot of money in support of the Wounded Warriors organization. My bad, but good news for folks bemoaning the thought that they had to miss the S.A.L.T. Club’s Kid’s tournament. You are in luck. I had my dates wrong and it will take place as scheduled, this Saturday. No entry fee, weigh-in at 11, hot dogs and drinks provided and one of the lucky youngsters will win a Lifetime Fishing License in a random drawing. The winners will take home cash and rod and reels in three different age divisions. You don’t need a boat and you can fish anywhere you wish as long as you are back at the weigh-in by 11:00. For more information you can call Outcast Tackle at 409-960-6686. There may well be no other

benefit event more important for area residents than the 1^st Annual “Gear for Game Wa r d e n s ” Dinner and Auction to be held at Courville’s in Beaumont at 6:00 p. m. O c t o b e r 17^th . Tickets can be purchased at the door for $25. Monies raised via the dinner and auction will be donated exclusively to improve the rescue capabilities of Game Wardens in this region. While they are better known for their efforts in enforcing game laws and promoting conservation, they also are equally quick to answer the call when natural disasters occur. While their numbers and demands are stretched to the limit, easily their number one need to make them even more efficient in life saving situations is additional upgraded and state of the art high tech equipment. Life-saving gear ranging from search and rescue drones to diving gear and better communication systems are sorely needed. You don’t have to be an outdoorsman to benefit from the tasks they address on a daily basis. It may very well be a Game Warden that rescues you or a loved when no one else can! Thus the reason every resident in the area is encouraged to show up and support their efforts. The food at Courvilles is always good and the auction will be loaded with some super items. Courville’s is located on the corner of 1744 Rose Ln. and hwy. 90 just west of Beaumont. For more information you can call Rich Courville at 860-9811. Extremely high tides did little to help local anglers fishing Sabine Lake or the river last weekend. The water was already high in area marshes with more pouring in from the Gulf. Redfish provided most of the action, but the flounder bite continues to slowly improve. Not only have the numbers been better, but the size as well. Johnny Gregory caught two flatfish over five pounds Sunday afternoon on a half-ounce Rat-L-Trap. “I was trying to catch redfish,” said Gregory and I thought I had hung up when both fish hit. ”That’s not my first choice of lures when fishing for flounder, but I’m not catching five pound fish either!

Orange County Church Directory

The Good We Never Ask For Randy Alcorn Director, Eternal Perspective Ministries desiringGod.org Christian slaves in America sometimes were forbidden to sing — even to God. So when they went to the river, they would hang wet blankets around themselves, then sing into pots filled with water to absorb the sound. “Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing” (2 Corinthians 6:10), they couldn’t hold inside their songs of praise. Perhaps what you’re facing makes you wonder if God has turned his back on you. Your trial may last a day, a year, a decade, or more. But I doubt your circumstances are worse than that of those Christian slaves, stripped of liberty and dignity, with families routinely torn apart. Yet they couldn’t force themselves not to sing. Throughout the centuries and around the world, many suffering believers affirm that God uses hard times to draw us to him, to give us a profound happiness in him, and to build greater Christlikeness and dependence. We pray “bring me closer to you, Lord,” and usually in answer, our loving and sovereign God keeps trials coming our way — even sometimes when we beg him not to. There’s no nearness to God without dependence on God. And nothing makes us more dependent on him than when the bottom drops out. Inevitable and Purposeful We Christians will be delivered from eternal misery. But God never says we’ll avoid hardships now. In fact, he specifically promises them, in verses we seldom post on the refrigerator. “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you” (1 Peter 4:12). I smile when I read this. It’s like God is saying, “Whatever gave you the idea you wouldn’t suffer?” The apostle Paul told believers he was sending Timothy to them “to establish and exhort you in your faith, that no one be moved by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that we are destined for this” (1 Thessalonians 3:2–3). If we don’t know this, we should!

When we think of what God has destined us for, abundant life and resurrection come to mind, but trials rarely do. Yet God assures us that he himself — not the curse or Satan — has actually destined us to suffer. Afflictions are not just inevitable; they’re purposeful. Though they may appear random, they are the product of God’s intelligent and loving design. In Trusting God, Jerry Bridges wrote, “That which should distinguish the suffering of believers from unbelievers is the confidence that our suffering is under the control of an allpowerful and all-loving God. Our suffering has meaning and purpose in God’s eternal plan.” Good Comes Through Adversity What can suffering do for me? It can show me the impossibility of finding true happiness outside of God. When what I once leaned on for happiness — my health, career, wealth, or popularity — crumbles into dust, the way is cleared for me to see that God is my only solid foundation. We’re right to ask God for relief. Nevertheless, every time we ask him to remove difficulty, we may be asking him to forgo an opportunity to declare his greatness or deepen our relationship with him. When did you last hear someone say, “I grew closest to God when my life was free from suffering”? Ten months after his son was killed in a car accident, Greg Laurie told me, “What I wish is that I could have learned and grown and drawn close to the Lord just like I have, but that Christopher was still here.” Greg captured it perfectly — I too wish I could have all the good God brings through adversity without all that pain. But it doesn’t work that way, does it? What None of Us Wanted My beloved wife, Nanci, was diagnosed with colon cancer eight months ago. She has undergone a long series of difficult treatments. We’ve experienced countless appointments and changed diagnoses and timelines. We’ve seen longterm planning become guesswork. As Nanci and I walk this

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

path together, we’ve resolved to worship our sovereign God, who bears the scars of his love for us. We read his word and discuss great books about his attributes. We sense his presence and see him increasing our dependence on him. We’ve been deeply touched as our family and friends rally around us. It’s been my privilege to serve Nanci more than ever, especially after all the ways she has served me over the years. God graciously brings all this good out of what? Out of what none of us wanted to happen. Our Father sometimes answers our prayers to relieve our suffering, and each time he does we thank him wholeheartedly. But when he answers no, we must honor his desire to work in us more deeply. If asked, “Do you want to be closer to Jesus, and more like him?” we all know what we should say. Yet, if God answered all our prayers for relief from suffering, he would be delivering us from the very thing we say we want. Christlikeness is something to long for, not be delivered from. It’s not easy to pray, “Please do whatever it takes to make me more like Jesus.” But when he does whatever it takes, we should trust him. Welcome What the Good Trials Bring Since suffering builds character, no wonder the Bible tells us, “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness” (James 1:2–3). How can we possibly welcome difficulties instead of resenting them? By trusting God when he tells us trials draw us closer to him, mature us, expand our ministry, and prepare us for eternal joy. God doesn’t command us to cheer because we’ve been betrayed, diagnosed with cancer,

or lost a loved one. Rather, our joy comes in the expectation of adversity’s by-products, including the development of godly character, greater dependence on Jesus, and countless reasons hidden to us for now (but crystal clear in our Father’s mind). Paul said, “Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance” (Romans 5:3). Paul and James both claim we should rejoice in suffering because of the fruit it ultimately yields. When we see with an eternal perspective, we can say, “This trial is difficult, but God is sovereign, loving, and kind. Through his grace and empowerment, I will become more like Jesus and closer to him. And I will be eternally grateful for what God did through these hard times.” Enter the Joy of Your Master Someday, we’ll see with clear-eyed certainty that God’s word was right all along, that “the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us,” and that “for those who love God all things work together for good” (Romans 8:18, 28). Someday, we’ll appreciate the value of each minute of every purpose-filled trial. But let’s not wait until we die to believe what God says about our present suffering. By faith, for his glory and our good, let’s front-load God’s promises into our hearts and minds today, and get a head start on entering into our Master’s happiness.
