New BC city secretary sworn in at council meeting city took over the water district in 1986. She rose through the ranks as a customer service supervisor, then the warrants clerk, and planning and development coordinator where she issued permits and supervised code enforcement. She added that

working in planning and development was a big help for the city secretary position because she learned about the ordinances and where to find them. Tisdale, furthermore, is no newcomer to Bridge City. Her parents had deep roots in Bridge City and in Or-

angefield and they also were involved in public service. Her mother was also the city secretary and her father served on the Bridge City ISD Board of Trustees. Her mother was also the secretary for the Bridge City Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber didn’t have a build-

ing yet and her mother placed a typewriter on the dining room table for Chamber work. Additionally, the Chamber’s phone number was their home number. McDowell said she has 27 years of experience with the BRIDGE CITY Page 3A

Jeanie McDowell took the reins as the new Bridge City city secretary Tuesday night. McDowell took the oath of office from Sherry Tisdale, who is retiring, at the regular meeting of the Bridge City City Council. Tisdale was

named city secretary in 2003. She has a two-year degree from Lamar University in office administration. She started working for the city part-time in 1984. Prior to that she worked at Texaco Refinery in Port Arthur. In 1987, she started working more than 40 hours a week in utilities billing after the

Charlie Miller taught biology for nearly two decades across the hall from Moe Litton’s biology classroom at Bridge City High School. “He not only was intelligent, but he was one of the funniest people I’ve ever known,” Miller said of Litton. “He taught with humor. But he always was extremely firm. The kids knew when it was time to go to work.” Herman N. “Moe” Litton, 91, died over the weekend, on Sunday, Oct. 14, 2018. A rosary will be said at 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 18, followed by visitation from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Claybar Funeral Home in Bridge City. A funeral service will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 20, at St. Henry’s Catholic Church in Bridge City. His wife of 61 years, Helene, the longtime librarian for Bridge City High School,

died in 2009. Besides biology, Litton also taught driver’s ed at Bridge City High School, where he worked from

1965 to 1988. But he was “Coach Litton” to all. He was the first certified trainer at the high school level in Southeast Texas. He was inducted into the Southeast Texas Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 1999. “He was the trainer for all of the sports. Any time the kids had a problem, he took care of them,” said Troy Woodall, who coached at BC beginning in 1964 and ending in 2004. “The kids loved him. “He was gruff in a way, but he loved kids and they knew it. There will never be another Moe Litton. Everybody COACH LITTON Page 3A

Tom is home. Thomas Johnson, a Port Arthur native, was installed as president of the Lamar State College-Orange Tuesday afternoon in a ceremony at the Shahan Events Center on campus. Johnson was joined onstage by regents of the Texas State University System and other college presidents. Family, friends and mentors were also in attendance in the audience to support Johnson. Regents, staff and students addressed the audience too. Brian McCall, chancellor of the TSUS, gave the charge to Johnson as president. Johnson spoke on his back-

It was while he was working in a sawmill in east Texas that he decided he wanted a better life and attend college though he didn’t know if he could attend. Though he wasn’t a stellar student, his teacher at Angelina College, Ruth Bass, encouraged him through college. He even joined Phi Beta Kappa honor society. Johnson worked for U.S. Rep. Charlie Wilson too. He said that experience opened doors for him and made him he want to do better. JOHNSON Page 3A

TxDOT projects in Orange County hindered by the rainfall David Ball

For The Record

Mother Nature is to blame. Weather is holding up some of the three major Texas Department of Transportation — repaving Texas Avenue in Bridge City, completing the swing bridge over Cow Bayou on East Roundbunch Road and widening Interstate 10. Sarah Dupre, public information officer for TxDOT, said crews are working around the rain. “On Texas Avenue, crews should begin paving by the end of October. The wet

weather has held up operations,” she said. “We’re currently looking at the first of the year before work will be seen on East Roundbunch Road at Cow Bayou. The motor and electrical units are still being worked on.” Construction begun on Texas Avenue in Bridge City a little more than a year ago in July —a month before Tropical Storm Harvey hit. Work, however, continued throughout the year with a completion date targeted for the winter, according to Dupre. She said three months ago crews were repairing the

base overlaying the roadway with asphalt for the $5.6 million project. Funding for the project is from TxDOT. Old Castle Materials of Beaumont is the contractor. Crews were doing the work at night. “It’s 65 percent complete (in July 2018). It will be completed by the end of the year,” she said. “They started in July 2017 and they have not used up all of their days. They’re assigned so many days under contract.” However, the project may now be behind schedule. Thus far, Texas Avenue has been paved from Ferry Drive,

eastward to Roundbunch Road. From there, the road should be paved to FM 62. The other big project, reconstructing and widening Interstate 10, is scheduled to start in 2020. The roadway will be widened from FM 1442 to FM 3247 (MLK Drive) to three lanes eastbound and westbound. The next phase will be from FM 3247 to the state line with Louisiana. “We’re waiting on work to be done on the westbound side,” Dupre said. “The last section will start in 2021 to TXDOT PROJECTS Page 3A

Coach Litton thought the world of him.” Miller was a 1967 grad of Bridge City High School, who played football, basketball and baseball for the Cardinals. After college, he returned to work at the school from 1972-2001. He might be best known as an assistant to longtime BC baseball coach Chuck Young. “We’re losing some legacies,” Miller said. “First, Coach Young a year ago; now Coach Litton.” After serving four years in the Navy during World War II, Litton attended Stephen F.

earning a bachelor’s degree in 1953 and his master’s in 1956. He played football and was a letterman for SFA. His first coaching job was in Hemphill. From there, his coaching career included Jacksonville, Vidor, Orangefield and finally Bridge City. He was part of the staff for Bridge City’s 1966 state championship football team. From 1987 to 2008, Litton worked for Lake Charles Memorial Hospital as a sports medicine consultant. “I met Coach Litton as a student athlete,” Miller recalled. “He was a very unique individual. We saw him as

more than a trainer. He was more like a doctor to us.” Miller, now associate pastor at First Baptist Groves, said he used to attend church with Litton at Second Baptist in Bridge City. “Church was always important to Coach Litton. He’d go to different churches on Sunday night,” Miller said. “He’d drop in on different ones, because he wanted to see everybody. “He was a good man. I don’t know how many good words I can say, but they’re all real.”

Clearing a sixfoot jump at a district meet, she as ranked second in the nation; a three-time state competitor, she won gold twice and broke an 18-year old state record of 5’ 10.25” in seemingly impossible conditions; and she was named the 2014 female athlete of the year at the USA Track and Field competition. Henry graduated fifth in her class and continued her education and athletic career at the University of TexasArlington. She currently hods a total of vie school records, the most of any single athlete in UTA history. She cleared 5’ 111/2”, shattering a 28-year old school record.

Criminal justice class enrollment doubled under Johnson. Metke added a hurricane can be beneficial to an area suffering drought and “Hurricane Tom is coming here, but it will be beneficial.” “Education is the great equalizer,” Johnson said. “The U.S. Constitution prevents a society of nobility and one’s place is not a circumstance of birth.”

TxDOT roadway projects the state line. There will be six lanes from Orange to Beaumont.” The westbound frontage road along Interstate 10 at Adams Bayou tends to flood when it rains. Dupre said currently there are no plans for any construction. The water is flowing north due to

the tide. “It’s not backing up because of the roadway. Our projects are planned years in advance. We have to get permits, funding in place, environmental studies and do community outreach. It’s a several year process,” she said.

Henry received Honorable Mention All-American, Second Team All-American at the National Collegiate Athletic Association Indoor National Championship and First Team All-American after claiming the championship in the high jump. She has also received the Texas Trust Scholar of the Week and voted Peer Leader of the Year. In other Council business, City Manager Jerry Jones said the city did have a $211,000 deficit for employee overtime pay after Hurricane/Tropical Storm Harvey. Since then, the city has made up that deficit and they now have $700,000 in the coffers. All of the City Council, City Attorney Paul Fukuda and Mayor David Rutledge said this year’s Texas Municipal League annual conference was one of the better ones they attended.

Someday I look for the Congress to come up with a bill that forces insurance companies to pay for wind driven surge caused by a hurricane. Everyone in Bridge City had hurricane insurance but most didn’t have flood coverage. The bill would be late to help Orange County but in the future they wouldn’t be able to rip the citizens off by saying, “We won’t pay a dime under the water line.” (Editor’s note: That was wishful thinking.)***** I was just thinking about how things would have been different if we still had homeboys representing us in federal and state government. If Jack Brooks, Charlie Wilson or the “Blue Dog” Demos were representing us, they would be screaming from the top of the Hill while squeezing nuts. If D-Roy Harrington or Carl Parker were still our state senators, they would fight and scream every day to get the state off their ass and not just offer lip service or photo-ops. They would make home folks a fighting priority. We had it good back in the days of Wayne Peveto, Clyde Haynes and Ron Lewis, fighting local guys, in an Orange County district.

From The Creaux’s Nest MOE WAS LEGEND IN THESE PARTS It’s hard to believe “Moe” is gone. He passed away Sunday, Oct. 14. A rosary will be said at 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 18. Visitation will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Claybar Funeral Home in Bridge City. Funeral service will be held Saturday, Oct. 20, 10 a.m. at St. Henry Catholic Church in Bridge City. I had known Herman “Moe” Litton since 1965 when he went to work for his old SFA teammate Chief Wilson, who was Bridge City’s football coach and AD. The following year Bridge City won the State Football Championship. Bum Phillips was also one of their teammates at SFA. Moe was from Gladewater, TX and we visited often about that place. Everyone who knew Litton has a story. He knew every student who went through Bridge City High so there are thousands of stories. Just one from me although I have dozens. Moe had a sleeping disorder and many nights, at 2 or 3 a.m. you could often find him at Gary’s Coffee Shop. One night he got up, didn’t turn on any lights as not to wake Helene up. He eased into the living room, sat on the couch right on top of Micky, who had snuck in and went to sleep on the couch. The screaming woke Ms. Helene up. Hundreds of girls can tell stories of Moe’s famous ear piercings. Boy athletes can tell harrow stories about injury treatments. His favorite saying was, “It will feel better when it quits hurting.” There will never be another “MoeJo”. I feel blessed to have known him, as does everyone else. Rest in peace my friend.

CONDOLENCES TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS We were sorry to learn of the sudden death of Harriet Faye McCorvy, age 72, who passed away Saturday, Oct. 13, at Meadows Nursing Home where she was a patient in rehab recovering from pneumonia. She was scheduled to go home Tuesday, Oct. 15. Services were held on that day. She is survived by her husband of 54 years, James McCorvy, seven children and 18 grandchildren. One of her daughters, Brenda Lund, is our ‘Girl Friday’ at the Penny Record office in Bridge City. Please see obituary. May this good lady rest in peace. She was truly loved.

TEXAS SHOWDOWN FEATURES TED AND BETO The showdown for United States senate in Texas will feature Sen. Ted Cruz and Beto O’Rourke in the Thursday evening, nationally televised Town Hall, to be carried at 6 p.m. by CNN. Local ABC outlet, Channel 12, did broadcast the debate at 8 p.m. Tuesday. Cruz, a national debate champion, didn’t fare too well in the first debate and got negative in this debate. Throughout the campaign O’Rourke has sought the high ground with a people-powered campaign. Beto has rejected special interest and corporate PAC money. Now the Cruz campaign has made O’Rourke’s early life and career their focus in attack ads. Some have been disproven. An example, in recent commercials Cruz accused O’Rourke of voting to use government power and eminent domain to take away homes from residents. This turns out to be false. Unknown to most Texans Beto comes from a Republican family. His father ran for congress in the GOP and his mother is also Republican. O’Rourke is known for working with both sides and presently he and Sen. Cornyn, a Republican, are co-sponsoring a bill. He was portrayed in the debate as being a populist. With polls tighter than analysts ever expected. Cruz has sought to reopen old wounds. O’Rourke has responded to the negative stuff on Facebook to supporters, “We can be defined by our fears” or “We can be known by our ambitions and aspirations.” Can Cruz knock him off of that high road? Cruz, who once called Trump a ‘pathological liar and utterly amoral’ is now assuring people all over Texas that he has Trump’s back, even on his border policy of separating families. So far, two Trumps have appeared in Texas on his behalf, daughter Ivanka and Don Jr. Trump himself announced that he would hold the biggest rally, in the biggest stadium in Texas, in October for Cruz. The rally is now set for Monday, Oct. 22, at NRG stadium in Houston, which seats slightly less than 10,000 people. No senator serving with Cruz has spoken up for him. Sen. Lindsey Graham said in the past, “If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the senate and the trial was held on the senate floor, no one would convict you.” Former House Speaker John Boehner said of Cruz, “I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.” Cruz is liked by very few in government. I believe, year in and year out, the interest of Texas would best be served with senators from both parties. Any state would be. Texas has the opportunity to have a senator from both. Regardless of who is in the White House we would be covered.

TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME 10 Years Ago-2008 A month after Ike, at least on the surface, things are looking better in Bridge City. The clean up is helping. At first glance, a person wouldn’t know that houses are just shells with nothing inside. I’m still amazed that so many people I talk to around the country or even a hundred miles away don’t realize how hard Orange County was hit. We can’t thank the many groups and individuals donating their time to help the rebuilding job enough. It’s just so massive and without their help it would be a lost cause. Roy says that four of his immediate neighbors will not be returning. That is just an example of how many citizens without flood insurance just can’t make things fit. Insurance companies have a strong lobby.

He celebrated by attending the LSU game. He hasn’t missed a home game in 15 years. (Editor’s note: He would be 90 years old this week. He and wife, Juliet, operated Gravely Tractor for many years.)****Suzanne Halliburton covers LC-M football for the Opportunity Valley News. The Bridge City Cards beat the Bears 13-7 in first district game. Bridge City quarterback Rodney Johnson scored a touchdown on a fourth-down at the one-yard line in the final seconds of the game to give the Cards the win.

Her career has taken her around the world. *****Judge Sid Callivet celebrated his 86th birthday last week, receiving telegrams from around the country. The big party was held at he and Ms. Dennis’ home. Roy Dunn was host and also served the cake. Former Sheriff Chester Holt attended along with Curry Barton. Banker Elmer Newman looked over to where Joe Blanda, Jimmy Conn, Casey Peveto, Joe Runnels and Henry Stanfield were sitting and said, “That group looks like a meeting of the Mafia.” Conn, with his all white suit sat in the big chair and was dubbed “The Godfather,” with Blanda as his top crime boss.

He also entertains with his “Funny Business,” one-man band each Friday and Saturday at the Fisherman’s Reef. Getting out of the Air Force in 1960, after a four-year hitch, he spent a lot of his time in Shreveport and became an avid fan of the “Louisiana Hayride” attending every Saturday night. His favorite shows were Johnny Horton, Hank Snow, Farron Young, Roger Miller, Johnny Cash and a youngster named Elvis. Gunter said back then Willie Nelson was just a songwriter. About four years ago, in 1974, Gunter began picking and singing with area groups. In 1964 Gunter became a real estate and insurance businessman.

Congrats to the Bearden family. *****James Charles Taylor, age 83, died unexpectedly Saturday, Oct. 13. at a Baton Rouge, La., hospital. A native of Baton Rouge, the rugged Taylor is remembered as perhaps the last great fullback in professional football, a player tasked as much with carrying the football as blocking before the modern game divvied those responsibilities. He played professionally in the National Football League for ten seasons, with the Green Bay Packers from 1958 to 1966 and with the expansion New Orleans Saints in 1967. With the Packers, Taylor was invited to five straight Pro Bowls and won four NFL championships, as well as a victory in the first Super Bowl. He was recognized as the NFL Most Valuable Player after winning the rushing title in 1962, beating out Jim Brown. His confrontational attitude, combined with his tenacious running style, a penchant for contact, and ability to both withstand and deliver blows, earned him a reputation as one of the league’s toughest players.*****Trump has no redline when it comes to human rights violations. There’s a dark truth behind the murder of columnist Jamal Khashoggi, in Turkey, in the Saudi consulate. It looks less likely that Trump will expose it after he spoke with the Saudi king. Trump was impressed with his denial. It’s a re-occurring role, he apologizes for brutal leaders who draw his favor. Now he says, “Maybe it was rouge killers.” Meanwhile, Trump is stalling for time to get the midterm election over before congress demands investigation. (I say always follow the money. A reason not to call out Saudi Arabia and the Crown Prince.)*****More than 310,000 temporary protected status holders, documented residents, are now ordered to leave the U.S.A. Most have been here for decades, worked and raised their families here. Hundreds of

thousands of documented residents have been ordered by the Trump Administration to go back where they came from, many from Haiti. They are praying the federal courts will extend their stay until the new congress convenes*****The U.S. budget deficit hits highest in years, $779 billion, thanks to the big tax cut to the wealthiest. The deficit in 2019 will bust $1 trillion. Meanwhile, the stock market is down, interest rates have tripled, gas is up at the pump and big job layoffs are coming because of tariffs. Ford is laying off 23,000.****Nikki Haley U.N. Ambassador, will get out of Dodge come Jan. 1. Historians will decide Nikki Haley’s true motivation for wanting out. She called Russia’s meddling an act of “Warfare.” She called for sanctions against Russia for assisting Syria and called for Russia to immediately get out o Crimea. None of that was in step with the White House. Mostly her steady support for human rights of refugees cut across the grain with Trump.

Clovis is really nervous about da trip, him. Not too long after dey take off dem, da pilot is making da usual welcome announcements over da PA system. “Ladies and gentlemens, dis is the captain. I would like to welcome you aboard Cajun Airlines. We are flying non-stop from New Orleans to Los Angeles. Me, I expect a smooth and uneventful flight. Jus sit back and enjoy da---Oh My God!” Den dere is nuttin but silence. A minute later, da pilot comes over da PA again and say, “Ladies and gentlements, I’m sorry me if I scared you but da stewardess accidentally spilled a big cup of hot coffee in my lap. Boy, you should see da front of my pants.” Badeaux him, breath a big sigh of relief. He say “KeeYaw,” to da passenger sitting next to him, “Da front of his pants ain’t nutten, you should see da back of mine.”

C’EST TOUT

THE DOWNSIDE OF LIVING IN PARADISE The most powerful hurricane on record hit the Florida Panhandle, on the Gulf Coast. It looks like a bomb went off after the destruction from 155 mph sustained winds and violent waves. That is the price everyone who lives on the Gulf is subjected to. We love everything about living on the Coast, the picturesque seaside, the fishing, the mild winters and the scaled down pace of life. Many people are suffering, many lives will never again be the same, and some will never recover. I don’t believe people who live away from the coast fully understand the impact of being run over by a major storm. Like what happens to communities, the victims of hurricane Michael, in a week’s time, have been moved to the back pages. The television networks have gone away. CNN seems to be doing the best job of keeping the story alive. Monday, the nation’s largest newspaper, USA Today, had no mention of the storm or struggle for recovery. The same probably goes for most of the country’s major newspapers. Talk radio and TV no longer mentions last week’s destruction in Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas and Virginia. President Donald Trump held three political rallies without mentioning the recovery facing those areas. Tuesday he and the First Lady flew from Washington to survey the damage. It’s a photo-op but it will be somewhat useful to bring the extreme damage back into focus for awhile. Trump said, “It’s going to be done better than ever before by anyone.” Whatever that means. What is always so surprising to me is that the number of deaths is always smaller than seems imaginable. One death is too many, but so few deaths are a God send. I feel for the poor and the elderly, most had no insurance and no place to turn, everything is gone. *****Thanks for your time. Read us cover to cover and please shop our advertisers.

SPORTS AND OUTDOORS

GAMES THIS WEEK JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

LCM Battlin’ Bears over Splendora The Battlin’ Bears are on a roll after spoiling homecoming for Bridge City last week. They return home to play a team that defeated winless Livingston 87-21. Perhaps the visitors will still be tired from all that scoring last week and get upset by LCM Friday night.

Huffman Over BC Cardinals Both teams are winless in District 11-4A-I and are hungry for that first league victory. Huffman lost 38-31 in overtime to Lumberton while the Cardinals were overwhelmed by the LCM Battlin’ Bears in their homecoming game. Home field advantage may make the difference in this one.

Orangefield Bobcats Over Hardin The Bobcats return home after being blanked 41-0 by playoff-bound East Chambers in Winnie last week. But both Orangefield and their visitors have identical 4-2 records for the season. The Bobcats are tough to beat at F.L. McClain Stadium.

LCM Bear running back James Williams slices through the Bridge City Cardinal offense. The Bears defeated the Cardinals 33-14. This Friday LCM takes on Splendora. RECORD PHOTO: Lisa Anderson

Mustangs officially Texas’ winningest programs Dave Rogers

For The Record

The record will show that Friday, Oct. 12 was the date West OrangeStark officially became the winningest team in Texas. Their exciting 24-21 win over Silsbee, decided by the third field goal of the game by Angel Ibarra with six seconds to play, didn’t matter in the big scheme of things. The Mustangs needed just to

reach the minimum of 500 games played as a program to be on the list maintained by Texas high school stat man Joe Lee Smith, and that occurred last week. Their winning mark of .803 percent (400 wins, 97 losses and three ties) sets them at the top, above everybody. Southlake Carroll (.773), Odessa Permian (.758), Austin Westlake (.747) and Highland Park (.743) slid into the second through fifth posi-

tions. For this season, the Mustangs are 3-4. Their win over Silsbee came in their first District 10-4A, Division II game. Ibarra hit from 27, 33 and 28 yards, the last completing a comeback from a 21-13 deficit in the final 4:01 of the game. The Mustangs struck first in the game when Jay’zn Robinson returned the opening kickoff 69 yards for a score.

Ibarra’s first field goal gave WOS a 10-7 lead at halftime. Silsbee went ahead 13-10 before Ibarra kicked the Mustangs within a point. After Silsbee extended its lead to 21-13 with 10:37 left, the Mustangs tied the game 21-21 with 6:36 to go on a 6-yard Kayvon Cooper run and a two point conversion by Tyrone Wilson. Silsbee took the ensuing kickoff FOOTBALL Page 3B

Barbers Hill Over Vidor Pirates The Pirates have lost all three district games to real good teams and they’re facing another one in the Eagles this week in Mont Belvieu.

Hull-Daisetta Over Deweyville Both of the teams are searching for their first victory in District 12-2A-I and it should be a rough-and-tumble affair. The Pirates were edged by Shelbyville 34-26 while the Bobcats were trounced 51-14 by San Augustine. The Pirates will have to play a good game on both sides of the football.

Sam Houston State Over Lamar University I missed my call on the Cardinals last week when they blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown as time ran out against Incarnate Word. But they will have their hands full with these nationallyranked Bearkats and will need to play a perfect game to hang with this team.

Mustangs celebrate 500th Game with victory over Silsbee

This shouldn’t be a cakewalk, but the Pokes should remain undefeated in the Southland Conference after this road trip.

Finally ... A touch of fall

DICKIE COLBURN FISHING REPORT FOR THE RECORD

e chilly trip from the front door to my truck was enough to convince me that I was woefully under dressed for the day ahead. I wisely did an about face and swapped shorts and a tshirt for a long sleeve shirt, jeans and a wind breaker. It warmed up, but the brisk wind was cool enough to warrant wearing the warmer clothing all morning . e brief cold snap at the end of last week was not only beautiful, but a welcomed and overdue respite punctuating a brutally hot summer. e bad news is that it proved to be only a brief glimpse of a touch of fall as Mother Nature quickly ushered in more rain and yucky weather Sunday evening. e hurricane that pounded Florida and Georgia also stacked up Gulf waters ahead of landfall that magnified our own big incoming tides. e result was water high enough in the bayous to necessitate wading in ankle deep water to launch the boat. When the water finally started releasing it ushered out both shrimp and baitfish and the trout and reds were right behind them. It marked the first time this year that I have seen more than one flock of gulls working at the same time. For the most part they were working over sand trout, small specks and redfish, but the action was fast, furious and long overdue! e following day the tide only trickled out and the birds were nowhere to be found rendering the enjoyable madness of the day before even more appreciated. It has rained ever since and the bite will certainly have changed once again, but we

have put together two patterns out of desperation that I can’t wait to check out on the next trip. e first involved a decent trout bite and that in itself is special. After taking advantage of the water pouring out of the marshes the day before we switched gears and worked mid-lake shorelines at least a long cast off the bank. Terns and small pods of shad were holding that far out and the trout were right there with them. e trout were 16 to 18 inch fish with very few undersized fish mixed in with them. at meant fewer strikes per cast, but the improved keeper ratio was worth the empty casts. We fished only three inch swim baits and a four inch sea shad under a popping cork. e real key, aside from the fish being there, was that a dead calm lake made it easier to spot surface activity. e water was dirtier the farther south we fished, but it didn’t seem to negatively affect the bite. e following day, in slightly nastier weather we struck out completely until we found the redfish holding in 8 to 12 feet of water. ey were stacked up on the down current side of a pile of shell and were very selective as to what they wanted to eat. ey may have hammered live bait with the same enthusiasm, but we were fishing only artificial lures. Jay caught our first redfish bouncing a four inch Usual Suspect off the bottom and it was the only one we caught on plastic. Fortunately, and for no good reason, I threw a Hoginar at the same pile of shell and pre-

Big weekend for Texas Texans, Cowboys, Astros all winning KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR

FOR THE RECORD Last weekend had a little bit of everything for the sports nut. Local high school football fans had an opportunity to watch a game-winning field goal that made their team the winningest in the State of Texas, while a lastsecond field goal attempt to break a tie helped an area college team post its first conference win by six points instead of losing by three. Baseball fans are getting a preview of the two teams that will meet in the 2018 World Series next week while National Basketball League fans got a final look at their favorite team before the season began yesterday. e West Orange-Stark Mustangs, who are still struggling to reach the .500 mark this season, came from a 21-13 fourth-period deficit Friday night against Silsbee to score a touchdown and two-point conversion to tie the score at 21-21 and forced the Tigers to turn the ball back to the Mustangs with 34 seconds left in regulation time. e ball was on the Mustangs own 44-yard line and on the first offensive play completed a Tyrone Wilson-to-Brettlin Wiley pass for 35 yards to Silsbee’s 21 and then drove inside the 15yard line. WO-S then depended on the talented foot of sophomore Angel Ibarra whose 30-yard field goal was true, giving the Mustangs a 24-21 lead with six seconds left. e victory not only started the Mustangs on the right foot in the District 10-4A-II opener, but more significantly qualified them for having THE BEST winning percentage of all classifications in the State of Texas. According to the rules, a team must play 500 games to qualify for the honor of having the best

winning percentage in the state. e win over Silsbee Friday night was the Mustangs 400th while losing 97 and tying three times for a winning percentage of .803. Another crucial field goal was attempted in the final seconds of a Southland Conference game between winless Lamar University and undefeated Incarnate Word-- who are also the Cardinal-- at Provost-Umphrey Stadium in Beaumont. Ironically, the score in this game also was tied at 21-21 and IW freshman kicker Rhett Marshall was ready to try a 40-yard field goal to win the game. e football was blocked by Lamar’s Lane Taylor, scooped up by the speedy Caleb Abrom, who winded his way to the end zone for a 66-yard touchdown and a 27-21 victory for Lamar. Head Coach Mike Schultz used all three of Lamar’s time outs to ice the freshman kicker and it must have worked. “It was an exciting moment for our kids and our fans,” Schultz concluded after the huge celebration concluded. Major League baseball fans got to see some of the game’s best pitchers working in the first two games of the American League Championship Series (ALCS) which began in Boston between the Red Sox and our own Houston Astros, the major league’s two teams with the best won-lost records. Houston’s ace right-hander Justin Verlander was opposed by lefty Chris Sale, both high on the list to win this year’s American League Cy Young Award. Sale had trouble finding the strike zone and it turned out to bite him as the Astros scored two runs in the first inning and then never trailed, with Houston win-

ning the opener Saturday 7-2. But the tables turned on Sunday as Houston’s Gerrit Cole, who walked five and allowed five Boston runs in five innings. Boston’s starter David Price didn’t do much better and couldn’t finish the fifth inning and get credited with the 7-5 win. e action switched to Houston yesterday, where lefty Dallas Keuchel opposed Nathan Eovaldi in a late afternoon game, the first of three played in Minute Maid Park. And if everything goes “by the book,” Houston will be playing in the World Series next week. e “book” says that the top teams must win the series at home and split on the road. Houston split the Boston series 1-1, should win at home (21) and then split again in Boston (1-1) which will give them the AL pennant in six or seven games. If that doesn’t happen in favor of the Houston Astros, then I’ll burn that stupid book. KWICKIES…Four upsets in last week’s top 10 teams in the Associated Press’ Top 25 college football poll created some changes there this week. Secondranked Georgia was steamrolled by LSU 36-15, No. 6 West Virginia was overpowered by Iowa State 30-14, No. 7 Washington lost 30-27 in overtime to Oregon while No. 8 Penn State lost to Michigan State 21-17. Alabama remains secure in the top spot in this week’s poll, Ohio State moved up one place to second, idle Clemson also moved up one to No. 3, as did No. 4 Notre Dame. LSU with its huge win over Georgia catapulted from No. 13 to fifth this week and Michigan gained six places to No. 6. e surprising Texas Longhorns moved up two slots to No. 7, Georgia dropped six places to No. 8, Oklahoma came up two places to No. 9 and Central Florida remained at No. 10. ree new teams appear this week—No. 19 Iowa, No. 24

Michigan and No. 25 Washington State. e Houston Astros appear to have a better bullpen than their two playoff foes through Sunday’s five games. e Astros have scored 19 runs in the last three innings while Houston’s bullpen has only given up three runs, two of them coming Sunday. And while on the subject, Houston’s mound ace Justin Verlander has posted a brilliant 14-1 record and a 1.64 earned run average during September and October in the past two years. Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers is 9-0-1 in the Packers’ last 10 home games. JUST BETWEEN US…Both of Texas’ two National Football League’s franchises posted wins at home Sunday, although they used entirely different methods to gain the victories. e Houston Texans blew a 10-0 halftime lead and found themselves behind 13-10 to the visiting Buffalo Bills early in the fourth period. e Texans kicked a field goal with 1:34 left and appeared to be headed top their third consecutive overtime. Buffalo tried to pass on the first play after the kickoff and veteran cornerback Johnathan Joseph picked it off and danced to the end zone, giving Houston its third straight win (20-13) and a three-way tie for first place in the AFC South Division with Tennessee and Jacksonville. e Dallas Cowboys, despite being a one-point underdog at home, made Jacksonville’s highly-respected defense look like they were playing in a middle school game. e Pokes pounded the Jaguar’s defense for 378 total yards and limited the visitors to a single touchdown in the third period, trouncing the Jaguars 40-7. Jacksonville’s defense has surrendered 70 points in the past two games. Houston travels to Jacksonville this week while the Cowboys are on the road to Washington.

Practice at the range spells success afield

OUTDOORS WEEKLY CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE FOR THE RECORD

It happens every year at this time, they come in huge numbers with that panicked look of “I am way b e h i n d schedule” etched all over their faces. ey scurry to the shooting table with a riﬂe that has not seen daylight since last hunting season or a cleaning kit since who knows when? As they line up and start blasting away at the down range targets each one hopes that they can just put together a group that will kill a deer. Invariably these groups are sloppy and unpredictable at best, not even close to what the hunter and his weapon are capable of but they are acceptable for the time being. en all at once the riﬂes are tucked away in their protective cases and stowed in the hunters vehicle never to be looked at again until opening morning. Now these hunters are the same ones that have been feeding, scouting, plotting, and planning for months in preparation for the opening of deer season. e same hunters who have 4wheelers or 4 wheel drives that are more show than go. ey also have the latest and greatest camo, tree stands, blinds, and gadgets on the market. Now what’s wrong with the picture? e most important element of the process has been the most neglected, their weapon. Easily the most overlooked element in shooting sports today is the lack of practice or

familiarity with ones weapon. It could be archery, shotguns, rifles, or handguns, most people simply do not shoot enough to become proficient in the field under hunting conditions. Archers spend lots of time shooting at targets and learning how their set ups perform because they can shoot just about anywhere, gun hunters on the other hand have to get to a range which takes a little more effort. In general most hunters are guilty of not shooting enough rounds through their weapons. Wing shooters greatly benefit from practice sessions on the skeet or trap range, the actual sharpened skills they develop not only make them better hunters it also makes time in the field much more enjoyable. Missing shot after shot is not many hunters idea of a good time. Rifle hunters need to spend some time at the range getting comfortable with their chosen

caliber and learning what both they and their guns are capable of doing. Once they have their gun dialed in and shooting well from the bench it is important to take some practice shots from different positions that simulate hunting conditions. e more prepared you are as a hunter the more successful you will be in the field. Another often overlooked aspect of shooting is keeping your weapon clean. Neglected guns will not shoot nearly as well, rifle barrels that have build up in them will cause “flyers” or shots that stray off the mark dramatically. Proper care and maintenance can keep you gun shooting like new for many years. Take some time before opening weekend gets here and hit the range, you owe it to yourself and the game you pursue to be the best shot you can possibly be. e extra practice will pay off big in the long run.

Lay Aside the Weight of Discouragement Jon Bloom Staff writer, desiringGod.org

Discouragement often feels circumstantially determined, something we can’t help feeling because powerful forces beyond our control are causing it. That’s why our response to discouragement is often passive — we sit, weighed down with a heavy spiritual listlessness looking at the world through the grey, bleak lenses of fear. Yes, discouragement is a species of fear. It is a loss of courage. We don’t always recognize discouragement as fear because it can feel like hopelessness with a side of cynicism. We might even call it depression because we have an accumulation of fears that are intermingled and seem somewhat undefined. And, of course, if we’re discouraged, we feel depressed. We feel like giving up. And when we feel like giving up, we are vulnerable to a whole range of temptations. When we give in to those temptations, our sin just confirms our discouragement, and we easily slip into a cycle in which fear drives us into hiding, hiding opens us to sins of selfishness and self-indulgence, and caving in increases our sense of helplessness and self-pity. So we sit, weighed down by fear and condemnation, feeling stuck. But God doesn’t want us feeling stuck. Jesus didn’t endure crucifixion so we would live defeated. He has purchased our forgiveness of sins, our freedom from the weight of fear, and our power to overcome the world, our flesh, and the devil. Discouragement is not as powerful as it feels. We can defeat it if we confront it. Discouragement Defeated A famous biblical example of discouragement is when the twelve spies returned after scoping out the Promised Land. They reported the land indeed “[flowed] with milk and honey,” but the inhabitants were “strong,” some were giants, and the cities “fortified and very large” (Numbers

13:27–28). Ten of the twelve spies said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are” (Numbers 13:31). This so discouraged the people that they refused to trust in God’s promises and power. As a result, they wandered in the wilderness forty more years. Only Joshua and Caleb, the two faithful spies, lived to see those fears defeated. Another famous example was the discouragement Saul and his army felt over Goliath’s challenges and taunts (1 Samuel 17). Fear immobilized all the warriors until a teenage shepherd named David arrived with faith in a huge God. He stood up to the giant, and dropped Goliath face down with one stone (1 Samuel 17:49). Then suddenly full of courage, Israel decimated the Philistines. A New Testament example is found in Acts 4, after the same council that had facilitated Jesus’s death threatened Peter, John, and the rest of the Christians. When the apostles reported these threats, everyone felt the seriousness. But the church responded very differently than the ancient Israelites or Saul’s army. When tempted with discouragement, instead of being immobilized by fear, they responded with faith, asked God for help, and as a result “were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness” (Acts 4:31). Strengthen Your Weak Knees While we are not facing fortified Canaanite cities, or giants with javelins, or councils with crosses, we face a number of things in life that tempt us to lose courage. One morning recently, discouragement settled over me like a thick, grey fog. I didn’t even recognize what it was at first. I just felt fear creeping over me that all my hope in God would end up disappointed. My courage started draining out of me, and suddenly I didn’t have energy to read my Bible or pray or do anything spiritually meaningful.

Then I caught myself and said, “Why am I fearing that God won’t be faithful?” Then I recalled numerous times when God had been wonderfully faithful to me, as well as numerous times I had felt needlessly discouraged — just like this time. I began to talk back to my fears and to the devil: “No! I’m not falling for this again!” I prayed for God’s help. Then I took up my Bible and in my scheduled readings read this wonderful text: Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed. Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. (Hebrews 12:12–14) Faith-fueled courage poured in and revived me. The grey, depressing outlook changed into a color-filled world of hope in God. And my spirit, which just minutes before had cowered in discouragement, was full of the bold energy of the Holy Spirit. Confront Discouragement Satan loves to tempt us with discouragement because he knows we are easily intimidated by what is or looks dangerous and overwhelming. He casts God as the bad guy for bringing us to this hopeless place, and then encourages us to feel justified in feeling discouraged. The way out of this demonic deception is to confront the discouragement head on. How do we do this? First, we ask, “Why are you cast down, O my soul?” (Psalm 42:5). Press for an answer. Second, we preach to our

souls to “hope in God” (Psalm 42:5). Don’t listen to discouraging self-talk; preach courage-building promises. Third, we lift our drooping hands and strengthen our weak knees (Hebrews 12:12). Pick up our Bibles and get on our praying knees and pursue the strength that God supplies (1 Peter 4:11). Fourth, we make straight paths for our feet (Hebrews 12:13). Get out of the mental or physical place that is making us stumble in discouragement. Fifth, we strive for holiness (Hebrews 12:14). We are made holy through faith in the justifying work of Christ, and we walk in holiness through the obedience of faith (Romans 1:5). Walking by faith in Christ is not easy. It is a striving (Hebrews 4:11); it is a fight (1 Timothy 6:12). It’s meant to be hard. God has all sorts of sanctifying good for us in all the fighting he requires of us. When we’re discouraged, remember the Canaanites, remember Goliath, remember the council, and remember your own stories — when God showed up to deliver you from discouragement. What discourages us is not as powerful as it feels in the moment. We overcome our fear by confronting our discouragement and exercising faith in God’s promises. Those are precious moments in which we will see the power of God. Jon Bloom (@Bloom_Jon) serves as author, board chair, and co-founder of Desiring God.

#YOUMATTER@BCISD National Junior Honor Society Students Inducted at October Ceremony

Students Participate In “Start With Hello”

BCMS students recently participated in Start with Hello, a youth violence prevention program from the Sandy Hook Promise foundation. The intent of Start with Hello is to help students create a more inclusive, happy, and safe school community and ease social isolation among their peers. During the last week of September, Activity Period was dedicated to activities for respect, acceptance, positive communication and team collaboration. Board members Patty Collins and Judy Cole were in attendance to greet students and model how to begin each day with Start with Hello. Students also participated in creating a social contract based on positive messages and promises they aim to fulfill this school year.

Congratulations to the following students for being inducted into this year’s NJHS Justin Abate Isabella Moore Brandon Barbosa Jr. Marlee Mouton Jim Sharon Bearden III Daelyn Perry Anthony Bellanger Adisyn Powell Annalise Briggs Aiden Richey Walker Britten Paige Taylor

PTO Beautifies BCMS to Welcome Back Cardinals Since July, BCMS PTO has been hard at work to improve the experience of students on campus. Along with fundraisers for Cardinal shirts, umbrellas, and pop sockets to support student incentives and activities, President Mrs. Julie Bock and Vice President Amanda Jaetzold have gone above and beyond by giving the half century old campus a face lift. Campus bathrooms have been painted with bright colors and positive messages of encouragement and praise; campus walls, cafeteria windows, and door windows have been slapped with similarly colorful and positive vinyl for students to see each day.

Staff Create Student and Teacher Portraits during August Preservice During a staff training on creating high expectations for student success, BCMS staff developed the first portrait of a BCMS student and teacher. Staff collaborated to complete an affinity diagram, an instructional tool used to gather large amounts of ideas and opinions and organize them into themed groups. Five common traits emerged to describe the ideal student and the ideal teacher. For students, the BCMS student is a Distinguished Achiever, an Active Learner, a Compassionate Citizen, a Role Model, and a Future Shaper. For teachers, the BCMS teacher is an Instructional Specialist, a Difference Maker, a Relationship Builder, an Effective Modeler, and a Team Player. BCMS staff will refer to the portraits throughout the year to reinforce the goals, values, and beliefs of Bridge City.

New Clubs Lead to Renewed Interest in Theater Arts Program In response to students completing a beginning of the year interest survey, BCMS has brought back Cardinals4Christ, continued to offer Chess Club and Art Club, and added an Outdoors Club, an Astronomy Club, Unified Champions, and a Theater Arts Club. In particular, the Theater Arts Club has drawn significant interest due to the potential of being added as a class for the 2019-2020 school year.
