‘Bass Champs’ to bring championship teams to Orange Tommy Mann Jr. For The Record

The latest in a line of highprofile fishing tournaments has set its sights on Orange as the Bass Champs 2016 Team Championship event will take place this fall on the Sabine River. The fishing event will feature approximately 300 teams with 600 anglers competing for more than $200,000, at minimum, in guaranteed

cash and prizes, which includes two Skeeter boats. Ida Schossow, president of the Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce, and John Gothia, a past chairman of the chamber and one of the three key figures with David Jones and David Sandlin who have been responsible for luring big fishing events to Orange, presented information about the upcoming Bass Champs Championship and

requested $30,000 in hotel occupancy tax funds. These funds will be used to market the event through a variety of media outlets, as

well as activities for anglers and for the event itself. “This is something we have been working on for a while, but there where things we

were working on during that process that Bass Champs was waiting on,” Gothia said. “The main thing was the 12-inch rule change on the limit size

for fish in the Sabine River, which goes into effect September 1st. That is what really

Event focuses on hazardous waste Tommy Mann Jr. For The Record

It is time for some serious spring cleaning for those who are looking to dispose of a variety of typical household hazardous products and chemicals. The South East Texas Regional Planning Commission will hold its annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event from 8 a.m. - 1 p.m., Saturday, May 14, in the parking lot of Lumberton High School, which is located at 103 S. LHS Drive in Lumberton and is off

State Highway 69 South. According to Bob Dickinson of the South East Texas Regional Planning Commission, the event, which is held once per year, is open to residents of Hardin County, Jefferson County and Orange County. “The typical household has approximately 100 pounds of hazardous chemicals and various other items,” he explained. “People keep all kinds of stuff under their sinks that accummulate over time. Now think about how much stuff people might possibly have in a garage or even a storage build-

ing.” The annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection event rotates among the counties every three years and is scheduled for Hardin County this year. In 2015, the event was held in Jefferson County at the Bob Bowers Civic Center in Port Arthur and last held in Orange County in 2014 when it was held at Bridge City Intermediate School. The yearly event is solely for individuals and not businesses and is designed to allow residents to dispose of a variety of potentially hazardous and

dangerous substances and products which are generally not so easiley disposable. A variety of items may be brought to the school and disposed of, including a variety of automobile items such as antifreeze, brake fluid, used oils and oil filters, car batteries and other automotive waste products. Painting supplies, solvents, varnishes, paint strippers, as well as wood preservatives may be disposed of on Saturday, along with gardening sup-

Bartee Haile is the leading Texas history newspaper columnist in the Lone Star State today. A fourth or fifth generation Texan, he can’t say for sure, he began writing “This Week in Texas History” for small-town and suburban newspapers back in 1983. Today it is the longest-running statewide feature of its kind ever. In 2013, The History Press of Charleston, South Carolina in-

vited Bartee to write a book for them on any subject of his choosing. The result was “Texas Depression-Era Desperadoes” published January 2014. He followed that in November 2014 with “Murder Most Texan.” His third and latest book, which he will discuss that afternoon, is entitled “Texas Boomtowns: A History of Blood and Oil.” Bartee was born in Dallas the month after the Japanese surrender ended the Second World War. Growing up in a family of corporate gypsies, he attended 13 schools in 12 years prior to graduating from Richardson High School in 1964. He obtained his college education at Texas Tech in Lubbock and Southern Methodist University

in Dallas. Bartee lives in the Houston area with his wife of more than 40 years. They have a grown son and a seven-year old granddaughter. Spindletop-Gladys City Boomtown is a replica of the boomtown that grew up around the Spindletop oil fields in the early 1900’s.

Coach Gilligan heads into final week for LU Staff Report For The Record

Heading into his final weekend as a head coach in the dugout at Vincent-Beck Stadium, the City of Beaumont made a proclamation Tuesday stating that May 13-15 will be designated as Jim Gilligan Days around the town for the years of service he has provided Lamar University and the Beaumont community. “It was very, very nice of Mayor (Becky Ames) and the city council to present this to me. Tell everybody they have off for the next three days,” said Gilligan with a grin. Gilligan was joined at City Hall by assistant coach (and head coach in waiting) Will Davis, two players Will Hibbs and Travis Moore as well as clubhouse assistant Nolan Frost. Big Red and various members of the Lamar University athletics department were there to share in his celebration. “It was quite an honor, and I am

From The Creaux’s Nest WELCOME TO ANOTHER EDITION I have a long way to go and I’m running late but I’d be proud if you came along, I hope to report on a little bit of everything. Grab a seat and come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm. THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL For months Donald Trump insisted he would finance his own campaign. He destroyed his 16 opponents saying he was the only candidate not taking campaign donations. “I’m not going to take any money,” he said. At a news conference last month he also said, “I will repel the influence peddlers by refusing all contributions.” I said at the time that was bull-corn that Donald would never use large sums of his own money and after the Primary his true colors would come out. Well, on his first day as the Party’s nominee he announced that he will start soliciting donations to fund his general election campaign. His out is he will claim to be raising money to help the Party. “I’m not looking out for my self.” he said, which of course is another lie. The race will cost a billion dollars, even though Trump said he could self finance, he can’t afford it, plus, it’s all about the money with Donald. Win or lose, he’s going to make money. He claims to be worth $10 billion, another lie. According to Bloomberg Analysis, they put his net worth at 2.9 billion, $225 million in cash and other assets. He could generate about $200 million by selling the remaining condominiums at Park Avenue or by taking loans out against Trump Towers, valued at $490 million. Trump said on MSNBC that he could sell a couple of buildings, and then added, “I don’t know that I want to do that.” FactCheck has dubbed Trump the “King of Whoppers.” In 12 years of factcheck.org’s existence, we’ve never seen his match. PolitiFact says, “Bending the truth or being unhampered by accuracy is a strategy he has followed for years.” It adds, “We have been documenting Trump’s statements on our Truth-OMeter, where we’ve rated 76 percent of them mostly false or Pants on Fire out of 77 statements checked.” Other fact checkers say, “Trump makes four Pinocchio statements over and over again even though fact checkers say they are false. In a piece for Politico titled “Confessions of a Trump Tabloid Scribe,” Susan Muncahy who has followed Trump for the New York Post since the 1980’s, says, “Trump could not control his pathological lying. If Trump said, ‘Good morning,’ you could be pretty sure it was 5 p.m. in the afternoon.” Investors are concerned; they believe there is much risk associated with Trump. He has gone on record saying China is not playing fair so he will slap tariffs on Chinese imports. Trump could start a trade war if he were to impose a 30 percent or 40 percent tariff on Chinese goods and on other countries like Japan and Mexico. This could have a dire impact on the economy and be extremely disruptive to certain countries and sectors of the global economy. His off the cuff remarks could spark markets around the globe... Four bankruptcies should convince everyone that his fifth could bankrupt the United States. What worries me most is to have someone with such a big ego that he won’t listen to any one. The Pentagon and generals won’t be able to advise him. His ego will say he’s smarter than they are and he’s the one with his finger on the button... A CAT’S TALE Jack Smith, his wife Juliet, brother Scott and cat, “Mr. Kitty,” drove to the Smith mountain home in Colorado for a few days vacation. “Mr. Kitty” hates auto trips. While loading the car to return to Texas, “Mr. Kitty” retreated inside the house. Ready to go they went inside to get him however, couldn’t locate him. With a flashlight Jack looked everywhere, in closets, on hands and knees under beds, for over two hours they looked. Finally deciding “Mr. Kitty” must have gotten out, they searched the area for another hour. Finally giving up, they assumed one of the wild animals had gotten him. They drove home in sadness. They loved that old cat. When they arrived home, the phone was ringing, it was the maid who had gone to the Colorado home and low and behold, “Mr. Kitty” was sitting there, probably wondering why they left him. Jack contacted a pet transport company who wanted $700 to bring “Mr. Kitty” to Orange but it would be 10 days before they could do it. To fly him would cost $1,500, so with only one night’s rest they left on the 2400-mile trip the next day. They drove two days. Needless to say, “Mr. Kitty” was glad to see them. The Smith’s got a nights rest and early the next morning they prepared to leave but were careful to put “Mr. Kitty” in his carrying cage and started the two day trip home. Tired after a week on the road Jack says that the cat hating to car ride and hiding, cost him nearly $400 in gasoline and motel bills, but worse, now when he rides in a car he has to sit on a donut and hates it almost as much as “Mr. Kitty.” His wife loves that cat and Jack knows how to get along. Now they are all a happy family again. You just gotta love Jack. What a guy. TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME 10 Years Ago-2006 Cardinal distance runner Aaron Brannen achieves his lifelong goal by winning double gold at the UIL State Track and Field Championship in Austin. The Bridge City senior won first place in both 3200-meter and 1600-meter runs. Meanwhile, teammate Sam

Elmore won bronze in the doubles. That’s three gold medals for Brannen in one year. He won the gold in cross country earlier. I doubt we will see the likes of this young man again.

The talk was mostly bout da New Orleans Saints. All of a sudden Tee-Man says, “Cuz, I tink I’m going to divorce my wife Clotile yea, she hasn’t spoken to me in two months, her.” Clovis sip on his beer and finally replies, “Tee-Man, you better tink bout dat, womens like dat them are hard to find.” C’EST TOUT The Gulf Coast’s steamy climate with abundance of mosquitoes is ripe for the Zika Virus, which has spread to 37 countries and territories in the Americas. The disease causes devastating birth defects and has been liked to paralysis and other complications. The Zika Virus could arrive in the continental U.S. in the next few weeks. It only takes one person infected to arrive in a location and then the transmission cycle is off and running. The GOP is slow to endorse action on President Obama’s request for $1.9 billion to combat Zika. Even the onset of mosquitoes coming hasn’t created any urgency. Republicans from Gulf States have been slow to endorse Obama’s two month old request. The National Governor’s Association is urging the administration and lawmakers to work together to reach an agreement for funding levels needed to prepare for and combat Zika Virus because it’s coming. Sen. Marco Rubio, who supports the President’ bill said in a speech, “It’s a matter of days, weeks, before you open a newspaper and it will say that someone in the United States was bitten by a mosquito and they contracted Zika. When that happens, everyone is going to freak out. This is going to happen.” Rubio calls for immediate action. My bet is that partisan politics will put it off until it’s too late to prepare. *****Well, I’ve run out of time. Thanks for yours. Take care and God bless.

Bass Champs coming to Orange helped us get the deal done with Bass Champs.” In 2013 and 2015, the Bassmaster Elite Series held bass fishing tournaments on the Sabine River and thousands of people attended each day of the respective four-day events with approximately 100 anglers each time. The Bassmaster Elite Series tournaments had a significant economic impact each year, and this tournament potentially could as well. The Bass Champs 2016 Team Championship will be held on Saturday, Oct. 8 and Sunday, Oct. 9 on the Sabine River in Orange. Anglers will be allowed to practice on the river system prior to the tournament from Wednesday, Oct. 5, through Friday, Oct. 7, 2016. According to Schossow, the tournament is expected to have an economic impact of approximately $2 million on Orange and Orange County. “We should see a large number of attendees at this event,” Schossow explained. “It will not be like Bassmasters, but you never know. There will be more anglers with this event, and many of these anglers will be traveling with family since this is the championship.” There will not a festival held in conjunction with this tournament as has been done with previous fishing tournaments on the Sabine River, mostly due to the fact that the field of anglers is so much larger and the additional grounds will be utilized for parking of vehicles and trailers. The approval of the $30,000 in hotel occupancy tax funds from the Orange County Commissioners on Tuesday afternoon gives the green light for the deal to be finalized with Bass Champs.

“They were just waiting on this request to be approved by Commissioners,” Gothia added. “They have anglers ready to start booking their hotel rooms. We expect over 300 teams from four states to be part of this, and many of them have families who will be traveling with them. That’s a big boost to the economy right there.” Along with the expected economic impact, there will be substantial media coverage of the event, especially on television. The championship event will be aired at a later date on The World Fishing Network, as well as Fox Sports Southwest, and will feature coverage of the tournament, along with area activities, history of the area, lodging and information on the Sabine River. Bass Champs, Inc. was founded in 1997 by its president Chad Potts and is the only grass roots tournament organizer to provide national television exposure for its anglers and sponsors. With more than 30 events held each year, the majority of which are in Texas, Bass Champs has given away over $27,000,000 in cash and prizes, which includes more than 175 bass boats, 90 ATV’s and 35 trucks.

Deaths & Memorials Judyth Cole Orange Judyth Ann Hoffpauir Cole, 70, of Orange, left this world and returned to her Lord and Savior’s loving arms on May 7. She fought a long battle with cancer, but is now happily reunited with her family in Heaven, Judyth where she will great us all with a big Cole smile one day. Judy was born May 2, 1946, in Beaumont, to John Emery “Joe” Hoffpauir and Alice Marie (Smith) Hasson. She by no means had a perfect, easy life. Very often times were tough, sometimes tougher than anyone should’ve had to deal with. But she always pulled through, thanks to her never ending faith and the help of her God. He got her through more things that we can list here, but she always believed in him, and even in her darkest times, she was ministering to others. Constantly sharing her faith with anyone she met, she touched many people with her testimony and her unrelenting belief. She was a member of a number of churches during her life, each one blessed to know her, but her final church was Christian Fellowship Worship Center in Beaumont. She loved her church dearly, and hated any time she had to miss attending. The only thing Judy loved as much as the Lord was her family. She loved them more than words can say. Besides the Lord, she considered her daughter, Betty Jo, to be her life and love and she never failed to show that. Judy constantly served the Lord by helping others, whether that was through sharing his word or sharing her talents. A fabulous cook, she collected recipes (a house full, as her daughter will attest to) and would always bring a covered dish to church gatherings or family reunions. In her younger days, she was a baker for the family, making elaborate and beautiful birthday cakes and wedding cakes for anyone who needed them. Over the years, she led Sunday School classes, Vacation Bible Schools, church plays and performances and coordinated anything that was needed at her churches. Judy also shared the Lord through music, singing in church choirs and visiting nursing homes to sing for those who needed their spirit lifted. She sang specials in church, using her voice to praise the Lord, and while she played other instruments in her youth, most people knew her as “The Spoon Lady.” She played the spoons every chance she got, carrying them always in her purse just in case an upbeat song came on at church or even a family reunion. She used all of her talents and gifts to help others and we were all blessed because of it. Judy was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Roy Hoffpauir and sister, Connie Philbin. She is survived by her loving and forever grateful daughter, Betty Jo Cole; brothers and sisters who cherished her, Janice Savant, Dudley Hasson and wife Debra, Fred Hasson and wife Jackie, Parker Hasson and wife Dee, Marion Robinson and husband Art, Charlie Hasson and wife Ann and Debbie LaFour; her precious pups who miss her lap terribly, Chi Chi and Chloe and more nieces, nephews, cousins, former in-laws and friends than anyone could ever count. A memorial service will be held Wednesday, May 11, at 10:00 a.m. at Claybar Funeral Home in Orange, with a gathering of friends and family beginning one hour earlier. Officiating will be Pastor Rick White of Christian Fellowship Worship Center in Beaumont. The family would like to thank the staff of Heart to Heart Hospice, in particular Billy Papania and Dr. Kimberly Pitts, as well as everyone at The Medical Center of Southeast Texas for all of their loving support during Judy’s final weeks. And finally, in Judy’s own words: “We have the hope and joy of seeing each other again soon. Some sooner than others. Time is short. Don’t waste it.”

The Bridge City Cardinals baseball machine is on the march and moving on to the next round of the Class 4A baseball playoffs following a sweep of the Liberty Panthers this past weekend. The Cardinals defeated the Panthers 7-4 in game one on Friday evening in Liberty, and then secured a trip to the Area round of the playoffs with a 6-1, game two victory at home on Saturday, May 7. Cardinals pitcher Tanner Doiron had four strikeouts during Saturday’s outing, while the Bridge City batters collected 10 hits against the Panthers pitching staff. Liber-

ty scored its only run in the top of the fifth inning following a bad throw that pushed a Panthers baserunner across the plate. Bridge City, the runner-up team from District 24-4A, adances to the Area round and will take on the Bellville Brahmas, the District 21-4A champions. Bellville defeated Houston Scarborough, the fourth place team from District 224A, in the Bi-District round of the playoffs by a score of 24-1. The Cardinals and Brahmas will play a three- game series this weekend with game one at 7 p.m., Friday, at Goose Creek Memorial High School in Baytown. Game two will be at 1 p.m., Saturday, May 14, in Baytown with game three to fol-

low 30 minutes after the completion of game two, if it is necessary. The West Orange-Stark Mustangs wasted little time in establishing its playoff momentum this past Friday, May 6, with a 14-2 victory over the Splendora Wildcats in the one-game Bi-District series victory. Behind the dominant pitching of junior Jack Dallas, who had 11 strikeouts from the mound, the Mustangs kept the Wildcats in check and dominated every phase of the game on Friday, as the team hopes to make another trip to Austin and the Class 4A State Championship game. With the Mustangs leading 2-1 following three innings,

May 12. Game two will be at 5 p.m., Friday, May 13, and game three, if necessary, will start 30 minutes following the end of game two. The winners of the Bridge City and Caldwell series and the West Orange-Stark and Giddings series will collide the following week in the Region III Regional quarterfinals of the Class 4A baseball playoffs. The Little Cypress-Mauriceville Bears shocked the HuffmanHargrave Falcons this past Saturday with a come-from-behind 9-7 victory at Gibbons Field on the campus of LC-M High Schoool. Trailing the No. 9 state-ranked Falcons 5-0 midway through the fifth inning, the Bears made a dramatic comeback and scored seven runs in the bottom of the fifth-inning courtesy of two Huffman-Hargrave erros and a Mitchell Lee home run which knotted the game up at 5-5. The Bears added two more runs in the bottom of the sixth inning, which was exactly what the team needed as it held off a comeback attempt by the Falcons in the top of the seventh inning to clinch the game. The Falcons, the champions of District 23-4A, displayed its offensive firepower early and often as the team scored runs in the first, second, fourth and fifth innings before the Bears mounted their exciting comeback. LC-M will now face the Caldwell Hornets, the third place team in District 21-4A, which defeated Houston Washington 28-0 in its Bi-district contest this past weekend. The Bears and Hornets will face off in a three-game series beginning at 7 p.m., Friday, May 13, at Humble Summer Creek High School in Humble. Game two will be at 2 p.m., Saturday, May 14, in Humble with game three to follow 30 minutes after completion of game two, if necessary. The winner of the LC-M and Caldwell series will advance to the Region III Regional quarterfinals of the Class 4A baseball playoffs and face the winner of the Silsbee and Navasota series.

The Bridge City Lady Cardinals softball season came to a screeching halt this weekend courtesy of the Caldwell Lady Hornets. The Lady Hornets defeated the Bridge City Lady Cardinals twice this past weekend to claim the best of three series and will now advance to the Region III Area round of the Class 4A playoffs. The Lady Cardinals season ends with a 29-4 record. Caldwell, the runner-up team from District 21-4A, defeated the Lady Cardinals in game 1 on Friday (May 6) in Livingston by a score of 3-2 in an eight inning matchup of

two powerhouse teams. On Saturday (May 7), the Lady Hornets unleashed its offensive firepower and shutout Bridge City, 9-0. Caldwell’s batters had six hits against Bridge City pitcher Kassidy Wilbur, while Caldwell pitcher Casey Kauder limited the usually dominant Lady Cardinals batters to three hits. Kauder pitched a complete game and struck out six on the way to the Caldwell win. Caldwell will now face the Liberty Lady Panthers, the District 23-4A champions, in the Area round. The Lady Panthers ended the Orangefield Lady Bobcats season in the Bi-District round of the playoffs in late April.

Cowboy’s sorting out crowded RB spot Staff Report For The Record Teams don’t draft running backs in the Top 5 and expect to ease them into the mix. Ezekiel Elliott was the No. 4 overall pick and should step right into a starting role, despite having veteran backs behind him. The upside on Elliott, who is considered a threedown player, was too strong for the Cowboys to pass on. Just a full year removed from DeMarco Murray’s recordbreaking season, the Cowboys tried the by-committee approach last year, and while Joseph Randle proved he wasn’t the answer, Darren McFadden came on strong near the end, rushing for 1,089 yards, the fifth-most in the NFL last season. Now, expect Elliott to handle the role of the every-down back like Murray assumed last

year. But he’ll have some experienced players behind in the form of McFadden and Alfred Morris, a four-year vet who made two Pro Bowls with the Redskins. And don’t count out Lance Dunbar, who is coming back from a knee injury that probably will sideline him for training camp and the start of the season. The Cowboys also drafted sixth-round pick Darius Jackson from Eastern Michigan. Typically, the Cowboys will keep just three tailbacks on the roster but for now, there are five running backs in the mix, suggesting it will be an interesting next few months to sort out this position. Don’t Forget About: Nick Eatman: As strong of a runner as Elliott has proven to be at Ohio State, he got just as much praise for his pass-catch-

ing ability. Some Cowboys scouts compared his hands to the best receivers in the draft. So the notion that Elliott can come off the field on third downs for McFadden or even Dunbar, might be premature. Elliott was drafted so high because of his ability to do numerous things, including passblock. Rob Phillips: The health and continuity of the offensive line will be a key component for Elliott and the running backs. The line has been remarkably durable the last couple years, but if you remember, Travis Frederick was the only projected starter who didn’t miss time in training camp due to injury. As good as this group is with three multiple-time Pro Bowlers, they all need reps together as a five-man unit and time to develop a rhythm with all the running backs, but par-

ticularly the featured runner. David Helman: For all the debating we might do about how many running backs the Cowboys carry on their roster, don’t forget that it might be a moot point. Lance Dunbar tore both his ACL and his MCL last October, and Cowboys officials have expressed concern that he might not be available in time for training camp. I’m not going to be surprised if Dunbar starts the 2016 season on the Physically Unable to Perform list, which would open a roster spot for a fourth running back – presumably Darius Jackson. The Cowboys carried four running backs in addition to a fullback at time last year, so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them do it again. Dunbar’s injury might save them from having to make any tough decisions at the outset of the season.

Congratulations to Bridge City senior Tanner Doiron on his commitment to further his playing career! Alvin JC Tanner Dorion is the son of Buffy Dorion Harper and Rickey Harper, and Terry and Whitney Dorion. Taryn Dorion. Nyquist -- the favorite to win the Kentucky Derby -- did just that by more than two lengths this past weekend.

Big weekend for sports world KAZâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S KORNER JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

Although Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day came a bit early (second Sunday in May) this year, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop the world of sports from having big events on its calendar. The Kentucky Derby ran Saturday at Churchill Downs like it has for the past 142 years without an upset, baseball continued on the major league, collegiate and high school levels and the PGA Tour event had an exciting finish Sunday afternoon. For the second year in a row the undefeated Kentucky Derby favoriteâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Nyquistâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;won the Run for the Roses like he was supposed to by some 2Â˝ lengths. It was the eighth straight victory for the colt, but the first time he ever ran 1Âź miles. Nyquist not only ran the distance without any visible stress, but he toured the Churchill Downs track in the fastest time (2:01.31) since Funny Cide posted a 2:01.19 in 2003. And he won the race in front of the second-largest Churchill Downs crowd of 167,227. The all-time best attendance was 170,513. Nyquist is the eighth horse to finish the Kentucky Derby unbeaten, joining Triple Crown winners Seattle Slew (1977), and more recently Smarty Jones (2004), Barbaro (2006) and Big Brown (2008). Nyquist was a 2-1 favorite in the 20-horse Derby and allowed pace setter Danzing Candy and Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith to set swift early fractions. At the six-furlong mark Danzing Candy was finished. The lead was taken over by Gun Runner, but Nyquist showed a burst of speed and flew past Gun Runner like he was standing still. Exaggerator, the second choice at 5-1 made a bid for the lead, but Nyquist kept moving and crossed the wire, never concerned about Exaggerator. Nyquist was supposed to be shipped to Baltimore Monday to prepare for the second leg of

the Triple Crown, the Preakness at Pimlico on May 21. The Derby winner paid $6.6o to win, $4.80 to place and $3.60 to show. Exaggerator returned $5.40 and $4.20 and Gun Runner paid $6.00 to show. The high school baseball playoffs continued last weekend with the top four teams in District 24-4A all advancing after downing the top four teams in District 23-4A. The 2015 state runner-up in Class 4A-2â&#x20AC;&#x201D;West Orange-Stark Mustangsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;had an easy time in their bi-district meeting with a 14-2 slashing of Splendora. Junior right-hander Jack Dallas fanned 11 for the mound victory and helped his own cause by going 3-for 4 at the plate and driving in four runs. The Bridge City Cardinals, who captured the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 25th district championship last month, tamed Liberty 7-4 Friday and 6-1 Saturday, The Redbirds will play District 21-4A champion Bellville this week. Perhaps the most exciting playoff game Saturday was between fourth-seeded Little Cypress-Mauriceville and No. 9-ranked District 23-4A champion Huffman. Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pitcher Mitchell Lee fell behind early, but came to bat in the bottom of the fifth inning with runners on first and third with his team trailing 5-2. He was told by Head Coach Steve Griffith to put the ball in the air to avoid a double play. Lee listened to his coach real well and put the ball into the air like he was told and it carried right out of the ball park for a three-run home run to tie the score The Bears added two more runs and held on for a 9-7 bi-district win over the Falcons. Silsbee also won their series Saturday with a 3-1 victory over Tarkington to complete the sweep over District 23-4A.

On the college scene the Lamar Cardinals failed to gain any ground on the Southland Conference-leading Southeastern Louisiana Lions, who came into Beaumont and swept the Big Red in three-game weekend series. It was the first time this season Lamar has been swept in a three-game series. Lamar concludes the regular season with a three-game series against Sam Houston that begins Friday night at VincentBeck Stadium in Beaumont. The Cardinals (31-15 overall and 16-8 in the SLC) still have a shot at the No. 2 seed in next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Southland Conference Tournament KWICKIESâ&#x20AC;ŚThe Houston Astros stood at 4-3 through Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5-1 victory over Seattle in their 10-game home stand which ends tonight (Wed.) against the Cleveland Indians. But the Stroes still are entrenched in the AL West Division cellar and will have a hard time moving up unless they have a big winning streak soon.

LSCPA’s Porras wins $40,000 arts scholarship in Florida If Skylar Porras has his way, the future of education will reside in a virtual reality where students from around the world converge in a magical hands-on learning experience. Porras, an Academic Studies major, is something more than just a dreamer whose idea of education leaves the boundaries of the tangible. e sophomore students at Lamar State College Port Arthur now has the backing to make his dreams come true. He was recently awarded the Dean’s Scholarship at Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida, the preeminent school on graphic electronic design. e scholarship is $10,000 a year for four years. “is is an incredible opportunity,” Porras said. “It’s a dream come true. I had always hoped I could pursue a career in education, but I wanted to do something new, something inventive. Education based in a virtual reality world will be huge for the future of education.” Porras, a 2010 graduate of Port Neches-Groves High School, will pursue a Computer Animation degree at Ringling College. His purpose is to learn how to create true-to-life representations of objects that can then be used to train students through a virtual reality classroom. “e future of computer technology is limitless. ere have been advancements in the ﬁeld of virtual reality that already make it a viable educational solution,” Porras said. “I’m hoping to take that to the next level.” Porras explained that his vision of education, from manufacturing to medicine, would allow students from around the world to remotely enter a virtual reality classroom where they would participate in hands-on experiments and projects without the expense of costly real-world equipment. “Imagine being able to do surgery on a virtual patient,” he said. “Imagine the idea of being able to invent and create new things in a virtual world before putting them in real-world applications.”

Lamar State College Port Arthur student Skylar Porras has won a $40,000 scholarship to Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Fla. Porras has spent his time at LSCPA taking art and computer courses to shore up his technical skills, better enabling him to design and create once he reaches Ringling College. Perhaps more interesting, though, was his insistence on taking anatomy and physiology classes while at LSCPA. “I guess my road map to a degree here was a little diﬀerent than other students,” he said. “I felt I needed a better understanding of anatomy in order to be able to create anatomicallycorrect objects in a virtual reality world.” Instructors at LSCPA were so impressed with Porras’ mastery of anatomy and physiology that they asked him if he might consider medicine as his ﬁeld of choice. “I knew if I wanted a scholarship to a great design school that a 4.0 grade point average would be necessary,” he said. “So when I made good grades in anatomy, the teachers didn’t understand why I wouldn’t be interested in making a career

out of medicine.” Porras submitted a portfolio of his artwork along with letters of recommendation. When the news came of his scholarship, he was ecstatic. “is is an opportunity of a lifetime,” he said. “I’ve lived on my own for four years and I worked three jobs to make it. I decided that I didn’t want to ‘work to live.’ I wanted something more for my life and now that chance is standing right in front of me.” While the Ringling College scholarship will go a long way in helping him reach his goals, Porras has established a GoFundMe page to help cover other costs, such as living expenses. He has currently raised $27,550 of his $43,000 goal, though most of the money raised has come from Porras himself. “I’ve dedicated 100 percent of my eﬀorts in school and as much of my own money as I can to making my goals a reality,” he said. “I’m conﬁdent I’ll get there an make it happen.”

Little Cypress-Mauriceville High School students of Babs Foster’s Ready, Set, Teach class have been busy this year getting some hands-on experience in the field they plan to study after graduation. The students started campus/ teacher rotations in the classroom in October. They spend about 30 to 40 minutes, two days a week shadowing teachers in the classroom. So far, they have spent 20.5 hours observing and assisting teachers.

DPS encourages Texans to start hurricane preparation e Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is urging Texans to begin making plans to protect themselves and their families prior to the start of the 2016 hurricane season, which begins June 1 and continues through Nov. 30. “Texans should not wait until a storm is in the Gulf of Mexico to begin planning for a disaster. We are urging residents to get their hurricane plans and kits in order now, before hurricane season starts,” said DPS Director Steven McCraw. “Early preparation can be crucial to protecting lives and property when a storm threatens our state.” “Many Texans have already witnessed the perilous nature of severe weather this year, and the upcoming hurricane season presents the possibility for additional storms and dangerous conditions,” said Texas Governor Greg Abbott. “I urge our residents to prepare for these potential threats as soon as possible, to stay aware of local weather conditions at all times, and to always abide by warnings and evacuation orders from their local oﬃcials.” All Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coastal areas are subject to hurricanes or tropical storms. It is possible for a storm to severely impact our state, even prior to or

without making direct landfall in Texas. Additionally, the rainbands associated with a tropical system have an extremely wide reach, so monitoring changing weather conditions during hurricane season is critically important for all Texans. Here are several measures residents can take now to prepare for potential storms:

• Assemble an emergency kit that includes essential documents, supplies and provisions. • Review hurricane evacuation maps, and select a route for you and your family. • Plan how all family members and pets will evacuate safely. • Consider any special needs for individuals with disabilities or the elderly.

Taste of Southeast Texas

Stuffed Bell Peppers EVY’S CAJUN KITCHEN Evelyn Brandon e Record In the summer months, when there is so much to be done on the farm, I like to cook quick meals, or cook ahead of time and refrigerate my meals. It’s so easy to come home and just pop something into the microwave or the oven and warm it up. Vegetables are so good as a meal in themselves and they warm over easily without losing much flavor or drying out. ey don’t have to be just used as side dishes. In my opinion, a good veggie plate with a couple sliced tomatoes and some cornbread are just as good to make an entire meal. I like bell peppers no matter how they are fixed and I especially like them stuffed. I remember as a kid when mama would make stuffed peppers, I wasn’t having any of it. I would usually just have whatever else we had on the table. But as I got older and “embraced my Cajuness” as my friend Beverly Perry would say, I began to appreciate the taste of bell peppers, which is a good thing, because I usually add them to just about all my dishes. is stuffed pepper recipe is one of the easiest ones I have used and these peppers turn out so good and tasty in just a little

bit of time. I hope you enjoy this recipe, it’s so easy.

Stuffed Bell Peppers 1 can cream of mushroom soup 2 cans cream of celery soup 1 pound shrimp 1 pound crab meat 1 stick butter 1/3 cup green onions, chopped 4 cups cornbread, cooked and crumbled (some people prefer rice) 10 large bell peppers, topped and cleaned 2-3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning Directions Saute’ green onions, add shrimp, crab and seasoning. While continually stirring, cook approximately 6-10 minutes. Add soups, and gradually add

in crumbled cornbread (or rice), mixing thoroughly. Place bell peppers into casserole dish and spoon mixture into bell peppers. Lightly sprinkle seasoning over each pepper. Bake 20-30 minutes until tops are golden brown. *Note - I add salt, pepper and garlic powder to my Cajun seasoning mixture. I also sauté a couple teaspoons minced garlic in with the onion, shrimp and crab. To mix it up a bit, you can add some crushed French’s fried onions and parmesan cheese to the top of the bell peppers before you bake them. is gives it lagniappe. Bon appétit!!

OFD hosts Sabine Neches Chief meeting at Lamar State-Orange e City of Orange Fire Department hosted the 800th monthly meeting of the Sabine Neches Chiefs Association, which was held May 4 at the Brown Estate of Lamar State College – Orange. ere was an estimated 100 guests in attendance. e Sabine Neches Chiefs Association is a mutual aid organization of municipal fire and police agencies, industrial fire and security agencies, and state and federal emergency response groups from Jefferson, Orange, and Hardin counties that have worked together for the safety of our region since its inception in 1949. e Orange Fire Department was a charter member of this

group when it was formed. After a brief business meeting, a program was presented by Meteorologist Roger Erickson with the National Weather Service – Lake Charles concerning information about the upcoming hurricane season. Erickson shared that critical months along the Gulf Coast include August and September, and he announced a slightly busier hurricane season. Factors include, a transition from El Nino (a warm and wet season) to La Nina (a cool and dry season), and warmer waters in the Atlantic Ocean. Erickson also mentioned a prediction of ten to twelve named storms with three to ﬁve with a possibility of a category three or stronger.

Chief David Frenzel opened the meeting by welcoming all in attendance to the City of Orange. “In my opinion, the Sabine Neches Chiefs Association is the most important and inﬂuential organization that the City of Orange participates in, assuring the safety of the citizens we serve through the extensive mutual aid contacts of area wide industry, ﬁre service and law enforcement.” Chief Frenzel recently celebrated 47 years with the City of Orange Fire Department.

6B • The Record • Week of Wednesday, May 11, 2016 PUBLIC NOTICE FEMA-4266-DR-TX The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice to the public of its intent to provide assistance to applicants through the Individual and Households Program for residential structures damaged by severe storms and flooding beginning on March 7, 2016. This notice applies to the Individual Assistance (IA) program implemented under the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 5121-5206. Under a major disaster declaration (FEMA-4266-DR-TX) signed by the President on March 19, 2016; Amendment No. 1, effective March 25, 2016; Amendment No. 2, signed on April 1, 2016, and Amendment No. 3, effective April 4, 2016, the following counties have been designated adversely affected by the disaster and eligible for IA: Erath, Gregg, Harrison, Henderson, Hood, Jasper, Limestone, Marion, Newton, Orange, Parker, Shelby, and Tyler. Additional counties may be designated by FEMA at a later date. FEMA intends to provide IA program funding for disaster-related emergency housing. This action may adversely affect a floodplain/wetland, or may result in continuing vulnerability to floods. Funded activities may include temporary staging of manufactured housing units and placement/installation of manufactured housing units on private residence and/or commercial park sites. A manufactured home is defined in 44 CFR Part 59.1 as “a structure, transportable in one or more sections, which is built on a permanent chassis and is designed for use with or without a permanent foundation when attached to required utilities”. This will be the only public notice concerning these actions. This public notice concerns activities that may affect historic properties, activities that are located in or affect wetland areas or the 100-year floodplain, and critical actions within the 500-year floodplain. Such activities may adversely affect the historic property, floodplain or wetland, or may result in continuing vulnerability to flood damage. Presidential Executive Orders 11988 and 11990 require that all federal actions in or affecting the floodplain or wetlands be reviewed for opportunities to relocate, and evaluated for social, economic, historical, environmental, legal and safety considerations. Where there is no opportunity to relocate, FEMA is required to undertake a detailed review to determine what measures can be taken to minimize future damages. The public is invited to participate in the process of identifying alternatives and analyzing their impacts. FEMA will not be providing assistance for actions in the Coastal High Hazard Areas (V-Zone), floodways, or within coastal areas protected by the Coastal Barrier Resource Act. For routine activities, this will be the only public notice provided. Other activities are required to undergo more detailed review, including study of alternate locations. Subsequent public notices regarding such projects will be published if necessary, as more specific information becomes available. The National Historic Preservation Act requires federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. Those actions or activities affecting buildings, structures, districts or objects fifty (50) years or older or that affect archeological sites or undisturbed ground will require further review to determine if the property is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (Register). If the property is determined to be eligible for the Register, and FEMA’s undertaking will adversely affect it, FEMA will provide additional public notices. For historic properties not adversely affected by FEMA’s undertaking, this will be the only public notice. As noted, this may be the only public notice regarding the above-described actions under the IA program. Interested persons may obtain information about these actions or a specific project by writing to Kevin Jaynes, Regional Environmental Officer, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region VI, 800 North Loop 288, Denton, TX 76209. Comments should be sent in writing within three (3) days of the date of this notice.

Gulf Shrimp Season Closing May 15 AUSTIN — The Gulf of Mexico commercial shrimp season for both Texas and federal waters will close 30 minutes after sunset Sunday, May 15, until a still-to-be determined time in July. The closing date is based on samples collected by the Coastal Fisheries Division of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) using trawl, bag seine and other information gathered from the shrimping industry. Data collected regarding TPWD bag seine catch rates of brown shrimp, mean lengths of shrimp in April, percent of samples containing shrimp, and periods of maximum nocturnal ebb tidal flow indicate a May 15 closing date is appro-

priate. Typically, once the shrimp reach about 3-1/2 inches long, they begin their migration to the gulf. “The average size and abundance of brown shrimp collected in our sampling gear is greater than the 20 year average this year so setting the closure date for May 15th is appropriate,” says TPWD’s Coastal Fisheries Science and Policy Branch Chief Mark Lingo. “The closure is designed to allow escapement of shrimp out to the gulf where they can grow to a larger, more valuable size before they are vulnerable to harvest,” said Robin Riechers, TPWD Coastal Fisheries Division Director. “The goal is to provide shrimp of a size that are more valuable for the

shrimping industry while providing proper management and protection for the shrimp.” The Texas closure applies to gulf waters from the coast out to nine nautical miles. The National Marine Fisheries Service has announced federal waters out to 200 nautical miles also will be closed to shrimping to conform to the Texas closure. While the statutory opening date for the gulf season is July 15, TPWD’s Coastal Fisheries Division will be sampling shrimp populations to determine the optimum opening date. The date of the re-opening of gulf waters will be based on data collected in June, but the closure may not be longer than 60 days.

Next Steps Basics at TPWD Turkey Hunting 101 Workshop May 14 GRAND PRAIRIE – Discover the allure of spring turkey hunting and learn from the experts at Texas Parks and Wild-

U.S. President Barack Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe arrive for a joint news conference in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington, U.S., April 28, 2015. REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque

Faith leaders and scientists have formed a coalition to urge Barack Obama to undertake “meaningful” steps to minimize the threat of “nuclear catastrophe” ahead of the President’s visit to Hiroshima, Japan on May 27. The White House announced Tuesday that Obama and Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will visit the site of the 1945 atomic bomb attack later this month “to highlight (Obama’s) continued commitment to pursuing the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.” The visit will follow the Group of Seven economic summit in Japan. Christian Today notes that the coalition of faith leaders and scientists made the call through a letter sent to the American leader on May 4: “Nuclear weapons remain a real and urgent threat to humanity and our planet. If there is even a limited nuclear exchange, millions - if not billions - of people could perish; large swaths of the planet could be contaminated; and the global economy could collapse,” the letter read. The document was released by Bishop Oscar Cantú, chairman of the U.S. Bishops’ committee on International Justice and Peace; Ken Kimmell, president of the Union of Concerned Scientists; Leith Anderson, president of the National Association of Evangelicals; and Gabriel Salguero, president of the National Latino Evangelical Coalition. Like Us on Facebook The scientists and faith leaders asked Obama “to take meaningful, practical nuclear risk-reduction steps” during the G7 summit.

“Heightened tensions between the United States and Russia, and the growing risk of nuclear use worldwide, are all the more reason for the president to take these meaningful steps to strengthen national and international security,” the letter read. KSDK News notes that reducing nuclear weapons has been a key goal of Obama’s presidency and is one of the reasons he was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. Last month, the president publicly rebuked presumed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump for suggesting that Japan and South Korea should consider developing nuclear weapons. The White House has said that while the president will visit Hiroshima, there will be no apology for the bombing on August 6, 1945 that killed 140,000 people. Along with a second bombing on Nagasaki, it is credited with ending World War Two. On Tuesday, the president’s communications adviser, Ben Rhodes, said on his Twitter page that the US would be “eternally proud of our civilian leaders and the men and women of our armed forces who served in World War II”. He said that Obama would “not revisit the decision to use the atomic bomb at the end of World War II. Instead, he will offer a forward-looking vision focused on our shared future”. He said the visit would “offer an opportunity to honour the memory of all innocents who were lost during the war.” Mr. Rhodes added: “The President and his team will make this visit knowing that the open recognition of history is essential to understanding our shared past, the forces that shape the world we live in today, and the future that we seek for our children and grandchildren.”

There will be a car show from 9 am-3 pm, at the Maple Crest Baptist Church, 1005 North St., Vidor, June 18. Lunch will be served at 12:30 in the gym. Entry fees will be $15.

No Yolking Around: It’s National Egg Month Feeling a little fried? Scrambling for something to cook today? This month, we’re celebrating an eggcellent source of protein that is sure to please both your family and their taste buds. Whether you like them brown, white or even green, eggs are a versatile part of a balanced diet. At about 19 cents apiece and 70 calories (link to National Egg Board thing), eggs are also a fun way to mix things up in the kitchen. You can poach, fry, scramble or bake with them. You can spice things up and make themdeviled or halve them to brighten a salad. There are plenty of eggs to go around. In 2012, over 100 million sets of a dozen eggs were produced in Texas. That’s a lot of breakfast sandwiches! Think you don’t eat a lot of eggs? According to the American Egg Board, the average person will eat over 266 eggs per year in 2016. No wonder there’s an entire month dedicated to eggs! Need a little help celebrating? Here’s a collection of our favorite recipes involving eggs: http://bit.ly/23CU5yV. And, if you’re like me, you’ll enjoy these great tips on how to easily peel hard-boiled eggs from the American Egg Board. Master easy-peel hard-boiled eggs According to a recent survey conducted by the American Egg Board, difficulty peeling is a top barrier to consumers making more hard-boiled eggs. Fortunately, a new way to hard-boil makes eggs not only easier to peel, but cuts the classic hard-boiling cook time by nearly one-third. Instead of waiting for an entire pot filled with water and eggs to boil, try this new method out:

1. HEAT ½- to 1-inch of water in a large saucepan to boiling over high heat. Carefully place steamer insert into pan over boiling water OR proceed to Step 2 if not using a steamer insert. 2. Carefully ADD eggs using a large spoon or tongs. COVER pan. Continue cooking 12 minutes for large eggs (13 minutes for extra large eggs). 3. DRAIN immediately and serve warm. OR, cool completely under cold running water or in a bowl of ice water, then REFRIGERATE. Making hard-boiled eggs fast and easy-to-peel is good news for the millions who search for “boiled eggs,” one of the most popular search terms related to “eggs” in Google. It’s also good news for people who love to make deviled eggs, as the easy-peel method helps keep egg whites whole and yolks a creamy golden yellow. Inspired? Watch this video to see how easy deviled eggs can be to make. A printable sheet with these tips can be found here: http://bitly. com/EasyBoilEggs. Take your hard-boiled eggs to the next level Making a dozen hard-boiled eggs on Sunday ensures you have a nutritious, grab-and-go snack whenever you need it. Try out these ideas to keep your hard-boiled egg snacks fresh and fun all week long: • Go fancy with your salt and pepper. Try truffle salt or spicy chipotle salt for a little heat. • Season hard-boiled eggs with salt-free lemon and pepper seasoning mix or low-salt herb mix. • Make it spicy with a dab of Sriracha or your favorite hot sauce.

• Dip your eggs in honey mustard or ranch dressing and add chopped veggies to top it off. Place it on a pretzel stick or breadstick for a grab-and-go snack. • Top your lunch salad with hard-boiled eggs. • Add it to a bento box filled with hummus, olives and vegetables for a delicious afternoon snack. Enjoy!

New Native Pollinator Management Guidelines Available for Texas Landowners Working to Achieve Wildlife Tax Valuation AUSTIN – Protecting native insect pollinators on private property now comes with new benefits for landowners. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s Nongame and Rare Species Program developed new guidelines for landowners to develop wildlife management plans for their properties. If a landowner’s property is currently evaluated under an Agricultural Tax Valuation, they may qualify for an Agricultural Tax Appraisal based on Wildlife Management Use if they follow the new guidelines to protect and support native pollinators. Because more than 95 percent of Texas lands are privately owned, effective native insect pollinator conservation requires private landowner involvement. Landowners can play a significant role in conserving and maintaining pollinator populations by applying management practices that benefit these species, which support the healthy growth of several agricultural crops for free. The new guidelines are published in Management Recommendations for Native Insect Pollinators in Texas, which can be downloaded at http://bit.ly/TXNativePollinators. The guidelines outline a suite of different practices that benefit these species, from prescribed burning, native plant re-seeding and installation of native pollinator plots to creating nest sites. The various practices in the guidelines could be applied to small backyards and large ranches alike. The guidelines address a growing problem: Native insects that are important to pollinating wildflowers and agricultural crops, including some bumble bee species and the monarch butterfly,

have experienced dramatic population declines and are in need of conservation action. In addition, significant challenges to managed European honeybee health has sparked interest in native insects as alternative pollinators for agricultural production. Pollination is one of the most vital processes in sustaining natural ecosystems and agricultural production. The majority of flowering plants that comprise Texas’ diverse ecosystems rely upon insects to transport pollen among flowers, ensuring the production of viable seed. Viable seed is critical for the perpetuation of plant species across the landscape. The annual value of insectpollinated crops to the U.S. economy is estimated at over $15 billion. Landowners who apply these practices to their lands will be supporting populations of native pollinators that aid in maintaining healthy plant communities on their properties, as well as those lands that surround them, thereby benefitting a range of other wildlife. In addition, landowners will be conserving and perpetuating native pollinators that can pollinate surrounding agricultural producers, potentially reducing the need for leased honeybee hives to pollinate some crops. Although the non-native European honeybee tends to garner the most public attention, there are actually several hundred bee species that are native to Texas. These include bumble bees, carpenter bees, mason bees, leafcutter bees, long-horned bees and many others. These native bee species were here long before the honeybee and are critical to the state’s diverse native plant communities and agricultural production.

Of all the insects that visit flowers in Texas, including beetles, butterflies, moths and wasps, bees tend to be the most effective pollinators. Two traits make bees preeminent pollinators: First, they purposefully collect pollen to feed their offspring, transferring pollen from flower to flower as they forage. During a single day, a female bee may visit several hundred flowers, depositing pollen along the way. Second, bees tend to be specific about the flowers they visit. During a foraging trip, a female bee may only visit the flowers of a particular plant species. The benefit of such foraging preferences is that the plants’ pollen is not deposited on the flowers of a different plant species and wasted. Native bee pollination is critical to the maintenance of Texas’ diverse ecosystems. Many of the berries, nuts and seeds consumed by birds, mammals and other insects are the result of bee pollination of native woody and herbaceous plants. Several crops, including blueberries, grapes, olives, peanuts, pumpkins, squash, strawberries and tomatoes are more effectively pollinated by native bees than the non-native honeybee. The added benefit to farmers from native bees is that their services are essentially free if adequate natural habitat is maintained around farm fields to support healthy populations of these pollinators. The pollination service provided to U.S. agriculture by native bees has been estimated in excess of $3 billion annually. For additional information, please contact Michael Warriner, Nongame and Rare Species Program Leader, at michael.warriner@tpwd.texas.gov or 512.983.26350.

Angler Access to Texas Rivers Continues to Improve AUSTIN – Angler access to Texas rivers continues to improve through a public-private partnership between cooperating landowners and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD). Through leases with Texas landowners, angler access has now been expanded along reaches of the Brazos, Colorado, Guadalupe, Llano, Neches, San Marcos and South Llano rivers. Three more leases are set to begin on the Colorado, Nueces and Sabine rivers this summer. These angler access improvements are funded primarily through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program. This federal grant program offers funding to state and tribal governments to encourage public recreation on privately held land. These leased access areas, in most cases, are quite different from riverside parks. They tend to have few, if any, staff on hand. Amenities such as restrooms and running water may or may not be available. Phone reception could be spotty. Some sites require advance reservations to avoid overcrowding, or to supply visitors with the code that opens a gate. Don’t expect a groomed landscape. In fact, TPWD’s river access team encourages landowners to leave banks in a fairly natural state.

”These leases are intended to offer a serene, wilderness experience and a high-quality fishing opportunity on Texas’ scenic, wild and storied rivers,” said Timothy Birdsong, Habitat Conservation Chief for TPWD’s Inland Fisheries Division. By law, all navigable streams are public waterways, open to citizens who want to swim, wade, boat and (with the appropriate license) fish. In practice, much of that water is inaccessible to the general public because the vast majority of adjacent land is privately owned. Leased access is one of the tools TPWD is using to improve fishing access on our state’s rivers, according to Birdsong. It’s a win/win scenario, providing income for rural landowners and opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts who aren’t lucky enough to possess their own spreads. The typical lease agreement allows fishing from the bank and launching of kayaks and canoes. Other activities, such as camping, are allowed at some sites but not all. Although the program pays owners for public use, it’s still private land. Visitors are, in a sense, guests, and hosts are allowed to make some rules. If you’d like to explore these leases and plan your visit, details are available on the TPWD website at tpwd.texas.gov/fishboat/fish/ recreational/rivers/.
