Orange OKs annexing International Paper David Ball

For The Record

The boundaries of the city of Orange grew a little larger after the regular meeting of the Orange City Council on the evening of May 26. The council approved a resolution declaring the intent of the city to annex property owned by International Paper Company on Highway 87 North in Little Cypress. There will be two public hearings on the annexation to follow at fu-

ture council meetings. Dr. Shawn Oubre, city manager, reported the annexation process started with discussions between the city and the company over Industrial District Contracts. The substance of the agreement called for the provision of city police and fire to the mill. Councilman Dr. Wayne Guidry asked Oubre if the annexation would be in the best interest of International Paper. Oubre said it would result in an increase in payment for the city. Previously, the company paid with an annual flat payment rather than it be tied to their ad valorem property tax

rates or by an assessment of the mill. Guidry then asked if there would be an additional tax burden on International Paper. Oubre said the city’s current payments was at an inflationary value. Guidry also asked if the an-

nexation would be negative for the school district. Oubre said it would not. In other council business, a motion was authorized for public service organizations for 2015 Community Development Block Grant Program funding:

Southeast Texas Hospice: $6,670 Funds will be used to provide care to terminally illl indigent persons living within the city limits of Orange. These funds provide physicians, nurses, social workers, medical supplies and durable medical equip-

ment in the home of financially needy dying persons, including up to one year of bereavement program follow-up. Care is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. GOALS- Literacy Program:

Athlete on wheels ready to roll David Ball

For The Record

William Hendrickson of Pinehurst likes to get out of the house and move around. A typical day for him includes taking care of his 6 year old son, doing chores and running around town. What’s impressive is Hendrickson is in a wheelchair but he doesn’t let that slow him down. “It feels like a cage to me (staying home). I see so many who are disabled veterans stay at home when they need to move around,” he said. Hendrickson is on the go so much that he also competes in the National Veterans Wheelchair Games. In fact, this will be his tenth year to attend. He’s so dedicated to the games that he tattoos on his arm each year he attends. Tis year’s competition will be from June 21-26 at the Dallas Convention Center. It’s free for the public to attend. There will be over 600 athletes competing including paralympians. Hendrickson said athletes will come from all over the United States from every branch of the military. There will even be a vet from Britain. Co-Presented by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Paralyzed Veterans of America, the National Veterans Wheelchair Games is a rehabilitation and wheelchair sports program empowering veterans with spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, amputations and other neurological injuries to live more active and healthy lives through wheelchair sports and recreation, according to their website. Some of the events Hendrickson will be involved in

Cowboy riding long in the saddle David Ball

For The Record

J.B. Arrington said others sometimes ask him to write his life story. His wife, Mary, jokes who would want to read one page with one paragraph. Joking aside, Arrington has lived an interesting and varied life in his 90 years on the earth. Consequently, a birthday party was held in his honor on May 16 at the Old First Baptist Church in Orange to celebrate being 90 years young. Arrington took some time to look back on his first 90 years.

Early years in Orangefield Arrington joked that Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin while he was born in a cotton shack in Orangefield and it took him 70 years to get into his own log cabin. “However, no one ever accused us of being born in a manger,” he joked. Arrington grew up during the Great Depression while

J.B. Arrington turned 90 this week. He grew up in Orangefield and has worked as a sailor, a cowboy, a teacher, a restaurant owner, and many other trades over the years. He’s also been actively involved in the community. RECORD PHOTO: David Ball

Orangefield was still booming. “There were so many stores, a cafe, a hotel, a machine shop, a barber shop, a cobbler shop, and a drug store and a movie theater. The first one I saw was in 1928 and it was a silent. My grandpa would ride to Orange in a buggy. When I saw this old timer on the screen riding in a buggy, I said, ‘Hey grandpa! Hey grandpa!’” he said. “We also had a filling station and a beer joint with a dance floor in the back.” Arrington still recalls Jack Turner, who worked for Lutcher Stark, who said a team of mules and a wagon sank in quicksand where the Cow Bayou Bridge now stands. Dust storms would also sometimes blow through town in the 1930s, forcing residents to shut their windows and leaving a one-eighth inch thick coat of dust in its wake. Orange mushroomed during the War years from a sleepy town of 7,000 to 70,000. All of the stores in the city were located on Fifth Street. Arrington attended McLewis School during his formative J.B.

J.B. Arrington years. He would also be the last graduating class from Orange High School. There were three teachers there. One would teach from first-grade to third-grade; a second teacher would instruct students from the fourthgrade to the fifth-grade and the principal would teach from the seventh-grade to the eighth-grade. His family lived in the Tulane community where a sawmill was located. The area was plains until persimmon trees later took over and then the Asiatic Tallow trees in the 1950s. “I remember you could see from the Sabine Lake to Mauriceville,” he said. “We raised everything we needed to eat at my grandfather’s.” In addition to growing food, his grandfather also raised tobacco. They would pick the tobacco worms off first and step on them. Then, they would jack up the house which was on piers and place the dried leaves under the house on one by twelve boards. They would paint honey on the leaves and lower the house down and press the leaves. Arrington’s grandfather was also a master in woodworking. As he got older, Arrington went to Galveston for work where he built runways. He came back home to Orange to work in the shipyard. He told of one humorous incident where he tried to get a job for his buddy there, but being 15, he was too young to work there. Arrington was 16 and old enough to work there. Arrington and his friend were each being interviewed individually by two company men. The men just switched who they were interviewing so his buddy could get a job at the shipyard.

World War II and Post-War Years Arrington later went into the Navy. He attended a communication school in Corpus Christi. Actor Tyrone Power, who was serving in the Marine Corps, also attended the school for refresher training. Arrington also had breakfast with actress Betty Grable though she was in a large room with other service members. Arrington was then assigned to teach communications to Naval and Marine cadets in Corpus Christi. The base could also boast of having the national baseball and swimming teams there. In fact, one of his friends went on to play Major League Baseball. “All during my teaching career I was a pusher. I’ve kept them them after school and they exceeded the minimum requirements,” he said. He was transferred to Mayport, Fla. on a yard salvage ship, picking up downed planes. He was then stationed on crash boats and PT boats along the coast that performed submarine patrols and air/sea rescues. He went back to Mayport and was stationed on the USS Inch, a destroyer-escort that was built in Orange. The Inch also captured a German submarine. Arrington then sailed through the Panama Canal to a school at Pearl Harbor for “very secret communications stuff.” From there, he flew to Okinawa where a typhoon washed 1,000 ships ashore. He was last on the tankers Camel and the Arethusa in the Philippines. He said the Arethusa was so slow, they left the Philippines on March 3 and they didn’t arrive in San Francisco until April 4. It was in the Philippines that Arrington said he saw one of the most beautiful sights he ever saw. It was a Filipino native boat with red sails sailing while the sun was going down. “I wished I had a camera then,” Arrington said. Arrington was discharged from the Navy just outside of Galveston. One episode that happened on the way home was an Afri-

can-American shipmate who served with Arrington was to ride the bus home with him. The driver said the AfricanAmerican sailor would have to sit in the back of the bus. Arrington told the driver his shipmate would not sit in the back of the bus and they would drive the bus themselves before that would happen. The driver got the message and started driving. Arrington went to New Mexico for work. He was robbed in Hobbs and he went seven days without food when he reached Santa Fe. He only had $2.35, but that was enough for a $2 room and he spent the $.35 on pancakes. He wired for money in Santa Fe and came home to Orange. He started work at DuPont and married his wife, Mary, the matriarch of the Arrington family. The couple had to walk everywhere because they had no car and they rented a room. “I worked there for eight or nine months. I felt like I was fenced in. I didn’t like it,” he said. “The blessing in my life has been my wife.” Mary became pregnant at that time. They moved to Houston and he worked at the Houston Transit Company so they could have some transportation. The rented two cots, some rudimentary furniture consisting of a table and a chair and an ice box. Arrington only had one shirt which Mary would wash and iron each night.

His education and the barbecue business Arrington started the University of Houston originally as an engineering major. “I thought I could only major in engineering with my background until they established an agricultural department,” he said. Arrington worked nights at the Port City Stock Yards for $.25 an hour and he attended school during the day. He bought a truck and started trading livestock. Mary was working at Bethlehem Steel and also attending school part-time. She would deliver the livestock when he was away. The couple had two children then. Arrington recalled his interest in teaching when he taught cadets at the aviation school in the Navy. He decided to obtain his Master’s degree in Huntsville to teach. He worked and attended school at the same time. The stockyard would ship cattle to places such as Cuba, Venezuela and Argentina. Once, the longshoremen’s union said the cowboys from the stockyard couldn’t load the ships any longer until some bulls got loose and cornered the longshoremen. They then said, “Send those cowboys back!” Arrington taught for three years at Navarro Junior College in Corsicana and parttime as a counselor. He also did a lot of fishing in hunting in East Texas and kept his deep freeze well stocked with rabbits and fish. He said he had difficulty finding a teaching job in the 1950s and they had another child on the way. Arrington applied four places One of the places was Stark High School in Orange and a chance to return home where he worked from 1959 to 1974. He also worked on his doctorate at McNeese State University but he didn’t finish. “I figure from 1931-1974 I

went to school,” he said. During these years, Arrington was barbecuing. Arrington also tended cattle in West Orange. He had 40 registered Angus cows, one was the son of an international champion bull. He told of one hilarious time his handsome bull wouldn’t mate with some ugly cows, so Arrington and a friend decided to powder the cows with make-up and put red lipstick on them so the bull would find them attractive. It worked. A horse once threw Arrington and he broke his leg. The principal told him he needed him back at work by Monday or his pay would be cut. Being the tough cowboy he is and with a pregnant wife and three kids at home, Arrington was back at work even though his leg was broken. “I began barbecuing in Houston in the late 1940s and here from some civic organizations,” Arrington said. He said the school job became insecure at this time and a lot with an old house became available on Highway 90. He purchased the house where he and the family lived. Thus, J.B.’s Barbeque Restaurant was born. He also bought a pit when he had enough money and he studied the barbeque business for five years. Before he could purchase the business, however, he went through so many loan applications that friends nicknamed him “Sheets.” “Sam Lucia and Miss Katie who had a Western store told me Mr. Ruggio at the Brown Bank would help. He asked me how much did I need,” he said. Arrington added people like the Starks and Browns and others did a lot for Orange, particularly for the FFA chapter at Stark High School. Some volunteers helped build the barbeque business and the building was eventually added on including a smokehouse. In addition to starting a business, Arrington has always been involved in the community. He helped form the Stock and Stolen Club which was a junior college agricultural club. Some joked with him it should had been named the Stolen Stock Club. He also helped form the Young Farmer and Adult Farmers and a radio program that ran every Saturday featuring his students. Arrington organized the fair grounds in Mauriceville too. Some of the topics taught in his ag classes included butchering, small engine repair, welding and machine shop. Some of his students went into those fields as careers. One attended Texas A&M University to study architecture and he went on to Harvard to further his studies. He was also in the JCs who organized a rodeo on Highway 105, a member of the Masonic Lodge and a Shriner. Arrington was also a member of the Orange County Drainage District board of directors and of the Orange County Soil Conservation District board of directors. “I’ve always loved people and I loved teaching,” he said. Arrington said he gives his wife all of the credit for his success in life. He asked what other girl would marry someone who didn’t have a job, or a car, or a house at the time and make everything work out. “She used every avenue there was,” Arrington said.

Guidry asked if the money is going where it’s supposed to go. For instance, he wanted to know how many from Orange go to Stable Spirit in Rose City. He was informed four from Orange go to Stable Spirit. The council approved a resolution nominating Cloeren Incorporated as an Enterprise Project under the Texas Enterprise Zone Program. Cloeren started in Orange in 1981 in the manufacture, fabrication, and distribution of customized extrusion feed blocks, single and multi-manifold dies, and process-related accessories supplied to the global extrusion market. Cloeren anticipates a capital investment of more than $6 million in the next five years for facility upgrades and the purchase of new equipment. In addition, Cloeren is committed to the retention of 216 jobs with wages greater than 120 percent of the 2014 Orange County Average Weekly Wage of $1,101. Lastly, Guidry nominated Mary McKenna as Mayor Pro Tem. McKenna nominated Larry Spears Jr. to be appointed to the Orange Economic Development Corporation until Sept. 30, 2016.

Orange OK’s annexation include the obstacle course, the shot put, the javelin, Power Soccer, a poker run that’s similar to a slalom course and more. “I was in rehab 10 years ago in San Diego and (rehabilitation specialist) Kell Cabcheski introduced me to the games. She thought it was something I would enjoy,” he said. “I’m proud to represent Orange and Pinehurst. Not very many attend. I want to put out the good word to get veterans exposed to other sports even though they’re in a chair.” Hendrickson served in the U.S. Army from 1984-1986. He was in the 19th Delta and served as a cavalry scout in Fort Knox, Ky. He joked he never got to leave and the other soldiers called him Radar O’Reilly from MASH because of his ability to get stuff. He was hurt in a training incident and was discharged. He could still walk until 11 years ago when he was injured in a motorcycle accident. “I had a crushed neck, a

I want to encourage the disabled to be out and be active.” He moved to Pinehurst a year and a half ago from San Diego to be closer to his brother in Mauriceville and his wife’s family in Lake Charles. “I have great neighbors and I love my community. It’s a great place to live,” Hendrickson said. The following is some background information about the National Veterans Wheelchair Games website: Each summer, Veterans from across the United States, including a team from Great Britain, travel to a new community hosting the NVWG. During the week, Veterans compete in 18 wheelchair sports events while providing encouragement and mentoring for new Veterans. Veterans at the Games truly educate newly disabled Veterans on what is possible and those witnessing the events realize that limitations are only state of mind.

AND THE RAINS CAME Here in Southeast Texas we dodged the worst of the downfall, high winds and flooding. The hill country, San Marcos, the Austin area and Houston flooded. Over 1,000 houses have been destroyed in San Marcos alone. Many areas in Texas got a year’s supply of rain in one week. Thirtyseven counties have been declared disaster areas. Hopefully the storms are done. Ten years ago, at this time, we were living through one of our worse droughts. This year, it’s been one of our wettest seasons. It sure has played havoc with backyard gardening; however, some Master Gardeners are producing vegetables. Produce and other items can be found at the Farmer’s Market every Saturday morning in Big Lot parking lot.*****We need the rain to stay away for the big Shootout on the Sabine Boat Races, coming up this weekend. Live entertainment featuring local American Idol star Kree Harrison. On May 17, her birthday, the 25 year old got a record deal. She signed with Plaid Flag Music, out of Nashville. She will appear Saturday, May 30 at the River Front Pavilion. Kree has been working on new music and true to her roots, its country. She looks forward to playing some of her new stuff for the first time in Orange this weekend, along with some cover songs. Kree has family living in the area including her grandmother Beverly Mire and grandfather Wilson Roberts, a longtime law enforcement officer. Make plans for the big weekend. *****I’ve got to move on, I’d be proud if you came along. I promise it won’t do you no harm. THE ROOTS OF DISASTER In the most disastrous foreign policy mistake in my lifetime, 4,500 young Americans died, 38,000 wounded and $2 trillion was wasted to destroy weapons of mass destruction that our leaders knew didn’t exist. Mike Morell, CIA Assistant Director, just released a must-read book, “The Great War of Our Time.” Morell explains that Bush/Cheney didn’t use the intelligence given them, rather they used the made up story of WMD’s and Saddam being involved with Al Qaeda. The intelligence agencies didn‘t push Bush to invade and occupy Iraq. It was VP Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Scooter Lieby who drove the decision and pressed the agencies to come up with evidence to support it. When they didn‘t, because there wasn‘t any, they cooked the books and made up bogus claims. They sold it to Bush, who ignored the advice of his dad, George H. Bush, and Jim Baker, who both said, “You break it, you own it, it can never be put back.“ Colin Powell, the Legislature and the American people. There is no doubt in my mind that Cheney is the most evil person to ever hold high office in my lifetime. He makes the other ‘Dick’ Nixon look like a choir boy. When Cheney appointed himself VP, he was head of Halliburton. He gave up the CEO position and put his Halliburton stock in a blind trust. His net worth when he became VP was $36 million. When they took the blinders off the trust, his worth today is estimated at a billion dollars or more. Iraq cost the American people a trillion dollars to restore, Halliburton got the biggest chunk. The Bush Administration left no government structure in place. They destroyed the army and all police forces. Disposing of Saddam Hussein ushered in something worse. Iraq and Iran, even though fighting each other every few years, together kept the area stable. Today, Iraq is splintered, a civil war that killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens and gave birth to Islamist terrorist ISIL. Today, FOX News, the radio ‘Talking Heads,’ and those who would like to be president are blaming President Barack Obama for leaving Iraq too early. What his critics skip over is the fact that President Obama pulled our troops out on a schedule negotiated by and signed off on by the Bush Administration. Obama had nothing to do with the previously schedule time table. They conveniently forget to mention that fact. The fact is that too many body bags of our young came home based on a pack of lies, cooked up by some evil people. Today, there are some who want us to return with boots on the ground. Sen. John McClain and Sen. Lindsey Graham are calling for 10,000 troops to begin with. Others are suggesting 50,000 American youth be sent to that hell hole that was created by the George W. Bush Administration. Our would-be leaders, who are unwilling to face up to the truth, are not fit to lead. We can never repeat the mistakes of the past but that is inevitable if the ‘Right Wingers’ have their way. I hope President Obama is strong willed enough to withstand the pressure to send ground troops and watch the body bags return. For the first time in many years, we are not at war with our American troops on the ground being killed. TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME 10 Years Ago-2005 Stark Art, ‘The Sleeping Dog’ by Gerrit Dou brought a record price of $4.72 million in auction at Christie’s in New York. According to Jack Smith, the record price was far more than Christie’s expected. Competitive bidding came from all over the world and also on the auction floor. Smith said, “We don’t know who bought it, the buyer wished to remain anonymous.” Miriam Stark and daughter-in-law, Nita Hill, purchased several old master paintings in Germany in the late 1920’s for $3,500. The ‘Sleeping Dog’ was in the lot. The small painting was found in the bedroom of the late Nelda Stark and was not believed to be worth much. The picture measured only 6.5 inches by 8.5 inches. The first

appraisal was for only $600 and was raised to $1,200, but before the sale Christie’s put a $2 to $3 million value on it. *****Old Timer’s Memorial Day Picnic was held at the VFW. Music was furnished by Tick Granger and the Cajun Country Classic band. Band members were ‘Tick’ on the steel guitar, Sam Binagia, Nary Huval, Doug Moutain, Don Davis, Budd Williams, Harvey Trahan and Vernon Thibodeaux. Paul Duplantis and his fiddle livened up the celebration. (Editor’s note: Paul is Roy Dunn’s first cousin, now in his 90’s. He is still alive and well but some of the others, including Tick are now gone.) *****Bridge City resident Phillip Balsano unveils his new motorcycle that took him 18 months to build. After ordering the first hollow tube, he actually worked on building the bike about six months. It is state-of-the-art from front to back. The candy orange over a chrome base gives it the customized look. Balsano works at Lanxess. (Editor’s note: I wonder what became of the most unique chopper I ever saw. Where is it today?)*****With only eight Class 3-A teams left in play, the Cardinals, of Coach Billy Bryant, will meet Lufkin-Hudson in the best of three, played at Humble. B.C. defeated Columbus 2-0 and 5-4 to advance. Junior Cardinal, pitcher Kevin Angelle struck out 16 batters and pitched a complete ‘No Hit’ game in the 2-0 shutout. He is 11-1 on the mound and is District 24 MVP in coach’s poll. Hunter Hayes was named offensive MVP by coaches. *****City Attorney H.D. Pate retires at B.C. after 35 years.

Badeaux promised Clotile dat he would be home in time for lunch. Well, lunchtime came and went and no Badeaux, den mid-afternoon, it came and went too, still no Badeaux, suppertime, it done pass wen Badeaux, him, finally show up. Clotile, her, is some mad. “Badeaux, where you been, hanh? You told me dat you gonna be home by lunch. You lie, you. Here it is, plum dark and you jus now getting home.” Badeaux say, “Clotile, don’t get on my case, no, my good friend Comeaux died on da golf course dis morning him.” Clotile say, “Oh, Badeaux, I’m so sorry me, I can understand now. Making funeral arrangements for you friend Comeaux, and all dat, I understand why you late.” Badeaux say, “Funeral arrangement? Wat funeral arrangement? It was like dis, “Hit da ball, drag Comeaux.” “Hit de ball, drag Comeaux.” It took me and Thibodaux all day to finish dat damn golf game.” C’EST TOUT In 1431, on May 30, Joan of Arc, at age 19, was burned at the stake in Rouen, France.

Do you know which catcher holds the all-time homerun record for catchers?

Braus cuts hair in honor of aunt with cancer After seeing an aunt with Alopecia Areata without her wig, a Bridge City Intermediate School student wanted to do something nice to honor her. Maigan Braus decided that she wanted to donate her hair to Beautiful Lengths, a partnership with Pantene and the American Cancer Society because they provide free real hair wigs to women with cancer. Alopecia Areata is a rare auto-immune disorder where a patient’s immune system misidentiﬁes his or her own hair follicles and attacks them causing the hair to fall out. Since Maigan has long and very thick hair that grows fast, she made the decision to help others in need. She wanted to help another child or women with cancer and donating her hair was a way for her to do just that. is is only the second time she has cut her hair and her hair may be used to make more than one wig.

THE RECORD

SPORTS AND OUTDOORS

FISHING...

S.A.L.T. Tournament impressive Captain Dickie Colburn For The Record

It was a soggy Memorial Day weekend in southeast Texas as well as much of the state. If you got caught outside you not only got wet, but got your table cloth blown off the picnic table as well! Through it all, the dedicated members of the Saltwater Anglers League of Texas managed to pull off yet another successful Memorial Day tournament on Sabine Lake.In spite of the relatively brief, but potent storms that danced across the area, the winning anglers weighed in some very impressive catches in virtually every category. In the big three alone it took a redfish over nine pounds, a trout over eight pounds and a flounder over four pounds to earn first place money. Not only was there a winning fish in every eligible category, but those numbers would have been impressive in even the best of weather conditions. And, as if the local weather wasn’t problematic enough, an already fresh bay was steadily taking yet another hit! Once again, the SRA is doing all it can to keep Toledo Bend below pool level and, at least for the short term, that translates to a massive infusion of additional fresh water and decreased salinity levels in Sabine Lake.As of Monday, both generators were running 24/7 and nine gates were cracked open as well.The water was discharging at almost 28,000 CFS and the lake level was still at 172.2 feet. While the impoundment has taken a direct hit from daily storms that continue to park over east Texas, the flooding and all of the rainfall making the news in the Dallas area will eventually have to be accounted for as well.Fishing our way through this is inconvenient, but the greater concern is any flooding below the dam that could result in property damage for folks living near the river. Without a doubt, the biggest surprise for me thus far has been how well the trout and flounder have adapted to all of this fresh water.It has limited my guiding, but at the same time it has provided an opportunity to examine techniques and areas I wouldn’t normally fish.The silver lining is that I have also enjoyed hunting the fish with friends that I seldom get to fish with as well as other desperate guides! In all fairness, especially for recreational anglers that have the option of trailering in order to save both gas and an unpleasant boat ride, the bite on the extreme south end of the lake, has reS.A.L.T.

Cardinals battle to the end

Jeff Fults Sports Junkie For The Record

In a game that had it all the Bridge City Cardinals (19-9) and the Huffman Falcons (234) gave everyone their money’s worth and then some. After losing the past two years to the Falcons the Cardinals felt this was their year by playing a one-game winner take-all. Ace Chase Shugart was on the mound with a lineup that has been hitting the ball extremely well. The Cardinals got everyone’s spirit up when Chase Shugart doubled off of Huffman’s LHP Mathew Bumpas,

Blake Pruett is greeted by teammates Derick Dearing, Ryan Shugart and Bradley Thibodaux following a sacrifice hit that advanced runners on bases. RECORD PHOTO: Mark Dunn

in the first inning and Kyle Bergeron driving in Derick Dearing, the pinch runner for Shugart, giving the Cardinals an early 1-0 lead. Huffman would answer early in the bottom of the second. Two hits by Huffman and a miscue by the Bridge City infield gave the Falcons two unearned runs leading 2-1 going into the third. Shugart would settle in striking out eight, giving up four hits and three BBs in eight innings. Bridge City knotted the game in the 4th when leadoff batter Bergeron was HBP. He then was advanced by Logan News sac bunt and then BRIDGE CITY Page 2B

Bridge City Cardinals From Page 1

Tod McDowell drew a one out walk. Right fielder Corbin Voegeli’s RBI ground ball single between third and SS had Coach Chad Landry waving Bergeron home for the tie with runners on second and third and one out. New struck out leaving Ryan Shugart to hit a deep fly to right field for the third out. Bridge City had their chances, leaving 10 base runners stranded and six in scoring position. Like a chess a game there were many time-outs called at the plate by the Bridge City batters as Bumpas was taking his time from pitch to pitch. There were seven bunts between the two teams, a balk, two intentional walks, time called by coaches numerous times that led to a climatic ending. In the top of the 7th, Chase Shugart, two for three at the plate, drove a long fly ball to the fence for the first out. Jonah Watts also flied out to left with two outs no one. Bergeron singled and Blake Pruett walked. The Huffman pitcher balked, advancing runners to second and third. With two outs, runners in scoring position, left fielder Tod McDowell battled to a full count with multiple foul balls. When strike three was called, being low and outside, the Cardinal coaches and fans let the home plate umpire know exponentially. With fuel still left in the tank, Chase Shugart shutdown the Falcons in bottom of the 7th, three up and three down. Leading off in extra innings Voegeli singled to right field. New sacrificed bunted, moving Voegeli to second. That would be it for Bumpas, striking out seven while giving up five hits . RHP Jake Harrison came in relief for the Falcons and struck out the next two batters. Bottom of the eighth, Huffman’s Jake Harrison singled to centerfield and Bumpas hit a slow rolling infield single. With runners at first and second the batter turned to bunt. Third baseman Bergeron rushed in and short stop Johah Watts ran to cover third. Cody Gaitan bunted back to the pitcher who overthrew to third and allowed the runner to score, giving the Huffman Hawks the 3-2 win having no earned runs. The Bridge City Cardinals year in and year out play stellar ball, this team has been together many years since Little League. Bridge City does not rebuild they reload.

mained reasonably consistent.I have fished that area several times without clients over the past month mainly because launching alone at the Causeway is tough and I am not into cleaning fish in the parking lot. The bite itself, however, is worth fishing with a friend that can help handle the launching chores as both numbers and size of the fish have been good. With any break in the wind at all, most of the folks that prefer to fish south anyway are either opting to run to the jetties or piling up in Lighthouse Cove as a first choice.There is no doubt that it has been more crowded as the playing field has been greatly reduced, but we have also caught some nice trout simply drifting the breaks on the ship channel. Without a doubt, the second most dependable area has been Keith Lake, but it is small and the best spots get crowded in a hurry.Launching is no bargain either and even when you are the first to arrive, boat traffic can be a problem.Unfortunately for me in that I prefer to fish the north end of the lake, the areas that have taken the biggest hit are most of the north end of the lake, the Sabine and Neches rivers and the bayous. I have no doubt that a lot of trout are waiting things out in the deeper water, but locating them is like hunting a needle in a haystack. Thus far, we have caught just enough trout to confirm the fact that they are they are still there.Those are the same fish that enable the bite on the shallow flats on the north end of the lake to rebound so quickly following freezes. We have done far more casting than catching lately, but we have managed to stumble up on a few things, both lures and techniques, that have enabled

West Orange-Stark High School’s David Bundage signed a track scholarship with Cowley College in Kansas.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady received a four-game suspension as part of the ‘deflategate’ scandal that took place this past NFL season.

Tom Brady could have deflated ‘deflate-gate’ KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

If New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had followed the lead of his team owner Robert Kraft and accepted the punishm e n t handed down by the National Football League for getting caught using illegally-deflated footballs in the American Football Conference’s championship game earlier this year, the matter would already be forgotten. Kraft, as you might remember, wanted Deflategate to go away for months since the term was invented, according to an article that appeared last weekend in USA Today Sports. e matter has only intensified in the days since the New England Patriots owner decided not to appeal significant layers of punishment stemming from the deflated footballs—a $1 million fine and the loss of two future draft picks. “e noise is still at full-blast for one, all-too-fitting reason— Tom Brady,” the article states. “With Brady appealing his four-game suspension, and the NFL Players Association angling to force Commissioner Roger Goodell from hearing the case, the Deflategate drama rages on,” the article continues. However Goodell will hear Brady’s appeal of his four-game suspension for his role in the deflated footballs scandal, according to an article that appeared in e Houston Chronicle Saturday. “Goodell will not withdraw from what the commissioner considers his responsibility of hearing the appeal, according to several people with knowledge of the decision. “e union asked Goodell to remove himself from that role because it said he lacked impartiality and that Goodell would be called as a witness. But NFL lawyers have recommended to Goodell that he should not recuse himself,” the Chronicle article said. However, it seems as though Brady could have diffused—if not deflated—this entire stream of consciousness and debate way back at the beginning if he had merely accepted his punishment. But when a quarterback like Brady is making several million dollars per season, a four-game suspension without pay will result in very hefty monetary punishment. “I still shake my head when I recall Brady’s initial press conference on the matter—the one spoofed by Saturday Night Live—when he declared that he knew nothing at all about the intricacies of football preparation,” wrote Jarrett Bell in a recent USA Today Sports article.

“at coming from a marquee quarterback who joined forces with Peyton Manning and Drew Brees in 2006 to lobby the NFL’s competition committee to allow visiting teams to bring their own footballs to game day, rather than having the home team supply all of the footballs. “Yet Brady wanted us to believe that he was clueless about the process? Cell phone records that reveal extensive contact that Brady had with equipment assistant John Jastremski in the immediate days after the AFC title game also illuminated just how poorly Brady performed at that press conference. “e quarterback who knew nothing about football preparation only had at least a halfdozen phone conversations, a slew of text messages and even a meeting in the quarterback room with Jastremski. By the end of the week, though, Brady publicly played dumb about football preparation. “He would have been more convincing with some deeper layers of insight that could have at least provided a plausible explanation for how footballs could become deflated. Bill Belichick provided scientific analysis that concluded cold weather is a factor. “Evidently, as the Wells Report contends, Brady liked his footballs to some sort of specification that Jim “e Deflator”

McNally, a locker room attendant, and Jastremski tried to provide. at’s not to say that Brady instructed them to deflate balls to illegal levels. “So, had Brady been a bit more revealing about his preferences—again, maybe without incriminating himself—a few months ago, this issue might not have become the overblown narrative that it is. “Now, as the end of May approaches, Brady can explain it to Goodell. After all, he’s the one who was suspended and has seen his reputation take a hit. It’s way past time when Brady should convincingly set the record straight,” the article concludes. KWICKIES…Congrats to the West Orange-Stark Mustangs for being the only area high school baseball team still alive in the state playoffs. e Mighty ‘Stangs rebounded from a 2-0 loss Friday to blow out Bellville 14-2 in the nightcap and then win the rubber game and the series Saturday night, 4-1. e Mustangs take on Carthage in the best-of-three Regional semifinals, with the first game set tomorrow (urs.) at Driller Park in Kilgore. e second game is 3 p.m. Saturday at McNeese Cowboy Field in Lake Charles.

Are Smar tphone s t he ‘Elec tronic Enemy of Love’? A couple sits down to a meal together. But they spend their time on their smartphones, barely speaking a word to each other. It's become a common sight wherever mobile devices are common. According to a new survey in China, 60 percent of married respondents complained about intrusion from smartphone use in their relationship. "Mobile electronic devices have become the 'electronic enemy of love,'" the survey concluded. Overuse has become "a major enemy to spousal relations, parental relations and personal health." Nearly two-thirds of respondents reported taking their smartphones to bed, and half continue using them after turning off the lights. Those who did so find it five times harder to go to sleep than those who did not bring the devices to bed. Smartphones are raising legal questions as well. According to The Wall Street Journal, several lawsuits in the U.S. are alleging that companies expect employees to work unpaid and off hours by using their digital devices. One executive explained that the trend started with the pager, used only for emergencies. It expanded to smartphones which supervisors expect employees to check at all times, even after work. For example, T-Mobile was sued by salespeople who alleged that the company required them to work 10-to-15 hours a week off the clock, answering emails and text messages from customers and other employees. The company paid an undisclosed amount to settle the suit. Despite such problems, technology is becoming more pervasive and personal every day. Meet iCub, which The Guardian describes as "a toddler-sized humanoid with a streamlined plastic head from which two huge doe-eyes emerge, complete with seductively drooping eyelids." It is one of the most advanced "humanoids" of its kid, with a sense of touch and hand-eye coordination and 53 degrees of limb movement. It can grasp objects, play catch, and dance to music. The answer is not to ignore all technology, of course. Without the Internet, you wouldn't be reading this Cultural Commentary and our ministry would not exist. Organizations such as Global Media Outreach would not be leading millions of people to Christ every year through online ministries. Digital tools play a vital role in preaching the gospel to all nations, part of God's clear mandate for his church (Matthew 24:14; 28:19-20).
