County revises pay matrix for some exempt employees Tommy Mann Jr. For The Record

Orange County Commissioners are following a federal mandate to make changes to the employee pay matrix for certain exempt status employees to go into effect later this year.

At Tuesday’s meeting of the Orange County Commissioners, the court unanimously approved a change to the pay matrix which is utilized by select exempt status employees.

The change, which will go into effect on Dec. 1, 2016, will impact certain Exempt level 1 (E1) and Exempt level 2 (E2)

employees with Orange County.

“This is a federally mandated change based on a recent update from Carlton the Department of Labor,” said Orange County Judge Brint Carlton.

“It will help make sure employees aren’t being taken advantage of based on whether they are salary or hourly or to keep from paying overtime hours.”

BC man receives probation for criminally negligent homocide Debby Schamber For The Record

Tyler Wayne Hodgkinson, 20, of Bridge City, who was involved in a fatal wreck in March 2015, accepted a plea bargain agreement and sentenced to five years probation and $1,000 fine in the 128th District Court with Judge Courtney Arkeen presiding.

According to Ashley Molfino, special prosecutor in the case, five years was the maximum sentence of probation he could have received. Taken into consideration was Hodgkinson’s age and the fact he did not have any prior criminal history.

The case began when around 4:45 a.m. police were called to State Highway 87 at M.L. King Drive where a collision had occurred. When officers arrived they found 43-year-old Bret Allen Gentzler, dead at the scene in a 2011 Chevrolet Aveo. During the investigation it was determined Hodgkinson, who was driving a 2009 GMC pickup truck and his passenger were underage and intoxicated.

Hodgkinson was arrested and charged with intoxication manslaughter. Bond was set at $50,000 and he was later released from the Orange County Jail.

Orange County District Attorney John Kimbrough requested a special prosecutor to handle the case due to extenuating circumstances. As a result, Molfino, of the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office was assigned to the case.

As part of the agreement, the case was reduced to the State Jail Felony of criminally negligent homicide. Hodgkinson will have to complete the terms of his probation such as report weekly to his probation officer, stay within Orange, Jefferson and Newton Counties, abstain from alcohol and drugs, submit to random urine tests and he cannot go to any bars or where alcohol is served.

In addition, he must have a full time job or be enrolled in a full time college program. Futhermore, he is to do 100 hours community service, participate and complete individual counseling and participate in program such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving where he will speak to peers about the dangers of drinking and driving.

States Department of Labor website, the Department of Labor proposed an update to regulations governing which executive, administrative, and professional employees, also commonly referred to as white

collar workers, are entitled to the Fair Labor Standards Act’s (FLSA) minimum wage and overtime pay protections. The Department of Labor last updated these regulations in 2004, and the current salary

threshold for exemption is $455 per week, or $23,660 per year.

With this proposed rule, the Department of Labor has updated the salary level required for exemption to ensure that

the FLSA’s intended overtime protections are fully implemented, and to simplify the identification of non-exempt employees, thus making the

Orange Depot renovators discover past Tommy Mann Jr.

For The Record

Work is progressing slowly and steadily toward completion of the much anticipated Orange Depot Museum, and some interesting discoveries have been made on features not seen in years about the historic location.

The Friends of the Orange Depot, the official non-profit organization responsible for the effort to turn the historic train depot into a tourist attraction, was able to tour the facility this past Friday morning to see what has been uncovered during the abatement process of the depot.

Work began this spring on preparing the facility for its renovation, which included having an abatement company removing lead paint and other items from the building.

Jack Elliott of JackBuilt, at left, the contractor for the renovation and repair of the Orange Depot Museum, speaks with Juanita Timberlake about some of the features uncovered during the recent cleaning and abatement of the interior of the historic Orange Train Depot. Timberlake worked at the depot from 1946 to 1975.

Jack Elliott of Jackbuilt, which is the general contractor of the project and is located in Orange, provided some insight on some of the features which have been discovered about the Orange Train Depot since the abatement project began.

“We’ve found doorways which have been covered up over the years, and we’ve found window positions which have been changed over time too,” Elliott said of the recent work on the project. “It’s been very interesting uncovering the past of this building.”

The purpose of the project is to convert the train depot, which was built in 1910, into a museum and educational attraction. The facility will pay tribute to railroad transportation, timber, shipbuilding and

Peaceful march planned for Orange Feeling of injustice riding high in the community Debby Schamber For The Record

Renowned essayist, lecturer and poet, Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.”

The feelings of outrage, inequality and frustration with the justice system has been building for a while and it is not one particular incident which has lead the black community to seek a solution but one of many steps to get where they are now. Quanell X, also known as Quanell Ralph Evans, is the leader of the New Black Panthers in Houston and has been in contact with some of the local people. He is assisting in planning a march in Orange which is expected to occur soon although no date has been set yet.

JaCoby Ross, 23, of Orange has taken it upon himself to represent his community and do what he thinks is right. He knows the facts of the case are not always known and could be the key to finding a resolution.

“They feel voiceless, like they don’t matter,” Ross said.

“People just want to be fairly treated.”

out. But, angry words have been exchanged over the conflict with each posts on social media growing more intense.

“Before anything I feel there needs to be an understanding,” Ross said.

Ross feels through his music he has gained respect and encountered a means to get the word out. Ross writes poems and songs and uses the forum to talk about his life experiences.

“Sixty percent of my friends from childhood are in jail, dead or lost on the streets,” Ross said. “It could have easily been me.”

Ross said he experiences

some form of racism every day. Whether it is directed at him or someone he knows, it is always prevalent.

“Right now as we speak, someone is being harassed or judged because of their skin color,” he said. “They might just walk into a convenience store or be walking down the street when they are stopped and asked what they are doing. They might be checked for warrants too.”

Ross says he “does not see color” when it comes to other people.

“I know what I look like. I know I am black.”

Ross also said he also has gold teeth and tattoos but this is on the outside and has nothing to do about who he is as a person.

Most recently, a post on Facebook has caused an uproar in the black community. The posts garnering attention are involving the recent criminal cases of two men convicted of aggravated robbery in the same court room with the same judge having two different outcomes.

Keaton Trace Creel, 24, of Bridge City, has committed two aggravated robberies. In December 2014 Creel went into the store wearing a red ski mask and pulled out a handgun and demanded money. Creel fled on foot to his nearby pickup truck with an estimated $1,000 in stolen

cash. He later returned to the store while investigators were still there to purchase gas.

The clerk identified him and he was arrested.

Again in February 2015 Creel went to the Fuel Depot located in the 1500 block of Texas Avenue wearing a pillow case over his head with two eye holes cut out. When police arrived the clerk informed them the suspect was the same person as who had robbed the store in recent months. In addition, the clerk informed the investigators Creel told him he was using a “real gun” during the second attempt. But, the clerk refused to give him money and Creel left the store. During an interview with police Creel admitted he committed the robbery because he was bi-polar and schizophrenic.

Creel thought a demon inside his head made him commit the crime, according to an affidavit of probable cause.

Bonds totaling $50,000 were set. Creel was later sentenced to three years in prison on one of the charges and will also have to attend a substance abuse felony program.

The other case causing a stir when the cases are compared is that of LaKendrick Jorone Sonnier, 20, of Orange. Sonnier was recently sentenced to 35 years in pris-

Elliott said many other interesting bits of history have been uncovered in the process, including details about the craftmanship of certain features, color schemes and features which were added years after the depot originally opened.

“We discovered the ticket window was added much later, probably 10 to 15 years, to a part of the building, which was originally made as an office area,” Elliott continued.

“We’ve also been finding colors of green and black from paint on certain features.”

He also stated there were large double-doors and large double-windows incorporated as part of the design of the depot, which was confirmed by local resident Juanita Timberlake who worked at the depot from 1946 to 1975.

Timberlake said the large double-windows were both positioned in the middle of the

depot on each side of the building for a reason.

“They allowed air to flow through the building because it didn’t have air-conditioning at that time,” Timberlake said to everyone during the walkthrough tour on Friday morning.

Elliott stated the work on the outside of the building has revealed the color of original brick, which has apparently been painted more than once and covered with other materials.

Elliott said plans are to match the original red brick of the exterior as the project moves forward, and, on the interior, to leave the brick exposed after it has been thoroughly cleaned.

He also commented on the quality work of the remnants of the wood framed windows and come to the conclusion the work was hand-chisled because of the amount of hand detail.

“The roof will need quite a bit of work to be done because

of the amout of damage to the decking,” Elliott added when asked about what shape it was in currently.

Timberlake, who had the experience of working inside the Orange Train Depot for so many years, said many of the changes made to the depot through the years were a result of segregation issues.

When the depot was desegregated, it also happens to be one of the things she remembered easily.

“When it happened, it went pretty smooth,” Timberlake said to those gathered. “There really weren’t any issues and everyone respected each other.”

In late-April, a special groundbreaking ceremony was held on the property to commemorate the milestone of reaching $450,000 in its fundraising efforts and to signal the next phase of the project, which was to begin work on the interior, exterior and painting.

Peacful march to be held in Orange on for an aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon from an incident in April 2015. Sonnier entered a restaurant located in the 2300 block of MacArthur wearing gloves, dark clothing and a mask. Sonnier told the woman behind the register to give him the money, but when she could not he threatened to shoot her with the gun he was brandishing.

She managed to open the register by ringing up an item and during the process he threatened to shoot her again. Once Sonnier had the money he went towards the office where the safe is kept. But, she was able to get between Sonnier and the door of the office and close it. He told her she had made a big mistake and would shoot her. He left the business and ran out into the parking lot. The woman was able to

identify Sonnier to the police since he was familiar with him since he was a former employee.

Sonnier was arrested a short time later during a traffic stop with the money and clothing worn by the suspect still in his possession. In addition, there was a bullet still in the chamber of the gun, according to a probable cause affidavit. Bond was set at $25,000.

Ross feels since both crimes are aggravated robbery the sentencing should have been the same. The sentiment is shared by others as well.

Both men accepted a plea bargain agreement and were sentenced by Judge Dennis Powell, according to information received.

However, Ross added he feels Sonnier should still be accountable for the crime he

Currently, an E1 employee in Orange County starts at $38,022.40 per year. Based on Department of Labor mandated changes, the new annual salary for an E1 would be $47,476 per year. An E2 employee starts at $43,971.20 currently, but once the new change goes into effect in December, it will increase to $48,214.40.

Changes to the pay matrix base salary for an Orange County E1 employee with one to four years of service will change from $41,267.20 to $49,210.20; five to nine years of service will change from $46,196.80 to $50.944.40; and 10-14 years of service will change from $50,294.40 to $52,678.80. The salary of $54,412.80 for an E1 employee with 15 or more years of service in the county will not change.

For an E2 employee with one to four years, the base salary will change from $48,214.40 to 51,386.40 per year. The pay matrix rates for E2 employees in subsequent year blocks will not change.

There are no changes being made to the pay matrixes for E3 or E4 employees, non-exempt (NE) employees or professional employees.

The amount of employees who will be eligible for the pay matrix change in December will be minimal, according to Carlton, as he stated the majority of E1 and E2 employees with Orange County have 15 years or more of service.

Approximately seven E1 or E2 employees are anticipated to be impacted by the approved change to the pay ma-

Depot’s original fundraising goal is $650,000 and the organization currently has raised more than $500,000 in its efforts.

The walk-through tour provided a lot of insight to the current state of the project for many members of the Friends of the Orange Depot organization, including its president, Carrie Woliver.

“This has all been a big surprise,” Woliver said when asked about the revelations of the walk-through tour. “It was such a big mess in there for so long before we started this project, but saving something like (the depot) is so important because it is such a big part of the history of Orange.”

According to the official website, the Orange Depot Museum will include exhibits about the industries of Orange and the significance of each to the area, replicas of ships and boats built in Orange, model trains and other interactive exhibits to educate local school students and guests.

committed but questions the amount on the time he received for punishment. The controversy over the two cases added fuel to the fire.

“Just because LaKendrick is black doesn’t mean he should have gotten more time,” Ross said. “If it is nothing, then it’s nothing - but it needs to be looked into.”

Sonnier is the fourth child of eight for Paulina Wallace.

Her son graduated from West Orange-Stark High School in 2013 and joined the Army Reserves. He also worked at a local refinery. However, she does not know why her son did this crime.

“My heart is broken,” she said.

According to Wallace, Sonnier did not have any prior convictions. She thinks 35 years is too much and just

wants answers.

“I am not saying don’t hold him accountable. I just want what is fair to my child,” Wallace said. “A lot of people are reaching out to me, both black and white.”

Wallace said she plans to appeal the sentence and will continue to fight for her child until she has no more fight left in her body.

The main thing is “just peace,” Ross said.

Adding to the unrest is the murder of 35-year-old Emanuel Thornton, of Orange, in January 2014. The homicide happened in the 1500 block of Carter Street. Thornton was gunned down and was laying in the front yard with multiple gun shot wounds when police arrived. No arrests have been made in the case.

Carlton also said Missy Pillsbury, who had served as the county’s interim Emergency Management Coordinator, had been promoted to become the new Deputy Emergency Management Coordinator.

“Once we receive the result, we will take it to the district attorney’s office for review and then a possible Grand Jury,” Enmon said.

City of Orange to keep citizens updated through Facebook Tommy Mann Jr. For The Record

The City of Orange is the latest governmental entity to take to social media and keep citizens informed. The city has officially created the Orange Texas Gov page, which can be found on Facebook.

According to Jay Trahan, the assistant city manager for the City of Orange, and Hillary Haynes, the city’s social media coordinator, the purpose of creating the page and its intent was simple.

“It’s all about creating awareness,” Trahan said. “Studies shows that 70 percent of social media traffic is driven by Facebook and we want to use Facebook to create awareness of the city and its city departments.”

The City of Orange Convention and Visitors Bureau has had an established Facebook page for several years now, but Trahan said Mayor Jimmy Sims and the rest of city council were concerned about creating awareness of other events and what these

time with the city and being on the creative side of such an endeavor.

“Launching this Facebook page has been the highlight of my time as social media coordinator so far,” she said. “And we judge how successful this page is by how many views each item gets and how many likes, but the real key is how many times it is shared. The more times a post is shared, then the more people there are seeing it.”

Plans are already in the works for the next step in social media expansion for the City of Orange, but the main goal is focus on the city’s Facebook page, which has the bright logo and blue map background with the City of Orange pinpointed in the middle.

“We just really want to encourage peole to like the page and to see what is happening with the City of Orange,” Trahan said. “It’s much more involved than I thought it would be, and I think it will create a lot of awareness for the community.”

Public Library, recognition of city employees who have received certifications or promotions, or even those who have retired. Grand opening information, profiles of city councilmembers or city employees may be included, as well as notifications from various city departments such a emergency road closures or water service disruptions.

“We all like to know what is happening in our community,” Trahan added. “And we like to put faces with the names, so this Facebook page is another way to keep the community informed on what is happening in the city.

“This is still new for us and we’re navigating it one step at a time,” he continued. “We are taking a city-wide approach to it and using it to create a positive outlet for information about things happening in the City of Orange.”

Haynes, who is working in close contact with all city departments to ensure relevant information is shared with those who are following the Orange Texas Gov page on Facebook as quickly as possible, has enjoyed her short

city departments do.

This concern led the creation of a full-time social media coordinator position with the City of Orange and the hiring of Haynes, who began working for the city in April.

Haynes, who is a graduate of Orangefield High School and obtained her Bachelor’s degree of Business Administration in Marketing from Lamar University, said she spent a considerable amount of time researching other similar social media pages for cities such as Houston and Austin.

“It was important to look at those various Facebook pages to learn about their social media policies in terms of content and administration duties on posts,” she explained. “It helped us determine how we wanted the page to look.”

The new Orange Texas Gov page, according to Haynes, will include a variety of information for the community, including activities and information on items.

Deaths & Memorials

Marie Browning Orange

James Garrison Jasper

Marie Therese Browning, 81, of Orange, passed away June 20. Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m., Thursday, June 23, at Claybar Funeral Home in Orange. Officiating will be the Rev. Lynn Ashcraft. Burial will follow at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens.

Visitation will be from 5:00-7:00 p.m., Wednesday, Marie at Claybar Funeral Home in Orange.

Born in Dordogne, France, Feb. 26, 1935, she Browning was the daughter of Augustus and Marie Daudou.

The life of Marie Therese Browning was filled with adventure, joy and an exploration of the experience of coming to America, finding her love and raising a family. Marie came to America in a quest unknown to everyone including her family. She wanted to challenge herself. The challenge of attending college in a new land must have seemed overwhelming, but she walked bravely into Texas.

Her family in France remained very important to her, but she seeked a different life.

The family heard stories of meeting Bill on a blind date. How wonderful that a simple yes to a new adventure led to the Browning family of Bill, Marie, Elgin and Wayne. Marie and Bill faced the challenges of raising a new family on a tight budget and then they made the decision to leave the family home place and move to Orange. With Marie’s strength and determination and Bill’s hard work, they bought a duplex house, split it in half and made a home for the family.

Marie stayed at home and raised the boys and was always devoted to the family and instilled her French heritage and beliefs into her children. She took the boys to France when they were young and made sure that they knew their grandparents, aunts, uncles and all their cousins. She strived to teach them French.

When the kids were grown and in school, to improve the family’s life, Marie went to work at the Fair Store downtown. She worked in different stores in Orange and finally retired so to speak from Kmart.

She loved her sons, Elgin and Wayne. She supported them only as a mother can when they had hard times in school, work, or as they were raising their families. Each of her children and grandchildren know and appreciate all she gave. She loved her grandchildren and was at all of their school event and games taking TONS of pictures.

She loved her time with the sorority sisters of Beta Sigma Pi where they did lots of community work around Orange. She also loved playing in her monthly bunko club with her friends where she always wanted to know who won. She enjoyed socializing with all of the people from her church on the first Tuesday of the month for a good pot luck dinner. She especially enjoyed the volunteer service at the Lutcher Theatre, being able see all the plays and shows, and through her love of flowers became a volunteer at Shangri La for a short period of time.

So needless to say she was a busy lady always having to check her pocket calendar to see if she could fit something else in.

We all joke that she drove more miles than racer Mario Andretti, as we feel the poor wheels on the cars never stopped spinning, but it gave her great pleasure to share, help and of course “gossip” on the latest news about Orange and her circle of friends at all the meetings and luncheons.

We are all sure that she is telling everyone what to do in Heaven and catching up on what’s next to do. We know she will tell Bill, “let’s go”, as they embark on their next adventure.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Billy Browning.

Marie is survived by her sons, Elgin Browning and wife Verniece, of Orangefield and their three daughters, sons-in-law, and six grandchildren and Wayne Browning and wife Becky, of Buna and their two children and son-in-law; siblings, Jacqueline Lapeyronnie, Simone Daudou and Edward Daudou, all of France; along with several nieces and nephews.

Deer breeders at odds with TPWD decision Texas Parks and Wildlife Dept. adopts new rules to combat disease in deer Staff Report For The Record

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission adopted new rules Monday to combat a disease found in deer, but the new rules could put a strain on many of the state’s 1,300 deer breeding businesses the Austin American Statesman reports.

The commission’s vote came after months of discussions with interested groups, including breeders, ranch owners who sell hunting leases, environmental groups and livestock organizations.

The purpose for new regulations is to address how the state is going to deal with chronic wasting disease. The neurological condition — which affects deer, elk and maybe moose, but not humans — can cause weight loss, behavioral changes, brain lesions, excessive salivation, pneumonia, difficulty swallowing and head tremors.

It was discovered last year at a breeding facility in Medina County, near San Antonio.

With the commission’s unanimous vote on Monday, deer breeders will have to comply with increased regulation.

There will be limited movement of breeder deer across the state, increased postmortem testing for chronic wasting disease and more live testing for the disease, too.

Deer breeding opponent Jenny Sanders, who is executive director of Texans for Saving our Hunting Heritage, called the commission vote a win.

Sanders, who also has served a manager on the 11,300-acre Temple Ranch near Freer in South Texas, said chronic wasting disease as a major threat to whitetailed deer in Texas and to the multibillion-dollar hunting industry. The state had the responsibility to protect the state’s 4 million white-tailed deer, she said.

Not everyone agreed with Sanders and the commissioners.

Particularly frustrated were few dozen members of Texas’ biggest deer breeding

group, who walked out of a meeting before the vote even occurred.

Breeders involved with the Texas Deer Association said they believed the members of the commission had come to the meeting with their minds made up.

Marty Berry, a breeder from South Texas, said he felt like the commissioners didn’t care to hear from breeders.

“Nothing else can be accomplished at this level, “ he said.

Hugo Berlanga, a former member of the Texas House from Corpus Christi and owner of a deer breeding business, said the breeding industry in Texas is already on “life support.” The new regulations will come with high costs and will force some breeding operations of out business, he said.

“They have done so much damage to breeders,” he said.

Berlanga said the process was rigged to the benefit of large ranch owners who fear competition from smaller businesses that are often close to metro areas.

“It’s a bunch of elitists. I can’t explain it any simpler than that,” said Berlanga, a board member of the Texas Deer Association.

Sanders, whose group’s members in-

Kaz: Astro’s Dallas Keuchel toll on such big-named golfers as Mickelson, Rory McIlroy, Ernie Els, Justin Rose and my favorite Rickie Fowler—and was tied for second place at threeunder par, four shots behind the Irish Republic’s Shane Lowry.

During the several hours before the final round began Sunday morning, the FOX Gestapo still didn’t give Landry his due credit for remaining near the top of the field and kept speculating on what kind of score Spieth or Westwood would have to shoot to compete for the winner’s trophy.

Actually all Landry had to do Sunday was to shoot even par like he did on Saturday to win it as he earned the right to play with Lowry in the final group of the day.

But things didn’t work out well for him as he bogeyed the first two holes and disappeared from the television screen for the rest of the tournament. It wasn’t too much longer after Lowry also hit a bad run of holes and he, too, was gone from the FOX telecast.

When the dust had settled and the golfers were finished with their last round, Andrew Landry had carded an eightover 78 and finished in a tie for 15th place. But his paycheck was a biggie for him-$152,234—and the respect he gained from his peers and millions of golfing fans was priceless.

“I’m taking this as a positive,” the optimistic Landry said after signing his card late Sunday afternoon. His 285 score was nine shots behind winner Dustin Johnson.

“Obviously it’s my best finish of the year. So I’m taking it as a positive and move on to the following weeks and just continue to prepare. I’ve been in this situation, so I’m going to learn from it,” Landry concluded.

The best finish for the former Arkansas Razorback golfer on the Tour was a tie for 41st. It

will be interesting how far up from 624th last weekend will carry his world ranking.

KWICKIES…The Long Beach State 49ers, which barely missed getting into the College World Series in Omaha, has a strange nickname for their baseball team—the Dirtbags!!

The Houston Astros continue their trek toward the .500 mark after taking two of three from the Cincinnati Reds and hopefully will attain that goal after their three-game series with the Los Angeles Angels concludes tonight (Wed.). The ‘Stroes went into the LA series Monday with a 34-36 record after winning four of their last five games.

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt, who went to high school at LufkinHudson and college at the University of Texas, pounded his 10th home run and drove in his 35th RBI to help his team win their eighth game in a row by downing Tampa Bay 5-1 Sunday. Belt raised his batting average to .305 through Sunday’s action.

The AL West leading Texas Rangers swept the St. Louis Cardinals in a three-game series, beating the sagging Redbirds 5-4 in Arlington. The Rangers are 16-4 in one-run games while the Cardinals dropped their fifth game in a row, all to Texas teams as the Astros swept them in a twogame series last week.

JUST BETWEEN US…Those diehard fans in Cleveland had to wait more than half-a-century but they finally were rewarded big-time Sunday night when the Cavaliers upset the highly-favored Golden State Warriors in the seventh game of the 2016 NBA Finals and hung on for a 93-89 victory in Oakland. The Cavs became the first team in NBA history to come back from a 3-1 deficit and beat the defending world champion Warriors. LeBron James, who promised two years

clude some representatives from major Texas ranches, has rejected the notion that the breeder fight is about large ranch owners trying to eliminate competition from breeders.

Rather, she said in a recent op-ed published in the San Antonio Express News, that “a small group of deer breeders” has “embarked on an effort to undermine” the efforts of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

Josh Havens, a spokesman for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, said the commission has heard testimony from a number of individuals who either represent themselves, organizations and landowners.

“This is a public resource issue, and the commission will make their decision based on science and what is in the best interest of the states wildlife and hunting heritage,” Havens wrote in a text message.

Berry, the South Texas breeder, said his and other breeders’ fight won’t end with the commission vote.

An already-filed lawsuit is going to be part of the answer, he said.

“That’s going to be the next step before the Legislature,” he said.

Structure in all kinds of places OUTDOORS WEEKLY CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE In many ways our freshwater counterparts have it made; no tides to worry about, no fish stealing sharks, and you couldn’t step on a sting ray if you tried. e saltwater folks on the other hand have plenty of positives as well like how many hard pulling species of fish one can encounter on a single trip, or the simple fact that you have the potential to hook a creature that may indeed be bigger than your boat. Both sides have great arguments that back up their claims to being the best bite going. One thing the freshwater folks have that we don’t is an over abundance of fishable structure, or do they?

Saltwater structure varies in many ways and can be as simple or complex as you want to make it. For instance let’s talk shallow structure, small very minor depressions in a flat can be called structure because they fit the mold. Structure is something different in an area that fish relate to or use for certain purposes like food or shelter. e small depressions can offer fish an opportunity to escape a stronger tide or aid them in ambushing baitfish, they are structure. More noticeable structure could be grass lines or other

vegetation growing in or near the w a t e r.

Some grass can actually help you find certain types of structure like underwater points.

Along the banks of the Sabine River we have a certain spartina like grass that grows along the shore, each place where this grass grows usually indicates a shallow point that runs out into the river. Points like these are fish magnets; we have had some incredible days fishing the down current sides of these areas and we continue to use them still.

Now a more classic version of structure for saltwater fishermen are reefs made from various types of shell such as oyster, clam or mussel. ese areas are perhaps the most targeted pieces of structure in all the bay systems along the gulf coast. A good productive reef can and will attract plenty of attention from both fish and fishermen. Each bay has its own big name reefs where fishermen congregate regardless of whether the fish are biting or not, it doesn’t matter because everyone knows the area so consequently it must be good. e

irty young artists, enjoying the summer, participated in the Summer Art Camp at Saint Mary Catholic School. e winners of this year’s camp were just announced.

Taking the Best of Show in the Kindergarten through Pre-K 3 Division were Brooklyn Stokey and Zayden Teal, both in first grade.

In the fourth and fifth grade division, the Best of Show were Madison McConnell, fourth Grade, and Kyden Lyon of the

fifth Grade. e Best of Show winners in the sixth through eighth grade division were Audrey Johnson, eighth Grade and Adisyn Powell of the sixth grade.

Named the Most Creative was Kallee Nguyen. All other children received ribbons for participation. e Camp is held each summer and is taught by Cindy Claybar, the art teacher at Saint Mary Catholic School.

real hidden gems in any bay are the small reefs that not many folks know about because they receive little pressure and often produce big fish. I know guys who guard these areas like they were gold; they will often abandon the area if a boat gets near only to return when the area is vacant. GPS numbers to small hotspots like these are closely guarded and rarely shared with someone outside “the circle” of close fishing partners. If you are fortunate enough to find a place like this you would be wise to keep it to yourself.

Now what about finding one of those hidden gems, one of those “go to” spots that seem to always attract and hold fish. ere are all kind of methods to locating a reef or pile of shell and they all have one thing in common, they take time and effort.

Many anglers will use the winter months to locate shell because the fishing is slower during that time of the year. I have seen people drag chain, conduit, or some other contraption that will make noise when it hits shell. Others will carry a push pole or some conduit and randomly probe the bottom as they drift an area. I have spent hours watching oyster boats work and recording GPS numbers on places where I never knew there were oysters.

You can use all kinds of methods

as long as you are willing to put in some time because that is the key.

Now back to our freshwater friends and one advantage they have over us in the salt, they can build their own structure. I am sure most folks have heard about anglers up on the lakes sinking Christmas trees or other forms of structure to attract crappie and other fish, the technique is simple and it works. Saltwater folks have to contend with a few more rules so this technique is a little more difficult to pull off. It is my understanding that you just can’t go out and start dumping shell or rocks in a bay and make an artificial reef, if this was legal you can bet there would be some folks out there who would just go crazy with the practice. I will say however I have found wooden pallets, box springs, bathtubs, and even commodes make great artificial reefs when you find them sunk in a particular area. How these items got to where they are I don’t know, all I can say that they hold fish and can certainly be classed as fishable structure. I can just see it now the next time I catch a bunch of fish telling everyone “yeah that commode and bathtub pattern is really holding strong”. Only an upper coast Cajun could appreciate a report like that.

Local heroes do their good deeds quietly J. David Derosier Special to e Record

“Ms. D� (not her real name) is now 73 years old and, together with her son, lives in a small house on a quiet side street in Orange. ere is limited income and no car to drive to the store for groceries, so it’s walk to WalMart, the Dollar Store, or convenience store. Unfortunately this is not an unusual or isolated instance in Orange.

What is unusual is that the house became the target of an extremely heavy infestation of termites; so heavy that the siding on the house was eaten through in many places – on three sides of the house.

With no money to remove the bugs, let alone repair the damage to the house, it just got worse.

Without knowing who or where to turn to, they learned to live with what they had.

Fortunately the situation was noticed and an action plan put into place. e ďŹ rst step was to get rid of the termites. Bill Clark Pest Control, headquartered in Beaumont and with an oďŹƒce in Orange was approached and stepped up to the plate. e “Bugspertsâ€? at Bill Clark Pest Control have a long history of both controlling pests and of serving their community in other ways. is time, they stood up and oered to eliminate Ms. D’s termites at no charge to her.

Because of the unusually wet weather, it took a couple of months to actually complete the work, but no more termites. Just holes in the walls. e next step was to do something with the exterior walls through which the termites had eaten. Stepping up to the plate this time was G&G Enterprises Construction Corp. of Orange with administrative oďŹƒces in Beaumont. When the situation was explained to them they sent

Volunteers with the Orange Lions team are (in no particular order), Harold Welsh, Sandra Williams, Chris and Jackson Kovatch, Stump Weatherford, Bill Smith, Don and Pam King, George Russell, Bubba Davis, Lois Hughes, Linda Craft, Allyson and Butch Campbell. out a project manager to scope out the work and volunteered to repair the exterior of the home, except for the painting – again, at no charge to the homeowner. e exterior repairs were completed in May and for the ďŹ rst time in many months the wind did not come through the walls. e ďŹ nal step has been picked up by the Orange Lions Club.

(Both mother and son were former members of the Pinehurst Lions Club.) ey agreed to raise the funds to purchase the paint and supplies, and put together a working party to spend the day painting, to ďŹ nish the job. e Lions’ motto is “We Serveâ€?. Especially, as in this case, they take care of fellow Lions, even though painting is not in the usual menu of things they do for the community.

But wait‌that’s not all. Each of these Local Hero Organizations recruited others to help.

Ritter Lumber of Buna, Nederland, Beaumont, Hemphill, and Lufkin donated materials for the

exterior repair.

SherwinWilliams donated the paint for the Lions Club. ese organizations and the people that run them are the unsung heroes that coexist with us here in the Golden Triangle, quietly performing heroic acts within the community.

I salute these heroes and ask that you readers do the same. ey give back to the commu-

Joyce Meyers: If I had one more sermon to preach, this is what I’ll say

BY KATHERINE WEBER CHRISTIAN POST REPORTER If she had one more message to preach about, it would be to encourage Christians to “love, love, and then love some more,” inspirational Christian speaker Joyce Meyer says.

During a recent guest sermon at Life. Church in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Meyer explained that love is the most important thing Jesus said we have to do for ourselves, for others, and for Him. Meyer, founder of Joyce Meyer Ministries, says that a turning point in her life was learning that it is impossible to be both selfish and happy, saying that although she didn’t have financial stresses and had a good husband and children, she was unable to be happy because she was too self-involved.

Then, God spoke to her, telling her “you’re not happy because you’re selfish.”

“It’s just not possible to have yourself on your mind all the time and be happy,” Meyer says.

She points specifically to John 13:35, which calls on Christians to show their faith to others through love: “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Non-Christians are “not going to know us by our church attendance or by the bumper sticker in our car,” Meyer explains. “The only thing that’s going to convince the world

Joyce Meyer, founder of Joyce Meyer Ministries, says that a turning point in her life was learning that it is impossible to be both selfish and happy.

that Jesus is real is if we who call ourselves Christians can learn to walk in love everywhere we go.”

The evangelical leader goes on to say that Christians need to simplify their understanding of love. “Love is not a sermon, it’s not a theory, it’s not a book, it’s how we treat people,” she says.

The true challenge to being loving is to see how we treat

people who cannot give us anything in return, Meyer explains.

We as Christians should ask ourselves “how do I treat people that don’t have anything I want? […] that’s what important to God.” Meyer references 1 Corinthians 12:31, which speaks on the overarching theme of love.

“But earnestly desire and zealously cultivate the greatest

and best gifts and graces (the higher gifts and the choicest graces). And yet I will show you a still more excellent way [one that is better by far and the highest of them all – love],” the verses read, according to the AMP version.

We as Christians need an overarching theme of: “’I’m doing this because I love God, and I’m doing this because I love you.’”

This is because “anything that doesn’t flow dies,” and therefore God’s love needs to flow out of us to stay alive.

“God’s love flows to us, it ministers to us, but then it has to flow out of us, otherwise it becomes like a stagnant pool of water and our lives just begin to stink,” Meyer says.

This ties in with 1 John 3:17 and the importance of maintaining an open heart of compassion through which God’s love can flow to others.

“But if anyone has this world’s goods (resources for sustaining life) and sees his brother and fellow believer in need, yet closes his heart of compassion against him, how can the love of God live and remain in him?” the verses read.

Meyer concludes her message by encouraging Christians to keep an open heart of compassion for others, so their hearts may serve as vessels through which God’s love can flow.
