County leaders tackle terror drill together The exercise was the third and last tabletop drill put on by the Southeast Texas Regional Planning Commission’s Criminal Justice and Homeland Security Division.

In 2017, SETRPC, one of 19

councils of government in Texas, was one of 141 applicants across the nation and one of only 26 to be awarded a $1 million Department of Homeland Security/FEMA Grant to develop a Unified

Regional Response to a Complex Coordinated Terrorist Attack.

The grant runs for three years and will culminate next year with an area-wide, full-scale exercise.

The first two tabletop drills were focused on law enforcement and emergency medical managers.

All hell was breaking loose.

The worst you could think of – and a lot you’d never think of -- was raining down or blowing up.

It was like the old TV show “24” on steroids.

But Orange County leaders kept their cool as they dealt with one possible terrorism scenario after another at last week’s Complex

Coordinated Terrorist Attack Executive Leadership Tabletop Drill and the Beaumont Emergency Operations Center.

“It’s just a sad state of affairs that we have to train like this for situations like this,” John Tarver, Orange County’s Chief Sheriff’s Deputy, said as he left the three-hour exercise.

“But I’d rather be trained and have plans for action, than not have any plans at all.”

Proposed Orange budget targets improvements Dave Rogers

For The Record

Kelvin Knauf, acting city manager for the City of Orange, led council members through a pair of detailpacked budget workshops Wednesday Aug. 7 and Thursday Aug. 8.

They centered on a proposed 2020 budget of $44 million, including general fund, water and sewer fund, general debt and special revenue funds, that was based on a proposed tax rate of 80.69 cents per $100 of property value.

That’s just 18-hundredths of a penny over last year’s rate of 80.51 cents per $100.

Knauf’s proposed budget includes about $2.5 million of increased revenues over the 2019 budget, with only a little over $500,000 coming from property taxes. Total proposed ad valorem (property) taxes are $7.5 million, with payments in lieu of taxes for industry at $9.6 mil-

lion.

The value of city properties have gone up 6.7% since last year.

Major projects for the General Fund include: • $369,478 for drainage improvements • $200,000 for the demolition of the old Cove School • $650,000 to replace the Lions Den Park playscape • $100,000 for improvements at Northway Park • $52,400 for improvements at Memorial Park • 25,000 for decorative street lights in Old Orange historic district Additionally, the General Fund include funds (including salary and benefits) for new positions: • $81,825 for grants accountant • $92,561 for information technology technician • $78,060 for an additional firefighter • $86,339 for an additional ORANGE BUDGET Page 3A

Orange City Council chose its new city manager Tuesday, and it is Vidor City Manager Mike Kunst.

While the “sole finalist” and the city attorney met to go over the details of a contract, others with a long memory were left to wonder what it is that makes Vidor’s city managers so attractive in Orange.

Kunst will be filling the full-time shoes of Shawn Oubre, who was city manager in Orange for 13 years after coming to the job from a similar position at Vidor.

“I’m just guessing I’ll get started Oct. 1, the beginning of the new fiscal budget year, and that’ll let me finish up in Vidor,” Kunst said.

“There’s not a lot I can do here in the middle of the Orange budget process.”

Kunst, a Vidor native and Lamar graduate, was city manager for Vidor for 6-1/2 years, a job he came to from an unusual path.

For 20 years he worked as a funeral director in Vidor, Orange and Beaumont while doubling up those 20 years as a member of the National Guard.

Kunst served two deployments in Iraq.

“I got into city government by chance,” he said.

“When I got out of the guard, I had post-9/11 GI Bill benefits, and I guess I needed something to do.

“I took a class or two on a master’s degree in public administration. Then Vidor needed a city manager.

“I figured, ‘What could it hurt?’ So I applied and got the job. When this job came open, I said, ‘This is too much not to at least try for.’

“What’s the worst that could happen? They might not hire me.”

Texans get ready for beer to go and booze delivery Sept. 1 Lara Korte The Texas Tribune

Starting Sept. 1, Texans will be able to leave brewery taprooms with a case of their favorite craft beer, and order wine and beer for delivery, thanks to two laws passed by the Legislature this year.

Brewers and beer lovers around the state fought for beer to go, saying it will boost business and drive tourism to Texas.

“It’s going to be a really cool opportunity to showcase our ability in a different light,” said Rachael Hackathorn, taproom manager at the Austin-based Zilker Brewing Co. “For an out-oftown guest to take our beer back home with them and share it with their friends, that’s really what beer culture is about.”

Texas beer sales run on a system of three tiers: manufacturers who make the product, distributors who take it to market and retailers who sell it to customers.

In the past, some beer distributors were opposed to beer to go, saying it would interrupt the state’s beer market and that Texas should continue its strict separation of the three tiers. The rationale behind the system is that it prevents anyone in one tier from controlling any of the activities of the other two tiers.

But this year, the distributors and brewers came to an agreement to allow brewers more access to the retail tier.

“Quite frankly, we were just tired of all the negative publicity and people not understanding the nuances of the three-tiered system,” said Rick Donley, president of the Beer Alliance of Texas, an organization that represents distributors. “That’s the reason we agreed to a very limited amount of beer to be sold per customer per craft brewer.”

Sen. Dawn Buckingham, who authored the legislation, said although it was first met with some “significant opposition” from the distribution and retail tiers, she was hap-

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed new laws that will allow breweries to sell beer to go out of their taprooms, and allow food and wine retailers to deliver beer or wine directly to customers. The new laws go into effect Sept. 1.

py to see the parties eventually come to an agreement.

“Beer to go was kind of the perfect example of the little guys being overrun by the process,” said Buckingham, a Lakeway Republican. “It seemed a little crazy that Texas would be the only state where you can’t go to a brewery and bring home a little bit of beer.”

Josh Hare, chairman of the Texas Craft Brewers Guild, praised craft beer enthusiasts for their role in changing the law.

“Our guild has gotten really active from a grassroots level, both through the political action committee, as well as just really beefing up our efforts to educate beer drinkers to what’s going on in the industry,” Hare said. “I think we’ve set a really cool example of how a grassroots effort of business owners and consumers together can effect change legislatively.”

Beer to go is part of a larger bill, House Bill 1545, which the Legislature passed in order to keep the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission functioning for another dozen years. For some longtime fans of craft beer,

the change couldn’t come soon enough.

“There are beers I’ve found where I’m like, ‘Damn, I wish I could bring this home,’ but you can’t,” said Jamison Gilveli, an Austin resident who spoke to The Texas Tribune on a recent afternoon while enjoying a pint of Honey Blonde beer at Zilker’s taproom. “There’s no question, if you find a beer that you really like and it happens to be a microbrewery, then you’re definitely excited about it because you get to bring it home.”

Texas is one of many states experiencing the effects of a craft beer boom. In the past eight years, the number of craft breweries in the state has grown from 59 to 283,

according to the National Brewers Association.

While Texas ranks 11th among the states for total number of breweries, it ranks 46th in the number of breweries per capita — 1.4 breweries per 100,000 drinkingage adults.

Brewers say the new beerto-go law will be another reason for tourists to visit Texas.

“Most people who don’t live in Texas don’t get Texas beer,” said Charles Vallhonrat, executive director of the Texas Craft Brewers Guild.

“Now they can take it home with them to tell their friends and neighbors, so when they come to Texas, they’re looking for that beer as well.”

Under current Texas law, patrons can take home a bottle of wine from a winery or spirits from a distillery, but not beer from a brewery. It’s been particularly frustrating for organizations like Treaty Oak Distilling, which manufactures all three. Jason Stein, Treaty Oak’s head brewer, said the company is excited about the change.

“On a Saturday afternoon, I can send people home with two bottles of bourbon and a case of wine, but not a single can of beer,” Stein said. “If people can bring some home, share it with friends, take it to other cities, other states, let people know what we’re doing here, that’ll just entice people to come back out and see everything that we have to offer out here.”

JP Urabazzo is vice president of the Beer Alliance of Texas. Although the beer-togo law works outside the long-defended three-tier market, Urabazzo said, he

still believes the legislation will be a success.

“It’s something that the Legislature had plotted and allowed for those craft brewers who are kind of needing a runway to get to market,” Urabazzo said.

Another new perk for alcohol aficionados starting this fall: beer and wine delivery.

In June, Gov. Greg Abbott signed House Bill 1232, which allows Texas’ 10,000 beer and wine retailers to deliver the goods right to cus-

tomers’ doors.

The governor signed the law in a video on Twitter, telling Texans to “enjoy responsibly.”

Under the new law, those with beer and wine retailer’s licenses, which includes many restaurants, cafes and coffee shops, will be able to apply for permits to deliver wine and beer themselves or contract through a digital delivery service like Instacart or Amazon.

Jefferson, Orange and Hardin Counties. All three county judges took part in the Aug. 8 exercise, as did mayors of most cities and their emergency management coordinators and many of their first responders.

Orange County was represented by County Judge John Gothia, County Commissioners Johnny Trahan and Kirk Roccaforte, Emergency Management Coordinator Joel Ardoin and Tarver.

Robert Crane, operations supervisor for Acadian Ambulance Service, was part of the team.

Mayors David Rutledge of Bridge City and Pete Runnels of Pinehurst were there, along with Police Chiefs Rod Carroll of Vidor, Fred Hanauer of Pinehurst, Emergency Management Director Lee Anne Brown of Orange

and Bridge City ISD Police Chief Steve Brinson.

Another dozen or so Orange County public safety officials took part, as well.

Each county was assigned a group table and others were set aside for the biggest cities, Beaumont and Port Arthur.

Kevin Clement of the University of Houston ran the drill and read from a timeline a list of well-coordinated terrorist attacks that dealt death, destruction and mass chaos equally across the three countries.

The leaders worked together to address the makebelieve worst-case scenarios that Clement described and prepare to guard against others.

“This is the first one [terrorism drill] I’ve attended, but it’s very similar to what

Locals win Film Fest and internationally.”

Mazzagate said he pondered on the subject and what he wanted it to look like for about a year before doing anything. “I wrote the script in about a day,” he said. “I let a few mothers who had experienced this type of tragedy, including my wife, read it.

They all gave it their blessing. I was excited to have my daughter play the key role and do the voiceover. She was equally as honored to be the voice and represent all of the babies that have passed on, including her sibling.”

Mazzagate said they filmed it in about four hours in two locations, Claiborne Park and an empty field in Little Cypress. “I edited it and had it completed in a couple of days.”

Since he does film as a ministry he said he doesn’t like to force anything. “So whatever is next, I’ll wait on the Lord to provide that.”

Orangefield’s Penny LeLeux took home the award for short screenplay for “Life with Bill: Waiting on Cahill” This is LeLeux’s first script that was written as part of a challenge last year.

“It is about the struggles and amusements of living with my brother-in-law Bill, who was born with Down’s syndrome and is 60 years old,” said LeLeux. “We also live on a family compound surrounded by family members. Just like a rose bush, it has great beauty, but it can also get pretty thorny at times. Needless to say, it’s a dramedy.”

It started as a short film screenplay, but with 16 years to draw on, she is working to convert it to a pilot for a potential series.

LeLeux starts shooting a film for a different script, “Shhh,” later this week, hoping to showcase local talent, locations and songwriters.

we do for storms,” said Gothia, who was a first-year commissioner when Hurricane Harvey hit in Southeast Texas in 2017.

“This is similar to Harvey in that all the counties and communities were in the same situation, and we couldn’t get help from our neighbors. We had to reach outside Southeast Texas for resources.”

Organizers of the drill were not looking for publicity but for teamwork. Handouts given the leaders were taken up at the end of the drill and shredded.

No one wanted to give anybody any ideas.

“This is too much,” Clement said, “but this is what happens in a complex coordinated terroristic attack.”

change in Texas law, Senate Bill 2, takes effect Jan. 1, 2020 and will greatly affect the city’s ability to generate taxpayer funds.

While the law that will cover the 2020 fiscal year (which begins Oct. 1, 2019) allows cities and counties to raise their tax rates up to 7.999% above the effective tax rate without asking voters’ permission, the new law – going into effect for fiscal year 2021 budgets – would force a taxpayers to vote for any raise of 3.5% or higher than the effective tax rate.

The 80.69 cents per $100 tax rate is 7.3% above the effective tax rate of 75.15 cents per $100, the rate at which last year’s properties would

return the same amount of revenue as in 2019’s budget.

“We used to look at budgets and see which ones we could postpone for future budgets,” Knauf told city councilors on Aug. 8. “We’re not going to be able to do that.

“The game has changed.

This is a heavy capital improvement budget. Normally, I would not have recommended such a big increase, but we need to look to future years.”

Besides capital improvements, Knauf’s budget includes a 2 percent cost of living increase for all city employees and “replacement of a lot of vehicles.”

Council members favored

to vote 7-0 to accept calculations by Orange County Appraisal District that showed the city had $1.5 billion in total market value property and $1.1 billion in taxable property.

That’s a 6.7% increase in taxable property, said Cheryl Zeto, city finance director.

On the good news front, the city OK’d an annual premium of $2.9 million on employee medical insurance with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas.

That’s a 9.7% reduction, Zeto said, and the city is continuing to pay 90 percent of its employees insurance.

While acknowledging a 6% increase in employee dental

From Page 1

insurance, there are no rate increases in employee vision and life insurance, Zeto said.

Council members voted to continue waiving building permit fees and allowing the use of recreational vehicles and travel trailers on residential property as temporary housing until FEMA ceased extensions to those staying in temporary housing.

Council members received an update on the proposed Chevron Phillips Chemical project in a closed executive meeting at the end of Tuesday’s meeting. No action was taken afterward.

That rate is the maximum city council can vote in after a pair of public tax rate hearings held at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 27 and at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 10.

The proposed tax rate will bring in $538,720 more than last year’s adopted budget.

Additionally, the city expects $898,844 more in industrial contract payments, $134,888 more in sales tax revenue and $845,651 from Invista because of the expiration of a tax abatement.

From The Creaux’s Nest ANOTHER WEEK—A LITTLE OLDER Well, as I sit here wondering what I will write about, I think about the Jeffery Epstein death. Some folks are claiming he robbed them of closure. How much more closure can there be than a man killing himself over his misdeeds. Oh well, that’s a whole other story. I’m sure some ladies are entitled to compensation but Attorney Lisa Bloom and her mom, Gloria Alred are worried about missing a big payday. Other lawyers will find clients coming out of the walls. It won’t soon be settled but in the meantime it will be like buzzards swarming. It will also be interesting to watch the game Trump’s mouthpiece AG William Barr plays.

SCARAMUCCI CALLS FOR TRUMP REPLACEMENT Longtime New York friend of Donald J. Trump, Anthony Scaramucci, has had to come to the parting of the way.

Scaramucci said on Monday, “Trump is giving people a license to hate.” He called on Republicans to consider replacing him on the top of the ticket next year. How are we all tolerating this, the rhetoric is so charged and so divisive that Republicans have to just take a step back now and say, “What are we doing, actually.” Last week Scaramucci said Trump’s visit to Dayton and El Paso was a total catastrophe. He was more focused on promoting himself than helping victims of violence. Trump was criticized for smiling and giving two thumbs up while his wife held a baby whose parents had both been killed. Scaramucci said he and Trump had been friends but he has changed. He will turn on me, he will turn on you and he will turn against the country. He predicted there could be a groundswell of other Republicans speaking out publicly about Trump.

Reasonable minded people in the Party will say, “Wait a minute, we can’t do this.” Going back to the beginning, Trump began his White House bid by calling Mexicans drug dealers and rapists. He has spoken of illegal immigration in Texas as an infestation and invasion. Trump has utterly failed in a president’s traditional role of uniting the country. His tenure has been one long attack on Muslins, immigrants, women of color and Latinos. He strokes racial fears and division. In a manifesto posted online, the 22-year-old, who killed 22 in El Paso, quoted Trump and warned against “Hispanic invasion in Texas.” Attorney Raul A. Reyes says Trump’s presidency is stained by his xenophobia and racism. Everyday the President acts more like a child. A barrage of statements from around the country has condemned him for re-tweeting a conspiracy theory about Epstein’s death, linking former United States President Bill Clinton to his death. That’s a rotten thing to say about anyone, but about a former president makes us appear as a third-world country. FOX News and talk radio fan the flames of hatred. Over 300 times FOX joined Trump’s talking points by calling migrants invaders. I predicted Trump would wreck the Republican Party now others are agreeing.

C’EST TOUT CULTURE WAR A tough new Trump Administration rule has been the top priority of Stephen Miller, the architect of Trump’s immigration agenda. Advocates say fear of losing legal status will stop the needy from seeking aid affecting the wellbeing of immigrant families, especially children. The new rule will mostly affect those who are already in the country legally seeking green cards or paths to citizenship and immigrants who want temporary Visas for work or school.

Even immigrants not affected by the rule change, such as current green card holders, have stopped signing up for benefits because they believe it could put them in the government’s crosshairs for a future deportation. It follows a series of policies by the Trump Administration to curtail immigration. It also comes as officials have been given expanded powers to detain and deport immigrants. Make no mistake, this rule by Miller, is a merit-based system, stoking such fear is by design, a chilling effect that is designed to discourage immigrants from any country. Immigration groups are widely expected to challenge the rule in court for being too harsh. *****I’ve come to the end, thanks for your time and making us the most read column in three counties.

Cardinals reunion slated for Oct. 19th e Bridge City High School Alumni Association is in the final stage of plans to host the annual Classic Cardinal Reunion on October 19. Other goals for the group include collecting senior class photos to finish the senior class display at the high school and to collect a few high school annuals to complete the principals’ office set.

Each year since 2007 the BCHS Alumni Association has hosted a “Classic Cardinal” reunion for senior classes that are celebrating 50 years or more beginning with the first senior class of 1957. Each year invitations are sent to former students up to the current 50-year mark. is year the class of 1969 has been added to the invitation list. All former students are invited to attend but invitations are only mailed to the classes of 1957 to 1969. is year almost 800 invitations will be mailed for the reunion held each year on the Saturday after homecoming which will be October 19, 2019. All former students are encouraged to attend the homecoming game on October 18 where two distinguished alumni and one outstanding alumnus will be honored. e distinguished alumni are selected by the high school principal and the outstanding alumni is selected by the association.

e BCHS Alumni are looking for senior class photos for the years 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962 and 1963. For some reason no official copies were available by the school when the Wall of Seniors was completed by former Principal Richard Briggs. If you have a senior portrait from any of these years, the association would like a copy.

You may bring your portrait to Central Office Supply located at 1600 Texas Avenue. e association will pay the cost for the scan and will pay for reproduction.

Inform the business owner, Eric Andrus, that the picture is for the alumni association. e Association is also looking for senior annuals from 1961 and 1962 to complete the set used in the principal’s office.

If you would like to donate your old annual, either contact Darrell Segura, BCHS Alumni cochairman or bring it directly to Principal Tom Wooley at the high school.

If you would like to join the BCHS Alumni Association, you can either call Segura at 409720-9999 or email the group at bchs_alumni@yahoo.com. e goal of the association is to keep pride in the history and traditions of Bridge City High School and keep friendships that were attained while at BCHS alive and on-going.

Does your vision of retirement align with the facts? Here are some noteworthy financial and lifestyle facts about life after 50 that might surprise you.

Up to 85 percent of a retiree’s Social Security income can be taxed. Some retirees are taken aback when they discover this. In addition to the Internal Revenue Service, 13 states levy taxes on some or all Social Security retirement benefits: Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, and West Virginia. (It is worth mentioning that the I.R.S. offers free tax advice to people 60 and older through its Tax Counseling for the Elderly program.)1 Retirees get a slightly larger standard deduction on their federal taxes. Actually, this is true for all taxpayers aged 65 and older, whether they are retired or not. Right now, the standard deduction for an individual taxpayer in this age bracket is $13,500, compared to $12,200 for those 64 or younger.2 Retirees can still use IRAs to save for retirement. ere is no age limit for contributing to a Roth IRA, just an inflation-adjusted income limit. So, a retiree can keep directing money into a Roth IRA for life, provided they are not earning too much. In fact, a senior can potentially contribute to a traditional IRA until the year they turn 70½.1 A significant percentage of retirees are carrying education and mortgage debt. e Consumer Finance Protection Bureau says that throughout the U.S., the population of borrowers aged 60 and older who have outstanding student loans grew by at least 20 percent in every state between 2012 and 2017. In more than half of the 50 states, the

increase was 45 percent or greater. Generations ago, seniors who lived in a home often owned it, free and clear; in this decade, that has not always been so. e Federal Reserve’s recent Survey of ConIan E. sumer Finance James found that more than a third of those aged 65-74 have outstanding home loans; nearly a quarter of Americans who are 75 and older are in the same situation.1 As retirement continues, seniors become less credit dependent. GoBankingRates says that only slightly more than a quarter of Americans over age 75 have any credit card debt, compared to 42 percent of those aged 65-74. 1 About one in three seniors who live independently also live alone. In fact, the Institute on Aging notes that nearly half of women older than age 75 are on their own. Compared to male seniors, female seniors are nearly twice as likely to live without a spouse, partner, family member, or roommate.1 Around 64 percent of women say that they have no “Plan B” if forced to retire early. at is, they would have to completely readjust and reassess their vision of retirement and also redetermine their sources of retirement income. e Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies learned this from its latest survey of more than 6,300 U.S. workers.3 Few older Americans budget for travel expenses. While retirees certainly love to travel, Merrill Lynch found that roughly two-thirds of people aged 50 and older admitted that they had never earmarked funds for their trips, and only 10 percent said that

they had planned their vacations extensively.1 What financial facts should you consider as you retire? What monetary realities might you need to acknowledge as your retirement progresses from one phase to the next? e reality of retirement may surprise you.

If show tune sounds were heard coming from the First United Methodist Church event hall in Orange on Thursday and Friday, August 8 and 9, the music was courtesy of Orange Community Players and members of FUMC. Paul Burch, center, along with Codie Vasquez, directed the event which was in memory of the late Joshua Arizona Scales, an OCP member. OCP is still trying to recover financially from the wrath of Harvey, after its theater on Division Street was destroyed almost two years ago. OCP is still trying to raise funds to remodel its new facility on Bowling Lane, the old movie theater which was not destroyed by Harvey.

Same great game, a few new rules

College football ready to kick off with new regs

JOE KAZMAR KAZ’S KORNER FOR THE RECORD

Whenever an unusual or controversial incident occurs in high school or college football, I have the good fortune of having a former football referee and current local high school football radio announcer living right across the street from me.

John Kimbrough, who doubles as the Orange County attorney, has a wealth of knowledge and experience about high school and college football that he is willing to share with me.

Friday afternoon we both were fetching our respective empty garbage cans from the side of the street and visiting about the upcoming football season.

John pointed out that collegiate football will have a few alterations in the rules that were initiated by the NCAA Football Rules Committee that received final approval by the Playing Rules Oversight Panel (PROP). He said he had an extra copy of these rules changes that I could have.

The first two rules pertained to the controversial targeting matter. “For a player to be disqualified

and the targeting

foul to be enforced, all ele

ments of a targeting

foul

be confirmed

must by the Instant Replay Official.

If any element of targeting cannot be confirmed, then the replay official shall overturn the targeting foul.”

The targeting rule, since its inception in 2008, has positively changed the student-athlete technique and coaching philosophy. In some cases, student-athletes were being disqualified without the elements of targeting present, due to instant replay philosophy and education.

This carves out targeting separately and requires the instant replay official to review all aspects of the play due to the significance of the rule and penalty involved.

Another aspect of targeting pertains to the Progressive Penalty Rule. “If a student-athlete receives a third or any subsequent targeting foul within the same season, that player is disqualified for the remainder of that game and the player would receive an automatic one-game suspension in his team’s next scheduled game.”

This change continues the evolution of the targeting rule. In very few cases, a student-athlete has been disqualified for targeting more than two times in the same season. Coaches and student-athletes need to review their approach after any targeting penalty.

The third change pertains to illegal wedge formations on kickoffs. A wedge is defined as two or more players aligned shoulder-to-shoulder within two yards of each other.

“After the ball has been kicked, it is illegal for two or more members of the receiving team intentionally to form a wedge for the purpose of blocking for the ball carrier. This is a live-ball foul, whether or not there is contact between opponents. There is no foul if the play results in a touchback, kick out of bounds or fair catch.”

The fourth change is about a blind-side block “defined as an open-field block against an opponent that is initiated from outside the opponent’s

College football will start in 2019 with some new rules that no doubt will trickle down to the high school level before the full story is told.

Korner

field of vision, or otherwise in such a manner that the opponent cannot reasonably defend himself against the block.”

Exceptions to this rule is the ball carrier and a receiver in the act of attempting to make a catch. It is a personal foul if a player delivers a blind-side block by attacking an opponent with forcible contact. If this action meets all elements of targeting, it is a blind-side block with targeting.

Change No. 5 has to do with overtime scoring where there is no change to the first four overtime periods. “Beginning with the fifth extra period, a team’s possession series will be one play for a two-point try from the three-yard line, unless relocated by penalty.”

This is a small adjustment to the overtime rules to end contests that go past four overtime periods more quickly and with fewer plays.

The sixth change doesn’t take effect until 2020 which states that all officiating crews, including the instant replay official, will be assigned from the same officiating organization (effective Aug. l, 2020).

The seventh and final change pertains to blocking below the waist. “When the defense is allowed to block below the waist by rule, the block must be directed from the front. This now lines up with the offensive team’s requirement.”

This adjustment will align the rules appropriately for both the offensive and defensive teams.

Some of the future changes proposed by fansided.com suggest to eliminate the touchback after fumbles out of the end zone, eliminate kickoffs, allow touchdown celebrations, the runner is down by contact, two feet inbounds for catches, start overtime at the 45 yard line, must have a winning record to make a bowl game and expand the College Football Playoff to eight teams.

KWICKIES…It appeared the Houston Astros were going to extend their winning streak to nine games Sunday after they turned a 5-4 ninth inning deficit into a 7-5 lead over the hapless Baltimore Orioles. Houston hurriedly had closer Roberto Osuno get

From Page 1B warm in the bullpen and brought him in to slam the door on the O’s in the bottom of the ninth inning. Osuna surrendered one run and then with two outs and two strikes on former Astro draft pick Rio Ruiz he threw a change-up that Ruiz planted over the right field wall for a walk-off two-run home run and an 8-7 win.

And while on the subject of the Astros, they really unloaded on Baltimore Saturday night at Camden Yards, winning 23-2, smacking 25 hits with six home runs and a franchise-record 12 extra-base hits. Rookie sensation Yordan Alvarez slugged three homers and drove in seven runs. The powerful designated hitter has 17 homers and 55 RBIs in 51 games through Sunday. And counting his season start at Round Rock, Alvarez has 30 home runs and has driven in an unbelievable 122 runs.

Patrick Reed of The Woodlands lost his third-round lead and came roaring back to overtake Jon Rahm and Abraham Ancer to win the Northern Trust for a one-stroke victory in the first round of the FedEx Cup playoffs. The 125-man field was reduced to 70 golfers for the second round.

Both Texas NFL franchises came up short in their opening exhibition games last weekend. The Houston Texans fell just short to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field Thursday 28-26 while the Dallas Cowboys managed just three field goals, losing to the San Francisco 49ers 17-9.

JUST BETWEEN US…Almost every day there is a sports talk show claiming that former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick should be talented enough to play with some team in the NFL. But having the necessary talent does not necessarily guarantee a football player a job. Team owners are more concerned about their players being trustworthy and not a radical misfit. And if a team owner demands that all players stand for the national anthem, then that’s the way it will be. Period!!!

Backwater earns high marks

CAPT. DICKIE COLBURN FISHING WEEKLY FOR THE RECORD

From the first class Friday night festivities at the Captain’s meeting to the weigh-in conducted under blistering hot conditions, the initial Backwater Challenge proved to be even more entertaining than promised.

The seventy-five teams that anted up the $300 entry fee for a shot at a purse second only to past pro events proved that local fishing was far better than expected. Their task was magnified by the fact that each team could weigh in both bass and redfish. A first place finish in either category was worth a whopping $7,500!

As expected, only a few teams opted to target both species. With a three fish limit for bass and a two fish limit for reds, regardless of how tough the catching may have been, the right two last minute casts could change your whole day.

David Burman and Myron Waldrep had to rank among the pre-tournament favorites to put together the winning three fish stringer in the bass division and they didn’t disappoint their supporters. The

duo has fished well in the w e e k l y S a b i n e R i v e r Sho otout s all year long and they stayed the course Saturday.

Their winning stringer weight of 11.06-pounds was anchored with a 5.26-pound bass that netted them the Big Bass side pot as well. The team of Michael Vaughan and Dan Misko finished second less than a third of a pound off the pace and Trey Smith, representing team Sabine River Ford, took home second place Big Bass money with a 3.85pound fish.

Heeee’s back! The same Steven Havard that was consistently at or near the top in every Tail Chaser Tournament resurfaced for Saturday’s tournament. Havard teamed up with Jason Stutes to not only win the redfish division with two fish weighing 17.95pounds, but the big fish pot as well with a 9.71 pound red.

Their winning weight included a .50-pound penalty for one dead fish.Jim Morrissey attributed their success to the new boat rather than any

skill or luck!

Brent Jaurez and Austin Angel finished second with 17.60-pounds in the stringer weight and second in the Big Red pot was well with an 8.94pound fish. Morrissey, the keeper of all data and numbers of any importance reported that the final total showed 48 reds and 102 bass were weighed in.

The Misko/Vaughan team very nearly had a tournament that you only dream about.

They were the only team to finish in the top five in both categories. While they still cashed two good checks, consider how close they were to winning a lot more. They were docked a half pound penalty for a dead fish that bumped them from second to fourth in the redfish category and finished second to the Burman/Waldrep team in the bass division by a third of a pound!

The seventy-five team field enabled fourteen teams to cash checks to the tune of $33,000 not counting side pots. The members of the Golden Triangle Tournament Association just did a fantastic job in pulling it off without a single angler protest. The final total raised for children’s charities in southeast Texas

has yet to be announced.

While watching the weighin I talked with a number of the teams that fished and there was a common thread regardless of which fish they targeted. A large percentage of those chasing redfish said they ran down small schools of fish feeding on the surface.

Bubba Sparrow said you had to get there quick as they were on the move. A lot of that has to do with the size of the shad they are currently chasing. The school is still in the neighborhood, but they can’t keep the small shad on the surface. The best news was that they found a few of those schooling reds on the north end of the lake!

I don’t know how many bass fishermen I spoke with that said they lost at least one four to five pound bass over the course of the day. That will happen all too frequently, especially under tournament pressure, but the fact that those larger bass are on the move is exciting.

Almost without exception, they also reported that the goggle-eye and bream just ate everything they threw at the bass. That is indeed a good thing.Fried goggle-eye fillets rank second only to crappie at my house!

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is reminding hunters and anglers that all current year Texas hunting and fishing licenses (except the year-to-date fishing license) expire the end of August, and new licenses for 2019-20 go on sale Thursday, Aug. 15.

Texas hunting, fishing licenses go on sale Thursday, Aug 15th Staff Report For e Record AUSTIN - e Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is reminding hunters and anglers that all current year Texas hunting and fishing licenses (except the year-to-date fishing license) expire the end of August, and new licenses for 2019-20 go on sale ursday, Aug. 15.

Outdoor enthusiasts in Texas purchase more than 2.4 million hunting and fishing licenses annually. Hunters and anglers can purchase licenses online, by phone or in person at any of the agency's 28 law enforcement field offices, at more than 50 state parks, and at over 1,700 retailers across the state.

Hunting and fishing licenses are available online at www.tpwd.texas.gov/buy, at license retailers or by phone at (800) 895-4248. e online transaction system is available 24/7. Call center hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ere is a required $5 administrative fee for each phone or online transaction, but unlimited items can be purchased during a single transaction for this $5 fee.

New this year, starting Sept. 1, are enhancements to make the licensing process simpler and faster. "Expedited checkout" speeds the process of re-purchasing the same license items bought during the previous three years. TPWD has also made it easier to show proof-of-license. Now hunters and anglers can use an electronic image of their license as proof-of-license and show/display it in any of these ways: (1) an electronic photo of your license, (2) an emailed receipt, (3) via your account within the license point-of-sale system, the Outdoor Annual App or the My Texas Hunt Harvest App (for hunters). You still must have your physical license for any activities requiring tags and the physical federal duck stamp for waterfowl hunting. License buyers will also enjoy a new, more mobile-friendly online system when purchasing on their phone.

In addition to purchasing a new license, hunters can also enter to win any of 10 premium guided hunt packages in the Big Time Texas Hunts drawing. All lodging and food is included and most of the packages allow winners to bring friends along to hunt. ere are packages to hunt

bighorn sheep, mule deer, white-tailed deer, nilgai, pronghorn, waterfowl, upland game birds, wild hog and more. New this year is the addition of waterbuck to the Exotic Safari hunt, which offers the chance to hunt gemsbok, scimitar-horned oryx, and axis deer--plus win a bonus Ruger American rifle and Vortex scope, donated by McBride's Guns in Austin.

Resident hunters and anglers can also purchase an entry in the Lifetime License Drawing. ree lucky winners will each win a Lifetime Super Combo License and never need to buy another Texas hunting or fishing license again. Entries are $5 each and can be purchased online, by phone or at any license retailer. e first entry deadline for the three monthly drawings is Sept. 30.

When making their purchase, license buyers can add a donation of $1, $5, $10 or $20 to help support the Feeding Texas Hunters for the Hungry program or the Veterans Commission's Veterans Assistance Fund. Donations to the Hunters for the Hungry program provide hunters with a way to donate legally harvested deer to participating processors, and this processed meat goes to local food banks to feed Texas families in need.

Donations to the Fund for Veterans Assistance program provides grants to veteran service organizations and nonprofit charitable institutions that assist veterans and their families at the community level throughout Texas.

Sabine Showdown sets $15,000 payout The waters in Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana are going to be filled with money this September as the Lamar State College Port Arthur Sabine Showdown Fishing Tournament gets underway.

The tournament, sponsored

by Golden Pass LNG and Motiva, will feature $15,000 in payouts in three categories: heaviest redfish stringer, heaviest flounder stringer, and heaviest trout stringer.

"The support for this tournament has been incredible," said Scott Street, LSCPA Director of Athletics and tournament director. "The area petrochemical industry and their partners, especially, have been all-in from the time we announced our plans to host this tournament."

The event will take place September 14 starting at 7 a.m. with weigh-in from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Carl Parker Multipurpose Center on the campus of

Lamar State College Port Arthur, 1800 Lakeshore Drive, Port Arthur.

Proceeds from the tournament will be used to provide scholarships, purchase and maintain training equipment, and other campus needs at LSCPA. Anglers can fish in any public waters in teams of one or two people. Entry is open until September 6 at 5 p.m. online at www.lamarpa.edu/fish.

"We're taking an approach to this tournament that allows pretty much anyone who wants to participate the opportunity to do so," Street said. "You can wade fish, fish from the bank, or go out in a boat to catch the winning stringer. And the prize money is really enticing."

Payout for each of the three stringer categories is $1,500 for first place, $1,250 for second, $1,000 for third, $500 for fourth and $250 for fifth place.

Adding side pots, the total payout is about $15,000.

Sponsorships for the tournament are still available at varying levels with individual team entries open at $250 each. Each team receives two complimentary tickets to the Friday, September 13, Captain's Dinner, which will also be held at the Carl Parker Center starting at 5:30 p.m. During that time, there will be door prizes, a silent auction, side pot purchases and an open bar.

Other sponsors for the event include Bechtel, Trinity Industries, Valero Energy Foundation, SpawGlass, Flint Hills Resources, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, and Port Arthur LNG. Sponsorships or individual team entries, as well as additional Captain's Dinner tickets, can be purchased by calling 409-984-6291 or by visiting the tournament website at www.lamarpa.edu/fish. Complete rules are also available at the tournament website.

Five steps to take five years away from retiring

Retirees are redefining what it means to be retired. If you’re within five years of retirement, here are steps to take now to help attain the lifestyle you want in the future.

Start a new career. Launch a business. Volunteer. ink it’s a young person’s wish list? ink again.

In fact, these are some of the activities baby boomers see themselves pursuing as they head into retirement, according to American Funds’ Wisdom of Experience survey. Investors age 50 and above who participated in the study are generally optimistic and excited about their next chapter and expect to lead an active lifestyle.

As Americans live longer and healthier lives, they’re redefining what it means to be retired.

Deena Katz, an associate professor of personal financial planning at Texas Tech University and co-chairman of Evensky & Katz/Foldes Financial Wealth Management, doesn’t even like to use the word “retirement”; she prefers “next phase.”

“Retirement conjures up images of people sitting on a porch,” Katz said. “at’s not true today.”

Before you start this “next phase,” it’s important to make sure you’re emotionally and financially prepared. e steps you take today could have a profound impact on the kind of life you have down the road. If you expect to retire within the next five years, consider the following pre-retirement checklist.

1. Step back and daydream ink about the kind of life you want down the road. Do you see yourself living near your children? Do you want to go back to school? Is travel a priority? “ink about how you will fill your time,” said John Grable, a professor of financial planning at the University of Georgia. For example, you might be excited about the opportunity to golf, “but is it enough to keep you mentally and physically engaged for the next 30 years?”

“Get a piece of paper and draw what you would like to do in the next 10 years and in the next 20 years,” Katz recommended. “One of my clients, a pharmaceuticals CEO, became a high school science teacher. e ideas are limitless.”

2. Run the numbers Once you have your goals in mind, map out your projected retirement budget.

Start by listing your basic living expenses, such as housing costs, insurance and taxes. Factor in any additional costs that could arise over time, like potential long-term care expenses. Finally, add in the costs of discretionary ventures you want to pursue to enrich your retirement years.

Remember, some of your current expenditures, such as the annual amounts you’ve been setting aside for your retirement, or commuting costs, might go down in retirement. Others expenses, like travel and entertainment, could go up.

With your projected budget mapped out, it’s time to see whether your assets and estimated retirement income will be enough to cover your anticipated costs. ese calculations should take into account the effect inflation will have on the future purchasing power of your retirement savings.

You might want to speak with a financial planner who can run the numbers and help make sure you’re on track.

A good rule of thumb: Many experts predict that you’ll need about 70% to 85% of your pre-retirement income to maintain your current lifestyle in retirement. Social Security typically replaces about 40% of the average person’s income.

Ask yourself, “Is that nest egg going to be enough to fund the activities you want to do?”

Grable said. If not, you might want to adjust your financial plan, whether that means working longer or delaying your Social Security benefits.

3. Save more Statistics show that many workers simply haven’t saved up enough for retirement.

Not having enough money for retirement was the top concern for Americans in a recent Gallup poll. Only half of pre-retirees in American Funds’ Wisdom of Experience survey expect to have more retirement income than their parents.

Healthy, appealing school lunches

By Sandra Arevalo For e Record As a mom and registered dietitian, I often ask myself: "What can I pack for my daughter's lunch?" From kindergarten to now middle school, her taste and interests have changed, and these changes also apply to her food choices. For that reason, it's important as parents to select foods for each stage, making sure we're catering to our kids' interests and nutritional needs. I feel defeated when her packed lunch is returned home untouched. is can happen for a variety of reasons, but most times it's when the food around the kids – though perhaps not the healthiest – is more attractive and might taste better than their packed lunch.

How do you make sure your kids prefer their lunch? Here are nine tips to help you prepare healthy and attractive lunches this school year.

Talk to your kids about the foods they prefer, including consistencies and flavors.

Younger children might prefer foods that are soft and brighter in color. As they grow older, they might prefer crunchier consistencies, more flavor and

less vibrant colors. Use some of their favorites in different recipes.

Ask what their peers are bringing. If they aren't the best choices, talk about why, and look for healthier alternatives.

For example, if your kids like chips, talk about switching to sweet potato baked chips or veggie sticks.

Take your kids to the supermarket with you and read labels together. Look for foods that are lower in sugar, sodium and fat, and rich in vitamins and minerals. Let them choose their favorite fruits and vegetables, and encourage them to pick some new choices to try.

Balance snacks and meals. e best lunches and snacks have foods from at least three food groups: fruits and vegetables, lean protein and whole grains. When you combine these foods, your kids will get energy, protein, dietary fiber and a variety of vitamins and minerals.

Keep portions small. Teach your kids to eat what's enough to be satisfied, not full. Teach that satisfied means they're no longer hungry, while full is an uncomfortable feeling and an indication that they've eaten too

much already.

Look for kid-friendly recipes and cook together. ey will be more interested in tasting the food when it's the result of their own work.

Make it fun and tasty. Visual appearance and taste of food are equally important. Try to create different shapes, like curly carrot ribbons or half a moon sandwiches.

Prevent food-borne illnesses by making sure the food is stored at the right temperature.

Cold foods should be kept cold and warm foods warm. Remind your kids to wash their hands before every meal.

Encourage kids to be different. Inspire your children to feel proud of their healthy food and their food choices. And why not – proud of a mom who cares!

Making healthy lunches doesn't have to be difficult. Exercise the best of your creativity with new ingredients, recipes, shapes and colors. Aim to give your food good looks and flavor.

Make sure you include protein, fruits and/or vegetables and whole grains each time. But most of all, don't forget that in all you do, the most important ingredient is always already there: your love.

Handling school anxiety As the summer winds down, kids often get both excited and nervous about returning to school. Many students eagerly anticipate seeing friends, sharing stories and going back-toschool shopping. But others experience growing worries as the first day approaches.

Whenever there is change, anxiety is natural.

While it can be hard to see your child on edge, it's important for parents to understand that anxiety is an inevitable part of life. In fact, if one does not feel occasional moodiness, there may be a bigger problem than situational stress, like depression.

It's common for kids to start each semester with some apprehension. Many worry about who will be their teacher, who will be in their class and who will sit next to them. Others wonder if they are good enough to make the team, smart enough to get good grades and cool enough to be accepted. Seemingly minor things can be a big deal to an angst-ridden adolescent.

One of the most important things a parent can do is listen to their child’s thoughts. Mom and Dad often want to offer solutions; but, in many cases, all your son or daughter wants is to feel validated. Empathy can go a long way toward helping a student overcome beginning-ofschool jitters. e start of a new school year has also been known to make kids more moody or irritable. ese elevated emotions are often the result of newly imposed academic structure. Parents should make an extra effort to ease children away from the lazy days of summer and back into academic schedules, like adjusting bedtimes so that kids get ample sleep before the bell

rings.

During the first few weeks of the new academic year, it's common for both students and parents to feel off balance. As a family, commit to staying organized. Purchase a wall calendar and hang it in a visible location. Parents should record important dates such as parent-teacher conferences, doctors’ appointments and late school starts. Students should write in big games, exam days and major assignment due dates.

Families can proactively avoid chaos when everyone is aware of their schedule. Upfront conversations about how to manage homework, school activities and free time can further minimize organizational concerns. Many kids want to do it all, causing stress as one struggles to meet classroom demands and after-school requirements. Others prefer to disengage often, resulting in an unmotivated and lethargic student.

Parents should establish realistic grade expectations and encourage their child to participate in at least one activity, while ensuring their kids aren't overextended and seeking the right work-life balance for themselves.

Last, engage in some retail therapy to enhance your student’s mood during this stressful time of the year. Most kids enjoy buying new things, so purge the closet and head to the mall.

In addition to the standard purchases of new clothes and school supplies, make sure to buy some things that will brighten up the home study area. It is the rare student that gets excited about doing math problems, but a spruced-up homework space may be just the motivation your child needs to crack the books.

Then and now: The Backstreet Boys were a big deal in the 1990s adn now, decades later, they’re just as hot as ever. The Boys will be in concert on August 31 at the Toyota Center in Houston then on September 3 at the Cajundome in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Retire

It’s never too late to try to boost your retirement savings.

Workers over the age of 50 can take advantage of catch-up provisions that allow them to save more in retirement accounts.

Diane Oakley, executive director of the National Institute on Retirement Security, recommends cutting 10% from your household budget and putting those dollars into savings.

“Practice living on less by saving more,” Oakley said.

4. Review your asset allocation e mix of assets you have today may no longer be appropriate as you head towards retirement.

“In the next phase, you’re going to be living off of your resources,” Katz said, rather than a steady paycheck.

From Page 4B at means you’ll likely want to adjust your asset allocation to lower your portfolio risk. To preserve capital, consider moving some money out of stock funds and into bond funds and cash equivalents.

While the opportunities for growth in your portfolio could be lowered, you might sleep better knowing your retirement dollars are in more stable investments.

5. Weigh your Social Security options A key decision everyone has to make as he or she approaches retirement is when to claim Social Security benefits.

You can start drawing your retirement benefits at any point from age 62 up to age 70, but your benefits will be higher the longer you delay starting.

Loving Your Neighbor - Getting Rare

Charles Empey

CHARLES EMPEY Guest Columnist For The Record Jesus said “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” As for the majority of the world, He said it would come to “wars and rumors of wars,” race will rise against race,” “authorities will rise against authorities”, “starvation (we can relate this to the millions of homeless in our country alone), “pestilences” () “earthquakes everywhere,” “many shall be offended, and shall betray one another…and hate one another,”and be cause iniquity shall abound, the love of many call wax cold.”

(Matt. 24:6-12) Paul was inspired of God to write in 2Tim.

3 that “men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous (always wanting more and what others have), boasters (braggers), proud (no humility, selfcentered) blasphemers (no respect for authority, especially God) disobedient to parents (the destruction of family) unthankful, unholy (living in sin without conscience), without natural affection (putting affection where God commands it not to be) truce breakers (again a society that can’t trust each other) heady, high-minded, lovers or pleasure more than lovers of God (God and church and holy living no longer the priority, but pleasing self, doing what feels good even if it is not right

Ministry Opportunity . . .

If you are looking for a church home and want to gather up heavenly rewards to honor Christ, why don’t you consider being a part of the building up of a church?

with God), ever leaning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (Pushing education but missing the one truth that keeps life pure and right, the Bible).

So, in a world that has gone crazy, something Jesus told us would happen just before He returns and the end of the world be near, loving each other at times seems a rarity, especially the hard to love ones. Love your neighbor now comes with conditions or is something of the past in the distrust and the selffirst society we have become.

Worse, it is not getting better year by year.

Going back to what Jesus said in John 13:35, He said, “By this

shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” This helps us understand what is happening as we rush toward the end of the world first as we once knew it to the end of its existence. God ran out of patience with mankind in Noah’s day and said He would again, but not judge by a flood of all the earth, but of fire (Revelation 20).

Here’s my point…we have come to either a self-righteous religion or a totally reprobate society. Jesus says in John 13 that when you do find a difference where people are loving one another, and loving his neighbor unconditionally (the only love Jesus knows), these are truly Jesus disciples, a people who have truly been born again in Christ Jesus, having now the Holy Spirit of comfort and promotion of Jesus’ love in them.

It doesn’t hurt to examine your soul often and if your outward attitude toward others is not what Jesus describes as His unconditional love unto others, you may be a member of the lost world instead of the disciples (family) of God. Charles Empey is the Pastor of Cove Baptist Church, Orange, TX.

5 Ways to Set Up the Perfect Workstation

(StatePoint) Before the school year kicks into high gear, it’s important to give yourself the tools needed for academic success and maximum organization.

Here are five ideas to set up the perfect workstation: 1. Clear up clutter. First, determine how you use items. If paperwork is referenced multiple times a week, store it on your desk in a file tray or upright sorter. If you use these items more rarely, you can store them in a drawer using a hanging filing system. Likewise, keep the tools you use most -- pens, pencils, calculator, on your desk. A compartmental caddy is a tidy way to

store such items of varying sizes.

2. Give it some life. Plants can help liven up a work atmosphere, bringing vitality to the space.

Improving indoor air quality and being associated with mental health benefits, houseplants are more than just beautiful. And introducing them to a workstation may just help boost productivity during long study sessions.

3. Visualize it. Great for prepping school presentations or easily viewing documents, a projector is a great addition to a student’s workstation.

Those in the Casio LampFree lineup feature highbrightness, are low-maintenance and have a lifetime of up to 20,000 hours, making them a good choice for students.

4. Write it down. No workstation is complete without a handy notebook, kept close by. Whether it’s making to-do lists, jotting down quick thoughts or taking notes, this is a must-have item, even in today’s digital world.

5. Add it up. A basic desktop calculator is essential to any student’s workstation. Those from Casio feature 12 digits, and run on both battery and solar power so you can work anywhere, and with independent memory, you can easily take breaks from tasks and return to them later.

6. The right light. If possible, set up workstations near sources of natural light for a mood and focus boost. For nighttime study sessions and for those without windows, high-quality task lighting is critical. Versatility is key, so look for a desk lamp with an adjustable neck as well as dimming capabilities. For space-savers, check out desk lamps pulling double-duty -- many of today’s models feature USB charging ports at their base.
