Earlier, commissioners took the first step toward what Gothia said was a plan

to give all county employees a 2% raise.

They did it by voting 4-1 to advertise plans for a 2% raise for all county elected officials – with Precinct 4 Com-

missioner Robert Viator voting “nay.”

They voted 5-0 to propose a 2% raise for County Auditor Pennee Schmitt, who reports to the county’s state

district judges.

Orange County Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to establish a 1,600acre Reinvestment Zone that might one day be home to

one of the world’s largest chemical plants.

Dow Chemical, the new kid in town, continues to bring its own housewarming gifts to the city of Orange.

At Tuesday night’s City Council meeting, the company now operating the 70-year-old DuPont plant announced a $20,000 grant to put on a series of downtown concerts in October.

“I just love Orange. I like what’s going on here,” Stacey Gautreau, public affairs director, said.

She said a pair of free concerts titled “Together Thursdays” had been tentatively scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 10 and Thursday, Oct. 24 at the Riverfront Boardwalk

and Pavilion in downtown Orange.

Details will be available in September, she said.

“This is a family-friendly concert series. Bring your lawn chairs and have fun,” Gautreau said. “We believe this is a great way to celebrate the diversity of our community and also, music is always a great way to come together.”

Orange Mayor Larry Spears, Jr., is a health and safety manager at Dow Chemical, who began years ago with DuPont.

“Dow also donated $50,000 to our local Little League organizations,” Spears pointed out, “and now they’ve re-

Retirement adds up for math teacher Susan Kazmar Dave Rogers

For The Record

She was born in the Show Me state but for more than 40 years Susan Kazmar showed her math skills to Orange school students.

“I was always good at math,” said the veteran of 45 years in classrooms from Columbia, Missouri to Orangefield.

“It’s where I made my very best grades.”

Kazmar’s love for and skills for teaching math made her one of Orange County’s top teachers for more than four decades.

But she says she’s retired for good this time.

“I really am through,” she said in an interview Monday, a couple of days before class-

es began in West OrangeCove schools, where she did most of her teaching.

“None of my friends believe Kazmar me. My doctors don’t believe me. But I am.”

When Kazmar thinks back on her teaching career, one of the things she remembers most is tutoring Earl Thomas for a second try at the SAT test.

“He would come to my office once a day or maybe more,” she said.

Thomas, best known

around here as a former Mustang All-Stater, an AllAmerican football player at the University of Texas and an All-Pro NFL safety, did so well after working with Kazmar, “they wouldn’t take it,” she said of the College Board.

But Kazmar’s appeal to the SAT people worked. Thomas was on to college.

And he didn’t forget the help she’d provided.

“His mother called and invited me to his 21st birthday party,” Kazmar said. “We’ve stayed in touch.”

Texas Safety Commission discusses guns, terrorism, social media Patrick Svitek The Texas Tribune

Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday convened the first meeting of the newly formed Texas Safety Commission, ramping up the state’s efforts to devise policy solutions in the wake of the deadly shooting targeting immigrants and Hispanics earlier this month in El Paso.

For over four hours, the commission — which includes state leaders, lawmakers and law enforcement officials — met behind closed doors at the Capitol in what Abbott described as the “next step to make sure that we respond robustly and rapidly to the” El Paso attack.

Speaking with reporters at the end of the meeting, Abbott rattled off a long list of items that were discussed — stronger threat assessment efforts, better collaboration between social media companies and law enforcement, strengthening the state’s domestic terrorism law. He also broached more politically sensitive issues related to guns, saying there was discussion surrounding red flag laws — or at least an alternative to them — background checks and assault weapons.

“I think the conversation went in a lot of different directions,” state Rep. Joe Moody, D-El Paso, told reporters after the meeting.

“Guns were discussed extensively — what we have under current law, what we can do under potential news laws. I think everything was on the table.”

“It was a very open and candid conversation and I’m certainly encouraged by the fact we’re trying to build consensus” around the issues, added Moody, the House speaker pro tem.

Twenty-two people were killed and more than two dozen wounded in the El Paso shooting, which took place Aug. 3 at a Walmart.

Authorities believe the gunman, who was arrested and charged with capital murder, published an anti-immigrant manifesto shortly before the massacre, railing against a “Hispanic invasion of Texas.”

Thursday was the first of two meetings that are planned for the safety commission, with the second one scheduled for next Thursday in El Paso. The meetings are similar to a series of roundtables that Abbott held in the wake of the 2018 Santa Fe High School shooting, and he presented a stack of papers to reporters Thursday to illustrate how many proposals came out of those roundtables that he signed into law.

Like he did after the Santa Fe roundtables, Abbott plans to issue a report with recommendations following the post-El Paso meetings. The governor, who has resisted pleas by some House Democrats to call a special session after El Paso, said the commission will focus on “ideas and suggestions that can lead to laws” but emphasized the state can take more immediate action without legislation.

“The levers that are available to the executive branch agencies and to the governor’s office are almost unlimited in our ability to take action swiftly,” Abbott said.

Abbott has also assembled a Domestic Terrorism Task Force in the wake of the El Paso attack, and its first meeting is slated for Aug. 30.

The El Paso delegation to the Legislature — all Democrats — left the first safety commission meeting pleased with what they described as a discussion where nothing was ruled out and everyone was intent on consensus.

Asked where the biggest area of agreement was, Rep. César Blanco said it was that “this was a white nationalist crime inflicted on our community” and there need to be new laws targeting domestic terrorism.

Rep. Lina Ortega said one of the reasons she felt “extremely hopeful” after the meeting was that Republican leaders appeared newly open to gun-related proposals, particularly when it comes to background checks. Abbott said the commission talked about closing gaps in current background check laws as well as extending them to certain transactions that do not currently require a background check.

“Obviously right now it’s

just talking about ideas, and I think that as a result of the open conversation that it could lead to new laws that will help on performing more background checks,” Ortega said. “Because of what happened, I think that the lieutenant governor, the governor, state leadership, is seriously looking at the problems that currently exist and making changes in the laws.”

Participants agreed that assault weapons posed a thornier issue. Abbott said they were discussed but that it is “fair to say there was no coalescence” on a solution.

Still, he called assault weapons an issue that will remain under discussion.

On red flag laws, which let judges temporarily seize someone’s guns if they are deemed an imminent threat, Abbott suggested the conversation focused more on whether such concerns — like those that the El Paso gunman’s mother raised — could lead to a welfare check.

The governor also said the commission talked about strengthening existing law in Texas surrounding emergency protection orders.

Red flag laws proved politically perilous for Abbott after the Santa Fe shooting, when he asked lawmakers to study them but backed away once it became clear there was significant opposition on the right.

Before the safety commission meeting, Gun Owners of America, a hardline gun rights group, held a news conference outside the Capitol warning the commission against pursuing any proposals that would infringe on the Second Amendment.

One of the speakers was Stephen Willeford, the hero in the 2017 Sutherland Springs church shooting.

“Gun owners are done,” Willeford said, clutching the AR-15 semi-automatic rifle he used to take down the church gunman. “We don’t want any more restriction. It does not stop the bad guys.”

On the other end of the political spectrum, Democrats have been pressuring Abbott to do more than he has suggested so far to combat the forces that led to the El Paso massacre.

“Texans deserve a lot more than just talk,” Manny Garcia, executive director of the Texas Democratic Party, said in a statement on the safety commission’s first meeting.

“Texans expect actions and solutions to curb racism, white supremacy, and gun violence in our state and in our country. The eyes of the world are on us.”

The party pointed to an Abbott fundraising letter, which surfaced Thursday morning, that was dated the day before the El Paso shooting and used alarmist language to emphasize the need to “DEFEND” the Texas border. Asked if that kind of incendiary rhetoric came up in the meeting, the El Paso lawmakers said there was discussion — including a “very poignant moment,” according to Rep. Joe Moody —

about the language everyone uses going forward.

“We didn’t talk about what’s happened in the past,” Blanco said. “We’re really focusing on what we’re going to do moving forward, and I think in that room, there’s a clear understanding that we need to take action together and anything that happened in the past in terms of politics or this legislative body — today we’re moving forward.”

• The Record • Week of Wednesday, August 28, 2019

County business its Economic Development Corporation to offer a tax abatement to entice an $8 billion joint investment by Chevron Phillips Chemical and Qatar Petroleum.

It’s the latest step taken since January, when CPC announced Orange County was one of several locations being considered for a new plant.

First, the company approached the West OrangeCove and Bridge City school districts and won agreements to limit their future tax appraisals in exchange for other considerations.

Then it convinced the City of Orange to disannex more than 400 acres on the northwest and southwest ends of its new land to put all its property between into Orange County’s unincorporated boundaries.

Then it asked for a Reinvestment Zone.

Community leaders say the “U.S. Gulf Coast II Petroleum Project,” as it was named in a July news release announcing CPC’s partnership with the official oil company of Qatar, could bring more money to Orange County than all the current industrial plants in the county combined.

As many as 9,000 construction jobs would be available, as well as 600 fulltime jobs after construction is finished.

But no decision is expected on a go-ahead for the plant, at any location, for another 18 months, despite the smiles going around the commissioners’ courtroom Tuesday.

“This is the first step in making this property available if we get the project,” Commissioner Johnny Trahan said during a morning public hearing on the Reinvestment Zone Tuesday.

The county leaders began a schedule of three public meetings early Tuesday, with Jessica Hill, director of the Orange County EDC, providing some answers to public questions about the Reinvestment Zone.

Only two people asked questions in a 15-minute meeting.

Patti Smith Barras was concerned about possible pollution.

“I live less than a mile away from this particular property and I have concerns about the location,” she said.

She mentioned the possibility of flooding, then went heavy on the air quality questions.

Gothia, Hill and audience member Carl LeBlanc, a retired chemical plant worker, talked pollution controls.

“The Southeast Texas Regional Planning Commission works hand in hand with the state of Texas doing quarterly monitoring,” Gothia said.

“Just over the past 10 years, they have reduced emissions in Southeast Texas over 60%.”

Barras asked for more readily available information regarding the proposed plant.

“If you put it on the computer, so many senior citizens don’t have access,” she said. “We need more transparency and we need more information before any decision is made.”

Gothia reiterated that creating a Reinvestment Zone was just a preliminary step.

He said there were many more – and much information to come – before any abatement decision is made.

Tuesday afternoon, the commissioners found themselves in the uncomfortable spot, for the second time in three years, of putting their

Dow concert series turned to donate another $20,000 to give all the families something to do throughout the month of October.

“I’m proud not only to serve as they mayor, but to also be a Dow employee. One of the things I’ve seen that I want to publicly recognize is that Dow has given more local people a chance and opportunity for jobs than I have seen in a long time.”

A bit of bad news came out of Tuesday’s city meetings.

The much-anticipated construction of Jake Lemoine’s Boardwalk Grille restaurant on the riverfront has been delayed.

The city’s Economic Development Corporation agreed to extend the groundbreaking deadline for the $1 million investment from Sept. 1 to March 1, 2020.

It was the second extension granted by the EDC, which last year agreed to offer a $200,000 incentive to Lemoine for infrastructure improvements.

“They need more time to finalize the financial portfo-

names on a proposal for a pay raise for themselves ahead of their employees.

It’s a formality required by state law. A proposed raise for the county’s 18 elected officials must be published for 10 days prior to a final vote.

Gothia said he wants to include a 2% cost of living raise for all of Orange County’s employees in the 2020 fiscal year budget, which will be finalized in September.

In 2017, commissioners – including Gothia and Trahan -- voted 4-1 for the first raised for elected officials in nine years. Those averaged 13.5% per person, maxing out at 23.6 for the county clerk, treasurer and tax assessor-collector. The county judge pay was raised 22.9 percent to $105,040 per year and the commissioners’ base pay went up 15.3 percent, to $72,800.

The 2% raise would put Gothia’s salary as commissioner up to $107,140, with Sheriff Keith Merritt at $106,080 and set commissioners’ base pay at $74,256.

Schmitt, the auditor, would make $94,156 with the pay hike.

A second public hearing on the proposed county tax rate for 2019 was held just before Tuesday’s regular commissioners’ court meeting.

The tax rate may go lower but cannot go higher than 54.2 cents per $100 property value, a decision commissioners made Aug. 6. The 54.2 cents rate is the same rate the county has adopted each of the past two years.

After only one taxpayer spoke at Friday’s first tax rate hearing which was over in nine minutes, two came forward Tuesday in a 15-minute meeting.

she and her husband Joe visiting with Thomas after a 2014 game in Seattle, a trip Thomas arranged.

But just as quickly, Kazmar pulls out a shoebox full of home made thank-you cards from former students and their families.

One she shows is from a grandmother that had two generations taught by Kazmar.

“I had some good kids all along,” she said. “And I didn’t always teach honors classes.”

As a teen in Marshall, Missouri, Kazmar says she took algebra 2, trigonometry and analytic geometry in high school at Marshall, Missouri, before enrolling at the University of Missouri.

“I took math all four years of high school,” she said, “be-

cause I had a very good teacher – a woman named Estes Crutcher.

“We all called her ‘Granny Crutcher.’ She was amazing,” Kazmar said.

Amazing was Kazmar’s ability to teach. When tasked with a group of remedial students, she used “math blocks” to teach the concepts.

She taught for more than a quarter of a century for Orange schools, then retired from teaching for the first time in 2002.

Then she took a year off and taught another decade or so in Orange – five years as “math coach” – then another five or so in Orangefield and back to finish up last year at WO-S. She taught three pre-AP

Algebra and pre-calculus classes last year.

After starting as a junior high teacher in Grandview, Missouri, she moved to teach geometry during years 2 and 3 at Columbia’s Hickman High School.

“It was one of the top high schools in the nation,” Kazmar recalls. “It was a great school.”

She moved with her first husband to Orange in 1966 and was a stay-at-home mom for about a decade.

She went back to the classroom at Stark High School in 1976, a year before the merger between Stark and West Orange.

She married her husband of 42 years, Joe, in 1977.

City council voted unanimously to appoint Mike Kunst as the new city manager for Orange. Two weeks earlier, they named Kunst, current Vidor city manager, as their lone finalist.

Kunst is not expected to take full control until the start of the new budget year, which isn’t until October.

The city held its first of two required tax rate public hearings as part of Tuesday’s agenda and no one stepped forward to speak for or against a proposed rate of 80.69 cents per $100 property value.

A second public hearing on the tax rate is set for 9 a.m.

Sept. 10, with a final council vote on the rate taking place at the 5:30 p.m. Sept. 24 city council meeting.

City council also accepted a budget for the EDC for the fiscal year 2020.

The budget included $2.5 million in expenses for EDC projects – including the

3A

Boardwalk Grille – and $59,000 to pay half the salary for a new city position, event manager-assistant EDC director.

Most of the anticipated revenues of $1.7 million come from the EDC’s sales tax revenue. The difference is to be paid from the EDC’s fund balance of $3.6 million.

Council members also appointed Mike Hennigan and re-appointed Weldon Smith, George Mortimer and Gordon Worlow to the city’s planning and zoning commission.

From The Creaux’s Nest FOOD AND FELLOWSHIP GOOD FOLKS CONGREGATE The Wednesday Lunch Bunch is in constant change.

The attendees change from week to week. There are a few who tend to be regulars but many more are drop-ins when they can make the time to come. That’s what makes it interesting. Everyone always seems so glad to see each other.

This week, The Lunch Bunch will dine at Robert’s and also the following week, Sept. 4. A special gathering is planned so mark your calendars. Last week, the group dined at “Southern Charm.” The name is misleading. You would think about finger food and coffee served in a demitasse. Nothing could be further from the truth. “Southern Charm” is a full scale restaurant with a full menu of fine food. The shrimp gumbo is as good as there is. I also found the fried shrimp large and fried to perfection. Everyone ate something different and complimented the food. John Roy bragged on the “Chicken Charm” dish. Ms. Hamilton’s famous rolls are served with every meal. The service is good and the servers are pretty. John Roy sang a beautiful love song to a green eyed beauty. Also working there is one of Lucy and Rene Hanks’ pretty daughters who once was Judge Peck’s sister-in-law. We strongly recommend this eating establishment. If you haven’t tried “Southern Charm” you are missing a treat. Prices are very reasonable. Give them a try; tell them you read about them in “The Record.” They’ll treat you like family. For lunch or dinner they’re a good bet. *****Well, I’ve got to get on down the road. Hop on board and come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm.

THE STRANGE TWIST OF FATE

For most of my life I’ve shared friendships with many Justice of the Peace office holders and I’ve heard many of the stories that JP’s face at tragedies when they’re called to the scene to hold an inquest. Longtime JP Claude Wimberly said he had attended so many tragedies that he could fill a book with stories. Judge Derry Dunn said the worse was when multiple small children were killed when just a minute earlier they had been happy travelers. Judge Flo, Judge Janice, Judge Joe, Judge Rodney and all the others had witnessed heart breaking tragedies that followed them through life. I state the above to bring focus to the work that on any day a Justice of the Peace might face. I’ve found that citizens don’t fully appreciate a JP’s work load.

Most associate the Justice of the Peace office as a place to pay traffic fines or to file to have someone evicted or other disputes. No one thinks about the Judge being called out in the middle of the night for an accident or suicide. Like all peace officers they never know what a day might bring.

Friday was a great day for Harley Morgan and wife Rhiannon, 19 and 20 year old high school sweethearts, who had set their wedding date for the afternoon of August 23. Judge Joy Dubose Simonton preformed the wedding ceremony in her JP court room with parents and friends of the bride and groom in attendance. After the ceremony the Judge was thanked, there were plenty hugs and kisses as the merrymakers congratulated the young couple and wished them a long, happy life and kidded about not too many children. A few minutes later, as the couple pulled on to Highway 87, and while the family watched, the newlyweds were struck and killed. The laughter turned to tears at the horrible scene. I have known Judge Simonton throughout her life. She’s a mother with a son a little older than the couple and a daughter a few years younger.

She had witnessed tragedy in her own life. She was bound to her professional duty. I’m told she was strong and handled the inquest and pronounced the young couple she had just married, deceased, in a very professional manner. She might have wept in private later but on this sad day, she did the job she was called to do. It was just part of the oath she had taken as a Justice. I visited with Joy’s father John Dubose Saturday, he was proud of the way she had handled herself professionally. So am I. It’s not always an easy job.

This tragedy will live with Joy through the years. Ironically, she and Robert had just celebrated their own anniversary on Wednesday. I hope maybe I’ve helped you see the Justice of the Peace work load in a different light. Our condolences to the family and friends of Harley and Rhiannon. Their funeral service will be Friday in Vidor. It’s not often in life that the one who declares you man and wife will also pronounce your death.

TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME 10 Years Ago-2009 “An American Story”

For 47 years, longer than any of his three brothers lived, Edward M. “Teddy” Kennedy worked ceaselessly for the poor, the disenfranchised and those forgotten and without a voice. Teddy and his brothers, Jack and Bobby, were born into a family that had great wealth and privilege. What I’ve always thought was uncommon and special about the Kennedy’s is that they could easily have given into selfishness and self indulgence. They could have spent their lives devoted only to increasing their wealth. Instead they devoted their lives to their country and to improving the lives of average, hardworking people.

Often wealthy members of the Senate and those in government use their positions to ensure that the wealthy and powerful get even more wealth and power. Ted Kennedy wrote more than 300 bills supporting fairness at work, higher wages, equal right for women and others and in-

creased access to health care. He came from an era of politics that is completely gone. Today, politics and service is not about people, it’s mostly about power and how to manipulate the system with mean spirited name calling and controlling by fear. Very different than the relationship shared by Ted and his colleagues across the aisle. The senators on the Republican side and Sen. Kennedy had a lot to disagree about but their arguments were never mean spirited. They had each other’s respect and worked forcefully to pass their agendas and remained friends. Despite the Kennedy family’s imperfections, that many have not forgiven, I’ve lived to see their tragedies and sacrifices all for the good of those who they believed were vulnerable. Ted had deep faith and often admitted that he was a flawed individual. In a dying letter to the Pope, he admitted his imperfections. Sen. Edward Kennedy, age 77, died Aug. 25, 2009. Services, on Aug. 29, 2009. Were viewed by millions and attended by three former presidents and eulogized by President Barack Obama. Friends from both parties spoke of this man of the people. He wore his liberal tag as a badge of honor. An era has passed; the last of the most dynamic political family has passed.

From the tragic deaths throughout the family to Ted’s brain cancer death, the Kennedy’s wrote a history that will never be duplicated. They devoted their lives to all the right reasons. For the first time in 50 years there won’t be a Kennedy in the Senate unless it’s Joe. *****Happy 55th anniversary to a special couple Pauline and Judge Claude Wimberley were married Sept. 4, 1954. Ms. Pauline has always been such a beautiful lady and Claude has done to ride the range with. *****Tony and Karen Fusilier celebrated their 20th anniversary Tuesday, Sept. 1. *****Happy birthday to Gerald Leleux, this guy’s bound to be headed for heaven.

A FEW HAPPENINGS

Tuesday morning I had a visit from 3-year-old Sterling Welch, who was headed to his first day at Pre-K. A handsome youngster with well groomed blond hair and big blue eyes. He was quite a sight in his new outfit. His dad, Phillip agrees he looks like his beautiful mother.*****A few friends celebrating in the next few days. This week, on Aug. 28, a special guy, J.S., turns 15 years old. It seems not that long ago when his dad Jim Sharon celebrated his 15th.. J.S. is Jim Sharon Bearden III. His granddad, Attorney Jim Sharon Bearden is the original J.S.B. and he’s extremely proud of his namesake. Happy birthday J.S.*** On Aug. 29, 2005, Katrina came ashore in New Orleans.***Our friend Glenda Dyer celebrates on Aug. 29. Also celebrating on this day is Janice Overman.***A great guy, Mike Cedars celebrates his birthday Aug. 30.***Happy 50 th Anniversary to Rosalie and Judge Pat Clark on Aug. 31. Pat says, “The most important day of my life is when she said I do.” On the same day, at the same time, Rosalie’s twin sister, the late Mary Ann and John Scofield were wed in a double ceremony.***On Sept. 2, in 2004, Roy lost both his mom and friend Parker “PT” Thompson. Fifteen years have gone by.*** Happy Birthday, Sept. 3, to former mayor T.W. Prementer.*****We got to have a good visit with Mike and Nancy Hatton at the H.D. Pate memorial last Saturday. It’s hard to believe Mike has been in the banking business for Uncle Walter 26 years already. A visit with Bobby Simon, former Bridge City police officer, who says the 12 years in Bridge City were good years. Thanks to the effort of H. D.’s wife, Pat, the memorial was very moving and seemed to be what was needed for his friends and family to have closure. We saw a lot of friends but were disappointed that some who should have been there were not.*****Joe Welsh, former congressman and Tea Party member who helped Trump get elected, has joined Bill Weld in the GOP race against Trump. They can both expect structural barriers that will make their challenge awfully difficult. In some states they won’t be able to get on the ballot. Walshis pretty sorry himself but he has the nerve of Bob Steele and will call Trump out for what he really is.

The problem is that every American, if they support him or not, knows Trump is unfit.*****Meanwhile here at home, County Judge John Gothia, who hasn’t had time yet to prove if he will be a good or bad judge is already being challenged. He’s been judge just over a month and it was a smooth transition.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK

A 9-11 call from a cell phone arrived at da sheriff’s office in Breaux Bridge. Da operator directed Alcid Fontonot, da paramedic, to take a boat to a home on an island in the Atchafalaya Basin for an emergency. All da power was off, da house was very dark wen he got dere. Fontonot axe little Camille, a tree-year-old girl, to hold his flashlight high over her mama so he could see while he helped deliver da baby. Camille did as she was axe. Her mom, Eunice, push and push. After a while, little Sostan was born. Fontonot lifted him by his little feets and spanked him on his bottom and he started to cry. Fontonot tanked Camille for her help and axe da wide eyed three-year-old wat she tink about wat she had jus witnessed. Camille, her, quickly responded, “He shouldn’t have crawled in dere in da first place.” “Smack him again.”

C’EST TOUT River Ridge, Louisiana Wins World Little League Title

Over the weekend I watched Little League championship baseball. Curacao beat Japan for the International World championship. River Ridge, a suburb of New Orleans, on Saturday beat Hawaii to win the United States Little League championship. Their bats were hot: they scored nine runs in the game. Sunday, only one world champion would survive. Louisiana would take on Curacao, the home team. Louisiana fought its way back through the loser’s bracket after dropping its very first game to Hawaii. Louisiana won six games in eight days becoming the first team to win the LLWS after losing its first game. Louisiana claimed its first Little League World Series title by defeating Curacao 8-0. A little 12-year-old, curly haired boy named Egan Prather pitched a two hit shutout, throwing 88 pitches over six innings. Over the tournament he picked up two victories and struck out 19 batters in 14 1/3 innings. The River Ridge boys had hot bats throughout the tournament. They were well coached and didn’t swing at bad balls. Some of those youngsters will be heard from in the future. Our own Joe Kazmar is a former Little League World Champion. *****My time is up.

Why having a financial professional matters

Pro provides important insight

Provided by Ian E. James, CRPC®, AAMS® President, Financial Advisor Capital Financial Group www.409Wealth.com 409-792-0179 What kind of role can a financial professional play for an investor? e answer: a very important one. While the value of such a relationship is hard to quantify, the intangible benefits may be significant and longlasting. ere are certain investors who turn to a financial professional with one goal in mind: the “alpha” objective of beating the market, quarter after quarter. Even Wall Street money managers fail at that task – and they fail routinely.

At some point, these investors realize that their financial professional has no control over what happens in the market. ey come to understand the real value of the relationship, which is about strategy, coaching, and understanding.

A good financial professional can help an investor interpret today’s financial climate, determine objectives, and assess progress toward those goals. Alone, an investor may be challenged to do any of this effectively.

Moreover, an uncoached investor may make self-defeating decisions. Today’s steady stream of instant information can

emoprompt tional behavior and blunders.

No investor is infallible.

Investors can feel that way during a great market year, when every decision seems to work out well.

Overconfidence can set in, and Ian E. the reality that James the market has occasional bad years can be forgotten. is is when irrational exuberance creeps in. A sudden Wall Street shock may lead an investor to sell low today, buy high tomorrow, and attempt to time the market.

Market timing may be a factor in the following divergence: according to investment research firm DALBAR, U.S. stocks gained 10% a year on average from 1988-2018, yet the average equity investor’s portfolio returned just 4.1% annually in that period.1 A good financial professional helps an investor commit to staying on track. rough subtle or overt coaching, the investor learns to take short-term ups and downs in stride and focus on the long term. A strategy is put in place, based on a defined investment pol-

icy and target asset allocations with an eye on major financial goals. e client’s best interest is paramount.

As the investor-professional relationship unfolds, the investor begins to notice the intangible ways the professional provides value. Insight and knowledge inform investment selection and portfolio construction. e professional explains the subtleties of investment classes and how potential risk often relates to potential reward.

Perhaps most importantly, the professional helps the client get past the “noise” and “buzz” of the financial markets to see what is really important to his or her financial life. e investor gains a new level of understanding, a context for all the investing and saving. e effort to build wealth and retire well is not merely focused on “success,” but also on significance. is is the value a financial professional brings to the table. You cannot quantify it in dollar terms, but you can certainly appreciate it over time.

DIBOLL over BRIDGE CITY e Cardinals have a good chance to start this season with an upset victory but are on the road to a team that reached the playoffs last season. I hope this pick is all wet.

FOR THE RECORD

Preseason exhibition football games are a necessary evil for the National Football League to function properly. Each year more and more of the high-dollar stars don’t even suit out for these lengthy encounters.

Other players like the running backs, wide receivers, linebackers and defensive secondary backs must play in these games to get into playing shape where they take licks just like in the regular season.

Starting quarterbacks and star defensive linemen can be seen in the first and possibly the second series of the exhibition games and that’s all. After that they become high-dollar cheerleaders for their teammates who are still on the field battling for their jobs.

And if a star player is really unlucky, he can get hit wrong or cut the wrong way and go down with an injury. This is never good and the more extensive the medical tests, the worst the long-term prognosis.

This is exactly what happened Saturday night to Houston Texans’ first-team running back Lamar Miller, who has been a

starter for nearly a decade with the Miami Dolphins and more recently, the Texans.

An MRI Sunday confirmed what everybody feared that Miller has a torn anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligament in his left knee and will undergo surgery to repair the damage and will be placed on injured reserve which will end his season before it even begins.

Monday’s edition of the Houston Chronicle said that Miller was injured Saturday night when he took a helmet and shoulder pad hit to the knee from Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Malick Collins, which was won handily by the Pokes 34-0.

Head Coach Bill O’Brien, who is an eternal optimist, said it was a tough thing to see. “I think our backfield situation with depth is actually decent, but it’s very difficult to lose a guy like Lamar for a lot of reasons.

“He’s a great pro. He’s and awesome guy in the locker room.

We’ll deal with it. We’ll overcome it, and we’ll keep plugging away,” he predicted.

The Indianapolis Colts’ franchise quarterback Andrew Luck startled the football world by announcing last weekend that he was retiring from the game at the tender age of 29.

After being elected to the Pro Bowl in his first three seasons, Luck battled chronic injuries that have bothered him since 2015.

He missed the 2017 season with a shoulder injury which wasn’t completely healed last season, but he played and led his

team to a 10-6 record and a playoff berth, compared to the 4-12 without him in 2017.

While he was rehabbing his shoulder to get ready for the 2019 season, Luck was struggling with a lower-leg injury this summer and announced his retirement on Saturday. He reportedly said he was “mentally worn down.”

Luck missed the Colts’ camp with what was initially described as a strained left calf, but perhaps was more serious than that.

“The Colts cited Kevin Durant’s torn Achilles as the reason for their extreme caution with him,” according to the Chronicle.

“Then Colts owner Jim Irsay described it as a ‘small bone’ injury, which eventually became an ankle problem. Luck’s departure leaves the Colts in a lurch, and is perhaps the highest-profile early retirement from football in decades,” the article added.

Ironically, the Colts were picked to win the AFC South by four of the Chronicle’s five football staffers in their football edition that hit the streets Sunday. The other one did pick Houston.

With both Houston and Indianapolis hurting for offense, it should cloud the AFC playoff picture immensely and throw the title to whichever team (Tennessee or Jacksonville) plays over its head.

KWICKIES…Congratulations to the Louisiana Little League team from River Ridge for winning the World Championship Sunday by blanking Curacao 8-0 at Williamsport, Pa. The team lost their first game and had to trudge their way through the loser’s bracket to make the finals.

Ironically, the manager and two coaches on the winning team had zero sons playing on the team, which is very unusual.

Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera says he expects injured quarterback Cam New-

ton to return to practice “pretty soon” without giving a timetable. Newton remains in a walking boot after sustaining a left mid-foot sprain in Carolina’s 10-3 loss to New England Thursday night. Rivera says Newton will be ready for the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Los Angeles Rams.

The games will be “for real” for high school and college football this weekend. Hopefully that predicted “cool front” will make watching the games tolerable. It was difficult to “Fearlessly Forecast” the winners for high school, but college was a bit easier because of so many “sacrificial lamb” games that will end up with very lop-sided scores.

Irishman Rory McIlroy cruised to a 66 Sunday and a four-stroke victory in the final round of the FedEx Cup Tour championship. The win was worth $15 million to McIlroy as he surged past Brooks Koepka and Xander Schauffele to win the richest payoff in golf.

JUST BETWEEN US…It’s fortunate the Houston Astros have a 9 ½-game lead over Oakland in the American League West Division with about five weeks to go in the season. They have been playing most of the games since the All-Star game with several players from the AAA Round Rock roster because of aggravating injuries that have beset key players on the disabled list. But the Astros top four starting pitchers are among the American League’s top 10 in winning record, earned run average and strikeouts. They are searching for a fifth starter, but are getting by just fine without one. And only two hitters in the starting nine are batting below .250, with six regulars batting .280 or higher.

Manager A.J. Hinch will have a pleasant task of selecting his 25-man playoff roster next month.

Trey Smith earns an ‘attaboy’ CAPT. DICKIE COLBURN FISHING WEEKLY FOR THE RECORD

Regardless of how old anything is, it is new the day you find out about it. In fishing it can be anything from a new way to tie a more efficient knot to the best technique for fooling fish following a cold front.

At least for now, any new information regarding fishing the day after a cold front is little more than wishful thinking!

Not that long ago, I was talking with one of our better local bass fishermen, Trey Smith, when he casually asked if I had done any good fishing a Ned Rig. It turned out that I was one of the few that had never even heard of the lure or the technique or whatever a Ned Rig might be, but by the end of our chat I realized I had fished a slightly modified version for years.

He said that he had given it a try a few days earlier and that it worked much better than he anticipated. Inland saltwater fishermen have benefitted from both freshwater techniques to bass lures for years, but in this case, it is just the opposite. Every saltwater angler that has ever threaded a

plastic tail on a jig head has fished a version of the Ned Rig. Finesse fishing has become very popular with tournament fishermen and in this instance, either a converted trout fisherman decided to chunk a trout lure at the bass or a desperate bass fisherman just decided to thread a four inch piece of a straight tail worm on a lead head and give it a try.

I don’t have to tell even the most novice trout fisherman how to rig or fish a jig head and grub, but to render it more bass-worthy, the Ned Rig requires a slight modification.

They actually offer a slightly off-set jig head which, in my opinion, helps keep the worm straight when rigged weedless.

According to Ned, or whomever named the technique, using a worm that will float upright when the lead head is on the bottom is the key. The fact that you are keeping it in contact with the bottom most of the time makes that minor alteration a little more appealing.

They do, in fact, offer an offset hook with a flatter head that makes rigging it much easier. So, here is what I have discovered after giving it a shot both in the bayous and on Toledo Bend. It works well enough to keep one tied on one of your rods and I would suggest fishing it on a seven foot medium spinning rod with a reel filled with 8 to 10 pound fluorocarbon or 12 pound braid.

When I use braid for this technique I also add a couple of feet of mono leader. The lure performs better because you can tie a loop knot and the mono is a little more invisible.

The head that is made exclusively for the rig generally weighs an eighth of an ounce and is much flatter than its saltwater counterpart.

Because I initially decided to give the technique a try following Trey’s recommendation, I used what I had available and it worked just fine. I filed the head a little flatter on a couple of conventional jig heads and later even bent the shank of the hook to make it easier to rig weedless. I don’t think bending the hook is a good idea, however, as it will break under the strain of an irate redfish.

I didn’t have a single plastic worm in the boat the day I elected to try a Ned Rig so I bit about four inches off of an Assassin Lil Tapper.I don’t know if it floated upright or not as everything immediately disappears in the dirty water we are fishing right now, but if it didn’t, the fish didn’t seem to care.

The only day that I have fished it in the bayous, I caught two nice flounder, several undersized reds and a kajillion small bass. The bite really picked up when I switched to a watermelon Lil’ John.

The one day I fished it on Toledo Bend it was pouring down rain and we never got too far from the camp. The water wasn’t as low as it is right now and I caught eleven bass between two and four pounds while my partner struck out on everything from a Wacky worm to a jerk bait.

The bass would hit it just about the time it cleared the outside edge of the moss.

Aside from the fact that Trey’s Ned Rig catches fish, the best news of all is that there is no need to throw away all of your used worms that are no longer suitable for Texas rigging. Save the last four inches and try the Ned Rig!

CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE OUTDOORS WEEKLY FOR THE RECORD

e sleek silhouette coasted over the tree line with that familiar darting flight pattern, the volley of shots only confirmed the obvious and the dove continued on its way toward the stock tank to get a much needed drink. is scene is played out thousands of times in the state of Texas as hunters take to the field suffering the effects of a long off season without much, if any, practice.

Shooting these fast flying birds is enough of a challenge without any other interference, like most dove hunters already knows there are plenty of other things to get in the way.

Without a doubt the biggest challenge for local hunters when it comes to dove season is finding real estate to hunt on. e state of Texas has plenty of public land to hunt and some of these areas hold good populations of doves if you know where to look. e only problem with public land is that you are competing with every other person who is in the same situation and those really aren’t good odds. e alternative to public land is leased property, both season and day. Now if you have spent any time in the field in this part

of the world the thought of leasing land for dove hunting is about as appealing as driving down the road and emptying your wallet out the window.

Quality dove leases in east Texas are about as common as unicorns so when hunters find a good one they tend to guard them fiercely. e day lease option is probably the best choice for local hunters; many reputable land owners will give a fair assessment of the dove population and make choosing a field a simpler task.

Another one of the difficulties that face dove hunters is the heat; September is not a cool month in our neck of the woods.

Both hunters and dogs need to go into the field prepared for some hot temperatures, and all the things that go with heat.

Plenty of water is a necessity, especially for your dog because they can overheat quicker than you realize.

Other nasty critters that thrive in the heat are insects such as ticks, mosquitoes and the ever popular snakes. Insect bites are one thing, snake bites are a whole different problem.

If you plan on taking a dog in the field with you be prepared with a first aid kit, it could really be a lifesaver. Many south Texas hunters take the initiative to have their

dogs “de-snaked” by a professional trainer. e dogs are conditioned not to pick up snakes or get near them; the training is great insurance against a possible bad situation.

Now with all the bad things that can happen and all the things that make this hunting season tough dove season is still an enjoyable experience.

Dove season signifies the beginning of the new hunting season and multitudes of Texas hunters can’t wait for the opening day. e thought of heading to the field for an afternoon session of dove hunting with friends is one of the most enjoyable experiences hunters can have. e fellowship and conversation that takes place in a dove field is like nowhere else.

Dove hunters don’t need to be overly quiet, super camoed, or even scent free because it really doesn’t matter.

Hunters talk freely among each other and often carry on good natured “trash talking” sessions about one another’s shooting skills. e environment is completely casual and sometimes the hunt takes a back seat to the camaraderie.

Despite all the challenges that dove hunters face the sport still has a special place in many Texans hearts.

Law protects students from taking classes that won’t transfer The bill mandates required reporting from colleges and universities about courses that don't transfer, and aims to help students save time and money.

Riane Roldan e Texas Tribune Victoria Tintori had three criteria in mind when applying to four-year universities: cost, distance from her family, and — most importantly — whether or not the school would take the 65 college credits she’d already accrued at Austin Community College.

When it came time to transfer, the 21-year-old psychology major from Dallas was deciding between Texas State University and St. Edward's University. Her decision was made after St. Edward's didn’t accept the two years of American Sign Language she’d taken as part of her foreign language credit.

"It's two years' worth of work,” Tintori said. “Which I guess isn't a big deal for them, but it's a big deal for me.”

Tintori is part of a growing number of students turning to community colleges for the first two years of their education, as four-year degrees in Texas become increasingly costly. But many of these students face an additional hurdle come transfer time: classes they’ve taken often don’t end up counting toward

their degree. e Texas Tribune thanks its sponsors. Become one. "[Students are] frustrated. A lot of times they feel confused, but they kind of put it on themselves. Like, 'Oh I could have done more.' But they're doing so much," said Lauren Schudde, a professor at the University of Texas Austin whose research focuses on transfer students. e problem has vexed lawmakers for several legislative sessions. In 2017, Sen. Jane Nelson, a Republican from Flower Mound, said she and other legislators were “growing impatient” with schools’ inability to solve the problem. at year, students, parents, and the state spent a combined $60 million on course credits that wouldn’t transfer, according to data from the Texas Coordinating Board for Higher Education.

Senate Bill 25, which easily passed both chambers in the Legislature and took effect June 14 after Gov. Abbott signed it into law, aims to help students like Tintori avoid losing credits as they move through the higher education system. Lawmakers hope that by making information about courses more

accessible and transparent, students can avoid paying for classes that don't help them earn a degree.

“Can you imagine how a student who has scraped together pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, in order to pay for tuition and fees … [to] then find out that when they go to university they have to take the same course over again [must feel]?” said Sen. Royce West, a Democrat from Dallas who authored the bill. e bill requires universities to develop recommended course sequences for all of their majors, laying out which classes students should take and giving them a timeline for completing them. It also requires universities to report any non-transferrable credits to both the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and the Legislature no later than March 1 of each year. “[It creates] clearer ways in which our students can look across institutions,” said Melissa Henderson, deputy director of policy at Educate Texas, a Dallas non-profit that works to improve higher education.

Lawmakers and experts at-

tribute the confusion to the state’s complex higher education landscape. Texas has 148 public and private higher education institutions, including 50 community college districts and 75 universities. All are required to follow the core curriculum, which lays out the first 42 semester credit hours that all undergraduate students have to take. But the problem is that not everyone’s first 42 hours should look the same. “is notion that the basics are universal are not in fact true,” Henderson said. “e math a liberal arts major is required to take, even within the core, is not the same math an engineering major is required to take.” e Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, which collects data and oversees all higher education institutions in the state, uses “fields of study” to produce lists of courses that students should take toward degrees in fields like business, engineering and computer science.

But many say students don’t use fields of study to help them navigate selecting courses — Henderson said only 41 percent of Texas transfer students actually complete all of the core curriculum before they transfer.

“It’s not a tool that a lot of students are utilizing,” Henderson said.

Universities have also tried implementing a similar concept called “meta major” that has the same goal: to act as guardrails to prevent students from getting

too far off track.

Ultimately, legislators tabled the discussion about the core curriculum, opting instead for a five-person commission to conduct a study on the matter. e commission will be made up of representatives from colleges and universities whose student population includes at least 25% transfer students.

Dustin Meador, director of government relations at the Texas Association of Community Colleges, said the 140-day session wasn’t enough time to hash out differences.

"I don't think anybody — university or junior college — would say that the core is working the way it was intended, or that it's a perfect system," Meador said. "It wasn’t ready for prime time."

Schudde, the UT researcher, has been following a group of 100 transfer-intending community college students for the past four years as they move through the higher education system.

She isn’t convinced that the bill is as strong as supporters are purporting it to be.

"A lot of the work is really on the institutions right now to start actually reporting about the credits that aren't transferring [and also] reporting and posting the recommended course sequences,” Shudde said.

“And all of that is important.

But there’s nothing in it that screams to me that it’s going to trickle down to students. "e whole point of this is so the students can get what they need out of college,” Schudde

CMYK

added. "at work is just necessary. We have to get there at some point."

Marissa Peña transferred from Austin Community College to UT-Austin before returning to ACC and eventually transferring again to St. Edward’s University.

Peña took college algebra at ACC and struggled before her advisors helped her switch to an intermediate algebra class. It wasn’t until it came time to transfer that Peña realized she didn’t have to take either class — as an English major, she could have fulfilled her math credit with a college mathematics class designed for nonmathematics and non-science majors.

“You kind of have to figure it out on your own, when you’re not trained for that,” Peña said.

For her, it wasn’t just about the credit hours, but the hours she’d spent studying, too. “at was a lot of money, out of my pocket and my parents pocket,” Peña said. “And a lot of time wasted.”

Man’s Cost and Indebtedness of Sin

Charles Empey

CHARLES EMPEY Guest Columnist For The Record God’s Word is clear as to the indebtedness of sin. Oh, what sin costs!! In Romans 6:23 it says “For the wages of sin is death…”

In Ephesians 2:1 it says, “And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;” What kind of “death” is Paul

writing about under the inspiration of God (II Tim. 3:16 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God…”) In the Garden of Eden when Adam, the federal head of mankind, disobeyed God, that act of sin, God said that death passed upon all men.

Romans 5:12 says, “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” So, Jesus said in John 3 that if you are not born again from heaven, a spiritual birth, you cannot see the Kingdom of God nor enter it (Verses 3,5). That is the term “quickened” which means to be born again, made alive, in Ephesians 2:1 we read above.

So, the first thing that happened is that man died spiritually and that ushered in physical death that became apparent in one of Adam and Eve’s children, when Cain killed Abel out of jealousy (a sin of covetousness).

So, death spiritually and physically became an absolute fact in

the soul and body, both when Adam sinned. So, as Romans 5:12 declares that we have read, this spiritual and physical death was and is now an established fact in the birth and life of every man, not to mention the physical death of animals, fish and plants, etc. The spiritual death for all men and women is the very thing that separates everyone initially from God. Everything is born to die because he or she is born in sin (Psalm 51) and remains that way unless………….

Unless there is a way to regain life. John 1:1-5,14 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not….14 And the Word was

made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 5:24 says clearly that whoever believes on Christ passes from death unto life.

Verse 24 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”

Jesus is the life to receive that will restore you to life, and that, eternal life. You’ll be saved, thus born again to life and that being eternal life. Romans 6:23 “ For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Romans 10:13 “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Are You Ready for Tailgating Season?

(StatePoint) Firing up the grill is a year-round pastime for many, especially in fall, when tailgating takes over stadium parking lots nationwide.

Grilling for a tailgate crowd can be just as high stakes as the game itself,” says The Pit Crew of Pit Boss Grills. “Being prepared sets you up for an easy victory on the grill and in the lot.”

Whether it’s your first time hosting a parking lot party, or you just want to master your technique, use these tips from the experts at Pit Boss to keep your favorite football fans fed:

cooking site. This is especially helpful to prevent babysitting or lifting the lid when doing slower cooked meats, like ribs and pork shoulder.

• Keep your crowd full. Food is the best part of tailgating.

Keep your crowd full with lots of finger foods like burgers, dogs, homemade chips and dips, or this recipe for Sticky Bourbon Chicken Wings: Ingredients:

• Bring more than you think you’ll need. Once you’re parked, you’re there to stay. Be sure to have more supplies -- particularly fuel -- than you think you’ll need, so there are no surprises.

• 20 chicken wings, patted dry • 1 cup ketchup

• Do the prep work before you go. Doctoring your food can be tricky in the heat of the moment. Cut out the onsite prep and go for surefire flavor by pre-seasoning and pre-marinating your meats.

• 1/2 cup honey • 1/3 cup brown sugar

• Use a portable grill. When it comes to grill choice, it’s all about efficiency. You want to be able to start feeding friends and family quickly after staking out space and pack it all up just in time for kick-off. With fast set-up and no messy cleanup, a portable wood pellet grill, like the Pit Boss Tailgater, gives bold, smoky-hardwood flavor, and makes a solid choice for tailgates, camping trips, picnics or any outdoor adventure.

• 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

• Satisfy all taste buds. Bring an assortment of barbecuing and dipping sauces. From sweet and spicy to tangy and mild, everyone wins with a little of what they want.

• 1 teaspoon Pit Boss Sweet Rib Rub Seasoning

• Kick back. Just because you’re manning the grill doesn’t mean you can’t kick back and enjoy the party. Use a remote thermometer to monitor your food while you step away from the

• 2 tablespoons bourbon • 2 tablespoons hot sauce • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions: The day or morning before the game, create you marinade by combining the ketchup, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, bourbon, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and Sweet Rib Rub in a bowl. Whisk well to combine.

Next, add the chicken wings to the marinade and toss them until they are well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours.

When it’s time to cook, fire up your wood pellet grill and set the temperature to 350 degrees F. If using a gas or charcoal grill, set it up for medium heat.

Let the marinade drip off the chicken wings, and place them directly on the grill grates to cook for 10 minutes. Turn them over and grill for an additional 7-10 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and dark golden brown. Remove the chicken wings from the grill and enjoy them while they’re nice and hot! For an extra kick of flavor, set aside some of your marinade before adding the chicken to coat the wings with later as a finishing sauce.

With the right tools on hand and a bit of prep, you’re ready to become a master tailgater this season.
