County approves change to employee vacation policy Tommy Mann Jr. For The Record

Tension was thick in Commissioners Court this past Tuesday as finances and benefits were again at the center of most discussions.

Orange County Commissioners Court met Tuesday afternoon in a specially called meeting to discuss several items, including the topic of vacation benefits which pertains to the hiring of future employees of the county.

Current employees of Orange County have the possibility of earning up to six weeks of paid vacation each year, depending on the amount of years of service with the county. In order to reduce savings to the county, Orange County Judge Stephen Brint

Carlton had proposed a reduction in the amount of vacation which could be earned by future employees.

“In my Carlton opinion, I think six weeks of vacation is a lot,” Carlton said. “Between vacation and the 13 paid holidays employees have in Orange County, that is up to twoand-a-half months off in a year.”

Carlton proposed a cap for vacation at four weeks per year for all future employees hired on or after Oct. 1, 2016. Employees would be eligible for up to two weeks of vacation

each year for the first 10 years of employment with Orange County. An employee could receive three weeks at 10 years and then four weeks upon reaching 20 years of employment.

“I think it is wrong to do this and I think we should keep the same policy we have now,” said

John Banken, Orange County Commissioner of Precinct 3.

“It’s getting harder and harder for us to hire qualified people because we keep chiseling away at these benefits.”

Commissioner David Dubose of Precinct 1 inquired whether these potential changes would impact those

under contract through the collective bargaining agreement, which is mostly law enforcement personnel with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. Any such action by the court would not impact those under the collective bargaining agreement.

“I don’t think it is worth the

savings then because this only affects a small number of people,” Dubose explained.

Vickie Edgerly, District Clerk of Orange County, agreed it has become more difficult to hire qualified employees.

LSC-O to unveil Harmon Lecture Hall Tommy Mann For The Record

As Lamar State College – Orange continues to expand with new programs and buildings, the efforts of those who laid the foundation for higher education in the area are appreciated all the more.

Few have put as much heart and soul into Lamar State College – Orange as long-time business and civic leader Carlton “Corky” Harmon, who is being recognized by the campus with a lecture hall named in his honor.

The Harmon Lecture Hall will be dedicated in the LSCO Nursing and Classroom Building at 5 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 7.

“No one has been a more loyal or dedicated supporter of Lamar State College – Orange than Corky Harmon,” stated Lamar State College-Orange president Mike Shahan. “For over forty years, he has worked to promote the cause of higher

education in Orange.

It has been my pleasure to work with him for the past twentytwo years, and I have witnessed his Harmon efforts to improve the campus and raise scholarship funds. He deserves credit for helping create the campus that our students, faculty, and staff enjoy.”

In 1969, Harmon, who was already a successful business owner and heavily involved in developing the area, was the driving force in bringing college courses to Orange as an extension of Lamar Beaumont.

Through his work with the Chamber of Commerce, businesses, and community members, Harmon successfully launched the satellite classes and within two years, enrollment and interest had grown to include both freshman- and sophomore-level courses in the school’s offerings.

When a fire in 1971 burned down the building where those classes were held, Harmon headed a community drive to raise the money needed to purchase the college’s first building on Front Street.

That endeavor lead to the establishment of the Lamar State College – Orange Foundation in 1983, which Harmon has been the chairman of for more than 30 years. In that time the foundation has flourished, beginning with just a few thousand dollars and now having more than $5 million to benefit the downtown campus and its students.

Harmon, who is a sixth generation native of Orange, has shown tremendous support for his hometown through the years.

“Anything that’s good for Orange is what he’s interested in,” said his close friend of 45 years Cecil Broom.

Harmon has been in the car business, just as his father and LSCO HARMON Page 3A

Young love sparks enduring flame Dave Rogers

For The Record

N

early a decade after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, L.D. Young leaves most of the storytelling to his better half, Joy. But the Texaco retiree still stands tall and offers a strong handshake and warm greeting to visitors to the couple’s cozy and inviting Bridge City home. He smiles a lot, and there’s a twinkle in his eye as Joy tells of their life together.

Cognitive difficulties can’t erase their love.

“Not a day goes by that he doesn’t say ‘I love you’ to Mom,” says David Young, the couple’s son and live-in caregiver.

The “I love yous” have been going on for a lot of days.

Joy and L.D. celebrated 70 years of marriage Wednesday. They were married Sept.

7, 1946 in Pineville, La. “It’s not really that much of a secret,” Joy said, when asked the secret to such a long union. “You get married and the main thing is to love and respect one another.

“If you respect one another, you’ll get through the hard times. In other words, don’t fight a bunch.”

L.D. is 93 years old, his bride is 92.

Both are natives of Louisiana, but got to Texas as fast as they could. They have lived in Bridge City for 68 years, all in the sturdy home in which they raised their six children.

Family is important. Six children – daughters Brenda and Sheri, son David and

daughters Peggy, Kim and Lisa – have grown the family to include 14 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.

“All because two people fell in love” – a wall hanging bearing those powerful words carries the signatures of L.D. and Joy and all the family members to come out of their 70-year joyride.

“It was an interesting life growing up,” Sheri Young Alford recalled. “They are two really special people that taught us what love was about.

“You say your vows but maybe you don’t always think about them, especially the ‘in sickness and in health’ part.

They’re living them right now.”

David Young said his father’s neurologist reports that tests show L.D. is in the

final stages of Alzheimer’s.

But the doctor also noted that “he’d never treated anyone that had advanced into the final stage Alzheimer’s doing as well as he is doing,” the son said.

Joy’s concessions to being a “seasoned citizen” include vision and hearing challenges that have slowed her down a bit.

But L.D. and Joy were front and center in Lake Charles recently, when they celebrated their 70th anniversary a few days early with a trip to the restaurant Pats’ of Henderson.

Sheri said it was a repeat of her parents’ 50th anniversary wingding. Except this one featured the first limousine ride for the happy couple.

High number of mosquitoes which could possibly carry Zika discovered in Austin Staff Report For The Record AUSTIN (KXAN) — Alex Wild loves insects, and thinks they are usually just misunderstood.

“Most insects are either harmless or beneficial to us.

People don’t really think about that, but a lot of what happens in the ecosystem around us is run by insects.”

Doctor Wild teaches entomology at the University of Texas at Austin. This past week, he set up a mosquito trap in his backyard in Central Austin, just to see what kind of mosquitoes were flying around his neighborhood. He made a surprising discovery… in a bad way.

“When I put the trap up, what we caught was pretty much just one of the species, Aedes aegypti, which is the one that’s thought to be more of a risk for Zika.”

Doctor Wild says the numbers he counted were a bit of a shock. He knows he’s been bitten this summer by both Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, also known as the Asian Tiger mosquito. But the trap he set really seemed to draw in the mosquitoes that have the potential Zika. Averaged over two days, Doctor Wild drew in 11 Aedes aegypti females per hour. He thinks the trap, which uses carbon dioxide to mimic humans breathing, must really appeal to Aedes aegypti’s senses.

These potential Zika carriers are common in Central Texas, and as they feed exclusively on humans, they tend to hover right around our living spaces. Doctor Wild says his neighbors could be accidentally causing them to breed.

“What they love is old beer cans, they love clogged gutters, they like old tires.

Their natural habitat here

in Texas are the edges of human yards.”

He stresses that it needs to be a communal effort to empty out old containers and clear bird baths, because that is where the Zika mosquitoes will find a home.

There is still no evidence the Zika virus is spreading anywhere in Texas. But the presence of these mosquitoes does pose a problem.

“What we have is an environment that might be ready for the spread of the virus, if

it does show up here.”

Thankfully, the Texas heat might help keep the spread of the disease to a minimum. It’s beneficial that people head for air conditioned, enclosed spaces, which makes it more difficult for mosquitoes to feed.

“This is not a very hospitable environment for Zika, just because we spend more time indoors than Brazilians and Puerto Ricans and other places where Zika has really taken off.”

When traps were set up, what was caught was pretty much just one of the types, Aedes aegypti, which is the species that’s thought to be more of a risk for Zika.

“We are competing wioth the private sector and they get an extensive amount of vacation,” she said. “And most pay more per hour. I think our benefits are a catch to help us get and keep people. We have very few carrots we can dangle to get people here.”

According to Lori Ardoin, HR director, Orange County has a total of 389 employees. Of those employees, 75 have 20 or more years of service, while 55 employees have 15-19 years of employment with the county. Another 51 have 10-14 years with the county, while 67 other employees have been with the county between 5-9 years. The remaining 141 employees have worked with Orange County five years or less. “(The County) has already taken away catastrophic leave and maternity leave, so that is something to think about,” Ardoin said in reference to the possibility of reducing vacation time earned for future employees. “I think it is a good thing to have, in my opinion.”

The motion to reduce vacation earned for future employees was approved by a vote of 3-2 with Dubose and Banken casting the dissenting votes.

The next topic on the agenda was in regards to a potential change in retiree health insurance benefits for employees who have not yet retired. Current employees can earn full health insurance benefits after a relatively brief amount of time employed with Orange County, but Barry Burton, Orange County Commissioner of Precinct 2, proposed a change.

The proposed change would allow for an employee with 8 years of employment with the county to receive 25 percent of paid medical benefits, while 12 years would receive 50 percent, 16 years would receive 75 percent and 20 years would receive 100 percent health insurance coverage.

However, after a very lengthy and tense discussion on the topic, there was some question as to whether it should be continuous or cumulative service with the county, so the no action was taken on the topic and will appear on the agenda for Tuesday, Sept. 13.

Another topic of discussion involves a potential salary increase of approximately $25,000 for Judge Carlton due to the reactivation of the County Court on Sept. 1, 2016. The increase reportedly would come from the state and not impact Orange County taxpayers in any way.

Carlton has announced his intention to begin handling some cases as County Court Judge as allowed by Texas County Courts’ jurisdictional authority as established by the Texas Constitution Article 5 and other related government codes.

Commissioner Burton stated he had spoken with both judges in the County Court at Law and County Court of Law 2 and that there was interest in obtaining assistance to reduce case load.

“So, what you are saying here is we have such a back log of cases that we need another court?,” asked Judge Derry Dunn, Orange County Justice of the Peace in Precinct 2. “Why don’t we have another County Court at Law then?”

Carlton said it would be cost effective to use his role in County Court instead of creating a new County Court at Law as related costs for another judge, bailiff, court reporter and other employees would be approximately $250,000.

Mark Philpott, Orange County Constable of Precinct 3, asked Judge Carlton, who is also a reserve member of the United States Air Force, if this was required by law for him to serve in such a capacity.

“No, it’s not required,” Carlton answered. “I’ve opted not to do this until now because my role in the reserves will change in November. This is just part of being a county judge. All county judges have administrative and judicial duties. Some choose to exercise that option and others don’t.”

Commissioner Dubose stated he would prefer to wait until the court could gather more information on the topic and to hear from the County Court at Law justices, Judge Mandy White-Rogers and Judge Troy Johnson, directly as both were out of town on Tuesday at a conference.

No action was taken on the topic and it will appear on the Sept. 13 agenda.

LSC-O Harmon From Page 1 grandfather before him, for more than three decades. He also has acquired and sold dozens of buildings and pieces of property in Orange and made generous donations to organizations and associations over the years.

“He’s made outstanding contributions to Orange in all phases, from business to helping with community projects,” said Linn Cardner, the director of the United Way of Orange County.

David Jones, a local business owner who serves on the foundation’s board of directors with Harmon, said he admires Harmon’s positive, optimistic outlook on life.

“I still consider myself a young entrepreneur and l like seeing that Corky still cares about this community at his age. His heart’s in it and I admire that about him. He still wants to make a difference and we can all learn a lot from him,” Jones said.

Harmon lives in Orange with his wife, Betty.

“The thing that meant it all to me was we had all six of our children there, and nobody else. Just the eight of us. We haven’t had many get-togethers like that.”

L.D. and Joy grew up 15 miles apart; he in Forest Hills, a town of about 300, and she in LeCompte (pronounced LuhCOUNT), which listed 1,300 residents on the 1940 census.

The communities are smack-dab in the middle of Louisiana, in Rapides Parish, just outside Alexandria.

Joy says she and L.D. met as teens, but sparks didn’t fly until a second, chance, meeting in 1946.

“We kind of knew one another in high school, but we didn’t get together until after the war (World War II),” she said. “We’d kind of lost track, but we met up one day at the bus station at Alexandria and that’s when we really became attracted to one another.”

L.D. had left Louisiana for a job at the Texaco refinery in Port Arthur, before joining the U.S. Navy in 1942. He served in the Pacific until 1946. His ship, the cruiser USS Columbus, pulled “occupation duty” in China after Japan’s surrender in late 1945.

Joy did her part in the war effort, too.

She worked as a telephone operator and lived on base at Camp Claiborne. It was a 23,000-acre tract of the Kisatchie National Forest, between Forest Hills and Alexandria, where more than a half million soldiers received basic training from 1939 to 1946.

“One of the best things I can say about America was what happened during World War II. Everything went into production for the war. Everyone pulled together,” Joy said.

“I was so proud of my country.”

L.D. returned from the Navy and went back to his job at the refinery. After their wedding, he and Joy bought land in a new addition in Bridge City and built their house.

The road in front of their home was named Young Street after them. They were pioneers.

“We built this up,” Joy said, looking over a beautifully landscaped backyard and a lot next door that once was L.D.’s garden. A dozen cardinals take turns at the several bird feeders hanging outside the Young’s living room windows.

“There was nothing out here

when we came. We were in the middle of the country.”

At the time, Orange County was winding down from its war boom, when Orange shipyards pulled the population upwards of 60,000. Only about a third of those citizens remained by 1950.

But the Texaco Port Arthur refinery was booming in 1950.

It employed more than 5,400 workers earning an average paycheck of $100 a week.

With six kids to feed, that money didn’t last long.

Joy did what she could to stretch the budget.

“I sewed. I was a seamstress,” she said. “I had five girls and I made everything they wore, even their cheerleaders outfits. I made formals for all the girls.

“All the kids worked at something. David delivered the Penny Record.”

When not working to put food on the table or otherwise raise their children, L.D. and Joy often could be found serving their faith through the First Baptist Church of Bridge City.

L.D., a longtime deacon at First Baptist, recently was named Deacon Emeritus there. Over the years, he had a “haircut ministry,” providing trims to the elderly and infirm.

The couple was part of a special FBC delegation to assist in the founding of their city’s Second Baptist Church.

Over the years, they made a number of mission trips to the Rio Grande Valley.

David recalls they also made longer car trips every summer to visit relatives in South Dakota.

But all those trips only served as warmups for after L.D. retired, when they spent 16 consecutive summers running a store at Yellowstone National Park.

“L.D. had worked with a guy that he and his wife had gone for one season and that’s all they talked about at work,” Joy recalled.

“We didn’t know anything about Yellowstone. We didn’t know what we’d find. But it became a big, big part of our lives.

“It was just like a vacation.

We didn’t make that much money and we spent what we made. In our free time, we did all the things people [tourists] did.

“It was such a great place.”

One could argue that any place with Joy and L.D. Young would qualify as a great place.

And, like the sign says: “All because two people fell in love.”

From The Creaux’s Nest 9-11 RECALLED ON 15TH ANNIVERSARY Only twice in the history of the United States has our country been under attack by outside forces. This Sunday, September 11, is the 15th anniversary of 9-11, 2001. The Japanese attacked at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. I recall exactly where I was when I heard about both attacks. It’s something you never forget. When the first tower was hit on the morning of September 11, I was sitting at my desk watching my old black and white TV, a gift from Uncle Jim McKay. I told Dwayne Morse, an emotional young man, that this was serious and there would be more. Then we heard about the Pentagon and the crash in Pennsylvania. By then Dwayne had tears running down his cheeks. A few days later, President George W. Bush, 43, got to New York. Someone handed him a bullhorn and with his arm around a fireman he said, “I can hear you, the rest of the world hears you and the people who knocked those buildings down will hear from all of us.” The United States attacked Afghanistan where Osama bin Laden was harbored by the Taliban regime, thus started the longest war in U.S. history. We still have many troops on the ground there. Unfortunately the biggest mistake ever made by our country took place with Bush’s decision to invade Iraq, who had nothing to do with 9-11. Our world problems today, the insertion of ISIS can all be traced back to that U.S. blunder. We heard about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on grandma’s little radio when President FDR addressed the nation. Then we heard my first cousin Hubert had been injured. He recovered only to come home and be killed in a farm tractor accident. Over the years, Cedric Stout, 95, has become a friend of mine. He was on the USS Utah when it sank in Pearl Harbor. He paints a horrible story about that December morning when blood covered the water. There have been several wars in between. I’ve lived a lifetime of wars, including Korea and Vietnam but none has as much lasting effect as the terrorist attack on 9-11.*****I’ve got to move on. I’d appreciate it if you came along. I promise it won’t do you no harm.

WHAT’S UNDER TRUMP’S COAT I bet you have never seen Donald Trump without his suit coat on because he’s hiding 40 to 60 pounds of fat. That goofy doctor said he would be the healthiest president ever. First, any 71 year old who is that much overweight ain’t healthy. I bet Obama has less that two-percent body fat and George W. rode a bike 20 miles regularly. Obama runs up the entire flight of stairs getting in Air Force One. If that doctor stripped Trump down to his skivvies, he’d find a lot of blubber. The phoniest thing The Donald has pulled yet was pretending, at a black church, that he knows about religion. He knows about as much about that as he does governing. Win or lose, Trump has created millions of followers he can sell stuff to. He is trying to strengthen his brand. One thing we know about Trump is that his business is based on selling the Trump brand. A dozen of his products are made in fargion countries. His shirts are made in Bangladesh with slave labor, less than $2 a day. When this race is all over, he’s planning a Trump network that will be right of FOX News. Hannity will be his right hand air personality and Roger Ailes will run the show. It’s all about the bottom line with Donald.

He never intended to be president. Meanwhile Gretchen Carlson has settled a lawsuit against Ailes and FOX for $20 million and an apology. Also Greta Van Susteren told FOX that she was leaving, just too much right wing stuff.

W.O.-S, the state’s number one ranked team is odds favorite to win. They just have so many weapons. If their offense or defense fails, special teams take off. My guess is we won’t see the high scoring of last week by either team.

If Bridge City can hang close, not shoot themselves, we might be in for an upset. The Mustangs are tough but the Cardinals never quit. It will make for a great game that will be a sell out.*****On September 4, Pope Francis declared Mother Teresa a Saint.

The Longhorns beat Number 10 Notre Dame 50-47 in double overtime. The real heroes on both teams were the receivers.

The win was much needed by Texas if they hope to someday again get to the top of the heap.****The Wednesday Lunch Bunch dined at Robert’s Restaurant last week. The group was glad to see and visit with Marilyn and Gene Smith. For several years Marilyn had battled cancer. She won the battle but the long fight left its toll. Marilyn is very thin with stomach problems that allow her to eat very little, most food makes her sick. They are such fine people. For many years Marilyn was “Girl Friday” for Rep. Wayne Peveto’s law office. Hopefully they will visit as often as they can.

This week The Bunch dines at PK’s Grill and next week at JB’s Barbeque. Everyone is always welcome to join this great bunch of folks.*****A few folks we know celebrating birthdays in the next few days.

Our good buddy, WWII veteran Millard “Neighbor” Cox, turns the page of life to number 92. He is an amazing guy for his age. He’s hanging around to keep taking care of Ms. Ginny. The prettiest deputy sheriff I know, Sharon Gerhart, celebrates today. They used to refer to her as “That sexy girl on West Roundbunch next to the church.” Also celebrating are Joel Jefficote, Jesse Thurman and Pamela Smith. Actor Adam Sandler turns 50, Hugh Grant, 56 and “Dukes of Hazard’s Luke Duke, Tom Wopat, 65.*****Sept.

Joining them are golfer Arnold Palmer, 87, TV show host Bill O’Reilly, 67 and Hall of Famer Randy Johnson, 53. Happy anniversary also to Kelly and D.A.

Also celebrating are Connie Swope, Margaret Jeffcote and Darlene Brown. This day is also the anniversary of Hurricane Ike in 2008.

Also celebrating birthdays are actor/producer Tyler Perry, 47 and Olympic runner Michael Johnson, 49.*****A week ago people were burning 49er Colin Kaepernick’s jersey. Now the jerseys are flying off the shelf, only being outsold by Cowboy rookie running back Ezekiel Elliot and New York great wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. Go figure.*****I noticed that Commissioners Court, on a 3 to 2 vote, gave some elected officials raises. If approved at the Sept. 13 meeting the raise goes into effect Oct. 1. I’m in favor of raises however this move seems to punish some elected officials because of longevity. A newly elected official hires in at the same pay that a three-term official is receiving. Sheriff Keith Merritt, Judge Mandy White Rogers, Judge Troy Johnson, Judge Derry Dunn, Judge Carlton and I believe District Clerk Vickie Edgerly will not receive a raise of $7,000 like the others. It’s designed to have everyone make the same pay doing away with seniority. Most places of employment give periodical raises on a time served basis. The raise is good and they deserve it but so do those who didn’t get what they feel they have earned.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Every night right after it got dark Leroy Desomeaux, a bird lover, would go out in da backyard and hoot like an owl, hoping to attract one. After a few days Leroy’s plan worked. One night an owl, wit a deep voice, started answering him. For a year, every night Leroy an dat owl hooted back an forth to one an utta. Leroy him, even kept a log of dere nightly conversations.

Leroy tought he was on da verge of a breakthrough in interspecies communication wen his wife Marie had a chat wit her neighbor Mary Lou. “My husband Leroy him, spends his nights calling out to da owls,” Marie said.

“Mais, dat’s odd, so does my husband Sostan. For about a year, every night he talks to an owl him.”

C’EST TOUT “Mr. Kitty” the Escape Artist We’ve reported before on the exploits of “Mr. Kitty,” Jack and Juliet Smith’s now famous escape cat, who plays hide and seek with the Smith’s. Several times a year, the Smith’s motor to their home in Colorado. They always take “Mr. Kitty” with them. He enjoys Colorado but apparently doesn’t like the car trip so when it’s time to pack up and head home, he escapes and hides out.

Once before when they were all loaded up, ready to hit the road “Mr. Kitty” disappeared. After an extensive search, thinking a wild animal in the area had gotten him; the Smiths gave up and made the long, sad trip home. Two days later, someone called and announced that “Mr. Kitty,” hungry and ragged, had returned to their Colorado home. The Smith’s loaded up and drove back to Colorado to retrieve ‘Mr. Kitty.” Because the cat had done this kind of thing before, he just doesn’t like to ride, the Smith’s had thought about boarding “Mr. Kitty” on their resent trip. At the last minute however, they decided they would give him one more chance. On the load up to return home, everything went well with the cat until the Smith’s stopped for the night at their usual motel in Crandon, TX. The people at the motel, in that 3,000 population town, treat the Smith’s like family so when Jack got through loading up, they bid them goodbye until next time. All that was left was to load “Mr. Kitty” up. Juliet, because of a back injury, had sat in the car while Jack loaded up. He had shut ‘Mr. Kitty” in the room until he was done but apparently had not shut the door completely. “Mr. Kitty” was gone again. Everyone, including the day policeman in the little town, searched and searched. They even checked out the local restaurant to see if the cat might have stopped in for some scraps. The sun had gotten high in the sky when the Smith’s gave up the search. Jack left his cell phone number and 25 miles down the road the call came that “Mr. Kitty” had been found, hidden under a bed in another motel room. Jack swears that was “Mr. Kitty’s” last trip to Colorado. He’ll miss the Christmas vacation. Personally, I wouldn’t bet the farm on it. In conclusion, John Cash “Jack” Smith is one of the smartest people I know. He’s an outstanding lawyer, brutal in the court room. I’ve seen him in action, he takes no hostages. Yet a cunning cat can out fox him, which proves everyone, regardless of how smart they are, can be had. The more Jack raises hell, the more “Mr. Kitty” smiles in satisfaction that he once again has embellished his reputation as an “Escape Artist.” That’s my human interest piece of the week.*****Thanks for your time. Take care and God bless.

Stark Museum of Art Family Day returns

FAMILY DAY returns to the Stark Museum of Art and it’s free for all ages! Families are invited to join the festivities of Favorite Things Family Day, Saturday, September 17, 2016 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The young and the young at heart can build a photo frame, make an egghead portrait and an edible teacup. They can go on a scavenger hunt to win prizes and design a take-home mini-museum. Also, families can come together to enjoy the works of a balloon twist artist, face painting, family games, music and lemonade and cookies served on the SMA porch.

Scouts will enjoy Favorite Things Family Day as well. The Museum will offer an activity patch for all participants and each activity meets badge requirements for Cub and Girl Scouts. Family Day offers a great opportunity for Scout troops to get out and explore their community while having fun!

Stark Museum of Art Curator of Education, Jennifer Restauri states, “Studies have found that children who visit museums early in life are more likely to continue to visit museums throughout their lives and have an increased self-motivation to learn. Art museums specifically offer children an opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary informal learning and foster a sense of creativity.” This most valuable learning experience is available to children and their grown-ups as they participate in Stark Museum of Art programming such as Family Days.

Favorite Things Family Day is offered in conjunction with the special exhibition Collecting Conversations that will be on view for all to enjoy as well. The exhibition highlights the collecting styles of three generations of the Stark and Lutcher family and asks guests to think about what they collect and why. Among the unique and somewhat surprising treasures included in the exhibition are three beautifully restored automobiles, rare books, decorative purses, brilliant cut glass, unique jewelry, family furniture and over 100 quirky, hand-blown eggs decorated to resemble famous historical figures!

The exhibition also features two loaned books from the Miriam Lutcher Stark Library, Harry Ransom Center, The University of Texas at Austin: A first edition King James Bible and Mr. William Shakespeares comedies, histories, & tragedies. Published according to the true originall copies. Both books were published in the 1600s.

In the spirit of “collecting,” the Stark Museum of Art is kicking off a school supply collection initiative on Family Day for area students in need. Those wishing to donate may bring school supplies to the donation bin that will be located in the Museum lobby. The school supplies will be collected throughout the Collecting Conversations Exhibition and will be evenly distributed among Orange County students in need.

Acadian Ambulance Service celebrates 45 years Staff Report For The Record Acadian Ambulance Service was founded by three young entrepreneurs on September 1, 1971, with two ambulances and eight medics, serving Lafayette Parish, Louisiana. Today, September 1, 2016, marks Acadian’s 45th anniversary.

Richard Zuschlag, Richard Sturlese and Roland Dugas recognized a need for an ambulance service at a time when funeral homes stopped providing ambulance transportation due to new federal regulations.

Today, Chairman & CEO Richard Zuschlag leads one of the nation’s largest privately owned ambulance companies.

Acadian has more than 4,300 employees, 500 ambulances, six medical helicopters and five airplanes, and serves a population of more than 20 million residents in 34 Louisiana parishes, 37 Texas counties and Jackson County, Mississippi.

“From the start, we were committed to providing the best possible patient care and customer service,” said Zuschlag, also celebrating his anniversary with the company this year. “As we grew, our reputation as a leader in medical transportation began to build.”

In the past 45 years, Acadian Ambulance has expanded to become six divisions, including Acadian Air Med, Acadian Total Security, National EMS Academy, Safety Management Systems and Executive Aircraft Charter Service.

“The founding and success of Acadian Ambulance has allowed us to organically expand

our business’ footprint.

Through each of our six divisions, we are proud to have become leaders in the medical, transportation, education, security and safety industries,” said Zuschlag.

The combined performance of Acadian’s six divisions have helped to propel the company to the top of Lafayette business publication ABiz’s Acadiana’s Top 50 Private Companies list for 2016.

Acadian has remained a private company with the adoption of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) in 1993, one of their most significant milestones.“I’m so proud of our ESOP and the fact that it lets our team members share in what their company has achieved. We want to do the best for our employees, patients, customers, and community, and I’m extremely thankful to everyone for helping to make this company so much more successful than anything I ever dreamed,” Zuschlag said.

In addition, Acadian Air Med is celebrating their 35th anniversary, Executive Aircraft Charter Service recognizes 25 years of service, and Acadian Ambulance’s Texas operations reached 10 years. In addition to being the largest privately owned company in Acadiana, Acadian is also the largest privately owned ambulance service in Louisiana and Texas.

Acadian Ambulance has earned and maintained accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services, the gold standard in emergency medical transportation.

Harold Ellis, Sr. Livingston

Harold Lloyd Ellis, Sr. was born Oct. 22, 1926 in Hotel Dieu, a hospital in Harold Beaumont, to Ellis, Sr. Louis Murdoch and Lola Perkins Ellis. He grew up in the South Park area of Beaumont, where he excelled at baseball and trained to become a carpenter like his father. He built and flew model airplanes and once soared with his brother under the Rainbow Bridge in a real airplane. He met Maurine Rickman, his future wife, when he stole her books while she was attending college classes. He went into the Army immediately upon graduation—it was 1944 and there was a war going on. He was trained as an infantryman and was on a transport headed for the Invasion of Japan when the war was declared over. When he got back home, he married Maurine and started his family out in Pittsburgh, Ca., while waiting to be discharged from the Army.

Harold’s family soon grew with the birth of his first child, a daughter, Melinda Sue Ellis. He moved back to Southeast Texas and got a job as a maintenance mechanic at DuPont’s Sabine River Works in Orange. He settled in Bridge City, where he began building houses on weekends. He eventually built 33 houses in Bridge City, including 11 in the neighborhood where he

settled, Inwood. His years there saw the birth of his first son, whom he named Harold Lloyd Ellis, Jr., and then later a second son, Barney Glenn Ellis. It was in Bridge City that Harold, Sr. developed his passion for playing “Texas 42,” a dominoes game.

In 1967, “Bubba” as he was known by almost everyone, bought 25 acres of land between Kirbyville and Jasper in East Texas. The family spent weekends traveling back and forth to the “Camp,” but in 1973, he began building his dream home there.

This was a unique and beautiful six-sided home, which the locals called the “Round House.” In 1978, he retired from DuPont after 33 years. But he did not stay retired long.

Harold Ellis sold his farm and beautiful house and moved to Livingston, Texas, where his daughter lived. He built a small duplex on Brock Avenue and then began building homes for other people. He built himself another dream house on Mockingbird Lane in Enchanted Forest. Maurine loved tending plants and flowers, so Bubba built a beautiful series of walkways and gardens in their back yard on Mockingbird Lane, which became something of a local tourist attraction.

In the meantime, he and “Reenie,” his wife, traveled to Branson, Mo. and fell in love with the shows and musicals there.

Harold retired for the second time. They moved into a smaller home in Springfield, Mo., to be closer to Branson. They enjoyed their time there for several years until Maurine passed away in 1996. Harold traveled back to Livingston to visit with family and friends and spent the next few years splitting his time between East Texas and Missouri.

He got an apartment in Livingston. He met a dear friend, Lois Rhodes, who has a lovely family, in addition to several sweet Dachshunds. “Harold Honey” and Lois attended the First Baptist Church in Livingston and had many friends.

Harold went to live with his son, Barney, in 2010. He then chose a convalescent home in Livingston and spent happy hours visiting with his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren and with Lois’ extensive family.

During his time on this earth, Harold Ellis gave away his daughter, Melinda and two nieces, Kim and Denise Stracener. He saw the military retirement of his two sons, Harold, Jr. and Barney, who both served in the US Air Force.

Harold Lloyd Ellis was diagnosed with diabetes in the 1980s.

He controlled it well for many years, but gradually suffered kidney function loss and heart failure. A stroke left him bed-ridden at the end, but he rallied his strength to see family and friends a few days before he left us. He was age 89 on Aug. 30, when he passed peacefully as he slept.

His last few years were without pain and he always had a smile for everyone.

He was preceded in death by his brother, John Allen Ellis in 1977, his wife of 50 years, Maurine Ruth Ellis in 1996, daughter, Melinda Ellis Phillips in 1998 and his second grandchild, Julie Tanner Smith, in 1999.

He is survived by a large and extended family, including his sister, June Ellis Stracener, of Austin; two sons: Harold Lloyd Ellis, Jr. of Detroit, Or. and Barney Glenn Ellis of Silsbee; seven grandchildren and step-grandchildren: Tammy Tanner Wilhelm, of Riesel, Donna Kristine Meyer of Derby, Ks, Harold Lloyd Ellis III, who serves in the US Navy and is stationed in Japan, Shawneen

Fockler of Clovis, NM, Jonathan Fockler, who serves in the US Air Force at Hill Air Force Base in Salt Lake City, Ut, Joseph Bryan Yellott of Leander and Scotty Lynn Ellis of Silsbee; 14 greatgrandchildren, including Harold Lloyd Ellis IV and his dear friend Lois Rhodes of Livingston and her family.

Harold will be missed by all for many different reasons: a precious father, caring uncle, gentle grandfather and great-grandfather and dear friend to all. The carpenter has been called home to his Master.

Frederick Keil, III Spring Frederick W. Keil, III, 71, of Spring, passed away Aug. 26, Frederick at Northwest Memorial HosKeil, III pital in Houston.

A memorial service was held Saturday, Sept. 3, at Bammel Church of Christ chapel in Houston. Officiating was Michael Montalvo. A gathering of family and friends will be held after the service.

Born in San Francisco, Ca., on July 14, 1945, he was the son of Frederick W. Keil, Jr. and Dorothy Ada Keil. Frederick was a veteran of the United States Army who served his country in Vietnam. He was a supervisor at Rescar in Orange before being transferred to the Channelview location where he retired after many loyal years.

Frederick loved fishing and spending time camping at the beach. He loved the Lord and enjoyed sharing bible verses with others. He was a family man who will be missed greatly by all who knew and loved him.

Kaz’s Fearless Forecast Games This Week Joe Kazmar For The Record

WOS Mustangs over Bridge City This match-up could very well be a blast from the past when the Cardinals and the West Orange Chiefs were battling for more than just pride. Both teams are undefeated, both are defensive stalwarts and both teams are expected to lay it all on the line Friday night at Larry Ward Stadium just like it used to be. The only difference this time is that the Mustangs are a three touchdown favorite.

Orangefield Over Woodville The Bobcats got a taste of what a really good team is made of last week at Kirbyville and have an opponent just as salty coming into F.L. McClain Stadium Friday night. The Eagles come to town with notches in their victory belts after disposing of Corrigan-Camden and Madisonville, both very stout football programs. A maximum effort might give the ‘Cats a slim victory.

LC-M Bears Over Hardin-Jefferson The Battlin’ Bears have been struggling in their losses to Jasper and the West Orange-Stark Mustangs and should have benefited from the early-season mistakes and be ready to post their first victory of the season Friday Night at Bear Stadium. But it won’t be easy because the Hawks will be flying in undefeated.

BC Cardinals run wild in 56-12 victory Tommy Mann Jr. For The Record

Even with a less than perfect showing, the Bridge City Cardinals took care of business Friday night and came away with a victory in its home opener for the season.

The Bridge City Cardinals used its potent rushing attack to muzzle the Houston North Forest Bulldogs 56-12 on Friday night at Larry Ward Stadium in Bridge City. The Cardinals had 515 total yards on the night compared to the Bulldogs 211.

North Forest (0-2) received the opening kick-off, but the Cardinals defense quickly set the tone by putting the Bulldogs back on the sideline following the first of several three-and-out series.

Following the punt, the Cardinals began its first drive of the night at the Bulldogs 45-yard line. The drive was plagued by numerous penalties on both teams, but Bridge City tailback Patrick Morris punched it on a 13-yard jaunt to put the Cardinals up 6-0 following a failed extra-point attempt.

Another three-and-out by the Bulldogs and a punt gave the Cardinals the ball at mid-field. Instead of chewing up the clock on this drive, Bridge City only needed two plays to put the ball in the end zone as Morris (9 rushes, 137 yards) darted through the Bulldogs defense for a 44-yard score. Max Baker added the two-point conversion and the Cardinals were on top 14-0 at the end of the first quarter.

Rashand Jones gave the Bulldogs some breathing room with a 21 scamper to the team’s own 36 yardline. Following a two-yard loss, Jones dropped back to pass and found receiver Demond Demas a step behind the Cardinals defense for a 66-yard score and put the

Bulldogs right back in the contest, 14-7.

The turning point of the game proved to be the next drive for the Cardinals as the Bridge City offense did what it does best, which is chew up the clock, move the ball and wear down opposing defenses.

Bridge City moved the ball 70 yards in approximately four minutes as Max Baker capped the drive with a five-yard score to extend the lead to 21-7. The Cardinals never looked back.

The team that makes the fewest mistakes should come out on top and get league play started on the right foot.

The West Orange-Stark Mustangs secured the second consecutive shut out of the young season as the Mustangs beat crosstown rivals, Little Cypress-Mauriceville, 45-0 this past Friday night at Bear Stadium on the campus of LC-M High School.

The Mustangs high powered offense got off to a slow start on Friday as the Bears defense kept WO-S in check and only allowed 24 total yards in the first quarter and only 82 in the first half. However, it was the Mustangs spe-

cial team play which was the catalyst for a victory.

Kentavius Miller returned a punt for a 69 yard touchdown early in the first quarter to give WO-S a 6-0 lead and had another return of 45 yards which contributed to a Mustangs field goal. A Jarron Morris punt return of 50 yards put the Mustangs at the Bears two-yard line, which was followed by a Jack Dallas touchdown run.

The Mustangs vaunted “Chain Gang” defense lived up to its reputation on Friday as it not only kept the Bears out of the end zone, it only allowed LC-M barely more than 60 total yards of offense.

West Orange-Stark (2-0) will travel to Bridge City this week to take on the Cardinals (2-0) at 7:30 p.m., Friday, Sept.

9, at Larry Ward Stadium.

Bridge City defeated Houston North Forest 56-12 this past Friday in the Cardinals first home game of the 2016

season. The Cardinals offense had 515 total yards in its game against the Bulldogs, with the running game churning out 482 yards.

LC-M (0-2) will host the Hardin-Jefferson Hawks at 7 p.m., Friday, at Bear Stadium in the second of three consecutive home games for the Bears.

Hardin-Jefferson (1-0) defeated the Buna Cougars, 4025, this past Friday in its first full game of the season. In week one, the Hawks were leading Coldspring-Oakhurst by a score of 6-0 when the game was called due to weather.

Penalties

punt by North Forest, led to another Bridge City scoring drive as Hunter Denton outran the Bulldogs defense to the end zone on a 34-yard run with 3:59 to play in the half.

As if that wasn’t enough, North Forest could not move the ball and the punt only netted 13 yards to give the Cardinals the ball at the Bulldogs 36-yard line with 1:41 left in the second quarter.

Faced with second and seven at the 33 yard line, Bridge City quarterback Byron Trahan faked a hand-off to his right, rolled left and found receiver Seth Martin open near the left sideline for a touchdown on the Cardinals only pass attempt of the night and a 35-6 lead at the half.

Baker added his second touchdown of the night with a 70 yard gallop around the right end and found the end zone after two missed tackles

by Bulldogs defenders with 10:51 left in the third quarter.

North Forest responded with its best sustained drive of the night as the Bulldogs marched 83 yards in nearly five-and-half minutes. Jones rolled to his left and found tight end Aleric Manuel for a 11-yard scoring pass. Following the failed two point conversion, the Cardinals led 4212.

Bridge City sealed the game as fullback Andy Lara zipped through the heart of the Bulldogs defense for a 70-yard run up the middle.

From Page 1B

Lara, who added a 19-yard run at the start of the fourth quarter to close out the scoring, received some ample playing time and valuable experience as he filled in for starting fullback Cayce Draper, who missed practice all week due to a case of strep throat.

Despite putting up 56 points for the second consecutive week, Coach Dwayne DuBois still believes his Cardinals have room to improve.

“The kids gave a great effort,” DuBois said following the game. “The defense played great and the offense controlled the line of scrimmage, but we just need to put it all together for four full quarters.

“We need to clean up a few things before our game next week,” he continued. “This needs to be our best week of practice, and we shouldn’t have any problem being focused.”

That is because the Cardinals (2-0) will be hosting the defending Class 4A Division II State Champions, the West Orange-Stark Mustangs, next Friday.

The Mustangs (2-0) look to be in mid-season form already as WO-S defeated Nederland, 42-0, in Week 1, and LC-M, 45-0, on Friday.

“West Orange-Stark is one of the best coached teams in the state of Texas, all the way from the top with Coach (Cornel) Thompson to the rest of the coaching staff,” Dubois added. “We all know what they

WOS Mustangs take Orange Bowl while making “improvements” Mustang Insider Meri Elen Jacobs For The Record

Not only was WO-S Head Coach Cornel Thompson looking for a win Friday night against the Battlin’ Bears, he was looking for improvement.

And when the last second ticked off of the clock, with the Mustangs notching another shut out, 45-0, he was pleased with what he had seen.

“We improved as a team and individuals improved,” Thompson said. “The guards played hard and showed a lot of improvement. We cut down on the penalties. Our tackling was better and our kicking game was better.”

LC-M’s Chris Winter snagged Jack Dallas’ first pass of the game but the Bears were unable to do anything with the ball and the Mustangs made them pay as KJ Miller returned the punt 66 yards to put 6 points on the board. Kicker Chad Dallas’ PAT was no good but the Mustangs led, 6-0.

“We had three sizable punt returns, one for a touchdown that showed improvement in that area,” Thompson said.

“We are still working on our field goals and extra points, but I’m sure that will get better each week.”

The Mustangs hit pay dirt again when Chad Dallas hit a 25 yard field goal to up the score to 9-0. Punt Returner Jarron Morris returned the next LCM kick 51 yards to the two yard line and on the next play, Jack Dallas did the honors with a quarterback sneak up the

The Mustangs hit the end zone twice more before heading to the locker room for half time. Running back Jeremiah Shaw got loose for a 4 yard touchdown after receiver Kieon Hancock ‘s reception set up great field position. Jack Dallas hit Miller for a 24 yard strike for the last score for the quarter. Both of Chad Dallas’ PAT

Each team struggled to move the ball early, but it was Kirbyville which struck first on a 64-yard scoring strike from Tadarius Jackson to Joseph Fentrist midway through the first quarter.

The Bobcats settled down and had its best drive of the opening half as Orangefield, as the offense, led by quarterback Caleb Kress, marched the ball 70 yards for a score as Kress dived in from the goal line to knot the game up at 7-7 early in the second quarter.

teams posted impressive wins last week, with the Cardinals excited to play their first game before the home fans. Let’s hope the Lions disappoint these boosters.

HOUSTON over LAMAR— The Cardinals had the misfortune of blowing an 11-point lead last week in their home loss to Coastal Carolina. Two things not happening for the Redbirds Saturday is the game is not at Provost-Umphrey Stadium in Beaumont and Lamar won’t have a chance to blow another 11-point lead against these highly-ranked Cougars after their impressive upset victory over the Oklahoma Sooners Saturday.

LOUISIANA-LAFAYETTE over McNEESE STATE— This contest is considered the Cowboys’ “sacrificial lamb” game where they play a team from Division I for a nifty payday. However, I think the Pokes have a chance to make this game close or maybe even score and upset win against these Ragin’ Cajuns.

more than two minutes to take a 14-7 lead into half-time.

Neither team could make much headway in the third quarter, but it was Kirbyville which added more points onto the scoreboard in the fourth quarter as Cameron Ballard sprinted around the left side for a 39-yard score and a 21-7 lead which proved to be the final.

Orangefield (1-1) will face the Woodville Eagles at 7:30 p.m., Friday, at F.L. McLane Stadium in Orangefield.

The Woodville Eagles (2-0) defeated the Madisonville Mustangs 28-14 this past Friday. In week one, the Eagles overpowered Corrigan-Camden 51-0.

Woodville is a member of District 11-3A Division I,

were good, putting the score at 30-0 for the half.

The Mustangs didn’t let up much in the second half. Shaw scored on the first possession from 12 yards out and Chad Dallas put one more on the board with his PAT. Receiver Dominique Tezeno caught a Jack Dallas pass for a 31 yard touchdown. The defense added two more on a safety late in the fourth quarter.

“We drilled them pretty good,” Thompson said. “Teron

Brown had a good game and so did Cory Skinner.”

In fact, the Chain Gang had a pretty good game, holding the Bears to 4 first downs and only 64 total yards.

The Mustangs will be on the road again when they travel across the bridge to play the Bridge City Cardinals, who are also undefeated and have put 56 points on both of their opponents. (Hamshire-Fannett, 56-15 and North Forest, 56-12) “Bridge City is a seasoned, well-coached football team,” Thompson said.

“Coach (Dwayne) Dubois does a great job with the offense, running the slot T. He’s got 7 back on both sides of the ball and this will be the best O line we have faced yet. They run a good scheme and will do a great job getting on you.”

Some of the Cardinal players to watch for are running back Patrick Morris, fullback Cayce Draper, quarterback Byron Trahan, and two slot backs Max Baker and Hunter Denton.

“It’s going to be a tough 48 minutes of football and we will have to win at least two of the three phases of the game,” Thompson said. “Bridge City is not an easy place to win.”

Tickets will be on sale at the WO-S Athletic Office Thursday, 9-12 and 1-3pm and Friday 9-12 only. Prices are $5 for adults and $3 for students with the same prices at the gate.

The sophomore team tied against LCM Thursday night, 14-14. Wilbert Ned scored on a 50 yard run and also had a 73 yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Hykiem Taylor scored a

College football starts with a bang for avid fans should be a good one brewing at Larry Ward Stadium in Bridge City Friday night between the Cardinals and the defending state champion West Orange-Stark Mustangs. Both teams are high-scoring and very stingy on defense and both are 2-0. That’s all that needs to be said.

The 2016 National Football League season begins tomorrow night when the defending world champion Denver Broncos entertain the runner-up Carolina Panthers, the two Super Bowl 50 participants. The Houston Texans open the season at home against the Chicago Bears while the Dallas Cowboys host the New York Giants.

KAZ’S KORNER Joe Kazmar For The Record If you were lucky enough to stay off the highways Labor Day weekend and love college football, you must have thought you died and went to Heaven.

Those of us who fall into that category got to see plenty of games Thursday through Monday night. And some of the best games involved teams within a 300-mile radius of the Orange area that were involved in upsets.

Three exciting games Saturday found the University of Houston completely dominating the 11-point favored Oklahoma Sooners 33-23 in the second half, the Texas Aggies upsetting UCLA 31-24 in overtime and the LSU Tigers being upset 16-14 by Wisconsin at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. If watching these three games didn’t send your blood pressure into orbit, then you didn’t enjoy those games as much as I did.

No. 3-ranked Oklahoma jumped off to a 10-3 lead in the first period, but a pair of Ty Cummings field goals just before halftime put the Coogs in front for good 19-17 and really got the crowd going at NRG Stadium in Houston.

The noise became deafening midway through the third period when the Sooners’ Austin Seibert’s 53-yard field goal try was short and was caught by Houston’s Brandon Wilson inches from the end line in the back of the end zone and returned 109 yards to increase Houston’s lead to 26-17.

The Cougars beat the highest-ranked opponent since a 29-15 win over No. 3 Texas on Nov. 10, 1984.

Texas A&M looked to have their upset victory locked up when they led 24-9 with less than five minutes left in the game before a crowd of 100,443 fans at Kyle Field in College Station.

But the combination of defensive lapses and a charging Bruin attack resulted in a pair of late touchdowns which tied the score at 24-24 with 2:51 remaining in regulation. Neither team got overly-aggressive sending the contest into overtime.

The Aggies lost the coin flip and consequently got the football first. They drove down to the shadow of the goal line but couldn’t pound it in.

A&M quarterback Trevor Knight, played his first game with the Aggies since transferring from Oklahoma.

A&M quarterback Trevor Knight, who was playing his first game with the Aggies since transferring from Oklahoma faked to the right and calmly pranced around left end into the end zone for the touchdown on a fourth-and inches situation. The extra point made it 31-24.

With the crowd so loud one couldn’t hear himself think, the Aggie defense dug in and played perhaps their best defense of the game and prevented UCLA from scoring the tying touchdown to the delight of the crowd.

This was the type of victory the unranked team required and Head Coach Kevin Sumlin needed the most. It helped solidify his position at the start of his fifth season at the helm of the Aggies.

But they had better cease the celebrations quickly because 7 of A&M’s 12 opponents entered Week 1 ranked or receiving votes.

LSU’s dreams for an undefeated season and national title hopes came to a screeching halt when Wisconsin kicker Rafael Gaglianone booted a 47yard field goal in the waning minutes Saturday afternoon.

The Badgers put the icing on the cake with an interception with 57 seconds left in the game.

Perhaps the most exciting game was the one played Sunday night at Darrell K. RoyalTexas Memorial Stadium in Austin between the Texas Longhorns and Notre Dame.

Last year’s meeting at South Bend turned into a 38-3 rout of the Longhorns. Head Coach

Charlie Strong approached this game like it was a bowl game, never revealing who his starting quarterback would be until right before game time after choosing freshman Shane Buechele over senior Tyrone Swoopes.

However, both talented quarterbacks would have a hand in the final decision which went two overtime periods and was won by Texas in a shootout 50-47.

For a moment, it looked as if Texas would run away with the game as the ‘Horns had as many touchdowns (3) as they scored points in last year’s meeting. They went ahead 2814 early in the second half.

The Fighting Irish did just that, fought and scrapped back into the game thanks to the superb play of quarterback DeShone Kizer with the score tied 37-37 after a blocked extra point was run all the way back for a two-point play.

But when it came down to the overtime periods and short yardage was needed either for a first down or a touchdown, Strong called on Swoopes, who is nicknamed “The 18-Wheeler” and he picked up the necessary yardage each time after taking a direct snap.

The players and the joyous Longhorn fans were convinced after Swoopes winning touchdown run in the second overtime period that the Texas Longhorns are for real this year.

And to remember my father Big Joe’s famous quote: “One game a season does not make.”

A positive change that’s way over due COLBURN: FISHING Capt. Dickie Colburn For The Record At some point, virtually every day, I check out the water in the river and bayous at several locations around the area even when I have no intention of fishing.Water clarity, tide movement and the effect of a big wind from any direction all figure into planning my next fishing trip.

The most enjoyable part of that daily milk run, however, is visiting with the folks that frequent those same spots hoping to catch a few fish.There is nothing sophisticated about their approach and they are not species specific.There is no doubt that they have great patience and love to fish, but their ultimate objective is bringing something home to eat.They are not there to unwind or relax!

A plastic stringer may contain everything from small bream and croaker to a mudcat while a five gallon bucket could possibly hold a crab or two as well.Depending on the location, you will occasionally see a nice slot red, trout, flounder or bass as well, but those days are rare indeed.

My final stop is usually the Public ramp on Simmons Drive and last Wednesday was no exception.A dark cloud was approaching the river and it was just starting to rain when I parked the truck.The parking lot was empty as the smarter folks had already packed up and left.

A southeast wind stiffened, but the rain quickly passed and I was surprised to see two youngsters running back down to the bulkhead with a single rod and reel.The smaller of the

two untied a stringer holding a couple of bass and several small bream while the other youngster cast parallel to the rock strewn shoreline.

Having used up their available stretch of cover, they cautiously walked back in my direction to start over again.Satisfied that I posed no threat, they questioned why I would stand in the rain and watch them fish. It was a legitimate question that failed to yield a satisfactory answer.

When the designated fishermen immediately caught another small bass, they both knelt down and measured it on a broken plastic measuring board.The bass made the minimum length and they excitedly added it to their meager bounty.

“Did you ever eat a bass?” asked the eldest of the two as he straightened the plastic worm on his hook.“One of those tournament fishermen

that fish here every week gave us some of his used worms and this measuring board and said that we can keep these bass now.They taste as good as croaker and bream.”

“We never caught any we could keep before,” he added.“I am glad they changed the rules.”I was surprised that he could even cast using a bail type spinning reel attached to a casting rod with electrical tape, but the fact that they had caught those small bream on a six inch worm was even more perplexing.

“I caught those perch on a little tiny spinnerbait, but I hung it up and lost it,” he explained.“Everything would bite it, but we don’t have any money to buy baits and I don’t know where you would get one anyway.”

With less than an hour of daylight remaining and my garage not that far away, I asked how much longer they intended

Local hunters prepare for teal season opening OUTDOORS Capt. Chuck Uzzle For The Record In what has become a highly anticipated yearly ritual, wingshooters from all over Texas will make there way to the fields and marshes as the 20162017 waterfowl hunting season officially gets underway.

The teal season opener has become a real gathering of sorts, almost a social get together if you will. Hunters eagerly awaiting each new hunting season head to the fields for their first taste of what is in store and this one looks promising thanks to some recent rains. Both fields and marshes are abundant with life and fresh growth, a plus for some and a curse for others.

The early teal season is a great September option for waterfowlers who want to get a jump on their hunting opportunities. The 16 day season opens statewide on Saturday

and runs through Sept. 25th. Shooting hours are 30 minutes before sunrise to sunset and the bag limit is 6 teal, any species. Heavy rains in recent weeks have made the marshes flush with new vegetation and fresh water, both of which should really help the hunters as well as the birds.

With the promise of the years first cool fronts coming in September it is understandable that the hunters have high hopes. So far nature and the weatherman have cooperated, at least up until this point. Now all we need is some cooperation from the birds and no crazy weather that would cause catastrophic changes in the outlook. September has been an active month historically in the Gulf of Mexico, hopefully we will spared any problems.

The outlook for Teal hunters is outstanding as the numbers of birds is close to an all time high. Local scouting reports

have been favorable as a huge push of birds made their way into our part of the state during the past full moon. The first cool front will help usher more teal south as they continue along their migration towards Mexico and beyond. Rice fields and areas along the prairies that are holding water are seeing huge concentrations of teal while the same can be said for the coastal marshes. I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see the public hunting areas along the coast do very well for this weekends opener, especially after a recent scouting trip I made.

A few things to remember about the early teal season that shouldn’t be ignored. First and foremost is safety for everyone involved in the hunt. It’s warm outside and that means all the creepy crawlies will still be hanging around. Alligators and snakes will certainly make their presence felt so be on the lookout, especially if you bring a dog. Mosquitoes will be another concern and with the West Nile Virus lurking around

it’s important to take proper precautions so don’t leave home without repellant.

Now as far as hunting goes don’t make it too complicated, teal are usually rather easy to decoy so scouting is more important than decoy placement or calling. Be in area where the birds want to be and you should be fine. If you feel like calling a whistle is the best call you can have on your lanyard, a few easy “peeps” on a whistle is often all you need to get teal to commit to your spread. The shooting can be fast and furious at times so always be aware of those around you, no bird is worth an accident. The forecast is good for opening morning so hopefully the birds cooperate, there are certainly enough of them out there to make this one a memorable opening day.

to fish.“We fish until dark if they bite, he replied.“We only live about a mile from here.”

Twenty minutes later, as promised, I returned and much to my surprise they were still walking the bulkhead.They were equally surprised that I returned and trotted over to meet me.

“Put this reel on your casting rod,” I advised upon stepping out of my truck, “and put your reel on this spinning rod.Now, both of you can fish.” The new rod and reel was appreciated, but it was a card full of white 1/8^th ounce beetle spins that really made their wait worth-

while. “That’s the magic bait,” they shouted.

A plastic coffee can full of Crème worms in several colors and more worm hooks and slip sinkers was only icing on the cake. After adding a bulk spool of 12 pound test mono to their arsenal, we talked a few minutes about fishing and life in general.

They refused my offer to throw their bike in the back of the truck and shorten the trip home, but not before assuring me that they would be back the next day if I would like to join them. I proudly accepted the invitation!

Pope Francis: Mother Teresa shows us our ‘vocation to charity’ Hannah Brockhaus Catholic News Agency

Vatican City.- More than just helping people in need, the Christian life must include the roots of charity, putting our entire lives at the service of Christ, as Mother Teresa did, Pope Francis said Sunday.

“The task which the Lord gives us ... is the vocation to charity in which each of Christ’s disciples puts his or her entire life at his service, so to grow each day in love,” the Pope said in his homily for the Canonization Mass of Mother Teresa of Calcutta Sept. 4.

It is estimated that there were 120,000 people in attendance at the Mass, according to the Vatican Press Office.

Referencing the question: “Who can learn the counsel of God?” in the Book of Wisdom, Francis said our task is to realize the call of God and then to do his will. But in order to do his will, we must first find out what it is.

“We find the answer in the same passage of the Book of Wisdom: ‘People were taught what pleases you,’” he said.

What we are called to do, therefore, Pope Francis said, is “to translate into concrete acts that which we invoke in prayer and profess in faith.”

Following Jesus is not for the weak, the Pope continued, but is a serious task, although one “filled with joy. It takes a certain daring and courage to recognize the divine Master in the poorest of the poor and to give oneself in their service.”

The many volunteers and workers of mercy present in St. Peter’s Square Sunday for the Jubilee of Mercy and for Mother Teresa’s canonization are like the “large crowds” traveling with Jesus in the Gospel of Luke, the Pope said. They make visible Christ’s concrete love for each person.

“How many hearts have been comforted by volunteers! How many hands they have held; how many tears they have wiped away; how much love has been poured out in hidden, humble and selfless service!” he said.

Mother Teresa’s life was given to this service. She was committed to defending life, especially the “unborn and those abandoned and discarded,” Francis said. She was “a generous dispenser of divine mercy.”

“She was committed to defending life, ceaselessly proclaiming that the unborn are the weakest, the smallest, the most vulnerable,” he added.

Just as Christ has bent down to help us, we must bend down to help the Christ found in those in need. “Wherever someone is reaching out, asking for a helping hand in order to get up, this is where our presence – and the presence of the Church which sustains and offers hope – must be.”

Speaking of Mother Teresa, Pope Francis noted how she “bowed down before those who were spent … seeing in them their God-

given dignity.”

“Today, I pass on this emblematic figure of womanhood and of consecrated life to the whole world of volunteers: may she be your model of holiness!” he said.

“Let us carry her smile in our hearts and give it to those whom we meet along our journey, especially those who suffer. In this way, we will open up opportunities of joy and hope for our many brothers and sisters who are discouraged and who stand in need of understanding and tenderness.”

After the Mass, Pope Francis continued immediately with praying the Sunday Angelus, first greeting and thanking everyone who took part, especially the Missionaries of Charity, whom he called the “spiritual family of Mother Teresa.”

He also greeted the various national delegations, pilgrims, volunteers and workers of mercy, and anyone who, through media, joined in the celebration from around the world.

“I entrust you to the protection of Mother Teresa: she teaches you to contemplate and adore Jesus Crucified every day, to recognize him and serve him in our brothers in need.”

The Pope concluded his Angelus message by asking for prayers especially for Sister Isabel, 51, a Spanish missionary nun who was shot and killed Sept. 2 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti during what appears to have been a robbery.

Pope Francis prayed for an end to violence, and for greater security around the world.

“We also remember other Sisters that recently have experienced violence in other countries,” he prayed, doing so “by addressing in prayer the Virgin Mary, Mother and Queen of all saints.”

Bass Anglers Staff Report For The Record

with access between 30 minutes before daylight and 30 minutes after dusk. Anglers will be able to use the properties for bank fishing and to launch nonmotorized watercraft such as rafts, kayaks and canoes for the purpose of fishing.

For additional information and directions to these leased fishing access areas and others throughout the state, including site specific restrictions, visit http://tpwd.texas.gov/fishboat/ fish/recreational/rivers/.

AUSTIN—Anglers targeting prized Guadalupe bass now have greater access to prime fishing along three Central Texas rivers, thanks to temporary leased access agreements between private landowners and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD).

The leased access sites are located on the lower Colorado, Llano and San Marcos rivers and were made possible with funding through the U.S. Department of Agriculture Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program. These rivers are known for their excellent Guadalupe bass fishing and, in particular, the lower Colorado between Austin and LaGrange is considered by many to be the pre-eminent trophy fishery for this species.

The world record Guadalupe bass (3.71 pounds) was caught here in March 2014. TPWD currently has three leased access sites and two Paddling Trails in this stretch.

The leases provide anglers
