Federal Imelda aid awaits damage tally Dave Rogers

For The Record

“Skated” was the word most often heard in the aftermath of last week’s Tropical Depression Imelda.

Unless you were among the unlucky ones that didn’t.

Seven out of eight City of Orange city council members and employees polled Monday night escaped home flooding from the storm that dumped more than 20 inches in a 24-hour period on much of the county, more than 30 inches on some.

Jennifer Krummel, assistant to the city manager, was near tears, however.

“For the last six weeks, I’ve bragged to all my friends that I wasn’t having to brush my teeth over the bathtub anymore,” said the resident of the Cedar Ridge subdivi-

sion on Highway 62, near Mauriceville.

She had just finished renovation of a home submerged two Ardoin years ago in the nation’s worst recorded rain event, Tropical Storm Harvey.

Imelda ranks No. 5 alltime. While Harvey was credited with 60 inches of rain over a four-day period in 2017, Imelda produced 31.68 inches of rain overnight Sept.

18-19 on Mauriceville, according to meteorologist Patrick Vaughn. The total was more than 40 inches in western Jefferson County.

“I’d have bet anything that I’d never see another flood like Harvey,” Krummel said.

Wrath over grapes calmed by council Dave Rogers

For The Record

One of Orange’s fastest growing small businesses quickly has fermented into a wrath over grapes.

But a Monday night Orange City Council workshop appeared to chill the whine between the owner/operator of Free State Cellars winery and owners of three neighboring homes.

Neighbors Myra Alexander, John and Susan Shields, and Andy and Simmye Griffin wrote to the city in August requesting a total of 29 “no parking,” “Trucks Prohibited” and 25-mph speed limit signs for the Broadmoor Terrace subdivision.

At the end of Monday night’s special meeting at the library meeting room, the homeowners agreed to three new road signs.

During the meeting, they

complained the popularity of the winery that opened at 4702 Tejas Parkway in July had created unsafe driving and parking conditions.

“They have been parking on the street, they have been speeding, and we just don’t want trucks on Lakeshore and Willow Streets,” said John Shields, a homeowner on Tejas Drive.

Lakeshore and Willow Drive join Tejas Drive and Evergreen Drive to make up the small subdivision.

Dana Swope, one of six family owners of Free State Cellars, points out the small mixed-use neighborhood of Broadmoor Terrace has seven residences and five businesses.

“The proposed addition of 29 signs to a neighborhood of seven residences is frankly absurd,” she wrote in late WRATH OVER Page 3A

canceled or postponed by Imelda were the Lions Club Fall Carnival, which was supposed to start its twoweekend run Wednesday, and Tuesday’s county commissioners’ meeting.

The carnival has been pushed back to the weekends of Oct. 16-19 and Oct. 23-26 and the commissioners will meet Thursday morning at 10 a.m.

Joel Ardoin, Orange County emergency management coordinator, was with workers from the Texas Department of Emergency Management, FEMA and the Small Business Administration Tuesday evening.

They were going street to street personally verifying online damage assessments.

Additionally, teams from the county in Sheriff’s Office

and Road and Bridge Department vehicles will be out documenting damage by taking photographs and using drones during the day.

Ardoin said his unofficial count was up to 2,000 homes with water damage, most occurring west of FM 1442, with the worst flooding in Vidor, and the Mauriceville and Orangefield communities.

“The community is dealing with massive flooding,” Stephen Patterson, Orangefield schools superintendent, said. “Our schools haven’t flooded but lots of people have lost their home again.

“It’s a very sad deal.”

School officials reset after another storm Dave Rogers

Little Cypress-Mauriceville school officials are hoping the third time is the charm when it comes to rebuilding Mauriceville schools.

Orangefield schools officials are hoping the roads are dry for Thursday’s bus runs and school officials at West Orange-Cove and Bridge City are just thankful their schoolrooms were spared water damage.

“While we are very thankful that our campuses were spared from damages, our thoughts are with all of neighboring communities that were not as fortunate,” Bridge City ISD posted on its website over the weekend.

Both LCM and Orangefield were set to resume classes Thursday.

Orangefield ISD was spared flooding at its buildings but had to delay its return to classes from Wednesday to Thursday because of water on roads that caused “significant safety considerations for school bus operations.”

Some students from both Mauriceville Elementary and all from Mauriceville Middle School will be moving into new digs for the fourth time in little over two years Thursday when LCMCISD resumes classes

A massive district-wide school bonds project was nearly complete in the summer of 2017 when Tropical Storm Harvey damaged all but two of the district’s campuses.

After weeks out of school, students attended for only half-days and shared classrooms. Many of the district’s younger students spent a semester in makeshift classrooms at North Orange Baptist Church.

The new plan is for all middle school students to be housed at LCM high

school.

Orange Countian nabs lead role in “Spindletop: The Beginning” Penny Leleux

For The Record

Being retired Navy, John Frederick loves it when he can land a military role. He snagged the part of Corp.

Henry in the short film, “Spindletop: The Beginning” which filmed in Woodville at Heritage Village over the weekend. It is a tale of a young Pattillo Higgins, who was a troublemaker and prankster. Higgins is the one that persuaded Anthony Lucas to drill in Beaumont resulting in the “Lucas Gusher” in 1901.

Frederick’s character is a Union soldier in pursuit of the mischievous youth in this first phase of a planned

future feature.

“Spindletop has been a lot of fun,” said Frederic. “Even though it is a short film, it has a lot of characteristics of a feature film.”

“I think June Garcia (the casting director) did an excellent job of selecting the cast for this film. Keegan [Bouton] is spot on the right person for Pattillo Higgins.

He has been a blast to work with. Parker [White] has been fun to work with, my Private.”

Frederick said Jason Leal, the writer/director of Spindletop had done an excellent job on the story of young Pattillo Higgins.

“I’ve enjoyed working on this film even though it has been extremely hot. There were some rough conditions…that wool uniform.”

His costume was a wool jacket with a heavy, cotton, long sleeved undershirt and wool pants. “It was more like a wintertime outfit with us shooting in 90 degree weath-

“The rest of the crew was unbelievable, there was the PA making sure we had water all the time… I drank so much water today that I’m going to explode here in a minute, probably.”

He laughed.

Frederick had nothing but good things to say of everyone, including Gladys Thomas the costume mistress and Allison Pierce and Jordan Baldwin in hair and makeup.

“Those two girls, oh my god, they are the ones that made this film fun.”

“Heritage Village, it was almost like he wrote that script for it,” said Frederick. He LEAD ROLE Page 2A

LSCO expands footprint in downtown Orange . . .

Lamar State College Orange is expanding it’s footprint in downtown Orange by acquiring the former Capital One Bank Building.

President Thomas A Johnson has signed the paperwork on the 14,661-square-foot building and as of today the structure officially belongs to Lamar State College Orange. “ The acquisition of the space makes a wonderful addition to the LSCO campus and we are looking forward to the great things we can accomplish with this expansion.”

The glass building sits on 1.6 acres at the corner of 5th Street and Green Avenue and has been vacant for many years. It will play a role in college’s new 10-year master plan to construct a state-of-the-art Academic Center. LSCO purchased the building with appropriated funds at a fraction of the appraised value thanks to a generous gift from Capital One. LSCO continues to look for opportunities to expand its reach and offerings to provide the best learning environments for students and the community.

Lead Role: Spindletop the Beginning said as soon as he walked in the little town he could see everything in the script.

This is not Frederick’s first role. He’s relatively new to acting, coming up on two years, but he has picked up some interesting parts in that short time.

“I retired from the Navy after 20 years in 2011. I retired as a Chief Petty Officer, E7,” said Frederick. He said he mainly worked with sonar.

When he got out, he tried working at some of the plants and other places, but just couldn’t get into the civilian mindset and decided he was

going to stay retired.

“I’ve loved movies forever.

Me and my boys will have entire conversations that are

pictures of his background work. He started posting pictures with Stallone and Swartzeneger.”

Frederick asked, “Man, how did you get these pictures?”

The guy’s reply was, “I was on ‘Expendables 3.”

Frederick told him how being in movies had been a dream of his. The man put him in touch with his casting director who put him as background on a feature for four days in Dallas so he could see if he liked it.

“It was incredible! It blew me away to see how they set these. It was in a big arena. It was incredible to see how they do the lighting, these big cranes, the actors.” He said, “That’s what I want to do, right there.

Frederick said after all the connections he made the emails started rolling in and he started going on auditions

left and right.

He got a part on an episode of “Disappeared” from a head shot because he looked just like the real person. After sending in a requested self tape, he got his first lead role, but none of his dialogue was heard. The story was narrated.

Frederick then captured a principal role in Tom Hank’s upcoming feature, “Greyhound,” to be released in May 2020. It is another period piece set in World War II. Frederick not only had a part in the movie, but as a retired Navy Chief, he was utilized as a technical advisor on Navy procedure. Being under a nondisclosure agreement, he can’t really divulge any more about the film until it comes out.

He was also on seven episodes of season five of “NCIS: New Orleans.” “I never did get any dialogue,” he said.

You can spot him, barely, as a waiter in the Copa Ca-

bana in “The Green Book.”

His most interesting shoot was for a Chinese production company. Frederick said he was the only non Chinese member in the cast. The entire script was in Chinese, except for his part and because of the translation, it didn’t really make sense, so he was allowed to rewrite them to read more accurately.

The producers would then send him clips asking what he said in that part. He typed the dialogue so they could get it translated into Chinese for subtitles.

Frederick also played a bad guy in the upcoming short film “Shhh” that was just recently shot in Orange County and is now in post production.

There is one shoot day left for Spindletop on a location in Kountze. Frederick will then be on the hunt for his next role.

Wrath over grapes August in response to her neighbors’ request for signs.

Speaking in support of Free State Cellars Monday with Swope, were Robert Curry, a customer; and Jennifer McConnell, whose Tru Colors Art & Design sells Tshirts to the winery.

“It’s an upscale place in Orange we have needed for a long time,” Curry said.

“They support other small businesses in Orange,” McConnell said.

Patrick Pullen, mayor pro tem, ran the meeting in the absence of Mayor Larry Spears, Jr. Pullen revealed Spears’ father died Monday.

Council member Terrie Salter was also absent.

Both in her August letter and again Monday night, Swope explained that parking had been a problem in the early weeks of the winery’s operation.

She said the winery hosted unexpectly large weekend crowds of 150 or so both during pre-opening special events as early as April and through its public opening in July.

But she said the winery is expanding on-site parking by removing five rows of vineyards for more parking spaces and now has 150 parking spaces.

That comes thanks to obtaining permission from neighborhood businesses to park cars in their lots during the Friday and Saturday evenings which are the busiest for Free State Cellars.

She said that in July the winery hired Orange Police Capt. Weldon Smith to park cars and shuttle customers from the remote lots in a golf cart she purchased for the job.

“Since they’ve called me to help, no one has parked on the streets,” Capt. Smith said. “I’ve never seen anyone speeding.”

“I am not your enemy here,” Swope said to the neighbors Monday. “I’m not against you. I’m trying to solve problems as quickly as they come up.”

Pullen, a retired OPD commander, explained to residents that parking on the street is not against the law in their neighborhood.

Kelvin Knauf, acting city manager, said the winery has been in existence since before current parking regulations were created in 1984.

Free State Cellars was previously operated as Pineywoods Winery for nearly three decades. The Swope family bought the property in 2016 and turned it from a boutique into an upscale hangout open Thursday through Sunday.

From The Creaux’s Nest A STORM CAME “WAS I DREAMING” I woke up Sunday morning confused, was I in the twightlight zone or had I dreamed the events of the last few days?

Imelda, a rain carrying storm, had hit the Gulf Coast area, from Houston to Cameron, Louisiana. She was no Harvey generally but to those affected she was just as damaging. I heard stories about families who had just moved into their Harvey repaired homes that were flooded again. In some cases folks that had dodged Harvey damage were struck with over-flowing rivers. I toured the area and found many vehicles were lost, while hundreds of other residents had parked their cars and trucks on the highway road embankment. Thankfully, a lot of areas were spared that had been washed away by hurricanes Ike and Harvey. The most improved drainage in the area is the city of Bridge City. My rain gage topped off at 10 inches so I don’t know how much rain fell in the B.C. area. What I do know is that much less rain, 10 or so years ago, would have flooded 40 percent of the homes. I just saw one or two blocks on Elizabeth Street with blockades, and as far as I know not one house flooded unless it came from Cow Bayou that I’m not aware of. The Bridge City schools were the first in the county that had school and ran buses on all routes on Monday. The largest of all the many improvements that the City of Bridge City has made over the last 10 years is solving the terrible drainage that the city experienced over many years. I see a few problems but boy, they are minor in comparison. The City of Orange also seems to be getting a better handle on their drainage problems.

As long as the Sabine River doesn’t overflow, rainfall is handled better today than in years past. The elevation is so low Orange will never solve the problem completely. I don’t know how the problem can be solved in Mauriceville. Water is blocked in by highways and railroads and can’t drain to a waterway. It would be a major undertaking but it could be done with underground drainage to major holding tanks, etc. I understand that Bridge City requires all new construction to be at a certain elevation. That requirement might be a good idea for all cities, as well as the county. Massive construction of new subdivisions throughout the county has helped create the flooding problems. I don’t recall nearly as much flooding 60 years ago, even through hurricanes. Common flooding of today didn’t exist. Elevation is the answer. That’s my take. I guess I wasn’t dreaming but some will say I’m still in the twightlight zone.*****I have to move on. Come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm.

“PETE” ENJOYED PUBLIC SERVICE I was sorry to learn that Mayor Pete Runnels had to resign as mayor of Pinehurst because of health problems. I wasn’t surprised however, just saddened. I had seen it coming for sometime. Having known Pete since he was nine years old, I could read him like a book. From his visits, over the last year, actually going back to when he wanted to run for county judge, I noticed that his thoughts would drift. I advised him to give up the plan to run. He wanted to be involved and that’s when he signed on to help Dean Crooks get elected. Judge Runnels, over the years, has given much of himself to his county and community and as mayor of Pinehurst. Mayor pro-tem Don Mohon has correctly suggested that Mayor Runnels should be honored for his service. The former county judge had also served as Orange County Democratic Chairman when the county played a big part in state and national politics. Pete was once a delegate to the national convention where he made friends with Texas Governor Dolph Briscoe, head of the delegation. That friendship later led to the benefit of Orange County. There was a time when statewide candidates came to the county and Pete was one of the first people they sought out. I wish only the best for my friend of nearly 70 years. I’ve admired Pete not only for his public service but most of all for the constant care he gave his wife Charmin, who for many years has been a resident of nursing homes. Many years ago she had a stroke and Pete has seened to it that she is well cared for. He visited her most days and often took her out on weekends. There is a lot more to Joseph “Pete” Runnels, the man, than people realize. His grandfather and father were pioneer politicians and his mother Inez gave much of herself to help others. One of her endeavors was to help the poor or uneducated citizens get their drivers license at no charge. He has two siblings, Barbara and Kay, who were raised in Orange but have since moved away. Pete stayed. He loves Orange County and never wanted to live anywhere else. Today he lives with his oldest son in the Dallas area. It’s hard for me to imagine Pete not being around. He was always everywhere and visited multiple places in the community everyday. I’ll miss seeing him and he is in my prayers.

TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME 10 Years Ago-2009 Some significant events take place this week. The Bridge City School District holds commemorative ceremony honoring Roy M. Hatton Elementary at 10:35 Wednesday, Sept. 30. The school, along with Sims Elementary, will be demolished. The late Bill Townes, a former school board member, won a contest naming the school Roy M. Hatton after a pioneer who served on the first school board. Hatton, however, did not donate the land for the school as many believe. His namesake is grandson Roy Michael Hatton, a banker in Beaumont and a Bridge City

native. *****Lamar State College-Orange celebrates its 40th anniversary Wednesday. A reception honoring first president, Dr. Joe Ben Welch, who played a large part in getting the school off to a good start. Also being honored is former Sen. Carl Parker, one of our local guys, who always looked after the home folks. Parker is one of the smartest people I’ve known. If not for Sen. Parker’s efforts setting up Lamar-Orange and Lamar-Port Arthur as state schools both would have community college status.

This would mean the schools would be supported by a taxing district paid for by local citizens and would just be a shadow of itself. Parker’s bill attached the school to the Texas State System along with Texas, TCU, A&M and others. Local taxpayers have been saved millions of dollars. *****Former State Rep. Ron Lewis is also being honored. He is primarily responsible for the establishment of the Lamar library bearing his name. His friendship with Gov.

The recognition of these men is well deserved.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Agnes Boudreaux is da church gossip her. She appointed herself monitor of da church’s morals and kept sticking her nose in everybody’s business. Several members of Rev. Gaspards church didn’t approve of Agnes’ behavior but fearing her wicked tongue dey said notin dem.

Agnes made a mistake however. She accused Joe Comeaux, a new member of da church, of being an alcoholic drunk him after she saw his old pickup truck parked in front of Tee-Boy’s Bar for several hours. Agnes told Comeaux and utta members, “Dat it’s easy to see dat everyone would know wat Comeaux was doing him dere so long.

Joe, a man of few words him, stared at Agnes for a moment, said nuttin, just turned and walked off. Later dat night Comeaux quietly parked his old pickup in front of Agnes’ house den he walked home. He left da old truck dere all night. (You gotta love dat Comeaux.)

C’EST TOUT

Trump’s disinformation campaign to hurt Biden Trump must really be concerned about the run against former VP Joe Biden, as well he should be. Joe is right; he would beat Trump like a drum. Trump and Rudy have fabricated the Biden Ukraine story. The Wall Street Journal, owned by Rupert Murdoch, who also owns FOX News, broke a story that Trump, eight times, had asked the Ukraine president to come up with some dirt on Biden’s son Hunter, where there isn’t any dirt. Trump won’t call the WSJ fake news, if he loses Murdoch that means he’ll lose Sean Hannity, “the venom thrower.”

Trump has the most corrupt administration in my lifetime, since day one, when five cabinet members were convicted. There is no line Trump won’t cross, but on this one he might have gone too far. The call for impeachment will get louder. Trump and his shyster A.G. Bill Barr will continue to stonewall. There will be a price to be paid, even if it’s after Trump leaves office. Something Rudy Giuliani might think about is that Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen once said he would take a bullet for Trump.

Now he is serving a three year prison sentence. He became the fall guy. Rudy has much in common with Cohen. History might repeat itself. There’s a book out call “Everything Trump Touches Dies.” Many bodies are left in Trump’s wake.*****I’ve gotta shut down. Shop our Family of Advertisers and tell them we sent you. Thanks for your time. Take care and God bless.

Changing definition of risk in retirement ... consider this Provided by Ian E. James, CRPC®, AAMS® President, Financial Advisor Capital Financial Group www.409Wealth.com 409-792-0179

income tax penalty may apply (unless an exception applies).1 e march of time affords us ever-changing perspectives on life, and that is never truer than during retirement.

During your accumulation years, you may have categorized your risk as “conservative,” “moderate,” or “aggressive,” and that guided how your portfolio was built. Maybe you concerned yourself with finding the “best-performing funds,” even though you knew past performance does not guarantee future results.

What occurs with many retirees is a change in mindset – it’s less about finding the “bestperforming fund” and more about consistent performance.

It may be less about a risk continuum – that stretches from conservative to aggressive – and more about balancing the objectives of maximizing your income and sustaining it for a lifetime.

You may even find yourself willing to forgo return potential for steady income.

A change in your mindset may drive changes in how you shape your portfolio and the investments you choose to fill it.

Let’s examine how this might look at an individual level.

Still Believe. During your working years, you understood the short-term volatility of the stock market, but accepted it for its growth potential over longer time periods. You’re now in retirement and still believe in that concept. In fact, you know stocks remain important to your financial strategy over a 30-year or more retirement period.

But you’ve also come to understand that withdrawals from your investment portfolio have the potential to accelerate the depletion of your assets when investment values are declining.

How you define your risk tolerance may not have changed, but

Ian E. James you understand the new risks introduced by retirement. Consequently, it’s not so much about managing your exposure to stocks but considering new strategies that adapt to this new landscape. Keep in mind that the return and principal value of stock prices will fluctuate as market conditions change. And shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. is is a hypothetical example used for illustrative purposes only.

Shift the Risk. For instance, it may mean that you hold more cash than you ever did when you were earning a paycheck. It also may mean that you consider investments that shift the risk of market uncertainty to another party, such as an insurance company. Many retirees choose annuities for just that reason. e guarantees of an annuity contract depend on the issuing company’s claims-paying ability. Annuities have contract limitations, fees, and charges, including account and administrative fees, underlying investment management fees, mortality and expense fees, and charges for optional benefits.

Most annuities have surrender fees that are usually highest if you take out the money in the initial years of the annuity contract.

Withdrawals and income payments are taxed as ordinary income. If a withdrawal is made prior to age 59½, a 10% federal

Expectations high for archery-only season Sept. 28 opening Staff Report For e Record AUSTIN – e hot, dry conditions that have been gripping most of Texas could make Saturday’s archery-only white-tailed deer season opener a challenge for bowhunters, yet those who know how to work the conditions can still find good hunting. For the first time this fall, hunters are required to report all antlerless deer harvested in 21 south-central Texas counties—see details below.

“Although dry conditions should encourage deer to frequent feeders more consistently and more often, the hot temperatures may curtail movement during much of the day except for the periods around dawn and dusk,” said Alan Cain, TPWD white-tailed deer program leader. “Until cooler temperatures arrive and deer movement picks up hunters may consider using game cameras to narrow down peak deer movement near their favorite hunting location and increase chances of success.”

Texas boasts a robust white-tailed deer population of about 5.3 million deer which should contribute to hunter success this season. Despite the deterioration in range conditions over the last several months with the 100-degree weather and wind, Cain notes “Hunters should expect an excellent deer season with above average antler quality and fawn recruitment.” Cain explained that good rains early in the fall of 2018 that set the stage for an excellent crop of winter weeds lasting well

into the spring. e excellent habitat conditions continued into early July and were critical in providing the nutrition bucks needed to maximize antler growth.

While the archery-only season kicks off this weekend and runs through Nov. 1, the general gun season opener is still more than a month away on Nov. 2. A special youth-only weekend season is set for Oct. 26-27. e general season runs through Jan. 5, 2019 in North Texas and Jan. 19, 2019 in South Texas.

A late youth-only season is also slated for Jan. 6-19, 2019. For additional late season deer hunting opportunities and county specific regulations, consult the 2019-2020 Outdoor Annual of hunting and fishing regulations.

New this fall, hunters in parts of south-central Texas will be required to report all antlerless deer harvest in Austin, Bastrop, Caldwell, Colorado, Dewitt, Fayette, Gonzales, Guadalupe, Karnes, Lavaca, Lee, Waller, Washington, and Wilson. Counties also included in that change are Goliad, Jackson, Victoria, and Wharton counties north of U.S. Highway 59 and Comal, Hays, and Travis east of IH-35.

Any antlerless deer harvested during the archery, youth-only, muzzleloader, and the 4 doe-days during the general season is required to be reported to the department within 24 hours of harvest using either the “My Texas Hunt Harvest” mobile app (for iOS and Android) or on TPWD’s My Texas Hunt Harvest web page.

T e x a s white tail deer hunters will get their first opportunity to chase that buck they have been dreaming of since last season ended as the 2019-20 season gets underway this Saturday. e archery only season should be a good bench mark as to how the bizarre weather patterns that have plagued Texas this year will have affected the whitetail population. Going from very dry conditions to record rains and floods will no doubt cause some difficulties for a few hunters, especially in East Texas.

shooting and knowing their weapon. Most bow hunters routinely shoot throughout the year and have a much greater understanding of what their weapon is capable of doing. e sport of archery hunting is exciting but you do need to pay attention to the details and variables that go along with this style of hunting and that’s where good instruction and service really come in handy. Luckily for us here locally we have Precision Archery in Bridge City to take care of those problems and provide service that is second to none. If you have a problem with your bow or need some help concerning the sport of bow hunting this is the place to go, they are the best at what they do.

Now as this writing it looks like the forecast will be not so favorable for the weekend, low’s in the upper 70’s and high’s in the mid to upper 80’s. No it’s not ultra cold like most hunters would like but it’s also not 90 degrees plus with a gazillion percent humidity either and that in itself is a bonus. Now I am not 100 percent sure yet and I will need to do some checking but according to several folks I have spoken with the almanac says we are in for a cold winter. at forecast may be music to many hunters ears but that remains to be seen if comes true.

Embracing the Day God Has Made

Carolyn Mahaney DesiringGod.org

Nine years ago this month, my dad went home to be with the Lord. One of my sweetest memories of him is how he loved to sing hymns. Whether he was fixing stuff around the house or leading our church’s congregational singing on Sunday mornings, I remember my dad’s strong baritone lifted in praise. Among his all-time favorite hymns was Horatio Spafford’s “It Is Well.”

Even now, I can picture him singing, with great gusto, “When peace like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll, Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, “It is well, it is well, with my soul.”

As a child, the words of this hymn held little meaning for me.

I knew nothing yet of the billowing sorrows of life in a fallen world. But now, I think I understand why “It Is Well” was beloved by my dad. I too have felt pain and sadness; I too have experienced suffering and loss. But I have also tasted joy in the midst of grief. I have discovered, as my dad must have known, that it is possible to feel sad and happy at the same time; or as the apostle Paul put it, to be “sorrowful, yet always rejoicing” (2 Corinthians 6:10).

How can we experience these contrary emotions at the same

time? How can we learn to be “always rejoicing” in the midst of sorrow? We need the power of the Holy Spirit, to be sure. But Scripture teaches us to cultivate joy in the midst of sorrow through the daily habit of looking for God’s good gifts (Ecclesiastes 2:24–26). Each day, our heavenly Father gives comfort for today’s sorrows and blessings for today’s joys. Happiness in him comes one day at a time.

1. Don’t wish for yesterday.

Wishing for “the good ol’ days” or longing for “the way things used to be” will smother God’s gifts of joy for today. Here’s the thing about nostalgia: it’s often a cover for discontent, for dissatisfaction with God’s good gifts in the present. If we live in the past, wishing things were like that again, longing for some blessing we no longer have, we miss out on the joy and delight God has for us today. That’s why Solomon warns us, “Say not, ‘Why were the former days better than these?’ For it is not from wisdom that you ask this” (Ecclesiastes 7:10).

We often forget that yesterday had its sorrows too. We are also prone to forget the sustaining grace of God that carried us through those sorrows. If the present trouble is pressing hard, we may be tempted to think life was better before this trial. But longing for the past does not lead to wisdom or joy. So, let’s not wish for yesterday, but wisely thank God for yesterday’s mer-

cies that are new again today (Lamentations 3:21–23).

2. Don’t long for tomorrow.

Sometimes we try to escape today’s sorrows by imagining a happier life tomorrow. Our impulse is to think that circumstances should be getting better soon, and then we will be joyful again. We conjure up images of the conflict magically sorted, the sickness miraculously healed, the work finished, the children all grown.

We tend to think, • When I finally graduate, then I’ll be happy.

• If I get married, then I’ll be content.

• If I have a baby, then my life will be complete.

• When I get through mothering little ones, then I’ll feel rested.

• If I survive my life with teenagers, then I’ll be free.

• When I get through this trial, then my life will be good.

Not true! Tomorrow might not have today’s trouble, but it will have trouble of its own (Matthew 6:34). If we’re always imagining a trouble-free future, we miss out on the joy God has for us today.

Sufficient for the day is its own trouble, and sufficient for the day are God’s gracious gifts of joy (James 1:17).

3. Live expectantly today.

If we are living for the future or pining for the past, we will be crippled by today’s trouble, and wind up bereft of today’s blessings. We cannot heed this well-

known biblical exhortation: “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24).

How do we rejoice and be glad in this sorrowful day? By following the psalmist’s example of prayer and watchfulness for God’s blessings: “O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch” (Psalm 5:3).

When I awaken to troubles aplenty and take them to the Lord in prayer and watch for his blessings throughout the day, I am frequently surprised and delighted by God’s goodness, and my heart is filled with a joy that transcends my circumstances.

The sorrowful yet ever-rejoicing Elisabeth Elliot learned this lesson over a lifetime.

I want to put it down right here that I have certainly “tasted the joy.” I cannot imagine a more wonderfully blessed life than mine. Faithfulness of a loving Father — that’s what I’ve found, every day of every week of every year, and it gets better. (Keep a Quiet Heart, 73) 4. Remember the greatest day ever.

But what if we pray and watch and still see no apparent blessings for this day of trouble? We must return to the place where we received the greatest gift of all. On a single day, over two thousand years ago now, God sent his perfect Son to die for our sins. He took our greatest trouble — the wrath of God we de-

served — upon himself. He bore our griefs and carried our sorrows, the very ones we feel so acutely this day (Isaiah 53:4).

No matter what sorrow we may be feeling today, we can sing (with great gusto!) this happy truth:

On September 19, 2019, Entergy Texas, Inc. (“Entergy Texas”) filed an Application with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (“Commission”) for authority to reconcile its eligible fuel and purchased power costs incurred during the period of April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2019 (“Reconciliation Period”). This filing was made pursuant to Section 36.203 of the Texas Utilities Code and 16 Texas Administrative Code § 25.236. The Commission has assigned Docket No. 49916 to the Application.

In its Application, Entergy Texas seeks to reconcile approximately $1.613 billion of fuel and purchased power expenses incurred during the Reconciliation Period to generate and purchase electric energy for its retail customers. The purpose of the reconciliation proceeding is for the Commission to review Entergy Texas’ eligible fuel and purchased power expenses incurred during the Reconciliation Period to determine whether they were reasonable and necessary to serve retail customers.

Entergy Texas collected approximately $1.700 billion in fixed fuel factor revenues through rates that were in effect during the Reconciliation Period. Entergy Texas’ under-recovery balance for the Reconciliation Period (expenses less revenues) totals approximately $25.8 million, which includes interest expense on the under-recovered amounts. Entergy Texas does not seek to implement a fuel-related refund or surcharge of its eligible fuel costs in this case. Entergy Texas proposes to roll any ending fuel balance resulting from this proceeding forward to serve as the beginning balance for the next reconciliation period.

All customers and classes of customers receiving retail electric service from Entergy Texas whose electric service rates include charges pursuant to Rate Schedule FF (fixed fuel factor) will be affected by the reconciliation of fuel and purchased power costs contained in the Application. This Application has no effect on Entergy Texas’ non-fuel rates. Persons with questions or who want more information on this petition may contact Entergy Texas at Attn: Customer Service—Fuel Reconciliation, 350 Pine Street, Beaumont, Texas 77701, or call 1-866981-2602 during normal business hours. A complete copy of this petition is available for inspection at the address listed above.

Persons who wish to formally participate in this proceeding, or who wish to express their comments concerning this petition should contact the Public Utility Commission of Texas, Office of Customer Protection, P.O. Box 13326, Austin, Texas 78711-3326, or call (512) 936-7120 or toll-free at (888) 782-8477. Hearingand speech-impaired individuals with text telephones (“TTY”) may call (512) 9367136 or use Relay Texas (toll-free) 1-800-735-2989. A deadline for intervention will be established for this proceeding. All communications should refer to Docket No. 49916.

Alzheimer’s and Dementia: The 10 Warning Signs You Need to Know ships. Vision problems, which may lead to difficulty with balance or trouble reading.

Today, more than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s. By 2050, that number is projected to skyrocket to nearly 14 million.

6. New problems with words in speaking or writing. Trouble following or joining a conversation or a struggle with vocabulary. For example, calling a “watch” a “hand-clock.”

To help families identify signs early on, the Alzheimer’s Association offers 10 Warning Signs and Symptoms, a list of some common signs that can be early symptoms of Alzheimer’s or other dementias:

7. Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps.

Putting things in unusual places and being unable to go back over one’s steps to find them again.

8. Decreased or poor judgment. Changes in judgment or decision-making when dealing with such matters as money and grooming.

9. Withdrawal from work or social activities. Changes in the ability to hold or follow a conversation can result in a withdrawal from hobbies or social activities.

1. Disruptive memory loss.

Forgetting recently learned information, asking the same questions over and over and increasingly relying on memory aids.

(StatePoint) Recognizing and taking steps to address the warning signs of Alzheimer’s and other dementias can be extremely challenging -- especially in the early stages. It’s easy and common to dismiss cognitive changes in oneself or a family member as “normal aging.”

“Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging,” says Dr. Keith Fargo, director, scientific programs and outreach at the Alzheimer’s Association. “With normal aging, you may forget where you parked your car -- that happens to all of us. But if you get in your car and get lost coming home -- that’s not normal.”
