Flood Waters Arrive Tommy Mann Jr. For The Record

Although Orange County escaped the heaviest rainfall during this past week’s storm system which drenched much of Texas and Louisiana, many parts of the county have not been as fortunate with rising water in the Sabine River.

Areas north of Orange County re-

ceived various amounts of rain this past week, as much as 18-inches in some areas including the Toledo Bend reservoir. Rising lake levels forced the Sabine River Authority to open its nine spillway-gates to released as much as 207,000 cubic feet of water per second at its peak, which has led to downstream flooding along the Sabine River.

As of Tuesday afternoon, all nine spillway-gates remain open but the flow has

been reduced to 67,164 cubic feet per second.

The Burkeville gauge reached its peak flood stage of 53.82 feet on Friday, March 11, which is more than 6-feet above the previous flood stage record set in 1989. The gauge at Bon Wier reached its peak flood stage of 44.21 feet on

Bridge City library steps up help for flood victims K’Lynn Ess, an employee at the Bridge City public library, and her co-workers, Linda Sorge and Mary Montgomery, sent out a post Tuesday on the library’s Facebook page asking for donations for the victims of the on-going floods in Orange and Newton counties.

Within an hour and a half, Ess told the Beaumont Enterprise the library’s lobby was almost completely filled with

toiletries, water and individually wrapped meals and snacks.

Ess said the donations will be delivered Wednesday by Bridge City Mayor Kirk Roccaforte.

“These were the first people that helped us when we were taken out by Hurricane Ike,” Ess told the Enterprise. “We are blessed to return the favor.”

The Record • Week of Wednesday, March 16, 2016

Flood Waters on Sunday, March 13, which is 6.3 feet above the flood stage recorded in 1989. The National Weather Service expects a slow decrease at both locations as the week progresses.

In Deweyville, the Ruliff gauge was forecasted to peak at 36.2 feet on Tuesday, March 15, according to the National Weather Service, which would be a new record of more than 7-feet above the flood level record set in 1989. However, the river crested at 33.5 feet according to reports on Tuesday.

The water reached major flood stage of 28-feet on Saturday, March 12, and was expected to peak by Tuesday, March 15, at 35.2 feet, according to the Sabine River Authority.

Mandatory evacuations were ordered by Newton County officials for Deweyville residents this past week in anticipation of rising water. Over the past weekend, State officials closed the section of State Highway 12 through Deweyville at the Texas-Louisiana border as well as though north of the area such

From Page 1

as State Highway 63.

The Orange-gauge was forecasted to rise above the flood stage of 4-feet on Monday, March 14 and climb to its peak of 7.5 feet by Wednesday, March 16. This forecast is 1.6 feet above the flood level recorded in 1989. It had reached 6.3 feet by Tuesday afternoon.

The Orange County Emergency Management Coordinator’s office issued a mandatory evacuation notice for locations in the Orange area, including areas north of Interstate 10 and east of State Highway 87 all the way to the Newton and Orange County lines. Madatory evacuation orders were issued for areas south of Interstate 10 and east of the Union Pacific Railroad which runs parallel with 16th Street and State Highway 87. All of the Cove area was included in the mandatory evacuation as well.

Voluntary evacuations were issued Monday morning in the City of West Orange for residents living close to Adams Bayou, as well as Dayton Street

and areas east.

The City of Pinehurst issued a voluntary evacuation notice on Monday, which became mandatory on Tuesday, for businesses and residents near Adams Bayou, including those on MacArthur Drive near the bayou. Also included in the notice were 29th Street, 30th Street, 31st Street, 33rd Street and those on Camelot, Lancelot, Somerset, Enchanted Oaks and Concord which were previous impacted by Hurricane Ike. Orange County Sheriff Keith Merritt has called in extra man-power and will have deputies patrolling areas which are being evacuated.

The American Red Cross has mobilized and has set up emergency shelters across the region for those impacted by flooding.

In Orange County, the American Red Cross has established a shelter at First United Methodist Church, which is located at 11929 State Highway 12 in Mauriceville. This shelter can accommodate residents from the Orange-area and

those from Deweyville as well.

A second shelter was opened Monday afternoon at North Orange Baptist Church, 4775 N. 16th St. in Orange.

According to Eric Jones of the American Red Cross, the organization’s first priority has been establishing shelters and feeding those needing assistance, but it will soon shift to distributing relief supplies.

“This is an a-typical flood,” Jones said in a statement. “Most floods rise and fall in a few days. This one is more challenging because it will rise and remain high for the next threeto-five days.”

Other shelters have been opened at First Baptist Church of Kirbyville, located at 105 N. Barrow Ave. in Kirbyville, and Burkeville Baptist Church, 268 County Road 2092 in Burkeville.

Jones stated more shelters are anticipated to open in the Golden Triangle by the end of the week. By late Tuesday, the American Red Cross was preparing to open a shelter inside the Montagne Center of Lamar University which could house more than 400 evacuees.

As waters continued to rise

on Tuesday, several road closures were reported.

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) announced the closure of Interstate 10 on Tuesday morning and began re-routingraffic was being re-routed in Beaumont north to U.S Highway 69 and U.S. Highway 96 to Interstate 20.

Locally, several roads are flooded.

From The Creaux’s Nest SUPER TUESDAY—IT’S DONE— MOVING TOWARD NOVEMBER Sen. Bernie Sanders has expanded his double digit lead among millennial in the Democratic presidential race. However, a new USA Today/Rock the Vote poll finds a way for Sen. Hillary Clinton to solve her generation gap and that is to go heads up with Donald Trump. In November voters under 35 would choose Clinton by a crushing 52 percent to 19 percent. Among whites she would be backed by nearly 2-1, 45 percent to 26 percent.

With Hispanics she wins 4 to 1, 61 percent to 14 percent. Among Asians by 5 to 1, 60 percent to 11 percent. Among African Americans by 13 to 1, 67 percent to 5 percent. Clinton would carry young men and women by identical margins of more than 2 to 1. Nearly one in four Republicans would defect to the Democrats if the GOP nominates Trump. One of the very best things for the Democratic Party is Bernie Sanders. He’s a good man, with far-fetching ideas. Some of his programs would make for an ideal world if at all possible. The reality is that it’s taking too big a bite and unrealistic. Bernie has been able to do some things that no one since the Vietnam War, that’s getting young people to vote. Baby Boomers, the EX-generation and others have stayed away from the polls in large numbers as youngsters. If Bernie can’t get the nomination, but supports Hillary and brings a third of his new voters, Democrats would not only elect Clinton but win the Senate and if Trump is the GOP nominee, it is very likely, the Republican Congress would lose many seats. Trump will make it a big sweep for Democrats and if Bernie brings his millennial to join Hillary, it could be the worst defeat the Republican have taken in years. That is exactly why every effort will be made by the GOP to deny him the Republican nomination.

The Democrats race will go on for some time yet.*****I’ve got to move on. Come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm.

HOW HIGH’S DA WATER MAMA? Well, its four feet high and rising. I had never heard of rising water causing such a stir before. TV news donated their entire 30-minute news show to flood water. They repeated that it is a record rise for the Sabine River from water released from the Toledo Bend Reservoir. Flooding will occur all up and down the Sabine River Basin. Newton County will get the blunt of the rising water, the Deweyville area is totally submerged, Burkeville, Bon Weir, along with Kirbyville, are covered with river water.

Nine floodgates at Toledo have been open since last week. Parts of Orange are covered. In Orange, the Kristin Chenoweth show, scheduled for Wednesday at the Lutcher Theater, and Saturday’s music festival on the Riverfront Pavilion have been canceled.

Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center are closed for now because of rising water from Adams Bayou. The area will have very few flooded out houses in Orange compared to Ike. The county is less affected with less than 5 percent of the residents having water problems. The closing of IH-10 in Louisiana probably affects the county more than anything. Back in the 1950’s, flooding in downtown Orange was common place. There were few outlets, Coopers Gully, and a couple others. There also weren’t any lift stations or pumps. Almost every time we got a big rainfall, flooding would occur. We kept sand bags stored and when it rained, we would stack them at least two bags high at each door at our store on Second Street. When we got the OVN building, on Sixth Street, bags of sand were stored in the back room. I recall a 10-inch rain in the early 50’s that did a lot more flooding damage than the Sabine River overflow will do. I found it kind of amusing how some media folks were running around hyping flood waters like we had been hit by a massive storm. It’s very little damage in comparison to some of our storms of the past. To those that were hit, it’s just as devastating. Some people like Bill, our distribution manager, who lives in Deweyville, has lost everything, home and belongings.

Pete used his notoriety as sports editor in the popular paper to propel himself into politics.

He won his first, in over a dozen elections, since. He defeated a popular Jim Morris to become Democratic Chairman, a powerful seat back then and as they say, “The rest is history.” We didn’t have any equipment, you can tell we cut out letters and glued them down for headlines. The paper was laid out on the floor, using scissors and glue cans. Every word in the paper had to be typed twice in order to justify the columns.

C’EST TOUT With all the evil around there are still some good people among us. While shopping, 90-year-old Opal Hawley left her billfold in her buggy at Wal-Mart. The person who found it drove to her home and put it in her mailbox. She said after much prayer it was such a blessing to find that “gift.” Ms. Hawley would like to thank the good Samaritan who returned her billfold to her complete with all the contents..*****Well, I’ve run out of time.

Thanks for yours. Just thought I’d end with a feel-good story.

Take care and God bless.

Two Steps, One Sticker in second year Red Cross offers ‘Safe and Well’

Orange County is stepping up to assist customers during the second year of the “Two Steps, One Sticker” program for vehicle inspection and registration.

On March 1, the transition year ended, and vehicles should now have one convenient expiration date for inspection and registration. Here is what Orange County vehicle owners need to do from this point forward: Take a look at the date on your vehicle registration sticker than follow the two steps.

Step 1: Pass a vehicle inspec-

tion no earlier than 90 days prior to your registration expiration and retain your vehicle inspection report. To find your nearest inspection station in Orange County, visit the Texas Department of Public Safety’s (DPS) website.

Step 2: After your vehicle passes inspection, renew your registration online, by mail, or in person at the Orange County Tax Assessor-Collector’s office and your inspection status will be verified electronically.

Remember that your vehicle inspection and registration will

expire on the last day of the month that’s indicated on your sticker.

“Following the two steps will help ensure a smooth registration renewal process,” said Orange County Tax Assessor-Collector Lynda Gunstream. “Before coming to our office or submitting your registration renewal online, or by mail, be sure to pass inspection no earlier than 90-days before your sticker expires.”

For example, if your registration sticker expires in August 2016, you can pass your inspec-

tion as early as June 3 which is 90 days before your sticker expires on August 31, 2016.

The state of Texas stopped issuing vehicle inspection stickers on March 1, 2015, as a result of House bill 2305 that passed during the 83rd legislative session in 2013. The Orange County Tax Assessors-Collector’s office has been working closely with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles to implement the changes required by law.

Knowing how to stay in contact or reconnect with loved ones is a very important part of a family communication plan. It is with this in mind that officials from e American Red Cross in Beaumont and Orange, want to introduce a tool that will enable people displaced from their homes by the recent floods to establish contact. e Red Cross mobile app features an “I’m Safe” button that allows users to post messages to their social media accounts. is capability will inform concerned family and friends that the user is out of harm’s way. In an emergency, knowing that those close to us are safe will help bring some peace of mind. e Red Cross also offers the Safe and Well website which is a secure and more private option than the “I’m Safe” feature on the

app. Safe and Well allows people to list their own status and allows friends and family to search for messages from their loved ones.

Red Cross mobile disaster apps are free and available on most smart phones and tablets.

Red Cross apps can be found in the app store for your mobile device by searching for “American Red Cross” or by going to .

People in immediate need of a shelter should consult the Red Cross Shelter Map at: .

People can help by donating to Red Cross Disaster Relief to support disasters big and small by visiting , calling 1-800-RED CROSS or texting the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation. Donations to Disaster Relief will be used to prepare for, respond to and help people recover from disasters big and small.

OVN was born on St. Patrick’s Day 1971 My bloodline is my rabbit’s foot Down Life’s Highway Roy Dunn My bloodline is pure Irish on one side and it’s really well Dunn. My grandparents, Allen and Laura, both carried the name Dunn when they married in 1876. At age 8, he had come to Rising Star by covered wagon with his mom Sarah and aunt from Arkansas. His dad had been killed in the Civil War, in 1864 when Abe Lincoln was president.

I’m one of the few people alive whose grandfather was alive during the Civil War. Not a great grandfather but my dad’s dad. Allen died in 1950 in his 90’s. Laura was from DeLeon, a few miles from Sipes Springs, near Rising Star. There they would spend the rest of their lives raising their family of six boys and two girls.

They are both buried in an old historical cemetery on the hill with some of their children. The cemetery has graves dating back to the turn of the 1800’s. They claimed not to be kin, even though my father Clay always claimed that all Dunn’s were kin.

Their children on the male side left that peanut land to become successful and wealthy. None more colorful then Clay, who was referred to as the “Black Sheep” of the bunch. He’s a hundred stories in one.

They had few children. Our two sons, Mark and Allen, are the last males who will carry the family name. We have no Dunn grandsons. This year marks 150 years since Allen’s

birth that led to my being and the path I’ve traveled Down Life’s Highway. The family name will some day come to an end, but the bloodline will live on through our daughter Karen, and her boys, Garrett Clay, Sean Cade and Collin Slade Gros, and our two granddaughters Amber and Jenna and our great grandchildren, Jenna’s son Nate, and daughters Delilah and Willow Grace and Garrett’s children Leland and newly born Juliana.

I guess I’m the ultimate “Black Sheep.” Like a white man’s son raised by the Indians, I was raised in the Cajun culture by a Cajun mother.

While I carried an Irish name.

I couldn’t speak English before the age of 7, causing me and other Cajun kids to spend two years in first grade. My mom and I spent a life of struggle and poverty after Clay flew the coupe when I was a baby.

Now that I’ve laid out the background, I’ll venture into the purpose for this column.

The luck of my Irish side has followed me most of my days.

I’ve always been luckier than I probably deserved to be. Just to escape the extreme poverty and hardships was an accomplishment in itself, but to find a degree of success took lots of luck. To have married Phyl, my partner of 61 year and to have enjoyed the benefits of our lives took a lot of luck. I’ve always given St. Patrick credit for that. My Irish side is my rabbit’s foot. Time after time good fortune has come to us

Pictured are the 10 original Dunn’s of Rising Star, Texas. This picture is believed to have been taken in 1936 at the old home place in Sipes Springs. The gathering was to mark Allen and Laura’s 60th wedding anniversary. My father Clay was 43 years old. They are lined up by age standing left ot right: Pearl, Minnie, Robert (Rob), Carl, Clay, Hobson (Hobby), Ernest and Ellis. Seated are Mom and Dad, (Allen and Laura.)

by just a lucky move, not great knowledge.

This St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, we’ll mark 45 years since we launched Orange County’s first successful weekly newspaper, The Opportunity Valley News. I’m still amazed at the success and reception of that publication. It really was phenomenal.

I started the paper with a song and a typewriter, in a couple of small rooms in the Frank Manchac Insurance office on Green Avenue in Orange, about the same time Tim Hughes was starting out next door with Superior Tire Service.

After struggling through the first year, the Harmon family, Jackie, Corky and Don, made it possible for me to have a permanent building at 109 6th Street. A lucky break. They took the cost of the building out in advertis-

ing. We still own that building. I kept it for sentimental reasons, thankful for all it provided us.

Even though we ventured into other things and now are proudly publishing The Record Newspapers, Penny and County, the OVN made it possible for us to lead a good life. It may have been, however, some of my imagination and the knowledge of people and what was under every rock that helped make it successful. It was really one lucky thing after another that brought it success. It led to other publications and the

purchase of the Triangle Press, whose name is still being used today by the parent company of the Port Arthur News and Orange Leader.

We sold the OVN, press and publications to Cox Enterprise on my birthday, June 5, 1980, after a memorable nine years. The owners of our OVN then bought the Orange Leader. That move prompted Gordon Baxter to write the poem, “How one simple Coonass made a follower out of the Leader.” Maybe so, but the luck of my Irish side played a big part. Cox paid me big money as a consultant.

They never took my advice.

They were the experts. I was just a simple Cajun with an Irish name. They struggled with the paper through several owners till one day the once great publication was gone, having died a slow death.

The paper that started on that March 17th day is no more, but I’ll never forget it.

And I’ll always give credit to my Irish. So again this year I will remember and give thanks to St. Patrick for that great paper I started on his birthday. Happy St. Pat’s Day to all.

Custom lures bring more fish success OUTDOORS WEEKLY CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE FOR THE RECORD

More than once it has happened, you and your best fishing buddy are standing side by side using the same lure but only one of you is really catching fish. e next time this happens you need to examine you partners lure a little more closely, especially when it comes to topwater plugs. ere are plenty of serious fishermen out there who just take a plug out of the package and start using it without any thought of checking several key components. Hooks are the main thing, inferior hooks cost fishermen more fish than anything. Check to see how sharp the treble hooks are before you chunk that plug, sometimes they are not nearly as sharp as one might think. Split rings that hold the hooks are another culprit, stainless steel split are a must when hustling fish in saltwater.

Also the size of the split can cause you grief as well, some plugs like the Super spook for instance have really big rings that allow for excess travel of the treble hooks which in turn results in the hooks getting tangled on one another. e simple solution to this problem is to just down size the rings.

Tournament anglers for years have been tinkering with all sorts of lures, bass guys are the worst.

Show me any big bass tournament fisherman and I will show you a guy who is into an outdoors version of arts and crafts.

Dips, dyes, rattles, skirts, and swivels that spin if you just think about them wrong are all variables that can be changed or altered to give a fisherman an edge. Well the tweaking has made a major crossover into the saltwater arena, especially when it comes to the topwater plugs. On a recent trip to Calcasieu Lake in Louisiana I saw See UZZLE, PAGE 2B

Navasota High School joines Bridge City (pictured) as part of the revised 10-4A, Division I next season.

Navasota addition not so bad KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

When the University Interscholastic League for some reason added Navasota to District 10-4A-I last month for 2016-18, it created somewhat of a panic to its regular members—Little Cypress-Mauriceville, Bridge City, Silsbee, Cleveland, Huffman and Livingston.

One of the four teams destined for the playoffs this fall will most likely be an odd-team-out because the Rattlers football team has gone 54-3 in the last four seasons including two state championships. e move makes no sense because Navasota comes from the other end of the region which is going to cause huge travel woes for most of the members of District 10-4A-I, especially in some of

the other sports and UIL events.

But there is a light at the end of the tunnel in this scenario, because the person most responsible for the Rattlers’ good fortunes in most of the sports is head coach and athletic director Lee Fedora, who has been directing Navasota’s athletic fortunes for the past 11 years.

About a month ago Fedora was due to have his contract extended as it has routinely been done since he arrived on the scene with an automatic 7-0 approval by the Navasota board of trustees.

But this time the board went into special session and came back without any announcement of Fedora’s contract extension.

According to an article appearing in the Houston Chronicle last week the situation festered and public criticism grew among the ardent Rattler fans and supporters.

Fedora felt like something was in the wind, even though the school board gave Fedora the extension with a 7-0 vote.

“e extension was done every time before in routine fashion, but a football coach who led Navasota to a 54-3 record and two titles the last four years, in addition to an athletic director praised for building the entire program, was left out to dry,” the article stated.

Last Wednesday Fedora told his staff and his athletes that he was leaving Navasota after 11 years.

“What goes on in closed session, I can’t speak about it, but there’s changes coming and I just felt like it was time for a change for my family,” Fedora told the Chronicle. “So that’s the decision I made.”

“Fedora deciding to leave while acknowledging another job isn’t already solidified doesn’t show well for Navasota. e school board made a mistake and did what it could to fix it,” the article pointed out.

“School board member Hollis Hood said he felt last week cleared up any questions either side had.

Once out of a 90-minute closed session, the board got a second motionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t two weeks priorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; resulting in the extension not going to a vote, and doled out a unanimous 7-0 vote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taking two weeks was likely the ďŹ nal straw, and now Navasota has to own the fact that it pushed away the best coach it ever had,â&#x20AC;? the article concluded.

During Fedoraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenure at the helm of the Rattlers from 2007-15, Navasota averaged 11.4 wins per season and won seven district titles and twice ďŹ nished 16-0 winning state championships in 2012 and 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In retrospect, we should have looked at it diďŹ&#x20AC;erently and talked about it diďŹ&#x20AC;erently,â&#x20AC;? Hood told the Chronicle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think any of the board members really felt that was going to happen, but it just did and there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anything you could do about it after the fact. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you thisâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad that he stayed here 11 years and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten the program to a point where I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you can ďŹ nd a better one anywhere,â&#x20AC;?

Osweiler was signed to a four-year, $72 million contract with $38 million guaranteed. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e Texans replaced Arian Foster with 24-year-old Lamar Miller from the Miami Dolphins and signed him to a four-year $26 million contract with a $14 million guarantee.

struggled to copy the plug in hopes of getting on the bigger ďŹ sh, but to no avail they could not match the â&#x20AC;&#x153;customâ&#x20AC;? plug in either color or production. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e teaser tabs on the plug really helped when the ďŹ sh got ďŹ nicky, at times I would let the plug sit completely still for several seconds with nothing but the waves moving it back and forth until a trout would come crashing from beneath the surface to engulf it.

I since have put the little tabs on nearly all my topwaters, I know they help catch more ďŹ sh because I have seen it ďŹ rst hand.

With a little imagination and a few simple things like paint pens and dye you can really trick out a plug and make it into a real ďŹ sh catching machine. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

Miller will give the Texans their fastest running back in franchise history. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e Texans also signed free agents JeďŹ&#x20AC; Allen (guard) and center Tony Bergstrom. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e Broncos replaced Oswelier and Peyton Manning with 29-year-old Mark Sanchez at quarterback.

JUST BETWEEN USâ&#x20AC;Śî&#x20AC;&#x201C;e 2016 NCAA Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Basketball Tournament oďŹ&#x192;cially begins tomorrow (î&#x20AC;&#x201C;urs.) with 64 teams competing for the national championship after the four games are completed Tuesday and today. Five teams from the Lone Star State are included in the ďŹ eldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Stephen F. Austin, Texas, Texas A&M, Baylor (22-11) and Texas Tech (19-12). î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e No. 1 seeds in each of the four

want to go through all that trouble at least change your dull hooks out in favor of sharper ones like the VMC or Gamakatsu, they are super sharp and plenty strong.

By just changing the hooks out you will be ahead of the game.

One other little trick that requires no painting or exotic changes, turn the eye on the lure 90 degrees to where it sits horizontal with the surface of the water rather than perpendicular.

By doing this the nose of the plug will stay down and add a little more action to your favorite bait like the Super Spook, Skitterwalk, or Top Dogs.

And of course always tie a loop knot when ďŹ shing topwaters, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a ďŹ rm believer in the beneďŹ ts of

regions are not a big surprise with Kansas (30-4) in the South Regional, Oregon (28-6) in the West while the other side of the bracket has North Carolina (28-6) in the East Regional and Virginia (26-7) in the Midwest. I like Kansas to win in the South with No. 5 Maryland (25-8) as the long shot, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going with No. 3 Texas A&M in the West as the long shot and winner, North Carolina in the East with No. 7 Wisconsin (20-12) as my long shot and No. 2 Michigan State (29-5) as the winner in the Midwest with No. 5 Purdue (26-8) as the dark horse. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;is weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games will be televised on CBS, tru-TV, TBS, and TNT.

using this knot because it adds some irresistible action to the plug. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e increased action in the presentation is just undeniable, use it next time and it you will see a deďŹ nite diďŹ&#x20AC;erence.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to try some of your own variations on your favorite plugs, you never know what might happen. If you just happen to stumble onto the perfect bait you will have it all to yourself. Just think what that knowledge and edge will do for you next time you and a buddy take to the water, when the ďŹ sh start coming in on your side of the boat much more frequently it will be well worth the time and eďŹ&#x20AC;ort not mention bragging rights.

As a Val Verde County game warden ate a late lunch at a boat ramp on Lake Amistad, he was approached by two men wearing camouďŹ&#x201A;age and waders. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e hunters told the warden they had gone out that morning to hunt ducks on kayaks a few miles away. However, a cold front with 47-mile-an-hour winds blew over the lake in midmorning, making it impossible to navigate. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e hunters sought shelter in a nearby cove before deciding to seek help. Fortunately, they found the game warden not long after starting their search for help. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e warden launched his boat, made his way across the white-capping lake and, with the help of the two hunters, found

Better Safe than Sorry

the abandoned kayaks and gear.

Accident on I-10

A Hudspeth County game warden assisted in a failure-toyield incident at the Border Patrol checkpoint on Interstate 10. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e warden identiďŹ ed the car that failed to yield as stolen. As the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two occupants tried to avoid apprehension by driving against traďŹ&#x192;c, the driver struck an 18-wheeler head on, blocking all lanes of westbound traďŹ&#x192;c for six hours. In the accident, the passenger was ejected from the vehicle and later pronounced dead on the scene. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e driver was airlifted to the nearest hospital for multiple injuries. While searching the vehicle, the warden found a softball-sized amount of crystal meth, about 50 unidentiďŹ ed pills and a scale.

Cases and charges are pending.

Doeâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Drowning As a Red River County game warden watched for night road hunting from his vehicle, a truck drove down the road he was watching, slowed down and turned around. Unaware of the wardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence, the truck stopped at a nearby creek. The warden soon heard a loud splash. After the warden made contact with the driver, the man admitted to killing a doe that night, out of season, and then dumping the carcass in the creek to get rid of it.

Multiple cases against the individual are pending.

Bambiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Notâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;aâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Pet

A Grayson County game warden received a call from a Sherman Police Department officer about a yearling whitetailed deer he had noticed in a small pen in someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yard.

The warden went to the scene and, with the help of a local animal control officer, captured the deer and transferred it to a permitted rehabilitator so it could eventually be released back into the wild. The warden cited the resident of the house for possessing a live deer without a permit. The case is pending.

A Limestone County game warden got a call about a father and son who hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t returned home from their fishing trip.

After calling both her husband and son multiple times, the wife and her other son went to Lake Limestone to look for their missing family members.

They found the dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truck and trailer, but his boat was nowhere to be seen. When the warden arrived on scene, he saw a light flashing sporadically in the distance, in the middle of the lake. The warden launched his patrol boat and, upon arriving at the source of the light, found a man and child sitting on top of a capsized vessel.

High winds had caused the boat to take on water and capsize on top of a tree stump, which kept the boat partially above water. The father and son, who were both wearing life jackets, were okay, though they were very cold, hungry and shaken. The warden took them back to the boat ramp and their waiting family members, gave them some food and let them warm up. Fortunately, neither individual needed medical attention.

Catchâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;andâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Release

When a Shelby County game warden returned to an area where he had previously seen hoop nets hanging from a tree, he also found multiple nets in the nearby river. The warden monitored the area over the next few days without seeing any fishermen, but one day noticed the nets had been baited and some were moved to a different location. The warden monitored the area for another 10 hours before he finally saw a fisherman bait a couple nets and place them in the water.

The warden made contact with the subject and found 22 illegal hoop nets with about 15 catfish, all of which the warden released back into the river.

While the wardens sat at a four-way stop, they saw a vehicle matching the BOLO run a stop sign in front of them. The wardens pursued the vehicle.

The chase finally ended at a residence, where the wardens determined the man was indeed the suspect who had burglarized the church. The wardens found the stolen property and handed the suspect and vehicle over to the local sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. The suspect was subsequently charged with burglary of a building.

As Starr and Zapata county game wardens patrolled the Rio Grande River, they spotted a commercial fisherman on the U.S. side of the river. When the wardens tried to make contact with him, the fisherman started ramming the wardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boat with his own boat. During the commotion, the wardens managed to board the fishermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boat and disable it. They took the fisherman into custody for possession of a prohibited device in state waters. The wardens seized the boat, motor and 9,000 feet of gill net.

Niceâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Try

A Comal County game warden came across a photo on a popular Facebook hunting group of a woman holding her first buck. After further investigation, the warden determined the woman did not have a hunting license.

Her boyfriend had used his own license and tag to make it look like the woman had taken the deer legally. The game warden found the woman and her boyfriend, who told the warden it was all a big joke, and he had actually shot the deer. After getting statements from the pair, the warden interviewed several other individuals who had received text messages and phone calls from the woman.

They said the woman told them she had shot her first buck. The wardens determined the female had in fact shot the deer and used her boyfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license and tag to cover it up. The pair paid a fine and civil restitution.

Doâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Reallyâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Knowâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6; Allâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;theâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Wardens?

A game warden got a call from a landowner about trespassers on his property. The landowner said he had seen a group of quail hunters jump his fence. When he confronted them and said he was going to call the game wardens, one of the trespassers said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go ahead, I know all the game wardens

and will be expecting their call.â&#x20AC;?

The warden responded and gathered evidence at the scene.

During his investigation, he found the names of all four suspects. After interviewing the suspects, all four confessed to not only the trespass but to hunting from the road and killing roadrunners, a protected nongame bird.

Theâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Oldâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Switcheroo

A game warden was patrolling the Canadian River area in Potter County when he saw a pickup truck, driven by a male, fail to stop at a stop sign and then get onto the nearby highway at a high rate of speed.

As the warden pursued the truck, the male driver suddenly pulled off the roadway. The warden initiated a traffic stop.

However, as he approached the pickup, he noticed the male he had just seen driving the truck had switched places with his female passenger, who was now in the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat. During a brief interview with the male, the warden noticed signs of intoxication and administered standardized field sobriety tests. The male failed the tests and was placed under arrest for driving while intoxicated. He provided a breath sample that registered a 0.234 blood alcohol level.

Yes,â&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Wardensâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Do Careâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;aboutâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Warrants

As a Travis County game warden and a ride along were checking bank fishermen along the Colorado River, they encountered an individual in a makeshift camp. The man said he only used the camp as a weekend getaway. When the warden asked for his identification, the man provided false informationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;his date of birth and stated age didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t add up.

The warden discovered a warrant with no extradition limits had been issued for the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parole revocation. The weekend camper said he knew he had warrants out for his arrest but thought game wardens didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about warrants and would just go away. The warden filed additional charges of false identification as a fugitive from justice.

Mr.â&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Xâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Hasâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;aâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Dateâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;withâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;the Judge

Travis County game wardens were checking bank fishermen on Lake Austin when they found one individual fishing without a license. When shown a photo taken from over half a mile away of him fishing, the individual adamantly stated the subject in the photo was not him. When signing the citation promising to appear before a judge, the man scratched a large bold â&#x20AC;&#x153;X.â&#x20AC;? The wardens asked why the X didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t match the signature on his driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license, but the man simply said he just changed his signature and will now be known as Mr. X.

Brown trout making a comeback in Texas Texas anglers will have another species to target this spring. In March, the Guadalupe River Chapter of Trout Unlimited (GRTU) will stock approximately 900 brown trout averaging 14 inches in the Canyon Dam tailrace. e tailrace extends 14 miles downstream of Canyon Dam on the Guadalupe River. Brown trout are popular with anglers and can live in slightly higher water temperatures than rainbow trout.

Brown trout have been stocked in the tailrace before.

From the late 1970s to 2000 brown trout supplemented rainbow trout stockings by the Texas

Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) and GRTU. is stocking will be different, because fisheries managers will assess how brown trout stockings improve angler participation and fishing through Texas’ hot summer months. Angler surveys will document fishing effort and catch rates, while electrofishing sampling will evaluate trout survival through summer and fall.

Half of the brown trout stocking will occur in the special regulation zone, which begins 800 yards downstream of Canyon Dam and extends to the easternmost bridge crossing on Highway 306. Anglers fishing in this zone are required to release

In 2005, he arrived in Hollywood, where his acting career began with background roles on such TV series as Hannah Montana and Everybody Hates Chris. His big break came in 2008 with Breaking Bad, which he viewed as the “perfect role” to enlighten a broader audience about people with disabilities.

Beyond his acting, Mitte is in-

brown and rainbow trout between 12 and 18 inches in length.

Trout below 12 inches and one above 18 inches can be harvested by artificial lures only, with a five-fish daily bag limit. Remaining brown trout will be stocked in multiple locations from the easternmost Highway 306 bridge crossing to the second bridge crossing on River Road.

TPWD and GRTU are hoping the addition of brown trout can increase the number of trout that survive through summer in the tailrace. is would increase year-round angling opportunities and allow fish to grow over multiple years. e protective regulations and cooler water

temperatures in the upstream portion of the tailrace provide the best conditions for this to occur. If brown trout increase angler participation and exhibit better oversummer survival than rainbow trout, more may be stocked in the future.

Methods for catching brown trout are similar to those used for

rainbow trout. Dry flies, wet flies and small lures that imitate terrestrial insects or minnows can be good bait choices in summer.

Anglers can access the river several ways. In the upstream special regulation zone, kayaks and canoes can be launched from a free access area just below Canyon Dam. Take-out locations

and other access can be arranged through outfitters such as Maricopa Riverside Lodge or Whitewater Sports. During the winter season, several leased sites offer anglers free access to the river.

6B â&#x20AC;˘ The Record â&#x20AC;˘ Week of Wednesday, March 16, 2016

The story of Easter brings to life the life and resurrection of Jesus About 1960 years ago, Jesus and his friends and followers were in Jerusalem preparing for the special Passover celebrations.

At the same time, the chief priests and other Jewish oďŹ&#x192;cials were meeting at the house of Caiaphas, the High Priest, to discuss ways of capturing Jesus quietly, and killing him. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ey wanted to kill Jesus because they hated how popular he was with the people and thought he might take some of their power away, and also more importantly, they did not believe Jesus's claim that he was the Son of God. "But we can't do it during the Passover celebrations," they agreed, "because the people might riot."

Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus's twelve disciples, went to the chief priests, and asked, "How much will you pay me if I betray Jesus to you?" î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ey gave him thirty silver coins. From then on, Judas watched for a chance to betray Jesus to them.

On the ďŹ rst day of the Passover ceremonies, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where are we going to eat our Passover meal?" Jesus replied, "Go into the city and ďŹ nd a man carrying a water jar and tell him, 'Our Master says, my time has come, and I will eat the Passover meal with my disciples at your house.'" So the disciples did as he told them, and prepared the meal there. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;at evening as Jesus sat eating the Passover meal with his disciples, He broke the bread, blessed it and said, "Take this and eat it, for this is my body, which I am giving for you." He then took the cup of wine and gave thanks and said, "Drink this, all of you. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;is is my blood which is poured out for you." î&#x20AC;&#x201C;en he said, "One of you will betray me." î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e disciples asked each other who would do that. But Judas knew he was talking about him and slipped out as soon as he could.

Jesus and the rest of the disciples ďŹ nished the meal and when they had sung a hymn, they went out to a local beauty spot, the Mount of Olives, and Jesus said to them, "î&#x20AC;&#x201C;is very night all of you will run away and leave me."

Peter, one of Jesus's best friends, said to him, "Even if everyone else leaves you, I never will. Even if I have to die with you, I will never let you down. I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "Tonight, before the rooster crows, you will say three times that you don't know me." î&#x20AC;&#x201C;en Jesus took his disciples to a place called Gethsemane and said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray. Pray for strength against temptation." He went a little way from them, knelt down and started to pray.

"God, my Father, if it is possible, please take this burden from me.

But do what you want, not what I want." Jesus stayed there and prayed for about an hour.

When he returned to the disciples, he found them asleep and asked them, "Why are you sleeping? Couldn't you stay awake for one hour? Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation, for your spirit is willing, but your body is weak." î&#x20AC;&#x201C;en he went away for a second time to pray, "My Father, if it is not possible to take this painful thing from me, and if I must do it, I pray that what you want will happen." Jesus went back to his followers and found that they had fallen asleep again, so he went and prayed a third time.

When he came back the last time, they were still asleep so he told them, "Wake up! It is nearly time for the Son of Man to be betrayed by sinners! Here comes my betrayer."

After he left the meal, Judas had gone to the high priests and made arrangements with them and the soldiers about how they would know Jesus. "î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e one who I kiss is the one to arrest.", he said. When they arrived where Jesus and his disciples were, Judas went up to Jesus and kissed him and said, "Greetings, Teacher." And with that, the soldiers arrested Jesus.

Jesus was taken to the court of Caiaphas (the High Priest), the teachers of the law and the Jewish Elders. Peter followed at a distance into the courtyard. He sat down with the guards to see what would happen. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e priests and the Sanhedrin (the name of

the Jewish parliament) brought lots of witnesses who told lies about Jesus. But nothing could be proved and Jesus would not say anything to defend himself.

Finally the High Priest said to him, "I ask you under oath: Are you the Son of God?" Jesus replied, "You say that I am." î&#x20AC;&#x201C;en the High Priest said, "He has spoken against God!! Do we need anymore witnesses?" î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e other priests replied, "He should die for what he has said!"

Meanwhile, in the courtyard, a servant girl came up to Peter and said, "You were with Jesus of Galilee." Peter said, "I don't know what you're talking about." î&#x20AC;&#x201C;en he went out to the gateway where another girl saw him and told the people around her, "î&#x20AC;&#x201C;is man was with Jesus of Galilee."

Peter said, "I swear I don't know him!" After a little while, the people standing around the gate came up to Peter and said, "Surely you were with him, your accent gives you away." (People from Galilee had a diďŹ&#x20AC;erent accent to people in Jerusalem.)

Now Peter became angry and said, "I don't know the man!!" Immediately a rooster crowed. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;en Peter remembered what Jesus had told him, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times." He went outside and cried. He had denied knowing Jesus because he was scared that he might be arrested.

To sentence someone to death, the Jewish leaders had to have the Roman Governor's permission. So even thought it was now getting towards dawn (and against Jewish law!) they took Jesus before the Roman governor, Pilate, who asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus replied, "î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ose are your words." î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e priests and chief elders then began accusing him and still, Jesus did nothing to defend himself (much to the amazement of Pilate). î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e governor said, "Don't you hear how they're accusing you?" But still, Jesus didn't say anything!

Pilate didn't know what to do with Jesus. Because he didn't think he had done anything wrong, he sent him to the Jewish King Herod. Herod was pleased

that Jesus had been arrested and questioned him, but again, Jesus said nothing. So Herod made fun of him and Herod's soldiers beat Jesus up. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;en Herod sent Jesus back to Pilate as he didn't know what to do with Jesus either!

It was the custom, at the time Passover, for the Roman governor to release one Jewish prisoner chosen by the ordinary people. At that time, they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. When Pilate asked the crowd who they wanted released. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e Priests stirred up the crowd so they called for Barabbas. Pilate asked them, "What do you want me to do with Jesus, who is called King of the Jews?" î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ey answered back, let by the Priests, "Crucify him! Crucify him!"

Pilate asked them, "Why? What crime has he committed?"

But, they shouted even louder, "CRUCIFY HIM!! CRUCIFY HIM!!" When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, he took some water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. (î&#x20AC;&#x201C;is is where we get the phrase 'washing our hands of something' when we want to show that we don't want the blame if something goes wrong!) î&#x20AC;&#x201C;en Pilate released Barabbas. Jesus was ďŹ&#x201A;ogged, and handed him over to be cruciďŹ ed. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e governor's soldiers took Jesus into the governor's palace and gathered around him. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ey stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him and then twisted together a crown of thorns and rammed it on his head. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ey put a staďŹ&#x20AC; in his right hand and knelt in front of him and mocked him saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!" î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ey spat on him, and took the staďŹ&#x20AC; and struck him on the head again and again. After they had beaten him up, they took oďŹ&#x20AC; the robe and put his own clothes on him. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;en they led him away to crucify him.

As the soldiers led him away, they grabbed a man named Simon, (who was from Cyrene and on his way in from the country) from the watching crowd and made him carry the cross because Jesus had been beaten so badly, he was too weak to do so.

At Road to Resurrection youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll step back in time and follow Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; footsteps through the week leading up to his death and resurrection. Along the path youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll encounter people whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met Jesus and become part of an incredible experience.

Draw closer to Jesus at this memorable event.

Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Triumphant Ent ry into Jerusalem, the Last Supper, Ar rest in the Garden a nd his Trial before Pilate.

When they came to the place where they executed people, called Golgotha or 'î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e Place of the Skull', they oďŹ&#x20AC;ered Jesus cheap wine to drink to help stop the pain, but after he tasted it, he refused to drink it. When they had nailed Jesus up on to the Cross, the Jewish rulers among the crowd sneered at Jesus, saying, "If you are so wonderful and the King of the Jews, save yourself." An inscription, in Greek, Latin and Hebrew, was written on a bit of wood and put over Jesus' head on the cross. It read, "THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS." Jesus prayed to God, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing."

Two thieves were being cruciďŹ ed at the same time as Jesus, one on the right and one on the left. One of the criminals who hung next to Jesus hurled insults at him, "Aren't you the Christ?

Why don't you save yourself and us, too!!" But the other thief disagreed with him and said, "Aren't you afraid of God since you are under the same sentence? We are being punished because we did wrong things. But this man has done nothing wrong." î&#x20AC;&#x201C;en he said to Jesus, "Remember me when you come into your Kingdom." Jesus told him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in heaven." î&#x20AC;&#x201C;is happened about 12noon, and from then until 3pm it was dark because the sun did not shine! At 3 o'clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "My God, My God, why have you left me?" î&#x20AC;&#x201C;en Jesus cried out in a loud voice again, "It is ďŹ nished!" And he died. A Roman centurion, was standing in front of Jesus and heard his cry and saw how he died. He said, "Surely, this man was the Son of God!" Because the next day was the Sabbath (Saturday, the Jewish Holy Day), the Jews didn't want the bodies left on the crosses.

Later, an important Jewish council member called Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for Jesus's body. Pilate gave his permission for Joseph to remove his body.

He and Nicodemus (another council member) took Jesus' body and wrapped it in strips of cloth (which was the Jewish burial custom). Near the place where Jesus was cruciďŹ ed, there was a garden that Joseph owned and in the garden was a tomb that no one else had ever used.

So they buried Jesus in this tomb. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e Romans put their best guards at the tomb and the Jewish Leaders had a massive stone rolled in front of it to stop Jesus's followers stealing the body and saying that he had come back to life.

Early on Sunday morning, Mary Magdelene, one of Jesus's followers, and some other women went to the tomb to put spices onto the body to stop it smelling. When they got to the tomb, they discovered that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ey wondered what had happened! Suddenly two men dressed is white robes that glowed appeared in the tomb. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e women were very frightened, but the men said "He is not here! He has risen just as he said." î&#x20AC;&#x201C;en the women remembered what Jesus had said. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e women left the tomb and went to tell the other disciples about what had happened. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e others did not believe the women because it sounded like rubbish! But Peter and John got up and ran to the tomb and found it empty with only strips of cloth lying in it. When they saw the empty grave,they believed that Jesus had risen. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;en the disciples went home Mary stayed at the tomb and was very sad and crying. She turned away from the tomb and saw Jesus there, but she didn't know it was Jesus. "Why are you crying? Who are you looking for?" Jesus asked her. She thought it was the gardener so said to him, "If you took Jesus's body away, please tell me where he is so I can go and see him."

Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned to look at the man properly and saw that it was Jesus.

Said said to him, "Rabboni!" (this means 'teacher' in Hebrew) She when to hug Jesus, but he said, "Don't hold on to me, because I have not gone back to heaven yet. But go and tell my disciples that I am going back to heaven."

So Mary went back and told the disciples all about what had happened and that she had seen Jesus alive!

Later on the same day, two of Jesus's followers were walking

from Jerusalem to a town called Emmaus (about 11 kilometres or 7 miles). î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ey were talking about what had happened over the last few days. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ey were joined by a stranger on the road and started walking with him. It was Jesus but they didn't recognise him.

Jesus asked them "What are you talking about?" î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ey told Jesus all that had happened and about the women going to the tomb, the Angels telling them that Jesus was Alive and the other disciples ďŹ nding the tomb empty. Jesus then explained to them about what the old Jewish prophets had said about Jesus coming back to life (although they still didn't recognise him!)

When they had ďŹ nished talking, they were near Emmaus. It was getting late, so the two men asked Jesus to stay the night with them. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ey sat down to dinner and Jesus said grace. As he broke the bread to eat, the disciple realised it was Jesus. (î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ey might have seen the holes in Jesus's hands where the nails had been.) î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ey were amazed and ran all the way back to Jerusalem to tell the other disciples in Jerusalem what had happened! î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ey found the other disciples in a locked room because they were scared of being found by the Jewish leaders. While the two disciples were saying what had happened, Jesus appeared in the room and said "Peace be with you!" î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ey were scared and thought Jesus was a ghost. But Jesus said "Look at my hands and feet, it is me. Touch my hands where the nails went in. A ghost doesn't have a body!"

He showed them his pierced hands where the nails had gone in and they believed it was him, Alive! Jesus ate some ďŹ sh with them and explained why he had died and that he would soon go back to heaven. He also explained that he would send a helper, the Holy Spirit, to live in and help all of Jesus's followers.

He told them not to leave Jerusalem until the Helper had come. He also told them to go and tell other people about him and that he loves everyone so much he died for them.

But there was one disciple who wasn't there when Jesus ďŹ rst appeared, his name was î&#x20AC;&#x201C;omas and he doubted that Jesus really was alive. He said that unless he saw the holes in Jesus hands, he wouldn't believe that he was raised from the dead. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e next week, the disciples were in the room again. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;is time î&#x20AC;&#x201C;omas was with them.

Even though the room was locked, Jesus still appeared to them. He showed î&#x20AC;&#x201C;omas his hands. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;omas touched him and said, "My Lord and My God!" And believed that Jesus was alive.

40 days after Jesus rose from the dead, he got his followers together and took them out to Bethany. He prayed for them and while he was doing so, he was carried back up into Heaven. A shining cloud covered Jesus, but suddenly two men dressed in white shining clothes stood next to Jesus and said "Why are you looking into the sky? Jesus who you saw going into heaven will return the same way!" î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e disciples went back to Jerusalem as Jesus had told them to do. A while later, the disciples were in a house waiting to celebrate Pentecost (the Jewish harvest festival). Suddenly there was a sound like a strong blowing wind in the house. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ey saw things like ďŹ&#x201A;ames of ďŹ re that came and rested on each of the disciples. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ey were ďŹ lled with the Holy Spirit, the helper just as Jesus had promised. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ey went outside and to tell people about Jesus and found that people from lots of diďŹ&#x20AC;erent countries could understand what they were saying. (People from diďŹ&#x20AC;erent countries were staying in Jerusalem then for the Pentecost festival.) î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e people didn't understand this was possible, some people thought they were all drunk! But Peter said "How can we be drunk? It's nine o'clock in the morning!" î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e disciples found that by the power of the Holy Spirit, they could speak lots of diďŹ&#x20AC;erent languages. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ey told all the people about Jesus and what he did for everyone. Over 3000 people became Christians that day!

People have been telling others about Jesus all over the world ever since.

Do’s & Don’ts during a Flood Special to The Record

Here are some safety tips to prepare for rising water—and what to do once a flood has begun.

Safety Tips Before a Flood Avoid building in a floodplain.

Construct barriers (levees, beams, floodwalls) to stop floodwater from entering your home.

Seal walls in basements with waterproofing compounds to avoid seepage.

If a flood is likely in your area, listen to the radio or television for information.

Know the difference between a flood watch and a flood warning. A watch means flooding is possible. A warning meansflooding is occurring or will occur soon.

When a Flood is Imminent Be prepared! Pack a bag with important items in case you need to evacuate. Don't forget to include needed medications.

If advised to evacuate your home, do so immediately.

If there is any possibility of a flash flood, move immediately to higher ground.

If possible, bring in outdoor furniture and move essential items to an upper floor.

Turn off utilities at the main switches or valves if instructed to do so. Disconnect electrical appliances.

During a Flood Do not walk through moving water. As little as 6 inches (15 centimeters) of moving water can make you fall.

If you have to walk in water, wherever possible, walk where the water is not moving. Use a stick to check the firmness of the ground in front of you.

Do not drive into flooded areas. If floodwaters rise around your car, abandon the car and move to higher ground if you can do so safely.

Do not touch electrical equipment if you are wet or standing in water.

After a Flood Listen for news reports to learn whether the community's water supply is safe to drink.

Avoid floodwaters; water may be contaminated by oil, gasoline, or raw sewage. Water may also be electrically charged from underground or downed power lines.

Avoid moving water.

Be aware of areas where floodwaters have receded. Roads may have weakened and could collapse under the weight of a car.

Stay away from downed power lines, and report them to the power company.

Return home only when authorities indicate it is safe.

Stay out of any building if it is surrounded by floodwaters.

Service damaged septic tanks, cesspools, pits, and leaching systems as soon as possible. Damaged sewage systems are serious health hazards.

Clean and disinfect everything that got wet. Mud left from floodwater can contain sewage and chemicals.
