OC approves OCEDC staffing contract David Ball

For The Record

The Orange County Commissioners Court agreed to stick with a staffing agreement between the Orange County Economic Development Corporation and the county through Dec. 31, 2015 when they held their meeting on the afternoon of September 28.

County Judge Brint Carlton and Precinct 3 Commissioner John Banken were absent from the meeting.

Douglas Manning, assistant county attorney, said he looked at a number of different things in researching the matter. He said the contract is based on the employee, OCEDC director Bobby Fillyaw, performed certain services that were beneficial for both

Orange County and the OCEDC. Manning said the motion approved by the commissioners at their July 27 BURTON meeting was to withhold their contribution of $68,000 and to not renew their participation in the OCEDC, not to terminate the staff and purchasing agreement. He said there were three options open to the court they could take: 1. Keep the current agreement effective through December 31, 2015.

2. Come up with a new agreement to provide and fill the gap now and until the end

BCHS student learns leadership from others David Ball

For The Record

Irons sharpens iron.

Hunter Long is an “average teenager,” by his own admission, but his recent nomination for a trip to the National Leadership Conference presented by Envision in Washington, D.C. speaks to a young man who is committed to a path of honor and excellence.

Envision partners with several youth leadership organizations and is an “experiential education organization dedicated to enabling students of all ages to explore their interests and gain learning experiences beyond the classroom,” according to their website, www.envisionexperience.com.

Long attends Bridge City High School and is a member

of the class of 2018. He is involved in extra-curricular tennis through the school. He is also involved in his youth group and church, First Assembly of God, Bridge City.

Long’s favorite subject is history, he calls himself “a history geek,” and he has had an interest in the military, specifically the Marine Corps, from a young age.

At fourteen, Long joined

Venture Crew 2086, JNCA Marine Corps Division, under the leadership of Lt. Col. Dru Crochet, his commanding officer. Venture Crew, which began in 2008, is available to youth 14-21, and offers an opportunity to get experience and exposure to military training. The youth participate in a type of basic training, a boot camp, for a week in Beauregard, La. They learn movements and land navigation. Additionally, the group goes on “ops” throughout the year together, says Long. The members of Venture Crew 2086 also serve their community by supporting veterans through their local VFW, and Veteran’s Day fundraisers such as the poppies which will be sold in the area on November 7 and 8, 2015. Venture

Crew 2086 serves as Color Guard for LC-M football games as well.

Long was nominated to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum: National Security – Diplomacy, Intelligence & Defense in Washington, D.C. from September 22 through 27, 2015. The NYLF Security forum is “a six-day program that prepares high school students for careers in defense, intelligence, and the diplomatic corps.” Nominations are made anonymously, but Long stood out as a candidate for this honor because he “is a natural leader, very insightful, with an intense interest in domestic and foreign affairs.”

Thirty-one year old case leaves unanswered questions Box of bones is all that remains Debby Schamber For The Record

The bones were found by the land owner on New Year’s Day in 1984. He didn’t always go to that parcel of land located near Interstate 10 and FM1132. But, on this day he did. He found what remained of a young life taken too soon. The bones are believed to have been there at least a year. Time and the rugged outdoors had taken their toll. Some bones were missing while the remainder were left to bleach out in the sun.

Over the course of the next 15 years, investigators nation-

A forensic artist used the skull to sketch a picture of what the girl is thought to look like. The sketch was circulated to other police agencies but this was one of many dead ends in the case.

wide requested information from this case to compare it to other missing persons cases.

However, it was always a dead end.

In search of answers, notorious killer Henry Lee Lucas was transported from his prison cell to Orange County. He was to point out an area where he said he had killed and dumped a white female in 1977. A search of the area did not turn up any remains. Lucas was notorious for lying about murders he committed and this case was ruled out as a crime he committed.

The box of bones was sent to Texas Tech for study and where DNA was extracted.

The bones are believed to be of a white female about 14-18 years old. She may have been

about 4 feet 10 inches to 5 feet 2 inches tall. She also had brown hair, but her weight and eye color are unknown. She was wearing a white terry cloth short sleeved shirt. Indications are she had previously worn braces on her teeth, although none were present when she was discovered.

The cause of the girl’s death was ruled a possible decapitation.

A forensic artist used the outline of the skull to draw a picture of what the girl is expected to look like.

Over the years the case has been handled by various investigators. Each tried to find out the identity of the girl.

Most recently, Detective David Lampman, of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, ac-

quired the case. He began delving into the small and somewhat empty file. For some unknown reason and with thousands of cases on the Doe Network he was drawn to what could possibly be the link between the two cases. The descriptions matched and the sketch looked eerily similar to the picture on the site. In addition, Lampman found an Arizona newspaper story online linking Mindi Chambers to the remains found in Orange County.

Mindi Chambers was 17 years old when she disappeared from Mesa, Arizona. She was 4-feet-11-inches tall and weighed 86 pounds. She had sandy brown hair, brown eyes

BC student Hunter Long ference, he found some students with interests similar to his, but “everyone came from different walks of life,” Long notes. Envision has several programs intended for students and according to their site, they are “dedicated to enabling students to discover their career and life interests, and to providing them with the skills, resources and experiences they need to successfully achieve their goals.” The conference focused on “the many disciplines that help keep this country – and its citizens – safe,” and students were provided an opportunity to “get an in-depth look at how the United States plans for peace and prepares for crisis.”

He recognizes it was his

leadership skills, problem solving ability, and willingness to take charge when needed that likely made him a candidate for the nomination, but he believes he gained skills and knowledge from the conference that will benefit him greatly, “I learned how government actually works, how they must work together.” Long and his group had to simulate building an executive branch, over which he presided as president. They performed a voting simulation and filled his cabinet. “We had to fight a war on drugs. It is so much harder than we think it is,” he notes.

Some of the highlights of his trip to D.C. included a guest speaker who shared informa-

tion on the Wounded Warrior Project. “I really learned a lot about the price of freedom,” Long says, “it is a great cost.

We need to cherish what we have, our rights and freedoms, and honor those who gave the ultimate price.” When he arrived at the conference, he found himself with 24 strangers, “but by the end, they became my family,” and he hopes to get to see them again.

The key note speaker was Chuck Hagle, the former Secretary of Defense and Senator from Nebraska, but the experience that stands out the most to Long was his trip to Arlington National Cemetery where he witnessed the Changing of the Guard. He also spent time exploring D.C.

Lions Carnival opens tain the students in attendance.

Some new games- High Striker, Ring the Bell, and a new golf game- will be introduced this year. The usual rides and games will also make their appearance as well as food vendors and face painting by docents of the Stark Museum of Art. “They’re (the docents) really talented and we appreciate the help,” Rusty Honeycutt, carnival chairman, said.

Chicken on a Stick and chocolate covered strawberries will be served for the first time.

There’s also a second fryer for funnel cakes. Other favorites such as Lions (Bingo), the famous David Burgers, chicken kabobs and pork kabobs. All of the vendors are Lions.

Radar the Clown will make regular appearances every night.

The American Red Cross will be on the grounds to offer any first aid needed.

“We’ve got a lot of good help setting things up,” said Honeycutt. “It takes a lot longer to set things up then to take them down. We pray for good weather. The Bridge City, Noon, Vidor, and Little Cypress Lions Clubs helped too.”

He said lots of people who moved away will come back home for the Lions Carnival.

“They see their high school friends and they’re reuniontype meetings. Thousands visit every year,” he said.

Honeycutt said the crowd will pick up after 9 p.m. if it’s a home football game on Friday night.

“There will be a sea of people,” he said.

The Lions Carnival has a multi-generational history, as according to information provided by the club.

The Orange Lions Club held its first charity carnival in 1938. It consisted of several booths which were designed by the members. Most of the booths proved to be real money makers. Unfortunately, not all booths were profitable.

The first carnival ride made its debut a year or so later. The first ride led to many more for the growing little carnival as other rides were added over the years.

As the carnival profits increased, the rides became more and more important. In 1947 a merry-go-round was purchased and in 1948, a ferris wheel, and so until the club grew to its present carnival size.

At first the club set up its carnival in West End Park but it soon outgrew that area. The club purchased 6.8 acres of land at the present site of the City Park at Green Avenue and Adam’s Bayou, at a cost of about $1,500. It was their hope a clubhouse would be built there.

This was never done and the land was donated to the city of Orange in 1947 to be used for park purposes.

For many years the carnival was set up on the grounds around Orange City Hall. The carnival outgrew this area too and relocated to its present site.

Since 1961 several area clubs

have been invited to participate with game and food booths.

These clubs depend on their profits from the carnival to pay for their charity work during the year.

In the beginning the carnival was held twice a year. The first one was held during the election months to raise money at the expense of the politicians and their supporters. Many folks were willing to outbid each other for the opportunity to buy baseballs to throw at the political candidates to dunk them into tubs of cold water.

The area politicians were always willing to join in the good-natured fund and help the club.

Setting up, running, and maintaining one carnival each year proved to be a lot of hard work for the Lions. They often had to call on friends and family members to assist in manning the rides and operating the booths. Holding two carnivals a year, as the club did in its early days, proved just too much of a chore.

To eliminate this hardship, it was decided the carnival would be held only once each year and it would be held the last week of September and the first week of October.

In the past the Lions used several methods to advertise their dates of the carnival.

They first posted signs on city buses. One year they sponsored a parade.

In 1952 they hired a marathon pole sitter, “Shipwreck Kelly,” to attract attention to the carnival. Kelly was paid $50

other than to withhold funds from the OCEDC. He added the OCEDC was delegated authority to make the contract.

Barry Burton, Precinct 2 commissioner, proposed keeping the current staffing agreement in place until December 2015. The funding will come through the current OCEDC funds and the court will be reimbursed.

The court also approved acceptance of the Orange County grant funds for a radio tower.

Ryan Peabody, emergency management coordinator, said the funds came in last week.

The federal grant portion is

with two people he grew close to, Paige McGrath and William Strojek. The experience was “exceedingly important to me,” says Long. He learned valuable skills that he will apply in his life, “I took away more leadership skills and understanding.” Long says that he learned better ways of solving problems and working together. “Learn to trust people, share information, involve other people,” he suggests, “don’t just do things for yourself and not others.”

Long has learned the value of forging strong relationships, “It is not blood that makes you family,” Long notes.

Also in 1952 the carnival experienced a minor failure.

It was the first time the Orange Lions have ever taken their carnival out of the city.

The Port Arthur Lions asked them to join with their club for a special event. The two clubs were to split the profits 50-50.

The net profit was $450 for the Orange club. The venture was a financial disaster and it was decided never to try it again.

Other problems the carnival experienced over the years was a blackout in 1941 caused by the war forced the carnival to be canceled. It was decided for the best interest of the war effort; the carnival would have to wait.

In 1942 several pastors from local churches complained about the gambling at the carnival and wanted the sheriff to close it down. With the gambling criticism from these men, several games were changed and prizes were given to the winners instead of cash.

In 1960 the club set a new all-time carnival record.

The carnival remained on the grounds for 41 days while it rained and rained and rained.

The carnival grossed slightly more than $10,000 and with expenses, about $1,200, which they considered a success due to the weather.

“The Lions are very proud of their home-owned carnival and feel fortunate ti has operated almost accident-free over the years. The carnival is a much anticipated event.”

Case leaves unanswered questions and once wore braces on her teeth and were removed before her disappearance.

She left her home and walked her two half-sisters, Misti and Aleca to school. When her sisters returned home, Mindi was gone and the front door was open. There were no indications of a struggle. Mindi’s purse, identification and other belongings were left behind.

The last person known to have seen Mindi was a clerk at a local convenience store where she made a phone call. A witness reported he saw someone driving a green and tan-colored station wagon drive into the parking lot, grab Mindi, and pull her into the vehicle.

Mindi was never heard from again, according to the Facebook page Justice for Mindi Chambers.

Mindi’s half-sister Misti Ann Chambers, attested to the fact, their father Allen, drove a green station wagon at the time.

This was not the first time tragedy would strike in the Chambers family. Mindi’s mother, Mary Xenos Chambers, was found dead in a bathtub in May 1968 in her New York apartment. Her husband, Allen, was suspected in her drowning death, since he had scratches on his arms as if someone had clawed at him while fighting for their life. However, he was never charged.

Mindi was two years old at the time and lived with Allen’s mother until her death. She later lived with her aunt while her father was serving time in prison. Upon his release in

1972, he took her back. Her aunt sadly watched her leave.

Three days before her 1982 disappearance, Mindi told the police Allen had been molesting her over the course of five years. Child Protective Services immediately placed her in the care of her stepmother who was divorcing Allen at the time.

No one reported Mindi missing until her aunt did in April 1995. Her relatives stated she had a history of running away and they thought she had simply walked out of her life to escape her problems. With no reports of Mindi missing, it appeared her father may have gotten away with ever being charged.

Allen, who was an over the road truck driver, died in December 1994 when his truck

From Page 1

ran off the rainy, slick road and overturned in Virginia. This ended any chance of prosecution and closing a case.

If Mindi were alive today, she would be 51.

There was not any blood evidence kept after the death of Allen Chambers. DNA collected from an aunt was not a match. However, a researcher at Texas Tech is still reviewing the case, according to Lampman.

“These cases once you start working on them consume you,” Lampman said. “You think of every angle you can to make some head way.”

Anyone with information on this case is encouraged to call the Orange County Sheriff’s Office at 409-769-6321.

He is also grateful for all the leadership he received, “I am thankful for my advisors at Venture Crew who were wonderful role models sacrificing their time and keeping their commitment to be there for us.”

He has his sights set on the military, and has dedicated his time and energy to developing skills to reach his long term goals. The objective in nominating a student for this type of program is for “him to explore those interests, give him the confidence to use his talent and ability, and spur him to set high goals and achieve them.” Long intends to utilize his experience, knowledge, and skills toward achieving

those high goals. He is solidly focused on his future, a future he has been working toward since he was very young. And as for the rest of his generation, Hunter believes they have a great deal to offer, he suggests, “a little faith is beneficial.”

Long further asserts that events such as this conference are a reminder that it “is still possible to have faith in this generation.” He got to experience and learn about real struggles. “We got to witness the ultimate price of freedom,” he says. There were 309 people in attendance, and Long suggests, “We are capable. There were many future leaders there. We can be successful and build a great and wonderful nation.”

THE WORLD LOVED YOGI Lawrence Peter Berra “Yogi,” age 90, died Tuesday evening, Sept. 22, at his New Jersey home. For most of my life as an adult, Yogi was a baseball legend and an American original.

He was a ten-time World Series champion with the New York Yankees, a three- time American League MVP and a 18-time All Star catcher. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1972. A native of St. Louis, Berra signed with the Yankees in 1943 before serving in the Navy in WWII. He came to the major league in 1946. I recall listening to the game, with a friend at a small restaurant in Beaumont, when Yogi caught Don Larsen’s perfect game in the 1956 World Series. It’s the only perfect game in post season history. Berra played 18 years with the Yankees and retired in 1963.

He spent one year as manager. He joined the New York Mets in 1965 as coach, player and served four years as their manager.

Over the next 10 years he returned to the Yankees coaching them for eight seasons and managing two years. He was then a coach for the Houston Astros. Berra appeared in 21 World Series as a player and manager and won 13 of them. Berra, who quit school after the eighth grade, was also known for the quotes he made famous. Here are a few of Yogi one liners. “When you come to a fork in the road take it.”**“It’s like deja vu all over again.”**“You can observe a lot by just watching.”**“The future ain’t what it used to be.”**“It gets late early out here.”**“It was impossible to get a conversation going, every body was talking too much.”**“I’m not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia, let them walk to school like I did.”**“Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps parents off the streets.”**“Pair up in threes.”**“Never answer an anonymous letter.”**“Baseball is 98 percent mental and the other half is physical.”**“I knew the record would stand until it was broken,” is what he wrote Johnny Bench when he broke Yogi’s record for home runs by a catcher.

POPE FRANCIS TOUCHED MILLIONS IN US Sunday Pope Francis ended his United States trip with a Mass in Philadelphia. V.P. Joe Biden was among those at the airport to say goodbye. Francis thanked everyone for working so hard to make his visit possible and he asked Biden “to renew my gratitude to President Obama and to the members of Congress. My days with you have been brief but they have been days of grace for me and I pray for you too.” Millions of people got to see the Pope and were touched by his presence. It was a whirlwind few days for the Pontiff as he crammed as many activities as possible in one day. Although he will be 79 years old in December, he kept up with the pace. Besides holding Mass for large crowds, he visited three cities, Washington, New York and Philadelphia. He met with the President, spoke to a joint meeting of Congress and addressed world leaders at the United Nations. Throughout his visit Pope Francis was treated like a star, drawing large crowds just to catch a glimpse of him. During his visit the Pope talked about the need for helping the poor, treating immigrants and refugees with respect and working towards solving the worlds environmental problems, including climate change. He told Congress to work for the common good. Before arriving in the U.S. Pope Francis spent a couple of days in Cuba.

TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME 10 Years Ago-2005 The Penny and County Record published and distributed its last paper on Sept 21 before Hurricane Rita arrived Sept. 24. At that time The Record had a large group of writers, Darryl Brinson, Vicki Parfait, Margaret Toal, Robert Hankin, Kaz, Capt.

Dickie and Capt. Chuck and other contributors. Stelly, who had been writing a column for several years was the only one who wrote about Rita coming our way. His headline was “Rita not invited to Orange County.” That week we had two homecoming games and also the biggest match up in the state, West OrangeStark and Newton. The rest is history. By Friday afternoon, the winds were strong and howling at 50 mph. On Thursday Margaret was the first to call. She wanted to see if she could get paid so she could evacuate early. Then we heard from others including the carriers. By Friday morning at 10 a.m., we had everyone paid.

We were naive, we told them we would see them next week. It

would be three weeks before we would publish again. Most of our carriers didn’t return and the only feature writers we had were Mark Dunn and Margaret. The problem was no electricity, no water . The generators FEMA promised were diverted to a prison in Tennessee. Bobby Cormier and the Well Service came to the rescue. They loaned generators that provided Bridge City and Orangefield with a water supply. On the day after Rita passed leaving so much destruction, with true dedication Asst. Supt. Joe Chenella was back in town with gloves on working at the schools.

By week two, C130 Air Force planes streaked by spraying for mosquitoes. Ironically, Rita was such a wet less storm that Commissioners Court extended the burn band. By the end of the second week, many residents wanted to start burning debris. Judge Thibodeaux said it was a real problem for those living off of public roads where debris was not getting picked up. All hospitals and nursing homes had been evacuated. Many of the elderly died, the move was too much. Bubba Hubbard was moved from a Beaumont hospital. Some who died were longtime residents.

Capt. Bob Clary, 85, died Oct. 6; Bobby Kendrick, 54, of Bridge City, was killed in an auto accident in Terrel, Texas. He had returned to Bridge City to check on things and was heading back to the Dallas area when he lost control of his car to avoid hitting a dog. Everyone’s friend Mason Hebert, a colorful character known to most B.C. folks, died Oct. 3 of a heart attack while evacuated with his family in Spring, Texas. He was 54 years old.

He was proud of he and Nola’s child Maggie. He was a true Bridge City Cardinal fan. If anyone ever traded at Dupuis Service Station, they knew the big, happy-go-lucky guy.

40 Years Ago-1975 The Bridge City Cardinals pulled out a heart-stopper 21-14 victory over the South Park Greenies. The game was scoreless in the first half. Tony Mulholland provided the rushing with over 100 yards. Safety Gary Worster came up with the big defensive plays.*****Stark High completely shut down West Orange in the first half and jumped to a 12-0 lead on a pair of Craig Couvillion to Mark Bennin scoring strikes. Tailback Lorrance Wills ignited a second half comeback for the West Orange Chiefs and tied the game 12-12. Couvillion, who had just gotten out of the hospital with a hip pointer, drove his Tigers 93 yards for the go ahead touchdown with a 43 yard bomb to Wendall Rhodes.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Alcee Trahan ran into Joe Boudreaux and aks him to ride wit’ him to Crowley to apply fo’ dat mailman job.

“Dey have an opening and me, I go get dat job carrying de mail,” Trahan said.

Arriving at de Post Office, Boudreaux said, “Me, I won’t go in.

I’ll wait fo’ you in de lobby.”

It seem like hours befo’ Trahan reappeared.

“You got dat job, you?” asked Boudreaux.

“No, I don’t want dat job, me,” answered Trahan.

“Mais, why?” questioned Boudreaux.

“It’s like dis,” Trahan said, “Me, I fill out dis long questionnaire, 400 questions. I answer dem all. Den I get to de las’ one. It aks, how far it is to de moon? I say I don’t know, but if dat is de route, me, I sho don’t want de job.”

C’EST TOUT Last week I wrote that the Republican Party was unraveling.

Two days later, on Friday, House Speaker John Boehner announced he was quitting congress on Oct. 30. He just didn’t want to continue fighting a battle with the extremist in his Party.

They are not interested in governing, they want to rule. They don’t want to compromise to make government work, they want to be disruptive. Boehner presided over the worst congress last session and this session is not far behind. Boehner said there were some false prophets that have made the job of governing very difficult. No doubt he was speaking of Ted Cruz and other radicals. They will champion a dead horse over and over again, knowing it ain’t going anywhere. They would like to again shut the government down just to make a statement. That’s not governing. Boehner just said enough already. He could leave on a high note if he would bring the senate immigration bill to the floor for a vote. For six years a highway jobs bill has waited to be voted on.

In both bills he could get even with the radicals who have made his life difficult and do the country and his successor a big favor.

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, of California, will probably become the next speaker, but not until a lot of blood letting. He inherits the same problem with the 30 or 40 extremist in his party. Politics for him will be real tricky. As for John Boehner, he walks away from a 25 year career in congress. One of 12 children, raised by a bar owner, John hasn’t done bad. The highlight of his career was last week when Pope Francis, who he invited, addressed the Joint Congress. Boehner, 65, will most likely end up a very wealthy man. He’s got a lot of friends and allies in congress. He will leave as a respected speaker who tried his best. He has strong ties to the business establishment and will probably get seven figures as a lobbyist. He must wait a year by law but he can work behind the scenes while he’s on the golf course. The body he headed will still be dysfunctional but it will be someone else’s problem and the American people will continue to pay the price.*****Gotta go. Thanks for your time.

OSCO deputy takes on bigger challenges

5A

Editors note: this is part of an ongoing series into the lives of local police officers. e intention is to build a good line of communication between the officers and the public in light of recent headlines in cities across the nation.

By Debby Schamber e Record Jessica Johnnie has not stepped down from a challenge and she is not about to start now.

Johnnie was the only female on patrol and now with her recent promotion she will take on some of the most heart wrenching and tough cases anyone can handle.

Her caseload will involve many types of crimes, but, she will primarily handle cases involving crimes against people. Johnnie says she will miss patrol. But, she is looking forward to the other side of law enforcement where she will put her heart and soul into the cases and see the offender prosecuted. is is what all investigators are searching for and gets their adrenaline pumping and ready to take on another case.

Johnnie is a Bridge City High School graduate. In high school she excelled in sports such as softball. After high school she Lamar-Orange where she studied criminal justice. During this time she also interned at the Sheriff ’s Office. She graduated from the police academy in 2006.

Johnnie has her advanced peace officers license. e people at the Sheriff ’s Office became like family and Johnnie knew this was where she wanted to be. However, at the time there were not any patrol positions available. John-

She will take on a caseload of various cases but will primarily handle cases involving crimes against people. nie took the next available job, but it was in dispatch. is was not a totally bad thing since this opportunity helped prepare her for life on patrol. Within eight months her chance to work on patrol became available and she readily took it. She plans to keep her telecommunications license active in case she is needed. “is is something I have always wanted to do since I was 12 years old,” Johnnie said. “I knew I wanted to make a difference.”

During high school, Johnnie dreamed of becoming a police officer and moving to a big city.

Since then her plans have changed.

“I am grounded here,” Johnnie said.

Johnnie is happily married and

has two step-daughters. When not at work, she prefers to spend time with her family.

She hopes to be an inspiration to not only the girls in her life, but to others as well.

Johnnie worked hard to achieve her dreams and she encourages other females to do the same. ere are close to 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the United States at all levels of government, which employ nearly 800,000 full-time law enforcement officers. In 1971, the FBI first started tracking a gender breakdown of police officers. Although the statistics are dated regarding policewomen, there are a little more than 100,000 female police officers in the United States. Women have made

Today policewomen account for more than 13 percent of police officers, and they serve in all types and sizes of police agencies, in all ranks, in all kinds of work assignments, and in all parts of the country, according to information from the Uniform Crime Report. “if you are a female, you can’t let it discourage you,” Johnnie said. “All officers bring something different.”

Johnnie took her job as a patrol deputy knowing she was the first female in 14 years to do the job. She hopes she is not the last and there are more females aspiring to become police officers.

PET OF THE WEEK

Rad Each week The Record Newspapers features a pet, or pets of the week for adoption through local shelters and rescue organizations. This week’s pet is from the West Orange Animal Shelter.

Rad was adopted out of the Pinehurst Animal Shelter, but his adopter never finished the adoption, so now he finds himself in the West Orange Shelter on death row. He is scheduled to be euthanized on Friday, Oct. 2 and all because his human didn’t fulfill their responsibilities to him.

Rad is about 8-10 months old, needs vetting and needs to be neutered. He is very laid back and patient. Rad seems to get along with his kennel mates next to him.

For information on adopting or fostering Rad, please contact Traci at 409- 998-2614 or Debbie at 931-472-9003.

Sweet Baby Ray’s Crock Pot Chicken EVY’S CAJUN KITCHEN Evelyn Brandon e Record I love fall and everything that comes with it. ere’s football; cool, crisp mornings and evenings; beautiful weather for the most part and comfort foods.

Soups, gumbo, chili and casseroles.

I like to cook in my crock pot during fall, that way I can spend more time outdoors working in the yard and the garden and being at the farm. Fall is a great time to sit out under the huge oak in the back yard and listen to the chickens “talk” while they scratch the ground or when they lay their eggs - what a racket! It’s just so much more enjoyable if the air is cooled and not so humid you can’t breathe.

Anyway, back to the crock pot - I found this recipe on the Sweet

Baby Ray’s Facebook page and really liked the way it looked in the picture. e picture didn’t do this meal justice! It is delicious and will be perfect to just put in the crock pot and leave it until supper.

I hope you like this as much as I did.

Sweet Baby Ray’s Crock Pot Chicken 4-6 chicken breasts 1 bottle Sweet baby Ray’s sauce 1/4 cup vinegar 1 tsp red pepper flakes (I just used a dash) 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 tsp garlic powder (I also added salt, pepper, minced garlic and sliced onion) Mix everything but chicken.

Place chicken in crock pot (frozen is ok). Pour sauce mixture over chicken.

Cook on low 4-6 hours.

Hey, parents: Get your kids to this tourney COLBURN-FISHING CAPT. DICKIE COLBURN FOR THE RECORD

ere is no other club or organization that works any harder at promoting saltwater fishing in this area than the Saltwater Anglers League of Texas!

Better known as the S.A.L.T. Club, the family oriented organization is based out of Port Arthur and welcomes both members and non-members to their monthly meetings and tournaments hosted at their spacious new club house located on Pleasure Island. e club is totally committed to not only conservation, but providing opportunities for Mom and Dad to share the benefits of fishing with their youngsters.

While the core group of members responsible for the behind the scene work consists of very knowledgeable and competitive anglers, they still go the extra mile in keeping fishing simple and enjoyable. eir guest speakers each month cover everything from simply choosing the right tackle to the spawning cycle of every species of fish that inhabits the Sabine Lake ecosystem. ere is usually a Parks and Wildlife agent on hand to answer your questions and I have never visited with a single member that was unwilling to share his or her knowledge in regards to catching fish on Sabine Lake. eir meetings are absolutely a crash course for catching more fish!

If you have a youngster between the ages of 3 and 16, go mark Saturday October 10^th on your calendar right now. e S.A.L.T. Club is hosting its second annual “Kids” Tournament come rain or shine on that date. e fishing hours are 7 to 11am with the weigh in set for 11 until noon at the clubhouse on the island. ey have covered all lame excuses for not getting the kids there.

Cardinals outrun Indians

BC heads into open week with 4-1 season mark

By Gerry L. Dickert For e Record e Bridge City Cardinals certainly earned a week off after the battle they faced against Cleveland this past Friday.

On a night when fumbles, penalties and a porous defense nearly spelled doom for Bridge City, the Cardinals were happy to escape with a 42-35 win over District 10-4A, Division I foe Cleveland on Friday night at Larry B. Ward Stadium.

Now, Bridge City gets an open week to reload for a District 10-4A, Division I trip to face the Jasper Bulldogs on Oct. 9.

“If you had told me Cleveland would have scored 35 on us tonight, I wouldn’t have believe you,” Bridge City coach Dwayne DuBois said after the narrow victory over the winless Indi-

ans. “You can never underestimate anyone, especially in district play. We were fortunate to get out of here with a win tonight.” e win, which improves the Cardinals to 4-1 overall and 1-0 in league play, was a hard-fought battle that really wasn’t in hand until late in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Camden DuBois added an insurance touchdown with 4:14 left in the game, putting the Cards up by two TDs, 4228.

But, much as the game had gone before, the Cards felt the heat of Cleveland adding another TD with just under a minute left on a fluke-ish play in the end zone. On fourth down, Cleveland QB D.D. Jackson hurled a pass into the end zone which was pulled down by a BC defender. Before he could pull the ball in for the touchback, Leroy Scott wrestled the ball away for a Cleveland touchdown and a one score deficit.

Fortunate for Bridge City, the ensuing onside kick by the Indians was unsuccessful and the Cards held on for the win.

“I knew they were moving the football and they have some great athletes,” DuBois said. “I have a lot of confidence in our defense and we just didn’t play very well defensively tonight. at’s disappointing. We were up 21-7 at the half and I thought we were going to come back out and be in control. Cleveland started moving the ball and moving the ball and our defense just didn’t respond well enough to stop that.”

And while the defense struggled from opening kickoff to the final horn, the offense experienced its difficulties early, giving away possession twice on fumbled balls.

After taking the opening kickoff, the Cardinals See CARDINALS, PAGE 2B

managed just three plays before coughing up the ball. e defense held and forced Cleveland to turn the ball over on downs. e ďŹ rst play from scrimmage for the Cardinals on the ensuing possession saw another fumble, though it was recovered by BC. After that, spurred by a 54-yard run by Colt Poole, the Cards moved down the ďŹ eld, capped by a 3-yard TD run by Cayce Draper.

Cleveland answered, scoring a TD on a 26-yard pass by Jackson to Jaylon Williams to knot the game at 7-7.

Bridge City’s oense went to work, moving 79 yards in just four plays to retake the lead.

DuBois had a 25-yard run, completed a 39-yard pass to Brody McBee, then carried the ball the ďŹ nal six yards for the 14-7 advantage.

Cleveland was forced to punt on its next possession and it looked like the Cardinals were ready for the runaway. On the ďŹ rst play after the punt, another fumble and Cleveland was in business again. Or so it seemed. anks to a great defensive read by Hunter Denton, he was able to pick off the Cleveland pass and return it to the Indians’ 35 yard line. The next drive took eight plays but DuBois managed to get in from the 1 for a 21-7 lead with 7:50 remaining in the first half.

Cleveland opened the second half with a nine-play, 53-yard drive that ended with Jackson rolling in from the 10 yard line, cutting the BC lead to 21-14.

After the two teams traded punts, the Cards were able to get on the board again, thanks in great part to a great return by BC back to the Cleveland 11.

A Bridge City penalty, one of 10 that resulted in 90 lost yards, had potentially threatened another scoring opportunity. But Draper ran the ball twice and got into the end zone from 5 yards out to bring the score to 28-14.

Just as quickly, Cleveland was on the hunt again with Sam Alvarado going 67 yards the first time he ran the ball, getting into the end zone for a 28-21 difference.

Turnovers doom Mustangs

3B

MUSTANG INSIDER Meri Elen Jacobs For e Record e fourth quarter usually belongs to the Mustangs, but Saturday night the feisty Richmond Foster Falcons were able to score three touchdowns off of turnovers in the fourth quarter to beat WO-S, 42-14.

“I was really disappointed in the loss,” Head Coach Cornel ompson said. “I thought we would’ve scored more offensively. At times we fought hard, especially during the second and third quarter. If we coach for 48 minutes and play for 48 minutes, the score doesn’t matter. But we didn’t get that done.” e Mustangs hit pay dirt on their second possession of the game when quarterback Jack Dallas found Kentavious Miller in the end zone for a 13 yard touchdown. Dallas, who resumed his kicking duties from his freshman year last week, hit the PAT, tying the Falcons who scored on their first possession.

Seeing the end zone again was difficult as the Mustangs didn’t score again until the fourth quarter. Dallas hit receiver omas Wallace for six points on a 10 yard pass. Dallas’s PAT was good but it wasn’t near enough for the win.

“Overall, we won’t face better receivers than we saw Saturday,” ompson said. “eir receivers were tall, could run, could jump and were athletic. But we actually gained from that type of game. We gained the physicality, speed and toughness that we won’t see for a while.” e Mustangs are in the same situation they were at this point last year, facing Newton (1-3) who lost to Orangefield Friday.

“Last year we took them lightly and they handed our hat to us,” ompson said. “Hopefully, we will redeem ourselves this year.

We can’t afford to have two bad games in a row.”

Losing to Newton last year, 19-7, WO-S had never before allowed the Eagles to even score.

According to ompson, they have a lot of players who will play

LC-M topples Lady Cardinals Jeff Fults For e Record Regardless of records when these two teams square off, the outcome can never be pre determined. e Little Cypress-Mauriceville Lady Bears (0-2) opened with two disappointing losses while the Lady Cardinals of Bridge City (2-0) looked to be the team to beat.

LCM showed that they too are contenders in district play shutting down the Lady Cards in just three sets.

Although there were several lead changes in the first two sets 25-23, 25-23, the third set showed the grit and determination of the Bears down 23-14, they not only took advantage of BC errors but made outstanding plays to take match 27-25.

Orangefield over West Orange-Stark, Friday, 1725,25-18,25-21,25-22: In a game that was to be and exciting one fans were not let down, Sabryn Crain was superb again at the net with 23 kills and four aces and for WOS Aliyah Teal with 13 kills and 15 blocks.

With no clear cut team this year, positions are getting tight at the top. is week the Lady Cards travel to Hardin Jefferson tuesday and home against WOS. e LCM lady bears travel to Silsbee for a showdown with the lady Tigers, and home Friday against Madison Caraway goes up for kill as a packed house looks on. Bridge City lost in three straight games.

Trial, error produces better fish OUTDOORS WEEKLY CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE FOR THE RECORD

e horizon was filled with black clouds gathering over the gulf and lightning strikes were just enough to make you wonder “what am I doing out here?”

A close look at the Louisiana shoreline through binoculars revealed no rain but that was just a matter of time. All of us in the boat were in agreement that we stay put until the weather began to clear.

While we waited to see if we were going to get to fish or have to run for shelter I noticed the streams of finger mullet and shad rolling out of this particular little drain in the marsh.

While we continued to watch the weather I caught a live well full of just perfect sized mullet, nice shad, and croaker that were just right. e outlook was getting better all the time.

After a short wait and with one eye on the weather we took off south down the lake in search of some bird activity that may lead us to a school of hungry fish.

Our tour down the lake produced nothing so we rigged up a couple of rods with popping corks and live finger mullet instead of shad and began to drift. Our drift had just begun when suddenly a vicious strike took us totally by surprise, a missed opportunity but it at least let us know we were in the right spot.

Before too long the corks were going under on a regular basis and we were catching some nice speckled trout. e plague of little fish that were crushing the shad didn’t seem to be bothering us and that was good.

After making a couple of drifts at our original stop and catching some very respectable trout the weather really got nice while the lake flattened out like you dream about. Just enough ripple on the water to stir the surface but not enough to hide a jumping shrimp or a feeding trout.

Our trip south was halted as we came across a small group of gulls sitting on the water, every now

and again the gulls would get up and hover as the surface of the water opened in a wild commotion.

Finding the gulls over feeding fish was a blessing and curse, the non stop action was a blessing while the small size of the fish we were catching was the curse.

It was incredible the amount of 10 to 12 inch trout that were in this school, plenty of action but only a couple of keeper fish. e school of fish finally played out and we were off to find another bunch, hopefully a better bunch.

It didn’t take long for us to find another bunch of fish; it seemed like everywhere you looked there were trout popping the surface and a gull or two somewhere giving hot pursuit. Finally we stumbled upon that one good school of fish where the keepers out numbered the dinks by a wide margin, our search efforts had finally paid off. e better trout seemed to want the finger mullet instead of shad, the bonus of using the mullet instead of the shad was fewer gafftop we had to deal with. As the trout continued to feed we were fortunate enough to spot another school of fish, this bunch was redfish and they were crushing bait on the surface.

Unfortunately for us the reds didn’t stay up long and we only managed to boat one. By now the heat had taken a toll on all of us, the tide had stopped moving and we decided to call it day. e lesson learned on this day was that through trial and error we were able to make sense of what the fish wanted and were able to find a pattern that worked.

Don’t just accept that you can only do one thing to catch fish; the trial and error method will work wonders if you give it a chance. I have used this technique a bunch, especially with clients in the boat.

It makes life easy when you are catching fish to start experimenting with different lures and presentations in search of better fish. It’s amazing to see one small difference in either a retrieve or color make a huge difference in the quality of fish that you are catching.

Even when the action is good there is still a possibility that it could get better. e great thing is that if the experiment doesn’t work you can go back to the original technique and catch fish, that’s a chance any of us should be willing to take.

TPWD has also set aside the weekend of Oct. 31-Nov. 1 as special youth-only seasons for white-tailed deer, Rio Grande turkey statewide, and for waterfowl in the North Duck Zone, to encourage adults to share the hunting experience with the next generation of hunters. e statewide special youth-only hunting weekend for white-tailed deer and Rio Grande turkey is open to licensed youth 16 years of age or younger.

Hunting for ducks, mergansers and coots during the youth-only waterfowl season is open to youngsters 15 years of age or younger and no state or federal waterfowl endorsements (stamps) are required. Popular wildlife management areas for waterfowl hunting along the coast will be open for the special youth-only season.

A Special Youth Hunting License ($7) is required for all hunting activities and may be purchased at any one of TPWD’s 28 field offices, more than 50 state parks and at over 1,700 retailers across the state. Licenses may also be purchased online

In addition to the special youth-only weekend seasons, select state parks and wildlife management areas are conducting mentored hunting workshops designed to introduce and educate beginning hunters and their mentors to the hunting experience. ese workshops are followed by a hunt on the area. Mentored Hunting Permits (MHP) required for these workshops are offered on a first-come, first-served basis and are only valid for a specific public hunting unit and the corresponding workshop dates. A person may participate in a designated hunt under an MHP only after completing the mandatory mentored hunting workshop, has been authorized by the department to participate in hunting activities and is accompanied by a designated mentor.

UT’s mascot should be an albatross, Aggies’ a shamrock KAZ’S KORNER Joe Kazmar For the Record For the second week in a row the Texas Longhorns failed to get to a sure-fire overtime period because of a pair of fundamental mistakes in their kicking game, which resulted in a pair of heartbreaking losses in games where the ‘Horns played as well or m a y b e even better than the victorious opponent.

A n d while the Longhorns were frittering away potential victories, the Texas Aggies were making their own breaks and coming up with crucial victories to keep their 2015 record spotless.

Both of the Lone Star State’s favorite college teams entered the season with quarterback questions. e Longhorns were uncertain whether to go with last year’s starter, Tyrone Swoopes, or to trust their fortunes on redshirt freshman Jerrod Heard.

At College Station the quarterback situation was much different but the dilemma was the same—whether to bank their money on sophomore Kyle Allen, who showed enough promise last year to nail down the job or to trust the genetics and name freshman Kyler Mur-

KAZ’S FEARLESS FORECAST

County kids will fare well on football field Friday Joe Kazmar For the Record Games is Week WEST ORANGE-STARK over NEWTON—It’s been many, many moons since the Newton Eagles were listed at the bottom of their district standings, but that’s where they are at 1-3 after getting beat a second year in a row by Orangefield. e Mustangs also saw their perfect record go down the tubes to a very talented Richmond Foster team. Both teams are mad and need to win Friday night at Dan Hooks Stadium. e Mustangs were upset by the Eagles last year and want to avenge that loss.

LITTLE CYPRESS-MAURICEVILLE over SPLENDORA—is will be anything but a cakewalk for the Battlin’ Bears who need this win to start October on the right foot and try to raise their record for the season toward the .500 mark.

ORANGEFIELD over HOUSTON WORTHING— is will be the final week for the Bobcats to give their game a lastminute tune-up before swinging into District 9-4AII competition next week. e ‘Cats are on a roll after upsetting Newton for the second straight year and want to keep it going for another week.

VIDOR over BAYTOWN LEE—After just barely losing that 36-30 shootout with the Nederland Bulldogs, the Pirates are hoping to post their first District 22-5A victory of the season and even their league mark at 1-1.

LAMAR over SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA (urs.)—is is the second ranked team in a row the Cardinals will face. And if their first meeting in which they upset Sam Houston State two weeks ago is any indication of things to come, then the Big Red should take down the once-defeated Lions even if it’s on their home turf in Hammond.

McNEESE STATE over NICHOLLS STATE—Although the Cowboys have had problems in the past playing the Colonels in ibodaux, they are the only Southland Conference team still undefeated. row in the fact Nicholls is winless and the situation between these two teams shouldn’t change after Saturday’s game.

Place-kicker Nick Rose, who playing both candidates in their of Heard, against California, but surrendered a 24-14 lead as the had booted an 80-yard field goal first four games.

Of course, with Texas A&M defense struggled for the third earlier in practice, shanked the boasting a 4-0 record and the week in a row that turned into a extra-point try and instead of Longhorns a 1-3 mark, it’s pretty 45-24 deficit by late in the third taking the game into overtime, California was presented with a obvious which quarterback com- period.

Texas’ defense couldn’t hold one-point victory and remained bination is working out the best.

However, it’s not the play of Cal on third downs and gave up undefeated for the season.

And while the Longhorns the quarterback that has led to two touchdowns on fourthtwo heart-breaking losses by the down situations. However the were having kicking problems,

the Aggies were doing some kicking their own in their game against Nevada and posted a 4427 win.

Saturday’s action was more nerve-racking for the Aggie faithful with their team behind 21-13 to Arkansas with 1:21 remaining when Tra Carson burst into the end zone from two yards out. e Aggies had to go for the two-point conversion and Allen floated a perfect pass to Josh Reynolds in the right corner of the end zone to tie the score at 21-21. e Razorbacks fumbled on their next possession but A&M senior kicker Taylor Bertolet barely missed a 38-yard field goal which sent the game into overtime. e Aggies scored a touchdown on their possession when Allen found freshman sensation Christian Kirk in the end zone, giving the Aggies a 28-21 lead. e Aggies’ defense stopped Arkansas on fourth down, which gave them their fourth-straight victory.

But the Longhorns didn’t have the Aggies’ good fortune Saturday, although they were leading Oklahoma State 27-24 with less than two minutes remaining when Cowboys kicker Ben Grogan kicked a 41-yard field goal to tie the score at 24-24 with 1:33 left in regulation.

Texas couldn’t move the ball as the clock was winding down and decided to punt the ball away and take their chances going into

overtime. But Michael Dickson bobbled the snap and barely got off the kick.

Oklahoma State ran the ball into position for Grogan, who kicked a 40-yard, game-winning field goal, giving the Cowboys a 27-24 victory before a stunned crowd of 87,073 at Royal Memorial Stadium.

UT fell to 1-3 for the first time since 1956. e Longhorns travel to take on undefeated TCU Saturday while the Aggies host Southeastern Conference West foes Mississippi State and Alabama at home before having a true road game on Oct 24 at Ole Miss.

KWICKIES…e Houston Astros continue to hang on to a possible wild card berth in next week’s major league baseball playoffs by taking two-of-three from the AL West-leading Texas Rangers last weekend. Going into Monday’s action, the Astros held a slim one-half game lead over the third place LA Angels, with six games to play. Perhaps their only saving grace is the fact the Minnesota Twins had two fewer victories and one more loss than Houston, going into Monday’s action.

Four of last year’s Top 10 quarterbacks are currently out with various injuries. e latest to go down was Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger who left Sunday’s game at St. Louis with a sprained MCL and a bone bruise on his left knee. He was No. 7 last season and will be out around six

Mustangs both ways, just like the Mustangs do. “ere are a lot of outside distractions this week with this being Dairy Queen’s game of the week in Texas and with it being our Pink Out game,” ompson said. “ey are going to play fast, hard and tough and we will have to match that.”

Newton’s main man is Gabe Foster, who plays corner and running back. Foster, along with Jaron Hanks, has combined for almost 1000 yards on the ground. Quarterback Brock Barbay has passed for 277 yards. e game will be played at home at 7:30 and will be the annual Pink Out game. Tickets will be on sale in the athletic office ursday, 9-12 and 1-3 and Friday, 9-12. Adult tickets are $5 and students are $2. All tickets at the gate are $5.

Continued from Page 3B e freshmen and JV teams played Hamshire-Fannett last ursday and both won. e ninth grade beat the Longhorns, 50-6. Teshaun Teel started the scoring with a 7-yard touchdown run. Kavyn Cooper scored twice on a 21and 32 yard run and Jordan Johnson scored on a 7-yard run and a two point conversion.

Kervondrink Scott scored 2-two point conversions on Brettlin Wiley passes. Scott also scored on a 37 yard pass from Wiley.

Wiley scored on a 3 yard run and a 41 yard punt return for a touchdown. Offensive Standouts for the ninth grade team are Wiley, Cooper, Scott, Johnson, Da’Marcus Bourgeois, Jonatan Ramirez and Eric Robertson. Defensive standout players are Teel, Damioun Apadocca, Terron Brown and Devin McClain.

JV team beat Hamshire-Fan-

Korner weeks. Dallas’ Tony Romo will be out at least eight weeks with his broken collarbone and was the No. 4 quarterback last year.

New Orleans’ Drew Brees has a bad shoulder and tied for No. 5 while Chicago Bears’ Jay Cutler is suffering from a sore hamstring and was No. 10 last season.

Hopefully Kam Chancellor won’t take all the credit for the Seattle Seahawks brilliant 26-0 victory Sunday by returning from his self-inflicted holdout. e Seahawks defense played very well, but the Chicago Bears played very poorly. In fact, if the Bears had received 10 points every time they crossed midfield, they still would have lost the game Sunday.

Damion Morris scored from 11 yards out and returned an interception 73 yards for six points. Lunden Toussiant scored on a 4 yard run and Watson scored the two point conversion. Offensive Standouts for JV are Watson, Morris, Toussiant, Adrik Mims and Bobby Rash. Defensive Standouts are Cory Skinner, Tyshon Watkins, Davien Teate, Damion Morris and Ja’Corry Brady.

Realtor Dawn Jones is donating a lifetime fishing license to the winner of a drawing at the end of the event. Every single youngster that simply weighs in a fish will be eligible for the drawing.

It will be interesting to see if the recent proposal to reduce the minimum legal length on black bass caught on the river and local bayous is well received by the folks that can do anything about it. Granted, it is all about harvesting fish, but we fought this same issue years ago and I am still all for that change. e state already makes exceptions for Guadalupe and Kentucky bass so that negative argument doesn’t hold much water and Louisiana fishermen have been keeping those same size fish on the same body of water for years. If the “powers that be” contend that this strain of largemouth bass will eventually make the “Share a Lunker”

program, they better not make plans to witness it in their lifetime.

We were catching these same stocky bass with a Peck’s popper and a fly rod in 1959 and a five pound bass will still get you an “attaboy” today. I had to laugh when a couple of the pros in last year’s elite tournament stated, “Man, y’all have tons of small bass in this river. Can you imagine how good it is going to be when they grow up?”

I hate to rain on their parade, but I’ve been waiting 50 years and I think they are as grown up as they are going to get! e 4th annual Chenier Charity tournament benefiting the families of service members and Wounded Warriors is set for Saturday Oct. 3rd out of Crain’s Camp in Johnson Bayou. e entry fee is $50 per participant. $50 will sponsor a Wounded Warrior to fish the event.

It was the fifth win this year for the 22-year old Texan, including two majors, as he went back to being the No. 1 golfer in the world. He also won the Vardon Trophy for the lowest adjusted scoring average. e West Orange-Stark Mustangs finally ran into a team with a better defense than their own Chain Gang Defense as Richmond Foster beat them in just about every phase of the game Saturday at Stallworth Stadium in Baytown. e game wasn’t as one-sided as the final score (4214), but it should give the Mus-

JUST BETWEEN US…e two Texas NFL franchises apparently went in different directions Sunday as the Houston Texans took advantage of Alfred Blue’s 139-yard performance on 31 carries plus a good defensive effort to subdue Tampa Bay 19-9 for their first win of the season. And the Dallas Cowboys, with quarterback Tony Romo out with a broken collarbone, blew a 28-14 second period lead and lost to Atlanta 39-28 as the Falcons shredded the Cowboy defense in the second half and played some stellar defense of their own, sending the Pokes to their first loss of the season.

NOTICE OF RATE CHANGE REQUEST On September 11, 2015, Entergy Texas, Inc. (ETI) filed an application for approval of a Transmission Cost Recovery Factor (TCRF) with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (Commission). The TCRF is requested in accordance with the Public Utility Regulatory Act Section 36.209 and Commission Rule 25.239. A TCRF allows a utility to recover its reasonable and necessary costs that have occurred since the end of the test year in the utility's last base rate case for transmission infrastructure improvement and changes in wholesale transmission charges to the electric utility under a tariff approved by a federal regulatory authority. ETI is seeking recovery of costs for transmission capital investments it incurred from April 1, 2013 through June 30, 2015. ETI also seeks to recover approved transmission charges that are not otherwise being recovered through rates.

ETI’s proposed Rider TCRF is designed to result in an increase in revenues of $13,058,941 on an annual basis, which amounts to a 1.62% increase in ETI's annualized non-fuel revenue as approved in its most recently completed base rate case (Docket No. 41791), and a 0.95% increase in ETI’s overall annualized revenue including fuel costs as approved in Docket No. 41791.

The impact of the rate change on various customer classes will vary from the overall impact described in this notice.

ETI has requested that the Commission make this change effective 35 days after its application was filed. The proposed effective date is subject to suspension and extension by actions that may be taken by the Commission.

All customers in ETI's Texas retail rate classes are affected by this request.

ETI also requests that the Commission or assigned administrative law judge issue an order establishing a temporary TCRF rate of zero for each affected rate class effective 120 days after the filing of this Application. The rate ultimately established in the Commission’s final order in this proceeding would then be made effective back to the date that the temporary rate was established and would then be subject to true-up to the extent the TCRF established pursuant to the final order in this docket differs from that temporary TCRF rate.

Persons with questions or who want more information on this filing may contact ETI at Entergy Texas, Inc., Attn: Customer Service—2015 TCRF Case, 350 Pine Street, Beaumont, Texas 77701, or call 1-800-368-3749 (once you hear: “Welcome to Entergy” select 1, then 5, then 6, then 2, then 2) during normal business hours. A complete copy of this application is available for inspection at the address listed above.

The Commission has assigned Docket No. 45084 to this proceeding. Persons who wish to intervene in or comment upon this proceeding should notify the Public Utility Commission of Texas as soon as possible, as an intervention deadline will be imposed. A request to intervene or for further information should be mailed to the Public Utility Commission of Texas, P.O. Box 13326, Austin, Texas 78711-3326. Further information may also be obtained by calling the Public Utility Commission at (512) 936-7120 or (888) 782-8477. Hearing- and speech-impaired individuals with text telephones (TTY) may contact the Commission at (512) 936-7136. The deadline for intervention in this proceeding is 45 days after the date the application was filed with the Commission. All communications should refer to Docket No. 45084.
