OC Farmers’ Market waiting on fall gardens If you’re looking for watermelon, you’ll find them at the Orange County Farmers’ Market, as well as lots of yard plants and house plants, homemade baked goods and homemade granola. Jams, jellies, and pickles will be back in September.

Garden produce is a little scarce right now, but there will be a large variety of fresh produce to choose from as soon as the fall gardens are ready.

Some gardens will be ready earlier than others, so stop by the farmers’ market often to see what’s available.

The Farmers’ Market is open 3-6 p.m. Wednesdays and 7-10 a.m. Saturdays. It is located in Pinehurst in the parking lot in front of Big Lots (off MacArthur Drive).

For more information contact the market coordinator, Jean Fregia at 409670-6121 The Orange County Farmers’ Market is sponsored by Texas AgriLIFE.

Monte Morphew will serve as master of ceremonies along with the rosters, Larry Webb, Dr. Mike Shahan, Stephen Lee, Trey Smith, John Gothia and Gary Stelly.

Bridge City Mayor Kirk Roccaforte said they chose Smith to roast this year because he is so involved in the various organizations and his many contributions to the community.

“He’s a good example of a good person to represent the city,” Roccaforte said. “I think we will have a good time.”

Smith is a Little CypressMauriceville High School graduate before attending Lamar University and The University of Texas in Houston.

He has owned Akrotex, Inc. since starting it in 1990. Smith is also a current board member for: Orange Savings Bank, the Lutcher Theater, the Lamar Orange Foundation, the Southeast Texas Foundation and the Salvation Army.

Over the years, Smith has received many awards. His awards include the 2000 Community Builder Award from the Madison Lodge 126 AF and AM and the Masonic

Grand Lodge of Texas, as well as the 2004 Small Business Person of the Year from the GOACC. He is a former board member of the GOACC, Boys and Girls Club and the Boy Scouts of America -Three Rivers Council.

“My wife and I and our company help [the Boy Scouts of America] each year. We help the Lions Club with their carnival,” he said in a previous interview. “A lot of our employees do a lot of work for these charities.”

Smith also makes monetary contributions to Orange Christian Services, the Salvation Army, the Red Cross and Southeast Texas Hospice. He also donates money to support area schools with project graduation or simply assisting an employee in need.

His wife, Eva, is also a board member of the Red Cross and the United Way in Orange.

Together, he and his wife are dedicated to the community.

“We do as much as we can.

We love Orange,” Smith said.

“Orange County is home to my wife and I both. We are native to this area. We’ve been blessed with a nice business and we try to give back and try to share those blessings.”

When Smith and his wife lost their home and all of their belongings due to Hurricane Ike, they immediately went to the Salvation Army to make a large donation.

“My wife and I had four and half feet of water in our home,” he said during a previous interview. “Our home was totally destroyed. We lost everything. There’s was nothing we could do about our situations, but there was something we could do to help others.”

Kelley reports EOC now operational Penny Leleux

The individual that will be handling that portion of the building will be housed at the building in the AgriLIFE extension office.

Thibodeaux told the Expo Center committee to work more on the job description and bring it back to court next week. The court said they would like to have someone in place to start Oct. 1, with the new fiscal year.

Jeff Kelley, director of Orange County Emergency Management gave commissioners an update on their move into the Orange County Convention and Expo Center on Farm Road 1442. The building will also act as a shelter of last resort for first responders in emergency situations.

“The EOC (Emergency Operations Center) is largely operational, if needed. We’ve got some bugs to work out, but we are way better off already than we were in the AT&T building.

We’re getting there. It looks pretty good.”

Back on Monday’s agenda was an item on possible action to create a department to manage the rental side of the Orange County Convention and Expo Center.

“We need to make a decision on this,” said County Judge

The command center of Orange County Emergency Management is operational and ready for what September brings. Monitors on the wall will offer valuable information from many sources at the same time.

Work areas are separated by half walls to keep strategic areas together but able to communicate with each other easily.

Carl Thibodeaux.

One event was held last week under special approval that went very well said Thibodeaux. There are around 40 other requests for rental of the building at this time.

“We either assign that particular position to an Orange County employee or Orange

County office or we hire somebody that is skilled in that particular form of operation and management paid for by the hotel/motel tax to do the job of taking the rentals, taking the reservations, collecting rental fees and checking the building out after usage. Also, promoting the building

around the area for utilization.

“What we’re looking at is that person being paid for out of the hotel/motel tax,” said Thibodeaux. He said it was an approved expenditure for the tax. Wages for that person would not come out of Orange County general funds.

Record archive fees go from $5 to $10

Commissioners authorized the County Clerk Karen Jo Vance and District Clerk Vickie Edgerly to raise their current records archive fee from $5 to $10 per document as provided by HB1513. It was posted as effective Oct.1, 2013, but Vance said no one really knows when it is going to be enacted. “Everybody is arguing about stuff.”

Your first week of college, Remains of soldier returned home to area after 63 years A+ advice from a senior Debby Schamber For The Record

Caroline Brewton, an award-winning student columnist and photographer, has written for numerous publications including the Baylor Lariat, the Dallas Morning News and comedy website BoomPop Media. She is a senior at Baylor University.

Caroline Brewton

Columnist For The Record Your first week at college can be tough; it’s a whole new world. Many “firsts” will be crammed into a few short days at the beginning of your college career. It can be overwhelming, and unless you’re a naturally cool customer, you may feel a little lost. To help you out, I’ve put together a list of things I wish someone would have told me before I jumped, clueless, into my new life as a college freshman.

• Don’t be ashamed of your parents on move-in day.

Moving into your first place, dorm or apartment, is an important rite of passage for both you and your parents. I know your first taste of independence is exciting, but you’ll have plenty of time to play it cool after your parents leave. Hug them. Let your mom fuss over the arrangement of your meagre possessions. This is one of the things you’ll remember later. And don’t be afraid of the emotional goodbye — even if it’s a little embarrassing to cry in front of your new roommate — because roommates come and go, but parents are forever.

• Expect to feel a little self-conscious.

Everything is new to you. You’re in a new school, with new people, and maybe you’re

away from home for the first time. It’s okay.

Everyone else feels the same way. You would be weird not to feel a little out of place.

• Buy your books on Amazon.

Trust me — college bookstores are a racket. Even buying or renting used textbooks from college bookstores, which are often billed as affordable options, can get pretty expensive. Check your book list for the title, author, edition and volume to look for books online before you buy them in the store. I’ve shaved hundreds of dollars off my book expenses that way.

• Make an impression on your professors Introduce yourself on the first day, or, if you don’t have time to stick around after class, send your professors a quick ‘hello’ email and meet them during office hours.

Introducing yourself is the first step in making a good impression. They can’t like you if they don’t know who you are, and chances are, they’ve seen hundred of students.

It’s tempting to skip this step, especially in large lecture classes, but don’t doubt its importance. You might need some grace on an assignment later in case of a bad breakup or a family emergency. You are much more likely to get it if the professor knows who you are.

• Be open to making new friends Don’t automatically discount a new acquaintance because he or she is not the type of person you hung out with in high school.

Your social life in college will be far less stratified than it was in back then, and while cliques do exist, most people find a variety of friends from all walks of life.

Don’t limit yourself to your fraternity/sorority or study group. Having friends with different interests from different backgrounds can help introduce you to new things and experiences, which is a different, but crucial part of your education at college.

Like many young men of his generation, 17-year-old Clement Thibodeaux Jr. joined the military to fight in the Korean War and was killed in action.

However, it would be more than 60 years later before his family would have the chance to give his remains a proper burial.

Clement Thibodeaux Jr. was the youngest child in his large family and it was his father who allowed his to enlist at the age of 17.

He was wounded in action in the summer of 1950 and upon returning to Korea, it was like he knew his fate when he wrote family members saying he believed he would die in combat once he was returned to the frontline.

Over the years, the family has scattered from their Church Point, Louisiana home with several of the siblings calling Southeast Texas their home. His sister, Irona Mazzola, 88, calls Orange home. Her son, Gilbert Mazzola,of Orange, was only about a year old when his uncle went off to war.

Throughout his life, Gilbert Mazzola has been told the story of when “Uncle Jr.” was leaving to go off to war, his nephews climbed into the suitcase declaring they wanted to go with him.

On June 25, 1950, the Korean War began when about 75,000 soldiers from the North Korean People’s Army poured across the 38th parallel, the boundary between the Sovietbacked Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to the north

and the pro-Western Republic of Korea to the south. This invasion was the first military action of the Cold War. By July, American troops had entered the war on South Korea’s

behalf. After some early backand-forth across the 38th parallel, the fighting stalled and casualties mounted with nothSOLDIER Page 3A

Thibodeaux, who fought on the front lines was reported missing in action on Nov. 28, 1950. U.S. forces engaged Chinese forces in North Korea, north of the Ch’ongch’on River, suffering heavy casualties in the fighting and subsequent withdrawal which resulted in his capture.

Later, one of his friends told the Thibodeaux family Junior had been captured along with other members of the 25th Infantry Division. He died of starvation and pneumonia in the Chinese prisoner of war camp, known as “Death Valley” in January 1951 just days after he turned 18 years old.

gave up searching for their beloved baby brother. Wilson Thibodeaux, Junior’s older brother, was in his 90s when he died in 2008 and searched endlessly during his lifetime for what had become of Junior.

He wrote letter after letter to government officials in hopes of getting relief to some long unanswered questions.

Before his death, Wilson Thibodeaux left mitrochondrial DNA for future examinations because of the rumors of excavations being done.

But, he would die before the bones could be confirmed as belonging to Junior.

His son, W.J., would carry on with his mission and inform the family when something new occurred.

In 2005, as part of an agreement, a delegation from the United States and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea went into North Korea to search for more remains. Finally, a large number of bones were found when a ditch was excavated.

NO GOOD OPTION ON SYRIA The United States finds itself at the crossroads in Syria. The Obama Administration seems all but certain to retaliate over the use of chemical weapons. The gut wrenching images of the dead, including the young, have rocketed around the globe.

Calibrating the right response without drawing the U.S. into Syria’s civil war requires precision, both militarily and politically. The American people are weary of war. Iraq and Afghanistan are hard learned, expensive lessons. However, ignoring the use of chemical weapons killing hundreds, including sleeping women and children, would invite worse. It would hurt U.S. creditability and years of international effort to prevent use of chemicals would be undercut. The Obama Administration has been cautious, wary of war, weighing options, gathering alliances and not just rushing into a war that could see us bogged down for ten years. When the attack comes it must be forceful, quick and not an attempt to dictate the outcome of another civil war. I feel for the President like I would any president that has to commit his country, resources and young to yet another war. It’s a no win proposition. The American people are strongly opposed to military intervention of any type. Meanwhile, Sen. McCain, Sen. Graham and the hawks have long been urging the invasion. Regardless of his choice, the talking heads will blame President Obama. A missile attack appears the more likely and smartest option. Syrian President Bashar Assad must be stopped from using Hitlerstyle execution of the citizens of Syria or else Iran and others will run over their people and the world be damned. Retaliation can’t be avoided with unknown consequences. Regardless of the route taken, we must be prepared to stand with our President and our military.*****I’ve got to move on. It would do me proud if you came along. I promise it won’t do you no harm.

OUR CONDOLENCES We were saddened to learn of the death of Mildred “Millie” Lemoine, 83, who passed away Sunday morning at 1:30 a.m.

Service will be held Wednesday, 10 a.m. at St. Henry Catholic Church. Millie was born in Louisiana but was raised in Orange, in the Cove. At age 17 she was one of the early telephone operators in Orange. She and Louis had been married 55 years and had five children, Jody, Jada, Jana, Jude, June and many offspring. Mildred was the big sister of Judge Janice Menard and one of her strongest supporters. Everyone who knew Millie had to love her. She was quite a character who never met a stranger. She loved her God, church and family and she made everyone she met feel like she loved them too. Our condolences to the family and friends. It was my pleasure to have known this wonderful person. May she rest in peace. Please see obituary.

REPLY TO EDITIOR’S NOTE IN RECORD Over the years we often hear from youngsters when we mention wondering what has happened to them. This week we are running a letter from Sam Adams so all of his friends and school mates will know what he’s been up to.

Dear Editor, I called my grandmother yesterday to let her know I am in town visiting for a few days, and she promptly read me an excerpt from the Creaux’s Nest Turning Back the Hands of Time section from 2007 about me graduating from Texas A&M and about to go off to Rwanda for three months. (My mom still has on her refrigerator the article about me that ran in that week’s paper six years ago.)

I thought since you made a note wondering “what became” of me, I thought I’d give you the short version: I planned on spending three months in Rwanda, but it turned into a whole year, and was absolutely one of the most formative experiences of my life. Between then and now, I have lived in Beaumont, Rapid City, SD, and Toronto, Ontario. I have worked for the government employment office, on an organic vegetable farm, and on an Indian Reservation, among other things. And I am now in my third year of graduate school in Toronto, studying at a seminary to be an Episcopal priest (something my grandmother is very proud of). Once I graduate this May there is no telling where I may go next, but wherever it is, I am hopeful that I will be able to settle down for a few years and put down some roots (which my dad will be pleased to see).

I am eager to be settled, but I am very thankful for the experiences I’ve had over the past six years. It has been in living in places like Rwanda and Toronto--places in many ways vastly different than Southeast Texas--that I have developed a much deeper appreciation for my upbringing in Bridge City (in my experience, one is never a more avid Texan or Aggie than when sojourning in a foreign land). I am glad to have left and experienced all that I have, but I am always glad to come back. Being away has only deepened my pride in being from this little corner of Texas. I am deeply grateful for this whole community that had a hand in raising me, from Little League coaches, to teachers, to youth ministers and pastors, to my and all my friends’ parents. I don’t think I realized until leaving that it actually was a village that raised this child.

Being the best friend of Neighbor Cox’s grandson (Kevin Duplechin), I’ve always felt a small connection to the Creaux’s Nest. I appreciate the work you do in preserving the familiarity and collegiality of this place. If you get a chance, please pass on my deepest thanks to this community that helped raise me.

Sincerely, Sam Adams

She’s Earline Gipson’s mom. Both are longtime Bridge City folks who now make their home in Georgetown, where Billie still gives orders. Ninety-five is not a record but it’s a darn good average.

Happiest of days. ***Our friend Mike Cedars is a year older also on this day. ***Aug. 30 also would have been Vivian and Fain Holbrooks wedding anniversary. Fain left us a few years ago but we would like to hear from Ms. Vivian. ***On Aug. 31 a good guy, the most vocal in the crowd, former Bridge City resident Dan Barker celebrates 81 years. It seems like just last month he had a birthday party. ***Also on this day Mary Behnke, Buddy Cox, Chris Coleman and Jay Odom celebrate. ***Aug. 31 is a big day for a pair of twins; it’s their 44th wedding anniversary.

Best wishes for many more happy years.

Tom Barrientos and Quincy Procell reminded us that LC-M’s Joe Bob Isbell was the first to play for the Cowboys in 1962. He then spent three years with Cleveland. Also I was reminded that the first televised night game was the 1965 Thanksgiving Day game in the Cotton Bowl.

A VISIT WITH THE SENATOR We had a nice visit with State Senator Robert Nichols who stopped by Tuesday morning. He’s the only good thing we got out of redistricting. I wish his district was our congressional district, tied to East Texas rather than the Houston area. We have an absentee congressman, a Tea Partier, who at his swearing in ceremony called for the impeachment of the president.

He’s in no position to help anyone. We probably will see him some as the elections approach.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Tee-Neg Dartez went fishing on Bayou Tech him, wit senior citizen Clovees Arceneaux.

While sitting dere Tee-Neg axe, “Mister Arceneaux, how old you are hanh?”

Clovees say, “I don’t rightly know me, it changes every year. I was born during da depression me, so I know I’m getting old.”

Tee-Neg say, “Mister Arceneaux, don’t worry bout old age you, because it don’t las dat long.”

C’EST TOUT The state of New York charges Donald Trump with fraud and seeks $40 million from Trump University, which is not a licensed university. The attorney general calls it a scam. Trump is squealing like a stuck hog. It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy who can dish it but makes wild accusations when caught with his hand in the cookie jar.*****Today, Wednesday, Aug. 28, marks the exact date 50 years ago that Dr. Martin Luther King made his famous, historical “I have a Dream” speech.

When you view that day as a citizen that remembers the times and the high hill that was climbed, it is really ironic, almost unbelievable, that 50 years later the President of the United States is a Black man speaking about the event that led to his election, unlikely before “I have a Dream.” Now we face a future where voter ID laws threaten to disenfranchise and suppress the vote for the interest of one party. The fact is they see what is coming down the pike. They can’t stop it. They can only hope to slow it down. The country is getting more diversified, the day of the old White man ruling the land is coming to an end. At best, suppression, if it works, will last only a term or two. It very well could backfire and stir the masses. We are all like children, tell us we can’t do something and we often revolt.*****The Wednesday Lunch Bunch will dine at Robert’s Restaurant this Wednesday and back to Novrozsky’s next week.

Lady Lions Club seeks members

The Beaumont Professional Lions Club will charter Sept. 26 as the first all female chapter in the Golden Triangle and one of only four in the state. Left to right standing are Dessie Richard, Secretary: Carliss Jones, 1st Vice President; Linda Miller, Treasurer and seated Tammy McDaniel, President. There are still positions available to those who would like to join. Their next meeting is at noon, Thursday at the Holiday Inn Plaza in Beaumont. RECORD PHOTO: Stump Weatherford

Penny LeLeux For The Record Ladies, would you like to make history? Next month the Golden Triangle’s first allfemale Lions Club will charter on Sept. 26 and they are still looking for members. It will only be the fourth female club in Texas said Tammy McDaniel, president.

She is very excited about the new opportunity and said she had no idea the Lions had so many programs until she joined.

“Lions do so much, but they are not attention seeking. People don’t even know all the good they do. They are true humanitarians that I didn’t even know about till I joined.

They don’t want recognition for it; they just do it and con-

tinue to do so. It’s really amazing,” said McDaniel.

Most people have heard of the Lions Eye Bank and are familiar with their collection of used eyeglasses for redistribution. “We have those recycling centers at all of the Walgreen’s.

They are one of our big partners. People put in their used glasses. We take them and refurbish them. We have eye screens for the needy that can’t afford glasses. We work with the doctors. They come and do eye exams.” The glasses are then distributed.

The Lions’ focus on work for the blind and visually impaired began when Helen Keller addressed the International Convention in 1925. She charged Lions to be “Knights of the Blind.” It is the work they are most known for, but it is just a drop in the bucket of all their projects.

Did you know they are also involved in hearing and cancer-screening projects?

The Lions Medical Research Foundation provides funding for several researchers, including Ian Frazer. Frazer’s work led to the development of the vaccine for the human papillomavirus. HPV can lead to cervical cancer.

Other programs include diabetes prevention and treatment; a partnership with Habitat for Humanity; and Special Olympics.

Lions Clubs International was also involved in drafting the charter of the United Nations in 1945.

Lions Eye Bank of Texas in Houston is known for corneal transplants and research. It was the first eye bank. Other programs specific to Texas is the Lions Camp located in Kerrville. Founded in 1949, the camp hosts children age 7-16 with physical disabilities for one or two weeks in the summer. The camp is staffed

by volunteer counselors and there is no charge to any child or family to attend. They also host a diabetic camp for children.

“All these kids get to come together and find out they are not alone. They get to have all sorts of activities such as canoeing and horseback riding; and it’s totally free to the children,” said McDaniel.

“On the Lions Web site there is a place the families can sign up for it. We actually have kids from our area that go, so it’s a great thing.”

The Texas Lions Foundation was established to respond to emergencies in Texas such as tornados, hurricanes, floods and other disasters. If a club in Texas is affected by an event, then TLF disburses funds to help that area recover. After Hurricane Ike hit the Golden Triangle in 2008, TLF immediately responded with a grant to help with recovery.

McDaniel said the group will also have its own projects.

“All the members will be bringing in organizations they would like to give to. It’s a lot for charities in our area.” One she hopes to include is the women’s and children’s shelter. “We haven’t voted yet.

We’ll probably vote after we charter. All our fundraising efforts through the year will be divvied up through the different charities.”

McDaniel said there is also a big diabetes walk in November that all the Lions Clubs will be involved in.

Women weren’t always allowed to be members of Lions Club International. The group, which was founded in 1917 in Oak Brook, Ill. by Melvin Jones, amended its constitution in 1986 to allow female members. Some all-male clubs still exist.

DPS urges Texans to stay prepared during hurricane season With the 2013 Hurricane Season underway, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is reminding residents to make sure they review their emergency plans and stay prepared for the potential threat of hurricanes or tropical storms.

Historically, August and September are the more active months of a hurricane season, which began June 1 and continues through Nov. 30.

“Although we have seen a relatively quiet hurricane season so far, we are currently facing the more active months of a typical season,” said DPS Director Steven McCraw. “We are urging Texans who have not yet made preparations to protect their

families and property from the impact of a tropical storm or hurricane, to do so now.”

All Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coastal areas are subject to hurricanes and tropical storms. Hurricanes can cause catastrophic damage to coastlines and areas several hundred miles inland, and winds can exceed 155 miles per hour.

In addition, hurricanes and tropical storms can also spawn tornadoes, create storm surges along the coast and cause extensive damage from flooding.

Here are several measures residents can take now to prepare for potential storms: • Assemble an emergency kit that includes essential docu-

ments, supplies and provisions.

• Review hurricane evacuation maps, and select a route for you and your family.

• Plan how all family members and pets will evacuate safely.

• Consider any special needs for individuals with disabilities or the elderly.

• Stay informed about changing weather conditions in and around your area.

Re-enactment to mark Battle of Sabine Pass sesquicentennial Staff Report For The Record Living history re-enactors will turn out to observe the sesquicentennial of Battle of Sabine Pass. Dick Dowling Day. Michael McGreevy is expecting “excellent troop strength” for Dick Dowling Days weekend, Sept. 7-8.

Friends of Sabine Pass Battleground will present the event, re-creating aspects of the Civil War Battle on both days.

The weekend of living history camps honors Dick Dowling and his ragtag band of men who bested the Union on Sept.

8, 1863.

McGreevy says attendees feel the ground shake and they smell the smoke of battle.

Bring the family for this year’s event, which includes performances and a dance. A photography contest will focus on hardships of war. Contact dickdowlingphoto@live. com or call 409-549-2601 for more information for details.

In 1863 a Union Navy flotilla of four gunboats and 5,000 men attempted to enter the Sabine Pass, the Texas Historical Commission reports: “Dowling’s artillery drills paid off as the Confederates scored several direct hits on the federal ships, disabling two of them, and blocking the others’ passage. The Union forces retreated and the Davis Guard claimed the capture of 350 prisoners and a large quantity of supplies; they did not suffer a single casualty in the encounter. The unlikely victory of Dowling and the Davis Guard thwarted the Union invasion of Texas.”

Battle grounds are in Sabine Pass, between Port Arthur and Sea Rim State Park. Dick Dowling Day highlights include:

Saturday, Sept. 7 9 a.m.- Gates open 10 a.m. – Court Martial & Execution 11 a.m. – 150th Anniversary Memorial Ceremony: Texas State Rep. James White will speak and present his resolution to the Texas House of Representatives honoring the anniversary 2 p.m. - Battle: Union Attack & Occupation of Sabine City 3 p.m. – Jed Marum in Concert 7 p.m. - Dance: 3rd Texas String Band Sunday, Sept. 8 9 a.m. Gates open, church service 10 a.m. – Court Martial & Execution 11 a.m. – Jed Marum in Concert 2 p.m. - Battle: Union Attack on the Garrison at Sabine City

A brief history of the Battle of Sabine Pass On Sept. 8, 1863, at Sabine Pass, Texas, Lt. Richard W. Dowling and the Davis Guard defeated the forces of General Nathaniel P. Banks and Admiral G. Farragut under the command of General William G. Franklin in a Confederate victory described by President Jefferson Davis as being “without parallel in ancient or modern warfare.”

General Banks, commander of the Department of the Gulf, placed 15,000 men for this campaign under the immediate command of General Franklin who sailed August 29, 1863, from New Orleans with 5,000 soldiers on 18 transports of various types.

The westward bound convoy was escorted by four heavily armed gunboats; the Cliffon, Sachem, Arizona and Granite City. Franklin was to sail up the Sabine Pass, land in the vi-

Lady Lions McDaniel said she found out about the Lions Club when the hotel she works for hosted their regional convention. “It’s one of the biggest in Texas,” she said.

“We also have the two oldest in Texas which were founded way back in the 30s, 40s.” The oldest club is in their district.

McDaniel is the executive meeting manager at the Holiday Inn Beaumont Plaza and was very involved in setting up the Lions convention.

“We develop relationships with our clients, so when they decided to form a women’s club in our area, they came here to us and invited us to join. It just went from there.

cinity of Sabine City, advance to Beaumont seizing the railroad, and take Houston and Galveston from the North.

The additional 10,000 men left in reserve would be brought from New Orleans to overcome all resistance in Texas.

The poorly defined Union rendezvous at the mouth of Sabine Pass was discovered and the act of surprise was lost. By September 6, the Confederate defenders knew a large Union force was approaching and although the Davis Guard had permission to withdraw, they decided to defend the earthen fort. Because Captain Odlum was acting as area commander in Sabine City, actual command at Fort Griffin fell to his young lieutenant, Richard W. (Dick) Dowling.

The defending Confederates watched the Union gunboats advance up the Pass during the night of September 7. Next morning the Union guns shelled Fort Griffin, but Dowling withheld his fire until midafternoon when the attacking Sachem was only 1200 yards away. With one of their first rounds, the Davis Guard disabled the Sachem and then shifted fire to the Clifton. In

At our charter night, all the clubs will be present,” she said.

All will participate in the charter ceremony too.

“One club will donate our gavel. Another club will donate the felt that our patches will go on. So it’s very much a community. It’s not a single club. They donate funds to help get you started.”

Membership in Lions Club is by invitation and this article is serving as an invitation to area females to join the Beaumont Professional Women Lions Club. Costs involved with membership are low.

The membership fee is $35 and dues are $25 per quarter.

The group meets at noon every other Thursday at the Holiday Inn Beaumont Plaza on

Walden Road.

Their next meeting will be Thursday, Sept. 5.

“You can still join and be a part of history by signing the charter at our charter banquet scheduled for the evening of Sept. 26,” said McDaniel. “It’s going to be a really exciting thing when a 100 years from now, when I’m gone, my name is still going to be on that charter. I will actually be a piece of Beaumont’s history, which is really, really neat.”

They currently have 20 plus members. “I don’t think you can ever have enough,” she said.

For more information you can contact Tammy McDaniel at 409-223-2865 or 409-8427806.

“Everybody reads The Record.”

45 minutes the two vessels surrendered and the remaining Union gunboats and transports fled in panic to the Gulf and to New Orleans. The Davis Guard suffered no casualties; the invading forces lost about 50 killed and 350 prisoners.

The incredible success of the Davis Guard gave heart to the Confederate forces. Dick Dowling and his men received commendation from their commanding generals, the Confederate Congress and President Davis. Texas remained an active state in the Confederacy.

CCA banquet packs house COLBURN-FISHING CAPT. DICKIE COLBURN FOR THE RECORD

The veritable sea of trucks packed into the new Orange County Convention and Expo Center last Thursday night further confirmed the fact that promoting our local fishing pays big dividends. Scott Bandy, Louis Moore and a handful of members in the Orange County CCA Chapter put together a fund raising banquet the size of which few would have thought possible in Orange County only two years ago.

They not only doubled the size of the banquet in a single year, but attracted guests and other CCA members from as far away as Katy and Natchitoches, La. Everything about the annual event was first class and local business owners were very much on board with their support. World class bay fishing attracts visitors and visitors spend money on everything from hotel rooms to the toothbrush they forgot to pack.

The county has recently taken great strides in promoting both the area and the fishery and in doing so has finally tapped into a resource that was taken for granted much too long. I have always wondered how San Antonio could generate millions of dollars off a narrow gully winding through the middle of the city while Orange, perched on the banks of the Sabine River, could not capitalize on such a fabulous location. .The Interstate lies less than five minutes from downtown, the entire eastern side of the city lies on the banks of the Sabine River and one of the top saltwater fisheries on the Texas coast is a five minute boat ride to the south!

2013 season gets real on Friday Gabrial Pruett For The Record

Forget the scrimmages. Forget the wait. Forget all about 2012 because football season in 2013 is finally here.

Teams have sweated a lot over the last several weeks in

practices in the August Southeast Texas heat. It’s time to also line up against an opponent and not simply go against your teammates.

This is the time of year every sports fan loves to see on the calendar. Every team has the same record and the same hopes.

Bridge City’s hopes of making it five-for-five will start against one of the area and state’s best teams. Newton’s Eagles come to Larry B. Ward Stadium as one of the top ranked teams in Class 2A. This game will not matter to the Cardinals’ chances of reaching the playoffs for a fifth

straight year yet coaches always want to know exactly where his team stands.

So Coach Cris Stump by around 10 p.m. Friday will have a better understanding of how his Cardinals will fare in 2013.

We have over the last several weeks talked of the returning

Bridge City players who are in new spots like receiver Hunter Uzzle and quarterback Chase Shugart. One of the biggest keys against Newton will be the play of both the offensive and defensive lines guided by Jackson Roberts and Jordan Schamber.

Newton defeated Bridge City 35-12 last year and Stump called the Eagles one of the fastest teams he has ever seen.

The Cardinals know they can-

not keep pace with the Eagles so Bridge City must find ways to slow down one of Texas’s best teams.

Orangefield is not worried about reaching the playoffs five years straight in 2013.

Right now Coach Josh Smalley and his Bobcats are only concerned with making it for the first time since 2003.

Last year’s cross-town rivalry was a great defensive battle with the Mustangs’ renowned Chain Gang Defense winning out by not allowing the Bears into the end zone. Friday night’s encounter promises to be just as exciting with the Battlin’ Bears having the home- field advantage. However, they will need much more offense to pull off the upset.

NEWTON over BRIDGE CITY This game should be a tremendous test for both teams that are picked to be playoff bound this season. In fact, the No. 1-ranked Eagles have been tabbed by many preseason prognosticators to be the Class 2A state champion. This could be one of the sternest tests the Redbirds face this fall and an opening-game victory will really set the stage for a great Bridge City season.

ORANGEFIELD over EAST CHAMBERS The Buccaneers are another Class 2A team that is expected to have a big season, so the Bobcats had better not think this will be just a walk in the park. In fact, if Orangefield comes out of this game victorious, it should be categorized as an upset.

VIDOR over SANTA FE The Pirates looked in mid-season form during their scrimmages against Orangefield and West Orange-Stark and should be ready to rumble when the bell rings Friday night at Santa Fe. DEWEYVILLE over SABINE PASS The Pirates had a very successful season last year finishing 8-3 and are returning seven offensive starters and six on defense, so they should be ready to launch another winning season on Saturday.

ORANGE COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN over PROVISION ACADEMY The Lions made it all the way to the state semifinals last season and will need to get some youngsters ready to play varsity football in a hurry Saturday night at Alvin because they lost two-thirds of their starters from last season’s 10-3 team.

LAMAR over OKLAHOMA PNAHANDLE STATE— The Cardinals are hoping to throw the football a lot more this year than last season and open up their offense more in this initial contest Saturday night at Provost-Umphrey Stadium in Beaumont.

against East Chambers.

The Bobcats are hungry to reach the postseason and start building a winning tradition. The Bucs defeated the Bobcats 3628 and scored the game’s first 20 points.

Orangefield’s offense will run off the legs of Carl Wiley.

Smalley and Orangefield will try to score points early in the game and not let East Chambers pull away so quick this year.

Watch for turnovers because two of the first three East Chambers’ scores last year came after Orangefield fumbles.

One game in this Week Zero which has two sets of Orange County fans interested is the West Orange-Stark Mustangs facing the Little Cypress-Mauriceville Bears.

WO-S is off a season in which a record-high number of players signed with D1 colleges. It is no wonder people around are curious to see if this is a year the Mustangs fall even just the slightest bit.

It should be noted WO-S has dealt with the loss of great players for decades and Coach Cornel Thompson will have his horses ready to run.

The Mustangs lead the series 23-3. Last year’s 18-0 Mustangs’s win made it 14 wins in a row versus LC-M. LC-M is also looking to replace a player who is now at a strong NCAA college as Alex Sezer is at Texas A&M. The Bears are wanting to end a playoff drought that dates back to 1997. To do so LC-M must cut back on turnovers and the amount of time it’s defense is on the field.

Area fans sometimes make the mistake of thinking this series has a ton of lopsided WO-S wins. There have only been three true blowouts since 2001.

Vidor has the longest trip to go on Friday with a drive to Santa Fe. The Pirates hope is to bring in a quarterback and linebacker to replace Montana Quirante.

Vidor won 41-0 last year even though the game started with a Vidor interception. It was one of only a handful of Santa Fe highlights.

Fully replacing Quirante simply cannot be done and the Pirates need to realize he will not suit up this year.

The Pirates can win with this season’s players and a win versus Santa Fe sure would help the confidence.

Community Christian will play Saturday in Alvin at 5:30 against ProVision Academy.

Next week’s games will include WO-S at PN-G, Silsbee at LCM, Jasper at Orangefield and Bridge City at Vidor. Houston Emery Weiner will be at Community Christian at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7.

New player-safety rules greet 2013 college football season KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

When the 2013 college football season begins tomorrow (Thurs.), there are a few new rules in effect that are going to really upset head coaches on whose team these infractions are called.

Two of these new rules have to do with targeting—initiating contact with the crown of the helmet and targeting and initiating contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent with the helmet, forearm, elbow or shoulder.

According to an article in a recent edition of USA Today Sports Weekly, the foul itself has not changed. These plays have been subject to penalty since 2008, but the penalty has been stiffened to include automatic ejection plus the 15-yard penalty.

The ejection can be overturned by replay review. However, even if the ejection is overturned, the 15-yard penalty still will be marked off.

Another new targeting rule that carries ejection is for a player to launch (leaving his feet to attack an opponent by an upward and forward thrust of the body to make contact in the head or neck area).

Also a crouch (followed by an upward and forward thrust to attack with contact at the neck or head area); leading with helmet, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with contact at the head or neck area or lowering the head before attacking by initiating contact with the crown of the helmet.

Should a player be ejected in the second half or overtime, he also is suspended for the first half of the NEXT game.

“We want to protect the game and to help reduce critical injuries with this message: Play the game hard, but stay away from serious fouls,” commented Rogers Redding, the national coordinator of College football Officiating said in a National Football Foundation news release.

“By making changes, we are signaling that the safety of the student-athlete stands at

the very top of our list of priorities,” Redding continued.

“The clear intent is to change player behavior.”

Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops and many of his peers are a bit skeptical of the enforcement of these targeting fouls. “Hopefully they’re getting it right, because that’s a big penalty to have a guy tossed out of a game,” Stoops elaborated.

The confusing blocking below the waist rule has been modified so that any offensive back stationary inside the tackle box (7 yards either side of the snapper and 5 yards into the defensive secondary) and offensive lineman inside the zone may legally block below the waist until the ball has left the zone. Everyone else on the offensive team may legally block below the waist only if the block is clearly in front of the opponent.

Another new rule has to do with the expansion of the 10-second runoff. If a player is injured within the last minute of a half and this is the only reason for stopping the clock, the opponent may choose to have 10 seconds subtracted from the game clock. The injured player’s team can preserve the 10 seconds by using a timeout.

The rule requiring a player to leave the game for one down if his helmet comes off has been modified to allow a player to remain in the game if his team is granted a charged timeout to adjust the helmet.

As before, if a player’s helmet comes off as the result of a foul (like a face-mask penalty) the player does not have to leave the game.

Modification of the spiking rule by the quarterback is that teams now will need a minimum of three seconds from the referee’s signal to spike the ball to allow for another play at the end of a half. If the clock shows less than three seconds, a team will have enough time only to run a play without first spiking the ball.

This season, if a team wants to use a player at different positions during the game and

Orange is no longer a secret amongst the statewide fishing community not only due to the incredible fishery, but the positive promotions and friendly atmosphere as well. My hat is off to the Orange County CCA Chapter for their magnificent effort and well deserved results!

Albert Bates and his partner, Mike Veitch, absolutely blew away the rest of the field last Saturday in the final Triangle TailChaser Club event of the year. It was not only their third win of the year, but salted away the Team of the Year title as well. In winning the championship they weighed in slams in five of the tournaments. A slam consists of two redfish, two trout and two flounder which is no small feat in itself.

Their winning total of 24.70 pounds was five pounds heavier than the second place stringer weighed in by the team of Freddie Frederick and J-Rod Broussard. Frederick and Broussard also finished in second place in the Team of the Year chase and weighed in three slams of their own over the course of the year as well.

Bates said that catching their two redfish was not a problem as they went through a lot of reds, but the trout and flounder required a little more work.“We just squeezed out a couple of legal flounder,” said

the player needs to change jersey numbers, the player must report to the referee, who will in turn announce the change.

In addition, two players who play the same position at different times in the game may not wear the same number during the game.

The final rule change makes the most sense-- the color of the jersey number itself must be clearly and obviously in contrast with the jersey, regardless of any border around the number.

This Korner believes that some of these rules changes were made just to pacify those who have been complaining for years about the sport of football becoming too violent.

Perhaps these changes may reduce some of the more blatant fouls that occur, but it certainly won’t keep the complainers quiet until the game becomes more like touch football.

KWICKIES…The Buffalo Bills signed free-agent quarterback Matt Leinart Sunday to fill an immediate need at Buffalo’s injury-depleted quarterback position. Kevin Kolb left Saturday’s game against Washington because of concussion-like symptoms and first-round pick E.J. Manuel is out for the rest of the pre-season with a knee injury. Leinart was the 2004 Heisman Trophy winner at Southern Cal and was drafted in the first round

by Arizona in 2006, where he played for four seasons. He spent 2011 with the Houston Texans and last season with the Oakland Raiders.

The Little League world championship team from Tokyo displayed unbelievable patience in Sunday’s game for all the marbles against Chula Vista, Calif. by making 6-4 inch fireballer Grant Holman throw strikes. Holman had to leave the mound after throwing the maximum 85 pitches and the team from Japan attacked the reliever and turned a 4-4 game into a 6-4 with a two-run double in the bottom of the fifth inning. Thank goodness there were no pitch counts or double-eliminations back in 1954 when I played on the world championship team at Williamsport.

Adam Scott had to wait for what probably seemed like an eternity to win the PGA Tour Barclays last weekend at Liberty National in Jersey City, N.J. Scott fired a final round 66 and then had to wait a couple of hours for the third-round leaders to finish their respective rounds. Gary Woodland had a chance to tie Scott with a birdie on the final hole but missed, and Tiger Woods had to birdie the final three holes and made birdies on the first two holes but putted an inch short on the 72nd hole to share second place with Woodland, Graham DeLaet and Justin Rose. This tourney was the first of four events for the prestigious FedEx Cup playoffs.

It looks like former Texas Longhorn star quarterback Vince Young has won the job as Aaron Rodgers’ backup at Green Bay after the Packers released Graham Harrell, who was the incumbent No. 2 quarterback.

Don’t expect to see many of your favorite players on the field tomorrow (Thurs.) night when Houston Texans meet the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. This game should be feisty, though, because many of the players on the field will be scrambling to make the 53-man roster which will be announced this weekend. Both the Texans and the Cowboys looked much improved on offense, while the defense must be evaluated with the idea that neither of the coordinators want to show too much of what they’ll be using once the season starts.

JUST BETWEEN US… Former Little Cypress-Mauriceville Class 4A state champion discus thrower Hayden Reed won his specialty Friday night at the 2013 Pan American Junior Championships in Medellin, Colombia with a winning throw of 205 feet, 0 inches. He made his win-

ning effort on his final throw of the competition. Reed, who red-shirted at Alabama during the 2013 indoor and outdoor seasons, earned a spot on the U.S. National Team in June by winning the USATF Junior National Championships. “He did a great job,” said Crimson Tide coach Doug Reynolds.

“He battled back from adversity, was third going into the finals and he moved up on every

throw with the winning throw coming on his final throw.

That kind of mental focus and composure under pressure is an invaluable foundation for future success as his career develops.” The Pan American Junior Athletics Championships showcases many top international junior athletes and are open to athletes age 16-19 as of Dec. 31, 2013.

Bates, “and we caught a decent number of trout, but there was a little luck involved with the two big fish we weighed in.

One ate a topwater in the open lake and we caught the other one under a slick on the way back to the weigh-in!”

The club membership has continued to grow and they are already making plans for next year. Ancelet’s Marina located under the Rainbow Bridge has proven to be both a gracious and convenient weigh-in site while Del Papa, Gulf Coast Redfish Series, Daley’s and Simon Outfitters were sponsors of every event.

The catching has not been particularly easy lately, but the full moon usually makes things a little more difficult.

The fish we caught were solid, but the numbers just weren’t there for us most of the week.

Gary Purdy and his brother in law wade fished the flat on the tip of Pleasure Island two nights in a row and had one very good night and one bust.

Gary said the conditions were exactly the same the second

night, but they only caught five trout and three reds in seven hours of fishing.

The night before, they limited on trout and released several in the five pound class including a 28-inch fish that only weighed a shade over seven pounds. Gary said they were literally walking through schools of mullet all night long and there was never a time when the fish weren’t blowing up on them.

He showed me a black-chartreuse She Dog the following morning that had very little paint left on it. He added that his brother in law had done just as well with an old Producer Ghost that he had painted black.We also caught a few fish on black right at daylight, but had to switch to tails and Swim Baits to catch our fish after that.

WOS Mustangs want district, state title Gabriel Pruett For The Record

If there is one team in the area that starts every year with legit state championship dreams it is the West OrangeStark Mustangs.

WO-S has built a storied history that has two state titles and two more trips to the championship game. There has only been one year the Mustangs have not won the District 21-3A title.

Last year saw the Mustangs go 13-1 and reach the regional finals. Nine opponents did not score a single point.

What happens when a majority of Texas teams has to replace 15 starters? The consistent answer is the team struggles while it rebuilds.

Other coaches and fans might not agree yet Coach Cornel Thompson said he has his worries this year.

“We are in a rebuilding phase,” Thompson said. “We only have two back on defense and two on offense who saw quality time from last year. We have had to do a bunch of teaching this year. We certainly have not been in this situation in quite some time.”

First the Mustangs had to replace three-year starting quarterback Jimmy Salter.

Chase Rutledge is expected to take the field Friday at Little Cypress-Mauriceville. Dylan Sterling will then be used as a wide receiver. Thompson made sure to note the competition is far from over.

“Both those guys will go under center,” Thompson said.

“Competition is what life is all about. Chase knows he has a talented guy breathing down

his neck.”

WO-S got a help from two transfers this year. The offense will gain running back Chris James who is not too shabby at defensive back on defense. His defensive skills is where colleagues are looking to sign James.

Johnny Shaw transferred from Center. He is a University of Texas commit who had 88 tackles with five interceptions.

“We got real lucky with those two there,” Thompson said. “I don’t mean to offend anyone but they came here

real green. They were not used to the Mustang Way even though they were well coached.

It has been an adjustment.”

If all this was not enough to scare opponents there is also a guy named Deionte Thompson in the Mustangs’ secondary. He has verbally committed to Alabama and had six interceptions in 2012.

Unlike many years in recent past, WO-S has a good bit of size on both lines. Three players in center Jacob Hyborchuk and tackles Josh Orebo and Paul Hebert all weigh in the

250 range. Noseguard Octavious Crosson is no little guy at about 220 pounds.

WO-S will still keep coaches awake the night before games.

Even if it is a rebuilding year, the year always starts with high expectations.

WO-S starts its year with four tough games against LCM, PN-G, Beaumont Central and Jasper. The Central game will be a homecoming as former WO-S assistant coach Toby Foreman returns as the head coach of the Jaguars.

“First thing we must do is try to have no injuries those first four,” Thompson said.

“Nobody has a tougher nondistrict schedule than ours.

We always have the utmost respect for every team on our schedule, especially this year.

We will have trouble preparing for all of them. There is no question Silsbee is the favorite with so many players back.

Then look at the strides being made with everyone else.

Coach Josh Smalley has Orangefield moving up and Buna is scary. Hamshire-Fannett is nothing to look past and Hardin-Jefferson’s new coach will turn that team around. We will show up on Fridays and what happens after the coin flip.”

First responders from Boston Marathon bombings are guest speakers at LIT Salute to Real American Heroes Staff Reports For The Record

First responders from the Boston Marathon bombings in April will be the guest speakers at the Lamar Institute of Technology Foundation’s Salute to Real American Heroes at 6 p.m. on Sept. 5.

Capt. Raymond Dupuis from the Watertown Police Department in Watertown, Mass., and Joseph O’Hare, deputy supervisor of the dispatch operations for Boston Emergency Medical Services, will speak at the annual fund-raiser.

The event is held at the Wesley United Methodist Church Family Life Center, 3810 North Major Drive.

The Watertown Police Department was very involved with the pursuit and eventual capture of the bombing suspects, from the shootout in the early morning hours of April 19 to the capture of the younger Tsarnaev brother that same evening.

Samuel Owens, an Orangefield High School alum, graduated on Aug. 9 from Texas State University in San Marcos with a Bachelors degree of Fine Arts and Communications.

Capt. Dupuis was one of the first officers on the scene when the Watertown Police Department captured bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

He has been a police officer for 30 years, having been promoted to captain in 2000.

In the past 13 years as second in command at the Watertown Police Department, he has been in charge of the Bureau of Field Operations, the Patrol Division, Traffic Division and the Public Safety Dispatchers.

Joseph O’Hare was in charge of coordinating the City of Boston’s ambulance service to the site of the bombing. From the unified command area, he and his co-workers had already initiated the disaster communications plan.

O’Hare has been a registered EMT for more than 35 years.

He worked in the private sector as an EMT and a paramedic for 13 years, and began working for the City of Boston 1991.

He was promoted to deputy

superintendent in 2006, and assumed command of dispatch operations in 2008.

O’Hare’s department processes 110,000 calls for service each year.

They also provide radio communications between ambulances and hospitals in the region.

The Boston area Ambulance Mutual Aid network, an implementation of O’Hare’s department, provides direct communications between Boston EMS and regional partners. All of this proved valuable during the Boston Marathon bombing.

Also accompanying Capt.

Dupuis and O’Hare from Boston will be Richard Raymond, CEO of Armstrong Ambulance.

His ambulance service covers the Boston Marathon every year, and was on the scene when the bombings occurred.

From 8 a.m. to noon on Sept.

5, Capt. Dupuis and O’Hare will put on a continuing education program for area first responders at the LIT Multi-

Purpose Center.

First responders who wish to register for the course should call the LIT Regional Police Academy at (409) 880-8022.

The Salute to Real American Heroes celebrates area first responders and active military.

The event raises scholarship monies for the LIT Foundation. The scholarships are awarded to outstanding students in the Regional Police Academy, the Regional Fire Academy, homeland security, emergency medical technology and criminal justice programs.

Dinner will be provided by the Cooks 2 Doz. + Inc., and is sponsored by the Sabine Area Restaurant Association.

Tickets are $50 each, and admission is free to active uniformed personnel and their spouses.

Reservations are required.

You may reserve a table or buy tickets by visiting the LIT Web site at www.lit.edu, or calling (409) 839-2956.
