GOACC celebrates 125th Anniversary David Ball

For The Record

It makes one wonder how many chambers of commerce can not only boast of a 125 year history, but can also boast of seven businesses with continuous membership for the entire time span.

Sheriff unopposed first time in 52 years

The Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce celebrated the milestone Tuesday night celebrating 125 years of service to the community at The Brown Center in Pinehurst.

The evening’s ceremony began with Lee Ann Fuselier, chairwoman of Access Servic-

es, giving a welcome to the audience before Jarren Garrett, chariman-elect of Baptist Orange Hospital, gave the invocation.

Next, Betty Harmon of Harmon-Oliver Enterprise, LLC, gave an introduction of 125 GOACC PAGE 2A

County Judge Carl Thibodeux said when he ran for re-election in 2010, he was the first sitting judge that didn’t face an opponent in either the primary or the general election in 50 years.

Now incumbent sheriff, Keith Merritt, can say the same MERRITT thing.

Sheriff C.A. Hollts was the last sitting sheriff to run unopposed in 1960, according to records from the Orange County Election Office. Merritt said an “oldtimer” timer told him the same thing but he didn’t verify it yet.

“I’m flattered and pleased (on running unopposed),” Merritt said.

Thibodeaux said Merritt is doing a great job in the sheriff’s department.

Merritt added he didn’t know why the Orange County Republican Party wasn’t running an opponent against him.

“I have friends in both parties and there hasn’t been anyone. I guess their pleased with our performance,” he said. “As sheriff, I do things based on the law and not politics.”

Merritt was Precinct 1 Constable for several years before he beat incumbent Mike White for sheriff in 2008.

“The citizens must think we’re doing a good job though we want to be better. My employees play a big part. We’re working together as a team,” Merritt said.

KOCB asking to ‘Put pine back in Pinehurst’ Staff Report

For The Record

Keep Orange County Beautiful (KOCB) is asking residents to mark their calendars for 5 p.m. on Thursday, March 22 for a project called, “Putting Pines Back in Pinehurst at the Salvation Army Building, 1950 MLK Drive in Orange,” according to J. David Derosier, chairman of Keep Orange County Beautiful.

KOCB’s mission stated their mission is to address the twin topics of “Trees and Trash”.

Sandra Cash, a board member of KOCB and also programming chair for the local chapter of AAUW (American Association of University Women), has put together another project to bring back some of the trees that were lost to storms in the last few

years.

The organization will be planting young pine trees on the property of the Salvation Army at the corner of MLK and Strickland Drive.

“A full grown pine will sequester more carbon dioxide than a full grown live oak.

And that’s saying something when you’re on the corner of a very busy intersection, Cash said.”

This KOCB project is cosponsored by the local chapter A male Great White Heron plumes his feathers to attract a mate at the Shangri La Botanical Gardens and of AAUW. Nature Center in Orange. The spring ritual is taking place now at Shangri La. Adjacent to the Botanical A forest ranger will be on Gardens is a bird blind which allows visitors to observe nesting birds in Shangri La’s heronry.

For The Record

Jean Parker has seen many changes in her 23 year tenure with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office working under three different sheriffs and in the process transferring from being their secretary to the purchasing department.

That phase of her life will end on March 30 when she retires from the department and begins a new chapter in her life.

“I was hired by Huel Fontenot in 1989 as his secretary.

Deluge floods streets in Orange County

Widespread rainfall throughout Southeast Texas on Tuesday left many streets in Orange County flooded. At press time, the area was expected to receive two to four inches of rain, but some areas had as much as five inches.. Robin Avenue, just north of Interstate 10, was just one of many streets in Orange that had four to six inches of standing water.

League members undertook projects for better roads, a deep water canal, and an opera house and began a campaign to attract investors to Orange.

Between 1918 and 1922, the Orange Chamber was organized from a consolidation of its predecessors. Over the years, the chamber has worked successfully to stimulate business in the country.

The industrial development committee of the chamber was formed in 1947 to bring chemical plants into the area.

Today the Orange Area Chamber of Commerce is recognized as an important element in the town’s commercial heritage.

BC councilwoman beautifies city hall with flowers Mike Louviere For The Record

Bridge City has come back strong after the devastation of Hurricane Ike. Businesses that were flooded have been repaired and reopened.

Houses that were flooded have been repaired and remodeled and are once again homes. The City government is up and running with a new interior in the City Hall. There was only one thing left to replace at City Hall, the flower beds.

Councilwoman Lucy Fields took charge of the project and got things moving. Fields first decided that she would plant Pink and White Hawthorn plants. The Hawthorns are hardy and would do well in the existent beds.

Fields got the materials assembled and then lined up some help. Her crew for cleaning the beds, making them ready for planting and helping her plant the Hawthorns would be a group that has been seen doing work for the city since the devastation of Ike. Fields crew would be six offenders from the Stiles Unit of the Texas Department of Corrections. The six men and two corrections officers arrived and were soon on the job following Field’s plans for the beds.

They prepared the beds, put down the ground cloth and started digging to plant the plants. When the job was completed the Hawthorn plants were placed evenly spaced and far enough back from the front edge so as to be able to grow and not impede anyone using the

sidewalk.

“We put white rock against the building so as not to have any mulch contacting the wall. It also makes a nice background. I did a couple of other things the Master Gardeners told me to do. I think it made for a nice job, Crews from the Stiles Unit have been working in the city since Ike. They have done a great amount of work in the city and enabled a lot of work to be done faster than we had hoped it would have been done. These guys today have been really helpful and good to work with. They have been a courteous bunch. The next thing we will do will be to erect the new sign for the front of City Hall. We have the sign and will get some of our helpers from Stiles back to work on that job also. After we get the posts in the ground, we have a brick mason lined up to build the brick surround for the sign. When that is done we will get our Stiles guys back to build the bed around the new sign. We have enough material left from these beds to install the new bed around the sign,” said Fields.

New flower beds are not all that has been done to improve things in the city. The asphalt parking areas around the City Library, Community Center and the Senior Citizens Center have been completely repaved and are in use.

All that remains is to stripe the parking areas.

Crews are also beginning to rework the parking areas at the baseball fields in preparation for the paving of those lots as well.

Jean Parker leaving keeper at W. M. Border before she was laid off.

She was lifelong friends with Mary Fontenot, Huel’s wife, who got her foot in the door.

“The salary wasn’t very big but I liked the retirement statement,” she said.

She said another factor in determining to retire now was when she suffered a heart attack on October 9, 2011 and she had to be resuscitated.

From Page 1

Though she won’t be coming to work everyday, she still will come back occasionally to help out with federal drug fund accounts.

“It’s been exciting. Orange County is probably one of the best places to work or live,” Parker said. “I love it here. I love the people and I like working with numbers. Everyday is something new.”

From the Creaux’s Nest TIME CHANGES EVERYTHING Well, we have sprung into spring. We predicted last summer that it was going to be a mild winter but it was milder around the country than we expected. Many ski slopes didn’t get any snow; even Boston and Minnesota hit 80 degrees.

Time keeps flying by, it seems Christmas was just a few weeks ago and already it’s coming on Easter. Ms. Pearl has published a poem this week titled “Time.” At age 91, she has seen a lot of time come and go. Read it, you’ll enjoy it. There was an awful tragedy at the Jefferson County Court House this past week where a lovely lady, 79 year old Minnie Sebolt, of Deweyville, was shot multiple times and killed. She was an innocent bystander doing a friend a favor. Condolences to her family and friends. May this good lady rest in peace. *****I have to move on. Please come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm.

POLITICS IN THE LAND OF LINCOLN, REAGAN AND OBAMA Mitt Romney has yet to close the deal with Republican voters. However, sitting here six hours before the polls close in Illinois, I believe he will carry the state over Rick Santorum.

More importantly, he will get the majority of the delegates.

In the end, by hook and crook, Romney will make deals that give him about 300 state delegates plus Utah is the last state to vote so he’ll reach the 1,144 delegates needed. For all practical purposes it’s down to a two-way race. Newt is broke and Ron Paul’s star is falling. Romney can outspend Rick five to one so he’ll end up buying the nomination but will be a very weak candidate. All the time and money spent in Illinois won’t matter come November. President Obama will carry the state by at least 60 percent. If Romney is forced into having to endorse the Paul Ryan budget, out this week, the odds go up that he can’t get elected carrying that baggage. Ryan’s budget includes tax cuts for the wealthy, major changes in Medicare, a safety net for the elderly and vouchers for Social Security, just to mention a few changes that won’t sell in swing states. If Romney moves that far to the right to get the GOP nomination it will be hard to move back to the center by November. Santorum should carry Louisiana Saturday, however, lately he’s been stumbling and coming off as being radical. My guess is that April 24 is when Romney should turn out the lights and end the party. If he doesn’t, he’ll be so damaged that Obama will win in a landslide.

OBAMA HEALTH CARE LAW SAVES SENIORS BILLIONS The Department of Health and Human Services announced Monday that The Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obama Care, has saved four million seniors about $2.16 billion through discounts for their prescription medications in 2011 and $92.7 million in the first two months of 2012. Discounts close the “doughnut hole” before many beneficiaries were forced to stop taking their medications. Three of the drugs on the top 10 list of savings for seniors were for mental health conditions. All the medications on the list, except for cancer drugs, were for maintenance of chronic disease. Medications for which Medicare Part D saved the most for seniors in 2011 discounts are: blood sugar, cholesterol, asthma, bloodclotting, blood pressure, anti-dementia, psychiatric, anti-depressions, ulcer, etc. It was surprising to me that cancer came in tenth. The discount part is a very popular part of Obama Care. It targets those who most need it.

TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME 10 Years Ago-2002 Run off races in Orange County. Commissioner Sue Bearden led the primary and is now pitted against Owen Burton. C.J. Huckaby, who missed the runoff, encouraged his supporters to vote for Burton, who he sited is a strong conservative. (Editor’s note: Burton won the run off in a wellrun campaign. *****A run off will also be held between Pct. 2 JP candidate Helton Dawl Cooper and Roy Derry Dunn.

Ed Barton, with 671 votes, ran a strong third. (Editor’s note: Derry Dunn, won the runoff.)***** In the Pct. 4 race to replace commissioner Billy Harland, Percy Flanagan and Beamon Minton are in a runoff. (Editor’s note: Minton won but was defeated eight years later in the Democratic Primary by Flanagan, who lost to Judy Crump, a Republican Tea Party member. *****Others elected against opponents were County Judge Carl Thibodeaux over Pete Runnels. Winning the state representative race, to replace Ron Lewis, was Mike Hamilton who won over Paul Clayton. County Clerk Karen Jo Vance won over Evelyn Vaughn. In the race to replace J.P. Flo Edgerly, Janice Menard won over Jimmy Scales. *****Last week in Houston Andrea Yates was convicted of capital murder in the drowning death of her five children. Her statement after the verdict was read was, “I regret that this illness brought me to a place where I was capable of killing my own children. NOAH, he was my firstborn. He was so inquisitive; his favorite thing to do was hatching Monarch butterflies. JOHN, with his cute

grin, he loved to do crafts and was very enthusiastic. Precious PAUL, nurturing and loving, he sought to please us and be special to his brothers. Beautiful LUKE, trying to keep up with his brothers, he also was nurturing, especially to his baby sister. Beautiful MARY, such a loving baby, with the big, blue eyes. I thank God I was blessed with such a precious family.”

Andrea could have received death however the jury gave her life with 40 years minimum. (Editor’s note: Yeates was found not guilty by reason of insanity at a 2006 retrial. She has been confined in a mental hospital and is up for review in November. *****Judge Grover Halliburton missed the Wednesday Lunch Bunch dinner. He was in the hospital. Cal Broussard’s guest were his youngest son and young daughter. Pete Runnels brought his son Lance. *****Amber Dunn is in town for spring break at the University of Texas. The first thing she wanted was boiled crawfish and barbecued crabs. She ate her fill at Van Choate’s Cajun Cookery. (Editor’s note: Amber is now an MD and works at Cleveland University Hospital in Ohio. The times she gets to come home usually aren’t crawfish season.

She misses that good Cajun eating.)

I wouldn’t think Matt, a good hitter and one of the best infielders ever at Bridge City, is happy with his role.

*****We hear a lot lately about Super Pacs that were allowed by the Supreme Court. An individual is allowed to give as much money as his wallet can afford. I don’t see it as a good thing. It gives too much influence to one person. I predict it will lead to fraud. One quarter of all Super Pac dough is from five donors, Harold Simmons, the Swift Boat guy, is the largest donor. He has given $12 million to “American Cross Roads,” a Karl Rove Super Pac, and $14.2 million in all. Romney Pac received $2.2 million. Sheldon and Miriam Adelson gave Gingrich Super Pac $10 million.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK “Tee Ned” Breaux and Otis Comeaux were drinking dem some beers at Tee-Boy’s Bar and Grill. After knocking out a few, dey start arguing bout politics. Otis accuse Tee Ned of not knowing wat he’s talking bout him.

Tee Ned say, “Well, if you so smart you, tell me dis, a horse him, a cow and a deer dey all eat da same ting, grass right?”

Otis say, “Dats right, dey eat grass dem.”

Tee Ned say, “Well, okay, why does a deer pass some little pellets, da cow produces a flat patty and da horse him, he leaves some big clumps. Why is dat, hanh?”

Otis tink bout dat and he finally say, “I don’t got no idea me.”

Tee Ned say, “Den you da one dats not qualified to discuss nutten bout da economy and global warming when you don’t know crap.”

C’EST TOUT For football fans, the news heard around the country is that quarterback Peyton Manning, who was thrown off the Colts, has decided to ride a different horse, a Bronco, in Denver. If he rides out five years he will earn $95 million. Meanwhile, Tim Tebow, who brought excitement to Denver, will be given his walking papers. I don’t believe John Elway, Denver vice-president, ever like him anyway. He’s a natural athlete and will land on his feet. The Patriots are even talking about him becoming a running back. *****As for us here at home, we’ll dry out in time for the big Art in the Park festival Saturday. It’s a great time to purchase some good local art. The Greater Orange Area Chamber celebrated its 125th anniversary Tuesday evening at the Brown Center. Looking over the names of past chairmen, going back to 1932 is a study of the life I’ve traveled and the many fine folks I’ve known. So many are gone but they left their mark here at home. Dear hearts and gentle people of our hometown. Congrats to the Chamber for keeping the light burning and the fire of service still blazing. . *****My time is up.

Thanks for yours. Please read us cover to cover or check us out on the web at therecordlive.com. Take care and God bless.

Play Ball!

Kent Conwell

Lighter Side of Life For The Record

If you’ll look around, you’ll spy a surprising number of vehicles parked around local baseball diamonds that a couple weeks back were sitting dark and empty.

Now they’re filled with the crack of a bat, the cry of the crowd, the laughter of youngsters.

It’s baseball time. Maybe I should say, it’s little league time. Of course, the big stuff isn’t far behind, but all around the area, little gals and guys are flailing to hit the ball, and if they do, and if the coach catches them in time, they race for first base instead of third.

Both the grandsons are in their second year of play. Mikey was in the Dodgers last year and the Astros this year in the Groves T-Ball League.

Keegan played with the Port Neches Astros last year and with the Rookie League Rays this year.

I hope I’ve got the leagues right. They are several to accommodate the number of youngsters of whom there is a surprising number. At opening ceremonies in Port Neches, I counted at least twenty teams.

T-Ball is a fun game not only for the youngsters, but for the crowd. Those little squirts are like a flock of chickens after a grasshopper when a ball hits in the middle of them. By the time one little feller or gal comes up with it, the runner could have circled the bases.

The T-Ball coaches are to be thanked (some say

deified, but I do think that might be a tad strong) for their patience and time, both of which are taxed well beyond the average person’s tolerance. Herding cats comes as close to a fair analogy of T-Ball coaching as I can get.

The philosophy behind T-Ball is to not only help the kids enjoy the game, but also impart a basic knowledge of the rudiments of the sport, like there are three bases or the purpose of the man at bat is to hit the ball or you are supposed to catch the ball instead of searching for doodlebugs in the sand.

When I first started watching the coaches last year, I wondered how they kept from pulling out their hair. Then I saw they never grew angry. Instead they laughed at mistakes, explained the error, encouraged the little eager kid, and sent him back into the fray. They were serious about not taking things seriously. In other words, keep it fun.

T-Ball doesn’t keep score. Each team bats around once and then swaps places, and so on. Three swaps is the game. Truth is, if they did keep score, they games would end up about 30-30. Not exactly a pitchers’ duel, huh?

Mikey is much improved this year. Like the others, he hits off the T, but the little guy is tall and solid, and can really put a hurt on that ball when he makes contact with it. His father, Big Mike, is a big part of the boy’s success.

And Mikey is no slouch at stopping the ball for that is one of the skills coaches stress. You see, many of the youngsters prefer watching a bird fly over or standing on his head. Catching the ball runs a poor third for many of the little ones.

The next step from T-Ball is the Rookie League.

Keegan stepped up this year.

What a difference.

I don’t know how long his coaches have been working with little league, but they do a skillful job focusing on the basics of baseball.

Now, don’t misunderstand. I’m no expert. My experience is limited to sandlot ball in the cow pasture with dried patties for bases and a futile effort at third base when I was a sophomore in high school. The high school fling ended mercifully. I hate to say it, but I think everyone involved was relieved, especially the coach, when I decided I’d never be another Mickey Mantle. (for the younger readers, he was a star for the New York Yankees) When Keegan and I played catch, he’d throw the ball like a rocket–no, not the speed, but the trajectory. Up, up, and then down. I didn’t know how to teach him to throw it straight, but between his father, Jason, and the coaches, he’s much, much better. They showed him how to stand, how to extend his arms, and how to flex his wrist at the right time.

Each of the ten youngsters receives the same detailed coaching, from batting to base running to relaying the ball. And even a dummy like me could see the difference in the fellers after a couple practices.

In the Rookie League, there’s no T. A coach pitches up to five balls to each batter. And yes, the little ones can strike out. That’s another difference between the two leagues. The rookies are now learning there are also consequences.

Last year, Keegan had trouble hitting pitches.

Usually, he ended up hitting off the T, but this year, he’s hitting the pitched ball steadily.(I don’t want

to brag, so I won’t mention how many hits he got at the first game) I wish I could say it was from the times I’d pitch to him out at the side of the house, but I can’t. The coaches spent time working with the boys on batting, using a weird looking bat with a bunch of holes in it. An onlooker next to me called it a Wiffle Bat, but you can’t prove it by me.

Whatever kind of bat it was, it helped.

But it isn’t just the coaches that make it a success. There’s a heap of folks in the background who provide the support and details most of us never think about.

These Groves and Port Neches leagues and those who support them are perfect examples of how much good can be achieved when folks work together toward a common goal. I haven’t seen any hidden agendas among any of those involved in the local leagues. All the parents want to see their child do well. Many of them volunteer to provide after-game snacks as well as other incidentals needed by the team.

One thing I noticed last year as well as this is any displays of parental anger toward the coaches. Maybe that comes later in the upper leagues. I hope not.

The games are fun times for both the players and the onlookers. Heck, even if you didn’t have anyone in the game, it’s a fun-filled hour where you can forget your cares and root for a favorite team.

Just like when you were a kid. Remember? rconwell@gt.rr.com http://www.kentconwell.blogspot.com/ www.goodreads.com/author/show/13557.Kent_ Conwell www.amazon.com/-/e/B001JPCK26 www.kentconwell.blogspot.com

Mike Louviere For The Record In the early 1830s a Sabine River boatman named Green settled on a bluff on a bend of the river. History does not leave much about Green; there are two spellings of his first name, either Resin, or Reason, and not much else. It is recorded that the place he settled was named Green’s Bluff.

In 1840, patriotic citizens changed the name to Madison, named for President James Madison.

A post office was established in 1850. To avoid confusion with the earlier established town of Madisonville, the name of the town was changed to Orange in 1858. The inspiration for the name may have come from a grove of Orange trees owned by George Pattillo.

Orange had two main natural resources.

It was ideally located on the Sabine River. Riverboats could go upstream as far as Logansport and schooners could load cargoes and sail down the river, across Sabine Lake and into the Gulf of Mexico.

Another resource was the location of thousands of acres of virgin pine and cypress timber that could be milled into lumber. The combination of the Sabine River and the huge virgin forests would bring about the birth of the “Sawdust City on the Sabine.”

There is confusion about when the first sawmills were built in Orange, possibly as early as 1836.

There are reports of Robert Jackson buying a steam sash mill from two men named Payne and Bendy in 1840, but there is no record listed in Products of Industry published in 1853.

Jackson later built a mill that was powered by a steamboat engine. It probably came from the Rufus Pittman which sank south of Belgrade on Jan. 6, 1840.

There had been hand-hewn cypress shingles exported from Orange, through Sabine Pass, to Galveston, as early as 1839.

In 1855 Dr. William Hewson built the Empire Mills on the river south of Orange. He was able to cut 8,000 board feet of lumber per day.

The mill employed 10 men and was said to be the best mill in the state. On May 31, 1856, the mill was deliberately set afire by a moderator’s posse of Orange’s vigilantes.

The vigilantes were trying to flush out Sam Ashworth and Jack Bunch who were believed to be hiding in the mill. Ashworth and Bunch killed Sheriff’s Deputy Samuel Deputy. The loss of the mill was $15,000 and 100,000 board feet of lumber.

In 1857, W.C. Brazee and James Woods built a mill with one circular saw and one upright saw.

The Brazee and Woods mill was one of four sawmills located at or near Orange that were capable of cutting 3,000 to 4,000 board feet of lumber daily.

The other mills were owned by John Merriman, Robert Jackson and R.A. Neyland and Company’s steam shingle mill.

Following the end of the Civil War, in 1866, A.T. Chenault and John McGehee built a mill.

McGhee sold his interest to Chenault and Chenault converted the mill to become the first mill in Orange to manufacture sawn shingles. A Muzzy Upright Shingle Machine was installed that was capable of cutting 10,000 shingles a day.

The machine was pushed in 1867 to cut 15,000 per day and later became a marvel when it was able to be converted in late 1868 to cut 20,000 shingles per day.

David R. Wingate was already the owner of a large plantation in Newton County when he built a sawmill at Sabine Pass. The mill became the largest steam sawmill in the state. Along with the mill, Wingate operated a fleet of timber schooners. In 1862, occupying Union forces burned the mill and

confiscated the schooners.

Wingate returned to Newton County and ran his plantation until 1873 when he moved to Orange and bought half interest in Eberle Swinford’s Phoenix Mill.

The shingle mill was capable of cutting 80,000 shingles a day and also operated a small circular sawmill. In 1877, Wingate wanted the freedom to make decisions own his own and sold his interest in the mill to Charles H. Moore of Galveston.

In 1878, he completed a new mill in Orange and started D.R. Wingate and Company. His mill burned in 1880. He built and lost other mills to fire. About 1890 after his wife’s death, he left the lumber business and ventured into rice farming.

Alexander Gilmer had come to Orange in 1867 and bought two-thirds interest in James Wood’s sawmill. Gilmer later built and operated his own mills.

Along with good fortune in the business, he also had mills built in 1869, 1891, 1893 and 1899.

His last lumber operation was the Lemon Lumber Company at Lemonville in northern Orange County. After the 1899 fire he did not return to Orange.

In April 1877, H.J. Lutcher and G. Bedell Moore built the Star and Crescent Sawmill. This was the largest and one of the most modern in the state. It was capable of cutting 100,000 board feet of lumber per day.

The mill was a mechanical marvel of the time — a 22-gang saw. A 36 inch log could be surfaced 12 inches apart on two sides, then fed into the huge saw, and in one minute, 22 one-inch by 12-inch boards would be cut. The mill was also capable of producing beams in a 14 X 32 inch dimension.

By 1905, the mill capacity would increase to 300,000 board feet of lumber per day.

This amount was equal to about 30 acres of virgin timber. A portion of the land holdings of Lutcher and Moore was equal to about 500 square miles of East Texas, Beauregard and Calcasieu Parishes in Louisiana.

In 1885, Lutcher and Moore built the log railroad at Niblett’s Bluff to bring the cut timber to the river where the logs were built into rafts and towed by tug to the mill at Orange.

In 1888, Lutcher and Moore was operating three locomotives, 175 loggers, and 80 tram cars. They were dumping 250,000 feet of cut lumber into the river daily. There were 200 workers in the Orange mills and the payroll was $13,500 per month.

Moore sold his interest to Lutcher in 1901. In 1902 Lutcher bought the L. Miller Lumber and Shingle Mill on the river south of Orange and remodeled it into the “Lower Mill”. The original mill at Orange became the “Upper Mill.”

In 1905, both mills were working 10 hour days.

Payday was every Saturday and the company was paying $22,000 in wages every month.

After 1920, lumber demand began to fall off. In 1920 there were only three large mills left in Orange.

The death blow to Orange’s lumber industry came with the Great Depression in 1930.

On Dec. 16, 1930, the last raft of logs reached the mill and when they were sawn, the mills closed ending 53 years of continuous operation.

After 1930 the Lutcher and Moore Lumber Company existed as a real estate, mineral rights for leasing and a timber sales firm. Eventually all its assets were liquidated.

The growth and wealth of Orange was based on the lumber industry. With the demise of all the businesses related to timber and lumber, Orange went into a decline that lasted until the explosion of the shipyards in World War II that brought new wealth into Orange.

There was a decline after World War II until the petrochemical industry brought new productivity to the “Sawdust City.”

Hommel, Jaynes hold serve in trout series COLBURN-FISHING CAPT. DICKIE COLBURN FOR THE RECORD

This past week saw the fishing improve on Sabine Lake as we dried out some and the lake continued to clear. The only fly in the ointment was a stiff southeast wind that eliminated fishing much of the lake every day.

The flounder bite was on the upswing as evidenced by the truck traffic on the revetment walls. The folks fishing on the rocks actually had an advantage over the boaters as it was a hassle trying to hold a boat off the wall with a 20 mph. wind at your back.

There was a very decent trout bite on the Causeway reefs, but you had to get there early.

The tides and the wind didn’t coincide most days so you had to get your catching done early. The east shoreline was also more userfriendly, but you had to be on top of your game in order to take advantage of the trout bite.

The structure all the way from Johnson’s Bayou to Green’s basically consists of one long gentle sloping flat punctuated by the bayous and a few small drains. Aside from figuring out what lure and what color the fish want, you have to also figure out how deep the fish are holding each day. One day they are chasing mullet in 2 to 3 feet of water and the next they are holding up well off the shoreline in four to six feet of water.

When the wind is pushing you off the shoreline into the open lake, you can rest assured COLBURN PAGE 5B

man who led the Broncos to two Super Bowl titles in the late 1990s, and now serves as Denver’s vice president of football operations, Elway never sounded all that convinced Tebow was the answer at the league’s most important position. He could now trade the hugely popular quarterback, who energized the Broncos in a run to the playoffs last season but also was plagued by erratic play.

If so, expect the Broncos and Denver to be more upbeat about getting Manning than downcast over potentially losing Tebow.

With Manning joining the Broncos, oddsmakers in Las Vegas immediately made Denver one of the top choices to win the Super Bowl next season, which will be played in Manning’s hometown of New Orleans.

Bryce Sampere hits for the Bridge City Cardinals against Kirbyville.

While Manning has undeniably stellar statistics - he has thrown for more than 50,000 yards passing, nearly 400 touchdowns and has 11 Pro Bowl selections to his credit - the first question for the Broncos will be whether he can perform at the same level.

The neck surgeries forced him to miss all of the 2011, even as he was the highest-paid QB in the game, and several teams that courted him wanted to see him throw. Denver was among them.

Last week, Manning worked out for Elway, coach John Fox and others in North Carolina at Duke’s athletic facilities. Elway said afterward that Manning ‘’looked comfortable’’ throwing the ball.

Manning now Bronco for $96M Staff Report For The Record

Peyton Manning is a Denver Bronco.

A person familiar with negotiations says that Manning and the Broncos completed his fiveyear contract worth about $96 million on Tuesday morning.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because Manning is to be introduced at a news conference at Broncos headquarters later.

The agreement ends a wild chase for perhaps the most valued free agent in the history of the NFL, a quarterback who has won an unprecedented four league MVP awards and took the Indianapolis Colts to a Super Bowl victory in 2007.

It also represents a huge coup for Broncos executive and Hall of Fame QB John Elway, and could spell the end of the Denver career of Tim Tebow, last year’s quarterbacking sensation.

Turns out Tebowmania may have just been a fad in Denver.

ESPN and the NFL Network first reported on the completion of the Manning deal.

Manning called Elway on Monday and told him that he had chosen Denver over the Tennessee Titans and San Francisco 49ers, his oth-

‘04 Chevy Tahoe

er final picks. The Broncos and Manning’s agent then hashed out the contract details. ‘’I congratulate Peyton as he heads to a tremendous organization in the Denver Broncos.

We wish him nothing but the best as he continues his Hall of Fame career,’’ Colts owner Jim Irsay said Tuesday.

With the 35-year-old Manning recovering from a string of neck surgeries, Irsay released him two weeks ago rather than pay a $28 million bonus.

But plenty of teams still believed Manning can still be the kind of leader who guided Indy to 12 wins a season from 2001-10.

Baylor Bears only Texas team in sweet sixteen KAZ’S KORNER JOE JAZMAR For The Record When the dust had settled after last week’s action in the 2012 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, the Baylor Bears were the sole Lone Star State’s representative still standing as the huge field of 68 teams was whittled down to what is fondly referred to as the “Sweet Sixteen.”

There were only three teams from Texas and none from Louisiana that even qualified for basketball’s March Madness this season, and two of those—the Lamar Cardinals and the Texas Longhorns-- were quickly sent home after horrible starts against their first opponents.

The No. 3-seeded Baylor Bears didn’t exactly set the world on fire in their initial game against No. 14 South Dakota State last Thursday and struggled to a 68-60 opening-round victory.

Many Lamar Cardinal followers were kind of peeved when the NCAA selection committee seeded them in the bottom eight of the entire tournament which played in the first round Tuesday and Wednesday for a spot in one of the

four 16-team regions.

Although the Southland Conference champion Lamar Cardinals were an early three-point favorite over Vermont, the runner-up team from the America East Conference, the points had dropped to 1½ by tip-off time Wednesday evening.

And the Catamounts took it to the Cardinals before the game was 10 minutes old, jumping out to a lead that Lamar was unable to overcome. Vermont shot better than 50 per cent from the floor while the Cards countered with a paltry 27 per cent, which led to a convincing 71-59 trouncing and a trip back to their Beaumont campus.

The Texas Longhorns were the 11th seeded team in the East Region and faced sixth-seeded Cincinnati Friday morning in Nashville. The ‘Horns got out of the gate very slowly, got behind early, caught up but then fell short at the final buzzer 65-59.

Texas trailed 16-2 with just eight minutes left in the first half and 31-17 at the intermission. In losing on the NCAA Tournament’s first weekend for the fourth consecutive year, the Longhorns missed 14 of their first 15 shots and then

TECL# 28475

rallied from a 19-point deficit to tie the score with less than four minutes left. Then they went cold again.

“It was sorta kinda the way our season has been,” UT Coach Rick Barnes told the Houston Chronicle after the game.

“We put ourselves back in position to win the game, and we didn’t.”

Friday’s defeat marked the ninth time this season the Longhorns lost a game decided by six points or fewer (they won just two such contests).

However, Barnes did not sound like the coach of a program on the decline. He told the Chronicle that he is proud of the position the Longhorns are in. He even said he expects to win a national championship.

One of the big keys to the future is the status of junior Golden Triangle star guard J’Covan Brown and freshman guard Myck Kobongo, who may both declare early for the NBA draft.

Brown led the Big 12 in scoring and Kobongo was a McDonald’s All-American, who battled inconsistency throughout the regular season.

Baylor was headed for a second mediocre performance in Saturday’s third round against former Big 12 member Colorado when shooting guard Brady Heslip showed exactly why he is the Bears’ shooting guard by pouring through nine-of-12 three-pointers for a career-high 27 points to help defeat the 11th-seeded Buffs 8063 and advance to the Sweet Sixteen.

“We want to prove everybody wrong when we get to the national championship game,” Baylor center Perry Jones III told the Waco Tribune after the game. “It feels good to make the Sweet 16. I’m glad Brady was out there feeling it and was on his game.”

Baylor (29-7) set a school record for wins and will face 10th-seeded Xavier Friday in Atlanta.

“I was very proud of the way we played in the second half and especially how we clamped down on defense,” Baylor coach Scott Drew chortled.

Xavier advanced to the regional semifinals of the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in five years by knocking off upset-minded Lehigh 70-58 Sunday. Lehigh, which stunned No. 2 seed Duke on Friday, was looking to become the first No. 15 seed in NCAA history to make it to the tournament’s second weekend.

While two No. 2 seeds—Duke and Missouri—fell to No. 15’s Lehigh and Norfolk State on a history-making day Friday, all four No. 1’s got through the first week safely—the first time that has happened since 2009.

All but two of the 16 teams in the regional semifinals come from power conferences with X a v i e r and Ohio University the lone exceptions. This will be the first time since 2003 that 14 teams from the six major conferences have made the Sweet 16.

Besides the BaylorXavier matchup, the South Region also will feature No. 1 Kentucky taking on No. 4 Indiana. No. 1 Syracuse locks horns with No. 4 Wisconsin and No. 2 Ohio State meets No. 6 Cincinnati in the East on Thursday.

The No. 1 overall team in the tourney North Carolina plays No. 13 Ohio and No. 2 Kansas prepares for No. 11 North Carolina State Friday in the Midwest Region. In the West Region it’s No. 1 Michigan State vs. No. 4 Louisville and No. 3 Marquette vs. No. 7 Florida Thursday.

In this year’s Sweet 16 field there are a combined 71 Final Four appearances and 26 national titles among them.

KWICKIES…The Houston Astros are still playing a little better than .500 ball in games through Sunday as Opening Day is within two weeks away. Don’t be surprised if only one or two regulars from last year’s April team start this year’s season.

It looks on Monday that the Denver Broncos will win the Peyton Manning Sweepstakes after team president John Elway was satisfied with the way Manning throws the football after recovering from three neck surgeries. The Seattle Seahawks signed Green Bay’s career backup quarterback Matt Flynn to a three-year contract in an effort to solidify Seattle’s quarterback position. On Saturday the San Francisco 49ers signed former New York Giants’ receiver Mario Manningham.

Vin Scully will call the LA Dodgers baseball games for his 63rd season with the major league team. The 84-year-old Hall of Famer will scale back his workload and will broadcast all home and road games in California and Arizona, but not Colorado this season. Scully, the longest tenured broadcaster in sports, still will work more than 100 games for the 2012 season.

Golfer Luke Donald won last weekend’s PGA Transitions Championship in a four-man sudden-death playoff with a birdie on the first extra hole and re-claimed his No. 1 ranking in the world from Rory McIlroy. Donald, who shot a five-under-par 66 on Sunday’s final day, finished in a tie with veteran Jim Furyk, Robert Garrigus and Bae Sang –Moon and collected a check for $990,000.

Bruce Bryant out lasted the wind for this nice trout.

Colburn: Fishing that a large portion of your drift is spent in non-productive water. A drift sock will slow your drift speed down, but there is no substitute for planting a Talon or Power Pole as soon as you catch a fish. An anchor or Stake out Stick is equally effective, but requires a little more effort to quickly stop the boat.

I didn’t have a particularly hard time finding trout last week, but I struggled with catching them. I had clients catch personal best trout on back to back days and another client catch 13 trout while I managed to put only two in the boat. That is how it is supposed to work and I will take that result every day, but it does make you question your own catching skills!

I fished every day but Wednesday when I spent the day at Daley’s hosting a series of mini-seminars. A lot of folks turned out and we were still sharing information and explaining techniques when the doors closed at the end of the day.

Adam Jaynes was also logging hours on the water all week both guiding and looking to put together a solid pattern for last Saturday’s third qualifying event in the Gulf Coast Trout Series. He and his partner, Aaron Hommel, lose a couple of hours of fishing each event to travel time back to the weigh-in so they have to get it done in a hurry. It’s hard enough to find fish, must less make them bite on your schedule.

The pro Cure/GTI team was in second place for the year entering this event and eventually lost a few points to the first place team with a ninth place finish, but still remain tied for second over all going into the final event of the year. Their best three trout weighed in at a respectable 10.91-pounds, but Adam said the total could have easily been much better.

Jaynes worked a party with me the day before the tournament and as tough as the fishing was he still had three trout that would have totaled 15-pounds. Saturday morning the trout were

holding in the same area, but they broke off two trout over the five-pound mark in the first thirty minutes. They caught trout all morning long, but just could not find another big fish.

The overall leaders, Joe and Roger Friedrichs, strengthened their grip on first place in the team of the year chase with their second straight win. They brought in the heaviest stringer weighing 18.92-pounds and also captured big trout honors with an 8.2-pound fish.

Toledo Bend was apparently very crowded this past weekend with the Spring break traffic and the Oilman’s Classic taking place over the weekend. Johnny Borque said they caught a lot of crappie, but gave up on bass fishing due to the crowd.“We tried to fish two creeks in the Clear creek area, but it was boat to boat early in the morning,” said the T-Bend resident.“We caught 20 to 30 nice crappie Saturday and Sunday and we’ll just bass fish again next week. It is nice to see the lake back up and people able to use their docks again.”

The whacky worm bite pretty much ruled on the south end of the lake, but I didn’t receive any reports of bass over the seven pound mark. In fact, a lot of folks reported catching loads of small male bass and very few keeper fish. Maybe they should have put the whacky worm down as Jayne Pitman caught a 6.90-lb. bass Saturday evening and another six pounder Sunday morning fishing a chrome blue back Long A over the grass in three feet of water.

It is not too late to call the Orange First Baptist Church office at 886-7461 to see if they have any more tickets left and if they do you better grab one quickly. The third annual Wild game Dinner is set for Saturday afternoon on the church property located on the curve on MLK north of I-10. The food and fellowship alone make it a good deal, but there will be speakers and drawings for door prizes to boot.

Peveto.

Peveto is a registered nurse and was looking for a community service activity for her group of future health care workers. She had previously worked as a nurse in an oncology unit at an area hospital and knew of the prevalence of the disease in Southeast Texas. She suggested the event as an option.

“It has helped my students to think about others, as well as about how they can give back to the community.

I think that they have found Relay for Life fun and have actually been surprised at how rewarding it can be to help others,” Peveto said.

The Bridge City High School HOSA Club begins planning for Relay for Life at the beginning of each school year.

“Returning club members who have participated stand up and share information about Relay for Life and tell new members what it is like to be there,” Peveto said.

The students vote to participate.

Relay for Life raises funds to help find a cure for cancer, celebrates survivorship, and remembers those that have lost their battle, during a 12hour, all-night event that includes teams comprised of eight to 20 members.

Each team member is required to raise $100. Team members can fundraise individually or collectively.

The BC HOSA team raises funds through baked good sales during a Pink Out for Breast Cancer event at the school in the fall, several Relay for Life T-shirt sales

Bridge City High School’s Health Occupation Students of America

throughout the year and popcorn sales at school prior to Relay.

To raise awareness, the team also places pink ribbons throughout the community as part of October’s breast cancer activities.

Parents of BCHS HOSA members have also participated with the team during the Relay for Life luminary candlelight ceremony which honors and remembers individuals who are fighting cancer, survivors, and those who have lost their battle with the disease.

Peveto’s family attends as well. She, and her students, enjoy sharing the experience and passing Relay for Life on to others.

that because they participated in Relay for Life in high school, continue to be active in Relay for Life after they graduate. They find a team in the community or with their work place, in order to continue,” she said.

Peveto said the team appreciates the Bridge City High School campus administration and BCISD School Board. Both are supportive of their efforts.

“The students feel like they are making a difference in the world. They enjoy the camaraderie of the community coming together to fight cancer,” she said.

And the team is making an impact, since joining the Relay, BCHS HOSA has raised more than $10,000 for the American Cancer Society.

EPA celebrates 20th Anniversary of Energy Star and awards winners Staff Report

For The Record

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is kicking off the celebration of Energy Star’s 20th anniversary by recognizing the 2012 Energy Star award winners for their outstanding leadership and commitment to protecting America’s environment through superior energy efficiency.

Over the past 20 years, with help from Energy Star partners, American families and businesses have saved about

$230 billion on utility bills and prevented more than 1.7 billion metric tons of carbon pollution.

“As we celebrate 20 years of progress through the Energy Star program, EPA is proud to congratulate the 2012 Energy Star award winners,” said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson.

“Thanks to their innovative thinking and commitment to energy efficiency, these leaders are helping Americans find cost-effective ways to save energy in everything we do, which is good for our environment, our health and our

future.”

The 109 Energy Star award winners were chosen from nearly 20,000 partners from across the nation. Organizations are recognized in one of four Energy Star award categories: corporate commitment, sustained excellence, partner of the year, and excellence in delivering specific promotions.

Corporate Commitment: Sears Holdings Corporation is being recognized with the highest honor, the Energy Star corporate commitment award. This award is reserved

for partners whose superior achievements in energy efficiency span the breadth of the Energy Star program.

Sustained Excellence: Fiftyseven sustained excellence winners continue to raise the bar across their respective industries for outstanding achievements in energy efficiency. A few of these winners include: Food Lion Family, Bloom, and Bottom Dollar Food; GE Appliances & Lighting; Gresham-Barlow School District; Hanesbrands Inc.; Nissan North America, Inc.; PepsiCo, Inc.; and SaintGobain.

Partner of the Year: Thirtysix organizations are receiving partner of the year awards for protecting the environment through energy efficient products, practices and services. These organizations

promote Energy Star products and practices in their own operations, and provide efficient products and services to consumers within their community. A few of these winners include: Cleveland Clinic; Colgate-Palmolive Company; General Motors Company; Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.; Staples, Inc.; and The Boeing Company.

Excellence: Fifteen organizations are recognized with an excellence award for advancing energy-efficient products, homes, or buildings and helping to expand the reach of the Energy Star program. A few of these winners include: Design Tech Homes; DIRECTV; Good Earth Lighting, Inc.; and Sharp Electronics Corporation.

Launched in 1992 by EPA, Energy Star is a market-based partnership to reduce green-

house gas emissions through energy efficiency. Last year alone, Americans, with the help of the Energy Star program and its partners, saved approximately $23 billion on their energy bills while preventing greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to the annual emissions of 41 million vehicles. To date, more than 1.3 million new homes and nearly 16,500 buildings across all 50 states have earned EPA’s Energy Star certification. Today, the Energy Star label can be found on more than 60 different kinds of products with more than 5 billion sold over the past 20 years.
