The Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrested eight Orange County parents who violated court orders requiring them to pay child support.

The sweep was conducted in conjunction with the Texas Attorney General’s Child Support Division. Today’s effort focused on parents who are wanted by authorities for failing to pay their court-ordered child support, according to a press release.

In addition to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, Orange and Vidor Police

If you receive a jury duty summons notification from Orange County in the mail it’s best that you not ignore it and throw it away.

The county will now be taking actions to enforce the law so citizens will appear for jury duty. Jurors without a reasonable excuse to miss jury duty may face a criminal penalty prescribed by law and subject to a contempt action punishable by a fine of not less than $100 or more than $1,000.

A juror lawfully notified shall be fined not less than $100 nor more than $500 if the juror fails to attend court in obedience to the notice without reasonable excuse. Rough-

The Pinehurst City Council opened the Tuesday meeting by issuing two proclamations.

The first was the proclamation of April as Fair Housing Month in the City of Pinehurst. The proclamation states that the City of Pinehurst is fully in compliance with the principle of fair housing for all citizens as stated in the Civil Rights Act of 1968.

The second proclamation stated that the month of May will be designated as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month.

The proclamation states the need for vehicle drivers to become more aware of the pres-

Child Support

From Page 1

OC Court takes care of legal matters

Parents who have fallen behind on their child support payments – but are not subject to warrants for their arrest – should immediately contact the Attorney General’s Child Support Division at (800) 252-8014 to make payment arrangements.

Under state and federal law, the Office of the Attorney General can assist families who request child support services and must serve families who currently receive or have received public assistance.

Services offered by the Child Support Division include locating absent parents; establishing paternity for children born to unmarried parents; establishing, enforcing, and modifying child and medical support orders; and collecting and distributing child support payments.

Statewide, child support collected by the Office of the Attorney General exceeded $3 billion for the state fiscal year that ended Aug. 31, 2011. Orange county parents paid $13.9 million of that amount.

The Orange County Commissioners’ Court decided to pursue some legal matters when they met Monday afternoon.

Douglas Manning, assistant county attorney, announced the county will offer no compensation or settlement in an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission charge of discrimination filed

by Barbara Lincoln unless there is a prior approval from the commissioners’ court when they meet next Monday.

Lincoln was formerly employed by the Veterans’ Service Office and was discharged last year.

In the case of Billy Griffith v. Huel R. Fontenot, the county opted to file a motion to sunset the consent decree.

The case stems from a 1994 lawsuit over the Orange County Jail’s law library, filed in The United States District Court. The county met the requirements last year for the law library by using a computer rather than law books.

Lastly, the county will pursue a course to vigorously relief in the case of David

Bailey v. Orange County, filed in the 128th District Court of Orange County.

Bailey was employed by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, but fired after he was charged with deadly conduct with a THIBODEAUX process server. He was acquitted of the charge and has filed suit against the county.

In other county business, the court approved filling two vacant misdemeanor prosecutor positions created by the departure of Amanda Sharp and the retirement of Mike Marion.

Sharp is moving to New Braunfels to work there. Marion is retiring from the county to work in private practice.

Marion told the court he appreciates working 22 years in Orange County, most of the time in the OCSO, and later in the district attorney’s office.

“It’s been a great experience. I began as a part-time bookkeeper in the jail. I completed my education (college and law school at night) thanks to the county,” he said.

County Judge Carl Thibodeaux congratulated Marion for being a self-made man.

“You’ve worked your way up. That speaks of your character,” Thibodeaux said.

The commissioners also approved the hiring of seven temporary summer help employees for mowing the right of way throughout Orange County in the Road and Bridge Department.

They will start April 1 and work until September.

Jody Crump, Precinct 4 Commissioner, gave “kudos” to the Road and Bridge and the Drainage District for getting the storm water out so quickly during last week’s rainfall.

One citizen brought before the court’s attention drainage problems in the Medford Addition.

He said a package plant doesn’t want to send its waste water to the Sabine River but discharges it in the ditch instead.

Thibodeaux said workers will check out the situation that afternoon.

Jury duty summons Hahn said. “We had a 20 percent appearance rate. It kept dwindling down. Other counties are experiencing the same thing.”

On another occasion, notices were sent again to 200 other potential jurors and only 63 appeared for duty. That’s why the jurors were there that Wednesday afternoon to explain to the court why they didn’t appear.

Hahn said jurors have the option of calling in or going online to reschedule an alternate date.

Alternate dates were set on April 30, May 7, May 21 and June 4 for the jurors. Seven potential jurors were exempted from serving after they spoke with the judge.

Vickie Edgerly, Orange County District Clerk, said this is actually the fifth chance for jurors to respond.

First, they are sent two qualification cards and afterward four notices to show. Some will receive three notices for a failure to appear.

Different summonses are sent for those who qualify either by online or by telephone.

Hahn said some exemptions are legitimate to miss jury duty.

For instance, one man was serving in the military in Saudi Arabia when he received his summons. One woman was undergoing chemotherapy for six weeks. Another man moved to Beaumont and his ex-wife wouldn’t send him his mail.

Convicted felons may not serve on a jury.

Economic hardship, however, won’t get one out of jury duty because it is not a legal and recognized excuse. Employers must hold their employees jobs but they don’t have to to be paid while serving on a jury.

Edgerly said residents who move to another county must let Orange County know they have moved or they will stay in the system.

Also, family members must notify the county of other family members who are deceased or ill.

The county implemented a new computerized system for jury notification last year to keep track. Previously, Edgerly said nothing was happening to jurors if they didn’t show up.

Another thing that changed is residents are chosen for jury duty if they possess a valid driver’s license and not based on if they are registered to vote.

Edgerly added residents appearing for jury duty saves the county money down the road because fewer notices need be sent out.

“I don’t know if we left an impression (on those who were delinquent for jury duty). This is the first step for something,” Hahn said. “We had to do something. We didn’t want word on the street spread if you have jury duty in Orange County, and you miss, you don’t have to worry about it.”

The council went into a 35 minute closed session to discuss several issues. One issue that was discussed in closed session and acted on in the reopened session was to give City Administrator Joe Parkhurst the authority to obtain an assessment and appraisal of the old city hall building. After the appraisal is done, the council will discuss whether to lease or sell the property.

Action was taken in the reopened session on the reappointment of Parkhurst as the city administrator. City employees had been given a three percent pay raise, which Parkhurst had turned down. As a result of the exceptional job the council feels Parkhurst is doing he was reappointed and given the raise along with the other employees In the report Parkhurst made as City Administrator he read a letter from a citizen complementing the employees of the Water and Sewer Department for their quick action in saving the citizen’s home from excessive damage during the recent deluge last Tuesday. Sewage began to back up in the home and the homeowners were attempting to fight the incoming sewage.

They made a call to the city and in a short time Matt Stephens and another employee came out and pulled a clean-out plug that relieved pressure and stopped the sewage from entering the

The letter stated that had Stephens and the other employee not have arrived so soon that they would have had much more damage than they already had. “We appreciate our citizens letting us know what is going on, whether it is good or bad. We feel that we really have a group of outstanding employees in the City of Pinehurst,” said Permenter.

Parkhurst reported that in attempt to minimize the impact of flushing the waterlines, the city is flushing lines at 9:00 p.m. on Friday nights. The city is aware of the problem of dirty water in the lines and is looking for solutions to the problem.

Several new businesses are in the process of locating in the city. Parkhurst reported that Fuzzy’s should be opened in the old Crazy Jose’s location about May 1. The new Dixie Glass business on MacArthur Drive will also be opened about the same time.

PacOil has leased the Strickland Plaza building in front of Craft Oil and will be opening a package store, and an Exxon three pump and convince store in the building.

He liked sports and he loved baseball. He was proud of his grandkids but in all the years I knew him he also praised other people’s children as well. I never heard him say a negative word about another youngster but he was often stern with his own. He was such a good man.

REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES LACK ENTHUSIAM Last week I said in this column that Mitt Romney, in order to win the Republican nomination, had to swing far to the right and that would hurt him in the general election. I stated that after the election he would have to swing back to the center. In less than 24 hours I had my answer. Eric Fehrnstrom, a top Romney aide, was asked by CNN how Romney would attract the moderate in November after swinging so far to the right? Fehrnstrom replied that, “Everything changes after the primaries. It’s almost like an Etch a Sketch.” He then added, “You can kind of shake it up and start all over again.” Actually Fehrnstrom is correct because Romney doesn’t have a chance in hell to beat Obama if he tries to ride the Paul Ryan budget plan and all the extreme right wing hogwash. Rick Santorum says Romney is the worst Republican in the country to run against Obama. Rick has a point because with Romney at the head of the ticket, many down ticket candidates will lose. Tea Party congressmen will really be in a bind supporting Romney after he uses the Etch A Sketch and erases all his conservative promises and goes back to being his moderate self. How will they defend him? Jeb Bush was smart enough to endorse Romney. He knows he doesn’t stand a chance but he puts himself in good shape to get that big establishment money four years from now when he makes the run. I looked at the Sunday Houston Chronicle cover to cover and not a word did I read about the election Saturday in Louisiana. Other papers had short reports way in the back pages. Santorum won with 49 percent, Romney got about half that. The voter turnout was low. As many people vote in a hot New Orleans mayors race as did in the entire state last Saturday. The enthusiasm is down all over the country, about 12 percent. Unfortunately for the Republicans, it’s down with the Independents and the woman’s vote. A national poll out Monday shows Obama leading Romney 48-39. It’s worse for Santorum. Romney will buy the nomination by outspending Rick in the large cities. His problems are just starting. He won’t outspend Obama 7-1 and his Etch A Sketch plan won’t help.

MAY SHE REST IN PEACE I JUST LEARNED THAT A DEAR FRIEND, A WONDERFUL LADY, Anabel Anderson, age 90, passed away Monday, March 26. A mass of Christian burial will be held at 1 p.m. Friday, March 30, at St. Mary Catholic Church in Orange. Visitation will be from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday at Claybar Funeral Home. Anabel and Arthur lived many years on Cherry Street, across from St. Mary Church, where they raised a great family. She was extremely proud of her children and their families. Her home will belong to the Church on a deal that was made several years ago. A native of Abbeville, she was the only child of Felix and Edna DeMary.

She had quite a history in her background. Her life was dedicated to her family, community service and church. I recall just a few short years ago when she went swimming every morning at the Orange Natatorium. She was an avid friend of this newspaper and a special friend of mine. I loved her. She was a real sweetheart. My condolences to her family, church family and friends.

May she rest in peace. Please see obit.

REMEMBERING A FRIEND Eugene Paul Hidalgo, age 72, died last week, March 21, service was held Sunday, March 25. I had known Gene for well over 45 years and for all those years I considered him a close friend. It’s difficult to write about someone’s death that you have been close to. There is much I would like to say that space doesn’t allow. My friends, those that are with me constantly or those far away, are the loyal ones, without a grain of doubt I always know where they are and if the chips are down, I know in my heart their friendship will never waver. Gene was that kind of guy to family and friends.

He loved life; he loved his people, and was loyal to the core. I can say that about a half dozen people and he was one that did to ride this crazy world with. He faced his struggles, always counted his blessings and wore a big smile that flashed his goodness. I only wish he would have treated himself better. We’ve lost a special kind who cared more about others than himself. We’ll miss him.

May he rest in peace. Please see obit.

TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME 10 Years Ago-2002 The Stark Foundation opens Shangri La. Educator Michael Hoke is named director. Shangri La, in Orange, Texas, was a 250acre private garden and wildlife sanctuary of the late H.J. Lutcher Stark. Hoke said, “It’s destined to become a world class nature and research center. The gardens, which once attracted thousands of visitors, have been closed to the public for more than 40 years. (Editor’s note: Mr. Stark would not believe the great improvements to his Shangri La. It’s a great gift from the Stark Foundation to the people of Orange County. Happy 10th anniversary and thanks.)*****County Bank opened last week on Edgar Brown Drive. A familiar name but new banking organization.

Edgar Brown, Jr., opened County National Bank, (the round bank), in 1960. The new County Bank is a branch of First National Bank of Newton and is headed by longtime local banker Carlo Vacek. The group also has banks in Buna, Jasper, Kirbyville and Vidor. (Editor’s note: Vacek is still with the bank even though the bank has been sold to Walter Umphrey. Bridge City native Mike Hatton is a vice-president with Walter’s bank operation.)*****Bill Townes, age 74, died Saturday, March 23, the birthday of his 14-year-old twin grandsons, Chad and Brad Townes. The twins are the sons of Ted and Debbie, who are also the parents of Tyler and Tara. Bill retired from Kroger and owned KingSaver Food Centers in Orange and Galveston.

He and Linda have one son, Warren, age two, and are expecting another child. *****It was a lively party at the home of Roy and Phyllis Dunn to celebrate the anniversary of the Opportunity Valley News. The party was also a wake for Gordon Baxter, who was again fired from radio. Entertainment was live and on the hoof.

Bax used his pipe as a mike to emcee the six hours of entertainment. Jimmy Carlisle, of Nashville radio fame, organized that talent. Don Jacobs sang most of his songs including “Stump Broke Henry,” “Leave Wella Nuff Alone” and a song he wrote about Harold Beeson’s ex-wife and one about Sheriff Moore, who had a daughter named “Les.” He went on to sing a couple dozen songs. Vickie Cash, Dennis Hall and H.D. Pate joined all the other entertainers on musical instruments. All the many guest joined in some way or other. Judge Don Burgess threw in the “uh-hahs and ye’ah-ye-ahs. Beeson and Bax passed the bottle of tequila with the worm in it until it was all gone, so was the worm and the two drinkers. No one knows who got the worm.

Louise Green slept through it all. (Editor’s note: There are still folks out there who will remember attending that party. Many are gone including Bax, Beeson and Carlisle.

A FEW HAPPENINGS We were glad to hear that Todd Edgerly, after brain surgery and a extended hospital stay, is up and about. He was spotted at a Bridge City baseball game. He’s the son of Gene and Judge Flo Edgerly. We wish Todd God speed and continued improvement.*****Rebecca Cailler Taylor, formerly of here, now an Austin resident, reads us online every week. Yes, you can read our entire newspaper on our web site TheRecordLive.com and many around the country are doing so. Thanks to Rebecca for the little jewel you sent us and we will use it.*****For many years I’ve known Rush and Louise Wood, long before they knew each other.

Now he’s retiring. He’s a prince of a guy; I’ve never met anyone who didn’t like him. We wish him the best. *****Last week I made a terrible name mistake. That’s how it is at times with older folks.

A name appears out of nowhere and at other times a name just escapes and never returns. I can’t explain why an old mind plays tricks like that. Last week, in this column, I called Judge Mike Abbott’s wife Jessie. I have no idea where the name Jessie came from. Maybe I once knew a Jessie Abbott, seems like I did. Anyway, I’ve known for a longtime that Mike’s wife is Kay. My apologies. ***** By the way, the Wednesday Lunch Bunch will dine at Robert’s this week. Novrozsky’s next week. *****Folks we know

Over 2,300 heart transplants were preformed last year. Not even Cheney knows the identity, race or color of the donor. We wish the VP the best, but wonder if the donor was a good, caring Democrat.*****I’m looking forward to the Final Four next weekend. Saturday’s semi-finals pits Louisville, (30-9) vs Kentucky (36-2) in the early game and Ohio State (31-7) vs Kansas (31-6) at 7:45 p.m. on CBS.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Nolan Desomeaux and his wife Mary Lou, live deep in the Atchafalaya Basin. In da middle of da night, Mary Lou went into labor wit dare first child. Neighbor Joe Premeaux, him, took his boat and went and got Dr. Chauvin. Since dare was no electricity, da doc him, handed Nolan, da fadder, a lantern and said, “Here, you hold dis high so I can see wat I’m doing me.”

Soon a baby boy come into da world. Doc say, “Nolan, don’t put dat light down yet, me I tink dere’s a nudder one coming.”

Sure nuff, in a few minutes Doc deliver a baby girl. “Hold dat lantern up Noland,” da doctor say, “Don’t set it down, dere’s another one.” He delivered a turd baby. “Don’t be in no hurry Noland to put da light down, dere’s anudder one,” said the doctor.

Noland, da young, Cajun man, scratch his head and axe da doctor, “ You rekon dis here light is wat’s attracting dem hanh?”

C’EST TOUT The Supreme Court will hear six hours of arguments, spread over three days, and will rule later on challenges to the Affordable Care Act. The Court will focus on two main issues, individual mandate and Medicaid expansion. The ruling will come in June, in the middle of the general election or the Court could wait until 2014, when all provisions go into affect. Health Care reform was very much needed. Every president since Nixon had a proposal that they couldn’t get off the ground. I’m holding a 10page print out on President Richard Nixon’s health care reform. Regardless of the Supreme Court decision, many health care experts predict an evolution rather than a return to business as usual. Despite of what you think, as health care stands today, the benefits are that we are doing something with a broken system. Even if the Health Care Act is completely thrown out, in order to maintain our competitiveness in the world something will have to replace it. Avoiding change is not a choice. If the present Obama Care is stripped, benefactors will be the large insurance companies. *****On the international scene, it seems President Obama will have a better relationship with Russia with Putin in control. I bet after the November election, President Obama will be more flexible; working together they will solve the Iranian and Syrian problems. Speaker Boehner praised Obama on his inroads with Russia. *****Next week is Holy Week, Sunday will be Easter. Time flies and mine is all gone. Thanks for yours. Read us cover to cover, patronize our family of advertisers, and enjoy the great weather. Take care and God bless.

A Rose is a Rose is a Lie Kent Conwell

Lighter Side of Life For The Record

Even if you think our president is doing a lousy job, there is one quality about him in which you must admit he excels–perhaps more than any other president.

His eloquence.

The president or perhaps I should add, and his speech writers to a superb job in leading the listening public along the rosy red paths down which he says he is taking them.

As you are well aware after three years, some of these primrose paths have led us into a jungle of poison ivy and stinging nettles.

You’ve heard the old saying, “a rose is a rose is a rose.” Sometimes, the rose turns out to be a lie, which brings us to an important topic, one of which every American should be aware.

Our president is not always forthright with the truth. His passion overwhelms his common sense and logic.

In some of his recent fund-raising speeches around the country, he claimed that under his watch, drilling permits have increased.

Now, here’s the point I’m making. Let’s examine those last four words, “drilling permits have increased.”

On the surface, he is saying that his administration has sped up the granting of permits to drill for oil and gas. That is where his rhetoric is misleading, where he is not being up-front with the citizenry. Drilling permits are up, but not on federal lands. They’re up on private lands on which the government has nothing to say.

On federal lands, drilling permits are down. His energy czar slipped up when he admitted they wanted gas prices to soar.

The president has a history of promising what he must to get what he wants. Once he’s achieved his goal, the promises become nothing more that fodder for the sheep who believed him.

We all remember how he used his mother’s illness in his 2008 campaign, leading us to believe she had no insurance when her insurance did indeed pay for her chronic illness. That political technique is the cornerstone that he stills uses.

Just last week at Prince George’s Community College in Largo,

Maryland, he stated there had always been “naysayers” who don’t believe in the future and don’t want to try to do things differently.

“One of my predecessors,” he said, “Rutherford B. Hayes reportedly said about the telephone it’s a great invention, but who would ever want to use one?”

The crowd laughed, and he added. “That’s why he’s not on Mount Rushmore. Because he’s looking backwards. He’s not looking forwards.”

The point he’s making here is that his ideas are the ones of the future.

Trouble is, he is lying about Hayes.

After this speech, several national magazines quickly pointed out that President Hays never made that remark, and he was the first present to have a telephone in the White House. In fact, when he first saw the technology, he exclaimed, “This is wonderful.” According to the White House Historical Association, the phone was installed in 1879, and the number was “1.”

Unless you believe this was only an isolated situation, remember his campaign promise to “prevent brand-name drug companies from blocking generic drugs?” According to Louis Jacobson, this refers to curbing alleged anti-competitive practices between brand manufacturers and generic drug makers.

Another lie. In the four years since the promise, nothing has been done, nor has an effort been made to curb generic blocking.

Another promise broken was to create a $10 billion fund to help homeowners refinance or sell their homes. It is not for speculators, people who bought vacation homes, or people who falsely represented their incomes.

Three long years later, Angie Holan of PolitFact wrote “When it comes to President Obama’s promise to create a foreclosure prevention fund, he’s kept to the letter of the law, but his administration has completely failed to meet its spirit” The news website, ProPublica extensively investigated the program and reached several disheartening conclusions.

With millions of homeowners struggling to stay in their homes, the Obama administration’s foreclosed program has been weakened by lax oversight and a posture of cooperation instead of enforcement with the nation’s biggest banks, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chaqse, and Citibank.

The special inspector general for the program, Neil M. Barofsky, wrote in an op-ed in the New York Times that the housing pro-

5A

gram was “a colossal failure.” He blamed the lack of enforcement on the U.S. Treasury Department.

When questioned, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner acknowledged the program “won’t come close to fulfilling its original expectations; that its incentive are not powerful enough; and the mortgage services are doing a terribly inadequate job. Barofsky went on to write that the ‘Treasury officials refused to address these shortfalls. Instead, they continue to stubbornly maintain the program is a success and needs no material change.”

You remember Timothy Geithner,, Obama’s handpicked Secretary of the Treasury, the guy whose returns had tax accountants debating back in 2009 whether the missteps were the result of cheating or of the overly complicated tax code?

He’s still the Secretary, but given the tenor of this administrations politics, I can’t help wondering if the tax accountants were provided some higher-level assistance.

And then, who doesn’t remember the promise to eliminate all income taxation on seniors making less than $50,000 a year. That, Obama said, will eliminate taxes for seven million seniors, saving them an average of $1,400 a year and will mean 27 million seniors will not have to file tax returns.

Have any of you seniors out there seen anything that looks like a tax break? The idea was not even part of the tax cuts in the economic stimulus bill, known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act; it was not in Obama’s first budget outline either, which Congress approved on April 2, 2009; and it is not part of any proposed tax cuts on the board.

These are only a few of the multitude of unkept promises the man made. There are more, enough to fill; a book, and all packed with similar promises he never intended to keep.

I mentioned earlier just how eloquent the man is. And to be honest, when I listen to him, I can see how easy it is for the poorly informed to be swept up in his flowery rhetoric, enthralled by the promises of a government that will clothe and feed you, tuck you into bed, and then laugh behind your back at just how stupid you really are. 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

Fresh water not a game changer on Sabine Lake COLBURN-FISHING CAPT. DICKIE COLBURN FOR THE RECORD

My initial reaction was that the rogue monsoon that unloaded twelve inches of rain on our area in less than four hours would slam the door on the rapidly improving trout bite. For that matter, that may still happen as there is a lot of water between here and Toledo Bend yet to arrive, but much to my surprise, the trout have responded as if all of the fresh water was no big deal.

Water clarity was a bigger issue than decreased salinity the first couple of days after the flood as we weathered incredibly strong southeast winds prior to the passage of the front that silted up the open lake. As a matter of fact, I can never recall leaving the dock knowing the wind was already blowing as hard as it was when I pulled out that Monday morning.

Safety is always the number one concern, but if there is no protected water to fish its wind-1….guide-0 and you cancel the trip. With that in mind I suggested that Boo Schexneider postpone the trip, but it was the only day he could get his Pastor and his son on the water and he felt it was worth the try. I was still trying to reschedule the following morning in the parking lot, but Boo, Pastor Fred Sanders and his son, Eric, wanted to give it a try.

When we hit East Pass the projected 20 mph winds were closer to 30 mph and the only semi-protected water was on the Louisiana shoreline on the other side of the incoming breakers. We tied everything down and only because I had a preacher on board did I make the decision to try to cross Coffee Ground COLBURN PAGE 5B

After the first week of district play the LCM Bears have the best record, but only because they have had two games to the other three teams, one game apiece.

LCM is 2-0-0, leading the District 20-4A Friday, March 30, the Bears will meet the PNG Indians at 7 p.m. It will be a home game for the Bears.

Bridge City, West OrangeStark, and Silsbee all won their first games ending the week 1-00. Orangefield, Hamshire-Fannett and -Jefferson are starting with the 0-1-0 records.

The Bears took on the Vidor Pirates in their second district game and walked away after mauling the Pirates 8-1. Some great plays made it easy to understand why the Bears are ranked at Number 12 in the state rankings.

Reid Fults was the winning pitcher, allowing only three hits and giving up one unearned run.

Brandon Humphery came in as a reliever and only allowed one hit.

Casey Burleigh pounded a double, James Swan got two hits, and Ryan Carline was responsible for two RBIs. Shea Richards was the big stick of the game. Richards hit a two-run homer and a double.

He also made three great plays at shortstop.

Jake Lemoine was the man with the golden arm when the Bridge City Cardinals met the HardinJefferson Hawks on their district opening game.

Lemoine took the win by striking out 17 Hawk batters. In the 7-0 win, he only gave up three hits and gave up one walk.

Cameron Dishon got on base with a single, stole second and third, and crossed the plate on an RBI by Bryce Sampere.

Hunter Uzzle and Mitchell Hubbard both hit RBIs. Several errors by the Hawks led to Cardinals making the scoreboard for three runs. The Cards scored one

West Orange Stark’s Mustangs hosted the Hamshire-Fannett Longhorns and kicked out a 3-0 win.

The Mustang’s scored two runs in the first inning and one run in the fifth. Jacoy Finney went to the plate twice, got one hit that was also an RBI, driving in Grant Lapoint.

On his next appearance, Finney got on base with a walk. Finney stole two bases and scored one run.

The other two runs came from Lapoint scoring on the RBI from Finney and crossing the plate again by taking advantage of a Hawk error. Six Mustangs got on base from Hawk pitchers giving them each a walk.

March 30, the Mustangs cross the bayou to play Orangefield.

The next day Saturday, March 31, they will stay home and take on the Bridge City Cardinals. Both games will be at 7 p.m.

Payton regrets ‘bounty’ scandal Staff Report For The Record

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton told CNN Tuesday he is disappointed in himself and feels regret over a scandal that has left him suspended for the entire 2012 season.

“As the head coach, anything that happens within the framework of your team and your program you’re responsible for. And that’s a lesson I’ve learned,” Payton said in his first public comments since the NFL announced he will be suspended without pay. “And it’s one that It’s easy to get carried away in regards to a cer-

An NFL investigation found the team had an “active bounty program” during the 2009, 2010 and 2011 seasons in which “bounty” payments were given to players for hits that hurt opposing players and knocked them out of the game.

The NFL found evidence that bounties were put out on quarterbacks Brett Favre of the Minnesota Vikings, Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers, Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers, and Kurt Warner of the Arizona Cardinals.

CO is a genuine threat for boaters be present in the cabin and the cockpit of the vessel. When docked next to an idling boat or even one with a generator running, CO can enter the cabin and cockpit.

Additionally, going slowly or idling can cause COto accumulate even in an open area. A tailwind from the aft section of the boat can also cause CO to accumulate. This also may occur when operating the boat at a high bow angle.

Avoiding Death Zones: It is recommended to avoid certain areas of the boat and to be aware of safety hazards that can cause COpoisoning and possibly even death.

Do not swim near the back deck of the boat or swim platform if the boat is idling. Also avoid “teak surfing,” which is holding on to the swim platform of the boat while getting pulled behind.

Do not enter a partly enclosed or enclosed area under the swim deck or platform where exhaust is vented. Exhaust lingers in such areas, and it can be very fatal.

Avoid exhaust areas while the motor is running. Wait at least 15 minutes after shutting down the motor before moving toward these areas.

Educate all passengers about CO poisoning and post warning stickers in dangerous areas.

Inspect the exhaust system frequently to ensure it is running properly.

Purchase and test CO detectors for the boat before each trip.

Turn the engine off when stopped in the water.

Keep forward-facing hatches open in cabins or enclosed areas to allow for adequate air flow.

Move anyone complaining of CO poisoning symptoms to fresh air and investigate.

Carbon monoxide is a danger, but it doesn’t have to make boating trips end in a fatality. Employ safety tips when operating any motorized vessel.

Staff Report

For The Record

There’s something ominous lurking whenever you go boating or participate in water sports. No, it’s not a huge barracuda or a stalking shark. The United States Coast Guard warns that carbon monoxide, or CO, is an extremely dangerous substance boaters must be mindful of.

CO is formed by the incomplete combustion of many fuels, including wood, oil, kerosene, and charcoal. While it may be present in homes or coming from the rear exhaust of a car, it is also a concern for avid boaters. Often referred to as a “silent killer,” CO is an odorless, colorless, and tasteless gas, making it difficult to detect.

CO isn’t just around a boat’s engine, where it is found in high concentrations. It can also build up in enclosures in and around a boat. Furthermore, CO can collect at slow speeds and may be present while the boat is idling, moored or anchored -- even if the engine is no longer running.

There was a time when few boaters were concerned about CO, though awareness of its potentially fatal presence has grown significantly in the last few years.

How CO Affects People: Carbon monoxide enters the bloodstream through the lungs and displaces the oxygen the body needs to breathe, potentially causing death in a matter of seconds.

Early symptoms of COpoisoning include irritated eyes, nausea, dizziness, and headache. Because these symptoms can also mimic seasickness, they may be initially overlooked.

Any boat with an engine and/or generator can put those on board in danger under certain circumstances.

COAccumulation Areas: The rear of the boat and on or around the swim platform is the area where CO levels tend to be at their highest. But CO can also

Cardinals down HJ behind Lemoine’s 17 K’s in district opener going the Cardinal offense didn’t need many runs but the seven run cushion certainly helped put the game away.

BC’s next opponent will be their district rival the Silsbee Tigers. Silsbee has gotten off to a fast start this season as well and also opened up their district schedule with a 9-1 win over Orangefield. The game between these two is always highly contested and this one will certainly be no different, especially considering the condensed schedule for the weekend and beyond.

21-3A teams will play Friday, Saturday, and Tuesday to make up for re-scheduling due to state mandated tests. Three games in five days will certainly test even the deepest pitching staffs so a critical win over a big district opponent could catapult one of these teams to an early lead in the standings. Bridge City is certainly deep enough on the hill to handle the task and that’s exactly what head coach Chad Landry and the Cardinal faithful are hoping for.

Speaking of the Cardinal faithful and hope it appears that BC has taken major steps towards returning to full strength as seniors Matt Menard and Zach Smith appear to be recovering nicely from injuries and should be back on the field in the near future. It will certainly be great to see both of these players back in action. In the mean time the Cardinals will continue to prepare for possibly the toughest stretch of the season and another run at a district title and beyond.

Staff Report

Bridge City Cardinal baseball fans had no idea what they would witness as they found their way to their seats for the 21-3A district opener against Hardin Jefferson. It would soon be apparent to everyone in attendance that something special was happening right before their collective eyes. Senior right-hander Jacob Lemoine went to work on the hill for the Cards and by the time he called it a night he had racked up 17 strikeouts and tied the school record. Lemoine had one of the most dominant pitching performances in recent memory as he only allowed two bunt singles and an infield single in seven innings of work. What was perhaps the most impressive stat of the night is that he allowed only one walk while piling up all those strikeouts in a 7-0 victory.

The offense for Bridge City was lead by Senior Cameron Dishon and Sophomore Hunter Uzzle as they each collected two hits a piece. Mitchell Hubbard, Bryce Sampere, Hayden Guidry, Cameron Coulter, and Keaton Langston also had hits for the Cardinal attack. Bridge City continues to take full advantage of their team speed and pressed the issue all night with seven steals and aggressive base running. The Cardinals made HJ pay for several critical miscues on defense and seemed to get the majority of the breaks during the game. At the rate Lemoine was

March Madness interrupted by many sports bulletins

This time of the year usually is devoted exclusively to the college basketball teams competing to wear the title “National Champions.”

Several television networks poured out billions of dollars to be able to feature these various “winner advances, loser goes home” matchups at various designated locations around the country. Regular primetime shows are preempted. It’s a really big deal.

However, during the last two weeks, huge sports stories have taken away much of the luster and excitement the men’s college basketball tour-

nament normally generates.

First off, National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell issued the penalty from the league office about the bounty program of the New Orleans Saints.

Although the next meaningful football game is more than five months away, Saints’ head coach Sean Payton was suspended for the entire 2012 season and New Orleans’ general manager Mickey Loomis was suspended for eight games while Saints’ assistant Joe Vitt’s suspension was six games.

The Saints team was stripped of two second-round

draft picks and slapped with a $500,000 fine by Goodell. Payton is currently being pursued by Fox Sports, perhaps to work the 2012 football season in the broadcasting booth.

Just about the time the shock of the bounty transgression subsided, four-time Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Peyton Manning agreed to resume his quarterbacking career with the Denver Broncos and signed a five-year contract worth $96 million after convincing vice-president John Elway that he has recovered from the neck injury that sidelined him the entire 2011 season.

The ink wasn’t even dry on

Saints bounty scandal gram. In his remarks Tuesday, Payton did not admit any such wrongdoing.

The probe found that the Saints showed “a deliberate effort to conceal the program’s existence from league investigators, and a clear determination to maintain the program despite express direction from Saints ownership that it stop as well as ongoing inquiries from the league office,” the NFL said.

Former Saints defensive coach Gregg Williams was suspended indefinitely. General manager Mickey Loomis was suspended without pay for the first eight regular-season games of the 2012 season. Assistant head coach Joe Vitt was suspended without pay for the first six regular-season games.

The team was also fined $500,000 and will forfeit its second-round draft picks in 2012 and 2013, the National Football League has said.

More suspensions could be coming, the NFL said.

Payton told reporters he was going through a “range of emotions.”

“You’re disappointed, you’re disappointed in yourself that it got to this point,” he said.

Asked whether anyone on another team was injured as a result of the bounty program, Payton said no.

With five days left to appeal his suspension, Payton said he will make a decision in the next two to three days.

Speculation is swirling around whether he will ask coach Bill Parcells to return to the NFL to take over for him for the year.

Payton wrote off the speculation, saying he will visit Parcells on Tuesday or Wednesday, but that he is a “mentor” and the two speak regularly. “I think we’re a little ahead of ourselves with regards to that,” he said of the speculation.

Meanwhile, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Monday he’s focusing on pun-

the Manning story when the football world inquired, “What about Tim Tebow?” The Broncos are loaded with Denver Bronco football jerseys with Tebow’s name emblazoned on the back of each shirt.

Tebow got traded to the New York Jets, but was asked rather forcefully to find housing in New Jersey, away from the bright lights and crazed media of New York City.

About the same time there was plenty of NFL news coming from our Lone Star State as the Dallas Cowboys had $10 million of salary cap space stripped and the Houston Texans lost eight players that helped them get to their first ever NFL playoff game.

Four of the players--outside

linebacker Mario Williams (Buffalo Bills), tight end Joel Dreessen (Denver Broncos), guard Mike Brisiel (Oakland Raiders) and cornerback Jason Allen (Cincinnati Bengals)— left for better deals via free agency. Linebacker DeMeco Ryans was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles for some draft picks.

The Texans had to waive offensive tackle Eric Winston, fullback Lawrence Vickers and backup quarterback Matt Leinart for salary cap purposes. Winston signed with the Kansas City Chiefs while Vickers was snapped up by the Dallas Cowboys. Leinart hasn’t signed with another team.

Over the last few seasons the Texans had been stockpiling

depth, and those non-starters filled in very nicely when several of the regulars went down with injuries last season.

But with so many regulars now gone, these players are inheriting starting jobs, forcing the team to replenish their depth via the upcoming draft and free agency after the draft.

Last week’s March Madness was about to reveal which teams would be playing in the Final Four at New Orleans this weekend when the golf fans were distracted because it appeared that Tiger Woods regained his magic that had him as the world’s No. 1 golfer for so many years.

ishments for players.

“Before I make any decisions, I would like to hear from the players,” Goodell said Monday at the football league’s annual meeting in Florida.

Goodell would not give a timetable of when the punishments would come, saying he wanted to talk to the NFL Players Association first.

The Saints won the Super Bowl in 2010, in the midst of the bounty program.

Payton said he is concerned the scandal may “tarnish the success we’ve had.”

Goodell has said the “payfor-performance” program “undermined the integrity of the game.”

A statement last week from the NFL on the website NFL. com added that the violations “were compounded by the failure of Coach Payton to supervise the players and coaches and his affirmative decision starting in 2010 (a) not to inquire into the facts concern-

ing the pay-for-performance/ bounty program even though he was aware of the league’s inquiries both in 2010 and 2012; (b) to falsely deny that the program existed; (c) to encourage the false denials by instructing assistants to ‘make sure our ducks are in a row;’ and (d) to ignore instructions from the league office and club ownership to ensure that no such program existed.”

“When interviewed in 2012, Sean Payton claimed to be entirely unaware of the program, a claim contradicted by others,” the statement said. “Further, prior to the Saints’ opening game in 2011, Coach Payton received an email from a close associate that stated in part, ‘PS Greg Williams put me down for $5000 on Rogers (sic).’ When shown the email during the course of the investigation, Coach Payton stated that it referred to a ‘bounty’ on Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers.”

Colburn: Sabine Lake fishing Cove.

While it was absolutely self indulging, I figured if the boat went down and we didn’t make it, the Good Lord might let me slip in as some part of a package deal. You can do worse than getting in line with a Pastor!

We did indeed make it and spent most of the morning catching trout, redfish and flounder while surfing across one small flat over and over.

Eric caught a personal best trout that nearly made the sixpound mark and we finished with a good box of solid fish.

The highlight of the day, however, was one that would cause even the most ardent non-believer to possibly rethink his position regarding the hereafter and it occurred just prior to making the dreaded return trip. Pastor Sanders had no idea that I was simply running up closer to the bank to stop in protected water and tie everything back down when he stated, “I have a really good feeling about this spot.”

What would you have done following that unsolicited statement? I picked up a rod and made a long cast with a Swim Bait that was immediately inhaled by the largest redfish of the day. So all of a

Pastor Fred Sanders and son, Eric, caught fish in a gale!

sudden, here’s the deal. Sixty plus years of Sunday school lessons, more specifically the one when Jesus suggested fishing on the other side of the boat, suddenly got a whole lot more credible!

I am not inferring that Pastor Sanders is any better connected than any other Pastor, but that was no less impressive than Babe Ruth pointing to the center field wall and calling his infamous home run.

The Pastor is currently sharing the word at Orangefield United Pentecostal Church on Hwy 105 across from the elementary school and he says

The weather for the past six days has been incredibly fishermen-friendly. Fog has been a minor problem early, but running the ICW and river slowly is a good idea right now anyway as there is a lot of floating debris washing out of the bayous and down the river. Do not assume that you can see it from a safe distance as many of the larger logs and timbers are floating just beneath the surface.

went into Sunday’s final round leading the field by a single stroke. Probably as many golf enthusiasts turned their attention to the Arnold Palmer Invitational because it was one of Tiger’s favorite tournaments at Orlando’s Bay Hill golf course where he has done so well over the years.

The other half of those watching the final round was expecting another one of Tiger’s now-famous collapses. Regardless, there were more television sets tuned into the golf than the two games that would determine the Final Four survivors.

Tiger started Sunday’s final round strong by getting three birdies on the first five holes, while those closest to him after three rounds got off to bad bogey-infested starts. His lead swelled to three and then four strokes over his playing partner Graeme McDowell.

The 36-year-old Tiger Woods avoided the trouble that seemed to always crop up in previous tournaments where he got off to good starts. He had gone 923 days and 27 tour events since his last tourney win, but Tiger ended up beating McDowell by a whopping five strokes.

“It’s not like winning a major championship or anything,” Tiger told the Associated Press after finishing his final round at two-under-par 70. “But it certainly feels really good.”

Those sports fans that didn’t care to watch Tiger’s comeback and stuck with the two Elite Eight contests Sunday afternoon watched the Baylor Bears get overwhelmed by top-seeded Kentucky 82-70 in a game that wasn’t as close as the final score indicated and Kansas upset No. 1-seeded North Carolina 80-67.

The smaller drains on the Louisiana side as well as the canals in the Game reserve are yielding good catches of flounder and reds as well.

The joint was jumping last week as “The All New Original Tribute to the Blues Brothers” took to the stage at the Lutcher Theater in Orange.

Written and directed by Brad Henshaw, the show gives a definite nod to the original Blues Brothers movie. Henshaw, who plays Jake Blues, the character created by John Belushi, clearly channeled Belushi when he put the show together. The crowd was cheering and clapping to the music in great delight to classic blues and rock tunes such as “Everybody Needs Somebody,” “Gimme Some Loving,” “Shake a Tail Feather,” “Do You Love Me?” and “Jailhouse Rock.”

Elwood Blues was played by Daniel Fletcher. He has clearly studied Dan Aykroyd in the part, because some of the time his voice, speaking and singing, was almost indistinguishable from Aykroyd.

The show also contained all the signature Blues Brothers

Bigger baits can lead to big time action OUTDOORS WEEKLY CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE

For The Record

During the spring and summer months when the weather gets nice and everybody gets the fishing fever, I get lots of families that like to fish without a whole lot of effort. Times like these mean drifting live bait and just having a good time. I personally would rather use artificial lures when I fish, but if it makes life easier and folks get to enjoy more about the sport of fishing I am all for it.

While pre-fishing for some clients who would be bringing their children I decided to see what kind of program I could get going on live bait. As I retrieved my castnet I could feel that familiar shake of fish trapped in the monofilament, several large mullet that would be suitable for the taxidermist along with some of those smaller 4” models were doing all the shaking as I emptied the contents into a bait bucket. Several more throws and some selective culling sent me on my way in search of hungry speckled trout patrolling the vast open waters of Sabine Lake.

After a leisurely run out into what basically is the middle of the lake I began see several feeding slicks and enough active baitfish to convince me that this would be a good place to start.

The surface of the water had a gentle ripple that was compliments of an easy southeast wind that just an hour earlier had been howling as an afternoon thunderstorm crossed the lake and left the area feeling as it were recharged with life.

Peering into my livewell in search of that perfect bait I had not realized how large most of

dance moves which had the crowd howling.

The Bluettes, Jocasta Almgill, Victoria Ekanoye, and Victoria Goddard, all had strong voices and each was able to showcase their vocals in a featured song.

Luke Jasztal played several characters including the minister and gave a nod to Cab Calloway in Minnie the Moocher.

The band was also awesome and deserves a mention.

Vickie and Tom Foreman were at the show with friends.

“It was great,” said Vickie. “It brought me back to Joe Bailey’s, the Circle Club and the Pelican.performers could sing, dance and were funny.” Vickie said she was still dancing in her head the next morning.

“It was great,” seemed to be the common comment. That sentiment was shared by Carlton “Corky” Harmon who attended the show with wife Betty and Commissioner David Dubose.

the mullet that I had caught were, picking out my first offering all I could think was “big bait equals big fish”. Soon after rigging the mullet under a standard popping cork rig I began to wonder what I was doing fishing with such large bait when I was startled by a vicious strike, a trout of about 18” was soon brought to the boat with my 5”mullet in his mouth.

As I compared the size of the bait to the size of this aggressive trout I could not help but be amazed, this reassurance was all I needed to make me feel much more confident about using these larger baits. I quickly rigged another mullet and set him on a drift behind the boat, I soon recalled reading about a huge 12 pound trout that was caught in Matagorda or the Laguna Madre that upon inspection had a 14”mullet in its belly. Talk about big bait and big fish.

I fished in several different spots and made plenty of drifts that resulted in some excellent trout, the two largest fish were 28”long and are still out there swimming as they were released to fight another day. Each and every strike was violent and exciting as one quality fish after another would attack these baits like with a vengeance. On several occasions the strike was preceded by the mullet wildly swimming on top of the water trying its best to avoid a trout or redfish that was sizing up dinner.

Besides the fact that 75% of the fish I caught were really quality fish, by using the larger baits it cut down on the amount gafftops and hardheads that I had to deal with, this is a major plus in my book. I did on occasion use a small shad just to see what kind of difference it made on the quality of fish that were caught, the catfish ate up the shad if a trout did not beat them to the bait.

The next time you head out in the lake to do some drifting with live bait you should experi-

It would surprise most anglers to see just how big of a bait that some fish like this upper end slot red will actually eat.

ment with different sizes and see what happens. These larger baits may not get as many strikes as some smaller offerings but the fish that do strike will usually be a much better fish. Already this year some great redfish and speckled trout have been taken on live bait and some big jacks have run off with some unat-

tended rods. That big bait might just be the ticket for your fish of a lifetime.

If live bait is not your style don’t hold it against your fellow fisherman who uses bait, we have enough people out there trying to spoil the outdoors for us and goodness knows we don’t need to fight each other.
