WILLIAMS The mother of the victim, Toni Harding, was the first to take the stand.

She testified she noticed her son’’s behavior had changed and he began having problems at school and was getting into fights. Harding stated her son later told her of the alleged incidents to which she took him to the Orange Police Department to give a statement.

Harding broke down and sobbed when she told jurors her family felt forced to move from the area after the news of the allegations “got out.” The family fled for their safety.

Kree-m rises to the top Debby Schamber For The Record

Southeast Texas native, Kree Harrison, 22, has kept her word and is definitely “in it to win it” with only two contestants remaining on the 12th season of the popular TV show American Idol.

HARRISON Harrison was in the top three when Angie Miller, 19, of Beverly, Mass. was eliminated because of having the fewest votes. Now, Harrison will compete with Candace Glover, 23, of St. Helena Island, S.C. for the top prize of a recording contract.

With her upcoming birthday next week, a win would certainly be a gift that keeps on giving.

“Kree is very excited,” said Beverly Mire, Kree’s grandmother, about the finals.

Harrison who lived in Woodville as a young girl, had becoming a star on her mind from the start. Harrison began performing at an early age when she was three years old.

As a young girl, she performed at the Jasper Lion’s Club rodeo

National Police Week honors those lost in the line of duty

Three OPD officers killed over the decades Debby Schamber For The Record

This week across the country police are taking time to reflect on their fellow brethren who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy proclaimed May 15th as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15th falls, as National Police Week. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others.

In Orange, there have been three officers with the Orange Police Department who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

They are Johnny Godwin, Ed O’Reilly and Danny Gray.

The Orange Police Department was formed in August 1914.

Citizens had voted for a new city charter and had the authority from the state to set ordinances. Orange was formerly Madison, but when Texas became part of the United States in 1849, the state legislature renamed the town Orange.

However, Orange did not go without law enforcement from the early days until 1914. In the early days, records reflect the local sheriff ran the town with the help of local citizens.

Orange was fist settled in the 1830s and had a reputation for being a “rough town.” Initially, the town had its’ share of lumberjacks, ship-builders, sawmill workers and industrial workers who for the most part, like to drink and gamble. These kind of activities often lead to problems such as fighting and other violence. This continued through the 1960s when drug related problems reared their ugly head and burglaries, thefts and robberies continued to escalate.

Before the 1890s, justice did not always involve a courtroom.

Some criminals met their fate with “Judge Lynch.”

Angry mobs would sometimes hang criminals by the neck on the long reaching limbs of the “hanging tree.” The tree was a large oak tree located at the corner of Fourth and Front Streets.

According to history reports, the mobs would shoot at the tree while the body of criminal swung from the tree. The tree is said to have died over the years from “lead poisoning” from all the bullets which had been sprayed by the lynchers.

The city jail at the time was close to the tree. They were called “calabooses” and were first built in August 1892. They were small, wooden buildings on piers near the banks of the Sabine River where Ochiltree Park is currently located. Until the 1945, calabooses remained as the local jails.

By the end of 1914, the Board of City Commissioners passed their first ordinance which referred to regulating the traffic and passage on the streets. The maximum speed limit was 12 mph and drivers were not allowed to turn a corner faster than 6 mph, whether in a motorized vehicle or horse and buggy.

The salary for police officers in 1918 was $100 per month but a year later, their salary would increase $25.

By 1929, they would have their first vehicle. For $600 a five passenger Chevrolet “touring car” was purchased.

Commissioners, during their meetings in 1929 talked of the necessity of a “steel cage” for criminals, but the stock market crash and the Great Depression would strike. They would have to wait many more years.

In August 1945, city leaders finally got what they had wanted when the carriage house behind the building which is where the Orange City hall is currently located, became the city jail and steel bars were installed.

The first officer to be killed in the line of duty in Orange was Police Chief Ed O’Reilly.

The young O’Reilly began his life in Orange by working at the shipyards. He left to join the war efforts by enlisting in the Navy.

According to archives, following his return from the war, he worked as a special officer for a refining company and the railroad before being called to work as a police officer.

O’Reilly also made two unsuccessful attempts at running for sheriff. However, on June 8, 1931, he was appointed to the local police force. Just over a year later, he was appointed as the new police chief and took office in August 1932.

During this time period, he was essentially the police force

during the day. There two officers assigned to night duty.

The first issue he faced was the growing traffic problems. But, this would only be the one of many problems to come.

The First Baptist Church pastor, Reverend Edgar Eskridge had baptized O’Reilly two years before the murder, but would also be the person who would later kill him even though the two were thought to be good friends. The pair had worked together on law enforcement matters and had even traveled together.

But, the reverend developed a different agenda and began carrying guns to the pulpit. Eskridge was also telling the locals he was a commissioned law enforcement officer with Newton County. Eskridge, with guns blazing, vowed to clean up the crime in Orange and not just from his one-of-a-kind sermons.

Eskridge went as far as to conduct a raid on the Silver Slipper in Prairie View, now known as Bridge City. The infamous supper club had mirrors on the walls and fancy linens on the tables which catered to gamblers.

According to historians, Eskridge brandished a “Ranger’s badge” and was accompanied by a small group of men during the raid.

Within a few hours, Eskridge would be at the pulpit in front of his congregation vowing their would be violence in the city “very soon.”

Tension continued to build and Eskridge was quickly becoming a controversial figure in town. O’Reilly was forced to disarm the pastor who many believed was dangerous and out of control.

O’Reilly had learned the preacher was not a commissioned officer and therefore he was arrested for impersonating an officer.

O’Reilly took Eskridge before a judge, but he released him because of his position in the community.

Church members and people around town talked about the fact Eskridge seemed upset and agitated. A local gas station attendant who knew Eskridge reported he could tell, “there was going to be trouble.”

O’Reilly was standing outside the Ingram Cafe on May 29, 1935, located on the southwest corner of Fifth and Main Streets, which is now the Lutcher Theater parking lot. He was talking to a friend when Eskridge drove by and shot at the police chief.

O’Reilly had just celebrated his 41st birthday a few days before when the buckshot pierced his skull and he died.

A short while later, Eskridge, in his tan Oldsmobile coupe went up Green Avenue and crossed the Sabine River Bridge to where he would surrender to Beauregard Parish officers in Deridder, La. The congregation of the First Baptist Church met that night to draw up resolutions of condolence to O’Reilly’s wife and daughter. They also prepared an expression of sympathy for Mrs. Eskridge.

Funeral services for O’Reilly were held the following day at his residence located at 808 15th Street.

Eskridge was held in jail until his trial which had been moved to Houston on a change of venue. In June 1936, he was found guilty of murder. He was sentenced to five years in prison. However, he was released from prison after onl y serving three years and 10 months of his sentence.

The city commission met May 31 to appoint John D. Godwin Jr., 31 years old, as acting police chief. But, less than four months later, he too would be killed in the line of duty.

Godwin was born in 1904 in Louisiana, but lived most of his life in Orange. He was said to be “everyone’s friend.”

In the early years, he worked for a local produce company making deliveries. By 1924 Godwin took a job working for an oil company in the geophysical department. This job required travel. He married the love of his life, Robbie, in 1926 and really began to miss Orange. They later had two children.

Godwin joined the Orange police department as a night policeman. He had only been on the force two months when he was promoted to acting police chief.

Godwin had just dropped off his family at their house on 7th Street when a chain of events would lead to his death. He was with another officer, George LaFitte, when they received information about two fugitives who had assaulted a cab driver before stealing his cab. At about 9:30 p.m., they spotted what they believed to be the stolen cab. The vehicle was driven by Cylde Dawson and the passenger was B.F. Thompson. The officers stopped the cab on Green Avenue between 3rd and 4th Streets.

Lafitte had his shotgun pointed at Thompson while Godwin confronted Dawson. The events what happened next are unclear, but Godwin was shot in the abdomen. Godwin was transferred to the local hospital where he died the following day.

He was buried at the foot of the gravesite where O’Reilly was buried just months before.

Dawson fled the scene and kidnapped two local people before being apprehended in Louisiana. He was sentenced to life in prison on October 5, 1935.

In 2001, Godwin’s name was submitted to the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer’s memorial and to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C. along with the other officers who were killed in the line of duty.

The photographs of the three officers who will killed in the line of duty in Orange, now proudly hang in the lobby of the Orange Police Department to be seen by all visitors.

Editor’s Note: Part two of this story and the life of the third officer, Danny Gray, who was killed in the line of duty will run in the May 22 edition.

Inez Turner of Orange turns 104 Friday Penny Leleux For The Record

Born May 17, 1909, Inez Turner has seen a few things in her lifetime though she doesn’t remember them all.

“My memory isn’t good and I can’t hear,” she said. “I’ve got hearing aids, but they don’t seem to do much good.” Other than that, her mind is clear and she is in good health. Friday, Turner turns 104.

“If I make it,” she said, smiling. “You never can tell. I’m hoping, but you never know.”

Her son is throwing her a birthday party Saturday at Optimist Village, where she lives. “I just wanted to go eat somewhere,” said Turner.

She didn’t want him to go to any fuss, but he insisted he wanted a party where she could visit with her friends. “He wanted to do something special for my last birthday,” she said.

Her health is actually better than

many in their 80s and 90s. She gets around without a walker and still goes to local events when she has a ride, because she no longer drives.

Last week she was awarded the prize for the oldest female at the yearly Senior Citizen Rally Days.

“I got a gift certificate,” she said.

Wondering what she has done to live so long a woman once asked her “Do you eat a lot of vegetables?”

“No,” she said. Her answer to the woman on the longevity was, “The good Lord just hasn’t been ready for me.”

“I was born in Patroon, Texas, that’s out from Center in Shelby County,” said Turner. Her parents were Elzie and Lou Matlock. She had five younger sisters, but they have already passed. She is the only one left.

“Still here,” she said.

Turner has one son, Roy Ballard, 59, one granddaughter and one great-grandson.

When Turner was born, most

homes, including hers did not have modern conveniences such as electricity, indoor plumbing or air conditioning.

Tu r n e r INEZ TURNER doesn’t remember when they got an indoor toilet or she first saw a lit light bulb, but she said it was exciting. They used kerosene lamps for lighting and had an outhouse when growing up. They didn’t have a car either.

“My dad had a surrey,” she said, referring to a horse drawn carriage.

She came to Orange during World War II in 1943 and has lived in Orange ever since.

William Howard Taft was presi-

Kree Harrison American Idol and area ball parks singing the National Anthem. She also attended Bridge City schools before making her way to Nashville.

“I think she is a good representative of Southeast Texas,” Mire said.

Harrison loves Texas and is a compassionate person who always thinks of others, Mire added.

During a recent press conference, Harrison said it is the fast paced lifestyle of being on American Idol which is “difficult” but feels in the end it will all be worth it. Harrison not only has the grueling time crunch on her practices before the next show, but also makes public appearances. Going to a children’s hospital was one of her favorite things to do outside of performing.

“It’s such a big step in your life to do something like this,” Harrison said.

When asked if it was everything she ever dreamed of, she replied, it is a lot more than she ever thought.

“To be able to do this for the rest of my life would be like living a dream,” she said.

Harrison was 14 years old when she wrote her first song, “Bring Me Sunshine.”

One of her biggest moments on American Idol, according to Harrison, was when she connected to the lyrics of the song, “See You Again.”

Harrison’s genre is typically

country music, even though she can belt out a mean blues melody. However, country singers have proven to do well in singing competitions. Others who lead the way have been Carrie Underwood, Scott McCreery and Tate Stevens from the X Factor.

During the finals this Wednesday, Harrison will have the continued strong support of her family, brothers Corey Harrison and Michael Johnson, her sister, Lacey Bruce and her grandmother, who will all be in attendance.

Mire said she is “so proud”

of Kree and hopes the fans will continue to vote for her so she can win.

Her Aunt Penny Harrison will not be at the show in Los Angeles, California, but instead will host a party from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday for the American Idol results show. The party will be at the Boudain Hut, located at 5714 Gulfway Drive in Port Arthur.

“We are all excited,” Penny Harrison said. “I think she is going to win it.”

Penny Harrison said if Kree should win, she thinks the fame would not taint the rising star and she would remain

Williams trial begins The victim also took the stand. He is now 18 years old.

At times he also broke down and cried.

However, he began his testimony by telling jurors how he met the defendant. He recalled meeting Williams at his aunt’s house. Later, the same day, the defendant reportedly asked the victim and two other teens to join him across the street in his vehicle.

The victim said Williams showed the boys pornography from a laptop computer. They all agreed to be paid for performing sexual acts on themselves while Williams also performed sexual acts on himself. At first, the victim said he was embarrassed, but when the others participated, he decided to join in.

After they were done, they went back into the house, “like nothing happened.”

Incidents such as this continued, but for the most part the victim participated in the acts alone with Williams and was paid “most” of the time.

The alleged incidents stopped when Williams reportedly wanted to take the actions a step further, according to court testimony.

However, the victim stated several times, the defendant “never” touched him and he “never” touched Willams.

At one point during cross examination by the defen-

dant’s attorney, Joe Alford, the victim became agitated and said he was embarrassed to be talking about the case in front of everybody. His eyes filled with tears.

‘I don’t even want to do this anymore,” he said. “I don’t have any reason to lie on this man. But, he didn’t have any right to do what he did.”

When asked about his statement to police and asked why it was different than what he was stating on the stand, he replied he was telling everything to the best of his ability, but that he couldn’t remember everything.

He also told the jury, Williams was a trusted person in the family since he was told them he was a police officer in Louisiana.

The victim further told jurors he didn’t tell the entire story to the officer who took the statement at OPD. “I just told him what I wanted him to know,” he said.

The victim would later add, he sometimes would smoke marijuana with his friends while standing outside. The defendant would sometimes pick him up from outside his house and take drives with him around Orange and parts of Louisiana.

The victim stated repeatedly he was telling the truth on the stand.

“If they don’t believe me, he

dent of the United State of America when she was born. She has seen 18 presidents come and go. Kennedy was her favorite.

“This one’s okay too,” she said referring to Barack Obama. She hasn’t voted in several years because she no longer drives.

She did still drive when she first moved into Optimist Village in 2006. Darlene Wissing, the administrator at Optimist Village said every time it rained, Turner was downstairs with a towel drying off her car as soon as the rain stopped, to keep it clean. “It was hilarious.

You’d see her wiping that car down.”

Wissing said she doesn’t remember exactly when Turner stopped driving. “She was way up in her 90s when she went to get an ID card and they let her take the eye test. They gave her a driver’s license for another six years.” Wissing said her family made her stop driving several years ago.

Turner still attends Mount Zion

Baptist Church in Orange, when her son has a Sunday off and takes her. Turner said she gets to go about twice a month.

Gospel is her favorite type of music.

Wissing said every morning Turner’s son is off work, he brings her breakfast; “Isn’t that precious.

He’s really good to her. She’s a fine lady.”

“Mrs. Turner is such a kind person. She has a smile for everybody and is always kind to everybody. She never says anything harsh about anybody else. She is just a wonderful resident at Optimist Village,” said Wissing.

These days, Turner spends most of her time watching TV and visiting with friends in the lobby of her building, with an occasional nap thrown in. Saturday, her 104th birthday will be celebrated with friends and family in the community room of the apartment complex.

Penny Harrison will bring her favorite “good luck charm” to the party which is a guitar owned by her niece. The guitar, lovingly name “Julie” has been left behind by Kree so she can play it during her visits. The guitar is donned with a wig and sunglasses in honor of Kree. Penny Harrison has hosted weekly parties with friends and family to see Kree perform. She sent a picture to Kree in the form of a text to which she replied that she thought it was “funny.”

“Anybody that wants to come is welcome,’ Penny Harrison said. “Be there or be square.”

It is the hopes of her family and friends in Southeast Texas, she will go far and win American Idol.

A LONGHORN VISIT WITH COTTON Well, most of the time Creaux and I are held hostage in this Creaux’s Nest. About once a year we go to Buna for a breath of fresh air. This Monday we decided to change directions and chose to go spend a good part of the day with longtime friend, Ray Cotton, at the Longhorn. I had heard Ray and Dorothy had sold their Twin River Ranch and home in Natchitoches, over 2500 acres, livestock and equipment. The ranch was once used in a movie, a real showplace. Ray and Tina, his daughter, have a lot going on at the Longhorn location. I never realized how many racing horse stalls and training facilities they have, also long canals for horses to swim in for exercise. The restaurant food is great with an all new menu. It is well worth the drive, for me it sure was cause Ray paid. I met with a couple of nice folks. Gabrielle “Gabby” Saucier, who I believe is kinfolks to the Dayle, Chris and Cindy Gunn bunch. Jeff McCarson has been brought in to revive the Longhorn Club. Starting this week, Jeff has put a package together featuring Zydeco’s best, Chris Ardoin, Friday night. An end of semester carnival will be held Saturday, with over $1000 in cash and prizes and much more. For a couple of hours I heard some of Ray Cotton’s stories. He is living a colorful life and his 83-years don’t stop him from living every day to its fullest. One of 15 children, way back when a penny candy was hard to come by, has made Ray appreciative for everything he has but mostly thankful for his good health. Ray’s latest project will be the largest, nicest, state-of-the-art bingo hall, Cotton’s, due to open in June. It will seat 600 people at six foot tables.

I was amazed at all the new technology. It will be cooled by 100 tons of air conditioning. It will also have large, modern rest rooms, with the latest sprinkler system and many door outlets. It’s something to see. A $2.5 million structure right here at home, ten miles away. We will feature more on this later but I’d best get t o work. Thanks to Ray for the nice day. Come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm.

KREE REACHES FOR GOLD RING This weeks performance on American Idol could make Kree Harrison America’s darling. It’s been a long haul that started out with 100,000 contestants from throughout the country and is down to the final two. She and Candice Glover compete on the final show Wednesday night. One will become American Idol and winner of a one million dollar recording contract. Angie Miller was eliminated last week, leaving Kree to take head on Glover for the big prize.

Glover has appeared to be a favorite of the judges, consisting of Randy Jackson, who has been with Idol all of the shows twelve years. Jackson has announced this week’s show will be his last. “Dawg” is getting out of Dodge. Some speculate that all of the judges will be replaced next season, if there is a next season. The show has come down from a high of 30 million viewers, to a mere 14 million. Other judges are Keith Urban, Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj. The two ladies have been feuding, which Urban calls awful and poisonous. Week after week, public voters have kept Kree in the mix. MTV made her an early favorite to win it all. Last week, the Vegas odd makers made Candice and Kree the favorites to compete in the finale. We picked Kree when she made the top 10 to be in the top three and then win it all. A lot of factors are in play. Song choice is very important. Glover does a great job and will surely be a big star. She can hit all the notes but I find much of it sounds alike. On the other hand, Kree has a superior voice that has been unmatched throughout the competition. For either girl to win nothing can go wrong, such as a cold, tired voice or forgetting the words of a song. They are both very close in talent and a bobble by either will likely cost the grand prize. I predict Kree will be the next American Idol. If that happens no one will be any happier than her grandfather Wilson Roberts. Kree’s mom Kathy was his only child that he lost in an auto accident.

Wilson says, “Kathy knew, before she died, that her daughter was blessed with great talent and someday she would be a star because of her voice.” Regardless of this week’s outcome, I agree that Kree is a star in the making.

Our condolences to his parents, sisters, Mandy and Casey, brothers Cameron and Mason and grandparents Coleen and Johnny James and their families. May he rest in peace.*****Bravely, strength and integrity certainly runs in the family of Pct. #3 Judge Janice Menard. It was her grandson, firefighter Chris Harvey, that rescued Dalton Ivy from the Hwy. 87 canal. Dalton suffered a cut on his arm and said had it not been for Chris, he would not be alive. We apologize for this story in the Penny Record not being jumped, however it did get a lot of play on our website.*****Our friend and one of the great guys, Robert Ewing, had surgery this week in Houston. Robert has been in poor health for sometime and has been reduced to a wheelchair. Robert is optimistic that the next surgery will relieve much of his problems. Our best wishes.*****Political advocate Jerry Wilson is taking great care of his wife, Judy, after her recent surgery on a pinched nerve. However, he still finds time to stay active in politics.*****The economy and stock market takes off. The United States is on the verge of a big boom. We need to pass the jobs bill that would be the icing on the cake. The Dow goes over 15,200. Before the last election, the fear mongers were shouting that a recession was on the way.*****The odd couple: We spotted Al Deroche and Dwight Thacker having Mother’s Day lunch together at Market Basket.

They’ll come out and spray and guarantee you will be Skeeter free.*****There wasn’t many surprises in last weeks local election. Some folks were surprised that the citizens of Orange retired city councilman Cullen Smith. It didn’t surprise me and Creaux. Voters take a hard look at office holders who tend to be extreme or radical.*****It looks like any hope for Medicaid expansion in Texas is going down the drain. Gov. Rick Perry chose to spend $18 billion Texas tax dollars rather than take $100 billion from the federal matching funds. Besides the poor, those who will be affected the most are doctors, hospitals and nursing homes. Republican governors in other states have found it would be irresponsible not to expand Medicaid, knowing that Obamacare is coming, like it or not. Texan’s who could be covered under Medicaid will be uninsured because Perry wants to make another run for the presidency. His no new tax policy has raised every fee in the state double and triple in last four years, but Perry can claim “No New Taxes.” Fees don’t count. A drivers license alone is going up $15. Go figure.*****The Wednesday Lunch Bunch will dine at Novrozsky’s this week. Last week, Shirley Zimmerman was absent. She flew home to be with her dad who was in the hospital after suffering heart problems. Mayor T.W. Permenter and Lyndia took brother-in-law on a trip to the Hill Country; Judge Thibodeaux was at a Galveston meeting and Don Shockley and Phillip Welch had their on thing going. Chief Jerry Wimberly was in good spirits and is taking his cancer treatments and plugging right along. Next week the Bunch will meet at Robert’s. Everyone is always welcome.*****Congrats to Kacey LeBlanc, senior at Orangefield High, who will be signing to play volleyball at San Jacinto Community College.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Otis Boudreaux died him, so his longtime wife Marie went to da Daily Advertiser Newspaper to put a notice in da obituaries.

Calvin Premeaux was working da counter and after offering his condolences he axe Marie wat she would like to say about Boudreaux.

Marie replied, “Jus put dat Boudreaux died.”

Premeaux was somewat perplexed. He said, “Dat’s it?”

“Jus Boudreaux died, surely Miss Marie, dere must be something more you’d like to say about Boudreaux.” “If it’s money you’re worried about, da first five words are free. We must say something more.”

Marie her, tink aout dat for a while and finally she say, “Okay, you put, ‘Boudreaux died. Boat for sale.’”

C’EST TOUT Well, even Ned, in the First Grade Primer, is smart enough to see through the partisan Benghazi flack. It’s to put an albatross around Secretary Hillary Clinton’s neck in case she makes the run for president in 2016. Raising questions now takes the momentum off of weapons background checks and immigration, two issues Republicans would rather avoid. After 25 hearings, it gets to be a witch hunt. What I disagree with is putting ambassadors in hostile countries. Over the years, through every president, we have lost many embassy employees. The four in Benghazi are just the latest, 122 were lost under Ronald Reagan’s watch, many others under Clinton and the two Bushes.’

Everything in politics is calculated and right now the talking points are aimed at Hillary, who is the target since they can’t hurt Obama. The issue will fade soon but will return in 2016.*****I tried to have a little something for everyone in this column but there’s a lot of good copy in these pages.

Read us cover to cover. Thanks for your time and loyalty.

Take care and God bless.

Stark Museum to host book discussion of Bless Me, Ultima

The Stark Museum of Art, located at 712 Green Avenue in Orange, Texas, will host a Book Discussion of Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 18, 2013. Organized in relation to the Museum’s exhibition Wild Beauty: The New Mexico Setting and to the Southeast Texas Big Read program, this event offers the public an opportunity to discuss the novel while looking at the paintings by Southwestern artists that feature New Mexico as the subject matter. The Book Discussion program is included with regular admission to the Museum. For more information, call 409.886.ARTS (2787) or visit www.starkmuseum.org.

Elena Ivanova, the Museum’s Chief Educator, will lead the discussion and will provide insights into the book for those not familiar with it. For greater participation, attendees are encouraged to read the book in advance and review discussion questions on the Museum’s website. Questions are available online by clicking the Events tab and viewing the Wild Beauty page.

Information about the content of the book also is available on the National Endowment for the Arts website at http://www. neabigread.org/books/blessmeultima/readers02.php. Book discussion participants will have a chance to win a door prize: a southwestern potted plant grown by horticulturalists at Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center.

This event is scheduled in celebration of International Museum Day, which is a special moment for the museum community.

Established by the International Council of Museums (ICOM) in 1977, International Museum Day encourages public awareness of the role of museums in the development of society. In 2012, more than 32,000 museums from 129 countries on five continents participated in the event. The theme for International Mu-

seum Day of 2013 is Museums (memory + creativity) = social change.

“The idea that a social change is fostered by memory and creativity strongly resonates with the theme of Bless Me, Ultima,” commented Ivanova. “The principal characters of the novel, old medicine woman, Ultima, and a 10-year old boy, Tony, epitomize the preservation of cultural legacy and the importance of searching for ‘one’s own truths’.”

Ivanova noted that the mission of museums is to also help people to build a better future by educating them about the past.

“The exhibition Wild Beauty is the Stark Museum’s tribute to Rudolfo Anaya’s seminal novel,” she said. “I am excited to hear what people from the community think about connections between the paintings by Southwestern artists and the book.”

Both the Book Discussion of Bless Me, Ultima and the exhibition Wild Beauty are events of the Southeast Texas Big Read.

The Big Read is a project of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), designed to revitalize the role of literature in American culture and to encourage citizens to read for pleasure and enlightenment. The Stark Museum of Art is a non-recipient partner.

Located at 712 Green Avenue in Orange, Texas, Stark Museum of Art is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Admission is free for STARK Cultural Venues members.

Admission fees for the Stark Museum of Art are $6.00 for adults; $5.00 for seniors (age 65 and up), students (with ID), and youth (age 10-17); $2.00 for children (age 4-9); and free for toddlers (age 3 and under). Group tours are available by advanced registration.

BRIDGE CITY ISD THANK YOU

BOARD MEMBERS!

Mrs. Moody and Mrs. LeLeaux’s fifth graders at Bridge City Intermediate are currently reading a novel based on the Civil War, Shades of Gray. In the story, the characters are excited to finally have butter again! In response to the novel, the class made their own homemade butter by shaking heavy whipping cream in small jars. The students were excited to make and taste their very own butter!

Bridge City Intermediate School Teacher Necey Mumbach, cancer survivor, was the winner or the Relay Raffle drawing of this beautiful quilt donated by Gina Cessac. Mrs. Mumbach generously gave the quilt to third grader Mattie Hoffman who on her own raised $450 for the American Cancer Society by selling bracelets, lemonade, and even running carnival games at the Relay for Life at Cardinal Stadium.

We are proud for all of their hard work and dedication to the cause.

Texas trout into French cuisine COLBURN-FISHING CAPT. DICKIE COLBURN FOR THE RECORD

Back in late December I was wading the north end of Big Lake (Calcasieu) with Lloyd Menard and we were catching trout just often enough to keep us in the water on a miserably cold day when he stated, “This is the one time of the year when our trout decide that they won’t eat anything, but Tex-Mex.” I didn’t respond to the seemingly off the wall statement as I was too cold to move closer just to endure another Cajun joke. It turned out, however, that he was not joking this time. His point was that for years Texas made baits like the Corky and Maniac Mullet have dominated the winter fishing on Calcasieu.

Paul Brown, the father of the most popular soft mullet imitation ever lobbed in front of a trophy trout has since retired to the shores of Calcasieu, but maintained his business for many years in Houston prior to selling out to MirrOlure. The Maniac Mullet is also produced only a short distance east of there.

I bring this up only because our trout here on Sabine have taken to favoring French cuisine of late. That is not to say that a world of plastic tails and several other makes of proven topwaters haven’t been lethal as well, but two lures with Cajun connections have made catching much easier for us over the past six weeks and they will only get better as we move into the summer months.

Students count down the days to summer fishing OUTDOORS CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE

FOR THE RECORD

For the majority of our area students summer is almost here and school has all but taken a backseat to everything else.

The much anticipated free days of summer are now upon us and it’s this time of the year that is tailor made for taking a youngster fishing. During the school year everyone is confined to schedules that only allow free time on the weekends, which coincidentally is when everyone else is free. The crowds are much larger on the weekends and who knows if the fish have figured out what Saturday and Sunday mean. It is awfully difficult to get the fish biting and your free time to happen at the same time.

With a wide-open calendar and a little bit of flexibility in schedules, parents can treat their kids to a great day on the water during this time of the year. Weather patterns begin to stabilize as the long summer season here in east Texas takes command.

Lighter winds mean more comfortable outings as well as plenty more options for places to fish. During the spring most fisherman are confined to areas that aren’t white capping so a large portion of our local waters tend to be “off limits” unless you can stand some rough seas.

Several seasonal programs come into play during this time of the year, which can really produce some super fishing. One of the more popular ways to catch fish is to use live bait, either under a cork or fished on the bottom. Fishing live bait on Sabine Lake means mostly throwing shad or mullet because they are much easier to come by. Occasionally live shrimp is available at area bait shops but you need to call to check on availability since supplies can vary from time to time. Most local anglers who throw live bait have become handy with a cast net in order to catch their bait; this can be a great way to get a kid involved.

I know I have spent several hours just explaining what different kinds of fish or other critters are to children on my boat during the last couple of years.

Another summer program that has come back into play this year is chasing schooling fish. Last year we had an unbelievable summer chasing flocks of gulls that were feeding on brown shrimp which were driven to the surface by schools of hungry trout and redfish and this year is no different. This wide open action is just what the doctor ordered when it comes to getting kids interested in the sport of fishing, lots of fish and very little

Colburn: Texas trout

From Page 1B

Egret lure saltwater line-up which is actually a part of Stanley Lures based in Huntington, Texas, but c’mon……the man behind the lure is Ken Chaumont, that’s Cajun enough, and regardless of how you spell it, Voodoo has more than a few ties to the mystique of a dark night in a Louisiana swamp.

The other lure that has been very good to us of late is the Swim bait in both the three and four inch versions. My early experiences with the Swim bait were not unlike the growing pains associated with switching to braided line. The benefits, however, were well worth suffering through the learning curve associated with both products.

I include the Swim bait as a Cajun lure only because I favor H & H’s Usual Suspect over the other brands that I have used and it is 100 percent Cajun. The folks at H & H lures in Baton Rouge are well known for making popular tails like the Cocahoe Minnow and Sparkle beetle over the years and, in my opinion, incorporated the best features of everything out there in their own Swim Bait.

Johnny Cormier and Adam Jaynes, both local guides, initially tweaked my interest in the Swim bait, but I was not as committed and struggled to catch fish with it early on. Fortunately, I stuck with it after Johnny pointed out that it works much better when you fish it the way it was designed to be fished.“It is a Swim Bait….swim it!”

That is tough to do for anyone that has been successfully bouncing tails off the bottom with clients for the past forty years. Not surprisingly, however, he was right on the money.

Aside from GULP, if that really qualifies as an artificial lure, there is now no more dependable lure in my arsenal year round than the three or four inch Swim bait.

I especially like not only the color selection, but the durability of the Usual Suspect as well. They are not so tough that I will subject them to the destructive fangs of throwback school trout, but they are pretty darn resilient and tend to attract larger fish.

The single biggest surprise for me in fishing both the three and four inch Usual Suspect has been how well it works on flounder.

You would think that continually swimming it would eliminate that bite, but that has not been the case. Pausing occasionally during the retrieve helps, but is not necessary most of the time.

The only problem common to every Swim Bait that I have fished is that every once in a while a bait does not swim correctly right out of the package. Sometimes it is a loose head inside the body and sometimes the tail will just not vibrate. My solution to that problem is to simply tie another one on and throw that one in the garbage when you get home!

I also think more so due to cost than any minor inconveniences, the average angler balks on giving braided line a fair chance, but there is no excuse for not adding the VuDu Shrimp and Usual Suspect to your starting line-up. Take advantage of those Texas trout with a hankering for a little French cuisine.

Chad Dallas knows what summer fishing is all about.

down time. If you happen to get in on some of that crazy action you will understand what I am talking about.

Whatever way you decide to chase fish this summer please be sure and take a kid along, they will always remember the trip.

Get some good information and ask questions so your time on the water can be as good as it possibly can. After all catching fish is just a small part of the game when you think about it, being with your kids and spending some quality time together is what it’s all about.

Also this summer don’t forget to sign up for the CCA S.T.A.R

tournament, especially if you bring the kids. Big prizes like trucks and boats are up for grabs along with some big time college scholarships for the young anglers. Anglers age 6-10 can compete for 50,000 dollar scholarships for catching the largest gafftop, sheepshead, or flounder in the state. Also anglers age 11-17 can also score a 20,000-dollar scholarship for the largest flounder, shepshead, or gafftop along with the largest speckled trout. The entry fees are minimal, just sign up to become a CCA member and you’re entered. For all the details and rules consult the CCA web site at www.ccatexas.org and take a kid fishing.

LCM students thank Granger Chevrolet Friday, May 3, the Little Cypress-Mauriceville High School Life Skills Class took its annual year-end trip. For over 20 years this trip has marked the culmination of the school year and the students have worked, selling cookies at lunch and cheese logs at Christmas, to earn funds for the excursion that is a life-lesson, not just a day away from campus.

This year’s adventure was to Galveston Island to visit the new Pleasure Pier, an amusement park built on the same location where the Flagship stood for many years. Twelve Life Skills students made the trip, as well as six regular education students who are part of the “Meet in the Middle” team, LCM High School’s nationally recognized Special Olympics program that, “… involves students of all ability levels in activities that empower them to serve as agents of change in their schools and communities.”

The students traveled in the comfort of a charter bus, thanks to the generosity of Al and Dean Granger of Granger Chevrolet, who covered transportation expenses for this annual adventure.

Granger Chevrolet’s staff met with the LCM Life Skills class to give them a great send off on their End of Year trip to Galveston’s Pleasure Pier.

Our retired teachers are very active volunteers in such places as the Orangefield Cormier Museum, Christmas bell ringers for the Salvation Army, Stark Museum, Shangri La Botanical Gardens, School projects such as Building Great Readers

at WOSE, local church group projects such as the First Presbyterian Soup Kitchen and Orange Christian Services, plus many other volunteer opportunities.

Currently our Orange County unit in conjunction with the State TRTA is working with the State Congress to assure the Teacher Retirement System Funding Level remains sound for today’s retirees and for all active teachers that retire for generations to come.

If you are a retired public school employee, you are invited to become an active member of the Orange County Retired Teachers Association and the TRTA. If you are a person who is interested in educational issues, such as a friend or a spouse of a member, you may join as an associate member. For more information contact Harvey Wilson at 886-4804.

The Local Unit meets at 11 a.m. every second Monday of the Month at the Wesley United Methodist Church, located at 401 N. 37th Street, Orange, Texas. Their next meeting is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 9.
