Detour set for Pine Bluff area culvert project David Ball

For The Record

Residents on Pine Bluff Road will not be stranded when culvert construction soon starts. The Orange County Commissioners’ Court approved authorizing County Judge Carl Thibodeaux to sign the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit for the construction of a temporary detour. The detour will be necessary while the culvert is being replaced on an unnamed tributary of the Sabine River on Pine Bluff Road. Clark Slacum, county engineer, said this is a Texas General Land Office project. Owen Burton, Precinct 2 commissioner, asked if this project would affect drainage because fill dirt will be added

to the tributary. Slacum said it would not affect drainage. Burton also asked how long the project will take to comSLACUM plete. Slacum answered a month or less and residents will be able to enter and exit their neighborhood. Commissioners also approved the Road & Bridge Department to utilize budgeted funds for the purchase of road building materials. Slacum said the project requires a chip-seal aggregate which also a GLO project. The GLO will reimburse the county dollar for dollar for expenses.

The materials will be stocked at the Orange County Airport at the site where the hold FEMA camps were housed for the hurricanes. Douglas Manning, assistant

county attorney, announced after closed session the county will negotiate in good faith in mediation for the Montano v. Orange County, Texas case in the United States District

Court for the Eastern District of Texas- Beaumont Division. Manning said he could not comment further because proceedings were headed to mediation.

OICD still mulling over security options David Ball

For The Record

The Orangefield Independent School District Board of Trustees are taking steps to make their campus more secure. The trustees met Monday night at a special meeting to discuss various issues including security measures, particularly in response to an act of vandalism last month. Dr. Stephen Patterson, school superintendent, reported he has received one bid from Ion Security Systems of Bridge City. He still hasn’t received bids from two other security companies. Patterson told the board, however, the bids were too high, or “outside the scope” of what was previously discussed. He couldn’t see placing the item on the next meeting agenda and they are exploring other options. The district is looking to install locking front doors with cameras and cameras on all exit doors, evenly spaced out for maximum coverage. The cost would be $25,000 to complete the junior high building and it would cost more than $120,000 for the high school’s gymnasium, 100 building, 200 building and 300 building. Shaun McAlpin, assistant

superintendent of finance, said the cameras would not be basic CCTV cameras, but motion activated cameras with their own PATTERSON servers and bandwidths. The need for cameras was made necessary when at 7:35 a.m. on Friday, June 20, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office deputies were told by an official with the Orangefield ISD that the Orangefield Junior High School building had been vandalized. Once deputies arrived, the custodial staff at the school reported they found different areas within the school had been ransacked and damaged. Deputies located open paint cans with the contents dumped on the floors and spread on some lockers in the main hall during the investigation. Several of the classrooms had paint, glue, and hand sanitizer spread on chairs and on the floors. A trophy was found broken in a locker room and food products were spread in areas throughout the school. GarORANGEFIELD Page 3A

“This nation tossed its cap over the wall of space and we have no choice but to follow it,” said John F. Kennedy, President of the United States, Nov. 21, 1963 at the Aerospace Medical Center in San Antonio. In 1961, there was a race to space. The participants were the United States and Russia, and both sides were determined to be the first. John Kennedy wanted to get a man on the moon and bring him back safely by the end of the decade. He didn’t live to see it. A sniper ended Kennedy’s life in Dallas, Texas, but the dream was already underway.

July 20, 1969, millions, including then President Richard Nixon, were listening to radio or watching TV when the voice of Astronaut Neil Armstrong cracked across the airwaves. “That’s one

small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” He had stepped off the lunar module with his left foot descending into history. He was standing on the surface of the moon. It wasn’t blue. It wasn’t green cheese. It was more like powdered charcoal and a magnificent desolation. Armstrong received numerous awards for his efforts, including the Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Space Medal of Honor. Orange County Judge Carl Thibodeaux remembers that day. He was working at Kelsey-Seybold in Houston. He completed pharmacy school one year earlier. “The other day I found an old Houston Chronicle and

Houston Post newspapers with the moon landing on it,” he said. “My wife was at home, sitting in the rocking chair and feeding our oldest child. She told me it was on TV,” Thibodeaux recollects. Though he missed the live shot, Thibodeaux saw the replays on the news. “Everybody was talking about it. It was exciting. President Kennedy was assassinated earlier and this was a way of rejuvenating the nation and belief in America again,” he said. “It helped the country and increased patriotism.” Many do not know that the moon landing almost didn’t MAN WALKS ON Page 3A

The Cow Bayou Swing Bridge project is on time and on target with less than a year to complete according to Sarah Dupre, Texas Department of Transportation public information officer. Dupre said work is currently being done in the fender system- an underwater guardrail that protects the bridge from boats ramming into it. Crews have also completed seven out of 12 deck spans which are the portions of the bridge driven on, she explained. “We will continue to replace the fender system and to have the deck spans poured,” Dupre said. Fifty percent of the turn mechanism has also been installed or ordered to make the machinery up to date. All four

lanes on the Cow Bayou Overpass Bridge bypassing the swing bridge are now open. One lane was closed during the July 4th holiday to repair a guardrail, causing traffic jams. It is scheduled to be completed in March 2015. In a prior Record article, it was reported phase two of the rehabilitation and historic preservation of the Cow Bayou Swing Bridge started on January 31, 2014. Texas Department of Transportation officials then made plans on future lane closures and re-routing traffic. The $9.5 million project will cover 0.991 miles and is scheduled to take 476 working days to complete. Workers will make repairs while keeping the bridge, the control building and other parts historically accurate. They will use new and the working old parts to restore the control desk while the new

building will mimic the original structure. The Cow Bayou Swing Bridge is one of only two remaining center pivot swing bridges of it’s kind remaining in Texas. It was named to the National

Register of Historic Places in 2010. The Rainbow Bridge was listed to the N.R. in 1996. It was history in the making when an estimated 3,000 people attended the 1941 dedication. The ribbon was cut by

Miriam David, the daughter of Julis H. David, Sr., the president of the Orange Chamber of Commerce. The Bengal Guards of Orange and the Red Hussars of Port Arthur, musical marching bands from the two high schools, marched towards the Cow Bayou Bridge from opposite directions and met in the center of the span for the ribbon cutting. The Rainbow Bridge, which was originally the Port ArthurOrange Bridge, was completed in 1938. The following year construction began on the ‘Cow Bayou Bridge’, a swing bridge with an electric motor.

Things I learned from my dog Caroline Brewton Columnist

For The Record

I spent the past week avoiding my Facebook feed. Currently making the rounds on social media is the story of Duke Roberts, a dog suffering terminal cancer. His owner and a photographer friend documented the last day of his life in a viral blog post that became a Buzzfeed article, which found its way to me finally, yesterday. I had resolved not to read it. I knew it would make me cry. I can’t handle dog stories. They are always tinged with the inevitability of loss. But after five friends reposted it, I gave in: masochism at its finest. The images in the article show Duke playing with friends, neighbors, his groomer. He eats hamburgers. He

plays in the water. And then his vet comes, and he dies. It’s beautiful and heartwarming. I bawled my eyes out. I’m terrified of losing my own dogs. As soon as I was good and upset, I went to find Willie, because that’s what I do. She was absolutely patient

about the infusion of blubbery Caroline hugs, which made me cry harder. They are so much better than us sometimes. How is it fair they get less time? The short answer: it’s not. But nothing is fair. That’s lesson number one of having a dog. It’s not fair, but you do it anyway — because the good things outweigh the bad. Some others: • Approach every day with the boundless enthusiasm • Be happy about little things. Like tennis balls. They really are miracles. • Accept your people in various states of unhappiness. If they need to cry on your shoulder, let ‘em. Let them talk. Let your reassuring silence lead them to their own conclusions. Let your support heal. • Even if they’ve hurt your feelings or you’re in a bad

mood, feel grateful to see the people you love walk through the door. •Smile at everybody. All the time. • Finally, don’t be so afraid of losing them that you waste the time you have. Don’t shy away from your dog, your sick relative, your elderly grandparents. Living with regret only increases the pain of loss. So in that spirit, I made Willie and I each a grilled ham-and-cheese sandwich and we ate them and sat outside and watched the sunshine fade: our own poignant moment. And I resolved not to think about what will come until I had to. And we were happy. And right now, that’s how our story ends.

Man walks on the moon

From Page 1

Korea, where he would fly 78 combat missions from the deck of the carrier USS Essex in a Grimman 11 Panther. He received the Air Medal and two Gold Stars. Armstrong remained with NASA, serving as deputy associate administrator for aeronautics until 1971. After leaving NASA, he joined the faculty of the University of Cincinnati as a professor of aerospace engineering. Armstrong remained at the university for eight years. Staying active in his field, he served as the chairman of Computing Technologies for Aviation, Inc., from 1982 to 1992. Armstrong underwent a heart bypass operation in August 2012. A few weeks later, on August 25, 2012, at the age of 82, Neil Armstrong died of complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures in Cincinnati, Ohio. Shortly after his death, his family released a statement: “For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink.”

happen. As Apollo II started to descend, Armstrong saw that there were boulders in the area of the planned automated landing. He had the option to abort the mission and return to Earth. He decided to try to land the craft manually. He found a small opening and set the craft down as prettily as if it had been planned. Later, it was revealed that there had been about 20 seconds left before Armstrong would have to abort the whole mission. The footprints are still there on the airless surface of the moon, clear as they were when they were made by Armstrong and the second man to walk on the moon Buzz Aldrin. Unless a meteor hits that area, they could last as long as the moon does. Judge Thibodeaux further believes it was one of the greatest events in history and thinks it would be eventful if the United States was to man another mission to the moon, but it wouldn’t have as much of an impact since it’s been done before. He added growing up he heard about the moon and he viewed it as a magical place. Now there were people who flew to the moon and returned to tell about it. Neil Armstrong was born in Wapakoneta, Ohio August 5, 1939. He took his first flight when he was six in “The Tin Goose,” a Ford Trimotor plane and he was hooked. He started working doing odd jobs to pay for a pilot’s license, and got it at age 16, before he even knew how to drive a car on the ground. He graduated from Blume High in 1947 with a scholarship from the U.S. navy and entered Purdue University to study Aeronautical Engineering. It didn’t quite work out the way Armstrong planned. He was called to active duty to go to a “Police Action” in

bage cans were turned over and trash was spread across the floors. There were a few white boards that had explicit and derogatory language written on them, some containing vulgar drawings. A school official gave an initial rough estimate of the damages to the school building of anywhere from $15,000 to $20,000. Deputies were able to gather evidence from the scene. After following up on some of the information, deputies were able to track down four white male juveniles who confessed to the crime. Two of the juveniles, a 15-year-old and 13-year-old, were enrolled as students in the Orangefield School District and reside near the school. The other two juveniles, a 14-year-old and 13-year-old, reside in Beaumont but were staying with a relative in the Orangefield area at the time. The Orangefield School District is pursued charges while the investigation was ongoing.

nal link in “Hug-The-Coast Highway” between Corpus Christ and Orange, which was at the time, the new Texas-87. The swing bridge over Cow Bayou brought about the consolidation of the Prairie View and Winfree school districts to become Bridge City I.S.D. The bridge was a routine part of life in early Bridge City. Near it, community, commerce and industry flourished to become the city of Bridge City in 1970, according to Record archives. TxDOT re-striped the lanes on the roadway and made the Cow Bayou Overpass Bridge into four lanes of traffic for the more than 30,000 vehicles that are expected to travel through the area on a daily basis. Each lane will be 9 to 10 feet wide. Two lanes of traffic will travel south while the other two lanes will be northbound. No bicycle or pedestrian traffic will be allowed on the swing bridge or the Cow Bayou Overpass Bridge. TxDOT officials suggest people take alternate routes into the area, such as, using FM 1442 to FM 408 or east Roundbunch to FM 1006 to continue to their destination. People should also consider the alternate routes if they think they may experience some problems crossing the Cow Bayou overpass bridge because of the narrow lanes of traffic.

since June. Another van was having catalytic converter issues which is a warranty item. Jill Shores, personnel director, reported on the employee health care insurance presentation from last week’s meeting. Thibodeaux announced there will be a work shop on the matter on July 28. There are current job openings for a mechanic and seasonal help in Road & Bridge, seasonal help in Mosquito Control, a senior accountant/ internal auditor, an Auditing Clerk III and an opening in Adult Probation. There was also a retirement

in Adult Probation. There were resignations for a housekeeper in Maintenance, Clerk III in the District Clerk office, a Clerk II in the Tax Office and a Jailer in the Sheriff’s Office. Two full-time jailers where hired in Sheriff’s Office, one part-time extra help in MIS, one full-time housekeeper in Maintenance, four part-time in Mosquito Control, one parttime driver in Transportation, five part-time seasonal extra help in Road & Bridge and one part-time bailiff. Donna Scales, park director, reported to the court her office has been receiving complaints

because there isn’t enough parks personnel to maintain the county’s parks. Scales said she has two full-time workers and one who works on the weekends. She requested two part-time employees for the department. She added the last time she had part-time employees was April 2014. “We’re stretched too thin,” she said. Thibodeaux said the issue is becoming a health and safety issue due to lack of personnel to do upkeep. The motion was approved.

(Editor’s note: Richard’s life has taken several turns since then. He didn’t stay at Port Neches very long because the position of principal became available at Bridge City. He became principal but later gave it up to become athletic director, the job he said fitted him best. *****Ebb and Kim Moore, of Parlours, will be moving into the Harry’s Appliance building on Green Ave. They bought the building from Harry and Margie Stephens who are moving their appliance store to the Salvation Army building, located at 10th and Main.

From the Creaux’s Nest THINGS COULD BE WORSE Here we go again. The weeks keep flying by. In fact, here we are already in mid-July. In early fall I predicted that it would be a hot summer but much wetter than normal. I’ve been right about that but some areas through the country have had constant downpours. South Louisiana hasn’t had a dry spell. My sister north of Lafayette says that in June and part of July they have received nearly 14 inches of rain. My place had gotten very little rain while it rained all around. However over the weekend we recorded nearly three inches. Throughout the country nothing has been normal about the weather. In some north-western states temperature dipped down into the low 30’s and had frost. *****Meanwhile, Wall Street is all aglow. The Dow climbed over 17,000. Hard to believe it was below 8,000 five years ago. Unemployment was at 10.2. The housing market was in shambles, mortgage companies had raped the country. Auto manufactures were on the verge of bankrupts. That would have also busted many other manufactures. We’ve come a long way but I still say if the congress would have passed a jobs or highway bill, million more would be working. We’ve recovered from the worst recession in 2008 since the great depression plus we have recovered the eight million jobs lost in 2007-2008. A jobs bill was the answer. With all the bad things we are bombarded with every hour of the day, think about how much better off we are today than we were just over five years ago. Sometimes among all the garbage we forget to count our blessings. *****It’s time for me to go. Hop on board and come along. I promise it won’t do you no harm. THE OTHER MAN ON THE MOON On July 20, 1964, the words came from the moon. “Tranquility Base, the Eagle has landed.” Those were the words of the other man on the moon, the pilot of the lunar module, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, just a few minutes before Aldrin stepped on the surface of the moon. Neil Armstong spoke the words heard around the world. Armstrong, being the first man to step on the moon, became famous, a hero, but he never capitalized on it. He could have made millions on endorsements, books and speaking engagements. Instead he turned to teaching. Aldrin, who landed on the moon at the exact time as Armstrong did not get the same notoriety even though he was far more outgoing and well liked. I got to meet him once briefly. When they returned to the module Aldrin shut the door. When Armstrong was asked in Houston why they bothered to shut the door he said, “So people wouldn’t say we were born in a barn.” Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon that July day attended West Point, flew jets in Korea. He earned his doctorate in aeronautics. He retired as a Colonel from the United States Air force. His wrote his autobiography and two science fiction books. In 2002, he was in the news again when a conspiracy theorist, Bart Sibrel, said there was no moon landing and called Buzz a coward and a liar. Aldrin, then 72, punched him out. Sibrel went to the police but they wouldn’t file charges on one of the best known astronauts in history, the man who landed Neil Armstrong on the moon. Now you know the rest of the story. Two famous men landed on the moon for the first time. OUR SYMPATHY It was a tragic accident, a strong storm cell started by nature, when lightning struck Andy Borel’s boat on the Sabine River Saturday. Andy and his two young girls were traveling down the river trying to beat the stormy weather home when the boat was struck causing it to run into the dock. All three of the passengers were thrown from the boat. The front of the boat was folded back. The propeller injured seven year old Ann, who is now in a Houston hospital recovering from several cuts. Her 10 year old sister Janae, was reported to have been trapped under the boat and lost her life. It is very sad anytime a child is taken from us. It’s difficult not to question why. Ms. Pearl Burgess tells us what a fine man Andy is and what a wonderful family the Borel’s are. Andy kept Pearl’s yard up and the two girls often visited her in the house where they shared cookies. Our prayers are with this good family. Services for Janae are pending. Donations of help with expenses can be made at www.gofundme.com/bi8hlo.

Daughter Karen became ill so they delayed the trip home. Cox delayed his cake baking. Ginny is due home Tuesday night. *****I heard from someone who wanted to know how to get rid of black spots on roses. I’m not an expert but something that has always worked for me is grandma’s old remedy. Add one tablespoon of baking soda to a gallon of water and a few drops of dish washing detergent and spray it on the roses. It always works. It works on Camellias, also. Spray every week or so and soon the spots will be gone. *****As of July 10, Ronnie Shugart became a new grandpa to a future baseball All-Star. Hudson Rayne Shugart-Kyle weighed in at 7 lbs., 7 ozs. He arrived 20 inches high. Parents are Mackenzie Shugart and Stan Kyle. Congratulations to all. Has Ronnie bought him a glove yet? Is he a “righty” or “lefty?”*****Allen Tate and the gang at MidCounty Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram are getting some good traffic and sales from Orange County. During these summer months they have rock bottom prices in all new car departments. Summer is a great time to shop for a new vehicle. See their ad in this issue. Tell ‘um we sent you. Maybe you’ll get a “Lagniappe.” Cajun saying for “something extra,” an unexpected nice surprise.*****We had a nice visit with Dan Mohan. What a nice guy. Dan is former mayor of Orange and now serves on the Pinehurst city council. He and wife Manon and the grandkids just returned from their place in Fredericksburg, in the Hill Country. He tells me the weather was great for golfing. The family always has a great time plus an outstanding peach crop. That’s the first thing I asked about. *****Angel Sehon, of Bridge City, submitted a couple of prom

pictures and was chosen to be an extra in the movie Pitch Perfect 2. She was an extra a few weeks ago in the movie for another scene but this time she was chosen to be in an action scene and get paid. Ashley Ashworth, also of Bridge City, was chosen for the second time. The film comes out in 2015. *****I really would be disappointed if I didn’t hear from Lily Ponds each week. I was starting to believe I wouldn’t hear this week when here comes another stupid e-mail. On the other hand, I hear from people like Cindy Thibodeaux who wouldn’t miss an issue of The Record. She checks it out every week and it doesn’t do her no harm. *****Belated birthdays to Kellie Mason Meaux and Tracy Addison who celebrated on July 15. *****A few folks we know celebrating birthdays in the next few days.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK When Joe Boudreaux died, he left a widow, Gladys, and four little chillums. Gladys was determined dat her family would be like all da uttas. She made her little girls nice feed sack dresses and her two boys feed sack shirts with shiny buttons. She did everyting to keep the family normal. Owning a dog was considered a social status, but dey was too poor to feed a dog. Gladys could just barely feed da family. She was very proud however so when she saw company coming up da dirt trail, she made Ned, the fourteen-year-old, get under the house and bark like a dog so folks would think they had one. Gladys would always say, “Dat ‘Blue Tick’ will bark at everyting and howls at da moon.” C’EST TOUT The problem on the border, with the arrival of so many immigrants, goes back to a well intended bill passed by the Bush Administration that cleared the way for those seeking asylum. Mostly those that have arrived are from South America. Those from Mexico and Canada are not eligible. Not all, but many, of those asking asylum fear death from gangs in their countries. That reminds me about a situation in 1939. Boat loads of Jewish people fled from Germany to avoid death. Cuba had agreed to take them in but changed their mind as the Jews were approaching Cuba so the ships came to the United States and asked for asylum. We turned them down. The ships full of people returned to Germany where Hitler killed most of them. My point is that we may be sending some of those kids back to sure death by gangs that have taken over lawless countries. I believe Bush’s law was intended to protect some of those people. However, the bill created a loop hole that was being abused and will certainly be changed. For a minute put your child or grandchild in the position that some of those seven, eight or nine year old, scared youngsters find themselves in. I’ve only had one idiot tell me, “Put the National Guard on the border and tell them they can’t enter and if they do start shooting.” You don’t want to know what I told him. *****The Wednesday Lunch Bunch will meet at Novrozsky’s this week and back to Robert’s next. Everyone is welcome. *****My final thought. You may find yourself in the same place, “I used to stare at the mirror, admiring myself. Today I stay away from mirrors, but when I happen by one, I see somebody else.” Think about that. *****Gotta get out of here. Right now I’m headed to On the Bayou for a broiled lobster.

Penny LeLeux ~ For The Record Photography by Mike Louviere After a month of classes and rehearsals, it is time for the curtain to go up. e Orange Community Players Inc. Young People’s eater Workshop will come to a close this week with four performances of “eater Comique.” a vaudeville type review with song, dance, skits and comedy.

Twenty plus kids, ages 6-18, have learned about make-up, costuming, choreography, stage production and more in an intensive summer workshop that is the best bargain for a kid’s camp around. e cost was only $25, for weeks of instruction worth hundreds. Many of the students through the years have continued on to become members of the youth board and then later, OCP board members and continue to grow in the OCP family. In fact, this year’s workshop director and one of his assistant directors are two of those workshop alumni. ‘Rico Vasquez and Bridget Parker, both grew up on the OCP stage. Vasquez took a more supervisory role in this year’s workshop since he just directed the OCP show “Fun for Funds” last month. is was the first year he was in charge of the workshop. e reins had been passed to him by his mother, Codie Vasquez who was the previous director for years. Codie is working on a huge production to drop in September, “Sweeny Todd,” and has her hands full. ‘Rico Vasquez in turn, turned most of the actual show direction over to his assistants, Parker and Keri Foreman. “It’s always enjoyable to work with the kids. I love watching them learn new tricks and trades, then actually get up here and use what they learned,” said Parker about her tenure as assistant director this year. 'It’s really neat to watch them, by the end of the show, really get to use that and show everybody in the audience. It’s real fun to have the laughs and the giggles, when things go wrong, just watching them laugh.” is is Foreman’s first ‘rodeo’ into this arena. “I’ve actually found it quite wonderful. e kids are very willing to do a lot of different things that we have asked them to do,” She said. “We fortunately have a very talented group of kids. ere are 23 little faces out here that expect a lot out of us. ey expect us to teach them and they are soaking it up like sponges.” Youngsters that participated in this years workshop are: Bryan Buzbee, Chase Courtier, Jonah Courtier, Carrissa Slaughter, Elizabeth Johns, Adrianna Francis, Hannah Francis, Lela Francis, Blake Clingaman, Tyler Foreman, Grace Huckaby, Jenna Huckaby, Eli Perry, Robert Simpson, Jayden Henry, Zoe Ryan, Dalton Teeler, Creely Leblanc, Brandon Cox, Taylor Beard, Savannah Westbrook, Aubrey Moore, Isabella Morgan and Dejainique Carter. ree evening evening shows are scheduled at 7:37 p.m. ursday through Saturday, with a matinee at 2:37 p.m., Sunday. “I won’t give away all of the numbers, but we are doing some classics

such as Who’s on First (Part 2), Make ‘em Laugh, and Abbot and Costello’s Slowly I Turned,” said Vasquez. Come enjoy a great show put on by young theater students aged 6-18 for a great price of only $5 per ticket. “is is my ﬁrst time to ever assistant direct or direct or anything like that, so I’m pleasantly surprised at how well it’s going,” said Foreman. “It’s really fun to enjoy and have a great time with them,” said Parker. If you don’t get to catch the show, some of the players will be performing the following week at National Dance Day on July 26 at the Riverfront Pavilion in Orange. e playhouse is located at 708 W. Division Ave., Orange.. For reservations call the theater at (409) 882-9137

Tamale stand brings back tasty memories Nancyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen

After a trip to the South Texas State Fair in Beaumont years ago, Upon our return home, we were getting a bit hungry. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ere was a tamale stand along the route. I decided to stop there and treat each one to a tamale meal. Several days later it came out in the news that the tamale meals were made using muskrat meat. As despicable and vile as that sounds, I must admit we had enjoyed the taste of those tamales. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;is week I am giving you this KEEPER Tamale Pie recipe. I saved the leftover canned Rotel tomatoes, beans and corn by freezing and saving them as a soup base.

TAMALE PIE

1 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil Â˝ lb. lean ground beef Â˝ chopped onion Âź chopped green bell pepper 1 tsp. minced garlic (I use the minced in oil) 1 Tbsp. chili powder Â˝ tsp. ground cumin 1 (5.5 oz.) can tomato juice Â˝ (10 oz.) can Rotel tomatoes (I prefer mild) Âž (4.5 oz.) can diced green chilies, drained Â˝ (15 oz.) can Ranch Style Beans, drained & rinsed Âź (14.75 oz.) canned corn (or may use frozen), drained & rinsed Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste 4 oz. shredded Colby & Monterey Jack cheese(or cheese of choice) Preheat oven to 375. Heat olive oil in a

deep 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Crumble & brown beef in skillet; add onion, bell pepper and garlic. When vegetables are tender, stir in chili powder, cumin; add tomato juice, Rotel tomatoes, beans, and corn. Allow to simmer and season with salt and pepper to taste. When liquid has cooked down, place meat mixture into a pie plate that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle cheese of choice over meat mixture. Top with Tamale Crust and bake in oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until lightly brown.

Earl Thomas, a West Orange-Stark graduate, is part of the Seattle Seahawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Legion of Boom and a big reason the NFL is paying such close attention to the defending Super Bowl champions.

Seattle defense still gets much respect after SB win KAZâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S KORNER JOE KAZMAR For The Record If there's one thing a lop-sided upset in a Super Bowl does, it's getting the attention of the other 28 National Football League teams. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;at's exactly what has been happening ever since the underdog Seattle Seahawks strapped a gigantic 43-8 hickey on the heavily-favored Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII on the ďŹ rst Sunday of February. Ever since â&#x20AC;&#x153;î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e Legion of Boomâ&#x20AC;? did such a masterful job of completely stiďŹ&#x201A;ing Peyton Manning's potent oďŹ&#x20AC;ense, many teams have been drafting and trading for huge physical cornerbacks which, according to Athlon Sports 2014 NFL Preview, was the key to Seattle's domination of the Broncos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At a time when football is as complicated as tax law, the Seahawks eliminate a lot of the mystery. See those big guys on the outside? î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ey're going to be on your receivers all game long, punishing them for even thinking about running pass patterns,â&#x20AC;? the article points out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anybody at the wide-out position who wants

to succeed against Richard Sherman, Byron Maxwell and the rest of those oversized cornerbacks had better get rid of the drama and put on some coveralls. It's time to go to work,â&#x20AC;? the article continues. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e aggressiveness of the extra-large cornerbacks comes because of the play of All-Pro free safety Earl î&#x20AC;&#x201C;omas and 6-3, 232pound strong safety Kam Chancellor. Athlon rates Orange native î&#x20AC;&#x201C;omas as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the best in the leagueâ&#x20AC;? at closing on the ball and specializes in protecting Seattle cornerbacks on deep balls. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;omas' tremendous football skills give the Seahawks' corners the perfect support for their rugged ways at the line of scrimmage. If someone were to beat Sherman or Maxwell, it was unlikely they would get past î&#x20AC;&#x201C;omas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need no reason beyond that to explain why the team signed the safety to a four-year, $40 million ($27.725 million guaranteed) extension in April,â&#x20AC;? the article concluded.

KAZ’S KORNER

The key to success is having quality topwater lures. Check all the aspects of your new lures before tossing them into the water ... the beauty is in the details.

Customize your favorite topwater lures, you’ll for-sure catch more fish OUTDOORS WEEKLY CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE For The Record More than once it has happened, you and your best fishing buddy are standing side by side using the same lure but only one of you is really catching fish. e next time this happens you need to examine you partners lure a little more closely, especially when it comes to topwater plugs. ere are plenty of serious fishermen out there who just take a plug out of the package and start using it without any thought of checking several key components. Hooks are the main thing, inferior hooks cost fishermen more fish than anything. Check to see how sharp the treble hooks are before you chunk that plug, sometimes they are not nearly as sharp as one might think. Split rings that hold the hooks are another culprit, stainless steel split are a must when hustling fish in saltwater. Also, the size of the split can cause you grief as well, some plugs like the Superspook for instance have really big rings that allow for excess travel of the treble hooks which in turn results in the hooks getting tangled on one another. e simple solution to this problem is to just down size the rings. Tournament anglers for years have been tinkering with all sorts of lures, bass guys are the worst. Show me any big bass tournament fisherman and I will show you a guy who is into an outdoors version of arts and crafts. Dips, dyes,rattles, skirts and swivels that spin if you just think about them wrong are all variables that can be changed or altered to give a fisherman an edge. Well, the tweaking has made a major crossover into the saltwater arena, especially when it comes

to the topwater plugs. On a recent trip to Calcasieu Lake in Louisiana I saw first hand how slight variations in lures can make a huge difference. I was throwing Mirrolure’s black Top Dog Jr. as were some of the other fishermen in my boat. We all were doing fairly well on some nice speckled trout when I decided to change up my approach somewhat. I picked out a“customized” version of the same plug and began to really catch some fish. e new plug had a chartreuse head and some teasers on the back hook made from aquarium tubing. e two pieces of tubing had been dyed chartreuse and red in order to give the bait a little flash. e new Top Dog Jr. was instantly crushed on consecutive casts by trout over 6 pounds. My fellow fishermen struggled to copy the plug in hopes of getting on the bigger fish, but to no avail they could not match the “custom” plug in either color or production. e teaser tabs on the plug really helped when the fish got finicky, at times I would let the plug sit completely still for several seconds with nothing but the waves moving it back and forth until a trout would come crashing from beneath the surface to engulf it. I since have put the little tabs on nearly all my topwaters, I know they help catch more fish because I have seen it first hand. With a little imagination and a few simple things like paint pens and dye you can really trick out a plug and make it into a real fish catching machine. If you don’t want to go through all that trouble at least change your dull hooks out in favor of sharper ones like the VMC or Gamakatsu, they are super sharp and plenty strong. By just changing the hooks out you will be ahead of the game. One other little trick that requires no painting or exotic changes, turn the eye on the lure 90 degrees to where it sits horizontal with the surface of UZZLE, Page 3B

“Part of what goes into all of this is our play at safety,” pointed out Seahawks' defensive coordinator Dan Quinn. “ey stay over the top well, and if you have a guy like Earl in the middle of the field who can get to deep-thrown balls, you're in pretty good shape.” e manner in which e Legion of Boom manhandled the Broncos with their aggressive cornerbacks triggered a league-wide expedition for larger, tougher cornerbacks. “at's why players like Utah's Keith McGill were so popular at February's Scouting Combine,” the Athlon article revealed. “e 6-3 converted safety earned honorable mention All-Pac-12 notice as a senior and wasn't a favorite of draft analysts during the 2013 season.” Once the Seahawks showed what larger corners could do, McGill became a lot more popular. He ran a 4.51 and had a vertical leap of 39 inches, but his best attribute, and the thing that made him so attractive, was his success in press coverage during the season. “Even though he wasn't taken until the fifth round, the fact that McGill's name was mentioned so often in the run-up to the draft indicated how important his size was,” the article concluded. “Everybody would like to get longer, taller guys that run 4.4,” Seattle head coach Pete Carroll told ESPN. “But there are just not many humans like that in the world, you know. So it's rare when you find them and then you have to develop the guys. e perfect guys are not there because there are not tall, exceedingly fast guys. “So you have to make those guys come to life in your coaching and how you adapt your style and your ability to fit it,” Carroll concluded. Carroll has done a pretty nifty job so far by drafting or trading for big physical guys to play in the Seahawks' defensive secondary. Don't bet against his theory working again for the 2014 NFL season. KWICKIES…If you check the major league baseball standings during this All-Star break, you'll be surprised to find out that our Houston Astros aren't the worst team in the majors. In fact they aren't even the worst team in the American League or even in the AL West Division, thanks to the Texas Rangers. e Astros' 40-56 record is nothing to do cartwheels about, but this is the first time they went into the break with 40 victories since

From Page 1B 2009 when they won 44 games before the break. Houston didn't reach their 40th win last season until Aug. 16, so it seems evident they are doing better this season than the last three which resulted in more than 100 losses. In fact they have to finish the season worse than 23-43 to reach 100 losses. And while on the topic of the Astros, let's look at their ONLY player to make the American League All-Star team–second baseman Jose Altuve, whose statistics should have earned him the start at second base. All Altuve has done so far this season is lead the major leagues with 130 hits and 40 multi-hit games, making him just the second player in major league history to have more than 125 hits and 40 stolen bases. Altuve also leads the American League with 29 doubles and with his 41 stolen bases gives him the biggest combination of hits and stolen bases before the All-Star game in major league history. Former Astros player and executive Bob Watson presented Altuve with a bat to commemorate Altuve's breaking of Watson's franchise record for hits before the All-Star break (123). Coincidentally, Altuve wears Watson's old uniform number 27. JUST BETWEEN US…In a little more than a week Houston Texans fans will find out whether the rumor about All-Pro wide receiver Andre Johnson not playing anymore for the Texans is true or not. Just about every news flash about his status has him demanding a trade to a playoffbound team or one with a “big-name quarterback.” What makes it sound real is the fact Johnson gets a $1 million “workout bonus” if he participates in the off-season program, which he has done every year but refused to do this spring. Johnson is miffed that the Texans didn't draft or trade for a quarterback that could get them back into the playoffs, but instead chose to “rebuild” for a championship team three or four years down the road. At 33-years-old, Johnson can see the writing on the wall, with his chances of getting another opportunity to participate in the playoffs with Houston are nearly nil. But the writer who covers the Houston Texans beat for the Houston Chronicle boldly predicted in last Friday's edition that Johnson isn't going anywhere and when he finally reports, will be the same old hard-working Andre Johnson that Texans fans are accustomed to watching and appreciating.

the water rather than perpendicular. By doing this the nose of the plug will stay down and add a little more action to your favorite bait like the Super Spook, Ghost, or Top Dogs. And of course always tie a loop knot when fishing topwaters, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a firm believer in the benefits of using this knot because it adds some irresistible action to the plug. The increased action in the presentation is just undeniable, use it next time and it you will see a definite difference.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to try some of your own variations on your favorite plugs, you never know what might happen. If you just happen to stumble onto the perfect bait you will have it all to yourself. Just think what that knowledge and edge will do for you next time you and a buddy take to the water, when the fish start coming in on your side of the boat much more frequently it will be well worth the time and effort not mention bragging rights.

Faith and Values: It's our watch in the world

The Rev. William Seifert In case you haven't noticed, it's our watch. Prior generations have done their jobs and future generations have yet to take up their tasks, so it is our watch over our homes and cities and nations; it is our watch in the world. That's not symbolic rhetoric. To deny it makes us negligent to all generations, accepting this is our greatest challenge. Let me talk about a few matters as regards our watch. Much as we appreciate the diverse array of living things, we are accountable for the world â&#x20AC;&#x201D; planet, people and all â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because we exercise an authority as no other creatures do. We have taken charge of the world. Great apes have not, neither the dolphins nor the elephants. It is us and it is our watch. The sciences tell us much about being human, yet not everything. We have cobbled the sciences from our observations about nature. We are larger than our observations and conclusions; they keep on changing yet we keep asking questions. We are homo sapiens and even when that sounds arrogant, because we have done foolish things, it remains the name we have given ourselves. We ask questions. Philosophy, published or private, gives us observations about what makes us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; US. Those have always been and remain our thoughts, organized and logical or spontaneous and incoherent. We crave to know the why of things. Religions unfold viewpoints that offer answers to many questions, yet leave us disappointed, hanging onto mysteries we may never fully understand. We have come to want what works well, what works for us and we want it now because it is important to us. That is self-referential; that doesn't bother us. It should because it means we have forgotten them who are not us. Moral amnesia has ever been the plague of humanity and we see it played out in Ukraine, Iraq, American government and common economic practices today. Check out world history and you will find the same stories with different names and technologies. We need to ask the right questions such as what is important. We live in this world;

there is no other one. Over the past century, we have opened the world to travel by sea and air, to hard-wired and wireless communications. We endured global economic disasters and global wars, entered the nuclear, space and information ages. New technologies were spun into existence at an incredible pace. Old regimes whirled out of existence, as did some of their replacements. The political map of 2014 Europe looks similar to that of 1914 yet beyond Europe there have been remarkable political changes. Conflicts between capitalist and socialist economic practices and democratic and totalitarian governments have reshaped the world from the inside. People think differently. Over the past century technologies applied through many media have shaped how we reason and this is revolutionary. We are partaking in the transformation of an age. The systems of forces whirling about in this new millennium are awesome. Wittingly or unwittingly, we are agents of that transformation. It is our watch after all. Though we may be left speechless, we are neither ignorant nor powerless. There are those who would prefer that we quietly surrender to the inevitable or succumb to the propaganda of a consumer world. That is not going to happen on our watch. Clergy of all faiths have the inconvenient job of bringing uncomfortable

truths into the public square. Authentic religion nurtures justice through liberty not irresponsibility. Freedom is not a warrant to achieve greatness through the degradation of others. Sadly, we have tumbled through a quagmire of self-importance into an age of numbness where neither fame nor shame has meaning and it is alarming. Convenience and selfish craving for what pleases for the moment flushes wisdom from one's mind and darkens it to authentic good, because doing what is upright is too difficult. It is our watch over our world and over our nation, but to dismiss this fact simply as pious rhetoric from a Catholic

priest is perilous. It's not because I am a priest or a Catholic but because it is true that such peril exists. Moral amnesia about our place in the world brings about chaos and it need not be so. Let me commend to you the words of Psalm 127. Reading them, brooding over them, praying them may not change anything. Wise words do nothing. Prudent actions accomplish much. The psalm may help your balance on the parapets of history. We are making history, have no doubt of that. It is, after all, our watch, be attentive. The Rev. William Seifert is pastor at St. Stephen of Hungary Church in Allentown.
