Attorneys representing the family members of Robert Montano have filed a lawsuit alleging Orange County employees consciously chose not to ensure that Robert Montano, who is a known mental health patient, received basic human needs, medical and mental health care, food or water. The case is set to go to Federal court in November. In addition, the family along with the attorneys from the Bernsen Law Firm are seeking a temporary injunction to shut down the daily activities of the Orange County Jail. They are awaiting a hearing date. According to Cade Bernsen, they feel the procedures of the jail could put other lives at risk. Not only are medical needs not being met, but inmates who may have psychological needs are not being properly served. According to the petition filed with the court, the incident began around 6:24 p.m. on Oct. 7, 2011, when an Orange

Monday afternoon’s Orange County Commissioners’ Court meeting went to the dogs. Not really, but commissioners did approve an agreement with Hill County Dog Center for the purchase of a new police K-9 for use by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. The cost of the K-9 will be $13,200. The purchase money will be paid out of OCSO forfeiture account. The new K-9, Striker, will replace Shadow, the K-9 who will honorably retire on July 31, according to Sheriff Keith Merritt. Merritt said he determined Shadow can no longer perform its law enforcement functions due to medical reasons after nine years of faithful service to the citizens of Orange County. Cpl. Russell Hall has been Shadow’s sole handler during the K-9’s service life. Hall will take possession of Shadow and care for him the remainder of his life. Both dogs are Belgian Malinois. “This is the typical age they

Striker is still completing his preliminary training and Merritt hopes he and Hall will be compatible as partners to work as a certified team. “We’re hoping he’s the dog. They’re getting affiliated with each other. We’re pretty sure he’ll be the one,” Merritt said. Hall also has prior dog handling experience from the military before he joined OCSO in COUNTY BUSINESS Page 3A

BASS tournament a repeat in Orange David Ball

For The Record

This is a tale about the one that didn’t get away. The Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce together with the Stark Cultural Venues are proud to announced the return of Bassmaster Elite Series Tournament at a press conference on July 17 at the chamber’s office. The first tournament was held March 2013. The tournament will be held March 19-22, 2015 at the Orange Public Boat Ramps off of Simmons Drive. There are eight elite tournaments during the year, said organiz-

er John Gouthia. Todd Faircloth won the last tournament in Orange with 49.6 total pounds. He also won $100,000 in prized money. The tournament will be aired again on ESPN and The Outdoors Channel. “We’re glad to have the Stark Culture Venues with us again,” Gouthia said. Ida Schossow, president of GOACC, said there were 1,142 motel rooms booked for last time. “They’ll be here the Sunday before that (the tournament). All of hotels were all full. It was great for the community.

BASS usually doesn’t come back to back.” There will be additional events this year including music concerts for Thursday night as well as for Friday night. There will also be a possible 5K run, a fish tank, sponsored by Gopher Industrial, for kids to catch fish all four days of the tournament, a carnival, food vendors, a shuttle bus and a fireworks show by Pyrotecnico of Louisiana. “There will be a full week of activities and more entertainment at night. It will be a staycation during Spring Break,” she said.

Schossow said she’s already receiving calls and e-mails from those interested in the tournament. The last tournament in Orange drew a then record crowd for a Bassmaster Elite event with 33,650 people in attendance. Orange still holds the record for one-day attendance with 15,700. There were over 100 volunteers helping with the event. Both Schossow and Gouthia said they thought 10,000 would show up for the tournament in 2013. Never had they dreamed it would be BASSMASTER Page 3A

City of Orange seeking to collect tax money David Ball

The city of Orange passed two resolutions at their regular meeting Tuesday night in an attempt retain sales tax and Hotel Occupancy Tax monies. The first passed awarded a consultant services agreement to MuniServices, LLC for a sales tax compliance review. MuniServices states their business is designed to assist the city with economic forecasting and in preserving and enhancing its sales and use tax revenues by detecting, documenting, and correcting sales tax misallocations thereby producing previously unrealized revenue for the city while giving the city a more accurate sales tax base upon which to forecast its revenue. The city shall pay MuniServices a 35 percent contingency

fee for the past three years. The fee applies to the sales and use tax revenue received by the city from correction of taxpayer reporting OUBRE errors detected and documented by the sales tax compliance review. MuniServices will invoice city quarterly based on past and/or prospective compliance secured on behalf of the city. Invoices are due and payable upon receipt. Their services would cost the city $3,500 per year. City Manager Shawn Oubre said a similar audit was done six years ago. The need for the audit arose when city employees could not receive a clear answer by the Texas Comptroller of Public

Accounts office. There were big swings in the sales tax collected numbers that was tied to decisions by the comptroller. Oubre favors doing the audit one time and waiting a couple of years for doing so again. The audit will go back three years and take a contingency fee. The contingency fee should be built up enough to pay for itself. Any money collected will go to the General Fund. The second resolution approved was for MuniServices for a local occupancy tax audit. Their services are intended to assist the city in maximizing lodging tax revenue it is entitled to through an on-site examination of records and education of the lodging providers to ensure the appropriate collection and remittance of the lodging tax. The city will pay a $2,000 one-time start-up fee. The au-

dit services shall be provided for a fixed fee of $1,700 for each lodging property audited with 50 percent due at the time of audit approval and 50 percent upon completion of the audit. A minimum of two audits must be performed at any one time. There will also be an annual fixed fee of $250 per each lodging property. If the city permits on-site examination of the records of 10 percent but no less than two of the city’s lodging properties per year to ensure compliance in collecting and returning the local hotel occupancy tax, MuniServices shall discount the administration to an annual fixed fee of $150 per each lodging property. The total price to the city for the 13 motels to be audited is $7,350. Two audits per year will be performed and an in-depth audit of two motels per year.

The council approved the final reading abandoning the block of Jackson Street east of Market Street and maintaining a utility and drainage easement. This portion of Jackson Street is not being used by the general public but is being used as a private drive. An ordinance abandoning the remaining portion of the Water Street right-of-way was tabled. This portion of Water Street has been totally fenced in by the Higman Towing Company and is being used as private property. Councilman Tommy Ferguson said it would be crazy to give away waterfront property. Councilwoman Theresa Beauchamp suggested the city lease the property. Oubre said the city can study the issue and come back at a future council ORANGE TAXES Page 3A

They have a huge fan base and following,” Schossow said. “We began working on this one the day after the 2013 one.” One plus is that organizers won’t have to put everything together from scratch. In fact, a GOACC delegation traveled to the Bassmaster headquarters in Alabama to organize the event. “They (the anglers) told us ‘Everyone has been so nice to us.’ And that was about the general public, not people at the tournament. They said they’ve never have been treated so well,” she said. “There was a sense of excitement and community pride.” They also said the Orange Texas Public Boat Ramp was a top-notch facility to host a major BASS tournament. The first tournament cost $93,000 to put on. Organizers thought the event would return $1.3 million. Instead it brought in $2.4 million direct. Some of

known as the “bubble,” until the booking process was completed. He remained there for five days until his death. Initially, the plan by the nurses was to simply observe Montano. After two days passed, they allegedly made the decision that Montano was too paranoid and delusional to be checked for vital signs. The lawsuit alleges, Monano was placed in a medical observation cell so nurses could observe his health but covered the windows of the cell with paper. According to the petition, in a statement from a nurse she described Montano as “paranoid.” “He refused to eat, drink or wear uniform clothing. He was constantly screaming.” She also said, Montano stated someone was “going to kill him.” Montano also crawled around the cell on his hands and knees. According to Cade Bernsen, basic needs such as a toilet in the bubble was not available. Montano only had a drain in the cell. A witness reported, “Robert wanted water and when he received it, he threw it on the ground and said it had strychnine in it.” The lawsuit alleges the county employees were aware of Montano’s mental problems and had made notations during prior stays at the jail. Based on the Texas Ranger’s Report of Investigation following Montano’s death, a justice

of the peace arrived at the jail on Oct. 8 to arraign Montano. However, the judge was unable to arraign him because he was incoherent. On Oct. 11, the judge again attempted to arraign Montano. The report indicated the JP was again unable to arraign him because of Montano’s health and indicated he would try again on Oct. 12. The nurse’s log reported Montano was crawling on the floor at 9:32 p.m. on Oct. 11. By 11:01 p.m. on the same date, Montano was quiet, lying supine on the floor. All the log notes indicated Montano was quiet and lying supine on the floor until 4:58 a.m. Oct. 12, 2011. At 4:58 a.m., the cell check log notes indicated the nurse saw Montano still lying supine on the floor and he did not appear to be breathing. The staff attempted CPR in order to resuscitate Montano. The initial cause of death according to the autopsy report by Dr. Tommy Brown, states “renal failure due to bath salts toxicity.” The decedent was incarcerated for public intoxication on Oct. 7, 2011, from bath salts. He expired on Oct. 12, 2011.” However, the toxicology report issued on Oct. 25, 2011 contains no information at all regarding bath salts “toxicity.” Furthermore, the toxicology report indicated Montano did not have any illegal drugs in his system at all. Instead, the toxicology report reveals Montano had high levels of urea nitrogen

and creatine in his vitreous fluid which possibly indicated poor kidney function at the time of death. Montano’s vitreous fluids indicated he was going through “ketoacidosis” which is a metabolic state associated with people who undergo “fasting.” It often times is accompanied by dehydration. The family is seeking damages from pain and suffering on behalf of Montano and themselves, burial expenses, attorney fees and court costs. Orange County officials are unable to comment on pending liitgation.

the proceeds enabled GOACC to fund the Shop Local campaign. Last time, $60,000 was asked for from the county and the city of Orange in Hotel Occupancy Tax funding This year, organizers will ask for $80,000.

Forty thousand more dollars will be spent for the 2015 tournament. “We’re really excited to get them back. They’ll really come out now. Thous who missed the first time will come this time,” Schossow said.

From the Creaux’s Nest WHEN RAIN IS TOO MUCH FOR CROP Much needed rains came but in some cases, rain is not that good for the crops. Also, timing is everything. Saturday morning I finally found a chance to break away from pressing chores, doctors visits, etc., to visit my friends, Sue and Tommy Simar. I probably disturbed their Saturday morning on the back porch, drinking coffee and talking about old times and I apologize for that. Tommy, like me, is a collector of old things, equipment, tools and almost anything grandpa used. He even has his granddad’s original ox yoke. Tommy and I are always on the same link of yesteryear things. We differ however on one thing, Tommy is quite a farmer and I’m not. He grows the best corn I ever ate. He grows a lot of other vegetables and fruit too; pears, Muscadine grapes and plenty figs. I would nearly commit a sin for a batch of figs. I love to eat them right off the tree. I’ve gotten off my original point, however, the Thursday and Friday rain had soured every ripe fig. I would have to wait a couple of days for a new crop. That was disappointing. Rain ruins figs. They sent me home with frozen figs and grapes that went in the big pot and made preserves and jelly on Sunday. I also was able to get some of their tomatoes that fortunately hadn’t gone bad from the rain. I was having visions of fresh figs in a bowl of vanilla ice cream. I may get some yet before the short fig season ends. Sue usually has figs, tomatoes, pears, etc. for sale. Give her a call if you’re looking for some at 883-33619. *****Well, the old clock on the wall says I’d best get going. I would appreciate it if you would be so kind as to come along. I promise it won’t do you no harm. CONDOLENCES Athalene Brown Manchac, 88, died Wednesday, July 16. She was the widow of our friend Frank Manchac. We had know Athalene for over 50 years. She was a good lady who suffered a lot of heart break having lost Frank, her parents and also sons, Frank, Jr. and Mark. She also lost a grandson ,William Manchac. Her daughter, Margaret Boehme, is her only surviving child. Athalene leaves seven grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. Service was held Friday, July 18.*****Antionette Ragusa Moore, 63, passed away July 16. I recall, over 40 years ago, seeing her at the family grocery store on 37th Street in Orange. I went in for hot tamales which the Ragusa’s were famous for. Antionette, a real beauty, with a great personality, caught everyone’s attention. She married John Moore many years ago and they had a son, John, daughter, Olivia and several grandkids. Antionette suffered poor health for many years but was blessed to have a loving, caring husband and family. On a personal note, she was our friends, Van and Josette Choates’ aunt. Services were held July 21. May she rest in peace.*****A couple of weeks ago, on July 9, Francine Tuppen, age 70, died at her residence in Bridge City. She was the widow of our longtime friend, Jimmy Tuppen. We had known her since she was a youngster in Orange. She was a nurse by training but also a lot more. She and Jimmy were an interesting couple traveling a lot to Vegas and visiting other Nevada casinos. Jimmy was a professional gambler and Francine was very sharp with numbers. They lived a quite life. It brings a smile to my face imagining she and Jimmy‘s reunion.. Services were held July 17. She was a fun person to have around. TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME 10 Years Ago-2004 Ten years ago, the late Louis Dugas recalled being elected to the Texas House 50 years earlier. (That was 60 years ago this week. I found it interesting and reprinted it. I still miss Lou.) By Louis Dugas, “Fifty years ago, I was elected to the House of Representatives as representative from Orange County. Sunday, July 25, the Chronicle carried a story by its Austin reporter saying only the rich could be in political office. When I was elected, I was a law student attending the University of Texas on the G.I. Bill. I had spent my last fifty dollars to file for office. I owned no car. My campaigning was done on foot. Once elected, I went to Austin on a Greyhound bus, riding all night. In Austin, I went to the Capitol and to the House of Representatives. I met Dorothy Hallman, Chief Clerk of the House and Carrie Frinka, Contingent Expanse Clerk. Since my election was after a run off, I had little choice of seats. I took one that was next to a man from Fort Worth named Joe Pyle. In January when the session started, I introduced myself to Mr. Pyle. He did not acknowledge me then or for a month or so, one day he turned to me and says, “I went to the doctor this morning.” At that point, I did not care about his medical situation. It turned out to be a joke and Joe Pyle and I were friends thereafter.”*****Vacationing at Disney World are Judge Pat Clark, Roselie and granddaughter, Whitney.

Pattie writes, While driving home from work, listening to radio station KNPR’S Drive Time programming, the talk was about drug detecting dogs as a private business. The dog handler they were interviewing left many unanswered questions so the reporter posed a question about how that plays out in the course of law enforcement. That’s when they went to District Attorney John Kimbrough, of Orange County Texas. Mr. Kimbrough said, “It hadn’t been tested yet but there were lots of questions, like does the dog have a reputation for reliability, where is the warrant, where is the probable cause?” He was the level-headed voice of reason on case law. Thought you would like to know that about your friend John. Pretty cool. (Editor’s note: Thanks Pattie, good to know.)*****Congrats to Bridge City and University of Houston baseball star Jake Lemoine, who is currently pitching for Team USA. Jake was voted the premier player of college baseball presented by the “Premier Players Sports Foundation.” He received the most on-line votes from a list of 20 top college baseball players. Former B.C. standout Matt Hicks, a Ragin‘ Cajun, was also listed in the top 20. Not bad for Bridge City. Two great guys.*****AARP magazine reports that in 1952, 60 percent of U.S. families consisted of two married parents, a bread winner and a house maker. Today, only 20 percent live in such a family. Divorce among Boomers has increased 50 percent in the past 20 years. No slow down in sight. The Baby Boomers are likely to have the highest lifetime levels of divorce of any generation born in the 20th Century. In 1970, 40 percent of households consisted of married couple and their children. Today, that is only 19 percent. Married adults in 1960, 72 percent, today 51 percent. Births to unmarried mothers in 1960, five-percent, today, 41 percent. Among all the changes, one thing remains constant, Americans love their kin. Survey after survey shows an overwhelming majority say their family is at the center of their lives. Family is everything. In the U.S. 8.4 percent of all married have a spouse of a different race.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Alsiod Thibodaux was forced to take a day off from work to appear for a minor traffic summons. Thibodeaux, him, he got restless as he waited hour after hour for his case to be heard. Finally, wen his name was called late in da afternoon, he stood up and said, “Dat’s me, I’m Thibodeaux,” and went and stood before da judge. Da judge say dat da court would be adjourned for da rest of da afternoon, and he would have to return da next day. Thibodeaux, frustrated, snapped, “Say wat?” His Honor equally irked by a tedious day, and Thibodeaux’s sharp query, roared, “Twenty dollars, contempt of court! Dat’s wat!” Den da Judge notice Thibodeaux checking his wallet. The Judge softened his tone and said, “Dat’s all right, you don’t have to pay now.” Thibodeaux, still aggravated, answered, “I know dat, me. I’m just seeing if I have enough money for two more words.” C’EST TOUT The first time I heard about Gov. Rick Perry’s plan to deploy up to 1,000 National Guard troops to the border was in an interview with Britt Hume on FOX. Hume asked “Why spend $12 million a month when the children are not breaking any laws.? Tell me Gov., what good will it do?” Rick said, “Well, it’s visual. When they see all those guns they will be discouraged from crossing the border.” Hume had a disgusted look on his face at that statement but did not comment. Officials along the border said it is useless. The National Guard is trained in warfare not law enforcement. DPS on the border is costing an additional $5 million a month. What the border is dealing with is Central American children fleeing violence and hopelessness but Perry, who has been flying all over the country, last week in Iowa, on Texas tax payer expense has for years been wanting to put “Boots on the Ground.” Now we know that this move is all political. Headline grabber. A few days ago Rick walked out in the Rio Grande with extremist radical Sean Hannity for the same purpose. Perry’s waste of money to send 1000 guardsmen to just stand around and show their weapons is strictly symbolic and has no purpose. President Obama has called on congress to approve $3.7 million in border aid but so far the congress is sitting on their hands and in a few days they leave for five weeks vacation. Everyone wants to capitalize on the border crisis and blame Obama for a Bush bill. Perry is taking it one step farther, he’s really trying to make political hay, with a bad, sad situation. He’s one conservative that doesn’t mind wasting money for his own gains. Perry really has visions of being president of the United States but even Ted Cruz is favored in his state. Go figure.*****The old clock on the wall shows it’s time to get out of here. Thanks for your time. Take care and God bless.

OPD seeks conviction in 15-year-old cold case By Debby Schamber For e Record

After more than 15 years, investigators have made an arrest for the murder of 66-year-old Garrett Villery, of Orange. Around 3 p.m. on April 8, 1999 police were called to the intersection of Second and Cherry Streets. When officers arrived they discovered Villery’s body inside the brown Chevrolet van. His death was later determined as death by asphyxiation. Investigators at the time had a suspect in mind, but did not know where he was located. He disappeared from Orange but had left some belongings behind. Since the suspect was not from this area, it was difficult to find him. As a result, the case went cold. However, in Oct. 2013, Sgt. Jason Ashworth was given the

ISAAC JOHNSON

cold case which had “bugged” oﬃcers over the years. Ashworth was determined to solve the case and began by taking a closer look at the evidence. “Technology has changed over the years and has made many advancements.” Ashworth said. e evidence was re-tested and they received “hits” on the

DNA collected. is led the investigators to Florida. Isaac Johnson, now 72, had served time in prison over the years which helped make a connection to the DNA on file in the federal system. e local law enforcement agency in Florida picked him up and transported him to a local jail. OPD investigators went to Florida to collect additional DNA for comparison and conduct an interview. Once the DNA was confirmed, investigators were able to put their case together and Johnson was later indicted by the Orange County Grand Jury. Johnson was recently transported to the Orange County Jail and bond was set at $100,000, on charges of first degree felony murder. If convicted he faces up to 99 years in prison or life. “Sometimes you just never know what technology can do and what they will be able to do in the future,” Ashworth said.

FISHING...

Rain doesn’t dampen bass action in region DICKIE COLBURN SABINE LAKE FISHING For The Record

dle.e bass would eventually go airborne at some point, while the better redfish just continued to burrow deeper in the scattered moss. For those of you that might have an opportunity to check out this bite for yourself this week, beware of floating debris, especially tires and timbers that are floating just beneath the surface. I saw much more of the lower unit killing stuff in Adams than in Cow Bayou, but we only fished as far north as the bridge on Roundbunch road. Al l of the rain apparently didn’t bother the redfish population much either as the teams entered in the fourth Triangle Tailchaser’s event of the year put on a show Saturday. e coveted year end team championship will come down to the last tournament of the year and it will be a dog fight as less than one pound separates the top three teams. Robbie and Justin Trahan won the Saturday event with three redfish that weighed 23.26 pounds. Jeremy Reeves and Daniel Metreyeon finished right behind them with 22.54 pounds with the third place check going to Jacob and Jeremiah Jordan with 20.57 pounds. e sixteen teams entered weighed in a total of 24 redfish that averaged 6.40 pounds per fish. Jason Stutes and Justin Hawkins won the Premier Yamaha side pot for the heaviest flounder with a solid 3.82 pound flattie. A total of eight flounder were weighed in so they apparently didn’t let the fresh water bother them much either. e championship for the year is based on a team’s best four out of

You will just have to excuse local bass fishermen for hoping for yet another down pour not unlike the system that parked on top of us last Friday. e flooding conditions, depending on where you reside in Orange County, will make it even tougher on the trout fishermen for a few days, but the bass apparently found it very much to their liking! Even before receiving several emails and phone calls from excited bass fishermen, we caught some exceptionally nice bass while looking for redfish in the bayous. On one trip we caught and released nine bass up to almost four pounds that were all keeper size fish. Even more surprising was the fact that we never caught the first small bass. Trey Smith said that he and his partner decided to fish a local tournament Saturday following the monsoon and was both pleased and somewhat shocked by their winning catch. ey fished one area all day and won the event with a seven pound stringer that could have been considerably larger had they not jumped off a four pounder. Dillon Renee’limited both Saturday and Sunday fishing Cow and Adam’s bayou and said that he had also done well in the Conway’s area prior to the rain. I have no idea what any of these other folks were fishing with, but we caught our bass throwing three-inch Usual Suspects and Swimming Images in the middle of pods of shad running the shorelines. It has been a long time since I set the hook on a fish in any of the local bayous and couldn’t tell whether it was a bass or a redfish for the first few We got more than the shark did for a change! cranks on the reel han- RECORD PHOTO: Dickie Colburn

NFL teams open training as 2014 season grows near KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR For The Record By the time this weekend gets here, all 32 National Football League teams will be at their respective training sites getting ready for the rapidly-approaching 2014 season. e Dallas Cowboys will be at their training facility at the City of Oxnard Field at the California complex, the Houston Texans will be at the Methodist Training Center in Houston while the New Orleans Saints will be at their location called e Greenbriar in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. e Buffalo Bills and the New York Giants began their training camp last week because they will be playing in the NFL’s first preseason game at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game on Aug. 3. e league is experimenting with lengthening the automatic extra-point kick with the snap coming from the 15-yard line instead of from the two for the first two exhibition games (three for the Giants and Bills) because Commissioner Roger

Goodell suggests that the extra-point conversions need more excitement. Also the goal posts will be extended another five feet in height in an attempt to making it easier to judge what’s good from the narrow misses. When a loose ball in the field of play occurs, the recovery will now be looked at by video review by the game officials. Also, when a referee uses video review, there will be consultation with the league’s officiating department in New York. However, the game official still has the final say. Another new rule being tested is that whenever a sack occurs outside of two minutes remaining in the half, the clock will continue to run. Also dunking the football over the crossbar after a touchdown will not be allowed any more. In addition to famous rookies like Cleveland’s quarterback Johnny Manziel, the Houston Texans’ No. 1 draft pick Jadevon Clowney and the St. Louis Rams’ gay player Michael Sam, several new coaches will also greet their players this week. e one pro football fans from our area are most concerned with is Bill O’Brien, new head coach of

KAZâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S KORNER our Houston Texans who is expected to straighten out a team that lost its ďŹ nal 14 games last season. He also must deal with the potential holdout of his top veteran wide receiver Andre Johnson. Other new coaches reporting for work this week include Jay Gruden with the Washington Redskins, Mike Zimmer at the Minnesota Vikings, Mike Pettine at Cleveland, Lovie Smith at Tampa Bay, Ken Whisenhunt in Tennessee and Jim Caldwell at Detroit. Smith and Whisenhunt had been head coaches before at the Chicago Bears and Arizona Cardinals, respectively. All eyes will be on the Houston Texansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; training camp this week to see if Johnson is really going to hold out like he has threatened to do all spring and summer. If Johnson does hold out during training camp and even the ďŹ rst regular-season game, history shows he will be sorely missed. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e Texans are 67-91 in games in which he has played and in the last two seasons he averaged 105 receptions for 1,500 yards. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien was quite adamant in his choosing of Ryan Fitzpatrick as Houstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 quarterback. What he saw was a 31-year old veteran who had replaced injured Jake Locker at Tennessee and ďŹ nished third in the NFL in red-zone passing with an amazing 110.5 rating. While at Tennessee last season Fitzpatrick threw eight touchdown passes without an interception and ran for three red-zone touchdowns. Fitzpatrick ranked fourth in the league on third-down conversions with a 103.4 rating by completing 60.8 per cent of his passes, throwing seven touchdowns and two interceptions. He averaged 8.43 yards per attempt. Texan fans also are excited about the defense under Romeo Crennel, who 3-4 scheme is quite diďŹ&#x20AC;erent than the 3-4 utilized last season by Wade Phillips, who claimed his 3-4 was closer to a 4-3 than the traditional two-gap 3-4 that Crennel uses. Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; philosophy was about

COLBURN ďŹ ve tournaments ďŹ shed. All three teams in the hunt for the grand prize have posted weights in each of the ďŹ rst four events so each of them will be looking to cull their lowest total thus far. Corey Sattler and Joe Peddy currently lead the Jordan team by a scant eight-one-hundredths of a pound with a 79. 75 total. Kevin and Michael Vaughan are right behind them with 78.92 pounds, but may well be in the best position of all three teams. Their total includes a 16.80 tournament that they can cull and make up that one pound difference by simply tying the leaders in the determining event. The bottom line is that it is going to be a shoot out and will make for an exciting final weigh-in! The trout were doing their thing as well prior to the rain, but it has been tough the past few days. As expected, the ship channel and jetties south of the Causeway have provided the most consistent bite on an outgoing tide. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how long it will take for the bite on the north end of the lake to improve, but I have been surprised many times over the years by how rapidly it recovers. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget about the Cops Helping Kids tournament set for this weekend. The Captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting kicks off Friday night at the Pt. Arthur Civic Center and

getting oďŹ&#x20AC; the ball, getting up the ďŹ eld and trying to create chaos. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e defensive linemen were responsible for one gap most of the time. Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; linemen were lighter because it was all about quickness. Crennel prefers linemen to be heavier because they must handle two gaps most of the time. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e Dallas Cowboysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goal this season is to end a four-year playoďŹ&#x20AC; drought. Quarterback Tony Romo appears healthy and ready for the task, but must do it with Scott Linehan, the passing coordinator and third play caller in four years for Romo. Romo has his same primary oďŹ&#x20AC;ensive weapons in running back DeMarco Murray, wide receiver Dez Bryant and tight end Jason Witten, but the big question mark this season appears to be the defense that has to replace often-injured linebacker Sean Lee, who is lost for the season, plus departed sacks specialists DeMarcus Ware and Jason Hatcher. If the Cowboys donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t improve on their 8-8 record they seem to attain every season, it could very well be the last season for Head Coach Jason Garrett. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e world champion Seattle Seahawks will have a hard time successfully defending their title after losing 10 players from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team, including six starters. And star running back Marshawn Lynch is having a problem with his contract, which could blossom into an unpleasant situation. No Super Bowl champ has repeated since the New England Patriots in 2003-2004. Ironically, the 2005 Patriots were the last defending NFL champion to even win a playoďŹ&#x20AC; game. Luckily, Head Coach Pete Carroll has a knack for ďŹ nding ways to keep his team constantly motivated, according to a column written last weekend by Larry Stone of the Seattle Times. He needs to come up with something that will help the 2014 Seattle Seahawks avoid that dreaded â&#x20AC;&#x153;Super Bowl jinx.â&#x20AC;? KWICKIESâ&#x20AC;Śî&#x20AC;&#x201C;is yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Texas High School Coaches Association and Coaching School being held this week in San Antonio has a new twist. For

the ďŹ rst time ever the high school coaches will not be able to hear lectures by prominent NCAA Division I coaches thanks to a new rule. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e NCAA, in its inďŹ nite wisdom, passed legislation in October prohibiting such staďŹ&#x20AC; members from attending an all-star game or any activities associated with any contests. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e NCAA is afraid a college coach might try to recruit one of these high school all-star football or basketball players who were selected to play during the coaching school. Fortunately this year the high school coaches will hear from some prominent speakers, two of whichâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;former Texas A&M head coach R.C. Slocum and former Houston

Texansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defensive coordinator Wade Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are native Orangeites. Also slated to speak were Hal Mumme, the coach at NAIA Belhaven University, plus former head coaches Spike Dykes (Texas Tech) and Jerry Moore (Appalachian State). Former Lufkin Hudson High School and Texas University star Brandon Belt is having a tough time this season with the injury bug. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e lanky San Francisco Giantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ďŹ rst baseman just returned after missing nearly two months of the season with a broken ďŹ nger. Now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headed for either a seven-day absence or a 15-day trip on the disabled list after suďŹ&#x20AC;ering a concussion when he was struck in the face while ďŹ elding grounders during

batting practice Saturday. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e Houston Astrosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; all-star second baseman Jose Altuve continues to amaze. He went into Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at Oakland with a .336 batting average and leads the major leagues with his .417 average (45-for-108) against left-handers. JUST BETWEEN USâ&#x20AC;ŚIt looks to this Korner that the golďŹ ng world has a new star who is emerging quite rapidly on the Pro Golf Tour in 25-year-old Rory McIlroy from Northern Ireland. McIlroy became the third youngest golfer in history (Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods were younger) to win three majors when he won last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s British Open. McIlroy is only the seventh player in golf history

to lead wire-to-wire in the event. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e last player to do it in the British Open was Tom Weiskopf in 1973. He also is only the second player from Northern Ireland to win the British Open at Royal Liverpool, long after Fred Daly won in 1947. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e victory not only increased young Roryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bank account by $1,665,788, but it also was very lucrative for his dad, Gerry, and three of Gerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends who placed a combined bet of 400 pounds (now $680) in 2004 on McIlroy winning the British Open before he turned 26. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e odds against winning were 500-1, so Gerry and his buddies look to collect 200,000 pounds ($340,000) or $85,000 each.

Continued from Page 1B will include raffles, door prizes and a steak dinner for every team entered in the event. Tony Viator says you can sign up as late as the Captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting, but signing up earlier will assure you of getting a gift pack as well!

Live bait choices make fishing in SE Texas plenty interesting

â&#x20AC;˘ 3B

CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE OUTDOORS WEEKLY For The Record No matter how hard lure manufacturers try, they will never be able to create a lure that works better than the real thing, period. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e typical proďŹ le of the weekend angler is not that of the high end trophy trout hunter who chunks artiďŹ cial lures for hours on end looking for one big ďŹ sh, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ďŹ sherman who takes a quart of live shrimp or a bucket of mud minnows and looks for anything that will bite. Much has been made of the big trout phenomenon and all the hoopla that surrounds that style of ďŹ shing; I personally have devoted plenty of articles to the subject as well as many days on the water. On the other hand I devoted plenty of time on the water ďŹ shing with live shad or mullet and I enjoy those trips just as much or maybe even more on occasion. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ere is something very calm and social about anchoring up in the mouth of a little bayou or in the river and peacefully anticipating the next bite for whatever species shows up next. Some of the best conversations I ever had with my son were on the back of boat as we sat ďŹ shed live bait. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e laid back mood associated with this style of ďŹ shing is a welcome change from the hectic world that we live in; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame that more anglers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t willing to participate for fear of their macho image being tarnished. I feel sorry for those folks because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what they are missing. Here in the Sabine area we are very fortunate to have such a great supply of free live bait, virtually anyone who can throw a cast net can catch enough bait to ďŹ sh without spending a dime. Most anglers who live here locally have no idea about how much money weekend anglers on other bay systems spend on live bait, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crazy. Live shrimp by the quart ranges anywhere from 12 to 20 dollars a quart! Now if you plan on ďŹ shing all day you probably will buy at least 3 quarts, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an extra of 40 to 60 dollars a trip on top of 2 dollar, a gallon gas prices. Anglers who ďŹ sh with guides on places like Calcasieu or Galveston bay not only pay guide fees but they also are expected to pay for the live bait as well, that price gets steep in a hurry. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many horror stories I have heard from anglers who went out with a guide and paid for live shrimp only to have the bait die half way through the trip due to a bad live well system or some other problem only to have to go back to the bait stand and by more shrimp. My wallet hurts just thinking about it all. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e other high dollar live bait that we really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have in this area is croaker, the big trout bait of choice on the lower coast. Live croaker cost around 6 dollars a dozen on average and will usually last all day with minimal care. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e live croaker as bait industry is a huge money making business, the numbers of live croaker sold on Saturday at the big bait camps are staggering. Many in the ďŹ shing community attribute the decline of the croaker to the emphasis on them as bait instead of a game ďŹ sh. Live croaker are lethal on trout in the summer, while ar-

Often there is nothing better than live bait for catching the big ones and some, like this shrimp, is plentiful and free.

tiďŹ cial only guides struggle to put together a decent box of ďŹ sh many â&#x20AC;&#x153;croaker guidesâ&#x20AC;? limit out in 2 or 3 hours and get back to the dock well before lunch. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ere have been plenty of cleaning table altercations surrounding this practice but regardless what some may think using croaker for bait is perfectly legal. While we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really have a consistent supply of live shrimp or croaker in our area we do have live bait that is every bit as good if not better, live shad. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e small pogies and menhaden that thrive in our waters are great baits for almost any and or all species of ďŹ sh that can be caught in our area either fresh or salt. Besides being readily available for those who can throw a cast net the best thing about them is that they are 100% free. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e summer months are tailor made for drifting shad under a cork or ďŹ shed along the bottom on a Carolina rig; both are popular methods and each works well. If there is a draw back to ďŹ shing shad itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their durability, shad are diďŹ&#x192;cult to keep alive for long periods if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay attention. Most anglers try to put too many shad in their live well; this is a recipe for disaster. All the shad in the same small space produce waste and deplete the oxygen in the water which usually kills all the shad really quick. In order to make the most of your shad donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put too many in your live well, change your live well water frequently, and keep the water in you live well cool by adding frozen water bottles or some other means. By taking a few extra precautions you can keep your bait fresh and lively for a really long time. Take a few minutes before you hit the water this month and make sure you have everything you need to be a successful live bait ďŹ sherman. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e little details can mean the diďŹ&#x20AC;erence between a great day on the water and one that would better forgotten.

NOTES

Fish are Friends, not Bait Two game wardens were patrolling the Navidad River checking for recreational fishing and water safety violations during a local catfish tournament when they found a trotline holding several blue catfish. They watched the trotline from a distance and later that afternoon, three fishermen returned to check their line and were greeted by the wardens. The fishermen were questioned and asked if they were using the catfish as bait, but the men denied baiting their line with the game fish. The wardens explained that

Bridge City Little League 10 Yr Old All-Stars, being undefeated in local and district play for the 2nd year in a row, went on to win the 2014 Section 2 Championship in Houston against Jacinto City and Tomball. They travel edto Tyler, July 19 to compete in State Level Competition. Pictured are (back row) Manager Todd Longron, Coach Hector Oceguera, and Coach Mike Garrett. (second row) Cooper Longron, Ethan Corkran, Reid Peco, Grant Metts, Ashton Landry, Deegan King, Macoy Marze, Ethan Oceguera, Trey Lovelace and Ethan Hart. (kneeling) Kaden Honeycutt, Gavin Garrett and Jude Danks.

Continued from Page 2B they had taken pictures of the catfish and the fishermen then admitted to baiting the trotline. The three men were issued citations for using game fish as bait. Bragging Brings Trouble A Zapata County game warden received information from a partner, who was fishing on his day off, about some bow fishermen who said they had shot an alligator gar and one black bass. The warden located the boat that was described and after a brief water safety check, he found multiple water safety violations along with one illegally taken

black bass. Cases and restitution pending. It Wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Me Two Taylor County game wardens received a call about a man at Lake Fort Phantom with undersized crappie. They began to patrol the lake and made contact with the man, who said he had caught a few fish but not many. A fish basket was located nearby that contained seven crappie- four of which were undersized. The man claimed he leaves his fish basket at that location and sometimes people generously leave fish in it for him. Citations were issued for undersized crappie.
