of Terry Road in Vidor. When he arrived he was told by Andrews, Peddy was intoxicated and he was about to lay ANDREWS down. She also told Harbison, “Everything was OK.” Harbison stated he returned to the residence about 9:40 p.m. on a disturbance call where he found Peddy deceased laying by the driveway in a fetal position.

“She told me she had shot him,” he said.

He added, Andrews also repeatedly told him, “she was sorry.”

According to court testimony, Andrews also told the officer she and Peddy had gotten into an altercation after he threw foundation blocks on her 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier

causing the front,rear and driver’s side windows to be smashed.

State exhibits entered into evidence were pictures which showed redness on her face, neck, and shoulder. Also admitted was a photo of her arm which showed abrasions.

However, a mug shot taken a few hours later does not show the red marks.

Texas Ranger Bobby Smith was the next to take the stand.

After Andrews was transported to the OCSO, Smith met with her and took a videotaped statement. At first, Andrews sobbed while she gave the statement. Then she gained her composure as she told of the events which unfolded over the course of the day.

Andrews stated on the day of the incident, Peddy had come to her house earlier on the premise of repairing her

muffler on her car. She had discovered he was drinking vodka when a bottle fell out of his pocket. From experience, she said she knew that was not a good thing and took him to his father’s house. Peddy returned later in the day still intoxicated. At first he was visting with other family members. But, he approached her when he wanted to talk about his relationship with her daughter. She didn’t think that was a good idea and told him no.

Later, court testimony would reveal, Andrews had been involved with Peddy in a

relationship. When the pair were together, they were said to be very openly affectionate.

But, on Andrews’ birthday in July, instead of attending her party he went to the beach with her daughter Jackie Ezell.

They soon began dating and he ended the relationship with Andrews.

“Her feelings were hurt,” said Kailee Hunt, 21, who lived at the residence.

Ezell, called the residence and Andrews told her Peddy was there.

Ezell, concerned about her mother, called for police to go check on her mother at the

residence which set of the deadly chain of events.

“I really didn’t think my daughter would call the law,” she said. “I mean, that’s her boyfriend.”

Andrews said Peddy became angry when he was told the officers were there for him. Andrews attempted to make him lay down again, but failed.

After the police were called, he became angry and the situation began to escalate.

Peddy had gone outside and began hitting her vehicle with the foundation blocks. She atANDREWS Page 3A

BC coach ‘Chief’ Wilson dies at 85 Gabriel Pruett For The Record

H.W. “Chief” Wilson, the state championship coach of the Bridge City Cardinals, died at the age of 85 Monday in College Station.

Wilson and the Cardinals won the 3A state championship in 1966, a year after being defeated in the title game.

Bridge City defeated McKinney, 30-6, in 1966 to win the Cardinals only football state championship in school history. The Cardinals went 13-1 in 1966 and Bridge City’s only loss was against Nederland.

Bridge City was 11-2-1 in 1965 and lost to Brownwood in the title game, 14-0.

Wilson coached the Cardinals from 1962 until 1973 and his best years were lumped together with three-time allstate running back Steve Worster. Worster went on to star at the University of Texas after rushing for nearly 5,500 yards while at Bridge City.

Wilson’s coaching career began back in 1952 under Bum Phillips at Nederland High School. Phillips, a native of Orange, went on to coach in the college level and also coached the Houston Oilers and New Orleans Saints in the NFL. His son Wade Phillips is currently the defensive coordinator for the Houston Tex-

Wilson stayed on with the Bulldogs through 1957. That year was the first time Wilson would taste a state championship as Nederland won the 4A crown under Emmitt McKenzie.

Wilson and Phillips’ paths crossed again in 1958 as both coached in Jacksonville while in 1959 Wilson followed Phillips to coach in Amarillo.

Longtime Bridge City coach and educator Troy Woodall got his start under Wilson in 1964. Woodall stayed with the Cardinals until his retirement in 2004.

Auditors, court reporters seek 10 percent raise Penny Leleux For The Record

The Orange County Auditor, Mary Johnson, and her staff, assistant auditors and offical court reporters are seeking a 10 percent raise.

A hearing will be held at noon on August 14 in the 260th District Court jury room for the purpose of the consideration of setting the compensation.

According to Johnson, it is the district judges who decide what her pay will be and who initially hired her. Then it was up to her to hire her staff.

Commissioners are required by law to accept into the county budget whatever the district judges decide for compensation.

“By law, they are supposed to set the salary,” Johnson said. “All of the salaries will be published when they are adoopted.”

Johnson and her staff are eligible for annual salary raises and will have to go through the hearing process each time.

The county’s fiscal year begins

FEMA key topic of commissioners Penny Leleux For The Record

Oct. 1 and budget workshops are looming Last year on Sept. 12, commissioners’ court voted to freeze elected officials salaries for one year, including Sheriff Keith Merritt, though he makes less than his chief deputy.

Sept.18, 2012 commissioners informed departments that had not offered up any voluntary cuts to slash three percent of their budget, not including payroll. “The commissioners have done all they can to date with the things in the budget they have control of,” said Thibodeaux last year. They have already told departments that went over their budget this year, they will have to come before the court to justify those expenses Orange County will be facing tough decisions again and currently are in negotiations with the sheriff’s deputies’ union, but salaries of the auditor’s department and court reporters will not be one of them.

“It unfortunate,” said Thibodeaux, but that is one area of the budget the court has no control over.

There was much discussion in commissioners’ court regarding a request from Henry Stevenson concerning the levee for property owned

by Parkwood Land Company in the vicinity of the Neches River and I-10 bridge be grandfathered from requirements outlined in the Orange County Flood Prevention Order. The levee is over 100 years old and has been grandfathered by the Corps of Engineers. The problem is they haven’t been able to get a straight answer from FEMA as to how it would affect Orange County obtaining flood insurance. The levee predates FEMA and the flood prevention order. That plait of land was used as a staging area when the Highway 90 bridge was built in the 1950s and for the current I-10 bridge. “It’s a stone’s throw from the I-10 bridge,” said Chuck Tibler, attorney for Stevenson.

Stevenson received a letter from the Corps of Engineers in 2007 authorizing him to repair the levee, bringing it back to its original state.

go up or “worse case scenario, they could pull the plug on the program for a violation against their rules.”

Assistant County Attorney Doug Manning suggested commissioners table the matter till next week so he has a chance to study the situation.

“The problem you keep having with FEMA is that we can’t get a commitment from FEMA to say yay or nay... we are between a rock and a hard place. They leave it upon us to decide whether or not to grandfather it, but then they won’t tell us whether or not that is going to effect us down the road when we have the next hurricane or whatever and homes get flooded. They’re taking a wait and see attitude.”

“I’d like to bundle the whole thing up and send it to FEMA and say here’s an opinion,” said Manning Commissioner Precinct 4 Jody Crump asked Manning, “Hasn’t that already been done?”

Tibler said he went to FEMA to get the property taken out of the flood plain. “They could not produce to us the survey documents for our engineer to review.

“Your grandfathers and greatgrandfathers, perhaps, helped build that levee,” he said. Tibler said if mechanical means were used to build the levee, it would have been a steam shovel. “No one owned a Model T, because a Model T hadn’t been built yet. That’s how long that levee has been in place.”

Erosion in some parts of the levee has brought it from its original 13 feet down to 11 feet. Mr. Stevenson wants to have the levee grandfathered as a pre-existing condition so he can repair it to its original condition, so it will have the same structural integrity it had 100 years ago.

Thirteen feet is well above the 100 year flood plan according to Tibler.

Documents show the levee was in place well before the flood plain ordinance was put in place in any of its forms.

Joel Ardion, county code and compliance, said FEMA is still saying they can’t bring fill in there. Ardoin told the court they had the authority, “however, if you don’t follow their rules, you get penalized for that.” Ardoin said flood insurance rates could

a Master’s Degree while studying in Auckland, Australia.

Finally, he went to the University of New Orleans to work on his PhD where he is now at the Nekton Research Lab. The first chapter in his PhD studies has included his tagging of nine bull sharks.

There were also 90 receivers

placed around Lake Ponchatrain which will send a signal each time one of the sharks passes through the area.

His studies have also included the taking of blood and pieces of their fins for additional research.

“Bull sharks are one of the few species that can move

ther expand our existing service department to allow us to fully service all heavy duty vehicles,” Wilmore said. “The QuickLane and the expansion of our existing service department will provide a limitless amount of service that we will be able to provide to customers with all make and models.”

Other than major service department upgrades, they will also be completely renovating the showroom and delivery areas to provide a state-of-the art experience for all customers.

This will include a fully enclosed, air conditioned delivery area that will be fully protected from the outside elements.

A new parts area, business development area and two new relaxing customer waiting areas will be built as well.

Headed up by Ron Cleveland Construction, the construction on the two lots will cover around 42,000 square feet but should not affect any of the roads in the immediate vicinity.

This expansion will not only feature the latest Ford Design elements, but it will also provide the dealership the opportunity to double the amount of inventory to provide the best selection of Ford vehicles in the area. The expansion could also affect the number of employees at David Self Ford.

“We currently employee around 45, but with the expansion we are looking to significantly bump that number up,” sail Wilmore.

While the construction should be wrapped up by the second quarter of 2014, the David Self team has been granted the opportunity to bring Volkswagen back to the Lake Charles, La. market.

“This exciting new adventure has been a plan for David for the last couple of years,” said Wilmore. “We will simultaneously be in the building/launch process of a 30,000 square foot Volkswagen building during the renovation of the Ford store in Orange.”

freely from saltwater to fresh,” Davis said.

A Shark Week producer heard about his work with Bull Sharks and approached Davis about being on the program.

However, on the show which features Davis, there won’t be any dramatic scenes involving him battling a shark. Instead, he will show the true science behind his work and what drives him to continue. Davis added, he has never been attacked in the waters of Lake Ponchatrain.

“They have been here much longer than we have and the best way to understand them and in turn protect them is to learn more about them,” Davis said. “This is the premise of what I’m trying to do.”

The bull shark, Carcharhinus leucas, is a shark commonly found worldwide in warm, shallow waters along coasts and in rivers. The bull shark is known for its aggressive nature, predilection for

tempted to stop him but in her statement told officers he pushed and hit her. She also stated Peddy had never hit her before.

Andrews said she repeatedly told him to stop destroying her vehicle.

She went into her house and retrieved a .22 rifle which had been kept loaded behind her bedroom door and went back out onto the porch.

“When I went to get the gun, I wasn’t going to shoot him. I just wanted to scare him,” Andrews said. “All I wanted was

for him to just leave.”

When Peddy saw the rifle, he dared her to shoot him.

Andrews stated Peddy began coming towards her and she just “started shooting.”

Andrews fired three shots.

Witnesses testified the shots were only seconds apart. But, Andrews in her taped statement said she first fired a “warning shot.” The first shell casing was found near the front door. The other closer to the railing of the porch. The third shell casing was found a few months later on the porch.

“I was just trying to get him to quit destroying my car,” Andrews said.

According to evidence and court testimony by pathologist Dr. Robert Lyon, Peddy was shot in the heart by a single bullet which also penetrated his spine. His blood alcohol level was 0.261 and he had a small amount of diazepam, a muscle relaxant, in his system.

Orange County Assistant District Attorney Cory Kneeland, used a tape measure to show jurors how far Andrews was from Peddy when she shot him. Peddy was about 35 feet

away from the side of the porch when the gun was fired.

‘I didn’t mean to kill him. I loved him,” Andrews said in the recorded statement. “But, I didn’t love his ways.”

Kailee Hunt was at the residence when the incident occurred. She testified she had called 9-1-1 when the incident began before Andrews got the gun. A recorded call was played in court. She pleaded with the dispatcher to send help.

“Please hurry, please!” she cried.

A few minutes later Andrews entered the house and put the gun back behind her door in her bedroom.

Paul Arceneaux, investigator for the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, testified there were five live rounds remaining in the gun when it was found.

Andrews staggered to the chair in the living room and sat down. She began to sob and said she had shot Peddy, according to court testimony.

Hunt, still on the phone with dispatchers reluctantly went outside to check on Ped-

beyond oceans and U.S. coasts to the bayous of Louisiana.

Nicknamed ‘Voodoo Sharks’ by local shrimp fishermen, these Bull Sharks have extraordinary ability and show up by the hundreds in the bayous of Louisiana.

There are many a fishermen who have encountered these dominant and startling predators in the shallow Louisiana waters.

But, while Bull Sharks in the Bayou are a known phenomenon, locals tell of an even larger shark lurking in swamps, which leaves them pondering if what they encounter is the phantom shark ,the stuff of Cajun legend, or wonder if the waters hold a brand new species.

When Davis is not at work, he spends his time at the beach relaxing. Although, his idea of relaxation may be different, especially if he spots a shark fin on the horizon.

Shark Week on the Discovery Channel began Sunday and will continue through Saturday.

dy who was gasping for air.

“I was afraid he would get up and attack me,” Hunt said.

She heard emergency personnel coming and didn’t check on Peddy any further.

Hunt said on the stand Peddy had a tire iron in his hand when he was fighting with Andrews, but no tire iron was found at the scene by investigators.

The state and the defense attorney, Greg Dumas, rested Tuesday afternoon.

Dumas called one witness to the stand. Sandra MooreTurner told jurors she never saw Peddy “lay a finger” on anybody in the house.

During a visit to the Orange County Jail in February, on a recorded line, Andrews told Turner, she would make a good witness and should mention how they feared for their lives.

Closing arguments will begin at 9 a.m. Wednesday. The case will then go the jury of six women and three men for deliberations.

If convicted of the first degree murder charges, Andrews faces up to 99 years or life in prison.

warm shallow water, and presence in brackish and freshwater systems including estuaries and rivers.

Since the bull shark who can thrive in both types of water, it has the ability to travel far up rivers. They have even been known to travel as far up as Kentucky in the Ohio River, although there have been few recorded freshwater attacks.

They are probably responsible for the majority of near-shore shark attacks, including many attacks attributed to other species.

“They are beautiful swimmers,” Davis said.

But, Bull Sharks easily dominate the waters.

Bull sharks are large and stout, with females being larger than males. The baby bull sharks, neonates, can be up to 2.66 ft in length at birth. Adult female bull sharks average 7.9 feet long and typically weigh about 290 pounds, whereas the slightly smaller adult male

averages 7.4 ft and weighs about 210 pounds. There has also been reports of a female shark being recorded as 13 feet in length and weighing 690 pounds, according to the National Geographic.

A bull shark’s diet consists mainly of bony fish and sharks, including other bull sharks, but can also include turtles, birds, dolphins, terrestrial mammals, crustaceans, echinoderms, and stingrays.

They hunt in murky waters because it is harder for the prey to see the shark coming.

Bull sharks have been known to use the bump-and-bite technique to attack their prey.

Since bull sharks often dwell in very shallow waters, they may be more dangerous to humans than any other species of shark, and along with the tiger shark, oceanic whitetip and great white shark, are among the four shark species most likely to attack humans, according to National Geographic.

The Discovery Channel Series will investigate Bull Shark populations which have moved

Coach Wilson than any of the players were in the early years,” Woodall said. “I have always been Coach Wilson’s biggest fan. He gave me my first job and I was always appreciative of him for that. He was the best coach I have ever been around.”

Woodall was with Wilson long enough to see the coach’s

legend grow through the years in Bridge City.

“I remember one time he took me over to Austin to see the Longhorns spring practice,” Woodall said. “Right when he walked in the door they marched Coach Wilson and myself back to Coach Darrell Royal’s office.”

Woodall recalled Wilson’s

attention to discipline as being the coach’s strong point both on and off the field.

“He expected the players to do what he asked them to do and he also expected the same out of his assistant coaches,” Woodall said. “It all worked out for the best. Off the field he had the same mentality.

There was always a right and there was always a wrong. And if Coach Wilson said it, you could believe it.”

Wilson did not coach again in high school after leaving the Cardinals in 1973. Wilson is an inductee in the Texas High School Coaches Association Hall of Honor and he served as president of the organization.

Joe Chenella worked along side Wilson at Bridge City High School. Chenella was a teacher at the time of the state championship and then became assistant principal shortly there after while Wilson headed into the classroom to teach special education.

“He was a great gentleman,” Chenella said. “He had a great coaching staff through those years and had a great network of people he could call upon for help when he needed it. I think that was one of the keys to his success.

“Chief was just a great guy and it is a great loss to the Bridge City family. My prayers are with his family in this time of loss. He had a lot great friends. He was a man of his word. We lost a truly great leader Monday.”

Wilson is survived by his wife of 61 years, Ramona; his son Rusty Wilson; daugthers Monica Jaynes and Renae Vargo; nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

Brownsville. On average the east coast gets hit every other year, the gulf coast once every year. The forecast comes from a new computer model, “The Hurricane Genesis and Outlook” dubbed “HUGO Project.” In addition to the seasonal outlook, the new model system will also predict the track and intensity of any incoming hurricane five days away from landfall, much the same as the National Weather Center does now. However, the HUGO model system will provide specific data on likely storm surge and inundation as a hurricane approaches, including time, location and likely water depth along the coastline.

My belief is that if a storm enters the Gulf it will make landfall to the point of least resistance. It’s sucked into where the lowest pressure is. High pressure blocks a storm. For that reason I don’t see a hurricane coming to our part of the Gulf this season.

COACH “CHIEF” WILSON REMEMBERED H.W. “Chief” Wilson, coach at Bridge City from 1962 to 1973, died Sunday at age 86. Chief and his Cardinal squad played for the state championship in 1965 and won it in 1966. A player he developed, Steve Worster, became an All American high school player and also All American at the University of Texas. Chief quit coaching after his 1973 season. He felt strongly that this was the team that would return Bridge City to a state championship.

Only one team from each district could advance and West Orange beat Bridge City in the last game of the season.

Bridge City had a 14-14 tie with Jasper and that tie knocked the Cardinals out of the playoffs. B.C. had done the same to undefeated West Orange in 1972. The pay back hurt.

Chief took a job created for him at B.C. for a few years.

On a personal note, we knew Chief well away from football. I’m not sure if Chief was a journalism student at SFA but he loved the newspaper business. When it wasn’t football season Chief would occasionally hang out till about 10 p.m. on Monday night at the Opportunity Valley Newspaper and watch us put the paper together. It was quite different in those days than it is today. We printed on Tuesday morning.

It was no surprise to me that Chief requested no obituary or visitation, just a simple funeral to be held Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2 p.m. in College Station. It is typical Wilson, simple, no frills. His death however, affects more people than Chief could have imagined. Mark Dunn, who was a three year player for Coach Wilson and was on his last 1973 team, says Chief started the Fellowship of Christian Athletes in area high schools. I believe there are still a couple hundred former players left in the area, including many off the state’s championship teams. Jim Crossland, coach at LC-M, and Chief had coached together for Bum Phillips at different schools. Bum and Chief were teammates at SFA. Crossland also was fond of newspapers and for several years wrote a column for the OVN. He joined Chief and introduced the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at LC-M. Chief Wilson was a quite man. A native of Orangefield, he played high school football at Stark High and often walked home to Orangefield after football practice. Don’t miss Gabe Pruett’s feature story on this good man. He and Steve put Bridge City On the map.

SHUTTING GOVERNMENT DOWN--DUMB AND DELUSIONAL The United States Congress is on vacation this week.

Before leaving they accomplished absolutely nothing besides wasting time again voting to repeal the health reform law. They simply chewed up valuable hours they could have put to better use. Unless the law is defunded, they will block a measure to keep the government operating after Sept. 30. That’s a delusional threat doomed to failure. Also as a matter of public relations, a Republican induced government shutdown would spook the financial markets, hurt a still fragile economy and a GOP inspired shutdown would wound the party’s brand. A new poll shows the Republican led congress with a low eight percent approval. For all their demands for repeal, congressional Republicans have never produced a creditable alternative. The congress should have been working to improve the Affordable Care Act rather than wanting to shut down the government. Sen. Ted Cruz and his dozen allies are desperate to stop reform before it goes into effect Oct. 1. Because once the people find out it’s not the freedomrobbing boogieman they have been selling, it will be too late. Obama Care might actually become popular. Even though the law is far from perfect, it’s much better than doing nothing. Obama Care will insure that 50 million people with no health care will be covered. The “doughnut hole” for six million seniors will be closed. The law protects people with pre-existing conditions, plus 17.6 million children. Under Obama Care parents can keep their college age and young adult children on their insurance until they reach 26 years of age. It’s been proven in the long run that Obama Care will actually save money.

Ted Cruz and about a dozen of his followers and the 60 Tea Party members in congress, including Sen. Steve Stockman, are pushing to “defund or else.” Republican Rep. Tom Cole says “Shutting down the government will cost the Republicans the majority in the house.” Sen. Richard Burr--R says, “It’s the dumbest idea I had ever heard.” Sen. John McCain--R declared, “Most Americans are really tired of those kinds of shenanigans. It’s the wrong way to run a government and very dysfunctional.”

When the congress returns they will have only nine days to raise the federal debt limit or cause a government shut down that will hurt everyone from the soldier to the senior citizen, who lives on monthly checks. Time will tell if the radicals will engage in hostage taking attempts.

A FEW HAPPENINGS Last week right at press time we learned that former Bridge City Councilman Joe Raburn had passed away, we were able to get his passing in this column but that was all.

Joe was a good man; community minded and came into the life of Lou when she really needed someone. Joe was the perfect mate and friend to Lou and her family. Joe was laid to rest last week. His obituary appears in this issue.

3. Requiring drug testing for unemployment benefits Good news! Recent changes in federal law allow states to require drug-testing for claimants of unemployment insurance under certain circumstances. Therefore, this legislative session we passed a bill amending the Texas Unemployment Compensation Act by adding a drug-testing eligibility requirement for applicants to receive unemployment compensation benefits.

Claimants who refuse drug testing or fail such tests would be barred from receiving unemployment insurance benefits until the individual passes a test at least four weeks after the date of the failed test.

4. Cutting business taxes Just before the end of the regular session, the Legislature passed over $1.3 billion in business tax cuts which should go a long way in helping to sustain Texas’ great economic climate. This included a permanent franchise tax exemption for small businesses with revenue less than $1 million.

For most other businesses, it’s a 2.5 percent rate reduction in fiscal year 2014 and a 5 percent reduction in fiscal year 2015.

As a former manufacturer and business owner, I can tell you how helpful this is and how it helps to spur economic growth. As Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said, passing the franchise tax proposal “sends a clear message that we are

Joseph O’Hare was in charge of coordinating the City of Boston’s ambulance service to the site of the bombing. From the unified command area, he and his co-workers had already initiated the disaster communications plan.

O’Hare has been a registered EMT for more than 35 years. He worked in the private sector as an EMT and a paramedic for 13 years, and began working for the City of Boston 1991. He was promoted to deputy superintendent in 2006, and assumed command of dispatch operations in 2008.

O’Hare’s department processes 110,000 calls for service each year. They also provide radio communications between ambulances and hospitals in the region. The Boston area Ambulance Mutual Aid network, an implementation of O’Hare’s department, provides direct communications between Boston EMS and regional partners. All of this proved valuable during the Boston Marathon bombing.

From 8 a.m. to noon on Sept.

5, Capt. Dupuis and O’Hare

will put on a continuing education program for area first responders at the LIT MultiPurpose Center. First responders who wish to register for the course should call the LIT Regional Police Academy at (409) 880-8022.

The Salute to Real American Heroes celebrates area first responders and active military.

The event raises scholarship monies for the LIT Foundation. The scholarships are awarded to outstanding students in the Regional Police Academy, the Regional Fire Academy, homeland security, emergency medical technology and criminal justice programs.

Dinner will be provided by the Cooks 2 Doz. + Inc., and is sponsored by the Sabine Area Restaurant Association.

Tickets are $50 each, and admission is free to active uniformed personnel and their spouses.

Reservations are required.

You may reserve a table or buy tickets by visiting the LIT Web site at www.lit.edu, or calling (409) 839-2956.

committed to sustaining the country’s best climate for job creation.”

5. Funding for State Water Plan Finally, I wanted to let you know that the Legislature passed a bill and joint resolution this session to fund the State Water Plan. Specifically, HB 4 will create the State Water Implementation Fund of Texas (SWIFT) to provide a fund to finance projects in the State Water Plan.

There seems to be a growing consensus that Texas must address the need for long-term water planning and projects.

As increasing numbers of people move to our great state, there is a growing gap between the projected demand for water, and the amount of the resource available. SWIFT will put an emphasis on conservation, reuse and rural projects.

HB 4 is paired with SJR 1, a constitutional amendment which will appear on November ballots to be voted up or down. The choice ultimately will belong to the citizens of Texas.

Boston Marathon bombings first responders to speak at LIT Salute to Real American Heroes

First responders from the Boston Marathon bombings in April will be the guest speakers at the Lamar Institute of Technology Foundation’s Salute to Real American Heroes at 6 p.m. on Sept. 5.

Capt. Raymond Dupuis from the Watertown Police Department in Watertown, Mass., and Joseph O’Hare, deputy supervisor of the dispatch operations for Boston Emergency Medical Services, will speak at the annual fund-raiser.

The Watertown Police Department was very involved with the pursuit and eventual capture of the bombing suspects, from the shootout in the early morning hours of April 19 to the capture of the younger Tsarnaev brother that same evening. Capt. Dupuis was one of the first officers on the scene when the Watertown Police Department captured bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

He has been a police officer for 30 years, having been promoted to captain in 2000. In the past 13 years as second in command at the Watertown Police Department, he has been in charge of the Bureau of Field Operations, the Patrol Division, Traffic Division and the Public Safety Dispatchers.

Donna Myers Tynes Orange Donna Lynn Myers Tynes, a loving mother, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin, and friend, died Thursday, Aug. 1, 2013.

Family surrounded her as she let loose her grasp on their hands and fell into the arms of the Father. Also, there to greet her on the other side were those who had gone before her - Freddy, her dad, her grandparents and many loving uncles and aunts.

Donna was born on Galveston Island. That gritty sand and salty air got into her soul to develop her personality. She loved lying in the sun, listening to the waves, while gossiping with her family on annual beach trips. And, like a jellyfish, she could give a painful sting if you upset, threatened or frightened her!

She loved her family dearly!

Her Mama, Bobbie, spoiled her as a child then paid for that into adulthood! Bobbie loved her Donna and Donna loved her Mama. The two were alike in many ways, which lead to the normal mama-daughter strife, but in the end, those similarities bonded them together for eternity! Donna always said that there wasn’t a thing that her mama couldn’t “tend to.” She always asked Bobbie for her opinion. Donna may not have always liked what Bobbie said, but she always wanted to know what Bobbie thought! Donna was very lucky to have Bobbie holding her as she entered and left this world!

The relationship between Donna and her daughter Amber was one of those things that prove God has a sense of humor!

Their love was as strong as their personalities and they butted heads from time to time. But, they were always sure of the love they shared and very thankful for each other. Amber grew up with a lifetime of practical jokes pulled by Donna. But she also received those life lessons that only a mother can teach a child.

In the end, Amber cared for, nurtured and gave the most important medicine a person battling illness needs, the healing gift of presence. Donna was always proud of the person that Amber was, and prouder still of the person that Amber will become!

Every little girl needs a daddy!

Donna was lucky to have two in her life! Freddy carried her through the first half of her life.

After Freddy’s death, Kenneth stepped up to carry her through the second half. Donna loved Kenneth for all he was! She loved to fuss with him but she always knew that no matter what, Kenneth would be there for her.

Sisters are often first best friends, but not always best friends at first! Donna was not happy when little sister Lisa entered the picture but she grew to enjoy Lisa’s company, if only for the sheer entertainment value!

When Donna was not conspiring ways to take Lisa out of the picture, she was honing her practical joke skills with Lisa as the target! Donna taught Lisa many things in life such as how to have quick reflexes, how to sleep with one eye open, and how to retain your dignity even though someone may have cut the ribbon on your dress, or cut v’s into your fingernails as you slept! Most of all, Donna taught Lisa about the love of a sister and how strength and patience are qualities that will serve you well in life. Those skills served Lisa well as she tended to Donna over the past few months. Donna, understandably, never wanted to be alone as she battled her illness.

When the going grew tough and the time grew small, Lisa was Donna’s first choice for companionship and care.

Clyde was the love of Donna’s life! The love he shared with Donna was true and she never for one minute doubted it. Clyde will grieve her loss for the rest of his life. For the times when it seems like too much to bear, he will be able to remember Donna reaching out to him, caressing his cheeks, and saying, “Straighten that face!” in a tone that meant business! And, he will take some measure of comfort in knowing that Donna is “OK” now.

Donna also had two other men in her life! She was always so proud of her nephews John and Jared. She always enjoyed hearing of John’s travels, which is ironic because she sometimes became disoriented if she ventured too far off Horseshoe Bend. Jared enjoyed spending time with Donna and sharing his activities and became her personal “mail man” bringing her mail daily for which she would always offer up her pocket change.

Donna was also fortunate to have a set of aunts from whom she inherited many good and some “not-so-good” traits! That Coulter blood coursed through her veins right up until her final heart beat! From the time Donna was born to the time she died, her aunts, Ginner, Eddie, Emma, Pat, and Lynn were examples of the value of a surrogate mother’s love! They treated Donna as one of their own often to her benefit and sometimes to her detriment! Many of them, along with Donna’s cousin Deana and her sister-in-law Janie, took an active role in her treatment. They spent many hours over the last several months transporting Donna to and from treatment as well as staying with her both at the hospital and her house. Their love for Donna was definitely felt and appreciated!

Donna spent over thirty years caring for patients as a nurse at St. Elizabeth Hospital. Her patients were lucky, their families were grateful, and Donna’s coworkers were always entertained when she was on the unit. Donna was an awesome nurse not because of what she learned in the classroom; truth be told, she feared she would fail in nursing school and never really thought she would be a nurse. What made Donna awesome at her vo-

7A

cation was her compassion and work ethic.

Donna would want you to remember always that the tears on your cheek today, and in the future, are evidence of the love that will forever be in your heart. Shed a tear if you must, but then take time to laugh and remember all the time you shared with Donna.

Remember her when you’re cutting the grass, because Donna always jokingly said that when she retired, she would go into the lawn business with her sister Lisa, funny how you seem capable of solving the problems of the world while sitting on a John Deere tractor! Also, smile and think of Donna whenever you are greeted at Wal-Mart. Donna loved her shopping trips there and when you see that familiar smiley of “falling prices”, think of Donna grinning at you! Think of Donna whenever you see a cat, because you know the love she had for her furry children, Sammy and Billie Jean. Whenever you’re baking, take a deep breath of the sweet aroma and recall how Donna loved to bake and then eat the sweet fruits of her labor!

Donna was very thankful for the staff and physicians of MD Anderson Cancer Center. Their level of care, compassion, and empathy provided her with the treatment and hope needed when someone is battling such an insidious disease. She was also so very thankful for family members, aunts and cousins, and friends who gave so much time and offered so many prayers over the last several months. She would especially like to thank her cousin Millette, who took time off from her work at MD Anderson to visit and went above and beyond to assist the nursing staff in meeting Donna’s needs.

In lieu of flowers or food, please make memorial contributions in the name of Donna Tynes to the American Cancer Society and the Humane Society of Southeast Texas.

‘THE RECORD’ HOMETOWN HIGHLIGHTS

Gridiron squads hit the heat for 2013 We meet again sports fans Gabe Pruett

For The Record

“Back in business and ain’t it grand.” Those words were put together

by Janis Siegel for the Dick Tracy movie starring Warren Beatty.

First let me say a huge thank you to both Mark Dunn and Roy Dunn for wasting no time in getGabe Pruett ting me back to where I truly belong, behind a computer writing about Orange County sports. No more than four hours had gone by when I had agreed to put some stories together for The Record were these words flowing like a fine wine, or a Sprite for those of you who are under 21.

So are you ready for some high school football? And we never ever forget our girls on the volleyball courts, mainly because even though I know she loves me I have always been scared of BC Coach Becca Peveto.

Now lets get started talking some sports.

It is hard to believe football season officially kicked off this past Monday with teams hitting the practice fields for every player’s favorite words, two-a-days.

I spent an hour or so at Bridge City High School with the Cardinals and it was busi-

‘There will be a lot more over the coming weeks and I can guarantee you both The Record and myself are looking forward to one of the best football seasons we each have had in years.’ ness as usual with your hometown Redbirds.

Coach Cris Stump was his usual self with jokes about freshmen and throwing a joke at yours truly for waiting until afternoon to visit the team.

Stump’s Cardinals looked to be in pretty decent shape for the first day of practice yet there was of course the one glaring injury everyone in Texas seems to talk about when talking about the Cardinals.

Running back Ashton Hunter will miss the football season due to a knee injury but don’t think for a minute Hunter was not ready to help out on Monday.

Hunter was at practice and assisting the coaches as much as he could. It was good to see and talk to Hunter because a lot of players become injured and basically that is the end of it. Hunter seems to be using his time wisely and is still trying to do anything he can to help Bridge City reach the playoffs.

Speaking of playoffs this year will be the first year the 3A level will take four playoff teams to the postseason.

This can be both a good and bad thing for us in the media. It should bring quite the dogfight for the final two playoff spots in District 21-3A. We of course are taking Silsbee and West Orange-Stark to finish first and second in the district standings.

Third and fourth in my predictions will be Orangefield and Bridge City, meaning three Orange County teams will make the playoffs out of 21-3A. We will highlight Coach Josh Smalley and Orangefield next week.

This week though we are taking it slow and getting back into the groove of actually writing sports. There will be a lot more to read over the coming weeks and I can guarantee you both The Record and myself are looking forward to one of the best football seasons we each have had in years.

As I wrap up this introduction piece I want to also take the time to say thank you to those who have reached out to me over the last couple of weeks. I came to realize how many friends I made through the years and your kind words are more than appreciated.

Now I will live up to my part and bring readers my sometimes unique perspective on high school sports in our area.

Check out this week’s feature on the Cardinals and get ready because football season is here and I have not been this motivated in many years to bring all the stories to you readers.

Wanted: Cardinals want a playoff win Gabe Pruett

For The Record

Cris Stump’s Cardinals have done what no Bridge City team has done in its history. The Bridge City Cardinals made the playoffs last year for the fourth time in four years, something never done before in Cardinal Country.

So why are the Cardinals not satisfied one bit?

Bridge City is 0-4 in the bidistrict round the last four years meaning zero playoff wins for the Cardinals.

Setting goals for 2013 were pretty easy when it came time this past offseason. The Cardinals first want to win the district championship and then win in the playoffs.

Bridge City will have to do so with a bunch of players who have varsity experience yet are playing this year in new positions.

Example being Chase Shugart. Shugart will step in after playing safety last year as a sophomore and will be the team’s starting quarterback as a junior.

Jonah Lemoine will also have new responsibilities and big shoes to fill as this year’s starting running back. Lemoine got the nod after Ashton Hunter suffered a seasonending knee injury.

Stump has liked what he has seen so far from Lemoine.

“What I have noticed is Jonah was here all summer long and participating in drills,” Stump said. “He is really taking on the new job he has on the team and has accepted his role.”

Lemoine comes in a year after Hunter rushed for nearly 1,400 yards as a junior last year with 14 touchdowns.

Two offensive linemen really stood out Monday at the

start of practice due to their size and experience. Stump will rely on both Jordan Schamber and Jackson Roberts to anchor the offensive line as both are over six feet tall and weigh about 250 pounds.

Schamber will also be a key guy at defensive tackle along with Josh Henry who will be at defensive end.

The defense will have a real familiar name for Cardinals fans yet he also has a new position. Hunter Uzzle will move to middle linebacker, replacing three-year starter Zach Cole who will play at Southwestern University this fall.

“The beauty is none of these guys are new to Friday nights,” Stump said “In January or February these guys all said they want to be around in the second or third round.

We might be the only people who believe in that goal but we like it that way.”

Stump also said outsiders are also the only ones wor-

ried about the injury to Hunter.

“There is no question we would love to have him in pads and on the field,” Stump added. “The rest of the team has had time to adjust and have been reading how everyone all of a sudden thinks we will be 2-8 without him. That has put a chip on their shoulder.”

District 21-3A, along with the rest of the 3A ranks, will send four teams to the playoffs this year. Bridge City isn’t thinking that far ahead just yet and has its eyes set on the district title first.

This year’s group of players have been with Stump his entire seven years in Bridge City, meaning they are a part of his system and program.

“I do a lot less hollering at players these days that is for sure,” Stump said. “For most of these guys this is the only program they know. They know they have to earn the right to be a part of this team and be a part of Bridge City’s

history. It is not only last year or the three years before that.

We are talking since 1966 and being a Cardinal. They want that and they want to make this city proud.”

Bridge City opens the year Aug. 30 versus 2A No. 1 Newton. District 21-3A play starts Sept. 27 versus Buna.

A&M hires law firm for Johnny Manziel Sttaff Report For The Record

The law firm that helped keep Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton eligible during the 2010 season at Auburn has been hired by Texas A&M to do the same with Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel.

Texas A&M senior associate athletic director Jason Cook confirmed an earlier USA TODAY Sports report that the school has retained

the services of Birmingham law firm Lightfoot, Franklin and White as legal counsel on the matter. Lightfoot is the same firm that represented Auburn during the Cam Newton investigation, which surfaced during the 2010 season but did not result in formal allegations. Newton never sat out any games during the investigation into allegations that his father had sought payment from Mississippi State to deliver his son to that school.

Hiring Lightfoot represents the first major move by the school that would indicate it plans to fight for Manziel’s eligibility in the wake of allegations that surfaced Sunday in an Outside the Lines report that he had agreed to sign autographs in exchange for a five-figure payment. The allegation, which was made by two unnamed people who claim to be aware of the arrangement, would be a violation of NCAA rules.

When the Houston Astros hired Bo Porter as their new manager less than a month after the 2012 major league season ended, he was ecstatic—almost like walking on air.

The 40-year-old Porter would not only be the 17th manager in franchise history, but he also would be only the team’s second black manager and would be the youngest skipper in the major leagues.

It was his first-ever shot a managing in the majors, even though he had been in professional baseball for 18 years.

However, Porter only played in 24 major league games with the Chicago Cubs organization in 1999, 15 games with the Oakland A’s in 2000 and 48 games with the Texas Rangers on 2001.

Bo grew up in Newark, N.J. loving to play football as well as baseball. So he played and starred in both sports in both high school and college. He was all-state in football, baseball and even basketball.

He was an outfielder and a defensive back at Iowa University where he was all-Big 10 in both sports and named defensive MVP as a senior under Lone Star State coaching legend Hayden Fry. Off the field Porter developed a side career as a motivational speaker, accompanying Sharon Robinson—the daughter of Jackie Robinson—to elementary schools promoting

her father’s values and to discuss his own difficulties in learning to overcome a speech impediment.

“His style is his biggest asset,” explained Astros General Manager Jeff Luhnow. “He’s a natural-born leader, very charismatic. He can get the best out of people, and that is what we found so compelling. He generates energy, and when he comes into a room, people are drawn to him.”

One of the main reasons Porter was the choice of the Astros’ front office for the managerial job is because he works so well with young, upand-coming baseball players.

Bo just never realized how many of these raw, untested major league hopefuls would land on his doorstep during his first season as the front office continued to ship players to Houston from their minor league affiliates in Oklahoma City (Class AAA) and Corpus Christi (Class AA) and send some of their more established major leaguers packing.

Of the 25 players who began the season in Houston at the end of spring training, nearly half of them have either been traded, released or optioned to the minors.

Veteran slugger Carlos Pena was traded early last month followed by closer Jose Veras last Monday, Justin Maxwell and then the Astros’ No. 1

pitcher Bud Norris was dealt to Baltimore and then pitched and won against the Astros the very next day. Also parting ways with the team were Rick Ankiel, Philip Humber and Ronny Cedeno.

The Houston Astros are expected to compete with the youngest roster in the majors (25.6 years average age) that includes 12 rookies and a current payroll of only $13 million.

After Norris was traded last week, Porter’s starting pitching staff looks like a group of unknowns with Jordan Lyles, Dallas Kuechel, Erik Bedard, Brett Oberholtzer and Jarred Cosart. But Sunday young Brad Peacock got the start and hurled a whale of a game, despite losing 3-2 on a seventh inning home run and also will compete for one of the five starting pitching spots.

Besides being the worst team in the major leagues BEFORE the All-Star break, the Astros have gone 3-13 after the break in games through Sunday. And of their 74 losses so far this season, 34 have been by one run. The team has endured six losing streaks of at least five games.

Throughout the first four months of the season Porter has managed to be upbeat, but it seems like each week the front office weakens his 25-man roster with trades and player moves.

Big fish and big crowd at OCARC event COLBURN: FISHING DICKIE COLBURN FOR THE RECORD

There have been some memorable tournaments over the 26 year history of the O.C.A.R.C. fishing tournament, but I cannot recall one that ran any smoother or drew larger crowds than last Saturday’s. Center Director, John Thomas, decided to move the weigh-in to the City Public Boat launch and everyone involved lauded the move.

It just couldn’t have been any better. The weather was perfect, the fish decided to do their thing and you could have fed the entire family for a $10 bill. The massive parking lot not only afforded spectators easy access to the tented areas provided by Granger Chevrolet and Gopher industries, but also enabled the contestants to launch and park their rigs within walking distance of the scales.

Mother Nature played the most hospitable role, however, as what had been a very tough bite all summer gave way to

some very user-friendly fishing across the weekend.

Both the trout and redfish decided to school under the gulls and the live bait bite continued strong.

It took a heck of a good fish to win every single category.

Even the Appaloosa Red (the redfish with the most spots) was a show-stopper as Sammy Hall’s winning fish had more spots than a leopard, must less an Appaloosa. The thirty-one spots basically ran down either side of the back of the fish which was unusual in itself.

Jesse Connor led off the parade of $100 first place winners with a 12.59 pound black drum. Cade Baker won the sun perch division with 5.6 pound fish and Ethan Read won the grinnel division with a solid 7.24 pounder. Matthew Lambert won the croaker division with a beautiful 2.43 pound fish.

Jagger McCullogh just blew

away the field in the catfish division with a thick shouldered 21.59 pound fish. Matthew Pruyne took white perch honors with a .98 pound fish and Eddie Forgey took home the $50 check for winning the coveted “Don Hubbard Mudcat” with a 2.45 pound specimen.

All of the winners in the four categories worth $250 posted better than average fish. Beaux Hebert weighed in a 3.19 pound bass, Bryan Sandlin’s winning flounder weighed 3.99 pounds and Nancy Nichols winning speck weighed in at a very respectable 6.32 pounds.

Garrett Granger’s winning redfish weighing 7.33 pounds was a very good fish considering the fact that eligible reds had to be less than 27 inches in length. Never in the history of the tournament have they ever had so many redfish weighed in according to weigh-master, Joe Persohn.

The live bait fishermen as well as those fishing the back lakes in the surrounding marshes were already catching good numbers of redfish, but right on cue the redfish decided to school in the open lake as well. Seemingly every contestant arrived at the weigh-in line with at least one redfish in their box!

Every youngster that fished

the event left with a smile on their face and a trophy in hand. Many of them left with a grab bag and new fishing rod as well. There were raffle winners galore and the cen-

ter handed out everything from fishing caps to t-shirts throughout the weigh-in.

The easier bite in the lake ignited, as predicted, as soon as the wind started taking

a break in the middle of the day. Ladyfish and gafftop were hammering away at shrimp and massive schools of shad from one end of the lake to the other and both the reds and trout decided to join in on the buffet by the end of the week.

The largest of the trout are still coming out of the deeper water in the ICW. Both live bait and tails are fooling specks up to seven pounds, but the best fish last weekend was a 30-inch 9 pound 4 ounce trout that gave it up to a topwater. That fish also came out of the ICW. The fish is now at the taxidermist, but sadly enough it was taken by an angler that had not signed up for the STAR tournament.

That mistake cost him some big bucks!

For the first time in a while our most productive lure was not a Vudu shrimp fished under a cork. We switched over to the four inch Sea Shad and Flats Minnow when the reds showed up and the trout approved of the switch as well.

Easily our two best colors were Texas Roach and any translucent color as long as the tail was chartreuse!

When the trout start doing their thing on the surface and I am forced to deal with ladyfish as well, I take advantage of the topwater action by replacing the stock treble hooks with single hooks. I hook just as

to pick up as much momentum and as much confidence that will allow us to start next season with more confidence as a ball club,” Porter was quoted in Sunday’s edition of the Houston Chronicle.

But if the first four months of his initial season appeared frustrating with all those losses, the last two could really transform Bo Porter from Mr. Niceguy into somebody not so nice. I think I’ll send him a sympathy card.

KWICKIES…It looks like the “Tiger Woods Is Over the Hill” fraternity received a huge setback last weekend after he shot a 61 in Friday’s second round and then coasted to an easy seven-shot victory in the Bridgestone Invitational at Akron, Ohio last weekend.

He easily defeated defending champion Keegan Bradley and Henrik Stenson with a 15-under-par 265 to capture the $1.5 million first place money. The victory was Tiger’s 79th on the PGA Tour, leaving him three shy of Sam Snead’s record 82 tour wins. And he no doubt will be the favorite in this week’s PGA Championship at Oak Hill in Rochester, N.Y. Although a majority of the starters didn’t play in the Dallas Cowboy’s 24-20 upset preseason-opening Hall of Fame game victory Sunday night over the Miami Dolphins, the Cowboys who did participate played very well. The defense was solid with a couple of takeaways and the running game, which ranked 31st last season, amassed 170 yards from the backups fighting for a roster position.

Orange’s 71-year-old marathon man Ken Ruane returned last week from Cleveland, O.— which just so happens to be his hometown—where he competed in the National Senior Games in which each contestant had to have finished in the top three in their state to qualify for the nationals. Ken qualified for three events—the 5k and 10 k road races plus the 1500 meter run on a track. He

finished fourth in both the 5k and 10k events and sixth in the 1500. “I took a wrong turn in the 10k which cost me two minutes and finishing third,” Ken said. “The 5k was on a very hilly course which was the toughest one I’ve ever run, but everyone of the top five finished within a few seconds of each other, so I was pleased with my effort. The guy who won the 1500 was the American record-holder in over age 65. He ran 5:48 and I was sixth at 5:58, so I’m happy because that was the toughest competition I’ve ever faced.”

The NFL has a new policy for fans entering a stadium for a 2013 preseason or regular season game banning bags that are not clear and that are larger than a gallon Ziploc bag.

Other banned items include backpacks, diaper bags, coolers, seat cushions, computer bags and camera bags.

Of the 20 or so major league baseball players who accepted or have already served 50-game suspensions for illegal use of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, only New York Yankees superstar Alex Rodriguez plans to appeal because he was socked with an unbelievable 211-game suspension for the remainder of the 2013 season and possible playoffs plus the entire 2014 season. His suspension begins tomorrow (Thurs.) but he will be able to play for the Yankees during the appeal process. The suspended players will not be paid while they serve out their bans.

JUST BETWEEN US…Ever since winning the Heisman Trophy, Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel has been in the sports headlines, usually with something he has done that is either detrimental or an embarrassment to the Aggies football program. The latest episode was uncovered Sunday when ESPN reported that the NCAA is investigating whether Manziel was “paid for signing hundreds of autographs on photos and sports memorabilia in January,” according to an article posted on ESPN.com. Manziel participated in the Aggies’ opening of preseason camp Monday but didn’t talk to the media. Aggies’ Head Coach Kevin Sumlin held a press conference Monday morning and said that the university is trying to find out the facts. If the investigation reveals that Manziel was compensated for his autographs, the NCAA could declare him ineligible for the 2013 Texas A&M football season.

Magnum sized fish on mini sized plugs OUTDOORS WEEKLY CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE FOR THE RECORD

We have all had the perfect conditions not pay dividends, everything seems to be right but the results just don’t show anything for the effort. This scenario plays itself out many times over during an angler’s career, especially in the summer. During extended periods when rain and runoff get scarce and the water clarity gets so good it borders on ridiculous many fishermen have a hard time catching fish. Upper coast anglers especially struggle with these conditions because they are not anywhere close to normal for the water we fish. In situations like these it pays to down size your offerings, smaller baits are often just the ticket to get fish to

bite.

Fly fishermen for years have understood this concept better than anyone; after all they are the folks who patterned the phrase “match the hatch”. In the early part of the summer the finfish like shad and pogies will be smaller than during the late summer and early fall. The incredible population of this small baitfish is what makes the predator fish like trout and redfish so thick in our part of the world. Lower coast venues don’t have anywhere near the populations of shad that Sabine and Calcasieu possess so understanding and knowing the size of this

baitfish can be critical to getting a bite. On more than one occasion I have seen first hand what happens when you down size just a little and make that perfect adjustment. The fish seem to get locked in and all those near misses become bone jarring strikes.

For the angler who desires to catch a little bit of everything, big fish and numbers, the junior sized plugs like the Mirr-o-lure She Dog, She Pup and Rapala Skitterwalk Junior are extremely tough to beat.

The smaller profile on these plugs will catch more fish in clear water on a day to day basis than just about anything else this side of a bait stand.

According to Texas Parks and Wildlife surveys of stomach contents from both speckled trout and redfish the average size food found in these fish

was 3 inches long. Sure trout and reds will eat bigger offerings, but they rarely turn down that size bait when they a get a chance. For my own personal preference I would rather throw the smaller plugs, they seem to give me better results all the way around on both numbers and big fish. If you really think about it throwing the smaller plugs makes plenty of sense, you can easily throw a bait that’s too big but

it’s tough to throw one that’s too small.

On a recent trip I put the small topwater theory to work while fishing with 3 other clients aboard my boat. Each angler was armed with a topwater plug, 2 with larger bodied plugs like Super Spooks and He-Dogs and 1 other along with myself throwing Spook Jr’s and She Pups. Conditions were perfect and the fish cooperated as we ran our own little

5B

“science experiment” so to speak. The smaller plugs really did a number on both the better trout and redfish as well.

The percentage of hook ups versus strikes was decidedly in favor of the smaller baits as well. There were plenty of fish to go around and even the big blow ups and misses were a treat. In the end there was no doubt the smaller sized topwaters were the perfect offering.

The clear water small plug presentations that really shine on the lower coast can be used effectively on any body of water. On Sabine or Calcasieu during the summer months when the trout are shadowing big schools of shad you can bet the smaller plugs are going to produce. I have seen fishermen who just took their offerings and scaled them down one size literally save fishing trips. Back off the big plugs and get small if you want to really put the odds in your favor this summer.

Falling obesity rates among preschoolers mark healthful trend Staff Report For The Record

A fresh from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests the tide may be turning on the front, National Public Radio reports.

After decades of steady increases, 19 states and U.S. territories saw small decreases in their rates of obesity among low-income preschoolers. And another 20 states held steady at current rates.

A CDC map shows several Southern states — including Florida, Georgia and Mississippi — that are part of the downward trend.

“We’re beginning to see a tipping point,” CDC Director says. “We’re beginning to see the scales tip in a more favorable, healthy direction.”

This map from the CDC shows decreases (light blue) and increases (gray) in obesity prevalence among lowincome, preschool-aged children from 2008-2011.

This map from the CDC shows decreases (light blue) and increases (gray) in obesity prevalence among lowincome, preschool-aged children from 2008-2011.

The changes are small. For instance, in Florida the rate

fell from 14.1 percent in 2008 to 13.1 percent in 2011. And dips in other states are similar during this three-year period.

The data for the new CDC report comes from the .

Still, Frieden says the changes are encouraging, especially for this age group. He says children who are overweight during the preschool years are about five times more likely to end up overweight or obese as adults.

Now, there have been hints of a leveling off of childhood obesity rates for a while.

There have been measurable decreases in cities such as New York City and Philadelphia, where there has been concerted, comprehensive action to address the problem. And the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation points to other promising in cities such as Kearney, Neb., and Vance, N.C. So, what’s responsible for the declining rates across so many states? Frieden points to several federal programs.

For instance, changes to the program that provides supplemental foods and education to low-income families.

Also, as we’ve , there’s been an increase in the number of moms breast-feeding their in-

fants as the results of in hospitals nationwide. These efforts may lower the risk of obesity.

And municipalities, health providers and employers across the country have introduced all sorts of initiatives to encourage healthier lifestyles.

Some doctors are even for their patients.

Many pediatricians say they’re much more assertive about obesity-prevention efforts, compared to a decade ago. “It used to be a very awkward, embarrassing conversation to have [with overweight families],” says of Kaiser Permanente.

Now, she charts kids’ , or BMIs, at every visit and talks with patients and their families about their eating and exercise habits. “It just opens up communication lines,” says Desler.

No one is claiming a victory over childhood obesity. “It’s still a very serious epidemic,” says at Stanford University.

But he says the CDC report pointing to small declines in childhood obesity is very encouraging.

“Small changes can magnify into large improvements in health” over time, he says.

State parks a great way to beat summer heat Staff Report For The Record

With temperatures around the state hitting the 90’s and 100’s, Texans everywhere are looking for a way to keep cool.

Parks around the state offer a variety of swimming options such as spring-fed rivers, lakes, and Gulf water to help the entire family stay cool and enjoy what Texas’ natural resources have to offer.

In the Austin area, state parks such as McKinney Falls, Inks Lake and Pedernales Falls offer an array of rivers and lakes in the heart of the Hill Country.

In East Texas near Houston, Huntsville State Park and Lake Livingston State Park are ideal destinations for river and lake swimming. If wading close to shore on the open ocean seems more ideal, Galveston Island State Park offers beach access to the Gulf of Mexico.

Near Dallas, Eisenhower

State Park, Fairfield Lake State Park and Lake Mineral Wells State Park and Trailway offer park visitors a chance to swim in the soothing waters of those lakes, cool off and enjoy a break from the bustle of the city.

In the San Antonio area, Guadalupe River State Park and Palmetto State Park give park visitors a chance to go for a dip and beat the south Texas heat.

In West Texas, Balmorhea State Park is the home of one of the world’s largest springfed pools, with water so clear

that many people bring their snorkel gear to experience the underwater world first hand.

No matter where you swim, visitors must always be aware of their surroundings and environmental conditions and follow basic swimming safety tips. Tips include recognizing the importance of wearing a life jacket, staying hydrated and swimming in designated swimming areas.

Visit the Texas Parks and Wildlife website for a list of parks around the state that offer swimming.

It was late in arriving, but it looks like the numbers game is on and it should only get better. Don’t forget how hard the fishing has been over the past few weeks and take the time to handle any fish to be released with care.

LU football opens up fall camp

STAFF REPORTS FOR THE RECORD

With the season just around the corner, the Lamar football team began its preseason camp on Monday evening at Provost Umphrey Stadium.

Due to class schedules and the usually warm Beaumont summers, the Cardinals hit the field at 7 p.m., leading to an anxious first day for head coach Ray Woodard.

“The first day’s always a long day,” the fourthyear head coach said. “We come in early, and I was ready for practice right after lunch, so it made for a long afternoon. With it being so hot, it actually turns out well for us.”

“We had a lot of energy and excitement out there today,” Woodard continued. “I definitely think we’re further ahead this year than we were last year on the first day of practice. I really spent today watching the young guys, and I was very pleased with a lot of our freshman class.”

Three freshmen joined a pair of veterans for snaps from under center in Monday’s practice in what might be one of the more interesting position battles of the preseason. Both Caleb

Berry and Ryan Mossakowski earned their fair share of starts at quarterback a year ago, and the trio of Rex Dausin, Robert Mitchell and Judge Wolfe joined the mix for the first time at Provost Umphrey.

“Caleb and Ryan have been around a while now, and they did what I thought they would do,” Woodard explained. “This was the first time I really got to see Rex throw. He’s got a good, quick release, and he makes good decisions. Robert is a good athlete, and he’s in tremendous physical shape. Judge was probably the surprise of the day for me. I thought he did a good job handling our offense. We have five guys who can really play, and that’s a good problem to have.”

The Cardinals will continue practice on Tuesday and throughout the rest of the week at Provost Umphrey, beginning at 7 p.m. each evening with the first scrimmage of the fall set for 9 a.m. on Saturday.

All practices during preseason are open to the public.

LU will begin the season on August 31 at home against Oklahoma Panhandle State, the first of six games on campus this season. For ticket information, please call 409-880-1715.

BCHS Project Graduation moves forward Debby Schamber For The Record

School has not even started, but that hasn’t stopped the Bridge City High School 2014 Project Graduation members from preparing for the future for upcoming seniors.

According to Hilton Bacon, president of the 2014 project graduation, the purpose is to raise money throughout the year is to give the graduating class the opportunity to go out with a “bang” by giving them a party and keeping them safe and off the streets on graduation night.

Every hour worked at the various scheduled events allows parents and students to earn points.

The points will be used at the party to purchase items such as iPods, computers and more.

The volunteers have already raised about $6,000 in the month of June. However, Bacon has a goal of raising $80,000 by the time of the party. He expects the party to cost about $15,000 after the food and entertainment is factored in for the all night event.

“That way every graduate gets a gift at the party,” Bacon added. “We just want them to go out with a bang.”

But, he also has a goal of raising enough money to purchase a new vehicle and all who attend

the party have a chance to win it.

Volunteers have spent their summer working at places such as Ford Park in the concession stands during events including the circus and various concerts. An average of up to 18 people work the booth in shifts. Ten percent of the sales are given back to the school.

During the fourth of July holidays, volunteers worked in a fireworks stand too. In the near future, volunteers will be working at the Beaumont Civic Center waiting on tables to earn their points.

Other activities will include donkey basketball, dances, link sales and more. Volunteers will also work at upcoming events at Ford Park.

In addition, following the football games on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights, volunteers will pick up the trash.

All Bridge City High School incoming seniors and their parents are encouraged to attend the monthly meeting at 6 p.m. the third Monday of every month at the BCHS library.

Bacon has participated in various events in the community to help area children. He has coached for various teams and he said he has seen many of them grow up in the area.

“I love being able to help these kids,” Bacon said. “I don’t want anybody to be left out.”
