Accused bank robber turned in by friends Debby Schamber For The Record

James Hunter Bergeron’s friend of 15 years is the person who turned him in for the Capital One bank robbery on July 27.

According to a probable cause affidavit, Bergeron,22, of Sulphur, La., was behind on his pickup truck payments when he spotted the bank on 16th Street. It was close to the Interstate and he “just decided

Orange Jaycees to host Labor Day Festival

to do it.”

A bank employee reported to police she was working the drive-thru at about 10:29 a.m. and when BERGERON she turned around saw Bergeron standing in line with the bank bag under his arm. She walked to the teller station and asked Bergeron if she could help

Eric Ellison plays the bagpipes during a funeral.

Debbie Schamber For The Record

Among the sounds in one Orange neighborhood are not only the sounds of lawn mowers and children playing, but also of the bagpipes being played.

Eric Ellison, Capt. for the Orange Police Department, practices at his house and often outside. He said neighbors don’t complain but instead stop to listen to his unique music which fills the air for all to enjoy.

Ellison, who has been a police officer for nearly 18 years, is self-taught on the bagpipes and started with a chanter in July 2009. The chanter is the melody pipe, played with two hands.

After he mastered it, he moved to the pipes in October of the same year. Hard work,dedication and endless hours of practice has lead him to where he is now. The bagpipes are composed of a nine note chanter, a bass drone and two tenor drones which are winded by the player through a valved blowpipe into a sheepskin bag. However, the bag Ellision uses is more contemporary and made of plastic.

It was in the Buna Junior High School band where he first discovered his love for music and how to read sheet music. He continued through high school as part of the band. Later as an adult he would once again be in a band but this time it would be the Lonestar Pipe Band.

Since 1987 the band has been making people in Southeast Texas happy with their unique sounds. They have played at many community events and various ceremonies. The music played is commonly known traditional tunes people would normally associate with bag pipes. But, they also play other instruments such as the Irish Drum, tin whistle, and the didgerido which leads to forms of Celtic music as well.

During the holidays the band plays at the “Dickens on the Strand” in Galveston.

More locally they can be heard at the Log-On Cafe in Beaumont, especially on St. Patrick’s day to celebrate the luck of the Irish.

Ellison’s interests didn’t stop with just playing the bagELLISON PAGE 3A

Bergeron reportedly went back to where he had parked the truck and headed home. The friend told investigators he called Bergeron to see if he wanted to go fishing. But, Bergeron wanted him to come to his family’s plac of business instead. When he arrived, he told him he had something he needed to tell someone.

Bergeron told his friend details which would later help him find the story on the In-

ternet such as his clothing which was a black cowboy hat, jeans and a shirt with pearl buttons. His friend would later provide investigators with Facebook pictures of Bergeron wearing the same shirt believed to have been worn during the robbery.

In addition, Bergeron told the friend he spent the money to pay his truck note, buy a Ruger .380 pistol which he kept in his truck and gave some

money to his girlfriend.

Another friend also identified him as the person who robbed the bank after she viewed the video of the robbery. The woman reported she had known Bergeron since he was a child, according to the affidavit.

After being arrested he was extradited to Texas. Bond was set at $50,000. On Saturday he posted bond and was released from the Orange County Jail.

According to police, he did not have a gun visible at the time of the robbery.

Compactors could save county money Penny Leleux

For The Record

Orange County Engineer Clark Slacum’s monthly report on Road and Bridge to commissioners court brought attention the possibility of saving money by putting compactors at the landfill site.

“Road and Bridge has been studying the feasibility of installing waste compactors at the solid waste collection site.

Based on information sup-

plied to me by Waste Management, using compactors will allow us to increase by a ratio of three the amount of SLACUM quantity we can place in these dumpsters.” The cost of disposal of a compacted dumpster is $350, where as an uncompacted dumpster COUNTY BUSINESS PAGE 2A

First Presbyterian Church of Orange was the first air conditioned public building in the south in August 1912.

On the 100th Anniversary of

Air Conditioning in Orange Debby Schamber For The Record

The summer heat may be sweltering but those wanting to escape the heat have been able to do so for 100 years in Orange with the first public building in the south, the First Presbyterian Church, to have the luxury in August 1912.

In 1902, a year after Willis Carrier graduated from Cornell University with a masters degree in engineering, he landed a job at a printing company in New York. They paid him $10 a week. However, the company was struggling with the heat and humidity which caused the colors to run. Carrier invented a device which

made printing possible and made him a very valuable employee. The invention controlled the temperature. Carrier later went into business for himself and was contacted

by Frances Ann Lutcher to install air conditioning in the First Presbyterian Church.

The church was organized in April 1878 under the guidance of Dr. W.H. Vernor and Dr. R.H. Byers. The first chuch building was located at Market and Polk Streets. The current building was planned, errected and paid for by Frances Ann Lutcher. She wanted to build the church as a memorial to the Henry Jacob Lutcher family and it was named the Lutcher Memorial Church

Building.

Frances Ann Lutcher took it upon herself to do all the planning and choosing of the windows herself. An architect from Kansas City, Mo., James Olver Hogg, was hired for the design. The granite is a native Texas stone and comes from Llano. However, the marble is from Italy. Construction began in 1908 and the glorious structure was completed in 1908. It was formally dedicated in January 1912.

The plans for air conditioning was not without hurdles to overcome. But, when there is a will, there is a way.

Detectives seek help

Two cold cases remain to be solved Debby Schamber For The Record

It has been nearly 22 years since Christopher Stonecipher was last seen alive.

According to reports, he told his mother he was going to the store to cash some checks on August 8, 1990 and never returned. He was last seen at Parkdale Mall in Beaumont.

Stonecipher’s black 1985 Chevrolet pickup was found a few weeks later in a heavily wooded area in Kountze on Highway 770. The vehicle was still in good condition but the keys were missing. However, his wallet and driver’s license was found inside the pickup truck.

Hardin County Sheriff’s deputies, Texas Rangers and Department of Public Safety Troopers conducted an exten-

sive search of the area, but were unable to find any new clues.

Stonecipher always informed his mother when he was going out of town. However, he was between jobs at the time of his disappearance. Investigators would later discover a message on an answering

machine telling him to report to a new job. But, he never made it.

Stonecipher was born August 23, 1957 and would be soon celebrating his 55th birthday. At the time of his disapperance he was described as 5 foot 10 inches tall and weighing about 180 pounds.

County business

ster is $300. Slacum estimates the county could save $7,000 a month. Orange County Judge Carl Thibodeaux told Slacum to look into it further and when the numbers are finalized, bring it back to the court for approval.

In other business, Rick Masters of Carroll and Blackman, Inc., told commissioners that the post-construction controls developed to control the quality of storm water runoff into the rivers will be implemented in the next week or so.

The plan determines if new construction will require on site detention ponds or something else, such as grass ditches. Detention ponds may be required if a project has more than an acre of new impervious cover, such as: paving, area under a roof or other surfaces that do not allow storm water infiltration. “Our permit rules say that we have to insure adequate long-term operation of the ponds or control measures,” said Masters.

“It’s a good thing for Orange County in that development projects are not put in that are going for cause flooding.”

Mandatory post-construction non-structural controls must: Prevent trash and/or floatables, petroleum products and other non-storm water discharges from entering the municipal storm sewer system; Implement sweeping or other maintenance programs to minimize the discharge of sediment (dirt, sand, clay, et.) in the sewer system; and maintain vegetation in a minor to minimize erosion and sediment to the sewer system.

McBride, 48, worked as a prison guard at the Stiles Unit in Beaumont.

Hargrave said they have two persons of interest in the case,

He had blonde hair and blue eyes. He has a tatoo of his name on his right arm and a scar on his chin, forehead and left hand.When he left home he was wearing a blue shirt, blue shorts and flipflops.

Anyone with any information is asked to call the Pinehurst Police Department at 409-886-2221.

Another case which remains unsolved is that of Beverly McBride.

According to Cliff Hargrave of the Orange Police Department, she was reported missing in Beaumont on August 12, 2007. Her body was found a few weeks later, on September 1, by a man cutting the grass in the 2100 block of Second Street. Because of the heat and the length of time she may have been there, her body was severely decomposed. An autopsy was ordered and the re-

but are still searching for clues in order to solve the case.

“We hope someone will come forward,” Hargrave said.

Anyone with information, even though they may think it is trivial, is encouraged to call the Orange Police Depart ment at 409-883-1026.

Air conditioning turns 100 here lost over the years and it is not certain which system was first used at the church. But, it is believed since Carrier held a patent on an air conditioning system which used ammonia, this was the first sytem installed in the church. However, it was toxic and highly flammable. Also under consideration is the first air conditioning unit may also have been a system which used water and carbon dioxide. This system would have worked similiar to the unit with ammonia, according to Record archives.

In addition, electricity

would have been a problem.

The air conditioning system would have taken two-thirds of the power available in Orange. The solution was to build a power source just for the church.

Carrier built a powerhouse which was built behind the main church building. Crews installed a 200 horsepower engine which ran on crude oil.

A newer air conditioning system was installed in the church in the late 1920s. As the years rolled by, another unit was installed in the 1950s.

Eventually, a 50 ton unit was implemented and still keeps

the church cool and visitors comfortable.

Some of the original duct work and piping are still used in the church as part of the current Carrier system. However, some things have changed. The powerhouse where the chief engineer one lived on the top floor now serves another purpose. The remainder of the powerhouse such as the top three floors was removed many years ago.

Through out the entire project, Frances Ann Lutcher kept costs a secret which also remains in effect to this day. To make sure the building was

pipes. He did some research and now wears a combination of the traditional bagpipe uniform in addition to his shirt from OPD. He wears a kilt, a glengarry which is more commonly known as a hat, spats to cover his ghillie brogues which are his shoes and hose.

“One of the few things you see in Texas is a guy in a kilt,” Ellison said.

Sometimes other officers may joke with him about wearing the kilt, but in the end he is respected for a job well done by providing a service to their fellow men in blue.

‘This is something I have always wanted to do,” Ellison said. “I wanted to give back and help people through the grieving process.”

Ellison voluntarily travels to

perform during funerals for firefighters, ex-military, and any other uniformed personnel. However, he is known to play for civilians as well. The sounds of the bagpipes are what people long to hear at solemn occasions which stirs deep emotions. However, they can be a celebrated sound as well at weddings and parties.

The bagpipes with their unique harmonics and steady sound of the drones have people always wanting more. Ellison’s most requested songs are “Going Home” and “Amazing Grace.”

“They are like a final goodbye,” Ellison says of his tunes.

One recent funeral where he played the bagpipes was for beloved fellow officer, Robert “Pop” Boudreaux. It is times

like these it brings it all a little closer to his heart and reminds him why he plays the bagpipes.

Bagpipes have been around for centuries. There is evidence of its’ existence during the time of the ancient Egyptians. The Romans are credited with bringing it to Scotland where it developed into the form it is today.

At one time, Pipers were important men in a clan. Therefore, the senior Highland regiment can be credited to helping to establish the position of pipers in the British Army. As a result, a tradition was born and remains synonymous with the Scottish soldier, according to the College of Piping Tutor Guide.

IT’S AUGUST - I HEAD FOR COOL SPOT I lived to see man land on the moon, now I have a shot to see man walk on Mars. They say it could happen before Obama leaves office in four years. Monday the Curiosity Rover successfully landed on Mars. The Rover carries laser cameras, a chemistry lab and more. NASA again has shown the world their capacity to be great. Scientist will unravel secrets of the red planet.*****Bad news greeted us on Sunday. Another Neo-Nazi domestic terrorist killed Sikh worshipers in an Oak Creek, Wisconsin temple. The shooter, Wade Michael Page, age 40, was shot and killed in an exchange with police. The FBI described him as consumed with hate. Reports say there is an entire underworld of white supremacist music that the public has no idea of. The lyrics could not be printed in any newspaper. They are vile and call for the murder of Jews, all black people or anyone not white. Page was a guitarist, lyricist and singer for a series of bands. The Southern Poverty Law Center list 1,018 active hate groups in the U.S., 45 are in Texas and 27 in Louisiana. These are the people that shouldn’t be able to have assault weapons.*****Since I was a little guy, August has never been one of my favorite months. Dragging that big sack in those cotton fields back home in the heat of August was pure misery. Then in my teenage years came football two-a-days in August. I always looked forward to them until a week after they got started, then football season and school starting couldn’t come quick enough. Back then you weren’t allowed to drink water at practice, it would cause cramps they said. We were fed handfuls of salt tablets that really made us thirsty. The times have changed. Trainers see that regular water breaks are held and trainers are a lot more heat conscience, with regular breaks. I still feel for the youngsters out there today, doing two-a-days. I congratulate them. Hang in there football season is right around the corner and August will be history.*****I’d best get to work in this air conditioned office. Did you know air conditioning came to Orange exactly 100 years ago this August. Read all about how Carrier brought cool air to an Orange church, the first in the nation, in this issue.****Come along, it won’t do you no harm.

OLYMPICS--FASTER, STRONGER, HIGHER The best part of August every four years is the summer Olympics. If I was retired, I’d pack a lunch and spend all my time in front of the TV watching the games. Swimmer Michael Phelps set a record that will never be broken in my lifetime. He now has 22 medals, 18 gold. He has made his final splash. “I’m definitely done,” he said. The 27 year old gave us many thrills and plenty to be proud of. I won’t soon forget the name Usain Bolt, from Jamaica, who ran the 100-meter dash in 9.63 seconds. I’ll always remember the blade runner, double amputee, quarter-miler, Oscar Pistorius, who made history by competing in the Olympics. Also Kirani James, from Grenada, who won the 400-meter, the first ever for his country. How can anyone forget 17 your old swimmer Missy Franklin, or Sanya Richard Ross, who won the 400-meter.

What about gymnast, little Gabby Douglas, who won the individual All-Around and is already on a Kellogg’s corn flakes box. Of course, Kobe Bryant, James, and our sure to win gold basketball team. There are way too many athletes to mention. I even like the uniforms on the lady beach volleyball players. The Olympics are a bright spot in August.

CONDOLENCES It’s a sad week as we say goodbye to some friends who left us. Todd Edgerly, 48, fought the good fight. What a great guy he was. Todd passed away Aug. 5.

A lot of people loved Todd. His pain is now wiped away. He’s in comfort with his Lord. May he rest in peace.

Our sadness is also felt for the family of Kurt Rodrigue, 50, who died suddenly Saturday, Aug. 4. He was making plans to fish the OCARC Tournament when he was felled by a deadly heart attack. Services will be held Wednesday, Aug. 8, at St. Henry Catholic Church in Bridge City at 10 a.m. Our condolences go out to wife Andi, mother Annette, daughter Maci and the entire family. This is a double blow for the family, a few weeks ago Andi’s dad, J.R. Peveto died. May God be with you.

Frank Hryhorchuk, 80, was a man this writer had known over 50 years and also knew his siblings from Deweyville for many years. “Butch” died Aug. 1, at his home.

Just as Sheriff Keith Merritt started his investigation, Judge Pat fessed up that his microwave at home had broken and not wanting to be without one over the weekend, took the office “Micro” home. From what I hear from workers at the court house it will take an act of congress before Ms. Rosalie can get a new one from the old tight wad.*****Here’s something that puzzles me. After Sen. John McCain passed on Mitt Romney after seeing 23 years of Mitt’s tax returns, he picked Sarah Palin as his running mate figuring she would be a better president if something happened to him. Why doesn’t McCain now say, “I saw Romney’s tax returns and there is nothing unusual about them. All anyone can guess is for Mitt to take all this heat there must be something awfully devastating in his returns. Usually, where there is smoke, there’s fire. The American people will never hire Romney as Commander-In-Chief unless he releases those returns and proves Harry Reid wrong. We already know Mitt has a $100 million IRA. Now there’s a good trick.*****Now here’s a good deal. Bruce Self and the gang at Burgertown, on Hwy. 1442 at Hwy. 105, has their great Pizza Burgers on sale this week for only $1.99. Save $2.

I’m getting too old for all of this. Take care and God bless.

Dog Heaven on the Neches

I heard about an old East Texas bachelor who had a small cabin on a few acres near the Sabine River. Seems like the last two fingers on his left hand were frozen shut from a boyhood accident. His only companion was an old mongrel hound, Barney.

Well, the old boy was out hunting one day when he got snakebit by a fat cottonmouth.

After tending the bite best he could, he headed home, but along the way, he grew dizzy and sat to rest, He closed his eyes. His old hound lay at his feet.

When he opened them, he struck out for home once again, but the trail was different.

Puzzled by the changes about him, he paused at a strange road with a fancy gate. Up the road a piece sat an elegant two-story house with music coming from the windows. A well-dressed gent opened the gate. “Welcome. Come in.”

The old bachelor asked where he was. “Things look different. And I feel different.”

“Why, you’re dead. Remember? The cottonmouth?” He smiled. “Don’t believe me. Look at your crippled hand.”

The old gent wiggled his frozen fingers in surprise. He looked up at the man. “Is this heaven?”

“What do you think?”

He reached down and patted his dog. “Come on, Barney. Let’s go in.”

But the well-dressed man stopped him. “No dogs allowed. Only humans.”

“Then I ain’t going in. If heaven ain’t good enough for my old hound, it ain’t good enough for me.” So he struck out along the unfamiliar

road.

Around the next bend, he came upon another road that led up to a plain log cabin like his own.

A jasper dressed in overalls sat on a fallen log.

“See you didn’t take old Luke up on his invite.”

With a snort, the old feller replied. “Not without my hound.” He nodded up the road behind the smiling man. “What’s this place?”

“Why, this is heaven.”

“Heaven?” He eyed the undistinguished road curving through the forest. “What was that place back there with the fancy house and loud music?”

The grin on the younger man’s face grew wider. “That was Hell.”

He nodded to Barney. “Come on in.

And bring Barney with you.”

Now, there was no sign on the second road, but if there had been, I figure it would have read “Port Neches,” for our little city welcomes dogs of all breeds.

A regular dog heaven.

No, I didn’t know it either, and I’ve lived in the area for over forty years. I’m just dumb, I suppose.

Even before we built our house, we constructed a fence for our little dog, Cim. That was what we had been told the city required. Fences for dogs. So we complied.

But I kept seeing loose dogs. I’d call about them, thinking the city would appreciate knowing about the canines. Nothing.

I puzzled over it while I kept seeing more and

The Record • Week of Wednesday, August 8, 2012

more of various breeds roaming the neighborhoods--free and unhindered, chasing cats, eating garbage, and leaving ample evidence of their cavorting behind to help fertilize our yards.

Then it hit me, like the proverbial ton of bricks. A dog heaven. The city wanted to keep it a secret so Nederland and Port Arthur wouldn’t take credit for the idea.

But why the idea in the first place?

The only answer was that previous city fathers wanted to lessen the stress on its hard-working citizens so they decided to provide a entertaining service not offered by any other community, a haven for dog owners to give their beloved pets free rein and let the citizenry enjoy the frolicking of the happy animals.

What better way to wake up each morning than to see the different breeds of canines running the street and yards.

Just the other day, I saw a Jack Russell terrier gamboling with the rare and elusive Basenji, but that was nowhere as memorable as watching a rare Bearded Collie and a Boston Terrier chase cats up my neighbors’ pecan trees.

Our city fathers have come up with a remarkable idea to help the city grow with this dog heaven business. They ought to change our city sobriquet from “Sapphire City of the Neches” to “Dog City of the Neches” or maybe “Canine City of the Neches.”

Visitors will flock in, and we won’t have to bother with a riverfront park project that’ll put

5A

Kemah to shame.

At the base of the sign, we should inscribe the words, “Give me your Rottweilers, your Malamutes, your Yorkies, your huddled mongrels yearning to breathe free.”

A catchy slogan might be “A Dog in Every Garage!”

Cooking with Katherine: Katherine Aras For The Record

Here is a fun pizza you and the kids can make at home.

The great thing about this pizza is the fact that you can change out the fruit to the fruit you have on hand or perhaps leave out certain things.

If the coconut is not your favorite food just leave it out.

CoconutBerry Pizza

Put whatever toppings you like for instance apples, peaches or whatever you decide it will be the talk of the family every time you make this pizza.

Most of all it’s great for taking out on picnics.

Happy Eating!

Making Snack Time Healthier

(StatePoint) Parents often struggle to get their children to forgo unhealthy snacks in favor of healthy options. With nearly a third of kids and teens overweight, childhood obesity is now a top health concern among parents in the United States, according to the American Heart Association.

Healthy snacks are just as important for kids as healthy meals, as a nutritious lunch can easily be offset by the empty calories of junk food

snacks.

“At school, kids will be tempted with all sorts of unhealthy snacks while you’re not around,” says Edmond Sanctis, co-founder of Sahale Snacks, a producer of healthy, all-natural snack foods. “But once kids get into a healthier eating routine, they’ll take those habits with them wherever they go.”

Even if your children scoff at carrot sticks and reach for the cookies instead, there are simple ways to motivate them to snack better.

Be a Role Model Eating habits start at a young age and are strongly influenced by parents. If you chow down on chips or candy in between meals, your child will learn to do the same. Eat healthy snacks in front of your kids.

Clean the Pantry The easiest way to get your child to stop eating highly processed junk food is to stop supplying it. Replace chips with natural snacks that are just as easy to grab on the go.

Press onto the bottom and up the sides of pan; seal seams.

Bake at 375 degrees for 1520 minutes or until golden brown.

Opt for snacks low in saturated fat and high in nutrition. For example, Sahale Crunchers are fruit and almond snacks that rely on nature and not artificial flavors for their taste. Stock up on a variety of flavors such as Almonds with Cherries, Apples + Maple and Almonds with Cranberries, Sesame Seeds + Honey so that even the pickiest kids won’t miss junk food.

Serving sizes are 140 calories or less, so they’ll be snacking better too.

Get Creative Healthy snacks don’t have to be bland. Make healthy snacking more delicious by adding nuts or granola to yogurt to give it an added boost of protein, fiber, healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants.

Or make veggies more appealing by pairing them with dips like salsa and hummus.

Don’t Give Up Your kids may complain at first, but stay strong. Once their taste buds get used to the new foods, they won’t miss the junk food at all. For more healthy snacking tips, visit www.sahalesnacks.com.

With some direction and a little creativity, healthy snacking will become second nature to your child.

Cool on a wire rack.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar and jam until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Spread over crust.

Great bake-free desserts ideas for summer (StatePoint) Nobody likes working in front of a hot oven during the summer. But if you and your family love desserts, you’ll still want to partake of sumptuous treats that will keep you all cool.

According to top dessert experts, there’s a whole world of alternatives to baking for those who suffer from a yearround sweet tooth.

“On hot days, my mind usually turns to frozen treats such as popsicles or sorbet; for something a bit more elegant I’ll whip up a chocolate ganache tart with cookie crust,” says Lindsay Landis, author of the new book, “The Cookie Dough Lover’s Cookbook.”

Landis has created over fifty recipes using egg-free cookie dough that is safe to eat raw.

By repurposing your favorite desserts for the summer season, you can take the need for heat out of the equation.

For example, if you love pie, consider a graham cracker, whipped cream and candied fruit based dessert that can be created in minutes and served cold.

And don’t forget that one of the best things about sum-

mer is the abundance of fresh fruit.

No matter what you come up with, adding a garnish of exotic fresh fruits like kiwi, pineapple and mango will wow your guests with a boost of natural sweetness. Or create a parfait of frozen yogurt, fresh strawberries and a variety of nuts.

For a bit of inspiration, try out this perfect no-bake summer treat from Landis: Invisible Cookie Dough Ice Pops Makes: 4 pops Active time: 5 minutes Total time: 3 hours Ingredients: 1 1/4 cups milk (skim, 2 percent, or whole) 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed Pinch salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons mini semisweet chocolate chips Directions: In a microwave-safe container or glass measuring cup, microwave milk 30 seconds or until warm to the touch. Add brown sugar and salt and stir until dissolved.

Diversify Your Investment Risk

Karen Collier Special To The Record

All investments carry risk.

But, as an investor, one of the biggest risks you face is that of not achieving your longterm goals, such as enjoying a comfortable retirement and remaining financially independent throughout your life.

each of four 1/3-cup ice-pop molds or small paper cups.

Top each with milk mixture.

Insert sticks and place molds in freezer. Freeze until solid, at least 3 hours.

To release pops, run molds under warm water 20 to 30 seconds; they should slide right out. If using paper cups, simply peel cups away and discard.

If your ice-pop mold does not include built-in sticks or a lid to hold them in place, you may find yourself with sticks pointing every which way but up.

To prevent this, stretch a layer of plastic wrap over the top of the mold and secure it with a rubber band.

Cut a small slit in the plastic, centered over each pop, and insert a stick through each opening.

Alternatively, you can adjust sticks as necessary after about 45 minutes of freezing, when the pops aren’t yet frozen solid.

You don’t need an oven.

You just need ingenuity to create crowd-pleasing summer treats.

you also need to consider investments with growth potential to help work toward your long-term goals.

• Interest-rate risk — Bonds and other fixed-income investments are subject to interest-rate risk. If you own a bond that pays 4% interest, and newly issued bonds pay 5%, it would be difficult to sell your bond for full price. So if you wanted to sell it prior to maturity, you might have to offer it at a discount to the original price. However, if you hold your bonds to maturity, you can expect to receive return of your principal provided the bond does not default.

• Default risk — Bonds, along with some more complex investments, such as options, are subject to default risk. If a company issues a bond that you’ve bought and that company runs into severe financial difficulties, or even goes bankrupt, it may default on its bonds, leaving you holding the bag. You can help protect against this risk by sticking with “investment-grade” bonds — those that receive high ratings from independent rating agencies such as Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s.

• Liquidity risk — Some investments, like real estate, are harder to sell than others.

Thus, real estate is considered more “illiquid” than many common investments.

Make sure you understand what type of risk is associated with every investment you own. And try to avoid “overloading” your portfolio with too many investments with the same type of risks. Doing so will not result in a totally smooth journey through the investment world — but it may help eliminate some of the “bumps” along the way.

Wilson “King” Dunn: Home Sweet Home As I have written earlier, Dee and I spent our first several months of married life living with my parents and helping with the milking and farming. During this time, I tore down an unused building out near the barn and used the lumber to construct a 12x21 house out on the hill where Tommy’s house now stands.

We lived there a few months and I started working at the store in Mauriceville. Dad owned a quarter’s interest in the store at the time. We had a bad cold winter that year. The condition of the road made it impossible to get to work from our house so we loaded our small collection of furniture on a wagon and moved into a small three room apartment near the store. Asa and Ella Mae later moved into that house on the hill, added on to it and raised their family there.

After living by the store for a few months, I was offered a job at the Orange Paper Mill making a little more money. Again we moved. This time we moved in with Dee’s mother and two children, Violet and Ocie, who lived in a large house on Eighth Street in Orange. This is where we were living when Nita was born in 1940. In the meantime, I had applied for and gotten a job at Levingston Shipyard, again earning a little better salary.

During all this time, I had managed to scrape and save and accumulate $400 to purchase the 19 acres of land I now call home. A Ned Cooper owed money to the Mauriceville store and the store took the land as payment. I bought the property from the store, paying $10 to $15 whenever I had it. Having the land paid for, we decided to go into debt and build a house. This house was located between where I live now and Nita’s home.

When we moved into the new house it had cost us a little over $850 and was still not finished on the inside. This was our home from the early 1940’s until 1954. Andy, Derry and Danny were born during the time we lived in that house.

In 1950, when Eloide and I were both working at the post office, we decided to rent our home and move into a place belonging to Mr. J.P. Hilliard on the corner across from the post office and across from the railroad tracks. It was handy for us to walk to work and for the kids to walk to school. We lived there about two years and then moved back into our home, where we made plans to build a new home. We started on the new home in August, 1954 and finished in December. We moved into the new home on New Year’s Day, 1955, and here I have lived ever since.

Wendell was a prisoner of war during World War II. He arrived on the beaches of Normandy on the second day of the D-Day operation and was soon captured by the Germans. The prisoners were required to do KP duty for the German soldiers. He told the story of how the prisoners would put potato skins in the pockets while they were peeling potatoes to cook for the Germans. At night, they would boil the skins in an empty can over an open fire. He said those potato skins tasted pretty good. The prisoner’s regular meal was rice.

In the Garden

by Pearl Burgess

The darkness is fading, the sun turns away night Walking in my garden gives me much delight, The morning dew clings to the delicate rose Yellow dandelions brush a little rabbit’s nose.

Early birds sing out “good morning” to me Along with crickets, butterflies, and bumble bees, Strolling in my garden is such a joy and a treat Smelling the flowers with their perfume so sweet.

Alone in my garden, I find such solace there For I feel the Lord’s presence everywhere, Walking and talking with Him each day I feel loving arms around me while I pray I remember His miracles around Lake Galilee The lame He made walk and the blind to see, In my own little garden, I remember that He Suffered betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane.

As I walk in my garden, I think of His pain Because of His love, eternal life I gained, My garden gives me strength to live each day For it reminds me to seek His will and pray.

n the heat of early August the Bridge City Cardinals hit the practise field with renewed enthusiasm this week.

“They feel like they have something to prove,” assistant football coach James Johnson commented as practise began. After three consecutive playoff runs the 2012 Cardinals are in the hunt for a fourth trip into the post season under Head Coach Cris Stump.

Joining the Cardinals in the quest is new offensive coordinator Gary Brewton. Brewton replaces Josh Smalley who became the new athletic director and head coach of the Orangefield Bobcats. Brewton comes to Bridge City from Ozen High School where he was offensive coordinator and quarterback coach the past three years. Brewton engineered one of the most explosive offenses in Dist. 20-4A last season averaging 350 yards and 28 BREWTON JOINS BC

Josh Smalley, the new head football coach for the Orangefield Bobcats, officially stepped onto the field as the leader and teacher for the team.

Coach Smalley, who recently came over from off a four year run as the Offensive Coordinator at Bridge City High School, has a lot to look forward to considering his football experience in the area. He was kind enough to let me sit in on a film

session with him a few days before camp, and the new head football coach of Orangefield High School was focused in like a laser beam.

Long since removed from his quarterbacking days at Bridge City High School, where he was an All-District player, Coach Smalley commenced training camp on Monday with everything resting on his shoulders.

“It’s a lot more responsibility,” he said, when asked about how it would change his preparation coming into the season as

the man in charge. “Instead of being the guy that’s taking orders, now you’re the guy who’s giving orders. Everything’s on me, ultimately. I still delegate a lot of responsibility to the assistant coaches, and they’ve been great so far doing the things that I’ve asked them to do, and thing’s that I haven’t asked them to do; but ultimately it’s all on me.”

points per game. Ozen scored over 60 points twice last season in the longest playoff run in school history.

“I am really excited to come to a community school like Bridge City,” says Brewton. “I am very familiar with the program and Coach Stump. This is a great opportunity for me and I cannot wait to get started.”

Brewton has been a varsity football coach for 15 years and has been coordinating the past 4 years. He lists several NFL coaches including Larry Kennan, Dave Cully, Adam Henry and Tony Marciano as major influences in his philosophies.

As practises begin this week Brewton was working with quarterbacks Daniel Faulk and Chase Suggart to fill the position vacated by Matt Menard who was graduated last year.

Other specialty position players were also graduated last year, receivers Cameron Dishon and Mitchell Hubbard will be missed but not irreplaceable. Receiver and defensive back Tanner Cervanka will be back in the lineup this season The strength of the 2012 Cardinals will be in a solid defense and one of the most powerful offensive lines in Dist. 21-3A. Brewton has been a featured lecturer for the coaches Choice DVD Series and is frequently seen on campuses of other high school and collegiate programs to hone his skills.

Returners for the Cardinals include Jordan Schamber, Caleb Spruell, Keaton Langston, Tanner Cervanka, Zack Cole, Jacob Scales, Ashton Hunter and Josh Henry among others.

The Cardinals will take on Lumberton as scrimmages begin on August 17. The Cardinals open their season on the road against the Newton Eagles on August 31.

ent with something to prove.

The Bobcats are coming off a 5-5 season, and are trying to put an end to a playoff drought that has been ongoing since the team’s last appearance in 2003.

With that being said; what kind of expectations should Coach Smalley have for the season?

Plenty. “My expectations are to win every game we play. That’s why we practice, that’s why we watch film, that’s why we prepare. I want to be a playoff team.” Along with offensive coordinator Brandon Prouse, and defensive coordinator Brian Waguespack; Coach Smalley plans to use the Slot-T as his offensive plan while implementing a 50 based formation on defense.

A key player returning and looking at seeing a larger role this season is Junior Running Back Carl Wiley. A considerable part of the offense last year, Wiley rushed for over 500 yard and three touchdowns on the year. He averaged 20 yard per kick return, which let’s you know he has some moves, and in one of the highlights of the year; took one to the house for 98 yards on a Jasper squad that was known for it’s speed.

“Carl is going to be a work horse for us, no doubt about it,” he said. “He’s been up here everyday this Summer, working hard, getting in shape and running. He’s going to be one of the main guys running the ball for us.”

camp this season. Even with the whole team as his responsibility, Smalley knows what it takes to use his valuable insight to help mentor the eventual starter because of his past as former high school quarterback and his years spent as the offensive coordinator for the Cardinals.

“You always want to gravitate to the kids in the positions you know about and that you are more comfortable with, and obviously quarterback is one of those positions I’m just comfortable being around,” Smalley said. “I’ve played it, studied it, researched it and coached it, so it’s something I’m very familiar with. I plan on being around the quarterback a lot this year.”

Quarterback is arguably the most important position on the field and Coach Smalley knows

better than anyone how important it is to have a special type of understanding and relationship with his play-caller.

“It’s very important. You’ve got to be able to trust that guy,” he said. “He’s an extension of you and he’s a coach on the field.

He’s the guy in the huddle... he’s got to have composure, a guy that the teammates look up to and believe in; he’s somebody who is going to get the job done.”

When Coach Smalley talks football, it’s natural, and you could tell from the casual nature that he did it with, that this is a person who is extremely knowledgeable about the game, a person who lives and breathes football and is all about the team SEE SMALLEY NEXT PAGE

first.

As the session came to a close, I asked him about Bobcat Nation and what it could expect as the season gets underway, and he replied “Come out and support the kids. We’re going to have a good year. We know people don’t expect much from us, but we expect a lot from ourselves. Come out and be loud. Be passionate fans. You’re going to like the product on the field, you’re going to like the way the kids behave themselves and represent Orangefield.

At the end of the year, I hope that we’re going into week 11 and week 12 in the playoffs, getting ready to play somebody and we hope you’ll be proud of the product we put on the field.”

With a promising season just around the corner, Orangefield opens up the season against the East Chambers Buccaneers on Friday, Aug. 31 out in Winnie, Texas. If you are part of Bobcat Nation, get your orange ready, and go out to represent your team.

Tournaments giving back to the community and experience of its anglers, but the prize money is considerable and no organization takes better care of its field of contestants!

While it is a very competitive team event, there is no good reason not to fish this one in 2013. I attended the Captain’s meeting the night before and they fed every contestant a huge steak along with potato salad, beans, cold drinks and beer. There was a live auction for fabulous trips and prizes, raffle drawings for everything from rod and reels to shotguns and every one there was walking around with a towel or t-shirt or both!

The following numbers will give you some idea of just how fast this thing has grown in only three years. The team entries increased from 93 last year to 142 this year and they paid 25 places a total of $10,720 in cash and prizes. An additional $500 was awarded the team with the winning flounder stringer when their fish were all released alive.

Fifteen of the twenty-three flounder weighed in were released alive!

COLBURN-FISHING DICKIE COLBURN discovered this past weekend that there is something even more challenging than fishing two tournaments at the same time and that is trying to cover both weigh-ins! As it turned out, I had to bale early on the Cops Helping Kids weigh-in as I have been working John Thomas’ O.C.A.R.C. event for the past 25 years and I wasn’t going to be late for this year’s edition.

Jim Morrissey really did me a solid by emailing me the final stats for the Cops Helping Kids Tournament. I can assure you that I wasn’t the only one making that run between Dick Dowling Park and the OCARC center in Orange. I was surprised at the number of fishermen that hustled to make the 3:00 pm weigh-in at Dick Dowling and the 6 p.m. weighin in Orange.

The weigh masters from the S.A.L.T. Club handling the Cops Helping Kids weighin didn’t keep the fish so that folks fishing both tournaments could weigh the same fish. I talked with Chris Romano at the OCARC weigh-in and he had driven all the way back just to donate his fish for the Sunday evening fish fry for the kids at the center!

At least a dozen or more fishermen that I talked with at the OCARC event were looking forward to fishing both tournaments next year and were hoping the Cops Helping Kids event could be scheduled a little earlier or later. Viator told me at their Captain’s meeting the night before that he was simply trying to avoid several other tournaments when initially planning this one and wasn’t even aware of the annual OCARC date at the time.

“Both tournaments are benefit events that help folks in their communities that really need it,” said Viator, “and we will try to find a date next year that accommodates the fishermen, sponsors, and both organizations.” The format for both tournaments is really on the opposite ends of the scale, however, and for the most part, neither attracts the same core group of fishermen.

Perhaps no other tournament in this part of the state does more to get not only the kids, but the entire family involved in fishing than the annual OCARC tourney. The kids fish free, the entry fee for the parent or guardian is still only $25 and every kid that weighs in a fish earns at the very least a trophy and in some cases, a check as well. At least half of the winners are always

ed some serious extra cash as well, but first second and third in each division paid the biggest bucks with a total of $2250 up for grabs in each.

Team Daley’s Hunt N Fish #2 won the red division and a $1000 with 2 reds that weighed 15.18 pounds. Team Spanky’s Wrecker #1 won the trout division with 11.95 pounds, and Team County Home and Ranch #2 won the flounder division with 5.82 pounds. Team Jordan won the largest red pot with an 8.66 pound fish, Team Spanky’s Wrecker #1 won the largest trout pot with a 7.64 pound trout and Team Rising won the flounder pot with a 4.43 pound fish.

There is no doubt that the Jefferson County Sheriffs Association needs a few weeks to catch their breath before making plans for next year’s event, but you need to mark that date down on your calendar as soon as it is released.

Congratulations to not only both organizations for a job well done, but to the sponsors and fishermen that support them each year as well. Fishing for a cause is far more gratifying than fishing for a prize!

High school, college, pro football practices underway KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

Although the NFL training camps have been going full-speed ahead for the last 10 days or so, conditioning drills began for both high school and collegiate football players this week.

High school teams that opted for spring practice (Ozen, Central and West Brook in Beaumont, Port Arthur Memorial and Port Neches-Groves) won’t begin until Monday.

Our two area Southland Conference members, the Lamar Cardinals and my alma mater McNeese, began the brutal conditioning drills.

The Houston Texans and New Orleans Saints have their respective training camps near their home stadiums while the Dallas Cowboys are practicing this summer at Oxnard, Calif. where they have normally spent a portion of their practices in previous years.

The University Interscholastic League has modified some of its rules in an effort to make high school football safer for the players. Teams cannot put on pads and their full protective gear until four days of practice are completed. Practice during the first four days cannot last longer than three hours.

The second practice during the first week is for teaching only and not conditioning. Then, on the fifth day, they can hold two-day practices, but not on consecutive days.

Water breaks are unlimited during high school practices with many schools providing fruit and even pickle juice to help the athletes get acclimated to the extreme Texas heat in August.

West Orange-Stark Mustangs head coach Cornel Thompson has added a special wrinkle for Friday’s first day with full pads—Midnight Madness. The Mustang hopefuls will don the pads late Thursday night and begin practice at 12:01 a.m. Friday. Fans are urged to be on hand for a fun-filled early morning extravaganza.

The NFL’s new collective bargaining agreement also has banned two-a-day practice sessions while many colleges have cut back on multiple practice days over the last few years.

The Dallas Cowboys have moderated their approach to training camp by trying to be less boisterous about the upcoming season, especially from Idiot Owner Jerry Jones and overweight defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, who just about guaranteed a Super Bowl appearance last season.

In reality the Cowboys have struggled just to be a mediocre NFL team, instead of trying to live up to being America’s Team of the past. The Pokes in the last 15 years have posted a 120120 record in the regular season and 1-6 in the playoffs.

Seven-time All-Pro tight end Jason Witten knows the window of opportunity is closing as he approaches his tenth season with the Cowboys. He’s only been in four playoff games with Dallas with the Pokes posting only a single victory.

The Cowboys are aware that their opening game of the 2012 season Sept. 5 against the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants could be their toughest and most important game of the season.

Head Coach Jason Garrett, whose job could very well be in jeopardy, is determined to make his team mentally tougher than it has been in the past. His main concern was the fourthquarter leads the Cowboys blew in five of their eight losses last season.

“These are long practices with a lot of running,” Garrett told the press last week. “But you have to be able to gut it out. This is what the fourth quarter is going to be like. We haven’t gotten the job done. It’s a bottom-line, get-the-job-done business. I think our team understands that.”

Another place where things are far from routine during training camp is down in New Orleans where the Saints are operating without Head Coach Sean Payton, who has been suspended for the entire 2012 season by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for his knowledge of the alleged pay-to-injure bounty program.

The Saints players intend to pay homage to Payton by leaving an empty seat for him in the Saints’ meeting room as well as on the team bus and plane.

The team named assistant Joe Vitt as the interim coach, but has not said who the interim-for-the-interim coach will be when Vitt begins serving his six-game suspension when the regular-season begins.

However, the Saints were successful Sunday in the season’s first exhibition game—the annual Hall of Fame Game at Canton, Ohio—defeating the Arizona Cardinals 17-10. Arizona starting quarterback Kevin Kolb left the game after the third series with bruised ribs after a “clean” tackle by the Saints’ defense.

The Houston Texans had Monday off as they prepare for their first preseason game Saturday at Carolina. Head Coach Gary Kubiak was happy because the team finished what he categorized as a “good week” of practice and let his players take off the pads a half-hour early Saturday.

On the college scene the Lamar Cardinals began practicing Monday night as they prepared for their season’s opener at Louisiana-Lafayette Sept. 1. Head Coach Ray Woodard said that of the 22 projected starters on offense and defense as few as four and not more than six will be seniors.

And across the Sabine River in Lake Charles, La. the McNeese State Cowboys reported for practice last Tuesday and put the pads on for the first time Friday. Head Coach Matt Viator is determined to improve on the Cowboys’ 6-5 record as they get ready for their first game Aug. 30 (Thurs.) against Middle Tennessee State at Murfreesboro, TN. The Texas Aggies are excited about abandoning the Big 12 and going to the Southeastern Conference to play “real college football” for a change. The Aggies are trying like crazy to not look past their season opener Aug. 30 against Louisiana Tech at Shreveport to the SEC opener the following weekend against Florida at Kyle Field.

And the Texas Longhorns were looking for team leaders when they officially started preseason camp Sunday. Another priority for Head Coach Mack Brown was to name a starting quarterback between sophomore David Ash and junior Case McCoy. Brown rotated both quarterbacks all last season without naming a permanent starter.

The ‘Horns open the season against Wyoming Sept. 1 and then play New Mexico the following Saturday.

Magnum sized fish on mini sized plugs OUTDOORS/FISHING 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 “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.

Fleetwood Mac, winning countless awards, selling out venues around the world, and helping define the sound of rock for the last 3 decades Lindsey Buckingham is the predominant musical force behind such Fleetwood Mac albums as Rumours and the innovative Tusk. He has also created a critically acclaimed body of solo work that yielded the hits, “Trouble,” “Go Insane,” and “Holiday Road.”

In his intimate-one-man show, Lindsey will showcase his distinctive guitar picking style and instantly recognizable voice in his usual aweinspiring form, captivating his audience with songs from his recent album, SEEDS WE SOW, as well as performing a combination of favorites from his previous solo albums, along with a variety of Fleetwood Mac classics.

This 90-minute program is expected to include such favorites as “Cast Away Dreams,” “Bleed to Love Her,” “Not Too Late,” “Stephanie,” “Come,” “Shut Us Down,” “Go Insane,” “Never Going Back Again,”

“Big Love,” “I’m So Afraid,” “Go Your Own Way,” “Trouble,” and “Seeds We Sow.” Regarding the new tour he says, “As I’ve grown as an artist, I’ve gotten more and more in touch with my center, and that center is voice and guitar. Over time it has become increasingly vital to express more with less; that is my touchstone now, and the embodiment of that philosophy is what will be largely represented in the new show. I’ve been thinking of doing this kind of tour for a while, and am quite excited to be doing something new, something outside my comfort zone.”

Due to overwhelming demand, Lindsey Buckingham is extending his critically acclaimed U.S. tour and the Lutcher Theater is one of only five Texas performance dates.

This tour precedes the recently announced Fleetwood Mac reunion tour planned for 2013, according to Stevie Nicks.

He set world records in the 100 and 200 in Beijing, then lowered them at the 2009 world track and field championships, 9.58 and 19.19.

The Astros tied the game 1-1 in the sixth inning, but a two-out wild pitch by starter Bud Norris with the bases loaded and a single broke the game wide open. Through Sunday’s loss the Astros stood at 36-73 and a paltry 11-46 away from home. Houston is entertaining the NL East Division-leading Washington Nationals in a four- game series that began Monday at Minute Maid Park.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has kept a low profile off the football field since his July 16 arrest for allegedly assaulting his mother. The troubled former Lufkin High and Oklahoma State standout needs to forget about trying to be a convict and concentrate on playing football. “He’s screwed around here and got his benefit of the doubt collateral down to nothing,” commented Cowboy owner Jerry Jones. “I know how much football means to him and instincts tell me that’s going to be a big motivator for him.”

JUST BETWEEN US…An editorial by Washington Post columnist George Will that ran Sunday about “accumulating evidence about football’s impact on players raised questions about the continuing viability of the sport” has gotten plenty of attention early this week. Will points out “in 1980 only three NFL players weighed 300 or more pounds. In 2011, according to profootball-reference.com, there were 352 and three that tipped the scales over 350. Various unsurprising studies indicate high early mortality rates among linemen resulting from cardiovascular disease. For players who play five or more years, life expectancy is less than 60; for linemen it is much less.” Wills concludes his editorial “accumulating evidence about new understandings of the human body—the brain, especially, but not exclusively— compel the conclusion that football is a mistake because the body is not built to absorb, and cannot be adequately modified by training or protected by equipment to absorb, the game’s kinetic energies.”

New Changes For Social Security And Federal Benefit Recipients (StatePoint) The U.S. Department of the Treasury is phasing out paper federal benefit checks. Everyone who receives Social Security, Supplement Security Income (SSI) or other federal benefit payments by check is required to switch to electronic payments by March 1, 2013.

“This move will save taxpayers $1 billion over the next 10 years, while ensuring all federal benefit recipients receive their money in the safest, most reliable way possible,” says David A. Lebryk, commissioner of the Treasury Department’s Financial Management Service.

While about 90 percent of Social Security and SSI payments are being made electronically, there are still approximately 7 million checks issued to beneficiaries monthly.

Switching to electronic payments now is one simple step you can take to free up your summer days.

No More Check Troubles There are lots of hassles with paper checks that can get in the way of enjoying summer.

Electronic payments eliminate monthly trips to the bank or credit union to cash or deposit checks.

When your summer plans involve travel, you don’t have to worry about a check sitting unsecured in your mailbox while you’re away.

“I encourage federal benefit recipients or their caregivers to make the switch to electronic payments today,” says Lebryk.

“You’ll be ensuring funds are delivered in a safe, convenient way, while saving yourself an extra ‘to-do’ this summer.”

Two Electronic Options The Treasury Department is recommending two electronic options that make receiving payments easier.

The Go Direct(R) campaign makes it fast, free and easy to switch to electronic payments online at www.GoDirect.org or through the U.S. Treasury Electronic Payment Solution Center toll-free at 1-800-333-1795. You can choose either: • Direct deposit to a checking or savings account. Your federal benefit payment will go straight into your account on payment day each month.

• Direct Express(R) Debit MasterCard(R) card. If you don’t have a bank account or prefer a prepaid debit card, switch to the Direct Express(R) card. There are no sign-up fees, overdraft fees or monthly fees. Some fees for optional services may apply. For information on card fees and features, visit www.GoDirect.org.

This information has been provided by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Financial Management Service.

The Go Direct(R) campaign is sponsored by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve Banks. The Direct Express(R) logo, Go Direct(R) and Direct Express(R) are registered service marks, and the Go Direct(R) logo is a service mark, of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Financial Management Service.
