President Obama extends benefits for Gulf War veterans Penny Leleux

For The Record

New laws passed for veterans that served in the Gulf War. These veterans have five years to file from the date of discharge. According to Orange County Veterans Service Officer Gene Smith, President Obama just extended that deadline, so all Gulf War veterans should file now.

Smith said Gulf War Syndrome is linked to veterans that served in the Persian Gulf. They may have an illness which a doctor hasn’t been able to pinpoint the cause.

“The veterans’ office has a list of illnesses recognized by the Department of Veterans Affairs as part of the Gulf War Syndrome ruling,” said Smith “Gulf War veterans are encouraged to utilize the office, if only to file for medical benefits.” He said all veterans should certify their discharges

Veterans receiving 70-100 percent service connected disabilities can reSMITH ceive discounts on taxes and car tags. Those at 100 percent disability receive tax relief and as of last year, widows of those vets also receive tax relief. Spouses can also receive medical insurance and qualify for Department of Veterans’ Affairs discounts.

Smith encourages all retired veterans to file for benefits.

The office, located on Farm Road 1442, about one mile south of Interstate 10, is supported by the county and services are offered to veterans for free. Smith said he still gets veterans coming in that said they didn’t know the office was there.

There are two benefits coordinators, Michael Powell and Angela Johnson. Charlotte Burrell, the administrative assistant is also certified in Veterans disability claims and can answer questions over the phone. Smith also assists with filing widow or veterans’ disability benefits or pensions.

The coordinators are trained each year with all the new laws to assist vets in filling out the paperwork required to file a claim.

Veterans that served during war time periods and are nearly destitute may qualify for pension benefits where they would not qualify for Social Security benefits. Smith said disability benefits can increase income and are nontaxable. Widows of veterans should contact the office to

Teal confesses to Ronnie Herman shooting 10 years ago this week

Faith leads to murder confession Debby Schamber For The Record

L

ife is often full of lessons learned such as the longest journey starts with a single step.

During his lifetime, Thomas Teal,56, started on his journey several times and along the way took many missteps before finding the right path.

It is 10 years ago this week, Teal confessed to an Orange County Deputy, he had participated in the crime of murder in Sept. 1977.

Investigators for more than 25 years believed the Teal brothers had committed the murder of Ronnie Herman, but did not have sufficient evidence to make the arrests.

Thomas Teal had gone to the sheriff’s office in Sept. 2002, to make a report against his younger brother, Donald Teal, who had stolen his lawn mower and sold it for money to buy drugs. He met with the deputy and like many times before, he handed him a copy of his testimony which is what he did when he came in contact with people.

Daniel Ray Andrews, 24, was recently sentenced to 20 years in prison by Judge Dennis Powell, of the 163rd District Court on second degree felony charges of injury to a child. He received the maximum sentence for the charge.

The charges stem from an incident in February when he was left alone with his girlfriend’s 14-month-old son.

The baby had soiled his diaper and spit-up on his clothes when Andrews decided to give him a bath. As a result, the baby received second degree burns on 65 percent of his body. His mother took him to a local hospital where law enforcement was called.

The Orange County Radio Control Club is hosting a “Flyin” Saturday, but this time the activity will be extra special since the LifeShare Blood Center will also be present for the event.

“Everyone is welcome to come fly, have lunch and donate blood,” said Don Marshall, treasurer of the Orange County R/C club.

Club President, Jeff Reed, has been the driving force for this fly-in, Marshall added.

The club has had fly-ins before, but this one is unique because of the addition of LifeShare.

“We want to help them out because the blood supply is low,” Marshall said.

The Record • Week of Wednesday, September 5, 2012

Faith frees convict has led him to his strong faith in God. He passes out copies in hopes of helping others.

The deputy, who was familiar with the murder case, told Thomas, “I have a sign in my office which says underneath it, ‘“I shall not kill,’” according to Record Archives. The deputy added, “I work for the Lord too and my job is the truth seeker.” The deputy then asked who had killed Herman.

Thomas says he thought about what the deputy said and he prayed.

“God said to make a clean slate,” Thomas said. “I had to obey what God told me to do.”

But, he admits it was not easy.

“The hard part was trusting Him,” he said. “I could have gotten life.”

However, Thomas said giving a confession was a relief and like a large weight has been lifted from his shoulders.

The confession to the murder enabled officers to arrest Donald. But, Donald had met a woman in Oklahoma and had left Orange County two months prior. When they arrived in Oklahoma, Donald had left about two hours before their arrival and was on his way to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

It wasn’t long before deputies received information from the Myrtle Beach Police Department, Donald was in jail for domestic violence.

Deputies flew to meet with Donald at the jail a week later and he confessed to the murder.

However, he would be released from jail before the Orange County deputies could get an arrest warrant. Donald returned to Oklahoma. A bulletin was issued for his arrest and authorities apprehend him in Cherokee County, according to Record archives.

Thomas was in jail on a $100,000 bond. His brother, Donald would join him there within a week. In an affidavit of probable cause, both brothers told of the events which lead up to the murder.

Both brothers were in the drug dealing business.

They were into pharmaceutical drugs, Thomas said.

Herman also was a drug dealer, and according to Thomas had intentions of killing him in order to take over his source of drugs.

“He had bragged he had cut some people’s heads off with a machete in West Orange and was going to kill me too,” Thomas said.

According to archives, Thomas’ statement said Donald picked up Herman in his Oldsmobile Cutlass and brought him back to the Teal residence. After they arrived, Thomas met them on the porch. Donald got out of his vehicle and walked up to the porch and stood in the doorway. As Herman walked toward the house, Thomas, from about 15 to 20 feet away, fired a shot gun filled with bird shot which scattered across his body.

“I didn’t want to die,” Thomas said. “It was him or me.”

After being shot, Herman started yelling, “Help, he shot me!” and ran toward where Donald was standing. Thomas stated he then ran behind his house when he heard two shots.

“He shot him twice in the head,” Thomas Teal said.

Thomas said in his statement, Donald then came to the back of the house and told him it was over.

Donald ‘s statement varies from that of his brother although the outcome is the same.

According to archives, Donald stated it was Thomas who had brought Herman into their illegal drug business. Thomas had furnished Herman with some illegal pills, but Herman refused to pay for them until he had met their source. He added he had picked up Herman from Second Street in Orange and brought him back to their residence. Donald said he went into the house pretending to call the drug source while Thomas stayed outside talking to Herman. Donald then heard Herman shouting, “He shot me! He shot me!” and went outside to see what had happened. Donald stated he thought his brother had shot Herman. Donald told investigators he thought Herman was running towards him because Herman was going to kill him. Donald stated he fired a shot toward Herman which struck him in the chest.

Donald fired another shot while Herman was on the ground.

Both brothers stated they got a plastic bag from the house and placed it around Herman’s head and chest in order to keep the blood out of the trunk of Donald’s vehicle. They stated they drove to the Hartburg and stopped near a concrete bridge. Together they placed Herman’s body in the water, according to archives.

Investigators had their work cut out for them, but managed to gather information, even though a lot of their witnesses had since died because of the many years since the murder occurred.

Thomas was sentenced to 12 years in prison while Donald was sentenced to 30 years. Thomas served five years and was released in Sept.

2007. Donald remains in prison with a projected release date of June 5, 2014.

discuss possible benefits. Veterans should file a claim if only to protect their spouses and burial benefits that may be available, but only if the veteran files a claim. Medical benefits may be available for veterans, but must be applied for.

The veteran service office assists with filing the three-page application.

There is also a VA counselor for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that comes to the office once a week for counseling sessions.

Smith says there is no waiting three months

According to Thomas, his brother, Donald, is “still angry” and has drug issues. He sends him money and prays for him.

“I pray his heart will change,” Thomas said.

“Satan has a hold of him bad.”

Thomas said he is not worried about Donald being released and says he is leaving it all to God. Prison was not easy for Thomas. While he was there, the other inmates cussed at him and called him all sorts of names. They also threatened and robbed him. In addition, they tried to get him to do drugs and smoke cigarettes with them.

“But I would not compromise my testimony by playing any of their games,” he writes in his testimony. ‘I trusted God and put it all in His hands.”

While in prison he shared his commissary with those who did not have anything. As a result, he says God blessed him because he always had plenty.

“I ran out of commissary money a couple of times and they wanted me to write and ask for more money; but I would just pray and it would show up. God protected me, provided for me, guided me, helped me the whole time I was there, “ he wrote.

The roads Thomas had taken throughout his life were filled with dangerous turns.

When he was 17 years old he quit school and joined the Navy. The Vietnam war was underway and he wanted to show everyone he was “not scared like they were.” He had his 18th birthday overseas. He “started walking in the ways of the world” during boot camp. After the war was over, the President authorized 10,000 discharges and he was lucky enough to receive one, according to his written testimony.

“I was discharged from the Navy, but not the world,” he wrote. “I stayed in the ways of the world for the next 21 years.”

In 1983, Thomas was in northern Georgia, drinking whiskey and smoking “dope” when he got into a fight with three men. He was OK and went back to his house. Thomas and his wife lived upstairs in a two-story house. One of the men he had gotten into the fight with and had received the worst of the beating lived downstairs with his wife.

“He started hollering and cussing me saying how he was going to whip me good,” he wrote. “‘I started down the stairs, he opened the door and emptied a .22 automatic on me.”

Thomas was struck 11 times by the bullets.

He still has two of the bullets inside him. They are located near his lung and in his leg.

“I lived through all that, but did not give God the glory,” he wrote. “I thought it was because I was so big and bad that I lived.”

Thomas continued through his life in the “ways of the world.”

His life would take a dramatic turn in June 1985. He was in Cow Creek and was once again drinking whiskey and smoking “dope.”He decided to go across the river into Louisiana to visit his cousin. He got into a fight with his wife and he lost control of the vehicle. It began to roll and he was thrown out the window and “bounced off of five pine trees.”He suffered from broken bones and was in a coma for over two months.

“I had 13 doctors say that I would never live, but if I did I would be confined to a wheelchair and be a vegetable for the rest of my life,” he wrote.

His brother had a preacher come to his bedside and pray for him.

“He rode his Harley down from Houston, put his hands on me and prayed for me,” he wrote.

“I woke up before he got back to Houston.”

Eight months later, his wife said she “didn’t want to live with a cripple” anymore and wanted a divorce. After she left, he dove back into the bottle again, he said.

But, he wanted a change, so he quit drinking in Sept. 1988. Thomas said he was tired of feeling bad from the effects of the alcohol. In addition, he was tired of drinking to escape from his life and trying to forget what he had done.

“I have been clean and sober for 23 years,” he says proudly. “It feels good too.”

Thomas said he has many regrets in his life.

One is living that type of lifestyle which led to the death of Herman.

He found a ride to church and to his surprise it was the same one he had left. By 1995 he rededicated his life to the Lord. Driven by his faith, he confessed to murder in 2002.

Since his release, life is “good” for Thomas.

He starts each day with reading his Bible. It has a leather cover and is made by the prison leather factory which he purchased after his release.

He still prays daily to get closer to God. He then has his morning coffee. Thomas goes to church every Sunday morning. Also in attendance at the church is the judge who sentenced him to prison whom he now calls “my brother.” He said he does not have a wife or children, but the church members are his “family.”

From the Creaux’s Nest WHEN DISASTER STRICKS All that is left of Isaac in Louisiana and Mississippi is some weary residents trying to put their lives back together. For some it will be a long haul. Isaac left its muddy mess behind.

The water swallowed up cars, houses and roads. In some areas flood waters rose shockingly fast. Roy’s sister, Shirley, was caught in the fast rise. With no power, she had no notice that the dam had broken. Her house sits on 2.5 foot piers. The water was on her porch before she realized she was in danger. In waist high water she made her way to a two story, beach-type cabin where she was later rescued by boat and moved to a Red Cross shelter. It was an anxious 24 hours for Roy and his family not knowing her whereabouts and concerned about her failing health. Thankfully she’s fine. Just one of thousands of stories. Unless someone has gone through what we went though with Ike, it’s hard for others to comprehend.

Many around the country pay little attention to other disaster areas, fires, floods, etc. In a way, Isaac was far worse than Katrina was outside of New Orleans because of the water breaching levies and breaking dams. Thanks to our federal government, people will have a chance to rebuild their lives and communities. The President declared both states disaster areas. A sidebar: Mitt Romney flew into Louisiana for a quick photo-op and flew out 45 minutes later. People will see his landing for what it was. The point I want to make is that at the same time Louisianan newspapers were carrying Sen. Mary Landrieu’s outrage over Paul Ryan’s budget, calling for cutting disaster funds by $10 billion a year. His plans call for rebuilding the infrastructure, roads, public buildings, etc., but citizens would be on their own to rebuild their lives without the government safety net. He called it deficit reduction. When the disaster funds ran dry, Ryan and his fellow congressmen did not want it replenished. Sen. Landrieu was able to apply enough pressure to build up the fund. It’s a good thing and Louisianan people are praising her efforts.

All’s well that ends well and thanks to a government that looks after their misfortunate.*****I’ve gotta move on. Please come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm.

OUR CONDOLENCES Marguerite Force, age 84, passed away this past Friday, Aug. 31, at home. Recent test in Houston showed she had advanced cancer. She was sent home and was surrounded by the family that loved her. Marguerite and Harold Force were married 64 years and were the parents of a large family of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She and Harold treasured their life together. Marguerite was a kind, compassionate person who devoted much of her life doing for others through her civic and church work. She will truly be missed, not only by family but also by the longtime friends or anyone who was privileged to know her. (Please see obituary.)*****We were also sorry to learn of the unexpected death of Dale Thompson, 84, who died on Aug. 31. We had known Dale for many years. If you ever met Dale, you would never forget him. He was just a friendly guy who never met a stranger and before long you would feel like you had known this guy forever. He truly enjoyed life. Our condolences go out to Dale, Steve, Cyndi and their families. May he rest in peace. (See obituary.)

RYAN’S FACT CHECK PROBLEMS Fact Check has found Paul Ryan was less than straight in his comments in his convention presentation. Ryan actually told four outright untruths He also was sited for making not quite complete statements. He lied about the G.M. plant in his home town being closed under Obama. Not true; Fact Check found it was closed in Dec. 2008, while Bush was still president. Ryan said Obama’s removal of $700 billion from Medicare would destroy the program. Fact Check found switching the $700 billion to the Affordable Health Care program would extend the life of Medicare and afford more programs to the elderly. Fact Check found that Ryan’s budget also removes $700 billion, but that money would be to reduce taxes and Medicare would be switched to a voucher system.

Ryan criticized Obama for ignoring the recommendations of the Simpson-Bowles commission, when the truth is, Ryan, who was on that commission, encouraged the Republican House members to vote against it, killing it and blaming Obama. He blamed Obama for our credit rating. Not true, Congress caused it. Ryan doesn’t seem to let the truth get in the way. Listen to this, it’s a brand new deal about Ryan’s lying. A month ago, acting macho, Ryan told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt that he had run a “Two hour and fifty something, 26-mile marathon.” He supposedly told that story other places. That’s a pace of seven minutes per mile. Runners World Magazine said can’t be. They found that Ryan had completed one marathon in 1990, and finished over four hours. Ryan admitted, when confronted, that he had exaggerated in marathon claims on the national broadcast. He released a statement apologizing. The guy appears to have a problem with the truth, plus he and Eric Canter have held speaker John Boehner and the country hostage. They have made his life miserable and embarrassed him by making him publicly back down on a jobs bill that he had made a deal on.

I’m told the twins are cold blooded and they make Karl Rove and Tom DeLay look like choir boys. Canter supposedly has the blackest heart but Ryan has problems with the truth.

A FEW HAPPENINGS Sunday, Sept. 9, is National Grandparents Day. Today, many grandparents play a different role than they did before the 1970’s. Many grandparents are raising their grandchildren or some of their children have come back home as single parents. Even though there is a day for recognizing grandparents, they are often forgotten in the grand scheme of things. I enjoy being a grandparent, maybe more so than being a parent. Up until they reached their late teens, they brought joy and many fun days. Like most grandparents, I hope I gave them something they will carry with them throughout life. If you are fortunate enough to have one or more grandparents think back to earlier days at grandma and pa‘s place. Recall the great days, the fun with cousins and the food, oh, yes, grandma‘s cooking.

Take time this Sunday to remember grandparents, even if they’re not with you. *****Speaking of grandparents, a census report on aging finds more people are reaching age 90. Among the 90-plus, women outnumber men 3 to 1. People who are 90 or older have nearly tripled since 1980. Analysts attribute better nutrition, advances in medical care, reducing heart disease and stroke. Living older states are North Dakota, #1; followed

by Connecticut, Iowa and South Dakota. All cold states. I don‘t know if I would want to live 90 years there.*****Speaking of old folks, George “Possum“ Jones, a Southeast Texas native and country music legend, has announced his last concert tour will be in 2013. Jones, 81, has begun work on a new album with Dolly Parton. Many country stars consider Jones the greatest country singer. Jones dropped out of school in the seventh grade and started picking and singing in local venues around Beaumont. This writer recalls when he would help out at his brother‘s service station and ran with J.P. Richardson, Slim Watts and the guys from KFDM radio. His greatest hit “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” is considered one of the best country music songs ever. Also a standard is “White lighting.”

The “Possum“ never recorded a bad song.*****Other old people we know, Judge Pat was complaining about Judge Buddie Hahn getting a front page story for jury duty. When Judge Pat served, he was made fun of for taking the $6 jury pay. We ran Judge Pat and Rosalie’s 43nrd anniversary announcement which was Aug. 31. It came out in this column as Aug. 3. We‘re

sorry, but now Pat wants his money back and we didn‘t even charge him *****Attorney Joe Alford, a West Orange boy, who has been practicing law since 1974, from time to time visits Judge Pat, trying to improve his image. .*****A few folks we know celebrating their special day. Our friend Judge Mike Abbott marks his special day Wed. Sept. 5. Best wishes.***Sheriff Keith Merritt turns 62 on Sept. 6.***Kendrick Harris will become a teenager on Sept. 7. Happy 13th Kendrick.***Gerald Leleux, Penny’s other half, celebrates Sept. 7.***Dr. Howard Williams puts another notch in the tree of life on Sept. 8.***Janet Leleux, Penny and Gerald’s daughter, makes them feel a little older on Sept. 9.***One of my sweethearts, Sharon Gearheart, turns 59 on Sept. 9. We haven’t seen her in a long time but I don’t want to go to Merritt’s jail to see her, where she’s a jailer.***Our dear friend, Millard “Billy” “Neighbor” Cox turns 88 on Sept. 9. He doesn’t step near as high as he used to. He hears better on the phone by taking his hearing aid out. He still tries to farm and sometimes he gets lucky. His main goal always is caring for Ms. Jenny. A great couple I’m proud to call friends. Have a happy birthday.***Darlene Fair will celebrate her big 60 on Sept. 10.***Come Sept. 10, Tonya Barnwell will be older.

What a nice lady she is. Tonya comes from good stock. Her grandparents were Sheriff Chester and Iva Holt, her parents, Nova and Jerry Strickland. Happy birthday to all.

Please see complete birthday list.*****Happy belated birthday to a nice lady, Linda Steward, who turned 61 on Sept. 1.***Ann Oliver Hall celebrated her birthday Sept. 3. Happy belated to Ann.*****Congrats to Pinehurst for another successful Labor Day picnic. Fourteen years ago, it was the brainchild of then Mayor Pete Runnels. This year, Pete is again mayor. He walked around and greeted the natives. Meanwhile, Pinehurst City Administrator Joe Parkhurst worked his butt off.

Sidenotes: Longest married couple at the picnic were Lorene and Ray Camp, married 66 years. The lucky winners of two rocking chairs, given by Welch Furniture, were Marie Browning and a guy who will soon need it, Stump Weatherford. A big screen TV, donated by Orange Savings Bank, was won by Juanita Schlicher. Doug Childress and his group entertained and the Orange Blossom Dancers performed. Everyone had a great time. Around 700 attended.*****The Wednesday Lunch Bunch will dine at Robert’s this week. Last week, Phillip Welch attended as the guest of Don Shockley. Phillip has since visited us here at the office. He will be our new neighbor, doing PR work for Al and Dean Granger at Granger Chevrolet. Everyone is always welcome. Y’all come.*****A nice guy, who visited us Tuesday, is Mike King, new superintendent at BCISD. The board at Bridge City always seems to come up with a great choice to run their schools. Mike really cares and is dedicated but boy, he’s a tall drink of water.

CELEBRITY BIRTHDAYS Raquel Welch will be 72 on Sept. 5 and Bob Newhart, 83.***David Allen Coe will be 73 on Sept. 6;and Jeff Foxworthy will be 54.***Evan Rachel Wood will be 25 on Sept. 7; Shannon Elizabeth, 39.***Pink will be 33 on Sep. 8; David Arquette, 41 and Brooke Burke, 41.***Adam Sandler will be 46 on Sept. 9; Michael Buble, 37; Hugh Grant, 52 and Michelle Williams, 32.***Colin Firth will be 52 on Sept. 10; Guy Ritchie, 44 and Ryan Phillippe, 38.***Harry Connick, Jr. will be 45 on Sept. 11; Ludacris, 35 and Moby, 47.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Otis “Fats” Comeaux took his wife, Alice, to da big dance at da Dairy Festival. “Tee-Bruce” and da Cajun Ramblers was playing da music. Slim Thibodeaux, him, was on da dance floor dancing like a pro him. Slim was break dancing, moon walking, doing the back flip and da split. “Fats” him, he was jus sitting dere tapin his finger to da music and not dancing.

His wife look at him and say, “Otis, you see dat man wat is dancing him?” “Yea, I see him me,” “Fats” answered.

“Well, Otis,” said Alice, ”Twenty five years ago he propose to me him, and I turned him down.”

“Fats” answer, “It looks like to me dat he’s still celebrating him.”

C’EST TOUT Before I close out here I’m sure you’ll want to get my take on the RNC’s political convention. Well, I’m a political junkie. I watched it but what surprised me is how few local people did.

I asked many people if they had seen Clint Eastwood’s imitation of Foster Brooks? Most had not. The most important issues to me, foreign policy, national security and education didn’t get any mention. None, except for Gov. Romney saying Russia is our number one enemy. He went back to the Cold War. The truth is he and Ryan have no idea about our security. On the other hand, we now have one of the best foreign policy teams in my memory, Vice-president Biden, who is an expert, Sec. of State Hillary Clinton and Defense Sec. Leon Panetta. Education is our greatest future weapon and yet state after state is robbing the money from schools to balance their budgets. Cheating our young students, teachers and school administrations. The RNC didn’t mention education except to belittle teacher unions. Most of the speakers seemed to be playing their own gigs and shooting for 2016. Honestly, I watched it with an open mind and wasn’t very impressed. I was disappointed that our young dying in Afghanistan didn’t even deserve a mention. Everyone stroked themselves but no mention of our troops. Gov. Rick Perry was working the floor for 2016. You think they know something?*****The Democratic convention opened Tuesday with a knockout speech by First Lady Michelle Obama and a keynote address by San Antonio mayor Julian Castro, who was introduced by his twin brother, who is running for congress. Wednesday will be a big day. President Bill Clinton will speak but his speech will be right in the middle of the Cowboy/Giant game. Bad planning maybe but they will get a lot of play because Bill is that good. A lot of good speakers on Thursday, including President Obama. It will be a fun convention, much different than the straight lace party in Tampa. I wouldn’t miss it. You shouldn’t either. It will be great entertainment but mostly it will give you a clear choice.*****I’ve gotta go. Don’t miss reading the story about the Teal brothers who killed Ronnie Herman. An exclusive interview and story by Debby Shamber.

Thanks for your time, and Happy Grandparents Day. Take care and God bless.

New Indian in Town I’m proud to announce a spanking brand-new Indian has joined the reservation at Port Neches, Class of 2030.

My little grandson, Noah David Wood, was born August 21, 11:37 a.m. to Susan, Gayle and my elder daughter. Mom and son are doing fine.

Dad is a wreck. Siblings are both puzzled and curious and feeling a little left out.

The little guy has ten toes, ten fingers, and he is healthy. What more can you ask?

We held him within two or three hours of his birth, and what surprised me most was that he was pink—a healthy pink. He wasn’t yellow with jaundice, red and wrinkled from being so scrunched up in his tiny abode of nine months, but pink and smooth.

Now, all babies are precious, a gift to us from God to nurture and rear to be a decent human being. But the truth is, and if you’ll admit it, most infants fresh into this big wide world don’t look exactly like Gerber babies.

Once when Bill Cosby was talking about the birth of his children, he claimed when he saw the first one, he thought his wife had given birth to a lizard.

Think back. Remember?

But Noah was different.

I held him for about twenty or thirty minutes all swaddled in his blankets and cap. He slept the whole time while I marveled at his color.

Most infants take a couple days to pink out.

His brother, Mikey, is six, heading off for kindergarten this year at Taft Elementary in Groves. Mikey takes after his Dad, Big Mike, euphemistically called such because of his height, one so lofty he has to duck to come in the door.

Mikey comes to about my chest and probably scares the dickens out of ninety pounds. The Peewee football coaches love him.

His older sister, Hannah, is in the sixth grade at Groves Middle School.

I have a feeling Noah might take up acting or some sort of drama because for the last few weeks, he kept us all in suspense. Just like the consummate actor, he has a sense of perfect timing. Hold off until the last second to milk all the tension possible from the audience.

You see, Susan had a feeling the little fella might come early, so each day for the last few weeks, we halfway expected him to put in an appearance.

Day after day, he was a no-show. Day after day, we waited, holding our breaths, keeping our fingers crossed. And day after day, he just remained warm and snug.

Gayle and I laughed about it. Who could blame him? What kind of sense does it make to leave a warm abode with all its security for the world outside where nobody knows what might happen in the next moment?

His due date was August 15.

August 15 came and went. By now, Susan

The Record • Week of Wednesday, September 5, 2012

was—how do I put it. Susan was somewhat peeved at her recalcitrant infant who was already in position.

She contacted her doctor for an exam. All he could do was shrug and report the obvious.

Noah was playing hard to get. Give him another day. If he hadn’t stuck his head out by then, they’d take steps to help the stubborn little squirt make up his mind.

So Tuesday the 21st,at 6:30 a.m., they gave the feller a nudge.

I couldn’t help imagining little Noah there, upside down, his tiny arms stuck out in a last ditch effort to hold back the inevitable. I even imagined him shouting “No, no. I don’t want to go out there.”

But he did, and he is, and we’re all tickled pink that he’s out here with his family, both families.

Mike’s mother and grandmother live in Beaumont. Wonderful folks. Judy, Mike’s mom, took care of Mikey while Susan and Mike were at the hospital. Noah and his big brother, Mikey, and their sister, Hannah, are lucky. On their Daddy’s side, they have a great grandmother, Marie, a remarkable woman herself who served in the U.S. Navy Waves in World War II. And they have us on the other side.

Noah got a break, a special break. Unlike so many million other babies, he was born in the U.S.A., where, despite all our problems, we still live in the greatest country in the world.

Unfortunately, you’ll be one of those helping straighten this out in the years to come. But that all comes later. You just sleep and eat and grow. You’re in good hands.”

Deaths and Memorials H. Dale Thompson Sr. Orange Hammon Dale Thompson, Sr., 84, died on Aug. 31, 2012, at Baptist Hospital in Beaumont, after a short illness. All of his children and remaining brother were at his side when he passed. Dale will be remembered by his many friends, which was anyone he ever met.

Services are scheduled at Claybar Funeral Home in Orange at 10 a.m. on Wednesday morning, Sept. 5. Officiating will be Dr. Bob Webb of Trinity Baptist Church in Orange. Burial will follow at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens in Orange with Military Honors.

Dale was born in Idalou, Texas, on Aug. 27, 1928 to Hamman Watson Thompson and Ruby Isabelle Isom. Dale moved to Orange with his family in 1942. He graduated from Lutcher Stark High School in 1946.

After school, he worked at American Bridge as a Boilermaker and still holds his card.

When E.I. duPont opened at Sabine River Works, Dale began as a process operator and worked there approximately 33 years.

After a short while at DuPont, he was drafted by the Marine Corps and served two-years active duty in the Korean Conflict and four-years in the reserves.

He always said there were no exMarines, only former ones.

He married Jacqueline “Jackie” Stephens in 1950 and had two boys: Hammon Dale Jr. and Stephen Wayne and one “Precious Darling” Cynthia Ann (Cyndi).

Dale was very active in both the Cub and Boy Scouts and took pride in every child he mentored. Several Eagle Scouts were awarded under his leadership, including many prominent local leaders.

Dale was a Little League coach and board member, member of the American Legion and a former member of the First Baptist Church. Dale was a charter member of the Trinity Baptist Church. Later in his life, Dale went into the car business, which was one of his many passions.

Dale is preceded in death by his parents, wife, brother Jack and his brother-in-law Robert Frensley.

Dale is survived by his two sons, Hammon Dale and wife Glenda, Stephen Wayne and wife Cynthia and his daughter Cyndi and husband Jack Tindel Jr. Also surviving are his brother Fred Thompson and wife Darleen, sister-in-law Darlene Thompson and sister-in-law Gerry Frensley; five grandchildren, Wesley Dale, Lacy, Kimberly, Taylor, Jack III, and many nieces and nephews.

Serving as Pallbearers will be Jack Tindel III, Taylor Thompson, Wesley Dale Thompson, Ricky Dale Thompson, Tommy Lee Thompson, Bennie Bates, Kelley Winsor and Shannon Scott.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Trinity Baptist Church at P.O. Box 67, Orange, Tx. 77631.

A gathering of family and friends will be from 5 to 9 pm.

Wednesday at the funeral home.

Born on Sept. 19, 1938 in Ottawa, Ill. to his parents, William Howard Newton and Dora Avo (Conley) Newton, he had lived in the Orange area since 1976 and he retired in 1993 as a process operator from the Gulf Oil Re-

finery from the Cumene Unit in Port Arthur. Mr. Newton spent 20 years serving in the United States Navy where he served aboard the U. S. S. Sarsfield.

Mr. Newton was very patriotic, he maintained a newsletter among the men he served on the ship with, he enjoyed listening to conservative talk radio, going fishing, woodworking, he enjoyed eating Blue Bell Ice Cream, he kept in touch with the outside world by way of his computer and he enjoyed listening to the Cajun Jamboree every Sunday morning on KLVI in Beaumont.

He was also helpful and assisted in the planning on the project with the U. S. S. Orleck.

Decorating ideas to transform your home for Fall

(StatePoint) Now is the time to plan and decorate your home for fall. This autumn, consider trying your hand at do-it-yourself home projects that add seasonal warmth and color to the home -- while creating fun for your whole family.

“A great way to add excitement to seasonal décor for fall is with timely crafting projects with a theme or consistent color scheme,” said Nicole Long, manager of inspiration at Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores. “This year, accenting traditional autumn colors like orange and brown with teals and purples can visually transform your home and will also liven up any seasonal party.”

If you’re having trouble getting inspired, here’s an ideal project for teens and adults from the experts at Jo-Ann: Paisley Floor Pillows (Approximate crafting time: 2 1/2 hours) Supplies and Tools (for one pillow):

• 2 yards corduroy • 1/2 yard corduroy in contrasting color • 9”x12” felt squares, two each in coordinating colors • One package glitter buttons • Approx. 1 3/4 lbs. polyester fiberfill • Sewing machine • Basic sewing supplies • White glue Directions: (Note: 1/2” seam allowance throughout) 1. Cut one strip main color corduroy 6”x72”.

2. Cut two large paisley shapes of same corduroy.

3. Cut one small paisley shape of contrasting corduroy.

4. Glue or sew small paisley on one main color paisley for top.

5. Embellish top with felt shapes of choice and buttons.

Sew or glue in place.

6. Sew the 6” edge of the long strip to make a large circle, leaving 1/2” open at top and bottom.

7. Place seam of strip at the

point of the paisley top and sew all around.

8. Repeat with bottom, leaving a 6” opening for turning.

9. Turn and stuff.

10. Slip stitch opening closed.

And there’s no better way to celebrate a new season than with a party that not only brings friends together, but inspires with something beautiful that you and your family created to decorate your home.

In addition to seasonal thematic decorations, now’s the time to also break out some fall fare, like corn bread, pumpkin pie and apple cider, and play music at home that evokes autumn. Timely project ideas, such as embroidered cup sleeves and a paisley peacock cake, are available online at www.joann.com/holidaysautumn.

Letting your home’s décor change with the seasons doesn’t need to stress you out.

Make it fun by doing it yourself!

Bacon-and-Egg Muffins

For The Record

Here it is back to school once again. My, how the summer has seemed to just fly by for me this year. Do you have children you need to cook for in the morning? Well this week I have the pleasure of babysitting my don’s children while he and his wife go off on an exciting trip together.

So today I will be giving you this recipe that you can bake ahead of time and serve up these wonderful bacon and egg muffins for the kids to eat before they head off to school or maybe you have to rush off to work. These savory cornmeal muffins have scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and bacon strips baked right into them. To ensure tender muffins, no worry about getting all the lumps out! Stir only till combined, but not completely smooth. Happy eating!

4 slices bacon, cut in thirds 5 eggs 1 cup all-purpose flour ½ cup yellow cornmeal 2 Tbsp. sugar 2½ tsp. baking powder 1 cup milk ¼ cup of vegetable oil or butter, melted ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese Maple or cane syrup (optional) 1. Preheat oven to 400 degree oven. In large skillet cook

bacon just until it begins to crisp. Drain and reserve drippings. Return 2 tsp. drippings to skillet. For scrambled eggs.

In small bowl beat three of the eggs, two tablespoons of water, and a dash each of salt and pepper. Cook eggs in hot skillet over medium heat without stirring until eggs begin to set on bottom and around edges. With a spatula, lift and fold for uncooked portion to flow underneath.

Cook until set but still moist.

Transfer to bowl, set aside.

2. Brush twelve 2 ½ -inch muffin cups with some remaining bacon drippings. In medium bowl stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and ½ tsp. salt. Combine milk, oil, and remaining

two eggs in bowl. Stir into flour mixture. Fold in scrambled eggs and cheese. Spoon into muffin cups. (cups will be full).

3. Place one bacon piece on each muffin. Bake 15 to 17 minutes or until light brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool slightly in pan on rack. Run a table knife around edges of muffins to loosen; remove from pans. Serve with syrup if desired.

Makes 12 servings.

Dip a pastry brush in the drippings and brush on the bottom and sides of each cup.

Your Game” by taking simple steps to promote optimal functioning: • Get moving: Americans are more sedentary today than in the past. Lack of exercise can atrophy muscles and contribute to obesity, arthritis and other problems. You don’t have to train like an Olympian, just aim for a minimum of 20 to 30 minutes of exercise three to four days a week.

• Stretch daily: Improving flexibility is crucial to avoiding injury. Make a habit of stretching your major muscle groups each morning.

• Don’t work through pain: The earlier an injury is treated, the sooner healing can begin. Masking injuries with

painkillers to get back into action before you’re healed could worsen your original injury and lead to a chronic condition. Treat the cause of pain, not the symptom. Chiropractic physicians can treat many injuries and enable healing to occur—without drugs or surgery.

• Outfit your feet: Think function when shopping for shoes used for exercise and walking long distances. The wrong shoes or worn-out shoes can cause pain throughout the body. A doctor of chiropractic can help you determine your arch type, match it to your gait and advise you on the best footwear.

• Eat right: Even a few simple changes in diet can have a positive impact on your health. Limit red meat and excessive quantities of sugar and salt. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, nuts and whole grains.

Consider consulting a health care professional to determine what supplements are right for you.

• Recharge: If you feel fatigued often, get more sleep.

Instead of revitalizing with soft drinks or coffee, try a glass of pomegranate juice and a brisk walk. Have your B12 and iron levels checked at least once a year for deficiencies.

Lean meats, nuts, legumes and green leafy vegetables can help put some pep in your step.

• Get the right stuff: From baby slings to telephones, small consumer choices can have a big impact on your well-being. Shop for products designed with the comfort of your neck and back in mind.

If your job is causing you pain, talk to your employer about replacing your equipment with ergonomic models.

There’s no need to live on life’s sidelines. With a few key changes, you can feel and perform your best.

Simple changes can boost your health (StatePoint) Feeling a little off? Regardless of your age or fitness level, there are steps you can take every day to feel and perform your best.

“Many Americans ignore their pain and fatigue,” says Dr. Keith Overland, president of the American Chiropractic Association (ACA). “But just like world-class athletes who constantly search for ways to optimize their game, we can do better. Start with simple changes that promote greater health and wellness. You’ll feel better now and avoid bigger problems down the line.”

Bridge City hosts Vidor Friday CHRIS MENARD SPORTS COLUMNIST FOR THE RECORD

We’re already in week two, and Coach Cris Stump has a problem on his hands this Friday. After starting off the season with a loss last week (35-12) when his team faced the Newton Eagles, At 7 p..m. on Sep-

tember 7 the Bridge City Cardinals will host Vidor. If you got a chance to see the what the Pirates did to Santa Fe, you know Coach Stump has plenty of reasons to be concerned.

Last Friday, the Pirates tore the Santa Fe Indians apart. The offense dominated on the ground, rushing for 381 yards collectively. Justin

Moore lead the way running, accounting for 142 yards in ten attempts by himself. The Pirates had three other running backs with 50+ yards, and you can bet Coach Jeff Matthews plans on bringing more of that pain when they come to town.

Taking home the Rotary Club’s Orange Bowl trophy this past Friday night, the Mustangs shut out the LC-M Bears, 18-0, and retained the coveted trophy for the seventh time.

Although the two teams haven’t faced each other in a game since,

2009, it was a typical match-up with both teams fighting tooth and nail for the win.

“We played hard four quarters,” head coach Cornel Thompson said.

“We stayed after them on defense and Coach (Ed) Dyer executed his offensive plan well. We had some missed tackles on defense and some missed opportunities on offense which are part of a typical first

game.”

The Chain Gang defense, who could’ve been named the Love Bugs on Friday night, because they were everywhere, held LC-M to seven first downs and only 121 yards of total offense. They also shut down Bear running back Alex Sezar, only allowing him 37 yards on 15 carries.

Kaz’s Fearless Football Forecast Upcoming Games This Week WEST ORANGE-STARK over PORT NECHES-GROVES The Mustangs’ vaunted Chain-Gang defense pitched a zero in their season’s lid-lifter against another District 20-4A member last week. The Indians have plenty of returning players from last year’s successful team, but so does the ‘Stangs. Despite the fact the game will be at the Indians’ Reservation, the Mustangs historically always find a way to beat PNG.

SILSBEE over LITTLE CYPRESS-MAURICEVILLE The Battlin’ Bears must find some offensive punch if they expect to compete against some of the area’s more successful high school football teams. Besides, the Tigers are riled up about losing a heart-breaking one-point decision to PNG last week and will make the Bears pay.

VIDOR over BRIDGE CITY The Cards had a very difficult time against a powerful Class 2A team last week at Newton and things should be twice as tough hosting another team picked to reach the state playoffs, this time in Class 4A. The Pirates already look in mid-season form and will be difficult to contend with.

JASPER over ORANGEFIELD This will be another road game against a team expected to reach the state playoffs in a couple of months. However, playing these tough teams before the district schedule begins will be very beneficial to the Bobcats a few weeks from now. And there’s no guarantee the Bulldogs aren’t susceptible to Ol’ Man Upset.

DEWEYVILLE over EVADALE The Pirates are coming off a big win against a team they should have won big against. But these Rebels will present a much more formidable opponent who lost last week and is bound and determined to even their record at the expense of the Pirates.

ORANGE COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN over HOUSTON EMERY WEINER Don’t know much about the Lions’ opponent on Saturday night in Houston, but they should come through in a high-scoring game.

LAMAR over PRAIRIE VIEW A&M—The Cards didn’t do zilch in their first contest against a Division I team since bringing football back last year. But their offense that was stymied by the Ragin’ Cajuns should break loose this week in the Big Red’s home opener.

MCNEESE STATE over MCMURRY The Cowboys surprised many last week with their 27-21 victory over Division I Middle Tennessee State. The roll should continue big-time Saturday in their home opener at Cowboy Stadium in Lake Charles.

HIGH SCHOOL—Kirbyville over Buna, Anahuac over Hamshire-Fannett, Splendora over Hardin-Jefferson, Beaumont West Brook over Beaumont Central, Port Arthur Memorial over Beaumont Ozen, Barbers Hill over Lumberton, Nederland over Goose Creek Memorial, Beaumont Legacy over The Village, Tarkington over Hardin, Kountze over Hull-Daisetta, Newton over Liberty, Shepherd over Woodville, West Hardin over Sabine Pass, High Island over Alvin Christian, Humble over Channelview, La Porte over South Houston, Pearland over Kempner, Crosby over Willis, Dayton over Livingston, Cleveland over Madisonville, Coldspring over Navasota, Huffman over Houston Worthing, La Marque over Texas City.

WOS Mustangs take Orange Bowl The Mustangs started the scoring off on their first offensive possession when senior Quentin Tezeno took LC-M’s first punt 35 yards for excellent field position. Three plays later, running back Ar’Tevin McDonald took the handoff and sprinted 25 yards up the middle to put six points on the board. Kicker Rodickson Cano hit his first PAT of the season to put the Mustangs on top, 7-0.

The next punt return, who went to J’Marcus Rhodes was returned 20 yards to set up the next touchdown. Quarterback Jimmy Salter hit tailback John Scott from 17 yards out to put six more on the board. After the PAT sailed wide left, the Mustangs were still up 13-0 to end the first quarter.

WO-S upped the score to 16-0 in the second quarter when Cano hit a 23-yard field goal. The last score came in the fourth quarter after the LC-M defense held the Mustangs on fourth down and the ball went over the Bears inches from the goal. On third down, WO-S defensive end Colin Janice flew untouched to Bear quarterback Caleb Harley, knocking him down in the endzone for two points. Although the Mustangs never hit paydirt again, the 18-0 score was enough to retain the Orange Bowl trophy and the bragging rights for another year.

The Mustangs will head into hostile territory this Friday night when they will take on the Port Neches-Groves Indians at the Reservation at 7:30 p.m.

“These kids have never been in this situation before,” Thompson said. “It is hard to win at Port Neches and we will do everything that we can to prepare them for the atmosphere that they have never experienced before.”

The Port Neches-Groves Indians are coming off of a 21-20 win over the Silsbee Tigers.

After being up 21-6, the Indians were forced to depend on their defense in the last 38 seconds of the game after Silsbee pulled to within one point and went for the two-point conversion. The Indians defense tightened up and knocked down the pass to the corner to insure the win.

“The Indians will play hard for 48 minutes. You can guarantee that,” Thompson said.

“It’s a tough place to get a victory but I know we are capable. They just have long time traditions, winning the state championships in the 70’s and playing in the play-offs many times. Many of the players’ fathers and grandfathers played for PN-G and they will play hard.”

NFL season begins for real today KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

Now that all 32 National Football League teams made their final cuts to 53 players on each roster, the regular season is about to begin tonight (Wed.) with our Dallas Cowboys meeting the World Champion New York Giants on national TV at The Meadowlands.

Jerry Jones has not been nearly as vocal this summer about his team being a prime candidate for making it all the way to the Super Bowl like in previous years, but there certainly is a lot of that kind of optimism coming from the Bayou City about the success the Houston Texans are expected to enjoy this season.

However, the key to the Texans’ success this season is the avoidance of injuries to key personnel which somewhat hampered them in the latter part of last season.

Quarterback Matt Schaub and his backup Matt Leinart both went down with seasonending injuries forcing Head Coach Gary Kubiak to depend on untested rookie T. J. Yates to carry the load, which he did.

All-Pro wide receiver Andre Johnson missed more games than he played because of a couple of aggravating injuries.

And Super Mario Williams tore a pectoral muscle early in the season and spent the remainder of the schedule on injured reserve.

However, rookie J.J. Watt filled in so adequately for him, the Texans weren’t that upset when Williams opted to sign with Buffalo and didn’t even try to match the ton of money the Bills offered him.

On paper, before the grueling 16-game season begins, the Houston Texans look like a very solid franchise, deep with talent at every position. The Texans had to waive a passel of good talent just to get down to the league-required 53-man final roster.

Schaub is healthy and solid at quarterback as he enters his contract year in his sixth season. He knows Kubiak’s offensive system inside and out but must stay healthy for the Texans to be a bona fide Super Bowl contender.

Ru n n i n g back Arian Foster may be the best a l l-a rou nd back in the league for which the Texans rewarded him with a new contract. Foster and his back-up Ben Tate could very well be the best one-two punch in the NFL. The third back is newcomer Justin Forsett, who set a franchise record for the most rushing yards in a preseason game.

And these backs wouldn’t be nearly as effective if it wasn’t for the tremendous blocking of the offensive line, which seems to get better each season. The Texans led the NFL last season in time of possession—on average, more than 32 minutes-thanks to the great blocking of this offensive line.

The defense of first-year coordinator Wade Phillips was one of the best in the league and promises to be even stronger this season. However, the caliber of competition promises to be stronger also in 2012.

And when it comes to strong competition, the Dallas Cowboys will have all they can handle tonight (Wed.) in the opening game of the 2012 season. The World Champion New York Giants will feature their tenacious defense that recorded 48 sacks and carried them through the 2011 playoffs and into the Super Bowl.

The Cowboys’ inexperienced offensive line will have their hands full trying to block the Giants’ defensive stalwarts. The big problem is that Dallas’ five starters up front have yet to play a game together because of injuries and have had only limited practice time in which to gain the chemistry necessary for most NFL offensive lines.

Another big question mark is the availability of All-Pro tight end Jason Witten, who has been sidelined during most of the exhibition season with a lacerated spleen. He was scheduled to have a CT scan Tuesday to determine his availability for the Giants’ game.

Today’s opening game also will feature the use of the “fill-in” game officials, who have worked the entire exhibi-

tion season because the NFL locked out the referee’s union.

Many of these will be going from supervising small college games to policing football’s best athletes in front of raucous crowds of 75,000 or more.

Perhaps this first week of replacement game officials will stimulate both the NFL and the referee’s union to agree to a new collective bargaining agreement. That’s what happened in 2001 when the league used replacements for the first week of the regular season before a new contract was finalized.

Otherwise 2012 could be a long, hard season for everyone concerned.

K W ICK IES…A lt houg h two prominent quarterbacks from the Lone Star State were waived by their NFL teams during Friday’s final roster cut-down—University of Houston’s Case Keenum by the Houston Texans and former Texas Aggie Stephen McGee, who was the Dallas Cowboys’ No. 3 quarterback— Texas A&M’s Ryan Tannehill will be the starting quarterback for the Miami Dolphins when they visit the Houston Texans Sunday at noon in Reliant Stadium. However, the Texans are a solid 10 ½-point favorite over the Dolphins.

Like we mentioned in last week’s Korner about the overabundance of David-against – Goliath college football games, one school that played tough against a Division I school was my alma mater McNeese State which upset Middle Tennessee State 27-21 on the road. Unfortunately, the Lamar Cardinals didn’t have any luck against Division I foe Louisiana-Lafayette as the Ragin’ Cajuns rolled up 40 first-half points and then backed off as the big Red failed to score a point.

Things will get much better for Lamar against schools their own size.

The University of Houston Cougars suffered one of their most humiliating losses in school history when former Southland Conference member Texas State marched into Robertson Stadium Saturday and walloped the Coogs 3013 before some 32,000 partisan fans who expected U of H to be on the other end of that lop-sided score.

COLBURN-FISHING DICKIE COLBURN FOR THE RECORD

Hats off to chapter President, Scott Bandy, and every chapter member and volunteer that had anything to do with making last Thursday night’s banquet another huge success. The Orange County CCA banquet was once again sold out months in advance and next year’s planning committee is probably already searching for an even larger building!

The steak dinner was phenomenal, the atmosphere was enjoyably laid back for a fund raiser event like this and it was obvious that Orange County businesses recognized the benefits of joining hands with the growing number of conservation minded anglers.

Bandy and a small group of concerned saltwater fishermen that believed that Orange County deserved and would support their own chapter took on the challenge of making it happen against all odds several years back. They continued to support the larger neighboring chapter events and pitched in on everything from flounder round-ups to crap trap clean-ups while continuing to promote their own vision of a vibrant chapter for Orange County fishermen.

While manning a registration table at a fishing event earlier this year Bandy remarked, “It has been a slow steady pro-

more over nine pounds from Game Wardens patrolling the wall each day.

Most of those fish were taken by bank fishermen fishing live shrimp under a popping cork.Had they joined CCA and signed up for S.T.A.R. they wouldn’t be fishing from the bank next year!

cess and I have worked a small group of dedicated folks with the same vision to death, but it has been rewarding. As more and more fishermen realize that the CCA is their only voice in protecting and promoting their resource and that we are here to stay, it has gotten a little easier to grow the chapter.”

Each year more area fishermen that were members of other chapters simply because Orange had no chapter have transferred their membership, but its new members that grow the organization and that number continues to increase as well.

Bandy also points out that we are blessed as Orange County fishermen to have the resources we have not to mention the location.“When tournament fishermen are running all the way from

Galveston and Lake Charles to fish Sabine you know you have something special!”

If the annual banquets are indeed the measuring stick of how well a chapter has done each year Bandy and his hard working group are going to have to purchase an even longer stick. The best way to thank the Orange Chapter for staying the course and putting Orange on the fishing map is to join the chapter before you spend another dime on fishing.

You can’t buy a piece of tackle that will be a better investment in the future of fishing for your kids and grand kids!

The major event of the year for CCA members is the summer long S.T.A.R. tournament which ended this weekend.

HOUSTON -- At a time when people in big cities are becoming increasingly disconnected from the world of nature and the outdoors, the 4th annual Take Me Outdoors Houston is set for Sept. 15 at Discovery Green.

The free, family-oriented outdoors festival will feature hands-on activities, booths and opportunities for people to experience the great outdoors even if they haven’t had much exposure to Texas beyond the city limit signs.

“By introducing Texans, especially urban adults and kids, to outdoor recreation, our woods and waters and natural places become more relevant and important to them,” said Heidi Rao, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department hunter education specialist. “We believe recreation leads to conservation. Folks out there enjoying the natural world come to care about it and finally to care for it.”

Take Me Outdoors Houston will run from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15 at Discovery Green, a 12-acre park created by a public/private partnership between the City of Houston and the non-profit Discovery Green Conservancy. The park’s mission is to provide a beautiful, urban green space in the heart of Houston that serves as a village green for the city. It is located across Avenida de las Americas from the George R. Brown Convention Center and the Hilton Americas Hotel, sitting between the Toyota Center and Minute Maid Park. Since the park opened in April 2008, it has welcomed more than 1 million visitors and hosted more

Folks throw that six pound number around a lot, but I see lots of flounder each year and it is not unusual to not see a single flounder that size.

I haven’t gone anywhere in the Golden Triangle this past week that someone hasn’t asked about the Bassmaster Elite Series coming to Orange in March. I have also been a little surprised by the number of calls that I have already received concerning everything from accommodations to navigating everywhere from Taylor’s bayou to the Neches.

Hunting season checklist 2012 rable is something that all gun owners can appreciate. If you have a weapon in need of some work or just want to protect your firearm investment take a look at the Cerakote finishes.

Pistols, Rifles, and any other weapon including knives can all be done in a variety of colors or patterns and the process is not expensive. If your looking to get a few more years out of your weapon check out Cerakote, it’s mighty impressive.

COLBURN-FISHING DICKIE COLBURN FOR THE RECORD

While staring at the calendar recently and continuing my countdown to day one of the 2012-2013 hunting season I started making out my list of things to do before the opening day arrives. Like many hunters so often do there are a few things that always get pushed to the back burner with the thought of “I’ll get that done tomorrow” when in all reality we really know that means “I’ll do it at the last minute”. Several items that always show up on the list include sighting in a bow or rifle, tuning up an ATV, rigging up new decoys and always checking waders for leaks. Nothing welcomes you to the morning in a duck blind like leaking waders.

This year I had another chore to take of and that was having a shotgun refinished for my son Hunter. After 5 tough years of hunting ducks in primarily a saltwater environment his Benelli was showing some serious wear as many guns are prone to do, especially those with a blued finish.

It almost inevitable that rust or pitting will occur no mat-

ter how religious you are when cleaning or caring for your weapon, it’s just a fact of life.

Now there are several alternatives to refinishing your gun including a variety of coatings or camo dipping processes. After doing some research and asking plenty of questions I settled on having the gun coated with Cerakote. Cerakote is the most durable finish on the market and is the choice of numerous gun manufacturers all over the world. I was sold after seeing a few guns that had been coated using the process and then reading the tests that had been performed by several labs. The most intense test of the bunch was an abrasion test that basically rubbed the surface until it the coating wore through and the metal that had been coated became exposed. Finishes like Duracoat, Parkerizing, and GunKote were able to sustain approximately 700 cycles from the Taber wheel. The Cerakote finish made it through 6000 cycles, nearly 10 times more than the others. Tough to argue with the results.

BC Cardinals host Vidor

address a few defensive issues through the week as the Eagles managed to exploit the Cards’ on the ground to the tune of 243 yards on 42 attempts. Coach Stump’s squad allowed 15 first downs through the span of the game and Newton never really had to go away from their run game.

“There’s a reason they’re ranked #2,” he said. “They’ve got a lot of talent, but we made some mistakes, we played hard and now we’re moving onto Vidor.”

When asked about adjustments on defense, to counter the coming Pirate running attack, Coach Stump simply stated “It’s a concern, but we’ve got good players and good coaching. We’ll be ready, and we’ll come out and play hard.”

There were some bright spots for the Cardinals on offense last week. Quarterback Daniel Faulk went 6/11 for 73 yards and also threw his first touchdown as a starter. While those aren’t eyepopping numbers, he completed about half of his passes and managed to avoid throwing a pick the entire game. Look for the young QB’s decision making to improve as he matures in the offense and learns to manage the game the way Coach Stump expects.

There was another surprise on the offensive side, as most of the carries went to junior running back Kruz Dearbonne, and he did not disappoint. The emerging young talent powered his way to 123 yards on 16 attempts. Though Dearbonne didn’t find the end zone against Newton, this is still what you want to see. Look for him to continue rushing the football and eventually rack up some TD’s as his carries pick up through the season.

In the end, the Cardinal D’ managed to recover a fumble and score, but it wasn’t enough as the Eagles closed the contest out 35-12 after missing two extra point attempts. The Cardinals are going to have amnesia leading into kick-off Friday. The Pirates are definitely going to pound the rock and the Cards’ D’ is definitely going to have to step up if they want to stop Vidor’s potent rushing attack.

Everybody Reads ‘The Record’

After deciding on using the Cerakote finish the next order of business was finding a shop to apply the coating. The biggest problem with having a process like this done is often the weapon has to be shipped off and that can be a pain since it involves using shippers with Federal Firearms Licenses.

Fortunately I found Landers Weapon Solutions in Lumberton who specializes in not only applying Cerakote finishes but in other various coatings and specialty gun work. The burden of shipping and insuring the shotgun was now out of the equation. Garrett Landers who owns and operates LWS showed me several guns that he had just finished coating and they were top notch. The prize of the bunch was an older model Remington 870 that had been coated with a silver or gray Cerakote finish while the wood stock and forend had been stripped down and refinished to show room condition.

The gun was flawless and a definite eye catcher.

The Cerakote finish is no doubt the best way to rejuvenate an older gun or to just protect a new gun with some extra added insurance. Taking rust out of the equation and making a firearm more du-
