DuPont plans $100 million expansion David Ball

For The Record

There was good news to go around after an announcement made by the DuPont Corporation last week.

DuPont Sabine River Works in Orange will be part of a $100 million expansion project to increase packaging and industrial polymers capacity.

As a leading supplier of highperformance materials to the packaging, automotive, industrial and consumer industries, DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers announced on Sept.

16 its intent to continue to increase production capacity of its ethylene copolymers assets at its Texas manufacturing facilities to meet growing market demand, according to a press release.

Plans include a series of investments totaling more than

$100 million to be completed over the next 3 to 4 years. More than one-third of the investment is expected to be installed by the end of 2015. The balance of the investment is expected to be completed over the following 3 years.

“DuPont’s increase in ethylene copolymers capacity at its Texas manufacturing facilities illustrates our commitment to the business and to the community,” said Bobby Laughlin, global manufacturing director for DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers. “Investing in manufacturing here also helps provide long-term stability to the community. The main reasons for expansion at this time are we want to increase production of our specialty polymers which are high value and highly differentiated, and we are supporting our customers’ growth in their markets. This

expansion is good for DuPont, and will further drive economic growth for the Orange community.”

OC-EDC disperses HOT funds to local non-profits David Ball

For The Record

Everyone seemed to come away satisfied at the Sept. 18 Hotel/Motel Occupancy Tax Committee public hearing though there was limited funding for this year.

Bobby Fillyaw, committee chairman and Orange County Economic Development Corporation director, said there was a limited amount of funding and the committee would disperse funds as well as they possibly could for Orange County. All organization representatives were appreciative and supportive of the committee.

First to speak was Jerry Pennington for the Orange County Historical Commission. He said his organization has completed applications for four historical markers for next year. There is a $100 fee with the State of Texas for each marker. The cost of a marker is $1,500 for a total of $1,600.

J. David Derosier represents the Friends of the Orange Depot.

When completed, the depot will serve as the anchor for downtown development in Orange. Derosier said it will take the Friends a couple of years to get where they want to and they will hold more public events, such as Christmas lights on the depot in time for the parade, to raise visibility.

The depot will consist of a museum of industry in Orange, a gift shop and a meeting space when completed.

Roy Dunn, committee member, said the depot is one of the better projects to come along in years.

“I’ve FILLYAW been waiting 50 years for someone to do something with that. I grew up with steam engines,” he said.

Fillyaw said the Friends may have other options available to them in the future.

Chris McCloud with the Lutcher Theater said her organization rents 300 motel rooms a year; 800 were rented last year for the Grinch Who Stole Christmas.

Some in the production company stayed for two weeks in Orange and the theater expects to get them back for the 2015-2016 season. McCloud explained the Stark Foundation doesn’t pay for the entertainment which comes to the theater and funding has been cut this year by the city of Orange.

Keith Wallace, committee member, said the Lutcher Theater is the “poster child” for the way HOT money is to be spent by putting heads in beds.

McCloud said they break even on shows and grants play a big part.

DuPont plans to increase production capacity at its Texas manufacturing facilities, which produces high-performance materials, such as DuPont™ Elvaloy® ethylene copolymer resins. These resins were used in the new DuPont facilities at Chestnut Run plaza at Wilmington, Del. in April 2012.

DuPont Sabine River Works site in Orange, Texas The DuPont Sabine River Works site in Orange, Texas, began operation in 1946. The plant employs approximately 900 people and produces ethylene copolymers for packaging and industrial applications.

Products from Sabine River Works can be found in many everyday items, from medical equipment to food packaging to building and construction materials.

“Market demand for these products is growing. Our differentiated and high-value products are being used in a diverse range of growth markets.

So You Want to Go to College? (Part One) Scarecrow Festival Caroline Brewton Feature Columnist For The Record

Fall.

Picture pumpkins on porches, spiced lattes, cozy wrap sweaters and... pages and pages of biographical information?

The months when Pumpkin-FlavoredAnything reigns supreme also signal the start of a terrifying process for high school seniors across the country: college application time.

Four years ago, I was doing just that.

And if you don’t have a close older sibling or cousin who has gone through the process, it can get pretty confusing, even with the help of counselors and teachers.

Fast forward, and I’m helping a friend’s son with his applications. Much like when I was applying, it feels like you need a stellar GPA, a leadership position in several extracurriculars, a part-time job, a published book, and the blood of a virgin just to get in to a good school. Never mind paying for it. Add to that impressive entrance essays and other wacky requirements (the application for New York University had me write a limerick about myself), the process is daunting.

But don’t be afraid, potential co-eds.

Despite the barrage of confusing information (and necessity of slaughtering small animals for your blood offering,) there are several bright spots to consider.

One great way to get colleges to notice you is through extracurricular involvement. There are the traditional routes: student council, sports, clubs, etc. But students across the country are also do-

ing these exact same things.

A friend of my father’s was an admissions person for an Ivy League school, and when I was applying, I asked him what I should do outside of keeping up my GPA to get a Caroline Brewton school like his to notice me. His advice? Write a book.

But what he was really saying was, “Do something impressive and unique to distinguish yourself from your peers.” I took him at his word and plugged away unsuccessfully at book-writing (my writing was nowhere near mature enough to make a long-format work viable at the time).

But I was experimenting with journalism, and had skills in graphic design and short-form articles. With a few instructional Youtube videos and an appropriate publishing platform, I could have started my own web magazine.

Don’t discount non-traditional venues for leadership and extracurricular involvement. They’ll make you stand out, and believe me, you want to stand out.

Learn how to do something different and cool that you’re passionate about, and play that up on your C.V. and in your alumni interview, if you have one.

Now let’s talk about standardized tests.

The importance of your SAT/ACT score varies from college to college. This is important because you may or may not have a great one. Some really good students do

well with standardized tests, but others don’t. Some have test anxiety. Never fear.

FairTest.org has a list of colleges that don’t admit based on test scores and use other criteria, including GPA. If you’re a good student, but worry your scores might keep you from admittance, this route might be for you.

But there is a catch: scholarships. If you are looking for a merit scholarships (which are based on academic performance) in order to avoid taking out the massive student loans we keep hearing about in the news, your test scores may still matter. If your ability to attend depends on your ability to secure scholarships, you might still need an impressive score to start the cash flow. This leads me to my next point...

Admission isn’t the only factor in your college decision. With student debt at the forefront of our national discussion of higher education, affording your school of choice must also come into play in any informed college choice. I didn’t realize until midway through my applications that I couldn’t afford most of my dream schools without significant financial assistance. So when I squealed at my acceptance to NYU, it took a sobering reminder from my dad to bring me down from the clouds: ‘That’s awesome and I’m proud of you, but how are you going to pay for it?” Always, always count the cost before you set your heart on a school. If you can’t afford it, it might not matter if you get in.

Now, take a deep breath, go outside, and look at the pumpkins. Repeat after me: you will get through this.

OC sets budget and tax rate for FY 2014-2015 David Ball

For The Record

The Orange County Commissioners’ Court adopted a tax rate of $.54400 per $100 valuation. This is the same rate as last year’s. The effective tax rate is $.52878 per $100. The rollback tax rate is $.57928 per $100. The proposed budget is $46 million.

County Judge Carl Thibodeaux, Precinct 1 Commissioner David Dubose and Precinct 2 Commissioner Owen Burton approved the budget. Precinct 3 Commis-

sioner John Banken and Precinct 4 Commissioner Jody Crump did not approve. Crump said all departments have done really well staying within their budgets even though there’s been big changes.

Commissioners approved an increase in fees for the civil process.

Sheriff Keith Merritt said there hasn’t been an increase in the fees the past four to five years. The court had three options to choose from: leave the fees the same as they are, a slight increase in fees, or increase the fees to match what

surrounding counties are charging.

The commissioners opted for the slight increase in fees.

Thibodeaux, Dubose and Burton voted aye, Banken and Crump voted nay.

The commissioners approved the Hotel Occupancy Tax Committee’s recommendations for expenditures for the current fiscal year.

The 2014 Emergency Management Performance Grant was approved.

Jeff Kelley, emergency management coordinator, said the

county will receive $31,000 this year though they were expecting to receive $40,000 and they were eligible for $60,0000. Last year the county received $28,000.

The 2015 Routine Airport Maintenance Program Grant was also approved.

The maximum amount is $50,000 and is a 50/50 matching grant.

Sabrina Gray, Expo Center director, reported a total income of $3,052 for the year. She expects an income of $4,631 for events this upcoming fiscal year.

Dupont plans expansion helps reduce food waste and offers consumer convenience, and materials to enable more efficient vehicles, new roads that stand up to tough environments, more durable roofing solutions, and higher-performing architectural glass solutions,” said William J. Harvey, president, DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers. “Our customers count on DuPont strengths in application devel-

opment and new product development to innovate their product offerings. We are pleased to add new capacity of our high-performance polymers to support growth for our customers.”

Likewise, the Orange City Council recently approved the Invista plant in Orange for nomination as a $250 million Texas Enterprise Zone project.

additional permanent positions will be added associated with this activity. However, we expect there will be some temporary jobs added as a result of construction. This expansion consists of multiple projects lasting through 2019. This investment will help the DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers business achieve its goal of generating $1 billion in operating earnings in 2019.

East Roundbunch swing bridge rehab From Page 1 The East Roundbunch Swing Bridge has general corrosion, floor beam cracks and bent web stiffeners among other problems.

In a prior Record article dated June 2012, Clark Slacum, Road and Bridge engineer, reported to the Orange County Commissioners’ Court the bridge was opened 63 times for the month of May for boats to pass through. Consequently, the commissioners then were looking for ways to either build a span across the bayou or rebuild the bridge.

County Judge Carl Thibodeaux said the county was seeking renovation grants from Ike Round 2.2 funding or a Texas Department of Transportation grant.

“It was damaged and it’s old.

It was built in the 1940s. We’re constantly repairing the electronics on it. When we had the storm the other day, some lightning knocked it out. We would like to replace it with a

span or repair it,” Thibodeaux said.

Several months ago, the commissioners gave approval on the Disaster Recovery Round 2.2 application budget consisting of $3,780,000 for the swing bridge on East Roundbunch in Bridge City, which was heavily damaged by Hurricane Ike; $829,805 for a county-wide planning study to include, but not limited to long term infrastructure development, economic development and overall strategic planning as it relates to county-wide growth and development; and $5,827,656 for road repairs left over from Hurricane Ike. The actual budget for the road repairs was $2.5 million, but was reduced to the S1.2 million to accommodate the available funding. They will finish what they can with the available funding.

The total for the round 2.2 application budget was

$5,827,656.

Then Precinct 3 Commissioner John Dubose said current estimates for the project were from $5 million to $8 million.

“A span there is needed dearly. We need it opened for emergency evacuations from Chemical Row. Commissioner Dubose has been working on this for years,” Thibodeaux said.

hance the museum. They need funding to redo flooring and windows damaged by Hurricane Ike and to preserve historical items.

The organization would also like mannequins for early 1900s teacherage clothing, purchasing a glass top for pictures and artifacts and a 1900s stove.

Fields said the museum would like a glass display cabinet for football star, Steve Worster’s jersey and some band uniforms.

Included on the list is to repair a light post damaged by Hurricane Ike, picture frames and brochures. “We’ve had a lot of visitors and students this year. Even from out of state,” Fields said.

Rusty Benoit with Gulf Coast Cajun Chapter CFMA, said they want to give back to the community. “The money raised is kept in Orange County,” Benoit said. “We put it on for $5,000 and we raise money for the scholarship.

We’re a 5013c (nonprofit organization).” He added people attend from out of town for motel rooms with all 12 CFMA chapters involved.

“We know how important last year’s money was utilized. No one did a better job than Rusty,” Fillyaw said.

Greg Knost with the Conn Park complex in Vidor, said they acquired 12 and a half acres from the city of Vidor with 55 more acres to develop for ball parks, the Barbecue Festival and laying a covered concrete slab for a pavilion.

“We want to make the community a better community,” Knost said.

Donna Scales with Southeast Texas Resource, Conservation and Development, said they cover 11 counties in Texas.

They will hold their annual conference at the Expo Cen-

ter in Orange at the same time of the BASS Elite Tournament in Orange next March.

“Save the date. We’ll try to get 11 county judges and state representatives there,” she said. “We’ll try to bring them to the (BASS) weigh-in.”

Scales said she has already blocked some room at the La Quinta in Bridge City.

“This is the main thing for the Expo Center to achieve events like this in Orange County,” Fillyaw said.

Elaine Hearn spoke on behalf of the Bridge City Historical Society’s Heritage Festival and 4th of July Celebration.

She said funding is needed for a sound stage, a band, food, fireworks, etc. for July 4th.

Hearn said there were 50 boats in Cow Bayou for this 4th celebration.

“It was a tremendous success,” she said. Kids activities are needed at the Heritage Festival. A block of rooms at the La Quinta have been preserved.

Dr. Stephen Patterson, superintendent of Orangefield ISD, spoke on the Orangefield Cormier Museum #1 and #2.

He said they have had 10,000 visitors since they first opened, some as far away as San Antonio and Louisiana including tour bus groups.

The museum also participated last year’s Christmas parade and festival and the 100th year anniversary of the first oil well drilled in Orangefield.

Plans are two connect the two separate building into one museum and replace the two aging air conditioners.

Fillyaw said there are artifacts in the museum that need cooling to be preserved such as the antique telephone switchboard that needs climate control.

Debbie Cole is with the Vidor Chamber of Commerce and the Barbecue Festival.

She called it the biggest party in Vidor with teams coming in as far away as from Mississippi, Louisiana and San Antonio.

“This is our 34th festival and we need all the help we can get,” she said.

Fillyaw concluded the public hearing by saying they went through all of the applications carefully.

Dunn said he wished in some cases they could had done more. “Maybe it will be better next year,” he said.

The applications were approved by the committee and turned in to the Orange County Commissioners’ Court at their meeting on Monday in which they were approved.

From the Creaux’s Nest LIONS CLUB 75TH CARNIVAL BEGINS I have nothing but praise for the Lions Club members who put on the annual carnival. It’s a lot of work just putting up the rides and booths. They work for weeks. Even though I’m sure there are well over 100 members, it seems to me that I see the same couple of dozen people doing the grunt work. Others join in when the big show opens and for a few days that’s the fun part but before the carnival closes those daily workers are tired and ready to put away the toys for another year. They do a great job for a couple of weeks entertaining the kids and their families.

A lot to do and they don’t rob the citizens with overpriced rides. More importantly, the Lions Club does great work in the community. They furnish not only glasses to the vision impaired, they also help them with surgery and other eyesight needs. Congrats to a great bunch of folks. Over the years I’ve seen many dedicated carnival workers who loved what they did go on to their other reward. Great community folks that gave themselves for a worthy project that now celebrates its 75th birthday. See you at the carnival. *****On another matter, it’s my opinion that landlords are hard working people who are not appreciated. To be a good landlord, not a slum lord, the work is constant. Tenants abuse the property; fail to pay the rent or to often take several weeks to pay and landlords are forced to pay high court cost just to get them evicted. Landlords are hit at every turn. People who own and rent property pay the highest tax and whenever a bond issue or tax increase comes up they take that blunt too. Because of that reason and a fee that was too high to start with at JP court, rising court and eviction fees by any amount is unreasonable. It seems they are trying to raise money on the backs of landlords who are already fighting a constant battle. I bet the commissioners who voted for that never owned any rental property or they wouldn’t have strapped an additional, outrageous fee on local landlords.

These good people are our local citizens. *****Well, I’d best be going. Come along, it won’t do you no harm.

WAR BEGINS WITH ISLAMIC MILITANTS IN SYRIA Late Monday in the United States and early Tuesday morning in Syria, the U.S. military began air strikes against Islamic militant organization. The U.S., along with partner nation forces took military action against ISIS terrorists in Syria, using bomber and Tomahawk attack missals. Planes dropping bombs and ships firing cruise missiles hit about 20 targets including headquarters of militants who have based their movement in Syria. About 30,000 ISIS fighters are based in that area and have captured large parts of Iraq. French war planes launched attacks on ISIS targets in Iraq for the first time. The goal of these Islamic fighters is to dominate the territory from Iraq to the Mediterranean. For the first time, countries in the region are lending their support towards the defeat of ISIS. Meanwhile, the militant group released a threat against the United States and its allies. They urged Muslins to take violent action against “Disbelievers.” A militant spokesman declared to supporters, “If you kill a disbelieving American or European, especially the spiteful and filthy French, or an Australian or a Canadian or any other disbeliever waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic state, kill him in any manner.” The U.S. said Monday it is stepping up assistance to Turkey to help with the refugee problem.

Over 130,000 Syrians fled over the weekend to join over one million who left Syria earlier. Secretary of State John Kerry, who put the coalition together said, “The United States expects Turkey to step up in fighting the militants.” The war has begun with ISIS; President Obama has been cautious and has put together a coalition that has even surprised the experts. This is the first installment on a new war. Only time will tell how long into the future it will last. According to most, the President has made the right moves. There are still those who want boots on the ground but I hope and pray the U.S. never has to use ground troops.

If you are one of the people with Rick Perry fatigue you won’t get any relief if Greg Abbott is elected governor. I watched the debate between he and Wendy Davis and he’s a Rick Perry clone. Maybe worse on some issues and school finance very well could be one of them. Today, Texas is spending $20 million a month on National Guard on the border, now Abbott says he will add 500 DPS officers. More millions that could go into school finance that they claim the state can’t afford. Abbott is defending the states position in court. *****Some folks we know celebrating their special day.

Unfortunately for Edwards he is not running in a Cajun district or he would lead the pack. Edwards says he served his time for being a crook but he never took from the taxpayers. He says others are cooks who mess with people’s money. When you look at the clowns we send to Washington who do nothing, (they have just left on a 54 day vacation after six weeks off just a month ago), Edwards would be a breath of fresh air. Maybe he’ll make the runoff.*****The Wednesday Lunch Bunch had a fun time last week at Robert’s, much to the expense of Judge Parkhurst who took it good naturally.

He walked for hours and got deeper in the tick forest.

“Tee Neg” knew night would soon be coming and “Tee Neg” him, was always so scared of da dark. He had often got sick from fright of being where he can’t see nuttin.

He walk some more until he nearly panic. Finally he dropped to his knees and raised boat his hands to da sky and axe da Lord to help him find his way.

About dat time, a big hawk bird flew over and relieved his self.

Da droppings landed in da middle of “Tee Neg’s” hand. Wit tears in his eyes he say, “Lord, don’t give me any of dat crap, I’m not kidding, I’m really lost and so scared, me.

C’EST TOUT Karen Gilman wrote in the “East Texas Catholic” about 88year- old “Buddy” Pousson, of Orange. He is an alter server at St. Mary. Most often boys start serving in elementary or middle school and usually stop by the time they graduate high school. Buddy didn’t become an alter server until his late 20’s and over 60 years later he is still serving at daily mass. “I don’t mind doing it,” Pousson said. “I get a little something from it,” he added with a twinkle in his eyes. He grew up in Nederland where he was a member of the state championship football team. He then spent three years in the Navy. What Karen wrote about that I had known but forgot about is that he had married Father Joe Berberich’’s niece, Rosel Theresa. In some way it appears that Father Joe might have helped that union happen.

Buddy and Rosel married June 1, 1963. They moved close to the church which makes it easy for them to walk the one block to attend services. Buddy will continue serving as long as he is able. He also is a watch out for the Communion wine for Father Daleo or from Father Daleo. My words not Karen’s. Now there is a pair of aces, Daleo and Buddy, doing the Lord’s work. *****A final thought. corporal punishment has been in the news lately because of the Adrian Peterson case. He’s accuses of over whipping his son. Well, I got some blistering whippings but I never doubted that my mother did love me. She would say, “This is going to hurt me more than you.” Sure. She also told me Caster Oil didn’t taste. Most of the mothers in my poor neighborhood, that raised a bunch of rough boys, would be in the penitentiary according to today’s corporal punishment laws. *****I’ve got to get out of here but I sure want to thank you for tagging along.

Pulitzer Prize-winner Suskin headlines Lamar-PA lecture

The Orange County Democratic Party held the 2014 Democratic Party Gala on Sept. 20 at the American Legion in Orange. Pictured are the candidates who spoke at the event, front from left, Gail Barnett and Kathy King; back from left, Michael Cole and Gavin Bruney. RECORD PHOTO: David Ball

Sparks fly at Democrat rally David Ball For e Record ere were some sparks flying at a routine political rally in Orange last week.

Gavin Bruney, the Democratic candidate for State Representative District 21, said at 2014 e Orange County Democratic Gala on Sept. 20 his Republican opponent, Dade Phelan, filed his paperwork to run while he wasn’t residing in the district.

Bruney added that state law reads a candidate must live in the district for one year before filing. He added he has evidence Phelan resided in District 22 at the time instead of District 21.

“He did not live in District 21 when he filed on November 4, 2013,” Bruney said during his speech. “e law says you have to live in the district for one year. I have evidence he's still living in District 22. His slip is backdated for October 29, 2013. He's lying about his application. He's what we call a carpetbagger. He's been lying from the beginning.”

He went on to say Phelan has much name recognition because he works for Phelan Investments which own properties in Jefferson County and Orange County.

“He has a case of affluenza,” Bruney said. “He thinks he's entitled to this because he has millions of dollars. He's not concerned with the working people of Orange County and Jefferson County. He has a personal agenda of advancing their cause.” Bruney also included his professional, educational and family background to the audience and said he would work for the citizens in the Legislature in Austin.

Phelan responded during a telephone interview his opponent in the Republican primary, Judy Nichols, also said he lived in the wrong district and she was wrong then just as Bruney is wrong now.

Phelan said he hired an outside attorney to investigate the matter. e GOP hired their own attorney to look in as well and found no wrongdoing.

He explained the street he lives on in the West End of Beaumont is split on one side as District 21 and the other side as District 22. “It is patently, ridiculously untrue,” Phelan said. “I don't know who started it. If I was illegal they would had kicked me off the ballot. “I have not talked about my opponent and I wish he would talk about the issues for Southeast Texas.”

In other candidates' speeches, Gail Barnett, candidate for Precinct Justice of the Peace, said she didn't plan to run for the office of justice of the peace, but God had plans for her to run. She said she has a background in family court, a municipal court judge, a prosecutor and private practice.

She said her opponent, Republican incumbent, David Peck, said Barnett is using the justice of the

peace office as a stepping stone. She replied, “You're never overqualified to serve God.” Barnett added a responsible judge looks at the law and the facts.

She gave as an example of issuing exorbitant fines to parents of children who have run-ins with the law.

She rhetorically asked if those fines solve the problem in which she answered no. “You can't have cookie-cutter solutions to any problems. You have to think outside the box and tailor solutions for each case,” Barnett said.

Kathy King, Democratic candidate for the Texas State Board of Education, District 7, said she has worked with children and young adults for 13 years as an occupational therapist in classroom settings as well as being a mother of five.

Her main goals in the race are to revamp educational standards to be more functional and to receive teachers' input on standards.

She gave an example of her opponent, incumbent David Bradley, literally turning his back on a group of English teachers when they tried to give their input. “Who better knows their subject matter than someone who teaches English than an English teacher?” King asked.

She also said Bradley spoke of American Exceptionalism. King said the citizens are American Exceptionalism. She also mentioned textbooks in Texas have taken out omas Jefferson, climate change, said segregation wasn't such a bad thing in America, and Moses was the inspiration for the Constitution.

“Kids need to learn facts; not opinions based on political agendas,” King said. “ese are our future leaders. We must give them better than that. is is a very important election.”

Michael Cole, candidate for the 36th Congressional district, began his speech by calling America a land of promise and gave historical examples of Democrats who made it so. He then gave a metaphor of contemporary complacency as a desert, but a way to head back to the “river.”

Cole said the nation is not sold to the highest bidder, but is open to each and every American. He then have examples of Democratic-led legislation such as Social Security, health care, the Great Society and the Moon landing to name a few.

Cole concluded his speech by saying many think it doesn't matter if they vote, but many great people in the past fought for the right to vote. John Baker, IBEW member and former vice president of a AFLCIO chapter, spoke on unions and the community.

He said prior to unions, workers would spend 60 to 70 hours a week, six-and-a-half days a week, on the job. ey would often get hurt, maimed or killed on the job. Baker said only 10 percent of the population is in organized labor, but he thin

PORT ARTHUR – Ron Suskind’s passion is telling the story of those who often unable to tell it themselves. The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist has spent his career chronicling the American social and political landscape, building a reputation along the way that is unsurpassed.

On Wednesday, Oct. 8, Suskind will appear as the featured speaker at the Lamar State CollegePort Arthur Distinguished Lecture Series, which starts at 7 p.m. in the Carl Parker Multipurpose Center, located at 1800 Lakeshore Drive in Port Arthur. The event is free of charge to the public and an interpreter will be on hand to assist the hearing impaired.

Suskind is considered among our most honored journalists, having written several of America’s most important works of nonfiction. He is also a gifted speaker, blending monologue with reported reality, pathos with humor.

His groundbreaking and highly anticipated book, “Life, Animated”, lifts a curtain on his family’s 20-year struggle with their youngest son, Owen. This story is not merely about Owen’s autism; at its core, it is about human redemption and how imagination saved a person’s life.

Suskind, who has traveled the globe for 30 years writing prize-winning articles and books about the discarded and disenfranchised, discovered the most “left behind” person he ever met lived in his own home, a boy neurologically incapable of connecting with the world. The themes of love, support and perseverance are highlighted to give new meanings to faith and caregiving. Ultimately, Suskind’s guide and teacher—as he took on Presidents and stitched together some of the era’s most influential narratives—was Owen, who found his voice and place in the world through the

power of old Disney movies, myth, fable and legend.

Suskind’s previous books include New York Times bestsellers “The Way of the World: A Story of Truth and Hope in an Age of Extremism”; “The One Percent Doctrine: Deep Inside America’s Pursuit of its Enemies”; “The Price of Loyalty: George W. Bush, the White House and the Education of Paul O’Neil”; and “A Hope in the Unseen”. Suskind’s latest New York Times bestseller, “Confidence Men, Wall Street, Washington, and the Education of a President”, has been among the most widely-cited books about the White House and Wall Street.

From 1990 to 2000, Suskind was a reporter and senior national affairs writer for the Wall Street Journal. His stories have dealt a wide array of topics, including poverty, race, the economy, money management and risk, national politics, and gender issues in the workplace. He has also written for television and several national magazines, including Esquire and the New York Times Magazine. He has taught advanced journalism at Harvard University and is currently the Senior Fellow at Harvard University’s Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics.

Suskind is the 49th Distinguished Lecture Series speaker to grace the stage at Lamar State-Port Arthur, adding his name to a list of world-famous celebrities, journalists and politicians who have appeared since the Series began in 1989. Those who have trekked to Port Arthur over the years included the likes of President Jimmy Carter, Vice President Dan Quayle, actors La Var Burton and James Earl Jones, astronaut Mark Kelly and journalists Dan Rather and Bob Schieffer, among others.

LC-M alum returns to share story of academic success Little Cypress-Mauriceville High School students in Terry Morris’ classes had the opportunity to hear from someone who had been in their seats, literally, not too long ago. Dr. Meagan Pollock, 2001 LCM alumni and member of the LCM TSTEM Advisory Board, took the opportunity to share her story with the students.

Dr. Pollock is a former National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow, with a PhD in engineering education from Purdue University.

She worked as an engineer for Texas Instruments, including three co-op rotations, before returning to school to earn her doctorate. She has earned a BS in computer science, with a minor in mathematics, from Texas Woman’s University (graduated cum laude and from the Honors Scholar Program) and an MS in electrical engineering from Texas Tech University as a part of the Program for Semiconductor Product Engineering.

Recently, Dr. Pollock was named the Director of Professional Development for the National Alliance for Partnerships in Equity. In this role, Dr.

Pollock will develop programs and products that help educators, administrators, and counselors improve equity in the classroom, ultimately to increase the participation of women and minorities in high-skill, high-wage, and high-demand careers.

Dr. Pollock encouraged all students to consider a career in a STEM field. Along with discussions about what careers the students were considering, Dr. Pollock talked about the school being named a T-STEM Academy and how that is a positive, no matter what field of study is followed.

Dr. Pollock talked to them about the importance of STEM careers and the demand for these high-skill, high-wage jobs. She suggested sites to help students explore the offerings of the STEM world. The website has a tab that lists science careers, their descriptions and courses to take in high school to prepare you for those careers. It also has everything from science project ideas to “Ask an Expert” and links for teachers and parents. She also suggested , the website of the Bu-

Relatives and friends are welcome to bring a small personal momento to send with Carolyn.

Every once in a while, I run across a recipe that I want to cook right away. I love to change recipes up and make them my own creation. I found this rotisserie recipe by accident when I was looking for a chicken faijta recipe. I made it and fell in love with it. After the second time I made it, I thought about the marinade and thought it might be good injected into the hen. It was a hit for my family. Some people like it that way, and some don’t. I can tell you this - the rotisserie chicken stands on it’s own two feet (no pun intended). e fried corn is one of our favorite sides to serve with this meal. It just gives it a little lagniappe. For the non-Cajun readers, lagniappe is “something extra.”

Hope y’all enjoy this one.

Bon appétit!

Injectable Marinade 1/2 cup olive oil 1 cup melted butter 1 cup Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon Tabasco 1 can (14.5 oz.) low sodium chicken broth 1 cup white wine or beer (optional) 3-4 Tablespoons Cajun seasoning Mix all ingredients and inject into chicken for grilling or baking. Be sure to rub bird down with olive oil (if not using butter) before cooking.

Rotisserie Chicken 3-5 pound hen salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika to taste 1/2 cup butter, melted Inject marinade generously into all areas of the hen under the skin Melt butter and add seasonings Liberally spread butter mixture all over hen Place seasoned hen on rotisserie and cook 1 1/2 - 2 hours,

basting occasionally until internal temperature reaches 180 degrees in the thickest part of the hen.

Remove from rotisserie and let stand 10-15 minutes before serving.

Fried Corn 6 ears sweet corn 4 Tablespoons butter 1 Tablespoon bacon grease 4 slices uncooked bacon sugar, salt and pepper to taste Cut kernels into large bowl, then gently scrape knife against cob to drip milky liquid into bowl.

Melt butter and bacon grease over medium heat in large cast iron skillet. Add bacon - when bacon starts to cook, add corn.

Simmer 8-10 minutes until tender, stirring frequently. If corn seems to start drying out, add small bit of hot water or milk to keep moist.

If corn isn’t sweet, add sugar.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

MUSTANG INSIDER

• 1B

Bad weather, good game for West Orange-Stark Meri Elen Jacobs For the Record From the minute the Mustangs stepped on the muddy field Friday night, they took control of the game and never looked back as they beat the Silsbee Tigers, 35-0. Quarterback Jack Dallas was back as the starter, making up for the time he lost leading the Mustangs by completing 11 of 23 pass for 264 yards.

And senior Will Johnson took the opportunity to remind the fans that not only could he throw, since he filled in for Dallas the last two weeks, but he could catch as well. Johnson had five catches for 166 yards and three touchdowns.

“Our kids performed well in the bad weather,” Head Coach Cornel ompson said. “We had no injuries and got a victory and we swarmed to the ball defensively. We got our quarterback back and he was pretty impressive in the bad weather and the shape of the field, throwing five touchdown passes.” e first few minutes of the game were spent trading the ball back and forth before Dallas hit Trey Baldwin over the middle from 14 yards out and he was able to put WO-S up, 6-0. Kicker Hector Vela hit his first PAT to make it, 7-0.

With every play, the field got worse, limiting the running game for both teams.

And the Chain Gang defense didn’t help Silsbee out at all either, holding them to -10 yards rushing and only five first downs, three of those coming off of penalties.

After a Dallas to Johnson 17 yard touchdown pass and a good Vela PAT, the Mustangs went in at the half up, 14-0.

Although they changed their muddy, wet uniforms, they didn’t change the pace that they were playing to and continued on their great defensive and offensive performance. Dallas threw a 70-yard touchdown pass and a 33-yard one to Johnson. Junior Aric Cormier got his first varsity touchdown when Dallas found him wide open in the middle of the field for a 62 yard reception for the score. “is makes the second year that Silsbee has come to our place and not scored,” ompson said. “ey weren’t able to handle the field or the weather very well.” e 4-0 Mustangs will travel to Baytown to play the 4-0 Richmond Foster Falcons Friday night at 7:30. e two teams have never faced each other before.

“Richmond Foster is a very good football team,” ompson said. “ey are ranked number 5 or 6 in the state in 5A, depending on what poll you look at. ey are averaging about 40 points a game. I expect us to get punched in the mouth, but I also expect us to punch them in the mouth!”

According to ompson, this is a game that the Mustangs need to prepare us for district and beyond. “e seniors need to step forward and give leadership, especially those that have experience in the

Cards pick up big homecoming win vs. Liberty

By Gerry L. Dickert For e Record BRIDGE CITY – For high school teams, homecoming night is as big a game as the young men who don the school’s colors will every play ... and perhaps the most distracting as well. e Bridge City Cardinals not only worked through a weeklong series of homecoming events without wavering from their goal but also overcame an extra-long halftime show and a Liberty football team that was determined to disappoint the home crowd.

On Friday night in front of an overflow crowd, the Cardinals combined a strong aerial attack with a stifling defense to overwhelm Liberty 25-14 at Larry Ward Stadium, giving Bridge City its first win of the season. “is was a very important game. We needed a confidence booster, we needed to know we could win, that we could finish games, and we proved that to

ourselves tonight,” Cardinals head coach Cris Stump said after the game. “We’re just young guys trying to get better. is gives us a lot of confidence heading into next week when we start district.” e Cards, who are now 1-3 for the season, dared not look past the Panthers who were also looking for their first win of the season.

And from the start, it was apparent Bridge City was ready to dominate. On the very first play from scrimmage, quarterback Byron Trahan hit Blaine Slaughter for 40 yards. On the next play, Hunter Denton hauled in a 14yarder from Trahan. BC worked its way to the 2 yard line but a 17-yard loss on a bad snap from center forced the Cards to its kicking game with omas Findlay booting a 27-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead.

Liberty’s first snap from scrimmage resulted in a lost

Watch for Battlin’ Bears to top Silsbee this week FEARLESS FORECAST Joe Kazmar For the Record

Games This Week

WEST ORANGE-STARK over RICHMOND FOSTER—Both teams come into this Friday night game with perfect 4-0 records after posting impressive victories last weekend—the Mustangs blanked Silsbee 35-0 while Foster overpowered Fort Bend Marshall 43-13. Foster is the No. 3-ranked Class 5A team in the Greater Houston area from District 245A. If the ‘Stangs don’t finish the regular season undefeated, it probably will be because of this team from Richmond.

LITTLE CYPRESS-MAURICEVILLE over SILSBEE—e Bears will need a tight pass defense to pull off a victory over the aerial-minded Tigers, but it can be done. Silsbee was unable to light the scoreboard last week against the undefeated West OrangeStark Mustangs, but so have a lot of other teams. e Battlin’ Bears need to start District 10-4A-I play on the right foot.

CLEVELAND over BRIDGE CITY—Last week we picked the Cards to lose and they came up with an impressive victory over Liberty. Hopefully that magic will continue in the District 10-4A-I opener.

NEWTON over ORANGEFIELD—e Bobcats have put up a passel of points in their two straight victories and will need that trend to continue after picking such a formidable opponent as their Homecoming foe. e last time the Bobcats posted two consecutive wins was in 2010.

NEDERLAND over VIDOR—e Pirates are opening District 22-5A play against the team that is usually picked each year to win their district championship. at’s not the case this year, but the Pirates have waded through a very difficult pre-district schedule and hopefully are ready for this tough league.

WEST SABINE over DEWEYVILLE—is will be the final game the Pirates play before District 113A-II begins in two weeks. ey will have a well-deserved bye next week to get ready for league competition. e Tigers went 10-1 last season and

have several key players returning for 2014.

ALLEN ACADEMY (BRYAN) over ORANGE COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN—e Lions have given up a lot of points in their last two games which resulted in losses and need to stiffen up on defense and open up more on offense in order to have a successful season.

SAM HOUSTON STATE over LAMAR—e Cardinals won three of their four non-conference games and could possibly be on a roll. But the Bearkats have been tough in the Southland conference the past couple of years and still have a pretty salty squad.

McNEESE STATE over ARKANSAS TECH— Don’t know much about the Cowboys’ opponent this week, but do know the Pokes are well-rested and should finish their non-conference schedule with a victory in front of the home crowd in Lake Charles Saturday night.

HIGH SCHOOL—Hamshire-Fannett over Smithville, Hardin-Jefferson over Center, Jasper over Splendora, Galena Park North Shore over Beaumont West Brook, Channelview over Port Arthur Memorial, Beaumont Central over Baytown Goose Creek Memorial, Beaumont Ozen over Lumberton, PN-G over Baytown Lee, Houston Westbury Christian over Beaumont Kelly, Houston Lutheran North over Beaumont Legacy Christian, East Chambers over Anahuac, Kirbyville over Kountze, Buna over Warren, Woodville over Hardin, Evadale over Cushing, West Hardin over Sabine Pass, Hull-Daisetta over Colmesneil, High Island over Crosby Victory and Praise, Diboll over Liberty, Brenham over Tomball Memorial, Crosby over Galena Park, Dayton over Humble, Barbers Hill over New Caney; Beaumont Ozen over Lumberton (Sat.).

Are Texas teams headed in different directions?

Last year’s 2-14 record compiled by the Houston Texans probably caused a lot of Lone Star State pro football fans to abandon them and look for a team that has a shot at getting into a Super Bowl.

Fortunately—or perhaps unfortunately— I was not one of those front-runner hunters. I still root for both the Texans and the Dallas Cowboys to do well. If the two teams happen to meet, I probably will wave my Texans’ banner.

Today it would be a toss-up for most fans trying to decide on which Texas franchise to support. But if one takes a closer look, he or she would see a world of difference in the direction each team is headed, especially after Sunday’s game results. e Cowboys, who played one of their lousiest games against the San Francisco 49ers to open the 2014 season, looked much better in Week 2 by completely dominating the Tennessee Titans, who were favored in their home game.

Hoping that the Pokes were really rolling in the right direction, they traveled to St. Louis Sunday to meet the 1-1 Rams as slight favorites. at must have made the Rams’ players mad because they came storming out and before the second quarter was barely half over, the Cowboys found themselves on the short end of a 21-0 score.

Keep in mind there were only two other occasions in franchise history when Dallas rallied from a 21-point deficit—1984 against New Orleans and 1999 against Washington—and both of those wins came in overtime. e Cowboys reduced the deficit nearly in half (21-10) by scoring a touchdown and field goal, did the same thing in the third period while the defense

came to life and shut down the Rams’ offense, and went into the final quarter only trailing 21-20.

Veteran quarterback Tony Romo took over the offense by initiating several big plays and when the final gun sounded, he had recorded his 21st comeback victory in the fourth quarter or overtime as the Cowboys hung on for a 34-31 victory.

Romo was four-for-five for 40 yards and scrambled 16 yards on a third-and 13 on the go-ahead drive. e Cowboys padded their lead to 34-24 on Terrance Williams’ 25-yard interception return for a touchdown.

Running back DeMarco Murray had 100 yards on 24 carries, wide receiver Dez Bryant hauled in six passes for 89 yards and Romo connected on 18-of-23 passes and two touchdowns. e Cowboys will host the New Orleans Saints Sunday as early three-point underdogs. e story certainly was a different one for the Houston Texans, who took their unblemished 2-0 record to the Meadowlands in New Jersey to meet the winless New York Giants, who obviously were desperate for a victory.

It took a while, but the Giants finally started taking advantage of the Texans’ poor play and lousy decisions, not only by quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, but also new head coach Bill O’Brien.

Fitzpatrick had two squeakyclean, mistake-free outings before Sunday’s game where he threw three interceptions that were instrumental in Houston’s 30-17 loss. e Texans were forced to play without All-Pro running back Arian Foster, who was ruled ineligible to play due to a lingering hamstring injury. Foster had an NFL-high 55 carries through two games, which appeared to be too

good to be true and was.

Foster’s 55 rushes were the most in his career through two games. However, he struggled with injuries last season, including a hamstring issue, and played eight games before undergoing season-ending back surgery. He had missed nine of the Texans’ last 11 games.

O’Brien, who was the head coach in only his third NFL game after being hired by the Texans after only coaching in 24 games at Penn State, had two bad decisions on a third-and-19 in the second quarter and a fourthand-one in the third that cost his team 10 points.

But the blame can certainly be spread around to every position. e offensive line, which was outstanding the first two games, allowed too much pressure on Fitzpatrick and was below average in run blocking. e defensive line was terrible at stopping the run—Rashad Jennings rushed for 176 yards himself—and had only one sack on quarterback Eli Manning, who had plenty of time to find his targets. e Texans’ run defense had better improve quickly because the Buffalo Bills are coming to NRG Stadium Sunday with C.J Spiller and Fred Jackson leading their anemic ground attack that they are looking forward to improving immensely.

If all phases of their game don’t improve, the Houston Texans could very well be headed down that same path that resulted in 14 straight losses last season.

I certainly hope that’s not the case!!!

KWICKIES…Houston Texans’ inside linebacker Brian Cushing, who grew up in New Jersey, bought 20 tickets for his family and friends to watch him play Sunday afternoon against the New York Giants at e Meadowlands. Most of them are Giants fans—except when they

break.

In the first half, the Cardinals defense held Liberty to 17 yards rushing. “e defense played great all night,” Stump said. “ey’ve been kind of down, people running the scores up on us this season. Our guys played hard all night and that’s what we’ve been looking for. ose guys deserve everything they worked hard for tonight.”

Bridge City stretched its lead to 22-7 late in the third quarter when Trahan found Slaughter for 29 yards and the score, capping a six play, 59-yard drive.

Findlay added another field goal with 9:28 left in the game, extending the Cardinals’ lead to 25-7. e only other sustained drive

by Liberty came with just seconds left in the game as the Panthers moved 32 yards in four plays with Mallett running the ball across from 11 yards out for the 25-14 final.

“We turned the ball over a little bit,” Stump said of the Cards’ one fumble, “and we have to do better once we’re inside the red zone. We have to score touchdowns instead of kicking field goals.”

Cards fumble, recovered by Trahan.

Two plays later, the Cardinals were on the scoreboard again when Trahan tossed a 7-yarder to Denton for the score. A missed PAT kick left the Cards up 9-0. “ey were trying to cover us man to man,” Stump said. “We told our receivers, hey if you look up and you’ve got pressman, your eyes should get big.

We were able to get off the line and take advantage of those openings.”

Trahan finished the game 10 of 18 for 210 yards, completing eight of those passes for 10 yards or more. His top receiver was Slaughter, who had three catches for 105 yards. e Panthers closed the scoreboard gap to 9-7 after driving the field 82 yards in eight plays with Lagarius McQuirter catching a 20-yard pass from QB Darien Mullett.

It wouldn’t take long for the Cards to respond as Trahan hit Ryne Shugart for a 25-yard TD with 1:59 left in the half. e PAT kick was blocked and BC took a 15-7 lead into the

When you’re in a hurry, what happens? A flat tire, of course When was the last time that you unexpectedly suffered a flat tire on your boat trailer and just happened to be in front a tire dealership? In my case Friday afternoon it was pouring down raining and I had three hours to clean the boat for the next day’s trip, take a bath and drive to Lumberton for a football game!

As inconvenient as that was it was still far better than those countless flats that occurred on pre-dawn trips to Toledo Bend back when Hwy. 87 wasn’t as driver-friendly. e side of the road meant parking on grass and mud and hoping that the jack wouldn’t sink out of sight. Fortunately, not unlike most of today’s boat owners, I pull a tandem wheel trailer which enabled me

to limp home and take care of the chore on the driveway.

While I would have preferred that it not rain the entire time, the job still went without a hitch and I made it to the game on time. I no longer change a flat that I don’t silently thank Capt.

Johnny Cormier for having long

When you have no time to spare, you can bet THAT’S when you’ll have a flat on your trailer!

Korner play the Texans.

Sunset Grove golfer Dewey Scott used a phantom club to record a hole-in-one last week on the Par 3, No. 14 hole. It was his fourth ace and made him $200 richer because he belongs to the Men’s Golf Association. Witnessing the hole-in-one were Cimron Campbell, Jared Trosclair and Mark Magnuson.

It’s nice to see West Orange-Stark’s young quarterback Jack Dallas come back from his leg injury with his best performance of the season Friday night. e talented sophomore burned the Silsbee defense for five touchdown passes in the Mustangs’ 35-0 victory. He will need to duplicate that effort Friday night when his team meets undefeated Richmond Foster (4-0), which is the third-ranked Class 5A school in the Houston area.

Saturday wasn’t a good day for college teams ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 with a Tiger as their mascot. e No. 22 Clemson Tigers were knocked out of the poll by No. 1-ranked Florida State, No. 8 LSU lost to Mississippi State 34-29 and dropped all the way down to No. 17 and No. 18 Missouri was upset by unranked Indiana 31-27 and dropped out of the Top 25. However the top seven spots remained the same (1.Florida State 2.Oregon 3. Alabama 4. Oklahoma 5. Auburn 6. Texas A&M 7.Baylor), No. 8 Notre Dame moved up one place, No. 9 Michigan State came up two spots and No. 10 Ole Miss remained the same. Mississippi State was No.14 after not even being in the Top 25 last week.

e Houston Astros closed out their season at Minute Maid Park Sunday with Fan Appreciation Day and a resounding 8-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners. e win was No. 69 for the season and with six road games remaining on the 162-game schedule, it appears the team’s September goal of reaching 70 wins should happen—even before this Korner hits the streets. e 31,466 fans on hand gave All-Star second baseman Jose Altuve special recognition for leading the American League with a .345 batting average, 220 hits, multi-hit games (68), stolen bases and hopefully becoming the first Houston Astro to win a batting title.

JUST BETWEEN US… Sunday’s Super Bowl rematch at Seattle between the World Champion Seahawks and the Denver Broncos turned out to be a much better game than the actual Super Bowl contest in February. However, the results were the same with Seattle winning 26-20 in overtime.

Broncos’ Hall of Fame-to-be quarterback Peyton Manning brought his team from a 17-3 fourthquarter deficit to a 20-20 tie after he threw a crucial two-point conversion with 18 seconds left in regulation. But the cream always rises to the top as the Seahawks won the coin flip in overtime and quarterback Russell Wilson marched his team 80 yards with Marshawn Lynch scoring from six yards out for the game-winning touchdown, keeping Manning on the Denver bench during the entire overtime period. Orange’s All-Pro safety Earl omas caused a fumble which helped the Seahawks’ cause.

It only takes one lug nut that won’t budge and you are in a heap of trouble. I now routinely check the lug nuts on all four wheels and the props on both the troll motor and big engine for fishing line wrapped around the shaft every oil change. It doesn’t take long and it can save you not only unwanted misery, but money as well!

I am very much into the benefits of introducing youngsters to fishing and getting them to the water with reasonable expectations of catching a fish. at initial experience may or may not take, but they will know in the first few minutes and for those that are instantly hooked the new found passion will last a lifetime.

Some of the very best bass fishermen in this area today got their start in a high school bass club under Tommy Humphrey’s watchful eye years ago.

Humphrey, an art teacher and accomplished artist at WO-S that could bass fish as well as he painted, devoted much of his spare time to sharing his passion with his students.

He held monthly meetings, welcomed speakers and conducted monthly tournaments on the river. I spoke at a few of their

meetings and I well remember Tommy saying more than once, “ese kids do one thing better than ninety percent of the men fishing the clubs in this area.

Most of them are sharing small boats with small engines so they spend more time figuring out the fish than racing around the lake.”

Because their tournaments took place right here on the river, finding a ride was not that difficult for any youngster that really wanted to fish. If not mistaken, I think they ended each year with one tournament on Rayburn or Toledo Bend which was equivalent to the Bassmaster Classic for them. e bottom line is that a bass is a bass and the opportunity to hone their skills was in no way limited by the size of the venue or the size of the fish. It is a little ironic that the best bass fishermen in the world will return in March to fish this same body of water for the second time in the last three years!

And, while on the subject of taking the kids fishing, no group in this area does a better job of that than the family oriented S.A.L.T. Club. Well known for their annual Memorial Day tournament, the club hosts not only family oriented tournaments each month, but at least one a year just for kids. eir next “Kids only” event is scheduled for October 11th with the weigh-in time set for 11 o’clock at their clubhouse on Pleasure Island and this is one that you don’t want to miss. No entry form or fee is required and fishing time will start at safe light that morning. e youngsters will compete in three different divisions depending on their age. Youngsters in the 3 to 7 year old division can weigh in crabs, croakers and piggy perch. Kids in the 8 to 12 year old division can weigh in crabs, black drum and red fish and the youngsters in the 13 to 16 year old division can weigh in reds, specks and flounder. e top three finishers in each division will earn a trophy and cash to boot. Every youngster that weighs in will receive a ticket for a drawing at the end of the event and the prize is one they will never forget. e folks at Honeywell have really stepped up and will generously present the winning youngster a lifetime fishing license valued at $1,000!

Ancelet’s will also be on hand once again to provide hot dogs for the youngsters and the SALT Club will provide cold drinks.

Archery season opens up, drought concerns top list Texas white tail deer hunters will get their first opportunity to chase that buck they have been dreaming of since last season ended as the 2014-15 season gets underway this Saturday. e archery only season should be a good bench mark as to how much the statewide drought has affected the deer herd. Hunters in east Texas more than likely will be in much better shape than their counterparts in other parts of the state. e panhandle as well as west and south Texas have been extremely dry for most of the year, especially during the critical months when young deer as well as antlers grow.

Archers who took the time to feed all year long, either with food plots or deer feeders, should be in for plenty of action as many areas are nearly void of natural vegetation. e only consistent food source for many of Texas’ 4 million plus white tails has been of the supplemental variety courtesy of land owners and hunters. With the available forage being so scarce in many areas it’s obvious that any place with a good sup-

ply of water and food has the potential to be a bona fide hot spot.

For many a rch e r y hunters this S a t u r d a y ’s opener will be a culmination of m o n t h s worth of work. One area where archery folks really excel over gun hunters is in the area of practice shooting and knowing their weapon. Most bow hunters routinely shoot throughout the year and have a much greater understanding of what their weapon is capable of doing. e sport of archery hunting is exciting but you do need to pay attention to the details and variables that go along with this style of hunting and that’s where good instruction and service really come in handy.

Luckily for us here locally we have Pre-

cision Archery in Bridge City to take care of those problems and provide service that is second to none. If you have a problem with your bow or need some help concerning the sport of bow hunting this is the place to go, they are the best at what they do.

Now as this writing it looks like the forecast will be favorable for the weekend, low’s in the low 60’s and high’s in the low 80’s with low humidity. No it’s not ultra cold like most hunters would like but it’s also not 90 degrees plus with a gazillion percent humidity either and that in itself is a bonus. Now I am not 100 percent sure yet and I will need to do some checking but according to several folks I have spoken with the almanac says we are in for a wet and cold winter. at forecast may be music to many hunters ears but that remains to be seen if comes true. Fortunately for the first time in quite a while the local conditions look much better than the majority of the state. All that rain earlier in the year may pay big dividends for both the deer and the bow hunters.

The white-tailed deer archery season opens this weekend, Sept. 27, and runs through Oct. 31. The general season in North Texas runs from Nov. 1 through Jan. 4, 2015, and in South Texas from Nov. 1 to Jan. 18, 2015.

LC-M alum returns to share story of academic success Little Cypress-Mauriceville High School students in Terry Morris’ classes had the opportunity to hear from someone who had been in their seats, literally, not too long ago. Dr. Meagan Pollock, 2001 LCM alumni and member of the LCM TSTEM Advisory Board, took the opportunity to share her story with the students.

Dr. Pollock is a former National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow, with a PhD in engineering education from Purdue University.

She worked as an engineer for Texas Instruments, including three co-op rotations, before returning to school to earn her doctorate. She has earned a BS in computer science, with a minor in mathematics, from Texas Woman’s University (graduated cum laude and from the Honors Scholar Program) and an MS in electrical engineering from Texas Tech University as a part of the Program for Semiconductor Product Engineering.

Recently, Dr. Pollock was named the Director of Professional Development for the National Alliance for Partnerships in Equity. In this role, Dr.

Pollock will develop programs and products that help educators, administrators, and counselors improve equity in the classroom, ultimately to increase the participation of women and minorities in high-skill, high-wage, and high-demand careers.

Dr. Pollock encouraged all students to consider a career in a STEM field. Along with discussions about what careers the students were considering, Dr. Pollock talked about the school being named a T-STEM Academy and how that is a positive, no matter what field of study is followed.

Dr. Pollock talked to them about the importance of STEM careers and the demand for these high-skill, high-wage jobs. She suggested sites to help students explore the offerings of the STEM world. The website has a tab that lists science careers, their descriptions and courses to take in high school to prepare you for those careers. It also has everything from science project ideas to “Ask an Expert” and links for teachers and parents. She also suggested , the website of the Bu-

Shane Cassel La Porte Shane Hollis Cassel, 27, of La Porte, died Friday, Sept. 5, at Memorial Herman Hospital in

Houston of a brain aneurysm and a massive brain hemorrhage.

Shane was born on June 17, 1987. He grew up in La Porte.

He graduated from La Porte High School in 2006. Shane was a sensitive, kindhearted, generous young man who loved fishing, camping, working on truck and car engines, and riding around town in his truck. He enjoyed fishing the waters from Lake Sam Rayburn to Austin, and from Wyoming to Galveston. Most of all he loved his family and his dog, Hunter.

Shane’s last act of generosity was to donate his organs so that he could give life to several people who were so desperately depending on a new organ in order to live.

Shane was preceded in death by his Paw-Paw, Bob Hollis of Bridge City, and his cousin, Gary Hollis of Orange.

Survivors include his mother, Beth Hollis Cassel of La Porte (formerly of Bridge City); father, Don Cassel & step-mother Bobbie of Alvin; grandmother, Virginia Hollis of Bridge City; aunt, Diana Hollis Burris, uncle and aunt, Bobby and Tina Hollis, all of Orange; cousins, Darren and Korey Burris, and Bryan Hollis.

Pallbearers were Michael Barnes, Ryan Gilbert, Chris Murphy, Jesse Moore, Tank, and Chris Utzman.

Funeral Services were held under the direction of Grand View Funeral Home, in Pasadena. A gathering for family and friends was held Wednesday, Sept. 10, from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

reau of Labor Statistics, which also has student and teacher resources.

According to Dr. Terri Estes, LCM Principal, “We are extremely fortunate to have someone of Dr. Pollock’s experience and expertise come to talk to our students. Her position at the National Alliance for Partnership in Equity provides her with

a unique perspective on the changes coming in the global economy. Her support on our Advisory Board is invaluable. e fact that she is an LCM graduate and Orange native gives her the added benefit of understanding our school and community. Dr. Pollock is a wonderful role model for our students.”
