Elaine Meyers shares survivor’s story Debby Schamber For The Record

In 2013, it is estimated among U.S. women there will be 232,340 new cases of invasive breast cancer and 64,640 new cases of in situ breast cancer and 39,620 breast cancer deaths. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. It is estimated that more than 1.6 million new cases of breast cancer occurred among women world-

wide in 2010, according to the Susan G. Komen foundation.

It affects women of all ages, ethnicities and incomes. For Orange businesswoman, Elaine Meyers, she was not immune to the deadly disease.

However, she is a survivor.

Meyers found a lump under her left arm in March 1989 while on a business trip in California.

“It was just a lump near the surface that felt like a round circle about the size of a quar-

ter,” she said. “I had no pain.”

Meyers had always been in good health and didn’t have a history of cancer in her MEYERS family.

She also had annual mammograms for the past four years. But, she knew something was wrong.

Her doctor in Orange sent her for another mammogram

before confirming her worse fears. It appreared she not only had breast cancer, but it was already widely spread.

Telling her then 70-year-old mother and children about her cancer was one of the hardest parts about her illness.

“I am a survivor,” she said. “I knew I was tough, but I didn’t know what it would do to my family.”

At the time when she learned of her cancer, Meyers already owned The Horseman

Store, a 12,000 square foot western store in Orange. She was also starting Pottery World in Orange.

She began dealing with her cancer by putting her research skills to work to find the best cancer doctor. After completing her own research, both her daughter in Nacogdoches and her sister in Richmond both came to the same conclusion and recommended the same oncologist and surgeon — Dr. Peter de Ipolyi.

When she called the doctor’s office to schedule an appointment, his receptionist said he had been waiting on her call. Dr. de Ipolyi had learned of Meyers condition through her daughter’s professor’s son. The son was a surgeon at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Houston where de Ipolyi is a member of the Stehlin Research Foundation.

Debby Schamber For The Record

Every day is different for Evette Jones, service sergeant for the Orange County jail who oversees several service positions on a daily basis.

Jones began working for the jail 23 years ago. She began her career by working part time in the commissary.

However, when an opening became available for her current position, she applied.

Jones has remained in her current position ever since.

Her job is not just one thing everyday. Each part is like a cog on a wheel and each part must work efficiently to keep moving forward.

“For the most part, I enjoy my job,” Jones said.

But, she finds her biggest reward on the job is often with her officers.

“I have a good relationship with them,” she said. “It is a great place to work and I have great bosses.”

The service positions she is responsible for maintaining

consist of trusty boss, maintenance and jail orders, mail officer and issuance of inmate supplies. Should any of her officers be absent due to sickness, vacation or school, it is Jones’ job to cover the positions and obtain someone to effectively work the position until the officer returns.

She also oversee five parttime workers too. They are for visitation, two officers for commissary, recreation and the law library. She maintains the employee’s schedules and makes sure the inmate services are provided properly on a daily basis. If any of the parttime officers are unable to fulfill their duties, it is Jones’ job to make sure the position is covered. In addition, she checks the inmate visitation and recreation logs to make sure they are complete.

Recreation time for the inmates is done three times per week as required by jail standards.

Over the years, the way the commissary works has changed. In the past, inmates

went to the commissary and purchased the items they wanted. Now, they simply call-in their orders by telephones located within the jail. The items are later delivered to them. Inmates “make store” twice weekly. The most popular item is Ramen Noodle Soup. The “soups” are used like currency within the jail walls. It is not uncommon for several inmates to purchase various items at the commissary and combine their efforts to make a concoction they rave about and eat together. Inmates who do not have money for commissary are not left out. They are given an indigent care pack which consists of paper, envelopes and personal hygiene items such as deodorant and toothpaste.

Most inmates have visitors come and go during their stay. In the lobby of the visitation room, there is a kiosk for visitors to put money into INSIDE OC JAIL Page 3A

Thibodeaux not Lions Carnival opens today to seek reelection Debby Schamber

Debby Schamber For The Record

It was business as usual Monday during the Orange County Commissioner’s meeting until Judge Carl Thibodeaux announced he will not have to choose a party for the upcoming election, because he will not be seeking re-election.

“I did not want to do this,” he said. He stopped for a moment and regained composure before he added,” But, I have to.”

Thibodeaux said he had done the job as county judge for more than 18 years. It had worn him down physically and mentally.

“I cannot undergo any further stress,” he said.

He added, he would not discuss it any further at this time.

In other county business, commissioners approved the $85 purchase for an upgrade kit for the currency scanner/ counter which will detect counterfeit bills. The upgrade is to support the new $100 bills being released on Oct. 8.

Commissioners also discussed nominations for the Orange County Appraisal District’s Board of THIBODEAUX Director’s Election.

It was for nomination only since they will be voted on in November by commissioners.

Commissioners voted to renew an agreement between Orange County and the Big Thicket National Preserve which will provide mutual law enforcement assistance in and near the preserve. According to Orange County Sheriff Keith Merritt, there is about 8,000 acres in Orange County which is part of the Big Thicket.

The contract for the 2013-14 Southeast Texas Regional Planning Commission was accepted in the amount of $386,794.

Thibodeaux said there was no action taken on the Sheriff’s Employees Union Contract to report.

Driving down Green Avenue, anyone can’t help but notice the Lion’s Club Carnival is gearing up again for two fun-filled weekends.

The carnival will have a grand opening and ribbon cutting on their opening day on Oct. 2. The ribbon cutting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.

The Lions Club will honor Joe Will by proclaiming it “Joe Will Day.” Will is a former city of Orange employee who retired after many years of service. He was a kindhearted, hard worker who helped prepare the park for the annual carnival.

People attending the carnival on that day can gain entry by bringing a canned food item for each person entering. The collected can items will be donated to local charities.

Admission is $2 for adults 18 years and up and $1 for children ages 13 to 17 and children under 13 are free.

Rides are $1 each.

“Our goal is to make it affordable for all,” said Chris

Members of the Lions Club are on the latest addition to the carnival — The Thunderbolt. This ride which will replace the Flying Bob that was destroyed in Hurricane Ike. It will be the centerpiece of the carnival with the lights and sound systems and is guaranteed to be an exhilarating, heart-pumping, fast ride.

Kovatch, carnival chairman.

This is the 74th year for the annual Lions Carnival. The first carnival grossed about $108 which was touted as a success. Since then it has remained a big success and grown in numbers of people who annually flock to the carnival, according to Kovatch.

The most popular game is the dime toss. The gold fish table is another favorite. But, the gold fish game has been improved with a larger table

and moved to accommodate the larger crowd.

Over the years, there have been some changes in the rides. This year it took three weeks to put the rides together, but well worth the wait.

With much anticipation for thrill seekers, there will be an added ride which will replace the Flying Bob that was destroyed in Hurricane Ike. This year, the Thunderbolt will make it’s debut. It will be the centerpiece of the carnival with the lights and sound systems. It is guaranteed to be an exhilarating, heartpumping, fast ride.

Also new this year is a rock climbing wall where children will be able to reach new heights and feel a sense of accomplishment in addition to a good time.

The rides for older children have a height requirement of 42 inches tall to ensure everyone’s safety at all times.

However, the younger children are not left out. The inflatable super slide has been rebuilt. Over the years, it had become worn and had some LIONS CARNIVAL Page 3A

Breast cancer survivor her mammogram and examined her, he said there was no need for a biopsy.

“Your cancer is so widespread, we just need to take care of the problem tomorrow,” he told her.

The following day, she had surgery.

The doctor determined Meyers was a candidate for a lumpectomy which requires just the removal of the cancerous tumor and a small margin surrounding the breast tissue instead of a radical massectomy which removes the entire breast.

“I went to sleep knowing that 80 percent of my breast would be saved, which is a big help,” Meyers said.

But, the medical team discovered 16 of the lymph nodes under her left arm were positive for breast cancer, so all 22 were removed. She started chemotherapy four days after surgery and the doctors scheduled radiation treatment to being a month later.

The chemotherapy treatment was worse than she had anticipated.

Meyers boldly went to the office wearing her “beautiful” wig. Through tears she told them about losing her hair.

“So, does that make people love you any less?” they asked.

These were simple words of encouragement touched her heart.

During the month following her surgery, she had a setback which delayed her radiation treatments. She had pricked her finger with a crawfish shell during an event her friends and customers had thrown for her. The cut turned into a severe infection and before it could be controlled her temperature soared to 106 degrees.

“They took me to the hospital on Monday and I didn’t know anything until that Saturday when the fever finally broke,” she said.

“I had no white cells to fight the infection.”

Meyers finally began her radiation treatments in May. For

“For two days, they would give me IVs with the chemical in it and I would vomit nonstop,” she said. “Then they would give me a day to recover.”

On the fourth day, she was sent home.

Meyers was told her hair would fall out within 30 days, and it did. Losing her hair was traumatic, but she learned to cope.

“I lived by myself and one morning I was so fearful of my hair falling out that I called my friend, Gayle Peveto, at 2 a.m.,” she said. “ I was crying and I said to her,”’ Do I wash it or not?”

My friend told me not to wash it and we cried together.

However, Meyers waited until her maid came the next morning before washing her hair because she wanted someone near her.

“I put my head in the sink and three-fourths of my hair fell in the sink as I washed it,” she said. “ Then I asked her to help me cut the rest.”

Meyers put on a wig she had bought before starting chemo-

Orange Lions Carnival tears. When it could no longer be repaired, Lions Club members went on the search for another one. But, found the same company who had made the previous slide, could make another one. The newer slide will also make it’s debut at the carnival.

This is the only fundraiser for the Lions Club has for the

year. They are known for their good work in the community.

With the money collected, they are able to help with the requests for eyeglasses. Last year, they helped with $18,000 in eyeglasses.

The Lions Club also gives food baskets during Christmas. They obtain a list through the Salvation Army

and deliver the goods to needy families. In addition, the money collected supports the Lions Camp in Kerrville while handicapped children attend.

Finally, they put the money collected to good use when they offer scholarships to local high school seniors.

Inside Orange County Jail their commissary account.

Jones also oversees the kitchen staff so they can continue to feed the inmates three times per day.

It is Jones’ job to provide work crews with the jail inmates. They are screened before being assigned to a work crew. Currently about 40 inmates work outside the jail.

The jail has contracts with the cities of Vidor and Orange.

Sometimes the inmates are seen in the community hard at work on projects such as assembling the rides at the Lions Club Carnival.

Jones is also over the classification of inmates. When an inmate is booked into the jail, they are screened to make sure their placement will be safe for all involved. It could possibly turn violent if two inmates are housed together that have been known to have issues with one another in the past. Other times, an inmate

may do better in smaller groups or have mental issues and need to be in a smaller unit.

Inmates with a grievance can go to a committee to voice their concerns. The Grievance Board meets weekly. Jones has two officers who help research the claim, assist with the grievances and offer a timely reply to the inmate’s concerns.

Also on a weekly basis, Jones sets up inmates for a interviews with court appointed attorneys via video teleconference. However, on a daily basis, Jones is responsible for inmate request forms. She stamps them, answers some and delivers the others to the appropriate areas for a reply.

To help the inmates she organizes parenting classes to help them to learn to become better parents. They learn to deal with their children and face problems which may arise. The inmates sign up for

the class and class size is limited. Upon completion of the class, they are issued a certificate. An upcoming class will be to teach alcohol and drug awareness.

After an inmate has left the facility for more than 45 days and has not collected their property, Jones donates it to the Goodwill.

At the end of the day, she has the satisfaction of a job well done. She knows in order to keep things moving, she has to prepare since she never knows what a new day will bring.

When not at work, she likes to spend time with family and friends.

Jones also is devoted to her faith and church.

“My faith in God is very important to me,” Jones said.

In the stressful environment she works in, it is always nice to have a distraction from above or simply at home.

HEALTH CARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS On Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2013, the Affordable Care Act began signing up citizens. The federal government’s health care website healthcare.gov opened for business at 8 a.m. Visitors will be able to navigate ways to shop for and buy health insurance that is now the law of the land. Despite the Tea Party element of the Republican Party’s attempt to kill the bill and remove funding for it, the exchanges opened Tuesday and will remain open for citizens to buy insurance untilMarch 31, 2014. Your local insurance company might very well be in the exchange. If you have questions, calling alocal agent might be your best bet, they can guide you in the right direction. All insurance policies will be sold by private insurance companies.

The federal government doesn’t and will not sell insurance, it can be bought through the exchange. If you’re happy with your present insurance plan you can keep it. Buying from an exchange company is a choice not a mandate. For more information call 1-800-318-2596.

From the Creaux’s Nest QUITING HARD DECISION FOR THIBODEAUX Monday Judge Carl Thibodeaux made the hardest decision he’s ever had to make. Calling it quits as County Judge. He wanted to serve another term badly but those aware of his past health problems knew there might come the time when he would have to choose between his health and the stress. Over the years, Thibodaux has had heart problems resulting in several stints. Going through the annual budget process always took its toll. No county judge in the past 60 years that I’m aware of has been more dedicated, always on the job with his door wide open.

No county judge prior toThibodeaux ever voted on every issue.

It’s not necessary except in case of a tie. Judge Thibodaux never shies away from any issue. He takes any heat that comes his way and lives with the decisions he makes. The longest serving county judge in Orange County history serves us well. There is no doubt in my mind that if he chose to run he would be reelected. No he wouldn’t have changed parties because it’s the way he came to office and he strongly believes a national party has nothing to do with local representation. “The Judge” has 15 more months and one more budget to go through. We hope he gets to fulfill the remainder of his term and his health doesn’t get in the way. I could fill a sheet full of improvements made during his leadership. When he goes he’ll leave some big shoes to fill.*****I’ve got to move on. Please come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm.

EXTREMIST CAUSE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN All House Speaker John Boehner had to do was call for an up or down vote on the senate bill. Let the hair go with the hide. It would have been an easy out for everyone, especially for the Speaker. He was threatened by Tea Partymembers, led

by Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan, who are joined at the hip with Sen. Ted Cruz, a new Texas senator who arrived in Washington just nine months ago. Canadian born Cuban, Cruz, unheard of a year ago, has stepped on anyone in the way to raise his national visibility. Nine months ago Marco Rubio was the rising star of the GOP. Cruz stepped on him, calling Rubio liberal for trying to pass an immigration bill. Cruz displaced him. Rubio once led the polls, today he’s dead last. Cruz, in mounting his fight against the Affordable Care Act, turned his political career with a one act play. He figures to be the only winner if he can catapult himself into the Republican nomination in 2016 by carrying the early states. He has set himself up as the leader of the Tea Party. Right now Cruz and Rush Limbaugh are the face of the Republican Party. Oddly enough, Cruz has a better chance at getting the GOP nomination than getting re-elected in Texas in 2018 when the tide will have changed. Cruz has a targeted following, those who will suffer are those who followed Cruz’s lead and shutdown the government. Mark my word, Republicans from the White House to the Courthouse will pay a price. Meanwhile, Cruz moves on to acquire personal power. The Republican Congressoutsmarted themselves. They sent a bill to the senate that exempted veterans and others from the shut down. Their gamble was that President Obama would reject the entire bill, instead, e rabbed it up and signed it into law.

The‘Horse Head’ was that they were going to blame Obama for turning his back on the military. He left them with egg on their faces. The Tea Party doesn’t vote for anything. Their MO is created on one crisis, after another. Next is the debt ceiling.

This one is dangerous and could cause a global meltdown. At some point the American people will say enough. Maybe as early as the next election.

NO SURPRISE DUBOSE RUNNING FOR JUDGE I had to laugh when I heard that former County Commissioner John Dubose was going to run as a Republican for county judge. Anyone who has followed local politics as long as I have knows that John was the most conservative commissioner that served in many decades. That includes the present court. Some may be more vocal but not more reasonably conservative. Two main things stand out about John, his knowledge generally, plus 12 years on the court. The other is his leadership qualities and what I’ve seen since he was mayor of Bridge City and the many improvements he brought to a growing city. He’s not radical in his reasoning. It’s never about himself. He has little ego. Raised as an orphan boy, who worked to educate himself, he’s always been dedicated to service. He calls it pay back for his well being. I think everyone knew that John would be a candidate for county judge when the time came for Thibodeaux to give it up. The first question I was asked was how he and Commissioner John Banken would work together. I’ve been around politics for a long time and here’s what I know. Over and over again, I’ve seen candidates run against each other and when the dust settled they emerged as friends, in some cases best friends. Banken and Dubose are both grown men. They know the job is not about themselves, it’s about doing the people’s business. That doesn’t mean they might not disagree but both are reasonable enough to work it out and not let it spill over in the public. I know there is no one more qualified to replace Judge Thibodeaux.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Joe Boudeaux was telling me bout his family and how dysfunctional some of dem are. He says his brudder, Otis, had been on a three day drunk and was staggering home from da liquor store wit a pint of whiskey in his back pocket dat he had bought wit his last penny. Stepping up on da curb Otis slipped and fell hard him on his backside. Struggling to his feets he felt something wet running down his leg him. He was overheard saying, “Please God, let it be blood.”*****Joe tole me his wife’s brudder TeeRay is sorry him. I axe, “Wat you mean hanh?”

Well, TeeRay him went to see Dr. Gaspard and tole him he wasn’t able to do all da tings around da house he used to do.

After da exam he said to da doctor., “Tell me in plain English wats wrong wit me. I can take it me.”

Doc Gaspard answer, “In plain English, you jus lazy you.”

“Okay,” said TeeRay, “Now Doc, give it to me in da medical term so I can tell my wife.”

C’EST TOUT I’ve come to the end of the line and I haven’t mentioned that Sen. Wendy Davis will announce Thursday that she is a candidate for governor of Texas. It will be an uphill fight. A personal poll I’ve been taking with women the last couple of weeks has been very positive for Wendy. I got some varied comments but most said it was about the good old boys club making decisions on women’s issues. She might run better than we think. She will definitely help down ballot Democratic candidates and slow down straight party voting. *****I’m looking forward to getting Chris Matthews’ new book, “Tip and the Gipper.” He recalls how Ronald Reagan and Tip O’Neil made politics work for the people. A far cry from today’s bi-partisanship. Chris wrote several books. I have his recent best seller, “Jack Kennedy, Elusive Hero.” Matthews is the host of MSNBC’S “Hardball” at 6 p.m. weekdays. He’s one of the most knowledgeable on TV today. *****My time is up. Please shop our family of advertisers.

John Dubose announces candidacy for County Judge Today I, John Dubose, announce my candidacy for the position of Orange County Judge. This decision has been carefully considered. I have over 20 years of public service starting as a councilman for Bridge City, then Mayor, and for twelve years I served as Commissioner for Orange County Pct. 3. During that service as commissioner, I served as Judge Pro Tem for ten of those years.

My education has been through Lamar University and McNeese State University. I

received my Bachelor’s Degree in Management from Lamar University in May 1970. In May of 1974, John Dubose I earned a Masters of Business Administration Degree from McNeese State University. I am a Texas Certified Public Accountant. I have always considered myself to be financially conservative with a strong dose of fairness

to both county employees and county taxpayers. I will be a candidate on the republican ballot.

Orange County has survived two devastating hurricanes as we all know. The county, like myself and many others had to repair or replace several buildings. While most of these costs were covered by insurance or grant funds, some county funds were necessary to complete these repairs and replace furnishings.

To add to the issues of storm recovery, the economy both

locally and nationally has been less than ideal in the past few years. Some budgeted revenue collections were less than expected. These factors along with others, have put the county in its current financial situation.

Adjustments in expenditures will be necessary to correct this problem. Some of these adjustments may be difficult I do not want anyone to think that these changes will be easy. They won’t, and it will take some time before results are achieved.

However, with my qualifications and experience, I can assist in building a stronger county. For any effort to be successful, the cooperation of all employees and elected officials will be needed. I have seen this group of folks pull together in the past, they can, and I believe they will do it again to put Orange County back on track.

I am 66 years old and in good health. I am married to Joyce K. Dubose. We have raised two children in Bridge City and are now enjoying four

grandchildren. My wife and I are members of Faith United Methodist Church.

I am the candidate with the experience, education and dedication to get this job done.

I enjoyed my time working with the county team during the past twelve years and I look forward to serving with these folks once again.

I appreciate the support of my many friends. Thank you in advance for your support.

Sincerely, John P. Dubose

Joy Dubose-Simonton to run for Justice of the Peace, Precinct 3 I am Joy Dubose-Simonton, and I would like to take this opportunity to announce that I am your republican candidate for the office of Justice of the Peace, Precinct 3.

I have over 16 years experience in the legal field and I am currently practicing as a attorney with 9+ years experience in family law, civil law, criminal law, juvenile law, probate and represent parents and children in various child protective service cases. I am li-

censed by the State of Texas to practice law and also have been admitted to practice in the United Joy Simonton States District Court-Eastern District of Texas. Elected by peers as the secretary/treasurer for the Orange County Bar Association.

I have spent numerous hours

in various courts advocating on behalf of my clients in trials, hearings, and pleas. The legal experience I have gained will bring a new prospective to the Precinct 3 Justice Court, and will allow me to fairly and accurately administer the business of the Court.

Education: Law School: South Texas College of Law, Juris Doctor (J.D.), Dean’s Honor List and member of the Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity. Undergraduate: Bachelor of

Applied Arts and Sciences (BAAS) from Lamar University-1998, Associate of Applied Arts-Legal Assistant (AAS) -1997. Other: Certified Legal Assistant (CLA)-1997.

I was born and raised in Bridge City, Texas and have lived here for 37 years. I graduated from Bridge City High School in 1994. I am married to Robert L. Simonton, Jr. and we have two children, Christian and Adley Simonton . I have two step-children, Mi-

chael Simonton and Hayley Simonton Cook. My husband, Robert, has served on city council in Bridge City for the past 8 years and he has been a resident of Bridge City for 43 years. We are members at St. Paul United Methodist Church in Bridge City.

I have enjoyed working as an attorney for all these years but feel I can give back to the community of this great county by serving as Justice of the Peace for Precinct 3. The Justice of

the Peace Court is the People’s Court and I will do my best to make sure that the best interest of the people are served by applying the laws properly and consistently, and seeing that justice is served. With my legal experience and education I am the most qualified candidate for this position.

I humbly request your vote and appreciate all those who support me, thank you.

Sincerely, Joy Dubose-Simonton

Kay Abbott announces candidacy for District Clerk My name is Kay Abbott. I am a Republican candidate for Orange County District Clerk.

I have been married to my husband, Mike Abbott, for 25 years. Mike is a local attorney/ mediator. We have four children, five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

As a consequence of working 35 plus years in the legal environment, including almost five years as intake clerk in the District Clerk’s office, I am the candidate best equipped to recognize, and address, those issues most important to the public, the courts and the attorneys who practice in those courts.

I am currently the legal assistant for Jerry Pennington, attorney at law, and work closely with the District and County Court at Law courts, as well as attorneys and the public.

My goal as District Clerk is to coordinate with the judges, attorneys and the public to es-

tablish a professional environment of integrity and accommodation. And in partnership with Kay Abbott our local judges, I hope to take advantage of current technology to phase in e-filing and to make public records accessible online, making it easier and more efficient for attorneys and the public with a need to access those records. Furthermore, these moves will save scarce taxpayer dollars. I also strongly feel that the deputy clerks should have current, and thorough, training in those areas of services the clerk’s office provides. I will upgrade the District Clerk’s office utilizing everything at my disposal to enhance the quality of service to those with a need to interact with the clerk’s office, to

maximize the abilities of the deputy clerks, and to minimize the expense to the taxpayer. I am a passionate and optimistic person with a commitment to service.

In addition to other duties, the office of the District Clerk provides support for the district courts and in Orange County, to the County Courts at Law in domestic cases. The Clerk is custodian of all court pleadings and papers that are part of any cause of action, civil, family or criminal, in those courts served by the Clerk. The District Clerk indexes and secures all court records, collects filing fees, and handles funds held in litigation and money awarded to minors.

The District Clerk’s office is also responsible for summoning the Grand Jurors and the Petit Jurors.

I would appreciate your support and your vote in the Republican Primary on March 4.

Vickie Edgerly annouces for re-election as OC District Clerk Orange County District Clerk Vickie Edgerly, a veteran of nearly 26 years in the clerk’s office, announced today that she will be seeking re-election as a candidate in the March 2014 Republican primary.

“Serving the people of Orange County has been a tremendous honor,” Edgerly said.

“I ask for your support so we can continue with the vision and efficiency that has enabled us to roll out and execute fresh ideas keeping us among the top in the state.”

Working her way up through the ranks under two district clerks, Mrs. Edgerly, 52, was first elected in 1998; she has worked continually to uphold the oath of office to the highest of standards. “Work ethics have always been very important to me,” Edgerly said. “I will continue to retain the efficient, courteous and helpful attitude that has been a hallmark of the district clerk’s office and at the same time constantly look for ways to improve.” “I have 11 outstanding, efficient, responsible

employees who work for me and are more than willing to do the best job possible.”

A lifelong Vickie Edgerly resident of Orange County, Mrs. Edgerly is a 1979 graduate of West Orange Stark and attended Lamar, Orange. She is the daughter of Hazen and Connie Kenney and is married to Alvin Edgerly. She and her husband have two children and two grandchildren. Vickie and Alvin are active members of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, Orange.

Her professional affiliations include the Texas County and District Clerk’s Association where she has served on the Legislative committee for 15 years, The Texas District Court Alliance and service on the Mid-management Advisory board for Lamar, Orange.

awesome responsibilities they have entrusted me with,” she said. “I have worked hard to serve the county and I believe my record as well as my qualifications and experience speak to my strong values for the people I represent.

Peggy’s on the Bayou #2 open for business Staff Report

For The Record

Breast Cancer survivor

The Bridge City Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting welcoming Peggy’s on the Bayou #2 at their September Monthly Networking Coffee hosted by Peggy’s on the Bayou.

Peggy’s has been a long time member of the chamber, participating in many events including the “Taste of the Bayou” where attendees get a chance to taste the great local foods of the area.

The chamber is proud of the dedication and resilience shown by this hardworking couple.

It’s been five years since Hurricane Ike hit Bridge City and Peggy’s on the Bayou has opened a second location at Norton RV Park, 18017 Highway 62 South in Orange, Texas.

Peggy and Richard Albair came back to an overwhelmingly empty building sitting right on the bayou at 2682 Roundbunch Road. Customers and Coast Guard members steadily inquired when they would be back in business until finally they re-opened in a portable building on wheels, like a chuck wagon of days past, on Feb. 12, 2009. Renaming the business “Peggy’s on the Bayou,” before long, they were once again delivering dinners from their same location on the bayou.

Peggy’s on the Bayou originated as Bridge City Seafood -The Crab House in a portable building in 1986 where they mainly sold live and clean crabs to restaurants and other customers.

Support from the people of Bridge City and the surrounding community encouraged the business to expand into a seafood market while also providing docks for the public and crabbers.

They also offered a place for those who would like to sit on the back porch and fish.

In October 2007, they added the “Old Salt Poboy Shop” deli where they offered takeout orders for area plants, businesses and the public.

Peggy’s on the Bayou #2 is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. The phone number is 409-882-0300. Hours and menu information can be found at www.peggysonthebayou.com for both locations.

state area and has more than 600 industrial customers.

She has five retail outlets located from Baton Rouge to Houston and four shoemobiles to service the Petro Chemical and related industries. For the last three years, the company has been honored with the opportunity to be the sole provider of safety shoes and clothing for the new Exxon Mobile International Facility being built in Houston. When finished the facility will employ about 11,000 employees, according to Meyers.

The shoemobiles are like traveling stores and carry up to 1,100 pairs of safety shoes. The units travel to various sites and can custom fit on the spot. The company is nearing completion with an opening date of Nov. 1 of a new Red Wing Store which will be located in Houston.

It will be a state of the art retail store and one of the “most beautiful” in the U.S. , she said.

Meyers has developed business relations with off-shore oil companies and furnishes products all over the world.

Meyers contributes each year to the Stehlin Foundation for Cancer Research.

“This is a great research group,” she said.

The group has a program where they work with nude mice which are the only animals that can grow human cancer. Therefore, they can treat an individual’s cancer growing in the mice and zero in on the proper treatment for the patient.

“I always say I buy mice food,” she added. “If I know just one person is saved, all of this is worth it.”

On a trip 12 years ago to Las Vegas and Denver, Meyers developed a condition known as lymphedema in her left arm. The incurable condition allows fluid to collect in her arm. Therefore, she was forced to wear an elastic sleeve or a heavy elastic bandage.

For a while she had a support group of lymphedema sufferers in the area. She also attended other support groups in other areas. In addition, she is a member of the National Lymphedema Association.

For more than 24 years she had been cancer free and a survivor even though at one time, she only had a 25 percent chance of survival.

“But, you can’t let fear rule your life,” Meyers said.

She also looks back on her illness and values each day. She also takes every opportunity to reach out to others who have cancer by even approaching strangers in public places when she thinks she may be able to offer some sort of comfort.

“There are times when I come in from trips and on my answering machine will be a meek little voice that says,’” Elaine, you don’t know me, but I need to speak to you,’” she said. “I know at that moment that it is someone who needs encouragement and is going through the same thing that I did.”

Meyers said she prays every night and is thankful for God letting her have another day.

“I also pray that He will give me the opportunity to be a great help to other sufferers,” she said.

Meyers said she has never been bitter about her cancer.

“You get tired of all the tests you go through, but these are just minor things,” she said. “God has given me my life and I have been able to see three grandchildren born. He has blessed me with good businesses and excellent employees. I just don’t think He is through with me yet.”

~ Nancy’s Kitchen ~ Nancy McWhorter For The Record

Since I will be writing for the Record again, it seems only proper to tell you about my husband Leland (“Mac”) Connally McWhorter. Following the destruction of “Hurricane Ike,” we downsized and relocated in Minden Louisiana. He passed away September 1, 2012. May 23. 20013 he would have celebrated his 90th birthday. In his final days, Mac was in declining health but was happy and pleased in our lovely patio home.

Many in Bridge City, Texas remember he was tall (6’5”). When people would comment on his height, he would often answer them, “I’m not tall; I’m only 5 foot, 17 inches.” That sense of humor and wit was the first thing that attracted me to him; that never changed.

When we served on the board at the Private Port Arthur Retirement Home, each July 4th the board would sale barbecue dinners and have other attractions to raise money for the home. To draw attention to the event, he would dress in an Uncle Sam costume and stand in front of the building, near the street, luring potential customers. When we married he only weighed 158 lbs. but over time gradually gained 75 lbs. He was still a tall, slender “drink of water.” This should give you an idea of what he looked like.

To his grandchildren and greats, he was known as “Big Mac” except for two who called him “Boo.” He loved his family and promptly accepted and loved mine as his own.

Shortly after we married in April, 1984, I asked him to grow a beard and to make me happy he did. He liked to tell people he had to grow a beard to look older so people would quit thinking I was his mother.

One of his favorite activities was working in the yard. We had a large yard and

he took pride in keeping it immaculate. He and a neighbor had an ongoing competition of who had the most attractive lawn.

He had a boat and enjoyed fishing. Each October our son-in-law came to Bridge City and they would spend several days “fishing.” They never brought home any fish and always told me they either gave them away or released them back into the water. I called them “boat riding.”

Mac was highly intelligent and if I needed to know how to spell a word, rather than look it up, I could ask him and he usually knew the answer. I was never very good in geography or with maps but he could always tell me where places were. If we were traveling, he soon learned to never ask me to help him follow the map.

Mac was a faithful Christian man and stayed busy in all church activities. He taught Sunday school, helped with VBS, served on several committees, had a beautiful base singing voice and sang in both the sanctuary and senior choirs. If the church doors were open, he was there.

When it came to preparing food for Mac, he never complained about anything I cooked but he did love sweets…especially if they contained pecans or Eagle Brand.

His favorite dessert was Praline Pecan Pie. I always tried to keep some sort of dessert available for him and any company that might drop in for a visit.

Here is a KEEPER recipe Mac liked because it contained both Eagle Brand and Pecans.

PECAN TOFFEE BARS BASE: 1 (18.25 oz.) pkg. Pillsbury Moist Supreme Yellow Cake Mix ½ cup butter or margarine, softened 1 egg

FILLING: 1 (14 oz.) can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 egg ¾ cup Heath Toffee Bits 1 cup chopped pecans 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13 X 9 inch pan. In large bowl, combine cake mix, butter and 1 egg; mix well with pastry blender or fork. Press mixture in bottom of greased pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 7 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, in medium bowl, combine Eagle Brand, vanilla and 1 egg; mix well. Stir in toffee bits and pecans.

3. Remove pan from oven. Pour filling evenly over warn base. Return to oven; bake an additional 22 to 30 minutes or until filling is set. Cool 1 hour or until completely cooled. Cut into bars. Store in refrigerator. Yields 36 bars.

Mac was a very private person and respectful of my privacy. For example, he would never open my mail, would not look in my purse or enter a closed door without knocking and asking for permission to enter. He left this life the same way, privately and quietly. Mac was my best friend, my soul mate, and the love of my life. Although I am gradually adjusting, I will miss him until that day I will join him in the “sky.”

Come and learn about making jams and jellies at the Backyard Basics class at 9 a.m. on Saturday Oct. 5. at the Orange County Convention and Expo Center located at 11475 FM 1442.

Jelly, jam, preserves, conserves, and marmalades are all fruit products that are jellied or thickened. Most are preserved by sugar.

To be successful you must have the proper ratio of fruit, pectin, acid and sugar. Pectin is what causes the fruit to gel.

Some types of fruit have enough and oth-

er require commercial pectin to be added.

The highest quality pectin is in just ripe fruit. Pectin from under ripe or over ripe fruit will not form a gel.

Acid is needed for gel formation and for flavor. The acid content is higher in under ripe fruit. Lemon juice or citric acid can be added if needed.

Sugar is important and must be in the proper proportion with pectin and acid to make a good gel. Sugar is the preservative and prevents microorganism growth.

Granulated sugar is what is usually used.

Brown sugar, sorghum and molasses are not recommended because it overpowers the fruit flavor. Jellies are made by cooking fruit juice with sugar.

A good jelly will be clear or translucent, and will not have sediment, pulp, or crystals. When jelly is cut with a spoon it should keep the angle of the cut and the jelly should have a fresh fruity taste that is not too tart and not too sweet.

Jams are made by cooking crushed or chopped fruits with sugar. They are thick, sweet spreads that will hold their shape.

Conserves will have a consistency like jam but are made by combining fruits and can also contain nuts, raisins, or coconut.

So there is more room for being artistic when making a conserve.

Rain shouldn’t be a game changer Colburn-Fishing Capt. DiCkie Colburn For the reCorD

Ironically enough, relief came in the form of a driving rain that hammered away at our Frogg Toggs and kept the automatic bilge pump running like someone had hit the manual switch.

As miserable as that scenario may sound to anyone less passionate about fishing, it was far better than fighting the swarms of mosquitoes that greeted us at daylight.

Left to kill only those that had managed to find any opening in our rain jackets, we were wetter, but confident that we would survive the winged vampires.

At first light it was difficult to even see the Roseau lined bank only a short cast away for the hordes of mosquitoes looking for any open patch of skin on our face or hands!

Leaving, however, was not an option as long as we had enough strength to cast.

The redfish were driving shrimp around a shallow point, not unlike cowboys on a cattle drive, and every cast in their direction with a She Dog or spinner bait was instantly assaulted.

Even the merciful thunderstorm failed to slow the greedy predator’s assault.

The only real surprise for me was that the See ColbuRn Page 4b

H JASPER over BRIDGE CITY The Bulldogs had two weeks (actually three with the rainout) to prepare for this game against the Cardinals, who really need to regroup after that Buna loss last week. Hopefully catching Jasper at home will give the Redbirds a better chance of pulling off the upset.

Mighty Mustangs host HJ for homecoming The battle of the sophomore quarterbacks could be the title for Friday night’s game which featured WO-S’s Dillon Sterling-Cole against HamshireFannett’s Kendrick King. But in all games, one has to win and one has to lose and the Mustangs were able to follow their leader and come out on top with a 36-10 romping over the Longhorns.

“Offensively, we did a pretty good job, other than penalties,” Head Coach Cornel Thompson said. “We had too many with 12 to their one.

This was parallel to the PN-G

game because we just weren’t ready to play.

We prepared them physically but they weren’t ready mentally. However, the good thing is, we are 1-0 in district.”

Sterling-Cole was the first to hit the end zone on a seven yard run after moving the ball with ease down the field. On the very next possession, he was able to hit pay dirt again

on a 28-yard scamper. Neither the extra point nor the two point conversion was good so WO-S led at the end of the first 12-0.

King proved to be more than the defense could handle on the next series as he led his Longhorns right down to the one yard line before giving running back Jordan Sam the honors of moving it across the goal line.

“They were able to gain inside defensively,” Thompson said. “We are still looking for the top eleven for the defensive side of the ball.”

Running back John Scott was able to put more points on the board with just over five minutes in the half when he shot into the end zone from nine yards out. The PAT was good and the Mustangs were up, 19-7. On the Longhorns next possession, the WO-S defense held and forced HF to a field goal. The very next Mustang offensive play, SterlingCole hit receiver Will Johnson on a 51 yard pass for a score and WO-S led at the half, 2610.

LC-M Bears open district with win, BC and OF fall Mark Dunn For The Record

It was a good night to be a Little Cypress-Mauriceville Bear, not so good as a Bridge City Cardinal or Orangefield Bobcat. In district openers last Friday LC-M defeated Livingston, 28-21. Bridge City opened at home and dropped game one to the Buna Cougars, 36-7.

Orangefield was mauled by Silsbee, 52-14.

Little Cypress-Mauriceville kicked off their Dist. 20-4A campaign on a high note. Bear quarterback Caleb Harley launched an areal attack against the Lions as receiver Dalton Doyle racked up 137 yards and two touchdowns on seven receptions. LCM runningback Jalen Griffin rambled for 153 yards and a touchdown on 29 carries.

LCM place kicker Trent Manuel boosted the Bears with two field goals. His first a 37-yarder early in the second quarter. Manuel struck again for a 36 yard field goal mid way through the third quarter. He

was perfect all night on PATs. With the score tied at 21-21 late in the fourth quarter LCM surprised Livingston as Harley connected with Sonnier for a lateral pass and Sonnier passed it to Doyle 45 yards down field to the five yard line.

Two plays later Harley connected with Doyle in the end zone for the game winning touchdown. Manuel’s PAT made the final score 28-21.

The LCM offense collected 232 yards rushing, 181 yards in the air and 18 first downs.

On Friday LCM goes on the road to take on district rival the Port Neches-Groves Indians. PNG is coming off of a 45-0 victory over Lumberton.

Meanwhile the Bridge City Cardinals and Orangefield Bobcats were taking a licking in their respect Dist 21-3A openers. The West OrangeStark Mustangs on the other hand chalked district win No. 1 with a 36-10 victory over Hamshire-Fannett.

The Record • Week of Wednesday, October 2, 2013

Mustangs homecoming The defense was able to control King and the Longhorns in the second half, holding them scoreless even though they were in the red zone three times.

WO-S upped the score to 29-10 when kicker Rodickson Cano hit a 25-yard field goal in the third quarter and Deionte Thompson finished off the scoring when he caught a 31 yard Sterling-Cole pass in the fourth quarter. Knocking on the door, just a few yards out of the end zone, the Mustangs knelt the ball to finish the game.

Next up for the Mustangs are the much improved Hardin Jefferson Hawks. The Hawks are Dillon Sterling-Cole was the man of the hour when he led the Mustangs to the big win over the Longhorns. He finished the night with 70 yards on the ground and completed 9 of 15 passes to six different receivers for 151 yards.

3-1 with wins over Anahuac (31-12), Splendora (25-14) and Tarkington (28-6). Their only loss, to East Chambers (10-7) was on September 20 so they have had two weeks to prepare for WOS. “I’m concerned about this week because there is so much going on with the Homecoming activities,” Thompson said. “We just have to prepare daily because it will be a dog fight for us to be 2-0.”

According to Thompson, the Hawks run an offense that the Mustangs haven’t seen since the Vidor scrimmage. The new HJ head coach, Dwayne Dubois, was once the Vidor offensive coordinator and runs the same offense that Vidor runs, that is usually difficult for the Mustangs to deal with.

There’s a reason we sat on Seahawks side at Reliant Stadium KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

Sunday definitely was not the first time I’ve ever gone to a National Football League game in Houston. There have been dozens of occasions over the years.

However, most of those trips down Interstate 10 were to cover the Oilers in the old Houston Astrodome as a member of the sports media.

Sunday’s journey to Houston was as a football fan. And the game was to be played at Reliant Stadium which is adjacent to the now-unoccupied Astrodome.

And our tickets were right in the heart of the visiting Seattle Seahawks’ side of the complex way up on the third tier of the gorgeous stadium.

Having two tickets to the Houston Texans-Seattle Seahawks game was a story in itself. Wife Susan decided to get a pedicure after teaching school at Orangefield High Wednesday and sat next to Debbie Thomas, mother of Seattle Seahawks two-time All-Pro safety Earl Thomas.

After visiting for a while, Debbie texted Earl and told him the nice things Susan said about him when she taught him math several years ago at West Orange-Stark High School. Earl texted back and said “Would she like to see him play in Houston Sunday?”

That’s all it took for one of Earl’s biggest fans to be on Cloud Nine for the rest of the week.

Earl said he would send the tickets home with his younger brother Seth, who was visiting his brother in Seattle at the time and flying back to Texas for the game.

As a member of the media I never had to worry about traffic jams two miles long going into the stadium or where to park my car or needing a ticket to get in. I had press credentials that covered those items and got to the stadium long before traffic became a problem.

Late Sunday morning we finally turned into the Reliant Parking lot only to be told by an attendant who probably told the same thing to a hundred fans before us that we had to have a pre-paid parking pass that was obtainable on the old reliable Internet.

We asked where we were supposed to park our car and he said that we would have to find an independent entrepreneur somewhere in the vicinity of the stadium selling parking places.

After finding one of these characters, we gave him the required ten bucks and then Susan and I hiked more than a mile back to Reli-

ant Stadium and arrived after the kickoff. And with a 60 per cent chance of showers, we stayed dry for 40 percent of the long walk.

It wasn’t too long after we settled in our seats that Earl made a diving interception of a deflected Matt Schaub pass. When he was a Mustang in high school, Thomas played wide receiver on offense in addition to being a defensive standout.

And all those reps on offense certainly paid off as he’s tied for the team lead in Seahawks’ interceptions with two in four games.

But during the first half we could see the long faces on most of the fans in our section of Reliant Stadium who had driven to Houston to see either Earl, defensive lineman Red Bryant from Jasper, and rookies former Beaumont West Brook star running back Christine Michael or ex-Beaumont Ozen linebacker Willie Jefferson.

The Houston Texans dominated the first half by playing nearly flawless football and leading 20-3 at the intermission.

Seahawks’ head coach Pete Carroll, whose forte is to remain positive and calm regardless of the situation, during halftime reiterated the fact the Seahawks scout team ran every play the Texans use and to just keep playing tough in the second half.

Those words of wisdom must have hit home for Earl and Bryant and the rest of the NFL’s No. 1 defense because in the second half plus the overtime period the Texans had the football eight times, punted six times and turned it over twice.

Despite the Texans inability to score in the second half, their defense allowed only one touchdown. Seattle score the remainder of its 23 points on three Steven Hauschka field goals and the interception return by Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman with 2:40 that tied the game at 20-all.

Mistakes by the Texans led to their secondhalf demise, starting with back-up running back Ben Tate’s fumble late in the third period that resulted in a 39-yard field Hauschka field goal, reducing the deficit to 20-6. Then came the 98-yard touchdown drive narrowing the margin to 20-13 with 7:43 left.

However, before Sherman’s heroics, many fans in the Seahawks’ rooting section began heading for the exits after Texan cornerback Johnathan Joseph’s interception of a Russell Wilson pass with less than five minutes left.

But Sherman’s interception got them back in a hurry.

Instead of pounding the ground game with Arian Foster, Head Coach Gary Kubiak called for a pass to tight end Owen Daniels on a thirdand-four that floated right to Sherman, who

raced 58 yards for the tying score. It was Schaub’s third pick-six in as many games.

The Seahawks’ winning field goal came as a result of two more Texans gaffes in the overtime period. On their second drive of the extra period, the Texans had to punt and Shane Lechler got off a booming 50-yard kick, to Seattle’s 7. But Eddie Pleasant was called for running out of bounds and coming back in, a fiveyard penalty.

Made to punt again, Lechler launched a 61yard boot that Seattle’s Golden Tate returned to the Seattle 31.

The Texans’ final boo-boo was a stupid play by cornerback Kareem Jackson, who instead of just making a tackle on Seattle receiver Doug Baldwin, body-slammed him, drawing a 15yard penalty and giving the Seahawks a first down at the Texans’ 36.

Four plays later Hauschka drilled the 46yard field goal and the 23-20 win as the Seahawks got out of the Lone Star state with a perfect 4-0 record.

It was almost as if the Texans won the battle but lost the war as they penetrated the Seahawks defense for 476 total yards, taking over as the NFL’s top defense and dropping Seattle to sixth. Houston ran 30 more plays than Seattle while the Texans’ defense limited the Seahawks to 270 total yards.

Thomas was proud of the way his team hung in there and made some good things happen.

He told the Southeast Texas media members, “We showed grit and a never-give-up attitude,” the Orange native revealed. “We knew if we could get back in it somehow we would win the game.”

KWICKIES…A few hours after his USC

team was pummeled 62-41 by Arizona State Saturday night, Head Coach Lane Kiffin was fired as his team was deplaning at the Trojans’ private air terminal. Kiffin is the son of Dallas Cowboys’ defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin.

The Lamar Cardinals won their first game on the road in quite a while Saturday night when they downed Grambling 27-16 after trailing 16-0 early. The Big Red coaching staff figured things out quickly and the Cards went on to score 27 unanswered points and improved their record to 3-2. However, on the other side of the Sabine River, my McNeese State Cowboys were overwhelmed 41-6 by undefeated Northern Iowa and suffered their first setback of the season.

Last weekend’s high school football scores that may be of interest: Humble Summer Creek 63, Crosby 49; Kingwood Park 20, Barbers Hill 19; Fairfield 44, Navasota 24; Whitehouse 63, Carthage 39; Cameron Yoe 57, Salado 28; Dayton 26, C.E. King 23;Cleveland 21, Tarkington 0; A&M Consolidated 42, Lufkin 41; Coldspring 34, Shepherd 16; Liberty 48, Splendora 0; Madisonville 41, Diboll 12;Corrigan-Camden 54, Crockett 17.

JUST BETWEEN US. Not to be outdone by the Houston Texans, the Dallas Cowboys also demonstrated how to blow a first-half lead in the waning minutes of an NFL football game.

The Cowboys led 21-13 at halftime over San Diego and then watched the Chargers score 17 points in the second half and overtake the Pokes 30-21. Chargers’ quarterback Philip Rivers ripped the Dallas defense for 401 yards, connecting on 35-of-42 passes. The Cowboys, who were 8-8 last season, dropped to 2-2 for 2013.

OF Athletic Department creating Wall of Honor The Orangefield Athletic Department is developing a “Wall of Honor” for those athletes who have either been named All-State or have gone on to play at the next level.

Much of the Orangefield Bobcat memorabilia was lost in a fire in the early 1990’s. An effort is being made to rebuild the collection. The athletic department is requesting an 8x10 photo and the year of recognition. Donations to the “Wall of Honor” may be dropped off at the field house between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. The boy athlete photos will be hung in the field house and the girls pictures will be hung in the new gym.

The Orangefield Athletic Department is asking for the community’s help to rebuild this “Wall of Honor” that will celebrate the accomplishments of their athletes, past and present. For any questions, please call the field house at 735-4504 or email jsmalley@esc5.net.

The silver lining to a week of rain is that the shrimp that were still residing in the shallow marshes and backwater will be in a hurry to find more comfortable abodes as well and that means an exodus into the bayous and eventually the open lake.

Archery season opens up, drought concerns top list OUTDOORS WEEKLY CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE For The Record

Texas white tail deer hunters got their first opportunity to chase that buck they have been dreaming of since last season ended as the 2013-14 season got underway this past Saturday. The archery only season should be a good bench mark as to how much the state-wide 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. The 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. The 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 supply of water and food has the potential to be a bona fide hot spot.

For many archery hunters this Saturday’s opener was a culmination of many weeks 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. The 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 Precision 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 of 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. That 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.

LU geology student receives SIPES Foundation Earth Science Scholarship Staff Report

For The Record

Orange County Owned

The SIPES Foundation, administering the scientific, educational and charitable programs of the Society of Independent Professional Earth Scientists, recently announced the selection of 10 outstanding earth science students for scholarship awards.

Christine Gartner Lee, a senior geology major from Mauriceville, is one of only two undergraduates to receive this prestigious award. Honored students were given a $2,500 award.

“Christine is the first student in our department to receive the prestigious SIPES Scholarship,” said Jim Jordan, professor and chair of the Department of Earth and Science Sciences. “She deserves this award because of her excellent academic record, not only in grades, but also because of her contributions to the discipline through her leadership as president of the LU Geological Society. Her enthusiasm for the geosciences is contagious and she will be missed.”

Applications were accepted from currently-enrolled upper-division or graduate stu-

dents who are U.S. Citizens studying any field of earth science or engineering, and who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher.

Since its establishment in 1981, the SIPES Foundation has awarded scholarships to 200 promising earth science students. Funding for the 2013 awards was made possible through generous donations from SIPES members.

The SIPES Foundation also conducts and films educational seminars, contributes funding to earth science publications and continuing education programs, and also maintains an extensive library of earth science films.

The Society of Independent Professional Earth Scientists is a national organization of more than 1,300 self-employed geologists, geophysicists and engineers engaged primarily in domestic energy exploration and development.

Applications for the SIPES Foundation Earth Science Scholarships are available online annually after March 1.

Kelley and Simmons inducted into LU College of Business Hall of Fame Staff Report

For The Record

Lamar University’s College of Business recently inducted two new members into its Hall of Fame. Texas entrepreneurial banker Terry Kelley and oil and gas entrepreneur Bart Simmons joined the ranks of honored LU business graduates.

“The College of Business is delighted to honor Terry Kelley and Bart Simmons by inducting them into the College of Business Hall of Fame,” said LU business dean Enrique “Henry” Venta. “The hall of fame honors alumni from the college who have made significant achievements in their careers and been an integral part of the college.”

The purpose of the Hall of Fame is to honor outstanding alumni and to provide role models for current students, Venta said. “Several times a month students will ask me as I walk through the lobby at Galloway about our Hall of Fame inductees and what they have accomplished,” Venta said.

Terry Kelley Terry Kelley graduated from Lamar University in 1965 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. A career banker whose experience in Texas banking spans more than 40 years, Kelley began his career at The American National Bank in Beaumont.

In the mid 1970s, Kelley was recruited to Dallas where he served as CEO of several Dallas area banks including Texas Commerce Bank, Irving, Preston State Bank, and Dallas Bancshares—all predecessors to JP Morgan Chase. As an entrepreneurial banker, Kelley’s experience ranged from being an owner of small banks to the CEO of large banks.

As the Texas banking industry collapsed in the late 1980s, Kelley co-founded Team Bank.

It became a statewide organization and the largest bank headquartered in Texas managed by Texans. In 1993, Team Bank merged with Bank One where Kelley served as chairman and CEO of a multi-state region.

Throughout his career, Kelley was an industry leader and provided community leadership for many organizations.

He is former chairman and CEO for The National Center for Educational Accountability, as well as past chairman of the board of Texas Health Resources. He is a member and past president of The Salesmanship Club of Dallas, a member of the Board of Trustees for the Baylor Oral Health Foundation and a former trustee of The Texas Methodist Foundation. He is also a former board member of Dallas Citizens Council, Highland Park Educational Foundation and The Texas Banker’s Association.

Kelley is a long time member of Highland Park United Methodist Church where he has served as chairman of the board. He and his wife, Sally, have three grown children and nine grandchildren.

Terry Kelley

Bart Simmons The deregulation of natural gas in the 1980s created many entrepreneurial opportunities in this sector of the oil and gas industry. Armed with a Bachelor in Business Administration (1978) and a Masters of Business Administration (1979) degree from Lamar University, along with work experience at Texaco Inc. and Delhi Gas Pipeline Co., Simmons created a natural gas marketing company in 1985.

This company, owned by Ross Perot and organized by Simmons, eventually became Bridge Gas Marketing Co. Simmons made Bridge into one of the premier natural gas marketing companies during the 1980s. In 1992, he resigned as president to pursue his

dream of starting and owning a company.

Bart Simmons graduated Lamar magna cum laude while lettering three years in football. He served as president of the Student Government Association and was a member of the highly regarded College of Business sponsored Students for Free Enterprise.

Today, his privately held company, Tristar, operates oil and gas production wells, provides well head compression services, natural gas marketing services and electricity service to more than 20,000 residential and commercial customers. In 2010, the Tristar Companies sold their North Dakota Bakken Field production and lease rights to a publicly traded Canadian company. Today, the Tristar Companies have operations in three states and annual sales of more than $120 million a year. Texas Power Co., the Simray Energy Co., Tristar Compression Co., Mid-States Energy Co., and Tristar Producer Services Co. are all part of the Tristar family of companies.

Simmons is a director and co-owner with his wife, Martye, who graduated from Lamar in 1978, of BESS Investments LP. The privately held investment company formed in 2003 and owns and operates ranching operations in Texas, real estate properties in Dallas, and other energy and agricultural portfolio investments.

Simmons is a member of the Texas and Southwest Cattle Ranchers Association. He has served on the Board of Directors of the North Texas Oil and Gas Association and is a member of the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association. In addition, he served as the

chairperson of the board of stewards of Lovers Lane United Methodist Church and was the recipient of the church’s Heritage Award in 2010. Simmons served on the Board of Directors of the Wesley Rankin Center. He has maintained an active interest in Lamar University and currently serves on the Board of Advisors of the College of Business and on the Lamar University Foundation Board.

The couple has been generous to the university, Venta said. “They donated funds to create the Vernon Glass Field of Champions Practice Field and the John Payton Academic Success Center,” Venta said.

“They created the Patricia and George Sculley Scholarship in Business and the Martye and Bart Simmons Endowment in Business.” In 2008, Lamar University honored Bart Simmons with the Distinguished Alumnus Award. The Simmons’ are members of the prestigious Lamar University Spindletop Society.

With their induction into the Hall of Fame, Kelley and Simmons join previous honorees James Crump, retired partner PriceWaterhouse Coopers; Bill Childs, entrepreneur and retired founder and CEO of Texas Industrial Maintenance Inc., the late Robert Swerdlow, longtime business educator and associate dean of business at Lamar University; Jerry Reese, retired founder and president of BoMac Contractors Ltd.; Elvis Mason, retired banking and financial executive; the late C.W. Conn Jr., founder and majority owner of Conn’s Appliances Inc,; and Bette Stead, longtime community activist, business educator and professor of marketing at the University of Houston.
