OC landfill to offer recycling option

Nicole Gibbs

For The Record

In May, Pct. 1 Commissioner, David Dubose, approached the Orange County Commissioners’ with the idea of expanding the county’s recycling efforts at the county landfill

(on FM 1442). In Monday’s court meeting, Pct. 1 Commissioner Dubose informed the court that bids from five vendors were available for the Court to choose from. At Dubose’s recommendation, the county signed a two year contract with Waste Man-

agement, the county’s current solid waste collection provider that will offer four additional eight yard dumpsters for Orange County residents to recycle paper, aluminum cans, plastic and cardboard. Orange County will pay $512 a month for the recycling

program and Waste Management will empty the recycling dumpsters twice a week. The County will be able to revert back to the current contract should the recycling program not be as successful as they hope it will be. “I think we owe the citi-

zens of Orange County an opportunity to recycle,” Pct. 1 Commissioner Dubose said. The County has been reDUBOSE quired to close the dump early because the dumpsters were filling up rather quickly. These recycling dumpsters will offer more space in the trash dumpsters if Orange County residents will use the recycling option. Mike Wilson with Waste Management said that compactors could be rented by the

county for $250, would hold more trash and require fewer pick-ups. The Commissioners agreed to see how the first few weeks with the regular trash dumpsters and new recycling dumpsters worked before renting the compactors. It is still unclear if more personnel would be required at the landfill. The recycling dumpsters will be available for use Wednesday. Pct. 1 Commissioner Dubose has offered to continue COUNTY BUSINESS PAGE 2A

Editor’s note: The following story was written by Wilson “King” Dunn, father of Pct. 2 Justice of the Peace Derry Dunn. Judge Dunn asked his father to start writing down his memories so future generations may know the rich history of this area. Wilson “King” Dunn was born (and raised) in Mauriceville in 1918. He graduated from Mauriceville High School in 1935. He was married for Eloide Linscomb Dunn for 72 years and he retired from the Postal Service after serving as Mauriceville Postmaster for 35 years. He was active in the Mauriceville Community for all of his adult life - Mauriceville School Board, Orange County Drainage District, Lions Club and Volunteer Firefighter. King is the father to six children and has numerous grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. Back in the early 1930s, the depression was still in effect and there was no money or jobs.

turning to dairying to eke out a living because milk was in demand. The renewed interest in dairying also created a demand for high producing cows, so soon they started bringing them in truckloads. They were kept in a large corral near Beaumont so that the farmers could select and bid on the cows they liked. That’s when problems arose. Texas had ticks, lots of ticks, so many that they could almost cover a cows body. The local cows had grown up with ticks and even if the sapped their strength, they could tolerate it and survive. Not so with the newly arrived cows. These were fever ticks they were exposed to and they soon came down with tick fever, which was often fatal to high priced milkers. Our government realized the seriousness of fever ticks and launched an investigation and research on how to eradicate them. After a long period, they decided every cow, horse and dog were dipped every DRIPPING VATS PAGE 3A

Breast Cancer Awareness month has descended on our nation, nut for one Bridge City woman, that awareness is an on going, permanent part of her life and has been since March. Wilma Horner, broker and owner of Platinum ReMax in Bridge City, was diagnosed with a malignant and aggressive form of breast cancer after a standard wellness exam found a small lump. Her response? “This is just another obstacle,” Horner explains. “What are we going to do about it? My only other thoughts were ones of concern for my family and agents.” What she and her doctors decided would be the best treatment was a double mastectomy and chemotherapy. The chemo is beginning to take a harder toll on her than some of the previous stages of treatment. Wilma, however, refuses to let it take her out of her own life. “She tries to be Superwoman,” said Cryste Horner, Wilma’s former daughter-in-law, who is still very close to her. Cryste came in June to pitch in and help at the ReMax office as a receptionist. “We all try to pitch in and help out. Even I have shown a few homes.” Cryste, who is working toward her license is one of nine people, the others being independent agents that are in the office location. They are her family away from home. Another agent, Darla Bertrand, has taken on the organizing of a benefit, the funds of which, will help to off-set the expenses for Wilma’s medical care that are not covered by insurance. “My husband planned to retire in August after 38 years on the job,” Wilma said. “That’s why I decided I had better get all my checkups out of the way. It puts a new perspective on retiring.” James Horner did not retire, nor does he see it in the near future. It is a part of the issues that plague those who are hit by unexpected devastating health crisis. They have been husband and wife for 38 years as well. What Wilma does not do is complain. Her hair is gone,

her immune system is suppressed and her skin has thinned, food has no appeal to her whatsoever and faHORNER tigue is a constant companion. “The way I look at it, I am not the first and I won’t be the last. Its like my son says, I am rodeo clown, I get knocked down, I dust off, I keep going.” There is a great deal of pride for her from those around her. She was at the peaking career boom when she was diagnosed. She had received awards for her production levels and planned to kick it into even higher gear. As Bertrand puts it, “She doesn’t let go. We are all so proud of her.” For Horner, this is just another part of the process we all refer to as life. “When we knew the hair would go, we told the grand kids,” Wilma said. “I called their parents and they told them in their own way. My granddaughter wanted to know about my eyelashes, my two grandsons suggested maybe getting a mohawk.” Chuckles are had over this FIGHTING CANCER PAGE 2A

and she tells how her son and grandson sent her a photo on the day she went in and had her hair completely removed, in which they had both shaved their heads too. “I said absolutely no wig! I have a few beautiful scarves but have since decided to go natural. I don’t care how the hair comes back in, just that it does. On the other hand, no bad hair days!” Wilma also shares that children are fun, they are curious and just want to know why she has no hair. “Adults can act stupid though,” she confides. Still, there is no doubt, is spite of the positive façade she promotes, the newest chemotherapy drugs are starting to hit hard. FEC (a combination chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer) is the most recent cocktail that is being administered to her. She travels to Houston to get her treatments at M.D.Anderson every three weeks. Wilma will receive four months of the treatment, which will have a progressively dramatic affect

to her physical body with each dose. She finds she is loosing days, but keeps coming into work and pushing forward. The reconstruction of her breasts has had to be put on hold. Done in stages of removal and then types of implants that are used to slowly expand the skin used in the final operation, she had a slight infection recently due to the splitting of her skin around one of the stitched in extenders. “The chemo drugs have thinned my skin,” Wilma said. “One doctor wanted to remove them but I don’t want to go backward.” Infectious risk rise with each dose of FEC as the drug mixture kills off good and bad cells, those that fight infection as well as cancer cells. “The way I look at this, we’ve had many to fight that give us courage to fight and I will be one of those who survives to help others fight.” This is her declaration. Her prognosis is good. She says a mammogram wouldn’t have found the cancer in her case,

Dripping vats and wild horses 14 days for nine months, it would wipe them out. New dipping vats were built, range riders where hired to over see each vat and were trained in how to charge the vats with a solution of creosote so it was effective in killing ticks but not harmful to animals. They were also charged with keeping count of the numbers of cows dipped each dipping day. Animals were marked with red paint after the first dipping and yellow pain after the second and another color after the third and so forth. If you were short an animal or two, you had to spend the next few days to come up with them. The range rider on our Dunn vat was Asa Noguess. My Dad was also hired as a range rider but was assigned to another vat in the county. They could not work their home vat. Dad had lots of cattle at this time. It was the days of wide open range and some of his cows ranged miles from home, so, anticipating the difficult task of getting them all in every 14 days, he gather them up and sold them to Mr. Richardson, who had a large pasture near Kirbyville. There were close to 500 head of cattle and they were sold for $17 per cow and $12 per yearling. Calves were thrown in for nothing. A herd that size would bring a fortune at today’s prices. The sale of the herd included delivery, so Asa, Dewey Bean, carl Manual and I, along with Mr. Richardson, drove them all the way from home to Kirbyville. We followed Highway 62 north, a dirt road at the time, to about Gist, then we turned right and went through the woods to where we were going. On the first night, there was a Captain Baker that had a pasture around Gist. We penned the cows in that pasture. We also left our horses there and we came home. We loaded up three cow dogs in the trailer to bring them home too. We loaded up Mike and Nick, but we could not catch Richard. We left without him. The next morning, Richard made it home on his own. We left him home that second day because his paws were worn and sore. The second night, we penned the cattle in someone’s pasture near Bessamay. It was a long hard drive but we made it three days and didn’t lose an animal. By the time the actual dipping got started in 1936, all the men in our fam-

ily had gotten jobs they wanted to hang on to. Dad was working as a range rider so Dewey Bean and I were the only ones available to take on the gathering and dipping of our remaining herd, which was about 60 head of cattle and 148 horses. We pinned cows on Saturday afternoon and put them all in a catch pasture. On Sunday, we gathered up all the horses and put them in a separate enclosure. As soon as we got through milking on Monday, which was our assigned dipping day, we saddled up and started with the horses. Then came the cows. Dewey and I also agreed to dip the Burton herd, maybe 50 or 60 head, and a small herd of Claybar cattle, maybe 30 head. As you can imagine, every other Monday, or ‘dipping day’ was a long and tiring day for us and at the end of the day, if the count showed we were short an animal or two, it meant another two or three days of hard riding to locate them in order to avoid another penalty. Things didn’t always go as intended on dipping days. Folks within a five mile radius had to bring their stock in and sometimes they would show up at the same time and get their stock mixed up. In an effort to separate them, they would run them through the fences and create all sorts of problems. It would, at times, resemble a three ring circus and provide lots of laughs and excitement. There was never a dull moment on dipping day. At first, the compulsive dipping law of the late 1930s seemed harsh and unfair and many said the desired result could never succeed. Actually, it was a big success and the troublesome fever tick was permanently eradicated and the reward for cattleman, dairymen, farmers and anyone with livestock was peace of mind. Personally, I would say despite the hard work, long days and hard riding, it was an exciting time for a teenager to experience and I am glad I was involved. Everything got off to a smooth start but within a couple of weeks a problem arose which threatened to set it back. The problem was a group of eleven wild horses located in the uninhabited area known as Nips Marsh. This area, I think, was located in both Newton and Jasper counties and was a few miles

From Page 1

east of Gist. Several riders and parties of riders tried for days to pen these horses but to no avail. They even built a catch pen with a wing fence but the wild bunch, led by a black stallion, knew every trail and refused to be corraled. The law said all livestock must be dipped and this little band of horses was a threat to the program. The people heading up the program had a meeting and devised a plan to take a herd of manageable horses to Nips Marsh, spread them out, and riders would attempt to drive the wild horses into the decoy herd. My dad had lots of horses so he was the one they asked for use of his horse herd. Of course, he gave permission and a date was set. I cannot over emphasize the excitement and anticipation on that appointed morning. Trucks and trailers began rolling into the area around our house very early in the day and kept coming and coming. There were range riders from all over southeast Texas as well as volunteers who went along for the ride. When we finally got on our way, there were 52 riders and 70 horses in the herd. We drove them up Bilbo Road and on up past the old Clark place and went north for several miles. I was lost most of the time because I had never been in that area. After two days of hard riding and enduring a hard rain for most of the second day, we brought our herd home having captured a total of four wild ponies. As for the remaining seven, no one would claim ownership for fear of being fined for not dipping all their livestock. They were just loose on the world. Within the week, those seven outlaws disappeared, reportedly with the help of a high powered rifle. As I remember, at the time this event was no big thing and attracted very little publicity. It was just a group of men, tending to their jobs and trying to keep the dipping program on schedule. I’ve thought of this a lot: In today’s world an operation of this importance and magnitude would have drawn all kinds of reporters and television cameras along the trail. And you can imagine the squawk the humane society would carry all the way to Washington, D.C. The world has changed a lot during my lifetime, who’s to say if it’s better or worse.

Orange looks to save money on waterfront construction Mike Louviere For The Record

The Orange City Council and the Economic Development Corporation met in special session to review the revised cost estimates for the proposed Riverfront Park/ Boardwalk/Pavilion project. Jeffery Carbo of Jeffery Carbo and Associates presented the council with construction options to reduce the total cost of the original estimate. “The majority of our cost overrun was along the waterfront,” said Carbo.” We can remove the steel sheet pilings and modify the wetland plantings and eliminate some money.” Carbo made recommendations that included bringing the boardwalk from over the water to the water’s edge. “We can move the boardwalk from being actually over the water to the edge of the water. This would eliminate the need for the steel sheet pilings, still leave the vinyl sheet piling for bank stabilization and have those on the walk looking over the edge look straight into the river,” said Carbo. Other proposals included planting less trees and bushes, bringing in the Front Street sidewalk from the curb to eliminate the possibility of interference with utilities, not installing the cover over the pavilion and eliminating the stamping of the asphalt on Division Street. The original estimate of $11,100,000 included a contingency of $200,000 for unexpected complications that may surface once the work in the river starts. The proposed reductions would amount to $6,342,000. The revised estimate of $5.6 million would include cost of base concrete work, costs of electrical services by Entergy and a contingency of $500,000. “We sent this revision out to a third party to have them look over our revisions and make any recommendations they felt may

be necessary. They suggested that the contingency be put at the $500,000 mark due to the amount of work that will have to be done along the river bank. There is no telling what may be found once work starts there,” Carbo explained. The budget process was explained and it appears that the project is financially feasible. “We are finally in sight of accomplishing our goal and I would like to see things begin to move forward. I make a motion that we start the bid process.” said Ben Culpepper of the EDC. Mayor Brown Claybar countered that there would have to be two motions, one from the EDC and one from the City Council. Councilwoman Theresa Beauchamp stated that there was a need for something downtown. “We have a great theater, beautiful old churches, a world class museum, but we need places to eat and places to shop. We need things for people to do downtown.” Beauchamp questioned the pavilion cover. Carbo explained that the slab would be in place and that later the cover could be installed. Not installing the pavilion cover would be a reduction of about $400,000 at the time of construction. The budgeting of the cost would only include income from sales tax and not from the hotel, motel occupancy taxes. The motion from the EDC was passed unanimously. The motion by the Council was passed with Councilman Cullen Smith dissenting. Bid advertising will start Oct. 23, with bids to be opened on Nov. 22. The recommendation could be made to the council in mid December and the contract could be awarded by the end of December, 2011. The projected date of the start of construction is January, 2012 with a projected completion date of April, 2013.

From the Creaux’s Nest IT HURTS TO WATCH THE DYING What beautiful days we are having, but lying behind what appears to be great weather is a killer drought. The Houston Chronicle reported that the Houston area alone will have 66 million trees die. That probably adds up to a billion trees statewide. We are losing less than most of the state, but every day I see new evidence of trees dying. Yesterday, I saw a 100-year-old sweet gum that has given up. That’s not all; Texas farmers are losing crops all over the state. Without any water, crop losses will be in the billions. Don’t let what appears to be great weather fool you. Also, it looks like we are in for a long haul of dry weather through winter and into spring. I love trees and it saddens me to see those great trees that survived all the many storms now dying of thirst. I’ve been spending way too much time watching sports but this is my time of year.

(Editor’s note: Mary and Henry were Johnny Montagne’s grandparents and he has several cousins, Bailey offsprings, who live in the area.) The last occupant of the building was Fred Bailey.

Last week, a Chinese food delivery guy, after making the delivery, helped himself to Matt’s golf clubs. The thief traded the expensive clubs on line for Ecstasy pills. Most of the clubs were recovered but an expensive Scotty Cameron putter is still missing. *****Our Bridge City buddy, Keith Carter, has been battling throat cancer. Outside of the Chemo making him sick, he says he’s winning the battle. We wish this good guy continued improvement.*****Meanwhile, our lifelong friend Doug Harrington, fighting throat cancer also, is doing quite well. He’ll be taking daily radiation until Nov. 10. He and Regina are living out of a motel and motels are not as much fun as they once were. Best to our friend.*****Judge David Peck and his father-in-law, Pappy, were in Bridge City Saturday morning for chicken fried steak when a car hit the ass-end of his pickup real hard. Now everyone who knows the Judge knows that his pickup truck is second only to Patsy. It was a three-way wreck. The Judge is feeling aches but Pappy may not have faired as well. *****A big, sigh of relief came from Romney and Perry when “Big Boy” Chris Christie announced he wouldn’t run in the Republican primary. Meanwhile, Rick Perry’s onion keeps getting peeled and more to go. A real sleeper would be for whoever gets the nomination, I believe it will be Romney, to name Herman Cain as a running mate for vice-president.*****Betty Harmon always plans weekend trips and tells Corky at the last minute where they are going. Last weekend, they took in the big restaurant in Lake Arthur then traveled down Hwy. 14 to Abbeville. The only thing is they took

the loop and they missed the two unique squares downtown. They spent the rest of the weekend in Lafayette, she shopping, he watching.*****If you’re a bow hunter, or would like to be, our friend Butch Thurman has a first class, never used bow for sale. Save a bunch with this great bargain. Call Butch at 409-626-2177. *****Constable Chris Humble has returned to work after being hospitalized last week. *****Hank Williams Jr. needs to stay away from that bunch at FOX News. Those are not the right kind of rowdy friends he should hang with.***** The Orange County Livestock Show will be held Saturday, Oct. 15, in Mauriceville. Come out and enjoy a live auction and many other great happenings.***** Our buddy Nancy Vincent recently lost her sister Joyce to lung cancer. She says, “If you are still smoking, please seriously consider quitting.” Her sister lasted only 74 days after being diagnosed. A DAY OUT OF MY PAST I recall very well the occurrence of Oct. 3, 60 years ago. A group of us were listening to the New York Giants/ Brooklyn Dodgers game in the football locker room. We didn’t really have locker rooms in those days however, only hooks on the wall. No one stole, plus no one had anything worth stealing. Anyway, over the years, when us old guys get together, we always talked about “That Game.’ The Dodgers and Giants had finished the season tied so they played a tiebreaker, the best of three games. The Giants won the first game at Ebbets Field. The Dodgers won the second game. In the third game, Giants pitcher faced Brooklyn’s Don Newcombe. Jackie Robinson singled home Pee Wee Reese for the first run. In the seventh inning, Bobby Thomson tied the game with a sacrifice fly. In the eight, the Dodgers got to Maglie for three runs and led 4-1. Most of us boys were Dodger fans and were celebrating. Headed to the bottom of the ninth, Giant shortstop Alvin Dark got a hit, another single followed and Dark made it to third base with the tying run at the plate, Irvin popped out. A double scored Dark advancing Mueller to third. He broke his ankle on the slide and the Dodgers put in Clint Hartung as pitch runner. The Dodgers replaced Newcombe with Ralph Branca, who Thomson had hit several homeruns off of that season. Branca threw a strike. The next pitch Thomson clobbered the ball down left field. Everything got quite in the locker room. The announcer said “Going, Going, Gone.” The ball landed in the stands, with one swing of the bat Thomson won the pennant. It became known as “The Shot Heard Around the World.” Waiting on deck was rookie Willie Mays. I don’t remember what I had for lunch yesterday but that game, in 1951, is burned in my memory thanks to a small box radio with a long ground wire. CELEBRITY BIRTHDAYS On Oct. 5, Daniel Baldwin will be 51; Kate Winslet, 36; and Nicky Hilton, 26.***Elizabeth Shue will be 48 on Oct. 6.***On Oct. 7, Simon Cowell will be 52; Yo-Yo Ma, 56; Toni Braxton, 44; Rachel McAdams, 35 and Shawn Ashmore, 32.***Oct. 8, Jesse Jackson will be 70; Chevy Chase, 68; Sigourney Weaver will be 62; Matt Damon, 41***On Oct. 9, Sharon Osbourne will be 59; Scott Bakula, 57 and Zachery Ty Bryan, 30.***Oct. 10, Tanya Tucker will be 53; Brett Favre, 42; David Lee Roth, 57; Mario Lopez, 38 and Dale Earnhardt Jr., 37.***On Oct. 11, Joan Cusack will be 49; Luke Perry, 45 and Emily Deschanel, 35. CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Wen Sostan walk into Tee-Boy’s Bar & Grill he saw Tee-Boy behind da bar. Sostan say to him, “Tee-Boy, pour me a stiff one, I jus had anotter fight wit Sugar Bee.” “Oh yeah, say Tee-Boy, and how did dis one end?” Sostan say, “Wen it was over wit’ da little wife came to me on her hands and knees.” “Really, said Tee-Boy, now dats a switch.” “Wat did she say her?” She said, “Come out from under dat bed you little no good, Cajun, coward.” C’EST TOUT We live in the greatest country on earth. We are the best, in the worst of times. Right now we are going through some tough times and these hard times didn’t arrive over night. It started going down the tube a few years ago, then it really got to be a mess, from unnecessary wars to an economy that was losing 700,000 jobs a month, eight million in all and a national debt that doubled from $5.6 trillion to $11 trillion in eight years. No one could turn such a disaster around over night or in just a few years. The economy, while still sluggish, is still in growth mode, jobless claims fell by 37,000 last week, gasoline prices continue to fall. Not great, but with the GDP up 4 percent, there is a ray of sunshine. If the Congress would pitch in and want to assist, some positive results would happen, like turning the auto industry around. The biggest problem is speaker of the house John Boehner can’t deliver. The Tea Party is holding he and the country hostage. I believe their extreme say “No” attitude will hurt any Republican candidate next fall. The problem is on Obama’s watch but he can’t clean this mess alone.*****Read us from cover to cover and check out all the great ads. Take care and God bless.

As a ‘big brother’, Danny recalled his favorite childhood memory growing up in Brownwood and said “it only seems like yesterday” that he led Sissy and his four little brothers down trails that Big Lake, Blue Hole and Cow Creek to go swimming. Naomi Stevens resides in Pearland Tx; Samuel (Sammy) Stevens and wife Linda of Sulphur, LA., Nathaniel Benjamin (Benny) Stevens and wife Debbie of Orange; Michael Stevens and wife Claire of Houston and David Stevens wife Karen of Bridge City. Also, survived by 12 nieces and nephews, two great nieces and one great nephew. Danny’s life of fishing and hunting began as a toddler with his father and grandfather. As a teenager he enjoyed Lake of the Pines with Aunt Rosie and Uncle Jack, fishing and swimming there with many cousins. His purchase of houses on the bank of the Sabine River at Indian Lake gave him the perfect place to collect antique cars and ride motorcycles on country roads. It was a favorite spot to hang out with his buddies, brothers and his boys. It was here that on any day one could meet up with Danny for a rabbit, squirrel or coon hunt and then hang around for his ‘story telling’! And everyone has a favorite story to tell about Danny. In 1996 Danny purchased a family place on Toledo Bend …..the big house across from Stevens Point at Carmichael ’s Marina. Danny participated in the Stevens Family Reunions for 38 years. His place and his knowledge of fishing on Toledo Bend will be remembered and treasured forever among all that were lucky enough to have fished, hunted or just hung out with Danny. Toledo Bend is where Danny met the challenge of being an uncle, he enjoyed the nieces and nephews’ and shared his skills and more stories of big ones that got away. Danny developed a love for the elderly when two of his great aunts needed watchful loved ones to care for them local nursing homes. Dan continued visiting area nursing homes for fifteen years. He added singing ‘old time gospels’ to his visits. Danny called it his ‘ministry.’ He’s been missed by those who depended on seeing him weekly as his illness escalated. Danny served in the U. S. Army; Bamberg, Germany . He was honorably discharged after three years of serving his country. He has stayed active in the Veterans of Foreign War and the American Legion. Danny’s mother, an ordained minister, pastor’s wife and mother of four at the time she answered the call to become a Boy Scout Leader. Danny’s love of nature was what it took to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout. It was the heroic deed of saving the life of a small boy in a lake that border the family’s home that caused Danny to be recognized by the City of Orange and the Sabine Council of Boy Scouts of America. He gained many ranks as a rifleman and is a member of the American Rifleman Association. ‘Dead Eye Dan’ is the nick name given to Danny. As just a kid, he could out shoot his dad and most adults. Danny faithfully attended the annual Youth Camp of the United Pentecostal Church in Lufkin. He never missed Camp Meeting right up to the beginning of his illness. Danny and the five other Stevens children graduated from Little Cypress High School. They all attended all 12 years each at the Little Cypress School. Danny was active in the Key Club and served as Treasurer. He was voted the Neatest Senior of the class of 1962. All of Danny’s siblings are grateful to those who took the time to call, visit and pray for Danny during his lengthily illness, especially his Little Cypress classmates. Danny attended San Jacinto College

Houston. The family also thanks the Fairdale Fire Department, the Rev. Bo Owens, Doris Weiss, Odessey Hospice, Garden Terrace, Windsong Village , The VA Hospital Houston, St. Elizabeth Hospital Beaumont, Outreach, Karen Breaux, Fuller Plumbing Hemphill, Dorman Funeral Home, Helen Clark, The North Orange Pentecostal Church, Thomas Ladner, Bubba McNeely, Pearland EMS , Beachwood neighbors, Betty Lawrence, John Crenshaw, Tammy Taylor, Amber Grisso, the Rev.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, Oct. 14 at 2:30 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church in Orange with the Rev. Mike Umbenhaur officiating. Charlotte was born in St. Louis, Miss. on July 6, 1927 to parents Ethel Gilfillan See and Charles Earl See. She was a graduate of Blewett High School in St. Louis. She attended Washington University in St. Louis before transferring to The University of Texas at Austin where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in education in 1947. She was a fifth grade teacher at Terrell Elementary in Port Arthur in the 1950’s. It was in Port Arthur that she met her late husband, James Pruter, on a New Years Eve blind date. She was a member of First Presbyterian Church in Orange for over fifty years. During that time, she served as a deacon, Women of the Church president, publicity chairman, and member of the Chancel Choir. Her passion for sports was widely known and no doubt stemmed from her father’s love of baseball. She was a member of the St. Louis Cardinal’s Knothole Gang watching Dizzy and Daffy Dean with her father through the 1930’s. She was an avid Astros’ fan, listening to their games as she took her nightly walks through the neighborhood. More than anything though, she was a Texas Longhorn fan through and through, and attended games as often as she could. She was an avid golfer and longtime member of Sunset Grove Country Club and the Ladies Golf Association there. She played bridge and poker and enjoyed the many groups that she played with. She loved music and learned how to play the piano at an early age. She performed with the St. Louis Symphony as a teenager. She sang and danced in countless Orange Service League Follies, serving as rehearsal pianist when needed. Into her 80’s, she was more than happy to provide a rousing version of “Happy Birthday” for her friends and family. She supported the arts in Orange by serving as president and publicity chairman of the Orange Community Concert Association for many years. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend who will be missed dearly. Her parents and her husband, James Roberson Pruter, preceded her in death. She is survived by her daughters Ann Pruter Seals and Susan Pruter Swan; their husbands Henry Seals and Bobby Swan, all of Orange; her grandsons

Dr. Bobby Seals of Austin and James Swan of Orange; and by her niece Scott Pruter and her partner Carol Harriman of Reno, Nev.

Cooking with Katherine: Blue Berry Crazy Pie

Orange

Cooking

This is one of our family favorites, so better get something to cut this one recipe out. My grandmother use to make this for me when I was little. I could not wait to eat my dinner fast enough just so I could get a piece of this wonderful pie. Since I have a big family, I have to double this recipe. Two cans of pie filling work perfectly for this recipe when I do double it. Also, the Dream Whip is in a blue and white box on the baking isle usually. It looks like cool whip when you finish with it. Anyway I know the whole family will go crazy for this pie too. This dessert will be featured in our Crabmeat Sensations Class on Monday night, the Oct. 17. Call for details. Hap-

With the holiday season on the horizon, many people’s thoughts turn to charitable giving and other altruistic efforts. Amid giving a helping hand to those who need it and donating to worthy charities, individuals can think about giving back to the planet as well. Many people equate the holiday season with trying to do more or give more. While these efforts are well-intentioned, the “bigger is better” mantra often turns into a season of excess. From thousands of twinkling lights adorning homes to pounds of wrapping paper used on gifts, the toll the holiday season takes on

the environment is substantial. The Clean Air Council estimates that an additional 5 million tons of waste is generated during the holidays in the U.S., and 4 million tons of this is wrapping paper and shopping bags. Incandescent twinkle bulbs consume considerable power, especially when every house in the neighborhood is lit up. Extra food is often purchased to make holiday meals lavish, and plastic or disposable dishes and utensils is commonly chosen for convenience. All of this adds up to considerable excess. There are several ways to reduce the impact the holidays have on the environment. Making smart choices and being conscious of when you could be adopting the “bigger is better” philosophy could help. Switch holiday lights to LED ones. LEDs use 80 to 90 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs. Plus they are supposed to last longer before burnout. Although their initial cost is higher than standard bulbs, energy savings and longer lifespan mitigate these initial costs. Place lights on a timer so that the light display turns off overnight. If you don’t have a timer, simply turn the lights off when going to bed. Buy items with less packaging to reduce waste. If you plan to purchase the same items as other friends and family (i.e. adhesive tape or tissue paper), think about buying one bulk package and splitting the contents. Reduce reliance on wrapping paper. Many people now forgo wrapping paper for gift bags because they are easily portable and can be used over and over. If you select wrapping paper, choose types that can be recycled and papers that are already made of re-

cycled materials. You can also use unique materials for wrapping items, such as cloth with ribbon or handkerchiefs. Trim the tree with handmade items. Stringing popcorn and berries to make a homemade garland is a much greener option than plastic tinsel. Use pine cones collected at the end of autumn and decorate with acrylic paints and hang with ribbon. To add to a Christmas decoration collection, shop at thrift stores or tag sales to find gently used decorations that are new to you. For those who want a real Christmas tree this year, buy one with the root ball intact. Then plant the pine tree in the yard after the holidays are over. Choose locally grown or organic food for holiday feasts. These foods might be more fresh, and you will know they

were raised in a way that doesn’t compromise the environment. Limit gifts that require batteries. Batteries routinely end up in landfills and damage the environment when they are carelessly discarded. Select toys and gadgets that use rechargeable batteries or ones that can be easily recycled later on. Reduce reliance on disposable entertaining items. Skip the plastic cups and paper napkins. While it may take a little extra effort to clean up, using china dishes and stainless flatware reduces waste that ends up in the garbage. Plus, all of those plastic and paper products that will end up in the trash require energy and resources to make. This holiday season, when the spirit of giving reigns supreme, don’t forget to give back to the planet as well.

Why Isn’t God Fair? Staff Report

For The Record

Did you know that a Gallup Poll found that people who called themselves atheist said their number one reason for not believing in God is that there is so much suffering in the world and they cannot understand how God could or would allow such suffering to happen. I want to delve into that question as much as possible. Why do bad things happen to good people or good things to bad people? It doesn’t seem fair does it? I want to begin by saying that Genesis tells us God created and called it “good.” But from that point, people fell into sin. Adam and Eve may have started the rebellion, but we have certainly continued it. I will define sin as missing the mark or not doing what God wants. While we have our moments, we do miss the mark quite often. In fact, the apostle Paul says “we have all fallen short of the glory of God.” In other words, we are broken and slaves to sin. We cannot “get it right.” Even the world we live in is corrupted with sin. Have you ever had to plant weeds? Weeds just grow. No tomatoes or lettuce or carrots or apple trees at random… just weeds! The world is broken and we live as broken people in it. Secondly, the world has order. There are 60 minutes in an hour, not 40 on certain days or worse at random. Time and space are predictable. Two and two always equal four and gravity seems to be working constantly. No one has simply flown

off the planet when gravity suddenly quit for a few moments. Finally, there is evil. Perpetrated mostly by other people. Evil is a reality, but few ever admit to serving it. Jesus found that out. The good people of His day actually killed him! What does that have to be with life being fair? Everything! God has created a world that goes along like a watch… tick, tick. We are in that world getting into human made autos, planes, trains, working with chemicals and electric currents, inhaling gases, eating “who knows what”, and any other thing that can hurt us. Frankly, about the only way to be safe might be just to stay home… no it might catch on fire. All in all, it is more amazing when we don’t suffer than when we do. So why do bad things happen to good people? Because bad things happen to everyone! Good (or at least good willed) people and bad people. Being a Christian isn’t some inoculation from suffering. Being a Christian should inform the way we BEHAVE in the midst of suffering. Being a Christian means we understand and believe the promise of God that we will be resurrected after our own death and live with God in eternity. That is called FAITH! Over the ages, Christians lived and suffered and died and yet faced their death with hope and a sense of anticipation of the life to come. That was a statement in itself to non-believers. Sadly, don’t let the world somehow create a false sense of security. There are those who say that faith in Jesus will make you rich, happy, and immune to suffering, but that just isn’t true. Be-

Various fun to be had on halloween Staff Report

For The Record

For kids, few holidays are more anticipated than Halloween. The chance to dress up in costume and patrol the neighborhood with friends while collecting treats is the highlight of many a child’s autumn. For parents, anticipation is replaced by anxiety. While kids are out trick-or-treating, parents may be home or at work hoping their kids are safe and sound. Because Halloween is so popular among kids, it’s hard for parents to forbid trick-ortreating. But parents should instruct kids on the following tips to ensure this Halloween is as safe as it is fun. Strangers’ homes are off limits. Make sure kids know they should never enter the home of a stranger, no matter how friendly or welcoming that stranger may seem. There’s no going it alone. Kids should not be permitted to go out alone. When trick-or-treating, kids should always be accompanied not only by their friends, but there must be at least one adult chaperone present at all times. Parents should get together several weeks before Halloween to determine who will chaperone, where kids will be trick-or-treating and during what hours. Stay close to home. Kids should stay in their own neighborhood and only visit homes of neighbors they know. Advise kids to steer clear of homes whose doors are hidden from street view. Chaperones should accompany kids to the front door if visibility from the street is poor. Choose safe costumes. Kids should wear costumes made of light colored material. If a child insists on a favorite costume that uses largely dark material, attach reflective tape to the costume so your favorite reveler is easily visible to motorists during twilight and nighttime hours when it’s not always easy for drivers to see. No toy guns. Toy guns are just asking for trouble, as many of today’s replicas are easily confused with the real thing. Play it safe and choose costumes that aren’t accessorized with toy guns. Bring a flashlight along. Night falls quickly in late October, so kids and chaperones alike should carry a flashlight to improve their visibility and make them more visible to passing motorists. Stick to the sidewalks. Trick-or-treaters should stick to the sidewalks and always cross the street at corners. Don’t walk in

the street, and never walk between parked cars when crossing the street, as it’s especially difficult for motorists to anticipate pedestrians walking or running from behind parked cars into the street. Be wary of masks. Many masks restrict a child’s vision, so look for one that provides sufficient visibility. If a child’s favorite mask is low on visibility, make children agree to remove their mask when crossing the street. Parents understandably worry when kids go trick-or-treating. But a few simple safety lessons shared with children can ensure everyone gets home safe.

‘THE RECORD’ HOMETOWN HIGHLIGHTS

Battlin’ Bears on a roll, host Ozen

B

BEAR INSIDER MIKE LOUVIERE FOR THE RECORD

The Little Cypress-Mauriceville Bears travel to Beaumont to take on the Central Jaguars Friday. Last week, the LCM Bears were ready to play Friday night, but so were the Ozen Panthers. Bear hair and Panther fur flew all night, but at the end the Panthers had driven the Bears back to their den. The 21-13 win by the Panthers dropped the Bears to 1-1 in district play. The Panthers played a tough game. Their defense made runs up the middle nearly impossible, sweeps were stopped and there was a good pass defense. “Give Ozen credit, they made the plays when they needed to make them. This is the best Ozen team I’ve seen in a long time,” said Bears coach Randy Crouch. The Bears received the opening kickoff and did a good job of moving the ball toward the goal line. In 14 plays Brilon Douglas made the first score of the night. With a good PAT the score was 7-0. After the kick off the Panthers started their drive on the 30 yard line. They were ready to play. On the third play Nicholas Nelson made the Panthers first first down of the night. From the Bears 35 yard line it only took the Panthers seven plays before Jakobi Jones scored with 47 seconds left on the clock. Opting to go for two, Jones ran the ball across the line for the two point conversion and put the Panthers ahead by a score of 8-7. They would keep the lead the rest of the night. With 9:08 on the clock in the second quarter the Bears tried to pull ahead on the scoreboard when Trent Manuel attempted a 30 yard field goal. Unfortunately the ball went wide to the right. It was the Panther’s turn to play with the ball. With the ball on the 30 yard line, and a first and 10 situation, Colton Boudreaux of the Bears came out of nowhere and slammed Panther David Green hard into the grass for a 10 yard loss. With a second and 20 facing them Green passed to Andrew Michael and earned the Panthers a first down. Three plays later the Panthers crossed the goal, made a good PAT and set the score at 15-7 with 4:01 on the clock. The Bears gave it a supreme effort, after 10 plays the Bears went to the air and the pass was picked off by Joseph Richards,

Kaz’s Fearless Football Forecast H WEST ORANGE-STARK over HAMSHIRE-FANNETT—This is not only the first District 21-3A game for the Mustangs but also is Homecoming. Whatever alterations Head Coach Cornel Thompson made after the loss to Giddings paid off big-time as the ‘Stangs rolled over Kirbyville 55-7. Quarterback Jimmy Salter completed only 7-of-9 passes but five were for touchdowns. H LITTLE CYPRESS-MAURICEVILLE over BEAUMONT CENTRAL—The Battlin’ Bears suffered their first defeat of the season and it evened their District 20-4A record at 1-1. The Jags are winless in league play and hope to get into the playoff hunt at the expense of the visiting Bears. LCM needs to get another winning streak started Friday night in Beaumont. H BRIDGE CITY over HARDIN-JEFFERSON—The Hawks have had a hard time so far this season, but their slate is clean as district play begins. The Cards need to bear down and get it started on the right foot after having two weeks to prepare for this game. H SILSBEE over ORANGEFIELD—The Bobcats have come up with some big wins against talented teams, but this probably will be the best team they have faced since Coldspring. And the Tigers could come into this game a bit overconfident, which would be a gigantic mistake. H BEAUMONT OZEN over VIDOR—After hanging on for their first District 20-4A victory, the 4-1 Pirates will have their work cut out Saturday night in Beaumont’s Butch Thomas Stadium against a talented Panther team that has yet to lose a district game.

giving the Panthers possession with 59 seconds left in the first half. Second half play started with the Panthers taking the ball on the 46 yard line. Deandre Burrell took the ball and ran to the 36 yard line before being brought down by the Bears’ Caleb Bickham. Seven plays later the Bears got the ball after an incomplete fourth down pass. After three plays the Bears were in

trouble and kicked. After a run up the middle for a five yard gain the Panthers drew a holding penalty. There was a run for no gain and two incomplete passes. The Bears took the ball, but were stopped by the Panthers at every play. After four plays they kicked the ball. PanBATTLIN’ BEAR PAGE 4B

H DEWEYVILLE over SAN AUGUSTINE—The Pirates have met every challenge head-on so far this season, so the start of District 10-2A Division II won’t be any different. Don’t know much about the visiting Wolves except they have a new coach who hopes to stop five straight losing seasons.

Orangefield’s Peveto coming home JOEY ENCALDE FOR THE RECORD

Bradley Dale Peveto is coming home. Not to stay, but to bring his Northwestern State Football team in to take on the Lamar Cardinals. Peveto is in his third year as head football coach for the Demons. Peveto is the son of long time Orangefield Athletic Director and football coach Ed (Big Ed) Peveto. Bradley Dale, a 1982 graduate of Orangefield, played football, basketball, and ran track for the Bobcats. He was a two time state champion in the 800 and still is part of three Bobcats track records. He holds the 800 meter record of 1:53.00 set in 1981. In 1980, he was part of the 1600 meter relay record (Scott Freeland, Dane Quarles, Keith Little) with a time of 3:21.20, and the 3200 meter relay (Keith Little, Paul Peveto, Clay James) with a time of 8:19.37. He was Orange County’s athlete of the year twice in track; in 1980 he shared it with Mark Kelly of Bridge City, and in 1981 he took the honors alone. After leading the Bobcat football team at quarterback, he took his talents to SMU on a football scholarship. He played for the Mustangs from 1982 to 1986 as a defensive back and special teams player. He played in three bowls for SMU: the 1983 Cotton bowl, defeating Pittsburgh 7-3, the 1983 Sun bowl, losing to Alabama 28-7, and the 1985 Aloha bowl, where they beat Notre Dame 27-20. In his final season he was elected team captain, Wild Mustang Special Teams player of the year and awarded The Mike Kelsey Award for Attitude, Hustle and Desire! Peveto’s first coaching job came in 1987 at Trinity Valley Community College where he coached the secondary. He coached at Stephen F. Austin from 19881991. In 1989, the Lumberjacks made it to the 1-AA Championship game, but they lost 37-34 to Georgia Southern. In 1992 and 1993 he coached linebackers and special teams at Southern Miss. He joined Danny Ford’s team in 1995 at the University of Arkansas where they made it to the Carquest Bowl, losing to North Carolina 20-10. His first defensive coordinator job came in Natchitoches in 1996, 1997 and 1998 for the Demons. His “Purple Swarm” defense (known for his attacking defensive style, which had NSU ranked nation-

In 1999-2002, he was the co-defensive coordinator at the University of Houston. In 2003 and 2004 he became the defensive coordinator at Middle Tennessee. He left Middle Tennessee and headed back to Louisiana to become the special team’s coordinator and linebackers coach for the LSU Tigers. In 2008, he became the Tigers’ co-defensive coordinator. While at LSU, he coached in the Peach Bowl in 2005, beating Miami 40-3, the Sugar bowl in 2007, beating Notre Dame 41-14, and he won a National Championship in 2008, playing in the BCS championship game against Ohio State, who they beat by two touchdowns, 38-24. In 2009 they beat George Tech in the Chick-Filet Bowl, shutting down the option game of George Tech. In 2009, he became the head football coach at Northwestern State. The Demons lost their first thirteen games. They went 0-11 in 2009. His first win as a head coach came on September 18, 2010 against Tarleton State 17-14. Three weeks later, they defeated the #22 rank team in the country, Central Arkansas. In the last game of 2010, the Demons played Stephen

F. Austin for the conference title but lost 36-13. NSU ranks as the nation’s fourth most-improved team in Division 1. Peveto is known as one of the best recruiters in the nation. The Demons’ 2009 signing class, put together in six weeks after he was hired, was ranked #1 in FCS by Rivals.com experts. The 2010 class was rated number four nationally among FCS schools in the Rivals.com rankings, the day after National Signing Day. In one of Peveto interviews he was asked about being a good recruiter. He said, “Obviously, looking at me and looking at Melissa, (his wife of 15 years) you can tell I’m a pretty good recruiter.” While coaching in Arkansas, Peveto meet his lovely wife Melissa Weser. They have two children, daughter Payton Marie, nine years old, and son Jacob Edward, six years old. In May of this year, Peveto lost his brother Garey Birt Peveto, and in July mourned the loss of another brother, Jeff Peveto. Both of them were high school coaches. Bradley Dale has one brother living in Orange, Greg Peveto. They all were great athletes and Orangefield graduates. Bradley Dale’s mother, Natalia Murray Peveto lives in Trinity, Texas.

Bobcats take on Silsbee after cruising past Jasper 47-37 MARK WALLES FOR THE RECORD

The Orangefield Bobcats (3-2) start district play this Friday at Silsbee (5-0) coming off of an impressive 47-37 win over the Jasper Bulldogs. The Bobcats continue to play better every week and are looking to put up a good fight Friday night against the Tigers. This past Friday the Bobcat’s rushed for a team total of 521 yards on 51 carries against Jasper. Leading the way were Carl Wiley with 193 yards on 13 carries with a season and career long run of 97 yards for a touchdown early in the third quarter. The game started off slow for the Bobcats. Jasper jumped to an early 12-0 lead midway through the first quarter with two long plays of more than 60 yards each. Jasper’s Karrion Morresey scored on a 62 yard run around the left end and then DeMarcos Collins caught a 63 yard pass from Steven Walker. Orangefield stayed with their game plan. Facing a fourth down, Orangefield lined up to punt and instead of punting, Carl Riley took the snap and scrambled for 34 yards and a first down to set up the comeback. Soon after Jeremy Watkins scored from 18 yards out cutting Jaspers lead to 12-6 to end the first quarter. Orangefield appeared to be hitting their stride in the second quarter and continued the

grind. Casey Raley scored Orangefield’s second touchdown of the night with a two yard run to tie the score at 12-12. Ty Johnson scored on a 54 yard run down the sideline for Orangefield’s third score of the game with Curt Nelson kicking the extra point and a 19-12 Bobcat lead. After being behind 12-0 it appeared that the Bobcats were in control of the game. Jasper received the ball with little time left in the half and was able to tie the score with a Morrisey seven yard run and Marcos Lopez kicking the extra point to go into halftime with a 19-19 tie. In the second half, Orangefield picked up where they had left off in the first half. After fumbling the opening kick off, Orangefield set up at their own three yard line to start the drive. That drive lasted one play with Carl Riley racing 97 yards for Orangefield’s first of four touchdowns in the second half and a 25-19 lead. Orangefield scored three more times in the second half, a Casey Raley two yard run, with Wesley Ackerman running the two point conversion. Ackerman then ran a 13 yard touchdown and another two point conversion. Ackerman finished the scoring with a run for 35 yards to bring the Bobcat lead to 47-19. Jasper didn’t go home without a fight. The Bulldogs brought out their passing attack and scored the final three touchdowns on passes of 19, seven and six yards.

Community Christian: Six man football comes to Orange MARK WALLES FOR THE RECORD

Community Christian School has a total enrollment of about 300 students. Only 50 or so of those are in high school. Realizing that there was something needed to keep students at CCS once they reached ninth grade, administrators, faculty and parents began discussing a football program. With a limited enrollment and even more limited funds the only prospect was starting a six man football program. Discussions began last November about how to make a dream a reality. In the short period of ten months the CCS Lions played their first six man game. What happened in that ten month period is a study of dedication to a dream and thousands of hours of hard work to make the dream a reality. Once the project started, they would need everything from a field to play on, uniforms, footballs, fences, bleachers, goal posts, a scoreboard, and money–lots of money. “We have no budget for football, every dime

me playbooks. One guy sent his entire system of playbooks and another coach sent me 14 hours of video from his team’s archives,” said Strandberg. “Getting the players was the easy part. We had some guys here that were ready to go to work. Last spring I had two old used footballs on a shelf and now we are getting ready to play out first home game and are going to be on live TV.” “The entire fence that surrounds the field was installed by the team. Those boys set every post and put all the fencing up. They also raised funds and did anything else that needed to be done while learning the game and keeping their grades up,” said Block. CCS is playing in the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS). They are rated in Division 2 District 4. TAPPS is a competitive league to play in. CCS will be playing some new teams; some teams that have played six man football; and some teams that were 11 man teams . The CCS Lions have traveled as far as Bren-

to start the program had to be raised from outside sources and the money to keep it going has to come from what the program can generate,” said Denise Block, CCS Administrator. “We sent the kids out to obtain donations and they would come back to me and show me a check for $500 or $10, or in one case $5,000. It was amazing that they could raise so much money in such a short time. They were so enthusiastic about doing it and we got such tremendous community support.” The fundraising efforts had raised $24,000 to start things off. The other thing that had to be done was to find coaches and learn the fundamentals of six man football. Adam Strandberg was recruited to be the head coach. “I am an eleven man player from Iowa. I found myself agreeing to coach six man football. I knew nothing about six man football. We found four other coaches and we went to work. I contacted some coaches in West Texas that coach six man teams and several of them sent

ham this year to play. “We left our school at noon, drove to Brenham to play the game and returned here at 4:30 the next morning. “It has been a team effort by so many to get to this point. We have set a high goal; we want to be the state champions. Setting a high goal makes us work harder. We are in a competitive district and we are going to do our best to make a good showing,” said Strandberg. Some of the things to look for in six man football are: 15 yards for a first down, the quarterback cannot run the ball across the line of scrimmage unless it has been handed off or passed to another player first, a PAT run across the goal line is only one point, a kicked PAT is worth two points, quarters are 10 minutes, the field is 80 yards long, 40 yards wide, there must be at least three men on the line, and everyone is an eligible receiver. CCS plays at home on Oct. 8 at 1 p.m., Oct. 15 at 4 p.m. and Oct. 29 at 2 p.m. Oct. 29 is the last home game of the season.

What’s causing all those second-half collapses? KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

The list continues to grow each week of the college and pro football teams that jump out to what appears to be comfortable leads in the first half and then watch them disintegrate in the second half. It happened two weeks in a row to the Texas Aggies and twice in four weeks to the Dallas Cowboys. It tried to happen two weeks in a row to the Houston Texans, but a stern lecture by Head Coach Gary Kubiak nipped it in the bud. And a 42-yard field goal by Bridge City native Matt Bryant early in the fourth period proved to be the game-winner as the Atlanta Falcons halted the Seattle Seahawks’ 21-point splurge in the second half and hung on for a 30-28 win. Buffalo, which rallied in the second half to overtake the New England Patriots, found itself on the other end of the spectrum Sunday by blowing a 17-3 lead and losing to the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20. Now the only undefeated teams in the National Football League after four games are the defending World Champion Green Bay Packers and the surprising Detroit Lions who both hail from the NFC North Division. Texas A&M would be undefeated if it weren’t for the meltdowns in its last two Big 12 football games. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out why the Aggies want out of the conference— they can’t beat a lot of the teams they play year in and year out. One wag said that when Texas A&M notified the Big 12 that they wanted out and were applying to join the SEC (Southeast-

ern Conference) that it was a typo and they really meant they wanted to join the SLC (Southland Conference) where they would be more comfortable playing against true “Southern teams.” Seriously, it’s difficult to understand how a team can make a shambles out of an opponent’s defense for a half and then come back in the second half and get stopped cold on the same plays. What appears to have happened is that the opponent’s coaching staff must have made some dramatic adjustments during the halftime. In the Oklahoma State and Arkansas comebacks, single-game passing records were broken by both teams. The offensive coordinators in both games saw some dramatic weaknesses in the Aggies’ pass defense and made adjustments that resulted in Oklahoma State rolling up 438 yards and Arkansas getting 512 yards—both respective school records. In the case of the Dallas Cowboys, it was fairly obvious what took place. Play caller and head coach Jason Garrett--being a former quarterback himself—continued to use the passing plays that were so successful in the first half. But what he forgot is that the Detroit Lions made a few changes in their pass rushing schemes and got in the face of quarterback Tony Romo a second or two faster, causing the hot-and-cold quarterback to hurry and throw the football short of the target. Romo had three passes picked off in the second half, with two returned for easy touchdowns. In fact, the Detroit Lions wanted to present Romo with the game ball after rallying from a 24-point deficit to remain undefeated with the 34-30 win. “It hurts,” lamented Romo after throwing three interceptions in his latest stunning meltdown. “It doesn’t feel real good right now.” It was the largest blown lead in Dallas Cowboys’ franchise history and the fourth-worst collapse in NFL history including the playoffs, according to STATS LLC. It also tied for the largest collapse by an NFL team playing at home in regular-season history. The second theory for the Cowboys second-half debacle could be that Idiot Owner Jerry Jones got so excited about the fist-half success that he drew up some of his personal plays and ordered Garrett to implement them in the second half. Either way the Cowboys look silly and go into their bye week at 2-2 instead of 4-0. Another team that was supposed to be one of the NFL’s best-but isn’t-- is the Philadelphia Eagles. With all that defensive talent they purchased during the off-season, teams are coming up with ways to score on the Eagles, especially in the late going. The Eagles have been outscored 36-0 in the fourth quarter of the last three games—all losses. After trailing Philadelphia 23-3 right after the half, San Francisco 49ers’ quarterback Alex Smith connected on a pair of third quarter touchdown passes to get his team back into the ball game. Frank Gore’s 12-yard TD gallop with 3:00 remaining put the 49ers ahead for good 24-23. At Seattle, Orange’s Earl Thomas and his defensive cohorts limited Atlanta to two Matt Bryant field goals in the second half, after trailing 24-7 at halftime. Thomas was credited with nine tackles, with five being solo stops, as the free safety took over as the Seahawks’ leading tackler with 27 tackles—19 solo stops and 8 assists. Seattle had a chance to win the game as the clock was winding down but Seahawks’ kicker Steven Hauschka missed a 61-yard field goal attempt with 13 seconds left in the game. The Houston Texans took the opening kickoff and marched

Battlin’ Bears ther Nelson ran the ball out to the Panther 34 yard line. Seven plays later the Panthers had scored again and the score was 21-7 with 12 seconds left in the third quarter. The Bears took the kick off and in six plays Alex Sezar scored with 9:58 on the clock. The PAT fizzled and the Bears were behind 21-13. The Bears’ kick off went high and in the process of trying to catch the ball, two Panthers collided causing the ball to go wild. A Bear recovery gave them possession on the 20 yard line. On the Bears third and 12 play the ball got loose, but was

Texas Aggies taking the field

91 yards on a franchise-record 19 plays to score a touchdown while Orange native Wade Phillips’ defense allowed the Pittsburgh Steelers only 296 total yards and sacked quarterback Ben Roethlisberger five times, including two by Mario Williams. The Texans led at halftime 10-0 but the Steelers came out and took the second-half kickoff 74 yards on 13 plays to score a touchdown. Pittsburgh tied the score at 10-10 with 5:27 left on a 26-yard field goal by Shaun Suisham and then Kubiak delivered his lecture on letting another game slip away. The team responded with a great finish as star running back Arian Foster scored on a game-winning 42-yard touchdown burst with 2:55 left in the game. KWICKIES…By the time this Korner hits the streets, the Milwaukee Brewers might already have captured the best-of-five National League Division series from the Arizona Diamondbacks. The problem is that the Brewers have a difficult time winning playoff games on the road. The Phillies’ pitching should carry them through in the other NL playoff series while the Tigers and the Texas Rangers should win in the American League Division Series. Perhaps Oklahoma’s drop from No. 2 to No. 3 in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 Poll is an indication of things to come when the Sooners hook up with the Texas Longhorns in their annual Red River Rivalry Saturday. The Longhorns jumped from No. 17 to No. 11 while LSU remained No. 1 and Alabama vaulted over the Sooners to No. 2. Wisconsin moved up three slots to No. 4, Boise State dropped one notch to No. 5, Oklahoma State and Stanford each moved up one place to No. 6 and No. 7, respectively. Clemson jumped five spots to No. 8, Oregon remained at No. 9 and Arkansas leaped eight places to No. 10. I got to watch my first-ever six-man football game after covering the sport for 50 years and was impressed with Orange Community Christian’s hard-fought victory over Chester Saturday. The rules are a big different, but a team still has to block, tackle and hang onto the football if they expect to win. I had a good time playing in the Orange Christian Services annual four-person scramble golf tournament last Saturday at Sunset Grove Country Club. Our team of Craig Couvillion, Kenny Ruane, Hal Breedlove and me shot 63 and tied for third place but as luck would have it the tourney gave prizes to the teams that finished first, second and twelfth. JUST BETWEEN US…The West Orange-Stark Mustangs need to play better than in the first five games (2-3) if they expect to win the District 21-3A championship this year. This Korner believes Head Coach Cornel Thompson has gotten the situation straightened out and will guide the Mustangs to the district title, with Silsbee coming in a close second and Bridge City nabbing the third spot, if the Cards can get past Orangefield this year.

recovered by Mark Sanders. The Bears lost two yards on the play. The pass on the fourth and 14 play was incomplete and the Panthers took the ball back. The Panther offense pushed hard on the ground and in the air, but after 12 plays the Bears took the ball after an incomplete pass. For nine plays the Bears tried every trick in the book, but nothing worked. The Panthers had the lead and were determined to keep it. The game ended with the Panthers taking a knee and letting the clock run out. “We can’t fault the kids for their effort tonight. They played hard every snap. Defensively we did a good job keeping them in front of us for most of the game, except for that last touchdown pass,” said Crouch.

LSC-O Distinguished Lecture Series presents Eugene H. Robinson, Oct. 18 Staff Report

For The Record

Lamar State College-Orange will proudly present its next installment of the Distinguished Lecture Series at the Lutcher Theater on Oct. 18, at 6:30 p.m. This year’s distinguished lecturer is Eugene

H. Robinson, a Pulitzer Prizewinning columnist for “The Washington Post” and analyst for MSNBC. He will be sharing his presentation of “Today’s News: Who’s Up, Who’s Down and What’s Really Going On.” Robinson writes a twiceweekly column for “The

res and London, foreign editor and assistant managing editor in charge of the paper’s award winning Style section. He has written books on race in Brazil and music in Cuba, covered a heavyweight championship fight, witnessed riots in Philadelphia and a murder trial in the deepest Amazon, sat with presidents and dictators and the Queen of England, and even handicapped three editions of “American Idol.” Using old-fashioned instincts and habits of a reporter, Robinson goes out and finds these stories. He sees them as the foundation that supports his provocative opinions, and as building blocks that can be used to assemble the larger narrative of today’s America. Born and raised in Orangeburg, S.C., he remembers the culminating years of the Civil Rights Movement,

Washington Post,” where he picks apart the American society and then reassembles it in unexpected and revelatory new ways. To do this job of demolition and reassembly, he relies on a large and varied tool kit: energy, curiosity, elegant writing and the wide-ranging experience of a life that has taken him from his childhood in the segregated South to the heights of American journalism. His exceptional storytelling ability has won him wide acclaim, most notably as the winner of the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for his commentary on the 2008 presidential race that resulted in the election of America’s first African-American president. In the 25 years he has worked at “The Washington Post,” he has worn many hats as city hall reporter, city editor, foreign correspondent in Buenos Ai-

including the “Orangeburg Massacre,” a 1968 incident in which police fired on students protesting a segregated bowling alley and killed three unarmed young men, which took place within sight of his house just a few hundred yards away. He graduated from Orangeburg High School, where he was one of just a few black students on the previously allwhite campus; and the University of Michigan, where during his senior year he was the first black student to be named coeditor-in-chief of the awardwinning student newspaper, “The Michigan Daily.” Robinson was named “The Washington Post’s” South America correspondent, based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, a post he held from 19881992. That position allowed him to cover the trial in the Amazon and also research his

first book, “Coal to Cream: A Black Man’s Journey Beyond Color To and Affirmation of Race,” published in 1999. That same year he became an assistant managing editor of “The Washington Post” in charge of the Style section and was named associate editor and columnist on Jan. 1, 2005. Robinson is a member of the National Association of Black Journalists and has received numerous journalism awards. His second book, “Last Dance in Havana: The Final Days of Fidel and the Start of the New Cuban Revolution” was published in 2004. His latest book, “Disintegration: The Splintering of Black America,” was released in October 2010. In it, Robinson discusses the disintegration of the black community into four distinct sectors, making them ideologically and politically unreliable. He is a regular contributor to MSNBC and lives in Arlington, Va., with his wife, Avis, and their two sons. Robinson will be signing copies of his book, “Disintegration: The Splintering of Black America,” which will be sold at the Lutcher Theater, immediately following the lecture. The Distinguished Lecture Series is a free event and is open to the public. For more information, visit www.lsco. edu or call 409-882-3097.

Mustangs face Longhorns for Homecoming match-up

Snagging a yard pass, junior J’Marcus Rhodes scores during the first quarter.

Meri Elen Jacobs For The Record

It is homecoming week for the ‘Stangs and they will be ready to play, especially at home, since they haven’t played a game here in four weeks. “We have a tradition at West Orange-Stark and we don’t lose homecoming,” Thompson said. “This is the next phase of the season with it beginning district and we’ll get after it this week, preparing for the Longhorns.” Last week, with a 1-3 start that hasn’t happened since 1983, the Mustangs knew they had to buckle down and get the job done against Kirbyville and that is just what they did. Although Kirbyville scored first, the Mustang defense was able to keep them out of the end zone for the rest of the game and post a big 55-7 win over the 0-6 Wildcats. “The team came out with a greater focus,” Head Coach Cornel Thompson said. “They knew we needed a win and were focused on their responsibilities and getting the job done before we ever walked on the field.” Although the Mustangs have only lost by a total of eight points and to schools who are not “sisters of the poor,” the losses were devastating to a team who is not used to losing. “They were tired of losing,” Thompson said. “We weren’t getting beat, we were beating ourselves. They responded positively Friday night and we are now trying to win two in a row.” Kirbyville struck early in the game when the Wildcat quarterback Cody Goins hit running back Red Haywood on an 8 yard pass. But WO-S answered back quickly when quarterback Jimmy Salter, who completed 7 of 9 passes for 203 yards, hit Derrick Ledet in the back of the end zone for the first score of the game. Kicker Rodickson Cano,

who was playing in his Mustang varsity game, hit his first of seven PATS and the teams were knotted at 7. J’Marcus Rhodes was the next of Salter’s target, as he caught a 53-yarder to put the ‘Stangs up 14-7. Larry Sonnier caught the next one in the first quarter between two defenders from only five yards out. The defense, who was on the field most of the night, scored two of four touchdowns during the second quarter. Junior Nathaniel Colbert snagged a punt return and returned it 70 yards for six and also caught a 34 yard pass right before the half. Abear Simien, who had a total of 96 yards for the night, scored on an 81yard pass and Travon Blanchard scored on a fumble that he returned 22 yards for six. The only score in the second half came from a handoff from freshman quarterback Chase Rutledge to Quentin Tezeno, who took the ball 33 yards right up the middle for the fi-

nal score. Up next, the Hamshire-Fannett Longhorns, who are 1-4 on the season. But don’t be fooled by the record. “They have some athletes and some speed,” Thompson said. “On paper, we match up pretty good. Coach Price has done a great job there with an off season program and this isn’t the typical Hamshire team we have seen in the past.” Friday’s Homecoming festivities will kick-off with a pep rally at 3:15 in the main gym, where the sweethearts and homecoming king will be crowned. The annual tailgate party will start at 5 p.m. in the Career Center parking lot, followed by the football game with kickoff at 7 p.m. instead of the normal 7:30. The subvarsity teams beat Kirbyville with a combined score of 121-6. The Wildcats don’t have a JV, so WO-S ninth grade were the ones to put on the show at the middle school, winning, 52-0.

scored twice on runs from 74 and 20 yards out and also scored on a two point conversion. Marco Jaganathan scored on a 40 yard run and Carlton Allen recovered a fumble in the end zone for a score. Devin Moore scored on a 50 yard run and Jermaine Mitchell picked up the two point conversion on a pass play. DeAnte Thompson put six on the board with a 25 yard fumble recovery for a score. Troy Brinson finished off the scoring from 10 yards out and Tim Lewis scored the two point conversion. The ninth grade and JV teams will face the Longhorns Thursday night at Hamshire-Fannett beginning at 5 pm. The WOSMS Stallions 8th grade football crushed Kirbyville 26-6. Jadarious Thompson scored 3 touchdowns. Scoring included a 21 yd TD pass from Payton Robertson, an 8yd run and an interception return. Trey Baldwin had a 67 yd run for the

other score. Offensive Standouts, Dillon Gray, Mallaci Hodge, Payton Robertson Defensive Standouts, Devon Williams, David Webb, Octavian Rhodes, Jaquerious Garrett. Thompson and Baldwin played excellent on both sides of the ball. The 7th grade Stallions took their show on the road to Kirbyville, and what a show it was. The mighty Stallion defense allowed no points or first downs on the night and the offense ran wild when it had the ball. Jack Dallas got the scoring started early in the game when he scampered 30 yards for a touchdown. On the next possession he threw a 60 yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Mathews. Dallas connected on the first of 2 point after kicks and the Stallions led 13-0 early. On the next drive, KJ Miller took a pitch around the right end for a 27 yard touchdown run, and he also added the 2 point conversion.

Dominic Tezeno got in on the action on the next possession with a 12 yard touchdown run. When the Stallions got the ball back right before the half, Hunter Quebodeaux took a handoff and went 32 yards for the score and added the 2 point conversion run. That put the Stallions up 35-0 at half time. The offense then ran out the second half clock adding one more score on a 7 yard run from Keion Hancock with the 2 point conversion run by Justin Brown to make the final score WOS 43 Kirbyville 0.

Bow season off to slow start, duck hunters making final preparations OUTDOORS-WEEKLY CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE

For The Record

Another opening weekend for Texas bow hunters has come and gone and the again the weather man is at the front of the conversation. Saturday morning started off as good as you could ever hope for with cool temperatures, little to no humidity and light winds that made it really feel like fall. Most years it seems the first good push of cold air always happens a week before the season opens only to give way to the heat for opening day. This was definitely not the case as it was picture perfect conditions for the entire weekend. Despite the absolutely gorgeous weather it appears the hunting overall was slow for archers in east Texas. I’m sure a fair share of deer were taken but I have yet to talk with any hunt-

ers who were just covered up with deer or had much activity. A few hunters I spoke with took advantage of the opportunity to take some wild hogs since they weren’t seeing many deer. The populations of hogs in Texas are at an all time high so you can just about bet if you spend any time in the woods your chances for an encounter are more than favorable. Over on the waterfowl side hunters are making the finishing touches on land and blinds in anticipation of the season opener the first weekend of November. There have already been several flights of pintails and gadwalls sighted in the area and it shouldn’t be long before the first waves of geese come streaming through. The next full moon should be accompanied by the music of snow geese while the daylight hours will include the distinct honk of specklebellies. These birds should have no shortage

of food as rice growers all over the state were blessed with plenty of rain at just the right time. If there were ever any people who really needed a break it’s the farmers, these folks are easily some of the toughest individuals you will ever meet. Each year the farmers fight against stiff odds to make a living and often times the work outweighs the profit. This year could potentially be one of those good years that will keep them going and make plenty of hunters happy in the process. Local waterfowlers will have less than ideal conditions to deal with when the season opens as high concentrations of salt water in the marshes have stifled much of the vegetation growth. In normal years when the good freshwater grasses grow the birds have plenty to eat and tend to hang around longer during the season. When we have an abundance of saltwater in the marshes the grass gets choked out and the available forage gets scarce for the birds. Dur-

ing these years hunters often see birds enter our area and stay for just periods of time as they search for food. This is very similar to 2005 when the hurricanes destroyed much of the marshes in the Mississippi flyway, during that time ducks and geese jumped over to the west in search of food and Central flyway hunters had a good season. One thing is for certain the birds have got to have food and they will go where the food is at. The outlook on the duck and goose population is optimistic and if the teal season was any indicator then it should be a good one. I know this is the same song and dance that waterfowlers hear every year only to get their hopes dashed due to a variety of reasons. Waterfowl hunters are true eternal optimists in every sense of the word, who else would endure the trials and tribulations and continue coming back for more. I don’t know one hunter who like a gambler doesn’t believe that their luck won’t change and this is the year it starts.

Cold fronts escalate flounder bite COLBURN-FISHING CAPT. DICKIE COLBURN

For The Record

Morris Dawes held his bleeding thumb aloft for his fishing companions to see and with a measure of false bravado announced, “It’s been a long time since I had a flounder bite me this badly.” Without even pausing between casts, his brother-in-law snapped back,

“You’re lucky a flounder that size didn’t just bite it off!” That was a bit of an exaggeration, but the dark brown slab thrashing on the bottom of the boat with two feet of broken line and a bug juice Flats Minnow protruding from its toothy maw was an impressive fish. While supposedly targeting trout and redfish, we finished the morning with eleven flounder and four of those fish exceeded the 21-inch mark. I have blamed the wind that didn’t ease up until June and an unusually cold winter for my inability to score well on trout in excess of the seven-pound mark this year, but the flounder bite has been exceptional since day one of 2011. Even during the coldest months of the year when we were cursing the redfish for running the big trout off the flats we were still catching two or three nice flounder on Corkys and suspending crank baits darned near every outing. It was almost as though the big females forgot that they were supposed to migrate out of the bay. I don’t know that I have fished a trip since early September that we haven’t added at least a couple of flounder to the catch regardless of how deep we were fishing or what we were using. The handful of anglers that either fish live bait all the time or at least opt to target flounder with GULP and smaller plastic tails have enjoyed an incredible year. While I remain convinced that forcing recreational anglers to harvest only the females of any species is grossly mismanaging a resource, at least for right now there appears to be a sustainable number of the larger females in the Sabine ecosystem. One can only speculate as to how much faster the flounder population would grow if anglers could retain the smaller males that will not make the 14-inch minimum length in their life time rather than only the female fish? The last two modest cold fronts have not

been strong enough to force the shrimp out of the marshes in great numbers, but they were enough to light a fire under the flounders already pondering the fall migration. It is not unusual to see the bite in the rivers and the bayous on the north end of the lake improve first as those spawners have a significantly longer trip than those that populate the south end of the lake and ship channel. Because my first obligation is to fish for whatever my clients want to fish for, I very seldom have an opportunity to focus on flounder only. There is a certain bit of irony in that considering the fact that my guide business was built exclusively around flounder fishing many years ago. The unregulated netting all but eliminated any possibility of ever catching anything other than small trout at that time and no one wanted to pay to catch redfish. A tiny group of local anglers that basically consisted of Gerald Jones, and anyone fortunate enough to fish with him, convinced me that saltwater guiding had the potential to be a better gig than continuing to fish for hire on Toledo Bend. That assumption eventually proved to be right! I mention that because I have, with only a few exceptions, chosen to pursue flounder with artificials rather than live bait. Clients get to see more water, it is a more diverse approach, and they have a better opportunity to catch both trout and redfish using the same lures. A small curly tail jig with a pinch of shrimp on the hook was and still is a great choice of lures, but we catch them on everything from paddle tail grubs to crank baits today. And, while fishing with artificials does not eliminate the possibility of catching a flounder over the coveted five-pound mark, your odds are much better day in and day out fishing live bait…..even more definitively, fishing live bait near or in deeper water. Invariably, the largest representatives of this epicurean delight are caught soaking a mullet or mud minnow around some form of structure in water deeper than ten feet. Points along the ICW, bridge pilings, bulkheads, and submerged piles of scrap metal are all prime locations to dupe your personal best. We are less than a month away now from having the five fish limit reduced to two fish for the entire month of November so why not take a shot at catching the biggest flounder of your life rather than chasing numbers? Based on everything I have seen this year, your chances have never been better!

How to clear away the clutter Staff Reports For The Record

A cluttered home is one that is typically filled with memories. However, as the years and the memories pile up, clutter can take over a home. When that happens, residents can feel uncomfortable and boxed in. Clutter has even been linked to mental health issues, most notably depression, as some mental health professionals theorize that clutter indicates a preoccupation with the past and possibly a dim view of both the present and the future. Those who don’t have an issue with clutter might find it difficult to understand just how difficult it can be to address. But removing clutter is more than just boxing things up and leaving them at the curb. To clear a home of clutter, men and women should consider the following tips. * Enlist a friend to help. When people work alone to conquer clutter, the process is far more likely to draw out. That’s because individuals will likely find a reason to keep everything they have, making decisions on each and every item very difficult. Enlist the help of friend who can help decide if an item should be kept. Someone who isn’t attached to each knickknack and keepsake can likely offer a more objective opinion on items cluttering up

the home. * Don’t kid yourself about broken items. Clutter collectors often have several items around the house that they insist they’ll get around to fixing. When it comes to broken items, men and women must be honest with themselves as to the reality most items will never be fixed. If an item has spent years lying around the house in need of patchwork, then it’s realistic to assume it will remain broken. What’s more, if a broken item like a candy dish has already been replaced by a candy dish that isn’t in disrepair, it’s safe to discard the broken dish. * Clean out the file cabinet. Clutter collectors are often renowned for keeping documents long after it’s necessary to do so. Though some documents, including tax returns, boast longer-than-average shelf lives, it’s not necessary to retain all personal and financial documents for years. The rule of thumb with respect to keeping tax returns is to hold on to them for seven years. Additional documents, including mortgage papers, investment paperwork and other extraordinary documents, should be held on to as well. But there’s no reason to hang on to documents like utility bills, phone bills and even bank statements for several years. Cleaning out the file

cabinet could clear up a significant amount of space. When disposing of old documents, do so with a paper shredder to increase security. * Embrace recycling. One way to turn clutter into a positive is to embrace recycling. One of the items clutter collectors commonly accumulate is periodicals, be it newspapers or magazines. For those who live in a community with curbside recycling, consult the local recycling center to determine if they collect periodicals. If not, arrange a time when these items can be dropped off at the center. Recycling old periodicals is good for the environment and can help individuals living in clutter quickly and easily clear out a significant amount of it. * Consider if there’s a chance to make money. A home full of clutter isn’t necessarily devoid of value. In fact, older items that have done little more than collect dust could actually be valuable. Cash can be a great motivator when it comes to clearing a home of clutter. Turning clutter into cash can be done in any number of ways. Yard sales, online auction sites, local newspaper classified ads, and even the local antique shop are a few of the options men and women have if they hope to turn their clutter into cash.

Domestic cats often enjoy a pampered existence. But in spite of their popularity as pets, cats are increasing in number at the nation’s animal shelters, and many do not go on to enjoy a stable existence at an adoptive home. Though not everyone can adopt a cat, there are ways beyond adoption that individuals can help the plight of shelter cats. * Donate goods to shelters. Area shelters are often in need of food, bedding materials, litter, and money to finance the care and housing of the animals. Visit the local shelter and inquire as to what is needed, then make a donation to that organization. * Spread the word about shelter cats. Shelters routinely offer photos and information about animals avail-

able for adoption. Post a link to a social networking site or send an e-mail or text to alert others about potential pets, particularly if someone has been looking to adopt a cat. * Become an advocate for spaying and neutering. Cat-lovers who already have one or more cats at home

should have those pets spayed or neutered so they will not reproduce and add to shelter cat populations. * Be on the lookout for stray kittens. The warmer weather is often the birthing season for cats, and kittens often get lost. Call the local humane society pick up the stray kittens.

Orangefield’s Peveto From Page 1B coping with the loss of your two brothers?” He told me, “It has been very tough! The Peveto Brothers were very close. Garie and Jeff both stood in my wedding as best men 15 years ago. We were very close and I miss them very much. My Christian faith has gotten me through the tough times. I do not know how people who do not have a strong Christian faith make it through these kinds of adverse times. The great thing about it is that I know we will be joined together one day in heaven!” Northwestern State’s players are wearing decals on the backs of their helmets with the initials of their coach’s brothers. The “Demon Deacons,” a group of Northwestern team leaders, made the decision to wear the decals and surprised their head coach with the news the day before the season opener. I have been privileged to go and watch Bradley Dale coach in many games. Every game that I go to, he makes me want to put on pads. He is one of the best motivators I have ever been around. In the Demons opening game this year, his team came back from a 17-0 first half score to score 24 unanswered points and win the game 24-23 against Delta State. There were a couple of ugly incidents in the game that he did not like. His post-game talk got everyone’s attention, but the comment from Coach Jay Thomas, the assistant head coach and defensive line coach summed it up. As we were leaving the conference room from the team meeting, Coach Thomas said, “That is why he is so special.” Bradley Dale wears his emotions on his sleeves. You always know where you stand with him. Bradley Dale is a player’s dream coach. If I was a parent of an athlete, or the athlete, you cannot go wrong playing for him. Whatever it takes, whether it bucks the system or not, Coach Bradley Dale Peveto is going to do it the right way. A linebacker at LSU, Kelvin Sheppard, recalled Peveto getting his ankles taped alongside the players before a game against the # 1 ranked team in the country, Alabama. Sheppard’s comment “It was great, It got everybody fired up, and it worked. It was one of our better games. Coach Peve was the kind of coach you would dream of having.” Coach Sam Goodwin, head coach for NSU from 1983 to 1999, who Bradley Dale coach under commented, “The thing that always stuck out in my mind about Bradley Dale is that when he took to the field as a coach, it was exactly the kind of intensity you want your players to bring. They see him working that hard and caring that much and that affects them. He relates as well to kids as any coach I’ve ever been around, and they’ll fight tooth and nail for him because he’s such a good motivator.” When asked what he has taken from his fa-

vorite coaches, Sam Goodwin (NSU), Bill Clay (SMU), and Les Miles (LSU), he said he took a little bit from each of them, “Coach Goodwin, Coach Clay and Coach Miles all had their own respective styles, but their core philosophies were very close in nature. They were all hard working, passionate, loyal men who loved football, their players and their coaches. They were men that always put the team first. They were men of great character and discipline. They are three men that I idolize very much and have the utmost respect for. Willie Nelson sung “My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys.” When I sing it, I have my own version: My Heroes Have Always Been Coaches’. These three coaches are definitely three of my all-time heroes!” Bradley Dale does come home once a year to chair the Ed Peveto Memorial Crawfish boil. This is a fundraiser for a scholarship that is given to a boy and girl of Orangefield. There is a lot of work put into it by many individuals who played for his dad. When I asked him a personal question about his and my hero, his father, Ed Peveto he responded with nothing but love and admiration, “Big Ed was a man of principle! He was a strict disciplinarian. He was very passionate about his family, football and his players. He was a hard worker and loyal to a fault. The best thing about dad was he was a man with a lot of humility. It was never about him, always the players and coaches.” Ed Peveto knew there was a bigger picture than football. He turned young boys into men and prepared them for life in the real world. We were not the biggest or the fastest but he made us believe in ourselves and that is a powerful tool. He was a father figure to a young man who did not have a male figure in their life. Many explayers will tell you they may have gone down the wrong path if not for ED. Bradley got a lot of his dad’s mannerisms. He walks like him, talks like him and can motivate young men just like his dad. I have met many of his players and they respect and admire coach Peve. Ed always had a pad he kept in the front of his shorts. It was his “to-do” list for every day. Guess what, Bradley has one too! We never get off the phone without telling each other, we love you. We have a bond that is special and one I will always relish. (Keith Little -1980 Orangefield Graduate) “Any time you talk about Bradley Dale, you have to talk about Ed Peveto, or vice-versa. No matter who you are talking to, it is always the same conversation; always true, and always the facts. Bradley Dale does what he does because of Ed Peveto, and I believe I do what I do because of Ed Peveto. I never had a father, so I could have and probably should have went down the wrong path, but big Ed steered me in

the right direction. Bradley Dale is the same thing to many young men. Bradley Dale is also a true friend. You may have a lot of acquaintances in life, but you have very few true friends. If you have BDP as a friend, you have a true friend. He does what is right. Bradley Dale and so many others, including myself, represent what his father is. You notice I did not say was. We still and always will live our lives in the ways he taught us. The good thing about a lot of young men today, is they have Bradley Dale Peveto. I still walk and live through Ed Peveto. I am a product of this man. Coach Ed Peveto and his son are much more than a coach. They are men of character. They are teachers of young men in the game of life. I believe in Ed Peveto, and I believe in Coach Bradley Dale Peveto.” (Chris Hall-1979 graduate of Orangefield High School) The Demon’s home opener was against NAIA power Delta State, in which the Demons had a come from behind victory. They went into Baton Rouge to the play the #2 rank Tigers in Death Valley, which the Tigers won the game 49-3. Then it was off to Dallas to take on the Mustangs of SMU, another tough loss 40-7. The Demons started conference play with an impressive win over Nichols State 34-0. It was their first shutout since 2006, when they beat Nicholls State 9-0. It was a nice start to conference play and a sweet victory for Coach Jay Thomas, the former Nicholls head coach, who got heckled all game by the fans. Coach Peve gave him the game ball in the locker room after the game. Last week it was a heavy weight bout when they went toe to toe with McNeese, but they came up short 20-18. Next on the schedule will be the Lamar Cardinals. When asked about his brutal preseason

schedule, which includes SMU and LSU, he told me “When we recruit student-athletes to NSU we tell them they will play a great schedule. Our philosophy is that a tough pre-season schedule prepares you for conference play! The SLC is one of the toughest conferences in the country. Guaranteed Money Games also are very helpful to our athletic budget.” “Coach Roy Woodard has done a great job of recruiting junior college and transfer studentathletes. They are a very talented and well coached football team. They won five games in their inaugural year and they are off to a great start this season. Coach Woodard and his staff are doing a great job. It will be a great game,” was his response on his upcoming matchup with Lamar. Alright Coach, I am going to put you on the spot. The Orangefield/Bridge City game has become one of the best rivalries in high school football. Who wins the bayou bowl this year, Coach Huckabay’s Bobcats or Coach Stump’s Cardinals? “Both schools have great coaches and excellent programs. Blood is thicker than water! I have to go with my Bobcats. Orangefield wins the Bayou Bowl this year,” says the class of 1982 Orangefield Bobcat. Lamar bringing back their football program has been exciting and fun to watch. The program has brought a spark back to Beaumont. I wish Lamar the best of luck, and hope they win every game they play except, when they play Northwestern State. This Saturday, Coach Bradley Dale Peveto will be bringing in his Demons to play the Lamar Cardinals at Provost Umphrey Stadium. Come on out and support Lamar or Coach Peve, it will be a fun game and one I’ve been waiting for. GO DEMONS!!

Orange Fire Department not too tough for pink Staff Report
