Christmas closings hot topic for county Penny LeLeaux For The Record

An unexpected hot topic at Monday’s Orange County Commissioners Court was an agenda item concerning closing the county offices from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Friday, Dec. 16

for Christmas luncheons so all employees could participate.

Judge Carl Thibodeaux said the county used to have one large luncheon for the entire county, but that it became difficult to coordinate because it was so large. He said that kind of went away and each depart-

ment started doing their own thing. They started coordinating the time for the Christmas luncheons three or four years ago, so that there wouldn’t be erratic closings of different offices.

Commissioner Precinct 4 Jody Crump opposed the clos-

ing of the county offices and suggested the employees could hold their gatherings after 5 p.m. when offices would already be closed.

Thibodeaux said, “I’m gonna disagree with you. We’ve got 52 weeks out of the year. If we can’t afford to close this

county for two and a half hours for the employees to enjoy a luncheon together, then we’ve got issues.

When CRUMP Thibodeaux asked if anyone else had any discussion, three Orange County citizens; Trudy Pellerin, Kathy Covey and Cullen Smith all spoke up in opposition of the Christmas closing.

“I just have a few questions since I’m one of the ones that showed up when the doors were closed,” said Pellerin. “I

know your saying the purpose is having a gathering and getting together to enjoy their company together. Can we do that not at the tax-payers expense? Because you’re essentially giving them an hour and a half with pay and I understand that’s not a lot, but when you just went up almost four percent on the tax rate, that does add up.” She agreed with Crump about celebrating after 5 p.m. She said some people only have their lunch hour to take care of county business.

Lack of rain doesn’t deter gardener

Mike Louviere For The Record

James “Black Jack” Hamilton’s gardening hobby could have taken a hit if he would have allowed the hot dry weather last summer to take its toll.

Hamilton does not have a large garden, it is only about 40 feet by 12 feet, but it has a variety of vegetables and has been prolific this year.

The three wide rows are broken up with tomato plants, beans, okra, bell pepper, new potatoes, and purple hull peas.

On the south side he has one of his two arbors of purple muscadines.

“I’m trying something new right now,” Hamilton said. He is referring to upside down tomato plants that first came into being on one of the “buy on TV” spots. “I have a friend who grew strawberries with one of those and you should have seen the strawberries he grew with it. They grew out of every space on the sides.”

Hamilton planted his potatoes inside of a metal ring that is about 14 inches deep.

He added a layer of barnyard fertilizer to the bottom, then tilled in leaf mold and dirt. He planted the potatoes in a “lazy bed” manner, just laying the potato bud and covering them loosely with the mold-dirt mixture. “I got a good bunch of potatoes from these two rings, said Hamilton.”

The three rows are widely spaced with a shallow trough between each row. To fight the heat he used two types of watering. There is a barrel that catches runoff water from the storage building roof. Since it has been dry, he

has occasionally filled it with the water hose. On the bottom of the barrel is an attached hose. Hamilton simply opens the valve and lets the water run through the hose to the garden by gravity. The other method is to simply use a hose and city water. “My water bill has been above normal this year. I water every other day. I either water very early in the morning or very late in the afternoon. The trough between the rows holds the water and lets it get to the vegetables slowly and at the roots,” Hamilton said. “I found out how to keep the stink bugs off of my tomatoes. I planted marigolds.

There is something about the marigolds that the bugs don’t like, after they matured, I did not see a stink bug.”

To fight off fire ants Hamilton uses another semi-homemade remedy. He found that a mixture of five pounds of white corn meal, three ounces of strawberry Kool-Aide, a cup of sugar and two ounces of Ortho Fire Ant Killer mixed and applied to the ant hills will kill the ants.

“We did pretty well with the summer garden. Susan, my wife, put up peas and beans, and we got several pints of muscadines jelly. I have just planted some lettuce and am

putting in collard greens and mustard greens. I’ve planted some more tomatoes and think that I will do all right with my winter stuff,” Hamilton said.

Hamilton’s back yard garden shows that it does not take a large plot to be successful with a garden. It just takes some planning and to be consistent with the watering and weeding.

The Pikeville, TN native is trying to plan a trip to visit his Tennessee family. “I really want to go, but I have to find someone to water my garden so I don’t lose everything while I’m gone,” Hamilton said.

The 2011 edition of the Orange County Livestock Show Association was an unqualified success. Of the 65 entries in the show, 54 made the minimum or better weight limit to be placed in the auction.

With the drought conditions and the above average heat, it was harder and more expensive than usual to raise a sale quality animal. It was an especially bad year for those who raise rabbits. The heat affects them in more than one way. They do not want to eat very much or often, which affects their weight. Another way that rabbits are affected is that they do not have the inclination to get together as often and male and female rabbits normally do. The heat also affects the ability of the male rabbit to produce offspring.

Goats like fresh feed and the heat affects the feed in that it makes it go stale quicker and also if any moisture gets in the feed, it will sour. Some of the goat breeders were feeding as much as a 25 pound sack of feed each day. It does not take much of that to get in the pocketbook in a negative way.

Tommy Byers, a 17 year old junior in the Vidor FFA program, was the owner of the Grand Champion Roaster. A roaster is a large chicken that is judged on the size of the breast. Byers’ roaster sold for $400 to Community Bank.

Byers also placed fourth in the swine category.

This year was a special year

for Byers. He won the buckle for the Grand Champion Roaster, as well as the Showmanship buckle.

Byers fourth place swine earned him another $600 at the auction.

“My other project is raising a steer for the sale at the Beaumont State Fair,” said Byers.

County business cost of the closing. “A few weeks ago Mr. Thibodeaux looked me in the eye and said we’ve cut everything we can possibly cut and next year we are going to do better. So, even these little cuts make a difference. I don’t mind ya’ll getting together or anybody getting together whenever you want to on your time. I hate to pay for you to go out and eat when I don’t get invited,” said Covey.

“You’re more that welcome to come,” said Thibodeaux.

“I think ya’ll are misunderstanding,” said Thibodeaux. “It’s not costing the county anything to do this. These employees are already getting paid, it’s not an extra expense and we’re not buying their lunch, they are buying their own lunch. The only cost to the county is if somebody is coming to buy their license plate and they can’t buy their license plate at that time. This is not increasing the expense of the county. This is being made a simple thing into a major expenditure, but it’s not, because it doesn’t cost the county anything,” said Thibodeaux. “The only thing is it might cause an inconvenience. It’s not costing you or anybody an extra penny.”

Smith challenged Thibodeaux, “I just want to clarify this; If they’re taking a two and a half lunch and they do get I presume one hour off non-paid, so in effect there is money that went out the door. They are being paid to not work; therefore, there is a cost. Would you agree with that?”

“There’s not an increased cost,” said Thibodeaux.

“It is a cost, yes or no,” said Smith.

“It’s not an increased cost,” said Thibodeaux.

“It is an increase in cost if you’re paying someone that is not there to do the work,” said Smith.

“No we’ve not hired someone to replace them when they’re not there,” said Thibodeaux.

Smith accused Thibodeaux of “fuzzy math.”

Smith and the women were talking “hourly” pay. The county employees’ pay is based on a

From Page 1

“yearly salary” that is budgeted; which is what Thibodeaux was trying to get across to the citizens.

Commissioner Precinct 1 David Dubose said the county has great employees and he felt they deserved the time for the luncheon and called for a vote. The motion passed 4 to 1 with Crump being the opposing vote.

In other business Monday, the court recognized the Sabine River Authority for providing labor and materials to repair the fishing pier at Bluebird Fishing Camp. “They have been a tremendous partner with Orange County in developing areas our outdoorsmen can enjoy. Not everybody has a boat. I lot of people like to fish and just don’t have the means to get out on the water.” Thibodeaux said the SRA build new boat launches at the camp about eight years ago and now they have repaired all the damage to the pier.

“They have been instrumental in helping Orange County move forward on providing fishing piers for the citizens of the county and for also providing boat launches, so I commend them for a job well done and for the money their investing in Orange County.”

The county also put the burn ban back in effect on the recommendation of Emergency Management Director Jeff Kelley. Kelley was also authorized to look into the possibility of grant availability in the next two years to remove distressed trees that may die and become hazards because of the draught.

Tina Barrow, the election administrator was given permission to hire the part time employees needed for the upcoming election.

Ten students from Lamar State College-Orange have signed up to volunteer during the election, reducing the number of employees to be hired.

The court also authorized payments of $21,652.83 to U.T.M.B, $34,312.24 to S.E.T.R.P.C., $68,641.00 to OC Economic Development Corp. and $158,257.25 to McInnis Construction for the Adult Probation facility.

OC Livestock Show sale of the Grand Champion Swine. The part Hampshire swine was the high dollar sale, bringing in $2000, purchased by Peter Cloeren.

This was Miller’s fifth year to show an animal.

Peyton Logsdon from the Mighty Pirate 4H Club of Vidor was the exhibitor of the Grand Prize Goat. Logsdon is a third year veteran of the show ring. He is a 12 year old seventh grade student at Mauriceville. He has shown goats for two years and this year his champion goat brought in $550 in the auction with other bidders adding a total of $250 in added money.

Zachary Willey Grand Champion Buckle for his champion rabbit. The rabbit sold for $450 with $150 added to the total.

Auctioneer Kenny Rodriguez worked the bidders, urging them to keep waving their numbers and doing his best to get good prices on all the animals. The bidders were more than willing to open their pocketbooks and reward the hard work and dedication of the students.

Especially rewarding was the amount of added money that would be offered after the animals sold. The 4H clubs saw to it with added money that each of their members was rewarded.

“This is our 19th year to hold the sale and it gets bigger each year,” Stephanie Legget,

OCLSA Treasurer, said. “This year we had the 54 lots in the sale and awarded 13 championship buckles. Some of the kids start as young as eight years of age with 4H and go until they are out of high school. We had to change the time of our show when Beaum o n t decided to go to a spring fair. We had been in the spring and having to flip flop means that our kids have to work harder. They have to raise the animal through the summer months when they are out of school and wanting to go on vacation or have a lot of other activities planned. It is also a hotter time of year for both them and their animal. We are proud of every one of these kids. They have really worked hard to do a good job. We invited 200 bidders and the Orange County Go Texan BBQ Team will feed them a great dinner. We hope they will be generous with at the sale.”

Leggett was later pleased with the number of bidders and the bids placed.

The long range goal of the OCLSA is to continue to grow each year and to expand into a first class county fair.

They are offering vendors of

From Page 1

crafts and food the opportunity to have a booth.

This year the National Resource Conversation Service had an informative display on soil erosion. The Animal Science Department of Stephen F. Austin State University brought agricultural related materials and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department also had displays.

The sale is a great opportunity to meet some of the nicest young people in the area.

They are a group of dedicated, hard working students who love agriculture and raising animals. To have an animal placed in the sale takes several hundred hours of work that has to be done every day in all weather conditions. By the time they have the animal show-ready the work they have done is evident in the animal. The conformation and weight, coloration, and attitude that they have developed in the animal is a true effort of love by these young people for what do. All they ask in return is the opportunity to sell that animal for enough money to buy another and start the process all over again and make it back to the show ring the next year.

“This is our 19th year to hold the sale and it gets bigger each year,” Stephanie Legget, OCLSA Treasurer.

MSNBC analyst, Washington Post columnist speaks at LSC-O Mike Louviere For The Record

Eugene Robinson, analyst for MSNBC and long time columnist for the Washington Post appeared as the latest in the Distinguished Lecturer Series sponsored by Lamar State College-Orange.

Robinson appeared on the stage at the Lutcher Theater and opened his lecture with some pointed comments about the ongoing presidential campaign.

His opening comments were about President Barack Obama’s inheritance of “the mess.”

“Some of the financial mess he inherited and some he brought on himself. The bailout of the banks and the stimulus package were unpopular and cost him some political

support,” Robinson said.” He pursued health care reform, which I thought was the right thing to do at the time. I believe that he did what he had to do at the time, but they were extremely unpopular. Beyond what you may believe, the Republican strategy of just saying ‘no’ has worked. It is not pretty, but it has worked.

“President Obama is in deep political trouble, no doubt, but I have to tell you that if I had to put $5 down tonight on who would win next November, I’d have to put those $5 on the President. Why would that be, given his approval ratings, and given the fact that so many people are so unhappy about the condition of the country? First while it is true that people have little faith in President Obama and

the Democrats in their ability to run the financial affairs of the country, in the Republican Party they have no faith that there is any one there to do any better.”

Robinson’s bottom line is that the majority of Americans think that the GOP would do worse than the Democrats in running the country and trying to straighten out them financial mess.

According to Robinson the White House fears Mitt Romney, but the Republican rank and file does not appear to like him. “At best Romney would only draw about 25 percent of the GOP votes,” said Robinson.

“Rick Perry looked good when he entered the race,” Robinson said. “He became the front runner, until he entered the first debate. He fell fast and far. At best Perry is in third place. As of now the Republican race is a mess and it looks like it will stay that way into next year. Perry and Romney have the most money and can stay around a long, long time. Romney will be the toughest opponent for Obama. In the end they will have to nominate Romney. In fact the last few months the White House has been running against Mitt Romney.

That tells me that they think Romney will be the hardest to run against. In the end the GOP goes with the establishment and in this case the establishment is Romney.”

Robinson’s view on Obama is that Obama brought out first time voters, but will have a tough time getting those voters to turn out again. He has been taking campaign trips that are not campaign trips to try to shore up his support.

Robinson believes that Obama will win, but that it will be a tough fight.

“These Occupy Wall Street Protesters are having an effect on things; the small protests have had an impact. This is a

whole new element,” he said.

“They are not without media sense. They are protesting the fact, among other things, that homeowners who got into financial trouble got foreclosed.

Bankers who talked homeowners who only wanted to borrow $50,000 into borrowing $200,000 and lost money on the foreclosing got bailed out. These protesters are effective and the candidate that connects with them will do well.”

Robinson believes that people are looking for economic justice and that they believe the system is rigged against them; that things are in favor

of the banks and those who have power and influence.

Through a sort of an alliance between Wall Street and the White House the protesters believe that there is no economic/financial justice for the average American.

“You have already seen President Obama use the phrase ‘economic justice’ in talking with the Wall Street Protesters and almost identify himself with them,” he said. “After their first protest, Mitt Romney was aghast about this sort of criticism against Wall Street. I think this is becoming a very effective protest that is going to have an impact on this presidential election.”

In addition to being an astute commentator and reporter, Robinson is an accomplished author. He is the author of three books. In his latest book, published in 2010 “Disintegration: The Splintering of Black America” Robinson discusses the disintegration of the black community into four distinct sectors.

He lives in Arlington, Va., with his wife Avis and their two sons.

EXTREMIST SAY NO TIME FOR CHRISTMAS By and large, local governments do a good job of administrating and keeping a good work force of dedicated employees. No one does better at it then our county government, so it was shocking to many when a political party called for the annual two and a half-hour department Christmas party be done away with. Republican chairperson and Orange County Tea Party founder, Trudy Pellerin, put it this way in her presentation to the court. “This is like a thorn in my side.” Cullin Smith said, “Employees are getting paid to work.” This all stems from employees bringing a covered dish, drinks, etc. and sharing the Christmas spirit together for a little while. To object to that is carrying radical views to an extreme. I’m afraid this won’t be the last time the obstructionist will be trying to intimidate. It’s their M.O. You know, just say “NO” even to the silliest argument. It was no surprise to me as I’ve been observing Commissioner Jody Crump’s actions since he took office. The Tea Party in Vidor, where their base is, elected Jody over a weak candidate and now he’s beholden to them. It seems to me, the Tea Party sets his agenda and he carries it out. No doubt they have their hooks in him. I don’t believe, on his own, Jody would vote to take away an employee Christmas party. I suspect this won’t be the last time you hear from these folks on the most minute things and Jody will keep carrying their water and voting no to everything they want him to. Just like he did on the agenda item. It’s a move to disrupt a smooth running court. I hope it’s not a sign that we are going back to times of past years when meetings lasted three or four hours with nit-picking and accomplishing little. We commend Commissioner David Dubose, who recently switched to the Republican Party. He expressed the views of the mainstream Republican establishment. It was a non-issue that should have been without regards. Jody would have expressed the same views if he could have. Just watch how he votes you’ll get the picture.

A FEW HAPPENINGS The Wednesday Lunch Bunch dined at Robert’s Restaurant last week. Grace and Cary served the meal.

Among the boys attending was Coach Dan Ray Hooks who says he has been watching the ‘Stangs when not attending grandkid games. Cynthia was away on the New Mexico border visiting children, so Shockley was feeding him. New Veterans’ Service Officer Gene Smith visited also, with Pinehurst Administrator Joe Parkhurst and Commissioner John Dubose. King Dunn told about the good response he received to his dipping vat story. Judge Carl Thibodeaux and Hooks talked football out of the past at West Orange-Stark. Rev. Leo told about his latest trip where he preached at several churches. Judge of Pct. 1, David Peck, visited with Judge Claude Wimberly, who held that office for over 20 years. The most popular among the 20 boys was pretty Shirley Zimmerman, who was the only female. Judge Janice, Donna Scales, Brandy Slaughter, Christy Kourey, Babette Philpott and the other girls were no-shows. Also absent was Marlene, who is seldom absent. She’s nursing a bad foot and will have toe surgery in a few days. She had a valid excuse. Also sighted at Robert’s, one of their favorite places to eat, were Mary and Don Stanton. As of late, Don is sailing fairly well, Mary always looks great to me. The Lunch Bunch will dine at Novrozsky’s next week. Everyone welcome. *****The annual pumpkin display at Winfree Baptist Church, on Hwy. 62, is out. It’s very impressive. *****Speaking of Winfree, I sure do miss “Buckshot.” He was one heck of a guy.

He’s happy Ms. Ginny is staying home for a change. Sue Simar came by also. She and Tommy are holding some frozen figs for us. We will put them in preserves as soon as I can get around to picking them up. I’ve been meeting myself lately, plus being away, held prisoner for a few days. *****Since he left high school attorney Sharon Bearden has been on a diet. He’s probably lost between 1,500 pounds to 1,800 pounds in the last 50 years. He’s a darn good lawyer, one of the best, but he never was worth a dime at dieting. Until now that is.

He had trimmed down when a bad virus hit that he thought would kill him. He was so sick he wanted to die.

He lost another 20 pounds and now he’s back to his high school weight. *****Attorney H.D. Pate had knee replacement surgery two weeks ago. After a stay in the hospital, where he contacted some sort of virus, he came home but was grounded. However, Friday, sick and handicapped, he made his way to the courthouse.

It’s the Muddy Water Marina on Dupont Dr. across from the Boat Club on Adams Bayou. Great food and lunch specials served.

Gulf Shrimp and blue claw live crabs are also available.

Owners Ike and Lynn always welcome you with free, fresh coffee. It’s a small menu but oh so good. It’s a unique place to congregate with your friends. *****The Turkey Day game between A&M and Texas was first played in 1894 and has been played every year since 1915. After this Thanksgiving, footballs oldest rivalries will be put on indefinite hold. The Aggies wanted to continue the yearly

game after leaving for the Southeastern Conference in July but Texas Coach Brown told the Aggies that their non-conference schedule is full through 2018. What a shame. I had attended a majority of those games since Bear Bryant coached and John David Crow won the Heisman in 1956. It never was a sure bet who would win.

Many All Americans played for those teams, including Orange County’s Steve Worster. Most of all the great days were the old Southwest Conference games. I’m not even going to talk about the last weekend football pro and college games except to say the A&M offense was impressive. *****It’s going to be a Texas Ranger/St. Louis Cardinal World Series starting Wednesday. Creaux had predicted those teams would be in the series. It was just wishful thinking that the Cardinals would be back in the playoffs but they are a Cinderella team. They are the hardest to predict but the Rangers should win in five games. They lost in five to San Francisco last year. St. Louis will be home team first game with Chris Carpenter on the mound. It may be their only win. *****Johnny Montagne was the designated bidder for he and his friends at the Orange County Live Stock show in Mauriceville. They won the bid on several animals, including a prize wake-up call rooster. Johnny and Darlene’s beautiful daughter, State Farm agent, Heather, was a joy to watch walk across the pen to take a picture with each animal they bought. Beats the hell out of watching Johnny wallow across the pen. Johnny, Cowboy Bobby, Doc and the crew are always good at supporting local causes. *****Capt. Nicky Davis, longtime OPD officer, retired and now living in Nashville and is a candidate for city councilman there, was in town for the Stark High 50th class reunion. *****I can’t wait for Orange County citrus to come in. What’s in the stores now is poor quality. John Heard and the Orange County growers will have the best oranges coming in the later part of November. I doubt there will be Satsuma’s because of the drought and heat. *****Marijuana use is on the rise while teen alcohol and tobacco use is down. Today’s stronger pot is not like that of the 1970’s. Today’s pot is at least 10 times stronger and way more addictive. It’s the biggest drug problem in the United States says Peter Delany, of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services. Seventeen million kids use pot 20 or more times a month. Roughly one in ten teens that try marijuana gets addicted. Young users are more vulnerable. Ambivalence of today’s parents may be partly to blame because they are uncomfortable telling kids not to smoke pot because they used it themselves. *****Some special folks we know that are celebrating their special day. Attorney Joy Dubose Simonton, Oct. 19 *** Vickie Drake Brown, one of the most beautiful, kind ladies to come out of Orange County, celebrates Oct. 21.

She’s Betty and Earl Drake’s daughter. ***Judge Claude Wimberly and John Clark both turn 77 on Oct. 23. A pretty good pair of aces to draw to. ***One of our special girls, Brittney Stillwell, a transplant from Mississippi, will finally be 21 on Oct. 24. ***Also on Oct. 24, a lady we’ve known since her teens and who got older right here at the newspaper for 38 years, is sweet Debbie Fuesilier. *** On Oct. 25, Sandi Mobley Huckabay, who we have also known since she was a teenager and also worked at the newspaper, is another year older. Makes me feel old. I helped raise her as a teenager. *** Happy birthday and best wishes to all. *****CREAUX’S TIP OF THE WEEK. To get rid of itch from mosquito bites, apply soap on the area and you will experience instant relief. *****What is Andouille (pronounced (Ahn-do-ee)? It’s a spicy country sausage used in gumbo and other Cajun dishes.

CELEBRITY BIRTHDAYS On Oct. 19, Evander Holyfield will be 49; John Lithgow, 66; Ty Pennington, 46 and Michael Gambon, 71. ***Snoop Dogg will be 40 on Oct. 20; Viggo Mortensen, 53 and Tom Petty, 61. ***Kim Kardashian will be 31 on Oct. 21 and Carrie Fisher, 55***On Oct. 22, Christopher Lloyd will be 73; Jeff Goldblum, 59, Shaggy, 43 and Jonathan Lipnicki, 21. ***Dwight Yoakam will be 55 on Oct. 23; Weird Al Yankevie, 52 and Ryan Reynolds, 35***Kevin Kline will be 64, Oct. 24; Adam Goldberg, 41 and Katy Perry, 27.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Let me tell you bout dat “Tee-Man” Duplantis and his wife Ethel. Well, “Tee-Man” got fired from anutta job so I axe him why?

He say, “Well, cuz, you know how dem forman dem, dey jus stand around wit dere hands in dere pockets and watch everybody else work?”

“What dat got to do wit you losing you job?” I axe.

“Tee Man” say, “Because dat forman him, he was jealous, all dem workers tought I was the foreman me.”

While I was visiting, his wife Ethel come out on the porch and axe, “Tee-Man” babe, how many of dem fish you caught wen you was gone over da weekend?”

Tee-Man look her rat in da eye and say, “Mais honey, I caught six beauties. Why you axe hanh?”

“Well,” Ethel say, “Dats wat I t’ought me, dat Comeaux at da fish market is trying to get to us again. He billed us for eight of dem fish.”

C’EST TOUT The big surprise of the week happened this Tuesday morning when Bridge City Mayor Kirk Roccaforte showed up at a Port Arthur lab for blood work. A beautiful Italian lady, sitting way in the back, called out his name and he turned around to find it was his mother.

Neither knew the other would be there. He got to spend some quality time with Mom. A great way to start the day.*****Well, another week down. I’m going to turn this in and kick back and watch the Republican debate. It will be over by the time you read this but it’s always a show. Gov. Perry has some selling to do if he wants to stop falling like a rock in a well. Can you believe 25 percent of Republicans are buying into Herman Cain’s 9-99 con game. Oh well, we’ll see.*****Gotta go. Thanks for your time. Take care and God bless.

She graduated from Beaumont High in 1941. Mrs. Hudson received her English degree from the University of Texas in Austin in 1944, and her Masters in Library Science from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge in 1946. She was a past State President of AAUW, a longtime member of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and choir, a past president of the PTO, a member of Chamber Musicians, and an avid bridge player.

She is survived by her five children: Sherry Windham of Orange; Annette Quimby of The Woodlands; Leo and Cheryl Singleton of Slidell, La.; Gail and Mike Corder of Ft. Worth and Teri and Bill Ross of Montgomery. She is also survived by twelve grandchildren: Brandy Windham-Waite; Ashley Retzloff; Stephanie Quimby; Scott Quimby; David Quimby; Leo Singleton, IV; Laura Singleton; Brian Corder; Cassidy Corder; Shane Ross; Jason Ross and Kelli Ross.

She is also survived by six great-grandchildren: Nora Windham-Waite; Luca WindhamWaite; Gavin Retzloff, Drew Corder; Blake Corder and Graham Corder.

Mary Emily Reily Martell Orange Mary Emily Reily Martell, 91, of Orange, passed away October 16 after a brief illness.

She was born July 3, 1920, to Charles and Elizabeth Reily at Fernwood Plantation near Jackson, La. A gathering of family and friends will be held on Friday, Oct. 21 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Claybar Funeral Home in Orange. Services will be held at the First United Methodist Church at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22 followed by internment at Forest Lawn Cemetery in West Orange.

Grandsons and great grandsons will serve as pallbearers.

Mary and her late husband, Joseph Robert (Bob) Martell, moved to Orange in 1943. They opened a trailer park at 10th and Park as families were moving to Orange to work in the shipyards and building Riverside. Later, Mary was secretary and kept books for Martell Paint and Body

Works on Border Street. She was a P.T.A. member and officer when her children attended Curtis School. While a member of North Orange Baptist Church for many years, she taught a Sunday School class. Eventually she found a church home at First United Methodist where she was a member of the Fidelis Sunday School class and Joy Group and served on many committees.

Mary loved gardening and was a founding member of the Leaf and Petal Garden Club. She was a national flower judge in Orange and around Southeast Texas.

Interested in Japanese flower arranging, she studied Ikebana for seven years. She was an avid Bridge player and member of several clubs. The Antique Study Group was very special to her and she loved her collections and filled her home with beautiful objects. She was named Altrusa Woman of the Year; she headed the American Cancer Drive in Orange for two years and was a member of the Orange Chapter of Eastern Star; A&M Mother’s Club and Sunset Grove Country Club.

Mary had a passion for sports and supported her sons’ many athletic pursuits, which no doubt stemmed from her own athletic endeavors, which included high school track and basketball, and later, tennis.

Mary’s greatest legacy was in the “art of motherhood”. She is survived by her children Barbara Hayes of Tucson, Ariz.; Ron and Mary Martell of Austin; Don and Beth Martell of Asheville, N.C.; and Randy and Marilyn Martell of College Station. Also many adoring grandchildren: Becky and Scott Kirkpatrick of Tyler; Craig and Sharee McCrindle of Tucson; Ryan Martell of Deltaville, Va.; Rachael Martell and Peter Karns of Asheville, Justin Martell of Austin; and Kristin Martell of The Woodlands. Mary leaves seven great-grandchildren: Rachel Peart and spouse, Michael; Mathew Kirkpatrick, Jacob Kirkpatrick and spouse, Callie, Nathan Kirkpatrick, Alex McCrindle, Paige McCrindle and

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to be made to the First United Methodist Church, 502 N. 6th Street, Orange, TX 77630.

Choosing a life insurance policy that works for you Staff Report

For The Record

Individuals still may be living up to resolutions they made in the beginning of the year. Oftentimes, plans to get fit are at the top of the list. People taking inventory of their personal health may want to take added precautions safeguarding the wellbeing of themselves and their families. A life insurance policy can be a way to do just that.

Not everyone needs to purchase life insurance. There are a number of factors that come into play when deciding if a policy is right for you. A policy can be beneficial if a specific person is the breadwinner in the family, or his or her salary is heavily relied on to pay bills or college tuitions.

In the event of a person’s death, a life insurance policy can provide for funeral costs and also cover mortgage payments and other expenses.

Choosing a policy can be difficult, but understanding life insurance is the key to know-

ing how much coverage to get and which policy works best for you.

Term Life Insurance: According to State Farm Insurance, term life insurance provides death protection for a stated time period, or term.

A person pays a fixed rate for a set amount of time. Should that period expire, coverage at the previous rate is no longer guaranteed and the client must either stop coverage or obtain further coverage with different payments and/or conditions.

Term life insurance is generally sought after for those on a limited budget because payments tend to be more affordable. It can serve as peace of mind during child-rearing years or up until the point when personal savings will cover any unforseen expenses at the time of death.

Depending on the insurance policy, the term can be for as little as 1 year to as many as 30 years. The premium will be more for a longer term because an older person is considered

a greater risk factor than a younger one.

Inidividual insurance companies may vary their renewal policies and rate increases, so purchasers will have to research the affordability and practicality of taking out a short-term or long-term policy. Unless there is a history of illness in the family, a shorter term may suffice.

Permanent Life Insurance: Permanent life insurance offers a premium payment that is the same over the entire life of the loan up until a person’s death. Once a person has paid all of the premiums, a cash reserve remains and the policy is still in effect.

Permanent life insurance is more expensive because an eventual payout is unavoidable. Wherein term life insurance policies often lapse without a payout, the inevitability of death makes a permanent life insurance payout a sure thing. Therefore, people pay more to acquire this type of coverage.

There are different types of permanent life insurance: Whole life: The cash reserve builds up after the premiums are paid, but the person has no control how that reserve is invested.

Variable life: Individuals are given the choice how to invest the cash reserve. The amount that will be available at the time of death is depends on how well the money was invested.

Universal life: Individuals have more control over the policy, being able to vary the amount of the premium by using part of the accumulated earnings to cover part of the premium cost. Purchasers can also vary the amount of the death benefit. Flexibility comes with a higher price tag, however.

How Much Life Insurance Is Needed?

Many factors come into play when deciding how much insurance to purchase. Debts, dependents, other income, risk for illness, and other components should be considered.

A general rule of thumb is to acquire a policy that pays between 5 and 10 times one’s annual salary. Therefore a person who makes $85,000 should get a policy between $425K and $850K to be safe.

Cost of Life Insurance: Each company will have a different rate schedule and commissions paid to insurance agents. There may be hidden fees that careless consumers are unaware of.

On average, a healthy 35-year-old man may pay $3,000 per year for a $300K whole life policy. A term life insurance policy for the same amount could run $300 a year.

Depending on individual factors, purchasing life insurance is largely a personal choice. Advisors can shop around for life insurance policies and help educate a consumer on the ones that will be the best fit. Individuals should seek an advisor who does not work for a specific insurance company or receive commission for his/her recommendations.

MIKE LOUVIERE FOR THE RECORD

The LCM Bears prowled into Vidor Pirate territory Friday night and found the Pirates had a Bear trap. When the lights went out the Pirates had out-scored the Bears 36-14. On Friday the Bears will host the PGN Indians.

The Indians will be hoping to upset the Bears homecoming game. Looking at the statistics for both teams, anything is possible, but games are not won on paper.

Both PNG and LCM are 4-3 for the season. PNG is 2-2 in district, LCM 1-3.

Under the Friday night lights, Vidor took the kickoff and showed that they were ready to play. On the third play Pirate David Smallwood bullied the Bears

and ran 45 yards for a touchdown. The point after was good and the score was 7-0, Pirates.

The Bears started play on their own 34 yard line. The Bears moved the ball to the Pirate six yard line and were looking at a third and goal situation. Things turned bad, Pirate Austin Rodriguez was in the right place at the wrong time and intercepted a pass in the end zone. The quarter ended with the Pirates pretty much controlling the game.

The Pirates started the second quarter on their own 30 yard line and put together a solid drive, picking up four first downs on eleven plays and scoring from the two yard line. The good PAT made the score 14-0 with 8:04 left on the clock.

Late in the second quarter the Pirates

were holding tough on the Bear 34 yard line. The Bear defense held tougher and kept the Pirates away from touchdown territory. All the Pirates were able to pull out of that drive was a field goal by Brandon Clayton. His 27 yard booting of the ball made the score 17-0 with 26 seconds left in the second half.

Early in the second half things looked good for the Bears. They held the Pirates on their first possession and took over the ball on the Pirate 41 yard line. On the Bears third play Brilon Douglas threw a pass into the hands of Jordan Harmon and put the Bears on the scoreboard.

Trent Manuel booted the PAT and the score was 17-7.

The Pirates took the ball and played BATTLIN’ BEARS PAGE 4B

MUSTANG INSIDER MERI ELEN JACOBS FOR THE RECORD

Although the score was nothing close to the same as last year, the Orangefield Bobcats played the game like they always do against the Mustangs-48 minutes of hard-nosed football, and this year, they were able to score 14 like they did last year, but were able to hold the Mustangs to just 17.

“Give Orangefield credit,” Head Coach Cornel Thompson said. “They have a hard offense to play and they did a good job with it. They always play us four quarters and never give up, but we were able to bow up when it got down to the nitty gritty and keep them from tying the game with that missed field goal.”

After trading punts in the first quarter, the Bobcats were able to strike first when quarterback Jimmy Salter was pressured in the back field and threw an interception to OF’s Levi Shores who took it 16 yards for six. The Mustangs answered MUSTANGS PAGE 4B

JOEY ENCALADE FOR THE RECORD

What a ball game! What a defensive performance by both teams! The Bridge City Cardinals gave the Silsbee Tiger their first loss of the year, 6-0. The Cardinals improved to 6-1 overall and 2-0 in district, while the Tigers fell to 6-1 overall, and 1-1 in district play. The win set up the big game Friday night against the West Orange-Stark Mustangs at Dan R. Hook Stadium. Both team are 2-0 in district play, and will be playing for first place in the district.

The Bridge City Cardinals have never defeated the West Orange-Stark Mustangs.

Against a tough Silsbee offense, the Cardinal defensive line, led by Bryson Banks, Cameron Coulter and company, put pressure on Silsbee all night, leading to six interceptions. Three interceptions were by Tanner Cervenka, two by Tyler Roberts and one by Cameron Dishon, keeping the Tigers out of the end zone.

Silsbee received the open kickoff, but it resulted in a punt after a big sac by Keith Youngblood. Silsbee’s second series ended in a nice interception and run by Tyler Roberts. The Cardinals had two series in the first quarter but both ended in punts.

In the second quarter Silsbee’s first drive ended in another Cardinal INT. Ashton Hunter tipped the ball in the air and Cameron Dishon hauled it in.

MUSTANG INSIDER MERI ELEN JACOBS FOR THE RECORD

The Cardinals first drive of the quarter ended in a punt, and then there were back-to-back turn over on downs. The Tigers went for it on fourth and one, but were driven back by Banks, Coulter and Malachi Busby. The Cardinals took over and went for it on fourth and inches, but were stuffed by the Tigers. The Tigers tied to put together a drive but Cervenka, who picked of a Tiger pass in the end zone, spoiled it. The teams took off for the break with no one crossing either goal line.

The Cardinals started the second half with a nice drive, highlighted by a big run

by Matt Menard of 45 yards, and a nice catch by Slate Arnold from Menard. That

The Orangefield Bobcats (3-4, 0-2 District) will be on the road this week traveling to Hamshire-Fannett (2-5, 1-1 District) for a 7 p.m. kickoff. The Bobcats will be looking to even up their season record with a win over the longtime rival Longhorns. The Longhorns are entering the contest following a high scoring (60-6) win over the Hardin-Jefferson Hawks that have a season record of 1-6.

Orangefield enters the contest following two close games.

The first was a one touchdown loss against the then unbeaten Silsbee Tigers, and last week’s three point loss to West Orange-Stark.

Orangefield started last weeks game with a note of confidence, after winning the coin toss Orangefield deferred receiving the ball to the second half and kicked off to the Mustangs.

This was the beginning of a night of surprises by the Bobcats.

drive would go over on downs at the twelve. After a punt from Silsbee, Bridge City put together the winning drive. The Cardinals went 54 yards on the drive that ended with a hook up from Menard to Roberts for a 12 yard TD pass. The point after was no good, bringing the score to 6-0 with 3:28 left in the third quarter. Roberts would stop the next Silsbee drive, with his second INT of the game.

The Cardinals would use up the rest of the clock up in the third frame, with a drive that went into the fourth quarter, but went back to the Tigers on downs.

Silsbee put together a serious threat, but Cervenka spoiled it again, with his second pick on a fourth and goal with the ball at the fifteen. The Cardinals went three and out, punting the ball

back to Silsbee. Silsbee took over on their 43 yard line and the Bridge City fans were on their feet cheering for another defensive stand. Dishon would have a big hit in the series, jarring the ball away from a Tiger receiver. Tanner Cervenka said enough of the drama, and picked off his third pass of the night, and playing it smart by going down to the ground. The Cardinals took over, getting into the victory formation and ran the clock out, for the win.

Come out and support the Cardinals in this important Dist. 213A contest. The defense must bring it again. We know the band, which received a division one rating across the board, at the marching contest will bring it. The cheerleaders will bring it, and how about those STRUTTERS?

Battlin’ Bears mad. They started play on their own 17 yard line and in nine plays took the ball across the goal line again. The high point of that drive was a 66 yard run by Montana Quirante. Another good PAT and the Pirates were ahead by a score of 24-7 with one minute on the clock.

The Pirates kicked and the Bears started their possession on the 14 yard line. The second and ten was blown apart by Pirates J.B. Smith and Zayne Simmons. The pair got through the offensive line and dropped the Bear quarterback for a safety. The board now showed 26-7, Pirates still in the lead.

The safety punt put the Pirates in possession on the 45 yard line. On the first play Smallwood found an open hole in the defense and made a 55 yard run to cross the goal line. Clayton’s accurate foot on the PAT brought the score to 33-7 with 11:49 on the clock.

The Bears stalled and the Pirates took the ball to field goal range. Clayton knocked a 25 yard shot over the poles and made the score 36-7.

For the rest of the game the Bears played hard, but time was against them. Their last hurrah was a 12 play, 80 yard drive that ended with Kyle Herfurth crossing over from the one yard line. Manuel’s good PAT ended the game with a score of 36-14.

The ending stats showed both teams with 15 first downs. LCM controlled the air with 150 yards passing compared to Vidor’s 23. Rushing was a different matter the Bears only gained 60 yards compared to Vidor’s 395.

WOS Mustangs back in the second quarter with a pick of their own as DeCarlos Renfro caught the only Orangefield completion of the night and took it 80 yards to put the Mustangs on the board. Kicker Jerquis Beasley hit the PAT and WO-S was up, 7-6.

The “never give up” Bobcats played the clock game and moved the ball down the field, scoring just before the half to go up, 14-7.

Utilizing the legs of running back Britton Lindsey, the Mustangs answered back right after the half with a 30-yard run up the middle to tie the game. Just minutes later, Renfro caught a crucial 29 yard pass on third down to set the Mustangs up down close to the goal. After three incomplete passes, Beasley tacked three on with a 21-yard field goal.

“We have to put Orangefield behind us and look forward to Bridge City on Friday night,” Thompson said. “We have to move the ball better this

The Mustangs held the Bobcats on their first possession of the second half forcing the Bobcats to punt. On their next possession, the Mustangs followed up by scoring on a 30 yard run up the middle by Britton Lindsey at 8:48 of the third quarter and the point after was good, the score was tied a 14-14.

The Mustang defense was able to hold off Orangefield’s offense and at 4:37 of the third quarter, the Mustangs scored with a field goal by Jerquis Beasley giving them a 17-14

lead.

At 4:54 of the fourth quarter, Orangefield created one more opportunity to take the lead when Jake Best recovered a WO-S fumble at the Mustang 26. The Bobcats drove down to the WO-S 11 yard line and on fourth and six with 1:46 on the clock, attempted a 28 yard field yard that went just wide right, bringing the Bobcats drive and chance of victory to an end.

WO-S ran out the clock securing their victory leading them into next week’s game against Bridge City tied with the Cardinals for the lead in the district race.

Cowboy Church to celebrate fourth anniversary Staff Report

For The Record

The Cowboy Church of Orange County will celebrate its fourth anniversary on Sunday, Oct. 23. The activities will kick off with a band concert beginning at 10 a.m. with the service to follow at 10:30.

After the service, the church will provide a lunch of brisket, chicken, sausage, and hot dogs to those who attend. After lunch, the action will shift to the Cowboy Church Rodeo Arena for lots of different and fun activities. Some of these will include mutton bustin’, calf ridin’, steer ridin’, junior bulls ridin’, and calf dressing.

Other activities will include a boot race and a stick horse race; a timed obstacle course; a barrel race where team members will carry a rider, holding a chicken, on a drum around the barrel pattern; a hay wall where team members carry a goat over the wall; a goat tunnel where the team members and a goat move through a tunnel; a saddle-up race where each team must blanket and saddle a horse and then have one person ride the horse around a barrel and back and then remove the saddle and blanket; a ski race where one person on each team carries a chicken; a three-legged race; and, believe it or not, even a poop throw (only at Cowboy Church!)

All of these games will be fun for the participants and maybe even more fun for those folks watching! The public is invited to attend the worship service and all of the activities to follow.

For its first two years, the church met in a horse barn on Lane of the Oaks, just north of Bridge City. The barn had no heat or air conditioning, so it got very cold in winter and very hot in

Then the church moved into its present facilities on twentyfive acres at 673 FM 1078 in Orange where they have seen their attendance more than double.

Services include music led by their own country western band, the Cowboy Cross Band, personal testimonies, and simple, easyto-understand preaching. There are no offering plates past at the church.

At the close of each service, during the invitation time, folks may make their spiritual decisions where they’re seated without going to the front.

The pastor and the lay pastors are available to talk with them privately after the service. Folks who want to be baptized may either do so in the horse trough inside or in the pond outside.

A children’s church for birth through fifth grade takes place at the same time as the worship service.

The adults have their small group meetings, called Round Pens, on Monday evenings, and the youth have their meetings on Wednesday evenings in their own brand new building.

Pastor Dale Lee explains that God has done many great things through this church and that they are excited to see what He will do in the years ahead. For more information, the pastor may be contacted at 409-718-0269. lic. The church is located at 673 FM 1078 in Orange.

Never a bad time for a cork CAPT. DICKIE COLBURN FOR THE RECORD

While in the process of recording last week’s segment of “Let’s Go Fishing” on KOGT, Gary Stelly asked, “When do you decide during a trip that it is time to switch over to fishing under a cork?”

Virtually all year long, at least one person in my boat is always fishing a tail under a Mauler type Cork. That decision was made for me in 1981 when Will Bullock handed me a box of Mansfield Maulers up on Toledo Bend. He and Capt. Bob Fuston of Red Bandana Charters were working together and Bob had just come up with the cigar shaped cork rigged on a piece of wire to help his clients more effectively fish pot holes in the grass on the lower coast.

I was guiding more on T-Bend than here at the time and those fifty or so corks never left the box for the better part of a year. When I finally got around to trying them on Sabine Lake I quickly realized the value of Will’s gift.There was no grass on Sabine to negotiate with the Mauler rig, but it attracted fish like no other cork I had ever fished.

Thirty years later, improved versions of the Mauler are a staple in most fishing arsenals and for good reason. They will catch trout and redfish when all else fails. For the first several years I fished with the cork, I fished it only with a chartreuse or clear-flake beetle tied on a two foot leader.

Today, I seldom if ever fish the original cigar shaped cork. The more buoyant oval or cup shaped corks float a heavier jig and cast much easier. The key to making the cork more versatile is to not allow its lack of weight to dictate what bait you can fish under it. I never fish a jig head heavier than a quarter ounce and there are many days when I rig the tail on just a 4/0 Kahle hook for a slower fall.

The more expensive versions of the Mauler type cork are worth the money as they include a little more weight on the bottom of the wire running through the cork. The more flexible titanium wire also adds to the cost, but it will save you a lot of money over the long haul as the cheaper wire is stiff and crimps too easily.

I initially found that I had so many fish hitting the cork rather than the lure that I decided to add a split ring and treble hook to the cork itself and even went so far as to paint dots and stripes on a few of them. That proved to be both a bad and expensive idea. The trout would quickly tear the cork up with their teeth and the

redfish would demolish the entire rig every time they took a swipe at the cork!

To this day I continue to experiment with the Mauler rig and there seems to be no end to its versatility. I have shortened the wire, added beads, thrown away beads, added weight, and fished with leaders from one to six feet in length just to name a few of the more obvious changes. While I most often fish a tail under the cork, I am now convinced that any lure that will sink will work for certain applications.

Three years ago, on a cold miserable day, I even rigged a Corky under one of these corks for a client that would have rather been raking leaves than standing in waist deep water in Calcasieu lake. He was bored and was making very few casts anyway, so we just gave it a try rather than return to the boat and drink coffee while his buddies continued to fish.

You have to know that fishing a Corky properly requires some practice and a lot of patience as you are generally trying to dupe just one oversized trout that thinks the bait is a struggling mullet. I only mention that because Dale’s Corky was hanging vertically under the cork and only moved when he occasionally remembered his bait was in the water and popped the cork.

By the time I netted his sixth fish, a seven pound personal best, everyone in the group was wading back to the boat hoping to find another cork. We generally fish a plastic tail under the rig, but also do well this time of the year fishing a Crazy Croaker under the cork and it is really just a mini-version of the larger Corky.

Whether we are fishing it or not at the time, there is always at least one spinning rod rigged up with a Mauler type cork in my boat year round. I prefer to fish them with a seven foot medium action spinning rod and 20-pound test braided line. The no-stretch factor is very beneficial when setting the hook on a long cast as the cork already produces a lot of resistance.

It has been my experience when fishing the rig on a casting rod that backlashes are much too frequent at the end of a long cast. They can also be tough to cast in a stiff wind and that seems to be the norm on the open lake rather than the exception.

In hind sight, I guess my answer to Gary’s question should have been, “My toughest decision is when to switch from the cork to another technique rather than the other way around!”

Flat fish on the fly CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE

For The Record

Fall on Sabine Lake means many things to anglers, visions of giant trout crushing top water plugs and tailing redfish in the marsh. As grand as these visions are they don’t even come close to the fever pitch caused by the annual fall flounder run.

Sabine Lake has long been known as a great fishery and the backbone of that status was built on catching flounder. Anybody who reads outdoor publications knows this time of the year is one many of the writers and anglers who frequent Sabine Lake look forward to with great anticipation. This fall should be just as good.

Many anglers are well aware of different methods of catching flounder on both live bait and artificial lures. Everything from live mullet and shrimp to ultra-light jigs fished on spinning gear, they all work and they all catch fish.

One method that is steadily gaining popularity in the flounder fishing world is using fly fishing gear.

Most folks don’t realize how effective using fly gear can be when targeting flounder, there are some times this method can be a real fish producer. Fly casters have a distinct advantage when it comes to combing shorelines or probing marsh drains because they can follow up casts much quicker than a conventional angler.

A perfect example would be two anglers drifting down a shoreline, one is using a spinning rod and the other is using a fly rod. The angler throwing the spinning gear can make accurate casts and will catch their share of fish.

The problem with the spinning gear is that once the bait is out of the strike zone it takes valuable time to retrieve the lure and make another cast.

During the time it takes to retrieve and re-

cast the boat has now drifted a considerable distance. Now the fly caster on he other hand can flat out pick apart some shoreline.

By being able to pick up almost all the line that has been cast out a fly fisherman can keep their bait in the strike zone much longer than a conventional angler therefore they cover more water in a shorter period of time.

Unlike pursuing other fish like redfish and speckled trout a fly fisherman doesn’t have be able to cast a mile and put the fly on a button. Casting to flounder is more like casting to areas, little indentions in the bank or some sort of shoreline cover. The soft subtle presentation the fly offers is also a bonus when targeting flounder. Standard shrimp or crab patterns work well, especially those with dumbbell eyes that have some weight to them.

My favorite fly is called the Dr. Miller flexi jig and is sold exclusively at Orvis fly shops.

This little fly resembles the small jigs we throw on conventional tackle because it has a pair of synthetic rubber legs that look like a soft plastic. The #2 and #4 are the most useful sizes and they come in pink, white, and chartreuse.

“We sell a ton of these flies to our customers who target flounder” says Marcos Enriquez of the Orvis Company store in Houston. “Most anglers like how the fly is heavy enough to touch the bottom while not being too difficult to cast” adds Enriquez, “The hooks these flies are tied on are also plenty tough enough to penetrate the hard mouth of a flounder.”

Armed with the right attitude and a willingness to learn an angler can certainly up their odds of catching more flounder at certain times of the year with fly gear. The added weapon to your fishing arsenal makes you a better angler and gives you alternate choices for chasing your favorite fish, even if that fish is a flounder.
