OC vistors center nears completion

For The Record

The Record got a peek at the Orange County Convention and Expo Center, recently. It is nearing completion. Workers from Ramirez Tile Company were grouting tile in the kitchen during the personal tour of the facility conducted

by Franklin Walters, deputy emergency management coordinator. Kirk Guidry, with the Orange County Maintenance Department was taking pic-

tures of plumbing and various areas in the kitchen to record part numbers in a database for future replacement or repairs.

This week they are beginning the installation of appliances.

The ballroom and commercial kitchen will be available for rent once the facility opens, possibly in March. The ballroom has the capacity for 600 when set up as a banquet room. A cafeteria style serving line is part of the ballroom kitchen.

Flexible partitions are installed that can separate the ballroom in up to 12 smaller rooms. A stage will be installed on the north side of the room.

The entrance to the event center is on the north side of the building. “You can drive through and drop people off,” said Walters, referring to the covered entrance.

“If they had a wedding or Mardi gras ball, this is where they would make the entrance,” said Walters. You would turn to the right inside

The Ball room has enough room to seat a banquet of 600. Partitions can break the room in up to 12 smaller rooms for classes or seminars. Pictured is Deputy Emergency Management Coordinator Franklin Walters.

Jiu-Jitsu: the art of grappling

Debby Schamber Samuel David Sanford III, 35, of Bacliff, has been indicted in the Eastern District of Tex- SANFORD as, for the bank robbery of Chase Bank on December 19, 2012.

Sanford has been incarcerated since Dec. 21 in a Shreveport jail on drug charges.

He is also being held on an outstanding warrant from Galveston County with an aggravated robbery charge. It is also believed Sanford has committed other bank robberies in Louisiana.

The bank robbery charges in Orange stem from an

“There are other public entrances to the building, but this is the main one to enter the hall,” said Walters.

A committee appointed by commissioners is working on rates, policies and procedures for the Convention and Expo Center.

Paula Tacker, AgriLIFE extension agent said rental of the ballroom and kitchen will likely be handled through the AgriLIFE office.

The facility will also serve as the Emergency Management Command Center and a shelter of last resort in the event of a disaster occurring in Orange County such as another direct hit from a hurricane.

County offices of Texas AgriLIFE, health and code compliance, emergency management and road and bridge departments will also be housed in the new building.

Each department is secured from the others for safety and will utilize separate entrances to minimize public access to

After picking out a dress and being pampered, girls in foster care prepare for their prom night. Child Protective Services is collecting prom dresses to help make their night a memorable one.

Prom dresses for foster girls Debby Schamber For The Record

Every girl wants the chance to feel like a princess, even it is only for one night.

Girls in foster care are not any different, and most won’t ask their foster parents for the money needed to get their special dress and needed accessories.

However, for the eighth year in a row, Child Protective Services is collecting “trendy instyle” prom attire through the end of February. They are not only looking for prom dresses, but also jewelry and shoes to complete a young girl’s

night to remember. CPS would also like donations of new make-up, evening bags and gift cards. Monetary donations are also accepted to help with the costs of putting on the prom night.

Not only will the donation make a girl’s dream come true, but will give someone the chance to make room in their closet by getting rid of their gently used dress.

Each year about 50 girls arrive to pick out their dresses along the racks of dresses.

With their new dress picked out, they find the “bling”

“Jiu-jitsu is for everyone, but not everyone is for jiu-jitsu, “ said Cliff Hargrave, instructor of one of the only four training classes in Southeast Texas.

The classes require hard work, effort and dedication but the point of them is to enforce personal development and self-defense.

Hargrave began his interest in martial arts when he was 13 years old, but in 1996 began to include Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Hargrave earned his black belt in 2011. To obtain a black belt, there are stringent requirements and it is a lengthy process.

Hargrave has a full time job as a captain at the Orange Police Department, but says he does Jiu-jitsu because he “loves it.” The jiu-Jitsu community may be small, but there is a camaraderie like none other.

“There are three attributes to Jiu-jitsu,” Hargrave said.

“They are mental, physical and technical.”

Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defense system which focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. BJJ promotes the concept a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique and taking the fight to the ground.

Jiu-Jitsu came to interna-

tional prominence in the martial arts community in the early 1990s, when Brazilian jiu-jitsu expert Royce Gracie won the first, second and fourth Ultimate Fighting Championships, which at the time were single elimination martial arts tournaments.

Gracie, who is small in stature, often fought against

much larger opponents who were practicing other styles, including boxing, shootfighting, Muay Thai, karate, wrestling, judo and tae kwon do.

It has since become a staple art for many Mixed Martial Arts fighters and is largely credited for bringing wide-

Court views presentation on MARAD Layberth project Debby Schamber For The Record

John Frazier from McCarthy Building Companies Inc. and Billy Greer from the Maritime Administration gave a slide show presentation on the MARAD Beaumont Layberth Facility construction project that will be built on the Orange County side of the Neches River. They were seeking a waiver of the permit fees for the Maritime Administration.

Frazier said most of the subcontracting will be using local labor.

The facility will house up to eight government ships waiting for deployment. “They will

be kept in operational status, ready to go at a moment’s notice.”

“The facility consists mostly of mooring and a pier facility.

There will be two piers house the eight ships. Most of the structures will be built out on the water. There will be a minor portion that will be out on land,” said Frazier. “The landside structures really just include a road at this time.”

Frazier said the road project is a three and a half mile road coming off Church House Road. “The roadway design is meant to accomplish 100 large trucks per day in order to load and unload the cargo should

the ships need to leave for the sea.” There will be eight berths for “roll on, roll off” ships and spaces for four other types of ships according to Frazier.

Frazier said the project is set up for expansion by the government at a future time. He said there is quite a bit of electrical power onshore for this phase of the job. Later expansion may include a potable water well and sewage treatment plant. “The site will be completely self-contained,” said Frazier. They are looking at a construction window of April through December of this year. Currently they are waiting on permit from the Corps of Engineers on environmental issues to begin construction.

To show the economic impact of the project, Frasier said there will be 80 to 90 permanent employees to maintain the ships.

“These ships are owned by the federal government,” said Greer. “We will not actually

load the ships here. We will be maintaining them and activating them. What we do is keep a 10 man reduced operating status crew on board. When we get the phone call to activate the ship, to load military cargo, that’s when we bring in the balance of the crew and bring in all the groceries to the ship.” Greer said the ships are not loaded with military cargo at the berth; they will sail to one of three strategic ports to load, such as Beaumont.

Frasier said the employees are seaman, but since the ships are permanently moored here, they frequently bring their families with them and live in the local economy. Also, much of the work and supplies required to maintain the ships will be acquired locally.

The facility will actually be owned by the Department of Transportation Maritime Administration.

Precinct 3 Commissioner John Banken showed great

concern on the potential damage to Church House Road from large trucks traveling on it frequently.

County Engineer Clark Slacum said he didn’t foresee a problem with Church House Road.

Banken said, “I’m 100 percent for the facility, but I’m concerned about that road.”

Judge Carl Thibodeaux asked Joel Ardoin if the county has waived any fees since the Industrial permit fee was put in place. Ardoin said not to his knowledge. The fee would be around $17,000. The project has an expected cost of $34 million.

Banken moved to table the issue for one week so he can further study the issue and look at the possibility of requiring a road bond. He said a large number of heavy trucks could damage the road and the county doesn’t have the money to rebuild it. “I don’t think the citizens should have to pay for

that,” said Banken.

Frazier said a one week delay would not be a problem.

In other business the court approved Commissioner Precinct 4 Jody Crump’s suggestion to implement a county austerity committee to get a head start on tackling and pinpoint budget issues before it comes time to consider next year’s budget. “I don’t want it to become a high anxiety thing, I want it to be the exact opposite,” said Crump. He said discussions in smaller groups without all the commissioners present will make people feel more relaxed where they can discuss and offer cost saving suggestions that would be brought to the court when action is needed. Commissioners appointed Crump and Banken to form the committee with a small number of department heads and elected officials they choose and may change as needed.

Thibodeaux said that would be a good way for Banken to get his feet wet and see what the county is facing. “You would get caught up pretty quickly on the budget issues we had last year.” Committee discussions could lead to workshops scheduled as issues and possible solutions come to light.

Commissioners authorized the Tax Assessor/Collector’s office to accept credit/debit cards over the counter for the payment of taxes and fees through Gov-Pay. The equipment has already been received and is in effect immediately. The county will receive the funds from Gov-Pay on a daily basis.

David Allan Roberts submitted his resignation from Orange County Emergency District #4 effective immediately.

Jan. 27 through Feb. 2 was designated as Catholic School Week. Students from St. Mary Catholic School were present to accept the proclamation.

Jiu-Jitsu spread attention to the importance of ground fighting, according to Hargrave.

“Five of the current UFC champions have jiujitsu backgrounds,” Hargrave said.

Under the teachings of Gracie, Hargrave teaches a class of about 25 adults with ages ranging from 15 through their 40s. He has also recently started a class for children ages six through 12. Gracie travels all over the world, but has been known to come to Orange as well.

Those who may think they are too small or too big to compete or participate in BJJ, need only to try.

It has been said, most of the advantage of a larger, stronger opponent comes from superior reach and more powerful strikes, both of which are mitigated when grappling on the ground, Brazilian jiu-jitsu emphasizes getting an opponent to the ground in order to utilize ground fighting techniques and submission holds involving joint-locks and choke holds. On the ground, physical strength can be offset or enhanced by an experienced grappler who knows how to maximize force using mechanical strength instead of pure physical strength.

BJJ permits a wide variety of techniques to take the fight to the ground after taking a grip.

While other combat sports, such as Judo and

From Page 1

Wrestling almost always use a take down to bring an opponent to the ground, in BJJ one option is to “pull guard.” This entails obtaining some grip on the opponent and then bringing the fight or match onto the mat by sitting straight down or by jumping and wrapping their legs around the opponent.

Once the opponent is on the ground, a number of maneuvers and counter-maneuvers are used to manipulate the opponent into a suitable position for the application of a submission technique, according to Hargrave.

A recent student of Hargrave’s, D.J. Vann, participated in a Jiu-Jitsu competition and won gold medals.

Another of Hargrave’s students, Jeremiah Gunter, has earned a purple belt with one stripe and won several MMA cage fights in 2009. He stopped competing for a while, but has recently restarted his training and hopes to be competing again in about a year. In addition, there are other students with goals of competing as well.

Classes have different skill levels and are on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. There are openings for additional people to join the class. For more information call 409-670-3755.

OC visitors center the entire building.

Each department’s offices are spacious and will offer plenty of room for growth.

In designing the building they tried to take every possibility into account. The hall off the ballroom is extra wide and lined with electrical outlets and data ports in case they are overrun with emergency personnel and first responders in an emergency situation. “You can have all the room in the world, or think you have, when everybody gets here to help you, you can have an overflow of people and you’ve got to put them somewhere,” said Walters. “We can put tables against the walls and they can work right here and you still have room to walk. You have data and power every 13 feet all down the halls in the entire building,” said Walters.

The main restrooms also have shower facilities, but they will be blocked off except for sheltering situations. There will also be commercial washers and driers installed in the shower room. The plumbing chase for the restrooms is as wide as a hall, so workers should have plenty of room to work if plumbing problems occur.

In a sheltering situation the other areas of the building containing county offices will be essentially shut down for security purposes.

Those sheltered would not have access to the

Prom dresses for foster girls needed to make the look complete. The girls are treated to a day of pampering while the boys also have a day of fun. At the end of the day, all are ready for their special night which is for all the high school age foster children to attend. Like proms at local high schools, a king and queen is crowned.

There are plenty of smiles and laughter mingled in with the music as they dance.

According to Shari Puliam, public information officer with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, the girls are transformed during the night out celebration and their attitude becomes one of gratitude.

Once the party is over, the girls take home their new attire so they can use it at the

incident when a caller called the Orange Police Department about what they had witnessed.

As a result, officers were dispatched to Chase Bank, located 3109 North 16th Street in reference to a robbery.

When officers arrived they were informed of the suspect entering the bank and demanding money. The man left the bank and got into a 2000 model, Ford F-150, single cab pickup, with an undetermined

amount of money. The pickup was last seen traveling north on 16th Street towards Interstate 10 and heading towards Louisiana.

Police were informed by a witness at the scene of the robbery that they had spotted a vehicle and the suspect acting suspiciously.

Within a few days, OPD was contacted in reference to Sanford being arrested in Shreveport.

rest of the building. “They won’t be able to get to the other offices unless they’re escorted from point A to point B,” said Walters.

AgriLIFE offices are located just inside the front doors facing Farm Road 1442. Besides a large reception area that will house two secretaries, there are four offices for agents, which allows for growth.

“The LEPC, Local Emergency Planning Committee has been a partner with us throughout all this,” said Walters, “because the judge is mandated to have an LEPC in every county in the state of Texas. So we kinda gave them a room.” They have to have meetings and training on a regular basis and they have to bounce the meetings around from facility to facility.

The meeting room supplied at the shelter will also become the Orange County training room.

If there were too many people to use the training room, then they can use the ballroom. The LEPC is made up of all industry, fire, police and any type of response agency. The LEPC will supply all the technology and furnishings needed for their room.

Once the building is finished and departments are moved in, a grand opening will be planned to debut the Orange County Convention and Expo Center to the citizens

THE WEEK AHEAD AND SPECULATIONS Well, its Super Bowl week and many football fans are planning a party. Buffalo wings are selling out. Most fans I talk to would like the Baltimore Ravens to win but say the San Francisco 49ers will. They’re a three point favorite. *****Last Sunday night possibly the last Pro-Bowl game to be played in Hawaii. The NFC beat the AFC, 62-35. Orange native Earl Thomas intercepted a pass for the NFL but even better than that is that Earl is always an ambassador for his hometown.

When players are recognized, most say the name of the college they attended, Earl always says Orange, Texas, giving us national recognition.*****This Friday will be Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s last day on the job. She has traveled over a million miles, to 121 countries, as many as three in the same day. History will treat her well; as probably our best Secretary of State ever. Many are wondering if she will run for president in 2016, no one knows, probably not even her. If she runs she has a good chance of winning. Vice-president Joe Biden, the most qualified to ever serve as vice president, would be a good president but for the sake of history he would step aside and let the first woman ever have a chance at being elected. Most women I know say they would vote for her. *****The Republican Party is complaining that President Obama is trying to annihilate them. He doesn’t need to with the help of Talk Radio and FOX News, they are destroying themselves. Like Gov. Bobby Jindel says, they need to act like adults and quit being the “Stupid Party.”*****One of President Obama’s re-election priorities is immigration reform.

Now it might be gaining traction. A bi-partisan senate committee, including Sen. John McCain, who in four years has never supported an Obama policy, is on board. The hang up for real reform will probably be the obstructionist Tea Party in the Congress. They don’t want anything bi-partisan. They are radical and only an election will change that. However, most are safe in their gerrymandered districts. We got one of those, a real extremist who lives in Houston and represents normal people in Orange County. *****I’ve got to move on.

Come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm.

A BRIGHTER FUTURE The first month of 2013 is behind us. It’s time to look at what the remainder of the year might hold. Despite all the predictions of doom and gloom by the Talking Heads, our economy continues to improve. The Do-Nothing congress sat on their hands for four years in hopes a bad economy would help to defeat President Obama. That didn’t work.

Now that their main goal is down the drain, hopefully the three branches of government can somehow find a way to break the gridlock. Even though I have yet to hear one GOP Talking Head mention job creation. That doesn’t seem to be a priority. The stock market nears an all time high and there is still room for it to climb. The Standard and Poor’s 500 closed last Friday above 1500 for the first time since 2007.

That’s four percent from its all time high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is just two percent shy of it’s record. The number of Americans seeking unemployment aid fell last week to the lowest level in five years. Companies have oceans of cash and should start buying other companies and start hiring again. Investors seem more confident now than in December. Rising stock prices boost consumer confidence, which is important for future economic growth. Car sales, new home sales, start ups and sales of existing homes are way up and the trend should continue at least until May when the fight over the debt ceiling starts all over again. Locally, the job market is expected to grow. Consumer spending, reflected by state sales tax payments to local entities from the state have steadily grown over the past year. Local business owners say they are seeing more traffic and feel confident that 2013 will be a turn around year, with a brighter local economic future. Maybe, just maybe, the worst of times are behind us and before long happy days will be here again.

IDOL’S LOCAL CONNECTION Kree Harrison auditioned for American Idol at the Oklahoma auditions. I’m not sure when that show will air; it could be Jan. 30th or later. Kree has a lot of relatives in Orange County. Her mother, Kathy Roberts, who was killed in an auto accident when Kree was 16 years old, was Wilson Robert’s daughter. Kree’s father, a Bridge City native, was killed in a plane crash when she was 12 years old. She has been singing since she was 8 years old and appeared on the Rosie O’Donnell show and other talk shows. Most of Kree’s younger years were spent in Woodville as well as Bridge City and she entertained in the area. Kree has a good, strong voice and could make it through to Hollywood. She now makes her home in Nashville. Her grandfather has not seen her in some time. You can see some of her videos by searching her name on YouTube.

TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME 14 Years Ago-1999 The country prepares for Super Bowl XXXIII between Atlanta and Denver. This will be John Elway’s fifth Super Bowl appearance. He’s the oldest quarterback to ever start a Super Bowl. Falcon Coach Dan Reeves will be playing against his former team, the Broncos. However, on the Falcons is exBronco Shane Dronett, from Bridge City. Shane was born Jan. 12, 1971, at Orange Memorial Hospital. His mother Candance Breeden said she had wanted a girl but the nurse brought in a big, baby boy. He weighed 9 pounds and 14 ounces and was 23.5 inches long, just short of two feet. Candance had never seen such a big baby. Shane played junior high football at West Orange-Stark but moved to Bridge City to live with his dad, Carl Dronett, so he could play football at Bridge City. His parents had divorced when he was an infant. Since being in Atlanta, Shane and high school friend, Ty Gipson, opened a sports art gallery. Now they have three galleries in the country. The Super Bowl was played in Miami. (Editor’s note: Shane’s #75 jersey is retired at Bridge City High School. Shane, who was a fearless football player, both at Texas and in the pros, took a lot of blows to his head. Like so many other professional football players, Shane took his own life a few years ago.)*****Former Bridge City coach and trainer Moe Litton is inducted in the Southeast Texas Hall of Honor. Litton lined up with Joe Washington, Bum Phillips, Alex Durley, Pappy Drennan and Darrel Shaver as 1999 inductees.*****Insurance agent Bill Nickum was honored with the Sam Walton Business Leader award. Nickum was among 650 business people nationwide selected by Wal-Mart. *****More than 1,400 Washington White House staffers voted Tom DeLay the “Meanest Man in Congress.” Another Texan, Dick Armey, ran a close second.*****The James Byrd Jr. dragging trial, in Jasper, starting this week will dominate the news for the next month.*****Pinehurst Mayor Pete Runnels, attending Orange County Day in Austin, brought a batch of Robert’s famous boudain. Skipper Free said she found the Orange group at the Marriot Hotel by following the smell of the Boudain. That was a big hit. A few in attendance were Orange Mayor Essie Bellfield, West Orange Mayor Roy McDonald, Sheriff Mike White, Bridge City Mayor John Dubose, County Judge Carl Thibodaux, Commissioner Sue Bearden, Judge Don Burgess, Judge Buddie Hahn, Orange Chamber and Lamar President Michael Shahan, Bridge City Chamber President Marialeice Saucier and Beth Rach.

We wish him the best. *****Stanley Frank “Stan” Musial was born Nov. 21, 1920. “Stan the Man” died Jan. 19, 2013. He was 92 years of age. I had been familiar with him since I was a young boy. Radio regularly carried the St. Louis Cardinal games. I was a devoted fan and Stan didn’t disappoint. He played in three World Series championships. He had 3630 hits, 1951 RBI’s, 24 All Star games and was Most Valuable Major League Player three times. He was a World War II hero. The Hall of Famer was a hero to young boys in the 1940’s and 50’s and some f the 60’s. May he rest in peace. *****The Wednesday Lunch Bunch dined at Novrozsky’s last week. The Bunch learned a lot from Commissioner David Dubose, who is the new South East Texas Regional Planning president. He will also preside over several planning commissions. The Lunch Bunch dines at Robert’s this week and Novrozsky’s next. Everyone is always welcome.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Clotelle and Sostan Thibodeaux’s chillums got together and bought dere mama and papa a two weeks vacation trip to Australia for dere 50th wedding anniversary. Dey flew out from New Orleans.

Bout ten hours in da flight, da public address system come on, “Dis is da captain speaking, I’m afraid me, I got some very bad news. Our engines dem, have ceased functioning. I will attempt an emergency landing. Luckily I see an uncharted island below wit a beach. However, we may never be rescued and will have to live on dat island all our lives.”

Thanks to the skill of Capt. Trahan, the plane land safely on dat island. A little later Sostan, him, axe Clotelle, “Babe, did you pay our Visa and Master Card bill yet?”

Clotelle answer, “Mai no Sha.” Sostan still shook up from da crash axe, “Did you pay American Express?”

“I’m sorry, I forgot,” Clotelle answer.

Sostan say, “One las ting, did you remember to send the installment payment to da IRS dis month?”

“Oh, forgive me Sostan,” begged Clotelle, “I didn’t sent dat either.”

Sostan grab Clotelle and give her a big kiss like on dere honeymoon. Clotelle pull away and axe, “Wat was that for, hanh?”

Sostan answer, “Dey gonna find us dem.”

C’EST TOUT Final thoughts, I won’t be here with you to see it but my prediction is that if immigration reform passes, it will be good for now, but 20 years from now we will be begging immigrates to come. The birth rate in the United States and Mexico is falling fast. By 2030, we will run short of workers if not before. The immigration argument will be just the opposite of today. *****Barbara Walters. 83, has Chicken Pox and has been in the hospital. Proof that childhood disease follow you always. A childhood blow to the head often shows up later in life too. The Shingles virus is something that is there just waiting, if you’re lucky it will never show up. *****At the hearing last week Secretary of State Hillary Clinton looked like the wise professor while the senators and congressmen, for five hours, appeared very amateurish with an axe to grind.*****I understand Capital One Bank, in downtown Orange, will be shutting down on April 19. I don’t know what will become of the glass building. Capital One will still have the bank on Highway 87. *****It looks like Sarah Palin has run her course. She made a lot of money and is now wealthy. She’s history however, as far as having a voice on the national scene. *****My time is up, thanks for yours. Please read us cover to cover and shop our family of advertisers.

KOCB sells Litter Button banners Keep Orange County Beautiful hopes to sell 50 banners to local businesses for $25 each promoting their “Litter Button” on their Website: www.kocb.org. Their hope is that each banner will generate 10 hits of the “Litter Button,” which would mean 500 litterers in the State of Texas would be notified by the Texas Department of Transportation of their illegal activity.

If you see someone littering, take down the time, date and place of the littering and the license plate of the vehicle. Report the activity by going to www.kocb.org and hit the litter button.

Fill in the information which is then sent to TxDOT. The offending litterer will be sent a letter reminding them it is illegal to litter in the State of Texas. They will also receive a litter bag for their car and a Don’t Mess With Texas sticker.

To purchase a banner, contact a member of KOCB or visit their Website.

Bass bite warming up on T-bend COLBURN-FISHING CAPT. DICKIE COLBURN FOR THE RECORD

“I don’t get up to the Chicken Coop enough to even guess how much longer the crappie bite will last,” reported John Mires, “but it has slowed down for me with the muddy runoff out of the major creeks. ”Mires added that they had 23 and 19 fish on their last two trips and all of their crappie were caught on shiners.

He was also quick to add that it was time to bass fish anyway. “We spent a lot of time this past week fishing four to twelve feet of water that had surface temperatures in the high fifties in the more protected coves. We had a lot of rain this past week and the water is just the right color as far as I am concerned.”

I talked with some very good bass fishermen that drove over to Daley’s to talk with Ish Monroe last Wednesday and most of them agreed that the bite on T-Bend seemingly turned on overnight. Because the majority of them compete on one or more tournament circuits they weren’t into being quoted, but there was a common theme to their recent findings.

Grass or no grass, the longer points that extend out into deeper water at the mouth of major creeks were attracting larger numbers of bass every day If there is a good grass line so much the better, but it didn’t seem to make a big difference even as far as the size of the bass.

They caught bass this past week on everything from finesse worms to jerk baits, but most of them were fishing a Trap at some point during the day. You can catch fish simSEE COLBURN PAGE 3B

Keying in on structure spells success OUTDOORS WEEKLY CHUCK UZZLE FOR THE RECORD

In many ways our freshwater counterparts have it made; no tides to worry about, no fish stealing sharks, and you couldn’t step on a sting ray if you tried. The saltwater folks on the other hand have plenty of positives as well like how many hard pulling species of fish one can encounter on a single trip, or the simple fact that you have the potential to hook a creature that may indeed be bigger than your boat. Both sides have great arguments that back up their claims to being the best

bite going.

One thing the freshwater folks have that we don’t is an overabundance of fishable structure, or do they?

Saltwater structure varies in many ways and can be as simple or complex as you want to make it. For instance let’s talk shallow structure, small very minor depressions in a flat can be called structure because they fit the mold. Structure is something different in an area that fish relate to

or use for certain purposes like food or shelter. The small depressions can offer fish an opportunity to escape a stronger tide or aid them in ambushing baitfish, they are structure.

More noticeable structure could be grass lines or other vegetation growing in or near the water. Some grass can actually help you find certain types of structure like underwater points. Along the banks of the Sabine River we have a certain spartina like grass that grows along the shore, each place where this grass grows usually indicates a shallow point that runs out into the river. Points like these are fish magnets; we have had

some incredible days fishing the down current sides of these areas and we continue to use them still.

Now a more classic version of structure for saltwater fishermen are reefs made from various types of shell such as oyster, clam or mussel. These areas are perhaps the most targeted pieces of structure in all the bay systems along the gulf coast. A good productive reef can and will attract plenty of attention from both fish and fishermen. Each bay has its own big name reefs where fishermen congregate regardless of whether the SEE UZZLE PAGE 2B

contend with a few more rules so this technique is a little more difficult to pull off.

It is my understanding that you just can’t go out and start dumping shell or rocks in a bay and make an artificial reef, if this was legal you can bet there would be some folks out there who would just go crazy with the practice. I will say however I have found wooden pallets, box springs, bathtubs, and even commodes make great artificial reefs when you find them sunk in a particular area. How these items got to where they are I don’t know, all I can say that they hold fish and can certainly be classed as fishable structure. I can just see it now the next time I catch a bunch of fish telling everyone “yeah that commode and bathtub pattern is really holding strong.” Only an upper coast Cajun could appreciate a report like that.

Kaz: Forbe’s top fanchises but for the honor of being the best coach in the Harbaugh family.

However, in the National Football League, success of a franchise isn’t defined solely by winning, according to an article written by Loren Steffy that appeared in the Houston Chronicle business section earlier this month.

In fact, according to Forbes magazine, two of the top five most valuable franchises in the NFL are located in our Lone Star State—the Dallas Cowboys being ranked first with a value of $2.1 billion and the Houston Texans at No. 5 with a net worth of $1.31 billion.

Forbes rankings are 1. Dallas Cowboys ($2.1 billion) 2.

New England Patriots ($1.64 billion) 3.Washington Redskins ($1.6 billion) 4. N.Y. Giants ($1.47 billion) 5. Houston Texans ($1.31 billion) 6. N.Y. Jets ($1.28 billion) 7. Philadelphia Eagles ($1.26 billion) 8.

Chicago Bears ($1.19 billion) 9. San Francisco 49ers ($1.18 billion) 10. Green Bay Packers ($1.16 billion).

Texans President Jamey Rootes said that the team focused on building a loyal fan base as a key to its business success producing strong ticket sales even for an expansion team.

Despite the fact it took nearly a decade for the Texans to qualify for the NFL playoffs, the loyal fans never gave up hope. Now they’re gunning for the ultimate, to be where the Ravens and 49ers are this week—the elusive Super Bowl.

“We’ve tried to be more than just wins and losses,” Rootes is quoted in Steffy’s article.

“We’ve always sold out. Now from a team performance perspective, we’ve really put it all together.”

The Texans were a success long before they ever produced a winning season. The franchise should remain among the most valuable in the NFL because of an economic foundation that many other professional teams would envy.

The team is driven by a strong local economy, corporate sponsorships and a loyal fan base that has generated strong ticket and suite sales.

Reliant Stadium is another element of the Texans’ success story. Nearly two-thirds— about $289 million-- of the facility was funded by public money through ticket surcharges, parking fees, percentages of hotel and auto rental taxes, and a sales-tax rebate on in-stadium spending, according to Steffy’s article.

In other cities, taxpayers may directly shoulder more of the burden, but in Houston, the stadium is primarily paid

for by people who attend the games and by visitors to the city.

NFL team values calculated

by Forbes include equity and debt, so the public financing component has a huge impact on the value. And although half of Forbes 10 most valuable teams made the 2013 playoffs—Houston, New England, Washington, Green Bay and San Francisco—a winning season doesn’t necessarily define a team’s value.

The Lone Star State’s other franchise—the Dallas Cowboys—shot up to the top of the list in value at $2.1 billion— despite its mediocre 8-8 record this season-- when owner Jerry Jones built his palatial stadium in Arlington.

He paid $150 million for the team in 1989 and the Cowboys retained their value despite a dramatic downswing in playoff appearances since their last Super Bowl victory in 1996.

Over time a team’s record can begin to affect its value.

After Jones built his glitzy stadium, he immediately raised prices for season tickets and suites in the new stadium. But with a storied franchise that was called America’s Team for so long, these fans paying those exorbitant prices expect championships.

Jones has hired and fired several head coaches, coordinators and position coaches, but mostly to no avail. And if the team doesn’t start winning consistently, fans may begin to defect, forcing the flamboyant owner to cut prices when existing suite leases expire in a few years.

Another red flag that signifies the Cowboys’ value may be backsliding is that Jones hasn’t found a name sponsor for the most opulent venue in pro sports, which probably already has cost him in the neighborhood of $100 million, according to Erickson Partners, a valuation and advisory firm that specializes in sports teams.

“He (Jones) tried to squeeze the last dollar out, and wound up losing the bet,” commented Don Erickson, president of the firm. “He’s not doing so well compared to what he could have been doing when he built that stadium.”

As a result, Erickson predicts that in the next five years New England or Washington will surpass Dallas as the NFL’s most valuable team.

And meanwhile, as the Houston Texans continue to progress deep into the playoffs, they will likely add to the team’s long-term value, even after getting bounced from the playoffs in the second round for the second year in a row.

KWICKIES…I kind of felt

sorry for Orange native Earl Thomas in Sunday night’s Pro Bowl game played in Hawaii.

Although his NFC team was a huge winner over the AFC, 6235, the players were instructed by Commissioner Roger Goodell to play hard like the game meant something, but don’t hit anybody hard enough to hurt them. Poor Earl knows only one speed to play football, and that’s at full speed.

So it must have been difficult for him to be going at full throttle and then having to back off when making contact.

Anyhow, he played well, made a little extra money for being voted by his peers and fans to the Pro Bowl, and Orange County is very proud of him.

The high school basketball season is barely half-way over in district play and the crack of bats already can be heard around the various campuses as practice for the baseball season is already under way.

That must mean that spring is just around the corner, hopefully.

The hot-and cold Houston Rockets are meandering around the .500 mark and need to play a bit better to qualify for the playoffs in a couple of months. Hopefully they will catch fire and make a run at the Southwest Divisionleading San Antonio Spurs.

And while on the subject of basketball teams needing to start winning, the youthful Lamar Cardinals dropped to 0-8 in Southland Conference play when Central Arkansas clobbered the Redbirds 88-59 Saturday night in Conway. It was UCA’s first-ever victory over Lamar in 11 meetings.

The Cards committed 25 turnovers that resulted in 34 UCA points. Lamar’s season record dropped to a dismal 2-18.

On a brighter note for Lamar, senior Kalis Loyd scored 25 points to break a 21-year old scoring record, but it proved to be not enough as the Lady Cards lost to UCA 67-62 in overtime Saturday to drop to third place in the Southland Conference standings. Loyd needed only seven points to become the all-time scoring leader in Lamar women’s basketball history and her 25 led all scorers.

It looks like Tiger Woods is getting back to his old form as he won the Farmers Insurance Open last weekend by a fourstroke margin despite a oneday delay for fog and darkness.

It marked the seventh time he has won this event at Torrey Hills and the 40th time in 42 tourneys he won when leading after 54 holes.

UT Longhorn and A&M Aggie rivalry may be revived Staff Report For The Record

There’s no doubt that football in Texas is big, and now a state lawmaker wants to make at least one rivalry a legislative priority, the Houston Chronicle reports.

State Rep. Ryan Guillen, DRio Grande City, introduced a bill Monday that would require the University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University to revive their longstanding rivalry by meeting each year on the football field for a nonconference, regular season game.

House Bill 778, as filed, does not specify when the game should occur. That decision, the lawmaker’s spokeswoman said, should be left up to the Longhorns and Aggies.

“We would leave that (schedule) open to the schools,” said Rebecca Erickson, communications director at Guillen’s Office told the Houston Chronicle.

The decision to file the controversial bill was not hard to

make, according to the legislator.

“This game is as much a Texas tradition as cowboy boots and barbecue,” Guillen stated in a press release. “The purpose of this bill is to put the eyes of Texas upon our two greatest state universities to restore this sacred Texas tradition. I think the people of Texas want a game, and we’re trying to get them one.”

Guillen is a Texas A&M graduate.

Should the bill pass, which seems highly unlikely, the school that refused to participate would face restrictions on its athletic scholarships.

The two teams first played in 1894, when Texas easily won 38-0. The rivalry continued through the 2011 season, when A&M left UT and the Big 12 and moved to the Southeastern Conference. The Longhorns edged the Aggies 27-25 in College Station in the teams’ most recent meeting in November 2011.

There was no shortage of opinions Tuesday about the

proposed legislation.

“I think I speak for a great majority of Aggies in the state, that we’ve moved on,” said Houston lawyer Tony Buzbee, an A&M alumni. “We want to play the best in the country and we don’t want to be stuck playing the University of Texas. Our football team is on a meteoric rise, we have the Heisman Trophy winner (Johnny “Football” Manziel), and we’re building new stadium that will be the third largest in country. My point is that the University of Texas is in the rear-view mirror.”

Michael Ortiz, a 2009 UT grad, said he would welcome another match-up.

“I would love for more opportunities to just put the Aggies in their place, and let them know once and for all who rules Texas,” said Ortiz, a high school teacher who lives in Houston. “I find it funny that one good season entitles the Aggies to wipe away a history of mediocrity, not only at the national level but against the University of Texas.”

The Sporting News NFL Defensive Player of the Year, announced on Saturday. TSN’s annual awards are the only ones voted on by the coaches and players. Minnesota’s Adrian Peterson was voted the Offensive Player of the Year and Comeback Player of the Year

by TSN. Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III was Rookie of the Year.

Ozen head football coach Jeff Nelson was suspended for the first two games in the 2013 high school football season

by the University Interscholastic League last week for improperly practicing during the school day. The UIL determined that Ozen violated its two-year probation stemming from a 2011 post-playoff game fight when the Panthers practiced once last fall during school hours but outside the athletic period. The UIL extended Ozen’s probation to 2016 and left open accessing additional penalties for the latest infraction.

Fearless Forecast for Sunday’s Super Bowl is that I’ve been riding with perennial underdog Baltimore since before the playoffs, and I’m not going to abandon them now. The Ravens beat Denver and New England after being 9½-point underdogs so now that the odds have fallen from five to 3 ½ against the San Francisco 49ers, I look for a low-scoring contest with Baltimore coming through with a 21-17 upset victory.

No-fly zone over Superdome during Super Bowl XLVII Staff Report For The Record

During Super Bowl XLVII Sunday, the government will establish a no-fly zone centered on the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, and pilots have been warned already that entering the area without permission could bring anything from a talk with federal agents to civil fines to, worse, missiles. “The United States Government may use deadly force against the airborne aircraft, if it is determined that the aircraft poses an imminent security threat,” the FAA said Thursday in flight advisory, or “notice to airmen.”

Temporary flight restrictions will be in effect during hours before and after the game Sunday, meaning unauthorized aircraft will not be allowed within a 10-mile radius of the Super Dome, from the ground to 18,000 feet up, according to FAA documents.

That includes even hang gliders and hot-air balloons, according to the notice.

The only aircraft that will be allowed in the ring will be military, law enforcement, air ambulance and other authorized aircraft, such as regularly scheduled commercial airliners, all of which must coordinate with the FBI, according to the notice.

Preparing for the Sunday, the military and other federal agencies will conduct a training exercise Tuesday morning, practicing to protect the skies over the Superdome.

Weather permitting, Tuesday’s hour-long exercise is scheduled to begin at 7 a.m., and involves practicing the procedures military and other agencies will follow should an aircraft be flown to close to

the Superdome., according to a news release from the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD. Called “Falcon Virgo 13-Super Bowl,” the exercise is lead

by NORAD, whose fighter jets have routinely practiced aerial defense for large events since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The (U.S.) Government may use deadly force against the airborne aircraft, if it is determined that the aircraft poses an imminent security threa The Louisiana National Guard’s “Bayou Militia,” which has F-15 Eagle fighters based at the Naval Air Station-Joint Reserve Base in Belle Chasse, are expected to be involved.

As part of its work for NORAD, the 159th Fighter Wing has kept armed F-15s on alert at the air station since the terrorist attacks to protect the region’s skies.

The FAA, FBI, Customs and Border Protection, Civil Air Patrol, the 601st Air and Space Operations Center and NORAD’s Western Air Defense Sector are involved in the execise, according to a NORAD press release.

Lt. Gen. Sid Clarke, commander of the Continental U.S. NORAD Region, said in a statement that air defense requires “interagency coordination,” and that the Falcon Virgo exercise “is the perfect opportunity” for his command and other agencies involved “to work together honing our air defense skills before Sunday’s big game.”

If the weather is bad Tuesday, the exercise will happen Wednesday morning, NORAD said. If the weather is bad then, too, the agency will decide whether to postpone it or cancel it.

Night and Day

by Pearl Burgess

Earth is moving both night and day Changing brightness along the way, The sun will set and hide its light Darkness will come bringing night.

The moon reflects a subtle shine The silent creatures begin to dine, Crawling insects and hooting owls Join furry creatures on the prowl.

Life moves on like night and day Light to dark will come our way, A cycle of time is given each man Time on earth is a limited span.

The sun will set, our time complete Darkness waiting, for us to meet, God gave His Son, the future bright Just trust in Him for eternal light.
