The Penny Record of Bridge City and Orangefield • Founded 1960

BC’s Smalley to head Orangefield athletics Smalley said he’s familiar with the Orangefield program and its athletes. Though the Cardinals run the spread offense, he doesn’t plan to make any changes to the Slot-T offense the Bobcats run.

No matter what offensive or defensive scheme the Bobcats adopt, Smalley said the most important thing about coaching are the kids.

Coach Josh Smalley will be trading in his Cardinal red for the orange of the Bobcats.

Smalley, offensive coordinator for the Bridge City Cardinals will take over as head football coach and athletic director of Orangefield High School. He was named to the position Monday night at the meeting of the Orangefield board of trustees. He replaces Brian Huckabay who resigned in late May. Smalley said working in Orangefield offer him and his family an opportunity to coach without moving eight hours away from the area.

“I worked here before from 2006-2008 as offensive coordinator. I know a lot of people here,” Smalley said. “It’s a great place to be. The kids work hard, the community has a passionate fan base, the administration is good and the teaching is good.”

Also in attendance with Smalley was his wife, Kim, and three stepsons.

Working in Bridge City,

a bound with them and that I love them as a coach,” he said.

Smalley said if he was asked six years ago he would become a head football coach and athletic director, he wouldn’t had believed it.

“ADs move around a lot. I want to be here a while and rebuild the program,” Smalley said.

In addition to football, Smalley has also coached

track, power lifting, basketball, baseball and softball.

One of the first things he wants to do as coach is to meet his players and welcome them and also ask them to call their friends to attend. The program was running three teams when Smalley first worked for the district instead of currently running two teams.

“I want to get participation up. I want them prepared as

much as possible physically and mentally as possible in the off season so they’ll be ready in a game,” he said. “I want to create a family type atmosphere and create excitement and fun. I want to stay with what we have here. We have a good system for the kids.

Smalley said his wife is just as excited for him as he is.

“She has made sacrifices for SMALLEY RETURNS PAGE 3A

With the Shelter of Last Resort now 65 percent completed in the construction process, Orange County Commissioners can start thinking what to do when the project is completed.

Jeff Kelley, emergency management coordinator, reported on the status of the structure being built on FM 1442 at the Monday afternoon meeting of the Orange County Commissioners’ Court.

“It will be important to

know what to call the building when its completed.

We’re specking for a sign for the building. Maybe we DUBOSE can call it the Orange County Building and Expo Center,” Kelley said.

Friendly rivalry offers mutual support to State UIL teams Penny Leleux

For The Record

Mona Bradford has spent the last three years as the UIL Spelling coach for Orangefield. Diane Grooders has been the Literary Criticism coach for Bridge City for six years. Though they are from rival schools, the two coaches pull for each other’s team.

Both teams recently competed in the UIL State Meet. Orangefield came in 2nd place, just seven points behind the winners. Bridge City swept the competition in all categories.

“We took everything,” said Grooder. “We beat the 4A, 5A, 1A, 2A and 3A. They were on fire!”

Grooder said she and Bradford met through a mutual friend, another teacher. They got to know each other at competition. Grooder said

Bradford called her one summer and asked “How do ya’ll study?” Grooder asked the same question of Bradford.

They started talking and became friends.

“Even though we are rivals, we encourage each other. Her team is phenomenal,” said Bradford.

Until Bradford started coaching Spelling, Orangefield didn’t even have a team.

“I would credit Brea Crane as kinda starting it, because she started studying like a week before [the competition] and she made it to regional’s, by herself,” said Bradford.

“The person that was coaching had a death in the family, so they asked if I would go and take Brea and be the grader.

If you have a participant, you have to have a grader.” BradFRIENDLY RIVALRY PAGE 3A

The Gulf Fritillary or Passion Butterfly, is a striking, bright orange butterfly prevalent in Bridge City and Orangefield during summer. It takes its name from migrating flights of the butterflies sometimes seen over the Gulf of Mexico. Its range extends from Argentina through Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean to the southern United States, as far north as the San Francisco Bay Area on the west coast.

Search for missing man renewed Debby Schamber For The Record

For any parent the death of their child is a difficult time in their life, but for the parents of Joshua Parrott they not only struggle to deal with his absence but also seek answers in the case and the location of his body.

While most Southeast Texans were planning backyard barbecues during the Memorial Day weekend in 2010, life for the Parrot family was about to change Joshua Parrott, 22, was reportdrastically. At about 3 p.m. ed missing in May 2010. on May 28th of the fateful weekend, Joshua Parrot, 22, with the Orange County entered the Country Pan- Sheriff’s Office.

“This was the last place he try convenience store on Orange Street in Vidor. He was seen,” Jacobs said.

Parrott’s vehicle was asked to use the phone bearound the corner on cause of problems with his vehicle, but was referred to a Sargeant Street and was later pay phone outside the store impounded to be processed where he called his wife, for evidence.

Parrott’s sister, Brittany, Heather. Video from the store captured the events, called her brother’s wife to according to Joey Jacobs inform her of the vehicle’s

location and she felt Joshua was missing. Heather then called the OCSO to file a missing persons report. At the time the marriage between Heather and Joshua Parrot was “strained” and he was known for leaving for days at a time.

Heather Parrott appeared on local television stations tearfully pleading for information for the safe return of her husband.

Following the holiday, Jacobs began investigating the case by processing the vehicle and conducting interviews “From the start the investigation was difficult because of the information given,” Jacobs said.

At times there were at least five different avenues the case pointed to, but investigators would make a choice to proceed although MISSING PERSON PAGE 2A

me. She’s excited more than anything,” he said.

Huckabay stated in a prior article he submitted a letter of resignation to the school board due to surgery on his knee.

“It’s in our best interest,” he said. “I had knee replacement surgery and I need to recover from that. I didn’t want to still be recovering in late June and put the kids in a bad situation (with the start of football season) and have a distraction.”

He had his contract extended at a board meeting on March 27.

In other personnel matters, Shaun McAl-

pin, principal of Orangefield High School, was named as assistant superintendent of business services and financial operations at Monday night’s meeting.

Kay Karr, interim school superintendent, said the business superintendent keeps the school district afloat.

“We’re excited for him,” she said. “He’s a really talented young man and a high achiever.”

Karr said the downside is a void is created at the high school and whoever replaces McAlpin has some big shoes to fill.

According to Jacobs there was a lot of deception from a lot of different angles and like almost any other murder case it is nearly impossible to get 100 percent accurate information on the events that have unfolded.

One by one they worked to rule out the various avenues with supporting evidence.

Polygraphs were given to some of the people related to the case.

“Some passed and some failed,” Jacobs said. “Those who failed supported the evidence we had.”

Since the investigation began, hundreds of statements have been obtained and about 400 people have been interviewed, according to Jacobs.

progress in this case over the last five months,” he added.

“We have physical evidence that supports the recent statements gotten.”

Jacobs added they have suspects in mind and are working to collect evidence to support their case.

Investigators meet frequently with Sheriff Keith Merritt to discuss their cases.

Working on this case is not only the OSCO, but also the FBI, DEA, ATF and Texas Rangers. Together they work as a team.

Mary and Scott, Joshua Parrott’s parents, are the first to admit their son was not an angel and had occasional brushes with law enforcement.

However, he was passionate and loyal to his sisters, mom, step-father and mother.

“He was basically a good kid,” Mary Parrott said.

The Parrotts not only want to see this case to the end but also want to know where Joshua’s body is located. At this point there is “no closure.”

Jacobs is determined and dedicated to his efforts to solve this case. He doesn’t feel this is a “cold case” but only one yet to see justice served and “without a doubt will be solved.”

“We will not be just prosecuting those responsible for his death, but for those facilitating the crime as well,” Jacobs said.

Anyone with any information is encouraged to contact their local law enforcement agency or the OSCO at 409769-6391. Information can also be emailed to Jacobs at jjacobs@co.orange.tx.us.

county offices and the other half will be a meeting and convention room. The state’s share for the shelter is $1.1 million while the county’s share is $215,000.

He added the facility will be in constant use and operated by the county. Rules and regulations also need to be developed.

Precinct 3 Commissioner John Dubose said he attended an event at the facility in Brazos County and he was impressed. He thinks Orange County should contact them on how they operate their facility.

Thibodeaux, likewise, believes Montgomery County has an excellent website Orange County could utilize for how they run their facility.

Precinct 2 Commissioner Owen Burton asked Kelley if an emergency situation arises, such as a hurricane, would that supersede any events held at the facility. Kelley said it would.

Another concern Kelley reported to the court was wildfire season in Texas is beginning to “kick up.”

In other county business, commissioners approved entering into an Inter-local Agreement with Jefferson and Chambers County to contract Carroll & Blackman, Inc. for work required for new Texas Commission on Environmental Quality compliance. Pesticide General Permit Implementation Services provided by Carroll & Blackman will be divided equally between participating entities and cost each entity $13,618.67 for 2012.

Patrick Beebe, director of the mosquito control district, said his department will be using the pesticides while the Road and Bridge and Maintenance Departments will be using the

From Page 1

herbicides. Each of the entities share will be $9,300 per year for the services.

Beebe further reported for the month of May, the Orange County Mosquito Control District had 22 service calls. Adult mosquito activity levels were low, to moderate, to high in areas of the county during the course of the month. Activity levels varied according to location. No mosquito disease activity has been found to date in areas checked.

Larval development is low to normal. The highest concentrations were found in the area roadside septic ditch locations checked for 500 larvae per dip on the east side of the county.

There were 104 ground treatments, yielding a total of 86,563 acres treated, there were 20 larviciding treatments for abatement of mosquito concentrations found developing in roadside septic and gray water ditches and nine aerial sprays, yielding a total of 20,480 acres treated.

Beebe requested from the court the approval of $100,000 for aerial spray, $2,500 to rent a forklift and $6,000 to pay for employees’ overtime pay to last the department until the end of the fiscal year. He added the department had to work in the usually inactive months of December, January and February.

Precinct 4 Commissioner Jody Crump asked Beebe when his department would run out of aerial spray. He answered going beyond two weeks from Monday may become a problem.

Dubose suggested a front-end loader may work for the mosquito district rather than the expense of renting a forklift. The commissioners will take up the matter at a later date.

Sure Catch Seafood located at 605 W. Roundbunch, across from the Bridge City Community Center, along with the Bridge City Chamber of Commerce celebrated with a ribbon cutting on June 6, 2012. Sure Catch Seafood officially opened their doors on February 10, 2012, to a

Friendly rivalry ford said, “I think I was asked so they could hook me to be the sponsor the next year and I took the bait.”

Brea did not place at regional, but the next year she said, “I really want to study.”

She brought in more participants the next year, plus Bradford would enquire of students, “Who’s a really good speller?” The first couple of tests they scored in the 30s. To win at state you need to score in the 90s. They have a list of 1500 words they have to learn each year. On each test 20 percent of the words are just random and not on the list.

“I believe in last minute cramming, studying,” said Bradford. She said if you still have about 120 words that are giving you trouble, if you focus for a few hours on those words you are bound to remember a couple of the them, which could make the difference in where you place.

“As long as you organize yourself and manage your time well; it definitely going to pay off in the end,” said one of the Orangefield team, Jenna Cook. “The biggest thing I’ve learned is perseverance because this year has been so busy with graduation.” She said the hardest part was finding time to study.

“Three years ago Giddings had not even heard of Orangefield, because Orangefield did not have a team. Now when we go to contest we get respect,” said Bradford “I’m an Orangefield graduate, the only piece of jewelry I’ve worn for 30 something years is my Orangefield ring. I had to recently take it off when I broke my wrist because my hands were swollen. So for me, I want to give back to Orangefield.”

The first team she ever coached won the state title. She was hoping the same for this year, because her team went to the state competition undefeated. Three of the students placed at the state level for all 3A schools in the online competition. This year’s team consisted of Constance Ingram, Jenna Cook, Kimanh Tsan and Chase Tiller.

Of Grooders’ team, Bradford said, “She is the powerhouse in Literary Criticism. In my opinion, that is a hard contest, 10 times harder than spelling.”

The literary team consisted of: Jordan Smith, Jessica McKinney, Jessica Bean, and Dani Sanders. Besides coming in 1st as a team, individual winners were: Jordan Smith – 1st; Jessica McKinney - 2nd; and Jessica Bean – 3rd.

“She starts in the summer,” said Bradford of Grooders’ coaching technique.

“We read our novel, our play and all of our poetry for the year at least once during the summer,” said Grooder. “We meet after all of us have read what we need to read. If there is a film of the play, and this year there is because it’s ‘The Importance of Being Ernest,’ well then we have a movie day and watch that. If there is a film of the novel, and this year there just happens to be that because it’s “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter” by Carson McCullers. We’ll have a movie day and watch that. So that gets us started for the year.

“We analyze some of the poetry and once the year starts we meet twice a week as regular as clockwork. They just study, that’s our whole secret,” said Grooder. “I have now revealed our entire secret which is we just study. We make up tests for each other and Jeopardy games and all kinds of things. We study and we all get along and so it’s fun! These kids, it’s crazy, but the more they learn, the more they want to learn.

“If I could just get that through to all students that it’s like an addiction, you just want to learn more. Your brain loves it. It’s exercise just like working out! When State was over this year, they wanted the new books and were ready to start for the next year. They are so enthusiastic.

I love all of it, in fact this summer I’m going to Carson McCullers’ home in Georgia to kinda get the feel of all that. Hopefully I’ll learn something when I’m there to share with the kids and motivate them.”

“We don’t do it for the money,” said Bradford.

“I’m just really proud of our team, especially Dr. Bradford,” said Cook. “She truly puts so much into it. Sometimes she stresses herself out over it because there is so much going on, She’s truly the reason why we do as well as we do. She’s constantly pushing us, encouraging us to do our best.”

While Grooder is already preparing for next year, Bradford said this is probably her last year to coach. “I’m going to pass the torch. We have five spellers waiting in the wings.”

Bradford did also want to mention Orangefield student, Luke Johnson (coached by Misty Bellard) placed 4th for Computer Applications.

Grooders’ entire team returns next year with only one of them being a senior. The following year she will recruit on new team member from the middle school.

talking about opening their own restaurant shortly after they married. It took nearly 20 years of saving to have the capital to realize that dream. Clark states, “Glenda Granger, Manager, has been with her every step of the way from getting the building ready, designing the menu and creating recipes.”

Most businesses take several months to get ready to open but Clark reports she had an outstanding group of friends helping her and that it was only two months from lease signing to opening day. From the moment you walk in the front door it is evident that you are in a family owned/operated business.

Granger states “many of us are family or have become like family. Everyone that works here truly cares about each other and the success of the restaurant.”

Clark also states that “our menu will continue to transition into what the community wants. We have already added po-boys to the menu due to overwhelming demand from our customers.”

From the Creaux’s Nest THE GULF COAST AIN’T SO BAD It’s come on hurricane season and my bet would be that we will dodge a major storm here at home. Even if only one hurricane enters the Gulf, there’s 2,000 miles of coast line, it could go anywhere, from Florida to Brownsville. If it misses us 75 miles in any direction we will have no effect from the storm. Also, I believe high pressure will remain over Texas keeping storms away. I would rather think that the east coast, Atlantic coast, from Florida up, is more likely to get hit this year. As bad as our hurricanes are, I would rather sweat out a storm coming than be in tornado alley or where yearly major fires wipe out miles. Right now fires in Colorado, Arizona and the Southwest are burning everything in their path. On the other hand, Alabama, Florida and other parts are flooding with 22-inches of rain. Other parts of the country worry about earthquakes. Winters are brutal up north making life difficult. So you see, there is a certain amount of danger wherever you live in this country. When you boil it all down, sweating a hurricane that’s a direct hit here on the Gulf Coast is not as bad as it seems. How many direct hits have we gotten in the last 50 years? Less than a half dozen. The chances are really slim, but you never know. Rita and Ike left a bad taste in our mouths but the odds are that we won’t see their kind anytime soon. The day is coming when another major storm will come our way but the good thing about it is we have enough time to leave. I don’t believe it will be this year but who knows.*****I’ve got to move on. Please hop on and come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm.

ELEPHANT GROWING TWO TAILS Mitt Romney came to Texas for three days, no one from his Party welcomed him to Texas. Not King Perry, neither U.S senators, no congressmen and none of the Bushes.

However, he grabbed up $15 million and left Dodge when the bell rang at the GOP Convention. Now we know why he avoided The Texas GOP Convention, despite getting 69 percent of the primary votes. Just the mention of his name at the convention bought boos. They would have screamed him off the stage. Gov. Perry got loud boos when he suggested Dewhurst be supported in the United States Senate runoff against Ted Cruz. The Tea party members say Lt. Gov. Dewhurst is not conservative enough. Of course they didn’t believe Sen. Richard Lugar was conservative enough either and beat him. Now they’re after Sen. Orrin Hatch, with 96 percent conservative voting record. A win by Cruz in the runoff might be a good thing for Paul Sadler, if he wins his Democratic runoff. Jeb Bush says that President Reagan or his dad couldn’t govern in today’s GOP polarized congress that is crippling government. The Tea Party members are just too extremely radical and hell bent on keeping the economy from moving forward. President Reagan raised taxes 11 times, not because he wanted to but because it was necessary. Tea Party members have signed a pledge not to raise one cent. Jeb Bush says, “It doesn’t make sense not to take a deal cutting $10 in spending for income of just a dollar. Bush says also, “Put me in coach, you can’t turn that kind of deal down and care about the country.” The Grand Ole Party is fractured and being run over by the extremist. They can no longer claim to be the party of Ronald Reagan.

CONDOLENCES We were saddened to learn of the death of Dixie Dupuy Trahan, age 71, who passed away June 7. Services were held Sunday. I recall when Dixie and husband Joe Dupuy came to Orange as young newly weds to manage the Jack Tar Travel Agency, owned by her brother. They later acquired the agency. Joe was a great guy, full of personality. They were married 29 years when Joe died with pancreatic cancer, only six weeks after being diagnosed. Dixie married Junior Trahan, a widower. They shared a great life together for 15 years until his death. Ironically, Dixie died with the same type of cancer that killed Joe. Her death also came quick. Dixie was a real jewel, a special person who will be dearly missed. Our condolences to her family and friends. Please see obituary.

OUR SYMPATHY It’s with sadness that we learned about the death of Stephanie Gail Cole, 57, who passed away June 9. Services were held at 10 a.m., June 13 at First Baptist Church in Bridge City.

We had known Stephanie since she was a child. Her parents Jo Ann and Jimmy Singletary were longtime friends. For years she had worked for the county and Judge Mike Shuff.

She had many friends around the courthouse. We send our condolences to husband Danny, mother Jo Ann and the family. She was a special person who will be missed. Please see obituary.

If you don‘t like Josh, you won‘t like anyone. He has his momma Brenda‘s great personality.*****The Lunch Bunch held a surprise party last Wednesday at Robert‘s for Roy. A full house of friends attended. Donna Scales made her famous Almond Joy cake and like always supplied the most unique birthday card. Sheriff Merritt brought his Chief Deputy Clint Hodgkinson, a nice guy who seemed to fit right in. Commissioner John Dubose was accompanied by wife Joyce.

Jaden was a Bridge City High School pitcher who ended up playing for Texas A&M Kingsville. He posted an 8-3 record and a 2.55 ERA with 87 strike outs.

He always works his way up.*****I‘ve just learned my longtime friend Mike Louviere is retiring. We have been through thick and thin and several hurricanes together.

Clear the sink drain by dropping three Alka Seltzer tablets down the drain followed by a cup of vinegar. Wait a few minutes then run hot water down the drain. Works great for normal clogs.*****CAJUN DEFINITION: Cracklings: Years ago they were generally made at Boucheries, (hog killing) by deep frying the pork skin that has fat and meat attached. The cracklings then are flavored with a mixture of salt and pepper. Some folks call pork rind cracklings. Not so, cracklings are sold commercially at many locations in Cajun country. Locally, some stores sell them. Paw Paw’s, on Hwy. 1442, make them fresh daily.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK John Breaux, no kin to da Senator, is da prosecuting attorney in da small parish of Iberia. During a trial, he called his first witness, Ms. Gladys Duhon, a grandmotherly, elderly woman. Breaux, da prosecutor, approached da witness stand and he ax Ms. Duhon, “Do you know me?”

She answered, “Mais for sure I do, I know you Mr. Breaux, I’ve known you since you was a young boy and you have been a big disappointment to me, you lie, you cheat on your wife, you talk about peoples behind dere backs.”

Breaux, you tink you a rising big shot wen you don’t have the brain to realize you will never amount to anyting you.

Yea, I know you me.”

Prosecutor Breaux was stunned him. Not knowing wat else to do him, he pointed across da room were defense attorney Clovis Boudreaux was sitting and he ax, “Ms. Duhon, do you know da defense attorney?”

“I sure do, I’ve known Mr. Boudreaux since he was a little child-boy me,” she answered, “I used to baby sit him for his parents and him too has been a big disappointment to me. He’s lazy, he has a drinking problem, da man can’t build a normal relationship wit no body and his law practice is one of da worst in da parish. Not to mention he cheated on his wife wit tree different womens I know of me. Yea, I know him.”

Boudreaux squirmed, he was shocked him.

At dis point Judge leBlanc him brought da courtroom to a silence and called bot dem counselors to da bench rat now. In a very low voice he whisper to dem lawyers wit a mean look on his face, “If either of you bird-brains ax her if she knows me, you’ll be jailed a long time for contempt you.”

C’EST TOUT One thing about being puny and slowed down some, it gives one time to enjoy the surroundings and nature. The flowers are in full bloom. Butterflies by the dozens, every shape and color, land on the hibiscus and honey suckle. I’ve seen only one Monarch butterfly, however among the butterflies one large, solid white one visits. It’s as big as the palm of my hand and flaps it’s wings slowly, like a goose in flight. I call it my angel butterfly. I haven’t seen it in a couple of days. Maybe it’s off blessing someone else’s courtyard.*****I’m sorry I missed Commissioner Owen Burton, who came by while I was away. He and Ms. Nelda are two great folks and they didn’t forget me this tomato season. I admire folks who can be successful farmers. Speaking of that, Billy Peveto and a bunch of farmers have a farmer’s market sale every Wednesday afternoon and Saturday morning at the Big Lot parking lot. You name it, they have it. Fresh vegetables straight from the farm.

Check them out.*****Here is another idea, if your dad or your man loves a good steak, I suggest you take him to Robert’s Steak House for Father’s Day or any time. A butcher is on duty and will custom cut a steak just the thickness dad wants it.**** I’ve got to go now but thanks for your time.

Cooking the perfect pasta

(StatePoint) Americans love pasta, and with minor adjustments, they could cook it perfectly. If your noodles are tasteless, clumpy or tough, it’s time to review your technique.

Salt the water based on the amount of water you’re cooking with, not the amount of noodles. Wait until it’s boiling before adding the pasta. Stir immediately, and return your water to a boil quickly.

Opt for a range with quick time-to-boil burners. For example, the Italian company Bertazzoni makes ranges with different size high-efficiency burners, so that any size pot will cook with precision. When the pasta is done, drain immediately to avoid mushiness.

For an authentic Italian experience, dive into pasta piping hot.

Here is a fun recipe you can all try now that the kids are out of school. It is a sweet, fluffy doughnut dough with the salty sausages and topped in a maple glaze.

Yumm!

I hope to have a brunch for all you interested ones at my restaurant to be soon. Because Sussex Manor forcing me to move out, I no longer can remain where I have been for the past year and a half.

Place the sausages in a skillet and add enough cold water to cover; bring to a simmer. Turn off the heat; let stand until cooked, five minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to cool. Skewer lengthwise onto wooden skewers.

Sausage “Corn Dogs”

In a bowl, whisk the flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, salt and baking powder.

Whisk in the buttermilk until just combined. In a separate bowl, whisk the confectioners’ sugar, maple syrup and milk until smooth.

Quick and easy ways to update your kitchen (StatePoint) For many families, the kitchen is the most important room in the house, topping the list of rooms where they gather most. And it’s almost always the busiest room when entertaining friends.

But if your kitchen is outmoded or looking just plain drab, some easy, cost-efficient updates can make it more inviting, without undertaking a major remodeling job.

Walls Wallpaper styles come and go. And if your walls were papered more than a few years ago, you are probably living with a design that’s no longer in fashion.

For a timeless look, strip the dated wallpaper and replace it with a bright new coat of paint.

Be sure to choose a color that nicely complements the floors, countertops and cabinets.

For a modern take on wallpaper, look for mosaic tile collections that showcase beautiful tiles and patterns, providing texture for any wall in your home. For example, Trend USA offers patterns ideally suited to give tired accent walls a fresh twist.

Countertops Inconvenience is a major factor with a full kitchen remodel. But you can update the overall appearance of the kitchen by redoing just the countertops.

For example, Granite Transformations, a kitchen and bathroom remodeling company, can transform a kitchen in one day by replacing your countertops with heat, cold and scratch resistant glass or granite.

For an even more elegant look, consider opting for mosaic tiles, inspired by traditional Italian glass mosaics.

If you’re nervous about making such a drastic change,

fear not, new technologies are making it easier for consumers to visualize potential refurbishments. A new iPad application, iGRANITE, for instance, allows users to upload a snapshot of their space, and change the colors and textures of every surface of the room. More details about downloading the app can be found at www.granitetransformations.com .

Appliances When is the last time you replaced your kitchen appliances? No appliance, however durable, will perform optimally forever. It may be time to evaluate if your products are really doing the job.

Replacing major appliances like stoves and refrigerators might sound like an expensive prospect, but outdated products are not always as energy-efficient as newer models.

Swapping these items will not only give your kitchen a sleek new look, they might also save you money on utilities in the long run.

According to real estate experts, kitchen updates offer homeowners the highest return on investment than any other home improvement job.

So whether you’re planning to sell your home, or simply bring it into the 21st century, you’d be wise to start with the kitchen.

Gardening with kids teaches healthy habits (StatePoint) School may be out for summer, but as a parent, you can ensure there are plenty of opportunities for your children to learn new things throughout the vacation.

Start with something fun, practical, and vital to health and wellness. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years. But you can fight this trend with a hands-on lesson in nutrition.

“Gardening is a great way to bridge the summer learn-

ing gap and promote a healthy lifestyle,” said Shari Brown, the winner of 2012 Toyota Teacher of the Year Award.

“Not only will you be improving your family’s nutrition by incorporating fresh fruits and vegetables into your meals, you’ll be exposing your children to a subject they may not learn about in school.”

Brown, a North Carolina educator, was honored by the National Center for Family Literacy for her work helping families learn together. She plans to use her grant award to create a community garden.

Brown is encouraging families everywhere to learn together while gardening. She has several tips to help you learn in the garden: • Involve your children in the process of picking out what type of plants to grow.

Then develop fun, nutritional meals together, such as veggie pizza and fruit salad.

• Bugs are cool! Get your kids excited and curious about crucial garden critters with library books, Internet sites, your local science center, videos and bug games.

• Read stories about gardening with your children. Make a scrapbook about the experience of growing your garden.

• Emphasize gardening and nutrition lessons in your home, too. Get your kids watering the house plants and making sure they have enough sunlight.

Teach your kids what is compostable and have a discussion over dinner about where all the food on their plate comes from, not just what you’ve grown yourself. Expose them to a wide variety of new fruits, vegetables, plants and seasonings.

The fruits and veggies you harvest will be delicious, but your child’s knowledge will be the most important thing you grow in the garden this summer.

All-Orange County Baseball Team named

By Joe Pennington OC Coaches and The Record Staff For The Record

As is the case most years in Orange County there was some great baseball played all season by each of the schools in our county. The talent level across the board continues to climb and this year’s crop of players certainly lived up to the high standards that the local fans are accustomed to. There were some excellent playoff runs by both Bridge City and Little Cypress-Mauriceville and Orangefield also made a post season appearance as well. The young Mustangs from West Orange-Stark proved many doubters wrong as they nearly figured out a way to reach the playoffs also. Not to be outdone by their county neighbors the Vidor Pirates also completed a solid season in the very competitive 20-4A district. In recognition to all those players and their efforts here is The Record’s 2012 All-Orange County Baseball Team.

MVP-Jacob Lemoine (Bridge City) Coming into his senior season the big right hander was under enormous pressure to be the ace of the Cardinal staff and Lemoine certainly answered that challenge and then some. Stepping into the role as the #1 starter for a team who many picked to contend for a state title Lemoine dominated the opponents and dazzled the major league scouts that were present each time he pitched. Lemoine compiled an 8-1 record this season with

his only loss coming in the region semi finals against Waco Robinson. Lemoine finished his senior season with a 1.61 ERA while piling up 105 strikeouts in 69 innings and was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the amateur draft. Lemoine will take the next step in his baseball career at the University of Houston next season.

Offensive MVP Jacoy Finney (WOS) Easily one of the biggest contributing factors in the surprising Mustang season was the offensive output from Senior Jacoy Finney. In a lineup that offered a hitter like Finney little protection the senior utility player still managed to put up some very impressive numbers. Finney hit .417 for the Mustangs without the luxury of another hitter in the lineup with an average over .225. To say that Finney carried the team offensively would be a monumental understatement. Along with the .417 average Jacoy belted 5 home runs and amassed a ridiculous 1.340 OPS as well. A terrific year for any player.

Defensive MVP Cameron Dishon (BC) No line or quote sums up Cameron Dishon’s outfield ability like the old saying “2/3 of the earth is covered by water and the other 1/3 is covered by Cameron”. The BC senior and future Ole Miss outfielder continued his stellar play again this year by patrolling the gaps in the outfield for the Cardinals and keeping the extra base hits to a minimum with his arm. Several doubles this year by other teams turned into outs as the speedy centerfielder made

it look routine on an almost nightly basis.

Dishon had a handful of “highlight worthy” catches this year as he anchored the outfield Cardinals. As a testament to his arm few runners tried to take extra bases and that was a key factor on more than one occasion for BC this past year.

Newcomer of the Year Hunter Uzzle (BC) At the beginning of the year the Sophomore Uzzle was handed the most unenviable task of trying to replace Senior catcher Matt Menard as he recovered from injury and he certainly made the most of it by handling the Cardinal pitching staff like a veteran. Uzzle stayed in the lineup as the Cardinals designated hitter and batted leadoff for the majority the year where he hit .381 in district play as a switch hitter. Uzzle led or tied for the team lead in On Base Percentage, Walks, Hit by pitch, Home runs, triples, and also scored 34 runs. The sophomore DH was instrumental in setting the table for Cardinal sluggers like Mitchell Hubbard and Bryce Sampere to drive in runs. One of Hunter Uzzle’s highlight from this year came against Silsbee where he hit home runs in consecutive games. The first one from the right side of the plate at BC and then one from the left side in the following game at Silsbee which happened to come right behind a home run from Chase Shugart as they went back to back.

Lamar coach finds no gulls necessary for big catch ing body style. It will take me a while to cull out the lures that work best for me, but this one has already earned a spot in my starting line-up.

It came as no surprise last Tuesday when an old friend, John Storm, tied on one of those Chug Bugs and almost immediately started duping some very large trout. After his family sold their business to Rapala several years back, he switched careers and moved the family to Oklahoma. He rarely even fishes anymore, but he hasn’t forgotten how. He brought his two boys with him and they just wore the trout out as well.

Jerry Hamilton bought a fishing trip with Lamar’s head football Coach, Ray Woodard, at a Lamar fund raiser and he and his son, Andrew, also fished with me Monday. Unfortunately, the wind never gave us a break, but we were still able to find a few flounder and small trout before shutting it down around noon.

Due to the deadline we are one week behind on reporting the weekly Sabine River tournament, but they did pay all three places last week. Barry Celestine won big bass and first place with a 1.96-pound bass. He cashed a $500 check for his brief afternoon of fishing. The team of Zenos and Weeks took home $190 with a 1.86-pound bass and Barret Bush and his son earned $95 with a 1.44-pound bass.

With conditions continuing to improve on the river I will not be at all surprised if the bass fishing starts improving as well. Huge schools of small shad are all over the river and the bass are right behind them!

COLBURN-FISHING CAPT. DICKIE COLBURN FOR THE RECORD

I don’t know that I have ever enjoyed a crazier week of catching and it wasn’t simply because the bite was so danged easy. With the exception of this past Monday, the wind would howl from a different direction each morning only to absolutely die in the middle of the day for no obvious reason.

As soon as the lake slicked off the bite was on and the majority of the trout were very solid fish. We fished all the way from Garrison’s back to East Pass just because we could and it was the same scenario all over the lake. A single bird homesteading a small area was all it took to help you locate the fish.

More often than not, the bird or in some rare cases, several birds, would leave long before the trout quit driving shrimp to the surface.

At any given time you could see other boats in the distance with no birds around them, but in no hurry to search elsewhere. Friends fishing on both the north and south end were calling on a regular basis to say they were in the middle of a bunch of fish, but most days there was no reason to leave the middle of the lake or wherever you were fishing.

The most puzzling part of that anticipated user-friendly bite was that none of us were able to put together a solid morning pattern. Over the previous two to three weeks it was absolutely critical that we were on the lake at daylight to cash in on a great topwater bite, but it dried up with the stiff morning winds.

The only early advantage that folks able to fish every day enjoyed was to drift and blind cast the more productive areas even before the wind slacked up. It wasn’t like you couldn’t catch more trout than you ever thought possible once they started popping the surface, but you could never be certain that the wind would quit one more time.

That is exactly what happened to us Monday and while it was disappointing, I can’t say that I didn’t have it coming. The problem was that there was no Plan B and we were limited to probing the river and Cow bayou with Swim baits and Assassins. We did find some nice flounder, broke off two good reds and caught and released several small trout, but that was far short of going through 50 to 75 keeper trout one more time!

line-up, there was one that especially appealed to me and more importantly, to the fish, for two reasons. The first reason was the size of the lure and the second was the bucktail hanging off the rear hook.

The lure is their “Rover” and it not only casts well, but makes walking the dog a piece of cake.

For years I relied on Storm’s Chug Bug because so many reds and big trout fell for the dangling bucktail when the lure was at rest. This lure is déjà vu all over again with an even more appeal-

The bonus each day has been schooling reds.

These aren’t the massive schools of August, but they are showing up in decent numbers and most of them are in the 21 to 24-inch class.

They aren’t staying on the surface long and the two groups that we were able to stay with the longest were fish that were stirring up a mud boil in the open lake.

I fished the River 2 Sea folks early last week and while I have no doubt that the fish will eat every topwater or crank bait in their extensive

HOUSTON - More than 120 dolphins have stranded off the Texas coast, prompting a federal agency to declare the event “unusual” and investigate whether the deaths are related to others in the Gulf of Mexico.

All but four of the 123 dolphins that washed up on Texas shores from November through March were dead. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration listed it as an “unusual mortality” event because it met three of seven criteria.

NOAA says the strandings coincided with a drought-related algae bloom or “red tide” that can harm marine life.

NOAA says the bloom is suspect, but only one of several possibilities. Researchers also are investigating if it is related to more than 700 other strandings off the Gulf Coast and Florida or to the 2010 oil spill.

Injured ‘I’ll Have Another’ deals racing setback KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

For someone like me who grew up less than 20 miles from historic Saratoga Race Track, the sport of kings has meant much more than it has to the average fan.

Saratoga is to racing what Yankee Stadium is to major league baseball, Lambeau Field is to the National Football League or Wimbledon is to tennis.

Although I never cared about the betting aspect of horse racing at Saratoga— mainly because I was already a freshman at McNeese on my 18th birthday when it would have been legal for me to bet— the historical beauty of that race track and its surroundings are breath-taking.

Whenever I used vacation time to visit my parents, it was no coincidence it happened sometime during the month of August when the thoroughbreds were racing at this historical landmark that was built during the Civil War and opened Aug. 3, 1863. It is the oldest sporting venue of any kind in the United States.

I kept up with the “biggies” of the sport like the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes, plus the featured races during August at Saratoga like the Travers Stakes and the Jim Dandy.

As the years slipped by, it was very noticeable that the sport was losing its popularity and appeal to the average sports buff. It appeared that a few trainers, jockeys and even owners were willing to bend some rules to get an edge on the competition. And those who got caught gave the sport a huge black eye.

The sport really needed a Triple Crown Winner to restore some of its prominence because it hasn’t had one since Affirmed won the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes in 1978. Since 1978, 11 horses won the Derby and Preakness but fell short of the Triple Crown in the Belmont Stakes.

The most recent were Big Brown in 2008, which finished a disappointing ninth with 38-1 long shot Da’Tara winning the Belmont and 2004 when Smarty Jones finished second to Birdstone, a 36-1 long shot.

The real irony is that the Belmont Stakes was the only Triple Crown race in which I’ll Have Another was favored. He drew post position 11 for Saturday’s race which historically has not been a good spot.

Since 1905, according an issue of the Albany (N.Y.) Times Union last week, 23 horses have started from that 11 post position and only two (Conquistador Cielo in 1982 and Sarava in 2002) have won.

However, I’ll Have Another became the only horse in Kentucky Derby history to win from post position 19.

I’ll Have Another was only the third horse in history to scratch from the Belmont Stakes after winning both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness. He was forced to scratch Friday with tendinitis in the left foreleg. Bold Venture in 1936 and Burgoo King in 1932 both scratched from the Belmont with a bowed tendon.

So at a young three years old, I’ll Have Another has been retired from competitive racing with five wins in seven starts

and career earnings of $2,693,600.

Despite the fact there would not be history made with a possible Triple Crown winner, Saturday’s Belmont Stakes was a race with an exciting fin-

ish.

Union Rags, sent off as the 5-2 second choice and hadn’t raced since finishing a disappointing seventh in the Kentucky Derby, made a charge from the inside rail to barely nip Paynter at the finish line.

Actually, Union Rags was the horse most capable of winning the Triple Crown. The colt won three of four starts as a two-year-old but had a third-place finish in the Florida Derby where he was favored and then had that mediocre seventh-place finish in the Kentucky Derby. He was replaced by I’ll Have Another as the darling of the 3-year olds.

Dullahan, who finished third in the Kentucky Derby, was the betting favorite in the Belmont Stakes at 5-2. But he was a non-factor Saturday finishing a distant seventh.

Paynter, the Belmont runner-up ridden by Mike Smith and trained by Bob Baffert, led the entire race and looked like he would win the grueling 1 ½-mile race after holding off 20-1 long shot Atigun. He didn’t have enough earnings to run in the Derby or Preakness and was making his first graded stakes start.

For Smith, Baffert and owner Ahmed Zayat it was another second-place finish. The trio finished second in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness with Bodemeister, after he led both races most of the way only to be nipped at the wire

by I’ll Have Another. “I need a Triple Crown for second-place finishes,” Baffert quipped.

That very well could be the only way the coveted Triple Crown could be won in the future.

KWICKIES…It appears to this Korner that the cream rose to the top as the Miami Heat overpowered the proud Boston Celtics 101-88 in Game 7 to reach the NBA finals.

The Oklahoma City Thunder seemed to wear down the older San Antonio Spurs to reach the finals, which began Tuesday night in Oklahoma City. The Heat and the Thunder split two games during the regular season, both winning at home. As much as I like the Thunder, it looks to this Korner that LeBron James will finally get his wish with the third time being the charm to earn his first NBA championship. James became the first player since Shaquille O’Neal in the 2000 finals to have six 30-point games in a playoff series. The only contest in which he didn’t score 30 (Game 4) LeBron finished with 29.

Luke Donald, the current world’s No. 1 golfer, has yet to win a major tournament in his 10-year professional career.

Although the Houston Astros have won only four of their last 10 games, they lead the major leagues with a .314 batting average in those 10 games. Included in those four wins are the two-of-three games they won against the White Sox last weekend IN Chicago, which was their first road series win in nine tries this season. At Chicago the Astros pounded eight home

runs—including four in Sunday’s 11-9 victory-- after hitting just 13 in their previous 25 road games. The last time Houston blasted four home runs in one game was May 29, 2011. And they’ve been doing all this hitting with four position players disabled in the last nine days and two who were sick to various degrees.

Although he’s not ranked No. 1 in the world any more, it still looks as if Tiger Woods should be favored in this week’s U.S. Open at the Olympic Club in San Francisco.

JUST BETWEEN US…Last week’s edition of USA Today Sports Weekly previewed the 2012 Seattle Seahawks and mentioned that the team will sport nifty, new Nikedesigned uniforms. Thirdyear head coach Pete Carroll is pleased with the Seahawks’ remade roster with productive drafts, selective acquisitions of prominent veterans and a flurry of low-level moves. Seattle finished 7-9 in both seasons under Carroll. “The Seahawks are huge and physical on both sides of the ball and features a starting secondary who are 6-3 or taller,” the article states. “The lone pipsqueak, 5-10 Pro Bowler Earl Thomas, might be Ed Reed’s successor as the game’s best free safety. Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor is the best safety tandem you’ve never heard of and could be starting together in the Pro Bowl for years to come.”

Lure size is key fishing during the heat of summer

During extended periods when rain and runoff get scarce and the water clarity gets so good it borders on ridiculous many fishermen have a hard time catching fish.

OUTDOORS WEEKLY CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE For The Record

We have all had the perfect conditions not pay dividends, everything seems to be right but the results just don’t show anything for the effort. This scenario plays itself out many times over during an angler’s career, especially in the summer.

During extended periods when rain and runoff get scarce and the water clarity gets so good it borders on ridiculous many fishermen have a hard time catching fish.

Upper coast anglers especially struggle with

these conditions because they are not anywhere close to normal for the water we fish. In situations like these it pays to down size your offerings, smaller baits are often just the ticket to get fish to bite.

Flyfishermen for years have understood this concept better than anyone, after all they are the folks who patterned the phrase “match the hatch.” In the early part of the summer the finfish like shad and pogies will smaller than during the late summer and early fall.

The incredible population of these small bait-

they seem to give me better results all the way around on both numbers and big fish. If you really think about it throwing the smaller plugs makes plenty of sense, you can easily throw a bait that’s too big but it’s tough to throw one that’s too small.

The clear water small plug presentations that really shine on the lower coast can be used effectively on any body of water. On Calcasieu during the summer months when the trout are shadowing big schools of shad you can bet the smaller plugs are going to produce.

I have seen fishermen who just took their offerings and scaled them down one size literally save fishing trips. Back off the big plugs and get small if you want to really put the odds in your favor.

From Page 2B

front of Uzzle the future is certainly bright.

This years All County Team is tremendously talented and each player named to the squad should be proud to be a part of such team.

There are some new faces that will certainly be in the mix for years to come and there are others who have been a part of this team for several years who are no doubt making their last appearance. To all the members of the All County Team congratulations on a great season.

Jacob Lemoine, BC

fish is what makes the predator fish like trout and redfish so thick in our part of the world.

Lower coast venues don’t have anywhere near the populations of shad that Sabine and Calcasieu possess so understanding and knowing the size of these baitfish can be critical to getting a bite. On more than one occasion I have seen first hand what happens when you down size just a little and make that perfect adjustment.

The fish seem to get locked in and all those near misses become bone jarring strikes.

For the angler who desires to catch a little bit of everything, big fish and numbers, the junior sized plugs like the Mirr-o-lure She Dog and Rapala Skitterwalk Junior are extremely tough to beat. The smaller profile on these plugs will catch more fish in clear water on a day to day basis than just about anything else this side of a bait stand.

According to Texas Parks and Wildlife surveys of stomach contents from both speckled trout and redfish the average size food found in these fish was three inches long.

Sure trout and reds will eat bigger offerings, but they rarely turn down that size bait when they a get a chance. For my own personal preference I would rather throw the smaller plugs,

How to make the most of your home’s outdoor spaces (StatePoint) One of the best things about warm-weather months is the ample opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors; but there’s no need to travel to get your fix of fresh air. The best place to relax, play and enjoy the season could be right outside your window.

“Your yard is an extension of your home, so make it a place where you want to spend time,” says John Furner, Outdoor Living specialist at Sam’s Club. “Sprucing up your yard -- for entertaining, cooking or simple tranquility -- is every bit as important as those kitchen upgrades.”

Here are some great ideas for an outdoor space makeover: The Garden Give the phrase “locally-grown produce” new meaning with a backyard garden of your own. Whether you plant a full array of vegetables or you only have time to care for a few herb pots, a garden gives those simple summer salads a tasty, healthy and easily-accessible boost.

If you are new to growing plants, flowers, or even fruits, do not fret.

Gardening departments at retailers like Sam’s Club can guide you with set-up, tools, soil and starter plants at a great value. Go online to research gardening tips and nourish your green thumb.

The Grill While barbecuing makes any meal a celebration, there’s no need to wait until a special holiday to cook outdoors. Make fresh-grilled vegetables and meats a regular part of your summer menus and recipes. If this is your first time buying a grill or you seek a specialized grill, consider your taste preference (smoky versus crisp and clean), the quantities of food you regularly plan to grill and optimal backyard location.

If you prefer a smoky taste, then consider opting for a charcoal grill, and choose a gas or propane grill if you want to maintain the original flavors of the food.

If you plan to use your grill for

Protect your pets from summer pests (StatePoint) Summertime promises easy living, but for our furry friends, warmer weather poses serious health risks. And this summer, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is forecasting weather conditions that could set the stage for larger than normal flea and tick infestations all over the U.S. While it’s vital to treat pets yearround, take extra steps in warmer months -- both indoors and outside -- to ensure a safe season.

Fight Fleas During its two to three week average life, a single flea will lay hundreds of eggs. Failing to stop the re-infestation cycle could make eliminating the problem nearly impossible.

When fleas strike, nip the problem in the bud immediately. Keep your pet groomed and use a topical treatment monthly. Wash pet bedding, vacuum rugs and carpets, and spray your yard.

The good news is that keeping pets flea-free no longer needs to cost a fortune. New generic treatments on the market are affordable alternatives

to popular veterinary brands like Frontline and Parastar. For example, Fiproguard Max contains fipronil, a veterinarian-recommended active ingredient, and this new formula has been shown to kill fleas and ticks quickly. Just be sure to weigh your pet carefully to ensure the correct dosage. Don’t guess your pet’s weight!

War on Worms Did you know almost all puppies under three months old have roundworms? It’s no wonder why -- a female can shed up to 100,000 eggs every day! Unfortunately worms are common and there are multiple species to guard against.

A pot-bellied appearance, weight loss, listlessness and vomiting are signs of infection.

To ensure your pet’s safety, prevent worms before they start. Monthly deworming products like WormX Plus can treat any existing problem and also act as a preventative to keep puppies and adult dogs safe.

Take on Ticks You may think of ticks as a concern

reserved for camping trips and treks through the woods, but these creepy crawlers live in suburban yards and urban parks too. A tick bite is not just an annoyance; it can lead to inflammation of the joints, lack of appetite, depression, kidney damage and Lyme disease.

Be sure to spot check your pooch (and yourself) after spending time in potentially tick-infested areas.

Never try to remove a tick yourself.

If the head or pincers remain under the skin, you’ll increase the chance of disease transmission.

Apply a topical treatment that kills and repels ticks. If you prefer avoiding chemicals, try a combination of botanical oils that is deadly to ticks and insects but safe for pets and people.

For example the natural ingredients in Sentry Natural Defense are peppermint oil, cinnamon oil, lemon grass oil and thyme oil. More information on a natural approach to flea and tick safety can be found at www. sentrynatural.com.

Improve Dad’s health this Father’s Day

(StatePoint) Though your dad may be a superhero to you, he is not immune to common health problems that affect men. And as your father ages, his risk for certain life-threatening diseases increases.

But you can be his superhero this Father’s Day by helping him form habits that promote good health and longevity.

Here are some healthy ways to celebrate Dad this Father’s Day: Go Fishing: Stress is harmful to both mental and physical health, so get some fresh air and a sense of relaxation with a day on the water. Evidence from several studies suggests that incorporating fish into one’s diet can help protect against prostate cancer because they contain “good fat,” particularly omega-3 fatty acids.

Barbecue: If a barbecue is your annual tradition, don’t fret. That fish you catch will go perfectly on the grill with a side of vegetables. Tomatoes and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli are a great choice.

And if you can’t forgo the beef, don’t char. Charred meats can contain cancer-causing carcinogens that lodge in the prostate.

Also skip the trans fatty acids found in margarine and give your meal a flavor boost with olive oil instead.

Move: Play golf, play tennis, or simply walk off your meal together. Obesity increases a man’s risk of heart disease, aggressive forms of prostate cancer, diabetes, stroke and hypertension, amongst other dangerous health problems, so make maintaining a healthy weight a priority for both you and Dad. Checkup: Prostate cancer

S w e e t C r e a t i o n s etc.

affects one in six men, with more than 16 million men affected by the disease globally, and two million affected in the U.S. alone. Early diagnosis can improve one’s prognosis, so encourage your father to schedule an appointment for a screening as soon as possible.

Broader awareness and understanding for this disease are crucial for saving lives.

Get Involved: You and Dad can support men’s health while enjoying baseball, by donating money to support finding better treatments for prostate cancer. Each year, during

a special “Home Run Challenge,” Major League Baseball and the Prostate Cancer Foundation encourage baseball fans to make a financial pledge for every home run hit during select games June 7-17 at www. homerunchallenge.org.

More healthy living tips, a free nutrition guide, and nutritious recipes can be found at www.pcf.org/nutrition.

If you really want to show Dad how much you care this Father’s Day, consider forgoing a gluttonous meal and spend the day promoting healthy habits instead.

Someday

by Pearl Burgess

Someday we’re going to take a trip On an airplane or a big, fancy ship, Someday we’ll climb a mountain high Touching clouds from the spacious sky.

We Do Silk Screen Printing

We encourage everyone to make their money count Shop Bridge City!

Someday we’ll explore the deepest caves Where the sun doesn’t shine its warming rays, Someday we’ll go where we can camp Family and I through woods we’ll tramp.

Someday we’ll fish in a sunny brook Ones we catch, we’ll clean and cook, Someday with grandkids, I will play Now I’m just too busy working each day.

Someday to church we’ll plan to go But now I’m busy running to and fro, Someday is here, but the family is gone I look around, and I’m left all alone.

Someday? Don’t wait, love and share Take time for family, show that you care, Days that are given, use the best you can Taking time for others is the Master’s plan.
