Dear Women Against Feminism Caroline Brewton Feature Columnists

In Pakistan, a woman named Farzana Parveen was stoned to death in broad daylight in Lahore.

Early reports pointed to her father and other family members being responsible for the crime. Recently that narrative has come into question — her sister leveled accusations against Parvana’s husband, who did admit to killing his first wife to marry Parvana.

Regardless of whether it was her own family or her husband who led the stoning, two women died in Pakistan.

Because to some people in some places, the life of a woman is still disposable.

Many of our arguments seem to be semantic (“feminism” has a negative connotation) or superficial (“This is what an anti-feminist looks like”). And yes, we have achieved some progress. Here, we can vote, go to school, work outside the home. These are things to celebrate. But can we stop being feminists? No. We need to turn our gaze outward.

You may feel secure, but women around the world do still need feminism.

And they need it without judgement or condemnation.

committee to take public suggestions on the prosecution of sex crimes.

The committee indicated that systematic failure of the government and police force fostered a climate in which vioCaroline Brewton lence against women could flourish and was therefore a contributing factor.

In Nigeria, several hundred girls in Chibok were captured by the violent militant group Boko Haram. Recent activity from the group had forced local schools to close due to the deteriorating security situation — the militants have killed thousands of civilians.

They object to the education of women based on their interpretation of Islam.

Despite the danger, the girls in Chibok showed up to take final exams. While they were at the school, men in trucks rounded them up and took them away at gunpoint. Some managed to escape, but others remain in the thrall of the militants, which inspired the #BringBackOurGirls awareness campaign across international social media.

For The Record

This is what a feminist looks like.

(And that could be the subject of a whole different argument. However, we have bigger fish to fry than debating the importance of appearance. Suffice to say, judging a person’s political and social opinions based on that criteria alone is shallow and no reliable marker).

Just like there are a variety of women on your Tumblr page from all different walks of life, feminists don’t just come in one flavor. I am one among many.

I have something to say to you. I want you to rethink your position.

It’s easy to say “I don’t need feminism,” here in the United States, where you have the opportunity for education, mobility and relative security. But globally?

In India, the brutal gang-rape of a 23-year-old woman made international headlines after she was attacked by several men while riding home from the movies with a friend. She later died from the injuries she sustained.

The attack sparked outrage in India that led to the formation of a judicial

BCISD holds bond public meeting Thursday Sta Reports For e Record

Orange County couple Lanie and Walter Brown were recognized at the commissioners’ court meeting on Monday afternoon for returning a tribute flag in honor of Lance Corporal Fred Maciel to his mother. The Browns received a flag that flown over the U.S. Capitol building on July 28 in appreciation. From left, David Covey of U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman’s office, Walter and Lanie Brown and Wayne Prouse.

e service costs $600 a month and $7,200 a year.

A public hearing was scheduled to lower the speed limit on Connolly Road near Vidor from 30 mph to 20 mph.

During citizens’ comments, resident David W. Smith requested a resolution be placed on the court’s agenda for approval of particular Constitutional rights under the 2nd, 4th, 9th, 10th Amendments and the

Bill of Rights.

Smith also requested the county refuse to house any illegal aliens from the federal government.

James Jennings asked to have access to Claiborne West Park after the gates close at 7 p.m.

He asked that additional hours be added for residents to use or adopt a permit system. Jennings said many like to exercise or used the park with the cooler temper-

atures in the evening.

Lastly, Clark Slacum, county engineer, announced the swing bridge on East Roundbunch Road, will have a testing laboratory drill crew on Wednesday and ursday to drill three core holes. Soil strata information will be collected to allow a foundation design to be developed. e current schedule is for the project to be completed for construction in May 2016.

By David Ball For e Record

plan will be $71.02 for family dental, $33.54 for spouse dental and $33.54 for child dental. e county premium paid per employee will be $614.26 for medical, $28.60 for dental and $2.07 for life insurance. e county premium paid per dependent per month will be $456.36 for family, $256.42 for spouse and $157.14 for children. e employee prescription copay will be $10/$30 /$50. e deductible is $2,000 per individual for the calendar year or $6,000 for family.

Employees will also be eligible for a deductible buy-down. ere are nine health activities to choose from with a maximum of $500 per calendar year.

Jill Shores, personnel manager, said the county employees were currently under the most expensive plan at a $5 million cost before adopting the 1400 NGS.

e 1400 NGS plan had the lowest increase in premiums and $4,000 for co-insurance. e ofďŹ ce visit co-pay is $35, $150 for an emergency room visit. ere is, however, an increase in deductibles. Co-insurance increases from $3,000 to $4,000.

County Judge Carl ibodeaux said the 1400 NGG plan saves the county $344,000 per year compared to the current plan. It will also be $1,400 less for employees.

Only 16 percent of county employees met the deductible. ibodeaux said the plan could be remain the same and increase cost or make change in the plans that aects 16 percent of employees. “We don’t need to pay a high premium for a low deductible when only 20 percent use it,â€? he said. “For the beneďŹ t of everyone in the county, 1400 NGS is the best.â€?

BCISD officials are hosting another community meeting 6 p.m. Thursday at the Bridge City High School to discuss a bond proposal that will be called for this month.

BCISD does not have an auditorium within the district or a regulation stage at the high school. In addition, the drill team, does not have adequate practice or dressing space. The cheerleaders lack the same. The current space is very small.

Plus, the choir room is very small and does not allow a practice space. Current band members are practicing in a space built for up to 70 students. In 2010 there were 185 band members in the district and that number has increased to

390 for the upcoming 2014-15 school year. The band is projected to continue to grow in the future.

There is also a need for more classrooms, parking and restrooms at the ball fields. “We are looking at addressing an upcoming bond and are looking at a facility that would encompass and address all these needs,� King said.

All under one roof would be an athletic field house, choir room, auditorium with a regu-

lation stage, practice and changing rooms for the Strutters and cheerleaders. Plus, a BCTV classroom and seven new classrooms.

The new structure would be connected to the high school. “We want to ensure students receive the best well rounded education as possible,� King said. “ Co-curricular and curricular activities are important as well because they are part of the community and district pride.�

Healthcare plan set for OC employees e Orange County Commissioners’ Court selected a Texas Association of Counties health insurance renewal plan and rates after reviewing four alternate plans at the regular meeting on Monday afternoon.

A public workshop was held prior to the regular meeting to review each plan before selecting. e Plan 1400NGS RX-5A NG was ultimately chosen. e plan covers the ďŹ scal year form October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015. e county will pay 100 percent employee and 40 percent of dependent and implementing the buy-down program.

Monthly rates for family medical will be $684.54, $384.62 for spouse medical and $235.70 for child medical. e basic dental

Water Hilton Bacon addressed the council again about Suduth Drive.

He ďŹ rst spoke to them about rocks on top of a layer of oil at the June 3 council meeting.

Bacon said his street was “built cheap� and nothing has been done the past two months. e rocks on the layer oil are being slung by vehicles driving up and down the street. One rock broke his neighbor’s window.

He added there’s no sense in cleaning his driveway since there’s still oil on it. “Why hasn’t anything been done about it and why isn’t it ďŹ xed already?â€? Bacon asked.

Jones said the road was built badly and it’s not acceptable to the contractor. e contractor will put another seal down and see if it holds.

Jones said the problem was the asphalt put down on Sudduth was at night during lower temperatures and it released the rocks.

Mark Kelly of DP Engineers recommended leaving the layer rock there and soak up the oil and seal the road. After a month they will clean it up and evaluate things.

Bacon said the rocks on the roadway are being taken away by the vehicles tires. Kelly responded the rocks help seal it.

Bacon answered it was not sealing the road and it wasn’t acceptable.

Bacon said he was told on June 3 the road would be taken out and redone. Meanwhile, the rocks are not staying put and are in fact disappearing “My taxes are just as good as anyone else and other roads are getting blacktopped,� he said.

Mayor Kirk Roccaforte said 90 percent of the roads in Bridge City have been done the same manner as Suduth and those residents weren’t at the city council meeting telling them about it.

Bacon said there was nothing wrong with Suduth Drive prior to the roadwork.

Roccaforte said the same thing was done to his street and it takes some time for it to settle.

He added he went down Suduth

Continued from Page 1A and there were lots of rocks, but not a lot of oil. “When they’re done it will be better-built than most other roads in the city,� Roccaforte said.

Councilman Mike Reed told Bacon his road was done at the same time and they had to wait.

Jones said he will go out to Suduth with the contractor to broom the rocks of the edges and get things moving.

Roccaforte asked Brandon Harrison of ALLCO why it will take 30 to 45 days to set. Harrison said they want the rocks to set in.

Councilman Robert Simonton said the rocks would had sealed o by now. Harrison said they plan to add another layer of oil and rock to the street.

Reed said if they wait 45 days the weather will be cold and they would have the same problem.

Harrision said they can chip-seal until November. e council approved a program with Vigilant Solutions, Inc. involving a mobile license plate recognition system for outstanding warrants.

Jones said the system is $25,000 a piece and given to the Bridge City Police Department at no charge under a contract for the two. e equipment is paid through a 20 percent add-on fee with every warrant served.

It will also enable oďŹƒcers to take credit card payments in the ďŹ eld for warrants only. e BCPD will review the system after one year and determine if they want to continue the program.

A schedule to vote on Tuesday, Sept. 16 to place a proposal to adopt an ad valorem tax rate fore the 2014 tax year of $.47807 per $100 valuation for the city was approved. e total tax rate consists of $.21021 for Interest and Sinking Fund and $.26786 for Maintenance and Operations Fund.

Also approved was to schedule a public hearing at 6 p.m. for Tuesday, August 19 at city hall to hear and consider public comments regarding the proposed 2014-2015 city budget.

And lastly, two public hearings were scheduled at 6 p.m. for Tuesday, August 19 and Tuesday, Sept. 2 at city hall to hear and consider public comments regarding the proposed ad valorem tax rate for the 2014 tax year of $.47807 per $100 valuation for the city. e total tax rate consists of $.21021 for Interest and Sinking Fund and $.26786 for Maintenance and Operations Fund.

From the Creaux’s Nest JUST LIKE WE SAID Last week we couldn’t have predicted any closer what the congress would do with the border refuge problem. At one time Speaker John Boehner had the votes to pass the senate bill that had cut a billion dollars off of President Obama’s request. Then freshman Sen. Ted Cruz cut his legs out from under him by calling a dozen congressmen to his dungeon and telling them they would not get any Tea Party pac money if they voted for the bill. In disgust Boehner said, “The President will just have to solve it with executive order.” Then it hit the fan. Rep. Steve King called for impeachment. You can bet the President won’t wait six more weeks for the congress to return, drag their feet and do nothing. It’s too bad a problem to just let fester. An immigration bill should have been passed by the congress two years ago. They have had the senate bill that long.*****I have to move on. Please come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm.

CONDOLENCES We were saddened to learn of the death of June Ellen Middlebrooks Guidry, 58, who passed away last Friday, Aug. 1, in San Antonio. She was a native of Bridge City.

The Middlebrooks family is well known in the community.

Childhood friends say they had a large, fun family. Ms. Dorothy, June’s mother, kindly hosted many large groups of their friends and James, her father, was a Dupont employee. Tragedy seemed to follow the family. They not only lost their mom and dad, but also three brothers, Stanley, Allan and Mark. Now only two sisters remain Lynn and Donia. We spoke to Dave Guidry, June’s husband, who said her death was sudden and unexpected. He said it was an intestinal rupture. Dave is also a Bridge City native whose family owned a tug boat business on Cow Bayou for many years. Services will be at 10 a.m., Thursday, Aug. 7, at St. Henry Catholic Church in Bridge City. Visitation will be from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday, at Claybar Funeral Home in Bridge City. A rosary will be held at 6 p.m. June Ellen was a special lady. She loved everyone and was loved by everyone who knew her. Our condolences to her family and friends.

May she rest in peace. Please see obituary.*****We were also sorry to hear of the death of Coach Preston Prince, 84, who passed away Aug. 1. An Orange native, he had been a teacher, longtime coach and assistant principle at LCM. For many years this writer heard many Preston Prince stories. A former Golden Gloves boxing champion, he was known as a fisherman who always caught the limit. Some of his students say he was always upbeat and a great motivator. Funeral services were held Monday, Aug. 4, at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Orange. Please see Obituary.

U.S. ECONOMY STEADILY GROWING The United States economy grew at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of four percent which surpassed all expectations.

Stronger job gains are spreading to middle and higher wage industries as employers gain confidence in the economic recovery. Over all 209,000 jobs were added in July, the sixth straight month of 200,000 plus gains, the best in 17 years when Clinton was president.

The GDP is now growing, corporate profits are high and the stock market has been booming. Consumer spending on automobiles, furniture, appliances and recreational goods helped bolster the GDP for the second quarter. A sharp increase found in the stocks of goods in warehouses and on store shelves as businesses anticipate that consumers are developing a greater urge to shop.

If for two years the U.S. Congress had not sat on their hands refusing to bring up the Senate passed jobs bill, millions of new construction jobs would have been added. Each pay check circulates seven times, improving all parts if the business community. Every kind of business would profit, plus other satellite related industries would have sprung up, unemployment problems and a weak economy would have been a problem of the past. The Congress is on a near six-week vacation. The mid-term elections are Nov. 4, so it’s not expected that they will take up any bills before the election. After the elections those who lost their seats will shut down and take the rest of the year off. Congress has not been showing any interest in wanting to improve the economy or advance any Obama Administration policy.

Our domestic situation continues to improve despite their non cooperation and road blocks.

If you listen to the spin doctors however, they would have you believe that the nation is going backwards. Numbers don’t lie; five years ago we were in a deep recession with high unemployment and many companies facing bankruptcy.

With just a little push from the “Do Nothing” Congress, the economy could rise to an all time high.

TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME 10 Years Ago-2004 A real U.S. hero, Red Adair, died Saturday, Aug. 7, at age 89. He put out 2,000 oil well fires in his 50 year career. In 1968 he inspired the movie “Hell Fighters” starring John Wayne. In Kuwait he extinguished fires set by Saddam.

Instead of taking years he put out all of the fires in months.

He started his business with $125 worth of equipment.

(Editor’s note: My kind of hero. He “Made” the “Silver Spoon” he wasn’t born with. There’s a difference in selfmade and old money.)*****At 1 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 8, a lovely lady, Patsy Fisette, age 65, passed away. She had fought a lifetime battle with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Through all those years she kept a good attitude. She was a good friend to many and truly an inspiration to everyone who knew her.

She and Harold were more than man and wife, they were buddies. She was a great mom to their sons Craig, Mark and Curtis. She was also survived by four grandchildren.

(Editor’s note: I feel privileged to have known her.)*****Don and Joyce Kachtick celebrated their 50th anniversary Aug. 7. (Editor’s note: Today it’s 60 years.

Joyce was a longtime secretary at Little Cypress-Mauriceville.)*****Job growth under Bush fades to a trickle with 32,000 new jobs in July. *****The GOP has recruited Alan Keyes, a black man from Maryland, to go to Illinois and run against Barack Obama for the U.S. Senate.

(Editor’s note: Boy, the GOP has been after Obama even before he became a U.S. Senator. Little did they know that in just five years after beating Keys, he would be elected president of the U.S., beating Hillary Clinton before really stomping Sen. John McCain. He was re-elected for a second term and has never lost an election. I predict history will treat him kindly.)*****The Masons to dedicate new Bridge City High School.

40 Years Ago-1974 Former Gov. John Connally indicted, the main witness against him is his longtime friend Jake Jacobson. The two worked for LBJ for many years. It looks like ole Jake sold John out to save his own hide. He was given immunity from prosecution. (Editor’s note: For all these years I’ve believed that the immunity law, that often turns loose the guiltier, is a bad law. Connally beat the rap.)*****Orange Countians spotted in New Orleans: H.D. and Sue Pate, Buddie and Carol Hahn, Betty Haynes and daughter Pat, the V.J.

A FEW HAPPENINGS We were glad to hear that our friend Jerry McIness is up and about and doing quite well after having open heart surgery.*****Our buddy, Ms. Pearl, who has been driving for 75 years has checked her keys in and gave up running the roads as of last month. We miss seeing her going by, tooting her horn, waving and flashing that smile. She was usually headed to Danny’s or MacDonald Baptist.

Even though it looks bad and not desirable, it won’t hurt you. From time to time every water system will run into the brown water problem. Everywhere I’ve lived, at some time or other, the brown water problem appears. I once stayed in a fancy hotel that had brown water. Sometimes it takes a little while to get the chemicals right, just like in a swimming pool. Just be patient.*****To my friends who like oysters, I’m sorry to say you will have to pay double or triple prices to get them in the shell or in restaurants.

Parks and Wildlife have been working to recreate habitats for oysters by pouring tons of river rock into locations in Sabine Lake and East Bay. Juveniles are already settling in. There’s hope for market size oysters in two years.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Joe Comeaux was driving to Calvin Broussard’s camp at Bayou Benoit, when he saw a crowd of folks standing a safe distance away looking up at something in da tree.

Wen Broussard saw Comeaux coming he ran to meet his buddy saying, “Joe, dere’s a big bear, wat is in my big Mulberry tree. Come see, wat I’m gonna do me? It won’t come down.”

“Don’t worry bout dat Bruce, I can get him down, me. I’ll go home and get my shot gun, my stick, handcuffs and my dog, Ole’ Blue.”

Comeaux came back in a flash him, wit all his stuff. He walk up to dat tree wit da bear and axe Broussard to help him.

“Wat you gonna do with dose tings hanh?” Broussard axe his friend.

Comeaux explain dat he would climb up dere next to da bear and poke him wit da stick. “Wen da bear lets go, he will fall to da ground him, den Ole’ Blue, him, will go for his crotch and lock in on him. Wen dat bear puts his paws on da dog’s head, you handcuff da bear and we got him captured.”

“I don’t understand me, Bruce said, Why you have de gun wit dat buckshot?“ “Well, said Comeaux, if dat bear knock me down instead, you be sure to shoot Ole’ Blue before I hit da ground me.”

C’EST TOUT Judge Derry Dunn attended a family reunion at Chrystal Beach three weeks ago where everyone had a great time.

Judge Dunn just went into the Gulf waters once but that was all it took. His right leg got discolored and turned bright red. Wife Jane took a picture of it and emailed it to their two doctor sons. Both responded within minutes to take him to the emergency room immediately. He was diagnosed with Necrotizing Fasciitis, commonly referred to as a flesh-eating bacteria. (That is a media hype term.) Anyway, Saturday, on the Judge’s birthday, Aug. 2, he underwent surgery. A six inch hunk of meat was removed from his right leg at Baptist Orange. The area was cut down past the infected area. He will remain in hospital the rest of the week. The healing process will take some time because it must heal from the inside out. He will be constantly checked to prevent new growth.

What went through the Judge’s mind was if he lost his right leg, how in the heck was he going to operate his tractor.

Derry has been through so much he just takes whatever comes along in stride. He says it’s the Lord checking off the list. The mistake Judge, was just going In the water once.

Everyone else spent hours in the salt water and salt water cures anything. Sometimes a little bit of something is just not enough. Best wishes Judge for a full recovery. A good thing you raised two medical doctors, the free expert advise may keep you around a while.*****I’ve got to get out of here but first let me advise you that the Lunch Bunch dines at Robert’s this week and Novrozsky’s next. Everyone always welcome. Please read us cover to cover and support our “Family of Advertisers” when you can. You will always get the best deal. Take care and God bless.

A tale of two countries

By Melodie McClain For e Record Adventure came knocking and two teenage girls opened the door. ere are over 5,400 miles between Texas and Italy, but that didn’t keep Kasey Self, daughter of Wesley Self, and Marta Benzo, daughter of Michele and Enrica Benzo, from taking advantage of the opportunity to visit a dierent country.

Kasey attends Bridge City High School and is 16 years of age. Marta is from Cirie’, a small city in Turin, Italy and she is 17.

Marta arrived here July 17 and will stay with Kasey for about six weeks. Marta will preset the Italian Rotary ag to the Rotary Club of Bridge City at the Community Center in Bridge City, ursday, August 7, at noon.

Kasey applied to be an exchange student in January of 2014. e process was very intense and involved lots of meetings and several interviews that helped her to be well prepared for her visit.

She went to Italy where she stayed with Marta and family for several weeks. While there she presented the American Rotary ag to one of the Rotary Clubs. is is an international expression of good relations between the United States and Italy. “When you are an exchange student you are an ambassador for the U.S.,â€? said Kasey.

Going to the Coliseum in Rome was her favorite memory. “It was mesmerizing and amazing!� she said.

She also really enjoyed getting to know Marta’s friends and staying at her family beach house in Liguria, a little region in Italy, which oers tranquil beaches and beautiful views of the mountains. She is also quickly learning to speak Italian. ere can be many challenges when you are far from the familiarity of home. But when you have your own personal friend as a guide it makes it a lot easier to visit places with a dierent language and culture, explained Kasey. She plans to go back to Italy to visit after she graduates. “You learn to grow up and make your own decisions,â€? she said. “Seeing people your own age in a dierent part of the world and how they act is really awesome. It was dierent not having people around who spoke English all day long. It’s like America but condensed and smaller. Italians walk a lot to get from place to place. Obesity there is not a problem.â€? “e best part about being an exchange student is it broadens your mind in how you think about other societies,â€? Kasey added.

One downside for Kasey was missing her family. She also felt quite out of place at the airport in Italy. She was detained while going through customs and almost missed her plane departure. “Don’t change your hair color after you get your passport. It will make things a lot easier,� she explained.

Sharon Messer Bowling, is Kasey’s Grandmother. She is a strong believer in the value of travel as an educational, mind

broadening experience. “ese two girls will never forget their travels. It has been a delight to have Marta around. She blends right in and taught us all how to make real pizza from real pizza dough,� Bowling said.

Marta said the process for applying to be an international exchange student is easier in Italy.

But everyone there told her she was crazy to go away. Her response was, “If you don’t try it you never know how it feels to travel and the feedback is very positive.�

Marta is a more experienced traveler than Kasey. She has been to the United States with her parents twice before, but not to Texas. “I was expecting more open land and a lot more horses,� she said smiling.

She has studied in London and speaks uent English. “ I love traveling and I am use to being away from my family,â€? said Marta. Her favorite place so far in Texas is San Antonio. She also visited the Capital, the San Marcos caves, Crystal Beach and a beautiful deer lease. Locally, out at Bailey’s, she got to have a real deep south Texas encounter with a huge alligator that decided to make a big op in the water right beside the boat she was in.

She likes hydro sliding and ďŹ shing and the simple things we enjoy here in Bridge City. But mostly she likes just hanging out at the house with friends. “In Italy you hang out mostly in the clubs with friends,â€? she added.

Visiting here has changed her lifestyle. “It’s the best experience I have ever had,� she said.

Marta is looking forward to going home and being a role model for others and sharing her experiences with friends. She wants to encourage more teens to be exchange students and she is thinking about attending college at Lamar. “It just gives you a greater understanding of how others relate to the world,� she said, “and

A student exchange program allows students from a secondary school or university to study abroad at one of their institution's partner institutions. A student exchange program may involve international travel, but does not require the student to study outside of their home country. e National Student Exchange program oers placements throughout the United States and Canada.

Exchange students live with a host family or in a designated place such as a hotel, an apartment or a student lodging. Costs for the program vary by country and institution. Participants fund their participation via scholarships, loans or self-funding.

Student exchanges became popular after World War II and are intended to increase the participants' understanding and tolerance of other cultures, as well as improving their language skills and broadening their social horizons. An exchange student typically stays in the host country for a period of 6 to 10 months. International students or those on study abroad programs may stay in the host country for several years and some exchange programs oer academic credit.

FISHING...

OCARC Tourney takes on special feel DICKIE COLBURN SABINE LAKE FISHING For The Record “e number of entries is down a little this year,” stated John omas while directing traffic with a clipboard in one hand and shaking the hand of a young angler with the other. “Our sponsors stepped up big again this year and as you know… the biggest worry outside of raising money is the weather.”

Mother Nature cooperated as well with clear skies and enough of a breeze to make the 27th OCARC weigh-in reasonably pleasant for the spectators gathered at the Orange City Boat Ramp. ere was a winning fish in every category and all three places were claimed in all but the white perch division. ere was some concern prior to the event that the high water would make it tougher on the freshwater fishermen. e big four, (bass, flounder, redfish and trout), were all worth $250 and it took a good fish to win in every category. Luke McFarlane cashed the first place check in the bass division with a very solid 3.19 pound fish. Charles Cobb won the flounder division with a 3.83 pound fish, Sam Michael blew

away the field with a 6.04 pound trout and Forrest Gothia won the redfish division with a thick shouldered 27-inch fish.

Craig Stark also made a big pay day by catching the winning Appaloosa red. at is the designated name for the redfish with the most spots and

his fish had nine!

Matthew Pryne won the white perch division with a .86 pound fish, Mike Foreman had the first place drum of 7.65 pounds and tied with Brooklyn Goldsmith for the first place croaker at .84 pounds.

Lucile Eaglin bagged the first place sunfish .37 pounds, Jacob Cook had the largest catfish 4.10 pounds and seven year old Alex Jackson won the grinnel division with a 5.46 pound fish.

Not surprisingly, Eddie Forgey once again took home the money for duping the heaviest Don Hubbard Mudcat. Even when he doesn’t win this category he comes close to winning it and this year’s winning cat weighed 3.86 pounds. e big four always attract the most attention, but there is no doubt that this tournament is all about the smile See Colburn, next page

Johnny Manziel, who was drafted by the Cleveland Browns, is considered one of the most exciting new players in the NFL since the days of Joe Namath.

‘Johnny Football’ has Cleveland fans excited KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR For The Record Although Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones passed on drafting Johnny Manziel with the 16th overall pick back in April, he recently was quoted by AthlonSports.com as saying about the talented quarterback, “He’s a celebrity.

He’s Elvis Presley. And, by the way, he just happens to be a football player, too.”

About 16 hours after drafting Manziel, the Cleveland Browns sold 2,000 new season tickets, according to the magazine. And it took only slightly longer for Manziel’s No. 2 Browns’ jersey to become the best-selling item in the NFL since April 1. e National Football League’s official website store sold as many Manziel jerseys during the draft weekend as it did Robert Griffin III, Tim Tebow and Andrew Luck jerseys during their draft weekends combined.

Joe Namath ranks as the closest any NFL player has come to Manziel’s stardom, although the Hall of Fame quarterback played in an era that lacked

social media and 24-hour sports stations.

“Johnny Football,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said. “I think he represents so much passion for the game, so much excitement. If he brings that to the NFL, that would be a great thing for us, and I think a great thing for the fans. He’s obviously focused and determined to be successful. I wouldn’t count him out, that’s for sure.”

When Manziel arrived for the first time at the team’s headquarters in Berea, Ohio, some Browns fans were prompted to greet him with chants of “Super Bowl.” e Browns last won an NFL title in 1964, the pre-Super Bowl era. at also marks the last time Cleveland won a title in any major sport.

Manziel sounded almost like Joe Namath’s bold guarantee that his two-touchdown underdog New York Jets would beat the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III when he told the Cleveland fans “I’m going to pour my heart out for the Dawg Pound and try to win a Super Bowl for Cleveland.

backs since 1999. I’m the 21st and the guy that brought them the Super Bowl,” Manziel added.

Of their 18 first-round draft selections since 1999, the Browns have used four on quarterbacks.

Cleveland made Tim Couch the No. 1 overall pick in 1999. Brady Quinn (2007) and Brandon Weeden (2012), like Manziel, were selected No. 22 overall, a fact Manziel calls a coincidence.

But after the first week of training camp, veteran Cleveland native Brian Hoyer has won in the earlier rounds of the quarterback battle against Manziel. Hoyer has taken all of the snaps so far with Cleveland’s first-team offense, with Manziel working exclusively with the second-stringers.

Saturday’s intrasquad scrimmage at nearby InfoCision Stadium at Akron University brought out 20,672 brown-andorange-clad fans, many wearing No. 2 Manziel jerseys and cheering each time he trotted out on the field to run Cleveland’s second-team offense.

Neither quarterback was able to engineer a touchdown drive.

But without star receiver Josh Gordon, who could face a suspension by the NFL, the Browns could very well have the worst wide receivers in the NFL. Manziel’s passing was inconsistent, according to the Houston Chronicle staffer who covered the scrimmage. He completed only three-of-seven passes for 14 yards, taking snaps under center and from the shotgun.

But many of the long-time Browns fans expect Hoyer to begin the season as the starting quarterback because he was 3-0 last year before going down with a knee injury that’s apparently completely healed.

Head Coach Mike Pettine praised Manziel after the scrimmage. “It’s clear to see we had some runs in for him, and you could see that’s going to be a strength of his along with some completions on the run. at’s certainly playing to his skill set.”

Pettine also said the team plans to

Continued from Page 1B work in plays that exploit Manziel’s running skills.

As a rookie, Manziel is having to learn something as simple as hearing plays called with a communication device in his helmet—the “headset” as he called it.

Pettine said that learning the playbook is Manziel’s No. 1 challenge as he strives to take the starting job from the sixth-year pro Hoyer, whose conservative, ball security-first approach is in sharp contrast to Manziel’s dazzling improvisational skills and gun-slinging mentality.

But Pettine quickly adds that Manziel is ahead of where the Browns figured he’d be at this point and rewarded him Monday by letting him direct the starting offense.

KWICKIES…Sergio Garcia did Sunday what he’s been so famous for over the years on the PGA Tour-- he choked away a three-stroke lead after firing a magnificent 61 in Friday’s second round. One almost has to feel sorry for poor Sergio, who had to contend with chasing Tiger Woods for 15 years when Tiger was the world’s No. 1 golfer. Now he has young Rory McIlroy, fresh off a wire-to-wire victory at the British Open two weeks ago, as the game’s best golfer, who fired a four-under-par 66 to beat Sergio by two strokes. Garcia’s feelings were soothed enormously when he received the runners-up check for $900,000 for the World Golf Championship Bridgestone Invitational.

And while on the subject of Tiger Woods, he was forced to withdraw half-way through Sunday’s final round of the Bridgestone Invitational with back pain in his third tournament since returning from back surgery. e prognosis of his latest ailment wasn’t available at this writing.

It’s hard to believe that our area high schools have begun football practice for the 2014 season. e young hopeful varsity candidates are doing mostly conditioning drills this week before putting on their pads and gear Friday and

Colburn on the faces of the youngsters as they parade across the stage and spending an afternoon visiting with the clients from the Center. e 27th edition will also go down as an especially memorable one as center director, John omas, opened the weigh-in ceremonies with a tribute to Andy Borel and his family. Andy recently lost his 10-year-old daughter, Janae, in a boating accident on the river. I can’t personally recall Andy ever missing a single OCARC tournament and I know he fished this one with a heavy heart.

A number of years back when we were constantly tweaking the rules to produce more winners and get even more kids involved, someone foolishly proposed dropping the grinnel category. omas immediately dashed that proposal by stating with conviction, “As long as Andy or any of the Borels are fishing this tournament we won’t have to worry about not having a grinnel to weigh.” Saturday afternoon, omas paid tribute by announcing that in all future events that category will honor Janae Borel.

I will have more details about a great opportunity for local anglers next week, but anyone in-

will be preparing for their first scrimmage the following weekend under the new UIL realignment that has pushed each classification up one, making the largest class 6A this season and six-man class now 1A. New Texas Longhorns coach Charlie Strong has some strong “core values” for his team and players. ose who violate these basic rules are finding themselves suspended or dismissed from the team as preseason camp opened on the Austin campus this week.

So far 10 players have suffered the consequences. e first NFL preseason exhibition—the annual Hall of Fame Game-- was played Sunday in Canton, Ohio with the New York Giants hanging on for a 17-13 victory. All of the teams will be playing exhibition games this week with six games slated tomorrow (ursday), including the Dallas Cowboys at San Diego. e Houston Texans already have quite a laundry list of injured players who are being held out of practice, including star wide receiver Andre Johnson, All-Pro running back Arian Foster, No. 1 pick Jadeveon Clowney, star linebacker Brian Cushing, Brandon Brooks, Louis Nix, Johnathan Joseph, rookie fullback Jay Prosch and William Yeatman.

JUST BETWEEN US…e Houston Astros just completed one of their best home stands of the season against two of the American League’s more successful teams—the Oakland A’s (2 of 3) and Toronto Blue Jays (3-of-4)- and were sitting 3½-games ahead of the AL West Division cellar-dwelling Texas Rangers in games through Sunday. And to quickly diminish the Astros fans’ glee, the front office, with all of its infinite wisdom, announced last weekend a price hike for 70 per cent of 2015 ticket sales. Dugout boxes will escalate from $48 to $66, field boxes from $37 to $48 and the Crawford boxes in left field from $32 to $37. View deck I and II remained the same as this year.

GPS a cool tool, but can’t make anglers invincible, all-seeing CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE OUTDOORS WEEKLY For The Record “Pssst…..hey buddy? I got what you need, GPS coordinates, reef names, secret spots full of shell guaranteed to give you what you’re looking for. I got it all.”

In a wide eyed frenzy the unsuspecting and overly enthusiastic angler who’s hungry for information does exactly what you would guess, he buys it all.

Anything for an edge and everything for a big fish. The quest for these big fish drives many folks to extreme measures and often different locations. The biggest key to success is just simply knowing the what, when, where, and how of each location and all that starts with information.

Gathering information for a fisherman takes on many forms. For years it was a difficult task to find out anything truly helpful on a new body of water without spending the time to get to know it. Anglers went to great lengths to acquire local knowledge. Hiring local guides to give a “Readers Digest or Cliff Notes” version of a particular area was the most logical way to get your feet wet. For those a little more adventurous there was the overhead method, taking a plane or helicopter for a ride with a camera and a map. Lots of B.A.S.S.

GPS is a great tool for anglers on the many waterways in this region but must be used with common sense.

Representatives from Navionics will not only be on hand to answer any and all questions about your electronics, but will run your unit on the river with you as well. ere will be vendors on hand as well as a Kids Fish tank and refreshments.You really need to stop by the store at 2313 MacArthur Drive prior to the event and talk with Jonathan as there is much more to take advantage of than mentioned here.

While the rain and big tides haven’t done us any favors lately, lighter winds have allowed us to fish more of the lake. e most surprising bite has been provided by the flounder. e best flounder bite as of this week has been found either in Bessie Heights, Keith Lake or the ship channel south of the Causeway.

Keith Moran would add the Neches to that list as he limited four days last week and had at least one fish over four pounds every day. He caught them on a new penny Gulp Shrimp and live finger mullet. e redfish bite

has also been very consistent for folks fishing crankbaits, Swim Baits and spinnerbaits on the river.If you are fortunate enough to find them schooling in the lake you can catch them on anything in the box.

Ironically enough, we have done very well on the trout both south of the Causeway and on the extreme north end of the lake while struggling on the main lake. We are still finding big pods of shad in the open lake, but most of the gulls are working over lady fish, sand trout and small specks. Topwaters, Swim Baits and tails fished under a cork have all worked well for us.

Not much better than crawfish pie EVY’S CAJUN COOKING Evelyn Brandon Growing up in a Cajun family, I learned at a very young age to cook. It was in these earlier years, that I knew cooking would be one of my very favorite pastimes. I love ďŹ nding recipes, and changing them to make them my very own creations.

It’s no secret that we Cajuns love all kinds of foods, but we are partial to the fares of the land and sea. Some folks don’t understand that we eat what they call “strange� foods - animist are considered delicacies.

Today, I will share one of my family’s favorite recipes; it’s one

of mine too. But then, anything with crawďŹ sh is a favorite for me.

CrawďŹ sh pie is a quick and easy.

From prep to plate, it’s about 1 1/2 hours. is would go well with a big ol’ glass of sweet tea, or a good cold beer. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we do.

Crawfish Pie

2 unbaked pie crusts 1 stick butter 1 small onion, finely chopped 2 ribs celery, finely chopped 1/2 red bell pepper, cleaned and finely chopped 1 pound crawfish, seasoned for cooking 1 can cream of mushroom soup

realize the lake was 10 feet below pool at the time so they crashed.

A GPS doesn’t make you invincible nor will it guarantee you that you will be ďŹ ne if you follow the track. is is where local knowledge and plain old common sense comes in to play. ere is no substitute for local knowledge or time on the water, it’s just plain priceless. If you are so fortunate to ďŹ nd someone willing to share some information by all means respect their areas and do your best to reciprocate the exchange of information when you can. e exchange of information between ďŹ shermen can be the dierence in struggling and success. On a recent trip to Gulf Shores Alabama I couldn’t help but want to ďŹ sh the surf in front of our condo as it appeared to be alive at times with bait and all sorts of activity.

I took a trip to the local tackle shop, J and M Tackle, and got all

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Place one pie crust in bottom of nine inch pan - set aside.

In large skillet, melt butter, add onion, celery and bell pepper. Saute until onions are clear, and other vegetables are soft.

Add crawďŹ sh and saute for 5 minutes. Add cream of mushroom soup, simmer for 20 minutes, until slightly thickened.

Pour ďŹ lling into pie crust, then top with second crust. Crimp both crusts together, and cut 3-4 slits in top crust.

Bake 25-35 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and ďŹ lling is bubbly.

wizardry that’s available and you can just about make the claim that there are no more “secret spots.�

Websites like Google Earth will show you just about anything out there in clear vivid detail. Companies like Navionics make GPS and mapping chips that are so detailed it’s ridiculous. ey even make them updateable from their website so you get the latest and greatest information available.

Now with all this electronic help it’s awful easy to get lulled into a false sense of security. Several years ago I saw a boat on Sam Rayburn that had run aground and ipped over on what was supposed to a submerged hump. Two anglers from out of state armed with a high dollar GPS were involved in the crash. Yes they were on the right route. Yes they were following the coordinates. No they didn’t

the info I needed to make my trip a success. ese folks were really nice and very willing to help an out of state angler like myself. It’s very rare when you can’t get a good tip or piece of information at the local tackle shop; it’s the ďŹ rst place to start asking around when you go to an unfamiliar body of water.

Now an even helping of electronic help and local know how will certainly put you on the right path to success but don’t ever rule out bringing your own secret weapon. Many times I have seen anglers show up at an unfamiliar body of water and use a technique that the locals never dreamed of and be successful. I guess that’s what makes the sports so interesting, the fact that there are no absolutes and anything can happen. Here's hoping you ďŹ nd all you need on the information highway and each stop along the way.

Pastor’s door deco garners attention

By Bill Robinson Editor-Richmond Register roughout its history the Roman Catholic Church has been associated with Latin language and lettering, so passersby on West Main Street were surprised ursday to see a strange symbol emblazoned on the church’s door.

Some were even more surprised to learn it was an Arabic character.

It is the Arabic character for N, which stands for Nazarene, explained the Rev. James Sichko, St. Mark pastor. e large character was posted to show the church’s solidarity with the Christians of Iraq, especially in the city of Mosul, who have come under attach by the extremist group ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, he said. “Members of ISIS have been marking Christian homes in Mosul with the Arabic character N, which stands for “Nazarene,� meaning Christian, Sichko said. “It is reminiscent of the Star of David that marked Jews in Nazi Germany.�

Because of that, “St. Mark in Richmond, Kentucky, today has marked our Church doors with the the Arabic letter N in solidarity with our brothers and sisters� in Iraq and around the world, he said. “We are all Iraqi Christians,�

Sichko said. “As Catholic Christians, the members of St. Mark stand together in deďŹ ance of genocide, of persecution, of hate

and the slaughter of Christians anywhere.� ose who think the plight of Iraqi Christians is far removed from Kentucky are mistaken, Sichko said. “e next time you hear someone is facing a problem, and you think it doesn’t concern you, remember, when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk,� he said. “We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep

an eye out for each other and make an extra eort to encourage each other. Each of us is a vital thread in another person’s tapestry. Our lives are woven together for a reason.â€? e local church’s action is a witness of the “New Evangelizationâ€? in which Pope Francis calls on Christians to proclaim peace in and for the world, Sichko said. e singer Reba McEntire, who will give a beneďŹ t perform-

ance for St. Mark Church and School on Oct. 12 has just released a new single called “Pray for Peace,� he noted. When someone passes by St. Mark Church and sees the Arabic character N on the front doors, “hopefully, it will remind them to do just that, pray for peace.�

Museum of Gulf Coast inducts boxer ‘Poppee’ Scypion On Aug. 2, the Museum of the Gulf Coast inducted its newest member into the Sports Legends Hall of Fame.

Wilford “Poppee� Scypion of Port Arthur (1958-2014) was the National Golden Gloves Middle Weight Champion of 1978.

He had tried out for the U.S. boxing team for the 1976 Olympics, but did not make the team.

Scypion turned pro not long after his Golden Gloves title and went on to have a

32-9 record, with 24 of those decisions by knockout.

After winning the USBA’s regional Middle Weight title fight against Frank “The Animal� Fletcher on February 3, 1983, Scypion was set for the highlight of his career: fighting “Marvelous� Marvin Hagler for the WBA, WBC and WBO championship titles – the first bout in history to decide all three.

Scypion met Hagler in the ring on May 27,

1983 in Providence, Rhode Island.

Despite his best eorts, Scypion was knocked out in the fourth round.

After the Hagler ďŹ ght, Scypion’s career took a downward turn and he lost ďŹ ve of his next eleven ďŹ ghts. He decided to hang up his gloves in 1991.

In recognition for his achievements, he had received the Key to the City of Port Arthur form the Mayor in 1983. Scypion passed away on February 27, 2014.

This notice concerns 2014 property tax rates for Orange County's NAVAGATION & PORT, AND EMERGENCY SERVICES DISTRICT #2

It presents information about three tax rates. Last year's tax rate is the actual rate the taxing unit used to determine property taxes last year.

This year's EFFECTIVE tax rate would impose the same total taxes as last year if you compare properties taxed in both years. This year's ROLLBACK tax rate is the highest tax rate the taxing unit can set before taxpayers can start tax rollback procedures. In each case these rates are found by dividing the total amount of taxes by the tax base (the total value of taxable property) with adjustments as required by the state law. The rates are given per $100 of property value.

EMERGENCY NAVIGATION & PORT SERVICES #2

Last year's adjusted taxes (after subtracting taxes on lost property) ÷ This year's adjusted tax base (after subtracting value of new property) = This year's effective tax rate (Maximum rate unless unit publishes notices and holds hearings)

This year's rollback tax rate:
