Bridge City girls are third in World Nicole Gibbs For The Record The Bridge City Little League Jr. softball team returned from a week of participation in the World Series, Sunday around 11:30 p.m. Finishing the tournament with a record of 4-2, the girls have bragging rights as third in the world of Jr. softball. ”It’s just been exciting, everyday with them, playing a game, or getting ready to play

a game has been so wonderful and they did so good,” said Beth Faulk, mother of team member Hannah Faulk. “We’re just so proud of them. They did great.”

Bridge City Little League is planning a Homecoming Celebration for the girls at 2 p.m., Sunday at the Community Center. The public is invited to come join the celebration honoring these young athletes. They have gone further than any local team to date.

Darla Daigle For The Record For some a trip to the grocery store is a quick necessity.

Its meaningfulness only lasts as long as the need. For Annie Hargrave, this is not the case.

Her trips started 37 years ago and have given her purpose, profit and pleasure.

Hargrave who was born in Port Arthur and moved to Bridge City with her husband in 1963, was recently awarded with the honor of Bridge City Chamber of Commerce Em-

ployee of the Month. She is employed by the Bridge City Market Basket. For Hargrave it is completely unexpected.

“I was very excited, so excited!” Hargrave quips. “I can’t believe someone nominated me. I am honored, very much so.”

For Hargrave this means that the job she has given her so much pleasure has simply paid off in another of many ways she can count.

“In 1974 I applied for two jobs. One was with an insurance agency. I was interviewed and saw there were no windows in the place. I went home thinking ‘I can’t work there shut in with no way to look out,’” explains Hargrave of how she came to become employed by the Market Basket chain. She goes on to say that after her interview with Market Basket they offered her the job and she grabbed at it.

“I guess I must have liked it to have been here all these years,” she laughs.

What she seems to like the most is the customers. Her main job over the years has been as a cashier. Though she did work on the aisles and in the courtesy booth for a time she prefers the one on one with customers she considers to be friends.

“I am just a people person. I like being out among the people. Every now and then you will get one that isn’t going to be pleased no matter what you do, but 99.9 percent of them are good people.”

She goes on to say that of those who occasionally come along who are difficult, she finds it hard not to feel bad for them as they must have something miserable in their lives to be like they are.

It is this kind of generosity of heart that most likely has HARGRAVE PAGE 3A

Nicole Gibbs For The Record It’s no secret that much of Texas is facing one of the worst draughts anyone can remember. On Monday, Jeff Kelley, director of Orange County Emergency Management, informed the Commissioners that there are only four counties out of the 254 counties in Texas have not implemented a burn ban. Orange County brought that number down to three.

Jeff Kelley, director of Emergency Management for Orange County, said that “We don’t really have any signifi-

cant relief in sight. We do have a little bit of chance [of rain] this week but it’s not much and it’s scattered.”

THIBODEAUX The Burn Ban in effect can be rescinded at anytime.

County Judge Carl Thibodeaux and the Commissioners have set the proposed tax rate for the fiscal year 2011/2012 at 0.53559 percent; this is the same tax rate as last year. This proposed tax rate is not set in stone; this rate has room for adjustment.

Nicole Gibbs For The Record

“The proposed tax rate is to get the clock running to adopt our budget,” Thibodeaux said.

“You can go below this tax rate once it is adopted, but it cannot go above this rate.

This is just a number for us to be working with.”

The Commissioners set two public hearings on this proposed tax rate for Tuesday, Sept. 6 at 2 p.m. and Tuesday, Sept. 12 at 6 p.m. These meeting are for discussion only.

Action will not be taken until it is time to adopt the budget.

The Commissioners appointed Lisa Reeves as the new

An innovative approach to CPR is the focus of training now under way for Acadian Ambulance Service medics in Southeast Texas.

The CPR-HD process provides a highly defined approach to cardiac-arrest management and mirrors recent changes in the American Heart Association’s guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

“CPR-HD removes most of the chaos that is typically witnessed on scene and allows the medics to focus on what truly saves lives -- minimally interrupted chest compressions, timely defibrillation, early medication administration and delayed intubation,” said Casey Lewis, Acadian quality improvement supervisor.

According to the heart association, the delivery of early and more chest compressions during resuscitation has been associated with better sur-

Dignitaries gather to cut ribbon for new school

Bridge City Elementary opened its doors to the public on Aug. 18 with a ribbon cutting and flag ceremony. Kelly McBride, principal of the new school welcomed the crowd and accepted a Texas Flag from State Rep. Mike “Tuffy” Hamilton. U.S. Rep Kevin Brady had a U.S. Flag that had flown in Washington D.C. delivered to the school that morning by an aide. Chaplain Marv Howlin and wife Jeanette oversaw the raising of the flags by local veterans. After saying the “Pledge of Allegiance” a few words were spoken by the school board president before the ribbon cutting.

hadn’t talked to in years.

The Little League organization had a team night social for the girls on Tuesday. No coaches or parents were allowed, just a couple of chaperones. “They had some dinner and mix and mingle and a little dance; it’s supposed to be real fun,” said Julie.

Trying to keep the girls focused, coaches and parents took the athletes sightseeing in the Seattle area Wednesday, since the team had no game that day.

Thursday the team beat The

Netherlands 5-1 to take first place in pool B. An awards banquet was held that night.

Each girl was presented with a gold medal and certificate for participation in the World Series.

Coaches: Hilton Bacon and Justin Frederick. Manger: Julie Kahla.

It was a once in a lifetime experience not only for the girls, but the parents as well.

“They start out with about 4,500 teams in each age group,” said Julie Kahla. It narrows down to ten teams in the World Series Tournament with about 13 players per team. “It’s amazing.”

Congratulations on being third in the World.

kept Hargrave’s love for her position stable.

“Every place you work, there are going to be problems. That is just a part of life. But when you have good people that come in, it makes it all worthwhile. Good relationships with the people you work with is important to. I have the best of the best managers and co-workers.”

Paula Regrier, Hargrave’s coworker and current manager has worked with her for ten years. In her comments regarding Hargrave she says, “She is 70 and awesome! If I were on a sinking boat I would want her there. She is great with our customers but also tough. She makes sure they behave,” Regrier said.

She also explains that Hargrave stayed steady and never complained after the devastation of Hurricane Ike. Market Basket, as did all businesses and residents of Bridge City, suffered a hard blow with Hurricane Ike. For Hargrave that blow came a short week and a half after returning to the job having to recovered from a stroke.

“At first I cried a lot. Uncontrollably. Everyone does with something like that. I cried all the time for about a month. Then I decided it was going to be okay, I wasn’t taking any of it with me anyway.”

Cashiering isn’t all Hargrave has been doing in the past 37 years. She and her husband, Joseph, also raised three children all of whom graduated from Bridge City High School. Joey Hargrave spent years as a Bridge City police office retiring after acting as a Major on the force. Her other son, Cliff, is a captain on the Orange force and her daughter, Becky Romero, is an educator in Vidor.

“I have good kids, they were always good. Of course now I see their friends they played with at my home coming in here with their children,” she laughs again.

She has watched almost four decades of youth growing up in this community as well as watching the changes in the store and community itself. When she started at the market it occupied the end spot of the small spaces that are still there. After she started her employment with them, they bought out the small strip mall area and built on the large area they currently occupy.

As to retirement, Hargrave is uncertain. There are no plans to call it quits any time soon.

“I love my job. I don’t want to sit around at home. When you are working you feel like you are accomplishing something,” she says matter-of-factly, “I don’t know what I would do if I wasn’t there to see my people. I have my guys that come in every morning. I can tell if something is wrong or if they are having a bad day. Some will even call if they aren’t coming in so I don’t worry.”

She is there taking it day by day. She has seen people come in with their newborn babes and knows when someone has passed away.

“I will be at their funeral. I care for these people that much.”

It is that simple. After 37 years she knows the customers and they know her. They have a community family that has bonded stronger over the past few years.

Mike Burney, Acadian vice president of operations for Southeast Texas, said, “We’re proud to bring this technique to our area. We know it has the potential to save lives, and nothing is more important than that.”

Another Hurricane Ike damaged business comes back to Bridge City in grand fashion.

From the Creaux’s Nest IT’S FALL IN ORANGE COUNTY What that means is that it’s high school football time, the king of sports in Southeast Texas. Fall won’t mean football weather at game time this weekend; it will likely be near 90 degrees. Read about the teams in this issue. *****Some experts’ worry, some scientists have growing concerns that the Texas drought could go on through another dry winter and next summer will be some of the same. A deep problem for an already water stressed state.

In the 1950’s, West Texas had a seven-year drought but I don’t recall it being this bad here. Bridge City is 43 inches below normal in rainfall. Most of the county is at least 40 inches below. The only good thing about the high pressure is it will keep hurricanes out of Texas. *****Congratulations to one of our “Sweethearts.” Annie Hargrave, a 38 year employee of Market Basket, who was chosen “Employee of the Month” by the Bridge City Chamber of Commerce I believe she’s the employee of the decade. Many youngsters in their mid-forties can’t recall when Annie didn’t greet them at the register.

Every morning from 6 a.m. to noon, she brings her smile and good nature to work. Sometimes she’s full of it but always makes everybody welcome. She deserves a nice bonus.****I’ve got a long way to go so I’d best get going.

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

CONGRATS TO BRIDGE CITY CHAMPION GIRLS I don’t know any other Orange County sports team that has ever advanced to number three in the world.

The Bridge City 14-year-old girls fell only one game short of playing for the World Softball Championship.

We can’t say enough about the great job coach Julie Kahla did managing the young ladies through a Texas state championship and going on to capture third place in the world. The last big win came against EastWestpoint PA. in the Junior League Softball World Series. The girls locked down a third place spot with a 7-6 score. Sabryn Crain came through with a game winning single. Bridge City rallied from four runs down to capture third place. Pitcher Kellyn Cormier fell behind 4-0 when East West Point had all their players bat left-handed. Bridge City came back when Skylar Kahla, who hit .526 in the World Series, drove in Katelyn Dickerson to cut the lead to 4-2. Kasey Frederick, from the B.C. bullpen shut down East Westpoint. Bridge City went on to take the lead in the fifth with Kellyn’s hit. The girls returned to Bridge City Sunday in time to start school Monday. They have been on a journey they will recall for the rest of their lives. They made Orange County proud. Members of the World Class team are Hannah Faulk, Kellyn Cormier, Brooke Derouen, Bailee Bacon, Faith Kaufman, Sabryn Crain, Kaleigh Carter, Skylar Kahla, Katelyn Dickerson, Kasey Frederick, Haley Mills, Harleigh Myers and Ashlyn Mitchell. Coaches are Hilton Bacon and Justin Frederic.

Manager is Julie Kahla. I predict these girls will be heard from many times before their B.C. High playing days are over. A great big thanks to all of you. You won’t soon be forgotten.

DEDICATED COUPLE BCISD EMPLOYEES SAY GOODBYE For the first time in 38 years, when school started Monday at Bridge City, Nancy Chenella wasn’t in attendance. A couple of weeks ago, despite loving her job, Nancy decided it was a good time to retire. Her husband Joe, after 45 years with BCISD retired last year. Joe had come up through the ranks, served as superintendent a couple of times and was a longtime assistant superintendent. Joe had supervised the building of three new schools and had watched thousands of students graduate. He was and is active in the Bridge City community and presently serves on the Historical Museum committee. Their only child, Meredith, lives in Florida and works for Disney World. While their daughter attended Texas A&M, they made many friends in the College Station area. Over the years, the Chenella’s had weathered many hurricanes in Bridge City, Ike of course, being the worst but many were bad. Joe said, “I just don’t want to go through any more storms. We’ve had a great life here but it’s a good time for us to move on and we like the College Station area.” In a couple of months Joe and Nancy will be moving to a nice subdivision east of College Station. Joe and Nancy have been good friends to the folks at The Record over the years. Joe was always available and it just won’t be the same without him around to call on or just visit. These outstanding educators have earned their retirement. We wish them the very best, good health and a long life. Both say the years spent in Bridge City will always be special and never forgotten. They did their jobs well. We won’t forget them.

Happy trails.

Now here’s what might happen if a Republican can beat Obama, Gov. Jindal will probably accept an appointment. The Lt. Gov. would then become governor and ole’ Billy him, wants to be the governor.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Clotile axe her man, Joe Premeaux, “Wen you go to town babe, please go by Robicheaux’s store and got me some eggs.”

Joe answer, “Mais, sure I do dat me.” He drove his old truck into Erat, does his little shopping at da feed store and goes by Robicheaux’s store. “You got some eggs, Hanh?” he axe da clerk.

“We sure do, da very best eggs from Dartiz’s farm for $1 a dozen.”

Noticin a few cracked eggs Joe axe, “How much for dem cracked eggs right dere?”

Da clerk say, “Well, we got a few, and wen we got a dozen we sell dem for 15 cents a dozen.

Joe say, “Hokay, crack me two dozen.”

C’EST TOUT Some people will disagree but I believe the facts and history will bare out that President Obama has maneuvered the best foreign policy since Harry Truman. The gutsiest call in my lifetime was going after Bin Laden and killing him. He gambled his entire career, had it failed or any Navy Seals killed in the operation, Obama was done, cooked then. He told the Egyptian president he had to go; now he’s gone. A few months ago he said Gadhafi had to go. Obama took criticism from the Right for not putting ground troops in Libya. He put together a NATO command structure, led by France and Great Britain. The United States furnished intelligence, U.S. hunter drones and around the clock surveillance. Today Gadhafi is underground. Not one American killed. If I was the dictator of Syria and Obama says, “You have to go,” I’d start packing. Soon Obama will pull troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Our foreign policy is second to none. Now I’m hoping he will just go big on the economy and not be constrained by the Tea Party. He should state what needs to happen and have the same backbone he has displayed in foreign policy to back it up. He needs to explain what needs to be done to create jobs and lift the economy.

Republicans have one goal and it’s not creating jobs, its defeating Obama and pressing their ideology in this country. They will block as many of the programs as they can, they will vote “NO” to every idea. Most economists and business people believe we need short-term stimulus and long-term fiscal balance. Obama should fight for it and get the American people to join him.

Something has to happen, too many are suffering.

There is no doubt Obama has the backbone, let the hair go with the hide, get out of this bondage. Americans don’t like hostage takers. *****Orange County has proposed the same tax rate as last year. Our county is in fine fiscal order while many counties are not. Many are raising the rate, plus tax increases. If it’s working, don’t mess with it. There are too many uncertainties. Revenue from sales taxes is down for one. Orange County is one of the top fiscally sound counties in the state. Support your commissioner’s court, leave well enough alone. *****I’ve got to get out of here. Thanks for tagging along. The views expressed are this writer’s alone. Read us cover to cover and patronize our family of advertisers. Take care and God bless.

The Toyota Texas Bass Classic will take place Oct. 28-30 at the Lone Star Convention & Expo Center and concerts will be headlined by Billy Currington on Friday, Oct. 28, Pat Green on Saturday, Oct. 29, and Robert Earl Keen on Sunday, Oct. 30.

Limited quantities of tickets are free this year to the threeday outdoor music festival and professional bass fishing world championship through exclusive tournament partners. Free tickets are only available while supplies last through respective sponsor promotions or by visiting Houston-area Toyota dealerships. Tickets will be available beginning Monday, Aug. 22 in stores and online.

Tickets are available for Friday, Saturday and Sunday individually. Walk-up tickets the day of the event will require a donation towards the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department and all days are subject to sell out. Fans interested in attending are encouraged to visit toyotatexasbassclassic.com for complete details on how to obtain free tickets in advance.

The daily tickets are valid for admission into the festival grounds for angler weigh-ins and the concert of that particular day. All activities, including concerts, weigh-ins, interactive expo areas and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Outdoor Adventures Area will take place at the Lone Star Convention & Expo Center’s festival grounds in Conroe.

“The Toyota Texas Bass Classic brings national exposure to this area with a huge boost to the local economy, all while providing an unbelievable entertainment value and three exciting days of action,” said Conroe Mayor Webb K. Melder. “It is outstanding for the city of Conroe to host this world-class event.”

Billy Currington has recorded seven No. 1 hits in his career

including a pair of Grammy nominations. The happy-go-lucky Georgia native has charmed crowds since he burst on the scene in 2003, and has toured with the likes of Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley and Sugarland. Enjoy Yourself, Billy’s fourth album, builds on the success of his 2008 collection, Little Bit of Everything, which yielded three No. 1 hits: “Don’t,” “People Are Crazy” and “That’s How Country Boys Roll.”

Pat Green has blazed his own trail in the country music world since 1995. The three-time Grammy nominee and Texas fan favorite has also enjoyed widespread national success since the release of his 2003 mega hit Wave On Wave. Green’s supercharged live performances have evoked comparisons to the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Jimmy Buffet. In addition to national tours with superstars like Chesney, Dave Matthews and Keith Urban, Green sells out headline shows across the country. His winter 2009 release, What I’m For, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard charts and signaled Green’s arrival as a major American singer-songwriter.

The 2011 TTBC will also host a 50-angler field, assembled from the top professional leagues in the world, including the PAA Bass Pro Shops Tournament Series, Bassmaster Elite Series and the Walmart FLW Tour. The format has created a true bass fishing world championship.

“Any day is a good day to go the beach, but Adopt-A-Beach Cleanups are something special,” said Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson. “I invite you to come on down for a fun-filled day with about 10,000 other Texans who care about the coast.”

Volunteers should wear shoes, a hat and sunscreen.

Volunteers will be given data cards, gloves, pencils and trash

bags. Most sites along the coast conclude the day’s cleanup with cold drinks, hot food and lots of fun.

Volunteers may register online at www.TexasAdoptABeach.org or become a fan of the Texas General Land Office Adopt-A-Beach program on Facebook. Texans who can’t make it to the beach but still want to support the effort can make a tax-deductible donation at www.TexasAdoptABeach.org. Sponsorship levels range from $25 to $25,000.

The Texas General Land Office Adopt-A-Beach program began in the fall of 1986, when 2,800 volunteers picked up 124 tons of trash. Since then, it has grown into one of the most successful all-volunteer efforts in the nation. In 25 years, 413,000 Adopt-A-Beach volun-

As they’ve done throughout the summer, Entergy representatives will continue making energy-efficiency presentations in communities and conducting workshops designed to help customers save money.

“The extended heat wave has made it a very challenging summer for customers, and Entergy wants to do its part to help customers get through the rest of the season as safely, comfortably and cost-effec-

tively as possible,” Domino said.

Entergy, its employees and its customers regularly contribute to The Power to Care, a special fund that provides emergency utility assistance for elderly and disabled customers. None of the donations are used for fundraising or administrative purposes, so 100 percent of contributions go to help those in need.

The Power to Care doubles the impact of new pledges and one-time donations through matching Entergy shareholder contributions up to $500,000 annually.

Customers can make taxdeductible donations to The Power to Care fund at the se-

teers have picked up more than 8,000 tons of trash from the Texas Gulf Coast.

The data collected from the beach cleanups played an integral part in the passage of MARPOL Annex V, an international treaty that prohibits the dumping of plastics in the world’s oceans. In July of 1991, the International Maritime Organization designated the Gulf of Mexico and the Wider Caribbean as a “special area” where the dumping of trash, with the exception of finely ground food scraps, is prohibited.

Shell Oil Company is the statewide sponsor for the 25th Texas General Land Office Adopt-A-Beach Fall Cleanup.

Other sponsors include HNTB Corporation, AkzoNobel Surface Chemistry LLC, El Paso

Foods that improve your looks Country Cookin’: Recovery Staff Report

Country Cookin’

by Von Broussard

For The Record

Cajun Chicken Pasta Nicole Gibbs

For The Record

4 oz. of pasta noodles 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (or Cajun seasoning) 1 tablespoon of olive oil (or oil of your preference) 1 red bell pepper, sliced 1 green bell pepper, sliced 4 fresh mushrooms, sliced 3 green onions, chopped 1 cup of heavy whipping cream 1/4 teaspoon of Italian seasoning 1/4 teaspoon of lemon pepper 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder 1/8 teaspoon of ground black pepper

- Cook pasta according to directions on the package.

- Place chicken and cayenne pepper (or cajun seasoning) in a ziploc bag, shake to coat.

- Saute chicken in olive oil in a large skillet until almost tender (5 to 7 minutes).

- Add red and green bell peppers, mushrooms and green onions. Saute until peppers are tender.

- Reduce heat and add heavy whipping cream, italian seasoning, garlic powder, lemon pepper, and black ground pepper. Add more cayenne pepper (or cajun seasoning) if desired.

- Cook until sauce is thoroughly heated.

- Add salt to taste (if desired).

- Serve sauce, chicken and vegetables over pasta.

If we are what we eat, then it may be a good idea to take inventory of the foods the average person consumes on a daily basis. Although some foods are sought after for their taste, there are many foods that can be enjoyed because they have a positive effect on a person’s appearance.

In the simplest sense, eating a healthy diet can help maintain a good body weight, which is one way to improve individual appearance. But more specifically, there are certain foods that have particular benefits for the skin, hair and body. The key is knowing what to eat.

Soy: Soy is rich in amino acids. This food, whether eaten as a soy bean or in the many foods made from soy, including tofu, can help the skin retain moisture and improve elasticity. Soy is also proteinrich, which can help a person feel full longer and avoid overeating.

Blueberries and cherries: These fruits are chock full of antioxidants, which studies show can reduce inflammation, a culprit of puffy, aging skin. Cherries are also a natural source of melatonin, which can help a person get a restful night’s sleep -- another component of looking your best.

Fresh herbs: Seasoning food with flavorful herbs instead of salt is another way to improve looks. Salt is often a culprit in water retention, which can lead to bloating and puffiness.

This is also advantageous to people who need to reduce salt intake thanks to high blood pressure or other ailments.

Lime, pear, apple, and strawberry: These power fruits are high in vitamin C and other nutrients, making them an important component of a healthy diet. Furthermore, some research has suggested

that certain foods, including limes, pears and apples, can whiten teeth.

Egg products: Eggs are high in vitamin A, which helps repair skin. Not getting enough vitamin A may contribute to wrinkles.

Milk products: Consuming low- or nonfat dairy products helps promote strong bones and teeth. Nothing says beautiful more than a big, bright smile. B vitamins in dairy also help with red blood cell growth, cells that are responsible for bringing oxygen to other cells. This can promote healthy, young-looking skin.

Yogurt: Yogurt contains beneficial bacteria, which help with digestion. This can help cleanse out the system and prevent toxins from backing up in the body.

Water: Of course a person needs to stay hydrated, and water can flush the body of excess salt and toxins while also plumping the skin.

There are many nutritionally sound foods that can boost outward appearance as well.

H WEST ORANGE-STARK over NEDERLAND— Everybody always picks Nederland to win this annual lid-lifter, but very rarely do the Bulldogs emerge with a victory. So we’ll just pick the Mustangs to win this game at Provost-Umphrey Stadium on the Lamar University campus.

H LITTLE CYPRESS-MAURICEVILLE over GOOSE CREEK MEM.— The Battlin’ Bears should get the 2011 season started on the right foot in front of their fans in this home opener.

H TEXARKANA TEXAS HIGH over VIDOR (at Lufkin)— Texas High is potent year in and year out and they should have enough weapons to subdue the stubborn Pirates in this Saturday night contest.

H BRIDGE CITY over SHEPHERD— This opening game on the road for the Cardinals could start off tough, but the cream will rise to the top and the Big Red should emerge victorious.

The banquet will be held in the Orangefield Elementary School cafeteria this year.

H ORANGEFIELD over EAST CHAMBERS— This is going to be one tough game for the Bobcats, but the home-field advantage and the fact the Bucs get better as the season progresses gives the ‘Cats a chance to start the season off on the right foot.

Rule changes for 2011 college football season KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

College football will be starting the 2011 season on Sept. 1 with several new rules in place. We mentioned in an earlier column about the new rules on taunting, some of which have been put on hold for a year by the NCAA. But for the upcoming NCAA football season coaches, players, referees and spectators will see changes in the rules of the game according to a recent article by morningsun.net.

Unsportsmanlike conduct penalties will be treated either as live-ball or dead-ball fouls. Previously, all unsportsmanlike fouls were treated as dead-ball.

For example, this rule change means that a player who taunts another player before he scores a touchdown would be flagged and the score nullified, plus a 15-yard penalty would be accessed from the spot of the foul.

Another change is the foul for “illegal participation” which resulted in a 15-yard penalty. It has been eliminated and “illegal substitution” will be the name for any infractions of too many players on the field. This will now be a five-yard penalty.

Quarterbacks under fire by an all-out blitz should benefit from a change in the intentional grounding rule. Now quarterbacks can legally ground the ball by simply throwing the football in the area of an eligible receiver, like in the NFL. And eligible receivers no longer require a “reasonable opportunity to catch” the pass to avoid a penalty. This eligible receiver could be a blocking running back unaware of a pass being thrown in his direction.

Changes also have been made regarding airborne ball carriers and extending the goal line plane.

Players who go airborne voluntarily—like diving for the pylon—or involuntarily (by contact) are now both considered airborne players. The old rule stated that the goal line plane was extended for involuntarily airborne players and not voluntarily ones.

Division I players can now wear gloves of any color and Division II and Division III players will be able to wear gloves of any color in 2012. Gray remains the official glove color for Divisions II and III for one more year.

Beginning Sept. 1 any player will be allowed to wear a towel—towels cannot be larger than 4 x 12 inches, must be white and cannot include words, numbers, symbols, etc., only team or manufacturer logos. In the past, restrictions allowed towels for only certain players or a certain number of players per team.

If a team commits a penalty in the final minute of a half that results in a clock stoppage, the offended team will have the option of taking 10-seconds off the clock plus the yardage, the yardage only or decline the penalty.

Video monitors will be allowed in the coaches’ booths to allow coaching staffs to determine whether they should challenge the call. The televisions will have access only to the live broadcast feed, with no video recorders. The technology, if made available at a stadium, must be provided to both teams.

Blocking changes still allow chop blocking but only the players lined up outside the tackle box—more specifically, those lined up more than 7 yards from the center—will now be allowed to block below the waist anywhere on the field.

Receivers or running backs lined up outside the tackle box will only be allowed to block below the waist if they are blocking straight ahead or toward the nearest sideline. If they go inside and block toward the play, it would be a penalty.

On place-kicks, no offensive lineman can now be engaged by three or more defensive players. A violation will result in a fiveyard penalty.

A three-man wedge is prohibited during kickoffs and punts.

The penalty will be a 15-yard penalty from the spot of the foul, if non-contact, or from the end of the run if contact is made.

Players will no longer be required to wear pants that always cover the knees.

Some of these rules appear to be a bit picky, but the NCAA is trying to make the game of college football a bit less violent and perhaps prevent some unnecessary injuries.

KWICKIES…The Houston Astros apparently hit a roadblock last week in their run toward a franchise-record 100 losses by reeling off a four-game winning streak and finally getting back on track by losing 6-4 in 11 innings Sunday to the World Champion San Francisco Giants. The Astros also announced they sent 20-year old pitching phenom Jordan Lyles down to Oklahoma City to work in the bullpen and prolong his march towards the team’s 165-inning cut-off point for the season.

After the first two exhibition games, it appears the Lone Star State’s two NFL teams may be heading in opposite directions with the Dallas Cowboys scoring only 31 points while surrendering 43 and splitting the two games. On the other hand the Houston Texans appear to be hitting on all cylinders so far with a 2-0 record, rolling up 47 points and surrendering only 30 with KAZ PAGE 10B

Size, color of fishing lure plays important role COLBURN-FISHING CAPT. DICKIE COLBURN FOR THE RECORD

“How do you know which one will work the best,” asked twelve-year old, Howard Files, as he stared at the lure filled plastic boxes in the front compartment of my boat. “Since a nice trout just tore the one you were using off your jig head, I would be looking for another one the same size and the same color,” recommended his dad.

Even though everyone in the boat was fishing a different colored tail at the time, that over simplified recommendation would have been my suggestion as well. Fishing is the easy part, but the catching part is far more complicated…..at least catching on a consistent basis.

The angler that does catch on a consistent basis has already considered any number of variables well before lure color was even a factor. Wa-

ter depth, water clarity, surface temperature, direction of tide change, major and minor feeding periods based on solunar tables, the primary food source and wind velocity have all been taken into account.

Satisfied that he or she is in the area with the most potential, the size and color of the lure and speed of retrieve take on more importance. Because plastic tails rigged on lead heads of various weights can be easily fished at any depth, they are usually the first choice for bay fishermen prospecting for everything from trout to flounder.

Once you have established the optimum depth, you can then choose a lure or certain size jig head designed to specifically exploit that depth.

The quickest and simplest adjustment is to select a jig head that is easiest kept at the key depth. If the fish are deeper, a heavier head will get you there faster while a lighter head enables the lure to sink slower making it easier to retrieve through the upper column of water.

The length and shape of the tail are important not only because they better emulate the food fish, but because they too will dictate the buoyancy of the lure. The majority of the time, the actual color of the lure is not as important as whether or not it is simply translucent or opaque. Brighter colors, especially those with metal flake are translucent while darker solid colors are most often opaque.

Oddly enough, based on my own personal experience, even the darker opaque lures are more effective when they sport a chartreuse or lime colored tail. I feel relatively certain that it is the contrast that makes the difference, but having said that I have never done much good with a tail sporting a lighter colored body and a dark tail!

I recently tried to create some semblance of order with the overwhelming number of plastics that I carry, but found it to be an impossible task.

Of the thirty-seven different color combinations I discovered on board, I was only able to reduce the number to 28 colors that I just could not be

without. While many of them only see the light of day every now and then, they have still produced well enough to make the traveling team. Because I feel obligated to carry each of those colors in two different sizes with two different styles of tails the number was quadrupled and I was back to square one!

I have seen very few days when the fish would hit only one specific color better than another, but I have seen it happen enough that I carry several colors strictly out of self defense. Some very good colors like hot chicken, chicken on a chain, Texas roach and pumpkin chartreuse are similar enough that you could get away with carrying any one of them. I don’t, but I could live with making that choice if I had to.

There are colors, however, that I will not leave home without when fishing Sabine Lake. Including the afore mentioned colors I also have great confidence in red shad, glowchartreuse, limetreuse, stinky pink, morning glory, bug juice, opening night, watermelon, plum-chartreuse and bone diamond. The order is not indicative of my preference as the fish usually make that decision.

Because lure companies long ago quickly exhausted the more definitive descriptions of colors like grape or lime or even motor oil, many of the colors today are duplicated, but carry different names which can be even more confusing for consumers. East beast looks like chicken on a chain and blue moon looks like opening night and so on.

The scariest part of equipping yourself with an adequate arsenal of soft plastic tails, at least from an economic stand point, is that you have just scratched the surface if you have any plans of covering all of your bases. Swim baits are the latest rage and while you will need to carry at least three different colors, you can get by with just the three-inch version. That is, however, the last break you will get as you are already into a much larger tackle box.

I carry no less than four different makes of topwater lures in three different sizes. Add to that list three different makes of minnow type jerk baits in two different sizes and at the very minimum I carry six color combinations in each of COLBURN PAGE 4B

Wingshooters counting the days to season openers OUTDOORS-WEEKLY CHUCK UZZLE FOR THE RECORD

Tell the truth, you know that at the end of last hunting season you cleaned up your favorite bird gun, stored it away and haven’t touched it since. Don’t be embarrassed because you are not alone, as a matter of fact you are in the great majority of hunters. Year in and year out all too many hunters never practice near enough to keep their shooting skills sharp, as a matter most never practice.

Every year you get a big push of hunters shooting rifles before deer season, sighting in their guns and praying that nothing has happened to their scopes over the off season.

The deer hunters usually are the only ones who even shoot their weapons before the season starts.

Duck, dove, and goose hunters almost never break out their shotguns and head for the range in the off season. That being said it’s easy to understand why so many hunters get the “red face” on the opening day as they miss bird after bird.

The off season for many bird hunters is spent working dogs and doing various chores on their respective leases, few ever bother to work on their shooting skills.

A trip to the shooting range every now and again will make a huge difference in how well you shoot simply because of repetition. A round skeet, trap or especially sporting clays will help knock the off season

rust from your form and help you get back into the groove.

Most shooting ranges offer some instruction and various courses for all types of shooting sports, a shotgun shooters course can help you identify flaws in your form and make you a much more consistent shooter.

With all that pre-season shooting talk being said let’s focus on the upcoming hunting season because it’s almost here. The central and north zone dove seasons open up on the 1st of September while hunters south of IH-10 will have to wait until September 23rd.

Waterfowl hunters will get their fix starting on the 10th as early Teal season gets underway. The prospects for local hunters appear to be good, several big flights of teal have already entered our area and

Horns still working on opening depth chart Staff Report

For The Record

With less than two weeks to go before their season opener, the Texas Longhorns continue to work toward settling on an opening-week depth chart.

Texas held its second scrimmage of the fall camp last Friday, then continued to practice over the weekend.

Selected notes and tidbits from post-scrimmage workouts on Sunday, based on the observations of sources who watched the Longhorns practice: • Quarterback Garrett Gilbert, who played the best among the quarterbacks in Friday’s scrimmage, took the first snaps in practice, followed by Case McCoy, and then David Ash. Gilbert, a source who was at Texas’ practice told Hookem. com, had some nice throws to the outside during live drills,

but also still struggles at times on touch passes from 15 yards or shorter.

• It continues to look as if Texas’ top two punt returners both will be freshmen. Receiver Jaxon Shipley and cornerback Quandre Diggs are getting the majority of return workouts. Diggs and D.J. Monroe have been working on kick returns.

• Calvin Howell appears to be closing in on that second defensive tackle spot alongside Kheeston Randall. Howell has been working with the first team for the past two weeks.

• Two injured Longhorns returned to practice on Sunday.

Receiver DeSean Hales, who was hurt in Friday’s scrimmage, practiced at full strength. And freshman defensive back Sheroid Evans, who has been sitting out with hamstring issues, also practiced.

• Also on Sunday, the No. 1 college broadcast crew for Fox Sports — Gus Johnson, Charles Davis and Tim Brewster — was at practice, as was former Longhorns standout Eric Metcalf, who addressed the team.

the next full moon should bring plenty more.

The local marshes are starting to show some grass, hopefully this trend will continue and the weatherman will bring us some cool weather in September.

Next month’s season openers are much anticipated by many Texas hunters, the opening days are almost sacred to them if you can comprehend that.

Make the most of the time in the field by practicing before you head out and by being safe every time you pick up your firearm, the combination of these two will ensure you an enjoyable time.

FACTOR BY VOLTAGE LEVELS

‘02 Buick Century

Fixed Fuel Factor $ 0.0416675 per kWh $ 0.0404717 per kWh $ 0.0387806 per kWh $ 0.0380887 per kWh

The revised fuel factor would result in a decrease in Entergy Texas’ annual Texas retail fuel and purchased power revenues by approximately $0.4 million, or 0.1%, on an annual basis. Compared to the fixed fuel factor approved by the Commission effective March 2011, a residential customer using 1000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per month would see no annual percentage change and an approximate decrease of $0.03 on average per month, on his/her electric bill. The fixed fuel factor rate is designed to pass through to customers the actual fuel costs incurred by Entergy Texas to serve customers. Entergy Texas is not allowed to make a profit on fuel costs. Amounts collected from affected customers pursuant to the revised fixed fuel factor will be subject to final review by the Commission in Entergy Texas’ next applicable fuel reconciliation proceeding before the Commission. Entergy Texas expects the revised fixed fuel factor to be in effect for the billing period of September 2011 through February 2012.

Persons with questions or who want more information on the revised fixed fuel factor may contact Entergy Texas at Attn: Customer Service – Fuel Factor, 350 Pine Street, Beaumont, Texas 77701, or call [1-800-368-3749 (select option 1, then press 0, then press 4, then press 3)] during normal business hours. A complete copy of Entergy Texas’ filing is available for inspection at the address listed above.

The Commission has assigned Docket No. 39672 to this proceeding. Persons who wish to formally participate in this proceeding, or who wish to express their comments concerning this petition should contact the Public Utility Commission of Texas, Office of Customer Protection, P.O. Box 13326, Austin, Texas 78711-3326, or call (512) 936-7120 or tollfree at (888) 782-8477.

Entergy Texas, Inc. hereby publishes NOTICE that, pursuant to Section 36.203 of the Public Utility Regulatory Act (codified in Tex. Util. Code) and P.U.C. Subst. R. 25.237(A)(3)(B), it filed with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (the “Commission”) on August 16, 2011 a tariff to implement a revised fixed fuel factor. All of Entergy Texas’ retail customers whose fuel charges are calculated under the Texas fixed fuel factor tariff – including but not limited to Residential, Small General Service, Large General Service, Large Industrial Power Service, and Street and Outdoor Lighting Service – will be affected by the Commission’s approval of the revised fixed fuel factor. The revised fixed fuel factor, if approved, will affect only the fuel portion of the rates charged by Entergy Texas and will have no effect on non-fuel base rates.

Entergy Texas seeks Commission approval to revise the fixed fuel factor effective with the first billing cycle of the September 2011 billing month. Entergy Texas proposed that the fixed fuel factor be changed pursuant to a semi-annual filing to be made each February and August, with revised fuel factors to be effective with the first billing cycle of the March and September billing months, pursuant to a methodology that changes the fuel factor based upon changes in the published price of natural gas. This methodology was authorized for use in Docket No. 32915.

The revised fixed fuel factor, differentiated by voltage level, is as follows:

A Healthier Back to School Alternative

Tom Vilsack Agriculture Secretary Special To The Record

Right now, parents are making sure their children are ready to head back to school after the summer. Their checklist to get ready might include new shoes or a new backpack - paper, pens and other supplies.

At USDA, we are working to add another item to the list: nutritious meals and healthy lifestyles for all of America’s children.

If we want to build a strong economy and win the future, then we also need to win the race to educate our kids. And that means making sure that the 32 million kids who eat school lunches every day are fueled by the healthiest, most nutritious food we can provide.

Last year, at the urging of President Obama,

Colburn

wide receiver Jarvis Landry had been asked to give their side of the story at police headquarters Monday, but attorney Nathan Fisher arranged a postponement.

Three-time Kentucky Derby winning jockey Calvin Borel was arrested on a drunken driving charge Saturday night and released from the Vanderburgh County (Ind.) jail on $100 bond the next morning. His agent said Borel’s bloodalcohol level tested slightly above Indiana’s legal limit of 0.08 percent when he was arrested.

JUST BETWEEN US… This Korner was saddened to hear of the death of Jim Malcolm Monday morning. Jim was a carpenter who unretired after the two hurricanes hit our area and could really hit the golf ball a long way for a guy his age. Doctors discovered an aneurism on the back side of his aorta that they tried to repair during an eight-hour operation last week.

He was recuperating at his daughter’s home when the aneurism apparently burst.

geous to a contented live bait fisherman that relies on his anchor more than his troll motor, I do not feel like I could pare that list down and hope to consistently catch fish year round. The irony of it all is that I still remember thinking the day I decided to guide only saltwater, “I am going to miss bass fishing, but at least I won’t have to carry around so doggone many lures anymore!”

Sunset Grove Country Club golfer Jimmy Sims got a hole-in-one on Aug. 7 on the Par3 No. 12 hole. Jimmy used a seven-iron on the 133-yard hole that was witnessed by Dewey Scott, Pete Sterling and Donnie Mires.

High school football fans have to wait only two more days before the 2011 season begins with Zero Week. Let’s hope a cool front somehow makes it to our area before Friday night.

And we have helped hundreds of schools embrace these changes – as well as changes in their cafeterias – by participating in the in HealthierUS School Challenge. This program, a key component of First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! initiative to end childhood obesity within a generation, is a gold standard that all our schools should try and meet.

Congress passed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act to make the most important changes to school lunches and breakfasts in over 30 years.

Since then, USDA has worked to implement important reforms to help schools feed more nutritious meals to their students – and receive a bit more money to do it.

That means more fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products on our lunch tables, and less fat, sugar and sodium.

We are working with schools to help them get creative about offering the tastiest, most appealing meals. And we are making it easier for parents to enroll their kids to get the meals they need.

At the same time, we are working to improve the health of the whole-school environment by helping schools update their ‘wellness policies’
