Rainbow Bridge spans historic 75th year Jerry Ragsdale For The Record

When you look back, it’s amazing that the Rainbow Bridge was completed in under three years. It was naming the darn thing that took forever.

It began as a solution for clogged roads caused by Dryden Ferry traffic. Seventy years later, it still has the tallest vertical span in Texas (177 feet).

OC Farmers’ Market waiting on fall gardens Staff Report For The Record

If you’re looking for watermelon, you’ll find them at the Orange County Farmers’ Market, as well as lots of yard plants and house plants, homemade baked goods and homemade granola. Jams, jellies, and pickles will be back in September.

Garden produce is a little scarce right now, but there will be a large variety of fresh produce to choose from as soon as the fall gardens are ready.

Some gardens will be ready earlier than others, so stop by the farmers’ market often to see what’s available.

The Farmers’ Market is open 3-6 p.m. Wednesdays and 7-10 a.m. Saturdays. It is located in Pinehurst in the parking lot in front of Big Lots (off MacArthur Drive).

For more information contact the market coordinator, Jean Fregia at 409670-6121 The Orange County Farmers’ Market is sponsored by Texas AgriLIFE.

It cost $3 million, and the lives of many who worked on it.

The Rainbow Bridge did more than change the landscape, it united Orange County with Port Arthur.

It also served northbound and southbound traffic until 1991, when its neighbor the Veterans Memorial Bridge helped split the load.

Jefferson County Commissioners, along with the Port Arthur Jaycees and Rotary clubs wanted to call it “The Port Arthur Bridge.” Some in Orange and Beaumont favored the original designation of “Neches River Bridge,” and Orange County Commissioners liked “The Port ArthurOrange Bridge.”

In one heated meeting, Jefferson County Commissioner H.O. Mills threw off his glasses and said everyone was, “... acting like a bunch of kids.”

Jefferson commissioners eventually decided on “Port Arthur-Orange.” Then in 1957, the North Port Arthur Lions

Club sponsored a contest to name the 19-year-old bridge.

More than 1,000 entries listed “Rainbow Bridge,” however, the earliest postmarked was by 6-year-old Christy McClintock of Port Arthur. Her grandfather helped her fill out the form. She won a $50 Savings Bond. Her reason, she told reporters at the time, was that the bridge was physically shaped like a rainbow.

At the time of construction in the mid ‘30s, its vertical span was designed with the tallest Naval ship in mind, the USS Patoka, which ironically never sailed the Neches. The ship was decommissioned and sold to a steel company for scrap in 1948. Although the span is dwarfed by San Francisco’s Oakland Bridge (at 218 feet), the Rainbow is 40-feet higher than the Huey P. Long Bridge across the Mississippi, and outreaches the 155-foot clearance of the George Wash-

ington Bridge across the Hudson River. It was built to withstand 130-mile hurricaneforce winds.

The bridge’s dedication in 1938 saw speeches, barbecue, dancing and fireworks, even a sailboat regatta on the Neches.

And of course, a rodeo. According to Port Arthur News archives at the Bridge City Chamber of Commerce (compiled by former chamber vice president Charlotte Chiasson and Joyce Darling), the idea began in the late ‘20s to fix a growing problem with the increasingly unreliable ferry.

Residents in Orange and Port Arthur got to thinking, “If Beaumont can have a bridge, why can’t we?”

The proposal had its naysayers, mostly in Beaumont; and in fact, several bond issues which could have funded the bridge which passed in Port Arthur, still lost because of high negative numbers from

Beaumont precincts. Proponents included officials in Orange, Galveston and Lake Charles. Finally in the early ‘30s, after much legal wrangling, Gov. “Ma” Ferguson signed a bill that allowed Jefferson County to contribute, along with state and federal funds, to what was being called “The Dryden Tunnel.”

In October, 1935, state engineer G.G. Wickline, a University of Texas graduate, was appointed to supervise the project. Working under him was fellow UT graduate P.V. Pennybacker. Wickline named as consulting engineers Ashe, Howard, Needles and Tammen, at the time one of the four largest firms in the country and working on a $2 million span in Omaha and a $42 million span in Newark, N.J. In November, hourly wages were announced: $1.25 for mechanics, $1 for crane operators, hoisting engineers and

carpenters; 50 cents for riggers, pumpmen and blacksmiths; and $4 to $4.50 for the infamous “Sand Hogs” who would work in the water at depths of up to 110 feet and pressure up to 48 pounds. The $4.50 wage for the lowest depth was eventually raised to about $6.50. And in December, the Union Bridge and Construction Co. of Kansas City, Mo., submitted a low bid of $800,000 for substructure work.

In February, 1936, it was announced that work would begin March 3. E.M. Philpot, vice president of Union Bridge, said, “Our first job will be to build a road to the bridge site in order to move equipment, already shipped from Kansas City, and materials so that actual construction of the foundation can start shortly.” A series of heated talks then ensued between organized labor and county officials, with labor wanting every job the RAINBOW BRIDGE Page 3A

Over 600 new laws in effect for Texans Debby Schamber For The Record

Lawmakers approved many new bills during the legislative session and Gov. Rick Perry signed 1,571 into law. On Sept.

1, 659 of these laws went into effect.

The new laws range from letting Texans sample food at farmers markets to making it legal for the first time in decades to buy switchblades.

Anyone who flees the scene of an accident will face a longer prison sentence and a bigger fine. Underage Texans won’t be able to use indoor tanning beds. And some seeking unemployment benefits will have to be tested for drugs.

There are also laws about using cell phones in school zones, children and school breakfasts and getting out of the way when first responders are rushing to an emergency.

Since the 1950s, it had been a Class A misdemeanor to have, make, repair, sell or transport a switchblade in Texas. But, HB1862 changed the law.

Texans under the age of 18

can no longer use indoor tanning beds. Their parents may give approval, but that is not enough for SB329. Supporters say the goal is to reduce younger Texans’ exposure to artificial sources of ultraviolet radiation, which can lead to skin cancer.

SB376 is meant to encourage those children who are eligible for free or reduced school meals to actually participate in the program. It is the hope of lawmakers, this law will improve their health, boost their academic achievement and improve their “lifelong healthy eating habits.”

HB 347 expands the current limitations on wireless communication devices, cell phone use in an active school crossing zone to include the property of a public elementary, middle, or junior high school for which a local authority has designated a school crossing zone. The use will only be restricted during the time a reduced speed limit is in effect for the school crossing zone. Further, it will not apply to vehicles that are

A Tallant With Glass Debby Schamber For The Record

Gwen Tallant loved stained glass but couldn’t afford the costly beautiful piece of art, so she decided to take classes to learn how to make it herself.

That was 13 years ago.

Now her colorful hobby has her shop full of the glass. She also teaches classes for those who want to learn to make stained glass art too.

But, she is not the first person to admire the beauty of stained glass. Based on remains found at Pompeii and Herculaneum, stained glass

was first used by wealthy Romans in their villas and palaces in the first century A.D. At this time stained glass was considered a domestic luxury rather than an artistic medium. It began to be regarded as an art form STAINED GLASS Page 3A

Justice served after twenty years Debby Schamber For The Record

Twenty years later, a Bridge City woman has finally received the justice she had been longing since she was a girl.

Selinda McNeil was sexually assaulted when she was 10 years old for more than a year by her mother’s husband, Michael Modglin. During a dispute between her mother and

He left Modglin from me — my family, about six months later my mother, my life,” but continued to be a threat in their lives with his she said.

The abuse McNeil suffered at the hands of her mother and the sexual assault from Modglin was a lot for the young girl to handle all alone.

“With him being on probation, it allowed him to drift in and out of our lives,” McNeil said. “My mom didn’t have much of a parental instinct.”

McNeil’s life also began to drift too. She stayed with various friends so she would not

have to go home. She also got into the drug scene in order to cope with her life spinning out of control. Finally, when she was 16 years old, she got married to escape her home life.

But, this would prove to not be the answer either.

This only added to the problems.

Regina Rogers and members of the Julie Rogers “Gift of Life” program stopped by commissioners court Tuesday to inform commissioners of the free prostate cancer screenings 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. Saturday at Lamar Institute of Technology located at 8102 E. Lavaca in Beaumont. The screening is free to those who

On a similar issue, Kelley said, “We had some homeland security funding dedicated for a 800 megahertz repeater because there was an issue just like the cell phones. They’re out there installing that today,” he said.

Commissioner Precinct 2 Owen Burton asked Kelley if he thought it was something he could do without for a little while.

Kelley said he would not be able to maintain the same level of service without replacing him. Payroll is one of the areas the government matches up to 50 percent in Emergency Management, so Kelley said Valenciano’s salary is almost com-

Rainbow Bridge at 75 bridge had to offer. In April, a phone line was run to the bridge site, and state Sen. (and future Gov.) Allan Shivers mediated a written agreement between all parties concerning the labor issue. It was only spoken about in general terms, to the effect that “ ... both sides had come to an understanding.” In May, some union men registered at the National Reemployment office for work on the bridge.

In June, 1936, the Sand Hogs, reported to be “fabled in

story and song,” showed up. So dangerous was the work, they could only work two daily shifts of 45 minutes each.

Their job: to sink the river piers (long hollow cylinders of concrete that looked like a stack of doughnuts) to depths of 100 feet. Concrete was poured into hopper-bottomed buckets. The buckets were raised by a crane and the contents dropped into a steel casing, then eventually lowered deeper and deeper into a “sand island.” Several Sand Hogs

were injured or killed by “the Bends,” a pressure-related malady caused by rising through the water too fast.

One such death was Ben Webb, 47, pronounced at St. Mary Hospital after arriving in a Grammier ambulance.

But you didn’t have to be in the water to die of the Bends. Henry Womack, 32, was walking down Procter Street when he collapsed.

In May, about 100 Sand Hogs went on strike to demand higher pay. County

commissioners approved a $1-per-hour raise for all pay levels. That same month, construction foreman Bruce Lytle, 30, was hit in the head by a steel wall and died at St. Mary.

Knocked unconscious by the blow, he fell into the water and sank immediately.

In 1937, it was reported that painting the bridge was like “ ... whitewashing Pike’s Peak.”

In August, construction employee R. Holzapfel fell from a steel structure 20 feet to the ground. He was briefly in shock and fractured his left arm. He was luckier than Marcus Robinson, 39, who died after falling 170 feet into the water. Around that time, the two sections of the bridge were joined. Famed odd fact collector Robert “Believe It Or Not” Ripley visited Port Arthur and

Stained glass artist when Constantine first permitted Christians to worship openly in 313 A.D., as they began to build churches based on Byzantine models. The earliest surviving example of pictorial stained glass is a Head of Christ from the tenth century excavated from Lorsch Abbey in Germany, according to History of Stained Glass.

Stained glass, as an art and a craft, requires the artistic skill to conceive an appropriate and workable design, and the engineering skills to assemble the pieces. The term stained glass can refer to colored glass as a material or to works created from it.

Tallent has completed many pieces over the years. Some of which include, a Texas star, flowers, crosses, birds, and almost anything else. She often uses patterns or pre-cut beveled glass, but she knows if she can’t find what she is looking for, she can send off a drawing and a pattern will be returned back to her. However, she has been known to “free-hand” a pattern herself. She once saw an inspirational sunset during an outing. When she returned home, she drew it out. Once it was assembled, the one of a kind piece was sold for someone else to enjoy.

Scattered throughout her workshop are the many colors of glass. Some are future projects and others are remnants from past snippets of her work.

“I never knew there were so many shades,” Tallant said.

mentioned his interest in the bridge to a local reporter. Columnist Tommy Griffin, making the 45-minute trek from the foot of the bridge to its peak, said Texas A&M engineer Gibb Gilchrist called the structure “Mae West” because of it’s “come up and see me” attitude.

The bridge was dedicated on Sept. 8, 1938. Mary Elizabeth Mills, daughter of H.O. Mills, cut the ribbon. Crowds gathered at Yellow Jacket Stadium for talks by Texas Gov. James Allred and Orange Mayor William Lea. Businessman E.W. Brown Jr. was also in the Orange delegation.

“I had occasion to be on this bridge last week,” Brown said, “and while standing there looking over the water and surrounding territory, I visualized the possibility of a great industrial center along the Sabine and Neches Rivers. In that mental picture I could see industries of all kinds, both large and small, each playing their part in making the Sabine-Neches district the leading industrial center of the south, with this great structure, the Port Arthur-Orange Bridge, playing a leading part.”

textures of each color. Some of the textures are rolled, granite or hammered. Each texture gives the color a depth and a place for the sun to shine through.

Also scattered on the shelves or on her desk are boxes of band-aids. She admits over the years, she had cut herself more than a few times.

‘Glass is not forgiving,” she said. “It will cut you or it will break.”

Tallant drives to Houston for her glass but it is well worth the drive to come back with her new treasures. Sometimes, the right color of glass can make the project extra special. Such as the deep red glass used as a flame beside a cross which is the most popular item sold for Tallant.

The red glass is more expensive because metallic gold, in very small concentrations is used to produce a rich rubycolored glass. In lower concentrations it produces a less intense red, often marketed as “cranberry glass.” The color is caused by the size and dispersion of gold particles.

Depending on the “look” wanted to achieve, glass can vary in price from $5 to $35 per square foot, according to Tallant.

She begins each project with a pattern of card stock. She uses three pieces of paper for the project. One will be used to place onto the wooden board while the other will be kept in a file for future use. Using a pattern, she draws the

shapes onto the glass. With a glass cutter she runs over the lines she previously drew.

With a gentle snap, she pulls the pieces apart.

Once the pieces are apart, she takes them to the grinder to get rid of the sharp edges.

The pieces are cleaned and placed back onto the board.

Like a jigsaw puzzle, she assembles the pieces to form the picture.

The next step is to put copper foil to flux over everything before soldering the pieces together. Once the pieces are soldered together, she can put the frame around it. Sometimes it is a wooden frame and lead for the smaller pieces or zinc. She rubs on patina, a chemical which will age the metal. The final step is a wax coating which helps to keep it sealed.

Tallant takes up to three hours to complete the smaller pieces. However, she has been known to work on some of the larger and more detailed pieces several days.

“When I finish a piece, it’s the satisfaction of having something done,” she says of her work.

Christmas is a few months away, but to give her art the time and dedication needed, she is taking orders now. She has books of patterns for people to choose from or they can present a favorite picture.

Law enforcement agencies looked for him and he was placed on the ten most wanted list in Orange County. McNeil desparately wanted justice and contacted the America’s Most Wanted TV show, but they declined to air the case.

It was a matter of circumstance which led to his arrest.

He was sitting in a Houston bus station drinking alcohol, which a misdemeanor offense, when he was questioned by police. He was arrested and later extradited to Orange County. Monday he was sentenced by Judge Dennis Powell in the 163rd District Court.

McNeil gathered her courage and gave a victim impact statement. According to McNeil, Modglin cried. But, his pain was nothing compared to what she felt over the years or even that moment.

His “look” had certainly changed and apparently the years and his lifestyle had taken a toll on him. He seemed like an old frail man and not the “monster” McNeil had come to fear.

Following the sentence, McNeil went to the river to take some time to reflect on her life.

Water has a calming effect for McNeil. Once she had gathered her thoughts, she was thankful it was finally over.

McNeil’s mother died of emphysema at the age of 54.

The gap between mother and daughter left a very large hole in McNeil’s heart. Their volatile relationship pushed them further apart over the years to be forever broken.

“She died with me hating

her,” she said. “When he ran, she gave up. She loved him that much.”

However, when Belinda Terrell died, McNeil closed that chapter of her life in an effort to move forward.

Not only did she put the relationship behind her but the drugs too. She has been sober for more than seven years.

As girl and teen, when McNeil was all alone and thinking nobody cared about her, she turned to Bridge City police officer, Joey Hargrave, for support. According to McNeil, he worked to keep her out of foster homes but away from the abuse too.

“He was with me during the darkest hours of my life,” McNeil said. “He is the reason I am here today.”

McNeil is hopeful by telling her story, others will have the courage to stand up to their abusers and not fall into the pitfalls she endured.

“If was really hard, but if I can do it, so can they,” she said.

WE CAN’T BACK DOWN NOW President Obama has reversed decades of presidential war powers. President Reagan didn’t seek congressional authorization before ordering the invasion of Grenada, President George H. Bush didn’t do it before striking Panama, and President Clinton bombed Kosovo without authorization. Many of the legislatures, who called for the president to seek congressional approval before striking Syria, now find themselves in a box. Be careful what you wish for. Now with upcoming elections around the corner they have to go on record, a vote that might not sell too well at home. I bet some wish now they would have kept their mouths shut. The president took a risk by including the congress that has voted no to every proposal he has made. This is different, very different; the reputation of the United States is on the line. Once any president makes a national security decision, like drawing a red line, he has committed our military. For the congress to reject a resolution once we committed to action would bring dire consequences to our reputation abroad, showing a nation not united behind its leader and military. It’s a hard call. A gutsy call by President Obama to go to the congress. Here’s what I believe will happen. The extreme liberal wing of the Democratic Party will vote against it. Also, the far radical right who says no to everything will vote against the resolution. Then you have the grandstanders, who would hope to be president, who will demigod. In the end, I believe the reasonable moderates in both parties will make up a slight majority in both houses. The American people will come to understand that as a nation we can’t afford for the word of our president, a commitment made, not be kept. To do nothing would be worse. The world can not allow any dictatorship to do like Hitler did. If the poisoning of citizens goes unchecked it will spread around the world like a wild fire, because the United States shows it has no backbone and not united. Regardless of congressional approval or not, the president has committed our country, he must follow through or we will be viewed as ununited wimps rather than a world super power. That in itself puts our national security at an ongoing risk. President Obama and Sec. Kerry are not war mongers, and neither am I. Like them I hate it but throughout our history we’ve been called on to do what is right. The poisoning of women and children is not right. Someone must stand up and we are committed. *****I’ve got to move on. It was strange not seeing Shockley at the Express Mart Tuesday morning. I often picked up a tid-bit for this column from him. The ladies at the store just found out he wouldn’t be back. Come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm.

REMEMBERING OUR FRIEND ‘CHOCHISE’ Donald ‘Don’ Shockley, 75, died August 30. Service was held Sunday, Sept. 1, at Claybar Funeral Home Orange. Don’s death serves as proof that death is uncertain and often unexpectedly right around the corner or in other cases not as surprising. That wasn’t the case with ‘Cochise,’ he was not a smoker, was still near his high school weight and played golf regularly. He appeared to be one of the healthiest senior citizens I knew. He looked and acted much younger than his years. That’s why it was such a shock to so many of his family and friends that he had suffered a massive stroke that would take his life. Judy, his wife of 52 years, thanked God that he had not suffered or ended up in a vegetative state. That’s ironic because Don and I had spoken just the day before about people who suffered long illnesses before their death. He had stated that he wanted to go quick. I had commented that long suffering made a heart attack look good.

We had been speaking about the pending funeral of Mildred Lemoine. Many people saw Don at her wake. It was a surprise to Judge Derry Dunn who had spent time visiting with him that in two days Don would be called home. Don had a large variety of friends who came from all walks of life. Because of that he was the most knowledgeable person about almost anything going on in our area. His friendships ran from folks like Sleepy Smith, Sprad to Brad Frye and Johnny Montagne and everyone in between. For several years while we operated out of the old “Creaux’s Nest” in Bridge City, Don, who attended mass every morning, would come by with a cup of coffee for us. He always knew the latest rumor. His ear was always to the ground. There are many ’Cochise’ stories told by many friends. What I know is that he was proud of his family and his community. He took extra pride in his granddaughter, Meagan Shockley, who is on a track scholarship at the University of Houston. When we last spoke he said it was a good thing that she got red shirted last year because she would get five years out of it. He also spoke of an upcoming track meet in Waco, a meet that Judy had planned to attend when she got word about Don and returned home. One of the last phone calls he made was at 5:30 a.m. Thursday to Glenda Thompson. She didn’t discover the call until later. He was rushed to hospital at 2 p.m.

A celebration of his life was held at the Boat Club after his service. Don would have liked that. I always kidded him about being from Call Junction. He corrected me and said he was from Call. “A big difference,” he said. It is hard for me to envision a world without Cochise. I would have thought he would have been here always. Daily he was everywhere, from sporting events to the Lunch Bunch. It will be strange for a lot of us not having him around but the biggest blow is to his family. Our sincere condolences to them. A friend to many has passed. May he rest in peace. Please see obituary.

OUR CONDOLENCES We were sorry to hear about the death of Joan Chumley Pittman, 77, who died Sunday, Sept. 1. A mass of Christian burial will be at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 5 at St. Henry Catholic Church in Bridge City. Visitation is Wednesday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Claybar in Bridge City.

REMEMBERING THE SINGING BRAKEMAN James Charles Rogers was born in Meridian, Miss. on Sept. 8, 1897. Jimmie made his last record on May 24, 1933. He died May 26 of that year. The blue yodeler, the singing brakeman released 110 songs in all and sold 20 million records during the Great Depression and millions more since. His mother died of tuberculosis when he was four. He died of the same thing at age 36. His first record was released in October of 1927. In just six years, Jimmie Rogers became the first rural artist to focus national attention on himself and set the stage for all country artists to follow. If you’re ever in Meridian stop by his museum. The town is also the birthplace of the late Snuffy Smith, of Bridge City. By the way, the Jimmie Rogers stamp came out on May 24, 1972.

The cost was thirteen cents.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Three Cajun womens met for dere weekly brunch. Da conversation turn to da subject of keeping dere mens interested.

C’EST TOUT Fourteen years ago, then Pinehurst Mayor Judge Pete Runnels, with the help of C.R. Nash and city staff launched the first Senior Citizens Labor Day Picnic. Every year it has been a big success. Today, Runnels is again mayor of Pinehurst and has the capable assistance of Judge Joe Parkhurst, city administrator.

I’ve attended all 14 years but by far this year’s event was not only the largest, nearly 900 citizens, but it seemed to be the best over all. The seniors all seem to be in a festive mood with plenty of smiles, handshakes and visiting. Robert’s Restaurant again prepared a great Labor Day meal and also watermelon. Like everyone else, I got to see a lot of friends I hadn’t seen in a long time. I even got to meet pretty Marie Bonin, a regular at Ginger & Co. I also met a young Orange County fellow named Michael Cole, who is running for U.S. Congress against Houston’s Steve Stockman. More on Cole later. He is presenting some good programs and will listen to the voice and needs of Orange County citizens. That‘s something we haven’t had in a long time. I also saw Judge Derry Dunn and Constable David Cagle, who helped sponsor the event. They were the only two elected officials I saw besides city councilman Essie Bellfield.

Everyone I talked to was so thankful and said they were having a great time. Many were moving with the good music from the live band. Mayor Runnels stayed so busy getting compliments he never had time to eat. The senior citizens appreciated it, as does this old Creaux. *****One-thousand new laws were passed by the three legislative sessions in Texas. Six hundred-fifty of them went in affect Sept. 1. We have a half million laws on the books. How in the world can a citizen know what’s lawful and what’s not. They didn’t raise taxes but boy did they raise the fees, That’s a tax anyway. You look at it. However much the politicians claim differently.*****The Wednesday Lunch Bunch will dine at Novrozsky‘s this week and back to Robert‘s next.

Everyone is welcome.*****I’ve gotta go. Thanks for your time.

TxDot to soon begin restoration on historic Cow Bayou Swing Bridge The Texas Transportation Commission, at their Aug. 29 meeting, approved $9.5 million for the restoration of the Cow Bayou Bridge on SH73 in Bridge City. Gibson & Associates, Inc. will be taking on the project which will restore the 72 year-old swing bridge to full working order.

“This project has been in the planning stages for some time now,” said Tucker Ferguson, district engineer for the Beaumont District of

TxDOT. “It’s a historic bridge, so it was important that this be a restoration project instead of a rebuild.”

The two-lane bridge was built in 1941 and originally held north and south bound traffic.

Cow Bayou Bridge was last opened for a boat to pass in 2003. Construction is expected to begin by the end of the year and be completed by the end of 2015.

Beautifying Orange for 60 years

Claybar breaks ground on new mausoleum

Staff Reports For The Record Alvin Johnson was award the Beautification Award by Keep Orange County Beautiful for his 60 plus years of diligent service of keeping the streets of Orange clean.

Born in Center in 1925 and arriving in Orange in 1941 Alvin Johnson has worked many jobs including a long stint with the railroad and another with American Bridge.

For sixty plus years throughout his 88 years of life he has continuously and consistently picked up trash on the streets of Orange sporting a straw hat in the summertime and in the winter wearing a warmer Santa Claus hat.

Collecting and recycling cans have allowed him to supplement his income; but money is not the reason he walks.

He does it for the benefit of exercise and beautifies the streets at the same time.

He does not know how many miles he has walked over the years but as the tall, gangly Mr. Johnson says; “Exercise is good for you.”

Keep Orange County Beautiful, the local non-profit affiliate of Keep Texas Beautiful is proud to recognize Mr. Alvin Johnson, as a Hometown Beautification Hero.

Claybar’s Hillcrest Memorial Gardens announces the groundbreaking of their newest Community Mausoleum project. Phase two construction of the Disciples Mausoleum will begin Wednesday, Sept. 4.

Pre sales began in October 2012 on this 120 mausoleum crypt building and approximately 40 percent have been pre sold.

“This clean and dry above ground burial is not a new idea,” said Dan Naegelin, Di-

rector of Family Services.

“Other examples are the pyramids of Egypt, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Taj Mahal in India.”

“A community mausoleum is simply a large building designed to provide aboveground entombment for a number of people,” said Warren Claybar, President of Claybar Funeral Homes and Cemeteries.

“Sharing the costs of the mausoleum with other individuals makes it more affordable than a private mausoleum.

Crypts are designed to hold casketed remains. Following a

Stepping onto the stage with a Hitchcock thriller at Orange Community Players The Orange Community Players, Inc. begin their regular season in September with “The 39 Steps.”

The 39 Steps is a melodrama adapted from the 1915 novel

by John Buchan and the 1935 film by Alfred Hitchcock. Patrick Barlow rewrote this adaptation in 2005.

The play’s concept calls for the entirety of the 1935 adventure film The 39 Steps to be performed with a cast of only four.

One actor plays the hero, Richard Hannay, an actress (or sometimes actor) plays the three women with whom he has romantic entanglements, and two other actors play every other character in the show: heroes, villains, men, women, children and even the occasional inani-

(Bourque) Bufford. For 16 years, Ronnie worked as a Carman at Union Pacific Railroad. He was a member of Local Union 6452 Brotherhood of Railway Carmen and a past member of Boilmakers Local 587.

Ronnie was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and son. He enjoyed the outdoors such as hunting and fishing and also enjoyed playing his guitar with numerous bands in the area.

Ronnie will be truly missed by all who knew and loved him.

He was preceded in death by his father, Ravis Joseph Bufford; grandparents, Sidney and Qzitte Bufford, Beulah B. Hargrave and Ophe Bufford; and sister, Sugie Lane Vasquez.

Ronnie is survived by his wife, Donna Cox Bufford of Orange; mother, Betty Jane Bufford of Orange; sons, Brandon Chase Bufford and his fiancée, Victoria Lynn Smith of Lumberton, Kendon Leger of Beaumont and Ronnie James Bufford of Gary, Indiana; and daughter, Julie Bufford of Merrillville, Indiana.

He is also survived by his six grandchildren, Dylan James Bufford, Jayden Payne Bufford, Leighla Ruth Meeks, Alexander Nicolas Bufford, Amber Skye Bufford and Breighanna Jo Meeks; brothers, Rickey Bufford of Orange and Jason Bufford of The Colony, Texas; and numerous nieces and nephews.

mate object. This often requires lightning fast quick-changes and occasionally for them to play multiple characters at once.

Thus the play’s serious spy story is played mainly for laughs.

“39 steps” is a two time Tony Award winning hit show which continues to be an audience pleaser.

The New York Times calls it “absurdly enjoyable” and the Daily News says it’s “A Dizzy Delight.”

An amazingly brilliant cast of four plays over 140 characters in this fast-paced thriller that’s great fun for ages 9 to 90.

The 39 Steps curtain goes up at 7:37 p.m., Sept. 19-21, 26-28 and 2:37 p.m. Sept.29 at the OCP Theater located at 708 W. Division Ave. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students which can be paid for at the box office or ordered through their Web site: http://orangecommunityplayers.com/.

casket entombment, the crypt is sealed, and a granite front is attached. Hillcrest Memorial Gardens will allow a choice between three bronze plaques and a vase for each individual crypt.”

Mr. Roy McDonald, Grounds Manager of Claybar Cemeteries, will oversee the construction project and said, “Our new mausoleums offer a viable alternative for those who simply have an aversion to being interred in the ground. Furthermore, with the growing shortage of available land for cemetery use, mausoleums allow for a max-

imum number of entombments in a minimum amount of space.”

Katie Mims, Community Outreach Coordinator for Claybar Funeral Homes and Cemeteries, said one of the most common questions she is asked about Mausoleum’s is: Isn’t mausoleum entombment really expensive?

In most cases, the cost of mausoleum entombment is comparable to the costs of interment in a lot with a cemetery vault and monument.

‘THE RECORD’ HOMETOWN HIGHLIGHTS

Good things, bad things seen in area games HOMETOWN FOOTBALL GABRIEL PRUETT FOR THE RECORD

There were some good signs and bad signs on area football fields this week as the first games were played in the 2013 sea- GABE PRUETT son.

The beauty of all the action was it was the first games of the year and coaches had time this week to correct mistakes before Week 1 gets going this Friday.

First we start in Bridge City where our Cardinals welcomed in the No. 1 Newton Eagles.

Newton showed why it was ranked No. 1 in Class 2A with speed.

Coach Cris Stump on Saturday said the Eagles this year were speedy than the year before which was hard to believe.

The Eagles snatched a 44-20 win over the Cardinals and scored on the game’s second play.

Newton’s Kevin Shorter rushed for 122 yards while quarterback Roney Elam threw for over 200 yards.

Bridge City did show a lot of promise on offense against the Eagles which is something Stump should be very encouraged to have seen this past Friday.

Junior quarterback Chase Shugart was 13-for-30 passing for 174 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. He also rushed for 26 yards on nine carries.

There were two receivers who shined for the Cardinals against the Eagles. Keaton Langston hauled in a 36-yard touchdown reception while Malcolm Busby had three receptions for 69 yards.

Jonah Lemoine and the rest of the Cardinals running backs had SEE HOMETOWN PAGE 5B

Kaz’s Fearless Football Forecast Joe Kazmar - Games of the Week

WEST ORANGE-STARK over PORT NECHES-GROVES This Friday night game at The Reservation should give those preseason prognosticating eggheads their first indication of whether Silsbee is really the team to beat in 21-3A by how badly the Mustangs lose to PNG, if they lose at all. After all, the Indians haven’t defeated the Mustangs in a LONG time, although they’ve been favored to do it EVERY time.

SILSBEE over LITTLE CYPRESS-MAURICEVILLE

The Bobcat defense swarms an East Chambers ball carrier. No. 52 Jerrod Watkins is on the tackles assisted by Colby Choate, 23, Jesse Winfree, 40, Lane Frillou, 3, Mason Frillou, 4 and the rest of the Orangefield defense.

RECORD PHOTOS: Mark Dunn

This is the second tough team the Bears will face on their killer non-district schedule. And the Tigers come to town favored like they were last week, wondering if Ol’ Man Upset is going to get them again. But the Bears are going to have to find more offense if they plan on surprising these angry Tigers.

JASPER over ORANGEFIELD The Bobcats did a marvelous job of coming back from a fourth-period deficit to pull out that 22-21 victory over a scrappy East Chambers team last week. And they will be hosting another playoff-bound eleven Friday night who appear to be getting better each week.

VIDOR over BRIDGE CITY The Cardinals seem to be jumping right out of the frying pan and into the fire as they travel to Pirate Stadium for their encounter with Vidor Friday night after facing perhaps the best team in Class 2A last week. And this Class 4A team seems to be in midseason form already, so it could be another long night for the Redbirds.

DEWEYVILLE over EVADALE

Orangefield Bobcat Matthew Watkins moves the ball against East Chambers.

Let’s hope last week’s blowout victory over Sabine Pass didn’t go to the Pirates’ heads because this week’s foe is a much more formidable opponent that’s licking their wounds from last week’s defeat from Warren. The Pirates need to

continue playing well in this home opener.

ORANGE COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN over HOUSTON EMERY WEINER The Lions return to the friendly confines of Lions Stadium for this Saturday afternoon game that kicks off at 4:20 p.m.

LOUISIANA TECH over LAMAR—The Big Red had their fun last week lambasting Oklahoma Panhandle State 75-0, but now they must face a bona fide winner from Division I in Ruston, who suffered a loss last Saturday and is very eager to even their record at the expense of the Cardinals.

McNEESE STATE over ARKANSAS-PINE BLUFF—The Cowboys are playing someone their own size this week on Louis Bonnette Field in Lake Charles after their stunning 5321 upset win over South Florida Saturday night in Tampa.

HIGH SCHOOL—Beaumont West Brook over Beaumont Central, Port Arthur Memorial over Beaumont Ozen, Barbers Hill over Lumberton, Livingston over Dayton, Nederland over Goose Creek Memorial, HamshireFannett over Anahuac, Hardin-Jefferson over Splendora, Kirbyville over Buna, Hull-Daisetta over Kountze, West Hardin over Sabine Pass, Newton over Liberty, Warren over Burkeville, Alvin Living Stones over High Island, Woodville over Shepherd, West Sabine over Hemphill, Lufkin over Tyler Lee, Crosby over Willis, Cleveland over Madisonville, Tarkington over Hardin, Navasota over Coldspring, Huffman over Houston Worthing, Texas City over La Marque.

2013 NFL season set to open tomorrow KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

All those murderous two-a-day training camps and exhibition games are now a thing of the past as the 32 National Football League teams have trimmed their respective rosters down to the league-mandated 53 players.

It’s now time to see how the six weeks of training camps have benefited each team as the play begins for real this week. The world champion Baltimore Ravens travel to the Mile-High City tomorrow to take on the team many preseason prognosticators believe could be this year’s champ—the Denver Broncos.

And while these two talented teams face off, the two Lone Star State NFL franchises once again are full of optimism that 2013 will be the year they rise to new heights.

Our Houston Texans (12-4) should have the inside track to have a season that could very well result in a Super Bowl appearance while the Dallas Cowboys (8-8) continue to wish their way back to the game’s ultimate pinnacle.

On paper the Texans are the deepest, most experienced and most dangerous team Bob McNair has ever owned and sport a 22-10 record and two divisional championships in the last two years, according to the special football edition in Sunday’s Houston Chronicle.

But the Texans must avoid another late-season collapse like last season which cost them the home-field advantage after the first round of the NFL playoffs. They finished 1-4 and were outscored 31-12 in each of those five final regular-season games.

The Texans had to let some real bona fide NFL players go to get down to the 53-man limit while the Cowboys try to add some depth to their aging roster.

The Cowboys are trying to wriggle free from mediocrity by taking the play-calling duties away from Head Coach Jason Garrett and giving that duty to veteran offensive coordinator Bill Callahan and hiring 72-year-old Monte Kiffin as the defensive coordinator.

According to the team’s executive vice-president Stephen Jones, these changes plus Garrett’s overall involvement and the modifications in the Cowboys’ blocking schemes are the ingredients of the club’s “secret sauce” that will enable them to return to winning Super Bowls.

If the younger motor-mouth checked the facts, he would discover the Cowboys are just 2-7 in the playoffs since 1995.

But all of the pressure to win will still be on the shoulders of 33-year-old quarterback Tony Romo.

The Denver Broncos (13-3) were a defensive secondary breakdown and Jacoby Jones 70-yard reception away from the AFC championship game last season and should be better in 2013.

The Atlanta Falcons (13-3) lost 28-24 to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC championship game and should be at least as

strong this season after adding punishing running back Stephen Jackson and retaining Hall of Fame-bound tight end Tony Gonzalez.

The Green Bay Packers (11-5) lost to the 49ers 45-31 in the second round of the playoffs as they continue to impress but fail to deliver since winning the Super Bowl two years ago.

The Seattle Seahawks (11-5) have an offense led by quarterback Russell Wilson, who tied the rookie record with 26 touchdown passes, and Marshawn Lynch carrying the mail and the league’s most physical defense led by Orange native Earl Thomas, the two-time All-Pro free safety.

This is the way our Korner foresees the outcome of each division in the two conferences: AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE

Redfish don’t mind hot weather COLBURN-FISHING CAPT. DICKIE COLBURN FOR THE RECORD

While we are rapidly approaching that magical time of the year when the fish bite as well in the middle of the day as they do at dark-thirty, I still wasn’t ready to take that chance. My clients stumbled out of their Tahoe in the pre-dawn darkness and boarded the boat with more concern over the remaining coffee in their Styrofoam cup than any introductions.

Twenty minutes later the most alert of the three lobbed a pink Pro Dog reasonably close to a submerged pile of shell in four feet of water.

Conquer the conditions and crowds OUTDOORS WEEKLY CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE FOR THE RECORD

The beautiful weather that is associated with the summer season has two definite sides, one that is pleasant and the other that is just down right nasty. During this most unstable time of the year it is often beneficial to have several different fishing options in order to make your trip successful.

This time of the year really was made for the folks who like to drift live bait under a popping cork or along the bottom. This popular technique accounts for some outstanding action during the year.

Perhaps the only drawback to this program is the fact that most of this done in the main lake where the winds can be downright brutal at times. As long as the weather permits a safe and pleasant condition this is one of the best methods for catching fish on Sabine Lake, especially when kids are involved.

Now if the wind picks up and makes the main lake off limits you still have several options left. The big reef at the south end of the lake offers up some

t remendou s fishing for speckled trout and flounder as well as also being somewhat protected from the wind. Soft plastics on lead head jigs drifted over the oyster reefs is the most popular form of chasing trout in this area.

Flounder fishermen do very well down there with live finger mullet or mud minnows fished on a carolina rig. Perhaps the only drawback to fishing the reef is traffic. At certain times this place can get jam packed with boats as well as folks fishing from the bank and the piers.

Now if the thought of sharing the water with a healthy number of anglers is not what you desire, don’t worry. The big equalizer at this time of year is the deeper water that surrounds Sabine Lake, the Sabine and Neches rivers along with Inter coastal and the ship channels are all holding really good numbers of fish and few fishermen. On a recent scouting trip into these areas I found fish at several stops. By locating the drop

off and setting up where you could fish shallow or fish deep you can find a pattern that will work well for you. Main points along the river or smaller points that are less noticeable near the deep water seemed to be like magnets for both trout and redfish. Live bait on a small 1/2 ounce carolina rig was just the ticket for this type of presentation.

Fishing in the rivers requires a little more thought on your setup as well as some tidal movement. When you decide that you want to fish a particular area be sure not to stir up the area and always approach as quiet as possible. The best method that we found once we anchored up was to let your bait be carried gently with the tide while free spooling line from your reel. Cast up current and let the bait come down in a natural manner and you will draw more strikes. If current is slow or not present you need to concentrate on the presence of bait, even in slack conditions you can find fish as long you can you find bait in the area.

By using a deep water pattern you can avoid fighting crowds and be treated to some outstanding fishing as well.

Also at this time of the year

Oils well for local motorists Mark Dunn For The Record

In as little as 10 minutes automobile owners can extend the life of their vehicle for years and improve gas mileage dramatically.

According to Dolf Dickson, a 22-year automotive service professional, a simple change of oil on a regular basis can enhance engine fuel economy and provide protection over a wide temperature range and even helping to protect the emissions system.

“To prolong the life of your vehicle, it is important to provide the basic routine care it requires,” said Dickson, the owner of Cardinal Quick Lube in Bridge City. “Oil is the lifeblood that keeps key engine components in good working condition by reducing friction and wear.”

According to Dickson, over-

MUSTANG INSIDER MERI ELEN JACOBS FOR THE RECORD

It was a typical Orange Bowl match-up Friday night at Battlin’ Bear Stadium but the young Mustangs were able to hold on and beat the Bears, 213. The Bears never gave up, making WO-S fight until the last few seconds ticked off of the clock.

The feisty Bears struck first when they were able to move the ball down the field but stalled and had to settle for a Trent Manuel 33-yard field goal.

Quarterback Chase Rutledge, who replaced three-year

starter Jimmy Salter, was able to get the Mustang offense going late in the first quarter after moving the ball down the field with a balanced attack. Running back Chris James was able to hit pay dirt when he hit a wall of LC-M defenders in the middle of the field but bounced around the right side for a 16yard score. Rodickson Cano’s PAT was good and the Mustangs were up over the Bears, 7-3.

Orangefield avenged one of its losses from last year this past Friday with a 22-21 win over East Chambers.

On third down, James took the hand-off up the middle for the touchdown and Cano’s PAT made it 14-3 going into the half.

After the half, neither team seemed able to get anything going until James took the ball on a 36-yard scamper that set up first and goal. Rutledge took the honors on a three yard keeper to put the game at 21-3, with 9 minutes left in the game.

LC-M had 115 on the ground and 49 in the air.

LC-M’s Caleb Harley came in as the leading returning passer in District 20-4A yet the Mustangs limited Harley to under 50 yards passing.

Chris James rushed for 92 yards for the Mustangs while quarterback Chase Rutledge passed for nearly 115 yards in his quarterback debut.

Things get no easier for both these teams this week.

LC-M will play host to Silsbee who lost this past week to Port Neches-Groves. The same Indians will be at home this week against the Mustangs.

Cardinals win in record-setting fashion The Lamar Cardinals opened the 2013 season by hammering Oklahoma State in record-setting fashion, 75-0, Saturday night at the Provost Umphrey Stadium in Beaumont. Lamar set new school marks for points scored, margin of victory, total yards of offense, most touchdown passes, individual touchdown passes (Caleb Berry), team extra points and extra points by an individual (Justin Stout).

Lamar wasted no time in cracking the scoreboard. Junior Kevin Johnson caught the first of his two receptions when he hauled in a 13-yard pass from Caleb Berry with 12:39 in first. The Cardinals were back on the attack just over three minutes later following an OPSU fumble. Freshman Kade Harrington cashed in the turnover by recording his first career touchdown on a 13-yard scamper to make it 14-0.

The Cardinals forced another fumble on the Aggies’ very next play from scrimmage. Two plays later junior Caleb Berry connected with Payden McVey from 21 yards out to give the Cardinals an insurmountable 21-point lead.

Berry completed his third touchdown pass of the night when he connected with Jordan Edwards for a 25-yard scoring strike with 3:44 remaining in the quarter.

The second quarter saw more of the same as Lamar scored four more touchdowns to take a 56-point lead. Berry connected with Lamar receivers for scoring plays of 22, 72, and 20 yards, while

Harrington added his second career touchdown run. The 72-yard completion was to junior Mark Roberts with 5:22 remaining in the half.

OPSU could manage only 180 yards of total offense against an opportunistic defense. Lamar forced seven fumbles recovering four, and picked off two passes.

The Cardinal defense continued to pitch a shutout in the second half, while the offense tacked on 19 more points.

Johnson caught the second of his two scores with an acrobatic one-handed grab early in the third. Following a safety, Lamar added a 21-yard field goal from Juan Carranco and a 10-yard Caleb Harmon TD run to close out the scoring.

Berry finished the game completing 17-of-27 passes for 256 yards and six touchdowns.

Berry also carried the ball three times for a team-high 74 yards.

The Cardinals set several records Saturday. The 75 points were the most scored by a Lamar football team, while the 75-point margin of victory was also the largest in school history.

Lamar finished the night with 615 yards of total offense (292 rushing and 332 passing).

Saturday night’s total eclipsed the old mark of 581 against Louisiana-Monroe in 1987.

The Cardinals return to action Saturday when they travel to Ruston, La. to face Louisiana Tech. The game against the Bulldogs is slated to begin at 6 p.m. from Joe Aillet Stadium.

Houston air quality continues to improve Provost Umphrey attorneys win $32 million dollar verdict against Dominos Pizza the deadline. From pre-appliStaff Reports For The Record

Today the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed to find the Houston metro area is on track to attain an important milestone in ozone-pollution reduction.

This follows a nearly 25-year trend of decreasing ozone readings for the area, despite significant population growth.

The EPA is proposing to approve the State of Texas’ plan for the Houston area to attain the 1997 standard for groundlevel ozone pollution by 2018.

This means EPA believes the emissions-cutting measures in the state’s plan have put the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria area on track to meet the 1997 federal 8-hour ozone standard of 84 parts per billion by 2018. The proposed rule is being made available for a 30 day review and comment by the public. After considering

comments, EPA will take final action.

Historic ozone levels in the Houston area show this anticipated decline is part of a decades-long trend. Since the late 1980s, ozone levels have fallen steadily from about 120 parts per billion to current levels of 88 parts per billion. These reductions are even more impressive given Houston’s rank as one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the country. While reducing ozone pollution brings Houston closer to attaining federal clean-air standards, it also improves people’s health, especially among children, the elderly, and those with breathing problems.

As one of the main industrial areas of Texas, Houston will also benefit from monitoring greenhouse gas emissions.

To date, EPA has issued all final greenhouse gas permits to eligible Texas facilities by

cation consultations to postapplication technical sessions, EPA’s permitting program helps Texas companies obtain their greenhouse gas permits within the one-year statutory deadline.

The pre-consultation program has reduced the number of incomplete applications and helped many companies submit information required to complete their permit applications. GHG permit applications are processed in order of a complete application submitted to the agency. EPA has issued 18 final permits and is working on another 21.

H-E-B adopts a 193 fire stations in Houston for their annual Helping Heroes Tradition Staff Reports For The Record

H-E-B will host its company-wide volunteer service project, Helping Heroes for the ninth year on Wednesday, Sept. 11. More than 1,200 Partners (employees) from 85 H-E-B stores, administration offices and manufacturing support centers in Houston will adopt 193 fire stations to honor firefighters for their dedication and service to the community.

H-E-B Partners will be cooking a hot meal for fire fighters

in addition to lending a helping hand around the station.

“Our partners look forward to Helping Heroes each year because it gives us a hands-on opportunity to thank these firefighters for risking their lives for our community and appreciate their dedication to their job,” said Cyndy GarzaRoberts, director of Public Affairs, H-E-B Houston region.

“Whether we are preparing a hot meal or helping with chores around the station, this program allows H-E-B to honor some of the bravest mem-

bers of our community.”

H-E-B established Helping Heroes in 2005 in honor of the company’s 100th anniversary.

It also honors the September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance that pays tribute to the men and women rescue teams who risked and lost their lives at the World Trade Center.

DPS Names Joe Peters as New Assistant Director of Driver License Division Staff Reports For The Record

The Texas Public Safety Commission (PSC) and Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Director Steven McCraw this month approved the appointment of Joe Peters as Assistant Director (AD) of the DPS Driver License Division.

Peters had served as interim AD of the division since June, and his promotion was approved during the recent PSC meeting.

“I have absolute confidence that with his proven leadership and unequivocal integrity, AD Peters will successfully lead the Driver License Division and continue the department’s

efforts to enhance customer service operations and improve technological capabilities necessary to provide superior service to the people of Texas,” said Director McCraw.

AD Peters has served the state for approximately three decades, beginning that service as a state trooper in 1968 when he joined DPS. In addition, he completed three years of military service as an Army Criminal Investigation Division agent at Ft. Meade, Md., and South Korea.

After holding various positions within DPS, he ultimately retired as a sergeant with the Texas Rangers in 1998.

After retirement, he worked with the Sheriffs’ Association

Cardinal Quick Lube is the key factor,” he says.

Even so, neglecting routine oil changes, can be hazardous to the health of the engine and cause permanent damage. The threat is the buildup of sludge that reduces or shuts off oil circulation and can mean thousands of dollars to repair or replace an engine. Sludge is a thickening and breakdown of the oil as it deteriorates, as moisture and contaminants build up. This causes the oil to gel, resulting in excess wear as friction increases.

Dickson recommends high quality motor oil products such as Penzoil. “It doesn’t just help prevent sludge, they are designed to clear away sludge.

They also protect engine components from oxidation and corrosion.”

In other words, an oil change does a lot more than just lubricate.

Motor oil can be segmented into four basic varieties—synthetic oil, synthetic blends,

of Texas as interoperable communications project manager and later as the director of the Border Research and Technology Center in a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, National Institute of Justice.

In January 2012, AD Peters rejoined DPS as Special Assistant to the Director, and was instrumental in helping the department obtain critical resources and funding during the 83rd Regular Legislative Session. He graduated from Southwest Texas State University (now Texas State University) earning a bachelor’s degree, and is licensed as a Master Peace Officer.

He replaces Rebecca Davio.

high mileage oil and conventional oil.

Dickson says choosing the correct oil is dependent on the vehicle, owner preferences and recommendations of the auto maker.

He say that at Cardinal Quick Lube consumers can be assured of a full professional

inspection of the vehicle’s systems to confirm everything is in proper working order, and to keep an eye on “wear and tear” related items.

Staff Reports For The Record

A Beaumont jury recently determined the negligence of Dominos Pizza resulted in a deadly car accident caused by a pizza delivery driver. On Aug. 11, 2012 a Dominos delivery driver lost control of his vehicle and hit a car carrying Devavaram and Ruth Christopher of Beaumont. Ruth Christopher died the following morning and Devavaram was left with a permanent traumatic brain injury.

The cause of the accident was later determined to be the defective, worn tires on the delivery vehicle, one of which was without any tread. The delivery driver, rushing to meet Dominos Pizza’s internal 30-minute delivery rule, was

also cited for Failure to Control Speed. Ruth Christopher was 65 years old and Devavaram Christopher is now 70.

The couple had spent the last 20 years of their life serving as Christian missionaries.

“We learned that Dominos has a very broad, undefined corporate policy that delivery drivers’ vehicles should be inspected,” says Provost Umphrey attorney Chip Ferguson. “However, Dominos does not enforce this policy with their franchises, and that led to the accident that took the life of Ruth Christopher and permanently disabled Devavaram Christopher. We also learned that Domino’s enforces a tragically unsafe delivery method by providing bonuses and other incentives for fast

delivery.”

Chip Ferguson and Larry Hunter of Provost Umphrey represented the Christopher family. The $32 million awarded is strictly actual damages, with no punitive damages included. It is believed to be one of, if not the, largest actual damages verdict ever returned against Dominos Pizza.

For more than forty years, Provost Umphrey’s mission has remained to seek justice for those suffering from a personal injury, wrongful death or other legal wrong across Texas and nationwide through their lawyers in Beaumont and Houston, Little Rock, Ark. and Nashville, Tenn.
