5 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK

HURRICANE IKE Debby Schamber For The Record

T

his week marks the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Ike which hit Southeast Texas Sept. 13, 2008 and left many areas devastated in the months to follow. For some it has taken years to fully recover.

It was the ninth named storm, fifth hurricane, and third major hurricane of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season. It was a Cape Verde-type hurricane which started as a tropical disturbance near Africa at the end of August. On Sept. 1, 2008, it became a tropical storm west of the Cape Verde islands. By the early morning hours of Sept. 4, Ike was a Category 4 hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph which made it the most intense Atlantic

storm of 2008. Ike passed over the Turks and Caicos Islands as Category 4, with winds 135 mph on Sept. 7. Moving west along Cuba, it made two landfalls as a Category 4 hurricane on Sept. 7 and as a Category 1 hurricane two days later. At one point, Ike was over 600 miles in diameter.

The storm had come ashore with high winds and towering waves which pushed boats ashore, smashed many houses and flooded thousands of buildings. Power was knocked out to millions of customers.

Many waited weeks or months for service to be returned. The storm first made landfall at 2:10 a.m. in Galveston as a strong Category 2 hurricane.

The hurricane force winds extended 120 miles from the center and tropical storm force winds extended far beyond that. For the state of Texas, it

was also one of the most costliest.

However, the storm surge was slowly moving into the area long before the storm actually hit. The water began to cover roadways and moved into the neighborhoods.

With Ike moving into the Gulf, thousands of people fled the area. This meant about 84,000 Orange County residents and more 250,000 Jefferson County residents filled up the roadways as they tried to escape.

Parts of Orange County suffered the wrath of the storm more than others. Many lost their houses or businesses. For weeks, many slept in tents, stayed with family or friends while some left everything behind to start life somewhere

Debby Schamber For The Record

All the preparation in the world was not enough for what Joey Hargrave, the Interim Police Chief, and HARGRAVE Bridge City officers were about to endure in the days following the landfall of Hurricane Ike on Sept. 14, 2008.

However, Hargrave attend-

ed frequent emergency management meetings. The closer Ike got to the city, the briefings were every few hours.

“There was a lot of speculation, but we had a pretty good idea the city was going to be flooded,” Hargrave said.

Hargrave saw the water “creeping” into the city about First Responders in Bridge City transport citizens by boat on Texas Ave. on the morning of Sept. 13. This photo was taken

24 hours before the storm arrived. The areas near the marsh were the first to have issues with the water. Hargrave knew it would only get worse, especially when it started to rain.

Most of the citizens of Bridge City had evacuated leaving the town empty.

“It was an eerie feeling,” Hargrave said.

Finally, at the end of the long day, Hargrave and fellow emergency personnel went to

This home on Strapper Street in Bridge City was totally demolished

by Hurricane Ike.

At the main intersection of Texas Ave. and Roundbunch the twisted remains of this convenience store remained for months.

Hurricane Ike remembered else. People were rescued from roof tops or attics and carried to safety by boats or heavy equipment.

The effects of Hurricane Ike in Texas were crippling and long-lasting. Ike’s effects included deaths, widespread damage, and impacted the price and availability of oil and gas.

As of Dec. 27, 2008, 37 people are known to have lost their lives in Texas due to Ike while hundreds are still missing.

In Orange County, Greg Walker, of Port Neches, attempted to travel on Highway

87 on his way home. But, the rising flood waters would prevent him from making it and contributed to his death. The 40-year-old father of three was returning from Louisiana, where he had taken his family.

Around 2:30 a.m., Walker told a 911 dispatcher that he was going to try to swim to safety. He was instructed to use his seat cushions as a flotation device. He tried calling his wife, but the line went dead.

Orange County officials used search teams, helicopters and cadaver dogs but could not find Walker. Fifteen days

after Walker’s last call, volunteers from Texas EquuSearch discovered his body in a treeline levee a mile from where his truck was found.

An estimated 100,000 homes had been flooded in Texas. Locally, those who had evacuated came back to a mess. Houses were destroyed.

People who had gotten onto a bus and evacuated to a shelter parked their car near Lamar State College-Orange. When they returned, the discovered their vehicles has been under water and ruined.

After a much talked about debacle, FEMA trailers began

From Page 1B

to arrive in the area. FEMA officials estimated 2,000 mobile homes and park model homes to be in Southeast Texas for residents whose houses were destroyed as a result of Hurricane Ike. It was a frequent occasion to see the trailers being moved in and out of the surrounding cities.

Citizens worked to repair their homes while for some it took a bit longer as they fought with insurance companies for what they both thought was fair.

Local schools struggled at first. Some closed, but opened as soon as they could. Four

weeks after the storm hit, BCISD was back in business.

They moved students around and brought in trailers for the task of giving students as sense of normalcy. After many renovations, schools were opened.

Over the next few years, local cities worked with homeowners to find a solution about their condemned properties.

Some qualified for buy-out programs while others faced demolition.

As each hurricane season approaches, area citizens hold their breath while they hope for the best. The 2013 Atlantic hurricane season, which forecasters had predicted would be more active than normal, has turned out to be something of a dud so far as an un-

usual calm hangs over the tropics. As the season heads into the historic peak for activity, it may even enter the record books as marking the quietest start to any Atlantic hurricane season in decades.

However, lately, it may be Humberto which will start off the season which is currently a strengthening tropical storm.

As of Sept. 10, there have been no hurricanes so far during the 2013 season in the Atlantic. However, Humberto, near the Cape Verde Islands on Monday has a chance at becoming the Atlantic’s first hurricane by later Tuesday. If Humberto strengthens to a hurricane and does so before Wednesday midday, the lateforming hurricane record will remain intact.

Bridge City moves forward since Hurricane Ike Debby Schamber For The Record

It’s been five years since Hurricane Ike came to town, but according to City Manager, Jerry Jones, the city’s recovery has been “pretty phenomenal.”

As the storm approached, and looked certain to come to Southeast Texas, city officials took a gamble and planned ahead for generators. The day after they returned, the generators arrived which allowed them to get the sewer/water plants and lift stations up and running with the much need-

ed power.

City officials have worked with homeowners and torn down about 100 houses that were damaged in the storm.

There are about 15 more houses on a list to be torn down within the next few months.

The homeowners have qualified for a program which assists with the costs. There are still other houses to be taken care of as well.

Five years after the storm, the city is still doing government funded Hurricane Ike related projects. City officials received $3.2 million from FEMA as recently as last week

to continue on their many projects.

As a result of all the funds received, about 85 percent of all the streets in Bridge City are being reconstructed, according to Jones.

The city initially got money for immediate needs. But, larger amounts for bigger projects didn’t start until later.

The first check was given to the city in June 2009.

“At the time we did what we could and for some items we were later reimbursed, but the majority of projects had to wait,” Jones said.

Initially, money was used to

clean out the ditches, which were filled with debris, to allow for better water flow. They also used the funds for debris cleanup of the sewer systems in an effort to get the city up and running. The city was able to get the water and sewer up and running within 24 hours.

The city received about $18 million from FEMA grants to do a sewer rehabilitation. They spent the money cleaning sewer lines along with the other parts of the sewer system. In addition, they repaired or replaced the lift stations, manholes, pumps, motors and

controls due to the salt water intrusion. In addition, new generators were added to the water/sewer plants and all major lift stations.

Overall, it took roughly $21 million to get the city back to where it was before Hurricane Ike. “It’s great. We are appreciative to get everything back where it was,” Jones said.

However, he added, what city officials are the most excited about is the city population is growing again. Since the storm there are 65 new houses in Bridge City.

But, it has been a long road

to recovery. Of the nearly 3,800 houses in Bridge City, all but 16 were left unlivable. A large percentage of residents have recovered. The businesses also managed a come back.

However, some left the area.

The former Pizza Hut may be gone, but has been replaced by Pinehurst Barbecue.

Overall, it has been a long drawn out process, but in the end worth it, according to Jones.

“It’s remarkable how far we have come,” Jones said. “But, it could not have been done without the citizens.”

OVERCOMING IKE, GOOD LEADERSHIP, STRONG PEOPLE This week on Sept. 13, we mark the fifth anniversary since Ike, the hurricane, blew into Orange County and left the worse devastation on our community, since the storm of 1865, the year the Civil War ended, wiped out the city of Orange. The storm left only four homes standing.

Today’s recovery, especially to the community of Bridge City, seemed a far away dream of five years ago. Thanks to the leadership of Mayor Kirk Roccaforte and help from Houston Mayor Bill White, we got needed help from FEMA. Thanks also to City Manager Jerry Jones and the city administration, the city has made a remarkable comeback.

Much has changed in Bridge City since that horrible storm.

In so many cases the improvements have been for the better.

The entire infrastructure is far better today. Blight areas are no more. Streets, sewer and water improvements have all been advanced. Jones and the city continue to make necessary improvements. The vast improvements by the school district have given the students state-of-the-art school buildings second to none. Meanwhile, under the leadership of County Judge Carl Thibodeaux many improvements have added much value to Orange county assets. The county has been hit by two storms, Rita and Ike. Rita destroyed a million trees and left destruction, causing the county to dig deep into their cash reserves, then came Ike. Today many new buildings stand out across the county, all paid for, debt free. What changed the most in Bridge City is the makeup of it’s people. Many of my old friends have left, leery of facing more storms. Now young couples have come, like we all did many years ago. It’s a new day for an old community. Better days are yet to come as a good community continues to grow with a new generation of citizens.*****I need to move on. Please come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm.

12 YEARS LATER--THE AFTERMATH OF 9-11 We’ve come on a dozen years since the 911 terror attacks. A month later, in Oct. 2001, the United States invaded Afghanistan. Nine out of ten Americans supported the invasion and war. The longest war in U.S. history is now the most unpopular American war ever. Not Vietnam, Korea or Iraq has ever fallen so far in public esteem. Never has U.S. support started so high and sunk so low. Now the nation debates a military strike in Syria while the bad taste of Afghanistan, that began as a righteous fight for as long as it took, plunges 60 percentage points.

Through the 12 years of 9-11 we are reminded, for better or worse, why we fight. If you’re one of the Americans who waver, all you have to do is watch the video of men and women jumping from the 100th floor of the World Trade Center. Think about the choice they had to make, stay and burn or fall 1,000 feet to their death. Since then President Obama ordered the killing of Bin Laden and was successful. Just over a year from now, we will leave behind the longest war in our history in Afghanistan. The 9-11 anniversaries remind us of our obligations in crisis, such as Syria and Assad using Sarin, poison gas to kill his own citizens. Americans are weary of war but for the most part, Americans believe that morally we must always fall on the side of right. The U.S. is the only country that has the might to stop what someday could become a world disaster, using poisonous gas at will because back in 2013 it wasn’t held in check.

Just my thoughts on this 9-11 anniversary. Do you recall where you were on that dreadful day? Not too long after we leave Afghanistan the Taliban will again rule. Barbers will no longer do business because compulsory beards will be back. Meanwhile, what do we do about Assad and his poison, ignore it or confront it?

HUMMINGBIRDS PREPARE FOR FLIGHT SOUTH The Ruby-throated hummingbird is a common sight this time of year. Those are the ones that are migrating. They are eating plenty, preparing for a 24-hour journey over the Gulf.

They’re getting their bodyweight up so they can go 24 hours without eating. They are easy to spot, the male has a ruby throat, the female does not. They winter in southern Mexico, South America, the West Indies and even Costa Rico. Did you know a hummingbird weighs as much as a penny and uses spider webs to secure it’s nest to a tree? The bird has a pellet size brain, lays an egg the size of a blueberry and has two broods a year from two eggs? I find them a delight to watch. They’re tough for their size. They don’t fly at the speed of a bullet, it just appears that way.

THIS AND THAT “American Idol” is betting that Jennifer (J-Lo) Lopez, Harry Connick, Jr. and Keith Urban will fare better with viewers than the bickering divas Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj did last season.

C’EST TOUT Closing on a serious note, President Barack Obama addressed the nation Tuesday evening. All major TV networks and cable news channels, including C-Span and PBS carried his message. On Monday, former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton weighed in on the use of chemicals by Syrian President Assad to poison his citizens, including women and children. Russia offered a proposal that Assad would give up his stockpile of Sarin gas, which by the way he had denied he had, for not being attacked by the United States. The U.S. Congress was yet to vote on a resolution approving a strike if diplomacy doesn’t work. Personally, I believe the Russian proposal is a stall. I wouldn’t trust Russia in an outhouse with a mussel on. The big issue is that giving the President our confidence to call the shots on any national security problem is being blocked by the extremist in both parties. Sen. Rand Paul however has flipflopped. Diplomacy will work only if the U.S. is united and stays strong. A no vote by the congress will weaken the U.S. in the eyes of the world, giving a green light to other rogue countries and dictators. It sends a message to Iran that they can escalate their goal for nuclear weapons. I don’t believe, if the congress doesn’t back their Commander-in-Chief that any president in the future will ever again go to the congress for a resolution. Our President can carry a big stick that keeps the world and America safer in times of national security if we are one, united nation. Assad needs to go; but you can forget that. If we can’t even strike his chemical facilities, what do we do if he decides to spray Israel with chemical warfare? Do we sit idly by?

The offer from Russia and a diplomatic solution came only after Obama’s threat to strike. Never before has a president been put in this spot, and it will affect every president that follows.

There comes a time in all generations when we must all stand tall together as one nation, with one commander. It’s no time to play politics and look weak. *****Thanks for your time. Take care and God bless.

Hurricane Ike responders

First Responders in Bridge City rescue citizens from a trailer home in the Victory Gardens area on the morning of Sept. 13. This photo was taken by Jana Campbell a resident in one of the rescue vehicle.

the Mauriceville Junior High School to wait on the storm.

They were the last people out and the first ones back into the city. Upon their return while coming down Highway 62, they knew it was going to be bad. On Highway 62, there was water “all over the place,” Hargrave said.

When they reached the Cow Bayou Bridge, there were about 50 people standing at the top. The city had flooded.

What was once bustling city streets was now empty except for the debris and water. An officer rode a boat from one end of Texas Avenue to the other.

“It was really surreal,” Hargrave said.

As quickly as the water had come into the city, it also left too. According to Hargrave, being on a marsh has advantages since once the water came in, it also had a means to go out.

Hargrave along with the

Mayor, Kirk Roccaforte, and other city officials, rode on large equipment through the city to survey the damage.

During this time, they saw many alligators, wild hogs and snakes which had come through the marshes and invaded the city.

Emergency personnel began pulling people, left stranded by the high water, from their attics and rooftops. As the water rose, they had no place to go and went to the highest place possible to escape drowning. More than 200 people were rescued in the first few days.

“The first day was to make sure people were safe,” Hargrave said.

Police officers worked 12 hour shifts for three weeks without a day off. The small staff worked a day or night shift. But, even though their own houses were heavily damaged and exhaustion had long set into their tired bodies,

From Page 1

many worked longer than their scheduled shift. This was done freely and without complaints, Hargrave said.

“They did what they had to do and didn’t even think about it. They would have done everything the same way. They knew that’s what they are there for,” Hargrave said. “ I could have not been prouder.”

Plans before the hurricane arrived were made to ensure there were enough emergency personnel to assist during the aftermath. As a result, they arrived from everywhere.

The police department offices located on Texas Avenue had flooded too. So, a trailer was put in front of city hall on Rachel Street. It was equipped with essential radio and computer connections. This made things a bit easier.

The area which received the hardest impact from the storm was the low lying neighborhoods such as in the Dugas Addition.

“There was nothing to stop the water,” Hargrave said.

When the water receded, residents were left with mud, smelly sludge and mounds of reeds. Some houses had several feet of these items. Others suffered in additional ways such as the bricks had simply washed off the exterior of their houses.

Local refineries put together teams which brought wet, ruined furniture from the houses. They also cut out the sheetrock walls and treated the studs to prevent further deterioration.

The community began efforts to pull together to move forward. From there, a rebuilding process had begun and eventually the city was

Heritage Museum collecting artifacts for new museum Debby Schamber For The Record

The Board of Directors for the Heritage House Museum is asking the community for help in acquiring artifacts for the new Elizabeth and Howard Williams History Museum.

The building for the new museum has already been moved to the current property located 905 West Division Street. The latest building to be located on the property is a 1936 1,900 square foot house.

The house was formerly located next to the Orange Fire Department. When the fire department chose to expand following being destroyed by Hurricane Ike, the house was moved to the current location and renovated.

They are hoping to have the latest addition open by spring.

The museum will be named after Dr. Howard and Elizabeth Williams because of their hard work and dedication to preserving the history of Orange. There are plans for a dedication ceremony once the museum is ready to be opened.

The items the board is requesting needs to be historical in nature and related to Orange County history. These items can include period clothing, telephones or anything else used in Orange.

Some of the items already collected include instruments, posters and uniforms from the Bengal Guards. The bugle and drum corps was said to be second to none during their era.

The group was started and completely funded by Mr. HJL Stark and his wife, Nita. On Oct. 5, 1936, the Guards made their first public appearance at the Orange versus Jasper football game. Many notable performances followed over the years such as the Rainbow Bridge dedication and for first lady Eleanor Roosevelt who had arrived in Beaumont. The Guards were chosen to be her Honor Guard. As the Nation became involved in WWII, they were not traveling much.

By late 1944, the Starks turned over complete control of the Guards to Orange High School

and they were no longer the sponsor. In 1958, the Bengal Guards program was discontinued.

The directors also hope to collect war era artifacts, items from former restaurants, and things from area neighborhoods such as Navy Park or Riverside.

The plan is to collect enough artifacts, so the items can be rotated in and out.

Due to the destruction left behind from Hurricane Ike in 2008, the former building, The Woodmen of the World, was condemned. It was later torn down. Not only did they lose a building, but also many artifacts.

“We really need these items,” said Theresa Cronin, on the board of directors for the Heritage House museum.

“We want it to be spectacular.”

The Heritage House of Orange depicts a typical upper middle class house from the turn of the 20th century through the 1940s. The house is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark.

The house was occupied by the Sims family from the time of its construction in 1902 until June 1977, when it was sold to the City of Orange and donated to the Heritage House of Orange County Association, Inc. The Association moved the house from its former location at Eighth and Front Streets to its present location on W. Division and oversaw HERITAGE HOUSE age 8A

back to its’ former self and once again a thriving city.

‘What was amazing was the people of Bridge City all just wanting a place to stay while they repaired their houses,” Hargrave said. “They didn’t sit and wait for a hand out. The people here took care of themselves and everybody worked together.”

One by one families returned to start putting their lives back together by placing their belongings out in the

front yard. Some were only air drying items, while other things were left by the curb to be hauled away.

“What was really sad was for the kids to see their toys being hauled away,” Hargrave said.

Another sad fact was the people who had come seeking to take advantage of the vulnerable citizens. They took the items left along the crowded roadways. At first they were handcuffed and taken to the city limits and told to never

5A

come back. However, once the jail facilities were reopened, they were arrested, taken to jail and charged with theft.

Within, six months the officers were finally able to return to the station.

Hargrave and his officers began to settle into their lives and return to what was considered “normal” before the life changing events occurred.

“It’s just what we do,”he said of the efforts put forth by himself and the BCPD.

Struggles and Hope

Heritage House artifacts

From Page 5A

by Pearl Burgess God made a garden for Adam and Eve Disobeying His Law, they had to leave, Time passed by, there were so many to feed Man struggled with soil, thorns, and weeds.

Many people now, but still showing no love They would not listen to the Voice from above, But one small group didn’t accept man’s way They listened to the Voice and vowed to obey.

God sent a flood and covered the ground The small group saved, all others drowned, The Voice from above took in the view He took this group and started anew.

Man soon covered the Earth once more They struggled to live from shore to shore, But greed crept in, they began to fight Still, some hoped, and saw the Light.

Seeing their struggle, God sent His son To believe in Him, He’s the only one, Some scorned His love, it was their loss When they nailed Him and He died on the cross.

He arose from the grave, went back home But His followers knew they were not alone, For He’s coming back, and again we will meet We will all bow down at our Savior’s feet!

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

If you see someone littering, take down the time, date and place of the littering and the license plate of the vehicle. Report the activity by going to www.kocb.org and hit the litter button. Fill in the information which is then sent to TxDOT. The offending litterer will be sent a letter reminding them it is illegal to litter in the State of Texas. They will also receive a litter bag for their car and a Don’t Mess With Texas sticker.

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

A new game for catching flatfish

COLBURN-FISHING CAPT. DICKIE COLBURN FOR THE RECORD

Both power poles were planted in the mud and the bow of the 23 foot Center Console wasn’t ten feet off the shoreline.

The two anglers standing shoulder to shoulder were taking turns pitching a tail no more than five or six feet.We continued to drift the shallow flat a hundred yards out into the lake and caught several keeper trout while they patiently stuck with whatever it was they were doing.

Later that morning we were running the shoreline when we saw them doing the same thing a mile or so down the lake.We had done well enough to risk checking out another pattern on the ICW so as different as their approach was; we never gave them a second look.

Less than an hour later that same boat idled up to us and one of the two fishermen happened to be a client that I had fished several times over the past year.“Do you have any five inch white or chartreuse Gulp swimming mullets we can buy,” he asked.“I might,” I replied, “if you will tell me what the heck you were doing all morning.”

“I’ll tell you even if you don’t have any more Gulp,” he volunteered with a smile, “but you won’t believe it.We are sight fishing sow flounder and it is slow, but it is fun.”

I gave him the partial pack that I had left SEE COLBURN PAGE 4B

H WEST ORANGE-STARK over BEAUMONT CENTRAL Neither the Jags nor the Mustangs want to lose two games in a row, but it will happen to one of them. The Mustangs really didn’t lose 3734 to at Port Neches-Groves last Friday, they merely ran out of time driving for the winning touchdown. And Toby Foreman’s Jags jumped out to a 14-0 lead and then the defense surrendered 33 straight points to West Brook. Which team will get back to the win column? My choice is Cornel Thompson, who has much more experience correcting game-losing mistakes.

H BRIDGE CITY over BEAUMONT KELLY After getting man-handled by Newton and Vidor, the Cards will welcome a less potent opponent before starting District 21-3A warfare in two weeks.

NEWTON over ORANGEFIELD—The Bobcats do wonderfully as the underdog, so let’s hope they can pull off the trifecta Friday night in the piney woods of Newton. After all, stranger things have happened on Friday the 13th!!!

H VIDOR over HOUSTON CLEAR BROOK The Pirates are hosting an opponent that was picked to finish third in District 24-5A and has been to the state playoffs the past two years.

The Wolverines were 6-6 last season and are coming off a 13-0 blanking by Seven Lakes last Thursday. This will probably be the Pirates’ toughest test so far this season.

H DEWEYVILLE over SAN AUGUSTINE This will by far be the toughest opponent the Pirates have faced so far this year and they are on the road to boot. But the Pirates continue to play better each week and will really have to do so Friday night to remain undefeated.

Mustangs host Beaumont Central MUSTANG INSIDER MERI ELEN JACOBS FOR THE RECORD

Although the Mustangs left the Reservation with a 37-34 loss Friday night, one positive stood out among the others-the Mustangs don’t quit!! Down two different times by 16, WO-S kept on and never gave up, pulling to within 3 points at the end of the game.

“We played hard for the most part and we didn’t quit fighting,” Head Coach Cornel Thompson said. “We had a chance the whole time and we continued to fight.”

The Mustangs took the ball from the opening kick-off and drove the ball down the field. The Indians stopped WO-S at the one yard line when PN-G’s

Jeremiah Rose jumped in front of a Chase Rutledge pass. However, the Indians couldn’t do anything with the gift and the Mustangs found themselves in scoring position again. But that also ended before WO-S could cross the goal line when a pass from Rutledge to Chris Horn was fumbled at the one yard line.

“So many of our kids have never played there before and were not mentally ready,” Thompson said. “The Reservation is a hostile environment and they are hard to beat at their own place.”

The first bright spot for the Mustangs came toward the end of the first quarter when junior Dieonte Thompson stepped in front of an Indian pass

and took it 42 yards for the first score of the night. Rodickson Cano’s PAT was good and the Mustangs were up, 7-0.

It didn’t take but one play from scrimmage and the Indians were on the board, tying the game at 7. Before the Mustangs could score again, the Indians put two more touchdowns and a safety on the board, making it 23-7.

Running back Chris James put the Mustangs back in the game right before the half when he ran 89 yards for a touchdown and Cano’s PAT sent WO-S to the field house trailing, 23-14.

The Indians wasted no time getting back on the board in the third to go up by 16 points again, 30-14. But the fierce Mustangs answered back with a score of their own when a tipped pass by DilMUSTANGS PAGE 3B

Mustangs at home Friday lon Sterling-Cole, landed in the hands of Tre Spencer, who took it 56 yards for six points.

Cano’s PAT was good and the Mustangs were right back in the game.

“Dillon was a positive for us,” Thompson said. “He played with a lot of confidence.”

Sterling-Cole would finish the game with a pair of touchdowns, one for 1 yard and one for 7.

“If you take any one play of six mistakes away and we win the game,” Thompson said.

“They rolled the ball to us and we just rolled it back.”

Meanwhile, the Mustangs have to look forward and learn from their mistakes. The Central Jaguars are coming to town on Friday, September 13

and are coming off of a loss themselves. Central lost Friday to 5A West Brook 31-14.

“This will be our first home game and the speed picks up,” Thompson said. “And the price of poker is a little higher.

Practice will be closed this week to the public. We want the kids to be focused. We want their undivided attention.”

Central’s playmaker is their quarterback, senior Michael Jacquet. His favorite target is Garrison Mitchell and Damion Thomas runs the ball for the Jaguars.

“Mitchell, #12 is their big guns,” Thompson said. “And their defense will swarm to the football. Coach Foreman and his staff do a great job and you can bet that they will be

The game has a 7 pm start with a Tailgate party in front of the school to kick it off at 6 pm. Tickets will be on sale in the athletic office Wednesday 1-3, Thursday 9-12 and 1-3 and Friday morning 9-12.

Colburn: Fishing

From Page 1B

and told him to just call me and fill me in when he got home.He called me as soon as they got on the road and their program just blew me away.I can’t do it with clients, but I will give it a try the next time I am scouting alone.

Scot said that earlier this spring they saw several huge flounder lying on the rocks along the banks of the LNG terminals and they just could not make them bite anything.“We tried live bait, tails, Gulp…we even tried foul hooking them with a Hoginar.”

When they finally fooled the first one they knew they were on to something.“We still had some of those big curly tail GULP grubs left from last year’s flounder run and that is all we can catch them with”, stated Scott.“I don’t mind sharing this as we have already gotten lots of attention, but keep the way we are rigging them to yourself.”

Sight fishing the big flounder proved to be so intriguing that the veteran trout fisherman and his best friend decided to look for more shallow flatfish in the summer.“We found a few more in the terminals, but we found more on the revetment walls and around the roots of the Roseau cane when the tide is up.”

“The trout fishermen walking the rocks on the north revetment wall tipped us off to the flounder they could see, but couldn’t catch,” stated Scott.“We would wait until the traffic thinned out and start easing our way down the wall.It is much tougher when you have to hold on the troll motor because it is harder to keep your bait in front of them.”

“It is much easier on the Louisiana shoreline, but there are fewer big flounder and it takes forever to get them to bite.”Scott said they won’t even put the power pole down if any flounder they spot doesn’t weigh at least four pounds.“It usually takes way too much time to catch a single fish to mess with the smaller flounder.”

Lousiana Flounder

Not surprisingly, the duo keeps very few of the flounder they trick, but mark every spot where they caught one.“When they are on the rocks they seem to hold on the widest rock available only a foot or two beneath the surface.When they are in front of the cane they are almost always lying on the stubble and we have never found the first one lying on a patch of shell!”

The day we saw them they caught and released six flounder over 23-inches.“We trout fish until the sun gets high enough to spot the flounder,” added Scott, “but we now look forward to the trout bite slowing down.”

Ironically enough, I had the pleasure of speaking at a SALT club meeting last week and one of the members had a picture of a huge flounder on his cell phone that they saw lying in the rocks, but couldn’t make bite.Had they known about Scott’s technique at that time they may have come away with more than a picture.

Scott was willing to share the sight fishing aspect as well as his choice of lures, but you’ll have to do your own experimenting with the rigging.This may prove to be even more frustrating than dealing with bedding bass in the spring, but the results are worth the effort!

Septembers promise promotes marsh madness OUTDOORS WEEKLY CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE FOR THE RECORD

The sight of racks full of camo clothing, ATV’s loaded in trucks and on trailers, as well as aluminum boats full of blind material and happy retrievers means the wait is almost over. The 2013-14 hunting season kicked off September 1st and the masses are already buzzing about in anticipation for this weekend’s early teal season opener.

All the outdoor stores, both hunting and fishing, have seen big jumps in the number of customers as local sportsmen begin to get stock up on gear. With the South zone dove opener just around the corner and archery season right behind that September is a great time to be an outdoor enthusiast.

Months’ worth of expectations is in the process of becoming a reality and the excitement is beginning to build. The prospects for the upcoming south zone dove season and early teal season looks mighty good, I have made several scouting trips lately the numbers of birds in our area are really good. One thing that many hunters could certainly take advantage of would be getting in some extra practice at the range or even taking a lesson or two before heading out to the field. Nothing ruins a good hunt like not being able hit your target thanks to off season rust. Believe me the mourning dove and blue winged teal can and will make you look foolish in front of your hunting buddies if you’re not ready.

It appears that the super heat from the summer will be with us for several more weeks so are prepared for it as you scout or continue pre-season activities. The extreme heat will make water holes a hot spot for early season dove hunters as all the remnants from the early summer rains have all but dried up. The lack of rain during the months of July and August has made many hunting leases dry, especially in the southern part of the state. To the north of us it has been equally as dry and that has many hunters, especially waterfowlers concerned. A few good doses of rain would make things better for all those playa lakes that at this moment are nothing but dusty depressions.

The best news on the horizon is for the teal hunters as they will enjoy a 6 bird limit and 16 days to chase those fast flying teal. The next full moon is just days away and you can bet the biggest bunch of migrating teal will show up at that time. Right now the biggest numbers of birds are concentrated in small areas but you can bet come legal shooting light on Saturday morning they will spread out in a hurry as the shotguns start to roar.

If you plan on hunting the early teal season you need to be sure you have all your licenses and stamps in order. Also remember that all manner of biting creatures from alligators to snakes and mosquitoes will be out in full force, take all the necessary precautions and by all means be prepared. Enjoy the weekend, it’s been a long time coming.

Young golfer recognized for 75th tourney win Staff Report For The Record

During the Little Cypress-Mauriceville September Board of Trustees meeting on Monday, Sept. 9, Board members recognized a young student for his accomplishments outside of the classroom. Mauriceville Elementary fifth grader, Jack Burke, is becoming a golf legend at 10 years old. Jack shot a great round at the Southern Texas Pro Golfer Association Junior Golf Championship to tie for third place this summer. He shot a 76, with 74 taking the tournament. He then won a playoff on hole 18 for a spot on the STPGA Texas Junior Cup Team. His top five finish also qualified him to play in the pro-am at the PGA Champions Tour event in San Antonio in October.

Jack’s dad, Campus Athletic Coordinator and Head Football Coach at Mauriceville Middle School says, “Jack has loved golf from the moment he was old enough to hold a club. As an infant he tried to eat the plastic clubs and as he got older he eventually learned to swing them.” By the time he was five, Jack played full rounds with his dad at Sunset Grove Country Club and began competitive golf at the age of seven in the Southern Texas Junior PGA and First Tee programs, playing tournaments all across the state.

This past summer Jack reached an amazing milestone by winning his 75th junior tournament. He is the three-time defending STPGA Points Champion, a two-time Grand Slam champion

Fans of Dallas Cowboys, Texas Longhorns defenses shocked KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR

409-738-2070

FOR THE RECORD

Two of the Lone Star State’s most fabled football teams—the Dallas Cowboys and the Texas Longhorns—shocked their faithful followers inversely in less than a 24-hour time span last weekend.

All week long the Texas Longhorn players and coaches bragged about how the team is real comfortable playing football games away from the 100,000-seated Royal-Memorial Stadium in Austin and how they really love road trips.

And the Dallas Cowboys, who had caused only 16 turnovers during the entire 2012 season, worked their tails off during training camp trying to improve that statistic this season.

Saturday’s schedule took the Longhorns some 1,200 miles from home to mountainous Provo, Utah to meet unranked Brigham Young University, which had scored only 16 points in a loss the week before to Virginia, a team they were favored to beat.

The Longhorns must have known it was going to be a very strange night and a road trip they might not enjoy as lightning and a heavy downpour delayed the kickoff of the game by 1 hour, 52 minutes—believed to be the longest delay in Texas Longhorn history.

When the game finally kicked off, it looked as if the Longhorns’ defense was still back in Austin as BYU continually ran the football at will against the confused players and frustrated coaching staff.

By halftime the No. 15th-ranked Longhorns were on the short end of a 27-14 score, but the loyal fans were confident defensive coordinator Manny Diaz would reach into his huge bag of tricks and come up with a competent solution.

However things went from bad to worse for the Longhorns’ defense. When the final gun mercifully sounded, the defense had surrendered an unbelievable 550 yards of rushing-- breaking the previous record for a UT opponent set by Rice in 1997— and the ‘Horns lost 41-20 despite being favored to win by a touchdown.

Head Coach Mack Brown wouldn’t say much about the debacle until after he reviewed the game film on Sunday. But less than 24 hours after the game was played Brown relieved Diaz of his defensive coordinator’s duties and named his old friend Greg Robinson to assume that position with the Longhorns program.

“Our performance on defense Saturday night was unacceptable and we need to change that,” Brown told the San Antonio Express-News in a statement after replacing an assistant midseason for the first time at UT. “Robinson will be running our defense immediately.”

Robinson ran the Longhorns’ defense in 2004 before being named head coach at Syracuse. He had been working as a consultant for the ‘Horns since July reviewing films and scouting UT opponents from his home in California.

Robinson is a 36-year coaching veteran with NFL experience.

His previous tenure with Texas ended with an 11-1 record and a Rose Bowl victory. He left immediately for Austin Sunday.

Up the road at Arlington the Dallas Cowboys opened their 2013 NFL season against perennial nemesis, the dreaded New York Giants, who have missed the playoffs since 2008 but have won the last four games at Dallas since the Cowboys left Texas Stadium for the recently renamed AT&T Stadium in 2009.

Cowboys’ fans weren’t sure how the new 4-3 defensive scheme instilled by 73-year old Monte Kiffin would work out. After all, the Pokes were behind in EVERY game last season because of Rob Ryan’s inept schemes that got him fired as defensive coordinator by owner Jerry Jones at the end of last season.

Kiffin has been a proponent of causing opponents’ turnovers and stressed that facet of the defense heavily during training camp and in preseason games.

Kiffin’s constant preaching must have hit home as the Cowboys forced a whopping six turnovers, two of which were returned for Cowboy touchdowns. And, the Dallas Cowboys NEVER trailed in Sunday night’s game which was viewed by a national television audience on NBC. Cowboy quarterback Tony Romo was equally as brilliant as New York’s Eli Manning, who might have had better statistics than Romo, but came up short where it counts the most—on the scoreboard—as Dallas won their first contest over the Giants in AT&T Stadium in five tries.

Ironically, the victory wasn’t secured until the Cowboys caused their sixth and final turnover when defensive back Brandon Carr intercepted a deflected Manning pass and returned it 49 yards for a touchdown that gave the Pokes a 36-24 lead with 1:50 left.

Manning completed his fourth touchdown pass with 11 seconds left bringing the final score to 36-31, as the Cowboys covered the 3½-point spread of the Las Vegas Boys.

And as last week’s edition of USA Today Sports Weekly so succinctly put it, “With Kansas City, St. Louis and San Diego coming up on the Cowboys’ schedule, a 4-0 start would surely help Head Coach Jason Garrett keep his job.”

This Korner believes that as long as Monte Kiffin’s defense continues to force turnovers that produce defensive touchdowns and Dallas Cowboy victories, Garrett’s job should be secure.

KWICKIES…Orange native Earl Thomas started the 2013 season for his Seattle Seahawks like he’s gunning for his third straight trip to the Pro Bowl as he led his team with 10 tackles (8 solos) in Sunday’s 12-7 victory over the Carolina Panthers. Earl also made the play of the game when he stripped the Panthers’ ball carrier and a teammate recovered the fumble at the fiveyard line as Carolina was going for the go-ahead touchdown. We will have a chance to watch Earl in action this weekend when the 3-point-favored Seahawks host the NFC champion San Francisco 49ers in NBC’s Sunday Night Game of the Week which kicks off at 7:30 p.m.

I apologize for leaving you readers hanging last week when someone at the office whose scissors were sharper than his/her judgment cut my column short. We picked Green Bay to win the NFC North Division and Atlanta to win the NFC South. We also predicted that the Indianapolis Colts and Miami Dolphins should make the playoffs as the AFC wild cards and the San Francisco 49ers and the New Orleans Saints will be the NFC wild cards. We also hoped the AFC championship game will be between our Houston Texans and the Denver Broncos while the Seattle Seahawks and the Atlanta Falcons battle it out for the right to play in the Super Bowl from the NFC. The Orangefield Bobcats are proving to be giant-killers after knocking off two straight opponents that were favored to beat them. The feisty ‘Cats rallied to beat a good East Chambers team at Zero Week and then fended off a Jasper team that many preseason prognosticators picked to win its district. Things don’t get any easier for the Bobcats this week when they must travel to take on the Newton Eagles, the state of Texas’ No. 1 team in Class 2A. Perhaps the game being played on Friday the 13th will have a bearing on the outcome.

Sunset Grove golfer Ernie Dyer enjoyed a very successful (and prosperous) venture in last weekend’s 54th annual Labor Day Golf Tournament sponsored by the Sunset Grove Men’s Golf Association. Ernie made a hole-in-one Sunday on the Par 3, 163yard No. 14 hole using a five-iron, which helped him win his flight. He was presented a $200 check for getting an ace and being an MGA member, received another check for $202.50 for buying himself in the player’s pool plus he won a nifty gift certificate for winning his flight. But there is a downside to this story—if Ernie had made the hole-in-one 24 hours later Monday on No. 14, he would have driven home in a brand new pickup truck, which was offered on that hole ONLY during Monday’s final round.

Some results of high school football that may be of interest to Orange-area fans from last weekend include Navasota 24, Coldspring 0; Texas City 56, La Marque 35; Wimberley 26, Giddings 14; Atlanta 48, Daingerfield 35; Carthage 45, Lindale 17; Waco La Vega 29, Hutto 28; Corrigan-Camden 28, Diboll 14; Crockett 22, Rusk 14.

JUST BETWEEN US…More than 100 men and women golfers participated in the three-day 54th Annual Labor Day Golf Tournament sponsored by the Sunset Grove Men’s Golf Association that also was cut out of last week’s Korner. The results: CHAMPIONSHIP FLIGHT-1. Richard Scully 2 Hunter Cooper 3. Patrick Prince.
