Winfree legacy celebrated in ‘cattle drive’ Mark Dunn

For The Record

The Winfree family legacy will be celebrated as part of the ‘Cow Bayou Cattle Drive’ to be held Satuday, Sept. 17.

Similar to a “ducky derby,” 500 floating toy cows will be tossed from the SH-105 bridge crossing Cow Bayou in Orangefield and be herded by

boat and cowboys on jet skis over a mile away to Cow Bayou Marina in Bridge City.

Port of Orange board WINFREE member, Barbara Winfree, wife of the late Lester “Buckshot” Winfree, will start the ‘cattle drive’ at

County works to cut spending Nicole Gibbs

For The Record

The Orange County Commissioners have been working diligently on next year’s budget by scheduling a host of workshops to find ways to cut spending. They are trying to cut in all ways they can without cutting benefits earned, layoffs, etc. On Monday, they discussed possible ways to cut even more.

The Commissioners addressed the issue of County vehicles being driven home.

“Only vehicles that we can justify having a possibility of being called out after hours or

on the weekend in emergencies [should be driven home],” Thibodeaux said.

Included in those cars THIBODEAUX would be one for the Road and Bridge Department to be used by a foreman from each precinct for the purpose of opening and closing the swing bridge when needed. Thibodeaux felt the best option would be for the foremen to be on a rotating weekly schedule. If adopted, each will be on duty for a week for after hours calls for the bridge to be opened beginning Oct. 1.

There is a concern of overtime pay and the time it would take for the foremen that has to drive the farthest. The County is currently logging each time the bridge is open to see if would be worthwhile to hire part time bridge tender to open and close the bridge.

The Commissioner also addressed an issue with the number of employees in Orange County.

“We don’t want to fire anybody,” Thibodeaux said. “We have to start looking at our workforce. If we don’t, it’s going to catch up with us where we will not be able to pay the employees who have been here a substantial length of time the salary they deserve and support the benefits they’ve earned.”

Thibodeaux also said that the overall workload for the County has not increased.

The Judge and Commissioners stated they won’t be the ones to say if anyone needs to be let go.

“The department [heads] are going to have to take a good look at their department,” Thibodeaux said. “If somebody retires, do you really need that [position filled again].”

Last week, the Commissioners instated a hiring freeze.

Any department requesting a new hire would have to present their need and justification for that new hire to the Court.

“It’s not our job to micromanage, it’s our job to manage the budget,” Pct. 4 Commissioner Jody Crump said.

Vidor property Attorney Steve Bird approached the Commissioner in May about a piece of property in Vidor, 340 West David Loop, the County and other taxing jurisdictions (city of Vidor and the Vidor School District, etc.) own. The property, which is worth $40,000, had been foreclosed upon due to delinquent COUNTY BUSINESS PAGE 3A

The grand prize winner will receive a 40-inch television donated by the Sears Hometown Store in Orange. Prizes will be awarded for the first

“We are delighted to recognize the Winfree family. They have played such a large role in our local history,” said Paige Williams, chairwoman of the event. “It’s going to fun. There are still cows available for anyone who wants to enter.”

The Cow Bayou Cattle Drive

He was one of the first Anglos to settle in what became Orange County. Winfree’s Crossing was along the Opelousas Trail. Cowboys driving cattle would stay there

overnight, and Abraham kept a 20-acre pen for the cattle.

Family history says Republic of Texas soldiers, traveling with captured Mexican Gen. Santa Ana to New Orleans after the Battle of San Jacinto in 1836, stopped at Abraham’s and spent the night. Abraham COW BAYOU CATTLE DRIVE SEE PAGE 5A

Clint Hartsfield: Cardinal turned Bulldog Mike Louviere For The Record

It’s unusual when a former player comes home to coach a football game–on the visitor side of the field.

This happened Friday night when Clint Hartsfield, the new athletic director/ head football coach came to Bridge City to put his Kelly Bulldogs against his old Bridge City Cardinals.

Hartsfield is a 1988 graduate of Bridge City High School with deep roots. His mother Alice Hartsfield is a 1968 graduate and was a student when the Cardinals became state champions in the 1967 seaHARTSFIELD son. His grandfather is Don Cole, the longtime owner of Cole Plumbing and a former precinct 3 commissioner.

“I have real mixed emotions about the game. It is a thrill to be coming home for the game. I want my team to win very badly, but I do not like the thought of whipping the Cardinals,” said Hartsfield. “I have some old friends that will give me a hard time however the game goes.”

After serving as an assistant coach at Vidor High School and Edison Middle School in Port Arthur, Hartsfield has spent the last 12 years as a coach at St. Anne Middle School in Beaumont.

He has a total of 17 years as a coach.

“I was really surprised when they called me back for a second interview. I really did not think I had much of a chance since my prior coaching had been Jr. High.” said Hartsfield.

The selectors at Kelly evidently disagreed with his outlook as he was selected over coaches that included Larry Haynes of Hardin. Haynes is currently the winningest active coach in Southeast Texas.

His 12 years at St. Anne puts Hartsfield in a unique position.

A number of the current players on the Kelly squad have been his former players at St. Anne.

“I think I have a good thing with my players in a way,” said Hartsfield. “They know me and I know them as well as most of

For The Record

For one Bridge City woman, spam e-mail is almost a daily occurrence, but they usually go straight to her spam (or junk) folder. However, Misty Flowers received an e-mail in her inbox that almost seemed credible but could have posed a significant threat.

“I will like to order for 8 big bouquets flowers for my Son”s wedding.”

Besides the obvious grammatical and punctuation errors, its wording is off for the English most of us speak and write.

For most of us, our e-mail spam folder (or junk folder) is full of a variety of ads we aren’t interested in viewing and proposals from strangers better left untouched, but sometimes one slips through the cracks.

County business taxes and received zero bids when put up for sale.

While a house currently sits on the property, Bird and the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality found that a convenience store which sold gasoline was once on the property. They have also found that the gasoline storage tanks with fuel are still in the ground. The County and the other entities that own this piece of property are not required by TCEQ to removed the tanks and remediate the ground, but all agreed that, in order to sell the property, they would need to have a test done on the soil to see if the tanks have leaked and contaminated the land.

Bird informed the Commis-

sioners that the core samples taken from the ground around the tanks (by Apollo Environmental out of Beaumont) came back good, but that doesn’t tell them what the soil under the tanks look like.

Apollo gave an estimate of $15,000 to remove the tanks, test the soil directly underneath the tanks and fill in the hole. The County’s portion will be $2,625.

“If it’s worth $40,000 and [it will cost $15,000 to fix], it will 12 years to get our money back,” Pct. 3 Commissioner John Dubose said. “We don’t know what the soil test under the tanks will be. It might be worse, could be better. We still don’t have a buyer.”

Thibodeaux said it, at $216 a year; it would take 12 years to get the County’s money back.

Bird told the Commissioners that if the tanks are removed, the property will more than likely sell and the County would get their money back. This still wasn’t enough for the Commissioner to make a decision to pay for the removal.

The Commissioners agreed to wait and see what the other taxing entities wanted to do.

Bird will meet with each entity and then report back to the Commissioners with their decision.

The Court then authorized the payment of $861 to Apollo Environmental in Beaumont for the County’s share of the preliminary study of the underground storage tanks.

Burn Ban The County has agreed to leave the burn ban off for the time being. Jeff Kelley, Emergency Management director said the humidity has been helping this area out when it comes to the fire danger.

However, it is forecasted for this to change over the next few days. There has been a small increase in reported fires, but they have all been taken care of. If there is a need, Thibodeaux can instate an emergency burn ban until the Commissioner reconvene next week.

Though Missy gets enjoyment at the frustration she causes these scammers she never sends any personal information to them. to my specific e-mail.”

Missy, who did work as a florist years ago after marrying her husband Dirk Flowers, whose family owned a local flower and plant business, decided to answer this e-mail, fully knowing it was an attempt to steal from her. “I do not answer all of them but I just thought it might be fun to see what this person’s reaction would be.”

In her message response, Missy simply stated the cost for the requested 8 bouquets would be $2000. The quick reply to her response by ‘Debbie Adams’ was a no haggling acceptance of the $2000 price tag. There were instructions for accepting her credit card and sending fund through Western Union and private shipper to be coming and pick them up on ‘August of 31st’.

None of this came as a shock to Missy who was aware this was a fraudulent activity from the get go.

“My kids ask me, ‘Mom why do you bother to mess with these people?’ and I tell them, maybe it keeps them to tied us for awhile and they leave the next person alone. “ The statistics on spam e-mail are alarming and becoming an ever evolving problem. According to www.spamlaws.com, 45 percent of all e-mail is said to be spam, or 14.5 billion emails globally a day. Yes billion with a ‘B.’ Some newer research puts it closer to 73 percent with the United States topping the list of countries sending unwanted mail and Korea coming in a close to second place.

The most prevalent type of spam is advertising-related e-mail; this type of spam accounts for approximately 36 percent of all spam messages.

The second most common category of spam is adult-related in subject and makes up roughly 31.7 percent of all spam. Unwanted e-mails related to financial matters are the third most popular form of spam, at 26.5 percent.

For those like Missy who has her spam guard on and quickly notices spam when it slips past the guard this is mostly just a frustrating part of growing technology. One just deletes them and gets to their real messages.

For others, including the elderly or younger people, those new to the e-mail world or less active on the internet however it can be a major and costly issue.

For businesses it is also costly. A research firm based in Palo Alto, California, found spam costs businesses $20.5 billion annually in de-

creased productivity as well as in technical expenses.

Local bank and law enforcement officials warn particularly against phishing e-mails.

Phishing is a way of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.

They recommend never giving any type of information to anyone online that you do not know and trust.

“Credit card information, social security numbers and bank account information is what these people are usually trying to obtain,” Orange county sheriff spokeswoman confirms, “This is the way identity theft occurs.”

Bank officials agree and state it is very difficult to reclaim funds that are stolen this way since the customer willingly gave their information to someone.

When these companies are in foreign nations it is virtually impossible. The old saying, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is,” has never been more true.

When an e-mail get through your spam guard or e-mail protection system, report it. Servers and officials are on constant watch to grow in knowledge of the new ways thieves are using to gain access to your money or your identity.

If you have young children, keep a watchful eye on their internet activities for not only the physical preditors but phishing scams that are offered to them can contain attempts to get their parents information as well.

Though Missy gets enjoyment at the frustration she causes these scammers she also uses a great deal of wisdom and never sends any personal information to them. This past one wanted to have her cell phone number so they could text each other. She also always insists on ‘cold hard cash in hand,’ something no scam artist will ever send.

“The main thing is one will wonder, ‘Why do they need my help getting access to their money? Or why are they asking me?’” Missy is correct.

There is no good reason why someone needs your help gaining access to their dead father’s millions, no matter what they are writing you.

Report it and delete it.

Even better – if is goes to your spam mail – let it stay there and go in the trash, just like the junk snail-mail.

Talk about it with your children, the elderly who may just be getting into the new technology, or those who have never been connected ot our growing World Wide Web. Use your instincts. Keep your money. You and our economy can use it.

From the Creaux’s Nest ANNUAL TRIP TO BUNA For several months, in fact all summer, I’ve been trying to get away for my annual trip to Buna. For 40 years I’ve taken a day off and went to see what, if any, changes have taken place. I usually make the round, Gist, Evadale, Bugs Scuffle, down to Cow Creek. It had been a tough summer. While folks took nice vacations I was tied down here. So early Saturday morning, before the sun came up, I headed down Hwy. 62. With the coming of daylight I could see that some trees were stressed. It was a beautiful large, orange sunrise. The difference I find, over the last 40 years, is that country people don’t rise as early as they once did. They must have been sleeping in this Saturday morning. Not much to do in Buna before 7 a.m. I tried to find a restaurant for a good country breakfast. I later learned I didn’t go down far enough on Hwy. 96. *** Speaking of Hwy. 96, the David Self folks have moved their big Tractor City to the old Ford site once owned by Dr. Mark Messer. At 8 a.m., I met with George Holder, a big country boy out of Kirbyville, who is the “Tractor Master” for David Self. George knows tractors. It’s not the same old business it once was. George can match you up with just the right size tractor and equipment you need and wrap it up in one package. No waste of money on features you don’t need. George explains that he can customize a rig just for you, large, small or in between, plus, with a little down they arrange the financing. A person could waste money on stuff they don’t need so visit with George before you purchase. If he doesn’t have just what you need he will advise you.

By the way, he makes good coffee. *** I traveled the circle on my trip, stopped by “Catfish” Miller’s. His wife Judy said he and his son-in-law Todd had gone to bring feed to the deer lease. According to Johnny Montagne, he and Blaze went to the lease and there is not a blade of grass anywhere. The deer are eating mesquite leaves and beans. Speaking of Johnny, he was gathering up a load of stuff for the burned out folks near Bastrop. Working with Winfree Baptist, they left with loads Tuesday. *** Anyway, back to my trip, I made the big circle, the creeks were dry, 32 inches of rainfall below normal. I’ve made better trips but at least I got to go on vacation. I’m going back to see George. I liked that little 28-hp rig. I’ve got to move on.

Not much to report this week but come along, it won’t do you no harm.

TIME DOESN’T DIM MOMORIES OF WHAT WAS LOST There is something wrong with you if you were not impressed and touched by the ceremonies marking the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001. A resilient nation reflected on its losses. Grieving families joined leaders past and present to pay homage to those lives that ended so violently in New York, The Pentagon and Pennsylvania. Bells rang across the land, millions gathered in churches to remember, question, pray and hope. I was touched by the appearance at Shanksville of President George W. Bush, former President Bill Clinton and Vice-president Joe Biden. President Obama quietly made all three sights but it was Vice President Biden who carried the day. “Never before in our history has America asked so much, over such a sustained period, of an all volunteer force,” Biden said. What came to my mind as I watched the day’s events was how all this tragedy was implemented by one mind, using only 19 suicide volunteers. Osama bin Laden,an engineer, had plotted the destruction that changed our lives forever. We will not soon recover from not only the loss of life but from the financial burden that has been placed on our country. The killing of Bin Laden, ordered by the President of the United States, served as a closure. The rat is dead. It’s amazing that so little is mentioned about the killing of the worse enemy we have ever had. I’m from the World War II generation, I can’t help but think how big a story it would have been if we had looked for Hitler for 10 years and finally found and killed him. It just seems to me that as big and successful the hunting down and killing of Bin Laden was, something that will go down as a great triumph for our nation, where we don’t rest until we avenge those who do us wrong, for some reason this great accomplishment has been swept under the rug. Why is that?

TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME 13 Years Ago-1998 Tropical storm Frances will long be remembered in Orange County as the storm that never hit but wouldn’t

go away. According to drainage district manager Ron Sigler, all major drainage arteries are filled and backing up. Orange County got 16-inches of rain despite Frances making landfall 300 miles away at Port O’Connor. Twenty inches of rain to the north will also dump on us.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Theophile Gaspard showed up at the pool hall sporting two black eye.

“Mais, what happened to you?” Tee-Neg asked.

“Well, you know how Camilla has been trying to get me to go to mass wit’ her. I went, me. Boy, TeeNeg, dat is a dangerous place, yeah.

“I was sitting in de pew and dere was dis big fat lady sittin’ in front of us and when she got up from kneelin’ down, her dress, it was caught in her butt.

You know, like de cow eatin’ de cabbage. Well, me, I help her. I pull it out.”

“Man, dat lady turn aroun’ and ka-pow, she hit me hard right in my eye.”

“So how you get de other black eye?” asked TeeNeg. And Theophile say, “Well, me, I figure she don’t want it out, so I push it back in like it was.”

C’EST TOUT As I come to the end of this column, it’s Sept. 13.

Only three years ago on this date Hurricane Ike came blowing in and brought the worse water surge we have ever witnessed. Those of us who had not evacuated were stranded in Bridge City, cut off from the mainland for days. It’s amazing today to see a town that wouldn’t die. Improvements, new schools, new businesses, new homes and new streets are making a good community better. Many of the old residents have moved away but now younger families are moving in. It’s been three years without even a bad rainstorm. Chances are that some day we will be hit by another hurricane but probably never again with a surge like Ike’s. *****President Obama has put a plan together, “The American Jobs Act” that would start to give relief to the unemployed who are hurting. The obstructionists don’t want the economy fixed before the next election. Here’s the problem, the old Republican Party, the disciples of Dick Cheney, drove the truck in the ditch. Their failed policies caused all the unemployment and financial burdens we now face. They are now demanding President Obama’s administration pull the truck out of the ditch without their help. Meanwhile the Tea Party’s new congress says, “Look, we didn’t drive the truck in the ditch, you older GOP guys did. We won’t help get the truck out of the ditch but we want it out and out now. So there you go. I’ll bet that before next year the “Tea Party” will be the most unpopular group in the country if they don’t help to create jobs and get the truck out of the ditch. *****On the GOP debates, the longer it goes the more of Rick Perry’s onion will be stripped away.

Who won the debate? Probably the guy who wasn’t there. He still seems the most presidential. *****Oh well, my time is up. Please read us cover to cover and shop our advertisers. Take care and God bless.

City of Refuge remembers 9-11 Hartsfield Mike Louviere For The Record

Veterans have feelings that only other veterans can understand. It does not matter if a veteran has seen combat or not, they have all given part of themselves in service. It was no wonder that the 9/11 memorial service at the City of Refuge was emotional and heartfelt.

There may have been bigger memorial services on 9/11 and there may have been services that placed more emphasis on the events of that day. There may have been services that were fancier and more dignified. There could not have been any services conducted with more feeling or understanding by a group than the service conducted at the City of Refuge.

A shelter for homeless veterans, The City of Refuge is run by Bro. Burt Stigen and his wife Denise. The residents at the shelter have all given service to our country and have paid a price of some sort. If any group can understand what it took for the first responders to go into the Twin Towers on 9/11, it would be these former warriors.

On the morning of Sept. 11, 2011 the 32nd resident came to the shelter, needing a place to live. He was given a “welcome home” and assigned to a cabin. His arrival means there are only two beds left at the shelter.

One cabin is occupied by a family with one young boy. Another cabin is occupied by a family with four young children. No one is turned away if they meet the few rules and need a place to live until they can get a job and work their way back to “the world.”

Sunday morning’s service was attended by a contingent from American Legion Post 49 of Orange. The Legionnaires were attending to honor those whose lives were lost on 9/11, to support the residents at the COR and for another very special reason.

2nd Vice Cmdr. Johnny Gill, Adj. Gary Alford, Service Officer Connie Velasquez, Ladies Aux. President Dianne Bankston, and Ladies Aux. VP Donna Alford were there with Legionnaire Clyde Gabriel and his wife Georgia to meet the challenge made at the first meeting of the steering committee of the COR’s building program.

There was an initial donation of $1,000 made several weeks ago by Larry McCabe, who challenged anyone or any group to match that initial donation. McCabe teaches the Sunday School class at the COR. The Gabriels decided to exceed the challenge.

They presented on behalf of the Post a personal donation of $1,025. When Gabriel found that there was a family with four children staying at the shelter, he dug a little deeper and made another donation to help that family.

It was an emotional start to the service. Music provided by Maridee and Douglas Stanley; and Rex Harris, put things on a

higher plain, as did comments by Stigen about the reason for the service.

Stigen arranged for Sister Belinda Johnson to give the keynote address. Johnson related stories of first responders and others who did things above and beyond the call of duty in attempts to evacuate the Twin Towers, rescue the injured, and continue the search with no regard to their lives, in some cases giving their lives for others.

On a day when ordinary men became heroes, heroism was common. One man was blind. He and his guide dog led occupants of the tower away from danger in such a way that some did not realize the man was blind. They just trusted the man and the dog.

Another man was the security director for a large investment company that had 2700 people on 22 floors of their tower had conducted fire drills and excluded no one, not even the CEO of the company. Twice a year they would conduct a drill so that the employees would know the exit routes and evacuate as fast and smoothly as possible. When the day was over only three of the 2700 employees had lost their lives. The security director was last seen going back into the building.

Harris’ song “My Anchor Holds,” brought tears to many eyes as it related that if you have a strong anchor, even if your ship is battered, you will survive. For those with needs in their lives, it was a powerful message.

City of Refuge and all those connected with the shelter are there to provide an anchor for the residents and to help them as they go on their journey through life.

Cow Bayou Cattle Drive was also friends with Claiborne West (the park’s namesake) who lived in the Cow Bayou settlement and signed the Texas Declaration of Independence.

The Winfree name is legendary in Orange County.

Most notable in recent history was Lester “Buckshot” Winfree, a cattleman, rice farmer and owner of Winfree Cattle and Rice trucking company.

He served as a Port of Orange board member from the 1980’s

until his death in 2010. Barbara Winfree was unanimously approved to fill her husband’s seat on the board.

Barbara grew up in Bloomington, Texas, and graduated from Lamar University in 1981. She taught kindergarten at Orangefield Elementary School for 22 years and retired about 10 years ago. Barbara met Buckshot at a rodeo in Robstown, Texas. They were married 46 years. Their children are Kirk Dillard, Will

the parents. They (the parents) may be a little more forgiving if we get into a win a few, lose a few position.”

“Because of his long term commitment to Catholic Education; his familiarity with most Kelly High School student athletes and their parents; his coaching experience and success with the St. Anne football program and other sports programs; all well as his genuine concern for all student athletes across the entire athletic program I believe that Mr. Hartsfield is the very best fit for the athletic program here at Kelly High School as well as our entire school and community,” said Roger Bemis, Kelly principal when announcing Hartsfield’s selection.

Hartsfield was raised Roman Catholic and remains true to his beliefs. He is impressed, but not surprised by the devotion of his team members to their church.

“Every Friday most of our varsity attends Mass. I want to be more than a coach. I believe that I have a responsibility to be a spiritual leader as well,” said Hartsfield.

Hartsfield believes that effort should be put into making a football program a winning program, but the psychological and spiritual side needs to be addressed as well.

“We are the smallest school in our conference with 215 students. St. Thomas has over 700 and the rest are in between. We have to work hard to make Kelly a winner, but I do not want to win at the expense of all else. I want to be sure that the values we install in our players address more of life than just winning a ball game,” said Hartsfield. “The Bridge City game should be a great game. I went to school with some of the Cardinals’ dads and know more. They were tough players and their sons are probably just as tough. It will be good to see some old friends and classmates again no matter how the game goes,” said Hartsfield in Friday’s interview.

The Cardinals prevailed in Friday night’s game 20-7.

Well hope everyone had a wonderful Labor day weekend. I guess I had so much fun at the Lake I didn’t want to come back. I forget sometimes the newspaper has to be here rain or shine, sort of like the mail, it goes on with or without you. Haha. The bad thing about the Lake is the reception is horrible. You cannot use a cell phone where I stay, and that means your air card for the computer does not work either. Anyway I have a great fish casserole for you. I hope you like Spinach. If you do not, I suppose you could add your favorite vegetable or just leave it out.

If you like to eat fish though, I am offering a Cooking Class this Saturday night from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Come join us for, “Fish Fantasia” and you will learn how to make Lemon/ Butter fish fillets along with Stuffed Snapper, Salmon croquettes, and twice baked potatoes. We will finish with

Trunk-or-treat is a community tradition Staff Report

For The Record

What parent doesn’t worry about the safety of Halloween?

Children going door-to-door asking for candy and other trinkets carries with it a certain measure of danger. Hosting candy swaps and other activities tailgate-style removes much of the danger. It’s called trunk-or-treating and is often a community- or churchsponsored event.

When people do a trunk-ortreating scenario, families and other participants park in a large parking lot with deckedout car costumes. Or they open their trunks to reveal a

decorated Halloween wonderland inside. Participants hang out by their decorated vehicles and then visit others within the safety of the parking lot, sharing treats and stories. The event resembles tailgating at a sporting event -- without the sporting event.

Depending on the budget and number of families involved, the trunk-or-treat can turn into a big event that lasts into the night. Participants can hire a DJ or other entertainment. There are other ways to make the event fun for all.

Establish a theme and all people attending have to dress up in accordance to that theme.

Put someone in charge of music, whether a band or DJ is hired or an Mp3 playlist is kept on rotation.

Enlist an impartial judge to vote on the best individual costume and best decorated car.

Plan events for the kids so they are kept occupied. Scavenger hunts, craft contests (decorating a pumpkin) and other such ideas can be considered.

Be sure to solicit candy donations so there is enough to go around.

Food and other refreshments may be needed. Participants can bring table-top grills or sandwiches and make it a true tailgating event.

Use the trunk-or-treat time to really mingle and get to know new participants. This is a much more social way to celebrate Halloween than simply going door-to-door.

The Cardinals took a 7-0 lead over Kelly after a scoreless first quarter with a five yard run by Hunter Clark and the point after from Daniel Faulk with 10:39 left in the second quarter. It was a nice 71 yard drive made possible by a big hit from Tanner Cervenka, who jarred the ball loose, allowing Jason Tran to recover the fumble.

The Card’s made it 14-0 after another turnover from the Bulldogs, this time Dillion Trahan

came up with the lose football. On a fourth and twelve, Matt Menard hit Cameron Dishon for a 39 yard strike for six points with 9:17 left in the half, Faulk adding his point after, making the score 14-0 when the teams headed in for the break.

The Cardinals did a nice job capitalizing on the Bulldog’s turnovers in the first half.

The Redbirds scored their final points with 4:57 left in the third quarter, yet after another turnover from Kelly. Dishon had a 39 yard pick six. Faulk’s extra point try hit the up-right, bringing the score to 20-0. The Bulldogs scored their only points of the game with a nice 64 yard run that, with the PAT, brought the score to 20-7 with 4:34 left in the third quarter.

The rest of the third and fourth quarter played out with no one crossing the goal line. Kelly tried to get back into the game, but the

Cardinal defense stiffened up.

Hunter Wools had a big sac for a huge loss in the third quarter and Tyler Roberts picked off another Bulldog pass in the fourth quarter.

oach Randy Crouch was a little worried going into the Friday night’s game that his LCM Bears may have their hands full when they met the Conroe Caney Creek Panthers.

“They are a much larger school than we are, with 17001800 students and they are a team that will force us to take assignments. We will have to play a very disciplined game,” said Crouch.

Looking at the team rosters the size and age of the players was about even. LCM was carrying 20 Seniors, Caney Creek 22. There were also a couple of heavy weights on each team.

LCM had Stephen Guil-

beaux tipping the scales at 280 pounds and Justin Judge weighing 270. The Panthers had Senior Cody Britton with 295 pounds under his belt and Senior Chilton McMullen going and even 300.

On paper, it looked like a fairly even match. Once the kickoff was made and the two teams started play, things changed fast.

It only took the Bears six plays in the first quarter to cross the goal line. The kick was good and the Bears were 7-0.

The Panthers took the offensive and in two plays fumbled and the Bears regained the ball on the 21 yard line. On the Bears first play Billy Jones caught a short pass and went over the goal line.

Texans shine, Cowboys implode In NFL’s opening games KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

About the only similarity the season openers for the Houston Texans and Dallas Cowboys had in common Sunday was that both teams played extremely well in the early going.

The biggest difference between the two games was that the Texans jumped off to a 34-0 lead at halftime and continued to play like the champions they hope to be and won 34-7 while the Cowboys fell apart when it came to crunch time.

In fact, Sunday night was the first time in the Dallas Cowboys’ franchise history that the team failed to post a victory after leading by 14 or more points in the fourth period.

But a blocked punt, a fumble

by Tony Romo on the New York Jets’ three yard-line and Romo’s wayward pass that was picked off spelled the difference in the Jets’ 27-24 come-

back victory.

Romo looked like his comeback after missing the final 10 games of last season with a broken collarbone would be a brilliant one. He got off to a great start by going 4-for-5 for 61 yards, including a slant to Dez Bryant that picked up 42 yards.

Romo then found Bryant in the left corner of the end zone and the second-year receiver out-jumped All-Pro cornerback Antonio Cromartie for the touchdown grab. Actually both players had their hands firmly on the ball, but the tied reception goes to the offensive player, according to NFL rules.

Jets head coach Rex Ryan really wanted to win this game badly for the New York area that was commemorating the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks as an emotional backdrop. He also wanted to out-fox his brother Rob, who is the new defensive coordinator for the Cowboys.

However, the Cowboys ap-

peared in command of the situation and led 24-10 with 14:05 left in the fourth quarter when Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez went to a no-huddle offense and found Plaxico Burress, who made a leaping grab of the pass for a touchdown and put the Jets back in the game.

The Cowboys went on the move and Romo connected with Jason Whitten, who got bounced out of bounds at the Jets 3. On third down Romo found nobody open and decided to run and fumbled with the Jets recovering.

Sanchez reciprocated when he was hit a coughed up the ball and the Cowboys recovered with six minutes left and Dallas leading 24-17. Romo failed to complete a pass and a run lost two yards. The Cowboys are called for a delay of game and then an illegal procedure making it third-and 22.

Romo’s pass is almost picked off forcing a punt, which was blocked by Joe McKnight and run back for a touchdown by Isaiah Trufant, who was promoted from the practice squad Saturday. The PAT tied the score at 24-24 with five minutes left.

Again Romo can’t move the team and the Cowboys must punt. This one gets off that rolls into the end zone with 2:16 left. Sanchez kept the drive alive by hitting La Danian Tomlinson for a first down, but the Jets punt it back to Dallas with 55 seconds remaining.

On the first play Romo slung a pass right to Jets All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis, who returned it to the Cowboys 32. The Cowboys’ defense did a good job, forcing a fourth down.

Nick Folk, who was cut as the Cowboys’ kicker last season, calmly booted a 50-yard field goal, putting the Jets in

front 27-24 with 27 seconds left. An offensive interference call on Witten nullified a completion and Romo misfired on his final try to seal the Cowboys’ fate.

According to ology.com “in the almost 10 years Romo has been in the NFL, he’s developed into the Karl Malone of the league—he possesses loads of talent but can never seem to put it together to win in the clutch.”

That’s certainly not the case of Houston quarterback Matt Schaub who had a 101.6 rating in the first half when he led the Texans to a 34-0 halftime lead.

Wade Phillips’ new 3-4 defense was very effective, aided by the absence of super quarterback Peyton Manning, who is recovering from his third neck surgery since last season.

Phillips’ hunch to switch Mario Williams from defensive end to outside linebacker reaped huge dividends. On the Colts’ fourth offensive play, Williams roared past tight end Dallas Clark and nailed quarterback Kerry Collins for his 49th career sack.

An average-sized tight end or H-back is over-matched by the 6-9, 290-pound Williams, who is quick as a cat. Future teams will have a problem figuring out who will be able to block Williams.

Second-year running back Ben Tate, who missed the entire 2010 season with a broken leg, subbed very adequately for Arian Foster, who sat out Sunday’s game with a sore hamstring. Tate rushed for 116 yards on 24 carries and a touchdown.

“That’s probably the best half of football we’ve played,” head coach Gary Kubiak told The Houston Chronicle. “It was explosive in every area— offense, defense and special

COLBURN-FISHING CAPT. DICKIE COLBURN

For The Record

Judging solely by the scarcity of gunshots echoing across the marsh and the relatively light number of duck boat trailers at area ramps Saturday morning, teal season obviously got off to a slow start. I was also surprised, however, by the amount of boat traffic on both the river and in the lake, but the same weather that was unfavorable for hunting ducks was perfect for a little fishing before the football games kicked off.

Both the wind and the tide were non-existent at daylight.

You could basically fish anywhere you wanted to, but the catching part was far more difficult. We started our day in the ICW and could only catch undersized trout and a solid flounder or two at several different stops.

We ran to the lake around midmorning and while we found much of the lake still clearer than anticipated, we could catch only small trout and lady fish riding herd on the shad.

Intending to fish no later than noon, we ran back to the ICW for one more pass. The tide had started moving a little by that time and it was “game on” for the next hour and a half.

We caught some very nice flounder, the largest just over four pounds, and five or six trout up to six pounds bouncing a Hoginar off the bottom in 16 to 20 feet of water. We did catch several smaller trout as well, but we missed more fish than we boated and the majority of the ones we got to see were 17 to 20-inch fish.

Before we could finish a hundred-yard drift, smaller

teams.” Jacoby Jones returned a punt 79 yards for the Texans’ final touchdown.

The Texans also started off the 2010 season with a big win over Indianapolis and won four of their first six games before collapsing and finishing with a dismal 6-10. So they will have to live by the old coaches’ cliché of “playing them one at a time,” KWICKIES…Orange County’s two NFL players were both on teams that lost Sunday, but they performed well. Bridge City’s Matt Bryant was 2-2 in field goals, connecting on a 48-yarder and one from 25 yards as his Atlanta Falcons fell to the Chicago Bears 3012. West Orange-Stark’s Earl Thomas was second on his team with seven tackles and two assists, but his Seattle Seahawks lost to the San Francisco 49ers 33-17.

It appears the University of Houston held true to their word when they recruited West Orange-Stark wide receiver Mark Roberts last year and told him he would see action as a true freshman. Roberts has blocked a kick in each of the Cougar’s two wins so far this season—against UCLA last week in Houston’s 38-34 victory and Saturday when they routed North Texas 4823. Roberts also caught two passes Saturday for 21 yards.

Today could very well be the day the Houston Astros post their 100th loss with the major league’s winningest team, the Philadelphia Phillies at Minute Maid Park for a three-game series that began Monday when the Astros were already sitting at 97 losses to tie the franchise record for setbacks.

The Phillies had planned to start former Astro Roy Oswalt on Monday, Cole Hamels (147) Tuesday and Roy Halladay (17-5) on Wednesday.

It’s strange how things have

changed with time in the tennis world. In her match Sunday in the U.S. Open Serena Williams shouted “Come on” when hoping for a shot to stay in bounds and the umpire Eva Asderaki ruled Williams hindered opponent Sam Stosur’s ability to complete the point and awarded it to Stosur, who on the match easily 6-2, 6-3.

I remember the days of John McEnroe who complained about the officiating in nearly every match.

The Oklahoma Sooners were named the No. 1 team this week by the Associated Press Top 25 Poll for the 100th time since the football poll began in 1936. The Sooners remained in the top spot from last week’s poll while Alabama switched places with LSU and was second while the Tigers were No. 3. Boise State remained fourth, Florida State stayed No. 5 and Stanford was again sixth, while Wisconsin and Oklahoma State each moved up a notch to No. 7 and 8, idle Texas A&M dropped down two slots to No. 9 and Nebraska remained at No. 10. Other Texas teams in the Top 25 include Baylor which moved up one spot to No. 19, TCU which jumped two slots to No. 23 and Texas which remained at No. 24.

JUST BETWEEN US…Last Friday was a great day for Orange area high school football teams, who not only won, but did it convincingly. LCM battered Caney Creek 54-14 to go 3-0 while Vidor overpowered Kirbyville 35-7 for a 3-0 mark, Deweyville remained perfect in three contests by racing past Woodville 34-14. Bridge City took down Kelly 20-7 for a 2-1 mark while Orangefield used three interceptions by Eric Truncale, who ran one back 40 yards for a touchdown to bash Woodville 28-6. The Bobcats now stand at 2-1.

trout were blowing holes in schools of shad working tighter to the shoreline.

We weren’t keeping fish anyway so we switched gears just to take advantage of the easier bite.I stuck with a glow-chartreuse Flats Minnow and a Stinky Pink Sea Shad rigged on a 1/8^th ounce head and caught or missed a trout on almost every cast.

The more enjoyable tactic, however, was watching them absolutely destroy a black Pro Strike Hunchback. I personally don’t like fishing the lure, but I enjoy watching clients and friends fish it. I derive no pleasure from casting a topwater lure and simply reeling it back in on a slow non-stop retrieve, but that is when this lure is at its best.

Black has not been a great color for us lately, but it was the easiest accessed at the time and the fish ate it like it

was candy. I have since learned that black has been one of the best sellers. The two better colors for us have been bone/ chartreuse and a chrome/pink.

If you have never had much luck walking the dog with a Spook or She Dog, this is the topwater lure for you. If you can cast it out and reel it back in slowly you are in business.

Doug Patterson and I were talking about the Hunchback a month ago and he said that he was catching keeper trout on it when nothing else would fool a trout over 14-inches.

Eric Ronning adds that he has just wrecked the redfish swimming it in the shallow marshes. “You would not believe how far the reds will travel to hit it,” he stated, “and they literally swim right behind it for several feet before demolishing it!” Perhaps the biggest issue has been finding the lure as the only place I can find them is at Daley’s and they run out of them as quickly as they get them in.

Games of the Week. Joe Kazmar

H WEST ORANGE-STARK over JASPER—

The Mustangs have had a tough time over the years beating the Bulldogs at home, but they are in a desperate situation—being winless on the 15th of September. The ‘Dogs are coming off a big 61-12 win over Houston Worthing and figure the ‘Stangs are ripe for the picking.

H BRIDGE CITY over KIRBYVILLE—The Wildcats have yet to hit the win column in three tries and will pull out all the stops to get that first win of the season. The Cards just need to continue playing sound football to make sure the upset doesn’t happen.

H COLDSPRING over ORANGEFIELD—

The Bobcats will be visiting the No. 1-rated Class 3A team in the Houston area and one of the better 3A teams in the State of Texas. It certainly would be a feather in their caps if they can pull off this upset.

H DEWEYVILLE over BURKEVILLE—The Pirates are on a roll with three impressive victories in their first three games and they should still be undefeated after this road game Friday night.

H ORANGE COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN over BRENHAM CHRISTIAN—The Lions have been crossing the enemy’s goal line with great consistency and should continue their winning ways with this kind of an offense.

H LAMAR over INCARNATE WORD— The Cards should get back to their winning ways after running into a tough South Alabama team Saturday.

H MCNEESE STATE over SIOUX FALLS— The Cowboys ran into a buzz-saw two weeks ago at Kansas and still made a fairly good showing against a major university. The Pokes have had a couple of weeks to heal from their “sacrificial lamb” game where they traded a good payday for a loss.

LCM Bears From Previous Page

kicked a 29 yard field goal bringing the score to 54-14. There was 4:49 left on the clock. The Bears ate up the clock and took the win to bring them to 3-0 for the season.

There were two injuries for the Bears, quarterback Brilon Douglas suffered an ankle injury, a possible sprain, and tailback Alex Sezer took a blow to the knee resulting in a possible sprain there.

LCM earned 20 first downs to the Panthers six. The Bears carried the ball 34 times for 153 yards compared to the Panthers 33 carries for 104 yards. Completely dominating the air the Bears passed for 242 yards allowing the Panthers zero yards passing.

Rick Perry Revisited

Personality Place Country Decor Embroidery and lots more!

409.745.4147

KENT CONWELL LIGHTER SIDE OF LIFE

For The Record

A couple weeks back, a gentleman stopped me in front of the post office and questioned me about an article I’d written about Rick Perry. He had considered voting for Perry until he read the article. Now, he had questions.

Well, we all do, and I hastened to explain that while I had strong reservations about our governor, what I considered his negative aspects no way precluded my voting either for or against him.

I was just stating facts. And I could name more issues such as the birther stuff, seceding from the U.S., and his WE SELL penchant to be a bedfellows PARTS FOR with Cintra, a Spanish-based toll-road developer/operator ALL MAJOR and Texas-based Zachry ConBRANDS!!! struction.

Chris Bell, Carole Keeton Strayhorn, Kinky Friedman, a Libertarian candidate, and a write-in independent.

Perry polled 39 percent; Bell 29.8 percent; Strayhorn 18 percent, and Friedman 12.6 percent. The Libertarian and the write-in polled 0.6 percent.

It is interesting to note that less than 40 percent of registered voters participated in the election. So, out of approximately 10.5 million registered voters, he receive 1.7 million votes.

Put another way, he was elected by 17-18% of Texas citizens. Certainly not a majority choice. Perhaps just the lesser of six evils, huh?

He became only the third governor in state history elected by a plurality of less than 40 percent of votes cast.

Other elections, he solidly defeated his opponent.

It is true during his tenure, almost half of the new jobs in the country have been created here in our state. How much credit he should get, I don’t know. I do know he used taxpayer money to entice companies to create jobs in the state, but then, isn’t a governor supposed to take steps to help his state prosper?

Texas is a right-to-work state, meaning we’re not at the mercy of unions (although in

their way, they do good). We have no state income tax nor state tax on capital gains, all choice plums for businesses looking to relocate or start up. You can’t give him credit for that.

We had that before him.

This last legislative session, he tried, but failed to ban sanctuary cities-those that do not allow municipal funds or resources to be used to enforce federal immigration laws, usually by now allowing police or municipal employees to inquire about one’s immigration status. I applaud him for the effort.

Austin, Baytown, Brownsville, Channelview, Denton, Dallas, El Cenizo, Fort Worth, Houston, Katy, Laredo, League City, McAllen, Port Arthur, and San Antonio are all considered sanctuary cities. That means illegals can live there without fear of arrest and deportation while at the same time milking cities of funds designed to support legal citizens of need. Those city officials should be real proud of themselves.

In 2003, Perry managed to get tort reform, which means he put caps on non-monetary medical malpractice damages.

Such legislation was instrumental in bringing more doctors into the state.

“You and I could take each candidate and find a list of negatives as long as your arm.”

Perry’s a farm boy. He was an Eagle scout, A&M graduate, and an Air Force pilot.

He started out in politics as a democrat, but along the way switched sides. Much is made of the fact he has never lost an election, although in 2006 he won only by a plurality over

HARRY’S

Texas has always been a litigious state, with Jefferson County having one of the most favorable environments for trial attorneys. This last session, Perry signed a “loser pays” bill, which, depending on the situation, makes a losing plaintiff liable for the other party’s attorney fees.

On the flip side of this legislation is the concern that the poor will not pursue legitimate claims out of fear of losing.

He signed the voter I.D. bill, which is designed to prevent fraud at the ballot box.

Would I vote for him?

To the gentleman in front of the post office, I’ll admit I’m not sure. Besides, we’ve a long way to go. I can’t help thinking that someone who packs a .380 magnum while jogging could very well shoot himself in the foot.

The gentleman with whom I spoke is like most us, desperate to get the country going again.

Many probably share his feeling when he said, “if the election was between Mortimer Snerd and Obama, I’d vote for Mortimer.”

What if it were between Perry and Mortimer?

W.H. Stark House, Stark Museum of Art to participate in Smithsonian Museum Day On Saturday, Sept. 24, The W.H. Stark House and the Stark Museum of Art, both in Orange, Texas, will participate in the seventh annual Museum Day. For all visitors bringing a Smithsonian Museum Day Admission Ticket, the Stark Museum of Art will give a free set of note cards and The W.H. Stark House will offer free admission on House Tours. Museum Day is a celebration of culture, learning and the dissemination of knowledge presented by Smithsonian magazine. Visit www.smithsonianmag.com/museumday to download a Museum Day Admission Ticket.

At the Stark Museum of Art, Docent Linda Womack will give a spotlight presentation on “Charles Bird King and His Indian Portraits” at 11:00 a.m., noon and 1 p.m., which is of particular relevance because many of King’s portraits perished in a fire at the Smithsonian in 1865.

“The Stark Museum of Art is fortunate to have seven Indian

portraits by King. The Superintendent of Indian Affairs commissioned King to portray Native Americans delegates who visited Washington D.C. King kept versions in his personal collection, and these portraits that remain give us insights into American history that may have otherwise been lost,” commented Sarah Boehme, Director of the Stark Museum of Art. The Museum offers free admission year round, but for all visitors bringing a Smithsonian Museum Day Admission Ticket, the Museum will give a set of note cards featuring collection masterworks without charge.

Located at 712 Green Avenue in Orange, Texas, the Stark Museum of Art is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Admission is free. Group tours are available by appointment. For more information, call 409.886.ARTS (2787) or visit http://www.starkmuseum.org/.

Teal season opens to mixed reviews OUTDOORS-WEEKLY CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE

For The Record

Opening weekend of early teal season can best be described as a classic case of “have or have not”.

For many hunters it was one end of the spectrum or the other and no in between. Rarely will you see birds as concentrated as they are right now and that pattern doesn’t look it will change any time soon. If you were one of the fortunate ones who were able to hunt on or near any type of flooded agriculture, especially rice, you probably had some fantastic shooting. A little farther down the coast in counties where rice production is more prevalent the reports were fantastic as many hunters knocked out limits in just minutes.

The conditions for hunting along the coastal prairies have been much less than desirable due to historic drought that has gripped most of Texas for the past months. Many of the best areas that under normal conditions held the perfect amounts of water were bone dry and cracked. Little or no substantial rainfall left many farmers and hunters alike in desperate need of water for both crops and ducks. Normally this problem was solved with a checkbook as it’s customary to buy water from local agencies during drought years. This year was different, the drought was so bad that no water was being sold for duck hunting and in some cases rice farmers were denied water to flood

their fields for second crop production. The forecast for the early teal season that looked bad turned out as bad as expected for many.

Now the folks who were able to get water either through captured rainwater or private wells just absolutely had more birds than they could have ever hoped for. The combination of a record numbers of birds and fewer places for them to go translated into some ridiculously good hunting for some and empty skies for others. I got a few phone calls with reports Sunday evening that were mind boggling. Quick limits from large groups of hunters were enough to make just about any hunter jealous, especially those who struggled.

Public land hunters were also in the same boat as far numbers of birds and conditions go. Many refuge areas that offer public hunting have also been affected by the drought and that means fewer places for folks to hunt. Several Wildlife Management Areas have issued statements letting hunters know that due to the lack of water the amount of hunting areas available have been greatly reduced. Locally we have not had that problem as of yet and it shouldn’t be a factor thanks to tropical storm Lee. As a matter of fact several local areas have been holding good numbers of teal and that should also continue as we get more birds coming into the area each day.

As this column is being written the big full moon is still in the sky and most certainly ushering in new populations of teal each night. I wouldn’t be surprised if the current trend holds true for the next week where those folks with plenty of water

Hunters fortunate enough to have water near any suitable habitat had a great opening weekend for the early teal season.

continue to take the lion’s share of the birds. I do however look for those birds to start spreading out into other areas like saltwater marshes as hunting pressure on rice fields increases and forces some of those teal out. Now if we could only get a little help from the weather man and get those cooler temperatures back, that would be perfect.

(Hours By Appointment) Lenzi and Lamar enjoyed a quick fishing trip before the wedding!

RECORD PHOTO: Dickie Colburn

Lamar Belcher and Lenzi Childress decided a day on the water was in order prior to their upcoming wedding and we got an early start Monday morning. I haven’t fished the south end much lately, but the promise of a stiff afternoon wind made that run a better option.

Much to my surprise we fished under birds all day long from the Causeway to Garrison’s. We caught a bunch of small trout, but we finished with a very nice box of 16 to 19-inch trout and 3 slot reds as well. I have no idea why we didn’t do any better on slot reds than we did as there was no doubt that they were all around us.

As a matter of fact we never caught our first one until one o’clock only to quickly pick up two more before the wind blew us out. Lenzi caught her personal best red and it took its toll on her. She stayed with us cast for cast up until that point, but the extended battle was more than she bargained for.

Oddly enough, both Lamar and Lenzi caught far more fish with a roach colored TTF Flats Minnow than I did with a 5-inch Assassin or Tidal Surge Mullet. I stuck with the longer plastics only because the ribbon fish were everywhere and the white shrimp the fish were chasing were huge. I eventually switched over to the shorter roach colored plastic as well and we finished with a rush.

The Triangle Tail Chasers will host their monthly tournament this weekend and it should be a good one. The side pot for this event is the redfish closest to the 21-inch mark without going over it. For more information call Michael at 409- 670-2471 or go to their web site at www.triangletailchasers.com.

They have only one more tournament left to fish in October before hosting their championship at a date to be determined.
