Britt Godwin headlines heritage fest Mike Louviere For The Record

Country music has undergone many changes since the day it was known as “Hillbilly Music.” Writers write different, arrangers arrange different, musicians play different and singers sing different.

There are some artists who have remained true to the roots of country music. Britt Godwin is one of those who want to keep country music true to its roots. Godwin will be the headline performer at the upcoming Bridge City Heritage Festival, Oct. 1.

The festival is being hosted by the Bridge City Historical Museum, a nonprofit charitable organization formed in 2009 to preserve local history and enhance tourism.

Godwin is a triple threat artist. He performs solo, he heads B.B. & Company and he also has the Remember Me When Orchestra that does the big band sounds of the 1930s and 40s.

At the Heritage festival he will be performing with B.B. & Company.

Godwin started performing and recording as a teenager.

Orangefield mourns death of students Nicole Gibbs

For The Record

Through tears of sorrow and pain, the Orangefield and the surrounding community mourns the loss of three young men. Grey Smith, Jacob Bates and Darrick Brantley, all juniors at Orangefield High School, died Sunday, Sept. 18 due to a car accident on Hwy 62 near Hoo Hoo Rd (south of FM 105).

At approximately 3:30 a.m., Smith, the driver of the four door Mazda, crossed the center line into the path of a Chevrolet Tahoe, driven by Clinton Lloyd of Orange. Pct. 2 Justice of the Peace Judge Derry Dunn pronounced Smith and Bates dead at the scene and Brantley, who was riding in the backseat, was transported to St. Elizabeth’s in Beaumont where he later died.

Lloyd suffered from a broken leg and his three year old son, who was secured in his child’s safety seat, received a few minor bruises.

The initial cause of the accident is still unclear but it is still under investigation by the Texas Department of Public

Safety. Rumors have circulated that alcohol could have played a role, but Judge Dunn said there was no evidence of alcohol at the scene.

Port of Orange board member, Barbara Winfree, scoops the grand prize winning cow from the bayou during the Cow Bayou Cattle Drive last Saturday. Similar to a rubber ducky derby, a herd of 500 floating cows drifted with the tide to the finish line. Dr. Chris Penning of Bridge City won the 40 inch television donated by the Sears Hometown Store in Orange. The event was hosted by the Historical Museum of Bridge City in celebration of the Winfree family legacy in Orange County and to promote the upcoming Bridge City Heritage Festival, Saturday, Oct. 1.

and asked me to come to the Heritage Festival, I was like ‘WOW’ this is great. It is like a homecoming, it is great to be asked to do this in my hometown,” he said. “This is such a great cause! For Bridge City to have the opportunity to have a museum of the quality this one is going to be is great. I am thrilled and the band is also very pleased and highly honored to be asked to be a part of this fundraiser,” said Godwin.

Godwin performs at McKenzie’s Pub in Beaumont every Thursday. B.B. & Company and the Remember Me When Orchestra alternate dates at the Pub. CDs of the orchestra and Godwin’s country sounds may be obtained from him. The information is on his Facebook page.

B.B. & Company is a six piece group made up of performers who have at least 30 years experience each in the music business. Godwin and Bubba Moore are joined by Huey Buxton, Larry Shelton,

a 1986 graduate of Bridge City High School.

Godwin was on the road with Tracey Byrd for 11 years.

“We must have performed at the Opry at least 50 times and it was always a thrill, and also a little scary,” Godwin said.

“We walked on stage and in the wings were Bill Anderson, Porter Waggoner, and Jimmy Dickens waiting and watching the boys from Texas. That’s scary.”

They did well. Little Jimmy Dickens complemented them of their Western Swing. Eddie Stubbs, long time Opry announcer, also said he liked the traditional sound they played.

Godwin is carrying tradition every time he goes on stage.

Money is never an easy topic to discuss but as the deadline approaches for Orange County to adopt a budget for the 2011-2012 fiscal year, money was the main topic of discussion at Commissioners’ Court on Monday.

While County Judge Carl Thibodeaux informed those attending the public hearing that the Commissioners cut as much of the expenditures they could, the Commissioners passed (with a four to one vote) a 2.92 percent tax increase over the current effective tax rate. The property tax rate for 2011-2012 Orange County citizens is now .52990,

which is less than last year’s tax rate of .53507.

Had the Commissioners not increased the tax rate at all, the County would most likely see a deficit of approximately $330,000 at the end of the year. Even a one percent increase would have left the county in a deficit.

The adopted budget will raise property taxes by $1,067,736, 4.55 percent more than last year’s budget. Of that amount, $205,337 is tax revenue to be raised from new property added to the tax roll this year.

One of the reasons why the budget is increased is because of the payroll, which is

Buxton played with Godwin on his very first album, recorded while Godwin was still a teenager. Shelton, who was the first trumpet player to play at the Grand Old Opry since the late Marty Robbins appeared with a trumpet in his band, played with Godwin and Tracey Byrd at the Grand Old Opry.

The band works very hard to bring the classic country sounds back to life with each performance. In addition to the country sounds of Hank Williams, George Jones, Ray Price, Bob Wills, Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash and many

more, they also do Classic Rock and Roll from the legends like Elvis, Roy Orbison and Chuck Berry, to name a few.

All of these musicians share the common goal of wanting to be true to their roots. Each of them has performed in a variety of venues with a number of different artists. They each played together in other bands before coming together as B.B. & Company.

The Bridge City Heritage Festival will be held on the grounds of the Community Center on Oct. 1. For information and the schedule of events call Paige Williams at 409-783-3743.

The Commissioners also set the salaries expenses and other allowances of elected county and precinct officials for fiscal year 2011-2012.

He immediately reached out to us and we had a series of meetings over a period of time.”

From those meetings, the DEA agents were able two work undercover and infiltrate a large methamphetamine organization out of Mexico. The DEA agents were able to set several wire taps.

From there, they were able to arrest 40 with some that even came from Orange County.

“This has been just one of many investigations we’ve had with the Orange County Sheriff’s office,” Wilkins said. “It’s always started with [the Orange County Sheriff’s Department] and it’s lead all the way to Mexico.

early fall colors. (Editor’s note: Today the couple celebrates their 38th. We congratulate them and best wishes for many more healthy, happy years. *****Dr. Tracie Updike, a native of Bridge City, earned her medical degree at Texas Tech in Lubbock. She has opened her practice at 1750 Ninth Ave., in Port Arthur. (Editor’s note: I wonder where Dr. Updike is now? Also I would be interested in knowing just how many doctors came from Bridge City High School, including dentist. It seems like a high number. Many were graduates of Texas Tech Medical School including Dr. Updike, Dr. David Jones and Dr. Amber Dunn. *****Tommy Bean, held in a Mexican jail for the past two months, is back in the United States.

Congressman Nick Lampson was instrumental in Bean’s release. *****Teen violence reported by 911.

Sheriff’s deputies find 14-year-old Steven Forester dead from a gunshot wound. A 17-year-old white male was arrested and is awaiting formal charges.

From the Creaux’s Nest TRAGIC DEATH COMES IN THREES Tragedies are always unpredictable and unexpected. This week three outstanding young men lost their lives in a freakish auto accident. Parents throughout time have lived with the fear that their child will meet with danger. We all pray that our children will return home safely but too often that is not the case.

It’s almost predictable that every year we will witness the loss of young lives.

Jacob Bates, Darrick Brantley and Grey Smith lost their lives Sunday morning at 3:15 a.m. on Highway 62. They were headed south and hit a car headed north. What are the odds of that happening at that time of night, with no other cars on the road? Everything had to be just exactly positioned for that to occur. It’s better than a thousand to one odds that only two cars, on a long stretch, would collide. If you’re a Christian, you belief will be that it was destined, their time, God’s will, etc. Was it fate or an accident that never should have happened?

All I know is that those three boys were basically good kids, not hell raising, troublemakers. One thing they all had in common was great personalities. They were fun loving boys who kept you in stitches. I had known Grey since he was big enough to bounce a basketball. Even at that young age he was full of life, loved people and was always entertaining. His dad Jack, a former basketball player, worked with hundreds of youngsters on the basketball court, mine included. Anytime you saw Jack’s three boys they were carrying a basketball. They were great kids, with a great dad, a man who cared for youngsters.

I didn’t know Darrick, just knew of him but I understand he was an avid hunter and fisherman and had many friends. I was familiar with Jacob, who was named for his grandfather, the late Daniel Jacobs.

Daniel died recently. He and his wife Gloria spent much time helping to raise Jacob. He was his mom Kelly’s only child and she loved her boy. Before Daniel got so sick with cancer he and Gloria attended every baseball game Jacob played in. The day before his death he had mowed his grandmother’s lawn.

The death of those boys is so sad. I think more so because they were so outgoing, polite and caring.

They loved their friends, they loved life.

CONDOLENCES We were saddened to learn about the death of Emma Day, age 88, who died in Round Rock on Sept.

15. Emma had been a 50 year resident of Bridge City.

We had known her and husband Ralph over those years. Emma was very community minded and participated in the political process, helping to elect good people. She was a friendly person who never met a stranger. She is survived by one daughter, Jessie Hebert. Jessie and her husband Windell, for many years were leaders in the community. He was a CPA. Jessie served on the school board and in many other service organizations. Graveside services were held Sunday for Emma at Hillcrest Cemetery near Bridge City. May she rest in peace. Please see obit.

A FEW HAPPENINGS Congratulations to Commissioner’s Court for again hammering out a fair budget. I believe this is Judge Thibodeaux’s 17th budget. Times are more difficult now but our conservative court works very hard to come up with a good budget. We’re one of the few counties that hasn’t had to resort to massive layoffs or decline in services. Year in and year out they do a good job of governing. *****I was sorry to hear that Tom and Jane Perry, because of Tom’s declining health, were forced into moving to Tennessee.

Tom and Jane, over the years, were pillars of the Bridge City community. Tom served on the school board and city council. He was a driving force in the chamber and both were always available to help with any community project. Their only child, Tom Jr., lives in Tennessee and they will be near him. Tom has been battling cancer for some months. They gave a lot of themselves and for that we are thankful. We wish them the best. *****We understand that attorney H.D. Pate is undergoing knee replacement surgery but will maintain his practice. *****If you stop by Danny’s around noon no telling who you might run into. Monday, the Mike Trahans were enjoying lunch with Richard Sims. Back a few years ago, their dads, “Crip” and Robert Sims, were the movers and shakers about town. “Crip” was an Abbeville native who resided in West Orange; Mike now lives at the old home place on Lansing St. We also saw David Richard who told us his wife, Fay, just went through cancer surgery and is doing quite well. When she was coming out of the drugs she got to rattling about telling Roy she had put those papers on the table next to the managers office like he told her to. This was 35 years later and she was still delivering Dunn’s newspaper, the Opportunity Valley News. Old newspaper carriers never forget. She’s a sweetheart and we pray for her complete recovery. *****Special folks celebrating birthdays. Our buddy Tommy Simar is a

year older on Sept. 23. I bet Sue has something special planned for him. ***Our girl Penny LeLeux celebrates another birthday on Sept. 23. Her birthday sure seems to come around often. ***Marcel’s little girl, city councilperson Teresa Beauchamp, marks another year Sept. 24. She stays the same, it’s only Frank that’s ageing.*****Goodbye Hanna. She was quite a lady, a champion Ridgeback. Hanna died over the weekend. For years people had seen Mark Dunn and Hanna running the track and the stands.

She gave birth to some good pups. Mark only has Raz left. Hanna brought him many years of joy. *****Special thanks to Ms. Pearl for the homemade brownies and pound cake. Goodies come in handy on these long Tuesdays. Good too. *****Pattie Hanks was in from Vegas to see Braelyn Zion Scott, her new grandson. She and daughter Jami brought the youngster by. He had his mom’s good looks. *****Jerry Wayne Bell was spotted hauling a port-a-potty around town. I had heard the sickness was going around but didn’t know it was bad enough to haul an outhouse with you. *****Don’t forget the Farmer’s Market. Always good produce. Saturday I got fresh grown tomatoes, okra, cucumbers, watermelon and squash. Check them out. Big Lots parking lot on Wednesday 4-6 p.m. and Saturday morning, 6 a.m. till. *****Thanks to Commissioner John Dubose, Roundbunch Road to Hwy. 1006 is sure nice to travel on now. *****If you are in the market for a nice pre-owned car or truck, be sure to check out David Self Ford before you buy. His autos are certified with a full warranty. *****A lot of fun can be had at the free show and tunnel boat races to be held on the Sabine River in downtown Orange. The races will amaze you. Load up the kids for an experience they will never forget. *****We were sorry to hear about the death of Dolores Hope, age 102. She died Monday, Sept. 19, at her home. We had been fortunate to have met her when she accompanied Bob to Port Arthur for the Hughen School benefits. Bob Hope died at age 100, on July 27, 2003. The couple married Feb. 19, 1934. *****The Wednesday Lunch Bunch will dine at Novrozsky’s this week and be back at Robert’s Restaurant next week. Everyone is welcome.

Caution reigns when buying a car via the Internet Staff Report

For The Record

Over the years, the Internet has grown from a relative novelty into something households steadfastly rely on in nearly every aspect of life. Bills are now paid online, professional and personal communication is conducted through the Internet, and couples even begin relationships thanks to online dating Web sites.

The Internet has also changed the way consumers make their purchases. Nowadays, even big-ticket purchases like automobiles are made online. However, some consumers still fear using the Internet to find their next vehicle, preferring to buy vehicles at a local dealership because it calms some of their concerns about the security of buying online. While there’s no guarantee everything will go swimmingly when buying a car online, there are ways consumers can lessen their risk of being victimized.

Investigate the seller. Consumers can be victimized by a disreputable dealer in person, but the general consensus among consumers is such sellers are now more common online. That may or may not be true, but consumers can get peace of mind by investigating the seller before any money exchanges hands.

Once you find a car you like, e-mail the seller and ask for ad-

Do You Have Obstuctive Sleep Apnea?

Do You Use A C-Pap Or Bi-Pap Machine?

DO YOU HATE YOUR C-PAP?®

There is an effective, custom treatment that you wear in your mouth, makes no noise, requires no electricity, and is FDA approved for Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Would you like an alternative, FDA Appoved Treatment?

ditional photos and attempt to set up an appointment to come see the vehicle. The seller’s initial response will likely speak volumes. If the seller responds with additional images and provides times to come see the vehicle, that’s a good start. That likely means there is a vehicle, and this isn’t just a con artist trying to pull a fast one. Any resistance from the seller should be a major red flag, and consumers should simply look elsewhere.

One great way to investigate sellers is to look for a vehicle through a Web site like eBay Motors. This site has thousands of vehicle listings, and buyers can click on the seller’s name and read the reviews of past customers. This might not provide a wealth of information when buying from private sellers who don’t often sell vehicles, but it can be a great source of information if buying from a dealership or auto shop who routinely sells vehicles via the Internet.

Investigate the vehicle. The seller isn’t the only thing that might be a fraud. The vehicle itself might not be what it’s cracked up to be. When shopping for a car online, always get the vehicle identification number. This will appear as the VIN in an ad for the car, and the VIN can be used to obtain a vehicle history report from a company like CARFAX. Trustworthy sellers might provide the vehicle history report, but if a seller doesn’t, that’s not necessarily a red flag. Vehicle history reports typically cost between $30-40, but sellers can often buy up to five such reports for less than $50. If a seller has already purchased five and they weren’t returned by prospective buyers, it’s hard to blame the seller for not buying more and wanting the buyer to purchase the report themselves. To get the report, you simply need the VIN. Once you get the vehicle history report, it will reveal if the car has been in an accident; if it’s been victimized by flooding; if the airbag has been deployed; odometer readings; number of previous owners; and if the car has been resalvaged. Altogether, this should paint an accurate picture of what the car has been through. If the car appears on the up and up, then ask the seller to take the vehicle to your own mechanic for inspection. If the seller balks at this request, walk away, no matter how good the vehicle looks on its history report.

Pay the safe way. A personal check, a wire transfer or a plain old bundle of cash is not the way to purchase a car online. Such payments are not traceable once the checks have been cashed, or the money has been wired or the cash has exchanged hands.

When making payments, do so using a secured browser, which will be noted with a URL that starts with “https:” and not just the “http:” of standard Web sites.

But safe buying online goes beyond secure Web sites. Buyers should always pay with a credit card when shopping online. Doing so protects consumers against fraud. If the car you “buy” isn’t delivered or it’s been sold to someone else, then the credit card company whose card you used can be used to get your money back. Notify the company immediately. Some Web sites even offer their own purchase protection programs to safeguard buyers in the case of fraudulent purchases.

Buying a car online makes some consumers understandably nervous. However, when exercising caution, buyers can find great deals online.

Survivors include her daughter, Jessie Hebert and husband Windell of Round Rock, Texas; granddaughters, Prix Fronckiewicz and husband Craig of Spring, Texas, Jolie Friedman and husband Michael of Round Rock; great-grandchildren, Clark Friedman, Kyle Fronckiewicz, Noah Friedman, Jessi Fronckiewicz, Emma Friedman; brotherin-law, Jack Day and wife Myrtle of Groves; step-granddaughter, Delores Willis of Victoria, Texas and special Cajun cousins of Erath, La.

Emma was very dear to all who came into contact with her.

Her youth was very moderate but she had a family that shared a great love. She was a very good athlete in her youth and always loved sports. She loved her two granddaughters and shared their life.

She loved seeing her greatgrandchildren active in sports, dancing and cheerleading. She often said “I thank God every day for allowing me to live long enough to see these great grandchildren.” Another say of hers was “every day is a good day.”

She impacted the lives of all she met. Her love brought unmistakable joy to all she knew.

During the four and one half months from her accident until her death, her care givers and other patients fell in love with her even though she spoke not a word. The family will miss her but are thankful she is now safely in the presence of our Lord.

Emma was an only child and Jessie was her only child. They shared a marvelous, mutual love.

Jessie spared nothing in meeting the needs of Emma. The world would be a wonderful place if such caring existed between every parent and child.

Those honored to serve as pallbearers were Windell Hebert, Craig Fronckiewicz, Michael Friedman, Clark Friedman, Noah Friedman and Kyle Fronckiewicz.

Honorary Pallbearers were Jack Day and her Cajun cousins.

Cooking with Katherine: Spinach & Cheese Swirls Katherine Aras For The Record

Can you guess by now that I really love to eat my spinach? You probably noticed I cook with a lot of cheese too. Yes this is very true. I try to balance out my meals with lots of veggies, and when possible incorporate some fruits in our diet too. You will never see me cook a meat without a vegetable to go with it, and I try to have a starch too, normally only one though. I will cut out the starch and make a salad and extra vegetable dish to go with the fish or meat if I am trying to cut back. I am not a bread eater for sure, but enjoy eating garlic bread every now and then. This recipe I am telling you about will give you a combination of all you food groups except the meat. If you would like to have a complete meal, then just add any leftover meat to this recipe or just brown some ground beef and add before folding up your roll

of pastry. I made this for an appetizer this past weekend and everyone who liked spinach loved them, including me.

Happy eating!

Heat oven to 400 degrees and lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper. Stir egg in a small cup. Stir Muenster cheese, Parmesan cheese, onion and garlic powder in medium bowl.

Unfold pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Put both sheets side by side and

Roll out flat, about 10 inches wide, sealing them together in the middle. Brush egg on top first, then add cheese and spinach mixture about 4-5 inches from one end. Roll up jelly roll style, folding in sides first then roll up and slice into one inch slices. After putting on cookie sheet, brush the top

with the rest of egg coating all the top real good. Bake for 25 min. then put broil on low and cook tops till browned good.

You must watch this closely! If you want me to make these for you that is possible too. Just call for your order today.

For The Record

Part of the fun of Halloween is arriving home after a day of trick-or-treating and having some spooktacular treats to enjoy. Whether you’re hosting a Halloween party or simply feeding a group of hungry, costumed kids, fun recipes that turn ordinary foods into spooky specialties are essential.

Mummy Wraps: Take the “pigs in a blanket”

concept to a new level with this clever treat. Simply wrap hot dogs with strips of dough cut from refrigerator biscuits or breadsticks to simulate the look of mummy shrouds. Place them on cookie sheets. Cut small slits for eyes and place peppercorns or black mustard seeds to serve as the eyes.

Bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown. To serve upright, place shish kabob skewers in the mummies before baking and then stick the mummies in a piece of craft foam covered in cheesecloth.

Cheesy Fingers: What’s scarier than dismembered digits on a plate?

All it takes is a package of mozzarella string cheese, a knife and some small, thin slices of green and red bell peppers for this gross delicacy.

Cut the cheese sticks in half and then use a knife to carve straight indentations to simulate the bends in the skin around the knuckles of the fingers. At the top, carve out a flattened area for the fingernail. Then place very small slices of red or green peppers to serve as the spooky fingernails. Adhere with a dab of cream cheese.

Bottomless Bog: This eerie bog will make children question what is inside.

Make a large bowl of green gelatin dessert and pop in different edible creepy crawlies before allowing the gelatin to set. Gummy worms, grape “eyeballs,” sour fish, pieces of fruit tape, and anything else you can think of can be added.

Kids will scoop out the dessert and discover the frightening things inside.

Skull Potatoes: Turn ordinary potatoes into something seemingly more sinister.

Halve baking potatoes and carve each half into a skull shape, sort of like the outline of a pear. Bake until the potatoes are cooked through. Frost

with sour cream. Use pieces of cheese to mimic decaying teeth. Black olives can be eyes and nose sockets of the skull.

Quesadilla Ghosts: An open-faced quesadilla can be turned into a spooky specter.

Cut ghost-shaped pieces from flour tortilla shells.

Sprinkle with shredded Monterey jack cheese and allow to bake in the oven until the cheese has melted and the ghosts are crisp. Spread sour cream over the cheese and then use slices of scallion for the eyes and a ring of jalapeno pepper for a mouth. Ghosts can be made gory with salsa as blood.

Vampire Veggies: What if veggies could suck blood? Conduct this science experiment and enjoy eating the research afterward.

Cut the ends off of stalks of celery. Place the celery in a tall glass filled half-way with tomato juice overnight. The celery should absorb the juice through the thin channels in the stalks. The next day kids

A mess that needs some cleaning up KENT CONWELL LIGHTER SIDE OF LIFE For The Record

No one disputes the chilling fact that our country is $14 trillion plus in debt. No one can dispute that when Clinton left office, we had a surplus. No one can dispute the debt started under Bush and escalated under Obama.

Today, we stand here like dummies staring at a stack of thousand dollar bills 945 miles (miles, not feet) high. Nine hundred and forty five. That’s a greater distance than from Orange, Texas to El Paso.

Even such a simple explanation of the enormity of the debt is still almost too confounding for me.

Nine hundred and forty-five! Why that’s almost as many miles as your teenager puts on his car over the weekend, right?

Fourteen trillion, and now the administration wants and half trillion to do the same thing all over again.

Remember Einstein’s definition of insanity- doing the same thing and expecting different results.

How did this all happen?

Most of us know exactly how it came about because unfortunately, the same thing has happened to many of us. We’re rocking along, holding our own, and than bingo, we’re broke. How? Well, it’s a lot of little things we overlook.

But then someone shouts. Hold on! We’ve been fighting wars for ten years now. Them wars ain’t little things.

And he’s right. The Iraq and Afghan wars aren’t little things.

So, let’s talk about them. How much have we spent?

No one really knows.

Believe that? You should. We’re talking about Congress here, folks, not forthright, plain-speaking Americans.

You see, Congress has allotted the Defense Department $1.3 trillion for the wars through this fiscal year. President Obama said the wars cost about $1 trillion.

But those numbers are incomplete. In addition to that which Congress appropriated, the Pentagon spent an additional unknown amount from its $5.2 trillion base budget over the same period. According to a recent Brown University study, the wars and their ripple effects has cost the U.S. $3.7 trillion--over $12,000 bucks per person, even for the newest little guy or gal to pop into this world.

Other reports put it over $5 trillion, others a tad under, but I figure if we set the monetary cost at $4 trillion, we’d probably be in the ballpark.

I was no math whiz in school, but even I can subtract, and $4 trillion from $14 trillion still leaves $10 big T’s.

Though many disagree with the war, everyone can see where those funds went. What about the others? The $10 trillion?

There are the entitlements, social security, Medicare, Medicaid, and others, all of which were designed to support those citizens who had fallen on hard times.

What about those who discovered the loopholes in the system? The illegals? How much do they cost us?

How about $340.000,000,000.00 a year? If you’re like me and all those zeroes confuse you, the figure is three hundred and

forty billion a year. A year!

Cut that out, and in three years, we’d have a trillion cut off the debt.

Don’t believe the figures?

According to FAIR, the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a national, nonprofit, public-interest organization that believes our nation’s immigration policies must be reformed to serve the national interest stated that every year up to $22 billion is spent on welfare for illegal aliens. Another $22 billion is spent on assistance programs such as WIC, free school breakfast and lunches, and food stamps.

Two and a half billion is spent on Medicaid while $12 billion is spent on public schools for illegals who cannot speak a word of English.

Seventeen billion is spent annually on the education of anchor babies, the children of illegals.

WE SELL Three million a DAY is spent incarcerating illegal aliens who comprise PARTS 30% FORof all federal inmates.

American taxpayers spend ninety billion annually on social ALL MAJOR services for illegal aliens.

BRANDS!!!

Two hundred billion a year in suppressed American wages are the result of illegal aliens, and to add insult to injury, $45 billion a year is remitted to their countries of origin.

And every day, every year, our Congress sits on its thumbs seeing who can one-up each other.

It’s time for term limits on those jokers.

Right now, the Democrats and Republicans are playing footsie with each other--business as usual while trying to make it look as if they’re governing.

Ask any individual who has pulled himself out of bankruptcy or overwhelming debt, and he will admit he had to make some tough decisions.

It is time for Congress to do the same thing. rconwell@gt.rr.com http://www.kentconwell.blogspot.com/ www.goodreads.com/author/show/13557.Kent_Conwell www.amazon.com/-/e/B001JPCK26 www.kentconwell.blogspot.com

BC hits the road after smoking Kirbyville 55-12 JOEY ENCALADE FOR THE RECORD

The Bridge City Cardinals improved to 3-1 after a dominating game against the Kirbyville Wildcats, beating them 55-12. Bridge City will be traveling to Stafford for their last non-district game Friday night.

The Cardinals put up 420 total yards of offense, 273 on the ground and 147 yards through the air. As the offense put on a show, the best thing about the game was that we did not have to listen to that Kirbyville train horn more than a couple of times. Thank you defense!

It took the Cardinals only 1:57 to get on the board. Matt Menard hit Cameron Dishon on a 54 yard TD pass, and Daniel Faulk point after made it 7-0. After a big tack-

le from Hunter Wools, forcing the Wildcats to punt, Bridge City took over and manufactured an 80 yards drive for their second score of the first quarter. Menard took on most of the load with three big runs; a 31 yard run, a 14 yard run, and a 30 yards TD run.

Faulk added his second point after, after the Cards second TD with 4:38 left in the first quarter.

The Redbirds were not finished in the first quarter yet. Dylan Sams jumped on a Kirbyville fumble to give the Card s good field position for their third series of the quarter. With 4:18 still left in the first quarter, Dishon took a hand off for what look like an end around, but stepped back and hit a wide open Tyler Roberts for a 39 yard TD strike. Faulk s extra point brought our first quarter score to 21-0.

The first series in the second

quarter, the Cardinals put a 69 yard scoring drive together. Menard picked up a first down on 3 & 11 by racing 27 yards. Mitchel Hubbard collected a pass interference call on a pass that placed the ball at the 32 yard line. Then Menard hit Tanner Cervenka on a pass. Cervenka had a nice run after the catch to get into the end zone. The PAT brought the score to 28-0, with 9:40 left in the half.

After just hearing the horn at the start of the game, Kirbyville finally got to sound it again with 1:57 left in the half, the Wildcats scored on a one yard run, but missed the extra point. The teams headed to the locker room with the Cardinals ahead 28-6.

Kaz’s Fearless Football Forecast

H WEST ORANGE-STARK over GIDDINGS—This has always been a tough foe for the Mustangs over the years, but this year a team will have to stop senior tailback Britton Lindsey to get past the ‘Stangs. WO-S started a win streak for new head coach Cornel Thompson that they will be reluctant to relinquish. Giddings lost a heart-breaker to Class 4A Elgin 30-29 last week and will be ready for the Mustangs at 6 p.m.

Saturday at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville.

Britton Lindsey, Larry Sonnier and Jimmy Salter carry the number 12 jersey onto the field for the Jasper game. Saturday marked the one year anniversary of Reggie Garrett’s death.

Mustangs trample ‘Dogs, face Giddings MUSTANG INSIDER MERI ELEN JACOBS FOR THE RECORD

Pushed into a corner with an 0-2 season start, the WO-S Mustangs came out fighting and sent the Jasper Bulldogs running back to their “dog house” after 48 minutes of play Friday night.

The Mustangs, led by Britton Lindsey, put it into high gear after the half and never looked back as they whipped the ‘Dogs, 37-13. Lindsey had 308 yards on 36 carries and five touchdowns, bringing his rushing yards to over 600 yards for three games.

The Mustang defense was also superb, holding Jasper’s Karrion Morrisey to under 100 yards and limiting their ‘Dog offense to only 12 first downs and only 131 total yards.

“This win was a big deal,” Head Coach

Cornel Thompson said. “We were in a must-win situation. When you start 0-2, players as well as coaches, start doubting.

We’ve been doing a lot of things right, we just haven’t been able to finish. The first two games, we were two or three plays from winning both of them.”

When the team entered the field, the atmosphere seemed to be different than the two previous games. Although it was a somber moment, with several players carrying a number 12 jersey in memory of Reggie Garrett, there was also a determination that shone from that moment until the last seconds ticked off of the clock.

“We practiced harder the last two weeks and just came out with a better attitude,” Lindsey said. “It was the anniversary of Reggie’s death and we were fired up with a bigger purpose than the other weeks.”

The Chain Gang defense started in the first series and shut Jasper down, forcing them to punt on their first possession.

Senior Da’Carlos Renfro took the punt to inside the ten and the very next play, Lindsey hit the end zone to put the Mustangs up, 7-0. It only took the Mustangs two more plays to hit pay dirt again after Jasper’s punter bobbled the snap and WO-S took over at the five yard line.

The Bulldogs got on the board late in the first after the Chain Gang forced them to kick a 24-yard field goal. It didn’t take long for them to score again after Jasper’s Donovan Middleton snagged a Jimmy Salter and returned it 89 yards for a touchdown. The only other Jasper score came late in the second quarter when kicker Marco Lopez hit his second 24-yard field goal for the night.

Lindsey was able to get the scoring started early in the third quarter after junior Travon Blanchard recovered a fumble on a busted up reverse play.

H LITTLE CYPRESS-MAURICEVILLE over LUMBERTON—The Bears are undefeated in their first three games, but starting this weekend EVERY team in District 20-4A is undefeated and has had two weeks to get ready for Friday’s league openers. The playoff picture looks wide open and it starts this week.

H BRIDGE CITY over STAFFORD—The Cardinals will be facing a Stafford team that thrashed their last visiting team, Houston Scarborough, 55-2 Friday night and will be looking for another rout. Let’s hope the Redbirds can cool them off a bit.

H VIDOR over NEDERLAND—The Bulldogs got plenty of help from the men in the striped shirts the last time an Orange County team crossed the Neches River. Let’s see what they can do on their own this time.

H DEWEYVILLE over HULL-DAISETTA—After having an unexpected open date last week, the Pirates are more than ready to put their undefeated record on the line for anybody.

However, H-D will be a much more formidable foe than last week’s scheduled opponent, Burkeville.

“The offensive line really picked it up this week and came out aggressive,” Lindsey said. “During our off week, we had a meeting and all made promises as to what we were going to do after we evaluated our priorities. This past Friday, there was a big difference.”

The Mustangs will now face the Giddings Buffaloes, who are 3-1, losing to the Elgin Wildcats last week by one point in the last few minutes of the game.

“Giddings is a perennial play-off team and this game will have a play-off atmosphere,” Thompson said. “If the two of us make it through the first round of playoffs, we could see each other again in the

second round.”

But for now, it’s time to concentrate on this Saturday’s game, which will be played in Huntsville at Bowers Stadium at 6 pm.

“Giddings has a new coaching staff with a new system, but they still have a veteran team,” Thompson said. “They return 27 seniors who are seasoned and have a tail back, Joseph Glenn, who has 661 yards rushing in four games.”

The Mustangs have faced stiff opponents all year and the key to this weeks’ win will be cutting down on penalties and continuing to execute the offense and defense.

“We have to come out fired up and execute every play,” Lindsey said.

The varsity wasn’t the only one with wins last week. The freshman team won, 31-12. Quarterback Chase Rutledge threw touchdown passes of 18, 12, and 62 yards.

Tre’ Spencer had two of the TD’s while, one coming off a 53 yard interception.

Issac Aubrey had three TD’s to cap off the night. Next game is with PA Memorial next Thursday. Offensive Standouts are Chase Rutledge, Virgil Vontour, Tre’ Spencer, Issac Aubrey, Marco Jaganathan and defensive standouts are Malik Levi, Cameron Herbert, Paul Hebert, Jermaine Mitchell and Keylan Collins.

The Wildcats used their horn for the last time with 5:16 left in the game with an eight yard pass. The try for two was no good because of an interception by Cervenka.

Ashton Hunter scored the last points of the game, with another run, this time 13 yards for the TD. With Faulk s point after, the game ended with the final score of 55-12.

Menard had another big night, with 134 yards rushing and 104 yards passing. Hunter Clark had 62 yards rushing on 11 carries, and Ashton Hunter had 50 yards rushing on six carries.

Faulk put in some time at QB having 19 yards rushing on one carry, and he threw for four yards.. Dishon threw one pass for 39 yards, had eight yards on three rushed, and also led in receiving yards with 54. Roberts had two catches for 47 yards, Cervanka had two catches for 39 yards, and Dalton Dishon had two catches for 7 yards.

Patterns forming in NFL after only two weeks

KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

It generally takes more than two games to find out which teams have playoff potential and which ones may be in for a long season.

However, after watching quite a few games these past two weeks, it’s pretty apparent who the haves and have-nots might be when January rolls around.

The jury appears to still be out on our Dallas Cowboys, who have shown a few moments of brilliance and then look like the same pathetic outfit we’ve endured for the past five seasons.

But in Sunday’s 27-24 come-from behind overtime victory at San Francisco, the fourth period looked like it came right out of a Superman movie—No. 9 looking for his helmet so he can get out on the field and save the day for his teammates and millions of fans depressed because it looked like the Cowboys were going to start the 2011 season at 0-2.

The Houston Texans have posted a pair of solid victories against opponents that normally aren’t destined for the cellar of their respective divisions. They will get a staunch test Sunday against the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome after outclassing the Miami Dolphins 23-13 Sunday afternoon at South Beach.

The Texans are only one of seven teams with 2-0 records after the first two weeks of the 2011 NFL season and are the only undefeated team in the American Football Conference not in the East Division.

If Houston’s start is a fluke, then the Texans might have company in that category with the Washington Redskins and Detroit Lions also sporting unblemished 2-0 marks. But it appears these three teams drafted well and made some good trades in the past few years and are now reaping the fruits of their scouting success.

Starting 2-0 is nothing new for the Texans, who began the 2010 season with victories over Indianapolis (34-24) and Washington (30-27) but then went on to finish last season with a 6-10 record.

The big difference between the two starts is that last year the defense allowed 884 total yards, including 822 passing and six touchdowns. In the twin wins over Indianapolis and Miami this year the Texans surrendered 542 yards, including 342 passing and only two touchdowns.

“We only gave up 13 points today, and you’re going to win a lot of games doing that.” Head Coach Gary Kubiak told the Houston Chronicle Sunday after the game. Hiring Orange native Wade Phillips, who installed a 3-4 defense, is paying quick dividends.

Last year’s NFL rushing leader Arian Foster, who missed the entire first game for the Texans, started against the Dolphins and ran 10 times for 33 yards before taking himself out of the game before halftime when his tender hamstring tightened.

But his understudy, rookie Ben Tate, relieved Foster and ran the ball 19 times in the second half for 82 yards. Tate finished the game with 103 yards on 23 carries and became only the 11th player in NFL history to rush for 100 yards in his first two games.

Tate picked up 116 yards against Indianapolis and is the first rusher to accomplish this feat since Tampa Bay’s Carnell Williams in 2005. He joins an elite group that includes Edgerrin James (1999), Marshall Faulk (1994), Billy Sims (1980), Earl Campbell (1979) and Alan Ameche (1955).

Things looked bleak for the Cowboys at San Francisco as the 49ers jumped out to a 14-0 lead after Dallas quarterback Tony Romo took a shot to his rib cage on the third play of the game.

He was hurting and fought nausea throughout the first half. He went into the locker with the medical staff to see just how badly his ribs were cracked.

Ageless backup Jon Kitna started the third period and threw a touchdown pass, but also tossed a couple of interceptions as Romo exited the locker.

Romo began looking for his helmet and informed Head Coach

Houston Texan Head Coach Gary Kubiak.

Jason Garrett he was “good to go” and vowed to make up for his meltdown a week ago when his mistakes turned a two-touchdown lead into a 27-24 loss against the New York Jets.

The Cowboys were trailing 24-14 when Romo took over and breathed new life into the Dallas offense. He drove the team downfield and hit wide receiver Miles Austin on a 25-yard diving catch in the end zone. It was Austin’s third TD grab, but he injured his hamstring making the circus catch.

With time running down and the Pokes still behind 24-14, the Cowboys turned to little-used wide receiver Jesse Holley who made a couple of key grabs of Romo’s passes to put Dallas in position for a game-tying 48-yard field goal with just two seconds remaining. Dan Bailey booted the ball through the uprights, putting the game into sudden-death overtime.

The 49ers won the coin toss, but the Cowboy’s defense stiffened and caused a three-and-out. Romo made a perfectly-executed play-action fake that sucked in the 49ers’ defense and found Holley all alone over the middle. He was dragged down after a 73 yard gain on the one-yard line where Bailey calmly kicked the game-winning 19-yard field goal.

Romo had fought through what owner Jerry Jones called “excruciating” pain to record his 10th fourth-quarter comeback of his career. “It was something out of a movie,” Jones said of Romo’s performance.

Jones compared Romo’s feat to that of Emmitt Smith overcoming a separated shoulder to lead Dallas to a division-clinching win over the New York Giants in 1994.

“I didn’t want to be 0-2,” Romo said after the game. “At the end of the day it’s about winning and losing, and we needed to win.

Why did I want to be out there? I’m competitive. If I can play, I’m going to play.”

Things don’t get any easier for the Cowboys, who host the undefeated Washington Redskins before a national viewing audience Monday night.

Besides Miami and Indianapolis, a couple of teams off to shaky starts this season are Earl Thomas’ Seattle Seahawks, who have very little offense but are among the top 5 NFL teams in defense and the Kansas City Chiefs who has a porous defense and lost last year’s second-leading rusher All-Pro Jamaal Charles of Port Arthur, with what appeared to be a serious knee injury that ended his season.

KWICKIES…Our two closest Southland Conference teams— the Lamar Cardinals and the McNeese State Cowboys—were the only teams to register victories against non-conference opponents. The Cards outlasted Incarnate Word of San Antonio 45-35 while our alma mater McNeese downed Sioux Falls 31-17. The only other SLC team to post a victory Saturday was

Kaz’s Fearless Forecast Cowboys, who are eager to get back into the playoff picture again by capturing the conference title. It all starts Saturday night on Louis Bonnette Field in Lake Charles.

His big night presented Head Coach Cornel Thompson with his first victory as the Mustangs head man. The modest Lindsey credited his offensive line. “I had gaping holes to run through and took advantage of them,” he said.

Fishing makes time fly For The Record

Johnny Green gave me a hand in securing my bow rope Friday morning and as I climbed out of the boat he graciously stated, “I especially enjoyed your last column, but I really don’t see how you find the time to do it each week.”

Time can occasionally pose a minor problem, but the bigger issue is subject matter. I feel reasonably certain that the consensus response to that statement would be, “You write a fishing column don’t you? What’s to figure out... write about fishing!”

I have written at least one fishing column virtually every week of the year for newspapers from Crowley, La. to Orange since 1973. I currently write this column each week, write a monthly column for two magazines and post extended fishing reports on my web site two to three times each week.

When I am not writing about fishing.... I am fishing. Whether it be guiding, scouting or occasionally just fishing with a friend, I spend an average of 20 days a month on the water regardless of conditions. Considering the fact that I reserve Sundays to attend church to pray for among a host of other things....good weather, four tide days and cheaper gas....I have just enough days left over to be a little boy again with my grandkids.

I would have it no differently and I can assure you there is no shortage of subject matter. The problem is selecting an aspect of fishing that interests anyone that takes the time to read this column. I occasionally have to step back and recognize that regardless of how much they may like fishing, not everyone is consumed with techniques or “How to” articles.

If the larger percentage of your fishing is done vicariously, reading about someone else’s experience can also be enjoyable. On the other hand, if you have every intention of winning the next Bassmaster Classic or Redfish Cup, you are always hoping for a new technique or approach that will give you an edge.

Somewhere in between those two groups resides the reader that gets to fish one or two Saturdays each month and would just like to fish with a little more confidence. That segment of the fishing population is the easiest to address as those folks basically enjoy every facet of fishing.

While a large portion of my life has been spent holding a fishing rod, I continue to pur-

sue my passion for two reasons. I love to teach people to fish and I am still totally consumed with the addictive anticipation of my next bite or topwater explosion!

I can’t even recall the year when I learned to tie my own shoe laces or ride a bike, but I remember the moment I caught my first fish to the second. As a matter of fact, I vividly remember missing my first bite.

I was four years old and fishing with an uncle in a farm pond north of Nacogdoches. In looking back, it was an improbable trip in that it was hardly a planned expedition. I asked about a saltwater rod in the back seat of his car and the next thing I knew, he was knocking a wasp nest off the side of the barn to get some larvae for bait.

After a long hike through the woods, he stomped down enough brush to access the small pond and lobbed the baited hook a short distance before handing me the pole. The huge popping cork bobbed one time and I excitedly sent it skyward. The next attempt resulted in my capturing the most prized three-inch bream in the world and I was forever hooked.

I was eventually persuaded to release the fish, but I kept that battered Styrofoam cork for a number of years, as well as the desire to experience the anticipation of one more bite for a lifetime. The one constant that I consistently see when fishing with folks of all ages is that there is still a lot of little boy or girl in each of them when their cork goes under water.

Hopefully, every fisherman or fisherwoman can find a little something of interest in this column each week. I welcome both phone calls and e-mails if there is some aspect of fishing that I have failed to cover at one time or another. I have managed to accrue a wealth of useless information that appeals only to fishermen over the years and I would be more than happy to share it with you.

The redfish are once again starting to stack up on the north end of the lake and in the river.

The live bait fishermen just had a heck of a weekend fishing the river and the ICW with live finger mullet on a Carolina rig. Once the southwest winds gave us a break the Louisiana shoreline and the Causeway reefs also yielded good catches.

The flounder bite continues to be good on both artificial and live bait. The river, Black’s Bayou, East Pass, and the bayous on the east side of the lake have been really hot on solid tide changes. The bayous leading into the game reserve are yielding good catches of both flounder and redfish, but you don’t have much longer to fish them as they close Oct. 15 .

Ten year old Alex took advantage of the flounder bite.

Orange First Church of the Nazarene celebrates 90 years Darla Daigle

For The Record

Officially started in June of 1921, Orange First Church of the Nazarene is looking forward to celebrating 90 years of ministering to the Orange community Oct. 7 through Oct. 9.

Local congregants will enjoy a bounty of revival services along with a variety of fellowship events where young and old, new and former can talk about the history and future of this nonagenarian church.

Along with the homecoming service with former pastor Bill Carr, pastor from 1981 –1988, Friday Oct. 7 at 7 p.m. there will also be a family reunion and picnic social Saturday during the day with service that evening and twice on Sunday. They will enjoy a meal between Sunday services and a special presentation Sunday evening of a drama by the playwright, Brad L. Smith.

The public is invited.

Starting with 23 charter members in 1921 meant the first church of the Nazarene to spring up in Orange was beginning with the grassroots of the denomination, which began in 1908 through various mergers of similar like-faith movements.

For Orange, the first of a series of revival meeting were held at the Orange County courthouse and then around town in meeting halls and schools until they negotiated for their first permanent facility. In 1922, the First Presbyterian Church building on the corner of Market and Polk became available and was purchased.

The members set to work remodeling the church for their use and worshipped there under various pastors surviving the lean years of the depression when the pastor walked to visit members because the

cost of gas became too much.

Though the times were lean for the whole country the church continued to grow and realize the need for yet another facility and place to congregate.

In 1940 moved into their second official location through the strong efforts of their members and several pastors. They did so, unlike many other entities of their day, 100 percent debt free.

Their 10th and Cherry Street location was a more central area of Orange and prepared them for the growth of the town and their church when World War II began in 1941. The church saw a large influx in membership with a booming port and ship building industry during the war effort. Though remodeled, this facility housed the congregation until 1989.

The current Pastor, K. Ray McDowell came to Orange shortly after Hurricane Ike’s fury had devastated most of Orange County. Though originally from Pasadena, Texas, this is the closest to his hometown he has pastured.

His flock runs approximately 180 these days, but is just as committed to holiness and the message of Jesus as those who began the building process 90 years ago.

“We sometimes can forget the impact we have on a community,” admits McDowell, who is the lead pastor.

Along with full-time worship and youth pastors, and a part-time children’s pastor the work of recovering after Ike has been a part of what they have tended to the past few years.

“Nine families lost their homes completely. Of course it affected everyone,” McDowell said. “Our church hosted the Fuller Center here for two years following Ike. During that time they restored, repaired or rebuilt 45 homes.”

This is not to say there have

not been on-going missions giving and local outreach in other areas. Though they give into a collective missions program run by the Church of the Nazarene, they are a part of helping a local boys home.

“We are active and aggressive in helping in that area, the need is so great,” McDowell said.

The boys attend church and youth services and are under the loving care of the youth pastor. When the boys age out of the system, the ministry does not stop as the whole congregation is involved in finding solutions to help.

“We strive and always have, to be a church that ministers to the community in the name of Jesus Christ,” McDowell smiles, “We came out of a tradition that believes the Lord doesn’t just save you but that he also changes you. Everything we do and teach is in support of that message.”

Because of this, their youth department, dubbed “Uno” stays busy throughout the week with as many as 45 teens receiving love and acceptance.

Shelly Pigg, the church secretary and wife of the youth pastor said it this way: “We are a constant. We have been here

Pastor K. Ray McDowell and the members of the Orange First Church of Nazarene will celebrate the 90th anniversary of the church from Oct. 7 to Oct. 9. RECORD PHOTO: Darla Daigle.

and will be here. The community can count on us. We change but God changes not.

Ninety years says we aren’t going anywhere.”

For a group of young boys

who have not known consistency and a community that has seen tragedy many times in past years, it is a great assurance to know the plan to remain is on their agenda.

With 90 years under their pews and 25 plus pastors that have helped to shape their present, the congregation looks forward to their up coming celebration.

Orange Christian Services prepares for annual golf tournament Darla Daigle

For The Record

As Orange Christian Services (OCS) is in their 32nd year of meeting the needs of others, they are preparing and hoping for a double portion of help in getting some of their needs met with the upcoming sixth annual Scramble Golf Tournament on Oct. 1.

There are churches giving, grants and foundation support but those alone have no way of meeting their need. Started with only three supporting churches 32 years ago, OCS has carried their mission to every part of Orange County.

“We currently have 73 volunteers in the building on a daily basis,” Jensen says, “ Our motto is, God’s love in Action.”

The organization makes its decisions through a board of directors. The members of this board are made up of the supporting 43 churches from ten varying denominations.

“Each church can have four members on the board if they choose, but we currently have a little under 100 on the board,” Jensen said. “We serve all of Orange County, not just

Orange Christian Services will host their sixth annual Scramble Golf Tournament on Oct. 1. While as many as 43 churches support OCS, the money from the golf tournament allows them to help more families with greater needs. Pictured are the sponsors for the golf tournament: (left to Right) David Jones and Dawn Stout with Gopher Industrial; Danielle Heil, Orange Christian Services Director of Finance; 4) Ross Smith President of Akrotex; 5) Judy K.

Orange itself.”

Receiving some funding through grants means they are watched very closely. It also means funds appropriated often have to be used for

only specific areas. One grant may only help them pay for the electric bill of a person when the need is deemed an ‘emergency.’

“This means someone who

needs long term monthly help because of a loss of job cannot receive those funds. In this case we have to try and help them from another funding source.”

This is where their annual golf tournament becomes helpful. The reserves acquired through this private fund raising can be used where the need is greatest.

“We have seen such an increase this year.” Jensen and several board members along with a few golf tournament sponsors discuss the level of need for 2011 compared to past years. People who have never had to ask for help have come in while, at the same time, some of their grants and government funds have gone down.

During the month of August 2010, 877 families came in and received food, clothes or financial help. During August 2011, OCS saw an increase to 1,078 families. At the same time the supplies and donations went down. When the need goes up and the donations, whether of food, clothing or cash, go down, the ability to provide what people really need goes down as well.

“The food is going off the selves as soon as it goes on,” shares Jensen, “plus we have had to quit stocking up on some items since the amount we personally spend on food has also gone up.”

Being the largest food bank in Orange County serving the most per capita has left them having to stretch further than they ever have. Getting the word out is critical.

Central Baptist to hold ‘Worth the Wait’ conference Staff Report

For The Record

Central Baptist Church of Buna, Texas will host an area wide one day “Worth the Wait” Conference on Saturday, Oct. 8. Conference registration will begin at 8:30 a.m., and the conference will begin at 9 a.m. All area teenagers from the seventh through the 12th grade are encouraged to attend. Each person attending will need a signed permission slip from their parents. Many area churches are planning on bringing large groups from their respective churches.

The main theme of the conference is “Know.” Three general sessions will be centered on this theme. Session one will be “Know God;” session two “Know Yourself,” and session three “Know the Situation.” Tim Ramsey will be leading each of these sessions. Tim is a well-known youth speaker who serves as associate pastor of Fellowship Church in Huntsville, Texas. Music for the conferences will be led by the Micah Tyler Band. Micah Begnaud and his band of Will Gallagher, Caleb Johnson, Daniel Begnaud and Haley Warren have led worship in many youth events for the last six years. They recently released their first CD called “Better.”

7B

Two “break out” sessions will occur in-between the general conference sessions. These sessions will be led by April Anderson, Jennifer Sigler, Cody Hogden, and Jared Hollier. Each of these sessions will address such issues as sexual pressure in today’s society and ‘what you don’t know can hurt you’ -- as well as how a teenager should handle technology and social networking in an appropriate way.

April Anderson is a former band director and has a ministry called “Armed and Virtuous.” This is a ministry dedicated to promoting abstinence until marriage. Jennifer Sigler is a nurse practitioner at Southeast Texas OB/GYN in Beaumont. She has great knowledge of the possible physical consequences of premarital sex. Cody Hogden is a former student minister who now leads a ministry for high school and college students in Bridge City called “The Refuge.” Jared Hollier is senior pastor at Peachtree Baptist Church in Jasper, Texas. His humor and charisma has made him a popular speaker at many youth events.

The conference will conclude at 3 p.m. The cost is free, and a hamburger lunch will be provided for each participant. If additional information is needed, call the Central Baptist Church office at 409-994-3641 or e-mail Central’s student minster, Scott Hawk at hawkminstry@gmail.com.

FOR AUTHORITY TO DEFER EXPENSES RELATED TO ITS PROPOSED TRANSITION TO MEMBERSHIP IN THE MIDWEST INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION SYSTEM OPERATOR On September 2, 2011, Entergy Texas, Inc. (“ETI” or “the Company”) filed with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (“PUCT”) its Application for Authority to Defer Expenses Related to Its Proposed Transition to Membership in the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator (“Application”), pursuant to Public Utility Regulatory Act (“PURA”) § 14.001, which grants the PUCT the power to regulate and supervise the business of a public utility, and PURA § 14.151, which grants the PUCT the power to prescribe the form and manner of a utility’s uniform accounts for the transaction of business.

In its Application, ETI estimates that it will incur approximately $12 million in O&M expenses in order to complete the transition to the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator, Inc. (“MISO”) Regional Transmission Organization (“RTO”) (hereafter, “transition expenses”).

The Company requests that it be permitted to defer all transition expenses ultimately required to complete the transition to the MISO RTO. ETI does

not seek review or final approval for recovery of any transition expenses in this proceeding; therefore, customers’ current rates will not be affected by approval of this Application.

Rather, ETI requests a Commission order that will allow these expenses to be preserved for future prudence review as a regulatory asset, consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and allowed to accrue carrying costs, at the overall rate of return authorized by the PUCT in ETI’s last base rate case (Docket No. 37744), until incorporated into Commissionapproved rates.

Upon Commission approval of ETI’s request

for deferred accounting, the Company will record the deferred expenses as a regulatory asset on the Company’s balance sheet for financial reporting purposes. Prior to recovery in rates, the deferred expenses will be subject to prudence review in a future ETI rate proceeding.

This future rate proceeding would also address amortization and recovery of the deferred expenses in rates.

The Commission will review ETI’s Application, establish an intervention date for interested persons, and determine whether ETI’s Application should be approved. The Commission’s proceeding to review ETI’s Application

has been assigned Docket No. 39741. The Commission has established an intervention date of October 3, 2011. Persons who wish to intervene in or comment upon these proceedings, or obtain further information, should contact the Public Utility Commission of Texas, P.O. Box 13326, Austin, Texas 78711-3326, or call the Commission’s Office of Consumer Protection at 512-936-7120 or 1-888782-8477.

Baptist Hospital schools athletes, coaches on HCM, a silent killer Mike Louviere For The Record

The tragic death last year of Reggie Garrett, who collapsed during a football game, brought community awareness of the health of student athletes to the forefront. One of the things that can cause a seemingly healthy athlete’s untimely death is Hypertrophic Cardiomyophaty, known as HCM. Memorial Hermann Baptist Hospital of Orange and the HCM Association (HCMA) are partnering to bring HCM to the attention of student athletes, their coaches and their families.

Jarrin Garret, the chief administrator of the hospital, M.E. Castellanos, M.D. a local cardiac specialist and Benjamin Lee who is sponsored by the HCMA are touring area schools with a presentation about HCM. They are providing information on the symptoms, testing and treatment of HCM. HCM is a condition that affects over 600,000 people in the U.S. It is the leading cause of sudden death in young people, including athletes. Each year 125 to 200 athletes will die, one third of them will die from HCM. Though no reason

is known for the disparity, one half of all those that die will be Afro-American. The symptoms of HCM mimic those of several other heart conditions.

“Family history is very important. A student may take one of our questionnaire forms home and have the family help them fill it out. It is important that the family members assist in filling out this form; they know history that the student alone may not know. If you answer ‘yes’ to any of the questions, go to your physician and consult with him or her and discuss the options for diagnosing HCM. Here in Orange we have all of the diagnostic equipment necessary to discover if you have HCM. There is no reason to go out of town,” said Dr. Castellanos. “In the old days, players played ‘tough’ they would play when they were hurt or sick and things would happen to them that would cause them to have problems later in life. You do not need to do that. If you are hurt or not feeling good, talk to your coaches and they will work with you to keep you healthy.”

“If you suspect that someone at school has had a cardiac incident, call for help fast. The school has the defibrillators

and people trained to use them and will call 911 and get the person to the hospital as soon as possible. Speed is important,” said Dr. Costellanos.

Athletic Director Randy Crouch told the assembly that LCM had two cardiac defibrillators at the school in case of cardiac arrest with anyone at the school.

With an attendance of 1200 at LCM and HCM occurring in one in 500, there is a possibility of two to three students having HCM and not being aware of their condition.

Benjamin Lee is one person who was fortunate enough to discover HCM in a routine health check. Lee went to the doctor for a checkup and only one thing was wrong. It was his heart. It was discovered that he had HCM. There is a genetic condition in Lee’s family that affects the heart muscle. Since that visit in 1997, he has had an implanted defibrillator.

“I am a pastor of a church in Beaumont; so far the defibrillator has not gone off. It would be bad if it went off when I was preaching,” said Lee with a smile. “I cannot stress to you how important it is to check for this condition. I did not feel bad; I had no way of knowing that I had this condition. It

could have killed me and it could kill you. I feel so strongly about trying to inform people about this that I am sponsored by the HCMA to do these presentations. Please take a form home and fill it out and go visit with your doctor.”

“Though Reggie Garrett did not die from HCM, he did have a condition that he did not know about. We at the hospital

want the public to be aware of conditions like these and also know that we have doctors like Dr. Costellanos that know about these conditions, especially HCM and are able to diagnose and treat them here in Orange. We have been to Vidor and after leaving here we will schedule meetings at the other area schools. HCMA is a nonprofit organization who pro-

vides the materials and speakers like Mr. Lee to go into communities and do presentations,” said Garrett.

When Dr. Costellanos asked Coach Crouch if he made the meeting mandatory since there was such a large attendance, Crouch replied, “I tried to.”

Golf From Page 6B “If things do not change, during the upcoming holiday season, there will be no special foods this year.”

Jensen and other members of the board, along with several sponsors for the Golf Tournament, know the need.

They also know the need has increased this year.

Father Tom Phelan, from St. Francis Catholic Church, said, “I have been here eight years now. We have seen a marked increase in the families that have to come to us for help.”

In spite of the obvious increase in need and the frustrations of trying to get funding and donations Jensen states, “But in the midst of it, it’s a joy.”

Philanthropist and President of Akrotex, one of the sponsors for the annual fund raiser puts its this way, “You will always have those who take advantage, but you have to go through the greedy to get to the needy.”

For OCS there is a process, an interview. They are determining not only need but how they can be of the most benefit.

“The best thing that could happen to OCS would be for

our doors to close for good, that would mean there was no need,” Jensen said simply, “but we know that will never happen, the Word of God tells us, “The poor will be with you always.”’

There will not soon be an end to the need of the citizens of Orange County. Because of this there are still needs that OCS must have met. Individuals can make a simple difference. An extra jar of peanut butter thrown in the grocery bag and dropped off, clothes the kids have out grown bagged and delivered, a $5.00 donation.

At present, the organization is looking for and hoping for more sponsors for their Golf Scramble. They have 22 teams who will tee off Oct. 1 at the Sunset Grove Country Club.

Sponsor signs will be at every tee. A whole sign cost is $100.

That $100 could be the difference in turkey or bologna for Thanksgiving.

To take part in becoming a sponsor, to donate items, give of your time or more information call 409-886-0938.

Orange Christian Services is located at 2518 West Park in Orange.

Orange City Council seeks suggestions on redistricting map Mike Louviere For The Record

The Orange City Council in a special called meeting Tuesday night heard a report from Alan Bojorquez of the Bojorquez Law Firm, PLLC, on draft plans for reapportionment of the City’s four singlemember council districts.

In the initial portion of the presentation, Bojorquez covered the large number of regulations of the Department of Justice that must be complied with in the reapportioning of the districts.

Bojorquez stated that in spite of the election this past May approving the implementation of the single member voting districts, the city needed to wait until the 2010 census information was received.

“It would not have been good business to devise a plan based on census numbers that were subject to change when the number for the 2010 census came out,” Borjorquez said. “Even though we have the map, Draft A, ready to review we are not formally recommending this map at this time.

Individual citizens and any

affected group have the right to make their own proposals based on the available demographics. We have the next meeting scheduled to be held Oct. 11. At that time any other maps may be presented to the council for approval.

“It is rare for a citizens group to present a different map, but it does happen. There is a deadline of Oct. 14 for submitting a map from an individual or a citizens group. While Oct. 14 is the deadline for submitting a map, we will be taking input on the situation for as long as we can, right up to the deadline. Hopefully if there is any input it will be a council member or a citizen suggesting modifications that will be workable. Some maps may not be workable. We suggest that everyone look closely at map Draft A. Hopefully it will be what you all want to see.”

Mayor Brown Claybar explained that there will be time for citizens to review map Draft A and to make comments on the map at the Oct. 11 meeting.

Ned Hawthorne questioned the deadline of Oct. 11, stating that he would like to see citizens allowed more time to

work up another proposal.

Bojorquez stated that interested parties have four more weeks to work on a proposal, that the information to build the demographics has been available since March.

“My office will take information from anyone by email, phone call, or personal visit if you are in the Austin area. We will try to work with anyone in any way. We need to have things done before the holidays.”

When asked about the significance of the holidays.

Borjorquez stated that the Texas Election Codes take effect each January. Candidates need to know the district they will run in and voters need to know the candidates in their district to vote for.

“I think the city chose wisely in not starting the process even though the information was available in March; they knew that there would be some new council members in May. It would have not been effective in starting the process before the new council was seated.”

Patty Austin asked for more time in order to get the demographics to another demogra-

pher. She also stated that they needed maps and she did not see maps available. Later while the council was in executive session, Borjorquez passed out copies of map Draft A. Borjorquez again stated that the census information has been available since March and that information that needed to come from the city has been available since last December.

“There is a timeline to getting approval from the Department of Justice for approval so that the city and he candidates can meet the Texas Election Code requirements. We want to allow as much time as possible, but we have to set a firm deadline and that deadline is Oct. 14.”

The next business of the council was to go into a closed executive session to deliberate Item 3(a) 1. The item was to deliberate with the city attorney pending or contemplated litigation as authorized by subjection 551 of the Government Code involving the Robert Arnold case.

Action taken on Item 3(a) 1 was to authorize City Attorney Jack Smith to seek mediation in the Arnold case.
