Bridge City Heritage Festival Saturday Mark Dunn

For The Record

The count down is on for the first Bridge City Heritage Festival to be held Saturday, Oct. 1, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on the Community Center grounds. The event will feature carnival rides, performances from area bands headlined by Bridge City’s own Britt Godwin, arcade games, food, contests, arts and crafts, bingo and a full slate of activities. “We’ve planned something for everyone no matter what their age,” said Paige Wil-

liams, chairwoman for the event, “Blue skies are in the forecast and it’s going to be a beautiful day for a festival.” The Bridge City Heritage Festival is being hosted by the Historical Museum of Bridge City, a nonprofit charitable organization formed in 2009 to help preserve local history and enhance tourism. Proceeds raised from the festival will go toward the future waterfront park on Cow Bayou in Bridge City. A big attraction is sure to be the dunking booth where festival goers will get the chance to sink some of their favorite

dignitaries. They include Bridge City Cardinal athletic director Cris Stump and coach Josh Smalley, Bridge WILLIAMS City Mayor Kirk Roccaforte, First Baptist Church Pastor Bob Boone and

Julie Kayla team manger for the World Series contenders Bridge City Junior League softball team. Also to be dunked is Rev Paul Zoch of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, Norman Gaspard, Jason Beuhler and others. A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held just prior to the start of the festival to com-

memorate the 70th Anniversary of the 1941 dedication of the Cow Bayou Swing Bridge. The ribbon cutting is scheduled for 9 a.m. at the bridge. The carnival will begin on Thursday, Sept. 29 and run throughout the festival. Thursday is ‘bargain night’ from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m. entry bracelets for unlimited rides

are $15 or just $10 with two nonperishable food items to be donated to the Bridge CityOrangefield Ministerial Alliance. Friday and Saturday carnival bracelets are $20.00. Craft and exhibit vendors will be within the Community Center with performances by BRIDGE CITY PAGE 2A

H Orangefield 2011 Homecoming Court H

Detective honored for prevention of internet crimes Nicole Gibbs

For The Record

Detective Richard Fergon with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department was recognized in Monday’s Commissioners’ Court meeting for all of his hard work to stop and catch internet predators that target children. The Department of Homeland Security-Homeland Security Investigations presented Fergon with a rarely given Partnerships for Public Safety Award. This national award recognizes people who have made significant contributions to the DSH-HSI’s child exploitation mission. Nathan Curry with the Department of Homeland Security presented Detective Fergon with the Award because Resident in Charge Agent Ed Silva was not able to make it to the Commissioners’ Court meeting on Monday. “We nominated Detective Fergon because he’s become vital contributor to Operation Safety Net, a multi-agency enforcement initiative sponsored by ICE-HSI office of the Resident in Charge in Beaumont,” Curry said. “In support of Operation Safety Net, Detective Fergon conducts online, undercover investigations, par-

ticipates in search warrants and conducts digital forensic examinations in support of HSI Child Exploitation Investigations, both in SAC Houston area of responsibility as well as nationwide.” Fergon has identified numerous child exploitation suspects and is relied upon in support by HSI in the execution of search warrants, most importantly providing digital forensic analysis. Forensic analysis is critical to the HSIBeaumont mission, where the office lacks the requisite personnel with such a unique and specialized background. Fergon has become a tremendous asset to HSI. In January 2010, the Orange County Sherriff’s Department began working with Houston’s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to help catch internet predators that target children. Hiring Freeze The Commissioners ordered a hiring freeze for Orange County earlier this month, which will require each department to come before the court to request hiring a new employee. This order did not include temporary help or part time workers. Temporary workers are hired in emergency situations or when an employee is out sick or on vacation. Part time help are considered permanent part time. The Commissioners decided that each department would be able to hire emergency temporary workers at any given time if there was a need for it. The department heads would then go before the court at the next scheduled Commissioners’ Meeting to get approval to keep the temporary worker hired on until they were no longer needed. An example of this would be for the Maintenance Department. When a custodian is out sick or on vacation, they need a temporary worker to fill in until the employee comes back to work. The Commissioners approved of Mark Wimberly, Maintenance Director, hiring a temporary worker on an asneeded basis. Other business The County decided to not implement a burn ban even though the western side of COUNTY BUSINESS PAGE 2A

Free clinic brings smiles to Bridge City

Staff Report

For The Record

Twenty dentists and over 100 volunteers flocked to Bridge City Middle School Saturday as part of the Smiles on Wheels (SOW) program. The free event brings a MASH like, one day dental clinic mission into rural areas. Saturday’s program provided 218 patients with $139,000 in free dental care. Some patients started lining up around midnight Friday at the chance to get needed extractions, fillings and cleanings. Bridge City’s SOW was sponsored by the Texas Dental Association Smiles Foundation, the Stark Foundation and the Houseman Charitable Trust. “Our goal is to relieve pain and restore smiles,” stated literature provided by Billy Callis. Patients signed in at the Middle School cafeteria and

provided a brief medical background, ensuring they were able to have procedures done. X-rays were taken as part of triage procedures. Extractions or fillings were then performed as needed. Partial plates and flippers were provided to some patients. Cleanings and post care supplies and information was given. “So much wonderful work was done for so many,” said Thelma Swearingen of Advanced Dental in Bridge City. “It seemed to be a huge undertaking for these volunteers, but everything seemed to be well organized and moved smoothly.” Since its inception in December 2008 the Texas Dental Association Smiles Foundation has treated more than 2,430 patients with over $1,363,344 in dental care. There will be a clinic in Jefferson County on Oct. 12 that is expected to treat 1,000 patients.

Angel Food Ministry shutting down Darla Daigle

For The Record

When she returned home from a week away, Cris Anderson found an unexpected and most unwelcomed email in her inbox. The head of a local Angel Food distribution ministry chartered through McDonald Memorial Baptist Church in Orange was in-

formed the national food distribution ministry was immediately shutting down giving no specific details or warning to their affiliates that depended on them for food acquisition and delivery. “It shocked me terribly. There was no warning. I had no clue. I read all emails I got from them when they came in but there was no hint of this,”

Cris said, who has, for the past four and a half years made the met the monthly quotas and fulfillment of orders required to be a part of the program. “I didn’t set up the program at our church, it was a Missions minister, but I have been running it,” Cris explains. The Angel Food Ministry has been a national food distribution organization that

was dedicated to bring wholesome, high quality foods to people at low cost. Running since 1994, there were no qualifying specifics required to get to participate in the program. All anyone was required to do was to pay from $40 to $50 and place their order. In return they would receive box ANGEL FOOD PAGE 2A

Bridge City Heritage Festival local dance studios, a tai kwon do exhibition, and style shows by area clothing retailers. There will also be an ongoing slide show of photographs from Bridge City yesteryear. Food booths will be outdoors. The festival spills over to the Knights of Columbus Hall where an antique and classic car show and judging will be held. Art, jewelry, sports memorabilia and collectibles, antiques and an acoustic guitar autographed by Lady Antebellum are just some of the items included in the silent auction. The festival will also have a caricature artist. A children’s area will include games, a coin toss, duck pond, ring toss, milk bottle baseball throw, Plinko and a cow patty throw. Tobby the Clown will also be entertaining the kids. A beer garden is being provided by Giglio Distributing Co. of Beaumont and will be near the band stand. Dancing will be under the pavilion. The organization has been planning the Bridge City Heritage Festival since April. Local citizens began coming together under the slo-

gan ‘Share The Vision’ to work on the event. “This is for a great cause,” said committee member Lyndell Hodgkinson. “Community working together--I love it,” she said. Live entertainment will begin at 10:00 a.m. with the Buddy Moss followed by Double Dawgs, St. Paul Praise Band, Hullagator Band and Coal Train. Britt Godwin and BB and Company will perform from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Godwin will make a presentation to music teacher Ann Bryant who recently retired from BCISD after 48 years. She taught Godwin music when he was a student there. To close out the festival Center Stage will perform from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. As proposed, the waterfront park on Cow Bayou will be ideal for numerous recreational and educational activities. It will include a large gazebo, playgrounds, a broad boardwalk along the bulkhead, period style lighting throughout the park and along the shoreline, covered picnic tables, walking trails, floral gardens and concessions. The park will have access for boaters. The park will also include the Gisela and

Angel Food Ministry (or boxes) of high quality foods that would have retailed at twice what they paid. Food stamps were even a pay option. In the beginning weeks of September, Angel Foods ceased its operations and let go all of its employees, without warning. Their website states, “Angel Food has not been immune from the same economic and market conditions.” They go on to explain that there is work being done to refund money paid for the September shipment. Outside this shroud of mystery are thousands of distribution points left with unfulfilled orders, but even more to the point, people who are expecting and needing the food. Locally, Cris worries about the core group of citizens she has built relationships with our the last four and a half years that were consistent purchasers in the program that depended on the quantity of food they got for their dollar. “Its really sad. I still want to call these people and check on them.” She explained that they were in the program as a ministry, not just a center to shove a box of food in the hands of someone and send them on their way. “We talked to them, got to know them and where they were in life. Got to know their stories,” she said. With the end of the program Cris isn’t sure about a lot of things. Why the program shut down, if it will restructure and reopen, why more people didn’t participate in the buying plan and what to do now are all unanswered questions. “This is who I have been for over four years. I am not sure what to do,” states Cris, who has developed a bond with some of the food recipients. She explained that there are those who are trying fill the gap, but it is in it infancy of planning. Through her relationships with other distributors, she has knowledge of and communication with a Houston individual that formerly worked with the Angel Food company and have

been trying to structure something similar for Houston and its close neighbors. In hindsight, Cris can see the demise of the institution didn’t come as quickly as it appears. She recalls seeing a variety of changes over four years that could have had a downsizing or overloading effect on the mission. Though the changes were most likely meant to better the overall plan, they, subsequently, caused the directors to overreach. “I think they got too much diversity in the product,” she said. She went on to explain that they started out with people being able to order one large box of food. The menu items bought would come in separate containers and the volunteers at distribution site would separate them into the individual’s order. The next change was the orders came in prefilled boxes ready to go except for the frozen items which would then be added to the box at distribution. By the end, the company offered specialty boxes, snack boxes, meat boxes, friut boxes and other items causing packaging and confusion. Deliver times changed, frozen foods were ‘less’ frozen sometime thawing. It cued a problem but nothing screamed of closing operations. “I am not sure if they will come back. Restructuring takes time and money. It always baffled me as to why more people didn’t buy the foods. There was no need to qualify but I think people thought they had to. The wealthiest man in town could have purchased as many boxes as he wanted and it was all great foods.” When asked what’s next, Cris isn’t sure. “I am kind of lost now. I hope they can come back. Our church loves outreach. All of this kind of has a trickle down effect. We earned a dollar on each box we sold and that money went toward our Christmas food drive. Two hundred or more people have come and gone from our program over the years but I worry about the few. There won’t be same kind of funds for the Christmas boxes this year.”

“Most of the counties [in our region] and cities have signed proclamations of support [urging the Texas Transportation Commission to provide funding to complete the remaining IH10 corridor in Orange County],” Crump said. “I’m leaving for Austin on Wednesday for the Transportation Commission to lobby for the $45 million to get that road done. Effectively there is no money set aside for that right now.” Crump explained that this is a huge issue because that highway is the last thing crossed traveling into Louisiana and the first thing crossed when coming into Texas. The Commissioners signed the resolution.

‘Las Sabinas’ nears ending Mike Louviere For The Record

The Orange County Historical Society is in danger of disbanding. The Society first formed in 1972, regrouped and reincorporated in 1974 and has been the major group in chronicling the history of Orange County. Their quarterly publication, Las Sabinas, is going to print for the last time with the winter edition this year. The society was formed with the focus being the preservation of the varied history of Orange County. The first edition of Las Sabinas, the society’s magazine, was published in January, 1975. The name “Las Sabinas” comes from the Spanish name, Sabinas, the cypress trees that live in the region. The editor of the first edition was Nina Harden. In her first editor’s note Harden wrote: “The colorful and exciting history of Orange County has not been recorded as it should have been – neither the good, nor the bad. Therefore it is the aim and dedication of the OCHS to recover, record by publication, and preserve our heritage.” Recording and publishing the history of Orange County has been done so faithfully and professionally over the past decades that Las Sabinas is now housed in the Library of Congress, the Regan State Library, and many other libraries, including of course the Orange Public Library. There are also many members who have faithfully preserved their individual copies.

In the Orange Public Library, there are bound and indexed editions that have been of great service over the years to many who have been researching genealogy. Over the years the magazine has published the family trees of many of the families that were the early settlers of Orange County. There have been many birth, marriage and death records published. Some are copies and some have been reproduced in more modern formats. Many of the veterans of wartime service have been interviewed and their stories told in print so that they may be preserved and remembered by generations to come. In the initial issue of Las Sabinas there were copies of the cattle brands of early settlers and also copies of the large number of timber brands by the early loggers. As logs were cut and made into rafts to be floated to the Orange mills, it was as important for the loggers to know how many logs they were shipping as it was for the rancher to know his cattle. The history of Riverside was recorded. The contributions of Orange shipyards to the war effort were given in several issues. Old time settlers and their stories, the history of many old Orange buildings, stories of range wars and murders, and the list of stories is very long and had an effect on everyone that ever lived in Orange. Las Sabinas has been remarkable in that so many of the contributors, and most editors, were not professional writers or journalists. They

have been “common folk” with a great interest in the history of Orange County and the desire to share the history with the general public. The Orange County Historical Society started with 26 charter members. The first president was Louis Dugas Jr. The term “mission statement” had not come into use in those days, but the purpose outlined by the members was to: “Maintain a living history of the city of Orange and the surrounding area.” Sadly, in the same way that waves take a toll on a beach, time has affected the OCHS. As the membership has gotten older, participation has fallen off. “Over the years our members have gotten older and either become unable to attend meetings or have died off, younger people have not stepped up to replace them,” said current president, Jerry Pennington. “We are in danger of having to disband the society. We have 230 subscribers to Las Sabinas, subscribers are also members, but we only have 25 to 30 that attend meetings. Of these there are only about three of four attendees in the 60’s age range. The rest are much older. Currently we only have one writer for Las Sabinas. “After Tommy Huff, who was president in 2006, died, I stepped up and became president. We had such a good organization that we did not want to see it die. “It has become almost impossible to keep printing Las Sabinas. On one trip to the state capitol, I went into the reading room and found a copy of Las Sabinas on a reading table. It is sad that we do not have people coming forth to be contributors and writers. It is very sad, but it appears that the last issue of 2011 will be the last issue. We hope that there will be someone who will want to help us keep the OCHS and Las Sabinas going.” The next meeting of the OCHS will be on Oct. 4, at 5:30 p.m. in the meeting room at the Orange Public Library. This is a meeting of the board, but is open to the general public. Pennington invites any one to attend and give input. On Nov. 1, the annual dinner meeting of the OCHS will be held at J.B.’s Barbeque. The guest speaker at this meeting will be Dan Hooks, recently retired Athletic Director and Head Football Coach at West Orange-Stark High School. Hooks will give a history and his reflections of his coaching career at WOS of over 30 years. Also at this meeting Pennington will give recommendations from the OCHS board regarding the future of the OCHS and Las Sabinas.

CRABBING DOWN BAILEY’S ROAD I took a trip down Bailey’s Road this weekend. Years ago I took the kids crabbing there and they still remember it today. That’s before the government decided you couldn’t let youngsters crab without a license. My thoughts turned to Richard Corder. A few years ago, he and John Dubose had visited about improvements that could be made, not only to Bailey Road, but other improvements to the area that the public could enjoy. I’m really impressed with the improvements Commissioner Dubose has been able to acquire. The Commissioner is still working on a fishing dock that families can enjoy. That was one thing he and Richard had talked about. Commissioner Dubose spent a lot of time working with the Corps of Engineers and Park and Wildlife personnel. The improvements have all been done with no cost to the citizens. A few years ago Richard had a stroke that put an end to his fishing but he will be glad that others will benefit from it. I hope Ruth has a chance to take him out there he’ll be impressed. Commissioner Dubose has been responsible for the improvements of other road projects also.

From the Creaux’s Nest HERITAGE FESTIVAL THIS WEEKEND, Y’ALL COME A commemorative ribbon cutting will be held in recognition of the 70th anniversary of the Swing Bridge to kick off the Bridge City Heritage Festival. The ribbon cutting will take place at 9 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 1, at the Cow Bayou Bridge. The gates will open for the festival on the Community Center grounds at 10 a.m. A carnival will begin on Thursday prior to the festival. The carnival rides will be unlimited on Saturday with the purchase of a bracelet. Headlining the live entertainment is country music star Britt Godwin. Bands will begin performing when the gates open with Cajun and country music, oldies, rock, religious and solo performances from area groups. The Festival will feature arts, crafts, food, games and contest, including coin toss, duck pond, ring toss, milk bottle baseball throw, plinko and cow patty throw. A beer garden is being provided by Giglio Distributing Co. of Beaumont and will be near the bandstand. Dancing will be in the pavilion. An antique car show and silent auction will also be held. There will be something for the entire family plus it will help a good cause, the future Cow Bayou Waterfront Park. The weather should be excellent. After enduring a couple of high 90-degree days, forecasters expect a cool front to arrive late Friday setting the stage for an idyllic fall weekend. Lows falling to mid-50’s and mid-80’s for highs for the first three days of October. Rain chances and strong thunderstorms are expected next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday associated with a weak stationary front. This year’s heat is 0.5 degrees warmer than any previous year on record. The drought is expected to carry through winter and into next spring. It will be a great time at the Festival. Make plans to come out and enjoy the festivities Saturday. I plan to be there all day, eating a lot and winning prizes. See you there. For now, I best get going. Hop on board and come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm. AND THAT’S THE WAY IT IS You may recall that a year or so ago I told you that at a meeting the local Tea Party vowed to challenge candidates for local offices. First they recruited office holders to switching to the Republican Party or face opposition. The selling point is that Obama will not be very popular in Orange County and the Tea Party will push for straight party voting in order to defeat local Democrats. Qualifications have nothing to do with it; they are running strictly against Party affiliations, qualified or not. I understand one of the top Tea Party recruiters is former Sheriff Mike White, a lifelong Democrat. Believe me, party affiliation has nothing whatsoever to do with local governing. Local office holders are not bound by the national or state platforms and have never been. For example, if the Republican national candidate wants to do away with Social Security, that has nothing to do with how a Republican would govern on a local basis. County officials vote only on local issues that effect the citizens and the well being of the county. They could care less what Washington does, Republican or Democrat. It is senseless to have opposition for the sake of opposition in local races. To make my point, we have many good officials serving as school board presidents, school board members, mayors and city councilpersons serving us well without any of us knowing if they vote Republican or Democrat in national or state elections. The most important thing, when electing county officials, is to choose good people, folks you know and believe will serve you well. In some cases, a candidate for local office will not support the national or state candidates. Straight party voting may not get the best candidates. Even if a person votes straight party, they can still vote for a candidate in the other party, so actually there is no such thing as straight party. Vote straight party for the national and state races but here at home you can vote for the best candidate. I’ll explain that later. In Texas, Democrats in local offices, outnumber Republicans nearly two to one. In most cases they are far more conservative than the national party. I know that is the case in Orange County. Levelheaded office holders, who by law, have to be on the ballot in order to serve. Being Republican, Democrat or anything else, has little to do with local governing. If Bill Clinton were at the top of the ticket none of this would be happening. It’s all about the guy at the top and that not right. Orange County is a well-run county in every department and Obama has nothing to do with it. It would be just as unfair to hang Rick Perry around a Republican candidate next. In the end, all this talk about straight Tea Party vote is hogwash. REMEMBERING TOM PERRY Last week, in this column, I wrote about Tom having to be moved to Tennessee because of his health. My column went to press at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, 30 minutes later, at 9 p.m., Tom passed away. Services were held Saturday at First Baptist Church in Bridge City. He was a longtime active member of the church. He and wife Jane have been pillars of the Bridge City community. Tom was well respected and an overflow crowd of friends attended his funeral. Jane will be making her home in Cleveland, Tennessee, where her son Tom Jr. lives. We will always remember the contributions this fine couple made to our community. Please see obituary.

One was doping, one, Sosa, put cork in his bat.)*****The Astros and the Rangers are both in the playoffs. Houston, with the Killer B’s and Randy Johnson, have a good shot at the World Series.

Best wishes for a long, happy, healthy life together. *****Last Thursday our Bobcat Insider, Mark Walles and wife Charlotte became grandparents again.

Rev. Leo Anderson always gives a short blessing, no dues, and no speeches just good fellowship. Everyone is invited to join in and meet with some of the county’s best folks. Great guys and lovely ladies. *****What next? No last supper for the condemned. Now there is talk about no chewing tobacco for baseball. Chewing is rooted in baseball history. Spitting images date back to the games roots. The term “Bullpen” was derived from Bull Durham tobacco. Players chewed to generate saliva on dusty infields. When gloves came into vogue, they spit in them to keep the leather soft. It also was the lubricant of choice for the sharp, breaking pitch known as the “Spitball,” that was banned in 1920. It may be a long shot but baseball commissioner Selig is pressing to ban the practice of smokeless tobacco in the major leagues like it is in the minors. Throughout major league baseball clubhouse and dugout tobacco spit has merged into shells of sunflower seeds and bubblegum wrappers. It’s going to be pretty hard to tell a player making $4 million a year that he can’t chew. The jury is out on this one. Let the playoffs begin. I’m pulling for the Rangers. CELEBRITY BIRTHDAYS Gwyneth Paltrow will be 39 on Sept. 28; Hilary Duff, 24 and Naomi Watts, 43.***Tom Sizemore will be 50 on Sept. 29.***Fran Drescher will be 54 on Sept. 30; Eric Stoltz, 50 and Jenna Elfman, 40.***Julie Andrews turn 76 on Oct. 1; Randy Quaid, 61 and Mark McGwire, 48.***Sting will be 60 on Oct. 2; Kelly Ripa, 41; Tiffany, 40 and Camilla Belle, 25.***Al Sharpton will be 57 on Oct. 3; Gwen Stefani, 42; India Arie, 36 and Ashlee Simpson, 27.***Susan Sarandon will be 65 on Oct. 4; Jon Secada, 50; Alicia Silverstone, 35 and Rachael Leigh Cook, 32. CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Clovis Babineaux bought hisself a new lawn mower, him. His little boy Jo-Jo wanted to know, him, if he could have de ol’ one to sell it. So Jo-Jo him, he put a sign on de ol’ mower and walk up and down de road hawking his sale, “It mow de lawn closeclose, yeah, and me, I don’t want no big price fo’ it, no.” Preacher Gaspard was riding by on his bicycle. He stop and aks Jo-Jo, “What you gonna do wit’ dat money from you mower, son?” Jo-Jo say, “Buy me a bicycle like dat, me.” De Rev. Gaspard, him, he had a couple of bicycle so he aks Jo-Jo if he will trade his mower for a bike. Jo-Jo try de bike out aroun’ de block an’ announce he will make de deal. But while Jo-Jo was makin’ de roun’ Brother Gaspard, him, he was pullin’ de rope on dat mower. No matta what he do, it wouldn’t start. He say, “Well, son, I can’t make dis mowr start up, me. How come it won’t work?” “Yeah, it work,” Jo-Jo tell him, “You jus’ gotta cuss it.” “No, I can’t do dat. I’m a preacher, plus it done been so long I fo’got how to cuss,” de Rev. said. “Well,” Jo-Jo advise him, “You jus’ keep pullin’ on dat rope, it’ll come back to you.” C’EST TOUT Well, I’ve come to the end one more time. Sometimes I amaze myself on how I manage to put a column together, starting with nothing. It may not be much of a column but I haven’t missed one in 40 years. *****To my Jewish friends, Happy Rosh Hashanah, the start of the Jewish New Year. Rosh Hashanah starts Sept. 28 at sunset and ends Sept. 30 at sunset. Yom Kippur, “Ten Days of Awe” starts sunset, Oct. 7, ending at nightfall, Oct. 8. *****I hear the Republicans are not happy with their field of candidates so they are trying to convince New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to run for president. So far he’s letting them beg. When I see him on television I think about the Sopranos, it must be his Nu-Jerssy accent. He wouldn’t be a very good example for practicing good health, the guy weighs 300 pounds. Forget it, he can’t get elected, he can barely breath. Oh well, I believe in the end they will pick Mitt Romney. He would be far in the lead if it weren’t for the extreme right, right-wingers. *****Gotta go, please read us cover to cover. Have a good week. Take care and God bless.

Healthy living could help fight dementia Staff Report

For The Record

Many people are apprehensive about getting older because of the fear of losing their faculties. Individuals may worry that dementia could rob them of precious memories and make daily living more difficult. Many factors can contribute to the onset of dementia, and recent research notes those factors include heart disease, strokes and other serious health conditions that affect the circulatory system. But other seemingly harmless conditions can play a role, too. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle could help seniors fend off dementia. The correlation between circulatory issues and brain function may be obvious, but researchers aren’t exactly sure why minor health infractions could contribute to senility. Some suggest that people with the burden of health problems

may not be able to successfully thwart deterioration of the brain that comes with dementias, including Alzheimer’s disease. The World Alzheimer Report states that more than 35 million people around the world are living with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia. These are largely brain-destroying illnesses that have no cure. But adults might be able to prevent or delay its onset. Placing a greater emphasis on overall health may help. According to Dr. Kenneth Rockwood, MD, a professor of geriatric medicine and neurology at Dalhousie University, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, who participated in the dementia study published in July 2011 in the journal Neurology, “the best thing people can do to stay physically healthy -- and thus maintain their brains, too -- is to exercise.” Other things that can be done include adopting a healthy, bal-

anced diet and keeping the brain active as much as possible. Here are ways to do just that. Seniors can participate in low-impact exercises that promote muscle strength and flexibility. Water exercises are very good because they don’t place strain on the joints. Stretching routines, like yoga or tai chi, are also effective. Exercise plans should be discussed with a health care provider prior to starting.

Work with a nutritionist to develop a healthy eating plan. A healthy diet is essential to keep many diseases at bay, including diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and even to help maintain proper digestion. Keep the brain active by engaging in puzzles, like crosswords or sudoku. Reading is a way to stimulate vocabulary and also keep the brain sharp. Interact with people on a daily basis and engage in conversation.

Beware foods that may not be vegetarian or vegan Staff Report

For The Record

Vegetarians and vegans face the challenge of finding foods that fit with their lifestyles and ideals. There are many foods that aren’t vegetarian- or vegan-friendly but might appear to be so. That’s because these foods contain certain ingredients that are largely animalbased products. Here are some ingredients used in common foods that can be troublesome. Rennet: Sometimes called rennin, this is an enzyme used in the making of cheese. It is often derived from mammal stomachs, such as the fourth stomach in cows. Rennet is used to coagulate milk products so that they turn into the curds that make many different cheeses. Some cheesemakers offer vegetarian alternatives that rely on vegetable or microbial enzymes. Rennet may not only be in cheese. It might be an ingredient in some chocolate candy bars as well. Gelatin: Gelatin is made from the structural protein called collagen that is found in many animals. Most gelatin is derived from the collagen in cow or pig bones, hooves, and collective tissues. Gelatin is obviously in gelatin desserts, but can also be found in puddings, whipped creams (to stabilize them), and marshmallows. Albumin: This is the protein component of egg whites. Albumin is added to thicken or add texture to foods. Many baked goods or icings contain albumin through the addition of cream of tartar, which is a powdered albumin product. Lard: Different foods are cooked in animal lard rather than vegetable oils. It’s best to check with a restaurant or the packaging of a processed product to see if a food was fried or cooked in lard. Isinglass: This is gelatin from the air bladder of certain freshwater fish. It can be used to clarify some alcoholic bev-

erages, including wine. Lanolin:This is a waxy substance made from sheep’s wool. It can be found in chewing gum, ointments and cosmetics. Tallow: Also known as oleic acid or oleinic acid, this substance is made from the solid fat of sheep and cattle separated from the membranous tissues. It can be used in margarines, soaps, ice creams, spice flavoring for baked goods, and other food products. Royal jelly: This is a substance formed by the glands of bees. It is now being touted as a very important natural health food for it’s antioxidant properties. Caesin: This is another milk protein that coagulates with the addition of rennet. It is used in many creams, cheeses and dairy products. Bone char: Sugar is bleached using a process of running it through bone char, sometimes refered to as natural carbon. You’ll have to read the packaging to determine if it’s in there. Cochineal, carminic acid or carmine: This is the pigment that makes red candies red. Practically anything colored red is made with this ingredient, which comes from the female Dactylopius coccus costa, or cochineal insect ... a type of beetle. L. Cysteine: This enzyme is used as a dough conditioner in many products, including doughnuts and bagels, particularly those from fast-food giants. This enzyme is made from the feathers of ducks and chickens. Chicken and beef fats: Even seemingly vegetarian and vegan foods can contain meat. That’s because beef and chicken fats and flavorings are used in everything from barbecue flavored potato chips to vegetable soups. When adhering to a vegetarian or vegan diet, men and women must monitor the ingredients they use to cook to ensure the foods they eat contain no animal-based products.

Healthy Fast Foods Staff Report

For The Record

Fast food is cheap, convenient, filling, and to many of us it tastes good. If you are eating out, a fast food restaurant is often the cheapest option, but unfortunately not a healthy one. Eating just one fast food meal can pack enough calories, sodium and fat for an entire day or more. Eating fast food on a regular basis can lead to a host of different health problems, both physical and psychological. Still, in a bad economy the quick-and-cheap temptation can often be hard to resist. As an informed customer,

A typical meal at a burger joint consists of a “sandwich”, some fries and a drink, which can quickly come in at over 1700 calories for something like Burger King’s Triple Whopper with a large fries and a 16 oz. soda. A better option would be a regular single patty burger, small fries, and water, which is about 500 calories. Alternatively you may enjoy a veggie burger smothered in grilled onion and mushrooms. Or if you want a large beef burger, then skip the fries and soda and have a side salad and water instead.

H WEST ORANGE-STARK over KIRBYVILLE—What a difference a year has made for the Wildcats, who were beating every opponent they faced at this time last year, including the Mustangs, and haven’t been able to scratch the win column yet this year. However, the Mustangs have only been able to win once in four tries, but should double their victory total after this game.

Battlin’ Bears on a roll, host Ozen BEAR INSIDER MIKE LOUVIERE FOR THE RECORD

The Battlin’ Bears came to Lumberton ready to play after a week off. It was a good that they were ready to battle, because the Raiders made the Bears work for their win. The Bears had the first possession of the night and in six plays Brilon Douglas made a dash across the goal line for the first touchdown of the night. The kick was good and he score was 7 – 0 in the first few minutes of the quarter. Taking the kick, the Raiders tried hard for eight plays to even the score, but had to punt in spite of some good plays gaining a few yards. Tyler Wright ran the ball to the 15 yard line and the Bears had the ball again. It only took three plays for Douglas

to make a long run of 85 yards to score the second Bear TD of the game, another good kick and the score was 14-0. For the next ten plays the Raiders tried to cross the goal line, but were fought hard by the Bear’s defense. In attempt to get on the scoreboard, Raider Dylan Mouton attempted a 27 yard field goal. The shot was wide to the right. The Bears took the ball into the second quarter, but after three plays had to punt in spite of a gain on a keeper by Douglas. Kyle Herfurth took the QB spot and attempted a pass to Tyler Wright, the pass was incomplete, and the Bears had to punt. The ball went deep and the Raiders took over on their 25 yard line. Red and Blue and Green and Gold fought hard for ten plays. The Raider offense put pressure on the Bear defense and managed to move the ball on the ground and in the air enough to get in

scoring position. Raider Clay Choate took the ball across the line for the first Raider score. The kick fizzled and the score was 14-6 with 5:59 remaining in the half. Bear Wright ran the kick back to the 42 yard line. On the first play, Douglas was taken down for a loss of one yard. The Raider defense pressured the Bear’s offense so hard that after four more plays the Bears had to punt. The Raiders possession ended after nine plays that saw some moves on the ground some passes and a couple of penalties. The clock ran out with no change in the score. In the opening minutes of the second quarter things looked rough for the Bears. Pushing hard the Raiders made enough slow gains that there had to be a measurement after the third and sixth play for a BATTLIN’ BEAR PAGE 5B

H LITTLE CYPRESS-MAURICEVILLE over BEAUMONT OZEN—The Panthers had to go double-overtime last week to finally defeat cross-town rival Beaumont Central for the first time in three years, while the Bears’ defense stopped a two-point conversion try by Lumberton to preserve a twopoint victory and remain undefeated after five games. The Battlin’ Bears have the home-field advantage in this one. H VIDOR over LUMBERTON—Both teams came out on the short end of close games last week and need a victory to remain prominent in the playoff picture. The Pirates will be playing in front of the friendly fans at home. H ORANGEFIELD over JASPER—This win will be categorized as a big upset if the Bobcats can pull it off. The visiting Bulldogs have lost a couple of really close games and want to post a big win before district play begins next week. The Bobcats have had two weeks to get ready for this contest. H CHESTER over ORANGE COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN—This is the first home game ever for the Lions as they take on a school that dropped down to six-man football after playing 11-man for years. Hopefully the Lions will show them how it’s done in Orange County and post a big upset.

BC winning streak earns week off CARDINAL INSIDER JOEY ENCALADE FOR THE RECORD

The Bridge City Cardinals took care of their last warm-up game, with a 37-19 win over the Stafford Spartans. The Cards head into the bye week with a 4-1 record. They get a much deserved week rest before they open district with their homecoming game against the Hardin-Jefferson Hawks Oct. 7. Friday, the first quarter ended with neither team crossing the goal line. The Cardinals, however, would strike first with 10:44 left in the second quarter on an eight yard run by Hunter Clark. Daniel Faulk added the point for 7-0. One minute and 44 seconds later, Cameron Dishon would pick off a Spartan pass and race 75 yards for a pick six. The PAT failed, upping the score to 13-0.

The Redbirds would make it 20-0, when Mitchel Hubbard hauled in a Matt Menard pass and raced 64 yards for a TD. Faulk’s PAT was good. Stafford would get on the board with a 55 yard drive, ending in a three yard TD run, bringing our score to 20-7 with 1:30 left in the half. With :20 second left in the half, Hubbard would strike again, hauling in an 11 yard pass from Menard for a touchdown and Faulk’s extra point brought our half time score to 27-7. The Cardinals took their opening drive of the second half to 67 yards, that ended off the foot of Faulk for a 23 yard field goal. With 8:27 left in the third, the Cardinals would have a 30-7 advantage. Hunter Wools spoiled the Spartans opening drive of the second half, by snatching the ball from the Spartans and advancing it to their 47 yard line. The

third quarter would end 30-7. Stafford got the ball back on downs and put together a 68 yard drive, capped off by a two yard touchdown run. The PAT was blocked cutting in to the Cardinal lead 30-13. After a fumble by the Cardinals, the Spartans went 37 yards on their drive, that ended in a one yard TD run. Their try for two was no good. With 6:25 left in the game, our score showed 30-19. After a failed onside kick, Hunter Clark took over, powering the ball down the middle with several runs, taking a lot of time off the clock. After a late hit on Menard, advancing the ball to the five, Clark pounded his way in for a TD and Faulk’s point brought our score to 3719. The late hit of Menard, fired our defense up, especially Malachi Busby. The Spartans’ last drive started at the CARDINALS PAGE 3B

Bad second halves shorten list of unbeaten teams KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

At least four football teams that came into last weekend’s action boasting unblemished perfect records left the stadiums with a hickey in their loss columns after suffering through a miserable second half of play. The four teams we are making reference to are Texas A&M on Saturday, and the Houston Texans, New York Jets and New England Patriots of the National Football League on Sunday. The Texans traveled down Interstate 10 to the Crescent City full of optimism after looking great in their first two games of the young 2011 NFL season. Houston took the opening kickoff and marched 87 yards to paydirt before the National Anthem quit echoing in the spacious Louisiana Superdome. The Texans marched into the red zone three more times in the first half, but unfortunately had to settle for field goals after each drive, building up a nifty 16-7 lead. The Saints added a field goal to reduce the deficit to 16-10 at the half. The offensive charge continued into the third period as Houston’s lead swelled to 26-17 until the Saints’ defense caused backto-back three-and outs and quarterback Drew Brees took over the game and riddled new coordinator Wade Phillips’ defense for 23 fourth period points. No Texans team in franchise history EVER surrendered that many points in ANY period. Before the Texans knew what happened, they were playing catch-up in the closing minutes like they had done 10 times last season and ended up losing their first game of the season 40-33, which would have been worse if Brees chose not to take a knee in the shadow of the Texans goal line in the final two minutes. In another Sunday afternoon game the undefeated New England Patriots were well on the way to their third straight victory, leading the also undefeated Buffalo Bills 21-0 midway through the second period. To the delight of the hometown fans, the Bills offense woke up and put 10 points on the scoreboard before halftime. The Patriots’ defense surrendered 24 more points to the charging Bills, with the final three points coming in the form of a Rian Lindell 28-yard field goal as time expired, giving Buffalo a stunning 34-31 come-from-behind upset victory and ending the Bills’ 15-game losing streak against New England that dated back to 2003. The Oakland Raiders penetrated Head Coach Rex Ryan’s sophisticated New York Jets’ defense for 17 points in the second

half to break a 17-17 tie at halftime and handed the Jets their first loss of the season 34-24. The Raiders rallied behind the 171 rushing yards and two touchdowns by Darren McFadden to overpower the Jets, avenging the 38-0 loss handed them by the Jets last year in Oakland. On the other side of the coin, the surprisingly undefeated Detroit Lions overcame the Minnesota Vikings’ 20-0 halftime lead and sent the 23-23 game into overtime where Jason Hanson booted a 32-yard field goal for a 26-23 Detroit victory. It was the third week in a row that Minnesota (0-3) lost a large halftime lead and the win upped the Lions record to 3-0 for the first time since 1980. The win also snapped Detroit’s 13-game losing streak in the Metrodome, dating back to 1997. The Texas Aggies, who haven’t defeated Oklahoma State in the last four years, looked as if the drought was over as they pummeled the Cowboys unmercifully in the first half, jumping off to a 20-3 halftime lead by smashing through the Cowboys’ defense for 301 yards, surrendering only 185 yards and committing zero turnovers. From all indications the Aggies really looked like a team that needed to be playing in a bigger and better conference. Their request to join the Southeastern Conference appeared quite legitimate. Apparently Oklahoma State didn’t want to lose an automatic win and decided to give the eighth-ranked Aggies a proper sendoff. So in the second half the Cowboys recalled the 2010 game in which they trailed by 14 points, rallied and came back with a three-point victory. Saturday, before the fourth-largest crowd (87,358) in Kyle Field history, the No. 7-ranked OSU took advantage of four secondhalf Aggie turnovers, piled up 27 unanswered points and 299 yards and jumped out to a 30-20 lead with 6:24 left in the game. It was as if A&M was an entirely different team coming out

of the dressing room after the intermission—committing four turnovers, three personal fouls, a pass interference penalty, a defensive off-sides infraction and a false start. OSU quarterback Brandon Weeden completed 47 of 60 passes for a school-record 438 yards and two touchdowns. The Cowboys remained undefeated at 4-0 while the Aggies dropped to 2-1 with the toughest part of their schedule still ahead of them. Texas A&M reportedly will become part of the 13-school SEC in July 2012. Until then the Aggies will have to be part of the “rum-dum” Big 12. KWICKIES…West Orange-Stark’s new head coach Cornel Thompson was very unhappy and very critical of his Mustangs’ performance in Saturday night’s 14-6 loss to Giddings. He was upset over the fact his Mustangs penetrated the red zone six times and came away with only two field goals. Giddings’ two scoring drives comprised most of the 146 total yards the Mustangs’ defense surrendered while WO-S rolled up more than 300 yards of offense but couldn’t get into the end zone. There was a difference of opinion between the two major college football polls this week as the Associated Press rewarded LSU for its three wins against ranked teams (Oregon, Mississippi State and West Virginia) away from Baton Rouge and moved the Bayou Bengals to No. 1, ahead of Oklahoma, which defeated Missouri 38-28 in a Big 12 home game. But in the USA Today Top 25 Poll, the Sooners retained their No. 1 position by 30 points over LSU. In the AP Poll Alabama and Boise State remained No. 3 and No. 4, respectively, Oklahoma State jumped two notches to No. 5, Stanford and Wisconsin each dropped one spot to No. 6 and No. 7, respectively, Nebraska and Oregon each moved up one place to No. 8 and No. 9 and South Carolina jumped two spots to No. 10. Teams from the Lone Star State in the Top 25 include No. 14 Texas A&M, No. 15 Baylor, No. 17 Texas and No. 20 TCU. Orange’s Earl Thomas would have had his first interception of the 2011 NFL season Sunday if it wasn’t for a penalty flag that was thrown on the play. But the Seattle Seahawks’ defense played well enough for the team to post their first victory of the season 13-10 over the Arizona Cardinals. Earl moved up to second on the team with 18 tackles, including 14 solo stops. Bill Haas won the PGA Tour Championship on the third extra hole of sudden death last weekend over Hunter Mahan to pocket the $1,440,000 winner’s check. The victory also earned Haas the $10 million bonus for capturing the FedEx Cup, joining a distinguished list of FedEx Cup winners that includes Tiger Woods (twice), Vijay Singh and Jim Furyk. JUST BETWEEN US…Several local football fans have been asking about the whereabouts of former West Orange-Stark and University of Texas standout defensive back Kenneth “Deon” Beasley. We’re happy to report that Deon is doing what he does best—starting in the defensive secondary of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the Canadian Football League. He became a starting defensive back during his rookie season last year and his best game came Oct. 11, 2010 when he picked off a pass in doubleovertime and returned it 72 yards for a touchdown to seal the Bombers’ impressive 21-point comeback victory. This year Beasley has helped the Blue Bombers to a 9-3 record, which is good for first place in the CFL East Division.

Rick Perry and the Great Ponzi Scheme KENT CONWELL LIGHTER SIDE OF LIFE FOR THE RECORD

Seems like some folks are upset about Rick Perry’s assertion that Social Security is a Ponzi Scheme. Now, I don’t know if I’m for Perry or not. I don’t trust him. He possesses many of the attributes of the consummate politician, both good or bad. There are only a few politicians I trust, and most of them are local folks. Even among

the locals, there are those who put their own agendas above those of the public. So, when I say, let’s talk about his remarks, I’m not supporting him, although I believe if you look at his assertion with an open mind, you’ll be able to see his point. I’m not trying to change your mind. Most of you are too wise for that, but I just want to explain his point-ofview. First, just what is a Ponzi Scheme? It is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to investors, not from actual profits earned, but from money paid by subsequent investors. The scheme draws new investors by offering returns other companies can’t guarantee. These returns are short term and offer abnormal and consistent returns. When other investors see that old Joe Moneybags’ investment with ‘Pie in the Sky Mutuals’ is drawing 20 percent, they fall all over their own greed to get in on the action. The only way for the scheme to continue is to entice new investors--continually--as in day after day; to feed on itself. Most of you have heard of Bernie Madoff who scored billions off a long running Ponzi Scheme. A la Perry, let’s compare his plan to our Social Security system, shall we?

Bernie: took money from investors with the promise that the money will be invested and made available to them later. Social Security: Takes money from wage earners with the promise that the money will be invested in a ‘Trust Fund’ and made available later. Bernie: Instead of investing the money, old Bernie spent it on nice homes and yachts. Social Security: After depositing money in a ‘Trust Fund’, politicians borrowed from it to supplant monies for the General Revenue Fund, using it for general spending and vote buying. Bernie: When the time came to pay the investors back, Bernie simply used funds from new investors to pay the older investors. Social Security: When benefits for the older investors became due, politicians paid the old codgers with money taken from younger and newer wage earners. Bernie: When Bernie’s scheme was discovered, youknow-what hit the fan. New investors scattered like quail. Money dried up. Social Security: When Social Security runs out of money, politicians try to force taxpayers to send them more or they cancel or pare down benefits to all those who paid into it. Now, there you have it. That’s the point Perry is trying

to make. If you can see a difference in a Ponzi Scheme and Social Security, I’d appreciate it if you let me know. I’ll even print your response (as long as it is printable). Now the old boy in my high school chat group who put me on to this comparison added one more comparison. I think it is interesting enough to repeat here. Today, Bernie Madoff is in jail. Today, politicians remain in Washington with fat medical and retirement benefits or have retired to bask in the fact they are rich as Croesus and have federal buildings and libraries named after them. Does Madoff deserve prison? Definitely! His actions were deliberate, bringing about devastating ruin to hundreds of lives. What about the politicians who’ve taken from Social Security? I don’t know about you, but I see a double standard here that has no place in our country. What to do about it? Term limits. House members-three terms; Senate-two terms. A keenly perceptive activist in the intellectual life of our country, Milton Friedman, once remarked. “If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in five years, there would be a shortage of sand.” Ain’t it the truth.

Archery season set to open, teal hunters end season with a bang OUTDOORS-WEEKLY CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE

For The Record

This Saturday marks the annual start to deer season in the great state of Texas as bow hunters from all over will hit the field in search of that deer in their dreams. This season will certainly present new challenges and offer up some great opportunities courtesy of the incredible drought that has held Texas in it’s grip for months now. The lack of available water has all but destroyed seasonal patterns in many areas and produced new ones for much of the state. The well below average rainfall has really hurt the acorn crop and has forced many animals to become much more dependant on supplemental food sources. The average corn or protein feeder looks like

a beacon in the night to many deer as they hunt for food in the driest parts of the state. The increased demand on the feeders has made it much easier to pattern deer since the food sources like acorns and other natural feed have become a little more scarce than normal. Along with being able to pattern the deer many archers I have talked to have been just absolutely covered up with wild hogs. Look for plenty of pork to hit the ground this weekend as their populations have gone through the roof. While archers everywhere are set to get their season underway local teal hunters were brought theirs to a close this past weekend. This first chapter in the waterfowl season has been a good one to say the least, it could not have been scripted any better. Ample rains at just the right time coupled with cool weather made for outstanding shooting all over the

coastal marshes and river bottoms. Outfitters from our area reported solid shoots on almost a daily basis, especially those with rice fields. Several outfitters who hunt in the Winnie and Anahuac areas, called in to report some terrific hunting over the last couple of days of the season. Bink Grimes who runs Matagorda Sunrise lodge echoed the same report, “We shot limits of good blue winged teal each morning, we were done in less than an hour most mornings and sometimes it didn’t take more than 20 minutes after shooting time. All the marshes we hunt were in good shape and the birds were in good shape as well.” Hopefully big duck season will be just as good. A little farther south in the El Campo, Eagle Lake, and Garwood region most hunters added another top notch Teal season to their resume but it cost a pretty penny to make it happen. Unlike our part of the world which benefit-

It’s all about catching more fish Battlin’ Bears COLBURN-FISHING CAPT. DICKIE COLBURN

For The Record

Most of the folks that passed through the doors at Daley’s Fish N Hunt Saturday headed straight to the Laguna rod rack. Sarge Upchurch arrived earlier than expected with an even more expanded choice of rods than anticipated and he found himself talking shop immediately. Keith Daley made the decision to handle the elite line-up of rods, first time in-store warranty claims included, and there was lots of oohing and aahing as eager anglers held one in their hands for the first time. It also appeared early on that a 15 percent off sale on a Yeti cooler had drawn the interest of yet another group of morning shoppers. I can all but guarantee that anyone that left with both a new Yeti and a new Laguna rod in tow did not tell their wife where they had been all morning. They saved some money, but they still left a whole bunch at the Port Acres store! Having already logged some fishing time with two of Laguna’s rods, I was able to help Sarge field questions regarding performance issues, but I spent most of the day discussing lures and techniques. I very rarely make a trip over there that I don’t learn something new and Saturday was no exception. A large portion of the information is interesting, but of limited use since I spend very little time fishing south of the Causeway. Just as you would expect, most of the mid-county and Port Acres fishermen take advantage of their close proximity to the ship channel and jetties and they know the area well. Once again, however, it was a short list of things that I take for granted that occupied most of our conversations. We cut up fifty yards of line one foot at a time just tying knots and questioning both their usefulness and strength. Why use a loop knot when fishing a jig? What is the best knot for joining a monofilament leader to braid? Why even use a leader with braid? The longest and most interesting discussion, however, centered on jig heads and plastic tails. It all started with an angler that balked when his partner advised him to buy a particular plastic tail that cost nearly twice as much as any other comparable tail. By the time the discussion had ended, however, he had already bought six packs in three different colors and left! Keith Daley insisted they open a pack and thread one on a jig head. That was all it took to seal the deal. While the cost of each tail was

nearly a dollar apiece as opposed to fifty to sixty cents apiece for most quality tails, the tail in question had proven time and again that it would easily catch ten times more fish than any of the others before selfdestructing. Because I have several great sponsors I do not have to be as concerned with the durability factor. My first obligation, however, is to my clients and I am always going to opt for any tail that affords them the best chance to catch fish. There are plastics that range from very soft to something more akin to vulcanized rubber and everything in between. I believe that the “somewhere in between” tail is a good choice as long as you have confidence in the color and its catchability. As far as jig heads are concerned, I will always fish with the lightest head that I can get away with. The longer the lure hovers above or in front of the fish as it sinks to the bottom, the better your chances of inducing a strike. I carry 1/16th, 1/8th, 1 ⁄4, and 3/8th oz. heads. As a rule, strength of tide is the determining factor as to which head I use. Perhaps an even more important consideration, one that can extend the life of even the softer plastics, is the shape of the keeper on the shank of the hook. Screw lock heads dominated the scene for quite a while, but that is not the case anymore. I still use them from time to time, but the heads with tapered lead ridges, for lack of a better description, secure most plastics much better. Assassin includes this type head in their lineup, Yellow Mouth makes only that style jig and the TTF Shiney Hiney jig head has a ringed shank as well. While the size of the hook is generally matched to the weight of the jig, you will get the ultimate performance out of your plastics by opting for a jig with a hook that best matches the length of your plastic tail. While sproat size, 2/0, 3/0 and so forth, is important, the length of the shank of the hook is equally critical. If it is too long it can reduce the action of a four-inch tail to that of a plastic stick. Regardless of the length of the tail, I will always err in favor of the shorter shanked hook. Over the course of the day I even learned at least three new reasons why mullet jump all the time and one of the explanations even had some merit. “If the rest of your buddies are being eaten by a school of redfish...jumping out of the water is possibly your last option! At the end of the day, I managed to resist the savings on the Yeti cooler, but another Laguna Wader II found its way into the back seat of my truck.

first down. The ball was only about an inch short and the Raiders pushed it over on the next play. Raider QB Jordan Garanto attempted a pass, but was intercepted by Bear Preston Wright on the Raider 47. Wright ran the ball out to the 38 with 1:07 left in the third quarter. In the opening minutes of the fourth quarter, Alex Sezar scored for the Bears after only three plays making the score 21-6 after the good PAT and leaving 8:51 on the clock. For the next nine plays the Raiders pressured the Bears hard. The Raiders gained some ground in spite of the hard playing Bear defense. It took ten plays, but finally the Raiders got on the board with a TD and a PAT to make the score 21-12. No one knew it at the time, but the fourth quarter would be the hardest of the game. The Raiders would fight hard trying to even the score, then pull ahead and win. The Bears would fight just as hard to hang onto their lead and win the game. Douglas of the Bears opened the fourth quarter with an outstanding run to score. The kick was blocked and the score was 27-12.

Cardinals

ted from scattered rainfall and a tropical storm many of these hunters had to pump water to their fields. Water prices during the current drought were staggering and in some cases not even available as the local authorities put a ban on pumping water for anything but residential use. A few farmers who had their own wells were able to fill enough ponds so the birds had a place to go and you can only imagine how good those areas were. Concentrating that many birds into fewer places resulted in just some world class hunting for those fortunate enough to be there. All eyes turn now toward the opening of the full fledged duck an goose season opener on Nov 5th, with a little luck this may be another one to remember for some time to come. In the mean time local waterfowlers will have some time to get ready, maybe the fishing will hold them over until they can get in the marsh again. We’ll see.

The Raiders took the ball and took off. In five plays Raider Chase Higgins carried the ball across the goal. A good kick made the score 2719 with 10:40 on the clock. Sezar ran the kick back to the 34 yard line. On the fourth play Raider Granto picked off a Douglas pass to give the raiders possession. The Raiders would keep the ball for 17 plays. Each team pressured the other hard. With 34 seconds on the clock the Raiders scored, bringing the score to 27-25. The Raiders needed to run the ball and make the two point play to tie the score. The pressure was on the Bears. When play resumed after three time outs being called, the play was going to the wide right when Bear Sean Shehane came out of nowhere and buried the Red and Blue carrier under his Green and Gold jersey. The Bears had the ball for the final seconds and let the clock run out. The Bears are 1-0 in district and 4-0 for the season. The Battlin’ Bears will host the Ozen Panthers in Bear country on Sept. 30. Ozen won their district opener against Central by a score of 31-24.

44 yard line. Two big sacs by Busby and a third down tackle pushed the ball back 20 yards, forcing the Stafford Spartans to punt. Bridge City took over and ran the clock out, coming away with a 37-19 victory. The Cardinals had 241 yards rushing, led by Hunter Clark with 110 yards on 14 carries and also had 14 yards receiving on one catch. Menard had 109 yards on 14 carries and also pass for 192 yards on 18 attempts. Ashton Hunter had 21 yards on four carries and Tyler Roberts had three yards on two car-

ries. The Cardinals had 192 yards receiving led by Hubbard with 97 yards on four catches. Dishon had 43 yards on two catches and Roberts had 38 yards on two catches. The road to the playoffs starts at home in two weeks, at 7 p.m. Come on out and support our Cardinals. The Stafford Spartans look much improved from last year giving the Cardinals a nice test, but it was a no contest for our cheerleaders, band and how about those STRUTTERS?

Garden Club holds first meeting of year, Claybar speaks Special to The Record

Ivy League Garden Club

The first meeting of the year of the Ivy League Garden Club was held in fine style Thursday morning, Sept. 22. The Ivy League Garden Club held its first meeting of the year this past Thursday, inside the beautiful Brown Center, which was arranged by hostess Betty Sheridan. Co-hostesses were Linda

Claybar, Martha Oliver and Gwen Poutra. The event featured Mayor Brown Claybar of Orange as guest speaker, who addressed the club members on the city’s status of its downtown development project and the reasoning behind its creation. The Ivy League Garden Club was chartered in 1994 with Martha Oliver as the first president. The purpose of the group is to promote the beautification of its surround-

ings and to gain knowledge about plants, flowers, landscaping and the proper care. Through the years, the group has been involved in many projects. Some of those projects include planting wildflowers along the Interstate, landscaping particular locations in the City of Orange, erecting a marker at the Texas Travel Bureau and participating in Arbor Day celebrations. Currently, some members

of the Ivy League Garden Club spend time tending a garden plot at Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center in Orange. Club officers are Mary Jean Prather, president; Sue Harris, vice president; Ardine Obenhaus, secretary; and Jackie Dugas, treasurer.

Banken announces Pct. 3 candidacy

Staff Report

For The Record

John Banken has announced his candidacy for Pct. 3 County Commissioner and will be running in the March 2012 Republican Primary. “[This] is the party that best reflects the values in which I believe,” Banken said. As concerns of the economy deepen and state and federal government place more pressure on local government, it becomes more important that local elected officials bring experience to the office they seek and be available to work full time in their elected position. He began his political career as a City Councilman where he served for six years before serving Bridge City as Mayor for nine years. He also served as President of the Southeast Texas Regional Planning Commission. John Banken is a 45 year resident of Orange County and serves as a Deacon for the Fellowship Baptist Church. He looks forward to serving on the Commissioner’s Court and working for the residents of Precinct 3 and working with the citizens and elected officials of the surrounding precincts and Southeast Texas counties. This is the third time Banken has ran for the Precinct 3 seat. He ran against Don Cole and John Dubose as a democrat.

Reusing: A great and easy way to go green Chewing gum as an art medium? Beer as a hair serum? Surprisingly, these items and many more are reused every day, playing a host of roles they were never intended for. Before items are relegated to the trash, individuals can think about ways these same items can be reused and reincarnated into several other purposes. Today’s younger generations have grown up in a time when disposable items are de rigueur. But long before disposable items became the norm, men, women and children were forced to make due with items that were long past their expiration dates, even reusing them in new ways. While this practice might have been replaced by the convenience of disposable items, eco-conscious citizens can still embrace this old and environmentally friendly trend. * Find out if it can be fixed. An appliance on the fritz or a toy that has lost a part might not need to be discarded. Before finding the trash can, find out if the item can be fixed. It may take a short inquiry to the company or the work of a handyman to repair a broken item and set it right again, but such efforts are worth it. * Polish pots. With thorough cooking and oxidation, copper pots and even steel ones can begin to look dingy. Regular, old beer can be used as a polishing agent to get them to sparkle. Because of beer’s subtle acidity, it can help boost

shine without staining the metal like a higheracidity liquid would. * Embrace newspapers’ versatility. There are millions of newspapers printed and used worldwide. The average household may have one or more newspapers delivered each week, and newsprint is also used for junk mail and advertisements. While recycling does help cut down on newspapers, there are other ways to put old papers to good use. Line the bottom of refrigerator drawers with the paper to catch spills and eliminate odors. Use shredded paper as kitty litter or in bird cages. Wrap unripe fruit in newsprint to help it ripen faster. You can also place newspaper at the bottom of a planting bed before you cover it with soil or mulch to keep

before you actually make a purchase. There are social networking sites that enable people to connect with others to share and swap things they have. One may have a bounty of backyard produce to share while another may have a collection of paperback books ready to be read. Clothing, baby items, toys, and the like can easily be shared or given away. One of the more popular neighborhood activities these days is to host a clothing swap party, where participants bring a set number of clothing items they no longer use (that are in good condition) and everyone swaps things to refresh their wardrobes at no cost. * Recycle items to protect gadgets. Turn a child’s empty juice box into a case for your smartphone. Knit or sew a cover for your new tablet or e-reader with scraps of fabric or yarn. Remember those worn jeans from before? Make a pouch to store your GPS device so it can be moved from car to car. When individuals think about the items they have around the house and how they can be repurposed, there is less likelihood those spent items will end up in the garbage. If swapping items seems like the ideal concept for you, visit http://swapforgood.org/ and find out how you can get started swapping your used items for something else.

away weeds. * Give old jeans a new life. It’s hard to part with that favorite pair of jeans sometimes. Whether they’re stained or simply don’t fit anymore, you can turn the denim into something new. Doll clothes are easily crafted from scraps of denim. Or, why not turn pieces of denim into a durable, reusable shopping bag to take to stores? A patchwork quilt made of squares of denim can be used as a picnic blanket or beach throw in a pinch. Jeans can also be donated so the less fortunate can benefit from the clothing. * Swap and share. Before buying anything, find out if others might lend you things that you need. You may not need a specialized power tool for more than a day or so, and borrowing items can allow you to do a test drive of sorts
