City officials and representatives for Robert Arnold are expecting to hear the results of the hearing on Wednesday by letter from the visiting Judge Elizabeth Ray. During a hearing Monday morning, in the 260th District courtroom, the judge heard arguments from both sides on why or why not the city should be granted an appeal. If they were to win the appeal, both sides would have to ”start from square one” and undergo an arbitration hearing once more. However, if the city should lose, the decision would stand and Arnold would retain his job at the Or-

ange Police Department.

There is a possibility, the City could appeal the decision to a higher court.

ARNOLD Arnold was discharged from his job at OPD following an incident in July 2010 when he shot and killed 28-year-old James Whitehead of West Orange.

Whitehead had gone to the O’Reilly Auto Parts store on 16th Street to return a part for a pickup truck he was attempting to repair. However, the clerk refused to allow the return on the part. As a result, Whitehead became angry and began cursing. An

employee of the store call 9-11 for assistance in the matter.

Arnold who was off duty and also a customer at the store reportedly told White-

head to calm down which caused him to direct his anger at the officer by calling him racial slurs. Arnold walked out the door with Whitehead

behind him.

Bayou Bowl week kicks-off Monday

Mark Dunn

For The Record

Chili is on the menu when Cardinals and Bobcats dine together for the Bayou Bowl Scholarship Banquet hosted by the Bridge City Chamber of Commerce, Monday, Nov. 5.

The banquet is a community event that raises scholarship money for a Bridge City and Orangefield senior athlete.

It is the fourth year that the BCCC has hosted the banquet to be held in the Bridge City Elementary School cafeteria at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12 each and can be purchased at the door or through the chamber.

Nominees for the scholarships are chosen based on good sportsmanship on and off the field.

The banquet begins a week of Bayou Bowl activities that has become a tradition among high school football fans in the annual get-together. The finale comes on Nov. 9 when the Bridge City-Orangefield Rotary Club awards the Buzzi Gunn Trophy immediately following the game.

An autographed football signed by the players of Bayou

Bowl XII will be auctioned during banquet festivities.

Master of Ceremonies again this year is Jerry McInnis.

Guest speaker is former Cardinal and Tulane football player Cody Sparks.

“The banquet is designed to bring our communities together for an evening of levity and goodwill,” said McInnis.

“At the same time we are raising money for scholarships and showing our appreciation and recognition to our local athletic programs.”

The chamber awards two $1,000 scholarships from the banquet.

A friendly rivalry surrounds the Bayou Bowl that began in 2000 when UIL district realignment reassigned Bridge City from Class-4A to Class3A. The change pitted the Cardinals with district repercussions against the neighboring Orangefield Bobcats.

The Penny Record newspaper coined the game-name “Bayou Bowl.” The newspaper sponsored and promoted the event the first four Bayou Bowl contests. In 2004 the

Bridge City High School senior Madison Woodruff was crowned 2012 Homecoming Queen at Larry Ward Stadium on Friday. Woodruff is a First Lieutenant of the Strutter Dance and Drill Team. She is also a Student Council treasurer and a member of the National Honor Society.

Vergie Scales turns 101 years young Debby Schamber For The Record

In 1911, Calbraith Perry Rodgers made the first transcontinental flight across the United States. He flew the Wright Brothers “Vin Fiz” EX biplane from Sheepshead Bay N.Y. to Long Beach, CA. The trip took 84 days and stopped or crashed 70 times. Also, William Howard Taft was president, the Philadelphia Athletics won the world series 4-2 over the New York Giants and although, there were not a lot of them, the average cost of a car was $780.

But, right here in Southeast Texas on October 31, Vergie Scales was born. She grew up in the Orangefield/Bridge City area.

As a child, she was often with her grandparents who operated the Mansfield Ferry. According to Scales, the ride SCALES across the ferry costs 50 cents. She grew up learning to love hard work whether it was on a farm or interacting with adults since she didn’t have playmates of her won age to play with.

She also fondly remembers driving the family Pontiac at age 8 up and down Mansfield Ferry Road. She would prop herself up to reach the pedals for her drive on the roadway.

Commissioners give shelter official name Arnold appeal ‘Orange County Convention and Expo Center’ Penny Leleux

For The Record

The Shelter of Last Resort has been given an official name. Commissioners voted to name the facility being constructed on Farm Road 1442 “Orange County Convention and Expo Center.” The name reflects the year round usage of the building rather than its importance in emergency situations.

Though it will house the Emergency Management Center, Road and Bridge and AgriLIFE offices it will also be available for rent for different events. The center will house

a banquet hall that can host about 600 people, a full commercial kitchen and breakout meeting rooms.

“When the THIBODEAUX C . H . A . M . P. S . people…someday build the rodeo arena and exhibition center…the name would cover that also, in one big package. I think it’s a good generic name,” said Orange County Judge Carl Thibodeaux. “The purpose of this building is twofold. Everybody knows it’s going to be used in an emer-

gency situation, but I think on an everyday usage, I think it’s more in line with a good generic name like the Orange County Convention and Expo Center.”

“There was no requirement to have shelter in the name,” said Mark Wimberly in response to a question from Commissioner Precinct 2 Owen Burton asking if the name fulfills grant requirements.

Thibodeaux said the county is working to create a Web site for the center that will be available once the building is complete and available for renting. Exterior painting is in progress and the building is still on track to be completed in December.

Electrical service at landfill authorized Commissioners also authorized Road and Bridge to have Entergy run electrical service to the land fill to power two compactors. The two compactors will replace six of the regular dumpsters with an expected savings of $121,136 per year, of which $90,000 was already removed in the new budget. The $31,000 still in the budget is more than enough to cover the cost of extending electrical service to the site and slabs for the compactors.

The expected cost for the project is $8,549.22, which leaves over $20,000 in expected savings to the county.

Thibodeaux was also authorized to sign a one year continuation contract with Waste Management-Golden Triangle for solid waste collection and recycling at current prices.

Next year the contract will go up for rebidding.

Public hearing set for parking issue The possibility of having signs stating “No Parking Between Signs” installed at each end of the guard rail on the bridge on Lake Street in Bridge

City was brought before commissioners by Clark Slacum, the county engineer. The request was in response to people parking on the bridge and blocking traffic trying to get to the boat launch further down the road. A public hearing will be required before action can be taken and has been set for 1:30 p.m., Nov. 19. Action will then be taken at commissioners’ court to be held that day at 2 p.m.

OC Historical Commission nominations sought Candidates are being sought for the Orange County Historical Commission. The positions are appointed and will be determined in December according to Thibodeaux.

“We’ve still got plenty of space left on it. Every year we reappoint those on it and add any new members that might be interested in serving. It’s available to anyone in Orange County that’s interested in historical significance to the county.” Thibodeaux said interested parties or those wishing to nominate someone should send a letter or e-mail to his office. There are about ten additional openings available according to Thibodeaux.

neighbor’s pickup truck,which he had arrived in, and the confrontation between Arnold and Whitehead continued. The situation escalated to the point where Whitehead was fatally shot

by Arnold.

An investigation into the matter was conducted by the Texas Rangers. The case was turned over to the Orange County Grand Jury. They decided to “no-bill” Arnold of any charges.

Monday, City Attorney Jack Smith, stated the hearing examiner made a decision from the arbitration hearing and misinterpreted and over stepped the bounds of his job which was to rule on the case based on the evidence. Instead, after a four day hearing, the examiner ruled Arnold was to be reinstated based on the fact the city of Orange violated his rights by not giving him due process.

Smith also cited many cases where a decision was made such as the case of the which involved the Galvestion police department. Like Orange, the Galveston P.D. has a collective bargaining agreement with their officers. It contains provisions which relate to the investigation and the disciplinary actions resulting from a complaint against any officer. As a result, the city was not required to comply with sections of the Texas Government Code.

The hearing examiner in the Orange case ordered Arnold be reinstated based on the examiner’s findings of the city not complying with the same code. Smith argued they were also not required to follow the code.

Greg Cagle, Arnold’s attorney, said he was aware of the case since he was the attorney for the cases mentioned. Cagle asked if the city had complied with their own rules and replied answering his own question ,” no they did not.”

He added, the city failed to follow federal, state and their own policies.

He also told the judge the shooting review board did not conduct a fair investigation by only talking to one witness from the scene. In addition, he said a hearing before a hearing examiner is no different than a bench trial before a judge.

When both attorneys were done. The judge announced she would have a decision on the appeal on Wednesday.

“I think the law is on our side,” Cagle said.

Halloween baby turns 101 She didn’t drive far, but only to the end of the road near the cemetery. If there was not a funeral, she drove through the cemetery before turning around to drive back to her house.

‘A driver’s license was not a big deal then,” she said.

Throughout her life education was always important.

She started school at the age of four year old. She memorized the alphabet forward and backwards. During her school days she developed and honed her skills which would later help her in professional life.

When Scales was 15 years old, she met the “love of her life.” Grover Allen Scales was 19 years old and worked on the ferry. They dated for about a year before they married on

Arnold

March 19, 1928 at the home of their pastor in Orangefield.

“He was a good man,” she added.

The newlywed worked at the Post Office in Orangefield until the birth of her first child in 1931. During this time, she had two sons and three daughters. But, sadly, over the years, three of her children have not outlived their mother.

The couple purchased a dairy and with the help of their children ran the dairy.

After they sold the dairy, they bought hay-baling equipment and range cattle.

In 1950, she worked as a newspaper reporter for a local paper. While a reporter she earned recognition and was Reporter of the Year. She wrote on various topics such

From Page 1A

as wedding announcements, obituaries and stories about community events. She also wrote feature stories. After she typed them up, she took them to the paper to be printed.

She loved being a reporter and the chance to meet people. She continued to work as a reporter for 39 years.

“When Mr. Quigley sold the paper, I decided to retire,” Scales said.

Other home duties including gardening, mowing her yard, sewing and cooking were always a part of her life too.

But, not all her time was devoted to reporting or family duties. She also loved to travel.

“I have had a good life,” she says with a smile.

From Page 2A

Smith said he disagrees with Cagle and feels the city will win the appeal which will call for a new hearing.

Smith added, “ That’s what makes horse races and lawsuits.”

This is not Arnold’s first issue which ended in violence.

According to documents, Arnold is reported to have stabbed a classmate while in junior high school. Although there were no charges filed for fear of retaliation, the then 14-year-old boy was stabbed in the upper right back during an altercation with Arnold.

The wound which was seen by doctors is said to have been about seven inches long and narrowly missed the victim’s lung.

In addition, an affidavit filed in Orange County by his wife, Shatonya Arnold, following two altercations with her husband, Robert Arnold further shows his tendency for violence.

According to documents, dated May 2004, Arnold has a “history of physical and verbal abuse” which “started in the year 2000 and has continued through the present.” It also reads, her husband became angry with her and backed her up into an armoire at their home. “He first hit the armoire with his fist and I ran from him and he chased me.

He then tossed a leather chair.

He grabbed me and was choking me. I got away from him and he chased me.” When she tried to call for help, Arnold grabbed the phone from her

and threw it and then closed the door on her leg. When she tried to escape in her car, Arnold blocked the driveway.

While she was on the phone inside her car, Arnold picked up a fire extinguisher and threatened to break her car window. She managed to escape by driving through the yard of their residence. Arnold then followed her in town for a while before quitting.

The couple was attempting to reconcile when Arnold appeared at her place of employment in Groves. According to documents, Arnold demanded she immediately call her attorney. She refused and he grabbed her arm and pushed her into her office and closed the door. He tried to remove her wedding ring and she pushed him away. As a result, he struck her “with his fist on the left side” of her face. She was knocked to the floor and he began pulling her by her arm to drag her to her feet.

After yelling at her he left the building.

Later the same day, a fellow employee informed her Arnold had returned. Her fellow employees put her into a supply closet to keep her safe. Local police were called and he was taken to jail.

The document reads,” I am afraid that my husband will continue to assault me, harass me, and verbally abuse me as he has done for many years. I do not believe that my children are safe in his presence when he engages in these outbursts of anger and uncon-

trolled temper.”

Attorneys Robert Arnold have filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against the city of Orange.

According to court documents, the suit is for lost income, past, present and future in addition to lost benefits and loss of ability to contribute to his retirement. In addition, they are seeking damages for mental anguish and emotional distress.

From the Creaux’s Nest ‘SANDY’ THE BIG OCTOBER SURPRISE Out of nowhere came Hurricane Sandy, who spread her winds 1000 miles wide. She blew winds, from 80 to 110 miles an hour, from Virginia to Boston, from the Atlantic Ocean through Ohio. Twenty-four states in all were affected. This storm will set new records with millions of people without power. History will record Sandy as the storm that erupted the 2012 presidential election. Books will be written about Sandy, the storm that slammed the northeast a week before the Nov. 6 election. How she impacted the election is too early to tell. It would be a guess.

Many people that would have voted won’t. Especially the early voters, a group President Obama had targeted in his ‘Get out the Vote’ campaign. In that way I believe he will be hurt the most, plus election day voters are usually more Republican.

Because he is Commander in Chief, he already has lost three days on the campaign trail, large events with President Bill Clinton in Florida and Ohio, Wisconsin, etc. The President, on Monday and Tuesday, was being presidential seeing that all states effected had the long arm of the federal government at their backs. President Obama is closely monitoring FEMA, Federal Emergency Management, created under President Jimmy Carter. FEMA is one of the agencies Mitt Romney said he would get rid of. He said it should be privatized and left up to volunteers. Earth quake, tornado, hurricane and fire victims would be left to bail themselves out. That’s just one of the many safety nets Romney would end. He would also privatize Social Security and issue vouchers for Medicare and end Medicaid, adding another burden on the backs of the poor and middle class. He proposes to cut $715 million from Medicare and put it into tax brakes that would reduce the tax burden of the wealthy to below 10 percent.

I found it strange Monday that the Romney campaign was running a phone bank in Texas when he leads the state 55 percent to 39 percent. Several Orange County people have told me they received calls from Romney folks. That must be a move to at least win the popular vote, even if he loses the Electoral College and the election. No one knows how Sandy will effect the outcome of the election. Chances are she will make a difference, to who’s advantage no one knows, before Sandy I had Obama winning with 294 votes. Damage will be in the billions but the loss of life is minimal. It’s a national disaster and folks here on the Gulf Coast know about that don’t we? You rebuild and move on. Thanks to the Federal Governments help.***** I’ve got to go to work. Hop on and come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm.

A WALK THROUGH HISTORY It was over four years ago, in the summer of 2008, when several candidates from both the Republican and Democratic parties were vying for their parties nomination. I wrote in this column at the time that I didn’t know why they wanted it because the new president would walk into the worse situation since the great depression. Jobs were falling off the cliff at between 400,000 to 500,000 a month and would climb to 800,000. We were fighting two wars, gas prices in Sept. reached $4.11 a gallon. The auto industry was on the verge of going bankrupt, the financial market was in shambles, home mortgages were upside down by the millions, Wall Street was unregulated and the corporate thieves like Ken Lay, Jack Abramoff and Bernard Madoff were reaping billions from innocent citizens. Sen. John McCain, republican and Sen. Barack Obama, democrat, won their parties nominations. McCain picked Sarah Palin as his running mate and Obama picked longtime Senator Joe Biden. History was made when the first mixed race candidate Obama won by a large margin. He faced a tremendous task, one that would take full co-operation from both parties. I had written that the country had been left in the ditch, that no one elected could get the country completely recovered in one term. It would take two terms to get the country back close to where President Clinton had left it. From day one, the day President Obama was inaugurated, 15 Republicans met. The group included Sen. McConnell, Rep. Paul Ryan and Eric Canter. A few days later Sen. McConnell came out and said that their first priority was to make Obama a one termer. They would not cooperate on anything to help the country if it helped Obama.

They signed a pledge to Grover Norquist and the congress became the worse in our history, with an 11 percent approval rating today. They made the chances of recovery almost impossible.

Then at mid-term, 87 Tea Party congressmen joined the assault on progress and sat on their hands, not raising a finger to help advance the country. President Obama plowed on, saved the auto industry, which affects at least two plants here on Chemical Row. He gave 18 tax cuts to small businesses and $3,600 in cuts to the middle class to help the country get some traction.

He saved the financial industry and helped bail out citizens in the drink on house mortgages. He did it alone while the congress attempted to obstruct his efforts. Today, despite their pledges, the country is on the upswing. Unemployment is down. Five of the eight million private sector jobs lost under Bush have been recaptured. Reports this week show the country is on the upswing. Consumer confidence is up, Wall Street, with regulations has been booming. Domestic oil production is at an all time high. There are more employees in the oil industry than ever before. I had written, back in 2008, that the American people would want a quick fix and whoever was president would get blamed if the recovery of the greatest recession since the great depression took some time to turn around. President Obama ended the war in Iraq, killed Bin Laden and will end the war in Afghanistan. History will serve him well. Next Tuesday we will find out if the obstructionist were able to accomplish their goal

of driving Obama out of office through obstruction. I’m convinced that if Obama is reelected, the congress, to protect their own futures in mid-term elections will have to cooperate or get beaten at home by even members of their own party. The President will remind the country regularly that they’re a “Do Nothing” congress and to send him some caring people to work with the last two years. Last year I wrote that I believed with Democrats having 23 senate seats to protect that the Republicans would probably win the senate. Now, because so many have shot themselves in the foot, I believe Demos will hold the senate by one or two seats and will notch some gains in the congress, six to eight seats.

What concerns me the most under a Romney administration is moderate Mitt returning to the Mitt of the Republican primaries, endorsing the Paul Ryan budget that cripples the middle class. Karl Rove, John Sununu, Dick Cheney, who picked Ryan as VP candidate and the 17 war mongers from the Bush administration calling the shots. Sen. McCain as defense secretary and putting $2 trilion in the military war fund is scary. I’m tired of war but they represent the defense contractors. Without war they are idle. Romney is not one of us. That’s not his fault it’s his good fortune. He was born into great wealth and has never had to struggle for one day. He owns six mansions, one with an automobile elevator, one on the California coast overlooking the Pacific and a $25 million place in New Hampshire on the Atlantic that they call “The Camp.” The family owns three jet planes and dozens of cars. It’s not his fault that he can’t relate with the middle class. Romney’s main interest is to be president not govern.

It’s a dream his father couldn’t fulfill. History would be made, the name Romney would go in the history books as the first Mormon elected president. That’s his prize. He will let the extreme and Neo-cons call the shots. He just wants one term for the record books. I don’t know who will be elected. I believe whoever wins Ohio. Many folks will vote against their own interest, primarily because Obama is black but even so, you must give him credit. He went it alone. My favorite Obama commercial is the one narrated by Morgan Freeman where his tag line is “The last thing we should do is turn back now.” I guess we’ll know next Wednesday morning. That’s the way I see it, but it really doesn’t matter how any of us see it, the choice will be made by others in swing states.

CONDOLENCES We send our condolences to the family of Ruby Pickard, age 84, who passed away Tuesday, Oct. 30, 1:30 p.m. Ruby was a woman with a long history of helping people. She was the founder of My Wish, Inc., a nonprofit organization that filled the dreams of terminally ill children. The organization began right before Christmas in 1983. She provided kids with anything from airplane rides, to a horse, to tickets to a Houston Astros game, etc. She was calm in the face of the anguish only a family of a dying child can know. She was a dear friend for over 60 years. Services are pending. To husband John, daughter and many friends we extend our deepest sympathy. Today our friend Ruby is comfortable in heaven. May she rest in peace.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Tee-Neg Desameaux and Pee-Wee Leleaux sat at Tee-boy’s bar and Grill and got plum drunk, dem. Dey stagger out of da bar and walk down da alley wit a row of houses on one side an on da utta side too.

All of a sudden Pee-Wee stop him and he point to a strange looking pile of something on da ground. He say, “Tee-Neg, it smell bad yea. “Pee-Wee he look at da pile and say, “It’s brown and sho look nasty.”

Tee-Neg him say, “Why don’t you taste it Pee-Wee?” So Pee-Wee him he stick his finger in it, taste it and make an uguky face.

Den he say, “Angh, I tink it’s dog ca-ca me.”

Tee-Neg say, “Boy, tank God, at least we didn’t step in it.”

C’EST TOUT For over 40 years I’ve written about a dozen or so presidential elections. We have finally come to the last column before the big political Super Bowl next Tuesday. Most important to us are the local elections. Don’t let national politics determine your choice for the best qualified local candidates. National politics have nothing to do with local governing.*****I found it quite interesting that the Houston Chronicle, who usually endorses Republican candidates, selected Democratic Max Martin as the best candidate to represent Dist. 36 in congress. That’s us folks. The Chronicle says an electoral nightmare for the GOP is Steve Stockman. You might recall, as an unknown living under a bridge, he upset Jack Brooks, longtime congressman. He was involved in the Branch Davidian Waco controversy. Stockman doesn’t live in this district. I’m not sure where he lives. I understand he gets his mail General Delivery. That’s what gerrymandering congressional districts have done to us. Pitting us against the Houston area. We can thank Rick Perry for that. Getting a bad choice is also one danger of voting a straight ticket. You don’t know what you’re getting down ballot. The Chronicle says about Max Martin, “His pro-business views should have appeal to many Republicans in the district, which includes refineries, Gulf fisheries, ranches and timber.” They go on to say Stockman’s views would not serve this district well. Even though Republicans have run away from Stockman, he will probably ride Romney’s coat tails, win and we will be stuck with a clown in this proud district.*****I’m all done. Be back after the election.

Thanks for your time. I’ve over extended mine. Look out for the

Because of redistricting, for the first time in many years, there will not be any elected state or federal officials with an office in Orange County after the end of 2012.

In addition, Beth Rach, who has worked as a district coordinator for State Representatives Ron Lewis for 17 years and Mike Hamilton for 10 years will be out of a job.

“I have worked for two great people,” she said.

However, Rach said she hopes there will be an office placed in Orange County soon and added Senator Robert Nichols does not have an office in Orange, but does a good job taking care of Orange County. The closest state representative office is that of Allen Ritter who Debby Schamber has an office in Nederland.

“It’s been a ride,” Rach said. “I will miss the people.”

The furniture will be moved out of the office within the next few weeks, but will not close for good until Dec. 31.

Rach says she doesn’t know what she will do professionally, but said, “I am not one that just sits and does nothing.”

Until the office closes she is determined not to sit and worry about her uncertain future.

“For now I have a job to do and will do it until the end,” she said.

During her years of 17 years of service she felt, she didn’t work for the officials, but along with them.

Rach was responsible for keeping the office going while the representatives did their job in Austin. At different times she has had people work part-time or short term, but in the end, she was left to do the job.

When the citizens of Orange County had a problem, Rach listened to them and tried to help find a solution. “ I took care of constituent concerns such as child support, insurance problems and more,” she said.

But, the hardest part was after Hurricane Rita in 2005 and Hurricane Ike in 2010. the devastation the storms left behind was difficult for area residents to manage. They reached out to the State Representative’s office in hopes of getting some help with their problems. “ I will never forget the sound of the people’s voices,” Rach recalls.

Rach admits she didn’t always find the answer for them, but she did all she could to find one.

“It was a learning experience every day,” she said. ‘Sometimes the people just want to be heard, so you just have to sit and listen.”

Since her childhood days Rach has been taught to help others.

“I was taught to take part in the community and not sit back and let others do it for you,” she said.

Which is exactly what she has done. “ I have made some great friends and met people I would not have met otherwise,” Rach said.

She smiles as she talks about her regulars who often come by the office to chat about what is going on over a cup of coffee.

“I am going to miss that,” she said.

Until the office closes, she will continue to do what she had always done and just take one day at a time.

FOOTBALL FORECAST Upcoming Games This Week WEST ORANGE-STARK over BRIDGE CITY The Mustangs are really on some kind of a roll, undefeated in all eight games this season with six of them being shutouts. The Cards are merely trying to nab that final playoff position, but a loss Friday night at Dan Hooks Stadium will certainly not help their cause. The Big Red needs an upset victory in the worst way!!!

LITTLE CYPRESS-MAURICEVILLE over BEAUMONT CENTRAL The loser of this game will be hard-pressed to secure that important fourth playoff position that is still up for grabs. The Battlin’ Bears have the advantage going into this Saturday night contest in Beaumont, but a loss to Central will give the Jags that edge for the playoff spot.

ORANGEFIELD OVER BUNA These two teams are as evenly matched as their records indicate and this game will be a battle for survival in the District 21-3A playKAZ’S FOOTBALL FORECAST

OC football teams eye playoff slots CHRIS MENARD SPORTS COLUMNIST Week ten of high school football action is underway and it’s coming down to the wire for some teams. This is the time of year when it’s clear if there is a team separating itself from the pack or if your team is caught in a struggle for it’s playoff life. We certainly have our break-away team, and there is definitely a lot at stake as it’s evident that some squads will certainly have a chance of crushing their counterparts post-season hopes all together.

The Bridge City Cardinals (4-4, 3-1) are riding a wave of momentum after defeating Hardin-Jefferson 13-0 last Friday. It was the Cardinals second win in a row and it was the Cards’ defense that nailed down the victory holding the Hawks scoreless making it their second shut-out in a row.

Coach Stump’s crew didn’t have the offensive explosion you’d hope for, but the Cardinals still got the job done when it was clutch-time. Quarterback Daniel Faulk threw for a score and running back Ashton Hunter had another good game rushing for 176 yards and a touchdown, both capitalizing off of key plays made by the defense.

This win put the Cards up in the district standings 3-1 which also makes their upcoming match-ups that much more meaningful. The Cardinals will hit the road versus WO-S this Friday at 7 p.m. in a contest where the Mustangs are heavily favored. A week later, they will have to face their arch-rival Orangefield Bobcats in the “Bayou Bowl.”

Both of these games will be pivotal to the Cards’ playoff chances, especially if the Bridge City goes down to West Orange-Stark this week.

Coach Thompson and the Mustangs (8-0, 3-0) are sitting tight and find themselves coasting off of a spree of wins.

The Mustang defense has been a nightmare for offenses all season long, posting one shutout after another on their way to an undefeated season thus far. Last week the Mustangs dismantled the Buna Cougars 40-0. While the defense was busy chasing fumbles, intercepting the ball and shutting down the Buna passing game entirely; it was the Jimmy Salter show on offense as he did a little bit of everything.

Salter rushed for three scores on the ground and even found the time to toss in another one through the air. This Friday they will host Bridge City at 7 p.m.

Even though the Mustangs are running perfect, do not expect them to overlook a hungry Cardinal team with it’s own playoff aspirations. They will try to make their mark while remaining undefeated, and not to be outdone, the

Bridge City Cardinals always play hard and would love to knock West Orange off of it’s high-horse.

The Little Cypress-Mauriceville Bears (4-4, 3-2) got another much needed victory over Lumberton last week 37-6. The Battlin’ Bear’s defense stuffed the Lumberton rushing attack all game long;

recovering fumbles, and keeping their running yardage almost non-existent. Alex Sezer rushed for three touchdowns with 111 yards to go with it.

This Friday the Bears will go out to play Beaumont Central on the road at 7:30 p.m., in a contest they should win.

Coach Josh Smalley and the Orangefield Bobcats (3-5, 2-2)

are coming off of a bye week and it’s just in time to face a Buna Cougar squad who is coming into “Bobcat Country” battered after the 40-0 beating they received at the hands of the WO-S Mustangs. Coach Smalley knows exactly what’s at stake with it’s rival, Bridge City playing the Mustangs this week and also knows that

a win against Buna and a BC loss could lead to one heck of a game against the Cardinals, with everything on the line.

Expect Carl Wiley and the boys to be ramped up to deliver a statement game against the Cougars.

The Vidor Pirates (7-1, 5-1) also notched another district win against the PN-G Indians

last week. The Pirates have been a force all year and have all but sewn up their division.

They host Livingston this Friday at 7:30 p.m. and don’t expect the train to stop there.

Vidor will have their highimpact rushing attack clicking by the time the whistle blows, leaving them one final contest against LC-M.

WOS Mustangs win eight straight, traveling to Bridge City Friday MUSTANG INSIDER MERI ELEN JACOBS FOR THE RECORD

Playing a new team in a new place yielded the same results for the Mustangs as they went into Buna for the first time ever and defeated the Cougars, 40-0, making this the eighth win for the season and the sixth shut-out.

“I was proud of our kids for going into the situation and winning,” Head Coach Cornel Thompson said. “Buna was just what I thought that they would be-big, physical and they played hard.”

Although the game seemed to start out slowly by those not in attendance, the WO-S and Buna fans saw another story.

The Mustangs had a touchdown called back, the Cougars had a touchdown called back and an interception by Quentin Tezeno was blown dead as he snagged the ball that would’ve resulted in another WO-S score. The Mustangs were only up at the half, 10-0.

However, WO-S exploded after half time and Buna could never recover. During the third quarter, quarterback Jimmy Salter crossed the goal line with just over a minute ticked off the clock on an 11yard keeper, putting the Mustangs up 17-0 after a field goal

by Rodikson Cano and a Salter six-yard touchdown run in the first half.

“Our kids responded positively to Buna’s play and the official’s calls and that got us ready to play in the second half and we got the victory,” Thompson said.

Buna’s Glenn Patrick was picked off for the second time when Deionte Thompson snagged a pass without missing a beat and returned it 27 yards for the second score of the third. Salter was again a part of the third third quarter touchdown when he hit receiver Tremaine Anderson on a bubble and Anderson took it 44 yards to put the Mustangs up 30-0 to start the fourth.

Salter finished his time on the field with a 17-yard touchdown run up the middle with 11:53 left in the game. The last score was a 23-yard field goal

by Cano.

The defense had another stellar performance, holding the Cougars to 102 yards total offense, which all came on the ground. Buna’s Patrick completed two passes but both were to Mustang players with one resulting in Thompson’s touchdown.

Next up for the Mustangs are the Bridge City Cardinals.

The Cardinals, who are 4-4 overall, beat Hardin Jefferson last Friday, 13-0.

“Bridge City is Bridge City,” Thompson said. “They will play hard here. They run the spread and we’ll have to get back into the mental mode of the spread. They are in the situation that they have to win to get into the playoffs.”

The Cardinals beat Buna, 28-24, the first week of the season, after being down by 24 points at the half. They beat Hamshire-Fannett, 30-0 but lost to Silsbee, 20-45. They are led by running back Ashton Hunter, who reached the

1000 yard mark this past Friday in the last few minutes of the game. Daniel Faulk, who is the quarterback, has passed for 537 yards and nine touchdowns and has scored two rushing touchdowns. Receiver Tanner Cervanka is Faulk’s favorite target, with five touchdown catches and 156 yards.

“You can pretty much throw the record out when we play Bridge City,” Thompson said.

“It’s kind of the same scenario as seven years ago when we played over there and they needed a win to get in and we ended up beating them in our first overtime ever.”

Friday will be senior night for the Mustangs, beginning at 6:20 p.m. with kick-off at 7 p.m.. All senior football players, trainers, cheerleaders, band members, Fillies and managers will be introduced prior to the game. Tickets for the game will be on sale in the Athletic Office Wednesday 1-3 p.m., Thursday - 9-noon and 1-3 p.m. and Friday 9-noon ONLY. Tickets are $5 for reserved and $2 for the student section. All tickets at the gate are $5.

The subvarsity teams all won Thursday night. The seventh grade team beat Buna, 43-0 and the eighth grade won, 46-0. The freshmen team (6-2, 5-0) played Bridge City and won, 20-0. Quarterback Maliki Hodge had a hand in all of the scoring with a one yard run, a 43-yard pass to JaQuarius Garrick and a 44-yard pass

to Thomas Wallace. David Webb also caught a two-point conversion from Hodge. Offensive standouts are Hodge, Webb, Wallace, Garrick and JaDarius Thompson. Defensive standouts are Domonique White, Mark Ledet, Garrick and Demeric Judge.

The JV team beat Buna, 388. Dillon Sterling-Cole threw three touchdown passes-17 yards to Jermaine Mitchell, 43 yards and 14 yards to Caleb Collins. Trae Baldwin also had a 47-yard touchdown run and a two-point conversion.

Sterling-Cole also scored 2 two-point conversions and passed to Mitchell for another. The defense scored twice.

Josh Tims picked up a fumbled Buna punt and Dee Wolfford intercepted the Cougar quarterback and ran it back for a 60-yard touchdown. Other JV offensive standouts are Jacob Hyrorchuk, Wollford, and Brandon Lebouef. Defensive standouts are Elijah Teel, Steven Tims, and Marco Jaganathan.

The ninth grade and JV teams will play in Bridge City on Thursday with the first game starting at 5 p.m. while the Stallions will play at the middle school field at the same time.

Come out for a typical WOS-Bridge City match-up that will surely be a great game.

Congratulate the seniors who will be playing, dancing and cheering on their home field for the last time!

Cowboy-NY game had more turnovers than most bakeries KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

Generally, whenever Dallas Cowboys longtime owner Jerry Jones opens his mouth, 99 percent of what comes out of it is meaningless drivel.

However, after Sunday’s anguishing 29-24 loss to the New York Giants at his billion dollar emporium in Arlington he was quoted by the San Antonio Express-News of putting the game in perspective, “The big plays don’t win games as much as the mistakes lose ball games,” Jones evaluated.

The big play that would have won the game was a circus catch by wide receiver Dez Bryant in the final minute of the game that first was called a touchdown but later overturned when the slow-motion replay revealed that Bryant’s hand barely touched the outof-bounds line in the back of the end zone.

But it was the mistakes—six turnovers including a fumble

by Bryant during a punt return, a fumble by running back Felix Jones that led to a 37-yard field goal by Lawrence Tynes that ended the scoring with 3:31 left and four interceptions thrown by Dallas quarterback Tony Romo—that dropped the Cowboys’ record to 3-4 compared to the Giants’ 6-2 mark.

The Giants certainly weren’t mistake-free in this contest by any means. New York also lost a fumble and quarterback Eli Manning was picked off once.

The Giants managed only 11 first downs compared to the Cowboys’ 28.

The New York defense scored one touchdown on an interception and set up 23 of their 29 points via their takeaways from the Cowboys’ fumbles and interceptions.

The Giants were leading 23-0 just two minutes into the second period.

But when the Cowboys finally awakened, they came back with a vengeance and by the end of the third quarter, surged ahead 24-23 with 3:43 left in the third stanza.

Romo had a career-best 437 yards passing, connecting on 36-of-62 passes while tight end Jason Witten broke his team record by snagging 18 passes for a career-best 167 yards. Bryant and Miles Austin also topped the 100yard barrier with 110 and 133 yards, respectively.

But Manning was able to bring his team back in the fourth period for the 20th time in his career, setting up field goals of 43 and 37 yards

by Tynes that put the Giants ahead for good. The victory ups New York’s record to 4-0 in Arlington since Jones opened his new stadium in 2009 with a Giants’ victory.

“I’m very disappointed right now,” Jones told the Associated Press after the game.

“I thought after all that, our defense played well enough, our offense kept going and I thought we were going to pull one out.”

The Cowboys defense played an outstanding game considering the turnovers gave New York excellent field position in the early stages of the game.

The Giants scored their last touchdown on Jason PierrePaul’s 28-yard interception return with 13:05 left in the second quarter. The Giants didn’t light the scoreboard again until Tynes’ 43-yard field goal with 10:20 left in the game.

The win was the Giants’ sixth in seven games since the Cowboys 24-17 victory over New York on opening day. It was Dallas’ third loss in the last four games and will make the task of getting to the playoffs quite a chore. But there are nine games remaining in the season and anything can happen during that time frame.

The Cowboys have a huge task facing them in an effort to even their record at 4-4 as

they travel to face the Atlanta Falcons Sunday night in front of a national viewing audience. The 7-0 Falcons are the only undefeated team in the NFL. The Giants should have their hands full also when they entertain the surging Pittsburgh Steelers in Rutherford, N.J., who have won two in a row at stand at 4-3.

KWICKIES…The 2012 Major League Baseball season ended on a surprise note when the underdog San Francisco Giants swept Detroit in four straight games to win the World Series. Sunday’s game was the only one in which the Tigers big bats came alive as they scored all their runs on homers. But the Giants used “small ball” when it counted most in the 10th inning when former LSU star Ryan Theriot led off with a single, was bunted to second and scored on a single by July acquisition Marco Scutaro, giving the Giants a 4-3 win and their second world championship in three years. Contributing to the Giants win was an RBI triple by first baseman Brandon Belt, who starred for Hudson High School in Lufkin and the University of Texas before being drafted by the Giants.

The Houston Texans swing back into action Sunday when they host the Buffalo Bills in Reliant Stadium at noon. The Texans (6-1) boast the best record in the AFC and hope to give former No. 1 draft choice Mario Williams a rude homecoming after he was lured from Houston this spring for a $100 million contract with Buffalo that included $50 million guaranteed. So far “Super Mario” has been a huge disappointment for the Bills with only 16 tackles and 3 ½ sacks

for a Buffalo defense that allows 32.4 points per game.

The West Orange-Stark Mustangs’ Chain Gang Defense has allowed a total of 20 points this season in eight games, which is the fewest of any Texas high school football team in Classes 5A down to 1A. And in District 21-3A competition the ‘Stangs have defeated their four opponents by a 187-0 margin, which proves the offense is pretty good, too.

One reason the Atlanta Falcons are the only undefeated team in the NFL is the brilliant kicking of Bridge City native Matt Bryant. The 10-year veteran booted field goals of 43, 29 and 30 yards Sunday to help the Falcons defeat the favored Philadelphia Eagles 30-17. Let’s wish Matt more success than his team when Atlanta hosts our Dallas Cowboys Sunday night on national TV. The loss by the Florida Gators to Georgia last weekend dropped them from No. 2 in this week’s BCS Poll down to No. 7 while Notre Dame jumped up two notches to No. 3, behind Kansas State which moved up on spot to No. 2.

Alabama remained No. 1 and Oregon stayed at No. 4 while LSU went up one spot to No. 5 and Georgia leap-frogged from No. 10 to sixth.

However in the Associated Press Top 25 Collegiate Poll Alabama and Oregon retained the top two positions, Kansas State, Notre Dame and LSU all moved up one spot, Ohio State jumped three spaces to No. 6, Georgia catapulted five places to No. 7, Florida dropped from third to No. 8, Florida State moved up two spots to No. 9 and Clemson bumped up four places to No. 10. Texas A&M bounced up six places to No. 16 while Texas Tech dropped five spots to No. 20.

JUST BETWEEN US… Last weekend was evidence

that Orange’s Thomas brothers come from the same cloth.

On Saturday night before a huge Homecoming crowd on Louis Bonnette Field in Lake Charles, McNeese cornerback Seth Thomas intercepted a Stephen F. Austin pass with 3:05 left in the game with the Lumberjacks driving for the winning touchdown and the Cowboys holding a slender 2824 lead. McNeese scored after the interception and upset the ‘Jacks 35-24. On Sunday the Seattle Seahawks were leading 17-14 at Detroit and the Lions were driving for the go-ahead touchdown when big brother Earl made an acrobatic interception at the two-yard line to preserve the lead. But Earl’s game didn’t end like Seth’s as the Lions won 28-24 on a touchdown pass with 20 second left in the game.

off chase. Both teams must win this game to even have an outside shot at a possible playoff berth. This is the final regular-season game for the Cougars, while the Bobcats have two games remaining, including this one.

VIDOR over LIVINGSTON If Vidor fans come to Pirate Stadium Friday night thinking this game will be an easy one for their hometown heroes, they had better think again.

Livingston has the same District 20-4A record as the Pirates, so Vidor had better batten down the hatches for an all-out war.

NEW WAVERLY over DEWEYVILLE The Pirates will have their backs against the wall in this important District 12-2A-I clash at New Waverly, which is 3-0 in district play and 7-1 for the season. The Pirates have had a fine season so far, winning six of their eight games and could put the icing on the cake with an upset victory Friday night.

ORANGE COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN over HOUSTON CHRISTIAN The Lions fell behind to Alvin Living Stones last week and couldn’t launch a comeback and came up on the short end of a 31-20 score. But they return home for this Saturday night contest that kicks off at 7:30 p.m. and will be ready to avenge last week’s loss on the road.

VINTON over DE QUINCY The Lions ran into a buzz saw last week in the form of the Welsh Greyhounds who put a 47-16 whipping on them.

Vinton finishes the 2012 regular season at De Quincy and would like to end it on a positive note.

STEPHEN F. AUSTIN over LAMAR The McNeese Cowboys had a tough time subduing the Lumberjacks in front of a friendly Homecoming crowd last Saturday night so the Cardinals will have their hands full Saturday in Nacogdoches.

McNEESE STATE over NICHOLLS STATE The Cowboys have always had trouble playing the Nicholls State Colonels, especially when the game is in Thibodaux, La. This year the Colonels share the bottom rung of the Southland Conference standings with Lamar, each with 0-4 loop marks, but the Pokes had better beware!!!

• The Record • Week of Wednesday, October 31, 2012

Structure takes precedence over color It was an approach to shopping that I had never personally witnessed before. The shopper, surely an avid fisherman, raked every pack of Sea Shads and Flats FOR THE RECORD Minnows in two different colors off the pegs and into his basket. He then defiantly made his way through several other shoppers patiently waiting behind him.

“Which of these is the best,” he asked the well-known area fisherman that was speaking with the clerk at the time. The obvious answer, “They are both good,” was not what he wanted to hear.“I am not putting any of them back until I am sure I have the right color,” he replied.The fact that the other shoppers were still waiting for him to put either of them back on the pegs should have been confirmation enough. Not surprisingly, they were not going to help him with his decision and he eventually returned all but four packs of each. When the next shopper in line quickly grabbed everything he put back, the earlier advice was confirmed.

Excluding most effectively targeting flounder with an artificial; lure, color is not nearly as critical a consideration this time of year as depth and structure. I would feel confident chasing flounder with basically any color Gulp shrimp or mullet that I could get my hands on, but chartreuse would be my first choice.That, however, is not the case when it comes to targeting reds and larger trout well into the early spring months. Even with the user-friendly madness that comes with working the birds still in full swing, there is a more consistent larger trout and redfish bite awaiting the angler willing to do more exploring than casting.

If you don’t care to get that serious about your fishing then you have wasted enough time reading this column. I fished last week with Lamar Belcher and he made it clear from the “get go” that he was more interested in establishing patterns and learning new techniques than riding herd on the gulls. Over the course of a rainy morning we both enjoyed sharing information while shortening the learning curve!As of a week ago, every pattern associated with catching larger trout began working to some degree and each will only get stronger with more cold weather. The easiest and most consistent pattern is targeting big trout moving out of deeper water onto shallow flats in 2 to 4 feet of water in search of their next meal.

Find something different about the bottom whether it is a slightly deeper drain or scattered shell

COLBURN-FISHING CAPT. DICKIE COLBURN

and be as quiet as possible while fishing the area. If there is bait on the surface, plan on staying a while as it is usually only a matter of figuring out which lure they can’t resist before your wait pays dividends.

I have caught many of my largest trout slowly walking a topwater lure like the Spook or She Dog across the surface on even the coldest of days and I am equally sold on suspending baits like the Corky, Maniac Mullet and MirrOlure’s Catch V and MirrOdine XL. They have a large profile and they can be retrieved slowly without sinking through the strike zone.Having said that, I often rely on the longer five inch tail rigged on a 1/16th or 1/8th ounce jig head. The additional bulk and extra length more closely imitates a mullet and I can fish them a little faster when hunting fish.My main concern is whether to fish a straight tail or paddle tail which produces a little more vibration.

The Assassin Diedapper and five inch Sea Shad are my favorite paddle tails while I prefer TTF’s Trout Killer and the Tidal Surge mullet in a straight tail. Choice of colors is dependent on water clarity and while dark or light is pretty generic, I stick with brighter translucent colors in clear water and darker lures for their opaque profile in dingy water. There are plenty of confidence colors on both ends of the spectrum without going through a long list that will get the job done.

The most difficult, but easily the most “wind proof” pattern involves effectively fishing the deeper water leading to any shallow flat that borders the river or ICW. Big trout have no reason to leave the deeper more stable water as long as food is present and the same fish you caught shallow will never be far from deeper water this time of the year.The key to finding these fish is locating submerged pieces of structure that divert water current. Use your depth finder to determine the depth most of the bait is holding at and then search out points of land or even submerged structure that provide ambush points at that depth.I vertically fish the deeper water pattern most of the time and my three most productive lures are a Corky Devil, Maniac Mullet and Carolina rigged Assassin Diedapper. A critical factor in successfully fishing this pattern is to not be afraid to lose a lure. You are going to lose your share if you fish them correctly, but you are also going to get more swings at trout over seven pounds than you ever thought possible.

Give the birds a break on your next trip and loosen your drag!

Texas hunting season opens to high expectations

OUTDOORS CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE

FOR THE RECORD

Saturday marks the annual “Texas Holiday” known as opening day of hunting season and there is no shortage of high hopes or expectations among local hunters. The overall outlook for our part of Texas is about as good as one could ask for without being greedy.

Rainfall at just the right times during the late summer has vegetation from the pineywoods to the saltwater marshes looking green and fertile. A few areas between here locally and the big lakes to the north are a little dry but for the most part everything appears to be perfect for opening day of the Texas general hunting season.

So far the early seasons for both deer hunters and waterfowl hunters have been average to above average and beyond. Archery only season that encompassed the month of October saw some great deer taken by local hunters. The majority of the deer I saw were really healthy and in good shape. Antler growth, especially in areas where hunters have become more management minded towards quality have been impressive.

The new antler restrictions have certainly played a part in a healthier deer herd for East Texas hunters as younger bucks are being allowed to grow and mature. The greater number of mature bucks will only perpetuate better and bigger deer for future seasons. If there is a drawback for the deer hunters it’s the tremendous crop of acorns that are falling daily. The bumper crop of acorns and a big full moon has deer movement around supplemental feeders at a minimum, especially during daylight hours. The prepared hunter who is ready to stay late may be rewarded with a shot long after the early birds are back at camp eating breakfast.

If there is any group in better shape than the deer hunters it has to be the local waterfowl hunters. The numbers of ducks in our area for the season opener is about as impressive as anyone

can remember in recent years. The same full moon that has deer hunters concerned is working magic for the waterfowler hunters since the ducks and geese do the majority of their migrating at night.

This past week big numbers of speckle bellied geese showed up all along the coastal prairies and another big wave of Canada geese hit the panhandle as well. The snow goose numbers will surely increase in the next week or so and continue to grow with each successive front. Duck numbers are already good as the big numbers of teal that were already here have combined with some huge numbers of gadwall, pintail, shovelers, and widgeon.

This past week most duck hunters have resembled an army of ants as they have been making final preparations on their blinds. Trailer loads of cane, palms, and other vegetation have been stacked up at the boat launches as hunters shuttle the loads to their blinds.

I even saw a few hunters who must have a little nicer blind than I have hauling out a satellite dish and small stove, talk about roughing it. The different amenities each hunter brings out to their blind are as varied as the hunters themselves and that covers a wide range for sure. The one thing they all have in common is that they are eagerly waiting legal shooting time on Saturday morning.

For those taking to the woods or the marshes this weekend be sure to keep safety in mind because there will be a heavy population of hunters out there. Follow all the rules, double check your licenses and stamps, and by all means enjoy your time afield.

“Momma God,” a tale of lost love found Penny LeLeux For The Record Sometimes mental illness manifests in the form of religious fervor. Such is the case in “Momma God” written by Glenda Dickey and Bob Parr.

A fictionalized memoir, the names have been changed, but the story is true.

It’s a tale of a lifelong love began as teens, torn apart by a zealot mother and reunited more than 50 years later.

Robby Norman’s mom Pauline walked around for days, dazed and confused. She didn’t know who anyone was and apparently had a mental breakdown.

She finally recovered, but was convinced she was visited

by God. That led her to fortune tellers and a search into the paranormal. Then she found religion.

She was convinced God

did the same.

At some point Robby realized his mother was delusional for all those years and had not spoken to God. After 50 years of agony, Sharlet finally gave up hope of ever seeing Robby again.

In the wake of Hurricane Ike recovery she gets a phone call.

It’s Robby. A flood of emotions she had tried to push to the back of mind came rushing to the forefront.

It’s a compelling story of undying love lost for half a century and found once again. It’s a Lifetime movie waiting to be made.

Dickey and Parr will be at Holiday in the Park Saturday signing and selling “Momma God.” The festival will be 10 a.m.-dusk at 2700 Western Ave. at the Seale-Alford Plaza next to West Orange City Hall.

“Momma God” is also available at Farmer’s Mercantile and bookstores.

that required the move.

Robby convinced Sharlet’s father to let her come to Oklahoma for a two week stay. That was the beginning of the end.

It was two weeks of hell for Sharlet. God stayed mad at the pair almost the entire time she was there.

Robby tried to talk Sharlet into getting married while she was there even though Pauline had said she would never sign consent for him.

Sharlet wouldn’t, because she promised her father she wouldn’t marry while there.

He wanted her to finish school first.

That was the end. Robby caved to his mother’s and God’s insistence to “leave they girl alone.” Robby never sent any more letters and broke up by phone sometime later.

Sharlet was devastated and never got over it. She married and had children, though she never really loved again. Robby

spoke through her and gave her many missions. She became fanatical and controlled her family through God’s messages.

“Her head and body shook.

The tone of her voice was caustic and guttural as she spoke for God. ‘Thus saith the Lord God, My anger is kindled against thee, for thou has disobeyed My servant, and thou has disobeyed Me. Therefore, I say, on thy knees, repent! Repent! I… have…spoken… Thus…saith…

God.’ God was mad as hell again.”

Then Robby met Sharlet.

Pauline and God kept telling Robby to stay away from that girl. But he couldn’t help it.

They were in love and planned to get married. Sharlet was 14 when they met, Robbie was 16.

They continued to date for a couple of years, and then Robby moved to Oklahoma. God had sent Pauline on a mission

The Miraculous Prayer Dear Heart of Jesus: In the past I have asked for many favors.

This time I ask you for this very special one (mention favor).

Take it, dear Jesus, and place it within your own broken heart, where your Father sees it.

Then in your merciful eyes, it will become your favor, not mine.

Amen.

Say this prayer for three days, promise publication and favor will be granted.

Never known to fail.
