Second Annual ‘Hope For Health’ Expo set for Nov. 5

For The Record

The Orange County AgriLife Extension Office is hosting their second annual “Hope For Health” Expo on Saturday, Nov. 5. The event will start at the Carl Godwin Auditorium, located at 202 Western Ave in West Orange, with registration beginning at 8 a.m.

Helen Phillips, Season 7 winner on the Biggest Loser, will come back again this year to give an update on her weight loss journey and to promote her new cookbook. Admission to Phillip’s presentation is free and will begin at 9 a.m.

“She’s going to talk about her cook book, how she’s kept the weight off and how her family eats,” Paula Tacker, County

Extension Agent over Family and Consumer Sciences said.

This year marks the first year for the Healthy Lifestyle Weight Loss Challenge. Participants in this challenge were asked to email a before and after picture with a one page story of their personal transformation.

“We wanted to do our own little ‘Biggest Loser’ contest,” Tacker said. “People have been sending in their story and their before and after picture. The winner will receive a year’s membership at Fit Life (in West Orange), a six month membership at Body Workz and a plaque.”

Each of the contestants in the weight loss challenge has faced an uphill battle but they didn’t let that dampen their spirits.

Amanda Adams, one of the participants in the weight loss challenge, wrote in her personal transformation letter: “In November of 2010, I was fortunate to be chosen for a new job. Things seemed to be turning around for me, but my health was still quite poor.

I grew up as an overweight child, fought for self-esteem as an overweight teen and finally caved to my tumultuous relationship with food and became a morbidly obese adult with a pre-diabetic diagnosis and on high blood pressure medication by age 30. I al-

OF students present agriculture program to court Penny LeLeux For The Record

The Orangefield Agriculture Issues Team used commissioners court as a practice run for a competition in Dayton on Nov. 9. Students presented a 10 minute program on the pros and cons of factory farms.

Judge Carl Thibodeaux asked if the competition was a debate.

Jessica Gates, FFA advisor and Orangefield H.S. Agriculture Science Teacher said, “You don’t choose if you are

for or against, you just present both sides.” She said subjects cover bio-tech or anything agricultural that is “big in the news or contro-

versial.”

The main con the students had was that with factory farms there was a lack of human contact that comes with a family farm. Animals are kept in tight confinement because with vitamins A and D they no longer need exercise and sunlight. According to the students factory farms produce over 2.7 trillion pounds of waste a year which is a problem for disposal, whereas the family farm use waste as fertilizer for gardens.

The pros say automation allows for larger production.

They claim it is not cruel to the animals because they have always been herded, confined and eaten.

Commissioners and Judge Thibodeaux found the program very interesting and educational.

“We told the one pig ‘hello’ every morning,” said Thibodeaux of his life on the family farm. He said they would look at the food on their plate and ask dad, “Is this Scruffy?”

Commissioner Precinct 1 David Dubose said their dad always told them no, that they traded Scruffy at the market for one they could butcher.

ways had a zest for life, but my struggle became the inner me versus my body. “ The dedication to the kind of journey is not easy, but it can be done. Adams has lost over 75 pounds and isn’t slowing down just yet.

“I’m accountable for what I eat. I workout 7 days a week,

rain or shine. On October 19, I completed 12 weeks of a high intensity training program (p90x), and I’ve spent months working on my weight and overall fitness to participate in this 5k today,” Adams said. “It is my first 5k, but I can guarantee that it will not be my last. Every day is a new

step forward. I’m making my future better. I’m doing it for myself which will in turn benefit the people in my life that love and care for me. I’m filled to the brim with the most grateful feeling for having lost a total of 75 lbs. It is possible, and I’m living proof!”

The 5K walk/run will be-

gin at 10:30 a.m. Those interested in registering can do so at www.hopeinorange.com or they can register Saturday morning at the event. Holiday in the Park will begin at 10 a.m. Those attending the 5K walk/run are encouraged to attend the festival and check out the local vendors.

Model Horse show at local venue Mike Louviere For The Record

Model horses are not always from dollar stores and bought by the bag. Showing and collecting model horses is a big bucks movement with one model horse recently selling for $18,000.

The second annual Cajun Country Live Show was held at the American Legion Post in Vinton the second annual Cajun Country Live Horse Show last Saturday and Sunday. The show is fully accredited by the National American Model Horse Show Association (NAMHSA). The object of the show is to allow the exhibitors to earn and build points to be eligible for the national show held each year.

Jennifer Moore, of Vinton, has been involved in the hobby for only four years but has already gained a national and international reputation for her ability to realistically paint model horses. Moore has sold horses to collectors in several countries including France and Switzerland. She has conducted the Cajun Live Show for two years.

“I am the only model horse builder and collector in this immediate area,” Moore said, “but I have contacts with model horse people in several states and a few other countries. Our show here is the only one in Louisiana. There are shows in the Dallas-Fort

The model horse shown at the American Legion Post in Vinton, La brought in 30 exhibitors from as far away as Florida. Saddles for the models can cost more than the owner’s real saddle.

Worth area, Okalahoma, Georgia, and Florida, just to name a few. Two years ago I started judging at shows. I really enjoy this hobby. When I had to give up riding for health reasons this became a good way to stay connected with horses.”

This year’s Cajun Live Show included horse owners from as far away as southern Florida and Oklahoma. There were a number from East Texas and the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

There were about 30 exhibitors showing over 200 horses and even a few mules.

The two major commercial manufacturers of model hors-

es are Breyer and Stone. These horses can be bought in western retail outlets or ordered by mail from several sources.

These can be used from the box or the owner can strip the paint and do a custom paint job.

Horses can also be purchased molded from resin with the neutral color and painted.

Some custom molded horses can cost hundreds of dollars as horses need to be molded in specific poses, depending on the event they will be entered in. Standards of specific breeds must be rigidly molded as well.

Judges are very critical of

paint. The patterns of a natural horse’s coat need to be duplicated in a model horse in that a real horse does not have a specific pattern or size of markings. For instance, an Appaloosa will not have spots that are all the same size or arranged in a certain pattern. A model horse should follow the same lines when being painted.

Moore does extensive research before beginning to paint a model.

“I decide what type of horse I am going to paint and then I study my reference MODEL HORSES PAGE 2A

books to see what this breed looks like in real life,” Moore said. “It will take me several hours of studying before I begin the actual painting.”

Daralyn Wallace was one of the judges at the show. She lives in College Station. She started the hobby in 1969 after reading an article about model horses in American Horseman magazine.

She has been judging for nearly 25 years. The Wallace family also has real horses.

“A model horse judge has to know a lot about every breed of horse. A judge in a real horse show may need to only know about Quarter Horses, or Paints, but in a model horse show a judge may be exposed to dozens of breeds. It really takes a lot of study and experience to be able to be a good judge,” said Wallace. “In a set up for an event, the judge has to look at the set up and determine what the horse is supposed to be doing. If the horse is stepping across rails on the ground, we have to look at what the exhibitor is attempting to show. We need to look at the diagram the exhibitor puts with the setup and see if the horse is doing what the diagram shows. We look at the position of the horse and where the hooves are and then determine where the horse and the hooves will be on the next step. If the horse if too far forward, or too far back, that will cost points.”

Collette Robertson, who has a “real job” as an emergency room doctor, is a serious exhibitor. Robertson has a photo file of real horses showing what she will exhibit. She then begins to build her horse, rider and display based on that photo. She then makes the setup at home and photographs that. At the show she takes the photo files to use when she makes the setup in the show ring.

“I am a little compulsive about my details. I want everything to be very exact. That is why I use the pictures. I can calmly set up the display at home and then when I get to the pressure of the show, I have the picture to use as a guide. It really helps me,” said Robertson.

Whatever her system, it works. Robertson has been showing for 13 years and has won 47 national titles.

Model horse collecting and showing can be as involved and as expensive as a person desires. Robertson has two incredibly detailed saddles that cost $500 apiece. To look at them is to see “Honey I shrunk the saddle,” as Robertson says. The detail of them is as accurate as possible down to the number of rivets and rings.

The dolls that are used to portray the riders and all the tack is manufactured with to a very high degree of accuracy. The position of the doll as the rider needs to be as close to real life as the exhibitor can make it.

Looking at a display set up for judging is to see reality frozen in miniature. Model horse collection is a hobby that all ages participate in and it is a hobby that the people involved take very seriously. “Don’t call them toys horses,” says Moore.

The winners from the Bridge City Art Festival contest have displayed their artwork in the Bridge City Bank until Nov. 10. The winner of the high school contest, Jacki O-dell, will have her winning piece (featured above) printed on a t-shirt that will be available for purchase soon. After the exhibit, the elementary artwork can be picked up between 4 and 5 p.m. on Nov. 10.

The bank will also host a coffee on Tuesday, Nov. 8 at 8 a.m. to honor the parade marshall which will be the Junior Little League Girls Softball team who won the state championship and placed third place in the Little League World Series.

Management Director Jeff Kelley. “It’s not much different than last week,” said Kelley. “There’s no appreciable chance of precipitation in the next seven days.”

Kelly also said there are some changes that need to be made in the Shelter of Last Resort. “The specification was not tight enough to achieve the flooring system desired.” He said to get the polished concrete floor, a laser needs to be used to ensure the level of the floor, whereas the specifications were for level concrete, just not to that degree. Kelley said it shouldn’t add a lot to the cost and will still be within the five percent leeway in the contracts. He also said it will still be cheaper than another flooring system; using tile as an example. The floor will require no waxing or maintenance, just mopping.

Bills were paid in the amount of $873,606.20 with $653,779.35 out of the general fund going to G&G Enterprises for the Shelter of Last Resort.

In open comments to the court, Jerry Wilson brought up the fact that he brought 56 documents of people that voted twice in the election four years ago to the county and no action has taken place since that time. “I put it squarely on the district attorney,” said Wilson.

He also brought up the fact that he gets charged for data from the county. “It’s sold to me by bytes,” said Wilson. According to Wilson, the Republican chair gets data free. He said he knows that from an e-mail she sent out. Wilson said he has receipts for data totaling over $5,300 and feels if he has to pay for the data, then so should the Republican Party.

Orangefield’s Japanese heritage Tiger Rock Mike Louviere For The Record

Located on FM 1135 about midway between I-10 and FM 105 is a historical maker dedicated to the Kishi Colony. The houses and barns are gone and the fields are fallow, but this was once the land that grew crops from rice to strawberries and even had a profitable, though short production of oil.

Kichimatsu Kishi was born in Nagata, Japan in 1872. He was an ambitious young man that wanted to accomplish more than he felt he would be able to in his homeland, so he left Japan in 1907 with his second wife, Fuji, and young son Taro and migrated to America.

Kishi eventually settled in the community of Terry, located between Orange and Vidor.

He had encouraged 16 other Japanese men to move to Texas and they began prepare 1600 acres for cultivation. The first order of business was to dig irrigation canals from Cow Bayou to the fields. Levees were constructed to hold the water and the plowing and planting began. In the 1908 harvest the sale of 15,753 sacks of rice weighing 200 pounds apiece brought $47,000 income to the new colony.

Salt water invaded the rice fields and they colony needed to diversify its crops. By 1920 the crop production included cabbage, potatoes, onions, corn, cucumbers, spinach, celery, tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, beets, and strawberries. It was also about this time that oil was discovered on the portion of the land near Orangefield.

The east edge of Kishi’s land was on the deep salt dome that would produce the Orange oil field boom of the 1920s. The discovery of oil made Kishi a millionaire practically overnight and enabled him to pay off all of his creditors and begin to buy more land. He would eventually own 9000 acres.

Kishi’s son Taro was college age and registered at Texas Agricultural and Mechanical College. While at Texas A&M he became an outstanding football player under legendary coach Dana X. Bible. He was a part of the teams that were football powerhouses of the time and won several Southwest Conference titles. Taro Kishi was the first Asian to play for the Aggies.

During the 1924 football season, Taro caught a touchdown pass against Baylor and returned a punt for a touchdown against Texas Christian.

In 1925 when the Aggies captured the Southwest Conference championship, Taro tore a ligament in his shoulder early in the season. He came back to perform solidly against TCU and after a reinjury he played a game against Rice, it was said he played “purely on guts.” He was considered one of the Aggies’ most consistent ground gainers of the era.

Taro graduated in 1926 with a degree in Ag-

riculture and returned home to help his father farm.

Count Kojiro Matsukata, president of the Kawasaki Dock Company had made a large investment in Kishi’s oil venture and the Orange Petroleum Company had been created. The land was leased for drilling to the Gulf Production Company, The Sun Company, and Humble Oil and Refining Company. At its peak the wells produced slightly in excess of 400 barrels per day.

Additional oil was never discovered and the wells began to slow production in 1923 and by 1925 production had nearly ceased. Financial problems for Kishi began because of the notes due on his large land purchases.

In 1924 several officers of the Japanese Navy had toured Europe and America to view the state of military affairs. Commander Isoroku Yamamoto was from the same home town as Kishi and brought his delegation to Orange to view the Kishi oil field and to see how the Orange Petroleum Company was organized and run. On his return to Japan Yamamoto tried to interest the Nippon Oil Company to consider American operations. They were not interested.

Yamamoto later became the admiral who was the architect of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

In 1925 the Orange Oil Company was no longer profitable. Kishi’s finances were so depleted that he made trips to Japan to try to borrow money to stay in operation with his farming

ventures.

After the start of World War II the remaining interest in the Orange oil properties was placed under the Alien Property Custodian and sold to the Kilmarnock Oil Company for the sum of $1.

Kishi was an American patriot. Japanese was spoken in the home, but outside the home English was the language. He wanted his son and daughter to be familiar with American customs and history and be proficient in the English and Japanese languages. Taro and his sister, Tokiko had both attended public schools and the family attended the Methodist church.

The Monday morning following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Kishi went to Port Arthur and turned himself in to the FBI. He wanted to show that he was a loyal citizen of the United States. When asked if the Emperor ordered him to bomb a refinery in Port Arthur, “would you do it?” He answered, “I am a business man and a farmer and know nothing about explosives.

Suppose I was adopted into another family and was ordered to harm them would I do it? I could not do so.”

Later the U.S. Attorney told Taro that his father “had answered all of our questions magnificently.”

Kishi was sent to Camp Kenedy, near San

Antonio for an internment period of only two months. The probable reason for his internment was due to his relationship with Yamamoto. Orange residents Lutcher Stark and J.O. Sims were quick to vouch for Kishi’s character and patriotism and requested his release.

The only other action taken was that the Kishi family had to surrender their firearms and cameras.

Fuji Kishi died in 1951, Kichimatsu died in 1956, Tokiko Kishi Hirasaki died in 1981 and Taro Kishi died in 1993. They are buried along with 20 other members of the Kishi Colony in a small cemetery located on the original tract.

Even though there are none of the buildings left from the day of the colony and not much of the land is still in use as farmland there are some majestic reminders of Kishi and his contributions to Orange County. These are the large camphor laurel trees in the area. The stones for these trees were brought from Japan

by Kishi’s 1911-12 trip to Japan. One of the trees was certified by the Texas Forest Service as the largest example of a living camphor laurel tree in Texas. After the damage from an ice storm and a drastic trimming, that tree and the others with it are once again forming a canopy over FM 105.

Democrats are supposed to dislike oil and gas production but Obama has opened up offshore production, something multiple Republican presidents and governors failed to do.

Against all odds U.S. energy policy is finally reaping significant rewards for all of us. The President’s policies have boosted the oil industry. Our energy President deserves a fair share of the credit, which in some quarters he’s not getting.

For now I’d best get going with what I’ve got. Come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm.

THE SHRINKING MIDDLE-CLASS Back in the 1970’s, I wrote about how someday the middle-class would find itself in it’s now present situation.

Then, when President Reagan fired and dismantled the air controllers, I wrote about his action being the first step in delivering a blow to labor and the working class. Through the Reagan, George H., Clinton and Geo. W. years the middle class continued to fade. The worker making $22 an hour in the 1980s has seen his hourly wage drop to $17 per hour. Through these times, the wealthiest saw their income go up 280 percent. The middle class rose 18 percent, stayed the same or fell back, not even getting a cost of living raise for several years. The middle class didn’t improve under President Bill Clinton but it was under President George W. Bush that the rich got richer and many in the middle class dropped, many to poverty level. The medium income has gone from $72,136 in 2006 to $64,401 in 2010.

Medium housing prices came down 30 percent from 2006 to present. Food costs much more and medical, dental, vision and drugs have gone up 38 percent for 2006 to present yet salaries are down. The average worker makes $100 less a week than they did in 2000 but living cost have escalated. The wealthiest one percent of Americans now earn more than the bottom 90 percent. Income, since Reagan, has shifted to the top tier of households. Back then 53 percent of the nation’s income went to the middle class. Analysts call it the middle class squeeze. The recent recession made it worse on the middle class. Employers cut work hours, froze salaries, furloughed or imposed layoffs. At the same time family assets, homes, etc went down. The really scary thing is there is no relief in sight.

Our government is in a deadlock. The United States congress refuses to raise even the smallest amount of taxes on the wealthiest Americans, who percentage-wise, pay the least and have the advantage of many loopholes, plus most traveling expenses, meals, business vacations are deducted.

If adjustments are not made and the wealthiest asked to pay their fair share, we will someday find ourselves with the middle class gone. We could end up like a third world country, with only the rich and the poor who work for them. For years now it’s been coming on. By protecting the wealthy at all cost to our economy, the vast middle has less of the pie than ever before. Unemployment holds at nine percent and there is no interest in the congress to help improve it. They absolutely refuse to even look at a plan that takes away from the rich. Another hang-up involves reducing the debt that was created in the years between 2000 and 2010, when the national debt doubled from $5.6 trillion to $11.4 trillion. They are blaming the wrong people.

The middle class didn’t profit, the wealthy did.

JUST THE FACTS FOLKS Profits climb for Exxon Mobile, Chevron and Shell.

Exxon profits increased 41 percent to over $10 billion. Other oil companies reported large profits, plus these companies receive billions in tax deductions. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones average surged to it’s biggest monthly gain since 1987.

Chrysler and G.M. showed increased profits over 20 percent. The GDP is up 2.5 percent which shows the economy is growing, not great but improving, despite a non-cooperative United State congress. In a few months unemployment would drop to below eight percent if the American Jobs Act would pass the house and the country would be back to rolling again. The Republican led congress is hell bent on not helping President Obama turn the economy around. If it was up to speaker Boehner a deal would be in place but he can’t deliver because of the Tea Party members. Meanwhile, United States domestic oil production is

A FEW HAPPENINGS Our longtime friend, Anabel Rost, stopped by to say she had been to her and Roy’s class reunion in Abbeville. She tells us next weekend is a great time to visit the Cajun town to attend the “World’s Largest Omelet Festival.” Certified chefs from around the world, France, Italy and others, come to help cook the omelet. The omelet will be prepared Sunday afternoon on Concord St. in Downtown Abbeville.*****The reason we have over one million uninsured children in Texas, doubling all other states, is simple. If you recall the 2003 Texas budget cut of $200 million from CHIP. In that same budget Perry asked lawmakers for, and received, $227 million to initiate his “Texas Enterprise Fund.” He made the choice to turn his back on the children. He could have used the $227 million to keep CHIP whole. It’s that simple.*****We spoke with our friend Doug Harrington, who is still in Houston. He will take his last treatment next Monday, Nov. 7. He can’t wait to get home after all these many weeks.***** Some special folks celebrating birthdays this week: Someone who is truly special in every way is Denise Stanton, who marks another

birthday on Nov. 3. I believe she will be 42. She’s a gifted child who is a real kick.***A special lady we have known and been involved in her life since she was 14 is Sharon Dunn, who celebrates her birthday Nov. 5. Best wishes and good health and a long life.***Johnny Montagne Jr. has his mother’s work ethic plus an engineering degree from Texas A&M. He also is married to one of Devra and Bobby Cormier’s beautiful daughters. He doesn’t need much more luck. “John Boy” is a year older on Nov. 5.***His granddad Cedric Stout, turns 90 on Nov. 7. A big celebration will be held on Nov. 4 and Nov. 5 to honor this Pearl Harbor survivor. A great guy and true hero.***Commissioner John Dubose celebrates on Nov. 6. He was quite young when we first met him. He’s a true conservative in every sense of the word. He still has the first dollor he ever earned.***Belated birthdays we just slapped missed last week. Joe Kazmar, longtime sports writer, former Little League world championsenserage golfer and a friend of many years. It’s hard to believe Joe turned 70 last Friday.***Judge Don Burgess turned 65 last Friday also.

Like Kaz, we have known him for 40 years.***Celebrating also in Oct. was 52 year old Ron Sigler. A good buddy. Happy birthday to all.*****Happy anniversary to Mary and Don Straton. They’s going to rumble on their day, Nov. 5.*****Shirley and Butch Choate celebrate on Nov. 8.*****The Wednesday Lunch Bunch will dine at Novrozsky’s this week then back to Robert’s next. Everyone always welcome.*****Herman Cain is leading Perry in a Texas poll. His backbone throughout the country is the Tea Party, who was for Palin, then Bachman, Perry and now Cain. In the end they will have to support Romney, want to are not, or they can go fishing. Perry, while running for governor of Texas last year, said he would not run for president, has now cost Texas taxpayers over $500 million in security, etc., while he runs around the country. The cost could well hit $1 billion and he won’t even be invited to be a vice-presidential candidate. He will still make plenty of money on the speaking circuit when it’s all said and done, following the Sarah Palin model that has made her super rich.*****A point of interest that caught my ear, Perry told Chris Wallace, on FOX News Sunday, that he will reduce federal funding for elementary and secondary education by 50 percent. Now that’s really what this country needs, sending education back to “Ned” in the first grade primer.*****Grim news for oyster and seafood lovers and also seafood restaurants. Red Tide has killed three million fish. It doesn’t kill oysters but the algae in their flesh can poison anyone who eats them. For now, harvesting shellfish off the Texas coast is banned. A lot of rain freshwater is the only savior.*****CREAUX’S TIP OF THE WEEK: Place fabric softener sheets in dresser drawers and your clothes will smell freshly washed for weeks. You can also do this with towels and linens.*****CAJUN DEFINITION: Tasso, (tah-soh) strips of spiced pork or beef which are smoked like jerky and used to flavor many dishes. A sort of Cajun pepperoni. Tasso can be found locally at Robert’s, Danny’s or K-Dans. Try it, it’s great in anything from beans to gumbo.*****Well, I have to comment on the World Series. I still believe the Rangers were the best team. St. Louis wasn’t even the best team in the National League.

They backed into the playoffs as a wild card but they had that Cinderella thing, destined to win. The baseball angels wouldn’t let them be denied. In game six the Rangers twice came within one strike of winning it all. That was probably the best baseball game I’ve ever watched. Tony LaRussa, who announced his retirement, is one of the great coaches of our times.

CELEBRITY BIRTHDAYS On Nov. 2, K.D. Lang will be 50; Nelly, 37.***Roseanne Barr will be 59 on Nov. 3; Dennis Miller, 58 and Kate Capshaw, 58.***Sean “P Diddy” Combs will be 42 on Nov. 4; Kathy Griffin, 45 and Matthew McConaughey, 42.***Bryan Adams will be 52 on Nov. 5.***Rebecca Romijn will be 39 on Nov. 6; Sally Field, 65 and Maria Shriver, 56.***John Mellencamp will be 60 on Nov. 7; Christopher Knight, 54.***Bonnie Raitt will be 62 on Nov. 8; Mary Hart, 61; Tara Reid, 36 and Jack Osbourne, 26.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Note from Cuzzin Sostan Dear Cuz, Me, I wanted you to know dat da utta night I was watching FOX News and you guvaner, Rick Perry, was on da tv. He said to save da U.S. economy, dat wen he becomes Prezident he will order da immigration department to start deporting old people instead of illegals, in order to lower Social Security and Medicare costs. “Old folks are easier to catch dem, and dey will not remember how to get back to dere homes,” he said. “I started crying me wen t’ought about you.” See you on da bus, Your Cuz Sostan C’EST TOUT It’s throw Herman Cain overboard with a long ago sex scandal and Perry will be the beneficiary. Rick is a lucky guy, plus he has $17 million to spend. Rush Limbaugh and the Tea Party, after leaving Perry, will come back to him if he doesn’t appear to be drunk. They just don’t want Romney. Cain supposedly said some off color things to a couple of women back 20 years ago. It might be hogwash but it sells. It will knock him out of the V.P. spot.*****We were sorry to see our longtime friend and employee Al Deroche retire. He has called on the business trade for The Record for the past 14 years. At 84 years old he still had a great work ethic. His wife Helen’s health is failing so he’ll stay home with her. He won’t be happy not working; he’s worked since he was 8 years old. He retired from Gulf after 30 years and became a contractor, then a sales executive. We wish him the best and thank him for the years.*****Don’t forget to turn back your clock Saturday night. Savings Time starts at 2 a.m. Sunday morning.***** My time is up, thanks for yours. Read us cover to cover and look the ads over for great bargains. Take care and God bless.

National Bank Transfer Day set for Nov. 5 Staff Report

For The Record

When Los Angeles art dealer Kristian Christian created a Facebook event page calling for bank clients to protest high fees and move their accounts to credit unions, she didn’t expect to create a national movement.

A few days later, her page went viral, garnering national media coverage. It now has over 59,000 followers. What started as a small business owner’s frustration has now become a nationwide event, National Bank Transfer Day, and is set for Saturday, Nov. 5.

Credit unions across the U.S. have already begun preparing for National Bank Transfer Day. Locally, DuPont Goodrich Federal Credit Union has decided to open all its branch lobbies on Nov. 5 and extend their hours from 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

They are also offering $50 to anyone who opens a checking account with a debit card.

“We have so much to offer; we’re willing to pay people just to experience the DuGood difference,” President and CEO Jada Kelley said.

Kelley continued to elaborate on the “DuGood difference,” stating that many of the credit union’s products and services are either free or low cost.

She also pointed out that many people are unaware that mem-

Fund Raising effort on Saturday, Nov. 12 at the Bridge City WalMart, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Many patriotic items will be available. Funds raised will help us in our effort each year to send a boy from each local high school to the American Legion’s Boys State Program held for a week in Austin.

This past summers participants were Cody Banken from Bridge City and Robert Ehrlich from Orangefield.

We also provide Blue Star Banner Certificates and Flags to family members of local residents currently on active duty in the military. We look forward to speaking with all local Veterans who are potential members.

We hope they will join us in our wonderful patriotic-fellowship and other activities.

Any veterans interested in joining our group, or to answer any questions are urged to call either Commander Mike Reilly at 883-4753 or Adjutant Arlene Howland at 409-745-3427.

If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation, please send to “American Legion, Bridge City Post 250,” PO Box 1561, Bridge City TX 77611.

bership at most credit unions is open to the community. For example, membership at DuGood is open to anyone who lives, works, or worships in Jefferson, Hardin, Orange, or Jasper counties. People no longer have to be associated with a particular business or trade.

The Credit Union Difference With so much happening in the financial industry, even the most savvy consumer can get confused. What is it that makes credit unions so different from banks?

Not-for-Profit- The earnings made by a credit union are returned to their members in the form of lower loan rates, higher interest in deposits, and lower fees.

Ownership- Credit unions are an economic democracy. Each member has ownership and one vote. A member’s influence is not determined by the amount of money he or she has deposited.

Volunteer Boards- Credit unions are governed by a board of directors, elected by and from the credit union’s membership.

Board members serve voluntarily without pay.

Social Purpose- All credit unions are united by the philosophy of “people helping people.” This philosophy creates fierce member loyalty and drives many credit unions to become involved in charitable activities in their communities.

Boating Safety Courses Have Benefits Staff Report

For The Record

Navigating a boat is much like driving a car. Safety lessons and courses can make the captain of the vessel a better sailor.

Handling a boat properly and safely is something that comes with practice. Safety courses can make boating more enjoyable for all involved.

Many organizations offer boating courses. Private companies, state agencies and the U.S. Coast Guard may have a safety course a boater can join. These courses will cover a variety of aspects on general boating and safety procedures.

They often involve hours of classroom instruction. There may be a test at the end of the course and a certificate of completion issued. Some courses may be given right on a boat, offering first-hand experience. Browsing the course description can yield information as to which type of course is being offered.

An advantage to taking a boating safety course is that some insurance companies, much like they do with drivers who complete defensive driving courses, will offer a discount to boaters who successfully complete a recognized course in boating safety.

One of the main advantages to completing a boating safety course is that it can help a person save lives. Research indicates that in Florida alone 85 percent of boating fatalities involve boaters who have not taken a boating safety course.

Some states now mandate individuals complete a safety course before they are allowed to operate a water vessel.

Boating safety courses will cover a host of topics, including basis boat operation.

Other topics include: seamanship navigation general safety personal flotation devices first aid and emergency protocol rules of the open water water survival techniques weather safety

responsible boating It’s important to find a reputable class for boating safety.

One backed by the USCG can offer the up-to-date information boaters may need. Visit the USCG online at www.uscg. mil to find a listing of recommended courses.

I wanted to share this recipe with you.

As much as I love to cook, I tend to put so much into the entrée and side dishes, that who has time for a dessert? Therefore, I have a select amount of dessert recipes or should I say a select amount that I will cook? I have lots of recipes. Presentation means a lot to me. This cake recipe is so perfect for this time of the year and it makes people think you are just so intelligent for making it. Which you are of course very intelligent, it just simply enforces the fact. All you do is get a couple of 12cup bundt pans or just repeat the recipe over again. Remember your oven has to fit two bundt pans if you choose to make two at one time. Perhaps you have a double oven or bake it at your friend’s house.

Stack them up and frost them, then put an upside down on ice cream cone covered with green frosting and BAM! it’s a pumpkin cake. How neat is that? Happy eating!

For each cake (double ingredients since you are going to make two bundt cakes) ¾ cup of canola oil, plus more for the pan 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp kosher salt ½ tsp. baking soda

3 large eggs ¾ cup of granulated sugar ¾ cup dark brown sugar 1 15oz. can pure pumpkin ¼ cup of whole milk 2 tsp pure vanilla extract 2 medium carrots, coarsely grated (about 1 cup) 1 cup walnuts, chopped For the Frosting: (no need to double this) 4 8oz. pkgs. cream cheese at room temperature 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature 4 tsp pure vanilla extract 6 cups confectioners’ sugar Orange and green gel or paste food color 1 flat-bottom wafer ice cream cone Make the Cakes and frosting 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Lightly oil a 12-cup (10 in.) bundt pan, then dust with flour. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, salt and baking soda.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, sugars, pumpkin, milk and vanilla.

Add the egg-oil mixture to the flour mixture, mixing until fully incorporated. Mix in the carrots and walnuts.

3. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake until a wooden pick inserted in the cake comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Let the cake cool in

the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Rinse out the pan and repeat to make the second cake (if not cooking at same time).

4. After the second cake has cooled, using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth. Add the confectioners’ sugar and beat until fluffy Turn them into a pumpkin Cut each cake in half horizontally. Spread ¾ cup frosting on the bottom half of each cake and sandwich with the tops. Transfer ½ cup frosting to a small bowl and tint green.

Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a writing tip such as a number 3 and set aside.(cut out small corner of zip lock bag and go up and down to

cover cone if pastry bag not available) Tint the remaining frosting orange. Place one cake rounded side down onto a serving platter. Spread the top with ½ cup orange frosting and sandwich with the remaining cake, rounded side up.

Frost the entire cake with the remaining orange frosting.

Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, using the green frosting, pipe lines vertically over all sides of the wafer cone to cover; refrigerate until ready to use. Crumple a piece of foil into a loose ball, insert it into the center of the cake, and place the frosted cone slightly at an angle on top to resemble a stem.

‘Shrek the Musical’ is almost here. The Record had the opportunity to speak with Merritt David Janes, who plays Lord Farquaad on Tuesday. “He’s what we call the vertically challenged villain in Shrek,” said Janes. “He’s about 3’5” and I’m about 5’10” so the way we do that is I’m on my knees the entire show in a contraption that is very similar to something a catcher might wear in a baseball game.”

Janes is in his second month with the show.

“I’m having a great time.”

“I’ve been acting most of my life,” said Janes.

This is not his first venture into Orange. “We were here with ‘Beauty and the Beast’ last year.

We really loved the Orange audience, they were fantastic and we’re looking forward to another fantastic turnout,” said Janes.

In ‘Beauty,’ Janes played Limiere, the candlestick. He said the actress playing Fionna in ‘Shrek’ was last years Belle.

“All the tours I have done have been different, but for this one, this is just a fun, funny part. I’ve never played a role that was purely comedic,” he said. “Limiere was a comedic role, but it had other things. This is more in you face. I’m this ridiculous little villainous man who is just pure evil.”

This is one of their busiest weeks. Janes said they are going through four cities. “We average eight shows a week.”

Janes said one of the great things about trav-

eling with a show is the different audiences.

“You have the same show you do, but everywhere responds to it differently. Southern audiences have a lot of energy, especially the ones we play in Texas.

“Texas has this unique energy about it. They really know how to whoop and holler and have a good time. That’s one of my favorite things about Texas. People laugh at different parts, but it always has a great energy to it and its a really fun show.” Janes said the show brings out the different senses of humor that exists in different parts of the country.

Janes says he loves to do any kind of theater and would also like to do a film, at some point.

“I’m a songwriter as well. I enjoy doing a lot of different creative things. I think it’s important to keep yourself busy that way.”

“Shrek the Musical” hits the Lutcher Theater stage this Sunday at 3 and 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online at www.lutcher.org or call the box office at 409-886-5535.

“I want everyone to know that this is a fantastic musical. It may not be the first one people think of, given all the fantastic musicals that are out there. If you pick this one, your really gonna be happy, because everybody that we’ve talked to all over the country just loved it,” said Janes.

“There’s something for everyone. We’ve got stuff for the adults, stuff for the kids, everybody is going to have a great time if they come to see the show.”

‘THE RECORD’ HOMETOWN HIGHLIGHTS

Cardinals defeat Hamshire-Fannett 35-14

B

JOEY ENCALDE FOR THE RECORD

The Bridge City Cardinals improved to 7-2 overall, 3-1 in district, and moved one step away from the playoffs with a convincing win over the Hamshire-Fannett Longhorns 35-14. The Cardinals will face the Orangefield Bobcats this Friday as they play in the annual Bayou Bowl. The game will start at 7 p.m. at the Orangefield High School.

The Cardinals scored their first touchdown on a four yard run by Hunter Clark after a fumble recovery by Dylan Sams. With 9:48 to play in the first quarter, Daniel Faulk made it 7-0, with his extra point.

Clark struck again with five seconds left in the first quarter with a one yard TD run, bringing our score to 14-0 after Faulk’s PAT. On the Longhorns first drive of the second quarter Malachi Busby recovered a fumble that led to another Cardinal touchdown.

Matt Menard hit Cameron Dishon on a 20 yard TD pass, and with the PAT, the score was 21-0 with 8:46 left in the half. The next five possessions for both teams would end up in punts, to go along with one turnover on downs. The Cardinals took their 21 point lead into the locker room.

The Cardinals made it 28-0 on their first dive of the second half. Hunter Clark scored his third touchdown of the night on a seven yard TD run.

Tyler Roberts received an assist on the touchdown making a nice long run on the drive, breaking several tackles on his way down the seven yard line.

Faulk added the point after.

Roberts would then stop Fannett’s next drive with an interception, but the Longhorns would get it back with an interception of their own. The Longhorn’s would finally get

Kaz’s Fearless Football Forecast HWEST ORANGE-STARK over HARDIN-JEFFERSON—The Mustangs will clinch another District 21-3A championship if they win the final regular-season game on the 2011 schedule Friday night against the Hawks. The key for the ‘Stangs is to continue to improve and to keep everyone healthy for the playoffs.

HNEDERLAND over LITTLE CYPRESS-MAURICEVILLE—It would be a shot-in-the-arm if the Battlin’ Bears could pull off an upset in this season finale against the Bulldogs, who have won their first outright district crown since the mid-1960’s. If that doesn’t happen, let’s hope the Bears at least have something on which to build for next season.

HBRIDGE CITY over ORANGEFIELD—This game—the Bayou Bowl-- has always been a war and Friday night’s encounter at F.L. McClain Stadium in Orangefield should be no exception. A Cardinal win will put them in the playoffs while the Bobcats must win by at least seven points to earn a bid in the post-season.

HVIDOR over LIVINGSTON—This is a big order for the Pirates, but it certainly would make their trip to the playoffs much more memorable with an upset win in the last regularseason game.

Senior Quarterback, Matt Menard, throws a pass before being tackled by a Hamshire-Fannett player.

on the board with 36 seconds left in the third quarter with an eight yard TD run, cutting into the lead, 28-7.

The next two possessions would end up in scores, one for each team. Menard found Dishon again on a 20 yard TD pass, Faulk adding his point, for the last Cardinal score of the night. H-F put a 58 yard drive together ending in a 14 yard TD run, bringing our score to where it ended at 35

for the Cardinals and 14 for the Longhorns.

West Orange is sitting atop the district at 4-0. Bride City is in second at 3-1, with Orangefield and Silsbee at 2-2. Hamshire Fannett is 1-3, with Hardin Jefferson looking for their first win. Playoffs start early for the Cardinals this week with the Bayou Bowl against cross town rival, the Orangefield Bobcats.

Same thing as last year, the

HDEWEYVILLE over HEMPHILL—The Pirates have had an up-and-down ride through the District 10-2A Division II schedule this fall and a big win in the season’s finale would jump-start the program for next year.

HORANGE COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN over ALVIN LIVING STONES CHRISTIAN—The Lions would like to end the regular season on a positive note before embarking into the state playoffs.

Bobcats will have to spot the Cardinals some points. The Mustangs are in and have clinched the division II, number one seed. The Cardinals can clinch a berth into the state playoffs with a win or a loss by less than seven points against the Bobcats. The Cardinals can also clinch with a Silsbee loss to Hamshire-Fannett.

MUSTANG INSIDER MERI ELEN JACOBS For The Record Visiting Tiger Stadium is not something that the Mustangs really look forward to.

Besides the fact that it usually rains before or during the game, causing the fields and sidelines to be extremely muddy, Silsbee, and the referees, usually put up a big fight.

The Mustangs will face the Hardin Jefferson Hawks at home Friday night. The Hawks (1-8, 0-4) are coming off of a 34-7 loss to Orangefield. HJ is lead by quarterback Jared Gieske, tailback Jeremiah Richard and receivers Austin Orrenmaa and Dylan Vannoy.

And true to life, that is ex-

actly what happened this past Friday night. Only this time, unlike last, the Mustangs walked away with a 24-13 victory and are one step closer to being crowned district champs.

“I’m proud of the kids,” Head Coach Cornel Thompson said.

“That’s two weeks in a row that we have given that type of effort and we were mentally ready for both games.”

The Tigers started off the scoring on their second possession when quarterback Patrick Reed hit a wide open Floyd Spearman for a 53-yard touchdown. Garrett Drake’s PAT was good and the Tigers were on the board, 7-0. The Mustangs, however, answered back when Derrick Ledet caught a 24-yard Jimmy Salter

pass. Jerquis Beasley’s PAT was good and the score was knotted at 7-7 at the end of the first quarter.

Silsbee didn’t let the tied score stop them as they pulled down deep and chanced it on fourth down from the 36.

Backup quarterback Drake was able to surprise the Mustang defense by showing up uncovered in the middle of the field, snagging a Reed pass and putting six more on the board. His PAT, however, was no good.

The Mustangs answered the call with just 19 seconds left in the first half when Salter followed Lindsey right around the left side and leapt into the end zone to tie the score. But Beasley’s kick was good and the Mustangs were up by one

to head into the locker room at the half.

This only fired WO-S up and coming out in the second half, they were able to hold Silsbee scoreless, while putting up ten points of their own to win the game. One of the interesting plays of the game came after the Mustangs were on the six inch line and were called for a personal foul, moving back to the 15-yard line. Silsbee’s defense forced the Mustangs to kick a field goal. The attempt was blocked and after falling into two Silsbee defenders hands, ended up in the hands of Mustang Travon Blanchard, who happened to be over the goal line.

The Bobcats can get in with a seven point, or more win against the Cardinals. They also can get in with a win against the Cardinals, and a Silsbee loss or even a loss against the Cardinals, and a loss by Silsbee by more than two points. The Bobcats won the game last year but did not advance because of the point system.

So it’s early playoffs for both team. Should be another barn burner. Let’s make it easy, just win and you are in. Speaking of winners, it was a nice senior night for all. Congratulations to all our band members, our cheerleaders, especially our seniors and how about those STRUTTERS?

LCM Bears fall to Livingston, 35-0 MIKE LOUVIERE FOR THE RECORD

The Battlin’ Bears took on the Livingston Lions in “The Jungle” Friday night and the Lions skinned the Bears 350. The win put the Lions in a three way tie for second place in district 20-4A with the Vidor Pirates and the PNG Indians. The Bears dropped to 1-5 in district and 4-5 for the season.

Next Friday the Bears will host the Nederland Bulldogs.

Nederland’s win over Ozen clinched the first place slot for the Bulldogs. This is the first time in 46 years that Nederland has had a clear first place title.

Livingston so completely

dominated play that the Bears were held to only 130 yards total offense. The Bears gave the game a great effort, but seemed to be outclassed by the Lions speed and ability to hit hard when they needed to.

The Lions first score came in the second quarter when Devon Barnes made a two yard run that took him across the goal line. Later Kyle Neal crossed the line to put another six on the board. The two good kicks made the score 14-0 at the half.

The clock was ticking at 10:16 when the Lions took possession of the ball on the 41 yard line. Nine plays later Lions quarterback Collins would make a good pass from the 21 yard line to give the Lions another TD. With a good

kick the score was 21-0 with 5:43 left in the third quarter.

Jonathan Rodgers brought the ball to the 45 yard line to start the Bear’s possession. On the first and ten play Brilon Douglas gained about one half yard. After three more plays with only a slight gain in yardage, the Bears were forced to punt.

The Lions took the ball with 4:46 on the clock and kept both possession and control for the rest of the quarter.

They let the clock run out to end play in the third.

Seven plays into the fourth quarter with 9:30 on the clock the Lions scored again. After a good kick across the uprights the score was 28-0.

The Bears first play in the fourth was also the best of the

game. Kyle Herfurth made a 33 yard pass to Jordan Harmon. On the next play Preston Armstrong caught another good Herfurth pass to put the Bears inside the 40 yard line.

On the sixth play of that possession, Herfurth was sacked for a loss of 12 yards.

The Lions took over with eight minutes on the clock. With 6:52 on the fourth quarter clock the Lions scored again and put the score at 35-0 after the PAT. The Bears made one more effort, but after the fourth down the ball went to the Lions for the rest of the game.

The Lions seemed to have a combination of speed and power that was just too much for the Bears to overcome.

MARK WALLES FOR THE RECORD

The Orangefield Bobcats (5-4, 2-2) will be facing the Bridge City Cardinals (7-2, 2-2) this Friday night at F.L. McClain stadium in Orangefield with a playoff spot on the line.

Orangefield is entering the contest fresh off of a 34-7 victory over the Hardin Jefferson Hawks and a two game winning streak while Bridge City comes in following a 28-14 win over the Hamshire-Fannett Longhorns.

The Bobcats traveled to Sour Lake last Friday to take on the Hawks (1-8, 0-4). The Hawks won the coin toss and elected to receive and it was all Orangefield after that.

The Bobcats continued to use what has worked for them all season, the ground game. Orangefield had a total of 59 rush attempts for 349 yards and one pass attempt that fell incomplete.

Sterling Deslatte had one 40 yard punt for the evening.

Leading the way on the ground for the Bobcats was Carl Wiley with 104 yards on 16 attempts plus a 52 yard kickoff return.

The Bobcat defense held strong for the evening, holding the Hawks to completing six of 14 pass attempts for 75 yards and only 74 yards on the ground.

This Friday night brings a match up that closely mirrors last years game.

NCAA trying to make its athletes better students KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAMAR FOR THE RECORD

Last Thursday the NCAA’s Board of Directors approved at its quarterly meeting in Indianapolis new guidelines in an effort to clean up its scandalplagued image.

According to an article by the Associated Press, the board approved a package of sweeping reforms that gives conferences the option of adding more money to scholarship offers and schools the opportunity to award scholarships for multiple years, imposes tougher academic standards on recruits and changes the summer basketball recruiting model.

“It was one of the most aggressive and fullest agenda the board has ever faced,” NCAA president Mark Emmert was quoted by the AP. “They moved with dispatch on it, and I think they’re taking positive steps for schools and student-athletes.”

For decades, outsiders have debated whether college scholarships should include more than just the cost of tuition, room and board, books and fees, the AP article stated. Now they can.

The NCAA board approved a measure allowing conferences to vote on providing up to $2,000 in spending money, or what the NCAA calls the “full cost of attendance”.

Emmert insists it’s not “pay-for-play,” merely the reintroduction of a stipend that existed for college athletes until 1972. He also compared it to the stipends received by students who receive “non-athletic scholarships”.

I remember when I was on a baseball scholarship at McNeese State in the early 1960’s there was a thing called “laundry money” which was a small stipend that went with the package.

Many believe the measure is long overdue. “I think it needs to happen or else I think what’s left of the system itself is going to implode,” said Ohio University professor David Ridpath, past president of The Drake Group, an NCAA watchdog. “We’ve always lost the moral high ground by saying the educational model is what makes this thing go.”

The AP article said schools must infer the cost of additional funding and it will have to be doled out equally to men’s and women’s athletes because of Title IX rules.

While BCS schools have the money and are expected to swiftly approve additional funding, it may prove too costly for nonBCS schools.

The NCAA board also approved a measure giving individual schools the authority to avoid scholarships on a multiple-year basis. Under the current model, those scholarships are renewed annually and can be revoked for any reason.

If adopted, schools could guarantee scholarships for the player’s entire career and would be unable to revoke it based solely on athletic performance. Scholarships still could be pulled for reasons such as poor grades, academic misconduct or other forms of improper behavior.

In August the NCAA board approved raising the four-year Academic Progress Rate (APR) cut line from 900 to 930 and linking it to eligibility for post-season play. On Thursday, it passed a four-year plan to phase in the new requirements.

The AP article pointed out that UConn’s men’s basketball team could be the first to feel the impact. After posting an 826 last year, a UConn official said this year’s mark will be about 975. It would give Connecticut a two-year score of 900.5 and a four-year score of 888.5—too low to make the NCAA basketball tournament.

Beginning in 2012-13, teams must hit 900 on the APR over four years or have an average of 930 over the two most recent years to be eligible for postseason play. In 2014-15, teams must have a four-year score of 930 or a 940 average in the two most recent years.

In 2015-16, everybody has to hit 930, no exceptions. There will be waivers and appeals, though they will be kept to a minimum.

The board also agreed to include the APR cut line in bowl licens-

ing agreements, making it enforceable in football, too.

Schools that miss the APR cut line could face reductions in practice time, game reductions, coaching suspensions and restricted NCAA membership.

Beginning in August 2012, high school seniors will need a 2.3 Grade Point average (GPA) in 16 core courses, instead of the current 2.0 GPA and must complete 10 of those classes before their senior year.

Junior college transfers would need a 2.5 GPA and can count only two physical education credits toward eligibility. Students that meet the current standards but not the new ones will be given an “academic redshirt” year in which they will be on scholarship and can practice with the team but cannot travel or participate in games.

The NCAA board also instituted a new summer basketball recruiting model. Instead of having 20 evaluation days in July and none in April, coaches will have four evaluation days in April and 12 in July.

In addition, coaches will be allowed more contact with their players during the summer, with details to be worked out. The change also means coaches can make unlimited calls or send unlimited text messages to prep recruits after June 15 at the end of their sophomore year.

The NCAA board also received an update from another working group that is working on the penalty structure for infractions. The group intends to propose four categories of infractions, instead of the current two, and to establish guidelines for sanctions based on each set of violations.

The group is expected to make recommendations in January, with a final vote possibly coming next October.

KWICKIES…Sunset Grove golfer Ernie Dyer got a hole-inone recently on the 143-yard Par 3 No. 12 hole. This was Ernie’s second ace in less than a year. He used a seven-iron and was playing with assistant pro Kerry Lamb.

The Dallas Cowboys showed their true colors Sunday night when they were beaten in every phase of the game by the Philadelphia Eagles, who have never lost the game right after a bye week. It was obvious the Eagles worked the entire two weeks on the Cowboys’ weaknesses, which proved to be numerous. Their biggest weakness could very well be their new loud-mouthed defensive coordinator Rob Ryan who preaches a much better game than he teaches.

It’s hard to believe that on two occasions in Game Six the Texas Rangers were one strike away from being the world champions and the St. Louis Cardinals came through with clutch hits both times to tie the game and then win it in the 11th inning.

This turned out to be one of the best World Series ever.

Saturday night’s big game between No. 1 LSU and No. 2 Alabama doesn’t occur very often this late in the season and should have a massive audience. The first five teams in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 College Football Poll are unchanged with No. 3 Oklahoma State, No. 4 Stanford and No. 5 Boise State.

Oregon moved up one notch to No. 6, Oklahoma leaped four slots to No. 7, Arkansas remained No. 8 while No. 9 Nebraska and No. 10 South Carolina each jumped four places this week.

Undefeated University of Houston moved four spots to No. 14 and is the only school from the Lone Star State in this week’s poll, while Texas, TCU and Texas A&M all received votes.

The Houston Texans solidified their hold on first place in the AFC South Division with a 24-14 victory over Jacksonville Sunday at Reliant Stadium in Houston. The Texans (5-3) host the Cleveland Browns (3-4) and travel to Tampa Bay (4-3) before having their bye week.

JUST BETWEEN US…It looks like Orange County will be well-represented in the state high school football playoffs that begin after the regular season ends this weekend. The West Orange-Stark Mustangs, Vidor Pirates, Orange Community Christian and either the Bridge City Cardinals or Orangefield Bobcats will earn a berth in the post-season playoffs.

For Wives And Girlfriends Only CAPT. DICKIE COLBURN FOR THE RECORD

As a rule, regardless of how good the fishing has been, any time a cold front moves through the area we lose a few days to the wind. A day or two prior to its arrival, the wind howls out of the south only to switch around and blow equally hard for another day or two out of the north.

In some instances, an excellent bite is put to rest simply because the wind renders the lake unfishable. If the wind blows hard enough, the bayous and marsh drains send dirtier water into the lake and water clarity becomes an issue. While last week’s front was not a blue norther, it significantly lowered the temperatures and roughed up the open lake up pretty good

for a couple of days.

In this case, however, the bite was so good that we hardly missed a beat and we continued to catch fish right on through the two windiest days. We were forced to fish protected shorelines along the ICW and in the bayous, but the trout, redfish and flounder bit as though nothing had changed. We had one very good day and one so-so day on the reds, but we easily limited on trout each day and added some nice flounder to boot.

By Saturday morning we were right back out in the open lake along with a lot of other folks and the gulls were back on the job as well. Everyone has their favorite lures and colors, but we did make one change that has produced more redfish and larger trout since the passage of the front.

Thank you for your contribution to Breast Cancer Awareness! ~ Essie L. Bellfield ~ If you can’t afford a mammogram, please call 1-877-720-4438.

& C B s t Supponr Bayou OF i l 2011 Bow The slot reds are doing their thing in the lake.

Cpt. Dickie Colburn

When we were able to get back out in the open water we discovered that there was a very distinct color change in the water about two miles into the lake. Because the dirtier water encompassed the area that we had been doing so well in prior to the front, we were initially afraid that we would have to wait for it to clear back up to catch fish.

Rather than just write it off, we experimented a little and found out that all it took was a different color plastic tail to get the bite going again. We had been doing very well in the clearer water on glow chartreuse, roach and bug juice, but a switch to pumpkin-chartreuse and red shad or strawberry with a white tail solved the dirty water problem. The silt has since settled out and the lake is clear again, but you might want to file that away for a muddy water day in the future!

I have to catch a lot of fish on a certain lure or color before I am willing to concede that it truly makes a difference, but I am convinced that we are not only catching more reds, but larger trout as well fishing five-inch paddle tails whether they be the DieDapper or the Flats Minnow XL. I undoubtedly catch more fish on the four-inch versions, maybe because we just fish them more, but the longer paddle tails have ruled the roost for the past two weeks.

After getting literally bombarded last January by a number of loyal male readers, I promised them that I would make mention of some more preferred Christmas gifts in time for their better halves or closest relatives to buy them something they really wanted. One week before Christmas was apparently not early enough time.

The less expensive of the two “can’t miss” gifts is one of Frogg Togg’s new Toad Skinz rain suits. They are constructed of a thicker material than the Classic suits and the jacket is tailored to protect you from wind and rain alike. The bibs rather than the conventional pants are the only way to go for fishermen as you don’t have to worry about the jacket riding up when you bend over to net your fish.

I have worn the classic suits for years, but the Toad Skinz series suit is much more practical in that you don’t have to wear nearly as much clothing underneath to stay warm. I don’t know

Misty Walters 395 Texas Ave Bridge City Tx, 77611

From Previous Page if it will ever rain again, but they are a fisherman’s best friend on those long cold boat rides. You can order them from Bass Pro Shops or just go on line at froggtoggs.com.

If you are even fonder of your favorite fisherman or fisherwoman, I would suggest that you may want to buy them a Laguna rod for Christmas. I just started using them this year and I have never fished with another rod that was lighter or more durable and I have fished with just about everything out there.

Each model in their line-up is a difference maker for even the most novice of anglers.

Here’s the deal. If you decide to spring for one of these rods (the cost is around $300) you need to order it as soon as possible if you want it to be an even more personalized. The folks at Laguna will wrap your rod, at no extra cost, in his or her favorite team colors whether it be LSU, Texas, A&M, TCU or whatever. I mention those school colors only because I have already seen at least one of each and they are beautiful!

I do not feel comfortable recommending a specific action or length in a bass rod, but you can’t go wrong by buying your saltwater fisherman a 6’6” Texas Wader I or Texas Wader II. He or she will eventually add the other one to their arsenal, but either of the two is a great choice. You can go on line and order direct, but the fastest and easiest route is to drive over to Daley’s Fish N Hunt on Jade Ave. in Port Acres and let them order it for you.

They are about five minutes west of Central Mall.

It won’t cost you a penny more and even more importantly, Daleys will warranty it over the counter should he or she slam it in a car door or run over it with the truck. I don’t believe you can break them under normal use after watching mine survive a day on the water with a couple of ten year olds. They also have a very good selection already in stock should you decide too late to order one in a special color.

Okay fellows, so there you have it. I have kept my promise and the rest is up to you. Open your copy of the Record to this page and leave it on top of her phone or under her car keys, but it’s up to you to get this in front of the loved one that can make it happen. I’ve already got fish scales on my Toad Skinz and Lagunas so a new shirt is the best I can hope for this year!

WOS Mustangs From 1B signaled a touchdown but as WO-S lined up to kick the extra point, the head referee called an official time out and 10 minutes later, the TD was taken away and Silsbee got the ball on the 20- yard line.

Even though they were a little discouraged because of the penalties, only a few plays later, after moving the ball down the field on the legs of running back Britton Lindsey, Salter was able to hit pay dirt again to put the Mustangs up, 21-13.

The Chain Gang stuffed Silsbee every time the Tigers had the ball and in the fourth quarter, Beasley was able to hit a field goal from 23 yards out to put the game out of reach.

Lindsey hit the 1000 yard

mark during the game after rushing for close to 200 yards.

“We have one more game and we want to continue to execute on offense and defense going into the play-offs,” Thompson said. “We’ll play our game this week and let the chips fall where they may. We don’t want to make any mental errors.

“We are looking forward to finishing up our regular season at home Friday. I tell the kids that senior night is kind of like Homecoming. We can’t let outside forces distract us.

For The Record

Although the Sacrament of Confirmation generally occurs during the early teenage years of a child’s life, the church actually considers it the second part of the Sacraments of Initiation, which encompass Baptism, Confirmation and Communion. During Confirmation, individuals become “more perfectly bound” to the Church.

There are certain traditions that are followed during Confirmation ceremonies. The Sacrament must be officiated by a bishop and it also involves laying of hands and anointing.

Many people think that the laying of hands is the centerpiece of the Confirmation ceremony. This gesture signifies the descent of the Holy Spirit. In actuality, the anointing of the confirmand with the Holy chrism, an aromatic oil, is actually the main component of the sacrament. Chrism is a consecrated oil that is used to seal the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit safeguards the confirmand just as this same oil anoints a person during baptism.

As with other sacraments, Confirmation should be received in a state of grace. If the confirmand receives the sacrament later in life and not directly after Baptism, as has become the norm in Western cultures, then the person should confess sins prior to receiving the sacrament.

The Sacrament of Confirmation serves several functions according to the Catholic Church: Roots people more deeply in the divine filiation [as children of God] Unites individuals more firmly to Christ.

Increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit in people Renders the bond with the Church more perfect Gives Catholics a special strength of the Holy Spirit to spread and defend the faith by word and action as true witnesses of Christ, to confess the name of Christ boldly and never to be ashamed of the Cross.

Youth Weekend provides great preview for season opener CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE

For The Record

Absolutely perfect conditions greeted hunters of all sizes this past weekend as the youngsters took center stage during the annual Texas Youth Weekend hunt.

Crisp temperatures that covered most of Texas gave hunters a welcome break from heat and mosquitoes while hopefully providing a preview of the upcoming general season that gets underway this weekend. Judging from this past weekends results the general season opener looks very promising for all of those chasing either deer or ducks.

On Saturday I had the pleasure of taking Jack and Chad Dallas of Orange on their very first duck hunt. Both of these young hunters had already spent time in a deer blind with their dad Tony so hunting was not completely new to them even though neither one had ever been on a duck hunt.

Both Jack and Chad were wide eyed as we fired up the outboard in the dark and ran by the light of a Q-beam to our blind in the marsh. As the boat slid up to the bank and stopped my son Hunter jumped out and helped the boys unload our gear and start setting out the decoy spread.

While Hunter made the final adjustments to the spread we immediately started getting buzzed by early flying ducks. As a matter of fact several birds actually lit in the decoys while we were still setting up. As the early morning show continued in the minutes before legal shooting light we had a safety talk so everyone understood the rules and knew what was expected.

Careful communication and attention to all

Orangefield Wins If Bridge City wins, they are in the playoffs, if Orangefield wins, they have a shot at the playoffs but several different factors come into play.

Both teams lost to West Orange-Stark, Orangefield by three points, and Bridge City by five points.

Bridge City beat Silsbee by six points, Orangefield lost to Silsbee by eight points.

Silsbee lost to W0-S by 11 points.

It takes a slide rule to figure out the point dif-

the safety details possible is a must, especially when you have folks new to the sport. With our talk complete there was nothing left to do but sit back and enjoy the show.

As the sun just started to turn the sky those colors you can only see from a duck blind the birds began to work and both Jack and Chad were hooked. First a group of gadwall made a nice descent into the spread followed by some widgeon. Those birds were quickly backed up by several groups of green winged teal. The action was steady and the birds cooperated for most of the morning so that in itself was memorable.

The highlight of the hunt had to be the first bird for Jack, a nice blue winged teal that decoyed just like you imagine. Even though we killed plenty of ducks none will be as memorable as that first bird. Hunters of all ages can always recall their first duck or deer with a fondness that never ever goes away, the memory is special and at the same time permanent. I felt very privileged to be a part of the whole event.

The ride back to the dock was a fun one as the boys could now see where they had traveled in the darkness. Several packs of powdered donuts and Gatorades were consumed as the young hunters celebrated their first trip like only boys can. It was exactly the kind of trip that Youth Weekend is designed for, an opportunity to get new kids involved in the sport and keep kids already involved coming back. A very successful hunt all the way around in my book.

Speaking of opening weekend, I know plenty of folks are running around making last minute preparations for Saturday. I made a pass by

From Page 3B ferences and how much Orangefield would have to win by and what Silsbee would have to do for Orangefield to make the playoffs, but it is possible.

The only sure thing this Friday night, the 2011 version of the Bayou Bowl should be exciting, and the outcome could mean Jubilation and disappointment for both teams. Kickoff is 7 p.m. in Orangefield. Can you say “Deja Vu” again?

Daley’s Fish “n” Hunt this past week and you could certainly tell the activity level was a little higher than normal. Keith and the good folks at Daley’s have now ventured into the hunting market and have some really good stuff to choose from.

The local waterfowl hunters will really enjoy the supply of G and H decoys they carry along with the best prices on steel shot anywhere in the Golden Triangle. It’s really nice to go into a locally owned store that carries items specific

to our area.

Keith told me they were trying to keep plenty of the decoys that most local hunters use, gadwall, teal, and pintails along with some goose decoys. Daley’s has quickly become a hub where many hunters and fishermen congregate so along with any supplies you need you can always catch up on a report as well.

Hopefully this weekend will be good for all who decide to hunt or fish. Be sure to enjoy it and be safe as well.
