BC Cardinal mascot is thankful for fans she made up and knowing the hand and feet movements the cheerleaders do to the school song. Once she was chosen as the mascot, then she had to learn how to work in the costume. Each move is more exaggerated than a person without the costume such as the hands going higher, she said.

Haley Duhon, 17, a Bridge City High School Senior, knew as a freshman there were “bigger” and much “redder” things in her future. Duhon is often seen at football games and other events and loved by many. Duhon is the Bridge City school mascot, Big Red. Duhon started out in the band playing the flute. She also was a member of the color guard. But, she wanted to move on to bigger things and tried out to be the mascot. “I’ve always wanted to do it and once I was no longer in the band, I decided to try out,” she said. Tryouts consisted of a skit
Since Texas temperatures can reach scorching heights in August when football season starts, the inside of Big Red is “very, very hot.” Duhon wears shorts and a T-shirt. But, she is covered from head to toe with the costume. Cooler temperatures offer some relief from the heat, but during the playoff game in Chan-
nelview, Duhon was cold. She still had to wear shorts under the costume and the cold winds seemed to go straight through, she said. After a long day and she begins to get tired, the head of Big Red seems to grow increasingly heavy. DUHON PAGE 3A

The loss of a loved one is tough, especially during the holiday season. However, a chance to honor and remember them while sharing a little holiday spirit with others will occur at the Hillcrest Memoial Gardens when luminaries are placed on the headstones. Dan Naegelin, manager of Claybar Cemeteries and Family Service Manager for Claybar Funeral Homes, is gearing up for the event on Dec. 1. It will start at 3:30 p.m. with a service and at 4:30 they will light the luminaries. More than 4,200 luminaires will light up the night sky. “Please participate and help us light the candles for your loved ones and neighbors,” Naegelin said.

Cops out in force for holiday season Staff Report
For The Record
Law enforcement is gearing up for the holidays to protect the citizens on the roadways and in the city. Many travelers are expected to hit Texas roadways for the Thanksgiving holiday. The Texas Department of Public Safety would like to remind every driver to be safe on the roads during the long holiday weekend. All distractions endanger the safety of the driver, passengers and bystanders. Texting while driving, driving while impaired and drowsy driving are all dangerous driving behaviors that make the roadways unsafe and even deadly for some drivers. Before getting behind the wheel, it is best to turn the cell phones
off, designate a sober driver and make sure the driver is well rested to ensure the safety of all motorists traveling this holiday. DPS Troopers will be patrolling throughout the holiday weekend to promote safety. During the Thanksgiving weekend in 2011, Troopers in Jefferson and Orange counties investigated 21 crashes and three of those crashes were alcohol-related. The Thanksgiving holiday should be a safe and joyous time, said Trooper Stephanie Davis. Major Sparky Robinson, of the Orange Police Department, says they adjust their manpower to “beef up” patrol to ensure the safety of everyone in residential areas as well COPS PAGE 3A

County eases traffic jams at Bailey Road bridge
Debby Schamber For The Record
Orange County Commissioners voted to put new parking signs on Bailey Road in Bridge City to allow better access for emergency vehicles and others traveling the road. Currently there are signs stating no parking on the bridge, but people are parking too close to the bridge possibly inhibiting fire engines or police vehicles needing to get to the residence and business further down the road. “Currently we do have some no parking signs up on the bridge but people are taking that too literally and just park-
ing right at the very ends of the concrete slab,” said County Engineer Clark Slacum. “That’s still within the limits of the guard rail of the bridge and really, we need them to stay far enough back they’re not impeding traffic flowing through.” The new signs will state no parking between signs and will be positioned near the end of the guard rail on one side of the bridge and further down, past the boat ramp on the other side. It should allow better access to the boat launch that is at the foot of the bridge and the bridge itself. “If we can just keep people back out of that area, then they

We don’t have a set time, but technically a week or two, or sometime three weeks, we warn people and let them get used to it. I would like the
flexibility on this, if we could, also,” said the sheriff. There was no opposition to the measure. Newly elected County Court at Law Judge Mandy WhiteRogers was bonded with approval from commissioners’ court. Commissioners also approved the purchase of Abacus Law software for White-Rogers at the cost of $4,985, which is an unbudgeted item. “I recommend we purchase this under the capital outlay contingency [fund]. That’s what it is for,” said Orange County Judge Carl Thibodeaux. “I realize we’re trying to minimize expenditures this year. There’s always a question of an unbudgeted item, however, I think the worst thing this court can do is hamper a new County Court at Law judge that just got elected and has ideas of how to run her court and how to improve the services of the court.”
Luminaries holder and sand, and a lighter will be provided. In addition, there will be refreshments as volunteers, workers and attendees share this special moment and take the time to talk about their loved ones who are at the cemetery. “For some it is the roughest time of the year,” Naegelin said. “But, this will give them an opportunity for friendship and fellowship.” Naegelin started making memories with the use of luminaries at cemeteries 25 years ago in Savannah, Georgia. He expanded to include a town near Gulfport, Miss. 12 years ago. “When I pulled into this place, I knew it was a good place to do it,” he said. After talking to Brown and Warren Claybar about the
This is a onetime purchase with a yearly maintenance fee which should be less than $1,000 for all users of the software combined. Commissioners also approved the exit inventory for County Court at Law, Judge Pat Clark; whom White-Rogers will replace. Clark had decided to sit in on commissioners’ court, while waiting on the completion of paperwork. In an impromptu moment, he thanked the court for all the assistance they have given him during his 38 years of service to the county.

idea, they immediately looked at this as a way to compliment the annual Memories and Miracles program which is a program for Claybar Funeral Homes to give back to the communities who have help support the Claybar family for generations. Naegelin hopes this will become an annual event. He thinks the candles will burn long into the night until after midnight when they will burn out. The next day, cemetery employees and volunteers will dispose of the luminary remains. Volunteers are welcome to come at 8 a.m. Dec. 1 to make sure each of the gravesite has a luminary. Roy McDonald, maintenance director. is engineering the process to make things go
smoothly. Naegelin says he has “no ulterior motive” to put the luminaries out, but the process gives him a chance to kick off the holiday season properly and from an emotional standpoint, just to “give back.” “This is a way for us to get to know the many families that have loved ones in Hillcrest Memorial Gardens,” Naegelin said. “We look forward to seeing each of you as we help to make this Holiday Season special.” In the event of bad or windy weather, an alternate date of December 8 has been scheduled.

course in the United States for hurricane awareness. It’s taught by the meteorologists of the National Hurricane Center,” said Emergency Management Director Jeff Kelley. It is by invitation only and Valenciano is one of only four individuals invited from the State of Texas this year. “You only get one invitation and you only get to go once,” said Kelley. He and Thibodeaux have both attended the course previously. It is an unbudgeted item, but the Orange County Local Emergency Planning Committee will fund all non-reimbursable expenses, which would include air fare and hotel expenses. The trip will be no cost to the county. The court wishes everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving holiday. Parks Director Donna Scales said Claiborne West Park will be open on Thanksgiving Day.

I’m thankful for . . . Penny Leleux
For The Record
Thursday is Thanksgiving, the day many people give thanks for all the blessings in their lives, big and small. Some choose to observe what is called 30 Days of Thanks. For the entire month of November, many on Facebook break down their blessings on a Snyder daily basis. Here are just some of the thoughts of Orange Countians, current and former and one Trekker of note. Sherri Skiles: “I’m so blessed that I get to spend this Thanksgiving with both of my kids and their spouses, my Mom and Dad, my stepdaughters, the Smith grandkids and my daughter-in-laws family; and don’t forget we even get to have our four legged family with us too!” Nicole Gibbs: “I’m thankful for the many blessings we have received. These past few months have been some of the hardest we’ve ever faced, but God has taken care of us and carried us through.” Scott Lawson: “Thankful for Grace…Mercy…the voice within; thankful for good music. It can take you anywhere!” Janet LeLeux: Day 13: I am thankful for my brother. He doesn’t judge me, he laughs with me, he helps talk me through mistakes I’ve made so I learn, he appreciates that I am “freakishly strong,” and he always reassures me that when times are tough, he is there for me. He is an incredible man. Jason, you have always been one of my hero’s, and I know we don’t always get to talk much, but, I love you more than you will ever know… I am truly thankful for you being exactly… you. - Sis Day 15: Music.... I am extremely thankful for music. It is a huge part of my life. Just because I don’t play anymore doesn’t mean I have forgotten it. It helped me get my education...it helps me through rough times… it helps me celebrate great times.... it will always be something I cherish. Day 19: thankful for unexpected texts that just make any type of day 1000 X’s better! Lou Burgin: “I am Thankful that I do not work in retail because then I would have to leave my house on ‘Black Friday.’” Vickie Foreman: “Family, Friends, Fellowship and Food!” Brenda Lund: “I am thankful for God, my
Alayna George and family.
family and my friends.” Michael Walles: “My loving family, NOT being in Iraq anymore, a warm bed to sleep in every night, that I don’t have to walk out into a dust storm to go pee... That four years will be over soon.” Donna Stagner: “I am so thankful my three nephews have grown up to be very fine young men. We are blessed. Happy Thanksgiving!” Alayna Walles George: “My amazing, loving, awesome family! Without family, the world wouldn’t be worth living in!” Michael LeDoux: “I’m thankful for the family I have around me.” Gabby Snyder: “I am thankful for the continued encouragement, patience and love my husband and daughter have given me while I manage the best lil flea market in Texas-Orange Trade Days!” Terri Havens Smith- “I am thankful for a wonderful son who is full of personality and lives his life to the fullest. I also have a wonderful daughter-in-law and two amazing grandchildren. And last buy not least....I am grateful for my sanity.” Jan Davis Manshack summed her thanks up in one work… “Heaven.” Even though George Takei, who is most known for the character of Sulu on Star Trek, is not from Orange County, his post of thanks was well worth noting. “I have lived through five wars. I know that what we should give thanks most of all for is peace in our time. And we must always work, and hope, for peace for all humankind.” May you have a peace filled Thanksgiving as you enjoy food and fellowship with friends and family in the land of the free. Don’t forget to include those fighting to keep our freedom in your blessings for a safe journey home, soon.

seen taking pictures with their favorite mascot. When the band starts and the cheerleaders begin to dance, Big Red, with pom-poms in hand, is always ready to join in and cheer the Cardinals on to another victory. A recent trip to a gym in Nederland is also a fond memory. Duhon along with other area mascots and cheerleaders met with a group of special needs teens. Together they laughed and cheered. Although, some were afraid until she took off the head of the costume. Then, it was all smiles. “It was awesome,” she said. Football season is over, but fans will still get a glimpse of Big Red. She will make appearances at various events. Her job as a mascot will “probably” end with high school. After graduation, Duhon has plans to attend the University of Texas to be a biology/pre-med major with hopes to become a doctor. But, for now, Duhon will answer the calls by the fans for Big Red. “Let’s go Big Red! Let’s go! “

Duhon thankful to fans Being Big Red can have dangers as well. Duhon was standing on the sidelines watching the game. Suddenly, a football player came charging towards her. She was unable to move and froze as the action moved toward her. However, the player seeing he was about to hit Big Red successfully swerved to miss her. “I was nearly tackled,” Duhon said. But, no matter all the problems with being Big Red, she absolutely loves it. “It’s really awesome,” she said. Her favorite memory is that of an adoring fan at a football game. During the game, as Duhon approached the stands, as she often does, a young boy would often come down to shake hands or get a hug. Throughout the game he would yell to her, “Hey Big Red! .” He also yelled, “I love you! “ Some of the children are afraid of Big Red, but others can’t wait to shake her hands or have their picture taken with her. Everyone from little girls in cheerleader outfits to little boys with dreams of becoming a football player know who Big Red is at the games. Even adults are

From the Creaux’s Nest A LOT TO BE THANKFUL FOR When you look at circumstances around the world, countrymen killing each other, women treated like slaves, the economy in shambles and the leaders at the top skimming most of the money, you realize how really fortunate we are to be Americans. We have our disagreements on the direction our country and state should take but our constitution guarantees us that right. We don’t have to take up arms. We have just come through a hard fought presidential campaign that sets out a clear mandate. I feel optimistic about the country making great gains in the coming years. First and most importantly is dodging the so called fiscal cliff. The direction of the stock market is hinging very much on that cliff issue. Monday’s bullish action on Wall Street is what I expect if the cliff is avoided. Stocks soared, driven by encouraging signs that President Obama and the gridlocked Congress will compromise in time to avoid the economic fallout if automatic tax increase and spending cuts kick in on Jan. 1. A recession is certain and jobless rates would go over nine percent. The major problems is if the Republican controlled congress, even against the wishes of their speaker, digs their heels in again about the super wealthy having to give up their Bush tax benefits and insist on no new taxes on the wealthy. We could easily go over the cliff. The President ran on the wealthy paying their fair share and he has a mandate so that could be the impasse. It could really be bad. However, the congress would be blamed. That’s why I’m optimistic. Each individual congressman’s future hangs in the balance. They run every two years. There comes a time when you cut your loses and millionaire friends loose. Here at home we have weathered the worse, our county and all of our municipalities are on solid ground. Texas, because of our location, oil industry and work force, will continue to grow and prosper. My main concern in our state is the state of our education, with $500 million cuts last year and more cuts predicted. As prosperous as we are, we shouldn’t be at the bottom of the education chain. I wish the best for you and yours. Have a nice Thanksgiving. Now I’ve got to move on. Please come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm. ROMNEY EXPOSED BY GOP LEADERS Talk radio and FOX News were trying to sell an empty suit. Several Republican leaders are now saying about Mitt Romney, what we had been saying all along. When Romney refused to release more than two years of tax returns, breaking with standard practices, he either had something to hide or he believed he was above those rules. When he made the 47 percent remarks about that percentage of the population who believe they are entitled to health care, food, housing, etc. and added he was not concerned with that 47 percent, we said that Mitt had shown his true colors. A lot of people shrugged his comments off and voted for him anyway. Then came his “gifts” comment. Romney said, “Obama won with gifts to certain voters.” That verifies what Romney really represented in his bid for the presidency. When he called programs like Obamacare free health care in perpetuity, a $10,000 a year gift to every family. Ironically, that is the opposite of what he and his surrogates said on the campaign trail. They said Obamacare would cost each family $6,500 a year, and add a trillion dollars to the deficit in ten years. I even heard Con. Kevin Brady say that now we learn that Obamacare will cut the deficit by $88 billion. Romney, in his latest release also said “amnesty” for the children of illegal immigrants is a “gift.” That indicates. through his good fortune, his lack of understanding of what constitutes the real America he never had to live in. He doesn’t understand programs that are necessary for the function of our society. A clue to everyone about who Mitt is came from his rivals in the GOP primaries. Newt said, “Romney would say or do anything to be president.” I believe that the name Romney, listed with George Washington, Abe, Reagan and others as the 45 president was his goal, not governing. He was going to leave that up to Paul Ryan, Eric Canter, Karl Rove and others domestically. John Bolton, the Bush gang, and John McCain, an American hero, who is now a bitter old man, and others would call the shots on foreign policy. I believe we are better off looking down the road where in four years we can make a fresh start, with a slate of new choices in both camps. For now I believe both parties should work to advance the country. Their goal to defeat Obama is no more.

A FEW HAPPENINGS Last Thursday, the folks at St. Mary’s Catholic Church put on their big gumbo dinner. The brew was Larry David’s award winning gumbo. Dr. Rod Fisette was one of Larry’s helpers. Taking part in the dinner were too many Cajuns, Italians and mix breeds to mention. The ladies prepared special jellies and other goodies. The annual event was a big success. As to me, someone felt sorry for me and made some available for take out.*****Our buddy and former Record employee, Chris Farkas, traveling from Jacksonville to Austin, stopped by. He took in some Catholic gumbo, which he said he misses, he also admitted he misses all Cajun cooking. He’s been in Florida 12 years. He planned his vacation so he could attend the Formula One U.S. Grand Prix being held in Austin on a new $400 million track. Austin was hosting the first U.S. Grand Prix since 2007. Chris planed to attend all three days, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.*****Saturday Earl Thomas, of the Seattle Seahawks, held a winter coat give away. The food, music and 300 coats given to youths in need were made possible by the Earl Thomas Faith Family and Friends Foundation. Earl is a great, compassionate, young man who believes in giving back to the community that raised him. Last year, Earl gave away turkeys
to everyone in need of one. Earl graduated from West OrangeStark in 2007, went to the University of Texas and was the number one draft pick by Seattle.*****Someone told me that Warren Landry, Orange Carpet boss, is a brand new granddad. Congrats, I don’t know the particulars except the kid was born n Dallas.*****A few folks we know celebrating their special day. On Nov. 21, Joel Steirman turns 69.

Our longtime friend attorney H.D. Pate and Lamar’s Butch Campbell. A few years separate them.

I’ve lost track of him since the store was sold but wherever he is I wish him a great day.***Pretty Kim Hubbard celebrates on Nov. 24, also Debbie Hughes, who holds that Hughes operation together, also longtime friend Howard Morse, former owner of Big Red Pantry and Bridge City Bank board member, turns 89. Happy birthday and best wishes. Lana McCracken, Serena Simonton and Joel Gilbert also celebrate on Nov. 24.****D.J. “Ace” Amodeo celebrates a great big one on Nov. 26. Also celebrating on this day is a young man and great guy Eric Andrus. Joining them is Taryn Hubbard, Dana Bryant and district attorney John Kimbrough, jack of all trades, former football ref, and now a football caller man for Stelly. John also predicts college football game outcomes. By the way, his latest pridiction was a probable UCLA win over highly favored USC. He was right. I was waiting for a biggie, like Baylor over Kansas St. Happy birthday John.***Our friend, Russell Dillow, owner of the local Sears store, who has a great sale going, will turn a year older on Nov. 26.***Celebrating Nov. 27 is Sharon Gregory, former beauty queen, longtime television broadcaster, now in Florida and the daughter of June and the late Fred Gregory.***Betty Simonton, Cindy Huckabay, Bobby Adams and Shirley Kogas also celebrate on this day.***A very big happy birthday to all the above.*****Extra special thoughts to our friend Bobby Taylor, who for over a year has fought cancer at M.D. Anderson. Now treatments at M.D. have ceased. Bobby threw away most medicine, changed his diet, began exercising and today is doing much better on his own. That’s something to be thankful for. In fact, on this thanksgiving Day, Nov. 22, he celebrates his 78 birthday. He has the blessing of his life in his beautiful wife Barbara and on Nov. 24 they will celebrate their 53rd anniversary. Congrats. Now there’s a beautiful Thanksgiving story. The guy refused to die and he’s good to go for another few years.*****It will be a nice thanksgiving at the Dunn house. Amber is home for a few days from Cleveland, Ohio. Home cooking and Gulf Coast seafood is always a treat when she gets back to Texas.*****Debora Harmon drove down from Colorado to spend the Thanksgiving holidays with mom and dad, Betty and Corky, and the family. When in town, Debora always makes it a point to visit friends. She keeps up with our little part of the country on line at TheRecordLive. com.*****Also in town to attend the big Bendy reunion held Saturday was Bobby Hoosier, a 1976 BC grad, who has made his home in California these past years. He was accompanied by his wife and two children. Bobby is the son of Frances and “Tonker’ Hoosier. Many other folks have some of their offspring coming home to be with family. Let us know about some of your folks who were home for the holiday.*****Congrats to WO-S on their 57-0 win over Cleveland. The Mustang defense has gained a full step in quickness and peaking at just the right time. WO-S, 11-0, meets West Columbia, 8-3, in Channelview on Friday at 6 p.m. with a good offensive showing, the Mustangs should move on. The “Stangs” defense is 3-A’s best.*****Congrats also to the Orange Community Christian Lions on their first playoff win in just their second year of football. Coach Larry Spears’ Lions defeated S.A. Castle Hills, to advance in the playoffs. The C.C. Lions take on Brazospoort Christian at Lake Jackson, Nov. 24, in the next round.*****Congratulations to Coach Stump’s Bridge City Cardinals and to Coach Jeff Mathews and his Vidor Pirates on their good seasons. We thank all the seniors for the memories and are now looking forward to the next season.*****We ran into Steve Worster, a great guy, who has a lot of pride in his community. Steve is so down to earth that it’s hard to believe he was an All American high school player, who gave Bridge City two trips to the state championships. Steve also was an All American at the University of Texas, winning a national championship. Steve reflecting on Coach Darrel Royal’s death, said he was just a down to earth country boy from Oklahoma. He said, “I was just an 18 year old away from home for the first time in Austin, a big change for a small time boy. Coach Royal was like a father to us in every way. He really cared.” Steve said they were student players, different from today. I agree, some freshmen going to college to play football now have agents.*****The Wednesday Lunch Bunch will not gather this week and will be at Novrozsky’s next week. Everyone always welcome, it‘s a great time for fellowship.*****Matt Bryant’s Atlanta Falcons beat the Arizona Cardinals 23-19. Bridge City’s Bryant kicked three field goals for the win. A 51 yarder, a 28 yarder and a 48 yarder. Matt made 11 points in the win.*****Wade Phillips, Texan defense held on for a 43-37 win over Jacksonville in overtime.*****The Dallas Cowboys, in a game that wasn’t broadcasted locally, beat the Browns 23-20 in overtime CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Toby Babineaux, him, came running into Tee-Boy’s Bar and Grill and he say to his buddy, Joe Comeaux, “Joe, Joe, somebody done jus stole you pickup truck from da parking lot.” “Da hell you say, Joe replied. “Toby did you see who did it you?” Toby, he scratch his head and say, “Joe, I jus couldn’t tell for sure, but I got da license number me.” C’EST TOUT The Orangefield school board is making a fresh start. Sitting in those hot seats now are Jesse Fremont, Dr. Ron Risinger, Bo Henley and Brad Frye. After some ups and downs and controversy in the recent past, the citizens of the school district hope they have drawn four aces. It looks to me there might be a Jack-ofDiamonds in that bunch. The foursome were sworn in Monday night. Congrats and good luck.*****The Farmers Market at Big Lots is shutting down Wednesday evening for the season. If you want some fresh grapefruit and oranges call John Heard at 409988-5231 for directions.*****A true American story, Procter and Gamble turns 175 years old. Globally P&G’s products are used by 4.5 billion consumers. The company employs 126,000, in 75 countries, and P&G brands are sold in 105 more countries. Among their blockbuster brands are Tide and Pampers. My memory goes back a long way to when we quit using grandma’s homemade lye soap and got to buy store-bought soap. It was a large white bar of P&G soap. So I’ve traveled much of that 175 years with P&G.*****During the next few weeks you will be hearing some good news about David Self Ford. Great folks to do business with.*****Well, I stopped by Muddy Water Marina and Ike picked out two dozen large crabs for me. I’m going to highly season some boiling water and drop them in, then sit down and enjoy. Ike always keeps fresh, live crabs. Gotta go now. Have a nice holiday. Take care and God bless.
The Record • Week of Wednesday, November 21, 2012
Booze, Mangoes, and Dead People It’s over. ‘And in more ways than one,’ remarked one of the old boys during lunch the other day, referring to the election. He pretty well summed up all our feelings on the subject. I’ll make no bones about it. I was disappointed in the outcome of the election. I still find it hard to believe that my conservative values are now in the minority in this country. On the other hand, when I look around at the state of welfare today; the garbled mass of new regulations being put on us, I don’t guess I should be too surprised. Thomas Jefferson said it a lot better than I ever could when he proclaimed that ‘democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.’ Maybe if it were just welfare, social security, Medicare, and Medicaid, we could get a handle on it, but when you add deliberate waste of tax money to the entitlements, then the country’s asking for trouble. There’s one guy who takes the time to point out this waste, Senator Tom Coburn, M.D, from Oklahoma. On your 1040 tax return, have you noticed the little box that asks if you want to give $3.00 to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund?
Your insignificant three bucks morphs into over thirty-five million by the time all the returns are in. This year, according to Senator Coburn, $17.7 million was given to each major political party for its convention to help pay for the stage construction, confetti, balloons, food, and booze during the three or four day affair. That’s $35 million of our taxes for wild parties. If the high rollers want such a gala, let them dig into their own pockets, not mine. Why not let the Super PACs pay for the bacchanalian event? Really, what was the need for them? Was there any question Obama would not be chosen as the Democratic candidate? Or Romney the Republican? That’s the reason I never check that box. If I have to pay taxes, I want it to go to the general fund. (where Congress will find other ways to waste it) According to Senator Coburn, in 2009, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) undertook a fouryear, $90 million effort to spur hiring and sales among Pakistani businesses. You read right. Pakistani businesses. To hell with U.S. small businesses struggling in the recession. Let’s help foreign countries, which I might
GOACC names Daryl Dorman Student of the Month
add is simply an extension of the present administration’s intent. Two years later, the USAID Inspector General found ‘no measurable increases in sales and employment in four of five product areas the USAID had targeted, leather, livestock, textiles and dates’. The agency then abandoned its efforts on those products and focused on funding the fifth product area, mangoes. Mangoes! Can you believe that nonsense? So, how did the mango production project go? It failed. Why? Good old bureaucratic planning. It seems like of the thirteen farmers picked for the mango project, only one had received the promised equipment, but could not operate it because of a design flaw. And to add insult to injury, the bungled project hurt the farmers by forcing them into default on loans they had taken out against expected sales that now would never take place. Ninety million down the drain. It gets worse. Over the last five years, the federal government has sent $601 million in retirement and disability payments to deceased former federal employees.
That’s right. In a September 2011 report, the Inspector General for the U.S. Office of Personnel reported that every year for the last five, payments averaging $120 million have been paid to dead people. In one example, wrote Senator Coburn, an annuitant’s son cashed his death father’s checks for thirty-seven years. The only way the Office of Personnel learned of it was when the son died. Now if that doesn’t illustrate just how cumbersome and ineffective large government is,
maybe the next example will. What do you think about the government wanting to spend $398 million on a bridge to nowhere. The Gravina Island Bridge was to connect Ketchikan, Alaska to Gravina Island, which had 50 residents so they would not have to use the ferry any longer. How about almost a million for generators for Vietnamese villages so the University of Pennsylvania State could research ‘the causal link between television and family formation and reproductive health?’

I don’t even know what they’re talking about, but they got over $700 thousand to do it. There are hundreds of more examples of government waste, spending our taxes for frivolous nonsense. Yep, the election’s over, but not our troubles. rconwell@gt.rr.com ht t p://w w w.kentconwel l. blogspot.com/ www.goodreads.com/author/show/13557.Kent_Conwell w w w. a m a z o n . c o m /- /e / B001JPCK26

Battle those low rates with three types of income If you depend on fixed-income investments for at least part of your income, you probably haven’t been too happy in recent years, as interest rates have hit historic lows. Nonetheless, even in a lowrate environment, you can broaden the income-producing potential of your investment portfolio. However, before taking action, it’s helpful to know what the near-term direction of interest rates may look like. The Federal Reserve has stated that it plans to keep short-term rates at their current historic lows until at least mid-2015. The Fed doesn’t control long-term rates, making them somewhat less predictable, but it’s still likely that these rates will rise sooner than short-term ones. In any case, rather than worry about something you can’t control – that is, interest rate movements – try to focus on those things you can accomplish. And one achievable goal is to create an investment mix that includes three types of income: variable, reliable and rising. Variable income investments – Some variable income investments, such as certificates of deposit (CDs), offer significant protection of principal, and the value of your investment won’t change with fluctuating interest rates, provided you hold your CD until maturity. Of course, current rates are quite low, which means CDs provide you with little income today, but their rates have the potential to rise along with short-term interest rates. Reliable income investments – When you purchase reliable income investments, which can include individual bonds, you have the opportunity to earn more income today, and more consistent income over time, than you’d typically get from variable income investments. However, you will likely also experience greater price fluctuations as interest rates change. Specifically, as interest rates rise, the price of your existing bonds typically will fall. Rising income investments – When investing for income, you’ll want to keep at least one eye on inflation – because if the Karen Collier interest rates paid on your CDs and individual bonds are lower Financial Advisor than the annual inflation rate, you may lose purchasing power. If this gap persists over time, it could grow into a real problem for you. Consequently, you’ll want at least some of your investment income to come from rising income investments, such as dividend-paying stocks. Of course, not all stocks pay dividends, but with the help of your financial advisor, you can find companies that have paid – and even increased – their dividends for many years running. And if you don’t actually need the dividends to supplement your cash flow, you can reinvest them to build your ownership stake in these stocks. Keep in mind, though, that companies can reduce or discontinue dividends at any time. Also, remember that stock prices will constantly rise and fall, so the value of your principal could decline. As you can see, all three types of income-producing investments – variable, reliable and rising – offer some benefits, along with some risks of which you need to be aware. But putting together a mix of these investments that’s appropriate for your individual needs, goals and risk tolerance may help you boost the productivity of the “income” portion of your portfolio – no matter what’s happening with interest rates.

Geraldene Davis Bates Orange “ W h o can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies.... Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness….Her children arise up and call her blessed.” Geraldene Davis Bates passed peacefully and gracefully to her eternal home on Nov. 18, 2012, surrounded by the love of her family. It is fitting that she went to be with her Lord and beloved parents on Sunday, a day of joy and rest; and during the week of Thanksgiving, as she possessed a heart of gratitude and lived life with a perpetual song of thanks. A Celebration of Thanksgiving for Geraldene’s life will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 21, at Community Church in Orange. She was born July 6, 1938, in Orange, to William Edes “Bud” and Lucille (Lormand) Davis. Her family and friends are thankful for the example she set in embodying her Christian faith by loving all who were fortunate enough to cross her path. She saw no distinction in social class, status, race, age, gender, or creed. She acted as Christ taught and cared for the sinners and saints alike, although she did show a mild preference for the “sinners.” She rooted for the underdog and showed special tenderness to those who were struggling through life’s challenges. Her greatest gift was to naturally see worth and value in every human being and somehow reflect it back to them through the mirror of a pure and loving heart. She saw God in every soul she encountered. Geraldene lived a life of thankfulness and found joy in simple pleasures: tending flowers, sipping coffee, attending children’s birthday parties, dancing a waltz, helping friends, putting on something shiny, clipping and mailing newspaper articles, playing Scrabble, attending church, cooking gumbo, singing karaoke, and of course, delivering a perfectly-timed punchline. She especially loved her daily routine of reading, writing, and study. Geraldene possessed a passion for learning. Her study
space made a perfect semicircle around her favorite spot, the worn and well-used corner of her cozy sofa. She found contentment in beginning her day surrounded by her laptop, coffee cup, Bible, journal, periodicals, reading glasses, and stacks of books. Her friends and family are most thankful that she put her faithful study into practice. For as passionate as she was about learning, she was even more passionate about people. She happily put down her Bible or pen if someone needed a ride, a meal, a dollar, a hug, a shoulder, a laugh. Geraldene felt it an honor to help a person in need. She did not judge, but merely saw a need and joyfully responded to it. For that, all who knew her are eternally thankful. Preceded in death by her parents and several beloved aunts and uncles, Geraldene will remain in the hearts of her children, DeLisa Bates, Kelli Bates, Brandon Bates; granddaughter Jordan Bates; her close friend, former husband and father of her children, C. Delle Bates; sisters Dottie Droddy, Carolyn Gorby, Maggie Reynolds, all of Orange; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

As original cast members of Broadway’s Jersey Boys, The Midtown Men took the world by storm in one of the biggest hits of all-time. Now they are together again becoming rock stars in their own right. Tony Award winner Christian Hoff, Michael Longoria, Daniel Reichard and Tony Award nominee J. Robert Spencer have taken their sensational sound on the road once more, bringing to life their favorite “Sixties Hits” from The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Motown, The Four Seasons and more. Set lists typically include, “Let’s Hang On,” “Working My Way Back to You,” “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do,” “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “Happy Together,” “Candy Girl,” “Time of the Season,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Sherry.” Currently on the road selling out venues on their 2012-13 US headlining tour – which will cover 77 cities from coast to coast and have included stellar performances in front of an 85 piece symphony orchestra.

The original version of the track was written and produced by Van Zandt (founding member of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, producer, arranger, record producer, actor, writer, human rights activist, and international radio DJ) and was recently given a rocking new arrangement for The Midtown Men. Not only did Stevie create a new arrangement of this classic holiday tune for The Midtown Men, but he also plays guitar on the single with musicians from the E Street Band.

KOCB searching for community projects Keep Orange County Beautiful has access to limited funding to assist the cities of Orange County, or the county itself, in disposing of abandoned tires dumped on the side of the roads. Such a project provides a discernible environmental benefit of providing proper disposal of these tires and reduces health threats associated with illegally dumped tires. These dump sites can become breeding grounds for mosquitos and rodents that carry diseases, plus tire fires can result in the contamination of surface water, ground water and soils. Funds may also be available to clean up trash dumps on public property.

THE MUSTANGS Meri Elen Jacobs Mustang Insider For The Record
T
he Mustangs put on their most complete show of the season this past Friday night when they hooked up with the Cleveland Indians and walked away with a huge 57-0 victory. The Mustangs scored in almost every way possibleoffensive passing and rushing plays, an interception, a kickoff return, a blocked punt and a safety, while the defense also had their best outing, holding the Indians to just seven yards of offense and one earned first down. “It was good to win our first play-off game,” Head Coach Cornel Thompson said. “There were several 5A teams picked to win that got beat last week but we were focused and did our job and got after them pretty good and won big.” The Mustangs were firing on all cylinders from the opening kick-off. Kicker Rodickson Cano kicked to the Indians and the returner was immediately tackled for little gain. After a three and out by the Indians, the Mustangs took the ball and quickly scored. The touchdown by Quentin Tezeno was called back for holding, but the Mustangs hit pay dirt when quarterback Jimmy Salter hooked up with J’Marcus Rhodes after the penalty for a 41-yard touchdown pass to put the Mustangs up, 7-0, after a good PAT by Cano. “The offense did a good job executing even though we were a little worried about the size of Cleveland’s defensive line,” Thompson said. The Chain Gang defense forced another Cleveland three and out and after a short six-yard punt by the Indians, the Mustangs had great field position and were able to score again pretty quickly with another Salter to Rhodes pass. It didn’t take long for the Mustangs to score again when Salter took the ball and ran it in from just nine yards out just seconds before the end of the first quarter. Defensive back Travon Blanchard stunned the Indians when he intercepted the ball on the first play of the second quarter and took the ball 31 yards to the end zone to put the Mustangs up, 27-0.

ORANGE COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN (9-2) over LAKE JACKSON BRAZOSPORT— The Lions started slowly in their playoff game Saturday and trailed San Antonio Castle Hills First Baptist during most of the first half, going into the locker room at the intermission holding a slender 20-19 lead.

Mustangs move on the rest stay home Chris Menard - For The Record The 2012 playoffs are in full effect and things can change quickly for any team fortunate enough to earn a berth. The week started with three teams from our 3A district, but just like that, only two remain. Bridge City is out; West Orange-Stark and Silsbee still stand. The Bridge City Cardinals (5-6, 4-2) made a good run at it, getting their collective foot in the door at the last second, with their victory over the Orangefield Bobcats. They got Coldspring in their initial match-up, where they weren’t favored, but some thought they had a good chance of moving on. Moving on was no longer an option after Friday getting knocked out of the tournament in the first round 47-7. Coach Cris Stump and the crew managed to score a touchdown with a 27-yard touchdown pass from Daniel Faulk to Adrian Schubarth, but turnovers would eventually be the Cards’ undoing as they lost one fumble and got intercepted twice. The Cardinal offense never really got it off the ground due to a stout defensive effort and how Coldspring’s offense was clicking from the start. Bridge City would’ve had to had a flawless effort to outscore them. It will be back to the drawing board for the coach and the team with a new squad that will have to take over next year. The West Orange Stark-Mustangs continue to roll on, as they got a huge 57-7 win against Cleveland last week. The Mustangs looked as impressive as ever, delivering the kind of well-balanced performance that other schools in the competition will have to take notice of. WOS has smothered one opponent after another on their way to this point, but another shut-out to open up district play was a statement game letting everyone know they are for real. Jimmy Salter lit it up passing 11/15 for two scores and 185 yards through the air and ran in a eight yard scamper for points on the ground. Wide receiver J’Marcus Rhodes was the beneficiary of those two touchdowns and the team rushed for 248 yards collectively, but the Mustangs dominated in all three phases of the game blocking kicks, intercepting the ball and even getting a safety before it was all over. Coach Thompson and his squad have really stepped up this year, and it has been a run to remember for the team. The fight carries on for the Mustangs. They play Columbia High School Friday, Nov. 23 at 6 p.m. Look for more of the same great Mustang offense and defense as the playoffs unfold.

Mighty Mustangs take on West Columbia
From Page 1B
ledge got in on the scoring when Salter lined up as a receiver and Rutledge in the wildcat. He bulldozed his way into the end zone from one yard out to put the ‘Stangs up, 34-0. The game went from bad to worse for the Indians when Ar’Tevin McDonald blocked a punt the rolled into the end zone from 34 yards out with 5:10 left in the half and Will Moore was able to recover it in the end zone for another score. “I just don’t think that Cleveland had seen a team that flies to the ball on defense like ours,” Thompson said. “The game wasn’t as difficult as we thought it would be but they had some injuries that really hurt them, and we just got after them good.” The Mustangs were able to get on the board again in the third period
when Rutledge scored on another quarterback keeper from two yards out. Cano’s PAT was good and the score hit, 48-0. The Indians were still fighting back but after another three and out, the ball sailed over the Cleveland punter’s head into the end zone for a free two points. That is when Tezeno was able to finally put points on the board when he returned the kick-off, juking 67 yards down the field for the last six points of the game. Cano’s PAT made it 570. While the defense was stopping the Indians cold in their tracks, even in the fourth quarter with many new faces and numbers on the field, the offense was making play after play, utilizing the stable of Mustangs that Salter has to choose from. Eight
Mustangs ran the ball including Abear Simien, Tezeno, Kane Tezeno, Salter, Maurice Morris, John Scott, Rutledge and Tremaine Anderson. Salter completed 11 of 15 passes to Rhodes (6-139 yards), Anderson, Dre Spencer, Rutledge and Simien. The Mustangs are now staring the West Columbia Roughnecks in the face in a game that will be played Friday at 6 pm in Channelview at Ray Maddry Memorial Stadium. The Roughnecks beat Houston Kashmere this past Friday night, 336, to move on to the second round. West Columbia is the second place team in their district behind the La Marque Cougars and is led by lefthanded quarter back Willis Johnson who is quick and throws well, according to Thompson. They are in
the #2 offense in their district, averaging 360 yards a game and are the #1 defense holding their opponents to 172 yards a game and an average of 17 points per game. “If we can hold them to half their average on the offensive side of the ball, we will have a good night,” Thompson said. “They are a physical team that can run and they do have good athletes. On paper, we match up well with them as far as their speed and quickness.” The Roughnecks are now 8-3, with losses to Wharton (21-23), Hempstead (17-32) and La Marque (0-48). They also have a 1500 yard tailback in Floyd Bess, who was chosen as the preseason MVP of 3A, and Jerry Wayne Cotton who is a very athletic
3B
receiver and also a good blocker, according to Thompson. “That Johnson kid is one that can make good plays out of a bad play,” Thompson said. “They come from a tough part of the world but their defense swarms to the ball as most defenses will this time of year.” Come out and support the Mustangs in their second play-off game in Channelview. The stadium is easy to find off of Interstate 10 West. Take the Sheldon Road exit (#783) and turn right on Sheldon Road. The stadium is about a mile down the road on the right. Good luck to the Silsbee Tigers who are still in the race for a state title in 3A Division 1. They face Stafford at 1 p.m. Friday at Turner Stadium in Humble. Also, good luck to the Nederland Bulldogs and the Deweyville Pirates as they also play this weekend, hoping to stay alive in the play-off hunt.

Lolly-gagging forces Texans and Cowboys to overtime KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD
The Houston Texans and the Dallas Cowboys found out first-hand Sunday afternoon the true meaning of a “trapgame”. A trap-game is one in which a team with a lowly won-lost record comes into your house and plays way over their head, forcing your team to play down to their level. That happened to both Lone Star State National Football League franchises when the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-8) invaded Reliant Stadium at noon Sunday while the offensivelyinept Cleveland Browns (2-7) visited Jerry Jones’ Football Emporium in Arlington. In both scenarios the host team played like it was the first day of training camp, missing tackles, being confused trying to defense crossing pass patterns, going off-sides, having too many illegal procedure penalties plus other strange calls by the game officials and missing their receivers by a wide margin on simple pass plays that have worked all season long. The end result was that both the Texans and the Cowboys were forced to play catch-up all game to teams that most .500 teams have steam-rolled throughout the season. The Cowboys trailed 13-0 at halftime while the Texans NEVER had the lead until the overtime (and they managed to blow it quickly, too). Perhaps the kiss of death came during the week when the Houston Texans were rated as the No. 1 team in the NFL by the nation’s football writers for the first time this season after their big win Chicago. And the Cowboys had their kiss-of-death put on them by Idiot Owners Jerry Jones who proclaimed his team was “over the hump” last week. The Texans entered the game as the NFL’s secondranked defense. But by the time the overtime ended, Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips’ pass defense had surrendered 354 yards passing and four touchdowns to Jacksonville’s BACK-UP quarterback Chad Henne, who entered the game early after starter Blaine Gabbert was injured. Houston’s once-renowned secondary was burned by rookie wide receiver Justin Blackmon for 236 yards and a touchdown. All totaled, the lowly Jags generated 458 yards of total offense. Fortunately the Texans’ defense redeemed itself in the latter stages of the fourth period and the overtime as Houston came away with a 43-37 victory. Ironically, just a week earlier the Texans came up with their best defensive performance of the season in their stunning 13-6 victory over the Chicago Bears, who coincidentally were rated as the NFL’s best defense. What saved the Texans’ bacon were great offensive performances by quarterback Matt Schaub and Hall of Fame-bound wide receiver Andre Johnson, who both had career-best football games. Schaub completed 25-of30 passes for 298 yards in the fourth quarter and overtime period alone, including the game-winning 48-yard touchdown pass to Johnson with only 29 seconds left in the overtime period. It looked like the NFL was headed for its second tie in as many weeks. Schaub finished the game
by completing 43-of-55 passes for 527 yards and five touchdowns. The 527 yards ties former Houston Oiler Warren Moon for the Houston NFL record and trails only the 554 yards put up by Los Angeles Rams’ quarterback Norm Van Brocklin against the New York Yankees in 1951. The 640 yards of total offense marked the first time the Texans surpassed 500 yards at home. Johnson had the best game of his 10-year career by hauling in 14 passes for 273 yards, including the game-ending touchdown pass from Schaub. The weary Texans must be ready to swing back into action tomorrow for the annual Thanksgiving Day game at Detroit that kicks off at 11:30 a.m. And the Cowboys also must be ready to play tomorrow against the Washington Redskins in a 3:15 p.m. game. But the Pokes have the luxury of not leaving the Metroplex with the Turkey Day game set for Jerry Jones Palace. In fact five of their final seven games are at home with four of them against a rookie quarterback. But Dallas must also recover quickly from two tough games, scoring three times in the fourth quarter with their defense and special teams to overpower Philadelphia 3823 and downing the Browns 23-20 on Dan Bailey’s 38-yard field goal with 6:07 left in the overtime period. The Cowboys sent the game into overtime when Bailey booted a crucial 32-yard field goal with two seconds left in regulation, tying the score at 23-all. Actually the Pokes trailed 13-3 after three quarters and scored twice in the fourth period on a two-yard run by Felix Jones and a 28-yard pass to Dez Bryant, who had career highs in catches (12) and yards (145). But the scrappy Browns came right back and scored on a 17-yard pass from rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden to Benjamin Watson, regaining the lead for Cleveland 2017. A couple of questionable calls by the men in stripes hurt both teams chances for victory—a horse-collar tackle by the Cowboys and an incomplete pass on Dallas receiver Miles Austin that replays
clearly showed was a catch and a fumble. Four plays later Bailey kicked the game-winning field goal KWICKIES…Earl Thomas usually makes this column because of something he did on the football field for the Seattle Seahawks. However, last week the Seahawks had a bye so Earl flew home to Orange and in his usual generous way bought and handed out 80 winter coats to those who were in need of one. One of this area’s best wellkept secrets is the One Million Dollar Delta Downs Jackpot, which had its 10th running Saturday afternoon at the racetrack in Vinton. The best two-year old horses from all over the country are shipped in for this Grade III Stakes race. Several of the entries have gone on to run in the Kentucky Derby the following spring. This year’s winner was Goldencents, a horse owned by RAP Racing which doesn’t mean anything except those are the initials of Kentucky basketball coach Rick Pitino. The 11-race program offered a total of $2,323,500 in purse money and had an overflow crowd at the track despite no publicity from any area media outlet. Sorry to hear one of my favorite football players, coach and ESPN television analysts Mike Ditka suffered a minor stroke last week, but Big Mike seems to be recovering quite well. Hopefully he’ll be back soon, making his wild predictions on the upcoming NFL games. When Baylor upset previously undefeated Kansas State Saturday 52-24, it marked the first time in school history that the Bears defeated the nation’s No. 1 football team. And later that night when Stanford beat Oregon 17-14 in overtime, it marked the first time since December of 2007 that both the No. 1 and No. 2 BCS teams suffered setbacks. Southland Conference football co-champion Sam Houston State (8-3) will host Cal Poly (9-2) Dec. 1 in the second round of the FCS. The Bearkats got a first-round bye in the tournament that begins Saturday. Central Arkansas (9-2), the other SLC co-champion, also was invited and will play at Georgia Southern on Dec. l.
JUST BETWEEN US…It’s hard for this Korner to believe that next year the University Interscholastic League will implement a football playoff system that will send four
high school teams from each district in Class 3A to the state playoffs instead of the three-team format we have now. That 57-0 mis-match between West Orange-Stark and
Cleveland last Friday night may just be the tip of the iceberg in coming years when the fourth-place team must play the champion from another district in the first round.
OES announces Teacher of the Month The teachers at Orangefield Elementary School have chosen Nicole Wolfford as the October Teacher of the Month. Mrs. Wolfford has been with OISD for 10 years. “I just love to teach,” Wollford said. “My favorite moments are when I see my students’ faces as their ‘light bulbs’ switch on. To help a child succeed is the most rewarding job of all!” Mrs. Wolfford’s students agreed that she deserves to be teacher of the month because she works hard to get everyone to understand and is always creative with her lessons. She makes reading fun!

The weather hasn’t been overly kind to area duck hunters, but no one else is complaining. We are currently still on a run of eight consecutive days with cool mornings, pleasant afternoons and no wind! Other than folks that just enjoy being outdoors, the biggest benefactors of this unseasonably perfect weather have been local fishermen. The water clarity in the lake and both rivers is exceptional and surface temperatures are hovering in the mid-sixties. Most of the shrimp still exiting the marshes are small browns, but the fish could care less about the size. Easily the most talked about bite of late has been the flounder run on both Sabine and Calcasieu. Calcasieu gets the most press because it gets the most fishing pressure this time of the year, thus generating more reports. Waders and boaters line up side by side on the shallow flats adjacent to the ship chanKeith Bessell with a very nice flounder caught while nel and while the catching can be incredibly fishing the river! good, you have to have a strong constitution to avoid petty confrontations. Calcasieu also gets far more pressure as scores of Texas anglers migrate east to take advantage of the ten fish limit. The limit in Texas for the month of November is two fish. I made two trips this past week targeting nothing but flounder and in spite of the more restrictive two fish limit, opted to stay in Texas and fish the ship channel south of the Causeway. We caught and released flounder from 2 to 6 pounds until we just got tired of catching fish. It wasn’t nearly as crowded as the Calcasieu gig and we saw a lot of other folks doing just as well. On the second trip we fished a shallow break covered with scattered chunks of rock and debris.
The bite was still very good, but we were going through an alarming number of jig heads and Gulp Mullet. The solution proved to be switching to a Carolina rig with the Gulp Mullet rigged weedless on a 3/0 Wide gap hook. The ½ ounce slip sinker seldom if ever hung up and we eventually improved on the catching by fishing tandem baits. Two things about the tandem rig were really surprising. When the bite would occasionally slow down, invariably one color would start producing better than the other. We were using pink on one drop and chartreuse on the other. The second was that all but one of the fish we caught over four pounds picked up both baits before we could set the hook. I guess the learning curve here is to wait a little longer when fishing two baits before setting the hook! As far as flounder fishing the ship channel goes, I would not make the trip without two different colors of the Gulp on board. White may work as well at times, but there was absolutely no doubt that the fish would show a preference for one color or the other throughout the day. We have also caught some very nice flounder in the river and ICW this week, but most of them were taken while fishing for trout and redfish. The preferred bait was a pumpkin-chartreuse Sea Shad or Flats Minnow rigged on a quarter ounce head. There has been no “go to” depth as we have caught them from three to 15 feet deep. There are still some gulls to be chased both in the lake and in the ICW, but the larger trout and small schools of upper slot limit reds are transitioning from chasing shrimp to dining on finger mullet and large shad. If you are running the lake and spot gulls working right against the shoreline it is a safe bet that the reds are doing their thing and there is no “wrong” lure to throw in their direction. The better trout now frequenting the shallow flats are eating top waters and longer tails rigged on 1/16th or 1/8th ounce heads. The Maniac Mullet and Corky Devil in glow-chartreuse and pink have also produced some trout in the 5 to 7 pound class this week. John Downey had some folks out last week and while they were casting in one direction and catching keeper trout under the gulls he caught a seven pounder and two more over five working a topwater closer to the shoreline. That is definitely a case of maximizing your options! Hopefully this weather will hold throughout the weekend and the bite will continue to improve. While Mom is jockeying for position and spending all of the Christmas money on Black Friday you can help her out by loading up the kids and heading to the lake. What a swap!

Small windows and big fish
How many times have you had it happen to you? After hours of fishing, struggling, changing baits, and changing tactics it finally happens, the fish finally decide to cooperate and all is right with FOR THE RECORD the world again. That brief period of euphoria wipes away all the memories of cold boring hours spent probing empty acres of water; it’s the opportunity we all search for yet only few find on a consistent basis. Those few fishermen who routinely find these brief periods where fish go on rampages that the average guy can only dream of rapidly reach mythic status in the fishing community. The “underground” of the fishing world buzzes with the stories of these fishermen, exploits surrounding sessions when every cast was met with a bone jarring strike circulate at the boat shows and each time the story is told the stringer always gets bigger. Every coastal angler dreams of fishing trips like these but most don’t understand what it takes to achieve these results. If you ever get a chance to talk to the really good fishermen along the Texas coast you will find that most of them are very detail oriented and they keep some sort of records. The records consist of all the obvious things like tides, temps, weather along with bottom structure, available bait, and a few others. The records offer up valuable history that can help anglers find a consistent fish catching pattern. During the winter months those fish catching patterns don’t last very long during the day, all the factors tend to align themselves for a brief period of time and that’s when memories are made. These small windows of opportunity are the key to being successful during the tough stretches because these windows are the smallest of the year. Many anglers fish all day in hopes of finding fish while others make shorter trips based on the patterns from past years. 9 times out of 10 the guy with the known pattern on his side will catch more and bigger fish. On Sabine and Calcasieu the patterns hold the same much like they do farther down the coast, warmer water on outgoing tides late in the day are a favorite of many at this time of the year. The combination of these factors can be extraordinary, especially when you know you can count on the bite being consistent. The afternoon pattern works well and is probably the favorite but what happens when you don’t have these conditions? The incoming tide can also provide some better water onto productive flats that have been exposed to sunlight during the day on low water conditions. Water from the back lakes and marshes heats up during the day and is usually protected so it holds heat for long periods of time. On the outgoing tide this warmer water rushes out onto the flats and bars carrying with it bait fish and other food that speckled trout, redfish, and flounder thrive on. These sudden temperature changes coupled with tidal movement will often kick start the fish into feeding mode and if you happen to be there at that time you may just be the subject of the next great fish story. I have been on the fortunate end of career days using both the incoming and outgoing tides during the winter and these trips help erase the thoughts of the bad days which we all inevitably suffer through. All you can do as a fisherman is to put the most odds in your favor and put your time in on the water. As unpredictable as the winter can be it’s awful nice to know that there is the possibility of predicting when and where the fish will bite. Looking at the winter months the first thing that comes to mind is run off from the lakes to the north and what kind of effect it will have on Sabine and Calcasieu. As it stands right now all the water levels on the lakes are relatively normal and that means stable conditions and saltier water for the time being. Hopefully the wonderful pattern that most anglers enjoyed in the Sabine River last winter will hold true because it was fantastic. Right now the same can be said as many anglers have taken to the breaks in the river and are absolutely wearing out the trout and reds. For this time of the year going forward that has to be a welcome pattern that most local anglers will take every year if possible. Enjoy it while it’s here and certainly be thankful each time you make it to the water.
