Group finds recycling option for Orange County Dave Rogers

For The Record

Curbside trash recycling could return to Orange County if enough households are willing to pay $10 per month. “We found out about this company and basically they cater to smaller communities that can’t afford to recycle on their own,” explained Sandra Hoke of Keep Orange County Beautiful. She and Deborah Bednar, President of Keep Orange County Beautiful, are set for further talks with Ryan Smith, CEO of Recyclops, a Utah company that says its mission is to make recycling as easy and accessible as possible. Orange County used to offer recycling service at the county landfill and Bridge

City had a recycling station at its City Hall before Waste Management ceased its residential recycling business in Southeast Texas. Orange County commissioners are supporting the Keep Orange County Beautiful recycling effort. Bednar and Hoke have also gotten a good reception by Kelvin Knauf, acting city manager of Orange County, the women say. County Commissioner Johnny Trahan pushed through a resolution for the county to provide the Recyclops bags for the first 100 people who sign up. “The county had been paying $300 per month for the recycle bin at county dump. So that [free bags] is a good incentive,” Hoke said. She said Keep Orange County Beautiful will offer

folks the opportunity to sign up for recycling at a booth set up during Shangri-La’s Scarecrow Festival, Oct. 8-Nov. 2. Recyclops advertises it will offer twice-monthly curbside pickup to households who sign up – if enough households in a community

sign up. Bednar says she understands Orange County would need 200 to 250 households to sign up to initiate the service. Information available on the home page at recyclops. com lists Orange County, Texas as a pre-launch loca-

tion and instructs those interested to click on the Orange County tab to sign up. Clicking on the tab yields the information that 300 households must sign up and when that number is reached, the company will contact registrants via email to let them know when service will

begin. According to the website, the cost is $10 per month or $110 a year. Hoke says she understands no sorting of recyclables is required and customers may pay online monthly. NEW RECYCLING Page 3A

Orange nails down new medical facility Dave Rogers

For The Record

The city of Orange wrapped up its $45 million 2020 budget Tuesday and took several big steps regarding the city’s future. Mike Kunst’s agreement to be the new city manager was approved by city council at a salary of $150,000 per year. More than $600,000 in hotel/motel occupancy tax funding for 2020 was doled out. Council approved the plans for an $800,000 pavilion to be built this winter at the Orange Boat Ramp, with the aim to be finished in time for the Bassmaster fishing tournament in late May. Additionally, council approved a half dozen legal documents to nail down a 20-acre donation from Gisela Houseman of property

near the Interstate 10 service road and Highway 62 to be used for medical facilities. Plans are for the Gisela Houseman Medical Center to be home to a small hospital, out-patient surgery suites and a large array of medical specialists. With no one from the public commenting, the city held its second public budget hearing on a proposed tax rate of 80.69 cents per $100 of value, a slight increase from last year’s 80.51 cents per $100. A final vote on the tax rate will take place at the next regularly scheduled council meeting, 5:30 p.m. Sept. 24. There was no public comment on the budget during that Tuesday public hearing, either. The 2020 budget includes

The Orangefield Bobcats take the field at F.L. McClain Stadium in their second game of the 2019 season. The Bobcats defeated the Livingston Lions 20-14 in the early season contest. Meanwhile, the Bridge City Cardinals were hosting the Jasper Bulldogs in their second home game at Larry Ward Stadium. This week the Orangefield Bobcats will host Shepherd for three straight games at home. The Bridge City Cardinals will go on the road on Sept. 19 to face the Silsbee Tigers.

Retired teacher Sandra Hoke lands 2019 Athena Award Dave Rogers

For The Record

She’s known around town as one of the Trashy Women, or one of the Garden Ladies. But mostly, Sandra Hoke is known as a woman who cares about Orange. “I know our community is so incredibly better off for having Sandra be a part of it,” Stephen Lee, President and CEO of First Financial Bank of Southeast Texas, said. “And I’m so very happy to recognize Sandra Hoke as our 2019 Athena Leadership Award winner.” Hoke, a teacher for two dozen years, mostly at Orange schools, was the 27th winner of the award presented annually to individuals who excel in profes-

sionalism, give back to their community and help raise up other leaders, especially women. The award ceremony was held Thursday, Sept. 5 at the Orange Train Museum. First Financial Bank and Capital Title sponsored the event. “It was very gratifying and humbling to me,” Hoke said a few days after the ceremony. I just do the things that I enjoy doing. And I have a passion for some of them. “I guess they used that to choose me, but I don’t think I deserve any recognition for what I do. I do it because I want to, not for recognition.” She and Deborah Bednar have taken on the “Trashy Women” nickname in their fight against litter as the leaders of Keep Orange County Beautiful.

This is in addition to Hoke joining Claire Smith as the “Garden Ladies” in 2016 when they founded Field of Plenty for Orange Christian Services. The garden has produced more than 11,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables to help those in the community who face food insecurity. Hoke is also a Master Gardener who has led the local program in president in 2012 and 2015. She has started a Master Gardener program at Circle K Daycare. She is a member of the First United Methodist Church and a volunteer at Shangri La Botanical Gardens, where her husband, Michael, had been the first executive director before his SANDRA HOKE Page 3A

Short film “Shhh” made local moves into post production plete. The goal is to submit the film to film festivals across the United States and internationally to promote Orange County as a viable location for filming, hopefully enticing other production companies to come here. “Our area has a variety of different locations that would make great film settings,” said LeLeux.

Larry Johnson For The Record

It was a busy weekend shooting “Shhh,” a short film written and directed by Penny LeLeux. Bridge City’s Rustic Saloon was one of two locations filmed Saturday. The other was an International Apartment on Meeks Drive in Orange. “I can’t wait to see it when it’s finished,” said Rustic Saloon owner, Paul Bryant. He was on hand to witness most of the filming and even did a bit of background pool playing at one point. Bridge City native Eastwood “Woody” Almazan and Reese Ravencraft of Lumberton star in the spy romantic comedy that will be making the rounds of film festivals upon completion, hopefully by the end of the year or early next year. LeLeux watched Almazan grow up on Orange Community Players, Inc. stage and knew he had the fight skills and acting chops the lead role required. Almazan has been living in Houston and is very active in cosplay and does professional stunt work. He readily agreed to do the part when LeLeux told him she wrote something he was perfect for back in April. She also put all the fight choreography in his hands. “The fight scenes look amazing,” said LeLeux. “Everything has far exceeded any expectations I had for the film.” “I can’t wait to see the fight scenes cut together,” said Almazan. He’s anxious to add the scenes to his reel. Ravencraft came to the film through auditions. “I did video auditions first, and then from there, brought in select candidates to do compatibility tests with Woody,” said LeLeux. “There were some great candidates and it was a tough decision, but I finally decided on Reese and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. She is a

“I feel pretty good about this film and I think it will be accepted into a number of festivals,” said LeLeux. “The cast and crew all seem to be very excited about the quality of this project.” Once the film is complete, there will be a private screening set up for supporters of the film, cast and crew at the Rustic Saloon.

Parts of his team are from Orange and are twotime winners of the 48 Hour Film Race for Boomtown Film Fest. After principal photography was completed Saturday, Underwood said this may be the best project

his production company has done so far. Other Orange Countians in the film are John Frederick of Mauriceville as the main Dharma agent. LeLeux’s son, Jason, came on as the Bartender and even LeLeux did a cameo. There were several other background roles filled by actors from across Southeast Texas and one came all the way

Sandra Hoke, Athena Award death in 2016. “All my volunteering is all because of Michael,” she said. “When he died, I decided I couldn’t sit around feeling sorry for myself. I had to stay busy. “So, I said ‘Yes’ to everything. But I love it. I love everything I do. I do what I like, and I love digging in the dirt.” Fourteen former Athena Leadership Award winners were on hand for Hoke’s recognition. They were Pam Honeycutt (1993), Gisela Houseman (1994), Marcelle Adams (1996), Jane Whitfield (1999), Mary McKenna (2002), Vivian Kelly DeJohn (2003), Pauline Hargrove (2004), Betty Harmon (2006), Katherine Frey (2008), Theresa Beauchamp (2009), Cecil Broom (2010), Nancy Vincent (2011), Beverly Perry (2013) and Becky Rutledge (2018). “She could have easily turned the mantel of responsibility over to others and said, ‘It’s your turn now,’” Lee said. “But that’s certainly not in her nature. “Sandra is dedicated to the beautification of our community, protecting our envi-

ronment and educating our youth about protecting our environment.”

New recycling option The website indicates a $10 one-time setup fee is required, along with the purchase of a year’s supply of Recyclops’ 13-gallon drawstring recyclable bags for $10. All household paper, flattened cardboard, metal and plastic containers #1-5 and #7 are accepted. Items not eligible for recycling are motor oil, insecticides, plastic grocery bags, hazardous material containers, electronics, plastic bags, sheets, tarp or raps, plastic containers #6, and glass. The recycling rate in the United States has increased from less than 7% in 1960 to more than 34% in 2015, ac-

cording to the Student Conservation Association. Recycling, the act of transforming something old into something new, benefits the environment in a number of ways. It saves on energy, materials and natural resources. Less waste goes to landfills. There are few materials that cannot be recycled. Paper products make up the largest percentage – 26% -- of all waste materials in the United States, the EPA says. Progress on plastic has been slow in the United States, with less than 9% of plastic waste being recycled in 2015. Plastic can take any-

where from five to 600 years to break down. Glass presents an opportunity for additional growth. In 2015, 26% of waste glass was being recycled. Americans currently discard about 2.7 million tons of aluminum each year and only about 50% of it is recycled. Hoke points out that Orange County trash ends up going to the Newton landfill. “Recycling keeps stuff out of the landfill,” Hoke said. “If the Newton one closes, wherever they go, it’s going to go farther away. “So when you look at it, recycling makes sense.”

Medical facility, Orange budget $1.5 million more money in the general fund than the updated 2019 budget, which got its final amendment Tuesday. However, the total amount of funds in the 2020 budget is nearly $2 million less than the 2019 amended budget. The new one includes $24.6 million for the general fund, $1 million for debt service, $8.1 million for capital outlay and $8.2 million for water and sewer, $2.2 million for sanitation and $1.3 million for special budget. Council members approved the 2020 budget Tuesday. All votes Tuesday were unanimous with all council members present. Mayor Larry Spears, Jr., thanked Kelvin Knauf, acting city manager, and Cheryl Zeto, city finance director, and their staffs for work on the budget. “Mr. Knauf presented us with an amazing budget,” Spears said. “Things that have needed to be addressed for years are now being addressed.” As usual, the lion’s share of the HOT tax money was saved for the city’s Convention & Visitors Bureau, a total of $494,000. Nine other entities received HOT money: $50,000 for Lutcher Theater, $40,000 for Chamber of Commerce Bassmaster Tournament, $15,000 for Heritage House Museum, $10,000 for Friends of the Orange Depot, $6,000 for Orange Lions Club, $5,000 for Chamber of Commerce River Festival, $5,000 for Chamber of Commerce Mardi Gras Parade, $5,000 for SETAC Off Ramp Magazine and $4,000 for Adventures 2000 Plus.

The much-ballyhooed MadVac, a large vacuum cleaner attached to a golf cart that Knauf wanted the city to buy, is up on the air, Knauf said. He said he’d been told a small streetsweeper might do the job better. Jim Wolf, public works director, presented information about the Boat Ramp Pavilion accompanied by architect Rob Clark. The building will be 100 feet by 100 feet, with LED lighting and all the electrical wiring raised to be out of the way of future flooding. It will have several motorized doors on each end and four large fans to cool things off. Wolf said it could host major concerts with the surrounding grass lawn used for additional seating. “It will really be a show

place,” Wolf said. “It’s going to change and enhance Simmons Drive to the utmost.” The project’s $800,000 budget was funded by some fo the $8 million in certificates of obligation council voted to take on last year. Council members agreed to monthly salaries of $5,026 for municipal court judge Jerry Pennington, $2,946 for city prosecutor Cimron Campbell and $419 for assistant muni court judge George B. Barron. An official extension to March 1 was okayed for the EDC as a deadline for the start of construction on Boardwalk Grille, and council voted to add Veterans Day as an official holiday for city employees.

From The Creaux’s Nest THE PEAK OF HURRICANE SEASON By this weekend a tropical system that will move near the southeastern Bahamas and Florida could become more developed and move into the northern Gulf. This system could bring more rain to the Bahamas and Florida. The Bahamas is totally destroyed from Dorian and looks like it’s been bombed. It is a sad situation and no one is rushing to help them. Their economy depends mostly on tourism and it will take several years, if ever, to restore the place. Now another storm approaches.*****I’ve got to move on. Please come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm.

TRUMPS APPROVAL RATING SLIPS A new Washington Post-ABC poll was released Tuesday, Sept. 10. Six in 10 Americans expect a recession and higher prices as Trump’s approval rating slips. Americans express wide concern about Trump’s trade war with China, which will raise the price of goods for U.S. consumers. Trump’s policies have increased chances of a recession. Trump’s approval rating among voting age Americans is at 38 percent, with 58 percent saying they disapprove of his performance in office. A separate question finds that 6 in 10 find that recession is “very likely” or “somewhat likely” in the next year. Trump’s overall rating with Independents is deeply underwater, with 36 percent approving of his job performance and 58 percent disapproving. The poll finds a persistent and large gender gap in views of Trump, only 30 percent of women approve of his job performance, with 64 percent disapproving. Men are evenly split with 47 percent approving, 47 percent disapproving. A sizable share of Trump core supporters say they are worried about price increases because of tariffs, including 55 percent of whites without college degrees, 54 percent living in rural areas and 45 percent of White, Evangelical Protestants. Concern rises to about 6 in 10 political independents and people living in the suburbs, two key swing voting groups. The poll found that American voters are 28 percent Democrat, 24 percent Republican. Independents are the largest voting block with 37 percent. In the poll of Democratic candidates people were asked to list their preference among 24 candidates. Biden received 30 percent, Sanders, 19 percent, Warren, 12 percent and Harris, 13 percent among registered voters. When the poll asked, “Who do you think has the best chance to beat Trump” 42 percent said Biden, 14 percent Sanders, 12 percent Warren, with Harris and O’Rouke 2 percent. Eight-nine percent support background checks on all potential gun buyers, including private sales and gun shows. Twenty-seven percent say they are greatly worried about mass shooting in their community, 34 percent said somewhat worried. Trump’s 38 percent is the same as the FOX poll two weekends ago.

COX TURNS 95 AND STILL KICKING Monday morning, like usual, I started my week early; my first stop was at Neighbor Cox’s place. Since it was still dark I left a little package for him in the middle of the yard where he couldn’t miss it when he took his first look out of the kitchen window. Monday, Sept. 9, was my buddy Millard’s 95th birthday. The old WWII veteran is one of my heroes. When we first met 23 years ago, we both operated full throttle. Today, he’s slowed and walks in smaller steps but he’s still self-sufficient. He lives alone, does his own cooking and chores. At least once a day he will drive to Golden Years Assisted Living to visit Ginny, his bride of over 70 years. For three years or more he’s done this routine. It breaks his heart not to have her home but she’s well cared for and Cox is pleased about that. I first met this wonderful couple, Ginny, was the gardener, she grew some great crops that the entire neighborhood enjoyed. She was also the family mechanic. She could take a carburetor apart, fix and clean it, then put it back together. They have known each other since they were kids. Every day, or most days, I check on “Neighbor” to see how he’s doing. He’s usually doing better than me. I was concerned that he would spend his birthday alone. No one should spend their 95th birthday along. Well Cox wasn’t alone. His daughter, son, niece and nephew took him to Juanita’s for a great meal. His friend Mark Brinson bought a birthday cake and a neighbor baked him a loaf of homemade bread. He had a great 95th birthday. Here’s wishing this old veteran continues having good health and mental sharpness. Well Neighbor may the wind be at your back. Happy Birthday.

It was a nice jester but I suspect that the fifth or even tenth anniversary will have a lot more meaning. Seven hundred FEMA houses remain, folks are still in a dilemma and the community still has a long way to go before the true story of the outcome can be told. The entire Bridge City story hasn’t been written yet. There are many heroes, residents and business people, who make their homes between Cow Bayou and the Neches. Some business people, who lost their total investments, picked themselves up after the tears dried and moved on and helped their neighbors get on solid footing.

Also having a birthday is school board member Mark Anderson, who I’ve known since he, Jeff and Goober were puppies.***** Last week, the Lunch Bunch celebrated Sheriff Merritt and John Roy Fredrick’s birthdays. After several months being away, it was good to see 97-year-old, Pearl Harbor survivor, Cedric Stout, able to enjoy eating again. Keith Wallace’s sidekick Logan, has a new, stateof-the-art wheel chair. It does everything but talk. It gets 7-feet tall. Logan won’t have any trouble dancing with those long-legged women now. The Bunch will dine at Southern Charm this week and back at Robert’s next week. Everyone always welcome.*****After 31 years it appears the new has worn off. Married Aug. 29, 1988, Todd Palin wants out. He has filed for divorce from Sarah, former governor of Alaska and Republican candidate for vicepresident with John McCain in 2008. Todd has hired lawyer Kimberlee Colbo, who represented Dakota Megers in his divorce against the Palin’s daughter Bristol. I always thought Sarah was batty, now Todd must feel he can’t take it anymore. *****The Democratic debate will be held Thursday evening on ABC. Ten candidates will participate. I see good possibilities for some to be good cabinet members, plus I like some that didn’t make the debate that would serve well in an administration, for one Amy Klobuchar.*****Speaking of politics, I read last week in Dave Rogers; news story that Orangefield school board member, longtime lawman, Brad Frye is a candidate for constable of Pct. 3. Brad certainly is qualified and has the experience. Constable Mark Philpott is retiring after 30 years in law enforcement. He and Babette are looking forward to doing other things like traveling etc.*****Eightyfour years ago this week on Sept. 10, 1935, “The Kingfish” Sen. Huey P. Long died in Baton Rouge after being shot in the Louisiana State Capital. Dr. Carl Weiss is alleged to have shot him.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Joe Dartez and some of his buddies were hanging out and planning an upcoming fishing trip. Dartez said, “I can’t go dis time me, Ula Mae won’t let me.” Boy, Dartez him took a lot of teasing and name calling from Comeaux and da guys. Dartez him, went home feeling low and frustrated. Friday afternoon, wen da guys got off work dey head to da camp dem. Wen dey arrived at da camp on Bayou de Cropo, dey were shocked to see Dartez sitting on da dock drinking a beer, his feet propped up on his ice chest and a fire going in da barbecue pit. “Dartez, how in da world did you talk Ula Mae into letting you come fishing, hanh?” Comeaux axe. “I didn’t have to,” Dartez replied, “Yesterday wen I got home, I slumped in my chair wit a beer, feeling sorry for myself cause I can’t go fishing me.” Den Ula Mae snuck up behind me, covered my eyes and said, “Surprise.” Wen I peel her hands back she was standing dere in a see-through negligee and she said,” Joe babe, carry me to da bedroom, tie me to da bed and you can do whatever you want.” So here I am me.

C’EST TOUT SINCERE APOLOGIES I want to apologize to Danny’s and K-Dan’s for our BIG mistake last week by running the previous week’s ad instead of the new, current ad. We also regret any inconvenience it caused to the stores loyal customer. The mistake had something to do with the new ad getting into the wrong folder. Computers are something I know nothing about. Our relationship with those two businesses go back 45 years. Danny Brack and Kenneth Smith are longtime, loyal friends, plus we have known new partner Dan Brack, Jr., since he was in short pants. He brings new life and new blood to these to great food stores. “Little Dan” keeps the excitement going. He’s a constant promoter.*****Well folks, my time is up. I certainly thank you for yours.

Protection against uninsured drivers

Getting in an accident with the uninsured likely costly Provided by Ian E. James, CRPC®, AAMS® President, Financial Advisor Capital Financial Group www.409Wealth.com 409-792-0179 About 13 percent of all motorists, or one-in-eight drivers, do not have automobile insurance.1 Having the misfortune of getting into an accident with an uninsured motorist may have serious ﬁnancial consequences depending upon the state in which you reside and whether it is a “no-fault” or “tort” state. In no-fault states, the law does not assign blame for an accident. As a result, each driver is reimbursed by their insurance company for any damages. In a “tort” state, insurance companies pay out claims based upon the percentage of fault assigned to each driver. Any accident with an uninsured driver means no insurance reimbursement payment

Ian E. James for their apportioned share of the damage. is can leave you holding the ﬁnancial bag. How to Protect Against Uninsured Drivers. Some states require drivers to take out insurance for uninsured (and underinsured) motorists. Where not required, it makes good sense to add that coverage to your auto policy. You can buy protection against uninsured (and underinsured) drivers for both bodily injury and property damage.

is coverage may also be valuable in cases where an insured motorist flees the scene of an accident without trading insurance information. e first step to protect yourself against this potential financial risk is to contact your insurance agent to discuss your current coverage, applicable state insurance laws, and what you need to do to obtain protection against uninsured motorists.

Orangefield 20, Livingston 14 Orangefield has jumped out to a 2-0 season start thanks to a Week 2 win over Livingston as the Bobcats outlasted the Lions 20-14 at F.L. McClain Stadium in Orangefield. e Bobcats win got off on a defensive step with a first-quarter interception by Heston Puckett. A handful of plays later, the Cats were in the end zone on a Gunner Jones 4-yard run to give Orangefield a 7-0 lead. Late in the first half, the Bobcats would grind out an impressive 97-yard, 19-play drive that ate up most of the second quarter clock. e drive that started at the Lions’ 3 ended up at the Bobcats’ end of the field where Jones ran in from a yard out for the 14-0 advantage. e Lions finally got on the board in the third when a short Bobcats punt gave the Lions the ball at the Orangefield 25.

GAMES THIS WEEK WEST ORANGE-STARK over NEWTON I’ve decided to pick the Mustangs to do something no other Texas high school has been able to do in the past three years— beat the Newton Eagles and do it up in Newton. After getting beaten soundly last year, the Mustangs have been on a vendetta to avenge that humiliating loss to the Eagles. But the Mustangs will have to play better than in their ﬁrst two victo ries.

e Bobcats defense set up the critical third touchdown for Orangefield as Clayson Choate picked off Ruiz. Given that opportunity, Kaiden Dubose took off on a 34-yard touchdown run to put the Cats up 20-7 late in the third quarter. e Lions would manage to return a kickoff for a touchdown but again, like in the first half, that TD was negated by penalties. Eventually, Ruiz worked to bring Livingston back to within a score, scoring on a 17-yard run for a 20-14 difference. e Bobcats defense held the final 10 minutes of the game, allowing Livingston just under 200 yards of total offense. Chase Broussard had five carries for 66 yards to lead the Bobcats, while Dubose finished with 60 yards rushing. Livingston’s Ruiz ran for 94 yards on 14 carries and threw for 69 more on 9 completions in the loss.

After all, defense wins championships, right. e Mustangs stayed perfect at 2-0 after the 36-14 cross-county rivalry with the Bears at Mustangs Stadium although early it appeared that LC-M might have ﬁgured out how to top the Blue and Silver. WO-S started the scoring when Jamarcus Ross ran it in from four yards out, ending a 12 play, 60 yard drive to give the Mustangs a 7-0 advantage. e Bears, who fell to 1-1 with the loss, came back to knot the game on a sevenyard touchdown pass from Ethan McCollum to Brandon Pollock. e Mustangs, as usual, came charging back to score again when Elijah Gales scored from 18 yards out for a 14-7 advantage. WO-S upped that lead to 20-7 early in the third quarter after the Mustangs defense held LC-M for a three-and-out to start the half. Gales got the call again, crossing the

Whenever the Labor Day weekend rolls around, several things are certain to happen— summer as we know it ends, the threat of hurricanes subsides somewhat, cooler weather is right around the corner AND the National Football League starts playing games “for real.” But the 2019 edition of the NFL’s first week was put on the back burner as two of the game’s premier performers—Ezekiel Elliott and Antonio Brown-- were holding out and getting most of the pro football headlines. e Dallas Cowboys were faced with Elliott, their star running back, demanding his contract be re-negotiated despite having two years remaining on his rookie-year pact. is ploy usually ends up with the star player agreeing to play the entire season and then receiving a new contract after the season has ended, kind of like what Earl omas did last season with the Seattle Seahawks. But Cowboy owner Jerry Jones realized that without Zeke in the lineup the Cowboy’s running game would be nil, screwing up the entire offense. Jones remembers way back when star running back Emmitt Smith did the same thing and the season began with three straight losses before he relented and gave Smith what he wanted. is season was predicted to be one of the Cowboys’ best in many years and Jones didn’t want a certain win to not happen because Zeke wasn’t in the lineup. So last week Zeke got his fiveyear extension worth nearly $100 million and the Cowboys

had Zeke in uniform ready to play in Sunday’s lop-sided 35-17 opening win over the hapless New York Giants. But the Elliott Episode was not nearly as weird as the one involving Antonio Brown. He was the property of one of the best franchises in NFL history—the Pittsburgh Steelers— until he got tired of catching short passes over the middle from quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and demanded to be traded. Brown, the fourtime All-Pro who caught 837 passes over nine seasons with the Steelers, got his trade wish and was dealt to the Oakland Raiders in March after Pittsburgh got tired of his weird antics. But he never made it onto the field in a Raiders’ uniform, according to an article that appeared in the Houston Chronicle last week. “Instead of providing them with a marquee star in their final season in Oakland before moving to Las Vegas, Brown gave them months of headaches, from a bizarre foot injury to a fight over his helmet with the blowups last week that ended his career there before it began,” the article pointed out. e straw that broke the camel’s back apparently occurred in a practice session when he caught a pass and then punted the ball after the catch. Brown made the next catch and stuffed it into a garbage can and after his third and final reception, he heaved the football out of the stadium and onto some railroad tracks, according to Sunday’s pre-game show on Fox Sports. e Raiders told Brown his total of fines exceeded $200,000 and that the team was voiding the remainder of his $29 million guaranteed salary, so he demanded his release on Instagram. He was granted his wish

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott added to the turmoil of the start of the 2019 NFL season. very few minutes later. And within a couple of hours, Bill Belichick, who has a habit of picking up these renegade players oﬀ the garbage heap, signed Brown to a one-year contract with the New England Patriots that guaranteed him $9 million this season with the potential of earning as much as $15 million. Brown was scheduled to earn up to $50 million from Oakland over the three-year deal. “We just exhausted everything,” Raider’s coach Jon Gruden said. “We tried every way possible to make it work. All I’m going to say is, it’s disappointing.” KWICKIES…Orange native Earl omas has already given the Baltimore Ravens what they signed him for—to create turnovers. On the Ravens’ ﬁrst defensive stand in Sunday’s

game at Miami against the Dolphins, Earl snatched a pass thrown by Miami quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and returned it 15 yards, which set up one of the Ravens’ many touchdowns they scored in that 59-10 blowout. Earl has picked off Fitzpatrick four times in his 10-year career. Earl had four interceptions in the three games he played last season with the Seattle Seahawks before his season-ending injury, which totals five picks in his last four games. The Houston Astros got in the swing of things on the first Sunday of the 2019 NFL season by scoring three touchdowns and extra points (21 runs) in crushing the Seattle Mariners 21-1 to sweep the three-game series. Right-han-

der Gerrit Cole retired 24 of the 25 batters he faced, striking out 15 hitters and improving his record to 16-5. Going into Monday’s game against Oakland, the Astros needed only six more victories to reach the 100-win milestone, leading the major leagues with their 94 victories. After LSU’s impressive 4538 victory over the Texas Longhorns at Royal Memorial Stadium in Austin Saturday night, the Bengal Tigers moved up from No. 6 to No. 4 in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 College Football Poll. The top three teams remained intact— Clemson, Alabama and Georgia—Oklahoma and Ohio State each dropped one notch, idle Notre Dame moved up one spot to No. 7, Auburn and Florida

jumped up two places while Michigan, who had to go two overtimes to subdue Army, dropped three places to No. 10. Texas sunk from ninth to No.12 while the Texas Aggies went from No. 12 to No. 16. JUST BETWEEN US…My grandson, Logan Smith, was one of the 500 West Point cadets who were chosen in the lottery to attend Saturday’s big game between Army and Michigan at Ann Arbor and stand behind the Black Knights bench in their fatigues. Army came very close to pulling oﬀ one of the biggest upsets at Ann Arbor, losing after their gametying ﬁeld goal attempt to send the game into a third overtime period was fumbled, giving Michigan a lucky 24-21 doubleovertime victory.

Take low water as serious threat

CAPT. DICKIE COLBURN FISHING WEEKLY FOR THE RECORD

e following is a tip that could save you a day of fishing on Toledo Bend. If you arrive at a boat launch and it appears that you are the first to arrive ... get a grip before hurrying to launch! Walk down to the ramp and check it out before backing your boat in the lake. e two problems we encountered due to the low water were the end of the ramp wasn’t deep enough and the clay covering the newly exposed concrete offered very little traction. We didn’t initially try a public launch because a neighborhood launch closer to the area we wanted to fish was steep and I figured we could launch with no problem. I was wrong, but at least we didn’t back the wheels off the end of the pavement. We decided to drive to the first public launch we found with trucks and empty trailers and had no further problems. Unlike 2011 when Toledo Bend shrank below 160 feet, there are a lot of launches still

available.If you haven’t been on the lake since it hit the 165 mark, you would do you and your boat a favor by keeping your head on a swivel and running boat lanes a little slower. Trees that have rotted off near the surface over the years are still solid at the shallower level. We slowly negotiated a creek channel winding through the timber near Boone’s Crossover that I never knew even existed, but we will check it out again in the fall. e surface temperature is hanging around the 88 degree mark and that dooms the shallow water bite pretty quickly in the morning. We found school bass about halfway back in two different creeks and they were pretty solid fish. ey would blow up on a chrome or bone Chug Bug, but seemed to prefer a four-inch pearl-silver flake Swim Bait. I don’t know if we just weren’t mad enough at the fish due to the heat and gave up too quickly, but we found less grass

in areas that had much more grass a month ago. We fished a lot of 17 to 22 foot water and in looking back I think that we may have been too deep with the lake down. e bass we caught on Carolina rigs were still holding in scattered grass, but it was a tough bite for the most part. I also feel like the crappie must have abandoned the brush piles temporarily, because we talked with two guides that were catching some very solid fish with shiners working the tree lines in deeper water. I didn’t ask them how deep they were fishing, but it looked to be 12 to 15 feet deep in water as deep as thirty feet. When their bite slowed they simply idled along the tree line looking for concentrations of suspended shad much the same way we do when vertically jigging spoons for bass. e tree lines they were jigging were not far from their brush piles so they must figure that bite will pick back up with a little cooler weather! On the local scene, the bass catching is far easier that the trout catching.We are starting to catch better numbers of under sized specks thanks to

CMYK

clearer water and better salinity, but it is far from a cake walk and three-pound fish are scarce. e lady fish and gafftop are seemingly everywhere, even on the north end, but the trout aren’t really hustling the massive schools of small shad. On the other hand, we are catching reds both running the shoreline and occasionally stumbling up on schooling fish. We have found small schools in Coffee Ground Cove and just south of Stewt’s. e bass bite just seems to be where ever you are any time you have good tide movement. We recently fished a stretch of Cow bayou that has never been good to me with a small crankbait and a 3-inch Usual Suspect and caught 10 to 13-inch bass nonstop. Dale Bergeron said that he caught a limit of bass and fifteen to twenty goggle two days in a row fishing a popping bug on a fly rod. He said that he was fishing a small yellow/black Pecks Popper. I didn’t ask, but I feel reasonably certain he was fishing out of his kayak! A little shot of cooler weather may be all we need to turn things around.

MERI ELEN JACOB’S MUSTANG INSIDER

WO-S claims city bragging rights in 36-14 win over LC-M e cross-town rivalry matchup between the West Orange-Stark Mustangs and the Little Cypress-Mauriceville Bears, where the new turf and scoreboard were the focus for most the first few minutes of the night, did not disappoint the huge crowd who came to watch. Up until the middle of the third quarter, the Bears were able to hang on and fight but WO-S’ Elijah Gales proved to be too hard to handle and the Mustangs won, 36-14. “I was happy with the win, but we didn’t play very well the first half,” Head Coach Cornel ompson said. “We didn’t play our best and did not improve from the first to the second game. I attribute that to our football maturity. We have a lot of sophomores and inexperienced players that don’t have varsity experience.” e Mustangs made it look easy as they moved the ball down the field to start the game, 60 yards in 12 plays, before Ja’Marcus Ross rushed in from 4 yards out to put the first six points on the board. Kicker Angel Ibarra’s kick was good and the Mustangs led, 7-0. LC-M marched the ball down to the 22-yard line in nine plays but the Chain Gang defense held and the Bears’ Robby Wedel went for a field goal that was too short. WO-S had no trouble moving the ball back down the field, but a costly fumble gave the ball back to the Bears, who quickly turned the gift into 7 points. On the next series, Gales was in on six of the 11 plays before bursting through the Bear defense on an 18yard run for six. e Mustangs led at

the half, 14-7. Using Gales again after the half, WO-S was able to get on the board on their first series with an 8-yard run. e kick was no good, but the kick-off proved to be very good to the Bears as LC-M’s DJ Spears returned it 88 yards for the score. Chewing up the clock, Gales again hit pay dirt eleven plays later on a fouryard play, putting the score at 26-14. Gales wasn’t finished with his show as on the next series, he burst through the LC-M defenders for a 52-yard touchdown. Angel Ibarra also hit a 37-yard field goal late in the game to finish off the scoring. e young ‘Stangs will face a tough Newton team in Newton on Friday night. e Eagles are currently on a 32game win streak, and ompson does not want to be win number 33 for them. “e kids up there don’t have to brag about what they do,” ompson said. “ey are tough country kids and if we sashay into Newton on Friday night, thinking that we have this game, they will hand us our hats.” e Eagles run a pressure defense and a multiple formation offense. Quarterback Nate Williams runs the show with returning players Zac Gully and Dominique Seastrunk as huge threats. “Everyone gives us their A game,” ompson said. “It’s time we start growing up. If we can line up and tackle, I think we’ll be OK.” All tickets must be purchased Friday night at the gate in Newton. Prices are $5 for adults and $3 for students. e JV team beat LCM this past ursday, 39-7. Jamaal Shaw scored

Gales wound up with 23 carries for 235 yards and four touchdowns, more than half of the Mustangs’ final 441 yards of total offense.

Jasper 65, Bridge City 14 e Jasper Bulldogs rolled past Bridge City 65-14 this past Friday night at H.N. Litton Field in Bridge City, scoring on each of its first four possessions to put the game out of reach really before it started. MonTavien Hunt scored the first Jasper touchdown on a 55-yard run with 2:35 left in the first quarter, then Carl Limbrick scored on a 39-yard run for the Bulldogs to put them up 14-0. e Cardinals’ offense finally came alive when Andy Lara took off on a 71-yard run, setting up an Oscar Carranza 27-yard field goal with about

four minutes left in the ﬁrst quarter. Limbrick, scoring the second of his six touchdowns, crossed from the 2 yard line with 1:44 remaining in the first quarter. On the first play of the second quarter, Limbrick scored again, this one a 20-yard run. The Cardinals would eventually get its offense back on track, resulting in another field goal for Carranza, this one a 42-yarder, and the Cardinals cut the Jasper lead to 286. With just 11 seconds left in the half, Limbrick managed to find the end zone again, taking the ensuing kickoff 80 yards for a 34-6 halftime lead. On the first drive for the Bulldogs

in the second half, Limbrick found pay dirt again, scoring on a 3-yard run. en Adams connected with Nolan Smith on a 36-yard pass play to give Jasper a 48-6 lead early in the third quarter. Ethan Oceguera finally got the Cardinals in the end zone late in the third, taking a quarterback keeper for five yards and a 48-14 difference. e Bulldogs added a field goal and Limbrick his final TD run of the night, a 45-yarder. e final Jasper score came on a 31-yard run by Ketavion Hadnot.

Season opens for anxious hunters

CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE OUTDOORS WEEKLY FOR THE RECORD

In what has become a highly anticipated yearly ritual, wingshooters from all over Texas will make there way to the fields and marshes as the 2019-2020 waterfowl hunting season officially gets underway. e teal season opener has become a real gathering of sorts, almost a social get together if you will. Hunters eagerly awaiting each new hunting season head to the fields for their first taste of what is in store and this one looks promising thanks to some recent rains. Both fields and marshes are abundant with life and fresh growth, a plus for some and a curse for others. e early teal season is a great September option for waterfowlers who want to get a jump on their hunting opportunities. e 16 day season opens statewide on Saturday and runs through Sept. 30th. Shooting hours are 30 minutes before sunrise to sunset and the bag limit is 6 teal, any species. Heavy rains in recent weeks have made the marshes flush with new vegetation and fresh water, both of which should really help the hunters as well as the birds. With the promise of the years first cool fronts coming in September it is understandable that the hunters have high hopes. So far nature and the weatherman have cooperated, at least up until this point. Now all we need is some cooperation from the birds and no crazy weather that would cause catastrophic changes in the outlook. September has been an active month historically in the Gulf of Mexico, hopefully we will spared any problems. e outlook for Teal hunters is outstanding as the numbers of birds is close to an all time high. Local scouting reports have been favorable as a huge push of birds made their way into our part of the state during the past full moon. e first cool front will help usher more teal south as

GAME WARDEN FIELD NOTES

e following items are compiled from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement reports.

Wardens Catch Up to East Texas Poaching Ring Game wardens in Smith and Wood counties recently put a halt to a massive poaching network involving 12 individuals responsible for the illegal killing of at least 28 white-tailed deer and 50 feral hogs. e investigation began in February with information about a deer that had been shot oﬀ a county road at night. Game wardens conducted several interviews and soon learned this was not an isolated incident. In fact, it was just the tip of the iceberg. By the summer, investigators had documented evidence that a dozen subjects collectively committed

Teal season opens Saturday with much anticipation from local hunters. they continue along their migration towards Mexico and beyond. Rice ﬁelds and areas along the prairies that are holding water are seeing huge concentrations of teal while the same can be said for the coastal marshes. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see the public hunting areas along the coast do very well for this weekends opener, especially after a recent scouting trip I made. A few things to remember about the early teal season that shouldn't be ignored. First and foremost is safety for everyone involved in the hunt. It's warm outside and that means all the creepy crawlies will still be hanging around. Alligators and snakes will certainly make their presence felt so be on the lookout, especially if you bring a dog. Mosquitoes will be another concern and

more than 600 violations during the last two years, ranging in severity from Class C misdemeanors to State Jail felonies. All the deer and hogs had been killed on private property at night; shot from public roadways with the aid of spotlights. e dead animals were left to rot where they fell. Cases are pending.

Taking Trouble off the Road On Aug. 17, a couple of Van Zandt County game wardens encountered an ATV operating on a public road near Lake Tawakoni. As wardens made contact with the four-wheeler operator they observed a Land Rover coming to a stop close behind and the driver exit the vehicle. While one warden made contact with the operator of the four-wheeler, the other made

with the West Nile Virus lurking around it's important to take proper precautions so don't leave home without repellant. Now as far as hunting goes don't make it too complicated, teal are usually rather easy to decoy so scouting is more important than decoy placement or calling. Be in area where the birds want to be and you should be ﬁne. If you feel like calling a whistle is the best call you can have on your lanyard, a few easy "peeps" on a whistle is often all you need to get teal to commit to your spread. e shooting can be fast and furious at times so always be aware of those around you, no bird is worth an accident. e forecast is good for opening morning so hopefully the birds cooperate, there are certainly enough of them out there to make this one a memorable opening day.

contact with the driver of the Land Rover. As the warden approached the Land Rover, he noticed the driver make an effort to re-enter the vehicle and ordered him to step away. e subject ignored the commands and tried to reach inside the door, at which time the warden restrained him with handcuffs. Wardens soon found a loaded pistol in a magnetic holster inside the driver's door frame, where the man was reaching. ey also discovered an M4 rifle and various narcotics. e investigation went on to show that the ATV was stolen, the pistol was stolen, and the rifle was also flagged as stolen. e driver of the Land Rover was also a convicted felon. Pending charges include a pair of third degree felonies, and three state jail felonies.

Game Wardens Cracking Down on Boat Thefts e Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Marine eft Investigation Unit recently conducted a saturation patrol of Galveston and Harris counties that resulted in the seizure of seven vessels and issuance of numerous citations. e patrol focused on licensed marine dealer inspections, dock checks, and boat ramp patrols. e special unit of Texas game wardens began ramping up efforts in January 2018 and since then has seized 104 vessels with a combined value of over $555,000. e unit's investigations have resulted in 149 boat tax evasion cases, recovering more than $128,000 in revenue, and issuance of over 200 citations. While conducting the saturation patrol, the game wardens received overwhelming support from the general public for their efforts. With these results, it is clear that the Marine eft Investigation Unit is an effective tool for assuring dealer compliance, preventing boat theft, tax and title fraud, and recovery of stolen vessels.

End of a Long Tail Texans don't abide cheaters, particularly in their fishing tournaments. An individual was recently sentenced to jail time, restitution of nearly $3,000, suspension of his fishing license for a year and banishment from fishing in tournaments after he was caught cheating. e court decision was the culmination of a game warden investigation into bass fishing tournament fraud on Decker Lake in Travis and Bastrop counties. e individual used a unique sleight of hand during a catch-and-release kayak fishing event that used photos taken by contestants out on the water of their catches placed on a measuring board, with the angler having the most inches of bass in the aggregate declared the winner. Upon inspection of the violators vessel,

CMYK

a cut tail of a bass was found in the paddle well of the kayak. e violator initially stated he found the cut tail in the reeds and was taking it to shore to turn it in. Later the violator conﬁrmed to have used the tail to place over another bass, using his hand to cover the questionable area, to make the ﬁsh look longer on multiple occasions.

The Pool is Closed An Abilene game warden received information about a family in Hamlin possessing an alligator. e concerned citizen stated that he saw photos posted on Snapchat. e warden drove to the suspect's house, asked if he could see the alligators, and was led to the back yard where he discovered ﬁve baby alligators in a small swimming pool. e warden seized the alligators and took them to the Abilene Zoo for holding until arrangements could be made. Case is pending further investigation.

A Repeat Offender While checking bank fishermen along the East Fork of the Trinity River near Forney, a game warden approached a group of three individuals he observed fishing. An inspection of their catch revealed undersized catfish as small as 6 inches in length and undersized white bass, as well as game fish being used for bait. During an explanation of the regulations, one of the men became increasingly belligerent toward the warden. When told that he was going to receive a citation he grew even more agitated and refused to give his name. e game warden then attempted to place the subject under arrest for failure to ID, but the man pulled away and was taken to the ground. e subject was charged with fishing without a license, failure to ID, and resisting arrest. At the jail, three warrants out of Dallas County were discovered, two of which were for resisting arrest.

No Fame, No Shame Just before midnight back in July, a Van Zandt County game warden approached three individuals as they were wrapping up their night of ﬁshing on the Sabine River. e warden asked if they had any luck and after a long pause and some blank stares one of the individuals spoke up and said they did well. e warden had them open their ice chest, which contained 27 striped and hybrid bass, 12 over their limit. All three individuals were cited for over their daily bag limits. On a side note, all three individuals claimed to be huge fans of the Texas game warden TV show "Lone Star Law." However, when asked if they wanted this incident to be ﬁlmed, they declined.

Are You Prepared for the Next Natural Disaster? resources: ready.gov/build-a-kit and fema.gov. This National Preparedness Month, take steps to prepare your family in the event of a natural disaster or other emergency.

An emergency preparation element often taken for granted is access to safe and potable drinking water. From earthquakes and hurricanes to floods and wildfires, natural disasters can contaminate and disrupt water supplies and systems.

(StatePoint) The devastation of Hurricane Dorian has left an indelible mark and also served as a reminder of the importance of being prepared for the unexpected. Worldwide, 281 natural disasters impacted more than 60 million people in 2018, according to the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters. As unexpected occurrences continue around the globe, it is important to plan how to keep your family healthy and safe in the event an emergency or national disaster strikes close to home. September is National Preparedness Month, and given recent news headlines outlining the devastation left in the wake of natural disasters, now is the perfect time to make simple preparations to ensure your family has essentials on hand for an emergency. While many comprehensive resources exist to help you build an emergency kit, the first step is to start with the basics: water, food, light, communications and first aid.

“During disasters, water systems are often compromised, and it may take days or even weeks for proper testing to be done and for systems to be restored,” says Alison Hill, managing director of LifeStraw, a manufacturer of water filtration systems that has been on the ground in India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Mozambique, here in the US, and most recently the Bahamas, offering support to those affected by devastating natural disasters. While most emergency preparation checklists include clean water, it can be difficult to plan for more than a few days’ supply. Emergency preparation tips suggest keeping a few gallons on hand (about a 3-day supply), however for longer-term protection and to eliminate the bulk and weight of carrying large quantities of water during an evacuation scenario, a personal filtration device stored within your at-home emergency kit or go bag provides greater flexibility and longer-term protection. Options from LifeStraw are a good choice, as they remove virtually all bacteria (99.9999 percent) and parasites (99.99 percent) that can contaminate water when systems break down or present within backup water sources. Because of their ability to filter out these contaminants like E. Coli, Salmonella, Giardia, Cryptosporidium, and other waterborne bacteria and parasites, LifeStraw products make it possible to drink from any nearby river or body of water. The original LifeStraw, is durable, weighs only 2-ounces, is easy to store and lasts for up to 1,000 gallons of water. Its easy to keep a few in an emergency kit or even the glove compartment of your car. LifeStraw also offers other models, such as the LifeStraw Flex with Gravity Bag, LifeStraw Mission, and LifeStraw Community, which are ideal for families and groups.
