Split court drops deputy certificate pay Dave Rogers

For The Record

On a 3-2 vote, Orange County Commissioners’ Court moved Tuesday to end certificate pay for deputy sheriffs.

County Judge Stephen Brint Carlton and Commissioners Jody Crump and Barry Burton voted not to extend a decision to continue voluntarily paying deputies about $300,000 per year for proficiency certifications, essentially continuing education credits.

Commissioners Johnny Trahan and John Gothia voted against stopping the payments.

The effective date of the change will be June 5.

Commissioners had agreed in March to continue making the payments – which Carlton said are not contractually required – if the deputies bargained in good faith toward a new collective bargaining agreement with the counties.

“Do you feel like we’re still moving in the right direction” toward a new agreement?

Gothia asked Carlton, who

along with Crump and attorney Bettye Lynn of Fort Worth, have represented the county in seven negotiating sessions Carlton with the deputies group since March.

Crump and Carlton answered Gothia in unison.

“No,” Crump said.

“Not really at this time,” Carlton said.

Carlton then went over three or four key negotiating points, such as salary, insurance, retirement and holiday pay.

“From where they were four years ago, they’ve roughly gone backwards,” Carlton said of the negotiations with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office Employees’ Assocation.

The county’s contract with the deputies expired at the end of the 2013 budget year, but an “evergreen” clause in it says the CBA’s terms remain in force until a new contract is signed. In March, Carlton revealed there was no “ever-

green” provision for certificate pay; in effect, the county had been voluntarily paying the extra stipends since the end of 2012.

“From the last time it’s mentioned in our contract,

it’s been four years, eight months,” said Carlton, the county’s chief executive.

“That’s a $1.1 million payment beyond terms of our current contract.

“This is kind of a unique

situation. It’s not something the county really does anywhere else, paying several hundred thousands of dollars where we don’t have any contractual obligations.

“Hopefully, we’ll come to

some sort of agreement soon.

As soon as we get a contract signed, we’ll start paying its [certificate pay] again.”

Former Orange resident Paul A. Mattingly, Jr., will be signing his book, “From Orange to Singapore: A Shipyard Builds a Legacy” about the efforts of Orange’s Levingston Shipyard during and after World War II.

The Houston resident practically grew up on the docks when he spent 12 early years in Orange as the son of the chief financial officer for Levingston Shipbuilding Co. His family was here from 1940-54 as the company begun in 1930 by Capt. George Levingston was the U.S. Navy’s leading producer of ocean-going tugs. After the war, Levingston Shipbuilding was a leader in offshore drilling, eventually transitioning to a builder of jackup oil platforms.

In his book, Mattingly offers many interesting stores of a group of workers who, with their can-do spirit, forged the pioneering company. From the building of the Kennedy Class ferries for Staten Island, the New York Harbor tugboats for Moran Towing, the Glomar Challenger ocean research vessel, to the current connection to Keppel FELS (Far East Levingston Shipbuilding), the largest builder of jackup rigs in the world, Mattingly recounts the legacy of a little shipyard in Orange, Texas.

The author has always felt like a child of the Levingston Shipbuilding Co. culture and decided to document its history.

From the days of World War II, the saga weaves a story from Orange to New York Harbor, to Venezuela, to Iran, to Singapore and involves tugboats, barges, ferries, and offAUTHOR Page 2A

Prodigal son has big plans for hometown Dave Rogers

Orange didn’t so much as lose a well-known company name as it gained a big civic booster.

Orange native Bill Shaddock, the owner and CEO of Capital Title, which acquired Sabine Title on May 15, said he owes a lot to his upbringing in Orange and he wants to give back.

His father, Dr. C.B. Carroll Shaddock, Jr., was a longtime general practitioner in Orange. Bill Shaddock, the youngest of three sons, graduated from Orange Stark High School before leaving for college.

“I grew up in Orange,” the younger Shaddock said. “My dad was a doctor there for 35 years. I lived in the community, loved the community. I left to learn what I needed to learn and build what I chose to build but I now chose to bring it all back to my original hometown.”

Now in his mid 60s, Shaddock oversees a company that is the largest independently owned title company in the state of Texas, with more than 75 offices statewide.

And it’s just one of several of the family businesses.

Oldest brother Carroll is an attorney in Houston, while Bill and middle brother Peter,

a Dallas homebuilder, are partners in a real estate development system. Bill’s children, William, Andrew and Caroline, are all working “in various stages of our business, in our office with me.”

Bill Shaddock met his wife, Kim, at Baylor, where he was studying for a law degree. Previously, he earned his bachelors in finance at TCU and a MBA at SMU.

“I was an attorney and a real estate attorney. Then I became a fee attorney, associated with the title business,” Shaddock recalled. “I started very, very small, just by myself.”

That was 1987.

Over the next 15 years, Shaddock grew and expanded his operation into the largest fee office network in the state with 25 offices in the Dallas-

Fort Worth and Houston areas.

In 2006, Shaddock purchased Capital Title of Texas and merged his network into the new company.

Shaddock said his business did about $7,500 in revenues his first year. “This year, that business will do $100 million.”

And he credits his Orange SHADDOCK Page 3A

“Look at our website: The 10 values and ideals that serve as the cornerstone of our company are things I learned growing up in Orange,” he said.

“That’s what I’d credit Orange with.

“In my home, the church and the community.

Those were strong values, the cornerstone of our entire company. It’s building personal relationShaddock ships.”

In his dealings with Sabine Title employees, all of whom will remain in place, Shaddock said, he has already created relationships.

“It’s been a great change,” says Amy Yadon, escrow officer at the Orange Capital Title office. “Everyone is really excited in the community. The realtors, the lenders we deal with. It’s not like your big corporate company.

“Mr. Shaddock is probably the most personable man I’ve ever met. He’s so good to all of us.”

The company once owned by the late Lynwood Sanders – he did title work for the Toledo Bend Reservoir -- will continue to be run by Roger Conway, Shaddock said.

“We have retained all existing employees and hope to grow employment all the time,” Shaddock said.

Shaddock has been busy in his hometown for a while.

He looked into buying the Orange train depot a few years ago, about the same time as did Carrie Woliver, a Stark High classmate of his brother Peter.

“I stopped down there on one of my visits. It was unkempt and the weeds had grown around it. I told people to leave me a lawnmower and I’d cut the grass up there,” Bill Shaddock said.

Woliver and her husband bought the depot and helped create the Friends of the Orange Depot, to which they donated the building that has recently been restored.

“We were thrilled to hear that Bill’s company purchased Sabine Title,” Woliver said. “He’s quite an entrepreneur.

“Bill wanted to save the depot about the same time I did. Jay Trahan [Orange Director of Economic Development] put us together. He has served on the Friends of Orange Depot board since its inception in 2013.

“He supports us financially. For the last two years, he has been one of the larger sponsors of our gala.”

Shaddock said he has a keen interest in the work going on to bring a new hospital to Orange.

“Baptist Hospital leaving, that upsets me. My dad was part of the group that got that hospital going. He helped build the hospital,” Shaddock said. “I don’t like the fact that the hospital is not going. That is not OK with me. I’m going to try to do something about it.

“I’m an optimistic and positive attitude type person. We need to figure out what needs to be done and we need to get busy doing it.”

Seriously.

Shaddock says he loves the city where he grew up sacking groceries for Kroger’s on 16th Street and delivering clothes for Smith’s Reliable Cleaners.”

“We do have a state-wide organization but I do want to come back more than I have previously,” he said. “I decided if I came to Orange, it would make me much more attuned to the needs and able to help it.

“We’re not looking just to do business in Orange. We’re looking to build Orange. I want to be part of the group to build the city, build the county, build Orange and Orange County.

“What’s the old saying? Here I am Lord. Send me in coach. I’m there for good. What can we do to build Orange and Orange County into the best county in the United States?”

shore equipment in the Gulf of Mexico. The linkage of Levingston with the world of earth science created a revolutionary shipbuilding project.

Mattingly returned to Houston in 1954 and earned a business degree from the University of Houston.

In 1975, he moved his family from Houston to the “Golden Triangle” where he took over the leadership of Marine and Petroleum Manufacturing Co., Inc. in Orange, a company his father had founded after leaving Levingston. The family resided in Beaumont, Texas, for the next 35 years.

George Levingston’s father, Samuel H. Levingston, an immigrant from Northern Ireland, started building ships in Orange in 1859. He built paddle-wheel steamers for service on the Sabine River and converted river steamers to gunboats for the Confederate Navy.

Captain George helped Joe Weaver start and operate Weaver’s Shipbuilding in Orange from 1896 to 1914.

In 1945, George Levingston sold Levingston Shipbuilding to Edgar W. Brown Jr., a major figure in the lumber industry in East Texas.

was one of three big financial items considered late in a nearly three-hour meeting.

No changes to retiree health insurance or the county’s Employee Pay Matrix were made, though it was agreed that a 1.5 percent to 5 percent raise for each ladder on the matrix should be the goal of the 2017-18 budgeting process set to begin this summer.

That would cost the county between $120,000 and $400,000 per year, Carlton said.

But commissioners want the increase in pay to be paid for by a reduction in the county’s retirement health insurance payments for future hires.

Tuesday, commissioners voted down two proposals.

Gothia put forth a motion, seconded by Trahan, that for all employees hired on or after Oct. 1, 2017 [the start of the new budget year], the county would cap its under-65 retirement health care contributions at $750, and the county would pay no more than $350 a month for “supplemental” healthcare for retirees between 65-70.

Burton asked Gothia to withdraw his proposal and hold it for a week so he could have more time to review it. When Gothia declined, Burton joined Carlton and Crump in voting against it.

Then Carlton made a motion, seconded by Crump, that all employees hired after Oct. 1, 2017 be ineligible for a county subsidy for retiree health care, meaning insurance benefits paid by the county during their employment, would cease upon retirement.

“That would be like what Jefferson County has now: when you retire, the county does not contribute any more.”

This vote also failed 2-3. Burton said he had to vote no to be consistent and Trahan and Gothia joined him on the nay side.

The day’s session began with separate presentations by Julie Rogers “Gift of Life” Foundation and Wells Fargo Bank.

Gift of Life will sponsor free men’s healthcare screenings in Orange, from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, June 10 at Lamar State College-Orange.

Other screening sites include Beaumont Civic Center, 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, June 3; and the Parker Center at Lamar State College-Port Arthur 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, June 3.

Zachary Thomas of Wells Fargo gave a presentation on the eight key rule to financial health.

Orangefield’s oldest grads get diplomas Depression often a

precursor to falls in elderly people

Staff Report For The Record

Depression appears to raise the risk of falls in elderly people, but the proper dose of psychiatric medication may eliminate that risk, a new study suggests.

“Many interventions to prevent falls are expensive and time-intensive, but this is a simple and inexpensive matter of encouraging continued use of psychiatric medication while improving monitoring of fall risk and adjusting medication appropriately,” said lead researcher Geoffrey Hoffman.

He is a research fellow and an assistant professor of nursing at the University of Michigan’s School of Nursing.

To examine the link between depression and fall risk, Hoffman’s team looked at falls involving more than 7,200 people 65 and older who were part of the National Health and Retirement Study between 2006 and 2010.

A moderate rise in symptoms of depression among older people was linked with a 30 percent increase in falling within two years. But when

the researchers added medication use into the mix, the strength of the association between depressive symptoms and falls dropped to insignificant levels.

Hoffman cautioned that doctors and older patients should still weigh the risks and benefits of psychiatric medication.

And physicians should be particularly careful when prescribing and dosing certain medications such as tranquilizers, antidepressants and anxiety drugs for their older patients.

Falls among the elderly cost about $30 billion a year in the United States, and up to half of nursing home admissions follow a fall, the researchers noted. About one-third of Americans 65 or older fall each year, and about 10 percent of all elderly people are injured during falls.

The findings were published recently in the journal Social Science & Medicine.

Orangefield natives Stanley Simon, 95, and Rev. Abe Simon, 90, show off their long-awaited high school diplomas during Saturday’s Orangefield High School commencement ceremony at the Beaumont Civic Center. The two brothers attended and played football for Orangefield High but joined the Army during World War II prior to graduating. A state law now guarantees diplomas for students who are called to serve in wartime before graduation.

Stanley, who now lives in Beaumont, was in the Allied invasion force on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Abe, a minister for more than 60 years now living in Richmond, Virginia, was training as a paratrooper for the U.S. invasion of Japan when the war ended in late 1945.

Bystander CPR helps save brain function after near-drowning Randy Dotinga Health Day News Service

Near-drowning victims are more likely to recover with good brain function if bystanders immediately begin chest compressions rather than wait for emergency personnel to arrive, researchers report.

“What we found is that when bystanders begin CPR [cardiopulmonary resuscitation] before emergency personnel arrive, the person has a higher chance of leaving the hospital and leading a life reasonably close to the one they had before the drowning,” said study leader Dr. Joshua Tobin.

He is an associate professor of clinical anesthesiology at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine.

Drowning claims about 10 lives a day in the United States, the study authors said in a school news release.

The new study included more than 900 cases of people who suffered cardiac arrest after almost drowning.

“When we talk about cardiac arrest, there’s no doubt that we want people to survive. But surviving and being in a per-

sistent vegetative state would not be considered a success by most people. That’s why we chose to stratify the results by favorable or unfavorable neurological outcomes,” Tobin said.

The investigators found that near-drowning victims who got CPR from a bystander were three times more likely to do well, as far as brain function was concerned.

But near-drowning victims appeared to do worse if they were treated with automated external defibrillators (AEDs), which are common in public places. The researchers aren’t sure how to explain the discrepancy.

“It’s difficult to say why

AED application prior to [emergency medical services] arrival portended a worse neurological outcome in this study. Perhaps AED application distracted bystanders from giving good, uninterrupted CPR,” Tobin said.

“What we do know, though,

is that this study adds to a growing body of evidence that bystander CPR improves outcomes in cardiac arrest,” he added. “It also provides a compelling reason for people to learn this lifesaving technique.”

Even if you don’t know CPR, you may be able to help someone suffering from cardiac arrest with help from an emergency dispatcher, Tobin said.

“Call 911, do chest compressions at 100 beats per minute, and you could save someone’s life,” he said.

The study is published in the June issue of Resuscitation.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Calvin Comeaux came into some money a few years ago.

His Grandpa died and Calvin was left in good financial shape. Calvin him, got to spending most of his time on da golf course. Last mon’h him, he took a trip to Las Vagus.

While dere, Calvin met a women and fell head over heels in love wit her. On da last night before Calvin was leaving to return to Breaux Bridge, he and dis gorgeous women went to dinner. Dey had dem a serious talk bout’ how dey felt bout’ one anutta and how dey would continue dere relationship.

Calvin done fall in love him. He told his new love, “Babe, it’s only fair to warn you dat I’m a golf nut me, I eat, sleep and breath golf. I care a lot bout’ you, but if my golf is a problem, you’d better say so now.”

The woman answered, “Well, if we’re being honest and coming clean with each other, here goes, I’m a hooker.”

Calvin was quite for a moment, den he says, “I see, you know wat Babe, it’s probably because you’re not keeping your wrists straight.”

C’EST TOUT OUR NATION STUCK IN PARK It’s been well over a year since I wrote that if the GOP nominated Donald Trump he would wreck the Republican Party. Then I later added if he were elected United States president, it would be four years of chaos misrepresentation.

You see, he never was a Republican, he conned people into believing he was the only person that could “Fix It.” He said “I alone can fix it.” For many years he has been a New York shyster like Ted Cruz said he was. Wait and see, time and history will likely prove that Trump is the most corrupt president ever. Can you believe he wanted a straight, private line to Putin and the Kremlin and Putin would control the line.

He sent son-in-law Jared Kushner and Flynn to make the deal. The biggest joke is that now they are spinning that the private line to the White House, with Putin controlling the switch, is a good thing. Kushner was trying to pull off a good thing alright, for the Trump to communicate with the guy he’s joined at the hip with. One of the things I said was that he would never release his tax returns. It ain’t never gonna happen. I also wrote that he would never get on Putin’s bad side. The Trump brand would be leaving too much on the table. Believe me, it doesn’t get any better. Trump promised more and delivered less than any president in modern times.*****Some great stuff to read in this issue. Read us cover to cover. Please shop with the good folks who bring you this newspaper every week. I don’t know how well I’ve done, but I’m all done in. I’m headed to the wagon. These shoes are killing me. Take care and God bless.

Long ago summer evenings on Grandma’s porch

Down Life’s Highway Roy Dunn For e Record After what little supper we had was eaten, the chores of another day put away, we gathered on Grandma Avelia’s little front porch. She rocked in her favorite rocker holding her rosary. at rocker today is a prized possession of mine. It sets proudly in my bedroom where it’s a constant reminder of those simple days of my childhood.

June was a favorite month for porch sitting, with lightning bugs glowing beautifully and a cool breeze usually blowing.

Porch sitting wasn’t only for relaxation; it was almost a necessity. With the lack of electricity, there was no way to cool those little houses that turned into furnaces under the sundrenched, hot South Louisiana summers. We stayed outdoors until the house cooled down some; it never cooled enough to prevent a lot of sweating.

Mosquito dope in any form was unheard of, so we made our own by starting a fire and loading it down with green limbs, leaves, grass and even pieces of old tires, to make a black, thick smoke that drove the pest away.

We had to make sure the fire was in the right place so as not to drive us away. e evening Vaiea (va-yeah) was a favorite time for the Cajun, time to reflect on the day’s events. Too poor for anything else, this special time was something we could share.

Sometimes neighborhood children and their parents came over for the Vaiea. We young’uns would play our favorite games like hide-n-seek, leap frog, pitching washers or gathering jars of lightning bugs.

Exhausted by bedtime, there was always one more chore before turning in; washing your feet was a must. A pan or bucket of water stood at the

doorsteps. e big bath came up on Saturday, but you washed up every morning and never failed to wash your feet at night.

I often sat on that little porch and made dreams for tomorrow and thought about far away places. I learned my first song on that porch while playing a homemade guitar built with a cigar box and wire from a screen door, stretched and attached to a handle. I strummed it to the words of Gov. Jimmie Davis’ song, “You Are My Sunshine.” I couldn’t carry a tune then, and in a lifetime still can’t.

About the time I was 10 years old, we really came on hard times. Mom, who took in washing and ironing for the betteroff uptown folks, broke a needle in her hand, which got infected.

We had no other income, so I took a job at Irby’s Restaurant in town, on the Court House Square. I washed dishes for 50 cents a day on the 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. shift, then took the long, dark walk home. After a little while, I hired on at Harry’s Midway Restaurant. I washed dishes and peeled potatoes. I’d peel and cut them up into large French Fries that I then put in a bucket filled with cold water. I sat in a little dirt floor shack peeling until the dishes piled up inside. When I’d get caught up with dishes, I’d peel gallons more. My deal, besides a $1 a day, was that I got to keep the peelings. Mom would make soup or thick gravy to put on rice. ey inspected the peelings regularly to make sure I wasn’t leaving too much meat on the peelings. I’ve told this story before in another column.

I recall one night, as I sat there peeling, tears started down my cheeks. My thoughts were of home and family, gathered on the old front porch. is was one of the few times that I felt sorry for myself. I longed to be there with family and neighbors at the happiest time of the day. e front porch remained a factor in the American family life until World War II. In the great upheaval of war, customs began to change. Electricity and the radio changed habits also. It was as if that great porch time went off to war and never came back.

Grandma’s porch is still standing. Every once in awhile I go back to Abbeville, stop and look at the house and recall those happy times so many long years ago. e house where I used to sit, run and play, is much the same, but the old folks have gone away. Old Rover

no longer roams the lawn. My roots run deep in that old place, next to the railroad track.

Sometimes I think I can hear nostalgic sounds of yester-year.

I built castles and dreamed dreams there, and I have come full circle and seen many come and go.

I have worked since the earliest day I can remember, but the time had come to slow down.

No more 14-hour, seven-day weeks. Now I put in about six hours. Early-morning starts leave plenty of time to enjoy my porch. After Hurricane Rita, we built a special window-lined porch which houses artifacts that have traveled down life’s highway with me or that I picked up along the way.

I feed the coons, birds and other varmints. e Cardinals are plentiful, and a flock of ringneck doves prance like chickens. Phyl has built a great back yard, which displays sweet smelling antique roses, handed down for generations and a large variety of flowering plants that attract many butterflies and hummingbirds. e Camphor trees also put out their own aroma. Phyl, with the help of son Allen, keeps the place up, and it is pleasant and relaxing.

Along with Roxie, my cat, I spend a lot of time on the porch and court yard. is time around, instead of dreaming of the future, I look back at the road I’ve traveled, gifts the wealthiest can’t buy. Memories are golden roses.

On this, my birthday, deep in life, I treasure the friends I’ve made along the way and the moments of life I spent with them and family. e joy of enjoying this porch seems to go back to a simple life that has come a long way. is time around, however, with all the perks, that’s all the gifts I need. Good health, good family and great friends. I’m truly blessed in the fourth quarter of what has been and is a good life.

Regrets, I have few, but I do miss the family and great friends I’ve lost along the way Down Life’s Highway. My joy now is all the grandchildren and great grandchildren Phyl and I have been blessed with.

My partner, my friend, we are coming on 63 years together. I learned as a youngster on the old porch that life is how you face it. We were really poor but we found happiness in each other and I’ve tried to live my life that way. It’s not our possessions that make for a good life, it’s the way one lives it.

S.A.L.T. tourney Cardinals, Mustangs make playoff exits is in the books Dave Rogers

For The Record

Capt. Dickie Colburn

COLBURN: FISHING Capt. Dickie Colburn For The Record The 42^nd Annual Memorial Classic is officially in the book and the fishermen that participated in the two day S.A.L.T. tournament managed to weigh-in some very solid catches in spite of the weather.A little bit of rain and sunshine and a whole lot of wind changed a lot of game plans.

This tournament not only kicks off the summer for most local saltwater anglers, but always provides a pretty good read as to the current status of Sabine Lake fishing.The final weigh-in confirmed the fact that it is probably a little better than most folks thought.

Justin Trahan took home the first place check for the largest red with a 9.74 pound red.Four of the top four were all over the nine pound mark.

Edna Ramsey won the bonus check for the red with the most spots.Her winning fish looked more like a leopard than a fish with a whopping 46 spots!

While seven of the top ten trout failed to eclipse the four pound mark, Mike Fresco’s winning 27-inch speck weighed a very impressive 7.99 pounds.Devin Cryer’s 4.58 pound winning flounder was one of the seven top ten flounder released alive.

Matthew McBee won the sheepshead division with a 5.73 pound fish, Chris Wolfe earned first place honors with a 6.01 drum and Courtney LeBlanc took home a first place check for her 1.0 flounder. Kristen Zenos posted a two day total of sixteen pounds to win this year’s Lady Angler Award.

The S.A.L.T. Club hosts family oriented tournaments every month and welcome new members and their families to join in the fun.Entry fees are low and it gives you one more reason to “have to go” fishing!

James and Kelly Parsons of Houston enjoyed a bitter sweet trip on Sabine Lake this weekend. “We had a pile of good reasons not to drive over and fish the S.A.L.T. tournament with our cousin, but wound up just fishing for fun anyway,” said Kelly.“Too many people out on a holiday, the wind was going to blow, we didn’t catch anything the weekend before…..all good reasons to stay home, but there we were launching our boat at the R.V. park on the island at 10.00 in the morning.”

The initial game plan was to run from the R.V. Park across the lake to the Garrison’s Ridge area in hopes of finding a little clearer water.

About half way across, the Parson’s cousin, Tim, spotted several terns working pretty tightly.Not usually a dependable indicator of fish, but with nothing to lose, they shutdown the big engine and troll motored within casting range.

“The next time we picked up the troll motor,” said Kelly, “we had 27 trout and nine slot reds in the ice box. Tim griped the entire time because we didn’t enter the tournament, but we wouldn’t have won a single category.”

Nonetheless, the trio stumbled up on one of those bites that used to be common place on the lake this time of the year.The best news of all for local anglers is that the potential for more of those type outings still exists.

Too many anglers refer to terns as liar birds, but I wouldn’t pass up terns, gulls,

The high school baseball playoffs for Orange County teams came to a sudden ending last weekend as China Spring rallied from a 9-6 deficit to defeat Bridge City 10-9 on a walkoff two-RBI hit.

That came on Saturday, 48 hours after West OrangeStark’s season ended with a 4-2 loss to Robinson.

The Mustangs’ bid to return to the state tournament for the second time in three years ended with a 27-4 record after coming up short in their one-game playoff.

Bridge City, the third-place finisher in District 22-4A, finished 21-14 overall.

China Spring, BC exchange rallies

After falling 5-2 in Thursday’s opener after leading 2-0, the Cardinals used a six-run fifth inning to power past China Spring 10-8 in the second game of the best-of-three series Saturday and force a winner-take-all finale.

The Cards opened the final game with a four-run first frame but trailed 6-4 after five innings. That’s when they scored five runs in the sixth to lead 9-6.

But China Spring fought back to within 9-8 after its half of the sixth, then plated two runs on a two-out, twostrike bases-loaded hit in the bottom of the seventh.

The Cards used a total of five pitchers in the final game of the series played totally at Montgomery High School.

Caleb Dubois, Kevin Gordon, Logan Hamm and Justyn Romero all went 2 for 4 in the final game, with Dubois knocking in a pair of runs. In all, BC had 13 hits in the game but its pitching issued nine walks.

In the Cardinals’ 10-8 win, Schuyler Thibodaux, Dubois and Gordon were each 2 for 4, with Dubois driving in a pair of runs.

Jacob Goodman and Romero split the pitching duties, each pitching three-plus innings.

Bridge City only had four hits in the opening loss, with Thibodaux going 2 for 4.

Robinson pitcher Dru

Those hits cut the WOS deficit to 3-2 but the Rockets were able to add a run in the bottom of the sixth.

Terrell Owens of the Dallas Cowboys helps himself to some popcorn as part of an end zone celebration.

The NFL has loosened its rules for these celebrations for the upcoming season.

NFL changes rule for 2017 overtime games KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

Usually whenever the National Football League changes any rule of the game it’s for the benefit of the league or the fans.

But after last week’s Spring League Meeting in Chicago, the change that has created the most attention is the one pertaining to the length of the overtime period. e NFL owners, in their infinite wisdom, reduced the overtime period from 15 minutes to 10 minutes during the preseason and regular season because of coaches’ concerns that too many players were exhausted and risking injuries by the end of the extra period.

Unbelievably, the rule change is aimed at improving player safety. “ere have been concerns about the number of additional plays teams undergo while playing a full 15-minute overtime period, especially when one of the teams is subject to playing its next game on a short week,” commented NFL Network’s Judy Battista.

According to an article by the Associated Press last week, playoff games will also use the 10-minute time blocks in overtime but the games will not end in ties.

“Research suggests the number of games that will go into overtime and end up tied will climb slightly. Over the past five years, with the 15-minute period in use, the league has averaged about one tie game each season. Projections show that could climb to three,” the AP article points out.

A l th o u g h the idea of 10-minute overtime has been a topic that has caused much comment, the change shouldn’t lead to a significant increase in the scores.

According to NFL Research, there have been 83 overtime games over the last five seasons since the league gave the opposing team a chance at the ball after a field goal was made, 22 of them lasting at least 10 minutes into overtime. at works out to 26.5 percent of the past five seasons overtime games, that theoretically would have been affected by last week’s rule change. e average time elapsed in overtime during the last five years is 7 minutes, 43 seconds. ere have been five games that ended in a tie in those five seasons, an average of one per year. If overtime had ended after 10 minutes, there would have been 16 total ties, for an average of 3.2 times over a 512game season.

“We think this is an important change, particularly for teams that may be into an overtime situation that may have to come back and play on a ursday night, so it’s a positive change,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell added.

I believe it would be logically irresponsible to assume that nothing would change if both teams knew they had 10 minutes rather than 15 minutes in an overtime period.

with 5:06 left to play in OT, they certainly would attempt a Hail Mary in that same position with six seconds remaining.

A team that wins the overtime coin toss and has a couple of bulls in the backfield could literally run the ball on every play, moving it downfield with less than two minutes to play.

If they got stymied in the red zone, they could kick a chipshot field goal and leave the opponent less than two minutes to try to go 60 or 70 yards for the tying field goal or the gamewinning touchdown. Both scenarios are quite unlikely.

ESPN took into account as much as possible when reviewing every overtime game since 2012 in an effort to determine how many of those 22 games that stretched beyond 10 minutes would have affected last season’s playoff picture. is exercise showed that several teams would have had their post-season fate altered had this rule change come along within the past five years—new division winners, a reshuffling of seeds and even a reigning Super Bowl champ that missed the playoffs the next season.

Last week’s meeting also loosened the rule about end zone celebrations following touchdowns, allowing players to again use the football as a prop, celebrate as a group and roll around or flap their arms like a snow angel on the ground again if they choose.

Still frowned on by the league are taunting, celebrations that delay the game, anything imitating weapons and anything that is offensive, like twerking.

GAME WARDEN FIELD NOTES

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

Baiting the Baiters On opening day of the spring Eastern turkey hunting season, Red River County game wardens were revisiting areas they had discovered during recent patrols that had been baited with corn. They observed four separate hunters actively hunting Eastern turkey over bait in violation of state game laws. One hunter shot a turkey over the bait, but was unsuccessful in finding it. Other hunting license violations were also encountered during these contacts. Multiple cases are pending.

Net Loss Responding to a tip from an Operation Game Thief call, a Tarrant County game warden caught four

men fishing with a cast net and keeping game fish in violation of state fishing laws. The men were in possession of 130 crappie, 64 yellow bass, 8 black bass, and 37 perch.

About 50 of the crappie and bass were undersized. None of the men had fishing licenses. The fish were cleaned and donated. Multiple cases filed.

Caught with the Loot Game wardens patrolling the tornado disaster area in Van Zandt County to minimize looting problems and enforce a mandatory curfew stopped a suspicious vehicle filled with several miscellaneous items that appeared to be potentially stolen from homes in the area. Upon questioning the subject and searching the vehicle, it was discovered he was in possession of 18 grams of a crystallike substance believed to be methamphetamine, marijuana,

scales, baggies, and other drug paraphernalia. With assistance from the Van Zandt County Sheriff's Office and state troopers, the subject was then transported and booked into the Van Zandt County Jail for manufacturing and distributing narcotics, a first degree felony. Cases are pending.

a.k.a Under Arrest Smith County game wardens were patrolling Lake Tyler when they made contact with a group of individuals fishing in a park on the lake.

One of the individuals identified himself by a name that wardens learned was an alias and tagged with outstanding arrest warrants. The suspect was arrested without incident, but had an extensive criminal history, including assault on a public servant and assault with a deadly weapon.

The subject's warrant was a felony theft warrant out of Smith County

and felony evading arrest from Corrigan Police Department.

A Gator Tale In March, a Duval County game warden got a tip about four individuals who had killed an alligator on the Nueces River in McMullen County.

The individual gave the warden a list of the four suspects, a narrative of how the violation was committed and a picture of two individuals posing with the alligator. Several wardens executed a search warrant of a residence where two of the suspects were located. After initial denials of any knowledge of the event, one of the suspects admitted to catching an alligator and knocking it out with a paddle, then taking it to the bank to kill and skin. He also implicated three other individuals in the crime; however, he claimed he had no idea where the alligator skull was. The second suspect was interviewed and corroborated the first suspect's story and confirmed the involvement of two other individuals.

A girlfriend of one of the suspects mentioned in passing the group typically throws all of their fish guts over the fence in the back lot. The game wardens searched the lot and found the alligator skull in the brush. One of the suspects knew where the third individual lived, and took the game wardens to his house. Upon seeing his accomplice and the game wardens, the third individual immediately acknowledged that they were probably there because of the alliga-

tor and admitted to his involvement in killing the alligator. All of the suspects filled out statements naming themselves and each other in the crime. In total, 16 citations and civil restitution for the alligator are pending.

Speared Comal County game wardens responded to the Guadalupe River in New Braunfels near the Faust Street Bridge on a report of a person illegally shooting bass with a homemade spear gun. Upon arrival, the wardens observed the suspect in the river with his spear gun and in possession of an undersized largemouth bass that he had caught/killed with the device. The man also did not have a fishing license. Cases are pending.

Prop Scar Comal County game wardens were called to the scene of a boating accident at Cranes Mill Marina on Canyon Lake where a 19-year-old male was struck by a boat propeller when he jumped in the lake unexpectedly to relieve himself. The individual was struck on his left shin and calf and received a significant laceration requiring medical transport to University Hospital in San Antonio.

The investigation is still ongoing.

Eaglets Down A Stephens County game warden received a call about a bald eagle's nest that had blown out of a tree near

Hubbard Creek Lake Dam. The reporting party stated they had seen young bald eagles in the nest earlier that week and that there were mature eagles circling the area around the destroyed nest. The warden located the nest and found two juvenile bald eagles laying on the ground next to the nest. Both eagles appeared to be unharmed and in decent condition. Arrangements were made to take the birds to the wild bird rescue facility in Wichita Falls.

The Joys of Spotlighting Game wardens responded to a call in Refugio County about a vehicle spotlighting from the roadway.

With assistance from the caller, the wardens stopped three individuals in a vehicle on a rural road. After a lengthy investigation and interview, it was found the three subjects were, in fact, out joy riding with intentions of hunting from the road. Multiple citations were issued.

Net Loss is Net Gain Game wardens recently retrieved 31 sections of illegal gill net and four illegal crab traps from the Rio Grande River in Cameron County.

The illegal net measured over 2,325 yards in length. The gill nets contained numerous species of fish including: snook, spotted sea trout, black drum, sheepshead, blue catfish, tilapia, carp and mullet. Many of the fish were able to be cut free from the net and returned to the Rio Grande River.

Dallas led his team to the Region III-4A semifinals this sea-

son after the Mustangs reached the state finals and the region quarterfinals the previous two seasons.

A right-hander, he went 11-2 on the year for the Mustangs, who were 27-4. His earned run average was 0.86 and he struck

out 119 batters in 81.2 innings.

Dallas also batted .375 for WO-S. Quarterback on back-to-back Class 4A state champion football teams, he is set to attend Lamar University on a footballbaseball scholarship.

Trading on the internet can be a wild experience with deals on practically anything and everything one can imagine just a click away. Some online sellers in the Houston area learned this week that illegal sales of wildlife products can become high ticket items.

Texas game wardens made multiple criminal cases this week against individuals attempting to sell online various threatened and protected wildlife species, as well as state and federally regulated natural resources. Navigating through internet forums and online marketplaces where trade in both live wildlife and wildlife parts are known to occur, wardens were able to negotiate undercover transactions with willing sellers to purchase

things like a 100-pound alligator snapping turtle and a timber rattlesnake, both threatened species in Texas, as well as live alligators, illegal Gulf shrimp and raptor parts.

During the four day operation, game wardens made multiple cases, including seizures of illegally obtained and possessed wildlife. Appropriate citations were issued and live native species were released back into their natural habitat. Citations included charges for sale and possession of threatened species, sale of migratory duck parts, sale of live American alligators, Illegal sale of aquatic product (Gulf shrimp), no retail / truck dealer’s license, and failure to possess non-game dealer permit. All citations issued were class C misdemeanor violations

Korner KWICKIES…e Houston Astros continue to pound the opposition into submission, boasting a major league baseball best 36-16 record through Monday’s Memorial Day action in Minnesota against the Twins, where Houston rallied from an early 8-2 deficit, scoring 11 runs in the eighth inning and three in the ninth to win 16-8.

The last time Houston scored 11 runs in one inning was in July, 1994 against the St. Louis Cardinals in the Astrodome.

Takuma Sato became the first Japanese driver to win the Indianapolis 500 Sunday, driving a race car with a Honda engine.

Winners of last weekend’s conference baseball tournaments include Sam Houston State in the Southland, Oklahoma State in the Big 12, University of Houston in the American, Rice in Conference USA and LSU in the Southeastern Conference.

From Page 3B Both Kentucky Derby winner Always Dreaming and Preakness champ Cloud Computing will be missing from the upcoming Belmont Stakes, the third jewel of horse racing’s Triple Crown. So it appears the race will be wide open for the event that runs a week from this Saturday.

Kevin Kisner used three consecutive birdies on the first three holes of the back nine and then held on to win the Colonial Sunday by a single stroke over Jordan Spieth, Sean O’Hair and Jon Rahm. It was the second PGA Tour win for Kisner as he put together rounds of 67-67-70-66—270 to pocket the $1.242 million first place check.

And I must give a little ink to my sister Bobbie Wechter for getting a hole-in-one last week on a 127-yard par 3 hole at a course in her home town of Spring Hill,

Fla. She has tied our late mother for an ace and got to within one of me. Our brother Dick has been taking lessons like mad trying to join us. e Fort Worth Telegram in a recent article suggests that Dallas Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones consider picking up unsigned Colin Kaepernick as the team’s back-up quarterback. I don’t think Kaepernick would buy into the deal, if it were to materialize.

JUST BETWEEN US…It so much better recuperating from my 6 1/2–hour reverse colostomy surgery at home than in the hospital. But Dr. Carlos Morales did a magnificent job laparoscopically and the nurses, respiratory and rehab techs at Baptist Hospital in Beaumont were fabulous. But it’s great to be home pounding on this computer again!!!

Colburn pelicans or even vultures right now.Regardless of the type of bird, they are worth checking out anytime they are reluctant to leave a small patch of water.

Kelly said that as aggressive as their fish were, both the trout and the redfish, they still caught most of them bouncing their lures off the bottom.ey caught all of their fish on a chartreuse-orange tail Swim bait and a chartreuse-silver flake paddle tail

punishable by fine from $25 — $500.

Federal laws regulating the sale of wildlife include the Migratory Bird Treaty Act; the Endangered Species Act (which bans the interstate or international sell of listed species and most products made from them); and the Marine Mammal Protection Act (which limits the sale of most marine mammal parts and products, other than those crafted by Native Alaskans).

Additional covert wild web operations are being considered elsewhere around the state, however, the public is urged to help augment game warden efforts by notifying Operation Game ief at 800-792-GAME about possible illegal online wildlife trade activity .

From Page 1B grub. “We continued catching trout thirty minutes after the terns left and we never saw them again!”

Congratulations to six year old Katy Collins who caught her first keeper redfish while fishing with her Dad this weekend.“e fish weighed six pounds and after several hundred pictures she turned it loose,” reported her proud Dad, Len. “I asked her to hold the rod while I dug

around for her granola bars and the next thing I know she is hanging on for dear life and screaming. I was proud and excited and all of those things that she caught the fish on her own, but I was even prouder of the fact that she hung on to my custom rod and Shimano reel!”

He ended his email with, “at was the only bite we got all morning long.”

The Unwelcome Gift of Waiting fulfillment of God’s promise.

God could fulfill his promise any way he chose, including raising Isaac from the dead if he needed to (Hebrews 11:19).

So, ultimately Abraham’s faith lay in the trustworthiness of God.

The Most Precious Answer

Vaneetha Rendall Risner Regular Contributor For desiringGod.org Waiting can be agonizing.

It’s hardest to wait when I am uncertain about the outcome. When I’m trusting God for the best, while at the same time preparing for the worst.

It would be much easier if I had a guaranteed good outcome. Or at least a promise from God to hold on to. Or some reassurance to anchor my prayers. But God often seems silent when I’m waiting.

I have no idea whether he’ll ever answer my prayer, so it feels like I’m waiting in the dark.

I have read and reread Psalm 13:1–2, “How long, O Lord?

Will you forget me forever?

How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day?” O Lord, how long? I have asked that question many times. If I knew God would eventually answer my prayer with “Yes,” it would be different. But with no such assurance, even a “No” would often be easier than “Wait.”

When God Says “No” Several years ago, I searched the Bible to find a promise that would help me in the midst of a torturous wait. I wanted a word that I could “claim” — a verse that would assure me of eventual satisfaction. Something, anything, to cling to. As I was waiting, I read, “No unbelief made

[Abraham] waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised” (Romans 4:20–21).

While I admire Abraham’s faith, this passage often frustrated me. Of course Abraham never wavered. He had a direct word from God. If I had a direct promise from God, an assurance of my answer, then I’d be content to wait, too. Abraham could wait because he knew he’d get what he wanted in the end. I wanted God to give me a promise like the one he had given Abraham. So, I kept begging God for a sign.

None came. No verse. No confirmation. Just silence on that issue. For years. And in the end, God’s answer was “No.” At first it felt unfair. And purposeless. I struggled to make sense of those seemingly wasted years. While I had grown closer to God, somehow I felt that I had received a lesser gift. I put it out of my mind after a while. It was senseless to keep dwelling on it. But whenever I read that passage in Romans, it stung.

Why didn’t God tell me his answer from the beginning?

One Model for Waiting Well Several years later, as I begin reading Romans again in my quiet time, I hesitate at Romans 4. It painfully reminds me of that time of asking and waiting. Feeling disconnected from Abraham, I decide to

look at his life in Genesis. I see Abraham’s humanity in how he sometimes doubted God’s protection. He even tried to fulfill God’s promise on his own through Hagar. Perhaps he thought God needed his help and ingenuity.

This part I can identify with. Abraham’s struggle with impatience feels all too familiar. Too many times I’ve tried to help God fulfill his plans — that is, the plans I’d like him to have. Plans that would give me what I want. What I think I deserve.

As I study Genesis, I see that while Abraham was waiting, God was working. Molding his character. Teaching him patience. Building their friendship. It was in that 25-year wait that Abraham got to know God intimately. It was in those seemingly wasted years that God transformed him.

And after decades of waiting, Abraham was ready for the supreme test of his faith, when he was asked to sacrifice Isaac, the son of promise. The son he had waited for.

Then I see it. Why had I not noticed this before? Abraham’s faith wasn’t rooted in the promise of descendants. If it was, he never would have taken Isaac to be sacrificed.

He wouldn’t have relinquished what God had promised him years earlier. He would have clung tightly to Isaac, feeling entitled to this son. For Isaac was the fulfillment of God’s long-awaited promise to Abraham.

Abraham wasn’t clinging to his own understanding of the

Abraham’s faith wasn’t in the promise alone. His faith was rooted in the Promiser.

Because his faith was not in what God would do for him, but in God himself, Abraham was willing to risk. He could do whatever God asked. He wasn’t holding on to a particular outcome. He was holding on to God. Abraham’s waiting strengthened his faith. Taught him God’s ways. Showed him God’s faithfulness. Abraham knew that God would provide everything he needed.

I have the same assurance that Abraham did — that God will provide everything I need.

As I let that promise sink in, I see my waiting differently.

Perhaps God is making me, and you, wait for the same reasons that he made Abraham wait. To forge our faith. To make us attentive to his voice.

To deepen our relationship. To solidify our trust. To prepare us for ministry. To transform us into his likeness.

In retrospect, I can see that “wait” is the most precious answer God can give us. It makes us cling to him rather than cling to an outcome. God knows what I need. I do not.

He sees the future. I cannot.

His perspective is eternal.

Mine is not. He will give me what is best for me. When it is best for me. As Paul Tripp says, “Waiting is not just about what I get at the end of the wait, but about who I become as I wait.”
