Orangefield homeowners seek flooding answers Dave Rogers

For The Record

Upset Orangefield-area homeowners listened glumly Monday night as Orange County, state and federal officials made it clear there’s no quick fix to flooding. Then, from one of the 150plus folks that filled up the Orangefield Middle School auditorium a suggestion came that flies in the face of the frenzy of home building and giddy anticipation of a hoped-for $8 billion plastics plant being built here by Chevron Phillips Chemical: A moratorium on new building until current drainage problems are remedied.

“This is an emergency,” one man said. “We need to stop overbuilding in these areas close to Carona marshes. “There has been too much building in our area since Harvey.” Another homeowner summed it up for many Orange County residents in the wake of Tropical Storms Harvey, which dumped 62 inches of rain in four days in August 2017 and Imelda, which deposited 32 inches of rainfall in 16 hours last month.

She said she had been told it would cost $200,000 to elevate her twice-flooded home, which she couldn’t afford. The alternative was increased flood insurance payments ranging from $9,000 more per year to $24,000 more, according to quotes she had received. “I love progress. I love

growth. But there was no planning for this runoff,” she said. “I blame the city and the county. If you can’t guarantee me you’ll have this fixed in two years, give me the option to have you buy me out.” Don Carona, general manager of the Orange County Drainage District, who was

running the meeting, the third of four set up by OCDD to exchange information with homeowners, identified three major drainage problems for those living along Farm to Market Road 1442: “This is the new normal,” he said, of the slow-moving storm systems that lift water from the Gulf of Mexico and

pour it on Southeast Texas, and building rules have not kept up even with old rainfall totals. A positive change, Carona explained, is that new housing developments must have a drainage plan OK’d by county and local officials beDRAINAGE Page 3A

LSCO gets ‘Keep Orange County Beautiful’ award

OC won’t wait for FEMA rebuild Dave Rogers

The Orange County Commissioners’ Court has officially cut the cord. After FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Administration, served notice to all Southeast Texas governments that Washington didn’t think Tropical Storm Imelda did enough damage to warrant its assis-

tance, commissioners vowed to move on without the Feds. “It does not look like we’re going to get [FEMA] Public Assistance, but there’s an appeal being put together right now,” Orange County Judge John Gothia said. “We’ll continue to pick up debris as we’re picking up now. We’ll continue with the TxDOT plan.” COUNTY BUSINESS Page 3A

eep Orange County Beautiful (KOCB,) presented the 4th Quarter Beautification Award to Dr. Thomas Johnson, President of Lamar State College Orange (LSCO). Members of his staff, together with board members of KOCB attended the presentation. Deborah Bednar, president of the county’s beautification organization, said she has long admired the campus landscaping. “It’s inspiring to the community to see that the Future is Bright Orange,” Bednar said, referencing the

LSCO slogan. Dr. Johnson said he appreciates the award because of the pride our campus takes in maintaining a clean and pleasant campus environment. “I often hear from people who are visiting our campus for the first time that they had no idea our campus was so beautiful,” he said. LSC-O will be celebrating their 50th Birthday Bash on Tuesday, October 29th. Dr. Johnson hopes that the community will come out and visit the campus that day.

Orange Lions in long time service of charity carnival Penny Leleux

For The Record

There are six members of the Orange Lions Club that have volunteered at the Lions Club Carnival for 40 or more years each. Between them, they have been serving kiddies burgers and snow cones, helping them on the Merry Go Round or making sure the rides were safe for well over 250 years between them. The youngster, volunteer wise, is Stump Weatherford. This is his 40th year. Dan Mohon and Randall Morris come in at 45. Larry David

has 47 years under his belt. John Cochran has been a Lion serving the carnival since 1971. The longest volunteer and the head mechanic that keeps the rides in top condition is John Martin with over 50 years of service. John said he started volunteering in 1966. “It is an honor to work alongside these Lions who have helped make our club what it is today,” said Orange Lions Club president Chris

Kovatch. “Their commitment to our community is what Lionism is all about. They are true assets to our club and our city.” What has kept Martin volunteering all these years? “I guess I just enjoy the camaraderie down here, as well as what we do for the community, is what I really enjoy. Knowing what we make goes to charity,” he said. Martin said he started out working on a ride they re-

Lee Roy was probably one on the best mechanics that I have ever known in my life. I was a mechanical engineer for him. He was the best I ever worked with,” said Martin.

Flu season is underway, get vacinated now Staff Report In early September, the Food and Drug Administration announced the flu vaccine lots available for 2019-2020 season. Flu season begins in October and continues into the spring. Peak reporting periods fall between December and February. Depending upon the year, cases have been contracted as late as May. Based on statistics from the last flu season, there is cause for concern and caution is recommended as the season approaches. Reason for concern The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that the last flu season, 2017-2018, was the worst reporting period for influenza-related illnesses and deaths since a major pandemic in 2009. CDC estimates that almost 80,000 people died from flu in 2018 and almost 50 million people contracted the illness. Hospital visits resulting from flu numbered 959,000 and flu also caused almost 23 million visits to a medical professional. Vaccination and other prevention methods Along with its information about the upcoming flu season, CDC issued a statement recommending vaccinations for anyone 6 years of age or older with a vaccine appropriate for the person’s health and age. Vaccines should be administered by the end of October when the flu season officially begins. It is advisable to consult a physician about flu vaccines.

zheimer’s and Martin took over the maintenance of the rides. They named the current Farris Wheel for Boehme, before he passed. “We call it the Lee Roy.” There are even words welcoming you to the “Lee Roy” on the steps leading to the loading platform. Boehme actually found the current Farris Wheel in Chicago after the other one was damaged by a hurricane. Martin said they worked on it for a year to get it ready for its first carnival. Dan Mohon has 45 years perfect attendance as an Orange Lion. He said he joined

the club about three months after he moved to Orange and has been volunteering ever since. “It’s just a fantastic event for Orange County. “I’ve been doing the Coke and soft drink both for at least 25 years” Mohon said he will keep volunteering as long as his health is good. “This is not a hard booth, because we have so many volunteers.” David was not at the carnival that night. He was at a Vietnam veteran reunion. Mohon said David has been cooking hamburgers at the carnival “forever.” “I joined in 1978,” said

Weatherford. “There have been a lot of changes that we’ve made in our carnival.” He loves how the people support the carnival so they can give back to the community. “It’s been a great ride, it really has,” he said. He keeps coming back to “see the smiles on the people of the community and see the little kids, knowing the money goes to the Texas Lions Camp for the handicapped and diabetics.” Weatherford stated the funds raised also supports the Lions Eye Bank which addresses vision problems. Although not all the vol-

unteers mentioned were available for interview The Record Newspapers wishes to acknowledge their service to the community. The Lions Club Carnival continues this week through Saturday, opening at 6:30 p.m. each day. Note that Lions Bingo, which is usually available each night, will only be available Friday and Saturday due to a licensing issue. Admission to the carnival is $3 for adults, teens 10-17 are $2, 10 and under are free. Tokens are $1 each, rides or one or two tokens.

Drainage meetings fore getting the go-ahead to build. “But we can’t eliminate all flooding during these historic rains,” the drainage manager said. “Our goal is to limit and reduce significantly flooding during these historic rain events.” The fourth and last drainage meeting of this series will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 29, at the Little Cypress-Mauriceville High School Auditorium. It will focus on the eastern portion of Orange County, including the cities of Orange, West Orange and Pinehurst and areas along Adams Bayou and Little Cypress Bayou. For the folks gathered Monday, those who live roughly in the area inside County Precinct 3, the water comes into the area from the north via Cow Bayou. “It was Cow Bayou that affected about 70% of Orange County,” Carona said. “Roughly 40% of the Cow Bayou watershed comes from Jasper County above us. We need to divert some of that overflow.” He said Orange County has since the 1930s had a relief ditch carrying some Cow Bayou water east from just inside the Jasper County line to the Sabine River. “It’s by far the biggest man-made ditch in the county and it’s already diverting water. But we want it to

handle more. There’s so much water from Jasper County,” Carona said. The Jasper County outflow is the

reason water continues to flow into Orangefield neighborhoods after the rains stop, Carona said. But he added the main reason it backs up

from the south is a saltwater marsh restoration project undertaken by the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department and the U.S. Corps of Engineers after 2008’s Hurricane Ike, which was a “storm surge” hurricane unlike the major rainfall events in recent years. Several Orange County drainage district ditches used to extend into the Bessie Heights Marsh that drains much of the west side of the county. But now they dead-end well short of the marsh. Carona showed Google Earth maps from before and after the marsh restoration, noting the big difference was the importing of 1.6 million cubic yards of silt. “Has the Parks and Wildlife Department acknowledged their project has caused the problem?” asked one of about two dozen homeowners who stepped up to talk. “That would be a stretch,” Carona replied. “I do think, though, we have Parks and Wildlife’s attention.” “What about the Corps of Engineers?” he was asked. “Not so much,” was the answer. State Rep. Dade Phelan, one of about 30 paid or elected governmental officials who attended the meeting, said the Corps of Engineers wasn’t known to be easy to deal with. “That’s the federal government and they’re not very responsive to the state,” Phelan said. “They [the

Lamar State College Orange is holding its 50th Birthday Bash Tuesday, Oct. 29 and the little school that could has much to celebrate. This week brought the announcement of a fall enrollment of 2,395 students, the highest fall semester enrollment in six years for the two-year college in downtown Orange. The Birthday Bash, originally scheduled for August and postponed by bad weather, will run from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. next Tuesday and will be combined with the school’s annual Fall Fest. Festivities will be held around the campus, with food trucks, moonwalks, a costume contest, giveaways, campus tours and live music by Mixx Fixxer. The 50th Birthday hype began in January when former presidents Joe Ben

Welch and Michael Shahan joined current president Thomas Johnson and other civic and community leaders in an indoor program at the Shahan Center. Johnson, a Port Arthur native who came to LSCO from Tyler Junior College in September 2017, said, “I’m a two-year kid,” meaning a community college grad. “Education saved my life. “A lot of students would never go to college without a two-year school, but you can get a certificate for welding and make a living wage. “We are not in competition with the other two-year schools around us. We’re committed to keeping small classes and serving the needs of our community.” A total of 362 students enrolled in 1969, the year LSCO opened as a lower-division extension center in an abandoned elementary school in Riverside which earned the school the nick-

name “Tilley Tech.” A scrapbook clipping from a 1970 newspaper showed that five classes (15 hours) cost just $180 to enroll. By 2018, it cost more than $2,500 to enroll for 15 hours. A tuition reduction, announced last summer, drops the per semester tuition for a full-time student to $1,995. This week’s enrollment announcement showed that headcount in non-credit workforce classes is up 34% and contact hours are up 171%. The fall credit enrollment numbers to 2,395 students, is an increase of 2% over last year. Contact hours and semester credit hours are up by 2.1% and 4.7% respectively in comparison to last fall. Academic student enrollment is up 9.5% and technical student enrollment is up 4.1% compared to last year. Enrollment in day classes is up 12.5%, night class en-

rollment is up 14.2% and Friday-only class enrollment is up 14.7%, compared to Fall 2018. It’s been a big year for LSCO, including the largest grant in the school’s history, a $1 million pledge from the Nelda C. and H.J. Lutcher Stark Foundation. And it is added on to a $500,000 per year Stark Scholarship Program. “We are extremely fortunate to have such a generous, philanthropic foundation dedicated to improving lives in our community,” Johnson said. The school showed its appreciation by renaming the Nursing Classroom Building in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Stark. LSCO also has recently purchased the former Capital One Bank Building, which is located next the Orange Public Library downtown at the corner of 5th Street and Green Avenue.

Joel Ardoin, county emergency management coordinator, said without the use of FEMA contractors, it would take about 25 days to complete debris pickup. FEMA has granted Individual Assistance for homeowners who were flooded and meet other requirements. The County Expo Center is taking FEMA individual registrations currently. But this county, as well as neighboring governments in Jefferson, Harris, Chambers and Hardin Counties, were seeking FEMA reimbursements for storm debris pickup and damage to county and municipal properties. The threshold of $37-plus million dollars in uninsured damage has not approved by Washington. Of course, the federal government – and especially FEMA – is known for its delays. At Monday night’s drainage meeting in Orangefield, State Rep. Dade Phelan, R-Beaumont, talked about a mid-2020 timetable for FEMA to pay for some 2015 storm damage in the state. “The state can move much more quickly,” he said, urging everyone to vote for Proposition 8 in the Nov. 5 constitutional amendment election. The proposition will ensure that $800 million in funding from the state’s Rainy Day Fund will be used in a Flood Infrastructure Fund that can’t be raided for purposes other than flood prevention and recovery. Commissioners approved the county maintenance department going ahead to salvage the former Vidor WIC building and a couple of main structures at Claiborne West Park. “Let’s not wait on FEMA,” Commissioner Johnny Trahan said, referring to projects that have been needing attention since Tropical Storm Harvey in 2017. The county received news of a $451,000 sales tax deposit for August and signed checks totaling $485,000. The 2019 tax roll for the county is $32.8 million with $3.6 million delinquent, commissioners learned. In other county business, Sam Carpenter, Jr. filed with Elections Administration to run in the 2020 election for Constable, Precinct 3, against Bridge City policeman Brad Frye. County attorney John Kimbrough and Karen Fisher, tax assessor-collector, have filed for reelection, and Gothia has filed to run to keep his county judge seat. Johnny Trahan, Commissioner, Precinct 1, said he intends to file for re-election but has not registered with the Election Administration Office as of Tuesday.

Corps] are considered the fourth branch of government in Washington, D.C.” The OCDD has 54 employees, an annual budget of $8 million, and maintains 600 miles of ditches. In the last 18 months, it has combined with Orange County’s Roads & Bridge Department to clear and widen drainage channels throughout the Orangefield area. County Road & Bridge employees maintain 392 miles of roadways, with ditches or drains on both sides. County Engineer Clark Slacum oversees 40 employees in this department, about 10 per precinct. County Judge John Gothia said cooperation with U.S. Rep. Brian Babin is helping push the removal of an unused railroad spur at the Entergy power plant that has created a barrier to stormwater. The railroad tracks were at one time considered a national security priority by the Department of Homeland Security and must be de-certified by DHS before removal. The OCDD began a de-snagging project on Cow Bayou Tuesday, about a mile south of Interstate 10. It’s a project 90% funded by a grant from the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Workers are removing trees from the water and those leaning over it, loading them on two barges. Ultimately, they will be collected and burned at Riverside, in Orange.

From The Creaux’s Nest SHOT HEARD AROUND COUNTRY SHOCKS NEW YORK It’s said that the ghost of Ruth, DiMaggio, Mantle and all the other Yankee greats appeared at mid-night at the House that Ruth built. Sunday, Oct. 20, with one swing of the bat, Jose Altuve lit up the score board sending the Yankee’s home with a 6-4 Astro win in game 6. With that victory, the Astros eliminated the Yankees from the playoffs for the third time in five years and advanced to the World Series for the second time in three years and the third time in franchise history. Altuve’s blast came after the Astros gave up a two-run homer in the top of the ninth; tying the game the Astros had led since the first inning. It was two out in the bottom of the ninth. Collin Gros, at Minute Maid Park, told his friend Tanner, “If we can get to Jose, we can win it.” George Springer drew a walk ahead of Altuve’s turn. When he came to the plate I told my bride, “A good time for a walk off home run. The Yankees should have walked him or pitched around him. With two fast balls called balls, a lazy 2-1 slider hung over the plate, just what Jose was waiting for. He punched it over 400 feet to left field for the shot that put the Astros in another World Series. Collin who had been updating us by text sent us a text saying “Awesome.” Houston opened the Series at home Tuesday with red hot pitcher Gerrit Cole, who is 19-0 in his last 25 starts. He went up against the Washington Nationals’ Max Scherzer. The Nationals won the game 5 to 4 in 9 innings Tuesday in Houston.

A whistle blower blew the whistle on Rick who attended Zelensky’s inauguration and brought Trump’s message. Trump was holding back $390 billion in military aid until Trump got Zelensky’s cooperation. Trump has also pushed the theory that Ukraine, not Russia, was responsible for hacking the Democratic Party’s e-mails. Meanwhile, Trump is running Attorney General Bill Barr and his assistant all over the world to find a way to clear Putin and Russia. The theory on Biden has been completely debunked. The Intelligent Agency has also confirmed that Russia is guilty. *****The passing of Congressman Elijah Cummings leaves a void in the congress. As chairman of the House Oversight Committee he was relentless in holding President Trump and his Administration accountable. Cummings stood up for the values of truth, justice, equality and the principle that no one is above the law. His legacy follows in the footsteps of Martin Luther King and Rep. Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman in congress.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK We received a short message from Cussin Sostan. He has been working in Russia for three monts. He says, “Wife Sugar Bee eat a lot from bordom while he was gone. She said she had a call from a charity axing her to donate some of her clo’es to some starving womens in Africa.” She say, “I tole dem no way, anybody who fits in my clo’es ain’t starving dem.” Sostan say, “I was glad to get back to Sou’h Lozeanna, chicken and sausage gumbo, boudain and a big pot of cush-cush. I bought Sugar Bee a nice, all silk neglasa for her to wear on our anniversary honeymoon.” Guess what? So I had to tole her it was for our 17-year-old granddaughter. I didn’t want her to get mad and cancel da honeymoon.”

C’ES T TOUT John Patterson’s first opening day performance and his treasured National’s cap On April 14, 2005, the Washington Nationals played their first home game. The team had played nine games, starting April 14, away from home. The team came from Montreal after the Washington Senators team left for Minnesota in 1961. Another Senators team replaced them and a decade later became the Texas Rangers. The D.C. team hasn’t hosted a World Series game since they were the Senators. It’s been 86 franchise years since they were last in a World Series. On the day of the home opener, the Nationals faced the Arizona Diamondbacks. President George W. Bush threw out the first pitch. The starting pitcher was John Patterson, a youngster from Orange, Texas. Patterson had been drafted right out of high school where he attended West Orange-Stark and was given a $6 million signing bonus. John had come from Montreal to Washington when they became the Nationals. He was picked from an outstanding team roster to pitch the historical first game. Nationals won 5-3 making the young Orangeite the winning pitcher. The team finished with a .500 record, last in their division. Ironically, the Houston Astros headed to their first World Series that year. The nation’s capital had long been a tough town for sports fans with franchises like the Redskins of the NFL and Wizards of the NBA. The baseball Nationals have had some tough years also, losing as many as 100 games in a season. Washington playing in the World Series is the kind of thing that happens to other cities. So far, for the first time in 86 years, they are headed to the World Series against the Astros. My memory slips back to the first National home opener in 2005. I was honored with a baseball cap from that game, sent to me by that young pitcher. I received the cap from John’s dad, Doug Patterson, when the family returned from the Nationals first home game ever. Doug had been an outstanding high school pitcher himself before going pro. I had known John’s grandparents, going back to Judge Malcolm Dorman. John Patterson was one of several great baseball players to come out of Orange County, but I believe he was the best high school pitcher I had ever watched. Today I’m proud to have John’s National cap in my sports collection and am honored to have known the Patterson’s. To Doug, Dr. Stephen Patterson, John and the family, thanks for the memories. I’ll be pulling for the Astros but still remember the Nationals beginning and am thankful I’m still here to see them make it to the World Series 14 years later.*****Read us cover to cover. Goodbye, good luck and God bless.

End-of-Year Money Moves Provided by Ian E. James, CRPC®, AAMS® President, Financial Advisor Capital Financial Group www.409Wealth.com 409-792-0179 What has changed for you in 2019? Did you start a new job or leave a job behind? Did you retire? Did you start a family? If notable changes occurred in your personal or professional life, then you will want to review your finances before this year ends and 2020 begins. Even if your 2019 has been relatively uneventful, the end of the year is still a good time to get cracking and see where you can manage your tax bill and/or build a little more wealth. Keep in mind this article is for informational purposes only and is not a replacement for real-life advice. Please consult your tax, legal and accounting professionals before modifying your tax strategy. Do you practice tax-loss harvesting? at is the art of taking capital losses (selling securities worth less than what you first paid for them) to offset your short-term capital gains. You might want to consider this move, which may lower your taxable income. It should be made with the guidance of a financial professional you trust.1 In fact, you could even take it a step further. Consider that up to $3,000 of capital losses in excess of capital gains can be deducted from ordinary income, and any remaining capital losses above that can be carried forward to offset capital gains in upcoming years. When you live in a high-tax state, this is one way to defer tax.1 Do you want to itemize deductions? You may just want to take the standard deduction for 2019, which has ballooned to $12,200 for single filers and $24,400 for joint filers because of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act. If you do think it might be better for you to itemize, now would be a good time to get the receipts and assorted paperwork together. While many miscellaneous deductions have disappeared, some key deductions are still around: the state and

Ian E. James local tax (SALT) deduction, now capped at $10,000; the mortgage interest deduction; the deduction for charitable contributions, which now has a higher limit of 60% of adjusted gross income; and the medical expense deduction.2,3 Could you ramp up 401(k) or 403(b) contributions? Contribution to these retirement plans may lower your yearly gross income. If you lower your gross income enough, you might be able to qualify for other tax credits or breaks available to those under certain income limits. Note that contributions to Roth 401(k)s and Roth 403(b)s are made with after-tax rather than pre-tax dollars, so contributions to those accounts are not deductible and will not lower your taxable income for the year.4,5 Are you thinking of gifting? How about donating to a qualified charity or non-profit organization before 2019 ends? Your gift may qualify as a tax deduction. You must itemize deductions using Schedule A to claim a deduction for a charitable gift.4,5 While we’re on the topic of estate strategy, why not take a moment to review your beneficiary designations? If you haven’t reviewed them for a decade or more (which is all too common), double-check to see that these assets will go where you want them to go, should you pass away. Lastly, look at your will to see that it remains valid and up-to-date. Can you take advantage of the American Opportunity Tax Credit? e AOTC allows individuals whose modified adjusted gross income is $80,000 or less (and joint filers with

MAGI of $160,000 or less) a chance to claim a credit of up to $2,500 for qualified college expenses. Phase-outs kick in above those MAGI levels.6 See that you have withheld the right amount. If you discover that you have withheld too little on your W-4 form so far, you may need to adjust your withholding before the year ends. What can you do before ringing in the New Year? Talk with a financial or tax professional now rather than in February or March. Little year-end moves might help you improve your short-term and long-term financial situation.

POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS Judge of the County Court No. 2

Troy Johnson seeking fifth term Judge Troy Johnson, at the October meeting of the Orange County Bar Association, announced that he is seeking a fifth term as Judge of the County Court at Law No. 2. Today, he issued the following statement: “Back in 2004, you entrusted me with the future of a brandnew court—the County Court at Law No. 2. I promised that I would eliminate the large backlog of criminal cases, that I would work hard, and that I would be fair and respectful to all who came before the court. Fifteen years later, much has changed but what hasn’t changed is my strong work ethic and my positive attitude that I bring to the bench each day. It’s as simple as this—I love my job, I don’t take my responsibilities as a public servant for granted, and I very much enjoy coming to work each day. Stepping up on that bench each morning is something I look forward to because of the unique challenges of dealing with all of the different criminal, juvenile, civil, divorce, and child custody cases that the court handles. I also look forward to coming to work because of the great people that I work with and interact with each day. From my great staff—Juanita (court coordinator), Kim (court reporter), and Eddie (bailiff)--all the way to the custodial crew, I can’t say enough good things about the people who work alongside me in this building serving the citizens of Orange County. I stress that I love my job because it brings me to my next point. You’ve always heard the saying that “happy employees make for productive employees.” Well, the same goes for judges. I am happy. Juanita, Kim, and Eddie tell me that they are happy. e result of all of this happiness is a court that operates smoothly and efficiently. e County Court at Law No. 2 is a productive court and all of that productivity means that I have been able to keep the promises that I made back in 2004.

JUDGE TROY JOHNSON e promise around which my campaign revolved was the one I mentioned at the beginning of this statement--my promise to eliminate the large backlog. When I took the bench on my ﬁrst day, the backlog consisted of 6,727 criminal cases. Fast forward through September 2019 and that backlog has been reduced by 64%. In addition to the backlogged cases, the court took on an average of more than 1,000 NEW criminal cases each and every year. To accomplish that 64% reduction, the court has disposed of more than 17,000 criminal cases since its inception. I mentioned earlier that the court handles more than criminal cases and those cases have been eﬃciently managed as well. e court has disposed of 1,253 domestic (divorce and child custody) cases, 925 civil cases, and 495 juvenile matters. We have been busy. Fifteen years and almost 20,000 disposed cases can be summed up in one word-- EXPERIENCE. I spent 16 ½ years practicing in courtrooms, but experience ON the bench is not the same as experience in the courtroom IN FRONT OF the bench. I have experience on the bench and plenty of it. Why does experience matter? Let me explain. ankfully, most folks will never have any interaction with a court beyond serving on a jury from time to time. If, however, your child was accused of a crime, detained, and

brought to a juvenile court; there could be disastrous consequences. Your child’s future is now at stake and your child could be forever adversely affected by the outcome of the case. e example could just as easily apply to a divorce case, a child custody case, or a car wreck case. In situations such as these, EXPERIENCE MATTERS! You will certainly want a good attorney, but the final outcome will be decided by the judge. You will want a judge with a reputation for fairness. You will also want a judge with experience and plenty of it. Experience and fairness is what you will continue to get if you keep me on as Judge of the County Court at Law No. 2. I will continue to keep the promises I made fifteen years ago. Finally, a little about me and my family. I was born in Orange Memorial Hospital and grew up in West Orange.

Altuve’s HR puts Astros in World Series

JOE KAZMAR KAZ’S KORNER FOR THE RECORD

Saturday’s Game 6 appeared to be a battle of which closer can cause the most damage to his team. As usual, whenever a big game loomed and Houston Astros’ manager A.J. Hinch summoned his ace closer Roberto Osuna from the bullpen to save the important game, the reliever fell flat on his face and pitched as if it were batting practice. at mishap occurred last Wednesday after fire-balling Gerrit Cole had pitched seven scoreless innings against the New York Yankees and left the game with a slender 3-0 lead. e eighth inning was a breeze for reliever Josh James, who set the pin-stripers down in order. e Astros scored a lone run in the bottom of the eighth upping the score to 4-0. Osuna was ready to put the game on ice like he has done on 39 occasions this year, so another save would be as easy as rolling off a log. But the Yankees had different ideas and banged out a couple of solid base hits interspersed by a ground out and a four-pitch walk. After the Yankees scored a run and had the bases loaded, Hinch

had seen enough and called on Will Harris from the bullpen, who calmly got the final two outs on nine pitches, preserving the victory for Cole. As if Hinch didn’t learn his lesson, he once again called on Osuna Saturday to pitch the ninth inning and preserve the 4-2 lead that would send the Astros to the World Series. e first batter, Gio Urshela, ripped a single to left. Osuna struck out Brett Gardner. Yankees’ leadoff hitter D.J. LeMahieu, who lead the American League in hitting during most of the season, kept fouling off Osuna’s strikeout pitches and worked the count to 3-2. Osuna’s 10th pitch resulted in a line-drive smacked into the rightfield stands as the overflow crowd at Minute Maid Park became eerily hushed. Osuna got the next two batters and the Astros came to bat in the bottom of the ninth with the score tied at 4-4. Not to be outdone, Yankee ace closer Aroldis Chapman came in to try and send the game into extra innings. He got two quick outs before George Springer legged out an infield single to keep the inning alive for fan favorite Jose Altuve. Chapman, who in his younger

days threw a pitch that was clocked at 105 miles per hour, reared back and threw a high, hard one that Altuve crushed and then watched as it landed over the fence in leftcenter field giving the Houston Astros a 6-4 victory and punching their ticket to the 2019 World Series which began last night in Houston and easily earning him the ALCS Most Valuable Player. Osuna was credited with the mound victory. Fortunately, there was no Game 7 in the ALCS, so fireballer Cole got two extra days to rest before last night’s outing against the National League champion Washington Nationals, who swept the light-hitting St. Louis Cardinals in four straight games and had several extra days off to think about the World Series, with all games beginning at 7:08 p.m. CST and will be televised by Fox. e two teams match up fairly well with great starting pitching, with the Astros’ relievers having a huge edge. Houston starters Cole, Justin Verlander and Zack Greinke will be opposed by Stephen Strasburg, Max Scherzer and Anibal Sanchez who collectively did not allow an earned run in 21 2/3 innings and limited St. Louis to just nine hits

Jose Altuve sent the Houston Astros to the World Series with a Game 6 home run in the bottom of the ninth inning.

in 73 at-bats (a .123 average). e 31-year-old Strasburg pitched for the fourth time this post-season and earned his third win and lowered his career ERA in the playoﬀs to 1.10 over 41 innings. Strasbourg is scheduled to oppose Justin Verlander tonight at Minute Maid Park. Tomorrow is a travel day and Friday the two teams will resume the World Series in Washington with Zack Greinke on the mound for the Astros. e Nationals have not decided on their starter. e Astro’s pitchers will have to bat for themselves at Washington as per National League rules. e 25-man World Series roster for Washington has 18 players past their 30th birthday, 13 who were 32 or older and six older than 35 including 42-year-old Fernando Rodney, who is the oldest player in the major leagues by three years. e NLCS Most Valuable Player was Howie Kendrick, 36,

who over the past three years has the highest batting average (.325) in the majors, comparable to Houston’s 29-year-old MVP Jose Altuve. e last team in Washington to reach the World Series was the 1933 Washington Senators. KWICKIES…e Houston Texans’ defense was so pathetic Sunday at Indianapolis that Monday’s Chronicle graded the defensive secondary with an “F”. e Texans never led in the game but stayed within striking distance in the second half and still lost 30-23. e other Texas NFL team— the Dallas Cowboys--did much better in front of a national audience on Sunday Night Football, overpowering the Philadelphia Eagles 37-10 before their bye week. e Texas Longhorns, who were more than a three-touchdown favorite over Kansas Saturday afternoon, escaped by the skin of their teeth by booting a

field goal as time expired and winning 50-48. Chuck Schilling, who hasn’t thrown a pitch since 2007, wants back in the game as a major league manager. Schilling says he wants to interview for the Philadelphia Phillies’ managerial vacancy after the firing of Gene Kapler and said he also is interested in the Boston Red Sox’s pitching coach opening. Orange native Wade Phillips’ defense just got better when the Los Angeles Rams signed cornerback Jalen Ramsey last weekend. e Rams moved to 4-3 after walloping the hapless Atlanta Falcons 37-10. JUST BETWEEN US…It’s a crying shame that local high school football fans must consult the Saturday Houston Chronicle just to find out the Friday night final score of Orange County football teams which do not appear in Saturday newspapers in either Orange or Beaumont.

Youth weekend big for several reasons CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE OUTDOORS WEEKLY FOR THE RECORD

One of perhaps the most anticipated hunting days of the year is upon us; Saturday morning starts off the annual youth hunting weekend in Texas. Young hunters and adults alike look forward to this very special weekend for a variety of reasons. For many young hunters this is their opportunity to take center stage and reap the benefits of all the practice and preparation they have been through during the off season. e trips to the range, the work at the hunting lease, or perhaps all the scouting on public land will now hopefully pay big dividends once legal shooting time actually gets here. Texas has a great history of promoting the next generation’s hunters and fishermen through various programs so the Special Youth hunting seasons are always very important. Sharing the outdoor experience with any teenager or child is both a luxury and a duty that adult hunters should embrace. By realizing that the youth of today will be the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts we are ensuring that the sport we love we will continue to thrive. If you are planning on participating in this weekends hunts there are a few things to remember in order to make sure that the time spent in the field is a positive for everyone involved. Probably the most important thing to bring along on the hunt is plenty of patience. Don’t push a young hunter or add any pressure to the hunt, keep everything low key and all about them. Adults who get caught up in the moment can ruin the whole experience if they are not careful. Whatever the young hunter wants to do is fine, if they just want to watch the wildlife or learn more about the habitat then that’s okay. Keep

One of perhaps the most anticipated hunting days of the year is upon us; Saturday morning starts off the annual youth hunting weekend in Texas. the experience positive, it’s not just about killing an animal or a bird. Also be sure to take along some vital necessities such as plenty of snacks, drinks, and even something to waste a little time like an IPad to keep them from being bored. Remember their attention span is short and you are catering to them, this is a special day and it’s not about the adults. One other staple that should always be in the blind bag, especially with kids, is toilet paper. Enough said, you will thank me later. Now when the business of actually pulling the trigger happens be prepared for a wide range of emotions. Some youngsters have very mixed reactions after they shoot. I remember the ﬁrst deer my son Hunter killed, we hooped and hollered and celebrated immediately. After we calmed down I took that time to impress upon him about what

happens when you pull the trigger on a gun, “this is not a game and there are no re-sets” I told him. “When you pull the trigger on a gun and kill something it never comes back, it’s ﬁnal, so remember that and treat guns with the respect they deserve” I added. Nothing makes a bigger impression in my book, especially when you tell them that could animal could be a human being. Hunter still talks about that today so I know I got my point across. One other bit of information to pass along is to be sure everyone involved in the hunt is properly licensed and has all the necessary tags, permits, and stamps required to participate. Check online or at the Texas Parks and Wildlife oﬃce in Beaumont for any and all questions concerning the subject. Nothing puts a damper on the hunt like a ticket.

The Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce recognized Bubba (Earl) Tipton as the outstanding Employee of the Month for Little Cypress Mauriceville CISD. He always goes above and beyond, whether he’s doing his every day job, or helping someone else in his assigned areas. If Bubba sees something that needs to be done, he does it without having to be asked, and frequently has suggestions for how things might work more smoothly. Students throughout the District know that Bubba cares about them and that he would do anything to help them, if needed. His years of coaching and umpiring has given him a bond with students, as well as a rapport with staff members throughout the District. He volunteers to help with different projects, even when he’s not on the clock, and is always ready to do whatever it takes to make sure the campuses and departments for which he is responsible, have what they need as soon as they need it. “Big Heart” is what I think of when Bubba comes to mind.

His-

tory shows that it began in 1883 when nuns had to come by horseback, or horse and buggy, all the way from Beaumont to properly maintain the altar of Saint Mary Church. is rigorous trip was frequent, and had to be a burdensome trip for the women as the terrain was swampy and without good roads. e crossing of the Neches River apparently had to be done at Collier’s Ferry. e Collier’s Ferry site is still in existence in Beaumont, beginning just oﬀ Pine Street. e nuns eventually taught the ladies of

Saint Mary Church how to do the altar work they had been performing so diligently and thus, the Altar Society was born. Today, the Altar Society does much more than just maintain the altar. eir presence and participation is felt in most everything the Church does. e BBQ Luncheon will be served from 11 A.M. to 1 P.M. and is $8. is includes half of a chicken, potato salad, baked beans, homemade cake for dessert, and tea.

First Corinthians 15:1-4 “Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,” n our text we see the definition of what the Gospel is. It is

all of mankind. The promise of our Messiah was announced from the moment of the fall of man into sin. As the Old Testament was written through the thousands of years, the announcement, or prophecy of the coming Savior became more clear, spoken of with more and more frequency. Isaiah Chapter 53 remains the clearest revelation of the coming Jesus you will find in the O.T. Jesus came on the scene literally fulfilling every prophecy that described Him and the work He would do in all the O.T. He was to be and ever will be the personification, the fulfillment of all that would save one’s soul. His shed blood atoned for the sin of every man, woman and child, putting in

ing resurrection of every true believer, that being those who look to Jesus as their blood bought atonement for their sin…therein those calling out to Him, believing on Him as their Savior, accepting the Gospel work for their redemption. Romans 10:13 “Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” If you believe with all your heart in the Gospel, that finished work of Jesus, is for you repent from your sins and call to Him to forgive you of your sins. He will declare you are saved eternally (Jn. 3:16; Rom. 6:23). Your name is written in the Book of eternal life, and God doesn’t have an eraser on His pencil. Religion won’t do it. Good works won’t do it (Eph.2:8-9). It is by faith in Jesus Christ and

the finished work He accomplished at the cross and empty tomb. The Gospel is the full portrait of God’s love for us. Read First John 4:9-10 “In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” So, Jesus said in Mark 16:15 “And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.” Hence, we churches need always to increase in our passion for the Gospel of Jesus Christ… so passionate that we would take it to the doors of Orange, Texas, offering it to everyone possible. If we don’t tell them, who will?

Home Weatherization 101: Tips for a Comfortable Home

place old, cracked seals with such products as Duck Brand Heavy-Duty Weatherstrip Seals, which are made with durable, flexible material, allowing them to stand up against extreme temperatures that cause other seals to freeze or crack. They help to block cold winter air from entering, as well as dust, pollen and insects during the warmer months. For added protection with older windows, an easy-to-install, crystal-clear option like Duck Brand Roll-On Window Insulation Kits can create an additional barrier against cold air. The pre-taped top and easy roll-on film require no measuring, making installation painless. When applied to indoor window frames, the film provides an airtight seal that’s easily removed once warmer weather arrives.

year. Feel uncomfortable drafts? Notice your heating and cooling equipment is continuously running? Tired of expensive energy bills? You’re not alone: almost two-thirds of American adults live in a home that needs to be weatherized, according to recent research conducted by Duck brand. There are many motivations for weatherizing. In fact, did you know… • 54 percent of people weatherize to save money on energy bills

Finally, address the hidden leaks with solutions like Duck Brand Socket Sealers Insulating Seals. Quick and easy to install, they fit behind outlets or light switch faceplate covers. When installed on exterior walls, they act as a buffer between the inside and outside air. Next, attic stairway covers protect against an often-uninsulated area, and offer a flexible, lightweight solution that can be repositioned to maintain direct access to the attic. For more information on increasing home comfort, along with easy-to-follow weatherization installation videos, visit duckbrand.com/weatherization. With a few key home projects anyone can complete, you can make your home more enjoyable all year long and save on energy bills in the process.

(StatePoint) Do seasonal temperatures sometimes leave you frustrated with your home’s lack of insulation? Staying comfortable indoors is a top priority for most people, and luckily, it’s easy to ensure your home is an optimal temperature. With a few quick tips and home defense strategies, you’ll be on your way to a more comfortable abode in just a few hours. Why weatherize? Preparing your home to combat temperature change is an important task for both homeowners and renters throughout the

First, you’ll need to identify the source -- or sources -- of leaks. Don’t stress -- it’s easy! Hold an incense stick near potential draft sources, such as windows and doors. If the smoke blows sideways, you’ll know an air leak exists and it’s time to weatherize. But don’t stop there. Areas such as attic access openings, pulldown stairs and exterior electrical sockets are additional, often overlooked sources of air leaks. So, now what?
