Orange County fleet adds second airboat ange County money for five machines that automatically fill sand bags. “The particular grant this year was set for response vehicles, whether it was high water vehicles, boats, etc.,” Ardoin explained.

“The Sheriff’s Office has an airboat of its own but after speaking with the sheriff, we agreed we could use more than one sometimes.” After Harvey’s record rainfall in August 2017, flood victims were rescued from

high waters by all manner of private boats. Airboats, like many brought from the Cajun Navy, proved very handy. “We’re surrounded by water on three sides with a lot of marsh,” Airdoin said. “And besides floods, the sheriff

and I discussed that in the event of an aircraft that went down in the vicinity of Orange, we only have one airboat that could respond initially.” COUNTY BUSINESS Page 3A

Orange City Council moved another step closer to ushering in a new housing addition Tuesday. All present for the twicemonthly meeting voted unanimously Tuesday for a resolution approving a grant of up to $350,000 for infrastructure for 40 new homes to be built in Bridge City school district, off Texas 87 just north of FM 105. The grant, which developer ITEX seeks for drainage ditch and storm drain improvements for its Cypresswood Village Phase II, is being offered by the city of Orange’s Economic Development Corporation. “We really don’t have enough housing and we haven’t had any new additions in a long time,” council woman Terrie Salter said. “Orange needs to grow.

We need it.” Tuesday was the resolution’s first reading. According to figures provided in the grant application by ITEX, the developer plans to spend $1.7 million on the project. The bulk of the expense – nearly $1 million -- will be for water, sewer and drainage. Council members Bill Mello, Brad Childs and Patrick Pullen were not in attendance Tuesday. A first reading on a resolution authorizing an EDC grant of $55,000 for Real Southern Cooking had to be delayed because of a recusal by Salter, due to a conflict. That left just three elected officials – council members Annette Pernell and Paul Burch and mayor Larry Spears, Jr. – eligible to vote, one shy of a quorum.

OC trappers fight off hooved invaders Dave Rogers

For The Record

Orange neighbor’s Gerald Burleigh and Don Hubbard have been friends since childhood. “We raised dogs together. We’ve been hunting and fishing partners for as long as we can remember,” said Burleigh. An association with guns seems natural since Hubbard spent 22 years as a deputy constable in Orange County and Burleigh was a U.S. Navy River Rat during the Vietnam

War. His crew engaged in many running gun battles as it patrolled the dangerous rivers in a long, narrow boat that came complete with a 105-mm howitzer and a flamethrower. But that was then. The two men have a new pastime now. They trap wild hogs. Properly known as feral hogs, they’re a nuisance causing millions of dollars in damage in Texas each year. The Smithsonian Institute calls them “a plague of pigs.”

“They’ll run your deer off your feeders. They’ll tear up your yards and gardens, digging for grubs,” Burleigh said. “Anything they’ll get, they’ll eat it. They kill fawns, quail, calves. They’re moving into the city now. “But I like to eat pork.” Hogs have run wild in Texas for more than 300 years, first brought here by the Spanish. In the 20th century, Russian “boar” hogs were introduced to Texas for game hunting. They got loose. They inter-

mingled. It was hogs gone wild. Today, the animals’ wild descendants number from 1.5 million to 2 million in the state of Texas, depending on which state agency you’re quoting. They range in size from 100 pounds to 300 pounds fully grown, will stand as high as 3 feet at the shoulders. They eat anything plant or animal and reproduce like crazy during a HOOVED INVADERS Page 3A

‘Bloom where you are planted’ Penny Leleux For The Record The Service League of Orange held their annual luncheon Thursday at the Orange Train Depot Museum. Recognizing the year’s achievements, announcing scholarship awards and passing the gavel to the incoming president are the main features of the yearly event, topped off with a featured speaker. This year’s speaker was Mayor Larry Spears Jr. He gave a very inspired talk on “Bloom Where You Are Planted,” the theme of

this year’s event. Spears said he doesn’t like politics and when asked if he was conservative or liberal, Democrat or Republican, he replied, “Dude, I don’t pay attention to any of that at all.” He said he just wants to give back to the community. “God gave you something special to give back,” Spears said. “You were created to give back to humanity. Until you figure out what that is, you live life as an experiment.” He is excited about where Orange is headed. “We are

50th Anniversary Senior Citizen Rally a big hit

Orange County senior citizens were honored Tuesday morning during the Golden Era of Health Senior Citizen 50th Anniversary Rally Day . The event was hosted by the Texas A&M AriLife Extension and Committee on Aging. The Hollywood themed event was held at the Orange County Convention and Expo Center. The event included 40 health vendor booths followed by bingo, many door prizes, photo booth, free lunch and live music entertainment that packed the house. Performers included country music singer Britt Godwin who dressed and sang hits of Frank Sinatra.

“I can do a better job”: O’Rourke acknowledges Patrick Svitek The Texas Tribune

Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke is acknowledging a need to reorient his 2-month-old campaign amid sagging poll numbers, saying he can do more to broadcast his message nationally after spending weeks intensely focused on in-person campaigning. The former El Paso congressman made the acknowledgment during a pair of TV interviews in New York City, first telling MSNBC host Rachel Maddow on Monday night that he recognizes “I can do a better job ... of talking to a national audience beyond the town halls we are having.” Then, on Tuesday morning, he reiterated the sentiment on ABC’s “The View,” where host Whoopi Goldberg began by asking, “This is your relaunch today, maybe?” “Focusing on people where they are was critically important,” O’Rourke said, “but I can’t tell you how many times

I was asked to find a way to get on ‘The View’ at one of those town hall meetings because there Beto O’Rourke are people who are unable to come to those town halls or in states that we have not visited yet, and I want to make sure that I have a chance to answer your questions here today so they can see who I am.” O’Rourke was initially reluctant to step up his presence on the TV circuit, where many of his primary opponents have been ubiquitous, particularly on the Democratic-friendly MSNBC. He spent the first two months of his campaign setting an aggressive pace across the country, holding 150 events across 15 states. Still, some supporters took notice of where O’Rourke was not appearing — on their TV screens. During a visit to Virginia last month, O’Rourke told a concerned backer that

he preferred to meet voters “eyeball to eyeball” rather than campaign from a studio. Still, “at some point, I may have to give in,” he said. That began in earnest earlier this month, when O’Rourke sat for interviews with Univision’s Jorge Ramos and and two other MSNBC hosts, Chris Hayes and Al Sharpton, before committing to this week’s media appearances in New York City. Then, as O’Rourke headed to the city Monday, his campaign announced he will participate in a CNN town hall next Tuesday in Des Moines, Iowa. O’Rourke’s appearance on “The View,” at least, meant revisiting some of the early scrutiny of his campaign, including over the privilege he enjoys as a married white man. O’Rourke acknowledged there are “things that I have been privileged to do in my life that others cannot,” and he expressed some regret about one episode in particular: a Vanity Fair cover that coincided with

his campaign announcement and quoted him as saying he is “just born to be in it.” O’Rourke’s campaign pivot is unfolding as the once highflying O’Rourke contends with a decline in polls — both nationally and in early voting states — as well as a drop in overall media attention amid the massive presidential field. O’Rourke’s campaign has entered a new phase in more ways than one. As part of his New York City trip, O’Rourke held his first 2020 fundraiser Monday evening, an event where tickets started at $250 and hosts were asked to raise $25,000. A few days after declaring his candidacy in midMarch, O’Rourke said he was not planning to hold such fundraisers, but he appears to have reasoned that they are worth it. Still, O’Rourke sought to conduct the New York City fundraiser in a characteristically transparent manner, broadcasting his remarks live on his Facebook page.

Hooved invaders lifespan of four to eight years. A sow may have its first litter at six months of age and deliver one or two litters of four to 12 hogs per year thereafter. “They’ve really taken off,” Burleigh said. “An article I read the other day said you’d have to take out 75 percent of the hogs in Texas just to stay even.” Feral hogs are unprotected, exotic non-game animals, meaning they may be taken by any means at any time of the year. There are no seasons or bag limits. In all, Burleigh has bagged more than he can count. He does know that his traps have caught 417 hogs in four years from a friend’s property off Texas 105 in Vidor. “And that ain’t catching them all,” he said. “I was out there a couple of months ago and two sows ran across the road in front of me. Each one had a litter of 10, so that was 22 pigs.” Hogs are most numerous around water. Flooding causes them to push farther and farther inland and they often

wallow and root around trees, especially orchards. “Pigs have got to have water, because they can’t sweat,” Burleigh said. “They’ve got to go waller. They’ll contaminate water holes for cattle.” Using deer corn and water bowls as bait, Burleigh and Hubbard have been trapping hogs several days a week nearly year-round for four years now, mostly upon request by folks whose property is under

siege. “It keeps me and him out of the pool hall,” Hubbard says. They butcher and eat much of what they trap. “It’s a lot leaner than a regular pig,” Burleigh said, “and there’s good protein in the meat. But wild pork is like any pork. You’ve got to cook it. “We’ve smoked them and canned them. It’s what me and my wife lived on during Harvey. We were flooded in for

Volunteers stocked food in the pantry that had been donated or purchased from other food banks and helped bag toys at Christmas. Gift’s Etc., the leagues gift shop, was manned by 16 active members and two sustaining members showing a profit $3.432.17 for the months August through April, after all expenses were paid. Partnering with the Stark Museum of Art, the leagues Fine Arts Program visited 1,300 students in 1st and 4th grades at area with a watercolor project for the 4th graders. The 1st graders did a sculpture. This year’s Toy Coffee was held at the home of Jr. and Leslie Leger, 602 W. Orange Avenue, in the Historic District. The 111-year-old home was built by James & Mary Childers, parents of Nelda Stark.

They had 344 people come thru the house and at the end of the day, had collected 610 toys and $4,094 for the Salvation Army. Members worked the Coke Box at the Lion’s Carnival to reciprocate for the Lions volunteers who always help with the Toy Coffee. Volunteers joined with Sabine River Ford at Halloween, decorating one of their vehicles and giving out candy at their Halloween Party. At Christmas, they worked with the Friends of the Orange Depot at their Christmas Extravaganza. They had a booth with Christmas items from the Gift Shop and sold over $500. They also set up a booth for “Depot Days” and sold over $200. President Theresa Glidden finished her report stating the ladies have volunteered a total of 3,326.5 hours thru the month of April. She then passed the gavel to Codie Vasquez, as the incoming president.

The county’s bid was one of only 33 granted. Along with the monies for the airboat, County Auditor Pennee Schmitt placed, at the commissioners’ direction, a FEMA check for $1.3 million into a special budget to reimburse the county for money spent for debris removal. Tax Assessor-Collector Karen Fisher reported the county had received $111,301 in April property tax collections, and that 95.15 percent of the total 2018 property tax monies due had been received. Money out, Schmitt reported, was $480,000 to pay the weekly bills. Commissioners renewed a one-year agreement with the Port of Orange to use its

four days.” To keep up with the hogs, who are nocturnal, Burleigh has gone high tech. He uses night-vision game cameras to stake out the animals. “That’s the only way you can do it,” he said, “to see when they’re coming in and out, see when something spooks them. “It’s a very valuable tool.”

After the stakeout, the metal-cage traps are set and Burleigh again relies on his cameras to tell him when he’s been successful. He and Hubbard use a tractor to load the hogs and traps on a flatbed trailer for return to home base. Burleigh posts some of his game camera videos to his Facebook page. His page has

developed a following. Burleigh says he could sell his hogs for 30 cents a pound, but the nearest wholesaler he knows of is in Centerville, about 200 miles away. “I hear Gator Country is paying 30 cents a pound for it to feed their gators,” he said. But Burleigh doesn’t waste any of his pork. “Somebody eats it,” he said.

Navy Barracks to house volunteers helping rebuild homes still not repaired after Harvey. Tubbleville said while outof-town church volunteers are often housed by local churches, groups of more than 70 will be staying, rentfree, at the barracks between May and November. On the same topic, Tubbleville invited the public to attend a 1 p.m. Friday open house at 2013 Thousand Oaks in Orange. Representatives from Orange County Disaster Rebuild, Nehemiah’s Vision, United Way, Catholic Charities, Salvation Army and American Red Cross will host the celebration with homeowner Gloria Neville of the completion of her rebuilt home. Patsy McEntee, National Parks Service landscape ar-

chitect of the Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program, met the commissioners and county employees. She is here this week touring county parks and will hold the second of two meetings with the public at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 15 at the County Convention and Expo Center. Commissioners also met Wednesday, May 8, declaring May National Mental Health Awareness Month. Tuesday, May 14, they issued a proclamation also noting May as Elder Abuse Prevention Month and June as National Men’s Health Month. Also May 8, Kurt Guidry, the county’s Maintenance Director, issued status reports on a number of ongoing projects. He said that while some

flood insurance checks were available to fix buildings – about $100,000 for the Precinct 2 Commissioner’s office, for instance – that the projects have been on hold waiting for FEMA’s commitment to reimburse the county for raising the buildings’ elevation. Guidry told the commissioners they needed to decide if they wanted their buildings sooner at the county’s expense, or later at FEMA’s. At the county’s monthly Wednesday meeting, commissioners paid $204,000 in weekly bills and authorized the Management Information System Department to spend $18,400 for an update of the county’s website and $300 per month for webhosting and support.

TRUMPS POLITICAL TRADE WAR Here on the Gulf Coast we have a good reason to be concerned about Trump’s trade war with China. Tariffs will likely slow the development of some projects in development along the Coast. The reality is China is going to be the largest consumer of natural gas in the world very soon. The United States is the largest natural gas producer in the world, much of it coming from Texas. In our state farmers are on edge, already operating under significant tariffs on grain and other products in China. In Texas, tech companies and auto manufactures, which rely on a two way supply chain with Chinese manufactures for parts, are likely to be hit the hardest. It’s a net negative for Texas and our economic growth. Trump frequently claims that the Chinese are paying the tariffs. He boasted, incorrectly, that the federal government is collecting “hundreds of billions of dollars” in tariff revenue. Trump’s tariff comments clashed with those of his national economic council director Larry Kudlow, who acknowledged, in an interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday, that Americans will suffer. The full incidence of the tariff falls strictly on domestic consumers. Rick Helfenbein, CEO of American Apparel and Footwear Association says, “This is a self inflicted wound that will be catastrophic for the nation’s economy.” Ultimately, this is a political decision for the president and not an economic decision. Trump is playing to his base by falsely claiming China is raping the United States and he’s standing up to them. He believes his political benefit will come in the 2020 election. He will claim his Democratic opponent would not stand up to unfair trade practices, only him. There are those who will buy it like they do whatever he says. He may reverse the situation when consumers pressure their legislatures, then he’ll say he won while the consumer was losing. Trump is not concerned with raising taxes on American families. That’s what tariffs are. Millions of jobs are threatened that depend on global value chains. Meanwhile, your senators and congressmen sit on their hands and let Trump play his little political game at the country’s expense.

B Good tourneys in spite of bad weather

DICKIE COLBURN FISHING REPORT FOR THE RECORD

With local tournaments scheduled for the next three weekends, area anglers are keeping their fingers crossed and one eye on Toledo Bend. Whatever happened to those light afternoon showers that last just long enough to hold down the temperature? Most of the state had already been taking a pounding, but the lightning-laced downpour that raced through the area last week conjured up fears of more flooding for Harvey’s hardest hit victims. It seems that it is all or nothing anymore and the “all” is a little worse each time! Effectively predicting the lake level on Toledo Bend and managing generating schedules that best protect the folks downstream has become a crapshoot at best. e suggestion to simply hold the level 10 feet lower is not a viable option. e lake continued to rise with eleven gates open at the two foot mark early this week and that was upgraded to three feet in order to check the glut of additional water.Just that one additional foot produced another 10,000 cubic feet of water per hour. tell folks You don’t have to that live below the dam what that means. In last week’s event we received a pretty substantial hit locally as well, but major storms have washed across the state just a little north of us for the past several weeks as well and other impoundments can only hold up so much rainfall. e river is still on the rise and that will once again wreak havoc on salinity levels, but the upcoming river-based tournament is still three weeks away. A lot can happen weather wise between now and then, but we could be in much better shape by early June. Maybe! Ronnie Moon, an angler that has decided that both the angling and maintenance on the north revetment wall go handin-hand will host the 2nd annual revetment wall clean-up tournament this weekend. e initial event was hugely successful and Moon is hoping for an even better turnout this weekend. Moon has definitely figured out how to make cleaning up discarded trash more palatable. e fishing portion of the event will pay a $100 for the largest trout, flounder and redfish and there is no entry fee to participate. Drinks, links and door prizes will also be a part of the 11:30 weigh-in. Fishing will start at 7:00 and every contestant will be issued a clean-up bag, gloves and a free ticket at the S.A.L.T.

TPWD warns anglers on virus Summer school with a smile from imported bait shrimp CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE OUTDOORS WEEKLY

With many people getting out their rod and reel for summer ďŹ shing trips, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) wants to warn all anglers to only use bait shrimp native to the Gulf of Mexico when ďŹ shing in fresh or salt water. Shrimp is a popular choice to use for bait, but not all shrimp species can safely (or legally) be used. Never use "imported" shrimp as bait. "If people ďŹ shing use imported shrimp as bait, they could introduce a deadly virus known as white-spot syndrome virus to native crustacean (shrimp, crabs and crayďŹ sh) populations. If the virus is introduced via infected shrimp, it could wipe-out the crustaceans and have devastating consequences for the entire ecosystem," said TPWD Coastal Fisheries biologist Robert Adami. While not harmful to humans when eaten, the white-spot syndrome virus can survive the freezing process and therefore does not die when imported shrimp is packaged for shipment to food stores.

"Imported shrimp found at food stores or even in bait shops that is not from the Gulf of Mexico should never be used as bait. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;is includes shrimp from other countries like î&#x20AC;&#x201C;ailand or Venezuela or from other states like California," said Adami. Another reason to never use imported shrimp as bait is because it is against the law. Introducing imported shrimp to the aquatic environment is illegal under Texas law, regardless of whether it is alive or dead, whole or in pieces. If you are unsure of the origin of the shrimp you plan to use as bait, do not use it. Federal law requires that imported shrimp be labeled with the country of origin and method of production (wild or farmed). Check the label when purchasing shrimp and look for a label verifying it is Gulf of Mexico shrimp. Labels can sometimes be confusing, so if you are unsure, please ask your provider. For more information on ďŹ shing with bait shrimp, visit www.tpwd.texas.gov/baitshrimp.

GAME WARDEN FIELD NOTES î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e following items are compiled from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement reports.

Something Very Fishy Here On April 7, a Delta County game warden received a phone call stating ďŹ ve men were using two cast nets to catch game ďŹ sh at the Cooper Lake Spillway. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e suspectsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vehicle was located by a State Parks peace oďŹ&#x192;cer at a gas station in Cooper. Upon arrival, the game warden found the suspects to be in possession of 197 game ďŹ sh. Species included hybrid striped bass, white bass, crappie, and catďŹ sh; 29 ďŹ sh were undersized and only one of the ďŹ ve men had a valid ďŹ shing license. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e suspects were in possession of two cast nets and three ďŹ shing poles but no hooks or tackle. Charges pending.

An Illegal Net-work Dallas County game wardens were on patrol when they received a phone call about several individuals netting at Rowlett Creek and keeping game ďŹ sh. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e wardens arrived at the location and observed from a distance six individuals scaling and catching ďŹ sh illegally with a cast net. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e subjects were confronted and admitted to catching all the ďŹ sh with the net. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e violators had 48 ďŹ sh in their possession, and of those 10 were undersized catďŹ sh and 8 undersized white bass. As wardens were citing these violators, two more individuals were observed walking out of the woods carrying a bucket containing a net. After questioning, they admitted to catching ďŹ sh using the net and led the wardens to the location where ďŹ sh were hidden in another bucket in the brush. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e bucket contained 55 ďŹ sh including 34 undersized white bass and 1 undersized crappie. All subjects were cited and released.

Funny Money Wardens observed an individual ďŹ shing on Richland Chambers Reservoir after dark with no lights on his boat and made contact. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e subject was found to have several water safety, ďŹ shing, and narcotics violations, including no lights and no boat registration, no ďŹ shing license, using game ďŹ sh for bait, leaving game ďŹ sh to die, undersized crappie, and possession of methamphetamine, heroin, and marijuana. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e subject was arrested and taken to the Navarro County Jail. A few days later, one of the wardens got a call from the Navarro County SheriďŹ&#x20AC; â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OďŹ&#x192;ce informing them the subjectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife was just arrested for trying to bond her husband out using $900 in counterfeit bills!

No DeFence On April 19, a Brazoria County game warden received a phone call from a local landowner stating three of his blackbuck antelope had been shot. Two antelope were found dead and another one was wounded. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e landowner stated a neighbor saw two men with a .22 riďŹ&#x201A;e along his high fence knew where the suspects lived. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e suspects turned out to be a teenage boy and his father. After separating the pair, the teenage boy stated his dad had shot all three antelope. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e boy also retrieved the .22 riďŹ&#x201A;e that was used, and explained they planned on eating the antelope, but the fence was too high for him to cross over and retrieve the carcasses. With the overwhelming evidence building up against the father, he decided to confess. Hunt without landowner consent, no hunting license, and discharging a ďŹ rearm across property lines were ďŹ led.Â Cases pending.

Cleanup on Aisle 4 On April 15, a Hardin County game warden received a call from the manager of the OďŹ&#x192;ce Depot store in Beaumont. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e manager indicated there was a small hawk ďŹ&#x201A;ying around inside the store and they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it to leave, even though they had the front and back roll-up doors open. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e warden enlisted the help of a licensed falconer experienced in handling and trapping birds of prey. After arriving on scene with a hawk trap and some live bait they soon discovered that although the bird resembled a hawk, it was in fact a large nightjar or â&#x20AC;&#x153;nighthawk,â&#x20AC;? which feeds on insects, rendering the trap idea useless. Undeterred, the warden and his falconer friend resorted to using a ladder and a dip net. After what resembled a scene from Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Funniest Home Videos, they were able to ďŹ nally corral the bird in a back hallway and catch it in the dip net. It was released outside where it ďŹ&#x201A;ew oďŹ&#x20AC; unharmed. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e store manager was very grateful the bird was removed and would not be setting oďŹ&#x20AC; the alarm system after closing.

Four Time Loser Game wardens patrolling Lake Amistad made contact with a boat operator exhibiting signs of possible intoxication and after failing seated ďŹ eld sobriety tests the man was arrested for Boating While Intoxicated. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e subject was found to have 3 previous DWI convictions. Felony BWI was ďŹ led and the subject was taken to the county jail.

FOR THE RECORD

For the majority of our area students school is almost over for the yearÂ and the much anticipated free days of summer are now upon us. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;is time of theÂ year that is tailor made for taking a youngster ďŹ shing. During the school yearÂ everyone is conďŹ ned to schedules that onlyÂ allow free time on the weekends, which coincidentally is when everyone else isÂ free. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e crowds are much larger on the weekends and who knows if the ďŹ sh haveÂ ďŹ gured out what Saturday and Sunday mean. It is awfully diďŹ&#x192;cult to get theÂ ďŹ sh biting and your free time to happen at the same time.Â With a wide open calendar and a little bit of ďŹ&#x201A;exibility in schedules, parentsÂ can treat their kids to a great day on the

water during this time of the year.Â Weather patterns begin to stabilize as the long summer season here in east TexasÂ takes command. Lighter winds mean more comfortable outings as well as plentyÂ more options for places to ďŹ sh. During the spring most ďŹ sherman are conďŹ nedÂ to areas that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t whitecapping so a large portion of our local waters tend toÂ be â&#x20AC;&#x153;oďŹ&#x20AC; limitsâ&#x20AC;? unless you can stand some rough seas.Â Â Several seasonal programs come into play during this time of the year which canÂ really produce some super ďŹ shing. One of the more popular ways to catch ďŹ sh isÂ to use live bait, either under a cork or ďŹ shed on the bottom. Fishing live baitÂ on Sabine Lake means mostly throwing shad or mullet because they are much easierÂ to come by. Most local anglers who throw live bait have becomeÂ handy with a cast net in order to catch their bait, this can be a great way toÂ get a kid involved. I know I have spent several hours just explaining whatÂ diďŹ&#x20AC;erent kinds of ďŹ sh or other critters are to children on

Colburn

my boat during theÂ last couple of years.Â Another summer program that will certainly come back into play this year isÂ chasing schooling ďŹ sh. During the summer months a popular method is chasing ďŹ&#x201A;ocks of gullsÂ that feed on brown shrimp which are driven to the surface by schools ofÂ hungry trout and redďŹ sh. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;is wide open action is just what the doctor orderedÂ when it comes to getting kids interested in the sport of ďŹ shing, lots of ďŹ shÂ and very little down time. If you happen to get in on some of that crazy actionÂ you will understand what I am talking about.Â Whatever way you decide to chase ďŹ sh this summer please be sure and take a kidÂ along, they will always remember the trip. Get some good information and askÂ questions so your time on the water can be as good as it possibly can. After allÂ catching ďŹ sh is just a small part of the game when you think about it, beingÂ with your kids and spending some quality time together is what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about.

cials and soft plastics can score as well. I would also be quick to give a Gulp tail rigged on a jig head a shot as well. While I am always shocked by the amount of litter that a small portion of anglers continue to leave behind, I was even more pleasantly shocked by how clean the levee was following last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. Even while ďŹ shing it only takes a few minutes to police your area, bag up any trash and bring it back to the S.A.L.T. Clubhouse. With access to potentially productive ďŹ shing holes so limited, it is disappointing that any angler would be so careless as to leave it worse than he or she found it. Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament will aďŹ&#x20AC;ord a great opportunity to make a diďŹ&#x20AC;erence! î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e 45th Annual S.A.L.T Club Memorial Day

tournament is also right around the corner and recent changes will make it more ďŹ shermanfriendly than ever before. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e biggest changes will be in the oďŹ&#x20AC;-shore category and more opportunities for contestants to cash a check. You can already pick up entry forms and all of the rules at area dealers and I will cover those changes in next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e ďŹ rst weekend in June a team tournament beneďŹ ting eleven year-old Logan Shiner will be hosted out of the Orange City Boat Ramp. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;is will be a team tournament with a $150 entry fee. First place money is $2,000 and there will be not only be food available, but several other things going on as well. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to ďŹ sh to help Logan out!

Astro players are near the top of every oďŹ&#x20AC;ensive category in the American League Â statistics through Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action. Springer leads the league in home runs (15), RBIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (37) and runs scored (35), and is tied with newcomer Michael Brantley, the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third-best hitter (.331) with 51 base hits each. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e Houston pitchers also fare pretty well in the league with Gerrit Cole leading the major leagues with 86 strikeouts while Jason Verlanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 61 record and 2.52 ERA both rank third in the AL. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope Keuchel hooks up with a team as good as Houston if and when he is oďŹ&#x20AC;ered what he thinks he is worth and comes out with a 2019 contract as fat as Leâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Veon Bellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. KWICKIESâ&#x20AC;Śî&#x20AC;&#x201C;e second major golf tournament of the yearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the PGA Championshipâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; begins tomorrow at Bethpage (NY) as Brooks Koepka defends his 2018 title. And while on the subject of PGA Tour events, Sung Kang sunk a 23-foot birdie on the 15th hole to take the lead he never relinquished and went on to win the rain-plagued Byron Nelson by two strokes over

Scott Piercy and Matt Every. It was the ďŹ rst PGA Tour victory for the 31-year-old South Korean. Congrats to Little CypressMauricevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talented distance runner Eli Peveto who captured silver medals in both the 1600 and 3200 runs last week at the state track meet. Southeast Texas high school football fans were saddened last weekend by the death of Newton head football coach W.T. Johnston, who led the Eagles to consecutive Class AAA state championships the past two seasons. He was diagnosed with lung disease and had complications after a double-lung transplant in 2015. Only one Orange County baseball team, the OrangeďŹ eld Bobcats, remains in the state tournament. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e Bobcats will travel to meet Pollock tomorrow at 6 p.m. and return home to play the second game at OrangeďŹ eld at 3 p.m. Saturday. A third game, if necessary, will follow Game 2. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e winner will play the winner between Grandview and Troy. Other area baseball teams playing the best-of-three series this week include Kirbyville vs.

Palacios at Pearland, HardinJeďŹ&#x20AC;erson vs. HuďŹ&#x20AC;man at Anahuac, Evadale vs. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;rall at Tomball and PNG vs Nederland. JUST BETWEEN USâ&#x20AC;ŚLetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope the Army West Point baseball team duplicates last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s results against Navy and wins the Patriot Conference Championships this weekend at Annapolis. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e best-of-three series begins Friday at 6 p.m., continues Saturday at 1 p.m. and Sunday (if necessary) at 1 p.m. My grandson Logan Smith is expected to see action in the series after two strong mound performances last week. He came in for the last two innings to save a 10-7 Army lead but his teammates hosed him out of the save by scoring six runs to win 16-7. Army needed three games to subdue Holy Cross last weekend in the conference semiďŹ nals with Logan entering the game with his team trailing 6-1 and ďŹ nished the ďŹ nal three innings with the Black Knights losing 64. î&#x20AC;&#x201C;e winner of the ArmyNavy series gets and automatic bid into the NCAA baseball playoďŹ&#x20AC;s next week.

LC-M High School Choir earns Sweepstakes at Competition

The Little Cypress-Mauriceville Chancel Choir, under the direction of Nikki Hanson, brought home Sweepstakes, from the annual UIL Concert and Sight-Reading Contest. This is a two-part competition, in which the choir performs prepared pieces before three judges, who rate the choir based on their musicality. Each judge gives the performance a rating, with a One, or Superior, being the best they can achieve. Similarly, the sight-reading portion of the contest has three judges with the same rating scale, only in this portion the choir is judged on their ability to look at a piece they have never seen and sing through it accurately. If the group gets a One, or Superior in both of these performances, they receive the Sweepstakes award.

Daylilies: Summer’s Resilient Beauty

Sheri Bethard Orange County Master Gardeners How many of you remember your grandma’s yard being full of bright yellow daylilies? Well, your grandma’s daylilies have come a long way from then. ere are more than 90,000, yes 90,000 registered cultivars of daylilies with the American Hemerocallis Society. ese flowers can be unique by: Flower form; Hardiness Zone; Fragrance; Bloom Time; Blooms per plant; Brighter colored flower (in any shade but blue); and/or Subtle change in markings on petals. Daylilies can be bought locally from daylily farms or you can purchase them online or mail order catalogue. Once you receive your daylilies, regardless where you purchased them, you should first inspect the roots for dehydration. It is best to soak the roots for at least one hour or longer with a bit of liquid plant food before planting especially if you received them in the mail. e best time to mail order or order online is in late winter so you can plant in the spring and give them a season to grow developing a good root system before blooming. After you have inspected the roots and soaked them, you are ready for planting. Daylilies are grown best in full sun and when planted in small mounds slightly above the ground. Dig a hole as deep as the crown of your daylily (the part where the leaves meet the roots). With the loose soil, add compost to help with aeration and mix well. Add some of the soil/compost mix in the hole and then the daylily with the roots first. Build the mound up to the crown loosely packing the soil. Water enough to keep moist until new growth appears. Growing daylilies are easy. First you need well-drained soil to keep them from rotting. But they still need to have consistently moist soil to help them bloom profusely. Watering them weekly to make sure they receive a couple of inches will help in times when rainfall is scarce. Live-heading your daylilies each evening is another way of helping keep your garden pretty. Since they only bloom for 24 hours, you are clearing

out the way for tomorrow’s ﬂowers and enjoying the fragrance of today’s blooms. Fertilizing daylilies is done twice a year – at” CANDY TIME!” otherwise known as Halloween and Valentines Day. Feed your daylilies a good nitrogen based food such as Milogranite® with a cup full sprinkled on each clump like adding seasonings to food.

Daylily terms FLOWER FORMS Single – ree petals and three sepals Polumerous – More than the normal number of segments in each floral whorl Double – More than one whorl of petals and sepals or peony-like outgrowth Unusual form – Distinctive petal or sepal shapes, affecting the form of the flower in a unique way Spider – Petals much longer than they are wide COLOR MARKINGS Band – A coloring that does not show on the sepals Eye – A coloring that is on both the petals and the sepals, and is darker than the rest of the segments Bicolor – Petals are different and darker color than the sepals Eyezone – Zone of color above the throat Bitone – Petals are a different and darker color than the sepals Halo – An eye that is very narrow or indistinct and shows on both the petals and sepals Blend – Petals and sepals are two or more colors Midrib – e center vein that runs through each petal and sepal, it can be a different color Diamond Dusting – e flower reflects light as if it is sparkling Polychrome – Petals and sepals have intermingling of three or more colors Dotted Dusted – e surface color is unevenly distributed over the background color Self – Petals and sepals are all the same color Edge/picoted – e edges or the flower segments are a different color Tipped – e tips of the flower are a different color Watermark – An eye that is lighter color than everything else on the segment

The Kiwanis Club of Orange recently presented a $500 donation to West Orange – Stark Elementary School. Donated funds purchased books for 71 students in grades kindergarten through five at the WOS Elementary Book Fair. “It is truly an honor to be able to have the means to support a program like this that can provide a little spark to inspire or motivate children. Every fundraising event we sponsor goes to projects like this, making this community better one child at a time,” Kiwanis President Shane Johns said. As a local, non-profit, 501(c)4 organization, the Kiwanis Club of Orange hosts the Annual Orange Christmas Parade and an annual Glow Golf Tournament. Proceeds from the events provide college scholarships to local high school seniors, as well as other youth related projects. The organization welcomes new members.

ORANGE COUNTY CHURCH DIRECTORY

You Are Not Special, But You Are His Scotty Smith Pastor Franklin, Tennessee As I recently prepared to celebrate my 51st Easter, it occurred to me that one of the most important journeys I have taken during my life in Christ has been to close the distance between a John 3:16 spirituality and a Galatians 2:20 spirituality. Most of us are familiar with these two passages: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16) The life I now live . . . I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20) It is a great thing to confidently affirm one’s secure place in the big world upon which God has set his great love for us in Jesus — to gladly be among that vast number of whoevers who believe in Jesus. But it is quite another thing to be able to say with both certainty and astonishment, “The Son of God loved me and gave himself for me.” I was a general affirmer of God’s love long before I was a specific delighter in it. No Longer Nameless When it comes to the grandeur of the gospel, every analogy falls short, but here’s one born from my own experience. I have always loved the music of Paul McCartney, one of the four members of the legendary band the Beatles. As a gift, a friend took me several years ago to see Sir Paul at a sold-out concert in Atlanta, and our seats were dead center, ten rows from the stage. I felt quite honored just to be among the 21,000 screaming fans. But a few months later, one of our church members was on the Fox News broadcast team for the Super Bowl, and Paul McCartney just happened to be the halftime entertainment for the game that year. Watching him perform that day brought back rich memories of having seen my favorite Beatle perform live. The next Sunday, my TVpersonality friend showed up at church with a brown paper bag. With a hard-to-hide grin on his face, he lifted a framed picture of Paul McCartney with this hand-written inscription in bold, big letters: “To Scotty,

Cheers, Sir Paul McCartney.” To say I was blown away would be an understatement for the ages. I was no longer just a nameless guy in a huge coliseum. I had a personal inscription from Paul McCartney to me — a picture I still treasure. Here’s where the analogy falls gloriously apart. Though I have never met Paul McCartney, I have met Jesus. God was pleased to reveal Jesus to me (Galatians 1:16). God has written my name in heaven — much better than any autograph I have (Luke 10:20). And now God knows me (Galatians 4:9), which is way more profound than the fact that I know him. All these personal pronouns matter, including the first-person pronouns I, me, and my. Characters in God’s Story This isn’t to privatize our faith, but to prize it — not to individualize Christianity, but to understand the deeply personal dimensions of the gospel. We are to grow into a heart-inflaming, knee-buckling, worship-fueling realization that God loves each of his daughters and sons, and not just the whole collective entity of his every-nation, redeemed family. And ramping that up a big notch, we are to see and savor that God loves me (and you) to the same degree and with the same delight that he loves Jesus (John 17:23). That’s not a gamechanger; it’s an everythingchanger. The resurrection day visitations of Jesus underscore the to-be-cherished reality of individual relationship with Jesus. MARY AT THE TOMB Mary Magdalene was the first post-resurrection evangelist — first to the empty tomb and first to declare Jesus’s triumph over the grave to the disciples. Though we have precious few details about Mary’s healing and the nature of her “seven demons” (Luke 8:1–3), we know her name and part of her story. Mary was a person, not a metaphor. She became a committed follower of Jesus because Jesus poured forth great mercy, grace, and love upon her. Some of us also have stories of tremendous brokenness, bondage, and illness. We too have individual names, and Je-

sus has come to set us free. We’re not mere categories; we are characters in God’s great story of redemption. For God so loved the world, he gave Jesus. For God so loved you, he gave Jesus — to you and for you. You’re not a type or project, or a set of letters or numbers from a personality test. PETER BY THE SEA And then there’s Peter, who was outrun by fellow apostle John to Jesus’s tomb (John 20:3–4). Even though Peter was slow of foot, we should appreciate his desire to get to Jesus as soon as possible. His was a story of failure, pride, and denial — just like many of us. But Jesus’s story is one of welcome and restoration — a kindness Peter had already experienced many times in the previous three years. Before long, Peter would hear his name firmly and tenderly spoken by the resurrected Jesus: “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” The dialogue was far more healing and freeing than it was painful (John 21:15–19). We cannot run to Jesus without discovering that it is Jesus who is always running first and fastest to us — to you and me. Jesus is the answer for all our guilt and shame too. CLEOPAS ON THE ROAD Late in the afternoon of Easter Sunday, we meet Cleopas — one of two forlorn friends walking on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13–35). They had hoped Jesus was the promised Messiah. But now, they assumed, Jesus lay as a lifeless corpse — a victim of treachery and murder. But their stone-cold hope segued into burning hearts when Jesus revealed himself to them and gave them the Bible study we all wish were recorded. “Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning him-

self ” (Luke 24:27 NIV). What love and care, engagement and personal hope, Jesus gave these two men — just two men from a covenant family as numerous as stars, sand, and dust, but men with names and stories, just like me and you. Jesus continues to reveal himself, by the word and Spirit, to each of his beloved disciples. In fact, our position in the history of redemption is even more to be desired than what Cleopas and his friend enjoyed. For we have the completion of God’s revelation, the Old and New Testaments, which both attest to the glory and grace of Jesus and our glorious salvation in him. We are that known, loved, and pursued by Jesus. Not Special, But His The whole gospel is for the whole family of God, a family which is being gathered from every race, tribe, tongue, and nation. But take a few moments to marinate in the love our Father has lavished on you in Jesus. This isn’t a selfish act. It’s an act of wonder, love, and praise. Because Jesus lived a life of perfect obedience for you, as your substitute; and died in your place upon the cross, exhausting God’s judgment against your sin; and was raised from the dead for your justification, God loves you just as much as he loves Jesus. God cannot love you more, and he will never love you less. God doesn’t love you to the degree you are like Christ, but to the degree you are in Christ, which is one hundred percent. God has hidden your life safely and completely in Jesus. Your Father has begun a good work in you that he will most definitely complete. All of this doesn’t make you special, but it certainly makes you his. Scotty Smith (@ScottyWardSmith) is the founding pastor of Christ Community Church in Franklin, Tennessee.
