Orange County tackles Imelda debris removal to declare a Public Assistance emergency, which is needed to assure government reimbursement for debris cleanup. In the meantime, Orange County jurisdictions are getting by with their local workers and a big hand from the Texas Department of Transportation.

Joel Ardoin, county emergency management coordinator, reported that the Orange County Road & Bridge Department had by the end of Monday picked up 94 loads with its grapple trucks, a total of 252 cubic yards of Sheetrock, insulation and personal belongings ruined by the Sept. 17-18 storm that

dumped as much as 40 inches of rain on Southeast Texas in a 24-hour period. TxDOT began using its bigger grapple trucks in the county’s unincorporated areas Monday and collected 1,400 cubic yards of debris in a day, Ardoin said. But he estimated that in the entire county, there were

as many as 250,000 cubic yards needing pickup. He said that FEMA officials had certified about 2,300 homes in Orange County had major flood damage. Of that, Ardoin said as many as 1,700 of those homes were in the Vidor IMELDA DEBRIS Page 3A

Orange County Judge John Gothia began and ended Commissioners’ Court Tuesday with two pleas regarding debris left by Tropical Storm Imelda. He asked for homeowners

to be patient. And be safe. “We’ve got some neighborhoods where the debris piles are so high along the streets that it’s pretty much tunnel vision [for motorists and pedestrians]. Be careful out there.” Be patient, because the federal government has yet

Orange County’s newest commissioner and a fourterm judge at-law face competition next year and a candidate for constable brings light to a quirky law. Working backward, campaign treasurer designation filings at the Elections Administration Office show: * Precinct 4 Deputy Constable Matt Ortego has filed to be Precinct 4 Constable; *Assistant County Attorney Mike Marion has filed to oppose Troy Johnson, the four-term County Court AtLaw #2 judge; and, * Retired chemical plant shift coordinator Carl LeB-

lanc is taking on Precinct 3 Commissioner Kirk Roccaforte, who was appointed to the position in July to replace John Gothia, who became County Judge. Johnson, Roccaforte and Precinct 1 Constable Lannie Claybar also recently filed the paperwork naming campaign treasurers, which is required before a person can declare their candidacy and begin soliciting campaign donations. Jeff Young, Christopher Berry and Brad Frye had previously filed to run for County Judge, Constable Precinct 2 and Constable Precinct 3, respectively.

On Friday Jocelynn Myrick has been crowned the 2019 Orangefield Bobcat Homecoming Queen beneath a spectacular fireworks display at F.L. McClain Stadium. Jocelynn was escorted onto the field by her father, Brett Myrick.

Lions Club Carnival revives old tradition plus new fun Penny Leleux

For The Record

The Lions Club Carnival is filled with tradition and has delighted children for over 70 years. The delight continues starting tonight as the carnival begins its annual two-week run. A favorite tradition that has been missing for a few years is rumored to be returning…popcorn balls. Due to a scheduling conflict we weren’t able to get the skinny on the return of the delicacy before press time, but we did find out about the origin story of how

popcorn balls first came to the carnival from 92 year old Addie Wallace. Wallace was a long time volunteer at the Lions Club Carnival. She ran the popcorn booth with her best friend, Pat Appel, and a few other volunteers for many years. In fact, last year’s carnival was dedicated to Wallace and her late husband, Frank. It started on a rainy, carnival night, of which there

have been many through the years. There was so much popcorn left over at the end of the night, they didn’t want to waste it, but then again, it couldn’t be sold the next night because it would be stale. It was a problem they frequently had. Their solution was the popcorn ball. It took a while to get the recipe down. “If you get them too sticky or not enough, they fall apart,” said Wallace. “It de-

pends on the amount of marshmallow.” Wallace doesn’t remember the exact proportions they came up with. The original recipe was lost in Hurricane Harvey and Wallace hasn’t been able to get in touch with Appel to see if she still has the recipe. “She’s probably in Africa or somewhere,” said Wallace. She said Appel and her husband still travel extensively. Wallace said she remembers it was one stick of butter, but she doesn’t remember how many marshmalLIONS Page 3A

Bridge City prepares for 2019 Homecoming

Flu season is underway, get vacinated now Staff Report

Homecoming has arrived this week in Bridge City. The Bridge City Cardinals will host Huffman in the annual homecoming football game to be attended by hundreds of BCHS alumni members and features the Class of 1974. At halftime BCHS will crown it’s next Homecoming Queen. Amid all the pomp and ceremony the event deserves all eyes will turn to the 2019 BCHS Homecoming Court. Selected for the court are: (Left to Right) Freshman Daelyn Perry, Sophomore Lyndsie Clark, Junior Destiny Block, Senior Diana Le, Senior Hannah Silveira, Senior Ashlyn Dommert, Senior Shelbi Whitaker, Junior Valeria Gonzalez, Sophomore Briana Zuniga, Freshman Emma Briggs.

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.

County elections The 2020 election is set for Nov. 3, with the party primaries March 3, 2020. Ortego, 34, is signed up to run for the office currently held by Lane Mooney, whose first term in the Precinct 4 Constable’s office doesn’t expire until Dec. 31, 2020. Texas Election Law requires a local office holder to resign before running for a new office if the amount of time left in the existing term is more than a year and 30 days. Former Port Arthur Mayor Derrick Freeman lost his seat as a city councilman when he announced his run for mayor more than a year, 30 days before the next election. “Lane Mooney is not going to be running for constable,” said Ortego. “I was highly encouraged by Lane Mooney to run for the job.” Word around the county for months has been that Mooney, a former Sheriff ’s deputy, intends to run for Sheriff. Keith Merritt, current Sheriff, has indicated he’s retiring after 2020. “I’m contemplating it,” Mooney told The Record Newspapers. “There are some timelines. An elected official cannot announce more than a year plus 30 days out.” In order to get on an official ballot, candidates must register with their county party between Nov. 9 and Dec. 9. Ortego worked as a corrections officer in Jefferson County before working for former Precinct 4 Constable Weldon Peveto as a reserve officer. He worked for Vidor ISD’s Police Department, then as deputy sheriff in Newton and Jasper Counties, rising as high as patrol lieutenant. He now teaches criminal justice at Silsbee High

School and works for Mooney as deputy. “When people hear I’m running for constable, they all ask me about Lane,” Ortego said. “All I can tell you, he’s possibly going to run for Sheriff, but he’s not running for constable.” Marion, 51, is a former detective and chief deputy at the Orange County Sheriff ’s Office who has spent the last 11 years practicing law either in private practice or as an assistant county attorney. He is currently chief felony prosecutor in the 260th District Court and the father of four says his primary interest is in the area of juvenile justice, a feature of the At-Law courts. “I always like working with kids and this will help me do more to change the kids to not spend the rest of their lives in the justice system,” Marion said. He said as a third-year law student he interned in the Orange County District Attorney’s office and picked the first jury before newly ap-

pointed judge, Troy Johnson, in the County Court At-Law #2. “I was a prosecutor in that court for four years, too, when I was here the first time [a 2008-2011 stint as assistant county attorney]. “This is nothing toward Judge Johnson. We’ve been friends for many years and I hope we can stay friends forever. But it’s time for a change, and I’d like to be that change.” LeBlanc, 62, is a Bridge City High School grad who went to work for Gulf Oil in 1977 and recently retired as shift coordinator from the company now known as Chevron Phillips Chemical. He has been a regular at commissioners’ court meetings for months. “Even before I retired, I came to a lot of commissioners’ meetings, and now that I’m retired, it can be my fulltime job. “I’m not a politician.

area. “The worst damage was in the central point of the county, in the Orangefield school district and up FM 1442 westward, as well as Mauriceville,” he said. Ardoin said that as of Tuesday, there were about six to eight double-hauler trucks picking up debris in the county. “We’re definitely trying to get this debris stuff started,” Gothia said. “We are definitely calling the state on a regular basis trying to get it [a national public disaster declaration] done.” Citizens are reminded that debris needs to be placed on the road side of drainage ditches and not in a roadway if humanly possible. TxDOT is only making one pass through the county’s roads and streets, Gothia said. “We’ve signed a contract with TxDOT and they will go to neighborhoods. Our focus right now is neighborhoods.” A quick check with the cities of Bridge City and Orange Tuesday revealed their public works officials have already cleaned up the limited

debris in their city limits. “We got lucky in Bridge City. We only had about four homes get flooded and the debris is gone,” Mike Plumb said. Jim Wolf, public works director for Orange, said, “We picked up about 32 grapple truck loads, about 950 cubic yards. “We’ve got it all picked up, that we know about.” Ardoin said about 40 homes in the city of Orange flooded. Orange County has contracts with debris hauler AshBritt and monitoring service TetraTech, but currently plans to only use them if FEMA gives the go-ahead to offer reimbursement to local governments. “We’ve reached the threshold for the number of homes affected for FEMA to grant Individual Assistance to homeowners but the state of Texas needs to show $37.6 million in damage to public structures. Without FEMA’s help paying for debris removal, the county will have to spend out of its contingency funds, also known as the Rainy Day Fund.

Their recipe was developed according to the pan size they had. She said the popcorn balls sold quickly every night. Many people bought multiples. They began over popping on purpose to have more popcorn for balls. Many days they would make 100 or so. When the pair retired from the carnival, the popcorn balls fell by the wayside, but they are making a come-

All debris picked up by the county goes to the county landfill temporarily but ultimately will be compacted and trucked to the Waste Management landfill in Newton County. Ardoin said Waste Management is charging the county $8.44 per cubic yard to allow the storm debris at the Newton County landfill. If Ardoin’s estimate of 250,000 cubic yards holds, that’s $2.11 million. The good news is that the Orange County Convention and Expo Center is playing home to a FEMA Disaster Recovery Center, a federal Business Recovery Center and a Red Cross processing center. The DRC is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week to assist people registering and filing for FEMA Individual Assistance. The BRC is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and the Red Cross is registering those affected by Imelda from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. except for Thursday, when it will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN Obituaries 10 Years Ago-2009

From The Creaux’s Nest IT’S TIME FOR A BREAK FROM MORBIA I haven’t been to work in over a week. I’m not a happy camper when I can’t get out with the natives and go to work. Over the last few days I’ve been spending too much time at Gulf Coast Cardiology and with Dr. Morbia. I like the Doc and spending time with him, he’s very smart. I like picking his mind. He loves his work and prides himself with keeping patients heart healthy. I’ve been depending on him for over a dozen years. He knows everything about my heart and arteries because he’s constantly monitoring my cardio system. I’m not complaining but last week he did a procedure and now I have to go back for this and that. As much as I like him I need a break from him and get back to my rat-killing. Seriously Morbia is a very interesting guy. In fact, next time you see him, ask him why people are saying he should appear on “America’s Got Talent.” Come Wednesday I’ll get my final report from him, he will probably scold me about smoking and I’ll lie to him and he’ll know I’m trying to pull his leg. I won’t have to have his services until the next checkup in six months. I’ve already told him I had taken my last stress test. I hate that thing. I’ll thank him and say, “Doc, we’ve been spending too much time together so I’m out of here.” He’ll laugh and say, “Why do I like you so much.” “Because you can torcher me and make me do what I don’t want to do,” I’ll reply. *****I have to move on with what I’ve been able to put together on the run. Please come along, I promise I won’t do you no harm.

DOLLY HONORED AT OPRY Last Saturday night in Nashville, 73-year-old Dolly Parton was honored as a 50-year member of the Grand Ole Opry. She actually first preformed there 60 years ago when she was only 13-years-old. In Saturday’s honors the actress, singer/ songwriter was entertained by friends Hank Williams, Jr., Lady Antebellum and Toby Keith, who played to a sellout crowd. The show capped off a week of Dolly themed performances and events at the Opry. Parton said, “I’m just honored that I’m still around and can actually perform and get out there and do what I love to do.” The Opry performance will be aired on an NBC special Nov. 26. Mark your calendar. I first saw Dolly perform in 1972 in Beaumont with the Porter Waggoner show. I was impressed then and I’ve followed her career over the last 47 years. She’s put out some great songs and good acting work, including “9 to 5” and “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.” She is truly one of our national treasurers. Dolly came from humble beginnings and has been very generous with her good fortune. By the way, her boobs have grown since I first saw her.

The panel of Roccaforte, Hahn and Dunn did yeoman’s work but it was Thibodeaux’s children Erin, Tanya and Tyler who stole the show. They didn’t cut old dad any slack. “Thib” was good on his feet in rebuttal.

A FEW HAPPENINGS I was surprised to learn, when I read our last weeks paper, that our longtime friend Ray Leleux, 75, had died on Oct. 7. He was a native of Kaplan, LA., in Vermillion Parish. For the last 40 years Ray had run his barber shop in Bridge City. He was always available to the early risers. Ray would cut the working man’s hair at 5:50 a.m. if need be. Ray was fond of playing jokes. He and his friends, Vance Chauvin and Kenneth “Kee-Kee” Dupuis always had some sort of shenanigans going on. Ray never met a stranger and was proud of his Cajun heritage. The “Apple Fritter” man is gone and Texas Ave., in Bridge City will never be the same.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Clovis Comeaux was feeling guilty him, so he figure that maybe going to Confession might help. Comeaux tell da priest in da confessional, “Fater, I kinda took a little lumber from dat new construction site me.” Fater Broussard axe, “Wat did you do wit dat lumber, hanh?” Comeaux answer, “Well Fater, my porch had a hole for a long time. I was afraid me, somebody might break a leg so I fix it.” Fater Broussard said, “Well, dats not too bad.” Comeaux say, “Well, me I had a little lumber left.” Da priest axe, “Wat did you do wit it?” Comeaux answer, “Well, my poor dog, Phideaux, he ain’t never had no place to get outta da weather so I make him his own dog house.” Fater Broussard say, “Ok, is that it?” Comeaux answer, “Well, I had a little lumber left so I made my truck a two car garage.” Da priest say, “Now dis is getting out of hand.” Comeaux say, “But Fater, I still got a little lumber left and my wife Clotile she always want a bigger house so I add a bedroom and a bashroom.” Fater Broussard say, “Dat’s going too far. For your penance you are going to have to make a novena. You know how to make one don’t you?” Comeaux answer, “Fater, if you got da plans me, I got da lumber.”

C’EST TOUT Chaos and Falsehoods Trump MO Sixty-three percent of the American people say the White House should cooperate with the congressional impeachment inquiry. Meanwhile FOX News poll says 51% of voters believe Trump should be impeached and removed from office. The United States President gave Russia’s Putin an early Christmas present in Syria by moving U.S. troops out and exposing the Kurds to be slaughtered by Turkey.*****Industry reports are that the United States is in a manufacturing recession. New manufacturing jobs are being added at lowest rate in years. Conservatives are not really happy Trump has created the highest deficit and national debt in history. The deficit, since the $1.6 trillion tax break to himself and other wealthy people, has created a one trillion dollar deficit every year for the next ten years.*****Over at FOX News, Shepard Smith did a Johnny Paycheck, “Take this job and shove it.” Shep is a real newsman I watched everyday at 2 p.m. Hannity and Company have changed FOX News to a Trump network. Shep said after 23 years it’s too nauseating to be a part of it anymore. That leaves only Chris Wallace to play it straight. Most of the rest is garbage. Trump’s “Ace in the Hole” is that he will stonewall, hoping to run out the clock. Rudy will be squeezed badly. There are a lot of skeletons in his business closet and the bones are rattling.*****Trump is turning to use profanity in his rallies like he did in Lake Charles last week. This shows what he really thinks about his supporters when he feels he must use gutter language. By the way, FactCheck gave Trump 38 Pinocchios in that 90 minute, repetitive talk. Three different FactChecks show he has told over 13,000 lies since becoming president. The biggest lie he told in Lake Charles is that he is responsible for the Sempra Energy LNG plant in Hackberry. He’s taking credit for a project that was started nine years ago during the Obama Administration. Pitiful.*****On a lighter note: My favorite TV commercial in the Turkey is the Chantix commercial. “He’s Cool.” Great agency work.*****Thanks for your time, mine is up. Take Care and God Bless.

Pictured are Tim Singleton, Ag. teacher, Sunshine Copeland, grant writer, and Corey Sheppard, Orangefield High School Assistant Principal.

Officers of the PTO of Little Cypress Elementary, visited the October Board of Trustees meeting to present a check for over $14,000 to build two outdoor classrooms. Principal Kayla Casey said that she has wanted to provide the outdoor facility since she became principal and is thrilled that it is about to happen. Also attending the meeting were Kimberly and Jonathan Simon, owners of CCR Graphics. The Simons came up with a t-shirt design to support the unity of the District when schools on the Little Cypress side of the District welcomed the displaced classes from Mauriceville. They sold T-shirts to raise funds for the Mauriceville campuses that flooded. They presented a check for the proceeds raised by selling the T-shirts to the District.

Avoiding Large Losses in Your Portfolio "Rule No.1: Never lose money. Rule No.2: Never forget rule No.1." – Warren Buﬀett1 Risk is a factor in any investment decision that you make. Your tolerance for risk is something that you will want to consider when you make decisions alongside your trusted ﬁnancial professional. Your risk tolerance is balanced against your time horizon, meaning the time between now and your anticipated retirement date. But is it possible to avoid a loss? No, not completely, but you can take steps to manage that risk when investing. is is where conversations about your risk tolerance are critical. What would you rather have, $500 right now or a 50% chance at $2,000? Many people go for the $2,000 and rightfully so. Since you have a 50/50 chance, a decision tree shows the $2,000 answer carries a potential value of $1,000. But let’s add a few zeros and see if that changes your perspective. What would you rather have, $50,000 right now or a 50% chance at $200,000? e decision tree says the opportunity to win $200,000 has the highest potential value. But in reality,

Ian E. James many people second-guess that decision because $50,000 is a lot of money. Remember, there is no correct answer to the questions. ey simply help you better understand the concept of risk. Investment risk can be managed, but it can’t be eliminated entirely. All investments carry some level of risk. And in general, the greater the risk an investment carries, the higher its potential return. Risk happens, but don’t let it get in the way of your dreams. Ultimately, these concerns should only serve to inform you and the questions that you ask the ﬁnancial professional you are working with. e conversation should include your questions about the risks for each strategy presented as well as questions from your professional about the retirement you want and the aspirations you hope to realize.

Great comebacks for Texas sports fans

JOE KAZMAR KAZ’S KORNER FOR THE RECORD

I did something Sunday I don’t think ever happened in the six decades I’ve been an avid sports fan. I plopped down in my favorite chair and watched sports on television from the mid-morning NFL pregame shows until after midnight with the Houston Astros’ extra-inning playoff game against the New York Yankees. e meals were eaten in front of the boob tube. e three sport events that had my undivided attention were the NFL games involving Houston at Kansas City where the Texans were a touchdown underdog, the Dallas Cowboys at the winless New York Jets where they were nearly a two-touchdown favorite and Game 2 of the ALDS playoffs between the Houston Astros and New York Yankees. e first period of the game at noisy Arrowhead Stadium was hard to digest when Kansas City took the opening kickoff and drove it the length of the field for a touchdown. On the first play from scrimmage, Texans running back Carlos Hyde fumbled and the Chiefs recovered and scored on another 90-yard touchdown drive. Houston did manage a first quarter field goal, but Kansas City really looked like the Super Bowl contender the preseason prognosti-

cators evaluated in August. But Houston settled down and got right back into the football game by outscoring the hosting Chiefs 20-0 in the second quarter and taking a 23-17 lead into the dressing room at halftime. KC quarterback Patrick Mahomes continued to connect with his targets and accounted for the only third period points as the Chiefs began the final quarter leading 24-23. However, the final period belonged to the Texans who scored the deciding touchdown and two-point conversion bringing the final score to 31-24 and maintaining their hold on the AFC South Division lead with a 4-2 record. e Cowboys started their game even worse than Houston as they managed only three field goals in the first three quarters and found themselves trailing the 0-4 Jets 21-9 at the start of the fourth period. eir great offensive machine could never get started. Cowboy quarterback Dak Prescott woke up his pals and led a comeback by scoring a pair of touchdowns, but needed a twopoint conversion to send the game into overtime in the waning seconds of the game. Jets defensive coordinator Gregg Williams—the same Gregg Williams who paid boun-

ties when he was at New Orleans—called for an all-out blitz on the two-point try and blanketed Prescott before he could do anything, salvaging the Jets’ 24-22 victory. After a half-hour break, my main focus switched to baseball where the Houston Astros sent out their ace pitcher Justin Verlander to try and even the bestof-seven playoffs to 1-1 before going to Yankee Stadium last night. It was really strange that in the pre-game show former Yankee Alex Rodriguez mentioned that Astros shortstop Carlos Correa was quiet in the first game that was won by New York 7-0 and he predicted he would come to life Sunday night. Big Papi added that he thought George Springer would hit a home run. ese two analysts must be psychic because both Springer and Correa were very instrumental in the game’s outcome. Correa drove in the game’s first run with a double in the second inning. Verlander was as stingy as always, issuing a rare walk and then giving up a two-run homer to 6-7, 280-pound Aaron Judge in the top of the fourth inning. Springer evened the scored at 22 with a home run in the bottom of the fifth inning. e next six innings were a game of cat-and-mouse between Yankee manager Aaron Boone and Astros’ skipper A.J. Hinch

Carlos Correa goes deep to tie the ALCS series 1-1 on Sunday night.

who set some kind of record by running different pitchers out of their respective bullpens often as the score remained tied at 2-2. New York came closest to scoring with runners on first and second when a hard-hit grounder bounced off Jose Altuve and caromed toward shortstop Correa, who grabbed the ball barehanded and first a strike to catcher Robinson Chirinos who tagged the runner out to preserve the tie. Hinch used his ace set-up man Will Harris in the seventh inning and brought in closer Roberto Osuna in the ninth inning and was concerned when Ryan Pressly gave up two hits in the 10th inning and brought in Josh James, who put out the fire. James also pitched a perfect 11th inning and was the winning pitcher when Correa blasted a walk-off home run in the bottom of the inning giving the Astros a much-needed 3-2 win and evened the series at 1-1. Monday was a travel day and Yankee Stadium in New York would be the site of the next three games, including yesterday afternoon’s game that was started

by top 2019 Cy Young candidate Gerrit Cole. KWICKIES…e West Orange-Stark Mustangs kept their streak intact after upsetting preseason predicted district champion Silsbee 17-9 at the Tigers’ stadium Friday night. e Mustangs haven’t lost a district game since 2009 and should keep that record intact at then end of this season. LSU’s impressive 42-28 victory over Florida Saturday night vaulted them into second place in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 College Football Rankings, behind top-rated Alabama. Clemson and Ohio State each dropped a point to No. 3 and No. 4, respectively, while Oklahoma moved up a step to No. 5. Wisconsin jumped up two places to No. 6 and Penn State came up three spots to No. 7, Notre Dame moved up one slot to No. 8, Florida dropped two places to No. 9 and Georgia sunk seven spots to No. 10. Texas went down four spots to No. 15, Baylor moved up four places to No. 18 and SMU jumped two notches to No. 19. Lanto Griﬃn won the Hous-

ton Open by a single stroke Sunday and collected his first winning check for $1.35 million. e winning trophy was presented to Griffin by Houston Astros’ owner Jim Crane at the Golf Club of Houston. Griffin had rounds of 66-74-65-69—274 which is 14 strokes under par. He beat Scott Harrington and Mark Hubbard by a single stroke. JUST BETWEEN US…ere are only two undefeated teams left in the National Football League, one being expected and the other a huge surprise. e New England Patriots at 6-0 is not any kind of a surprise, beating Pittsburgh (33-3), Miami (430), NY Jets (30-14), Buffalo (16-10), Washington (33-7) and the NY Giants (35-14). San Francisco at 5-0 is wowing the fans with victories over Tampa Bay (31-17), Cincinnati (41-17), Pittsburgh (24-20), Cleveland (31-3) and the LA Rams (20-7). On the other side of the coin, only two teams are winless—Cincinnati (0-6) and Miami (0-5).

Broussard led the Bobcats on the ground with 74 yards on 17 carries, while Hester Puckett had 62 yards on 15 carries. Ashworth collected 55 yards on eight carries. Jones completed 2 of 7 passes for 10 yards passing. e Bobcats travel to Hardin this Friday to face the Hornets in district play.

I have no idea why we as anglers are constantly trying to complicate things, always re-inventing the wheel and adding corners. In our never ending quest to catch more and bigger fish we often stray down the path which we think leads to discovery only to find that out that if we had just read the street signs we’d be in much better shape. Over the years it seems like we have become so detailed and specific that the average fisherman suffers from “paralysis by analysis”. Fishing reports have become “thesis like” statements so full details that instead of helping they now hinder the angler. A once simple task has now become so complex that many anglers doubt their own ability to catch fish. An extremely simple answer to this new “information overload phenomenon” can be summed up with 4 letters, “K.I.S.S.”, and they stand for Keep It Simple Stupid. I am a firm believer in the concept and you should be as well. In our quest to become “fish catching machines” and “super

anglers” many of the best things about the sport of fishing routinely take a backseat to the “newest, latest, and greatest”. I usually get my own brand of wake up call from clients who share the boat with me, especially kids and anglers new to the sport. Sometimes it takes seeing the sport through a different set of eyes to help you truly focus on what’s good. If you stop for just a moment and think about what is the most basic and pure moment in the whole fishing equation it has to be when a fish pulls on the other end of the line. At that moment it doesn’t matter what lure or bait your using, what rod your casting, or even what kind of fish is doing the pulling. All that is good about the sport is compressed into that split second when excitement and anticipation meet, that’s what keeps us coming back. Now a lot of fisherman will scoff at the notion of simplifying the fishing process and they are certainly welcome to do that because the sport means different things to different people. I personally love to simplify things every now and again because it helps me gain perspective. Here recently I have taken to the notion of getting “uncomplicated” and it’s been a blast. For years when I first started guiding my security blanket if you will was a handful of Mansfield Maulers and a bag

of glo cocahoe minnows. I spent hours drifting that slender rattling cork made by the legendary Bob Fuston and I caught the heck out of fish while doing so. I have come full circle and returned to my old ways it seems as I now reach for that rod with a cork on it more often. I don’t care who you are or where you fall out on the angling scale everyone who fishes loves to see a cork dance and then plunge under water, it’s the most basic of all scenes in the sport and something that every fisherman has in common with one another. e idea of fishing with a cork will certainly be met with resistance from those who believe themselves above such mundane types of fishing and that’s okay because everyone has certain likes and dislikes. I have no problem slowing things down every now and again, taking a little time to just have some fun and get a bite. It’s even better when those bites become big fish and it’s great when they won’t hit any of the “high tech” lures of those who look down upon the cork. Nothing like hearing a guy at the dock who is decked out in the latest high end clothes, glasses, boat, and truck tell his buddies “yeah they caught fish but they were using corks” while he puts an ice pack on his pride.

Community Christian Lions Quantity isn’t nearly as important as quality when investing in fishing equipment.

Fewer dollars equals even fewer fish CAPT. DICKIE COLBURN FISHING WEEKLY FOR THE RECORD

More often than you would think, a new client pays $500 for a day of fishing only to step in the boat with a rod and reel that he hasn’t even looked at in months. I mention the fact that it is always a new client, because those that have fished with me for years either own very good equipment or fish with mine. Here is a tip that will save you a lot of money over the years if you consider just getting a bite on the end of your string a suc-

cessful outing. Go crabbing! In the event that you really want to step out and enjoy the thrill of watching a cork twitch on the surface prior to plunging under the surge of a hungry fish, simply invest in a cane pole, a little line, a cork and a hook. I still enjoy that type of fishing, but it has its limitations. If, however, you suspect that you may already be addicted to the thrill of hunting and catching fish, purchase the best equipment that you can afford, learn to use it and take are of it. If there is a particular species of fish or technique that interests you more than another, talk to another an-

gler that knows more than you do. Quantity isn’t nearly as important as quality when investing in fishing equipment. A single modestly priced combination that best suits your needs is far more valuable than an arm load of low priced specials. e same rod that will give you an advantage when dealing with saltwater bay fish or bass is not going to be the best choice for chasing crappie and vice versa. at is also an important factor to remember when upgrading your fishing arsenal. Your second rod should be better suited to fishing lighter or heavier lures for lighter or heavier fish.You can initially cover most of your needs with a medium to medium heavy 6½ to 7 foot rod combined with a quality level wind reel. My second choice would be a medium spinning rod of the same length matched with a 2000 or 2500 series spinning reel. From that point on, most of your upgrades will be in heavier longer casting rods more specific to Carolina rigging, flipping and pitching. Depending on the size of the line you elect to load on your reel, your spinning outfit will adequately handle all other needs from Wacky worms to crappie jigs. ere are techniques that will work well with both spinning and casting gear like drop shotting and fishing jerk baits, but choice of either rod is dependent of the line size that best fits a specific technique. I don’t care to flip or pitch with six to ten pound test and you will play hell fishing a 1/32nd ounce crappie jig on 60 pound braid! As far as type of line is concerned, I have a world of confi-

dence in a quality braid, but fish a lot of mono as well when fishing both crankbaits and the light stuff. I even prefer a short mono leader when fishing saltwater plastics on braid as a loop knot is easier to tie. While the loop knot is not necessary for Carolina rigging or bouncing lizards off the bottom, it breathes life into everything from crankbaits to Swim baits. Mono or fluorocarbon, which is less flexible but more sensitive, are both better choices for fishing crank baits and jerkbaits as they are more forgiving than braid and give the fish a split second longer to take in your lure following a strike. ere are countless choices of line available and none of them are cheap.I am, however, surprised at the number of accomplished anglers that select the right line for their needs, but often by the cheapest brand. Your line is the only connection between you and your fish.A four to six hundred dollar rod and reel is worthless when your six to eight dollar line fails at the knot. Cheaper line will not only fail to step up to the plate when most needed, but is inevitably harder to cast and quicker to coil on the reel resulting in the dreaded backlash. More potentially successful fishing trips are torpedoed by cheap line and push button reels than any angler malfunction. If you want to totally frustrate a budding angler, arm them with a push button reel. Every line problem is hidden under the cover and the next cast is always an adventure. Start out with quality spinning gear and go from there. Catching is the more enjoyable part of fishing!

Riding Shotgun An Abilene district game warden was patrolling in rockmorton County when he observed a utility vehicle (UTV) driving through the center of a failed wheat ﬁeld. Upon entering the ﬁeld, the warden saw two individuals on the UTV. One of the individuals was sitting on a cooler on

the front of the UTV holding a shotgun. e warden observed the two hunters driving through the ﬁeld and shooting at birds that were ﬂushed up by the UTV. e warden made contact with the UTV and citations were issued for Hunting from a Motor Vehicle.

Pepper Your Neighbor, Get Peppered On opening day of dove season during the evening hunt, a Williamson County game warden received a complaint in the Jarrell area. e com-

plainant said a hunter was shooting across the property line and peppering their house. When the game warden arrived on scene, he was received with pellets from the hunter they were complaining about. Two game wardens jumped the fence and found the hunter, along with 30 other hunters, some found to be missing a plug, have no hunter education, no hunting license, shooting across property line and hunting over a baited ﬁeld. Game wardens spoke to the landowner who was hunting and after a short interview, he admitted he placed bait to attract the birds. Citations were issued to the hunters and landowner.

While patrolling Duval County during the South Zone season opener, game wardens contacted a landowner who said his hunters had shot 110 doves over the course of two days. e landowner became very nervous when asked to identify the location where the hunt took place. e landowner identiﬁed a caliche pit as the location of the hunt and said the hunters were already on their way back to Houston. After searching the caliche pit, large amounts of milo, scratch, and corn were located about 20 yards away. A feeder full of scratch and milo was also located in the same area. e landowner admitted this feeder had been running until two days prior to opening day. A game warden in Harris County was contacted and interviewed two of the hunters resulting in the seizure of 63 birds. e remaining 47 birds were returned to the game warden by the landowner. Civil restitution and multiple citations for Hunting Migratory Game Birds over Bait and Placing Bait to Attract Migratory Birds are pending.

Blamed The BB Gun Totin’ Kids Maverick County game wardens observed a group of dove hunters taking pictures of their doves at a roadside park. ey stopped to check the doves and found the group to be 60 doves over their limit for the weekend. e group’s explained that the two young boys with the group also shot a limit each day. After a brief conversation, the group ﬁnally admitted the boys only had a BB gun and didn’t shoot 60 birds. Cases pending.

Not Registered to Boat A Comal County game warden was following up on a boating accident which occurred on Canyon Lake involving a private boat owner and the operator of a rental boat. While inspecting the rental boat for possible damage, the game warden found it did not have a TX # assigned to it. It was then discovered that the rental company had acquired the boat some time ago and had been renting it throughout the summer under a temporary dealer tag. e game warden then inquired about numerous other rental boats which were displaying dealer tags. As it turned out a total of 13 additional rental boats were not titled or registered properly. Appropriate enforcement action was taken. e resulting boat registration transactions exceeded $25,000 in sales tax paid and $3,300 paid in late fees and interest.

Epic Quail Fail An Atascosa County game warden responded to a call about hunters that were pelleting a house on an adjacent piece of property. While walking up to the hunters, the game warden noticed a pile of bird feathers. Upon further examination, he noticed ﬁve quail carcasses and numerous dead mourning doves. ere were about twenty hunters, and of those twenty, no one would admit to having killed the quail. e game warden inspected a cooler in the bed of a truck and found the quail breasts. e owner of the truck acknowledged possessing the quail and was cited for possessing freshly killed bob white quail during closed season.

A Wardens Work is Never Done During the opening weekend of general dove season, Willacy County game wardens patrolled the county enforcing Texas hunting regulations. Game wardens made multiple contacts throughout the weekend and several violations were discovered which included: over the daily bag limit of dove, unplugged shotgun, no hunting license, no hunter safety certiﬁcation, no migratory endorsement and the possession of a threatened nongame species. One jack rabbit, one Texas indigo snake and over 80 doves were seized during the weekend. Restitution and cases pending.

How to Deal with Bitterness and Resentment Anne Peterson Christianity Today

enny was 92 years old when she died. For the 50 years I knew Jenny, she told the story over and over of a time her sister would not give her the dollar she needed for a pair of shoes. Her details made it seem like the offense had happened just days ago. She’d retold the story so many times she had memorized every tidbit. One message came through loud and clear. She would never forgive her sister for withholding that dollar from her. Like a magnet, this story pulled her back into all her hurt and injustice. Bitterness starts out small. An offense burrows its way into our hearts. We replay it in our minds, creating deep ruts that will be hard to build back up. We retell our hurts to any available listener, including each sordid detail. We enlist support, pushing us further into our resentment. We hear the offending person’s name and cringe. We decipher the offense as intentional and our offender as full of spite. We look for other reasons, both real or imagined, to dislike our villain. With each new piece of information, we

form another layer of bitterness. We fool ourselves into thinking no one will know, but anger and resentment have a way of seeping into everything. Resentment is like a beach ball we try to submerge in the water. No matter how valiant our efforts, it pops up with all its vitality, splashing everyone around. Romans 12:18 says, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” So how can we do that? How can we prevent bitterness from moving into our hearts? How can we deal with our feelings instead of letting them grow into bitterness? Know that God requires forgiveness. God knew it would not always be possible to live at peace with some people. That’s why Romans 12:18 says, “If it is possible …” But God does require that we forgive others (Ephesians 4:32). This is where the rubber meets the road. Our lack of forgiveness is why we choose to hold onto bitterness, letting it ripen into full grown resentment. While it looks like we are unable to forgive, sometimes we

need to face that we are unwilling. In the parable of the man who was forgiven a great debt (Matthew 18:24-35), we see the forgiven man immediately demands payment from someone who owes him a fraction of what he himself owed. Though he was shown mercy and grace, he was unwilling to extend it even in a small way.

of us. When we have an unforgiving spirit, our eyes are not on him; they are fixed on ourselves. Once when I’d been hurt, I told God, “Someone should pay for this.” And in his kind, loving, tender way he said to me, “I paid.”

Understand that we are to forgive because we are forgiven.

God already knows what’s going on inside of you. He knows your thoughts and he knows how the other person hurt you. He was there. We don’t have the capability in ourselves to forgive others. But God can empower us to forgive those who have hurt us (Philippians 4:13). With a blank piece of paper before you, ask God to bring to mind anyone you need to forgive. If he gives you a name or two or ten, start praying for those on your list. Pray every day until you feel God melt that resentment you’ve been holding onto. I have found it is impossible to be unforgiving toward those I am praying for. It’s not easy to start praying for them; it’s one of the hardest things I’ve done.

You can discern a person is trapped when their first response is, “You don’t understand what they did to me.” We may not understand, but Jesus Christ does. He lived a perfect life, but was beaten, mocked, spit on, and hung on a wooden cross to die a cruel death. Yet, John 3:16 says that he loved the world enough to go through this. Sometimes we mistakenly think he died only for us, but when he died, he died for the world—including whoever offended you. We are told to forgive others just as Christ forgave us. Do they deserve it? No. Do we deserve it? Again, no. But still, he hung on that cursed tree because of his love for each

But when I make that person an object of prayer, I open the door of my heart a little wider so that God can come in and breathe on my hardened heart, melting the icy resentment that is there.

Pray for those you can’t forgive.

What to Know Before Replacing Your Roof

(StatePoint) Not only does your roof need to withstand the elements over the years, it needs to look great while doing it. If it’s time to replace your roof, experts say that there are some important things to consider, particularly when it comes to the materials you select. If you’ve started the research process, you’ve likely investigated asphalt, which is by far the most popular choice of roofing material. This is because it’s lightweight; inexpensive and fast to install, and because many people believe that asphalt will help them avoid the durability problems experienced with natural alternatives like slate and real shake. Ironically, asphalt does not always stand the test of time as one might hope. Experts point out that many homeowners are left disappointed when their decision to prioritize function over form doesn’t go as planned. “Do a search for asphalt roofing, and you may see more complaints than satisfied customers,” says Michael Cobb, general manager, DaVinci Roofscapes. “These days, not all asphalt is the same, and due to some new blends in asphalt manufacturing on the market, many roofs are failing well before their warranties.”

If you’d rather not take a chance on your home roofing’s durability, and curb appeal is of importance to you, Cobb says that composite tiles can offer a cost-effective alternative to asphalt. It can also, provide a more aesthetically appealing look, stand up better to Mother Nature, and help increase the value of your home. “There’s no denying the beauty of natural slate and shake, but that beauty can be fleeting,” says Cobb. “Natural slate is susceptible to damage caused by freeze and thaw cycles, and when it comes to natural shake, rotting, cracking and curling is inevitable.” To get the look of natural materials and have it last, take a look at durable composite roofing options on the market today. For example, the Bellaforté slate and shake tiles offered by DaVinci have a long life and are low maintenance. They resist hail, impact, decay and fire, while offering the beauty of natural roofing materials. Staggered edges, color variations and dramatic shadows of the brand’s polymer shake tiles contribute to their beauty, and mimic the appearance of natural shake. One more important thing to consider is the quality of warranty that accompanies the product you select. Before replacing your roof, be sure that your new roof is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. This can save you headaches and expenses down the line. And, check with your insurance company. A new composite roof may be able to save you on homeowner insurance premiums since it is impact- and fire-resistant.

But a new roof should do more than appeal to the eye. It should protect your family, and the rest of your house, providing peace of mind for years to come.

Top Tips for Hurricane and Storm Readiness (StatePoint) June to November is known in many parts of the country as hurricane season. As a growing area of the U.S. becomes susceptible to the effects of tropical storms, tornadoes and hurricanes, it’s important to have a plan for your home and family. To help you weather storms, the experts at Freddie Mac are offering the following tips: • Your home should have an emergency supply kit stocked with water, flashlights, non-perishable food, first-aid supplies, batteries, a radio and several days’ worth of medication for every member of the family. • Create a family emergency plan and make sure everyone knows what to do and when. If you have pets, make sure that your plan accounts for them, too. • Gather and protect important household documentation, including birth certificates, passports, marriage licenses, mortgage statements, deeds, insurance policies and medical files. These, along with valuables and family mementos, should be kept protected in a safety deposit box or fire– and water–proof safe. In the event of an emergency, have a plan to move these items to higher ground where they are less likely to sustain water damage.

• Check your area’s emergency management agency to know where to go in the event of a local area evacuation. Technology can help you stay informed, as well as assist you in connecting with friends and family. With the free hurricane app from the American Red Cross, you can track weather and alert loved ones you are safe. Likewise, the free app from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) features numerous resources for preparing or dealing with a storm. To ensure these apps come in handy when they are needed most, keep your phone charged as long as your home has power. Having an external battery pack on-hand can be helpful as well, particularly if you need to evacuate. • When severe weather is in the forecast, clear your home’s outdoor areas of loose furniture, lawn debris and other loose items and store these items securely. Maintain your gutters to help protect your home from undue damage during heavy rainfall. • On of the best ways to protect your home is by preparing windows and doors for the storm ahead. Installing hurricaneimpact strength windows and applying hurricane film, which can be left on year-round, can offer your family peace of mind, particularly if you have little time to prepare.
