Southeast Texas leaders eye water projects Dave Rogers

For The Record

hink better drainage isn’t important to Southeast Texans? Orange County Commissioner Johnny Trahan and Don Carona, bossman at the OC Drainage District, held a public questions-and-answers meeting for Precinct 1 residents during World Series Game 6 featuring the Houston Astros. And about 100 homeowners showed up Tuesday night. The county judges from Jefferson, Orange, Hardin, Jasper, Newton, Liberty, Chambers and Tyler counties met last week in Beau-

mont to talk about forming a Southeast Texas Regional Waterways Authority to plan joint projects to Gothia submit to the State Water Board next year. And the Sabine River Authority has a Thursday meeting to discuss drainage projects for the Lower Sabine River. “We want to find something you could pursue, that if you did it, fewer people would get flooded,” said David Montagne, general manager of the SRA. Behind the lead of State

Rep. Dade Phelan, the 2019 Texas Legislature moved $800 million from the state’s Rainy Day Fund to the State Water Board for use in flood remediation projects. “This money is to be released Jan. 1. If we don’t have some projects ready to go, this money is going to be taken up by people from the

Brazos Valley or San Antonio,” Orange County Judge John Gothia said. “They’ve got projects that are shovel-ready to go.” The eight county judges, many mayors and waterway representatives gathered at the Southeast Texas Regional Planning Commission meeting room on Wednes-

day, Oct. 23 at the invitation of Phelan are concerned that they’re already behind folks from Austin, San Antonio and Houston in the money chase. Branick said, “Sixty-four percent of the water that comes out of Texas to the Gulf of Mexico comes out the Sabine-Neches Water-

way.” But that statistic won’t mean anything if Southeast Texas isn’t ready with proposals in 2020. “The San Antonio Regional River Authority gets $40 million a year in tax money,” Montagne said at the meetWATER PROJECTS Page 3A

County to avoid port-a-potty stink Dave Rogers

For The Record

Although Parks Director Sabrina Gray said nobody had yet raised a stink over the port-a-pottys that have become semi-permanent fixtures, they cast a spell on Tuesday’s pre-Halloween meeting of Orange County Commissioners’ Court. Turns out the county has been paying $1,000 per month for three sets of men’s, women’s and handicap accessible chemical toi-

lets since Hurricane Harvey two years ago. Commissioners accepted the suggestion of Kurt Guidry, county maintenance director, to look into replacing them with a “portable restroom facility” such as those built onto tractor trailers and used in workers’ man-camps after natural disasters or during oil-drilling booms. “So when we no longer COUNTY BUSINESS Page 3A

Hundreds of Orange County parents and children took part in the Winfree Baptist Church Fall Festival on Saturday. The Fall Festival included games, food and Trick-or Treating for the youngsters. “The event was was totally an outreach for families to re-introduce the community to Winfree Baptist Church and bring folks to Christ ,” said Vonda Chelette representing the church.

Trash dumped in historic cemetery leads to unrest Penny Leleux

For The Record

Duane Armstrong and Jim Brown are dismayed that someone dumped a pile of scrap metal and other trash in the Historic Bland Cemetery in Orange recently. “This makes no sense as the landfill is right over there on 1442,” said Brown. He noted the county landfill is currently open and free from charge to anybody that lives in Orange County due to the recent flooding from TS Imelda. “It’s a shame when you try to keep something up,” said

Armstrong. He, Brown and a few others worked for two years to clean up the cemetery after Hurricane Rita. “It was decimated,” said Brown. The pair, along with others, has looked after the family cemetery for a few years now. Before that, it really wasn’t maintained, so there would be squares mowed and other parts not. Now they have an official cemetery association, so there is a $500 one time burial charge

that covers the cost of having the cemetery mowed twice a month. “Then you have somebody that comes along and does something like this,” said Brown about the dumping situation. “We’ve had our share of incidents.” Once, somebody dumped a dog at the cemetery. It lived in the cemetery for about a year, until being adopted by the owners of a nearby business. Brown said the dog was white and they named it

Jim Brown is pictured with the scrap metal and trash someone dumped at Bland Cemetery. RECORD PHOTO: Penny LeLeux

“Ghost.” Brown said the dog protected the cemetery and kept mischief makers away. Armstrong said sometimes Ghost would lie on the concrete slab of a grave and looked like a statue. Brown said the cemetery has a Texas historical marker and is filled with the descendents of Peyton Bland and Jean Baptiste Peveto. According to Brown, six of Peveto’s sons married six of Bland’s daughters or granddaughters. Over 70 veterans are burBLAND CEMETERY Page 3A

ing. “None of our water authorities (SRA, Angelina-Neches River Authority, Trinity River Authority) are taxing entities. What we can do is bring professional hydraulic engineering.” Branick has suggested the counties establish funding for a Southeast Texas regional authority, with each county pitching in a share based on its total property values. That would lead to Jefferson County, with its huge retail and industrial base, paying the largest share. For instance, total values in Jeffer-

son County are $34.8 billion; for Orange County, they’re $5.6 billion. “All these projects are expensive,” Montagne said. “If all these [Southeast Texas] 500,000 people don’t get together, we can’t compete for this. Harris County [Houston area] has 4 million people and a $23 million bond issue already passed for drainage.” Branick said his administrative assistant, Fred Jackson, was drafting a cooperative strategy. “We’re working on an interlocal agreement, so you

need it out there, we could take it down and use it in other locations,” Guidry said. Restrooms were built into the three for-rent picnic pavilions at Claiborne West Park. The pavilions, basically covered concrete slabs built around a center fireplace, were declared unsafe and off-limits after Tropical Storm Harvey. The county’s building insurance provided $13,000 for new pavilion roofs but commissioners have been hoping that the Federal Emergency Management Administration would agree to reimburse at least 75 percent of the cost to replace the pavilions. FEMA has not responded – thumbs up or thumbs down – to the county’s request and commissioners are tired of waiting. They gave the go-ahead Tuesday to immediately use the insurance money and other county funds to proceed on two projects at the park – rebuilding the main office and the gutted-out shop building – and the rebuild of the Precinct 2 office in Mauriceville, all victims of Harvey’s 40-plus inches of rain in August 2017. Claiborne West Park staff has worked out of the shop building there since Harvey. “The shop is in horrible, horrible shape,” County Judge John Gothia said. “Over two years in and we’re paying crazy, crazy fees for port-a-potty to be out there. They have no bathroom. “Even if we end up getting the [FEMA funds], we end up paying 25 percent on that, and 25 percent is far more than it will cost us, using our own materials and labor. “We have just sat on this stuff for too long.”

can go back to your commissioners and community and get them on board,” Branick said. “Then we’d have to hire engineers, and I’m sure one of the first thing we’d do is go the Corps of Engineers.” A phone rang in the middle of the Oct. 23 meeting, which included nearly 100 people. The ring tone was fitting, something from the Blues Brothers: “We’re on a mission from God.” The consensus of the men and women at the Oct. 23 meeting was that the big group should be divided into

smaller subgroups, such as the Sabine River watershed and the Neches River watershed and the Trinity River watershed. From there, it was agreed that the first projects should be at the bottom of the waterways, meaning Hardin and Jasper counties would wait for projects in Orange and Jefferson County to be complete. “I think we’ll have a big group and we’re going to have a smaller group for the lower Sabine,” Montagne said.

various county offices along the curve that begins at Terry Estates and runs to the Convention & Expo Center. They designated the former WIC building in Vidor be used as a permanent early voting and election day voting location after the Nov. 5 constitutional amendment election. This move will increase the availability of the nearby Raymond Gould Community Center – the current voting location – for community events. Commissioners extended the county’s Tropical Storm Imelda disaster declaration another 30 days, beginning Oct. 26, at the request of Joel Ardoin, emergency management coordinator. He said, “As long as the county is continuing the debris mission, we need to continue the disaster declara-

tion.” Ardoin reported county entities had picked up a total of 27,243 cubic yards of debris already, with most – 16,435 cubic yards – coming from Vidor. “The good news, I think, is our estimate of 250,000 cubic yards will be high,” he said. Washington hasn’t approved reimbursement for Imelda debris yet. But all 13 county judges whose jurisdictions were affected by the Sept. 18-19 storm are meeting next week to put together an appeal of FEMA’s initial declination. The county fathers approved weekly bills payment of $378,128. Additionally, the county transferred $237,314 in quarterly court costs and fees to the state of Texas.

Guidry and Gray said current plans call for the county to construct two large bathroom facilities at the park, one on either side of the park road. But no timetable for it has been set. As of now, the county is still waiting to hear back from FEMA and other granting agencies on demolition and replacing the three pavilions. Guidry told commissioners waiting on governmental red tape to rebuild the Mauriceville office last used by former Precinct 2 Commissioner Barry Burton would take at least a year. But in deciding to go ahead without help from the Feds, Guidry said that, weather allowing, the office could be rebuilt in two months, once the general contractor is named. “And I will have construction bids for commissioners to approve next week,” Guidry said. Commissioner Theresa Beauchamp, who defeated Burton in 2016, has been operating out of temporary quarters since taking office Jan. 1, 2017. She is currently housed next to the county’s Veterans Service Center on FM 1442, across from the landfill. “That building needs to be in Mauriceville,” Beauchamp said. “The people out there need the presence. “And the Sheriff’s Office [substation] will be part of that building. They need the presence of law enforcement also out there.” In other business Tuesday, commissioners signed a resolution requesting that TxDOT lower the speed limit from 70 mph to 55 mph over an almost mile long section of FM 1442 in front of the

ied in Bland Cemetery dating all the way back to the Civil War. Peyton Bland fought in the Battle of San Jacinto in the Texas Revolution, which predates the Civil War, but he is not buried in the Cemetery. He died in Wharton County and was buried in an unknown grave. His son-in-law John Dobbs was the first person buried in the cemetery. Dobbs was shot in the head over a political dispute. “We have a lot of history here,” said Brown. “Believe it or not, we have over 400 graves here. We have a pretty good record of who all is buried here.” There are also several constables and lawmakers buried in the cemetery. That should give those that desecrated holy ground with trash pause to consider their actions. Those on the other side are not bound by the laws of this plane. It may be more than Orange County law enforcement looking for the perpetrators. “For me, I don’t believe in ghosts. A lot of people do and they report seeing things and taking pictures of orbs out here,” said Brown. “I’ve never looked in a paper and seen where a ghost has killed 12 people, so I’m not worried much about it, however, I’ve had reports of strange things and people walking around out here. I go to bed early so I’m not here when they’re out I guess,” Brown laughed. Those dumping trash in the cemetery should heed their actions even if they aren’t afraid of ghosts. “We are planning to get some of those game cameras to put out,” said Brown. If they get evidence of who is dumping in the cemetery it will be turned over to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department For anyone wanting more information on the Bland Cemetery, historical or otherwise, there is a Facebook page.

From The Creaux’s Nest ISIS LEADER TAKES OWN LIFE IN U.S. RAID President Trump did not give key members of congress advance notice of the raid that lead to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s death. However, Trump briefed Russia’s Putin in advance. I believe all major foreign policy decisions travels through Russia first. It sure seems that way. Trump gave a nine minute statement and should have left it at that but he then gave a 48 minute press conference where he made himself the subject of the story and mixed in a load of falsehoods. For example, he said that other presidents had tried for years to get al Baghdadi and had failed but he got him. The facts are that al Baghdadi was only 48 years old when he died. He was elevated to head of ISIS when he was 43 years old, two years under Obama and nearly three years under Trump. He either lied or had no idea how long the guy was in power. He also claimed this was the biggest kill in U.S. history. “Not even close.” Bin Laden killed over three thousand U.S. citizens in 9-11. His death will probably remain as the biggest catch ever. Trump claimed al Baghdadi “died like a coward, he spent his final moments whimpering, crying and screaming and was run down and died like a dog.” There is no way to know that and no military person on the scene will confirm it. The truth is that the terrorist leader was not gutless. Anyone who takes their own life has plenty of nerve. Al-Baghdadi was committed to not dying at the hands of Americans. I suspect the long tunnel Trump talked about was not much more than a long bomb shelter. Al Baghdadi led the Islamic state for five years. He was a feared terrorist leader. No doubt the world is better off with him dead. A fifth leader will take his place. Trump said only three weeks ago, when he announced the pull out of Syria, leaving the Kurds to be slaughtered, that there was no reason to keep troops there because he had totally destroyed ISIS. He said, “”Obama couldn’t do it but I did.” Now of course, we know, even though one of their leaders is dead, around the globe ISIS is still very much alive. I find it sad the way Trump embellished events to make himself look good instead of telling the American people the truth about what’s going on in the real world, not Trump’s world laced in egotism.*****Well, I’d best get to work. Come along, it won’t do you no harm.

Granddaughter Donna III celebrates on Nov. 1. *****Our own Mark Dunn, a trick or treater, celebrates Oct. 31. Also celebrating on Oct. 31, are Joey Campbell, Mel’s other half, and Coach Chris Moore, a former Bridge City pitcher and longtime Bridge City baseball coach, now coaching the girl’s softball team and along with coach Hunter Uzzle runs the 7th grade football program. Hunter will also coach baseball with both Landry’s, (no kin) coaches. *****A very special person, Denise Stanton, cele-

brates her 50th birthday. Hard to believe. Also on this day, her sister-in-law Pat Stanton celebrates. Nov. 3, is a special day for the Stanton’s. Our friends Harriet and David Dubose celebrates their anniversary on this day. *****Former County Commissioner/CPA John Dubose marks another year on Nov. 5. Happy birthday to all. Please see birthday list. *****Congress plans first formal vote on Trump’s impeachment investigation Thursday. The vote aims to nullify complaints from Trump and his gang. They have claimed that the closed hearing were unfair. I promise they won’t like the open process either. *****Country music has left me behind quite awhile ago. Today I don’t recognize the music or the artist. USA Today airplay chart list the Top 15. Here’s the Top 5 for example. #1: Chris Janson, “Good Vibes.”***#2: Matt Steel, “Prayed for You.***#3: Cole Swindell, “Love You Too Late.”***#4: Russell Dickerson, “Everything Little.”***#5: Brntley Gilbert and Lindsay Ell, “What Happens in a Smalltown.” I’m convinced I’ve lived through the best years of Country Music and it ain’t coming back but the great artist still live in my memory. *****Drew Brees, in his 31 to 9 win over the Cardinals Sunday, hit another NFL milestone becoming the first thrower to top 75,000 yards passing.*****I hadn’t see or talked with longtime friend Joel Beckum in a few years and by chance last week I dialed an old number out of the rolodex and he answered. For years Joel worked in Alaska and later Russia. He managed his money well and ten years ago he retired and bought a bungalow in Mauriceville that he says has never flooded. He spends time with his dog and as always, is an avid reader, history mostly. He comes to town and buys six to eight books at a time from the thrift store. He’s turned 70 and has given up the sports cars for a pickup. It’s always good to reconnect with old friends. *****Speaking of dogs, a bronze statue of George H.W. Bush’s service dog Sully, a yellow Labrador Golden Retriever will be placed at the 41st president’s library at College Station.*****When President Donald Trump was introduced in Washington at the fifth game of the World Series he was booed and shouts of “Lock him up” rang out around the stadium. I don’t like that. It’s not American. I came in this world with FDR at the wheel and he served throughout my childhood. I learned early to respect the president and the flag. I believe it will continue wherever Trump shows up that is not one of his rallies. It’s a culture he created. Disrespecting others is a Trump trait at every rally. He had his supporters shouting “Lock her up” at Hillary, a former First Lady, a dedicated U.S. Senator and the U.S. Secretary of State. That was disrespectful, now he’s getting back the hate he sowed. It’s a culture he bought to the office. *****

C’EST TOUT

Poor students at risk of losing lunch benefits Lunches are at risk for one million school children under a proposal by the President Donald Trump Administration that aims to limit low-income students access to free lunches. School administrators worry that the loss of free meals will ripple across low income children and challenge the schools that serve them. There are approximately three-million people also expected to lose their food stamps under the Trump plan. Advocates fear the cuts in food stamps will further increase hunger. A large number of kids are sitting in class hungry today. Many more will suffer when assistance is lost at home with the loss of food stamps. Unless you have been really poor, with very little to eat in the home and often are forced to go without a meal, you may not understand the hardship of a hungry child. I know; I’ve been that child. We are the world’s wealthiest nation, not a third-word country. There is no reason today why we can’t afford to feed our poor children. It’s not their fault. Society has a role to play in the lives of every disadvantaged child. *****Happy Halloween, please be careful when driving in neighborhoods, youngsters will be Trick or Treating. Gotta get out of here. Thanks for coming along. Take care and God bless.

He harbors a crush on fellow co-worker Audrey Fulquard and is berated by Mr. Mushnik daily. One day as Seymour is seeking a new mysterious plant, he finds a very mysterious unidentified plant which he calls Audrey II. The plant seems to have a craving for blood and soon begins to sing for his supper. Soon enough, Seymour feeds Audrey's sadistic dentist boyfriend to the plant and later, Mushnik for witnessing the death of Audrey's ex. Will Audrey II take over the world or will Seymour and Audrey defeat it?

No one was going to stop Elijah Gales on Homecoming night at Hooks Stadium as he led the West Orange-Stark Mustangs to a decidedly one-sided 49-12 District 10-4A Division II win over the Hardin-Jefferson Hawks. Gales, a sophomore running back, scored five touchdowns and collected 174 yards on 11 carries as he led his Mustangs to a 2-0 district mark, 5-1 overall. e winless Hawks were outgained 400 to 146 in overall offense. H-J’s best offensive performer was Sam Dickerson with 11 carries for 44 yards.

VIDOR over BAYTOWN LEE e Pirates have been playing better than a .500 team, yet they must win Friday night to attain that break-even mark. ey do it!!

SAN AUGUSTINE over DEWEYVILLE e Pirates run into another buzz-saw this week with the undefeated and state-ranked San Augustine team.

e Hawks actually led early, scoring on a 1-yard run by Westen Nugent that came as a result of a WO-S turnover. With just over 7 minutes left in the first quarter, H-J led the game 60. e Mustangs responded with a 49-yard drive, moving that distance in six plays, capped by a two-yard TD run by Gales for a 7-6 lead. e Hawks kept pace after collecting another Mustangs fumble, taking it to the end zone with 21 seconds left in the first quarter on a 1-yard run by Nugent for a 12-7 lead. On their next offensive possession, the Mustangs marched 70 yards, giving Gales another chance at a score, this one from the 3 yard line.

FOR THE RECORD

e once-beaten Bobcats should remain that way after Friday night’s game at Warren, which stands at 2-6 this season. Hopefully the ‘Cats will not look ahead to next week’s ﬁnal regular-season game at Anahuac and just take care of business in this game.

Astros forced to win World Series at home

JOE KAZMAR KAZ’S KORNER FOR THE RECORD

e 2019 World Series started off unlike most other fall classics—with the home team losing all five games. Hopefully for our Houston Astros this trend didn’t continue in last night’s Game 6. Or if it did, today’s Game 7 needs to end this strange phenomenon. e times the visitors won all five games were in 1906 and 1996. is World Series has been a wacky one from the get-go during the first five games. In the opening two games at Minute Maid Park last week the hosting Houston Astros were outscored by the Washington Nationals 17-7, losing Game One 5-4 and being completely outclasses 123 in Game Two. But when the action switched to the Nation’s Capital, everything else changed, too. With the Astros powerful one-two punch on the mound—Gerrit Cole and Justin Verlander— both hung with losses, the mound scene was focused on Houston’s No. 3 pitcher Zack Greinke and some talented arms in the bullpen. is group of hurlers limited the Nationals to single runs in all three games while the Astros found their hitting shoes and performed like they did while posting 107 wins during the regular season. None of their wins were blowouts like Game 2, but the

Astros’ pitchers did a beautiful job for those 27 innings while the offense outscored the Nats 19-3 and came home Monday leading the World Series 3 games to 2 after winning Game ree 41, Game Four 8-1 and Game Five 7-1. All three victories at Washington could be attributed to the stellar performances of Greinke, rookie Jose Urquidy and Cole plus the clutch pitching of the Houston bullpen who stopped the National’s hitters cold. Washington never led in any of the three games in the home stadium, a feat matched only by the 1949 Brooklyn Dodgers, who lost the series 4-1. With the series tied at 2-2 on Sunday and everyone hyped up over the re-match of Game One starters Cole and Max Scherzer, the pendulum quickly swung in favor of Houston when Scherzer was scratched due to stiffness in his neck. Right-hander Joe Ross was Scherzer’s replacement, finding out only three hours before game time that he was starting Game 5. Ross had a 5.48 ERA in 27 regular season appearances. He worked 64 innings and walked nearly five batters per nine innings. e big bats of the Astros put them ahead 4-0 after four innings thanks to two-run homers by Yordan Alvarez and Carlos Correa. George Springer topped the scoring when he

slugged his 15th career postseason home run—seven in the World Series—in the top of the ninth inning. Cole’s mound win Sunday could very well be the last time he pitches in an Astros’ uniform because he will most likely opt for free agency and is a member of Team (Scott) Boras, the same agent who persuaded former Houston ace Dallas Keuchel to sit out half of the 2019 season waiting for the right money. Cole is worth top dollar as a free agent and may eliminate the Astros’ attempt to keep him on their roster. But he has a chance to help Houston become a dynasty after them getting to the World Series twice in three years because of their pitching. Astros’ owner Jim Crane is still hopeful Cole will re-sign with his team. “Certainly, we’re going to keep a close eye on it, and if there’s a deal that’s reasonable, we’d certainly like to have him back,” he told the Houston Chronicle during the AL Championship Series. “I’m not saying we’re going to be able to do it,” Crane continued. “It just depends where it ends up and what he wants to do.” I think it boils down to what his greedy agent Scott Boras wants to do.

He also threw for another 140 yards, completing 10 of 24 passes on the night. McCollum scored from 58 yards out, then added another from the 42 to give LC-M a 13-0 lead. He added another TD on a 26-yard run in the third quarter, then from the 17 in the fourth quarter to up the Bears’ lead to 27-0. e Lions scored their only touchdown of the game on an 8 yard run by Cody Dupas. e Bears take on the Huﬀman Falcons at Battlin’ Bear Stadium this Friday in a battle of the undefeateds.

Every other team in the AFC South Division won their games Sunday, so Watson made sure his team kept pace, onehalf game behind the front-running Indianapolis Colts. e bad news is that three-time MVP J.J. Watt was lost for the season with a torn pectoral muscle.

From Page 1B moved to 7-1 and 4-1 with the victory. It took nearly the entire first half for the Bobcats to find the end zone with Heston Puckett taking off for a 41-yard TD run. A safety accounted for the Bobcats’ 8-0 halftime lead. Orangefield scored on its next three possessions as Chase Broussard scored from the 28, Hunter Ashworth went in from the 42, and Gunner Jones crossed from the 12 for the Cats.

MERI ELEN JACOB’S MUSTANG INSIDER

Mustangs roll in 49-12 homecoming win over HJ e weather finally cooperated Friday night so that the Mustangs could once again play on their new turf. And the boys definitely showed out as they beat the Hardin Jefferson Hawks, 49-12 in front of a small homecoming crowd. e Mustangs have not played on their own turf since September 6, due to Tropical Storm Imelda, who cancelled the Crosby game, and a lighting storm that shut down the Jasper battle, before it ever got started. Turnovers plagued the Mustangs in the first quarter, as the Hawks hit pay dirt first after a Mustang miscue around midfield early in the game. Mustang sophomore Elijah Gales answered back with his first of five touchdowns as the Mustangs were able to march down the field and punch it in from just two yards out. HJ was able to capitalize on a fumble at the 11 yard line, but both extra points were no good as the Hawks led 12-7 at the end of the first quarter. However, that would be the

last time that the Hawks saw the end zone, as the Mustangs motored on to a dominant 28-12 lead at the half. e Mustangs forced Hardin Jefferson to punt and three plays later, Gales made it to the end zone from 19 yards out. WO-S’ JaQuailon Chaney got in on the scoring as he ran 35 yards for six points. Gales scored the last touchdown on a 22 yard run. Up this week for the Mustangs are the Liberty Panthers. e Panthers (3-4, 0-2) are coming off two district lossesHamshire-Fannett, 24-36 and Silsbee, 14-38. eir wins were over Cleveland, Livingston and Huntington. Liberty runs the wing T similar to that of Hardin Jefferson. ey use two wings in brothers Terrick and BJ Peterson, who run sweeps and counters. Very rarely will they pass the ball. eir defense is young and their defensive leader is junior Jaydon Harris. BJ Peterson also starts at linebacker. Tickets for the varsity game at Liberty must be purchased at

their game the night of the game. Prices are $5 for adults and $3 for students. e combined team of the ninth and JV groups beat Hardin Jeﬀerson, 22-0. Jailen Brown caught a 33 yard touchdown pass from quarterback Dakarion Judge. Probably the most impressive play of the game was on the attempted PAT. Kicker Miguel Villeda lined up for the kick but the holder bobbled the ball. Villeda took the loose ball and as he was being tackled threw the ball up to Dyklan Spencer who snagged the ball and scored for two. Judge ran back a punt 42 yards for six more and kicker Cristan Quiteno-Polio hit the extra point. Clint Williams scored on a 40 yard run. Quiteno-Polio kicked the PAT. Oﬀensive standouts were Jacoby Breed, Isaac Medina and Judge. Defensive standouts were Cameron Broussard and Dashawn Brunson. e combined team will play Liberty at home ursday night at 6 p.m.

Roundup slot red. On occasion they are the ones pushing the bait to the surface and there is nothing quite as enjoyable as suddenly ﬁnding yourself smack in the middle of red torpedoes blowing holes in the surface. e water clarity from one end of the lake is still very good, but the chances of running into schooling reds is much better in the lower half of the lake. Once again, that could change

From Page 1B overnight following a couple of days of howling north winds. You probably can’t do much better than to tie on a Trap or spoon when ﬁshing these schools as you can cast them out of sight and easily control the depth of your lure. If it is pure excitement you are after, however, lob a topwater lure in the midst of all of that surface activity and hold on! A Super Spook with the treble hooks

replaced with single hooks is deadly and less difficult to remove when the fish is finally in the boat. Lure color is seldom a difference maker for this type fishing. e real bonus over the past couple of weeks has been a much improved flounder bite. I don’t think the Cameron run has kicked into gear, but the ship channel, south of the Causeway, as well as drains and ditches in the

main lake have been pretty productive. Most of the coveted flatfish are being caught on Gulp or small soft plastics and a lot of these fish are under the fourteen inch mark. Gary Chesson blew that program up, however, when he opted for a bone colored crankbait last Wednesday and kept two flounder over five pounds! He said that he only caught four fish while his brother caught at least a

dozen on Gulp, but most of his flounder were small. “e lure I was using only runs about three feet deep and they would hit it right after I stopped my retrieve.” We will be abiding by a two fish limit starting next month, so Gary’s approach sounds even better to me. I would also urge you to take care in releasing flounder once your two keepers are in the box.

How to check your credit Provided by Ian E. James, CRPC®, AAMS® President, Financial Advisor Capital Financial Group www.409Wealth.com 409-792-0179

Americans aged 45 to 54, who have credit card balances, carry an average debt of $9,096 per individual.1 e wise use of credit is a critical skill in today’s world. Used unwisely, however, credit can rapidly turn from a useful tool to a crippling burden. ere are several warning signs that you may be approaching credit problems: Have you used one credit card to pay off another? Have you used credit card advances to pay bills? Do you regularly use a charge card because you are short on cash? Do you charge items you might not buy if you were paying cash? Do you need to use your credit card to buy groceries? Are you reluctant to open monthly statements from creditors? Do you regularly charge more each month than you pay off? Do you write checks today on funds to be deposited tomorrow? Do you apply for new credit cards, so you can increase borrowing? Are you receiving late and over-limit credit card charges? It is important to recognize the warning signs of potential credit problems. e quicker corrective action is taken the better.

CHARLES EMPEY Guest Columnist For The Record

A man named Job, whom a God devoted a whole book to, was the example of someone who has the worst of loss in life and all in one day. In one day Job lost all of his many children, all of his employees, and all of his wealthy empire. In one day!!! Job’s response stands-out in Scripture as supremely dignified — an amazing testimony to his faith — He said in Job 1:21 “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I shall depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be

write “…may the name of the Lord be praised.” You and I possibly instead would have demonstrated bitterness, but from Job’s heart God led him to write what was placed there by Him…”may the name of the Lord be praised.” To make this tougher, Job’s wife replies that he should curse God and die. She was deeply bitter toward God about all of this, thus no consolation to Job. To make this tougher Job became covered from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet with boils. Boils! Now his health suddenly without warning became a disaster. Now literally all is lost in his physical world. The pain and stench from the boils moved Job to the trash heap of the city where he took broken pottery

cuser of the children of God had come to God and wanted Him to challenge Job’s faith to prove that faith in God is not enough to get God’s children through even the worst. Because Job, it says, was an extremely faithful man to God, Satan wanted him to fall, so told God that if He pulled the dearest things in life away from Job, that Job would disown Him. God, who knows the depth of each of His children’s faith, thus knowing what they can endure, if they are true believers, is not beyond testing it, proving to Satan and the world around us how powerful God’s saving grace really is in one’s life. God’s children, if not already doing so, can cling to Romans 8:28 in every day of life and ev-

ery circumstance, negative or otherwise. My God has seen my wife and I through many difficult circumstances. For example, we lost two sons within 18 months to sickness 4 years ago. There are other things I could share, but that is one of the toughest for us. Like many in Harvey and in this recent tropical storm, we have lost almost everything, even our two cars. It is physically and emotionally difficult to say the least, and many of you are saying amen to this. For some true believers it is spiritually daunting, as well. Just like the hard times of the days gone by through which God has brought us time and again as we stayed faithful, declaring “…the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.” (King James Bible) As Job’s faith held in the LORD, so has ours. This world has never been my home, but a place of trials. It is heaven I cherish and long for in Jesus. Charles Empey is Interim Pastor at Cove Baptist Church, Orange, TX.
