New Adult Probation construction underway Taylor Wendt

For The Record

When Hurricane Ike hit, many buildings in downtown Orange suffered much damage, and some were even completely destroyed. One of those buildings was the Adult Probation Office. After about three years, a new Adult Probation office has finally received the approval to be built and is currently under construction. The original Adult Probation office was located on west Division Street in old Orange, right across the street from the Old Orange Café. When Ike struck, the probation office flooded, collecting up to four feet of water. The flooding in old Orange

damaged more than 51 percent of the Adult Probation office. Insurance companies will not repair buildings with that percentage of damage, so the old building had to be demolished. The land that the office was on had to be raised from about four and a half to five feet, which would put it above basic flood level, in order for the insurance company and FEMA to insure a new building. “It was a terrible loss, and we had to completely tear down the building and start over,” said Nancy Haworth, director of the Adult Probation office. Where the old Adult Probation office used to sit, there is now an unoccupied concrete slab. Workers in the old office had to be relocated to the

sheriff’s department on Old 1442 when the building was destroyed. The idea for a new Adult Probation office originated

shortly after Ike destroyed the previous one. After a property swap with the Heritage House in which the probation office acquired a bigger footprint of

land within their complex, the plans for a new office became finalized. With help from a hired general contractor, the construc-

tion for the Adult Probation office started about six to seven weeks ago. The predictADULT PROBABTION PAGE 2A

office. The remaining 206 service request calls came later due to all the rain we’ve been experiencing. “We can’t have rain without the mosquito,” Patrick Beebe, director of the Orange County Mosquito Control department, told the commissioners’ court on Monday. The ground spray treatments covered a total of 131,328 acres throughout the county for the month of July. The aerial spray treatments covered 170,240 acres. “We did increase all of our spray treatments throughout the county,” Beebe said. “We’ve been scheduling two flights in the morning and one in the evening, as long as weather allows. We’ve been spraying three flights a day for almost two weeks now and we’ve increased the ground treatments.” Beebe assures the commissioners that his department is working the best they can to treat all of the affected areas in the county. Some areas are not as affected by the mosquitoes as others, but the entire county is having problems with them. The Mosquito Control office targets the most heavily affected areas first in order to keep the other less affected areas from getting a mass influx of mosquito activity. Beebe assured the commissioners they will continue working to decrease the mosquito population in all parts of the county that they are allowed to treat. Beebe also said his office has been working seven days a week to help the citizens of Orange County with this problem. The commissioners looked at a summary of the budget for 2011/2012 even though a budget workshop is scheduled for Thursday at 10 a.m. The tax revenue and sales tax is estimated to be the same as last year. The only revenue that has changed is that the county is due to receive $2.5 million from FEMA, however they may receive as little as last year. The County is seeing a revenue increase of $804,525 from last year, for a total of $40,357,610. The County estimated that COUNTY BUSINESS PAGE 2A

Burkheimer retires from ‘Community’ Community Church pastor retiring after 53 years

gan to grow rapidly. “We were just a perfect fit. Seems like we just became the place to go [to church]. The late 70s and early 80s was a time when people began to take a closer look at spiritual things, reading Christian books and looking at their lives,” said Burkheimer. He had his finger on the pulse of the Christian community, and made sure there was a solid Biblical foundation for new members. As the membership grew, so did the need for room. “For years we just grew like mad. Almost like there was nothing we could do wrong.” With growth there came new issues.

For The Record

The decision to give one’s life to serve others cannot be made lightly. It involves thinking little of one’s own desires and focuses mostly on the needs of others. For one local pastor this has been the case for over 50 years. The Rev. David Burkheimer has been the senior pastor for Community Church in Orange for 32 of those years. Under his shepherding the church has experienced tremendous growth during some of the most difficult times Orange has seen. Burkheimer recently decided to retire from the position. “It’s not really retirement,” Burkheimer explains, “it’s more like a transition. I will still be very involved and most likely in the pulpit from time to time.” He smiles, knowing that pastors cannot ever actually retire. A calling to serve is a life style. Born in Battle Creek, Mich., he graduated high school and continued to Central Bible College in Springfield, Mo. There he met his wife Melba, from Texas City. By 1958 they were both ordained ministers with the Assemblies of God, married and pastoring a church in Mission. In 1961 they held a pastorate in Comfort and Rosenberg, both in Texas. They also did two years of missions ministry in Portugal. The Burkheimers moved to Orange in 1979. “When we first moved here the church ran solid around 200 members.” Community Church originally started on Border Street with a stint on 3rd Street. When the Burkheimers arrived, the church was located on 16th Street. The church be-

Funds sought for annual picnic Penny Leleux

For The Record

An annual event since 1998, the City of Pinehurst Labor Day Picnic has been enjoyed by hundreds of Orange County citizens. Hurricane Ike caused the cancelation of the picnic in 2008, but it picked right back up in 2009. This Labor Day, Sept. 5, the picnic celebrants will gather at the Family Worship Center (old Bancroft Elementary School on 41st Street). Donations are slightly down over this time last year. Pinehurst Mayor T.W. Permenter is seeking assistance from local businesses and residents. PINEHURST PICNIC PAGE 3A

ed amount of time from the start of the project until completion was about 210 days. “It’s coming along nice, I believe, and we’re working every day that it’s not raining,” Mark Wimberly, head of the maintenance department, said. “I’m glad to have it started and hope to see a completion to get these folks back in their own office.” The new Adult Probation office is being built on the corner of Division and Border, due west of the courthouse. The office serves to manage and keep check on adult parolees and to make sure that they maintain a certain code of conduct. In the new building there will be two offices for the law library and two for the cluster court. The cluster court is a court in which Judge David Dunn travels to different counties and handles family arbitration matters. Fortunately, Orange County has not had to pay for any of this project. Between money provided from FEMA and the insurance company, the entirety of the office is paid for. According to Wimberly, Orange County should have a zero balance for this project. Construction on the new office is progressing well, and interior design decisions are starting to be made on it. Wimberly stated that Monday morning, the director was in the office making the decision to finalize furniture that would be placed in the office.

Burkheimer They added on and added service times, but were still too crowded to work at their current facility. They went before the city council to get permission to build, having three lots where they were. “We had over 500 people at that meeting, but they still told us no,” explains Burkheimer. “They actually did us a favor; though we didn’t like it at the time,” he laughs. That meant a new facility on new property. Today, that facility exists on Martin Luther King Jr. and Interstate-10. Housed is not only their Sunday morning services, but a multitude of weekly programs, as well as a fully accredited private school kindergarten-12th and a day care. The former facility operates as their youth building. “We have close to 250 teenagers there Wednesday nights. They are not all members of our church, but they are all committed to being there and belong there. It’s the place to be.” The move to a larger custom built facility led to more growth. For years the congregation could boast a population into the thousands. Just as Orange County took a hit in population after Hurricanes Rita and Ike, so did Community. “Today I would say we have about 900 active members. But they are active. It takes three months of classes to complete membership.” Walking into the building, the first thing you see is a banner of welcome. “Bringing the goodness of God to Our Community and Beyond,” is their mission statement in short. As a congregation they are active members in their community. “$300,000 goes out annually to missions. After Hurricane Ike, our members helped rebuild 95 homes. That was after they spent their time working on their homes or after their jobs, they went out and worked more. We took $100,000 in funds and divided it up among those with needs. Orange has been very good to us all these years. We have so many members that are ordained ministers that are also teachers, or employees somewhere else, that ministry isn’t their career. This is just a great church made of great people.” Though there are associate pastors or employees, Burkheimer has interacted with each member for the past 32 years. It has been a good journey

but not without loss. After performing an average of 20 funerals a year and a multitude of weddings, in December of 2004, after 46 years of marriage, his wife Melba passed away. “I’ve enjoyed Orange in every way and the open arms we have received here,” said Burkheimer. He has too much history to feed a short essay. There are stories about the school, the day care, and various moves of the spirit, including healings and miracles that have been documented. “Its really happening, we are trying to build a culture of revival. There have been healings of the blind, cancers healed, diabetes, Parkinson’s, so many healings.” “Our church is loving, forgiving and accepting. It is one of our greatest strengths. There are no ethnic, cultural or financial lines in our body.” This is a reflection of Burkheimer, of the teachings of God, the Gospel he has preached for 50 plus years. He is living proof that Biblical principals work. A lifetime of service has earned the ability to have some choices. But his mind will never be far from the work of the Lord that is going on at the church that bears his fingerprints. As for the future of the church, Burkheimer expects services will become a little more contemporary. “For the first time it’s cool to worship God,” said Burkheimer. “Community deserves a younger pastor.” He assures he is not retiring. “I just won’t be getting paid,” he laughs. “I will probably be doing more hands-on missions. This is my home. Of course, if I was supposed to leave I would.” Current associate pastor, Daniel Rose is the most likely choice for replacement. As of press time that decision has not been released. Burkheimer will enjoy spending more time with his two daughters and his grandchildren. He has also remarried and will spend time doing things he has waited to do.

the operating expenses for 2011/2012 would be $40,272,810 with payroll costing $23,892,674 (roughly 59 percent of the expenses), and all other expenses costing $16,105,136 (an increase of $52,434). That leaves a difference of $84,800. The total budget for this upcoming year will increase by one percent, $463,641. The effective tax rate was not available when the budget summary was prepared. The National Association of Counties (NACo) contacted the County Judge, Carl Thibodeaux, about a program where they’ll produce videos promoting the county for economic development purposes. They then take those videos and put them on the county’s website at no cost to the county. The NACo will seek local businesses to sponsor these videos. The commissioners approved of the agreement between NACo and Orange County. Other business The commissioners approved the payment of bills for the week which total $201,036.46 including $2,300 to Memorial Funeral Home from the general fund for indigent funeral expenses, two cases–$1,150 to Claybar Funeral Home and $1,150 to Dorman Funeral Home; and $39.78 to Regina Chargois from the general fund for county travel during July. The commissioners adopted a special budget with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for tobacco compliance and enforcement for activities in Orange County. This was a grant of $4,500 that the Orange County Sheriff’s Department applied for to help with enforcing the tobacco laws in the county. The commissioners also adopted a special budget with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for supplies and materials for diabetes. Paula Tacker, County Extension Agent-Family and Consumer Sciences, applied for this $2,500 grant and the county acted as a pass-through. The purchase of LT210 Pro GSM/GPS ($4,673) for the Sheriff’s Department was approved by the commissioners. This is surveillance equipment that is being purchased out of their drug forfeiture funds. “It will be four to six weeks [before we’ll get it] and it will greatly enhance our ability to do a lot of the things that we do,” Sheriff Keith Merritt said. “It’s familiar with all of the surrounding agencies and all the cities. It’s the same equipment that everyone’s using and it will benefit everybody.”

“Every year we send out letters to the people in Pinehurst–the citizens, the commercial people and a few of the seniors that put out money to help us,” said Permenter. “We just do this every year to help the city not have to be out any extra money to [sponsor the picnic]. “We’re probably $500 short from where we were last year. We have money to cover it, we just want to keep that little surplus on hand. We have to pay for the band, pay for the drinks, those kind of things. It just costs a lot of money to rent the tables and chairs and all that kind of stuff,” said Permenter. “We’re doing well, but we can always do more. The more we have, the more we can do. “Anybody that wants to donate, we’re more than glad to [accept it.] They can make either a monetary donation or a door prize. Their names will be put out into the public of those donations.” Britt Godwin and his band will be back this year to entertain the crowd. People start gathering around 9:30 a.m. according to Permenter. They start serving food at 10:30 a.m. “As soon as all the food is served and everybody is finished eating, we will start drawing door prizes.” Only seniors, 60 years and older, are eligible for door prizes. Everyone is welcome to the picnic. “Come on down and have a good time with us,” said Permenter For more information, or to make a financial or prize donation for this year’s event, call Pinehurst City Hall at 409-886-3873. It takes about $5,000 to host each event. Pinehurst was incorporated as a city on Nov. 19, 1955, according to the city’s Web site. The name Pinehurst came from Pinehurst Ranch, owned by businessman Edgar Brown Jr. on the town’s west side; and because of the growing pine trees in the area. At the time of incorporation, the city had about 600 residents and several small businesses. The current population is 2,199, according to the 2010 census; and businesses increased dramatically along the major thoroughfares of MacArthur and Strickland Drive. Described as a mix of Southern charm, Cajun culture and the Old West, the city is represented by the Greater Orange Area Chamber and is a member of the Orange County Economic Development Corp.

From the Creaux’s Nest DEFAULT AVERTED I about said it all last week and it played out the way I said it would. The Tea Party, that Rush Limbaugh said he was damn proud of, threw roadblocks and was the albatross around speaker Boehner’s neck like I had predicted. The one thing about the Tea Party that I’ve never heard was ideas on how they would jump in and help advance the economy and jobs. Everyone is upset; Liberal Democrats are angry because they believe President Obama gave too much, some GOP defense hawks are grumbling about Pentagon cuts and Tea Partiers said cuts, especially entitlements, Social Security, Medicare and Medicade were not cut enough. Boehner saw 66 defections from his Party. He had to rely on Democrats to pass the deal and save the country from default. I don’t believe ordinary citizens fully realize the crisis we faced. I don’t know who the party winners and losers are but I do know the country wins by avoiding default. Believe me, it would have been bad. The President threw himself in the fire to avoid harm to the country but he lives to fight another day. I was somewhat surprised that Rep. Ted Poe voted “NO” and Rep. Kevin Brady voted “Yes” to raise the debt ceiling. They usually vote joined at the hip. In Texas 24 congressmen voted “Yes,” (18 R and six D), eight voted “NO” three Demo’s and five Republicans. It was an unnecessary, time consuming fight that should have been spent on fixing our economy. The big problem is the way states are gerry mandering districts. Some day the courts will have to do something about that. Selective districts led to Boehner’s Tea Party problems. His members don’t fear getting defeated in their locked in districts. All of our districts in Texas for state and national office are gerrymandered. Redistricting lines that assure that one party stays in power. Now congress is taking a five-week break. Some will be spinning their lines in their districts, others will go to far away islands, none working on jobs or the economy.***** I’ve got to move on, come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm. OUR COUNTY GOVERNMENT BETTER THAN MOST When you look around the state at the problems so many county governments are facing it should give us all renewed confidence in the great job our Commissioner’s Court is doing. Many counties are facing massive layoffs, others are bankrupt, and some doing away with security, reducing sheriff department personnel, eliminating constable and courts working on a part time basis plus other cost cutting measures besides raising taxes. Orange County continues to operate on a sound footing without raising taxes. The proposed 2011-2012 budget will not have any reductions in employees and a safe reserve fund. We have a Commissioner’s Court that is conservative, efficient and one of the state’s best. County employees and our elected officials do a good job and care about the job they are charged with doing. That should make us all proud to be Orange Countains. HE SUCCESSFULLY DID GOD’S WORK What a guy, what a run he’s had. The Rev. David Berkheimer is one of our most respected people. His work for the Lord is unquestionable, the distance he has brought Community Church is an amazing accomplishment. He has pastored a congregation from a medium size Assembly of God Church to one of the area’s largest. From facilities on 16th St. in Orange, to a first class complex that includes a growing school on M.L.K. This was accomplished through the Rev. Berkheimer’s leadership and the great staff he assembled. It was a surprise to me when he announced he and Ms. Valerie’s retirement. The Church was left in the very capable hands of Pastor Daniel Rose who shares the values and goals set by Berkheimer and the governing board. Rose is expected to be named his successor but had not been released by press time. We wish continued success to Rev. Berkheimer and we extend thanks on behalf of a grateful congregation and community.

Trina Grimes Scott visited the governor while he served his eight years in the joint. Gov. Edwards says, “The prison was in love with Trina, they used to watch her walk across the parking lot. The boys made me the camp hero.” When asked why such a beautiful, young woman would marry him the governor answered, “People who don’t know me don’t know what a wonderful, pleasant, modest fellow I am.” Edwin, haunted by the Feds for years, after three attempts was convicted of bribery and extortion. He took the time dealt him, served eight years like a man and never complained. He might find serving a 32-year-old tougher than the jail time. Don’t forget Edwin; call the doctor after four hours. *****Pinehurst will host its annual Labor Day Senior Citizen outing. It’s a great thing they do.

Throughout his career, he worked in chemical plants in Akron, Ohio; Institute, W.Va., and Orange retiring from Bayer in 1998. After retirement, Dennis had time to work on his various hobbies, including reading, writing, cooking, art, photography, genealogy, and history. His passion for photography led him to build a dark room at home where he developed his own photographs. He shared his eye for art and photography with his grandchildren. Dennis enjoyed sharing his love of reading, especially of philosophical ideas with his children and grandchildren, causing some heated discussions! Most people who knew Dennis knew certain things about him. Things like he loved a good joke---or even a bad one! Dennis enjoyed cooking for his family. His homemade bread, chocolate cake, sweet sauce meatloaf and many other dishes made the family flock to the table. Dennis was a strong, caring man who wasn’t afraid of much. One of the things he wasn’t afraid of was speaking his mind. Although he cared about others, he never hesitated to offer anyone his opinion, whether they liked it or not; however, he was willing to listen when opinions were different from his own. Dennis was preceded in death by his parents and his son-inlaw, Matthew Rivette. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Mary Montgomery; his children: Denise Moody of Orange, David Montgomery and wife,Lea, of Magnolia, Brian Montgomery of Round Rock; Susan Rivette of Orange, Kristan McBride and husband, Norman, of Longview; and his grandchildren: Katrina Rivette, Nicole Moody, Brittany and Branden Montgomery, and Kirsten, Nathan, and Andrew McBride. The family wishes to thank all those who offered prayers for Dennis and to the many caring staff persons at Harbor Hospital. If desired, donations may be made in Dennis’ memory to the Bridge City Public Library Building Fund. We already miss you Popi. The world has lost a funny, strong, wise and caring man.

They can help reduce cholesterol and also help fill a person without a lot of fatty meats or other ingredients. Beans are another

I wanted to share these two recipes with you. The relish adds a little extra ump to your foods, for instance I love this relish on my black eyed peas or purple hull peas, cabbage or hot dogs and much more. It is really quite easy. Just throw it all in a food processor and blend it up. You do not have to take the seeds out of the peppers. That can surely take your breath away. If you do not want it so hot add 20 peppers instead of 36, it will still taste great. The jelly is so wonderful too. It’s great on top of cream cheese alone. I always have some on hand for my cooking classes. For those unexpected guest that come

you will always be ready too, just add crackers and cream cheese and of course lots of Love. Happy eating!

There are certain components of Latin cooking that can be advantageous to those watching their weight or making dietary changes for another reason. Here are just some of the ingredients to consider. Quinoa: Quinoa is a grain that offers substantial protein and essential amino acids. Because of the protein it packs, it is a good option for vegetarians. Chiles: The capsaicin in chiles that give the peppers their hot bite can help reduce inflammation in the body. The peppers are also another good source of vitamin C. Papaya: This fruit is a healthy addition to any fruit salads or as a side dish to meat and fish. Papaya contains potassium, folic acid and more vitamin C than some fruits more commonly associated with vitamin C, including oranges. Avocado: Avocados are found in dips and toppings for many Latin-inspired foods. Although many people shy away from the fruit because of its high content of fat, avocados are excellent sources of good monounsaturated fats that help lower cholesterol. When enjoyed in moderation, it can be a good component for cholesterol health. Pumpkin seeds: These seeds contain phytosterols that help promote healthy immune systems as well as pro-

good component for vegetarian diners. Cilantro: That spicy punch in salsas and other Latin dishes may not be from peppers but from cilantro. This herb is often mistaken for parsley in a dish, but one bite will tell otherwise. Cilantro is the leafy part of a coriander plant and is a good source of antioxidants. It can be a flavorful addition to foods instead of adding calories through other ingredients. Plantains: Similar in appearance to bananas, plantains contain similar nutritional content as well. They are high in vitamin A, potassium and fiber. But they should be eaten in moderation because they can be high in fat. Seafood: Many Latin dishes feature seafood, which tends to be high in good forms of essential fatty acids, especially oily fish like salmon, tuna and snapper. Coconut milk: Coconut milk has a number of benefits, including being a rich source of manganese, which may help with glucose intolerance. It is rich in calcium and phosphorus, essential nutrients for strengthening bones. Coconuts also may help reduce anemia by offering the body substantial iron. Enjoying a Latin-inspired meal may not just be a tasty experience, but it can be a healthy one as well.

O.C.A.R.C. Fishing Tournament Saturday

KAZ’S KORNER JOE KAZMAR FOR THE RECORD

COLBURN-FISHING CAPT. DICKIE COLBURN FOR THE RECORD

I was on the way to church Sunday morning when I noticed the O.C.A.R.C. fishing tournament signs strategically planted along my route. Currently on a run of 23 successful years, the signs now serve only to remind local anglers and fans of the actual date. Many of them have been fishing the tournament since its inception and they will be there once again this Saturday…. signs or no signs! You know that your tournament has attained star status in the community when folks are discussing where they are going to sit to watch the weigh-in a week in advance. “I heard John did away with the gar category this year and we have always set up our lawn chairs right by the scales so that we could see everything,” stated the woman blocking my access to the cereal aisle in the grocery store Monday evening. “I guess we’ll just have to get there early and beat Tom and Elaine to the shade tree next to the stage.” The weigh-in site has changed over the years, but the core spectator group has not…. in fact, it has only expanded regardless of the site. Everyone seemingly knows everyone and while winning one of the eleven categories and a check is a primary reason for fishing any tournament, it’s more about visiting with old friends and supporting the work of the Center.

Thanks to the crafty trading of the front offices of both the Philadelphia Phillies and the Philadelphia Eagles, it seems a lead-pipe cinch that both of those sports franchises will go a long way in the major league baseball and National Football League’s post-season playoffs. The Phillies, who already are considered the best team in the major leagues with their .636 winning percentage through Sunday’s games, got even better before the trading deadline passed at the midnight hour Sunday night.

High heat does not stop Texas football

H Community Christian Lions, six man

It takes more than 107 degrees (41 Celsius) to stop a true tradition in Texas, as high school students jogged onto rock solid fields due to 10 months of drought to mark the start of football practice. Intense heat to begin two-a-day practices is not unusual in Texas, but this week’s record breaking temperatures will test even the toughest player, as well as coaches, cheerleaders, and marching band members. In Texas, high school football is nearly a religion, highlighted by a television drama series “Friday Night Lights” that follows the lives of a Texas high school football team and its entourage. The key to survival in the heat is water, and plenty of it, according to veteran San Antonio high school athletic trainer Paul ‘Doc’ Rost. “Basically right now we have hydration stations set out where a kid can go at any time and get a drink,” Rost said. “I tell ‘em, if you’re thirsty when you get out here, you’re dehydrated already.” Head Coach Paul Johnson at Dallas Madison High School made sure enough water was available. “We’re going to keep a lot of water, we have water stations down here. We have water stations up there, plenty of shade, so kids can go whenever they get ready,” he said. Many Texas high schools are starting morning practice at seven and running afternoon practice from six to dark, to avoid the punishing heat of the afternoon. Football leads to more non-fatal, heat-related emergency room visits than any other activity in the United States, according to a report issued last week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A study of 66 hospitals from 2001-2009 found that nearly onefourth of all emergency rooms visits for a heat illness were attributed to football. For males between the ages of 15-19, football was linked to 57 percent of the non-fatal emergency room visits for heat illnesses, the study said. In Texas, last month was the hottest July in many places in Texas since records began, according to the National Weather Service.

From that point on it is an afternoon celebration as Moms and Dads and Grandmas and Grandpas proudly snap photographs of their children and grandbabies with everything from a four ounce croaker to the largest trout in tow. There will be an even larger group of amateur photographers crowding the stage this year with the addition of the sunfish category. The fish

may be small, but the thrill of climbing those stairs and having Mr. Joe introduce you to the crowd has absolutely nothing to do with the size of the fish. If this is your first O.C.A.R.C. tournament bring more than one lawn chair and make sure the battery is charged on your camera! We won’t know the winners in each category until Saturday evening, but Thomas announced this year’s winner of the coveted Don and Evelyn Garrett award earlier this week. The popular annual fund raiser very well may not even exist had it not been for their support and the Center

off the lower end of the Sabine or Neches. You just never know about the white perch category, but the rains of late should help with that bite as the high salinity levels well up the river had scattered them. There is a good chance that the winning fish will come out of one of the logging cuts off the river. Catching the winning redfish is dealer’s choice.I think the marsh would be a good place to start, but we are catching redfish up to 27-inches all the way from the I-10 Bridge to the jetties. More often than not the winning redfish is won by anglers chasing trout in the lake. The big trout have been elusive this year, but if I were looking for only one fish I would take my chances in the ship channel or the ICW fishing with live mullet. I think the winning flounder will come out of the same areas with the same choice of baits. If you are very lucky you could catch the winning trout on a topwater behind one of the islands right at daylight. The best bet for fooling the largest bass may be to talk with some of the fellows that have been fishing the Neches and Taylor’s bayou lately. I saw two pictures of bass over five pounds last week and I haven’t heard of anything close to that coming off the Sabine lately. There is talk that fishing at night is the secret around the Sabine area right now, but you may need a blood transfusion by midnight! I might just get John Thomas to set my lawn chair up tomorrow. See ya at the weigh-in.

honors a group or individual that makes significant behind the scenes contributions in their name each year. The Orange Boat Club is this year’s winner! So, what do you do if catching a fish and winning some money is one of the reasons you are fishing this year’s tournament? It gets a little tougher considering the fact that you have to fish only public waters within a 40 mile radius of the weigh-in site. Eliminating both Toledo Bend and Rayburn, however, basically only affects the white perch and bass categories. The addition of the sunfish division will surely extend the weigh-in line as they are not only easy to catch, but can be found anywhere there is fresh water. The black drum was also added to the list for the first time this year, but winning that category may require a little more work. I would think that any angler fishing the ship channel with cracked crab or live mullet would have a distinct advantage. There is a very good chance that we will see the largest croaker weighed in that we have seen in years. We have already caught croaker up to two pounds fishing plastics under balls of shad in Sabine Lake, but once again I give the edge to the bait fishermen. Fresh shrimp fished on the bottom would be my choice and I think someone fishing the river has just as good a chance as the lake fishermen right now. The largest grinnel is usually the bi-product of someone fishing for bass in the backwater off the river, but cat fishermen are in the hunt as well. Depending on the weather conditions for the weekend, we could also see some huge catfish. I don’t fish for them, but I can assure you that no one shares their secrets when it comes to catching catfish. The winning fish should come

During the summer months it pays to sweat the details OUTDOORS-WEEKLY CAPT. CHUCK UZZLE FOR THE RECORD

In a ritual that is repeated on just about a daily basis during the summer months I slowed my Skeeter down to a stop, shut off the big motor, grabbed the castnet and began to troll up to the Dupont outfall canal in search of live bait. My clients sat down on the cooler to enjoy some breakfast while took care of the business of securing bait for our day on the water. As we reached the mouth of the outfall canal another boat with three anglers aboard passed in front of us while still using their big engine. The guy on the front was throwing the castnet like there was no tomorrow and the driver continually shifted from forward to reverse. Upon seeing this I turned my boat away from the area and began throwing the castnet along the main bank. The farther I got away from the other boat the better luck I had at finding both shad and finger mullet. In just minutes we had plenty of frisky kicking bait while the other boat continued to struggle. In fact by the time the other boat finally packed up and left my clients and I had already been fishing for nearly 20 minutes and had already caught a nice redfish and two undersized flounder. “How come that guy couldn’t catch any bait ?” asked one of the anglers on my boat, “they left the big motor running and that spooks the baitfish, if they would have turned the big motor off and used the trolling motor they would have had much better luck” I told them. During this time of the year when it seems that everyone is fishing the same pattern it pays big dividends to worry about the details. The Dupont outfall is probably the most popular place around to catch live bait and it can get crowded at times to say the least. Experienced anglers know that when the boat traffic

is high the shad will be skittish so they try to use a quiet approach. Not only will the quiet approach catch you more bait, it will also help your neighbor catch more as well. A little bit of the golden rule goes a long way. Once you have secured your live bait another big problem is keeping it alive. The biggest problem I see happening is that most folks try to keep too many shad or mullet in a livewell. How many days can you remember dumping out dozens of dead shad at the end of the day? By keeping a couple of dozen instead of a couple of hundred you can make your bait last much longer, even during the heat of summer. Another helpful idea is to feeze a couple of plasic drink bottles full of water and adding them to your livewell in order to help keep the water cool. The bottles are easy to come by and will last much longer than just adding chunks of ice to the water. The cooler water temperature along with fewer shad in the livewell will keep your bait alive much longer. Another little tip concerning live bait that will help you this summer, be aware of the kind of bait you catch. There are two or three different species of shad that can be caught during this time of year. Some do much better in freshwater than they do in saltwater. The threadfin shad is one that does not hold up well in saltwater compared to other species. If you think you may head to the south end of the lake or maybe the jetties then the threadfin is not one you want to keep. Now if you think you may be fishing the north end of Sabine or the either of the two rivers then threadfin will do fine. Keep in mind that during this time of the year an angler who pays attention to the details will often be more successful than most. Catching live bait and keeping it alive does not have to be a battle as long as you have game plan.

Kaz: Recent trades .300 hitter, second baseman Jeff Keppinger to the San Francisco Giants. There was quite a bidding war for Pence with the likes of the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Atlanta Braves and San Francisco Giants all vying for his services. But Wade opted for the package presented by his former team and in the middle of Friday night’s game at Milwaukee Pence came in from his right field position and told he no longer was a Houston Astro, but now a member of the Philadelphia Phillies. Now instead of having to try to win ball games by himself like he was forced to do as a member of the star-less Astros, he will be surrounded with major league sluggers like Ryan Howard, Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino and Chase Utley. Pence joins former Astro teammates, relief pitcher Brad Lidge and starting pitcher Roy Oswalt, both of whom were traded to the Phillies by Wade. The player with the most potential the Astros got in the trades from Philadelphia was Michael Bourn, who coincidentally was traded during Sunday’s game to the Atlanta Braves. Not to be outdone, while the 4 ½-month lockout was in effect, the Eagles’ front office was working up a wish-list of players on the trading block and in the free-agent marketplace and hit the jackpot by landing cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, who was at the top of every team’s list. Eagles’ General Manager Howie Roseman and President Joe Banner presented Asomugha a deal he couldn’t refuse. He will be paid $60 million over five years, with $25 million guaranteed. Asomugha, who was considered the top free agent on the market, spent his first eight seasons with the Oakland Raiders. He had a career-high eight interceptions in 2006, went to the Pro Bowl after the 2008, 2009 and 2010 seasons and was named a first-team All-Pro in 2008 and 2010. “He’s one of the best—if not the best—cornerback in the National Football League,” commented Philadelphia head coach Andy Reid. “He’ll be a great addition to our cornerback corps. Right now. “Howie and Joe worked their tail off and put together a phenomenal plan,” Reid pointed out. “They came out of the gates like wild men and attacked the issue. They’ve rewarded our football team and the city with some great players.” In addition to the Asomugha deal, the Eagles also announced a one-year deal for quarterback Vince Young, a 2006 first-round pick of the Tennessee Titans. Young, who went 30-2 as a starter at Texas and led the Longhorns to a national championship but had an up-and-down tenure with the Titans, will back up Eagles starter Michael Vick. A day earlier, the Eagles acquired Pro Bowl cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie from the Arizona Cardinals, giving the Eagles three Pro Bowl cornerbacks on their 2011 roster—Asomugha, Rodgers-Cromartie and veteran Eagle Asante Samuel. Dallas Cowboys’ Idiot Owner Jerry Jones was on his phone throughout practice Friday pursuing Asomugha. He figured he had the best chance of landing the free agent because he played for Cowboys’ new defensive coordinator Bob Ryan in Oakland.

Of course Asomugha spent eight years playing for a headline-hungry ego-maniac of an owner in Oakland’s Al Davis, so why would he want to jump out of the frying pan and into the fire with the same kind of owner in Ol’ Jethro? It appears as if major league baseball’s best team-- the Philadelphia Phillies—really helped themselves before the trading deadline ended Sunday, while the Philadelphia Eagles strengthened an already-good football team with some great acquisitions from the free-agent marketplace. Don’t be surprised if the City of Brotherly Love boasts both the World Series and Super Bowl championships once the dust has settled and the snow is blowing. KWICKIES…Wide receiver Randy Moss, who once boasted “I play when I want to play,” has retired from the NFL again after 13 seasons. He must have wanted to play during the 2007 season when he set a single-season record with 23 touchdown catches. Look for him to “un-retire” again as soon as training camp ends. The Houston Texans hit the practice field for the first time Monday full of optimism after acquiring cornerback Johnathan Joseph from the Cincinnati Bengals and safety Danieal Manning from the Chicago Bears and signing their No. 1 draft pick J.J. Watt. However, they were unable to re-sign fullback Vonta Leach who inked a three-year, $11 million contract with the Baltimore Ravens. Although the head coach (Cornel Thompson) is different, everything else during this first week of football practice is the same for the West Orange-Stark Mustangs, like the Mustang Mile, racing up the “Concrete Mountain” (the steps at Dan R. Hooks Stadium) and the two-a-days. But when Zero Week rolls around, the ‘Stangs will be one of the best-conditioned teams in Southeast Texas. And the guys who should know best, the head football coaches in the Southland Conference, tabbed our McNeese State Cowboys as favorites to win the SLC championship this fall. Last but not least, Tiger Woods returns to the PGA Tour for the start of the Bridgestone Invitational tomorrow at Firestone after going more than 20 months without winning a tournament. He re-emerges without a wife, caddy or an idea whether his left leg is fully healed. The only endorsement deal remaining for Tiger since he returned from his infamous sex scandal is with a Japanese company to promote a heat rub. JUST BETWEEN US…The three trades in the last two weeks that sent away Jeff Keppinger, Hunter Pence and Michael Bourn for a total of 10 players have made our Houston Astros much younger, cheaper and clearly worse for the new ownership that will take over soon. The haul included seven pitchers, who will all be at Class AA or AAA, outfielder Jordan Schaefer, who is on the disabled list with a broken finger and is a .223 lifetime hitter as a major leaguer, Class A first baseman Jonathan Singleton and a player to be named. In addition, the Astros shipped starting first baseman Brett Wallace and third baseman Chris Johnson to AAA Oklahoma City after they became automatic outs on the recent 10-day road trip. Consequently, catcher Humberto Quintero and Carlos Lee are the only position players left who started on opening day as the Astros see how quickly they can hit the 100-loss plateau.

City of Refuge has ambitious plan for new building Mike Louviere For The Record Bro. Burt Stigen is a man with a vision. Stigen wants to take care of homeless veterans and provide them with the best living conditions possible. Guided by the scripture “Whatever you do for the least of my brethren, you also do for me,” Stigen took his retirement and bought the old Shady Rest Motel property located on old Highway 90 east of Vinton, La. and turned it into a shelter for homeless veterans. The original motel rooms were used until they began to fall in disrepair. Stigen has raised money through private sources to replace the motel with log cabin type facilities that sleep up to four vets. The number of residents changes as new ones come in and those already there find a job or some other way to be

self sufficient and move away. The problem of living quarters is being well handled, but there is another problem looming on the horizon. The administration building that houses the office, kitchen, dining area, and chapel is nearly 70 years old and needs to be replaced. Stigen has formed a core group to study the options and costs for replacing the leaky old building. Saturday, July 30, the group met for the first time. The floor plan of a building 40 x 100 feet to replace the current 31 x 67 foot building was shown to the group. The new building will be steel framed and built to the standards required to withstand hurricane force winds. Half of the floor space will be dedicated to the dining area which can also be used for other purposes if needed. There will be kitchen space, pantry, mechanical room, and

the office. The cost for the slab and building will approach $100,000. Representatives of the Stark ’64, Veterans Group, American Legion Post 49, Volunteer Christian Builders and interested individuals were present at the meeting. There were pledges of volunteer labor to do anything that needs to be done in the construction of the building. “There is going to have to be a lot of praying and faith to do this project. There have been some businesses that have pledged to give us some discounts on costs of materials. We have a good start, we need to go to work and make important decisions and start to raise the needed money,” said Stigen. “We rely on God to provide our needs. We are a faith based organization. We do not take any kind of government monies. Things are going to work for us according to God’s plan on His time.” Larry McCabe, who teaches Sunday School at the COR, is a member of the Volunteer Christian Builders, has been gathering costs for the building, said that when the building is erected that the Builders can come in and frame the inside of the building in one week. McCabe has also accepted the donation of a number of folding chairs and

plumbing fixtures from Old First Orange Baptist Church. Jerry Gatch of the Stark ’64 Veterans Group has his group working on the fundraising part of the project. Gatch is working up a brochure to show the current facilities and the project to be undertaken. Ben Ivey, who works with Gatch and the Stark Vets, worked up the floor plan and is working with a local building supply company on material costs. Ivey’s father-in-law, Lee LeBlanc, is a master cement finisher and is the major consultant on what needs to be done with the slab and other concrete work. The next meeting of the core group is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 13, at 9 a.m. The meeting will be held in the administration building at the COR. “We invite anyone who may be interested in helping us with this project to attend any of our meetings at any time. We need your prayers and we need your input and help. We have a big project and we need a lot of support,” said Stigen. The major item to be discussed at the next meeting will be the placement of the new building. One possible location is to the rear of the current building. The COR is located on the extreme east end of the old

Entergy Texas Representatives Seek Sustained Funding To Help Low-Income Customers in Need Pay Energy Costs Staff Report

For The Record

Two key Entergy Texas, Inc. management employees are in Washington, D.C., this week to ask Congress to reject proposed cuts to a federal program that helps the poor pay energy costs, arguing the move could reduce assistance to tens of thousands of families in Texas by nearly $140 million. Vernon Pierce, customer

service director for Entergy Texas, and Pam Williams, customer operations support manager, will be among advocates from across the country participating in the Tuesday, Aug. 2 National Fuel Funds Network’s Washington Action Day for Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. The two have joined other Entergy representatives as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to help low-income customers. LIHEAP is America’s primary tool to help pay energy costs for the elderly, the disabled and working-poor families with young children. Current budget proposals call for cutting LIHEAP funding in half, from the current $5.1 billion to $2.5 billion. “LIHEAP is such an important program for our friends and neighbors who are truly in need,” Pierce said. “We understand Congress must address deficit spending, but our

elected leaders also must understand the growing need for assistance being seen by our community partners.” More than 400,000 people were added to the official poverty rolls between 2008 and 2009 in the four states served by Entergy utilities. In addition, pressure on the working poor continues to grow with the cost of energy, food and gasoline rising faster than wages. More than 400,000 people were added to the official poverty rolls between 2008 and 2009 in the four states served by Entergy utilities. In addition, pressure on the working poor continues to grow with the cost of energy, food and gasoline rising faster than wages. “The recession may be over in the minds of some economists, but it’s still going strong for those living paycheck to paycheck. This is not the time to cut the safety net for people

struggling to survive,” Pierce added. “We’re asking Congress to set aside $5.1 billion for LIHEAP this fiscal year. If we don’t keep funding at least level with last year, tens of thousands of families will be left without help or forced to choose between buying food and medicine or paying their utility bills. “If LIHEAP funding is roughly cut in half as proposed, it will translate into funding cuts of as much as three-fourths for Texas and some two-thirds or more for states like Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. The cuts are disproportionate for a region with the nation’s highest poverty rate. It’s a combined loss of $250 million for the four states.” Entergy Texas, Inc. provides electricity to more than 400,000 customers in 27 counties. It is a subsidiary of Entergy Corporation. Entergy is an integrated energy company engaged primarily in electric power production and retail distribution operations. Entergy owns and operates power plants with approximately 30,000 megawatts of electric generating capacity, and it is the second-largest nuclear generator in the United States. Entergy delivers electricity to 2.7 million utility customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.

U.S. to honor Purple Heart recipients on Aug. 7 Darla Daigle

For The Record

August 7 is annually recognized as Military Order of the Purple Heart Day. On this date in 1782, this medal, which is the oldest American military decoration for military merit, was created by George Washington. It was orginally called the “Badge of Military Merit.” A decoration consisting of a purple, heart-shaped piece of silk, edged with a narrow binding of silver, with the word Merit stitched across the face in silver. The badge was to be presented to soldiers for “any singularly meritorious action” and permitted its wearer to pass guards and sentinels without challenge. The honoree’s name and regiment were also to be inscribed in a “Book of Merit.” Through the years of battles and soldiers this medal has undergone various changes. It is still one of the highest medal of military honor to be given and it is the one medal no soldier wants to earn for it is awarded to members of the U.S. armed forces who have been killed or wounded in action against an enemy. It is also awarded to soldiers who have suffered maltreatment as prisoners of war. The decoration was largely forgotten until 1927, when General Charles P. Summerall, the U.S. Army chief of staff, sent an unsuccessful draft bill to Congress to “revive the Badge of Military Merit.” In 1931, Summerall’s successor, General Douglas MacArthur, took up the cause, hoping to reinstate the medal in time for the bicentennial of George Washington’s birth. On Feb. 22, 1932, Washington’s 200th birthday, the U.S. War Department announced the creation of the “Order of the Purple Heart.” At this time the design was changed. In addition to aspects of Washington’s original design, the new Purple Heart also displays a bust of Washington and his coat of arms in gold. Many medals have evolved during the 200 plus years of our having become one nation. Many are simply medals of service. This means they are not given by recommendation of superiors for bravery or meritorious actions but because of services rendered under good behavior or length of time served. However the Purple Heart, itself, has undergone many changes with respect to the criteria for being awarded. At first, the Purple Heart was ex-

clusively awarded to Army and Army Air Corps personnel and could not be awarded posthumously to the next of kin. In 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt signed an executive order allowing the Navy to award the Purple Heart to Sailors, Marines and Coast Guard personnel. Also in that year, the Purple Heart was made available for posthumous award to any member of the military killed on or after Dec. 7, 1941. Originally the Purple Heart was awarded for meritorious service. Being wounded was one portion of consideration for merit. With the creation of the Legion of Merit in 1942, the award of the Purple Heart for meritorious service became unnecessary and was therefore discontinued. The Purple Heart, per regulation is awarded in the name of the President of the United States to any member of the Armed Forces of the United States who, while serving under competent authority in any capacity with one of the U.S. Armed Services after April 5, 1917 has been wounded, killed, or has died after being wounded. It is estimated that more than a million Service members received a Purple Heart in World War II, and nearly 119,000 in the Korean War. Numbers for subsequent conflicts are estimates as well with Vietnam War at 351,794, Persian Gulf War recipients being 607 and numbers for our on going hostilities in Afghanistan

War: 7,027 (as of June 5, 2010) and Iraq War: 35,321 (as of June 5, 2010) . Our current deployments have created recent changed in the conditions under which one may be recommended for the medal. As of March 17, 2011, due to the injuries that are being suffered described as ‘traumatic brain injury’ and updated version of requirements was passed and given to those in command who recommend their soldiers for the medal. Of particular interest is the newest research that has been done on those who have received the honor verses those who have not. A studying regarding the possible connection between longer mortality rates among veterans 65 and older, who received the Purple Heart and those who did not but served in the same conflicts. Researchers with VA and the Department of Defense have sought insight into the psychological and neurobiological factors that enable some Service members to not develop PTSD after traumatic events. The authors of the new VA study say Purple Heart holders who survive long past their war experience without PTSD may be the ideal population on which to focus such research. So far the study seems to conclude that those who received a medal for the service live on average 10 years longer than their counter parts. It further suggests that even those that suffer PTSD (post traumatic stress

disorder) have a lower mortality rate when having received the medal. This type of study may give special insights to look at how to prepare service members for combat. To have a greater understanding of what psychological issues create protection or embattlements for our current and returning heroes. There are many Purple Heart recipients who live among us. Their stories that earned them such an medal are their own. There is a happiness and dignity with having receiving this distinction, but also an underlying guilt of being a survivor. None wants to stand in the place of the honoree, but all are honored to still be standing. One recipient said, “I respectfully decline an interview, but I would want you to speak with a vet from Iraq or Afghanistan.” It is understandable. Receiving the medal means one has traveled through the horrors mankind has to chosen offer, but dome so because it is necessary to the freedom of man. Douglas McArthur, who was also a Purple Heart recipient said, “The Soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.” This sums up the young men and women who, this August 7, will stand, or their families in their place, and receive the honor for giving of themselves for the good of all, for the sake of peace.
