Two area teachers may face felonies Debby Schamber For The Record

Two area teachers are under investigation for improper relationships between an educator and student. They each could face up to 20 years in prison for the second degree felony. Most recently was a teacher from Community Christian School located at 3400 MLK Drive. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office received a call from the administration personnel at Community Christian School on Oct. 1 concerning an improper relationship between a 30-year-old female teacher and a male high school student. The accused teacher formerly taught 7th to 10th grade English classes. The reported victim is a former student. The Investigations Division of the OSCO was contacted and investigators obtained information from school district officials and students about the alleged offense. No arrests have been made and no other information can be released at this time due to the ongoing investigation, according to information received from the OCSO. “An allegation of inappropriate relations between an educator and student has been made to the school. The educator is no longer employed by the school. This allegation was immediately reported to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department by the school, and is currently under investigation. We do not have all the details TEACHERS PAGE 3A

Senator Robert Nichols (RJacksonville) recently met with local superintendents from Orange County with a purpose of discussing education issues in preparation for the 83rd Legislature which convenes in January. “The Legislature faces many challenges this session, and we cannot make good decisions unless we are listening closely to those we represent,” Nichols said. “Education is

and always will be one of the most important issues we face as a state.” Nichols said the meeting went “very NICHOLS well” and was “productive” as they discussed not only the problems but solutions. Much of what was discussed during the meeting with Orange educators is what is on the minds of other superintendents across

the state. According to Nichols, most of the conversation was dedicated to the testing such as the State of Texas Assessment

of Academic Readiness which replaced the TAKS during the 2011-12 school year. The TAKS had been given for the previous eight years.

Nichols said the superintendents were all in agreement about accountability, NICHOLS PAGE 2A

First Baptist historical marker to be unveiled Debby Schamber For The Record

First Baptist is not the name it bore when it was first organized and its history predates the 72 years it celebrated in July. First Baptist Church has been an integral part of Bridge City’s history and has been recognized by the Texas Historical Commission. Sunday the church will unveil a new historical marker. “The designation honors the church as an important and educational part of local history,” said Brenda Woodall, a longtime member of the church and president of the church historical committee. Darrell Segura, a member of the Bridge City Historical Society said it put him into the historical mood. “I had to go back and dig into the history of the church. I knew some of it but I didn’t really know the deep part; the very roots, beginning of the church,” he said. “It just made me appreciate the process a whole lot more.” Twenty-eight charter members organized the church in

Orangefield High School held its community pep rally Monday night to kick off homecoming week.

After more than two years since the fatal shooting of James Whitehead by Orange Police Officer Robert Arnold, the family has settled out of court. According to Diana Franken-Whitehead, James Whitehead’s mother, after lawyer’s fees and court costs, the family received $610,000. Whitehead’s 5-year-old HeavenLeigh, received 60 percent of the settlement which will be placed into a trust until she turns 21 years old. The remainder has been split between Whitehead’s mother, his father Vernon Whitehead amd James Whitehead’s common-law wife, Karlen, at the time of the shooting. It has been a “rough” two years for the Whitehead fami-

ly as they cope with his loss. “Most of the time it’s still rough.” said Brandy Boyette, Whitehead’s sisWHITEHEAD ter. But added, no amount of money is worth it since it won’t bring her brother back. HeavenLeigh, who will soon be six years old, has a lot of her father’s traits. Not only is she considered tall for her age, but has his laugh. She also has a love of music. Whitehead was shot and killed in July 2010 by Arnold who was off-duty at the time. Whitehead had tried to return an auto part at the O’ Reilly’s Auto Parts Store on 16th Street, but the store would not accept the part back. Arnold

The Bridge City Chamber of Commerce held its monthly networking coffee Tuesday at Geaux Mail located at 1152 Texas Avenue. The Chamber awarded Business of the month to Sabine Federal Credit Union and Employee of the Month to Amber Segura from Total Impressions Salon. Sabine FCU began in 1948 to serve the employees of the DuPont SRW plant in Orange, Texas. Since then, they’ve grown to serve anyone that lives, works, worships, or attends school in Orange, Hardin and Jefferson counties. Sabine FCU is very community minded and was instrumental in bringing the Rachel’s Challenge program, an anti-bullying campaign, to the area. They participate in many of our local events, including Cops and Kids, Lamar State College Orange events & orientation, the Lions Club Carnival, Shangri La Trash Off and the Christmas Parades along with providing financial education and other types of assistance to many other local groups. Each year, six lucky Orange County High School students are the recipients of a one thousand dollar college scholarship. They are very supportive of the chambers students of the month program and all other chamber activities. Sabine FCU offers savings and checking accounts, as well

but thought the testing was “too much” and it disrupts the school. During the testing, certain conditions must be met such as having certified teachers on hand, hall monitors which are disruptive and to pull teachers from other areas to meet the requirements. In addition, the school overall may be doing very well but if one child in 30 drops below a certain number in the testing, then the school is rated unacceptable. “They are graded on the lowest score,” Nichols said. The superintendents also stated it is a common problem that school districts are forced to teach the test. In addition, by spending so much time on testing, it not only stresses out the teachers, but the students as well. Ideas discussed to alleviate some of the problems may be to test every other year instead of the current yearly testing. ‘This is a way to test the school and the child as an individual,” Nichols said. Nichols gave an example of a child who may take the test as a freshman. If they fail the test

then then have time to take tutorials since they can’t be forced to go to school during the summer, they can be caught up for the next round of testing. For some this may be what they need. The No Child Left Behind passed in Congress 10 years ago. It was one of President George W. Bush’s signature legislative accomplishments and was hailed by its supporters as bringing accountability to education by stressing standardized testing and threatening sanctions if schools failed to show progress. Over the past three years, the federal Adequate Yearly Progress system has increased passing expectations 14 percentage points in reading/language arts and 16 percentage points in math. By the 2013-14 school year, 100 percent of students will be expected to pass both the math and reading STAAR assessments, according to information from the LC-M CISD. Before each legislative session Nichols meets with each of the school district superintendents in Senate District 3

who was in the store with his 14-year-old daughter attempted to intervene when Whitehead became loud and belligerent. Although 9-1-1 had been called there was an altercation in the parking lot. As a result, Whitehead was shot in the chest as he sat in the front seat of a pickup truck and died, according to reports. An investigation into the matter was conducted by the Texas Rangers. The case was turned over to the Orange County Grand Jury. They decided to “no-bill” Arnold of any charges. Arnold was sent a letter of indefinite suspension from former OPD Chief Sam Kittrell in November 2010 following the shooting. In May 2011, city officials and Arnold were involved in a hearing with arbitrator, LeRoy Bartman. By July of 2011, Bartman issued his ruling in the case. “The Grievant (Arnold) is exonerated of all charges,” Bartman wrote. “The city of Orange, Texas violated state and federal law when it deprived Captain Arnold of his ‘due process rights.’ The indefinite suspension is reversed and the disciplinary reinstatement of Captain Arnold is so ordered.” As a result, the city filed an appeal. The appeal hearing is scheduled for the end of October, although, it is not definite which courtroom. In addition, Arnold’s attorneys have filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against the city of Orange. A mediation is scheduled for November 13. According to court documents, the suit is for lost income, past, present and future in addition to lost benefits and

to listen to their priorities and discuss issues facing the local education community. Nichols had met with about 60 educators. Within the next few days, he intends to meet with many more to collect information. Nichols has also met with Texas Education Commissioner Michael Williams who is also hearing from educators about the testing problems. ‘Some of the things he can fix, but things that are in statute will be left up to the Legislature to fix,” Nichols said. Senate District 3, which includes over 100 school districts throughout 19 counties, encompasses the greater part of East Texas and Montgomery County. “These meetings help me to understand how decisions in Austin impact local schools,” stated Nichols. “I appreciate the opportunity to meet with superintendents and discuss how we can continue improving our education system. Our combined goal is to ensure children have the educational tools they need to have fulfilling and prosperous lives.”

loss of ability to contribute to his retirement. In addition, they are seeking damages for mental anguish and emotional distress. Officials with OPD convened two “shooting boards” to investigate the incident. The shooting boards did not conduct an independent investigation but instead questioned Arnold. In November 2010 the board concluded Arnold had committed 10 violations of department policy, according to court documents.

As a result, Arnold’s employment was terminated. “These alleged policy violations were mere pretext for his dismissal covering up the real reason of his dismissal, which is race,” the document reads. “Upon information and belief, no white officer of the Orange Police Department has ever been terminated for an officer involved in a shooting after the Texas Rangers and an Orange County Grand Jury has cleared them.”

Teachers may face felonies at this time. We are now cooperating and will always cooperate with law enforcement authorities. The safety and welfare of our students is always of the highest priority. No additional statements will be made by the school. This matter is now in the hands of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department,” according to a written statement from Community Christian School. Expected to be turned over to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office this week, is the case involving a Little Cypress-Mauriceville Junior High School teacher who is also under investigation for charges of an improper relationship between educator and student. Concerned friends of the 17-year-old girl approached their Little-Cypress-Mauriceville High school coach about the issue involving the girl. The coach in turn forwarded the information to the high school principal. As a result, on Sept. 4, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and

the State Board of Educator Certification were contacted and an investigation was launched. Investigators obtained information from school district officials and students. The alleged victim is believed to have played on a softball team coached by the teacher. At this time, no arrests have been made. The teacher, who had only worked for LCMCISD for 16 days, has resigned from their position at the school. The individual referred to as a Little Cypress Junior High employee by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department release, is a former employee, having worked for the district only 16 days. As a result, the teacher resigned after allegations were made. The Administration immediately began investigations and notified the Sheriff’s Department as well as the State Board of Educator Certification. Both entities are conducting their own investigations.

Historical marker to be unveiled show those services began in 1877 in a oneroom schoolhouse when Bridge city was called Prairie View. In 1894 Prairie View Church was organized by a predominantly Baptist congregation. The church was destroyed by the category four hurricane of 1915 that hit Galveston. The congregation once again met in homes, then moved to the Prairie View School in 1923, when it was built. In June of 1940 Central Baptist Church from Port Arthur held a vacation Bible school at Prairie View School. That, along with a fiveday revival and the renewed interest in Sunday school inspired the members to organize the new church. Blandale Baptist Church was chartered July 11, 1940 with 28 members. The first pastor for the congregation was the Rev. J.B. Perry. “I didn’t even realize we were actually the first church (in Bridge City),” said Segura. “The First Baptist Church has been here the longest to serve the community.” Prairie View changed its name to Bridge City following completion of the Cow Bayou Swing Bridges, and the church was renamed as Bridge City Baptist Church before taking its current name of First Baptist Church in 1948. Rev. Perry served as pastor until 1944. Maurice Aguillard, Wallace Lee and Jimmie Gray served until 1949. Miers led the church until 1961 when Bullard Jones took over. Robert Holt became pastor in 1967 until 1977; Charles Walton from 1977-91; and John Locklear from 1992-2003. Robert Boone became pastor in 2004 to present. The church building was built for $1,500

on land that was bought for $100 an acre from landowner Mrs. Fara Bland Kibbe, a descendant of the town’s first settlers. The monthly mortgage was $25 and electricity was $1. What seems today to be miniscule was gargantuan back then and the fledgling church struggled to pay it. The sanctuary in use today was conceived in 1950 for $75,000 and was dedicated Nov. 29, 1953. “It’s a credit to the long-standing wherewithal and makeup of the church. It’s withstood over the years and through the test of time; through the ups and downs in the world,” said Boone. “We are as strong now as we’ve ever been, I believe. We’re as solid as we’ve ever been as a church family; looking forward to the future.” The formal dedication of the plaque will be a 5 p.m., Sunday, with a reception following in the Fellowship Hall at 5:30 p.m., with heavy hors d’oeuvres said Segura. Historical pictures will be on display. At 6:30 there will be a service. “We’re also showing about an 18 min. video with a lot of historical pictures from the past including the first sanctuary; and the succession of pastors through the church history,” said Segura. “I think people that will come will really enjoy it.” Boone will also be giving a sermon based on the occasion. “The historical marker points to the past,” said Boone. “We celebrate the past but we’re excited about the present and excited about the future in years to come. The church is located at 200 West Round Bunch. For more information contact the church at 409-735-3581.

From the Creaux’s Nest POLITICAL PLAYOFFS We’re already come on another week. Boy, the weather has been just great. Unfortunately a change is coming.*****The Super Bowl season of politics, the playoffs, have begun. President Obama lost the first round. It always has amazed me how fickle the American people are. If one debate can swing the polls so drastically, who knows where they will end up after two more debates. More importantly, this Thursday is the vice presidential debate between VP Joe Biden and Paul Ryan. Biden is one of the most experienced people to serve as vice president, the youngest ever elected to the United States senate, served under six presidents, has served in every senate committee and is considered a foreign policy expert. Challenger Con. Paul Ryan is a Wisconsin congressman who had considered running for senator however the polls showed he couldn’t win. He’s the author of the controversial Paul Ryan Budget that Mitt Romney has signed on to. It’s far right wing legislation. Usually the VP race doesn’t affect presidential outcomes but this one debate could reach those fickle voters.*****Just a point of interest while watching the Vice-presidential debate. When Paul Ryan, who has a good size ego is proud of himself, you know “the I got you attitude,” he will press his lips together real tight. When he’s nervous his Adams Apple moves up and down. I know that doesn’t have anything to do with substance but it will be interesting to watch when he becomes the cheerleader for Mitt Romney and defends the Ryan Budget.******The United States job picture is steadily improving. We had predicted, when unemployment was at 10.1 percent, that it would be down to 8 percent or below by election time. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, last Friday announced that unemployment has fallen steady for 31 straight months and is down to 7.8 percent. Meanwhile, the entire economy is on the upswing. New home starts are up, consumer confidence is up, domestic oil production is at a 50 year high. The economy has a long way to go but has made up the ground lost in the great recession. The economy is healing. My prediction is that by this time next year we will be well below 7 percent unemployment and that there will be a business boom in late 2013. That is if we stay on the present economic policies. If we go back to square one and start over all bets are off.*****Well, it’s time to get on down the line. Come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm. ONE DEBATE DOWN--TWO TO GO I know you expect me to comment on the presidential debate. President Obama lost. I had predicted he would lose the first debate, but where he lost the most was that Mitt Romney was on the ropes, his money was drying up, he was making large loans. Down ticket candidates in his own party were running away from him and his approval level was dropping like a rock. Obama gave him new life. It was hard to tell which was the most moderate candidate. Romney spun one sided stories, some were bogus, others not the whole truth. Fact Finder identified twenty eight issues that were totally false or greatly exaggerated. He said he would balance the budget in eight years but hasn’t offered a complete plan. He pledged to cut taxes by 20 percent. Well, in his 47 percent government depending video, to $50,000 a plate donors, he said those people don’t pay taxes, so that leaves 53 percent who would get 20 percent cuts, including the super wealthy, who would keep their Bush tax cuts and get an additional 20 percent break. Romney who pays 14 percent would now pay six percent to eight percent. So we would have to require cuts that affect the 47 percent. Deep cuts, squeezing the bottom 47 percent. Cuts such as school lunches, Pell grants, Amtrak, Big Bird, and everything in between, also a voucher program for Medicare. Romney claims he will eliminate some tax breaks but refuses to say which ones. He’ll give $4.8 trillion in tax brakes and add $2 trillion to the military budget. Who will pay for all that? You guessed it, Romney’s 47 percent of free loaders will feel a lot more hurt with the loss of necessary safety nets. His campaign has already back tracked on his “pre-existing conditions” being covered. He was in the debate attempting to deceive voters on this issue. That was only one of many misleading and dishonest claims. Like cutting off Medicaid, denying health care to millions. He actually agreed with Obama’s health reform, 75 percent of it anyway. Romney won the debate or mastered the theatrical performance. Romney claims were fundamentally dishonest and President Obama should have called him on them. He let a great opportunity to put Romney away get away. There will be two other debates. What Romney did was play a word game with voters, pretending to offer something substantial while actually offering nothing. He simply lied about what his policy proposes would do. Newt Gingrich said about Romney during the primaries, “He is fundamentally running a dishonest campaign and will say or do anything to become president.” TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME 10 Years Ago-2002 An artist rendition of the new Bridge City High School is released. The two story building will be 125,000 square feet and can house up to 1200 students. The new school will have plenty of parking. The cost is $11.9 million. Superintendent Sam Lucia said “It will be the most impressive school in Southeast Texas.” Asst. Supt. Joe Chenella agreed.*****The Bridge City Rotarians prepare for it’s 16th annual gumbo dinner to be served from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. be-

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Leo Boudreaux stick his head into Alsid Trahan’s barber shop and he ax, “Trahan, how long before I can get a haircut me?” Trahan, da barber, look around da shop and he say, “’About two hours.” Boudreaux, him , he leave. A couple days later he comes back, stick his head in da door and ax, “Trahan, how long before I can get a haircut me?” Trahan, he look around at da shop wats full of customers and he says, “About tree hours.” Boudreaux, he leaves. A week later here comes Boudreaux again. He sticks his head in da barber shop and ax, “Trahan, how long before I can get a haircut me?” Trahan, da barber, look around da shop and says, “Bout an hour and a half. Trahan, him, by dis time, is intrigues. He look over at a friend in da shop and he say, “Clovis, how bout you follow dat fool and see where he goes him.” Clovis take off. In just a little bit, he comes back in da barber shop killing himself laughing. Trahan ax, “Clovis, tell me where did he go wen he left here?” Clovis he’s laughing so hard tears are in his eye, and he answer, “Trahan, dat fool went to your house.” C’EST TOUT Folks in swing states can’t turn on the TV without seeing a political ad. Some people claim to have been polled as much as five times. Nearly a billion dollars will be spent by both presidential candidates. We’re not only missing out on all the action, we won’t have anything to do with who is elected. It doesn’t matter what I say or how we vote, or if we even vote. It’s out of our hands. Purple states will decide, not red or blue ones. Even if it doesn’t matter I found it interesting that a new Associated Press fact check on Gov. Romney’s foreign policy speech Monday not very kind to his truthfulness on the facts. They called it a one sided story. They knocked down everything from terrorism to defense cuts and most everything in between. One thing for sure is that sanctions on Iran are working. Food supplies are short and their currency is devalued by 42 percent. The Iranian citizens are getting restless with the government. I bet when this election is over they will be looking to make a deal. Assad, in Syria, will also be on the hot seat after the election if Obama is re-elected.*****Next Tuesday is another debate. President Obama won’t lose that one. Some will see it as tied but my bet is that the President will win the last debate big. If not, he’s done. He has to stop the decline in the second debate. Well since there is little interest here in the race I’ve probably used too much space on it but it’s the most important game played every four years.*****Thanks for all the great response and thanks for your time.

Getting Spicy in Bridge City

Gary and Cresta Beall of Bridge City created Hunter’s Seasoning’s after one and a half to two years of “research and development.” They named the company after their 10 year old son, Hunter.

Penny LeLeux For The Record Cresta Beall of Bridge City loves to cook. Frequently when she used seasoning blends available on the market, her

hands would swell. The problem was too much salt in the seasonings. She started to blend her own to try and find a combination that tasted good and gave her the results she wanted without causing swell-

thing to taste the same, every time. So I started writing down what seasonings I used in recipes. If I make something up, I don’t follow recipes, I just do it from scratch,” said Cresta. “I started to experiment with different seasonings to see how it tastes and then we started getting our friends to come over and taste test and our family to see what they thought about it.” “My son, Hunter, he’s 10, he helps me mix up seasonings and experiment and stuff.” After about one and a half to two years of trying different concoctions, Cresta had developed several blends that were not only well received by her husband, but also by friends and family. “We were doing it strictly for us in the beginning,” said Cresta. “It tasted good enough I thought I could sell it in a store. It snowballed from there.” Gary posted online on Facebook that they were going to start selling seasonings in Sep-

tember. Cresta freaked out a little bit. “We don’t even have a business,” she told him. “It just snowballed, I’ve been jumping through hoops trying to get everything accomplished so we could have it out by the beginning of September; getting licenses, permits. You have to have a manufacturer’s license to be able to have your own seasoning. Even though I don’t manufacture it, TexJoy does, you still have to have a manufacturers license because my name’s on the label.” There was even more paperwork that was needed to start a business, such as a DBA (doing business as) and filing a corporation. Everything was in place about the middle of August. She researched online and called local offices to find out the procedures she needed to complete for the new venture. The Hunter’s Seasoning’s became available in 22 of the 34 Market Baskets about three weeks ago. The seasoning blends are also available

at Robert’s Meat Market in Pinehurst and Luv Lingerie in Bridge City. Saturday, at the Bridge City Heritage Festival was their first public event promoting Hunter’s Seasoning’s. The seasonings are named for the couple’s son. His picture is on the labels. Cresta said she wanted something that looked dynamic and would stand out. At first they were going to go with a picture of a deer, but she said there weren’t many labels that have pictures. They also incorporate camouflage imaging on the labels. Currently they have five blends: spicy taco and fajita; mildly spicy taco and fajita; spicy deer and hamburger; mildly spicy deer and hamburger; and spicy chili spice. The seasonings are $3.50 a bottle. They also have gift packs available.For more information, check out their website www.huntersseasonings.com or call 409-6705456.

Former Workforce executive director passes away

America’s Got Talent finalists scheduled to perform at the Lutcher

Linda Brown Colbert, former executive director of Workforce Solutions Southeast Texas, passed away Sept. 19 after a lengthy illness. She was 60. Colbert was named the first executive director of Southeast Texas Workforce Development Board when it was formed in 1996. She remained dedicated to its mission of building a worldclass competitive workforce for Southeast Texas until 2008. “We were blessed to have worked under Linda’s leadership and vision for the many years she was part of Workforce,” said Marilyn Smith, who succeeded Colbert as executive director. “She was a passionate advocate for individuals seeking to overcome obstacles and become self-sufficient and a driving force in development of economic opportunities for Southeast Texas. Linda Brown Colbert More important, Linda was a loving and faithful friend who we will dearly miss. Her smile and joyful spirit will forever be remembered by those who were fortunate enough to know her.” During Colbert’s tenure as executive director, she successfully led workforce development efforts that garnered attention on the state and national levels. Her passion for improving economic opportunities for Southeast Texas included serving with numerous civic, community and business organizations with like-minded goals. Colbert served as President of the Texas Workforce Association, the House of Refuge Board, Chair of the State Policy Committee, Welfare-to-Work Policy Advisory Committee to the Governor, the Red Cross Board of America, Advisory Member of POST (Partnership of Southeast Texas) and Beaumont ISD Vocation Advisory Council. She was also honored as Woman of the Year – Top Ladies of Distinction and as Director of the Year – State of Texas. She began her professional career in 1976 with Programs for Human Services where she served as Program Supervisor. In 1984, she joined the South East Texas Regional Planning Commission as a Special Programs Coordinator and soon after became the Director of Employment and Training until her appointment to the Workforce Development Board as executive director in 1996. Services celebrating Colbert’s life and achievements were held Sept. 29 at Starlight Church of God in Christ in Orange, Texas.

“What a way to end the show! You brought it home,” Howie Mandel told them, going on to declare that they deserved to go to all the way to the finals. Sharon Osbourne agreed, calling the act “spectacular.” Added Howard Stern, “No disappointments here…. That’s a big stage show. That’s a million dollar act, no ifs, ands or buts.” Such went the comments of the America’s Got Talent judges in response to the artistry of a Lightwire Theater performance. Now, area residents have the opportunity to see what inspired AGT’s judges and audiences as New Orleans’ Lightwire Theater, in correlation with Corbian Visual Arts and Dance, tell the stories of THE UGLY DUCKLING and THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE, Thursday, October 18 at 9:30 and 11:30 AM on the Lutcher Theater stage. These classic Aesop’s Fables are told with spectacular glow-in-the-dark electroluminescent wire (EL wire) puppets, dazzling visual effects, poignant choreography and creative use of music ranging from classical to jazz to pop. Creators Ian Carney and Corbin Popp met while dancing in Twyla Tharp’s Broadway show Movin’ Out. An immediate connection was made as they discovered their mutual love of art, theater and technology. After coming across a product called EL wire, the lights turned on. “EL wire” is short for electroluminescent wire: Unlike black lights, the technology can be powered by batteries and requires no theatrical lighting. The possibilities seemed endless. Together with their wives Eleanor and Whitney they began to develop puppetry based creatures that quickly gained personality. Lightwire Theater visits the Orange area as part of the Lutcher Incredible Kids Events 2012-13 Series, which is designed to accommodate area school field trips as well as the public. Grades PreK through 4th grade will not only enjoy the stories and spectacle of this production, but will find curriculum connections with Language Arts, Science and Theater. Patrons of all ages will marvel at the mystery of its artistry. All tickets are $4 and though not available online for this performance, can be purchased by calling 409-886-5535. Lutcher Incredible Kids Events is sponsored by Printpack Inc. The Frances Ann Lutcher Theater for the Performing Arts is located at 707 Main in Orange.

Forum scheduled for OISD candidates The Orangefield Classroom Teachers’ Association will be hosting a forum for the candidates running for positions on the Orangefield Independent School District School Board. The forum will be held 7 – 8: 30 p.m., Monday, Oct. 15, in the gym of First Baptist Church in Orangefield.

B Cardinals and Bobcats regroup ‘THE RECORD’ HOMETOWN HIGHLIGHTS

PAGE 5B

CHRIS MENARD SPORTS COLUMNIST FOR THE RECORD

Coming into week seven, the playoff picture gets a little murkier after several of our local area schools posted district wins a week ago. Had some of these same football squads taken those losses, it would have been really difficult to regain traction in time to save their respective post-season hopes. Hoping other teams lose doesn’t count. The Orangefield Bobcats (2-4, 1-1) had a huge district victory 5428, on the road, against HamshireFannett last Friday. Bobcat nation either heard about, or saw an offensive explosion as Coach Josh Smalley orchestrated an impressive Orangefield rushing attack that resulted in over 600 yards of total offense. “We got healthy. We were missing

our quarterback who was out with a concussion. When we’re healthy, we move the ball.” No kidding. It was the usual suspects leading the way, and they did not disappoint as Coach Smalley and the crew had three runners over the 100 yard mark. Tyran Como racked up 116 yards and two touchdowns while quarterback Eric Truncale piled on another 109 yards with a score. The workhorse was Carl Wiley, who eluded defenders with ease, all game long. Wiley had 259 yards on the ground and found the end zone three different times. “It was a good win for us, but now were focusing on next week. It’ll be Homecoming and we know it’s a must-win every week, one week at a time.” This Friday at 7 p.m., Orangefield will host Hardin-Jefferson in HOMETOWN FOOTBALL PAGE 2B

Mustangs take break, 6-0 MUSTANG INSIDER MERI ELEN JACOBS FOR THE RECORD

It may have appeared on Friday night that the Mustangs were getting a slow start, but it was hard for quarterback Jimmy Salter to decide which “weapon” he was going to use first. However, once he chose John Scott to get the scoring started, there was no looking back in the 49-0 romp over the Hardin Jefferson Hawks. “Give Hardin Jefferson credit. They played well and they played hard,” Head Coach Cornel Thompson said. “They had two weeks to prepare for us and we definitely got their A game.” The defense worked hard all night long, only giving up one big play early in the contest when HJ quarterback Jared Gieseke hit receiver Andrew Martel down the sidelines for a 52-yard gain. However, the Hawks had to settle for a field goal attempt and the ball sailed wide right as HJ walked away with no points on the board. The Mustangs quickly went to

another all-important district match-up. Coach Crouch and the Little Cypress-Mauriceville Bears (2-3, 1-1) hosted the Port Neches-Groves Indians, and they were ready for them all the way. The Battlin’ Bears unleashed a potent offensive attack against the Indians and handled them in all phases of the game, ending in a 35-6 LC-M victory. Running back Alex Sezer ran amok on the Indian defense to the total of 217 yard on 23 touches. He found the end zone twice and that’s only part of the story in this wellbalanced performance by a determined Bear team. Quarterback Caleb Harley hit two different receivers for scores and nearly had a 200 yard passing game as well. Dalton Doyle grabbed two and Billy Jones was the other score. Coach Crouch has his work cut out for him this Friday at 7:30. He’ll have to get his guys ramped up to play their third district game of the year against the Nederland Bulldogs. The Bears will be hosting the game and it’s a really important one because they don’t want to go down 1-2 in district play. The West Orange-Stark Mustangs (6-0, 1-0) had another impressive game against district rival Hardin-Jefferson 49-0, making this the fourth time this year they’ve shut out an opponent. The offense ran like a well-oiled machine, scoring four touchdowns on the ground while quarterback Jimmy Salter passed for two more. The “chain-gang” defense harassed the Hawk’s offense relentlessly, holding the team to under 100 yards rushing and passing. The Mustangs and Coach Thompson look like a lock for the playoffs, but the season is far from over heading into their bye week. The Mustangs have four district games in a row, upon their return, and you better believe every team standing in their way will have their say before it’s all said

and done. Coach Thompson and his squad have the target on their back, as the Mustang continue to prove the experts correct by winning consistently. The Bridge City Cardinals (2-3, 1-0) suffered a defeat at the hands of the Jasper Bulldogs 21-7 last week, and it was a tough one to swallow as the Jasper defensive held the Cards’ in check for most of the game. This loss comes after Coach Cris Stump and the gang were building momentum off of two previous wins. Lucky for Bridge City, this latest defeat wasn’t a district game, meaning their playoff status isn’t crucially effected just yet. Coach Stump is already one

step ahead, and is obviously moving ahead to the Cardinal’s next challenge and it’s a big one. Enter the Silsbee Tigers. “We expect to win,” said Coach Stump. “We’ve beat them the last two years, and they’re going to show up mad. They want to go to the playoffs, but we want a playoff spot too. We’re going to prepare and then come out to play hard.” Bridge City will host the 5-1 Silsbee Tiger at 7 p.m. this Friday. With district leverage at stake, expect to see both teams give it their all come game time. The Vidor Pirates (3-1, 1-1) beat Ozen 28-21 last week. On Friday, they’ll host Lumberton at 7:30 p.m.

For The Record

I’ve been either playing or following the game of baseball for over 60 years and have watched the game make plenty of changes—some for the good of the game and others probably for the monetary advantage of the major league owners. I remember growing up when there were only eight teams in both the National and American Leagues and many of the statistics kept today weren’t even thought of back in the 1950’s and 1960’s before the Computer Era. There was no such thing as divisions, or playoffs—unless two teams were tied for first place after the final game of the regular season. The World Series generally was over at this time of October. And then from 1960 until now the major

leagues nearly doubled in the number of franchises with 16 in the National League and 14 in the American League. Both leagues become equal with 15 thanks to the Houston Astros’ new owner Jim Crane giving in to the wishes of Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig last summer. The major leagues went to three divisions and a playoff system to determine the two teams that would meet for the World Series. And if that didn’t extend the major league baseball season enough, one wild card for each league was added in 1994, but not used until 1995 because of a player’s strike which canceled the 1994 World Series. The wild card teams were accepted as “fullblooded members” of the baseball post-season, with all the benefits of regular members, except that they couldn’t have home-field advantage. The 1997 Florida Marlins were the first team to win the World Series from the wild-card spot. In 2000, the New York Mets went to the World Series as a wild-card, but the Yankees won their division and the World Series with

87 wins. In 2002, the Los Angeles Angels won the World Series over the San Francisco Giants— both wild-card teams. In 2003, the Marlins again won the World Series as a wild card and in 2004 the Boston Red Sox won the World Series, also as a wild card. 2005 was a special year for us Houston Astros fans because our guys reached the World Series for the first time in franchise history, but were swept in four straight games by the Chicago White Sox. In 2006, the Detroit Tigers reached the World Series as a wild card and lost to the St. Louis Cardinals, a team that won the NL Central Di-

vision with just 83 victories. In 2007, the Colorado Rockies reached the World Series as a wild card and last year in 2011 the St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series as a wild card. As this week’s edition of USA Today Sports Weekly points out: “If you found yourself in a heated race for the division title, well, it didn’t matter as long as you had a good enough record to be in the wild-card spot. This devalued one of baseball’s greatest qualities, the September pennant race. “So baseball people came up with a novel KAZ’S KORNER PAGE 4B

Kaz’s Korner: New wild card rule way to deal with it. Instead of getting rid of the wild card, they added another wild card, but took away full membership rights for wild-card teams. Now, wild cards have to face each other in a one-game cage match for the privilege of getting into the REAL postseason.” The weekly newspaper concluded that there now is no question that if you’re in a pennant race, your team will want to do everything in its power to win the division, because the wild card is “fraught with peril.” Anybody could lose a onegame playoff which was proven last weekend by the Atlanta Braves and the Texas Rangers. Plus, if your team wins the one-game playoff, it will go into the Division Series wounded, with its best pitcher burned out for three or four days. In the National League, the Washington Nationals, Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants won their divisions without much of a pennant race. Atlanta easily secured that first wild card and would have been in the Division Playoffs if Major League baseball didn’t alter the format by creating another wild card, which happened to be the fortunate St. Louis Cardinals. Because the Braves had the better record, the one-game playoff was held at Turner Field in Atlanta. Trailing 6-3 in the bottom of the eighth inning, the Braves loaded the bases with one out. Andrelton Simmons hit a pop fly that dropped at least 50 feet beyond the infield dirt in short left field that would have scored one or maybe two runs. However, umpire Sam Holbrook ruled Simmons out under the infield fly rule. So instead of the Braves trailing

by two or maybe even one run with still only one out, there were two outs. The fans at Turner Field went berserk, littering the field with beer cups, buckets of popcorn and anything they could get their hands on to throw on the field, leading to a scary 19-minute delay. Holbrook and umpiring supervisor Charlie Reliford defended the call. “Once the fielder established himself, he got ordinary effort,” Holbrook said. “That’s when the infield fly rule was called.” Atlanta went on to lose 6-3 making St. Louis the wild card team in the best-of-five National League Divisional Series playing against the Washington Nationals. The Texas Rangers, who lost the AL West Division title on the final day of the regular season after being swept in three games at Oakland, dropped nine of their final13 games but had the best wild-card record in the American League. The Rangers lost the onegame wild-card playoff to the Baltimore Orioles 5-1 Friday, and like the Atlanta Braves will be watching the rest of the major league post-season in the comfort of the living room at their own homes. KWICKIES..Now that Terry Francona is back into the major league managing circle after being hired last weekend as the new skipper for the Cleveland Indians, don’t be surprised if he names former Houston Astros’ manager Brad Mills to his staff. Francona has managed for 12 seasons in the majors, compiling a 1,029-915 record. His father, Tito, played for the Indians from 1959-64. The national sports media claimed that the Texas Longhorns were defeated by West Virginia 48-45 Saturday night because former Penn State

kicker Anthony Fera, playing in his first game for the ‘Horns, missed a 41-yard field goal late in the game that would have tied the score 41-41. But what really lost the game for the Longhorns was the premature or bad snap on the preceding third down play that lost 16 yards. A good snap might have kept the drive alive or at least would have made the field goal try a 25-yarder instead. And for its punishment, Texas is a three-point underdog to Oklahoma in Saturday’s Red River Shootout in Dallas. Perhaps those sub-par performances against Auburn (12-10) and Towson (38-22) foreshadowed LSU’s miserable offensive showing Saturday at Gainesville in Florida’s 14-6 upset over the Tigers. Don’t be surprised if the three points LSU is favored by Saturday night against South Carolina slowly melts away by kickoff time. Washington Redskins’ rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III hopefully learned a very valuable lesson Sunday in his team’s 24-17 loss to the undefeated Atlanta Falcons. When you have to run with the football, either hot-foot it for the sidelines and go out of bounds or else look like a baseball player and do a hook slide before contact is made. If RG3 did one of those two things Sunday, he wouldn’t have suffered a slight concussion and a cut face when Atlanta linebacker and Jasper native Sean Weatherspoon made his bonecrushing tackle. Three teams vaulted into the top five in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 College Poll. South Carolina jumped from sixth to No. 3, Florida surged from tenth to No. 4 and West Virginia jumped three notches from eighth to No. 5 while Alabama maintained its

hold as the No. 1 team in the country despite being idle last week and Oregon remained No. 2. Kansas State moved up one slot to No. 6, Notre Dame went up two spots to No. 7 and Ohio State catapulted four spots to No. 8 while LSU slid from fourth to No. 9 and Oregon jumped four spots to No. 10. Texas plummeted four notches to No. 15 and TCU dropped out of the top 25 due to the suspension of its quarterback. JUST BETWEEN US… Those National Football League fans living outside the Lone Star State are becoming real familiar with what the Houston Texans are all about and that’s winning. The Texans out-played the New York Jets before an national audience on Monday Night Football and won 23-7 for their fifth straight victory without a loss. The Texans will turn right around and meet the mighty Green Bay Packers at Reliant Stadium on national TV Sunday night.

H Kaz’s Fearless Football Forecast GAMES THIS WEEK From Page 1B stay on that road that eventually will lead to the state playoffs. But they had better not overlook the Raiders, who also desperately need a win this Friday night. DEWEYVILLE over CORRIGAN-CAMDEN The Pirates are coming off of a very successful pre-district schedule, but starting Friday, the remainder of the games will be for the District 12-2A championship. Friday’s foe has had a tough time so far this season, but they are ready to start district play with a clean slate, so the Pirates need to continue their winning ways. VINTON over EAST BEAUREGARD The Lions had a real tough outing last week as Rosepine overwhelmed them 43-12, leaving Vinton winless in three district contests. However, East Beauregard is in the same predicament, having failed to win in their six outings so far this season. But they are looking to end that status, so the Lions must be on their toes at Dry Creek Friday night. LAMAR over McMURRY The Cards are coming off a pair of tough Southland Confer-

Mustangs reek havoc sophomore Dre Spencer who caught an 18 yard pass in the end zone for the second score. The Hawks, who used clock control to keep the score down, kept the Mustangs from scoring when they recovered a fumble in the red zone late in the second quarter. “We played much better offensively in the second half,” Thompson said. ‘We stayed with it and our conditioning was also a factor.” Scott struck again on the first play from scrimmage after the half, when he hit the line running and went 61 yards for six. “John (Scott) had a big run. He hit his block and headed north for the score,” Thompson said. “We have really been working with our running backs on running north, not east and west.” Next, Salter chose weapon J’Marcus Rhodes to carry the pigskin in on an 8-yard pass. After Cano’s kick, the Mustangs were up, 28-0 with plenty of time left in the game. To end the third quarter, running back Abear Simien tore into the end zone from one yard out and a Cano kick set the game at 35-0. Salter still had weapons to use, although he didn’t want to use them all in one night. A hand-off to Ar’Tevin McDonald went 20 yards for what most thought would be the final touchdown. Down 42-0, the Hawks, who had mustered negative yards rushing and only one first down, started their best drive of the game. Gieseke used the strength of Devan Cooper to push forward for yardage. With 12 seconds left in the game and threatening to score,

Gieseke went to the air, looking at Martel in the end zone. The ball, tipped by senior Kaleb Franklin, was snagged by linebacker Joe Lynch, who took the ball 96 yards for a touchdown as time ran out. And Salter had completed his mission of using seven weapons to score with, sixteen overall who moved the ball upfield with their legs or arms, while the defense posted its fourth shut-out of the season and 85th in the history of the program. The defense has held opponents to an average of 147 yards a game while posting close to 300 on offense. The defense played well all night, limiting the Hawks to (-2) yards rushing and only 75 passing, with four first downs. Sophomore Deionte Thompson had a spectacular night snagging two of Gieseke’s passes, one that set up the Simien touchdown. The Mustangs will have an open week this Friday, but at the corral, the team is still working hard, preparing for the next two contests that according to Thompson will be extremely difficult mental tests. “We don’t want to lose the edge that we have,” Thompson said. “We will use the open

ence losses and will be looking forward to taking a break from SLC play. But if those silly mistakes continue, the Redbirds will make their fans at Provost-Umphrey Stadium unhappy Saturday. McNEESE STATE over CENTRAL ARKANSAS The Cowboys have had two weeks to prepare for this important Southland Conference game at Louis Bonnette Field in Lake Charles. Central Arkansas is fresh off a 34-14 victory over Nicholls State and stands at 2-1 in league play. The Pokes have split their two SLC contests.

From Page 1 date to work and condition and possibly put in some new stuff, but for us it isn’t an off week. Orangefield and Buna run the same type of offense-the slot T and we haven’t done well in the last few years against their offense.” Orangefield is led by Carl Willey, who has carried the ball 103 times for 713 yards and seven touchdowns. Quarterback Eric Truncale is also a threat with 474 yards and four touchdowns of his own. The Bobcats are averaging 347 yards a game while giving up 356, but posted almost 600 against Hamshire-Fannett in this past weeks’ 54-28 win. This will be the homecoming game with festivities kicking off with the parade Monday night at 6:30 p.m. The parade will start on Western close to the water tower and will end at the high school with a community pep rally immediately after at Dan R. Hooks Stadium. The homecoming court will be announced and then the king will be crowned on Friday at the Homecoming pep rally around 3:15 and the queen will be crowned during half time of the game. Tickets for the game will be available at the normal hours-Wednesday 1 to 3 p.m., Thursday 9 to

Wind can frustrate the best of us erman and I will pray for him COLBURN-FISHING tonight.” CAPT. DICKIE COLBURN It was quite obvious that FOR THE RECORD

“Five to ten miles per hour….my butt!” Once again the weatherman had grossly missed yet another weather forecast and not only were we bouncing from wave to wave, but we were a warm jacket or two short as well. Even at that, those were pretty strong words that had escaped the lips of a man of the cloth. “That statement was uttered out of frustration,” he quickly added. “It was in no way meant to dis the weath-

the good reverend fishes very little. If he did, he would have known that even the best weathermen get the wind right only about 20 percent of the time The wind had howled the day before, but was forecast to lay down over night. It didn’t. We surfed our way through several sets of birds that just wouldn’t hold in the white caps before striking gold under two pelicans and a hand full of terns. Everyone in the boat hooked up on a redfish and amazingly enough we were able to land all four fish.

The birds had moved on and we had surfed at least fifty yards by the time we boxed all four fish and re-tied. I ran back to where we had started and we immediately caught two more fish before they disappeared. For the remainder of the morning we fought the same miserable program hoping for a keeper trout or red at each stop. Once again, the lure that made the difference for us was a Maniac Mullet. We caught far more fish on Flats Minnows and Trout Killers, but the larger fish ate the Mullet fished as slowly as we could possibly fish it. Any time we slowed down with a tail the sand trout crashed the party. The best news of late, aside from the redfish bite, is that we are starting to catch more trout in the 19 to 24 inch class. When the lake is reasonably calm and you can make more than one cast to a given spot, both 5-inch tails and the Mullet have worked well. I have been fishing braid for several years now and I still

cuss the wind knots and backlashes that instantly snap your leader and launch your lure out of sight, but it is invaluable when fishing in rough water or a strong current. The zero-stretch factor compensates for any slack line and strikes that would go undetected with monofilament are resoundingly transmitted back to the rod tip. I fished with a sixteen year old youngster last week that was thoroughly frustrated prior to switching to a reel filled with Power Pro braid. He said that he never got the first strike until he switched to the braid, but that was not the case at all. He just wasn’t feeling the bites. Before the day was over he was not only a braid convert, but won all of the family bets waged over breakfast. While on the subject of fishing tackle, I finally have a definitive answer as to the status of Laguna Rods. Chris Williamson and Sarge Upchurch

were the two most prominent faces associated with the popular custom rods prior to the widely discussed financial and service problems that led to a re-structuring of sorts. When all was said and done, Sarge started his own company, Sarge Customs, and is in the process of building a very sound business from the ground up. He is based out of Pt. Arthur and has already expanded the number of actions and models he and Chris originally offered at Laguna. Chris took over the reins at Laguna and is also in full production mode once again with the same models that made them so popular. “Rather than expand our line-up at this point,” says Williams, “we are sticking with our top sellers, upgrading components, and regaining the confidence of our customers. I personally elected to stay with Laguna, but the bottom

line is that several of the more popular models of both companies are the exact same rods. They are expensive rods, but they will make a difference in your catching. They are phenomenally light, durable and built to your personal specifications including the color of the wraps, style of eyes and grips. You cannot go wrong with either company. Sarge Upchurch will be more than happy to talk with you via the phone and while the model names of his rods are different and more extensive with the exception of the Latis Stick, he also has a match for those in the Laguna line up. Once convinced that I could get the same quality rod through either company I chose to stay with Laguna only because I have known Chris for so long. I don’t think that you can go wrong with either rod company or either owner as they are both committed to building you the best rod you ever used and standing behind their product!

redfish. Shiny fiberglass cruisers masquerading as bay boats are stocked up with an array of tackle that would make most anglers drool with envy. It is the same scenario in each bay system any and every place you look, yes all those hot summer days with limited action will soon be past memories because the action is rather than the weather is heating up. It is incredibly easy to get caught up in the chaos that is fall fishing, running and gunning from one school of fish to another as if they will suddenly disappear if you do not reach them in time. I must admit that I am absolutely in love with this style of fishing, probably due to the fact that I take a “fly by the seat of your

pants” approach to most things so this is right up my alley. While it is true that I have had some wonderful times fishing like this, I have had even better times sharing it with kids. This time of the year is tailor made for taking a child fishing, weather and overall conditions could not be better for introducing a young angler to the world of fishing. Now some folks hear the stories about chasing the birds in the lake and that sounds great, except maybe they do not have a big boat that allows them to do this kind of fishing. There are very few places better to fish right now than the Sabine and Neches rivers along with the intercoastal canal. Various locations along the deep chan-

nels can provide hours worth of fish catching opportunities for folks to take their kids and experience some tremendous fishing without having to worry about the wind and also not having to run too far. On most occasions during the fall months you can take a kid out and anchor up along the river channel or at the mouth of most bayous and have no problem getting bit. Small redfish are wandering all over the river banks and hungry trout will readily eat shad or shrimp fished on the bottom. Try plenty of spots until you find a concentration of fish, then anchor and enjoy. This style of fishing coupled with the numbers of fish in our area during the fall months are just perfect for introducing a young angler to the sport of fishing, who knows you just may get a lifetime fishing buddy out of the deal.

Texas Book Festival set for Oct. 27-28 The Texas Book Festival schedule, announced today and available online at www.texasbookfestival.org, is the largest in the Festival’s 17year history, with more than 250 authors plus live music, cooking demonstrations, children’s activities, the return of the Lit Crawl Austin event, and more, Oct. 27 and 28 in and around the State Capitol. The Festival is free and open to the public. “The Festival is a place to engage in ideas, and to have a dialogue that both reflects and influences our culture,” says Lidia Agraz, Texas Book Festival executive director. Some of the themes that stand out in this year’s Festival include fictional families falling apart, social justice, broadcast journalism, immigration, the cities of Paris, France and Dallas, Texas; and several topics related to war, Agraz says. Headlining non-fiction authors will be in the C-SPAN/Book TV Tent on Congress between Ninth and 10th streets. Jeffrey Toobin, a bestselling author, staff writer for The New Yorker, and senior legal analyst for CNN, kicks off the Festival at 10 a.m. Saturday in the House Chamber at the State Capitol. The weekend’s vibrant lineup of more than 250 authors includes Cheryl Strayed, Tony Danza, Robert Caro, Junot Díaz, Jewel, Jeffrey Toobin, Zane, Tim O’Brien, Justin Cronin, and David Maraniss. Headlining authors also include Naomi Wolf, Chris Elliott, Stephen Tobolowsky, Bob Balaban, Attica Locke, Damien Echols, Marcia Clark, and Mark Danielewski. News and political junkies can hear from Robert Draper, Kurt Eichenwald, Simon Sebag Montefiore, Rachel L. Swarns, and David Westin. The many engaging panels include A Tribute to Madeleine L’Engle, Literary Death Match, and You Had to Be There: In Search of Unlikely Stories. Back by popular demand is Saturday night’s Lit Crawl Austin, a co-production of the Texas Book Festival, the Litquake Foundation, and Austin’s East Side. Inspired by San Francis-

co’s long-running Lit Crawl (and produced with their participation), Lit Crawl Austin will feature some of America’s most groundbreaking writers onstage at various East Austin venues, talking about their latest books and ideas and signing books. Lit Crawl is a one-of-a-kind jolt to Texas’ readers. Renowned cooking experts from across the nation and here in Texas will be featured in the Texas Book Festival Cooking Tent, sponsored by Central Market, to show off their latest cookbooks, engage in discussions and perform a variety of cooking demonstrations. A few of the top cookbook authors include: Naomi Duguid, author of Burma: Rivers of Flavor; Diane Morgan, author of Roots: The Definitive Compendium with more than 225 Recipes, and Jesse Griffiths, author of Afield: A Chef’s Guide to Preparing and Cooking Wild Game and Fish. The youngest readers will enjoy the Children’s Chapter, sponsored by H-E-B, which includes the Children’s Read Me a Story Tent, the Children’s Entertainment Tent, and the Children’s Activity Tent. From award-winning actor-writer-producer-director Bob Balaban comes Boy or Beast, the first volume in The Creature From the Seventh Grade series. Rebecca Stead, whose newest book is Liar and Spy, will also be a hit with tweens. Authors popular with young children include Chris Gall, author of the Dinotrux books, and Dav Pilkey, author of the cartoon novel Captain Underpants. Children’s entertainment includes Circus Chicken Dog, the Biscuit Brothers, and the McCallum High School Knights of Steel on Saturday; and magician Kent Cummins and singer/ songwriter Walter Tragert on Sunday. The Children’s Activity Tent features fun hands-on projects that kids can take home. The Official Texas Book Festival Mobile App, available later this month, will make it easy to have schedules, maps and the festival experience in the palm of your hand.

• The Record • Week of Wednesday, October 10, 2012

Think Pink Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison Special To The Record October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. From The Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong to the Empire State Building, national monuments will be lit in pink to raise awareness. Why is that necessary? Surely everyone is aware of breast cancer. We do it because one in eight women in the US will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetimes. We do it because the key to beating breast cancer is early detection. We do it because breast cancer is the second-most diagnosed cancer in the US and the fifth leading cause of death among women. And we do it because there is no cure. Every donated cent gets us closer to the goal of a cancer-free world, but this must truly be a collaborative effort. For all the talk of Congressional gridlock, there are areas where bipartisan cooperation not only occurs, it is common. And many of us on both sides of the aisle have worked hard to ensure that cancer awareness gets the attention it demands. In the Senate, I joined my colleague Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) to cosponsor the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP). We know early detection is our best weapon in the fight against women’s cancers, and this program has given millions of disadvantaged women access to vitally important cancer screenings. In 1998, Senator Dianne Feinstein, (D-CA) and I came together as original proponents of the Breast Cancer Research Stamp. Since then, more than 903 million stamps have been sold, raising over $72 million to fight breast cancer. And in April, 2011, I introduced Senate Resolution 144, supporting early detection for breast cancer and calling on the Senate to remain committed to ensuring access to lifesaving breast cancer screening and treatment. The following May, I again joined Senator Feinstein on the bipartisan Senate Cancer Coalition, to introduce a Senate Resolution designating May as National Cancer Research Month. There has also been a tremendous role played by private and not-for-profit sectors. A good measure of the awareness-raising is due to the work by the Susan G Komen Foundation, which started the “Walk for the Cure” and which is responsible for the iconic pink ribbons. The foundation was started by Nancy Brinker after her sister, Susan Komen, died of breast cancer. Nancy promised to do everything she could to help ensure breast cancer never claimed another victim. The dedication of the Komen Foundation and its workers has increased awareness, which has led to more early detection and better survival rates and more research. Breast cancer can hit anyone. Early detection is crucial, and self-examination and mammograms are key. And while there is no guaranteed prevention, there are some lifestyle habits that can lower risk, including maintaining a healthy weight, exercise, limiting alcohol intake and not smoking. Genetics can also play a part – ask your doctor for more information.

Mouton receives promotion

Orange native Brian Cloyd Mouton was recently promoted to the rank of Chief Petty Officer in the United States Navy. Brian began his Naval career in 2002.

His first ship assignment was the USS Donald Cook. The years that followed Brian completed his degree in Electronics and Instrumentation, completed the U.S. Military Apprenticeship Program Certification, was Command

Finding a cure will take all hands on deck. Better treatment outcomes for women (and men) depend on awareness and investment. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I hope everyone will commit to steps that can increase early detection for themselves and their loved ones and give what they can to the national and international effort. As anyone whose life has been affected by breast cancer can attest, the possibility of a cure is worth every penny. Hutchison, a Republican, is the senior U.S. senator from Texas. hutchison. senate.gov
