scholarship. The two $1,000 scholarships will be given in the name of WOS quarterback Reg-gie Garrett Jr. and longtime Newton head football coach Curtis Barbay. Garrett and Bar-bay both passed away during the 2010 football season.

Worster put Bridge City on the map in the late 1960s as fullback in Darrell Royal’s famed “Wishbone” offense. With Worster in the backfield the Longhorns won back-to-back NCAA National Football Championships (1969-70). Worster was a three time All-Southwest Conference selec-tion who finished 4th in the Heisman Trophy voting for the 1970 season. He was also voted 1970 Texas Amateur Athlete of the Year by the Texas Sports Writers Association. Before then he was a Bridge City Cardinal who was named a high school All-American his senior year following the 1966 Class-3A State Football Championship.

“Coach Foreman thought it would be a great idea if each team had an honorary captain that represented some of the lo-cal state championship teams,” said Josh Smalley, Bridge City offensive coordinator and a coach for the East Team All-Stars,“It didn’t take long for Steve Worster to come to mind to represent the East Team, which Bridge City is a part of.”

With Worster on the sideline three generations of Cardinals will be represented. Smalley was also a Cardinal football play-er in the early 1990s. The third generation is Bridge City foot-ball all-stars Shane Stankus and Thomas Luce who graduated last week.

Orangefield trainer, Melissa Pipins was selected as trainer for the East Team that includes Bobcat all-stars Josh Shores and Logan Moss.

Representing the West Orange-Stark Mustangs is Justin Petry, Wilson Washington and Donavan Rubin. All-Star play-ers from Vidor are Joe Reed and Blake Tinkle. Representing the Little Cypress-Mauriceville Bears is Zach Sonnier. Dew-yeville’s Trey Craft is also a player for the East Team all-stars.

According to Smalley players are nominated by their coach-es. Class 5A teams can nominate three players, Class 4A and Class 3A teams, two players, and Class 2A, Class 1A and pri-vate schools get one player. The coaching staff is selected by the SETCA and the East/West coaches select the players.

The East Team is made up of players from Hardin-Jefferson, Nederland, Jasper, Little Cypress-Mauriceville, Evadale, KIr-byville, Silsbee, Beaumont Legacy, Woodville, Port Arthur Memorial, Orangefield, Deweyville, Newton, Warren, Sabine Pass, Buna, Port Neches-Groves, Hamshire-Fannett, West Or-ange-Stark, Bridge City, Beaumont Central and High Island.

Cheerleading squads for the East Team is the West Orange-Stark and Buna cheerleaders. The Little Cypress-Mauriceville Honey Bears drill team will perform for East.

Head coaches for the East Team are all from Nederland. Larry Neumann is head coach, Monte Barrow is offensive coordina-tor and Delbert Spell is defensive coordina-tor. Also on the coaching staff with Smalley are Kip McFarland of P.A. Memorial, Wil-liam Mallette, Deweyville, Bradley Allison, Beaumont Central and Justin Charrier, High Island.

The West Team is made up of players from Anahuac, Splendora, Coldspring, Cleveland, West Brook, Hardin, Huffman, Chester, Ozen, Diboll, Lumberton, Cleveland, Liber-ty, East Chambers, Barbers Hill, Crosby, Colmesneil, Kountze, Tarkington, Kelley, West Hardin and Livingston.

West Team Honarary Captain is Mickey Washington.

Practise began Tuesday at Lamar Univer-sity. Seating for the East Team is on the East side of the Lamar’s Provost/Umphrey Stadi-um on Saturday. Tickets will be available at the gate.

ment Services department looked into what Louisiana and the counties surrounding Orange County are doing when it comes to fireworks.

Louisiana currently has a state wide burn ban in effect and while it is not illegal to sell fireworks in Louisiana, it is illegal to set any kind of firework off.

Hardin County placed a ban on the selling and use of aerial fireworks (skyrockets with sticks and missiles with fins) last week.

Jefferson County addressed the same issue yesterday, but a decision had not been announced by the time Orange County’s Commissioners’ Court began.

Jasper and Newton Counties were looking into banning the use and sale of fireworks all together.

“There’s two ends of the spectrum,” Kelley said.Under local government code 418.108, the county can ban

the use and sale fireworks of any kind. An emergency declara-tion that’s good for 60 hours, signed by the County Judge, Carl Thibodeaux, goes to the governor’s office and the governor would look to the forest service to see if the conditions for an emergency declaration are met by the county. If the county met those conditions, the governor would return a letter that would extend the restriction of all fireworks from 60 hours until the Commissioners rescinded the emergency declaration. The Commissioners would need to call a special court session seven days later to approve the declaration.

Another option would be under local government code 352, which allows the county to ban the sale and use of aerial fire-works (skyrockets with sticks and missiles with fins). In order to enact a ban on aerial fireworks, the county would have to make a decision before June 15 and the order can only be lifted once the county falls under the 575 mark on the KBDI scale.

The decision to even mention restricting the use of certain fireworks was a hard one to make. Thibodeaux said that in his 16 years as county judge, he’s never prohibited the use of fire-works. Many who own fireworks stands are concerned because for some, that’s part of their family income.

“Nobody really wants to do this,” Thibodeaux said. “That’s like taking apple pie and vanilla ice cream away from the Fourth of July. The key factor is that we’ve got some real dangers out there. One major flame up and people can lose their homes. We can’t depend on people popping off fireworks in a safe area. We need to try to do what we can to minimize the hazard we’re be-ing faced with on the Fourth of July.“

The fact of the matter is that Orange County is in a severe drought and would need at least ten inches of rain over the span of four or five days to neutralize the effect now. Many of the state’s resources to fight wildfires are actually in other states helping with their natural disasters. County officials felt that restrictions needed to be placed.

Most of the Commissioners were in favor of the Judge sign-ing an emergency declaration that falls under local government code 418; however, Commissioners David Dubose (Precinct 1) and Jody Crump (Precinct 4) will be out of town next Monday.

The Commissioners decided to pass a restriction under local government code 352 for the time being; however Precinct 3 Commissioner Owen Burton was against it. If the County Judge feels that a complete ban on all fireworks is necessary, he can sign the emergency declaration at any time.

Orangefield Homecoming Saturday

HISTORICAL HEAT AND DROUGHTThe temperature reached 105 and was over 100 for

the first five days in June. What makes it worse is that it hasn’t rained in months and the wind has gone down to a zero breeze. Monday a little rain finally came. Some folks got up to a couple of inches including a good amount of hail. Most of us got only .5 of an inch, enough to wash the dust off of the leaves. We could see the dark clouds to the south and east of us and prayed it would come our way but all we got was the over spray. For 38 years I’ve been on this place and I can assure you it’s the worse drought in all of those years. In 1953, the drought was re-ally bad but at that time I had other interest than the weather. I wasn’t concerned about me and Cox’s gardens burning up, however, I do recall the big cracks in the soil and not a blade of green grass anywhere. I believe if we don’t get a good rain soon we will see that situation again. It will take a couple of Gulf storms to make up 19 inches of rain that we’re running below normal. We’re happy for the gardeners who got rain Monday though. City water just won’t cut it when it comes to growing a crop. It keeps stuff alive, works some on flowers but tomatoes, cucum-bers and other veggies needs a little help from above. Green tomatoes will stay that way for a month on the stalk, etc. Our friend Judge Derry Dunn has eight plants and grows the most beautiful tomatoes I’ve seen and plenty of them. His secret is condensed water. A couple of gallons a day from the air conditioner works as good as God’s water on four plants per day. Ironically Judge Derry doesn’t eat tomatoes and that’s all right, more for me. Well, Cox’s and my only hope it seems is to go his fa-mous Indian rain dance on a full moon, which is next Wednesday. We will try to keep our crop alive until then. Sometimes his dance takes another three or four days to bring on the rain. He learned the dance from the Indians as a boy in Juaquin. Come September, he turns 87 and sometimes he forgets some of the steps and the dance doesn’t work. He’s been practicing and believes he has it perfected. I’m betting on him and expecting a good rain sometime in the next 10 to 15 days. For Cox and I, grow-ing crops long ago replaced our interest in girls. Someday you’ll see that garden water is more important than bath water.*****I’ve gotta move on. Come along, it won’t do you no harm.

CAN CONGRESSIONAL REDISTRICTING PASS

THE COURTSThe Texas Senate adopted a new congressional map

Monday. Texas has added four new districts. The plan goes to the Texas House for consideration. Democrats have accused Sen. Kel Seliger, chairman of the Senate Redistricting Committee, of dividing districts to maxi-mize Republican opportunities to elect members of Congress in violation of the Voting Rights Act. It was noted that Republicans generally garner 55 percent of the vote. The new plan is designed to elect Republicans to 72 percent. Sixty-five percent of the state’s growth over the last 10 years is comprised of Latinos, yet the Senate plan gerrymanders more than nine million Latinos, to make sure they have no more electoral opportunity than they did back in 1991. Under the Voting Rights Act, the United States Department of Justice Federal Court Panel must review Texas’ redistricting and verify that minority voting is not diluted by the new boundaries. I haven’t seen the new map, however I understand the Senate’s de-mographics to help one Party has crazy drawn districts. From what I know, the Orange County district is far bet-ter than the first proposed map. At least the county is whole. A new congressman will have to be elected if this plan stands. Kevin Brady was taken care of by carving him a district from the Woodlands north. That doesn’t pit him against another incumbent. The map was ap-proved 18-12, right down Party lines. From what I know, we were gerrymandered to the point it would be almost impossible to elect one of our own. Redistricting is just one more display of the self-enrichment and consolida-tion of power of those in power.

TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME

12 Years Ago-1999The Orangefield nine and ten year old girl’s Little

Dribblers all star basketball team is headed to Hobbs, New Mexico for the national basketball championship June 9 through June 12. The little all stars that make Or-ange County proud are Natalie Lavergne, Kim Little, Wyntier Sheppard, Kayla Stone, Alyssa Deramus, Kay-lyn Little, Kristy Sanders, Jessica Shores, Heather Woods, Paige Roy, Meaghan Granger and Sara Bonds. Coaches are Todd Shores and Keith Sanders.*****Little Cypress resident Lisa Roberts was surprised when she heard she had won a new 1999 Jeep Wrangler in a state-wide drawing sponsored by Market Basket and Coca Cola. Lisa, a deputy county clerk for Karen Jo Vance, stopped at Market Basket to pick up a gallon of milk on her way home from work. In a hurry, she didn’t stuff the ballot box, just signed up once in her name and once in her husband Randy’s name. Son Ricky, 14 years old, hopes his dad doesn’t wear the Jeep out before he get his

license in two years. However, the Roberts plan to sell it. They will pay the taxes on the Jeep, valued at $17,400, and keep the rest.*****Ms. Agnes Bourgeois will turn 92 on June 17.*****For 18 years in a row, H.D. and Pat Pate has made a trip to Pensacola, Fla. the first week in June. In fact, they just returned. (Editor’s note: I don’t believe the Pate’s do that anymore. In fact, they don’t do much any-more but he still works as a lawyer and is available for hire.)*****Capt. Bill Lathrop resigns from the Orange County Sheriff ’s office. He will enter private business.*****Everybody’s buddy, Lyle Overman, suffered a couple of heart attacks while at a deer lease and is in a San Antonio hospital. Wife Janice is by his side. (Editor’s note: Lyle survived and continued to make his music. As of late he has been performing at Peggy’s on the Bayou.)*****Roy Dunn’s annual birthday bash was held at his bayou property, “Dunn’s Bluff.” Robert’s Market ca-tered a big seafood outing Friday night and Robert and Freda served barbecue and all the trimmings at Satur-day’s big party. Roy’s 96 year old Aunt Eve, Aunt Mae and his Mom attended, danced to the music and had a great time. (Editor’s note: They have all passed away since and Roy is too old or too much of a wimp to fight the June heat anymore. He’ not nearly as tuff as his elder folks were.)*****The 16th annual Gulf Coast Jam is coming June 12. The main inductee is Bo Diddley, born Ellas Bates McDaniel, who got his start on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and in 1987 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Z.Z. Top.

A FEW HAPPENINGS

I knew something wasn’t right and Con. Weiner was lying when he told Wolf Blitzer that he didn’t know if that was his wiener or not. Every wiener is hand grown and usually named and any guy would recognize his in a crowd. Right then I was convinced he wasn’t being truth-ful. Monday he admitted it to the world that sure nuff ’ it was his wiener. Public officials are having trouble keeping their pants zipped. Sen. David Vitter, Con. Chris Lee, Sen. John Ensign and a host of others, republicans and democrats alike.*****Scott Pelley anchored CBS Evening News Monday as the new host replacing Katie Couric. I watched his first broadcast and liked him. He’s up against some tough competition though, Brian Williams, NBC and Diane Sawyer, ABC. Couric will join ABC to host a daytime show. She says her show will offer a mix of celeb-rity interviews and topical talk, combining elements of Today and the Oprah Winfrey Show. Like others, Cou-ric hopes to be Oprah’s successor.*****If your having air conditioning, heater or any problems around your place, I know a guy who can help. Hank Bailey knows his stuff and doesn’t rob you. I called him at 474-1060 with what I thought was a major problem and he fixed it in a few min-utes. Now days sometimes it’s hard to find a good honest repairman.**********Country star Trace Adkins and wife Ronda lost their home in Brentwood, Tenn. to fire. Trace wasn’t home, the family got out safely but everything was lost. Adkins owns a farm next to our friends, Glenda and Paul Dyer, near Nashville.***** You know it’s going to be a bad day when you wake up with a headache, drag your-self out of the house and the first person you run into is “Cochise” Shockley, the chief of Call, Texas, not Call Junction. The Indians are from Call, the Junction has a different tribe of folks. “Cochise” and major Brad Frye, those two guys together are not good for an aching head. Fortunately I ran into some sympatric folks later. Capt. Dickie Colburn came by and he’s really a nice guy. He stopped by to offer Mark and the Historical Museum group his help in anyway they think he can help.*****Pretty Patsy Peck brought by a big bowl of her famous banana pudding. It always amazes me how some guys can get such nice wives.*****I received a program of the 46th Academy of Country Music Awards compliments of The-resa Hearne George, a Nashville resident, long involved in the country music industry. The Bridge City queen is the daughter of Elaine and Ray Hearne. We heard The-resa was in town briefly visiting grandmother Inez Hearne and family. Theresa is one of our special people.*****You can expect multiple lawsuits to come fol-lowing the end of the special session in Austin. One suit coming from school districts is due to the state not allow-ing for districts to have meaningful discretion to spend

the money raised through local school property taxes. In turn that makes it state property taxes. The Texas State Constitution prohibits a state property tax. Rather than dip into the “Rainey Day” fund, school districts in the state have had funds cut by $4 billion. The state, in essence, is saying, “ use property taxes to make up what we took away from you.” That will be only one of many suits.*****Quote of the week comes from Texas Sen. Leti-cia Van DePutte during a debate of a bill requiring a woman seeking an abortion to have a sonogram at least 24 hours before the procedure. The senator said, “Texas is going to shrink government until it fits into a woman’s uterus.”*****In class 4-A baseball the Brenham Cubs again headed back to the state tournament. They beat Magnolia 10-0 in five innings. Coaching alone is not the reason Brenham wins over and over again. That would be a good study of cultures, genes, heritage, bloodlines, etc.*****Special folks celebrating birthdays are Walter Riedal and Chris Riedal, both will see another year roll around.***Ben Perry is a year older and looking forward to he and Marlene’s new baby girl, expected around June 17. Our good buddy Shirley Zimermon celebrated June 7.***FaceBook friends having birthdays are Sarah Bell, June 9, Linda Arnold, June 10, former sheriff Huel Fon-tenot and April Denning celebrate on June 11 and Paul Burch gets older on June 13. Happy birthday to all.*****The Wednesday Lunch Bunch dined at Novrozsky’s last week. Uncle Jim hosted a surprise birthday party for Roy. He had a good weekend also. Friday night he again won a first place award from the Press Club for his “Down Life’s Highway” column titled “Mom, Youngswitch Road and the little shack that built me” and Saturday, his sisters and in-laws and the family threw a birthday bash for him. The Lunch Bunch will dine at Robert’s this Wednesday and back to Novrozsky’s next week. Everyone is always wel-come. *****Have you heard Sarah Palin’s version of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. It was to alert the British that “the British are coming.”*****Sen. John Edwards was in-dicted for violating finance campaign law. No one has ever been accused of that before. No one ever charged with this violation. It’s a historic case. He was given a mil-lion dollars by 100 year old, Mrs. Mellon, to help hide his affair and the fact that he fathered a child. My best bet is that he won’t be prosecuted. Sen. Vitter, in Louisiana, and Sen. John Ensign did far worse and were never charged. It will cost him a bunch but I don’t see him as the first person ever convicted on campaign violation charges.***** The first annual Crawfish Fest will be held Saturday, June 11, 9 a.m. till, at the Bridge City Trade Days location, Live Cajun music with Dallas Street Ram-blers, Cajun Harmony and the Cow Bayou Ramblers. Over 4,000 pounds of crawfish will be available, also many arts and crafts booths. Everything Cajun. Bring a chair and come pass a good time.*****The City of Bridge City is doing a nice job with the streets. About 90 miles of streets are being resurfaced. A much needed improve-ment for the city. Commissioner Dubose says the county will resurface Roundbunch in the county, all the way to Hwy. 1007. Both the city and county work is being funded with Ike money. Dubose is in hopes of being able to do more streets if money becomes available.*****The organi-zation, “South East Texas Supporting Our Troops,” is putting on a benefit show at Honky Tonk, 2389 Hwy. 96 South, Silsbee, Saturday, 11. a.m. to 5 p.m. Fun for every-one, 50/50 bike show, great music, plenty for the kids to do, raffles, auctions, etc.*****Megan Broussard, of Beau-mont, seems to be milking the Weiner ordeal for all she can. Even a special on FOX News, that has a keen interest in the New York Democratic congressman.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK“Tee Cuz” Dartez was on a two-day drunk since his

wife Mary Ann run him off. He was sitting at da bar at Tee-boy’s feeling sorry for hisself and downing one beer after anutta wen two of his friends joined him. A couple of hours went by and “Tee Cuz” him hadn’t left da bar for nuttin. In a little while he discovered his pants dem were wet. He look to his right and axe, “Clo-vis, did you spill some beer on me Hanh?”

“Mais no, Clovis answer, I don’t do dat me.”Den “Tee Cuz” him turn to his utta buddy, Sostan,

and he say, “Sostan, did you throw some of you beer on me?”

Sostan answer, “Why would I do dat me and waste my beer hanh?”

“Tee Cuz” tink about dat him and he finally say, “Well, I’m all wet me, all da way down my pants, I guess it must have been an inside job.”

C’EST TOUT

Well, I’ve come to the end of the line one more time. I’m thankful to the Man for allowing me enough brainpower to scribble a few lines. I know someday it’ll go, but for now, I’m blessed to still be able to do this show. ***** I didn’t intend to comment on the Veteran’s Office prob-lem but from the e-mails I’ve received I guess it’s expect-ed. All I’ll say is that for many years, going back to when Roger Walker was VA Officer, there was a cancer at that office. I’ve spoken with former employees, going back over 15 years and I hate that Jerry Childers is taking heat for something that wasn’t his doing. However, it was Jer-ry’s duty to cure the problems and he didn’t get it done. As a vet himself Jerry cared and had compassion for veterans and their widows. He personally worked hard and long hours visiting veterans at their homes, even nights and weekends. In the meantime, problems mount-ed in the office and he failed to correct them. Commis-sioner’s Court did the right thing in cleaning house. It should have been done a longtime ago. Judge Thibodeaux and the Court are dedicated to seeing that the veterans get the best service possible, as expeditiously as possible. Jerry is a retired veteran and he’ll be okay. He is a good guy and that could very well have been his problem.*****Gotta shut down. Thanks for your time. Take care and God bless.

Stark Museum of Art to host Audubon ExplorationsThe Stark Museum of Art is proud to sponsor

acclaimed author, naturalist and performer Bri-an “Fox” Ellis as he portrays the famous artist and naturalist John James Audubon (1785-1851) for two special events: Flights of Fancy:  Eve-ning Bird Stroll and Adventures with Audubon. On Wednesday, June 22, between the hours 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., Flights of Fancy will be at Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Na-ture Center, which is a partner in the project. On Thursday, June 23, at 6:30 p.m., Adventures with Audubon will be at the Lutcher Theater. Both of these events are family friendly and free to the public.

 Since 1980, Ellis has been touring the world as a storyteller, researcher and speaker on en-vironmental concerns at regional and interna-tional conferences, such as the International Wetlands Conservation Conference and the National Association of Gifted Educators Con-ference. His critically acclaimed performance, Adventures with Audubon, was recently hon-ored by the Illinois Humanities Council Road Scholars Program.

  On June 22, performer and author Brian “Fox” Ellis will be at Shangri La Botanical Gar-dens and Nature Center, located at 2111 West Park Avenue in Orange, for the Flights of Fan-cy: Evening Bird Stroll. During this  “come and go”  program, visitors will enjoy the sights and sounds as thousands of birds fly to Ruby Lake to roost for the night. Shangri La volunteers will guide visitors to four different stations on the Stroll, which will take approximately one hour.   Ellis will be at Shangri La’s state-of-the-art bird blind portraying John James Audubon and sharing stories of Audubon’s outdoor ad-ventures.  At the other three stations, visitors will watch a twelve-minute segment from the

film John James Audubon: Drawn From Nature, meet Maxine, the resident Barred Owl, and hear presentations from the Stark Museum of Art and Shangri La educators about Audubon and the birds he identified.  

 On June 23, Ellis will be at Lutcher Theater, 707 West Main Avenue in Orange, performing Adventures with Audubon.  In this internation-ally acclaimed show, Ellis portrays Audubon us-ing direct quotations from the artist’s journals, essays and letters.  This is a family friendly per-formance which features storytelling with im-ages of Audubon’s art. Combining humor with meticulous research, Ellis presents a compel-ling image of the famous artist who finished a task never accomplished before: drawing every bird in North America.  The performance will last approximately seventy-five minutes and will be presented without intermission.  Doors to the Theater will open at 6:00 p.m. to allow for seating prior to the 6:30 p.m. performance.

  After the performance at Lutcher Theater, the Stark Museum of Art, located at 712 Green Avenue in Orange, will host a book-signing and reception with refreshments. Ellis is the author of numerous publications including The Web at Dragonfly Pond and Learning from the Land:  Teaching Ecology through Stories and Activi-ties.  Currently on view at the Museum are se-lections from the Museum’s extensive collec-tion of Audubon materials, including a volume of the artist’s own copy of the double elephant folio of The Birds of America, pattern prints and a rare pastel drawing from Audubon’s early period.

  “We are delighted to provide two different programs using the talent and knowledge of Brian Ellis.  At the Bird Stroll, he will give a brief presentation in the outdoors, in the same

way that Audubon loved to be among birds in nature.  The following evening, Ellis will give a stage performance exploring how Audubon presented himself and his art, followed by the opportunity to see extraordinary examples of Audubon’s artistry at the Museum,” comment-

ed Sarah Boehme, Museum Director.   For more info, call 409.670.9113 or visit

Cooking with Katherine: Stuffed jalapeños

Crawfish Jambalaya

Boiling crawfish is a simple thing. All you need is a heavy pot of water that is deep enough to cover the crawfish at least four inches. Drop the craw-fish into the hot water and allow to set five minutes in the uncovered pot. Drain the water and crawfish is ready to prepare to your liking.

Today, I have a good craw-fish dish for you.

1 pound peeled crawfish tails

4 cups cooked rice4 tablespoons crawfish fat2 pieces pimento, diced4 cloves garlic, finely

chopped1 cup chopped onion1/2 cup chopped celery1/2 cup chopped bell pepper1/2 cup oil or 1/4 oleo1/2 cup green onion tops

add onions, celery, bell pepper and garlic in heavy pot. Cook in

uncovered pot on medium heat until onions are wilted. Season highly with salt, black pepper and red pepper. Cook in uncovered pot for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add crawfish. Continue cook-ing and stirring another 10 minutes or until crawfish are almost cooked. Dissolve corn-starch in 1/2 cup water and add to mixture, cook another five minutes. Mix ingredients with cooked rice. Add green onions, parsley, and pimento. Mix again. Makes enough for 6.

Father’s Day Breakfast

A few steps to staying healthyEat a variety of nutrient-rich

foods. You need more than 40 different nutrients for good health, and no single food sup-plies them all. Your daily food selection should include bread and other whole-grain prod-ucts; fruits; vegetables; dairy products; and meat, poultry, fish and other protein foods. How much you should eat de-pends on your calorie needs. Use the Food Guide Pyramid and the Nutrition Facts panel on food labels as handy refer-ences.

Enjoy plenty of whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Surveys show most Americans don’t eat enough of these foods. Do you eat 6-11 servings from the bread, rice, cereal and pasta group, 3 of which should be whole grains? Do you eat 2-4 servings of fruit and 3-5 serv-

ings of vegetables? If you don’t enjoy some of these at first, give them an-other chance. Look through cookbooks for tasty ways to prepare unfamiliar foods.

Maintain a healthy weight. The weight that’s right for you depends on many factors including your sex, height, age and hered-ity. Excess body fat increases your chances for high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, some types of cancer and other illnesses. But be-ing too thin can increase your risk for osteoporosis, men-strual irregularities and other health problems. If you’re con-stantly losing and regaining weight, a registered dietitian can help you develop sensible

eating habits for successful weight

management. Regular exercise is also im-portant to maintain-ing a healthy weight.

Eat moderate por-tions. If you keep por-

tion sizes reasonable, it’s easier to eat the foods you

want and stay healthy. Did you know the recommended serv-ing of cooked meat is 3 ounc-es, similar in size to a deck of playing cards? A medium piece of fruit is 1 serving and a cup of pasta equals 2 servings. A pint of ice cream contains 4 servings. Refer to the Food Guide Pyramid for informa-tion on recommended serving sizes. Eat regular meals. Skip-ping meals can lead to out-of-control hunger, often resulting in overeating.

B‘THE RECORD’ HOMETOWN HIGHLIGHTS

Making of theAll-Orange CountyBaseball Team . . . 

In 2011 three of our five Orange County teams made it to the state playoffs.  Not only does Dist. 20-4A and Dist. 21-3A always play in

one of the toughest districts, but it has proven time after time that both districts are part of the strongest regions in the state.

Starting with early season scrimmages, tournaments and pre-district games, the teams prepared for battle on

the field. The Record “Hometown Highlights” captured many great moments that made this season extraordinary and memorable. The Re-

cord newspapers and therecordlive.com shared the moments throughout the season.

In support of our Orange County baseball programs, we are honored to announce The Re-cord 2011 All-Orange County Baseball Team. The selections in no way minimize the indi-vidual contributions of every Orange County baseball player that stepped between the lines in 2011. Orange County’s players made this another great season. They all should be com-mended for their contributions to representing Orange County in an outstanding season of

baseball.The LC-M Bears and the Vidor Pirates placed

third and fourth in the always tough 20-4a dis-trict. The Pirates were beaten by Goose Creek Memorial in a three game series 2-10, 5-4, and 4-7. The LC-M Bears beat Baytown Lee in a one game winner take all 2-0, but lost a three game series against Montgomery 10-8, 1-3, and 6-10.

The Bridge City Cardinals had a first round bye, and then they beat Smithville in a three

game series 5-7, 5-3, 10-2. The Cardinals then swept Giddings in a best of three 8-3, 4-1, before being swept by Robinson in the Regional Semi-finals 1-8, 12-13.

As for our top nominees, the Record picked LC-M’s Kody Smith and Bridge City’s Forrest Zoch as Co-MVP, with Bridge City taking the offensive, defensive, and new comer of the year. MVP was a tough choice and that is why the Record came up with Co-MVP. What Kody Smith and Forrest Zoch represent to their teams is not hard to see. Both players played a huge role in why their teams made the playoffs. Take them off the team, and it would have been a different story.

Mitchel Hubbard of Bridge City takes the Of-fensive Player of the Year. With his batting av-erage, speed and threat to go deep at any time makes the opposing pitchers and coaches think about how to pitch to him. Hubbard along with Zoch led Orange County in the long ball category with nine home runs.

Matt Menard of Bridge City was selected as the Defense Player of the Year.

Behind the plate there is no one better in the area. His blocking skills, throwing ability and the way he works with his pitching staff, plus his work ethic make him a thorn in the side for all opposing teams.

Bryce Sampere of Bridge City was selected as the Newcomer of the Year. Sampere stepped in as a sophomore and proved early that he is a main stay in the Cardinal line up. Sampere took over at second base and made several key defensive plays, but the main thing that got coaches and teams’ attention was the way he came in and hit the baseball. The kid can flat out hit.

Orange County’s baseball teams are blessed to have five top notch coaches. What is incredible about our Orange County coaches is the knowl-edge they have for the game. They all have differ-ent styles, which is fun to watch and they all bring out the best in their team.

This year’s Coach of the Year honor goes to Bridge City’s Chad Landry. Coach Landry has been at Bridge City for three years. Each year the Cardinals have reached the Regional Semi-Final round. As we know Coach Landry is proud of his teams, but he is not satisfied. Most teams and coaches would love to have this accomplishment on their resume. With a district championship, a trip to the regional semi- final and an overall record of 21-12-1, makes Coach Landry an easy choice for Coach of the Year.

I would like to take this time to thank all Or-ange County coaches, players, fans, and schools for an exciting baseball season. It is a true bless-ing to be able to go anywhere in the area and find a good game. Orange County’s baseball talent is unbelievable.

So a “BIG THANKS!!!” and hope to see you next year.

4B • The Record • Week of Wednesday, June 8, 2011

This year’s edi-tion of the Houston Astros leaves many long-time followers like myself scratch-ing our noggins, try-ing to figure out whether the team really is bad enough to become the franchise’s first 100-game loser, or is merely yo-yoing good weeks with bad ones.

With the season into its third month, generally some kind of pattern gets estab-lished as to what kind of team the Astros really have this year.

The Astros got off to their usual horrid start and plunged into the cellar very early in the season. And except for just a few days, they have become pretty permanent residents of last place in the National League Central Division’s standings.

The sale of the team by Drayton McLane, Jr. has played a significant role in the demise of the Astros, simply from the standpoint that the annual payroll was pared from $115 million to $82 million to make the deal more attrac-tive to prospective buyer Jim Crane.

Not only has the annual payroll taken a tumble, but the average age of the current roster also has dropped from 32.88 years in 2009 to 28.10 years today.

But with several bargain-basement buys on the 25-man roster, the losses began to pile up early and often. Add the injury bug putting several key players on the disabled list and the wins simply became more difficult to attain.

Carlos Lee dove for a ball and bruised some ribs, putting him on the shelf for a week. The Astros’ five- million –dol-lar closer Brandon Lyon tried pitching with a partially-torn rotator cuff and it cost the team four blown saves in one week before someone realized he was hurt and placed him on the disabled list.

Jason Bourgeois filled in nicely in left field for Lee and

started tearing the cover off the ball. He hiked his batting aver-age all the way up to .407 and then pulled an oblique muscle on his side and was on the disabled list for a month.

Shortstop Clint Barmes, who the Astros got in a trade, started the season on the D/L, but since being activated last month has provided solid de-fense and the power punch the team was looking for when they signed him during the winter.

But the second base situa-tion that the Astros had hoped would be filled by winter ac-quisition Bill Hall didn’t work out nearly as well. This Korner always thought Hall was an undisciplined hitter and last Friday General Manager Ed Wade must have agreed and handed the veteran his release. Hall only hit .224 with two home runs and 55 strikeouts in 147 at-bats.

Luckily, last year’s starter Jeff Keppinger finally came off the D/L and was activated last week. He picked up where he left off last year batting around the .300 mark and Hall be-came expendable quickly and was given his walking papers.

Within a two-day period, the Astros’ Latino battery of lefty-ace Wandy Rodriguez and catcher Humberto Quin-tero both went on the disabled list. Wandy complained of soreness in his left elbow and an MRI confirmed an inflam-mation while Quintero was bowled over on a force-play at home and suffered a high ankle sprain.

Rodriguez was replaced by 20-year old Jordan Lyles, who looked great in his debut against the Chicago Cubbies but very mediocre Sunday at San Diego.

The end result has been an almost daily shuttle of minor leaguers replacing low-sala-ried major leaguers in Hous-ton and then returning to the minors when somebody comes off the disabled list.

Surprisingly, the Astros have been playing decent base-

ball during all the turmoil, but doing it in spurts. Last week they won four games in a row for the first time this season and on the road to boot, but then they lost three in a row at San Diego, still resulting in a 4-3 road trip.

But those three losses to the Padres put their record for 60 games at 23-37, once again putting the Astros on pace to lose 100 games this season.

Unlike last season when a good pitching staff was ham-pered by a poor offense, all parties are below average so far in 2011. The team is aver-aging less than four runs per game which ranks ninth in the NL, starting pitchers’ ERA is 14th, relievers’ ERA is 15th and the fielding is dead last at 16th by committing an average of 0.82 errors per game.

The Astros are 12-8 (.600) when entering the eighth in-ning with a lead while the rest of the National League is a combined 274-37 (.881). Hous-ton has the worst save oppor-tunity conversion in the entire major leagues with 38.9 per cent (7 of 18).

The team returned to Hous-ton for a 10-game home stand after Sunday’s 7-2 loss at San Diego, was off Monday and then began a three-game se-ries with the first-place St. Louis Cardinals Tuesday, four games with Atlanta and three with the Pittsburgh Pirates. They are slated to play 16 games in 16 days.

This week’s major league draft won’t help the Astros for a couple of years down the road, but if Major League Baseball approves the sale of the team BEFORE the trading deadline on July 31, perhaps the new regime can give the team some immediate assis-tance.

KWICKIES…The Rice Owls got bounced from the NCAA Regionals by California 6-3 af-ter committing a season-high five errors in that loss. The Owls (42-21) came into the tourney as the No. 8 national seed after winning the Confer-ence USA regular-season and tournament championships.

Steve Stricker, who had never finished in the top 10 at the PGA Tour Memorial in 11

tries, found the right stuff to win this year’s event at Muir-field Village by one stroke over Matt Kuchar and Brandt Jobe, pocketing a winner’s check for $1,116,000 with rounds of 68-67-69-68—272.

And while on the subject of pro golf, Orange’s Scott Sterling finished tied for 11th place in last weekend’s Mel-wood Prince George’s County Open on the Nationwide Tour with rounds of 69-69-69-66—273. He earned $12,720 for his effort.

It’s good to see that for-mer Lamar University head basketball coach Steve Roc-caforte has landed on his feet and has been hired as an as-sistant coach at the University of South Florida in Tampa. Lamar is probably happy too, because it was responsible for the one year remaining on his $136,500 annual contract when he was fired in mid-March if another school didn’t hire him for the 2011-12 sea-son.

If and when the NFL ends its current lockout of the players, the league should gain another criminal as former New York Giants’ wide receiver Plaxico Burress was released Mon-day from New York’s Oneida Correctional Facility. Burress spent 20 months in prison for illegally carrying and firing a gun at a Manhattan nightclub. His agent Drew Rosenhaus sent an e-mail to the Associat-ed Press stating that his client “will be a top free agent” and “will be signed shortly after the lockout ends.”

JUST BETWEEN US…If the first three games are any indi-cation of things to come in the NBA Championship Finals, it should be an exciting finish. We still like the Miami Heat, only because their president Pat Riley is a long-time home-town friend.

KAZ’S KORNERJOE KAZMARFor The Record

2011 Houston Astros hard to figure out

Continue to 5B

I had just enough time be-fore baseball practice to run over to the public boat launch on Simmons Drive last Tues-day afternoon and the parking lot was already packed when I arrived. While I wouldn’t de-scribe the scene as chaotic, the sense of urgency among the throng of bass fishermen was apparent from a distance.

At least twenty teams were already idling around awaiting the 5:30 blast off, the launches were occupied with everything from bay boats to wrapped bass boats, and one angler was changing out of his nomex and into shorts while trying to eat fried chicken on the fly. All the while, tournament director, Jonathan Simon, was collect-ing entry fees and explaining the rules.

Amazingly enough, it was all running reasonably smoothly considering the fact that Si-mon and Kevin Vaughan had

to log in the last team before they could launch their own boat. It is safe to surmise that even Simon has been surprised by the number of bass fishermen that look forward to the convenient weekly after-work events.

Tuesday afternoon the field had increased to 32 teams and two more teams arrived too late to fish the event. I feel cer-tain that the allure for many of them is the opportunity to scratch their competitive itch without having to burn a weekend and a lot of gas run-ning up to the lakes.

This format is apparently catching on not only here, but on the Neches as well as they also have an afternoon tour-nament over there each week. It is not only challenging, es-pecially considering the time factor, but it also pays well enough for three hours work and an affordable entry fee.

David Aytes and Robert Harrison teamed up to short circuit the Smith-Gothia winning streak. They not only won the event, but posted a very impressive to-tal of 9.78 pounds in the process. Si-mon and Vaughan

managed to take care of all of the clerical work in time to finish second with a solid 5.77 pound catch.

The weigh-in takes place at 8:30, but the pre-tournament activity and blast-off is much more entertaining. There is no doubt that the field will be even larger this week and the winning purse even larger as well. I am especially pleased to see local anglers taking ad-vantage of a great facility and a very special resource.

The wind finally died down this week and we enjoyed a very good run on Sabine Lake.

DICKE COLBURNFor The Record

Daley’s to host grand opening

The Record • Week of Wednesday, June 8, 2011 5B

The big center console fi-nally drifts to a stop in the early morning darkness as the anchor rope comes tight. Soli-tary figures equipped with the latest gear that would make a Navy Seal jealous slide over the gunnels into the warm still water and begin casting in all directions, probing the shal-

low flat for the fish of their dreams.

These anglers have achieved their goal of being at that spe-cial place when the fish begin to feed, the scene is picture perfect and the plan has no flaws. One hefty fish after an-other crushes the offerings of these anglers, topwater plugs disappear in a foamy wash and that is followed by the sound of line stripping off a reel.

A successful wade is a thing of beauty, especially when it’s shared with other anglers who understand what it takes to make it all happen. You don’t just get to a spot and hop out expecting to catch fish, there’s a little more to it than that.

Summer wade fishing is an excellent way to not only catch fish but to catch big fish. Pre dawn excursions are the norm when the temperatures climb high and thunderstorms pop up during the day at a mo-ments notice. The lack of traf-fic on the water combined with

the cooler temper-atures makes wad-ing early and late mighty productive.

The well equipped wade fisherman can make this time on the water more en-joyable as long as they are prepared. Besides the obvious stuff like rod and reel, tackle, and pliers there are some other essentials that the wader should never be without. Proper footwear is a must, sting ray guards or ray proof boots should always be worn when wading during this time of the year.

Having a barb from a ray get lodged in your leg is a very dangerous and painful experience so be sure to wear the guards or boots. Another couple of items you don’t want to be without is some sort of light and a whistle. Both of these items will help keep safe from other boat traffic in the

dark as well as make it easier to signal for help if needed.

Now probably the last thing any fish-erman wants to find in the water swim-ming around with them is a shark, wade fishermen deal with this much

more often than they real-ize because there are plenty of sharks. If you are going to wade you need to be aware of a couple of things when dealing with sharks.

When keeping fish that you have caught be sure to put them on a longer stringer to get them farther away from your body. Dragging dead or bleeding fish around behind you is just an advertisement for sharks and believe me they will find your fish.

Talk with anyone who wades and more than likely they have a story about shark stealing fish off of a stringer or taking the whole thing com-pletely. There are alternatives to stringers; the Do-Net is a Styrofoam float with a net in the middle designed for carry-ing fish while wading.

Other anglers like those on the middle coast have resorted to making floating 5 gallon buckets using foam pool toys to keep the sharks away. What-ever approach you choose be sure to pay close attention and use common sense. Letting a shark take you stringer or a fish off a lure is much cheaper than trying to fight it.

Well now that you are equipped to do battle you can head out on the water with a better understanding of what it takes to make a safe and suc-cessful wade. Use your time in the water to not only fish but to study the bottom in the ar-eas you fish because that will pay dividends in the future. By walking these areas you can learn a great deal about the structure and what actually makes an area hold fish. Get in the water and get with the program.

Colburn from 4B The gulls worked all over

the north end of the lake early and late and the most persis-tent of anglers caught solid trout up to seven pounds. The early part of the week was more user-friendly than the latter part in that keeper trout were easier to catch, but the bite itself was a non-stop deal.

Tails of every color and description accounted for mixed bags of specks, sand trout, gafftop, small blue fish and croaker. Before you turn up your nose at the lowly gafftop you would do well to remember that one of the slimy creatures could pay for a significant portion of your youngster’s education if you have them signed up for the summer long S.T.A.R. tourna-

ment.We weighed three this

week that were just a shade under six pounds, but it usually takes a 7 pound plus fish to win. If you do catch one it is only a short run up Cow bayou to Peggy’s On the Bayou where you can officially weigh your catch.

While tails produced the most action, we easily caught our largest fish on Crazy Croakers and topwaters. The bite is not as fast as it is with tails, but you eliminate a lot of the smaller fish. If things slow down for you and you cannot find any bird activity you are still in the game right now. Simply rig a tail on a two foot leader under a Kwik Cork and start drifting….you will

get bit!While I am much happier

standing in a puddle of sweat

than fishing in the cold or too much wind, the heat has curtailed some of my clients’

enthusiasm this week. For that reason alone you need to pack far more water than you would ever think you could drink, wear a hat and sun glasses and lather up well with a quality sunscreen. I am out there almost every day and I have had very good luck with Bull Frog gel.

My greatest new find for combating the heat, however, has been one of Frogg Togg’s Chill Pads. I have no idea how they work, but they keep you incredibly cool on the hot-test of days. You simply soak them in water for a minute or so, warm or cold, wring them out and they stay refreshingly cool for up to thirty minutes.

I now keep several on my boat, not only for comfort, but because I have had more than

one occasion when it took a towel soaked in the ice chest to cool down an overheated client. The chill pad is far more efficient than any wet towel. Once you have used one, you will not fish or enjoy any other outdoor activity without one for the remainder of the summer!

If you don’t have plans to fish Friday or Saturday make a run over to Daley’s Hunt n Fish on Jade Avenue in Pt. Acres for their Grand Open-ing. There will be hourly drawings for some great prizes and reps from some of the biggest tackle manufac-tures will be on hand. You will be impressed with not only their inventory, but their knowledgeable service as well.

Local anglers nervously await blast off at public boat launch on Simmons Drive.
