Stan Floyd along with employees of American Airboats, Inc. and volunteers work to clean up the water-ways during the River Clean Up Challenge. During their efforts, they collected 18 refrigerators and about 50 tires along with enough trash to fill a 30-yard dumpster.

Stan Floyd, of American Airboats and Air-boat Rides Inc. has a passion for making area waterways a better place to be for not only his business and the community, but for wildlife as well.

During many of his tours, he has listened to tourists and passengers who come to view the natural beauty the area has to offer. But, through this he has heard people talk about the amount of garbage along the waterways and has become increasingly aware the waterways have become excessively littered with debris from past hurricanes and people dumping their unwanted garbage. Recently, he gathered an abandoned refrigerator from the muddy river bank. but knew it could not stop there.

Tired and heartbroken about the condition of the Sabine River, Floyd with the help of oth-ers decided to do something about it. Not only would they work to clean up banks, but also the swamps and local estuaries.

Estuaries form a transition zone between riv-er environments and ocean environments and

are subject to both marine influences, such as tides, waves and the influx of saline water. They have riverine influences, such as flows of fresh water and sediment. The inflows of both sea water and fresh water provide high levels of nutrients in both the water column and sedi-ment which makes estuaries among the most productive natural habitats in the world.

“The litter that plagues our swamps and riv-ers not only adversely affects the local residents but also the local wildlife that has to live

Fishing bringseconomic jolt

One point five million dollars; that is the amount of money first expected

to come into Orange County because of the Bassmaster Elite Series Sabine River Chal-lenge March 14-17. Bobby Fillyaw, director of the Orange County Economic Develop-ment Corp. said the $1.5 million was the amount indicated by an economic impact study that was done in anticipation of the event.

Fillyaw admits that number is very con-servative, because some things have come to light that weren’t even considered when doing the original economic study.

“We really think the $1.5 million that we first thought is probably going to be much, much higher impact than we originally planned,” said Fillyaw.

They did not foresee the multitudes of

fishermen that came to the area prior to Feb. 11 to scope out the lay of the land and hunt for the fishing hotspots before the tournament.

“They were coming in and out for a couple of months, fishing our waters and learn-ing about the river and those kinds of things,” said Fillyaw. “They stayed in our hotels and ate at the restaurants. We didn’t even consider that when we were do-ing the economic impact study.”

The study was also done before many oth-er activities were planned such as the Riv-erfront Festival, free concerts, a free laser show, Art in the Park and more.

Jack Patel of Holiday Inn Express said he believes the economic impact for hotels will be felt in a 50 mile radius. “They’re expect-ing over 10,000 people in one day,” said Pa-tel. “It’s equivalent to a Super bowl,” he said. “It’s that big. It’s enormous.”

Patel feels the impact will be felt for years with all the media attention the tournament will bring to Orange County. “We’re going to be showing the world what we have here.”

“As for the hotels,” said Patel, “we are all excited and they’re all doing fantastic from

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) will increase DWI patrols from March 8 – March 17, one of the most active Spring Break periods in Texas. DPS troopers will focus DWI patrols in high-risk locations at times when al-cohol-related crashes are most frequent. The en-hanced patrols that target intoxicated drivers are funded through a grant from the Texas Depart-ment of Transportation.

“Too frequently people choose to drink and drive during Spring Break, which is an extremely dangerous decision that often leads to senseless tragedy,” said DPS Director Steven Mc-Craw. “Getting impaired drivers off the roads during Spring Break is a major pri-ority for the department, and we also urge the public

Schools seek meaningfulstudentassesment

Region 5 school superinten-dents recently met with Susan Kelner, of Texans Advocating for Meaningful Student As-sessment, and decided the pre-sentation is something all par-ents and people in the com-munity needed to hear.

The program is scheduled for 6 p.m. March 7 at 350 Pine Street, in Beaumont, which is known as the Entergy build-ing.

Area superintendents hope everyone will attend the pre-sentation.

“It would certainly be ad-vantageous to any parent, edu-cator, or community member, to have a better understanding of what’s going on with the legislature with the restric-tions and requirements that they are placing on students’ education, “ said Pauliine Har-

grove, superin-tendent for Lit-tle Cypress-Mauriceville CISD. “Addi-tionally, they would have a better grasp of the impact of

some of these decisions that are being made. In and of themselves, some of the solu-tions being proposed sound fine. However, when one con-siders the total impact, they quickly learn that they may be giving up more than they are receiving.”

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) troopers in Southeast Texas will join forces with local law enforce-ment agencies to participate in the Impaired Driving Mo-bilization (IDM) campaign for Spring Break.

The Impaired Driving Mobilization campaign is a special enforcement effort targeting drunk drivers dur-ing Spring Break. The goal of IDM is to reduce the number

of serious or fatal collisions by increasing patrols in high risk areas where alcohol-related crashes occur frequently. The patrols are funded through a grant from the Texas Depart-ment of Transportation. The campaign will begin on March 8 and end on March 17.

Spring Break is generally associated with high school and college students drinking and partying. However, lo-cal events, like the upcoming 2013 Spring Break Bash at La-

of Orange County, Texasa booking point of view. The hardest kicker is the boat hook-ups.” Patel said most of the boats need electrical hookups at ho-tels to charge their batteries. “That’s something I’m hoping we can cater to for these professional fisherpeople. I think what we have at the hotel should be fine. I’m sure the professionals have scoped that out prior to that.”

He said from a business point of view, the economy is improv-ing anyway and the tournament is a “super bonus.”

It’s fantastic for this town,” said Patel. “People that come to fish will know that we exist and we have a beautiful waterfront for fishing and such. That’s a plus.”

He hopes the tournament will become a yearly event.Patel mentioned the former public relations campaign hosted

by the Stark Foundation of planting seeds and “Watch Orange Grow.” “I guess this is one of the seeds that have been planted,” he said.

“Hotels shouldn’t be a problem, we have lots of rooms. It’s a very big plus.”

Patel is excited about all the extra activities that have been planned for participants and spectators. “It’s not just like come and fish and go. There is so much to do. This town is going the extra mile. This is a perfect opportunity for everybody to be a team player,” he said.

“We can’t even fathom how much hard work has been put into this,” said Patel. He credits David Jones of Gopher Industries and John Gothia as being instrumental in bringing the tourna-

ment to Orange.The Stark Foundation is the sponsor for the event and will

have all of its venues open with related exhibits. Area chambers of commerce, the Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Or-ange County Economic Development Corp. and others have put countless hours into the endeavor.

Launch will be at 6:30 a.m. at the Orange Boat Ramp each day, with weigh-in at 3:15 p.m. The Riverfront Festival runs all four days: 2-10 p.m. Thurs, 11 a.m.-11p.m. Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Sunday.

to make responsible decisions, such as designating a non-drink-ing driver or finding alternative transportation if they are im-paired.”

During last year’s Spring Break enforcement period, DPS troopers made more than 1,000 DWI arrests, and approximately 300 were the direct result of the increased patrols funded by the grant. DPS enforcement also resulted in more than 9,400 speed-ing citations, 1,500 seat belt/child safety seat tickets and 12,500 other citations. In addition, troopers made 545 fugitive arrests and 402 felony arrests during routine patrol operations.

The drinking age in Texas is 21, and any driver under that age with any detectable amount of alcohol in their system can be charged with breaking the law. Additional troopers will also be patrolling in areas with high concentrations of Spring Break ac-tivity.

DPS offers the following tips for safe travel during the Spring Break holiday:

• Slow down – especially in bad weather, construction areas, heavy traffic and unfamiliar areas.

• Eliminate distractions while driving, including the usage of mobile devices.

• Buckle up everyone in the vehicle – it’s the law.

Chambers of Commerce across Southeast Texas have worked months to coordinate the trip most business leaders look forward to every two years, Golden Triangle Days in Austin. Golden Triangle Days in Austin is a three day long event of area delegates who gather at the capitol to build relationships between Southeast Tex-as’ businesses as well as state officials, agency directors and their staff members. Meetings with state agency department heads and

other officials provide a forum for our delegation to provide infor-mation and requests to those in Austin, asking for their support or assistance.

“With all the changes we are experiencing in today’s world, I feel bringing a large delegation from the Golden Triangle will give us a strong voice,” says Ida Schossow, President of the Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce.

ketball which she has played as long as she can remember.

“I have always wanted to be Big Red,” she said.

To become the lovable mascot, she first had to turn in an application and meet the require-ments. She also had to try out in the huge cos-tume where she danced to the school song and performed in a two minute school related skit. With the help of fellow students, Ellison did a basketball skit featuring the old rivalry be-tween Bridge City and Orangefield High Schools. The practices lasted for three days and up to three hours each.

Finally the big day came where she per-formed in front of the judges.

“It really makes you nervous,” she added. Ellison has put a lot thought into what it was

going to be like to be Big Red. The current school mascot, Haley Duhon, gave her pointers and what to expect when wearing the costume such as having every inch of skin covered in the scorching Southeast Texas heat. She also will work on making the dramatic movements while wearing the enormous head and to look through the neck of the costume in order to see her adoring fans. The feet of Big Red are a size 13 shoe which will require her to wear her own shoes inside the yellow bird-like foot.

“I was surprised at the movement,” Ellison said. “Everything is 10 times bigger.”

Ellison will attend cheer camp in June along with the cheerleaders. But, she will also attend

mascot classes too. “I feel like I am ready, but after cheer camp I

know I will be ready,” Ellison said. Ellison said she can’t wait to see the children

at the football games yell and wave at Big Red and the joy on their faces when she is near them.

After graduation from high school, Ellison is not certain what she wants to study but plans to attend Lamar University to obtain her basic studies while she decides what path her life will take her next.

Readiness tests and the hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars used to administer these tests that could be going to the classroom. Their mission is to improve public education in Texas through the use of meaningful and effec-tive student assessments to allow for more pro-ductive classroom instruction and more effi-cient use of public funds.

“School districts are not against accountabil-ity,” said Mike King, Bridge City superinten-dent. “But there is too much testing.”

Hargrove agrees and stated all districts need forms of accountability, but also need for it to be transparent so people can look at the mea-sures and have a clear picture of how their stu-dents, as well as their school and district, are doing.

According to information from TAMSA, Texas is spending over $1.2 billion dollars for testing from the year 2000 through 2015 which equates to $2 spent every second of every day for 15 years.

They also state, “high-stakes” testing is not preparing students for post secondary educa-tion. In addition, the STAAR tests in Texas re-quires students to pass more than four times the average of tests to graduate than other states who require exit exams. Only 25 states require students to pass exit exams to graduate from high school.

State Representative Joe Deshotel has filed HB 1423 which is a bill that completely elimi-nates high stakes testing. The bill will be heard by the Public Education committee on March 12, and he encourages parents, students and ed-ucators to have their voices heard by testifying before the committee, or calling or writing their Representatives.

“Over the past year and a half I have listened to the concerns of parents, students and educa-tors about our public school’s broken account-ability system. This bill maintains rigor and ac-countability while expanding the number of pathways to graduation for High School stu-dents. The elimination of “teaching to the test” and giving more options to students should de-crease our dropout rate and increase workforce readiness program,” Deshotel said in a state-ment.

HB 1423 bill not only eliminates state high-stakes testing as a graduation requirement and the 15 percent of end-of-course tests counting toward course grades but also specifies higher education as 4-year and 2-year and technical

schoolsThe bill requires the Texas Education Agency

to adopt nationally recognized, norm-reference tests in grades 3-8 in reading, mathematics and science consistent with the requirements of No Child Left Behind.

It will also require high school guidance counselors to provide students with informa-tion regarding post secondary opportunities in both college and the workforce. In addition, to authorizing school districts to use high school allotment funding for workforce readiness pro-gram.

Texas educators are also watching for HB 5. This bill offers accountability reform as well as flexibility with Graduation Plans. It also cre-ates a rating system for districts and campuses with a letter grade of “A-F” based on standard-ized assessments.

“One day, one test does not determine our ac-countability,” King said. “What we want is a full range of accountability. You just don’t get a full picture on one day tests.”

Hargrove stated there are other solutions to the one day, one test system which includes multiple methods of assessing and would be more effective, such as, portfolios, student proj-ects, or student innovations.

“One hundred percent of anything is diffi-cult,” King said.

King said it is important to him the school districts provide a well rounded education and not just a “bunch of good test takers.”

“We don’t want that test to determine how we teach our kids,” King said.

King would also like to see some changes in the graduation plan with added flexibility. The “four by four” has three levels with two parts, the distinguished and recommended, for stu-dents on the college track. An added third phase would be a minimum which would allow a broader education into technology classes.

According to King, the “four by four pro-gram” is a “good plan, but cuts vocational class-es.” It consists of four years each of math, Eng-lish, science and social studies. He added, the high school now offers three welding classes. In addition, students have signed up to take a class on the principals of manufacturing and career connections classes.

‘The four by four plan is what has caused the career and technology classes to be trimmed down,” King said.

throughout these unflattering remnants,” Floyd said. “ People at local parks throw their trash into the river even when there are trash cans nearby, which regrettably cause long dam-aging environmental effects. “

In an effort to clean up the waterway, Floyd teamed up with multiple local agencies includ-ing Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fish-eries, Tom Cormier of the Lake Charles Power Squadron, Texas Parks & Wildlife Game War-den, Orange County Sheriff ’s Office, Wetlands Transportation and American Airboat employ-ees.

The dedicated workers collected enough trash to fill a 30-yard dumpster which was do-nated by Waste Management.

Not all items collected were big items, but things such as bottles, cans, tires, barrels, old coolers, shoes, plastics, fishing lures and line were put right where they needed to be — in the trash.

Approximately 18 refrigerators were picked up along the river banks as well as the connect-ing estuaries. Roughly 50 tires were painstak-ingly picked up, some of which had been wrapped around tree trunks and causing seri-ous damage to the adjacent wildlife.

Floyd, a disabled, combat veteran, also enlist-ed the help of Edwin E. Peddy, Beaumont Re-

gional Supervisor of Veterans Securing Ameri-ca. VSA is a Security company who employs re-turning solders in need of civilian employment.

It is the hope of all involved, people will take the time to enjoy their efforts, but also keep the area clean for future generations.

“This first phase of the Sabine River Cleanup may not be the solution to all of the littering but it is more than a head start,” Floyd said.

SPRING NOT ONLY FOR THE BIRDSGrandma used to say, “”Have the Robins come yet? Spring will

come when the Robins come.” I always thought it was the other way around. The Robins would come when spring got here. Well, maybe she was right. For several years I’ve seen very few Robins, maybe a single one in an open field but over the last two weeks they have arrived in large groups. The old birds eat off the ground, they don’t eat out of the feeders, the many young Robins sit in the trees. The weather has been so up and down that about the time I think maybe Spring is here we get a cold blast. Maybe Grandma was right, the Robins are here waiting on spring to come. Also, many Rice Birds are here. They’re a black bird with a small red feather on its wing. As a youngster, I shot many Robins and Rice Birds with a sling-shot. Grandma made jambalaya and gumbo with them. I think there is now a law against killing Robins. I’m glad, but long ago they fed a poor family. Now it’s me and the birds waiting for spring. *****Saturday night don’t forget to “spring ahead” by moving your clock up an hour. We lose an hour in the spring but daylight gets here earlier, good for all us early birds. Spring break starts this weekend. That means more youngsters and police on the road. When kids are out of school, police work increases. *****By next week, maybe the youngsters and Robins will finally get to enjoy spring after a not so good win-ter. *****It’s time for me to spring forward for this week. Hop on board and come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm.

PERRY’S FANTASY PUNISHES TEXASThe Texas Legislature is in session and it’s already obvious that

Gov. Rick Perry is plotting his next national campaign. His oppo-sition to Texas’ participation in the federal funding to expand state Medicaid, voted down Monday, is to show national Republi-cans who will be farthest to the political right in the 2016 presi-dential primaries. It doesn’t matter that his move is on the backs of six million Texans without health care provisions. Perry is playing games with the well being of millions of Texans. He’s re-fusing billions in federal funding to pay for universal care. It would mean $100 billion coming back to our state, most of which has been sent to the federal treasury by Texans in the first place. The Affordable Care Act would meet the needs of our citizens. Gov. Perry should join other Republican governors who have re-versed their course and see the benefit for their citizens, even Gov. Scott of Florida, Gov. Chris Christi of New Jersey and a dozen others say it would be foolish and short change their people to pass up this deal. Perry is chasing his political fantasy and not taking care of business that is important to Texans. In the 82nd session, two years ago, Perry and the legislature took the wreck-ing ball to education in order to position Perry to run for presi-dent. Now the 83rd session is turning it’s back on health care and it could be two more years before it can be corrected. You would think, as bad as he made a fool of himself in his 2012 run, that he would know better. He’s punishing our citizens for his pipe dreams and apparently there’s no one in Austin with the balls to challenge him on doing the right thing for Texas like focusing on matters important to Texans instead of plotting his next national flop.

WE SHOULD NEVER FORGETMarch 2 was Texas Independence Day. Strange how we pick

our priorities. We celebrate people who were politicians, singers, athletes and actors. We forget that the men who came to Texas to find a new life and new opportunities found instead a war. Their belief in Texas brought death to many and we inherited an in-domitable spirit. Actually, we should celebrate the entire week, beginning March 2, for it is also the week the Alamo fell. Had Santa Anna overwhelmed the Alamo in one day, the outcome of San Jacinto might have been different. Maybe God decided that Sam Houston should lead Texas because you see, Sam was born on March 2, in 1782 in Rockbridge County, Va. March 2, is Texas’ most important day. Thanks to Judge Thibodaux and Commis-sioner’s Court for recognizing that as a holiday by shutting down county government.

Happy birthday to all. Our apologies to our lifelong friend Anna Bell Rost, who celebrated her 78th birthday last week. Belated happy birthday to a nice lady.*****The St. Paul Episcopal Church in Or-ange, established in 1894, will celebrate their 119th anniversary on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17.*****Did you know that the First Methodist church in Texas was organized in Bastrop in 1835. Back then, to organize a church required a minimum of 10 mem-bers. There were only nine white people who were Methodist so a slave, Celia Kraft, was added as the 10th member. She worshiped in that church until her death. Now you know the rest of the story from Breaux and Creaux.*****Charlie Warner, of Bridge City, al-ways was a good boy. Last Friday, at Peggy’s on the Bayou, he fed an elderly couple. Many years ago, the old folks had fed Charlie, a youngster, many meals. His heart spoke to him and they appreci-ated the meal, but mostly the thought.*****This past weekend the

north wind was really cold for those brave enough to attend the  baseball tournaments being held. However, besides seeing some good high school baseball, it made for a nice time to visit with some of the old timers. Coach Dan Hooks, Sam Moore, Sharon Bearden and others relayed war stories. Hooks and Moore could fill a book. Clint Landry is a true baseball fan. His son Chad is Bridge City coach and Clint is already teaching his 4-year-old grandson to hit. A left hander like dad, oddly enough he bats right handed. Anyway, Clint told the story about he and Cornell Thompson living in the country, at the end of Newton Street, in West Orange, raising chickens. Cornell still does, Clint raises money. Anyway, Cornell, a little older, had a scooter and Clint sat on the back holding a box of eggs and they rode all over town sell-ing eggs door to door. Often Clint let too many eggs break and got a scolding from Cornell. I can’t put the Sam Moore stories in print, mostly because of space. Did you know Sam and Clint were cousins? Sam’s boy Brennan, it seems just a little guy a few months ago, is Sam’s size now and a starting third baseman for LC-M.*****A little bird told us retired WO-S Coach Mark Fore-man will join the coaching staff of his son, Toby Foreman. Toby was just named the new head coach at Central.*****At the Orange-field tournament Mark got to visit with Terry Landry’s son Shea, who is a coach at West Orange and former star baseball player at LC-M and Lamar.*****I heard a coach from Jasper was spotted coaching first base with an Ipad*****Speaking of seniors, we un-derstand Ms. Rosalie hasn’t tired of Judge Pat Clark, district judge now retired, hanging around the house yet. He’s doing a lot of church work. By the way, he informs us that the St. Joseph Al-ter at St. Mary’s will be held on St. Pats Day, March 17, right af-ter 10 a.m. Sunday mass. Folks will be served starting at 11:30 a.m. Those Catholic ladies would make St. Joseph proud. They feed the masses great vittles, fresh baked bread and homemade deserts, the best I’ve ever indulged in. Hope to see you there.*****We heard from another retiree, longtime Bridge City educator Joe Chenella and wife Nancy,  now living in College Station. They haven’t sold their BC home yet and come to town occasionally, preparing to put it on the market. We miss visiting with Joe.*****Coach Les Johnson and Wanda stopped in for a visit last week. Les doesn’t like retirement, he would rather be coaching the Wing T. He’s quite a farmer however, and already putting out his spring crop in Bastrop.*****I need to let Lily know that OPEC sets crude oil pric-es, they don’t determine gas at the pump prices. Big Oil sets their own prices, they can sell for any price they want. In California they sell for over $5 a gallon, other places differ. Some places around the globe charge $8 to $9, so you see Lily, gas at the pump is not determined by global supply. Big Oil plays with the prices. Ever notice how they drop the prices at election  time. At $95 a barrel for crude, gas at the pump should be between $2.50 and $2.80. Big Oil is raping us.*****Things are not going too bad on Wall Street either. Monday, the Dow was within 30 points of a re-cord high, Tuesday it hit an all time high of 14,253.91.*****Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela for over 14 years, died today at age 58 after a long battle with cancer. Venezuela has the world’s big-gest proven oil reserves.*****The mastermind of the “Great Train Robbery” Bruce Reynolds, died in London at age 81. He led the gang that stole sacks of money, $2.6 million, in August, 1963. It would be worth $60 million today. Books and movies have high-lighted the famous train robbery.*****Also in London, Simon Cowell has taken over television screens around the world. Now he’s taking aim at the internet. Cowell’s Syco Entertainment em-pire and YouTube are launching “The You Generation,” a global online talent contest that is seeking entries from people with un-conventional and original talents, from musicians, photographers, makeup artist, magicians and chefs. From American Idol to the X-Factor and now this.*****Our congratulations go out to Bridge City’s Hayden Guidry, who pitched a 7-0 shutout against Kelly Monday. He struck out 13, allowing four hits. Guidry and the Cardinals start play in the Jasper tournament Thursday.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEKTheophile Gaspard showed up at da pool hall sporting two

black eyes.“Mais, wat happen to you?” Tee-Neg ask.“Well, you know how Camilla has been tryin’ to get me to go

to mass wit’ her during Lent. I went, me. Boy, Tee-Neg, dat is a dangerous place yeah.

“I was sitting in de pew and dere was dis big lady sittin’ in front of us and when she get up from kneelin’ down, her dress, it was caught in her butt. You know, like de cow eatin’ de cab-bage.”

“Well, me, I help her. I pull it out.”“Man, dat lady turn around’ and ka-pow, she hit me hard

right in my eye.”“So how you get de utter black eye?” asked Tee-Neg.And Theophile say, “Well, me, I figure she don’t want it out,

so I push it back in like it was.”

C’EST TOUTThe most unhappy person in Florida this week is Marco Rubio.

He just saw the Republican 2016 nomination slip away. Gov. Jeb Bush, the most popular politician in Florida, has hit the TV talk circuit. He changed his position on immigration and moved far-ther to the right than Rubio, leaving Marco in no man’s land, be-tween Hillary Clinton and Jeb. Bush made a complete u-turn to get Tea Party support for the nomination but it won’t sell in the general election. On the other hand, Jeb is the most sincere, best qualified candidate the GOP has to offer. *****I like T. Boone Pickens outlook, the U.S. can’t beat OPEC at its own game. In the past year our production surged to an 18 year high, yet the Saudi’s cut their’s to a 19-month low. Pickens is calling for “fuel compe-tition” for motor fuels. Natural gas is the answer. Gasoline prices are a complex calculation, several factors come to play like how much profit the oil companies want to make at the gas pump. The reason Big Oil doesn’t like natural gas is it doesn’t have bi-prod-ucts like crude oil, plastics, motor oil, etc. Natural gas would drop prices big time at the pump. Tuesday, Royal Dutch Shell an-nounced plans for two new plants that will double the nation’s supply of liquefied natural gas. A plant in Louisiana and Ontario will supply natural gas to truck stops, railroads and waterways. They will make LNG tomorrow’s fuel, available to today’s market. Just the plan T-Boone has been promoting. Gas at the pump will drop drastically in time. The two new plants will double the na-tion’s supply. *****The Wednesday Lunch Bunch dines at Nov-rozsky‘s this week. Next week the group will be at Robert’s. Our friend Joy Scarborough will furnish her famous fudge for des-sert. Everyone is welcome.*****I’ve got to get out of here. Thanks for coming along. I hope I had a little something for everyone. Re-member to turn the clocks forward an hour Saturday night. Take care and God bless.

Did you have a chance to watch the Grammy awards recently? Well this week the Texas Senate was proud to pass a resolution in honor of all our Texas musicians who received awards at this year’s ceremony. SR 296 was pre-sented personally to Josh Ab-bott, Jack Ingram, and other well-known individuals who contribute so much to the na-tional music scene. Addition-ally, at this point in the legis-lative session, most lawmakers are still getting along, and that is music to my ears as well.

Some of the things happen-ing at your Texas Capitol in-clude:SB 810 - Working to prevent

fraudLast Tuesday, I filed SB 810

to help crack down on Med-icaid fraud. We have worked with the Attorney General’s office to develop this and other strategies to improve Medicaid fraud enforcement. When criminals steal from the Medicaid system they are stealing from every Texas tax-payer.

SB 810 would add a provi-sion to the Texas Penal Code that prevents a defendant from attempting to repay the Texas Medicaid program as a defense to criminal prosecu-tion. Some district attorneys’ offices decline to prosecute a defendant who has defrauded the Medicaid program if that defendant repays the program. This amendment would keep defendants from making that argument.Celebrating Texas Indepen-dence Day and the Return of

the Travis LetterOn March 2 the state will

mark the 177th Anniversary of Texas Independence and will celebrate by bringing Colonel William Barrett Travis’ fa-mous “Victory or Death” let-ter back to the Alamo. Writ-ten at the Alamo by Travis on February 24, 1836 as Mexican

General Santa Anna’s troops began their siege, this letter is considered a Texas treasure and one of the most stirring battleground letters in our na-tion’s history. It is normally housed at the Texas State Ar-chives and Library Building in Austin, but is currently being exhibited at the Alamo in hon-or of Texas Independence Day.

The document “came home” to the Alamo on Saturday, Feb-ruary 23rd and will be on dis-play through March 7th from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day in a custom-made, climate con-trolled and bullet-proof case. As always, entry to the Alamo is free, and there is no charge to see the historic Travis let-ter. This occasion presents a good opportunity to reflect on the courage and bravery exhibited by Texas’ founders. They left a legacy of freedom, self-reliance and liberty that still inspires our state today.

FFA leaders at the CapitolThis week it was great to

see so many FFA members for their day at the Capitol this year. These young men and women represent Texas so well and remind us all of how important agriculture is to our state. It is always an honor to meet with this and other

organizations who are train-ing tomorrow’s Texas leaders.

SB 665 - It’s okay to say “Merry Christmas”

I recently filed Senate Bill 665 to protect Texas public schools’ ability to use tradi-tional holiday greetings such as ‘Merry Christmas’ and ‘Happy Hanukkah’ on school grounds and to educate stu-dents about the history and roots of such holidays.

I have heard from many constituents who dislike that it is becoming less culturally acceptable to openly celebrate these holidays in the ways past generations have. To me this is a matter of helping our

teachers and administrators feel safe talking about these holidays at school without fear of legal action being taken against them.

We are currently standing at a cultural crossroads in our society, and this is one step forward for those defending our traditional values and be-liefs. To follow the bill’s prog-ress, please go to http://www.MerryChristmasBill.com/SB 7 - Medicaid Restructur-

ingThis week the Health and

Human Services Committee, which I serve on, voted out of committee an important bill to improve outcomes in our

Medicaid system. The bill fo-cuses largely on improving long term care services, which is one of the biggest costs to the program. The goal is to redesign the system to prepare for the growing need for long term care, given that Texas has the nation’s largest number of seniors and a growing number of Texans with disabilities.

Those who receive these services are some of the most vulnerable people we serve. We need to make sure they get the best care available -- and that we are delivering that care in the most sustainable and efficient way possible.

Sen. Robert Nichols: My Five Cents

Senator Robert Nichols

Karen Collier announced today that she has opened a second Edward Jones office in Bridge City at 675 W. Round-bunch Rd. Collier has been working with Financial Advi-sor Tim Latiolais to serve in-vestors throughout the Bridge City area.

“I have really enjoyed work-ing with Tim these past sev-eral months,” said Collier. “I’ve had all the advantages of working with an experienced investment professional while getting to know local inves-tors. This has been a tremen-dous opportunity to increase my investment knowledge and hone my customer ser-vice skills. I can’t thank Tim enough for all he has done for me these past several months. Still, I’m looking forward to opening my own office.”

Tim said, “When Karen joined my office, the goal was to help me provide the level of service investors have come to expect from Edward Jones,

while extending our services to additional investors. Karen has proved herself more than capable of doing so. I’m going to enjoy watching her build a successful business of her own.”

Edward Jones provides fi-nancial services for individ-ual investors in the United States and, through its affili-ate, in Canada. Every aspect of the firm’s business, from the types of investment op-tions offered to the location of branch offices, is designed to cater to individual investors in the communities in which they live and work. The firm’s 12,000-plus financial advisors work directly with nearly 7 million clients to understand their personal goals -- from college savings to retirement -- and create long-term invest-ment solutions that empha-size a well-balanced portfolio and a buy-and-hold strategy. Edward Jones embraces the importance of building long-

term, face-to-face relation-ships with clients, helping them to understand and make sense of the investment op-tions available today.

In January 2013, for the 14th year, Edward Jones was named one of the best companies to work for by FORTUNE Maga-zine in its annual listing. The firm ranked No. 8 overall. These 14 FORTUNE rankings include 10 top-10 finishes, consecutive No. 1 rankings in 2002 and 2003, and consecu-tive No. 2 rankings in 2009 and 2010.

Edward Jones opens office in Bridge City

Laser Artist, Tim Walsh brings his famous Laser Spec-tacles to downtown Orange, Friday, March 15, as area resi-dents celebrate spring break and welcome the Bassmaster Elite Series Sabine River Chal-lenge to Orange, Texas. The one-hour long Laser Spec-tacles will begin at 8 p.m. and will combine lasers, fog, and projections with the music of Pink Floyd and Queen creat-ing an outdoor event not to be missed.

Using lasers, large-screen projections, and assorted lighting techniques, Laser Spectacles will set the stage for the newest performing art form: visual music.  The show will take place in the Lutcher Theater parking lot and pa-trons are encouraged to bring their lawn chairs to enjoy the show.

A laser light show is not just a pile of expensive hardware operated by a technician. It is the end result of the “laserist” using the equipment, along with an acute visual sense and a highly developed aural sense, to create artistic enter-tainment in which “synaesthe-sia” (the coordination of sight with sound) occurs.  Timothy Walsh is a multi-faceted artist with the vision to attempt this goal of synaesthesia. His aim is to create shows in which the audience is emotionally in-

volved; and aided by his back-ground, training and exper-tise, he is constantly striving to achieve this. Not only does he create beautiful images, he choreographs them to musical accompaniment, working to create a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts.

“Walsh has extended the medium far beyond gimmick-ry into a genuine art form of

startling expressive breadth… the meshing of mu-sic and image is

well-nigh perfect, and the drop-dead virtuosity con-stantly astonishes.”– San An-tonio Star

Food vendors from Art in the Park (scheduled for Satur-day, March 16th in Stark Park) will be available for snacks before and during the Laser Spectacles performance.  (No ice chests please.) Audiences are encouraged to park in the Orange Public Library park-ing lot and in Lamar State College-Orange parking ar-eas. Streets directly around the Lutcher Theater parking lot will be blocked off for seat-ing and light control. 

Patrons attending Laser Spectacles will be given tick-ets upon entering the parking lot registering them to win seats to the Lutcher’s March 18 presentation of One Night of Queen performed by Gary Mullen and the Works.

Immediately following the performance, the audience is encouraged to return to the Orange County Riverfront Festival to enjoy food, festivi-ties and carnival rides.

The Lutcher Theater for the Performing Arts is located at 707 Main in Orange.

Shangri La Botanical Gar-dens and Nature Center an-nounces upcoming programs for the Spring Saturday Adven-ture Series 2013.

His veterinary practice is 69 years old and still carries his name in Pinehurst. His longtime personal practice spanned more than 50 years before retiring in 1999. Dr. Pachar’s service in the Army Air Corp in World War II preceded his enrolling in Texas A&M in January 1946 under the G.I. Bill. As a bombardier and part of the crew on a B24 Bomb-er in Southern Italy his crew was part of the 15th Air Force with his service from 1943-1945. Many bombing runs were made dur-ing his service but the final run of “Bombers in Trail” the day af-ter the war ended was his crew leading a squadron over the Alps as American soldiers witnessed Austrians in the countryside cel-ebrating by waving national flags at the end of WWII.

He was a 1939 graduate of Lutcher Stark High School and obtained a Doctorate of Veteri-nary Medicine at Texas A&M in 1949 as the Valedictorian in his graduating class earning The Borden Award for his excellence in veterinary studies.

He served as President of the West Orange Cove CISD School Board for six years dur-ing the late 60’s and early 70’s. His membership in organizations includes the American Veterinary Medical Association, Southeast Texas Veterinary Medical Asso-ciation and the Texas Veterinary Medical Association.

The Texas Veterinary Medical Association honored Pachar Vet-erinary Hospital with an award of Texas Veterinary Heritage Prac-tice Award one day before his death in College Station Texas. That award was received by Dr. Kathleen Kennedy in honor of Pachar Veterinary Hospital for recognition of the more than 60 year old practice.

Family was first with Max Pachar and he leaves a fam-ily who will love and cherish his memory forever. Survivors in-clude his loving wife of 65 years, Justine Boswell Pachar.

The family would like to thank Dr. Calvin Parker, nurses and of-fice staff for their care, love and support shown to their dad dur-ing his illness. Dr. Parker’s tal-ents are truly a God given gift and for that the family is grate-ful. After a thirty year relationship with Southeast Texas Hospice from its founding and having served in a capacity of support for hospice care, Dr. Pachar was lovingly cared for by the staff, nurses and aides from South-east Texas Hospice. The family also thanks the personal care-givers who loved and cared for him during his illness.

Hopefully, the wind will be a little more for-giving by the time this weekend rolls around. On consecutive days this week I met clients at the launch only to reschedule rather than deal with the wind. It was an easier de-cision the first day as there wasn’t even enough water to launch the boat.

At least two local anglers that gave it a try this weekend spent some extra money due to high winds.Brad Deslatte was taking a pound-ing while running the ICW between Stewt’s and Sidney Island when the welds snapped on his Talon bracket. “The only thing left con-necting the unit to the boat was the power cord and I was glad that I didn’t have anyone in the passenger seat, said Deslatte. It slammed into that seat just prior to flying over the stern!”

It’s no secret that the 2013 Houston Astros will have the lowest payroll in the entire major leagues at around $25 million. But what is amazing is that the ticket prices to watch this low-dollar talent will raise many an eyebrow.

According to an article that appeared in the Houston Chronicle last weekend, curiosity-seek-ers who want to be the lucky fans to watch the team play in their first American League game in the franchise’s long history, will have to dig deep into their wallets to make it happen.

Apparently Astros President George Posto-los believes that the prices for the Houston Astros-Texas Rangers regular-season opener March 31 “are a reflection of demand and the club’s increased emphasis on dynamic pric-ing—a strategy in which pro teams price games differently throughout the season and charge more for high-profile opponents on premium dates,” according to the Chronicle.

“Dynamic pricing makes the biggest differ-ence when you have a major event, and we have a major event at the start of the 2013 sea-son,” Postolos claims. “We’ve been doing this for a couple of years. But people really haven’t noticed before because we haven’t had a game like this.”

What the team president is saying in be-tween the lines is “we’re gonna gouge you na-ive fans whenever we feel like we can get away with it.”

In last year’s home opener against the Colo-rado Rockies the Astros charged $92 for the most expensive seats at Minute Maid Park. The opener was one of two games to sell out for the Astros in 2012. The other was against

the Texas Rangers in May.The Astros are charging

$130 for both the Dugout and Club Level 1 sections of Min-ute Maid Park for the March 31 nationally-televised match-up against the Texas Rangers which normally sell for $56 and $58, respectively.

The Crawford Boxes that normally are $37 will cost $100 for the home opener, the $41 Field box will go for $90 on March 31 and the Terrace, which usually costs $23, will jump to $52 for the game against the Rangers.

The Astros attempt to ratio-nalize by saying the March 31 high ticket prices are similar to how other teams charge more for their home openers.

They point out that base-ball’s other 100-loss club last season—the Chicago Cubs—are charging $114 for their most expensive seats, which can run as low as $60.

But the Astros point out emphatically that although they aren’t increasing single-game prices this season, they will use dynamic pricing more often in 2013 and in all areas of the stadium for the first time.

When the Yankees come to Houston in late September, prices will be higher in all seats except the outfield deck, with the top ticket going for $73, compared to the base price of $56 for other games. Other games with the Rangers will be at the same scale as well, depending on the day.

“First in line”, “Early bird catches the worm”, “second place is the first loser” and so on, all phrases that conjure up the idea that we have to be in a hurry. Fishing too fast is a common problem that many anglers have, especially when the fish tend to gather up and school in big bunches. Saltwa-ter anglers who chase school-ing fish along with freshwater fishermen who also key in on flocks of birds over hungry groups of stripers, hybrids, and whites are perhaps the worst. The frenzied activ-ity puts everyone on the boat in high gear often leaving the majority of the water column untouched. It’s a proven fact that smaller more aggressive fish will be the first to attack a bait so consequently the “speed fisherman” may never see what caliber of fish is re-ally down under the surface. Savvy anglers will let a bait get down under the surface melee and are more often than not rewarded with better quality fish. Saltwater enthusiasts of-ten find better speckled trout and redfish down under all the small trout hustling shrimp and shad near the surface. By allowing the smaller fish to hit the bait and not setting the hook anglers can get down past the smaller fish to where the big boys play. Some anglers

will actually crawl their baits along the bottom with very lit-tle action and catch some of the best fish out there, it’s difficult to do but well worth the effort.

By taking the time to pa-tiently work a school of fish with a slower retrieve and per-haps a little larger bait anglers can effectively cull out small-er fish. The smaller fish will peck at the larger baits while the better fish will usually strike them with a little more gusto. This slightly different approach proves itself out in some of the strangest ways. Think about how many times you have caught a fish while dragging bait and correcting a backlash, it makes you wonder. If we could see the baits we are fishing with underwater we would see how little of the ac-tual area we are fishing, most of the time it’s less than 2 feet deep. Burning a lure at a high speed has it’s applications but it’s awful hard to argue with the success that the slower ap-proach produces.

Speaking of slower ap-proaches one that comes to mind is dropping anchor on drifts instead of dropping buoy markers. In years past we would make long drifts down Sabine Lake, catch some fish, and repeat the drift only to catch fish in basically the same

area. It was fishing on an esca-lator; you just went round and round until the fish quit biting. One day while fishing on Cal-casieu I got schooled on a bet-ter way to go about this pro-cess from a local fisherman. We were both fishing the same area only we were going about it differently. The local guy was sitting on anchor while I continued to make drift after drift on the same line. After about 3 passes I hear the lo-cal guy say to his buddy in the boat “that guy has a beautiful boat, it’s a shame he couldn’t afford an anchor”. After that encounter I decided to try fishing like the locals and it has paid big dividends. If you watch these guys they keep the anchor real handy, one or two bites in the same area and they ease the anchor overboard or deploy a Power Pole and fish the area thoroughly. Usually these patient fishermen wind up catching more fish while others who continue to drift just miss out on the action. I am sold on the technique be-cause it works; especially in the spring down on the south end of Sabine.

Taking the slower approach one step farther by learning how to properly anchor in places where you may be in deeper water can be critical to success. One day many years ago Dickie Colburn and I were fishing a stretch of the Sabine River where we knew a herd of Redfish had been hanging around. For some reason we

couldn’t find them until we adjusted our position on the anchor by letting out about 30 feet of line and slipping right into the perfect spot. Our ad-justment put us into casting range but kept us off the big concentration of fish; any oth-er set up would result in either spooking the fish or not get-ting bit and both of those op-tions don’t sound good at all. By adjusting our position we were able to cast over a sub-merged point where the red-fish were ganged up escaping the current.

The extra rooms on our casts finally allowed the bait to reach the fish that we knew were there, we were just off the mark by a few feet. Sometimes that few feet can be the differ-ence between a great day and a zero.

During the coming months your patience and abilities will be tested not only by other anglers but by the elements and the fish as well. A more controlled approach will pay huge dividends as the crowds descend on the bays when the weather starts to get pretty.

It never fails this time of year, everybody hears about how good the fishing is and how easy it is to catch fish so the thundering herd collapses on the coast. Regular anglers know this is coming so they adjust accordingly and make due until the crowds cease. Remember there are plenty of fish out there for everyone so stay calm and patient be-

cause fishing is our sanctuary and the actions of someone else should never be allowed to ruin that. Enjoy the fishing

and be sure to share the out-doors with someone who may not know just how wonderful it really is.

of the ICW. “I couldn’t even get the boat turned around in the right direction to try to drive off the reef,” said Porter. “I finally got out and pushed the bow around and just plowed my way back to deeper water.”

He added that he hadn’t had time to look at the bottom of the boat or check for any lower unit damage so it may be worse than anticipated.And, while on the subject of lower units, thanks to Texas Marine for a phenomenal job of get-ting me back on the water af-ter I melted down my lower unit due to braided line wrapped around the prop shaft last week. I brought my rig in on a Thursday, they or-dered the new unit out of Cali-fornia that evening and my boat was ready to go Monday afternoon!

The Triangle Tail Chasers have one eye on the weather forecast for Saturday as they kick off their 2013 tournament season with an Open Trout event. The launch and weigh-in will take place at Port Nech-es Park. A team Captain’s meeting will be held at Daley’s Hunt N Fish Friday evening to accommodate last minute en-tries and discuss rules, etc.

If you haven’t already met one of the Bassmaster Elite pros in a local restaurant or at an area launch over the past

several months you will have yet another opportunity to do so this weekend. Mike Iaconel-li will spend some time Friday evening at Daley’s and Ish Monroe, John Murray, and John Crews will be there as well the following day.

Granger’s Chevrolet and Si-mon Outfitters will also host a “Meet the Pros” autograph session Saturday at Simon Outfitters located on Mac Ar-thur Drive in Orange.Several of the pros will be on hand from noon until 6:00 p.m.

If you are not into fishing, especially bass fishing, chanc-es are that you have no idea just how big a deal this tour-nament is for the area and the folks that live to chase bass. The Bassmaster Classic is the Super Bowl of competitive bass fishing, but this event is easily the equivalent of an an-nual MLB All Star game.In fact, it is an even bigger deal considering the amount of time the pros have already spent in the area.

How overwhelmed would a baseball fan be if he walked out on a local field after work with his Little Leaguers only to find Derek Jeter and Albert Pujols tossing the ball around? That is exactly what has been happening over the past sever-al months for many local bass fishermen.

While they asked only that

their fans respected the fact that they were down here in advance trying to put together a winning game plan, they also took the time to make themselves surprisingly acces-sible.On more than one occa-sion we were late getting away from the LaQuinta on Texas Avenue in Bridge City for a scouting trip due to unsched-uled meeting and greeting ses-sions.

Their wrapped boats parked out front were virtual magnets for fans hoping to just meet a pro at best. More than one full breakfast was reduced to a quick cup of coffee and a muf-fin after shaking hands and chatting with more folks than you would think even get up that early.

The biggest fishing event in the history of this corner of the state will take place this week and the city of Orange will find itself front and center on the national stage. Take the time to thank the folks that worked so hard to make this happen and whether you like to fish or not…make time to attend at least one weigh-in and welcome visitors to our community!

Lawrence Tettle may have best put the magnitude of the event in perspective when he said that he and his sons can-not wait to attend the blast off each morning as well as the

weigh-ins.“The kids are excit-ed about seeing a real ESPN camera man and my eight year old wanted to know if Chris Berman was going to be there,” laughed Tettle. “He said that was the only way to be sure that it was the real ESPN that he watches on television.”

SETRPC to host series of public meetings

The Symphony of South-east Texas’ (SOST) presents the final chapter in their storybook 60th Anniversary Season -- and it is an epic one. The plot is ambitious and the characters are impressive. The season comes to a glorious resolution featuring musical selections that have their own story to tell in “Symphonic Story Celebration” at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 6, at the Julie Rogers Theatre in Beau-mont. “Instrumental music has the great power to give impressions of stories,” said SOST Music Director Chelsea Tipton. “The orchestra really brings out the emotions in the stories, and we are excited to share that.”

The concert includes Rich-ard Strauss’s “Don Juan” and Carl Orff ’s “Carmina Burana.”

Austrian composer Strauss understood well how an or-chestra works and how to use it to tell a story, according to Tipton. “Don Juan” is based on a poem written in 1888 and follows the musical passions portrayed in it. “The orches-tral parts in ‘Don Juan’ are virtuosic and extremely diffi-cult,” added Tipton. The text of “Carmina Burana” was writ-ten by medieval monks and in-cludes the “O Fortuna” chorus, which is highly recognizable from the movie “Excalibur” and many commercials.

“Carmina Burana” also calls for a huge number of musi-cians in the orchestra and three soloists, including so-prano soloist, and Beaumont native, Jeanine Thames. The Symphony of Southeast Tex-as Chorus and the St. Anne Church Children’s Chorus will also contribute to this magnif-icent finale to the 60th Season.

“This is a powerful closing concert for this momentous season because it brings to-gether everyone from the com-munity – the large orchestra,

chorus and children’s choir,” said Tipton.

Maestro Tipton invites all guests to arrive early at 6:30 p.m. for a pre-concert talk. The performance will then begin at 7:30 p.m. Single ticket prices range from $15 to $36; senior, student and group discounts are available. To purchase tick-ets or get more information, go to www.sost.org or contact the Symphony. This concert is sponsored by TOTAL-Port Arthur Refinery. An added “sparkling” attraction for the four Master Series concerts during this milestone season includes a diamond jewelry piece give-away. A representa-tive will draw one ticket from the stubs submitted upon en-trance to the theater on con-cert night. The lucky concert-goer holding that ticket will be presented with a beautiful piece of diamond jewelry. The winner must be present to claim the prize. The jewelry prize for the April 6 concert is generously donated by Alter’s Gem Jewelry.

The Symphony of Southeast Texas celebrates “A Sparkling 60th Season of Symphonic Sounds” in 2012-2013. Since the inaugural performance of the Beaumont Symphony Or-chestra on May 12, 1953, the organization has continued to uphold its mission of present-ing educational, entertaining, and culturally enriching pro-grams of the highest artistic quality to the Southeast Texas community.

The SOST is also looking forward to beginning the ex-citing 61st season with the annual July 4 celebration con-cert this summer and then a spectacular performance of Respighi’s “Pines of Rome” on Sept. 14. Season ticket renew-als have already begun and will continue at the April 6 con-cert. Call (409) 892-2257 for more information.

NOTICE OF RATE CHANGE REQUEST

Entergy Texas, Inc. (“ETI”) is a wholly owned subsid-iary of Entergy Corporation (“Entergy”). On December 4, 2011, Entergy and ITC Holdings Corp. (“ITC”) en-tered into an agreement to transfer ownership and control of the transmission business of ETI (and the other Entergy utility oper-ating companies) to a sub-sidiary of ITC (the “Trans-action”). ETI and ITC filed a joint application with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (“commission”) for approval of the Trans-action and related relief on February 19, 2013. That application has been as-signed Commission Dock-et No. 41223. If the Transaction is ap-proved and after the Transaction closes, ETI will obtain transmission service from ITC and will pay for such service un-der the terms of the Mid-west Independent System Transmission Operator’s Open Access Transmis-sion, Energy and Operat-ing Reserve Markets Tariff. As a result, ETI is seeking to realign its revenue re-quirements to reflect such payments. To accomplish the rate realignment, ETI filed an application with the commission on February

22, 2013, for approval of a transmission cost recovery rider (“Rider TCR”). The application for approval of Rider TCR was assigned Commission Docket No. 41235. Additionally, in Docket No. 41223, ETI and ITC have requested that the commission authorize ETI to defer any cost dif-ferential that occurs if the Transaction closes prior to the date that the Rider TCR is implemented. ETI will also seek to recover these deferred costs through the Rider TCR approved in Docket No. 41235. ETI’s proposed Rider TCR is designed to result in an increase in revenues of approximately $18 million per year, an increase of 1.3% in overall annualized revenue. ETI has request-ed that the commission make this change effective 35 days after its applica-tion was filed. All custom-ers in ETI’s Texas retail rate classes are affected by this request. The com-mission has jurisdiction to grant the relief sought in this proceeding pursuant to Public Utility Regula-tory Act Sections 14.001, 32.001, and 36.209. ETI also seeks approval of the rider pursuant to P.U.C. SUBST. R. 25.241 govern-ing the form and filing of tariffs. Persons with questions

or who want more infor-mation on the rate change application may contact ETI at Entergy Texas, Inc., Attn: Customer Service—Rider TCR Case, 350 Pine Street, Beaumont, Texas 77701, or call [1-800-368-3749 (select option 4, then 4, then 2, then 2, then 1)] during normal business hours. A complete copy of this application is available for inspection at the ad-dress listed above. Persons who wish to in-tervene in or comment upon the rate change pro-ceeding should notify the Public Utility Commission of Texas (commission) as soon as possible. A request to intervene or for further information should be mailed to the Public Utility Commission of Texas, P.O. Box 13326, Austin, Texas 78711-3326 and should reference Commission Docket No. 41235. Further informa-tion may also be obtained by calling the Public Utility Commission at (512) 936-7120 or (888) 782-8477. Hearing- and speech-impaired individuals with text telephones (TTY) may contact the commission at (512) 936-7136. The dead-line in this proceeding is 45 days after the date the application was filed at the commission.
