The United Steel Workers Union, Local 13-836, repre-senting 130 hourly employees, are on strike against Firestone Polymers located at 5713 FM 1006 in Orange.

More than 50 people were at the gates of the plant on Mon-day afternoon while two of the workers held signs and paced back and forth across the driveway. According to Rich-ard “Hoot” Landry, USW in-

ternational staff representa-tive., it is against the law in Texas to “mass picket.” There-fore, the workers must take turns carrying the signs. The last time workers picketed was in 1993.

A driver in a United Parcel Service truck refused to cross the picket line Monday to de-liver a package because his company was unionized as well. As he drove away, he gave the workers and thumbs up and wished them luck.

There are two main reasons why they chose to strike which are health care and wages, Landry said.

Both sides were able to re-solve many issues, except for health care and wages. Fires-tone wants to make major changes in its health care of-ferings by shifting more of the health care costs onto the em-ployees. It wants to change the existing PPO plan by tripling the cost of the out-of-pocket deductible for individual and family coverage and reducing the percentage it will pay of

health care costs after the de-ductible is met, according to information from the USW.

The company has proposed a consumer-driven health care plan that has low premiums, but out-of-pocket deductibles that are six times higher than what the workers are paying today. Workers would pay more of their health care costs after the deductible is met.

Firestone also wants the union to give up its right to bargain over changes in the health care plans.

Local 13-836 members are concerned about their health care costs because they are ex-posed to highly hazardous chemicals and work in a dan-gerous environment. They are more likely to need medical care because of their work-place exposure.

The workers want the right to be able to negotiate their co-pay amounts, deductibles and premiums on their insur-ance plans.

However, the insurance company is not new to Fires-tone, since the corporation has been using the plan, but Or-ange has not had the same program.

“What we are saying is that we want the right to sit at the table and achieve a fair deal,” Landry said.

Their other source of con-tention was the amount of the annual cost of living raises which is two percent. The an-

Clint Ray has always wanted to write a novel. Last October, he published his first book, “Love, Finally.”

It’s a romance written from a man’s perspective. “The idea came to me and I just went with it,” he said.

As a woman, it felt slightly “off” or skewed. It is just a matter of the way men and women view things differently. The old “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus,” point of view.

The primary readers of ro-mance novels are women. This could be a primer for women on how men view love. It will give them the opportunity to learn a little “Martian.”

“I’ve gotten a lot of good comments and reviews from

women saying they wanted to see it from a guy’s point of view, and they enjoyed that as-pect of it.”

Ray is a good storyteller.The synopsis from the back

of the book states: “Cash Col-lins has a life most guys would envy: a successful career,

money in the bank and a high-rise apartment with a glam-orous view of New York City. His good looks, quick wit and smooth tongue attract women like bees to honey- until a one-night stand prompts him to reevaluate everything and re-alize how empty his life is.

“With the goal of finding a woman to love, Cash vows to change his ways. Just as he bids a final farewell to his play-boy lifestyle, Cash encounters Marie Daniels, a stunning brunette from Texas-who also happens to be married.

“Despite his promise to him-self and her commitment to her husband, Cash and Marie are immediately drawn to each other. As both of them fight their feelings and attempt to move on with their lives, nei-ther has any idea that Cash is about to receive devastating

news that will change every-thing.”

Ray received a call Tuesday from a publisher wanting to pitch his book to producers for a possible made for TV movie.

With his first book under his belt, Ray is working on his second, “The Reason.” He expects to be finished with it sometime this summer. Ray said it could be considered ro-mance, but it goes a totally dif-ferent way. It will also be based in New York.

When Ray completed “Love, Finally” he researched differ-ent methods of publication and had some offers from small publishers, but decided to go the self-published route because of the royalties and he retained all rights.

“Love, Finally” can be or-dered online from Amazon, Barnes and Nobles.

The Orange County Grand Jury recently returned indict-ments for two people on two separate incidences on charg-es of murder.

One of the indictments stem from an incident in No-vember 2012 when Curtis Al-len Garrison, 26, was located by Orange County Sheriff ’s Office Deputies at another residence in the 15000 block of FM 1442 in the Mauricev-ille area and was detained without inci-dent. It was lat-er learned this was his parent’s residence.

Initially, there was a report of shots fired in the 5600 block of Woodside in Vidor. When deputies arrived on the scene they found the victims, Aaron Conn, 34, and Summer Conn, 30, dead at the scene. Both victims appeared to have sustained gunshot

The staff of Bridge City Ele-mentary recently had an ex-traordinary way of raising money for the American Can-cer Society which involved a pig and ruby red lips.

Jars were set out in the school for a week with the contestants pictures on them. The contestant’s jar which collecte the most money would win the prize of kissing the large, hairy, black pig.

The actual kissing of the pig recently took place one morn-ing in front of the staff and students. The top two contes-tants were so close in the amount of money collected, with only $6.70 between them, it was decided they would both kiss the pig. Ann Cupp,

school counselor and Kelly McBride, principal, were out-fitted with a sash and crown. But, the pig kissing would not take place until they had the finishing touch of bright red lipstick applied to their lips.

The crowd cheered them on as they put their lips on the big hairy beast, but after all, it was for a worthy cause.

The members of St. Mary Catholic Church, in Orange, held a St. Joseph’s Altar Sunday at the parish hall. The alter was cov-ered with the various foods and flowers.

Saint Joseph is one of the most beloved saints among Italian-Americans. As the patron of workers and the protector of the family, he is honored with a feast on March 17. Reasons for the altar vary from giving thanks to a favor granted to the healing of a sick loved one. It is also an opportunity for the local people to help the less fortunate.

The ancient tradition of the altar goes back to the middle ages.

At that time, a severe drought ravaged Sicily. As a result, the crops failed and a large amount of people died of famine. The peasants prayed to God for rain and they also prayed to St. Jo-seph to intercede with God on their behalf. They promised if the rain came they would have a special feast to honor God and St. Joseph. In honor of that feast, St. Mary’s volunteers prepare au-thentic Sicilian dishes for the annual Feast Day.

Pictured above is Father Joseph Daleo blesses the Altar Sun-day before the feast can begin.

nual raises are part of the three year contract.

Workers say this would not be enough to pay for their out-of-pocket medical costs.

“We are willing to consider any proposal, but two percent is not enough,” Landry said.

The strike started at noon Monday and will continue as long as needed, Landry said.

“The union is prepared to return to the table at the earli-est opportunity so the parties can address the open issues,” Landry said. “Until then, we will remain united in our quest for a fair contract.”

The strikers have planed to be at the gate 24 hours per day and continue to take turns holding the signs until a deal is reached.

“The strike at Firestone

Polymers doesn’t only affect those who are employed at Firestone but also those who have been contracted out to work there,” an anonymous contract worker said. “We’ve been told not to go into work until the strike is over, so we’re just taking this day by day. I understand why the union workers are frustrated but this strike is keeping me from pro-viding for my family.”

The representatives for the Japanese owners were expect-ed to arrive Tuesday morning for a walk through of the plant but according to Landry, they failed to arrive.

“We are disappointed that despite the efforts of the Fires-tone Polymers, LLC (FSPC) negotiating team, the leader-ship of the United Steel, Paper

and Forestry, Rubber, Manu-facturing, Energy, Allied In-dustrial and Service Workers International Union (“USW”) has decided to call a strike at the company’s Orange, Texas, plant. The work action will impact nearly 125 hourly em-ployees.

“It has been our goal throughout the negotiation process to achieve a contract that is in the best interest of the local union members, will allow our company to com-pete in the global marketplace, and will ensure that as a com-pany we are profitable now and in the long term. We be-lieve that the contract offered to the USW would have moved the Orange, Texas plant to-ward those goals.

“Firestone Polymers re-

mains committed to searching for and achieving a mutually acceptable resolution of all is-sues at the bargaining table,” according to a statement from Firestone Polymers.

Firestone Polymers cele-brated its 50th year of opera-tion in Orange in 2007. In 1957, the plant opened and be-gan operation by producing

butadiene for the polymer in-dustry. The Orange facility is said to be an industry leader in the production of Polybutadi-ene rubber.

The plant manufactures two types of synthetic rubber products. Diene which is their our trade name for polymer-ized Polybutadiene rubber. It is a high quality product that

has become the standard against which such products are measured. Stereon is a trade name for polymerized styrene butadiene di-block and tri-block copolymers. These versatile block copoly-mers and thermoplastic elas-tomers can be found in many plastic, rubber, and adhesive products.

wounds.It was determined the inci-

dent occurred at the suspect’s residence. He was booked in the Orange County Jail where he re-mains in custo-dy on a $1 mil-lion bond.

The other in-dictment returned was for Ju-lia Rhoton Andrews, 58, of Vi-dor who is accused of murder-ing 42-year-old Randy Peddy, of Vidor.

The incident occurred in Novemeber 2012 in the 1400 block of Terry Road in Vidor. When deputies arrived on scene, they found Peddy lying lifeless in the yard of the resi-dence.

Andrews was brought to the Orange County Sheriff ’s Of-

fice where she was interviewed by investigators concerning the shooting. Andrews stated that she and Peddy had gotten into a verbal and physical al-tercation and she confessed to shooting and killing Peddy. Andrews was arrested for murder and was booked into the Orange County Correc-tional Facility. Bond was set at $250,000 where she remains in

custody. If both suspects are convict-

ed of first degree felony charg-es of murder they could face up to 99 years or life in prison. However, if they face capital murder charges, and are con-victed the offense carries a mandatory life sentence or prosecutors can seek the death penalty.

SPRING ARRIVES, EVERY THING IS GOODWell, we’ve come on the first day of spring. We dodged the

winter bullet that has plagued so much of the county. The aza-leas are in bloom, the birds are singing and Catholics around the world have a new leader. A full blooded Italian, from Ar-gentina, Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected Pope, the first Pon-tiff from the Americas. I’m glad he chose the name Francis. St. Francis was a friend to the birds and nature. For many years I’ve had a statue of St. Francis located near my bird feeders, watching over the flock. I can just hear some Evangelical accusing me of being a statue worshiper. We Catholics don’t worship statues, we worship what they represent. *****The big Bassmaster Sabine River Challenge was an outstanding success. Art in the Park drew overflow crowds. A big hand of appreciation goes out to the many volunteers who came from throughout the county, includ-ing Vidor. The Orange Chamber, Orange County Economic Development, Stark Cultural Venues, David Jones and John Gothia deserve a lot of credit for such a great success. Judge Carl Thibodaux, who through his life has been a devoted fisher-man, did a lot behind the scenes to make the Bass Elite Series a reality. Unfortunately, the Judge, the most interested guy in the county, missed all the action because he was ill. The Judge has a thousand fishing stories and says some day he’ll write a book. *****Our South East Texas girl, Kree Harrison, had a great outing in the first elimination of American Idol last week. Nine contestants remain for this week’s competition. Kree was picked as one of the top three last week. Most area news media have given her coverage, why some others chose not to is beyond me. Kree’s roots run deep in Orange County, plus she was born in Port Arthur. Her mom and dad were both Bridge City natives. She needs your votes. It just takes a minute. *****I’ve got to move on. Please come along, it won’t do you no harm.

ANNIVERSARY OF “SHOCK AND AWE” THE BIG LIEI sit here today on the 10th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq,

recalling President George W. Bush going on TV and telling the American people what the U.S. planned to do. I had written several times that to invade Iraq would be a mistake. The Bush Administration used false premises to sell the war and the American people bought it. Their justification was that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. That was a lie. They sold that Saddam had connections to Osama bin Laden, another lie. They had convinced most of the public. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and VP Dick Cheney were looking for an excuse to invade Iraq. They both pushed tirelessly for war. My belief then, and still today, is that if Iraq hadn’t had oil, we would never have invaded. Weapons of mass destruction have never, to this day, been found. Cheney said the invasion would be a slam dunk. We said it would last a long time, cost Ameri-can lives and a lot of money. Over 4,488 American lives were lost, 32,000 wounded and we spent $3 trillion on a war not paid for and now handed down to the next administration, and still on the tab. Also 134,000 Iraqi civilians were killed. Who prof-ited the most? Halliburton made billions. President Bush never asked the advice of the experts; he mostly just took Cheney’s word. In the meantime, Afghanistan became orphaned, neglect-ed and we are still there at the cost of another trillion, on the tab. Iraq today, is still tied up in sectarian violence, led by a president under the influence of Iran. The Iraq invasion was the biggest lie imposed on the American people in my lifetime. The lie, lays mostly at the feet of Dick Cheney, who stood to profit the most. The United States should never again invade a country to occupy it. Iraq is a lesson we should always keep in mind. War should be a last resort after thorough vetting and exploring the facts and only after verifying those facts. Then, act on the facts, not like we did in Iraq and go against the facts.

REMEMBERING TUCKEROur friend of many years, Percy Keith “Tucker” Clayton,

91, passed away last Wednesday, March 13. He died at Harbor Hospice Hospital in Beaumont. He usually came around quite often but hadn’t been by since before the holidays. Corky and crew around here had wondered why. “Tucker” was one of Sher-iff Chester Holts most trusted deputies. After the death of Don Moser a few weeks ago, only “Tucker” and Bill McDaniel re-mained who had served under Holts. McDaniel is now the last one. When Holts left office “Tucker” went to work for Mrs. Nel-da Stark as her bodyguard and night watchman at her residence. Many nights she would get up and come sit outdoors with him. He knew all about her personal life and was on duty the night an attempt was made to kidnap her. He told the story and knew who was behind it. Many stories about his days in her guard and in law enforcement went with him. Services were held Sunday, March 17, at Claybar Funeral Home. A good man, he did to ride the range with. May he rest in peace.

president is $450,000 for life, plus Secret Service protection for life. The salary of House and Senate members is $174,000 for life, the majority and minority leaders, $194,400 for life. Average salary for a soldier deployed in Afghanistan, $38,000. Seniors on Social Security, $12,000 average.

He was due for another MRI this week to check his progress. They check him often. So far, so good. *****I haven’t heard the latest on Quincy Procell, his back and knee surgery was postponed last week due to technical problems. I think they will try again soon.*****A tragedy was averted Monday at Central Florida Uni-versity when a young man with many weapons took his own life when discovered rather than carrying out his plan for mass killing at the school.*****Longtime educator at Bridge City and former principle at Deweyville, Joy Scarbourgh, former 35-year teacher Ted Williams, and former commissioner Marcel Ad-ams, all attended the Wednesday Lunch Bunch get-together last week. Joy brought some of her famous fudge for everyone, plus some for their office help. Joy was raised on a pecan farm in Mississippi with 150 plus trees all color coated to keep up with the brand, like Stewards, etc. Merchants came from all over the country to buy large amounts of pecans. After her parents died, she sold the farm that she says is a lot of work to gather the crop and maintain the trees. The man she sold it to sends her 100 pounds of shelled pecans every year and that’s how she affords to spread goodwill with her fudge. While only half done with the last batch she broke her hand so some of the fudge was made one-handed but all was delicious. The Lunch Bunch dines at Novrozsky’s this week and back to Robert’s next Wednesday. Everyone is always welcome.*****Rick Perry draws $90,000 in state retirement and still collects a $150,000 yearly salary. Some Republican and Democratic legislatures have joined forces on bills aimed at curtailing Gov. Rick Perry’s power benefits and number of terms. One bill would have the governor pay his se-curity cost when traveling for personal or political trips. In his failed 2012 presidential bid, he spent 150 days out of state at a taxpayer cost of $3.7 million for security. Now, it seems he’s planning to make another attempt at becoming president of the United States.*****I wish everyone could watch the documen-tary, “The World According to Dick Cheney.” It premiered on Showtime last Friday. It was very much as I reported those eight years of Bush/Cheney and how Dick and Rumsfeld screwed the President by not telling him the truth, and how the invasion of Iraq, that cost $3 trillion and many young lives, was a sham. Bush wouldn’t pardon “Scooter” Libby, Cheney’s former chief of staff, convicted of CIA leaks, so they haven’t spoken since.*****Judge Janice tells us her sister Mildred is still in guarded condition in a Houston hospital but is now showing some improvement. Our best wishes for this wonderful lady.*****Speaking of Judge Menard, JP of Pct. 3, Judge Janice, like other justices of the peace, doesn’t always have an easy ride. She works hard all hours of the day and night. When holding court she is always cour-teous and polite, stern but treats everyone the same. We’re are fortunate to have dedicated judges like Judge Menard and our other JP’s.*****Not shocking news that Ryan Seacrest and Juli-ann Hough split up.***** After the first airing of Dancing with the Stars, I don’t look for Wynonna Judd to make it to the top five but she was not as bad as expected. Dancing with the Stars is in its 16th season.*****Our friend Joe Chanella, who served Bridge City School District well, beginning in 1967 until last year, stopped by for a nice visit. He was in town putting their B.C. home on the market. He and Nancy have moved to College Station. Many improvements were made at BCISD during Joe’s tenure. He’s a good friend, we’ll miss him.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEKClovis Comeaux couldn’t find no work so he decided to go

to California. Da high gas prices took most of his money to drive dere so he went to a bank and told the receptionist he need a loan him.

She sent him to da loan officer, “Cobbs my name, what can I do for you?”

My names Comeaux, I need to borrow a couple of tousand dollars to held me over till I can find a job me.”

“What do you have for collateral?” asked the loan officer.“I got my 95 Suberban me.”Cobb said, “You know what we do with Cajuns in southern

California?”Comeaux him started to turn away when he answer, “No,

but I know wat we do wit cobs in Sou’h Louisana.”

C’EST TOUTThe GOP CPAC showcased their stable of stars last weekend.

Rand Paul, like his daddy before him, won the straw poll, Rubio, second; Santorum, third; Christi, fourth and Paul Ryan fifth. Palin, tenth and Perry, who made his pitch didn’t make it to the top ten. *****Here at home, I’m quite concerned about the di-rection our Commissioner’s Court has been leaning lately. For many years, the Court operated in a businesslike, adult way. They often disagreed but they were not divisive and difficult just for the sake of grandstanding. A couple of weeks ago, a large group of Orange County citizens attended Golden Triangle Days in Austin. Every entity in Orange County; schools, chambers, cit-ies, businesses and industries sent ambassadors, goodwill people to meet and greet our legislature and more importantly their staffs. Every one of the above groups paid for their people’s lodg-ing. Well, at the county level, Judge Thibodeaux and Commis-sioner David Dubose attended, met with Sen. Nicholas about a bill referring to fire districts. He agreed to carry the bill. They also met with committee chairmen, etc. The county allows $150 a day for travel and lodging. Austin lodging is $229 a day. A re-quest was made for the county to pick up the $79 difference. That’s when Commissioner Crump got on his soapbox. The Vidor commissioner started to “grandstand” like he did to deny county departments from having a Christmas lunch. Crump says he doesn’t attend photo opts. I doubt that but it’s for sure he doesn’t mind grandstanding. I don’t know if his move was to embarrass the Judge and Commissioner Dubose or to show what a good Tea Partier he is. The total amount was $300. It was silly to even bring it up. *****Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers, what you do today might burn you tomorrow. Take care and God bless.

THE RECORD B‘THE RECORD’ HOMETOWN HIGHLIGHTS

Anyone that resides in the Orange area could have immediately told you there was a helluva crowd in attendance at the Bassmaster Elite weigh-ins both Saturday and Sunday afternoon well before they neared the launch site. I have never seen trucks and cars wedged into every available space from Green avenue all the way to Bluebird fish camp in my life!

The crowds the first two days of the event had already been praised by the pros, but they easily doubled in size on day three and four. Saturday’s crowd of 15,730 broke the single day Bassmaster mark and the four day total of 33,650 set a new record as well. It took a ton of behind the scene work to even get a shot at hosting the event, but the overflow crowds may well be the icing on the cake that assures that more events like this are all but guaran-teed.

At least one official in the know said that they had already been told that the Bassmaster Elite is already considering a return year after next and possibly even next year. Several other major tournament organizers, both fresh and saltwater were on hand and they were looking at hosting tournaments out of Orange as early as next fall!

Researchers reported Tuesday that they have linked 180,000 obesity-related deaths worldwide to sugary drinks, including about 25,000 adult Americans.

Overall, 1 in 100 deaths of obese people globally can be blamed on too many sweetened beverages, according to a study presented at an American Heart Association scientific conference in New Orleans. Mexico leads the 35 largest nations in deaths attributable to over-consump-tion of sugary drinks, with the United States third. Japan, which has one of the lowest per-capita consumptions of sugary drinks, had the fewest sugar-related deaths.

Using data collected as part of the World Health Organization’s

2010 Global Burden of Diseases Study, the researchers deter-mined that 78% of these deaths were in low- and middle-income countries.

Of the deaths in 2010 linked to drinking sugar-sweetened soft drinks, fruit juice or sports bev-erages, 132 000 were from diabe-tes, 44 000 from cardiovascular disease and 6,000 from cancer.

The most diabetes deaths (38,000) occurred in the Latin America/Caribbean region, with East/Central Eurasia reporting the largest numbers of cardio-vascular deaths (11,000) related to over-consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks.

The finding that three quar-ters of the deaths were from dia-betes “suggests that limiting sug-ary-beverage intake is an impor-tant step in reducing diabetes deaths,” co-author Gitanjali

Singh, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health, said in an inter-view.

Average consumption varied widely — from less than one 8-ounce drink a day among el-derly Chinese women to more than five 8-ounce drinks every day among younger Cuban men.

“Because we were focused on deaths due to chronic diseases, our study focused on adults. Fu-ture research should assess the amount of sugary beverage con-sumption in children across the world and how this affects their current and future health,” Singh said.

In a statement, the American Beverage Association, the trade group for the non-alcoholic bev-erage industry, dismissed the findings as “more about sensa-tionalism than science.”

738-2070

even a portion of the folks that made this all happen for fear of leaving someone out, but my hat is off to everyone from the folks that started the ball rolling to the volunteers that parked cars and assisted with the boat launches. It was a to-tal effort that will reap benefits for the city for years to come.

Orange native, Bob Crew made every weigh-in and he said that was the biggest crowd he could remember in Orange since World War II. I think about half of the folks that gathered for the Neal McCoy concert and fireworks Satur-day night just stayed all night rather than risk lose their parking spot and good seat for the final weigh-in!

I enjoyed my time spent talking with a number of the pros and a few of their fam-ily members when catching bass wasn’t the only thing on their minds. I just didn’t real-ize what a logistical hassle it is to follow the circuit all over the country. Not one of them knew if they were going to be here through the weekend or leaving for Falcon Lake Friday night

“I bet you we’ll come back here,” said a wife of one of the pros while standing in line for another shrimp Kabob.“I don’t know what one of those bou-dain things are even made of, but they are good, too,” she remarked before closing the deal with, “When the wives

are happy all is good and the people and food down here get my vote!”

Todd Faircloth of Jasper was the sentimental favorite of those gathered each day and he rose to the occasion on Day Four. After swapping the lead over the first three days with Dean Rojas he closed the deal with a 14 pound 9 ounce stringer for a four day total of 49.6 pounds. The victory was worth $103,000 and a guar-anteed spot in the Bassmaster Classic.

Faircloth found his winning fish in Taylor’s Bayou, but a number of the pros elected to make even longer runs each day. Bayou D’inde located between Sulphur and Lake Charles was one of the Loui-siana hot spots that required a long run as well.

Trey Smith said that no one he talked with ran any further than Mike McClelland each day. “McClelland told me that he was fishing north of Galves-ton and ran over 800 miles in four days,” said Smith. “His gas bill was averaging $265 a day!”

On the other end of the spectrum was fifth place fin-isher, Bill Lowen, who could have troll motored to his fish each day. He homesteaded the burned out bridge area all four days and his short run served him well. Mark Davis also spent most of his time just a short distance up the Sabine River.

It also didn’t take long to figure out that the pros don’t miss a thing when it comes to getting the most bang for their fishing buck. More than one of them pointed out that there wasn’t much initial monetary value in qualifying for the fi-nal day if you had little chance of making up ground on the leader when fishing a tough venue.

Their point was that the 12th place finisher lost two days of practice on Falcon and earned only $500 more than the pro that finished in 50th place. At the same time, they were well aware that the most

important benefit of a top fin-ish is the number of points earned toward qualifying for the big show at the end of the year.

All of the strategy was of little or no concern, however, to the sea of elated specta-tors that flocked to see their fishing heroes in person. The event proved to be even more exciting than it appears to be on television, the patience of each and every pro was appre-ciated and respected by their fans and even the non-fish-

ermen in Orange are excited about the possibility that they will be back.

Congratulations to Todd Faircloth, the Bassmaster

Elite organization, and all of Orange. A world of folks will know where Orange, Texas is after the Bassmaster show Sunday morning on ESPN 2!

Long days at the office. Shrinking paychecks. Ex-hausted, overcommitted kids. These days, who isn’t stressed out and ready for a break?

Shift your life from over-drive into neutral, and come on out to Texas Wildlife and Woodland Expo & Spring Fling, where we can help bring balance to your backyard — and your life.

Expo & Spring Fling is de-signed to help families learn how to nourish and protect the land on which they live through the use of hands-on clinics, live demonstrations and children’s activities. Es-sentially, we help families re-connect with nature — and each other.

The event is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sat., March 23, 2013, at the Lone Star College-Montgomery Cam-pus, 3200 College Park Dr. in Conroe. It’s free and open to the public.

“You’d really be amazed at what we’ve got planned for our families this year,” said John Warner, Texas A&M Forest Service urban district forest-er and expo founder. “We’ve got more than 40 exhibitors for the adults and roughly 40

hands-on learning stations for the kids. And it’s all set in the middle of this beauti-ful, forested campus. It’s just a fantastic way to spend a Sat-urday.”

Co-sponsored by Texas A&M Forest Service and Lone Star College-Montgomery, Expo & Spring Fling places an emphasis on education with a heavy dose of family fun.

For the adults, we’ll have ex-perts on hand to teach clinics and answer questions about trees, plants, water, wildlife, forests, fish, ponds and green building.

For the kids, we’ve got the Family Adventure Zone, where they can climb a rock wall, paddle around in a kayak, practice their aim with a bow and arrow and even have their picture made with Smokey Bear.

The Montgomery County Arbor Day Ceremony will be held at the start of Expo & Spring Fling, serving to kick off the event. Free tree seedlings will be handed out throughout the day, while sup-plies last.

Busy sports weekend thebeginning of things to come

Now that the regular col-lege basketball season is over, major league baseball is still a couple of weeks away from starting and the NFL draft is a month away, the world of sports still is bustling after a very active weekend.

One of the biggest events concluded in Orange Sunday when the exciting and local economy-boosting four-day Bassmaster Elite Series Sabine River Challenge was won by Jasper pro angler Todd Fair-cloth.

Faircloth netted the $100,000 first-place money with his winning total of 49 pounds, 6 ounces over the four-day haul and won an au-tomatic entry into the 2014 Bassmasters Elite event.

Orange now has the dis-tinction of having the largest crowd to ever watch a Bass-master event as an estimated 33,000 onlookers witnessed either the 6:30 a.m. starts or the 3:15 p.m. weigh-ins dur-ing the four-day event. And with that many folks milling around town, Art in the Park on Saturday also benefited tre-mendously.

The tournament was spon-sored by the Stark Foundation and can be seen Sunday at 7 a.m. on ESPN, which filmed the entire four-day tourney and will somehow condense it into a one-hour show.

The NCAA Men’s Bas-ketball tournament bracket was set Sunday afternoon for the fortunate 68 teams that were chosen by the selection committee, as the final two teams—LaSalle and Middle Tennessee State—rounded out the field.

Middle Tennessee State met St. Mary’s and North Carolina A&T tangled with Liberty to get things started last night (Tues.) while LaSalle –Boise State and LIU-Brooklyn vs. James Madison play today (Wed.) in the opening round before second-round action begins Thursday and Friday.

The No. 1 team in the last two Associated Press Top 25 Men’s Collegiate Polls, Gonza-ga, did manage to nail down a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tour-nament along with Louisville, Indiana and Kansas, with Lou-isville having the honor of be-ing the tourney’s top team.

The Zags (31-2) were named as the nation’s No. 1 team in the AP Poll for the first time in the school’s history two weeks ago. But the small Jesuit school in Spokane, Wash. with an enrollment of only 4,900 has been to the NCAA Tourna-ment 15 years in a row and has made the Sweet 16 five times since 1999.

Oddly enough last year’s national champion Kentucky was not named to this year’s event and for the first time since 1977 no Texas team was

selected for the 2013 N C A A T o u r n a -ment. There were two s m a l l - c o l -lege teams (Northwest-

ern State and Southern) cho-sen from across the Sabine River in Louisiana.

The Texas Longhorns (16-17) and the University of Houston Cougars (19-12) were named to play in the College Basketball Invitational and strangely enough will face each other 8 p.m. tonight at the Hofheinz Pavilion.

Baylor (18-14) and Stephen F. Austin (27-4) landed berths in the National Invitational Tournament. The Lumber-jacks from the Southland Conference played at Stanford (18-14) Tuesday night while the Bears, NIT runners-up four years ago, will host Long Beach State (19-13) today at 8 p.m.

Most of the major league baseball teams made their first cuts last week in an effort to get ready for Opening Day at the end of the month. The Houston Astros reassigned 10 more players to their minor league camp paring their ros-ter to 39.

However most of the names of the players sent down are foreign to the average Astros fan. But so are most of the play-

ers who will be playing at Reli-ant Field as the upper manage-ment decided to go with young players to lay a foundation for a future championship team, if we all live that long.

Last week the NFL’s free agent marketplace opened and before one could blink an eye, our Houston Texans lost start-ing free safety Glover Quin, fullback/tight end James Casey and linebacker Connor Barwin to teams that could afford to wave big bucks at the talented trio. Cornerback Brice McCain could be the next Texan to leave.

This week the NFL’s Compe-tition Committee is meeting in Phoenix to consider several rules changes that will impact the games in future seasons.

Some of the items to be dis-cussed include a change in instant replay rules allowing for a video review even when a coach makes an illegal chal-lenge.

Our Houston Texans were the recipients of a blown call Thanksgiving Day against the Detroit Lions when Coach Jim Schwartz challenged an 81-yard touchdown run by Hous-ton’s Justin Forsett that stood even though replays clearly showed his knee was down. Schwartz could not challenge the call and when he did, the touchdown stood.

A proposal will be intro-

The Region 6 office of the Federal Emergency Manage-ment Agency (FEMA) is join-ing its federal, state and local partners in Arkansas, Louisi-ana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas to commemorate Flood Safety Awareness Week from March 18-22, 2013.

The week-long campaign provides an opportunity for emergency management ex-perts to work together in shar-ing information about the dan-gers related to flooding, how to prepare for flood events and ways to prevent future damage from floods.

“Flooding is the nation’s number one natural disaster and it can happen in any of our regional states,” said FEMA Region 6 Administrator Tony Robinson. “We encourage ho-meowners, renters and busi-

ness owners to find out if their home or business is at risk for flood and then take steps to address that risk.”

Before a Flood· Avoid building in a flood-

plain unless you elevate and reinforce your home.

· Elevate the furnace, wa-ter heater and electric panel if susceptible to flooding.

· Build an emergency kit and make a family communi-cations plan.

During a Flood· Listen to local officials

and monitor your local radio or television for information.

· Be aware that flash flood-ing can occur. If it does, move immediately to higher ground.

· Be aware of streams, drainage channels, canyons and other areas known to flood suddenly.

· Do not drive into flood-ed areas. Turn Around; Don’t Drown. Two feet of rushing water can carry away most ve-hicles.

After a Flood· Avoid floodwaters; water

may be contaminated by oil, gasoline or raw sewage. Wa-ter may also be electrically charged from underground or downed power lines.

· Be aware of areas where floodwaters have receded. Roads may have weakened.

· Return home only when authorities indicate it is safe.

March 18-22 Is Flood Safety Awareness Week

Staff at Texas State Parks began the Texas Outdoor Family (TOF) program a few years ago to encourage more people to get outside and en-joy the sights and sounds of the Texas Outdoors—teach-ing entire groups of people the basics of camping and outdoor safety.

And the program has been so successful, that now it’s grown to also include themed camping weekends for topics such as learning to mountain bike, which is being featured Sat. and Sun., March 23-24 at Stephen F. Austin State Park just west of the greater Hous-ton Metro area.

For just $65, up to six people

can learn not only two-days worth of basic camping and outdoor skills, such as pitch-ing a tent, building a camp-fire, geo-caching and kids’ junior ranger ethics, but for this weekend, trained experts will also teach participants all about mountain biking along scenic the trails of this wood-ed park.

Most all equipment, such as 6-person tents, hand-held GPS units, cookware, lanterns, stoves and fuel, and even mountain bikes are provided by Texas Parks and Wildlife. Participants should only bring food, clothing, sleeping bag and any personal items.

Advance registration via

phone to the State Park Cus-tomer Service Center is re-quired for all Texas Outdoor Family events, and attend-ees for the event at Stephen F. Austin State Park should meet on site at the park on Sat morning, March 23 by 9:30 a.m. Often, TOF weekends are sold out weeks ahead of time, but several available slots re-main for this event.

For more information visit http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/calendar/texas-outdoor-fam-ily-stephen-f.-austin-state-park-houston-1 or contact the State Park customer service center at (512) 389-8903 for registration.

Well I think it’s very safe to say that most all of the “doubt-ers” have been silenced thanks to not only the fishermen who competed in the Elite Series Sabine River Challenge but also to the ridiculously huge crowds that converged on the weigh in site. Time and time again all you could hear from anyone associated with the tournament was how big the crowds were. An estimated total of over 30,000 people attended the festivities which was a record for any Elite Se-ries event. To the naysayers

who said it couldn’t be done, the re-sults speak for them-selves.

The mon-u m e n t a l task of get-

ting the folks from B.A.S.S. to come to our little piece of the world was tackled by a host of local individuals and they should all be proud. Two of the ones I know personally, John Gothia and David Jones, were in the mix from the very first day and I’d like to pub-licly thank them for what they helped accomplish.

The Stark Foundation should be praised for their ef-

forts and support of the event as well, without them the event would have been nearly impossible to accomplish. I for one am extremely proud of how well the event went off and how much hospitality Or-ange county residents showed our visitors, it was truly amaz-ing.

As far as amazing is con-cerned there were several things during the tournament that would qualify as amaz-ing. First would be the lengths these fishermen were willing to go to in order to find fish. Hour long runs were the norm for most of the field and that was in just about every direc-tion on the compass. Mike McClelland ran 112 miles,

one way, to the other side of Galveston Bay four days in a row! That’s two hours one way and two hours back across two bay systems in a bass boat at some ungodly speed! I hope he was sponsored by Advil or Tylenol because he certainly needed some after those runs.

Perhaps the most amazing thing for me during the tour-nament was what angler Bill Lowen accomplished. Unlike the majority of the field Lowen stayed local, extremely local in fact. For four days Lowen camped out within trolling motor distance of the weigh in site and caught a limit every day. Not only did he catch a limit, he caught 38 pounds and 3 ounces worth of largemouth

bass and finished fifth overall. Now 5th place may not seem like much because he didn’t win but I guarantee you if you ask any local angler about his stringer for four days they will tell you that’s pretty incred-ible. If you compare his results to nearly any tournament held on the Sabine River locally Bill Lowen probably caught more keeper fish by himself in four days than the entire field of many local events. It’s just mind boggling that this guy picked apart the water he fished and came up with that kind of weight. In my opinion that’s the guy that could really call himself the Sabine River Champion.

The fantastic crowds and

local hospitality has certain-ly helped to make Orange a possible destination for oth-er events in the near future for both fresh and saltwater events. Even though many of the pro’s struggled at this event they certainly spoke well of the fishery and the people, many saying they hope to come back and try to figure out the fish because the chal-lenge was so good. Perhaps the main thing to take away from the whole event is that we have a tremendous place to fish right here in our own backyard and now folks from all over will get a chance to ap-preciate it as well.

duced that will ensure the play is reviewed and the right call is made. However, the coach mak-ing the illegal challenge because his team is out of timeouts, he has used up his challenges or if the game is in the final two minutes of the half or in overtime, his team will draw a 15-yard penalty.

Another matter that will be considered is the “tuck rule” when the passer brings the ball down and then fumbles as opposed to being in the act of throwing when the ball squirts loose. The game officials will go into replay and de-cide whether or not it is a fumble.

A rule for next season that many players dis-

like—especially those in the skill positions—is that players will be required to wear knee and thigh pads. The players believe the extra pads will slow them down.

KWICKIES…Two Sunset Grove golfers that I play with quite often had interesting experi-ences last weekend. Ken Ruane ran in the Com-munity Christian School Lion’s Pride 5K Run Saturday morning at Claiborne West Park and won the Masters Award for being the first male over 40 years old to cross the finish line. Ruane, who finished in the top 10 of the estimated 100 participants, had an impressive time of 22:20 which is good for any runner, especially one who is 71 years old. And Jim Rodda eagled the Par-5 No. 15 hole at Sunset while competing in the Men’s Golf Association’s One-Man Scram-ble format Saturday morning by using two driv-ers and a putter.

Athletic supporters were first used by bicycle riders (jockeys) in the early 1900’s for protec-tion and support when riding over cobblestone roads, hence the name jockey-straps.

Defensive lineman Elvis Dumervil was waived by the Denver Broncos Friday after a foul-up by his agent Marty Magrid, who failed to fax Dumervil’s signed $8 million contract to the team by Friday’s 1:59 p.m. deadline. The original contract called for Dumervil to receive $12 million, but he agreed to take a $4 million cut to remain with the Broncos. Dumervil fired Magrid after the snafu. Quarterback Matt Has-selback was released by the Tennessee Titans Monday afternoon, according to ESPN.

JUST BETWEEN US…There are so many teams capable of getting hot in the next two weeks and winning the 2013 NCAA Men’s national basketball championship. Everybody likes Louisville, which is favored to win it all, but I think that if Duke can make it to the Mid-west Regional finals, the winner between Duke and Louisville should be the national champi-on. I really like Ole Miss as a dark horse, but they must get by red-hot Wisconsin early Fri-day in their first game. Georgetown has been playing well and could reach the Final Four.

duced that will ensure the play is reviewed and the right call is made. However, the coach mak-ing the illegal challenge because his team is out of timeouts, he has used up his challenges or if the game is in the final two minutes of the half or in overtime, his team will draw a 15-yard penalty.

Another matter that will be considered is the “tuck rule” when the passer brings the ball down and then fumbles as opposed to being in the act of throwing when the ball squirts loose. The game officials will go into replay and de-cide whether or not it is a fumble.

A rule for next season that many players dis-

like—especially those in the skill positions—is that players will be required to wear knee and thigh pads. The players believe the extra pads will slow them down.

KWICKIES…Two Sunset Grove golfers that I play with quite often had interesting experi-ences last weekend. Ken Ruane ran in the Com-munity Christian School Lion’s Pride 5K Run Saturday morning at Claiborne West Park and won the Masters Award for being the first male over 40 years old to cross the finish line. Ruane, who finished in the top 10 of the estimated 100 participants, had an impressive time of 22:20 which is good for any runner, especially one who is 71 years old. And Jim Rodda eagled the Par-5 No. 15 hole at Sunset while competing in the Men’s Golf Association’s One-Man Scram-ble format Saturday morning by using two driv-ers and a putter.

Athletic supporters were first used by bicycle riders (jockeys) in the early 1900’s for protec-tion and support when riding over cobblestone roads, hence the name jockey-straps.

Defensive lineman Elvis Dumervil was waived by the Denver Broncos Friday after a foul-up by his agent Marty Magrid, who failed to fax Dumervil’s signed $8 million contract to the team by Friday’s 1:59 p.m. deadline. The original contract called for Dumervil to receive $12 million, but he agreed to take a $4 million cut to remain with the Broncos. Dumervil fired Magrid after the snafu. Quarterback Matt Has-selback was released by the Tennessee Titans Monday afternoon, according to ESPN.

JUST BETWEEN US…There are so many teams capable of getting hot in the next two weeks and winning the 2013 NCAA Men’s national basketball championship. Everybody likes Louisville, which is favored to win it all, but I think that if Duke can make it to the Mid-west Regional finals, the winner between Duke and Louisville should be the national champi-on. I really like Ole Miss as a dark horse, but they must get by red-hot Wisconsin early Fri-day in their first game. Georgetown has been playing well and could reach the Final Four.

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.
