BC Heritage Festival slated for Oct. 4

The Bridge City Historical Society will host the 2014 Bridge City Heritage Festival from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Satur-day, October 4, at the Bridge City Community Center and the surrounding grounds at 105 Parkside, in Bridge City.

The heritage festival will fea-ture live music, including Three Legged Dawg and Cen-ter Stage, among other per-formers. There will be arts and crafts, snacks and popcorn, a silent auction, and pictures/videos of Bridge City past streaming inside the commu-nity center.

There will also be a variety of food vendors, bingo, dunkin’ booth, and a children’s arcade featuring: dime toss, duck pond, ring toss, milk bottle baseball throw, Plinko, face

painting, a clown, and a carica-ture artist and other family ac-tivities on the surrounding grounds.

This year, Terry and Ella Stuebing will be honored at the festival for their years of ser-vice.

Richard Briggs, Bridge City ISD athletic director, who has worked with the Stuebings for years said every community has that person who is willing to do the work or organize a group that others might shy away from. A community also may have that individual who sees the importance of making sure all the little details are taken care of. And then per-haps another individual who sees the ‘big picture’ and em-braces the role of a leader in making sure that that ‘big pic-ture’ remains in focus and that the positives of the community are recognized and celebrated.

“Bridge City, Texas is cer-

tainly blessed to have two peo-ple who do all these things and carry them out with dignity, and with grace, and with a whole bunch of laughter!” Briggs said. “Ella and Terry Stuebing, over the course of many, many, many, many,

many, many …. decades have made Bridge City a better place to live and, most importantly, have brought kindness, joy, and compassion into the lives of the people of Bridge City.” He add-ed it is the people of Bridge City that make the city great

and it is an honor to recognize Ella and Terry Stuebing as two who have made such outstand-ing contributions toward achieving that greatness.   

Terry Stuebing, known as “The Voice of the Cardinals,” was born in New Haven, Conn.

Being part of a military family, he lived in various places throughout the United States and the world.

In 1968, he graduated from

Have questions about the Bridge City Independent School district’s bond elec-tion? Mike King, superinten-dent of schools, has some an-swers to your questions and possibly some questions you haven’t thought about.

These questions and an-swers along with others can be found on the BCISD website. King also encourages anyone with questions to submit them on the web site for answers. Below are questions and an-swers from www.bridgecity-isd.net

When is the election?Early Voting begins October

20 and runs through October 31. The regular election date is November 4.

As taxpayers, when will we see the tax increase?

This is projected to be 24-30 months from the time the bond passes and bonds will be sold as construction progress-es. The entire amount of the bond will not be sold until the project is complete. Therefore; the total tax rate of $0.19 will

not be realized until all the bonds are sold.

Can the needs identified by the facility committee be met without building an auditori-um?

The high school does not have a regulation stage nor practice facility for Theatre Arts. There is not a facility that is designed for concerts, theatre and dance perfor-mances. Therefore; to build a facility that provides the need-ed practice facilities for our Fine Arts programs and not include an auditorium perfor-mance venue does not fully address the needs of our stu-dents and programs.

What is the square footage (square foot) and projected percentage of cost of the dif-ferent areas of the Cardinal Complex in relation to the overall cost of the bond?

These percentages are all based on projected cost and take into account that the au-ditorium has higher ceilings. All percentages are based on the total cost of the bond at $25 million.

The auditorium is 28,000

of Orange County, TexasSickness is everywhere in the news these

days. Me, I just have a cold. I get one every

September, hide in my house, put on fluffy socks, take some Benadryl and sleep for three days straight. Note: this is not an ef-fective healthcare strategy. 

While we may be removed from the hor-rors of some of the diseases making the rounds in television and the papers, most of us aren’t safe from some of the more common ailments that crop up in late sum-mer. 

Especially if you’re in school. The tip I see repeatedly says prevention

is the best treatment, but that becomes sig-nificantly more difficult in areas with little leg room like classrooms, or shared living spaces. You can’t stop breathing.

Limiting my exposure was particularly difficult my freshman year of college, when I lived in a poorly ventilated former study room with three other girls. We had no pri-vacy, much less a way to escape contagion. If one of us had a cold, well, tough. There was no getting away from it. 

(I wasn’t sure what enduring life lesson this was supposed to teach us, other than how to blow your nose in the middle of the night without waking up everyone else.)

But there were things I could have done to lessen my chances of catching the bug

du jour, if I had only been more mindful of my behav-ior. 

College is an idyllic time when many cash-strapped kids in their late teens and early twenties band together for the com-mon good. Which is awe-

some. A lot of stuff gets passed around, like notes or food. “When someone gets Bron-chitis” is a good time to stop doing that. Limit your contact with items of a sick per-son. 

Also: do not eat or drink after them. This one seems like common sense. But “The alcohol in it will kill the bug,” a com-mon justification for sharing drinks, still got me sick. Don’t share a Coke, don’t share a margarita. Flu season is a good excuse for stinginess. 

In fact, I did a lot of stupid, mindless things that landed me in the health center in college. I didn’t think to wash the medi-cine cup that came with the half-full bottle of DayQuil from my previously sick neigh-bor across the hall before using it. At home, that kind of thing was done for me. In the dorms, all bets were off. I got a killer sinus

infection. And if you have come into contact with

doorknobs or surfaces like desktops — which you might have to share with mil-lions of Rhinovirus cells— do not touch your face until you can wash your hands. Keep hand sanitizer handy for when you can’t. The average adult touches his or her face once every three minutes, and many common ailments are the result of touch-ing contaminated surfaces. 

What it boils down to is this: pay close attention to the things you come in contact with during times you’re likely to be ex-posed, and asking mom to send some Lysol wipes in her next care package isn’t a terri-ble idea, either.

square foot. This includes the lobby, restrooms, mechanical rooms, concession, auditori-um, stage, back stage and dressing room. It is projected to be 22% of the total bond amount or $5.5 million. (The auditorium has higher ceilings and has a greater cost per s.f. as a result.)

The theater, band, dance and choir practice and class-room areas are 29,000 square foot and are projected to be 21% of the total bond amount or $5.25 million.

The athletic area of the Car-dinal Complex is 27,000 square foot and is projected to be 20% of the total bond amount or $5 million.

The seven additional class-rooms are 11,500 square foot and are projected to be 9% of the total bond amount or $2.25 million.

The renovations at the base-ball/softball complex will be six percent or $1.4 million.

If I am 65 years of age or old-

er; will my taxes on my prima-ry residence (homesteaded) go up?

No. Your taxes on your pri-mary residence, where your homestead exemption is ap-plied, are frozen at the age of 65 years.

How long has this been con-sidered and discussed?

This bond is the result of al-most 2 years of discussions by administrators, directors, community members. It has led to the creation of a Com-

munity Facility Committee that has toured facilities, held meetings, led community meetings and created commu-nity surveys. All this discus-sion and work has identified the areas of need that are ad-dressed with this bond.

How were the prices for the projects determined?

These are projected proba-ble cost estimates that are based on historical cost of pre-vious projects of a similar na-ture. The architect developed these cost estimates based on current market values for commercial construction. As a public entity that receives federal funding, we must ad-here to the Davis-Bacon Wage Rate for subcontractors. Infor-mation concerning the Davis-Bacon Wage Rate can be found at http://www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts/dbra.htm

Did these projects go out for bids to contractors? What contractors will bid these proj-ects?

This project will be compet-itively bid upon passing of the bond. It will be posted and lo-cal general contractors will be given the opportunity and en-couraged to bid on project(s). As in any construction project we plan on cost savings to be

realized through the competi-tive bidding process. The amount of bonds sold will be determined by the final cost of the project which will not ex-ceed $25 million but could be less if the cost savings are real-ized through the bid, design and construction process.

What has/is being done about the air conditioning at the Middle School?

In the 2011-12 school year the district replaced a cooling tower at the Middle School. In the spring of 2012 an indepen-dent engineering firm did an evaluation of the chiller unit at the Middle School and it was determined by the indepen-dent engineering firm that the chiller was operating well within specifications. It was determined that the air condi-tioning issues could be attrib-

uted to the old pneumatic sys-tem of the control boxes in the trunk lines throughout the building. In the summer of 2013 the district replaced all of the pneumatic systems in the control boxes with state-of-the-art digital systems. These systems allow the tem-perature to be controlled and monitored on site at the ther-mostat and remotely from the Service Center. As issues arise they are communicated to the campus principal and the ser-vice department. Both groups monitor the issue to ensure that the matter is resolved. Since the installation of the new digital systems and the

 initiation of the monitoring system, the volume of air con-ditioning issues on the cam-pus has decreased dramatical-ly.BC Heritage Festival From Page 1

From the Creaux’s Nest

WAITING FOR FALLWhat A great fall-like weekend, just a teaser. Autumn around the nation begins next Tuesday, Sept. 23 but here on the Gulf Coast it usually starts a month later. I haven’t decided for sure yet but I’m thinking we’re going to have a pretty cold winter. I’ll have to watch nature a little more before I know for sure. The squirrels, birds and coons, along with the livestock, will tell you a lot if you study them. My old friend goes by the leaves on the trees he watches when the color changes or if there is early leaf fall. Honestly, I also check the old Farmer’s Almanac. Fortunately a high pressure over most of the coastal areas has protected the U.S. from a hurricane. High pressure turns the storms out to sea. I hope our prediction of no hurricanes this season holds. Keep praying for high pressure to hang over us for another month. *****I’ve got a long way to go. I would appreciate it if you would be so kind as to come along. I promise it won’t do you no harm.

CONDOLENCESWe were sorry to hear of the death of our longtime friend Charley Johnson. Born Charles Henry Johnson, Jan. 6, 1933, he died Sept. 10 at the age of 81. Service was held Saturday, Sept. 13. He and wife Pat had owned the Wayside Inn in Bridge City. When they closed the restaurant, Charley went into home building with his sons. Pat for many years operated the restaurant at Sunset Grove Country Club. Anyone who ever met Charley will never forget him. His tobacco habit was a short, unlit cigar sticking out the side of his mouth and I will never forget his hearty laugh. He was a good man. To Pat and her entire family we extend our deepest condolences. 

TEXANS CHEATED WITHOUT MEDICAID EXPANSION

Texas governor Rick Perry, like many other Republican governors, has rejected the $88 billion from the federal government that would fund the Medicaid provision of the Affordable Care Act. Working people make up more than half the potential beneficiaries in Texas. For the six million uninsured people in the state it’s unlikely they will be able to get insurance any other way. A study described them as cashiers, mechanics, cooks, laborers, barbers, home health aides, and many others. The blue collar workers work every day but just don’t make enough to buy health insurance and they make too much to be placed on regular Medicaid. In Texas, like in other states without Medicaid Expansion, which by the way doesn’t cost the state a dime, hospitals are feeling the pinch. They are not getting the benefit of having more of those uninsured people get coverage through Medicaid. The problem for rural hospitals is that they still have to provide care for the uninsured. The State Health Exchanges and Medicaid Expansion were supposed to reduce the percentage of the uninsured in Texas. Small rural hospitals have taken a double hit. Also are taking a big hit are counties, like Orange, that must pay for indigent care, nearly $2 million a year of tax payer money that could be cut or eliminated. A study by the Urban Institute found uninsured military veterans and spouses are being deprived of health care because they fall in the Medicaid gap and live in a state where it’s not being explored. Helping the poor, working class and otherwise get access to health care, benefits them and the rest of society. Politics is being played in Texas and other states. That hurts many citizens just became the program comes under the Affordable Care Act. Gov. Perry, as a candidate for U.S. president, believes to accept the free federal money hurts him with conservatives. On the issue Republican nominee for governor Gregg Abbott also says he will not expand the Medicaid provision if elected. Instead, the state today is spending $500 million a year and getting very little for it. Texans are being cheated and many citizens are seeing politics played with their health. In Texas, if an employee earns less than $11,300 a year they fall in the gap and can’t buy into any insurance program, unlike states that provide the Medicaid Expansion at no cost to the state. Many lives could be saved under the program. Some Republican red states have discovered the foolishness of not being in the program and have expanded the Federal Medicaid program for their citizens. It doesn’t make sense not to. The voters should be aware that there are times to play political games but not with the lives of good hard working citizens who have been put in a health trap by the politicians.

TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME10 Years Ago-2004

Rex Peveto is a candidate for State Representative, Dist. 19, running against incumbent Mike Hamilton. Peveto claimed Hamilton supported Tom DeLay’s plan to redistrict Southeast Texas and transfer local congressional power to Houston. Peveto said on July 7, 2003, Hamilton voted against an amendment which would have left the congressional line unchanged and Jim Turner as congressman. (Editor’s note: Rex lost the race because of a big block vote in Hardin County. Rex, like his dad Wayne, would have been a good representative. Hamilton was

later defeated by the same Hardin County voters who elected him. *****Gone But Not Forgotten: Georgette E. Daves, 91, of Orange, died Monday, May 21.

A FEW HAPPENINGSLast week was a happy week around the Dunn home place. Grandson Sean Cade Gros, who completed Coast Guard boot camp with Charlie Company, Cape May, New Jersey, and was able to fly home for a quick four day visit. The family is extremely proud of Sean. Getting into the Coast Guard is not easy and he was on a one year waiting list before he was accepted. He is stationed at Hampton Bays, New York. Sean is Karen’s middle son. Also visiting last week was Phyl’s sister Jo Ann who lives in Hot Springs, AK.*****A belated happy birthday to a wonderful lady Gladys Hall of Orange, who turned 95 last Saturday, Sept. 13. Ms. Hall, a member of Little Cypress Baptist Church, was honored at the church with a party attended by more than 100 people. Keep on keeping on Ms. Gladys.*****Also celebrating his 90th birthday was our longtime friend Grady Johnson, former mayor of Pinehurst, affectingly called the “Governor of Pinehurst.” Grady and Neighbor Cox, both turned 90 this week. They are both from Shelby County, in East Texas, and they are both great guys with East Texas values.*****My thoughts today are with Linda “Granny” Newton. The biggest losses in her life occurred on Sept. 26, in different years. On Sept. 26, 1990, she lost her beautiful daughter Ruby Ann Sutton Beard. Age 20, in a auto accident. On Sept. 26, 2008, she lost her son Edward Cason Newton, only 34 years old to double pneumonia. Then on Sept. 26, 2012, Linda lost her husband Clarence Dale Newton, age 76, who died of an accident.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEKFelix Comeaux’s boy Gosleaux got all caught up in the patriotic spin after 9-11 and he wanted to do his part by joining the Army and going to Afghanistan to get bin Laden and his terrorist.He caught da Greyhound bus on Highway 90 and rode to Lafayette. He walk in da Army recruitment office and he tell dat soldier in uniform, “My name is Gosleaux Comeaux and to da war me, I’m ready to go.Dey sign him up and put him on da next bus to Fort Polk.Wen he got dere, they gave him some toot paste and a toot brush, den dey sent him to da Army dentist. He pulled tree of Gosleaux teets.Den dey gave Gosleaux some shampoo and a hairbrush. Wen he came back da barber cut all of his hair off.Next dey gave him a jock strap. Poor Gosleaux ain’t been heard from since. He went AWOL  13 years ago, him.

C’EST TOUTLast week President Obama spoke to the nation about the United States plans and strategy to conform the ISIS situation. He and the generals, along with the Pentagon, have laid out well thought out plans for air strikes. Ground troops will be made up of Iraqi and other coalition forces. The President has asked for congressional support. Already they want to play politics, drag their feet and stall by debating the issue. They will never vote before the election. Anytime our Commander-in-Chief declares a war effort that should be the water’s edge for all Americans. Within forty minutes after the President’s address to the nation Sen. John McCain was on three different networks criticizing our governments plan. He wants troops on the ground. He and Sen. Graham wanted troops on the ground in Syria and the Ukraine. By now we would have had many youngsters killed or maimed. The President’s plan in the Ukraine, the sanctions against Russia, has worked without losing one American. Putin has backed down. Today there are no troops in the Ukraine. Gen. Petraeus shot down McCain’s attacks and said the Commander-in-Chief is making the right calls in Iraq. On “Meet the Press” Sunday Jim Baker said today’s problems in Iraq go back to the invasion and occupation of Iraq by the U.S. At the time Baker warned President Geo. W. Bush not to invade. He said, “If you break it, it can’t never be put back together again.”  McCain and Graham will never be satisfied with any strategy that doesn’t include U.S. boots on the ground. We have the war mongers and the fear mongers. Social media is loaded with false information, even that ISIS is crossing our southern borders. The talk at FOX News and talk radio seems to be very un-American. In time of conflict when you criticize our Commander- in-Chief, you hurt America’s image around the world, while he is trying to gain support for this important and dangerous conflict. There is a time when politics stops at the water’s edge and this is it. I have confidence that the President won’t lead us off into a war that will cost many American lives. He is being criticized for his foreign policy but look at the entire picture. He hasn’t done too badly. McCain wanted to leave 40,000 troops in Iraq. Many would have died in a conflict with terrorist. Iraq under Saddam had a high middle class, fine universities and no weapons of mass destruction. Obama didn’t break it. This is not the time to not stand with him.*****Well, I’ve gotta go. Probably said too much already but I dislike people who claim to be patriotic and when the gig is up they fold. We’re one country, we best become united. Take care and God bless.

A quick whistle brings hummingbird memoriesMelodie McClainFor e Record

Once in a while a creature of the wild will inter-act with a human in a bizarre and special way.Bridge City resident, Gary Boudreaux, has recentlyexperienced one of those unique happenings.

Boudreaux moved to Bridge City about threeyears ago. He lives with his wife, Shirley, on DixieDrive behind the Post Office. A few weeks ago hewas in his back yard “working around my shack”,he said, getting his lawn mowers ready to mow.

A bird chirping wildly caught his attention so hecame out of his shed to see what the ruckus was allabout. He spotted a young Mockingbird sitting onhis privacy fence chirping its little head off. Hestarted walking towards it, curious as to why it wasbeing so loud.

“e closer I got, the more it chirped,” laughedBoudreaux.

He moved gradually closer to the bird until hewas about three feet away from it. e bird stayedput on the fence and was not afraid. Astonished, hecalled to Shirley to come outside and see what washappening. Again, the little bird did not fly away asthey approached it. She could hardly believe it ei-ther.

e couple noticed a blue band on the bird’s leg.Boudreaux decided to take it a step further, movedin closer and stuck out his finger to see if it wouldhop on. Sure enough, that’s just what it did.

“It was a weird phenomenon,” he said.With the bird on his finger, he walked over to his

grandchildren’s swing set and let it perch on a bar.He tried feeding it some birdseed, but it was tooyoung to crack the seeds. So he sliced some seed-less grapes and put them in cold, ice water.

“It really loved that,” Boudreaux stated.e bird stayed all evening, seeming to enjoy

hanging out around the swing set. e next morn-ing, Boudreaux’s new feathered friend was stillclose by, chirping away.

Boudreaux gave a whistle and the fearless birdflew to the swing set for another visit. Because ofthe blue band on its leg, he decided to name it“Bandy” and for six more days Bandy came calling

when Boudreaux would whistle. One afternoon,when he was trying to take some pictures, Bandydecided to perch first on the camera, and thenjumped from his shoulder right up onto his head.

“e grandkids and a few neighbors found it allquite interesting,” he added.

Boudreaux was curious about the band onBandy’s leg and started asking around about it. Abird lover from the bird watching trail in BridgeCity, said the bird may have fallen out of the nestand been raised by humans for a short time until itcould fly. e blue band would let them be able toidentify the bird as the one they had cared for ifthey saw it again. is would explain why Bandydoes not have a normal fear of humans and did notfly away when Boudreaux approached it.

A woman employee at the botanical gardens toldBoudreaux the blue band was used to identify abird’s flight patterns and habits. She added that heshould enjoy the unusual interaction while it lastedwith Bandy because he, or she, would soon flyaway.

Her prediction proved to be correct. Boudreauxhasn’t seen Bandy for several weeks. But now andthen he gives a whistle, just in case his extraordi-nary, chirpy friend is close by.

Coastwide seagrass rule anniversarysignals ongong hope for vital resource

is month marks the one-year anniversary of a law passedby the 83rd Texas Legislatureprohibiting the uprooting of sea-grass with the propeller of a boatwithin the coastal waters ofTexas. Seagrasses are importantas they stabilize sediments, de-crease erosion, improve waterquality and clarity, increase dis-solved oxygen, and provide inte-gral habitat for recreationallyand commercially importantspecies, such as red drum, blackdrum, and spotted seatrout.

Motorboat “prop scars” occurwhen a boat propeller digs intothe bay bottom where seagrassoccurs. is typically occurswhen a boat accelerates to get onplane in water that is too shallow,although it can occur at any op-erating speed when the water isshallow enough for the propellerto come in contact with the sed-iment and roots of the seagrassplants. ese prop scars causeerosion and loss of seagrass habi-tat, which can take a long time torecover and may even worsenover time.

A similar regulation whichprevents the uprooting of sea-grass has been in place since2006 in the Redfish Bay StateScientific Area (RBSSA) nearRockport. Since the Redfish Bayregulation passed, TPWD hasobserved a 45 percent decreasein the number of propeller scarsin the RBSSA. TPWD CoastalFisheries Division biologists whohave led seagrass monitoringand public education are hopefulthe RBSSA success will be mir-rored coastwide as the new reg-ulation protects seagrass in allcoastal Texas waters.

Seagrasses have great eco-

nomic and environmental im-portance. e extensive root sys-tems found in seagrass bedsstabilize sediments and reduceerosion, improve water qualityand clarity, and provide habitatfor invertebrates such as shrimpand crabs. Seagrasses are alsophotosynthetic (they convertsunlight and carbon dioxide intooxygen and sugars), whichmakes them a main primary pro-

ducer and increases dissolvedoxygen in the water. Finally, sea-grass beds provide a structurallydiverse habitat for recreationallyand commercially importantspecies, such as Red drum, Blackdrum, and Spotted seatrout.ese juvenile fish can findrefuge from predators in sea-grass beds, as well as a copioussupply of prey living within thegrasses.

The forecast of bad weather and rain didn’t stopthe Mustangs from travelling to Jasper this pastFriday night. It also didn’t stop the Mustang de-fense OR offense, who gave the Bulldogs a prettynice 34-7 whipping in front of their home crowd.

“We got us a victory, even though we thoughtthat it might get rained out, like last year,” HeadCoach Cornel Thompson said. “We got after itpretty good even though we had a few busted as-signments.”

The Bulldogs, who were touted to have a prettybalanced offensive attack, had to resort to theirrunning game because the Mustang secondary wasjust too tough. WO-S held Jasper quarterbackQuentin Williams to just 1 completion of 15 for 6yards. However, he had three completions to theMustangs-two to Trey Spencer and one to DeionteThompson.

The Mustang offense also got going early. Start-ing quarterback Will Johnson scored on a five yardrun around the left side in the first quarter andHector Vela’s PAT was good to put the Mustangsup, 7-0. Johnson also had a pass for a touchdownto Dee Wolfford that was caught right at the goalline to score before the half. Vela’s PAT made it, 14-0 and that was the score at the half.

“Dee made a great play on the goal line,” Thomp-son said. “He jumped higher than we all thoughthe could to make that catch and score.”

Scoring twice in the third quarter put the gameout of reach for Jasper.

Johnson scored on an 8 yard run. The defensegot in on the scoring when the chain gang forced afumble and linebacker Steven Tims picked up theball and ran it back 79 yards for the score.

Jack Dallas, who was injured early in the gameagainst PN-G last week, came into the game in thethird and scored the last touchdown on a 6 yardpass to receiver Jeron Preston in the back of theend zone.

Sophomore Malek Phillips also got to call thesignals for part of the fourth quarter. In fact, twotouchdowns were called back for holding while hewas leading the team.

“We shot ourselves in the foot a few times withdropped passes, the off sides calls and the twoholding calls,” Thompson said. “Those are mentalthings that we need to correct.”

Next up for the Mustangs are the Silsbee Tigers,and the former district rival will definitely bringtheir A game to Dan R. Hooks Stadium on Friday.Silsbee (1-3) is coming off of their first victory ofthe season, beating Livingston, 27-13. Their losseswere to Barber’s Hill, 42-24, and Coldspring, 32-7.

But it happens in every yearlydraft to those super-talents whoare chosen or even signed as freeagents.

Most of the NFL players con-sider themselves lucky to be oneof the 53 members of the team oreven the dozen or so on the prac-tice team that runs the plays anddefenses of the nextopponent.All are paid quitehandsomely.

Nearly all of the NFL playersare model citizens off the fieldand are admired by the fans, es-pecially by the youngsters whohave a love for the game. Butlately there have been separateincidents concerning the sameissue—domestic violence—in-volving starting players from dif-ferent teams that are dominatingthe headlines.

All four of these alleged inci-dents have gotten the attentionof NFL Commissioner RogerGoodell, who after someprompting from the talk showsand threats of replacing him, fi-nally snapped to attention andmade a decision about the RayRice incident, where he knockedhis fiancée colder than a wedgein a casino elevator earlier thisyear.

What’s really strange is howthe punishment phase hadchanged in the Ray Rice assault,from it being a private matter ac-cording to the account given toGoodell by Rice and his now wifeand getting a two-game suspen-sion, to magically locating themissing elevator film of the inci-

dent and declaringRice suspended in-definitely by the NFLand having his con-tract terminated bythe BaltimoreRavens.

Goodell has beenunder fire for hishandling of leagueconsequences forRice’s domestic vio-lence case. But he

does have strong support fromthree influential owners—RobertKraft of the New England Patri-ots, Dallas Cowboys’ Jerry Jonesand Daniel Snyder of the Wash-ington Redskins.

In a random survey taken lastweekend involving a cross-sec-tion of NFL fans, 55 per cent be-lieve Goodell is not beingtruthful about not ever havingany knowledge of the elevatorfilms and their alleged unavail-ability. Only 45 per cent thinkGoodell should keep his job asNFL commissioner.

One person on a sports talkshow suggested that Goodellshould fine himself $1 millionand use the money for educatingNFL players and even youngstersinterested in the sport of footballabout the seriousness of domes-tic violence and that it is a zerotolerance issue.

Two other NFL players beinginvestigated by the league andtheir team officials for domesticviolence are Greg Hardy of theCarolina Panthers and San Fran-cisco 49ers Ray McDonald. eirrespective teams made them in-active at the last minute for Sun-day’s games.

Also declared inactive for Sun-day’s game was MinnesotaVikings’ star running backAdrian Peterson after he was in-dicted earlier in the week inMontgomery County on a childabuse charge stemming fromspanking his son this spring.

e indictment was handeddown last ursday and a war-rant for Peterson’s arrest was is-

sued Friday afternoon. eVikings immediately made himinactive for Sunday’s gameagainst New England which waswon handily by the Patriots 30-7.

Peterson’s attorney RustyHardin, who also handled RogerClemens case a couple of yearsago, said the incident involvedthe star athlete using a “switch”from a tree branch to spank thechild.

“Adrian is a loving father whoused his judgment as a parent todiscipline his son. He used thesame kind of discipline that heexperienced as a child growingup in East Texas,” Hardin told theHouston Chronicle reporter.

According to CBS Houston’sSports 610 Radio, the incidentoccurred in May with his 4-year-old son, who lives with hismother in Minnesota.

According to the station, Pe-terson admitted to police that hehad “whooped” his son on thebackside with a switch as a formof punishment. e athlete toldpolice that he gave two different“whoopings” to his son duringthat visit to Texas.

Once back in Minnesota, themother took the boy to a previ-ously scheduled doctor’s ap-pointment where she wasinformed that the marks on hisbody amounted to child abuse.Minnesota law enforcement no-tified Houston-area authorities.

After losing their best playerfor the New England game, theMinnesota Vikings announcedlate Monday morning their deci-sion to reinstate Peterson to theteam. He will participate in allthe practices this week and playin Sunday’s game at New Or-leans.

e Vikings elaborated aboutthe reinstatement of Petersonsaying the incident was a matterof due process. ey will let thelegal system proceed so the teamcan determine their futurecourse of action.

Steven Tims had a great night for the Mustangs. Not only did he torture Jasper's quarterbackQuentin Williams, he picked up a fumble and ran it back 79 yards for a touchdown. RECORDPHOTO: Meri Elen Jacobs

Last Saturday was noticeably coolerthan the previous Saturday, but out-side of a fairly stiff north wind andscattered showers, it was a stretch interming it a “sure enough” cold front.It did, however, move enough water topush some of the bait out of the back-water and into the bayous.

It was difficult determining just howmuch it helped the bite in the openlake due to the whitecaps rollingsouthward, but the bite in the bayousand around the mouth of the drainsdotting the river channel definitely improved. Red-fish and flounder provided most of the action andthe live bait fishermen reaped the greatest benefits,but those opting to stick with artificial did a littlebetter as well.

ere is no doubt that I could spendmore time south of the Causeway andhave a little better luck with the trout,but I don’t mind struggling to locatethem on the north end of the lake aslong as the flounder and redfish pro-vide a reliable Plan B. ere are neverany guarantees when it comes to fish-ing, but we have managed to limit onslot reds on even the toughest of daysthus far.

On the days that we have fished onlythe bayous, a quarter ounce spinner-

bait with a red shad or pumpkin-chartreuse fourinch Seas Shad trailer has been the ticket. We arecatching a few flounder with it as well, but a Gulpshrimp or curly tail rigged on a quarter ounce jighead has worked much better on the flatfish.

The Record • Week of Wednesday, September 17, 2014 • 5B

At this writing CommissionerGoodell has not intervened, butcertainly can suspend Petersonthe same way he did Ray Rice.

is Korner looks for there tobe a tremendous backlash eitherfor Goodell not doing anythingor if he intervenes that also willmake some people very unhappy.

According to USA Today’sdatabase of NFL arrests, therehave been 47 incidents of NFLplayers arrested and/or chargedin domestic violence sinceGoodell took over as commis-sioner in 2006. He didn’t take of-fice until Sept. 1. Had he startedin January, that number wouldbe 53.

Last week was not a good onefor Roger Goodell. And this onecould be even worse!!!

KWICKIES…e New Or-leans Saints are 0-2, losing bothgames this season on the finalplay after a questionable defen-sive call by unkempt overweightcoordinator Rob Ryan. Sunday ablown coverage enabled Cleve-land to complete a pass top awide-open receiver, setting upthe winning field goal for the sec-ond week in a row.

e Seattle Seahawks appar-ently are proving the old adagethat it’s very difficult to repeat asworld champions as the San

Diego Chargers were in com-mand from start to finish Sun-day, winning 30-21 and burningtheir vaunted pass defense for276 yards and three touchdowns.

e Cowboys played so poorlyin their home opener last weekagainst the 49ers that the VegasBoys made them a 3½-point un-derdog at the Tennessee TitansSunday. But the Pokes fooled allthe smart football folks by dom-inating the action and posting aneasy 26-10 victory. QuarterbackTony Romo completed 19-29passes for 148 yards and a touch-down and NO interceptions!!!

And our Houston Astros willNOT lose 100 games this seasonif they don’t win another gamethis season, nor will they finish at.500 or above if they win the restof the games. In games throughSunday the ‘Stroes stand at 66-83.

Lufkin Hudson graduate Bran-don Belt has had a real tough2014 season with the San Fran-cisco Giants, missing severalweeks with a broken finger andanother month with a bad con-cussion. e lanky first basemanfaced live pitching Monday andTuesday and should be activatedtoday (Wednesday).

JUST BETWEEN US…Al-though many sports gurus

picked the Houston Texans tolose both of their first two gamesthis season, they were favored bythe Las Vegas Boys in both con-tests. Not only did they winhandily over Washington 17-6and Oakland Sunday 30-14, butthey also marked the fifthstraight season to start off at 2-0.Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrickhas yet to be sacked or inter-cepted this season and hasposted quarterback ratings of109.3 and 129.1. e Texans havealready forced six turnoverscompared to only 11 for the en-tire 2013 season. e Texans ranthe football 46 times for 188yards, with star back Arian Fos-ter netting 138 on 28 carries in-cluding a 40-yard run to set up atouchdown. And to top it off,their 100-million-dollar man, J.J.Watt, scored a touchdown as atight end in a goal-line situation.And kicker Randy Bullock made15 consecutive field goals untilhe had one blocked late in thefourth quarter. I can’t imagine ateam that lost 12 straight NFLgames last year would get a littlecomplacent playing a 0-2 teamlike the New York Giants thisweek. e Giants are desperatefor a win and may believe theHouston Texans might be easypickings. I hope not.

When it comes to hooks, two barbs surely safer than six

While there are a number of factors to considerwhen picking the best spinnerbait for fooling bass,I have not found that to be the case with redfish orflounder. e only change that I occasionally makeis to change blades and I don’t know for certain ifit is the difference in the amount of vibration pro-duced or the larger profile of the bait that triggersmore strikes.

I always start with a number three gold Col-orado, but there are those days when a small Wil-low leaf is much more productive. e willow leafdoesn’t produce as much vibration, but it yields asmuch or more flash and is much easier to swimthrough the submerged grass in backwater lakes. Ifyou are confident that the redfish are holding in acertain area I would give both blades a try beforemoving to new water.

When we are fishing rock bulkheads it is verydifficult for me to fish anything other than acrankbait. e ability to reel a lure down to a cer-tain depth only to have it float back to the surfaceupon rest not only produces a lot of fish, but min-imizes costly hang-ups as well. ere may not be abetter crankbait for both trout and redfish in ourarea than the Swimming Image, but any shortbilled crankbait that will dive three to five feet willwork provided you are around fish and have thecolor they want!

ese little crankbaits are just as deadly crankedaround metal or wooden bulkheads, over shell andbetween cypress knees, but they lose some of theireffectiveness in scattered grass. For the most partwe seem to do better with lures in the 2 ¾ to 3-inchrange with a wide body and square bill that pro-duces a tight wobble and a lot of vibration.

OPEN HOUSE to the Community begins at NOON F, A, F M

Opening weekend of early teal sea-son can best be described as a classiccase of “have or have not”. For manyhunters it was one end of the spec-trum or the other and no in between.Rarely will you see birds as concen-trated as they are right now and thatpattern doesn’t look like it will changeany time soon. If you were one of thefortunate ones who were able to hunton or near any type of flooded agricul-ture, especially rice, you probably hadsome fantastic shooting. A little far-ther down the coast in counties where rice pro-duction is more prevalent the reports werefantastic as many hunters knocked out limits injust minutes.

e conditions for hunting along the coastalprairies was much less than desirable due to theunexpected cold front that blew through our areaand moved a large population of teal that hadshown up with the full moon. Many of the bestareas that held perfect amounts of water and foodwere void of teal after the rain and storms rolled in.Reports from most of the major public huntingareas were poor for the most part and some weredown right bad. September weather is usually theculprit for dove hunters but in this case the tealhunters really took it on the chin.

Now don’t get me wrong, the folks who were ableto get water either through captured rainwater orprivate wells near rice fields just absolutely hadmore birds than they could have ever hoped for.e combination of a record numbers of birds andfewer places for them to go translated into some

ridiculously good hunting for someand empty skies for others. I got a fewphone calls with reports Sundayevening that were mind boggling.Quick limits from large groups ofhunters were enough to make justabout any hunter jealous, especiallythose who struggled through theweekend.

Personally I look for the upcomingweek and weekend to be much betterfor all the teal hunters as we still havea relatively big moon at night and more

birds migrating into our area every day.e prospects will be much better as long as we

don’t suffer through any more bad weather. e tealare basically more finicky than doves and muchmore prone to move out of areas and keep flyingsouth rather than hang around in bad conditions.ere are still some huge populations north of usalong the flyway and they should hopefully maketheir way down very soon.

On the bright side of things we are already seeingsome decent groups of green winged teal andplenty of big ducks like spoonies, pintails, andsome gadwall. Having numbers of big ducks showup this early has to give waterfowl hunters a reasonto be optimistic for the general season opener inNovember. It shouldn’t be long before the firstspeckle bellied geese make an appearance either.e next good cool front should usher in somegeese and really make it feel like fall. Hopefully thisweekend the teal hunters will bounce back from adisappointing opening weekend and make up forlost time.

Teal season opens to mixed reviews

The start of teal season was a mixture of success and failure as hunters across the region foundeither all or none in their early-season efforts.

Little Cypress MauricevilleHigh School Coach, VickiCastino, was named Golf Coachof the Year by the Texas GirlsCoaches Association during aconference in Arlington this sum-mer. During the Sept. 8, meetingof the LCM CISD Board ofTrustees, she was recognized forthis outstanding achievement.

ShareLunker season begins Oct. 1ATHENS—e 29th season of

the Texas Parks and Wildlife De-partment (TPWD) ToyotaShareLunker program will beginOctober 1.

Anyone legally catching a 13-pound or bigger largemouth bassfrom Texas waters, public or pri-vate, between October 1 andApril 30 may submit the fish tothe Toyota ShareLunker pro-gram. Fish will be picked up byTPWD personnel within 12hours.

ShareLunker entries that ge-netic testing shows are pureFlorida largemouth bass are usedin a selective breeding programat the Texas Freshwater FisheriesCenter (TFFC) in Athens. Off-spring from ShareLunkers thatspawn are stocked into each wa-terbody that produces and entryduring the season. Some off-spring may be used for research,while others may be retained bythe hatchery system for use asfuture brooders.

e angler catching each fishdecides what will happen to itfollowing its use by TPWD.Most anglers choose to returnthe fish to the waterbody whereit was caught. Some donate thefish to TPWD for display atTFFC.

Fish that are intergrades, orhybrids of Florida and northernlargemouth bass, are not usedfor spawning and are returned tothe waterbody where caught assoon as possible. Genetic testingof ShareLunker entries showsthat pure Florida largemouthbass have as much as 18 timesgreater chance of producing a13-pound offspring as inter-grades do. Limited capacity atTPWD hatcheries requires usingall available pond space for theoffspring of pure Florida fish.

Anglers entering fish into theToyota ShareLunker program re-ceive a free replica of their fish, acertificate and ShareLunkerclothing and are recognized at abanquet at the Texas FreshwaterFisheries Center in Athens. eperson who catches the season’slargest entry will be named An-gler of the Year and will receive a

G. Loomis rod, Shimano reel andPowerPro line combination. Ifthe Angler of the Year is a Texasresident, that person also re-ceives a lifetime Texas fishing li-cense.

Prizes and funding for thebanquet are provided by Toyota,which also provides a Tundrapickup truck for use in pickingup and returning the majority oflunkers and their offspring.

ShareLunker catches can bereported 24 hours a day, sevendays a week during the season,by calling (903) 681-0550. If poorcellphone service prevents use ofthe voice number, anglers canleave a phone number (includingarea code) at (888) 784-0600.at number is also monitored24/7 during the season.

Most anglers who catchShareLunkers are unprepared tocatch and care for large fish. Yetcatching a 13-pound bass is pos-sible almost anywhere you fish inTexas. Taking a few simple stepscan help ensure the survival ofShareLunkers. First, carry alanding net, preferably a rubber

one or a net with unknottedmesh, to avoid damaging thefish’s slime coat. Fill your livewellbefore you begin fishing. Pro-gram the ShareLunker numbersinto your phone before the sea-son begins. Carry a scale andcheck its accuracy before theseason begins. Locate a placenear where you will be fishingthat has a certified scale and willweigh fish, such as a feed store,grocery store or bait shop. Offi-cial ShareLunker weigh andholding stations have been es-tablished at a number of reser-voirs; a list is athttp://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/visitorcenters/tffc/share-lunker/holding/.

For complete information andrules of the ShareLunker pro-gram, tips on caring for big bassand a recap of last year’s season,see www.tpwd.state.tx.us/share-lunker/.

e site also includes a search-able database of all fish enteredinto the program along with pic-tures where available.

Ministries to divorced, remarried strive to echo pope's call for mercyDivorce is never easy. From the realiza-

tion that love has failed to feelings ofshame and a tendency to assess blame, di-vorce poses an untidy conundrum for fam-ilies even when a couple settles on anamicable legal separation. In the eyes ofthe church, a divorced couple remainsmarried until a decree of nullity is issued,if a couple chooses to go that route.There's even more of a challenge for faith-ful divorced Catholics, who often misun-derstand church teaching on marriage.Divorced people may separate themselvesfrom the church, believing they have beenautomatically excommunicated or bannedfrom church activities even though theyhave not remarried.

People who are civilly divorced and donot marry someone else are not prohibitedfrom receiving Communion under canonlaw. However, church practice prohibits

people in irregular marriages -- thosecivilly remarried without receiving an an-nulment -- from receiving Communion,serving as lector or extraordinary ministerof holy Communion, teaching in aCatholic institution and holding certainparish or diocesan offices.

There is no prohibition on being in-volved in most other church ministries.About 20 percent of U.S. Catholics haveexperienced divorce, according to theGeneral Social Survey at the University ofChicago. The Center for Applied Researchon the Apostolate at Georgetown Univer-sity places the number of divorcedCatholics at about 11 million.

Bishops to launch national strategy to combat euthanasia

The Canadian bishops will partner with

two other movements in a national strategyto fight the push to legalize euthanasia intheir country. Gatineau Archbishop Paul-Andre Durocher, president of the CanadianConference of Catholic Bishops, called it a“campaign for palliative care and against eu-thanasia.”

The archbishop described the campaign,set to launch Sept. 28, as an “educationalcampaign to get people to be aware of thedifference between the two.” The bishopswill partner with of the Catholic Organiza-tion for Life and Family and the EuthanasiaPrevention Coalition in the “National Cam-paign for Palliative Care and Home Care,and Against Euthanasia and Assisted Sui-cide.” The archbishop said: “We are promot-ing a vision of life, a vision of care of thedying and that vision is best embodied ingood palliative care.”
