Bridge City City Council members were “in the pink” Tuesday evening to mark Oc-tober as Breast Cancer Aware-ness month.

To kick off the meeting, a proclamation was presented to Pat McKee, Beverly Perry and Irena Ramirez on behalf of the Julie Rogers “Gift of Life” program by Mayor Kirk Roccaforte. The proclamation helps to heighten awareness of breast cancer which im-

pacts hundreds of Southeast Texans each year and em-powers people to become bet-ter advocates for their health. The trio also

passed out disco ball necklac-es to attendees and an-nounced “let the party begin.”

In celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the “Gift of Life” foundation is bringing the Pointer Sisters to

the Beaumont Civic Center on Oct. 27 for a Saturday Night Fever of an evening with dinner and disco.

Another proclamation was

issued to Cindy Fertitta of the Rape and Suicide Crisis Cen-ter of Southeast Texas. Not only is it Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but also

National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

The Giving Hope Gala which is done in memory of Corbin Burnett who bravely battled brain cancer and Indy Parkhurst who is currently battling brain cancer will be held 6 p.m. Saturday at the La-mar State College-Orange student center. The evening will be one to remember while raising money for pediatric cancer through the The Cure Starts Now foundation.

Auction items for the event include a week stay at a condo in Orlando, Florida, theater tickets to the Lutcher Theater, a wine taster’s party basket, lunch for two for a year at the Old Orange Cafe, a Bling gui-tar, a custom pet bed, washer boards, various jewelry items, plus much more.

The rare form of brain can-cer, diffuse pontine glioma, which is inoperable affects

about 250 chil-dren per year. Unfortunately, there is cur-rently no cure for this deadly disease which is also the most resistant of all cancers to treatment.

DIPG affects the pons por-tion of the brainstem which renders the nervous system func-

tion impossible. Symptoms in-clude double vision, inability to close the eyelids complete-ly, dropping one side of the face, and difficulty chewing and swallowing. Unfortunate-ly these symptoms usually worsen rapidly because the tu-mor is rapidly growing.

PARKHURSTFirst Baptist Church of Bridge City dedicated a new historical marker on Sunday. The historical mark-

er honors the role the church has played in the growth and development of Bridge City over the past 72 years. Nearly 300 people attended the ceremony. It is the second of two new historical markers denoting the history of the community. The historical marker for the Cow Bayou Swing Bridge is also erected. The Orange County Historical Commission will dedicate that marker in November. Above are First Baptist Church charter members Betty Jane Parker Matthews, Bessie Lou Howard, H.D. Howard, Jr. and Pastor Bob Boone. The markers are awarded through the Texas Historical Commission in Austin.

H Cowboy Church is different than most traditional congre-gations. Sunday they celebrate “Church in the Dirt.” The 5th anniversary service will be celebrated in the rodeo arena. It will also include a free meal of barbecue brisket, links and all the fixings. Immediately following the meal will be a youth rodeo.

If you attend the service, then God pays your entry fees into the rodeo, according to the Rev. Dale Lee, pastor of Or-ange County Cowboy Church. Bracelets will be handed out to participants before 10:30 a.m. If you don’t attend the service, you can still enter the rodeo by paying the fees. A negative Coggins is required.

Scott Mendes, the 1997 world champion professional bull rider, will deliver the ser-mon.

“This will be the first Sun-

day service held in the are-na,” said Pam Scales Crew, a member of the church; “If the weather is good and that is what we are counting on.” She said they have devotionals at play days, but this will be the first complete Sunday service held in the arena. “We’re kind of proud of that.”

Lee said, “If the long-range forecast is accurate, it’s going to be perfect. It said 58 to 76 with no rain.”

“We’re really fortunate in the five years we’ve had the church we’ve never really rained out,” said Crew. She said one time in the first year, when they met in the blue barn on Texas 62, the bottom fell out about 3 p.m. “They were cleaning up and had to scramble to get things in the barn.”

Registration begins at 8 a.m. Church service begins at 10:30 a.m.

Cowboy Church is located at 673 FM 1078.

There have been no ar-rests in the more than 25 years since the murder of Iris Winfrey.

Winfrey was 82 years old when she was found in the afternoon hours of May 9, 1987 at her residence locat-ed at 935 Henderson in Or-ange. An autopsy would later reveal she was stran-gled to death. The lot where her house once stood is now overgrown with brush and high grass.

Sometime during the night of the same day she was discovered dead, a per-son is believed to have bro-ken into her house and at-tempted to set it on fire. The Orange Fire Depart-ment managed to extin-guish the fire before it blazed our of control.

Police arrested a family member on unrelated charges. He was questioned about the murder and then released.

Since then the trail had gone cold which leaves in-vestigators searching for new clues to help catch a murderer. The file is filled with many pages of typed reports, but information is still needed to make an ar-rest, according to Captain Cliff Hargrave of the Or-ange Police Department.

Anyone with any infor-mation is asked to call the Orange Police Department at 409-883-1026.

David Waxman of David Waxman Inc. addressed com-missioners’ court in a special session Tuesday regarding the Cow Bayou swing bridge on East Roundbunch Road in Bridge City and the Ike recov-ery 2.2 project.

“We have our second round of disaster money. That swing bridge and the renovation thereof was included in round two,” said Waxman. “We have $3,867,417 that includes con-struction and engineering.”

Waxman said the more they listened to everyone and read reports it became clear that it would be far more advanta-geous to replace than repair the bridge. It was decided be-fore they submitted the appli-cation they would meet with the General Land Office(GLO) and their staff and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to move towards a replacement rather than a re-pair. TxDOT would consider this a renovation and it would not lose the bridges’ eligibility for historical status.

“It appears that TxDOT will not agree to replace the bridge, but a renovation is a better term; quite a renovation,” said Precinct 3 Commissioner John Dubose Monday. They will ac-tually be replacing the part of the bridge that swings out.

“This thing will be serviceable for another 50 years,” said Du-bose.

The project would require closing the bridge until completion which has a re-quired completion date of Dec. 31, 2015. John Dubose said it is an important bridge because it is part of the evacuation route and is used by people that work on Chemical Row.

“Things are looking ex-tremely favorable,” said Wax-man. “I know there are some rules of the road that are hard to deal with and it makes it dif-ficult to do what we’re setting out to do.” Waxman said the language in the grant contract says rehabilitate or replace.

“TxDOT has a major role to play. This is no cheap proj-ect.” Waxman said the proj-ect would cost about $15.6 million. He said that’s about $915,000 less than what the county actually has. “Look-ing at all the numbers and everything that we can find, we have more than adequate funds to make our match to do whatever we’re called to do.” He said there were some geotechnical services and en-vironmental services that will have to be dealt with. “We have more than enough funds to do whatever we’re called to

do.” That would include spe-cialized inspections and envi-ronmental requirements.

Waxman said one problem that may come up is that once the contract is signed TxDOT wants to be paid up front. Waxman said he believes that can be worked out. He said with TxDOT wanting to part-ner with the County and put-ting up so much money, the opportunity should not be passed up. “It’s a unique op-portunity,” he said.

“So we’re getting a grant to match a grant?” asked Pre-cinct 1 Commissioner David Dubose.

“That’s exactly right,” said Waxman.

Waxman said he realizes there’s some historic value with the swing bridge and there are specific things that need to be done to preserve it. If it was up to him, he would build a totally new bridge. “This is a unique example of a bad bridge,” said Waxman. “If it were up to me I’d build a different kind of bridge. I don’t have a problem with histori-cal projects, but then, some things don’t need to be saved. But the opportunities here (to renovate the bridge) and I don’t think we’ll ever get an-other shot like this that some-body else will pick up the tab.”

He said the GLO has relaxed some of the regulations and are already issuing permits for the environmental studies.

Replacing the swing part of the bridge will have less im-pact on the environment than building a totally new bridge.

Waxman also asked the County to put up $13,750 for a grant application to get $275,000 in grant money for on-site sewer to help low in-come families solve their on-site sewer problems. He said by the time this money comes in it will almost be the next fiscal year so it’s not money that would be used this year.

John Dubose moved to ac-

cept the proposition. “I know this is a competitive grant and we have received it before and Joel was done well with it, it is

a helpful thing.” He said it was a good way to help with non-compliance. It would provide funds to tie in to public utili-

ties if available or provide on-site systems if not.

The motion passed.

Gala gives hope From Page 1

According to Cristy Bur-nett, Corbin’s mother, during his illness, the community reached out to her and her family and provided over-whelming support.

“The community took care of us,” she said. “That’s why I want to do this.”

Corbin was the first born of Cristy and Deon Burnett on August 22, 1991. Corbin was always a very happy little boy with a love of hunting with his father, baseball and the need for speed while riding his dirt bike.

In September of 2001 Corbin was diagnosed with the inop-erable tumor in his brain stem. There was no cure and they were left with few options. Over the next ten and a half months, Corbin’s parents watched their smart, athletic, all-American boy succumb to an unbeatable disease which they had no control over. Corbin faced his illness and death with dignity and grace.

“He is truly the bravest per-son I know or will ever know,” Cristy Burnett said.” We are so proud to be his parents.”

Corbin died in August 2002 which would have been his first day of junior high school.

Indy Parkurst, 5. is still fighting for his life. He has al-ways been an active boy. How-ever, in 2011 his parents began to notice one of his eyes turn-ing inward. After consulting with a specialist regarding their concerns, an MRI was performed in February 2011 and it was on this day the lives of Steve and Jennifer Parkhurst

were changed forever. Texas Children’s Hospital

informed Indy’s parents of an aggressive tumor growing in his brain stem, which came with an average lifespan of only 3 months to 2 years after diagnosis.

Indy began 6 weeks of brain-stem radiation and oral che-motherapy at MD Anderson Cancer Center in March 2011. He handled the daily trips like the champ he is and never let his morning radiation therapy slow him down. He would re-turn home each day and enjoy a full day of being Indy, which included popping fireworks, riding four wheelers, swim-ming, trampolines and cheer-ing on his favorite baseball team, the Little Cyress-Mau-riceville Bears.

After completing six weeks of radiation and a four week break from all things medical, a follow up MRI revealed some reduction in tumor size.

Following the break, Indy’s parents faced some tough de-cision. They could return to MDACC for chemotherapy or have Indy participate in a vac-cine trial at Children’s Hospi-tal of Pittsburgh. Indy quali-fied and began the vaccine therapy trial in Pittsburgh which involved a flight there every three weeks for eight rounds, during which Indy re-ceived two vaccines and peri-odic MRI monitoring of the tumor. He then went every six weeks for the same vaccine and MRI until his 13th trip May 2012.

It was on this visit the doc-

tor informed his parents, ac-cording to the trial’s protocol, Indy no longer qualified to continue as an active recipient of the vaccine since he had de-veloped some slight worsening of symptoms as well as some changes on MRI which indi-cated probable tumor growth.

The doctor recommended Indy participate in another tri-al just beginning at MDACC which involved re-irradiation of growing brain tumors. This trial is intended to reduce symptoms and size of the tu-mor and in turn, will hopefully slow tumor progression. Indy began re-irradiation treat-ments in July and completed the series in August. Now they have to wait for the results.

“In the long run, I just hope to see a cure,” Cristy Burnett said.

The corporate sponsor for the gala, Lanxess Corporation, made a generous donation of $10,000. However, they would like to challenge other plants and businesses to do the same.

derly abuse, it’s all the same thing—domestic violence,” Fertitta said. “Just a different name.”

It is all about control of power, she added. In other city business, council members passed an ordinance

to deny a rate increase by Centerpoint Energy Resouces Corp. The request was filed with the Public Utilities Commission and is part of the process before an increase can be agreed upon and approved.

A resolution was also passed to designate the Bridge City In-dependent School Administration Building as the polling site for city elections.

Finally before the meeting was adjourned, Danny Harrington was appointed as an alternate member to the Building Standards Commission.

From the Creaux’s NestBC’S BRYANT STAR OF THE WEEK

Matt Bryant kicked his second game winning field goal in three weeks. He beat Carolina 30-28 with five seconds left on the clock two weeks ago. Sunday, against the Raiders, he saw his streak of 23 consecutive field goals come to an end when he missed a 43-yarder that went wide left. He came back to make two field goals in the third quarter. With the score tied 20-20 and just one second left in the game Bryant was called on to win the game or go into overtime. Matt punched a long 55-yard kick right through the uprights for a 23-20 Falcon win. They re-main the only undefeated team in the NFL at 6-0. Matt is 14-1 for the season in field goals. He makes Orange County proud. He went from a pawn shop job to being an NFL star.*****Our guy Earl Thomas, with the Seahawks, had a pick in a winning effort. Meanwhile, Orange native, Coach Wade Phillips’ Texan defense took a licking in a first season loss to Green Bay.*****Local Longhorn fans were crying the blues after a 63-21 whipping by Oklahoma. Meanwhile, local Aggie fans felt lucky to beat Loui-siana Tech 59-57. They are shouting quarterback Johnny Man-ziel’s praises and boosting him for the Heisman.*****For histor-ical record, fearless Felix Baumgartner set a freefall record of breaking the sound barrier. He plunged to earth from 24 miles in space. While falling he reached speeds of 833.9 mph which is faster than the speed of sound.*****Next Monday will be the third and final presidential debate on foreign policy. That should be a good one for President Obama. His strong suit. It will be exactly two weeks before the election. Here at home, ear-ly voting starts Monday. Local races are important. You should vote.*****a great American, Sen. Arlen Specter, who spent 30 years in the U.S. Senate, died Sunday at age 82, from Hodgkins Lymphoma. A life long Republican, he had switched to the Democratic Party saying the Bush/Cheney Republican Party had swung too far to the right.*****I still intend to give my views on why I believe things would be much better in an Obama sec-ond term but more pressing current events came up taking space.*****I’d better get this one man and his bird show on the road. I’ve got a long way to go. I hope we can be informative and entertaining. It’s just me and this other old bird’s view. Take ‘um or leave ‘um. Come along, it won’t do you no harm.

OBAMA WINS WITH LEFT JABS AND RIGHT HOOKSPresident Obama had Gov. Mitt Romney on the ropes be-

fore the first debate but instead of knocking him out he let him survive for another round. In between rounds, V.P. Joe Biden took on Con. Paul Ryan in a debate and won by doing just what he needed to do. He woke up the democratic base and reached the women that were starting to get away. He defi-nitely reached the independents. Biden kept Ryan on the de-fense while driving the central points home. He showed time and again that Romney/Ryan would be taking care of only the wealthy. The split screen made Joe look like he was too adjecti-val but that gave the extreme right reason to spend three days criticizing him. Taking the heat off of President Obama’s first debate was the goal and Joe accomplished that. The next round, the second debate, took place Tuesday night in a town hall debate setting. Obama showed up with a fresh new ap-proach, not to let Mitt Romney keep adjusting his views at will without being checkmated. In the first debate Romney amend-ed what he stands for at will. Romney has many positions on abortion. He has changed his tax policy to placate everyone from Grover Norquist, the Wall Street Journal and Paul Ry-an’s extreme budget tax plan that has yet to be explained. Also unexplained is the actual impact that will have on the poor and middle class. President Obama, in Tuesday’s debate, took time to explain to questioners what the future will look like if he keeps moving forward. He showed how far the country has come despite the obstructions of congress. He left the choices of going back to the Bush policies or the Clinton policies. He laid out a clear choice. The first debate caused President Bill Clinton to pen Romney, ‘Old Moderate Mitt.’ That was also my impression. In fact, I said it was hard to tell which candi-date was the most moderate. Romney had done a complete flip-flop from what he had been saying on the campaign trail. In the second debate it was Romney’s interest to put the presi-dent away. That didn’t happen. Instead, President Obama turned the tables on him and was clear and to the point on their differences. In Tuesday’s debate Gov. Romney ropey-doped, etch a sketched and danced around in the ring. Presi-dent Obama cornered him and counter punched and beat him on eight of the ten questions. Romney swung wildly through-out the round trying to find a balance. Romney was wrong on Libya and drilling on public lands. He could not explain the loop holes he would stop or how he would pay for eight trillion dollars in tax cuts. The president pointed out Romney’s secret video where Romney called 47 percent of the people depen-dent on the government. You saw Romney back peddle all night long like I did. President Obama won this second debate by a good margin. It wasn’t a knock out but the president far out pointed him. Had the president performed as good in the first debate this race would be over. There’s one more round to go next Monday.

PROTESTANTS NO LONGER MAJORITY IN U.S.For centuries America’s top religious brand has been “Prot-

estant,” that’s no more. In the 1960’s two in three Americans called themselves protestant. Today, both evangelical and main line protestants have slid down to 48 percent from 50 percent just five years ago, in 2007. They didn’t switch to other reli-gions, they just let go of any faith affiliation. The Pew Forum report says one in five Americans now claim no religious iden-

tity. This group, called “Nones,” is now the second largest cate-gory after Catholics. Thirty-two percent are under age 30 and unlikely to claim a religion with age. “Nones” are not atheists, agnostics and non-believers, some believe nothing in particu-lar. Pew Forum says 45 million are gone and not coming back to a religious belief. Many ‘Nones” are baby boomers, 68 per-cent believe in God or a higher power, 41 percent say they pray, 23 percent consider religion some what important. Fifty-eight percent say they feel a deep connection with nature and the earth. Today, “Nones” are tied with white evangelicals. Pew makes the point that the study comes amid an election catego-ry where the Republican Party, which placed protestants on it’s presidential ticket for a century, has nominated a Mormon, Mitt Romney and a Catholic, Paul Ryan, as his running mate. For the first time, if Romney is elected, a Mormon will hold the most powerful position in the world. Also today the United States Supreme Court includes six Catholics and three Jews and no Protestants. Point of interest: President Barack Obama is the only Protestant on both political tickets. Joe Biden is Catholic.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEKOtto Boudreaux was getting into da shower jus as wife

Mable was getting out. Jus den da door bell rang, Mable her, quickly wrapped herself up in a towel and ran downstairs. Wen she open da door, dere stands Rasco Comeaux, dere neighbor.

Before Mable say a word, Rasco say, Mabel, I’ll give you $400 to drop dat towel.”

Mabel tink about dat for a moment den she drop dat tow-el and stands plum naked in front of dat smiling Rasoc. Af-ter several seconds, he hand her da $400 and leaves.

Mabel wraps up and goes back upstairs. Otto he axe, “Who was dat babe?”“Oh it was jus Rasco,” she answer.“Dats great,” says Otto, “Did he say anyting about dat

$400 he owes me?”

C’EST TOUTHere is something that is really important to local citizens.

Next Monday early voting begins here in Orange County. It’s a fact that we will not play a part in the presidential election, the Electoral College, in a few swing states, will determine who is elected president, but we do have a voice in state and local rac-es. Over the years, it’s been proven that voters are indepen-dents in local elections. You know the old saying that all poli-tics are local, national party affiliation doesn’t have much or anything to do with local government. Example: We elect our mayors, city councilmen, school boards, port commissioners, drainage directors etc., without a thought to what national party they belong to or who they vote for in state elections. Candidates in county elections are strictly independent and not beholden to any national party policies. On a local level, citizens vote for someone they are familiar with or know are qualified. Example: the good job they are doing or what kind of job or public servant a candidate will be. It’s true that local representation is picked by crossover voters. That means that the intelligent voter can cast their vote for who they feel will do the best job, knowing it’s not a party but the candidate that is best for Orange County. Now hear this because there is a lot of misinformation. If a voter chooses to vote a straight party ticket, which is not the best way to vote, votes should be cast on each candidates qualifications, you can still vote straight party and also vote for a candidate in the other party, this is called “Crossover.” Example: If you vote straight Democrat but want to vote for, let’s say, Republican Ted Cruz, you can. Your straight party vote will count in all other races and visa versa. If you vote Republican and want to vote for someone in the Democratic column, it’s perfectly legal and that’s how it will be recorded. You have that option. I hope I explained that well enough because there are a lot of rumors that mislead. You can party vote and still candidate vote for who you think is best qualified in the other party. Also, you can vote at any of the four early voting boxes. It’s important to vote in local elections. Early voting is easy. Things have been really quite politically in Orange County compared to other election years.*****My time is up, thanks for yours and thanks for your loyalty.

Some people may feel “The Full Monty” is a little too ris-qué, but Nolan Thornal, play-ing the character of Malcolm, said this production is done in very good taste.

Thornal had been away from the Orange Community Players for a few years while attending school at Lamar and living on campus. He earned a music degree and used it di-recting the music for this pro-duction.

What convinced him to audition for the part? “Well for one thing, I’m really good friends with the show’s direc-tor (Brook Doss) and I don’t like to say no to her on any-thing,” he said, and she told me about the part she had in mind and I loved it. The guy is sweet; he’s a very shy, sweet, sensitive guy. What I’ve gath-ered from listening to the soundtrack, he’s a nerd. So I like the character. A nerdy stripper, that’s funny.” He said in the show it’s going to come out how funny it is. I make my myself awkward. It’s a good part. He says Malcolm is a nerdy momma’s boy. “In one scene you’ll see just how much of a momma’s boy he is. Cody (Vasquez) is my momma.”

Matt Tonkovich plays the character of Harold. “Harold is madly in love with his wife and he will do anything he can to make her happy.” Tonkov-ich said Harold has been out of work for six months and still hadn’t told his wife. They were still living as if he was

working. “He’s still acting like there’s no problems. She wants to go on a trip, they go on a trip. She wants clothes or jewelry; he’s going to give her what she wants.”

What made him decide to try out for the part? “That’s a good question,” said Tonkov-ich. “I enjoyed the movie.” He said he knew the situation and had seen some videos on You-Tube. He thought, “What the heck. It looks like a fun show.”

Thornal said the guys get Harold to be a stripper be-cause they see him at a Latin dance class and say, ‘Oh, he’s got moves, we need him to show us how to move.”

Thornal characterized some of the other parts. “Ethan is the not shy at all stripper. He’s like ‘I want to pull my clothes off at every moment.’ He’s try-ing to take his clothes off ev-ery time he gets a chance,” said Thornal.

“Then you have ‘Horse’ who is the big black man. He’s the stereotypical black man, the black stripper. They say in the show every woman fanta-sizes about a black man,” said Thornal with a little laugh. “So that’s Horse.”

“Dave is the chubby strip-per. He’s over weight. He’s you average man. Throughout the show he has issues with be comfortable with being a big-ger guy, being a stripper, but he doesn’t show it. His char-acter will show being insecure behind closed doors, but he’s a very outgoing person around everyone.”

“The lead, Jerry is your all American guy. He’s stripping

so he can provide for his child. He wants to be a good father for his child,” said Thornal. Jerry got divorced, then lost his job and is doing whatever it takes to provide for his kid.

Thornal said it’s interesting to see how they all line up.

How was it practicing to take it off? Thornal said, “I was a little weird about it at first, even though I knew going in it was a story about strippers. You just have to deal with it. You just have to get over your modesty.”

Thornal said he has made himself come out every chance in his underwear, just to get used to it. “Because eventu-ally it’s going to be for people I don’t know. If I can do it with people I do know, I’m work-ing my way up to where I’ll be okay with an audience. We’re getting there.” He said with all the other stuff to work on, half nakedness is the last thing on his mind.

The Full Monty will be pre-sented 7:37 p.m. on Oct. 18-20, 25-27 and at 2:37 p.m. on Oct. 21 and 28.

Tickets are $15 for adults

Elba Orlita H. BlumeAngleton, Texas

Elba Hendley Blume, 92 years old, formerly of Orange, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Oct. 10, 2012 in Angleton, Texas.

The funeral service was held on Monday, Oct. 15, at Claybar Funeral Home in Orange.

Elba was born on Feb. 11, 1920, in Como, Texas and mar-ried Curtis Edward Hendley in 1938. Elba spent most of her life as a homemaker and was an ex-cellent seamstress. Elba’s pride and joy were her family, friends and neighbors and most cher-ished were her daughter, Pam and granddaughter, Angela. Elba and Curtis were married 61 years until Curtis’s death in 1999. Elba later in life married Jay D. Blume, and they enjoyed several years of happiness and companionship until she began to suffer with Alzheimer’s. Elba then relocated to Angleton to be near her family and was a resi-dent at Country Village Care until the time of her death.

Elba was a member of West Orange Memorial Baptist Church for 48 years and then joined Jay at North Orange Baptist Church after they married. She lived on Alamo Drive in West Orange for 51 years. She loved her house and her neighbors. What a won-derful place to raise a family!

Elba is survived by her hus-band, Jay D. Blume; daughter, Pamela Hendley Reed and hus-band Rick, granddaughter, An-gela Wood Dees and husband, Derrick and four beautiful great-grandchildren, Chloe, Barrett, Emme and Fisher.

Though Elba never got to know all of her great-grandchil-dren well, they brought her many smiles during her recent years. Other survivors include Elba’s brothers and sisters-in-law, Har-old Hendley, Ray Hendley, Fay and Frost Nix, and Charles and Carol Hendley, as well as many nieces and nephews. Elba is also survived by Jay’s children, Jay and Patricia Blume, Sandy and Bill Warren, and his grand-children.

Preceding her in death were her parents, Dena Mae and Pres-ton Dickey; her husband, Curtis and his parents, Johnie and Mary Hendley; infant son, Ken-neth; sisters and their husbands, Lynna and Jim Miller; Bennie and Eldred Simpson; Margaret and Mac Eoff; and Alline and Larry Martin; sisters and brothers-in-law, Oleta and Richard Allen; June and Shornden McCloud; Alma and Bob Craig; Emaline and Earl Hallman; J.P. & Lois Hendley and several nieces and nephews.

Rick Reed, Derrick Dees, Dick Powell, and great-grandsons, Barrett and Fisher served as pallbearers.

The family would like to thank the staff at Country Village Care for the love and support they gave to Elba and the family. We truly felt like family. Another spe-

cial thanks to the Hospice Care Team for helping us near the end.

For those wishing to send a memorial, a donation to the Al-zheimer’s charity of your choice is appreciated.

With only four weeks left in the regular season scheduling, local area High School Foot-ball teams each hit the crucial final stretch of the year. Ev-ery team in the region has a district game coming up this Friday, and the stakes are high for the teams in contention as they get to the time of the year where they collectively look around and see the same fa-miliar foes standing in the way of a playoff run.

The Orangefield Bobcats (3-4, 2-1) hosted Hardin-Jefferson last week and came through with a big district win 19-14 to give them a leg up in the hunt for the post-season. Coach Josh Smalley and his squad showed exactly how hungry they are for wins when they showed up ready to grind it out with the Hawks. The Bobcats rushing attack remained the focus on offense and the team split fifty car-ries between seven players. Eric Truncale and Carl Wiley were the main beneficiaries of most of those touches, each up around 100 yards a piece with Truncale getting two touch-downs and Wiley finding the endzone once. Orangefield will face it’s best competition yet this Friday at 7 p.m. when they head on over to WO-S to face the Mustangs.

The West Orange-Stark Mustangs (6-0, 1-0) are com-ing off of a bye week and had a extra time to look ahead and prepare for the Bobcats. Coach Thompson knows the importance of every district win and will not overlook a young, hungry Bobcat team as he looks to remain undefeat-ed on the year. Expect to see a fresh Mustang squad once they hit the field Friday. Lead on offense by quarterback Jim-my Salter, deep-threat wide receiver J’Marcus Rhodes and anchored on defense by the in-famous “Chain-Gang,” WO-S fully expects to win every game they play, and the truth is, they are totally capable of running the table.

The Bridge City Cardinal (2-4, 1-2) suffered a defeat at the hands of the Silsbee Tigers last Friday 45-20. Anyone pay-ing attention to local district play knows that Silsbee has been on a roll and this victory might not come as a surprise to some, but it shouldn’t be overlooked that the Cardinal had beaten the Tigers in two previous contests. Coach Cris Stump and the boys managed

to put up a few scores passing, running, and another on spe-cial-teams; but it would prove to come up short as the Silsbee machine came to town well-oiled and clicking on all cylin-ders. The Cardinals have four district games consecutively slated for the rest of the sched-ule and every week is a must-win for Big Red if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive. This Friday, Bridge City hits the road to face Hamshire-Fannett at 7 p.m.

Coach Crouch and the Little Cypress-Mauriceville Battlin’ Bears (2-4, 0-2) went down swinging last week when they took a loss against the Ned-erland Bulldogs 35-21. LC-M has been fighting for respect all season and kept the contest within reach for most of the game, but turn-overs would be the difference on the day as the Bears offense gave up three interceptions, including one that would end the game with a pick-six.

Running back Alex Sezer would continue to be a bright spot on the day rushing for 179 yards on 27 touches with two touchdowns. The situa-tion could get better, but the Bears would have to pull out the stops and notch some wins as time is getting shorter and shorter. They’ll have their chances with four straight weeks of district play on the schedule and their first task is to knock out the Ozen Pan-thers on the road this Friday at 7:30 p.m.

It’s all funneling down to the post-season, and it’s going to be over before you know it. It’s been an up-and-down year, but we’ll see who’s left stand-ing when all is said and done.

Packers bring down Texans with a thud

It didn’t take very long Sun-day night in front of a na-tional television audience to realize the Houston Texans’ five-game winning streak was coming to a screeching halt.

It seemed as if missing one person in a vaunted defense that was rated among the best in the National Football League wouldn’t make that big a difference.

But the first game without defensive captain Brian Cush-ing had the Texans’ defense looking like it did before Wade Phillips was hired as its coor-dinator.

Green Bay quarterback Aar-on Rodgers found his receiv-ers so open one would have to check to see if they were wear-ing quarantine signs around their necks.

The Texans were burned for six Rodgers’ touchdown pass-es—one short of the NFL re-cord-- in the 42-24 thrashing at a packed Reliant Stadium in downtown Houston. Ironical-ly, Houston surrendered only six touchdown passes in their first five victories this season.

“We knew Rodgers was a great quarterback,” Texans head coach Gary Kubiak told the Houston Chronicle after the game. “He can light it up. He can put on a show. But we played poorly as a team, and got our tails kicked. And they did a heck of a job.”

The Chronicle pointed out that the Packers are one year removed from a 15-1 record, and they came to Houston de-termined to prove they were better than their 2-3 record indicated. “They left with a 3-3 record and their pride intact,” Monday’s Chronicle said. “And they took just about all the Texans’ dignity.”

The results of the game were a real blow to the Tex-ans’ defense. The Packer game was the worst performance by Wade Phillips’ defense since last year’s 40-33 loss at New Orleans. But the Texans were just learning Phillips’ defense then. However, there can be no excuses for Sunday’s humiliat-ing performance.

As bad as the defense played Sunday night, there was other blame to be spread around, too. Quarterback Matt Schaub threw only two interceptions and was sacked three times in the 5-0 start. He was in-tercepted twice by the Pack-ers and sacked three times. Ironically, it had been exactly 52 weeks since the Texans lost a game started by Schaub, who saw his 9-0 run ended by Green Bay.

The special teams were guilty of three penalties, in-

c l u d i n g two that kept alive Green Bay touchdown drives. They also allowed a 46-yard kickoff re-

turn which set up another touchdown.

There was a bright spot for the Texans in Sunday night’s game as Andre Johnson caught eight passes for 75 yards to give him 10,014 career receiv-ing yards and making him the fifth player in NFL history to reach 10,000 yards in fewer than Johnson’s 128 games.

And premier defensive end J.J. Watt continued his great season by recording two sacks of quarterback Aaron Rodgers to boost his total to 9½ for the season, which now leads the NFL. The Packers’ Clay Mat-thews, who went into Sunday night’s game as the NFL sack leader, failed to record a sack and is close behind with eight.

Looking at the game from an optimistic point of view, it is only one loss in six games. Chances were very slim the Texans would have gone 16-0 for the season. The team must forget about the Packers and concentrate on hosting the tough Baltimore Ravens, who come into the game Sunday with an identical 5-1 record.

The Ravens weren’t very impressive in their last three victories before Sunday that included a one-point win over the New England Patriots, a 23-16 win over then winless Cleveland and a 9-6 win over the lowly Kansas City Chiefs.

On Sunday, they survived against Dallas 31-29, but let the Cowboys rush for 227 yards, the most they’ve allowed on the ground in franchise his-tory. Kansas City gained 214 on the ground the week before. So perhaps the Texans will re-discover their vaunted rush-ing attack Sunday at Reliant Stadium.

KWICKIES…The St. Lou-is Cardinals, who wouldn’t even be in the 2012 Nation-al League playoffs if Major League Baseball hadn’t added a second wild card this year, is really taking advantage of the opportunity and as a result are going home to St. Louis today (Wed.) dead-locked at 1-1 in their best-of-seven series with the San Francisco Giants. Af-ter beating the Braves in a one-game wild card playoff last week, the Cards scored early and hung on for a 6-4 win Sun-day night in Game 1 but lost 7-1 Monday night in Game 2 of the National League cham-pionship Series. The New York Yankees resumed play Tuesday night in Detroit after losing both games last weekend in Yankee Stadium to the Tigers

6-4 in 12 innings Saturday and 3-0 Sunday.

Orange’s Marathon Man Ken Ruane won a 10-mile race Sunday morning in the 70-year-and-older category at Clear Lake and was at Sunset Grove Country Club at noon ready to play in his regular Sunday golf game. The 10-mile win earned him a free en-try into the upcoming Hous-ton Marathon based on his first-place finish and running it under a specific time. What an Iron Man!!!

It was no surprise that the first BCS poll which came out Sunday had the Ala-bama Crimson Tide on top. The Florida Gators, another Southeastern Conference member was second, having a slight edge by the comput-erized rankings over Oregon and Kansas State. Notre Dame was not far behind in the No. 5 spot and LSU No. 6. Four Lone Star State teams also made the poll with Texas Tech No. 17, Texas A&M No. 18, TCU No. 23 and Texas No. 25.

And not to be confused with this week’s Associated Press Top 25 Collegiate Poll where Alabama and Oregon main-tained their top two spots, fol-lowed by Florida, which moved up one place to No. 3, Kansas State and Notre Dame which hurdled two positions to No. 4 and No. 5, respectively. LSU jumped three places to No. 6, Ohio State went up one spot to No. 7, Oregon State moved from tenth to No. 8, South Carolina dropped from third to No. 9 and Oklahoma moved up three places to No. 10. Tex-as Tech joined the Top 25 Poll at No. 18, Texas A&M moved up two slots to No. 20 while the Texas Longhorns dropped out of the Top 25.

The top Class 3A team in the Houston area in this week’s Houston Chronicle High School Football Rankings is Navasota (7-1), followed by No. 2 La Marque (6-1). Coldspring (4-2) is No. 5 and Huffman (4-1) is No. 9. The only area team to make the rankings was Port Arthur Memorial (6-1) at No. 12 in Class 5A.

The Houston Texans may have made a mistake in getting rid of Jacoby Jones after the 2011 season. Jones, who now plays for the Baltimore Ravens, tied an NFL record Sunday by returning a kickoff 108 yards for a touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys which had to be instrumental in Baltimore’s 31-29 victory over the Pokes.

JUST BETWEEN US…Sunday was quite a day for both of Orange County’s Na-tional Football League’s play-ers. Bridge City’s Matt Bryant was the hero the second time in three games for his At-lanta Falcons with a 55-yard field goal on the final play of

the game to give the Falcons a 23-20 win over the Oakland Raiders and keep Atlanta as the only undefeated team in the NFL. He also did the same thing Sept. 30 against the Carolina Panthers. And Or-ange’s Earl Thomas made his first interception of the sea-son a biggie for his Seattle Se-ahawks, who at the time early in the fourth period trailed New England 20-10. Patriots’ quarterback Tom Brady was putting the icing on the poten-tial victory with a pass into the end zone when Earl jumped the pass route and intercept-ed the pass. Seattle went on to score two touchdowns af-ter that and pulled out a 24-23 upset win. “I baited him,” Thomas explained after the game. “I watch a lot of tape. I had a great opportunity. I had a great break on the ball.”

KAZ’S KORNERJOE KAZMARFOR THE RECORD


Staff ReportsFor The Record

If everything goes according to an ambitious plan devised by city and county leaders, Houston will host its third Su-per Bowl in 2017.

The NFL informed the Tex-ans and the city on Tuesday that Houston will be one of two finalists for Super Bowl LI, to be played in February 2017.

At the conclusion of the league’s winter meetings in Chicago, commissioner Roger

Goodell disclosed that San Francisco and South Florida had been selected to bid on Su-per Bowl L. Goodell said the runner-up will compete with Houston for Super Bowl LI.

“I’m delighted,” Texans owner Bob McNair said. “To be selected as a finalist for 51 makes me very happy for the city and the fans.”

McNair also played a signif-icant role in Houston’s hosting Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004.

“I think this is acknowledge-ment from the league that Houston did a great job in

2004,” McNair said. “That was a very successful Super Bowl. They know we’re very capa-ble.”

Houston’s Super Bowl bid is a joint venture among the Tex-ans, the Greater Houston Con-vention and Visitors Bureau, the Harris County/Houston Sports Authority, and Reliant Park.

“We’ll be better prepared for this one because of the experi-ence of hosting the last one,” McNair said. “I had told the commissioner how interested we are in having another Su-

per Bowl and how disappoint-ed we were when we didn’t get another one.

“He indicated to me that he thought we deserved another one. That doesn’t mean we’ll get 51. If we don’t, I do think being selected as one of two fi-nalists bodes well for us get-ting another one.”

Other cities submitted bids for the Super Bowls, but the NFL committee, chaired by Katie Blackburn, executive vice president of the Cincinna-ti Bengals, chose the three fi-nalists.

The owners will vote in May on the two games. The first vote will be between San Fran-cisco and Miami for 2016, fol-lowed by a second vote be-tween Houston and the 2016 runner-up for the next year.

“I think the chances are re-ally good,” said Janis Schmees, executive director of the Har-ris County-Houston Sports Authority.

The 50th Super Bowl in 2016 will be a special-anniver-sary celebration. If San Fran-cisco wins, the game will be played at the 49ers’ new stadi-um in Santa Clara. That stadi-um is set to open in 2014. If South Florida wins, the game will be played in the Miami Dolphins’ stadium, which still faces questions about possible renovation, including a partial roof.

“I feel good that we can put up a very competitive bid,”

said Greg Ortale, president and CEO of the Greater Hous-ton Convention and Visitors Bureau. “We’ll be ready.

“They asked if we were in-terested in Super Bowl 50, but we couldn’t do that because we’re hosting the Final Four in 2016. And we’d rather go up against one city than two.”

Houston, San Francisco and South Florida will finalize their bids and submit them to the NFL in April.

The next three Super Bowls are set for New Orleans in 2013, East Rutherford, N.J., in 2014, and Glendale, Ariz., in 2015.

Houston, which hosted Su-per Bowls in 1974 and 2004, bid in 2005 for the 2009 and 2010 games that were awarded to Tampa and Miami and also failed to land the 2012 game played earlier this year in Indi-anapolis.

Panthers’ speed and how a Sat-urday afternoon game (1 p.m. kickoff) might affect them.

VIDOR overBEAUMONT CENTRAL

The Pirates had quite a track meet in front of the home folks last week against Lumberton and take their show on the road to Beaumont at the Butch Thomas Complex for a Sat-urday night encounter. Both teams scored plenty of points last week and should also light up the scoreboard in this con-test.

DEWEYVILLE overANDERSON-SHIRO

Don’t know much about this District 12-2A II opponent that will be venturing into Pi-rate Stadium Friday night, but the Pirates had a knock-down, drag-out game last week at Corrigan-Camden and barely came up on the short end of a 33-30 score. The Pirates are determined to stay in the play-off hunt and the best way to do that is with a win Friday night at home.

ORANGE COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN over MOUNT CARMEL—This is another Saturday night contest this week for our local teams. The Lions have been playing good football and should be well rested and ready to resume ac-tion after a bye last week.

LAKE ARTHUR over VIN-TON—The Lions posted their first district victory last week, overwhelming winless East Beauregard 30-14 and upping their season record to 3-4. Lake Arthur stands at 6-1 with some very impressive victories under its belt.

CENTRAL ARKANSAS over LAMAR—The Cardinals are still searching for their first Southland Conference victory of the season and are hoping the third time is the charm. But the Redbirds are picking on a team that’s 3-1 in league play and will enjoy the home field advantage. That’s quite a big hurdle for the up-start Cards to overcome.

SAM HOUSTON STATE over McNEESE STATE—The Cowboys have dropped a couple of hard-fought SLC games and are looking to even their loop record at 2-2 against

these 2-1 Bearkats, who were the preseason favorite to win the Southland title. Throw in the fact this game is in Hunts-ville and it looks like the Pokes are really behind the 8-ball.

HIGH SCHOOL—Buna over Hardin-Jefferson, Ned-erland over PN-G, Livingston over Lumberton, Beaumont West Brook over Channel-view, East Chambers over Kir-byville, Newton over Kountze, Anahuac over Warren, Wood-ville over Hardin, Sabine Pass over Burkeville, Houston St. Thomas over Beaumont Kelly, Houston Cypress Christian over Beaumont Legacy, Ches-ter over High Island, Lufkin over Bryan, North Shore over Baytown Sterling, LaPorte over Deer Park, Katy over Sev-en Lakes, Brenham over Bryan Rudder, Crosby over C.E. King, Dayton over New Caney Por-ter, Humble Summer Creek over Humble, Kingwood Park over New Caney, Friendswood over Goose Creek Memo-rial, Cleveland over Liberty, Coldspring over Huffman, Shepherd over Splendora, La Marque over KIPP Sunnyside.

COLLEGE—Houston over SMU, Oregon over Arizona State (both Thurs.); Syracuse over Connecticut (Fri.); Ste-phen F. Austin over Nicholls State, Texas over Baylor, TCU over Texas Tech, Oklahoma over Kansas, .Kansas State over West Virginia, Oklahoma State over Iowa State, Tulsa over Rice, UTEP over Tulane, LSU over Texas A&M, Alcorn State over Prairie View A&M, San Jose State over UT-San Antonio, Air Force over New Mexico, Northern Illinois over Akron, Alabama over Tennes-see, South Carolina over Flor-ida, Notre Dame over BYU, Ohio State over Purdue, Ore-gon State over Utah, USC over Colorado, Florida State over Miami, Georgia over Ken-tucky, Clemson over Virginia Tech, Stanford over California, Louisville over South Florida, Mississippi State over Middle Tennessee State, Rutgers over Temple, Cincinnati over To-ledo, Louisiana Tech over Idaho, Boise State over UNLV, Michigan over Michigan State, Arizona over Washington, Ar-kansas-Pine Bluff over South-ern, Army over Eastern Michi-gan, Vanderbilt over Auburn, Ball State over Central Michi-gan, Georgia Tech over Boston

CLAN TYNKER JESTER TROUPE

Saturdays, Sundays and Thanksgiving Friday

www.texrenfest.com

Taking advantage of a fishermen-friendly bite

John Downey and his wife, Michelle, fished with me a week ago and during the course of an ex-ceptionally good day posed the sixty-four dollar question, “We are just whacking them, but what would you do to catch fish if there were no gulls around this time of the year?”

That question was based on the premise that we were tar-geting numbers of trout and redfish and not specifically looking for trout over the 25-inch mark. Hunting big trout exclusively is a different and more difficult task regardless of the season!

Weather conditions play a major role in forming any game plan, but the absence of gull activity is the fear of most every angler that leaves the dock at first light this time of

the year. They know that the shrimp pour out of the marsh-es and into the lake with the passage of each cold front and the schooling trout and redfish eagerly await Mother Nature’s version of meals on wheels.

It is truly the most f i shermen-fr iend ly time of the year as the birds literally point the way to a guaranteed bite. The problem is that it is so addicting that very few anglers leave the dock with a Plan B in

the event that the birds decide to take the day off. The larger problem is that because that bite is so easy, many of them throw in the towel early or hit the shorelines and start grind-ing away for anything that will bite.

I much prefer fishing the shorelines and shallow flats to chasing birds, but the fish have to be there or that approach provides little more than cast-ing practice. As long as the tide changes are substantial and there are still shrimp that

have not vacated the marshes, the fishermen-friendly bite is not over. It just isn’t as easy without the birds!

The first step in locating these fish is not to hunt two or more boats gathered together in open water. I have the ad-vantage of being on the water almost every day, but my ini-tial approach would be to run to the area where I last found the gulls working. If it has only been a day or two since you were on the water, those fish will not have traveled far.

Prior to making the first cast, idle around in a generous circle and check the surface for any bait activity. Too many weekend anglers spend way too much time on even the best of days running around much too fast to take advantage of this gift. I cannot tell you how many days we are exploiting this tactic and catching fish well before the gulls ever wake up and start hunting!

Colburn cont. from 6BThink about it.

There are only so many gulls to go around. They are pa-trolling 120 square miles of lake. Do you think the possibility exists that you might well find some fish with no birds in the immediate vicinity?

The next step is es-tablishing how deep to fish in the water column. For the most part you are going to be fishing in 4 to 8 feet of water, but the bet-ter bite may be in the top two feet or possibly dead on the bottom. Once again, I have an advantage in that I usually have at least

two more fishermen in the boat so we can all fish at different depths.

If there is no bait around, but that area has been productive recently, I will check it out for fifteen to thirty minutes. When hunting numbers of fish rather than spe-cifically targeting size, I will fish smaller baits. Four inch pad-dle tails, 3-inch Swim Baits and even if I fish a topwater it will be with a smaller model.

I very seldom throw a spoon, for no sound reason, but it is an excellent lure to hunt fish with as well. I also seldom throw a Rat-

L-Trap any more, but there may not be any better lure to locate fish with than a half ounce chrome Trap. Once you find the fish, then you can experi-ment with different colors and larger baits.

My number one choice for locating fish in the open lake is a four inch paddle tail rigged on a 2 to 3 foot leader under a Kwik Cork. Your bait stays in the top column of water without work-ing you to death and the click and subtle chugging noise of the cork will lure fish that are holding deeper.

I make several changes to the cork to make it more effec-tive, but it works well enough right out of the package. TTF has just come out with a new Shiney Hiney jig head with a larger 3/0

hook to accommodate any four inch tail and it is the only head I now fish under a cork. The head includes a short wrap of flashy tinsel and fluorescent eyes that make any tail look just like a live shrimp under water!

The bottom line is that before you give up because the birds failed to show…. slow down, down size your lures and keep your eyes on the water. Don’t give up on the easiest bite of the year before it’s even over.
