Thibodeaux may stay on if Carlton delayed

There’s a possibility that cur-rent Orange County Judge Carl Thibodeaux may stay in office a little longer than he anticipat-ed.

Major Brint Carlton, Repub-lican nominee for Orange County judge and assistant dis-trict attorney is currently sta-

tioned in Italy to assist in con-taining Ebola. Carlton doesn’t

face any opposition for the General Election in November. He’s also a member of the U.S. Air Force Reserve.

However, it’s unknown if he will return to Orange County in time by January, 2015 to take his oath of office, according to Thibodeaux. If not, the past county judge could stay on in office, according to Texas law, if the incoming county judge is

taking a long-term leave of ab-sence. Thibodeaux added he doesn’t have any immediate plans after January, 2015.

He explained the county judge must be elected and qual-ified before taking the oath of office in person and sign cer-tain paperwork, according to the Texas Constitution and the Local Government Code. “He’s (the county judge) is the signa-

tory of the county,” Thibodeaux said. “The (commissioners’) court will have to appoint a county judge.”

A county judge who is quali-fied and has taken the oath of office, he added.

Thibodeaux said Carlton must be present in person to vote on the commissioners’ court. He cannot do a proxy vote via technology such as Skype or through the tele-phone.

Soldiers serving in that area are currently being monitored for 21 days.

In the Oct. 27, 2014 edition of USA Today, the commander of U.S. Army Africa is among a dozen soldiers who have been placed in isolation over Ebola concerns at a U.S. military base

in Italy after wrapping up a mission to Liberia, the Penta-gon said Monday.

The soldiers were isolated at the base in Vicenza over the weekend as a precaution al-though none have shown any symptoms of exposure to the virus that has killed thousands in West Africa, Army Col. Ste-ven Warren said.

Warren said the soldiers, who were part of Operation United Assistance in West Af-rica, were being kept at a sepa-rate unit at the base for 21 days, the incubation period for Ebo-la. Maj. Gen. Darryl Williams, commander of U.S. Army Afri-ca, is among those being isolat-ed.

Dream come true for Special Angels

In January, Lou Harris had a dream.

When Harris woke up that morning, she told her family about the dream to have an adapted event rodeo for special needs children-God’s Special Angels. God told her she need-ed to do this, she explained.

Her husband, Dan Harris, didn’t think it was possible to pull it off, but that didn’t stop Lou. She enlisted her children and started putting the infor-mation out there and gathering volunteers.

Her daughter, Jo Harris, said

they brought the project to the Orange County Sheriff ’s Posse board. They felt it would be the right organization to work with, because they already had the rodeo experience and an arena. The Harris family has a long association with the OCSP.

Jo’s uncle, Gus Harris, cur-rently heads the organization.

The Harris family also owns Farmers’ Mercantile, one of the oldest businesses in Orange. It is a business that caters to the agricultural community, so they are well acquainted with livestock, which is another plus for this type of project.

Their isolation is not required by Penta-gon guidelines, Warren said.

The Pentagon said Monday evening that the Army Chief of Staff had directed “a 21-day controlled monitoring period’’ from Ebola assistance operations in West Afri-ca.

Soldiers will be housed in a separate fa-cility on their base, with no physical con-tact with family members, the Army said. They will be allowed to visit the gym and have access to TV and Internet, and medi-cal checks will be conducted twice a day.

The Army said in a statement that the step was being taken “out of caution to en-sure soldiers, family members and their surrounding communities are confident that we are taking all steps necessary to protect their health.’’

The operation in West Africa is provid-ing logistics, training and engineering sup-port to the U.S. humanitarian program fighting the Ebola outbreak in the region. On Sunday, Army Maj. Gen. Gary Volesky replaced Williams as commander of Oper-ation United Assistance.

In a prior Record article, Carlton re-sponded: “My regular unit, the Joint En-abling Capabilities Command (JECC), Joint Planning Support Element (JPSE), Naval Station Norfolk, Va., sent a team of joint military planners to assist U.S. Army Africa (USARAF) in Vicenza, Italy and U.S. Africa Command (USAFRICOM) in Stuttgart, Germany in the planning of Op-

eration UNITED ASSISTANCE,” Carlton replied via e-mail.

Operation UNITED ASSISTANCE is the U.S. military humanitarian response supporting the USAID-led comprehensive U.S. Government and international effort to contain the Ebola outbreak in West Af-rica. “As detailed in national and interna-tional news reports, this is the worst Ebola Virus outbreak in history. I am working in the USARAF Joint Operations Center (JOC) located at Caserma Del-Din Army Garrison, Vicenza, Italy,” he wrote.

Carlton further explained the responsi-bilities of the medical section of the USARAF JOC involve helping to identify the local medical capabilities in Liberia and Senegal, coordinating the construc-tion of a military field hospital in Monro-via, Liberia to be run by the U.S. Public Health Service.

Carlton said the group from his unit does not have an exact return date as of yet, and dates have not been released.

President Barack Obama announced he dispatched 3,000 U.S. troops to the region with health care and aid workers in an ef-fort to contain the deadly virus, in the Sept. 16, 2014 edition of USA Today.

The expanded, $763 million, military-led plan will include a new regional U.S. base in Liberia; portable hospitals, labora-tories and other medical facilities; and in-creased training for first responders and other medical officials throughout West

Africa. It’s the largest response to an inter-national epidemic in U.S. history, Obama said after meeting with the nation’s top public health officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.

Since first sending troops to respond to the Ebola crisis, the military announced October 3 an additional 1,000 troops could be sent to West Africa to help fight the vi-rus.

And that number could go higher than that, said Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Penta-gon press secretary. “I’m not going to put a floor or ceiling on this,” Kirby said.

Thibodeaux speculated Carlton may have to undergo a 21-day quarantine.

“It’s too early to tell. I’ll stay on a little longer if asked to help out,” he said. “I’ll do whatever it takes to solidify the court.”

ALL ABOARD--HERE WE GO

An active week is ahead. Early voting is in progress with National Election Day next Tuesday, Nov. 4. So far the turnout in Orange County is better than some expected. For that reason, I predict a slower Election Day.*****Don’t forget to check out the down ballot races.*****This coming Saturday Mayor McDonald and his gang at West Orange are holding their annual Holiday in the Park. It’s a great time for family, friends and the citizens to gather for an old time fun day. Plenty of booths and a lot of entertainment for the kiddos and adults alike. It is one of the few festivals of its kind left around the country. Everyone welcome for a clean, wholesome day out.*****Sunday Daylight Savings Time ends. Fall back an hour Sunday morning, you can sleep in an extra hour. Instead of being 6 a.m. it will be only 5 a.m. The kids won’t be catching the bus in the dark Monday morning.*****Ebola is still a political football despite no new cases. That will end when the election is over. Meanwhile, medical experts say we could see up to 40,000 deaths from the flu in this country. Flu is an airborne disease, Ebola is not. It is more like AIDS, it happens through contact.*****Over the next two years, if the GOP wins the Senate and has subpoena power, we will hear a lot about Benghazi, IRS, overthrowing ObamaCare and not much talk about immigration, minimum wage and job creation unless the President uses executive privilege.*****It’s a good time to travel. In July, 2008, gas prices were sitting at $4 a gallon, today in 47 states, gas is below $3 a gallon and as low as $2.39 and $2.54 in some places. We average around $2.80.*****Well, I’d best get going. I have a long way to go and a short time to get there. Please come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm.

WHO WILL CONTROL U.S. SENATE

The most important races in the country are for control of the United States senate. A Republican senate takeover would put congress in their control for the first time in President Obama’s Administration. They already control the U.S. House and are likely to strengthen their majority due largely to gerrymandered states that have districts with lines that favor them. Democrats hold the Senate 55-45. Two Independents caucus with Democrats. Republicans need a net gain of six to take control because in a 50-50 Senate, Vice-President Biden would be the deciding vote. At this time, from the data and polling, next Tuesday’s elections is trending towards a GOP takeover. I had predicted earlier that if Democrats could win two out of three races, Louisiana, Arkansas and beat McConnell in Kentucky, it would be close but they could control the Senate. One week out it looks like Mary Landrieu, in Louisiana, who is facing two opponents, is slipping. Mark Prayor in Arkansas is polling only 42 percent to Republican Cotton’s 46 percent and Mitch, in Kentucky, is running three points ahead of Allison Grimes. Republicans are forecasted to pick up three seats, Montana, West Virginia and South Dakota, which could flip the apple cart. Even if they bank those three seats, they will need to net at least three of the seven competitive Democratic held seats, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Louisiana, New Hampshire and North Carolina, to win the majority. Democrats could counter with upset victories in GOP held seats in Georgia, Kansas, where Independent Orman is running neck to neck with Sen. Roberts. The other seat is Kentucky. Obama carried all of those states. One-hundred million dollars is being spent in Kentucky to make Mitch the next majority leader. The pressure is on Republicans to win the Senate. Losing would shake the Party, its base and its donors to no end. Most importantly, because national elections now tilt in Democratic favor and that is expected to grow. Also the map of Senate seats up for re-election in 2016 strongly favored Democrats. The President’s approval is the single biggest factor in an off year election. Obama’s approval rating has been hanging around 42 percent. It’s clear the voters have turned on the President, not unusual in mid-term of a second term. On the other hand, voters are not particularly gung-ho for the GOP either. Republicans are betting it all on this takeover. Their long term future depends on it. They’re done if their bet doesn’t pay off because the GOP will be even more fractured than it is now. Tea Party, moderates and conservatives will blame each other and the crack will get bigger. The smart money is that Mitch McConnell will be the next boss of the senate. My thinking is it could be a GOP blowout but I’ve learned in all my years to expect the unexpected in mid-term elections.

TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME10 Years Ago-2004

Bridge City Cardinal coach Claude Tarver says emotionally the big comeback win over Hamshire-Fannett was one of his biggest wins in 20 years of coaching. B.C. kicker A.J. Hecker started things off for the Cards with a 47-yard field goal. Down 7-3 in the third quarter, Dale Armand scored a 24-yard touchdown, putting the Cards up 9-7. A bobbled snap and a throw landing in the hands of a defender who took it 90 yards for two points, tying the game at 9. Coach Tarver said Clint DeRouen and David Blacksher were brought up from junior varsity, linebacker Taylor Faulk had his best game ever. Sophomore Johnny Dishon was given the green light in the fourth quarter and despite a twisted ankle, scored all 28 points and averaged 10 yards a carry, finishing with 184 yards rushing. The Cards came away with a 37-16 win.*****Two teams that had never faced each other in football, the West Orange-Stark Mustangs and Orangefield Bobcats met for the very first time. It was all Mustangs, who came away with a 56-0 win. They did it without Earl Thomas who sat out due

to an injury from last week. (Editor’s Note: I had forgotten that the Mustangs and Bobcats had never played each other until ten years ago. Orangefield must have gone up in class and WO-S came down to 3-A.*****Kicker Matt Bryant, NFL place kicker from Bridge City, kicked Monday night for the Dolphins. He will be with Miami one more week.

Coca-Cola shares fell sharply last week and McDonald’s earnings have plunged 30 percent. It seems more and more Americans are turning towards eating habits widely viewed as better for you. Both Coke and Mac are looking at ways to retool their products.*****We heard from former successful high school football coach Les Johnson. We talked a lot of football. He says he believes Dwayne DuBois might be the best coach in the state and will go up high in the coaching ranks if he wants to. He also had praise for the other Bridge City boy, Josh Smalley. I’m sure its because they both run the “T” formation from Coach Johnson’s playbook and like Les, they believe in a strong tough off season. Johnson says “Beaver,” he still calls Dwayne that, is one of the best fundamental teachers anywhere and it shows up on Friday night. Well Coach, “Beaver” has a big test this Friday when H.J. meets WO-S. The Mustangs are favored to win. It should be the areas best high school game.*****I’m dizzy from watching so much TV football plus the World Series. Before TV we read about it in the morning paper or listened to baseball on the radio.*****Special thanks to our friends Norris Brandon who fixed us up with a nice batch of persimmons, which I love. Also Neighbor Cox came by with a mess of mustard greens and okra. How’s that for the good life. Thanks guys.*****It’s lonesome around here without my friend Corky. He will be away for a week wearing a neck brace. I miss him. He usually gets breakfast. While he’s away Donnie and the crew at Harmon’s are making unbeatable deals on good, pre-owned cars.*****Deer season opens Sunday and runs through Jan. 4. A lot of “Girl’s Night Out” gatherings are in the making. Everyone loves deer season.*****No doubt State Sen. Leticia Van de Putte is the best choice for Lt. Governor. She’s very smart. The worst part of her not being elected is that her opponent Dan Patrick is a real nut in the mold of Steve Stockman. He is very divisiveness, the one thing we’ve had too much of. His demagoguery is way beyond the pale. Every major newspaper in the state urges citizens not to vote for him. He will probably get elected because of citizens voting the straight Republican ticket. That’s how we got Stockman. He’s a bad apple and both parties have them.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK Clovis got himself a bartender job at Tee Boy’s Bar and Grill. A very attractive lady walks up to da bar and sit herself down on da stool. She calls Clovis to come over rat now. “Yes M’am, how can I help you? Clovis axe.“Mais sha, bring you face a little closer,” she said.Wen Clovis got real close, da sexy lady gently caress his full beard an she axe Clovis, “Are you da manager, you?” while softly stroking his face with bot hands.“No, not actually,” Clovis answered. “Can you get him for me? I need to speak wit him,” she says, running bot hands into his hair. “I’m afraid i can’t me,” Clovis says, breathing heavy. “Babe, is dere anyting I can do me?” Clovis axe.“Yes, dere is, I need you to give him a message,” she said, while running her fingers across Clovis’ lips and slyly popping a coulple of her fingers in his mouth allowing Clovis to suck on dem gently.By now Clovis is excited him, and he axe, “Wat should I tell him, me?”While rolling her big eyes she says, “Tell him dere is no toilet paper, hand soap, or paper towels in da ladies rest room.”

C’EST TOUTThe Lunch Wednesday Bunch will dine at Robert’s this week and back to Novrozsky’s next week. Everyone always welcome. *****Here’s one you might find hard to believe. I don’t believe attorney Sharon Bearden is a workaholic yet he usually works seven days a week. He sees many of his clients and witnesses over the weekend throughout the year unless he has a deer hunt planned. Why does he do it? Sharon truly enjoys his profession, especially criminal law and he’s good at it. That’s not what will surprise you however. All of his life since the age of eight, Sharon has been battling being anemic. At the same time he has fought the weight problem. He has that under control but the two don’t seem to go together. I think of people who are anemic as being thin. Bearden hasn’t been thin in the 60 years I’ve known him. If it wasn’t for the anemic condition that drags on him, he would kill himself working. He’s the least likely person that I know to have that condition.*****Got to go, thanks for your time, mine is up. If you are registered but don’t usually vote, this is a good time to start. Go do it. *****Be sure and check us out 24 hours a day on our website, therecordlive.com. Take care and God bless.

people were stepping up to the plate to donate the time, talent and money he said, “Maybe we can do this.”

“It’s a lot of work and a lot of planning,” said Jo, but they have been hard at it since the inception of the idea.

That dream becomes reality, Saturday, Nov. 8 with the first Special Angels Rodeo to be held at the Orange County Sheriff ’s Posse Arena located on Farm Road 105.

“When mom came up with it, there wasn’t anything like it anywhere, but since we started putting it out there, several have popped up,” said Jo. “I think it’s great!”

Since the concept is new, there was no place to acquire equipment for adapted events like these. They have created their own. “We’ve made two bulls and two broncs,” said Jo Harris.

The handmade “livestock” are made from a barrel and trampoline springs so they can mimic the actions of bucking bulls and broncos, but in a con-trolled manner. They equipped it with a saddle and fashioned a head on it. To test the equip-ment out to see what worked, what didn’t and what needed further adaptation, they brought the first one to OCARC, Inc. so the clients could try it out. It showed them some of the areas that needed further changes.

Jo said that was the area where her dad came in handy, because he’s always been around the farm he was used to ‘engineering’ things as they needed to be.

They also consulted with parents of special needs chil-dren to see what would work and what wouldn’t. They want to give them as close to the real rodeo experience, but at the same time keep the youngsters safe.

“We want all special needs, no matter the age to be able to participate,” said Jo.

For the barrel racing, they have built a sled, that wheel-chairs can enter and be locked into, then they will be pulled by an ATV around the barrels. “The weight and size of the sled prevents it from being pulled by a real horse,” said Jo.

For those not confined to a wheelchair, they will ride actu-al horses for the barrel races. Each participant will have a “buddy” that day. The “buddy” will “lead-in” the horses around the barrels. They have also ac-quired a type of Velcro harness that attaches to the saddle and wraps around the participants legs to better hold them in the saddle.

Many of the horses will be therapy horses used by Spirit Stables, a local equine therapy center.

“They have really helped out,” said Jo Harris. After the event, the Velcro harnesses will be placed in Spirit Stables’ care to be used in their practice un-til needed for the next rodeo. “That way they will get put to good use and it will help us keep up with them,” said Jo.

A roping event is also planned. “The roping ‘horse’ doesn’t have a head because we want them to have as much room as possible to rope,” said

Jo. “Those that are in a wheel-chair can rope from their chair.” They will use dummy calves that are used for practice to teach youngsters how to rope.

“It’s going to be a day for them,” said Jo. Usually special needs youngsters have to sit on

the sidelines and watch siblings and other able bodied children participate, but this is a special day where they get to do every-thing that they can and want to.

This is the Special Angels’ special day. They will be fed, win medals, receive gifts and

door prizes. Everything is free for participants.

The only charge that day, is the concession stand for others in attendance. There will also be a few booths of special arti-sans.

Activities for siblings includ-ing games and a mechanical bull will be available, but it is more a day to watch their sis-ters and brothers do something for the first time they were nev-er able to do before.

It’s easy to see the passion in her eyes as Jo Harris talks about the planning for this event. It will be only the first of many.

“It’s a dream, made reality,” she said.

Organizers are encouraging and hoping participants will sign up early, so they can make sure they have enough supplies on hand. There is no age limit for “Special Angels.”

To register for the event go to their facebook page: https://

www.facebook.com/specialan-gelsrodeo. For more informa-tion you can e-mail specialan-gelsrodeo@yahoo.com or call Jo Harris at 409-670-6358 or Kevin at 409-651-9948.

Members of the Orange County Youth Rodeo Associa-tion will be acting as buddies for the day, but more are need-ed. If interested, contact one of the numbers above. The event begins at 10 a.m.

Some things are simply time-less.

Some parents of Lamar StateCollege-Port Arthur’s currentstudents had not yet been bornthe last time the Beatles per-formed. And yet, the music theFab Four created has permeatedthe passing of decades throughmovies, television and an appre-ciative younger audience.

It was 1964 when the Beatlestook the United States by stormas John, Paul, George and Ringoperformed on the Ed SullivanShow. A short five years later in1969, the Beatles performed to-gether for the last time in arooftop performance in London.

LSC-PA will commemoratethose two milestone anniver-saries with a special concert im-mediately following the college’sfirst basketball home game onNov. 8. e Seahawks tip offagainst Houston CommunityCollege at the Carl Parker Centerat 2 p.m. with the concert start-ing about 3:30 in the facility’sparking lot.

“It’s amazing the metamor-phosis the band experienced insuch a short period of time andthe audience will get to experi-ence that in the music plannedfor Nov. 8,” John Freyermuth, Di-rector of Commercial Music atLSC-PA, said.

In addition to the music of theFab Four, tributes to other artistswith local connections are alsoplanned as Janis Joplin, ZZ Top,George Jones – each marking aspecial anniversary this year --come to life on stage.

BCLL sign-ups beginBCLL to offer online registration

Bridge City Little League is excited to announcetheir first ever online registration beginning Nov.14 for the Spring 2015 season. ere is an earlybird discount if you register your child(ren) by Dec.31. ere will still be onsite registration dates as al-ways (January 2015), but the early bird discountwill not apply and the process will be more time-consuming.

You have the same options available whether youregister online (beginning Nov. 1) or in person(January); however, online users may pay by check,credit, or debit card only. e incentive of doing itonline is the reduced costs (which can be signifi-cant for those with several children), and the con-venience of getting it done at a time best for youand your family.

We encourage you to try this new method andtake advantage of the cost savings this year. Whilethis will be a huge undertaking in a league of our

size, we feel each family registering at their own conven-ience will be a big improvement. Coaches, umpires, andother volunteers may also begin registering themselvesin the new online system as of Nov. 1, at no cost ofcourse.

That old-time radio enriched our lives

Hank Williams was born in Mount Olive, Alabama on Sept. 17, 1923. When he was eight years old, Wil-liams was given a gui-tar by his mother. His musical education was provided by a local blues street singer, Rufus Payne, who was called Tee Tot. From Tee Tot, Williams learned how to play the guitar and sing the blues. Williams began performing around Georgia and Greenville areas of Alabama in his early teens. During his shows Williams would sing songs from his idol Roy Acuff, as well as several other country hits of the day.Hank Williams is the father of con-temporary country music. Williams was a superstar by the age of 25. He was dead at the age of 29. Williams wrote a body of songs that became popular classics and his direct, emo-tional lyrics and vocals became the standard for most popular perform-ers. Hank lived a life as troubled and reckless as that depicted in his songs.Hank met Audrey Mae Sheppard, a farm girl from Banks, Alabama, in 1943, while he was playing a medicine show. The following year the couple married. Audrey became Hank’s manager just before the marriage. By 1946, Hank was a local celebrity but he was unable to make much headway nationally. That year Hank and Au-drey visited Nashville. Fred Rose, one of the heads of Acuff-Rose Publishing, liked Hank’s songs and asked him to record two sessions for Sterling Re-cords that resulted in two singles. Both of the singles, “Never Again” and “Honky Tonkin” were success-

ful and Hank signed a contract with MGM Records in early 1947. Rose be-came the singer’s manager and record producer.“Move It on Over,” released later in 1947, became Hank William’s first single for MGM. By the summer of

1948, he had joined the Louisi-ana Hayride, appearing both on its tours and radio programs. “Honky Tonkin” was released in 1948, followed by “I’m A Long Gone Daddy.” Early in 1949, he recorded “Lovesick Blues.” The single became a huge hit, stay-ing at number one for 16 weeks and crossing over into the pop Top 25. Williams sang the song at the Grand Ole Opry, where

he performed an unprecedented six encores. He had become a star. Hank and Audrey had their first child, Ran-dall Hank, in the spring of 1949.Williams had no fewer than seven hits in 1949 after “Lovesick Blues,” including the top fives, “Wedding Bells,” “Mind Your Own Business,” “You’re Gonna Change,” and “My Buckets Got a Hole in It.” In addi-tion to having a string of hit singles in 1950--including the number ones--”Long Gone Lonesome Blues,” “Why Don’t You Love Me,” and “Moanin’ the Blues,” as well as the top ten’s “I Just Don’t Like This Kind of Livin,” “My Son Calls Another Man Daddy,” “They’ll never Take Her Love From Me,” “Why Should We Try,” and “No-body’s Lonesome for Me.” That same year, Williams began recording a series of spiritual records under the name of Luke the Drifter.Hank continued to rack up hits in 1951, beginning with “Dear John” and its flip-side, “Cold Cold Heart.” He began to experience the fruits of crossover success appearing on the Perry Como television show and be-ing part of a package tour that also featured Bob Hope, Jack Benny and Minnie Pearl. He had several other hits in 1951, including the number one “Hey Good Lookin” and “How-lin at the Moon,” “I Can’t Help It (If I’m Still In Love With You,)” “Crazy Heart,” “Lonesome Whistle,” and

“Baby, We’re Really in Love” which all charted in the Top Ten.Though his professional career was soaring, Hank William’s personal life was beginning to spin out of control. Hank’s marriage to Audrey was dete-riorating. In the fall of 1951, while on a hunting trip on his Tennessee farm Hank tripped and fell, re-activating a dormant back injury. Williams began taking morphine and other pain kill-ers for his back and quickly became addicted. In January, 1952, Hank and Audrey separated for a final time. The hits were still coming fast for Williams however with “Honky Tonk Blues” which was number two in the spring. In fact he released five more singles that year. “Half As Much,” “Jambalaya,” “Settin the Woods on Fire,” “You Win Again,” and “I’ll Never Get Out of this World Alive’--which all went Top Ten. In spite of his success, he turned completely reckless in 1952, spending nearly all of his waking hours drunk and tak-ing drugs, while he was frequently destroying property and playing with guns.Audrey and Hank were officially di-vorced. He was still playing the Loui-

siana Hayride but he was perform-ing with local pickup bands and was earning reduced wages. That fall, he met Billie Jean Jones Eshlimar. By October, they were married. She later married Johnny Harden, then Hugh Lea, an Orange attorney, after Harden was killed in an auto accident. Also in October Hank signed an agreement to support a baby--yet to be delivered--of one of his girlfriends, Bobbie Jett. By the end of the year, he was having heart problems and Toby Marshall, a con-man doctor, was giving him vari-ous prescription drugs to help soothe the pain.Hank Williams was scheduled to play a concert in Canton, Ohio, on January 1, 1953. He was scheduled to fly out of Knoxville, TN, on New Year’s Eve but the weather was so bad he had to hire a chauffeur to drive him to Ohio in his new Cadillac. Before they left for Ohio, Williams was injected with two shots of Vitamin B-12 and mor-phine by a doctor. Williams got in the backseat of the Cadillac with a bottle of whiskey and the teenage chauffeur headed out for Canton. The driver was stopped for speeding and the offi-cer noticed that Williams looked like

a dead man. Williams was officially declared dead at 7 a.m. on January 1, 1953. The last single released in his lifetime was “I’ll Never Get Out of this World Alive.”Hank Williams was buried three days later. His funeral drew a record crowd. Dozens of country music stars attended as did Audrey Williams, Bil-lie Jean Jones and Bobbie Jett, who happened to give birth to a daughter three days later. “I’ll Never Get Out of this World Alive” reached number one after his death and it was followed by a number of hit records through-out 1953, including the number ones “Your Cheatin heart,” “Kaw-Liga” and “Take These Chains from My Heart.”Hank William’s impact never di-minished. His songs have become classics, his recordings have stood the test of time and his life story is legendary. It’s easy to see why he is considered by many as the defining figure of country music. My teenage years were marked by Hank as I start-ed Down Life’s Highway. These two country giants took me from child-hood to adulthood.

Bring the family Fun for all ages

Direct from Broadway, Sister Act, the hilarious, five-time Tony-nominated musical smash, is coming to Orange.

Called “In a word, divine!” by the Associated Press, Sister Act opens at the Lutcher The-ater on Nov. 8, for two perfor-mances at 2:00 and 7:30 PM.

Tickets for individuals and groups from $45-$65 are avail-able now at www.lutcher.org or by calling the Lutcher Theater Box Office at 886-5535.

Produced by Whoopi Gold-berg, TROIKA Entertainment and Sister Act On Tour, LLC, Sister Act received five 2011 Tony® Award nominations in-cluding Best Musical, Best Original Score (Alan Menken (music)/Glenn Slater (lyrics), and Best Book of a Musical (Cheri & Bill Steinkellner and Douglas Carter Beane).

“To hear people laugh and cheer the way they do at Sister Act—a show people think they know but are pleasantly sur-prised to discover is not what they are expecting—is a magi-cal experience for a producer,” says Producer Whoopi Gold-berg. “Happily, audiences across the country are able to

get in on the fun as Deloris and her fabulous sisters spread the love nationwide.”

About Sister Act

When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a mur-der, she is put into protective custody in the one place cops are sure she won’t be found-a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and an uptight Mother Superior. Us-ing her fabulous disco-ness and killer voice to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church, but in doing so blows her cover. Soon it’s nun-on-the-run time but she finds salvation in the heavenly pow-er of her newly found sister-hood. Based on the mega-hit film, Sister Act features an original Alan Menken/Glenn Slater score with a vast inspira-tion of musical styles from Motown, soul and funk to great big disco anthems and Barry White inspired musical comedy.

Sister Act features an origi-nal score with music by multi-Academy, Grammy and Gold-

en Globe Award-winning com-poser Alan Menken (Little Shop of Horrors, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid and Enchanted), lyrics by Tony and Academy Award-nominee Glenn Slater (The Little Mer-maid), and a book by multi-Emmy Award winners Cheri and Bill Steinkellner (“Cheers”) with additional book material by Tony and Olivier Award nominee Douglas Carter Beane (Xanadu, The Little Dog Laughed). Directed on Broad-way by four-time Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks (Guys and Dolls, A Funny Thing…Forum, Smokey Joe’s Café), the pro-duction features choreography by Tony and Olivier Award nominee Anthony Van Laast (Mamma Mia, Bombay Dreams) and is based on the Touchstone Pictures motion picture Sister Act written by Joseph Howard.

SISTER ACT features scenic design by Klara Zieglerova (Jersey Boys), costume design by Lez Brotherson (Swan Lake), lighting design by Natasha Katz (Once), sound design by Peter McBoyle(Come Fly Away) and hair design by Da-vid Brian Brown (Death of a Salesman).

What the critics have to sayElisabeth Vincentelli of The

New York Post calls SISTER ACT, “One of the season’s hap-piest surprises! Off the chart and packed with goodies, to which we say: Amen! Joe Dzi-emianowicz ofThe New York Daily News raves “A blessed event has landed on Broadway. Sister Act is a feel-good crowd pleasure worth celebrating. It keeps on purring from one happy moment to the next.” Charles Isherwoood of The New York Times says, “When the wimples start quivering and the nuns start rocking to raise the Gothic rafters, all’s right in the kingdom of musi-cal comedy!” and Mark Kenne-dy of The Associated Press calls SISTER ACT, “In a word, divine. This is a musical that hits all of the right spots, achieving something close to Broadway grace. It will convert you.”

Sister Act is sponsored lo-cally by INVISTA.

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

Games This WeekWEST ORANGE-STARK over HARDIN-JEF-

FERSON—e Mustangs are playing their finalgame of the regular season and will definitely beplaying in the state playoffs next month. But the bigquestion that will be answered Friday night at SourLake is which team goes to the playoffs as the Dis-trict 9-4A-I champion, the visiting Mustangs or theundefeated Hardin-Jefferson Hawks? My money iswhere it has always been—on the West Orange-Stark Mustangs.

SILSBEE over BRIDGE CITY—e Tigers havebeen coming on strong as the regular season iscoming to a close while the Cardinals continue tostruggle. is would be the perfect time for the

Redbirds to put everything together and pull off ahuge upset. Hopefully they can make it happen.

VIDOR over LUMBERTON—is should bean easy Pirates victory, but the football just doesn’tbounce that handily, so this thought should noteven prevail in the western part of Orange County.

CORRIGAN-CAMDEN overDEWEYVILLE—ere simply are too many pow-erhouse football teams in District 11-3A-II and thePirates are taking them on one at a time, but notcoming out too well. is is another Friday nighton which the Pirates are a distinct underdog andwill need a superior effort to stay competitive.

ORANGE COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN overCONROE COVENANT CHRISTIAN—eLions are coming off a three-game winning streakand then an open date last week, so they should beready for this important league contest on theirhome field Friday night.

LAMAR over HOUSTONBAPTIST—e 5-3 Cardinalshave a real valid chance of havinga non-losing season with a vic-tory over Houston Baptist Satur-day night in Beaumont. Andthen one more win in their finalthree games would give the BigRed their first winning seasonsince 1970. But as the good bookon coaching states, “they mustwin them one game at a time.”

McNEESE STATE overNORTHWESTERN STATE—is will be a pivotal game forthe Cowboys and should deter-mine what kind of chance theyhave of winning a share of theSouthland Conference title. Butthe Pokes have had their prob-lems playing the Demons inNatchitoches over the years andwill have to come up with a realsolid performance Saturdaynight.

A little more than two minutes later, after forcingthe Longhorns to punt on three and out, Dallas againhit ompson for a 68 yard touchdown. Vela’s kickwas good and the Mustangs were up by 20 to startthe second quarter.

e Mustangs once again crossed the goal line inthe second quarter when Dallas found ompsonfrom 21 yards out for his third score of the night. eLonghorn, who never quit scored in the second quar-ter and when both teams headed into the lockerroom at the half, the ‘Stangs were up, 26-7.

e Mustangs came out of the field house as firedup as they went in and Dallas continued his show,throwing to Grant LaPoint-Teate, who took the ball47 yards to make it 33-7.

e Longhorns never gave up and scored the nexttwo times they had the ball, cutting the margin to 33-21. e two quick scores got the Mustangs attention,who then finished the game with the last three touch-downs, all three coming in the fourth quarter.

victory during theentire month of Oc-tober.

e Chroniclepretty much hit thenail on the headevaluating Sunday’swin. “e victorymeans they are 4-4.Nothing more.Nothing less. eyhave beaten fourteams they were bet-

ter than (Redskins, Oakland,Buffalo and Tennessee) and lostto four teams that were betterthan them (NY Giants, Dallas,Indianapolis and the Steelers).

“A 4-4 record is mediocre. A 5-4 record with a victory over thePhiladelphia Eagles Sunday isn’t.at would show the NFL theTexans mean business,” the arti-cle concluded. Houston is onlyone game out of first place in theAFC South after Indianapolislost to Pittsburgh Sunday.

However, three of the Texans’losses have been by seven orfewer points, with the only deci-sive setback being 30-17 to theNew York Giants, who didn’thave to worry about runningback Arian Foster, who missedthe game with an injury.

Foster appeared healthy Sun-

day by blasting through the Ti-tans’ defense for 151 yards on 20carries and scoring three touch-downs. He has gained 766 yardson 146 carries for a nifty 5.2 av-erage and seven rushing touch-downs

And the defense was onceagain led by defensive end J.J.Watt who was double-teamedthe entire game. Watt camethrough getting the Texans onlytwo sacks, forcing a fumble, hav-ing two tackles for losses and apass deflection. He helped thedefense limit Tennessee to 36yards rushing and only 2.8 yardsper carry.

As far as the rest of the leagueis concerned at the halfwaypoint, the Arizona Cardinals (6-1) and the Detroit Lions (6-2)join the Dallas Cowboys asteams off to a surprising starthalfway through the schedule.Most of the other division lead-ers are playing up to expectation.

Winless Oakland and 1-7Jacksonville are doing what wasexpected of them, but the NewYork Jets, Tampa Bay, Atlanta,New Orleans and even the worldchampion Seattle Seahawks arenot doing as well as they werepredicted to do.

Seattle is 4-3 after pulling out

a hard-fought 13-9 defensivebattle against the Carolina Pan-thers Sunday. Rumors of dis-sention involving Seahawks’quarterback Russell Wilson areeither untrue or cannot be pin-pointed. Percy Harvin said Wil-son was hard to work with, butthe truth is that Harvin was theproblem and he’s gone now.

All-Pro safety Earl omas ofOrange was quoted after Sun-day’s big win as saying that Wil-son is a very talentedquarterback and a great teamleader and that everything is allright with the Seahawks.

“ere’s not that big of a con-cern that we’re just 4-3,” omassaid in the Seattle locker room.“We don’t worry about thingslike that. We are just focusing onour next game Sunday at Oak-land.”

Texas teams sitting well at halfway pointe National

Football League lastweekend reachedthe half-way markin its 16-game 2014schedule with sev-eral surprises andquite a few disap-pointments.

e two fran-chises in our fairstate – the DallasCowboys (6-2) andthe Houston Texans (4-4) – areboth ahead of the won-lossrecords they had posted at thistime last year. But neither teamis satisfied with their achieve-ments at the season’s mid-waypoint.

e Dallas Cowboys are ridingthe dramatic improvement oftheir offense, starting with thehigh draft picks on the offensiveline that are doing a tremendousjob protecting veteran quarter-back Tony Romo and openinggaping holes for running backDeMarco Murray.

e Cowboys’ defense contin-ues to get better with everygame, dramatically reducing thenumber of boneheaded mistakesand penalties that kept them onthe field so much longer last sea-son and working more like a unitas the season progresses.

So now when Idiot OwnerJerry Jones starts popping hisgums about his team being aSuper Bowl contender, instead ofthe listeners winding their fingeraround their ear implying thatJethroe is off his rocker, theymerely smile and remind himthat it’s still October and the sea-son is only half over.

However, the Houston Chron-icle runs a weekly power rankingof all 32 NFL teams each weekand last week had the DallasCowboys ranked No. 1, pointingout that “DeMarco Murray leadsthe NFL in rushing with 913yards, third in NFL history afterseven games behind TerrellDavis (1001) and Jamal Lewis(977).”

e Texans are sure to moveup from their No. 21 positionlast week based on three consec-utive losses and not countingtheir easy 30-16 win over the Ti-tans in Tennessee Sunday after-noon, which was their only

In emergency, area businesses ride to the rescueYou know you

have an enviable jobwhen the majority ofhard working folkslist your job over inthe recreation col-umn. After 42 yearsof hiring out as afishing guide, I couldnot agree more withtheir assessment, butas much as I enjoyfishing with different folks everyday, the job still has its stressfulmoments.

Knowing that someone youhave never even met is payingyou to help them find and catcha fish that you can’t see under thesurface of the water tends to raisethe stress level a tad. But for themost part it is inclement weatherand those untimely equipmentmalfunctions that give rise to anextra cup of coffee at 4:40 in themorning.

is past week was a perfectexample of the latter. eweather could not have beenmore perfect, every day wasbooked and the fish were ex-tremely cooperative. I had nodays open in the near future todeal with any unexpected equip-ment malfunctions. So, guesswhat? It started when I launchedthe boat and returned to pull thetrailer out only to discover thatthe truck battery had unexpect-edly breathed its last.

I had to disconnect a battery inthe boat just to jump start thetruck and get it parked. Knowingthat I was going to have to repeatthe procedure at the end of the

trip kept crossingmy mind even whilecatching fish. efollowing day thebracket on my trollmotor gave up theghost, but I was ableto nurse it throughanother day with thehelp of a screwdriverand tie-wraps.

And, just to top itall off, I watched a

trailer tire go flat while washingdown the boat that night. “atnight” is a little too late to takecare of the problem before a tripthe next day and it doesn’t lenditself to a good night’s sleep.ere is, however, a silver liningto this untimely mayhem as wellas an opportunity to tout theservice of area businesses.

When I waved good-bye to myclients at the end of the trip andjump-started the truck batteryone more time, my next stop wasthe bay door in front of BatteryWarehouse on 16th street in Or-ange. In less time than it took forme to drink a coke, they pulledthe old battery and Whit and hisgang had me back on the road.

Replacing the trailer tire wasan equally quick and consumer-pleasing experience. In fact, Ieven got my truck tires rotatedwhile they mounted and bal-anced the new trailer tire.Tommy met me at the front doorof Ben’s Tires in Mauriceville andI was able to call my clients to tellthem I would meet them at 9rather than noon. I was in andout in less than 30 minutes!

e biggest and most pleasant

surprise of all, however, involvedthe purchase of a new troll motor.Minn Kota has upgraded their36-volt, 101-pound thrust to 112pounds this year and I found my-self a minimum of a week awayfrom a replacement every place Icalled. Strictly out of desperation,I called Daley’s Hunt N Fish justto see if they might have a rebuiltunit in Terry’s repair department.

“I think I can do better thanthat,” answered Keith Daley onthe phone. As unbelievable asthis may sound, a new troll motorwas delivered and waiting on meat the store before noon the fol-lowing day. Daley added that ifthey do not have a certain modelin stock they can usually get it inone to three days and that theywill do warranty work on anymotor purchased from them.

e bottom line is that thanksto these three businesses, I didn’tlose a single day on the water andlost sleep worrying for no goodreason!

While waiting on Keith tomake the troll motor miraclehappen over the phone, I pickedup a bottle of scented gel that hehad concocted from several otherbrands and it has worked betterthan anything else I have cur-rently used thus far. I never reallyknow if it helps that much with aschool trout, but it has made anoticeable difference with theflounder and redfish.

I have always been a firm be-liever in adding a scent to plas-tics, but I was never sure that thefish really liked it or if it simplymasked an odor that they didn’tlike. We initially simply sprayed

WD-40 on our worms and whileit helped, I never believed the fishreally liked that smell. WhenGulp hit the market, however,there was no longer any doubtthat scent makes a difference.

e bonus with Daley’s con-

coction is that not only does itapparently attract the fish, but itis also thick enough to stay onthe lure a little longer than most.He also added glitter that dis-perses very slowly once the lurehits the water and it truly looks

like a mullet or shad that justsuffered an attack from a preda-tor.

If this next front helps as muchas the last one, we may well belooking at the easiest fishing ofthe year by this weekend!

This big over-sized red liked the new Daley’s scent!

Evolution, perhaps, but God set all in motione Big Bang theory and evo-

lution do not eliminate the exis-tence of God, who remains theone who set all of creation intomotion, Pope Francis told hisown science academy.

And God’s existence does notcontradict the discoveries of sci-ence, he told members of thePontifical Academy of SciencesOct. 27.

“When we read the accountof creation in Genesis, we riskthinking that God was a magi-cian, complete with a magicwand, able to do everything.But it is not like that,” he said.“He created living beings andhe let them develop accordingto the internal laws that he gaveeach one, so that they woulddevelop and reach their full po-tential.”

God gave creation full auton-omy while also guaranteeing hisconstant presence in nature andpeople’s lives, he said.

e beginning of the world isnot a result of “chaos,” he said,but comes directly from “asupreme principle that createsout of love.”

“e Big Bang, which today isheld as the beginning of theworld, does not contradict theintervention of the divine cre-ator, but requires it,” he said.“Evolution in nature is not atodds with the notion of creationbecause evolution presupposesthe creation of beings thatevolve.”

Members of the academy,many of them renowned scien-tists and philosophers, weremeeting at the Vatican Oct. 24-28 to discuss “Evolving Conceptsof Nature.”

Science, philosophy and reli-gion have all contributed to howpeople see the world, how itbegan and what it all means, saidthe introduction to the acad-emy’s program.

Despite many scientific ad-vances, many mysteries remain,said Rafael Vicuna, professor ofmolecular genetics and molecu-lar biology at the PontificalCatholic University of Chile.While Charles Darwin shed lighton the origin of species, one ofthe most perplexing questions isthe actual origin of life, Vicunasaid.

How is it that inert, inanimatematter turned into somethingliving, and how is it that the firstliving single-celled organismswere still so amazingly complex,he asked in his talk Oct. 27.

Chemistry, biology and genet-ics have been able to identify thetiniest components and basicbuilding blocks of living organ-isms, but there is somethingmore than just what they aremade out of that makes them“living,” he said in an interviewwith the Catholic newspaper,

Avvenire.“I can know perfectly what a

cell is made up of, but how itworks deep down, what really isthe dynamism that makes itmove -- that is, life -- I don’tknow,” Vicuna said. “A refrigera-tor and a car are complex struc-tures that move, but only with animmense amount of energy fromthe outside. Life, in its deepest

essence, remains something thatescapes us.”

In his talk to academy mem-bers, Vicuna said the laws ofchemistry and physics “do notsuffice to grasp the whole of life... that life is more than mole-cules.”

Another mystery is howeverything in the universe, fromthe smallest atomic particles to

every galaxy, is spinning and or-biting, another academy mem-ber said.

Rudolf Muradyan, a quantumand mathematical physicist whoalso works in cosmology, said inhis talk that spin “is the most im-portant problems in our uni-verse. It is the only thing thatprevents the universe from to-tally collapsing.”
