Dville grad home from second stint overseas

By Gabriel Pruett The Orange Leader See the results of High School games on 1B. Charles Leger graduated from Deweyville High School in 2004 and has graduated from war service twice. Leger returned home from Afghanistan in August after being deployed in January. It was the second time his United States Marine Corp. battalion has been called into action. His first stint came in May 2009 when he stayed until November of the same year. Leger was part of the infantry unit called Americas Battalion in his stays overseas. He described the land and its people as those still living off the land. It is that type of living which Leger now feels comfortable with in his life back home. It was a learning experience, Leger said. I know I really dont need much to stay alive. All I need is food, water and shelter. The war Leger was helping fight is tied directly into the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on American soil. When the terrorists struck our home, they started a war against our country that even 10 years from then we are still fighting. Leger was a sophomore in high school when the attacks were made and said he wanted to enlist directSee HOME, Page 8A The time for talking is done/7B.

Members of the Orange Lions Club began work bright and early Friday morning to prepare the grounds of Orange Lions Den Park for the 2011 Lions Club Carnival, as shown by Robert Sepulvado using a tractor to unload fencing from a flatbed trailer. The carnival will be held Oct. 5 to Oct. 8, and again from Oct. 12 to Oct. 15.
A local organization which is known for helping its own community is reaching out to others, and your help is needed. The Orange Jaycees are holding a special fundraiser for victims of the Texas wildfires from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 10, in the parking lot in front of Big Lots on MacArthur Drive in Orange. Niki Monceaux of the Orange Jaycees is one of many wanting to help the people who have lost everything to these terrible wildfires. Some people have absolutely nothing left, except the clothes they are wearing, Monceaux said. Those of us who live here in Orange County have gone through hurricanes. Weve been where they are. Weve gone through a disaster. This time it is someone else who is going through it, so we need to help. See JAYCEES, Page 8A

Service. "The bottom line is that his trial was tainted by this racist evidence. So we're asking that he have a fair opportunity, in front of a jury that's not biased by this sort of thing, to argue for his life." She says the Buck case highlights how the death penalty is sometimes applied unfairly, even after the question of guilt or innocence has been settled. Buck shot and killed Debra Gardner and Kenneth Butler in 1995, and injured Phyllis Taylor, who now says she has forgiven him and wants his life spared. Keilen says allowing race to factor into the sentencing violated both the dueprocess and equal-protection clauses of the Constitution. "It's something that should not be controversial. It's something that should be obvious to everyone, both at the official level and the public at large, that this can't be tolerated when someone's life is on the line." Buck's lawyers also have asked current Attorney General Greg Abbott, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, and Gov. Rick Perry to intervene. So far, Keilen says, everyone who could postpone the Sept. 15 execution has remained silent on the matter. "Whether or not anyone intervenes - or even makes a decision until at the last minute - we just don't know." Perry has allowed 235 executions during his 10 years as governor. He has granted clemency only once, not counting capital cases in which the Supreme Court intervened.
September is National Preparedness Month

Special to The Leader DENTON, Texas - Are you ready for a disaster? The time to prepare is right now. That's the message the Federal E m e r g e n c y Management Agency (FEMA) is working to get out to people in Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas during September, which is National Preparedness Month (NPM). NPM is an annual initiative sponsored by FEMA's Ready Campaign in partnership with Citizen Corps and the Ad Council. The theme this year is "A Time to Remember, A Time to Prepare." "This is a season when many of us will reflect upon past disasters such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks and Hurricane Katrina," said FEMA Region 6 Administrator Tony Russell. "But we must also remember to look forward and be prepared because disasters can happen anywhere at any time. We strongly encourage everyone to take these crucial steps to get ready: have a plan in place, put together an emergency kit and stay informed by listening to your local and state officials." Tools and resources are available in English and Spanish to help people prepare for, respond to and recover from any type of disaster. Visit the Ready Campaign's websites, ready.gov and listo.gov, or call these toll-free numbers, 1-800-BEREADY and 1-888-SELISTO, for more information. FEMA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

Keep Memories
HOUSTON When kids need something to drink, reconsider reaching for that juice box. Its easy to get confused about what is and what is not a fruit juice. According to Roberta Anding, a registered dietitian at Baylor College of Medicine, if the label does not say 100 percent juice, it is not genuine fruit juice but fruit-flavored instead. Such fruitflavored beverages, like many of those handy little juice boxes, have higher sugar content than fruit juice and are even comparable to sodas.

FROM THE EDITOR:
We will never forget the victims of 9-11-01

A majority of us remember where we were when the Twin Towers fell. We remember what we were doing when the Pentagon was struck by an airplane and the fourth plane crashed in a Pennsylvania field. We have not forgotten for a single moment the cowardly attacks our country faced on Sept. 11, 2001. We will never forget. These attacks opened our eyes and our hearts. We were once again joined together as Americans, as the case was when Pearl Harbor was attacked. The images of the burning buildings was and still is an image we can easily see in our minds. This country has come a long way since the attacks. The terrorists are being fought still to this day and we took down their leader in May. No matter if one agrees or disagrees with the war on terror, we should all stand behind our troops who are giving up their lives at home to face these pillars of evil. The war on terror is the war spawned from the attacks. Our leaders promised we would track them down and it is being done even at this very moment. We all owe it to the victims of Sept. 11, 2001 to continue to make sure we seek out those who wish to harm this nation even more and bring them to justice. If we fail in this mission then we would take a step towards forgetting that tragic day. And we shall never forget.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Thibodeaux to be applauded for fast action in Orange County
A little over two months ago, a phone line was run by ATT to repair a neighbors home phone. The line crossed my driveway as well as two of my neighbors not the neighbor for which they performed the repair. The customer called after the line wasnt buried, I called, and so did another neighbor with no avail. We were all told it would be buried, but saw no response. I contacted the state representatives office and finally last week I contacted Judge Carl Thibodauxs office, spoke to his secretary, and explained the situation. The phone line was buried the next day, and according to my husband, they even ran a new line and buried it, not the one that had been run over by all three neighbors several times. But what occurred today was the icing on the cake, Judge Thibodaux, himself, called me and asked if the work had been performed. This left me with one thought; County Judge Carl Thibodaux cares! Brenda D. Woolever
intrusion into private lives. In a balanced and legally incisive opinion, Judge Sparks left in place the requirement for a preabortion sonogram because that is already standard medical procedure. He zeroed in on the provision that requires "the physician who is to perform the abortion" to also be responsible for conducting the sonogram and making the presentation to the patient of both the image and the sound of the fetus 24 hours or more before the procedure can be done. Since several clinic physicians might be involved in such a drawn-out scenario, Judge Sparks found "a physician should not have to gamble his or her entire career (to say nothing of $10,000 and a criminal record) on the mere hope a judge or jury will agree with the physician's interpretation of that phrase." Likewise, Judge Sparks found that a provision requiring doctors to provide paternity and child support information to women deciding not to have an abortion imposes an unconstitutional duty on the physician without explaining how or what constitutes compliance with the law. The Houston Chronicle
NOT GIVING IN
REMEMBERING THE LOST
Federal judge rightly stays sonogram law

Funny how Texas elected officials who constantly denounce federal intrusion into our private lives are quite willing to sanction the most personally invasive of regulations when it suits their own agenda. Case in point: the state's new abortion sonogram law, which intrudes into the doctor-patient relationship to require women not only to have preabortion sonograms but to view the fetus in the womb and listen to its heartbeats. It then mandates a 24-hour waiting period before the patient can have an abortion. A day before it would have gone into effect, a federal judge appointed by President George H.W. Bush in 1991, Austin's Sam Sparks, issued a temporary restraining order finding some parts of the law unconstitutional and effectively preventing its enforcement. In a reversal of the usual scenario, this time a federal jurist is blocking excessive state
Remembering through honor, vigilance, freedom

How do you remember Sept. 11, 2001? The lasting images are deeply disturbing, still inducing shock and sorrow. Jets crashing into skyscrapers. Explosions and fire. People fleeing in terror. Landmark buildings crumbling to smoking dust. A black hole in the ground, fragments of an airplane scattered across the rural countryside. Tears of loss, shock and horror. On this 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, even as our minds retain such unforgettable experiences, we sometimes struggle with how to remember. Together, we have passed through the valley of the shadow of death, and stand on the mountain looking back. Remembering.

The Tribune-Democrat
Did the terrorists win?

I've heard it said before that it would be impossible for any outsiders to take down the United States. No one could match the strength of our military, ingenuity and wealth. The only real way to take down America was from the inside out. I think since 9/11, we have been doing a pretty good job of that. As of Sept. 30, 2001, just 19 days after the attacks, our national debt stood at $5.8 trillion. This week, our debt was at $14.7 trillion. Our credit rating as a nation has been downgraded. Gold is skyrocketing and there are countries pushing for the U.S. Dollar to no longer be the dominant currency in the world. I think we can chalk all of that up as a victory for the terrorists. On the day of the attack, we lost 3,000 Americans. In the decade since, America has lost 1,749 servicemen and women in Operation Enduring Freedom; 4,421 in Operation Iraqi Freedom and 56 in Operation New Dawn (the new name for Iraq after September 2010). Those wounded in these three operations, as of Sept. 7 total 45,889, according to the Department of Defense. I'm not sure if those wounded include those with mental issues following the war, nor do I know if the numbers include those who tragically took their own lives when they got home. Clearly, the terrorists' American casualties have multiplied, and one might be able to chalk this up as a victory as well. Let's not forget the Patriot Act and other legislation that have chipped away at our fundamental freedoms, our inalienable rights in the years since. Beyond all of that, New Y ork Mayor Michael Bloomberg has forbidden any religious symbolism or mention at this weekend's commemorative events. He, like many others, seems to have forgotten that the First Amendment, in regard to religion, allows the free exercise thereof. All of these things play into American values, and what we stand for. Each time a tragedy strikes our country, you'll hear every politician say, Keep the victims and their families in your thoughts and prayers. But to whom are we praying? While we have no established religion as a country (nor should we), American citizens of the JudeoChristian faith still vastly outnumber every other religion. The U.S. Census indicates that of America's total adult population in 2008, there were 173 million Christians and 2.6 million Jews. There were approximately six million Americans who have a different faith, 11 million refused to answer the question and 34 million indicated they had no religion. The very people who preach tolerance seem to lack the same feeling for those of us who consider ourselves Christians. Just because we would like to praise God, seek His blessings over the victims of tragedy does not mean other people are forced to join in. Y we are often treated et, us as the enemy. If the terrorists hated America because of our faith and support for Israel, I'm pretty sure that today's attitude of too many Washington elitists are more to their liking. Another victory for the terrorists. It was just Monday when our own Vice President, Joe Biden, referred to those who share the beliefs of the Tea Party as barbarians. Not far away, while introducing President Obama, Jimmy Hoffa called us SOBs. In the past, Rep. Maxine Waters has identified us as the enemy. We've been unjustly called terrorists, racists and hostage takers, all in the name of gaining political power and influence. But at the end of the day, we're all Americans. Is there nothing left that unites us a nation? No common belief? I don't even know if freedom or capitalism can unite us as a nation anymore. Meanwhile, all of this infighting has crippled our ability to excel as a nation, deal with our fiscal issues and put our country on the right path. Because of this, we are slowly becoming the kind of nation we've fought to secure. That is a nation led by ideologues, one in which the rule of law no longer applies and our fundamental beliefs and documents are allowed to be ignored because of the apathy of the populous. I don't know about you, but I don't like that. I don't want that for the next generation. Let's show the terrorists they didn't win. The America they challenged is worth fighting for and resurrecting. If we continue to self-destruct, who knows what kind of a world we will leave behind? Remember that we are the UNITED States of America, and UNITED we stand, but divided we fall. By Steve Woodhouse CNHI News Service

Beat the Heat lecture series continues in September

Special to The Leader Stark Foundation ORANGE Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center announces additional Beat The Heat Lecture programs for September. The Beat The Heat lectures include experts sharing knowledge with the public on topics such as wildlife, gardening, art and more. Participants will meet at the Admissions Window at the scheduled event time, 7 p.m., with sessions lasting about an hour in the Discovery Theater. All programs offered in the series are free of charge, but an RSVP is required as space is limited. Call 409-6709799 for reservations. Sept. 15 - Designing with Native Plants: Andrea DeLongAmaya, Director of Horticulture at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, will discuss how their staff have been exploring innovative ways to use Texas native plants, arranging them in unique patterns not necessarily found in nature, to create stylized or even formal compositions. With all of the compelling reasons to use natives instead of or along with non-native species, it would be a shame for gardeners to reject native plants assuming they are inappropriate in a home landscape because they only work in naturalistic designs. It is possible to make gripping, artistic and conservation-friendly gardens with native plants regardless of the style of garden you prefer. Seating is limited, and a reservation is required. To RSVP call , 409-670-9799. Sept. 29 - Azaleas for the South: Bart Brechter, Curator of Bayou Bend Gardens, will present the program Azaleas for the South. In this program, he will highlight proper methods of planting, growing and caring for azaleas. Brechter will also describe diseases associated with azaleas and how to treat them. Every spring, Bayou Bend Gardens in Houston turns into a wonderland of beautiful azaleas. Much of the success of Bayou Bend Gardens can be contributed to the efforts of Mr. Brechter. Dont miss out on this chance to learn from his experience. Seating is limited, and a reservation is required. To RSVP call , 409-670-9799. For those interested in attending either of the Beat The Heat programs, RSVP by calling 409670-9799. Located at 2111 W. Park Ave. in Orange, Texas, Shangri La is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Sundays, noon until 5 p.m. For more information, visit shangrilagardens.org.

H-E-B provides community support as Texas wildfires rage

Special to The Leader HOUSTON H-E-B will donate $50,000 to the American Red Cross for Wildfire Aid and launch a statewide checkstand tear pad donation campaign benefiting the organization in response to the recent devastating wildfires sweeping across Texas. One hundred percent of the donations will support American Red Cross emergency relief efforts, which may include sending relief supplies, mobilizing relief workers and providing financial resources to wildfire victims. H-E-B has activated its emergency response units to assist the American Red Cross and Texas firefighters as the state combats wildfires. On Monday, September 5, H-E-B sent the Eddie Garcia Mobile Kitchen to Bastrop to provide much needed meals, water and ice to evacuees and those working to put an end to the fires. Over the course of two days, more than 2,500 meals have been served from the Eddie Garcia Mobile Kitchen at the Red Cross Emergency Shelter at Bastrop Middle School, including providing lunches for 270 firefighters before their 7:30 AM shift to ensure they would have a meal while serving in remote locations. H-E-B will
Vitamin C protects, maintains healthy bone mass

Special to The Leader HOUSTON Vitamin C plays an important role in maintaining bone mass promoting the balance between old bone resorption and new bone formation, said a Baylor College of Medicine doctor. Most experts recommend vitamin D, calcium, exercise and bisphosphonates to keep bones healthy, said Dr. Kenneth Gabbay, professor of pediatrics molecular diabetes and metabolism at BCM. Vitamin C is sometimes left out of the healthy bone equation but studies show that its equally important.
This is a heart wrenching time for many of our neighbors as they face loss and uncertainty due to the wildfires...
Winell Herron
H-E-B Group Vice President of Public Affairs and Diversity
continue to serve three meals a day from the Eddie Garcia Mobile Kitchen in Bastrop until the need subsides. In Magnolia, H-E-B trailers delivered water and other supplies requested by evacuees. H-E-B Partners (employees) volunteered and provided requested supplies such as paper towels, pain relievers, eye drops, meats, cheeses and water. H-E-B Partners will be providing food to firefighters and displaced residents for dinner tonight, with plans being made to provide meals tomorrow. Additionally, with hundreds of people displaced from their homes, the company is supporting emergency first responders and the American Red Cross by donating pallets of Hill Country Fare bottled water and H-E-B snack items as well as readymeals and other needed supplies such as sunscreen, goggles, lip balm and moisturizer. To further expand relief efforts, H-E-B announced today that customers will be provided a way to donate
funds to the American Red Cross. Beginning today, the company will launch a checkstand donation campaign in select stores. Customers will have the opportunity to add a donation of $1, $3 or $5 to their total grocery bill either at check out or at the Business Center. One hundred percent of the donations will go to the American Red Cross and its emergency relief efforts in Texas. This is a heart wrenching time for many of our neighbors as they face loss and uncertainty due to the wildfires. We are committed to providing assistance during this time of crisis, said Winell Herron, H-E-B Group Vice President of Public Affairs and Diversity. It is our hope that H-E-Bs donations, along with our loyal customers support, will help meet the immediate needs of our displaced neighbors while also aiding larger relief efforts with the American Red Cross. HE-Bs tear pad campaign offers a simple and reliable way for our customers to support
the communities affected by this natural disaster. Providing aid in times of need is the cornerstone of H-E-Bs Helping Here philosophy, which promises to stand by communities during times of crisis. For more than 100 years, the company has demonstrated its commitment to communities in crisis by donating financial support, emergency supplies, drinking water and food, as well as providing efficient ways for customers to assist those affected by a natural disaster.

God is the best problem solver

I HATE God, the caller said, sobbing almost uncontrollably. Why doesnt God do something to help? Ive asked, and asked but He doesnt do anything. Im angry with Him because the Bible says, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. It sounds like a cut and dried deal. But, NO! It doesnt work at all. This conversation continued for 45-minutes. I tried my best to offer the best counsel I could in order to help the caller see there will be times when we DO NOT understand, why we DO NOT find the relief we want instantly. What do we do? It is then we say, Lord, I dont under-
Charles Holt
Guest Column stand why this is happening; it hurts real bad, but I trust in Your wisdom, power, and grace to see me through this darkness and through these tears. In his book entitled STORM WARNINGS, Billy Graham says: Perhaps you have faced pain or suffering you did not understand. You may even have become angry at God for allowing it to
happen while others escaped such problems. Dont let the acids of bitterness eat away inside. Instead, learn the secret of trusting Christ in every circumstance. Learn to say with Paul, 'I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength' (Philippians 4:11-13). There is an old proverb (not found in Scripture) that says, God works in mysterious ways His wonders
to perform. There is, however, a Scripture that comes close to saying it: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts (Isaiah 55:8,9). Hearing that from the Almighty should inspire each of us to confidently trust Him to solve problems, fix situations; make a way where there seems to be no way, no matter how difficult it may appear to us. God is the best problem solver I know. Turn them over to Him.

Before oil was king in Southeast Texas, timber was king and a multitude of sawmills dotted the landscape as this marker at Ochiltree Park on Front Street commemorates. Orange County's sawmill and timber industry began with handoperated logging operations run by pioneer settlers in the 1820s. In 1835 Robert Boothe established the area's first mechanized sawmill, and in 1841 Paine & Bendy established the first steam-driven sawmill. Cypress was the primary timber harvested until the late 1850s when the processing of native pine began. Sawmill company towns and logging camps were established throughout the county as the number of mills began to rise in the late 1870s. Increasing quantities of logs were transported by raft on the Sabine and Neches rivers to area timber operations.
Many mills burned and were never rebuilt. In the early 1900s the area's sawmill and timber industry underwent a period of consolidation and a transition from reliance on water transportation to the use of the rapidly expanding railroad network. By 1909 the Miller Lind, A. E. Smith Cypress, and Lutcher & Moore's upper and lower mills dominated the area's timber industry. By 1931, however, the last of these four mills, the Leader photo by David Ball Lutcher & Moore Before oil was king in Southeast Texas, timber upper mill, had closed.

ure to make the railroad crossings at Interstate 10 feeder roads, North and South Streets, which cross Old Highway 90, into a quiet zone, as well as the crossing at North and South Dewitt. We had several strong proponents on the subject of creating quiet zones in the city, Jorgensen said. Some citizens have approached their councilmen, who asked for the topic to be placed on the agenda. A Quiet Zone is a section of track where train operators are not
allowed to sound their horns unless there is an emergency or imminent safety risk such as someone walking along the track. Communities must qualify for Quiet Zones by installing Supplemental Safety Measures (SSMs) at train crossings in order to overcome the additional safety risk that might result from silencing the train horn. Typically, these additional safety measures include medians at crossings so vehicles and pedestrians can not go around the crossing gates. Safety is the primary concern when it comes to implementing a Quiet Zone.
The Federal Railroad Administration must give final approval of all SSMs and Quiet Zone proposals. Vidor has numerous railroad crossings, but the cost of turning each crossing area into a quiet zone is staggering. The cost factor is anywhere from $125,000 to $250,000 per crossing, Jorgensen said. Several options are available for communities to alert motorists of oncoming trains. One such device, according to Quiet Zone Technologies, is a wayside horn known as the Automated Horn System. The AHS is a stationary horn located at a rail crossing,

ly after high school. He did not join the service until he was 21 and it did not take long for him to be shipped off to an unknown land. The first go around there was a lot of small arms fire, Leger said. We had 3-4 TICs (troops in combat) a day for five months. We were going into their backyard and the only thing we had on our side was the act of surprise. For the first
three days we stayed in our gear all day and night and barely slept. We really had no phone privileges the first time I was over there. Legers wife Rachel said she only heard from him twice during his first deployment. Of all things Leger used to describe time in Afghanistan he said most of the time he and his fellow troops were bored. You are constantly sitting there and thinking about being home, Leger said. You think about what your friends
and family are doing and what you would be doing if you were there. Leger might not need the finer things in life now that he is home for what he hopes is for good but he does have one splurge. I get to have my Taco Bell, he said. I defi-
nitely have a different take on life. All of Orange County can be thankful they have the same freedoms in life thanks to soldiers like Leger who since Sept. 11, 2001 have fought to ensure our way of life has not changed.

Sleeping pills not easy answer

Special to The Leader HOUSTON When sleep doesnt come easily, some people turn to what they think is an easy solution sleeping pills. But according to a Baylor College of Medicine sleep expert, sleep medications whether prescription or over-thecounter shouldn't be taken lightly. All medications have side effects that need to be weighed whenever you take them, cautioned Dr. Phil Alapat, assistant professor of pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine at BCM and medical director of the BCM Sleep Center.

Free legal assistance for struggling TX Veterans

Special to The Leader AUSTIN, Texas - A new tollfree hotline is providing lowincome Texas veterans with free legal aid in civil cases. Today's returning veterans are more likely than the general population to face unemployment, homelessness and disabilities. While the Veterans Administration and Texas Veterans Commission often can assist with major challenges, sometimes a relatively minor legal obstacle can be the start of a downward spiral. George Murff, managing attorney with the Veterans Legal Assistance Project, says the idea of the hotline is to relieve vets of the kinds of legal headaches that sideline working-class people everywhere. "... Problems with their landlord, with divorces and child support and custody. Contract disputes. All the little things that add up and make life challenging for people at the lower end of the economic spectrum." The toll-free hotline is open to all Texas veterans who earn up to 200 percent of the official poverty rate. It does not handle criminal cases or traffic tickets, Murff says. Attorneys already have assisted nearly 1,000 veterans - negotiating with utilities, reviewing documents, preparing for court hearings, fighting for benefits or making referrals to other resources. The unemployment rate among veterans is more than 13 percent - about 4 percent higher than the national average. Many lack college degrees, Murff says, which makes job searches tougher. "It's an unfortunate fact that, sometimes, serving your country doesn't help your career afterwards. So, we're just making sure that veterans have access to as good or better legal services as other members of the population." Funding for the program comes, in part, from the sale of Veterans Cash lottery scratchoff tickets. Murff says more information about the hotline can be found at the Texas Legal Services Center website: TLSC.org ... "...Or for you veterans: TangoLima-Sierra-Charlie-dot-OscarRomeo-Golf." The hotline number is 800622-2520. The Texas Veterans Commission has information about benefits and resources online at tvc.state.tx.us.

Petition drive targets a 'Monster' of a problem

Special to The Leader Twenty-five million Americans are unemployed or underemployed - approximately the population of Texas. With 4.7 jobless people for every available position, the odds are stacked against them. To make matters worse, there's a growing trend among businesses to only hire people who already are employed. When Kelly Wiedemer found out that some major job-search sites allow companies to take applications from employed people only, she started a petition drive aimed at Monster.com to stop that discrimination. The Westminster, Colo., woman already has collected nearly 90,000 online signatures at Change.org. "It's a horrible, horrible situation. Everybody, really, they don't want any form of welfare, so to speak, with unemployment. We want to work." Monster.com reportedly has responded to the petition by threatening legal action against Wiedemer's campaign. A company spokesperson says discrimination based on employment status falls into a gray area. Some employers defend the practice on the basis that skills can deteriorate while unemployed. New Jersey already has a law banning job ads that prohibit jobless workers from applying, and Michigan and New York are considering it. A measure to outlaw the practice has also been introduced in Congress. The practice of discrimination against the unemployed negates everything a worker has accomplished in the course of a lifetime, Wiedemer says. "Without saying so, they said that my education, my experience and my background had no value whatsoever." Wiedemer hopes to collect 200,000 signatures in her drive to get sites such as Monster and Career Builder to stop taking such ads. Information about the petition drive is online at change.org.

Bobcats smother Eagles

By Steve Ramsey
The Orange Leader ORANGEFIELD The Orangefield defense played as if they were on a mission and the offense took advantage of what the defense gave them and the result was 28-6 in what was the Bobcats best overall performance so far in this season. The defense picked off four Woodville (1-2) passes and hurried the Eagles quarterback Tyler Weatherford all night. The Bobcats (2-1) also held mammouth running back Marcus Harrison to just 92 yards on twenty carries. Orangefields Eric Truncale had a career night to say the least. He picked off three passes, ran one back for a touchdown, had a 80yard touchdown run and rushed for 96 yards on just four touches. Levi Shores had the other interception to set up the Bobcats first score. Sterling Deslatte, Jake Best, Jackson Calhoun and Ty Johnson smothered the Eagle offense and came up with big plays all night. It fires me up when I see those guys flying around out there, said a smiling Brian Huckabay. We had good field postion all night and we got turnovers and that was the key to the game.

Lions eager to growl to Houston

By Van Wade
The Orange Leader

HOUSTON Time has arrived for those roaring Community Christian Lions. The Lions will line up for the first time for real today when they strap it on to take on Houston Christian on the road in Six-Man football. Its been a lot of fun trying to control the boys this week because theyre so excited, said Community head coach Adam Strandberg. The students are going crazy. Its going to be a great atmosphere. People are so excited about loading up and making the trip. Weve heard all week about how kids are going to car pool. The kickoff will be at 11 a.m. The Lions have adjusted to Six-Man rules pretty well but Strandberg definitely understands that there is a learning curve. We really do have some excellent athletes, said Strandberg. Our athleticism will help us early on, which will help make up for adjusting to some of the rules. The Lions fared well in their first scrimmage a couple weeks ago. We were a little rusty at the beginning and then the kids adapted and started
figuring things out, said Strandberg. The kids really got fired up after they were hitting and in pursuit. Offensively, we came up with a few big plays. They realize that there will be a lot of things that well have to correct along the way. The more experience they get, the better they will get and they definitely understand that. The starting quarterback for the Lions will be Alex Parrish with Jacob Trevino also seeing some snaps as well. The backfield will consist of swift back C.J. Wagner, Trevino and Joseph Pulido. The receiving slots will consist of Brett Foster and Joseph LeBlanc and Jacob Alexander will be at tight end. Amron Akhtar and Ryan Tibbitts will man the offensive line. Offensively, I believe we can do a lot of things, its just about executed and learning the game better as they go, said Strandberg. Alex (Parrish) has looked good at quarterback. C.J. (Wagner), hes going to be a sight to see. Just when you think youve got him, hes gone right past you. We dont have a lot of players on the team but the ones we have are all pretty nice athletes.

Community Christian quarterback Alex parrish (33) hands off to running back C.J. Wagner (5) as Jacob Trevino (12) looks to be a lead blocker at practice. The Lions are on the road at Houston Christian today.
Defensively, Akhtar and Tibbitts will line up as the defensive line. Parrish and Trevino will be at the linebacker slots. Foster, LeBlanc and Pulido will be in the cornerback spots while Wagner and Alexander will be at safety. Defensively, you can do a lot of things, said Strandberg. Were working on several different sets and the kids are picking up on the philosophy pretty quick. Foster will handle the kicking chores while Alexander has been booming some punts during practice sessions. Houston Christian fell in their opener last week, falling the Houston Clear Lake 73-44. That game was a little deceiving, said Strandberg. It was 20-20 late in

the first half and Houston Christian wore down a bit in the second half. Houston Christian is like us in many ways. They only had about 11 or 12 players while Clear Lake had about 25. Clear Lake kinda wore them down with depth. Six-Man rules are a little different compared to regular 11man football. Each team has four downs to go 15 yards to make a first down. The field is 40 x 80 instead of 50 x 100. A touchdown is still worth six points. However, a pointafter kick is worth two points and if you try to run or pass the ball for an extra point, you just get one point. A field goal is worth four points instead of the regular three. The Lions will be back in action this Friday when they venture to Brenham

fished under popping corks. Flounder are good and improving on finger mullet and jigs tipped with shrimp. Sabine Pass---The jetties good for bull redfish on cut mullet and live croaker. Croaker and black drum are good around drop-offs and shell in the channel. Very few reports of trout. Lake Calcasieu (Big Lake)---Hackberry Rod and Gun reports the big north winds that came out of the north and northwest with Tropical Storm Lee muddied up the lake but things have cleared up and trout and reds are biting again under the birds. Strong concentrations of fish are also biting over shell reefs and scattered shell. Very few reports of flounder. Sabine River--Croaker are very good around sandbars and shell on dead shrimp. Reds are fair with some good fish reported around drop offs and in the passes. Flounder are fair with a few fish caught on jigs tipped with shrimp. Trout are scattered. Sam Rayburn---Guide Roger Bacon reports topwaters should be the first thing you throw each morning when fishing for largemouths. Walking plugs like the Spook, Jr. are producing the most fish. Fluke type baits are also producing some fish with the bulk of the action around exposed grass and points. Crappie are good on shiners fished over brush piles in 20 to 30 feet of water. Very few reports of catfish. Toledo Bend---Holly Park Marina reports the launch remains open but not good for big pontoon boats or extra big bass rigs. Bass are good on worms in various colors fished in the grass in four to eight feet of water. Some anglers have been using swimming baits under the bridge and catching some nice bass. The crappie bite has turned off almost completely. Very few reports of catfish. Hunting---Texas Parks & Wildlife Department officials report prospects look solid if you have access to water. New flights of teal arrived ahead of the front and should continue to arrive with the forthcoming full moon. To say that water is a commodity is an understatement. Many of those who can afford the high price tag to pump ponds have been hindered due to water restrictions brought about by the year-long drought. Higher tides associated with Tropical Storm Lee pushed filled marsh ponds, and ponds on the east side of Houston received 1-2 inches of rain from Lee.

Legislation could aid fishing access

The American S p o r t f i s h i n g Association (ASA) says the sportfishing industry as a whole lauds the Recreational Fishing and Hunting Heritage and Opportunities Act, introduced by Representatives Dan Benishek (R-MI) and Dan Boren (D-OK), that will ensure that recreational fishing, hunting and shooting sports are supported as public activities on federal lands. ASA reported the two members of the Congressional Sportsmens Caucus introduced the Act on Friday, September 2, 2011. This bipartisan legislation directs federal land management agencies, such as the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to apply the multi-use mandates in their management plans to support public access to our nations public lands. "While many of these agencies are most commonly known for their timber resources and energy development, federal lands also offer tremendous recreational fishing opportunities," said ASA Vice President Gordon Robertson. "Unfortunately access for traditional recreational activities on these lands is limited, as is public awareness of the problem. With lack of access being one of the most common reasons keeping anglers from enjoying a day on the water, this new leg-
The Orange Leader islation opens an opportunity to increase sportfishing participation, not just on public lands, but nation-wide." A recent Congressional report concluded that more than 35 million acres of land owned by the USFS and BLM have inadequate access for sportsmen and women. With respect to the agencies land management plans, this legislation directs managers to facilitate recreational fishing and hunting on public lands and waters according to ASA. Now onto the report North Sabine--Redfish are good around the islands in the channel on dead shrimp fished over drop-offs and around sandbars and shell. Trout are fair with some action under birds around the passes and on the main lake when the winds are light. Flounder are improving daily with good catches reported along the Louisiana shoreline on Gulp curltails and jigs tipped with shrimp. South Sabine---Trout and reds remain fair under the birds. Anglers able to find concentrations of shrimp are catching the most fish. The best action is on Gulp or live shrimp

Big 12 teams wonder about future battles

By Stephen Hawkins
AP Sports Writer Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops is willing to play wherever his school's president and athletic director decide is best, even if it means a move by the top-ranked Sooners could trigger the nation's first 16-team super conference. "It seems that's the direction the world's going," Stoops said Monday. "So if it is, so be it." Stoops stopped short on speculating what might happen or saying what he prefers. Oklahoma president David Boren said just before the season's opening weekend that the Sooners would decide within the next three weeks, if not sooner, if they would leave the Big 12 for another conference. "As long as we get to play, I'll go play wherever," Stoops said during the Big 12 coaches' weekly conference call. "I've got great faith in (the president and AD), so for me to say what I'd prefer wouldn't be right to do." With half the Big 12 heading into an off week, after all 10 teams won their openers at home, there are more questions about the future of the league. After trimming down to 10 teams with the losses of Nebraska (Big Ten) and Colorado (Pac12), the Big 12 hadn't even opened its new season before Texas A&M last week formally announced its intention to leave the league. The Aggies are expected to apply for membership to the Southeastern Conference, as early as this week when they are one of the teams with an open date. "I did not think it would come up again," Texas coach Mack Brown said about questions of the Big 12's future. "I thought it was over for at least 10 years." There had been interest from the then-Pac-10 last summer of Texas and Oklahoma, along with Oklahoma State and Texas Tech, heading West as potentially part of a 16-team league. Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said Saturday before the Oregon-LSU game in Texas that schools have reached out to his league recently. Scott wouldn't say who they were, but said he was listening even though he wasn't recruiting new members for his league. Stoops said his focus is on playing sixth-ranked Florida State on Sept. 17
Cardinals head to South Alabama

By Rush Wood
Lamar SID Office MOBILE, Ala. Lamar Universitys high-rolling Cardinals will follow their record-setting 58-0 season-opening romp over Texas College with a much stiffer test this Saturday afternoon as they will hit the road to challenge South Alabama in 38,888-seat Ladd-Peebles Stadium. Under the guidance of coach Joey Jones, South Alabama boasts an unblemished 18-0 record since starting its football program during the 2009 season. Lamar Universitys players got an up close look at the quality of South Alabamas team in Beaumont last year when the Jaguars dealt the Cardinals a 26-0 defeat. South Alabama opened its season on Sept. 1 with a 20-10 home victory over West Alabama. Sophomore running back Kendall Houston helped lead
the way by rushing for a game-high 78 yards and two touchdowns. His scores came on runs of 2 and 10 yards. Freshman quarterback C.J. Bennett completed 12 of 21 passes for 151 yards, but he threw three interceptions. Junior running back DePauldrick Garrett, a transfer from Navarro College, made his Cardinal debut a spectacular one as he ran for a school-record four touchdowns and scored a record 24 points in last Saturdays season-opening victory over Texas College. All four of Garretts touchdowns came from 1 yard out, and he finished the game with 105 yards on 20 carries, making him Lamars first 100-yard rusher since Danny Faust netted 130 in a 1989 game against West Texas A&M. Garretts 24 points scored snapped the 26year-old record of 20 scored by Harold LaFitte in a 1965 game against Pensacola Navy.
Also, sophomore kicker Justin Stout of West Mesquite matched Lamars record for extra points kicked in a game with eight. The only other Cardinal to kick eight PATs in a game was Walter Smith against Mexico Poly in 1953. Meanwhile, the Cardinals 58-point winning margin was the largest in school history. It exceeded the 48-point margin the 1961 Cardinals posted in a 62-22 win over Mexico Poly. Lamars defenders were dominant, limiting the Steers to five first downs, 45 rushing yards and 64 total yards on 51 plays. In the Jaguars, the Cardinals will be facing a team that outscored its 2010 opponents by a combined margin of 374-96 margin. On display again for Saturdays gathering will be the Cardinals newly-found potent running attack, which accumulated 209 yards in
their season opener. By comparison, the 2010 Cardinals averaged 60.3 rushing yards per game and they scored only one rushing touchdown. Six of the Cardinals eight touchdowns against Texas College came overland, and the other two were tallied on interception returns of 38 yards by Adrian Guillory and 56 yards by James Washington. The Cardinals season high for rushing yards last season was 147 in their 14-0 homecoming victory over Langston University, while their low game was a negative 23 yards vs. Sam Houston State. After Saturdays game, the Cardinals will return home to host the University of Incarnate Word at 6 p.m. on Sept 17. Also nicknamed the Cardinals, Incarnate Word opened its season last week with a 31-21 home loss to East Central Oklahoma.
Dallas Ryan keeps up family tradition

IRVING, Texas (AP) Rob Ryan expected to be an NFL head coach by now, just like his twin brother Rex and their father Buddy before them. It didn't work out that way, but Rob's not complaining. He figures the teams that haven't picked him have made a mistake, and that the Dallas Cowboys are lucky to have him as their defensive coordinator. Of course he thinks that. He's a Ryan. Big, loud and proud like Buddy and Rex, Rob also keeps up the family tradition with a variety of innovative, attacking defenses. Another common trait is being his usual, boisterous self when talking to reporters especially this week, with his first game in charge of the Cowboys' defense coming against Rex and the Jets in prime time on Sunday night. "I've been an assistant coach of the year in pro football and in college football, so apparently I'm pretty good," Rob said. "No one else believes it, but they all will after this game." Rob is only 48 and going into his 25th season as a coach, meaning he's spent more than half his life working on the sideline. And the majority of that time has come in the NFL, this being his 14th season. He and Rex broke into the NFL in 1994 as assistant coaches on their dad's staff in Arizona. They were all swept out following the '95 season, and Rob had to work his way back up to the NFL. After a year at a community college, then three more at Oklahoma State, he was hired by Bill Belichick in New England. He was the linebackers coach on two Super Bowl championship teams before becoming the defensive coordinator in Oakland. He spent the last two years coordinating the defense in Cleveland under Belichick disciple Eric Mangini. The Raiders and Browns made big improvements under his watch. With his pedigree, what else would you expect? "(Buddy) brought us in the world of defense and I was fortunate enough to get with Bill Belichick, who's fantastic it's like getting in there with Vince Lombardi," Ryan said.
after an open date. Brown is getting his Longhorns ready to play BYU on Saturday. Of course, those powerhouse teams will be fine no matter what happens. "It seems like there's about five different scenarios out there that everybody thinks are guaranteed to be the case," Brown said. "I've got my hands full with Brigham Young on Saturday night and I know we're in the Big 12 until the end of the year." There is more uncertainty for teams such as Kansas, Kansas State, Baylor and Iowa State should the Big 12 crumble. bBrown acknowledged that he feels sorry for some teams that may be left scrambling if there are changes, but pointed out that last year things were "all over the place" before Texas and Oklahoma decided to stay put. "We were told last year we could join any league in the country we wanted to if it changed. We've been told we could go independent, so there's going to be something really good for Texas at the end of this," Brown said. "Our school will be OK regardless of what happens, and that's not the case for everybody. ... We'll end up where we want to end up." Kansas coach Turner Gill insists he is not too concerned and has confidence in Big 12 leadership, including the presidents and chancellors of the league's schools. "I believe that the Big 12 Conference will be standing strong at some point in time," Gill said. "How it all shakes out, I don't know, but I do have confidence that there will be a Big 12 Conference." Two days after Oklahoma State billionaire booster Boone Pickens said he didn't think the Big 12 will last much longer and believes the Cowboys eventually will end up in the Pac-12, coach Mike Gundy said he hopes that's not necessarily the case. "I would hope that our league could somehow stay together and survive. I guess it doesn't look like that that is going to happen," Gundy said during his weekly availability on the Stillwater campus. "Or maybe somebody could come in because I like the Big 12. I like this part of the country, I like the recruiting aspects of it. I'm not afraid to say that. I like the rivalries that we have in this league."

Dad and daughter disagree about her love for soccer

DEAR ABBY: My dad and I have been arguing over whether I should play soccer. I don't want to because I don't like the coach, the sport or having Dad yell at me for every little mistake I make. He says I'm good at the game and that I love it -- but I DON'T. How do I explain it's just not for me without disappointing him? I feel terrible because I have let him down. -- RATHER BE A CHEERLEADER DEAR RATHER:

Dear Abby
OTCs may be cause of body odor

DEAR DR. GOTT: My son was recently diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) at age 27. He was told he's had it all his life since it's hereditary. He is upset that his newborn son has a 50 percent chance of having it, too. He has been going through a thorough workup to determine a base line, but before he sees his nephrologist again, I thought he might benefit from having independent information to help him. Currently he has enlarged kidneys with many cysts on both and a liver cyst. He has had a
Please don't feel that by not participating in soccer you're letting your father down. Frankly, he has let YOU down. When a parent becomes so emotionally involved with a child's sport activity that
he yells, confuses his role as an enthusiastic and supportive parent with that of the coach, and takes the joy out of the sport for the kid, this is more often than not the result. If you enjoy cheerleading, go for it and don't feel guilty. If you have the vitality and athletic ability, you'll be a star. DEAR ABBY: Just a quick question regarding airline flying etiquette. What would be the proper way to handle a situa-
tion where the flight attendant comes around to serve refreshments and the person next to you is napping? Would it be appropriate to give him a little nudge when the attendant gets to your row, or just order your own and let the person be skipped over? -- UP IN THE AIR IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR UP IN THE AIR: Sometimes it's better to let sleeping dogs lie, and this is one of them.

blood pressure problem since college and has been tired most of his life. A heart murmur was detected when he was young, so he takes antibiotics before dental work. I've heard there are things you can do to help slow down the progression of this disease. I know it is incurable at present, but I
understand that a cure may be possible within his lifetime. I have read that controlling blood pressure is at the top of the list, as well as consuming adequate water and restricting salt and protein in his diet. The long-term problems are difficult for me to talk about, so I hope you will mention them as well has any other possible symptoms and treatments. DEAR READER: Polycystic kidney disease causes the kidneys to develop clusters of cysts (fluid-filled sacs). The cysts are non-cancerous and
can also affect other organs, such as the liver. It varies in severity. The most common sign is high blood pressure. Other signs include kidney stones, kidney failure, headache, frequent urination, urinary tract or kidney infections, back or side pain, an increase in abdomen size and blood in the urine. Polycystic kidney disease is most commonly caused by genetic defects passed from parent to child. Rarely, a spontaneous genetic mutation can occur, causing an individual without a family history to develop the disorder.

Texas A&M enrollment Transportation improvements key for future of rural Texas surpasses 50,000
Special for the Leader COLLEGE STATION Record enrollment exceeding 50,000 for the first time is being reported for Texas A&M University. Enrollment after the first week of classes totals 50,054, for an increase of 925 students over the final figure for the fall semester last year, according to Texas A&Ms Office of Institutional Studies and Planning (OISP). Figures for the 12th class day which will be on Sept. 13 are those required to be reported to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, but the figures are not certified until the 20th class day. The figures normally vary only slightly after the first week, OISP officials note. Texas A&M President R. Bowen Loftin said the record enrollment is not the result of a concerted effort for the university to increase its size but rather reflects the continued increase in the value of a degree from the university. He cited a recent Wall Street Journal article that shows Texas A&M to rank second nationally on the basis of employers satisfaction in hiring graduates of institutions throughout the nation. We are obviously pleased that so many young men and women choose to pursue their education aspirations at Texas A&M University and look forward to serving them in a manner that is consistent with our commitment to offering high-quality education, Loftin stated. As a land-grant institution, we are ever-mindful of being accessible and affordable, while also continuing to elevate our status as one of the nations top public universities. Last fall, with an enrollment of 49,129 on its main campus, Texas A&M was ranked as the sixth largest university in the nation. Texas A&Ms marine-oriented branch campus, Texas A&M University at Galveston, also reports record fall enrollment, currently standing at 2,058, for a gain of 159 students compared to last year. Texas A&M's engineeringoriented campus at Qatar is just starting its fall semester. It had a record 473 students in attendance last fall, representing a 59-student increase. The campus in the Middle East is fully funded by Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development. When including the two branch campuses, total enrollment for Texas A&M stands at a record 52,585 based on the inclusion of Texas A&M University at Qatars 2010 fall enrollment but that is subject to change slightly when this falls TAMUQ figures become available. In any event, the universitys overall figure will likely move it up even higher in the ranks of the countrys largest institutions of higher learning, officials note. Male students on the College Station campus total 26,805, representing 53.6 percent of the overall student body. Texas A&Ms female enrollment, while continuing to trail the number of men at the once all-male institution, totals 23,249. Female enrollment increased this fall by 458, while male enrolment is up by 467. Corps of Cadets membership continues to increase. The corps, in which participation is open to young men and women on a strictly voluntary basis, currently stands at 2,153 cadets, an increase of 184 over the same period last year. The freshman class of 8,271 includes 600 students enrolled in the Blinn TEAM, a program in which students are jointly enrolled at Texas A&M and the Bryan campus of Blinn College. Blinn TEAM students who successfully complete the programs requirements are then eligible to become fulltime students at Texas A&M. Blinn TEAM participation increased by 70 students this year. The number of Hispanic freshmen stands at 1,596, for an increase of 94, and African-American freshmen total 279, an eight-student gain. More than 25 percent of Texas A&Ms freshman class is made up of students who are the first in their families to attend college. Special to The Leader AMARILLO, Texas For rural communities to thrive, a new report concludes, improvements in public transportation have to be part of the picture. The report by the Association of Programs for Rural Independent Living (APRIL) says lawmakers working on a federal transportation bill should seek better coordination between rural and urban transportation systems. It can take 13 or 14 hours for elderly or disabled non-drivers to just visit the doctor, says Jamie Allen, local government services coordinator with the Panhandle Regional Planning Commission, a council of governments representing 26 Texas counties in a 26,000square-mile area. She says one thing, above all, would help. "More money. We need state and federal legislators to realize that transportation doesn't just affect people's individual abilities to get to the doctor or to get to church or to social functions. It affects economic development." The ability to get around affects every facet of a person's life, agrees Billy Altom, APRIL's executive director. Without it, he says, the negative effects can pile up like dominoes. "It's almost a snowball effect sometimes, whenever you look at, 'OK, well, if I lose my ride, then the next, I've lost my job, I've lost my house,' and then you wind up in dire straits." Rural communities need a voice in the next transportation bill, Altom says, adding that only 6 percent of federal transit funding supports rural areas - where 25 percent of Americans live. A common problem is integration of transportation systems, Altom says. Each provider has its own restrictions and routes, many of which don't coordinate with other providers. While transportation options for the elderly poor and people with disabilities exist in most rural areas, getting those services to work together would be more efficient, cut costs and improve accessibility. "It's kind of a hodgepodge of different little providers. You may have Human Services that are providing here, another nonprofit is doing it here. They're not coordinated - yet the monies come from, basically, the same pot of money."
Weather Whys
Special to The Leader Q: Why do tropical storms and hurricanes rotate? A : In the northern hemisphere, hurricanes rotate counterclockwise at incredible speeds, says Brent McRoberts of Texas A&M University. Though we don't think it about it often, at the equator, the Earth is rotating at 1041 miles per hour, he explains. This rotation can affect how objects move through the atmosphere for long distances and is called
Why hurricanes rotate

the Coriolis Force. When a tropical storm first begins to form, a low pressure is created at the center. This pulls all the surrounding thunderstorms towards the center. As they do so, the Coriolis Force pushes them to the right, sideways from the direction they are moving. At this point, a broad rotation has formed. As the tropical storm gets stronger, it pulls harder towards the center and makes the storms rotate faster. Once the storms are rotating fast enough, at least 74 mph, the system becomes a hurricane.

We are thrilled to showcase an artist that is about to explode onto the music scene, said John Hughes, SMG General Manager of Ford Park and Texas Regional Booking Director for SMG. This show is what the SRO Concert Series is all about giving Southeast Texans a first taste of the artists that are catching the world of live music on fire. Bryant is the third artist announced for the SRO Concert Series, along with Hunter Hayes on Oct. 8, and 10 Years on Oct. 19. Those shows are strictly ages 18 and older. Bryant, a native of Honey Grove, Texas, moved to Nashville at age 17 and quickly captured the attention of the fans and music contacts with his on stage charisma and talent. He was even featured in the 2009 documentary, Rock Prophecies, which also featured well known guitarists Carlos Santana, Jeff Beck and Slash. Bryant, 20, is also a well known name among music video-gamers with his song, Who I Am, as it is included in the Guitar Hero 5 video game. In 2007, Bryant was invited to perform at the Crossroads Guitar Festival in Chicago at the request of none other than legendary artist, Eric Clapton. In his short but inspiring career, Bryant has already toured and performed with artists such as Aerosmith, B.B. King, Styx, Vince Gill, Jeff Beck, REO Speedwagon and Joe Bonamassa, among others.

Ford Park introduces SRO with free after-party

By Tommy Mann Jr. The Orange Leader BEAUMONT The time for talking is done. Now it is time to for action, or music to be more precise. SMG, the management company of Ford Park in Beaumont, is holding a special after-party event starting at 9 p.m., following the Spindletop Roller Girls match on Saturday night, to introduce the public to the new concert concept known as SRO or Standing Room Only. The after-party is free and open to all ages. Admission for the Roller Girls match at 7 p.m. is $5-$13. The Ford Park SRO Concert Series officially begins on Friday, Sept. 16, with a performance by Tyler Bryant and The Shakedown. Other events already scheduled include Hunter Hayes on Oct. 8, and 10 Years with special guest Hell or Highwater on Oct. 19. Some events cater to all ages, whereas other concerts will be strictly for ages 18 and older.
Its an alternative venue for area music fans. We plan on bringing in a variety of artists. Its not just rock stuff either. We are looking at blues, jazz and a variety of artists.
John Hughes, General Manager of Ford Park On Saturday night, following the Roller Girls bout, Ford Park is inviting the public to attend the free after-party where they can meet and greet the Roller Girls, as well as see what the SRO hype is all about. Local classic rock band Vintage Thunder will perform a variety of cover songs and original material, plus a DJ will spin tunes while the band is off stage. There will be a full bar, draft beer and a taco bar where guests may purchase items as well. This is something different we are doing here at Ford Park, said John Hughes, General Manager of Ford Park. Its an alternative venue for area music fans. We plan on bringing in a variety of artists. Its not just rock stuff either. We are looking at blues, jazz and a variety of artists. Hughes said the venue is sequestered in the lobby of Ford Arena and will have its own unique atmosphere with curtains, lighting, staging and more. It will hold a capacity of approximately 800 people. Beaumont is off the typical beaten path for some artists, he explained. This just gives the area another venue outlet to book some acts which might not otherwise perform in the Beaumont-area.

Caney Creek quarterback Jake Sweat coughed the ball up to Preston Armstrong at the Panther 20 on the next series and on the very next play, Douglas hooked up with receiver Jordan Harmon on a nice strike along the right side of the end zone from 20 yards out with Harmon making a good catch over a Panther defender, upping the lead to 14-0 with 7:20 in the first. Shea Richards then picked off a Sweat pass at the Panther 28 but the Bears didnt capitalize as Douglas was picked off by Panther Kyle Baird at the Panther 7. After pinning the Panthers deep, punter Feliciano Organes mishandled a punt snap and LC-Ms Ruben Alaniz fell on the ball in the end zone for a touchdown, making it 21-0 with 2:31 in the first. The Bears went up 280 with a perfectly executed screen when Douglas found Sezer over the middle and the sprinter did the rest, running past the Panther secondary for a 57-yard score and upping the cushion to 28-0 on the last play of the first period. Bear defensive back Sean Shehane picked off Sweat at the Bear 47 and returned it to the Panther 24 with 10:42 left in the half. Douglas hit receiver Preston Armstrong on a 23-yard pass play to the Panther 4 that kept the drive alive and Douglas finished it with a 1-yard keeper off right tackle as the Bears led 35-0 with 6:14 in the half.

Pirates rumble past Wildcats

By Steven Pollock
The Orange Leader

VIDOR The Vidor Pirates continue to build
momentum this season improving to a 3-0 start with a convincing 35-7 win over the Kirbyville Wildcats Friday night at Pirate Stadium. The Pirate offense ran wild picking up 401 rushing yards. David Smallwood lead the way covering 118 yards with one touchdown on 17 carries, while David Bollinger was also a standout rushing for 101 yards and a touchdown on just 10 totes. Brentyn Clark had two carries across the goal line with 69 total yards and Montana Quirante contributed a 52 -yard carry for a touchdown. For the Wildcats Decorian Smith picked up 114 yards on the ground on 14 carries, while Red Haywood had 93 yards on 11. Cody Goins managed the offense completed 5-13 passes for 47 yards with a seven yard touchdown pass to Quinton Jackon. The Wildcats chose to receive the opening kickoff and began their drive on their own 32 yard line. They found early success running the ball with (#5) picking up two 20 yard runs. The drive stalled 12 yards short of the end zone when they failed to convert on fourth down. The Pirate's offense took over and marched down the field picking up four first downs and set up a 17 yard touchdown by Brentyn Clark to put the Pirates on the board first. Brandon Clayton made the PAT to
make the score 7-0 with 4:47 left in the first quarter. The Wildcats would respond on the next drive. Red Haywood's 54 yard rush set up a six yard touchdown pass from Cody Goins to Quinton Jacko. Fidencio Rodriguez would make the PAT to tie the game 7-7 with 1:55 left in the first. Neither team seemed to be able to get an advantage on the next few possessions until Vidor's Jimmie Wright brought the quarterback down for a sack on the one yard line. The next play the Wildcats punted out of their own end zone giving the Pirates great field position. The Pirates drive started 20 yards from pay dirt and it only took them two plays to find it. David Bolinger would run it in from six yards out to give the Pirated the lead for good. Brandon Clayton made the PAT to make it 14-7 with 4:29 until the half. The Pirates came out strong in the second half. Montana Quarante broke three takles on his first carry for 18 yards and busted through the line on his second carry for a 52 yd touchdown run. The Pirated lead 20-7 after the PAT failed. The Pirates would soon add a 16 yard score from David Smallwood and a four yard score from Brentyn Clark to coast to the victory. The Pirate defense was touph only allowing 90 yards in the second half and keeping the Wildcats off the scoreboard. Brian Waguespack. We played hard all night and our game-plan worked well.

We played hard and now cant wait for the Wildcats. It is even better the game will be at home. The Cardinals were coming off a sluggish 216 loss to the Vidor Pirates last Saturday. Stump was very intrigued to see how his Cardinals came out against Kelly. I wanted to see us come out focused and I think we were, Stump said. We did some things early on and started to click.

Bridge City opened the games scoring in the same quarter as Hunter Clark rushed for a fiveyard touchdown run. Daniel Faulk knocked home both PATs in the quarter. The Cardinals held the 14-0 lead at the break and took a 20-0 lead in the third only to see the Bulldogs crawl back into the game with a 30 yard run from OShea Kenebrew to make it 207.
