An Orange couple returning home from Boston after two explosions rocked the city Monday afternoon, will cer-tainly be relieved they made it home safely.

Brad and Amanda Britnell were in the airport Tuesday morning on their way back home. According to Brad Brit-nell, the busy airport had tak-en precautions and provided extra armed security.

‘There are people walking around with guns,” said Brad Britnell, of the security people.

However, both he and his wife are less stressed than the day before when two explo-sions occurred at the Boston Marathon which caused three deaths, and more than 140 in-juries while sending the city into chaos. Another explosion occurred at the JFK Library, but authorities were unsure if the incidents were linked.

The blasts downtown near the finish line in Copley Square occurred just before 3:00 p.m. About 23,000 run-ners participated in this year’s Boston Marathon. Nearly two-thirds of them had crossed the finish line by the time the bombs exploded, but thou-sands more were still complet-ing the course.

Amanda Britnell had just finished the marathon about 30 minutes prior to the explo-sion and was in the medical tent receiving treatment for low blood sugar. She was re-ceiving IV treatment when she was suddenly rushed out. She later returned to her hotel with the IV still in her arm.

Brad Britnell was standing about 100 yards from the blast site, waiting on his wife,when the bomb detonated.

“I looked up and saw a cloud from it,” Brad Britnell said.

Witnesses described it as a “flash and then a giant boom.”

A few seconds later there was a second blast nearby.

“At first I was trying to pro-cess what was going on,” he

said. He thought for a few brief

seconds it was part of the cele-bration associated with the

marathon. Patriots’ Day com-memorates the opening shots of the American Revolution, at Concord and Lexington in

1775. For many people it is a day of pride which comes with historical re-enactments, the Boston Marathon, baseball

and a day off for schools and government employees.

Beverly Mire, the grandmother of Kree Harrison, recently went to Los An-geles, Calif. to watch her perform on American Idol.

As the numbers of performers contin-ues to dwindle, Harrison has made it to the top five and is still going strong.

Each contestant sang two songs last Wednesday night. One theme was tunes from the Burt Bacharach/Hal David song book. The other theme was “A Song I Wish I Had Written.”

Harrison put her own spin on “What the World Needs Now Is Love.” She started off somewhat slowly and picked up the pace as the song progressed. She hit some nice, solid notes throughout the performance and seemed relatively confident with the song.

“She did really well,” Mire said. “It was beautiful.”

American Idol judge, Keith Urban,

said he felt Harrison’s “motherliness” when she sang. “You have a real genuine compassion for people,” he said, a “hu-manity” that really came through.

Nicki Minaj agreed, but added that

Harrison’s style was also “hella cocky.”Mire attended the results show too

and was elated when Harrison shared the top two spot with another contes-tant, Candice Glover, of South Caroli-na.

Mire who met all of the contestants on American Idol stated, “they are one big happy family and really love one an-other.”

Following the conclusion of the show, they will go out on tour. Mire said she is happy they get along so well.

Harrison is no stranger to performing before an audience. During her first concert she ever attended, The Doobie Brothers, at eight years old, they called her on stage and she sang “listen to the music” with them. This was the first big crowd she had sang in front of and she knew she was hooked.

Beverly Mire, of Groves, grandmother of Kree Harrison, recently went to watch her granddaughter perform on American Idol.

Orange County Emergency Serivce Districts could face changes on how their board of commissioners is chosen if Senate Bill 1265 passes in the near future.

Currently, members of an emergency services district board are nominated by the

commissioner of their presid-ing precinct and then ap-proved by the commissioners court of the county in which the ESD is located within. The Orange County Commission-ers Court believes that the process for choosing ESD board members should rest upon the people being served within the precincts. C.S.S.B. 1265 changes current statute

to make ESD board members in Orange County elected rather than appointed, accord-ing to the Texas Legislature online.

“Senate Bill 1265 will ensure members of the Emergency Service District (ESD) Board be chosen by the people they serve. Giving Orange County citizens the ability to vote for these important positions is

an excellent example of the democratic process. As you may know, ESDs are taxing en-tities and therefore should be elected, “ said Senator Robert Nichols.

David Roberts, fire chief of the McLewis Fire Department, opposes the changes.

Staff ReportFor The Record

Area investigators remain baffled by the explosive sound in Bridge City shortly after 8 p.m. Monday.

A dispatcher with the Or-ange County Sheriff ’s Office stated officers were searching all over areas of Bridge City and Orangefield.

A Bridge City dispatcher stated it is still under investi-gation as to the cause and where it occurred.

There were also reports of the sound being heard in parts of Groves and Port Ar-thur.

Officials with the The Tex-as Commission on Environ-mental Quality said none of the plants in Orange and Jef-ferson Counties have reported any type of explosion Monday night. However, Motiva En-terprises LLC’s Port Arthur Refinery experienced a plant-wide power failure Sunday as a result of an electrical mal-function at one of its electri-cal provider’s substations. As a result of the power outage, emissions and flaring oc-curred at the 600,000-barrel-a-day refinery’s alkylation unit, and each unit was brought back on line only when it was safe to do so.

Though timing of an impro-vised explosion device (IED) counterterrorism workshop by Homeland Security Wednes-day in Orange County may seem in response of Monday’s bombing of the Boston Mara-thon, it has been in the plan-ning for a year.

Jeff Kelley, director of Or-ange County Emergency Man-agement was reporting details of the planned exercise this week about 15 minutes before the Boston incident happened Monday.

He said response to the workshop was so great; they had to limit the size of the event.

There would be loud “booms” but nothing else, said Kelley. Since the Boston bombings had not happened yet, there wasn’t a concern to make sure the public knew about it.

At press time, local police departments in Bridge City, Port Arthur and Groves, plus the Orange County Sheriff ’s Department were still search-ing for information on an

unexplained explosion that rocked Bridge City Monday night.

The Counterterrorism workshop is being held today at the Orange County Con-vention and Expo Center from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., so the public should not be alarmed if they hear something that sounds like an explosion during those hours.

The class is instructed by the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF). It will enhance the knowledge of law enforce-ment and public/private sector stakeholders by providing ex-posure to key elements of the IED threat, surveillance detec-tion methods, and soft target awareness.

“This workshop illustrates baseline awareness and pre-vention actions that reduce vulnerabilities to counter the threat along with information sharing resources to improve preparedness,” stated Kelley in a press release. “This work-shop utilizes current tactics, techniques, and procedures of IED threats which improve critical infrastructure owners and operators understanding of new IED threats and the ter-rorist attack cycle.”

In other business, commis-sioners signed a resolution requesting Baptist Orange

Hospital to continue offering obstetrics at the Orange facil-ity.

County Judge Carl Thibodeaux said he would be attending a meeting this week with hospital officials, local mayors and other local lead-ers hoping to convince Baptist Hospital Beaumont to reverse its deci-sion.

“It puts expect-ant mothers and unborn children at risk having to travel outside the area for obstetrics,” said Thibodeaux. “It also makes it dif-ficult to attract and retain obstetricians and pedia-tricians to this area to practice medicine.”

The court also issued sev-eral proclamations. April was named as “Sexual Assault and Awareness and Prevention Month” and “Child Abuse Pre-vention Month.”

April 21-27, 2013 was de-clared “National Crime Vic-tims’ Right Week.”

“There is nothing warm and fuzzy about what we do,” said Cindy Fertitta, education coordinator at Rape and Sui-cide Crisis of Southeast Texas. “One in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually as-

saulted in their lifetime.”Kim Hanks, a forensic in-

terviewer at the Garth House for almost 22 years said, “Un-fortunately we have seen al-most 10,000 children come through our doors to be inter-viewed at the Garth House.” She said, “Seventy-five percent

of the mothers we see were also sexu-ally abused.” Hanks said these moth-ers never received any counseling and abuse tends to run through families. “We hope to break that cycle one day.” According to Hanks

about 20 percent of those children interviewed are from Orange County.

Dianne Wright, the ex-ecutive director of Court Ap-pointed Special Advocates As-sociation (CASA) stated there is currently a shortage of vol-unteers.

“When we’re short of vol-unteers, our case managers have to step out of their roles as case managers and act as CASA volunteers and that puts a lot of strain on our or-ganization,” said Wright. “So we really need volunteers.”

She thanked commissioners for their continued support of the organization.

The Stark Museum of Art in Orange, Texas, will host award-winning novelist, play-wright, teacher, and perform-er Denise Chávez in Ultima: A Healer For Our Times, a presentation about Rudolfo Anaya’s novel Bless Me, Ul-tima at 6:30 p.m. on Thurs-day, April 25. Chávez will talk about Anaya’s novel and the relevance of its message in the modern world.

Drawing on her experience as a performer, she also will do a dramatic reading from the book. Chávez will present this program at the Lutcher The-ater, located at 707 W. Main Avenue in Orange, Texas. A book signing and reception with light refreshments will follow at the Museum, located at 712 Green Avenue. Admis-sion to the event is free to the public. For more information, visit www.starkmuseum.org.

“As we grow older and un-derstand what life is about, the character of Ultima reso-nates with us more and more,” says Denise Chávez. “For me, Ultima represents the past generations. Thinking of her, I remember my mother, my aunt, my grandmother. In my presentation, I will explore Rudolfo Anaya’s classic char-acter and the true meaning of her healing power.”

Chávez is one of the lead-ing authors documenting the unique culture of the Mex-ican-American border. Like author Rudolfo Anaya, Chávez draws on the traditions of storytelling and folk dramas in the Hispanic Southwest. Chávez is also the author of many books including, The Last of the Menu Girls, a col-lection of interconnected

coming of age stories.Chávez’s presentation will

be in conjunction with the exhibition Wild Beauty: The New Mexico Setting, which is on view at the Museum through June 8, 2013. Visi-tors to the exhibition will see works by Southwestern artists, such as Ernest Martin Hen-nings, Joseph Henry Sharp, Er-nest Leonard Blumenschein, Nicolai Fechin and Georgia O’Keeffe. To stress the con-nection with the novel, quotes from the book are placed in different sections of the ex-hibition, both in English and in Spanish. The Museum will also provide tours in Spanish upon request. The Museum Store has copies of Anaya’s Bless Me, Ultima and Chávez’s The Last of the Menu Girls for sale.

One week prior to the Chávez presentation, Lutcher Theater and Stark Museum will offer a viewing of the film Bless Me, Ultima (Rated PG-13) on Thursday, April 18, 2013, at 6:30 p.m. to take place at the Theater. This film is a turbulent coming-of-age story about a young boy, Antonio, growing up in New Mexico. When a mysterious curandera (healer) named Ultima comes to live with his family, she teaches him about the power of the spiritual world. Through a series of mysterious events, Antonio must grapple with questions about the nature of divinity and his own destiny. Free general admission tickets for this program are currently available at the Lutcher The-ater Box Office in advance or on the day of the viewing.

The film screening of Bless Me, Ultima and Chávez’s pre-

sentation Ultima: A Healer For Our Times are activities of the Southeast Texas Big Read. The Big Read is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) designed to restore reading to the cen-ter of American culture. For more information about The Big Read activities, visit http://library.lsco.edu/big-read/big-read.asp. Stark Museum of Art and Lutcher Theater are non-recipient partners.

But, Brad Britnell quickly determined it was much more and far worse.

Within a short time, the victims of the blast were brought into the tent for treatment. Amanda Britnell tried to contact her husband. Finally, a text was sent and she learned he was unharmed.

Together they returned to their hotel. Amanda Britnell is no stranger to running.

She finished 16th place in the Gusher half mar-athon in 2013 and won the same marathon in 2012. Her love of running was evident while at Lamar University in 2002-05 as a cross country and distance runner. She continued running and participated in two marathons in Houston before going to Boston.

To be able to participate in the Boston Mara-thon was going to be a “special” event, Brad Britnell said.

During a press conference Tuesday morning, officials said a multi-agency response including state and federal law enforcement agencies had been activated and investigating the cause of the explosions along the Boston Marathon route and elsewhere. Members of the FBI’s Bos-ton Division and Boston Police Department have remained on-scene. The FBI has taken the lead in the investigation. The situation re-mains fluid, and it is still too early to establish the cause and motivation.

The FBI has set-up 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324), prompt #3, for anyone who has in-formation, visual images, and/or details re-garding the explosions along the Boston Mara-thon route and elsewhere. No piece of informa-tion or detail is too small, according to a press release from the FBI.

The bombs that ripped through the crowd at the Boston Marathon, are said to have been were fashioned out of 6-liter pressure cookers and packed with shards of metal, nails and ball bearings to inflict maximum carnage. They were hidden in black duffel bags and left on the ground. However, investigators are unsure what was used to detonate the bombs.

The details on the apparently crude, but deadly explosives emerged as investigators ap-pealed to the public for amateur video and pho-tos that might yield clues.

Richard DesLauriers, FBI chief agent in charge in Boston, vowed during the press con-ference, “we will go to the ends of the Earth” to find those responsible.

Similar pressure-cooker explosives have been used in Afghanistan, India, Nepal and Pakistan, according to a July 2010 intelligence report by the FBI and Homeland Security. Also, one of the three devices used in the May 2010 Times Square attempted bombing was a pres-sure cooker, the report said.

The Pakistani Taliban, which claimed re-sponsibility for the 2010 attempt in Times Square, has denied any role in the Boston Mar-athon attack.

Federal investigators said no one had yet claimed responsibility for the bombings.

DesLauriers also said during the press con-ference, investigators had received “volumi-nous tips” and were interviewing witnesses and analyzing the crime scene.

Boston Governor Deval Patrick added “con-trary to earlier reports, no unexploded bombs were found.”

Investigators concluded the press conference by repeatedly appealing for any video, audio and photos taken by marathon spectators, even images people might not think are significant.

Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis said investigators also gathered a large number of surveillance tapes from businesses in the area and intend to go through the videos frame by frame.

Davis, added authorities had received “no specific intelligence that anything was going to happen” at the race. On Tuesday, he said that two security sweeps of the route had been con-ducted beforehand.

“Our family is safe and we will continue to pray for all the victims,” Brad Britnell said.

Kree Harrison: American IdolFrom Page 1

America if she is going to remain a contestant on the popular FOX network series, American Idol.

Harrison, 22, is a Southeast Texas native, but currently resides in Nashville. In the 8th grade she attended school in Bridge City before relo-cating to Woodville.

Becoming a music star was always on her mind. Harrision went on The Rosie O’Donnell Show at eight years old and returned three more times. Lyric Street Records caught wind of this young talent and signed her at the age of 12. But it was short lived and due to creative differences she ended her relationship with the label.

Harrison had a rough start to her life with the loss of her father in an airplane crash when

she was 12 years old. She was forced to face an-other tragedy when her mother died four years later. The singer took to song writing to express her emotions.

Since her audition for American Idol she has had the judges clamoring for more. It seems like she has definitely made her mark on the fans but will need their votes.

Kree Harrison’s family is thankful for every-one for their support and asking everyone to keep voting for Harrison so she can make it to the end and become the next American Idol.

“People hear she is in the top two, but to keep her there, we need to vote,” Mire said.

The shows airs 7 p.m. Wednesdays on Fox with the results of the voting being 7 p.m. Thursdays.

thing,” Roberts said. ESD 4 already struggles to keep the fire de-

partment afloat. Roberts added, the McLewis and Mauricev-

ille fire departments will merge and together serve as ESD 4. The remainder, Vidor - ESD 1, Bridge City - ESD 2, and Little Cypress -ESD 3 will remain the same.

“It’s hard enough to find someone to do it free,” Roberts said. “New people who have had to pay for their campaign, may have to recoup their money by charging the ESD to attend meetings.”

Becky Buffington, district administrator for ESD 2, said she too is opposed to the bill which is slated to only affect Orange County.

However, Bridge City will be able to afford the costs associated with an election. But, is concerned with smaller districts.

“By statute an ESD commissioner can make up to $3,000 per year,” Buffington said.

In addition, by law the board has to have five members who live within the district, she said.

Another issue Buffington brought to light is the fact the ESD 2 board is mostly made up of former firefighters who have a grasp of what it takes to run a fire department. Those who have not had any training may not realize the costs of fire trucks and equipment.

“We are not for it either,” Buffington said of the bill.

The bill is expected to pass and take effect Sept. 1.

According to Buffington, this would force the ESD to hold an election by the end of the year for the seats.

The bill states, “The changes in law made by this Act do not affect the entitlement of a com-missioner of a board of emergency services commissioners serving on the board immedi-

ately before the effective date of this Act to continue to carry out the board’s functions for the remainder of the commissioner’s term.”

Section B is “This Act does not prohibit a person who is a commissioner on the effective date of this Act and who was appointed under Section 775.034, Health and Safety Code, from running for election to the board if the person has the qualifications required for a member.”

Section C is “A person serving as a member of a board of emergency services commission-ers on the effective date of this Act who was ap-pointed shall continue to serve until the elec-tion and qualification of a new commissioner for that position.”

Furthermore, the bills states, in 2014, “the county judge of a county with an emergency services district shall establish an election to replace a commissioner appointed before the effective date of this Act as near as practicable to the date of the expiration of the appointed commissioner’s term. A commissioner elected under this subsection serves a two-year term but the successor serves a four-year term.”

According to Buffington, the public hearing on the matter has already occurred and all they can do is hope for the best.

TERROR IN BOSTON REAWAKENS WORST FEARSOn Patriots’ Day, the day that marks the beginning of Unit-

ed States independence, at the world famous Boston Mara-thon, two well placed Iraq-style bombs hurled shrapnel, jag-ged glass and ball bearings at marathon runners and onlook-ers. Over 180 people were injured, 17 critically and three killed. My guess is the bombs were the work of domestic ter-rorists, not the sophisticated plastic bombs of foreign terror-ist groups. Like the other attacks, the bombings came as a surprise. How do you protect the 26 mile route of the mara-thon? It’s impossible to safeguard every place people gather. You can’t protect everything all the time. Even places full of weapons are vulnerable. Nidal Hasan proved that when he shot and killed 13 military personnel at Fort Hood. In 1995, the Oklahoma City bombing was done by homegrown ter-rorist Timothy McVeigh, the Atlantic Olympics, in 1998, was by a white supremacist. Since 9-11, the Heritage Foun-dation has counted more than 50 terrorists plots, 42 of them homegrown. We’ve had luck at foiling them. Six years ago, April 16, it was the campus of Virginia Tech. Last July a mov-ie theater in Colorado and in December, an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., and now the finish line of the Boston Marathon. How do we wrap our heads around it. It is incomprehensible. I came up in a country where we feared only our foreign enemies, now we have to fear each other. American crack pots, hell bent on doing harm to America.*****A side bar: Mark Dunn picked up his daughter Jenna and grandchildren, 10 years old Nate and 5 year old Delilah at Houston Hobby Monday. They had arrived from Boston Logan airport. While in flight, the Boston bombing took place. Jenna had passed up a later flight for the early one. Good thing, because Boston was on lock down and they couldn’t have left that day. They will be spending spring break with the Dunn’s and will be joined later by Jenna’s husband Robby for a family reunion in Lafayette of Roy’s Cajun rela-tives. Also at the scene of the bombing in Boston were the Brittnel’s from Orange. Amanda ran in the marathon and Brad was a bystander. Will attacks in our future become in-evitable, a way of life*****Gotta move on. Come along; I prom-ise it won’t do you no harm.

OIL FLOWING--JOBS GROWINGWhen I read a recent report I was reminded of something

our then congressman Kevin Brady had said after the BP oil release in the Gulf. Brady said the restrictions President Obama was putting on oil drillers in the Gulf will kill the oil industry and would cost 50,000 jobs right here in South East Texas. Of course Brady was protecting Big Oil, restrictions cost money to make wells safe. A state of energy report con-tradicts what congressman Brady projected. The industry now employs 976,000 workers in the U.S., 379,800 in Texas, 34,600 of those jobs added after restrictions. National average wage for oil and gas industry workers was $107,206 last year. Texas wages were $128,000 last year. Thirty-nine percent of oil and gas jobs are in Texas. Texas has 11,700 oil and gas businesses. Twenty-eight percent of businesses are based in Texas. Workers in oil and gas extraction earned the highest annualized average wage at $162,200 in 2012. That doesn’t sound like an industry that was going down the tube if re-strictions to prevent oil spills and make wells safer was enact-ed. We are producing more oil and gas ever in our history. Be-ware when a politician hollers wolf.

LIFE’S HEART BREAKSIt’s always so distressing to me when a young person, full of

life, is suddenly, without notice taken from us. I’m told there is no greater hurt than the loss of a child. We were deeply sad-dened to learn of the auto accident that took the life of 16-year-old Blair Nicole Ray last Thursday, April 11. She was the daughter of Lt. Tom Ray Jr., of the Orange County Sheriff ’s Dept. and his former wife, Nichole Landry Sexton. I under-stand she also had lost a son, Tyler, in an auto accident. He was Lt. Ray’s stepson. Blair was from a large, loving family. She was also adored by her classmates and teachers at Port Neches-Groves and her co-workers at Market Basket. ***** Also killed in an auto accident Saturday on IH-10 was Britta-ny Lewis, 20, of Vidor. Four other passengers, ranging in age from 4 to 16 received only minor injuries. It’s life that is so un-certain and can be over so quickly. A constant worry to all parents anytime a youngster is on the road. Our deepest sym-pathies to both families.

CONDOLENCESOur condolences to Margie Stephens and her family on the

death of her dad, Dan Redding, 74, who died Saturday in Winchester, Ky. Dan was retired from the West Orange School District. A native of Kentucky he moved back after the death of his wife, Margie’s mother. Harry and Margie had just returned from Kentucky and his death came sooner than she had expected. Service will be held Thursday in Kentucky.

Dan was a great, nice guy. May he rest in peace.

TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME10 Years Ago-2003

We got to leave here rat now, us. Me, I just hear on da raydio dat dem German was all over Abbeville, dem. Com on, let’s got ourselves outta here.”

“Wait jus’ a minute, Clovis, slow down. Dat’s not Abbev-ille, Looziana no; dat’s Abbeville, France, wat Abbeville in Looziana was name after,” Alcid Thibodaux say.

Boy, everybody say poo-yai, wit’ relief dem, and sat dem-self back down to start de meeting over again.

“I feel so sorry fo dem Frenchman, me. I don’t know what to did,” Harry leBoeuf say.

C’EST TOUTOur girl Kree Harrison, on American Idol, will perform

Wednesday night to make it to the top four. Last week Kree was in the top two. Should she make it through this week, she will reach my prediction when the show started that she would be in the final three. This girl could win it all. She’s had great support from South East Texas. She attended school in Bridge City as an eighth grader and was a member of the Car-dinal Singers. American Idol will visit the Dam B, Woodville area where Kree spent ten years as a child. It is very impor-tant to vote for Kree Wednesday. It could mean her staying in the competition or going home.*****Gold has the worst drop in 30 years. In 2001, gold was $255 an ounce and had gone as high as $1,900 an ounce in 2011. Silver got tarnished as well, falling to $23.36 an ounce. Rumors swirled about what caused gold to tumble, from selling by the Central Bank of Cyprus to a seller dumping 53,000 gold futures. Each future is worth 100 ounces of gold. Traders worry that other European coun-tries might start dumping their gold reserves.*****You don’t want to miss next week’s issue of the Penny or County Re-cord.  This newspaper will be great one.

CRIMINAL LAW • WILLS • PROBATE

by Pearl Burgess

(Dedicated to all the West Orange High School Chiefs)

Have you seen the purple all over town?The Chiefs are coming from all around,

A Pow Wow is planned under the big oak treesA gathering of the tribe that will surely please.

We’ll turn the pages of our sacred Totem PoleAnd laugh how we’ve gone from the young to the old,We’ll remember our teachers, classmates, and friends

And tell each other stories and laugh to the end.

We’ll honor the fallen with a silent prayerBut know in our hearts they’ll always be there,

We’ll proudly chant, “Go, Chiefs, Fight!”That led us to victory on a Friday night.

We’ll drift back in time to those exciting yearsWhen life was so carefree without many fears,

We’ll cherish the memories with tears in our eyesKnowing our Chief’s Purple Pride will never die.

THE RECORD B‘THE RECORD’ HOMETOWN HIGHLIGHTS

The wind was blowing a little harder out of the south than I would have liked when I lowered the troll motor over the bow. After asking my clients whether they preferred a casting or spinning combination I handed each of them a rod with a five inch tail tied on the business end and returned to the front deck.

Much to my surprise they just stood there look-ing as though I had armed them with a Snoopy combo. “Are all of these reels filled with mono or fluorocarbon,” the Dad asked dejectedly as his son put his rod back in the rack and stowed away his jacket. “We don’t fish with anything but braid.”

Neither do I for the most part, but I am gen-erally reluctant to hand a client a reel filled with braid that opted to fish with my rods rather than his own. As sold as I am on the benefits of using braid it is not exactly user-friendly for folks that don’t fish a lot. While I am convinced that braided line affords the user a decided edge it can also be counter-pro-ductive if every other cast results in a back-lash!

Do not think for one second that line prob-lems cannot be a show-stopper. It can be ev-erything from a line that is too heavy for the application to a spool of line with too much memory to even cast. In this instance, as my clients quickly pointed out, fishing with mono felt like fishing with a rubber band after fish-ing only braid for a long period of time and

4B • The Record • Week of Wednesday, April 17, 2013

If you are like me you have had enough of this wind, good-ness it has blown like nobody’s business and just keeps right on ripping. In nor-mal years we would have just chalked this up to a normal spring, this year has been a little bit different. The abso-lutely amazing fishing that we have enjoyed on Sabine and Calcasieu for the first several months of the year were al-most unprecedented, it was downright incredible at times. The combination of willing fish and cool spring tempera-tures early in the year only spoiled us, we were all living a dream and nobody in their right mind wanted to wake up.

Well that nasty sound you keep hearing is not the snooze alarm, it’s the wind roaring

through the trees and tearing up the bay just in time for fish-ing to get really good. Hope-fully we have seen the worst

of the wind and the summer months ahead will bring calmer seas and more fishable days.

For many of us the upcoming summer months mean dif-ferent things when it comes to the sport of

fishing. There are those who can only dream of clean blue prop wash, flat seas at dawn, and an endless expanse of gulf as far as the eye can see. For others the thought of rushing into the bay amid the sounds of working birds and fleeing bait gets their heart pumping in anticipation of hungry trout and redfish by the bunch.

Still others look forward to the quiet solitude of anchoring up on their favorite “hole” with a live well full of fresh bait, a cooler full of cold drinks, and their best buddy in the seat

next to them. All of the above sound inviting and each group would be hard pressed to change their tactics because in their world their pattern or mode is just right and that’s what summer fishing is all about.

On each end of the fishing spectrum there are two dif-ferent types of anglers with one common goal, they just go about achieving that goal in different ways. Both groups enjoy the sport and all that comes along with it, they just apply varying methods. On one end you have the high profile folks who attack their sport with a passion that bor-ders on obsession.

Tournament anglers fit into this category since they know no boundaries when it comes to chasing their favorite fish. These folks study charts, maps, and graphs like a stu-dent trying to earn a degree. In a very short time these “ma-

The object of the game of golf is to hit the little white ball into the hole on the green. But, because some of the holes are 400 or even 500 yards away from the tee box where you start the hole, a pin is placed in that hole so the golfer can see from a distance at what’s he’s aiming.

As each golfer im-proves with expe-rience, aiming the ball at the pin and hitting it with a golf club becomes easier and almost routine. And the most tal-ented golfers in the world—those who are on the Pro Golf Tour—can usually chip the ball real close to the pin.

Tiger Woods is the No. 1 ranked golfer in the world. And he fires the ball at the pin with precise accuracy. In fact, when he was tied for the lead in Friday’s second round, his third shot on a long Par-5 No-15 hole was so much on line that it hit the flagstick on the fly from around 100 yards away from the green.

That’s quite an accomplish-ment for any golfer. However, Tiger’s shot that was 100 per cent accurate to his target car-omed off the flagstick and into the water that was adjacent to the green.

So instead of the ball land-ing just a couple of feet from the hole for an easy birdie 4, because the ball went into the water, Tiger received a one-stroke penalty.

Now he had an option to either hit his fifth shot from a specially-marked drop zone, or drop the ball on a

line between himself and the hole from where the ball last crossed the margin of the haz-ard or drop another golf ball from the original spot where he hit the ball that caromed off the pin and splashed into the pond.

He didn’t have the second option because the ball didn’t ricochet back toward him so Tiger chose the latter, but to insure that he wouldn’t hit the flagstick again, he dropped the ball back two yards and hit

it within two feet of the hole for an easy bogey-6.

A viewer called Augusta National and said Tiger broke PGA Rule 26-1 that states if a player chooses to go back to his original spot,

the ball should be dropped as “nearly as possible” to the spot where it was last played.

What amazes me is that any viewer from off the street can call this PGA Hotline and re-port an infraction. Can you imagine football, baseball, basketball or hockey having a similar hotline for fans that spot a blown call or a no-call by a game official while watch-ing it on television?

“The Rules Committee re-viewed a video of the shot while Woods was playing the 18th hole,” Fred Ridley, the competition committee chair-man said in a statement. “At that moment and based on that evidence, the Committee determined Tiger had com-plied with the rules.”

However, Woods later ad-mitted in media interviews that he had played the shot two yards behind the original spot. The Rules of Golf allow a player to hit from the original spot.

The fact Tiger admitted to

dropping the ball two yards farther back caused an explo-sion on social media networks, according to Foxsports.com and prompted a further review by the Masters.

The Masters officials spoke to Woods early Saturday morning and accessed him and two-stroke penalty, actu-ally giving him a net 8 on Hole No. 15. Tiger evidently broke the rule and deserved the pen-alty at the time, not almost 16 hours later. So technically, Woods signed an incorrect scorecard and should have been disqualified.

Ridley cited a two-year-old rule that allows penalty strokes to be added to a play-er’s score after a round, if facts were not reasonably presented at the time the scorecard was signed. “It would have been grossly unfair to disqualify Ti-ger,” Ridley said.

“I really wasn’t even think-ing,” Tiger admitted. “I was still a little ticked at what happened. All I was think-ing about was trying to make sure I took some yardage off my next shot. Evidently, it was pretty obvious I didn’t drop it in the right spot.”

I’m not siding with Tiger for breaking one of the many new rules the Golf Commit-tee dreams up in their spare time, because no matter what occupation one chooses, as an employee it is his or her duty to keep up with the company’s policy changes and adhere to them.

But all this wouldn’t have happened if Tiger’s origi-nal third shot on hole No. 15 was a foot shorter and didn’t hit the flagstick. And there was a darned good chance he might have at least been it that playoff with eventual winner Adam Scott and runner-up Angel Cabrera or maybe even

won the 2013 Masters.But as it stands today, Scott

became the first Masters champion from Australia and Tiger extended his drought at Augusta National to eight years, his winless streak in the major tourneys to 19 and fin-ished in a tie for fourth place with Marc Leishman and won $352,000 instead of that pres-tigious green jacket.

K W I C K I E S … O r a n g e ’ s Marathon Man Kenny Ruane ran in last Saturday’s Bellaire Trolley 5K Run in Houston and won his age division (70-75 years) by several minutes. Ken estimated there were around 1,000 runners in the event and posted a time of 21:34. “That was the best time I’ve run in over a year,” Ruane bubbled. He made it back to Orange in time to catch our threesome at Sunset Grove Country Club teeing off on Hole 16 and managed to lose two skins to yours truly over those last three holes.

The Houston Astros seem to play much better on the road than at Minute Maid Park, splitting six games with the Seattle Mariners and the Los Angeles Angels and scor-ing bunches of runs in the pro-cess. The road trip concludes after the series at first-place Oakland that began Monday night.

Congrats to the Houston Rockets for making it to the

NBA Playoffs that will start next week after missing them for the last three seasons. The Rockets stood in a tie for the sixth seed after their 121-100 victory over the Sacramento Kings Sunday in their final regular-season home game of the season. Houston can clinch sixth place with victo-ries at Phoenix Monday night and against the Lakers in LA today (Wed.) or receive a little help from some other teams.

Lumberton native Clay Bu-chholz narrowly missed pitch-ing another no-hitter Sunday as the Boston red Sox blanked Tampa Bay 5-0. The 27-year old right-hander lost his bid for the no-hitter when he gave up a broken-bat single to Kelly Johnson leading off the eighth inning. He allowed two hits in eight innings and upped his season’s record with the Bosox to 3-0 for the young season. Buchholz threw a no-hitter in his second-ever start for Bos-ton on Sept. 1, 2007.

The Lamar baseball team took two-of-three from the Sam Houston Bearkats last weekend at Vincent-Beck Field in Beaumont, winning the rubber game 5-1 Sunday be-hind the nine-inning, route-going performance by starting pitcher Eric Harrington. It was the second straight series win for the Redbirds, who evened their Southland Conference record to 6-6 for the year and

26-11 overall. The Cards host UT-San Antonio today (Wed.) at Vincent-Beck and then swing back into SLC action with a three-game series at Northwestern Louisiana that begins Friday.

The Lamar Lady Cardinals softball team also took two-of-three Southland Confer-ence games from Southeastern Louisiana, winning the decid-ing game 5-4 Sunday. The Lady Cards are in third place in the SLC and swing back into action today at 6 p.m. against Texas Southern in Beaumont.

JUST BETWEEN US…We rented the movie “To Hell and Back” which starred Audie Murphy, who played himself in his autobiography, and got so much more meaning from it than when I watched it as a dumb teenager many years ago. After visiting the battle-field earlier this month where Lt. Murphy’s platoon of 40 men were fighting some 300 German soldiers at the Alsace region of France near the Ger-man border, the movie made a lot more sense to me. The biggest difference between the movie’s version of the battle where Murphy turned back the entire German regiment single-handedly is that it de-picted summertime, when the actual battle took place during the winter in about a foot of snow with temperatures hov-ering around zero.

they were right.I miss fewer fish on topwaters when fishing

mono simply because the stretch factor pre-vents me from taking the bait away from the fish too quickly on the hook set, but I would rather compensate with a lighter action rod and stick with braid if I had to make a choice. I be-lieve that braid is truly a difference maker and is well worth the minimal inconvenience of an occasional wind knot or backlash.

The only anglers that I fish with that have not switched to braid gave up after fishing the first braids available just as I did for too long. The early braid wedged down in the spool after every hang up and backlashes were all but im-possible to free up. That is not the case today as the shape of the line is different and most of the higher end stuff has a coating that makes it even slicker.

If there is any negative for the weekend an-gler it is the cost as braided line is not cheap. You can extend the life by reversing it on the spool at some point, but a really bad backlash can be expensive!

If you find yourself still on the fence as far as giving braid one more shot, ask anyone that now uses only braid why they use it. I have never talked with or fished with another braid fisherman that isn’t convinced that it enables them to detect more bites and more bites equal more fish. Fishing is a blast, but catching is

even more fun!I wish I could point you toward the best

brand of braid to fish as experimenting can be a little pricey, but I have tried nearly everything out there at one time or another and I am still open to trying the latest and the greatest. To date, I trust and have had very good service out of both Power Pro and Fins Wind Tamer. They don’t feel remotely alike to the touch, but they both cast extremely well and develop little or no memory.

And, while on the subject of backlashes with any type of line, you can significantly minimize that nuisance with a product called Line & Lure line conditioner. It is the real deal and works as well on mono or fluorocarbon as it does on braid.“No…they are not a sponsor of mine and up until last week I relied on a friend to periodi-cally pick me up a bottle at Tackle Unlimited in Houston.”

Eric Ronning over at Daley’s said they are now carrying both the fresh and saltwater ver-sions so I will no longer have to ration my lim-ited supply. The bonus, as Steve Osborne would point out in a heartbeat, is that the spray is also the ultimate solution for quickly cleaning the lenses on your sunglasses and depth finder screens.

It doesn’t, however, work well as a fish attrac-tant for soft plastics. I recently discovered too late that a client had gone through half a bottle

before I could point him to the bottle contain-ing the Bang scent. It didn’t help him catch any fish, but his plastic tails were clean and shiny!

We enjoyed two days last week with lighter winds and the fish turned right back on. The open lake was much clearer than I would have ever thought and we found trout and redfish chasing both ribbon fish and small shrimp to the surface. We have been doing well with tails, but I ran across three different groups all fish-

ing the new VuDu shrimp under a cork and they too were doing well on both trout and slot reds.

I haven’t fished them as much as I intend to thus far, but they look real enough to eat and they are durable. Two of the groups were fish-ing them under a cork while the anglers in one boat were swimming them with a small split shot.I think they are also a little hard to even find right now!

chines” made to look like humans can decipher nearly any body of water and know it as good or better than the locals, it’s amaz-ing how good some of these folks are.

Case in point, the anglers who fish the high profile redfish and trout tournaments are easily some of the best anglers who ever fired up an outboard. The lengths these guys go to in order to pattern fish in new locations is nothing short of mind bog-gling, I am continually amazed at how they consistently find fish on foreign water. These guys are good and they prove it at every tournament.

Now that we are closing in on the month of May there will be plenty of different programs to choose from and all of them will produce at times. I really like the fact that now there will be so many places to fish that the crowds tend to scatter out. Yes there will be a pile of folks on the jetty but that’s not always bad, especially if you are running past them towards a flat Gulf of Mexico. Every stretch of water in our area will have some-thing to offer as the summer months ahead grow closer every day. From the marshes to the gulf, take your pick and enjoy the whole thing.

Also don’t forget to take the kids, school days left in this year are getting shorter and the best fishing companion you could ever hope for will be chomping at the bit to get out on the water and have some fun.
