The holiday season is upon us. And just as we prepare for Black  Friday, Cyber  Monday, and visiting the malls and shopping centers, thieves are also preparing to shop . . . . . in your vehicle.

The Texas Auto Burglary and Theft Prevention Authori-ty (ABTPA), a division of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, reminds drivers that a vehicle is burglarized every two minutes and stolen every eight minutes in the state.  These crimes can escalate dur-ing the holiday season when drivers frequently shop for gifts and travel to visit friends and family.  During these times, drivers are more likely

to leave belongings within view inside vehicles.  The hustle and bustle of the season may also cause drivers to become negli-gent in locking doors and tak-ing keys. To make matters worse, a thief won’t necessarily stop with taking your vehicle and the things inside.  They may also look for personal doc-uments and items that can help them steal your identity or gain access to your home, where

It got a little crazy at the American Legion Post 49 in Orange, Saturday as nine teams of three adults raced on tricycles around the hall, vy-ing for the chance to be the first champion of what will be-come an annual event.

Debbie McGalin won the top honor after several hard fought battles that included thrills, spills and lots of laugh-ter.

Dani Eaves came in second.Betty Frederick, who came

in third was clearly the most enthusiastic racer of the day, hooping, hollering and high-fiving the crowd when she won her first to heats.

Debra Courvelle, organizer for the event, announced af-terward the event raised $1,342 to help Blue Santa buy toys to give to area families in need.

They also collected were two tubs full of non perishable food items that will be donat-ed to Orange Christian Ser-vices.

Blue Santa provides a merri-er Christmas for around 350 Orange County youngsters each year. Deputy John Badeaux, organizer for the Or-ange County Sheriff ’s Depart-ment’s Blue Santa program, said this year, requests includ-

In May, 2015 Elva Richardson will celebrate a century of life. Richardson started his life as a man when he turned 13 and his father was killed in a timber accident. He took on the challenge of becoming the man of the family by working at any job he could find. Possessed with an above average mechanical ability for a young man, he built a car from salvaged and scavenged parts when he was only 14 years old.

Jobs were scarce in the depression years and he was lucky enough to become part of the Works Progress Administration, or as it was known, the WPA. Richardson worked as the driver of a two and a half ton truck, called a “duce and a half”. He hauled bridge timbers and “mess cans”. The cans were the lunches for the workers and often when he delivered his load, he was given the utensils for serving and helped the cooks serve the food.

In 1940 he and a friend went to Leesville where the large army camp was being built. The two young men hoped to find work. When they got there they were told that there were more men than there was work. “A man told us that if we went to Orange there was a ship-

County discusses proposed Vidor loop TRZ

It started to get a little heat-ed Monday in the Orange County Comssioners Court-room during the public hearing regarding the creation of one or more Transportation Rein-vestment Zones (TRZ). It is in conjunction with the proposed 299 Loop in Vidor. There are people on both sides of the coin and a couple of them almost got ejected from the meeting.

Duane Gordy with the Com-munity Development Educa-tion Foundation was on hand with maps of the proposed zones and to answer any ques-tions commissioners and citi-zens had on the matter. He ex-plained the TRZ needs to be in place to capture reinvestment

opportunities that will arise from the de-velopment of the new road.

“They have to be there in advance of growth, or you don’t cap-ture anything.

There have already been three projects identified that make this necessary. It doesn’t have to be about the one project. The zones can be used to facili-tate more than this transporta-tion project,” said Gordy. “This is about the ability to capture revenue growth in advance of it happening, so Orange County can now put dollars aside to meet those transportation im-pacted needs.”

County Judge Carl Thibodeaux, said his objection was the county being required to front the $40 million to pay for it and the county was in no

position to do that.“Nobody in the court is

against the loop,” said Thibodeaux. He just said the county wasn’t in a position to

pay for it.Gordy said he did not see

that happening. “At this point, we don’t believe there is going to be a financial institute that

is going to require that guaran-tee,” said Gordy.

According to Gordy, if the language is drafted correctly in the original paperwork of the proposed regional mobility au-thority (RMA) the county would not be liable. A RMA is a political subdivision formed by one or more counties to fi-nance, acquire, design, con-struct, operate, maintain, ex-pand or extend transportation projects.

Gordy said the RMA is re-sponsible for acquiring the fi-nancing and with other proj-ects he has worked with, he im-plied the downside really dosen’t exist. He said there has never been a project that did not experience economic growth.

Commissioner Precinct 1 David Dubose said from the numbers Gordy supplied he didn’t see how it would be payed for otherwise. From the numbers commissioners re-cieved it appeared to Dubose the county would be assuming a short fall of 1.5 million every year till year 18.

The Mayflower brought the group of English settlers now known as the Pilgrims to North America. Leaving England in the fall of 1620, the Pilgrims were attempting to land near the mouth of the Hudson Riv-er, but instead ended up in Cape Cod Har-bor.

Plymouth, the colony established there by the Pilgrims in 1621, became the first permanent European settlement in New England. The story of the Pilgrims and their harvest feast has since become one of best-known in American history, but you may not know it as well as you think. Dis-cover the facts behind these well-known Thanksgiving myths as provided by the History Channel online.

• MYTH: THE FIRST THANKSGIV-ING WAS IN 1621 AND THE PILGRIMS CELEBRATED IT EVERY YEAR THEREAFTER.

Fact: The first feast wasn’t repeated, so it wasn’t the beginning of a tradition. In fact, the colonists didn’t even call the day Thanksgiving. To them, a thanksgiving was a religious holiday in which they would go to church and thank God for a specific event, such as the winning of a battle. On such a religious day, the types of recre-ational activities that the pilgrims and Wampanoag Indians participated in dur-ing the 1621 harvest feast–dancing, sing-ing secular songs, playing games–wouldn’t have been allowed. The feast was a secular celebration, so it never would have been considered a thanksgiving in the pilgrims minds.

• MYTH: THE ORIGINAL THANKS-GIVING FEAST TOOK PLACE ON THE FOURTH THURSDAY OF NOVEMBER.

Fact: The original feast in 1621 occurred sometime between September 21 and No-vember 11. Unlike our modern holiday, it was three days long. The event was based on English harvest festivals, which tradi-tionally occurred around the 29th of Sep-tember. After that first harvest was com-pleted by the Plymouth colonists, Gov. William Bradford proclaimed a day of thanksgiving and prayer, shared by all the colonists and neighboring Indians. In 1623 a day of fasting and prayer during a period of drought was changed to one of thanks-giving because the rain came during the prayers. Gradually the custom prevailed in New England of annually celebrating thanksgiving after the harvest.

During the American Revolution a year-ly day of national thanksgiving was sug-gested by the Continental Congress. In 1817 New York State adopted Thanksgiv-ing Day as an annual custom, and by the middle of the 19th century many other states had done the same. In 1863 Presi-dentAbraham Lincoln appointed a day of thanksgiving as the last Thursday in No-vember, which he may have correlated it with the November 21, 1621, anchoring of the Mayflower at Cape Cod. Since then, each president has issued a Thanksgiving Day proclamation. President Franklin D. Rooseveltset the date for Thanksgiving to the fourth Thursday of November in 1939 (approved by Congress in 1941.)

• MYTH: THE PILGRIMS WORE ONLY BLACK AND WHITE CLOTH-ING. THEY HAD BUCKLES ON THEIR HATS, GARMENTS, AND SHOES.

Fact: Buckles did not come into fashion until later in the seventeenth century and black and white were commonly worn only on Sunday and formal occasions. Women typically dressed in red, earthy green, brown, blue, violet, and gray, while men wore clothing in white, beige, black, earthy green, and brown.

• MYTH: THE PILGRIMS BROUGHT FURNITURE WITH THEM ON THE MAYFLOWER.

Fact: The only furniture that the pil-grims brought on the Mayflower was chests and boxes. They constructed wood-en furniture once they settled in Plym-outh.

• MYTH: THE MAYFLOWER WAS HEADED FOR VIRGINIA, BUT DUE TO A NAVIGATIONAL MISTAKE IT ENDED UP IN CAPE COD MASSA-CHUSETTS.

Fact: The Pilgrims were in fact planning to settle in Virginia, but not the modern-day state of Virginia. They were part of the Virginia Company, which had the rights to most of the eastern seaboard of the U.S. The pilgrims had intended to go to the Hudson River region in New York State, which would have been considered “North-ern Virginia,” but they landed in Cape Cod instead. Treacherous seas prevented them from venturing further south.

That America should choose to take a Thurs-

day afternoon and gather to-gether with family and friends to share a meal that is a trib-ute to one first shared nearly 400 years ago says much about our continuing values. Ameri-ca was not born on July 4, 1776- on that day we were simply declaring our adult-hood. America was born over the summer of 1621 in the kindness of the Wampanaug People towards the European settlers.

What the Native American people were already facing even before the first thanks-giving was a crime being com-mitted in the open. The tale crafted to seize the land of these people was that Native Americans were too wild and violent to live among civilized people. The untruthful por-trayal of Native Americans as savages became so much a part of our country’s culture. We know the untruth behind the image and we also know

the damage it’s doing to Na-tive American children.

In Germany, it’s a crime to deny what happened to the Jewish community. In the face of centuries of this lie, genera-

tions of Native Americans have kept alive their faith and their spirit of kindness, saying much about the enduring strength their culture holds. We should be thankful to live

in a country that has had so many successes that we can admit our mistakes. It’s long past time to be honest about this one.

What happened over the summer of 1621, the incredi-ble kindness of the Wam-panaug people in the face of what they already knew was coming, is an act of humanity so Bright that it still shines for centuries later. To this day we all live in the resonance of their kindness, and that is re-ally something to give thanks for. Let’s all work to share the same spirit of kindness with all people.

We at A-1 Peterson Plumbing say “Thank You” for your support of our family and ourbusiness for over 46 years and we sincerely hope you enjoy your holidays,

ed 96 for bicycles.“You’d be surprised at the

families that come in,” said Badeaux.

He said all one mother of a two month old requested was formula, diapers and a diaper bag.

“She asked for that, nothing else but that, for that baby. That’s the ones we are reaching with this program. I guarantee you she will get that, in tre-mendous amounts, but that baby will get new toys. This comes from our hearts; and your hearts. That’s the kind of families we are helping,” Badeaux said.

Toys purchased will be dis-tributed to families mid De-cember.

they can burglarize additional property.  In other words, the theft or burglary of your vehi-cle may simply be a gateway to the commission of additional crimes.

“Auto burglars are more like-ly to scout malls, shopping cen-ters, entertainment venues, ho-tels, and other business park-ing lots this time of year look-ing for opportunities to break into vehicles,” said Michelle Lanham, program coordinator for ABTPA’s Reduce Auto Theft in Texas (RATT) public aware-ness task force at Denton Police Department.  “Drivers need to understand that almost any-thing they leave inside their ve-hicles can be valuable to a thief. 

And when vehicles are left un-locked and unattended, drivers are inviting thieves to walk away with everything they see inside, which often includes gifts, purses, wallets, packages, electronics, suitcases, garage door openers,  keys, and per-sonal information.”

According to the Texas De-partment of Public Safety, thieves committed 214,294 acts of vehicle burglary and stole 65,671 vehicles in Texas during 2013.  In some jurisdic-tions, more than half of the ve-hicles stolen had unlocked doors and keys left inside.  But drivers can avoid becoming

part of these statistics.  The ABTPA and its 29 vehicle crime task forces in Texas promote a basic vehicle crime prevention philosophy:  “Protect It, It’s Yours.”  Motorists should prac-tice three basic safety tips to help prevent theft and burglary during the holidays and throughout the year:  remove belongings from view, secure vehicles, and never leave keys inside.  In addition to practic-ing these prevention methodol-ogies, drivers should park in areas that are well-lit, near sur-veillance cameras (if available), and near heavy foot and vehicle traffic. The more thieves feel

threatened by detection, the less likely they are to focus on targets in such areas.

Gordy said those numbers were gathered around three years ago when it was just being looked at as a pass through toll.

“Since then we’ve learned of more growth and development that might be more readily available,” said Gordy.

He implied there is potential industrial growth with the devel-opment of infrastructure in that area.

“I’m all for a 299 Loop, I’m not for the county paying $40 million to pay for a loop,” said Dubose.

Some citizens of Vidor were concerned the loop would just have businesses relocating out of the city and moving north, while Jim-my Smith, a Vidor realtor said Vidor is experiencing a boom and he foresees 20,000 people moving into the area. He said some of the property along the proposed loop would become high dollar waterfront property which would bring many tax dollars into the county and be very positive for Orange County.

There is much discussion to continue. The public has 30 days from the public hearing to voice there opinions. Maps of the pro-posed Transportation Reinvestment Zones are on display in the Commissioners Courtroom and at the office of Commissioner Precinct 4 Jody Crump.

 A TIME FOR GIVING THANKS

It’s come on Thanksgiving time and we certainly have plenty to be thankful for. It looks like Thanksgiving time I remember as a boy with the changing of the leaves. It’s not New England but I still appreciate the bright colors, even on the Tallow trees, Oaks, etc. I hope you all get to enjoy a nice day with your families. This year, for the first time, too many of our tribe are away and can’t get home. On a personal note, I’m very thankful for the many years of loyalty so many of you have shown for this column. We may not always be on the same page but your readership has kept this column the most read in our trade area and that makes all the long hours spent worth the time.***** My heart is heavy today be-cause of the illness of so many personal friends. Don Harmon, one of the greatest persons I know is back in the hospital as I write this. He has been transferred to Beaumont and is undergoing sur-gery to relieve fluid on his brain. Don has always been a benefac-tor to anyone in need. He’s full of goodness. He and brother Corky have been partners for 57 years and Don’s illness is weighing heavy on him. We pray for the best.***Our prayers go out to May-or Don Peters, who is very ill also. He has been in the hospital but is home now. He’s fighting a tough battle. Our thoughts are with him.***Attorney Lynwood Sanders is recouping at Harbor Hos-pice after having his leg amputated. I hear he’s improving every day. We wish him the best.***We are glad to report that our buddy and sweetheart Ms. Pearl Burgess, 94, is on the mend. She has been facing several health problems that would have defeated most normal people. Not Ms. Pearl. She’s 98 pounds of toughness and a thousand pounds of optimism and positive attitude. She is publishing a Thanksgiving poem this week and we’re grateful to her for that.*****If we enjoy good health we are truly blessed. Give thanks and pray for those who are under the weather. I’d best get going. Please come along, I promise it won’t do you no harm.

PASS A BILL

The United States Senate, after several months of negotiating, came up with an immigration bill that both sides and the Presi-dent agreed on. Once and for all, it would fix the long standing immigration problem. The bill passed the Senate with bi-partisan support of 68 senators. The Senate sent the bill to the Congress expecting a quick vote. That was seventeen months ago. Speaker John Boehner, being held hostage by his Tea Party members, has refused to bring the bill up for a vote. Senate members pleaded with him to just let the Congress vote. Sen. John McCain called it the best bill we could ever hope to have. Others said, “Shame on the Congress if they don’t take up this bill.” Several months ago President Obama warned if the Congress didn’t pass a bill before the end of the year he would take executive action. Congress ig-nored him and more or less dared him to do it. I said at the time that if Obama did pass his executive action, you would hear the Republicans squeal. On Thursday, President Obama unveiled a landmark plan that includes more border security, rounding up criminals and protecting four million immigrants with families, who have been in the country five years, from deportation. Repub-licans can’t agree on their course of action. FOX News and talk ra-dio are spinning everything from the President’s lawlessness to impeachment. Other Republican Senators are saying shame on the Congress for not passing a bill. Some FOX News talking heads are making a big deal out of Obama, saying he wasn’t a king or emperor, only the Congress could grant citizenship. It’s apples and oranges. They claim he was referring to amnesty and citizen-ship and that’s not what he did last week. He granted three year green cards. That is not set in stone. The Congress or the next president can change it. But it’s a good starting point. The craziest thing I’ve heard said was on the Chris Wallace show Sunday, on FOX. Sen. Ted Cruz suggested paralyzing the country. “Don’t ap-prove anything, don’t approve nominations or any funding that doesn’t affect national security. In other words, they would sit on their hands and not approve anything.   That’s exactly what the Congress has done for the last six years. The American people said they wanted the Congress to function. They want the Repub-lican Senate to govern. Next year, 24 senate seats are up for the GOP, several in purple states. Democrats only have two seats in purple states. They only need four to take over the Senate and Mitch will only get two years. He will want to accomplish things not just obstruct. As far as the President’s plan being legal, you can book it. There are a lot of things people may not like about the President but he’s not stupid. Obama’s proposal on family values sounds perfectly reasonable and consistent with whatever previ-ous presidents, Democrat or Republican alike, have done. It would become irrelevant if Congress finally got to work and passed a bill on immigration reform that would offer a more permanent solu-tion. Quit squealing. It’s simple, PASS A BILL.

PERRY INDICTMENTS NOT DISMISSED

Gov. Rick Perry lost his bid to dismiss indictment charges. Judge Richardson over ruled the governor’s technical objections to special prosecutor Michael McCrum. Perry’s legal team im-mediately hung its hope that the case against Perry violates his constitutional rights. Lawyer Anthony Buzbee said, “We are con-fident we will ultimately prevail and expect a favorable ruling by the end of November.” I have no doubt somewhere down the line somebody is going to save Perry; I also believe that if he is tried, he will be convicted. If he is like Tom DeLay then they will find a

Republican appellate court to turn him loose. He is facing five to 99 years but will never serve a day. This ruling by Judge Richard-son gives him some breathing room, then it won’t look so bad if he rules for Perry on the two felony charges. Perry, running for pres-ident, is a great way for him to raise millions, spend some and keep the rest, enough to afford appealing to the Supreme Court if need be.

A FEW HAPPENINGS

Officer Darren Wilson, a Ferguson, Missouri policeman, who’s father Jerry Wilson lives in Orange, will not face state criminal charges in the killing of Michael Brown.The 18-year-old who was 6 foot, 5 inches and weighted 240 pounds. Here‘s all I’m going to say about that. First, Brown disobeyed the officer; secondly, any-time a citizen strikes a peace officer and if the officer fears for his life there will be consequences. Remember, a peace officer puts his life on the line everyday. The end of the day may bring unde-sired results but they are what they are. Sometimes everyone los-es. There are no winners in this case and violence and destruction won’t undo it. What’s done is done. *****The Wednesday Lunch Bunch will meet Dec. 3 at Robert’s. Everyone is always welcome.*****One of our loyal readers wanted us to send her thanks to the good Samaritan who was so helpful Tuesday morn-ing of last week. It seems she had a blow out while on Hwy. 62. A kind man changed her tire but wouldn’t take payment. He did however take some freshly picked lemons. ***** A few folks we know celebrating their special day. On Nov. 26, a bunch of great folks celebrate their big day. I’ll start with the prettiest district judge in Texas, mother of twins and just a nice person, Judge Courtney Arkeen, celebrates.*** This guy I’m sure is not the pret-tiest district attorney in Texas but he’s a good guy who has been doing a heck of a good job for Orange County over the years. John Kimbrough really is a people’s person and pretty good at picking college football. The next guy, D.J. “Ace” Amodeo, who turns 90, is an interesting person with an interesting past. He knows plenty Orange County history. Ask him about the Orange jail house kill-ing back in the 50’s. Happy birthday Ace.***Russell Dillow, one time Bridge City school board president, owner of the Orange Sears store, celebrates as does our friend Eric Andrus, owner of Central Office Supply, grandson of a good man, Bill Smith, proof that an acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree.***Pretty Taryn Hub-bard, daughter of Kim and Lon Hubbard, also celebrates. They share birthdays with singers Tina Turner, 74 and Joe Nichols, 37.*****On Nov. 27, Thanksgiving Day, June and the late Fred Gregory’s daughter Sharon, who was once voted Miss Teenage America, celebrates as does Mark Bourgeois, son of the late Tommy Bourgeois. Also celebrating are Betty Simonton, Melis-sa Fisher, Don North, Cindy Huckabay and Roy’s sister Shirley Kogas. They join Carolyn Kennedy, 56 and actress Robin Giv-

ens, 49.*****On Nov. 28, a real good guy, Debbie’s longtime hus-band, head man at Cormier’s Well Service, David Fusilier, cele-brates as does our former editor, Veterans Officer, Air Force re-tired Jerry Childress, who last I heard was married to Barbie, celebrates today. Also Barbara Peveto, Cassandra Carpenter and Cappy Ricks. They join Jon Stewart, 51, and singer Randy Newman, 70.*****On Nov. 29, a good, down to earth guy, with lots of common sense, independent and will be a conscientious county commissioner, John Burton’s boy, Barry, celebrates. He will re-place his uncle Owen on the court.***Margaret Louviere turns 94. Her claim to fame is not only her son Mike but at one time she was famous for her banana nut bread. Also Trey Manuel and his son Maddox both celebrate. Granddad Kenneth Manuel cele-brates on the next day. Three generations.***Also celebrating are Jim Bob Aven, Sharon Evans and Angela Webb. They join How-ie Mandel, 58 and actress Kim Delaney, 52.*****Nov. 30, I could write a page full on this next one. Anyone who knows Norris and Pat Brandon’s girl knows what I’m talking about. Evelyn will do to ride the range with.

No mis-conduct. For three years attempts have been ongoing to make Benghazi Hillary Clinton’s albatross. Rep. Steve King said, “It was ten times worse than Watergate and Iran-Contra. It became a major obsession for FOX News. They have yet to report that the Republican panel debunked all the noise about Benghazi being a major scandal. There will be those who still want to hang Hillary with it despite the report. As for FOX and talk radio, they have gone underground with this favorable report.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK

Pooldo Comeaux’s a 70-year old, extremely wealthy widower who owns several big rice farms an da big bank in Abbeville. One day he showed up at da Abbeville Country Club wit a breathtak-ingly beautiful, sexy, 25-year old blond dat knocks everyone’s socks of with her youthful sex appeal and charm. She hangs on to Comeaux’s arm an listen intently to every word he says. His bud-dies at da club can’t get over it. Dey corner him an axe, “Pooldo, how you get dat trophy girlfriend, hanh?”

Comeaux him, he replies, “Girlfriend? She’s my wife!”Dat really knocked dem over. “Pooldo, how you persuade such

a gorgeous young woman to marry you?”“Mais, I lied bout my age, me,” Comeaux replied.“Wat do you mean?” dey axe. “Did you tell her you was 50?”Pooldo, him, he smile and say, “Mais no, me, I tole her dat I was

90.”

C’EST TOUT

They threw Brady under the bus: Even Orange County friends of Congressman Kevin Brady were saying that he was a shoe-in to be named chairman of “Ways and Means.” Kevin was next in line and should have been promoted, he even believed he would be and used the promotion as a reason citizens should vote for him. Sev-eral months ago, in this column, we said not so fast, because if Paul Ryan wanted the chairmanship they would throw Brady un-der the bus and that’s exactly what happened. Paul Ryan will be the new chairman despite Brady being a good soldier and voting with the crazies. Votes I’m sure he would have rather not made. A small handful, run the “Do nothing Congress” and Brady is not one of them. He made a concerted effort for the post, revamping his party fundraising operation and aggressively lobbying his fel-low Republicans for their support to no avail. When Ryan said he wanted it, the game was over.*****Good luck on Friday to Coach Thompson and his Mustangs in the game against La Marque.

yard being built there and we would have a better chance of finding work there,” said Rich-ardson. “Another man over-heard us talking and said if we would let him ride to Orange with us, he would buy the gas. We took his offer and drove to Orange.”

When they got to Orange they went to the shipyard to look for the hiring office, they found it and the man they gave the ride to saw some men in a car he recognized. “Our rider went to the car and talked to the men a while and came back and told us they were going to give us a job, to be at the office the next morning. We went back and sure enough, they had our names and had jobs for us to go to,” said Richardson.

Richardson went to work helping to pour the concrete for the “ways.” The “ways” were the places where the ships were actually built. They had over-head cranes and were built on a slope so that the ships could slide into the water. “I started out helping to put the rebar in the forms so that the concrete could be poured. There was nothing here, we started to build the shipyard so they could build the ships,” said Richardson.

In a short time he moved from that job to the Heavy Storage Warehouse. He had at-tended classes that were held in a fire station to learn to read blueprints, so before long he moved to become a shipfitter apprentice. He had not been on the job long when the foreman came to him and told him the shipfitter had been fired for be-ing drunk and he was going to become the shipfitter. “I told him I did not know anything about the job and he told me it was OK, no one else did either,” said Richardson. “ My pay jumped from 75 cents an hour to about $1.05.”

Richardson had only been employed a few months, but with a strong work ethic and the desire to educate himself, he soon moved up to a Leader-man in the Preassembly De-partment. His crew put togeth-er the structure of the ships. They built the transverse frames and bulkheads, and in-stalled gun mounts and alumi-num deckhouses. If he looked north of the shipyard, he saw Riverside being built.

His most unusual experience was working on a top secret project. A rocket launcher had been designed to be mounted on the Landing Craft Infantry

(LCI) ships. These were a fixed mount and were designed to be fired in support of the landing forces in both the Atlantic and Pacific campaigns.

“The Navy wanted 2,000 of these made. It was very top se-cret and all the building was done in the back of the ship-yard, way out of the way. We built them and tested them, but we never fired them. We just tested them to see that they would fire. They were pro-pelled by a five inch shell and there was a rack where the rockets were stacked one on top of another. When one fired, another dropped down in its place. My job was to be sure that the welds were smooth enough for the rockets to drop down,” said Richardson.

In 1941, he met the lady that he would marry. They met at a skating rink when he made a visit back home. She was not a skater, but he talked her into trying. Myrtle was a teacher and had no trouble getting a job in Orange. “She got a job teaching school. Her class started with 29 students and the next week she got ten more, then about ten more every Monday for weeks and weeks. They finally built three schools in Riverside. At one time Myr-tle was principal at both Tilley and Manley elementary schools,” said Richardson. At the time of Myrtle’s death they had been married 66 years.

Richardson made the transi-tion when Consolodiated Ship-yard became the American Bridge Division of United States Steel. He had moved into

the Ordering Office. “All the steel came in by rail. I learned early that things happened to cause late delivery. I just added two weeks to the time they said it would take for delivery. That kept me out of trouble and kept the bosses happy,” said Rich-ardson.

He was active in the Orange community as his certificate for 55 years of service to the Li-ons Club shows. He has also re-ceived the Melvin Jones Award, the highest award a Lion can earn. There is also a certificate of appreciation signed by the International President of the Lions International.

Only a few months shy of his 100th birthday, the modest man looks and acts much younger. He now lives in Con-roe near his daughter, Char-lotte. He enjoys early morning breakfasts with his church men’s group, and before a re-cent fall worked out at a fitness gym almost daily.

Two World War 2 Veterans from Orange were honored recently fortheir service at the Port Arthur Civic Center. Medical TechnicianJoe Luna (Left) served three years in The Pacific Theater & par-ticipated in the release of POWs from the Philippines. Navy ChiefClifton Stutes served 22 years. He survived suicide boat attackson Okinawa and witnessed the atomic bomb testing at Bikini Atoll.The event was hosted by the Texas Military Honors Team.

Catholics should ‘rekindle’ commitment to end racisme scenes of chaos and vio-

lence in Ferguson, Missouri,Nov. 24 following the grandjury’s decision not to indict thewhite police officer in the shoot-ing death of Michael Brown, anAfrican-American teenager, re-veal deeper issues going on inthe country, said one of thecountry’s black Catholic bish-ops.

“e racial divide that existsbetween blacks and whites is notaddressed adequately exceptwhen tragedies such as this hap-pen,” said retired Bishop John H.Ricard of Pensacola-Tallahassee,Florida, who is president of the

Carlson greets parishioners atBlessed Teresa of CalcuttaChurch in Ferguson, Mo., Nov.24 following a prayer service.e service was held the sameevening as violence began toerupt following the announce-ment that a St. Louis Countygrand jury would not indict aFerguson police officer in theAug. 9 shooting death ofMichael Brown. (CNS/LisaJohnston, St. Louis Review)

“e church took an activerole” back then, he noted andadded that church leaders in St.

Louis have made efforts butoverall the church as a whole hasnot been as “visibly active.”

Bishop Ricard, who grew up inthe segregated South in BatonRouge, Louisiana, and was a sem-inarian in Washington when theCivil Rights Act passed, does nothave a simple reason for why thechurch has not been as outspo-ken in recent years but he thinkscomplacency is partly to blame.

“People throw up their handsin air when there aren’t clear so-lutions or they are distracted byother things going on,” he said.

National Black Catholic Con-gress.

e smashed windows, loot-ings, car and building fires whenthe grand jury’s decision was an-nounced were “part of a cycle ofviolence that is going to con-tinue spiraling,” he added.

e reactions also wentagainst the Brown family’swishes to keep “protests peace-ful.”

In a statement, the familyurged the public to channel their“frustration in ways that willmake a positive change. Weneed to work together to fix thesystem that allowed this to hap-pen.”

When asked what can be doneto work toward this “positivechange,” particularly by theCatholic community, the bishopsaid Catholics should return tothe passion many of themshowed during the civil rightsmovement.

Nancy’s Kitchenby Nancy McWhorter

We had family over for Thanksgiving but instead of turkey, we had a spi-ral ham.  There is several ways to use leftover ham such as ham sandwiches, dry beans cooked with ham, ham casseroles, etc.  There are plenty of ways to use leftover turkey too.  Although turkey is not our favorite, there are many people out there that did have turkey for their Thanksgiving din-ner.  Now these people probably have lots of left-over turkey.  My former daughter-in-law, Theresa Stewart that now lives in Nottingham, England gave me a recipe that is the answer to help use up those leftovers.

You look at all that leftover turkey and don’t have the energy to make another full meal for the family.  There is shopping to be done, decorating the house inside and out, assembling the Christ-mas tree, presents to be wrapped and all the oth-er things that go along with getting ready for the Christmas holidays.  This dish is not only quick and easy it will also help use that leftover turkey and provide a substantial meal for the family.

 Theresa is a good cook and I appreciate her shar-ing this recipe with the The Record and me.  I will prepare it soon but use chicken instead of turkey. 

SW TURKEY CASSEROLE

 1 (10.75 oz.) can con-

densed cream of chicken soup

1 (10.75 oz.) can con-densed cream of mush-room soup

1 (7 oz.) can diced green chile peppers, drained

1 cup sour cream16 (6 inch) corn torti-

llas cut into strips10 oz. cooked turkey,

diced8 oz. shredded Cheddar

cheese In a mixing bowl, com-

bine the chicken soup, mushroom soup, chile peppers and sour cream.  Line the bottom of a 9X13 inch baking pan with corn tortillas.  Fol-low with a layer of tur-key.  Pour part of the soup mixture over tur-key, sprinkle with ½ of the cheese.  Repeat lay-ers and top with Cheddar cheese.  Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until cheese is browned and bubbly.

When families gather for Thanksgiving, or any holiday dinner where the food is likely still cook-ing as guests start arriv-ing, it’s always nice to have snacks and finger foods available to munch on while waiting for the meal to be served.

One of my favor-ite snacks to prepare is boudain dip. It’s not too heavy, and it is perfect with crackers, chips or a veggie tray. It’s quick and easy and just right for a last minute party food. You can’t go wrong with this popular request.

Happy Thanksgiving!

BOUdAin dip

Thomas takes care of his Orange County fanse phone rang a week

ago ursday while I waswatching an old $25,000Pyramid game showhosted by the late DickClark and waiting to leavefor my 10 a.m. SilverSneakers class at theBody Workz.

On the other end of theline was Debbie omas,mother of NFL playerEarl omas III.

Debbie said that she just received a text messagefrom her son Earl who wrote that he wanted wifeSusan and I to watch him play in his football gamein Washington on the next Sunday.

I told her that Susan would call her in the earlyafternoon as soon as she got home from school.

After I hung up, I scratched my head and remem-bered that the Seattle Seahawks had an importantgame with the first-place Arizona Cardinals Nov. 23and not the Washington Redskins.

I sounded real excited when Susan came homeand she wasn’t following what I was telling her verywell.

So when she returned the phone call, she wasfloored when Debbie told her that Earl wanted usto watch him play football against Arizona and wassending us two tickets to the game, two round-tripairline tickets to Seattle and two nights stay at theSeattle Hilton. Now both of us were very excited!!!

We spent last Friday night at a hotel near GeorgeBush Airport in Houston, hoping to get to see theWest Orange-Stark playoff game against Giddingsat nearby Turner Stadium. at part of the scenariodidn’t come to pass.

When we boarded the United Airlines 737 jet air-bus, the plane had 200 passengers and crew and wascompletely full.

Several members of Earl’s family were on theflight including uncles and aunts George and BettyFranks, Anthony and Quianna omas and theirthree children, his grandmother Dora omas,younger brother Seth, and his parents Earl, Jr. andDebbie omas.

His parents and Seth flew into Seattle a day ear-lier to be with him when he launched his Earlomas III Educational Foundation with a fund-raiser that netted $230,000—$50,000 of which wasEarl’s personal contribution.

When we arrived in Seattle shortly after noon onSaturday, Earl had arranged to have two CadillacEscalades meet us at the airport and bring us to theHilton.

Game Day Sunday in Seattle lasted the entire daybut began with a steady rain coming down. Astretch limousine picked us up at the hotel threehours before kickoff and drove us right down to theunderground parking lot for the Seattle players.

As we were unloading, a gorgeous black Rolls

Royce needed to get by. It was Earl, who was in ahurry, but had enough time to greet us and have apicture taken.

Our group had a special invitation to a privatepre-game party under Century Link Stadium thatwas almost like a carnival, with various games, aband, cold drinks and snacks.

By game time, the rain had stopped and the skywas cloudless as we climbed up to our seats on thethird level of the huge stadium. e game was billedas being between the NFL’s two best defenses andthe 9-3 halftime score verified it.

Just as the Seahawks were driving for the game’sonly touchdown, I got whacked on the back of myhead. A young lady about three rows up from uscame flying down after being knocked over by anun-sober man who had fallen out of the stands intoher.

Somehow my left arm helped break her fall as shelanded in the row in front of us. Dazed and scaredto death, she slowly got up and thankfully was allright. e fellow who started the mishap suffered agashed chin and was escorted downstairs.

e Seahawks scored to increase their lead to 16-3 late in the third period. But Arizona took the en-suing kickoff and was driving when Earl made acrucial stop on a third-down pass completion, forc-ing the Cardinals to punt.

at play, in my opinion,swung the momentum Seattle’sway for good as they went on to beatthe NFL’s winningest team 19-3 to thedelight of the unbelievably loud crowd.e victory put the Seahawks back in theplayoff hunt, tying them with the Dallas Cow-boys for the two NFC wild card spots if the seasonended today.

Our Orange entourage had passes to greet theplayers as they were coming out of the lockerroom. As he always did at West Orange-Starkand Texas, Earl was the very last player to comeout of the dressing room.

He was interviewed after the game by theSeattle Times and was quoted in Monday’s edi-tion as saying, “For the first time this year, Ithink we played for pure reasons, with nostrings attached.” e Seahawks also were asclose to a full defensive squad as they’ve hadsince the opener against Green Bay.

e limo then brought us to Earl’s home inthe upscale suburb of Bellevue where we weretreated to a barbecued beef meal with all thetrimmings.

I went downstairs to his “Man Cave” whichhad a monstrous television with theater-likecomfortable couches with drink-holders and

watched the second half of the Dallas-New York Gi-ants game. e walls were adorned with his variousgame jerseys and other football memorabilia.

After the party we were driven back to the hotelby Earl’s 6-5, 300-pound body guard who was be-hind the wheel of a new black Mercedes-Benz.

We returned to Houston on another United 737that also was completely full. While driving back toOrange I asked Susan, “What did I do to deservesuch a great, all-expenses paid trip like that?”

She replied without hesi-tation, “You hung ontomy coattails,”

A happy Earl Thomas is greeted by Susan Kazmar (left) and Joe Kazmarcoming out of the locker room at Century Link Stadium in Seattle afterThomas led the Seahawks’ defense to a 19-3 victory Sunday over the Ari-zona Cardinals. Susan was recognized by Earl with a trip to Seattle becauseshe was his pre-calculus teacher at West Orange-Stark and tutored him forthe SAT.

Living up to exactly what was expected, the Gid-dings Buffalo held tough against the Mustangs untilthe fourth quarter, when WO-S pulled ahead and fin-ished the game strong, 34-14. e win moves theMustangs on to the regional round where they willface the LaMarque Cougars (11-1) Friday night atStallworth Stadium in Baytown at 7 pm.

“We’re still alive,” Head Coach Cornel ompsonsaid. “I’m happy that we are still playing. It took usthe first half to get into the game mentally after hav-ing to deal with our off week and then the gameagainst Scarborough.”

e Mustang offense finished strong with a fairlybalanced attack with 232 rushing yards and 141 pass-ing yards. Quarterback Jack Dallas had 12 of 20 passcompletions and 4 carries for 22 yards, including thefirst touchdown of the game.

After the opening kickoff, both teams traded threeand outs before the Mustangs finally got on the boardwith Dallas’s quarterback draw from three yards out.Hector Vela’s kick was good and WO-S was on theboard with less than 6 minutes off of the clock.

e Buffs answered right back as running backRaylon Hickey took the kickoff almost all the wayback. Two plays later, Hickey tied the game at 7-7.

e Mustangs were able to answer back at the be-ginning of the second quarter. Running back GrantLaPoint-Teate, who finished the game with 174 rus-ing yards, took the ball in from just two yards out,after a 25-yard Dallas pass to Will Johnson set theMustangs up at the two yard line.

e Mustangs went to the locker room at the half,up 14-7, after ending the second quarter, knockingon the door of the goal line when Dallas ran for 31yards but was knocked out of bounds close to the endzone.

Giddings was not intimidated by the Mustangs andtook no time putting seven more points on the boardto tie the game to start the third quarter. WO-S an-swered back with a 11 play scoring drive of their own,most on the legs of LaPoint-Teate. Trey Baldwin didthe honors to score six from just one yard out. Vela’skick was no good, but the Mustangs were still up by6, 20-14.

Baldwin would hit the endzone two more timeslate in the fourth to seal the game. e first of his lasttwo was set up after the Mustangs went for it onfourth down and Dallas hit receiver Jeron Preston ona crucial nine yard pass to keep the drive alive. Onthe very next play Baldwin fumbled but MustangMandel-Turner King came up with the advancing balland Baldwin took it in for the score on the next play.Vela’s kick was good and the score stood at 27-14.

e Chain Gang defense held Giddings to just 7 firstdowns and 137 total offensive yards, and interceptedthe ball twice, the first by Will Johnson early in thegame.

“I was proud of the way Grant ran, and I felt like theO-line blocked well for us,” ompson said.  “e de-fense did a good job, especially in the fourth quarterand when they needed to. We had a couple of big playsby our defensive backs, with two interceptions by DTand Will. e final score was 34-14 and the Mustangsare still alive.”

Next up for the Mustangs are the feisty Cougars ofLaMarque, who beat Sweeney 19-7 last Friday. is willbe the fifth meeting in school history between the twoteams. e Cougars have won three of the last four out-ings and either won or played for the state champi-onship those three years. In 2000, the Mustangsdefeated LaMarque for the first time, 10-6, in the As-trodome and WO-S played for the state championshipthree weeks later.

“LaMarque is a perennial playoff team, but so arewe,” ompson said. “We have yet to play four quartersand we have some things to work on this week. Any-thing short of 48 minutes of play and we won’t makeit.”

e Cougars, who run the Wing T with some spreadsets, are led by #22 Alan Cooper, #24 Daequan Jones and #6 Ladarrian Ellis-Jones, who quarterbackedlast year. Junior Jalen Williams is the quarterback for LaMarque. According to ompson, they are theLaMarque of old with their speed, size quickness and tradition.

“We will be battling the anksgiving holidays and will have to have their undivided attention in prac-tice in this week,” ompson said. “But if the game is close late, I think we have a good chance.”

PUBLIC NOTICE

than others (any size topwater),but at the very least, the swimbait is a user-friendly bait thatrequires little more than castingand retrieving.

We caught a lot of good fishtoday on the four inch versionand I may well zero on it tomor-row, but if I crash and burn withany Swim Bait ... it will be with aUsual Suspect!

us far, the runoff from lastweekend’s downpour has dirtiedup the river a little, but it still

hasn’t slowed down the bite toany significant degree. We did alittle better on trout and redsfishing brighter colors like spaceguppy and wildfire tiger, but Ithink most any color pattern thatincludes a chartreuse tail willwork.

Two days in a row we kept twofish flounder limits that averagedbetter than three pounds and wedidn’t fish for them until after tir-ing of catching reds and trout.All of the flounder were taken on

either a three inch Swim Bait ora quarter ounce spinnerbait witha chartreuse Gulp swimmingmullet body.

ere was just enough lowland flooding from Saturday’sdownpour to dislodge somepretty significant floaters andsend them down both Cow andAdams bayou. Slow down andconsider starting your day afterfirst light if you haven’t been outin a while.

Happy anksgiving!

“I loved thatmovie,” said 15 yearold Isaac, “but Icouldn’t believe itwas the name of afishing bait as well. Ithought Dad waskidding when hesaid y’all caughtyour fish on UsualSuspects last week.“Which came first…..the movie or thebait?”

I couldn’t answer that ques-tion, but after consistently catch-ing both reds and trout on a verywindy day, Isaac was hoardingempty packages rather thanbothering to try recalling whichcolors worked the best. He ini-tially planned to order someafter anksgiving, but calledlater to say that they found al-most every color and size atSimon Outfitters before leavingtown the following morning.

I didn’t buy into the BatonRouge based H & H product asquickly as Isaac. As a matter offact, it took two years of gettingconsistently worn out by Capt.Adam Jaynes and Capt. JohnnyCormier before I ever gave theirTsunami Swim bait an honestshot. Not surprisingly, I discov-ered it to be very difficult to findin area tackle shops so I fishedthem only when I found themwhile shopping for other baits.

Enter Tal Cowan, the owner ofthe popular Texas Tackle Factoryline up. While talking with himabout his own baits he men-tioned that H&H was about tocome out with a Swim Bait andbased on their track record itwould be a good one. Cowan’sforecast proved to be right onthe money.

Only weeks after that conver-sation, I purchased my first pack-age of three inch Suspects andthat sealed the deal with SwimBaits for me. ere are, withoutquestion, several other very goodSwim baits on the market, buttheir color choices are more lim-ited and the four inch Suspecttracks just as true as the shorterversion.

When you are in the businessof providing clients with tackle

two hundred plusdays a year, the ulti-mate hope is thatone size and onecolor fits all and thatthe lure is durable. Ihave found them tobe no more or noless durable than anyof the other qualitySwim Baits and,much to my chagrin;I have discovered

that both color and size canmake a huge difference on anygiven day.In my opinion, that iswhere the Suspect really shines!

I have had enough days wherethe three inch version was hotterthan the four inch and vice versaand I have caught fish on onecolor when they would not touchanother. More importantly, Ihave heard the same thing fromthe majority of fishermen thathave elevated them to their start-

ing line-ups.Size is usually not ascritical as color when fishing aSuspect at any depth and I stillfind that the smaller versionyields more strikes.

Easily the most appealing traitof the lure is that it is as effectivebumped off the bottom in fifteenfeet of water as it is fished on aslow steady retrieve in less thantwo feet of water. For the mostpart, regardless of depth, it is atits best when fished on a slowsteady retrieve. It can be difficultmaking yourself fish it that wayafter imparting some kind of ac-tion with conventional tails foryears, but it’s the vibration of thepaddle tail that most attractsfish.

As much as I wish there were,there is no single bait or colorthat will catch fish everyday re-gardless of the weather or waterclarity. ere are also baits thatare more fun to catch fish on

‘Usual Suspects’ ... not just the name of a good movie

Chris fooled this nice red with a four inch Suspect!

Outlook improvesfor goose hunters

I stood at the edge of my driveway with myhead cocked to one side and a smile on myface, the big group of speckle bellied geese fi-nally came into view and the picture was nowcomplete. I turned to walk back into my yardto continue a little boat maintenance and Ifroze again, this time it was snow geesethat  stopped my forward progress. I don’tknow what it is but it seems I hear geese al-most everywhere these days, sort of like youthink you hear the phone ring when you arein the shower, you are not quite sure but youhave to stop and listen anyway.

For legions of waterfowl hunters the goose represents a regal and ex-tremely challenging quarry. Many hunters believe the mature snowgoose is perhaps the toughest of all game birds to hunt, they have greateyesight and their instincts are incredible. On a typical goose hunt mosthunters take plenty of the juveniles, they are by far the easiest to lureinto shotgun range. Mature snows, with their noticeably whiter plumageand bigger bodies, tend to be decoy wary and much tougher to fool. Atrue big mature snow is indeed a trophy to be proud of as any huntercan attest to.

e flocks of these great birds invade the Texas coastal prairies andafford hunters some outstanding action. Guides along the coastal prairiewill tell you the most successful usually coincide with foggy mornings.e overcast skies and foggy weather make it much easier decoy thesewary birds into your spread. During the last weeks of the second split itseems like the geese start making the transition from rice stubble toplowed fields where they are dining on all  sorts of different foods.Hunters with access to plowed ground and green fields have the upperhand for the rest of the season as the menu will change once these birdsready themselves for the migration back north. Green field hunts in De-cember and January can be awesome as the geese load up on the proteinrich grass, sometimes it’s difficult to even shoot them out of a field. I haveseen farmers drive into green fields to work and the geese will get up justlong enough for the farmer to pass and then they go right back to samespot and continue eating. Late regular season hunts and early conserva-tion season hunts will more than likely be better in these green fields.

Curtis ArmstrongOrange

“We make a living by whatwe get, we make a life by whatwe give.”

-WinstonChurchhill

C u r t i sL a v e r g n eArmstrongwas born inO r a n g e ,May 9, 1921to CurtisL a m a rArmstrongand Mary Ethel Hatton Arm-strong. A grandson of early Or-ange pioneer John MosesHatton, Curtis grew up in atime when horses were an ac-ceptable (and often preferred)mode of transportation andcattle drives still occurredacross Roundbunch. He and histwo older sisters, Loraine andGladys, were raised on theirparents’ dairy farm, learning ata young age the values of re-spect, honesty, and hard work.

Curtis was a man of manyhats – he was a World War IINavy veteran, a charter mem-ber of the Orange County Sher-iff Posse and MountedQuadrille, President of theWest Orange School Board inthe ‘60s, an operator at DuPontSabine River Works, and ayouth leader and Deacon atMcDonald Memorial Baptist

Church. Yet to him, it was therelationships he built throughthose activities that matteredmost. He had an unwaveringfaith in God and demonstratedChrist’s love for others throughthe simple things – a kindword, a smile, or a much-needed hug.

He had a zest for life and pas-sion for adventure. He and hisbeloved bride of nearly 68 yearsmade the most of their days.They shared a love of travel andintroduced their two daughtersto the wonders of this nationthrough yearly family vaca-tions. They spent numerousdays camping alongside Col-orado streams, exploring na-tional parks on dirt bikes, andfishing in east Texas lakes. To-gether, he and Martha exploredall 50 states and eight Canadianprovinces. A rancher at heart,Curtis cared for livestockthroughout his life. Much tothe delight of his grandchildrenand great-grandchildren, hispastures held goats, sheep,donkeys, cattle, and even allama or two.

Age was never a deterrent toCurtis – in his 70s, he rode inthe opening parade of the Sher-iff Posse Reunion rodeo, in his80s, he went on daily walks andbike rides, he continued his beekeeping business into his 90s,and continued making visits tothe ‘young folks’ in the nursinghome through September.

He was known by manynames – Lavergne, C.L, Curtis,Daddy, Pop, Papaw, UncleVern, Bernie – each one re-flecting a relationship, a life in-fluenced by the genuinecompassion and the quietstrength of a humble cowboyfrom Orange.

Curtis was reunited with hisbride in heaven Nov. 19. He issurvived by his daughters Bev-erly Jean (James) Burch ofGrenada, MS and Judy Dianne(Bill) Brimm of Orange, as wellas four grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and 10 great-great grandchildren.

He is preceded in death byhis lifelong love, Martha Gun-stream Armstrong, his parents,and his sisters.

The funeral wias held Tues-day, Nov. 25, at 10:00 am, atMcDonald Memorial BaptistChurch in West Orange.

In lieu of flowers, donationsmay be made to Orange Chris-tian Services, 2518 W. ParkAve., Orange, Texas 77630, orthe charity of your choice.

Deaths and MemorialsSpeaking of the conservation season, Texas could stand to take a page

out of Louisiana’s playbook. Over across the river the goose hunters getto take advantage of the conservation season during the split betweenduck seasons, talk about a bargain.

If Texas would allow hunters to be able to hunt under the special con-servation rules during the regular season you can bet there would be adrop in the overall population. e problem with allowing the specialrules to go into effect that go along with the conservation season is thatyou are technically illegal by normal standards. During the conservationseason you can hunt with an unplugged gun, you can now carry 5 shellsinstead of just 3.

Also during the conservation season hunters can use electronic call-ing devices, these are illegal during the regular season. One possibleway to get around this is to make it illegal to possess any bird other thana light goose if you are hunting with an unplugged gun or a calling de-vice, if you have a duck in your possession you would be in violation ofthe law.  is probably will never happen but it sure makes you wonderhow good it could really be.

For now though hunters will have to make due with the birds that arehere and wait until January to break out the callers and unplug theirshotguns. e only problem with having to wait until special seasoncomes around is that there are a bunch of geese already leaving andheading back north, the special season is really only good until aboutValentines day. After the middle of February these geese are spooky andflying high, not a good combination for hunters.

As for right now the hunting is good and should do nothing but getbetter. e next time you hear that faint noise above and look up andsee that familiar line of geese in the shape of a “V” you can bet you’renot the only one looking to the sky and wondering.

Uzzle

Snow geese have been crashing the party lately and there are nocomplaints from happy waterfowlers.
