  • DALLAS DUMPS DEZ: DECIDES DRAFT DANDY

    Updated Apr 17, 2018

    KAZ’S KORNER The worst kept secret among the pro football buffs came to light last weekend without many being surprised at the news that the Dallas Cowboys cut their most prolific wide receiver Dez Bryant. After all, his production dropped dramatically while his on and off-field antics increased to a point his personality was becoming more and more of a distraction.

  • Sherlock Breaux in the Creaux's Nest

    Updated Apr 17, 2018

    COUNTY JUDGE CARLTON MOVING ON There is so much going on nationwide I could write an entire column on the daily chaos that has taken place since last I sat here. First here at home however, County Judge Brint Carlton has decided to resign at ‘high noon’ on Sunday, April 22. Honestly that didn’t come as a surprise. I had wondered why Brint wouldwant to stay in Orange. It’s a tough time to practice law in this area, and establishing a law practice even more challenging. Brint had already tried practicing law with his father,...

Still, Carlton was expected to serve out his term, which doesn’t expire until the end of 2018, seven-plus months away. Instead, he announced Fridayhe’s leaving...
