“When my crappie lights start coming on after the evening news,” said Joel Lance, “I know it’s time to start checking out my staging areas for big bass. No particular month, although February has been a pretty consistent one over the years, has much bearing on when the big females start showing up.” “For that matter, even water temperature hasn’t seemed to play as big a role as more hours of daylight,” added Lance. “Here on Toledo Bend, however, the big bass bite seems to start even earlier for me than the lakes a little fart...
KAZ’S KORNER The day of the long-term, nine-figure major league baseball salaries may be coming to a screeching halt, at least that’s what it looks like from my point of view. There’s a long laundry list of very talented major leaguers who must feel like they are in a state of limbo because spring training for pitchers and catchers begins today and these players who opted for free agency rather than re-sign with their 2017 team are really getting nervous. Last weekend Japanese star pitcher Yu Darvish may have become the l...
Dave Rogers For The Record There’s an election coming up and aspiring-to-be County Judge Donald Brown says folks in the local Democratic Party are playing politics. “They’ve decided to play politics because somebody doesn’t like me. They want to get me off the ticket,” he said Tuesday. Brown’s attorney, Mynor E. Rodriguez of Houston, sent a cease-and-desist letter to Orange County Democratic Party chairman John Baker over the weekend, threatening “immediate litigation” w...
Dave Rogers For The Record Political newcomer Dean Crooks’ campaign continues as the big spender while his opponent in the March 6 Republican Primary, County Judge Stephen Brint Carlton, picked up the most donor dollars in the latest reporting period. Carlton scored a total of $6,000 in monetary and in-kind contributions in the period between Jan. 1 and Jan. 25 – including a couple of $2,500 contributions from Bridge City attorney Jay Tantzen and Orange native Colin Garrett, owner of Beaumont’s G&G Enterprises Const...
Dave Rogers For The Record Kenneth Luce, a former candidate for Orange County Judge, has endorsed challenger Dean Crooks over incumbent Judge Stephen Brint Carlton in the March 6 Republican primary. Luce has been busy getting out the word, because his withdrawal came too late to keep his name off the ballot. “I’m strongly encouraging all my supporters: Please don’t cast a vote for me,” Luce said. “Cast a vote for Dean Crooks. “That way, there’s not a run-off and we’ll have a new judge.” Both the Sabine Area Labor Council and...

TODAY IS A SPECIAL DAY Today is Valentine’s Day and also Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. The beginning of the Lenten season marks 40 days before Easter. Christians will observe the Holy Season, each faith in its own way. I know for sure Catholics will participate in annul traditions that have been passed down for generation. Some of the earlier traditions have been modified by later generations even though many Catholics choose to still practice the old customs, like not eating meat on Friday, etc. We want to extend H...

Dave Rogers For The Record Tax Assessor-Collector Karen Fisher was the bearer of some really good news Tuesday afternoon at the weekly meeting of the Orange County Commissioners’ Court. Like $18.7 million worth. That’s the share of 2017 property tax collected through the end of January that stays with the county government in Orange after the other two dozen odd taxing entities – for example, cities, schools and navigation districts – take their cuts. Fisher’s office of...
