As we were pulling out of our garage last Monday afternoon heading for George H.W. Bush Intercontinental Airport, wife Susan and I noticed just a couple of raindrops on the windshield, unknowing the number of raindrops that would be deposited in our absence. Our trip to Houston was normal and we made our 6:30 p.m. non-stop flight without any fanfare. However, the plane was coming from Cancun and was an hour late. I brought my cane to make the huge amount of walking easier on my sports- ravaged knees and sat in the front secti...
Games This Week WEST ORANGE-STARK over BRIDGE CITY—We’ll see how an unscheduled week off affects both of these teams. Normally the Mustangs would be heavy favorites, so we’ll just leave it that way. LITTLE CYPRESS-MAURICEVILLE over HARDIN-JEFFERSON—The Bears may have missed out on another defeat against Vidor last week and should get back to their winning ways against the Hawks and evening their record at 2-2. But the Battlin’ Bears must play well because the visitor has been playing better each week. ORANGEFIELD over BUNA...

A STORM CAME “WAS I DREAMING” I woke up Sunday morning confused, was I in the twightlight zone or had I dreamed the events of the last few days? Imelda, a rain carrying storm, had hit the Gulf Coast area, from Houston to Cameron, Louisiana. She was no Harvey generally but to those affected she was just as damaging. I heard stories about families who had just moved into their Harvey repaired homes that were flooded again. In some cases folks that had dodged Harvey damage were struck with over-flowing rivers. I toured the are...

Dave Rogers For The Record One of Orange’s fastest growing small businesses quickly has fermented into a wrath over grapes. But a Monday night Orange City Council workshop appeared to chill the whine between the owner/operator of Free State Cellars winery and owners of three neighboring homes. Neighbors Myra Alexander, John and Susan Shields, and Andy and Simmye Griffin wrote to the city in August requesting a total of 29 “no parking,” “Trucks Prohibited” and 25-mph speed limi...

Dave Rogers For The Record “Skated” was the word most often heard in the aftermath of last week’s Tropical Depression Imelda. Unless you were among the unlucky ones that didn’t. Seven out of eight City of Orange city council members and employees polled Monday night escaped home flooding from the storm that dumped more than 20 inches in a 24-hour period on much of the county, more than 30 inches on some. Jennifer Krummel, assistant to the city manager, was near tears, however...
