If there was any doubt that All-Pro free safety Earl Thomas of Orange wants out of Seattle, when he sat out of two Seattle Seahawks practices and was late for Saturday’s usual walkthrough should be convincing enough. The absences were unexcused and Earl is expecting some sort of a fine for his actions. Many close to the NFL also expect him to be fined—perhaps quite heavily. Rumors on Saturday were that Head Coach Pete Carroll was considering not playing Earl Sunday against the Cowboys. What a mistake that would have bee...
A short time back, almost forty years now, I was talked into guiding on Sabine Lake when I wasn’t pulling trips on Toledo Bend.At the time you could keep a zillion small trout and you couldn’t get away from twelve to eighteen inch redfish. The main problem with that scenario was that no dedicated trout fishermen with a little extra pocket money wanted to spend it chasing down multiple fish fries.They were looking for that one big trout and they had a better chance of cat...

The big Turkey Day is on the horizon, so how about a quick fix for that anticipated poultry day? I promise that it will not take you long to cook this dish. This recipe is from the 1970's recipe notes of my late mom. She was a career mom who loved easy to cook dishes, t.v. dinners, pot pies, and crock pots. She was a great mom, but cooking was not a high priority if it took very much time since she was a busy lady. She cared for my ailing grandfather (her dad) and uncle (her...
Capt. Chuck Uzzle For the Record As the days grow shorter and the temperatures becomes slightly more tolerable it is plain to see that fall and hunting season are just around the corner. For local hunters, the first taste of hunting season came in the form of the opening of teal season which was followed shortly by the south zone opener for dove hunters. Wing shooters and waterfowlers aside, the most anticipated event here at home as well as all over the state will be the opening of deer season. On Sept 29th the archery only...

"There will be free food with...

MID-TERM ELECTIONS ONLY SIX WEEKS AWAY This week we are still operating without the service of Roy, who hasn’t been released by his eye doctor after cataract surgery. We still have Creaux keeping a watchful eye on our production, insisting we again put out two good hometown newspapers. I did have a chance to watch the Ted Cruz/Beto O’Rouke’s television debate. Sen. Cruz has a reputation of being a national debating champion, however Beto had him stumbling and searching his mind for a rebuttal. With two more debates I’m s...
