The sports fans who sat in front of their television set for more than 12 hours Sunday were treated to two of the best events of the year and maybe of all time. And both of these happened to involve teams from Houston—the Texans versus the Seattle Seahawks and Game 5 of the 2017 World Series between the Astros and the Los Angeles Dodgers. If one were to give a one-word description to both of these games, it would have to be SLUGFEST as far as I’m concerned. The Texans had to travel to Seattle to meet the Seahawks in the lat...
“I am not going to tell you!”That was Sam Michele’s blunt response to “Are the flounder doing it at Cameron yet?”It is his contention, and rightfully so, that every November the Texas limit is reduced to two fish and Texans flood across the Causeway to take advantage of the more liberal Louisiana limits. “When the migration (fish not fishermen) is in full swing it is not unusual to see the same guys making two trips a day over here,” added Michele. If you have ever attempted to fish the Cameron ferry area in November or Decem...

For the Record Capt. Chuck Uzzle “You remember when….” is a question that I am hearing all too often these days, especially when I am talking to water fowlers. Less than a decade ago our area marshes were a haven for all types of migratory birds, world class wing shooting at its best. The skies were filled with ducks and geese and the local hospitality and great Cajun cuisine made this part of the world a magnet for hunters from all around the globe. Well the food and hospital...
ASTROS FACE FINAL CHANCE I thought game two of the 2017 World Series was a game for the ages but one of the greatest comebacks of all times, by both teams, who just wouldn’t quite, was game five. The game featured everything, success, failure, magic and seven homeruns. Finally in the bottom of the 10th inning the Astros won the game 13-12. Houston and all of Southeast Texas went wild. The Astros could really be world champions. The game had lasted way into the night, 12:17 a.m., a five hour, 17 minute calamity. The game, f...
Dave Rogers For The Record Businesses and non-profits are in line for some long-awaited help with storm debris. Homeowners whose Harvey mess doesn’t fit in FEMA’s cookie cutter could be next. Orange County commissioners’ court voted unanimously Tuesday to accept the proposal for “Commercial and Faith-Based Organizations Hurricane Harvey debris pickup for one pass only.” The five court members also voted unanimously to issue a “Notice of Intent” for private property debris removal (PPDR) on a case-by-case basis for residenti...
Dave Rogers For The Record Restructuring was hot and reducing disaster pay was not in Orange County Commissioners’ Court this week. Actually, Commissioner Johnny Trahan had a hot take in a Monday work session when County Judge Stephen Brint Carlton tried to bring up his plan to roll back some of the disaster pay increase a split court had voted in two weeks ago. “We looked at this for quite a long time. We had a vote on it two weeks ago, decided what we’re going to do,...
