For The Record- Capt. Dickie Colburn At that exact moment there was every indication that while Jack Valence and his son, Daryl and I may not be anchored in a great flounder spot, we were at the very least anchored in a popular one! I hadn’t fished for flounder with mud minnows since Foret’s Tackle closed, but they brought some with them and I wasn’t on a bite that held any more promise. The anchor rope was no sooner stretched tight than Daryl requested the net and his Dad s...

For The Record- Chuck Uzzle There are very few things in this world that are as beautiful to watch as a well trained dog, no matter what breed or what task they are bred to accomplish I love watching all of them. As a wide eyed 8 year old with shotgun in hand I watched a pair of exceptional English Pointers scour the east Texas and southwest Louisiana landscape in search of quail and woodcock on a routine basis. The pointers were the pride and joy of my grandfather, Olin...
REMEMBERING THE DAY JFK DIED As I sit here on Nov. 22 planning this column it hits me that the date has more significance than being my friend H.D. Pate’s birthday. November 22, 1963 comes alive in my mind. I instantly recall every step I took that day. That’s the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. The shooting occurred around noon and the rest of the day that was all my mind was occupied with. I watched every report on a black and white television whi...

For the Record Was the Coalition Opposing Vidor Loop 299 beating a dead horse when it presented its case before Orange County Commissioners Court Tuesday afternoon? Did Hillary Clinton turn out to be the shoo-in for president that most pollsters were saying? Coalition members Ellen Buchanan and Leslie Barras were not about to assume that headline-grabbing grass roots opposition has killed the proposed $63 million investment-slash-gamble with taxpayer money. They piled on some...

For the Record The wheels are turning again for the move of Orange’s City Hall but no one’s going anywhere for a while. The Thursday decision by the Texas Ninth Court of Appeals in Beaumont that Orange’s Master Plan is “a guide” and not a law freed the city to continue with a move it began in January – the purchase of the First Financial Building on 16th Street. The sale’s closing is expected to be finalized in December. “We’re very excited that the city’s litigation has been...
