GAMEDAY!

Those missing after Ike tally nearly 400 in four-county area By CHRISTINE RAPPEYE September, 25, 2008 Norma Rubin of High Island hasn't given up hope that her son, Herman "PeeWee" Thomas Moseley, will be found. She last heard from him Sept. 12. He was still at his Gilchrist home as the storm surge from Hurricane Ike was rising. Only a few homes remain intact in Gilchrist. "We're still not giving up," said Rubin, 66, whose home in High Island also was destroyed by Ike. Moseley is one of dozens of Bolivar Peninsula residents listed as missing on the Laura Recovery Center's Web site. More than 400 people are listed on the center's Web site from Galveston, Harris, Chambers and Jefferson counties. The center is providing assistance to help those searching for loved ones, according to a news release from Beaumont police officer and spokeswoman Crystal Holmes. Family members and other loved ones have been calling in reports of the missing, said Terry Arnold, one of the center's founding volunteers. Those missing could have evacuated and be just fine, but they haven't gotten or aren't able to get in touch with family members. Still others might not have returned home yet. "It's hard to know how many are missing," Arnold said. Arnold said the center's officials are working with FEMA and the Red Cross to see if people are in shelters elsewhere. She has had people who were on the list call in to report that they were OK. After verifying who they were, Arnold said they were taken off the list and those who reported them as missing were notified. In Chambers County, the seven-day search through the Hurricane Ike debris turned up the body of an unidentified white woman Tuesday. "We've had calls already from people missing friends or loved ones since the storm," Sheriff Joe LaRive said Wednesday by phone. LaRive is asking for the public's help in identifying the woman, described as in her late 40s or early 50s, 5 feet 6 inches tall, with short brown hair with blond to grey highlights. She has a scar from a hysterectomy and has had dental work, including fillings and caps. The Chambers County search process is slow and exact, with debris fields mapped out and people and dogs looking through each one. The entire process, searching through 44 major debris sites with the aid of trained search dogs, could take weeks. The debris includes everything from refrigerators and staircases to boats and entire walls, according to a news release from LaRive. "We do know that much of what was at Gilchrist and Crystal Beach before the storm is now five or six miles inland in Chambers County," LaRive said in the release. Searchers have slogged through high water, knee-deep mud and piles of debris and trash. "It's been a tough deal with the remote areas," LaRive said Wednesday. "You're looking at deep mud, alligators, snakes ⦠and the worst of it is the mosquitoes." Officials are mapping the locations where people were rescued as well as where any remains are found. The idea is to match up where people are rescued or bodies found with their original locations in hope that the information will help searchers know where to look for others who might be missing from the same area, LaRive said. "We're still out there," LaRive said. "We still don't have a definite count of how many people are missing from Galveston County." Every resident in Chambers County has been accounted for, LaRive said. Laura Recovery Center [Hidden Content] To contact the Laura Recovery Center, call (866) 898-5723 or (281) 482-5723

Lady Bears set for revised 20-4A volleyball schedule Van Wade The Orange Leader LITTLE CYPRESS — After storming to a tremendous victory over defending district champion Port Neches-Groves to start District 20-4A play Sept. 5, the Little Cypress-Mauriceville Lady Bears’ season came to a standstill when Hurricane Ike came to the area. After opening with a big win like that, the Lady Bears (17-7) certainly had momentum on their side. Long-time LC-M coach Vicki Castino feels the team can regain their momentum. During the course of the storm, evacuation and cleanup, LC-M and PN-G couldn’t play four of their district matches while Lumberton, Beaumont Central, Beaumont Ozen, Vidor and Livingston missed five matches. The Lady Bears will jump back into 20-4A play tonight when they visit the Lumberton Lady Raiders with the freshmen starting at 4:30 p.m. followed by the junior varsity and varsity. “The kids are excited to get back to normal and to start playing matches again,†said Castino, who led the Lady Bears to a second-place district finish last season and to the area round of the Class 4A Region III playoffs. “Lumberton is a team that has shown a lot of improvement from last year. Like I’ve said before, there are no easy matches in our district.†The Lady Bears originally had a non-district tuneup today set up with the Silsbee Lady Tigers, a team that has been strong in recent years in District 21-3A. However, after a 20-4A meeting was held Wednesday night, the district season was set up to start today. “Silsbee would’ve been a great test for the kids,†said Castino. “We would’ve loved to have gotten that one in for a little warmup before district started. But, since we were so far behind, we had to start district as soon as possible and Friday is the day.†Next week the Lady Bears will have two district matches, Thursday, Oct. 2 at home against Nederland and Friday, Oct. 3 at home against PN-G. The real fun begins the week of Oct. 6-10 as four district matches will be played. LC-M hosts Livingston 9Oct. 6), visits Central (Oct. 7), welcomes Vidor (Oct. 9) and travels to Nederland (Oct. 10). The old regular 20-4A season returns the last two weeks with the Lady Bears visiting Livingston (Oct. 14) and Vidor (Oct. 17) then hosting Lumberton (Oct. 21) and visiting Ozen (Oct. 24). “We all got together and worked out a nice plan to get all of our matches in,†Castino. “That one week will be tough, playing four matches and all but the UIL allowed it and everything worked all well. The kids have been working hard and they know that we’ll have to be on our game each time out, especially with that tight of a schedule.â€

BC back to Big Red business Gabriel Pruett The Orange Leader BRIDGE CITY — Cris Stump looked over 45 of his Bridge City Cardinals Thursday morning and was very pleased to see them talking. Usually a coach would scream and yell for players to quiet down and get ready to pay attention. Not on Thursday and not in Bridge City. “They have not been able to sit around and shoot the bull with their buddies for two weeks,†Stump said. “This is good for all of us.†The streets of Bridge City are still cluttered with debris from Hurricane Ike which struck almost two weeks ago. In those short two weeks stories have been told and pictures have been taken of the damage done in this small town. Football is now a release for the players, coaches and soon the fans of the Cardinals. “I have had a lot of people from the school administration all the way down calling when the team would get going,†Stump said. “The city is waiting to get back to some kind of normalcy. It will be good not only for the community but for the kids too. People really don’t know how bad Bridge City got hit until they drive down these streets.†After speaking to his players inside the Bridge City weight room Stump sent the team to the practice field in shorts and T-shirts. While the players warmed up Stump got a call and soon announced the Cardinals would travel to Huntington for a game next Friday at 7:30 p.m. Senior Blake Snyder is ready to take the field. “There was a point where I thought this season would be over,†Snyder said. “I thought I would have to switch schools or transfer. It’s great to still be a Bridge City Cardinal.†Snyder is one of the many Cardinals who had flood waters race into his home. He said his family estimates their house took in two-and-a-half to three-feet of water. “I have been working on the house every day,†Snyder said. “It will be great to play a little football. Nothing will be better than to get back to normal. Everyone in Bridge City knows what each other is going through. It is not just one person.†The Cardinals will enter the Huntington game with a 1-1 mark with an opening win against Liberty and a loss against Kountze. Junior Joe Robertson was on a tear through the first two games with 191 yards on the ground and three touchdowns. Robertson also had a receiving touchdown on two receptions. Josh Lemoine has thrown for 301 yards and five touchdowns with just one interception. Cory Moseley and Luke Rhodes each have four catches. Moseley has two scores while Jerry Landry also has two touchdowns on three receptions. The Cardinals are averaging 309 yards of offense a game. “It just makes me feel good to see these guys,†Stump said. “The kids wanted to practice. I know my daughter (Maggie) can gripe sometimes about volleyball practice yet she was ready to practice through all this.†Snyder agreed with his coach it was time to get back to work. “It feels great to be out here,†Snyder added. “It is a way to get away from everything and the hours you have to put in to cleaning up your home. I really imagine this will bring us closer together as a team.â€

The District 21-3A Cross Country Championships have been moved from Wednesday, Oct. 29 to Saturday Oct. 25 at Claiborne Park. “We tried our best to keep kids in school as much as possible during the weekdays because so much school has already been missed,†said Gentry. ‘That’s the main reason we moved the cross country meet to a Saturday.â€

District volleyball play should have started Sept. 23. However, the district will only have to make up that one match for all the schools and those matches will be played Saturday, Oct. 11 and that includes West Orange-Stark at Orangefield and Hamshire-Fannett at Bridge City. The rest of the schedule will go off as planned starting Sept. 30 with Orangefield visiting Hardin-Jefferson and Bridge City will travel to Silsbee. All junior high, freshmen and JV football games will go off as scheduled when district play begins. There may be a handful of junior high volleyball games on Saturdays.
