EC Scores Perfect Score on Financial Rating
Buccadears Present 2022 Follies
By Wade Thibodeaux The East Chambers ISD Board of Trustees met in regular session at 6:00 pm on Monday, January 10, 2022 at the Administration Building located at 216 Champions Loop. Superintendent Scott Campbell advised the board that the District had scored 100 out of a possible 100 on the Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas(FIRST). This resulted in the District being given the highest rating of "Superior Achievement" Operations Director Darren Smith advised the board that the track project was finally completed and that 14 GPS units had been replaced on the Districts buses. These 14 units were out of date and would no longer work as they were 3G units and not supported by the carrier. A new app was launched for the District and it contains all of the menus for school lunches at each campus and therefore parents can log on and see what was being served to the students. Superintendent
Campbell noted that the current enrollment for the District was 1536 students and that the district would be receiving $500,000. in 2022 and 2023 from the County for the School Tax Equalization fund. No public comments were made during the public participation portion of the meeting and after a short executive session, the board emerged to approve the promotion of 4th year Assistant Band Director Jaren Braud to the position of Director of Bands. They also approved the promotion of Dina Bordelon to the position of Assistant Band Director. The board also approved postponing the March 2022 regular monthly meeting a week until March 21, 2022 as the scheduled meeting for the 14th of March would be during Spring Break. The next regular meeting of the East Chambers ISD Board of Trustees will be Monday, February 14, 2022 at 6:00 pm at the Administration Building located at 216 Champions Loop in Winnie, Texas.

The board also received a report of monthly expenses that showed $136,494.92 for

Wade In the Shade by Wade Thibodeaux Okay, it's Monday night and I'm sitting at my computer thinking that I'm doing really well in finishing up the papers and all of a sudden this thought goes racing through my mind, Holy Toledo, I haven't written my column this week. Things have been so slow in the news business lately that I have completely forgotten about my column. I get really nervous this time of year because I always wonder if we will have any news to write about and then all of a sudden, wham, Spring is here and we can't keep up with everything that's happening. After doing this for a few decades, I should be used to it, but it always bothers me when it gets this slow. I should appreciate the break and go fishing or something, but it always seems like just about the time I plan a trip, something breaks loose and I end up not going anywhere and losing
my deposit for the cabin or hotel room or whatever I had reserved. I guess that I could work on the house because I need to remodel a bathroom in one house and I need to paint the outside of the other house, but with this weather, I'm usually in the wrong place to do either job. When the weather is pretty nice, I'm going to be in the place that needs the bathroom remodeled and when the weather is below freezing, I'm going to be in the location that needs the outside of the house painted. The end result is that neither work ends up getting done and I'm still frustrated about it. I could hire somebody to do it , but that costs money and I hate to hire somebody to do a job that I'm capable of doing myself. Besides that, it probably wouldn't be done to my satisfaction and if I do it then I have nobody to complain about but myself.
Anyway, I'll get around to doing the work sooner or later and by then I'll probably have to do some additional work because of the delay. Speaking of bad luck, I was up at the place in Elkhart the other day and somehow ended up knocking both front tires off of the rims on the tractor. Calvin was with me and he happened to have an electric impact wrench in his toolbox and in no time had both rims off of the tractor and we had them loaded into the truck. The weather was really bad as it was starting to rain and the wind was blowing and the temperature was dropping. We figured that we would deal with the tires later. So, a week goes by and I figure that it's about time to put those tires back on the tractor so that I can put some hay out to my cows. In the meantime, I had decided that that electric impact wrench was a pretty good investment and I searched for the best deal on amazon and purchased one. It arrived just in time and I headed to Elkhart to repair the tractor and put out hay to my cows. This really shouldn't be a very big job, afterall, I just need
to put the tires onto the spindle and use the impact wrench to tighten the lug nuts. I placed the first tire onto the spindle, lined up the lug nuts with the holes, slid the tire onto the bolts and started all of the lug nuts before I went to the truck to get my brand new electric impact wrench. I opened the nice little carrying case that the thing came in and plugged
THE HOMETOWN PRESS
the cord into the extension cord that I had already strung out, placed the socket onto the wrench and placed it onto the first lug nut. I hit the button and the motor came on, but the socket never moved. I took it off of the lug nut and held the socket in my hand and hit the button again and sure enough the motor came on, but the socket never moved. After a little
PAGE 2
while of playing with the dang thing, I went to the truck and retrieved the four way lug wrench and put two tires on the old fashioned way, by hand. Moral of the story......try not to buy anything made in China and if you do, check it out first before you depend on it to work. Till next time, I'm..........Wade in the Shade.

MEN WITH FIRETRUCKS
By Tumbleweed Smith Carroll Choate drills water wells all over west Texas. He has had his business since 1957. He started it while he was working at the oil refinery in Big Spring. Prior to the official start of Choate Well Service he did the work for his family and friends at no charge. He knew the procedure well because he grew up taking care of windmills. In 1957 he was drilling a well for an uncle and Carroll told his uncle he was going to have to charge him and the uncle said that was fine. “It didn’t really seem to make much difference if I did it for free or got paid for it,” says Carroll. “I’d rather get paid for it.” Carroll lives in the country near Moss Creek Lake on the outskirts of Big Spring. He is 90. Recently he bought a fire truck, a 1950s model that had been in use in Stanton. Usually men buy fire trucks because they’ve always wanted one just to have for grandkids and parades. Carroll sure plans to do some of that for sure, but he has a special use for his fire truck. He plans to put out fires. “We live out here and there’s not a fire station nearby, so if we have a house fire it’d
burn to the ground before a fire truck got here.” He has already used it to put out some grass fires. Carroll named his fire truck Gladys, his mother’s name and painted her name on the doors. He says she always liked fire trucks. The truck has a tank that holds 750 gallons of water, 5 minutes’ worth of spray. It has all the bells and whistles with a bunch of hoses, lights and a siren that sounds like a musical instrument. I have met several men who have fire trucks. Bob Robertson, who owns radio station KAIR in Humble (don’t pronounce the H), has owned two of them. He has a friend named Clinton, a former Fire Marshall in Humble who is a member of the IFD (Involuntary Fire Department). He buys and sells fire trucks. One day he told Bob that everybody needs a fire truck. So Bob bought one. “I was going to a car show with my wife,” says Bob, “and there were 4 fire trucks. I turned into a 5 year old. I got so excited and I asked some of the guys standing around if they owned the fire trucks. Sure enough, one of them was my friend Clinton who
said ‘Bob, when are you gonna buy a fire truck?’ A few days later I went to his place and saw this big 1962 La France. It was running with that big Detroit 671 engine going chug chug chug and I just melted. It was complete with generator, axes, big old siren and flashing lights.” During the 6 years he had that truck Bob drove it in some of Houston’s biggest parades “My brother in law played Santa every year I had it. We would go to these apartment complexes near downtown Houston where underprivileged kids lived. Some of them never had a chance to see Santa Claus. We’d pull up with the flashing lights and siren blasting and he’d be up there stately looking, it was a sight to see. And the kids just loved it.” After his brother in law passed away Bob traded that fire truck for a 1973 model. He kept it a few years, then sold it. He is without one now. www.tumbleweesmith.com

Wednesday, January 19, 2022 PUNISHMENT RANGE
Fifty individuals were arrested and booked into the Chambers County Jail between Sunday, January 9 and Saturday, January 15. Warrants from last week are also as followed. The individuals have been magistrated and formally
informed of the charges against them. However, just because these individuals were arrested and magistrated does not mean they are guilty of the crimes they are charged with committing. Also, not everyone charged with a crime
is alleged to have committed the crime in Chambers County, but perhaps was simply arrested in Chambers County on outstanding warrant(s) while in Chambers County. Instances in which individuals were arrested on outstanding
warrants, their original conviction and the reason they are on probation or parole, if available, is included in parenthesis set.
• First degree felony: punishable by up to 99 years or life in prison and a $10,000 fine. • Second degree felony: punishable by up to 20 years and a $10,000 fine. • Third degree felony: punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. • State jail felony: punishable by up to two years in prison. • Deferred adjudication probation: typically offered to the first time offenders. Defendants’ judgement is deferred until later, if ever. If they successfully complete the terms of their probation, they are not judge and thus have no criminal conviction in connection to the offense. However, if they accept deferred adjudication probation but fail to abide by the terms of their probation, they could be sentenced to the maximum time in prison allowable under the law without the benefit of a trail by jury. • Class A misdemeanor: punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $4,000. • Class B misdemeanor: punishable by up to six months in jail and a $2,000 fine.

Sunday Observations from Christy
Hey, Beautiful!
The piece of ground looked like long gouges in the earth left behind to fill in with water and become overgrown with weeds. However, as we continued the tour, our guide explained that these were planned ponds to grow specialized plants. At the proper time these plants would be transplanted to help reclaim land that had been lost to subsidence or erosion. When we look in the mirror, or when we look others, what do we see? Do we see something useless and ugly? In Ephesians 2:10 the “Guide” of the universe sees us this way, “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.” Danny R. Biddy, Chaplain: Chambers County Sheriff’s Office & Fellowship of Christian Cowboys

You know, I’ve been asked many times why I haven’t run for some type of office. I do care for my community. I want to help. I want to see change. But the political climate of the last 15 plus years, even on a local level, has become absurdly intrusive. Bottom line, I won’t run because I won’t put my family through a mud fest. I’m not perfect, I never was perfect, and someone somewhere would dig up an artifact The Texas Veterans Land Board (VLB) kicked off its monthlong campaign to send Valentines cards to the nearly 1,000 residents of its nine State Veterans Homes. The VLB urges Texans to take part in this mission to show these courageous men and women that they are an integral part of our communities. “We are humbled and privileged to provide care to so many of our nation’s heroes,” said VLB Chairman George P. Bush. “As we approach Valentine’s Day, I challenge all Texans to take a minute of their time to show their appreciation of these men
of my past, and blast it. For political gain. That is 100% the only reason. To win. To sacrifice any good they have, to bash me as their opponent. So for any of you who wonder, why doesn’t she run for office….. well there it is. Sadly, I also think it’s a large reason why many will no longer seek out even a school board position. Because they don’t want to deal with it. They don’t want someone blasting on social media some fault they are perceived to have. It doesn’t have to be factual. It doesn’t have to be true. You can post a half truth that is taken as Gospel. In this world of ever changing times, can we go back to a time when political opponents get together and state their plans? Their dreams? Their hopes for the
PAGE 4
future. How they are going to attain these things. What their plans are to better your area, to directly affect your family, and then work their plans. We have many races in our area coming up. MANY. These are races that will directly affect your family. We have governors, judges, district attorneys, senate members, and more that will come up for election in 2022. Many will start with primaries in March, so the mud fest has begun. If I have one bit of advice, especially on local races, you have the ability to talk to the majority of these candidates one on one. Get out and go meet them. Call them. Ask what they have planned, how their thoughts align with your families needs. Step away from
social media. Step away from the he said/she said. Educate yourself. For what matters TO YOU. Then vote. Happy Sunday peeps….. as you navigate this year, with elections and all that entails, please remember whoever you bash, has a family and loved ones. Those loved ones love them, regardless of their thoughts on Covid, their affairs, their prior voting history, or if they skipped class in 10th grade. If your kid wouldn’t want to read it about you online, or in the press, please don’t propagate it about someone else. We win by sharing dreams, and working towards them….as a community, as a state….as a country. When all we have is anger and dislike for our opponent, what are we offering as a solution? Be better people.

WOODS, WATERS, and WILDLIFE
FAREWELL TO A MAGNIFICENT CAT? By John Jefferson
About 10% of outdoor writer’s work is outdoors -- in the woods or along waters. The rest is spent staring at a computer or trying to reach an information source. I’ve learned a lot during 54 years’ work, but what I don’t know could fill a library shelf. Most work is pleasant. But now and then, a sadness arises that gets me down. Losing friends affects everybody. Pet owners grieve for lost pets. Even cats. Dog and horse owners -- particularly hunting dog owners
Welcome Neighborhood Net Readers!
-- may feel it more. Some of us are affected when animals are wantonly killed or die naturally. But I’m not an animal rights activist. We hunt. And eat a lot of venison, fish, and other game. It’s healthy and delicious if you know how to prepare it. If you don’t, there are plenty of wild game cookbooks that’ll help. This column was inspired by the January 5 death of a “senior citizen” ocelot. “Obediah,” or “Obi,” as the staff of The Texas Zoo in Victoria called him, lived two years longer than the record for confined ocelots. He was 22. That saddened me. In researching this column, I felt for the few remaining ocelots in Texas. They are still with us but are endangered and on their way down a oneway road of no return. They once ranged from the Big Bend along the Rio Grande to the coast and up-coast to the Louisiana border and even into the Big Thicket. Now, they’re restricted to dense brush on the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge near Harlingen and on scattered ranchland in lower South Texas. I’ve only seen one – caged at a shop in Nueva Laredo 50-years ago. It was strikingly beautiful -a long-tailed, spotted cat resembling a miniature jaguar. Some weird people, like surrealist painter Salvadore Dali and other
unrealistics, tried to make pets of them. Most failed. My friend, Dr. Michael Tewes, a highly credentialed wildlife professor at the Cesar Kelberg Wildlife Research Institute at Texas A&M-Kingsville is the nation’s top authority on ocelots. He has relentlessly researched the unique little cats for over 35 years in South Texas and Mexico. Shortly before the cartels virtually shut down visits to that part of México, I was fortunate in getting to see some of the dense brush Dr. Tewes trapped ocelots in located over 100-miles south of the border. A graduate student of Mike’s presented a stimulating talk about their work while we were there. I don’t know if Mike used Obi’s bedding, but some used it for its scent to help trap ocelots for research. According to Mike, there are 25 ocelots on the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge and another 50 on private Brush Country ranches. He dismisses previous efforts to recover ocelots as unsuccessful and instead endorses the more favorable habitat element on private ranches. “Ranchers must be a major element … for ocelot conservation,” Tewes said. He added that translocating ocelots from northeastern Mexico is also necessary. I’m praying it works.

2022 Toyota ShareLunker Legacy Class Season Kicks Off with Pair of Entries from O.H. Ivie
It didn’t take long for the first pair of Legacy Class largemouth bass of the 2022 Toyota ShareLunker season to find their way into angler’s boats. It was more than fitting that Tyler Anderson from Austin and Wendell Ramsey, Sr. of San Angelo, landed 14.48 and 14.92 – pounders respectively during week one of the season at O.H. Ivie. Last year, the fishery produced 12 of the 23 Legacy Lunkers during a remarkable 2021 season. Anderson hooked his personal record Legacy Lunker Wednesday Jan. 5 using an Alabama rig in about 28 feet of water. Anderson, who grew up in Austin and has always wanted to catch a 10-pounder, set out to do a series of YouTube videos called “10 Days for a 10” targeting big largemouth bass. He selected O.H. Ivie to begin the series and reeled in seven and five pounders on the first day. On day two, the first fish of the day proved to be the fish of a lifetime for Anderson. “I stumbled upon a school of what looked to be eight or nine fish,” said Anderson. “My cast ended up being a little too short and landed right on top of where they were. My Alabama Rig fell right into the school of fish, but I didn’t even have to retrieve the lure. I lifted it right up and started my retrieve and the fish was already on there. I’ve known about O.H. Ivie for many years and last year’s success with ShareLunker’s reinvigorated my desire to get out there.” Anderson plans to continue his video series with some stops at additional lakes
along the way. He will have this catch posted in a couple of weeks and hopes another Lunker may land in his boat during this journey. “I have wanted to be a part and contribute to the ShareLunker program for a long time,” added Anderson. “When I quickly weighed the fish in my boat and saw the scale, I told myself my fishing for the day is done with this lifetime catch. I headed into Concho and everyone there was great. It was all about taking care of the fish until TPWD personnel arrived. This fish did great, and we made the transfer for its trip to Athens.” Ramsey, who is a fishing guide in West Texas with a lot of experience on different lakes, secured his Legacy Lunker on an umbrella rig with 3.5 rage tail swimmers Saturday, Jan. 8. Ramsey was asked by a good friend to take their grandsons fishing. “We started out working some spots for white bass and black bass to get a few bites for the kids and have a good time,” said Ramsey. “It was slow, and we moved around the lake to some different spots before we circled back to where we started. I spotted a fish suspended in about 14 feet of water and quickly grabbed a fishing pole. I sent the cast past the fish and slowly let it go down to about eight feet before I started reeling. The fish hit the bait and when I set the hook it didn’t budge so I knew it was a really big fish. The battle started and I eventually brought it into the boat with the dip net.” Once the fish was in the boat, Ramsey instantly
knew it was over 12-pounds but had no idea it would top the 14-pound mark until he got it on his digital scales. “I asked the boys to go with me and witness this whole process with the Toyota ShareLunker program and I think they really enjoyed it,” added Ramsey. “While we waited for the truck to come pick up the fish, I took the boys back to their family’s boat to let them continue fishing. What a special time for me and them as well.” Once Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) Inland Fisheries biologists were notified Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, they quickly got on the road to collect and transport “ShareLunker 609” and “ShareLunker 610” to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens, where biologists are providing them top-notch care. Biologists plan to attempt to spawn them to make bigger, better bass to stock in and enhance fishing in Texas lakes. “This is a great start to the 2022 collection season,” said Kyle Brookshear, Toyota ShareLunker Program Manager. “After the historic 2021 season, it seems fitting that the first two entries come from O.H. Ivie. Many predict another record season for trophy bass catches across the state and with the 2022 season underway, time will soon tell.” During the first three months of the season (Jan. 1 through March 31), anglers who reel in a 13+ pound bass can loan it to TPWD for the ShareLunker selective breeding and stocking program. These anglers can call the ShareLunker ho-
THE HOMETOWN PRESS
tline at (903) 681-0550 to report their catch 24/7 until April 1, 2022. Anglers who catch and donate one of these 13+ lunkers earn Legacy Class status, receive a catch kit filled with merchandise, a 13lb+ Legacy decal for their vehicle or boat, VIP access to the Toyota ShareLunker Annual Awards event and a high-quality replica mount of their Lunker fish from Lake Fork Taxidermy. These anglers will also receive entries into two separate drawings- a Legacy Class Drawing and the yearend Grand Prize Drawing. Both drawings will award the winner a $5,000 Bass Pro Shops shopping spree and an annual fishing license. The year-round Toyota ShareLunker program offers four levels of participation for catching bass over eight pounds or 24 inches in Texas. The 2022 season offers an opportunity to join
the special club of premier anglers who have submitted a Legacy class ShareLunker. Anglers who enter data for any lunker they catch greater than 8 pounds or 24 inches during the calendar year 2022 also receive a catch kit, a decal for their vehicle or boat and an entry into the year-end Grand Prize Drawing to win a $5,000 Bass Pro Shops shopping spree and annual fishing license. ShareLunker entry classes include the Lunker Class (8lb+), Elite Class (10lb+), and Legend Class (13lb+). Once a lunker is reeled in, anglers need to enter the catch data on the Toyota ShareLunker mobile app – available for free from the Apple App Store and Google Play – or on the Toyota ShareLunker online app at TexasSharelunker.com. In addition to providing basic catch information, anglers can also provide a DNA scale sample from their
lunker bass to TPWD researchers for genetic analysis. The Toyota ShareLunker Program is made possible in part by the generous sponsorship of Toyota. Toyota is a longtime supporter of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation and TPWD, providing major funding for a wide variety of fisheries, state parks and wildlife projects. Prize donors including Bass Pro Shops, Lake Fork Taxidermy, American Fishing Tackle Co., Stanley Jigs and Sixth Sense Lures also provide additional support for this program.
