Treasured Long Time Justice of the Peace Laid to Rest
B u c s Ta m e t h e W i l d c a t s 3 4 - 1 7
Many signs of dedication to his Country and fellow man were displayed last week in Winnie during the funeral procession for Judge Ray Chesson, but none larger than this display of the American Flag.
By Wade Thibodeaux The Honorable Ray Chesson, longtime Justice of the Peace from Hamshire was laid to rest last Thursday, October 21, 2021. He passed away after a lengthy battle with cancer. His visitation was Wednesday, October 20, 2021 at the First Baptist Church in Hamshire, Texas and his funeral was held the next morning at the church before internment at Fairview Cemetery in Winnie, Texas. Both sides of State Highway 124 in Winnie were lined with people young and old that wanted to show their respect for the Justice of the Peace that so many had called their friend for a very long time.

Trinity Bay Takes No Action on General Managers Contract
Cody Croley and Andrew McGovern make a presentation to TBCD Board members and staff about an engineering project on the study of the Mayhaw Bayou Watershed.
By Wade Thibodeaux The Trinity Bay Conservation District Board of Directors met in regular session on Wednesday, October 20, 2021 at 9:00 am. at their office located at 2500 State Highway 124 in Stowell, Texas. Probably the single most important matter on the agenda was the last item on the agenda and it was to Discuss and take action, if necessary, on General Managers contract. The board retired to executive session at 10:47 am. and remained in executive session for a little over an hour, only to emerge and announce that they were not taking any action on the General Managers contract. James Gibson,
TBCD's General Manager has a contract that expires at the end of December 2021 and the board will have to deal with the details very soon. In other action, the board heard from their engineers about an engineering project that had been authorized under previous management to study the Mayhaw Bayou Watershed. The engineers reported that this was an engineering project with no construction funding attached to it and they were about halfway through the engineering portion and wanted direction from the board as to whether to proceed or pause the project. While much discussion was held (contd on page 4)
Garrett Reves(#16) waltzes into the endzone after busting through the defensive line on a quarterback keeper last Friday night. By Wade Thibodeaux The East Chambers Buccaneers traveled to Kirbyville last Friday evening to take on the Wildcats and came away with a 34-17 win. The Bucs started off a little rocky as they received the kickoff, but fumbled it away to set the Wildcats up in good field position. The defense stiffened and only allowed a field goal, but the Bucs started the game in the hole. After a few hard fought possessions, the Bucs got on the scoreboard and led 7-3 at the end of the first quarter. East Chambers
scored again and held Kirbyville scoreless in the second frame to take a 14-3 lead into the locker room at the halftime break. The Bucs put a little distance between themselves and the Wildcats by outsourcing them 14-7 in the third frame to lead 28-10 after three periods and then the Bucs found the endzone one more time, but missed the extra point on a bad snap in the fourth quarter. Kirbyville scored in the fourth as well, but it was too little, too late and the clock expired with the final score of 34-17 in favor of
the Bucs. East Chambers quarterback Jacoby Perrault(#10) was replaced during the second quarter to allow a sore ankle to rest, but he did complete 2 passes on 2 attempts for 25 total yards. That was the only passing for the night as his replacement Garrett Reves(#16) kept the ground game churning with 3 carries for 53 yards and a walk-in touchdown. He was assisted in the backfield by Hayden Reeves(#6) who had 144 yards on 23 carries and 2 trips across the goal line and KK Morris(#5) who sped
Devillier Holds Campaign Meet and Greet
Chambers County ESD No1 Commissioners Hold Short Meeting By Wade Thibodeaux The Chambers County Emergency Services District No1 Board of Commissioners met in regular session on Wednesday October 13, 20212 in the Fire Station(WSVFD) located at 825 State Highway 124 in Winnie. The meeting was called to order at 6:15
� O � S
pm. and was adjourned at 6:41 pm., lasting only 26 minutes. There was no major action at the meeting, mostly a bill paying session and updates from ESD Administrator Wayne Wilber on the activities for the month. Those activities included repairs to both Fire Engines as they (contd on page 4)
his way to 124 yards on only 5 carries and an equal number(2) of touchdowns. Overall the Bucs had 341 yards of total offense with 316 on the ground and 25 through the air. The night seemed to be plagued with turnovers(3 fumbles) and costly penalties at the most crucial of times, but as Head Coach Russ Sutherland said after the game " We had a few folks in unfamiliar positions and the lack of touches during the week caused some of those miscues". He continued "It was just a struggle tonight, we self destructed a whole bunch and we just found ways to make it difficult on ourselves tonight, but I have to give it to our kids, they found a way to pull it out and they played hard and made plays when they had to make plays to overcome all of the times they stubbed their foot during the game". The Bucs will take on the Woodville Eagles this Friday night at Buccaneer Stadium at 7:30 pm. and it will be Senior night as it is the last home game of the season. GO BUCS!!!!!!

Wade In the Shade by Wade Thibodeaux This week we are going to talk about the tale of two people. I know one of the two people for certain, but the other person in this equation is a little bit undecided at this point in this article. Thoroughly confused??? Yeah, me too. Here's the situation. The first person that I'm completely sure of is my son Wyatt. The second person is either me or a new person that Wyatt just met this Sunday afternoon. Before I get into the meat of this conversation, let me set a little background information. I heard my parents say it and I've often wondered how this next generation is going to survive when I am gone, but maybe I received a little glimpse into the future today. Parents have been saying those things for years and it seems that each new generation continues to find a way to manage to get along in this world despite the doubts of the previous generation.
The parameters have surely changed, but each new generation finds a way to get by and mostly thrive in this world. Now, I was having a conversation with Calvin the other day and he explained to me that we were 60 years old and it was time for us to begin consolidating in our world. I'm sure that I was talking to him and getting his opinion on a new purchase of something or another and he proceeded to lecture me on the fine art of getting rid of things as opposed to acquiring additional inventory. I listened to him for a little while and then I asked him if he was driving down the road in the new truck that he had recently gone to Denver, Colorado to retrieve or if he was in one of the other vehicles that he had not gotten rid of when he purchased the truck from Denver. Before he could answer, I continued with my line of questioning
Opinion & Entertainment about the recent hay baler that he had ventured off to Pearland, Texas to purchase for parts and just exactly where he was going to park the heap of scrap metal while he robbed parts off of it to repair one of the other 6 or 7 balers that he currently owned. He never answered the questions that I had posed to him and he simply responded with a question of how was my trip to Gainesville, Texas to retrieve the items that I had purchased in an online auction. He followed suit by not allowing me to defend myself before he asked his second question of when I intended to make a trip to Hearne, Texas to drag back the other recent purchase that I had made and where I intended on storing that rather large piece of scrap iron. We both kinda conceded that neither one of us were in the mode of minimizing our enormous holdings and changed the subject and continued with other conversation. Now all of that, to tell you that I am constantly monitoring Wyatt for his actions on Facebook marketplace. He is always looking for something to buy and I'm always telling him no because in my mind he doesn't need anything. A
few days ago, he started in on me about a stereo cabinet that he found on Marketplace. I listened to this for a couple of days and monitored his progress in negotiations. He communicated with the person online via messenger and got all of the pertinent details such as the dimensions, contents of the deal, and so on. The day finally came when it was time to make a decision and he presented all of his findings and I told him that I couldn't make a three hour trip because it was Sunday and I was working on the paper. No problem, he negotiated with my ex wife's boyfriend(whom Wyatt has gotten to know fairly well
THE HOMETOWN PRESS
and I'm thankful for their relationship) and worked out a deal for him to help him retrieve the cabinet. Wyatt headed out and returned about three hours later with a beautiful cabinet that fit perfectly in his room and a whole basket of old 78 vinyl records. I'm talking about 45 or 50 records that are in pristine condition(some still in the wrapper) from some of the best artists. Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn, Hank Sr., Frank Sinatra, and more were included in this basket. He got all of the records and the cabinet for $40. Turns out, the lady that was selling the stuff was consolidating and minimizing. Now, I don't
PAGE 2
know if the second person is me or the lady that sold the cabinet. She actually followed through on her plan of minimizing and I'm thinking about having Wyatt start looking for some stuff for me because he seems to do a much better job of buying than I do. I am always lecturing him about the difference between wanting something and needing something and maybe I need to look in the mirror when I'm having that conversation. Maybe the problem is not the new generation, but the old generation.......I think these young kids are going to do just fine. Till next time, I'm........Wade in the Shade.

BALLINGER’S HAUNTED HOTEL By Tumbleweed Smith
Dan LaFave teaches computer technology at Grape Creek High School near San Angelo, where he lives. He moved to West Texas from the valley where he investigated reports of ghosts. One was in the home of a deputy sheriff who worked nights. “When his wife, home alone, washed all the dishes at night and put them in the cabinet, she’d walk toward her bedroom and would hear a racket. When she returned to the kitchen all the dishes that she had just put up would all be back out.” He is certified in the paranormal field and for the last 30 years has been on hundreds of spook searches. He has written a number of books on the subject and has been in broadcast and print media telling about his experiences. He and his wife Connie (who also hunts ghosts) formed a company in 2008 called Graveyard Shift Paranormal Investigations. After his mother died and left him some funds, he purchased the Old Park Hotel in Ballinger, a former brothel that is now a popular destination for people looking for paranormal experiences. “When we bought the
building we were told that the place was haunted by as many as 30 spirits. When we moved to San Angelo I had never been to Ballinger before, but something about the town was really reaching out to me. The whole time we walked around in there for the first time I just felt like we were being watched, that eyes were on us. And all of a sudden this old woman’s voice filled the whole hallway around us and said hello. And she said it in a welcoming manner, almost like she was welcoming us to the building.” He and Connie give tours and groups can rent the entire 10-room hotel for $300 a night. Dan had an experience the first night he slept in the hotel. “All of a sudden I feel like a woman’s hand is caressing the top of my head. I felt for my wife next to me but she was fast asleep. I opened my eyes and there was a woman standing 14 inches from my face. She was pale white and she had an old black dress on. She was just looking at me. And I’m looking at her. When I got up nobody was there.” There are other spooky things at the Old Park Hotel. “You will hear what sounds like a cowboy walking along
the hallway late at night. You can actually hear his spurs jangling. He even turns the door handles on occasion. People have heard that and opened the door but there’s no one in the hallway. “Something else weird happens a lot of times. We get what are called cold sensations. In the back of the hotel there is no air conditioning at all. In the summer it gets a little warm. What’s interesting is when you’re standing there in a group with everybody sweating all of a sudden you feel a cold draft come from nowhere. You’re just chilled to the bone. We’re not making this stuff up. It’s very real. A lot of history does seem to mix with the paranormal so anywhere you have historic places there seems to also be paranormal related events happening. Our job is to confirm that people aren’t going nuts when they see or hear unusual things.” www.tumbleweesmith.com

Wednesday, October 27, 2021 PUNISHMENT RANGE
Thirty-Seven individuals were arrested and booked into the Chambers County Jail between Sunday, October 17 and Saturday, October 23 . 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
Ready?
Backup quarterback, Case Keenum, was asked if he would be ready to start in place of their injured starting quarterback. Keenum replied, “You don’t have to get ready, if you stay ready.” “Sanctify Christ in your heart and stand ready to give an answer to the hope that is in you.” (1 Peter 3:15) Danny R. Biddy, Chaplain: Chambers County Sheriff’s Office & Fellowship of Christian Cowboys

Can we talk about community involvement? About getting factual information and not hearsay? I know we are all busy. I know meetings are not fun. I know we have kids, jobs, life, and honestly we are all tired by 5. I also know if I want answers, I need to schedule the time to get involved. If I want input, I need to show up. If I want FACTS and not hearsay, or opinions, I have got dedicate as much energy to finding
out….. as I do to complaining. Folks, day in day out, there is a meeting happening that most likely will affect your life. Be it a City Council, Commissioners Court, Board of directors, TXDOT or the local PTA, somewhere is an opportunity for something to be learned that will DIRECTLY affect you or your family. In the next couple of weeks we have two meetings happening in our community. October 28, 5:30 pm, a meeting is being held at the high school auditorium to give facts about the upcoming bond election. Up for discussion and ANSWERS, is the request for a bond to build a new concession stand. November 2, 5:30 pm, a meeting is being held at DD6 to get community input on a proposed detention pond that will
directly affect the Green Acres, Old Green Acres, Grand Oaks areas. Both of these meetings are after 5. Both have been set for the convenience of the community. The last informational meeting the school board had for this (they have offered three) had ONE person in attendance. I am a big fan of social media when used correctly. But nothing frustrates me more than people complaining that everyone is doing everything wrong. That nothing can be improved, that someone else’s ideas are dumb. If you have better ideas, I promise you your community needs you to share them somewhere other than social media. They need you involved. So you know the facts! Not someone’s opinion, that was shared with you. Get involved and make your own decision, not one of

your brothers neighbors second cousins dog. Happy Sunday peeps. This is an ongoing issue everywhere. When my daughter was young I promise you the same parents that showed up for a kindergarten Halloween carnival work shift, are the ones that chaperoned project graduation and everything else for 13 years About 20-30 kids parents carried the weight for 150 kids in her class. While a large chunk complained and never showed up. Go get involved. Go show up. Go get facts. They are right there for the taking, you just have to make the time to be as dedicated to community service, as you are to community complaining. Stepping off my soap box now…… I’m sure I have a meeting to attend somewhere.
Trinity Bay Takes No Action (contd) and many questions were asked by the board members, ultimately no action was taken on this agenda item. The board did approve the renewal of the bank depository contract with Anahuac National Bank for two years and they also approved a grant/loan arrangement with the Texas Water Development Board for a project on Spring Branch Bayou.

2021 WHITE-TAILED DEER FORECAST- PART 1 By John Jefferson
Halloween decorations, or ghosts of droughts past? Deer populations and the number of mature bucks in the herd are influenced more by fawn crops from five or more past years than from last year’s conditions. See text. Photo by John Jefferson

SHOTS
“SE HABLA ESPANOL”
This forecast will be divided in half to provide adequate coverage for each region’s conditions. This column will cover the Hill Country (Edwards Plateau), Rolling Plains, and Pineywoods. Next week’s will include South Texas, Cross Timbers, and Post Oak regions. Habitat conditions are a tale of two time periods: Bad from January to April; Better from April into November.
Alan Cain, TPWD’s able white-tailed deer program leader, annually provides an accurate assessment. Cain recalled 2020 ending with 91% of Texas being dry and droughty. Winter weeds were scarce. Deer were hungry. Then the Valentine’s Day Massacre struck. Ice and snow didn’t kill deer, but they delayed spring greenup. Brush species suffered top-kill. In April, rain began. By late May, most of Texas had received significant rainfall. Habitats exploded. Pregnant does were nourished and antler development boosted. Cain expects “an exciting season.” Last season’s harvest was 53% bucks and 47% does. More does need to be removed. A good acorn crop and plenty of quality native forage will keep deer from feeders early. Cooler weather will help. THE HILL COUNTRY The Edwards Plateau has the highest deer population – an estimated 2,055,618 whitetails – more than many other states. Hunter success is about 79%. Traditionally, Llano, Mason, and surrounding counties have the highest densities, ranging between 48 and 265 deer/1,000 acres. Hunter preference for shooting bucks first has led to a critical imbalance in the buck/doe ratio. Many more does need to be taken. Excellent fawn production in 20132016 should mean more bucks 5.5-years old, though. Statistics indicate that over half of the bucks harvested were 4.5 and older. Mature bucks can be expected be-
tween Hondo and Del Rio, north of Highway 90. Many will show up throughout the region, however. The western portion of the Plateau lost roughly 50% of its deer from anthrax in 2019 and doe harvest may still be limited there. Rolling Plains Prior to 1990, Texas hunters seeking large antlered deer headed to the South Texas. Then, bucks began conspicuously showing up in the Big Game Awards from northeast of Abilene. Eastern Rolling Plains (ERP) deer populations is smaller than the other ecoregions, and the western (WRP) population is smaller than the ERP, ranging between 25 and 28 deer per 1000 acres. Both populations seem to be increasing, according to Cain. Projected number of 5.5- and 6.5-year-old ages are high in both these regions. Large property sizes, light hunting pressure, and more interest in deer management have helped. Hunter success is 69% in ERP; 65% in WRP. Harvest per 1000 acres was 6.1 in ERP and 2.3 in WRP. Pineywoods Deer populations are higher here than the past three years. Density of 25/1000 acres around Nacogdoches and Lufkin is highest in the region. Properties managed for quality deer habitat are higher. Based on past fawn production, hunters should see more 3.5 and 4.5 -year-olds. Buck harvest trends indicate 53.3% were 3.5 years and older – probably due to antler restrictions. (See TPW Outdoor Annual.) Hunter success was 57%.

Thank You Ricelands Hospital
A BIG THANK YOU to the Riceland Medical Center of Winnie. Especially Danny Thompson, Dr Bobby Rollo and Dr Boutte and the staff of dedicated nurses: Kellie, Jackie, Caitlyn, Neeve, Arielle, Carol, Chris and night nurse Shelly Abram for the love and care you all gave my husband, Pastor Larry Meaux. You all made his journey easier before he went home to be with Jesus. It was such
a comfort to our family! I do not believe that he could have received better care. My husband's mother - Mrs. Meaux worked for Dr. Bill Rollo over 40 years. What an awesome legacy to have Dr. Bobby Rollo follow in his fathers foot steps, in the same community. May God continue to bless all of you. Sincerely, Delta, Larry Meaux Jr, Letty and the entire Meaux Family

NOTICE OF RATE CHANGE REQUEST
On October 5, 2021, Entergy Texas, Inc. (“ETI”) filed an application to amend its Transmission Cost Recovery Factor (“TCRF”) with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (“Commission” or “PUC”). The application was assigned PUC Docket No. 52624. The proposed TCRF is requested in accordance with the Public Utility Regulatory Act § 36.209 and 16 TAC § 25.239. A TCRF allows a utility to recover its reasonable and necessary costs that have occurred since the end of the test year in the utility’s last base rate case for transmission infrastructure improvement and changes in wholesale transmission charges to the electric utility under a tariff approved by a federal regulatory authority. In its requested amendment, ETI is seeking recovery of costs for transmission capital investments it incurred from September 1, 2020 through July 31, 2021. ETI also seeks to recover approved transmission charges that are not otherwise being recovered through rates. The proposed TCRF as amended would result in total TCRF retail revenues of approximately $66.1 million, which is $15.1 million in incremental annual TCRF revenue beyond ETI’s currently effective TCRF. This $15.1 million amount would be a 1.57% increase in ETI’s annualized nonfuel revenue requirement as compared to revenues approved in Docket No. 48371, ETI’s most recent base rate case, and a 1.01%
LEGAL NOTICE increase in ETI’s overall annualized revenue requirement including fuel costs as compared to such revenues. The impact of the rate change on various customer classes will vary from the overall impact described in this notice. The effective date of the proposed rate change would be the date that a Commission order adopting the proposed TCRF is issued. ETI has requested that, if no hearing is requested, the Commission adopt an order approving the proposed TCRF at or before its currentlyscheduled open meeting on December 16, 2021. All customers in ETI’s Texas retail rate classes are affected by this request. Persons with questions or who want more information on this filing may contact ETI at Entergy Texas, Inc., Attn: Customer Service—2021 TCRF Case, 350 Pine Street, Beaumont, Texas 77701, email tcr@ entergy.com, or call 1-866-981-2602 during normal business hours. A complete copy of this application is available for inspection at the address listed above. The Commission has assigned Docket No. 52624 to this proceeding. Persons who wish to intervene in or comment upon these proceedings should notify the Public Utility Commission of Texas (commission) as soon as possible, as an intervention deadline will be imposed. A request to intervene or for further information should be mailed to the Public Utility Commission of Texas, P.O. Box 13326,
To order, contact Wade Thibodeaux at (936) 581-5161 Texas Media Corp
Community Austin, Texas 787113326. Further information may also be obtained by calling the Public Utility Commission at (512) 9367120 or (888) 782-8477. Hearing- and speechimpaired individuals with text telephones (TTY) may contact the commission at (512) 936-7136. The deadline for intervention in the proceeding is 45 days after the date the application was filed with the commission. Therefore, ETI has requested that the deadline be November 19, 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the preferred method for you to file your request for intervention is electronically, and you will be required to serve the request on other parties by email. Therefore, please include your own email address on the intervention request. Instructions for electronic filing via the “PUC Filer” on the Commission’s website can be found here: https:// interchange.puc.texas. gov/filer. Instructions for using the PUC Filer are available at: http://www. puc.texas.gov/industry/ filings/New_PUC_Web_ Filer_Presentation. pdf.
