Wade In the Shade by Wade Thibodeaux Coming to you from Vegas once again this week and it’s just a few days before I catch a plane back to Texas. Last week we talked about things that I learned the first week and this week we will pick up where we left off and talk about a few more things that I’ve learned in the last 10 days or so. One of the first things that I was informed about was that the Las Vegas Convention Center is evidently not located in the United States. The reason for that assumption is that no United States currency is accepted from any of the convention vendors such as the food and drink vendors. I’m guessing that the vendors that were set up selling their goods and services such as jewelry and hunting

trips would take cash if you happened to have enough on you to pay for the items, but if you wanted a soda water, bring a credit card. I felt really silly paying for a bottle of soda water with a credit card until I realized the price was $4.75 for a 20 ounce bottle. Then I quickly realized that it would be best to pay with a credit card so that I didn’t run out of cash. And then there was the Thomas and Mack Center where the actual rodeo was held and they would accept cash or card for drinks, but only cash for tips. Therefore if you paid for a crown and water with a card, then you had to leave a cash tip if you were so inclined. You could not leave a tip on the card

Opinion & Entertainment that paid for the drink. I inquired as to why this ridiculous rule was in place and was told that the vendor did not want to pay the credit card fee on the tips. I’m thinking that if there’s not enough margin in a $24 single drink to pay for a 2% credit card fee on a tip, then the operator of the business may want to look at some of his other expenses as opposed to the credit card fee on tips. Of course, you could always pay cash for the drink and the tip, but I refer to that running out of cash statement made a few sentences earlier. All in all it has been a great trip so far and I’ve had a lot of fun and experienced a lot of wonderful things over the last 10 days. I received an education about different events that were happening in addition to the National Finals Rodeo such as barrel racing and team roping in addition to the Junior World Finals for the little ones as young as 8 years old. Part of the fun for me is

visiting with people from all over the Country and it’s amazing how many people that we have as common friends. I ran into a guy from Washington State that was neighbors with some friends and clients when I was in the livestock publishing business and then I met a lot of new friends that I’m sure I will run into at rodeo events in the future. I was even playing poker one night

THE HOMETOWN PRESS

and visiting with this couple and finally we figured out that we were neighbors in Huntsville. It’s amazing that we all had to come to Vegas to meet up and acquaint ourselves with each other. I even ran into an old college buddy on the last day and we figured out that she had been here all week just as I have been and we never ran into each other. It’s been real and it’s been fun

PAGE 2

and I can’t wait to do it all over again next year. Remember to work hard, play hard, and communicate with people and it makes life so much more enjoyable. I’ll see you guys back in Texas next week and we’ll turn our attention to Christmas shopping that I am so far behind on. Till next time, I’m.......Wade in the Shade.

Tumbleweeds

THE SAME ADDRESS FOR 50 YEARS By Tumbleweed Smith

In the early 1960’s I attended a meeting of the Big Spring Little Theater in Dr. Milton Talbot’s house. On the way in, along the brick walkway leading to the center of the house, I felt like I was entering a work of art. I don’t remember what happened at the meeting but I do remember that house. I was single, just out of the Army and the house seemed like a sanctuary tucked away below street level with juniper lining the sloping driveway. I wanted that house and the secure feeling of stability it gave to family members and guests. When the Talbots moved to Austin the house stood vacant for a year. Perhaps it was too different to move quickly in the local real estate market. By 1971 I had worked away from Big Spring enough to know that Big Spring was where I belonged. I was married with 2 young sons. My wife Susan and I were ready to move. We needed more room. We had saved enough money to put a down payment on the Talbot house. We moved in on November 2, 1971. After living in it 50 years it still is like being in a work of art. I feel the same way I felt when I first saw it. It was designed by noted

architect Harwell Harris and built under the Talbot’s supervision in 195960. Harris had designed another home and one church in Big Spring (St. Mary’s Episcopal). When Lisa Germany, Harris’s biographer, brought him to our home he stood in our living room and said, “Thank you for taking care of my house.” We were flattered. That was 7 or 8 years after we had been in the house. Initially we thought it was so nice we didn’t want to change anything. But we finally got brave enough to put new paint on the walls, re-do some wall paper, flooring and draperies. The house is 70% glass and we’ve replaced all the windows and sliding glass doors. Back in November of ‘71 Kevin and BZ, 7 and 3 at the time, began to explore the canyon off the deck. They found two caves and learned they were called Lemon Cave and Rabbit Ears. Our dog, Brown Lady, accompanied them on their adventures. Sometime they would spend all day building forts or some other structure in the canyon. It had a dry creek bed but when it rained there were waterfalls and a running stream of water. In December of 71 we had

an open house and New Year’s Eve Party. Guests were greeted with a giant tumbleweed with more than 100 tiny light bulbs on it. We’ve had many guests, neighbors and family members over the years. One special one was bandleader Stan Kenton who sat on our deck and watched cardinals enjoying our birdbath. Thanksgiving has always been a big deal at our house and sometimes we had as many as 25 people over for turkey and football. We used to have family slide shows in our living room. Those were special times. Our sons and grandsons have sat in a big lacebark elm tree outside our dining room window. Sometimes they read, sometimes they just looked around, alone with their thoughts. We are grateful that our sons and grandsons, daughters in law and soon to be a great grandchild have always known where to find us. www.tumbleweesmith.com

Wednesday, December 15, 2021 PUNISHMENT RANGE

Thirty-Nine individuals were arrested and booked into the Chambers County Jail between Sunday, December 5 and Saturday, December 11. 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.

TP W D C l osi ng Oyste r Har ve st Are as in Ga l v e s ton Ba y a n d Espiritu S anto Ba y The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) is closing TX-1, TX-5 and TX-7 in Galveston Bay and TX-24 in Espiritu Santo Bay to commercial and recreational oyster harvest beginning at 12:01 a.m. Monday, Dec. 13, 2021. This closing is based on samples recently collected by TPWD showing low abundance of legal-sized oysters. TPWD

has worked with the oyster industry to develop criteria for closing areas to harvest. The criteria includes parameters for oysters when they fall below certain thresholds based on the abundance of legal-sized oysters (3 inches or greater) and the percentage of small oysters (2-2.9 inches). “Sampling results indicate the number of legal oysters is very limited in

these areas,” says Galveston Bay Ecosystem Team Lead Christine Jensen. “This closure is designed to provide some protection to undersize oysters so they can reach legal size. These areas will continue to be monitored by TPWD and will reopen when criteria thresholds are met.” As of Monday Dec. 13, these areas will be closed to oyster harvest on the

Texas coast: Galveston Bay - TX-1, TX-4, TX-5, TX-6, TX-7 Matagorda Bay - TX12, TX-13, TX-15, TX16, TX-18, TX-19, TX20, TX-21 San Antonio Bay - TX24, TX-26, TX-27 A map showing each of these areas can be found on the Department of State Health Services website.

6 months of work. Mom cleaned out, I hauled off, sold, shipped to family members, gave to grandkids, sold, and did I mention I sold??? But alas, the move of mom is done. Still have a few sold items to be picked up, but for all intents and purposes…. As well as blood, sweat and tears, it’s done. Mom is settling in here, I can breathe, my brother can stop wondering what hair brained idea I have…. Well for the moment. Just like anything, the cleaning out of a parents home is a learning curve. I’m thankful we took our time. That this was by choice, not necessity. But I wanted to share

some of the cool things we learned. That Nursing homes are thankful for books. That Animal care is happy for blankets, towels, sheets, and rugs. That going through old broken necklaces, and bracelets, that look like junk, is worth the effort. Heartfields in Beaumont paid well for that stuff! That cousins are super grateful for pics of their mom and siblings who have passed on. That excess holiday decor from years gone past, makes for great gifts. Just buy some new packaging and regift a memory. Then if you are blessed to have come from super talented genetics, museums will take old family paintings. Unfortunately, that talent did NOT make it to me. I have zip creativity. So what I also found is people can be kinda judgmental about said lack of talent. We have been blessed with family that were professional seamstresses, painters,

cooks, and more. As stated above, zero of that talent made it to me….. well maybe some of the cooking, I swear though I have never mastered my grandmothers roast. However I have my great grandmothers original Kitchenaid mixer proudly displayed in my kitchen. But our lack of sewing talent has led me to looking to rid us of a White rotary sewing machine in a case. Here’s the thing, I have learned you can not keep every single family item. Especially in a smaller home. So I posted to inquire is it worth anything. That’s it. Y’all….. when someone asks a value, can something be sold, an opinion on the best way to rid of it, just answer the question. No need to try guilting someone into keeping something. I have had people message me that I was selfish to not keep it, that it was

unthinkable to get rid of, and my favorite…… that my grandmother would be heart broken. UGH…..I don’t even have a closet corner to put this in. Literally we are FULL! Happy Sunday peeps…. Trust me when I say, this clean out process is HARD. I have now been in the middle of it with grandparents, my mom, and my dad and step mom from afar. As a bonafide history nerd, getting rid of older things is brutal on me. For the love of all, I have my dads letterman jacket. But I can not keep it all. When someone asks your thoughts, your expertise, to sell an item, THINK before you ask why something is being ridded. If you want to answer at all, answer what was asked. People getting rid of their loved ones things is brutal enough, without unsolicited guilt. Now…… anyone want a damned sewing machine???

Survivors include her daughter, Chloe Lewis and her husband, Shawn Chichester, of Winnie; mother, Barbara Manuel, of Winnie; brothers, Alton Racca and his wife, Amy, and Amos Racca and his wife, Sherry, both of Winnie; stepsister, Shawn Manuel and her partner,

stepfather, William “Billy” Manuel. A gathering of Ms. Racca’s family and friends was from 12:00 p.m. until 2:00 p.m. Sunday, December 12, 2021, at Broussard’s, 134 West Buccaneer Drive, Winnie. Her graveside service followed at Fairview

Pictured is a cottontail rabbit, profuse throughout Texas and preferred for food over the longer legged and longer eared, tougher jackrabbit. Texas’ rabbit populations may be at risk for other than good luck charms. TPWD biologists confirmed Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease in wild rabbits in the Trans-Pecos and Panhandle regions in 2020. This is a fatal and highly contagious disease among wild rabbits. If you see a dead rabbit, please report it to the TPWD wildlife biologist for the county where found. You can obtain the biologist’s contact information by calling 1 (512) 3898092. Photo by John Jefferson.

ARE RABBIT'S FEET GOOD LUCK? By John Jefferson

I had a rabbit’s foot when I was young. My parents or Uncle Pete gave it to me. I was told carrying it would bring me good luck. Maybe it does work. After all, I’ve lived through perilous times and survived some ill-advised events. Like the time in New Mexico’s Pecos Wilderness when I ignored advice to stay on the switchback trail, instead choosing a shortcut down the steep mountainside. About ten steps into my shortcut, I lost my footing and went

Welcome Neighborhood Net Readers!

helter-skelter, rapidly downhill for about 50feet of elevation, ending the descent with my head inches away from a huge, jagged boulder. Did the rabbit’s foot bring me luck by missing the rock? Or did my not having my rabbit’s foot cause my uncontrolled, downhill acceleration? Who knows? The origin of rabbit foot luck is unclear. Some say it sprang from a “hoodoo” belief that included ritualistic killing of a rabbit during a full moon. Others say it required a NEW moon. And if the rabbit can be dispatched atop a grave, all the better. But before you jump to the conclusion that New Orleans voodoo queen Marie Laveaux was involved, there’s no evidence of that. Blind Lemon Jefferson (no kin), the respected Texas Blues singer-songwriter, sang about rabbit’s foot good luck pieces, but people in Europe, Africa, and other realms believed in rabbit’s feet long before Laveaux and Blind Lemon came along. Rabbit hunting is fun. Living in South Texas, we harvested and ate quite a few. Cottontails are great, fried or baked. We shot rabbits out of a friend’s spinach field one night. There must have been a hundred when our headlights illuminated it. But one hunt was UNlucky. I was a new guy

in town. Word got around that I liked to hunt, and I got invited to hunt rabbits with some guys from the courthouse. We headed south on 281 to one of their friends’ ranch. Somewhere south of Premont, a coyote dashed across the highway, and someone yelled, “STOP!” Everybody bailed out and scurried to the trunk for their rifles. I was concerned, but being a guest, said nothing about the illegality of shooting from a roadway. I figured the coyote would be safely out of sight in the King Ranch brush before anybody could shouldered a rifle, anyway. I don’t remember taking mine out. I noticed the car keys inside the trunk. The last man getting his rifle slammed the trunk. Someone asked if anybody grabbed the car keys before it shut. No one answered. We just stood there looking like armed but helpless, bad little boys. It took almost an hour to take out the back seat and help the smallest guy through the narrow opening for the keys. That cut our shooting time short. We hunted until dark, dropping a few jackrabbits and a cottontail. Few eat jackrabbits, but I took one home for a grateful basset hound. I’ve wondered if not having my rabbit’s foot caused the unlucky delay. ¿Quien Sabe?

As December ushers in the season of hope and joy, we have some exciting news here at Anahuac National Bank. This month marks our 45th year of community bank service. Founded on the time-honored tradition of neighbor helping neighbor, a small group of local farmers, ranchers and businessmen got together in 1976 to charter and organize the only national bank in Chambers County. It may surprise you to know that we are still the only locally owned and independently operated bank in Chambers County. Our family of banks serving Southeast Texas are all true community banks and have been from the very beginning, we remain committed to our local communities today and as we head into the future. Our story is best told through the relationships we have built over the years. The businesses we have supported through growth and expansion, the families we’ve help with home ownership and home renovations, and the communities strengthened through our hiring of local people, paying taxes, and donating our time and financial support. This is the story of our values

and our commitment, and I am extremely proud of the progress we have made. We have grown from a single location in Anahuac to five locations: all locally managed with oversight by our founding Board of Directors. Our story is further defined by the outstanding team that is equally dedicated to providing personal, professional service— through daily acts of service and kindness I see that go above and beyond in assisting our customers. We would not be where we are today without them. In the midst of a continually active year of mergers and acquisitions, where we have seen many Texas banks sold to out of state and large regional banks, we are experiencing record growth. Thanks to our customers, Anahuac National Bank has achieved 154% asset growth over last five years. We have all worked hard to attain loan growth of 33%, Equity Capital growth of 84% and deposit growth of 176% since 2016. Impressive accomplishments given these years include setbacks from the pandemic and several natural disasters. Our region of Texas has proven

to be quite resilient and so are we. Our founders were dedicated to making a local impact upon their customers and the community. I am honored that today we carry on this legacy and continue to build upon it. Looking ahead, we will continue to provide innovative solutions for the future. Services like our customized real estate and homeownership lending programs to digital banking tools designed to increase our customer’s efficiency and satisfaction. Over the past 45 years, our goal has always been to create impact and make a difference within our communities. Helping people and businesses succeed has been our objective from day one. We are incredibly pleased to celebrate our 45th anniversary but what we are most proud of is our legacy of partnering with our communities. On behalf of our Board of Directors, management, and staff, we thank you for your continued loyalty and support. Our responsibility to you is to move forward together as your trusted financial partner. I wish you all a safe and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Texas State Parks and the Texas Historical Commission are hosting their biggest holiday season yet with more than 80 unique holiday events happening across the state. This year, 47 Texas State Parks and eight State Historic Sites are presenting themed guided walks, scavenger hunts and more. Anyone planning a trip to a Texas State Park is highly encouraged to reserve their day pass in advance since some parks are expected to reach their capacity limit. Day passes can be reserved online through the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) website or over the phone by calling (512) 389-8900. Anyone visiting Eisenhower Birthplace State Historic Site Dec. 11-23 can grab a self-guided tour packet, walk the grounds for free and learn about how Christmas was celebrated in north Texas during the 1890s (when Dwight Eisenhower was born) and 1940s (when the Denison community preserved the Birthplace house). Children’s craft

kits will be available while supplies last. For more information, call (903) 4658908. In South Texas, families can pick a spot in the day use area of Falcon State Park to view the Third Annual Falcon Lake Christmas Boat Parade from 7 p.m. -10 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 11. Visitors will be able to see decked out boats float by in cheerful holiday lights. Celebrate Boxing Day and stretch your legs at 9 a.m. Dec. 26 at Franklin Mountains State Park with an easy 1.5-mile hike to Agave Loop. Visitors should bring good hiking shoes, plenty of water and a Santa hat. The grounds of Kreische Brewery and Monument Hill State Historic Sites are being transformed with holiday lights during the evenings from 5:30 p.m.-8 p.m. Dec. 10, 11, 17 and 18. Guests will be able to enjoy the walking trail with holiday lights, live entertainment, refreshments, family activities and visit with Santa. For more information about
