What does a walrus eat?

Walruses find and eat shellfish like clams from the sea floor. They also enjoy sea cucumbers and mussels. Adults will sometimes hunt fish. How many clams do you see here?

Follow the steps to learn how to draw a walrus. 1

Massive means really big. Marine animal means an animal that lives in or near the ocean. A walrus is both of those things—a massive marine animal. A walrus lives both on land and in the water in cold northern areas. They have tusks, whiskers, and flippers.

Janice D Bloodgood Janice Bloodgood was born April 8, 1947 in Huntsville, Texas. She went home to be with the Lord, the night of July 4th, 2022 at 75 years of age. Janice will always be remembered for her kindness and sweet personality. She loved her family and friends immensely and would spend hours on the phone talking with everyone. She was funny and playful and enjoyed laughing and telling a good joke-laughter was often at the center of any conversation with our sweet Janice. In her spare time, she enjoyed painting, crocheting and playing games. More than anything, she enjoyed spending time with her family--especially her children and grandchildren-and she had close relationships with her extended family as well, including her sisters and brothers-in-law, cousins, nieces and nephews. Janice loved her weekly lunches with her brothers and sisters-in-law. She and Buddy enjoyed traveling and have taken several trips to different states during their retirement. In 1965, Janice graduated from Huntsville High

School, where she met her future husband, Roger “Buddy”. She worked as a telephone operator for a few years before starting her career with Texas Department of Corrections. Janice retired from the MSCP department after 20 years of service. Janice was predeceased by her parents, Ray and Flora McMillian, her sister, Dorothy Reynolds, and her grandson, Carson Bloodgood. Janice is survived by her husband, Buddy Bloodgood, to whom she has been married for 53 wonderful years, her daughter, Kristi Wilson, and husband, Scott Wilson, and her son, Barry Bloodgood. Janice has four grandchildren--Kaylin, Colton, Brynn and Charlotte-and one great-grandchild, Keegan. Janice is also survived by her brother, Tommy McMillian, and wife, Lori McMillian, and her brother, William McMillian, and wife, Carolyn McMillian. Janice has had a strong faith in God since she was a young girl. Her sister-inlaw, Carolyn McMillian, prayed these verses over her the past few months. Isaiah 41:10 “Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you. Surely I will uphold you with My righteous hand.” Psalm 46:1-2 “God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change.

And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea.”

David Anderson, Sr. David Michael Kjell-Anderson, Sr. was born in Lufkin, May 6, 1942, to A.K. and Esther (Christiansen) Anderson and passed away July 5, 2022, in a Conroe hospital. He graduated in 1960 from Lufkin High School and attended Stephen F. Austin State University. David, Sr. was in sales for many years in Lufkin and Huntsville. He later served as the Assistant Emergency Management Coordinator for Walker County. In high school he was active in the Angelina County YMCA. In that capacity he attended the state convention where he presented a proposal to the state legislature to add white stripes on the outside edge of all state highways to reduce night-driving hazards. The proposal was accepted and those white stripes are still on the outer edges of all state highways. He loved baseball and coached Little League teams in Huntsville for many years, and he was an avid fan of the Houston Astros. He was a member of Faith Lutheran Church. He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters Ju-

dith Ellen Anderson, Elsie Kilough, Gloria Bounds, and Mildred Weeks; brother A.K. Anderson, Jr; nephew Michael Romano; nieces Yvonne Romano Wells and Sylvia Thigpen. Survivors include his son and daughter-in-law David and Erica Anderson of Nacogdoches, Texas; daughter Laurie Ellington of Cypress, Texas; stepson and wife Joey and Dyani Gibson of Portland, Oregon; granddaughters Bonnie and Gracie Anderson; grandson Ryan Ellington; sister and brother-in-law Sonja and Havey Morgan of Lufkin; and a number of nieces and nephews.

Harry “Butch” Richard Thiele, III H.R. “Butch” Thiele III, Huntsville, TX, passed away peacefully in his sleep on July 6, 2022 at the age of 79. Butch was born August 5, 1942 in Yoakum, TX to Harry Richard Thiele, Jr., and Mary Virginia Sumners Thiele. Butch is survived

by his beloved wife, Judy Lannou Thiele, devoted son, Steven Thiele and wife, Sarah, treasured granddaughters, Marin (16), Maya (13), and Tessa (10), and sister, Joyce Thiele Baker. He is preceded in death by his parents, Harry Richard Thiele, Jr., and Mary Virginia Sumners. Butch graduated from Yoakum High School in 1960. He attended Sam Houston State Teachers College and became a member of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity. In 1964, he graduated and sold insurance for a short time, even though his pas-

sions were teaching and coaching. His nearly 40 year coaching career took him to Hallettsville High School, Yoakum High School, Victoria Stroman High School, El Campo High School, then retiring at Pasadena Dobie High School after teaching and coaching the Longhorns for 18 years. Coach Thiele considered his players his sons, and his students his kids. Many share of the impact his investment made on their lives. These “sons” experienced his fierce love and passion in his mission to mold boys into responsible men, while

Walker County Press-Page 11 also undoubtedly experiencing his “tough love” side. Heck, they didn’t call him S.O.B. (Sweet Ole Butch) for nothing! He taught his kids to value and take responsibility for their own education, and his love of Shakespeare and literature was contagious. There wasn’t a day

that went by that he didn’t wake up wanting to go to work and pour into his kids. He commented numerous times after retirement, his one regret was that he spent more time with other people’s kids than his own son, whom he loved dearly. He spent the good years he had left

The Legal Corner by Sam A. Moak Pets ARE Family The information in this column is not intended as legal advice but to provide a general understanding of the law. Some of the information in this column was provided by the Humane Society of the United States. Any readers with a legal problem, including those whose questions are addressed here, should consult an attorney for advice on their particular circumstances. Many of you know that my son, Jacob, was fortunate enough to be one of Texas A&M University’s mascot, Reveille’s caretakers last year. I am an Aggie, Class of ‘88, and thought I knew a lot about Aggieland,, but my appre-

ciation for Reveille and her care grew watching Jacob compete and then care for her. I have always had a dog and loved pets, so I understand how close we get to them. I have helped many folks here in Huntsville who want to make special provisions for their pet family. A few years ago I did some research and found the Humane Society has some very good information in this area. Pet trusts have become increasingly popular in recent years as older pet owners are looking for ways to ensure their pets will be well cared for when they’re no longer able to do the caring. Therefore, this week’s column deals with things you should

know when considering your pets in estate planning. Most wills deal with providing for loved ones upon the death of the person writing the will. However, “loved ones” usually is limited to spouses, children and other relatives. If your house is like mine, your family also includes your pets. We talk to them like family, feed them and care for them like family, and, when a pet dies, we grieve for them like family. However, when planning for the future we often overlook our furry friends. Should an unexpected illness, accident or death occur, it is a good idea to have in mind a family friend or neighbor who is familiar

with your pet that can act as an emergency caretaker. Carrying an “alert card” in your wallet that lists the names and phone numbers of your emergency pet caretakers would be a good idea, also. Post removable “in case of emergency” signs on your doors or windows telling how many and what type of pets you have. These notices will alert emergency response personnel during a fire or other home emergency. The best way to make sure your wishes are fulfilled is to make formal arrangements that specifically cover the care of your pet. It is not enough that long ago a friend verbally promised to take care of your pet. A Will takes effect only upon death, and may not be probated and formally recognized by a court for days or even weeks. This does not mean you should not include a provision in your Will for you pet. It (contd on page 5) just means you should explore creating additional documents that compensate for the Will’s limitations. Unlike a Will, a trust can provide for your pet immediately and can apply not only if you die, but also if you become ill or incapacitated. When you create a trust for your pet, you set aside money to

be used for its care and you specify a trustee to control the funds. However, trusts can be expensive and complicated. A power of attorney may be more suited to your situation. Powers of attorney authorize someone else to conduct some or all of your affairs for you while you are alive. Powers of attorney have become standard planning devices. Such documents can be written to take effect after you become incapacitated. They are simpler than trusts and do not create a legal entity that needs to be maintained by formal means. Provisions can be inserted in powers of attorney authorizing your attorney-in-fact (i.e., the person designated to handle your affairs) to take care of your pets, expend money to do so, and even to place your pets with permanent caretakers if necessary. I will not mention any names, but I have been asked in the past if a person could request a pet be euthanized after their death. A similar clause would prevent the remarriage of the surviving spouse. Thank goodness these of type provisions would probably be ruled invalid. I would also suggest you consider The Stevenson Companion Animal Life-Care Cen-

Thursday July 14 , 2022 ter at Texas A & M University (The Stevenson Center). Established in 1993, the Center provides a way your beloved pets can be cared for when you are no longer able. You may find more about the Center at http://vetmed.tamu. edu/stevenson-center. Reveille IX, the most recently retired Aggie Mascot, is a resident of The Stevenson Center, so if you visit, you might just meet some Aggie Royalty. While there is a plethora of information on the internet in this area, I caution you to be careful. What you find on the internet may not be valid under Texas law. Therefore, before making formal arrangements to provide for the long-term care of your pet, seek help from an attorney licensed to practice law in Texas, who can guide you in preparing the legal documents necessary to protect your interests and those of your pet.

Sunday Observations by Christy

I realize what I’m about to say will put me in the “old” person category. I’m perfectly fine with that. But hear me out. Yesterday our community lost a police officer. A 71 year old officer who was off duty, mowing his yard late due to this ridiculous heat we have. As he mowed, a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed left the road and hit him. It has now come out the driver was drunk as well. Folks. First off, the high rate of speed did

not shock me at all. I don’t think many even acknowledge a speed limit anymore. Am I a perfect driver? No. I got a warning Memorial Day weekend for speeding, but it was a WARNING. I wasn’t going ridiculously fast! The amount of aggressive, fast, and reckless driving I see when out, is insane. I realize you are in a hurry. I realize you may be running late. But for the love of my sanity, YOUR LACK OF PLANNING IS NOT

WORTH MY LIFE….. or yours. Hear me out when I say your loved ones would rather you be a few minutes late than gone forever. We read it constantly in various community watch groups, that people are driving crazy fast in our rural communities. WHY? Just because we are rural doesn’t mean laws are removed. Honestly our country roads are probably equally dangerous, with animals, children, and more that can dart in front of you. And I don’t even know what to say about driving drunk at 8:15 at night. Y’all. JUST STOP. Stop being selfish. Stop being so impatient. Stop thinking you are above the law. This man was mowing his yard. THATS IT. He had given his life to protect you and I, and lost his life mowing. Because of a selfish choice. I don’t know either of the men involved in this tragedy on a personal level. I have the utmost respect for any level of law enforcement. I know people make mistakes. I know this was a tragic accident. But again, it was avoidable. You have a life lost, and a life that will never be the same.

Because the man who caused this accident probably did not think he was drunk. Felt he was fine. If we are all honest the majority of us at some point have made this same bad call. But…now 2 families lives are flipped upside down, due to poor judgement. I’m not sure I have a “happy Sunday

Thursday July 14 , 2022

peeps”in me this week. I know the aggressive driving I see at 7 am on a weekday is enough to rattle an experienced driver. As you travel about this week, try leaving a little earlier. Try driving a bit slower. Try arriving at your destination a few minutes early, not skidding in on 2 wheels while endangering yourself and others. And put

the keys away if you are drinking. Limit yourself if you are out drinking and know you will be driving. And while you are at it, say a prayer for the loved ones of both of these men. Their worlds will never be the same. Due the the decision made by one to get behind the wheel, and drive.

WOODS, WATERS, and WILDLIFE

NEED A PLACE TO HUNT? By John Jefferson

Even if you’ve got a lease, yours probably lacks the variety of game offered by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s (TPWD) Public Hunting Program. There are nearly 10,000 permits this year in 62 hunt categories. Drawings for hunts for whitetails, mule deer, pronghorn, turkey, alligator, dove and guided packages for exotic species from other continents, plus native bighorn

sheep are what I’m talking about! And entries on the drawings range from $3 to $10, depending on which hunt(s) interests you. If drawn, hunt fees are separate. Many hunts are on public land; some are on private land. Number of hunters on each is strictly controlled, unlike public land hunting elsewhere. My friend, Kelly Edmiston, TPWD’s public hunting coordinator, reported that drawings this year include selections for U.S. Forest Service Antlerless Deer Permits, both adult

and youth hunts, 18 e-Postcard Selections, and hunts conducted on 10 National Wildlife Refuges (NWR) in Texas.” Having the $48 Annual Public Hunting Permit (APH), is required for some hunts, but that permit also allows other public hunting. The TPWD release didn’t mention Loyalty Points, but Kelly said they still apply. For every year you apply for a hunt but aren’t drawn, you get a point, meaning an extra chance the following year. Points can add up. I had about 23 or 24 points before

Walker County Press-Page 13

COVID struck and I ceased applying. I think I lost them by not continuing to apply. Some lucky hunters apply once, however, and get drawn. I often checked on availability of “stand-by hunters” the day of hunts on some areas since TPWD likes to fill slots of no-shows for management purposes. On the Daughtrey Area, one year, I showed up

along with others and was drawn to hunt. Twenty minutes into the hunt on that sweltering afternoon, a really mature 10-point buck came close enough to be hit with a slingshot. I had a doe urine patch pinned to my boot and he was probably following the scent. I had taken my outer shirt off to cool down after hiking in. Sitting there in a white t-shirt, I didn’t want to end my hunt

The public hunt application deadline for whitetailed deer hunts is September 15. For all other species hunt deadlines, Google “TPWD Drawn Hunt Deadlines”. The aoudad ram pictured is not the one the columnist shot during a TPWD public hunt but it seemed to enjoy chewing up empty camera film packages, back in the day. Photo by John Jefferson.

Lifestyle in a mere 20-minutes. The TPWD guys had convinced me that there were huge bucks in that pasture, so I argued myself into letting that one walk. It would have been the largest deer anyone bagged if I had pulled the trigger. I still think about that. On another hunt in the Pedernales State Park, my son and I got drawn as stand-byes, and both scored. He shot a doe, and I downed an aoudad sheep. Exotic game are “extras” on some hunt areas. New areas this year include the Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge and Powderhorn State Park. Devil’s Sink Hole and Lost Maples SP are back in the program. The first drawing deadline (for alligators, pronghorns, doves) is August 1. August 15 is for archery deer, exotics and javelinas. For the rest, see https://tpwd.texas. gov/huntwild/public/public_hunt_ drawing/ or google “TPWD Drawn Hunt Deadlines.” Are ya feelin’ lucky?

Party Time

A young boy in our church told his mom that he wanted to ask Jesus to come into his heart. The mom began to tell him what the Bible says we must do for that to happen. After the boy’s prayer, his mom said that the angels in heaven rejoice (throw a party) when someone does what he just did. The next morning it was very stormy with lots of lightning. As the young boy looked out the window he said, “Mom, the angels must be throwing a big party for me. Just look at all the fireworks!” In Luke 15:10 the Bible says, “There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Have the angels thrown a party for you yet? Danny R.

Water......it’s a simple thing, but it can surely cause issues. Some of those issues are too much water and some of those issues are not enough or in my current condition.....none. Ok, a little background. I’ll go back to the February freeze of 2021(I think it was 2021), you know, the time that it got so cold and we had ice and snow. I had drained my water in my house in Winnie, or I thought that I had, but evidently not because I came home to several busted pipes. Fortunately, the pipes that burst were fairly inconsequential pipes like the one going to the dishwasher or the one going to the spare bathroom in my home office. We simply capped them and resumed living in the house, noting that we would fix them later when we had time. Evidently, we haven’t had much of a need for the services rendered from those appliances that were connected to those busted pipes because it’s been about 18 months and I still haven’t fixed those busted pipes. I’ll get there

one of these days. The next major occurrence with water was with my cows. There is a creek on the place, but it’s been pretty dry up there and the creek ain’t running. It has standing water in some holes, but that water gets pretty nasty when cows drink out of one water spot and do their business in the next water spot. We need a good rain to flush out everything and replenish the water holes. Therefore, last Spring(2021), I decided to hook up to the local rural water supply. The first somewhat major water bill was when the cows knocked the water trough off of its foundation and the trough was leaning and the automatic waterer just kept running. I must have caught that one fairly quickly because the water bill was only about $500. The second major incident was this Spring. I was worried about the pipes this past Winter, but never had a problem during the cold weather. However, after all of the cold weather and when I thought everything was clear, I went up

one day to check on cows after having not been for a couple of weeks and was greeted by a really wet pasture. As I was driving in, I was thinking to myself that we must have had a really good rain for it to be so wet, but then I saw the plume of water shooting out of the 3/4 inch pipe that feeds the water trough. After all of the weather in the teens, the pipe decided to burst when it was in the 80’s. That 397,000 gallons of water cost almost $2,000. The third incident was about a month ago when the rubber hose between the plastic line and the automatic waterer developed a small split in the line. That one was not as bad as the busted pipe, but it was still about $400. However, the granddaddy of them all is the current situation that I’m in. My brother called me Sunday evening as I was driving to check on the cows’ water situation to tell me that my lawn service guy in Winnie had broken an outside water faucet off smooth with the brick on the back

side of the house when he was mowing my yard and that there was water running around the front and back of the house. He had turned the water off, but no telling how much water escaped while no one was home. Here’s the problem with that scenario. I don’t have a lawn service. I have no idea who mowed my grass and broke the pipe. I’m further perplexed by him or her continuing to cut the grass even after the

Walker County Press-Page 14 pipe was broken and then it looks like they tried to fix it by digging out the mortar around the stub of pipe inside the brick. And, then I’m totally confused by the fact that nobody called me, nobody went to the meter and turned the water off, they didn’t leave a note or anything, they just left with a stream of water shooting out the side of the house. I had to get these papers out and therefore haven’t had time to figure out this situation,

but I will be working on this problem first thing in the morning. In the meantime, I have no water in the house and have to go to the barn to get water for things like flushing commodes and washing hands. So, if anybody knows who mowed my grass, tell them to contact me so that I can pay them for their services.......right after we subtract the plumbing bill. Till next time, I’m...........
