Texas Game Wardens Wrap up Another Busy July Fourth Weekend of Statewide Enforcement

As Texans hit the waterways across the state to recognize July Fourth, Texas Game Wardens were out in force to ensure everyone stayed safe on the water. “Texas Game Wardens partnered with thousands of law enforcement agencies across the country for Operation Dry Water to focus on impacts of alcohol on boaters during high-traffic weekends like July 4th,” said Cody Jones, Assistant

Commander for Marine Enforcement with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. “These efforts are represented in the work we did during the July 4th weekend.” In addition to issuing 1,560 citations and 1,976 warnings for various boating safety law violations, wardens arrested 49 individuals for Boating While Intoxicated (BWI) and filed eight other charges for Driving While In-

toxicated (DWI). Additionally, another 23 people were arrested for various other charges. Texas Game Wardens also conducted multiple search and rescues over the holiday weekend. Additionally, they assisted with 38 reportable boating accidents at several Texas lakes and rivers. Game wardens were involved statewide with numerous waterway assists or other incidents. In Hunt County, game

wardens responded to a reported drowning in the swim beach at West Tawakoni City Park. The patient was airlifted in critical condition but now is expected to make full recovery. Willacy County game wardens conducted a boating rescue just outside Port Mansfield Harbor. A recreational vessel capsized within the intercoastal waterway on the way into Port Mansfield. Game wardens rescued four occupants who were in

the water without personal floatation devices (PFDs). All occupants were safely taken to shore without injuries. Game wardens patrolling South Padre Island encountered a boat with too many people on board. When wardens approached to conduct a safety check, the boat took on water over the bow and three passengers fell off. No one was injured and all passengers were transported safely to land. Texas Game Wardens

also dealt with one boating fatality and 10 open-water fatalities on Texas waterways over the Independence Day weekend. The boating-related fatality occurred on Canyon Lake. Open-water fatality locations included the Lake Ray Hubbard, West Galveston Bay, Lake Houston, Lake Conroe, Guadalupe River, Lake Travis, Lake Texana, Canyon Lake and the Gulf of Mexico.

Moore For Your Money by Ken Moore The PPP Recession Strategy Recession warnings are all around us. Just this week, consumer confidence plunged to a new frustrating low, brought on by continued high prices. To be clear, we are not in a recession— although I see signs cropping up all over: the tepid stock market, rising interest rates, cooling in the housing sector, and soaring gas prices. Even the price of copper, often viewed as a leading economic growth indicator, has dropped to a 16-month low. Plus, I see the bond market showing weakening investor appetite. In these times, many of us look to respected experts for clarity and direction. You have likely seen the recession warnings and predictions from major money center banks this year. As a seasoned community bank leader, I am very interested in these opinions. However, my lending background also directs me to the opinions of entrepreneurs, a fascinating mindset that has fueled growth and expansion in all parts of Texas. I have particular interest in global entrepreneurs in the fields of energy and new technology. Which leads me to the

PPP recession strategy of Elon Musk, a firm believer that a recession is inevitable. If PPP sounds a little familiar, the pandemic Paycheck Protection Program kept all of us hopping here at Anahuac National Bank over the past two years in support of our business community. But this is not that PPP, this is Elon Musk’s take on how to weather the recession storm and come out unharmed on the other side. Let me explain. Predict, prepare, and persevere. Predict: Always stay multiple moves ahead. With recession as a part of market cycles, we are all certain to experience one at some point. When you see the signs I’ve mentioned of rising inflation, labor shortages, and a downward stock market, pay attention. Musk points out that Uber successfully looked ahead to fulfill an unmet need and build their business. Netflix foresaw the weakness of Blockbuster and pretty much killed it off. Think in terms of what will be rather than what is, where are we headed. Prepare: Get ready for what is ahead. Knowing what you are up against is only half the battle. Using what you know to prepare for the

prevent problems, not not agree more. Let us Bank as a resource. We spending time and stress know your concerns and always appreciate your future is ideal. Musk fixing them, and I could use Anahuac National business. operates as if those future concerns are already happening. He recommends holding off on big risks, cutting back on spending, reducing overhead, and avoiding highinterest debt. This may sound familiar since it is a great deal like my advice in several previous articles. Persevere: Get ahead. Businesses survive not just by the correct reaction to conditions, but by good planning and execution. This is how to persevere, don’t stop or slow down, repeat the PPP strategy to stay ahead or get even further ahead. In your business plan or in your personal financial goals, keep reaching for the future. If you start operating your business or personal finances as if a recession is already here, you will not feel the effects nearly as deeply when the recession officially hits. This is a lesson for businesses and families, keep risk out of your planning. In other words, if you don’t have the funds, don’t make the purchase. If emergency savings are low, make plans to shore them up. Cut corners (and luxuries) in your budget to keep expenses low. Musk advocates using time to

Milton Frank Dahlke Milton Frank Dahlke, 93, of Huntsville, Texas, born June 13, 1929 in Sandusky, Ohio to Frank and Edna Luedtke Dahlke, went to meet his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on July 12, 2022. As patriarch of the Dahlke family, he kept in close touch with his siblings and their children during his lifetime. He was an active member of Faith Lutheran Church since 1996. Milton was confirmed at Zion Lutheran Church in Sandusky, Ohio, where he also graduated from Sandusky High School in 1947. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and was first stationed at Ft. Dix, New Jersey in 1947 and attended engineering school in Ft. Belvoir, Virginia and jump school in Ft. Benning, Georgia. He served with the 11th Airborne Division in Sapporo, Japan and Ft. Campbell, Kentucky. He garnered 19 jumps in his three years of military service and was honorably discharged in 1950. He attended Fenn College in Cleveland, Ohio and, later, the University of Houston. At a USO dance, Milton met the love of his life, Mae Evelyn Page, and they were married in her hometown of Russell-

ville, Kentucky on July 23, 1950. Sandusky was briefly their home before moving to Elyria, Ohio, where he worked fulltime at Electro Alloys and part-time as a draftsman for Bob Edwards Architecture. He developed a life-long passion of designing homes and special projects. He designed and built their first home in 1954, and it was the only home in their neighborhood to have a built-in dishwasher. Three children were born to their union in Elyria, Ohio. The family moved to Pasadena, Texas in 1960 where he was employed by A. O. Smith as a draftsman and mechanical engineer, retiring from AK Steele (Armco) in 1984. He then worked for Baker Hughes until permanently retiring in 1996. He designed his retirement home in Elkins Lake, Huntsville, Texas and moved there in 1996. Not only did Milty play two or three rounds of golf each week at Elkins Lake Golf Course, he played cards with close friends weekly, birdwatched, sang in the choir at Faith Lutheran Church, the Huntsville Men’s Choir, and also the Houston Lutheran Chorale for a number of years. He was a supporter of the H.E.A.R.T.S. Veterans Museum of Texas in Huntsville. He enjoyed traveling and attended 11th Airborne Division reunions throughout the country over the years. At Mount Fuji in Japan, Milt developed his love of skiing and was able to

share that with his children and many friends, mostly in Colorado ski areas. He enjoyed calligraphy and created a border of scripture that adorned the walls of a room at Faith Lutheran Church. Painting was another one of his hobbies. His oil paintings are enjoyed by his family and will be for future generations. He could also repair or fix anything whether it be mechanical, wood, or metal. He was an inventor and generated patents for his employers over the years. Being of German descent, Oktoberfest celebrations were high on his list in organizing, hosting, and attending at every opportunity. Dah created signs, backdrops, and yard décor for any holiday or occasion. In addition to designing two of his own homes, Milton also designed homes for a sister, son, a daughter, and eldest grandson. At the age of 90, he hand drew his grandson’s 5,000 total sq. ft. home. The contractors and subcontractors marveled at the detail and quality of the drawings. Dah conducted three site visits, climbed stairs to the second story for inspection, and visited the completed home a couple of times. Milt loved living and lived life well. His favorite scripture was John 14:3, “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself, that where I am, there ye may be also.” His greatest desire was for his family

to be reunited together in Heaven. In addition to his parents, Milton is preceded in death by daughter, Deborah Dahlke Koudelik; granddaughter, Paige Koudelik Jones; sister, Doloris Dahlke Lastrapes; and brothers, Howard Dahlke, and Frank (Chauncey) Dahlke. Milton is survived by his beloved wife of almost 72 years, Mae Evelyn Dahlke; son, Jeffrey Page (Sandra) Dahlke; daughter, Jennifer Dahlke (Burton) Moore; grandchildren, Derek (Kelly) Dahlke, Devon (Michael) Taubin,

After 27 years at the university, he retired and began the life he enjoyed the most. Richard was the ultimate outdoorsman who loved working sun up to sun down as he enjoyed living off the land. He was an avid gardener, hunter and fisherman. Many people were lucky to share in his bounty whether it was his vegetables or his jerky

Walker County Press-Page 11 and sausage making talents. One of Richard’s favorites past times was ranching. He enjoyed raising cattle and baling hay. He looked forward to his daily visits to the feed store to share stories and laughter with friends. Papa, as he was lovingly known, was a proud father and grandfather that spent quality time and taught everyone values that will last a lifetime. He made sure they understood hard work but enjoyed telling

The Legal Corner by Sam A. Moak IMPORTANCE OF A POWER OF ATTORNEY 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.

Previously, I wrote about the importance of having a Texas power of attorney. In Texas, this instrument consists of a Durable Power of Attorney, Medical Power of Attorney, Declaration of Guardian, Directive to Physicians, Family and Surrogates and Disposition of Remains sections. While I often advise clients on the benefits of these instruments, far too often I spend a great deal of time cleaning up my client’s estate planning

As many of you may know, I have dealt personally with my father and his health issues. I can tell you from this experience dementia is a horrible desease. The terms “dementia” and “Alzheimer’s disease” can be confusing. Many people believe they are synonymous, but the two words mean different things. Dementia is a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer’s is the most

common cause of dementia. Alzheimer’s is a specific disease. Dementia is not. If diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or Dementia, act quickly. While nobody can promise something won’t be challenged, the earlier you put into place a power of attorney, choosing for yourself your agents, the less likely there is to be a challenge. You never know what could happen to you or when it might happen. So it is prudent to plan ahead by executing a Texas power of attorney. This allows you to choose who you would want to handle your affairs, deal with your doctor and healthcare provider, and even give advice to your chosen representative as to the type of care you desire. Having these documents in place ahead of time can save valuable time in the case of an emergency. Many of you may recall the story of a

young Florida couple, Michael and Terri Schiavo. Terri Schiavo had a stroke shortly after their marriage and was in a coma for years. She did not have a Directive to Physicians, Family and Surrogates and a long and painful legal battle ensued between her husband, Michael, and her parents. This painful saga continued for over 10 years. It took an order from then Florida Governor Jeb Bush, to remove a feeding tube. The time, grief and legal expense expended by this family could have been avoided with the instruments I have discussed. Anyone can fall off a ladder, suffer a stroke, or be the victim of an accident. Age has no bearing on this. These cases are good examples of why planning ahead and having a Durable Power of Attorney, Medical Power of Attorney and Directive to Physicians, Family and Surrogates

is important. If you would like to plan ahead and have one or all of the instruments discussed in this column prepared be aware Texas law places certain requirements as to the form of the documents discussed. Therefore, you should consult an attorney. Note, if you had any of these documents prepared for you while you resided in a different state you should have a Texas attorney review the document to make sure it complies with Texas law. Sam A.

Sunday Observations by Christy

There is this show on Sunday mornings, if you get up at ridiculous o’clock like I do, called Inside Texas Politics. It’s a 30 minute snippet of what’s happening in the great state. Some weeks it’s enlightening with things I haven’t heard. Other weeks it’s the normal stuff. But we are gearing up for a big gubernatorial run this year. And fund raising is ridiculously high.

Combined, our two candidates raised 52 mil last month. You read that right, 52 million dollars. For politics. Imagine what could be done if your schools were give that 52M? Or even a portion of that? I will help you. What could your school district do to help the youth of our great state, with $50,000? With 1,026 school districts in Texas that is what it comes

down to. And I think what bugs me the most is that is in ONE MONTH. Oh and that the “official kickoff” of the campaign season is Labor Day. 6 weeks away. No doubt this will get ugly, mud will be flung, dirt will be uncovered, with the majority being fodder for the average voter. It will be shared, factual or not. It will be posted, truthful or not. Name calling, making fun of one another, and typical grade school playground behavior will be how many determine who they will cast a vote for. And that is terrifying. I will never say to vote for one candidate or another. I will never tell anyone who to vote for. Not even my kid. What I will say is educate yourself. No one knows what will affect you personally more than…. YOU. You have 4 months. Start doing your own research.

Find out where your candidate stands on the issues you feel are important. Then show up and vote. I can not fathom how much money will be raised for the next Presidential campaign. At a time that every single home in America is feeling a financial

Thursday July 21 , 2022

impact due to inflation. It’s completely rational that we throw millions at political advertising. Happy Sunday peeps. If you are not paying attention to the political stage yet, you need to. The “powers that be” , whether they are your school board members, Council-

men, county judges, senators, the President, or any position out there, are directing this country. If you don’t like where we are, you have one chance to voice that opposition. It’s not thru social media either. Show up and vote. For someone.

IT’S SNAKE SEASON!

By John Jefferson

Nature has countless obstacles, along with the delightful pleasure of being out in it. Snakes are part of it. Rattlesnakes inhabit almost all of Texas. Cottonmouth water moccasins – short, fat, dark colored critters -- are in and around practically every waterbody, large and small. Copperheads may be the most dangerous since they are easily camouflaged in dry leaves or pine

needles, have potent venom, and are easily stepped on or sat upon. Or near. A female turkey hunter once told me she answered Nature’s call in the pre-dawn darkness one morning before settling into her turkey blind for several hours. She felt something sharp and figured she had been scratched by a sharp limb on the ground, or maybe green briar. It has wicked thorns. Later, in the shower, she let out a scream when the hot water hit her – uh -- backside. She had been snake-bitten. Proba-

bly a copperhead lying in the leaves. She said tissue sloughed off for six months afterwards. Coral snakes with their body’s red and yellow bands touching each other are seldom seen and aren’t as aggressive as Texas’ other three venomous snakes. But their powerful venom can be deadly. Most shyly move away as you approach, though. If bitten by any snake, get to a doctor quickly (but calmly), taking either the DEAD snake or a picture of it for identification. I don’t harass non-poi-

sonous snakes, but if bitten by one, I’d take identifying evidence for the medical staff. A good, closeup photo is probably good enough evidence, provided you get enough light on the subject. A med student working in a small medical clinic in southeast Texas while attending medical school told of a man

who came in saying he had been snake bitten. He said he brought the reptile that bit him for identification. The “doc” asked where it was. The man lifted his forearm which was wrapped tightly with a towel. The man said “All I could do was wrap it quickly with my other arm before it got away.” That caused a little

Pictured is a “diamond-back water snake,” a common, non-venomous but occasionally aggressive reptile. Venture close enough, and you might get bitten. They’re a threat to any fish on a stringer, and will sometimes hold their position, but are not normally aggressive toward humans, unless threatened. If bitten by any snake, seek medical attention quickly, but calmly, taking identifying evidence of the snake with you. Photo by John Jefferson.

Lifestyle excitement untii the “doc,” who was a hunter, declared it a non-poisonous water snake. The man was treated for possible infection and released. My eldest son lives in a fashionable neighborhood in old West Austin. He went out to the garage about bedtime at the end of June, this year, and discovered a huge snake. It was against the wall with its head at one two-by-four strut and its tail by another. He recognized it as a rat snake, and just shooed it out of the garage. He stepped off the distance between the two-byfours. The snake was six-feet-long. Rat snakes are one of the most beneficial snakes in Texas. They help control rats and mice. Big ones are also among the most frightening to encounter. I’ve heard numerous big rat snake reports lately. But none from Tarrytown which has little traditional snake habitat. Rat snakes can turn up anywhere -- even in Tarrytown. Especially when hungry.

Your Nose Where It Doesn’t Belong?

I laid my large brim straw hat down while I finished a fence job in my pasture. My curious young bull just had to put his nose inside my hat to investigate. I laughed as the hat stuck tightly and the rodeo was on! When it finally came off, he left it alone. “If you suffer, it must not be because you are… a meddler in other people’s affairs.” (1 Peter 4:15) Danny R.

Disclaimer: This column is the opinion of Publisher Wade A. Thibodeaux and may contain subject matter on a variety of topics, but usually contains humor of some description. An occasional serious thought may be thrown in to entice the reader to think.

The problem with playing by the rules is that not everybody plays the same way. I guess that I’m just venting, but I was driving through a grocery store parking lot the other day and for once, I was in no particular hurry. As I approached the entrance to the grocery store, a lady stepped out of the doors and started to cross the driveway. Of course, I stopped to let her cross and about the time that she got halfway across, she stopped and turned to speak to a group of guys that were just coming out of the doors. She just stood in the middle of the street, having a conversation with her friends, family, whatever they were and was just oblivious to any of her surroundings. She eventually started back towards the group and they were just kind of milling around with some of the guys now acting like they wanted to step out into the road and cross the street. So, I just sat there. I was just watching them milling around and cutting up, having a good time

after some grocery shopping before they finally all headed in the same direction and crossed the street. I don’t think that they did it on purpose. I just think that they were so wrapped up in their own little world that they had no idea of the fact that they were inconveniencing me. Fortunately, as I said, I was in no particular hurry that day and I just sat and marveled at their total lack of respect for anybody else in the world. The problem that I have with it is that had I pushed the envelope and honked the horn at them, I would have been the bad guy. And even worse, if I had eased the truck through the roadway, then I would have been totally wrong and no telling where the scenario would have ended up. It’s like there is no winning in some situations. Once again, in a perfect world, I would have stopped, they would have crossed the street in an expeditious manner, and I would have gone on about my business and they would have

done the same. However, we don’t live in a perfect world. Some people just don’t think of how their actions cause issues with other people. The same can be said about people paying attention in general. I attended a Grand Opening of a security company the other day and I was talking to the owner and we were talking about different scenarios where bad guys try to take advantage of good people. He said, and I agree with him, that most of the situations could be avoided or have different outcomes if people would simply pay more attention to their surroundings. I am guilty of this scenario on a few occasions, but I try to pay attention, especially at night, when I’m fueling my truck at a gas pump. I look around and there are people talking on cell phones with their back to the pump and it would be so easy for somebody to sneak up on them. I try to keep changing directions and observing what is going on around me so that nobody walks up on me

I don’t know all of the details, but I’m thinking of the race car driver who was stabbed at a

Walker County Press-Page 14 filling station this past week. Maybe, his outcome could have been different. I’m also writing this shortly after the gunman opened fire at a food court in a mall in Indiana. He was able to kill three and wounded two others, but he was neutralized by a citizen who was armed and trained and responded to the threat with force. The gunman had another 100 rounds of ammo and two additional firearms

with him and no telling how many he would have killed had the armed citizen not been there and responded. It’s getting wild out there folks, so please pay attention to your surroundings and try to not put yourself at a disadvantage as you go about your day. Ok, I’ve rambled enough, but please pay attention to what you are doing......for your own sake and for others. Till next time, I’m......... Wade in the Shade.
