Justice Is Served for Kids 6/15/21 9/14/21

Press Release - Justice Is Served will be a hybrid fundraising event this year with both in-person and online elements to it. The event will benefit the Fannin County Children’s Center and provide

critical support services to children, youth and families recovering from abuse and neglect. First United Bank is the presenting Diamond Sponsor of the event. “It’s our pleasure

to sponsor Fannin County Children’s Center’s Justice is Served,” said Alan McDonald with First United. “The volunteers, staff, and Board that serve children in need are unsung heroes. The Children’s Center’s mission aligns with First United Bank’s values of faith and family, as well as seeking to elevate the lives of others. In this case, there are many Fannin County children that can’t protect themselves or care for themselves and so need the center’s services to help them find a loving, safe and healthy place to live at a

Tickets and tables are on sale now at the Children’s Center and on their website. Ticket prices include dinner, drinks, desserts and an evening of fun. Fannin County Game Warden Randolph McGee will be the auctioneer for the Live Auction. Bidding in the live auction will be in-person only. Dinner will be served up buffet style by local judges, police chiefs, sheriff, DA and others in the justice system. Guests are encouraged to dress up and wear masquerade masks. The Baked Goods Auction and Silent Auction will be online and anyone with access to the internet can participate without purchasing a ticket. The Baked Goods Auction will be on Wednesday, Nov. 10. Bidding will open at 7:00 am and end at 5:15 pm. Winners can pick up their items at the Children’s Center the same day until 7 pm or on Thursday or Friday from 8 am to 5 pm. Bidding for the Silent Auction will start online at 7 pm on Wednesday, Nov. 10 and end at 9 pm on Saturday, Nov. 13. The online bidding software has many features similar to eBay. Bidders can

place a single bid and get text and email alerts when they are outbid. An auto-bid feature allows bidders to place their initial bid and maximum bid and let the software take care of bidding for them. The silent auction items will be on display at the in-person event on Saturday night. Winners who are present can take their items homes that Saturday evening. Winners who do not attend the inperson event can pick up their items at the Children’s Center on Sunday between 2-4 pm or during normal business hours Monday – Friday 8 am to 5 pm. There will also be options to mail most items to the winners too. Auction items will include many homemade baked goods, jewelry, home furnishings, hand crafted items, gift cards and gift baskets. Rick Bankston donated a beautiful hand carved eagle made of oak. Organizers are still seeking auction items to be donated. Proceeds from the event will provide services to children and youth including counseling, advocacy, forensic interviews and more. There is still time to become a sponsor of the event. Sponsorship and other event information is available at www.fanninccc. org or by calling Andrea or Sandy at (903) 583-4339.

We welcome Letters to the Editor on topics that would be of concern and interest to the community. The decision to publish is left to the Editor and Management.

Letter to the Editor The Fannin County Commissioners have completely lost my respect with their latest action to ban vaccine mandates. So, the County Commissioners think they know more about public health and vaccines and medical science than those who have devoted their lives to studying

these things. Wonderful. Tell me, Commissioners, how do you propose to alleviate the overcrowded emergency rooms and intensive care hospital beds in this state? Are you going to ration health care? Tell me, how do you propose to protect young school children who are too young for the vaccine?

When one of them dies from the Covid from an unvaccinated person, may we send their parents to your doorstep? Tell me, how do you propose to alleviate the understaffed and overworked nurses in the hospitals whose workloads have doubled now that the Delta variety of Covid is afflicting thousands of unvaccinated Texans? Tell me, how do you propose to slow down or stop this epidemic which has killed more than 650,000 Americans without requiring vaccines? It is primarily the unvaccinated people who are filling the hospital ICUs and funeral morgues right now. Apparently, you want more of that.

It’s sad when the Governor and the County Commissioners think personal freedom is more important than public health or the good of the state or the good of the country and its citizens. We all have to comply with laws we aren’t fond of. That’s why you cannot drive a car until you have a license. That’s why we have stop signs and traffic lights and smallpox vaccines and voter registration laws and highway speed limits. Sure, we would all like to get to our destination quicker with a 90 m.p.h. speed limit, but in the interest of public health and safety the Highway Department has speed limit laws and we are expected to abide by them. It’s a pity that you and the Governor aren’t smart enough to see that vaccines are the only way this epidemic is going to be wiped out—just like smallpox was wiped out 60-70 years ago. Until enough people get vaccinated, this Covid epidemic is going to continue to drag our economy and our health care system down to the breaking point. Peter H. Phillips Leonard, TX

Exodus 20:1-17 Oftentimes, I refer to the work of writers of the past who have touched my life and ministry to an unusual degree. In most cases, what they had to say then is out of print now. My personal library is sprinkled with many volumes that are priceless both because they can no longer be purchased at a bookstore and they contain a message our people desperately need to hear. Such is a little book entitled “Jesus Only” written by Dr. Vance Havner. As I read some of it recently, the thought for this week “Missing Notes in Today’s Culture” was born.

Missing Notes in Today’s Culture touch our personal lives at two points: personal respect and Godly reverence. As I look at present day culture it reflects a need for the revival of both. When I read of God’s giving of the Ten Commandments, I see in them His concern for both human respect and Godly reverence. Two Books, Exodus and Deuteronomy give us this recording of God’s “Rules for Living.” It may seem surprising to find that several of the Commandments address our need for respect to be practiced in relationship to other people. We are to honor our parents. Murder is forbidden. Stealing is wrong to our fellow man. We are to be honest in our dealings with others. Bearing false witness (Lying) is a lack of respect. Violating sexual purity is an absence of respect. Let us remember that mankind is made in God’s image. So in reality, when we violate the rules of respecting others we are being irreverent to God as well. Life seems to have been cheapened in today’s world.

Agency Offers Mental Health First Aid Training

Local Area is Part of a National Initiative to Increase Mental Health Literacy Press Release - In response to our nation’s mental health crisis, Texoma Community Center will bring two Mental Health First Aid Trainings to Fannin County on October 28, 2021, and November 11, 2021. The October session will feature the adolescent curriculum, and the November session will offer the adult curriculum. This groundbreaking skills-based course gives people the tools to identify, understand and respond to someone who might be struggling with a mental health or substance use challenge — and connect them with appropriate support and resources when necessary. One in five Americans has a mental illness, and the pandemic has dramatically increased depression and anxiety, but many are reluctant to seek help or don’t know where to turn for care. Unlike physical conditions,

symptoms of mental health and substance use problems can be difficult to detect. Friends and family members may find it hard to know when and how to step in. As a result, those in need of mental health services often do not receive care until it is too late. Just as CPR helps even those without clinical training assist an individual having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid prepares participants to interact with a person experiencing a mental health crisis. Mental Health First Aiders learn a 5-step Action Plan that guides them through the process of reaching out and offering appropriate support. “Never has it been more important for our communities to talk about mental health and substance use,” says Chuck Ingoglia, president and CEO of the National Council for Mental

Wellbeing, which helped bring Mental Health First Aid to the U.S. in 2008. “This program is breaking down barriers and stigma so that together we can learn how to better support one another. Without mental health, there is no health.” In just 12 years, Mental Health First Aid has become a full-blown movement in the United States — more than 2.5 million people are certified Mental Health First Aiders, and that number is growing every day. For more information or to participate in a Mental Health First Aid Training contact Amy Dobbs at adobbs@texomacc.org. The National Council for Mental Wellbeing was instrumental in bringing Mental Health First Aid to the United States. To learn more about Mental Health First Aid USA, visit MHFA. org.

Under this system, those who have been issued citations that have not been resolved (paid) and have “failed to appear” to a summons regarding those citations, will be entered into a databank that is linked with the driver license system that will not allow them to renew their license until the unpaid tickets are taken care of. In addition, there will be a $10.00 fee attached to each unpaid citation that will not be waived. Taking part in this system will be of no cost to the county and the county will receive $4.00 of the $10.00 fees with $6.00 going to Tx DPS. JP

Karl stated that in the past six years, there have been approximately $136,000 of unpaid citations in his precinct. After some discussion, the motion was made by Commissioner Lane and seconded by Commissioner Magness to approve the agreement. Motion passed. 7. Discussion regarding EMS monthly report for August 2021: Bonham Fire Chief Scott Ridley reported 410 EMS responses for August, though not all of those resulted in a transport. He said motor vehicle accidents are up and hopes those go down soon. Commissioner Magness asked if a collection problem existed for his department. Chief Ridley stated due to various reasons,

they typically collect 80% of billing. 8. Discussion, consideration, and action to approve Resolution authorizing the County Grant Program, the Year 2022, for Tri-County Senior Nutrition Project and have County Judge sign on behalf of the County: Fannin County Auditor Alicia Whipple said this is something that occurs every year. Judge Moore stated there would be $2,178.00 to be used for this program between 10/1/2021 and 9/30/2022.

title of Floodplain Manager to Troy Hudson, EMC, beginning October 1, 2021: Judge Moore spoke on this explaining in response to a citizen’s question, that this added responsibility was basically to look at the property and determine if that property is located in a floodplain and oversee the county’s floodplain policy. A motion was made by Commissioner Magness, seconded by Commissioner Lane, and passed. 10. Discussion, consideration, and action to approve minutes from 09/07/2021 (S) and )9/09/2021 (S): Motion was made, seconded, and passed to approve minutes. 11. Discussion, consideration, and action to approve the purchase of 26 Hart Intercivic-Verity 2.5 “Duo-Go” portable voting systems from the CARES Act Funds to assist with curbside voting: Fannin County Clerk Tammy Biggar explained why these are necessary. She provided information to the court on the machines and said the cost would be $40,050. In response to the question of how many each voting location would have, she responded there will be two machines for each voting site except for a few very small sites which will have one machine shared between the two parties. Commissioner Magness made the motion, with Commissioner Lane seconding the motion to approve and the motion passed. 12. Discussion, consideration, and action regarding the distribution of Un-

claimed Property Capital Credits received in the amount of $122,009.21: Director of the Creative Arts Center, Jennifer Wilson, thanked the court for consideration of their facility to benefit from these funds. She gave reasons why the Center is deserving of that consideration and how free programs at the center benefit children, teens, senior citizens, and animals. Next to speak was Fannin County Children’s Center Director Sandy Barber who said there were twelve children on a waiting list for counseling who are victims of child sexual abuse. She stated how $50,000.00 could cover the salary of a mental health professional that could address that waiting list. Judge Moore explained that because the US Forest Service told him there could be no agreement for the county to have years to make payments on the money needed to get Fannin Lake back into county ownership, Fannin Lake would be excluded from being one of the recipients of this money. He then stated three added benches for the Courthouse would cost $7,509.23. With that in mind, he said after taking that amount from the $122,009.21, he felt the remainder of the money could be divided between the Children’s Center, the Libraries, Child Welfare, Bonham Chamber of Commerce, and the Creative Arts Center. After some discussion, it was decided the entity of Bonham Chamber of Commerce would be changed to Cham-

bers of Commerce in Honey Grove, Ladonia, Leonard, Trenton, and Bonham. In response to questions from citizens why other organizations were not included, he explained they did not fit the criteria to be a recipient. The first amount noted to be given to the five entities was $19,083.33 but the Leader was informed the correct amount would be $22,899.99 given to each entity with the Libraries of Bonham, Honey Grove, and Leonard splitting the $22,899.99 and the Chambers of Commerces of Honey Grove, Ladonia, Leonard, Trenton and Bonham doing the same. A motion was made by Commissioner Self to approve option one and seconded by Commissioner Magness to approve this distribution with it being noted that this donation would be in lieu of the amount that was budgeted to give the Children’s Center and Child Welfare in next year’s budget. Motion passed. 13. Discussion, consideration, and action to approve the purchase of desk and chair for the office of Environmental Development Director; not to exceed $650.00: Fannin County Purchasing Agent Michelle Case explained why this was needed and the motion was made by Commissioner Magness, seconded by Commissioner Lane to purchase with the funds to come out of contingency and motion passed.

Commissioner Self made the motion to move the money, with Commissioner Lane seconding the motion and the motion passed. 20. Discussion, consideration, and action regarding issuing a burn ban for Fannin County: Fannin County Emergency Management Coordinator Troy Hudson spoke on why a burn ban is very much needed.

Discussion, consideration, and action to approve payment of bills: Motion was made, seconded, and passed to approve payment of bills. 22. Public Forum: The first to speak was a citizen of Bonham who is a den leader for Cub Scout Pack 54, who spoke to inform the public of a sign-up/recruitment event occurring Tuesday, October 5th at 7:00 p.m. at the IW Evans cafeteria. Girls and boys in kindergarten through the 5th grade will be eligible to sign up. Cub Scout weekly den meetings are held on Monday nights at 6:00 p.m. at the 1st Presbyterian Church in Bonham with monthly Pack meetings as well. He said more information can be found on their Facebook page “Pack 54 Bonham, Tx.” The next to speak was a citizen of Ravenna who spoke to expound on the toxic characteristics of the Covid Vaccines and promote the journalistic reports covering the topic on ProjectVeritas.com. After quoting Isaiah 5:13 he urged those aware of the toxicity of the vaccines, the high number of vaccinated who are becoming infected with Covid, and how Japan is now recommending their doctors to use ivermectin in treating patients with Covid, to tell others. The next speaker, also from Ravenna, gave numbers from the CDC VAERS (vaccine adverse events reporting system,) stating that it is believed these numbers only represent 1% of the actual numbers. Those numbers as of September 17th being: 726,963 reports of adverse events; 15,386 deaths; 82,000 urgent care visits, over 2,000 miscarriages; over 7,000 heart attacks; 6,800 myocarditis reports, and over 40,000 people permanently disabled. She urged people to become informed before deciding to receive a Covid vaccine. 23. Discussion, consideration, and action regarding the Fannin County Declaration of Disaster Proclamation for Covid-19: Before giving the stats of Covid, Judge Moore explained that this would be the last Proclamation for Covid-19 as it would just continue until

rescinded. That said he stated that there are currently 4,526 total cases of Covid; with active cases dropping from 80 last week to 67 this week; 4,419 recovered; 132 fatalities which increased from last week’s 128; 6 of the 67 active cases are in the prison; and the hospitalization rate has come down from 20.26% to 17.85%. A motion was made by Commissioner Magness to accept the Disaster Proclamation, seconded by Commissioner Self and a motion passed. 24. Comments by County Commissioners and County Judge: Commissioner Lane thanked everyone for coming, recognized former Commissioner Whitlock’s attendance, commented on possible rain but urged everyone to notify their neighbors of the burn ban that is in effect, and wished all a good week. Commissioner Self agreed with Commissioner Lane’s comments, noting it was also good to see the Sheriff in attendance and wished all a good week. Commissioner Magness echoed the previous sentiments and said this and next week there will be a lot of road work going on and asked for people to be considerate of the workers and exert caution on the road. Commissioner Lackey said after a trip to Colorado last week, it was good to be home, thanked everyone for coming and echoed Commissioner Magness’s comments on the road work, and asked everyone to be safe. (Writer’s note: Commissioner Lackey stated after the meeting that he did get to sign the Resolution letter from the previous meeting, standing with the Governor against a vaccine mandate, before the letter was sent to the Governor) Judge Moore said he was pleased to be able to get funding to the various resources in the county and appreciated the Commissioners input on that, commented on how he is giving thought to the Battery Storage thing and whether or not it would be good or bad for the county. He concluded with how good it was to see everyone at the meeting and all the good communication taking place. 25. Adjourn: Motion was made, seconded, and passed to adjourn at 10:27 a.m.

Bois d’Arc Lake: Through the Dam and Downstream Lake Weir and Bridge

Press Release - Photo by NTMWD Bois d’Arc Lake’s newly completed labyrinth weir is a zigzag

structure that allows overflow from the reservoir at the dam site to continue into

Willow Branch Creek. When the lake is full, water will flow downstream through the creek at the same rate it did before the reservoir was built. The finished weir and spillway are designed to release water up to the 100year flood. The reservoir also has an emergency spillway in case more capacity is needed. During dry conditions, the raw water pump station is equipped to draw and release water into the spillway to support downstream sections of Willow Branch Creek. Crews are constructing a 100-foot-long-by-9-foot-wide bridge over the weir to give staff access to the dam for maintenance. The bridge’s beams have been placed, and the deck panels, concrete pours and guard rails will be finished over the next month.

Oct. 1, 2021 Media Contact: TPWD News, Business Hours, 512-389-8030 AUSTIN – With the opening of deer season on the horizon, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) biologists are asking that hunters and landowners throughout the state be mindful of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) as new cases of the disease have been discovered in individual locations within multiple counties throughout Texas. The new positive cases were found in a free-ranging mule deer in Lubbock County, as well as within seven captive deer breeding facilities in Hunt, Uvalde, Matagorda, Mason, and Duval counties. TPWD is concerned that CWD could have been introduced into free-ranging deer herds on properties that received deer from these deer breeding facilities where CWD positive animals were discovered. More than 1,700 deer were released to high fence pastures in 119 properties scattered across the

state. These maps depict counties that contain properties where those deer were released and the number of potentially CWD exposed deer that were released by county. The level of suspected risk for these properties that received released deer exposed to CWD is of significant concern to TPWD. The movement of live deer is readily accepted as the greatest risk of spreading CWD across the state. Eradication of CWD is very difficult if not impossible when established in free-ranging deer populations and in the environment. TPWD and the Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) have been working diligently to conduct epidemiological investigations and establish testing plans for those release sites in hopes of preventing CWD from becoming established in the freeranging deer populations. These recent discoveries of new cases bring the total number of CWD positive deer to 261 in 14 counties. To date,

168 of those positives are associated with captive breeding facilities, 25 from release sites associated with those positive captive breeding facilities, and 68 in free-ranging deer populations. Fifty-seven of the freerange positives are in the Trans Pecos and Texas panhandle, with the remaining 11 in Medina and Val Verde counties. CWD surveillance of hunter-harvested deer, road-kills, and sick deer is critical for early detection and containment of the disease. Landowners and hunters play a critical role in managing CWD and are encouraged to report any tagged deer, or deer that appear to be sick or behaving strangely, to a TPWD biologist. Anyone hunting deer this season is encouraged to voluntarily provide samples for testing by taking deer to the nearest check station or by contacting a biologist in their area. Learn more about CWD on the TPWD web site or the TAHC web site.

the party boat was denied access to the marina. However, the marina was kind enough to provide a legal captain and lease the party another vessel to finish their celebration. Deep in the Weeds Jackson County Game Wardens were patrolling the coastal area of Jackson County for fisheries enforcement. They observed two individuals sitting in a truck at a local boat ramp of Carancahua Bay. There were kayaks in the bed of the truck and fish in a trash bag. The individual on the driver’s side appeared nervous

during conversation. One of the wardens asked the subject numerous times if there was anything illegal in the vehicle. The male subject changed the topic each time. Eventually, he stated that there was a little bit of weed in the vehicle. After conducting a search of the vehicle numerous drugs were discovered and seized including: 17 grams of methamphetamine, a THC vape pen, and thirty pills of hydrocodone and amphetamine. The male subject was arrested on four narcotics charges and a parole warrant.

Game Warden Field Notes

Trial by Fire A Polk County Game Warden responded to a boat fire on Lake Livingston. Upon arriving, the warden observed five individuals swimming in the water near a boat engulfed in flames. A young boy swimming from the flames stated he was tired and could not swim well. The warden removed his gun belt, swam toward the boy, and pulled him to safety. He noticed another individual struggling to swim and assisted him safely back to shore. The boat fire was extinguished by Onalaska Volunteer Fire Department. All occupants of the vessel were safe and uninjured. X Marks the Spot Bell County Game Wardens were contacted by a local landowner’s agent who was on the property hunting hogs when he came across a male individual digging for arrowheads without the landowner’s permission. Wardens arrived on the scene and discovered an eight-foot hole the suspect had dug and several artifacts. The wardens arrested the digger. The suspect had a lengthy criminal history and had recently been released from the penitentiary. He was charged with antiquities code violations, criminal trespass, and criminal mischief. Cases are pending. Party Foul A Travis County Game Warden issued multiple citations to an individual operating an illegal party boat. In an attempt to skirt party boat regulations and avoid trespassing charges, the captain of the vessel coached the attendees of a bachelorette party to announce themselves to the marina as “friends”.

Submerged timber is holding the larger fish. Black bass

are great using Tattle Tale worms, creature baits, and 3 foot and 12-foot divers. The lake is down, leaving many of the structures high and dry, so they are starting to pull back into deeper water around the structures, making them easier to target. Do not be late to the lake because in the morning, on rock and concrete, you will find topwater action until around 8:30 a.m. There are a few fish in the back of coves and some pockets along the banks. The bass are using the cover to ambush shad in the morning. Ray Roberts FAIR; Water lightly stained; 76 degrees; 0.48 feet low.

Water temperature in mid-lake is running 71-degrees and further back up in the creeks 66-degrees.

Noticing more and more balls of shad on the surface in the morning and evenings making the migration to the creeks. Our best bite for bass has been early and late on a Topwater Fly popper (Coola Popper in Fire Tiger color) and a Stealth Goober Fly (black with a chartreuse belly) for the fly casters in the backcountry. Some spotted bass have been caught on the surface off of points on Tiny Torpedo’s (clear color) and a Zara Spook Puppy (clear with a Whitetail). The bluegill has moved off of their beds with the cooling water temperatures. Start searching in a little deeper water (5-8 feet) using a Beetle Spin and/ or live worms. The Crappie bite is still in deep water (17 – 24 feet) using small minnows and jigs. The Catfish bite has been slow. Watch your moon phase chart or app for your best bite and times for this week. Good luck and tight lines! Safety Reminder: Everyone needs to wear their life jackets (PFDs) while in or around the lake.

Fall turkey season prospects look good in Texas

By Jennifer Whitlock: Field Editor Texas Agriculture Daily The fall turkey hunting season in Texas should be a good one, according to Jason Hardin, Texas Parks and Wildlife

Department (TPWD) Wild Turkey Program leader. “If you had birds last year in the areas that you’re hunting, you’ll have them again this year,” Hardin said in an interview with the Texas Farm Bu-

If you’re south of Highway 90, your season will open the Saturday closest to March 18. If you’re north of Highway 90, your season will open the Saturday closest to April 1.” Another change introduced by TPWD are mandatory turkey harvest reporting regulations for Bastrop, Caldwell, Colorado, Fayette, Jackson, Lavaca, Lee, Matagorda, Milam and Wharton counties. Those counties also have a one-gobbler annual bag limit. Turkeys harvested in those areas must be reported online or through the My Texas Hunt Harvest app within 24 hours. “It’s just tracking the population. We have our small-medium harvest survey that works really well for most of our four-bird bag limit counties in the heart of the Rio Grande [turkey] country. But those 10 counties are on the eastern edge of the Rio Grande range, and we just don’t get enough harvest to track that population,” Hardin said. “So, to get a better idea of what’s going on in that area population-wise and harvest-wise, we’ve implemented mandatory harvest reporting.” Panola County will no longer have a spring turkey season. Hardin cited low hunting participation and a smaller turkey population as factors in discontinuing turkey hunting there. In addition to a Texas hunting license, an upland game bird endorsement is required to hunt turkeys.

reau Radio Network. “We’ve had a pretty decent hatch the last few years, so across most of the state, you should have similar opportunities to what you’ve had in the past.” Freezing weather in January and February may have presented a temporary setback as turkeys headed into nesting season. But plenty of rainfall and a mild summer followed, so populations should have recovered nicely from any losses that occurred in the winter. With archery season set to begin Oct. 2 and the general fall season opening on Nov. 6, Hardin said it is important to check which counties have an open season. Many counties west of and along the I-25 corridor do have a four-bird annual bag limit, and any birds hunted in the fall count toward that aggregate. In East Texas, there is a 10-county region with a threeweek spring-only season from April 22 to May 14. New this year are some changes to TPWD’s north and south turkey hunting zones. “We did change our northsouth zone. Moving forward, the boundary is consistently along Highway 90 from San Antonio westward for both seasons,” Hardin said. “It used to transition and go further north. So, you might be in the north zone in the spring and south zone in the fall, and it was creating some confusion.” TPWD reorganized the fall south zone to include Goliad, Gonzales and Wilson counties. Hardin noted in the spring, 22 counties that were in the south zone will now be in the north zone: Bandera, Bexar, Blanco, Brewster, Comal, Crockett, Edwards, Gillespie, Guadalupe, Hays, Jeff Davis, Kendall, Kerr, Kimble, Kinney, Medina, Pecos, Real, Sut-

SPORTS SPORTS Right On Line, Right On Time: Trenton on three-game winning streak as district football competition arrives

Micah Wommack takes a snap during Trenton’s football practice on Sept. 28. Photo by Rich Hilliard By Rich Hilliard TRENTON -- Wyatt Stogsdill gave three reasons why he resumed playing football this season for Trenton. “I came back because of (head) coach (Josh) Shipman, it’s my senior year and I knew we were going to have a good team,” said Stogsdill. The senior, who plays wide receiver and cornerback, has, with his last reason for returning, proven prescient. After opening the 2021

season with a 38-14 loss to Detroit on Aug. 27 -and despite a two-week layoff due to their ensuing game’s cancellation due to COVID-19 -- the Tigers haven’t lost again. Trenton (3-1) began preparations on Sept. 28 for its District 5-2A-I opener on Oct. 8 at Tioga -- on a threegame winning streak: 4720 over Chico on Sept. 10, 28-20 at Dallas Gateway on Sept. 17 and 42-0 against Cumby on Sept. 24. “I’m amazed how much better we have gotten from

the start of the season to now,” said Shipman, who is in his third season at the helm. “It’s all due to our coaches and kids,” he said. “Our offensive line has been so much better than we thought it would be.” Three seniors -- on the offensive line and at tight end -- were not on the team last year. “I just missed playing for this team, this school ... and with these boys,” said tight end Zackary Holley, who last year focused instead on

playing basketball. Senior Alex Pacheco, a 140-pound quick guard who is making the move this season to varsity, gave several reasons for the group’s success: “We’ve worked hard, followed rules, believed and been dedicated.” “We had to get mentally focused; that had been the big thing,” said senior strong tackle Garrett Stratton. “We’ve become mentally strong.” The guys up front block for a sophomore-heavy group

Jayden Candela leads Trenton rushers with more than 500 yards, Colton Gray has accumulated 400 and Micah Wommack has stepped into the role of starting quarterback. “It’s been pressure, but I’ve learned how to settle in and play,” said Wommack, who previously had seen time at running back and wide receiver and been the backup quarterback last season. “My teammates have made it easier for me,” he said.

With the threeconsecutive wins, the mix of underclassmen and upperclassmen have given the Tigers reason for confidence as they vie, starting in October, for a third-straight postseason in November.

It is time to do fall fecals or deworming. 2021 babies need to be vaccinated and dewormed. Strategic Worming schedule/fecal Oct 15 The horse has another molt of larvae to adults now (it has been 6 months since the spring molt and green grass grazing where parasite larvae on the grass are eaten). If the horse is more than 3 years old, we do a fecal exam to see if they have adult worms shedding eggs and then worm accordingly. Most horses develop immunity to worms so they don’t have many. The horses with less immunity will have worms and are shedding eggs on the pasture. In a herd of 10 horses, 8 will have few worms and 2 will be shedders. By doing fecals, we identify the shedders and worm them more frequently (3-4 times a year). Young horses do not have good parasite immunity and should be wormed 3-4 times a year. Low shedders need to be wormed 1-2 times a year (April 15 and fecal Oct 15). Gone are the days of worming every 2 months which created resistance to wormers. We worm at strategic times now. Worms do not reproduce (shed eggs) in the extreme hot of Texas summer and the cold of winter. We used to worm in January for the bots (1 month after the first freeze that killed the bot fly adults). The other worms are dormant in January so we worm for bots with the spring worming April 15. We worm babies and yearlings every 2 months in spring and fall.

•

Worm babies with Panacur or safeguard now • Worm yearlings and shedders with Strongid (pyrantel) now. • Fecals • Fecal samples can be collected and brought in fresh or refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. We do an egg count which correlates with the number of adult worms present passing eggs. If there is a high egg count, we deworm. If there is a low egg or negative egg count, we do not. If we are checking to see of your horses have resistance to the deworming products, we do a fecal now and then another fecal; 4 months after Quest, 3 months after Ivermectin, 2 months after Strongid (pyrantel). Ivermectin and Covid Do not use horse ivermectin wormer for prevention or treatment of Covid. The horse wormer is double strength which overdose can cause liver problems. There are human ivermectin tablets that are prescribed by some doctors. Ivermectin is a drug used for years in humans against parasites. It is used for the river blindness caused by parasites in the eyes in Africa. It is used for swine viral diseases. The Ivermectin stops the virus from entering the cell nucleus and multiplying. It is given the first day of illness. Bots Tis the season for bot flies. They have emerged. If you see a bee like insect flying around your horse’s legs or belly, it is a bot fly trying to deposit those

small yellow eggs on your horse’s legs. Fly spray sprayed directly on the bot fly will repel it and works fair for keeping the bot flies repelled from your horse. Or you can kill it with your hand. The life cycle of the bot fly starts with the eggs laid on the horse’s legs. The horse then scratches that area with his mouth and picks up some of the eggs and swallows them. The eggs molt to larvae the attach to the stomach wall. Those larvae are passed out in the manure to hatch and become a bot fly. Treatment is with those wormers that will kill the bot fly in the stomach such as Ivermectin or Quest used in the spring. Or a part dose (250lb dose) in January, 1 month after the 1st freeze which kills the adult bot fly. Remove bot eggs from the legs with a lava stone or bot knife weekly to prevent infestation. Colt Vaccination & Worming Babies get a Core vaccine (East/West Encephalitis, West Nile, Tetanus, Rabies) now along with a Panacur wormer or Safe Gard 1 month later (November) follow up with a 7 way (East/ West encephalitis, West Nile, Flu, Rhino) or EWT West Nile and worm again with Panacur. 1 month later booster with a Rhino/Flu vaccine in December. Next spring, we use ivermectin wormer October 11-16 the signs are right to CASTRATE. The cooler weather is here so Dr Hayes is now scheduling castrations.
