Fishing at night seems
to be the most logical
BAYSIDE - The hot-
test time of the year is
here so fishing at night
seems to be the most logi-
cal time to go out.
Wade fishing for floun-
der is a fun option for “no-
boaters.” The full moon is
on Aug. 20, so under clear
skies and calm winds you
should have enough light
to gig these tasty flat fish
easily.
Carry a small key-chain
light or wear a head-lamp.
You will need a stringer
and a gig. Watch out for
obstacles and stingrays.
Not having to carry a
lantern makes a world of
difference when trying to
put one of these angry fish
on the stringer. Taking a
quiet friend along makes
everything easier if both
of you are in sync.
Artificial light does not
penetrate the water as
well as mantle light.
If you choose to use a
lantern, take the glass

water

globe off and cover half of
if with aluminum foil and
assembly. That will keep
the glare from shining in
your face.
You and your quiet
friend can take turns car-
rying the lantern making
sure to keep it clear of
bare legs.
Wear sneakers or boo-
ties and take some trav-
el size insect repellent.
I always carry a pocket-
knife and usually end up
using it to cut monofilla-
ment that has wrapped
itself around my feet.
Cigarette lighters or
dry matches are a must
have item too.
The light of the moon
makes boating all that
much more enjoyable for
everyone aboard.
While some enjoy catch-
ing trout out of the deeper
water access able by boat,
others can take in the
light show produced by
the meteor showers this
week.
Peak fishing times
are predicted to be from
mid-night until 6 a.m. all
week.
Try a gold spoon around
those old gas wells in
Copano Bay.
Trout and redfish are
looking for shade. The
area rivers are still pro-
ducing nice redfish and
huge gar.
Whoever is responsible
for wasting an alligator
gar’s life and leaving it on
the bank of the Aransas
River should really start
to use their brain and
acquire a conscience. This
was not an accident.
Letters to the Editor
Baysiders come together to help
Greetings Baysiders
and other interested
parties; how the heck is
everyone?
Well August has been
an absolutely crazy
month for me as you
probably noticed from my
absence.
Actually, July was no
day at the beach either,
come to think about it.
Not that they were BAD
months necessarily, but
very busy and VERY
emotional.
You see, on July 29, I
lost my very dear friend,
Nancy Williams to that
awful disease called can-
cer. Not only was she a
dear friend of mine, she
was a longtime resident
of Bay side and a very
dear friend to many.
But this storm cloud
had a beautiful silver
lining and it was called
unity in the community
of Bayside.
Many folks gath-
ered to say goodbye to
Nancy and to pay their
respects to her husband
Van and their daugh-
ters. However, many
Baysiders came together
with all kinds of food and
donations that helped

side

Dahl
feed at least 150 people
at the community cen-
ter; and for that, I’d like
to do a shout out to a
few of these wonderful
people. First and fore-
most, a huge THANK
YOU goes to Sue Ellen
Brown for her unrelent-
ing efforts in getting this
enormous undertaking of
a luncheon put together.
Secondly, another
huge thank you goes to
Arnold Macias for pre-
paring a reported 150
pounds of brisket, 20
pounds of potato salad,
at least 5 pounds of cole-
slaw and heaven knows
what else.
Many, many thanks to
those who donated the
funds that paid for those
briskets and to those who
brought all the delicious
food and desserts that
made it all so special.
Of course, a lun-
cheon at the Bayside
Community Center of
any size cannot happen
without the help of those
who serve and clean up.
Julia Delaney, Diane
Stevens, Anna Claire
Solis, Marty Conn and
Sue Ellen Brown were all
there from start to finish.
You ladies rock!
Nancy’s only request
was a New Orleans funer-
al procession which took
place after the luncheon.
Her family and friends
had a parade in her honor
with jazz music wafting
in the Bayside breeze, her
friends donned umbrel-
las and danced their way
to the home she shared
with her family where we
commenced to celebrate
her life. Via con dios, mi
amiga, I’ll see you on the
other side.

Never in the history of the
United States has there
been a group of people who
are above the law that can
rise to power like the Bush
family.
George H. Bush left
office with a deficit. George
W. Bush left office with a
huge deficit. This is a like
father, like son, who were
not successful in leading
our nation.
The Gulf war led by
pappa-Bush and Freedom
Iraq war led by “Bush Jr.”
When you read the bible
story of King David and
his son, King Solomon,
they were both successful
because they were close
to God.
Our national security
failed, New York’s twin
towers were attacked
while under both no. 41
and no. 43 U.S. Presidents.
Today the national secu-
rity is being scrutinized
for leaks. It is my opinion
maybe Bradley Manning
and Ed Snowden do have
information about the
Bush family!
Red flags should have
been waving in congress,
when George W. Bush
became the first appointed
U.S. President. The explor-
atory presidential com-
mittee, ways and means
committee and the judicial
committee never raised a
red flag about George W.
Bush’s back ground check,
as a failure in the mili-
tary as a soldier, who went
AWOL and had alcohol
problems.
Helen Thomas, white
house reporter, asked
George W. Bush, why did
you invade Iraq? And was
it about the oil in Iraq?
Bush replied, you know,
“I really did not want to
go to war with Iraq!” Bush
never replied about the oil.
In rhetoric versus reali-
ty, Bush could have vetoed
going to war with Iraq!
Supreme Court Judge
Sandra Day O’Conner said
“Bush versus Gore was a
mistake, on a 5-4 vote stop
to recount Florida, the
decisive state.
At the September 22,
2006 United Nations
general assembly Hugo
Chavez called George W.
Bush, “the devil,” imperi-
alist with false democracy!
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
said why does the United
States send their sons and
daughters to be killed?
The United States had
more war fatalities then
all other coalition forces.
A “stumbling block,” for
those who fall should be
a lesson for our nation.
Read Romans 11:12, Now
if their fall is for riches for
the world and their failure
riches the gentiles. Read
Mark 34:36, What will a
man profit if he gains the
whole world and looses
his soul? The Bush fam-
ily always blames Muslim
leader “Alqueda.”
Rhetoric versus Reality,
who is in control in clos-
ing U.S. Embassies? My
opinion the U.S.A. fears
“Alqueda,” why? Pappa
Bush, Gulf War should
have never stirred up those
brotherhood Muslims over
oil.

Hats off
Editor:
Through my lectures
and related travels
throughout the world,
Mrs. Rainey and I have
been fortunate enough
to be hosted to great and
unforgettable meals in
many of the famous and
best restaurants on this
planet. Still there is no
place like home, and the
unique home grown culi-
nary experiences some of
our local restaurateurs
offer still stand out in our
memories as the best of
the best.
This is an unsolicited
endorsement for one of
those outstanding restau-
rants, our own Henry’s
restaurant here in Refugio.
Currently, Henry’s is fea-
turing Mexican cuisine
themed shrimp dishes,
with the shrimp tacos as a
delightful and tasty alter-
native to this standard
staple of Mexican cuisine.
Our hats are off to
Henry’s and the Villarreal’s
culinary shrimp delight. If
you haven’t yet stumbled
on this great local dish,
I highly recommend that
you give it a try.

Community effort
Editor:
The Oakwood Cemetery
Association would like to
send out a big “Thank You”
to all those who came out
Saturday morning, Aug.
10. It was a true commu-
nity effort, and the results
most definitely show.
We would most specifi-
cally like to thank Cathy
Schubert-Wallace and her
crew, Sara Moeller, the
Rev. Veda White, Alex
White, Bo Henderson,
Robert and Lynette Nixon,
Kathy Powers, Parker
Dixon, Francis Johnson,
Vicki Johnson, Tim Gloria,
James Henry and the
trustees. If we accidentally
left someone out, we apolo-
gize to you in advance.
We would also like to
address several concerns
noted in a letter to the edi-
tor published Aug. 15, in
the Refugio County Press.
The author suggested sev-
eral uses for the associa-
tion’s funds that would be
preferable to a gazebo.
We understand the
author’s intent, however,
our intention is to build
the new gazebo with dona-
tions, not perpetual care
funds. The state of Texas
mandates what dollar
amount must be held in
a perpetual care account.
We cannot spend below
that dollar amount for a
gazebo or even for a “clean-
up” as the author called it.
The good news is that,
on a voluntary basis, the
cemetery has been kept up
via work days on at least a
quarterly basis these last
several years.
We hope that this spirit
of volunteerism contin-
ues until interest rates
improve and allow us to
hire this work done once
more. There is no rea-
son we can’t have a self-
sustaining perpetual care
fund and a beautiful gaze-
bo at Oakwood Cemetery.
With hard work, better
economic times and gen-
erosity, together we can
see these ideas come to
fruition.
