SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE
The Northeast Texas Area Crime Stoppers and the
Titus County Sheriff’s Office need your help with this
week’s Crime of the Week.
On July 13 at CR 1452 in Titus County, a utility

color, was stolen from the front yard of a residence.
CR 1452 is located off of Hwy. 271 North, which is

was stolen, there were several pieces of red carpet lay-

David Daniels, of Mount Pleasant, is all too familiar
with this issue. Daniels killed five water moccasins
on his property in one week. His neighbor killed two
water moccasins in the same time frame.
Daniels was particularly alarmed when a water
moccasin became lodged in his water meter, the same
week he saw a water moccasin approximately 10 feet
away from his grandchild.
“So many people, especially older people, reach
down and check their own water meter,” said Daniels.
“That makes a perfect spot for a snake to get in there
and cool off, and then someone reaches down to check
their meter or the snake is stuck, trying to get out of
the meter and it attracts your dogs, or maybe even a
child. It looks like a toy to them.”
Daniels also encountered a snake in his chicken
coop. After killing the snake that looked to be
engorged with chicken eggs, what appeared to be eggs
turned out to be Titleist Golf Balls, formerly owned by
Daniels before the snake claimed ownership.
If a snake bites you, the Mayo Clinic suggests
calling 9-1-1 immediately, removing jewelry, and/
or tight clothing in case you start to swell. Position
yourself so that the bite is below or level of your heart.
While water moccasins are commonly found in
swamps, sluggish waterways, coastal marshes, rivers,
ponds and streams, don’t count on them staying there.
In addition, although some experts agree that water
moccasins are not aggressive, other experts disagree.
Many people claim that water moccasins have
actually chased them. The Natural Florida website
states that, “Most anyone would rather have an
alligator in their boat than a cottonmouth any day of
the week. I have heard a few snake-in-the boat stories
and they are about equally divided between ‘we all
jumped overboard’ and ‘I grabbed my gun and shot
the boat full of holes trying to kill the snake.’ You
learn not to only keep an eye on things moving on the
water, but to perform a ‘snake check!’ anytime you
pull up under a tree. Some snakes (in a fit of whimsy,
no doubt) like to drop from trees to boats to see how
fast they can empty the boat out.”
Dr. Fredric Neuman, a contributor to the Psychology
Today website, suggests that if snake phobia rears
it’s ugly head in your life, you try the following
techniques, at least to get you through the rest of the
summer here in Titus County:
1. Reading about snakes. Neuman likes phobics to
become very knowledgeable, if possible an expert,
about whatever they fear, in the case of snakes, their
habits and habitats, whether they are poisonous or
not, what they like to eat, how they have evolved. The
more the patient knows, the better.
2. Looking at pictures of snakes. Not easy. Even a
drawing of a snake could elicit a gut-wrenching feeling
at first. But with more pictures and photographs, this
became less and less upsetting.
3. Holding a toy snake. Still difficult. The patient
has to get used to a stuffed snake first, then a toy snake
that squiggled at the end of a stick.
4. Getting a snakeskin and keeping it in different
places around the house.
5. Looking at a snake in a pet store, first from a
distance, then closer and closer. It turns out a snake in
a glass cage is very boring. It doesn’t snap or snarl. It
sleeps most of the time.
6. Going to a nature center where non-poisonous
snakes slither around the floor.
7. Holding a snake.

children with disabilities
are invited to attend one
of the nine weeks of
camp, which according
to Basinger, gives kids a
“can do attitude.”
“I’m not asking for
your financial donations,
I’m asking for you to
get the word out about
this camp so that all
kids in Texas with a
disability know they have
this opportunity,” said
Basinger. “This is a can
do camp.”
According to Basinger,
participants who are
“disabled” are able to
participate in normal
camp activities that
any other child would
participate in at summer
camp, such as horseback
riding, swimming, and
many other different
activities.
“They learn they can
do a lot of things for
themselves that they
didn’t know or didn’t
believe they could do,”
said Basinger.
Seventy-five percent
of the counselors at the
camp are global recruits
who are majoring in
degrees in which they will
be working with children
who face challenges.
Some of the camp
counselors are returning
campers themselves.
Most funding for
the camp comes from
the Lions Club as well
as other charitable
organizations such as the
San Jacinto High Rollers
(SJHR). The SJHR is the
oldest AMA motorcycle
club in the state. Founded
in Pasadena in 1957, the
club has supported the
Lion’s Club Children’s
Camp in Kerrville for
decades. SJHR raised
$55,000 for the camp in
2016 alone.
