ATTENTION:

I was told the more requests, the better the chance.

Re: Seadrift / POC Population
Joyce, in regards to your story on which is bigger:
I think that since Seadrift is an incorporated city, they only count the population in the city. I’ve run into this applying for grants where I’ve had to list the entire population of the area Seadrift VFD serves.
A LOT of people live outside of the Seadrift City limits and are not counted towards the city, but to the county total.
Example: the little road I live on in the county has 10 houses on it. If you count Wooldridge Rd., Cemetery Rd., Gates Rd., Dierlam Rd., Old Settlement Rd., Loop Rd., Swan Point, Maddoux Rd., you will find the population of the Seadrift area is more like 1600-1700. Not counting the two new subdivisions: Swan Point Landing and Falcon Point. Two other older subdivisions were just annexed by the city: Blasingham and Bierman.
Just letting you know,
Peter DeForest
Editor’s Reply: You’re right, Peter. I should have considered that before writing the article.

Loose Animals
In addition to dogs running loose, we now have had 2 goats, with collars and a pot belly pig following walkers on Monroe. This is very annoying and destructive to all the residents’ property. The goats eat our expensive plants and the pig tries to eat anything.
If you have these animals please keep them contained. People who come here don’t want to dodge stray animals of any kind.

Editor, I thought the following would be an appropriate footnote to your post on the website regarding the opening of Oyster Season:
That “small portion” of open Texas waters couldn’t have been more strategic for authorities.
It was like leading lambs to a slaughter as Game Wardens circled the “down on your luck folks” trying to put food on the table and earn an honest living. It was like Sitting Bull at Custer’s Last Stand. Watermen and Sportsmen alike are under increasing attack by authorities as the State struggles for revenues and force a new breed of revenue collector on the citizens of this great State. It is shameful.
