Unfortunately, the weekly Sabine River Shootouts take place every Tuesday afternoon and I send in my column at noon the same day. That means the previous results are exactly one week old by the time you see them in The Record! That is apparently the only minor problem for the popular weekly event as crowds grow and the winners continue to post very solid weights. It is absolutely pouring this morning which will necessitate changes in game plans to some degree, but they didn’t let a muddy river and falling water level slow t...
Dave Rogers For The Record Before you know it, it will time to stand up and be counted. The U.S. Constitution requires that each decade we take a count of America’s population and the goal of the 2020 U.S. Census is to count everyone once, only once, and in the right place. “In our area, we know we’ve lost residents after [Tropical Storm] Harvey,” Bob Dickinson of the Southeast Texas Regional Planning Council said. “It’s important to get the highest participation in the 2020...

TRUMP SLAMS HILLARY IN RE-ELECTION BID A few days ago, President Donald Trump announced his bid for re-election at a rally in Florida. His show wasn’t very presidential. He led the chorus for “Lock Her Up,” a reference to Hillary who has been investigated and cleared 87 times. He also approved of his loyalist shouting, “CNN Sucks.” He again repeated his claims of 2016, except he didn’t ask who was going to pay for the big, beautiful, magnificent wall. A report says white supremacy groups have grown by 30% since Trump took...
