City to assess future dangers

Downtown buildings destroyed Jim Bardwell After three days of combing through the charred bricks and rubble left from Wednesday night's fire that engulfed two downtown buildings, agents with the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) hope to release the results of their investigation this week.

Inspections, education planned for downtown area businesses Jim Bardwell

Look for daily updates in the Mirror's E-edition available on the Gladewater Mirror App, Facebook and website Gregg County Fire Marshal Mark Moore called in the ATF due to the scope of the fire, which was too large for local resources and officials to thoroughly investigate in a timely manner. Agents began arriving on Friday and started documenting and investigating the fire zone over the weekend in freezing temperatures. The fire broke out around 10 p.m. Wednesday, with fire crews from multiple departments responding to the 100 block of North Main Street and Tony's Old South Cafe, formerly The Fork, and the adjacent building on its south side. Gladewater, Longview, Sabine, and Clarksville City Warren City fire departments worked for about five hours before finally extinguishing the last flames early Thursday mornmg. Firefighters were able to save Christie's Collectibles, which is located on the north side of Tony's Cafe, with little to no damage reported. Firefighters also were able to save a large storage building and a residence which are both situated very close to each other in the same city block. Donna Christie stood across the street with dozens of other people and watched as flames crept up to the second floor of Tony's Cafe and threatened her building. If not for the aerial ladder truck Longview Fire Department brought to the scene, the entire block would most likely have been consumed. It is believed the fire started in the rear of the vacant building, which reportedly had no power and was in the process of being cleaned so a local business could relocate to that location. Both buildings destroyed in the fire belong to David Reeh and Karen Newman, according to Gregg County tax records, and are appraised at a total of $248,700. Gladewater Fire Fighters began battling the structure fire shortly after responding to the 9-1-1 calls, but downed electrical wires prevented firefighters from getting close enough to effectively fight the fire, until SWEPCO workers arrived and turned off the power. Scott Ragsdale, ATF public information officer, said Monday the ATF's National Response Team found kerosene and gasoline cans inside the area where it is believed the fire originated. However, Ragsdale said they were not ready to release their conclusion as to what caused Continued on Page 9

Gladewater's downtown district is known as the "Antique Capital of East Texas," but that doesn't mean just the items for sale are old. The majority ofthe buildings downtown are also antiques dating back to the 1930s and 1940s. And while that can make them quaint, it also means they most likely have no modern fire prevention equipment like overhead sprinkler systems. Ironically, Gladewater City Manager Theo Melancon and interim Fire Chief Michael Kirkwood were surveying and discussing the downtown area, assessing potential fire hazards the very day a fire broke out in the 100 bock of N. Main Street and consumed two structures. The fire also posed a potential danger for Melancon and his family who live in the same block directly behind the building that caught. The family fled their home as soon as they spotted the flames. New structures in Gladewater must meet current building and safety standards. However, the older buildings do not have all the new safety devices, which can be cost prohibited to install. "We as the city of Gladewater and the Gladewater Fire Department will do our part to help prevent or limit the opportunity of this happening again," said Fire Chief Michael Kirkwood. "As part of these efforts, we will conduct building inspections annually to make sure issues within our businesses are taken care of. "We will also help educate the business owners on fire prevention and how they can assist us by keeping their businesses up to code. Some of the things the owners can do to assist us is to keep their building free of clutter, don't store flammable products or liquids in the buildings, fix any issues that they are aware of to prevent a fire from occurring such as electrical issues. Double check everything at the end of the day to ensure everything is turned off before leaving for the night." Kirkwood said he encourages the public to call the GFD when they have questions or concerns that mayanse.

Pritchett man killed in officer-involved shooting BY PHilliP WILLIAMS

Correspondent GILMER-- Texas Rangers are investigating the death of a 53-year-old man in a shooting involving Upshur County and state law enforcement officers outside the man's Pritchett residence on Tuesday night of last week, authorities said. Dale Hightower died at the scene in the 1700 block of Cottonwood Road, according to information in news releases from new Upshur County

Sheriff Larry Webb and Texas Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Jean Dark. A sheriffs deputy and a DPS trooper fired out of fear for their lives when Hightower pointed a rifle at them after deputies responded at 7: 55 p.m. to a 911 "welfare check" call, authorities said. As the investigation proceeds, the sheriff's deputy, who has not been identified, has been placed on paid administrative leave, which

is "standard policy" in such cases, Webb wrote. Dark, who did not identify the DPS trooper, did not state whether that officer was also put on such leave and Webb said Monday he did not know, Webb, who was in only his third day in office when the incident occurred, said he was awaiting word from Dark on when DPS wanted to release the two officers' names. He expressed confidence the shooting would be found to be

justifiable. Webb had written that while more than one deputy sheriff was dispatched on the call, only one and a DPS trooper "both discharged their weapon in the direction of the individual" after Hightower "confronted" them. Dark said in her news release that "According to the preliminary investigation, upon arrival, the officers heard screaming from inside the residence. A male subject

exited the residence with a rifle and pointed the weapon at the deputies and the trooper. The officers, fearing for their lives, fired their weapons at the suspect, incapacitating him." First aid was immediately given, and emergency medical services were called to the scene, but Hightower died there, Dark said. A female was found unharmed inside the home, she added.

The only true gift… We are surrounded by generosity and people with servants’ hearts. And those folks remind us of how very precious life can be and that we have a responsibility to live it well. Saturday I attended Mr. Jimmie Muckleroy’s memorial service at First Baptist Church. He is one man I know who lived what he believed with unassuming grace. The sanctuary was full of people, including a large number of men he had done construction work with through the Disciples of Christ Men’s Missions. These men had come from all over the state and beyond to honor the memory of a man who made a difference far beyond our community. There were folks at the service from all walks of life. I think that also tells you a great deal about Jimmie Muckleroy. I sat there and watched people come in and thought “this is what heaven is going to be like”. I know without a doubt that Mr. Jimmie was one of those humble saints that was greeted with a “Well done, good and faithful servant” when he slipped to his eternal reward. He would have been embarrassed to know that the many good things he did quietly, humbly and anonymously were celebrated. How I got to know him was through our interest in Manna House Food Pantry which was brought into being by Jimmie Muckleroy about 33 years ago. A lot of hungry people have been fed because of this man of faith. Ironically, his grandson Mason was one of my standout journalism students, and truth be known, favorites at White Oak High School. Mason was a giver like his granddad and that may be one of the the greatest tributes of all.

Year in Review - 2016

I drove away from the church thinking about Jimmie Muckleroy’s most commonly remembered saying: “You can’t out give God”. I have not made any New Year’s resolutions this year but after the witness of Saturday’s service I would like to become a better ‘giver’. A better ‘giver’ of my time, my efforts, my resources, my love. My favorite scripture is found in I Corinthians 13:13b “…the greatest of these is love”. I want that scripture for my epitaph but more importantly I hope that my family, friends and the approximately 4,000 students I taught will remember me by the way I lived my love. My second favorite scripture? “Love never ends.” I Corinthians 13:8. From the bottom of my heart thank you givers who make life richer for everyone around you. Your lives lift many of us to greater purpose and meaning. You make the rest of us aspire to becoming better people. After all, as Ralph Waldo Emerson so eloquently said: “The only true gift is the gift of thyself”.

Texas Comptroller releases Biennial Estimate Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar released the state’s Biennial Revenue Estimate Monday, showing the state is projected to have approximately $104.9 billion in revenue available for generalpurpose spending during the 2018-19 biennium. This represents a 2.7 percent decrease from the amounts available for the 2016-17 biennium. It’s important to note that this decline is not due to a projected drop in total revenue collections from the 2016-17 biennium to the 2018-19 biennium. The Comptroller is projecting overall revenue growth from the current biennium to the next. Such growth, however, is offset by a significantly lower beginning balance of $1.5 billion. In addition, a 2015 voter-approved constitutional provision (Proposition 7) dedicates up to $5 billion in biennial sales tax revenue to the State Highway Fund (SHF) starting in the 2018-19 biennium to address important transportation infrastructure needs. “Ongoing weakness in activity related to oil and natural gas has been a drag on state economic growth and led to lagging revenue collections in 2016,” Hegar said. “Still, the diversity of the Texas economy has allowed for slow but continued economic expansion and steady growth in employment, which we expect to continue over the coming biennium. Texas stands in contrast to other states with large energy industries, many of which have suffered declines in employment and economic output.” Sales tax collections make up the state’s single largest source of General Revenue-Related (GR-R) revenues. The BRE projects GR-R revenues from sales taxes to be nearly $62.0 billion in the next biennium. Subtracting about $4.7 billion dedicated to the SHF as a result of the passage of Proposition 7 leaves nearly $57.3 billion. Added to this are other GR-R revenues of $49.2 billion and a beginning balance of approximately $1.5 billion, bringing the subtotal to $108.0 billion. From this subtotal, $3.1 billion will be set aside for transfers to the Economic Stabilization Fund (ESF) and the SHF, leaving $104.9 billion available to the Legislature for general-purpose spending in the next biennium.

Following a strong 5.9 percent increase in real gross state product in fiscal 2015, the Texas economy is estimated to have grown by only 0.2 percent in fiscal 2016. In fiscal 2017, the Texas economy is projected to grow by 2.5 percent. That growth rate should increase slightly to 3.0 percent in fiscal 2018 and 3.1 percent in fiscal 2019. Employment growth is expected to be 1.9 percent in fiscal 2018 and 1.7 percent in fiscal 2019, while the state’s unemployment rate is expected to remain relatively unchanged at 4.5 percent in both fiscal 2018 and 2019. Among other large tax revenue sources: * motor vehicle-related taxes, including sales, rental and manufactured housing taxes, are expected to reach $9.87 billion, up 6.7 percent from 2016-17. * oil production tax collections are projected to generate $4.7 billion in the 2018-19 biennium, a 32.3 percent increase from $3.6 billion generated in the current biennium; natural gas tax collections in the 2018-19 biennium are expected to be $1.7 billion, 27 percent more than the $1.3 billion collected in 2016-17. * the state’s franchise tax revenue for all funds is estimated to be $7.8 billion for 2018-19, a 2.4 percent increase.

GISD chief says A-F rating ‘not a legitimate rating’

By Jim Bardwell The Gladewater ISD school board was advised of GISD’s rating in a recently released performance report by the state at its monthly meeting held Monday night. Assistant Superintendent Dr. Julie Davis highlighted the - A-F rating system, which is a provisional set of accountability ratings for school districts and campuses across the state by the Texas Education Agency. The system change comes as a result of House Bill 2804 passed by the 84th Texas Legislature in 2015. According to the TEA, the new rating system measures year-over-year district and student performance beyond State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness results. This system will officially be implemented in the 2017-18 academic The Mirror misspelled Mary Ann Cumbie’s name in a recent year, reflecting district and student performance in the 2016-17 article. We regret the error. academic year.

The A-F ratings are a change from the “met standard,” “met alternative standard,” and “improvement required” ratings given to school districts and campuses in previous years. Gladewater ISD didn’t fair well, but Superintendent Dr. J.P. Richardson said it was “not a legitimate rating.” He said it “doesn’t accurately represent what our teachers and students are doing in the classroom.” School officials across the state are opposed to the A-F rating system and are asking the Legislature to repeal House Bill 2804. In other business: * The board was told $12,000 to $13,000 will be taken from the reserve to paint the baseball and softball fences. * The board approved three requests for tax refunds, all for late homestead exemption filing. * The board approved paying RLM $131,187.49 for construction of Bond Project 2014 as of January 9, 2017. * The board approved a contract with the City of Gladewater for the collection of taxes for 2017. * The board approved an agreement between Gladewater ISD and the City of Gladewater to hold a joint election on May 6, 2017.

In some ways, 2016 was a tumultuous year. It will likely be remembered for a divisive Presidential election, but also a record high stock market. Terror attacks in several nations, but global enjoyment of the Olympic Games. For the economy, 2016 brought both continued improvement and notable changes, including long-awaited decisions from the Federal Reserve and OPEC. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the US economy added 178,000 new net jobs in November (the most recent data available at the time of this printing). The average monthly job growth during 2016 was 180,000, somewhat lower than 2015’s average of 229,000. Overall, the economy has added 2.25 million jobs since last November. Most of these jobs (99%) were created in the services-providing sectors, though the goods-producing sectors did see a net job gain of 12,000 over the past year, with growth in construction offsetting losses in the manufacturing as well as mining and logging sectors. The largest gains in the services-providing sectors were in education and health services and professional and business services, which saw an increase of 581,000 and 571,000 jobs over the past year, respectively. The unemployment rate fell to 4.6 percent in November, down from 4.9 percent the previous month and from 5.0 percent last November. The number of long-term unemployed has declined by 198,000 since last November to 1.9 million, accounting for 24.8 percent of the unemployed. The number of involuntary part-time workers (those who would prefer full-time employment but have only been able to find part-time work) has fallen by 416,000 over the past year to 5.7 million. Although employment growth was lackluster at the beginning of 2016, the continued strength in the labor market since midyear has been an important indicator for the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve System (the Fed). Citing the improving labor market as well as moderately rising household spending and slightly increased inflation, the Federal Reserve approved an interest rate hike in mid-December, making it the second interest rate hike since the federal funds rate was cut during the aftermath of the 2008 recession. The unanimous decision came along with stronger optimism over future economic conditions, including the economy moving even closer to full employment and inflation reaching the desired 2 percent level over the medium term. Even the Fed’s expectations for GDP growth have recently been increased slightly to 2.1 percent in 2017 (our forecast is modestly higher). The Fed also indicated in their latest statements that the Committee foresees three increases in 2017, a number which has surprised some market analysts and, of course, could well be modified if conditions change. Regardless of the exact number of rate changes in 2017, the Fed is committed to only gradual increases that will be driven by incoming data throughout the year rather than a set schedule. For perspective, in 2016, many predicted that the Fed would raise rates three times, but the central bank only just now raised rates once due to unexpected intervening factors, such as the lower economic activity of the first half of 2016, uncertainty over Brexit, and lower inflation (in part due to lower energy prices). The record-low oil prices of 2016 could become a thing of the past as energy prices are already responding to a production cut that was agreed upon by OPEC (the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) at the end of November and other oil-producing nations shortly thereafter. The member nations, with the exception of Nigeria and Libya which are still recovering from production interruptions, have agreed to cut crude oil production by 1.2 million barrels per day beginning in this month. Russia, a non-OPEC member, announced it would cooperate as well and lower production by 300,000 barrels per day. Oman, another non-OPEC member, has also indicated that it will cut its crude oil volumes by 5 percent. While any production agreement is only important if it is actually enacted, thus far it appears that the nations will live up to their agreement. For example, there are signs that Kuwait and Oman are already implementing their production cut of about 175,000 barrels per day. While some of the details for 2017 have been filled in, it is mostly still up in the air (much as life always is). There is also still a lot of uncertainty over the Trump Administration (which does not neatly fit in any historical boxes) and its policies, various conflicts around the world, and several other topics. Even so, individuals, businesses, and markets appear to be reacting optimistically, and there is reason to believe that economic expansion and oil price recovery will continue well into the New Year. _____________________________________________

George H. Cloud, Sr.

George H. Cloud, Sr. (a.k.a. “Sonny” and “Papa”) departed his earthly home on January 6, 2017. He was born in Cotton Valley, LA on October 31 (appropriately enough!), 1929, to Sam and Isha Cloud. George was preceded in death by two sisters, Audrey Jean and Pat, and wife of 36 years, Mary Margaret Morrison Cloud. He is survived by his wife Barbara, son George, Jr. and wife Karen of Union Grove, son Mark and wife Tammy of White Oak, and daughter Connie Cloud-Silva and husband Ramon of Longview, stepson Noel Howlett and wife Linda of Lake Cherokee, stepson Casey Howlett and wife Tammy of Fort Worth, stepson Lee Howlett of Marshall, six grandchildren (Brett and wife Taylor, Hunter and wife Jaci, Kelli and husband Stephen Barton, Melissa and husband Kyle Lake, Sam and wife Amanda, and Mary-Alyse Silva), and seven great-grandchildren. At a young age, George and his family moved to Northeast Texas at the time of the 1930’s oil boom. He attended Gladewater schools where he was proud to be a part “of the best high school band in the country.” After George and Mary married, they moved to White Oak where they started a grocery store business and raised their children. Later, he worked at Texas Eastman and Stroh’s Canning Plant. George also showed off his carpentry skills in the construction of homes. George dearly loved his family and friends. His door and his heart were always open to share old stories, laugh and tell jokes, play cards, and take folks fishing. He will be sorely missed. We are especially grateful for the attention and love shown by CareTeam Hospice, especially Cora Drake Holt, Carrie Henson, and Sherry Dickson. Also, thanks to his sitters Clara Cooper and Cassie White for the care they gave. A Celebration of Life service will be held at 2:00 p.m. Monday, January 9, 2017 in the Chapel of Rader Funeral Home of Longview. Burial will follow in Lakeview Memorial Gardens. Visitation will be held from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Sunday at the funeral home. A memorial guestbook may be signed at www.raderfh.com.
