District Champ Bears to face Hughes Springs in playoffs

By Ellis Hayden With a 28-14 victory over the Tatum Eagles last Friday night, the Gladewater Bears clinched a share of the District 8-3A Division I Championship and the top seed for the UIL 3A Football playoffs. The Bears (7-3, 5-1) will face the Hughes Springs Mustangs (8-2, 4-2), the #4 seed from District 7-3A Div. I. The bi-district game is set for Friday, November 15 at Pine Tree Pirate Stadium in Longview at 7:30 pm. The Hughes Springs Mustangs come out of the tough District 7-3A Division I. Four teams in that district including the Mustangs finished the season

with 8-2 overall records. Hughes Springs had losses to Mt. Vernon (35-14) and Hooks (35-19). The Bears and Hughes Springs had only one common opponent this season in Atlanta. The Bears lost to Atlanta, 35-28 in the second game of the season. Hughes Springs defeated Atlanta, 32-29 in week six. The Mustangs and Bears met last year in the Bi-District round at Hallsville Bobcat Stadium, with the Gladewater defeating the Hughes Springs, 35-21. The Mustangs are led by the running back tandem of Trayvonn Kennedy and Isaiah Bolden who Continued on Page 10

GREGG COUNTY

Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar announced today he will send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts $849.6 million in local sales tax allocations for November, 4 percent more than in November 2018. These allocations are based on sales made in September by businesses that report tax monthly, and sales made in July, August and September by quarterly filers. Gladewater’s sales tax revenue continued to rise for the sixth month-in-arow - up 6.94-percent over the same period last year - $120,953.81 compared to $113,099.43. This helps Gladewater to climb ahead of 2018’s totals by 5.59-percent . “We have had new business growth in Gladewater occurring over the past six months,” said Gladewater Mayor JD Shipp. “I believe this has led to a cascade effect on the the sales tax growth over that same period. In speaking to Chamber President Lois Reed and Chamber Manager Marsha Valdetero, we have had approximately 15 new businesses open in Gladewater over that period of time.” White Oak’s local monthly sales tax revenue slipped -7.74-percent this reporting month - $73,975.78 compared to $80,189.58.

OPINION/EDITORIAL Ed Sterling

Suzanne Bardwell Newspapers & manners…

I may be certifiable…as in just a bit ‘off the beam’. Who in their right mind would go to Sam’s on a Saturday customer appreciation day? Me and about 1,000 other people that’s who. Lucky me I found a parking spot relatively close. Some folks were parked at Whataburger on Fourth Street. I grabbed a lone buggy in the parking lot and hustled my way into the frenzy. For my trouble I found a $10 Lee comfy shirt for hubby and a $10 sweater. I think I saved a whopping $10. Like I said…certifiable. BUT, I did have a profound Sam’s Club moment. One that shocked the shoes right off my feet. A woman and her two pre-teen daughters and their grandfather were shopping in front of me. The mother was oblivious, as were the girls as they blocked the entire aisle. The grandfather kindly told his granddaughters to move out of the way. What happened next is why I was shoeless. The mother whipped her head around and told her father that her girls were “looking at something”. Well, that “something” had to be on the floor in the middle of the aisle because Mom was looking at the children’s books and they were playing. The grandfather, angry and embarrassed, simply walked away…which may explain his adult daughter’s behavior. Now, the girls learned a lesson that day and it wasn’t about courtesy. It was about entitlement. And that does not bode well for their future or the people who have to deal with them. Entitlement comes in many forms. Sometimes it is the expectation that we are owed something without ‘doing’ anything to get it. Or, we don’t appreciate opportunities that are available. On the other hand, at Gladewater’s Holiday Open House I met three young men from Gilmer who were caroling because their history teacher and owner of Walker Manor, Memori Ruesing, asked them to. Three 17-ish year old boys (Seth Osborne, Kalen Huey and Buddy Denton). And they could sing. They even came to the community Christmas Tree lighting and backed up the caroling there with energetic joy. Their manners were a credit to their parents and their honed singing talent to their choir teacher. Later, as hubby and I sat people watching outside the new Booshay’s restaurant several G (as in Gladewater) HS grads who had been football players we have taken hundreds of pictures of over their years in high school took the time to come to our table, speak to Jim, and give me a hug. That meant a great deal. We work really hard to cover our community with our hometown newspaper. And when we get those hugs or ‘thumbs up’ it means more than people can possibly know.

THE ECONOMIST

The US labor market is tight, with national unemployment rates well below the 4% level commonly considered“full employment.” There is perhaps some modest slack, with millions unemployed and others working part-time when they’d rather be working full time. Nonetheless, there are ample signs that even this limited supply of potential workers is diminishing in most markets and industries. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 128,000 in October, which was significantly more than most analysts were expecting but well

All the pictures we provide on the Gladewater Mirror’s Facebook free and shareable are our gift to our community family. But there is one thing you need to know. The ONLY reason they are there is because we own the newspaper. If this newspaper doesn’t exist neither will those pictures or the free streaming of the City Council meetings, or the publication of needs such as Manna House, the Clothes Closet, the Backpack program, Angel Tree kids, scouting and, well the list is endless. Also we provide local advertising of local businesses, and many events run free of charge in our What’s Happening page. So, if you enjoy the services and gifts we provide please subscribe to the newspaper. IF you already subscribe consider giving a gift subscription to someone else. And if you own a business, you need to know that research shows that newspaper advertising is the most effective vehicle to reach an audience. Newspapers still reign supreme with advertising benefits that can’t be found anywhere else. Newspaper advertising targets specific demographics that are traditionally harder to reach with other mediums. Newspaper advertising is more flexible with multiple platforms available. Also, newspaper advertising costs less per thousand readers than television, radio and direct mail advertising. And, no surprise here, print readers have a bigger attention span. The digital age has pretty much killed the human attention span because of multitasking rendering much online advertising not self sought ineffective. Research shows that print readers focus on the newspaper. Also, research solidly shows that 63 percent of adults read the newspaper and pay specific attention while doing so. That’s why 80 percent of adults will take action on newspaper ads, including visiting brickand-mortar locations. Research also shows that 52 percent of adults use newspapers to plan shopping. And, of course, a weekly newspaper tends to have a much longer shelf life than other formats for advertising. Wouldn’t it be sad if the Gladewater Mirror joined the many papers that have gone out of business in Texas because advertisers and readers didn’t support them despite their importance and effectiveness. After all, we aren’t just “rainbows and unicorns”, as one of my best advertiser’s says. We are, what our Founding Fathers called the Watchdog of Democracy. We let you know how your taxes are being invested, spent, and the return you are getting. We explain city and school budgets, community board actions and so much more that affects every citizen’s daily life. There is a reason that journalism is the only privately protected business specifically named in the Constitution of the United States. That reason is YOU. And we take our job of serving you very seriously. We hope you look forward to receiving your paper weekly and that what we have to share is important and entertaining. We also hope you continue to support the Gladewater Mirror because it most certainly supports you.

Jobs Snapshot

below the pace of the past eight years. After upward revisions for August and September job gains have averaged 176,000 over the past three months. Hiring was concentrated in food services and drinking places, social assistance, and financial activities. The General Motors strike dampened the numbers to some extent. The unemployment rate remains about where it has been for months at 3.6%. The number of unemployed persons changed little in October and is less than 5.9 million, down from more than 6.1 million a year prior. More than 2.3 million of these unemployed persons have recently entered or re-entered the job market, and many will be hired almost immediately. The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons, meaning they would prefer to be working full time, is now about 4.4 million, down from 4.6

million last October. One sign of tight markets is rising wages as companies pay more to attract and retain quality employees. Over the past 12 months, average hourly earnings have increased by 3.0%, and wages and salaries have been increasing by a little less than 3% for the past couple of years. Labor costs in some industries are rising even faster; construction wages are up 3.5% over the past year. In some geographic areas and some specialties, increases have been much more rapid. Although the number of job openings has fallen slightly, it remains at about 7.0 million. In other words, there are far more jobs than there are unemployed people, even before accounting for the mismatches in skills and geographies. It’s a good problem to have, but it’s still a problem. The economy requires a certain

number of extra workers to function efficiently, and there just aren’t very many of them. There are signs the US economy is slowing (though still growing), and the labor market may ease moderately as a result. At the same time, the shortage of workers is constraining growth in some areas and industries. Over the long term, market solutions will emerge, from automation to artificial intelligence to improved immigration policies and job training initiatives. Until then, expect wages to continue to edge up as competition for workers remains intense. __________________________ Dr. M.

Cash report is released

The State of Texas finished the 2019 fiscal year with unspent revenue, according to a new report. Texas Comptroller Glen Hegar on Nov. 4 announced the publication of the State of Texas Annual Cash Report, a 458-page document, for the fiscal year that ended Aug. 31. The report, summarized in a cover letter to Gov. Greg Abbott, presents the state’s financial condition and details revenues and expenditures on a cash basis as required by state law. The Consolidated General Revenue Fund ended the year with a cash balance in the state treasury of $8.4 billion, an increase of $3.9 billion, or 88.1 percent, from fiscal 2018. The change in the balance, Hegar said, is largely due to an increase in tax collections.

BIBLE TRUTH # 3 Can we really know the truth? Many believe that God and the Bible are mysterious and unknowable. They are taught that man’s mind is so corrupt, and the Bible is a book so shrouded in mystery, that one cannot understand it without supernatural guidance. No greater deception could be foisted on man. Many believe that the Bible “is but a dead letter and needs the clergy to divinely interpret it for them.” Calvinism contends that people need an inward supernatural guidance and teaching by the Holy Spirit to understand the Bible. Don’t believe these erroneous ideas. In the parable of the sower, Jesus said, “He that hears the word, and UNDERSTANDS it” (Matt. 13: 23). The apostle Paul declared that those who read the words he wrote can “perceive” (UNDERSTAND) his understanding of the mystery of Christ (Eph. 3: 1-4). Later, in the same epistle he said, “Be ye not foolish, but UNDERSTAND what the will of the Lord is” (5: 17). Jesus said to those Jews which believed on Him, “If you continue in My word, then are you My disciples indeed, and you shall KNOW the truth and the truth shall make you free” (Jn. 8: 31-32). If language means anything, truth can be KNOWN! Also, we must know the truth in order to be saved because “God desires all men to be saved and to come to the KNOWLEDGE (understanding) of the truth”(1 Tim.2: 4). Such would be impossible if truth was unknowable! If we cannot know the truth, why are we admonished to study and meditate on the Scriptures? (2 Tim. 2: 15; Jn. 5: 39; Acts 17: 11; Ps. 1: 1-2). The big problem concerning KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING the truth, is that people reject God’s truth, not because they cannot KNOW it, but because they REJECT it. One who has an honest heart and strong desire to understand the truth, if he will exercise discipline, study hard, and apply sound principles of interpretation, can comprehend the Scriptures. More to come. Think on these things . ..

Smith wins seat on UGISD board By Phillip Williams Upshur County voters followed the statewide trend by approving nine of 10 proposed amendments to the Texas state constitution on Tuesday of last week, while Justin Smith easily defeated William (Slim) Matthew for a seat on the Union Grove school board. The only proposition rejected was number one, which would have let individuals simultaneously hold more than one office as a municipal judge. Smith, meantime, garnered 64.6 percent of the vote in defeating Matthew in complete, but unofficial returns, 210-120. Smith won the Place 2 board seat vacated by Jeff Webb’s resignation in July, and will serve the duration of Webb’s unexpired term, which extends through November 2022. Smith was scheduled to be inaugurated at Monday night’s (Nov.11) board meeting in the Union Grove High School library. As for the nine propositions which passed, all won easily in Upshur County, and all but one passed overwhelmingly statewide. That was proposal number nine, which will let the legislature exempt precious metal, held in a precious metal depository in Texas, from ad valorem taxation. While Upshur County Election Administrator Lory Harle’s office said that proposal received 2,269 votes for to 1,578 against locally, the Texas secretary of state’s website showed it wo only 51.6 percent of the statewide vote in unofficial returns. The proposal which drew perhaps the most attention--number four--bans imposing “an individual (state) income tax, including a tax on an individual’s share of partnership and unincorporated association income.” (Texas currently has no state income tax). It passed here 3,518 to 491, and received 74.41 percent of the statewide vote, in unofficial returns, election agencies reported. Other proposed amendments which won approval, and the local unofficial margins by which they were approved, included: Number 2, which lets the Texas Water Development Board issue up to $200 million in additional bonds “to provide financial assistance for the development of certain projects in economically distressed areas.” (2,243 to 1,664) Number 3, which lets the state legislature temporarily exempt, from ad valorem taxation, part “of the appraised value of certain

property damaged by a disaster.” (3,269 to 653) Number 5, which dedicates “revenue received fom the existing state sales and use taxes that are imposed on sporting goods” to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the Texas Historical Commission for certain purposes. (3,390 to 539). Number 6, which lets the legislature “increase by $3 billion the maximum bond amount authorized for the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas.” (2,341 to 1,566) Number 7, permitting “increased distribution to the available school fund.” (2,716 to 1,223) Number 8, creating a flood infrastructure fund to assist financing “drainage, flood, mitigation and flood control projects.” (2,691 to 1,226) Number 10, allowing the transferring of a “law enforcement animal to a qualified caretaker in certain circumstances.” (3,687 to 279) The proposal concerning municipal judgeships was rejected locally, 2,546 to 1,404, and by 65.44 percent of voters statewide. , in unofficial returns, election agencies reported. Of Upshur County’s 27,404 registered voters, 4,059 (14.81 percent) voted in the Nov. 5 election, Harle’s office said.

Care Letters will be accepted through Dec. 18

WASHINGTON, D.C. - 2019 marks the ninth year that America’s Adopt A Soldier® will reach out to America to ask for cards of thanks to share with our nation’s service members who are deployed and veterans who are in state veterans homes and hospitals. “In 2018, over 200,000 care letters were shared,” said Mary Keeser, America’s Adopt A Soldier ® Founder. “This year, the goal is to reach over 300,000, which would allow us to send at least four letters to every veteran in a veterans home or veterans hospital as well as to our deployed service members.” “The cards and letters we receive are drawn or written by a diverse group of individuals, from 3-years-old to the over 100-years-old,” Mary adds. From kitchen tables to classrooms, to businesses, to college dorms to faith-based establishments, the pens, pencils, crayons and pieces of paper used to create messages of hope, appreciation, unity and support will have a positive impact. The letters of care are truly the caring pulse of America towards our service men and women.” To participate in the 2019 National Care Letter Campaign, mail your personal written and designed letter or greeting card to America’s Adopt A Soldier, 5400 Shawnee Road, Suite #300, Alexandria, Va. 22312 For more information visit: www.americasadoptasoldier.org
