Celebrate Sam Rayburn’s Birthday at the Sam Rayburn 07/02/19House

By: Stacie Flood, Sam Rayburn House State Historic Site

Sam Rayburn would have turned 140 years old in January of 2022. Born January 6, 1882 in Roane

County, Tennessee, young Sam came to Fannin County, Texas with his family in 1887. His adult life saw him

working as a teacher, lawyer, Texas State Representative, United State Congressman, and ultimately Speaker

Shonda

of the U.S. House of Representatives. His congressional duties meant he spent most of his birthdays in Washington D.C., but Bonham was always in his heart. “I tell you what’s a fact,” Rayburn was known to say, “I can leave this place and go home

A 54-50 district fourth-place play-in loss to Wolfe City -in overtime -- nixed an 18thconsecutive postseason trip. A 42-40 overtime win on Dec. 21 at Tom Bean -- a reigning 14-2A co-champion -- by Honey Grove gave an

indication: The Lady Warriors’ first consecutive girls basketball postseason misses since 2002 and 2003 aren’t likely in February 2022. Honey Grove (1-1) will resume 14-2A play on Jan. 4, hosting Celeste.

Leonard alumna Bennett continues career into fourth hoops year for Ouachita Bapt.

By Rich Hilliard

Jessi Bennett has extended her women’s basketball career into a fourth season at Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Ark. The 2018 Leonard graduate, a 5-3 guard, started five of eight games before Christmas, averaging 23.125 minutes. She has totaled 28 points, 15 assists, 13 rebounds and seven steals. Leonard’s Jessi Bennett. Bennett has made 8-of-10 Ouachita Baptist courtesy photo free throw attempts and hit six 3-pointers. Earlier in 2021, she started seven and played in each of Ouachita Baptist’s nine games -- its schedule limited to in-state Great contests due to COVID-19 American Conference concerns. Bennett had a

team-leading 20 steals, averaging 4.2 points and 2.4 rebounds. In high school, Bennett made multiple advances to State in cross country, helped the girls basketball team win an undefeated district title en route to the regional quarterfinals during her senior season and was part of Leonard’s 2015 and 2018 State championship girls track teams.

In honor of Bro. Bill Beasleys’ dedication and the timelessness of his articles, we will continue to publish his writings for an extended period. Thank you to his family for allowing our readers to enjoy his experiences for many issues to come. Original Publish Date: January 7, 2014

For the next several weeks I will be sharing

with you memories from the final phase of my prisoner of war days. As I was to know later, the dangerous times that followed my capture were largely over. Many difficulties yet unknown to me were just ahead. Three weeks had passed since Sept 5, 1944 and I had arrived at Stalag Luft I where I would spend the remainder of my captivity – how long- I did not know. Even though the war was moving in the Allies’ favor. Only time would tell when victory would come and I would be free again. Stalag Luft I is the name of the prison camp. The word Stalag means prison. The word Luft means air and suggests that this was a

camp for captive allied airmen. The “I” means it was the first such camp to be established. I am not sure what my thoughts were after the first couple of weeks. The first thought may well have been one of intense longing for home, but at the same time one of a living hope. I am sure there was a fear of the unknown. But then there was a faith in the “Known One”. In spite of my fears I was determined to stay as positive as possible. I knew God had a plan for my life and I rested my faith in the thought that He was working the plan. I was to learn much later how true this thought was to be. My central thought in this week’s column

Romans 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Romans 12:18 recognizes that while we can’t control everything, we should try our best to seek peace. For instance, you can’t control someone else’s anger or vitriol, but you can control yourself. By controlling our words, our actions, and our conduct, we can encourage peace rather than discord. For example, as believers, we should purposely avoid provoking strife or fighting. Include and make time for GOD this Sunday at 11:00.

is “Facing Life’s Unknown”. As I faced many unknowns some 69 years ago so do we face unknowns today. I found my faith adequate then - so do I submit that our trust in Him will be adequate today. This is today’s challenge. God has given us the beginning of a New Year 2014. How much of it God will give we do not know. However, we will be called to give an account for what is ours. We do not know the joys, nor the sorrows. We do not know the successes, nor the failures. We have a loving God who is willing, able, and anxious to help us to have the best year of our life. Let me suggest two passages of scripture that will be helpful. Psalms 121: 1, 2 Philippians 3: 13, 14

(AUSTIN, Texas – December 30, 2021) A new state law gives Texans additional time to renew their vehicle registration online. House Bill 2152 allows online registration renewals up to 12 months past the expiration date. Previously, Texans could renew expired registrations online up to nine months past the expiration

date. Customers who renew late will still be responsible for paying for a full year of registration. Additionally, anyone renewing between 10 and 12 months after their registration expires will have the option to renew for both the current (past-due) registration year and the next registration year at the same

time. The month of expiration will not change for Texans using this option. Registration and local county fees will be doubled when registration is renewed for both years; however, only one Processing and Handling Fee will be charged. To renew your registration online visit TxDMV. gov or Texas.gov.

remember what the Bible tells us in Hebrews 12:1-2. 1.Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the

author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For this week’s hymn, I turn to the writings of Christopher Wordsworth, who is the nephew of the poet William Wordsworth. Songs of

thankfulness and praise, Jesus, Lord, to you we raise, manifested by the star to the Magi from afar, branch of royal David’s stem, in your birth at Bethlehem. Anthems be to you addressed, God in man made manifest. If you are looking for a good church home, we invite you to come visit and worship

with us here at Central Baptist Church! Visitors are indeed our honored guests, and we hope to see you this coming Lord’s day! Josh Stevenson Central Baptist Church Bonham, TX https://www.facebook.com/ cbcfannin

Courtesy photo done for the Bois d’Arc Lake project, demonstrating the success of these efforts. Avian biology students from the University of North Texas received a special opportunity to participate in a study to evaluate, track and

band birds of prey flocking to the Riverby Ranch mitigation site. Riverby is a 15,000acre former ranch in its third year of restoration. “We saw 10 turkey vultures, three or four red-tailed hawks, a couple of harriers and two kestrels within two minutes of turning the corner to Riverby so that was magical. The birds were welcoming us to Riverby,” PhD student Kelsey Biles said about the first time her research crew arrived on-site. With most American raptors declining in population, the chance to study them in an environmentally rich, protected habitat is rare. Trapping the raptors gave the students valuable experience with key safety and research protocols that will

from and release the birds. Banding and collecting data by the students and faculty supports a variety of research efforts focused on the conservation of birds of prey, and it provides NTMWD key information on the success of its environmental improvements. Because raptors represent the top of the food chain, the presence and prevalence of many species indicate a healthy and thriving ecosystem. With the reduction of grasslands, raptor species are struggling. Birds are seeking refuge at Riverby which indicates a healthy ecosystem at work.

Lake Ralph Hall 2021: A Year of Progress

The cannon on the Fannin County Courthouse grounds with snow.

Press Release - This year has been one of incredible progress on Lake Ralph Hall. Since Upper Trinity’s groundbreaking ceremony last June, significant activities have occurred on both the State Highway 34 bridge and clearing for the Leon Hurse Dam. Upper Trinity’s contractor, Flatiron Constructors, Inc., has placed approximately 100

beams (of the 371) needed for the new bridge to span the lake. Granite Construction Company has completed site clearing of about 500 acres to begin building the dam. Additionally, the Upper Trinity Board last month approved $12.5 million in contracts for design of a 32-mile conveyance system needed to move water from the lake into Upper Trinity’s existing system, along with associated support, administrative and maintenance facilities. None of this would have been possible without our partners — the City of Ladonia, Fannin County and Upper Trinity Members and Customers. We are grateful for their support and look forward to continuing this coordinated effort to properly plan, construct and place the Lake Ralph Hall project into operation. Likewise, the next few years will be exciting ones for us at Upper Trinity and Fannin County. Next year, the pace of construction for the Leon Hurse Dam and Hwy 34 bridge projects will increase, leading to a dramatically new look. Design of certain lake facilities, including the raw water pump station and pipeline, will wrap up, with construction starting shortly thereafter. In late 2022, certain environmental improvements are scheduled to begin as part of the overall mitigation plan for the reservoir.

Also, District staff intend to work closely with the city and county as they strive to finalize the comprehensive land use plan and zoning regulations for the area around the new lake. Once Lake Ralph Hall is finished in late 2025 and becomes operational in early 2026, it will provide a much needed, new water supply for the District’s rapidly growing service area. The lake will also offer a variety of activities—for visitors and residents alike. Hunting, fishing, bird watching, boating and similar activities will bring visitors and provide lasting economic benefits for Ladonia and Fannin County, as well as other nearby cities and counties. It will also help to improve the North Sulphur River and continue providing fossil hunting opportunities in the area. We look forward to these exciting developments as we honor the legacies of Congressman Ralph Hall, Mayor Leon Hurse and Thomas E. Taylor. During this season of gratitude and joy, we remember that it is thanks to the foresight of many before us that this lake is becoming reality. Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Larry N. Patterson Executive Director Upper Trinity Regional Water District

Special End of Year Bonham City Council Meeting 1/4/22 – Community Needs

By Rose Schwartz

Tuesday, December 28, 2021, Mayor Pro Tem Kevin Hayes called to order at 5:30 p.m., a Special Meeting of the Bonham City Council in Mayor HL Compton’s absence. A quorum was established. 1. Consider and take action to select administration/project delivery service provider(s) to complete application and project implementation for the CDBG-CV, CRP (Community Development Block Grant – Coronavirus – Community Resiliency Program) funding administered by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA): City Manager Sean Pate explained that this was about the CDBG grant that had been typically used for wastewater projects and how this was a new category created in response to the Coronavirus Cares Act funding. The money allocated to that state agency was targeted for the specific use of future community/senior centers that could play a role in future pandemic/catastrophic events. With a January 19th deadline for filing, Mr. Pate said it was looked at if Bonham could apply for the grant and one potential area that stood out that could be used for the grant request was the Bonham Visitor Center at 327 N. Main St. Not-

ing a large downstairs basement and an upstairs area needing renovation that has never been used to its full capacity, he said the opportunity exists for that space to be renovated for future needs in the event of future catastrophic events mandating a need for a community gathering spot (vaccinations, warming area, shelter from tornadic activity, etc.). After he summed the agenda item, Mr. Pate asked the council for a motion to have Grant Works apply for this grant for funding for the community. A motion was made by Councilman Wayne Moore to award Grant Works to complete the application and the project implementation for the CRP Grant. A motion was seconded by Councilman Michael Evans and passed. 2. Consider and take action to select engineering/architecture service provider(s) to complete engineering/architecture services for the CDBG-CV (CRP) funding administered by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA): City Manager Sean Pate continued how this agenda item was related to the previous item and noted that after the council went out for proposals, the engineering firm of KSA Engineers Inc. was the only firm that presented a proposal. He explained how BEDCO is working with

the city on this and noted his confidence that this grant will be awarded to the city. With that, Mr. Pate read the resolution requesting the approval of KSA Engineering to be selected as the engineering/architecture company for the Community Resiliency Project. Councilman Timothy LaVergne II made the motion to approve with Michael Evans seconding the motion. Motion passed. 3. Consider and take action to authorize the City Manager to execute the First Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement between the City of Bonham and the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) stating the City will make improvements to the Lake Bonham Dam emergency spillway in lieu of NTMWD, and NTMWD agrees to pay the City a one-time payment for the improvements: City Manager Sean Pate detailed how this relates to the agreement between NTMWD and the City of Bonham and the design plans for Lake Bois D’Arc. He explained that a problem arose between the modification plans NTMWD had for the Lake Bonham Dam emergency spillway and the City of Bonham concerns that an “arched hump” in the middle of the channel way noted on their plans to be left behind, could cause future

flooding issues. After negotiating with NTMWD, it was determined that the City of Bonham could perform the modifications they felt necessary in lieu of NTMWD performing the work with NTMWD agreeing to pay them for the work. Director of Public Works, Lance Capehart, was on hand to explain that 95% of the work has been done with the channel having been widened and the grade lowered. Mr. Pate completed by saying that though not perfect, the work done would greatly improve the situation for the residents of Lake Bonham regarding future flooding situations. The total cost of the work done came to $189,000 and Mr. Pate asked for the council to authorize him to execute the agreement and seek reimbursement from NTMWD for the work the City of Bonham has done on this. A motion was made by Michael Evans, seconded by Kevin Hayes, and passed. 4. Adjourn: Motion was made, seconded, and passed to adjourn at 5:47 p.m.

Week of December 29, 2021

Cooper GOOD. Water lightly stained; 55 degrees. Fall fishing is holding steady. Largemouth bass are good on deep diving crankbaits, black or red plastic worms, chatter baits, and football jigs. The white bass and hybrids are good over humps and flats using silver or white slabs and chartreuse swimbaits. Crappie are fair with minnows working brush piles and timber in 16-25 feet of water. Catfish are good on punch bait and chicken liver. Fork FAIR. Water lightly stained; 62-64 degrees; 5.74 feet low. The lake is down about four feet and is fairly dangerous to navigate, so be extremely careful out there. Largemouth bass are good on ViperXP jigs around creek channels and drop-offs on big wood in 5-10 feet of water. Chatterbaits still picking up a few on windy banks an points in 3-5 feet of water. Suspending jerkbaits continue to be ok around points an creeks in 5-8 feet of water. Lavon GOOD. Water lightly stained; 55 degrees; 3.83 feet low. Lots of boaters on the lake due to the Holiday and good weather. Crappies are good on jigs and minnows in 25-30 feet of water. White bass are good in 5-10 feet of water on windblown banks using swimbaits and spinners, or on deep humps using slabs. Blue cats are great drifting with cut bait in 25-30 feet of water. Bass are good on suspended crankbaits, jigs, deep diving

crankbaits and soft plastics in 10-25 feet of water structure and suspended. Ray Roberts FAIR; Water lightly stained; 57 degrees; 0.75 feet low. White bass are moving quickly in 20-28 feet of water on main lake points biting on one-ounce silver and chartreuse slabs, with better luck on smaller slabs because the smaller size is most similar to what they are feeding on. The bass are moving quickly, so the bite is best on the bottom using Alabama jigs in 30-35 feet, letting the bait hit bottom and slowly reeling up. The bite is best while the wind is blowing and dies down when the wind does. Crappie are good on main lake brush piles 20-30 feet on minnows, with bigger fish in the Buck Creek area in the standing timber around 20 feet with bait suspended in the 10-12 feet of water. Tawakoni GOOD. Water lightly stained; 57 degrees; 1.94 feet low. Eater size channel and blue catfish are good on cut bait in the shallows. Crappie bite is fair. White bass and hybrid bass are good on the flats. Texoma EXCELLENT. Water lightly stained; 56 degrees; 1.05 feet low. Fishing is about the same as we head into the holiday weekend. Striped bass are good in the main luck on Alabama rigs, with larger fish biting on swimbaits around structure. The dead stick bite is also producing. Winter is the best time to catch trophy catfish.

Wednesday Morning Fishing. Thanks To Sam, Elaine And Kable From West, TX For Fishing With Us Out Of The Light House Marina. Awesome Morning! Until Next Time Be Safe And God Bless!

ATHENS – The month of January begins a new year and with it the beginning of the 36th season of the Toyota ShareLunker program when anglers across the state, and for that matter the nation, cast their lines and fish for Largemouth Bass in Texas’ world class fisheries. The Toyota ShareLunker program has played an integral part in making Texas a destination for hundreds of thousands of anglers in search of this prized sport fish. The 2021 season 35 was one for the record books. Last year saw multiple milestones reached and memories made by anglers and the dedicated Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) Inland Fisheries staff that make the program a success. Anticipation is high for what 2022 could have in store for anglers across the state and the nation. What better way to jump start the new year than to grab a pole and hit the water in search of a 13-pound plus Largemouth Bass. Nothing beats the feel of the line being cast, seeing the lure land on the water, and the anticipation of a strike from a possible fish of a lifetime. “The Sharelunker program contributes to the selective spawning and stocking of these world-class offspring and also helps us gather vital catch and genetic data to help our fisheries biologists better manage trophy bass populations throughout the great fisheries of Texas.” During the first three months of the season (Jan. 1 through March 31), anglers who reel in a 13+ pound bass can loan it to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for the ShareLunker selective breeding and stocking program. These anglers can call the ShareLunker hotline at (903) 681-0550 to report their catch 24/7 until April 1, 2022. Anglers who catch and donate one of these 13+ lunkers earn Legacy Class status, receive a catch kit filled with merchandise, a 13lb+ Legacy decal for their vehicle or boat, VIP access to the Toyota ShareLunker Annual Awards event and a highquality replica mount of their
