well as the candidate for Commissioner Pct 4 – Doug Kopf; the candidate for Commissioner Pct 2 – Incumbent A J Self; and the candidate for Treasurer – Incumbent David

Our “Letter to the Editor” section is composed of letters submitted to The Fannin County Leader by our readers. The views expressed in these letters are not necessarily the views of The Fannin County Leader. Political letters must be paid for, in advance. To submit a letter, please e-mail fcleditor2020@gmail.com. It is our goal to be fair and neutral relating to political issues. We welcome Letters to the Editor on topics that would be of concern and interest to the community. The decision to publish is left to the Editor and Management.
Letters to the Editor When I was a small boy, my Dad took my brother and me to a house on Park Ave., in Bonham. Inside the old house Dr Jack Saunders inoculated us with the smallpox vaccine. It was a little scary but all was well. That memory got me to think about vaccines and science in general. For example George Washington had his troops to take the vaccine during our War for Independence. Louis Pasteur discovered the Rabies vaccine. Marie Curie discovered Radioactivity that led to Radiation which has saved many millions from Cancer. Alexander Fleming came up with Penicillin. Dr Jenner solved the smallpox terror while other scientist learned that flea bites infected people with the Bubonic Plague. Blood letting was finally stopped as a cure for almost everything. Dr Lister came with Antiseptics. In the 1950’s President Eisenhower ordered all children to take the Polio Vaccine that Dr. Jonas Salk had discovered. When I was a kid, Measles, Mumps and Whooping Cough were common. Today all those diseases have effective vaccines, as well as Diptheria. In the military when I was in bootcamp in 1969 everybody was required to take numerous shots and did not even know what they were.
We simply trusted in science, and why not. Tuberculosis had been conquered along with many others such as yellow fever. Flu shots and Pneumonia shots are available in many drug stores. When the Wright Brothers flew the first airplane it eventually led to space flight. If Rudolph Diesel had not created the diesel engine we would still have coal fired steam engines. Edison gave the light bulb. Countless doctors and scientists have given us a better and healthier life. The Covid vaccines are just the latest examples of this. I will not wrap myself in the flag or shake a bible about it. All I offer is simply hard facts and good common sense. Jerry Harris Dear Editor, This is in regarding the BEDCo story about the sign at the Highway 56/121 entry into Bonham. Please note that Master Gardeners are
not a club. The Fannin County Master Gardener Association was established in 1998. Members are certified as Master Gardeners after attending a minimum 50 hours of college level training in horticulture, water, soil, conservation and more. We work under the Texas A&M Agrilife University and Extension Service. Following training, a trainee must complete hours of volunteer work in the county. Each year after training requires more volunteer hours and continuing education classes to remain certified. We host an annual Home, Lawn and Garden Expo, present seminars and programs on horticultural topics, and provide speakers for other organizations. If you are interested in learning more about Master Gardeners, please call the Extension Office at 903-583-7453. Jacque Kyle, Master Gardener since 2002

John 1:1, 14
Some years ago, I had the privilege of attending church with a friend. The preacher for the morning service brought a message on the subject “Who Is Jesus?” This is the question the answer
to which is a truth that we have to live by today. Our scripture for this week is found in the Gospel of John Chapter 1. John 1:1 and John 1:14 point out that Jesus is eternal with the Father. He was called the Word. The truth we look at today is that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. His purpose in doing so was to reveal the Father more perfectly, to show us the Heavenly Father and to become our sacrifice on the Cross of Calvary. This was not an

He also commented on how Channel 12 incorrectly reported that we were in a burn ban and wanted to make it known that Fannin County is currently “not in a burn ban”. 9. Discussion regarding Fannin County Regional Trails Master Plan: Duke Monson with the Fannin County Equestrian Trails Association spoke about a plan that was approved to be created three years ago having finally been completed. He noted that the plan will be on the County’s website for all those who are interested in viewing it. He then went on to explain that the plan has the features that are in the county today i.e.: natural resources, population growth, etc. and notes that the groups that would benefit from the plan are hikers, horse equestrians, bicyclers, kayakers and canoeists. He further stated this plan is for the future and could possibly take 10 to 20 years before it comes to fruition. He concluded by saying the end of the plan lists the different agencies that could be sources of funding and how to go forward with the plan. When he asked if there were any questions, there was some discussion regarding different aspects of the plan including the utilization of abandoned rail lines and involving possible future commercial rail lines. 10.

Discussion, consideration and action regarding KFYN Radio Tower contract for bare land lease: Commissioner Self explained that as a result of his lease amount being increased, Judge Carter requested he put this item on the agenda. Judge Carter then spoke of the tower East of TMC Hospital and West of Precinct 4 that has been there since 1948 and how KFYN has owned the tower and leased the land from the county. He continued that since he has owned the radio station, there has been a three-year lease on the land which recently expired September 30, 2021. He said he was notified that at the end of his three-year lease, his rent would be going up from $200.00 to $1,050.00 a month for a two-year lease. Due to that increase, he said instead of renewing his lease, He explained the reason he wanted to address the court was about the tower still located on the property. He said he could have it torn down or Fannin County could have it for free if they have use of it. After some discussion it was decided the court could take one week to decide whether they could make use of the tower or notify Judge Carter to arrange to have it removed. A motion was made by Commissioner Lane to table this item till next week, seconded by Commissioner Lackey and passed. 13.

obtaining custodial services for the county buildings. Fannin County Purchasing Agent Michelle Case, then spoke via Zoom on the custodial service business bids she received. It was noted that Max Pro Enterprise’s bid was $1,700.00 per month for three county buildings as opposed to the other company’s bid of $2,250 per month.

FBI Releases Statistics for Law Enforcement Officers Assaulted and Killed in the Line of Duty
Press Release - According to statistics reported to the FBI, 59 police officers were killed in the line of duty from January 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021. This marks a 51 percent increase in the number of police officers killed when compared to the same period last year. Nationally, 60,105 law enforcement officers were assaulted while performing their duties in 2020. These assaults were reported to the FBI by 9,895 law enforcement agencies. Based on these reports, there were 4,071 more officers assaulted in 2020 than the 56,034 assaults reported in 2019. In an interview during Police Week events last week, FBI Director Christopher Wray reflected on the sacrifices of the Bureau’s law enforcement partners, who risk their safety to protect the public. “We are looking at now 59 officers or agents murdered in the line of duty this year. That’s an over 50 percent increase from last year. That basically translates to every five days--more often than every five days in this country--an officer is murdered in the line of duty. And that’s totally unacceptable, and it’s a tragedy and it needs attention,” Wray said. In FBI Dallas’s area of responsibility, four police officers have been killed in the line of duty for 2021. This includes
a deputy sheriff and sergeant from the Concho County Sheriff’s Office, a sergeant from the Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office, and a Dallas Police Officer who was assisting a motorist. Overall, seven police officers in Texas were killed in the line of duty during 2021. This surpasses the five police officers feloniously killed in 2020. “The statistics released this week are a stark reminder of the dangerous work done by law enforcement every day,” said FBI Dallas Special Agent in Charge Matthew DeSarno. “The FBI values our partnerships with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. We will continue to assist and offer resources when called upon.” Nationally • 59 police officers killed in the line of duty from January 2021 through September 2021. • This includes two special agents from the FBI’s Miami Field Office. • Of the 60,105 officers who were assaulted in 2020, 18,568 (30.9%) sustained injuries. • 44,421 officers were assaulted with personal weapons (e.g., hands, fists, or feet); 25.8% of these officers were injured. • 2,744 officers were assaulted with firearms; 6.1% of these officers were injured. • 1,180 officers were

assaulted with knives or other cutting instruments; 9.7% of these officers were injured. • The remaining 11,760 officers were assaulted with other types of dangerous weapons; 16.8% of these officers were injured. Texas 2020 • 12 officers were assaulted in the state of Texas. • Two of those assaults occurred in the DallasFort Worth area • 1 Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) officer • 1 Plano police officer • 6 officers were accidentally killed in Texas. • In Grand Prairie, an officer was accidentally struck by a vehicle and died of their injuries. • 5 officers feloniously killed in Texas. • 2 McAllen police officers • 1 San Marcos police officer • 1 Houston police officer • 1 Houston Fire Marshal officer Data regarding these assaults were released in the Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) portion of the FBI’s Law Enforcement Data Explorer. 2020 assault data tables and companion documents are exclusively located on the FBI’s Law Enforcement Data Explorer (a subset of the Crime Data Explorer).

9/13/16 Statewide Banking Organization 2/16/21 Honors Legend Bank with 2021 Best of Community Banking Award 10-26-21 BOCB Award for its long-held tradition of providing great food at many of its public events. The bank makes use of a custom-built cooker, which travels to all of its branches for customer appreciation parties and events that support local nonprofit and community organizations, as well as first-responders and those in need. On the day of an event, the Legend Bank team is up at 4 a.m. preparing the cooker and meat. Barbecued ribs are a specialty. Everyone gets involved— including the CEO and president, branch presidents and board members—so it’s a great opportunity for team building and strengthening connections. IBAT has celebrated the outstanding accomplishments of Texas community banks with the BOCB Award since 1991. Community banks play a critical role in their local communities. The Best of Community Banking competition is
designed to honor these banks for their commitment to helping their customers, neighbors, employees and community. BOCB Awards recognize community banks throughout the state for their innovation, creativity and success in fulfilling a specific community or internal need. Each submission receives a gold, silver or bronze award in one of six categories: bank culture, community service, financial literacy, marketing, architectural design and— new this year—pandemic response. “This past year has been challenging across the globe as we continue to fight the pandemic,” says Christopher Williston, IBAT president and CEO. “But community bankers have been truly inspiring during these difficult days by processing a majority (57.5 percent) of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans for small businesses and helping their communities when they were needed most.
This year’s BOCB Award recipients were particularly inspiring in their efforts to meet the challenges brought on by the pandemic, and this recognition is only a small token of our immense pride in Texas community banks to better the lives of those around them. I sincerely congratulate all of the 2021 BOCB Award recipients.”
COUN
conversion to a new online banking and mobile app was a top priority. In August 2020, more than 14,000 customers were converted to the bank’s new online banking and mobile app. Legend Bank’s education and marketing campaigns addressing the new app were comprehensive, deploying a variety of internal and external marketing and communication channels to reach the bank’s employees and customers. The metrics used to define the success of the transition included the number of users converted and the high percentage of users on the new system within the first two weeks of implementation, the exponential growth of user logins following conversion and how quickly the bank’s call volume returned to lowerthan-normal levels following the conversion. Legend Bank received a Gold Eagle BOCB Award for implementing the new online banking system. Legend Bank was honored with a 2021 Bronze Eagle

Sunday Morning Re-take Hello everyone! We had a wonderful service in God’s house Sunday morning! The spirit and fellowship were beautiful! The Bible tells us in Matthew 4:18-20: 18 And Jesus, walking by
the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make
you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. What the Lord said to Peter and Andrew in verse 19 is what He commands of us. He calls us to go those regions beyond, and be a witness for Him, to help others to come to the saving knowledge of Jesus
Christ. We don’t come to the kingdom of God by accident, someone helped us get there. For our hymn this week, I turn to a hymn written by B.B. McKinney, whose other hymns include, “Let Others See Jesus In You,” “Neath the Old Olive Trees,” and “Holy Spirit, Breathe On Me.” In this classic

12-4-18 Rocktober – More Than Just a Righteous Concert at Powder Creek 9/22/20Pavilion By Rose Schwartz This past Saturday the 16th, I not only got to enjoy a perfectly beautiful brisk October morning, but I also had the pleasure of meeting James Michael McLester, his lovely wife Kristen and their friends Bryan (singer for the 78 Live band) and his wife Christian Kersey (band manager.) They were in town tying up loose ends in preparation for their upcoming “Charity Costume Party Concert”, “Rocktober”.
You see, James Michael McLester is not only a nutritionist and an awardwinning drummer who will be playing drums for the “Modern Day Cowboys Tribute to TESLA”, but he is also a kidney transplant survivor who was helped by the awesome services of the HELP, HOPE, LIVE organization.

The three dynamic bands that will be filling the air with Rock will be 78 Live, 38 Special Delivery and Texas Modern Day Cowboys. James Michael McLester was fortunate to have a good friend be a match for a kidney donation and had his transplant surgery in December of 2015 at a cost of $270,000, after 13 years of three days a week/four hours a day dialysis treatment. He had been diag-
Photo by Rose Schwartz nosed with kidney disease in 2001 due to mercury poisoning from faulty teeth fillings he had acquired in early childhood. Instead of yielding to despair and defeat, he chose to fight for his life and Help Hope Live helped him win that fight. This concert he says, is his way of paying it forward. James described the music of the “Modern Day Cowboys Tribute to TESLA” as Southern Classic Rock from the 70s, 80s 90s and more, that will be Family Friendly and relatable to not only the young, but the young at heart who may want to do more than just go home after a night of walking the kids around
the square for goodies. And, a night of music, might just be that treat, you didn’t know you needed!) Some of James Michael McLester’s accomplishments (other than surviving & thriving after a kidney transplant) include authoring the “Wannabe Rock Star Who Finally Found the Rock” book; Member of “Christian Drummers Hall of Fame”, and Co-Founder of “Living Out Loud”. His persistence, hope and faith has helped him overcome insurmountable obstacles and his dedication to life and never giving up, is truly an example, of what it means to “Rock On.”

Explanatory Statements for the November 2, 2021 Constitutional Amendment Election
Proposition Number 1 (HJR 143) HJR 143 proposes a constitutional amendment expanding the circumstances in which a professional sports team charitable foundation may conduct raffles to raise money for the foundation’s charitable purposes. The proposed amendment would allow professional sports team charitable foundations of organizations sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association or the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association to hold charitable raffles at rodeo events. The proposed amendment will appear on the ballot as follows: “The constitutional amendment authorizing the professional sports team charitable foundations of organizations sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association or the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association to conduct charitable raffles at rodeo venues.” Proposition Number 2 (HJR 99) HJR 99 proposes a constitutional amendment allowing the legislature to authorize a county to issue bonds or notes to finance the development or redevelopment of an unproductive, underdeveloped, or blighted area within the county and to pledge for repayment of those bonds or notes increases in property tax revenues imposed on property in the area by the county. The Texas Constitution gives the legislature the power to authorize an incorporated city or town to issue such bonds or notes but does not expressly give the legislature the power to grant that same authority to counties. The proposed amendment also provides that a county that issues bonds or notes for transportation improvements may not pledge for the repayment of those bonds or notes more than 65 percent of the increases in ad valorem tax revenues each year, and a county may not use proceeds from the bonds or notes to finance the construction, operation, maintenance, or acquisition of rights-of-way of a toll road. The proposed amendment will appear on the ballot as follows: “The constitutional amendment authorizing a county to finance the development or redevelopment of transportation or infrastructure in unproductive, underdeveloped, or blighted areas in the county.” Proposition Number 3 (SJR 27) SJR 27 proposes a constitutional amendment barring the State of Texas or a political subdivision from enacting, adopting, or issuing a statute, order, proclamation, decision, or rule that prohibits or limits religious services. The proposed amendment would apply to religious services, including those conducted in churches, congregations, and places of worship, in the state by a religious or-
ganization established to support and serve the propagation of a sincerely held religious belief. The proposed amendment will appear on the ballot as follows: “The constitutional amendment to prohibit this state or a political subdivision of this state from prohibiting or limiting religious services of religious organizations.” Proposition Number 4 (SJR 47) SJR 47 proposes a constitutional amendment changing certain eligibility requirements for a justice of the Supreme Court, a judge of the Court of Criminal Appeals, a justice of a court of appeals, and a district judge. The proposed amendment provides that a person is eligible to serve on the Supreme Court if the person, among other qualifications, is licensed to practice law in Texas; is a resident of Texas at the time of election; has been either a practicing lawyer licensed in Texas for at least ten years or a practicing lawyer licensed in Texas and a judge of a state court or county court established by the legislature for a combined total of at least ten years; and during that time has not had the person’s license to practice law revoked, suspended, or subject to a probated suspension. The same eligibility requirements would apply to a judge of the Court of Criminal Appeals and to a justice of a court of appeals. The proposed amendment further provides that to be eligible for appointment or election as a district judge, a person must be a resident of Texas; be licensed to practice law in Texas; and have been a practicing lawyer or a judge of a court in Texas, or both combined, for eight years preceding the person’s election, during which time the person’s license to practice law has not been revoked, suspended, or subject to a probated suspension. The proposed amendment will appear on the ballot as follows: “The constitutional amendment changing the eligibility requirements for a justice of the supreme court, a judge of the court of criminal appeals, a justice of a court of appeals, and a district judge.” Proposition Number 5 (HJR 165) HJR 165 proposes a constitutional amendment allowing the State Commission on Judicial Conduct (SCJC) to accept complaints or reports, conduct investigations, and take any other authorized action with respect to a candidate for a state judicial office. Currently, the Texas Constitution only permits the SCJC to take such actions as to persons holding a judicial office. The proposed amendment will appear on the ballot as follows: “The constitutional amendment providing additional powers to the State Commission on Judicial Conduct with respect to candidates for judicial office.”
Proposition Number 6 (SJR 19) SJR 19 proposes a constitutional amendment establishing that residents of certain facilities have the right to designate an essential caregiver with whom the facility may not prohibit in-person visitation. The proposed amendment would apply to a nursing facility, assisted living facility, intermediate care facility for individuals with an intellectual disability, residence providing home and community-based services, or state supported living center. The proposed amendment also would authorize the legislature to provide guidelines for these facilities to follow in establishing essential caregiver visitation policies and procedures. The proposed amendment will appear on the ballot as follows: “The constitutional amendment establishing a right for residents of certain facilities to designate an essential caregiver for in-person visitation.” Proposition Number 7 (HJR 125) HJR 125 proposes a constitutional amendment permitting a person who is 55 years of age or older at the time of death of their spouse who is receiving a limitation on school district property taxes on their residence homestead on the basis of a disability to continue receiving the limitation while the property remains the surviving spouse’s residence homestead. The proposed amendment will appear on the ballot as follows: “The constitutional amendment to allow the surviving spouse of a person who is disabled to receive a limitation on the school district ad valorem taxes on the spouse’s residence homestead if the spouse is 55 years of age or older at the time of the person’s death.” Proposition Number 8 (SJR 35) SJR 35 proposes a constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to exempt from ad valorem taxation all or part of the market value of the residence homestead of the surviving spouse of a member of the United States armed services who is killed or fatally injured in the line of duty. The Texas Constitution provides a property tax exemption to the surviving spouse of a member of the armed services who is killed in action, but the current exemption does not include members of the military who die during their service due to injuries sustained that are not combat-related. The proposed amendment will appear on the ballot as follows: “The constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to provide for an exemption from ad valorem taxation of all or part of the market value of the residence homestead of the surviving spouse of a member of the armed services of the United States who is killed or fatally injured in the line of duty.”

Bertie was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend. You can remember Bertie not only as a loving, strong, confident, and beautiful woman but also from the greetings, hugs, and smiles that she could light up any room with. Bertie will be greatly missed and forever loved. She

margins considerably, according to the latest Quarterly from CoBank. “Supply chain snarls are likely to persist well into 2022, and so will elevated inflation. The latest producer price index data for August was up 20% year-over-year, while the consumer price index increased just 5.2%,” Dan Kowalski, vice president of CoBank’s Knowledge Exchange division, said. “So, it’s clear that many businesses are passing only a small portion of those cost increases on to the final consumer. We expect that will change in the months ahead, and many businesses will raise prices.” The issues plaguing global supply chains could limit the availability of critical crop inputs, noted Kenneth Scott Zuckerberg, CoBank lead grain and farm supply economist. With a steady need for crop inputs like seed and chemicals, farm suppliers are well positioned for a strong fourth consecutive season, Zuckerberg wrote. But the raw inputs for many fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and insecticides are manufactured overseas. If those are unavailable or in short supply, agricultural retailer and farm cooperative profits could decrease considerably. Animal protein sectors like beef, pork and poultry have not escaped post-pandemic issues either. “Domestic supply chains continue to deal with disruptions as food service and retail outlets contend for availability,” CoBank Lead
Animal Protein Economist Brian Earnest said. “The pressure has been twofold, as elevated domestic consumption conflicted with both rising international opportunity and tight beginning stocks.” On dairy farms, rising feed and construction costs and labor shortages will keep the dairy cow herd constrained, even though domestic and export demand continues to
be strong, CoBank analysts said. “Farmers, ranchers and businesses across agriculture were beginning to get back on their feet after the nosedive in profits at the start of COVID-19 pandemic,” Texas Farm Bureau (TFB) Associate Director of Commodity and Regulatory Activities Brant Wilbourn said. “But now we’re starting to see some of the ramifications of factory closures across our supply chains, and analysts are predicting these issues will continue throughout 2022. So, we’re not out of the woods yet.” Consumers generally believe that when food and clothing prices go up, it’s because farmers and ranchers have raised their prices, Wilbourn said. But farmers and ranchers are more likely to see their profit margins shrink even more during these times. “I’d caution people to remember when they see higher prices at the grocery store in coming months that farmers and ranchers are price-takers. They don’t direct the prices they receive for their crops and livestock. Those are directed by market factors like labor or material shortages at the packaging plant and what processors are willing to pay them,” he said. “So, just know that farmers and ranchers are suffering along with you right now. They’re facing higher input costs and lower prices for their products, and they’re stuck in the middle.”

State champ Lady Hornets barely make 1A poll; DC boys in middle of pre-season hoops Top 25 By Rich Hilliard Defending Class 1A State girls champion Dodd City narrowly made the 2021-22 Top25 pre-season rankings by the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches. The Lady Hornets placed at No 22, having graduated or otherwise had depart all but two members of their 202021 starting line-up -which went 32-0 last
season to claim their first State title in the sport. Perennial champion Nazareth, which Dodd City defeated 30-21 in the title tilt on March 10, headed the 1A poll. Huckabay, which now includes former Dodd City standout scoring guard Rion Baccus on its roster, garnered the No. 3 ranking in the 1A girls poll which also included: No. 7. Slidell, No. 8. Chireno, No. 14. Saltillo
and No. 21. Neches. The Lady Hornets held Huckabay to no made field goals in a regional semifinals win, defeated Saltillo in the Region III-1A final and topped Neches in the State semifinals en route last winter to winning their title. Defending champion Brownfield led the 3A girls poll which also included No. 6 Gunter, a District 11-3A rival for
Bonham and Leonard. Lipan, also a defending champion, headed the 2A girls poll. Meanwhile, Dodd City also garnered the No. 13 spot in the 1A boys pre-season poll which was led by defending champion Texline. The Hornets again reached the area round last winter, before having their postseason cut short in a rematch with Slidell, the 2019 1A State
champion and a State finalist in 2020 and 2021. Defending champion Clarendon led the 2A boys poll which also included No. 8. Rivercrest which in the area round cut short Honey Grove’s deepest run in the boys basketball postseason since advancing likewise in 2013 in the then-named 1A Division I playoffs. San Antonio Cole, also a defending champion, topped the 3A boys poll
which also included: No. 2. Dallas Madison, No. 14. Commerce, No. 17. Paris Chisum and No. 20. Mineola.
