mas was sighted in the moonlight. Before noon on October 12, 1492 they made a landing and claimed the New World for Spain. My thought is this. God has a plan and purpose for each individual. To know God’s will for our life is the greatest knowledge we can ever have. To do God’s will is the greatest act of obedience.

Dear Editor, A few days ago, I was summoned to jury duty with the 336th Judicial District Court here in Fannin County. Much to my surprise, the summons instructed me to report to the Majestic 6 Movie Theatre in Bonham for my potential jury service. It seemed a little odd to me that a court handling matters ranging from homicides, sexual assaults and narcotics cases to complex, potentially multi-million dollar civil cases would be conducted in a movie theater. Some research quickly revealed to me that the unusual venue for the court was necessary to ensure that residents attending court activities in person could sufficiently distance themselves to comply with required COVID-19 precautions. Meeting in unusual venues is nothing new for the 336th District Court. You see, the court currently meets in the sanctuary of a converted church officially named Fannin County’s “South Annex” in Bonham. The small church sanctuary is poorly suited to handle trials in the best of circumstances and certainly not in the face of

the ongoing worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. Arrangements for jury trials needed to be put in place recently when state officials green-lighted limited in person court activities. Bonham’s Majestic 6 Theatre sitting unused thanks to COVID-19 was a viable, albeit unconventional, option. The temporary movie theater venue for the 336th District Court is in reality a visible symptom of a larger, more significant problem – the absence of modern, efficient facilities for many of Fannin County’s government activities and employees. Fannin County does not seem to have a visible comprehensive master plan for facilities for vital county activities. As was reported in “The Fannin County Leader,” County Criminal District Attorney Richard Glaser reminded County Commissioners just last week that his department has 130 employees currently housed in a variety of permanent and repurposed temporary offices. Glaser is rightfully concerned where his team will call home in coming years. Shuffling them from one temporary site to another seems illogical and not fitting for the permanent functions of county government. What about the county’s ongoing multi-million dollar project to refurbish it’s historical courthouse? Apparently, no provision has been made
for it to permanently office the personnel who actually administer justice on behalf of the people of Fannin County – judges or prosecutors. While I am strongly in favor the courthouse project, it again strikes me as shortsighted that there will be no room in that building for the courts or prosecutors that administer justice for the residents of our county. Rather, if all goes according to plan, next summer the beautiful new “courthouse” will become home to a grand total of 17 county employees and host weekly Commissioners Court meetings. What about the building’s courtroom once used for criminal and civil cases one might ask? The building’s restored “courtroom” will only be used for “administration purposes” according to at least one Commissioner because among other necessary features, “it lacks security or proper entrance for the judge.” Really? No one thought the county’s only District Court might actually use the county’s only courthouse once it was refurbished? I’m guessing many might be confused by that logic. The county needs modern and efficient office space for its personnel that that can be easily accessed by all residents including those with disabilities. At present there does not seem to be a plan on the drawing boards for such fa-

cilities. Instead, Commissioners are considering options including the reconfiguration of currently vacant existing spaces in Bonham to meet the county’s growing needs. Unfortunately, like any office space that is not built from the ground up for a specific, dedicated purpose, those facilities are likely to look a lot like just what they once were: storefronts, outdated offices and perhaps another converted church sanctuary. What Fannin County really needs is a comprehensive, master plan for facilities and funding that will meet the needs of the county’s existing residents and the many new arrivals that loom on the horizon. That plan should include everything from facilities for Commissioners in their precincts to a countywide emergency management operations center. Leaders of county functions like the County Clerk, Planning Department and District Attorney should be involved to discuss the near and longterm needs of their departments. The Fannin County Commission should formulate a plan and marshal the resources needed to carry it forward. District Attorney Glaser confirmed for Commissioners last week that he supports construction of a Fannin County Justice Center like those in nearby Collin, Denton, and Grayson counties. A Justice Center could provide a consolidated home for Fannin County’s courts, prosecutors, and defense services. Commissioners politely listened to Mr. Glaser then tabled that discussion for a future meeting. Meanwhile, if you have business – like a contract dispute or bond hearing - before the county’s only court of general jurisdiction, you might look for it in a nearby church or movie theatre but not the county’s only courthouse.

Watch for Work Crews 10/20/20 on SH 121 and US 82 in Coming Weeks Temporary lane closures will be present
Oct. 16, 2020 PARIS – Texas Department of Transportation officials today announced that a project to upgrade safety features for travelers will begin Oct. 19 on two roadways in Northeast Texas. Highway 19 Construction, Sulphur Springs, Texas, was granted 218 working days, weather permitting, to complete this project valued at more than $2.6 million. The target date for completion of this work is December 2021, officials said. The contractor will upgrade existing roadway guardrails and add sloped end treatments to existing drainage structures. This work will be done on State Highway 121 in Fannin County, from State Highway 56 to the Collin-Fannin County line. In Red River County, the project will extend along US 82 from .9 miles west of State Highway 37 to
.1 mile west of County Road 4310. This work will occasionally require the use of temporary lane closures while the project is underway. Motorists traveling in these areas are asked to pay special attention to all signs, barricades and traffic controls, and reduce their speed as they approach and travel cautiously through work zones. They should also avoid distractions such as cell phones, eating, drinking, or car audio or navigation systems. For more information, contact Tim.McAlavy@ txdot.gov or (903) 7379213.

On November 11th of each year, Americans have honored those men and women who have served in the U.S. Armed Services since the armistice which ended World War I was declared on November 11, 1918. Veterans are women and men from our communities who committed themselves carte blanche to the USA in the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, or Coast Guard and put their life on the line

Mel’s favorite verse pertaining to the vital work of Open Arms Shelter is James 2:17: “If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” Open Arms Shelter is working with churches, individuals, and organizations to meet the needs of the homeless in Fannin County. Please call Mel at 903-5053369 for more information on how you can partner together with Open Arms Shelter through volunteering, giving and praying.

Bring Back American Economic Stability
Following Bush’s Great Recession, Obama/Biden led a recovery that created 11.3 million jobs and unemployment fell to 4.3%. Biden knows how to restore our economy.
Trump’s failed policies have led to 8.4% unemployment and a $27 trillion National Debt. His tariffs have been disastrous for American industry and have bankrupted farmers.
Expand Affordable Healthcare and Pandemic Response
Obama/Biden established policy and infrastructure to fight pandemics--Trump dismantled them. Biden will expand affordable health care and cover pre-existing conditions.
Trump lied to the American people about COVID-19 despite being warned of the danger - now 220,000 DEAD. He is sueing to end ACA to deprive 30 million of health insurance
Honor Our Military and Veteran Heroes
Biden’s son, Beau, won a Bronze Star for service, and Biden honored his friend, John McCain. Hundreds of Generals, Admirals and national security officials have endorsed Biden.
Trump is a draft dodger who called McCain a “Loser” and our fallen soldiers “Suckers”. Russia put bounties on our soldiers and Trump did nothing to challenge Putin!
Empower Working Americans
Biden will not raise taxes on hard-working American families earning less than $400,000 per year, but will make sure that billionaires and wealthy corporations pay their fair share.
The Trump “tax cuts” went almost entirely to the rich and he paid no taxes most years. He used bankruptcy to cheat the small business people who built his enterprises.
Community Safety and Equal Justice
Biden supports increased resources and reforms so that policing is less dangerous for officers and the community and excessive incarceration is reduced.
Trump has inflamed tensions and emboldened supremacists to violence. He has ignored FBI warning about our greatest terrorism threat to our country - White Nationalists.
Renew American Values
Biden has lived his life with faith and family values. He pushed through the Violence Against Women Act. Jill Biden will be a exemplary role model as our First Lady.
Trump bragged of grabbing p***y, cheated on all 3 of his wives, including Melania Trump, and paid a porn star $130,000 to hide his infidelity from voters.
Restore America’s World Leadership
Biden is an effective negotiator who is respected by both our allies and adversaries. He will allow America to once again establish the world leadership that has been sorely missing.
Our standing in the world has fallen under Trump since he has alienated our Allies and aligned with Russia. The world sees the US with pity and scorn. They are laughing at us.

Press Release - Seven local people recently completed training and were sworn-in to become volunteer CASA advocates for children in foster care. The Honorable Judge Lauri Blake of the 336th District Court administered the oath to the new volunteers. New child advocates include Dawnita Williams, Shonda Magness, Beverly Royse, Byron Royse, Heather Smith, Ashley Spencer and Marilyn Bower-Pegues. Because of the pandemic, this training class was entirely on-line including the swearing in ceremony, which Judge Blake conducted via Zoom. Each volunteer was quickly assigned a case to work soon after taking their oaths. “We excited to welcome these people to our team
and even more excited to report that we are very close to having an advocate for every child in foster care,” said Sandy Barber with the Fannin County Children’s Center, which includes the local CASA program. In the year ending August 31, 2020, CASA served 119 children, which was the second most number of children in one year in the agency’s 27 year history. That same fiscal year was the busiest ever in terms of the numbers of cases worked and the number of new children coming into foster care. All volunteers completed an intensive training class which prepares them to serve as Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for children who have been removed from their home due to abuse and neglect. The district judge appoints CASA volunteers to serve as the Guardian ad Litem for each child who has been placed in the state’s custody. In that role, CASA advocates investigate the child’s situation, prepare written reports to the court and advocate for the child’s best interest in court hearings and other settings. CASA also advocates and monitors to ensure that all educational, medical, mental health and other needs are met. CASA is one program of several programs for abused and neglected children that are operated by the Fannin County Children’s Center. The next CASA training class is set to start in early 2021.

PERGAMUM – THE CHURCH INFILTRATED JESUS: To the Church in Pergamum – Revelation 2:12-17 “Write this to the angel of the church in Pergamum: “The One who has the sharp two-edged sword says this to you. 13 I know where you live. You live where Satan has his throne. But you are true to Me. You did not refuse to tell about your faith in Me even during the time of Antipas. Antipas was my faithful witness who was killed in your city. Your city is where Satan lives. 14 “But I have a few things against you: You have some there who follow the teaching of Balaam. Balaam taught Balak how to cause the people of Israel to sin. They sinned by eating food offered to idols and by taking part in sexual sins. 15 You also have some who follow the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16 So change your hearts and lives! If you do not, I will come to you quickly and fight against them with the sword that comes out of my mouth. 17 “Everyone who has ears should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches! I will give the hidden manna to everyone who wins the victory. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it. No one knows this new name except the one who receives it. 12

The third in a series of letters to the established churches in the early 90’s AD, Jesus addressed HIS BODY in Pergamum that they might heed His Word and change their direction [aka REPENT]. While holding onto the TRUTH on which they were built, salvation through JESUS CHRIST, they had been invaded by the enemy; their message had been diluted and their teaching confused. False teachers in the church were spreading the lies of satan as components of The True Gospel, The Good News of Jesus Christ. The name of the city, Pergamum holds a key to their confusion. Pergamum means literally “citadel” or fortress, STRONGHOLD. Pergamum was satan’s stronghold and he was not giving it up without a fight.

Pergamum was filled with temples of idolatry, or as Paul calls idols in 1 Corinthians 10:19-20 – they are demons. “Do I mean then that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything? No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons.” So fierce was the spiritual conflict in Pergamum that one of Pergamum’s claim to fame is the establishment of the first Psychiatric Hospital. It is no wonder why the perceived need! The Church in Pergamum had been established on satan’s center of influence and they were at war-the physical war emanating from the spiritual war of satan and his demon soldiers against the Christ, the resurrected King of Kings and His Body. Many of Pergamum’s citizens worshipped at satan’s throne and became friends with the world through the worship of the pagan deities and the Roman Emperor Domitian, who insisted he be addressed as “Lord” and “God.” Jesus told HIS church in Pergamum – I understand where you live, where satan has placed his throne, but I want you to be victorious. The Pergamum Church was waning; they let down their guard and allowed themselves to be infiltrated with false teaching, immorality, and religious observance rather than spiritual truth. Rather than fight against the enemy, they had allowed them to stay. They were choosing to ignore the “demons” in the room. The weapons of their warfare in Christ Jesus were hung neatly on the wall – unused and untarnished. We might yawn, or we may feel remorse for the fledgling church, but are we willing to embrace the message for the church today? Jesus said, “ANYONE WHO HAS AN EAR SHOULD LISTEN TO WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING TO THE CHURCHES” (Present tense – All Churches) THE WAR WAS WON BY JESUS CHRIST, BUT THE BATTLE FOR THE SOUL OF THE CHURCH IS NOT OVER. As the church [the Body of Jesus Christ on this earth] battles for its own existence, the souls of lost men, women, children, and families are being lost for eternity. We as the Body of Jesus Christ have been given everything we need pertaining to Life and Godliness by His Power and His Spirit that indwells us and gives us life. 2 Peter 1:3. We have all the weapons needed for Battle [Ephesians 6:10-16] and we have a Lord that is soon returning. We rejoice in that truth, but should we rejoice when those GOD loves and for whom He gave HIS SON’S LIFE are not being taught the truth and not being accompanied by His members to the Cross of Jesus Christ – God’s Salvation? Jesus said the Church needed to repent while we, The Church, are asking the world to repent. How will they know unless we show them? We have been given The Holy Spirit – GOD HIMSELF – to live in us through Jesus Christ. We lack nothing except focus, motivation, and courage. Jesus is calling us to focus on Him and change our ways – to repent. The hour may be late, but there is still work to be done. Jesus said: “MY FOOD IS TO DO THE WILL OF HIM WHO SENT ME AND TO FINISH HIS WORK…. LISTEN TO WHAT I AM TELLING YOU. OPEN YOUR EYES AND LOOK AT THE FIELDS THAT ARE READY FOR HARVEST…THE REAPER IS ALREADY RECEIVING PAY AND GATHERING FOR ETERNAL LIFE……I SENT YOU TO REAP.” John 4:3438. Lord, help us as Your Living Body on this Earth, to take our eyes off ourselves and focus on YOU! We want the Hidden Manna which is You – You are the Bread of Life! We want a New Name that You give us because we know you intimately. We want to have ears that hear Your voice clearly and eyes that see what You see. Please give us the strength and courage to finish Your Work!

Young Duck Numbers Could Spell Hunter Successes During Waterfowl Opening Day
Oct. 21, 2020 AUSTIN— As young ducks of all species migrate into the state over the coming weeks, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) biologists suggest that their arrival could indicate a successful waterfowl season for Texas hunters. While significant data is limited as the May Breeding Waterfowl Survey was canceled this year due to COVID-19, Kevin Kraai, the TPWD Waterfowl Program Leader, says that reports from waterfowl breeding grounds in Canada and the United States prairie states helped TPWD in forecasting conditions for the upcoming season. “Duck production in North and South Dakota was reported to be exceptional this past summer,” Kraai said. “We always see a nice increase in hunter success when the flock is made up of a lot of young ducks.” The special youth-only waterfowl season begins in the High Plains Mallard Management Unit on Oct. 24, followed by youth-only waterfowl season in the South Zone on Oct. 31 and the North Zone on Nov. 7. Regular duck season in the High Plains Mallard Management Unit opens Oct. 31, in the South 6545 US 70Zone on Nov. 7 and the North Mead, OKZone on Nov. 14. More information on season dates, 580-931-3240 including those for “Dusky” duck, and bag limits can be found in the Outdoor Annual. “We are already hearing good reports of birds building in many of flooded rice fields and coastal marshes along the Texas coast,” Kraai said. “Texas duck hunters will have the most opportunity for a fruitful season when hunting in east Texas and along the coast. Most successful hunters will be mobile as conditions will vary throughout the state.” 6545 USEast 70 Texas has seen above average Mead, OK rainfall throughout the summer and late summer rain 580-931-3240 events from tropical storms have helped to further prepare the landscape for the arrival of migrating ducks. Soil moisture is high and any new rainfall this winter will begin to pond. These conditions, along with river flooding events, are important to duck populations in the region. Reservoirs are higher than normal for this time of year and the shallow shorelines and river mouths will be a big draw to ducks. 6545 USCoastal 70 Texas has seen three tropical storm events in 2020 Mead, OK and storm surges have im580-931-3240 pacted many of Texas’ coastal marshes and estuaries. Salt water has reached further inland impacting the fresh water submergent vegetation that ducks love. Rainfall, however, is still needed to help freshen those systems and save those important food sources. Further inland, landowners are continuing to manage rice

prairies and moist-soil wetlands that provide a significant food source for ducks. TPWD biologists suggest that ducks will concentrate on these locations, making for ideal hunting conditions. Reports from Canada suggest that the Arctic goose hatch was poor this past summer. Juvenile snow geese will be in short supply, compounding issues with an overall old and declining population. Light and dark goose season starts in the East Zone on Nov. 7 and Nov. 14 in the West Zone. The light geese conservation order season begins in the East Zone on Feb. 1, 2021 and on Feb. 15, 2021. More information regarding seasons and bag limits can be found in the Outdoor Annual. Small Canada geese will likely be abundant in the Panhandle region but, due to the extremely dry conditions, will be reliant on waters in urban areas this winter. Hunters are encouraged to explore grain fields that are closest to towns that have plentiful city lakes. Good habitat conditions in the Winchester Lakes region in Knox and Haskell counties are forecast as this area has had timely rain events that have fed the natural wetlands. This water, with the abun2900 mixed East Jackson dant grain and peanut fields in Hugo, OK the area, will be a draw for tens of580-326-3240 thousands of small Canada

and white-fronted geese. This area in the northwestern part of the state has become world famous for the enormous concentrations of white-fronted geese. Hunters visiting this region during the winter will be presented with many harvest opportunities. In addition to a valid Texas hunting license, waterfowl hunters must have their HIP Certification and migratory bird endorsement and hunters over 16 years old need a Federal Duck Stamp. For county specific regulations regarding migratory birds, along with information on means and methods, consult the 2020-21 all-digital Outdoor Annual. Hunters can download the free Outdoor Annual mobile app for iOS and Android. Hunters taking advantage of Texas Public Hunting Lands must also have the Annual Public Hunting Permit. It’s also important for public land hunters to consult the Public Hunting Lands Map Booklet to review regulations that may apply to specific areas.

mors that are found here may eventually grow big enough to occlude the rectum and cut off fecal output, which will obviously lead to colic. Melanomas can either be left alone or surgically removed if they are causing a problem. The same tumor doesn’t usually return, however other tumors may appear that are unrelated to the first tumor. Squamous Cell Carcinomas: This is a skin tumor we see a lot in light-skinned horses, and it’s caused by damage to the skin cells from ultraviolet radiation. These tumors appear first as small, ulcerated sores with irregular margins that continually grow at a medium rate. They usually show up on the pink skin of the eyes, mouth, and genitalia. Eventually, they start protruding from the original sore and become an ulcerated nodule. This is a tumor that should be treated sooner rather than later, as it’s easier to treat a small lesion than it is to treat a large one. Treatment involves removing as much of the tumor as possible and applying cancer drugs. There is currently experimentation with vaccines that have been successful going on. These tumors are not usually fatal in and of themselves, but horses may be euthanized when the tumor grows so big as to be unmanageable, or starts interfering with bodily processes. Hematomas: A hematoma is a blood filled pocket under the skin, and is usually caused by trauma to a blood vessel that leaks into the space in between cells, creating a pocket. These are usually not hot or painful after the initial trauma pain has worn off, though they can cause stiffness if near a moving structure. A hematoma will usually not have a lot of swelling or heat in the skin around it, and will most likely feel like a water balloon under the skin. Treatment involves lancing the abscess and draining the fluid, then allowing it to heal from the inside out. If a hematoma is left untreated, the blood can become pus as the body tries to reabsorb it, otherwise known as a sterile abscess. Abscesses: An abscess forms whenever bacteria gets trapped under the skin or in the muscle. The bacteria cause the immune system to produce pus, which fills the pocket around where the bacteria are. Abscesses are usually hot and painful, and horses may seem lethargic or have a fever caused by the abscess. There is also usually a large amount of tissue swelling and heat around the abscess, which is how to tell if it’s an abscess or a hematoma. Treatment involves lancing and draining the abscess, antibiotics, pain medications, and allowing it to heal from the inside out. Abscesses will usually rupture and drain on their own, but may take days to weeks to do so; many owners opt to have the veterinarian lance the abscess as they are usually uncomfortable.
“Shore is nice this time ayear,” Windy said, smiling at those gathered. “Minds me of years ago back, you know? When we was young.” Windy, visiting from the ranch, had pulled up a stool so he was partially blocking the hallway entrance – also known as the “escape route” down at the Rest of Your Life retirement home. This made it rather difficult for Mabel, who has to use a walker, and Pop Walker, who is on a cane on good days, and crutches when the weather gets cold. This was a crutch day. The only one ambulatory enough to evade the coming lecture was Minnie Perkins. No walker or cane or wheelchair. But that was okay, because Minnie smiles at everything and enjoys hearing others talk.

wonderments full of cumulosities this time a-year. Hardly a rain in ‘em, but look at how they jest kinda hang there. Ain’t that right, Minnie.” Minnie smiled and nodded, enthusiastically. “Where you goin’, Mabel? Why, I was jest settlin’ in for a nice discussion a how things were around here when I was a youngster. Whazzat? Oh yeah, kinda forgot you was older’n me, Mabel. Why, I betcha you remember when it snowed here ‘long ‘bout county fair time …” Minnie nodded. Mabel groaned.

or they can be a raised nodule. In general, these tumors do not cause an issue unless they are interfering with something like the saddle or bridle. Treating these tumors can be difficult, as any type of removal tends to make the sarcoid angry, and it can come back. And when it comes back, it’s usually worse. Most often, the best course of action is to leave it alone. However, if the sarcoid needs to be removed, we have two options. The first option is to use a product called Xxterra. This is a cream made from Indian Bloodroot that is applied daily for seven days. Over the next month, the sarcoid will hopefully scab over and fall off. If this doesn’t work or isn’t feasible, the other option is to inject it with extract of Indian Bloodroot. This will cause a local tissue reaction, and stimulates the immune system to recognize the tumor as foreign and try to kill it. Melanomas: In humans, the term Melanoma is a terrifying cancer. Luckily in horses, it’s not nearly so terrifying, as it’s not usually fatal unless it starts interfering with bodily functions (like urinating or defecating). This tumor is very common in grey horses and occurs because of a mutation in the cells that produce the black skin color. The most common area for them to appear is under the tail and around the anus, or anywhere that doesn’t grow a lot of hair. However, they can also appear on lymph nodes, salivary glands, and internal organs. These are usually small, smooth bumps that can range anywhere from a few millimeters to large tumors. It’s important if you start noticing these tumors to have your veterinarian palpate your horse rectally periodically to check for tumors in the rectum. Tu-
