He stated07/02/19 all is to Dr. Froelich for guidance. apologized for and explained By Rose Schwartz County Judge Randy Moore called the Regular Meeting of Commissioners Court to order at 9:00 a.m. Tuesday, January 26, 2021. Quorum was established as all Commissioners and County Judge were present. The Invocation was led by Pastor Mike Allred of the Boyd Baptist Church of Bonham. Pledges were led by County Judge Randy Moore. 4. Discussion, consideration and action regarding the Fannin County Declaration of Disaster Proclamation for Covid-19: County Judge Randy Moore began his discussion by thanking all those participating by teleconference. He then went on to cite the current Covid-19 case numbers. He stated that as of 8:00 a.m., there were 2,226 confirmed cases of Covid-19 and 431 probable cases for a
County. Of those total numbers, 166 are active, with 89 in prison; and there have been 76 fatalities. The hospitalization rate is currently 21.80%, which while showing a slight decrease from last week; is still very problematic for area hospitals. Regarding the vaccines, Judge Moore said that Fannin County is receiving a good number of vaccines and reminded everyone wanting to receive the vaccine, to first call the Call Center at 903583-2189 to get added to the list. He stressed the importance of following the rules; showing up to receive the vaccine when notified to do so, and not showing up if you have not been scheduled to receive the vaccine. He said the process is running smoothly right now, and “drive-thru” clinics are expected to be taking place at different locations

Since Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, I decided to put it in this issue.

Although this recipe is for Christmas, it can also be used for

For the last several years it has been the dream of the Arledge Ridge Cemetery Association to build a pavilion at the cemetery for grave side services and Homecoming Memorial. We have plans to build a 30’X40’ structure that will be built on the west side of Hwy. 78 in the new part of the cemetery on the south end. We just recently sold the one acre plot and old church building. Even after the sale of the plot, we need additional funds to complete the project. We are establishing a building fund and asking for donations. Hopefully, the project can be completed by summer. Maintenance costs of the cemetery continue to increase and the sale of plots continue to decrease. This is mainly because more and more people are cremating.
Therefore, the cemetery association depletes its annual budget that comes from donations each year. Annual donations no longer cover the cost to maintain and beautify the cemetery in the way our loved ones deserve. Our future goal, if fund raising is sufficient, is to also build a memorial for veterans. Please consider donating to this worthy cause. We cannot do this without your help! You may make your checks payable to the Arledge Ridge Cemetery Building Fund and mail to: Gail Brown, 586 CR 3345, Ladonia, TX 75449. If you have questions you may contact her at 903-450-6197 If you want to be added to the Arledge Ridge Cemetery mailing list please contact Gail at the address or phone number above. Thank you so much.

19. Discussion, consideration and action to cancel Commissioners Court for February 2, 2021; three of five Court members will be out of town at a conference: Motion was made, seconded and passed to cancel court February 2, 2021. 21. Public Forum: No comments made. 22. Comments by County Commissioners and County Judge: Commissioner Lane expressed thanks to all attending via Zoom, looks forward to learning a lot at the conference and thanked her crew. Commissioner Self echoed thanks to all in attendance, extended thanks to all helping with Covid-19 efforts and those willing to serve on committees. Wished all a good week. Commissioner Magness is thankful for the dedicated county employees whose work is not always easy but is appreciated. Wanted it known that differences of opinions are never personal. He believes that when everyone works together it benefits the county. He is looking forward to the conference and wished all a good week. Commissioner Lackey said he thinks it was a good meeting with having been on the losing side of a discussion once, and the winning side once. He, like Commissioner Magness, wanted to stress that differences of opinion are not personal and noted everyone is just trying to do what they think is best for the county. He appreciates everyone for their work and stated his appreciation for his crew and being able to work for the county. County Judge Randy Moore gave instruction to those planning on leaving town for the conference and relayed thanks from Troy Hudson for all the assistance with the handling of Covid-19. 23.

Advocates, is one of several programs offered by the Fannin County Children’s Center for the benefit of abused and neglected children. CASA is seeking adult volunteers who can complete training and pass background checks to be appointed by the 336th District Court to serve as Guardian ad Litem for children in foster care. In that role, CASA volunteers regularly visit their assigned child or sibling group and gather information from parents, other family, teachers, medical personnel, therapists and others in order to make recommendations to the court on what will be in the child’s best interest. They prepare court reports and testify at court hearings too. Many volunteers successfully manage to volunteer while also working full time and spending time with their families. Currently, advocacy work and meetings are being done by
various video apps, phone calls and emails. Court hearings are happening by Zoom. The next training sessions for CASA volunteers will start Feb 16. Training classes will be in the evenings from 5:30 – 9:30 pm by Zoom. Participants will also be reading and completing activities on their own time. At least 2 hours of court room observation will also be required. Attending the Volunteer Information Session is not required to become a volunteer, but it can be helpful in answering questions potential volunteers may have. To get the Zoom link for the Volunteer Information Session, contact Amanda McDonald at amanda@fanninccc. org. More information and the volunteer application are available at www. fanninccc.org. For questions, contact Amanda McDonald at (903) 5834339 x240.
ANGEL LEAGUE kicks off 12th season in Bonham! The Angel League is an exciting opportunity for special needs kids aged 3 to 21 (if still enrolled in school) to experience spring ball and is beginning it’s 12th year in Bonham on March 16, 2021 at 6 p.m. Games are played every Tuesday night 6-7 p.m. on Field 4 of the Bonham Baseball/Softball Association Complex. Twelve years ago, Kiwanis Club of Bonham, with support from the Bonham Baseball/Softball Association, partnered to create an experience that many children do not get to participate in due to developmental delays. This group of truly special kids have a unique chance to experience whatever type
of ball suits them best, whether it’s t-ball, softball or baseball. Team players and coaches get to choose the best fit for each player. Each week, different community groups gather to form a support team, whose sole purpose is to encourage, cheer for, assist and make friends with the Angels. With community involvement and support, these games become more exciting and rewarding, not just for the Angel players and families, but for those that volunteer an hour to come play! No special equipment or skill set is required to volunteer, only a heart for kids. At the end of the season, an awards ceremony is held to honor the Angel
League players and their families. A great thank you to all the community members and families who have supported the Angel League in the past seasons. Huge thanks to the Kiwanis Club of Bonham, Bonham Baseball/ Softball Association, and to our volunteer coaches Kenneth Karl, Robert Hilburn and Kayla King for making this special time on the field a reality in our community. For more information on how to sign up or volunteer your group/team, contact Mary Karl at (512) 497-5690 or Kenneth Karl (903) 505-9377. Play ball!

A twenty-three-year friendship is something to be honored and admired all on its own. When you dig deeper and realize the friendship occurred in a nursing home, between a staff member and a resident, the tale is remarkable. Mary was a close, personal friend and confidant to my Aunt Nita. Their lives at Seven Oaks began the same year. One as a new staff member, and the other a resident. In life, there are some things you can never repay. The amount of giving, caring, and patience can never be repaid. I can acknowledge it here, sure, but I simply cannot begin to repay the friendship, kindness, and loyalty shown throughout the years. Thank you, Mary, from all of the Matlock family. On this side of heaven, the reward may seem small, but I believe it will be enormous in heaven! I love you for who you are and for what you gracefully did for so many, for so long.

Big Bass are Back as Lake Austin Produces Second 10/29/19 Toyota ShareLunker Legacy Class Entry of 2021
AUSTIN – In less than a week, the second Legacy Class largemouth bass of the 2021 6545 US 70 Toyota ShareLunker season Mead, OK was reeled in at Lake Austin 580-931-3240 Thursday evening January 14. Angler CJ Oates, from Lago Vista, Texas, caught the 13.02-pounder just a few days after “ShareLunker 586” was claimed at Sam Rayburn. “It was a last-minute decision whether to fish Lake Travis or Austin,” said Oates. “Luckily my good buddy John Davilla talked me into Austin. The bites started off very slow and at the first 5 spots we hit we had nothing. Around 9:30, BOOM, he catches a 6545 US 70 11.30-pound giant on a glide Mead, baitOK swimming it next to a dock. We yelled, high-fived, 580-931-3240 took pictures, and then waited about 15 minutes before hitting that same dock. Low and behold, two casts later the fish of a lifetime. I then called Texas Parks and Wildlife, spoke to Kyle [Brookshear] and the rest is history! The ShareLunker program is truly a great program.” After being notified on Thursday evening, Texas Parks and Wildlife Depart(TPWD) Inland Fisher6545ment US 70 ies biologists quickly obtained Mead, and OK transported “ShareLunker 580-931-3240 587” to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens. This spring, TPWD biologists will attempt to spawn her in an effort to make bigger, better bass that will enhance fishing in Texas lakes for years to come. “ShareLunker is off to a great start for 2021,” said Toyota ShareLunker Program Coordinator, Kyle Brookshear. “The warmer than average weather patterns that we have had throughout the fall and winter seems to already have the bass looking towards spring. Lake Austin has historically been a very productive fishery for ShareLunker, and we are excited to see it produce the second entry of the 2021 collection season. Thursday’s catch by Oates was the first Legacy Class largemouth on Lake Austin since 2014. Robert Whitehead caught SL555 that weighed in at 13.19 pounds with a length of 27.28 inches on February 21 of the 2014 season. Lake Austin’s all-time Legacy Class total now stands at 21 bass over

with exports generally means solid prices for producers.” Beef slaughter numbers rose 1 percent from December 2019 to 2.78 million head, with the average live weight up 16 pounds from the previous year to 1,389 pounds. Cattle weights are trending heavier, a movement Tomascik said is due to heavier cattle placements and longer feeding periods. Although cattle prices fell to 10-year lows early in the COVID-19 pandemic, continued consumer demand for at-home meals has kept retail red meat sales steady and allowed for recent price improvement in fed cattle, he noted. For the entire calendar year of 2020, commercial red meat production was 55.7 billion pounds, up 1 percent from 2019. And 2021 is off to a strong start. “The beef industry is set to produce a record amount of beef again this month, and I’ve read it’s selling for the highest January wholesale prices since 2014,” he said. “Red meat is in high demand. That’s good for both our crop farmers and livestock raisers.”

Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
COMBINED NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF APPLICATION AND INTENT TO OBTAIN WATER QUALITY PERMIT (NORI) AND NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION FOR TPDES PERMIT FOR MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER RENEWAL PERMIT NO. WQ0013584001 APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION. City of Bailey, P.O. Box 159, Bailey, Texas 75413, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for a renewal of Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0013584001 which authorizes the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 26,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on July 9, 2020. This con1bined notice is being issued because the link to an electronic map of the site or facility’s general location provided in the original NORI was incorrect. The correct link is provided in this notice. The facility is located approximately 900 feet west of Farm-to-Market Road 816 and 3,000 feet southwest of the intersection of Farm-to-Market Road 816 and State Highway 11, in Fannin County, Texas 75413. The treated effluent is discharged via pipe to an unnamed tributary of Loring Creek; thence to Loring Creek, thence to Spring Creek, thence to Upper South Sulphur River in Segment No. 0306 of the Sulphur River Basin. The unclassified receiving water uses are minimal aquatic life use for the unnamed tributary of Loring Creek and limited aquatic life use for Loring Creek. The designated uses for Segment No. 0306 are primary contact recreation and intermediate aquatic life use. All determinations are preliminary and subject to additional review and/or revisions. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility’s general location is provided as a public courtesy and is not part of the application or notice. For the exact location, refer to the application. https: / / tceq.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer /index.html?id=db 5bae44afbe468bbddd36of 8168 25of&marker=96.166666%2C33 .423611&level=12 The TCEQ Executive Director has completed the technical review of the application and prepared a draft permit. The draft permit, if approved, would establish the conditions under which the facility must operate. The Executive Director has made a preliminary decision that this permit, if issued, meets all statutory and regulatory requirements. The permit application, Executive Director’s preliminary decision, and draft permit are available for viewing and copying at Bailey City Hall, 103 North Main Street, Bailey, Texas. PUBLIC COMMENT/ PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting about this application. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or to ask questions about the application. TCEQ holds a public meeting if the Executive Director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing. OPPORTUNITY FORA CONTESTED CASE HEARING. After the deadline for submitting public comments, the Executive Director will consider all timely comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. Unless the application is directly referred for a contested case hearing, the response to comments will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments and to those persons who are on the mailing list for this application. If comments are received, the mailing will also provide instructions for requesting a contested case hearing or reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in a state district court. TO REQUEST A CONTESTED CASE HEARING, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN YOUR REQUEST: your name, address, phone number; applicant’s name and proposed permit number; the location and distance of your property/activities relative to the proposed facility; a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the facility in a way not common to the general public; a list of all disputed issues of fact that you submit during the comment period; and the statement “[I/we] request a contested case hearing.” If the request for contested case hearing is filed on behalf of a group or association, the request must designate the group’s representative for receiving future correspondence; identify by name and physical address an individual member of the group who would be adversely affected by the proposed facility or activity; provide the information discussed above regarding the affected member’s location and distance from the facility or activity; explain how and why the member would be affected; and explain how the interests the group seeks to protect are relevant to the group’s purpose. Following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the Executive Director will forward the application and any requests for reconsideration or for a contested case hearing to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. The Commission may only grant a request for a contested case hearing on issues the requestor submitted in their timely comments that were not subsequently withdrawn. If a hearing is granted, the subject of a hearing will be limited to disputed issues of fact or mixed questions of fact and law relating to relevant and material water quality concerns submitted during the comment period. TCEQ may act on an application to renew a permit for discharge of wastewater without providing an opportunity for a contested case hearing if certain criteria are met. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ACTION. The Executive Director may issue final approval of the application unless a timely contested case hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed. If a timely hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed, the Executive Director will not issue final approval of the permit and will forward the application and request to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. MAILING LIST. If you submit public comments, a request for a contested case hearing or a reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision, you will be added to the mailing list for this specific application to receive future public notices mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk. In addition, you may request to be placed on: (1) the permanent mailing list for a specific applicant name and permit number; and/or (2) the mailing list for a specific county. If you wish to be placed on the permanent and/or the county mailing list, clearly specify which list(s) and send your request to TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below. All written public comments and public meeting requests must be submitted to the Office of the Chief Clerk, MC 105, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, P.O.

The facility is located approximately 0.25 mile southwest of the intersection of Farm-to-Market Road 1743 and State Highway 56, in Fannin County, Texas 75492. The treated effluent is discharged to an unnamed tributary, thence to Burnett Creek, thence to Bullard Creek, thence to Bois d’Arc Creek, thence to Red River Below Lake Texoma in Segment No. 0202 of the Red River Basin. The unclassified receiving water uses are minimal aquatic life use for the unnamed tributary and limited aquatic life use for Burnett Creek. The designated uses for Segment No. 0202 are primary contact recreation, public water supply, and high aquatic life use. All determinations are preliminary and subject to additional review and/or revisions. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility’s general location is provided as a public courtesy and is not part of the application or notice. For the exact location, refer to the application. htt ps: / / tceg.ma ps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=db5bae44afbe468bbddd36of 8168 25of&marker=-96.006388 %2C33.5625&level=12 The TCEQ Executive Director has completed the technical review of the application and prepared a draft permit. The draft permit, if approved, would establish the conditions under which the facility must operate. The Executive Director has made a preliminary decision that this permit, if issued, meets all statutory and regulatory requirements. The permit application, Executive Director’s preliminary decision, and draft permit are available for viewing and copying at Windom City Hall, 406 Main Street, Windom, Texas. PUBLIC COMMENT/ PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting about this application. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or to ask questions about the application. TCEQ holds a public meeting if the Executive Director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing. OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTESTED CASE HEARING. After the deadline for submitting public comments, the Executive Director will consider all timely comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. Unless the application is directly referred for a contested case hearing, the response to comments will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments and to those persons who are on the mailing list for this application. If comments are received, the mailing will also provide instructions for requesting a contested case hearing or reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in a state district court. TO REQUEST A CONTESTED CASE HEARING, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN YOUR REQUEST: your name, address, phone number; applicant’s name and proposed permit number; the location and distance of your property/activities relative to the proposed facility; a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the facility in a way not common to the general public; a list of all disputed issues of fact that you submit during the comment period; and the statement “[I/we] request a contested case hearing.” If the request for contested case hearing is filed on behalf of a group or association, the request must designate the group’s representative for receiving future correspondence; identify by name and physical address an individual member of the group who would be adversely affected by the proposed facility or activity; provide the information discussed above regarding the affected member’s location and distance from the facility or activity; explain how and why the member would be affected; and explain how the interests the group seeks to protect are relevant to the group’s purpose. Following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the Executive Director will forward the application and any requests for reconsideration or for a contested case hearing to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. The Commission may only grant a request for a contested case hearing on issues the requestor submitted in their timely comments that were not subsequently withdrawn. If a hearing is granted, the subject of a hearing will be limited to disputetl issues of fact or mixed questions of fact and law relating to relevant and material water quality concerns submitted during the comment period. TCEQ may act on an application to renew a permit for discharge of wastewater without providing an opportunity for a contested case hearing if certain criteria are met. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ACTION. The Executive Director may issue final approval of the application unless a timely contested case hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed. If a timely hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed, the Executive Director will not issue final approval of the permit and will forward the application and request to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. MAILING LIST. If you submit public comments, a request for a contested case hearing or a reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision, you will be added to the mailing list for this specific application to receive future public notices mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk. In addition, you may request to be placed on: (1) the permanent mailing list for a specific applicant name and permit number; and/or (2) the mailing list for a specific county.

John Mark “Johnny” Terry was born on October 13, 1948 in San Antonio, Texas. He went to his Heavenly Home on January 7, 2021 after a long battle of poor health that confined his body to a wheelchair, but not his heart or his love for everyone that he met. Johnny loved Jesus and depended on Him. When you asked him how he was, his answer was always, “I’m blessed.” His family was very important to him, as was his Church family. His wheelchair with a “Jesus Loves you” sign on the back was seen in town and going to church on Sunday. Johnny loved people of all backgrounds and made a difference in their lives by putting his faith into action. He worked as a paramedic bringing life into the world and providing care and comfort to the dying. He was a compassionate man, a true inspiration of courage. Even through his battle with kidney failure and many other health issues, his faith and trust in Jesus remained steadfast. He was preceded in death by his grandparents Ella Mai Brannon and Jesse Brannon; mother, Mary Ella Kirby, father, William Carl Terry, his loving wife of 38 years, Annie Wesberry and brother-in-law, Donald Walley. Johnny left behind to cherish his memories, brothers, Bill Terry and wife Carol of Bonham and Tim Terry and wife, Sharon of Savoy; sisters, Pat Walley of Bonham, Melanie Woodruff and husband, Stan of Trenton and Kayla Kirby of LA California. Johnny also had 16 nieces and nephews that he claimed as his own and special friends, Gary Sparks, Porter Wallace and Darren Barnett and their families and Terry Brookshire. He was loved by many and will be greatly missed, but we all know he is now in his Heavenly Home, his health fully restored. Online guest register at www. wisefuneralhome.com Services will be announced at a later date.
