TxDot Urges Drivers to Pay Attention Amid 17% Military Spouse Appreciation Increase in Traffic Deaths involving Distracted Driving Week May 6-8
AUSTIN – A family’s quiet Sunday in the park turned tragic when a driver, distracted while talking on her cell phone, struck two-year-old Allie White in a parking lot, killing her. The toddler became one of more than a thousand Texas lives lost due to distracted driving in the past few years, and it’s part of a disturbing trend that continued last year. Distracted driving deaths in Texas increased 17% in 2021 compared to 2020, claiming the lives of 431 people and seriously injuring another 2,934. In light of these grim statistics, TxDOT is conducting its annual Talk. Text. Crash. campaign during National Distracted Driving Awareness Month in April to urge Texans to keep their heads up, put their phones down and just drive. “Distracted driving crashes are 100% preventable, and we’re urging everyone to just drive whenever they’re behind the wheel,” said TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams. “Texans are killed each year simply because someone was distracted by their phone, radio, navi-

gation system, eating or drinking, or even by others in the car. When your focus isn’t on driving, you’re putting yourself, your passengers and everyone else on the road at risk.” Distracted driving is not only dangerous, it’s a crime. Since September 1, 2017, it has been illegal to read, write or send a text while driving in Texas, and violators can face a fine of up to $200. TxDOT offers these tips to prevent distracted driving that can lead to a ticket or preventable crash: •Always give driving your full attention; remember that any distraction is dangerous. •Pull off the road entirely and come to a complete stop before you talk on your phone or text. •Put your phone away, turn it off, or use an app or your phone settings to block texts and calls while driving. •Tell friends, family and coworkers you won’t respond to texts or calls while driving. As part of National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, TxDOT is conducting Talk. Text. Crash. out-

His Promised Return

Acts1:9-14
I have found renewed joy in the hope the message at Easter shares with us. The time that I have spent in reflecting on the great truths related to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus has proven to be spiritually refreshing to my heart. In the new experience of finding the tomb empty and having the resurrection confirmed by several appearances,

no doubt his followers took on new hope. In the scripture that I have selected for this week, we find the men of Galilee standing and watching, wondering as they see Jesus rising up from their midst. I think that if we had been there we might have said “What now? What hope do we have left?” He whom they had followed and loved is gone into heaven. Once again they hear God speak. This time words fall from the lips of two dressed in white apparel. “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus who was taken up from you will so come in like manner as you saw him go into heaven. “The rest of our passage indicates that the two men joined the eleven disciples and others numbering 120 in the upper room in Jerusalem. Verse 14 says “these all continued

with one accord in prayer and in supplication.” The promise of Jesus’ return gave to them renewed courage and hope. By the same thought, the promise of Jesus’ return gives to us a hope to which we can hold. This promise was given 2000 years ago. But it is still in effect. Jesus is coming again. Only the Father knows when. We pray daily for a spiritual awakening to take place in our troubled world. Perhaps the delay of His return is one of patience and long suffering giving us time to repent and turn to Him. Is He waiting for us to let our light shine where we live? He is coming again. If it were today, would you be ready? Today is the day to get ready!

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.

A Sneak Peek into Building a Lake with Randy Sliger
I’m asking for your support for Bonham City Council Ward I. Bonham has such potential with four major highways, the restoration of our Courthouse, the Sam Rayburn House and Library, the Railroad Depot and Trade Days. With the new Bois d’Arc Lake, Bonham State Park and our own Bonham Lake, we have so much to offer the people who come through our town. We must work diligently to fix our streets, clean up and take pride in our small town. I am willing to work on that 100% to accomplish these with my fellow councilmen, the BEDCo Board and all the City staff. We must work together to do the best we can to serve the citizens of Bonham.

Press Release - What does it take to construct one of the newest reservoirs in Texas? Turns out it’s a lot more than just building a dam. Keeping everything on schedule—from roads and bridges to laying pipeline—requires someone who can oversee the process as a whole. At Lake Ralph Hall, that “someone” is
Randy Sliger. As construction manager for the project, he is the linchpin connecting each of the program’s contractors. Right now, that requires consistent communication with Flatiron Construction as they work on the roads/bridges, and Granite Construction as they build the Leon Hurse dam. “My first goal every morning is to check in with the contractors to see what they have planned for the day and if there were any issues from the day before.” Sliger explained. “Close communication with the contractors and engineers has provided for a smooth start of the project. “ In addition to site visits, Sliger stays connected through the project’s various construction meetings and handles communications with the contractors. Building a project of such magnitude

requires innovation and the ability to adapt midstream, so good communication and teamwork is key. One such innovation— a dedicated service road for bridge construction—was successfully implemented and proved to be a benefit for the on-going road work. “It keeps the larger equipment and truck traffic off of Hwy 34, which helps everyone stay safe,” Sliger explained, “And it’s allowed Flatiron to keep equipment moving on rainier, muddier days.” (See story below for more on current status of the bridge and roads.) Sliger will be working closely on the project throughout construction and looks forward to the day the dam will begin to hold water. He hopes that the lake will leave a legacy for generations to come – providing “water for Upper Trinity, but also a significant boost for the local economy.”

me, some don’t, heck half the time I don’t even like myself. Here is my question, are we going to make the same mistakes and bungles those other fast-growing areas of this Country have made time and time again? Let’s study the mistakes of other fast-growing counties. Let’s make our decisions from a position of strength while we are in control before the mistakes of our own making happen and must be cleaned up at a later date. As a retired educator I made many decisions on the fly, some good, some not so good, but the best interest of the students should always be the ultimate goal. It is the same with County Government.
Decisions must be made for the best interest of all the residents and not just for the beautiful people (elite). The purpose of this article is to ask you, the Fannin County voter, do you want a choice in November for Fannin County Judge? Currently Newt Cunningham is your only choice. I have had several productive meetings with Newt and I believe Newt to be honorable and would make a very capable Judge. However, if you want a choice in November contact me by phone at 903-815-8136. If I am not on the ballot in November, I will be supporting Newt, to make Fannin County’s imminent change positive and smooth, as we all should. JP Moore

Press Release - The public is to vote on Senator Bettencourt’s Constitutional Amendments Proposition 1 and 2 on May 7, 2022. I have included some frequently asked Q&A on propositions that are less than a month away from being voted on. The election will be held on Saturday, May 7th, and early voting will begin on Monday, April 25th. The Secretary of State has been sending calls to my office about Propositions 1 and 2. Many voters have been finding the ballot language confusing, and I want to clarify what these amendments actually do. Homeowners over the age of 65 will see their freeze values for school taxes actually decline, aka, ISD property tax bills if Proposition 1 passes! Also if passed, Proposition 2 will lower independent school district property tax bills by increasing the homestead exemption that will save money for the 5.67 million homesteads in the State of Texas. Below are some plain language talking points to answer many of the frequently asked questions. Proposition 1 will benefit individuals with an over 65 or disabled exemption on their homestead. • If an individual has an over 65/disabled exemption on their home and this proposition passes, they will receive a reduction on school district property taxes. • HB 3 from the 86th Leg-

Discussion, consideration and action to adopt 2022 Local Options Property Tax Code Exemption(s) for Fannin County: After Judge Moore explained this is something done every year a motion was made by Commissioner Self to keep it
the same as last year with Commissioner Magness seconding the motion which passed. 7.

After noting that three roads, 4921, 4922 and 4923 would be adopted by the county, Commissioner Self made the motion to approve the adoption of those roads. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Magness. After Judge Moore repeated a word of caution made by Jim Allison about accepting roads in subdivisions, a discussion ensued covering the criteria needing to be in place for a county to adopt a road and whether requirements can be made on roads not adopted by the county.

After stating how she believes all departments should be moved in by May 8th, a discussion ensued involving when the Commissioners Court meetings can be held in the courtroom of the courthouse. She noted that because there is still an ongoing wait for the wood for the courtroom floor, it was determined that there is not yet a definite date available for that to happen.

Discussion, consideration and action regarding Real Property Executive Session: Judge Moore announced that significant progress was made towards the purchase of property for the creation of a “Criminal Justice Center.” Commissioner Magness made the motion to approve authorizing the Fannin County Judge to sign a contract with Bonham Walmart Incorporated for the purchase of the property located at 2221, 2223 and 2225 N.

with the courthouse restoration. Commissioner Lane made the motion for the county to pay for the courthouse furniture, courthouse parking lot and internet in total of $438,422.06 out of ARPA funds (American Rescue Plan Act.) The motion was seconded by Commissioner Magness and the motion passed. After the vote, Judge Moore further explained that those items were not in the original bond but needed to be paid. 20. Comments by County Commissioners and County Judge: Commissioner Lackey thanked everyone for attending and said he believed it had been a good meeting with a lot accomplished. He advised calm for the public when the tax estimates come out and wanted the public to know the Commissioners Court has nothing to do with property valuations. He concluded with the observation that valuations are rising all over Texas. Commissioner Magness agreed with Commissioner Lackey’s statement that the County Commissioners have nothing to do with the rising valuations going on in Fannin County and urged residents to take time to observe and enjoy the beauty of Spring days especially the recent blooming of bluebonnets. He concluded with comments on the forecasted heavy rains to occur next week. Commissioner Self also commented on the upcoming tax evaluations and how he was told there was over 2,000 people a day moving to Texas that was causing the inflation of property valuations. He too commented on the recent sunny weather and wished all a good week. Commissioner Lane expressed the hope that everyone had a good Easter. She noted that this weekend was a workday at Lake Fannin and next weekend, April 30th was the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event at the TCOG parking lot in Sherman from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. She reminded of the need to pre-register an appointment on their website (www. tcog.com) and wished all a wonderful day. Judge Moore commented on the Town Hall Veterans Meeting that occurred last week on the 12th. He emphasized the importance of doing all that can be done to keep all the Veterans Administration’s service in Fannin County. After encouraging citizens to write letters to their congressional leaders urging the VA’s services be kept local, he mentioned how contact information had been made available at the last commissioner’s meeting for those representatives and was advised that all that contact information could be found in this week’s Fannin County Leader (page 15 of the April 19th edition.) Judge Moore also advised petitions with a bunch of signatures could be very helpful in the endeavor to convince government leaders to allow all the VA’s services to remain in our area. Judge Moore then noted his gladness about the progress made on moving towards a Criminal Justice Center he believes will be a “tremendous benefit for the county at an economical price.” He said that though there is still a lot of work to do, it is nevertheless a great step forward for the county. 21. Adjourn: A motion to adjourn was made, seconded and passed at 11:31 a.m.

In just nine months since the project broke ground, crews have finished half of the bridge over the future Lake Ralph Hall. To date, 65 workers have placed and poured: • 100+ columns (to hold up the beams) • 130+ beams (to lay on top of the columns and hold roadway decking) • 10+ spans of deck (poured for the road base) Work on the bridge will continue, along with clearing and construction on nearby roadways and the lake’s other, smaller bridge—Merrill Creek Bridge—which begins in April.

A Common Savior
By Mike Dickison Minister of Ivanhoe Church of Christ
God has provided a common Savior for all. Jesus said that “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). God loves ALL the souls of man. Luke penned the words, “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ” (Acts 2:36). This common Savior is Jesus, the Christ. Jesus’ sacrifice was for the sins of the world. The Hebrew writer wrote that “now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself” (Hebrews 9:26). Paul reminds us that we are to “walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour” (Eph 5:2). This sacrifice was to death. Again in Hebrews, we learn that “we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of
death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man” (Hebrews 2:9). This common Savior is now in heaven. Of Jesus, it is said that “this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God” (Hebrews 10:12). The Gospel is taught and men and women are baptized by the common Savior’s authority. The Lord said to “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world” (Matthew 28:19-20). There is “ONE Lord” and common Savior (Ephesians 4:5). Peter spoke of “Jesus Christ” (Acts 4:10) when he said that “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). If we will be saved, it will be by the common Savior, Jesus Christ.

Paris Chapter of Texas High School Basketball Awards
Press Release - Paris Chapter of Texas High School Basketball Officials has been giving these awards for several years, trying to encourage and reward good sportsmanship. These certainly are not the only players and coaches worthy of recognition, but these selected do
exhibit the qualities of sportsmanship and conduct the game deserves. Our selection process is quite simple. During our last meeting of the year, we ask our officials to nominate players and coaches for these awards. All selections must be unanimous, any individual official
can veto a nomination if they had a negative experience with that player or coach during the season. Things that we consider are attitudes of the nominees toward not only us, but to their opponents and teammates. Little things like retrieving loose balls, helping opponents up
after collisions and accepting calls that go against them in a respectful manner are some of the things we consider in making our selections.

Sunday Morning Re-take
Hello everyone! We had a wonderful service in God’s house Sunday morning! The Easter season is a wonderful time of the year, when we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. May we
never forget the sacrifice that Jesus gave on the cross, and how He conquered death, Hell, and the grave. The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 15:20, “But now Christ is risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.”

One of my favorite Easter hymns was written by Alfred Henry Ackley in 1933. In my research, I happened to come across the story of how Mr. Ackley wrote this classic hymn, and it is definitely worth the read. “I serve a risen Saviour, He’s in the world today; I know that He is living whatever men may say; I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer, And just the time I need Him, He’s always near. He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today! He walks with me and talks with me Along life’s narrow way, He lives, He lives, salvation to impart! You ask me how I know He lives? He lives within my heart!” 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 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

MICKEY DON FULLER
Mickey Don Fuller was born to Ed and Ruby Fuller May 23, 1942 in Leonard. He passed from this earth April 17, 2022, after a lengthy illness. Mickey led a unique life and was never a stranger to hard work. The best years of his work life were the 28 years he spent with Sullivan Transfer, a Freeman Company, where he personally supervised the setup, construction, and dismantling of the Republican Convention arenas five times: Dallas in 1984, New Orleans in 1988, Houston in 1992, San Diego in 1996 and Philadelphia in 2000. There wasn’t a job too big or too difficult for Mickey and he tackled each one with confidence and enthusiasm. Though he had many hobbies through the years, his greatest passion was classic country music. There wasn’t an artist or a song he didn’t know and immediately recognize after the first few notes were played. He read virtually every history book and biography ever printed on the subject. He loved to tell the story of how in the early 1960’s he and a couple of his buddies from the Dallas Police Department wound up with an abandoned and intoxicated George Jones on their hands in the wee hours of the morning after a concert and didn’t know what to do with him. To get the most out of the story you would have had to hear him tell it. Love of football, the Dallas Cowboys, and NASCAR were always a top priority with Mickey. He never missed a Cowboy Game or a race, no matter what else was happening. In earlier years, he enjoyed fishing the area lakes with his friends and, after retirement, he always enjoyed working on projects around the house. Mickey graduated from Leonard High School in 1958 where he was active sports and school activities. After graduation, he attended Paris Junior College, receiving a football scholarship to play for the Dragons. Later, after retirement, Mickey returned to his hometown of Leonard, where he spent the remaining years of his life. Some of his favorite pastimes included listening to the police scanner, keeping an eye on local politics, as well as talking to his cousins, Billy and Roby Watson, R.C. Kuhn, and his best friend Bob Irby. He also loved “holding court” every morning before sunrise with his friends at the Kwik Chek coffee booths. He was a member of The Church of Christ. Mickey is survived by his wife of 38 years, Joey, his sister Becky, his son Kyle and daughter Kelley, stepson Steve, and his grandchildren: Jason, Christi, Kenneth and Cheyenne. He was preceded in death by his parents, brother Kenneth, his former wife Nancy, and his stepson Eddie. A graveside service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Leonard Fire Department PO Box 1169 Leonard Texas 75452 and The Leonard Museum PO Box 450 Leonard Texas 75452.
ANN (READ) RENFRO
Bonham-Ann (Read) Renfro, age 58, of Ivanhoe, TX was born on January 14, 1964 in Derby, England to Samuel “Sam” James and Winifred “Win” Elsie (Fordham) Read. Ann passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 14, 2022, after a valiant battle with Glioblastoma. Even after such a devasting diagnosis, Ann fought like the warrior that she was and remained courageous, positive, and humorous- the same way she lived her life. Ann married Lynn Edward Renfro on May 28, 2004 in Bonham, TX. She was a devoted wife, mother, daughter, Ninny, Grannie, sister, and friend. In her younger days, Ann was a fun loving, strong willed, and determined child. Those traits followed her into adulthood. Normally a reserved, gentle soul, Ann was fiercely protective of her loved ones and did not hesitate to advocate for them. She lived life to its fullest. She enjoyed spending time with her family, spending time with friends at the river, being early everywhere she went, losing all her money at the casino, and rescuing orphaned animals. Left to cherish her memories are her husband, Lynn Renfro; daughter Jade Warburton and husband Gary Johnson; daughter Kirsty Carroll and husband Blake; stepdaughter Lauren Weissert and husband Heath; stepson Ethan Renfro and wife Michelle; mother Win Read; sister Jane Poskocil and brother-in-law Keith; grandchildren Ella, Josey and Graham Johnson, Piper and Tucker Carroll, Brayden, Eastyn, and Hoyt Weissert, Vanah Renfro and Emma Ford; nephews Dan, Will, and Steve Poskocil and other extended family.

CLASSIFIEDS NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION FOR TPDES PERMIT FOR MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER RENEWAL PERMIT NO. WQ0010704002 APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION. City of Trenton, P.O. Box 44, Trenton, Texas 74590, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for a renewal of Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0010704002, which authorizes the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 165,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on April 28, 2021. The facility is located approximately 1,907 feet west of the intersection of Farm-to-Market Road 815 and Sewer Plant Road, in the City of Trenton, Fannin County, Texas 75490. The treated effluent is discharged to Indian Creek, thence to Soil Conservation Service Site 39 Impoundment, thence to Indian Creek, thence to Pilot Grove Creek, thence to Lake Lavon in Segment No. 0821 of the Trinity River Basin. The unclassified receiving water use is minimal aquatic life use for Indian Creek. The designated uses for Segment No. 0821 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. https://tceq.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=db5bac44afbc468bbddd360f8168250f&marker=96.3455%2C33.4247&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 Trenton City Hall, 216 Hamilton Street, Trenton, 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 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.

Box 13087, Austin, TX 78711-3087 or electronically at www14.tceq.texas.gov/epic/eComment/ within 30 days from the date of newspaper publication of this notice. INFORMATION AVAILABLE ONLINE.

To assure a second-consecutive and overall trip, he has focused this season on a few areas of his game. “I’ve really tried to improve my serve and forehand and my consistency and make
