Please join me in praying for our Nation and all those working toward returning us to a sense of normalcy. Please also pray for our leaders at all levels to seek His guidance as
• Immediately begin clearing ditches of debris – water carries away expensive gravel and must be channeled off road surfaces. • Career/Skill development training for Equipment Operators – provided at low cost through Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX). • Quality Analysis and Control program – Every job will have supervisory inspection and sign-off by my Foreman or me personally. We work for YOU. • Modernizing maintenance schedules for the care of County-owned equipment. • Communication – establishing a Schedule of Operations allowing residents to know when crews will be in their area. • Quarterly Newsletter – informing residents of progress made, challenges ahead, and opportunities to better our community. • Establish Pct. 1 Website for reporting maintenance needs, complaints and letters of appreciation. • Public access to my direct cellphone number where calls are promptly returned. • Budget transparency through publishing a simplified overview of how YOUR taxes are being spent. Accountability will be central to my serving as your County Commissioner. I offer a style of leadership that delivers on your expectations through an honest day’s labor. Though I may differ from past Commissioners who have served before me, it is these differences that serve as my Strengths.

they navigate the difficult decisions before them. There is so much each of us can do! Last week I started an initiative called #Lunches2Lift! to help unite our community in supporting our struggling restaurant industry. Citizens are encouraged to purchase $10 gift certificates then drop them off at any police department to be donated to the Fannin County Children’s Center and the Family Crisis Center. There they will be used to provide comfort to victims of violent crime. One promise I’ve made if elected County Commissioner, has been to serve as a strong advocate for Public Safety. This goes beyond basic Police & Fire services. We must find creative solutions outside of increasing taxes to support these efforts. Through planning #Lunches2Lift! has not only served as an economic stimulus to our local economy, but in just the first few days alone provided numerous meals to victims in need. We are a strong community! Leadership is about bringing people together. Addressing a shared concern and weighing options of resolution. One issue that many Fannin County residents share is the destructive roads that we must travel. This is a multi-faceted problem which also requires coordinated planning to resolve. We cannot simply promise to fill pot holes with gravel only to have them return after the next rain storm or speeding car that passes. My Response Plan consists in part of:

Commissioners Increase Safety Measures Against Covid-19 By Gabrielle DeMay The regular meeting of the Commissioners Court was called to order Tuesday, March 31, 2020, at 9:04 a.m. by Judge Randy Moore. The meeting was conducted through teleconference. Judge Moore established quorum, all commissioners were present on the call. The invocation was given by Reverend Darrel Hathcock, Director of Missions at Fannin Baptist Association. The pledges were led by Judge Moore. In consideration of outside auditor Lewis Crain, Judge Moore moved forward to item 12 on the agenda. 12 Lewis Crain summarized the Annual Financial Report from Rutledge Crain & Co., PC for Fiscal Year 2019 for listeners, stating the county is on a schedule that made $1,474,000, primarily through donations from the State. Crain advised the county keep an adequate reserve, recommending a minimum of 25% of prior expenditures, and praised elected officials for raising the reserve of 2019 to 35%. The report was approved. 4 The next item on the agenda, concerning approval of a Proclamation stating April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month in Fannin County, contained an inaccurate date, and was passed
until the next regular meeting. 5 Judge Moore read suggested revisions of the Fannin County Declaration of Disaster Proclamation for Covid-19, consistent with guidance from the CDC, and traveling for necessities as defined by Executive Order GA-08 of the Governor of Texas, specifically: 1) All public gatherings greater than 10 people are prohibited. 2) Any person who is sick or currently experiencing common Covid-19 symptoms including cough, fever, shortness of breath, is hereby ordered to stay home. 3) If any person in a household has tested positive for Covid-19, all persons in that household are hereby ordered to stay home. 4) If any person has tested for Covid-19, all persons in the household should stay home until tests results are received. 5) The court recommends any person 65 years of age or older, because they are at a higher risk for severe illness or exposure to Covid-19, should stay home unless traveling for necessities. 6) All businesses and employers are hereby ordered to take actions necessary to prevent the spread of Covid-19, to increase social distancing, minimum of 6 feet, in the normal
course of business activities, and to provide for a safe, clean, and healthy work environment. 7) All persons are hereby ordered to take actions necessary to prevent the spread of Covid-19, and to increase social distancing, minimum of 6 feet, in the normal course of business activities. This declaration shall take effect immediately from issuance, and be continued for a period not more than 7 days, unless continued or renewed by the Commissioners Court of Fannin County executives. Declaration will be given prompt and general publicity. Judge Moore opened for discussion. Commissioner Dean Lackey reported most school superintendents have contacted him, and together with several cities are looking to the county for unification and leadership

in the institution of a shelterin-place order. Commissioner Lackey suggested Hunt County’s shelter in place order as a model, and believed such an order to be in Fannin County’s best interests. Commissioner Lackey clarified that it was not the intention of any such order to interrupt or impede lunch programs for children while they are out of school. Judge Moore reported speaking with Fannin County Sheriff’s Office over the concern of the enforcement of a shelter-in-place order, and it was determined complete enforcement would only be possible with the assistance of the State Guard. Commissioner Lackey made the motion to approve suggested edits to the Proclamation under discussion, and to meet again on Wednesday, April 1, at 3 p.m. for discussion and

approval of a shelter-in-place order derived from the plans of nearby counties and tailored to Fannin County, to take effect Wednesday, April 1, at midnight. The motion passed.

The Events of Holy Week
By Bro. Bill Beasley “For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” – 1 Corinthians 1:18 It would not be feasible to give a full study of each
Commissioners Continued from page 3
6 Judge Moore acknowledged County Treasurer David Woodson to read the provisions of H.R. 6201, Families First Coronavirus Response Act, signed into law by President Trump on March 18, 2020, and the Fannin County Family Medical Leave Act form. Both forms were considered in the design of an application for county employees requiring paid medical leave under any of the stated provisions. Treasurer Woodson read the eligibilities of employees qualifying for paid sick leave under this plan. These forms will be made available to the public no later than April 1, 2020. Commissioner Magness made the motion to add both forms to the Covid-19 Response and Continuity of Operations Plan. The motion passed. 7 Judge Moore credited Commissioner Self with the suggestion of naming and adding “essential” Fannin County personnel to the Covid-19 Response and Continuity of Operations Plan. Judge Moore confirmed with Diana Cecil of TAC that such an addition was necessary, and she recommended naming only elected employees, department heads, 911 responders, and county road crews as essential. In light of the pending shelter-in-place order, Commissioner Self sug-
of the events that are a part of the week of weeks- Holy Week- but to mention them we must! To give more emphasis on the crucifixion scene we will. In next week’s article we will concentrate on life’s greatest discovery, the Resurrection. Yesterday was Palm Sunday. It is so named because it is in an account of the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. The worshippers filled the pathway with palm branches. Not long after, Jesus is seen in Gethsemane. He is praying with a heavy heart.
gested modeling the definition of essential employee after Hunt County’s current order to include all county employees, food providers, construction workers, farmers, plumbers, and electricians. Motion to send out essential personnel paperwork to all heads of departments for the county offices, to be filled out and provided to county employees by midnight, April 1, passed. 8 Judge Moore presented the Covid-19 Response and Continuity of Operations Plan for Fannin County to the Court, including how county employees will respond and what county offices will be open. Attention was directed to the new list of county offices, hours, and contact information now available on the county website. Judge Moore suggested adding a local health report to the Fannin County website to be updated daily. Judge Moore read a comment from District Judge Laurine J. Blake and County Court at Law Judge Charles Butler, stating an addition under the judge’s section: “the Governor’s Executive Order or any shelter-in-place order does not affect child custody orders regarding access and possession of children by trial court such as the 336th District Court and the County Court at Law. Local standing order addressing this is on file with the Fannin County District Clerk.” Plan and additions were approved. 9 The largest remaining contractor bid for Phase 2 of Fan-

It is here that Judas betrays the Master. He is arrestedgiven a mock trial before false witnesses. Pilate concurs with a sentence to crucify Jesus on the cross. Jesus is forced to carry His cross. He is placed on the middle cross between two thieves. I like to think of what happened to the three men. One thief died in his sin. The other died forgiven of his sin. The man on the middle cross died for our sins. Jesus shed His blood for us. He prayed for our forgiveness. The words He spoke from the cross speak volumes

When one stays home more, one cooks more. Well, that’s what has happened to me. I reverted back to years ago as a young mother and cook, when I made nearly everything from scratch. This week’s recipe is just that. It makes a really moist cookie with a delicious flavor. I haven’t made this recipe in over 40 years, but did a couple of weeks ago, and I had forgotten how good they are.

Press Release - We hope you and your family are safe and healthy! Like you, we have continued to adapt and adjust to help everyone stay healthy and to follow the guidelines from our local, state and federal officals regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Our center is currently closed but our work continues. All staff are working from home. Our counselors quickly learned and started telehealth so therapy can continue. CASA volunteers and staff are making it a priority to have regular contact with our kids via Facetime, Skype or other visual app. Court hearings, staff meetings and other work are being conducted via Zoom, phone calls, emails, etc. Staff are coming in to the office to conduct forensic interviews as needed for our partners in CPS and law enforcement. We have cancelled upcoming prevention classes, as well as other meetings and larger gatherings. We have also delayed the pick up days for blue shirts in order to minimize exposure for everyone, so we can all stay healthy. See below for more details. We will continue to monitor the situation and adapt as needed. By working together, being flexible and helping one another, we will get through this trying time. Shirts Pick up Days Delayed In an effort to limit exposure and keep everyone healthy, we have delayed the pick up days for the blue shirts to at least April 24. This date may change, depending on how things are going at that time. The on-line shirt store is still open and is set to close on April 17. Click on the button below to see all of the designs and styles available and to place your order

Press Release - The government has recently passed a bill aimed to support small business at this troublesome time. An important part of this bill is “Paycheck Protection Program”. Below is an easy summary of what you should know. What actually is this Paycheck Protection Program? A 100 percent federally guaranteed loans program called “Paycheck Protection Program” is a part of Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. This is approximately $350 billion program. The purpose is to provide small business with eight weeks of cash flows. You can read this bill in detail on this link. https://www. congress.gov/116/bills/hr748/BILLS-116hr748enr.pdf Program highlights • This loan can be forgiven and ends up with a nontaxable grant. • The loan available could be utilized to cover specified expenses, included but not limited: o Payroll expenses o Rent expenses o Mortgage expenses o Utility expenses. Who can qualify for this program? Almost everyone! This program is broader than SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL). It is available for independent contractors, small businesses including sole proprietorships and self-employed. Do you want to know what documents to be submitted? If you want us to prepare a financial statement for you to include in loan application or just figure out what documents to submit, speak with one of our loan experts at 214-315-6392 or email us at mail@sginccpa. com (Attn: PPP Program) How does this differ from the SBA’s EIDL? •Business or personal collateral is not required. The SBA EIDL may ask you a collateral for the loan amounts over $25,000. •PPP is available even if you have access to credit somewhere else. You do not qualify for SBA’s EIDL if you have other source of credit. •PPP covers limited type of expenses (details below). The SBA EIDL can cover almost all operating expenses. •PPP loan can be forgiven / turn into a grant subject to the terms. The SBA EIDL cannot be forgiven. What are the similarities between PPP and EIDL? •Both of them are low-interest loans •To secure either of them, you need to demonstrate that business for economically affected due to COVID-19 •Both of the loans are provided on long-term basis. •There are no penalties on prepayments •Both of them has an option of deferring period subject to lender’s approval. •**HOWEVER, EIDL IS GENERALLY NOT FORGIVEABLE EXCEPT FOR A $10,000 ADVANCE*** Where can a business use the loan funds for? The funds are provided to retain workers and maintain payroll or make mortgage payments, lease payments, and utility payments. The funds used for other than expenses given below will not be eligible for forgiveness: •Payroll including tips and commission payments •Group health care benefits/insurance premiums; •Mortgage, rent, and lease payments •Utilities •Interest on any other debt obligations that were incurred before the covered period. How much funding will be provided under PPP? The loan amount will be a calculated as per below formula: Monthly average cost of past twelve months of your business’s qualified payroll expenses multiply by 2.5 times. This amount will not exceed $10 million. Also note that if you will receive a loan under PPP, you may lose your eligibility for EIDL SBA loan to cover payroll expenses. How to get the loan forgiven? After being given the PPP Loan, all qualified expenses for 8 weeks paid for by the PPP loan shall be forgiven What documents need to be provided to apply loan forgiveness? The lender must make a decision within 60 days of your forgiveness application submission.

cast one of the many excellent fire ant baits over the entire lawn. When collected by foraging ants, bait particles are carried to all colonies in the treated area and shared with queens and other fire ants in the colony. The second phase is to directly treat any fire ant colony requiring immediate control.

Bonham High School Reunion Postponement April 2, 2020 After careful consideration and in direct response to the current state of affairs surrounding the novel Coronovirus (COVID-19), we must sadly confirm the rescheduling of our 2020 Bonham High School All-School Reunion. Having spent the last few years preparing for this event, we are
genuinely disappointed not to be able to host you at this time. While this decision comes at a time of universal uncertainty, the safety and welfare of our alumni, staff, and community are of our utmost concern. The Bonham High School All-School Reunion will now take place the weekend of June 11th-13th, 2021. For those of you that have already regis-

For best results during the hottest months, apply bait during the cooler evening and night hours. Always read and follow label directions before applying any bait or insecticide. Especially be sure to select the proper type of chemicals for use around vegetable gardens. For alternative approaches to the Two-Step Method, visit our website at http://fireants.tamu. edu. world copes, please know our board has you in our thoughts. We hope you all remain healthy and safe during this difficult time. See you in 2021!

NRCS Accepting Applications 11/12/19 for Urban, Rural Garden Grants
Temple, Texas, March 30, 2020 — The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is accepting grant applications until May 29, 2020, to establish gardens, rainwater harvesting systems and high tunnels through Project G.R.E.E.N. (Growing Roots for Education, Environment and Nutrition) and through the Texas NRCS Urban and Rural Conservation Project. Grant funding will help establish gardens to grow healthy produce in areas of need and to educate urban and rural youth, organizations, and communities about the importance of conservation, agriculture and growing healthy fresh vegetables. The Texas Urban and Rural Conservation Project will provide technical and financial assistance to eligible entities to establish or improve gardens for food production and pollinator habitat, including habitat for monarch butterflies, to install rainwater harvesting systems, and to establish high tunnels to extend the growing season for fruits and vegetables. These grants are available to entities other than schools. Project G.R.E.E.N. (Growing Roots for Education, Environment and Nutrition) grants are available only to independent, private, public and state controlled school districts, and private, public and state controlled institutions of higher education. The grants have four components–community gardens, pollinator habitat, high tunnels and rainwater harvesting

systems. Applicants can apply for one, two, three or all four components of the grant in one application. USDA is an equal opportunity employer, provider, and lender. “Even in today’s modern world, there are areas of the U.S. that don’t have easy access to affordable, fresh foods that make up a healthy diet,” said NRCS Acting State Conservationist for Texas Drenda Williams. “These areas are considered food deserts; this grant opportunity helps address those.” These grant opportunities are efforts to challenge community organizations, educational institutions and Native American tribes to establish community and school gardens across Texas. Pollinator habitat planted with gardens can provide an increase in harvest potential while providing food and habitat for declining insect communities in Texas. Grants are available for up to $4,000 for a vegetable garden, $3,000 for a pollinator garden, $5,000 for a rainwater harvesting system and $6,500 for a seasonal high tunnel. The notice of funding opportunity for both grants is available at https://www.grants.gov. Applications for Project G.R.E.E.N. (opportunity number USDA-NRCS-TX-PG20-GEN0010731) and applications for the Texas Urban and Rural Conservation Project (opportunity number USDANRCS-TX-URCP20-GEN0010730) are due May 29, 2020.

Fannin County Covid–19 Update
For Immediate Release Fannin County Judge Randy Moore
Yesterday, April 1, 2020, Fannin County Commissioners Court voted to follow Governor Abbott’s Executive Order GA-14, which limits activities and designates essential services. Even though it is not named “Stay in Place Order”, it basically is! Several businesses will have to close. Schools will remain closed until May 4, 2020 at this time. Visit the Fannin County Website (www.co.fannin. tx.us) for links to a list of “Essential Services” to determine if a business and its employees is considered essential. Fannin County also has a Proclamation in place: Those who are ordered to stay home are: •Any person who is sick or currently exhibiting symptoms such as fever, cough, and shortness of breath is hereby ordered to stay home. •Any person in a household who has tested positive for COVID-19, and all persons in that household is hereby ordered to stay home. •Any person who has been tested for COVID-19, and all persons in that household
should stay home until test results are received. Other COVID-19 Orders and Recommendations: •The Court recommends any person 65 years of age or older, because they are at a higher risk for severe illness from exposure to COVID-19, should stay home (unless traveling for necessities). •All businesses and employers are hereby ordered to take actions necessary to prevent the spread of COVID-19, to increase social distancing (minimum of 6 feet) in the normal course of business activities, and to provide for a safe, clean and healthy work environment. •All persons are hereby ordered to take actions necessary to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to increase social distancing (minimum of 6 feet) in the normal course of business activities.

Although currently it does not seem that we have a major problem yet in Fannin County, don’t let this fool you about the seriousness of this deadly virus. To keep COVID-19 out, we must all do our part. This will pass, but we have to work together. •This is not the time to have a “Social Distance Party” or a casual gathering of friends and family. This is a time for social distancing….stay at home. •We all need guidelines on how to manage the COVID-19 virus. Some of these guidelines are listed above, and some should come from your healthcare professional. Do these things because you care about your family, friends and neighbors! TAKE COVID-19 SERIOUSLY!

Coaching search underway for new head of Rebs hoops By Rich Hilliard IVANHOE -- Class 2A Sam Rayburn will have a new head boys basketball coach for the 2020-21 school year. The new coach, who will also oversee the boys junior high basketball program and assist with the jayvee team, will fill the coaching roles currently held by Travis Jones. On March 19, Sam Rayburn ISD’s board of trustees accepted the resignation of Jones who served as the high school and junior high head boys basketball coach, baseball assistant and athletic director during his lone school year (2019-20) with the district. Jones, whose resignation is effective at the end of the current school year, on March 31 attributed his departure to beginning pursuit of a master’s degree. Sam Rayburn in February finished winless for a second-consecutive year in varsity boys district basketball in 12-2A -- still rebuilding after heavy graduation losses off 2018’s regional quarterfinalist team. The new head boys basketball coach will equate the third in as many seasons for Sam Rayburn, which will have mostly different district opponents for the next two seasons as a part of the new 14-2A: Celeste, Honey Grove, Merit Bland, Tom Bean (holdover), Trenton and Wolfe City. The job counted as one of two coaching positions listed by Sam Rayburn on March 23 at https://www.teacherjobnet.org/ Jobs/Jobpost.exe Sam Rayburn also seeks a volleyball assistant to coach
the jayvee and assist with the varsity -- both first-time high school squads at Sam Rayburn-- under returning head volleyball coach Ali Wood. The new volleyball assistant will fill the role handled last fall by Melissa (Ross) Rich during Sam Rayburn’s inaugural season -- which only included fielding junior high teams in the sport. Rich, a Bonham High School alumna and volleyball player, will continue to be a counselor for Sam Rayburn ISD. The Lady Rebels will make their high school volleyball debut in the new 16-2A which also includes 2A’s Collinsville, Tioga, Tom Bean, Trenton and Wolfe City and 1A’s Dodd City and Savoy. The top four 2A teams per 2A district advance to the 2A postseason bracket. Bonham The second sport for each new Sam Rayburn coach will be negotiable. May 1 equates the closing date for each coaching search. Additional details about each position may be found at the aforementioned website.
