Looking Back - The First Year Building Lake Ralph Hall Press Release - It’s been one year since Lake Ralph Hall broke ground in Fannin County, and considerable progress has been made—particularly on

bridges, roads and the dam. Flatiron Constructors, the roadway contractor, is building a 1.1-mile pedestrian friendly SH 34 bridge over the North Sulphur

River, rerouting a portion of FM 1550, as well as making other road adjustments and closures. “Flatiron continues laying large beams on top of

“When we started a year ago, it was just grassland,” shared Josh Pfingst, Project Manager for Flatiron. “Within the last year, we’ve finished the entire substructure (or the support portion) of the bridge, which includes the columns

the concrete columns and pouring bridge decking,” said Ed Motley, Lake Ralph Hall Program Manager for Upper Trinity Regional Water District.

and caps. I’ve been really impressed by how much we’ve accomplished.” Pfingst attributes the project’s success to outstanding collaboration with Upper Trinity and other contractors, which has helped them plan the bridge to address potential challenges from the outset and address them effectively during construction. Bridge beams should be in place by July, and the entire road-related project is on schedule for substantial completion next summer. Construction has also started on the Leon Hurse Dam, an earthen dam that will be approximately 2.3 miles long when finished. About 90% of the dam site is now clear of brush and most of the structures and debris has been removed. Crews from Granite Construction are building up the north and south side embankments. Spillway excavation is nearing completion. During the last year, Upper Trinity also relocated the popular Ladonia Fossil Park to a new, temporary location on the north side of the river, east of FM 2990. This new park provides fossil hunters with easier access to the riverbed during construction of the reservoir. The Lake Ralph Hall reservoir is scheduled to begin delivering water by 2026. Continued

Fannin10/9/12 County 4-H Members Excel at Texas 4-H Roundup

Press Release - 4-H members from Fannin County 4-H participated at Texas 4-H Roundup and LEAD Academy in Bryan and College Station, Texas, June 6-9th. Texas 4-H Roundup, the pinnacle event for all of Texas 4-H, welcomed more than 1,300 youth to compete in approximately 50 diverse competitions throughout the week. The contests included both qualifying events, where 4-H members qualified at their county and district contests to compete at the state level, and invitational events. Texas 4-H Roundup was open to senior level, or high school aged, 4-H members only

this year. Additionally, the Texas 4-H Youth Development Foundation awarded just under $2.9 million in scholarships to 244 youth. LEAD Academy was an event for 4-H members, parents, and volunteers. Participants attended a college and career fair, participated in a day of community service around Bryan College Station, and participated in two days of educational workshops. 4-H is America’s largest youth development organization, empowering nearly six million young people with the skills to lead for a lifetime. 4-H is a community of young people

across America who are learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills. The mission of Texas 4-H is to provide meaningful opportunities for all youth to have fun, learn, explore, and discover. While participating in 4-H, young people make new friends, develop new skills, become leaders, and form positive attitudes helping them to be capable, responsible, and compassionate members of society. Texas 4-H, as part of the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, also stands to, through the application of science-based knowledge, create high-quality, relevant continuing education that encourages lasting and effective change. The Fannin County 4-H program is proud of the following youth for their participation and success at Texas 4-H Roundup and LEAD Academy: • Emily Sweet, Agriculture Product ID & Agriculture and Natural Resources Educational Presentation • Joseph Arris, Agriculture Product ID & Safety and Injury Prevention Educational Presentation • Robert Arris, Agriculture

Product ID & Family and Consumer Education Educational Presentation “We were proud to host Texas 4-H Roundup and LEAD Academy once again and allow our 4-H youth from across the state the opportunity to participate and excel,” said Montza Williams, Texas 4-H Youth Development Program Director. “It’s so fun to celebrate with members and leaders when so many come together. Roundup is a time of great promise, anticipation, fulfilled goals and fun memories. I’m looking forward to a great time as 4-Hers amplify impacts today and in the year to come.” The 2023 event is planned for June 5-8, 2023 in Bryan-College Station, Texas.

From My Life to Yours: Laying the Foundation

By Bro. Bill Beasley

In Memorium

Original Publish Date: July 01, 2014 The setting for this week’s writing began in Greensboro, North Carolina. It was a very memorable time in many ways. Time wise it was something that was taking place in early October, 1945. I had been sent here to receive my discharge from military service. With the war over in Japan, I had been notified that I would need to claim my pre-service job in December. This would mean a move back to Texas. The most memorable decision was one to be made in my heart. I did not want to go back to Texas without Sadie. For the past three months our relationship had grown to the point that I felt marriage was in

the making. We had been laying a good foundation. I was thinking proposal time – and I wired Sadie that upon my arrival in Mississippi I had something to tell her. I think she had the same feeling for the moment I returned she asked, “What do you have to tell me?” I shared with her that my discharge date had been set and that my job was waiting, then my proposal “I do not want to go to Texas without you. Will you be my wife?” She accepted and we planned the wedding for Nov 15, 1945. After a short honeymoon to the Gulf Coast we moved to Port Neches, Texas and began the joy of establish-

ing our home and growing our marriage. One of the first decisions that we made after moving was to become a part of a local church. The First Baptist Church of Port Neches received us as members and nurtured us through the first years. The thought that I have today for every family is to include the local church in your plans for building a strong home. The church will help you to build your home on God’s word and enjoy regular worship with others. And with this writing today I am finishing the first year of sharing my life with you. I look forward to the year ahead.

Lake Ralph Hall Zoning Commission Meeting – Growing Pains of a New Lake By Rose Schwartz Thursday, June 23, 2022, Fannin County Commissioner Jerry Magness who is the Chairman of the Lake Ralph Hall Zoning Commission, called the commission’s work session to order at 5:30 p.m. at the Lyday Hall in Honey Grove. The room was pretty much filled to capacity with concerned citizens. After noting how the Order of Business would proceed and when the public would be able to ask questions, Commissioner Magness requested remarks be courteous with civility in mind. He then introduced Daniel Harrison, Project Manager with Freese and Nichols, to present a summary of the progress made thus far on the Lake Ralph Hall Comprehensive Plan. 1. Presentation by Daniel Harrison of Freese and Nichols on 2nd draft of the Comprehensive Plan: Mr. Harrison began by explaining how his company works with counties and cities with their future planning needs. He introduced his colleague with Freese and Nichols, Urban Planner Connor Roberts, and noted they would be available after the meeting to address individually any questions and concerns had by the citizenry. He began with an overview of the project sched-

ule that started with the kick-off meeting in June/July of 2021 that brought them to today’s “2nd Draft Review” meeting and will tentatively end with a Plan Adoption sometime in October of 2022. Describing the two main objectives of today’s meeting as being to cover the accuracy of the Future Land Use map and to come to a consensus of how the categories are shown on the map and the meaning of those categories. He noted that after receiving input from previous meetings and open houses, a plan was drafted that has incurred some revisions with one being a change made to the vision statement to reflect a more “pro development attitude” coming from the community. He explained how 5000 ft from the shoreline of the lake will be the planning area with zoning control and went over the content of the chapters of the plan created thus far, noting those interested can go to the website, https://freese.mysocialpinpoint.com/ralphhall/ to view the progress being made on the plan. The eight changes made to the plan resulting from the March 7th and April 8th Lake Ralph Hall Zoning Commission Meetings that he covered in depth was; 1. Adding the 500 and 100 – Year Floodplains to the Physical Features Map,

2. Anticipated Reservoir Pool Elevation Discussion and Map, 3. Revising the Vision Statement, 4. Reordering the Guiding Principles, 5. Introducing recommendations 1.5, 1.6 and 2.4, 6. Future Land Use Plan Category Revisions, 7. Future Land Use Map Revisions, 8. General Revisions Regarding Fannin County Interests. In his presentation he touched on economic development, roadways, boat ramp areas, planned trails, regional fishing, hotels, dedicated bicycle lane on the bridge, recreational amenities, options on zoning boundaries, changes made to the lot sizes, and the pending Shoreline Management Plan that will include boat docks. He explained the goal at this point was to obtain consensus of approval for the changes made in order to progress to the final Open House with a completed plan. 2. Discuss the contents and recommended revisions to the Comprehensive Plan: After Mr. Harrison’s presentation, Commissioner Magness noted that the floor would be opened for public discussion, but that he also encouraged the citizenry to use a computer to look up the county website where a search for “Lake Ralph Hall Zoning Commission” would provide all the information that

one could possibly need on the Comprehensive Plan. Commission member Attorney Newt Cunningham then brought up a question regarding “the conservation trust” on page 55 of the plan that generated a discussion which resulted in concerns being voiced about the possibility of Upper Trinity’s vision for the lake, conflicting with the community’s vision for the opportunities economic development would bring to the community. “I’m in favor of water for Dallas but not to the detriment of Fannin County.” Mr. Cunningham’s comments highlighted the consensus that Lake Ralph Hall should be development friendly with the vision statement of the plan better reflecting the views of the citizens of Fannin County that Lake Ralph Hall should be a lake for Fannin County and not just a water system. After he spoke, Commission member Mayor Jan Cooper added her comments of balancing the natural with development as did Commission Member John Ed Shinpaugh noting that “a balance between doing nothing and concreting everything is to come up with a plan that allows Fannin County Incorporated to have a tax base that will generate revenue for the county.” Commission Member Jaylen Wallace noted “that

we have to do the right thing by having a balance of commercial area, a zoned development area, agricultural area…”. After the Commission’s comments, there was a procession of nine property owners who spoke to voice their concerns that included, why property was changed to commercial property on the land use map; who Freese and Nichols work for and how much property Upper Trinity owns; what happens to a land owners ag exemption if the land is designated commercial; if the current water supply will be able to handle the growth; will landowners be able to opt out of zoning; why is it taking so long to have a Shoreline Management Plan; why isn’t quality of life number one on the guiding principles of the plan; whether the city of Ladonia has jurisdiction in those areas where the city and the county zone overlaps; and the last speaker asking if there is anything that can be done to pressure Upper Trinity Regional Water District to speed up a Shoreline Management Plan. Mr. Harrison responded to the last question by noting that Bois d’Arc Lake Planning & Zoning did not have their SMP (Shoreline Management Plan) until after their Comprehensive Plan and their Zoning was in place

and could only assume that the same would apply for Lake Ralph Hall. Manager of Property Services for Upper Trinity Regional Water District Doug Janeway added his comments to explain how all the details need to be worked out before the SMP can be created. The last to speak was a citizen of Honey Grove who said due to what appeared to be a non-interest in bond funded public trail plans for the lake, she suggested that the verbiage referencing those trails be removed from the plan. 3. Develop consensus on any revisions to the plan: Commissioner Magness asked Mr. Harrison for a consensus on what was discussed. Mr. Harrison noted that there would be another revision to the vision statement, and a revised plan would be available for the Public Open House in August. At that time there would be opportunities to make final revisions. He noted the revised plan should be available in the earlier part of July for those interested to read online before the August meeting. When asked for a date for that meeting, it was noted that it would be at the end of August and though not yet set, the date will be advertised with the local media. It was also noted the Commissioners Court would be updated on the progress made. The meeting ended at 7:35 p.m.

Compton told the Kiwanis Club that the City of Bonham is considering leasing vehicles from a company that leases on a rotating basis. Several cities in Texas are currently using this program. The city-owned vehicles are older and always in need of repair. Leasing newer vehicles is actually saving the taxpayer money. A series of meetings will be held in the future to determine if this is feasible. Mayor Compton said there is a possibility of obtaining charging stations in the future to help with business and tourism in the city. County Commissioner Edwina Lane told the Kiwanians that in order to recruit and maintain county employees, the county commissions court

is considering adoption of a new wage scale. Kiwanis Club of Bonham,Texas, continues to manage Bonham Trade Day to raise funds to donate to youth groups of Bonham and Fannin County, and through Kiwanis International donate to Children of the World. Your support of Bonham Trade Days is appreciated both near and far. Thank you.

Native Texas Butterfly House and Garden at Heard Museum Reopens June 4

Press Release - From June 4 through October 2, 2022, visitors to the Native Texas Butterfly House and Garden at Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary in McKinney, Texas will have the opportunity to walk among free-flying native butterflies and other pollinators. Guests will be able to view butterflies up close while learning about their life stages and more. The butterfly house is regularly stocked with an assortment of native butterfly species, which varies throughout the exhibit. Guests may even get to see a butterfly emerge from a chrysalis. Inside the butterfly house, nectar plants are also available to feed the adult butterflies. There are even a few host plants for caterpillars to feed on (“host plants”). The butterfly garden, too, is filled with nectar plants and host plants that naturally attract these lovely creatures. Guests may even find a few ideas to try in home gardens, which can in turn help pollinators on a broader scale. From time to time, other species of wildlife that feed on insects or the nectar plants may also be found in the butterfly garden, including hummingbirds. This area is also a great setting for nature photography. The Native Texas Butterfly House and Garden is included in museum general admission and is free for Heard Museum members. The Native Texas Butterfly House and Garden is sponsored by NBC5. Learn more about this exhibit at www.heardmuseum.org/ butterflies.

Game Warden Field Notes

Bad Exit Plan During the night of May 14, 2019 a Fannin County game warden was alerted of a vehicle pursuit near his residence. The warden joined the pursuit and lent his knowledge of the area backroads to the other officers involved. When the subject entered a road the game warden knew had no exit, he advised officers the chase would be over very soon because the subject was headed toward a new pond that had been excavated recently. As predicted, the subject drove straight into the lake. The warden and other officers greeted the individual as he swam back to shore and safely placed him into custody. The warden then returned home to retrieve his river boat and assist with the recovery of the vehicle from the lake.

Texas Lake Levels +/as of 6/24/22 6/24/22

30-40 feet on baited holes. Crappie have been great seeing good numbers of large fish on brush piles, bridge pilings and rocks. Minnows are out fishing jigs right now. Largemouth bass have been slower than usual the last 2 weeks. The rapid warm up has them slower, but there is still a daylight bite on a frog in grass. Once the sun gets up a spinner bait or shallow crankbait near docks or riprap will work best. Captain Michael Littlejohn, Lake Tawakoni Guide Service Texoma EXCELLENT. Water stained; 73 degrees; 2.41 feet above. Fishing is fun as it enters the pattern we have waited for! Striped bass are excellent chasing shad all over the lake. Target deeper water starting with topwater baits until the fish are stacked up, then switch to slabs. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.

Catt

Cooper GREAT. Water lightly stained; 79 degrees; 2.50 feet low. Summer fishing patterns like triple digit weather is upon us. Catfish are good off docks and shorelines with cut bait. Crappie are good on main lake brush piles and standing timber with jigs and minnows. Bass are fair early morning with topwaters, transitioning to deeper water structures midmorning with chatterbaits and crankbaits. Lavon Tawakoni GOOD. Water lightly stained; 80 degrees; 1.78 feet low. The white bass and hybrid striper bite is good. Fish are moving a lot right now and require a lot of looking and moving. Slabs have been putting fish in the boat in chartreuse color. The catfish bite is wide open. Channels and blues 1-3 pounds are as good as it gets. Prepared baits are working best either in shallow water under floats or in

The Joy That Lasts Forever

WW.GFCF.ORG

By Mike Dickison (Minister of the Ivanhoe Church of Christ)

‘Blessed, Happy, are the Discouraged, the Sorrowful, the Lowly, the SpirituallyDepressed, the Merciful, the Pure in Heart, the Peaceful, and the Persecuted’ (Matthew 5:1-12). The Blessing is not ed By: in the Unfortunate Condition in itself, but in the Glorious Reward to come. We look to “Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:2). Heaven is so Infinitely Superior to Earthly Life, that anything that increases the Longing for Heaven should be regarded as a Blessing. Jesus said, “for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3). Jesus also said that “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 7:21). Jesus said, “for they shall be comforted” (Matthew 5:4). When the rich man and Lazarus died, the rich man lifted up his eyes in torment, but Lazarus was “comforted” (Luke 16:19-25). Jesus said, “for they shall inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5). Peter reminds us that we, “according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness” (2 Peter 3:13). Jesus said, “for they shall be filled” (Matthew 5:6). John records that “they shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 19. Asteroids For the Lamb which is in the 20.

we want to see God, we will “follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord” (Hebrews 12:14). Jesus said, “for they shall be called the children of God” (Matthew 5:9). When questioned about marriages in heaven, Christ said that “they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection” (Luke 20:3536). Jesus said, “for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Mat-

thew 5:10). Peter tells us that “Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him” (Acts 10:34-35). Jesus said, “for great is your reward in heaven” (Matthew 5:12). John tells of our individual responsibilities of receiving the reward that God has promised, “Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward” (2 John 1:8). Let us find JOY in serving the Lord. Paul lets us know that “the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith” (Galatians 5:22).

Sunday Morning Re-take

Hello everyone! We had a wonderful service in God’s house Sunday morning! Thank you to all of our visitors for coming and being a part of our worship service, and we hope to see you again! The Bible tells us in 1 John 3:1, “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us

not, because it knew Him not.” We have a loving Heavenly Father who loves us and has compassion on us. In honor of Father’s Day, I watched a movie entitled “Courageous.” The main characters are 4 Georgia sheriff deputies that are also fathers. They see firsthand the damage that can be caused because of children that come from a fatherless home setting. For a couple of them, it takes a serious wake-

The discharge route is from the plant site via pipe to an unnamed tributary; thence to Red River Below Lake Texoma. TCEQ received this application on May 23, 2022. The permit application is available for viewing and copying at Leonard Public Library, 102 South Main Street, Leonard, Texas. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility’s general location is provided as a public courtesy and 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=96.27876%2C33.386409&level=12 ADDITIONAL NOTICE. TCEQ’s Executive Director has determined the application is administratively complete and will conduct a technical review of the application. After technical review of the application is complete, the Executive Director may prepare a draft permit and will issue a preliminary decision on the application. Notice of the Application and Preliminary Decision will be published and mailed to those who are on the county-wide mailing list and to those who are on the mailing list for this application. That notice will contain the deadline for submitting public comments. PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting on this application. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or to ask questions about the application. TCEQ will hold 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, and the Executive Director’s decision on the application, 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 reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision and for requesting a contested case hearing. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in 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. 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.

up call to realize what kind of father that they’ve been. Because of this, they resolved to do whatever they can to be a better father to their children. After watching this movie, I am very glad that my father was involved in my life. He was a very good man. What I miss most about him is his sense of humor. When I thought about songs for Father’s Day, the first song that came to my mind is leading me to go in a different direction for the music reference this week. Phillips, Craig, and Dean first recorded this song in 1994, and it was later recorded by the Kingdom Heirs Quartet in 1995. It paints a picture of what a father should be. “Lord, I want to be just like You, cause he wants to be just like me. I want to be a holy example for his innocent eyes to see. Help me be a living Bible, Lord, that my little boy can read. Lord, I want to be just like You, cause he wants to be like me.” 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! Bro. Josh Stevenson Central Baptist Church Bonham, TX https://www.facebook.com/ cbcfannin
