Bois D’Arc Lake Committee – Cemeteries & Lake Bonham Zoning Discussed
By Rose Schwartz
Thursday, June 3, 2021, County Judge Randy Moore called to order at 8:34 a.m., the Regular Meeting of the Bois d’Arc Lake Zoning Commission. Quorum was established as there were three members present and one participating via teleconference. Matt Titsworth was absent. 2. Public Forum: There were no speakers for Public Forum. 3. Approve meeting minutes from 05/06/2021 Public Hearing and 05/06/2021 Regular Meeting: Judge Moore stated that regarding the minutes under comments where Matt Titsworth said that; “it should be in regulation if it is not going to be enforced”, he believes what was actually said was, “that it should not be in regulation if it is not going to be enforced”. He also noted that on Item 5 and Item 6, both items had been ac2017 Nissan Sentra OVED /APPR 2017 Lincoln MKC LD SO 2017 Hyundai Elantra 2017 Ford Escape Titanium 2016 Toyota Camry 2016 Toyota Camry 2015 RAM 1500 4X4 2015 Ford Focus 2015 Ford Fiesta 2015 Ford Escape OVED 2015 Chevy Traverse /APPR LD SO 2015 Chevrolet Cruze 2014 Nissan Versa Note 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 2014 Jeep Patriot 2014 Jeep Cherokee OVED 2014 Hyundai /APPRSonata LD SO 2014 Ford Escape 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 2014 Chevrolet Equinox 2013 Ford Escape 2012 Volkswagon Routan 2012 Ford Fusion 2012 Ford Focus SE OVED 2012 Dodge Journey /APPR LD SO 2012 Chrysler 200 2012 Chevy Malibu LT 2012 Chevy Malibu 1LT
cepted, approved and passed by the Commissioners Court per Bois d’Arc Commission’s recommendation. Gilbert Welch noted a verbiage correction was needed on item 8 changing 100 ft setback to 100 ft frontage. Motion was made, seconded and passed that the minutes be accepted with the modifications. 4. Discussion, regarding notifying the Fannin County Historical Commission of zoning change requests on properties where cemeteries are located. Malinda Allison of the Fannin County Historical Commission along with Larry Standlee, spoke regarding a list of historical cemeteries located within the 5,000 ft Buffer Zone of Bois d’Arc Lake that was given to the Fannin County Development Service Director Di Hopkins. Ms. Allison requested the Historical Commission be notified whenever an application for rezoning or a variance is made 2012 Chevy Equinox LT 2012 Chevy Equinox LT 2012 Chevy Cruze 2012 Chevrolet Malibu 2012 Chevrolet Cruze OVED 2012 Buick LaCrosse /APPR LD SO 2012 Buick LaCrosse ED PROV 2011 Ford SuperCrew /APF150 LD SO OVED /APPR 2011 Chevy Traverse LD SO 2011 Chevy Impala LT 2011 Chevy Impala LT 2011 Chevy HHR 2011 Chevrolet Suburban 2010 Mitsubishi Galant 2010 Kia Soul OVED /APPR 2010 Honda Accord LD SO 2010 Ford Fusion 2010 Ford Fusion 2010 Chevy Malibu 2010 Chevy Equinox 2010 Chevy Camaro OVED 2010 Buick Enclave /APPR LD SO 2009 Toyota Sienna 2009 Silverado 2009 Nissan Versa 2009 Kia Borrego 2009 Ford F350 Flatbed 2009 Ford F-150
involving land where these cemeteries are located, as it is the responsibility of the Historical Commission to oversee their protection. She went on to explain their desire is to contact the landowner/landowners for several reasons, with one being that the law requires that reasonable access be given to those wishing to visit a cemetery. By knowing who owns the property where a historical cemetery resides, their job as an intermediary for those wishing to visit the cemeteries and current landowners, would be made a lot easier and would prevent folk from having to trespass on private property. Judge Moore and Ms. Hopkins explained that steps are being taken to add the cemeteries to the map that would enable Ms. Hopkins to check, once permit applications are made, if a cemetery is located within any land involved in a rezoning or a variance request. It was agreed that the Bois d’Arc

with Bois d’Arc Commission and later with the Commissioners Court that will probably be accomplished in the weeks ahead. Gilbert Welch brought up the issue of ETJ (extra territorial jurisdiction) and used the Boat Storage facility on R3 as an example. Ms. Hopkins replied that the Boat Storage Facility is not an ETJ but is a City of Bonham property. Discussion ensued regarding other municipalities and their zoning or lack thereof and what needs to be done to prepare those municipalities to work with the Bois d’Arc Commission.

Flag Day June 14
**Open 7 Days A Week** representing the fifty states of America. The color of our flag has a special meaning: RED symbolizes Hardness and Valor. WHITE symbolizes Purity and Innocence. BLUE represents Vigilance, Perseverance and Justice. The American Flag has several names. It is called... “The Stars and Stripes.” “Old Glory.” “Star Spangled Banner.” Many brave Americans have fought and died defending what the American Flag stands for. Many brave Americans have been brought home in a casket draped with the American Flag - That flag was then presented
3/16/21
Submitted by Louis Holmes Korean War Veteran In 1916 the president of the United States of America signed into law a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day. On August 3rd, 1949 a National Flag Day was established by Congress and signed into law by President Harry Truman. Flag Day is not an official holiday, but a day to remember what the American Flag stands for. On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress passed as act establishing an official flag for this new nation. Over the past 200 years the American Flag has changed as new states have been added to the union. Today the flag of the United States has thirteen stripes alternating of Red and White representing the Thirteen original Colonies with a field of Blue with Fifty White stars,
to loved ones. The American Flag is never to be dipped or flown lower than the flags of other nations, and should be honored and respected by everyone who lives under the protection it provides. For over 200 years the American Flag has been a symbol of our nations Strength and Unity. A source of Pride and Inspiration for millions of Americans. The American Flag is known around the world as a Beacon of Liberty and Justice. The Stars and Stripes (Old Glory) The Star Spangled Banner graces the class rooms of our schools and College Campuses. It graces our Court Rooms and Court Houses and
the streets of our cities. The American Flag has gone to war in Europe, Asia, Africa and the islands of the Pacific. It has flown on battle ships over the two great oceans and the Seven Seas. That Star Spangled Banner has draped the caskets of Americans who died in Battle, and covered the bodies of men buried at sea. Let Us Remember: Flag Day is a day for all Americans to celebrate and show respect for our flag. Our Flag represents our Independence and unity as a nation. We are One Nation under God and our flag has a Proud and Glorious history.

ally his aunt so he suggested Louis write to his cousin in Texas. Louis took her name and address. Louis wrote Edna a letter of introduction and within a few days, he received a letter in return. That began a 2 ½ year letter-writing campaign. During that time they wrote about marriage, spending their lives together, the kind of car they both liked. (1948 Two-toned green Fleetline Chevrolet with radio and heater) They both wanted two children, a boy first and then a girl. Louis’ life ambition was to be a driller in the oil field. Everything the two of them wrote about in their letters came to be. Louis’ letters were read by Edna’s entire family. Her

mom and dad didn’t mind them planning to spend their lives together. After all, Louis was thousands of miles away. After spending 2 ½ years in Japan and 9 months of combat in Korea, Louis was sent home in May 1951. Wanting to talk to Edna, Louis called the operator to get her dad’s
phone number. He called and heard her voice for the first time. Louis decided he would go to Texas to see Edna. Louis took his mom with him. Edna said she would be wearing a pink dress so he would know her. Louis and his mom arrived at the Greyhound bus station in Vernon, Texas on Tuesday at 2 a.m. After Louis made a trip to the restroom to freshen up, he met back up with his mom. She said, “Louis, there is a girl in a pink dress sitting in a car outside.” He went outside and saw Edna for the very first time. That was at 2 a.m. on June 5th. They were married on Sunday, June 10, 1951. June 10, 2021, they will celebrate 70 years of marriage. They have had a wonderful life together. God has blessed them abundantly.

Bois D’Arc Lake Continued from page 1 Motion was made, seconded and passed to have a public hearing set about eliminating the double zoning issue involving Lake Bonham properties. 6. Discussion, consideration and action regarding masonry requirements in the Lake Zoning Regulations: Di Hopkins began a discussion regarding the enforcement of masonry requirements with it being noted by Judge Moore that the legislative session is still in play and there is a possibility that something could happen with the legislature that might change the current law which prohibits a county from mandating building materials. After much discussion, it was decided to wait until after the state’s legislative session comes to an end before making any changes to the manual regarding this issue.
said to Him ‘Lord, teach us to pray……’ He (Jesus) said to them ‘when you pray, say Father…’ “ We learn from this the beginning of the model prayer that “the God to Whom We Pray” is a very loving, special, personal God who wants us to call Him “Father”. He wants us to talk to Him as a child does with his earthly father. He doesn’t want us to be afraid to approach Him and to share with Him what is on our hearts. The God to whom we pray Motion was made, seconded and passed to table this item till next meeting. 7. Discussion, consideration and action regarding changes and/or modifications by landowners: A real estate developer who is a member of an LLC group who have purchased a large portion of property around the lake, spoke of plans that would entail specific change requests. He stressed though, that he and those he works with want to be respectful of the lake and the regulations that exist. He stated he was not prepared at this time to present those requests but would get back once they have their engineered plans completed. 8. Set next BDA LZC meeting and/or hearing date(s): A motion was made to set the next meeting date for July 1st at 8:30 a.m. with a public hearing being set at 8:20 a.m. 9. Adjourn: Motion was made, seconded and passed to adjourn at 9:19 a.m.

Discussion, consideration and action regarding county owned mowing equipment; three mowers and two weed eaters which are owned by all precincts: Fannin County Purchasing Agent Michelle Case described the condition and worth of the equipment.

A motion was made by Commissioner Magness and seconded by Commissioner Lackey to auction off the Cub Cadet at Precinct 4; The Cub Cadet at Precinct 3, Commissioner Magness will pay $250.00 to each of the other precincts to keep that at Precinct 3; The Hustler, Commissioner Lackey’s precinct will pay $500.00 to each of the other precincts to keep that as County property; Commissioner Self will purchase one of the weed eaters and will pay less than $50.00 to each of the precincts and Commissioner Lackey will purchase the other one and will pay the other precincts to do so. A motion passed. 12.

Commissioner Lackey wanted to extend good luck wishes to the girls of the Dodd City Softball Team who are at the State Tournament in Austin. He reiterated what Commissioner Magness spoke of regarding the problems on the roads due to the heavy rains and added that there wasn’t much that could be done until the rains subside. He noted that it’s not just the County Roads having the problems but city roads and TX Dot highway roads as well. He said he appreciate the public’s help. Judge Moore expressed a thank you to the VA for their Memorial Day celebration. He added that it was a good day to remember the 1.2 million veterans who had given their lives for our country and our freedom as freedom does not come cheap. 17. Adjourn: A motion was made, seconded and passed to adjourn at 9:31 a.m.
Shameria Davis with the Texas Association of Counties to speak on the matter of health insurance options for Fannin County employees. Mr. Trejo began by thanking the court and started his presentation by covering the matter of the 9% increase for the current medical insurance coverage and the 1.5% increase for the dental plan. Judge Moore asked if it was correct that for a $40,000 a year job, that would amount to a 2.75 % increase overall and Mr. Trejo and Ms. Davis agreed that it would. Ms. Davis explained that primarily due to Covid, there was an approximately 5% increase across the entire pool as opposed to the previous 2% increase the year before Covid. Discussion en-
sued about elective procedures having declined and high dollar claims being paid due to medical complications in Covid patients. It was pointed out that even with the cost increase, policies with TAC are substantially lower than other commercial market policies. After a discussion on the number of high dollar claims having been paid out in Fannin County, the conversation turned to a solution for reducing incidents of costly medical claims and rising policy costs by implementing “Mandatory Wellness Options”.

“To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the words of Him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again. I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich! I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not but of the synagogue of Satan. Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who is victorious will not be hurt at all by the second death.” Revelation 2:8-11

by their heart’s passion – their love for their Savior, Jesus The Light of that first Love had dimmed and Jesus told them they were in danger of having their lampstand removed. No light! No need for a lampstand! In His letter to Smyrna (Rev. 2:8-11), Jesus gave no such criticism. Smyrna is the only gathering of believers for which He had only words of encouragement. Although Smyrna was in an affluent area in the Roman Empire known for science and medicine and touting a population of 200,000, the body of believers in Jesus were relegated to the sidelines. They were barred from the social and political networks because of their strong faith and commitment to the message of Jesus Christ as the ONE WAY – the ONLY WAY to God. Their stance for Jesus Christ and the uncompromised truth of His Word gained them no friends. In fact, they lost jobs and influence and were in constant danger of being imprisoned or killed for their faith. Yet, Jesus said they were rich. Their name – the church in “Smyrna” gives insight into their earthly plight. The word, Smyrna, means Myrrh. Sound familiar? Myrrh is a strong, bitter herb – a gift that was presented to Jesus at His Birth (Matthew 2:11) and used to anoint the Old Testament temple which is a foreshadowing of the Eternal Temple, the Body of Christ, and the Kingdom Priesthood (Exodus 30:23-30). They were filled with the Holy Spirit and operated in His anointing which is necessary to perform any work acceptable to God. Yet this anointing is at odds with the world and the kingdom of darkness. The bitterness of Smyrna’s circumstances was a result of their uncompromising service to their Savior by the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus was familiar with their bitter life. He walked it Himself. These believers faced difficult and dangerous situations. To this Jesus said they were rich in His Eyes. He also told them that things were going to get worse. They were not only social outcasts, but they were also victims of traitors that called themselves true believers in God. Why? Because of their belief and acceptance of Yeshua, God’s Salvation in Jesus Christ, and their staunch denial of anyone or anything that compromised their uncompromising dedication to HIM. They would not “go along to get along” even when it led to persecution and death. Their strong faith had caught the devil’s attention, and there is nothing satan wants more than to destroy the testimony of true believers and destroy the works of the Holy Spirit through their faith and works in Him. In this country we have found it difficult to identify with these struggling believers because of the freedoms we have enjoyed in our country. But times have changed. Persecution may not have come to a theater near us, but it is on the schedule. I hope that when it comes close, we will be able to recognize it. My hope is that we have not created a place of safety behind walls of compromise. Because when the devil takes notice, he wants only one thing – to destroy the Truth, The Message, and the Messenger. JESUS SAID, “If the world hates you, understand that it hated me first. If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you because you are not of the world, BUT I HAVE CHOSEN YOU OUT OF THE WORLD. John 15:18-19 The Message that Jesus is the Only Way to God is rapidly becoming as unpopular in America as it was in the thriving town of Smyrna in the 1st Century Roman Empire. Because the church has slipped so silently into this compromise through decades of apathy and negotiations with the world, we hardly notice or recognize the problem. Yet, there is a sure test that illuminates the truth of this deadly disease. Where is the power of God that saves and changes lives? Are we, as the Body of Jesus Christ, satisfied with “having a form of godliness yet denying the power [of God].” 2 Timothy 3:5. Are we denying the truth of the good news – the Gospel – of Jesus Christ because it has been so long since we saw the true power of God operate that we don’t know what He looks like? Do we want to avoid persecution by the world, our community, our friends, families, and colleagues at all costs? Or will we follow Jesus, even if it costs everything we hold dear on this earth? Is it important to hear Him say, “WELL DONE, GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT. ENTER INTO THE JOY OF YOUR MASTER.” Matthew. 25:21? Signed: Teri Sheddy

That means how much money they will have for employee raises and how much they will have to spend on insurance and other things.

I had the privilege of meeting the North Texas Safari Park owners, Terry and Brandie Floyd, this past week and got the grand tour of their amazing park. Terry and Brandie have been here since 2006 and have a great love for the animals. They wanted to share this with the people and decided to open the park to the public. You can interact with the animals and you are provided with a cup of food to feed them. You can walk or the park has a drive through option so you can stay in your vehicle. Once you’re in the park, the owners welcome you to stay as long as you like. They are also building an Aviary for the birds that will open soon. They have a goal to do more expanding in the future. Brandie said soon they will open on Thursdays for big groups, like field trips for students. They have a rule that no drinks or food can be brought into the park. I saw Kangaroos, Giraffes (Baxter & Matrix), Goats, Ring-Tailed Lemurs, African Antelopes, Ostriches, a Miniature White Park Cow (Brutus), African Sulcata Tortoises, Water Buffalo, Camels and Zebras, just to name a few!! There is a gift shop on sight. This is so awesome for Fannin County and I encourage you to bring the family out and enjoy this experience!
