Bonham Independent School District Dear Bonham ISD Resident: Bonham ISD’s School Board has called a $60 million bond for the November 8, 2022, election. The Bond Planning Committee came back togeth er after the failed May 2022 bond and collected feedback through a community survey. The Committee unanimously voted to make a recommenda tion to the Board of Trustees to move forward with a bond on November 8, “Maintaining2022.and improving our facilities in order to sup port our students’ education is a challenge that is not going away. I appreciate the work and feedback our community has put into this bond planning process, and we look forward to the election in November,” Bonham ISD Superintendent Kelly Trompler said. The district’s financial advi sor has determined that there would be no school tax rate increase to finance this bond, but will con tinue the existing I&S tax rate of 34 cents. The bond scope will consist of the same projects proposed in the May 2022 referendum include:which ● L.H. Rather Junior High ○ Renovation of upstairs classrooms to 1992 addition housing grade 6 ○ New two-story class room addition north of compe tition gym housing grades 7-8 ○ New multi-purpose facili ty, including a stage for student performances ○ New Vo-Ag classrooms ○ New Band Hall ○ New Cafeteria in main building ○ Robyn C. Hill Competi tion Gym renovation ○ Practice field relocated to south end of campus ● Finley-Oates renovations ● Bailey Inglish renovations We are asking every citizen to be educated about the bond. It is important to have your voice heard during this election. Re mind your friends, neighbors, and relatives to get involved and ask questions. Bonham ISD residents will have the opportunity to vote on the Bond Referendum beginning with early voting October 24 - November 4, and on Elec tion Day, November 8, 2022. Please visit Bonham ISD’s bond website for more infor mation, at BonhamISDBond. com or reach out to me person ally with any questions: trompler@bonhamisd.org.kelly.

BONHAM, TEXAS CHURCH By Bro. Bill Beasley (NKJV) Matthew 25:35-40 From 1942-1945, I had the privilege of doing military service for my country. Since 1947, it has been my joy to do service for the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Many of the thoughts that I have written about in previous columns were based on MuchmyrememberedexperiencesfromAirForcedays.ofthewriting that I will be doing in weeks to come will be born from our work in the pastoral ministry. While I was the one called “pastor”, my wife served faithfully by my side as fellow laborer in our life’s work and was a very important person in “our” story. Prior to enrolling as freshmen in college, in the fall of 1947, we had been mentored by our pastor and his wife. Their advice proved to be valuable help in the service to which we had been called. My thought for this week is suggested in the two passages mentioned above. Every life is a plan of God. While you have not been called to the pastoral service, you have been called to do service none the less, and the service role God has planned for you is important to His Kingdom. At the same time, this is important to fleshing out His purpose in your life. In a research study made by an educational institution in Michigan this truth resulted. “Being a servant adds years to your life, and life to your years.” A good principle to live by may well be in the asking of the question “What can I do for you today?”Weare taught in Matthew 25 “We serve Jesus, when we serve others.” As we go into our church to worship, may it be that we leave with the heart to serve.

7. Discussion, consider ation and action to modify and extend the Burn Ban for Fannin County – County Judge: Fannin County Emer gency Management Coordina tor Troy Hudson spoke to give reasons why he believes the Burn Ban should be extended one more week. He specifi cally noted that since the rain has occurred there has been 2 fires needing attention. Judge Moore added his thoughts on why he agreed that though there had been recent rains, it was not yet a good time to lift the Burn Ban noting that “what’s on the ground is dead” and can still fuel fires. After he explained why it takes a little time for vegetation to respond to moisture and the fire danger to diminish, he stated he also would like to see the Burn Ban extended one more week. Commissioner Lane agreed, noting that she had heard from volunteer fire chiefs stating the same argument before making the motion to extend the Burn Ban one more week. Com missioner Self seconded the motion and Judge Moore re minded all that there are con cessions in the Burn Ban for controlled burns by NTMWD and Upper Trinity Water dis tricts and noted that the Coun ty and the Sheriff’s Depart ment need to be notified of any intention to conduct controlled burns. The vote for the motion to extend the Burn Ban one more week was then taken and passed unanimously.
6. Discussion regarding EMS monthly report for July 2022 – County Judge for Scott Ridling, Fire Chief: Bonham Fire Chief Scott Ridling reported how July was the second busiest month of the year thus far with 435 runs being made. He noted many hospitals in the area are either full or on the verge of being full. He also noted his depart ment is currently fully staffed with all ambulances function al. Questions posed was why there were so many runs, why the hospitals are so full and what was the reason for can cellation calls where people refuse service.

The Conditions of Discipleship
By Mike Church(MinisterDickisonfortheIvanhoeofChrist)
The Lord set conditions of being His disciples. Je sus said “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed” (John 8:31). Christ also said “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that do eth the will of my Father which is in heaven” (Mat thew 7:21). To be a disciple of the Lord, one must keep His commandments. John records the words of the Lord; “If ye keep my com mandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s com mandments, and abide in his love” (John 8:31). We must obey. The apostle John also wrote, by inspiration of God, to Christians, “if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fel lowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 John 1:7). We must live our lives in walking according to God’s word, the Bible. Jude reminds us of the responsibility that we have in keeping ourselves in His discipleship.“Keepyourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eter nal life” (Jude 1:21). We must make choices to keep ourselves obedient, living righteously, and in the love ofToGod.do these things we must tell ourselves ‘no’ to ungodliness and disobedi ence. Jesus said, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me” (Luke 9:23). To be a disciple of Christ, one must put the Lord’s will above one’s own. We do this by believing in Je sus as Christ, the Son of God (John 8:24), repent ing of sins (Luke 13:3), by confessing Jesus before men (Matthew 10:32-33), by being baptized (Mark 16:16), and by being faith ful to Him (Revelation 2:10). These are all the words of Jesus Christ. Call or Text

New Drought Related Problems for North Texas Trees
North Texas is certainly no stranger to drought, and this won’t be our last. Be cause of the way trees re spond to stress, it is typical ly 3-5 years before we see the real health effects that drought has on our trees. Currently, there is a new pathogen affecting Ce dar Elms in our area. Ce dar Elms, while extreme ly drought tolerant, still become stressed, and stress makes them susceptible to opportunistic pests and dis ease. The newest disease to affect Cedar Elms is called Dothiorella Wilt, or simply Native Elm Wilt. This fun gal pathogen causes indi vidual twigs and branches to yellow and rapidly brown. If caught early, the pathogenic cankers can be pruned out by cutting 24 inches below the infected branch. It is imperative to soak the cutting tool in alcohol between each cut to avoid spreading the dis ease further. If left untreated, the dis ease will further stress and eventually kill the tree. As with most insects and disease, this pathogen requires a stressed host. The most effective strat egy is to ensure adequate water for your most im portant Elm trees during the drought. Healthy and vigorous trees are better able to ward off attacks by these opportunistic pests. Lee Brown, Tree Wise Arboricultural Consul tants, 903-505-2105.
“We are very appreciative of TCEQ and SEP funds; they allow us to provide a much-needed service to the region,” stated Molly Guard, GIS & Planning Program Manager. The United States En vironmental Protection Agency (EPA), describes HHW as leftover house hold products that can catch fire, react, or explode under certain circumstances, or that are corrosive or toxic. Products, such as paints, cleaners, oils, batteries, and pesticides can contain ingredients that are hazard ous and require special care when you dispose of them. Improper disposal of these wastes can pollute the en vironment and threaten hu manThehealth.HHW collection event has been a attended,wellhightiesandinging,dumpoushazardeffectsadversefromourprotectingaservingevent,demandasmeansofregiontheofwastesavcitiescounthe high cost of ofthereducingfeesdisposalHHWandcostcrews coming to pick up and dis pose of the waste. The last Fannin County collection event was held in June of 2021, where over 94 households participated. “We collected well over 6,000 pounds of paint and 1,400 pounds of electronics,” ex plained Guard. “We hope to do at least as well this year.”
Acceptable items collected at the event include house hold quantities of hazardous waste (household chemicals, batteries, pesticides, insec ticides, etc.) and electronic items (computers, phones, printers, kitchen appliances, etc.) A complete list of ac ceptable and restricted items is available on TCOG’s web site and can also be found on the HHW registration form. Any Texoma resident can participate in the event at no cost, though the event is by appointment only. We ask that all participants pre-register and arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before your appointment to reduce wait times. To schedule an appointment, visit TCOG’s website, form/tion-event-reservation-services/msw/hhw-collecwww.tcog.com/regional-or
For questions or additional information on household hazardous waste, contact Molly Guard at (903) 8932161 ext. 3527. The Texoma Council of Governments is a voluntary association of the local gov ernments in Cooke, Fannin, and Grayson counties. Es tablished in 1968, Texoma Council of Governments promotes economy and ef ficiency in the coordinated planning and development of the tri-county region through its community and economic development activities. Both directly and through contrac tors, the Council provides housing, utility assistance, and weatherization services for low-income citizens in the region and assists the elderly through a variety of Area Agency on Aging programs. The Council also facilitates the delivery of grant funding for homeland security and criminal justice.
SHERMAN, AUGUST 24, 2022 - Officials at Texoma Council of Governments (TCOG) have announced an appointment-only Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection event for Saturday, October 1, 2022 that will take place at the Fannin County Multipurpose Complex in Bonham. Collection will be gin at 9:00 am and end at 1:00 pm.
“Despite the lack of a per manent, year-round acces sible HHW collection facil ity, TCOG - as the recipient of grant funds from the Texas Commission on Environmen tal Quality (TCEQ) and SEP penalty monies from a TCEQ enforcement action - is proud to be able to offer periodic collection events at various locations across the Texoma Region,” said Eric Bridges, TCOG’s Executive Direc tor. “These events have played a key role in ensur ing leftover or used house hold products are properly disposed of.”

“Hunters will likely see larger concentrations of birds at watering holes and food sources than they have in the past due to limited resources. Agriculture production has been hit hard by drought so birds may be more reliant on native foods this September.

Texoma EXCELLENT. Water stained; 88 degrees; 1.78 feet below. Striped bass are good, chasing schools in 30-70 feet of water with slabs and live bait. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors. Striped fishing is excellent in 25-35 feet of water using live shad. Crappie are fair on min nows and jigs in 10-15 feet of water in the mouths of creeks and main lake structure. Eater sized channel and blue catfish are excellent on cut shad and punch bait in 40-50 feet of wa ter on main lake ledges. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are slow off the banks in 10-15 feet of water on rock piles and structure with swimbaits and soft plastic baits.
Tawakoni GOOD. Water lightly stained; 90 degrees; 3.68 feet low. Overall fishing has slowed due to the low oxygen levels and warmer water. Despite this white bass and striped bass are really good in 9-15 feet of water. These fish are not sitting still, so trolling is putting more fish in the boat cur rently. Channel catfish bite is red hot and excellent. Catching limits easily by 10 A.M. using punch bait and dip bait fished over baited holes in 25-30 feet of water. Crappie bite is sur prisingly good with minnows out fishing jigs. Changing loca tions frequently to get a nice box of fish. Largemouth bass bite is slow.

AUSTIN – Texans are used to scorching summers, but this year’s record highs across much of the state have left many dove hunters wondering about the upcoming season opener.“Unless conditions change drastically over the next few weeks, hunting near water will be key for opening day this year,” said Owen Fitzsimmons, TPWD Dove Program Leader.
“Our spring surveys indicated a decrease in breeding abundance, which is a carryover from poor hatch-year production last year,” added Fitzsimmons. “However, doves kick reproduction into high gear in dry years like this, and we’re seeing a lot of young birds this summer, based on our banding efforts.”
Cooper FAIR. Water lightly stained; 88 degrees. Fishing should improve after the cold front, but will definitely im prove the temperature for cooler fishing. Catfish are good with juglines. White bass and hybrids are fair with large spoons. Crappie are slow on main lake brush piles and standing timber with jigs and minnows. Bass are fair along grass ledges and standing timber with crankbaits.
The Special White-Winged Dove Days will be Sept. 2-4 andDuring9-11.the regular season in the South Zone, the aggregate bag limit is 15 with no more than two white-tipped doves. During the Special White-winged Dove Days in the South Zone, hunting is allowed only from noon to sunset and the daily bag limit is 15 birds, to include not more than two mourning doves and two white-tipped doves.

Lavon GOOD. Water lightly stained; 85 degrees; 4.26 feet low. Summertime fishing patterns are holding steady. Crappie are good in 5-10 feet of water early in the morning, transition ing to 9 -17 feet of water in timber and brush with minnows and jigs. White bass are good with a sporadic topwater bite throughout the day in the middle of the lake, and in 15-25 feet of water on main lake points and humps. White or chartreuse slabs for deeper water and swimbaits in shallow water. A ther mocline has settled in, so be on the lookout at about 7:30 A.M. in the middle of the lake for topwater action. Black bass are fair on spooks along riprap during the first hours of sunlight. Bluegills are great, holding to 10-20 feet of water on brush piles using earthworms, crickets or pieces of bacon as it will not fall off the hook as easily.
Conditions Heating up for Dove Season
TPWD officials remind hunters to prepare for the extreme heat and make sure they are packing all the essentials for a day in the field. They should bring plenty of water to stay hydrated and take measures to stay cool in a shaded area. The same is true for canine hunting partners. “If this extreme heat persists, think twice about bringing your dog out in the early season,” said Fitzsimmons. “Temperatures this high can be dangerous for dogs, particularly when they’re excited and running hard after birds. If you do bring them, try to limit the hunts to early mornings or late evenings.”

Cecil was called into the ministry in 1987 under the leadership of the late L. S. Wilson. While evangelizing in 1990, Rev. Jones was called to Pastor Little Bethel Baptist Church where he pastored for 26 years. Although Pastor Jones gave all of himself to his church, his community and any organization, board or council he sat on, God was always first. Rev. Jones holds a Doctorate in Theology, a Bachelors degree in Administration, an A.A.S. degree in education, and was a licensed minister. Rev. and First Lady Jones enjoyed extensive travel where they met dignitaries, legislators, and congressmen. Rev. Jones organized the Bethlehem Globetrotters who traveled each year to a historical destination. Of all things Rev. Jones loved, church and talking about Jesus and His goodness were first. He encouraged others to have a personal relationship with God. After 53 years of marriage, his beloved Bonne was called home (2015).

The day the pot and pan campaign for aluminum was launched for WWII (July 12, 1940) was the day God released an angel to earth named Cecil Ray Jones. He was born to Jennella Henson and James Louis Jones. Though there were no silver spoons involved in his upbringing, he received so much more; he received golden values and God-fearing beliefs that would carry him throughout his life. His reverence and admiration of God led him to Christ at 9 years of age. He served as a junior deacon at Bethlehem. He helped pull nails and rolled Bois d’Arc posts that held the structure that stands today. After graduating from Booker T. Washington High School in Bonham, where he was a quarterback, he went to Prairie View University. He realized the strain it placed on his family to continue so he joined the US Air Force. While stationed at Richards-Gebaur AFB in Kansas City, MO, he met the love of his life, Bonne Marshall; they soon wed and the legacy begins. To their union were born: Juan Marshall, Pamela Winona and Kimberly Ray, The Jones Family. As a father he always wanted his children to be knowledgeable of the world, so by the time all of the children were 18 years old, the Jones Family had travelled to nearly all of the United States.
His health took a turn in 2020. Even as his health was declining, he professed Jesus to anyone that would listen. His heart weakened and Rev. Jones was called to rest Aug. 20, 2022 but not without leaving words of wisdom, to keep the faith and God is everything. He said he loved all of us and assured us he was good with God and was going Home. Rev. Jones loved Bonham and Ladonia, playing dominoes, watching the San Francisco 49ers and L. A. Lakers and his whole entire family. Most of all, he loved God.

At sunrise on Saturday morning, August 20, 2022, our matriarch, Nina Lou Vansickle Marshall Garrett, peacefully passed away while surrounded by loved ones. We rejoice that she is in Heaven with her beloved Savior whose praises she joyfully sang all of her life. This Oklahoma original was born at home on October 8, 1926, near Antlers, Oklahoma, and was the only daughter of Major Jim and Emily Wolfe Vansickle and had four brothers who loved to tease her. Most of her childhood was spent in Oklahoma, but the family moved to Arizona during the dust bowl days. What they lacked in material possessions was offset by strong faith, family love, and fierce determination. They also knew what it was to do without. In 1938, they moved back to their beloved Oklahoma, settling at Lake West. Nina graduated from Boswell High School as the class salutatorian and after graduation worked at Douglas Aircraft Plant building airplanes. On December 19, 1945, Nina married William Marshall after he was discharged from the Army at the end of World War II. They lived in Bonham, TX and raised four daughters: Linda, Joy, Mary Ann, and Billie Gail, with each one being her favorite. William and Nina were members of Boyd Baptist Church where Nina sang in the choir, taught a Sunday School class, and was active in the church activities. For 26 years Nina was the office nurse for Dr. Walter Sisk. When she and William retired in 1988, they were able to travel and enjoy their grandchildren before his death in 1992 while they were on a trip to France to visit the battlefields where William had been a soldier so many years before. After William died, Nina was married to Theo Garrett until his death in 2004. Her life was devoted to being a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother while also enjoying her passion for reading, writing, genealogy, and singing. Nina was one of the great ladies of that bygone era, a partaker in the greatest generation known for their strength, determination, sacrifice, and patriotism, and as such, was a woman of immense pride who could do anything she set her mind to do. She was an expert at canning and freezing garden vegetables, sewing, and an amazing cook. While attending Telling Our Stories classes at Austin College she won a contest with her story about coping with hard times, wrote many other stories and an autobiography to share her memories with her family. Even as dementia stole her memory, she could still remember the words to the great old hymns she grew up with and never lost her sweet disposition, sense of humor, or the love for her family and friends.Ninawas preceded in death by husbands, William Franklin Marshall and Theo Olen Garrett; her parents, Major and Emily Vansickle; brothers, J. T. Vansickle, Max Vansickle, Julius Vansickle, and Major Johnson Vansickle; and sons-in-law, Preston Anderson and Joe Reiner. As Mom she is loved by Linda and Larry Scott of Sherman, TX, Joy Reiner of San Antonio, TX, Mary Ann and Terry Cody of Bonham, TX, and Billie Gail and Charles Ratcliff of Greenville, TX. As MamMaw she is adored by grandchildren, Lori and Robb McWilliams of Dallas, TX, Dr. Jim Reiner and Paula Levy J.D. of Palo Alto, CA, Jerald Reiner of San Antonio, TX, Dr. Kyle Anderson and Dr. Carrie Cearley of Lubbock, TX, Dr. Kelly Anderson of Kemah, TX, Joshua and Crystal Ratcliff of Greenville, TX, Daniel and Kayla Ratcliff of Fate, TX, Adam Ratcliff of Greenville, TX, Elias and Shannon Ratcliff of Aubrey, TX; great grandchildren, Isaac and Aaron Reiner, Aidan, Avery, and Andrew Reiner, Abigail, Amelia, William, and Winston Anderson, Kaden and Makayla James, Christopher Strickland, Elizabeth and Isabelle Ratcliff, Brooklyn and Charlotte Ratcliff, and Lucy and Henry Ratcliff. To name the rest of her surviving relatives would be tedious and expensive, but there are a bunch of them and they all loved Nina. She is also survived by a large contingent of devoted friends from all walks of life. Nina summed it up best in one of her writings when she wrote: “I have expressed how wonderful my life has been: to be born, to live through childhood and experience all of the periods of marriage, motherhood, grandparent and now being a widow, which from the beginning is God’s plan, and seems to me to be miraculous. I remember often what my father when he was quite old said about how proud he was of all his children and grandchildren. It must be so with most everyone in our universe and so it is with me.”
The family celebrated her life on Saturday, August 27, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. at the First Baptist Church in Bonham, Texas. The family received friends from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. prior to the service. A private burial followed the service at Willow Wild Cemetery. The family considers flowers an honorable tribute as are donations. We suggest donations to the Music Ministry at the First Baptist Church, 710 North Center Street, Bonham, TX 75418 or the Willow Wild Cemetery, P. O. Box 159, Bonham, TX 75418. God has her in His arms; we have her in our hearts.

We had a wonderful service in God’s house Sunday morning!Jesustells us in John 15:16, “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” Again I am reminded of the great commission given to us in Matthew chapter 28. We are to sow the seed of the gospel wherever and whenever we can. Some may willingly accept it, some may not. If we sow the seed, our efforts will not go in vain. As I have said before, why anyone would not want to accept the message of the gospel is beyond me. I hope you have accepted this message, but if you don’t know the Lord as your Savior, I pray that you accept Him, and claim the gift of salvation, before it’s eternally too late. That being said, my hymn reference this week was written by Knowles Shaw in the mid 1800’s. “I am the vine, and ye are the branches, Bear precious fruit for Jesus to-day; The branch that in me no fruit ever beareth, Jesus hath said, “He taketh away.” Now ye are clean, thro’ words I have spoken, Abiding in me, much fruit ye shall bear; “Dwelling in thee, my promise unbroken, Glory in heaven with me ye shall share.” “I am the vine, and ye are the branches,

Denison, Texas - Grayson Col lege Adult Education and Literacy welcomes high school equivalency seekers, English language learners and those seeking to refresh their skills in math and reading to reg ister without an appointment for free classes on Wednesday, August 31 or Wednesday, September 7 from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm. Those interested can simply walk into the Advanced Technology building on Grayson College’s main campus in Denison to enroll. Registration can be completed in most languages with Spanish-speaking staff im mediately available to assist reg istrants.Registering students should bring a government issued ID.

Due to the assessments required for class placement, it can take up to several hours to complete the registration process. Classes are currently be ing offered in-person and online, and there are a variety of class times available. “A high school diploma and strong English language skills are critically important for entry into higher education and in turn eco nomic prosperity. By 2030, at least 60 percent of the jobs in Texas will require some level of higher education according to data from the Texas Higher Education Coor dinating Board,” explained Adult Education and Literacy Director AshleyWorkers’Trevino.earnings are directly tied to educational attainment and have a strong correlation to quality of life. The U.S. Depart ment of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that those with a high school diploma earn an aver age of $600 more per month than those who haven’t completed high school. Over a lifetime, that earn ings gap expands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. As reported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Center on Society and Health, higher levels of educa tion lead to higher levels of home ownership, health insurance cov erage, family literacy, physical ac tivity and better nutrition. Higher community education levels are also linked to lower crime rates and lower rates of pollution.
OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTESTED CASE HEARING. After the deadline for public comments, the executive director will consider the comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. The response to comments, along with the executive director’s decision on the application, will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments or who requested to be on a mailing list for this application.

Thursday, August 25, 2022, the Lyday Hall at the Honey Grove Library and Learning Center at 500 N. 6th Street in Honey Grove, Texas, was once again filled to capacity as Fannin County citizens came from near and far to be informed of the progress being made by the Lake Ralph Hall Zoning Commission and the Project Team from Freese and Nichols, Project Manager Daniel Harrison and Project Planner Connor Roberts, on reaching a completed Lake Ralph Hall Comprehensive Plan. Upon entering the hall, visitors were met with an array of various informational printouts displayed on a table with enough copies for any who cared to have one. In the back of the room were several informational boards on easels with maps and other pertinent information. It was clear that steps to provide adequate information, had been taken for this meeting. Chair of the Lake Ralph Hall Zoning Commission, Fannin County Commissioner Jerry Magness, opened the meeting at 5:30 p.m. and stated quorum was established as all Zoning Commission members were present. He then noted time was being provided for the public to view the information on the boards in the back of the room and that Daniel Harrison and Connor Roberts would be available by those boards to personally answer questions that might be concerning to anyone. The early efforts to provide ample information and address concerns paid off as the demeanor of attendees was significantly less anxious than what it had been during the previous meeting that was held earlier in the summer. After spending time answering individual concerns, Mr. Harrison began his presentation of the Draft Plan. Detailing what had happened since the kickoff in the Summer of 2021 in the various meetings, he went over the five chapters of the plan, Chapter 1: Baseline Analysis; Chapter 2: Vision & Issue Identification; Chapter 3: Future Land Use,
ChapterTransportation;4: Water Quality & Infrastructure and Chapter Implementation5: Plan. He explained how the plan shows what the lake will be in the next 20 to 30 years and how it will be used for planning zoning regulations subdivisionsand platting. He noted how the plan is just the first of two phases with the second phase dealing with creating the zoning regulations. After explaining the contents of the chapters, Mr. Harrison then went over the nine edits made to the first draft of the plan in response to input from the public. At the conclusion of his review of the Draft Plan and the recent edits, Mr. Harrison and Commissioner Magness encouraged the public to visit the website of ofralphhall/homefreese.mysocialpinpoint.com/https://whereacopytheplancanbeviewedand/ or downloaded by any wishing to read it in its entirety. Next on the meeting agenda was the Lake Zoning Commission Discussion which was led by comments from Fannin County Judge Elect Newt Cunningham who called attention to pages 21, 16 and 55 of the plan with questions touching on the property owned by Upper Trinity Water District (a total of 6,006 acres) and what the vision for the lake is. Included in his comments/ questions was why Freese & Nichols show shoreline property outside of the 500year flood plain, a request for clarification on what “Riparian property” means and if the maps are correct in showing that Upper Trinity owns 100% of the shoreline. Commission member, Ladonia Mayor Jan Cooper commented briefly on future recommendations that can be made regarding the Future Land Usage Plan. Immediately following Ms. Cooper, Commission member Jaylen Wallace expounded on how he believes this plan is representative of best efforts to put into the plan what the county wanted put in place and though the plan may not be perfect, “as long as Upper Trinity holds up to their end of the bargain, we can have an effective zoning plan.” He then asked if an existing landowner has land that will be zoned commercial but is not commercial now, if that person wanted to build a home on that property would that have to be approved by the Commissioners Court after zoning is in place or would it be grandfathered in for the use that they want it to be? Following his comments and questions, Commission member John Ed Shinpaugh discussed his concerns regarding a public access strip designated on one of the usage maps that was near to private land parcels as well as an issue he had with commercial designations being very near to where a church and cemetery is located. Mr. Harrison responded by noting that both issues could be corrected with adjustments on the map. After making comments regarding zoning and property lines, Commissioner Magness then opened the public hearing portion of the meeting and invited those attendees who wanted to speak to first sign up before coming to the podium to voice their thoughts and concerns. Approximately eleven Fannin County citizens signed up to speak on topics ranging from why it is taking so long for a Shoreline Management Plan to be drawn up by Upper Trinity; to lot sizes and why there are ½ acre lots showing on the plan given a full acre is required by the county for septic systems; to dissatisfaction with the vision statement having the “peaceful” adjective removed; to the projected location of a boat ramp being changed; to when the plan will be implanted and how often will the Planning and Zoning meetings be held; to aboutquestionspublic access sites; concerns about the location zonescommercialofanda request for explanationmoreonthemaps and what land is owned by Upper Trinity. After most of the citizens wanting to speak had spoken with most of the questions fielded by Daniel Harrison, Manager of Property Services with Upper Trinity Water District, Doug Janeway spoke to address the question of land purchased by Upper Trinity and the most frequently voiced concern of the Shoreline Management Plan. He explained how they are working on the SMP as fast as they can but wanted to let the public know how certain things need to be in place before it can be created. He then spoke about a plan to help the three water districts of McCraw Chapel WSC Water CCN, Dial WSC Water CCN and Ladonia Water & Wastewater CCN with their water needs. However, after Mr. Janeway finished speaking, a citizen who had previously voiced concerns, returned to the podium to relay his account of a disappointing conversation he and two others had had with Mr. Patterson of Upper Trinity regarding the amount of help Ladonia could expect from Upper Trinity with their water needs. After Commissioner Magness confirmed that there were no other speakers, Newt Cunningham made the motion that the commission recommend the Plan to the Commissioners Court with the proviso that it can be modified in the future. The motion was seconded by Jaylen Wallace and passed unanimously. After commenting on how the efforts of the commission is to do what is best for the county, Commissioner Magness called for an adjournment motion at 7:47 p.m. Ralph

By Rich LADONIAHilliard -- Class 1A Ector made school history on Aug. 19 -recording its first win in volleyball. The varsity Lady Eagles won at 1A Fannindel, 25-13, 26-24, 25-15, in non-district play. The 2022 season equates Ector’s first to field volleyball teams -- middle school and high school -- in the sport. The Lady Eagles began having volleyball as a sports option during the previous fall semester, with ju nior high practices. In October, Ector will vie with Dodd City and Savoy in District 19-1A.
Former Bonham Pur ple Warrior Colton De voll appears again this season on the Austin College football roster. Devoll, a 2020 Bon ham graduate, will wear No. 14 and is listed as a 6-4, 175 wide receiver for the ‘Roos, who will open their regular sea son on Sept. 3 at Hen drix College. In late 2021, the Aus tin College team voted him as the Offensive Scout Player of the Year -- his third season to be listed on the Austin College football roster. Statistics from last fall also listed him as being involved in four games. In 2019, as a senior, he was listed on Bonham’s football roster on Max preps.com as a wide receiver and outside linebacker.
