This can be problematic, given the fact that a pecan tree acts as a magnet for squir rels for miles around. Yet this problem is not without its remedies. One of the most common solutions is to loose ly wrap several feet worth of metal sheeting around the trunk of a tree. Squirrels, though adept at scaling the thin bark of a tree, prove un able to climb such a slick ma terial. This is an easy fix, and a relatively inexpensive one. But it fails to succeed in all situations.Oftentimes, if a squirrel can not climb the base of a tree, it will jump to its desired tree from either another tree or a manmade structure. In this case, a pecan tree must be pruned several feet back from any nearby scalable edifice. There are also commercially available traps, both lethal and nonlethal, that can be strapped to either branches or roofs.

Great things are happening for Open Arms Shelter. Community support and generous donors have made it possible for the shelter to better serve the homeless of Fannin County. The two small family rooms in the shelter were remodeled with a connecting door between them. Now a larger family will be able to be together instead of in two separate rooms. Thanks to Joel Nash Construction for donating the labor, contractor’s fee, and some of the supplies. Nash Construction also installed shelving in the family rooms and in the storage shed.

When I was thinking of hymns about faith, this is the first one that came to my mind. Many great hymn writers have written hymns on faith, such as John Henry Yates, who wrote “Faith is the Victory,” and James Wells & R.E. Winslett, who wrote “Living By Faith,” just to name a few. This one was written by Frederick William Faber in 1849.

Oakwood Cemetery is 176 years old from the first recorded burial. This is hard to believe. Oakwood is a beautiful landmark for Honey Grove with a lot of history. The website for Oakwood is a treasure for anyone interested in the people buried there.
Keeping Oakwood a peaceful place to visit is expensive. The mowing, taking care of the trees and roads takes an enormous amount of money even with all the volunteer work. Always remember that if you own a lot or have someone buried at Oakwood it is an expense for the mowing of your lot. Mowing is not free.

This 16’x24’ fully insulated building was completed in May 2022. The building was needed for storage as our cemetery will be expanding in the coming future. Labor, material and monetary donations were made to help make this building project possible. The jobs of drainage and landscaping were done. Gutters were installed on the building, a trench dug and 6 inch drain placed at the driveway, the driveway was covered with river rock. On the east side, blocks and mulch were used to stop washing with three old pillars from the cemetery incorporated in the border. All labor and material except for the rock was donated on the outside of the building. A lot of work went into this project that has made a beautiful addition to Oakwood Cemetery.

Shirley loved gardening, quilting, crocheting, and reading. She was also very adventurous and traveled to many places in the world, including Canada, Europe, Central America, and Australia to name a few. Whether it was visiting Castle Braun (aka, Dracula’s castle in the Carpathian Mountains of central Romania), to jumping off 60 foot high cliffs down to the water at an Arkansas lake, she knew no boundaries. In her forties she learned to snow ski and traveled with her husband and other family members to numerous ski areas in New Mexico, Colorado and beyond. In her sixties, she learned to fly, earning her pilot’s license and flying across the country to national events in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and Lakeland, Florida. She loved to fly her Cessna 150 all around and taught many others to fly from the runway built in the pasture behind her home. She made lifelong friends in the flying community.

Sherry spent almost 22 years looking through the windshield of an 18-wheeler, as a long-haul truck driver for U.S. Xpress, with 16 of those years spent having her beloved weenie dog, Blue, in the passenger seat. Sherry never missed a beat, up and down snowy mountain, anywhere and everywhere in the U.S., jamming out to Dwight Yoakam and Kid Rock. Sherry was known as “Blue Grandma” by her grandbabies because of that hateful little dog that loved her so much. When Sherry was home off the road, she spoiled all the kids often, and made sure they had no needs unmet. She always had a fresh set of nails before hitting the road again. Sherry was a tough lady who experienced things that would break most folks, but she smiled through, and she never complained. She took pride in giving the best she could, to her daughter, and was forever supportive of her. Sherry was the coolest truckin’ momma around, and always had something feisty and funny to say. She loved blue butterflies, yellow roses, Christy’s homemade cheesecakes, and puppy dogs. She was a momma, a Blue Grandma; sweet, and the most selfless human being that ever existed, and she will be extremely missed, and though of often.
Shirley is survived by three of her children: daughter Chris Swain and husband Garry of Mesquite, Texas; son Scott Epley and wife Carolyn of The Hills, Texas; and son James Epley and wife Karen of Fredericksburg, Virginia; ten grandchildren and ten great grandchildren.
Clinnon had an outstanding feature that anyone could pick him out of a crowd…his smile, a most infectious smile that he will forever be remembered. He was affectionately known by students as the professor who smiles. One of Clinnon’s many talents was an exercise of his brilliant mind. He could calculate math problems in his head without the aid of paper, pencil or a calculator. When people commented on his brilliance, he would chuckle and in his famous words he’d say, “I’ll say”. When asked what advice will you give to your colleagues, he responded “Stay true to the mission, and help our students as much as you canthey are our future!”

He was a longtime member of St. Dunstan’s Episcopal Church in Houston, Texas.While attending Booker T. Washington High School in Bonham, he was a star athlete in basketball and football. Upon receiving his high school diploma, Clinnon attended Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU), where he earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics, Class of 66; and Master’s Degree in Mathematics, Class of 69. He received his Ed.D in Curriculum & Instruction, with an emphasis in Math Education at University of Houston, Class of 74. He valued education and working to help others. In the words of Clinnon, “When I first stepped foot on Prairie View’s campus, coming from Bonham, Texas, I was just a little old country boy! Dr. A.D. Stewart, who was head of the Mathematics Department at the time, took me under his wing, and I got my bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Then, I went to work at NASA as a computer analyst, while obtaining my doctorate from the University of Houston. In the end, I came back to PVAMU because it just seemed like the place I should

Now is the time to apply preemergent to lawns to control annual bluegrass, rescue grass and ryegrass, crabgrass, henbit, spurge, chickweed, dandelion and more. Water after applica tion. Avoid using weed and feed products. It is better to apply the pre-emergent at the appropri ate time to prevent weeds from sprouting in the first place.
This program will also pro vide 2 CEU’s (General CEU’s) to those with a pesticide appli cator license.
In the garden- Plant bush beans through mid-month. Plant vari eties that have “days to harvest” of around 60 days. Plant broc coli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and collard transplants until end of October.
In the yard- Fall is a great time to plant shrubs and trees. Plants have time to establish a strong root system before the sum mer’s hot, dry weather. Plant turf grass up through the middle of the month. Keep the soil con sistently moist for the first few weeks. For a green lawn all win ter, plant “perennial” rye which has a finer texture and easier to maintained than annual rye.
Check patio plants in contain ers that will come in for winter for scale, mealybugs, and spi der mites. Control these pests before bringing them in for the winter. Submerge the pot in water a few minutes to get rid of any fire ants that may have taken up residence in the pot.

Gardening Tips:
been challenging. Homeowners have had to make tough deci sions about water use in the lawn and garden. Starting and maintaining a fall vegetable garden during drought condi tions requires liberal use of wa ter and, even possibly the use of shade cloths or other sun pro tection for seedlings and young transplants. Soaker hoses and drip irrigation beneath 2-3” of mulch provide water directly to the plants and the mulch helps reduce moisture loss from the soil. Water lawns in the early morning or in the evening. Water deeply and thoroughly and less frequently. This forces plants to send their roots deep and flushes accumulated salts down below where most roots develop.
lettuce, beets, and spinach in doors for transplant outdoors. Try soaking spinach seeds for 24 hours before planting in pots.
