Mule takes top checks, prizes in cutting competitions

By Gregori Starrett Guest Contributor

S

tanding at 13.1 hands high, 5-year old Miss Lucy the mule is taking prize purses and top checks in cutting horse competitions. Miss Lucy is a “freak of nature,” according to her owner Tommy Francois.

Francois, 76, of Canton has been training and showing Miss Lucy with his wife Ruby throughout the state and beyond.

“This mule is a freak of nature. I’ve never started a horse that learned as quick as this mule. A mule is not supposed to have the cow sense that Miss Lucy has or the ability to read a cow like she does.

Normally it would take a cutting horse 14 to 16 months to get to where she’s at.”

Francois added that Miss Lucy has been training for only four months and she is winning competitions and the hearts of spectators.

Housed in the vaults of Van Zandt County lie numerous record books containing meeting minutes from the 1800s. The records are meticulously handwritten and full of valuable history of Van Zandt County, but are deteriorating fast, according to District Clerk Karen Wilson.

Wilson came to the commissioners court meeting Sept. 13 asking for approval for a written plan for funding the preservation and restoration of clerk’s record archive. Wilson said that the plan would continue to allow an archive fee to be charged in all civil cases and motions

Walking With Bob

Cross country is brisk walking It is fall and that means football. Bands practicing, mum buying, homecoming parades and Friday night in east Texas.

Let’s talk about the Saturday morning after. I mean getting up about 4 am. Then on a school bus full of kids in running suits, getting off in a field where there are rolling hills, grass, dew and country smells. There are over 700 half-awake junior and senior high school students putting up tents, decorated with their school colors and sports hoopla. There are a bunch of parents and relatives also here looking for a cup of coffee to go with their morning burger doodle breakfast on a bun. This is an East Texas Cross Country Meet.

A typical course is between 2 and 7 miles long on farmland and sometimes on roads. Canton is the Walking Capital of Texas and this course is fantabulous.

The boys distance is a bit longer than the girls, and the junior high setup is a 3 bit shorter than the senior high. There Columnin are medals for the fastest runners each group and there are trophies for the top teams.

I have watched the Canton bunch of seniors since they started back in junior high. I was there to watch this great crew grow up. Four or five of the girls were up for homecoming queen. When they were in junior high, they believed they were better than the seniors. This present junior high bunch now believes they are better. All the coaches and the volunteers who dedicate their time and unbelievable talent to working yearlong with these 700 student athletes.

I write about health and wellness.

Here is what I saw on that Saturday morning; before each group started they all went out about 20 feet from

the start and heard the rules, stepped back, a horn blew and the races began.

They were led by a four-wheeler. At major turns, volunteers and markers made the course ahead clear. A large crowd cheered as the runners crossed the finish line, using their last batch of energy.

What happened next caught my attention. Every one of those runners started drinking a bottle of water. Water was being passed out by teammates, competitors, coaches, parents and strangers.

Animal blessing set for Oct. 1

Canton Main Street to hold drawing

The Van Zandt County Humane Society is hosting the annual Blessing of the Animals Oct. 1 at St. Justin the Martyr Episcopal Church in Canton.

The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m.

“We have such a good time doing this, and we hope everyone will bring their chickens, ducks, horses, rabbits, dogs, cats, and yes, even rodents, to be blessed,” said Carol Whatley, president of the VZCHS. “Of course, we would appreciate their all being on leashes or in cages. Even if you are not of the faith, I believe we could all use a little blessing from time to time. We will have treats for them and a chance to win a St. Francis statue for your garden.

Everyone is welcome.”

St. Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of all animals, and this is a free event to celebrate your animal friends in his honor.

St. Justin Episcopal Church is located on Hwy. 243, just west of Hwy. 19.

The generous donations of a Yeti Hooper 20 cooler from Texas Bank and Trust and a Bison cooler from Higginbotham Brothers Ace Hardware will help the Canton Main Street organization to raise funds for downtown improvements.

Ticket holders can win one of the coolers during a drawing to be held during the 16th annual Canton Main Street Autumn Festival Oct. 8. The coolers can be seen at the Main Street office in the old Plaza Theater Building at 119 N. Buffalo in Canton.

Tickets can be purchased from any Canton Main Street board member or at the Old Plaza Theater Building and are $5 each or five tickets for $20. Tickets can also be purchased at the Autumn Festival until the 8 p.m. drawing. Winners do not need to be present to win.

For more information on the Autumn Festival or the Canton Main Street Program, call 903-567-1849 or visit the office in the old Plaza Theater Building at 119 N. Buffalo.

VZC Genealogy Society to hold workshop The Van Zandt County Genealogical Society will present a genealogy workshop for the Root Seekers Genealogy Society at the Cedar Creek Lake Library from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 16.

Registration fee is $20 for those who preregister and $25 at the door.

A syllabus is included in the

medically obese.

The health industry says that 70 percent of our US population is overweight or obese and over 30 percent is medically obese.

The cross country teams drink lots of water, eat a bunch of food and some of it is fresh or fast frozen fruit and veggies and nuts. These teenagers exercise a lot and are consistent and focused. They don’t sleep enough. Someday they will get more sleep.

These remarkable teenagers are an inspiration. Thank you, coaches and volunteers for all that you do.

Comptroller announces $270 million in property returns The Texas Comptroller’s office returned a record $270 million in unclaimed property to rightful owners during the past fiscal year, said Comptroller Glenn Hegar Sept. 15. This breaks the previous record of $248 million returned in fiscal 2015.

“This record is a tremendous achievement and a testament to our award-winning efforts to return more money to more Texans,” Hegar said. “It highlights our ongoing commitment to reuniting unclaimed property with rightful owners. I encourage all Texans to visit ClaimItTexas.org to see if the state is holding some of their unclaimed property.”

The Comptroller’s office has returned more than $2 billion to its owners since Texas’ unclaimed property program began in 1962.

In fiscal 2016 — Sept. 1, 2015, through Aug. 31, 2016 — the Comptroller’s office received more than 300,000 claims.

The $270 million in unclaimed property for fiscal 2016 includes forgotten utility deposits or other refunds, insurance proceeds, payroll checks, cashier’s checks, dividends, mineral royalties, dormant bank accounts and abandoned safety deposit box contents. Businesses turn property over to the unclaimed property program after it has been dormant from one to five years, generally.

There is no statute of limitations for unclaimed property the state is holding, which means there is no time limit for owners to file a claim — they can do so at any time.

For more information about the unclaimed property program, or to search for unclaimed property and begin the claims process, visit the Comptroller’s unclaimed property website, ClaimItTexas.org, or call 1-800-654-FIND (3463).

Opinion & Commentary

First In, Last Out Masons to hold recognition banquet Nov. 12

By Mac Walling, Ph.D. Guest Contributor

“First In, Last Out.” What exactly does that mean? Several weeks ago marked the 15th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001. And it brought to mind so many memories and thoughts about our first responders and I wanted to share a few thoughts.

On 09/11/2001, it meant that law enforcement officers, paramedics and firefighters were the first responders to arrive at a horrible tragedy in lower Manhattan. Many of them never left.

As usual, I was driving to work when the first news came over the car radio. It quickly became clear this would not be a routine day.

The reports were sketchy, “A plane had crashed into the twin towers in New York…” By the time I reached Sulphur Springs, the reports were more definite. The psychology class I taught at Paris Junior College began to fill up with anxious students in shock and denial. As they straggled to their seats, there were far more questions than I had answers. These young people felt horrified that our country had been attacked in such a heinous manner. All were filled with compassion for the injured and their families. There was a sense of resolve that our armed forces and first responders would rise to the challenge.

It must have begun as a typical day in New York, as well. Businesses opened, families kissed loved ones off to work, and hundreds of first responders left home…as usual. Over three hundred of New York’s finest answered their last call that morning, hundreds more were injured, and countless first responders and their survivors continue to carry the scars of that tragic day.

Many of us watching TV and reading this newspaper watched the events unfold in real time. Most of us watched the recorded video and saw the photographs

again and again. It has now been fifteen years. Let us never forget their courage and sacrifice. Let us never forget that our Van Zandt County first responders are equally prepared to rise to the same kind of challenge.

Let us, the citizens of Van Zandt County, step forward and demonstrate how much we care.

Canton Castillian Lodge No. 141, A.F. & A.M. with the other Masonic Lodges of Van Zandt County will sponsor a recognition and awards banquet on Saturday, Nov. 12. Doors will open at the Canton Civic Center at 6 p.m. and dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m. Local recording artists and 50’s and 60’s band, Buddy and the Flashbacks have volunteered to provide the musical entertainment before and during the meal and after the awards presentation and recognition. Canton Masonic Lodge Steward David Darnell will prepare a BBQ with all the fixings.

Tickets are $40 each or a table for eight people for $320. Each purchased ticket will provide a meal for a first responder and their guest. All retired first responders and first responders who live in Van Zandt County (but work elsewhere), will also receive free tickets.

Each first responder will receive a specially minted “Challenge Coin” to remind them of their community’s love and respect. Everyone who attends will receive a T-Shirt with 30 Sponsor spots on the back. A few spots are left and may be purchased to show your support for $150 each.

Please contact Canton Masonic Lodge Senior Deacon, Joshua Wintters, to purchase tickets or to become a sponsor. Thank you to everyone in Van Zandt County for stepping up and honoring our first responders. For more information please call 903-526-2922.

To learn more about Freemasonry in Texas and how you could be involved in this type of service to our community, all are welcome to Castillian Lodge’s Open House from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 23. Refreshments will be served and there will be many interesting exhibits and historical artifacts.

Standardize your ammo Choose same calibers, gauge

By Kerry Cartier, the Disaster Guy

I’ve read numerous articles and listened to many arguments about which caliber is best, which ammo is best, etc., etc. Few subjects in a man’s life provoke such diverging viewpoints. I won’t attempt to suggest which make of firearm is best, which caliber is best, which ammo is best, or what firearm is best for any particular use.

Mel Tappan wrote about guns for True Magazine years ago and proposed that people who own guns should standardize their ammo. Both Tappan and Massad Ayoub, whom I’d call a gun expert, suggest that four firearms are needed: a hunting rifle, a shotgun, a handgun, and a .22 rifle, not necessarily in that order.

Tappan says all your hunting rifles should be the same caliber. Choose one caliber, .223, .243, .308 Winchester, .30-06, etc.

Only choose one caliber, and only have rifles in that one caliber. That way, you can’t load any rifle with the wrong ammo. The caliber you choose should be readily available, like .223 or .308 Winchester, instead of something like 6.5 Creedmoor. If all your hunting rifles are the same caliber, the same ammo will fit any of your rifles.

Tappan suggested that if you own shotguns,

standardize their ammo.

Choose one gauge, .410, 20 gauge, 16 gauge, or 12 gauge. Buy shotgun shells only in that gauge and length, and only have shotguns of that gauge that can shoot that shotgun shell length. A shotgun chamber 3-1/4 inches long will shoot shotgun shells that length and smaller.

A shotgun chamber 2-3/4 inches long cannot shoot 3-1/4 inch shells.

With handguns, you may choose revolvers or pistols. You may want to choose one or the other, and stock ammo for that choice.

Choose one caliber. For semiautomatic pistols, 380, 9mm Parabellum, or .40 caliber, etc. For revolvers, .45 ACP, .357 Magnum, .38 Special, .32, etc. (.38 Special can be shot in a .357 Magnum, but the reverse is not true.

Tappan would suggest that whatever caliber you chose, buy all your handguns in that caliber.

I’d add that if you bought high-powered ammo like +P rounds, be sure all your handguns could shoot it safely.

We haven’t covered the most popular firearm, the .22 rifle. This is the kind of rifle you’d get for a boy. Tappan suggested a .22 rifle would be the best meat-getter. If it will shoot .22 Long Rifle, it will also

shoot .22 Longs and .22 Shorts. The reverse is not true. There are subsonic .22 rounds that pop instead of banging when you shoot.

If you have a few guns, the idea of standardizing your ammo will work for you immediately. One advantage is that you cannot load the wrong ammo in an emergency.

If you have a lot of guns, you’d need to do some swapping, selling, or buying. For people who own several rifles, shotguns, or handguns, it may be difficult to settle on one caliber. Tappan would probably ask, “How much ammo do you have for each caliber you own?”

In the past three years, the commercial price of ammunition increased tremendously.

Having an adequate amount of ammunition – whatever you think “adequate” means – would be less costly if you standardized the calibers for the firearms you own or plan to own. You could probably buy less ammo or get a better price for buying in bulk.

Do you have any guns in your house? Many gun owners are proud of their guns and talk about them to other guys. But if you do have guns in your house, it’s nobody’s business but

yours. You can’t tell what will happen if you shoot your mouth off.

My brother-in-law told me that when he went to see his doctor, the nurse asked if he kept a gun in his house. He said, “Of course not!” He said his doctor’s appointment was paid for by Medicare, and he thinks this might be a standard question. I cannot verify this is true.

He says he has heard of friends going to the VA being asked if they felt stressed, threatened, or felt like doing harm to someone. My brother-inlaw thinks that positive answers would be reported to Homeland Security, and the veterans might lose their concealed carry permits. I wasn’t able to substantiate this.

After saying this, my brother-in-law asked me if I had guns in my house. I told him, “Of course not!”

I’ll bet you don’t have guns in your house either, so this article will be totally useless to you.

Kerry Cartier, the “Disaster Guy,” says these tips can work gun owners and hunters. He has more tried-and-true tips that make disasters less disastrous. Check out his website at www.

“The extension service offers this program in different counties across Texas,” she added.

Rhodes said she likes to call the event a ‘friend to friend party.’ “A lot of women are scared of cancer screening tests,” she said. “They’ve heard how unpleasant it is and we want to do away with the myth that it’s scary,” she said.

“We encourage women to come with a friend and make it a fun thing instead of something to be afraid of.”

The Friend to Friend event will also include testimonies from cancer survivors who will discuss the importance of early detection.

“We’re also going to talk about the different types of tumors that can be detected through mammograms versus just by doing a self-exam,” she said. “These screenings are so important.” Guests will also find out ways they can get help paying for cancer screening tests.

Rhodes said. “The funding will help pay for not just breast cancer screening, but for pap tests for cervical and uterine cancer.” These events have been successful in the past in counties across the state. This is truly a wonderful opportunity for the women of Van Zandt County to have access to free cancer screenings for those who qualify.

It’s very important that this day is for all women, not just the ones who need access to these services. This is a day where all women can learn information about women’s health issues and celebrate those who have survived this horrible disease, encourage those who may be or will become a victim through encouragement to overcome and win the battle over cancer.

For more information or to donate funds, contact Rhodes at 903-567-4149 or email her at melisa. rhodes@ag.tamu.edu to sign up for the event or additional information.

Flying into Leadership

A

fter several years of planning, Leadership Van Zandt County is officially underway. The maiden class of nine students kicked off the year with an overnight stay at Peninsula Ranch in Quinlan followed by a full day of teambuilding exercises at Texas A&M Commerce Outdoor Adventure last weekend.

The overnight stay included guest speaker Executive Director Leadership Tyler Smittee Root. Leadership Tyler has been in place for over 30 years and Root offered many great points for the LVZC class as they entered into unfamiliar territory. Her experience with leadership provided classmates with a greater understanding of the value of the program as they headed towards their goal of learning more about Van Zandt County and becoming future leaders.

Day two of the retreat was held at Texas A&M Commerce Outdoor Adventure. Outdoor Adventure’s Challenge Course offers adventure based learning opportunities to enhance leadership, decision-making, and communication skills through an interactive process for groups to develop as a team. This hands-on approach is designed to help individuals learn from their interaction with others and then

LVZC class members work together as they pass Kristi Smith through one of the low element obstacles.

The objective of this exercise was to move all classmates from one side of the spider web to the other without touching the web.

apply those principles to their life situations.

The morning portion included a number of low element exercises designed to teach students the importance of communication and working together to achieve a common objective. The afternoon session included a number of high element exercises where students learned to overcome their fear of heights in some cases and to learn to trust their teammates.

The first of eight classes will begin Oct. 13 with the history of Van Zandt County taught by Benja Mize, Elvis Allen and Lawrence Greer from the VZC Genealogy Library. The October class will also include an in-depth MyersBriggs personality assessment conducted

by Wizard of Ads out of San Antonio.

The seven remaining classes will include: Community Service, Community Involvement and Volunteerism, Time Management, Conflict Resolution, Effective Communication, Effective Boards and Committees, Economic Outlook and Development in VZC and a thorough overview of Van Zandt County Government, Criminal Justice, Education, Healthcare and more.

The class will also make a trip to Austin in March for Van Zandt County Days.

LVZC is designed to incorporate key leadership objectives emphasizing professional leadership and community development. Throughout the course of the program schedule, students will be exposed to extensive training from both professional speakers and honorary community leaders as well as participate in various group events that will highlight their personal strengths and the needs of the community.

The LVZC Class of 2016- ‘17 will graduate in June 2017 and will become the future LVZC board of directors.

Records

that were prescribed by law.

“The fee is $10, and it is essential for archiving and restoring all the records. The fee was originally established in 2009. My plan is to continue to restore old record books from the 1800s. The records contain handwritten meeting minutes from court,” said Wilson.

Wilson pointed out to the court that the records were deteriorating and that some of the record books had pages falling out.

“Obviously, since these records are so old there are some problems. There are some books where the pages are falling out and even some with the pages taped together. It is crucial that we maintain these books for future generations.”

Lucy

First introduced to Miss Lucy on a trail ride in Medina with his brother Ronney, Francois joked that Miss Lucy “wasn’t big enough to saddle,” and “if she won’t get in the trailer, just pick her up and put her in the back of the truck.” His brother reassured Francois that Miss Lucy could ‘carry him all day long.’ “She carried him all day long, and it made a big impression on me,” Francois said.

After the ride and sometime later Francois drove to Mamou, La., to buy Miss Lucy for $850 from Ronney, with plans to use Miss Lucy on trail rides through canyons and mountains.

Francois first started training Miss Lucy on a canyon ride through Royal Gorge, Colo.

“I watched Tommy take her

from 1A Wilson said that she had found a company in Dallas that deals in restoration of old books.

“We have contracted with a company in Dallas who restores old books and records.

Right now, they will take a book and restore it and place it in a new case. The case is fireresistant and each page comes with a protected sleeve. Also, all of the pages have been acidified and it has brought out the ink,” she said.

Wilson said her goal is to completely restore all of the records, but that the process comes at a steep price.

“Each book that is restored costs approximately $3,000.

So, it is not cheap. I have some funds still left but it is going to take a while to get them all done. So, I am con-

centrating on taking the worst of the books and restoring those first. That way, we can get everything restored before we lose valuable history.”

County Clerk Pam Pearman also asked commissioners for approval for an archive fee of $5.

Pearman said she was amazed at how much history she found in the vaults of the Van Zandt County Courthouse.

“When I started working here in the 1990s, I was amazed to see all the old records that were stored in the vault,” Pearman said.

Pearman said the records she is planning to restore are located in the VZC Courthouse basement and that funds received are used for

restoring those specific records.

The commissioners approved both the county and district clerk annual records archive plans and fees.

Commissioner Tim West said that he found it interesting to read how the court operated back in the 1850s.

“It was really neat reading the 1850s commissioners court minutes, The way the used to do roads in the county is that if the county was getting ready to redo a road, they would send a letter or a memo to every property owner up and down that road and tell them how many hands that the property owner had to supply to build the road. Everybody had to supply their own people and build a road.”

over ridges and all around that canyon,’ said Ruby. Francois replied saying that the ride starting because of Miss Lucy being spooked and “running away with me.”

Francois then brought Miss Lucy to Canton to start training.

Having trained two other mules to cut, Francois said he wanted to give Miss Lucy a go at cutting.

Although his brother had broke Miss Lucy, Francois still had to teach her to cut, roll back and stop with purpose.

“When training began with Miss Lucy, she would watch the cow and if it moved in one direction, Miss Lucy would go in the opposite,” he said. “It only took a couple of sessions before she began to understand

what was wanted from her.

Miss Lucy really taught herself.

You can see that she always has her eyes on the cow. She really pays attention to what they are doing.”

Recently Francois entered Miss Lucy into a two-day event and Miss Lucy marked a 73 and a 72.5, earning the circuit award for her class. Miss Lucy achieved this with only being on cattle for 100 days, said Francois.

After seeing a video of Miss Lucy in action on YouTube, a man in Florida had his son, who lives in Kemp, visit the Francois’ to make an offer to buy Miss Lucy.

“The offer was substantial, but I declined,” said Francois. “even though the offer compares to what you would expect

for a bred and trained cutting horse. The hopeful buyer left a standing offer for purchase, but I have no plans to part ways with Miss Lucy.”

Despite being pitted against horses in cutting contests, Miss Lucy still picks up a check.

“Every time we go to an event she picks up a check,” said Ruby. “Remember, Miss Lucy is competing against horses, there isn’t a separate class for mules.”

Mules are typically not allowed at shows because of their behavior, which often spooks the horses, said Francois. But, Miss Lucy has set herself apart from other mules.

“She doesn’t bray or draw attention to herself, the horses just leave her alone,” says Francois.

Library chairs, seating arrangements, computer stations, paint and remodeled restrooms.

For a time, the library operated on limited space while it was under construction. Carpeting was taken up by inmates of the VZC jail in March, and books were moved along with computers, shelves and copy machines. The Buchanan Room of the VZC Library served as a temporary library space for a number of weeks.

Not only did the inside receive fresh updates, but earlier this year the front of the library got dressed up as well. Grass was planted and dead bushes were removed providing a pleasant space to sit on the porch and use the library’s free WiFi. During the open house, the Library Advisory Board was also on hand to talk to citizens about thoughts and ideas for the library while refreshments were served.

The open house saw a number of guests, with county commissioners and VZC Judge Don Kirkpatrick in attendance.

Bylaws, policies Librarian Susie Pulley and Library Board Member Russell Harris came to the commissioners meeting Sept. 13 informing and asking for acceptance of changes in the library’s bylaws and policies.

“We are blessed to have good board members. But we saw a need to change the date of the annual meeting to reflect that we are bringing in new members a month earlier. This gives us an opportunity to get approval from the court before starting a meeting with people that have not been approved by the court,” Librarian Susie Pulley said.

Commissioners approved the board’s recommendations for changes to the library advisory board. The court also approved a change in the bylaws concerning secretary books of the library board.

A policy was then approved by commissioners concerning the length of keeping records at the library.

“We came up with an idea to retain records for seven years,” said Harris.

“But, we do need a term limit for those records.”

Librarian Pulley said that when she came to the library five years ago, there were a lot of long-term re-

Miss Lucy’s next competition is in Texarkana, Ark. at the American Fellowship of Cowboy Churches Ranch Cutting Finals. The event is being held in conjunction with the AFCC Annual Cowboy Gathering.

The Francois’ would like to see Miss Lucy get some on screen time as well. They have been in contact with producers that are interested in the acting side of Miss Lucy’s talents.

The Francois’ are also considering allowing programs that benefit disabled children the opportunity to visit Miss Lucy as well as welcoming local 4H clubs.

Nikki Cole looks through a book at the newly renovated Van Zandt County Library Sept. 15. cords. “As long as a patron is coming and is active, we will keep their record.”

The commissioners approved the records retention policy.

There will now be a sick policy enforced at the Van Zandt County Library as well.

“We have people that come in and they are sick or ill. They sit at the computers and hack or sneeze. When they are sick they are getting germs everywhere, especially if they are sitting at a four-person computer table. We have parents who bring their children to the library when they are too sick to go to school. There have been a lot of accidents with someone throwing up on the floor etc.

“We don’t have a policy that would enable us to ask those patrons to leave if we felt that they were truly ill. It was recommended to us by our attorney that we have a sick policy in place,” said Pulley.

“If someone is sick, blowing their nose constantly and coughing, we are going to ask that person to leave.”

“Not only are we concerned about the safety of the employees but the safety and wellness of our patrons as well,” Harris said.

Commissioner Virgil Melton Jr. said that he did have concerns over the sick policy.

“I think you have to be very careful when you deny someone access because they are sick or may be sick. It could be that the person just has allergies.”

Pulley said that it is usually “not a cold that we worry about. You can tell when someone is truly very sick.”

Turnovers costly for Eagles in 42-12 loss

By David Kapitan Sports Editor The Canton Eagles entered play against Paris North Lamar knowing they would be facing off against one of their toughest opponents of the season, taking on a Panther team that had already knocked off a pair of 5A opponents in nondistrict play.

Turnovers and costly mistakes would be the biggest factor in the outcome of the Sept. 23 game between Canton and North Lamar, as three first quarter turnovers led directly to 21 Panther points in what would become a 42-12 loss.

Canton began play on offense, stalling out quickly before being forced to punt the ball to the Panthers for their first possession of the night.

Despite excellent field position at the Canton 43-yard to start their first drive, North Lamar didn’t fare much better than the Eagles, netting just four yards on their first series before turning the ball back over on downs.

Canton made a costly mistake just two plays into their second possession, throwing an interception that would once again give the Panthers excellent field position near midfield.

North Lamar ran the ball seven consecutive plays, including a five-yard touchdown run by Tyler Hill to cap the drive, for an early 6-0 lead.

Travis Coston added the PAT, pushing the lead to 7-0 in favor of the Panthers midway through the first quarter.

The turnover bug would bite the Eagles again just three plays later on their third possession of the night, this time resulting in a North Lamar fumble recovery at the Canton 35-yard line.

Four plays after the turnover, Sam Cowling powered his way through Canton’s defense for another Panther touchdown.

Coston added his second PAT of the night, putting the lead at 14-0 in favor of North Lamar.

Canton finally began to find some rhythm offensively on its next drive, with Hunter Moore completing each of his first three passes of the drive to move the Eagles toward the North Lamar side of the field.

Faced with a fourth and five situation, the Eagles rolled the dice on a play only to have Menderez Gray step in front of a pass for an interception.

North Lamar continued to rely on its ground game to make the Eagles pay, driving 97 yards during the late stages of the first quarter and early

stages of the second quarter for their third touchdown drive of the night. Cowling once again put the capper on a North Lamar series, scoring his second touchdown of the night on another 15-yard keeper. Another Coston PAT later and the Panthers had built a 21-0 lead.

Canton and North Lamar would trade possession of the football without scoring the rest of the first half, with Canton throwing another interception and turning the ball over on downs and North Lamar turning the ball over on downs and coming up just short in their bid to reach the end zone by the half.

Down but not out, Canton came out of the half on defense, stopping the first Panther drive of the second half. Taking possession near midfield, Canton overcame a holding penalty after a solid gain by Dylan Cox to strike for their first points of the night on a Hunter Moore to Zach Brown 55-yard touchdown strike. The PAT attempt was blocked leaving Canton’s deficit at 21-6 with 9:27 to play in the third quarter.

The Panthers wasted little time in re-establishing their momentum, getting a lightning quick strike on a 48-yard touchdown run moments later to build a 28-6 advantage.

Even with an off night against Paris North Lamar Sept. 23, the Canton offense averaged an impressive 38.4 points per game through five non-district games.

North Lamar’s defense once again stopped Canton’s normally potent offense on a fourth down attempt on their second drive of the second half, retaking possession of

Eaglettes drop district opener to rival Van The Canton Eaglettes set a high standard during the 2015 season, riding a veteran roster that included eight seniors to the top spot in district play with an 8-1 record overall. With a much younger roster in tow this season, the Eaglettes began their latest chapter of district play by

hosting rival Van Sept. 23.

The matchup didn’t go as planned for Canton, with Van fending off a tough challenge by the Eaglettes to pull out a four-set victory. Van managed to keep Canton at arms-length during each of the first two sets, pulling ahead 25-17, 25-16 over

the Eaglettes.

Play between the two teams was extremely competitive in a thrilling third set, as Canton pulled itself back into the match by topping Van 30-28.

Led by strong play from freshman Macy Rucker and junior Alli Lloyd, the Lady Van-

dals shut the door on any Canton comeback attempt by taking the fourth set 25-17 to end the match.

The Eaglettes were scheduled to travel to Wills Point Sept. 27.

The Lady Tigers also have an 0-1 record in district play, having been swept by Mabank Sept. 23.

Rains, currently ranked 5th overall among all 4A teams by the Texas Girls Coaches Association, will host Canton Sept. 30.

The Eaglettes will host Brownsboro for their annual Dig Pink fundraising night Oct. 4 before wrapping up the first round of district play in Mabank Oct. 7.

Eagles once again on a short fouryard run to put the game out of reach. With the made PAT, the Panther advantage sat at 35-6 midway through the third quarter.

Canton continued to fight its way throughout the rest of the night, turning the ball over again on a fourth down attempt on their next drive before forcing and recovering a fumble moments later.

The Eagles managed to give North Lamar a dose of its own

from 1B medicine, scoring a touchdown off the turnover courtesy of a six-yard Dylan Cox touchdown to make the score 35-12 heading into the fourth quarter.

The Panthers managed to add a final insurance touchdown in the fourth quarter, scoring on a 39-yard Javon Franklin touchdown run early in the frame to cap a 42-12 loss for the Eagles.

Even with the misstep against the Panthers, Canton

Funeral services for Mrs. Fay Inez Tunnell, 43 were held at 230 o’clock Tuesday afternoon the Van Methodist Church. Officiating was Rev. Frank Richardson, Junior, pastor, assisted by Rev. Rubal Ford of Palestine. Interment was in Haven of Memories under the direction of Hilliard Funeral Home of Van she was a member of the Methodist Church and had lived in Van her entire life she is survived by her husband Marvin Tunnel.

The first group of 1960 Texas 4H club winners has been released by the State 4-H office and includes 12 of the state’s most outstanding members. They are winners of Santa Fe Educational Award which are offered in conjunction with the 1960 national 4-H club Congress and are provided by the Santa Fe Railroad.

Stephen Finch Van Zandt County was one of those winners. The group will be members of the Texas delegation to the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago, November 27 through December 1.

This and That -We saw a former Commissioner Precinct 4, Buster Brown, chewing the fat with Cantonites Wednesday morning… The heavy rain stopped his construction work for a few days, Buster said.

Speaking of the rains…

They were a big help to the cattlemen of the County and those farmers who were sowing grain and cover crops… But the sweet potato growers are crying.

H. E. Reeves, district manager of Southwestern State Telephone Co., with headquarters in Henderson, dropped by the office Wednesday and told us that his company expects to cut over with their Ben Wheeler, Jackson, Oakland, and Myrtle Springs exchanges sometime the latter part of November. This will mean that a called to any of these areas will be a local call from Canton. Sounds like good news to us.

the first day. She marked him absent every day after that. Although she knew the name, Mrs. Slaughter had never seen the student.

Between classes she busied herself in the hall asking people if they knew Alfred E. Neuman or anything about him. Mr. Barber searched the records for days and days. There was no trace of Alfred to be found. By the time two weeks past, Mrs. Slaughter didn’t know where to turn next. She had no idea where Alfred might be. On Monday, Sept. 19, the climax came to a great day in the history of Canton high school Alfred was found.

As Mrs. Slaughter walked into her fifth period class on Monday, she spied on the bulletin board a large for posterior with these words, “The Mad Party; vote for Alfred E. Neuman for president!” With a large picture of Albert in the center. Mrs, Slaughter called off the search. She was really surprised. This is proof that Mrs. Slaughter doesn’t keep up with the teen magazine.

Don’t try to keep up with the Joneses – Every school day Ezra Jones takes his time getting to the bus, climbs slowly on, takes his time finding a seat, and when the bus finally is able to start on its way. The rest of the way to school, he is constantly changing seats, hollering at people, throwing paper wads, picking fights with people, and sticking his head out the window, all of which is done when the driver isn’t looking. After arriving at school, Ezra pushes people out of his way in order to get off the bus first; or sometimes waits until everyone else is off, and then he will start his slow march to the front of the bus thereby holding up other buses.

After school, the same routine begins again. When the bus stops in front of his house he waits until his little brothers and sisters are nearly to the house before he even decides to get up.

If this reminds you of yourself, then maybe you had better take notice and change a little. It may seem cute to do things without the bus driver catching you, but here’s news – you’re not hurting him. If you hap-

Funeral services for Bennie Hayden Ward, 75 were held at schools brings church, Tuesday, Sept. 27, with Rev. Herbert Hodge and Rev. John B. Trent conducted the services.

Mr. Ward was born August 4, 1885, and was a lifelong resident of Van Zandt County. He was a member of the County Line Baptist Church Baptist at the time of his youth. He was married to Allie May Ward on August 26, 1904. Interment was in Cool Springs Cemetery under the direction of Eubank Funeral Home.

Modern age… Traveling By Jet Airplanes Is Just Right For 96 Year Old ExVan Zandter, By Conoly Cullum, Staff Writer, Dallas, News: Mrs. Sarah Dean, who will be 96 years young in November, hopped a jet and came to Dallas for her birthday. “I like to travel. And I like to get places fast” she told the news man at Love Field Monday. “My name should be Sarah Goforth.”

A resident of Los Angeles, Mrs. Dean is visiting her brother and sister-inlaw, Mr. andvMrs. A. E. Weir of Dallas. She’s made many flying trips since her girlhood days on a farm in Wills Point, but this was her first experience with the new jets, traveling 600 mph.

“We were above the clouds, and below the clouds,” she said. “Man can’t make anything as beautiful.”

The alert little lady was buoyant when she stepped from the plane. Her formula for living a long and happy life. “Keep active and interested in current events.”

“I’ve missed church once this year, because it was pouring down rain.” She said. “I keep working in the home. I like to hang out clothes in the fresh air”

Mrs. Dean lives with her daughter and son-in-law Mr. and Mrs. Reed Boz of Los Angeles. She’s outlived her other three children, her husband and most of her nine brothers and sisters.

“I’ve had sadness in my life she said and I’ve been happy but mostly I’ve been a happy person. Some people don’t know how to appreciate the many things we have today so many advantages we have.” She added.

Born in Ontario, Canada Mrs. Dean came to Texas as a young girl. The train trip took many days she recalled. “My father wouldn’t travel on Sunday,” she said. “ I remember stopping off for the day and going to church.” The family settled near Wills Point, Van Zandt County, “ In the Free State of Van Zandt, they called it then”, she said.

She married in Wills Point and then with her husband, moved to Oklahoma,

where Mr. Dean drew a lucky number in the government land drawing. They lived in Frederick. After Mr. Dean’s accidental death in 1913 Mrs. Dean became a city librarian. Later she worked in Wills Point. She returned to Los Angeles the way she came on a jet plane “It’s the only way to travel,” Mrs. Dean said. Ms. Dean is an aunt of Mrs. W. B. Rogers of Canton and will visit her before returning to Los Angeles.

News of Men and Women in Service-sound area – Charles L. Campbell, Seaman, USN, Lindsay, Oklahoma, serving aboard the tank landing ship USS Vernon County, took part in an amphibious training exercise from September 5-17 at Pohang Dong, South Korea.

Babies...nothing cuter!

Whether you’re looking at puppies, kittens, people or a baby giraffe that’s taller than you, no one can resist those big innocent eyes and surely cuddling is in order. Carl Sandburg said, “A baby is God’s opinion that the world should go on.”

This week’s Preschool Storytime will feature “babies.”At 10 a.m.

Friday, Sept. 30, Miss Rhonda will be at the Van Zandt County Library reading stories that center around babies. Come listen, make a craft and have fun.

The week’s volunteer profile features Susan Evans. She followed her interest in reading into the library and has worked

there for two years.

She has a background working with computers, with an associates degree in computer aided design.

Working about four hours every week, Susan’s jobs include shelving books and generally helping out where needed. Her least favorite part is dealing with the Dewey Decimal System as she shelves books. Thank you, Susan for all you do to help the staff and patrons of the library.

The Friends of the Library accepts donations to help the library purchase items that the budget doesn’t cover.

Two types of donations are to honor a living person or organization

and to honor the memory of someone. When you make a donation, a letter is sent to the person or family to inform them of the tribute. Over the past month these memorial donations have been received: in memory of Bob Stafford

by Melissa Sanches and Henry and Martha Lewis; in memory of Charles (Sonny) Huddle

by Henry and Martha Lewis and Richard and Paula Ray; in memory of Billy Lynn Davidson by Ann Miller; in memory of Kathleen Stanford Barber by Ann Miller; in memory of Sybil Berry

by Richard and Paula Ray; and in memory of Anna Little Hughen by Nancy Hughen Foran.

Susan Evans As we enter the fall season and cooler weather arrives, some activities move indoors.

The library is a great place to find ideas for education, self-improvement and entertainment. Books and e-books, videos, recorded books, periodicals, and computers are all great sources. Check out the website www. vanzandtlibrary.org then come by to find what you need.
