news@princetonherald.com Police are continuing their investigation into a body that was found after a house fire last week. Though official cause of
death has not been made by the medical examiner’s office, at this time preliminary results are leaning toward death caused as a result of the fire. “We don’t suspect any foul play at this time,” Police Chief James Waters said. Around 8:30 p.m. Oct. 3,
the Princeton Fire Department responded to a fire call on 223 W. Willow Lane. When arriving on scene, fire was through the roof and engulfing the brick home. Mutual aid assistance from Lowry Crossing, Branch and Farmersville, Melissa and
McKinney Fire Departments was received along with the Princeton Fire Department. Firefighters were told on scene that everyone was out of the house and the homeowner was located. In the early morning hours of Oct. 4 remains were found.

Princeton Police continue investigating an altercation Saturday night in Walmart that sent one man to the hospital and another to jail on an assault charge. The altercation occurred about 10:30 p.m. Oct. 8 at 701 W. Princeton Drive. Police Chief James Waters reported that two men allegedly were following a man and woman, identified as Justin Crawford, 28, and Ashley Crawford, 27, of Princeton in the store and making comments directed toward the couple, until one of the men, identified as Juan Guerrero, 25, of Princeton allegedly grabbed the woman and pushed her out of the way to get at the man. At that point, the police chief said, a fight erupted on aisle six, the frozen food section. The fight spilled out into a main aisle of the store and the combatants crashed into a display of ranch dressing and jars of salsa, causing them to fall to the ground. See WALLOPED page 6A
Korean War Veterans wall signed into law From Staff Reports
news@csmediatexas.com The Korean War Veterans Memorial Wall of Remembrance Act, a bill by U.S. Rep Sam Johnson (District 3), was signed into law last week permitting a Wall of Remembrance to be added to the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. The Wall will list the names of all members of the U.S. Armed Forces who gave their lives during the Korean War. It would also list the total number of all American POWs and MIAs from the Korean War. Additionally, the bill has the co-sponsored support of over 300 Members of Congress. The wall will be 100 percent privately funded. “As a 29-year Air Force veteran of both the Korean and Vietnam Wars, I’m thrilled that this important Wall of Remembrance will finally be made a real-
ity,” said Johnson. “It was a team effort that would make our Armed Forces proud – I thank my fellow Korean War veterans, Congressmen Charles B. Rangel and John Conyers, as well as Senators John Boozman and Ben Cardin for their support.” Johnson also gave thanks to fellow Korean War veterans who championed this bill. More than 36,000 Americans gave their lives in the war. “I am pleased that the Korean War Veterans Memorial will add a place for those to remember the names of our veterans and the heroes who never returned home. To know that out of ashes of impoverished people, a close ally, one of wealthiest countries and one of the firmest democracies that has been established is a testament to the contributions Korean War veterans have made to the great American legacy that should be never forgotten,” Rangel said.

LIFE & STYLE • OBITUARIES
The healing power of faith and family By Sonia Duggan
sduggan@csmediatexas.com Eight years ago, 35-year old Katrina Owens received news that would forever change her life. A wife and mom of a kindergartner at that time, she wasn’t thinking breast cancer was in her future, but it was. She discovered the mass when she was 34, but didn’t actually make it to the doctor until after her birthday a few months later, a fact Katrina is quick to point out, that she isn’t proud of. At the time she was diagnosed, Katrina had never had a major illness and was under the age of having a recommended mammography. According to her, she wasn’t aware of any family history of breast cancer but said she thinks it might have something to do with her cell phone. “I was guilty of carrying my phone in my bra for convenience like so many. The mass was found in that exact spot. Now I take every opportunity to warn anyone I see doing so,” Katrina said. She was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma, a common form of breast cancer responsible for about 80 percent of all cancers. Concerned about the diagnosis and how it would affect her young child, Katrina tried to be as positive as possible once she heard the results. “I didn’t want to scare him into thinking he wouldn’t have a mom anymore.” For family members close to Katrina, the news was delivered in a typical Katrina way, with concern for them, asking if “they” were in a calm state before delivering the news. Understandably, her mom was terrified and cried when she heard the news, and her husband, Thomas Owens, Sr., did the same, fearing he would be left to raise their 6-year-old son alone. “All of that changed when I saw how she responded to the news. She had to calm me down,” Thomas said. “When I saw how she dealt with it, I couldn’t be sad. She is a fighter.
Her smile encouraged me. How she lived and continues to live encourages me.” When Owens went to meet with her surgeon, she went armed with an entourage of family and a plan of attack. “I don’t think she’d ever seen a group come in like us,” she said. The doctor told her she would need a lumpectomy, chemotherapy and radiation. One family member present was Wylita Hooks, Katrina’s older sister. Hooks said, “When I went with her to her first appointment, I was full of fear, anxiety, and doubt. But, watching the fearlessness she portrayed with her 3-ring binder in tow, filled with her own research and questions, quickly helped me to regain my bearings and watch her adjust her cape to face this journey with a level of grace, tenacity, and faith that would make any God-fearing person beam with pride.” Katrina’s core support network included her husband, mom, Hooks, her mom’s sisters, a cousin, Nedra Webb, and niece Quana Bagley. In addition, she had a large family and friends network for added support.

Time again to check your Medicare health, drug plans
AMAC urges older Americans to lead the way to vote
Now’s the time for Texans with Medicare to check their health and drug coverage for 2017. Medicare’s open enrollment period runs from Oct. 15 until Dec. 7. Open enrollment is the best time to make sure your health and drug plans still meet your individual needs, especially if you’ve had any changes in your health. By now insurers should have notified you of any adjustments in your health or drug coverage or any changes in your out-ofpocket costs for next year. The average monthly premium for a Medicare Advantage plan will drop by $1.19 to $31.40, while the average monthly premium for a basic drug plan will inch up $1.50 to $34. Medicare Advantage remains a strong alternative for people who prefer to receive care through a private insurer rather than through Medicare’s original fee-for-service program. Enrollment in the private Medicare Advantage plans is expected to grow by 1.2 million to 18.5 million people in 2017 – about 32 percent of Medicare beneficiaries. Even if you’ve been satis-
We need to show new voters how to exercise their most important right and their most profound responsibility There was some distressing news from Gallup earlier this week. Voters will be staying home in droves this year, according to the polling organization. Dan Weber, president of the Association of Mature American Citizens, says that it is not a good thing. “You’d think that with all of the hoopla surrounding the 2016 Presidential Elections, voters would be particularly energized this year. But Gallup says that its survey shows only 69% of the electorate say they will definitely exercise their right to vote come November. In fact, an astounding 72% of respondents in its poll say they really haven’t given much thought to the election.” Weber warns that by not casting their ballots those nonvoters are, in effect, opting for the candidates proposed by the “other party.” He says it also diminishes our respect for good government, undermines our representative democracy and makes us weaker as a nation. In addition, he adds, elections are meant to unify the country by allowing all eligible voters to have their say in who shall lead them and by not voting we create a deeper divide. “This year, more Americans want a change in the direction our country has taken in recent years. They want to take back their ability to control their lives as our forebears did in the good
old days when the Constitution was considered an inviolable document that made our democracy the envy of the world. Voter apathy is a threat to all of that.” It has been reported that young Millennials and their immediate predecessors who were called Generation X constitute the largest voting bloc in the U.S., having taken over the spotlight from Baby Boomers. But the Gallup poll indicates that only 47% of younger voters say they will definitely get out and vote in 2016, down from 58% in 2012. Thus, Weber says, older Americans can still lead the way by example and he is calling on the members of his influential senior advocacy organization to do all they can to invigorate the nation this November. “AMAC was founded by a membership determined to make a difference, activists who believe that all is not yet lost. We need to get out the vote. We need to urge our voting age family members and friends to prove that the graying of America, where 10,000 of us turn 65 years of age each day, is a good thing. Perhaps it will also show new voters how to exercise their most important right and their most profound responsibility. One thing’s for sure, it will also show the world that the U.S. is not in decline; that we are on the rise again.” The Association of Mature American Citizens [http://www. amac.us] is a senior advocacy organization..
The U.S. Supreme Court on Oct. 3 denied the Obama administration’s petition for a rehearing of United States v. Texas, a high-profile immigration case. Heard by the eight-member high court in April, the case ended in a 4-4 deadlock in a late-June ruling. The deadlock left in place a Texas federal district court’s temporary injunction freezing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s November 2014 policies known as “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” and “Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents.” The policies are aimed at forestalling the deportation of an estimated 4 million undocumented immigrants and providing a conditional path to citizenship. In December 2014, Texas was joined by a coalition of other states in a lawsuit challenging the policies as an unconstitutional federal overreach. In February 2015, Brownsville U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen sided

fied with your health and drug coverage, you may benefit from reviewing all your options. Shopping around may save you money or improve your coverage. Texans in Medicare’s original fee-for-service program can choose from 23 drug plans with monthly premiums ranging from $17 to $170.50. Look beyond premiums, though. The only way to determine the true cost of your drug coverage is to consider other factors like deductibles, co-payments and coinsurance. Medicare’s website – www. medicare.gov – has the best tool for helping you narrow your search for a new health or drug plan. Just click on “Find Health and Drug Plans.” After entering your ZIP code and the list of your prescriptions, you can use the “Medicare Plan Finder” tool to compare your coverage and out-of-pocket costs under different plans. The quality of a health or drug plan’s customer service
should be considered, too. To help you identify the best and worst, the Plan Finder provides star ratings for each plan. A gold star will show plans with the highest, five-star rating, while a warning icon will alert you to plans that have performed poorly for at least the past three years. Besides using Medicare.gov, you can call Medicare’s toll-free help line at 1-800-633-4227 or consult your “Medicare & You 2017 Handbook,” which you have just received in the mail. One-on-one benefits counseling is also available through your State Health Insurance Assistance Program. In Texas, you should call 1-800-252-9240. Thanks to the health care law, you’ll enjoy more savings on your prescriptions in 2017 once you land in the coverage gap, known as the “doughnut hole.” You’ll receive a 60 percent discount on your brand-name drugs and a 49 percent discount on your generic drugs while in the gap. The doughnut hole begins once you and your drug plan have spent $3,700 for your drugs. If you’re having difficulty affording your medications, you
may qualify for extra help with your drug coverage premiums, deductibles and co-payments. The amount of help depends on your income and resources. But, generally, you’ll pay no more than $3.30 for generic drugs and $8.25 for brand-name drugs. Thirty-five percent of Texans with Medicare’s drug coverage now get such a break. To learn more about whether you qualify for extra help, visit www.socialsecurity.gov/prescriptionhelp or call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213. Again this fall and winter, many Americans younger than 65 will shop for health care policies for themselves and their families on the recently launched Health Insurance Marketplace. But the marketplace doesn’t affect you, since you have your health insurance through Medicare. Just as you’ve always done each fall, your attention should be focused on whether you’d like to make any changes in your Medicare health and drug plans. There’s no better time to check that coverage. Any changes you make will take effect on Jan. 1.

High court refuses to rehear Texas immigration case By Ed Sterling
pares to impact the United States, it is crucial that our fellow Americans receive the assistance they need. I am confident that Texas’ dedicated emergency response professionals will strengthen the disaster response efforts at a time when local resources may be strained,” Abbott said. Revenue for month is lower Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar, the state’s chief financial officer, on Oct. 5 said state sales tax revenue totaled $2.13 billion in September, an amount 3.9 percent lower than in September 2015. “Subdued spending for oil and gas drilling continues to depress sales tax revenue,” Hegar said. “Consumer spending also appears to have slowed, as sales tax collections from retail trade were down from the previous year. In contrast, construction sector receipts continued to grow.” Total sales tax revenue for the three months ending in September is down 2.6 percent com-
pared to the same period a year ago. Zika testing is recommended The Texas Department of State Health Services on Oct. 3 issued a health alert encouraging health care providers in the Rio Grande Valley counties of Cameron, Hidalgo, Starr, Webb, Willacy and Zapata to test for Zika virus infection in their patients. Health officials are recommending testing of pregnant women who have at least two of the four most common Zika symptoms — fever, rash, joint pain and conjunctivitis — regardless of their travel history or other risk factors. Officials continue to recommend that health care providers test anyone with at least three of the four most common symptoms statewide and all pregnant women who have traveled to an area with active Zika transmission, regardless of symptoms. As of Oct. 7, Texas had 226 Zika cases reported among patients who contracted the dis-
ease while traveling elsewhere. While no cases are known to have originated in Texas, the Rio Grande Valley is considered to be at higher risk for Zika transmission, according to DSHS Commissioner John Hellerstedt, because of previous regional outbreaks of dengue, a similar virus spread by the same type of mosquito. Event promotes local produce Oct. 1 marked the start of the Texas Department of Agriculture’s annual Local Products Challenge. Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller on Oct. 3 said the event encourages schools to teach children about healthy foods produced in Texas and to incorporate more locally produced foods into school meals. More than 140 school districts and charter schools have pledged to participate. Miller said that for every $1 spent on local food, $2.16 of economic activity is generated.

Seeing the importance of giving back

Lacy Elementary School is currently hosting their annual fundraiser and is hoping that the community will help them raise $9,000 to outfit Princeton PD officers with armor plates and helmets to wear in the event of an active shooting situation.
Adopt-a-Cop continues at Lacy From Staff Reports
news@princetonherald.com Lacy Elementary School’s annual school fundraiser is underway and this year it benefits the community and local police officers. The fundraisers are chosen by the staff at the school, and it is a way for the school to help give back to the Princeton community. This year, due to recent tragedies in their Texas community, the school has decided to hold a “Back the Blue” fundraiser to help raise money for the Princeton Police Department. The money collected will be used by the Princeton Police Department to help supply each officer with necessary tactical equipment in the event that an active shooter scenario takes place. The attack on July 7 against the Dallas Police Department was the deadliest attack against police officers since 9/11. This attack brought to the forefront that many police departments do not have adequate
body armor available to the officers who are always first on the scene. The cost of this equipment is often very high, and many police departments do not have the funds readily available to purchase this equipment. While officers can purchase this equipment on their own, many officers cannot afford to do so. “This project will help the men and women of the Princeton Police Department by supplying the proper equipment to add to the protection of officers in the event of an active shooter situation. The safety of our officers is important. They need the best equipment possible to help protect them in the event than an active shooter situation occurs,” said Courtney Raney. The school hopes to raise $9,000 through RedBasket.org to purchase rapid deployment vests and tactical helmets for the officers of the Princeton Police Department. The vests are used over the officer’s uniform to give an added layer of protection against a higher caliber
round that the everyday body armor will not protect against. Tactical helmets are worn to protect an officer’s head from gunfire. “Our officers put their lives on the line each and every day to protect the citizens of Princeton, and they should have the proper equipment in the event that a similar attack occurs,” Raney said. “The Princeton Police Department is made up of a group of 14 women and men who took an oath to serve and protect each and every citizen of the city.” As a community, it is our turn to give back to the Police Department and to show our support for the women and men of blue!” Lacy Elementary School asks residents to consider making a tax-deductible donation and share this story today to show your support and Back the Blue! Donations are accepted two ways: Bring cash or check to Lacy Elementary 224 E. College St. Princeton, Tx, 75407 or online at www.redbasket. org/1080.

Never give up on your dreams or friendship Courtesy photo
Local author Terry Markoff visited Lacy Elementary recently. He entertained the students with his engaging storytelling. His stories included strong messages of never giving up on your dreams and friendship. Mr. Markoff’s books include: “That Kid in Right Field,” “Mr. Funderburk Meets 5A,” “It’s Summer Vacation! Now What Do We Do?” and “Little Bunny Gets An Award.”
NHS members join McGruff to help community

Recently, NHS member Tayler Cook and senior Kaylee Dotson provided assistance by volunteering as McGruff for a crime prevention program.
It is believed that Guerrero sustained a gash to the head from a broken salsa jar, a police report filed in the incident states. Officer Kyle Strickland responded to the fight call at Walmart and found Guerrero sprawled on the ground and bleeding from the head. Medical responders were called to the scene and worked to stop the bleeding until the 25-yearold was taken by air ambulance to Medical Center of Plano. Statements were taken from Ashley Crawford, Jose Guerrero, identified as a brother to Juan Guerrero, shoppers who were in the vicinity of the altercation and a store associate.
Waters said that security camera video from inside the store did not show the incident. Justin Crawford was booked into Collin County Detention Center on a charge of assault. Because he was hospitalized, Juan Guerrero was not arrested. Waters said that the law requires charges be filed in the incident. Police were discussing criminal charges with the District Attorney’s office Tuesday. This is the third serious incident recently at Walmart that required police intervention. In July 2016, a stabbing occurred at the store, and in August 2016, a shoplifting complaint turned in to a vehicle chase.
Voters can head to polls beginning October 24 continued from 1A Smith in District 380, Mark Rusch in District 401, Piper McGraw in District 469 and Emily Miskel in District 470. Statewide, voters must chose among four candidates for Railroad Commissioner, GOP nominee Wayne Christian, Democratic candidate Grady Yarbrough, Mark Miller, Libertarian, and Martin Salinas of the Green Party. Ballots also include three seats each on the Texas Supreme Court and Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. Early voting in Princeton will take place at City Hall, 123 W. Princeton Drive. As far as having an ID to vote is concerned, the policy has changed. On Aug.10, a federal district court entered an order changing the voter identification requirements for all elections held in Texas after that date until further notice. As a result, voters who have obtained an acceptable form of
photo identification for voting listed below are still required to present it in order to vote in person in all Texas elections. The acceptable form of photo identification may be expired up to four years. Voters who have not been able to obtain one of the forms of acceptable photo identification listed below, and have a reasonable impediment or difficulty to obtaining such identification, may present a supporting form of identification and execute a Reasonable Impediment Declaration, noting the voter’s reasonable impediment to obtaining an acceptable form of photo identification, and stating that the voter is the same person on the presented supporting form of identification. Acceptable forms of photo ID include a Texas driver license issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Election Identification Certificate issued by DPS, Texas personal identification card issued by DPS, Texas license to carry a handgun issued by DPS, United States military
identification card containing the person’s photograph, United States citizenship certificate containing the person’s photograph or a United States passport. Election Identification Certificates are available from DPS driver license office during regular business hours. Here is a list of the supporting forms of ID that can be presented if the voter cannot obtain, and has a reasonable impediment or difficulty to obtaining one of the forms of acceptable photo ID: a Valid voter registration certificate, certified birth certificate (must be an original), copy of or original current utility bill, copy of or original bank statement, copy of original government check, copy of or original paycheck, copy of or original government document with your name and an address (original required if it contains a photograph.) After presenting a supporting form of ID, the voter must execute a Reasonable Impediment Declaration.

Panthers capture District 7-4A Div. I opening win By Liam Baker Contributing Writer
sports@princetonherald.com QUINLAN – A strong opening quarter and closing quarter propelled Princeton (4-2, 1-0) to a 37-15 victory over Ford (3-3, 0-1). in the District 7-4A Div. I opener. Ford won the toss and chose to receive. Their first two plays resulted in a first down. However, they would gain only one more first down in the whole quarter at Hobart Lytal Stadium.
Princeton’s defense game off of their bye week stout as three plays later Dylan Templeman knocked the ball out of the Ford’s runners hands. Ford would recover, but faced a fourth and long and had to punt. The short punt allowed Princeton to begin their first drive of the game on their own 48-yard line. Brendon Strickland went to the air on the first play, hooking up with Kai Brinkerhoff for a 5-yard gain. Strickland then handed the ball off to Alex Flores who rushed
for six yards and a first down. Philip Mayfield took the next handoff for 11 yards and another first down. Keyshawn Woodfaulk then rushed for nine yards and Tristan Gee became the sixth Princeton player to touch the ball when he stepped in as quarterback for a play and ran for 10 yards and another first down. With first-and-10 from the Ford 11, Flores took the pigskin and roared into the end zone for the first touchdown. See PHS page 5B

He added about Aubrey, “Confidence and momentum was key in the fight. As a team we didn’t get down on ourselves and really played with confidence. That game was a real fight for both teams, as Aubrey wanted to remain tied for first place in district and we were bent on climbing in
district standings. Every set was competitive, but we really pulled away in the fifth set. I explained to our players that we weight train and workout like we do to prepare for the fifth set and they were ready and pulled away early.” Top performers against Bonham were Kaylee Dot-
son (12 kills and three service aces), Shelbi Cook (10 kills, four service aces and 15 digs), Astraea Wayman (six kills and nine digs) and BriAna Lacey (32 assists, 10 digs and four service aces). Against Aubrey were Cook See LADY page 6B

Legal Notice
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION FOR TPDES PERMIT FOR MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER RENEWAL PERMIT NO. WQ0010442002 APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION. City of Farmersville, 205 South Main Street, Farmersville, Texas 75442, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for a renewal of Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0010442002, which authorizes the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 530,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on April 1, 2016. The facility is located at 1201 Elm Street, in the City of Farmersville, Collin County, Texas 75442. The treated effluent is discharged to an unnamed tributary of Elm Creek; thence to Elm Creek; thence to Lavon Lake in Segment No. 0821 of the Trinity River Basin. The unclassified receiving water use is minimal aquatic life use for the unnamed tributary of Elm Creek and Elm Creek. The designated uses for Segment No. 0821 are high aquatic life use, public water supply, and primary contact recreation. All determinations are preliminary and subject to additional review and/or revisions. The TCEQ Executive Director has completed the technical review of the application and prepared a draft permit. The draft permit, if approved, would establish the conditions under which the facility must operate. The Executive Director has made a preliminary decision that this permit, if issued, meets all statutory and regulatory requirements. The permit application, Executive Director’s preliminary decision, and draft permit are available for viewing and copying at the Charles Rike Memorial Library, 203 Orange Avenue, Farmersville, Texas. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility’s general location is provided as a public courtesy and is not part of the application or notice. For the exact location, refer to the application http://www.tceq.texas.gov/assets/publication/hb610/index.html?lat=33.155277&lng=-96.375&zoom=13&type=r CHANGE IN LAW: The Texas Legislature enacted Senate Bill 709, effective September 1, 2015, amending the requirements for comments and contested case hearings. This application is subject to those changes in law. PUBLIC COMMENT/ PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting about this application. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or to ask questions about the application. TCEQ holds a public meeting if the Executive Director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing. OPPORTUNITY FORA CONTESTED CASE HEARING. After the deadline for submitting public comments, the Executive Director will consider all timely comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. Unless the application is directly referred for a contested case hearing, the response to comments will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments and to those persons who are on the mailing list for this application. If comments are received, the mailing will also provide instructions for requesting a contested case hearing or reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in a state district court. TO REQUEST A CONTESTED CASE HEARING, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN YOUR REQUEST: your name, address, phone number; applicant’s name and proposed permit number; the location and distance of your property/activities relative to the proposed facility; a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the facility in a way not common to the general public; a list of all disputed issues of fact that you submit during the comment period and, the statement “[I/we] request a contested case hearing.” If the request for contested case hearing is filed on behalf of a group or association, the request must designate the group’s representative for receiving future correspondence; identify by name and physical address an individual member of the group who would be adversely affected by the proposed facility or activity; provide the information discussed above regarding the affected member’s location and distance from the facility or activity; explain how and why the member would be affected; and explain how the interests the group seeks to protect are relevant to the group’s purpose. Following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the Executive Director will forward the application and any requests for reconsideration or for a contested case hearing to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. The Commission may only grant a request for a contested case hearing on issues the requestor submitted in their timely comments that were not subsequently withdrawn. If a hearing is granted, the subject of a hearing will be limited to disputed issues of fact or mixed questions of fact and law relating to relevant and material water quality concerns submitted during the comment period. TCEQ may act on an application to renew a permit for discharge of wastewater without providing an opportunity for a contested case hearing if certain criteria are met. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ACTION. The Executive Director may issue final approval of the application unless a timely contested case hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed. If a timely hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed, the Executive Director will not issue final approval of the permit and will forward the application and request to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. MAILING LIST. If you submit public comments, a request for a contested case hearing or a reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision, you will be added to the mailing list for this specific application to receive future public notices mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk. In addition, you may request to be placed on: (1) the permanent mailing list for a specific applicant name and permit number; and/or (2) the mailing list for a specific county. If you wish to be placed on the permanent and/or the county mailing list, clearly specify which list(s) and send your request to TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below. All written public comments and public meeting requests must be submitted to the Office of the Chief Clerk, MC 105, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, TX 78711-3087 or electronically at www.tceq.texas.gov/about/comments.html within 30 days from the date of newspaper publication of this notice. AGENCY CONTACTS AND INFORMATION.

PHS defense forces two fumbles, collects an interception
continued from page 1B
Julio Vazquez nailed the point after attempt and Princeton had a 7-0 lead at just about the halfway mark of the first quarter. Ford’s next possession was marred by a chop block penalty and an intentional grounding call that forced them to punt from their own 5-yard line. For the second straight drive, Princeton started with excellent field position. They went back to their ground game, but when three straight runs netted minus four yards, it was time to go to the air. Strickland dropped back in the pocket and found Mayfield for a short pass that Mayfield turned in to a 39-yard gain, moving the ball to the Ford 4-yard line. After another rushing attempt went for minus yardage, Strickland went back to the air and this time threw a perfect touch pass to Stevan Molina in the back of the end zone. Vazquez booted the point after attempt through again and Princeton’s lead grew to 14 points. Ford finally found some rhythm with their third drive. Not being a passing team (they finished the night 6-14 for only 83 yards), they instead used the “ground and pound” methodology. Runs by Blane Burch and Dillon Norris, along with two quarterback keepers by Linus Beierschmitt gave Ford their second first down of the quarter as time expired. The ground attack continued in the second period as Norris rushed twice, followed by gains from Edgar Aguillon and Tyler Trail. Another rush by Burch re-
sulted in a first down on the Princeton 38-yard line. Two runs by Darion Rodriguez and another QB keeper by Beierschmitt gave Ford another first down, this one at the Princeton 19-yard line. Princeton’s defense decided that was enough as Templeman forced his second fumble of the game, this time recovering it to give possession to Princeton on their 23-yard line. Strickland hit Maika Brinkerhoff with a pass, kept it himself for a 6-yard gain, and then found Kai Brinkerhoff for a 15yard gain that gave Princeton a first down on their 40-yard line. Two plays later Strickland hooked up with Molina again, this time for a big 36-yard gain that had the Panthers sitting just outside of the red zone. A run by Flores pushed the ball inside of the red zone (20yard line) and it looked like Princeton would score again. However, a run for a loss and an incomplete pass left the Panthers with a fourth down on Ford’s 18-yard line. Foregoing a very makeable field goal attempt, Princeton instead went for the first down via pass, but the pass was incomplete and Ford took over on downs. It looked like Ford would capitalize on that decision as they moved the ball rapidly down field in the closing minute of the first half. Seven plays later, highlighted by a 26yard pass from Beierschmitt to Dustin Fulbright coupled with a late hit penalty called on Princeton, Ford had the ball on the Princeton 14-yard line. Once again the defense bent but didn’t break as Templeman forced the third Ford fumble of the half. He fell on the ball for
his second fumble recovery of the quarter, thus sending both teams to their locker rooms with a halftime score of Princeton 14, Ford 0. Princeton came out of the locker room firing on all cylinders as they took the second half kickoff and marched straight downfield. Flores ran the ball twice for 18 total yards, taking the Panthers into Ford territory. One rush by Woodfaulk gained 32 yards, another went 14 yards, and the third rush was the charm as Woodfaulk crashed into paydirt for his first touchdown of the game. A rare point after miss left Princeton with a 20-0 lead with 10:48 left to play in the third quarter. Ford moved the ball downfield on their next possession. Five rushes gained 28 yards and then a pass interference call against Princeton gave Ford a first down near midfield. Two Ford passes netted 29 yards and now Ford was on Princeton’s 18-yard line. Five plays later Burch burst in from a yard out for a score. Gio Landeverde hit the point after attempt and the third quarter ended with the score of Princeton 20, Ford 7. The final frame would prove to make the game interesting as the teams would combine for five scores. Princeton opened the fourth quarter party with a successful 22-yard field goal by Vazquez that was set up by an excellent kickoff return of 75 yards by Flores. Score was now Princeton 23, Ford 7. Ford made their first drive of the final period count as they needed seven plays to score as

Princeton Panthers salute the playing of the school song before the start of last Friday’s game at Quinlan Ford. Burch turned a 31-yard run into his second touchdown of the game. Burch then took the twopoint conversion handoff and crashed into the end zone to cut the lead to 23-15. Princeton recovered the ensuing onside kick attempt by Ford and wasted no time in putting the game away. Flores ran for six yards and Mayfield caught a 4-yard pass from Strickland for a first down. Strickland then threw a dart in the flats to Molina, who raced into the end zone from 40 yards away for his second touchdown of the game. Vazquez’s kick was true and Princeton stretched their lead to 15 points. Ford could muster nothing more as their final two possessions of the game resulted in a net of two yards gained. A sack by the Princeton defense and an interception by
Woodfaulk effectively ended the game. Princeton would add an insurance touchdown when Flores rushed 36 yards straight up the gut, untouched, for his second touchdown of the game enroute to a district opening win. Subvarsity report The junior varsity and sophomore started district play against visiting Ford. The JV won 37-7 and sophomore faced the Panthers. Up next Thursday is a trip to Paris. Junior high report Clark kicked off district action versus Ford. The seventh-grade A fell 20-6 and B won 32-6. The eighth A lost 32-30 and B was victorious 26-18.

PHARMACY TOPICS Breast cancer patients undergoing treatment with trastuzumab-containing regimens should be monitored for heart damage regardless of age. This is among the findings of a new study published recently in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. Trastuzumabcontaining regimens (commonly marketed as Herceptin) for breast cancer have significantly improved survival for breast cancer patients. However, this treatment is known to carry a risk of congestive heart failure which is particularly of concern when used along with anthracyclines (another class of drugs). Accordingly, treatment guidelines generally advise careful monitoring of older patients who are assumed to be at higher risk of heart events. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Adlyxin (lixisenatide), a once-daily injection to improve glycemic control (blood sugar levels), along with diet
and exercise, in adults with type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes affects more than 29 million people and accounts for more than 90 percent of diabetes cases diagnosed in the United States. Over time, high blood sugar levels can increase the risk for serious complications, including heart disease, blindness and nerve and kidney damage.

Women undergo more cesarean sections each year in the United States than any other major surgery, with the procedure carrying a significant rate of infection at the incision site. A new study in The New England Journal of Medicine suggests that rather than prepping patients with iodine-alcohol – a common antiseptic combination in C-sections – the research indicates that chlorhexidine-alcohol is significantly more effective. The researchers argue that the evidence is strong enough to change standard skin-prep practices for C-sections.

They also have a massive offensive line and a smaller quicker quarterback than last season.” They were picked to finish second in 7-4A Div. I behind Liberty-Eylau, by Dave Campbell’s Texas Football magazine. Also making the postseason cut were Princeton and Paris North Lamar. With Anna and
Quinlan Ford outside the top four. One season ago, Paris went 6-5 overall, were 2-3 for fourth in district and fell 37-21 to Kaufman in the opening round of the Class 4A Div. I playoffs.

Rural resident charged with murder
By Wyndi Veigel News Editor

Sliced across the throat, Cook still could be seen on camera applying pressure to Fredrick Oswald, a Walmart vendor who was also stabbed as the fire chief was yelling at people to get out of the store as quickly as possible.

A 21-year-old Collin County man is in jail under $250,000 bond in connection with the death of his wife at a rural residence between New Hope and McKinney. Murder charges were filed against Jordan Andrew Sullivan, 1834 CR 329, on Sunday, Oct. 30, after he contacted the Collin County Sheriff’s Office to report the death. A report filed by CCSO shows that the 21-year-old told officers that he had shot his wife, Kayley Kathryn Winburn at their residence. Deputies along with Princeton Police officers went to the address and found the body of a female, identified as Winburn, with a gunshot wound.

North Texas Municipal Water District conducted tours Friday, Nov. 4, at its main facilities in Wylie to show officials from member cities the process of drawing water from a lake and treating it for consumption by customers. The tours marked the 60th anniversary since NTMWD began operations Nov. 8, 1956 in Wylie. That original plant, which is still in use, had a capacity to treat 20 million gallons of water per day (MGD). Since then, the district has built three other treatment plants at its complex
in Wylie with capacity to treat up to 70 MGD. NTMWD was formed in the early 1950s during one of the worst droughts in Texas’ history when leaders of 10 cities came together with the common goal of building a regional water system. The new district built the necessary pipelines and systems to treat and transport water from Lake Lavon to Farmersville, Forney, Garland, Mesquite, Plano, Princeton, Rockwall, Royse City and Wylie, serving a combined population of 30,000. Additional member cities of Richardson, Allen and Frisco joined later and the district now See JOURNEY page 5A
Princeton Pride Marching Band takes third at state By Joe Reavis Staff Writer
news@princetonherald.com The Princeton Pride Marching Band strutted its stuff to a third place final finish Monday afternoon at the University Interscholastic League State Marching Contest in San Antonio. A total of 23 Class AAAA bands competed at the Alamodome. The bands peformed for a panel of judges for honors. This was the eighth consecutive appearance for PHS musicians at the state contest. In its last two appear-
ances, the band also claimed third place. Claiming first place in the state marching contest was North Lamar High School in Paris, and Argyle High School placed second. The Princeton Pride Marching Band took first place at the Area B marching contest hosted by Princeton High School earlier this fall. Also advancing to state from the area contest were Argyle, Canton and Wills Point. With a First Division score at the area marching contest, the band is eligible to compete for the Sweepstakes Award at concert and
sightreading competition in April. Heading the 206-member marching band this year are drum majors Natalee Hooper, Madison Bryant and Kristen Robertson. The band performed a marching program titled “Through the Eyes of a Child” that included the selections “What a Wonderful World,” “Chaos and Celebration” from the Epcot Center fireworks show, “O” from Cirque de Soleis and “Chorale and Shaker Dance” based on Simple Gift. The band was led by director Brandon Brewer.

It started with a simple tent, one that carried a message back home. A soldier in a strange land writing a message in his tent to, hopefully, be conveyed to a loved one. Soldier after soldier wrote these notes while overseas, in Vietnam especially, in hopes that someone would see them, to ease their pain and to escape through these writings. Little did they know that more than 50 years later McKinney resident and veteran supporter Cordie Everman would be discovering these messages and repurposing the tents for a cause all of her own. Fairly new to Texas, Everman started a business in Tennessee to make pet beds out of tents. Reliable, durable and virtually indestructible the tents made great beds, Everman said. But it was the leftover scraps from these beds that caused her to lose sleep at night. “I prayed one night,” she said. “I just

Three of the cases have been closed by arrest or by the return of missing items. On Oct. 26, police were dispatched to Walmart, 701 W. Princeton Drive, on a report that a man had walked out of the store without paying for a 40-inch television and a set of tools.

Treatment with testosterone improves sexual function and mood in older men with low testosterone levels, report Yale researchers. The results published by The New England Journal of Medicine were the first to convincingly show the benefits of testosterone for men over age 65, said the researchers. As men age, their testosterone levels tend to decline, leading to decreases in sexual function, mobility and energy. While testosterone has been studied as a potential treatment, the results of previous trials have been inconsistent. The researchers found that men who received testosterone therapy for one year, versus those on placebo, saw significant improvements in sexual function, including sexual activity, sexual desire, and erectile function. A new report in the journal Epilepsia suggests that use of topiramate in conjunction with other anti-epileptic drugs may enhance its propensity to
cause fetal malformations. During rehabilitation following an acute hospital stay, medications that block neurotransmitters may be overprescribed to older patients suffering from delirium superimposed on dementia, according to health researchers. Specifically, strong anticholinergic medication may be prescribed to older adults when there are other suitable options. An anticholinergic medication blocks the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the nervous system. These drugs are prescribed for a variety of symptoms, including incontinence, depression and insomnia. While their use can be very beneficial to some, they are also known to have significant adverse effects. In a study published in the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, people on anticholinergic medications had worse attention and physical function, and a longer stay at the rehab facility.

OBITUARIES • LIFE & STYLE
How to show appreciation for military personnel Military personnel are unsung heroes whose sacrifices for their country make it possible for hundreds of millions of people to enjoy freedoms that many people across the globe do not have. In recognition of those sacrifices, many people want to show their appreciation to both active and retired servicemen and women. Fortunately, there are many ways to do just that. • Pitch in at home. According to the United States Department of Defense, the United States military currently deploys active duty personnel in nearly 150 countries. Many of those troops are separated from their families for months at a time, and that separation can make things difficult for their loved ones back home. If a neighbor’s spouse is deployed overseas, offer to help around the house. Whether it’s mowing their lawn, dropping their kids off at school or inviting the whole family over for dinner one night each week, such gestures can go a long way toward easing the burden faced by spouses of deployed military personnel. • Send gifts to active personnel. Servicemen and women on active duty do not enjoy many of the luxuries that tend to be taken for granted back
home. But men and women who want to show their appreciation can send care packages to active personnel serving overseas. An organization such as Operation Gratitude (operationgratitude.com), which to date has sent nearly 1.3 million care packages to active personnel, sends care packages filled with snacks, entertainment, personal hygiene products and handmade items. This provides active personnel a taste of home while also letting them know their extraordinary efforts are appreciated and not forgotten. • Volunteer at a veterans hospital. Unfortunately, many servicemen and women return home from their deployments with injuries or health conditions that require long-term care. By volunteering at veteran hospitals, men and women can help veterans overcome their injuries and provide much-needed help to staff at hospitals that could use a helping hand. Visit volunteer. va.gov for more information. • Make a financial donation. For those who want to support servicemen and women but don’t have much free time to do so, financial donations can go a long way toward improving the quality of life of active and retired military personnel.
Many programs work with veterans to improve their quality of life, and such organizations rely heavily on financial donations to make their missions a reality. The Wounded Warrior Project (woundedwarriorproject.org), for example, works to honor and empower servicemen and women who incurred physical or mental injuries or illnesses on or after September 11, 2001. The organization relies on the generosity of individuals who want to help wounded military
personnel overcome their injuries and illnesses. Based on audited financial statements of the 2014 fiscal ending on September 30, 2014, 80.6 percent of total expenditures went to services and programs catering to wounded military personnel and their families, assuring prospective donors that their donations will go toward helping those in need. There are many ways that civilians can express their gratitude to active and retired military personnel.
Veterans Day facts and figures
Veterans Day, once known as Armistice Day, was first celebrated on November 11, 1919, the anniversary of the end of World War I. In 1928, the United States Congress passed a resolution for Armistice Day to be an annual observation, and by 1938, the day became a national holiday. Differing from Memorial Day in May, Armistice Day, which would be renamed Veterans Day in 1954 under President Dwight Eisenhower, pays tribute to veterans who survived various wars. Memorial Day commemorates those veterans who lost their lives. Americans celebrate Veterans Day, while residents of Great Britain, Canada and Australia celebrate Remembrance Day. Those who want to learn more about Veterans Day can consider the
following facts. • According to the American Community Survey, there were 19.3 million military veterans in the United States in 2014. Of those, 1.6 million were female. • California, Texas and Florida comprise the states with the largest number of veterans, equalling one million or more. • Veterans consist of people who served in the military. This includes the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard. Veterans serve in times of war and peace. • The word “veteran” comes from the Old English language and means “old, experienced soldier.” The first use of the word was documented in 1789. • Although many veterans are working, and the average an-
nual income of male veterans is $37,000, some veterans continue to be unemployed. According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the overall unemployment rate for veterans rose to 7.6 percent in January 2013. The unemployment rate of post-9/11 veterans or those who participated in the Gulf War reached 6.2 percent. • Upon retiring or being discharged, veterans may need help acclimating to life outside the military. The Department of Veterans Affairs says about 30 percent of Vietnam War veterans have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. • Between 1971 and 1977, Veterans Day was celebrated on the fourth Monday in October. It was changed back to its original
date, November 11, in 1975 when President Gerald Ford signed bill S.331 into law. The change went into effect beginning in 1978. • An American soldier was buried at the national cemetery in Arlington on November 11, 1921. His identity was unknown, and the gravesite is known as the “Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.” A guard from the Society of the Honor Guard stands watch over the grave each year on Veterans Day, and the president or another high-ranking member of the government places a wreath on the grave. Veterans Day occurs each year on November 11, marking the end of World War I. The day has evolved into a celebration and remembrance of the heroism of America’s brave soldiers.

More travelers seeking terrorism coverage
By Lynne Peters
Cancel for any reason coverage explained: The most reliable way to be covered for terrorism is to purchase your plan as early as possible and invest in a plan that includes Cancel for Any Reason coverage. This coverage has several eligibility requirements, including a time-sensitive purchase window after you have made your initial trip payment. It should be noted that Cancel for Any Reason benefits typically allow you to cancel your trip up to two days prior to the scheduled departure date, and in most cases, reimburse up to 75% of your pre-paid, non-refundable trip cost. Cancel for Any Reason coverage could be vital if traveling to an area of the world that is prone to civil disorder or terrorism. Due to the commonality of incidents, any event would most likely be seen as a “known peril”, thus voiding coverage for standard trip cancellation. Also, Cancel for Any Reason coverage would allow you to cancel a trip due to terrorism if you purchased your plan after a terrorism travel alert or warning has been issued by the U.S. government. Any plan purchased after a travel alert or warning is issued would not cover terrorism as a reason for trip cancellation. How terrorism coverage works under most comprehensive travel insurance plans: Most comprehensive travel insurance plans include, in their coverage for trip cancellation and interruption, some mention of coverage for terrorist acts. With this coverage, you would theoretically be able to cancel or interrupt your travel plans if an act of terrorism occurred in your destination city within a certain number of days of your scheduled arrival. This time frame varies by plan and provider, but in general, can be anywhere from 7 to 30 days. How terrorism is defined:
While the definition may vary depending on which plan and provider you’ve chosen, there are two basic ways that travel insurance companies define “terrorist acts.” In any case, travelers should understand that even if there is some kind of violent, frightening civil discord occurring in a country to which they are scheduled to travel, it may not be covered under their travel insurance plan’s definition of “terrorism.” The United States government must declare the situation in question to have been an act of terrorism. A clear distinction must be made between terrorism and “civil disorder or riot”, and usually stipulates that the incident must not have been an act of war, whether declared or undeclared. Terrorism coverage restrictions: In order to be eligible for coverage against terrorist acts, you will likely have to meet some expectations on the part of the travel insurance company as far as dates and geography are concerned. For example, your travel insurance policy will likely state that coverage only extends to terrorist acts that have occurred within a certain number of days of your scheduled departure, so make sure to read your plan details carefully. Also, if a terrorist act has occurred in your destination city prior to your purchase of a travel insurance policy, it will likely be considered a “known peril” – which would mean that you would not be eligible for coverage if you chose to cancel your trip as a result of that terrorist incident (unless you are eligible for Cancel for Any Reason coverage). Lastly, depending upon the plan you’ve purchased, you’ll need to be familiar with whether the coverage applies only to a city that is specifically on your itinerary, or whether it also extends to outlying regions or to the country as a whole.

It’s time to look at your health care coverage for 2017
Now’s the time to check your health care coverage for 2017 or sign up for the first time. Open enrollment through the Health Insurance Marketplace began on Nov. 1 and runs until Jan. 31. Here are six key facts to know about this year’s enrollment season. Your actual premium costs probably aren’t as high as you’ve heard. More than seven in 10 Texans with coverage through the marketplace will be able to find a health plan for less than $75 per month, thanks to financial assistance. If your income falls below 400 percent of the federal poverty level – that’s $48,000 for one person or $97,000 for a family of four – you’ll qualify for federal tax credits that will help make your coverage affordable. About eight in 10 marketplace consumers in Texas are eligible. Because the tax credits increase dollar for dollar with the cost of a benchmark health plan, most consumers are protected from rate increases. Also, if you’re buying an individual health plan but not through the marketplace, you’d be wise to visit healthcare.gov and recheck your eligibility for the tax credits. An estimated 252,000 Texans who purchased coverage outside the marketplace and paid full price for it last year have incomes low enough to qualify for assistance. All consumers still have

hospitals participate in the plan you’re considering. Deductibles can often be made more manageable. Most marketplace consumers qualify for financial assistance that lowers their deductibles -- the median marketplace deductible is now $850. All plans cover some preventive services, such as cancer screenings, vaccines and wellchild visits, without a deductible. And eight in 10 marketplace consumers select plans that cover common health services, such as primary care visits, generic drugs and some specialist visits, before meeting the deductible. Instead of bearing the full cost of your doctor visit, you may have just a copayment. There are places to turn for help with signing up. Besides relying on healthcare.gov, you can call 1-800318-2596 and visit with a marketplace customer service representative. You can also visit localhelp.healthcare.gov to locate the organizations in your community that will assist you in signing up for coverage. Open enrollment runs until Jan. 31. But you must act by Dec. 15 if you want any changes in your coverage to take effect on Jan. 1. Don’t risk paying a penalty of $695 or more because you go uninsured next year. Check out your options at healthcare.gov. Plans may be more affordable than you think.
States, lawmakers file briefs in support of Texas’ voter ID law
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Sept. 23 filed a petition on behalf of the State of Texas, asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reinstate the Texas voter ID law. On Oct. 31, Paxton announced that a coalition of states and members of Congress had filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the United States Supreme Court, in support of Texas’ voter identification law that passed in 2011 as Senate Bill 14. “Our democracy does not work unless voters have confidence that election results are not skewed by fraud,” Paxton said, alleging the existence of a nationwide voter-fraud problem. The coalition in support of the Texas voter ID law includes the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah and West Virginia. The states’ brief concludes, “There is no reason to

state sales tax revenue totaled $2.29 billion in October, 0.2 percent more than the amount reported in October 2015. “Opposing trends in consumer and business spending resulted in slight overall growth in state sales tax revenue,” Hegar said. He added that continued declines in collections from the mining, manufacturing and wholesale trade sectors, reflecting the subdued level of drilling for oil and natural gas production, were offset by significant gains from retail trade and restaurants. Total sales tax revenue for the three months ending in October 2016 was down by 2.1 percent compared to the same period a year ago, Hegar said. Sales tax revenue is the largest source of state funding for the state budget, accounting for 58 percent of all tax collections. Motor vehicle sales and rental taxes, motor fuel taxes and oil and natural gas production taxes
also are large revenue sources for the state, according to the comptroller’s office. Straus lauds TEA decision Texas House Speaker Joe Straus on Nov. 2 welcomed the Texas Education Agency’s announcement last week that it is halting the use of one indicator in a special education monitoring system. Concerns had been raised that the 12-year-old indicator, which was designed to ensure that schools did not put students into special education when it wasn’t warranted, had actually been used by some school districts to keep students out of special education, according to the speaker’s office. In late October, Straus urged Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath to suspend use of the indicator so that the education agency and legislators could work together in the 2017 legislative session to make sure students get the services they need.
“This is good news for Texas families,” Straus said in a news release. “TEA’s decision will give the agency time to work with legislators and others to make sure students get the services they need.” Performance data posted Texas Education Commissioner Morath on Nov. 3 announced the availability of preliminary 2015–2016 Texas Academic Performance Reports on tea.texas.gov, the Texas Education Agency website. The reports, Morath said, provide a wide range of performance information for every public school and district in the state. The campus-level, district-level, regional and statewide reports combine details of academic performance with information about staff, programs and demographics. The final version, following the resolution of district appeals of preliminary ratings, is scheduled for release by Dec. 2.

Journey of Water tour presented to participants Angel Tree continued from 1A
supplies water to more than 1.6 million North Texas residents in nearly 90 communities across 10 counties. And, that population is expected to double over the next 50 years. “Water is the essential foundation allowing our communities to thrive,” NTMWD Executive Director Tom Kula said. “And, our first water treatment plant has been the workhorse since the beginning.” To keep the Wylie plant operating another 30 years, the district is spending more than $30 million for a series of rehabilitation projects. “This is a prime example of our need to invest in aging infrastructure while building new projects to support our fast-growing region,” Kula said. Over the years, NTMWD secured water rights from Lake Texoma, Lake Cooper/ Chapman and Lake Tawakoni. Additional water is piped to Lavon for eventual treatment and reuse from the Trinity River in Kaufman County, after being naturally filtered through a series of constructed wetlands.
To further enlarge capacity, NTMWD is in the process of securing permits to build a new water source, Lower Bois d’Arc Creek Reservoir in Fannin County, at an estimated cost of $1.2 billion. The Journey of Water tour last week took participants through the Wylie facility from lake to tap so that they would better understand the water treatment process. Steps in the process are raw water sources, such as Lake Lavon, pump stations to move water from lakes to treatment facilities, removal of sediment, disinfection, filtration and distribution. It takes 14 pump stations to move millions of gallons of water daily through the system. The four pump stations for Lake Lavon consist of 18 engines, each with 18 horsepower that, individually, are capable of moving 35-85 million of gallons of water daily. The first step in processing water is in sedimentation basins where ferric sulfate (an iron compound) attaches to suspended solids that then sink to the bottom and clarified water is removed. The sediment is recovered, hauled away and
used as an iron-rich soil enhancer on farms. Primary disinfection involves electronically treating water with ozone which largely has replaced treating water with chlorine. The Wylie facility operates four ozonated water treatment plants, the largest such facility in Texas. The plants are capable of treating up to 770 million gallons of water per day. Some chlorine treatment is still used as a secondary disinfectant and on water that is pumped the farthest distances from the treatment plant. Filtration is the final cleaning process and involves running treated water through filters to remove any remaining particles. Distribution is through 566 miles of pipelines connecting treatment plants to customers. NTMWD calculates that with all the processes, clean water is produced at a cost of about one-fourth of a cent per gallon. From 1993 to 2001, the district held water rates relatively flat while population in the area increased by about 250,000. In the past few years, though, NTMWD has had to
raise water rates to its customers to cover increasing, and unanticipated, costs. The ozone filtration system was mandated by federal authorities and installation of the system cost the district $127 million. To deal with an infestation of zebra mussels in Lake Texoma, from where the district gets a third of its water, cost $312 million. The zebra mussel project presents an interesting scenario. A redrawing of the TexasOklahoma border moved the NTMWD intake facility at Lake Texoma partly into Oklahoma and it is illegal to transport an invasive species across state lines. A pipeline had to be built, instead of utilizing natural waterways, to transport the water for treatment. The annual budget for the district is $459 million. NTMWD employs about 750 people and its Wylie site sits on 500 acres. Informational displays set up for the tour covered the topics of watershed management, environmental services, conservation, wetlands, global information service mapping, wastewater and maintenance.
Three burglary, theft cases closed recently continued from 1A
employee he walked away and loaded the items into a car. Officer Isidro Trevino reported that he reviewed a store video of the incident and obtained a license plate number for the vehicle. No arrest has been made. A theft at Family Dollar Store, 302 W. Princeton Drive, was reported on Oct. 28 and resulted in the arrest of Seth Ray Binion, 33, on charges of theft and failure to identify. The incident was reported by a store employee who identified the suspect as white male wearing red pajama pants and a long sleeve shirt. Officer Clinton Hauck located the man outside the automotive section at Walmart and questioned him about the theft report. Hauck said that the man carried no identification, but told the officer his name, which
turned out to be false. Hauck retrieved a 7-inch computer tablet valued at $50 and issued a theft citation. However, he encountered the same suspect a short time later and took him to McKinney because there were no charges other than the citation. The officer, though, found out later that the name he was given by the suspect was false and Binion is now being sought as a fugitive. Officer Kyle Strickland responded to a burglary report on Oct. 28 at 187 Prairie Creek Circle and interviewed a 16-year-old male who discovered that his bedroom window was open and that several items were missing from the house. Three days later, Strickland reported that the items have been returned and the victim declined to provide information on possible suspects. “As the holidays get closer we want to make sure peo-
ple secure their belongings,” Princeton Police Chief James Waters said. On Oct. 29, Officer Chance Alexander was dispatched to a residence at 316 Crosscreek Drive in reference to a report of the theft of cash and a check out of a vehicle. Alexander reported that he spoke with the victim, Derrel Eugene Templeman, and determined the pickup truck in which the items were stolen had been unlocked. Templeman told the officer that there was $2,368 in cash in a bank envelope and a check for $100 and that he had made several stops between the bank and his residence. However, the victim said he believed the theft occurred after he returned home. Another $700 in cash was still inside the vehicle. A theft of cash out of another unlocked vehicle was reported to police on Nov. 5 at 1506 Wild Rye Circle by Jose Alfredo Gar-
cia, 36. The victim told Officer David Tolar that he was working the Wild Rye Circle residence, has placed the cash above a visor and discovered it missing when he quit work for the day. Garcia told the officer that $3,460 in mixed denomination bills was taken. Questioning by Toler of other workers in the area failed to turn up any information into the theft. Also on Nov. 5, Hauck responded to a home burglary report at 186 Tanglewood Drive where he met with homeowner Kenneth Ragan Shoemaker III, 48, who showed the officer that the back door to the home had been forced open, breaking the doorframe. Nothing was found to be missing from the residence. “It is extremely important for residents to lock their vehicles, houses and not to leave anything valuable in plain sight,” he said.
program now underway From Staff Reports
news@princetonherald.com It’s already time to begin shopping and adopting for this year’s Angel Tree Program as the local Lions Club is geared up to provide a special holiday for the less fortunate children and families in Princeton. “We have a number of students that might go without Christmas if we did not reach out to them,” said Superintendent Philip Anthony. “There’s no other civic organization besides the Lions Club that is set up to help and target the Princeton area exclusively.” Applications are being accepted on each Princeton campus for children who can benefit from this charitable effort. These will be verified using information from the free and reduced meal program, as well as recommendations from counselors regarding new circumstances. The deadline for applications is Thursday, Dec. 1. All Angel applications are reviewed on a firstcome, first-served basis. Angel Tree adoptions are underway beginning Monday, Nov. 7. “For the past eight years, we’ve always been able to assist every eligible applicant,” Anthony said. “I’m always concerned the year may come where we may not.” In just two weeks, there are already 134 students and 48 families approved for the program. According to Anthony, the numbers typically increase from year to year. Last year, 534 children were adopted through Angel Tree. “Last year, the numbers were up from the year before,” he said. “It’s always a big growth, and if it grows that way again, I don’t see any possible way we could help everyone that needs it. We were scraping until the last minute to get every child taken care of last year.” The superintendent said community support plays a big role in getting every child adopted. The City of Princeton joins Citizens Bank, Independent Bank and
Golden Chick with Angel Trees in those locations. “Without the extra assistance from the community, many children may go without a nice Christmas,” Anthony said. “The district employees do a great job in stepping up to help. Many make payroll contributions, and lots of the teachers and coaches get the students in their programs to help by donating to the Angel Tree.” Groups such as FCA, PALs, cheer and National Honor Society adopt the Angel Tree program as a community service project. Each member brings toys or clothes or they shop together as a group. It also takes manpower to get the gifts ready for delivery. The PISD boardroom was transformed into Santa’s workshop last year as students and church and community members came over to volunteer their time to get presents wrapped. Deliveries to families will begin Tuesday, Dec. 13. Procedures for adopting an angel include: Call 469-952-5400 or e-mail contacts: Melinda McDonald mmcdonald@princetonisd.net or Amy Ivy aivy@princetonisd.net or stop by the Administration Office at 321 Panther Pkwy. - Guideline: Spend approximately $60 per child. - Clearly mark all presents with the Family and Child number from the adoption form. - Return your wrapped presents to the Auxiliary Services Building by Monday, Dec. 12. - If someone cannot afford to adopt an Angel on their own, pair up with a group. - Make a monetary donation at any campus, administration office, Citizens Bank or Independent Bank (checks payable to Princeton Lions Club); or - Sponsor a portion of a child by selecting from the Angel Tree at either Golden Chick, Citizens Bank, Independent Bank or the City of Princeton. Individual items, including toys or clothing, will be available.

First responders treated to thank you lunch continued from 1A both the police and fire departments Nov. 7 in a barbecue lunch. “ I want to thank you again for what you and your officers did for me in such a stressful environment. What happened July 13 would have overwhelmed most departments no matter their size. The active shooter type scenario is all too real today, and you handled the incident superbly. I was very impressed at
the bravery, professionalism and restraint shown by you and your officers that day,” Cook said to Princeton Police Chief James Waters. “I am so glad I joined the Fire Service years ago because there is no way I could do what you do. I can’t imagine the stress that all my Brothers in Blue experience on a daily basis. Our jobs are similar in nature, as we both provide protection for our citizens but in far different ways.”

Collection efforts underway PISD schools participating in food drive
From Staff Reports
news@princetonherald.com Although Thanksgiving is a time for expressing thanks, it’s also a holiday for eating in excess. Food drive organizers are asking residents to make a donation to one of the food drives underway at each campus in Princeton ISD. The collection efforts are part of the annual Angel Tree program that provides toys and clothes to families in need. Each campus is conducting food drives to assist with this initiative. Food drives will conclude by Dec. 5 to allow time to sort and organize items. Local minister Todd Boddy is organizing this year’s food drive efforts with the help of each campus, as well as the auxiliary services employees. Organizers say student participation in the food drive is important because it sends a message to kids about civic responsibility and caring. The students also realize the significance of charitable giving. “It brings students together for a better cause and helps those who really need it,” said junior Alyssa Rivera, who is a member of PALs, which is organizing the campus effort at PHS this year. “Plus it’s a fun competition between classes and makes people feel good about what they are doing.” Making food drives a group effort or competition really fuels the fire. “It’s a really good team bonding project,” Alyssa said. “Whether it’s a class, PALs, a sports team or an organization, it works to bring us together when we’re collecting food, shopping or wrapping presents.” Christ Cares for Princeton, which operates the local food pantry out of Faith Baptist Church, offers these recommendations for food donations
based on needs: Canned vegetables and fruit Dry cereal Oatmeal Pancake mix and syrup Sugar Dried rice Dried pinto beans Canned tomato/spaghetti sauce Pasta Boxed mac and cheese Hamburger/tuna helper Peanut butter Jelly Cooking oil Ketchup/mayo/mustard Crackers Pork ‘n beans Soups Canned tuna/chicken/spam Canned/bottled juice Ramen noodles Cornbread mixes Pudding/jello/cake mixes Diapers/wipes Donations are being accepted on each campus throughout Princeton. How to donate is listed below. Princeton High Donations are being accepted Nov. 7 through Dec. 2. The class with the most collections will win a pizza party. Clark Jr. High Student Council and NJHS are sponsoring a food drive until Dec. 4. There will be a box in each teacher’s classroom and prizes will be awarded to the top three classes overall. Students need to deliver their canned good donations to their 5th-period teacher. Huddleston Intermediate Huddleston’s food drive is Nov. 7-Dec. 1. The contest will be between the 5th-period classes. The class that brings the most items will receive a prize for participating. Godwin Elementary Donate food through homeroom classes until Dec. 5. Last year, more than 4,000 cans were collected to break the school record so students want
to shatter that record. The class with the most donations wins an extra recess. Harper Elementary Harper is going all out and hosting its second annual “Food Fight: Knockout Hunger” until Nov. 30. Homeroom teachers will collect food items and place them in their box outside their room each morning. The office will collect and tally points each day. All food collected will be displayed on the stage. Each day during announcements, the top 10 leader board will be announced. The “Golden Gloves” will hang outside the class atop the leaderboard each day. The classroom with the most points at the end of the day Nov. 30 will win a pizza party and spirit sticks. These are knock-out round items and are worth more points on the designated days: Round 1: Oct. 31-Nov. 4: Pancake mix, syrup and jelly Round 2: Nov. 7-11: Canned pasta dinners (Spaghetti-os, etc.) and canned pasta sauces Round 3: Nov. 14-18: Canned soups/stews/chili and saltine crackers Round 4: Nov. 21-30: Canned meats (spam, tuna, chicken, etc.) and Hamburger Helper Lacy Elementary Lacy students can take donations to their homeroom teacher Nov. 7-18.

American Past Tents makes different items out of Vietnam-era tents. However, more importantly, they show love for veterans and active duty personnel by donating these items to troops overseas and to the VA hospital.
Local seamstress puts passion to honor veterans to work continued from 1A
Everman also makes keychains showcasing the various military branches, police and fire departments. As the creator of American Past Tents, Everman said she has found numerous messages throughout the years and tries daily to convey one of her own to veterans, especially those that fought in the Vietnam War. That they matter and are loved. Many veterans and active duty personnel often wander through Everman’s booth when she sets it up at festivals and shows, perhaps drawn by the symbols and homes that were once so familiar to them. That’s when the fun starts, she said, as veteran after veteran shares their stories with her. “Some of them aren’t easy to hear,” she said. “I often end up crying with them or even for them.” The seamstress often wonders if it’s because they know they will never see her again and can be honest with her. Others share funny and happy memories often related to tents they slept under during times of war or even on top of during chaotic events. “It’s not just a job, it’s a privilege to be able to say thank you and in some cases share the
‘Welcome Home’ they never received,” she said. Though Everman does run her business for profit, she also believes in philanthropy and gives back by making stockings, once again from tent scraps, to send to those deployed overseas to Afghanistan. Stuffing the stockings with little bits of home comforts such as shaving cream, paper, pens and even food items, she makes sure they know they are loved and missed. Everman also created smaller tote type bags for veterans at the VA hospital to use to carry items such as their cellphones or other goodies. “They can just strap them to their walkers or carry them and use them as they see fit,” she
said. Since Vietnam-era tents aren’t just lying around, one might be interested to know how she comes by the tents. “After the Vietnam war a cargo plane full of tents pulled into a warehouse in Tennessee and that’s where they’ve stayed,” she said. “We’ve just been lucky enough to get to use them.” Those interested in Everman’s work can visit her on Facebook by searching for American Past Tents, emailing americanpasttents@gmail.com or by calling her at 469-500-5847. Without a doubt, Everman’s love for veterans isn’t in the past tense and she strives to show her appreciation to them each and every day.

Panthers look to avenge non-district defeat
Bi-district opponent Van beat Princeton first time around By David Jenkins Staff Writer
sports@princetonherald.com ROYSE CITY – Princeton football will face a familiar opponent in the bi-district round of the Class 4A Div.
Staff Writer
sports@princetonherald.com Things will look a little bit different for Princeton girls basketball this season. Under first-year head coach Meaghan Hodapp, the Lady Panthers offense will be fast paced. Hodapp took over for Bobby Bates, whom retired at the end of last school year. Helping out in the transition are returnees Shay Veal, Shelbi Cook, Jimma Chapman, Natalee Hooper, Ashton Brannum and Ryleigh Aungst. New additions are Nakeitra Mack (move-in), Tristan Lloyd, Miakka Winters, Alyssa Rivera, Nia Crawford and Amanda Peters. “I think our team has key returners that are really helping our new varsity players with guidance. We have moved more to a running team than in the past, so it’s an adjustment, but the girls have done a great job in the offseason learning one another and adjusting to a new offense and defense,” Hodapp said. All of those will be challenging for a playoff spot in the new District 11-4A. In that grouping are Anna, Aubrey, Bonham, Celina, Princeton and Quinlan Ford. “I’m really curious to see how the district is going to pan out. I believe we have an expectation ahead of us to get another district championship and I believe doing the little things will get us there.” Hodapp said. Princeton opens the season 1:30 p.m. Saturday on the road against Whitewright. They remain on the road Nov. 15 for a 6 p.m. non-district contest at Ponder. Games left before district are with Gunter (5 p.m. Nov. 22) and Gainesville (4:30 p.m. Nov. 26), at Sherman (6:30 p.m. Nov. 29), with Howe (7 p.m. Dec. 6 on Parent’s Night), Paris (6:15 p.m. Dec. 13), Sanger (7:30 p.m. Dec. 16) and Glen Rose (2:30 p.m. Jan. 3 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas). The Lady Panthers will also compete in the Fairfield Invitational (Dec. 1-3), host the Princeton Invitational (Dec. 8-10) and travel to the Keller Central Tournament (Dec. 2931).

Shelbi Cook sets up a play at the net against Argyle during an area round match at Frisco Lone Star.
Princeton volleyball wrapped up the 2016 campaign just last week. The Lady Panthers ended up 17-17 overall and took third place 5-5 at in District 11-4A. “It was truly a season of
early downs due to prolonged injuries to key players, but we rallied late to fight on the last day of district and place third, we defeated a winning team in Kaufman, and competed to win in a tough match against Argyle,” head coach Maurice Lock said. “Most important to me was the strengthening of our relationships as a team of caring people, that truly grew in confidence and ability. Those young ladies are amazing and they worked hard for themselves and each other. We won about as many See TEAM page 4B
ROUND ROCK – All the hard work has paid off for sophomore Athena Kirby. The sophomore will partake Saturday in the Class 4A state meet. “I am very excited for her. She is a hard worker and deserves this honor. I know she will go and compete hard,” girls head coach Maurice Hill said. That race, slated for 8:30 a.m., kicks things off at Old Settlers Park. The day concludes at 3:10 p.m. with the 3A girls competition. Kirby advanced to the years final race after clocking a 12:15.58 for 21st place in the 4A Region II meet at Lynn Creek Park in Grand Prairie. As a team the Panthers pounced on 10th. Making state in the top four were Kaufman, Decatur, Canton and Argyle. Kirby made it to regionals after crossing the line in eighth on a mark of 14:37.30 at the District 11-4A meet in Anna at Adventure Camp. The sophomore is the second Lady Panther in as many seasons that will travel to Round Rock. One year ago, Jaymee Dotson won the 4A race in 12:12.82. Before that she took titles at the 4A Region II and 12-4A meets. She was the second runner in Princeton school history to win a gold medal. The other was Mitchell Driver, who took the top spot back in 2005 in the old 3A.

Purdon scores pair of fourth quarter touchdowns
continued from page 1B
the Coyotes only nine yards and gave Princeton great field position on the Anna 34-yard line. However, three incomplete passes and a false start penalty was all the Panthers could muster, so they punted the ball back to the Coyotes. After the pooch kick, Anna started drive two on their 16. They kept to the ground came and pounded away at the Panther defense. Twelve plays later, Rose plowed into the end zone from 1-yard out to complete the 84yard drive that took up the rest of the first quarter. Kaleb Stewart hit the point after attempt and the ball game was tied 7-7. Princeton began their next drive deep in their own end zone and soon faced a 3rd and long. Kai Brinkerhoff kept the drive alive with a great catch that was first tipped by the defense. The 17-yard pass from Brendon Strickland gave the Panthers a first down. A 34-yard jaunt by Purdon gave Princeton back-toback first downs and it looked like the drive would have good results. However, the next five plays would gain only 14 yards, and two penalties set the Panthers back 15 yards and Princeton turned the ball over on downs. The Coyotes were forced to punt the back to the Panthers and Princeton started moving the ball downfield once again. Two nice passes by Strickland, one to Brinkerhoff and the other to Stevan Molina had the Panthers nearing midfield. Disaster struck two plays later when Rose, playing linebacker, stripped the Princeton ball carrier and ran 50 yards for a Coyote touchdown. Stewart’s kick was good and Anna had their first lead of the game 14-7. A nice return by Quinton
Goodwin gave Princeton the ball at midfield. Strickland dropped back and hit Mayfield with a 9-yard dart. On the next play, Strickland threw the ball on a line into the open arms of Flores for a 41yard touchdown. Vasquez booted the ball through the uprights and the game was tied again, this time at 14 each. Anna fumbled the ball on the first play of the ensuing drive and Princeton made them pay as Vasquez hit a 34-yard field goal as the first half clock hit zeroes to send the Panthers to the locker room with a 17-14 lead. The Coyotes came out on fire and dominated the third quarter. Their first drive was a seven-play drive that ended with Rose scoring his second rushing touchdown and Anna took the lead back 21-17. The next Coyote possession only lasted three plays, but ended with another touchdown, this one by Crosby. Anna was up 28-17 with just over six minutes left in the quarter. The Panthers finally found their groove again and began to gain yards. Their next possession would last into the final quarter. In total, the drive lasted for 11 plays. It started with four straight runs by Purdon and ended with four straight runs by Purdon, the last run ending in the end zone. Purdon kept the ball one more time and scored the two-point conversion to narrow the Coyote lead to 28-25. Princeton’s defense rose to the occasion and forced Anna to punt on a fourth down and one from the Coyote 34-yard line. The Panthers had momentum on their side now and rode that momentum, via the legs of Purdon, to another rushing touchdown.

Princeton players and coaches celebrate following the 35-34 win over Anna last Friday. Vasquez’s kick was true and Princeton was back on top 3228 with 5:50 left in the game. Anna’s Crosby ran three times for 15 yards and a first down and then found Donald Maloid on a pass that gained 21 yards and another first down. A personal foul penalty called against the Panthers gave Anna 15 more yards and put the ball on the Princeton 24-yard line. An illegal procedure call against Anna moved the ball back five yards, but Crosby took the next snap from center and raced into the end zone for his second score of the night. The point after attempt was blocked, with 3:34 left, Anna was back on top 34-32.
The Panthers started off the final drive on their 34-yard line. Two rushes by Purdon gained 16 yards and a first down, but also took time of the clock. An incomplete pass by Purdon stopped the clock. Two more rushes ran more time off the clock and put the ball in Anna territory. With the clock running out and the season on the line, Strickland went back under center. He took the snap, dropped back, and found Brinkerhoff once again for a big play. Their 29-yard gain gave the Panthers a first down and put them in field goal range. Two short gains by Purdon
moved the ball to the Coyote 15 where Princeton called their final time out. On to the field came Vasquez. The 29-yard field goal split the uprights for a 35-34 come from behind win.

games as we lost, but what can’t be overlooked and is even more important is the confidence and self-belief they developed and will carry them a lifetime beyond their playing years.” Ahead of them were Celina and Melissa, with Aubrey taking the fourth spot, after losing in five sets to Princeton. The Lady Panthers went 2-3 in the first round and followed that with the same mark in the second half. Prior to district, they won third place in the Silver bracket at the NCTC tournament and went 2-3 in the Golden Chick Classic. Others non-district wins came over Greenville, Denton Braswell, Lone Oak, Farmersville, Van Alstyne and Leonard, with loses against Emory Rains, McKinney North, Frisco Lone Star, Krum and Argyle. Princeton will lose Nicolette Snyder, Sara Wood, Astraea Wayman, BriAna Lacey, Shelbi Cook and Kaylee Dotson to graduation in June. One week ago in the Class 4A Region II playoffs, they opened the bi-district round with a 25-16, 21-25, 25-18, 2513 win over Kaufman at Royse City High School.
“I thought we played really well against a tough team. They were really excited and focused for the game and it showed in their play,” Lock said. “Our seniors really led the way for us as we stayed aggressive the whole match.” Top performers were Kaylee Dotson (14 kills, 10 digs, four blocks and three service aces), Lacey (48 assists, 15 digs, seven kills and three service aces), Cook (12 kills and 25 digs) and Wood (12 kills and 11 digs). Kaufman placed second in 12-4A, just behind champion Caddo Mills. Crandall and Community earned the final postseason spots. A couple of days later, defending state champion Argyle defeated the Lady Panthers 25-19, 25-15, 25-16 in area at Lone Star High School. “The game was very disappointing for the girls because they played very well against them (Argyle) and took the lead several times, but in the end fell short,” Lock said. “I was extremely proud of the way our players competed against a very strong team. It was not a gimme; we went in with the intentions to compete as hard as we could to win. But give Argyle credit they’re a great team.”
