By Glory Williams Residents of Bonham, Gary and Dottie Bliss announced the winner of their annual scholarship on Tuesday, April 22, 2020.

Gary - retired Vice President at Encore Wire - and his wife Dottie founded the Bliss Scholarship in 2016 as part of their commitment to support education past the

high-school level within the Encore Wire family. Their hope with this scholarship is to enrich a young person’s life and help aid their future. For the fourth year in a row, the Bliss Scholarship has provided a private scholarship through a written essay application and review process. Children of Encore Wire employees are able

to apply for the scholarship and the recipient receives money towards their chosen school.

Ryan Brooks, son of Jennifer Brooks and Encore Wire’s Kevin Brooks, 19 year employee, is planning to use his scholarship award at Kilgore Electrical Lineman College. Ryan will graduate this year from Dodd City.

Spring is upon us!

As our beautiful Fannin County landscape begins to blossom and the native grasses grow, more than just the flower bulbs are opening. Friends and neighbors are starting to emerge from the isolation of quarantine and returning to that sense of community that we all enjoyed before the shut down.

While speaking with a good friend about his promising garden, the topic of “Victory Gardens” came up. These were very prominent throughout both World Wars and exemplified the fighting spirit of a community coming together for a greater good. Though we no longer plant these to support a faraway war effort, their benefits can still be realized locally.

Volunteering at the Fannin County Food Pantry has shown me we have a great need for fresh fruits and vegetables within our community. Our rich soil often yields far more production than we consume, and gardeners are left with a surplus to share. Might I suggest that this blessing be extended to neighbors in need through the Food Pantry. Though donations are always welcomed, the best days for drop-off are Thursdays. (1022 FM-273 Bonham, TX) These past few weeks my ads have centered around what services I will be delivering to you if elected Commissioner – Pct 1. This week, I’ve turned the focus to what we can do for one another. I’d also like to thank everyone who has participated in my #Lunches2Lift drive supporting the Fannin County Children’s Center, Family Crisis Center and our local restaurant industry.

My name is Edwina Lane and I am asking for YOUR vote during the July 14th runoff election for Fannin County Commissioner – Precinct 1. Early voting runs July 6th-10th! *Runoff elections routinely have a low turnout which means it is imperative that voters are motivated to come out and bring their neighbors with them!

Please email, call or text me at (903) 287-0388 and let me know if I can count on your support to Keep Fannin Moving Forward! I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you & God Bless!

listeners for joining the call.

Commissioner Magness asked listeners that when meeting a large piece of county equipment, especially road graders, on narrow County Roads, to please pull over and allow the equipment driver to either move past or pull over to let regular traffic pass. He described an incident where an oncoming truck didn’t wait for a road grader operator to pull over but sped into the ditch to get around quickly. The truck became stuck in the mud, and the County employees needed to pull the truck back onto the road. He asked drivers to give operators the chance to safely pull over and to treat these operators with respect and courtesy.

Commissioner Lackey thanked listeners and noted that as the new lake construction nears completion this coming fall, more related projects such as the renaming of roads will continue to change the area. He asked listeners to be cautious and pay attention when in the area or around construction. He added that Covid-19 is not over,

and asked listeners to be safe and respect those practicing social distancing.

Judge Moore announced that the Bois d’ Arc Lake Planning and Zoning Board hearing, scheduled for Thursday, and the meeting to follow, have been canceled, more information on this will come out soon. He noted that there will be another Covid-19 drive-thru testing on Saturday, May 9, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Multi-Purpose Complex, hosted again by the Texas Guard. The number to make an appointment is (512) 883-2400, but Judge Moore recommended waiting until Thursday to call. Judge Moore thanked precinct employees for working on the cleanup after the tornadoes and recognized also the neighbors and volunteers who came together to help clear roads, clean properties, and repair fences. He also appreciated the Commissioners helping each other during the cleanup.

The meeting adjourned at 9:48 a.m.

During this time at home, I actually had time to sit down and read a variety of articles from different newspapers on the effects of the Corona Virus Pandemic on everyday life. I picked up a newspaper I sometimes skim but rarely have the time to read. The Table of Contents on the first page caught my eye. The Announcement – “WHAT ANCIENT SPIRITUAL TEACHINGS SAY ABOUT PANDEMICS – READ MORE – B2.”

So here it is – either ignore or address it, but citizens around the world are taking stock of their spiritual life, aka THEIR FAITH, as they do in every crisis. The short article led me through a brief view of the Taoists, the Buddhists the ancient Hebrew teachings, and a closing sentence that mentioned “the Christians.” That led me to the next question……

FAITH IN WHAT? Each of these religions stress repentance and reflection on how to live a better life.

Would I ever be able to repent [change] enough? And how many times can one repent? Who’s counting?

I find myself identifying with the Apostle Paul “I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out to completion. For I do not do the good I want to do.

Instead, I keep on doing what I do not want to do.”

Romans 7:18 Then, we scream out, first in our thoughts and culminating in our actions. “I Give Up! ….until the next crisis, when we repent again. And there will be the “next crisis”. Of what use are these mental, emotional and spiritual calisthenics? I suggest they are much the same as our June 1 look-back at January 1’s resolutions; the mournfully lonely tread mill draped with dusty work-out clothes or the gym membership that hasn’t been scanned in since February. You know how I know that Laozi, Buddha, Mohammed and Herod’s Temple can’t help you? They are all dead and buried, gone.

So, what’s the use, “eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we [all] die.” Luke 12:19 Only a fool says this, and it is only the fool that believes it. There is nothing pleasant about thoughts of death. We can try to outrun it, but we can’t escape it. No one wants to die – death is the foundation of fear, the fear that is gripping this nation today.

There is HOPE, there is PEACE and there is LIFE instead of death. But there is only ONE WAY. ONE DOOR! Would a game show host put the grand prize behind each door? Of Course Not! Jesus said, “I AM THE DOOR, if anyone enters by ME, he will be saved [he will live]” John 10:9

The regular meeting of the Fannin County Commissioners Court was called to order at 9:09 a.m. on Tuesday, May 5, 2020, via teleconference.

County Judge Randy Moore established quorum; County Judge and Commissioners from Precincts 2, 3, and 4 were present. Commissioner Gary Whitlock, Precinct 1, was absent. The invocation was given by County Treasurer David Woodson. Major James Manis led the pledges.

4 Judge Moore opened a discussion on the Fannin County Declaration of Disaster Proclamation for Covid-19 by reading local statistics prepared

by Fannin County Health Official Dr. James Froelich.

According to Dr. Froelich, as of Monday, April 4, 2020, there have been a total of 24 positive Covid-19 cases in Fannin County, 14 of which are fully recovered. Only one resident has been reported hospitalized, and there are no fatalities. The Disaster Proclamation with adjusted dates was extended until May 12, 2020.

5 The Covid-19 Response and Continuity of Operations Plan for Fannin County was extended with adjusted dates until May 12, 2020.

6 Minutes from 04/28/2020 and 04/21/2020 were approved.

7 Judge Moore invited Commissioner Jerry Magness to speak on the application for the designation of the Loschke Family Farm as a 100-year Farm for the Family Heritage Plaque.

The award is given by the Texas Department of Agriculture to recognize families who have run a farm or agricultural business for 100 years. Commissioner Magness commented that he knows the Loschke family and that he is proud to have them in the community. The application for this honor was approved.

8 Judge Moore read the specifics of Order 2020-05-05 to rename County Roads 2917, 2950, 2955 and 2730 as a result of Bois d’ Arc Lake construction for the benefit of listeners who may be affected by the change and noted that the Order will be added to the Fannin County website for ease of access.

Judge Moore then introduced Alan Hendrix of Freese and

Nichols to speak on the change.

Mr. Hendrix explained that the Bois d’ Arc Lake construction will result in some bridges being permanently closed and that this severing will require renaming pieces of these roads once connected for emergency response.

Commissioner Dean Lackey commented that in determining which road numbers to change, decisionmakers aimed to affect as few residents as possible. Mr. Hendrix added that TECOG would be contacting residents whose address will be subject to this change. A motion to approve the Order to rename the listed County Roads passed.

9 A motion was made to adopt an order authorizing the sale of fireworks in Fannin County for Memorial Day from May 20, 2020, through May 25, 2020, at midnight. Motion passed. Judge Moore cautioned listeners to use fireworks responsibly.

10 A motion to accept the notice of resignation of Jean Siebenthall, Indigent Healthcare Coordinator, effective May 29, 2020, was approved.

11 Judge Moore opened discussion on considering the position of Indigent Healthcare Coordinator as either part-time or full-time by conducting the recommendation of the previous Coordinator that the position should be advertised and filled as part-time. Commissioner Magness commented that he believes the position was originally part-time and agreed with the recommendation.

Judge Moore added that Jean Siebenthall offered her assistance in the hiring and training of a new Coordinator to replace her. A motion to change the position to part-time and to advertise it as such passed.

12 A motion to approve the payment of bills passed.

13 Public Forum: Judge Moore read a comment by Thomas Jackson, who wrote, Please address the release of information on boat docks, and when it’s going to be available for landowners that have lakefront properties. Judge Moore thanked Mr. Jackson for his comment.

You can make a difference!

Jesus is the Answer to all our unfulfilled expectations of ourselves. “What a wretched person I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?

Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our LORD!” Romans 7:24-25 Jesus said – I WILL! “I AM the Resurrection and life.

The one who believes in Me will live even though he dies, and anyone who is alive and believes in Me will never die at all. John 11:25 A crisis may bring us to our knees, but who will we call out to while we are down there? Mohammad, Laozi, Buddha, the temple, our own will power, our own goodness? I think we can agree that course only puts us back on the merry-go-round of failure. Each of these have died the death, including our will power and self-righteousness.

“Through one man, Adam, sin came into the world, and death came because of sin; and so death passed unto all men, for all have sinned. For if, by the rebellion of the one man, Adam, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and the gift of right standing with God reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!

Romans 5:12, 17 Jesus – I want to be part of You, the only One who satisfied God’s standard and you proved it when you conquered death and came back alive from the dead.

I give up my life that is subject to death for Your life that is forever. I know that change and repentance is not enough, no matter how hard I try, unless I receive Your Life. I do want to change. I trust in You; I believe in You. I can’t do this without You. There is only One Way – and You are it. Change me as only You Can! I want to have new life – to be born again in You. Thank you!

The Serpent in the Garden

By Bro. Bill Beasley Genesis 3:1-4

No sooner had God finished His work of creation by making Adam and Eve, the man and woman in Earth’s first family than the serpent appeared on the scene.

Satan was not there to congratulate God, but rather to place before them the temptation to be

disobedient and eat the forbidden fruit. His one purpose then as well as now was to be a destructive force in family living. We are still suffering from the fall of man that took place that day.

Building a godly family is our daily challenge.

Our success is a delight to God. The result is that our family becomes a light in the world and the salt of the Earth. We must be constantly aware that Satan and his forces are intent to be an enemy to us and are waging an unrelenting warfare with God’s people.

the patio this past week we discussed the difficulties for today’s families to be faithful to their spiritual commitment. It is evident to me when watching the business of two of the greatest people in my life; they are devoted to God, me, their son, but make no mistake their jobs. We agreed that there are a multitude of avenues open to Satan to enter with his temptations, to compete for rank.

We have been blessed with new advancements in technology and developments. We must remember that they are usable by evil as well as by good. Television is an

instrument to be enjoyed.

But it is also a conveyor of free speech and free expression. As a result pornographic material, as well as profanity and vulgarity infiltrate our homes daily.

We are doing many good things with our time, but often the best things are crowded out.

An example is prayer and Bible studying with the family unit. It has been said that altars of worship in the home alters the way we live in our homes.

While there are many other areas being assaulted, one that is very important in community living is the Church. We have to divide our time so many ways the church often suffers.

teleCalm Bridges Isolation for Seniors with Alzheimer’s and Dementia

Specialty service connects families during COVID-19 pandemic Dallas/Ft. Worth, May 5, 2020 – Specialty phone service teleCalm® protects seniors with Alzheimer’s and dementia, empowers caregivers, and brings peace of mind to family members.

“The service has been lifechanging for our subscribers and particularly so during the COVID-19 pandemic” said co-founder and CEO Tavis Schriefer.

Because seniors with dementia experience challenges using the phone, many times the only solution is to remove it from their residence altogether, which can lead to isolation and lack of communication between seniors and family members. teleCalm allows seniors to make and receive calls easily and allows family members to filter incoming and outgoing calls.

This eliminates inappropriate 911, repeat dialing and scam calls.

“The service has resulted in extremely positive feedback since we launched in 2017 and has been critical for families during the last few weeks of sheltering in place,” said Schriefer.

“Over the past few weeks, we’ve heard stories about families that can’t connect to loved ones in senior living communities and teleCalm has helped to bridge that gap,” he said.

Subscriber Lisa Johnson, who recently lost her father to COVID-19, was able to maintain communication with her parents in senior living and have a final phone call with her father.

“I told him everything I wanted to tell him. I told him I loved him and, in an instant, with the most clarity in his voice, he told me he loved me back and that he knew that no matter what, we loved him. That was the last conversation I had with my Dad,” said Johnson. “teleCalm truly was our lifeline. I feel like it played such a huge role for me and my family because I was able to articulate to my sisters what my father had said,” she said.

Family members can subscribe to teleCalm and there are no additional costs to senior living owners. The service is easy to set up, even with current shel-

ter in place parameters. teleCalm was inspired by Tavis and Jill Schriefer’s experience in caring for his mother, who suffered from dementia.

“As caregivers, we experienced the challenges of helping a loved one with dementia retain a level of independence while keeping them safe from targeted scams and telemarketers,” said Schriefer.

In addition to seniors with dementia, the teleCalm solution benefits individuals with cognitive challenges such as Parkinson’s Disease, autism, and traumatic brain injury.

“While an e-book can never take the place of a traditional printed book, I like the flexibility for this subject matter because I can introduce video into the mix,” he says. “Also, if there are any substantive updates in the future, changes will be really easy to accommodate.”

For the past thirty years, Texas-based photographer and writer Russell Graves has worked as a commercial and editorial photographer for brands and editorial outlets in

the outdoors, agriculture, and travel industries. With tens of thousands of images in publication, nearly a million words published, and hundreds of magazine covers to his credit, Russell has been a prolific image creator for more than half of his life.

The Big Book of Wildlife and Nature Photography can be purchased for $14.99 via on-demand download at www. wildlifephotoshow.com/books and includes a promotional code for a discount on Backcountry Journeys photography trips (up to a $1,399 value).

Creative Arts Center offers masks that are a Work of Art

Press Release - The Creative Arts Center has maintained their visibility during the COVID-19 stay-at-home period by continuing their exhibits and continuing to process sales. Though group activities are suspended, staying in the public eye is important, according to Executive Direc-

tor Lisa Avila.

“The arts center has complied with the governor’s stay-at-home and closure order, making use of the extra time to work on smaller projects within the center,” Lisa said recently. “But I felt it was important to remind everyone that our gallery and our artists are still here.

That is why we continued with our exhibits, posting them on our website so the art is still visible and available for purchase.”

Regarding the Coronavirus Disease 2019, the Center for Disease Control “...recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measure are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and

T FL O LARGEVSENTOROYRING !

pharmacies)....” With these recommendations in mind, local artist Patty Kreider decided to take action, devising a pattern for a two-layer, reversible mask for the Creative Arts Center to sell.

Patty is known as a painter and silversmith and she put her talents to work to produce masks that are comfortable, reversible, washable and have a wire to adjust on the nose portion of the mask. In the coming days, she is making masks with pockets for filters and they will be available in addition to Patty’s other masks currently for sale at the arts center.

The masks are $12.95 and the HEPA masks will be $15.95.

There are a limited number of children’s masks for $6.50.

“Employee of the Year” for 2019-2020! Although we didn’t have the classrooms full of kids to storm into

and surprise them in front of their students, we still managed to track them down!

Comments included how Jodi can experience the toughest challenges and keep a smile on her face.

Her patience, caring attitude, and ability to connect with students was seen as just a few of her admirable traits. Everyone that nominated her, which included many, even used the words “sweetest person I know.”

Secondary Teacher of the Year- Stena Brewer: Comments included how Stena is the “model teacher” in a small district.

She wears several hats from English teacher, UIL One-Act Play, Family Consumer Science, etc.

She is a teacher leader that strives for excellence and keeps academics top priority. We do not know

SRISD. Employee of the YearKin Stewart: Comments included how he doesn’t just see his job in Transportation but also helps Maintenance and pitches in wherever needed.

Coaches, especially, commented on how their transportation issues were also solved in last-minute situations and Kin Stewart would often drive buses himself to games and field trips when plans fell through. Others commented on his sense of humor and dry wit!

We are very fortunate to have all three of these individuals in SRISD. The teachers will go on and represent Sam Rayburn ISD in the Region 10 Teacher of the Year

state competition out of the various educational service center regions across Texas. Good luck Mrs. Amlin and Mrs. Brewer!

You are both outstanding representations of the teacher quality in our school district!

Game Warden Field Notes

You Can’t See Me A Karnes County game warden was on patrol when he noticed a deputy’s patrol vehicle on the side of the road near the San Antonio River bridge. The deputy approached the warden and told him that there was a truck that had been there for a short while without any occupants.

The warden looked in the bed of the truck and found a fishing pole. The deputy and warden looked under the bridge and found two individuals fishing. They watched for a short time to make sure the individuals were both fishing before announcing their presence. When the warden called out to the fishermen, the two individuals squatted down. The warden watched with his binoculars, and both men still didn’t move. The warden called out to them again and told them to stand up. The two men then stood up and came to talk with him.

Neither of them had a fishing license and both were issued citations.

No Sale A game warden was contacted about an Operation Game Thief incident in progress regarding an individual in Killeen selling crappie and catfish on a social media website. The warden located the post and found the seller’s address. After arriving at the seller’s location, the individuals admitted to the warden that they had been trying to sell the crappie and catfish they caught at Stillhouse Hollow Lake on social media for the last two days, but no one purchased them. The warden issued a citation for the sale of protected game fish and seized seven blue catfish, one yellow catfish and a bag of crappie meat. Case pending.

SR to have new head coaches for v’ball, boys hoops, baseball

The University Interscholastic League’s pause on March 16 and cancellation on April 17 of the remainder of spring sports seasons due to COVID-19 cut short Sam Rayburn’s first season under Putman after less than a dozen games.

On March 19, the Sam Rayburn board accepted the resignation of Travis Jones who served as the high school and junior high head boys basketball coach, baseball assistant and athletic director. Jones attributed his departure from coaching to beginning pursuit of a master’s degree.

Sam Rayburn in February finished winless for a second-consecutive year in varsity boys district basketball in 12-2A -- still rebuilding after heavy graduation losses off 2018’s regional quarterfinalist team.

The new head boys basketball coach will equate the third in Ector Bonham as many seasons for Sam Rayburn, which will have mostly different -- but recently familiar --district opponents for the next two seasons as a part of the new 14-2A: Celeste, Honey Grove, Merit Bland, Tom Bean (holdover), Trenton and Wolfe City.

By Rich Hilliard IVANHOE -- Class 2A Sam Rayburn will have three new head coaches for team sports for the 2020-21 athletic year.

Openings for head coaches for baseball and volleyball in April joined a March listing for a boys head basketball coach for Sam Rayburn at https:// www.teacherjobnet.org/.

Hiring recommendations will be made and considered at the May 21 school board meeting.

The current academic year at Sam Rayburn Independent School District equates the first for each departing coach.

On April 28, Sam Rayburn ISD superintendent Dr. Cole McClendon confirmed that head volleyball coach Ali Wood has accepted a teacher/ coach position with Prosper In-

dependent School District for next year.

Wood oversaw Sam Rayburn’s first season of volleyball, which included junior high teams and competing in district play, with assistance from school counselor and former Bonham volleyball player Melissa Rich.

The Lady Rebels will make their high school varsity and jayvee volleyball debut later this year in the new District 16-2A, which also includes 2A’s Collinsville, Tioga, Tom Bean, Trenton and Wolfe City and 1A’s Dodd City and Savoy.

The top four 2A teams per 2A district advance to the 2A postseason bracket.

Sam Rayburn ISD’s board on April 16 accepted the resignation of Rebels’ baseball manager Matt Putman.
