North Texas Family Purchases a Home With a Unique Program

Seniors across the state are moving to North Texas to downsize, be near family, and cut their budget.

Recently, we helped a family relocate from the Eastern US after selling their home and arriving in a 5th Wheel. They anticipated having enough cash to purchase a home and have no monthly payment. They were wrong. There were no homes available in their price range that afforded a cash buy. Luckily, their Realtor, Tonya Ashley, had a solution.

Tonya recommended the FHA program for a Reverse Mortgage.

This program provided the financing for the home they wanted, in Bonham, in less than 30 days!

With the proceeds from the sale of

their previous home, they put approximately 60 % cash down and were able to keep 40% for cash reserves.

With the FHA Reverse Mortgage, they purchased a home that they didn’t think they could afford, same as cash, with no monthly payment (except taxes, insurance, and maintenance). For them, it was a miracle! In the end, they achieved their dream home AND had cash reserves left over for window treatments and other special touches.

FHA Reverse Mortgage is an incredible opportunity designed to help seniors with a secure retirement. North Texas has excellent growth potential for retired and se-

nior homebuyers. This opportunity can make a significant difference in purchasing a home, and in many cases, provides savings to enhance retirement.

At first, this family was skeptical and asked a lot of questions. We made the process easy and riskfree for them and communicated every step of the way to make sure they were comfortable. Today, they are thrilled to be living in our North Texas community. The

key is education, asking the right questions, and finding a knowledgeable, caring team to help you achieve your goals.

Bois D’Arc2/4/20 Lake Zoning Commission Hearing/Meeting – Zoning Regulation Issues 5/19/15

By Rose Schwartz

Thursday, May 6, 2021, County Judge Randy Moore called to order a Public Hearing to hear Comments Regarding Zoning Text Amendments at 8:01 a.m.

1. Changes, corrections & additions including amendment log, definitions, charts, masonry requirements &

conflicts with other laws in the Lake Zoning Regulations: Fannin County Development Service Director Di Hopkins spoke about the conflict regarding building requirements listed in the Zoning Regulations Manual and the State Law HB 2439 which prohibits counties from regulating building materials. She also spoke on the Special Use

Permit for RV Parks; addition of an Amendment Log and Zoning Conflicts between Lake Bonham housing and those in the Buffer Zone. Attorney Cunningham addressed the masonry regulation situation and after some discussion it was decided that the Commission should wait for possible legislation to happen within the month to a month and a

half, that might address the building materials law before any decision is made regarding their regulation manual and any attempt to enforce that regulation. Mr. Cunningham also spoke on the issue of the double zoning situation involved with the homes in the Lake Bonham Buffer Zone. After Mr. Cunningham spoke, there were no other speakers and County Judge Moore called the hearing adjourned at 8:40 a.m.

On the same day at 8:40 a.m., County Judge Randy Moore Called to Order the Regular Meeting of the Bois D’Arc Lake Zoning Commission.

Quorum was established as four Commission members were present with Gary Fernandes absent.

2. Public Forum: A North

Texas developer spoke on requests he and his associates have regarding building homes on the 300 acres they have obtained on the South side of Bois D’Arc Lake. His requests were: regulation change from requiring 1 acre lots for a septic system to ½ acre lots; minimum side setbacks to 10ft instead of 25ft; roads inside of a community be 24 ft wide instead of 34 ft; width of a lot at the road on a cul-de-sac that creates a pie shape, be 30 ft instead of the current 100 ft requirement.

Next to speak in Public Forum was a member of the Fannin County Historical Commission who spoke about a map that was presented 2 years ago to the then Bois D’Arc Lake Commission (though the members have changed,) showing

where 22 very old cemeteries are located within the 5,000’ Buffer Zone, that need to be protected. He would like the cemeteries to be represented on the Lake map and the map to be used in playing a role in adopting zoning and would like them to be viewable on the interactive map. Another member of the Historical Commission requested that when someone requests a zoning change regarding land with one of those cemeteries contained therein, that the Historical Commission be notified.

3. Approve meeting minutes from 04/01/2021 Public Hearing and 04/01/2021 Regular Meeting: Motion was made & passed to approve.

4.

Discussion, consideration and action regarding masonry requirements in the Lake Zoning Regulations and recommendation to Commissioners Court: Di Hopkins spoke about possibly adding verbiage to the application regarding the masonry requirements stating the masonry requirements cannot be enforced.

Lake Zoning Continued from page 4

Discussion ensued about suspending building permitting until they get an answer from the legislature and/or other solutions. A motion was made

by Matt Titsworth to table this item till the next meeting, seconded by Gilbert Welch and passed.

5. Discussion, consideration and action to approve requiring a Special Use Permit for RV Parks; Use Chart 3.03 in the Lake Zoning Regulations: Administrative Assistant Lisa Loiselle explained how today’s hearing covered the formal recommendation and how this can now proceed to Commissioners Court for their hearing. A motion was made by Gilbert Welch to rec-

through a ministry of caring continues without end. My thought for this week is entitled “Caring Ministries.”

The Scripture lesson for this article is found in the crucifixion scene and is spoken from the lips of Jesus. It is recorded in John 19:25-27.

It is so typical of the mission of Jesus – he displays a caring heart.

Look with me for just a moment.

Jesus expresses a request and elicits from it a response. Both the request and response bear an application for our day.

Suspended on the Cross of Calvary, suffering the wounds of death, He looks into the face of His mother

and that of His disciples nearby. With his approaching death His role as caregiver is ending but her needs are still real.

So He speaks to Mary in clear tones “Woman behold thy son.”

I understand the statement as one that is not calling attention to Himself, but one in which He is assigning Mary’s care to John, the disciple. Her ministry of care is to come from the one Jesus now tells Mary to look to – “Behold thy son” – and to John “Behold thy mother.”

The application of the story is to so love our mothers that we honor them and to

ommend to Commissioners Court to require a Special Use Permit for RV Parks, a motion was seconded and passed.

6. Discussion, consideration and action to approve the addition of an Amendment Log to the Lake Zoning Regulations and recommendation to Commissioners Court: Motion was made by Kevin Durwin to approve, seconded by Matt Titsworth and passed.

7. Discussion, consideration and action to approve Memorandum of Understanding between Fannin County and City of Bonham regarding any double zoned property within the 5,000’ buffer of Bois d’Arc Lake and the recommendation to Commissioners Court: Judge Moore welcomed the Director of Community De-

velopment for the City of Bonham, Mark Kinnaird and Attorney Christina Tillett.

Lake Zoning Continued from page 5

Mark Kinnaird began by saying that after speaking to members of the Commissioners Court, he believes everyone’s end game is to get to where there are no double zoned properties within the 5,000’ Buffer Zone and that he has heard from several property owners within the Buffer Zone who want only one governing body to oversee the zoning in these areas. He then gave the discussion over to Attorney Christina Tillett and Attorney Cunningham. After much back and forth about the Statute involving double zoning and the complexities of delegating au-

thority, the possibility of Bois D’Arc Zoning Commission not having zoning in the 5,000’ Buffer Zone was discussed.

However, opposition to the possible solutions kept being voiced with the issue of having a pig pen next to a luxury home continually brought up.

At one point Mr. Kinnaird asked if what he was hearing was, there was still a dual zoning issue with the properties?

More discussion ensued with possible problematic scenarios developing if Bois D’Arc and the County release their authority and a discussion ensued regarding the handling of ETJ (extra territorial jurisdiction.)

With no clear solution, it was decided to table this item to the next meeting so that the attorneys could research the issues,

consult with Daniel Harrison of Freese and Nichols and get on the same page to avoid unlawful actions that could bring about lawsuits. A motion was made, seconded and passed to table this item till they hear back from the City Attorney.

8. Discussion, consideration and action regarding changes and/or modifications by landowners: Judge Moore addressed the requests voiced during Public Forum by the landowner developer. The request to reduce the requirement of 1 acre to a half-acre for a septic system, was discouraged. The request to reduce setbacks and reduce the width of roads inside a community was discussed along with the pie-shaped lots and the possibilities of special exemptions

and variances made available.

Opposition to changing the regulations was voiced and discussion ensued. Mr. Welch advised the developer that a formal request would need to be made for the Commission to consider their requests.

9. Set next BDA LZC meeting and/or hearing date(s): Motion was made, seconded and passed to set next meeting as June 3, 2021, at 8:30 a.m.

10. Adjourn: Motion was made, seconded and passed to adjourn at 9:50 a.m.

8. Receive presentation

by Dale McQueen regarding the number of visitors the Multi-Purpose Complex brings to Bonham each year as well as the use by local entities for their events: Dale McQueen who manages the Multi-Purpose Complex, gave a report on who uses the Complex, how many visitors used the Complex last year and how that number was about a third of the amount from those who have visited in times past. He does expect an increase this year with Covid restrictions easing. He explained how visitors have been known to come from as far away as Plano, Greenville, Sherman and Paris and how their visit impacts the local economy. He explained that with events, 700 people can fit into the facility and how a future goal of the his is to build a smaller facility that can host smaller groups in the range of a hundred people.

He also hopes to hire a fulltime employee and ended his report on the positive note that even with the reduction of visitors last year, they still made a profit. After his presentation he was asked of the possibility of asphalt being lain down in place of gravel walkways. Mr. McQueen responded that he did not believe the money to do that is available. A discussion also ensued about the maintenance of the RV sites at the facility.

9. Hold public hearing and consider and take action on an ordinance amending ordinance 1105 to adopt various International Codes relating to model building, health and safety and inspection activities as they pertain to construction, property maintenance and enforcement of said codes: Mayor H Compton called a public hearing at 5:55 p.m. and asked Code Enforcement Officer Mark Posey of the Bonham P.D. to address this item. Officer Posey explained why it would be better to add the Texas Health and Safety Code as opposed to using the International Property and Maintenance Code. With the Texas Health and Safety Code the Bonham Police could handle a situation needing immediate attention, immediately.

Bill Goldston, OSU alumnus and current owner of ULAE, has been affording all-expenses-paid internships for three students in the OSU Art Department every year since 1987. He is passionate about providing a platform for students to be immersed in a new environment and take advantage of everything New York City has to offer. Next fall, It will be one of Fannin County’s own, Will Lacy, making the journey from Oklahoma State University in Stillwater to New York for the fall semester.

Will is a Senior Graphic Design Major at Oklahoma State.

This past spring, he applied for department level scholarships and received not one, but two prestigious scholarships, the ULAE scholarship as well as the Carson Scott.He also received an Honorable Mention in the 40th Annual Student Juried Exhibition in April. Will, also a McKnight Leadership Scholar at OSU is looking forward to the challenge and excitement of the Big Apple.

Will is the son of Rory Hilliard of Dodd City and Brad Lacy of Savoy.

All Scripture is given by God and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work. II Timothy 3:16 Israel and their King, Jehoahaz were surrounded by the enemy. Bands of thieves and murderers were oppressing Israel under the command of the Aramean King, Hazael.

King Hazael had decimated Israel’s military forces to a mere skeleton of its former strength and glory under King Solomon. Their numbers had dwindled and, from peasant to King, the people were afraid of what was happening to their land. What happened to the Glorious Land of King David and King Solomon, those mighty leaders? Israel was famous for YHWH, their God. In former times, the enemies of Israel shuddered at the mention of the God of Israel, for they knew that Israel’s God fought for His people. Had God gone deaf? Had He grown old? Was His vision impaired?

Could he no longer hear? Had he lost His ability to intercede for the people who had been called by His Name? (read II Kings 13:1-7). The truth is, God was listening, but no one was talking to Him, and no one was listening for His voice.

The land had settled into a lifestyle where God was an afterthought, not their first thought. As circumstances worsened, King Jehoahaz sought God. “Then Jehoahaz sought God’s face, so God listened to him, for God saw the oppression in Israel.” (II Kings 13:4) When Jehoahaz prayed, God was listening and, “God gave Israel a deliverer so that they escaped from under the oppressive hand of the Arameans, and the families of Israel lived in their homes as they had before.” (II King 13:5) AHHH – Peace and Prosperity once more. All is right in the world. But was it? Peace without repentance is short lived.

WE’VE ALMOST SOLD ALL OF Licensed & Insured

King Jehoahaz and those that suffered under his leadership had nothing to show for their brief encounter with God. God was listening; His ears were attentive to His people, but the people were not listening to their God. Their attention quickly turned to other matters when the imminent danger was past.

IS GOD LISTENING?

Nevertheless, Israel did not turn away from their sins which their former king had caused Israel to commit. The idols remained standing in Samaria (the seat of the government).

Press Release - In just under one year of operations, the Open Arms Shelter, at 1205 Albert Broadfoot St, Bonham, has helped over 95 people in the local community with food and shelter; with many former residents going on to find permanent housing and employment.

One of the challenges that the shelter is facing is finding adequate volunteers to assist with the day to day running of the shelter.

Shelter Director, Melody McKibbin states “We need volunteers to cover all shifts, particularly weekend evening and morning shifts. McKibbin went on to say “Volunteers are fully trained and will be provided on the job training and support.”

Volunteering can be a very rewarding experience, and can be an asset when building a resume, building your network and making friends, but most of all you will be giving back to your local community.

Mrs. McKibbin added: “Volunteers are asked to commit to at least one 3-4 hour shift per month, be at least 18 years of age, and be able to pass a background check.”

If you are interested in volunteering your time for this vital community service call Melo-

TO A NEW RESERVOIR IN NORTH TEXAS.

Twenty-six square mile Bois d’Arc Lake starts delivering drinking water in 2022, plus major economic and recreation benefits.

Only months ago, during the pandemic that has stifled our nation, I heard a top leader in our country address a large church congregation. He quoted a well-known verse, “If my people, who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face…then I will hear from heaven and heal their land.” II Chronicles 7:14. The “amens” were profuse, and the accolades for these words of wisdom formidable. I wondered if anyone noticed that an entire portion of the quoted verse had been omitted. Have we struck “repentance” from our vocabulary? The verse says, “IF MY PEOPLE, WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND PRAY AND SEEK MY FACE AND TURN FROM THEIR EVIL WAYS [aka REPENTANCE], THEN I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN AND HEAL THEIR LAND.” Would we really ask our Creator to help us, to deliver us from oppression without repenting (changing) our ways to agree with Him? This nation has been doing just that for a long time. Our God is kind and merciful. He is always listening to hear the voice of His People because He loves us. In his prayer to God in Psalms 51:17, King David is crying out to God for forgiveness. He knew he could make no sacrifice that would please God except to offer Him a “broken and contrite heart.” What is the definition of this sacrifice that pleases God? A contrite heart or spirit is when a person’s inner person has been broken so they no longer run after what they want but surrenders to what God wants. A person no longer seeks only God’s hand of provision, but desires to enter into an intimacy with God – to know Him, Face to face. It is a Love Relationship that our God seeks. Under King Jehoahaz, things did not turn out so well for Israel. Their dedication to the true God was brief and lasted only as long as relief from the present crisis was realized. They never took down the idols of everyday life, so they quickly slid back into their old lifestyle. They wanted the benefits of marriage, community property and a lasting inheritance, but they did not want to tie the knot with God to the exclusion of all others.

They had no desire to give up their name and lifestyle for a commitment that would involve self-sacrifice. They wanted to live in the shadow of God’s glory and provision, but they wanted to come and go as they pleased. Is this the American way? I think so. Until the altars of our churches are filled with men and women with a broken and contrite heart, our immediate relief will not bring about lasting health. Until we are willing to stand at the altar and give up our dreams for His, we will not realize the lasting inheritance of His Peace.

God is listening to us, but are we listening to Him? Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

Matthew 11:15.

Lord Jesus, break my heart. Give me a broken and contrite spirit that pleases You.

From the Mouths of Babes Three Williamson County game wardens were checking night fisherman at Lake Granger and the San Gabriel River when one of the wardens spotted a man and child using a cast net along the bank of the Wilson Fox Fishing Pier. The wardens contacted the individuals and the child said they had several fish in a bucket and

one was a really big fish. The warden inspected the fish and pulled out a largemouth bass measuring 14 inches and asked the child if he caught the big fish. The child replied, “No, my brother caught it with the cast net.” When confronted, the adult admitted to catching one largemouth bass and a crappie. Citations and civil restitution were filed.

5/11/21 OBITUARIES HOPE ELISABETH BROOKS WILCOX

Hope Elisabeth Brooks Wilcox passed away Sunday May 2, 2021 at age 41 in Dallas Texas. Hope was Born February 26th, 1980 to Troy and Beth Brooks and raised in Plano Texas. She served a faithful mission to the Boise Idaho mission after which she attended the University of North Texas earning her Masters in Speech and Language pathology.

Her most beloved “achievement” was becoming a mother to her own and her bonus children.

She is survived by her parents Troy and Beth and Hope’s 8 siblings – Christopher and wife Emily with their 4 children.

Lauren and husband Stephen with their 2 children. Adam and wife Zoe with their 4 children. Ben his son. Jacob, and wife Miranda with their 3 children. Aubrey, and husband Cole and their 3 children. Seth and Jared.

She leaves behind her daughter Suzie and son Owen with her two bonus children Izaiah and Jaxon with their father Glynn and her beloved puppy Penny. Hope was preceded in death by her daughter Elisabeth and son Finn who she is now reunited with.

To know Hope was to know “your person” she was unfailingly kind with a wicked sharp wit. Hope loved with her whole heart and you felt it in every hug. Her smile was illuminating and filled any room. Hope was a loving and caring person, and she was our own personal Wonder Woman; with her passing we all have lost some of the magic in the world.

Lake Ralph Hall is only half of the size of Bois d’Arc and generates only a third of the water, it was the right size for their needs. He then proceeded with the slideshow presentation showing: The qualities of Lake Ralph Hall’s site; A map of the path of the pipeline from the lake to the reservoir site and then to Lake Lewisville; A map of Roadway Relocations; A projected drawing of the North Sulphur River Bridge on SH 34 that will be 1.1 miles long, 59 ft wide, with construction scheduled to begin this June; The Ladonia NSR Fossil Park and where it is to be relocated; The projected Leon Hurse Dam with construction to begin in June; An overview of the Lake Ralph Hall Development Agreement that was executed in 2008; And the next steps for the lake that has a goal of water delivery by 2025. After the presentation, a question about cemeteries was asked by Judge Moore with a suggestion for them to work with Larry Standlee in identifying historical cemeteries around the lake. Mr. Standlee offered to work with the Upper Trinity in that regard. Judge Moore asked about the police protection on the lake and if there would be any compensation coming from Upper Trinity or would that be expected to be funded by the County.

He was told that there was no specific compensation for that task, however the district made a commitment for ten years to make payment to the County and to the school district and to the City of Ladonia that began four years ago. He said, that since that was done a long time ago (the agreement) and they know more about what the requirements and deeds are today, that’s an item that should be addressed and re-evaluated

with the county so everyone feels they are being treated fairly. Some discussion ensued and then a citizen of Fannin County asked how would Fannin County get the water it needs ten years from now as neither pipeline from Bois d’Arc or Lake Ralph Hall had treated water coming back into Fannin County? Judge Moore stated there were some things in the works and Mr. Patterson stated the general response was that Ladonia would receive up to a million and a half gallons free and up to 10 percent of the lake could be provided for that area at a cost. He further explained that developers would pay for those internal facilities necessary to support their developments.

17. Discussion, consideration and action regarding partial closure of County Roads 3375, 3640 and 3645 and full closure of County Roads 3605 and 3610 in Ladonia, Texas: Motion was made, seconded and passed to approve.

18. Discussion, consideration and action to select members for the Lake Ralph Hall Zoning Committee: After some discussion Judge Moore made a motion to establish the Lake Ralph Hall Zoning Committee to consist of Commissioner Magness as chair of the Committee; with two people from the City of Ladonia, John S Schenthal for Precinct 3 with an alternate of Robert Milton; Precinct 4 - Kyle Griffen with an alternate of Jaylen Wallace; and to allow a week or two for Precinct 1 & 2 to find someone in their precinct to represent them. Commissioner Magness seconded the motion. Mr. Patterson made the point that the first meeting was programmed to be June 8 and there would be 16 public meetings. With no more questions or discussions,

the vote was taken to pass the motion.

19. Discussion, consideration and action to address driveways without culverts, driveways where culverts have been removed and the effect of flooding on county roads: Commissioner Lane gave a report of culverts missing from driveways that are causing flooding problems and a lengthy discussion ensued about a solution that would be uniform in all precincts. It was suggested a standard letter be composed to send to those property owners who need to add or have a culvert repaired.

A citizen of Fannin County spoke of the poor performance by the former commissioner of Precinct 1 and the problems he has encountered with culvert issues. He mentioned the Texas Codes chapter 254 and a water plan that he does not believe has ever been created or implemented in Fannin County. Commissioner Lane said she could not speak to the actions of a former Commissioner but that she is trying to get things corrected. No action taken.

20. Discussion consideration and action to select Project Leader(s) for the Carteograph software implementation: Fannin County Network Administrator Dustin Morrow spoke to this item and the need to designate a couple of commissioners to be leaders for this project who can be top level decision makers. Commissioner Lackey made a motion to select Commissioner Lane and Commissioner Magness.

Motion was seconded by Commissioner Self and passed.

“Grinnell has a good academic program,” said Rhinehart. “I also felt like I had a connection with the players and coaches I met.”

Rhinehart said he ranks high on Grinnell’s depth charts at receiver -- where he will continue to be a slot -- and at the top as a kicker -- the latter be-

ing where he believes he fits best, athletically.

“That started my sophomore year after I hit the game-winning kick at Pottsboro,” said Rhinehart of choosing kicking. “(My recruitment) picked up after that kick,” he said, “and after my junior year when I came back from an ACL injury.”

The game-winning kick and later regular-season-ending injury came during his sophomore season in 2018, when Bonham finished 8-3 overall -- its most wins in a single football regular season since 2001 -- and made its second postseason appearance in a three-year span.

For his efforts, Rhinehart garnered the newcomer of the year superlative in the Purple Warriors’ district in 2018, after earning second-team notoriety as a freshman in the previous grouping.

During his comeback season as a junior, he earned firstteam recognition at kicker and as a receiver.

Last fall, Rhinehart had a team-leading 37 receptions and six touchdowns, hit a game-winning field goal against Howe and was 8-of12 on successful onside kicks.

“It’s the way he puts hop on the ball that gives his teammates a chance to (recover) it,” said Dezern.

Rhinehart, who also holds the school record for scored soccer goals, will now reprise both roles as a part of the Grinnell College football team.

“When I came here, I knew he was a great kicker and good receiver,” said Dezern.

“I’m excited I got to coach [him].

“The coach (at Brookhaven) seemed down to earth,” he said. “I had a good feeling I’d fit in good with their program.”

Since the opening of the revamped Bonham High School a few years ago, college athletic signing ceremonies occur in either one of two gymnasiums now on campus: auxiliary or competition.

Considering it’s where Arrey -- a second-team all-district

selection last season, after being an honorable mention as a junior -- transformed himself into a college basketball signee, having the ceremony in the competition gymnasium was appropriate, according to the coach. “(Jerry) came off the bench and scored two points a game as a junior,” said Hicks.

“He dedicated himself after that -- all spring and summer -to come to workouts any way he could,” said the coach. “He turned himself into probably the best post in the district.

“It shows what hard work can turn into.”

Arrey Extends After Absence: Bonhi post’s dedication, extra practice lead to signing with Brookhaven hoops

By Rich Hilliard BONHAM -- Jerry Arrey last winter helped Bonham have a resurgent season in boys basketball.

His 6-5 presence in the paint affected how at least one Dis-

trict 11-3A opponent admitted in the offseason to having strategized how to counter the post.

“A Pottsboro coach told me Jerry Arrey was the only reason they put in a zone defense -- just to guard him,” said second-year Bonham head boys

basketball coach Eric Hicks.

That’s not bad for a player -- who had stepped away from the game as a sophomore.

The Bonham senior will now extend his basketball days at Brookhaven College in Farmers Branch.

District rivals Ector, DC meet in softball postseason again

By Rich Hilliard

For the fourth consecutive complete softball season, either Ector or Dodd City will play in the Region II-1A Final later this month.

The District 15-2A rivals clashed in a regional semifinals bestof-three series late last week at Bonham High School. The series concluded after the deadline for the May 18 edition of the Fannin County Leader.

The winner will play either Blum or Graford by May 22 -- for a chance to advance to

State.

During the last three complete seasons, the winner of the postseason clashes between the two has eventually reached the Class 1A State Tournament.

In 2017 and 2019, Dodd City reached the State semifinals.

In between, Ector advanced to the State championship game.
