Armed School Defender Program – What is it and when did it start?

Plan. The goal was to equip certain school personnel with the knowledge, skills and ability to effectively respond to an incident while awaiting LE/ EMS response. These “Immediate Responders” would prepare for not only potential attacks, but the much more likely occurrence of injuries due to severe tornadic weather as well.

Arming teachers was to be a focal point, but there also had to be a vast amount of life-saving medical training also incorporated which staff members could effectively apply. Years later the Texas Legislature would make similar medical training mandatory for all school districts. Another concern was establishing the vetting process of selecting the right staff members volunteering to take on this great responsibility.

After months of consulting with behavioral experts, professional psychologists, military and law enforcement trainers, attorneys, and other professionals in the education industry, we rolled out our newly developed

From My Life to Yours: 3/30/21 11/24/20

A Meeting of God’s Making

By Bro. Bill Beasley

In Memorium Original Publish Date: June 24, 2014

Romans 8:28 and Hebrews 4:13 (LB) We serve an awesome God. He sees the end from the beginning. He knows

how to make all things work together for good to them who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. He sees us for who we are, and where we are, and for what we are doing (Heb. 4:13 LB).

My story for this week’s column comes very near the close of my military service.

I am at home with dad enjoying a lengthy recuperation leave. I had been there a few days when he suggested that we make a visit to the doctors team to thank them for the help that they had given in sending packages to me while I was a prisoner of war. I did not receive them, but it was a nice gesture. It became more than a meeting with the physician — it was a meeting of

God’s making.

One of the young ladies in the office spoke to her apartment mate about seeing me.

The apartment mate was a high school classmate who knew me very well. From this interest, a date was arranged and a beautiful courtship followed.

Both of us knew we had a for real relationship. I believed that the meeting was of God’s making. The horror of my prisoner of war experience seemed to lessen in her presence. God had brought a happy ending to some bad memories. God had seen my needs from the very beginning.

God had a plan for my life and He was working His plan. To God be the glory.

The last big issue being worked out is a changeover of the electric box that will require the loss of power for a period of about 2 to 3 hours.

Sheriff Johnson explained the details that would be taking place this week that involved a lot of coordination of different departments to ensure the safest transition possible. He noted the loss of power would occur during the wee hours of the morning.

Sunday Morning Re-take

Hello everyone!

We had a wonderful service in God’s house Sunday morning!

As you know, we are living in very uncertain times, but God’s Word gives us words of encouragement to help us through these times. The Lord tells us in Isaiah 41:10, “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will

uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Also, as the apostle Paul wrote to the church in Philippi, “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” This is what the Lord commands of us. He promised that He would never leave us nor forsake us. What a wonderful promise that is!

Isaac Watts was one of the most well-known hymn writers in music history. He penned such classic hymns as “At the Cross,” “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross,” and the Christmas classic “Joy to the World,” among many others.

I hope that the words of this song are your testimony.

“O God, our help in ages past,our hope for years to come, our shelter from the stormy blast,and our eternal home: Under the shadow of

your throne your saints have dwelt secure; sufficient is your arm alone, and our defense is sure.”

If you are looking for a good

church home, we invite you to come worship with us here at Central Baptist Church!

Visitors are our honored guests, and we hope to see you

this coming Lord’s day!

Press Release - At the June monthly meeting for the Fannin County Republican Women, two Patriot Scholarships for 2022 were awarded. This year the application process included a required essay of 300 words or more. The essay subject was, “How Can I Be a Good American.” The applicants must have resided in Fannin County for the last 12 months or have attended a Fannin County school consistently for the last 12 months.

This year our two recipients are Allison Blevins from Leonard High School and Jaden Nelson from Bells High School.

Allison Blevins is the daughter of Jason and Betsy Blevins of Leonard. She stated in her essay that “someone can be a “Good American” in a variety of ways. . . you would need to pay attention to what is going on in OUR country, participate in elections so that your opinion is heard, and be dedicated to service and helping in events such as election.”

Allison has been very busy in her high school career serving as the Head Drum Major of the school band, serving in her church as a youth leader and lead piano player, being an officer in Beta Club

and FCA and all the while excelling in her academics, graduating with a 4.81 gpa. Allison will be attending Collin College.

Jaden Nelson is the son of Cody and Kristina Nelson of Savoy.

Jaden began his essay expressing his gratitude for those men and women who have served our country by selflessly fighting for our freedoms. Jaden voiced his thoughts on how important it is to vote. He also feels that to be a good American is to be charitable to those that are less fortunate. Jaden has had a successful high school, serving as president of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Student Council.

He has given the Sunday sermon at his church. Jaden has played football, basketball and was the announcer at home baseball game. Even though he was very busy with all of his extra curricular activities he was able to graduate with a 4.0 gpa. Jaden will be attending Texas A&M University at Commerce.

The Fannin County Republican Women seek to provide support to our community while enriching lives and encouraging young adults to become productive and patriotic citizens.

Commissioners Continued from page 16 21. Discussion, consideration and action regarding Personnel Executive Session – County Judge: Judge Moore noted this was basically about salaries and the budget and said there were strides made for the future of the county that he is excited about. He noted there will be more information coming on this at a later date but stated he would pass on this at this time.

22. Discussion, consideration and action regarding the appointment of Lake Ralph Hall Zoning Commission members – County Judge: Judge Moore noted that some time ago the Lake Ralph Hall Zoning Commission was set up with nine members to be on that board.

Since then it has been discovered via the Texas Association of Counties attorney Jim Al-

lison, that only five members are legally allowed to be on that commission. The chairperson must be an elected official of the county with the four other members being appointees. Judge Moore noted that some of the nine members currently on the board was not nominated to be there. He also noted that Jan Cooper was the mayor of Ladonia when appointed but recognizing that would change in January, he asked for input from the Commissioners.

Commissioner Magness then stated that due to the chairperson needing to be an elected official he would resume the position of chair and suggested that because Newt Cunningham would probably be the next incoming county judge, he should remain on the committee as should John Ed Shinpaugh and Jaylen Wallace. Commissioner Magness then stated that Jan Cooper should also remain on the committee until

Game Warden Field Notes still close by and she heard it just a few minutes before he arrived. Shortly after that, the officer heard a car drive over the rumble strips nearby on galm road and watched as the woman’s body language immediately changed. The officer asked if they believed the noise they just heard was a pig and both nodded. He explained it was only cars crossing rumble strips on the road nearby.

Embarrassed by the misperceived threat, the lost hikers were reassured by the officer that the unknown can be scary and their reaction surprisingly common.

Putting Away A Good Conscience

By Mike Dickison

The Bible defines a good conscience. A good conscience has to do with honesty, obedience, charity, and right living. Paul wrote to Timothy about some who did not hold faith or a good conscience, “Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck” (1 Timothy 1:19). Let us consider a good conscience.

To have a good conscience we must be honest in all things.

“Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly” (Hebrews 13:18). We must be honest with ourselves and honest with God’s word.

To have a good conscience we must be obedient to the Gospel. Peter wrote that The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 3:21). It was Peter that “commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord” (Acts 10:48).

To have a good conscience we must have charity or love.

The apostle to the Gentiles wrote that “Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned” (1 Timothy 1:5).

In Romans we find that “love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law” (Romans 13:10).

To have a good conscience we must live properly to have a good influence. Peter wrote that “Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ” (1 Peter 3:16). Paul wrote that we should have “Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you” (Titus 2:8).

Some have put away a good conscience by dishonesty, disobedience, a lack of charity, and living for themselves and not God. Paul said that some were “Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron” (1 Timothy 4:2). Let us HAVE a good conscience.

located on the South Side of Silo Rd across from Cardinal Lane and Robin Lane (ID# 132121) from Local Business to Multi-Family Residential High Density: Mark Kinnaird spoke to explain how this request had gone before the P&Z Commission last month and notices had been sent out to landowners in the area with no responses received from the letters sent out and no response at the P&Z meeting. He further noted that it was a unanimous decision of the P&Z Commission to recommend the approval of this request. After some discussion a motion was made by Kevin Hayes to approve with Michael Evans seconding the motion which passed.

Consider and take action to approve a Specific Use Permit/Zoning Change located at the NW corner of Hwy 78 and Hwy 82 (ID# 125587 and 83951) from Residential – General Business (B) to Planned Development (PD): Mr. Kinnaird again explained how letters were sent out with no response received. A discussion ensued between the council and Jake Petras (owner of the property involved in the permit/zone change request) regarding the goals (commercial/retail) of the owner with clarification requested by Mr. Petras of specific usage allowed with the permits. Sean Pate explained the usage allowed with commercial and planned development and how negotiation is involved. Mr. Petras then spoke of top-notch, first-class convenience stores, quick service restaurants, sit down restaurants and a possible boat/rv storage facility. A motion was then made by Michael Evans to approve with Kevin Hayes seconding the motion which passed.

15. Consider and take action to approve a plat located at White St. and Franklin St. (ID# 83928): Mr. Kinnaird gave a history of the property noting that the owners of the property will not be the developers but they do have a buyer to come in and develop the plans. He continued that there were no responses received from the letters notifying landowners in the area but that there was one dissenting vote among the P&Z Commission making the recommendation to approve a 4 to 1 vote. He explained the one dissenting vote voiced concern of the proximity of the proposed development to McCraw Oil and gas and diesel tanks. After some discussion a motion to approve was made by Councilman Bill Chapman, seconded by Kevin Hayes and the motion passed unanimously.
